Yeah, guys, so fire crews are on the ground desperately trying to contain the flames, but so far all three fires are at zero percent containment. | ||
So President Biden was stuck in Los Angeles overnight. | ||
He was set to travel to the Coachella Valley yesterday where he'd announced two new national monuments, but the event was canceled due to the dangerously strong wind gusts. | ||
He says he is being continuously briefed on the wildfires and is offering the state any federal assistance needed to combat the flames. | ||
So far, the state has locked in two grants from 10 p.m. tonight to 5 a.m. tomorrow will be peak winds. | ||
unidentified
|
The impact of these swirling winds and the embers and the number of structures that are destroyed, not a few. | |
Many structures already destroyed. | ||
And the fact that people were still not evacuated, still did not heed the warning, were just coming down the canyon, is a reminder of how serious this moment is and how important it is you listen to these evacuation orders. | ||
County officials say these fires are the worst case scenario and the fire department is warning that dangerous 60 mile per hour winds are expected to continue through tomorrow. | ||
L.A. County officials will give an update at 8 a.m. Pacific, 11 a.m. Eastern. | ||

|
guys. | |
Hey, hey, hey. | ||
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. | ||
I'll tell you the tale of such a thick fog. | ||
Spoke a voice that booms from above, from above. | ||
Go back, tell the others you're sailing false waters. | ||
The Gulf of America is upon us. | ||
Yea, be marooned till you say why. | ||
The Gulf of America is upon us. | ||
The voice became clear as the Cubans appear. | ||
They just wanted to be the 51st state this year. | ||
The great Gulf of America is upon us. | ||
And guess what? | ||
Before Canada could take a side. | ||
The Mexicans appeared. | ||
And so we replied. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Bye. | ||
Guess what? | ||
Guess what? | ||
Everything will be okay. | ||
Guess what day? | ||
What day it is? | ||
It's hump day! | ||
Get it on! | ||
All day, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa You just never know with Jerry. | ||
Jerry's the meme maker, the full-time meme maker at this program. | ||
You just never know, but you do know on Wednesday that he's going to drop an absolute banger. | ||
That includes a camel dancing around on a pirate ship in accordance with the news cycle. | ||
So, ladies and gentlemen, there was some fire that froze shooting out of the cannon there on the camel's pirate ship as he turns away boats full of Mexicans? | ||
Indians? | ||
I'm not exactly sure. | ||
Jerry, you'll have to write a long form. | ||
Think piece on your substack about what went into this meme. | ||
But yeah, ladies and gentlemen, let's just talk for a moment about the disaster that is happening in the state of California. | ||
You have another Maui situation on your hand here. | ||
Clearly, Americans are done with leaders that hate us. | ||
And that's what's happening in California right now. | ||
Like, you can't help but feel bad. | ||
For these people, and we're going to talk about it this morning, we have a stacked and packed show. | ||
Today is Wednesday, January 8th, 2025. | ||
A lot of glorious things happening in the news, but the number one trending topic on Earth right now are the fires in the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and northern Los Angeles, the Hollywood Hills themselves. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, there are horrors being visited upon this part of America, and we care for our fellow Americans. | ||
Not every single person. | ||
Who lives here, you know, is some evil cretin. | ||
A lot of these people, like, are just quite frankly trapped. | ||
And they're physically and literally trapped right now. | ||
And so we're going to talk a little bit about it today. | ||
Wildfires raging all across Los Angeles. | ||
And it could have been prevented, in fact. | ||
Donald Trump right again. | ||
President Trump describes manifest destiny with Greenland, Panama Canal, Canada, and the Gulf of America that he renamed yesterday live on our program. | ||
Freaking awesome. | ||
We have a little bit of a research rabbit hole that we went down as to exactly why Donald Trump is so obsessed with Greenland and Canada, and we're going to talk about that today as well. | ||
Senator Ron Johnson will join the program to talk the ratcheting up of Donald Trump confirmations right now. | ||
The confirmation hearings are going to happen this week and next week. | ||
How kick-ass is that? | ||
We are ready to rock and ready to roll. | ||
Along with Congressman Ronny Jackson, who's the president's doctor, will give us a little fit-as-a-fiddle update on President Trump and how he's doing, how he's going to enter office. | ||
Ronny Jackson, of course, is a member of Congress from Texas, a place that actually knows how to handle a natural disaster along with the state of Florida. | ||
And joining us from the state of Florida is going to be Sheriff Grady Judd talking to us about Pam Bondi, who he worked very closely with. | ||
Sheriff Grady Judd is one of the most famous... | ||
Sheriffs in the entire land and is a totally kick-ass badass from this state. | ||
Very proud to have him on the show for the first time. | ||
My name is Benny Johnson and this is The Benny Show. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, there's a lot that are in ruins, including but not limited to Los Angeles right now. | ||
It's insane, the footage I'm about to show you. | ||
Make sure your financial state is not in ruins today. | ||
Make sure that you are getting out of debt that might have accumulated. | ||
During the Biden regime, this of course was very bad financial error for many Americans, myself included. | ||
But we got through it, okay? | ||
But now is the time to start your year off right. | ||
There are some great news for homeowners. | ||
Interest rates have dropped now into the fives. | ||
And if you've been buried with high interest rates and credit card debt, now is the time to break free. | ||
American Financing can help you access your cash in your home and pay off your high interest debt. | ||
Last year, salary-based mortgage consultants helped customers save an average of $800 per month. | ||
You can call American Financing today, 888-528-1219. | ||
That's 888-528-1219 for AmericanFinancing.net slash Benny, NMLS 1823, NMLSConsumerAccess.org. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, check this out. | ||
Here's the footage of these fires. | ||
It makes you feel so bad. | ||
I mean, listen, got the same vibes that I got with Maui, with Lahaina, right? | ||
You got some of these working class areas that just get totally torched to the ground because of incompetence by the leaders that manage these Democrat areas by psychotic environmentalism. | ||
That refuses to clear brush and engage in actual forestation and management? | ||
Right now, there are tens of thousands of Californians who are fleeing. | ||
There's entire neighborhoods that are now gone completely that have been torched to the ground. | ||
We don't know what the death toll is right now, but we do know a couple of things about these fires. | ||
One, the fire hydrants are literally not working anymore. | ||
So you want to talk about a state of actual third world collapse. | ||
We've been saying it for a while that California is effectively on the brink of collapse. | ||
And now, ladies and gentlemen, here it is. | ||
The firefighters can't fight the fires. | ||
The forestation management is non-existent. | ||
The fire hoses and fire hydrants don't work. | ||
And there aren't enough firefighters to actually fight the flames. | ||
And this is all because of criminal mismanagement. | ||
Of the state and of the state's readiness and of the priorities of the state, including but not limited to the mayor of Los Angeles, being in Ghana right now. | ||
She ain't even there. | ||
Her name's Karen Bass, and she's not even in the city. | ||
She's in Africa right now. | ||
For what? | ||
Is she doing some type of really important soul-searching thing or, I don't know, voodoo thing? | ||
No, no, no. | ||
She's at an inauguration, a presidential inauguration. | ||
She decided to go to a presidential inauguration in Ghana while her city, the second largest city in the country, burns to ashes. | ||
Look at this footage from people's homes. | ||
You have to feel bad. | ||
If you have a soul, you must feel bad for these people. | ||
They have been failed by their leaders. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, first among them is Gavin Newsom. | ||
Here's Gavin Newsom literally sitting there watching the fires burn. | ||
This is what he thought would be great to put out on social media. | ||
Nope. | ||
This is not the look. | ||
Just a reminder that when President Trump was president the first time, he literally warned Gavin Newsom on Twitter. | ||
Before he was banned. | ||
Today is the anniversary of Donald Trump getting banned off of Twitter platform and many other platforms, dozens of other social media platforms. | ||
When Donald Trump was on Twitter the first time, before it became Axe, Donald Trump said, The governor of California has done a terrible job of forest management. | ||
I told him the first day that we met, he must clean his forest floors regardless of his bosses. | ||
The environmentalists demand of him. | ||
They also must do burns and cut fire stoppers. | ||
This is President Trump, of course, sounding the alarm. | ||
And being correct again, another penny in the Trump was right jar, that Gavin Newsom and the psychotic environmentalists in California are going to lead to an abject and total disaster there. | ||
And now it's been proven right over and over again. | ||
Of course, the fires can't spread unless there is fuel for the actual fire. | ||
Here's a map that shows you exactly how badly this has gotten out of control. | ||
So, ladies and gentlemen, can we scroll down? | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
So it's a three-part map. | ||
You can see how the fire started up in the hills, how the fire has now effectively encompassed Malibu. | ||
Some of the most expensive properties on Earth are now just completely and totally in flames. | ||
This post here, Klein, look at this. | ||
I mean, this is all happening right now, still actively happening. | ||
And, you know, we want to state that we're very sad. | ||
Again, what you're going to get from us is, like, directionally pointing the blame where it belongs, which is not at the innocent civilians who have had their lives destroyed, but at the politicians and leaders who have engaged in cult-like climate worship at the expense of human lives. | ||
Some of the most expensive homes on Earth right now in total flames. | ||
This is Malibu Beach. | ||
Right here. | ||
Here's some of the wreckage of what it looks like across major metropolitan areas. | ||
Look at this. | ||
Dude, I'm telling you that the front lines of Ukraine doesn't look this bad. | ||
Oh, speaking of Ukraine, do you know that Los Angeles decided to send a bunch of excess fire equipment to Ukraine? | ||
Excess. | ||
Who determines what's excess fire equipment? | ||
There's no such thing as excess fire equipment when you have like 20 million people living in an area. | ||
But they decided to send it to Ukraine. | ||
The leaders of the DEI Fire Department in Los Angeles decided they'd forfeit firefighting equipment to Ukraine. | ||
It's incredible. | ||
Thank you, producers. | ||
With a real quick follow-up here, let me read just very quickly, just so that you know, directly from the LACountyFireDepartment.gov. | ||
On Thursday, just two years ago, Los Angeles Fire Department joined the 4th District of Los Angeles County Supervisor in the city of Inglewood, announced that they would join the national effort in gathering and donate surplus equipment and gear to help first responders in Ukraine. | ||
Okay, so they gave their fire equipment to Ukraine. | ||
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the fire hydrants inside of Los Angeles are no longer working. | ||
Look at all these stories. | ||
This is from Mike Cernovich. | ||
Fire hydrants aren't working and they don't have any water. | ||
I'm telling you what's happening here in Los Angeles is worse than what's happening in Ukraine. | ||
And the leaders of L.A. sent all their firefighting gear to Ukraine. | ||
Dude, I tell people this. | ||
We were at AmericaFest in Arizona, and a lot of Californians were there at AmericaFest. | ||
I'm like, you know, you make a horrible mistake by assuming that a state's going to stay blue forever. | ||
California, under this leadership, will not stay blue forever. | ||
California will swing red. | ||
I'm telling you, in my lifetime, but in the near term, in my lifetime, California will be a red state. | ||
And that'll actually, if you won California, Texas, and Florida, that's effectively the ballgame. | ||
I don't think the Republicans are going to give up Florida or Texas anytime soon. | ||
And then if you add the 54 electoral votes from California, then that's the entire... | ||
I mean, that's effectively... | ||
A monster pile. | ||
It's 200-plus electoral votes. | ||
So there's just no chance for anyone to win ever again. | ||
California was a red state in my lifetime. | ||
California was going red in my lifetime. | ||
California... | ||
Cannot even pump water to their fire hoses now. | ||
Lack of water from hydrants in Palisades fire is hurting firefighters' efforts. | ||
California firefighters running out of water. | ||
This is what you see in third world countries. | ||
Firefighters running out of water as fires tear through Los Angeles. | ||
Incredibly sad. | ||
Malibu here. | ||
Just one final, like, you know, I mean... | ||
Listen, it's just disaster porn at this point. | ||
It's so cripplingly sad. | ||
This is worse than any Ukrainian city looks like. | ||
This is a literal war zone. | ||
And why is this also happening? | ||
Well, ladies and gentlemen, not only is the mayor of Los Angeles, off in Africa, the DEI higher fire chief of Los Angeles. | ||
Is bragging about the most important thing for her, which is that they hire more women to be firefighters. | ||
Here we go. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm super inspired. | |
She took time out of her already busy schedule to tell us about her vision for the department's future, one that includes a three-year strategic plan to increase diversity. | ||
People ask me, well, what number are you looking for? | ||
I'm not looking for a number. | ||
unidentified
|
It's never enough. | |
Out of 3,300 city firefighters, only 115 are women right now. | ||
She's already looking at ways to change that. | ||
She's quick to point out that doing so has a greater purpose, attracting the best and brightest for the job. | ||
They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part of a cohesive team. | ||
The chief also checks another box when it comes to inclusivity and diversity at this department. | ||
She's a proud member of the LGBTQ community. | ||
That just kind of opens the door of people that thought, wow, I didn't even know that that was an opportunity for me. | ||
*sniff* | ||
I say this, and I've said it a million times. | ||
DEI. | ||
Kills. | ||
DEI, the non-hiring on merit, the hiring on your immutable qualities, like the amount of melanin in your skin, or who you have sex with, that's going to kill people. | ||
It does kill people. | ||
And ladies and gentlemen, it's leading to abject collapse in these Democrat cities. | ||
I mean, in New Orleans, they didn't even have up the anti-car personnel barriers. | ||
You know, those big metal poles. | ||
I can't believe people just forget about it so quickly. | ||
I mean, I guess the news cycle is like the length of a gnat. | ||
Gnat's memory. | ||
Gnat's life. | ||
But they had those iron barriers to prevent vehicles from ramming people, and they didn't put them up. | ||
And now there are 15 dead Americans. | ||
How many Californians have perished in these wildfires? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know. | ||
But it's time to bring back meritocracy. | ||
It's time to bring back intellect. | ||
It's time to bring back leaders who actually care about the citizens whom they represent and want them to live healthy, safe, prosperous lives. | ||
Here's President Trump warning Gavin Newsom. | ||
This clip is from 2019. | ||
President Trump warning Gavin Newsom to his face. | ||
Dude, you are going to kill people in the way that you psychotically manage your state by prioritizing environmentalism. | ||
Which makes no sense because if you were an actual environmentalist, you would want to clean the forests. | ||
That actually helps forestation. | ||
That actually helps the growth of the trees and plants. | ||
And it saves people's lives. | ||
It makes these fires much easier to manage because the fire can't go anywhere if it doesn't have any fuel. | ||
Anyway, here's Trump doing it to Gavin's face. | ||
Cleaned out and protected. | ||
We've got to take care of the floors. | ||
You know, the floors of the forests. | ||
Very important. | ||
You look at other countries where they... | ||
Do it differently, and it's a whole different story. | ||
I was with the President of Finland, and he said, "We have a much different-- we're a forest nation." He called it a forest nation. | ||
And they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don't have any problem. | ||
And when it is, it's a very small problem. | ||
So I know everybody's looking at that-- to that end, and it's going to work out. | ||
There's one other thing that I want to speak to because we've done reporting on this for our own show. | ||
Whenever I go to L.A., I drive through Cannery Row in Los Angeles, and the look is so depressing as an American. | ||
You don't want anybody, oh, it's a blue state! | ||
unidentified
|
Ha ha ha! | |
You don't want anybody to be living like this. | ||
This is cruel. | ||
It's inhumane. | ||
You just pop it up on screen, Klein, whenever you get it. | ||
It's like what it looks like. | ||
This is me driving through LA like a year ago. | ||
This is what LA looks like. | ||
Guys, I'm telling you, some of the worst, and I've traveled to third world places on the planet that don't look as bad as this. | ||
And you wonder why they're out of control of raging fires. | ||
And look at this. | ||
This is your second largest city. | ||
The city of angels. | ||
Look at this. | ||
This is what it looked like. | ||
This is me driving, just filming as I'm driving. | ||
I just got my cell phone up. | ||
That guy, I'm telling you, that guy, I went down multiple alleys. | ||
These people were starting fires. | ||
I'm not saying that a homeless person started these fires, but who's to prove me wrong? | ||
There's such a horrific homeless problem in Los Angeles, and there are videos now surfacing of homeless people starting fires that people are saying, yo, I just saw this the other day. | ||
I saw this the other day. | ||
It's a homeless guy who was starting a fire. | ||
Here's this person, like, this is outside of Los Angeles, somebody filming on the side of the road, some homeless guy, like, starting a fire next to a bunch of sagebrush. | ||
You bucked my video, client? | ||
We have a moral crisis in this country. | ||
It is a question of morality. | ||
You don't want to see people live like this. | ||
I mean, this is... | ||
It's dark. | ||
It's not... | ||
Humans shouldn't live bent over. | ||
On the streets, addicted to drugs. | ||
They shouldn't live in squalor and filth like this. | ||
Not in this country. | ||
Why do we tolerate it? | ||
Why do we allow it? | ||
The final point I'll make here, and then we have the great Senator Ron Johnson who's going to join our program. | ||
I have a feeling he has some thoughts on this. | ||
Where you live is a direct reflection. | ||
Of the morality of the people who are leading you. | ||
Go to a city park in your town. | ||
I do, in my town, all the time. | ||
It's why I moved to Tampa. | ||
The city parks in Washington, D.C., where I think Senator Ron Johnson is currently going to be joining us from, they were handed over entirely to homeless criminal vagrants with needles sticking out of their arms, knives, firearms, drugs, frothing at the mouth, pissing and shitting all over the park benches. | ||
That's what the city parks in Washington, D.C. are like. | ||
Now, I had a child. | ||
I welcomed my firstborn child, and the moment that I started to realize that these parks are actually meant for children and families, and the two can't coexist, I said, we're out! | ||
We're going to find a place, and we did, where the parks are for the children and the families, where mothers are safe with their children, and it's a question of morality. | ||
The leaders of a city make a decision. | ||
They choose this. | ||
This is not something that was forced upon LA. | ||
LA decided to do this. | ||
They are promoting this. | ||
They are wanting this. | ||
So, who's it for? | ||
It's the number one easiest possible way to judge the leaders of your city. | ||
Your municipality, get in your car, take a quick drive down to the city park, and see, are their children and families prospering, safe? | ||
If a vagrant walks into that park, will cops immediately arrest them and keep them from the children? | ||
Will men stand up, muscularly defending their families and saying, you will get the hell out of here? | ||
I know the park I take my kids to. | ||
The dads? | ||
If some hobo came rolling through and was threatening a child, the hobo would be lucky if the cops got there. | ||
It'd be the dads who'd take care of it. | ||
It doesn't happen here. | ||
And that's why I moved my family here. | ||
Hopefully your city is the same way. | ||
If you live in a city that has allowed their spaces to be overtaken by demonic activity, then you gotta go. | ||
You gotta leave. | ||
You should leave California. | ||
This is what I saw when I went to California. | ||
You should leave these places because those places are just for pure death and destruction. | ||
There are no human souls that are beyond redemption. | ||
But there is darkness and demonic activity and it cannot coexist with the light. | ||
So you must make a choice as a society. | ||
Are you for life or are you for death? | ||
And unfortunately, right now, there are people who are finding out in California that their leaders worship death. | ||
The truth is the light, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
I know Wisconsin very well. | ||
The senator from Wisconsin, the great Ron Johnson, joins us now from a state that is pristine and beautiful and does encourage families and does protect women and children. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, please join the truth teller, Ron Johnson, on the show now. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Thank you. | ||
you you Senator, I appreciate your patience. | ||
Just as a young father here, I had to get that off my chest. | ||
Well, Benny, well, listen, it's depressing, isn't it? | ||
It's dystopia. | ||
It's brought to you by Democrat governance, brought to you by the Democrat Party, which is now run by the radical left. | ||
That's what you get with radical leftism. | ||
That's what you get with fundamental transformation. | ||
Remember when President Obama promised that before he got elected he's going to, in five days, fundamentally transform America? | ||
They're fundamentally destroying it. | ||
These are things you see in science fiction movies 30 years ago. | ||
This is impossible in America. | ||
This is what's happening right now. | ||
And again, the mainstream media who supports radical leftism, that supports the Democratic Party, they don't report this. | ||
They don't show those kind of images like you are. | ||
So, you know, most of America in Wisconsin, people aren't even aware that this is happening. | ||
Yes. | ||
I mean, we're doing our best because... | ||
It's kind of like the fires in Lahaina in Hawaii. | ||
I don't care if they're a blue state or a red state. | ||
These are Americans. | ||
These are my fellow citizens. | ||
And they bleed the same red that I do. | ||
And I feel bad for them. | ||
And the best that we can do is to truth tell about some of the reasons why this is happening, because it doesn't have to be this way. | ||
It shouldn't be this way. | ||
And truth is going to be our most powerful weapon. | ||
But when you have the mainstream media, again, supporting the left, Covering up for the left, the truth doesn't get out to as many Americans as we need to. | ||
Now, fortunately, about a little more than half, a very small portion, above half of America, rejected this in the last election. | ||
But what's depressing is the other half voted to support this. | ||
Yes. | ||
It's pretty depressing right there. | ||
This election should have been overwhelming in terms of a Trump victory. | ||
But it's a close call. | ||
I think that when people see meritocracy on display, I mean, we talked a little bit about Karen Bass and about the fire chief and their obsession with DEI and diversity and equity and inclusion, not meritocracy. | ||
When they see meritocracy on display, people are going to snap back to reality. | ||
Reality is the undefeated champion of asserting itself in our lives. | ||
And you're helping with that, actually, by bringing meritocracy back to Trump's cabinet and to our military. | ||
Pete Hegseth? | ||
Marco Rubio, I think a lot of people, UN Ambassador Stefanik, will be getting hearings in the Senate. | ||
Can you give us a quick update on remaking some of those relationships that America has with those critical areas of the administration? | ||
Sure. | ||
Well, first of all, in terms of confirmation hearings, I think most Republicans here in Washington, D.C. respect the convincing victory that President Trump had. | ||
And we believe that it's the president who won. | ||
It's the president who ought to decide who he wants serving with him in his administration. | ||
So I think most senators' default position will be to vote for confirmation, even if they don't completely agree with the nominees on all the issues. | ||
But again, President Trump deserves to have a cabinet that he selects. | ||
Yes. | ||
So the news is that Hegseth has the votes to be confirmed, that Cash has the votes to be confirmed, that we'll be getting confirmation hearings scheduled this week or next. | ||
Can you update us on that? | ||
I believe so. | ||
Apparently there is some hang-up in the FBI background checks, some of the paperwork done, so hopefully that backlog can be alleviated. | ||
But as soon as all the paperwork's done, I know it sounds very bureaucratic and I hate it, but you do have to go through the process. | ||
But, you know, we're ready. | ||
You know, Leader Thune says, you know, we're going to work. | ||
We'll work through the weekends if we have to, to make sure that his nominees are confirmed. | ||
Good. | ||
Will, you know, do you have a whip count on any of the nominees? | ||
Is there anybody in trouble right now? | ||
Not that I'm aware of, truthfully. | ||
I think Pete Hegseth came and met with Sanders. | ||
I think he gave people a fair amount of confidence. | ||
Barring something really showing up in a background report that's just disqualifying, I'm expecting his nominees to be confirmed. | ||
Senator, I've been hearing a little bit about John Fetterman saying he's going to vote with Republicans on a number of issues and other Democrat senators plying away. | ||
What's the makeup right now in the Senate? | ||
Are there a lot of senators that are willing to like... | ||
Cross the aisle and work with Trump and give Trump a chance this time? | ||
It does seem like the entire country has had a spell of Trump derangement syndrome broken. | ||
Well, let's see if we get enough Democrat votes to actually pass legislation. | ||
That would be the acid test. | ||
I'm a little concerned about teeing up a piece of legislation that really won't have much impact, might have a nice sounding name that will give six Democrats a cover vote. | ||
They may be up for re-election in 2026. | ||
So I think we need to be strategically smart about that. | ||
You know, obviously, if we can pass a bill, we should certainly try and do so. | ||
I think most of our focus is going to be on reconciliation, making sure that we don't get a massive automatic tax increase in 2026, making sure that President Trump gets his full four-year funding to secure the border as quickly as possible. | ||
It's, like, something that has been kind of remarkable. | ||
I did think there was going to be a lot more of a vigorous fight, but it does seem like, especially with, like, the certification and everything, we saw everybody sort of step in line, and it's actually nice to see because I think a lot of people really are, like, have a hangover from the woke bullshit. | ||
I mean, I think people do. | ||
I think they're done with it, and I think it'd be nice to have some, like, real meritocracy and leadership in the government right now, and people feel a little worried, like, the terrorist attacks. | ||
The terrorist attacks on New Year's Day were quite frightening for people. | ||
And we're hearing a lot of reports of some real dangerous stuff that's in our country. | ||
Everything from ICBM missiles to terrorist cells to whatever the hell the drones were over New Jersey. | ||
I think people are, and then these fires, I think people are on a little bit of a backheel saying, wow, things aren't going well. | ||
It'd be nice to have some real leadership back. | ||
Well, I think Democrats were somewhat chastened by the election results. | ||
But I wouldn't rely on that long term. | ||
I think they will do everything they can to sabotage Trump's administration. | ||
So again, there may be enough that will go along with bills that are just overwhelmingly popular with the American public, but probably not enough to actually pass bills. | ||
Because there are only a few vulnerable Democrat senators. | ||
So take a look at what actually passes. | ||
And that's what I say. | ||
I think we have to really focus on reconciliation. | ||
I think that the primary sticking point on reconciliation packages will be what's going to be the spending level we agree on. | ||
And what I've been talking about with my Wall Street Journal article is going back to some pre-pandemic level spending. | ||
I've, for example, laid out 1998. | ||
That was Bill Clinton's spending. | ||
If you exempt Social Security and Medicare, just accept the Biden numbers for 2025 for those and interest, and then just take Bill Clinton's spending level, inflate it by population growth and inflation, we'd be spending $5.5 trillion this year, and we'd have a balanced budget. | ||
If that's too dramatic a change for you, go back to President Obama's 2014 budget. | ||
You know, same calculation, you'd end up with $6.2 trillion. | ||
President Biden wants to spend about $7.3 trillion this year. | ||
These are massive reductions in terms of the expected savings. | ||
But why would any Republican, why would President Trump want to agree to President Biden's spending levels? | ||
We went from $4.4 trillion in 2019, pre-pandemic, to $6.6 trillion the year of the pandemic. | ||
For the next five years, we spent $6.5 trillion on average. | ||
That's absurd. | ||
It's like a family making $100 grand. | ||
Their family member has a serious illness, so they have to spend $50,000 on medical bills. | ||
And then that family member gets cured, and the next four years, you still spend $150,000 borrowing $50,000. | ||
That's, in effect, what the federal government's been doing. | ||
That's completely unacceptable. | ||
But, again, Washington, D.C. is so immune. | ||
To what the rest of America has to do. | ||
A family setting a budget, living within its means. | ||
Businesses doing the same thing. | ||
So I'm trying to, you know, reintroduce that discipline. | ||
Let's pass a budget based on something that's reasonable from the past. | ||
Again, Clinton budget, Obama budget. | ||
I mean, are you going to really argue that they were spending too little? | ||
Inflate that for population and inflation and go with those numbers as top line numbers and then have the congressional committees. | ||
Prioritize spending. | ||
What a concept. | ||
So no, you can't spend more than X. You're going to have to figure out how to do it. | ||
You're going to have to figure out what's the higher priority spending items and what are the things we simply can't afford to do. | ||
Because if we are forced into that process by a debt crisis, that'll be horrific. | ||
So better to do it in a disciplined fashion now. | ||
And by the way, we will not default on our debt. | ||
We have $5.5 trillion of revenue coming in here. | ||
That's more than we need enough to service the debt, cover Social Security, cover Medicare, and most of government spending. | ||
Again, we could balance the budget if we go back to a baseline based on Bill Clinton's 1998 spending. | ||
So again, this default on debt, that's scaremongering. | ||
We've used that, not me, but others have used that to mortgage our children's future. | ||
So there's no chance we're going to default on the debt. | ||
What we can do is we can go back to a more reasonable level of spending. | ||
I'm going to use every ounce of leverage I have to make sure that happens. | ||
Good. | ||
I mean, yeah, clearly it is about our children's future. | ||
You just can't run a country that is so massively and critically in debt that you can barely pay the interest on that debt. | ||
It's immoral, actually, to do that. | ||
Notice that Mitch McConnell wasn't at Donald Trump's certification. | ||
We've seen some pretty scary photos and videos of him in a wheelchair. | ||
Any update on Senator McConnell? | ||
I saw him at lunch. | ||
He sounded just fine. | ||
He engaged the conversation with us, so I didn't see any problems with Mitch at all. | ||
There are a lot of people. | ||
I actually missed the vote count, unfortunately. | ||
Flight delays. | ||
It was a mess getting into D.C. on Monday. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
There's a lot of snow. | ||
Moving very quickly, if you're talking about budget, the FBI has been something that has been certainly a thorn in your paw for quite a while, Senator. | ||
Donald Trump made a ton of news yesterday saying that the FBI knows who the pipe bomber was for January 6th. | ||
Can you confirm that? | ||
Is that true? | ||
And more importantly, what will be your oversight of the FBI under Newcastle leadership? | ||
So I actually talked to Cash prior to his confirmation. | ||
And, you know, he wants to focus on restoring integrity to the FBI. | ||
He wants to send agents back out to the branches, have prosecutorial decisions decided out there where they're not politicized here in Washington, D.C. So he wants to focus on fixing the FBI. | ||
What he wants to do is make the FBI transparent and provide congressional investigators like myself the information we need to look back. | ||
Find out what happened. | ||
I'm sure he'll do some of that himself. | ||
I can't tell you whether the FBI knew who the pipe bomber was. | ||
I have no idea because this FBI under this administration is not transparent. | ||
They've just given congressional investigators like myself the middle finger. | ||
That hopefully will change. | ||
I think that's one of the big challenges for Trump and his nominees, his department heads, is extracting information from the deep state. | ||
It's not going to be easy. | ||
The deep state does not reveal secrets very easily. | ||
So I've been suggesting publicly what President Trump probably needs to do is nominate a Secretary of Information Extraction. | ||
We're going to need some help. | ||
But, you know, hopefully as chairman of the Department of Subcommittee Investigation, I'll have subpoena authority. | ||
And if I get help understanding what I need to subpoena, we can do that and have courts intervene. | ||
Because, you know, again, the deep state does not... | ||
They don't comply. | ||
Let's face it. | ||
President Trump was undermined by his own administration in the first term. | ||
We have people in these broxies who want to do the same thing this time. | ||
That's why he needs the types of fighters he's appointing to these department heads. | ||
They need deputies that are also willing to fight and root out the deep state actors. | ||
What will be the first thing that you subpoena, given President Trump will get Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, gets his team in? | ||
What are you subpoenaing first, Senator? | ||
Well, I'm going to definitely focus on federal health agencies. | ||
And I've sent over 60 oversight letters on COVID, vaccine mandates, vaccine hot lots, that type of thing. | ||
So the final 50 pages of Fauci's emails, I don't think anybody's seen unredacted. | ||
So I'll definitely be focusing on that. | ||
I'll be working with Senator Grassley. | ||
We have a number of requests from our investigations that were stymied by the intelligence agencies and the FBI and Department of Justice. | ||
So we got a reasonably long Mm-hmm. | ||
Good. | ||
I would like to just zoom in really quickly on Wisconsin. | ||
We were very frustrated with the way that the Wisconsin voting went, and you should be joined with another Republican in the Senate right now. | ||
I truly believe that in my heart of hearts. | ||
That's a state that I know that Scott Pressler is going to be focusing in on. | ||
There's a Supreme Court race that's going to happen in, I believe, a year or two that could potentially flip the balance of the Supreme Court in Wisconsin. | ||
Are you going to be working with Scott Pressler and helping flip as well as you can your home state? | ||
Absolutely. | ||
Listen, that Supreme Court race is in three months. | ||
My apologies. | ||
We also have the Department of Public Instruction, you know, Of that superintendent as well. | ||
That'd be key for Wisconsin. | ||
So, Wisconsin, we need national help. | ||
We need people to recognize how important this is. | ||
If the Supreme Court, if we can't flip it back to a conservative court, they will redistrict. | ||
We'll probably lose a couple of House seats. | ||
You might kiss the 10 electoral votes for Wisconsin goodbye. | ||
We're a very evenly divided state. | ||
Now, President Trump is the record vote getter in Wisconsin. | ||
He got almost 1.7 million. | ||
Prior to that, it was... | ||
President Obama at 1.68. | ||
So Wisconsinites, we vote. | ||
And Republican or Democrat, it's a turnout game. | ||
And what Republicans have gotten better over the last couple of years, I called it trickle-up elections. | ||
We're making sure we have Republican candidates on every line of the ballot. | ||
That brings out the low-propensity voters sometimes voting for their friends or their cousins. | ||
That benefits the top of the ticket. | ||
We started that in 2020. | ||
And it's actually worked. | ||
So it's all about turnout. | ||
It's about early voting. | ||
As much as I'd like to have just an election day, that's not the rules we are living under right now, so we've got to exploit the rules we've got. | ||
I want to put up the information right here from Scott. | ||
April 1st is the election day in 2025. | ||
You can flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court. | ||
You can save that state from some of the horrible shenanigans that we've seen out of Wisconsin. | ||
You are very close to the Canadian border there in Wisconsin. | ||
Would you ever consider serving as governor of Canada? | ||
I've got my hands full right now. | ||
I like Canadians. | ||
I like fishing. | ||
I like pulling walleyes out of the lake of the woods there in Canadian water. | ||
So Canadians are really nice people. | ||
Just not real nuts about Justin Turow. | ||
I just had to ask. | ||
I mean, you seem to be a very happy person, very jovial, everyone I've met from Canada is very nice, and you kind of like share lakes and a border, and so, you know, why not? | ||
They kind of talk funny. | ||
Talk funny, it's a boot. | ||
You know, what do you think, eh? | ||
A little bit of a Wisconsinite accent in there as well, so we like them. | ||
All right. | ||
Final question here. | ||
How serious is President Trump about purchasing Greenland? | ||
How legal would this be? | ||
I mean, would this need any type of Senate ratification or anything like that? | ||
I think it's absolutely serious. | ||
And I understand why. | ||
Both Panama and Greenland are militarily national security strategic for America. | ||
So I understand exactly what he's saying. | ||
I know a lot of left are thinking this is crazy. | ||
It's not crazy at all. | ||
When you take a look at how Russia and China are moving to dominate the Arctic region. | ||
When you realize how vulnerable we are, if China was able to shut down the Panama Canal and they have way too much, again, that was such a stupid thing to do during the canal we built at the cost of lives and treasure and that kind of stuff. | ||
Just turn that over to Panama. | ||
What a stupid thing to do. | ||
So I understand exactly where President Trump's coming from on this. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So, again, just really quickly, what would be the process? | ||
Does it need ratification by Congress or is this something that the president can literally do? | ||
Hard to say. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Now I'm fascinated by it all, so I want to go in and do more research. | ||
I didn't know the Panama Canal was literally sovereign American territory. | ||
I thought it was just something we built. | ||
Literally, America owned it in 10 miles in each direction. | ||
It's incredible. | ||
It's the dumbest move ever to give that back. | ||
We got a buck for it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Okay. | ||
Well, with inflation. | ||
Tough one. | ||
That's a bad deal. | ||
A good deal for you, ladies and gentlemen, would be to follow the great Senator Ron Johnson from the state of Wisconsin. | ||
Somebody who we may, may be referring to as the governor of Canada when he's forthwith and henceforth back on the show next time. | ||
But we are huge fans of the great Senator from Wisconsin. | ||
Godspeed, Senator. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Have a great day. | ||
you you Did you know that the Panama Canal was sovereign American territory? | ||
I have been going down rabbit holes like you would not believe on this. | ||
When Donald Trump says that he wants to take back the Panama Canal, what he's talking about is taking back literally America. | ||
Let me explain. | ||
Very quick people's history here of happy little Panama. | ||
Panama used to be known as Colombia. | ||
Colombia, the country, used to own Panama. | ||
That we know Panama is today. | ||
They made a deal with the French to build the canal. | ||
The French, of course, shocker, couldn't get it done in the late 1800s. | ||
And so then America stepped in and said, we have the engineers, we have the smarts, we have the capacity, we can do this. | ||
And the Colombian government said, no, with an accent mark. | ||
And so America actually militarily supported Panamanian independence at the turn of the century. | ||
Meaning, the only reason there is a Panama, the only reason the country of Panama exists is because of America. | ||
America goes in and builds a canal with the express treaty that America will own 10 miles north and 10 miles south of the canal. | ||
Sovereign American territory, you could go claim asylum. | ||
I mean, you step into that area, you're stepping into America. | ||
That's why we were able to put military bases there. | ||
That's why our patrol ships were able to move through. | ||
That was the cost of the... | ||
Tens of thousands of American lives it took and great American muscle, ingenuity and fortune, treasure that it took to build that canal. | ||
Why we would give that back is imbecilic and idiotic. | ||
Panama, spoiled brat country, wouldn't even be a country without America. | ||
And now that China has totally overtaken that canal, it is important to go back and relook at that treaty. | ||
Can you tell I've been on the rabbit hole? | ||
Here we go. | ||
I went and read the treaty. | ||
Get a load of this. | ||
This is what Donald Trump is saying. | ||
And I did a few phone calls and checked, and this was correct. | ||
The original treaty, which still of course stands today and is ratified and is binding today, says that if a military power is to ever impress itself upon Panama and to threaten Panama, that the American military is duty-bound to step in and to protect Panama, who doesn't have a standing army. | ||
Panama has no standing military. | ||
So the Chinese... | ||
Military has overtaken the Panama Canal. | ||
This is grounds based on our treaty with Panama, which you can see right here on the screen. | ||
Beautiful killer client. | ||
It's just perfect. | ||
I love it. | ||
We are duty bound to actually step in and retake over the Panama Canal based on our treaty. | ||
Okay? | ||
There you go. | ||
There it is. | ||
Isn't that interesting? | ||
So dumb. | ||
We're so stupid. | ||
The only reason Panama exists is because of us. | ||
Same thing with Greenland. | ||
Really quickly. | ||
Greenland was given up. | ||
The administration of Greenland by the Danes was given up during World War II. | ||
Nazis conquered Denmark and the king gave up the administration of Greenland. | ||
You know who protected Greenland? | ||
We did. | ||
Our navy. | ||
Our military. | ||
We took Greenland over during World War II. | ||
It was our naval vessels that were parked there protecting the island from becoming a deep sea port for Nazi subs and U-boats. | ||
We Are the only reason Greenland exists. | ||
America. | ||
How weak and stupid are we to give these things back? | ||
Greenland exists in the Western Hemisphere. | ||
According to Secretary Seward, back in the, you know, the guy who bought Alaska, Greenland should rightly be American territory. | ||
We already have State Department cables stating that. | ||
And so, ladies, there it is. | ||
Protecting America. | ||
Protecting Greenland. | ||
Perfect. | ||
Just knock it out of the park. | ||
Protecting Greenland. | ||
Greenland was literally American territory during World War II. | ||
And we handed it back to these jackasses who couldn't even protect their own, you know, their own country in Europe. | ||
And then we just hand it back? | ||
No, man. | ||
No! | ||
No, actually, by right, Greenland and Panama are ours. | ||
We'll state it. | ||
Don't even get me started on the Battle of Quebec. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to talk to our next guest, the great Ronnie Jackson, about this. | ||
Ronnie Jackson, of course, served in the military and probably has a thing or two to say about this. | ||
The thing that would power the reconquest of Greenland or Panama would certainly be caffeine for me. | ||
Don't get into that Colombian stuff, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Caffeine, blackout coffee for your boy. | ||

unidentified
|
Let's go. | |
you you Congressman, how are you? | ||
Happy, glorious new American era to you. | ||
Hey, Benny. | ||
Thank you for having me. | ||
Pleasure to be here. | ||
I would love to get your take, just because President Trump made a lot of news yesterday, on saying no, actually. | ||
Greenland, Canada, Panama. | ||
Why shouldn't we re-exert ourselves in this hemisphere that we protect and control? | ||
I'd love to get your thoughts on that. | ||
Yeah, you know, I mean, things have changed. | ||
Obviously, we've got a new sheriff in town. | ||
There's a new attitude here. | ||
You know, we're worried about our national security. | ||
We haven't been concerned about that for the last four years. | ||
No more of this globalist attitude. | ||
It's going to be America first now. | ||
You know, those are both Greenland and the Panama Canal are very important to the national security of this country. | ||
Not just to this country, but the national security and the free world. | ||
They're important to the free world. | ||
That's why, you know, NATO, Europe, Denmark, they should all be, you know, applauding efforts. | ||
To be involved in Greenland and potentially take over Greenland. | ||
Because if they don't have the political wheel, economically, militarily, they can't do it, then they need to let us do it. | ||
Because it's important that the threat from Russia is real. | ||
The threat from China is real. | ||
It's going to come into play at some point in the near future. | ||
And there's going to be people looking back and wishing that this would have happened if it doesn't happen. | ||
And I honestly think that if anybody can push this forward and really get something done. | ||
It's obviously President Trump. | ||
Panama Canal, obviously that's a huge deal for us as well. | ||
Like you said, we put a lot of blood and treasure into that. | ||
We developed that. | ||
We built that. | ||
That was ours. | ||
Recently, the Chinese are doing in South and Central America what they've done all over the world, which is where they come in and they bring a lot of cash in and they build roads and bridges and schools and hospitals. | ||
You know, as a loan to these particular countries, these countries that they know can never repay this money back. | ||
And that's the point of it. | ||
And then they're indebted to them. | ||
And then they basically say, well, look, we'll take your minerals. | ||
We'll take, you know, your rare earths, whatever, all of your resources. | ||
We'll take your resources. | ||
We'll take the canal. | ||
And that's what China's up to right now. | ||
And they're already getting preferential treatment. | ||
You know, if anybody should be getting preferential treatment in the Panama Canal, it should be the United States for China. | ||
But we're not. | ||
We're being penalized. | ||
We're being treated as less than many of the other countries that come through there. | ||
And they're taking advantage of the United States. | ||
And President Trump, we all know he's not going to put up with it. | ||
It's just not his style. | ||
It's not his attitude. | ||
He came in saying he was going to put America first, make America great. | ||
And this is part of it. | ||
I'm glad to see it happening. | ||
And I will tell you too, Benny, it's fantastic the way he negotiates. | ||
It drives the mainstream media crazy. | ||
But he comes in and he... | ||
He says these things, you know, and, you know, he goes way, way to way to over the top sometimes. | ||
But I love it because it freaks them out, right? | ||
And it brings the people that he's negotiating with, people that otherwise would never consider coming to the negotiating table. | ||
They're chomping at the bit to get to the negotiating table so that they can, you know, resolve this, you know, issue. | ||
And we end up getting a lot more out of it than we would have ever gotten in the first place because he's a master negotiator, right? | ||
I'll tell you with regards to Greenland in particular. | ||
Other than maybe Denmark and Greenland themselves, the people that are the most interested in this right now are the Russians. | ||
You better bet that Vladimir Putin is watching everything that's happening right now. | ||
And whenever we get ready to start negotiating some kind of peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, I guarantee you this is now a chip that's on the table that President Trump is going to use in his favor. | ||
He's just brilliant in that regard, and I'm just happy to see it happening. | ||
Yeah, I mean, this is how you represent Texas. | ||
This is how we got Texas. | ||
Yeah, we purchased it. | ||
We did a deal. | ||
And this is how most the vast majority of America was conquered through cash and gold, not through blood. | ||
Right. | ||
And this is how America created Manifest Destiny. | ||
And there's nothing that says that we are. | ||
We have to stop. | ||
We can't protect our own interests. | ||
Russians aren't stopping. | ||
Everybody around the world is pushing out and trying to increase their global influence. | ||
For the last four years of the Biden administration, certainly for the eight years of the Obama administration, we just sit on the sidelines and watched it happen and actually applauded it. | ||
We don't have the respect. | ||
Our enemies don't fear us anymore. | ||
Our allies don't respect us anymore. | ||
That's all changing right now. | ||
You can see it changing by the hour. | ||
Congressman, I'm not familiar enough with your district. | ||
Is it up against the Gulf of America? | ||
No, no, no, it's not. | ||
I'm actually up in the panhandle. | ||
I've got the Oklahoma-New Mexico border, so I'm up in the northwest. | ||
I'm sorry, Congressman, I don't normally do this. | ||
It's not my role to correct you live here, but that's going to be called New America. | ||
New America, all right. | ||
Yeah, no more New Mexico. | ||
We're going to change the state name, too. | ||
Texas was once Mexico, right? | ||
That's right, that's right. | ||
So are you going to go along with the name? | ||
I mean, I don't think I'll ever say it. | ||
I'm not going to wait for the official declaration. | ||
I don't think I'm ever going to call the Gulf of Mexico again. | ||
I live on the Gulf of Mexico. | ||
Yeah. | ||
No, I'm all in. | ||
I mean, I think if we start talking about it, we start putting it on our maps. | ||
I mean, it doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks right now. | ||
It's going to happen. | ||
It's going to be the Gulf of America. | ||
I mean, it's just... | ||
Have you spoken with the president about this? | ||
I have not, actually. | ||
I'll be speaking to him this weekend, and I'll definitely bring it up. | ||
I talked to him a couple days ago before he started talking about that particular issue. | ||
But yeah, no, I love it. | ||
Okay, great. | ||
I mean, Texas, of course, has a monster border with the Gulf of America, and America has the longest border with the Gulf of America. | ||
So it should be called the Gulf of America. | ||
We also, as ever, we protect it militarily, right? | ||
I would have personally, I would have made a pitch for the Gulf of Texas, but the Gulf of America is okay. | ||
So the spirits of President Trump seem very, very high. | ||
I mean, he did, you know, like a jaw-dropping, wide-ranging, incredible press conference yesterday. | ||
You almost, like, stand sort of, like, when you're live with these things, Congressman, you're, like, kind of, you kind of, like, are taken aback because we've been trained and boxed about the ears for so long that, like, our presidents or our leaders can't function without note cards. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
And can barely speak. | ||
And certainly couldn't, like, talk for 90 straight minutes on, like, a wide range of topics with great depth. | ||
As the former president's doctor, I assume you're giving him a clean bill of health. | ||
Oh, absolutely. | ||
He's in his greatest shape as he's ever been. | ||
I mean, he's as sharp as a tack. | ||
I mean, you can see this. | ||
I mean, look at, I mean, we've talked about this. | ||
I've talked about this for, you know, five years now, but just compare him and Biden. | ||
I mean, it's unbelievable the comparison between the two. | ||
Biden can't talk for five minutes without saying something stupid or getting lost, you know, and he certainly can't talk without note cards or teleprompters, which he can't effectively use anyways. | ||
Trump can just walk out. | ||
You know, in the middle of a hostile press gaggle, and he can stand there for hours on end answering every single question they have. | ||
It's amazing, you know, how capable he is in that regard. | ||
And it inspires confidence in American people. | ||
And honestly, that's why he's back. | ||
Yes. | ||
How quickly do you think that Joe Biden's health will deteriorate now that he won't be in the White House and he won't have the people propping him up anymore? | ||
I mean, you've been talking on this program for years about this. | ||
Congressman, you are dead on. | ||
You were right. | ||
Yeah, I started talking about it in 2019 when he was candidate Joe Biden. | ||
I was saying this guy should not be running for president. | ||
He's not fit to be our commander-in-chief and our head of state. | ||
And I was absolutely proven right. | ||
I mean, I think, you know, people figured it out as time went on. | ||
I think it was pretty obvious to start with, but it certainly got more and more obvious as each day went by. | ||
And now we know that there was a massive cover-up, you know, by the mainstream media, by those that work in the White House, by his physician, by Dr. Jill Biden. | ||
You know, they all covered this up because, you know, he was the... | ||
He facilitated the power, the authority, and the influence that they had in their particular roles. | ||
And so they wanted to prop him up and keep him there. | ||
But it's dangerous. | ||
And we're going to figure out what happened at some point. | ||
But he has not been making decisions for four years. | ||
I mean, who has been making all these decisions, these horrible decisions that have driven our country into the ground? | ||
So we can never let that happen again. | ||
And like you said, I know better than anyone what it takes mentally and physically to do that job. | ||
I've been there. | ||
I was at the White House for 14 years during three different... | ||
He took care of three different presidents, and I can tell you that President Trump is absolutely, positively, 100% ready for this. | ||
He is even more fired up and more enthusiastic than he was last time in my mind. | ||
I mean, when I'm around him now, I'm just astonished at what he's accomplishing. | ||
Really, we have 14 days still. | ||
It's like two weeks before he even is sworn in as president, and the world's been remade over. | ||
Well, the world decided, you know, as soon as the election was over in November that he was the president. | ||
And it's been amazing to see that everything's basically just been deferred to him. | ||
People think he is our president now. | ||
I mean, people in this country, people in other countries. | ||
And, you know, for all practical purposes, he is. | ||
He's already more influential in making more decisions and driving policy much, much more effectively than Biden is now or ever has in his four years as president. | ||
Are we going to see a border wall in Texas finally? | ||
Finally, I hope so. | ||
We're going to get a wall. | ||
We're going to get all kinds of stuff down. | ||
We're going to lock that border down. | ||
Yes. | ||
Good. | ||
I mean, it's wonderful to see them stop selling it for scrap, I suppose. | ||
But the damage, I guess, has been done. | ||
How serious is President Trump about the mass deportations? | ||
Clearly, this is something that's going to affect members of Congress from Texas. | ||
This is something that you're going to have a strong opinion on. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
I mean, he's all in on that. | ||
I mean, he's as serious as you can possibly get. | ||
And he's got Stephen Miller and Tom Homan helping him. | ||
I mean, those guys, you listen to them talk all the time. | ||
There is no doubt where they stand and where the president stands on this issue. | ||
There will be mass deportations. | ||
If you're not supposed to be here, you're going to have to leave. | ||
I applaud that. | ||
I'm going to help him everything I can in that regard. | ||
You know, the great state of Texas has been doing a lot over the last few years to combat the disastrous policies of the Biden administration. | ||
I'm going to work hard to make sure that we get repaid back some of that because Texas has been doing the federal government's job on the border for a long time now. | ||
Thank God they have because they've slowed things down and they've made a big difference. | ||
But now we've got the federal government helping us in the Excellent. | ||
President Trump said yesterday that the FBI, and I know this is something that you've talked about quite a bit, the FBI knows the identity of the January 6th pipe bomber. | ||
And the FBI, we know this to be a matter of fact, based on the IG report, had agents, I mean... | ||
Does the FBI know the identity of the pipe bomber? | ||
I don't know how they can't. | ||
They don't talk about it. | ||
One of the indicators is they know what's going on. | ||
It just died away. | ||
It just went away immediately. | ||
Nobody was even concerned about it anymore. | ||
That tells me that they had a part in it. | ||
They knew what was going on or they know what's going on. | ||
There's all kinds of stuff out there. | ||
We're going to find out and we're going to look into this. | ||
Thank God Kash Patel is going to be coming into the FBI and Pam Bondi is coming to the DOJ. | ||
They are going to uncover stuff and make it available to the American people. | ||
You know, I don't know what happened. | ||
A lot of the stuff that we gathered in Congress, you know, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, you know, destroyed all this evidence on the way out the door. | ||
I think they probably know a lot of what happened. | ||
They discovered it, you know, while they were in this sham committee that was designed to basically yell after President Trump. | ||
But all that evidence has been destroyed. | ||
But we're going to find it. | ||
We're going to get whistleblowers. | ||
We're going to get people that were in the rooms, people that heard the conversations, that saw what happened. | ||
And they're going to come out. | ||
And the American people will know what happened on that day. | ||
And they will know the federal government's involvement in that because I am a firm believer that the federal government was involved in a lot of that. | ||
I think that, you know, you know, some of the stuff that you just mentioned with, you know, all the informants and stuff that were down there, they know a lot more than they've told us. | ||
And there's a reason they're hiding some of it. | ||
Yes. | ||
So you're going to be working with cash. | ||
Cash, I love him. | ||
Cash is awesome. | ||
He's going to light that place on fire, man. | ||
It's going to be great. | ||
Hopefully not like Los Angeles. | ||
Not like Los Angeles, in a figurative sense. | ||
He's going to eliminate the deep state in that organization, and I cannot wait. | ||
We have a map here. | ||
Just let me check with my producers. | ||
My producers said that President Trump may have just surfaced a new map, and I just want to get your reaction to this live. | ||
I hate to put you on the spot here. | ||
It says that now this is South Texas. | ||
So you said it should be the Gulf of Texas. | ||
Now this is now South Texas, and the northern colonies will be Canada. | ||
It's awesome. | ||
I love it. | ||
It's all red, too, in case you didn't notice. | ||
I mean, yeah, you might have to take down the wall, I guess, in the sovereign American school. | ||
Who knows? | ||
Maybe just keep it up just for good neighborly, just for good neighbors kind of stuff. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
Okay, just final question here, because you did bring it up. | ||
You were Barack Obama's doctor. | ||
Right. | ||
And you had a good relationship with him. | ||
On a personal level, yeah, I didn't agree with him politically on anything, but I was active duty. | ||
You're a gentleman. | ||
Of course, you're a gentleman. | ||
You're a service member. | ||
I just got my political opinion, yeah. | ||
He's been pretty quiet. | ||
How do you think he's doing? | ||
Well, I mean, I think he's embarrassed by what happened. | ||
I think that, you know, they propped Kamala Harris up and, you know, they were a big part of that. | ||
And I think, you know, a lot of the people in the party were really leaning on them to, you know, when they realized that Joe Biden was such a colossal disaster and there was no way he was going to get reelected. | ||
I think people automatically looked to the Obamas and looked to President Obama in particular and some of the people that he had surrounded himself with. | ||
And they said, you know, you're, you know, you know, you're the you're the Messiah. | ||
You know, you got to fix this. | ||
And I think that, you know, he's embarrassed. | ||
That they failed. | ||
He helped. | ||
He did everything he could to try to get her across the finish line. | ||
But, you know, she was a broken candidate as well. | ||
And I think he bears some of the responsibility for what happened to the party. | ||
And I think that's why you don't hear much out of him anymore. | ||
Yeah, because he's embarrassed. | ||
It seems like this might have been the last ride because now the Obama magic is clearly non-transferable. | ||
Nobody's looking to the Obamas as the leader of the party. | ||
Nobody's looking to President Obama as a former president, as the leader of the party. | ||
They're rudderless right now. | ||
They don't actually have a leader. | ||
You would think by default, as popular as he was during his presidency with the Dems, that they would adopt him as their leader until they get somebody else re-established. | ||
But that hasn't happened, and that speaks volumes too. | ||
It really does. | ||
Speaking volumes is something that you do on your X feed. | ||
We encourage everybody to go follow the great Ronnie Jackson. | ||
Ronnie Jackson, TX. | ||
That's X. He has nearly a million subs. | ||
He's on his way to a million subs. | ||
We'll probably get it by the inauguration. | ||
Give me over a million, Benny. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I'll probably get it by the inauguration. | ||
My producer is also wanting to highlight a recent video that you made that you put up here, Klein. | ||
I don't know if you can see that in the... | ||
Yeah, I told you so, video. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
That's right. | ||
Told you so. | ||
And you told this program so many times, and we deeply appreciate that, Congressman. | ||
Godspeed. | ||
And keep President Trump healthy, please! | ||
Absolutely. | ||
Yes. | ||
Thank you, Danny. | ||
All right. | ||
See ya. | ||
you you Ladies and gentlemen, we are dead serious about this whole crazy Panama Canal thing. | ||
Sorry to nerd out on you. | ||
He's like, you go down these rabbit holes and you're like, wait a second, where does the world that we know it come from? | ||
It's a great Steve Jobs quote where he says, you know, understanding the world around you. | ||
Is recognizing that everything's been built by people that are not smarter than you. | ||
And are not better than you. | ||
And you don't have to live by those rules. | ||
And you can just do things, actually, without their permission. | ||
That kind of kicks ass. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, kicking ass was what President Trump did yesterday at a press conference here. | ||
And what President Trump is doing right now. | ||
Do we have breaking news? | ||
Did Donald Trump just sound off about Gavin Newsom? | ||
Since we were talking about that at the top of the show, I feel like it's important to make sure that we read the president's words on this. | ||
Gavin Newsom, we played you that old clip of Donald Trump going off on Gavin Newsom. | ||
Here's the brand new one. | ||
A fresh banger from this morning. | ||
Is that correct? | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, here we go. | ||
Gavin Newsom! | ||
Sorry, correction. | ||
How dare I? | ||
How dare I? | ||
Governor Gavin Newsom! | ||
Refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water from excess rain and snow to melt in the north, flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way. | ||
He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt by giving it less water. | ||
Okay, I'm not just trying to laugh. | ||
It's just, I think it's funny the way that Donald Trump says these things. | ||
Yesterday he said water from heaven. | ||
Was that it, ALX? | ||
Water, like it comes down from heaven. | ||
Hello? | ||
It's like amazing. | ||
A worthless fish called a smelt by giving it water. | ||
It didn't work. | ||
But didn't care about the people of California. | ||
Now ultimate price is being paid. | ||
I will demand that this incompetent governor allow the beautiful, clean, fresh water to flow into California. | ||
He is to blame for this. | ||
On top of it, no water for fire hydrants. | ||
No firefighter plans. | ||
No not firefighting plans. | ||
A true disaster. | ||
There you go. | ||
This is something that President Trump's clearly been proven right on. | ||
A reminder that California... | ||
I don't, like, don't need to belabor this point, but a reminder that California, Klein, I need my electoral college map. | ||
I gotta have it. | ||
Okay, it's going up to today. | ||
We're putting up the electoral college map right here today. | ||
But maybe we can pull up the county by county for California. | ||
Dude, California went freaking red this election cycle. | ||
And I'm not saying that it was particularly close. | ||
I'm not saying that, like, Kamala won by whisker. | ||
You know, there were million vote differences. | ||
But California, by a county measure, was a red state through and through. | ||
Check this out. | ||
This is wild. | ||
California is a red state. | ||
Look at that. | ||
Look at that. | ||
Man. | ||
And I know that some of these counties have low population. | ||
But I'm telling you, there's no such thing as a permanent red state. | ||
There's no such thing as a permanent blue state. | ||
You've got to govern. | ||
And you have to be a smart governor. | ||
And you must serve your people. | ||
California is collapsing right now. | ||
Expect that little blue wall there on the coast? | ||
Expect that'll start turning red. | ||
I'm telling you. | ||
People are so sick of this garbage. | ||
This is a very interesting note that my producers just sent in. | ||
ALX says, check out this New York Post piece. | ||
LA Mayor Karen Bass. | ||
Cut fire department funding by nearly 18 million months before wildfires turn city. | ||
18 million, that's a lot of salaries. | ||
Killer Klein, that's a lot of salaries. | ||
Yeah, that's a lot of firefighters. | ||
What's a firefighter make? | ||
$100,000? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know. | ||
But that's a lot of firefighters you just canceled there. | ||
Oh, my. | ||
Los Angeles Fire Department had its budget cut by a staggering $18 million. | ||
Financial year records show as fires continue to rage out of control, ravaging the city of Los Angeles. | ||
The drastic decrease in funding for the Fire Department was the second largest cut to come out of the embattled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' fiscal year budget. | ||
The police budget, meanwhile, increased by $126 million. | ||
Fine, but like, huh? | ||
There you go. | ||
Can you scroll down to that graphic right there? | ||
There it is. | ||
Perfect. | ||
So you see here the fire department circled in red right near the very bottom. | ||
So she cut massive amounts of fire department. | ||
But she increased. | ||
This is amazing. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
Are you kidding me? | ||
So she increased the funding for librarians. | ||
Librarians got 14 million more dollars. | ||
So she defunded the firefighters and increased funding for librarians and then increased funding. | ||
For parks and recreation, for city attorney, for the housing, like, excuse me, but what? | ||
And for cannabis regulation. | ||
Cannabis regulation got $2.2 million. | ||
$1.8 million. | ||
Sorry, I was reading the line above it. | ||
$1.8 million for cannabis regulation, and she cuts the fire department. | ||
Telling you, man, get out while you can. | ||
Get out of the cities! | ||
Get out while you can. | ||
Meanwhile, they're literally giving away their firefighting capacity to Ukraine. | ||
Do you understand? | ||
Do you understand? | ||
Oh man, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
So bad. | ||
We did see something really special yesterday, which was Donald Trump announcing the Gulf of America. | ||
We had to... | ||
Blast immediately to Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
They wanted to come on the program to talk about her new bill renaming the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of America. | ||
I don't like saying the Gulf of Mexico because we don't deadname on this program. | ||
But I do want to play it all over again because it was just so glorious, ladies and gentlemen, along with a couple of other pretty fun muscular body checks that have been happening globally. | ||
Here we go. | ||
Can't let that happen. | ||
Mexico's really in trouble. | ||
A lot of trouble. | ||
Very dangerous place. | ||
And we're going to be announcing at a future date, pretty soon, we're going to change, because we do most of the work there, and it's ours. | ||
We're going to be changing sort of the opposite of Biden, where he's closing everything up, essentially getting rid of $50 to $60 trillion worth of assets. | ||
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. | ||
Which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. | ||
The Gulf of America, what a beautiful name. | ||
And it's appropriate. | ||
It's appropriate. | ||
And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country. | ||
They can stop them. | ||
Notice how Trump says he uses a very specific language there, and he always does. | ||
It's like when he's flirting with an idea, he wonders it out loud. | ||
Sometimes at rallies he takes polls of people. | ||
But here, President Trump is literally locking it down and saying, we are doing it. | ||
He's saying, we're changing the name. | ||
And then, live on our program, right after he says that, which we were like, that's so freaking kick-ass, Marjorie Taylor Greene is like, nope, here's the legislation. | ||
It's done. | ||
It's called the Don Rowe Doctrine. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Oh, do we? | ||
Okay, cool. | ||
Look at that. | ||
The Don Rowe Doctrine. | ||
President Monroe's Doctrine was buy literally every piece of land we can get our hands on. | ||
This is why you have the America that you have today. | ||
Just a reminder that the vast majority of America was not conquered in blood. | ||
It was conquered with gold. | ||
And this is why we have our state. | ||
I currently broadcast to you from sovereign Spanish territory. | ||
Oh yeah? | ||
Like, really? | ||
Literally? | ||
Like, the state of Florida was bought. | ||
The first act of Congress was to go buy Florida from Spain. | ||
The first thing they did. | ||
It's like, make sure you have the eastern seaboard flank all locked up. | ||
It's like the Continental Congress goes and buys Florida. | ||
I don't know what they paid. | ||
I'm not sure what they paid. | ||
I don't think a lot. | ||
I don't think they paid a lot. | ||
This is how it's been done, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
And this is how it can continue to be done. | ||
They bought Florida for $5 million? | ||
Come on. | ||
unidentified
|
That would be amazing. | |
Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, this is the cover of the New York Post. | ||
We say that there is historic precedent to this. | ||
Well, you'd have to go back a couple hundred years to talk about the purchase of Florida. | ||
But you only have to go back like 50 years to talk about the purchases of like, you know, purchases of like islands from the Dutch, U.S. Virgin Islands. | ||
This is like a good example of that. | ||
The Dutch just sold us the U.S. Virgin Islands like a couple of years ago. | ||
So why can't it happen? | ||
I guess. | ||
That's the question. | ||
Why can't it? | ||
You can just do things, actually. | ||
The entire world as we know it was created by people that are not smarter or better than you, and you can change things, and you can make it better for you and your children. | ||
This is what President Trump was saying yesterday at his press conference, saying, uh, no, actually, I'm gonna make sure that America has control of Greenland and the Panama Canal. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's go. | |
President, thank you. | ||
I wanted to touch on the world on fire that you mentioned, but let's start, if we could, with your references to Greenland and the Panama Canal and so forth. | ||
Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of these areas, you are not going to use military or economic coercion? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
Can you tell us a little bit about what your plan is? | ||
Are you going to negotiate a new treaty? | ||
Are you going to ask the Canadians to hold a vote? | ||
What is the strategy? | ||
I can't assure you. | ||
You're talking about Panama and Greenland. | ||
No, I can't assure you on either of those two. | ||
But I can say this. | ||
We need them for economic security. | ||
The Panama Canal was built for our military. | ||
I'm not going to commit to that now. | ||
It might be that you'll have to do something. | ||
Look, the Panama Canal is vital to our country. | ||
It's being operated by China. | ||
China! | ||
And we gave the Panama Canal to Panama. | ||
We didn't give it to China. | ||
And they've abused it. | ||
They've abused that gift. | ||
It should have never been made, by the way. | ||
This is, I'm telling you, we like predicting the future here because of a lot of phone calls we've made over the last 24 hours. | ||
I can tell you the treaty, this is what Trump's going to base this on. | ||
The treaty says that when Panama is invaded by a foreign power, Panama that has no standing army or military, is going to use the power of the United States to protect itself. | ||
The only reason Panama exists as a country is the United States. | ||
Panama separated from Colombia in the year 1900. | ||
That's how you get a Panama. | ||
These ungrateful brats. | ||
They wouldn't even have a country without America. | ||
And now they hand all of their riches and fortune over to China? | ||
No, ladies and gentlemen, no. | ||
That's not how it's going to go down. | ||
Also, when it comes to Canada, very interesting. | ||
Donald Trump posting some memes last night. | ||
Getting the goat, as they say, of now failed Prime Minister. | ||
Justin Trudeau, I say failed because he officially resigned, and that resignation is effective immediately. | ||
Justin Trudeau is gone. | ||
Justin Trudeau bitching and mewling on X, saying, There isn't a snowball chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States. | ||
Dude, you don't have a say, okay? | ||
We don't care about your feelings. | ||
Elon Musk responding. | ||
It's just perfect. | ||
You're not the governor of Canada anymore, so it doesn't matter what you have to say. | ||
The mean tweets are back on the menu, boys. | ||
Mean tweets are back on the menu. | ||
Again, we talked about how Don Jr. went to Greenland yesterday and how he just did like a little tour de force there, handing out MAGA hats in Greenland. | ||
Looked like it went great. | ||
So it's going to be a very, very interesting time ahead. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, please, please stay tuned. | ||
Somebody who has certainly locked down, for the better, his territory and has made sure that law and order and no foreign powers or foreign evils can operate in his great Polk County is the great Sheriff Grady Judd, who is a legend, who's somebody who I've been seeing. | ||
Drop the hammer for my entire life, actually. | ||
And I've been a huge fan of this sheriff. | ||
He's probably the most well-known sheriff in all of the country because of his capacity to actually enforce the law and put criminals in prison. | ||
He's worked very closely with our future Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and the great Grady Judd joins the program live now. | ||
you you Sheriff, it's an honor to have you on the program. | ||
unidentified
|
It's my honor to be with you. | |
Big fan. | ||
I'm a big fan of your work, sir. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you, sir. | |
So you are no stranger to law and order. | ||
And when Pam Bondi was Secretary of State, was, sorry, Attorney General here in the state of Florida, you worked very closely with her to enforce the law. | ||
And you'd be probably one of the best people to speak with about... | ||
How she approaches law enforcement. | ||
So the table is yours, Sheriff. | ||
How will Pam Bondi be operating as Attorney General of the United States? | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
First, I knew Pam back when she was a homicide prosecutor at the Hillsborough State Attorney's Office before she was the Attorney General. | ||
When she was the Attorney General, she was no-nonsense. | ||
We had the pill mill problem, and she attacked that and decimated... | ||
The pill mill world. | ||
She is remarkable in every sense. | ||
She's my friend. | ||
We've worked together on a lot of cases while she was the Attorney General of Florida. | ||
After she left the Attorney General's office and was a lobbyist, she is one of our lobbyists for the major county sheriffs of America. | ||
And she walks the halls of Congress. | ||
She understands the legislators. | ||
She was able to work with us to stop some very bad legislation for the people of the United States. | ||
And we fought against that bill because some hardcore Democrats got it through the House. | ||
And we stopped it in the Senate because of Pam's lobbying work. | ||
So she is very intelligent. | ||
But what I really like about Pam, she's personable, but she's high energy. | ||
And she's all business. | ||
She's going to do what's right. | ||
And she doesn't climb mountains. | ||
She knocks them down. | ||
And that's what you'll see why she's the Attorney General of the United States. | ||
Fantastic. | ||
Do you have a... | ||
As somebody who's known and worked with Pam for so long, you clearly are cheering her on here. | ||
Do you have any suggestions for her from a national level of what you'd like to see her... | ||
Knocked down in the mountain sense from a federal law enforcement perspective. | ||
She'll now be the most powerful law enforcement agent in the country, arguably the world. | ||
unidentified
|
And she will use that authority judiciously. | |
She'll use it appropriately. | ||
And the only ones you'll hear screaming and crying and howling are the criminals. | ||
But I believe she'll focus on the illegal immigrants that are in this country that need to be released. | ||
I think you'll see her parting up. | ||
I think you'll see her hold people responsible that use fraud to take advantage of people. | ||
I think you'll see her go after the Chinese nationalists that are here committing crime. | ||
I think she'll step it up to the next level going after the people that are hacking into our systems and holding them accountable. | ||
Make no mistake about it. | ||
If anyone... | ||
Makes the mistake of thinking she is a lightweight. | ||
They're about to find out the difference. | ||
Because Pam's going to do what's right. | ||
And she always has. | ||
She's ethical. | ||
She's moral. | ||
But she's a hard-charging prosecutor. | ||
Now, what's important to me is she's in charge of the entire DOJ once she's appointed and confirmed. | ||
But think about this. | ||
She started out in the grass. | ||
On the ground, doing this at a local and a state level. | ||
So we have somebody that has experience, energy, enthusiasm, wisdom, and we just don't have, quote unquote, a political appointee. | ||
We have a seasoned veteran of leading a large state organization, of being a prosecutor working hand in glove with local law enforcement officers. | ||
And as a result, we will be a better United States of America. | ||
And I am so excited because Pam will make sure, she won't let this federal bureaucracy just lope alone at its normal slow pace. | ||
She'll be behind it, kicking all the way. | ||
And she'll tell these prosecutors, you either start putting people in jail that need to go to jail. | ||
Or we'll get somebody else that will. | ||
It's your choice. | ||
We saw that happen in Hillsborough County with a George Soros-funded prosecutor who was removed from office here by the governor. | ||
And I'm really thankful for that because I live in Hillsborough County. | ||
And this is where my children are. | ||
And I clearly want laws to be enforced. | ||
And I don't know why that's such a novel concept, Sheriff. | ||
Maybe you can opine on this. | ||
Why are law enforcement agents scared to enforce the law? | ||
And a follow-up, how different will it be under a Trump administration? | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
Well, first and foremost, in Florida, and especially in Polk County, we're not afraid to enforce the law. | ||
We've got this choice system that we've set up here. | ||
If you choose to violate the law, we're going to choose to arrest you. | ||
But it's up to you. | ||
So we're going to be your best friend or your worst enemy. | ||
And we're going to be your best friend if you're law-abiding. | ||
But if you go out here and think you're going to victimize people, we're going to lock you up before quick and smile all the way to the county jail while you're in the backseat of the car. | ||
But here's what's important to understand. | ||
There's this woke left agenda, and I can't understand why, where the hardcore Democrats think it's better to let criminals run free in society and victimize good Honest, law-abiding, tax-paying citizens and their children. | ||
I don't understand that. | ||
You're not going to see that with Trump. | ||
Now, I must tell you that I was the president of the Major County Sheriff's of America, and I interacted with Trump when he was president last time, and Jared Kushner taught the president into this First Step Act. | ||
It's something the Democrats wanted, and this was going to make everything better. | ||
The president admitted to me sometime later that was a mistake. | ||
I told them at the time, Mr. President, don't sign that First Step Act. | ||
Don't let Jared Kushner talk you into that. | ||
That's not a good idea. | ||
But the political wheels were turning, and this was going to be a compromise, and you know, all legislation's about compromise, and it passed, and it's been a total failure. | ||
They've lied to the people in the United States. | ||
About, oh, this is low-level, nonviolent felons in federal prison. | ||
Well, President Trump admitted sometime later to me, yeah, that was a mistake. | ||
It didn't turn out the way it was supposed to be. | ||
Well, we need to reverse that. | ||
And I hope he will reverse that First Step Act legislation and say, wait a minute, there are no minor low-level first-time offenders in federal prison. | ||
They're all heavy-duty drug traffickers that have spread Drugs in this state and nation. | ||
And as a result of that, people die. | ||
I think Pam Bondi will go after these fentanyl traffickers very hard. | ||
In fact, I know she will. | ||
I think the president understands that the most important thing that we can do is put bad guys in jail because people want to be safe and they want to feel safe. | ||
And you can't feel safe until you are safe. | ||
Look at your major cities. | ||
That's controlled by Democratic mayors, okay? | ||
Crime's out of control. | ||
Murders are out of control. | ||
Drug dealing's out of control. | ||
Why is that? | ||
Because people aren't doing what's right there. | ||
Donald Trump, as your president, I truly believe is going to do what's right. | ||
He's going to make sure criminals are held accountable. | ||
And I believe that from the bottom of my heart because he's put the right person in charge of DOJ. | ||
And that attitude will press down into these states and cities where they're allowing criminals to run wild right now. | ||
Yes, absolutely. | ||
I believe that people should be held accountable for that. | ||
It's like you want to see these prosecutors, many of them who have been funded and backed by George Soros, for this express purpose. | ||
The express purpose of ravaging and... | ||
Pillaging and killing and raping and murdering. | ||
They want to let those people free because they want America to fail. | ||
And yet George Soros is here getting the highest civilian honor from Joe Biden. | ||
At the same time, Sheriff, there's 159 Democrats that vote against the Lake and Riley Act to deport just violent criminals. | ||
This is demonic. | ||
It's like a sick party. | ||
unidentified
|
You know, it's frightening. | |
And I can tell you clearly and unequivocally. | ||
Donald Trump was fooled the first time on this First Step Act. | ||
He won't be fooled again. | ||
He learned from that. | ||
And Pam Bondi will hold people accountable. | ||
But think about it. | ||
159 people who were elected to public office think we should let these criminals run wild. | ||
That we should not only let the criminals run wild, but we should let the illegal criminals run wild that have done violent felonies. | ||
Well, to me, you don't need any Illegal immigrants that have committed crime in this country. | ||
Period. | ||
Yes. | ||
Of course. | ||
unidentified
|
I saw an article a while back that said, oh, illegal immigrants in this country don't commit crime at any greater proportion than United States citizens. | |
And I went, what? | ||
What? | ||
Any illegal alien in this country committing crime? | ||
Is wrong. | ||
What do you mean the fact that they're not committed at any greater percentage? | ||
And then later I saw that report was disputed as well. | ||
But my point is, you come here illegally to sell your fentanyl, your methamphetamine, to traffic children and young ladies to commit crimes. | ||
You ought to not be here in the first place, and we need to get you out of here. | ||
That has to be the top priority. | ||
Get those people out of here. | ||
Sheriff, you do something that has made you quite famous, which is that you send a message directly to the criminals. | ||
Many in law enforcement, even Republican law enforcement, as you've just talked about with the first setback, coddle criminals for some reason. | ||
These are not people to be coddled. | ||
These are the people that would wantonly attack me and my family and make life hell for regular citizens around the country who pay to have your officers protect them. | ||
And so I'd like to give you just a final parting question here, which is perhaps a message to the criminal element that exists in this country under a new Trump administration, given the fact that you are arguably the most successful and badass sheriff in all of America. | ||
unidentified
|
Think about this. | |
If you just arrest people, then you never get the message to the critical mass. | ||
That's why you have to use social media, television. | ||
But we also market to everyone we arrest. | ||
We look them in the eye on the way to the jail, our deputies, and go, you're under arrest because you're in Polk County violating the law. | ||
The people in Polk County want to be safe, and they are safe. | ||
And every time you violate the law, you're going to jail. | ||
If you get probation, which is a gift from the state, and you violate probation, you're going to jail. | ||
If you don't like it, quit violating the law. | ||
Quit violating your probation. | ||
If you don't like that, leave the county. | ||
Well, I think Donald Trump's going to give people the same message on a national level. | ||
You're either going to follow the law or I'm going to load you up and we're going to send you out of this country. | ||
Because you're here illegally. | ||
If you're here and you commit crime, then we're going to make sure you're locked up in a federal prison or a state prison someplace. | ||
We've got to suppress the violent crime. | ||
Oh, we've got to suppress all crime. | ||
So, just the violent crime is another one of those woke left things. | ||
Well, let me go back to what I believe is the root of all of this. | ||
It's called the broken windows theories. | ||
The woke left tried to push down or do away with that. | ||
Oh, the broken windows theory is not good. | ||
But if you hold people accountable for the minor crimes, the major crimes don't occur. | ||
Because the people doing the major crimes also do the minor crimes. | ||
So Donald Trump's going to come here with the popular win. | ||
With the win that, as you saw, Congress gave to him yesterday by certifying the Electoral College. | ||
And he's going to change America for the better. | ||
He learned. | ||
He admitted. | ||
I learned the first time. | ||
People took advantage of me because I was new to this job. | ||
He's not new to it anymore. | ||
He's going to do what's right for all of the American citizens. | ||
A parting shot and message to George Soros prosecutors operating now under a federal government that is run by a law and order president. | ||
What would you say to these reckless prosecutors who refuse to prosecute crime? | ||
unidentified
|
I would tell those prosecutors that you're going to be held accountable too. | |
You're going to be held accountable first at the ballot box. | ||
Then you're going to be held accountable by great governors like Ron DeSantis. | ||
If you don't do the law that you swore an oath to do, then you're going to be held accountable. | ||
There's a difference in doing away with a case where the evidence doesn't appear, the witnesses fall out on you, and then just categorically saying, oh, I'm not going to enforce misdemeanors. | ||
I'm not going to prosecute misdemeanors. | ||
You took an oath. | ||
To support the Constitution and prosecute criminal conduct. | ||
You're going to be held accountable at the state level and at the federal level and at the ballot box. | ||
So at the end of the day, the people of the United States of America have said clearly, we're tired of this woke left experience where girls... | ||
Or can't even win in a girl's sport because you got these guys playing in the sport. | ||
Where ladies can't go into a restroom without the fear of a guy coming into their restroom. | ||
That's baloney. | ||
And that criminals are allowed to run the street and terrorize and rape, rob, pillage, steal from good people. | ||
Those days are over. | ||
Those days are over. | ||
From your mouth to God's ears, Sheriff, we really appreciate how you've locked down this part of the state. | ||
Western Florida, obviously, is a wonderful place to live because of sheriffs like this. | ||
And I hope that if Pam decides to maybe retire early, that Donald Trump gives you a real solid look on the next Attorney General slot. | ||
I think you'd make a good one. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, that's nice of you to say, but I just love being the Sheriff of Polk County, where crime is at a 51-year low in our county. | |
If you want to be safe and feel safe, move here. | ||
Unless, of course, you want to violate the law. | ||
Then move someplace else. | ||
Yeah. | ||
All right. | ||
Well, you can follow the great Sheriff here on X. He's got 150,000 followers. | ||
He's got also a kick-ass helicopter, a fleet of helicopters, it looks like there. | ||
Hopefully, we can go for a ride someday, Sheriff. | ||
unidentified
|
Love to do that. | |
Absolutely. | ||
All right. | ||
God bless you and Godspeed, Sheriff. | ||
unidentified
|
Take care, my friend. | |
Take care. | ||
you you Exciting times. | ||
Man, it's so much fun to have a slate of guests that are just beaming with optimism and ready to go and grab hold of the new American era and can talk and speak with certitude and strength, muscularly, talking about what needs to be done in the country. | ||
We had... | ||
House, Senate, and Judicial represented on this program today, okay? | ||
And, of course, we've covered President Trump, so there's the executive. | ||
We've run the full Constitution on the program today, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
So if you care about your Constitution, you're clearly going to want to make sure that those who are criminal aliens get locked up and deported. | ||
Or maybe worse, right? | ||
Like, you know, quite frankly, I mean, why are we going to have to pay for Lake and Riley's murderer to live out the rest of his days? | ||
And they refused to give him the death penalty. | ||
That monster, that demon monster. | ||
I'm not a guy who's going to suffer John Fetterman. | ||
Like, obviously, John Fetterman, when given the opportunity, will vote to sabotage the Republican Party. | ||
But I'm telling you, this dude clearly has locked in a little bit. | ||
He's doing content now with Scott Pressler, which is weird. | ||
I texted Scott about that. | ||
He's like, what's going on here, pal? | ||
And now he's saying he's going to be voting for the Lycan-Riley Act and that he's going to be telling all of his other fellow Democrat senators that they better damn well do it or else they're going to lose forever. | ||
Very interesting thing to see. | ||
And we have an uplifting program here. | ||
And we like seeing things like this because it does mean that we still have a functional country with a shred of morality. | ||
Here we go. | ||
I mean, I have a lot of enormous respect for my colleague in the House, but I just happen to disagree on this. | ||
And for me, just like my friend and colleague in the Senate, it's really common sense. | ||
And I'd like to remind everybody that we have hundreds and hundreds of thousands of migrants here illegally that have convicted of crimes. | ||
And I don't know why. | ||
Who wants to defend to allow them to remain in our nation after that? | ||
And now, if you're here... | ||
And you're committing crimes and those things. | ||
I don't know why anybody thinks that it's controversial that they all need to go. | ||
unidentified
|
Do you think that this was one of, if not the biggest issue for this election? | |
Well, I think if we can't, you know, there's 47 of us in the Senate. | ||
And if we can't pull up with seven votes, if we can't get at least seven out of 47, if we can't, then that's the reason why we lost. | ||
That's one of why we lost, in part. | ||
I like to see it. | ||
I want him to lose his seat. | ||
I want him to lose his seat in Pennsylvania. | ||
I think that he'll vote far more against us than they will for us, and Pennsylvania is a frickin' red state. | ||
But I'm happy that John Fetterman is out saying things like this because it's good to have a break in the wall, right? | ||
Don't fall for the John Fetterman psyop. | ||
He's not one of us, okay? | ||
He's not a friend. | ||
But he is somebody who locks in with reality, I think, a little more than most. | ||
And he has sided with Republicans on a number of things. | ||
He has been, like, quite positive about President Trump. | ||
And who knows? | ||
If he switches parties, like, dude, switch parties, all right? | ||
How about this? | ||
I'll trade you Mitch McConnell for John Federer. | ||
It's like, you can wheel Mitch McConnell right over the Democrat side of the aisle. | ||
Mitch McConnell's frickin' writing op-eds about how much he hates Trump right now. | ||
It's so demoralizing. | ||
It's unbelievably sad. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, something that's not unbelievably sad is now blue state governors are vowing to work with Donald Trump to deport criminal aliens. | ||
Would you look at this from Fox News? | ||
Governor, Democrat governor of Massachusetts. | ||
Oh my, ALX. | ||
Oh no! | ||
ALX lives in Massachusetts and we firmly believe that he should run for governor of Massachusetts. | ||
I've been trying to get him to do that for a very long time. | ||
I told him I would personally fund his race for governor of Massachusetts as long as it costs less than $5 subway foot long. | ||
We will do it. | ||
We shall do it. | ||
ALX shall be governor. | ||
Governor ALX. | ||
It sounds great. | ||
It has a good ring to it. | ||
Anyway, apparently there is a governor of Massachusetts named Maura Healey. | ||
Now hopes that the Trump administration fixes the border crisis and will be working with immigration enforcement to deport the criminal aliens of Massachusetts. | ||
Oh, my. | ||
After fighting after vowing to fight Uh-oh. | ||
Expect to see a lot of this, by the way. | ||
This is absolutely going to be something that becomes very popular for all governors to do. | ||
Because you're going to have these masses of criminal aliens that behave criminally, terrorize the local populations of these states, and it becomes politically untenable to keep going down the line of, like, we'll protect the criminals. | ||
In just the last two years of my administration, we did see an increase in the number of shelters because of Congress's failure to fix the border. | ||
Oh my, Congress's failure to fix the border. | ||
Oh really, aren't you a Democrat? | ||
I mean, that's what happened. | ||
We saw an increase in the numbers. | ||
Donald Trump killed that bill a year ago, ran on the border, blah, blah, blah. | ||
Healy was addressing concerns about a migrant who was allegedly caught in Massachusetts with $750,000 worth of drugs and AR-15 in a hotel that was being used as a shelter. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
Cool. | ||
They're from the Dominican Republic. | ||
So she says it's an outrage to anybody. | ||
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I guess. | ||
I guess we'll have to wait and see. | ||
There is that funny, famous video of a woman who was using... | ||
There's a funny, famous video of a woman who was effectively using criminal aliens as slave labor in her house. | ||
She was from Massachusetts. | ||
I remember covering this. | ||
It was like a year ago. | ||
She's like, oh, the criminal... | ||
She's like some little old lady. | ||
And she's like, they're great. | ||
They cook for me. | ||
They clean for me. | ||
They do all my chores. | ||
I love having these criminal aliens here. | ||
And they're there. | ||
They're like from Haiti. | ||
They don't even speak English. | ||
And she's like, oh, they're great. | ||
They literally work for me. | ||
And the state pays for it. | ||
Democrats will... | ||
If given the opportunity, Democrats will always return to their roots, right? | ||
And what is their roots? | ||
Roots is the dehumanization of other fellow human beings, the enslavement, and the crushing of the human spirit. | ||
And it's really unbelievably sad. | ||
I don't know if we have time to play the full thing, but it's such a funny... | ||
It's such a hysterical... | ||
Can you just load it and just play this slide? | ||
Just one final little gift to you. | ||
This is so good. | ||
Okay. | ||
So here we go. | ||

Story you'll only see here on NBC10 Boston. | |

It's been an emotional few weeks for Willjande Joseph and her husband. | ||
First, sleeping on the floor at Logan Airport, then in Children's Hospital with their two-year-old daughter who got very sick. | ||
She felt bad as anything. | ||
Mostly because people don't know them. | ||
It's a delight. | ||
And it's really fun having them. | ||
What I realized is there's so much prejudice against refugees, mostly because people don't know them. | ||
Lisa says she feels like she has her own personal chef, as Wildande loves cooking. | ||
What? | ||
In fact, her goal is to open up her own restaurant. | ||
Okay, so this lady, so this lady is like... | ||

Goes out and gets my groceries. | ||
Fantastic. | ||
