unidentified		We've got a major rally underway right now with these numbers hitting the tape.
		The Dow Industrial is now up 532 points right now.
		Cheryl Kassoni with the numbers.
		Boom!
		Cheryl?
		We've got a market-moving report, Maria.
		Everything coming in lighter than expected.
		Inflation is easing, according to this report, for February.
		Month over month, we got a gain of 0.2%.
		The street was looking for a gain of 0.3%.
		Take a look at those numbers.
		We came in 2.8% year-over-year.
		Expectation was 2.9 percent.
		Core month over month, again, lighter than expected, up 0.2.
		We were looking for 0.3.
		And then core year over year, also lighter than expected, 3.1 percent.
		The street was looking for 3.2 percent.
		We did see, you were talking about the energy story, a little bit of a drawdown in gasoline prices.
		New vehicle prices fell month to month, gasoline prices fell month to month.
		Housing, that's still kind of a sticky issue in here, but it's a pretty nominal jump overall.
		But that's usually the biggest piece of that shelter component.
		You guys are talking about that really quick.
		Let me give you this.
		So basically half of the all items increase for the month was shelter for the month of February, but it was offset by a fall in airline fares.
		And also we had a 1% decline again for that gasoline number.
		So you still had overall the energy index just jumping just a little bit, 0.2%, but because you had electricity and that gas prices increase a little bit, but overall, The market seems to really like this report, Maria.
		Hey, hey, hey!
		Guess what day?
		Guess what?
		Guess what?
		Woo!
		Party with a grin, detentions of four.
		Storming the department, kicking down the door.
		Plunder their desk, shred the twisted scroll.
		Free the kids'minds from their brainwashed holes.
		My homework's toast, the candle snack attack.
		Looting their lies, no turning back.
		Where the rebel yell, unswipe their last feature.
		Yo-ho!
		I'm still hot for teacher.
		Guess what?
		Guess what?
		Everything will be okay.
		Guess what day?
		What day?
		It is.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It's hum day.
		are we running Is it a musical here?
		It's a musical, isn't it?
		We're running a full-scale production with brand-new songs and show tunes every single day.
		Maybe Tim Waltz is tuning in.
		Ladies and gentlemen, we have great news out of the state of Minnesota.
		This morning, we are amped and ready to go.
		Today starts the beginning of your new golden era.
		We finally have the data.
		We are shaking off the shackles, the disease, the chains of the illegitimate Biden regime that did everything in its power to destroy this great American country.
		And we stopped it.
		And we did it together.
		And boy, there is some amazing news out this morning about what's going to happen in the Senate.
		We are amped and ready to go.
		Join us, ladies and gentlemen, in the front seat to the golden era.
		Today is Wednesday, March 12th, 2025.
		Inflation crashes through the floor as gas prices are cratering down to earth, along with egg prices.
		We'll be speaking, of course, with the Department of Agriculture Secretary about egg prices today, live on the show.
		Major cuts at the Department of Education caused panic in Washington, D.C. Donald Trump literally got out of chain and chained the doors shut at the Department of Education.
		More of that in Washington.
		I want that to happen to every federal building.
		Senator Katie Brick will also be on the show, along with Leo Terrell from the Justice Department to talk about, well...
		Delivering justice.
		Leo Terrell, first time on the show, been a big fan of Leo 2.0.
		For a while, he's a regular on Hannity's program and also just an absolute bombshell of a guest.
		We're very excited about it.
		He's now serving President Trump at the Justice Department.
		So, you know, we're going to ask...
		Speaking of change, where are the arrests?
		Let's go!
		Got my coffee handy and ready to rock.
		My name is Benny Johnson and this is The Benny Show.
		Okay, before we talk about...
		This economy.
		And before we talk about some of the incredible economic news, I need you to go gold in the golden era.
		Ladies and gentlemen, this is critical.
		Physical gold is the proven consistent wealth vector over the last thousand years, 5,000 years.
		I don't know.
		I mean, maybe America, the Americas were discovered because they were in search of gold.
		What's that point?
		The point is that since the last market crash, Physical gold prices have increased by 1,000%.
		For the best-performing asset class throughout the Biden years, and ladies and gentlemen, physical gold can make sure that you have security in your investment portfolio.
		Record-high gold prices are nearing $3,000 per ounce.
		Now is the time for wealthy investors, for regular retail investors, for young investors to make sure that you diversify with a little bit of physical gold.
		For my gold purchases, I trust Advantage Gold.
		Text Benny to 85545 right now, and they'll send you a free gold investment guide.
		Plus, you can qualify for $1,000 in free silver with a qualifying purchase.
		Remember, help secure your financial future.
		Starts with making informed decisions today.
		Text Benny to 85545 right now.
		Data and message rates apply.
		Performance may vary.
		You should always consult your tax and financial professionals.
		Okay.
		Ladies and gentlemen, we got glorious, glorious news.
		I think news worth doing a Trump wins stinger.
		Because I want to talk to you about the Senate races and how the Republicans just freaking opened up the Senate right now.
		Holy smokes.
		Why not?
		Why not start the—I'm feeling it.
		I'm feeling it, ladies and gentlemen.
		We've got great news this morning.
		Here we go.
		Trump wins.
	Ladies and gentlemen.
	Three, count them, three Democrat senators from swing states have said, we're done.
	We're throwing in the towel.
	We're finished.
	And by the way, the Senate is a cushy job.
	This is why there are multiple 90-year-olds serving in the Senate.
	Jeez.
	And senators kind of keep their jobs for life.
	I mean, you really have to screw up or be totally misaligned in the Senate to lose your seat.
	You have to be like a Democrat from West Virginia or like a Democrat from Montana.
	That's what happened in this last cycle, how Republicans sort of just reset the map by winning red seats that were holdovers.
	Democrats were able to keep those seats for a very, very long period of time because the Senate, it's just really hard to budge people out of the Senate.
	When you have retirements, what it means is there's a political landscape that is totally and completely untenable that Democrats are saying we've lost already.
	And this morning, Gene Shaheen said, Decided to call it quits.
	Let's grab her announcement.
	Let's grab her resignation announcement and just put that up.
	We don't need to play the video, but she released some stupid video.
	And she said, I'm done.
	I'm done.
	I'm out.
	So in the year 2026, Republicans have an opportunity to expand their lead in the Senate by three seats, potentially even picking up seats in Minnesota.
	Michigan and New Hampshire now, as Gary Peters, Tina Smith, and Gene Shaheen have all announced that they are out.
	They're done.
	We broke them.
	They're finished.
	Here's Gene Shaheen.
	Stupid little video.
	Self-flagellating video talking about how great she is and how wonderful she is.
	She's such an icon.
	Oh, wow.
	Oh, wow.
	So special.
	Nobody cares.
	Nobody likes you.
	You're, like, such dope.
	Dopey, dumb, liberal, hack, who represents the state of New Hampshire, which I can't figure out, man.
	I can't figure out the state of New Hampshire.
	Why is New Hampshire not blood red?
	Live free or die, right, is the state of New Hampshire.
	I think maybe there's some very interesting things that happen with libertarians in New Hampshire.
	So you have, like, the right that's super right, okay?
	And they're like, Donald Trump's not right-wing enough for us.
	Anyway, then you have a bunch of people from Boston that live there too, so there's a bunch of Democrats that live there.
	It's a strange state.
	It should go red.
	It should go MAGA, this state.
	There's a guy named Chris Sununu who was the governor of New Hampshire.
	He's not a huge Trump fan, but he's not like a big-time Trump hater either, okay?
	He's just, he's a guy who's come around, right?
	Now he goes on TV and says a lot of nice things about Donald Trump.
	Polling shows that he would win in a lock.
	If he were to do it, he would win in a lock.
	That would be a massive, massive pickup.
	This could be the potential map for Republicans.
	This is huge.
	Now, they're still saying that Minnesota would be an uphill battle.
	I still say, you know, if you look at the map of Minnesota, it's crazy.
	You pull up, Alex, grab me the decision desk map of Minnesota.
	These states are wild.
	There's like two counties.
	Look at this state.
	Look at Minnesota.
	That's a Trump state.
	That's a Trump state.
	Without election fraud, without massive Somali election fraud in Minneapolis, that's been caught on camera by James O 'Keefe multiple times.
	You have Ilhan Omar advising people how to avoid ICE.
	James O 'Keefe caught a ballot harvester and smuggler on camera in these Somali communities.
	In these massive public housing projects where they can just churn out 10,000 votes, right?
	And swamp these state elections.
	It's totally fraudulent.
	James O 'Keefe caught him on camera, man.
	Look at that state.
	That's MAGA country.
	That's literally MAGA country.
	Jesse Smollett should move to Minnesota.
	This is literal MAGA country.
	I don't know what's really happening in that strange little tip.
	Of the top hat there?
	I've never been there.
	Maybe you've been there.
	I'm not exactly sure what's happening there.
	How many votes are actually being cast in those counties?
	20,000, 120,000 total votes.
	Right there, you have only...
	Goodness, you can win the county.
	You can win the county with 6,000 votes?
	With 3,000 votes?
	And look at that.
	You have virtually nobody living there.
	3,000 total votes.
	That's the presidential election site.
	Okay, whatever.
	So you can discount that top part of the state.
	The entire state is red.
	The entire freaking state is red.
	I want to get Scott Pressler.
	Scott Pressler is living in Wisconsin now, trying to flip the state of Wisconsin.
	There's a very crucial Supreme Court race in Wisconsin.
	But anyway, the point is that you should be able to win a Senate seat in Minnesota too.
	Tina Smith out in Minnesota.
	Gary Peters.
	Michigan went for Trump.
	Can we put Michigan up there?
	Michigan went for Trump.
	Gary Peters, goofball, dork, some weak-ass beard, real forgettable, dumb senator.
	And you have Gary Peters, who says he's out, baby.
	He's out.
	You got the wrong year there, pal.
	Okay.
	That's for the Democrat primary.
	Looking at the wrong year.
	You got to go presidential and go presidential and then go state by state.
	Same thing.
	Same thing.
	Michigan's a red state.
	Look at this.
	Red state.
	I don't know what's happening up there at the very top of Michigan.
	That one county.
	Too close to Canada, I think.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Too close to Canada.
	It's 30,000.
	It's less than 40,000 votes for the whole county, right?
	So it's like that kind of gives you insight into how many people live there.
	How easy you could flip these things.
	How quickly you could have a Republican Senate.
	Let's go back to the map there.
	How quickly you would have a Republican Senate.
	That is 56 seats.
	This is the potential map that's absolutely in play.
	56 seats for Republicans, 44 for Democrats in the Senate.
unidentified		Woof!
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		And based on the insanity in the House and the hilarity of Al Green and his pimp cane, wagging his pimp cane around.
		Oh man, there's a really great clip from Lauren Boebert about that.
		Lauren Boebert's in trouble in hot water for saying that he has a pimp cane.
		We said it yesterday on the program.
		She's like, wait a second, why is that racist?
		There are white pimps too.
		I freaking love Lauren Boebert.
		You can grab that clip.
		We might find some time to play it in the show.
		We have three guests on the show today and they're all big time, big time swinger.
		Big swingers, ladies and gentlemen, big hitters.
		And look, look at your country.
		It's becoming impossible for Democrats to win a national election.
		We could pick up three Senate seats.
		Now, we also have J.D. Vance as vice president.
		So that means you get a 56 technical, technically you have 56 votes.
		That means you could pass MAGA legislation and lose five senators.
		You could have five cuck Republican senators.
		There's Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell.
		These people, they become totally irrelevant.
		I'm Lisa Murkowski.
		I'm going to vote against Pete Hegseth.
		Don't care!
		Great job!
		Don't care!
		Yeah.
		This is amazing.
		This is an amazing romp.
		By the way, these senators, like, senators don't, senators don't just crash out when things are good.
		They don't crash out.
		When swings are, yeah.
		Like, they're not, They're not leaving office because they think that things are going to go better for the Democrat Party.
		And they're going to get more power.
		It's kind of like the stock market.
		People try and sell at the very top.
		They're selling.
		They're selling their entire portfolio.
		They're saying, we're out.
		So this is a...
		We're going to talk about the economy here in just a second.
		But this is a total crash out.
		And they're trying to just like...
		Mitigate the bleeding.
		These are senators saying we're done.
		Watch next.
		Dude, watch next.
		I'm telling you, I got so many good sources in the Senate.
		We have so many senators.
		We have a great senator coming on the show.
		Katie Britton, just a second.
		I have deep sources that say that there may be a real shift.
		They may lose even more because John Fetterman may go independent.
		I got a ton of people telling me that John Fetterman is really considering going independent.
		John Fetterman.
		I don't fall for the John Fetterman PSYOP.
		Obviously, John Fetterman didn't vote for RFK.
		He didn't vote for Tulsi.
		He didn't vote for Pete Hegseth.
		John Fetterman is one of those guys who obviously, like, tricks MAGA, right?
		By saying something that's just totally common sense, like, we should develop gas here.
		We should close the border.
		These are the kind of things I like.
		Don't fall for the Fetterman PSYOP.
		I want him to lose.
	I want John Fetterman to lose.
	Look at this dork.
	I need him to lose.
	But if he goes independent, which I'd be totally down for, there are a number of senators that are independent.
	Angus King is independent from Maine.
	Then that takes away another vote from Democrats.
	It takes a vote out of their caucus.
	It takes a vote out of their filibuster capacity.
	You can't count that in your filibuster capacity.
	So if John Fetterman truly does go independent, which would, I think, be a very smart move for him in a state like Pennsylvania, that's swinging right.
	Then I think that you could really even do more damage.
	43 senators.
	You know, it's a 60 proof Senate, 60 votes to get through a filibuster.
	So that means Republicans are on a precipice of almost getting anything they want.
	Here's Pennsylvania.
	This is what Pennsylvania looks like.
	You want to know what John Fetterman?
	Why sources tell me, sources the highest, like senators directly.
	The senators are telling me that John Fetterman is openly talking about switching to an independent party.
	Because of this.
	Look at these states.
	Look at these states.
	There's Bucks County right over there on the outside of Philadelphia.
	This is the pride and joy of Scott Pressler.
	Right there, winning that county.
	That's the one they tried to steal.
	Man, it's close.
	This is the one they tried to steal and then rigged the election in order to get a Democrat senator back into office.
	They didn't.
	Dave McCormick won.
	Bob Casey's out.
	The Amazing Ashley is on our team, actually lives.
	One of those little blue areas.
	We're going to keep her voting there.
	And she brings five people to the polls with her.
	And we flip Philadelphia.
	Look at that, man.
	Anyway, Colorado is also a state.
	Colorado used to be red.
	You remember?
	Like, if you're 20 years old, you remember Colorado being a red state?
	Lauren Boebert is now the senior congressional representative from Colorado.
	Yeah, so this is what they've done to this poor state.
	Colorado is a state that obviously has some real problems, all of them emanating from Denver, from open borders, from criminality.
	Colorado is a red state through and through.
	Unfortunately, too many Californians and rich egalitarians have moved there and forgot why they moved.
	Here's Lauren Boebert reminding them and telling us just a couple days ago that, listen, you could flip Colorado.
	Oh, here's Lauren Boebert with an AI of her...
	With a pip cane.
	Way to go.
	This is great.
	Okay, here is the promised Lauren Boeber clip.
	And then we'll get to the economy, I promise.
unidentified		Let's go.
		To attack me for referencing his cane as a pimp cane.
		And Grant, I stand by it.
		I have never seen Al Green actually use his cane as a support to walk.
		I have seen him shake it for years all throughout the Capitol during any meeting that I've ever been present with him in.
		And if that gold-plated cane isn't a pimp cane, I don't know what is.
		But maybe hula-hoo is really the racist here.
		Are only blacks pimps?
		Is that what I'm hearing?
		Are there no cisgender white pimps in America?
		Cut.
		BEEP clap you
		We try to have a light-hearted show here.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We do memes, right?
		And jokes and stuff like that.
		But that is comedy gold.
		We're not going to be able to top that.
		We're not going to be able to top it.
		Here's the pimp cane.
		There you go.
		Are only black people pimps?
		It is kind of racist, actually.
		Right?
		Reverse it around.
		Wait a second.
		So you're saying only black people are pimps?
		Is this your argument here exactly?
		How exactly does that work?
		Yeah.
		Make that argument, please.
		It's funny.
		I've never seen him use it for support.
unidentified		Dude.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
unidentified		Lauren Boebert coming in over the top.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I would love to get Lauren booked.
		Kramer would like a word.
		ALX is a huge Seinfeld fan.
		Okay, so as we bring up the, we're going to move over to the economy and all of the great news in the economy right now.
		I mean, it's really funny how these two topics blend.
		ALX, grab me Kramer with a pimp cane because I freaking love Seinfeld and you're exactly right.
		We can disprove this.
		ALX, this is your moment.
		You've been waiting your entire life.
		ALX is a huge Seinfeld fan.
		You've been waiting your entire life.
		We white pimps demand representation.
		We demand it.
		And maybe reparations.
		We're not sure.
		I demand representation.
		For my white pimps out there.
		If you're a white pimp, shout yourself out in the comments.
		Where's the chat?
		Chat.
		Shout yourself out.
		If you're a white pimp out there, if you're like Kramer here, Shout yourself out.
		White pimps need representation, okay?
		We're sick and tired of not being included in all the DEI quotas, all right?
		We're sick and tired of society being structurally bigoted against us.
		Everybody thinks that pimps can only be black.
		Nope!
		We've proved it.
		DEI white pimps.
		White pimp love.
		Thank you, Green Lotus.
		Thank you.
		Finally.
		Finally.
		Look at that.
		Kid Rock has one.
		Kid Rock.
		Kid Rock should run.
		Why doesn't Kid Rock run for Senate in Michigan?
		Come on, man.
		Please.
unidentified		Please.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That's the point.
		There it is.
		Look at that.
		Look at Kramer.
		Can we play that?
		Put that up.
		What ALX has right there.
		Then we got that Elon clip.
		That Elon clip with Trump.
		Talk him out.
		Here we go.
		Here's your white pimp for you.
		There it is.
		There it is.
		Yes!
		Finally, representation.
		Don't ever say!
		Libs, don't ever say we're not for equal representation around here.
		Lib, don't ever say we didn't have our DEI moment.
		This is the DEI from the Benny Show.
		This is the kind of DEI we're looking for on the Benny Show.
		There it is.
		Okay.
		So, the topics...
		Okay, so let's move.
		Pimping ain't easy, but it is easier with a good economy.
		We're going to blend these topics because at the same time that Donald Trump is shutting down entire federal departments and slashing and mass-firing federal bureaucrats, cutting waste, causing an absolute apocalypse for the parasite class in our nation.
		Goodness gracious, Danny.
		You're exactly right.
		We found another white pimp.
		We found another white pimp.
		Now we're doing recent.
		The greatest production team in the world, which is what we have here on this program, is going through.
		You found James O 'Keefe.
		James O 'Keefe got his start pimping.
		We got James O 'Keefe pimping.
		We forget the entire thing.
		All of Veritas Media, all of James O 'Keefe, OMG, he started off as a white pimp.
		In a white pimp outfit.
		How could we forget?
		With his pimp cane.
		It looks just like Al Green's cane.
		Reparations for white pimps.
		Reparations.
		You want to talk about real equity?
		Well, how about some white pimp equity, okay?
		Can we just start?
		Can we just start with a little love, all right, for James O 'Keefe and Kramer?
		Here's Elon Musk saying that when you destroy the federal bureaucracy, when you slash and annihilate the waste of the government, you will fix inflation.
		You will fix consumer pricing.
		You will fix the economy.
		This was a prediction that was made two and a half weeks ago when there was a lot of attacks against Doge.
		There still are.
		And a lot of attacks against President Trump's approach to the economy.
		OK, so let's listen to the statement here from Elon and Trump, and then we'll check in on the results in just a second.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		If we address the massive deficit spending, the sort of waste in the government, We can actually address inflation.
		So provided the economy grows faster than the money supply, which means you stop the government overspending and the waste, and the output of real useful goods and services exceeds the increase in the money supply, you have no inflation.
		And you also drop the interest payments that people pay.
		Because if the government...
unidentified		Wave so high.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		The reason the interest payments are so high is because the national debt keeps increasing.
		So the government is competing to sell debt with the private citizens.
		This drives up the interest rate.
		So if you cut back on the deficit, you actually have an amazing situation for people because you get rid of inflation and you drop the interest rates.
		And that means people's mortgage payments go down, their credit card payments go down, their car payments go down, their student loans go down, everything.
		Their life becomes more affordable and their standard of living improves.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so let's do anecdotal and then we'll do at-scale data.
		Here's anecdotal data.
		This is what I saw driving into the studio today.
		Here's a gas station that's right next to my house in Tampa, and the cost of gas was below $3 a gallon.
		I haven't seen that since I moved to Tampa.
		What's the cost of gas where you live?
		Let us know in the comment section.
		What's the cost of gas where you live?
		Now, some people, there's places like New Jersey, where the price of gas has probably doubled this, sadly.
		And it just remains like that because of different laws.
		But the state taxes gasoline differently everywhere, yet the basis has still got to be cratered from where all-time highs were.
		I mean, it was like close to $6 a gallon.
		So I'm looking at, it was $6 a gallon maybe like 18 months ago here?
		$5 and $6 a gallon?
		You're looking at...
		Half.
		Gas prices, half of where they used to be.
		And cratering like a rock.
		Now, what does this mean?
		Here's the at-scale inflation data.
		Look at this.
		Here's the core price of inflation.
		This is, of course, the CPI number.
		This is the most accurate number.
		This is the number that they have tried to rig, that they have tried to manipulate.
		And for those haters who come at me on social media as like, hey, look, Trump's crashing the economy.
		No, actually, Donald Trump is simply giving you the reality of the economy.
		If you've been paying attention, you will remember that for the last 28 months, the federal government has revised downward.
		The job number.
		Revised upward the cost of inflation.
		Has reported fake numbers.
		You've been living in a fake fever dream of an economy.
		All of it was like a bender.
		Everyone was drunk and on drugs.
		No one was connected to reality.
		And now the entire system is being shaken.
		There's going to be instability.
		Markets are going to correct, which is what happens.
		And now we're heading back to reality.
		The numbers are real.
		And the numbers today show that inflation has cooled beyond what was expected.
		That job openings and job numbers have skyrocketed.
		And the economy, of course, is responding to that.
		Look at this.
		This is the inflation numbers.
		And you can see, of course, there when President Trump took over, they were sky high.
		They came down just in time for the election.
		You can see right there.
		It's funny how they can do that, right?
		But where were we living?
		Right?
		Where were we living?
		The inflation numbers where we were living right back at the beginning of the summer.
		Here, let's go back to June and May.
		You can see they were cripplingly high in the 4%, 3% to 4%.
		And you can't run an economy like that.
		What this means is that the value of the dollar is going to be inflated completely out.
		So every dollar you make effectively disintegrates in your own hand because they can become worthless.
		They become worthless through inflation as you're holding them.
		It was catastrophic levels and it went on for years.
		This crash down is the return to reality.
		So you see President Trump is sworn in in January and then the policies begin.
		Less federal spending, less printing and blowtorching money into the money supply.
		And less corruption inside of our government, which also leads to inflation.
	So, what are now the results?
	Press Secretary out with a banger today.
	Lowest core inflation in four years.
	Lowest mortgage rates since December.
	Airline fares down, gas prices down to the lowest they were in four years.
	Ge Aerospace announces a billion dollars in U.S. manufacturing.
	Japanese beer makers are announcing investments in Wisconsin.
unidentified		Okay.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is what happens when the markets believe there are adults in charge.
		Inflation.
		Promises made, promises kept from the Trump war room.
		January 3%, February 2.8%.
		Even CNN gasping at this.
		CNN saying this economic data is...
		Exceptional today.
unidentified		Let's go.
		Finally, we have some good news on the economy and really the number one issue for many Americans, the cost of living.
		So we just learned that consumer prices in February increased by 2.8% year over year, 0.2% month over month.
		Both of these figures were a step in the right direction, and both were better than expected.
		So this is definitely very encouraging to see, because it's going to, I think, relieve some fears that inflation was perhaps re-accelerating, because this actually breaks a streak of four straight months, where I think you could see it on the chart all the way to the right, where the inflation rate was going in the wrong direction, right?
		It was going higher and higher.
		Finally, we're seeing it dip.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So, ladies and gentlemen, this is even CNN saying, finally, we're seeing inflation dip.
		Milton Friedman has, you know, I don't pretend to be some economic genius.
		I depend, I like stand, you like stand on the shoulders of actual giants.
		And the way that you properly understand something is if you can explain it simply.
		This is why we love memes.
		This is why...
		We are such fans of memes on this program because if you can explain the national political dialogue, these complex situations in simplistic form, it means you have to have mastery of them.
		If you can laugh a little bit along with it, then it really means that you can reach the masses with this information.
		That's why political cartoons are so powerful.
		That's why the modern version of a political cartoon, memes, are so powerful.
		That's why we're big fans of them on this program.
		Milton Friedman explained inflation so simply and so succinctly.
		Greatest economist of our time.
		Milton Friedman says inflation is simply government spending.
		That's all.
		If you're spending too much as a government, you're going to inflate the currency.
		That's it.
		And all government spending is taxes.
		So it's either a direct tax that the government is passing, saying we're going to tax you now more.
		The income tax levels have risen.
		Or it's an indirect tax, which is actually far more pernicious because the tax system can be Teared out, right?
		You can say, really rich people pay more taxes.
		Really poor people don't pay as much taxes.
		Okay, that's the way that our system is.
		I would probably advocate for the flat tax.
		I've given an opportunity to rewrite the tax code entirely and just everybody pays the same tax.
		But anyway.
		Remember 999?
		999, feeling fine.
		If you know, you know.
		There's...
		A far more pernicious and evil tax, which is inflation, which is government spending.
		Government spending too many dollars, printing too many dollars, and that affects all of us.
		There's a tax on everyone, even cripplingly poor people and people that can't afford it, because those people need to buy eggs as well.
		And so it's all tied to government spending.
		And so with Donald Trump fixing government spending, then you're going to see the obvious results here.
		The obvious results are that you're going to have egg prices going down.
		Here's the price of eggs.
		We're going to talk with the Secretary of Agriculture about this in just a moment.
		Price of eggs, ladies and gentlemen.
		There you go.
		Brooke Rawlins.
		Look at that.
		Cratering down.
		And then it's going to be tied.
		So much of this is also tied to the price of fuel because it doesn't matter what commodity that you're using.
		You need fuel to get that commodity to your home.
		So Trump's attacking this in the only way that you actually fix inflation, which is more fuel, lower gas prices, less government spending.
		It's pretty simple, actually, the equation.
		The stock market responding, by the way, by rip-roaring.
		Here's Maria Bartiromo this morning.
unidentified		...underway right now with these numbers hitting the tape.
		The Dow Industrial is now up 532 points right now.
		Sheryl Krasone with the numbers.
		Boom!
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Cheryl?
unidentified		We've got a market-moving report, Maria.
		Everything coming in lighter than expected.
		Inflation is easing, according to this report, for February.
		Month over month, we got a gain of 0.2 percent.
		The street was looking for a gain of 0.3 percent.
		Take a look at those numbers.
		We came in 2.8 percent year-over-year.
		Expectation was 2.9 percent.
		Core month over month.
		Again, lighter than expected, up 0.2.
		We were looking for 0.3.
		And then core, year over year, also lighter than expected, 3.1%.
		The street was looking for 3.2%.
		We did see, you were talking about the energy story, a little bit of a drawdown in gasoline prices.
		New vehicle prices fell month to month.
		Gasoline prices fell month to month.
		That's still kind of a sticky issue in here, but it's a pretty nominal jump overall.
		But that's usually the biggest piece of that shelter component.
		You guys are talking about that really quick.
		Let me give you this.
		So basically half of the all items increase for the month was shelter for the month of that.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		but it was offset by a fall in airline fares and also we had yeah When CNN is admitting that finally the inflation numbers have come under control, you know that we are winning.
		And a point that we make regularly on the program, which is people don't care.
		People don't care.
		We have a nuanced system, and you can go as deep down the rabbit hole as you want.
		You can get as obsessed with this as you want.
		And we try our hardest to be obsessed with it, but in a way that makes sense, in a way that we can explain.
		Like, here's gas prices.
		This is what people actually care about.
		This is it.
		This is all people care about.
		Because the day-to-day...
		I don't like politics.
		I had this conversation with somebody.
		I don't like politics.
		Politics, yeah, I don't really care about politics.
		Well, bro, you buy eggs and you buy gas, and that's directly tied to government spending.
		It's directly tied to your national debt.
		The cost of your home, the value of your retirement, the ability for you to retire at all, which is an important question in life.
		Like, how will you die?
		How will you live?
		Tied directly to politics.
		So whether you like it or not, you're involved.
		You're in the system.
		So you might as well care a little bit about it.
		And care about the people that are fixing it and the people that are making it worse.
		When people buy eggs, which they do every day, and when people buy gas, they do every day, this is a touch point.
		This is why these things are so important.
		Here's gasoline prices.
		Crazy, man.
unidentified		Look at that.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		In 2022.
		That's insane.
		Look at that.
		U.S. national average.
		$5 a gallon.
		Do you remember paying $5 a gallon?
		U.S. national average.
		$5 a gallon.
		Right there.
		Joe Biden.
		And what is that?
		Joe Biden shutting down all of the oil reserves.
		Joe Biden selling off our strategic petroleum reserves, which should have landed him in prison, to our enemies.
		He sold it to China.
		Joe Biden refusing to drill.
		Joe Biden refusing to give more leases.
		Joe Biden spending so much effing money.
		Inflation is just a tax.
		Inflation is just a tax that's tied directly to government spending.
		If you want to know.
		Where inflation comes from, look at how much money the federal government is spending.
		If you want to know why things are so expensive, look at how much money the government is spending.
		That is the answer to every economic question.
		How much money is the government spending?
		Let's move on over to today.
		Boom, baby!
		Look at that.
		Lowest it's been in four years.
		Crashing right down through, they're going to have to actually expand this graph.
		Because it's going to crash right down through the bottom barrier there at 2.8.
		It's amazing.
		U.S. inflation slowed more than expected in February with core inflation posting its smallest gain since 2021.
		The data was gathered before President Trump began to ramp up his tariff wars this month, so we'll see how that changes.
		The consumer price index rose 2.8% over the last 12 months.
		Below the 2.9% gain that economists have expected, core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, came in at 3.1.
		The lowest since April 2021.
		Dow Jones futures rose hundreds of points.
		Softer inflation report.
		The tariff battered markets going to breathe a sigh of relief.
		Seeing that the economy is finally coming to heal.
		And literally healing.
		So you have a winning concept here.
		The winning concept is we slash government spending.
		We end bloated government spending.
		We fix the American economy.
		Everybody wins.
		And this is where we were with President Trump running.
		This is where we were with President Trump running in 2020.
		Remember that?
		This is the unstoppable Donald Trump.
		Remember how good the economy was in 2020?
		Before Dr. Fauci created a virus and loosed it with the CIA on the world.
		Single greatest mass murderer of our lifetime is Dr. Fauci.
		And we have the data to back that up.
		Ladies and gentlemen, This is the unstoppable Trump.
		When gas prices are at a buck a gallon, right?
		When egg prices are at a dollar a dozen, this is the unstoppable Trump because it's touch points for real people's lives.
		Okay.
		So how do we do more?
		Well, Donald Trump, yesterday, Department of Education fires half of its staff.
		Closed today.
		They said, everybody take your computers and go home.
		We're locking the doors at 6 p.m.
		I would love to be in the Department of Education right now to see the entire giant.
	Building empty.
	It's such a hideous building, by the way.
	It's a disgusting, brutalist eyesore in Washington, D.C. Half of the staff have been fired.
	More than 1,300 Department of Education staffers were terminated by Trump administration on Tuesday after the employees received an ominous notice instructing them to stay home.
	Today, we are beginning the process to cut the total number of staff at the Department of Education roughly in half.
	Said senior department education staffer.
	As part of the reduction force process, the 1,300 employees have been laid off.
	The official noted that nearly 600 people have already left the department via voluntary measures, but through the federal deferred resignation program, a separate department buyout initiative offered employees earlier this month.
	The Trump administration to work a streamline at the agency and other 63 staffers are on probationary employment.
	Less than a year of service time were fired last month.
	We're focusing on eliminating the full teams whose operations are either redundant or not necessary for functioning of the department.
	It makes you wonder, like, exactly how many of those were there?
	Like, why does the Department of Education need this many thousands of employees?
	Somebody explain that?
	Has, like, the education gotten better in the country?
	With every employee?
	Like, have you ever had somebody from the feds in education come into your school district and make anything better?
	For your kids, of course there shouldn't be a department of education.
	Of course these things should be handled by the states.
	Donald Trump's going to do the exact same thing with FEMA.
	You bring it down to the state and local level, and we say it regularly on the show, like we do talk a lot about national politics, but the way you affect your day-to-day life on a level that you can truly feel is local politics.
	State politics, the person who's the mayor of your town, the person who's passing property taxes on your city.
	Filling potholes, that's a way to, like, actually effectuate.
	And that's where this dollar is spent better.
	It's spent better at the state level than at the federal level.
	Here's Linda McMahon taking the people's elbow to the Department of Education.
	Let's go.
linda mcmahon ▲ ● ▼		Well, this is my fifth day on the job.
		And so, you know, I did serve in the first administration of the SBA.
		But so when I got to the Department of Education, the president said, look, I need an executive.
		I need a leader in the department.
		And so when I got there and I found out, I said, okay, we have to identify where the bloat is, where the bureaucracy is, and let's start.
		We're going to start there.
		Because the programs, so many of the programs are really excellent.
		We need to make sure that that money does get to the states.
		We want more money to be able to go to the states.
		And that's what...
		The president said all along, if we get rid of the bureaucracy, the states will get more.
		It'll go directly into the states.
		Block grants to states.
		Perhaps block grants without so many strings and red tape attached to it.
unidentified		What's your interaction been with Elon Musk during your very brief tenure so far?
linda mcmahon ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's been excellent.
		And I did co-chair the transition committee going into the administration.
		Had a chance to work with him there.
		I have met with him twice.
		And we have Doge.
		A couple of those three, I think, those fellows that are in our department, and I look at it as an audit.
		You know, if you were in the private sector, this would be an audit.
		It turns up a lot of things in the audit.
		Some of you look at it and say, no, we can get rid of that.
		No, no, no, this is the implication that you don't understand, so we can't get rid of that.
		So I think...
unidentified		So they have read-only access to the files?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		To your grant files and so forth?
unidentified		Budget files?
linda mcmahon ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they're not.
		Changing any of the budgets of that sort.
		They're there to go, to find out information, to make suggestions.
		But, you know, the secretaries and the agency heads are actually the ones who run the departments and make the final decisions.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All right, ladies and gentlemen.
		Rocking and rolling.
		This is how you fix the economy.
		You slash and burn the feds.
		Fox News with a very good breakdown of what these cuts are at the Department of Education.
		And, hmm.
		How there's a lot more slashing and burning than we even know of going on in Washington, D.C. The biggest scandal of all yesterday we'll get to in just a second.
		Here we go.
		Here's a breakdown.
unidentified		I want to show our viewers at home what this all means here.
		You've got about 50% of the workforce, the Department of Education, impacted by this decision.
		How does that break down based on employees right now?
		Back at Inauguration Day, January 20th, you had 4,133 employed.
		Now you're down to 2,100, and it's just right smack down the middle, 2,183.
		Who are these employees?
		How did the numbers break down?
		Simply put, they laid off more than 1,300.
		But earlier, a few weeks ago, that about, well, close to 600, 572 who took the early retirement package, okay?
		And then they had 63 who were dismissed.
		So that's what you're left with, right?
		So if you go back to, well, this number here.
		From Inauguration Day to where you are now, this 2,100 number is possible.
		They could be absorbed into other departments in the U.S. government, which would, in effect, fulfill Trump's promise of trying to shut down the Department of Education.
		However, you're going to need congressional approval to get to that point.
		But as of today, that's where we are, the numbers on the board.
		Back to Dana now.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is how you fix it.
		Feds aren't going to like it, but everybody else in the country does.
		A very quick reminder to the wonderful Betty Brigade, to the chat, and to everybody who might be concerned about these feds losing their jobs.
		For some inexplicable reason, it's very strange, the five counties surrounding Washington, D.C., even though those counties are swamps, even though those counties have no natural resources, No particularly viable or industrious tech sector.
		No interesting background, like they didn't build the airplane or the automobile.
		Those five counties are the single richest in the entire country.
		Not only are they richest in the entire country, the median salary in those five counties around Washington, D.C. is $200,000 a year.
		The next closest...
		In Manhattan is $98,000 a year.
		That's half.
		This is what the absolute glut, this obese spending problem that we have in this country, and it needs to be, this is why, we say drain the swamp, it needs to be drained.
		Many of these people, maybe they got this legally, maybe they didn't.
		Maybe this is why USAID is slashing and burning their documents.
		There's a much bigger scandal here, and we'll see, because the Trump administration also said, you know, came in over the top on this, but this was the news from yesterday.
		Senior official at USAID instructed a number of the agency's remaining staff to convene at the agency's former headquarters and to...
		Burn and destroy documents stored there, many of which contain sensitive information.
		The materials earmarked for destruction include the agency's classified safes and personnel documents, the Ronald Reagan Building.
		An email sent to the USAID's acting executive director, Erica Carr, and obtained by Politico.
		We have the email right here.
		You can see it, ladies and gentlemen, saying, yeah, it's time for you to show up to your work area and we are going to get burn bags.
		And the shredders.
		Get ready.
		If you need to use the burn bag, do not overfill it to ensure the bag can be closed with staples on top and burned with all your secret information.
		First off, I mean, it's worth noting, why is there so much top secret information at USAID?
		I thought it was just a charity organization to build schools in Africa.
		Nope.
		Clearly a CIA cutout, right?
		As Mike Benz says, for work that's too dirty for the CIA, go to USAID.
		And then what's going on with all this document destruction?
		I mean, this seems like a huge scandal.
		Many were calling for Pan Bondi to send federal agents over to the building right now to figure out how the mismanagement of $40 billion for USAID potentially having all this evidence destroyed.
		However, there was a Trump official.
		Named Anna Kelly, who's the Deputy White House Press Secretary, who came in over the top here and said the USAID building will be occupied by Customs and Border Patrol.
		This was sent out to roughly 3,000 employees.
		The documents involved were old, courtesy documents from other agencies, and the originals still exist on classified computer systems.
		So do not get caught up in the hysteria.
		Okay.
		Still seems very, very suspicious to us.
		Maybe it's something worth talking about with a great senator.
		From the state of Alabama, Katie Britt, who joins our show live right now from inside of the United States Senate.
		Boy, the landscape changing so very quickly, so fast, and it's so exciting.
		And so welcome back, Katie Britt, to the program.
unidentified		Thank you.
		Thank you.
		you you Amen.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Senator, good morning, and you must...
		Be beaming this morning because there is some very happy news about the Republicans not only keeping their majority but potentially increasing it with three Senate Democrats resigning, or not running again, from swing states in New Hampshire and Michigan and Minnesota.
		So this has got to be a cheerful, very bright day in the Republican Senate.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Look, I mean, we look at what we've done with 53 senators.
		It's exciting.
		For the most part, we have stuck together.
		We've made sure that President Trump got his cabinet and on the fastest pace.
		Ever before.
		So excited about that.
		And then think about growing that majority.
		Benny, think about what that means.
		Think about the good things, the results that we can deliver on behalf of President Trump to the American people if we're able to do that.
		And so I think you nailed it.
		There's a lot of states in play.
		There's also states we need to go after, like the stag next door of Georgia.
		I believe that Georgia is a red state.
		I know that they share our values.
		I know that they need someone that actually fights for their people.
		So in addition to the ones you named, I think that we've got some other opportunities out there to really help us grow it.
		And Elon said it the other day.
		He said, look, he came and met with us and he said, I think after that, the other night after that joint session, watching the way the Democrats behaved, listening to President Trump's resounding success and message, he said, I think we can get to 60 senators.
		And wouldn't that be something?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yes, this is how the state of Georgia votes.
		You can see it's like clearly a red state.
		We've been showing these maps all morning, Senator.
		And saying, like, man, these states, like, Minnesota's a red state.
		New Hampshire's a red state, right?
		Michigan's a red state.
		These are, like, red states.
		Ten?
		One out of every ten counties goes blue or less.
		And so it does seem abundantly winnable.
		What is the projections right now internally?
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we're excited, Benny.
		I mean, sincerely, like you look at the Republican conference, we've had record-breaking fundraising quarters, you know, both first and fundraising months.
		So we're on record to continue to do that.
		And that's because people are excited.
		People see we're actually, we didn't just talk about these things for four years under President Biden.
		We're in office and now we are actually doing them.
		I mean, today I went over with EPA administrator Zeldin where he actually rolled back or is in the process of rolling back the waters of the U.S. And I know probably many of the people that you know know this.
		This has been harming our farmers.
		I mean, our agriculture community has been under assault from a number of different things in the Biden administration.
		And so to start to see relief from those things, to start to see common sense put back in place like this EPA administration is actually saying, OK, we saw what Sackett said in the court.
		We're going to make sure we know our farmers are the best tenders of their land that are out there.
		So, Benny, it's just common sense and people are responding to it.
		Our internals are showing people are excited about the work President Trump has done.
		They are so grateful that we have a Republican House and Senate that are sticking together to achieve those things.
		We know that our window is two years, Benny, but if we are able to do what we told the American people we wanted to do and we were committed to doing, we know we'll have the opportunity for four.
		If you think about the difference in 53 to 55 or 56 or, heck, let's go with Elon 60, the difference we could make for the American people in submitting these common sense values, rolling back this red tape regime, getting these bureaucrats out of here.
		I heard you talk earlier about the amount of money that the people are making.
		You know, with the Department of Education, you've got bureaucrats there in the Department of Education that on average make twice the amount of a teacher.
		I'm sorry, who's the most important person?
		It's that teacher educating that student in that classroom.
		We're going to have a Department of Education that puts parents, states, and localities back in the driver's seat and stops rewarding a bloated federal bureaucracy that tends to tie strings to every single thing to actually infiltrate a liberal agenda.
		So it's a good day.
		It's a new day.
		And our internals are showing that people are responding to that and states that people...
		I didn't think would be in play or actually in play, but I think Georgia is at the top of that list.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so, okay, let's move there.
		So Georgia is one of those very curious little states that had, of course, water pipe problems during the 2020 election.
		It's a curious state for Republicans based on population density and based on the representative there, John Ossoff, who currently represents it.
		And I don't think he's doing a great job.
		Do you know who's going to potentially run in Georgia?
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		I don't, Benny.
		And you would probably, you know, I said this to you the other day, you always get the inside scoop even before I do.
		I have to go look and see what you're saying and kind of direct it that way.
		There's obviously a number of people I'm sure that would be interested in it.
		What we want to do is we want someone that supports President Trump, his vision of putting America first, and also understands that, you know, you've got to win that general against John Ossoff.
		You're looking at that state.
		Obviously, everyone's getting to see this.
		This is a red state.
		It is literally next.
		I agree with Georgia on almost everything except for on Saturdays in the fall when we have to play them in football games.
		But I know that the people of Georgia are ready to have someone that actually represents their values and fights for their people.
		Almost 100% of the time with Chuck Schumer.
		And Chuck Schumer does not represent the values of Georgia.
		You look at the agriculture community that I just referenced.
		It is abundant in Georgia.
		We need somebody who's going to fight for our farmers and ranchers, who's going to make sure that they have an opportunity to continue to feed and clothe America.
		when you look at our small businesses and these overburdensome regulation that Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden have ensured is weighing down the main streets across our across our states and countries.
		We need someone who gets that and is willing to fight for them.
		We need someone who's willing to say, Benny, that biological boys should not be playing in women's sports, period.
		And John Ossoff And so when we had that vote, that was an opportunity to stand firmly with the people of Georgia, to stand with young women, to give them opportunity to learn and grow and thrive and be a part of a team and in a safe and fair environment.
		And he couldn't do that.
		That is just the tip of the iceberg.
		We can go down his voting record and you will see that time and time and time again, he refuses to stand up for the people of Georgia and stands down.
		To the will of whatever it is that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Chuck Schumer tell him he needs to do.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he votes against the Lake and Riley Act, right?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That's a Georgian.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Well, he actually came to the table and voted and voted for that.
		I think my question would be is, you know, it would have been really nice to have an opportunity for him to help that get across the finish line.
		We worked on that.
		Mike Collins there from Georgia got it on the floor numerous times in the House.
		You know, it was blocked by his Democratic colleagues, Benny, last year when I went to the floor to try to get it moving and not once.
		Did I see him stand beside me and stand beside the people of Georgia?
		We want actual results on that.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		If it's a courtesy vote, it doesn't matter.
		He is in favor of the policies that led to her death.
		And he hasn't said a single word against open border policies.
		He's a complete weasel.
		He's a complete weasel, a complete fraud.
		He shouldn't hold that seat.
		And we look forward to...
		Yeah, showing them the door.
		Okay, so speaking of people who are being shown the door right now, there's a lot of turnover at the Department of Education, a lot of turnover at the DOJ and the FBI.
		The commentary today is, does the Department of Education deserve to exist?
		What's your stance on that, Senator?
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Look, this is something that I ran on, Benny.
		I think that we've got to return this to the states.
		I think local leaders, state leaders...
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So get rid of the Department of Education.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Yes, absolutely.
		Look, let's go back to when it was started.
		It was started to obviously try to close the gap between the have and have nots, to elevate American education, making it, you know, crystallizing its spot at the top of kind of the world hierarchy of education.
		Has that happened, Benny?
		No, it has not.
		You can look at the stats then, you can look at the stats now, but the progress has not been made.
		I mean, we are looking right now, you're looking...
		Looking at other people in other countries continuing to move forward, you look at us and we've got scores that are three points lower than pre-COVID levels.
		When it comes to things like, you know, math and reading, you look at our proficiency of reading of our eighth graders, 69% of them, 69% were not proficient in reading at grade level.
		That is completely and totally unacceptable.
		If this were a private business, it would be out of business, right?
		I mean, this is...
		Absolute failure.
		And that is objective.
		I mean, looking at that failure, we've got to make sure that we empower these local leaders to educate their students, these states, to do what they need to do, to try to change the trajectory of what is possible for so many.
		I mean, I've heard my colleague Tim Scott say that education is the closest thing to magic that we have in America.
		Look, when you're talking about actually closing the gap between the have and the have-nots, that foundational opportunity of being educated.
		And when I say education, I mean on math, on reading, on actual science, on things that matter to you being able to be successful and choose a career path, to choose a job opportunity that can provide for your family.
		We are failing these kids.
		So what we are doing is not working.
		It is time to try something different so that we can actually close that gap, so we can create that foundation, and that these kids have an opportunity to thrive and, Benny, achieve their American dream.
		They are totally fine with the status quo.
		Look at Democrats.
		Okay, I want you to think back to this.
		Democrats decided to storm the Department of Education.
		You remember that a few weeks ago?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Right?
unidentified		Okay.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, insurrection, right?
unidentified		Yeah.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		We decided to storm the Department of Education.
		Now, their storming of the department was because they were afraid that the department was going to be audited.
		Remember?
		It was not...
		I'm like, your intentionality here is completely and totally misplaced.
		You need to go storm the Department of Education when you find out that our test scores are lower than they were pre-COVID.
		You need to storm the Department of Education when you realize that that gap is not closing between the have and the have-nots.
		You need to storm the Department of Education when you find out that only 69% of our 8th graders are not reading at proficiency level.
		Do you understand?
		That's the difference in fighting for beer.
		Bureaucracy, bloated bureaucracy, or fighting for individuals, fighting for Americans, fighting for students, fighting for our kids, fighting for the next generation.
		Once again, Democrats completely missed the mark, and they got it wrong.
		But Republicans get it.
		President Trump campaigned on this as well.
		He said, we're going to return the power to the states, and we're going to give people an opportunity to create a system that actually works for the people they serve and not the other way around.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, I'm so glad that you brought up this.
		Let's put that Maxine Waters clip back up.
		This is amazing.
		A really remarkable clip here where they're berating and harassing.
		They had to call in the Department of Homeland Security police, actually, to lock the place down because the Democrats outside were getting so violent with the employees there.
		It's really amazing.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		What is she actually, what is she storming it for?
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		What was the reason that she was storming it for?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Listen, I don't exactly know.
		I know that this is the member of Congress that called for violence against Trump supporters.
		And so this would, you know, take a step back.
		This is what you would call an insurrection, all right?
		It turns out that Kash Patel, breaking news, is actually giving documents on January 6th to Republican investigators.
		Probably the second happiest guy in all of the Senate is Chuck Grassley right now because the FBI is finally giving him documents, right?
		And we're learning about the pipe bomber.
		Now, we've said many, many times, Senator, that this is the one J-6 that I absolutely need the feds to catch.
		This is the person that actually instigated in a terroristic manner, tried to cause terror, right?
		Okay, great.
		Like, we have total and complete agreement.
		Yet it's the one person that we haven't been able to find.
		It's the one person that's sitting there using a cell phone.
		They lied, said the data was corrupted, on camera, everywhere.
		The tapes have clearly been manipulated.
		By federal agencies, and now Cash Patel is playing ball with Jim Jordan and also with Chuck Grassley.
		Chuck Grassley is saying, Oh, thank the Lord, which is an exact quote from Chuck Grassley.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Hey, and Chuck Grassley, Benny, that was one of my favorite things.
		You know, I am obviously a new member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
		One of my favorite things, both in Pam Bondi and Kash Patel's hearing, was Chuck Grassley laser focused on when I asked for documents, am I going to get them?
		To the point where by the time it got to me on the dais, we're all like, make sure you give him the documents first.
		We continue to see them slow walk.
		I mean, look, I exposed last year, I had a whistleblower come to me.
		Look, DOJ in general, you know, if you remember after the leaked Dobbs decision, we had the picketing and parading in front of the Supreme Court justices' homes.
		It was in direct violation of 1507, direct violation, but yet the U.S. Marshals Service was directed not to make any arrests.
		So when Merrick Garland was asked, when we asked him, you know, why haven't you prosecuted anyone with regards to this?
		He said, well, there were no arrests made.
		Well, we exposed that that's because U.S. Marshals.
		We're actually actively deterred from making arrests.
		We have the slides.
		We showed them.
		I then sent over and directed that I wanted the information.
		I wanted the documents.
		I wanted all the things.
		What do you think that the Department of Justice did, Benny?
		Ignored it.
		I mean, for over a year, almost a year, it didn't even get a response.
		It wasn't until he was coming back in front of me that he sent a very subpar response that answered none of the questions.
		Those days are gone.
		We're going to expose the corruption, and we're going to expose things like that, where there's unfair scales of justice, where when it's Republican...
		Supreme or deemed, you know, a Republican appointed Supreme Court justice and confirmed that the rules are different.
		They're not.
		And I'm excited that those days are over.
		And I know that Cash and Pam are going to continue to work hard and they're going to make sure that Chuck Grassley gets his documents.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You're on this Judiciary Committee.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Have you seen any of these documents on the J6 pipe bomber?
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		No, not yet.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		But happy to obviously come back on if we have an opportunity.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		What about the Dobbs leaker?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Do we know who that is?
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
		I mean, you think about how quickly we find out everything else.
		We should find out exactly who...
		That is.
		I mean, that is not hard.
		That building that is right behind me over here, the Supreme Court building, there are not too many people that are housed within there.
		As you can imagine, pretty tight quarters.
		So this would not be difficult to figure out if you wanted to find that out.
		And I sure hope that they do.
		We need to make sure that we continue.
		We elevate that, Benny, because we deserve some answers on that.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they clearly know who this person is.
		They're hiding in plain sight.
		They're being protected by the feds for some...
		You know what?
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		I'll go back and look for you.
		I know that we've re-requested the stuff that we requested under the previous administration where we didn't get answers, particularly on 1507, the U.S. Marshals and DOJ.
		Certainly want to know about the leaker and the Dobbs, so we'll get on top of that as well.
		And then anything else that we request, I'm happy to let you know because I feel certain that this is a new day.
		And when we make these, that we're actually going to get answers.
		As you know, we've been working pretty diligently up here, getting these people in place.
		And so it's exciting to have a cabinet in place.
		I know we're going to get a Lee Stefanik very soon, but we've also started sub-cabinet people getting through and results are just resounding, just like today with Lee Zeldin starting the process of rolling back WOTUS.
		So it's good.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Just very quickly here.
		We say regularly on this program, like, this is why we harp so much on the price of gas, which was the lowest I've ever seen in Tampa driving to the studio today.
		The price of eggs.
		We eat a dozen eggs a day in my family.
		I'm sure you do in your family as well.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		We do.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		My husband can put some down, but we have chickens.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Your husband was like an NFL lineman, wasn't he?
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and he just, like, it's a lot.
		And we have chickens that roam around in our yard.
		Like, it's a new level of free range.
		Like, when my kids have friends over, they're like, are they supposed to...
		I mean, because they'll just pop up in the house, and you have to kind of push them back a little bit.
		But we've never been more excited to have...
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The cure for egg prices?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Have your own chickens in your house.
unidentified		That's right.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Yes, but gas prices, it's huge.
		And this is just the beginning.
		It's the unleashing of American energy.
		Again...
		Back to President Trump, promises made, promises kept.
		And this was what was so mind-boggling under the Biden administration.
		Here he knew families were hurting.
		Like in Alabama, 78% of families are living...
		Paycheck to paycheck.
		I mean, when you look at that and you look at the cost of childcare on top of that, you look at a young person, young families, their mortgage rates doubling, you know, the price of homes.
		I mean, all kinds of things, gas, groceries.
		It's just not doable.
		And so being able to actually unleash American energy has had significant effects.
		And this is just the beginning.
		Things don't actually just happen overnight.
		You have to make them happen.
		And when you're looking at that, we're also going to try to.
		I want to tackle some of these things that families are facing because we are the party of families.
		We're the party of parents.
		We're the party of hardworking Americans.
		And when you look at the fact that child care costs 22% of a family's usual average income in a year, and you think about trying to make it work, we want to incentivize people to bring more kids into this world.
		I mean, as one of four, you're the father of four, having two of my own.
		Children are God's greatest gift.
		And to make sure that we create an environment where families can grow and flourish, I think, is so important.
		And unlike my Democratic colleagues, Benny, who wanted to, when they faced with this issue of affordability and accessibility, some of my Democratic colleagues wanted to create another entitlement.
		Obviously, being completely lost on them that we're $36 trillion in debt, which is not just fiscally irresponsible, it is morally irresponsible.
		What we did, and when we came together, found some people.
		We had a targeted approach that put parents back in the driver's seat, incentivized businesses, large and small, to really get involved and actually are able to address both the affordability and accessibility issue in a way that is meaningful for families and actually will help us with workforce.
		59% of parents that are staying home say that they would like to reenter the workforce, but this is an impediment to doing that.
		If you want and have the opportunity to stay home, I 100% want you to have that.
		But if you want to re-engage and you feel like that's something you need to do for your family and this is an impediment, let's figure out how we help remove that and help find ways that your family and that American dream can be achieved.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, just a suggestion from a guy who went to community college over here, you know, like in the middle of a cornfield.
		Like, no taxes.
		Like, this is something that could be easy and that other countries do on parents.
		It is such a huge – it's not a burden.
		It's the greatest thing in life.
		But, like, there are major costs associated with children, child raising, and child care.
		And I think that, like, making a tax incentive.
		That's beyond, like, the pittance that's already in the tax code.
		I think that'd be an easy way that the government doesn't have to spend any more money, right, or create any more entitlement, but can actually, like, help parents out.
		But I'll take the price of eggs right now, because we go through a ton of eggs.
		Maybe chickens are next.
		Maybe chickens for us.
		We don't have that.
		We have, like, a little teeny little backyard, but maybe chickens are next for us.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Your kids will love it.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		It's great.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Tax.
		If you have...
		Two kids or more, if you get replacement population, no taxes.
		No taxes.
		Okay, that's the one I'm going to push for.
		Thank you, Senator, though.
		We had your legislation up on your website there, Katie Britt.
		And also, here's how you can follow the Senator.
		105,000 Americans already follow the great Senator, Katie Britt.
		And you should be one of them.
		Thank you, Senator.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Hey, thank you, Benny.
katie britt ▲ ● ▼		Thanks for all you do.
unidentified		Bye.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		you you you you And ladies and gentlemen, we've got Leo Terrell up in the batter box.
		So many interesting things to ask him, especially about this new news about Kash Patel finally releasing the J6 documents.
		This is going to be bombshell stuff we've been hearing from inside of Kash Patel's team.
		I want to read this article just very quickly here.
		The FBI said that it's handing over subpoena documents to House Republican judiciary lawmakers responding to a letter for transparency and accountability of the Bureau.
		House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter to the FBI Director Kach Patel for information on the documents that he said is withheld by Director Wray.
		Kach Patel is delivering the J-6 pipe bomber documents in good faith in providing initial production in the weeks ahead of the subpoena deadline.
		This is not the last production, but we will send satisfactory to comply with the committee's subpoena so that we end and are diligently working completely to comply with your subpoenas.
		Amazing.
		Due to the diverse and broad subject matters implicated in your request, the FBI is providing an initial response along with documents identified to the House panel with minimal redactions.
		Will we actually learn about the J6 pipe bomber?
		Will we learn what's happening there?
		That'll be it, man.
		That'll be it.
		That's the end of the Fed's direction.
		That's the official end of the Fed's direction.
		Once these documents are released, it all hinges on the pipe bomber.
		It does.
		We were able to chill and talk with Stephen Sund, who was the Capitol Police officer, there that day.
		And he was at CPAC, and we were able to chat with him in the hallway.
		That guy is now completely locked in, saying, no, no, man.
		This is something that was agitated and instigated.
		Buy feds, and they set us up to fail.
		They've set us up to fail, and Pelosi was in on it.
		This is what the chief of police, the Capitol, you wonder why they took this guy's job from him, is what he said.
		So we're going to find out so much more on January 6th.
		Obviously, the J6ers have all been, the vast, vast majority of them have all been pardoned.
		And ladies and gentlemen, we're going to lock in with our news on this, because this has been one that we've covered for years.
		It's been extensive.
		And it costs you a lot to talk about these kind of things.
		So many other influencers and shows refuse to cover it because it's dirty or yucky or they might be deplatformed.
		Ladies and gentlemen, these people's lives matter.
		And this is the key to exactly how dark and how deep your government is willing to go to destroy this nation and to keep unified control and power.
		They were willing to do this to our fellow Americans.
		And I think that there needs to be a lot more done on it.
		So ladies and gentlemen, keep up with that news.
		We're very excited about it.
		Keep up with us with your Patriot Mobile device.
		Make sure that you are using Patriot Mobile because Patriot Mobile does not fund the causes that hate you.
		Speaking of people who hate you.
		So many other big tech companies or other cell service providers are utterly woke and steeped in DEI and it is irreparable what they've done to this nation.
		Patriot Mobile is the opposite of that.
		They believe in your First Amendment.
		Very important when you're a communications company.
		Your Second Amendment.
		They're available on all three major networks.
		And when you use a Patreon mobile device, you're supporting first responders, the American military.
		You're supporting what you and I know to be actual America.
		Not some globalist soup melting pot garbage.
		No.
		Actual real America.

benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All right, ladies and gentlemen, where are we at, Klein?
		All right, okay.
		We move on.
		Leo Terrell joining soon, but having tech issues right now.
		Greenland's center-right party pulls off massive upset victory as Trump seeks control of the island.
		This happened last night.
		Greenland's center-right Democrat party pulled off surprise victory in the country's parliamentary election, having the Greenlandic Prime Minister Mitt-Edge party There's a bunch of words here that I can't pronounce.
		Okay, I'll just straight up admit it.
		But let's just say the party that wants to break away from Denmark and wants to come closer to the United States and to side with the United States, which makes a ton of sense because they're in our hemisphere, Greenland is not far from America.
		It's literally right off the coast of Canada.
		It's one of those nations that has huge access to the Arctic Circle.
		It already has American bases on it.
		And the only reason that Greenland...
		Even exists is because of America.
		Little known fact.
		When the Nazis in World War II took over Denmark, the administration of Greenland fell to the United States Navy.
		Did you know this?
		Oh yeah, baby.
		So the only reason that we already effectively set the country up, we protect the country in our sphere of influence, and obviously that country has massive access to resources that America needs.
		And we would make that country really, really rich.
		So the people want change, and they blew out the results.
		The results were supposed to be a complete slaughter for the Democratic Party, but they saw a massive increase in support, winning nearly 30% of the vote, compared to just 9% in 2021.
		This is the party, again, that wants to break away from Denmark, and they could, potentially, in a joint session of Congress, They could vote to say we will no longer be a vassal state of Denmark.
		What the hell?
		Denmark can't even pay for its own border protection or its own military.
		They can do nothing for Greenland.
		We strongly support your right to determine your own future, and if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America, Trump says.
		We need Greenland for national security and even for international security, and we're working with everybody involved in order to try and get it.
		One way or another, we're going to get it.
		All right, ladies and gentlemen, Greenland moving over into the right hands.
		Cash Patel putting the J6 pipe bomber documents into the right hands.
		And I don't know, will we get Ireland next?
		That would really be bad for one individual.
		That individual would be Rosie O'Donnell.
		Rosie O'Donnell has self-deported to Ireland.
		We are proud to report.
		Ireland's not terribly far away from Greenland.
		Maybe it could happen.
		Who knows?
		Ireland's a mess.
		Maybe we can fix...
		We can fix her.
		Yeah?
		Rosie O'Donnell has self-deported to Ireland after Trump's election and will return to the United States when it's safe for all that of them to have equal rights.
		Rosie O'Donnell leaving right when they're about to release the Diddy List and the Epstein List.
		Isn't that interesting?
		Wow.
		Curious that, along with Ellen.
		It really makes you wonder.
		Rosie O'Donnell self-deports.
		Says that she's out.
		Really, this is like what I voted for, in fact.
		The single greatest after effect of the Trump election is that these thankless, graceless, goblinite Hollywood monsters like Ellen and Rosie O'Donnell are leaving our country.
		It's so awesome.
		Here's Rosie O'Donnell admitting defeat.
unidentified		And I'm here in Ireland.
		And it's beautiful and warm.
		Not physically, it's actually quite cold.
		Moved here on January 15th, and it's been pretty wonderful, I have to say.
		The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming, and I'm very grateful.
		I'm in the process of getting my Irish citizenship, as I have Irish grandparents.
		That's what's going on.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is the greatest trade ever.
		This is a single most fantastic trade ever.
		You get Rosie O'Donnell.
		We get cheap gas and egg prices.
		And ladies and gentlemen, joining us for a conversation about these crashing egg prices and also about making America healthy again and also about steak prices and everything else we could possibly think to ask is the now victorious Secretary of Agriculture, Bob Brooke Rollins.
		She'll be joining us from the White House.
		Let's go.
		Ladies and gentlemen, joining us live now, Secretary Brooke Rollins.
		She says, call me Brooke.
		Okay, fine.
unidentified		Call me Brooke.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		I'm Brooke.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We will.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, Benny.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		In the Johnson household, you're a legend.
		You're a legend.
		My kids love eggs.
		Four kids, four and under.
		And we go through a dozen eggs a day.
unidentified		The best.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We go through a dozen eggs a day, the best source of protein.
		And everyone's been hollering at the top of their lungs about the price of eggs.
		And yeah, indeed, I've seen it myself.
		You know, it was no fun.
		And now, if you did a little bit of research, you'd find out, I think this is because Joe Biden slaughtered like millions of chickens.
		But now, lo and behold, my wife did her Amazon order.
		And it was like, she's like, The price of eggs are like cut in half now where we live.
		And so we just want to say thank you.
		I just want to say thank you.
		First time I've done this, said thank you to a guest because of our breakfast.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
		Well, that's actually amazing.
		Well, listen, here's the bottom line on this.
		Benny, and I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, because today is good news, right?
		The price of eggs is down significantly.
		It's the lowest since President Trump took office.
		This isn't just about our farmers and our ag community.
		This is about all of America.
		Eggs is a very inexpensive, very nutritious form of protein.
		I, too, have four kids.
		They're a little older than your kids, but I'm with you, and I hear you 100%.
		We are seeing the downward pricing of eggs, which is great, but it is likely...
		We need to creep back up, so I just want to hedge that.
		We are in Easter season without the avian bird flu.
		This becomes the most pricey season for eggs in the full 12-month cycle.
		What a gift that we had a plan.
		We rolled out a plan almost two weeks ago.
		The plan included how we bring down the price of eggs.
		America wanted a plan.
		They didn't want excuses.
		We began implementing immediately.
		And I think the market has reacted to that.
		So we're really pleased and we'll keep fighting to make sure those egg prices stay down.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It makes a ton of sense that the Easter season, obviously, egg usage is going to skyrocket.
		So can you talk me through some of your, can you talk me through your plan?
		I know it's sitting right here on the screen.
		But what have you done in your role as Secretary of Agriculture to bring the price of eggs down?
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Well, the plan is five parts.
		The first part, obviously, is to ensure that we are securing the barns.
		The reason the prices are so high, and by the way, let me just, this is, I don't know if you guys can zoom in on this, Benny, or if this is okay.
		So you see, and our amazing people at the White House actually added pictures, so it's even better.
		But you can see Obama, the price of eggs began to, you know, increase.
		Trump comes in, and really without much intention other than deregulating.
		Getting government off the backs of Americans, ensuring that our farmers have the ability to do what they do best, which is to farm.
		You see the price of eggs under Donald Trump comes down, but here's Joe Biden, right?
		237% increase in the cost of eggs under Joe Biden.
		237%.
		The cost of all groceries went up about 22% on average, but eggs skyrocketed.
		We were basically handed this crisis of avian bird flu, but also the crisis of overregulation.
		Right?
		Also the crisis of inputs being costing too much.
		So part of our plan included...
		A, how we combat avian bird flu without culling tens of millions, hundreds of millions of birds.
		B, and by the way, that's through biosecurity, locking the barns down, USDA auditing all across the country.
		That began immediately moving out pilot projects, et cetera, stemming the flow of the bird flu.
		Number two is repopulating.
		So moving regulatory barriers out.
		those farms that did have to cull their chickens under President Biden could immediately without, you know, eight months, 10 months, 12 months waiting for approval could immediately begin within just a month or two repopulating their flock.
		So that is underway.
		Number three, as I mentioned, is the deregulation, moving specific rules out of the way.
		And our amazing team at USDA has been working with our egg layers to do that.
		Number four is importing eggs.
		Importing eggs for the short term from other countries.
		And we've announced a couple deals on that, but that obviously helps bring the price down when that's happening.
		And then number five is much longer term, but that is really understanding and researching the importance.
		of therapeutics in beating this virus in the chickens and then, of course, looking at vaccines.
		So these are really important but much longer-term solutions to hopefully make sure this doesn't happen again.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We say often on this program that most people aren't really hyper-focused on politics.
		They're not obsessed with the CR, right?
		They don't even know what it is.
		But they are obsessed with their gas prices and their egg prices.
unidentified		That's right.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is something that consistently hits people directly every single day.
		Again, a dozen a day for my family.
		A dozen eggs per day.
		The price of eggs down $2.
		The price of gas is the lowest it's been in four years.
		This is what a lot of people voted for.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		And here's the other thing.
		You're so right, Benny.
		And I've said before, I don't believe it was on your show, but I've said before that, you know, we're all, and rightly so.
		Fighting to make America the power of peace in the world again, right?
		Ensuring that education moves out and back to the states where it should be.
		Moving healthcare to more of a healthy America, which relates to this.
		But a lot of these are seemingly kind of intellectual debates, very important to the future of our country.
		But for the single mom in Detroit, Michigan, that is having to choose between whether she buys eggs for her family every week, which is a low-cost, nutritious protein for growing.
		Children especially.
		The price of eggs affects everyone in America.
		It's not just those of us that, you know, are in these political debates every day and fighting for the future of the country.
		So this really matters.
		The other thing, I think, and the silver lining in all of this is, A, none of it's easy, but hopefully the American people see that we have a plan.
		And sometimes that plan is imperfect and sometimes it is bumpy, but there is a plan.
		And no one will work harder, will be bolder, more fearless than President Donald Trump.
		And he gave me...
		He said, Brooke, go figure out the avian bird flu.
		Go figure out how to bring the price of eggs down.
		I believe in you.
		I trust you.
		And so that's what I did.
		But at the end of the day, this is his vision we are effectuating.
		And I think it's so important that all Americans realize that whether or not you voted for Donald Trump, whether or not you're from Vermont or my Texas or California, he is the president for all of the people.
		And we're fighting for everyone every single day on all of these issues.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Crack a couple eggs on the hotheads of your haters who put all their eggs in one basket and attacked you for the price of eggs like days in.
		I mean, this was so obvious, Brooke.
		It was like hours after you were sworn in.
		The price of eggs!
		The price of eggs!
		Like they haven't even been here a day, okay?
		Chill out, Jasmine Crockett and AOC.
		But now that talking point is no good anymore.
		So the floor is yours to hit the haters.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Well, the State of the Union, and Benny, that's when I was last with you, and that was so fun, right?
		I mean, I literally took my heels off and ran across the Capitol to join you that night.
		But at the State of the Union, we had been warned that all of the Democrats were going to bring in empty cartons of eggs into the State of the Union and wave them around.
		I don't think they could get that past security, and so I think that plan ended up not happening.
		But we were ready for that.
		But of course, their point was that President Trump made a commitment.
		He made a promise.
		He can't keep his promises.
		I don't believe anything he says tonight at the State of the Union.
		Here's the bottom line.
		There is not one person in the cabinet of President Donald Trump, not one person in this administration that isn't.
		Every day, every minute, every hour of every week, working to, again, achieve the goals that what he laid out.
		This is going to be an era of the golden age, of unlimited prosperity, of the American dream moving into every corner of America, even our most impoverished corners.
		And the Democrats just don't have a leg to stand on.
		We proved that less government and more freedom works, and Trump won, right?
		Lowest poverty rates, best housing, best jobs.
		Biden came in.
		He blew it, right?
		More government spending.
		That's all really they did.
		And that's a whole other show of yours, what we're doing to roll all those crazy grants and contracts back.
		But now President Trump's back.
		The sheriff is back in town.
		And you see what we're doing every minute of every day.
		He's not slowing down.
		And he's basically told us to do the same, which we're all doing.
		And so I think that while we've got some good news today, we probably have a couple of bumpy days or weeks ahead and tariffs and other things.
		But when we walk out of here in Florida, Brooke, we were just worried about you with Al Green swinging his cane all over the place.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We were like, whoa, don't hit our girl, Brooke, okay?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Everyone chill out, dude, right?
unidentified		That's what we said.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		He's swinging the cane.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It was almost an incident.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		There was almost an incident, and I probably wouldn't normally talk about this, but I love you.
		So listen, I'm from a small town.
		I'm real feisty.
		Anyone that kind of calls on my people, I'm sort of usually in their face.
		And I wasn't sitting very far from him.
		And literally, I had started to kind of—I'm like, I'm going to walk over there and tell him to sit down.
		And then I realized, well, wait a minute.
		The whole world is watching.
		This is President Trump's State of the Union, and I don't want to be the news story, right?
		This is not my night.
		But it was ridiculous.
		And he's a Texan, and I know he's a far-left Democrat.
		But goodness gracious, give the presidency, this momentous occasion, a little bit of respect.
		But the Democrats just can't seem to do that, and certainly not Al Green.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Oh, boy.
		Here he is looking very angry with that cane.
		Oh, man.
		He stole Kramer's pip cane.
unidentified		Okay.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Well, listen.
		We have somebody who, speaking of stepping up, RFK walking into a fast food place called Steak and Shake.
		Now, we are very – we're angry about this, okay?
		We're angry about this because we wanted to go to Steak and Shake with you, Secretary.
		But here's RFK walking in.
		This is sort of an iconic moment.
		Beef tallow for the fries, making America healthy again.
		You gotta love it, right?
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		I loved it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and you gotta say, like, this is the good first step, right?
		Like, there's no such thing as perfect, and we gotta unwind a lot of poisons in our food and healthcare industries, but this is a good first step, right?
		Like, this major brand deciding to go healthy.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		It's remarkable.
		And I will tell you this, my very next meeting that we will be discussing today is with Secretary Kennedy, but also across the federal government, how we take the Maha Commission, but more importantly, the new Maha Movement, and how we fold that into real policy enactment for the American people.
		For me at USDA, obviously agriculture and the production of our food is a big part of that.
		But also, Benny, what you're...
		What your viewers may not know is that I'm in charge of food stamps.
		It's the largest part of the USDA budget.
		The fact that our taxpayers are funding the food stamp program to the numbers in the hundreds of billions, and yet...
		People on food stamps, which are those with the least among us, those at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder, are taking that and spending it, because they can, on Cokes, on sugary snacks, on candy.
		And that has to change.
		It has to change.
		So not only, I think, is Secretary Kennedy bringing a whole new energy and narrative and framing to what it is we're working to do, which is not only make America great again, but make America healthy again.
		But for me, the exciting part is to To get to work together as a cabinet, as a team for President Trump in this, I believe, revolution.
		We're in a revolution in many ways, returning our country to the people, peace through strength, securing our border, but also making America healthy again.
		It's a revolution, and what a joy to be a part of it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I know we're up against a hard out, but very quickly here, you mentioned food stamps.
		This is something that's a thorn in a lot of people's paw that really want to get America healthy is that food stamps can be used to purchase some of the most unhealthy products on the market.
		What's your plan to deal with that, to regulate it, to change that?
		Is there a plan?
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Well, the good news is, and I am such a believer, Benny, you know this, in federalism and the Tenth Amendment and the founder's vision of a little bitty federal government and the power being with the people out in the states and the local communities.
		I'm working with more than a dozen governors right now because what has to happen to be able to effectuate that is the states themselves have to seek a waiver.
		And then we at USDA grant the waiver.
		Can you believe we're going to waive you from basically feeding your...
		You're going to be seeing a lot of announcements on this over the coming months.
		On the hill with Congress to see if there is a way to move forward at the federal level.
		So my approach has always been all hands on deck.
		We've got a country to save.
		We have a population with a chronic disease problem, with obesity problem, whatever USDA can do to help on that.
		But, Benny, I have to say at the same time...
		Protecting and defending our American farmers and ranchers and producers.
		There is a balance there.
		And so my job, if done correctly, is to ensure we're doing everything we can to create an environment where our ag producers and farmers and ranchers can thrive like never before.
		The president would say, tell them we're going to make them rich like never before.
		But at the same time, balancing that healthy piece of it.
		And so, again, it's not easy.
		It's a little sticky.
		No pun intended.
		But I do believe we're going to get it done.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Okay, great.
		I mean, that'd be awesome to see, like, just, like, to help the American rancher, right?
		To see, like, steaks and fresh food and vegetables and fruit instead of hyper-processed, highly processed.
		Chemicals, right?
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
		That's exactly right.
		It's really good for everyone.
		We've just got to kind of move into this new era.
		We are disruptors.
		The president is a transformational president, and we're doing everything we can to ensure that in this moment we're meeting it and doing things that will hopefully change the trajectory of this country forever.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Brooke, I didn't know it was on a state level.
		That's actually news to me.
		Yes.
		That's news to me, and we hope you'll come back, and we'll talk to us more about that, because obviously everyone wants healthy children in this country.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Amen.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Amen to that, including you and your four and me and my four.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yes, that's right.
		Everybody follow the great secretary.
		Make sure that she has all of the...
		The power to speak and to make America healthy again and our children healthy again and to protect America's great farmers and ranchers.
		Right here at Secretary Brooke Rollins.
		110,000 subscribers are ready.
		Well done, Secretary.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		Not Benny Johnson, but I'm getting there.
brooke rollins ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, Benny.
		Yeah, exactly.
		Gunspeed.
unidentified		Gunspeed.
unidentified		you you You know what?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It's like a Maha Day, isn't it?
		It's Maha Day.
		It's Mom Day, Mother's Day, Maha Day.
		It's time to lock it in.
		We got Senator Katie Britt and the Secretary of Agriculture there on the show talking, yeah, things that we all care about, egg prices, gas prices, and things that I care about the very most.
		I get cheap eggs and I get cheap gas and Ireland gets Rosie O'Donnell.
		Donald Trump must have been tuning into the show because just seconds ago...
		He had the leader of Ireland at the White House, of course, St. Patrick's Day, around the corner.
		My wife is Irish.
		Will we be able to celebrate?
		This is like the first St. Patrick's Day in like four years.
		She hasn't been pregnant, so maybe we can actually celebrate the St. Patrick's Day.
		Donald Trump celebrating early by roasting Rosie O'Donnell at the White House.
		Did you know that Rosie O'Donnell has moved to Ireland?
		A reporter asks.
		Trump goes, did you know Rosie O'Donnell?
		The leader of Ireland says, Trump goes, you're better off not knowing.
unidentified		Here we go.
		Ireland is known for very happy, fun-loving people.
		Great attitude, many in this room right now that I've met.
		Why in the world would you let Rosie O'Donnell...
		Move to Ireland.
		I think she's going to lower your happiness level.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That's true.
unidentified		Thank you.
		I like that question.
		Do you know who she is?
		I'm joking.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You better have not known.
unidentified		President Trump, I'm too many.
unidentified		All right.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Very good.
		Unfortunately, ladies and gentlemen, there's somebody who has yet to be deported, and that's AOC.
		We spent the entire show talking about how AOC is a criminal yesterday.
		AOC hit with an ethics complaint.
		You know what?
		We're just going to start calling it the Benny Curse.
		That's what we're going to call it.
		The Benny Curse.
		AOC hit with an ethics complaint.
		Over a $5,000 payment to dance training.
		I think we actually have a clip of AOC dancing.
		Grab that.
unidentified		Okay?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Grab that.
		Should have that.
		We have a clip of AOC dancing.
		So...
		Clearly the training isn't working, but here we go.
		We can prove to you that the training is not working.
		Watchdog has slapped an ethics complaint against squad member AOC accusing her of misusing taxpayer funds for dance training.
		Americans for Public Trust, part of Watchdog group, alleged that AOC tapped into her members' representational allowance to shell out to Juan Gonzalez and Babonzo Dance Company thousands of dollars for dance training.
		The watchdog on Tuesdays had a complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics and argued that the rep made payments in contravention to federal law for the standards of the House of Representatives.
		AOC has dismissed concerns about two December payments for dance training, saying that they were campaign expenses.
		Oh, okay.
		100% wrong.
		None of this is taxpayer money.
		This is an FEC filing, says AOC on the critique.
		No word if AOC tweeted this, if this tweet came from a criminal alien that was working for her, which is also illegal.
		The criminal alien had to self-deport, right?
		That was working on her staff.
		So there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
		What is dance payments?
		We have proof that the dance payments didn't work.
		Here's AOC.
		Here's AOC dancing.
		Here you go.
		Okay, good.
		There it is.
		What about the one with the drums, right?
		When she's getting protested.
		What about the one with the drums?
		Here's another one.
		This is the training.
		Ladies and gentlemen, this is what you've been training for.
		Oh boy.
		Okay.
		AOC.
		Proving exactly what you get when you go to Boston University.
		The style of education that you get.
		There he is.
unidentified		Okay.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is your leader of the Democrat Party.
		The leader of the Democrat Party on her knees and bowing down to what I think is on the other side of the camera there, a copy of the Communist Manifesto.
		I don't know.
		What do you think?
		Do you think the dance training worked out?
		What about this move?
		Maybe this is why she took the dance training.
		We don't know.
		We're not sure.
		We've got one more.
		I won't move until we have it.
		AOC with the drums.
		Danny, I know you have it.
		I know you have it.
		AOC was an actress, by the way, who answered a casting call to become a member of Congress.
		That's, like, verifiable.
		It's proven.
		Okay.
		Ladies and gentlemen, I have some sad news to report to you as we await.
		Oh, shoot.
		Okay.
		I got it.
		All right.
		Sometimes there's clips that we can't use because people get...
		Too many copyright claims, right?
		They try to take your show down and stuff.
		Use it, so.
		So, there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
		Too bad.
		Too bad!
		Look at that.
		Fine, did you see?
		The lights flickering.
		I'm noticing the American flag keeps going blue and then not blue.
		Yeah, too bad.
		It's okay.
		We're gonna, it's okay.
		We're wrapping the show, sadly, because we, um, because we lost Leo Terrell.
		Leo Terrell was trying to join the program.
		We freaking love Leo Terrell.
		We're going to have to rebook him.
		We had technical issues with poor Leo Terrell.
		Leo Terrell works at the Department of Justice now, Civil Rights Division.
		He's the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division at the DOJ.
		We had so many questions to ask him.
		So we hope he gets rebooked quickly.
		Leo will be back tomorrow!
		Okay, wonderful.
		We love Leo Terrell.
		Send him this, you know, send him this, say...
		Hearts out to Leo.
		He's going to be back tomorrow because we have so many interesting questions to talk to him about.
		Instead, we had, like, the Magamom show.
		Okay, cool with me.
		Talking about the economy, eggs, gas prices, minivans.
		Freaking, that's where I'm at.
		Man, I got four kids, four and under.
		So, that's my life.
		Ladies and gentlemen, Leo Terrell coming on the program tomorrow.
		We're excited to have him back.
		There is no technical difficulty with our verse of the day.
		Here we go from Proverbs.
		Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
		We are.
	It is great.
	I mean, listen, you know, we are constantly roasted in the comment section and on social media.
	I love it.
	I embrace it.
	I enjoy it.
	It's fun.
	It's nice to be...
	It's good to be roasted.
	I don't know where you come from, but if you open up the group chat for the boys...
	Like what you'll find is like the expression of love is actually roasting each other.
	And it's good to have people that are truth tellers in your life.
	Everybody needs a truth teller.
	That's how you correct.
	And so, you know, all have sinned.
	Nobody is perfect.
	You must have these people who are honest in your life.
	It's great to be married to a truth teller, right?
	That's also like a really great check on bad behavior.
	And don't be stupid.
	Don't hate correction.
	So, ladies and gentlemen, keep commenting.
	Keep sending us your feedback on the show.
	You can do so if you become a member of Benny Brigade.
	Ladies and gentlemen, go to BennyJohnson.com, sign up for the Brigade.
	Today for the price that would be equating less than a Chick-fil-A waffle fry.
	That's the price.
	That's the waffle fry at Chick-fil-A.
	Okay?
	It's five bucks a month and you get a free...
	Benny Brigade keychain out of it.
	We send you the keychain.
	There it is.
	Made by a spectacular craftsman with American leather.
	And we have just done a brand new order for him.
unidentified		So if you wish to support the show and support what we do here, we're very excited for the future.
