The two are campaigning across the country.
From each other.
Vice President Kamala Harris is in North Carolina today.
She has campaign rallies in Charlotte.
Then she heads over to Greensboro.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump's out west speaking this afternoon in Tucson.
The campaign says Trump will address the economy and the rising cost of housing.
Tomorrow he holds a rally in Vegas.
So the two are a continent away.
It's unclear if they'll meet again on the debate stage.
The Harris campaign called for a second debate immediately after the first and say they're entertaining all offers.
Trump says he would do a debate on Fox or NBC, but he first needs to determine whether he wants to because he says he had such a great night Wednesday.
When you don't win, it's like a fighter.
When a fighter has a bad fight, gets knocked out or loses the fight, the first thing he says is, we won a rematch.
So we won the debate according to every poll, every single poll.
I think that are we going to do a rematch?
I just don't know.
We'll think about it.
Democrats say Harris handily topped Trump, who they say she's successfully baited throughout the debate.
So much so, the campaign's even cut a new ad using clips from the debate.
One Biden confidant's pushing a second meeting and says Trump should take the Fox offer.
I think the American people would like to hear more from both of them about what will you do to make us safer and stronger at home and abroad.
And I think she should accept an invitation from Fox.
To come on and debate President Trump.
President Biden also got in on the campaigning yesterday.
There he is wearing a MAGA hat in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, supporting a Trump hat there.
The White House says he gave a hat to a Trump supporter and then took and briefly wore his Trump hat as a sign of national unity.
Trump hat, not a MAGA hat, but back to you guys.
Bottom line is I have nothing in common with the people out there and they have nothing in common with me.
Maybe.
benny johnson
Nobody likes you.
unidentified
You're a d***.
You're a d***.
benny johnson
Maybe nobody likes you.
Have you ever considered that?
You ever considered that, like, perhaps, Kamala, the reason why you've had to power gobble your way through your entire career?
Without a single accomplishment and why nobody on the entire damn wide internet from coast to coast can name a single accomplishment or a reason why they like you, other than the fact that you're a woman and you're black, which is inherently sexist and racist?
Is it because nobody liked you?
Is it actually because you are a truly unlikable person?
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am now, after thinking about it and sleeping on it, I'm fully in favor of Donald Trump doing another debate, but not today!
To Thursday, September 12th, 2024.
But hopefully soon.
I hope that they say yes.
And if Kamala Harris advisors are saying do it on Fox, then let's get ready to rumble again.
Ladies and gentlemen, I gotta tell you, we got an exciting show today.
Trump is culture.
Trump TikTok trend takes over entire internet.
10,000 videos based on a remix of one of Trump's most famous lines during the debate.
The White House is doing damage control after Biden puts on MAGA.
But it proves something a lot deeper about our politics, and I think it's really important and worth discussing.
Senator Roger Marshall joins the show along with Jamie Mitchell.

We're going to have a spicy one today.

Okay, so we saw yesterday this remarkable moment.
I've gotten a minute to process it, and we've also spoken with a number of people who were there inside of the room.
Here's what happened.
President Trump and Joe Biden met in the morning at Ground Zero.
Of course, yesterday was September 11th.
There are a series of things that traditionally a president or presidential candidates do on September 11th.
Donald Trump and Joe Biden met.
Do we have that, Alex?
They met at...
Let's make sure that we get this, because I want to set up the entire day.
I want to go through the entire timeline of the day, because this is really, really important.
President Trump, after the debate, went and did media in the spin room.
Kamala Harris was nowhere to be found.
Donald Trump was out taking questions from the press for another hour himself in the spin room, which was quite interesting.
Then Donald Trump was up early in the morning doing interviews on Fox and did a call-in to Fox News.
Donald Trump did a call-in, talking about where and when the next debate could be, and then President Trump was quickly at an event with Joe Biden at Ground Zero.
There next to the reflecting pool.
This is a very interesting event because, well, there were a number of people who were chanting for President Trump, and I don't think that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris expected Trump to be there.
unidentified
Here's what it'll look like.
benny johnson
So there's Donald Trump standing there, Kamala Harris.
Donald Trump looking great, I mean, honestly.
I gotta tell you, it was wonderful to see.
It was very much a show of force, and he, according to lip readers, mouthed to Kamala Harris, good job last night, he said.
Good job last night at the debate.
Donald Trump has fans, even right there in downtown Manhattan.
President Trump announcing more rallies in New York.
So this was President Trump mogging from the get yesterday.
Now, of course, there are some things that deserve to be politicized and some things that don't deserve to be politicized.
Donald Trump going and walking into firehouses and police stations throughout New York.
This isn't really politicizing.
Donald Trump is somebody who actually defends these people and sees these people as deserving of defense.
Kamala Harris instead fundraises.
For the criminals, the criminals who hurt the cops and the firefighters.
You can see here President Trump breeding cops and firefighters at the fire station in New York.
John Jr. there, President Trump conquering hero there, endorsed by the National Police Union, and so on.
So this is something that is normal to do on September 11th.
Presidential candidates then will head into or out of Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Where another one of the hijacked planes crashed into a field.
There's a memorial, a national memorial there, talked about the national parks and so on.
But Shanksville, Pennsylvania is a very, very rural area.
This is a photo of President Trump there in Shanksville with what looks like, I think, Pennsylvania State Troopers.
Yeah.
So the Pennsylvania State Troopers, Donald Trump, posing proudly with them inside of sort of this large shed.
So I want to just sort of set this up.
It's like, what?
What was happening and why?
Because many people were like, that's fake.
Joe Biden didn't put on a MAGA hat.
There's no way.
Yeah, he did.
Yes, he did actually do this.
And not only that, our team has spoken with many people who were actually inside of the room when it happened.
And we have the full background and the full story.
Really, really interesting.
Joe Biden was called an old fart, in fact, part of this.
It's too good.
It makes you love America.
And we're a show that actually does certainly enjoy these more human moments in politics.
And I mean, I know this is going to shock many listening right now.
I think this actually makes Joe Biden look great.
I think this makes Joe Biden look great.
I'm going to say something that's going to get me in huge trouble, potentially.
Please don't come for me in the chat.
We love the chat.
We love you.
unidentified
Big heart to the chat.
benny johnson
But this is Joe Biden's best moment as president.
This is Joe Biden's best moment.
This is where the mask finally falls and slips.
And I think they're having, you know, mask with Joe Biden.
You know, is it really Joe Biden?
Is it Jim Carrey playing Joe Biden?
Yeah, which Joe Biden is it?
My favorite is number four, but it could be number two.
Nonetheless, I will tell you, and I can confidently say this is Joe Biden's best moment as resident of the White House.
Something remarkable has happened with Joe Biden.
And it is almost like...
The guy has been allowed to revert back to his programming for the last 50 years, which made him, although he's a doofus, made him a very popular senator.
And the reason why Barack Obama chose the guy was because of his ability to grip and grin, they call it in politics.
Grip and grin, right?
You press the flesh.
You push.
You relate with people.
You connect with people.
It's what makes Donald Trump so powerful.
And why Donald Trump handily beats Hillary Clinton and why I believe he's going to handily beat Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris is no good at this.
She's incredibly cringe.
Yeah, sure, she can vomit out rehearsed, practiced lines that she has repeated into a mirror or that have come through her earphone.
We have a comment on that.
Actually, the company that makes the headphones have commented on the speculation that Kamala Harris wore a headphone.
It's too good.
It's all too good.
We'll get to it later in the show.
It's too funny.
But there's something remarkable that has happened as Joe Biden has been shibbed in the back by his own party, has been utterly used as just a human corpse, a cadaver politically, and then thrown into the dumpster.
I think that all of that ratcheted up pressure has caused a factory reset in Joe Biden.
And something really neat has happened.
So let's jump into what actually happened yesterday.
So we have this photo of Joe Biden wearing the MAGA hat.
Here's the photo of Joe Biden wearing the MAGA hat.
This is what initially everybody said.
Man, I don't think it's fake.
It's AI or something.
unidentified
No, no, no.
benny johnson
This is 100% real.
The hat says Trump 2024.
And this, of course, rocketed around the Internet.
So there's the backup, OK, for all of this.
The backstory is that this is a real event.
This is a real firehouse.
This is near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
And that Donald Trump and Joe Biden visited this location yesterday.
Now, here's what happened that caused Joe Biden to wear this MAGA hat.
One of the patrons there, I don't know if the man is a firefighter.
I don't know the identity of the man.
He's an older guy.
And he was joshing.
He was, like, breaking Biden's balls.
You know?
He was, like, joking with Joe Biden.
And then Joe Biden asks for his MAGA hat.
Now, here's the tweet.
We got a different angle of this, and we put up the tweet because we were the first ones to break this thanks to a friend of ours who was actually in the room when this happened.
And she got the initial video and audio, but it's not as good.
But I want to show you.
We were the first people to break this news, and we got this video sort of like from behind, a little bit grainy.
We added captions to it, and this thing went thermonuclear.
What we did was we used AI to sort of isolate the audio and find out that this old guy was not only breaking Joe Biden's balls, but that Joe Biden asked for the hat.
Make sure we put up the video, guys.
Asked for the hat.
And then that Joe Biden, that Joe Biden effect, this is not the one.
Gentlemen.
Gentlemen.
ALX, hop in there, please.
Joe Biden asked for the hat.
And then had the guy call him an old fart.
And then everyone laughed at Joe Biden.
It's a really, really funny moment.
And it's a moment that maybe you might look at and be like, this is the video that was sent to us that sort of added some more context to it, where Joe Biden says he's not going to put on the hat.
Then Joe Biden puts on the hat.
Everybody cheers for him.
Do we have this loaded?
And then the guy goes, I'm proud of you, you old fart.
Now, this is a line that went rip-roaring around the internet.
The guy calling Joe Biden an old fart.
And then Joe Biden keeps the MAGA hat.
He, like, trades the MAGA hat with the guy.
Joe Biden actually instigated this.
unidentified
I don't know.
Yeah, what?
No.
Put it on.
What?
There's no net going.
Yeah, it's better.
This is gonna be a penalty.
There he is.
There you go.
I'll try you now.
You know what I'm talking about?
Go to the world of death.
benny johnson
Alright, so this is the video that we were sent.
By a dear friend of us who also sent us some other very unique and interesting moments from yesterday.
And we'll get to that in just a second.
But now we've seen, now we have clearer video of this that doesn't need AI to sort of break it down, where Joe Biden is putting on the MAGA hat.
And we're going to explain, like, why this is important and what's actually happening here in just a second.
But here is the clearer video.
unidentified
I like to get my presidential hat.
Presidential seal on it.
You want to autograph it?
Oh, sure, I'll autograph it.
Huh?
Do you remember your name?
I don't remember my name.
I'm slow.
You're an old fart.
You're an old fart.
Yeah, I know, man.
I'm an old guy.
benny johnson
And you're an old fart, right?
unidentified
I know you wouldn't know about that.
What?
I'm being old.
Oh, I know.
All right.
I'm a young-timer.
He reminds me of the guys I grew up with.
There's always one in the neighborhood.
There you go, man.
I need that hat.
You want my autograph?
Hell no.
You got mine, man.
Come on.
I ain't going that far.
Instead, we'll do a selfie.
There you go.
Yeah!
Hey, I'm proud of you now.
Huh?
Just remember, there's no eating dog and cats.
Ah.
Hey, they're good.
Thank you.
They're good.
Kentucky Fried, pick them.
I hope you like the pizza.
benny johnson
What an amazing moment.
I mean, are we, like, able to...
Have we lost all of our humanity?
Are we able to see ourselves and our fellow countrymen as human?
Yes, there are people who are demons.
You'll get that straight dish from this program.
I'm not trying to humanize the people that are actually for demonic activity, human sacrifice, and so on.
But I'm telling you that what you saw there, with Joe Biden putting on that hat, is not this guy.
This, this was a caricature.
This is what they forced Joe Biden to do.
Remember the blood-red Hitlerian MAGA speech from Joe Biden?
Remember this?
Where Joe Biden goes off, he's in Pennsylvania here.
He goes off for like 90 minutes.
And this is, of course, not apologizing for Joe Biden.
Joe Biden is, much like Kamala Harris, a creature of a system.
A empty husk that has to give things up and has to become something else in order to see...
It becomes a projection of the actual real power behind them.
This is why they hate Donald Trump, because he's not an empty suit.
He's not a projection of the real power.
What I think is quite remarkable is that what this moment proves, and can we show Joe Biden with the MAGA hat?
So what this moment proves, what the opposite of this moment proves, is that it was all bullshit!
I don't like to swear, and I don't like to yell, but I can't help myself in this moment.
If you actually believed that MAGA and America First and Donald Trump was what you said it was in this speech, In the Hitlerian screaming, banging the desk, red blood behind you.
If you actually believed this, if you actually believed it, then of course you'd never touch.
You'd never touch a MAGA hat.
Put it up, Klein.
You'd never touch a MAGA hat.
If you believed what you saw, what you were saying in this speech, if you were actually in your heart, in your blood, in your veins, If you thought, if you believe even a little bit of scintilla of it, you would have never put on the MAGA hat.
It proves you were lying.
It proves you were a creation.
You were being, it's not to Biden's credit, quite frankly, because as a man, you should never do this, of course.
Sell your soul out.
But now that Joe Biden, now that the machine has moved on and Joe Biden has no utility any longer, Then now it turns into this.
Now Joe Biden is allowed to simply sit there and humanize and laugh with his fellow Americans, which is actually what made Joe Biden quite popular and famous.
He's always been a doofus and quite low intelligence, obviously.
But it's what made Joe Biden famous and quite liked by all of his colleagues in the Senate.
This is what most people say about Joe Biden.
So what we've seen for the last four years is simply the dark energy that has been pumped through Joe Biden.
As an empty shell about MAGA.
What you're seeing there with him wearing his Trump hat is, of course, proof that it was all a lie.
Because if you believed any of it, you would never touch Trump hat.
You'd never even be talking about a Trump supporter.
And I think that this is a wonderful thing to actually see.
Where's the true darkness?
And that these people don't believe any of it.
It's all for power.
And it's a very mask-off moment.
Now, if Joe Biden's mask was actually off, would he be Jim Carrey?
Sure.
Probably.
That's actually one of my favorite theories on Earth.
But this isn't the only human...
This isn't a moment of, like, total breakdown for Joe Biden.
Joe Biden went up to a bunch of kids.
And a bunch of kids wearing Trump gear.
Look at this photo.
These kids are wearing I'll be back Trump gear, with Trump as the Terminator, saying I'll be back.
Jesus is my savior, Trump is my president.
These are what these shirts say.
And Joe Biden's sitting there joking with the kids.
I spoke with the mom!
I know this.
Joe Biden's joking, joshing with the kids.
One of the kids is wearing a shirt that says Dumb and Dumber and has Joe Biden's face on it.
You know the movie Dumb and Dumber, Jim Carrey.
I'm sure Jerry's cooking up memes right now like crazy.
Here we go.
Here's the shirt.
This is what one of the kids was wearing in that photo.
And according to the mother, Joe Biden goes over, points at the shirt and goes, I guess I'm dumber.
Come on.
That's great.
That's funny.
What is this?
Donald Trump's sort of known for these moments.
These, like, very humanizing, like, roll-with-it moments where he jokes, you know, he laughs, he, like, goes, he's in on the joke, right, when you see Donald Trump host Saturday Night Live, which he used to be allowed to do.
This was humanizing for Trump.
Trump would appear in bits that were making fun of him.
There's, like, a famous one where, like, Trump walks in, and they're all making fun of him, and rush-a-rush-a-rush-a, and everything like that.
And it's humanizing.
He's really, like...
When you lean into the joke and you're part of the joke, then you're no longer like the butt of the joke.
Here's Joe Biden being like, hey, come on, man, I guess I'm dumber.
It's great.
Scroll down, please.
So this is Joe Biden's response.
Please keep going.
There's video of it.
It's very hard to hear.
It's almost inaudible.
Did you say we have it?
Here, you can listen to it.
unidentified
Very short video.
benny johnson
I mean, I think it's charming.
Good for them.
Good for him.
Oh, hold on.
We're not doing that yet.
We have Donald Trump's response to all this because Donald Trump met the kid 30 minutes later.
Donald Trump signed the shirt right on Joe Biden's face.
So Donald Trump goes and takes his giant sharpie and does a giant Trump signature.
Right on the face of Joe Biden in that Dumb and Dumber shirt.
unidentified
It's like...
Isn't this better?
benny johnson
Isn't it better to be able to laugh at ourselves?
This is a show.
This is a team.
You're currently watching a program that we employ full-time meme makers.
We employ full-time graphic designers and people that are really great at creating internet and internet culture.
I am probably the butt of 90% of the jokes at this company.
I deserve it.
I deserve to be memed.
I deserve it.
I deserve the humiliation.
We do things.
I do things that are deserving of ridicule.
I get it.
I'm fully aware.
And that's the joke.
That's part of the joke.
It's humanizing.
And it's good.
And it's nice to see.
It's like what you do with your family at Thanksgiving.
Crack open a couple beers, everyone eats some turkey, throw the pigskin around, everyone breaking each other's balls.
That's what we used to have in this country, and it's a good thing.
How did we get all so hyper-serious all of a sudden?
We're not allowed to talk about certain things.
We're not allowed to talk about it.
Oh, don't say that!
Don't do that!
unidentified
Oh!
benny johnson
Oh, my feelings are hurt!
Shut up!
You were born, your feelings were born hurt.
You're an American.
This is the point of the country.
And it's nice to see.
And it's nice to see.
I hope I'm not getting destroyed too much in the comment section for pulling punches on Biden here.
But I think that it's really enjoyable to see that dark energy, those dark forces that take over somebody who's trying to run for president on behalf of the blob and on behalf of these people who control everything.
It's nice to see...
The disintegrationists move on.
The parasites move on to another host, which is Kamala Harris now.
And free up Joe Biden to do this, to wear the MAGA hat.
Joe Biden wearing the MAGA hat, man.
Look at everyone laughing.
Good on you.
Doesn't absolve you of the last four years.
Still think there should be trials.
But it is nice.
It is a nice thing to see.
You know, it's also kind of an interesting thing to see is the way that the internet has absorbed and, like, processed all this.
Because leave it to the internet and to shows like ours and to the culture that we represent here, which is remix culture and trying not to take ourselves too seriously, right?
And trying to, like, laugh at ourselves.
And that's what, like, being human means.
In fact, you want to live in a country where everyone can laugh at each other.
Dave Chappelle has an incredible bit about this, where he's talking about people being offended by his jokes, members of protected communities that are offended by his jokes.
And he's talking about how actually joking about, joking with people and about people is humanizing.
When there are jokes you're not allowed to say, or things you're not allowed to say, Well, that makes everyone very prickly.
It makes people upset.
It makes people judge you and look at you differently and set you aside and cast you out.
In fact, laughing with everyone and bringing them in, laughing at them and with them.
The guy calls Joe Biden an old fart.
He does it twice.
This old geezer reminds me in no small part of my own grandfather.
And I was raised in the middle of nowhere.
Does your grandfather act and behave like this?
It's amazing.
Can we just roll the video?
Like, this is the high-quality one, please.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Well, let's load it as a play beside.
This guy, this old geezer, this guy is saying twice to Joe Biden that you are an old fart.
Twice.
And I think that's like, come on.
Don't you want to live in a country where you can call the president an old fart when he's really old?
And Joe Biden goes, yeah, I know, man.
Then Joe Biden makes a joke about eating cats and dogs.
Okay?
So that's the next thing we've got to talk about.
So Joe Biden says, Joe Biden says, don't eat cats and dogs at the end of this clip.
In an amazing moment here, let's, here we go.
unidentified
I need that hat.
You want my autograph?
Hell no.
You don't do that on my name.
Come on.
I ain't going that far.
Yeah.
Instead, you're doing a selfie.
There he goes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey.
You old fart!
No eating dogs and cats!
They're good.
benny johnson
Says Joe Biden.
Dude, okay, so last takeaway from all of this.
Joe Biden saying that as a joke is remarkable because right now, Donald Trump's commentary on eating dogs and cats, maybe you liked it, maybe you didn't, this is one of the biggest trends on Earth.
There is an entire subculture, remix culture, that exists on a platform called TikTok.
And maybe part of the reason why they want to ban TikTok is because it's very hard to control that remix culture.
Now, I'm not advocating for TikTok.
I'm not super active on it.
We do have an account, but I'm not super active on it.
I haven't really tried.
But I do know this.
That when my team, like, wakes me up and is, like, screaming at me, there is a trend with 10,000 different posts about Donald Trump saying, don't eat dogs and cats, and it's getting remixed, and, like, 18-year-old kids are dancing to it across the internet.
We gotta investigate.
So here's what we found, ladies and gentlemen.
Joe Biden, with his commentary, don't eat dogs and cats, was making a joke about what Donald Trump said at the debate.
The real joke's on Democrats.
Because what Donald Trump has done is create, one, a massive trending search topic.
This was one of the top searches in America.
Are people eating dogs and cats?
Okay?
So, Donald Trump, by saying that, it brings an enormous amount of attention to it.
And it's very reverse Streisand effect, what ABC News did, by screaming at the top of their lungs, no, it's not happening!
Yeah.
But there's something even more powerful than the humiliating ABC News fact checks.
And that is, Well, dropping a banger.
Listen to this.

The dogs are eating the cats.
Eat the cat.

benny johnson
So this goes on and on and on.
The original song.
The original song looks like this.
unidentified
This is the power of Trump.
benny johnson
The power of Trump.
Shut up, dude.
The power of Trump is the power of culture.
This is why they hate Trump so much.
And don't let them tell you otherwise.
Very few people are given the kind of cultural prestige, riches, and fame that Donald Trump has reached without being fully and totally in control.
Donald Trump is somebody who has international fame, international power, hundreds of millions of followers on social media, and he's a billionaire.
Now, normally, if you were to have those things, you have to be somebody who's completely and totally subservient to the system, like Taylor Swift.
Somebody who's talentless.
Somebody who will do whatever the machine wants them to do.
Somebody who will, like, literally vomit out, like, the same album every two years and mobilize and bring together, like, hundreds of...
Hundreds of thousands of young women to effectively listen to the programming, right?
This is the point.
And if you don't follow those trends, if you are an Elon Musk, if you are a Kanye West, right?
If you break out of that system, then expect the entire machine to have an antibody reaction to you.
Donald Trump is one of those people that broke out of the system and did something he's not supposed to.
Donald Trump used to donate to Democrats.
He used to donate.
He used to be part of the machine.
And Donald Trump decided, no, like, F this.
This is trash.
I'm going to break out.
I'm going to do my, like, I'm going to actually, from outside of the machine, I'm going to work to destroy the machine.
He did this with Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton was the machine candidate.
Donald Trump's cultural power, because Trump is culture.
Is a existential threat that they have never faced before.
Ever.
Donald Trump being able to say comments like this on a stage and have immediately young women like dancing to Trump's commentary about the dangers and the threats to our culture and our society from unmitigated criminal illegal immigration brought to us by our current leaders.
This is the sum of all fears.
This is the single scariest thing for the machine possible because it cannot be controlled.
Trump is culture.

Don't listen to a lot of rap music.

Where's the...
I want to show me the number of people...
There it is.
The number of people that have posted dances to this song.
It would take us the next 20...
Years.
To go through the number of accounts that have shared this song and are dancing and remixing to this song.
This is a small screen record of the 10,000 accounts that have now uploaded and are either reacting to and or dancing to this song.
And what is this going to do?
What it's going to do is it's going to cause people to search into what is this about exactly?
Can somebody please explain it to me?
What's actually going on here?
Is there a greater overall scandal?
Oh, wow.
The ducks are disappearing inside of this small town.
The ducks and the animals are disappearing inside of this A little place that didn't normally have this problem.

They keep telling me that this is the dance.
That this is the official dance with the cat and that they're eating them.
Okay, well, they're going to tell you, they're going to call you a conspiracy theorist for this.
Yet, shockingly, it turns out that the people who are wrong about this, after all of this, is ABC News.
So, now the TikTok trend is more accurate than the ABC News moderators during the debate.
Here we go.
Check this out.
This is the police reports.
Here are the police reports that show that there have been multiple calls for Haitian migrants who have been stealing geese from the parks.
This is directly from our executive producer, ALX.
Two men, two women, all Haitian, each had one goose, four geese stolen from the park.
Toyota, newer model, went toward downtown.
And the complaint is that they were stealing the geese From the parks.
This has, of course, been backed up by, I guess now, hundreds of different interviews with people inside of the city itself.
We posted a video.
Grab that post because we went thermonuclear yesterday.
We posted a video from Tyler Oliveira, who's another YouTuber, who is an excellent, excellent independent journalist.
And he dropped a video 30 straight minutes.
If you're watching this on YouTube, I encourage you to go check out his channel.
He dropped a video, 30 straight minutes, of members of the Springfield community saying, yeah, our pets are going missing.
ABC News, there's no evidence of migrants eating pets.
YouTuber, here's 30 minutes of accounts of residents saying that their pets are disappearing.
First-hand accounts.
These are the people who live in Springfield, Ohio.
ABC News has never sent a report.
Does anybody find a reporter in Springfield, Ohio, from any corporate media outlet?
Is there even the slightest curiosity in this?
ABC News.
Quick, let's talk about your race!
Quick, let's talk about climate change!
Police reports.
First-hand videos.
Men at the city council saying this?
I'm sure this man is right.
Okay, here we go.
We have a clip of this.
I'm sure this man will be called racist by the corporate press.
Here we go.

Really challenge you guys to get out here and do something?
These Haitians are running into trash cans.
They're running into buildings.
They're running into...
They're flipping cars in the middle of the street.
I don't know how y 'all can be comfortable with this.
I don't know who's getting paid from it.
I honestly feel like someone's getting paid from it in the background.
You got a bunch of people on a bus getting dropped off at a gas station to come down here.
know a single mom that FaceTime me tonight FaceTime me this morning at the welfare office that really need like that really need something and it's nothing but immigrants over there and I don't even want to like seem like I'm coming down on an immigrants because it's the people that's bringing them down here because wherever they're at that's what they're used to bro they're in the park grabbing up ducks by the They're eating the cats.

Who's right?
Who are the ones...
Look, who's telling the truth?
What an amazing time that we live in.
Really remarkable.
Joe Biden wearing MAGA hats.
TikTok trends with girls dancing to Donald Trump.
And Donald Trump, speaking more truth about the American people, about what we are suffering through, than hours of fact-checking on the corporate press.
I await, this is how you know, the use of resources.
This is how you know what they wish to cover and what stories they wish to push.
If they spend resources on covering a story, I work in corporate media.
I've worked in news.
I've lived in Washington, D.C. I've done hits from the ABC studio.
This is the indicator that they are interested in a story.
Will they send a reporter to Springfield?
Are there any corporate media reporters in Springfield asking people what exactly is going on there?
Or do we just have Tyler Olivera or do we just have YouTubers and some other great independent reporters?
That are asking this.
This post, by the way, did tens of millions of views yesterday.
So it's 12 million views.
54,000 likes, 160,000 retweets.
Well, that's power.
And they're terrified of it.
They're scared.
This is why they're attacking independent media.
This is why they attack Trump.
They can't allow people to actually know the truth.
But the truth is...
And this is quite remarkable, that the more people see about Kamala Harris, the less popular she gets, the more people understand the struggles that regular Americans are going through, which of course are completely documented, that 20,000 Haitians were dropped into a small Ohio county that is a Republican county, and that there was no plan.
That's a matter of fact, and not a matter of speculation at all.
And that Americans have died because of that.
I mean, imagine, like, not caring about that.
This is why Kamala Harris' national polls have eroded into nothing, effectively.
National poll Kamala Harris' five-week lead has completely and totally evaporated.
Oh my, check this out.
Kamala Harris' poll, the pollster, is now, which poll is this?
YouGov Economist?
My goodness.
YouGov Economist?
The economists are showing that Kamala Harris' lead is gone?
This is dangerous times.
This is very, very scary times for Team Kamala.
Nate Silver's economic model asking, are you better off than you were four years ago?
Man, Trump remains the strong favorite of 23 points on Kamala Harris to win the Electoral College because it really doesn't, frankly, matter.
Like, what you thought of the debate, I don't think most people are actually going to...
What you thought of the debate, I don't think most people are actually going to...
I think that they've decided that the last four years of their lives sucks.
And I think that's all that matters.
That's why the Senate is set to flip to GOP control.
Thank God.
I mean, there's, I think, quite easy to win Senate races.
And it's why every single poll still shows...
Still regularly shows that the GOP is set to potentially have unified control of government on election day.
Again, I fully endorse President Trump doing another debate.
I do.
I think that it'll be good.
And I think it should, like, Donald Trump should dictate the rigors of the debate.
It should be moderators, platform, live audience.
I think those kind of things should, they do.
This debate was so sanitized, so stale.
It was a three-on-one, like, journalistic assassination attempt, as we've called it.
And Donald Trump should do it.
I think the more that people see, the better it gets.
And we've proven that today.
Biden's wearing Trump hats, man.
Like, Donald Trump's the number one trend on TikTok.
The clips of Donald Trump's closing, opening statements, this stuff is, like, kinetic and it's going thermonuclear viral after this debate.
And by the way, all independents that are polled about this and all polling groups that watch this debate said Trump came out on top.
Trump won.
Trump won independence.
Three to one after this debate.
Correction.
Two to one.
30% thought Kamala won.
60% are now more likely to vote for Trump after this debate.
So you tell me who's speaking on behalf of the American people.
And we hope that we deliver a Republican Senate.
To President Trump.
He's going to need.
He's going to certainly need that.
And we won't have Mitch McConnell as leader of the Senate.
That would be awesome.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Joining us right now is a senator.
Senator from a great state of Kansas.
The great Dr. Roger Marshall joins the program live.
unidentified
The great Dr. Roger Marshall joins the program live.
benny johnson
How are you doing, doctor?
How are you doing, Senator?
roger marshall
It's a hectic week up here.
The government's going to shut down here in a couple weeks if you haven't heard that yet, but we're just here treading water.
benny johnson
Okay.
At least you're still around treading water.
The geese and the ducks in Springfield, Ohio, they can no longer tread water.
roger marshall
I bet they tasted good.
They're fat.
Those geese, especially in those parks, look really fat.
I bet they were good eating.
benny johnson
I'll tell you this.
I have eaten geese.
You can go buy a goose, right?
You can go buy a duck.
Actually, duck is delicious.
I do not condone grabbing a duck from a park, but you can go to a store and order a duck and cook it.
It's one of my specialties, actually.
It is illegal, though.
The Canadian geese are protected, and the ducks in the park are protected as well.
Don't do that.
Do not endorse.
roger marshall
Yeah, so if you'll come to my freezer, I'll give you some duck and geese left from last hunting season when it was legal, and we're just around the, just, you know, in the middle of October here, about the same time you can go vote in person, duck season will be opening in Kansas, and it's not as good as maybe the duck you had from the store, though.
benny johnson
So, yeah, and I think the one thing that is overrated is pheasant.
I did go pheasant hunting, and I've gone pheasant hunting.
We did it with the...
Governor of South Dakota, Christine Ohm.
And this is not what we're here to talk about, but I've got to say, overrated, I'll take the duck any day.
Okay?
I'll take the duck any day over the fence.
Okay, so here we go.
Let's rock and roll.
The SAVE Act.
Everyone, I know that you've been posting about it.
Why is this even remotely controversial?
It's not going to get through on the CR, I guess, and this omnibus, or this short-term, wherever we're at.
It changes it by the day.
But that is a...
Disgrace I think.
roger marshall
Yeah, I think the why is because the Democrats want to take these 12 million people that they've ushered across the border and let them vote.
That's been the whole purpose of this.
Why else would they want 12 million people to illegally cross our border?
They're willing to watch 300 Americans die from fentanyl poisoning to accomplish the situation here.
So that's why they're fighting it, is they want these illegal aliens to vote.
There's nothing else you can conclude from it.
To me, it's common sense.
is there anything more important to the survival, the success of our democracy than election integrity?
I wish we could get Tester on record up there.
John Tester in Montana.
Let's get him on record on this.
Let's get Sherrod Brown from Ohio on record.
Kamala Harris.
This would have been a good question to ask Kamala Harris during the debate.
Do you think illegal aliens should be allowed to vote or not?
benny johnson
Yeah.
How is that remotely controversial?
So here's the best allegory that I've seen, which is...
It is illegal for somebody under the age to buy alcohol.
And on every liquor store, bar, pub, or speakeasy, there's a federal sign that comes from the federal government that says it's illegal to do this, and we're going to mandatory check your ID.
Check your ID.
And I believe that voting is far more sacred and important right here in America than buying booze.
So if we protect that practice, why not protect the other?
roger marshall
Yeah, I think it's that simple.
You have to have an ID to hop on an airplane, to book a hotel room, let alone buy alcohol.
And you sit there, what is the value of the privilege of voting in this great country that we live in?
If you could sign a value to each of those, I think voting...
It's priceless, right?
Remember the old commercials?
Some things are just priceless.
I think the opportunity to vote is priceless.
I'm going to go back and encourage people, find out when early voting starts in your county, in your state, and I sure hope you get in there and vote in person if you can.
benny johnson
Yeah, Kansas is going to...
When does early voting start in Kansas?
roger marshall
October 16th, as a matter of fact.
I just happen to know that.
October 16th, just a couple days after duck season opens.
benny johnson
There you go.
So what about Donald Trump getting another debate shot?
Speaking of blasting away, no questions about President Trump getting attempted assassination and on-air execution, which I think was what some dark forces wanted.
No questions about that at the debate.
Pretty unique and interesting.
Are you in favor of a second debate?
roger marshall
You know, I am, but I'm not expecting it.
I think that they're not going to let Kamala Harris do a meaningful interview the rest of this election.
I think that she has everything to lose by doing another debate.
She's going to continue to hide.
But it's your job and it's my job to expose her for who she is.
We need to keep showing videotapes of her speaking, talking about...
She introduced, as far as I know, the terms of cashless bail and defund the police.
We need to make sure that everybody recalls she's the person that allowed 12 million people to come into this border illegally.
So regardless of what happens to the debate, we have to continue to expose her.
I'd love to see it, but I think it needs to be on the home field.
I don't think we should go out of our way to do a debate just to do a debate.
I think that we should be on our home field at a Fox News or maybe live on your podcast, Vinny.
benny johnson
We'll do it in Kansas.
That's fine.
We'll go right to the heart of the country in a beautiful, waving wheat field.
Although the crops are all gone now, right?
At this point?
Yeah.
roger marshall
Okay, so the corn's still in the field, the milo's still in the field, and we're just now planting wheat.
So it's kind of a year-round season going on.
benny johnson
All right.
Well, I'm from corn country, so I know approximately right around now the combines start turning.
And we're looking at your profile, and you seem to be one of the only senators on X that is asking real questions about this assassination attempt with Donald Trump, of which we have zero answers.
Zero real accountability.
And you're saying that you want a full-on open investigation.
Why is this even hard?
Why do you have to demand this, Senator?
roger marshall
That's a great question.
It's been two months now, by my calculations, two months, and no one is really giving us any answers.
And I know that there's an investigation underway, but I still think there's answers they could give us.
For instance, in 2022...
48% of the Secret Service officers resigned from the Secret Service.
48%.
So what is going wrong with that culture that half of your agents would leave?
It just doesn't make any sense to anybody.
Is there any type of protocols out there that say, look, former President of the United States, he's in a crowd.
How many feet away or yards should we be securing a direct line of sight?
This assassination attempt occurred some 135 yards.
I was just on chat GPT just a second ago talking about censorship and I wanted to look up the date when President Trump got shot in the ear.
They're denying that he got shot in the ear.
And this is exactly what Google was doing as well.
If you would Google Donald Trump assassination attempt, it would take you to Truman, President Truman.
I don't recall an assassination attempt on President Truman, but I'm sure it happened at some point in time.
So this nationwide...
The suppression of the truth continues, that the national media is controlled by the Democrats or vice versa.
I'm not sure who's controlling who.
And just to circle back, yes, I don't know why we have to ask.
I don't know why we don't have answers from the inspector general yet.
I couldn't be more frustrated.
benny johnson
Why cremate the body?
I mean, again, it just looks suspicious, all right?
And there's no such thing as a conspiracy theory, in my opinion.
There's just theories.
And you prove the theories out, and then you show people the proof.
And when you hide things by its very nature, you're lying to them.
You're lying to the American public.
Now, a guy who has hundreds of millions of supporters, I think you and I can both soundly say, I'm from Iowa, you're from Kansas, there are hundreds of millions of President Trump supporters, right?
And there are at least 75 million people who vote for President Trump and go and cast a ballot for him.
That guy almost died.
And we know now nothing.
And we know nothing.
And this seems like such an egregious failure of our government to tell us the truth.
roger marshall
Yeah.
What I'm encouraging the Trump campaign to do is just show that picture of President Trump getting shot in the air.
He gets knocked down.
He stands up, and what does he say?
Fight, fight, fight.
I mean, that's been so inspiring to me.
Circling back to the debate, forgive me, but there was one clear message out of the debate to me, is which one of those two candidates is going to fight for you, fight for your family to be safe, for the price to get the cost of gas and groceries and rent down?
It's Donald Trump.
That picture needs to be everywhere, especially in those critical 24 counties.
Eight states, 24 counties will decide this election.
That iconic moment is being suppressed by national media.
And again, they didn't talk about it in the debate.
What a brave person.
I really love Melania coming out and starting to share what it's like for her as the spouse of the man who literally took a bullet for this country.
benny johnson
They didn't even ask about it.
Now, you're from the country and from where most of Americans are born and raised, and so am I. And even if you have a beef with somebody, if something bad happens to them, something bad happens to their kid, or if they suffer some loss, you go up to them.
There's a lot of people that are really mean to me on the internet.
Don't care.
Something bad happens to them.
Don't lose your humanity, man.
I'm one of the first guys in the DM being like, bro, sorry.
I'm a Christian.
I'll pray for you.
It's a human nature thing.
I was really upset on debate night.
And I got to tell you, the thing that put me over the edge, Senator, is nobody even said sorry that this happened to you.
The anchors didn't even say, we're happy you survived.
Which leads me to believe, based on where I come from, they're not.
roger marshall
Yeah, I just think about this threat to democracy.
They're the ones that said, oh, we need to tone things down a little bit here.
But their rhetoric continues to push people over the edge.
So I continue to fear for President Trump's lives, for his family as well.
So they continue to throw gasoline on that fire.
I just don't know what to say, except that it clearly is that the Democrats are controlling the national media complex, and that debate was just one more example, one more piece of proof.
Not a conspiracy theory.
I think it's the truth until someone proves me wrong.
benny johnson
That's right.
Well, so, okay.
So prove for us and provide a railroad track for us through the election.
We've got 50 days left.
We know that you're regularly in contact with the Trump campaign.
You've been working with them and you're an ally of the president.
What's the marching orders through the next 50?
roger marshall
Yeah, I think it's to show America exactly who Kamala Harris is, is that we expose her for who she is, continue to just get pictures and videotapes and quotes from her, and then let her do the explaining, to stay on message.
The two top issues I hear from folks back home are their safety and security and the cost of gas and groceries and the cost of rent and childcare and insurance.
So remember, Did Kamala Harris tell you one way that she was going to secure the border?
Did she even say she wants to secure the border during the debate?
We've yet to hear that out of her lips.
When she talks about bringing the price of gas or groceries or health care down, all she talks about is more government subsidies.
So her policies are going to lead to more borrowing, higher taxes, all that's just going to fuel inflation.
Giving a subsidy to housing is not going to drive down the cost of housing for the rest of us.
So we just have to expose her for exactly who she is.
benny johnson
Correct.
Well, good.
unidentified
All right.
benny johnson
Well, that's a pretty easy task for us.
And we're not even doing TikTok dances.
They're eating the dogs.
They're eating the cats.
You probably won't be finding me doing any TikTok dance anytime soon.
But we appreciate you doing the dangerous dance of telling the truth in the Senate, calling for investigations, being one of the only senators that's even remotely curious about the assassination attempt on possibly one of the most powerful men, arguably the most powerful man on Earth right now, Donald Trump.
And so we say thank you for that, Senator.
Everybody go follow the senator.
He has an awesome background.
Speaking of...
Speaking of practicing what he preaches, look at this!
Look at the back of the X on the X profile pic.
Well done.
Very nice.
That would have been a memorial.
If that was Joe Biden or Barack Obama, that would have been a memorial in D.C. right now.
They'd be carving the marble for it already.
roger marshall
You got it, Benny.
Well, thanks for being here.
It's great to be with you.
Everyone, remember, find out when you can go vote in person October 16th in Kansas.
Thanks.
benny johnson
Thank you.
Thank you, doctor.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
you you All right, well, now we know what the Secret Service is so, so good for.
They have declared January 6th, 2025, the day of certification of the electoral votes, a national security event for the first time in history.
unidentified
Well, well, well.
benny johnson
Would you look at that?
Federal government will dramatically increase security around the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2025, when lawmakers certify the November election in an effort to...
Prevent another January 6th.
Oh, my.
Department of Homeland Security has designated the next certification January 6th, 2025, as a national special security event.
Oh, man.
This put Secret Service in charge of the security instead of the U.S. Capitol Police, Washington Post has reported.
Funny how they couldn't have done this last January 6th.
You know, it's remarkable to me is that the only people that were against security at the Capitol was Nancy Pelosi, and Muriel Bowser is mayor of Washington, D.C. Donald Trump gave them 20,000 National Guards.
But they have to accept it.
They have to accept it.
Donald Trump can't force the National Guard.
He can't order the National Guard to go take over the building.
The power structure, separations of powers, doesn't allow for that.
Donald Trump was right during the debate.
When he said Nancy Pelosi wouldn't accept the extra protection, I did everything I could.
I said march peacefully, patriotically.
Nancy Pelosi wouldn't accept that.
And what does David Muir do during the debate?
We're not talking about that.
Yeah, well, you are talking about it, man.
I want new policies.
I want new policies.
I demand to be in the room for every debate prep for a Republican national candidate.
I demand it.
It's so easy, ladies and gentlemen.
The weird thing is that you won't find a single person, certainly not me, And I doubt you.
Not a single person would have been bothered by there being some extra people stationed at the Capitol that day.
I think that would have been important.
There are bad actors.
There was a dude who...
There's a dude...
I'm at a loss for his name.
There's a dude who's a member of Antifa and BLM.
He was an Antifa BLM leader.
And he was one of the ringleaders that day.
The federal government says so.
The federal government says this Antifa BLM guy, Sullivan?
Last name Sullivan?
Maybe...
I think his last name is Sullivan.
I know this because of the charging documents.
This guy's going to jail for a very long time.
He's, like, running through the Capitol, like, leading people into the Capitol, like, hyping them up, like, doing all this.
Like, I want those people to not be able to do that.
Like, consider, like, all the awful things that have happened due to this.
These are these bad actors.
This guy's a bad actor, and he was a member of Antifa and a member of BLM.
John Sullivan.
Okay.
Same as John Sullivan.
You can go read the federal charging guy.
You guys found guilty.
He's going to, I think, spend a lot of time in jail.
Okay.
Look at how the headlines.
Anti-establishment activists sought to incite Trump supporters on January 6th.
You know, it's amazing they don't say MAGA or America First.
They say anti-establishment.
Really?
What does anti-establishment mean?
A BLM Antifa leader who's been, I think, Guilty on all charges.
Sat there and infiltrated MAGA to try and trick people.
So, like, me?
Nobody?
I wanted the National Guard troops there.
Trump wanted the National Guard troops there in order to prevent things like this.
In order to prevent this from happening because this isn't our movement.
Not the movement of violence.
But I do have wonderful news for you, ladies and gentlemen.
Biden Department of Justice has dropped nearly half of pending obstruction charges for January 6th defendants after Supreme Court ruling.
We predicted this.
So because so many people were set up and because they have egregiously overcharged so much and because a lot of these charges are based on specious and false claims that Kamala Harris was inside the building to ratchet up their charges and charged based on the Capacity to overcharge during Section 57C2 of the U.S. Code that has to do with, like, shredding documents with Enron.
The DOJ has dropped nearly half of the pending obstruction charges for J6.
Good, good, good.
Man, we celebrated this Supreme Court decision.
And what does this prove?
This proves that U.S. Code 181512C2 That this was designed in order to get political prosecutions.
That's what it proves.
This is what this unequivocally proves.
The design of this was in order to put their political enemies in prison and destroy their lives.
Take away these people's right to vote, actually.
That's frankly what the utility of all this was.
And so it is like...
One of the most important Supreme Court rulings in American history, quite frankly.
And now you're seeing the wonderful results.
So prayers up.
I want everybody in the chat, prayers up for all J6 political prisoners, for the people that are being held by their government without trial.
We were so happy to hear President Trump say on the debate stage, like, the only person that was killed was a supporter of mine who was unarmed.
Who was murdered in cold blood without warning.
Her name is Ashley Babbitt.
It's time to start telling the truth.
It's time to speak the truth, ladies and gentlemen, about what's going on.
And there's somebody on our staff who is such a gifted artist, but also a gifted activist for sanity in this nation.
Her name is Jamie Mitchell.
You've probably heard of her group that she began.
It's called Gays Against Groomers.
She's the founder and president of that group.
She has a brand new book out.
She also works as a contractor.
She works with us because she's a gifted and talented artist and graphic designer.

Jamie, welcome to the program.
benny johnson
Jamie, how you doing?
I love the lighting!
unidentified
Look at this!
jaimee michell
Yeah, I'm trying to match you.
I went with a little bit of blue, trying to match the aesthetic.
How are you?
benny johnson
I love it.
I would expect nothing less.
unidentified
Thanks.
benny johnson
So many of our cover images and so many of our beautiful graphics are built by Jamie and her team, and she's, again, very gifted.
But this is also something that really draws you, is the protection of children against horrific ideologies.
You have a brand new book out about it.
It's called The Gender Trap.
Tell us all about it, Jamie.
jaimee michell
Yeah, so I started Gaze Against Groomers back in 2022, basically, you know, as a way to unite people from inside the community, to speak out against the agenda that is kind of being pushed on children in our name, to show that so many of us actually do not support it, because the narrative is that we do.
So it was important to create a unified voice to speak out against it, and it kind of just blew up overnight.
And yeah, I'm really excited.
We just put out our first book.
It's called The Gender Trap.
And it's a great resource for everyone looking to really understand what's happening and also to fight back against it.
And especially for parents.
I mean, we really made this book with parents in mind for, you know, who have children that are in public school or just, you know, online.
This, you know, they're kind of being bombarded with all of this stuff wherever they go.
So a lot of them are getting caught up in gender ideology and being confused by it.
And so this is a great way for parents to arm themselves with how to bring up this topic and how to support their children, you know, and kind of bring them back out of it.
Because the majority of these kids, they're just going through a phase.
But sadly, this phase has permanent repercussions.
So it's a really important issue that we're trying so hard to bring attention to and to kind of just stop this agenda.
And we've had great success so far.
And, you know, we're going to keep fighting until this war on children is ended.
benny johnson
It's remarkable to say because, you know, you had quite the...
Last couple of years of advancement in open child mutilation, you've had quite an uphill battle, yet now we see across Europe, I think in the UK and in other Scandinavian countries, that this practice is banned entirely.
These are often the countries that our elites look to and say, wow, look at how progressive they are.
Can you give us an update on that, where we are politically?
jaimee michell
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, it's really sad to see the US so far behind in this when so many Western nations are now admitting that there is no scientific data to, you know...
Quote, unquote, gender-affirming care.
I put that in quotations because that's not what it is.
It's actually child sterilization and mutilation, if we're going to be completely honest.
But there's no data to back it.
The science isn't there.
And coming from the people who say trust the science, you would think that they would take that seriously.
So, yeah, so many other countries have rolled it back.
But the U.S. seems full steam ahead, at least the current administration.
And sadly...
One political party seems very adamant about continuing.
To do this to children, despite the evidence.
But I do want to say there is hope.
While it's a very dark topic and very depressing, there is hope.
Since Gays Against Groomers formed in 2022, we have assisted in getting gender affirming care banned, you know, child sex changes banned in over 20 states.
So we're making great progress.
Half of the country, it's now banned in 25 states total.
So half of the country is there, but obviously there are states that...
Our sanctuaries for this stuff, for kids to come to and get these procedures done.
And so there is a lot left to do, but we're making good progress.
And I think it's important for your audience to know just how terrible Tim Waltz is specifically.
I mean, a lot of people don't know this, but Minnesota is one of these refuges, one of these states where kids can go.
And essentially be kidnapped.
They can run away from home and go there if their parents and their state does not allow it there.
And he was kind of, you know, up there with California.
He's one of the main governors that has been pushing for children to get these operations and procedures done.
So, but there is good news, but it's a long, hard fight we have ahead of us still.
benny johnson
I think that perhaps, like, once people recognize, and I know that President Trump and his family have been speaking out against this, fathers and mothers, and they're seeing the end result, which the end result is going to be California, right, where the state will take your children.
Like, this is now, like, they have now proven, Gavin Newsom has proven what the final end boss, end stage of this sick ideology.
This demonic ideology is going to lead to, which is the separation of children from their parents.
jaimee michell
Exactly.
Parental rights are on the chopping block.
In so many states already, they have been totally dismantled.
And the state essentially wants to have control over the children, become the children's new family.
It's all very cultish.
To be honest.
But we fight very hard for parental rights.
We go to school board meetings all over the country.
We testify on legislation.
And one of our biggest campaigns is to restore parental rights and to demand that they remain in control of when they want to have these conversations, what they want their children's medical care to be.
Yeah, so it's really sad, and people think this is hyperbole, but it's really not.
There are states in the country where children can run away.
The state takes custody of them, and their parents can never get them back.
It's a nightmare, really.
benny johnson
Based on all the research that you've done for this book, and I know that, obviously, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, some of our dearest friends and allies on this program support you and support your work, but based on the extensive research you've done, would you encourage homeschooling?
jaimee michell
Honestly, yes.
It's terrifying.
I mean, you see what's going on.
The viral clips every day, more and more, showing the lessons that they're teaching in schools.
I mean, I don't even like to call them teachers.
They're literally activists disguised as teachers, right?
They're masquerading as teachers, but they're not.
They're activists.
They're radical gender activists.
And yes, homeschooling, if you can, would be a great option, at least until we get this mess sorted.
I think the entire education system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.
Parents need to have control and the final say of what's going on.
And they need to be informed.
I mean, most importantly, so many people...
So many school districts keep them in the dark.
They have actually policies now where they can transition children in their schools and not tell the parents.
And when I say transition, I mean, like, if a child wants to go by different pronouns or be called a different name, they are not required.
And in many cases, they're banned from informing the parents of that.
And, I mean, that's incredibly dangerous.
It's very wrong morally.
It just...
This trend cannot continue.
And we're fighting to reverse it all over the country.
But yeah, I do want to say the book, The Gender Trap, it's a great book.
And even Tucker Carlson, he did endorse it.
He was the first person to give us an endorsement of the book.
So I really encourage everybody to check it out if they can.
It's a great resource.
benny johnson
Yes, please.
It has always astonished me that there are so many protections against children, and there are now protections that are sweeping across the globe for kids to be off social media until they're 14 or 16. Even here in Florida, I think that was a bill that I believe was passed, or at least is moving along.
And I gotta tell you, as a father, I'm totally for that!
Actually, I think that kids should absorb the value systems of their parents and the healthy marriage and absorb the value systems of what actually allowed for their creation.
And that should be up to the parents because, quite frankly, they're the ones who are in custody of the children until 18 and they're a legal adult.
And when you're a legal adult, you can go buy booze, you can get a driver's license, you can join the military, you can change your name legally, actually.
And you can do all of those things.
And I guess that's then up to what society sees as the adult.
But there has to be protections for children.
It's really not asking too much.
jaimee michell
I mean, it's genuinely insane.
I have this thought every day that I can't believe that Gays Against Groomers has to exist, that this is something we even have to discuss, that children should not be getting sex changes or be sexualized with drag and all of it.
It's genuinely insane.
And, you know, to argue with people, you can't get a tattoo until you're an adult.
You can't drink until you're 21. But somehow they think that giving them these drugs, which, by the way, are given to sex offenders in prison.
To castrate them.
These are the same drugs being given to children and being called puberty blockers.
And, you know, having body parts removed.
I don't want to get too graphic here, but that's the reality of what's happening.
And the fact that anybody thinks that children can make permanent decisions or give any kind of consent.
I mean, I don't know about you, but the thought of having to go through life permanently with a decision, with something that I...
Wanted when I was like 12 or 13 is mortifying.
I mean, there's things I did in my 20s that I regret, you know, but luckily they don't have lifelong consequences attached to them.
But, you know, it's very scary.
And we take it very personally in Gaze Against Groomers because, you know, I'm a tomboy and my entire life I've been a tomboy.
And it's a very scary thought because I know if I were born a few decades later, I absolutely would have been led to believe.
That I was born in the wrong body and that I was meant to be a boy.
If my parents bought into it and they believed all of it, I would have been medically transitioned.
It's the horrifying reality of what this generation is going through, this generation of children.
They're so innocent and that innocence must be protected.
It's just such a sad thing that this is what we have to fight, but we're going to do it and we're not going to stop until they are safe.
benny johnson
It's amazing how the fundamental premise of everything dark in this universe is that God made a mistake in making it.
Your skin color, your gender, the time you were born, who you were born to, your name.
It's all a mistake, right?
Everything's a mistake.
Instead of a beautiful miracle and the miracle of life and the expansive...
Electric power of living a life that was designed, and just the miraculousness of us being here together.
Instead of absorbing that energy, it's dark, and it's cruel, and it's jaded, and it's totally wicked, and we totally support you standing against it.
We say thank you, Jamie.

Jamie, thank you and Godspeed.
jaimee michell
Thank you, Benny.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
you you you you Well, I can't think of a better segue into our verse of the day.
Here we go.
Rocking and rolling.
Romans 5.3.
We can rejoice when we run into trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance and develop character.
And character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
Character strengthens our confidence.
And that character is only developed through trials.
And we are living through quite a massive trial.
We just say thank you to everybody who's been there.
For us and our channel as we build and as we grow.
ALX and I deeply remember when we would go live to exactly maybe one person, I think it was maybe ALX's mom, watching the program.
And now, well, we're building a movement, and we have so many big plans, and we're so excited about it.
And you've been with us through these trials.
And I've got to tell you, we're not going to let you down.
Why?
Because our focus on our rock is correct.
Our rock is on our savior.
And we are focused on our salvation.
We're focused on our victory.
And that's what we do on this program.
We're going to march.
We're going to march onward to victory.
That's the victory that's assured for us.
No point in having hope in men or political parties or anything like that.
unidentified
Nope.
Nope.
benny johnson
All that will let you down.
This is our rock, ladies and gentlemen.
And with that, we march confidently forward.
It's your boy, Benny.
Thanks for watching.
