Speaker Time Text
unidentified
This morning with a former White House aide at the stand after the judge denied another request by the defense for mistrial.
brooke singman
Yeah, good morning, guys.
President Trump's defense team will continue cross-examination of former White House aide Madeleine Westerhout this morning.
She testified yesterday about setting up an Oval Office meeting between Trump and Michael Cohen, where she says a payment to Stormy Daniels was discussed.
She also testified that she thinks the former president has been treated unfairly.
Now, Stormy Daniels concluded her testimony yesterday.
So while on the stand, she said she never directly asked Trump for money, but she says she did ask publications for money to send She also admitted to hating Trump.
Now, the defense requested another mistrial, but Judge Murchon denied it.
He also denied a request to modify that gag order so that Trump could defend himself against Stormy Daniels, but Judge denied that, too, claiming that he needs to protect the, quote, integrity of the proceedings.
donald j trump
This judge, what he did and what his ruling was is a disgrace.
Everybody saw what happened today.
He's a corrupt judge and he's totally conflicted.
And I got to get back on the campaign trail.
I'm not supposed to be here.
We are so innocent.
There's never been anything like it.
brooke singman
Yeah, Trump after court told reporters again that he is so innocent and he's ready to get back to the campaign trail.
And this trial resumes this morning at 9.30.
donald j trump
They want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom.
unidentified
It's very simple.
Look into my eyes.
You see what you mean to me.
Search your heart.
Search your soul.
And when you find me there, you'll search no more.
Don't tell me it's not worth trying for.
You can't tell me it's not worth trying for.
You know it's true.
Everything I do, I'll do it for you.
Oh, man.
benny johnson
What a master.
Masterpiece!
unidentified
Oh!
benny johnson
I'm sitting here with my tissue box.
unidentified
Oh!
benny johnson
Oh, it's so beautiful!
unidentified
Oh, it's so beautiful!
benny johnson
Oh, that was amazing!
Well done, Jerry!
Way to go!
Get the tissues out of here!
Oh, man, we got a show to do!
I could watch the whole thing.
I could watch...
I would watch a whole special on that.
On the Lifetime TV network.
Donald Trump just singing the...
Belting out the...
Hits?
The crooner hits of the 80s?
Yeah, baby!
I'd do it today in today's Friday, May 10th, 2024!
Stormy Daniels denies berating attorney as jurors hear juicy taped call with Michael Cohen, and she claims to be demonically possessed by spirits.
Okay, well, that actually starts making sense now.
Got it.
All right.
unidentified
You call it a witch hunt, and it's a witch!
benny johnson
We found our witch.
Trump is taking...
Taking and talking about Tucker Carlson as his vice president.
What's going on?
What's happening again?
Don't do this to my heart.
You can't do this.
You can't.
You can't say Trump...
Trump said Tucker would be vice president like six months ago, okay?
And then we moved to Vivek and now we move on to Tulsi Gabbard and Marco Rubio and whatever.
You can't do it again.
You can't play with my heart like that.
Trump's now openly talking about having Tucker as a running mate again.
What's going on?
We're going to ask Alina Habba.
Who's gonna be on the show in just a moment?
You know Trump's spokesperson?
Trump's top lawyer?
She's been in the courthouse, in the courtroom all week.
We're gonna talk about it, ladies and gentlemen.
This is going to be a great show.
My name is Benny Johnson, and this is The Benny Show.
Okay, so globalists are making it clear that they are going to launch some type of special new health emergency.
The last one was just way too effective, ladies and gentlemen.
You've got to be prepared for this.
They will want to take away your freedom.
They will do it through fear.
You must be able to stand up to this insanity.
Please make sure that you are checking out the medical kits from the wellness company.
Remember, I mean, a lot of news about this topic as of late.
Make sure that you have life-saving medications as well as a guidebook and aid on how to use these antibiotics, antivirals, antipatricidics.
Have them and make sure that you are prepared.
Go to twc.health slash Benny, twc.health slash Benny, twc.health slash Benny.
Use the code Benny for 10% off your order.
These have been, of course, approved by some of our favorite doctors, doctors who have been on the show, Dr. Peter McCullough, for instance.
Ladies and gentlemen, make sure that you are prepared.
Or whatever they have planned next.
Ooh, baby.
Because things aren't going great.
Things aren't going great.
We called it, we're going to call, like, I don't know exactly what to call this.
I guess, have you ever watched The Godfather?
Did you ever watch, like, the end of The Godfather?
Where, like, simultaneously, all the bad guys go away?
This is similar to that.
This is like the revenge plot at the end of The Godfather or Godfather 2. Where, like, in multiple locations all around the country.
Georgia, Florida, New York, all D.C., all five Trump cases are meeting their maker this week.
You got disasters across the spectrum.
Okay, really quickly, just off the top of the head.
In Florida, Judge Cannon fired a nuclear cannon from space at Jack Smith and just like bodied the entire case.
In fact, she's going to hold a hearing on whether Jack Smith is actually a legal special counsel.
So she delayed indefinitely this week the entire case of the documents.
So that means like 2030, probably, this thing goes to trial.
It'll never go to trial.
Jack Smith in total panic now.
In Fulton County, moving on up.
So let's cross the Florida-Georgia line.
Fulton County, big Fannie Willis, got the spanking of a lifetime as she heads into the discipline room at the appeals court.
Now, this appeals court...
Is not staffed with a bunch of judges that donated to her or worked for her campaign.
Much like the judge overseeing this case.
How that's allowed?
I don't know.
Also, Big Fannie is now under investigation via the Georgia Senate.
Also, there's a brand new board that has been selected by the governor who just signed a bunch of election integrity laws.
I don't really like Brian Kemp, but like, give him credit where credit's due.
Okay?
Move as slow as molasses?
Maybe that's what happens with these good old Southern boys.
I'm not sure.
But Brian Kemp had a great week.
Brian Kemp has a new board to look into prosecutors who overstep their bounds.
And they are now looking into Fannie Willis.
Fannie, it's collapsing.
Collapsing in real time.
And Fannie Willis is like going on national TV screaming about how daddy needs to come in and fix things.
What?
We'll play you the clip in just a second.
Moving on to New York.
Obviously, you have Judge Arthur.
Judge Arthur is the guy who said, Donald Trump, he...
Defrauded the taxpayers by doing exactly what every real estate person does since the end of time with his buildings.
Now, he is under major scrutiny with the state looking at the fact that he was sharing with and dealing with specific Trump-hating lawyers to try to come up with this ruling.
Of course, you had the Supreme Court ruling on immunity and hearing on immunity down in D.C. And now we move to the New York hush money trial.
With Donald Trump.
unidentified
Ooh, baby, this ain't going great.
benny johnson
Ah, this is one that hurts, okay?
So they really thought that they would be able to call Donald Trump a felon.
They really thought, the whole point of this is obviously to keep Donald Trump off the campaign trail and to smear him, okay?
To smear him.
Even though, look, all of the allegations against Trump is like nothing compared to like any Piece of data you see from the Hunter Biden laptop.
Or any story about Joe Biden.
Remember, the Joe Biden-Jill love story, right?
How they cheated on each other with married people.
Jill was the babysitter.
How Jill Biden has been a wretched stepmother to Hunter Biden.
How Jill Biden's failures, how they won't even accept the fact that they have seven grandkids.
You remember that?
Remember how Joe Biden abuses his dogs?
Ashley Biden's diary?
Shower time with Detney?
None of that stuff.
We're not going to hear any of that stuff.
Funny how, like, we're hearing all these salacious details about Donald Trump, but we hear nothing about Bill Clinton on Jeffrey Epstein's plane.
Isn't that weird?
Isn't that somehow, isn't that, like, worse?
Right?
Like, yeah?
No matter what you believe about these stupid details that they bring up in court?
Yeah, no hearings on Bill Clinton literally flying down.
To a predator island staffed with little girls, which is true.
Read the documents.
Read the court documents.
Believe all women.
Okay.
All believe the victims of Jeffrey Epstein in their court documents.
Go read it.
We have the documents.
So no hearings on that.
No hearings on that.
Here's just a bunch of bubblegum garbage that happened in 2005 that happened 20 years ago.
For a payment that was made in 2017, when Donald Trump was already president.
So how the hell will that timeline work out?
In the backdrop of Hillary Clinton, facing massive $100,000 penalties for doing far worse with the PP dossier.
I digress.
I digress.
Just doing a quick download here, okay?
From the week.
Here we go.
Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump at the courthouse seconds ago, as is our tradition.
We let the president speak on this show, and then we're going to let Donald Trump's...
Spokesperson and attorney Alina Habba speak, and she'll be joining the program in just a moment.
Okay, here we go.
Donald Trump talking at the courthouse moments ago.
Let's give the president a platform.
unidentified
Are you going to testify?
So thank you very much, Han.
donald j trump
Saturday, we have a tremendous rally, and I hope you're all going to be there.
It's in Wildwood, New Jersey.
There's going to be a big crowd, and we're going to be saying a lot.
We'll be able to campaign on Saturday.
unidentified
And nevertheless, we have a horrible gag order.
donald j trump
And it shouldn't be allowed.
It's never been on.
Nothing like this has ever happened.
What you're witnessing is a first.
I have some articles that came out this morning.
Jonathan Turley, the predominant question.
In the Manhattan hush money trial of former President Donald Trump is not one of guilt, but something far more basic.
Is the District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case a joke?
Is it a prank?
Is it a farce?
On Thursday, the answers became clear.
It's all of the above, but it's also an abominable abuse of our justice system and a wretched assault on the rule of law.
It's Jonathan Turley.
And it just goes on and finishes, although it's a long story that's brutal about this case.
unidentified
This case is highly unconstitutional.
donald j trump
It's presided over by a very conflicted judge.
Conflicted like I've never seen before.
He refuses to take himself off the case and it should be a mistrial.
benny johnson
It should be a mistrial.
That's what the team Trump is pushing for right now.
They're pushing for a mistrial, obviously, because of the unbelievable witch-like testimony of Stormy Daniel.
Witch trial, okay?
So it's a witch hunt.
Witch hunt.
Witch trial.
We've been calling it Solemnist, but the president says it's a witch hunt.
So what would be, what would, what's the definition of a witch?
What's the definition of a witch?
Well, dark arts, speaking with the dead.
Demonic spirits and stuff like that, right?
She's a witch!
unidentified
She's a witch!
benny johnson
What's the definition of witch?
All right.
So, you know, Donald Trump's been calling them witch huts for years.
Do we actually have a witch?
There is this shocking clip that's going viral, more viral than anything else from yesterday, of what looks like Simon and Garfunkel outside of the court on MSNBC.
Talking about how Stormy Daniels speaks to the spirits, speaks to the dead.
Is like interacting with presumably pentagrams, like satanic rituals and stuff.
And how her boyfriend was possessed by demonic spirits.
Oh, okay.
So what you mean by a witch hunt is like literal witches?
Here we go.
lisa rubin
Stormy Daniels, now.
Claims that she is a medium and that she communicates with dead people and has participated in a TV series about the paranormal where she explores things, including the fact that at one point an ex-boyfriend of hers was inhabited by spirits.
She was mocking Stormy Daniels.
She wants the jury to think Stormy Daniels is a liar and she is crazy.
And she also wants the jurors to judge her for her occupation.
And Stormy Daniels gave no ground on that.
As Sue just said, she might be an exotic dancer, an adult film actor, but she was very clear.
When Susan Necklace used the phrase selling yourself to describe what Stormy Daniels was doing on a tour where she was making appearances at clubs, Stormy Daniels set her straight.
I was not selling myself.
I was dancing.
The implication always was I am not a sex worker and I don't have a sign around my neck that says consent given freely to everyone at any time.
unidentified
Oh!
benny johnson
Did we find the witch?
Oh, no.
Stormy Daniels claims she's been attacked by spirits, but it was just a possum?
unidentified
Huh?
benny johnson
Hold up.
There's more to this?
So Stormy Daniels speaking with dark spirits.
If you watch this show a lot, you know that we...
I know these things to be true.
We don't believe in them.
We know them to be true, right?
We are physical beings, but there is spiritual energy everywhere.
We live in a state of heightened spiritual energy.
So who are the baddies?
Who are the bad guys?
Well, probably the people who have demonic possession, right?
Right.
unidentified
Daniels also admitted, as you mentioned, to claiming she can speak to dead people and previously claiming that her home in New Orleans was haunted and that spirits attacked her.
As you mentioned, turned out it was just a possum.
Now tonight she's speaking directly to Trump, posting on XQuote, Real men respond to testimony by being sworn in and taking the stand in court.
Oh wait.
Never mind.
Trump maintains that he wants to testify.
What he can't do is talk about Daniels or any witness publicly.
And tonight, Judge Juan Mershon denied Trump's request to amend the court's gag order so that he can do exactly that and speak about Daniels publicly.
benny johnson
Wait a second.
So, hold up.
This woman, and this was news to me when I saw this clip, this woman is saying that she is possessed by spirits.
And the people around her are possessed by spirits.
Anybody read the New Testament?
Anybody read, like, the Bible ever?
It's demonic possession.
And when you're talking about a witch hunt, again, I think you found your witch.
Now, obviously, I think that this kind of stuff is super creepy.
I have regularly and often said that I think that there is a guiding hand.
On Trump, and that's the only way you can describe this, the guy getting younger after all he's been through, like whatever, you can describe it as providential.
I think you're just going to have to at this point.
You know, there's a work going on in Donald Trump.
I truly believe that.
And we'll have to see.
We'll have to see what God has in store.
unidentified
Okay?
benny johnson
We're just going to see.
Okay?
But I think there's a really good, solid argument to be made.
That he is fighting true, real, the blackness of evil.
Like the true heart of darkness.
The banality of evil.
And when you hear them actually speak, when you hear like evil speak, you can tell.
Recordings of Stormy Daniel were played in the court yesterday.
Stormy Daniel is like screaming at Michael Avenatti.
And like, Michael Avenatti weirdly has come to Donald Trump's defense.
He's in prison right now.
But he's like, he has access to X. And so he's able to tweet.
He's coming to...
Trump's defense being like, this woman is evil.
How crazy is that?
I mean, take a step back for just a quick second and say, like, who's Trump fighting here?
This is a real story, all right?
Maybe we can pull up the article.
This is a real story.
We don't talk about it enough.
We're just going to talk about it really quickly.
The nature of Hunter Biden, the nature of the Bidens, okay?
Like, the actual nature of these people.
Hunter Biden joined a demonic sex club in L.A. There's a full article about this in the Daily Mail.
All right?
It sounds made up, but it's real.
There's a demonic sex club in LA.
Pentagrams everywhere, satanic ritual stuff.
Okay?
Totally real.
There's images of it.
They're proud of it.
The guy who started the demonic sex club, the founder of it, Hunter Biden bought a membership there.
Okay?
Can't describe what that membership gets you, but let's just say this.
Hunter Biden had one day at that club, and he was kicked out, had to be forcibly removed, And the demonic sex club Satanist owner said Hunter Biden's a bad person.
He was behaving so badly, we couldn't allow him in our sex club.
That's how bad of a person he is.
Those people didn't want him.
So what kind of demons are you actually fighting here, exactly?
Huh?
Like, it really begs the question.
When you realize all the battles are spiritual, everything starts kind of like...
unidentified
Ah!
benny johnson
Locking into place.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
So they played the phone calls.
Do you have it?
Do you have that?
Oh, man.
unidentified
All right.
benny johnson
Why not?
Put it up.
We haven't talked about this enough.
Let me talk about this enough.
Can you scroll through it?
So the demonic sex club, Hunter was kicked out of this sex club by this guy.
This is the guy right there.
You see this guy right there.
Okay, keep going.
Everything's PG-13, the imagery.
Oh, okay.
This is the sex club that said Hunter Biden is too depraved even for us.
Keep going.
unidentified
Keep going.
benny johnson
Yeah, okay, that's the bottom.
All right, all right, all right.
We'll find the other article.
There's like all this horrible demonic imagery anyway.
These people are saying the Bidens are too evil for us.
That's the owner.
That's the guy.
Okay?
Hunter Biden.
Like, it's too evil for me.
So when you hear them bringing people on who are possessed by spirits into the courthouse to testify against Donald Trump, which side are you on exactly?
Like, when they're using people who are possessed by evil spirits who admit it and they're testifying against Trump, are we the baddies?
The age-old question, ladies and gentlemen.
Even Michael Avenatti couldn't handle being in league.
Stormy Daniels was too, like, depraved for Michael Avenatti, biggest scumbag ever.
Here's what happened yesterday in the court.
unidentified
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he comes out and says, you know what?
Stormy Daniels, she wanted this money more than you can ever imagine.
I remember hearing her on the phone saying, you f***ing Keith Davidson, you better settle this f***ing story because if he loses this election, and he's going to lose, if he loses this election, we lose all f***ing leverage.
This case is worth zero.
laura ingraham
Leverage!
Well, when pressed about this today, Daniel's denied ever saying that to Davidson.
Why would I say that?
benny johnson
Oh, weird.
Okay.
So they're, like, you know, lying liars who lie.
Got it.
All right.
This is why they need Trump gagged.
This is why they can't have Donald Trump.
This is why we're having, in minutes, Donald Trump's attorney joins the program.
This is why they need Trump gagged.
This is why they can't have Donald Trump speak for himself.
Alina Hobbes has been in the courtroom.
We're going to ask her what it's like inside the courthouse.
All right?
Donald Trump does get a chance to speak.
He spoke yesterday.
Of course, we weren't live during that program.
We have an important short clip from what Donald Trump's asking for now.
He's asking for a total mistrial.
Donald Trump's saying everything's been so completely, this is such a tire fire, you gotta mistrial this thing.
Now they've now nuked all of the little TikToks that Michael Cohen's been doing.
They have canceled.
Performance on the stand of Karen McDougal, some other, like, Playboy Bunny thing, right, that was also paid.
They're now, like, canceling witnesses.
Things are going south, and things are going south quickly.
Donald Trump's saying, now you must throw the whole thing out.
Watch.
donald j trump
Everybody saw what happened today.
I don't think we have to do any explaining.
I'm not allowed to anyway, because this judge is corrupt.
He's a corrupt judge.
This judge, what he did, and what his ruling was, is a disgrace.
Everybody saw what happened today.
He's a corrupt judge, and he's totally conflicted.
And I gotta get back on the campaign trail.
I'm not supposed to be here.
We are so innocent.
There's never been anything like it.
Read every single analyst, legal analyst.
I'm innocent and I'm being held in this court with a corrupt judge who's totally conflicted.
Take a look at his conflict.
It's a disgrace to the city of New York, to the state of New York, and to the country.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
benny johnson
Boom, I love that energy from Trump.
Come on, it's a disgrace.
I love the energy from Trump.
I love it.
I love it.
So we got this timeline situation that's a real problem for them.
Because...
The check was set in 2007.
The alleged interactions between the two of them, which is simply a nuisance claim.
We've covered this before.
It's a nuisance claim.
Celebrities get these all the time.
People lie all the time.
Stormy Annals are going to be caught in like 20 different lies here.
This happened in 2005.
How did that affect an election in 2016?
And how did Donald Trump, making a payment, how did Trump's team, Trump didn't pay anyone, How did Michael Cohen paying somebody in 2017 matter?
How did that happen?
How did that affect an election that has already happened?
Because the payment was made in 2017!
But the election already happened!
Somebody's going to invent a flux capacitor to make all of this work.
Jonathan Turley talking about it.
unidentified
And keep in mind that today's testimony also revealed for the jury another interesting contradiction.
You have all of this discussion of his signing the checks in the White House.
So it really sort of drove home this theory that he somehow falsely denoted the payments after the election to influence the election.
So the election was already over.
He already won.
And he classified them as legal expenses.
And somehow retroactively, that was stealing the election.
It's that convoluted.
benny johnson
It's insane.
It's insane.
The more you look at it, the more insane it all gets.
It's crazy.
And it's right for people to start calling it out.
It's right for people to start, like, doing shows like that.
I have some interesting footage for you from last night.
Somebody who you are very familiar with, the executive producer of this program, the great ALX, has been making some news.
Ooh, baby, we got some special things to talk about.
This program has been actually literally affecting the outcome of this trial.
We can prove it, okay?
We can prove it.
First off, our reporting...
On the, like, non-credibility of all these witnesses has made its way across the pond.
One of our favorite guests, Mike Davis, went on BBC yesterday.
And it's the right way to say this.
Mike Davis is a redhead.
Mike Davis has a flamethrower.
That's a lot of heat.
And he brought the heat to the BBC yesterday.
Oh, man.
This is so, this is such an incredible clip.
Here's just part of it.
Mike Davis doing what everyone should be doing.
Every person should be treating this with the absurdity and stupidity of the moment.
Mike Davis, rising to the moment, flamethrower.
unidentified
...weeks ago, clearly there is an illegal unconstitutional gag order here.
Why do you think that's true?
Do you think any defendant should be able to speak out about the judge?
mike davis
Yeah.
In the United States of America, we have something called the Constitution.
And we have the First Amendment and the Sixth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment.
And if there's anyone on the planet who should have the constitutional right to speak out against the judge, the prosecutor, their stabs, the witnesses, their biases, the process, it is a criminal defendant going through the criminal process.
You don't gag criminal defendants in America.
I don't know what you guys do in the United Kingdom, but in America, we have constitutional rights, and they've turned the Constitution on its head by gagging a criminal defendants, while this judge, whose adult daughter, Lauren Michonne, is raising millions of dollars off of this case, requiring her recusal under New York statute as allowing Stormy Daniels...
And Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, a porn star who's raising money off this trial on her Twitter profile, on her pen tweet on Twitter, on X. And you have Michael Cohen, who's a disbarred attorney and a convicted perjurer raising money on TikTok.
unidentified
And now you just had this bimbo porn star say that President Trump- I think calling a bimbo porn star is pretty offensive.
benny johnson
What?
Offensive.
You're the one platforming them!
You're the one platforming them!
Now, Mike Davis, dear friend of the show, we'll make sure that he's booked next week.
We just don't have time today, ladies and gentlemen.
We won't give enough time to Alina Haba.
But he was in England, and England had the old Knights of the Roundtable, so maybe that's what Michael Cohen was doing here in this TikTok.
Maybe this is what Michael Cohen was going for.
He's going for the BBC vote.
Here.
This is the lawyer.
This is the lawyer right here that is supposed to be the star witness.
Here it is.
On TikTok, raising money.
This is a literal screenshot of this stuff.
He does these lives, so it's kind of hard to capture them.
But here he is, ladies and gentlemen.
Maybe in merry old England, they can explain to me what the hell he's doing.
Maybe he plans to go.
Maybe he plans to, like, move there as he has disgraced himself.
perjurer and was referred to the DOJ for criminal prosecution just yesterday.
Okay.
So, again, which side are you on?
Here, exactly.
So, this is, much of this reporting has been done by the great ALX on this program.
Much of the reporting on what a scumbag, watching this guy's TikTok.
ALX is the guy who's done this, and now he's getting, obviously, we've been talking about it nonstop on this program.
But lo and behold, we're getting some results.
We tell you, watch out.
This program's coming for you, baby.
We work hard than anybody else.
We have a better research team, better production team than anybody else.
And it looks like ALX is getting the credit that he finally deserves.
Check out Sean Hannity from last night.
sean hannity
Now, during the trial, Cole has been spending hours live streaming on TikTok, soliciting gifts from his very huge fan base.
Pretty pathetic.
Now, recently he wore a shirt depicting Donald Trump behind bars, and we're all supposed to believe that Michael Cohen has no ulterior motive in this case.
And yet, thanks to a Biden donor masquerading as a judge whose family may be compromised, who should have recused himself, well, Michael Cohen can pretty much say and do whatever he wants.
Trump can say nothing.
benny johnson
Oh, interesting.
What do you know?
It's our program.
It's our team muscling in and making national, international news.
Baby, you are part of a merry band of warriors here.
And we got the results.
Turns out that after ALX is reporting and coverage of this and our collective coverage of it, because they're watching the record viewers, they're watching the record concurrence on this show.
They're watching how we're beating all of the corporate media on this program.
They're seeing it.
They're terrified of it.
They're seeing that you, me, all of us together in a movement, Happy Warriors marching together.
They're seeing that, and that's actually having a real-world effect.
I want you to pat yourself on the back right now.
Pat yourself on the back because we have actually stopped Michael Cohen from doing these stupid TikToks.
They're now running scared because of programs like ours.
Check this out.
unidentified
I just wanted to ask you, I'm 100% with you.
I can't wait till you get on the stand, do you think?
benny johnson
We don't talk about that, though.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
All right.
benny johnson
I know.
unidentified
I don't want to get anything in trouble.
That's what I wanted to say.
benny johnson
Oh, okay.
Suddenly, Michael Cohen has been humiliated enough and has been reported on enough from our program that he's stopped doing these little TikToks.
Suddenly, he's singing a very, very different tune.
And it turns out that CNN, MSNBC...
Like, because we are able to expose the fraudulence of all this together, they're now covering it quite differently.
We've been playing you the amazing clips this week of CNN, MSNBC being like, this thing is a dumpster fire.
Talking about a great deal of our reporting.
They will never give us credit.
We don't care.
That's the point of all of this.
We are here to get the information out.
Oh man, it's getting heated on CNN.
The dumpster fire over there.
arthur aidala
George, at the end of the day, an experienced lawyer of your magnitude, you know what you would say?
If you were trying this case, you know what you would say to the jury?
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you're one of the luckiest juries around, because you got to meet.
Mr. Reasonable Doubt.
You saw him walking here.
You saw him take this stand.
If there's any human being on the planet Earth, that should be, his picture should be next to the definition, reasonable doubt, it's Michael Cohen.
unidentified
And if you have reasonable Cohen, you can cross-examine Michael Cohen.
arthur aidala
His history of being a liar, of being a fraud, he just got in trouble.
As opposed to the defendant?
The defendant's credibility, unless he takes the stand, is not on trial.
benny johnson
It is, because he's been saying all...
All sorts of stuff.
unidentified
No, no, no.
They've been showing him lying and lying and lying and lying and lying.
No, no, no.
But listen.
arthur aidala
No, no, no.
It is all about Michael Cohen just asked me a question.
Why?
Within two months ago, he got in trouble, Michael Cohen, for submitting fake cases to a judge when he asked his probation.
He lied to a federal judge two months ago.
unidentified
That was something that he lied about that has something to do with what he's saying.
arthur aidala
It all goes to credibility.
They're going to destroy his credibility.
benny johnson
They're not going to destroy his credibility.
arthur aidala
He's in Otisville.
The guy spent Christmas in Otisville.
Everyone should know that's a prison.
benny johnson
Uh, okay.
The guy spent Christmas in a prison.
Now they're fighting about it on CNN?
Let him.
Fight.
Ooh, come on, baby.
Let them fight.
Look at this.
Donald Trump going on offense.
No gag order against George Conway.
Here's what Trump posted yesterday.
This is, of course, the, uh, I think they're divorced now, but the husband of Kellyanne Conway.
You see here, here's what Trump puts up on Truth Social.
Here's George Conway.
Uh, it's George Conway at Trump's election night party crying.
He's sobbing.
Can we zoom a little bit?
He's sobbing.
Oh, we need the actual image.
That's okay.
There you go.
You can see George Conway has tears in his eyes.
Tears in his eyes.
Trump trolling.
I love this energy back, baby.
I love the energy back.
Now, it's one thing to take over CNN.
It's a totally different thing to take over MSNBC.
Here we go.
We got the clip.
Salt that lib.
Get your salt shakers out.
unidentified
Here we go.
benny johnson
We're going to do salt that lib.
Get our salt shakers out.
This one's amazing.
MSNBC admitting it's all failed.
Don't miss the moment.
MSNBC admitting that it's all failed.
It's all gone.
That the plan has gone bust from yesterday.
Here's our salt that limb.
You get the salt shakers flowing, and then we're going to get Alina Hob on here, Trump's lawyer and spokesperson, and it's going to get very, very salty.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's our salt that lived.
Give me that sodium in the comment section.
The cavalry's not coming.
We're doomed, says MSNBC.
Through the tears.
unidentified
Let's go.
you you This case is now delayed severely.
Delay, delay, delay.
In Florida, delayed indefinitely.
Now Georgia.
It has been a rough few days for Jack Smith and Fonny Willis.
Mark, do you think we are going to see any progress here before the election and after the election?
Do you think these trials are ever going to happen?
benny johnson
Well, I don't know.
But, I mean, the key question is, is anything going to happen before the election?
And I think the answer is no.
unidentified
The days of magical legal thinking are over.
The cavalry is not coming.
The legal cavalry is not coming to the rescue of Joe Biden, which I think is good.
I think voters should focus on the election.
The way to beat Donald Trump is not in court ultimately, but at the ballot.
benny johnson
Oh, man, take off your stupid hat and cry into it, you goof.
Why do you keep wearing that hat?
What's up with you and that hat?
Whatever that guy's name is.
Why do you wear that stupid hat?
The 10-gallon hat there to cry your 10 gallons of liberal tears into.
Oh, the salt.
It flows.
The salt.
It flows, baby.
It is pouring.
Oh, man.

We got him!
The great, we got, ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
The great spokesperson and lawyer for Donald Trump, Alina Hava, joins the program now.
you you you Somebody who needs precisely zero introduction on our program, Alina Haba, Donald Trump's attorney and spokesperson joining the program.
What a week for the president.
This is like a triple crown kind of stuff.
It is amazing.
Everything is collapsing in real time.
Congratulations.
alina habba
I don't think I can take all the credit, but thank you.
I'll take it on behalf of all the legal team.
Yeah, no, it's been a really strong week for us.
I mean, between the decision on Judge Cannon delaying the trial, obviously, and getting, more importantly, finding out what we did, which was that they were really sloppy with evidence there.
Jack Smith's team was changing things, moving things, covers of classified documents didn't match the actual documents.
Then there was really good days in the Hush Money case, which I cannot speak as much to because it's a pending trial.
But I think the news has spoken for itself.
You know, the people they select to use to probe President Trump, the first president to ever be criminally tried by a state like this.
Says it all, in my opinion.
And then, you know, we just keep hitting them one after another.
We'll get there.
Like I always say, we'll get there.
And then don't forget judging Gorin, my favorite from the AG case, who was allegedly speaking to an attorney about what he was going to put in his decision weeks before he made his decision on the attorney general case, which is completely improper.
benny johnson
Yeah, along with Fannie Willis now, the appeals court accepted that.
And Fannie Willis being now investigated and going after the state of Florida now.
I'm sorry, the state of Georgia now going after Fannie.
And the DOJ.
alina habba
I think the DOJ is doing an investigation because it's federal funds as well.
benny johnson
So this has been, again, a really, really exciting week.
It must be hard, actually, in the midst of all of this to keep up the esprit de corps, but you did, and you've always been on the show, very optimistic.
You've always been fighting, and now, again, it seems like in real time, all four of these cases are just at an extreme collapse.
We didn't even mention the Supreme Court hearing on presidential immunity, and that, of course, went very well in your favor, at least it sounded like, from the court.
alina habba
Yeah, we'll hear what happens there.
I think it's pretty straightforward, and I think that everybody needs to remember that one specifically is about all presidents.
And actually, I think all of these cases are.
Do we want an America where you sit in office, you do your job, you take care of the American people, and then you're criticized and ridiculed and persecuted after you leave?
That's not good for anybody.
That would really discourage anybody from being in politics.
I know it discourages me from ever even thinking about it, looking at what's going on.
It's sad, and it's not supposed to be.
benny johnson
So it does seem, however, that the tables are sort of writing and that the energy has shifted now in your favor.
I want to start in New York because that's the trial, of course, that's ongoing.
This is a trial that you have obviously been up to New York.
Have you been in the courtroom?
alina habba
All week, yeah.
benny johnson
Yeah, okay.
So this is something that I really wanted to get sort of your response on because they seem to be now stopping Michael Cohen.
From doing his TikTok lives, they're not going to call Karen McDougal, Stormy Daniels, from every single conceivable takeaway, CNN, to MSNBC, to the experts on Fox News.
Everyone's like, this is a nightmare.
I mean, you were inside the courthouse.
Was it a nightmare?
alina habba
I think it's just obvious that this really is not about books and records.
And like everything else, when you start actually having to prove your case and the American people are waiting for months and they're hearing all these press conferences about DAs and AGs making it sound like there were real crimes.
Well, when you get in a courtroom and you have to listen to everybody speaking and you have to look at the evidence and there is none, it speaks for itself.
So what they're doing is distracting with a lot of With a lot of salacious fluff, just to have a smear campaign, in my opinion, and in most Americans' opinions that are watching.
And I think that's true of the left and the right.
I think everybody's seeing this.
Let's talk about what else happens when they do this.
They stop New York.
There are so many police officers brought into New York sitting there.
Focused on this trial, focused on the surrounding areas, while New York is truly falling apart.
And the people that are pulling these attorneys are the same ones that are supposed to be taking care of the New York public, citizens, and constituents.
And instead, they're pulling them all to go to this show trial, this Biden show trial, that has all been coordinated from the top.
And it's not my opinion.
If you look at the White House logs, it speaks for itself.
They've all visited before they've filed the complaint.
Continuously visited and coordinated.
So I think the American people are seeing this really isn't about books and records.
It's about trying to keep him in that courtroom in New York.
It's about salacious information and trying to make this sound like something it's not.
And it's like reading the National Enquirer.
It's terrible.
I mean, except this is supposed to be a courtroom and it's not being perceived that way at this moment.
benny johnson
We've done some deep dives on what Stalin did when he illegitimately took control of the Soviet Union and how he immediately started to do show trials.
And Stalin's show trials are things of legend, right?
They study them in history books.
And he rigged the judges, he rigged the juries, and he put every single political enemy, not a specific group, not...
The hoi polloi, he went after his political enemies first, and he shoved them into courthouses and courtrooms, and he banished them, or worse.
Do you think this is Stalinist tactics?
I mean, would you call this Stalinist?
alina habba
Yes.
Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, I mean, look at some of the people that have been selected.
So, you know, that's exactly what they do.
It's the equivalent of, you know, if...
President Trump had brought his private attorneys in and they're supposed to now go and persecute and prosecute from the DOJ.
DOJ or the FBI or DAs and AGs, the outrage would be screamed from the top of their liberal mouths, but we're supposed to sit here and act like it's not happening.
And then when we do actually act like it's happening, they gag us and they say, you can't talk about it.
You can't talk about it.
Anyone in your control can't talk about it.
We don't want you to bring up the unsavory facts.
We don't want to bring up the fact that the judge here should absolutely have recused himself because of his affiliations.
I'm not allowed to speak about that.
That is third world stuff.
That is, you know, dictator level.
benny johnson
Stalinist.
alina habba
Yeah, it is.
And just because the man eats ice cream and can't walk, don't think that he's not acting like a dictator, you know?
benny johnson
Yes, that's right.
In fact, it's those people with the collapsed brain stems that really act the most like dictators because they're losing it.
alina habba
Well, they have henchmen.
They have henchmen.
benny johnson
They go crazy.
So you've been inside of this court.
You brought up the judge here.
As far as I know, you're not under any gag order.
And so can you describe like how the judge has been behaving inside of the courthouse?
alina habba
Well, the judge is, you know.
Clearly trying to appear, and this is the thing that you always see, they try and appear like they're impartial for the record, but it always seeps out in the decision.
So then they'll come out and they'll ridicule the team or they'll put down one set of lawyers, but not the other.
And they do this on purpose.
Number one, there's press.
Every single thing that you're sitting in there has shown that there's Press and that that is what they play to.
That's not what judges are supposed to do.
Then there's the jury.
When the jury's in there, you really are supposed to act like an impartial judge who's just deciding what evidence comes in and out.
Well, the only problem with that is when you're not impartial to start with and you shouldn't have been sitting there, your biases come out.
And I've definitely seen that.
He's not, you know, it always comes out.
It always shows.
It has a million times.
benny johnson
So some who are in the courthouse say that even the judge was repulsed by Stormy Daniels' testimony and was quite shocked about it, repudiated a little bit, and was like, what the hell is this porn star doing in my court?
We're going to run an esteemed court.
We're going to run a true by-the-books trial here.
Now, please, our porn star witness first.
What was that dynamic like?
alina habba
Well, although, you know, we do have a gag and I do have my ethics, so I have to be very careful about that.
But I can say that, you know, there were times that he tried to create guardrails for the prosecution and said this was out of that realm.
But they blew through those.
They took a bulldozer and literally drove it through.
They didn't care.
And the problem with that is, and it's a tactic, honestly, it's a tactic I'm watching and seeing them do.
You know, you get it out and the judge will say, oh, it's sustained or disregard, you know, strike that, disregard that jury.
You didn't hear what you just heard.
Well, you can't unring bells.
And that's the truth about courts.
You can't.
You can pretend that that's what's going to happen.
You can do it for the record.
You can give a limiting instruction at the end saying you are not to have considered anything that I struck.
But everyone knows once you say it, once they hear it.
It's out.
And we're human beings.
We can't unhear those things.
So I think they're doing it on purpose.
I think it's disrespectful.
I think it's unethical.
And it's really, frankly, grounds for a mistrial.
benny johnson
So is that what you believe is going to happen here?
There are many people who obviously don't like Trump on CNN and MSNBC saying this is going to be a mistrial.
alina habba
Yeah, I think so.
I think eventually, yes.
I don't know that this judge will grant the mistrial, but for sure on appeal.
benny johnson
Okay.
alina habba
A lot of fatal errors here.
benny johnson
Hung jury?
Have you seen the jurors?
alina habba
I don't.
You know, I've learned a long time ago.
I am not a rookie lawyer.
Sorry, liberal media.
But I have learned a really long time ago that you cannot read a jury.
You cannot.
You can think you can.
You can look at them.
You can say this and that.
You can't.
What I do tell you is they picked a Manhattan jury.
That was not by accident.
benny johnson
Stalinist.
We can say it.
You don't have to say it.
We can say it.
We've been saying it for weeks.
It's Stalinist.
You need to say it.
It's not Biden trials.
These are Stalin-level Soviet Union purge trials.
And that's the way that we see it.
There are people, though, who can, I guess, see into different dimensions or see into the spiritual realm or perhaps be possessed by the spiritual realm.
This came out on MSNBC about the star witness for the prosecution here.
lisa rubin
Claims that she is a medium and that she communicates with dead people and has participated in a TV series about the paranormal where she explores things, including the fact that at one point an ex-boyfriend of hers was inhabited by spirits.
benny johnson
So people who believe in God and people who read the Bible would say inhabited by spirits.
That sounds like demonic possession, actually.
Any comment on that, Alina?
alina habba
I'm not going to comment on her testimony.
It speaks for itself.
unidentified
Okay.
alina habba
And I also believe in God.
benny johnson
Yeah, that's right.
Okay.
So, all right.
I did have a personal question.
I know that this is something that does interest the audience, mainly because it was written up.
And I want to know, and I don't know the answer to this, but I do want to know, did you wear your FJB necklace to the, because here's the photo of you with the MAGA clutch and the FJB necklace here in the New York Post.
Did you wear this to the courthouse?
Oh, yeah.
alina habba
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
benny johnson
Were you, the New York Post did a big spread, also the Daily Mail, on your FJB necklace here and your MAGA clutch.
So I'm wondering, was this the fit that you had on at the court?
alina habba
No, I will, though, consider it for when we have some other fun witnesses coming up.
I have no problem considering that outfit.
No, I have not, unfortunately, worn that.
But I do have a couple more gems.
I'm going to have to think about whipping them out, for sure.
For sure.
All right.
That was off my work time for the record.
I am a human being.
benny johnson
We had to ask.
Okay, got this great.
You got this great photobomb with you and the president, Dana White and Kid Rock.
alina habba
Actually, Kid jumped in front of me and I was like, Bob, you're blocking me.
He's a friend.
He's the best.
Him and his hat.
I'm like, Bob, really?
benny johnson
Come on!
Did he see your FJB necklace?
Did he compliment it?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
alina habba
Actually, the president saw it when he came in in the back and there's a room that we all, that was that room.
And he saw it and he looks at it and he goes, ha!
unidentified
I think I even surprised him that I would wear that.
alina habba
Honestly, I tone it down, just for the record, because I get photographed so much.
I'm careful.
That was toned down.
benny johnson
I mean, the sleuths here at the New York Post were like, hold up, hold up, wait a second, zoom, enhance, enhance, enhance, FJP!
alina habba
I know.
I mean, they should see some of the t-shirts I have.
They're pretty funny.
unidentified
I'm wearing them under my suit court.
alina habba
Yeah.
benny johnson
So Trump, so Trump night liked the necklace.
I have a feeling that Fannie Willis wouldn't like the necklace.
Fannie Willis this week was saying that she's gonna depend on daddy to win the case against Trump.
unidentified
Interesting when we got a bunch of African American DAs.
Now we need daddy to tell us what to do.
They can keep looking.
I'm not interested in them looking.
They can look.
I'm sorry they pissed off.
Justice is now actually blind.
Lady Justice is blind.
Everybody can get it.
benny johnson
So, everybody can get it.
These are the words.
I mean, write it in stone, right?
Carve it in a marble.
Put it above most courthouses, right?
Like, these are the new prophetic words of the smartest legal minds.
alina habba
But no one is above the law as their favorite.
Except them.
Except them.
benny johnson
Yep.
And everybody can get it.
alina habba
And why is race a factor?
Because I'm missing this.
I don't understand why their goal in this country is to be divisive.
We were never like that.
I didn't vote for Obama.
But guess what?
When he was president, I was not a savage.
I wasn't talking about race.
I was not talking about making it us against them.
What are we doing?
I mean, this is so toxic.
This behavior and the, frankly, the lack of ethics.
What are you talking about?
She's not a spokesperson.
I'm a spokesperson.
She's not a spokesperson.
She is sitting here prosecuting a former and future president.
And she is now introducing daddy.
And who speaks like that?
I mean, shame on you.
Truly shame on you.
Shame on you.
Because I do a lot of talking and I don't.
I don't I don't try and be divisive about race.
I don't talk about people's children.
I don't do.
There are rules.
There are boundaries.
And our country has literally forgotten them.
benny johnson
So Steve stayed out posting this morning about the appeals process talking about this and saying that this has been racialized and that they have been they have been cast.
The Trump team have been cast as racist by the D.A. And this is this is one of the many grounds for appeal.
And he's going in hard on this, obviously.
And the appeals court took this up.
We learned that 24 hours ago.
Your thoughts on that process?
alina habba
I think it's fantastic.
I agree with everything Seda was saying.
He's one of our attorneys.
He's doing a great job.
But, I mean, it's exactly what I said.
To be honest, I wasn't aware of that statement this morning.
I will say I'm glad the appellate division is going to look at this.
In Georgia, you have to be granted that right to do that.
And he did get that granted, which is another win for Team Trump.
But I will say this is unbelievable.
I mean, also, let's talk about one other thing.
These comments are made to the public, much like Letitia did in the AG case.
And then we're left with gags.
We're left careful of our words.
Constantly trying to do a dance.
But they can say whatever they want.
They can call us racist.
They can call us whatever you want.
This is all really, truly about one thing.
That's the campaign.
And that's 2024.
This has nothing to do with law.
You've heard her.
Did she mention anything about the case?
Did she mention anything about the facts?
Anything about the rules?
Anything about what was actually done?
No, she can't.
It's all propaganda.
And it's wrong.
It's wrong.
benny johnson
I mean, off the top of our head, we were broadcasting live like 12 straight hours with a Fannie Willis courtroom Judge Judy level drama.
But off the top of our head, I mean, she admits to campaign finance violations.
She lied to the court at least four times that we can count.
She lied against the Secret Service.
The Secret Service pits her at the White House.
She said she never visited the White House.
And then, of course, she behaves totally unethically before the court with all of her filings, right?
She clearly, admittedly lied.
So my question to you is this, like, how do you un-pee in the pool, right?
Like, so if the pool is contaminated, the judge says the pool is contaminated, how do you...
How do you, you have to drain the pool, right?
Like, how do you get rid of it?
It needs to be over.
alina habba
It needs to be over.
It's over.
It's just like Jack Smith.
You did too much.
You did it too fast.
You were blinded by your animus.
And now the cases are falling apart.
benny johnson
So you believe that it would be right?
I mean, I still can't.
alina habba
They have to dismiss it.
This case should be dropped.
This case should be dropped.
benny johnson
In Fulton?
Yeah.
alina habba
It's a joke.
It should be dropped.
And what did he do?
I am yet to hear that.
What did he do?
Just like the current case of New York.
You know what I'm hearing about?
Again, salacious stuff.
People taking money from federal government.
People overpaying employees.
People sleeping with other people that they shouldn't be and having inappropriate relationships.
I mean, all that keeps coming out here is that every time they go after him, their own dirty laundry comes out.
And it's terrible.
I don't know what they're thinking, but at what point do they look at their PR play?
Because that's what this is.
This is a PR play.
This is not about law and order.
This is not about justice.
This is about the DNC's PR play, campaign against Trump.
And they're using courts to campaign against Trump.
And it's not working.
It's just not.
So what are we doing?
You know, at what point are we going to say, let's be Americans again?
Go debate Trump.
Get up and debate him.
I dare you.
unidentified
Go.
alina habba
You know?
benny johnson
This is like a five-second video that Trump dropped yesterday.
Like, debate me, you coward.
Do it.
Anytime.
Anywhere.
Very UFC.
Very UFC energy, actually, Alina.
I will tell you what.
UFC move.
alina habba
If he goes to the debate...
I will wear another necklace.
I'll think about it, but I'll be there wearing some sort of something.
I mean, you know, it's not really about FJB and all that stuff.
It's really just about pro-America.
And it's about being frustrated with what has happened to our country, truly.
benny johnson
So the frustration finally boiled over in Florida, man.
I would argue that possibly that's your best win of the week.
We've been notching them up.
But man, Judge Cannon with the full cannon against Jack Smith.
You're saying effectively, like, you planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago.
You can't tell us.
alina habba
Right.
benny johnson
You staged it.
You brought in the cover sheets.
Okay.
And you've been saying this for a while, but now you actually have all the evidence at your back, or at the very least, the evidence is public, and now we can all see it.
So this must be extremely vindicating for you.
alina habba
Yeah, because I was asked, you know, does it look like this?
unidentified
Does it look?
alina habba
No, it doesn't look like that.
I've been in his office.
unidentified
I don't see that.
alina habba
What are you talking about?
That is a staged picture.
And everyone's like, sure it is, Alina.
benny johnson
Wait a second.
So Trump has documents, classified documents, just all over his floor.
That's what we're glad to believe?
alina habba
I mean, come on.
Like, what was that?
And then we find out, and this was the most important part, that the documents were mishandled.
He admits in a footnote.
A footnote.
That the documents were mishandled.
That some of the cover sheets were not on the correlating documents.
So how do we know what anything is?
How do we know that it wasn't just some random cover sheet?
How do we know anything at this point?
If you mishandled that, that's like saying somebody shot someone.
Sorry, there's a bunch of fingerprints on this gun.
But we're going to go ahead and use it anyway.
Okay?
No problem.
unidentified
What?
benny johnson
What?
Again, we're not accomplished lawyers like yourself.
We're just community college graduates over here.
But even we can watch old Dave Chappelle show sketches and find them funny because of the planting of evidence.
Like, that's an ongoing joke, right?
The cops plant evidence, sprinkle some crack on them.
And it's like, that's a joke because it's so immoral.
Yet Jack Smith, in multiple instances, admitting we lied to the court, we planted evidence.
We staged photographs.
And this is the one I can't get out of.
The GSA had pallets of boxes they forced Trump to take.
And there's no way to tell if that's where the classified documents were.
So presumably the government was planting evidence.
Potentially.
Jack Smith admitted it.
alina habba
He admitted?
Imagine, this is what he's willing to admit.
What's he not willing to admit that we haven't found out yet?
And that was only after Judge Cannon forced certain documents to be off seal because they were under seal.
She forced documents to be unredacted.
She released those.
If we didn't have that transparency, first of all, the defense would never know, let alone the American people.
And by the way, it's one and the same because the defendant happens to be the leading candidate.
So when you're trying to hurt him, what you're doing is actually hurting all the people that would vote for him, all the people that don't want...
President Biden in office for another four years.
You're actually not hurting Trump.
You're hurting us, too.
And it's not fair because we get a right in November to pick who we want.
And taking away that right and taking away his rights to campaign and have fair campaign is really, really wrong.
Really wrong.
benny johnson
So here's my final question on Jack Smith, because we've covered this extensively on the program.
We brought in a bunch of experts.
Obviously, Julie Kelly doing incredible work on this.
We've had her on for an hour to talk through this.
I think the audience is well aware of how that case is really imploding, how it's been delayed indefinitely.
Probably no chance it'll ever get to trial.
I mean, do you think it'll ever get to trial?
alina habba
I don't think it should continue at all.
I think that one's evidence.
The key evidence, which is the basis of their complaint, once that has been completely jostled, manipulated, and by the—I think all credibility is gone.
I think, number one, I think that there wasn't really much credibility, to be honest.
The fact of the mistreatment between Biden and Trump and President Trump was at the time that he took the documents, I think all of that speaks volumes.
But now we have a serious evidence that President Trump is not treated.
Like everybody else.
But now we have a problem that I don't know how we get around.
And I think Judge Cannon did the right thing, did the only thing you could possibly do, frankly, no matter what judge it is.
How can you possibly continue when the key evidence of what you're saying he did has been manipulated by the prosecution?
unidentified
Can't.
alina habba
Needs to be dismissed.
benny johnson
So really quickly here, one of the hearings that...
One of the hearings that she scheduled was, is Jack Smith a legitimate special prosecutor?
Does he have the right to be a special prosecutor?
Ed Meese from the Heritage Foundation has filed with the Supreme Court that he's not a legitimate prosecutor.
What's your take on that?
alina habba
Yeah, I agree with that.
I agree with that.
Like I said, he's a henchman.
And you can't do that.
Can't do that.
But we're seeing that.
By the way, pay attention.
I can't speak to some of it.
But we're seeing that in some of the trials that are ongoing.
benny johnson
So, speaking of henchmen, I just want to close with this.
You had a henchman come for you this week talking about your celery cutting skills.
And I wanted to give you a chance to respond.
I'm not even going to mention the accounts, okay?
But there are people who are very upset at your ability to make brisket here, which is what you were making.
alina habba
I really make a good brisket.
Sorry, I do.
unidentified
It's good.
alina habba
My husband's Jewish.
I'm a great brisket maker.
So here's the deal.
I have a law degree.
I am not a cook.
I don't pretend to be a cook.
This was not even put on my account.
Somebody literally had to fish it out from somebody else's account.
And I don't know why it was posted by that person, but it's fine.
I don't mind.
She was excited because I was making...
Her and her family brisket for Passover and being a kind and good friend.
I think it's desperate.
I think it's pathetic.
And I think it's ironic that the left who pretends to be inclusive are destroying females who are working hard, being kind to their friends on a religious holiday, and just constantly berating and demeaning women.
It's just ironic to me, especially after watching Hillary Clinton last night talk about...
All the things she likes to talk about, acting like a feminist.
You know, this is your team here.
They're nasty, and they're hurtful, and it's just silliness.
Why don't you stick to the facts?
benny johnson
You didn't seem too bothered by it.
This went thermonuclear.
Let me recommend that you do more of these.
This went crazy.
You did millions of views off of, like, your response to this, and you were cutting avocado.
alina habba
I couldn't take it anymore, Benny.
I had enough.
unidentified
We've had enough.
alina habba
And you know what?
Some of my friends in Trump world were like, who cares?
I was like, you know what, though?
Every once in a while, I was like, this is so absurd.
I'm cutting celery and you're going to profit off of me doing that?
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
alina habba
You will not do that.
No, no, we will not do that.
benny johnson
More of this energy.
You can tell why you work so well with the president.
More of this energy.
Hitting back.
But then also, like, the self-deprecating, like, laughter.
This is one thing.
Trump said this yesterday.
The one thing.
I'd love to close on this.
The one thing we have on them is that we actually lead happy lives.
We're like happy people.
unidentified
We're happy people.
benny johnson
Miserable.
alina habba
Yeah.
Did he think he was going to make me cry with the celery?
He didn't make me cry.
I was like, you know what tomorrow I'm going to do?
I'm going to post something of me folding laundry.
I'm really terrible at folding laundry, too.
By the way, I'm going to show the world how I cannot do laundry.
I am awful.
At that.
I don't pretend to be Susie Homemaker, but I do make a good brisket and I might use the wrong knife.
Who knows?
unidentified
Who cares?
alina habba
But you know, at the end of the day, it's like sometimes you just have to say, like, this is it.
This is what you got.
Like, she can't cut celery.
First of all, how are you supposed to cut celery?
What am I saying?
I'm not a chef.
I don't know.
I'm cutting celery.
Leave me alone.
Get alive.
benny johnson
You know what they always say?
A little piece of wisdom.
Don't ever bring a knife to a gunfight.
And you actually brought a gun also this week.
alina habba
That's what I'm good at, by the way.
Did you see that?
Those were good shots.
I scored pretty well that day.
I love shooting.
And yeah, don't bring a knife to a gunfight.
benny johnson
Yeah, that's right.
So you brought the gun?
They can complain about the knives all day?
alina habba
I didn't see any trolling about my shooting skills.
benny johnson
You got both of them?
All right.
Hey, this is why Donald Trump obviously has chosen you as a spokesperson and as his attorney.
You are a straight shooter.
A little bit of encouragement for the audience going into the weekend.
How's the state of the campaign?
How's the state of the president?
What's the spree?
alina habba
is winning in the polls while being trapped in a courtroom in New York, okay?
Imagine if he was actually campaigning.
Imagine if people could actually hear what we have to say.
All the plans he has, the real plans.
I want to stop with the lawfare and let him get to what the American people want to hear about.
How are their 401ks going to get better?
How is gas going to get cheaper?
How are eggs going to be cheaper?
How are children not going to be indoctrinated by this crazy, demonic stuff?
That's what we want to talk about.
That's what I want to talk about.
I don't want to do this.
You know, I want to be hearing about who the future president is.
I know who the future president should be, but let's get to the real stuff.
President Trump, I always like to tell people how he's doing because I know that is something that the American people don't get to see, and I am fortunate enough that I do get to see it.
He honestly has the same attitude, I think, like you said, Benny, as me laughing, cutting up the avocado and being like, "Guess what?
Guess I'm not good at everything." He's just such a good cheerleader for the people around him that are cheering for him, which is funny because, you know, you would think it would be all that way.
But instead, he's, you know, encouraging his team and lifting them up and always keeping us moving.
And that's why we smile and we're happy, unlike the left.
And we are pushing and pushing hard and we have energy because we see this for what it is.
And I think this week the American people are starting to see that what we've been saying, that these are witch hunts, these are hoaxes, is coming to fruition.
You are slowly seeing all the pieces come out.
They tried to hide it, but we will get it out and we will keep fighting to make sure that you guys all know how clear this witch hunt is and how we're going to take over back in November.
We're going to just crush it.
benny johnson
I can't believe I just thought of this, but you're right with it.
You don't have to say it!
But with the whole Stormy Daniels, I can speak to dark spirits thing.
It is a literal witch hunt.
You're exactly right.
You don't have to say it.
I'll say it.
Everyone follow Alina Hava.
Clapping back, shooting straight.
Just amazing.
222,000 people.
Can't be wrong, baby.
Get in there and let's go win.
God bless you, Alina.
Thank you.
alina habba
God bless you.
Thank you.
unidentified
All right.
See ya.
See ya.
benny johnson
you you you you All right, ladies and gentlemen, Alina Hama on the program!
So exciting!
Just great!
Just fantastic!
unidentified
Just awesome!
benny johnson
So excited that we got to play the shooting video and the chopping of the celery video.
I know, I know, call me childish, but these are things that are important.
And the MAGA clutch with the FJB fit around the neck.
We know there's a lot of big stuff going on here.
And we asked her about everything.
We asked her about every single case.
We were able to bring up every single case.
Did you love that?
How awesome is it, too, that she's willing to spend 30 minutes with us in this audience?
That's Donald Trump's spokesperson.
Spending 30 minutes plus with us in the audience.
I don't exactly know how long that was.
How long was that, ALS?
How long is that?
32 minutes?
30?
32 minutes.
unidentified
Amazing.
benny johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, there's a power of this audience.
We so very much thank you.
Obviously, we are going to do our best to make this page as big as possible, to make this audience as powerful as possible, to bring you the best guests live, to ensure that you are obviously knowledgeable about the breaking news and that we have a movement where we can make a movement together.
There is breaking news.
I'm being told right now that happened, actually, during our interview.
So let's go ahead and catch up there, ladies and gentlemen.
Apparently, Steve Bannon is going to jail.
This broke, is it?
Yeah, this broke while we were doing our interview with Alina, so I didn't get a chance to ask her about it.
Here we go.
Steve Bannon is heading to jail.
Appeals court upholds his conviction.
For defying the January 6th committee, no word on whether Hunter Biden will go to jail.
Steve Bannon was convicted of two contempt charges.
His four-month prison sentence placed on hold while he appealed.
An appeal was said that had no merit.
And so now Bannon goes to prison for four months.
Donald Trump's former chief senator, Steve Bannon, is headed to prison on appeal.
Appeals court upheld the conviction.
Contempt of Congress.
Wait a second.
I mean, Eric Holder, contempt of Congress.
Hunter Biden, contempt of Congress.
Dr. Fauci, contempt of Congress.
What the hell are these guys going to jail?
These are the new rules.
Okay.
What else do you have to say?
I mean, I guess I'm reacting this live.
Like, we've been telling you this.
It's Stalinist.
It's Stalinist.
You were going to lead a Hava.
Just say a second ago that they're Marxist.
This is Stalinist tactics.
They'll just jail their political enemy.
Peter Navarro's already in prison.
Uh, and now Bannon, uh, will be going to jail.
Uh, again, we're just, we're just covering, we're covering this live.
Um, okay.
Uh, where will Bannon be going to prison?
So Bannon's going to get like a mugshot and everything.
He's going to get the, the, the Trump treatment.
See, Bannon was Donald Trump, one of Donald Trump's very, very closest advisors.
And, um, He would hand two four-month sentences for two charges of contempt to run concurrently, and he was fined $6,500.
Bannon appealed that the district was on to say he willfully ignored the pena, that is, conduct government officials, and a 20-page ruling, but they rejected that ruling.
unidentified
Wow.
benny johnson
Okay, so here we go.
At the end of the article, he is not entirely out of legal options.
He could ask full appeals court to hear his case taken to the Supreme Court.
Legal analysts were quick to say that he had little hope of winning.
Bannon joined the Trump campaign in 2016 when he went to the White House chief strategist.
He lost power struggle and was ousted.
Unfortunately, I think we'd have a very, very different country and a very different Trump administration if Steve Bannon had stayed in the administration, Michael Flynn had stayed in the administration.
They can't cry over spilled milk.
Our prayers up for Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro.
Our prayers up, ladies and gentlemen.
We've been saying it.
We've been saying it for a very long time.
These are Marxists.
I guess we should couch that in more news.
Judge Cannon will unseal documents related to the Mar-a-Lago raid.
So expect more of this.
This led the news this week.
Judge Eileen Cannon is preparing to unseal motions.
Filed by Trump related to the Mar-a-Lago raid and Obama judge Beryl Howell's unlawful order that pierced Trump's attorney-client privilege.
Cannon held a telephonic status conference Wednesday to expose Howell's order obliterating the Trump attorney-client privilege.
Howell previously ordered the Trump lawyer, Evan Cochran, to testify before a grand jury.
Judge Howell...
Flipped Trump's own lawyer, Eric Cochran, into a witness.
So Cannon is about to let the documents fly again, Judge Cannon being a savior of the Republic.
Speaking of saviors of the Republic, Donald Trump yesterday at Mar-a-Lago made a lot of news by saying that Tucker Carlson will be his VP.
Okay, here we go, baby.
Donald Trump saying that Tucker Carlson will be the VP.
Here's the...
Here's the comments.
Here's what actually happened.
Okay, so let me catch this correctly.
Donald Trump says, who do you want to be my VP?
As he asked the people at Mar-a-Lago.
And the people at Mar-a-Lago said, I wanted to be Tucker.
And you can hear Donald Trump's reaction to that right here.
unidentified
Any hint at a VP?
benny johnson
Well, I have a lot of good people.
unidentified
We had a lot of them here a couple of days ago on the stage.
donald j trump
And we really do.
Who do you like?
unidentified
You know, honestly, Tucker Carlson.
benny johnson
I think he'll give the truth.
unidentified
He'll speak the truth.
donald j trump
A lot of people don't disagree with you.
unidentified
I want the truth.
donald j trump
Tucker is a good man.
He's been a good man.
He's been a friend of mine.
He loves our country, I will tell you.
unidentified
You like Tucker?
I love Tucker.
Who do you like?
I like Tucker Carlson.
benny johnson
Who do you like?
unidentified
I'm from Europe.
He likes Macron.
He likes Macron from BP.
donald j trump
Let's take a little choice.
unidentified
Senator Scott.
Who do you like?
donald j trump
A couple of days still after.
unidentified
Okay, well, there we go.
benny johnson
Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson would speak the truth as vice president.
We haven't heard that name in a long time.
Ladies and gentlemen, speaking of speaking the truth, we have a very special, maybe we'll turn this into a Friday, maybe we'll turn this into a Friday thing.
Get a load of this that Donald Trump put up on Truth Social seconds ago.
Here's Donald Trump's truth on Truth Social.
ALX list!
unidentified
ALX!
benny johnson
Donald Trump isn't even able to defend himself due to a gag order.
Donald Trump posting about our big old fat name drop of ALX.
And so you know if the president says ALX, we got to do an ALX update.
Ladies and gentlemen, executive producer Alux joins the show now.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
benny johnson
So, base ALX name dropping from Donald Trump!
alex alx lorusso
Got the MAGA hat on to celebrate.
benny johnson
Okay, so that's pretty amazing.
Can you give us some context there, please?
alex lorusso
Yeah, so this is actually a quote that I put up along with the picture of Michael Cohen wearing the shirt of him in jail.
And it's kind of funny.
So it was featured on Sean Hannity's show last night, which is probably where he saw it.
alex alx lorusso
But it's funny.
So he couldn't post the screenshot of it because it would violate his gag order.
alex lorusso
The first part of it would have.
So it's Michael Cohen is allowed to wear a T-shirt depicting the defendant in a trial he's the start witnessing behind bars on TikTok, which is Trump.
alex alx lorusso
And you can clearly see him wearing the shirt there.
alex lorusso
And I made the point that...
He's allowed to do that while being, you know, the star witness, but the defendant cannot defend himself publicly against these attacks.
And, you know, he's clearly, like, raising money and benefiting from the trial.
So Trump probably saw it on Hannity, and then he took my quote from the bottom, the part which wouldn't violate his gag order, and put it up.
So I was, you know, quite flattered by seeing that this morning while just scrolling through Truth Special.
benny johnson
So Donald Trump does watch Hannity.
You know that.
He does interviews with Hannity all the time, either interviews or call-ins.
And so he probably saw this.
This is the screenshot from yesterday.
I mean, listen, man.
It's a really good time.
If you're getting this much credit, it's a great time to have that avatar, man.
You got that avatar and fit.
I mean, it looks great on TV.
alex lorusso
Yeah.
alex alx lorusso
Yeah, well, that's the thing, too.
It's like the iconic red background really stands out when people are scrolling.
So that was kind of my thought process behind keeping that red background.
I originally just had a regular headshot of myself with it.
alex lorusso
But once that whole AI avatar thing became a thing, it became my Twitter 2.0 and now X profile.
benny johnson
So earlier in the show, I believe that you deserve the credit for...
Michael Cohen now saying, oh, I'm not allowed to talk about anything on TikTok.
You've seen sort of a sea change with Michael Cohen, and you've been doing a lot of reporting on this.
What's the status?
alex alx lorusso
Yeah, so as I mentioned earlier in the week, TikTok is kind of hard, and I'm not a native user for TikTok either, to cover these things because you can't go back and rewind live streams and you can't watch the replays.
alex lorusso
So anything that is said, you have to be screen recording live.
And kind of hope that you get, he does like a show every night at like 10 p.m.
And ominously last night he said he was going to be taking a week off.
What do you think that means?
He's going to testify in the trial.
So yeah, so last night he was asked a question about the trial and he said, yeah, we don't talk about that.
And which is, you know, the tone change from this entire time when he's just been dunking on MAGA and Trump live and, you know.
Everyone's been saying, why is Trump gag?
Meanwhile, he can do that and fundraise.
But he was asked about the shirt.
One of the people asked where they could buy it.
And he gave a little plug to the Midas Touch store, which he's a partner with for his podcast, and told the person who called in exactly where they could buy it.
So he is still profiting off of it.
benny johnson
Man, these people are such scum.
They're so scummy.
I don't know how you can be on the side of these people.
How are you on the side of these people?
Let's say you don't like Donald Trump.
How can you say that these people have a righteous mission?
How can you watch any footage of Fannie Willis, Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, the people that are up defending this, and say, yeah, I'm on the side of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
I don't understand it, man.
I don't get it.
alex lorusso
Yeah, the people who are protecting democracy, quote unquote, want to prevent a leading candidate from speaking out and want to throw them in prison.
But, you know, they're protecting democracy.
They're doing all of it to save our country, apparently.
So that's that's their point of view and their twisted brains, I guess.
benny johnson
It's good to expose these people, though.
There's not a lot of people paying close enough attention, but it's remarkable the amount of power you have.
If you are just alive, pay attention and can connect the dots, right?
Can see the trends.
And we've been doing this on this program.
It's actually having real-world results.
It's kind of awesome.
alex lorusso
Oh, yeah.
And that's the thing.
People underestimate the power of their voice on platforms like X. Or even Truth Social, where you just post something and it goes viral and it could have a real world impact.
So, you know, people shouldn't underestimate the power that they actually have.
benny johnson
What version of MAGA hat are you wearing?
alex lorusso
So this is the 45 version.
I don't have it on me, but I do have the 45-47 version from one of the dinners that I had with him and he signed it.
And he noted that it was, you know, bigger than the other.
I have a smaller head and less hair than he does, but he has obviously his massive, you know, hair.
And then that was his note.
He's like, I need it to be bigger so it's not tight on my hair or whatever.
So he's like, oh, the tighter ones mess up my hair.
So I do have the 45-47 one, but that's signed, so I don't like to wear that one.
benny johnson
Final thing I want to cover, because you've been hot on the Michael Cohen beat.
But the other beat that you've been on is the Barron Trump beat from this week.
And Barron Trump made a, what I would call a very unexpected jump into politics this week.
Can you sort of update us on what Barron has been doing as an 18-year-old?
alex lorusso
Yeah, so he recently turned 18, which means that he's apparently getting more freedom from Melania to be his own man, quote-unquote.
So he just recently announced that he's going to be a delegate to the RNC convention, along with his brothers, Don Jr. and Eric.
I think Eric is going to be like the lead delegate there.
And then there's also stories and reporting in the Daily Mail that he wants to get more involved in politics and that he gives his father advice and that he wants to follow in his footsteps.
Who knows?
We might be seeing a Barron Trump 2044.
benny johnson
2044?
Like the Time Magazine?
Exactly.
It's all a prediction.
Yes.
alex lorusso
If you zoom in, that's the last sign on the cover.
It says 2044.
benny johnson
Do you have that?
Oh, we don't have that.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, this is a good one.
This is great.
Did Elon Musk respond to this one?
Barron Trump will not be as forgiving as his mother.
alex lorusso
Yeah, Elon saw that early this morning.
benny johnson
This is great.
Okay, all right.
Fantastic.
Okay, ALX doing God's work, man.
Fantastic.
Everybody needs to go, oh, can we put up ALX's profile back up?
Go follow ALX.
You know to follow ALX, of course, on the show.
But if you're new to the show, get in there.
He's past 700,000 followers.
On his way to a million.
Let's go, baby.
We are so back.
The boys are back.
ALX, tell the people to have a good weekend.
alex lorusso
Have a good weekend, folks.
Folks.
benny johnson
How dare you?
alex lorusso
That's the Joe Biden.
benny johnson
Folks.
You're looking at Barron Trump's campaign manager in 2044, ladies and gentlemen.
You heard it here first.
See you, ALX.
alex lorusso
See ya.
unidentified
See ya.
benny johnson
All right, baby.
Here we go.
Oh, ALX was on.
Okay, ALX was on screen for that.
ALX, you're welcome.
You're welcome to stay.
I mean, of course, anytime.
So ask Benny anything.
Here we go, baby.
From the Brigade, questions.
Who is a better shot with the AR?
Of course, you're talking about the Spikes Tactical AR-15s that hang behind me, the AR-15 of the Johnson household.
You or Nurse Kate, says David.
The answer to that question is me.
Sorry, the answer to that question is me.
My wife has her own favorite firearm, and I think we'll actually be doing a video on that.
My wife went and has gotten outfitted with her own favorite firearm.
Here's what I would say, all right?
So here's what I would say.
Any firearm expert, and I don't ever, I wouldn't claim to be an expert, right?
I'm simply an appreciator of my Second Amendment.
I'm an appreciator.
Of my Second Amendment right, and I'm a practicer of that.
But I am no expert.
You should always depend on the experts, the experts who help out our show and our local firearm store and licensed firearm dealers down here.
What they've done is they've sort of like advised what types of firearms would be comfortable for me to use and for my wife to use in the unfortunate...
But who knows?
Situation that you would have to use them, right?
To defend your own home.
To defend your own property.
If you're out and about, right?
We got our concealed carry permits.
And so you want to make sure that you have something that you're very, very comfortable with, right?
Any firearm owner, any gun owner will tell you this.
It has to be something that you know, just like back your hand, right?
Just like putting your car into reverse or drive.
Like you just do it.
You can close your eyes and do it.
And those firearms are going to be oftentimes going to be very different for a man or a woman.
And so she has her favorite, and I think we'll be going to the range and actually filming some content soon with her, because this is something, obviously, that is, this is something that, you know, the differences.
So, ladies, get yourself something that you feel super confident in, and that's probably going to be different than the firearm that your man feels very confident in, in defending himself out and about or at home.
So, obviously, stay prepared, right?
Stay strapped.
It's what we always say on this program.
Thankful for Spike Saxe helping us staying strapped.
Can you ask Trump if he's going to a rally in Chicago?
Whoa!
Are there going to be rallies in Chicago?
It's going to be the DNC convention in Chicago.
Chicago's a pretty scary place.
We have an awesome interview that's running this weekend with two patriots that...
That wear MAGA hats all around Chicago.
It's really exciting.
We're excited about that.
That'll air on Sunday, actually.
So, Chicago.
Would Trump do a rally in Chicago?
Is Illinois in play?
That's the question, right?
Is Illinois within the margin of error?
I haven't seen any polling to say that it's within the margin of error.
I have seen polling, though, to show that Donald Trump's up in seven swing states and that he's broadening the map.
That states like Minnesota are in play?
That Donald Trump's winning in Minnesota?
There are states that Donald Trump shouldn't be winning in.
Obviously, you have the Michigans and the Wisconsins, the Georgias, the Arizonas.
These states are swinging Trump.
But then you have these states.
North Carolina used to be a swing state.
Now Trump's dominating that.
Florida used to be a swing state.
Ohio used to be a swing state.
Trump completely dominates.
Completely changes the map.
And then there are now like...
There are now states that are big pickups.
It would be huge pickups, landslide pickups for Trump.
I haven't heard Illinois in that list.
We'd have to look at the numbers.
I'd have to look at the numbers, okay?
The problem with Illinois is there's a single county, Cook County.
This is the county where Obama's are all from.
This is the Chicago County.
And this county accounts for the entire state, right?
It can outvote the whole state.
The machine there pumps out enough ballots, okay, that can be harvested.
From these slums, okay?
From these packed-in areas.
You know, think about it.
Like, these farm counties, you can have 1,500 people throughout the county.
There's plenty of counties that have, like, 1,500 people in it.
I'm from one in Iowa.
And then you can have one building with 1,500 people in it.
And then you can have thousands of those buildings, say, like, Cook County.
So you can counterbalance, you know, like, the whole county.
So it's tough.
It's tough math.
It's how Democrats are able to roll the state of Illinois up into their column when there's only one county that votes for them.
It's crazy.
Every other county's red in Illinois.
There's one county that votes blue.
And they're able to, like, rig, effectively, the entire state by weaponizing that county.
So it's a tough one.
It's a tough one.
Thought about this a lot, obviously.
Should totally break off those cities.
If you broke off Manhattan, New York would go blood red by, like, 50 points.
If you broke off...
Chicago, a single county, Illinois would go blood red by 50 points.
If you break off Minneapolis, if you broke off Seattle, if you broke off Portland, Oregon, those are red states.
Take three cities out of California, all 50 electoral votes go to Republicans.
It's just, unfortunately, it's like the way the system works.
So it is what it is, I guess, right?
Okay, I'm totally for breaking off Manhattan.
Push it into the ocean.
You should totally get a life-side cardboard cutout of Trump's mugshot in your studio.
Yes, yes, yes, says Lisa.
What we have, what is I know to be a much larger than life cardboard cutout of Trump's mugshot in your studio.
We have it.
This is not a digital background.
This is a practical background.
You can see back here.
I'll unplug for a second.
This is a practical background.
mike davis
This is a real...
benny johnson
Rolling back in my chair here.
mike davis
It's real.
benny johnson
I'm able to go back.
You can go back there.
That's a four-foot-tall Trump mugshot back there.
Four-foot-tall Trump mugshot.
Klein's over here running the show being like, do not unplug.
unidentified
Get back in your seat!
benny johnson
They're going to wrap me on the wrist.
Okay, yeah, I probably shouldn't do that.
But yeah, listen, it's a life-size one on the wall.
I mean, it's way bigger.
It's way bigger.
Then, like, Donald Trump's...
It's way bigger than Trump's head, you know?
It's bigger than Trump's head.
It's massive.
I'm gonna do it.
Look!
Look at this thing!
Look how big that thing is!
mike davis
Look!
benny johnson
This is the size of a normal head.
This is the size of me.
It's big.
It's a monster.
It's a big, giant Donald Trump head.
Okay?
Like, four times bigger than my head.
So, I guess we could get it bigger.
We could always get it bigger, right?
You could always get a 10-foot one.
Maybe we will.
Maybe we'll get a 10-foot one.
I don't know.
It'd be nice.
I'd love it.
I'd love it.
Maybe we should do that.

It's five bucks a month.
That's the cost.

Again, we did the math.
It's the cost of a Chick-fil-A waffle fry.
So there it is.
The verse of the day.
The truth of the day, ladies and gentlemen.
Some days we...
Some days we don't have a lot of happy things to talk about.
I'm happy today.
I'm a chipper.
I saw in the comment section, somebody's like, Benny, whatever you're taking, keep taking more of it.
I don't take anything.
I get sunshine in the morning.
I go for either a walk or a run before my kids wake up.
I cook my kids' breakfast, hang out with my family.
It makes me high on life.
And I drink my coffee, my blackout coffee from my brigade mug.
That's it.
That's how we operate around here.
Verse of the day.
The truth, ladies and gentlemen.
That's the truth.
Here's the real truth.
If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
John 15, 18. Something that you can't ever do is read yourself into scripture.
Do you know what I mean?
Don't ever do that.
Don't ever compare mortal men with the deity of Christ.
And it's why we say Donald Trump's the most famous man.
You know, on earth.
The most famous...
Jesus Christ is the son of God, right?
He's not a man.
And Jesus Christ is our savior.
And so you don't ever want to read yourself, right, into his suffering or anything.
But you do want to, like, recognize that he was...
Christ was also tempted, you know?
And he also had to deal with, like, mortals like us.
And the apostles, like, weren't perfect, right?
And his disciples weren't perfect, and he was patient with them, and he helped them along.
And that's us, you know?
And God is patient with us.
He helps us along.
He helps us get through it.
And the world hates us.
The world does hate us.
I mean, it's a fact, right?
It's a matter of fact.
And you can see the dark energy of this sunken world come at Trump.
You know, and maybe you felt dark energy in your life.
Maybe you felt like you're under attack.
And a lot of people are, every single day, under attack for a bunch of different reasons, okay?
Trump's no different.
People are under attack, and it's often spiritual attacks.
And so you've got to make sure you put on the full armor.
You've got to make sure that you recognize that Christ has defeated these struggles.
Not that he's going through these struggles.
He's defeated these struggles, okay?
You live in a sunken world.
But you have the victory already.
First temptation of Christ, Satan brings him up on top of the highest mountain on earth.
He shows him all the kingdom of the world.
Says, I'll give it all to you.
And Jesus Christ didn't say, you're a liar.
You can't do that.
Christ acknowledged that this sunken world, like Satan, has dominion over it, sadly.
Not total dominion over it.
But Satan can operate in this place.
Do you know what I mean?
Satan can operate in this place.
And Christ says, don't tempt me, man.
He says, I'm going to serve God.
I'm going to worship no one other than God.
You can't tempt me.
And you have no power here.
And we'll defeat you because I'll defeat death.
And I'll have the total victory.
And I'll pay for everyone's sins.
And then we'll be ready to rock and roll.
And that's it.
And then my followers, the people who believe in me, will never have to worry again for the rest of their lives, for a second more in their lives.
It's like so awesome.
And so we don't have to worry, right?
Life's going to throw a bunch of stuff at us in the sunken place.
Life's going to throw a bunch of garbage our way.
And we don't have to worry.
The victory is already ours.
That makes us happy.
We're actually happy, people.
That's our happiness.
That's our joy.
And that spring's eternal.
And so we can march with that assured victory.
Okay?
There we go.
A little long verse of the day there, but it's the weekend, so why not?
Do we have our meme?
We have that sweet meme?
Okay.
So if you missed the show at the beginning, we had this awesome meme.
This amazing meme.
Let this meme uplift you into the weekend.
And make sure that you remember this.
Like, you are a spiritual being.
You are having a human experience.
unidentified
That's it.
benny johnson
You're not having a spiritual experience.
You're spiritually having a human experience.
And the victory is already...
Yours.
Be uplifted and walk righteously and upright into the weekend with us.
