Speaker Time Text
brooke singman
Today, President Biden will need to calm the nerves of both foreign officials and members of his own party who have already expressed concerns about his fitness following both the G7 summit and the first presidential debate last month.
So this big day comes as The Wall Street Journal reveals how Biden's inner circle worked to hide his aging on the world stage.
The new report detailing a time that the president missed a meeting with the German chancellor because...
The article says, quote, German officials aware of Biden's fatigue at night sought to accommodate the president by planning a June 2022 event with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the early evening.
Biden didn't show, surprising the chancellor and his aides.
Instead, Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived and announced that Biden had to go to bed, according to two people who were there.
The State Department, though, is denying that report.
But an analysis of official transcript corrections of Biden's speaking errors has nearly doubled in the last year.
In May alone, White House staffers had to make 51 corrections in official transcripts for times the president misspoke during his speeches and his remarks.
That is compared to 33 corrections in June of 2020.
I'm sorry, June 2023.
But meanwhile, House Democrats today will hold a restricted caucus meeting as calls for the president to step aside continue.
But President Biden is ramping up efforts to save his reelection campaign.
Last night, he met virtually with the Congressional Black Caucus, whose members are sticking by his side.
unidentified
Sir, do you think he can do this for four more years after what you saw in the debate?
mike lee
Yes.
unidentified
Because we're the most loyal group of Democrats in Washington.
Bar none.
And the record speaks for itself.
brooke singman
Senate Democrats will also meet today for the first time since the debate, and some are distancing themselves from the president.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, a longtime Biden ally, says his debate performance raised a lot of questions.
And Senator Mark Warner is saying it is incumbent upon the president to more aggressively make his case to the American people.
But the president, his campaign and the White House are all insisting he will remain in the race, guys.
unidentified
And I'm reminded today by President Biden's G20 press conference in Hanoi where he said, I'm going to bed.
Now we know that he also apparently said it to the German chancellor behind.
His words.
benny johnson
Nobody's making that up.
unidentified
Thank you so much.
Let me tell you the story I heard from a local state trooper about Joe Biden riding on an Air Force One pooper.
His days were numbered.
Nobody wanted him around.
So he took his cash and went out like D.B. Cooper.
mike lee
Run, Joe.
unidentified
Run into the Amazon.
Take your wife and crack head, son.
Maybe one day we find your fortune like F.J.B.
Cooper.
Join us in the hunt for truth and light at the Penny Show.
Target's in sight.
Run, Joe.
Run into the Amazon.
Take your wife and crack head, son.
Maybe one day we find your fortune like F.J.B.
Cooper.
Take your wife and crack head, son.
We are raising!
Getting the levels around here!
mike lee
Baby!
benny johnson
Got that AOC hype energy at a rally in the Bronx with 12 people!
unidentified
Oh, man!
benny johnson
Gets the people going!
What was that?
Just blew my mind!
Can we get that ready to play?
That was like art!
It was like a Hollywood movie trailer!
Jerry, you're a genius!
This is amazing!
This is why...
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for supporting our program.
You support art.
Like this.
Art!
We have artists who work at this show.
Artists!
That meme was incredible!
Look at the chat!
The chat is melting down right now!
Jerry, that meme!
That is amazing!
You owe me a phone call.
I gotta figure out how you did that.
That's remarkable.
Baby!
We are ready to go!
Locked and loaded!
I like the eagle that's hunting in the jungle.
What's that even brought?
We have too much fun on this program.
We have illegal amounts of fun, okay?
Joe Biden's, his last act, his last act as they claw Jill away from the, because it's actually Jill, as they claw Jill away from the Resolute desk, her fingernails scraping and scratching the top of the desk, right?
The Secret Service needs to drag her out of the White House.
The last act, they're going to be like, that Benny show, they have too much fun.
Quick, FBI raid, right now on his studio.
They have too much fun.
And thankfully, the Supreme Court will say, no, no, you cannot write a studio for fun.
That is not you.
You cannot.
Benny has immunity.
Benny has immunity.
And we all have immunity today from stupidity, but no immunity from cringe.
This is going to be a cringe-worthy show because the White House and cringe Jean-Pierre have had an epic meltdown to save all meltdowns.
And I cannot believe it.
Cringed Gene Pierre yesterday was subjected to the daily barrage of questions that Sarah Sanders and Kayleigh McEnany got in the White House under Donald Trump.
And it's glorious.
We're going to play you such juicy soundbites from the meltdown yesterday at the White House today, July 9th, 2024.
unidentified
Also...
benny johnson
Donald Trump breaks his silence.
He has a massive rally today in Florida.
We'll be live for it with Marco Rubio.
What does that tell you?
I don't know.
I'll let you speculate.
And, ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump also gave an incredible interview last night live on Fox News.
We'll play it for you.
Senator Mike Lee joins the show.

Okay, here we go.
Donald Trump and KJP battling it out yesterday for who can have the most epic moment on TV.
Now, an epic moment can be like an epic meltdown, which KJP had.
An epic moment can also be Donald Trump talking at length with Sean Hannity last night, and we have both clips ready for you.
I do want to bring up something that I think is really, really important about the news cycle yesterday.
Alex, I want to get into the Parkinson's.
I want to get into the Parkinson's stuff.
So I'd like to just very quickly grab the Joe Biden hand shaking, please, if we don't have that in the script.
And I want to talk through I want to talk through, like, what the Democrat Party is really up against.
Like, the monsters that they're up against.
Because they actually know that Joe Biden has Parkinson's or some type of, like, horrible disease.
And they're pushing him anyway.
And they're using, effectively, the guy's corpse for power.
Any moral person, of course, would say that doing this, you know, like, doing this to one of their family members should be criminal and should be elder abuse, effectively.
And that is what we believe on this program.
But we were shocked, even ourselves, we were shocked yesterday as this narrative of Joe Biden has Parkinson's.
We've been saying dementia for a long time.
What do we know?
We're not medical experts.
But we're going to bring you some medical experts that actually have had conversations about this and are doing this professionally, including, and this was breaking just yesterday, a Parkinson's expert from Walter Reed Medical Center, which is...
The place where the president gets treated, right?
It's a big military hospital next to the White House in Washington, D.C. The Parkinson's expert continually goes to the White House.
He went to the White House eight times in eight months.
Why would that be?
The guy also happens to be a Biden donor.
So what the hell is going on there?
Joe Biden's creepy little midget doctor named Dr. O 'Connor.
The guy's literally like three foot tall.
unidentified
This...
benny johnson
Little man's been, like, protecting Joe Biden, saying Joe Biden has a clean bill of health, meanwhile bringing in these neurologists to meet with himself and then a mystery person.
Now, that is the subject of our first big clip for today, which is KJP's meltdown at the White House, because the press went absolutely guerrilla mode on her, okay?
The press went bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
Yesterday.
I've never seen anything like it.
You're going to see here in this clip, CBS News, like corporate media reporters, they call them the front row, okay?
So if you go to the White House briefing room, it's called the front row.
All the big corporate networks.
Fox News is in there, but also you have CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS, and NBC.
And they all sit in the front row, right?
And they always get questions, okay?
You always do the front row first if you're the White House press secretary.
Can you tell I'm practicing?
Can you tell I'm practicing?
Trump, I'll be your press secretary.
It'd be the greatest thing ever.
I will have...
The time of my life.
Please, let me be the press secretary.
Anyway, the front row.
So you ask questions the front row.
Man, these guys, yesterday, they were like rabid dogs going after this story.
And so, of course, it brings up kind of our attention to the descriptors of Parkinson's.
So I want to, like, show you this clip.
Do we have this as a play beside?
I'm going to show you this clip of...
Yeah, the Parkinson's hand.
Of Joe Biden's hand.
Now, this is something that, of course, only we notice because we're quite autistic like that.
But here is Joe Biden's hand at an event in Philadelphia two days ago.
You'll notice that Joe Biden, I don't have a microphone, but I have something somewhat close.
You'll notice his hand continues to tremor.
Why would that be?
Well, maybe Joe Biden's just tired.
But then video after video after video shows Joe Biden's hand tremoring in various different scenarios, right?
Joe Biden was at a black church pandering, scared out of his mind, clearly, because Joe Biden in the black church, he always looks like, you know, he's terrified.
He's like this close to calling 911.
Joe Biden is so scared that corn pop, right, it's going to pop up, you know?
And finally, with his razor blade and his rusty chain, come for his revenge, right?
Corn pops revenge.
I would totally buy a ticket.
Make that movie, please, Hollywood.
Anyway, what I'm saying here is that at that church, you can see Joe Biden's hand doing the same thing.
Why is Joe Biden's hand tremoring?
Now, tremors in the hand is actually one of the first signs of Parkinson's disease, and I'm particularly knowledgeable about this, not because I'm a doctor, but because my grandfather had Parkinson's disease, the one I lived very close to in Iowa, where I grew up.
And I saw him every single week, and that guy, for my entire life, had these tremoring hands.
As part of my childhood, I saw it close up, and maybe perhaps you've seen somebody with Parkinson's as well.
Presumably, you could just head on down to any nursing home and find somebody with the exact same decline features as Joe Biden is featuring right now.
Some of the other Parkinson's signals that you see here, according to the Mayo Clinic, is the tremors are common, but the disorder also causes stiffness and slowness of movement.
In the early stages of Parkinson's disease, your face may show little to no expression.
Do you remember Joe Biden at the date?
Remember that?
Dude, there's 100 million people watching.
Why do you look lobotomized?
Joe Biden at the debate, there's like pictures of it.
mike lee
Right?
benny johnson
With his mouth all slack-chotted.
You almost feel bad for him, right?
Arrest Jill Biden for elder abuse.
Arrest her.
Arrest her!
Arms may not swing when you walk.
Your speech may become soft and slurred.
And the condition progresses over time.
All of this is like...
Dude, this is clinical for what's going on with Joe Biden right now.
And we bring all this up.
Oh, we have the church video.
Okay.
I mean, we have the church video.
You can see here.
We don't need to play audio with it.
You need to punch forward to pretty much the last 20 seconds of the video.
And you can see Joe Biden's hand.
You can see Joe Biden's hand nervously ticking, moving certainly at a speed that wouldn't be like him just having fun.
And moving involuntarily, right?
So these are the kind of things that make us say, wait a second, this is a little strange.
And then lo and behold, yesterday, I think we have this clip.
Yesterday, Joe Biden was asked on Morning Joe.
Who Morning Joe's favorite show, and these people know a lot, you know, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, they know quite a bit about what's going on in this White House because they're very well-sourced inside of this White House, much like Tucker Carlson would be well-sourced inside of, you know, a Trump White House.
I don't like their show.
It's not like we tune in, but, like, it's worth giving credit where credit is due.
They know what's going on.
They kept asking about Parkinson's.
Here, listen.
mika brzezinski
Have you been tested for any age-related illnesses, pre-Parkinson's, or anything like that that might explain sort of having a night like that where you couldn't finish sentences?
joe biden
Look, I had before, I was feeling so badly before the debate.
When I came back, they tested me before.
I thought maybe I had COVID.
Maybe there was something wrong.
I had an infection or something.
They tested me.
They gave me those tests.
I was clear.
So, but look, I had a bad night.
But the fact of the matter is, look at what I'm doing.
I mean, let me put it this way.
If there was something that was wrong that night, it's not like it comes and that's one night and it goes away.
That's why I've been out.
I've been testing myself, been testing everywhere I go, going out and making the case.
The night of that debate, I went out.
I was out until 2 o 'clock in the morning that very night.
That very night.
It drives me nuts, people talking about this.
benny johnson
It's strange because they've coached Joe Biden.
They obviously have very, very good PR, right?
And so they've coached Joe Biden, who's an angry, visceral...
Psychotic man who's like a mean, nasty person, right?
Remember Jerry Wayne at the auto plant in Detroit, right?
Where Joe Biden put his finger in his chest and screamed at him, spit in his face, right?
Told him he's going to be, he called him a horse's ass and told him he's going to be.
That's the real Joe Biden.
You've all seen that clip, right?
This was in 2000.
This is in 2020.
Right before, right before they were like, okay, quick, hit the button COVID, you know, like lock everyone down.
You can't allow Joe Biden on the actual campaign trail.
And they changed politics forever, right?
Then they created the insulated president because of Joe Biden.
This is not like Joe Biden's normal, this is not Joe Biden's normal state to be like this calm, this calm, like soft-spoken old man.
Now, some of it may be part of the Parkinson's and part of the degenerative disease that's happening to Joe Biden.
But I think a lot of it's coaching because they've crafted this image of Joe Biden being this sensitive, soft-spoken old dude.
And so, obviously, Joe Biden broke character in that clip and started yelling.
In that clip from yesterday, MSNBC, Joe Biden is breaking character and starts saying, this drives me nuts!
He starts yelling, and he yelled multiple times during that interview.
So Joe Biden's snapping.
You know, they're breaking.
The walls are crumbling right now.
And nothing demonstrated this better than the White House press conference yesterday.
The White House press conference yesterday was so delicious because it was, one, because of the delicious tears that KJP cried.
And she was on the verge of tears.
Her lip was quivering and her eyes were watering up.
You could see it.
It's incredible.
But because it is justice for these people.
Who have been such liars and gaslighters to all of us and who demand different treatment.
You know, I was in the Trump briefing rooms.
I was there.
I was working as a media reporter, a corporate media reporter in Washington, D.C. I saw the literal frothing at the mouth.
Like I saw Jim Acosta yelling questions where spittle would shoot out of his mouth.
He was like spitting on Sarah Sanders.
I saw the blood in these people's eyes.
These journalists.
We're like, we're rabid, okay?
It was like a group of tiger sharks in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico when you just throw a bunch of chum, a bunch of like disgusting chum into the water.
They were animals, okay, when it came to Trump.
And they're just these little doves.
There's these little like fluffy bunnies when it comes to the Biden White House.
And they never ask tough questions and they never gang up.
Remember how they all used to gang up on Sarah Sanders or Kayleigh McEnany and all these reporters would scream and yell together?
That finally happened at the White House yesterday.
It's an incredible moment.
It's worth soaking it all in.
And Cringing Pierre is going to need a thousand hours on a therapy couch to get over just this day.
Check it out.
karine jean-pierre
Many of them get the care from the White House Medical Unit, and so need to be super careful.
There are, you know, the medical unit hosts a wide range of specialists, from dermatologists to neurologists, and so I cannot speak to every person because there's actually a security reasons to protect their privacy.
We respect and protecting people's privacy, so do not want to share.
I'm not going to share people's names from here, but the president, I can tell you, has...
I've seen a neurologist three times as it's connected to a physical that he gets every year that we provide to all of them.
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait.
Eight times or at least once in regards to the president specifically.
karine jean-pierre
Hold on a second.
unidentified
How much you should be able to answer by this point.
karine jean-pierre
No, no, no, no, no.
No, wait a minute.
Ed, please.
A little respect here.
unidentified
Please.
karine jean-pierre
So every year, around the president's physical examination, he sees a neurologist.
That's three times, right?
So I am telling you that he has seen a neurologist three times while he has been in this presidency.
That's what I'm saying.
I am telling you that he has seen them three times.
That is what I'm sharing with you.
Right?
So every time he has a physical, he has had to see a neurologist.
So that is answering that question.
unidentified
No, it's not.
karine jean-pierre
No, it is.
It is.
You're asking me- Dr. Kevin Kennard, come to the White House- But I just- I also said to you, Ed, I also said to you, for security reasons, we cannot share names.
We cannot share names.
We have to- You cannot share names of others he would have met with.
We cannot- You can't share names in regards to- No, no, no, no.
If someone came here in regards to the president- No, we cannot share names of specialists.
Broadly.
From a dermatologist to a neurologist.
We cannot share names.
There are security reasons.
unidentified
We have to protect.
karine jean-pierre
I understand that.
unidentified
I hear you.
karine jean-pierre
I cannot, from here, confirm any of that, because we have to keep their privacy.
I think they would appreciate that, too.
unidentified
We have to give them— We have to keep their privacy.
karine jean-pierre
I hear you.
Guys, guys, guys, hold on a second.
There's no reason to get back and go back and forth and be in this aggressive way.
unidentified
We're a little missed around here about how information's been shared with the press corps around here.
karine jean-pierre
What are you missed about?
What are you missed about?
unidentified
Everything he just asked about.
karine jean-pierre
And then every time I come back and I answer the question that you guys asked.
I never answered the question incorrectly.
That is not true.
I was asked about a medical exam.
I was asked about a physical.
That was in the line of question that I answered.
And I said, no, he did not have a medical exam.
And I still stand by that.
Matter of fact, the president still stands by that.
He had a verbal check-in.
That is something that the president has a couple times a week.
A couple times a week.
I am telling you right now that I am not sharing confirming names from here.
It is the security reasons.
I am not going to do that, Ed.
It doesn't matter how hard you push me.
It doesn't matter how angry you get with me.
I'm not going to confirm a name.
It doesn't matter if it's even in the log.
I am not going to do that from here.
That is not something I am going to do.
What I can share with you is that the president has seen a neurologist for his physical three times.
Three times.
And it is in the reporting that we share a comprehensive reporting.
Matter of fact, it's more than what the last guy shared.
And it is in line with what George W. Bush did.
It's in line with what Obama did.
And so it is comprehensive.
It is out there.
I just read a quote from it.
But I am not.
I am not going to devolve somebody's name or confirm someone.
I'm not going to do that.
That is privacy for that person.
I'm not going to do that.
It doesn't matter how hard you push me.
It doesn't matter how angry you get with me from here.
I'm just not going to do that.
It is inappropriate.
It is not acceptable.
So I'm not going to do it.
unidentified
If you cannot confirm the name, can you confirm whether or not the president has seen this Parkinson's specialist?
And you mentioned three times that the visitor logs show a duration of eight visits of eight months.
I think that is the crux of the question.
karine jean-pierre
But I also said there are thousands of military personnel that come to the White House and they are under the care of the medical unit.
They are!
What I can tell you is that the president has seen a neurologist three times, and I read to you what the neurologist has said.
And I read to you the last line.
I could say it again.
No findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, or ascending lateral sclerosis.
That is from February.
That is coming from February.
That is what the medical unit, the president's doctor, shared.
And I said to you, it's happened three times.
Each time there is a physical that occurs and we put out a comprehensive report, that is when he has been able to see a specialist.
So that's what I can share.
benny johnson
All right, ladies and gentlemen, as we have said before, the world's greatest monsters are the people who would do this to anyone, anyone who's infirmed.
Joe Biden is handicapped.
You're abusing a handicapped person.
This is, frankly, a crime.
The cover-up is a crime as well.
Kamala Harris is the beating heart of this cover-up.
Kamala Harris meets with Joe Biden regularly.
She knows this.
The entire team knows this.
They're aware of what's going on.
We're very, very happy that Chip Roy said that he'd be in favor of a truth and reconciliation January 6th-style committee to look at the mental decline of Joe Biden from an investigative standpoint.
And to see who the culprits were, right?
An important reminder that Biden's own DOJ declared him mentally handicapped.
That's what they declared him.
They said Joe Biden is so mentally infirmed he can't stand trial.
That's what Joe Biden's own DOJ said about him in her report.
And yet he's out here declaring that he's going to be president again.
And he's ready to be president again.
His own DOJ has declared him unfit to serve.
And so who are we going to listen to?
Man.
I think we should listen to maybe a Parkinson's expert, because the dam is now breaking in Washington, D.C. Right now, at the DNC headquarters, there is a meeting going on with Democrats huddling to try and mitigate this disaster.
So often, it's Republicans who are on their back feet with a national crisis, right, that has either been created or manufactured by the media.
Now it's Democrats.
I mean, truly, it's Democrats now.
And Republicans are set and prepared to hold Merrick Garland in contempt.
That's going to happen tomorrow.
Donald Trump is now breaking his silence, getting back on the campaign trail, and things seem to be looking up.
Let's listen to...
So you heard Crenshaw and Pierre do what she is paid to do, which is lie on behalf of Joe Biden, have a meltdown, actually a literal meltdown at the White House, reporters doing their job and asking...
Full, like, full-throated questions to KJP about their lies and then calling her out on the lies.
It's incredible.
The guy's in the front row.
His name is Ed O 'Keefe.
He's a reporter for CBS News.
And, you know, you've never seen this in the Biden era.
You've never seen it.
And so what do the experts have to say?
A Parkinson's expert was on TV this morning on NBC News, corporate television, talking about what's happening to Joe Biden.
And this is a guy who's spent his entire life researching Parkinson's.
And he says, And this is on corporate cable TV.
Joe Biden has Parkinson's.
Watch.
unidentified
Noticed anything that gives you a red flag as a doctor?
Oh yeah, I see him 20 times a day in clinic.
I mean, it's ironic because he has just these classic features of neurodegeneration.
I mean, word-finding difficulties, and that's not, oh, I couldn't find the word.
That's from degeneration of the word retrieval area.
He's also overcome stuttering, though.
Could that be part of that, too?
No, this is not a palatal issue or a speech discrepancy, which is very different from a lemino dysfunction, actual word retrieval, where you pick a similar question or talk around the issue, plus the rigidity, monotone voice.
Wait, go back to that, the rigidity.
Rigidity, loss of arm swing, standing up lordotically.
You notice when he turns, it's kind of end block turning.
It's not a quick turn.
So that's one of the hallmarks of Parkinsonism is rigidity and bradykinesia, slow movement.
And he has that hallmark, especially with the low voice that said was a cold, hypophonia, a small monotone voice like this over time is a hallmark of Parkinsonism.
I could have diagnosed him from across the mall.
Here are some of the symptoms from Parkinson's.
We just had them up there on the screen if we can put them back.
What about the movement?
Some people have pointed out the way he walks sometimes.
It's not very fast, small steps.
Is that something that is common in people who are battling a disease like Parkinson's?
Yeah, it's a hallmark.
Shuffling gait, we call that, so little steps.
Loss of arm swing from the rigidity.
When we walk, we have a nice cadence.
You notice he doesn't really swing his arms.
And N-block turning, meaning he kind of pivots around his foot.
If you said, hey, President Biden, he wouldn't go like this.
But I also know, and tell me if I'm wrong here, it's very hard to diagnose Parkinson's, isn't it?
It's not simple.
I mean, I've heard that it can be...
It's one of the easier movement disorders to diagnose, actually, because it's so clinic.
There's very little other...
And I'm a Democrat, I always say.
It's just like...
This guy is not a hard case.
But I've had relatives who have gone through issues, neurological issues, and I've heard that sometimes Parkinson's is not very easy to nail.
You have to take a lot of tests.
Early on, if you're just presented with hallucinations, that could be a variety of things, or just the cognitive problems.
That could be Alzheimer's versus Parkinsonism, and that becomes a little nebulous.
But once you start manifesting the hallmark motor symptoms, slow movement, rigidity, mass facies, hypophonia.
I mean, if a med student did not...
take Parkinson's on the test, they'd be remediated.
Let me ask you're a Democrat.
You're a doctor.
You sound like you're frustrated with what the White House is saying.
Why?
Well, because, you know, I'm an American before everything.
And I look at it and say, when I used to see Russia, Soviet Union, North Korea, when they just make outrageous things, you know, like when North Korea can't keep the lights on and they say, oh, you know, it was some faulty power thing.
I kind of hate that kind of stuff.
They had four years, my own party had four years to find, you know, this was a wreck in slow motion.
And they had four years to find out of 350 Americans, one person.
That could take the place.
And here we are the day before school trying to do the homework and replace a guy who's got a neurodegenerative disease.
Dr. Pitt.
benny johnson
Who's that?
Hold on.
So he's an expert.
Can I get guys, producers, can I get his name?
What's his name?
That guy's awesome.
Let's book him on the show.
He's like, I'm a Democrat.
Why are we doing this, this guy?
And the paid shill there for NBC News is like, well, because, you know, it's very hard to diagnose.
The doctor's like, no, it's not!
I've done this my entire life!
Look at him!
The stiffness in the gate!
Well, somebody in my family said it was hard.
unidentified
Shut up!
benny johnson
You're fake news!
You're like North Korea!
That's what the guy just said!
That's an amazing clip!
That's incredible.
So often we put the show together.
And I watch the clips live with you, right?
And hop into the chat, right?
And watch the clips live.
And I'm like blown away, screaming in the studio.
This is an incredible booking.
Let's get this guy on the show.
Holy smokes.
One like equals one FJB, ladies and gentlemen.
Like, and it looks like we got the poll up.
Doesn't matter.
Jill's president.
I just voted.
Everybody says Jill's president.
Okay.
I do want to show you something very interesting about Jill Biden.
Did you know this?
It's a tweet I sent in the production chat here.
Did you know that Jill Biden went to the Marines, the Marine Corps Band?
It's called the President's Own, right?
Marine Corps Band.
Here we go.
Is the people who play Hail to the Chief, right?
You know Hail to the Chief.
I want to show you what we're dealing with here.
For all those people who are like, Joe's going to drop out, okay?
I need you to see the type of zealotry and mini-tyranny, psychotic mini-tyranny that you're dealing with, all right?
This is an incredible excerpt from some reporting in Washington, D.C. Check this out.
Can we click on the actual source of the article?
There we go.
The Marine Corps Band.
Again, the fancy people who play for the president, right, stationed there on Barracks Row in Washington, D.C., was instructed to come up with an entrance-themed music for the First Lady.
unidentified
What?
benny johnson
The source told the Washington Examiner, the band, has in its repertoire an original composition titled Fanfare for the First Lady.
The song, the source said, is essentially Jill Biden's personal hail to the chief.
In that it will be performed and repeated at official White House functions from her first appearance until she is ready to speak.
So Jill Biden ordered the military to write her theme music when she wobbles into places in her bath curtain dress that she's wearing.
Bed, bath, and beyond.
Going out of business.
Get easy dresses for Jill Biden.
And right before she goes on stage as...
Alice Cooper, which is what she does when Joe is comatose and in bed.
She goes and performs as Alice Cooper throughout the country.
Very talented person, Jill Biden.
Look at this!
This is what you're dealing with.
Hey, Democrats.
Hey, good luck.
Good luck, pal.
This is what you're dealing with.
This is kind of psychotic, miniature tyrants.
Tin pot tyrants that you're dealing with.
That dude on MSNBC, the doctor, he's like, yo, we're no better than North Korea in the way we actually do the news here.
We're such liars.
And these people are total liars.
Of course, the media deserves so much scorn.
How is it that our show...
I'm going to step back for just a second because we're going to talk about Democrats and we're going to play you all of Donald Trump's interview last night.
Very good interview.
And Donald Trump's first interview, actually, since not committing elder abuse in the debate, just allowing Joe Biden to do it to himself, right?
Which I think is so smart for Donald Trump.
Just as an aside here, Donald Trump would have been the bad guy if it looked like he was bludgeoning with a cinder block, Joe Biden on stage, right?
Like if Donald Trump was metaphorically just like hammering Joe Biden.
OK, it would have looked bad because it would have looked like elder abuse.
Now it's on Jill and it's amazing.
Democrats are meeting right now in panic right now as we talk.
There are reporters all outside the DNC.
They're meeting in Washington, D.C. to determine like the fate of Joe Biden, to determine like what's going to happen.
They're all like huddled at the DNC convention.
The rules here is no staff.
You have to lock your phones in a box.
OK.
Because they don't trust people.
They don't trust the leakers.
And only the members of Congress have to sit around.
And Nancy Pelosi's there.
And she was wheeled in, you know, with a cocktail cart right behind her.
They're already mixing the martinis.
Nancy's going in.
She's going to be buying stocks and slugging Smirnoff martinis as she screams at the staff, at the members of Congress inside that they will get no more insider trading tips.
If they decide to tip the boat over on Biden.
So it's very, very interesting time right now.
Here's reporting on the meeting this morning as Democrats in panic.
unidentified
Meeting is officially underway.
Got going here at the top of the hour.
We've seen the likes of Debbie Dingell, Benny Thompson walk in.
It's top secret.
Members aren't allowed to have their cell phones in there to prevent any leaks, as we've seen in the past few days.
Lots of leaks when members start texting the press.
So they're trying to avoid that and allow a safe space for members to speak.
We're not even sure if the president is going to call in.
But you can see over my shoulder, you've got some Republican interns from the NRCC.
Holding a sign with a question that Democrats will, unfortunately for them, be asking about the president, whether he is fit for office for the next four years.
Now, even though House Democratic leadership supports the president as the next nominee, there are still nine members who publicly oppose that and even more that are questioning it.
Watch.
Well, right now I'm just listening to, I'm continuing to listen to members and see where they are.
Our members really need to continue to just see how this week plays out and see the president in unscripted situations.
donald j trump
It's his decision what he wants to do.
I respect that.
I respect the nomination process.
I will support vigorously whoever that nominee is.
unidentified
Senate Democrats, they're going to get together today as well during lunch.
And while Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he is for Joe, his vulnerable colleagues, guys, they are not on the same page.
We're talking about senators like Sherrod Brown, Martin Heinrich, John Tester.
They are distancing themselves from the president.
In Pennsylvania, Senator Bob Casey, who does support the president, was with him at a rally over the weekend, isn't willing to pressure his colleagues to save the president.
It was frustrating.
You wanted people to stop talking about this.
Let's move on and focus on November.
But it doesn't seem like your Senate colleagues want to stop talking about this.
In fact, they want to start the conversation.
Well, I'm not going to-- look, I'm not going to give advice to the government to know what they talk about.
I've got a race to run in a very competitive state in a tough election, so I'm going to focus on my race.
Well, the president did get a big boost of support from the Hispanic and Black Caucus chairs last night, but if he wants Democrats to just shut up about his age, that's not going to happen today at all.
That's all they're talking about.
benny johnson
Spicey, spicy!
Here we go, baby!
Democrats in disarray.
It's incredible.
It's incredible.
The series of wins that have been happening, it's biblical.
It's amazing.
We're watching something, and we're less than 120 days to the November election, and we are watching the total destruction of one of the most evil forces in modern Western civilization, which is modern-day wokeism and leftism, which is completely designed to destroy this place and destroy you, destroy your family.
And isn't it amazing, truly, it is amazing, that these people wanted your medical records.
They wanted you to get down on your knees and grovel and display your medical records to them so that you could work, so you could go to your job.
They had to be stopped at the Supreme Court from forcing you to have to grovel to go to work.
And to give up your private medical information, and far more nefarious, to give up your right to bodily autonomy.
Your right to decide what goes into your body, what medicines you take, what therapeutics you take.
Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness that's like inscribed, that all men are created equal, that we have the right to that, and we have the right to make our own choices.
unidentified
This party was lockstep.
benny johnson
This administration was lockstep to say, you need to get down on your knees and grovel to us and deliver your entire medical history and violate every single righteous bodily temple because of our therapeutic that we wish to force on you so that you can provide bread for your families.
These same people, nigh on 18, 20 months later, are sobbing and screaming and saying that it's medical privacy that's preventing us to understand why all of the Parkinson's physicians on Earth are traveling to the White House to secretly meet with Joe Biden and diagnose him.
They're now screaming about medical privacy.
Isn't it biblical?
Isn't it wonderful?
They're like, put a nice little bow on top of everything.
These are the same people.
unidentified
Oh, it's delicious, as we say.
benny johnson
The sweet, sweet, salty tears.
They flow.
And they continue to flow.
You know, Joe Biden didn't even go to this meeting.
So this is the Biden doomsday meeting that's happening right now at the DNC.
Banned all phones.
Banned all staff.
And apparently Joe Biden didn't even attend.
Again, this is what you're dealing with.
You're dealing with people that demand the military write them songs.
To their glory.
Like, they're worse than, like, they're worse than the dictators of small markets, like the small communist nations that still exist, Tajikistan.
All right?
It's incredible.
Here we go.
Biden's not even in attendance.
unidentified
Diversity of opinion cost you the election?
No, I think it strengthens the likelihood of victory.
You're in better shape now than you were a week and a half ago?
Well, no, no.
You're going to ask one question.
I'll give you an answer.
You're going to run it down somewhere.
We'll be in better shape by November.
Now, a senior House Democratic leadership source says President Biden will not meet with congressional Democrats this week.
The reason, the source said, quote, because he does not want to meet with people who will say things he does not want to hear.
Bill?
Yes.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I'm sorry.
benny johnson
You know, the incredible thing about tyrants is they're so thin-skinned.
You know, one of the first acts to agitate and spiral out of control the Revolutionary War environment in the colonies was King George banning cartoons of himself.
It's a story I love so much because we use memes, and memes are just modern-day political cartoons, right?
They used to be printed in newspapers.
Now they're memes, okay?
And political cartoonists are very powerful people.
And the ability to ridicule the powerful is so, so essential, the fabric of this country.
And King George banned the cartooning of himself in the colonies because they were making a mockery of him.
The nature of the tyrant is always the same.
It is remarkable.
It's wonderful to see things be so consistent throughout history.
The nature of the tyrant is that they can't handle bad news and they can't handle honesty about themselves.
And it's a fundamental Christian principle.
It's a fundamental moral principle that you must be able to hear that you are a fallen person, that you need to work on things, that I need to work on things.
Me as a father, a business owner, as just a human being, I must always perpetually try to be better.
This is something that I grapple with day and night.
I lose sleep over it because I want to better myself.
And it's important to have that feedback loop.
If you don't have that with your wife, your employees, with people around you, then clearly nobody loves you.
And more importantly, clearly you're incapable of understanding human nature.
And so Joe Biden doesn't want to meet with his own Democrat party because they're going to tell him things he doesn't like?
Oh, it's so good.
It's almost like these people force the military to write them songs.
So executive producer ALX has done a number here.
A very special thing.
We call it ALXAI at this show.
ALXAI is one of the first AIs actually before anyone.
Before ChatGBT, ALXAI existed.
And ALXAI is our executive producer, ALX, being able to find pretty much any clip, any time.
Takes him like 10 seconds.
And so he didn't know I was going to talk about Joe Biden's entrance music, but lo and behold, we found it.
And so here we are, ladies and gentlemen, Joe Biden's entrance music.
You're hearing it for the first time.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
*coughs* Yeah.
benny johnson
you The military is clearly trolling her.
unidentified
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
benny johnson
We should have assaulted her.
We should have assaulted Jill.
The military clearly trolled her.
Jill!
That did you dirty!
It's like a made-for-TV Disney movie.
Like a Lion King 4. It is Jill!
You listened to this and didn't realize they were trolling you?
Oh, man.
unidentified
Okay.

There are a lot of people that wish to protect our election integrity in Congress.
In fact, we may be passing the SAVE Act soon.
There are sponsors.
One of them joined the show yesterday, Chip Roy, and the chief sponsor of the SAVE Act, which essentially says, you have to be an American to vote in America, which is a wild concept.
How Republicans haven't done this throughout the course of, I don't know, like the last 70 years, I don't understand.
Why we didn't do this when we had a Republican president, House, and Senate a couple of years ago, I don't understand.
It's almost like the Republican Party hates us, some of the people in the establishment, and hates their voters.
But now we are changing that dynamic, and one of the men who are changing it is the co-sponsor of the SAVE Act in the Senate.
Senator Mike Lee joins the program now.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
you you Mike, I just want to ask you, because we just can't, dog with a bone, you know, we just can't get our teeth, we can't unsink our teeth into this thing.
Jill Biden forced the military to write her a song, like write her entrance music.
You've been in D.C. for a little bit.
Is that wild?
Is that, like, normal?
Or is that wild?
mike lee
It's normal in the Habsburg Empire, perhaps.
It's normal, perhaps, in a Soviet Republic sort of way, but not in a United States of America sort of way.
One of the scariest things I've seen, or just weirdest things I've ever seen, I go back and forth between being terrified and wildly amused.
benny johnson
Okay, so terrifying is the fact that that same White House, you know, the White House that spent so much time writing Joe Biden a theme song, is...
Also spending a lot of time writing commentary on why we don't need the SAVE Act.
And we were live yesterday when the White House dropped their disapproval of what you were trying to do here, Senator, which is to ensure that only Americans vote in American elections.
So I want to get your response to that.
Maybe we can pop that up on screen.
mike lee
Okay, look, the White House response yesterday was mindless and completely unpersuasive.
As I recall...
Principal response was similar to what Democrats have been saying about the SAVE Act generally.
Remember, the SAVE Act simply says that only non-citizens should vote in federal elections, and therefore, if you want to vote in a federal election, you need to be able to prove that you are a citizen, just as you would have to do anytime you start a job when you fill out an I-9, just as you would have to do when you apply for a passport, for example.
But the Democrats have been opposing it principally by saying, It's already illegal for a non-citizen to vote, so obviously we don't need to do this.
Now, Benny, by that same logic, by that very same logic, you could say it's already illegal to sell beer and cigarettes to a miner.
Therefore, there's no reason to have them produce ID when they're buying cigarettes or beer at a store.
It just doesn't wash.
I mean, in fact, it would get rid of a lot of their favorite programs.
Loves background checks as a condition for buying a gun.
Same thing there.
It's already illegal for felons to acquire or possess weapons.
Therefore, you don't need any of that.
So that argument just doesn't wash.
The truth is, Benny, they don't have any good reason to oppose this.
And, you know, with 10 million illegal aliens who have entered our country just...
Since President Biden's been in office, and with a total of about 30 million non-citizens in the United States, that's the current estimate, and a lot of those have come in through this administration, through the deliberate, willful refusal to enforce our border, Joe Biden has every obligation to make sure that our elections are secure.
So this leaves a question.
Why?
Why oppose it?
When the principal reason, the only reason that they're consistent about, Doesn't wash, it really begs the question of why they're really opposing it.
Could it be that they're just really comfortable with non-citizens voting?
benny johnson
The reason why they're opposing it is because they've built a machine, not necessarily around illegal immigrants voting.
They don't even need them to vote.
They just need the human being to exist in a specific area, typically a large city, in order to harvest a ballot.
The ballot gets filled out by the Democrat operatives and then pumped into a unmonitored drop box.
And that's, of course, how you get really remarkable 100% ballot drops in 3 a.m.
And this is like a pretty simple, obvious mechanism that, of course, would be destroyed by having to ally each ballot with a American citizenship.
Right.
mike lee
And the reason why that's so awful is because over the last 30 years, we've had laws that have been slowly building us up to this point.
In 1993, Congress passed the MBRA, the National Voter Registration Act, also known as the Motor Voter Law.
And it allows people in each state, when they apply for a driver's license, to check a box and sign their name on a dotted line saying, I'm a U.S. citizen and I'd like to register to vote.
And that's all they have to do.
It's on the honor system.
All they have to do is just be willing to lie and say, I'm a citizen and I'd like to register to vote, and then it's done.
Now, a few years ago, there was litigation about this.
It went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
And the U.S. Supreme Court, wrongly in my view, it was a bad ruling, but it concluded that under the National Voter Registration Act, those officials who register people to vote through this motor voter process are prohibited.
They're not even allowed.
They're affirmatively prohibited from requiring any kind of proof of citizenship from those who are doing it.
So we've created the opportunity, we've made it almost impossible to detect, and then we've flooded the zone with illegal immigrants.
What could go wrong?
Although I have a strong feeling, as you suggested, that this is a feature, not a bug for the Democrats, and it makes it that much more important for us to pass the sayback.
benny johnson
Yes, that's right.
Again, I think it's really important to note that they don't need the illegal immigrant to vote.
Even though it would be very easy, Senator, this is an example of exactly how easy it is.
Here we go.
Here is what it takes to illegally vote in the country.
Voter registration application.
Are you a citizen of the United States?
One box or two box?
All you need to do is be paid $5, a pack of cigarettes, a promise of a job to tick the yes box, lie.
And then, you know, there's really no mechanism to even check.
This at all.
There's no mechanism to go after the people who checked the box incorrectly.
In the president's own statement, Senator, he goes, he goes, yeah, this does happen, but it doesn't happen a lot.
I mean, effectively, they said, yeah, people do lie and noncitizens vote, but like not a ton.
OK, so chill out, Senator.
mike lee
So in other words, well, there are a whole lot more citizens voting than noncitizens.
So that's a win.
I mean, if this is what.
Qualifies as acceptable for government work.
This whole thing is going off the rails.
But look, for those Americans who care about the rule of law, who believe that our vote means something and that we suffer vote dilution, we have effective disenfranchisement of law-abiding American citizens when we allow people who are not citizens to vote.
This throws off the whole game.
This throws off the whole thing.
These are the same people, by the way, who understand on some level the need for the legitimacy of elections.
So much so that, according to them, we can't even question whether something could go wrong in an election or might have gone wrong in an election without them accusing us of high treason.
But by their own standard, they ought to be deeply concerned about this, if nothing else, because of the perception.
And the bad things that happen in any free republic when people stop believing in the legitimacy of elections.
benny johnson
Yeah.
I mean this seems to have been the goal for so long.
It seems to have been the goal for quite a while and a pox on some of the Chamber of Commerce people and some of the dumb – it's truly like stupid, short-sighted republicans, quote-unquote conservatives who backed this and who didn't do anything about it when we had the power to do it.
Maybe answer – Two questions for me simultaneously because I know we're short on time.
One, why didn't this happen when Republicans had unified control of the House, the Senate, and the White House?
Because even if you pass this, Joe Biden's promised to veto it, and I don't think you're going to convince him otherwise.
And two, what would this effectively do?
Because the argument is that this is going to create so many uphill battles for Americans to vote.
mike lee
Okay, look, number one, as to why it wasn't done earlier, the short answer is, I don't know, but a lot of us weren't aware of the nature and the extent of the threat until this administration.
In part because it's this administration that has, number one, welcomed all these illegal immigrants, like 10 million or so in the last three years alone, into the country.
And so our population of non-citizens in the United States has exploded.
Number two, this administration has taken active steps.
to promote things that lead to voter registration among non-citizens unless you take steps to prevent them from doing so.
So it's caused us to pay more attention to it.
As to the suggestion that they've made that this will somehow make voting untenable or too difficult, it's nonsense.
Look, people get new jobs all the time.
And if you're an American citizen, when you find new employment, you have to fill out an I-9.
When you fill out an I-9, you have to produce proof of citizenship.
It works.
It's not an undue burden.
And if we ever get to the point, Benny, where it's just too difficult to take steps to ensure the integrity and the legitimacy of an election, we're doing something wrong.
And so that's why we've got to pass this.
Send the message to your lawmakers, Republican, Democrat, House, Senate.
Tell them in no uncertain terms.
Don't even think about coming back unless you support the SAVE Act.
My hope is that we can get this passed in the House of Representatives tomorrow and that we can find ways to push this forward and to give Biden no choice.
People were saying you shouldn't be doing this because even if it gets to his desk, he'll veto it.
We don't know that.
I would like to see him have to make that choice.
How would he explain that to the American people?
Yes, I'm vetoing this.
Because what?
You want non-citizens to vote?
One of many examples, Benny, of the fact that libs can't meme.
benny johnson
And you know it wouldn't be Joe Biden.
You know it'd be Jill holding the pen kind of over his shoulder, kind of scrawling, right?
Be vetoed in Crayon.
It'd be very embarrassing.
mike lee
So it would be inspired by the First Lady music in the background.
benny johnson
Oh, man!
That song!
How do you...
I mean, that's like a Disney Plus series.
For three-year-olds, they wouldn't approve that as like the intro music.
I don't know how they got that passed, the First Lady, but here we are.
Maybe it's the Parkinson's.
You never know.
So speaking of people who are old and out of touch, why aren't 100% of your colleagues on board with this, Senator?
mike lee
Well, look, all Republican senators certainly should be on board with it.
We don't have 100% co-sponsorship.
Co-sponsorship doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't vote for it.
I would hope, I would expect all Republicans in the Senate should be able to support this.
The question is, what about the Democrats?
Why haven't we seen a single Democrat come out in open support of it yet?
The more we get people talking about this, the more that the Sherrod Browns and the Bob Casey's and the John Testers, all of whom are up for re-election, are going to have to address that.
And even those who are not up for re-election, how are they going to explain to their constituents back home, nah, I'm really not concerned about people having to prove citizenship as a condition for voting in a federal election?
That's why the discussion matters so much.
Regardless of the ultimate outcome and regardless of whether you think that there is a clear path to it getting passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by President Biden, we must try.
If we don't try, we don't even put people on record.
We don't know who to hold accountable.
benny johnson
I love the wartime tactics here.
We told Chip Roy yesterday.
The wartime tactics are great because you are finally, finally, Republicans have found their balls and are forcing an issue.
They're like, oh, okay, we're going to actually put you on blast here and we're going to force you to vote against this untenable situation.
I mean, Elon Musk's been going...
Bananas on this.
I can't believe how hardcore he's gone on X supporting you.
And how is Jon Tester going to travel back to Montana and explain this?
You can't.
There's no way to explain this to the people of Ohio for Sherrod Brown.
And so I just love that.
Hopefully there's more of this, right?
Like use these tactics against the Democrat Party and make them actually take stances on their positions.
Because they're quite repulsive to the American people.
I think we have a poll here.
ALX, you posted it.
The last thing I want to say on this issue, Senator, is the American people support you.
Something like 80% of the American people want citizenship verification, according to recent polling.
So that alone should send shockwaves, obviously, through Congress.
And now if we can just message it correctly, I think we can actually get this done.
mike lee
No, that's exactly right.
And God bless Elon Musk, by the way.
Who now runs America's number one and most trusted news source.
X, look, the fact that Elon is willing to speak out on this and the fact that he owns a platform that allows people to speak out on this disempowers the mainstream news media who would otherwise be telling Americans, oh, that thing that you think you want, these aren't the droids you're looking for.
It's not actually good for you.
And look, we don't have to...
Drown out all those messages.
All we need are opportunities to speak the truth.
And on your show, on X, and on a handful of other platforms and websites, people are able to speak the truth.
And that's why the American people are calling for this more and more.
We're going to make a difference with this.
benny johnson
Look at the Pew Research Center.
Senator, like, when was the last time you were on the preponderance of the polling side of the Pew Research Center, of all places?
mike lee
This is proof that the apocalypse is at hand.
benny johnson
Dominance.
81%.
It's even better.
Better than 80%.
81%, Senator, supports you.
So I hope you guys drive this home.
I hope you keep coming on this program.
We will absolutely, like, lend a shoulder and lend all of our muscle into getting this passed.
Everyone says, we're going to save America.
This is literally saving America.
Thank you, Senator, for your fight on this.
mike lee
Thanks so much.
I'll keep you updated.
I post regularly on X at Based Mike Lee about the Save X. You can follow it there.
benny johnson
There he is.
250,000 followers!
Senator!
Quarter million!
mike lee
Woo, baby!
All this after less than two years ago.
Some guy at a Turning Point conference suggested that I do my own Twitter account, because it was still Twitter then, we can call it that.
benny johnson
Yeah, I still owe your staff an entire Sam's Club package of Xanax for doing this.
mike lee
My poor staff, they put up with it well, but it's been a lot of fun.
So thank you for suggesting Face Mike Lee.
benny johnson
Thank you, Senator.
Godspeed.
mike lee
Thank you.
unidentified
Thank you.
you you One of the good guys.
benny johnson
One of the good guys.
Man, gotta tell you, we love having good guys on the program.
So, we have not, we have not yet, yet, yet, booked Donald Trump for our exclusive interview.
I can tell you, Since all of the Trump children have been on the show, and all the Trump campaign has been on the show, and Trump's spokesperson has been on the show a bunch of times, and all the Trump allies have been on the show, we will endeavor to book Donald Trump for our program, and I have every indication that we shall be victorious.
Alex has been at this program for a long time, man.
We have seldom failed in our missions at this show.
Through a lot of hard work, grit and determination, and the grace of God, we go forward and we've been able to deliver the best that we can.
Now, we wish to deliver you Donald Trump live on this program.
And by hell or high water, hook or crook, all the king's horses, all the king's men, we're going to do it before the election.
You have my word.
We're going to do it before the election.
Might not happen next week at the RNC convention.
He's very busy.
But it's going to happen.
Trust me.
Tonight, we're going to bring you Donald Trump live at his rally.
That rally starts at 7 p.m., so tune in, please.
But now we can bring you Donald Trump live because Donald Trump was live last night.
Perhaps you missed it.
It was a very important interview where he touches on his vice presidential pick and selection, his state of the race with Joe Biden.
And what he believes Kamala Harris has cooking behind the scenes.
We have heard nothing from Donald Trump over the last 10 days, which is silence has been deafening.
But here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
Donald Trump, last night, the interview, his first time breaking his silence, so to speak, on Fox News.
Let's go.
sean hannity
And tonight, chaos is brewing in the Democratic Party as calls for Joe Biden to drop out are growing.
Joining us now for an exclusive interview on the phone, former President Donald Trump.
Mr. President, great to have you, sir.
How are you?
donald j trump
Well, thank you very much, John.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
sean hannity
Let's go back to the debate with you and President Biden, because immediately you can notice his voice was raspy.
But beyond that...
Within minutes, I could tell this was not going to be a good night for Joe Biden.
What was going through your head at that time?
donald j trump
Well, it was a big evening, and you could feel a lot of energy.
Boy, energy like you haven't felt in a long time on any of the debates.
I've done a lot of debates, and we've had great success with debates, but this was something very special for whatever reason.
It just seemed big.
And when I got to Atlanta, and this was at CNN headquarters, there was a lot of excitement.
There were trucks.
I call them the $10 million trucks.
That's with the antennas all over.
And very incredible equipment.
I'm looking at things that are, you know, it's just more of a scene than it normally would be.
And it really was that way right from the start, right from the moment they introduced us.
And then they introduced him.
And introduced me, and I walked out on his arm, and he looked extremely pale, to put it nicely.
And I don't know, maybe it was a good makeup job, or maybe it wasn't, but he was a very pale-looking man.
And when he started to speak, I don't know, I thought his voice was weak.
I didn't know exactly what was happening.
It was strange.
I do have to say that the CNN, Jake and Dana, were really...
They were pretty good.
I thought they were fair.
I thought they were fair in the questions, I thought to him, to me.
But it was a strange evening, I will tell you.
It was a strange debate, because within a couple of minutes, the answers given by him were, they didn't make a lot of sense.
sean hannity
Well, let me ask you this.
I think some of the worst moments for President Biden were...
When he wasn't talking, there was like this blank, vacant stare.
benny johnson
Parkinson's.
sean hannity
Like he was checked out.
Parkinson's.
I wrote a montage of it.
When you were speaking and you'd look over, did you notice that too?
donald j trump
You know, I was thinking about what I was saying.
I wasn't looking over at him almost at all, except when he went a little bit haywire.
I didn't look at him at all.
And I'm very disappointed in him.
He's the worst president in the history of our country.
We've never had anything like it.
What he's done to our borders, what he's done to our country, inflation, the people that he's hurting.
He's destroying Social Security, destroying Social Security.
And people are, you know, I'm just so upset with him as president.
And so I wasn't really looking over.
I purposely wasn't.
and I did take a couple of peeks when he was in the midst And I'm very disappointed in him.
They're really bad answers.
They weren't even answers.
They were just words put together that had no meaning or sense.
But for the most part, I didn't really look over.
sean hannity
Since before the 2020 election, on radio and TV, I have chronicled the fact that Joe looked weak and frail and that he was a cognitive mess, long before the election in 2020.
The media, I call them state-run media, Democrats.
They're all acting shock, like this just came out of nowhere.
Is this one incident?
Or is it, you know, is this something permanent?
I'm like, did they not notice the guy can't give a press conference?
Did they not notice that he doesn't use the big boy stairs getting on Air Force One?
Did they not notice the plan to surround him as he walks to and from Marine One?
That he wouldn't do a Super Bowl interview?
A layup interview for any president?
What part of his cognitive decline do you think they missed, or did they purposely cover for him in your view?
donald j trump
Well, they cover for him, and they still are sort of covering, but now it's getting very difficult to do that.
It looks to me like he may very well stay, and he's got an ego, and he doesn't want to quit.
He doesn't want to do that.
It just looks to me like that's what he wants.
I think Jill would like to see him stay.
She's having a good time.
I notice he really seems to be having a good time, and I'm hearing that Hunter is calling the shots.
So this isn't necessarily a very positive thing for our country.
But I think he might very well stay in, and if he does, nobody wants to give that up that way.
He's going to feel badly about himself for a long time.
It's hard to give it up that way, the way where they're trying to force him out.
So, I mean, you really have to speak to his doctors, but obviously he's been...
Sheltered by the fake news media.
That's why they call it the fake news.
sean hannity
Do you, Mr. President, do you want Joe Biden to step aside?
Do you care?
donald j trump
Well, we prepared for him, but I don't think it's going to matter.
We had a great four years.
Our border was the strongest ever.
Our economy pre-COVID was incredible, the best ever.
But then when we got hit with the gift from China, the China virus, that came in and we did a fantastic job.
And we got it back where the stock market was actually higher to just prior to COVID coming in.
So, I mean, we've done a job.
The military, we defeated ISIS, took out the worst terrorists in the world and defeated ISIS.
And that was a big thing.
I was told it would take five years and it took us...
A couple of months.
The military is fantastic.
By the way, the military is not woke.
The people at top are woke.
But the military is never going to be woke.
Those are incredible people.
What they did for me in the fight on ISIS.
And then we had no wars.
I mean, I had no wars.
We're heading into World War III, in my opinion, with this man semi-running things.
Because he's not running things.
The people that surround the Oval Office, the people that surround the Resolute Desk, the beautiful Resolute Desk, they're really running.
...things in Washington, I suspect, and it's very bad.
He got them into the warfare and lawfare, many different terms you can use, but basically going after your political opponent, using the Justice Department, using local DAs, using local attorney generals, going after your political opponent.
Nobody's ever seen anything like that.
You know, there are those.
I just read an article that it's been a positive for me, but it's not a positive.
It's very unfair.
It's fighting an unfair battle.
But he's the one that got us into that.
And all these lawsuits you see and everything else, that's all Biden-inspired, meaning Biden people inspired.
And it's, you know, very sad.
I think it's a very sad time for our country.
We're not respected anywhere in the world.
He's not respected.
And our country is in very serious trouble.
And I'll tell you what, if we're not careful, we're going to be right in the middle of World War III.
And that will be a war like nobody's seen before because of the weaponry.
The weaponry is a whole lot different than two army tanks going up against each other.
This is a whole different world.
And we don't have somebody that can properly represent us.
There's no question about that.
sean hannity
What do you make of all the talk that if Biden steps aside or is pushed out, that it would be Vice President Harris?
Do you expect that much would change?
donald j trump
Well, I think that it will be her.
I think they are very concerned about the vote if it's not her.
They are very, very...
I mean, they're gun-shy.
They don't want to do it any other way.
I've actually...
Come to believe that's what they're going to do.
I think she's an ineffective person.
She was in charge of the border.
She's never been there.
She didn't do a good job, and she hasn't done a job on a lot of things.
But it would seem to me that from a political standpoint, that's who they're going with.
They're not even talking about alternatives.
And it seems that if he gets out for whatever reason, and I don't think he wants to get out.
But if he gets out, it will be her.
Interestingly, he's got a lot of power because he's got the delegates.
You know, when you have the delegates, unless he says, I'm getting out, they can't do anything to get him out other than the 25th Amendment.
If they want to do it in a different route, it would be the 25th Amendment.
But let's assume with not very much time left.
You know, there's not much time left.
And then we can straighten out our country.
We'll make our...
We'll make America great again, right?
But there's not a lot of time left.
But I think unless they use the 25th Amendment, which they'd use in a different sense, he has all the power.
He has the delegates.
He doesn't have to get out.
There's nothing they can do to get him out.
So he'll get the nomination.
He got the nomination.
And then they'll have their meeting in Chicago, which, by the way, last week...
117 people were shot and 17 people were killed.
That was last weekend in Chicago.
That's like a war zone.
But they have their convention in Chicago.
And they're obviously very proud of Chicago.
And I love Chicago.
I have investments in Chicago.
But when you look at the crime in Chicago, when you look at what's gone wrong with Chicago, it's not a very good thing to be displaying right now.
sean hannity
I still think every election is about the future.
It's about peace and prosperity.
In this case, it would be about the border.
It will be about the economy, law and order, the green agenda, America's role in the world.
The one issue that pops almost at the top of every poll in the minds of Americans, well, really two.
The border and the economy.
Let's start with the border.
We have nearly 11 million unvetted Joe Biden illegal immigrants in this country from nearly 180 countries.
But many from countries that have terror ties.
Countries like Iran and Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Kazakhstan.
Nearly 60,000 from China in just the last 18 months.
Tens of thousands from Russia.
And I worry that this is now a clear and present danger for the country and that the likelihood the terror cells are probably already here is very high.
I don't think I'm wrong.
I pray to God that I'm wrong.
I don't believe I am.
And the media, Democrats...
You know, have ignored the issue, and they've allowed it to happen, and Biden and Kamala Harris and Mayorkas have all said the borders closed and the borders secure, but they brag about ending the policies that you had in place when they got into power.
I think a preventable problem, I'm worried about our national security like never before.
donald j trump
Well, the one thing you haven't said tonight that you always say is that it's 100% Certain that we're going to have a terror attack, and I agree with you on that.
It's 100% certain.
I mean, we're letting terrorists into our country at a level that we've never seen before.
Terrorists are coming in, and they're coming in, Sean, from mental institutions and insane asylums.
They're coming in from...
Prisons and jails from all over the world, all over the world, not just South America.
They're coming in from the Congo and Africa.
They're coming in from every part of the world.
And some of these parts are rough parts of the world.
And they're pouring into our country as prisoners, as mental patients.
They're coming into our country, and they're coming in also as terrorists.
And this is poisoning our country.
And nobody should have been subjected to this.
They should never have been allowed to do this.
There's nothing good that can come of it.
And we're going to have to get these criminals, and a lot of them are criminals, and very high-level, very bad criminals.
We're going to get them out.
We're going to have the largest deportation in our history, larger than the Eisenhower deportation.
And we have no choice.
I don't want to do that.
But this man has destroyed our country.
And I say in rallies, I'm doing a big one tomorrow at Durrell in Miami.
I say at rallies that...
You could take the ten worst presidents in the history of our country and put them together.
They will not have done the destruction and damage as this man has done.
He's been a horrible president, the worst president, frankly, the worst president in history by far.
And by the way, Jimmy Carter is the happiest guy around because Jimmy Carter now is saying, you know, I mean, he was like a genius compared to what Biden is.
His administration was brilliant compared to the Biden administration.
So it's a very, very sad time in our country.
sean hannity
Let me ask about the economy.
I know that they said from the beginning that Biden's inflation, which they inherited 1.4%, it's up over 20%.
25% of Americans say that they've had to forego meals.
60-plus percent of Americans said that they're gulping water because of Joe Biden's economic policies and Biden's inflation.
How do you fix that?
And how quickly do you think you can fix that?
donald j trump
Well, we have to fix it fast.
And what they're doing is the illegal migrants that are pouring into our countries, many of them are staying in luxury hotels all over our country.
They're being shipped up.
You know, as we say now, every state is a border state, whether it's Idaho or Iowa or Ohio.
It doesn't make any difference.
They're all border because they're pouring through.
One of the stats that was incredible, I actually saw it on you first, was when it came out that we're actually flying them in.
So it's not just a question of these people coming through totally unchecked and unvetted.
They're flying tens of thousands of people into our country, migrants.
And many of these people were not people that were welcome to stay in their countries.
They're coming up here.
And what I originally said, I said, they are not sending their finest.
These are people that are coming from other countries, Sean, where the president, whoever is running the country, including the dictators, they're sending them into our country.
And if you look at Venezuela, their crime is down 72 percent.
Their crime, think of it, down 72 and ours is up.
And we're going to have a new form of crime because these people are just getting comfortable.
They're just getting settled in.
We're going to have a new form of crime and it's called Biden migrant crime.
And that's a new category.
And it's a very serious category.
And it might blow all of our crime out the window because, frankly, you could probably double what I told you those numbers in Chicago with 70 people, 17 people dying this weekend.
Think of it over.
Over a weekend, over a three-day period, four-day period, you had over 100 people shot and 17 people dead.
And that probably doesn't include the migrants, although I guarantee you there was some of that in there, too.
We have a new form.
It's this new category.
And it's going to be very, very serious for a long time to come.
And we have to get them out of our country.
We don't want them out.
They drop them out of their jails and prisons.
We don't want them.
In our country.
It's not sustainable by any country.
sean hannity
You know, it's amazing when you came down that escalator in 2015 and you said some are very good people, they want a better life, and then there are going to be bad people and there'll be murder and rape.
It's unfolding.
You know, look at Lake and Riley on down and young girls being raped in broad daylight.
This young girl in Texas that was killed, the mother of five.
Let me ask you one last question, if I may.
And I know this was last minute.
Thanks for calling in tonight.
And I want to ask you about your VP choice.
How soon do you think you'll be making that choice, number one?
Do it!
Number two, we keep reading that there is a shortlist, and on the shortlist we hear names like Senator Rubio, Senator Tim Scott, Senator J.D. Vance, Governor Burgum.
Are those reports accurate?
Are there other people maybe people aren't paying attention to?
And when do you think you'll announce that?
donald j trump
Well, you know, we started off with a lot of people who have a lot of good people.
As they call it, we have a great bench in the Republican Party.
The names that you mentioned, absolutely, they're under consideration.
And I haven't made final decision, but I have some ideas as to where we're going.
And a little bit, you know, we wanted to see what they're doing, to be honest, because, you know, it might make a difference.
I don't know.
I'm not sure that it would.
But there are those that say Trump's waiting until he finds out what's going to happen with crooked Joe Biden.
And we'll see what happens with Biden.
But, you know, I think probably within the next week, week and a half, probably sometime.
I'd love to do it during the convention.
My people say that's a little complicated.
You know, in the old days, they would announce the vice president during the convention.
Today, with modern-day technology, you can't do things that you could have done 50 years ago very easily.
But probably a little before the convention, but not much.
It could even be during the convention that we do it.
I'd love to do it during the convention.
I think it would be a very interesting build-up and important for the convention.
It would make it even more exciting.
sean hannity
It's going to be amazing in Milwaukee.
If you announced it right now on this show, I think it would make a lot of news.
I'm just saying.
benny johnson
All right, all right.
donald j trump
If I did it, I'd love to do it with you.
But we'll be announcing soon, and I think everybody's going to be very happy.
The choice will be very, very good.
A person that can do a fantastic job as president, because you always have to think of that first, and then second, somebody that helps you get elected.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
sean hannity
Mr. President, thank you for your time tonight.
We appreciate it.
benny johnson
Thank you very much, John.
So definitely the most newsworthy part of all that at the very end is Donald Trump talking about his VP choice and saying that it's dynamic now.
It's very interesting.
Before the debate, Donald Trump was not saying that.
Before the debate, Donald Trump said, I know who my pick is, and it's done.
And now he's saying that it's dynamic and that he would like to do it at a convention, but he's not going to do it at a convention.
He's going to do it earlier.
Well, this is the only week between now and convention.
Convention starts technically on Sunday for the Republican convention.
And we're going to be setting up our equipment on Friday there in Milwaukee.
We're going this week.
So when is Donald Trump going to make that announcement?
He has two events scheduled.
One is tonight.
One is this weekend.
The reason why we play you, Donald, this is sort of like muscle memory for us.
The media censors Trump so much.
And they censor what he says.
And they put gag orders on him and restrictions on him.
So, like, during the Donald Trump trials, whenever Donald Trump would go out and speak, we'd play all that without interruption and without trying to, you know...
Brick in our own personal biases or interjections because everyone's trying to silence Trump, right?
So this is kind of like, the instinct is kind of like, play, let Donald Trump speak for himself, right?
So we're going to be doing that tonight.
And that was quite interesting.
So Trump's VP pick, he says, this guy's got to help me get elected, and it's got to be somebody dynamic.
Well, okay.
Does that mean he's not picking Doug Burgum?
Doug Burgum!
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Burgum!
Sounds like a...
What does Burgum sound like?
A type of mosquito spray?
Something?
I'm not sure.
RV?
Like an RV salesman?
I don't know.
I like...
I like...
It's not that I don't like them.
Just...
I don't...
Like him as vice president, right?
A lot of very interesting picks.
And Doug Burgum is not going to be, like, the mantle carrier for MAGA and America First going forward.
That's kind of what I want, right?
I'm a younger guy, and that's what I want.
So we'll see tonight, okay?
We'll see.
Doug Burgum is the Toyotathon of...
VP candidates, says Klein.
Alright, pretty good.
Alright, ladies and gentlemen.
We wouldn't go this long without one salty lib, okay?
We haven't salted anybody.
And it's very sad for us because the salt must flow.
And we want to be live for KJP.
KJP is going to do another nightmarish press conference.
So we want to be live for that, actually.
So let's salt a lib, ladies and gentlemen.
And then we'll move over to the coverage of KJP here after a short break.
So here we go.
Nicole Wallace.
I believe this is about vice presidents, right?
This is about the vice presidential selection.
Am I wrong here, ALX?
Nicole Wallace, one of the saltiest libs that exists, somebody who clearly sleeps inside of a salt bath, inside of a salty, salty coffin dead.
We don't know.
We don't know Nicole Wallace.
She just seems so...
She's such a nasty person.
Nicole Wallace is crying on live TV about the RNC convention, about Donald Trump's VP, and about literally everything going wrong for her party.
A reminder, this person worked for George W. Bush.
unidentified
Well, we have We have to fix it, right?
nicolle wallace
We have a week.
We'll do our part in these two hours.
Because, I mean, I think one of the places where we could sort of sleepwalk into old structures is next week.
And I'm sure lots of people are thinking, I'll put up a Democrat and a Republican and we'll debate the Republican.
That is not what this convention is.
It is a showcase for a new era of American fascism.
And so the people who should be on sets, I mean, and we'll do it here, but the people who should be on sets all across the country...
Are experts in authoritarianism?
Because what the platform is and what the leader is is not a conservative Republican.
He couldn't care less about conservatism.
He couldn't define it if he had to.
He is an authoritarian in the making.
And that is still, God willing, politically unpopular.
benny johnson
Okay.
He's an authoritarian.
He'll lock up his political enemies and stage a coup and rig elections and force you to get medical therapeutics and healthcare that you don't want, force you to take medicine you don't want in order to work and provide for your family and eat.
He's an authoritarian.
He'll open up our borders to 30 million people to come in here, including the people that have connections to ISIS.
Yeah, total authoritarian so he can win an election!
It's so tiresome.
It's so exhausting.
Serenity now.
Let's do our verse of the day.
There's always a good palate cleanser here, these people.
Verse of the day from Romans 8.18.
I love these Romans verses.
I'm reading through Romans right now.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing to the glory that is to be revealed to us.
We have suffered quite a bit.
And every nation suffers quite a bit.
There is, by the way, no suffering that good men and good women cannot endure.
All throughout history, there has been horrible suffering everywhere on earth.
This is not anything new.
In fact, our sufferings are quite modest by comparison, depending on the era you're looking at.
What stays consistent throughout all of that is obviously our faith in Christ, Christ as king, and our devotion to knowing that we are here on this earth to be salt and light.
To read our Bibles and to be salt and light.
That's why we like salt on this program.
And that's why we keep it light, ladies and gentlemen.
We're going to be live a couple different times later today.
We thank you again for subscribing.
Here's the results of the poll.
Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like everybody thinks that Jill Biden is president and that Joe Biden will not be dropping out.
So 35% and 35% doesn't matter.
Jill Biden is president.
And Joe Biden will never drop out.
That's what I think, too, by the way.
I actually agree.
Dual answers, I agree with both of those.
In fact, there's no way you demand the Marines write you a song, a theme song, and then you decide voluntarily to leave power, to give up power.
Not going to happen.
Not going to happen.
What is going to happen on this program is incredible memes, the dopest memes, the saltiest libs.
And the most winning.
And that's what we do here on The Benny Show.
Here's your meme of the day.
We hope that you march upright and victorious with us.
See you soon.
unidentified
Let me tell you the story I heard from a local state trooper about Joe Biden riding on an Air Force One pooper.
His days were numbered, nobody wanted him around, so he took his cash and went out like D.B. Cooper.
Run, Joe, run into the Amazon.
Take your wife to crackhead, son.
Maybe one day we find your fortune like F.J.B.
Cooper.
Join us in the hunt for truth and light.
At the Benny Show, target's in sight.
Run, Joe, run into the Amazon.
Take your wife and crackhead, son.
Maybe one day we find your fortune like FJB Pooper.
Join us in the hunt for truth.
