Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend Glenn Maxwell will meet with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche again today after beginning her interview yesterday. | |
We had a very productive day today with the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch and Glenn Maxwell. | ||
He took a full day and asked a lot of questions and Ms. Maxwell answered every single question. | ||
She never stopped. | ||
She never invoked a privilege. | ||
She never declined to answer. | ||
She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly, and to the best of her ability. | ||
unidentified
|
Maxwell has also been subpoenaed by a congressional committee to testify from prison to provide additional testimony surrounding Epstein's years of sex crimes. | |
is still unclear if she plans to participate. | ||
Beep, beep, five, five, four, five, bum. | ||
Look at my nap. | ||
Here she come. | ||
Devil with the blue best, the best known. | ||
Be the devil with the best old. | ||
Something is in the life of my best. | ||
Devil with the blue dress. | ||
All right. | ||
Gonna suck it to me now. | ||
Don't let it be lost on you, the devil with the blue dress. | ||
It's great. | ||
It's just a great meme. | ||
I know it makes you uncomfortable. | ||
It makes me uncomfortable. | ||
But ladies and gentlemen, sometimes you just got to dive right in and say, well, well, well, why has nobody asked Bill Clinton about this? | ||
It's almost as if some at the White House listened to the show. | ||
It's almost as if. | ||
And you know, we have some major members of the White House team that will be joining the program very soon. | ||
I'll just announce right off the top, we're very excited to have Alina Haba on the show. | ||
After Alina Haba pulled a 4D chess move with President Trump and completely gave the flaming middle finger to the left-wing judges that tried to kick her out, she will be live on this program. | ||
This is going to be her first interview since Alina Haba was able to waltz right back into her role as President Trump's federal attorney in New Jersey. | ||
Now, this is a very important strategic play, and we're going to cover all of it today on the show, but President Trump just made massive news at the White House doing exactly what we were barking at the moon over yesterday. | ||
We spent the entire day screaming into our mics, playing, actually, video of Kevin Spacey saying that he was on the Lolita Express with Jeffrey Epstein with a bunch of teeny little girls. | ||
You know, it's like these Hollywood actors, they're given scripts and they read scripts all day and they pretend all day. | ||
And then when given an opportunity to just like say something honestly, they don't have any capacity to lie. | ||
I totally believe Kevin Spacey. | ||
Do you? | ||
Do you believe Kevin Spacey? | ||
Should that be our poll for the day? | ||
Is Kevin Spacey telling the truth when he said a bunch of teeny little girls came running out to sit on Bill Clinton's lap on the Lolita Express? | ||
You know, he said it on TV and like nobody seems to be focusing on that. | ||
There is not a scintilla of evidence that President Trump, in his vanishingly short experience as simply a partygoer with Jeffrey Epstein, right, to like the events of high society that every billionaire gets invited to. | ||
There is not a scintilla of evidence that Donald Trump did anything wrong. | ||
Yet I can play you one of the most famous men on earth, one of the most famous actors on earth, somebody who's won an Oscar, saying that Bill Clinton was on the plane with a bunch of little girls. | ||
I can show you the transcripts of the abused women saying that Bill Clinton liked him young. | ||
I can show you the oil painting of Bill Clinton wearing a DNA-stained dress in Jeffrey Epstein's apartment. | ||
A $56 million mansion that he leased from the State Department. | ||
Okay. | ||
But nobody's asked Bill Clinton anything. | ||
And lo and behold, ladies and gentlemen, President Trump has changed the dynamic just moments ago on the White House lawn. | ||
We yelled about this yesterday. | ||
And whoa, what do we get? | ||
We'll play you the clips. | ||
Just a second. | ||
Today is Friday, July 25th, 2025. | ||
It's free-for-all Friday. | ||
Forgive the free-flowing kind of like conversation that we're having here, but what up to the chat? | ||
Shout out to the chat. | ||
We'll be doing some more chat work today. | ||
Get ready. | ||
We've listened to you and we are going to take action. | ||
It's the only chat probably in the history of the internet that can literally just straight up tell the creator what to do. | ||
Earlier this week, we asked, what should we do? | ||
Where should we go? | ||
What stories do you want us to cover next? | ||
And you told us pretty resoundingly where you wanted us to go. | ||
And so don't worry. | ||
We listened to you. | ||
And now we're going to lock in. | ||
Okay. | ||
Jelaine Maxwell has met with the DOJ. | ||
She's now carrying massive boxes of evidence in to meet with the attorneys. | ||
And the attorneys for President Trump, Todd Blanche, and the attorneys for Jelaine Maxwell have both said, these are great meetings. | ||
These are good meetings, and we're getting places. | ||
Okay, what does that mean? | ||
We're going to talk about it. | ||
Former Biden Chief of Staff Ron Clain cooperates in health cover-up probe. | ||
This is going to be extremely interesting as Alina Hava. | ||
F's over, the embarrassing Libtards who tried to screw her out of her position. | ||
She'll be joining this program. | ||
Representative Pat Harrigan will be joining the program as well. | ||
And the Texas Land Commissioner, Don Buckingham, will join the show. | ||
I see we have some people watching from Texas. | ||
So shout out to the great state of Texas. | ||
My name is Benny Johnson, and this is the Benny Show. | ||
Is that an all-timer for like the longest intro? | ||
Sorry about that. | ||
It's just like too much excitement, too many exciting things to get to today. | ||

But here we go. | ||
American financing can help you get out of debt. | ||
Groceries, gas bills, the payments for your homes, they're all piling up. | ||
They're more expensive than ever. | ||

AmericanFinancing.net slash penny. | ||
Okay. | ||
Just because it's funny, here, just quickly, the Democrat Party shared this graph yesterday, and it is hysterical. | ||
So this is what the Democrats posted. | ||
U.S. grocery prices reached record highs. | ||
Okay. | ||
All right. | ||
Now let's look at the actual data, shall we? | ||
And that looks like a bad headline for Donald Trump. | ||
My goodness, this looks terrible. | ||
Let's zoom in, shall we? | ||
What does this actually look like? | ||
Well, you will notice that President Trump's administration, his first administration, is right there at the very beginning of the graph, the year 2019 and 2020. | ||
That's grocery prices under President Trump term one. | ||
Something remarkable happened in 2021. | ||
That would be Joe Biden's residency inside of the White House after a stolen election. | ||
And the prices skyrocketed for all of those years, 21, 22, 23, and 24. | ||
Joe Biden was 100% in charge. | ||
Ha ha ha. | ||
But whatever. | ||
It's Joe Biden's fault. | ||
He's where the buck stops. | ||
And would you look at the numbers? | ||
Would you look at the graph? | ||
The Democrat Party actually posted this. | ||
They got owned by President Trump. | ||
Here we go. | ||
Here's Donald Trump's rapid response 47. | ||
Biden. | ||
This is Joe Biden. | ||
This is when Biden was president, you dumbasses. | ||
You can actually see here that the increases stopped with President Trump in this nascent second term. | ||
And I have a suspicion that they will come cratering back down, I think. | ||
Wouldn't that be a beautiful thing to see? | ||
But ladies and gentlemen, we were talking about your financial house in order. | ||
This is great. | ||
They deleted it, by the way. | ||
They deleted this post, but it got roasted. | ||
It was a nothing to see here. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Deleting it actually is a real problem because it actually brings more attention to how stupid you are. | ||
Democrats shared this. | ||
Democrat Ted Liu still has this post up actually on his account, which is really funny. | ||
They had a 10,000 comment ratio brewing on this. | ||
ALX, how fast did they delete it? | ||
Within the hour, I think? | ||
Yeah, I think so. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
So yeah, good. | ||
These are the people who are running the teachers' unions. | ||
These are the people who want to educate your children. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Oh, did he delete it? | ||
The Ted Lou final? | ||
The Ted Lou final deleted? | ||
All right, good deal. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, it is Free For All Friday, and President Trump has... | ||
Oh, it's that personal versus the official. | ||
Every member of Congress has an official account and personal. | ||
Here we go. | ||
Ted Liu, Trump impeachment, Trump impeachment manager, Ted Liu, still has it up on his page. | ||
There we go. | ||
He calls it the Trump inflation. | ||
There it is. | ||
Woof. | ||
Mike Lee, nice try. | ||
You actually might be too stupid to insult Alex. | ||
Dude, do you realize this implicates Biden and not Trump, right? | ||
Democrats deleted it, but you still have it up. | ||
Why did they delete it, Ted? | ||
There's the retard finder right there. | ||
Ted, did your special needs intern happen to look at the data on the chart? | ||
All right. | ||
Just a good, let's just start the day with a little laugh. | ||
Okay. | ||
President Trump was out on the White House lawn just a couple seconds before the show started. | ||
And I was trying to apologize if the show starts a little late. | ||
We were grabbing these clips and loading them up because Donald Trump spoke about 10 minutes before the show. | ||
One of those, you know, one of the press pools, you have to get the clips up and loaded and ready to rock. | ||
And now we have them. | ||
The reason why they're particularly important, and we normally wouldn't delay any show start at all for this, but it's important because we were railing on this yesterday. | ||
I just want to show you one clip to set the table here. | ||
If you watched yesterday, this will be a rehash, but nonetheless, Kevin Spacey flew around the world on Jeffrey Epstein's chat with Bill Clinton. | ||
Kevin Spacey, in a moment that should be way more famous than it is, on Piers Morgan's show, and we do Piers Morgan's show all the time. | ||
He's a great interviewer. | ||
And I don't believe that Kevin Spacey's lying here. | ||
He said, yo, I was really angry At Jeffrey Epstein, because all these little girls came out prancing through the plane as soon as we took off. | ||
And you put Bill Clinton in a really bad situation. | ||
Well, Bill Clinton had already been on that plane a thousand times, right? | ||
Well, at the very least, 28 times. | ||
And we think that this is quite damning. | ||
Here we go. | ||
unidentified
|
Because I felt he put the president at risk on that trip to South Africa because there were these young girls. | |
And we were like, who is this guy? | ||
So I will say this. | ||
There were young girls on those flights. | ||
There were young girls on those flights. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The former president he's talking about, of course, is Bill Clinton. | ||
A bunch of photos of Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey on these trips and photos of them on the jet, photos of Bill Clinton getting massages. | ||
Photos of Bill Clinton inside of the Lolita Express, so on. | ||
Testimony from the victims naming Bill Clinton. | ||
The victims had no idea who Donald Trump was, by the way. | ||
There's hundreds of thousands of pages of victim testimony that's already been published. | ||
They didn't even know who the hell Bill Clinton was. | ||
Now, yesterday we learned that Bill Clinton wrote a letter to Jeffrey Epstein and was talking about children in the letter. | ||
It's particularly creepy and weird. | ||
Jeffrey Epstein's birthday album included letters from Bill Clinton, Leon Black, and some of the other members of, well, who you'd expect. | ||
Now, as we've said, we're going to take this stuff with a grain of salt, but we were very frustrated as to why the Wall Street Journal wouldn't, if they were going to publish a letter from Donald Trump, which doesn't sound like Donald Trump at all. | ||
It sounds like nothing that we know of Donald Trump. | ||
And guys, can you just, in this article, can you point me to where is Bill Clinton's actual commentary? | ||
Isn't it reassuring, says Bill Clinton. | ||
There it is. | ||
Is it reassuring to have lasted so long across the years learning and knowing adventures of ineligible word? | ||
Okay, that's strange. | ||
And also have your childlike curiosity. | ||
Okay. | ||
This is to drive the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends. | ||
Again, it's very like, even for Clinton, this seems a little poetic. | ||
Was this all like penned by Jelaine Maxwell? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Was it penned by Jelene Maxwell? | ||
Bill Clinton complimenting Jeffrey Epstein on his childlike curiosity. | ||
Okay. | ||
All right. | ||
Whatever. | ||
You know what? | ||
Whatever. | ||
I hope they publish the original source documents. | ||
That's what I hope. | ||
This stuff can be manipulated. | ||
This stuff can be used. | ||
It can be taken out of contact. | ||
Publish the original source documents. | ||
unidentified
|
Do it. | |
Do it. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump's calling for it. | ||
President Trump on the White House lawn just moments ago saying you should be looking at Bill Clinton, who went to the island at least 28 times. | ||
Well, wow. | ||
Where's this change? | ||
Now, this is how you actually shut down this argument. | ||
Okay. | ||
Now they're cooking with peanut oil here, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Now you're cooking. | ||
Shut down the argument by saying, I'm not the criminal. | ||
You can have all the evidence you want. | ||
I'm not the criminal. | ||
It's Bill Clinton who's the criminal here. | ||
He's the one who has something to hide, obviously. | ||
He's the one who deserved to be subpoena and was subpoenaed yesterday. | ||
And you need to start looking into him because he has a pretty nasty record with this guy. | ||
Here's Donald Trump moments ago at the White House. | ||
I don't want to talk about that. | ||
What I do want to say is that Todd is a great attorney. | ||
But you ought to be speaking about Larry Summers. | ||
You ought to be speaking about some of his friends that are hedge fund guys. | ||
They're all over the place. | ||
You ought to be speaking about Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times. | ||
I never went to the island. | ||
unidentified
|
The Press: Do you maintain you did not write a letter for Jeffrey Epstein's birthday birthday? | |
The President: I don't even know what they're talking about. | ||
Now, somebody could have written a letter and used my name, but that's happened a lot. | ||
Take a look at the documents. | ||
Everything is fake without administration. | ||
Everything is fake with the demographics. | ||
Take a look at what they just found about the batch gate. | ||
Everything is fake. | ||
They're a bunch of sick people. | ||
Where did you see the people laying outside? | ||
Now, like I'm sitting here in the studio cheering, because this is the first time that we've this is the first time that we've watched that we just watched this clip together. | ||
Again, this took place seconds ago at the White House. | ||
I'm sitting here cheering going, that's the messaging. | ||
Thank you. | ||
That's the messaging. | ||
The messaging isn't shut up, stop talking about Epstein, because that's not going to work. | ||
Like, I'm sorry, I do this professionally. | ||
I'm on the internet for a living. | ||
That's not going to work. | ||
That's going to give you a nuclear Streisand effect. | ||
Barbara Streisand, stop taking pictures of my house. | ||
I'll sue you. | ||
Everyone wants to take a photo of her house, right? | ||
That's the way human nature works. | ||
Don't walk on the grass. | ||
I want to touch the grass. | ||
This is the proper messaging. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Okay, Epstein, here. | ||
How about this? | ||
We'll go let Jelaine Maxwell tell you everything. | ||
We'll let her deliver boxes of evidence. | ||
We'll sue to get all the testimony unveiled. | ||
We'll release everything. | ||
And then why don't you go ask Bill Clinton about it? | ||
How about that? | ||
How about you ask Bill Clinton? | ||
And if it brings down foreign governments, if this brings down our allyship with people who aren't actually our allies, then good. | ||
Damn it, let the chips fall where they may. | ||
That's the messaging. | ||
Good. | ||
Great. | ||
It's the messaging that Donald Trump's always had. | ||
You know, truth is the truth. | ||
And you shouldn't be ashamed of it. | ||
And you should lean into it. | ||
And there's some people who, you know, viewed it as an attack, the fact that we have a historic understanding of President Trump and this issue. | ||
It's not an attack to bring up what Donald Trump has said about Jeffrey Epstein, how Donald Trump actually started his political career on Jeffrey Epstein to a degree. | ||
And we've said it openly, and we're actually proud of it because it is a matter of fact that President Trump popularized and wove this issue, this I will destroy the pedophile elite, into the fabric of his campaign. | ||
Here's President Trump saying on stage at CPAC over 10 years ago that Bill Clinton was a predator on Epstein Island. | ||
Now is Donald Trump back in action, Donald Trump in the groove, Donald Trump where he belongs. | ||
This is the Donald Trump, of course, that everyone fell in love with. | ||
Here we go. | ||
unidentified
|
Bill Clinton. | |
Nice guy. | ||
Got a lot of problems coming up, in my opinion, with the famous island with Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
unidentified
|
A lot of problems. | |
He continued, by the way. | ||
Like just minutes later, he told us about Prince Andrew. | ||
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
You raised the question of Jeffrey Epstein in your remarks about the. | ||
I think he's got a problem. | ||
What do you think the problem will be? | ||
I don't know, but that island was really a cesspool. | ||
There's no question about it. | ||
Just ask Prince Andrew. | ||
He'll tell you about it. | ||
The island was an absolute cesspool. | ||
This was Donald Trump rightly understanding that this is a class warfare issue. | ||
This is the genius of President Trump. | ||
This issue is not an issue of Republican-Democrat. | ||
It's not an issue of private islands or even like clandestine intel operations. | ||
Those are very interesting facts, but this is at its core and at its very heart, deep in the bone, a class issue where everybody in this country instinctually says, wait a second. | ||
So these elite pederists were able to just abuse young women from broken working class homes, which is where, of course, they entrapped them and recruited them. | ||
And then discard them, obviously, as we just saw with Virginia Roberts. | ||
And nothing happens to them? | ||
The state moves in to protect them? | ||
No, F you. | ||
It'd be nice to see one of these elite predators for once in my life get busted and have their lives ruined instead of my life ruined. | ||
I'm just the one who sits here trying to pay my taxes, trying to do something, build something. | ||
I'm just here trying to like have enough scratch to put in the plate at church when it passes in front of me. | ||
And these guys get to go and abuse and like kill women and like travel around the world on their planes. | ||
Kevin Spacey, the little girls come trotting out in the plane. | ||
They said it and they get away with it. | ||
And Trump like locked in on that and said, wait a second, this is a marquee issue of elites versus the working class. | ||
It is a class warfare issue at its heart. | ||
And it's why it won't go away and it's why it needs to be solved. | ||
I've spoken so much about it. | ||
There's been a lot of people who push us one way or the other, you know, you talk, you need to talk about it way more. | ||
You don't talk about it enough. | ||
You know, whatever it is, like we're proud that we've asked some of the major questions on this. | ||
And like a dog with a bone, man, we're just not going to let go. | ||
And that's the point here. | ||
And Donald Trump had it right. | ||
And now it's nice to see Donald Trump back on that bicycle, right? | ||
Because the targeting needs to be redirected here. | ||
None of y'all care. | ||
None of y'all gave a damn about Jeffrey Epstein when it was Bill Clinton who was the top of the name on the list. | ||
You didn't give a damn about any of these trafficked kids. | ||
In fact, you voted. | ||
Oh, you all voted for Kamala. | ||
You voted for Kamala for a continuation of the policies that leaves 500,000 little children trafficked throughout the country. | ||
And so now President Trump is doing exactly what he should have done from square one. | ||
And we're so glad that we're at this moment and redirecting and saying, no, no, no, you don't understand. | ||
I'm innocent and Bill Clinton's guilty. | ||
So why don't you go start asking Bill Clinton these questions? | ||
Donald Trump said this again, by the way, in the White House lawn. | ||
I think he says you need to focus on Bill Clinton with this list. | ||
It's a kind of hard to hear question. | ||
It's the best that we have right now. | ||
Again, this just happened. | ||
Here we go. | ||
Don't glance a great gentleman. | ||
He's a great, great man. | ||
He's a great word. | ||
He's got a great heart. | ||
But he's over there now. | ||
I don't know exactly what's happening. | ||
I certainly can't talk about pardons. | ||
unidentified
|
Can you trust what she's telling him? | |
She's a convicted trafficker who's eager to get out of prison. | ||
Well, you know, he's a professional lawyer. | ||
I think he's been through things like this before. | ||
But, you know, you should focus on Clinton. | ||
You should focus on the president of Harvard, the former president of Harvard. | ||
You should focus on some of the hedge fund guys. | ||
I'll give you a list. | ||
These guys lived with Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
I give it a job. | ||
Perfect. | ||
unidentified
|
Perfect. | |
Rings like a bell. | ||
Turn it around on the guy who had an oil painting in a blue DNA-soaked dress in Jeffrey Epstein's mansion that he was leasing from the State Department. | ||
What the hell? | ||
It's perfect. | ||
It's great. | ||
It's exactly how you diffuse these things. | ||
I love it. | ||
It's Donald Trump back in the form that obviously won him the hearts of the American people, the working class and populace. | ||
And it's the right answer. | ||
Now, what's happening concurrently in our state, not too far up the road, a couple hours up the road from where we are, in a federal prison in Tallahassee is that Jelene Maxwell is for the first time ever getting an interview with the federal government. | ||
And I find this bewildering, actually. | ||
Jelaine Maxwell is not an innocent party here. | ||
Based on all available evidence, she is one of the world's most grotesque monsters. | ||
According to all available evidence and many of the witness statements, she was sort of the recruiter for Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
And she was a known and willing accomplice in these crimes. | ||
She's not innocent. | ||
However, she has the key to everything, and she does know what happened and what didn't. | ||
And she seems to be cooperating with the feds. | ||
I'll be very interested to see what comes of it, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Let's read just the top line here from the Daily Mail: Daily Mail: Jelaine Maxwell answered every single question during a secret meeting with Trump's DOJ amid Epstein cover-up claims. | ||
Now, Todd Blanch is the one doing this meeting. | ||
Todd Blanche is the dude who defended President Trump in so many of his lawsuits. | ||
He knows President Trump as well as anybody. | ||
He's a fine lawyer, and he's somebody who is, yeah, got rock ribs. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
Like, he's a tough brawler of a lawyer. | ||
British socialite Jelaine Maxwell answered every question from Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General, during a closed-door meeting. | ||
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche flew down to Florida to sit down in person with convicted child sex trafficker as the MAGA base demands answers of what she knew about Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
Not just the MAGA base, you dumbasses. | ||
Everyone. | ||
But yeah, sure, the MAGA base. | ||
I'm like perfectly happy. | ||
Mike Benn says you can't unmaga this issue. | ||
And I agree with him. | ||
You can't unmaga this. | ||
You MAGA the issue. | ||
President Trump justifiably and righteously began his warpath against our predator elites. | ||
A warpath that he won, by the way. | ||
He's in office with more power than ever. | ||
He won. | ||
He defeated the satanic elites. | ||
Trump should be deeply proud of that. | ||
And now they're going to try and turn their sins around on him. | ||
No, damn it. | ||
That's why we keep fighting. | ||
Here we go. | ||
Maxwell took a full day of questions. | ||
Ms. Maxwell answered every single question. | ||
She never stopped. | ||
She never invoked a privilege. | ||
She never declined the answer. | ||
And she answered all the questions truthfully and honestly and to her ability, says her attorney, who was in the meeting. | ||
Blanche arrived at the federal courthouse at 9 a.m. | ||
Maxwell's attorneys were seen entering the building. | ||
She's 63 years old. | ||
She's serving a 20-year sentence at a low-security prison in Tallahassee and the only person serving time behind bars for Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. | ||
Attorney General Pan Bonnie announced that Blanche would be interviewing Maxwell to find out what she knows. | ||
I'm prone to say this is a very, very positive thing. | ||
I'm not in the meeting. | ||
I don't have any more information than you do right now on this, but I believe that the more sunlight, the more disinfectant. | ||
And the fact that Maxwell has never spoken, has never even been asked for a meeting by the feds on this issue is a huge red flag. | ||
Here's what President Trump has to say about the meeting and how it's going right now. | ||
I don't know about the meeting. | ||
I know it's taking place, and he's a fantastic man. | ||
He's a great attorney, and people should really focus on how well the country's doing, or they should focus on the fact that Barack Hussein Obama led a coup, or they should focus on the fact that Larry Summers from Harvard, that Bill Clinton, who you know very well, and lots of other friends, really close friends of Jeffrey Summers, should be spoken about, because, you know, Jeffrey Epstein should be spoken about. | ||
And they should speak about them because they don't talk about them. | ||
They talk about me. | ||
I have nothing to do with the guy. | ||
Do you want to shut them up? | ||
You want to shut everyone up about this? | ||
Just drag the Clintons out. | ||
Just drag them out one more time and say, yo, let's go ahead and look at Bill. | ||
Let's go look at Bill. | ||
Because if you looked at Bill, then you'd have to start asking questions about guys like Kevin Spacey. | ||
If you looked at Bill Clinton, if you redirected here and said they're the criminals, just like he's doing with Obama right now, Barack Hussein, Obama. | ||
You know Donald Trump's serious when he pulls up the Hussein. | ||
When you spin it around, ladies and gentlemen, they'll shut up. | ||
They'll shut up. | ||
Because you're going to have to find the answer to this question. | ||
Can we hear him? | ||
You're going to have to find the answer to this. | ||
unidentified
|
I was going to trip to South Africa because there were these young girls. | |
And we were like, who is this guy? | ||
So I will say this. | ||
There were young girls on those flights. | ||
There were young girls on those flights. | ||
Yeah. | ||
With Bill Clinton? | ||
There were young girls on the flights? | ||
I doubt that you have a friend who has a private jet. | ||
I really highly doubt you have a friend who has a private jet the size of Jeffrey Epstein's. | ||
Jeffrey Epstein's jet was the same jet that Air Force One jet. | ||
It's a massive jet, private rooms and everything. | ||
It's an enormous jet. | ||
It costs $80,000 an hour to operate this jet. | ||
So I doubt you have, I don't, I don't have friends like that. | ||
Okay, maybe you do. | ||
I don't think so. | ||
But even if you did, let's say they invited you on the jet and a bunch of little kids came out, like a bunch of little girls come out in their underwear and start dancing. | ||
What the hell would you do? | ||
I'm telling you, I would reach for a parachute and like smash a window and jump. | ||
Like I would do, because that's the end of your life. | ||
It's like, not only is it, of course, deeply immoral, I'd be worried about my soul and where I'd spend eternity. | ||
Not only is it deeply immoral, of course, sick and evil, but also clearly something's like, something's wrong here. | ||
Not only about my soul in eternity, but when that plane lands, what photos are there of me on this plane? | ||
Like what videos are there of me? | ||
Like what, this is going to destroy everything. | ||
My family, my wife. | ||
Everything's wrong. | ||
I'll do anything to get that plane to land and to get the hell off it and then to call the authorities as soon as I could. | ||
Hopefully the authorities waiting there at the airport. | ||
There's a bunch of little kids on this plane. | ||
This jet took off and those little kids came out. | ||
Arrest that man, officer. | ||
I don't want anything to do with it. | ||
I'm reporting it. | ||
Wouldn't you know what you would do? | ||
This is Kevin Spacey being like, yeah, these little girls came out and started dancing. | ||
Like, we just thought it was Norway. | ||
You know, it looked bad for Bill, but like, you know, I guess That's just part of the thing. | ||
No! | ||
What? | ||
What? | ||
So, of course, a Clinton Global Initiative playing, you see. | ||
Maybe the little girls were from Haiti. | ||
If you know, you know. | ||
Okay. | ||
So, this is the correct vector of attack. | ||
Good. | ||
President Trump. | ||
Jelaine Maxwell offering boxes of evidence now? | ||
What is this? | ||
Here's photos. | ||
Very blurry photos, but nonetheless, because they have to be taken from a very far distance away. | ||
Photos of Jelaine Maxwell carrying like entire boxes of evidence into her meetings with the Fed. | ||
I don't know what that is, but there it is. | ||
That's Jelaine. | ||
There are the boxes. | ||
What is it? | ||
What is that? | ||
It clearly looks like documents. | ||
What are they? | ||
Jelaine Maxwell holds a mysterious box as she returns to Florida prison after meeting with Trump's DOJ. | ||
What does Jelaine Maxwell have? | ||
The disgraced British socialite wearing all brown, handcuffed in the front, was led through a barbed wire laced fence in the area in front of the prison. | ||
Two guards remained outside of the brick building. | ||
Before the doors opened, the former girlfriend of the late sex offender was uncuffed and walked inside, carrying her box with her. | ||
Maxwell had been outside of the prison for hours as she had met with the Deputy Attorney General Tom Blanche inside of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tallahassee. | ||
Today I met with Jelene Maxwell, says Blanche in a post on X. I will continue to interview her tomorrow. | ||
That's ongoing. | ||
That's happening right now. | ||
The Department of Justice will share additional information on what's going on in the appropriate time. | ||
Well, you can't argue that they aren't trying. | ||
Here. | ||
Maxwell reportedly answered all of the DOJ questions, honestly. | ||
Okay, here's what a lawyer has to say. | ||
Her lawyer is David Oscar Marcus is his name. | ||
And he said it was a great meeting. | ||
Well, I mean, if he's happy, what exactly does that mean? | ||
Again, I'm not telling you that Jelene Maxwell's the good guy here. | ||
She's not. | ||
She does know. | ||
She's the key to everything. | ||
So here we go. | ||
Productive day today with the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch and Glenn Maxwell. | ||
First, we want to thank the Deputy Attorney General for being so professional with all of us and for meeting with us. | ||
He took a full day and asked a lot of questions. | ||
unidentified
|
And Miss Maxwell answered every single question. | |
She never stopped, she never invoked a privilege. | ||
She never declined to answer. | ||
She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly, and to the best of her ability. | ||
And that's all the comment we're going to have today about the meeting. | ||
We don't want to comment about the substance of the meeting for obvious reasons. | ||
And we'll go from there. | ||
So thank you all so much. | ||
Will you guys be coming back for a second day? | ||
We're not going to comment on that now. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Thank you. | ||
Thank you all. | ||
I guess I don't know what to make of it other than do you know that we've been saying for the extra what are we on like three weeks of this now? | ||
July 6th was when they dropped that infamous memo. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh my God, why are they lying? | |
Anyway, July 6th was when they did it. | ||
So yeah, now we're on the last week of July. | ||
Goodness gracious. | ||
But same thing we've been saying. | ||
Clearly someone's lying. | ||
Clearly the government is withholding and out with it. | ||
Out with it. | ||
And if it destroys Bill Clinton forever and if it destroys the Democrat Party or if it destroys evil countries who are operating and doing crimes on American soil for Intel, then so be it. | ||
Let it all burn. | ||
That's what I say. | ||
Jonathan Turley is a wise legal mind. | ||
He was on Fox News last night. | ||
And he was saying, what's remarkable because Delane Maxwell has never had the federal government even try to get any information from her, which you'd think would, is it, isn't that like the first possible rung of any investigation that you like talk to the people who are the accomplices? | ||
This is what was so weird when we had that mobster on. | ||
Michael Francés is his name. | ||
And he shared a cell with Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
He was in the same cell Epstein was in. | ||
And that dude was like, this isn't a RICO operation. | ||
It's a cover-up. | ||
The prosecution is the cover-up. | ||
They're not trying to charge any of the people who are actually in on the crimes. | ||
In fact, they're giving immunity to all of them. | ||
Same thing with Diddy. | ||
You can't charge a guy with RICO without having a racketeering offense without having a criminal network to charge. | ||
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. | ||
You charge the whole criminal network all the way up. | ||
That's how you run a RICO case. | ||
Dude's like, I've been part of like seven of them. | ||
This is a wrap-up operation. | ||
The prosecution is the cover-up. | ||
Feds never wanted to even hear from Jelaine Maxwell. | ||
Listen to this from Charlie. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, a source says former Biden chief of staff Ron Clain even testified that by last year, Hillary Clinton and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told him they were concerned about Joe Biden's chances in the presidential election, that he may not have been politically viable. | |
That's according to a source familiar with Klain's voluntary interview, who also said Sullivan told Klain that Biden was less effective in 2024 compared to 22. | ||
A spokesperson for Sullivan says he never spoke with Klain about Biden running again before the debate and also disputed the account of Klain's testimony before the committee. | ||
This is all part of the House Oversight Committee's investigation of then President Biden's use of the We apologize, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
ALX is grabbing us the right clip of how it works. | ||
We're live. | ||
Got a great team, but it's Friday, right? | ||
Here we go. | ||
Here's Jonathan Turley getting loaded up right now. | ||
That's also a very interesting clip, and maybe we'll get to it later in the show. | ||
Here's Jonathan Turley sounding off on why hasn't the federal government ever interviewed Gelaine Maxwell? | ||
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
Send the Deputy Attorney General to interview Glene Maxwell. | ||
I think they want full control of this. | ||
This is what her brother is saying in a statement. | ||
She would be putting before a court material, new evidence that was not available to the defense at her 2021 trial, which would have had a significant impact on its outcome. | ||
Is she going to get something in return? | ||
I mean, there's really no motivation to talk with the feds unless she gets some type of deal. | ||
What could that deal be? | ||
unidentified
|
Right, Lawrence, that's really the key question here. | |
There is a thing called a 5K 1.1 motion that the Justice Department can file for cooperation to reduce a sentence. | ||
That's usually when someone is a key witness in the prosecution of a third party. | ||
The defense can also go to a court and ask for reduction based on new evidence, but we haven't seen that. | ||
She was convicted and given 20 years. | ||
And so the question is, if there's something there, why haven't they revealed it so far? | ||
The third possibility is a commutation, more likely than a pardon, from the president maybe at the end of his term if she is a highly cooperative witness. | ||
So all of those are possibilities for Maxwell. | ||
The question is, what she has. | ||
I was surprised in speaking with a member of the legal defense team a couple days ago when they said that reports that she had been previously interviewed by federal and state prosecutors and investigators was not true. | ||
That she had never been interviewed. | ||
Yes, despite all of these past investigations in this scandal, I was really taken aback by that. | ||
So if that's true, she could be an untapped source of new information. | ||
The question is, what is that information? | ||
Is it just salacious or is it something more that would reveal criminal conduct? | ||
Shelane Maxwell, 1961 to next week or so. | ||
Possibly. | ||
Dark. | ||
It's Gallows humor. | ||
It's Gallows humor. | ||
It's Friday. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen. | ||
You boy. | ||
Those are the memes being shared. | ||
I don't know, man. | ||
I'm hoping for everything. | ||
I'm hoping that they actually let Jillian Maxwell speak, explain everything, talk to the American people. | ||
They release all the documents. | ||
I hope that the Clintons get a chance to actually answer for their relationship. | ||
I hope that President Trump continues the wise and smart, age-old, decades-old tactic of saying Bill Clinton has something to hide. | ||
Why don't you ask him? | ||
And before we get to our first guest, just a reminder that Bill Clinton has never been asked about this on the record. | ||
Isn't it obscene? | ||
The Clintons go on MSNBC. | ||
They literally have a tent, a lean-to in the MSNBC green room that says property of the Clintons. | ||
They're so often on that channel or on CNN. | ||
They're doing interviews. | ||
They're pushing book deals, whatever. | ||
They're on NBC. | ||
The Clintons are often and regularly being interviewed and they've never been asked about that at 20 years and they've never been asked about this. | ||
Nothing, nothing from the campaign trail. | ||
Hillary Clinton was running for president and available for questions and was probably asked hundreds of thousands of questions in 2016 and beyond. | ||
No one's ever asked about Bill Clinton and Epstein. | ||
Isn't that something? | ||
Bill Clinton was asked one time about it. | ||
His response is, well, watch. | ||
unidentified
|
Mr. Clinton, any comments on the thought deduction with Jeffrey Epstein? | |
Here we go. | ||
I got it. | ||
And then Clinton looks back at the guy. | ||
Look at that. | ||
Clinton looks back at the guy like, okay. | ||
All right, dude. | ||
And do you value your life? | ||
The evidence, by the way, is Bill Clinton in a blue dress hanging in Jeffrey Epstein's. | ||
This is the evidence. | ||
Here, the evidence is clear. | ||
The evidence is Kevin Spacey saying there was a bunch of little girls on the plane that Bill Clinton, Jeffrey Epstein loaned the Clinton Foundation his plane with the little girls on it. | ||
It was on loan to Bill Clinton's Clinton Foundation. | ||
You know who's also in charge of the Clinton Foundation? | ||
Hillary Clinton. | ||
Hillary Clinton was once asked about this just one time. | ||
One time that Hillary Clinton was asked about this, Alex Rosen got physically beat for even daring to bring it up at a speech. | ||
Here we go. | ||
You want somebody who's going to get up every day. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, Hillary! | |
Why is your husband missing FC Nileman 26 times? | ||
I'm going to fast forward a little bit. | ||
Can you see here? | ||
Is this really necessary? | ||
unidentified
|
Is this really necessary? | |
Have you ever seen anybody dragged out of a Trump event like this? | ||
You ever seen anybody like Libs go protest Trump every time he speaks live? | ||
You ever seen any of them? | ||
Like this? | ||
No. | ||
It's almost like you ask the only question you're not allowed to ask. | ||
The only question. | ||
The final little piece of evidence here. | ||
We don't have to play it because we've played it so many times on the show, but like Project Veritas, Amy Rohrbach, ABC News. | ||
She says, yo, I had the Clintons. | ||
I had photos of them. | ||
Photos, videos, victims. | ||
I had them all and they killed it. | ||
You know the name she doesn't mention? | ||
Donald Trump here. | ||
I had the Clintons, she says. | ||
Dead to rights. | ||
All of them. | ||
ABC News killed it. | ||
So it'd be really nice to see this strategy play out. | ||
It'd be a wonderful thing to see us muscularly start asking these questions, the questions that we've been asking for a very long time. | ||
And you know what? | ||
If you have nothing to hide, then you shouldn't be worried about it. | ||
The interesting thing is that the Clintons are acting very worried. | ||
All right. | ||
Exciting Friday morning. | ||
You always love to see it. | ||
You always love to see it pop off like this. | ||
I love to see this show previewing the next day's news cycle. | ||
And it's nice to know, ladies and gentlemen, that the future looks bright. | ||
And The future is very, very bright with representatives like Pat Harrington, who is joining our show live right now to talk about this and many other things. | ||
Pat Harrington, Congressman from the great state of North Carolina, it's also a green beret. | ||
Here we go. | ||
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
How you doing, Congressman? | ||
What's going on, man? | ||
Oh, look, you added the lake. | ||
Look at the lake. | ||
unidentified
|
I did. | |
I added the lake, and I promise I didn't do the black shirt intentionally. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
You're not at FC Island, are you? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. | |
That's Lake Hickory in the beautiful 10th District of North Carolina. | ||
Love for you all to come. | ||
Tad to check. | ||
Okay. | ||
We plan on going there, actually, and doing a bunch of interviews at the airport. | ||
The people have got to know something, you know, in those little auxiliary islands. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Okay. | ||
So, Pat, Congressman, tell us a little something. | ||
What the hell is going on here in the House? | ||
And what's happening when it comes to the Jelaine Maxwell testimony that has been asked for by congressional oversight? | ||
Apparently, there's now a subpoena out. | ||
August 11th, James Comer's Government Oversight Committee will be subpoenaing Jelaine Maxwell. | ||
What say you to that? | ||
I think it's good? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think it is good. | |
And I think we should subpoena her. | ||
We obviously did. | ||
It'll be interesting to see that feedback. | ||
I don't think that we can take it with 100% trust, obviously, for obvious reasons. | ||
But I think that the American people deserve a chance to hear her speak. | ||
And I think that they'll get that opportunity. | ||
So I think it's a good positive development for something that has been very, very cloudy and murky and incredibly difficult, if not impossible, for people to understand. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I mean, you have a pretty rich background in special forces and special operations. | ||
Do you think there's an intel element to this that has been woven in that perhaps the secrecy is buried deep somewhere in the CIA? | ||
unidentified
|
You know, I have no idea. | |
I really don't. | ||
And it would be, you know, unfair for me to opine in that perspective. | ||
But, you know, I could comment from an intelligence perspective, right? | ||
This would be a potentially great op, right? | ||
Because it gives you a lot of leverage over people. | ||
And because it deals with children, there's the element that you get all the leverage. | ||
And if the program would be blown, if such a program did exist, there's very little chance that it would become public because it deals with kids, right? | ||
And I think that's actually part of the issue that we're really dealing with, trying to be responsible with the information at hand, which is you have a lot of victims, hundreds of young children at the time, now adults, that don't want to have their whole lives completely steamrolled by this. | ||
And so I think that's why as we look potentially unsealed grand jury testimony, the relevant judges in the case are being extraordinarily careful in seeking that feedback from those victims. | ||
I think one judge said an August 1st deadline for that kind of impact statement and feedback and what they want, because there is an element here that as we get to the truth, and let me be really clear, the American people deserve the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth here, that we also have to protect the victims. | ||
Good man. | ||
I love to hear clarity of statement like that. | ||
And, you know, it's really nice to see President Trump sort of back into the comfort zone saying, well, wait a second, I have nothing to hide here. | ||
Like, what about Bill Clinton? | ||
You know, you haven't asked him anything. | ||
He's a guy who, and we have this clip and we'll just play it. | ||
You know, it's like, because it's amazing that you can, it's amazing that it even exists. | ||
It's Kevin Spacey saying, yo, I was on the plane with Bill Clinton and I was on this jet and we were traveling around the world and I thought it was really bad because there were all these little girls that came up on the jet. | ||
And I was like, well, there's no way that this clip can actually exist. | ||
Here it is. | ||
unidentified
|
Because I felt he put the president at risk on that trip to South Africa because there were these young girls. | |
And we were like, who is this guy? | ||
So I will say this. | ||
There were young girls on those flights. | ||
There were young girls on those flights. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So what the, wait a second, what the hell, Congressman? | ||
Has Bill Clinton ever asked to answer a question about this? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't think anybody has. | |
And I think that's the problem. | ||
And Benny, like, this is where, look, I'm a simpleton, right? | ||
Like, I want to just boil stuff down to the very simplest baseline question that you could possibly get out of all this because it's just unclear, right? | ||
But I think Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the only person that has been convicted, incarcerated for 20 years for human trafficking, right? | ||
Trafficking underage girls to nobody. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
And that's why the American people don't buy what's going on. | |
Okay. | ||
So, yeah, be really nice. | ||
I mean, I hear that I know that the House, I know that you're a House Republican. | ||
The House Republicans have subpoenaed Bill and Hillary Clinton on this. | ||
Like, that's a great first step. | ||
Like, be nice. | ||
You know, it's a great first step. | ||
Because, like, their own friends seem to be outing them. | ||
It's like a pretty bad defense, actually, when your own friends are going on national TV and saying these kind of things about you. | ||
So, yeah, it'd be good. | ||
You're on House Oversight. | ||
A quick question on ObamaGate here, clearly on the Oversight Committee. | ||
There's going to be something that you guys are going to be sinking your teeth into. | ||
You know, what happens next? | ||
There's a lot of people in our audience that are like, well, will anything come of this, right? | ||
Okay, so you've just revealed all this like demonstrable evidence of Barack Obama rigging the election and the administration and the Intel community against President Trump. | ||
Will anybody be prosecuted for this at all? | ||
What's your over-under, Congressman? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, Benny, first off, I'm actually not on oversight. | |
I'm on House Armed Services and I'm on science, space, and technology, but I'll still take the question and the answer is I hope so, right? | ||
If this Evidence is real. | ||
And look, I take General Flynn's perspective on life. | ||
Trust no one, not even your mother, particularly when it comes to Washington, D.C. politics. | ||
And so I don't trust any side. | ||
I want to see evidence. | ||
I want to see the facts. | ||
And those need to be able to stand up in court. | ||
But I think if it does, I think we have some very serious problems. | ||
And what I said on Twitter earlier this week about this being a bigger scandal than Watergate, I think is absolutely true, should this evidence prove to stand up, which I absolutely think that it can. | ||
And so that's incredibly, incredibly problematic. | ||
And it does mean people need to be held accountable, up to and including the president of the United States. | ||
I think President Barack Obama is famous for saying, no one is above the law. | ||
And those words mean something. | ||
Yes. | ||
Certainly means something as the commander-in-chief. | ||
I know that you have a very distinguished, distinguished service, military service record. | ||
Two bronze stars. | ||
Not one. | ||
Two bronze stars. | ||
Is this correct? | ||
That's correct. | ||
So it does seem to be really problematic when the commander-in-chief is ordering the intelligence community to create fake information on his successor. | ||
I mean, that seems like at its core, that seems like treasonous. | ||
I don't know. | ||
What would you color it as? | ||
Treasonous, seditious conspiracy? | ||
What crime do you see here, Congressman? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think it's a mix mash of all of the above, right? | |
I mean, there's so many different things that are wrong with it that are absolutely anathema to the way that a functioning republic ought to operate. | ||
And I think it's exactly why kind of tying it back to the entire Doge process, right? | ||
I mean, like part of Doge was not just fraud, waste, and abuse. | ||
It was non-accountability. | ||
You had these agencies that just went rogue on the American people. | ||
They went rogue on the executive branch. | ||
And to the extent that they colluded with a different version of the executive branch in order to ultimately influence the direction and trajectory of this country and all unlawful purposes, you know, that people should be held accountable for it. | ||
Heads should absolutely roll. | ||
And it's something that is sacred in this country and should never happen again. | ||
Yes. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, we hope. | |
I don't know if you have any interest in being on oversight, but we'll be happy to lead the campaign for you, Congressman. | ||
Also, you could set up the witness protection lighting for any dateline 60 minutes interview. | ||
unidentified
|
This is so bright down here. | |
I like the cicadas. | ||
I like the ambiance. | ||
It's been lulling me. | ||
It's been beautiful. | ||
The cicadas, I envy you, actually, being able to sit there by the water. | ||
I hope you have an excellent day, Congressman. | ||
Here's Pat Harrington's social media. | ||
You can see here, he's an absolute freaking fighter, not just for this country, for our movement. | ||
You should follow him. | ||
And he's somebody who, I don't know, I was thinking maybe he's going to run for Senate in North Carolina, but it turns out that it's going to be Michael Watley, our friend. | ||
I assume, do you endorse Michael Watley, Congressman? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, Benny, I'm with the president 100% of the way. | |
I was very, very genuinely honored to have my name thrown in the ring and kept in there for so long. | ||
It was pretty cool. | ||
I think it's proof positive of the work that my staff and I are doing up in Washington, the work that we're doing for constituents down here in the district. | ||
And I'm super stoked with the job that I have right now. | ||
I have much, much more work to do. | ||
And I'm just very, very honored and very blessed to be in the position that I'm in. | ||
Well, we're proud to have you up and fighting for us in Washington, D.C. Godspeed, Congressman. | ||
Everybody follow Pat Harrington. | ||
Enjoy your day at the lake. | ||

See you, Betty. | |
Y'all take care. | ||
See ya. | ||

Okay. | |
Rocking and rolling, ladies and gentlemen, I guess let's go straight from that to Donald Trump. | ||
Roasting Jerome Powell to his face. | ||
One of the single funniest things I've ever seen in my life is, well, this photo. | ||
This is Jerome Powell, a stubborn old mule, as Donald Trump calls him. | ||
Jerome Powell's in charge of the Fed. | ||
The Fed won't lower rates. | ||
The Fed lowered rates in order to get Kamala elected. | ||
That didn't work out. | ||
And so now they've kept rates stubbornly high, even though the economy is doing spectacular. | ||
When you don't lower rates, you make it cripplingly hard for young people to buy or afford houses. | ||
These interest rates of 7% and 8% are like damn near criminal. | ||
It's so impossible to buy a house. | ||
It adds hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to the house over the lifespan of a 30-year mortgage. | ||
Young people, old people, any people can't live under these rates for long. | ||
And it ends up really kneecapping an economy when people can't buy homes and get their lives started. | ||
Something that is profoundly important to our program, that young men and young women walk in and seize the American dream by getting married, having children, growing a family. | ||
And you can't do that in a one-room apartment. | ||
You just can't. | ||
I guess you could try, but it's very hard. | ||
I have four kids. | ||
Who boy would not want to be in a one-room apartment with them? | ||
You need a house and a home. | ||
And there's lots of land and property in this country. | ||
It's a massive country. | ||
And we should have the ability for young people to get their lives started by keeping the interest rates so astonishingly high, even though the unemployment numbers are cratering through the floor. | ||
The employment numbers are sky high. | ||
Revenue numbers for the federal government are sky high. | ||
The economy is doing incredible right now. | ||
There are so many blinking green signals in our economy. | ||
Anyway, I don't need to nerd out on this. | ||
Not only that, I'm not trying to pretend to be the world's top economic professional. | ||
What I am trying to say is I understand just the basics of it because I'm a relatively young person and I've bought houses before. | ||
And, you know, it'd be a totally different thing. | ||
I bought my house that I live in right now. | ||
Humble little house in a working class neighborhood in Tampa. | ||
I bought that house with my wife in 2021 when the interest rates were like 2%. | ||
Would I be able to afford it today at a 7% or 8% rate? | ||
No way. | ||
It would have made a totally different calculus for us, right? | ||
Anyway, the point is, is that it's very bad. | ||
And Donald Trump wants Jerome Powell to raise the rates. | ||
And so he's decided to go on a humiliation ritual by dragging Jerome Powell in front of the cameras of the world and embarrassing him over the construction or refurbishment of the Federal Reserve. | ||
Now, I've done home repair projects. | ||
They can be expensive. | ||
But what the hell is a two or three billion dollar repair project? | ||
That's obscene. | ||
That's what's happening at the Fed right now. | ||
I don't understand how that's even possible. | ||
Two, three billion dollars. | ||
Isn't that not what you pay to two, three billion dollars is what you pay to build a skyscraper, right? | ||
Like what, how much did the Empire State Building cost to build? | ||
How much? | ||
How much is that? | ||
How much does the Empire State Building cost? | ||
How much does it cost to build Trump Tower in New York? | ||
What was the price of the Empire State Building? | ||
$40 million? | ||
I mean, we'd have to adjust that for inflation. | ||
But, okay, $40 million. | ||
And the Fed is spending $3 billion on building their building? | ||
Okay, so $600 million today. | ||
That's the price of the Empire State Building. | ||
So the Fed says the Empire State Building is arguably the most famous skyscraper on Earth. | ||
It was built 100 years ago. | ||
And the Fed is trying to build four of them for themselves. | ||
The cost of four Empire State buildings is what the Fed's doing for their building renovation. | ||
Insane. | ||
I guess when you own the money printers, you can just print all the money. | ||
So here's Donald Trump. | ||
That's the background. | ||
That's my take on the Fed. | ||
Here's President Trump roasting Jerome Powell to his face over about the cost overruns that could well be an episode from the office. | ||
It's one of the funniest things that President Trump's ever done. | ||
Let's go. | ||
unidentified
|
Billion went up a little bit or a lot. | |
So the 2.7 is now 3.1. | ||
I'm not aware of that. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, it just came out. | |
I haven't heard that from anybody for Fed. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, it just came out. | |
Martin's added about 3.1 as well. | ||
3.1, 3.2. | ||
This came from us? | ||
Yes. | ||
I don't know who does that. | ||
You're including the Martin renovation. | ||
You just added in the third building, is what that is. | ||
That's a third building. | ||
It's a building that's being built. | ||
It was built five years ago. | ||
We finished Martin five years ago. | ||
It's part of the overall work. | ||
unidentified
|
So we're going to take a look. | |
We're going to see what's happening. | ||
And it's got a long way. | ||
unidentified
|
Do you expect any more additional cost of funds? | |
Don't expect them. | ||
We're ready for them. | ||
unidentified
|
But we have a little bit of a reserve that we may use. | |
But no, we don't. | ||
Expect to be finished in 2027. | ||
unidentified
|
We're well along, as you can see. | |
Nice to take these off every once in a while when we're not in. | ||
So we're going to take a look. | ||
So what Trump did was he said, you've done, over the last five years, you've done billions and billions, over $3 billion worth of renovations here. | ||
So you have all these multiple buildings. | ||
Nobody even knows really what the Fed does. | ||
They've done a horrible job. | ||
The dollar is worth like less than it's ever been worth in America. | ||
It's lost like an obscene amount of its value even this year. | ||
I don't have the numbers in front of me. | ||
So yeah, the Fed's done a terrible job. | ||
They're crippling the future for young people in this country. | ||
President Trump is there on a humiliate, dragging Jerome Powell into a humiliation ritual. | ||
And then you know you're in trouble when Donald Trump reaches into his pocket. | ||
You know you're cooked when Donald Trump reaches into his pocket and pulls out the paper. | ||
You know you're done. | ||
You know you're finished when Trump reaches into his pocket and pulls out the Paper. | ||
I said, oh, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
unidentified
|
Hold on. | |
I got it. | ||
I got it right here. | ||
Turn the lights down. | ||
Grab me that clip and grab me Trump with the J6 tweets. | ||
Grab me those famous, those are the famous clips of Trump doing that. | ||
You know, you're cooked. | ||
Trump was asked: What would happen if you were on a construction site and there were these cost overruns? | ||
Like what's going on with this building? | ||
And let me explain. | ||
This is costing, again, four or five Empire State buildings to just renovate the Federal Reserve Building. | ||
They're not even building a brand new building. | ||
They're not building a brand new skyscraper. | ||
They're just renovating an old building. | ||
And it's costing $3 billion. | ||
I can assure you what's happening there. | ||
I know this because I lived in DC for a very long time and part of that ecosystem. | ||
The DC ecosystem is so cringe backwards. | ||
They know that the federal government controls the money printer and they just print more money. | ||
And so when you get jobs like this, like when you get a con, when a contractor gets this job, they're going to bid the job. | ||
They're going to get the job. | ||
And then they're going to cost over, they're going to use it as a money printing machine because they know that the feds control the money printing machine. | ||
So they're just going to, and they know they'll never get fired. | ||
And they're all union workers. | ||
And so there's protections against getting fired. | ||
There's protection against bad work. | ||
So they're not going to work. | ||
They're going to delay the job forever. | ||
And they're going to cost overrun. | ||
Nobody's going to do a lick of work. | ||
They're just going to stand around and everyone's just going to get paid for doing zero. | ||
There's no accountability. | ||
There's no free market. | ||
And that's what President Trump's doing here is pressuring them. | ||
It's a beautiful thing. | ||
Here we go. | ||
What would you do if you had cost overruns like this, Mr. President? | ||
unidentified
|
As a real estate developer, as a real estate developer, what would you do with a project manager who would be over budget? | |
Generally speaking, what would I do? | ||
I'd fire him. | ||
I'd fire him. | ||
And then the best part of the day, Donald Trump slapping Jerome Powell on the back. | ||
They call it Walker Room Talk. | ||
Slapping Jerome Powell on the back and saying, hey, hey, lower the rates. | ||
unidentified
|
So his little literal tough love here. | |
There you go. | ||
President, are there things the chairman can say to you today that would make you back off some of the earlier criticisms? | ||
Well, I'd love him to lower interest rates. | ||
Other than that, what can I tell you? | ||
All right. | ||
Well done. | ||
Okay, here we go. | ||
President Trump says he thinks Jerome Powell is ready to lower interest rates. | ||
Okay. | ||
We'll see. | ||
Maybe it worked. | ||
I got to pull it out. | ||
President Trump, I got to pull it out. | ||
You know, you're screwed when President Trump pulls it out. | ||
unidentified
|
Happened on that day. | |
I did not say that. | ||
unidentified
|
He has testified that. | |
I did not say that. | ||
unidentified
|
But you said you weren't very involved that day. | |
You did tell your supporters to come to Washington. | ||
You tweeted about it, about the speech that happened on the rally. | ||
In my last days, when they went to the Capitol and they were breaking into the Capitol, smashing windows, injuring police officers, why did it take you three hours to tell them to go home? | ||
I don't believe it did. | ||
Let me pull it out. | ||
unidentified
|
I have to pull it out. | |
We've just got to pause for a second. | ||
This is CNN. | ||
This is CNN's audience. | ||
Trump's turning CNN's audience against the CNN host. | ||
Those are turning point kids. | ||
Sure. | ||
I mean, maybe those are turning point kids. | ||
But who shows up for a live CNN taping? | ||
Typically not a bunch of MAGA Republicans. | ||
Now, I get it. | ||
That is Trump. | ||
But I'm telling you that there are many in this audience who are not there to cheer on the president, but Trump's just too good at this, too enigmatic. | ||
And he turns the CNN audience on the CNN host. | ||
unidentified
|
I would like for you to answer the question. | |
Okay, it's very simple to answer. | ||
unidentified
|
That's why I asked it. | |
Very nice. | ||
Very nice. | ||
Okay, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Very good. | ||
And Donald Trump's done this before. | ||
Again, you're cooked if Donald Trump. | ||
Donald Trump whips it out. | ||
Donald Trump pulls it out. | ||
Whatever. | ||
What does he say? | ||
unidentified
|
I gotta pull it out. | |
I don't believe it did. | ||
Oh, let me pull it out. | ||
unidentified
|
I have to pull it out. | |
You want to know why Caitlin Collins is so angry? | ||
You want to know why she's so vengeful and evil and bitter and nasty towards Trump? | ||
It's moments like that. | ||
Moments like that. | ||
And it's moments like this. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, here we go. | ||
This is great. | ||
This is the president of South Africa. | ||
Over a thousand of white farmers, and those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning. | ||
Each one of those white things you see is a cross. | ||
And there's approximately a thousand of them. | ||
They're all white farmers, the family of white farmers. | ||
All right. | ||
And those cars aren't driving. | ||
They stop there to pay respects to their family member who's killed. | ||
I mean, it's an incredible moment. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
They did the same thing with Zelensky and so on. | ||
And so, yeah, you know you're cooked when President Trump reaches into his pocket or tells him to turn the lights down. | ||
I want to show you something. | ||
Remarkable moment. | ||
Is this other clip? | ||
This is the other clip. | ||
Does this actually have it? | ||
This is the famous line. | ||
There you go. | ||
Okay. | ||
I just want to hear the first couple seconds for it. | ||
I just want to hear the first couple seconds. | ||
And our next guest is we're very excited to have on the program, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Turn the lights down. | ||
Turn the lights down. | ||
And just put this on. | ||
It's right behind you. | ||
Dr. Johan. | ||
unidentified
|
There's nothing this parliament can do with or without you. | |
You know you're cooked. | ||
You know you're finished. | ||
When Trump starts whipping out the props, you know you're finished. | ||
Turn the lights down, will you? | ||
I want to show you something. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, somebody who's joining our program right now, very excited about it. | ||
Somebody who's never been on the show, but somebody who has something very interesting to say is the Texas Land Commissioner, who's obviously a very powerful person in America's, I think America's second largest state. | ||
And I think it goes to Alaska, Texas. | ||
We'll ask. | ||
And she has a proposal for the White House that has to do with a question we directly asked Trump at Alligator Alcatraz. | ||
I hope we have it. | ||
Because I asked, do you want to put crocodiles in the Rio Grande? | ||
You proposed that, Mr. President. | ||
Trump answered. | ||
He said, yeah, actually, I'd really like to put crocodiles, really nasty, angry African crocodiles. | ||
He told me that on the tarmac. | ||
Well, ladies and gentlemen, somebody who could actually deliver for the president on that dream is Dawn Buckingham, who joins us live now, Texas Land Commissioner. | ||
Let's rock and roll. | ||
Dawn, welcome to the program. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, great to be on with you today. | |
So I was thrilled about this booking because this was the first question I had for the president at Alligator Alcatraz because he's, you know, he's been talking about putting crocodiles in the Rio Grande for a long time and never got around to it. | ||
But you are here with potentially a proposal for a Texas version of Alligator Alcatraz. | ||
This is fascinating. | ||
Please explain, Commissioner. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, back last fall, we announced the Jocelyn Initiative. | |
As you know, Jocelyn Nungery was one of our young ladies who lost her life so horrifically at the hands of some migrants who had come across illegally. | ||
And we just said, look, we're happy to partner up with the federal government for detention and deportation centers. | ||
We had just purchased a property on the Rio Grande for the sole purpose of getting the wall up and stopping all the terrible crime that was happening on that property because the current owner wouldn't allow law enforcement on it. | ||
But we're here and ready, willing to go. | ||
Texas actually has several deportation and detention facilities that are working really well right now. | ||
And so, but we just want to be a good partner and we are so excited about the turnaround at the border, which is of course mainly driven by the federal policies that we've seen. | ||
You know, immediately Trump takes office and we see a 98% decrease in the people coming across the border and a 99% decrease in the gotaways. | ||
So things are looking good at the border. | ||
That's incredible. | ||
So you've, you can attest personally that this border is officially shut down. | ||
unidentified
|
You know, we still do see some traffic over it, but in general, it is effectively shut down more than it has ever been, which is the perfect example of how we need to keep our infrastructure going. | |
We need to get that wall, keep the boots on the ground, the technology watching everything. | ||
But it's the federal policies that really serve as the incentive that bring people here illegally, as we saw under the Biden administration. | ||
Yes, that's right. | ||
What about some of the criminal alien communities in Texas? | ||
I know there was a pretty famous story about a specific municipality that was allowing criminal aliens to buy houses without being American citizens and so on. | ||
Has all that been shut down? | ||
unidentified
|
We are making great steps in that. | |
We've had a couple communities that have been cause for concern. | ||
One for the illegal folks coming across the border. | ||
Texas did just pass a ban on foreign ownership, although it's more geared at people mostly from China, North Korea, Russia, things like that. | ||
But we also had a Muslim community going up that we've been in the middle of trying to stop because we believe it's inconsistent with our laws. | ||
So yes, we are in process on that as well. | ||
That's right. | ||
Could you perhaps give us an update on that? | ||
That's made quite a splash on social media, the Sharia city, they call it. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, believe it or not, parts of it had actually been in existence for 10 years, but there was a massive new development announced that, of course, you'd be under Sharia law and have to be Muslim to enjoy it, the Muslim way of living. | |
And they have all kinds of great slogans. | ||
So we believe it's inconsistent with our state laws. | ||
We've got several state agencies that they need permits from, but I don't anticipate them getting those permits. | ||
But we're doing everything we can to be sure that we don't have, you know, if nothing else, religious discrimination in our communities. | ||
We're definitely not going to tolerate Sharia law courts. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I mean, that seems totally incompatible, of course, with Western civilization, but also naturally with the culture of Texas, right? | ||
Which many people see as kind of the rich American fabric of the pioneering days and the cowboy days. | ||
And like, it's just like, wait, there's a Sharia city being built there. | ||
You know, like, I guess you could kind of scratch your head and look at like New York and Zorhan Mandami and say, okay, well, this is, you know, it's the Bronx. | ||
But in Texas, and everyone was very confused about that. | ||
unidentified
|
It is confusing, but it just shows you that they're persistent and ingenious, and we have to be ever vigilant to be sure we're watching out for these things. | |
Yeah. | ||
Okay. | ||
All right. | ||
So let's talk very quickly about this massive plot of land. | ||
This is the article here. | ||
100% on board. | ||
Border State offers Trump massive plot of land. | ||
How massive is this plot of land, Commissioner? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, we run 13 million acres. | |
We have hundreds of thousands of acres right on the border. | ||
So we just said, look, President Trump, Biden administration, Texas is united in anything you need, any property you need for detention and deportation of our illegal migrants, we're happy to provide. | ||
So, of course, Governor Abbott's been taking the lead on that, but we're all working together, all united, because I do not want one more parent to have to endure what Alexis Nungery has had to endure. | ||
I mean, losing your child that way is horrific. | ||
And losing your child at the hands of someone who shouldn't have even been here in the first place is absolutely horrific. | ||
So we're going to do everything we can, especially with the criminal, illegal migrants, to get them off our soil. | ||
We want them gone yesterday. | ||
Yes. | ||
Yes. | ||
I don't know, you know, if you actually cared about the people who live in your state and you cared about the Americans who reside in who, you know, fought for this land and who built this land and actually built this country. | ||
And then, of course, this is the common sense opinion to have. | ||
Why do people have the opposite opinion? | ||
Is there any defensible argument for waves upon waves of hundreds of millions of third world criminal aliens to be washed through a community? | ||
Is there any argument for that, Commissioner? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't see any defensible argument. | |
I do think my understanding that Doge uncovered the fact that the federal government under the Biden administration was completely funding and encouraging this to the NGOs with absolutely the plan to have those people be voting in a few years and turn the tides of our elections potentially forever. | ||
So I think that was their plot. | ||
It's completely indefensible for the economic prosperity and safety of our communities. | ||
That crime has touched every corner of the United States, every community. | ||
And so, but we're going to get it reversed. | ||
We're going to get it better. | ||
We're going to get the illegal migrants off of our soil and get our communities back to being safe and prosperous again. | ||
I just wanted to play you a very quick clip because we had a chance to talk to the president about Texas and about his dream of crocodiles in the Rio Grande. | ||
And here's the commentary that he gave us. | ||
Mr. President, in 2018, you suggested putting alligators in the Rio Grande to prevent crossings in Texas. | ||
Crocodiles, alligators. | ||
Did this a dream come true for you, sir? | ||
Well, I was thinking about that, I must say. | ||
It was meant more as a joke, but the more I thought of it, the more I liked it, if you want to know the truth. | ||
And they were actually crocodiles. | ||
They were crocodiles from Africa. | ||
They are a step beyond. | ||
But no, that was really meant as a joke, but a lot of people liked it. | ||
And a lot of people think we should do it, frankly. | ||
unidentified
|
Do you think we should do it? | |
You know, I know this is just. | ||
Yeah, it's Friday. | ||
It's Friday, so why not chat about it? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Are there going to be any African crocodiles released in the Rio Grande, Commissioner? | ||
unidentified
|
You know, maybe not anytime soon, but there might be some alligators already there. | |
We'll have to check. | ||
Okay. | ||
All right. | ||
But you are offering this massive property to the federal government in order to ensure that these deportations can happen and happen with great speed. | ||
And it'll be right on the border, right? | ||
So it should be pretty efficient. | ||
unidentified
|
Hopefully so. | |
You know, we're in process. | ||
We're working hand in hand. | ||
Of course, we just saw Christy Noam and President Trump down in Texas over our terrible flooding that we've had all throughout central Texas. | ||
You know, honestly, the worst disaster as far as taking lives that we've seen. | ||
So we got to chat with them a little bit there. | ||
But, you know, Texas is super excited to have President Trump in office. | ||
We're excited to have a good partner on the border security, and we're going to keep working hard to be sure that it is secure now and that it stays secure. | ||
Wonderful. | ||
Just a very quick update. | ||
How is the rebuild happening after that horrific flooding? | ||
I believe that the death toll was beyond 100. | ||
Is that correct? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think we're running around 160. | |
Of course, the rebuilding is just beginning. | ||
There's massive piles of debris, such a massive loss of life. | ||
I lost several friends in that flooding. | ||
My daughter went to that camp that the little girls were swept away from. | ||
It's going to be a while to rebuild, but you know, Texas is a community. | ||
And so we're going to mourn together and we're going to rebuild together. | ||
And we'll come out of this stronger than we were before. | ||
Stronger is, of course, the Texas Way. | ||
And I just wanted to put this up that I thought was so fascinating. | ||
You sitting here in a historic pose after a historic deal here with the largest, what is the largest purchase? | ||
Is it a purchase of land in Texas history or at least in the last 80 years in Texas? | ||
What's going on here? | ||
I mean, this is like 350,000 acres? | ||
Goodness. | ||
unidentified
|
That's about half the size of Rhode Island, but Texas does things big. | |
We feel like this was a strategic property for several reasons. | ||
One, we were blocking the Chinese from acquiring it because we've seen how they strategically acquire property adjacent to military bases. | ||
In fact, one of the first big pieces of property that they acquired is not too far from this one. | ||
It has a border component, as well as it has some rare earth minerals. | ||
It has lots of opportunity to earn money for the school children of Texas. | ||
Because of course, the 13 million acres that we run is set aside for public education. | ||
So in the last two and a half years, we've generated about $5 billion. | ||
That's billion with a B for public education. | ||
So we steward our lands. | ||
We generate revenue for the school children of Texas. | ||
We increase border security and we block China from buying it. | ||
So it was a win-win all the way around. | ||
Oh, and we got a heck of a deal about half off. | ||
So, you know, I like a good sale. | ||
All right. | ||
Well, it looks beautiful. | ||
Can you show the plateau one more time? | ||
Just absolutely stunning here. | ||
unidentified
|
It is stunning. | |
Look at that. | ||
I mean, that's just, I mean, just gorgeous. | ||
Just gorgeous. | ||
One more. | ||
One more. | ||
What river is the canyon river here? | ||
What river is? | ||
unidentified
|
That's the Rio Grande. | |
That's the river. | ||
Is it the Rio Grande? | ||
Right here in this image? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Gorgeous. | ||
Keep going, Klein, please. | ||
Keep going. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
The other river that's on it is ironically the San Francisco River. | ||
Yep, that's the Rio Grande. | ||
Wow. | ||
unidentified
|
It's thousand-foot cliffs on the Rio Grande. | |
Mountains, a lot of the ranch, you see mountains 360 degrees all the way around. | ||
It is a very special place. | ||
The Chihuahuan Desert has many very unique ecosystems on it. | ||
And we anticipate doing some really amazing things with that property. | ||
Wow. | ||
Well, congratulations. | ||
I love it when Texas shows up to the program. | ||
We have a ton of viewers in Texas. | ||
And well, they're very proud of their state. | ||
And you know what? | ||
The one thing that we got on you in Florida is we do have an alligator Alcatraz. | ||
And it looks like you're trying to take us over on that one too. | ||
unidentified
|
So shucks. | |
They keep getting away with it. | ||
All right. | ||
Well, thank you very much, Commissioner, for being on. | ||
Everybody needs to follow Dawn. | ||
Here's her social media. | ||
And they're in front of the Alamo with a big old steer, it looks like. | ||
That's quite a Texas photo right there. | ||
Congratulations. | ||
It looks like you are really holding it down for that fine state that you represent. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, thank you. | |
It's a blessing to be able to serve. | ||
And thanks for having me on. | ||
Thank you. | ||
you Thank you. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, in moments, we have Lena Haba sounding off after just one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Just an incredible masterstroke. | ||
Everybody, there's like a meme. | ||
There's like a meme that's like, you didn't understand. | ||
We were playing 5D chess. | ||
Biach. | ||
And there's a meme of that. | ||
And it's nice when that meme comes true in real life. | ||
And it just happened, in fact. | ||
Trump picks Alina Haba to remain as acting U.S., I'm sorry, U.S. attorney for New Jersey after judges reject her for the post. | ||
I don't cower to pressure. | ||
Let's read on what is 5D Chess. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, Alina Haba, President Trump's pick to serve as the New Jersey U.S. Attorney will continue to serve the Garden State Top Prosecutor, despite a panel of judges rejecting her for the post. | ||
Really? | ||
This is unique. | ||
Donald Trump is the 47th President of the United States. | ||
Pam Bonnie is the attorney general, and I am now the acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. | ||
Haba wrote, I don't cower to pressure, and I don't answer to politics to fight for justice, and I'm all in. | ||
She was tapped for the temporary role by Trump in March, pending a permanent approval. | ||
She had 120 days to serve in that interim capacity. | ||
17 federal judges in the garden state, mainly appointed by Barack Obama and Joe Biden, opted against extending her tenure and announced an appointment of the first assistant U.S. Attorney General in order to lead the office. | ||
Grace was subsequently fired by Pam Bondi, the second that she took that role, who said the DOJ would not tolerate rogue judges. | ||
A DOJ official explained to multiple outlets on Thursday that Trump withdrew Haba's nomination to be the U.S. attorney and that she was appointed to be the first assistant attorney, replacing Grace immediately, as that's how the mechanism works. | ||
And that makes Haba the now acting U.S. Attorney in New Jersey. | ||
Oh, it's so great. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, here she is. | ||
Back again. | ||
Back at it again. | ||
The great Alina Haba, the New Jersey U.S. Attorney. | ||
welcome to the program Congratulations. | ||
Welcome back. | ||
And quite the masterstroke here. | ||
Could you please explain for our viewers what happened over the last 24 hours? | ||
The internet was lit up like a Christmas tree over this. | ||
Many people celebrating. | ||
Alina, thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, never a dull moment, I would say. | |
I think that it's kind of unfortunate for my state that any of this is even happening, I'll be honest with you. | ||
But yeah, I'm the acting U.S. attorney. | ||
Obviously, there's a difference between Article 2 and Article 3 and judges, and they are missing a very important point, which is that the President of the United States picks the United States attorneys. | ||
We are part of the executive branch. | ||
And they, you know, I guess they preempted and struck out, but here we are. | ||
So I'm still the acting U.S. attorney. | ||
I'm ready to rock and roll and get back to work, which is what this is all supposed to be about. | ||
This is just a lot of noise. | ||
And it's unfortunate because I have a great office. | ||
I have roughly 300 people that work for me, you know, and I've got great prosecutors and people that it doesn't matter what your politics are. | ||
We're supposed to do our job, which is to clean up crime and to take care of the biggest, most important prosecutors in the state going after all of that. | ||
And instead, there's been this political noise that really has no place in the Department of Justice. | ||
And it's funny because they used to tell me, you know, how do we know you're not going to be political? | ||
Meanwhile, their behavior is exactly that. | ||
It's incredibly politically charged and it's unfortunate. | ||
Perhaps you could explain for our audience who was bewildered by this, Alina, how is it possible that rogue district judges would be able to usurp the power of the presidency? | ||
We've seen it happening so often, many smackdowns at the Supreme Court, but seems to be a real crisis. | ||
Perhaps the only major crisis for the administration has been the usurpation by the judiciary of presidential power. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, to put it in really simple terms, it's a complicated mechanism, what's happening. | |
And it's frankly, I think, a broken one. | ||
Let's say you're in a state and you become the U.S. attorney, generally speaking. | ||
There is a tradition called a blue slip that would be passed so that the nominees, that was me, can get in front of Senate and then you can vote no or yes. | ||
That's your prerogative as a senator. | ||
Anybody can do it. | ||
But it was tradition and it is tradition that, you know, you get a blue slip, right? | ||
And then you go in front, you put your documents, they question you, they can take rounds asking you things to make sure you're there for the right reasons. | ||
And then even if you don't want that person, you can then vote no. | ||
What we're seeing is a systemic problem where they're using the blue slip courtesy, it's not a law, as a mechanism to block the appointed U.S. attorneys for the Department of Justice by the president. | ||
And that puts those U.S. attorneys in a position where they're kind of stuck and you're in this freeze and you can't get out. | ||
And then they'll run the clock on you. | ||
And basically what ends up happening is, you know, they're attempting to thwart the president's powers. | ||
And it's what we saw in, unfortunately, with the Senate minority leader in my situation was direct instructions on Twitter telling the federal judges as a senator, as the Senate minority leader, to vote and block me because once it gets out of the Senate's ownership, the judges, if you're an interim, can vote to keep you. | ||
So I stepped down as the interim and Released my nomination, and I am now the acting U.S. attorney. | ||
So there was a strategic error made here. | ||
Is that correct? | ||
By Democrats who wished to usurp presidential power and try and torpedo your nomination. | ||
There was a critical error in timing made where the timing simply didn't work. | ||
They hadn't run their calendar correctly, I guess. | ||
unidentified
|
It seems though that there was a timing mistake. | |
I can't speak about politics. | ||
So I'm not, it's not, you know, it's a very basic system. | ||
You have 120 days as interim. | ||
I stepped down the day before. | ||
Okay. | ||
Well, we've been a strong ally of everything that you're doing there in the state. | ||
You've been clearly delivering. | ||
You've even gone on raids yourself. | ||
I think one of your first days, you suited up and assisted in the catching of some predators and some gangbangers. | ||
unidentified
|
And I'll continue to, Benny. | |
You know what's funny is I was criticized for it and people, you know, I see the comments and the nonsense and why is she wearing that? | ||
And why is she, I have to, because I have so many death threats. | ||
So I am not allowed to not wear a bulletproof vest if I'm going into a scenario and watching help support and praying is what I do. | ||
Actually, I show up at 5 a.m. and I pray with my law enforcement agents, my local, state, federal. | ||
I love doing it. | ||
And it's frankly exactly what they need. | ||
They've had their wings clipped for so long. | ||
So I'm a major back the blue person, but I get out there not for not for anything outside of the fact that I risk my own safety. | ||
And obviously I have to listen to the United States Marshals when they tell me that I can only go if you put and frankly, that's the same reason that anybody has to do that. | ||
It's a safety issue. | ||
And we all do it. | ||
And then I pray with them. | ||
I let them do their job. | ||
And they know that I was there in the morning to support them. | ||
And I don't, you know, I was criticized, imagine, for supporting our law enforcement. | ||
I'm not sure what the anger there is, but it's insanity to me. | ||
And these are the exact things. | ||
You know, I called balls and strikes with some cases that I wish had never had to come to my plate, but my job as the U.S. attorney is to consistently be a non-political person who looks at everything, looks at evidence, and just calls balls and strikes. | ||
And if that makes somebody upset, I'm sorry, but it will not stop me from doing what I need to do, which is keeping New Jersey safe, keeping making sure law enforcement can do their job and ensuring that the people in my state, and I have the whole district. | ||
So in New Jersey, it's a little different. | ||
There's only one U.S. attorney. | ||
So for me, we've got 9 million roughly people that it's my responsibility to make sure that if you break the law, you are held accountable for breaking the law. | ||
And that doesn't matter who you are. | ||
It doesn't matter what you do. | ||
I took this job full well knowing that it was a complete shift from what I used to do. | ||
And it's been the exact job and dream job that any lawyer could ask for, truly. | ||
And I hope I'm making a difference. | ||
I know we've, you know, in June alone, we arrested almost 300 violent criminals. | ||
And I'm going to continue to do so. | ||
And hopefully this nonsense that's happening surrounding what is clearly, in my opinion, a separation of powers issue is going to stop so that we can get back to the job that everybody wanted to do that ever became a U.S. attorney or a prosecutor. | ||
Humbly, Alina, we've been watching what's been going on in New Jersey, and we think we've pinpointed what you did to pluck a nerve. | ||
And it was when federal officers were assaulted by a sitting member of Congress and other elected Democrats. | ||
You can see it here, clear as day, on the footage that the Department of Homeland Security gave us from a body cam, where New Jersey Representative Congresswoman Lamonica McIver elbows, shoves, punches, and assaults federal officers. | ||
And I've told many Republican members of Congress that I would disown you if there was ever footage of you behaving like this towards law enforcement. | ||
And that's just a matter of fact. | ||
Alex Padilla also in the Senate, in that body, bumrushing and charging and screaming at Christy Noam and then crying on the Senate floor about how he was arrested. | ||
Well, this is just what gets you arrested. | ||
And it's humiliating, but it's also quite a trend, in fact, to see. | ||
Now, you were able to return three indictments. | ||
Is that correct? | ||
Against Congresswoman McIver? | ||
unidentified
|
I can't speak about this case because it's open. | |
But yes, it speaks for itself. | ||
Yes, there was an indictment. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, I think that this is obviously how this is clearly what clearly what ruffles some feathers is accountability. | ||
unidentified
|
It shouldn't be, Benny. | |
Can I be honest with you? | ||
It really, it should have nothing to do with it. | ||
And there was not a question that some choices I made were interpreted one way or another. | ||
But the truth of the matter is, it's just for me, very simple. | ||
Did you break the law? | ||
Did you break the law? | ||
It doesn't matter who you are, what your politics are. | ||
If you broke the law in my state, you will be held accountable. | ||
Period, the end. | ||
Now, if you want to interpret that and make it this, that, and the other, and say, whatever the noise is, well, you know, you're a politician. | ||
I'm not a politician. | ||
I'm a U.S. attorney. | ||
My job, as I said yesterday, is to uphold justice, to enforce the law. | ||
And that is all I am doing. | ||
And if that irritates people, that's not really on me. | ||
That sounds like a you problem, but I'm going to keep doing what I need to do, which is to keep New Jersey safe. | ||
And it's critical. | ||
And you can't do it and look at what anybody's background is. | ||
You don't care. | ||
And I don't care. | ||
It's the truth. | ||
It sounds like a lot of Fear and noise. | ||
And maybe that's a compliment at the end of the day. | ||
Yeah, maybe we can just zoom out 50,000 foot here and we can put up the indictments right here. | ||
This is what you posted. | ||
But maybe just asking the question, like, this is, I tend to agree, no one is above the law. | ||
And I heard that nonstop for the last four years. | ||
It just seems like some people do believe they are above the law. | ||
And not only that, there's this just stunning trend of attacks on law enforcement, attacks on federal officers, attacks on our uniformed service members. | ||
And it's disgraceful. | ||
And the only way it stops is if people stop it, like people in your position. | ||
unidentified
|
It has to stop. | |
I mean, I'm not really understanding what they're so mad about. | ||
And when I hear some of these people say, oh, they shouldn't wear masks or they shouldn't, you know, why are they dressed a certain, you know, safety is number one priority. | ||
These people are sacrificing away from their families, putting their lives in danger to make sure we stay safe. | ||
And then you want to dox them. | ||
So what? | ||
So somebody like me who has literally an indictment happened against somebody who's trying to kill me a couple weeks ago, I have had numerous threats on my life since coming here. | ||
And then people criticize you when you just try and be safe and make sure that you're doing your job and the people around you that protect you are doing their job. | ||
I don't get what you stand for. | ||
What do you stand for when you're pro-crime? | ||
What is that? | ||
I can't get it. | ||
I don't get it. | ||
I'm not pro-crime. | ||
You know what I am? | ||
Not pro-crime. | ||
So if you have an issue with that, I mean, you can paint me any color you want. | ||
I'm just not for crime. | ||
I'm not for people hurting our police and law enforcement and feds. | ||
And it's my job to make sure they know I'm behind them and I will be behind them in the state of New Jersey. | ||
It's also my job to make sure New Jersey feels safer while I'm there. | ||
And that is 100% what I will not stop doing. | ||
It just, it might irritate people. | ||
Maybe they want to, you know, it's just a lot of noise and fakeness. | ||
But the truth of the matter is every day we go to work, we take a look at every single case in the same way. | ||
Did they violate a law? | ||
How bad was it? | ||
The degree of it? | ||
What should we do? | ||
And we make those decisions every day with a great group of prosecutors that have worked in my office and do their job. | ||
And it's got to stop. | ||
I don't understand. | ||
I mean, what do you, what do you, why would you want criminals roaming the street? | ||
Why wouldn't you want our law enforcement to help us so that people don't get shot outside the GW bridge, right? | ||
Lake and Riley. | ||
Like I could go on and on and on. | ||
And then you want to hurt them? | ||
I don't think so. | ||
That's not happening in my state. | ||
It's just not. | ||
Just really quickly here and final question, Alina, is what is your message to people who are trying to stop you? | ||
We've obviously been covering your career and been excited to have you on the program through many iterations of you sort of standing up against the machine, sometimes you alone on the courthouse steps against the mob, let's just say. | ||
I just don't think people know Alina Haba the way that we do on this program. | ||
They're trying to pull dirty tricks. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, and I'll share some information with you. | |
I have never once spoken to Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
I have never once gotten a returned phone call from Andy Kim. | ||
And I've never once met Corey Booker. | ||
I would invite them to work with me for the state of New Jersey. | ||
That's my advice, because if you care about our people, put politics aside and let's work together to make New Jersey safe. | ||
That would be my message. | ||
I would invite you to do what you are supposed to do. | ||
And that means you put the state first. | ||
Stop judging me because you don't know me. | ||
And instead, look at the work. | ||
Look at the amount of crime we've taken down. | ||
Look at the cases, what we did in June alone. | ||
You know, Operation Apex Hammer. | ||
Look at some of the things that people are covering and stop trying to make me an enemy. | ||
I am not. | ||
I am truly a better friend than they would think if we work together. | ||
I mean, the president always said this. | ||
Could you imagine if politics weren't so divisive and we could actually just work together to come together and take care of a common goal, which is to keep New Jersey safe? | ||
Stop with the noise. | ||
This is not part of your campaign. | ||
Let's get crime off the streets. | ||
Work with me. | ||
They have never even spoken to me ever. | ||
And I reached out a ton of times to both of them and they would not return my call. | ||
And the only time Corey Booker responded was an hour after my vote. | ||
And then he canceled it anyway. | ||
So I really invite them. | ||
I am a force. | ||
I know that. | ||
But join with me and let's get cleaned up. | ||
Let's do the right thing. | ||
That's what my message would be. | ||
It's not one of hatred. | ||
I have no hatred in my heart. | ||
For me, it's let's work together. | ||
I've been begging them to do it. | ||
I think we should do it. | ||
And if we did, we could do amazing things. | ||
Just one quick follow-up on that. | ||
Since you brought it up, working with Democrats, you have sued the state of New Jersey, I believe. | ||
And we've been talking about that on this program over the voter rolls and having safe and secure elections, something that I think everybody agrees is a 90-10 issue, cleaning up your voter rolls, voter ID. | ||
Can you give us a quick update on the security of elections in the state of New Jersey? | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
I created an election integrity task force, which again, you can interpret it however you want, but that we should not have dead people voting. | ||
We should not have people voting that shouldn't be. | ||
It's something that I think should be rolled out. | ||
And I know that we have had a lot of back in action and get them working on election integrity, which means that people that are supposed to vote vote, people that aren't don't. | ||
We don't have dead people voting so that we can clean up. | ||
And it's really something we should have in this country, generally speaking. | ||
I think it's very important. | ||
Very. | ||
People need to feel like their votes count and people need to feel like they're not being outvoted by dead people or multiple ballots or that's just not, that's part of the federal government's job is to make sure that we're safe, secure, and that we're following the laws. | ||
So I think that's an important part of it. | ||
But like I said, it's there hand in hand with violent crime and everything else we're focused on. | ||
It's so refreshing to hear. | ||
Godspeed U.S. Attorney Alina Haba for the state of New Jersey. | ||
Congratulations, everybody. | ||
Go follow here. | ||
She's got 100,000 followers here on her official account there. | ||

What a fascinating series of unique guests today. | ||
And, well, it's always our honor to bring you the news, bringing you the news, of course, with our friends at Patriot Mobile. | ||
Patriot Mobile, keeping us connected on the road. | ||
Sometimes we are doing hits like Alina was from her phone right there. | ||
And that's just what happened. | ||
She did have, I think she maybe perhaps had a call and went on mute for a second. | ||
Some of our commenters saying, yeah, I'd watch her on mute. | ||
Okay. | ||
There you go. | ||
Just pop it up. | ||
I mean, why not? | ||
Good for you. | ||
You know, good for you. | ||
That's right. | ||
Good for you. | ||
I'd watch her on mute. | ||
You know what? | ||
Alina Haba is one of those individuals who've been such a friend of the program and has been able to pop on the show and deliver for us and for the president in so many capacity. | ||
I know she obviously can't be political in her role, but we don't have any such restrictions, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
She's always been fighting and she's been joining our show from all around the world. | ||
I mean, she's like in whether it's Georgia, Manhattan, New York, D.C., she'll be out there giving this defense of President Trump. | ||
Sometimes it's just her alone on the steps of the court in the darkest days, the darkest days, her speaking on behalf of President Trump. | ||
And then she'd hop on, whether it's in the back of a car or wherever, you know, in an apartment, and she'd like, she'd like tell this audience what happened. | ||
She's always cared about you. | ||
And ladies and gentlemen, she's always been able to connect with us even when we're on the road. | ||
We're using Patriot Mobile as the backbone of that connection, the backbone of how we deliver information to you. | ||

So we played this clip just ever so slightly at the beginning of the show. | ||
It happened to be a mislabeled clip, but it was about how the Biden chief of staff is cooperating with the House about the cover-up of Joe Biden. | ||
This is unique. | ||
I don't know if I believe it, but let's see the reporting here. | ||
It's Ron Clain. | ||
He tells the House that he was not, that Joe Biden was deemed not politically viable by Hillary Clinton. | ||
All right, here we go. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, a source says former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain even testified that by last year, Hillary Clinton and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told him they were concerned about Joe Biden's chances in the presidential election, that he may not have been politically viable. | |
That's according to a source familiar with Klain's voluntary interview, who also said Sullivan told Klain that Biden was less effective in 2024 compared to 22. | ||
A spokesperson for Sullivan says he never spoke with Klain about Biden running again before the debate and also disputed the account of Klain's testimony before the committee. | ||
This is all part of the House Oversight Committee's investigation of then President Biden's use of the auto pen. | ||
Republicans have accused Biden and family members, Biden's staff and family members, of possibly signing documents for a diminished president without his awareness. | ||
We've had, you know, we're about 50-50 with the Biden inner circle answering questions, and I certainly appreciate the ones that are coming in and answering questions. | ||
So far, Ron Klain has done that. | ||
unidentified
|
Klain is the latest of several Biden staffers to appear before the committee. | |
Others like Biden's Dr. Kevin O'Connor, assistant Annie Tomasini, and Jill Biden advisor Anthony Bernal all took the Fifth Amendment. | ||
Democrats highlighted that Klain was cooperative. | ||
There are times where he was asked about personal conversations he had with the president, and he was forthcoming, even if he could have said it was a private matter. | ||
So it was a I really appreciate his candor in the comprehensive way he answered every question. | ||
unidentified
|
Klain also responded to a recent explanation from Hunter Biden that his father performed so poorly in last year's presidential debate because he took Ambien while traveling. | |
A source familiar with Klain's interview says Klain told investigators that the president appeared tired and ill before that debate, but said he had no knowledge of Biden taking Ambien. | ||
Over the next two months, Biden press staff Ian Sams, Anita Dunn, Andrew Bates, and Karine Jean-Pierre are scheduled for interviews with the committee. | ||
So are former Biden chief of staff Jeff Ziance, Counselor Steve Roschetti, Senior Advisor Mike Donnellin, and Deputy Chief of Staff Bruce Reed. | ||
All right. | ||
You know, it's a James Comer investigation. | ||
They're going to be really thorough. | ||
Jamie Comer, friend of the show, we'll invite him back on and get some answers to all this. | ||
Obviously, there are a lot of things brewing. | ||
President Trump's off to Scotland, actually. | ||
He's already on the plane and out of here. | ||
President Trump will be in Scotland. | ||
He'll be meeting and doing a ton of different things there throughout the weekend. | ||
I'm sure it will be wildly entertaining. | ||
Check our channels for updates. | ||
And ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Ask Benny. | ||
Let's freaking go. | ||
unidentified
|
Outro Music. | |
All right, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Timothy Zenner. | ||
Zer, Zahar. | ||
Timothy Zahar. | ||
Would you be in support of deporting the illegal immigrants, illegals, including criminals, like Omar Garcia, going through Alligator Alcatraz? | ||
unidentified
|
Kilmar? | |
Yeah, Kilmar Garcia. | ||
Yes, but yes, of course. | ||
Listen, Alligator Alcatraz is a marketing. | ||
It's a marketing scheme. | ||
It's meant to be a deterrence. | ||
That's the point. | ||
You don't want to be there. | ||
It's worse than where you came from. | ||
No matter where you are, it's worse. | ||
You don't want to be there. | ||
You don't want to be banned from ever coming back to America. | ||
So yes, that's the point. | ||
The point of it is like, do you understand by everybody talking more about alligator alcatra? | ||
They're doing the work for us. | ||
So please keep talking about alligator alcatraz. | ||
It's why we do. | ||
It's supposed to be deterrence that helps you self-deport. | ||
And that's why it's on an airport runway, actually. | ||
We tried to fly in there. | ||
It's on an airport runway. | ||
Okay? | ||
And the first thing they tell you is you can self-deport. | ||
In fact, I think the American taxpayer will pay you to self-deport. | ||
Good. | ||
John Stettin asking, do you think it's possible for a D.C. grand jury to actually indict Democrat, especially Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton? | ||
0% chance. | ||
But it's why you can get very creative in where you bring these charges and in where is their standing. | ||
It's probably why Barack Obama kept a mansion in D.C., actually, when you think about it. | ||
Why did Barack Obama keep his D.C. mansion so that any crimes that he committed there would have to be charged in D.C. where he knows that he could rig the jewelry pool, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Can you interview Kevin Spacey? | ||
Juice Griffin. | ||
Yeah, of course we can. | ||
Yes. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
By the way, I don't mean to be a doomer on the Obama question. | ||
You can district shop, and they do this all the time. | ||
You know, it'd be very easy to argue that the Russiagate, that the Russiagate scam hurt President Trump in a district in Florida where he lives, that it was violative to Donald Trump since the entire world in a digital age was able to consume this hoax, that it destroyed President Trump in his domicile in Florida, and so then bring it in Florida. | ||
I mean, you can get creative on things like this. | ||
I'm no lawyer or attorney, but plenty of them come on and talk about it. | ||
Where you bring the charges is critical, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Can you interview Kevin Spacey? | ||
Absolutely. | ||
Totally. | ||
I would love to. | ||
Maybe that's the next thing we're going to reach out for. | ||
You told us to go to do a deep dive on Jasmine Crockett. | ||
Know that that is in the process right now and will probably be executed next week. | ||
So that's going to be really fun. | ||
Go do the deep dive on Jasmine Crockett. | ||
If we're off a couple days next week, you know where we're at. | ||
We listen to the chat. | ||
We listen to you. | ||
We want to be the premier show that is locked in with our audience. | ||
And we just cannot tell you enough, especially a week like this week that has been wildly tough. | ||
How else to say? | ||
There's just been a lot of breaking news at all, like at all times of the day. | ||
We try and lock in and we try and make sure that we are completely able to be accessible for news and information. | ||
We throw ourselves into this and we're going to leave it all in the field. | ||
It's just been a great and humbling week. | ||
We've been excited to be able to do this job and we're excited to do it every single week. | ||
Yesterday we went to Hulk Hogan's restaurant in Clearwater, Florida, and just a quick update for you so that we can bring you kind of what is our responsibility to bring you information outside of the studio when we can and to do original reporting like we're going to do hopefully next week. | ||
First off, the restaurant was just completely packed and it was awesome to see a lot of like positive, great energy. | ||
We're going to be releasing hopefully today, Klein. | ||
Yes, today. | ||
More of our interviews. | ||
But there's one that just had that was just profound and was the first time that I got emotional interviewing anyone. | ||
And it was this man. | ||
It was a sweet working class man who said that Hulk Hogan saved my daughter's life. | ||
And I want to play you just a little bit of this interview right now. | ||
A testament to who Hulk Hogan actually was. | ||
Here we go. | ||
Just tell us what Hulk Hogan meant to you, sir. | ||
unidentified
|
What Hulk Hogan meant to me? | |
Yes, yes. | ||
unidentified
|
He saved my daughter's life. | |
He did? | ||
Yeah. | ||
You didn't know the Hulk unless you knew the Hulk. | ||
The Hulk Hogan had a heart of gold and gave a new meaning of taking her shirt off his back. | ||
That man saved my daughter's life about a year ago, and I can never repay him for it now. | ||
Can you explain that? | ||
How did that happen? | ||
unidentified
|
My daughter got a very rare disease when she was in Mexico. | |
And for two years, she fought that battle. | ||
And she finally overcame it. | ||
She had called me up. | ||
She said, Dad, I need to come see you. | ||
So I sent for a plane ticket. | ||
She came down here for two weeks. | ||
We came here. | ||
And she said, you know... | ||
I'd really like to meet that man. | ||
So I called him up. | ||
And he walked right through this, right between these two buildings. | ||
And he walked with my daughter hand in hand. | ||
And he gave her hope and faith that she could overcome and survive. | ||
That was the Hulk. | ||
That's what that man did. | ||
He didn't know her from Adam, but he knew she was hurting. | ||
And he walked that beach with her for hours and gave her hope. | ||
And words of encouragement. | ||
He saved my daughter's life. | ||
And that man, I love that man more than anything in the world. | ||
He was more than what this world knew. | ||
And he kept a lot of that to himself. | ||
For good reasons. | ||
But those who knew him, knew how his heart was made of gold. | ||
If you didn't know him, you didn't know how true that man was. | ||
And how much he loved his fans. | ||
and how much you really f***ing cared. | ||
What is your message to his family? | ||
his children, his wife. | ||

|
His children? | |
They know he was the greatest man. | ||
I love you. | ||
My heart's with you. | ||
My heart goes out with you. | ||
I send you all my prayers. | ||
If there's anything you need, you call Steve and we'll be there for you. | ||
Your final message to Hulk Hogan. | ||
unidentified
|
What is your message to the man himself? | |
I'm gonna miss you brother. | ||
Thank you for saving my daughter's life. | ||
Thank you for being my friend. | ||
Thank you for blessing me. | ||
Thank you for giving me just a chance to be equal with you. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
There's a lot of celebrities, a lot of people that have lived famous lives. | ||
You really can tell what kind of life you lived by what people say about you after you're gone. | ||
And that's actually the great assessment. | ||
And that man really summed up who Hulk Hogan was. | ||
It's heartbreaking. | ||
And as our clips now have gone viral, it's our honor to bring that man's story to people's love. | ||
We've gotten an enormous amount of outreach from people now emailing us saying that they have another Hulk Hogan story. | ||
I've got hundreds of them in my email inbox right now, of people with their own Hulk Hogan stories. | ||
What a humble servant he was to his fans and to regular Americans. | ||
Some of them are working class, some of them are struggling. | ||
Stories about Hulk Hogan paying people's bills, giving people the shirt literally off his back. | ||
What a great man. | ||
It was our honor to celebrate him, and probably a great note to send everyone off into the weekend to live a life like that man. | ||
A real American, a great American, somebody who served his country, and was unashamed of how powerful and how great this place was. | ||
In fact, he embodied it. | ||
It's really neat to go out there today. | ||
We'll have more to come from those interviews. | ||
They were really neat, really cool. | ||
John 832. | ||
And you shall know the truth. | ||
And the truth shall make you free. | ||
We know the truth in this program. | ||
We march together. | ||
And we went every weekend against the greatest country on earth. | ||

Jeffrey showed my face up against this glass. | ||
Cigarettes, razor blades, sex. | ||
It was terrifying. | ||
It makes sense that they would have haunted me because it's all true. | ||
But of course, nobody believes it. | ||
And nobody ever will. | ||
Because that's how good we are at making things disappear. | ||
