Speaker Time Text

In just a few hours, former Senior Deputy Press Secretary for President Biden Andrew Bates will appear before the House Oversight Committee for a closed-door meeting.
It's part of a probe into the alleged cover-up of former President Biden's decline.
11 officials have testified so far.
Former White House Press Secretary Corrine Jean-Pierre and former Chief of Staff Jeff Zines are also slated to be questioned this month.
todd piro
And concerns growing after former President Biden was seen with a giant bandage on his head while leaving church in Delaware over Labor Day weekend.
A spokesperson confirming that Biden had Mohs surgery to treat skin cancer.
This, of course, coming just months after it was revealed the 82-year-old was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer, which has already spread to his bones.
unidentified
Jesus Christ.
So let's just dive in, shall we?
Oh-ho!
benny johnson
Well, I guess it's almost Halloween, right?
I guess it's only a month or two away from spooky season, or we currently are in that season right now.
And so maybe it's time for shorts and colds like that as a horrifying Jerry Chase giving you.
So I was like, okay.
All right.
Got the jump scare.
Got us ready to rock and roll.
unidentified
It's free for all Friday.
Yes.
benny johnson
We made it, ladies and gentlemen.
We have made it to the end of the week.
And we have some very, very good news for you.
We have a stacked and locked and loaded show.
We're going to have a lot of fun on this show.
It's going to be a blast today, Friday, September 5th, 2025.
Where does the time go?
Boom.
Since summer's done.
Boom.
Summer's done.
What did we do this summer?
unidentified
What did we do?
benny johnson
Well, I sat in the studio all summer.
So what did you do this?
I didn't go to the beach with my family.
What did you do this summer?
We were here.
It felt like my entire summer was the summer of Epstein.
That's it.
That's all I did this summer.
unidentified
That's all I did was do all we did was Epstein.
benny johnson
That's it.
And now, oh boy, what an absolute and total, what a total zombie nightmare that story has become.
We'll talk about it a little bit on the program today.
Biden undergoes new dangerous surgery on his face, is unrecognizable.
Biden was the man that they wanted to put in charge of the country right now.
We were supposed to, it was supposed to be Joe Biden's second term right now.
Never forget that that is what they wanted for you.
They wanted a physical corpse to be in charge.
Jimmy Kimmel deporting himself.
Oh my.
Jimmy Kimmel finally hits back at the rumors that he's fleeing to Italy with, well, fleeing to Italy?
Yeah, okay.
We'll see, ladies and gentlemen.
What do you think?
I mean, where should Jimmy go?
Senator Eric Schmidt will join the program.
Nerd Roddick will join the program.
And Jeremy from The Quartering will join the program today.
My name is Benny Johnson, and this is the Benny Show.
Okay, let's lock in.
Just an important note for you that no matter where you're going in life and no matter what you're doing in life, whether you are a nation state.
Whether you are a household, you have to run your household the same way.
No debt.
Debt is bad.
Don't be in debt.
Debt is modern day slavery.
Debt is modern day slavery.
It's servitude.
Do your very best to buy what you can and to live your income.
But the problem is that the people who are living on an income four or five years ago, we know this, we've seen this in my family, that the skyrocketing prices of absolutely everything from gas, groceries has crippled the capacity to keep up.
Wages have not followed in the trends of inflation.
And as corrupted, diseased, and broken politicians, we're going to be talking about a number of them here today on the show, decided to vote themselves great riches out of our treasury on their way to the graveyard.
Well, it's left the rest of us with the bill.
These mounting charges can really add up and it can get you caught in credit card debt.
My friends at American Financing can get you out.
A no obligation 10 minute call to salary-based mortgage consultant will help unlock the ability for you to seize the American dream and get out of debt and get out of debt fast now.
Don't wait.
Call American Financing at 888-528-1219.
That's 888-528-1219.
AmericanFinancing.net slash Benny.
Okay, so let's rock and roll with Joe Biden.
I want to start, I guess, with a couple of things.
I mean, let's go on a positive note because I want to end this week on a positive note.
It started on like a scorched earth week, and we've had like an exciting ability to scorch the earth with a couple of libs this week, including the New York Times, Geraldo, and Chris Cuomo last night.
It's been a great week.
Let's see.
What do we take down this week?
The New York Times, Geraldo, Chris Cuomo, and Piers Morgan.
That's our scorched earth week for us.
That's been a blast, actually.
And we just want to say thank you.
Shout out to the chat.
Nothing but good energy and good vibes right here.
It is our honor to fight for you and with you.
And imagine waking up every morning, you're a lib, and you got to go into the Department of Labor, which is the libbiest of lib places in Washington, D.C.
It's a hideous building, by the way.
The Department of Labor is a grotesque building.
It's like this brutalist, giant cement block.
It just, it looks like a cinder block like thrown to the side on a construction site.
It's just an awful, awful building.
It needs to be demolished.
All of this old brutalist socialist architecture that was brought in to scar the face of our nation's capital during the Jimmy Carter communist era, all of it needs to be demolished.
All of it needs the wrecking ball.
DOL is absolutely top of the list.
HUD, also one of them, Department of Energy.
They all look like just giant cement bricks.
They're hideous.
The FBI building, you ever seen that thing?
It is grotesque.
Anyway, the point is that we got to rid ourselves of this nightmare.
And probably the easiest way to do it would be to put up banners like this.
We haven't been able to cover this this week, but it's my favorite story probably this entire week.
Here is the banner.
And guys, I need the outside of the building, please.
Producers, grab, grab, grab, grab, grab, wrap, quick, quick, quick, quick.
The outside of the building.
So the Trump administration put up a giant Donald Trump banner outside of the Department of Labor.
And from the inside of the Department of Labor, what it looks like is this.
And so there's these Department of Labor communists that have to go to work every day and like walk with their little like vegan lunch boxes past President Trump's eyes.
According to reports, yeah, there is a, there are people that are threatening to leave, which would be an awesome result.
It would be a, this is the outside of the building.
It'd be this, so there you go.
America first is the outside of the Department of Labor.
There are employees.
So there you go.
Cool.
So you got Teddy Roosevelt there and Donald Trump.
So there are employees that are threatening to walk off the job because they have to walk through the Department of Labor and look at this.
See President Trump's eyes glaring at them.
Now, this would be a really exciting result and in line with other incredible trends.
Again, what would you, we should climb, we should put something like that up right behind me.
What, like, what, can you, can you zoom out?
Can we show the whole studio?
Look at this studio.
Look at this.
Look at look at all this area.
We could do this area.
We could have the giant eyes, the eye of the eye of Donron, like looking directly at us.
Gary from Nerderotic will be on the show.
He's a Lord of the Rings expert.
So maybe we'll ask about that.
So he's like, we could do it.
We could do it here.
We just replaced the wall.
Anyway, I'll get close to the mic.
Here we go.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I know.
benny johnson
Everyone yells at me.
I get too far away from that.
So that's fun.
That's in line with the other best news of the week.
We're going to do cheers.
It's free for all Friday.
We're just going to let her rip.
Ladies and gentlemen, 100,000 feds have been fired under President Trump's watch.
Check this out.
Check this report out.
The federal government has lost a stunning 97,000 jobs since President Trump took office.
It's amazing.
Go ahead and source this report, producers.
Make sure that we know.
Here you go, guys.
I just load my window.
There you go.
Pop my window up.
unidentified
There you go.
benny johnson
Thank you.
97,000 jobs.
They aren't jobs, by the way.
This is a welfare program for the most dysgenic, laziest, slobbiest, most obese and privileged class of people you've seen.
I know it.
Oh, that's a good one right there.
There you go.
Thank you very much, producers.
Government employment.
Would you look at that?
Is this from the Washington Examiner?
Thank you.
Okay, great.
Is that in the chat?
Yes, Ambassador.
Thank you guys.
Washington Examiner.
Would you look at this?
The government employment fell by 15,000 in just August alone.
Now it's down.
I think you could round up to 100,000 from 97,000 since Trump came into office.
Look at you, boy.
Just cratering.
I'd love to see this trend line sort of extrapolated out.
Let's check in on the article and see if they do that.
See sort of what.
Oh, there it is.
Okay.
So the top line article.
Thank you.
So just scroll up.
Oh, that's not federal jobs.
unidentified
Okay.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Got it.
benny johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, okay.
Key facts and figures.
So this is an article talking about the economic, the economic jobs and how they need to add more jobs and how the economy obviously is going through a major time of transition.
And that's going to happen.
It's very much like getting over a disease.
It's very much like when you are recovering from a disease, when you have open heart surgery, you can't just go out and go skydiving the next day.
You've got to recover.
And we have had decades of obese and slavish federal corrupt spending, debt spending, horrible policies that are not based in science, that are not based in fact, that are not based in reality.
Something that we brought, by the way, to Geraldo.
I'll play you those clips in just a second.
We had a really fun spar with Geraldo yesterday.
It's going viral right now.
And then we sparred with Chris Cuomo last night.
I'll play you that as well.
So we, you know, it's like, this is what we're doing.
We're fighting for reality.
And the reality is that the federal government doesn't really provide any services.
It doesn't create any jobs.
I hate it when, I hate it when people like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are like, we created jobs.
You created nothing.
No.
Federal government does not, does not need 3 million workers.
The federal government is the largest employer in the world.
3 million workers for the U.S. federal government?
No.
Cut it and cut it to the bone.
So it's a freaking, it's a great one.
unidentified
There you go.
benny johnson
Okay.
I was sharing the script.
unidentified
All right.
benny johnson
Well, ladies and gentlemen, all good things, all good signs, all good, good directionality.
Okay.
Let's rock and roll.
Back to the program.
Thank you very much, Killer Klein.
By the way, oh, the eye of, so we have the eye of Caclon.
unidentified
There we go.
benny johnson
There it is.
So just to just propose absolutely nothing.
We were on with Geraldo and Piers Morgan.
And this is a clip that's going viral right now.
It's a clip of me asking some pretty basic questions.
Geraldo was losing his damn mind about ICE and was talking about how ICE is going and rounding up all these innocent people and how evil that is.
Well, I asked, okay, well, obviously you can't just like take millions of innocent people off the streets and that's illegal.
There must have been something wrong with them.
What was wrong with them, Geraldo?
unidentified
There you go.
benny johnson
Thank you, boys.
And Geraldo said, well, they did commit a crime.
The crime was only coming here illegally.
And so that led to the obvious question, which is, what is the definition of illegal Geraldo?
And the result was pretty exciting.
Boys, let's go.
All right.
Well, unfortunate.
Here we go.
All right.
Oh, boy.
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
Never mind.
The production team.
Very rare production team L. All right.
I guess we're going to have to wait for this to download and load.
That's all right.
Moving on.
Or actually, no, I guess we'll do our own version of just like sit and wait because I can't actually.
unidentified
Yeah, there you go.
Okay.
benny johnson
Here comes Killer Klein.
Here we go, guys.
All right.
Here we go.
This is the clip that's going viral on the page yesterday.
And since it's free-for-all Friday, we just thought we'd let it rip.
Let's rock and roll.
Geraldo destroyed.
You know, you kind of feel bad because he's in his 80s, but you want him to just be with it.
You want to be able to have a good debate.
But this was not a great debate.
unidentified
Here we go.
benny johnson
What do you mean by they're not criminal aliens?
Are you saying that they came here legally or illegally?
unidentified
Which is the only crime the vast majority of these people have committed is coming here illegally.
That's the only crime.
benny johnson
That makes sense.
They're not trendy agua.
unidentified
They're not MS-13, the vast majority of them.
They commit fewer crimes than citizens do.
And so, Dan, do you understand this?
benny johnson
Respectfully, do you understand?
I understand the definition of the definition of the word illegal because you just said they came here illegally.
Do you understand what that means?
That means they broke our laws.
The laws on the books.
Okay.
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's just fun to be able to walk out of this chat and fight for you.
We've been able to do it with Geraldo.
We've been able to do it with the New York Times this week.
And we've been able to do it with Piers Morgan and then Chris Cuomo last night.
And so these are like fun brawls that we have.
And we have them on behalf of this channel and this audience.
The reason we're booked is because of this audience.
We're booked because of this movement that we're building right here.
It's a movement of truth.
It's a powerful movement.
It's a movement of people that are uniting in order to save their country and do it for their children.
And that is like the whole reason why I fought back against the New York Times.
Now, we're really like happy to have Fox News.
Fox News wrote up, the New York Post wrote up this whole article.
Guys, grab those, please.
Fox News, New York Post wrote this all up.
Like the New York Times got destroyed by us this week.
They came after us under the wrong premise.
And that premise was that we don't deserve sympathy when horrible crime that is begotten by left-wing policies is visited upon my family.
This is the same group of people that have danced in the street when President Trump was shot in the head.
This is the same group of people that pray for Trump's death when he was golfing with his granddaughter this last weekend.
This is the same group of people that refused to pray.
They'll pray for Trump's death.
They'll refuse to pray for the children that were slaughtered in Minneapolis.
I don't really know what to call this other than demonic, dehumanizing, and evil.
This is the New York Post one.
Get me the Fox News one right away, please.
Thank you.
Okay, thank you.
Here we go.
Let's just do this one.
But we appreciate, and we just want to take a moment on the show to like shout out.
Like, we appreciate our boys holding it down for us.
You know, Fox News, New York Post, and then also our threat against the New York Times went viral.
Grab that.
Our threat against the New York Times went like went thermonuclear.
Hey, Alex, you can see where I'm going here.
So just like pre-load everything because I'm going to get to this point about Joe Biden.
Because this is what I want to get to about Joe Biden.
And this is, this is, we've had a busy morning.
It's been fun and rushed.
Is that you can't lose your humanity in this kind of stuff?
Because then if you've lost your humanity, you've lost your whole premise of what we're building here.
And again, this isn't for us to pat ourselves on the back.
I don't want to have to do this show as some type of like introspective, like self-searching.
Nobody needs that.
Nobody needs anyone to say, I, me, me, mine anymore.
And nobody needs some, someone is, you know, more navel-gazing in this industry.
I only say it on behalf of the greater overall trend, which is I am fighting for America first.
That means I put Americans first.
That means I put you first.
I put the city of Washington, D.C. first.
I put my American children first.
And I build up my country.
I want it to be a safe country.
That is your birthright.
It's the birthright of my children when they were living next to this.
This is what happened.
This is the trap house in my neighborhood that shares a wall with my house.
And right there is my kid's nursery right there with the flames.
Right there.
And so no kid should live like this, not just mine.
It's not like about a conservative influence or anything.
It's like no kid should have to live like that.
No kid should be burned alive in a fire.
Like, how is that controversial?
The New York Times decided that my family wasn't threatened enough in the flames.
Just a reminder, my infant child was in the house right there.
You can see it.
You can see her room in this photo.
Is that permissible for you?
My six-month-old, you could see her room.
You can see the window of her room.
unidentified
Zoom.
benny johnson
You can see the window of her room in this photograph.
Is that permissible to you as a parent, grandparent, or wannabe parent?
The New York Times premise of their article was that my kids weren't in a deadly enough fire.
They literally texted me.
There's no way you can prove that your kids were in danger.
They text me that.
New York Times reporter texted me.
You know, there's no way you can confirm your kids were in danger.
unidentified
Flip.
benny johnson
That's my kids' room.
And that's the New York Times.
The New York Times reporter is like, you can't prove, you know, like Donald Trump's a hoax.
You hear that even now.
Donald Trump shooting, getting shot in the head was a hoax.
There is a godless inhumanity to these people.
And I'm going to rail against it.
And we just want to thank Fox News for having us on to do that yesterday.
We want to thank Chris Cuomo, who had us on yesterday to talk about it.
You know, going, like lighting Geraldo's mustache on fire was just like, I just did that for fun.
But we also talked about that.
We talked about ICE agents and why ICE agents have to wear masks because their families are under threat because they're fighting narco-terrorists.
Like, can't you have some humanity?
Right before I was on with Raldo, Tom Holman was on there saying, I can't even live with my family anymore.
Tom Holman saying, I can't live with my family.
There are so many credible threats against me and my children.
I can't live with my family anymore.
And so that's what I want to talk about.
I mean, we're going to get to the whole Joe Biden health news, but this has been a week of saying, what side are you on?
Which side are you on?
I don't care who you, if you were Joe Biden, I think Joe Biden like all but wrecked the country.
I think that my children's children will have to suffer for what the damage that that degenerate corpse did in like four years.
And I say degenerate corpse, not because I want anything bad to happen to him, but like, dude, I'm going to show you photos.
I mean, he just, he look, you look, guy looks like he's in a morgue.
He has for a long time.
They've clearly, they all lied, obviously, about Joe Biden's health.
Never once on this program, not in the history of this show, have I ever wished anything bad to Joe Biden or his family?
Have I ever wished any physical harm on them?
We've covered the health problems because like, frankly, that's my job.
But I didn't ever wish anything bad.
In fact, I'm the best friend Joe Biden's ever had.
If he'd listened to me, if I had been in charge, if I'd been Jill walking around the old bedazzled trash bags that Joe Biden wears, if he'd have listened to me, he'd be good because Joe Biden years ago would be in a home where he belongs, getting the care that he deserves.
You know, guy's got terminal cancer.
Stage five metastasized to the bone.
You know what that is?
A death sentence.
I'm sorry.
That just is what it is.
We're going to live in reality on the show.
unidentified
We're going to say what's true.
benny johnson
It's child.
Yeah.
No, it's not transitioning.
It's child mutilation.
Okay.
We did an entire show about RFK yesterday.
We were talking about real health realities that RFK is addressing and like bringing us back to the gold standard of science.
Yes, we're going to talk about that.
And we're also going to talk about the reality that stage five metastasized prostate cancer to the bone means that you've lost your capacity to create new white blood cells.
That means you're, you're, it's a terminal diagnosis.
You're cooked.
And not throughout all of our coverage, you can't find a single clip of me in the past years wishing ill on Joe Biden.
Yet, here's my family.
The New York Times decided to run this week.
I'm just going to last thing, last time I'm going to mention it.
I decided to run this week that my kids don't deserve sympathy because they aren't dead.
That was the premise of the article.
The premise of the article is that my family wasn't threatened enough, that I exaggerated the threat to my kids.
You know, it was just mass shootings on my block.
There were just murders on my block.
You know, the house was burned to the ground that was next to me.
How can you say that, Benny?
Because I have the photos.
Put up the photo.
I don't know what you want to call this.
No, the house.
Show me the house burned to the ground.
I don't know what you want to call this.
The entire inside's wood.
So the brick outside, you know, the brick didn't collapse in.
The entire inside's wood.
The entire house is gone.
You look in there, it's a cavern.
It's just like a little brick facade on the outside.
So I don't know what you call that.
They're like so upset that I said burned to the ground.
Well, that's what, go look inside the house.
That's what happened.
So I don't know what you want.
They're so like angry.
You know, they're so angry.
They're like, they're angry because a father was like, so their father was so upset that his family was under threat because they defunded their police and things got so terrible.
So anyway, we've savaged them back.
Our post against the New York Times, us flaming the New York Times, how'd that do?
Show me.
Let's go check.
Nearly 5 million views, 21,000 likes, 80,000.
Is that right?
Likes, 21,000 reposts, 4,000 comments.
And by the way, the New York Times is very sad about this, but my daughter was trapped in that house and would have died just like the dogs did.
The dogs that were trapped in the house were much bigger than my six-month-old.
They died from smoke inhalation, the same black smoke that was filling her nursery.
She's alive and well today.
Thriving.
New York Times down bad.
These people are demons.
And I'm going to call it out.
We're going to exercise them on this show.
I have a salt shaker, okay?
I'm sure the demons don't like salt because they're like slugs and they're reptilian.
I don't have any holy water on this program.
But we're going to like call it out.
We're going to exercise demons on this show.
And this is like demonic to wish this on someone's family.
So I don't wish bad on Joe Biden.
I want to show the difference between us and the New York Times.
This is the New York Times article.
He promoted falsehoods.
The falsehoods was that my family was under threat.
They read the article.
That's the falsehood.
He promoted falsehood.
It's the Benny's family wasn't, they're not dead.
They weren't dead enough.
You know, like this, it's like crazy.
It's literally crazy.
The number of reporters that have reached out to me about the premise of this article saying this is the most insane thing they've ever read.
They're goblins, these people.
Anyway, we have truth at our backs and we're proud to fight.
And it's been an absolute honor to fight.
Last night on Chris Cuomo, I did a shout out to my kids who are watching.
Do we have that?
I'm sure we do.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure we do because we sort of summed it up nicely on Chris Cuomo.
If not, then please get guys like the last minute.
But that's the difference.
So don't let yourself become the animals.
Like that's what's really important.
And I'll tell you one thing you will not find on this channel.
We have a lot of people that we don't like.
A lot of people that we feel have wrecked the country and have bad intentions and bad faith about your future and your children's future.
And we fight them and we fight them viciously.
We sometimes go to their districts.
We expose them like we did to AOC or Jasmine Crockett and so on.
One thing we'll never find on this program is us wishing anyone harm.
We want every American to live in peace and to live happily, even if we horribly disagree with you.
And we reserve the right, obviously, to savage you and to destroy you if you're out for the future of our children.
Don't get in our way.
We'll run you over.
The train has no brakes.
But, you know, we're not going to lose our humanity in all of it.
We don't have time to play the whole Chris Cuomo thing, but let's pop this up.
This is just our last little closing commentary to Chris.
He gave me the last word.
And so here's what we did with it.
And also strange unifying moment with Chris Cuomo.
I don't know.
Let's watch.
unidentified
Sure.
benny johnson
Well, if this is the last word and this is the last thing I have to say, it's quite simple.
We've spent an entire week fighting for our family.
I know we didn't get a chance to talk about the New York Times hit job on my family, but I wanted to tell you that you have three brand new viewers today.
And those are my two little oldest girls and my wife who are watching right now.
So I wanted to shout out my daughter Eloise and Juliet and say, you know what?
We love you.
And daddy will always fight for your freedoms and fight for you.
Well, there we go.
Oh, did we not get the Cuomo response afterwards?
unidentified
Come on.
benny johnson
We not get the Cuomo response.
All right, that's fine.
All right.
All right.
Producers, producers.
Producers, producers.
That's right.
We collected.
So it's like, it's like the, so Chris Cuomo afterwards is like, you know what?
It's a weird, it's a weird moment that like, it's a weird moment that you just have to accept that that's the reality in this business.
You just have to accept it.
And it's weird because like I think that he's experienced that is too.
He's experienced that too.
And he's experienced this with his family.
And it was like this, this, this wild unifying moment for unifying moment between me and Cuomo, which I wasn't counting on.
Have you ever seen that meet?
You ever seen that meme where it's like Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage and they're like trying not to shake hands, right?
They're like, they're trying not to shake hands.
That was it.
That was it.
That was the same.
It was the same thing.
And so it was like, yeah, that's right.
That's, that's us and Cuomo.
So there you go.
So a wild week, but something we're never, something we're never going to, something we're never going to wish on anyone, which is pain and suffering for their families.
So with that, why does Joe Biden have a massive scar across his face and his head?
Why?
Exactly.
A giant bandage on his head after having more surgery.
Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Biden had a huge scar across his face.
I want to show you, obviously, photos of that.
This is Joe Biden's scar on his head.
We noticed this the other day and said something's like obviously really bad here.
You can see that right down the top there is another is just a massive scar.
It's probably best to get like some photos so we can zoom in here, boys.
Here's more recent photos from Fox News with the bandages.
There you go.
You can see here kind of the massive bandage, but what you saw at Joe Biden, what you saw with Joe Biden at the church there.
unidentified
And this is, there's some, there's some other, there's, there you go.
benny johnson
Thank you.
Thank you.
What you saw here is just a massive six-inch scar straight through the scalp.
And this is a tough one.
There it is.
And Joe Biden's clearly like combing his hair over to try and cover it.
But now we know what that is.
Now, I had mused on the channel.
We just found out this morning what this actually is.
Given Joe Biden's history, and there is a extensive history of Joe Biden like tripping and falling.
You got the Biden boot.
Give me the Biden boot.
There's an extensive history of Joe Biden tripping and falling.
In fact, like the moment that he was installed as president, Joe Biden was like standing, you know, in the street wearing this boot.
Yeah, it's totally real.
Client's like, is this real?
This is Joe Biden standing in the street with his boot.
This is during his transition because he's going to be the single most popular president of all time.
How is it real?
So he's double masking.
He's wearing this boot.
Yeah, it's weird.
Yeah.
So the story behind this is that Joe Biden was naked in the shower.
I kid you that, okay, I'm obviously prone to colorful language and exaggeration.
All of this is real.
Joe Biden was naked in the shower.
He decided to, as a soapy, naked old man, go chase after his dog to yank his dog's tail.
And Joe Biden fell down and broke his foot over all that.
That was the official story.
So if that's the official story, what was actually happening in that shower?
I don't know.
But given that Joe Biden, this was like Joe Biden six years ago, five years ago, right?
And Joe Biden has deteriorated severely since then.
We assume that massive scar on his head was him tripping, falling, and whacking his head, which is not great, but something that happens with people like Joe Biden in his current condition.
Again, we're not hoping that happens.
It just is something that, you know, you saw Joe Biden's been wearing a hat to try and cover it up.
But in this moment, Joe Biden was going to church.
And so he had his hat off.
And you can see this massive scar on his head.
You can see it in other corresponding videos as well.
And so this is like not great.
The reality of what happened is actually worse than Joe Biden falling, I think, because it's more cancer.
He already has stage five prostate cancer metastasized to the bone.
This is a death sentence.
We don't wish it on anyone.
It just is what it is.
This is the reality.
Former President Joe Biden recently had surgery to treat skin cancer, revelation that comes after worrying photos of the video surface showing 82-year-old with what appeared to be a giant gash on his head.
Biden spokesperson confirmed to Fox News that he had most surgery.
I think I'm pronouncing it correctly.
Most surgery to treat skin cancer.
It's unclear what type of skin cancer he had.
Video featured Inside Edition Thursday showed Biden leaving a church in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on Labor Day weekend.
He had a massive wound on his head.
It was bloody.
Biden also appeared frail in the video as he greeted people outside of the service on Sunday.
Get the other Biden video, please.
Sighting came a day after Biden was seen at the evening local ice cream shot.
He had a baseball hat on his head to cover the wound.
Give me that photo, that video, please.
In late August, Biden was spotted with a giant bandage covering a wound as he attended the funeral Delaware governor Mike Castle.
Mohs surgery is an operation that takes layers of cancerous tissue out to examine them until it's certain that no abnormal cells remain.
In 2023, Joe Biden underwent the same procedure to remove lesions, according one over his right eye.
The latest development as to Biden's health struggles in May, it was revealed that he'd been diagnosed with stage four.
I've been saying stage five.
Okay, stage four prostate cancer spread to his bones.
Cancer touches us all, so on and so forth.
Like so many of you, I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.
I've never understood, like, I've never understood that statement.
It's like a really weird statement.
It's a real strange thing to say.
2023, doctors also removed a basal cell carcinoma from his chest the same year he was declared cancer-free.
But now he has a massive gash from cancer.
unidentified
Okay, so let's play the other clips, please.
benny johnson
So here's Joe Biden leaving the church.
This is going to be Joe Biden leaving the church.
And he just looks incredibly frail.
Okay, yeah.
Next, Joe Biden leaving the church.
unidentified
Again, he just is just incredibly.
benny johnson
Thankfully, he's using the rail there.
Just doesn't look great.
Here he is in the green room.
I'm sorry.
Here he is in the ice cream shop.
unidentified
Well, the whole family.
benny johnson
He's kind of green.
Lime green.
I mean, he just looks tough.
Just looks tough.
He just looks very thin, very frail.
And these evil goblins, one of the most evil people on earth, had decided that they were going to run him.
They were going to take this weak and diseased old man who already had cancer.
Again, you don't have that kind of progression in cancer.
Like randomly, you have it because you covered it up.
You've had cancer for a long time.
Joe Biden's had cancer for about 10 years.
Here he is with the giant gash on his head.
This is probably the closest photo we have of it, the best photo we have of it.
You can see the bloody, the bloody gash or gauze across his skull.
And that family, that evil family of his, to the point of like the evil that we've been fighting all week.
It's inhumane.
The humane thing for Joe Biden would have been to throw him into a home.
It's inhumane.
Instead, they ran this dude again for president.
They already ran him once with terminal cancer.
He did have terminal cancer in 2020 when they were running him again.
They were already running him for power.
And it's the inhumanity.
Would you ever let anybody in your family do this?
Like, it's just total cruelty.
And now, Joe Biden, like you, and then we like, could you imagine knowing that Joe Biden had terminal cancer and then watching him fall flat on his face on a stage or fall ass backwards down the stairs or have the incapacity to like even remember his own son's death and so on?
Like what a cruelty.
The inhumanity of it is just sick.
Something wrong with these people.
And we've been saying that all week.
Look at this.
Imagine watching this.
Imagine watching this.
And you know that you're, you know, that grandpa has cancer, and you're just like watching him in front of the whole world with millions and millions of people just collapsing.
Goodness, incapable of getting up.
We need to really have like a greater discussion about elder abuse and what is Jill Biden guilty of.
It's just terrible.
Anyway, you won't find it here.
It's been a week of fighting for America first for what we know to be an honorable and noble fight up against ignoble enemies like the New York Times and Geraldo, Cuomo, and Piers Morgan.
And so now what we do is we lock in and continue because we've set the boundaries of the argument and we carry forward.

Other really exciting good news before we get to our first guest, who is Senator Schmidt, who unfortunately we had to rebook the senator given a day of just absolute like pile driving and slaughterhouse news.
Jimmy Kimmel, is he leaving?
Like, are you going to say or are you going to go?
Jimmy Kimmel is back.
Not that anyone missed him, but he's back on his show.
And the big news that Jimmy Kimmel made was that he said he's going to flee the country, or at the very least, he was preparing to by getting foreign passports.
Here's Jimmy Kimmel.
And by the way, this would follow in a very good trend of like Rosie has done this.
Ellen DeGeneres has done this.
An entire cavalry of Hollywood celebrities and names that you probably don't know and I don't care to remember have done this.
But Jimmy Kimmel is straight up bragging in this conversation with Sarah Silverman that he's out.
Watch.
sarah silverman
A lot of people I know are thinking about where they can get citizenship.
jimmy kimmel
I do have Italian, I did get Italian citizenship.
sarah silverman
You do?
Oh, that's amazing.
jimmy kimmel
I do have that.
And what's going on is as bad as you thought it was going to be.
sarah silverman
Way worse.
jimmy kimmel
It's so much worse.
It's just unbelievable.
Like, I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be.
sarah silverman
Probably, yeah.
I mean, I do every once in a while, I'll Google Trump regrets or MAGA regrets just to see all the people that I'm not happy that they're upset and that they're, but I'm, I, it, it makes me hope that maybe people will, this will bring people together.
benny johnson
You know what I love about this whole like podcast?
The whole like, let's be authentic sort of social media, social media moment here is that when you let the actual curtain down and you're able to see who these people are, you're able to see just how dumb and stupid they are, how narcissistic and self-involved they are, what their actual priorities are.
It's been horrible for Hollywood.
It's led to the absolute decimation of Hollywood and Jimmy Kimmel is back.
And he's back and he's responding to this because this created quite a, well, headline.
I mean, we certainly ran with it.
So Jimmy Kimmel is sitting there bragging about getting foreign citizenship and fleeing America because of Trump.
So here's Jimmy Kimmel's response to this and to Donald Trump trolling him and saying that he's going to be the next one to get his show canceled.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
Will Jimmy Kimmel move to Italy, please?
jimmy kimmel
The other thing everyone kept asking me about over the summer is if I'm moving to Italy.
Because I mentioned on the Sarah Silverman podcast that I got dual citizenship through my mother, who has Italian citizenship.
And oh man, the MAGA gang went nuts.
unidentified
Late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel confirming he has obtained Italian citizenship.
Jimmy Kimmel is so scared he's drafting an escape plan.
jimmy kimmel
We could see Jimmy Kimmel evidently leave sometime.
unidentified
So he would say chow.
jimmy kimmel
How is he Italian?
There's no way he's Italian.
unidentified
Yeah, I didn't realize he was Italian.
I didn't know he was Italian.
I'm kind of disappointed.
It's like, okay, Italy's great, but also there's not a lot of air conditioning or ice.
So go for it.
benny johnson
Yeah, good luck with that.
jimmy kimmel
Good riddance, dude.
unidentified
Absolutely.
Good riddance.
We can see what life is like over there because we don't want him here.
Or Eva Derci, don't let the door hit you.
sarah silverman
Don't let the door hit you, some may say.
unidentified
Don't let the door hit you.
Don't let the door hit you.
I say, bye-bye.
Bonvoyage.
gary buechler
Are you wishing Jimmy Kimmel a bonvoyage?
unidentified
Oh, hell yeah.
I hope he eats a lot of pasta and gains a lot of weight.
jimmy kimmel
That's going to happen whether I move to Italy or not.
unidentified
I got news for you.
jimmy kimmel
Would that be a negative?
unidentified
Is that a just to be clear?
jimmy kimmel
I'm not moving to Italy.
I never said that.
This is where I live.
This is my country.
I have no intention of running away from it, especially because of Donald Trump.
Let me tell you something.
I would move into Mar-a-Lago if I could, just to drive him insane.
unidentified
Nothing to do.
jimmy kimmel
I've been trying to get Italian citizenship for almost 20 years.
I love Italy.
I like the idea of being a citizen there.
And mostly what I like to do is bring my passport to parties and show it to people and make them jealous.
That's, I mean, does this look like a guy who's moving out of the country?
No.
I am going to stay here and continue to torture my wife with this tank top.
benny johnson
That's a weird flex, bro.
Like you, you jumping up in the air with like bedazzlers and you with like some sketchy little tank top cooking potatoes.
This is, again, if you let them show you who they actually are, these are the most patriotic photos that Jimmy Kimmel could come up with in his Rolodex of photographs.
And the guy is like, gets photographed professionally for a living.
This is the best he's got.
So he's saying he's not going to go to Italy.
He's only going to use his passport to show people at parties?
Why go through the trouble of getting a passport?
Why go through the trouble?
This is like a tough process.
Why do that?
I don't know.
Maybe, just maybe there is a senator who could comment on this for us and who could talk us through exactly what is happening right now since he has to interface on a day-to-day basis with other Democrat senators, some from California that represent Jimmy Kimmel, the great senator Eric Schmidt with a brand new book, The Last Line of Defense, on the show live now.
Senator, what's up, dude?
How you doing?
Oh, wow, Missouri strong.
Okay, great.
eric schmitt
Big game, KU.
We got a big game against KU in Columbia this weekend.
So just dawning the gear, you know, my friend.
benny johnson
So, bro, you're always holding down for the state of Missouri.
There's always something Cardinals, something Mizzou.
eric schmitt
Very proud.
Show me proud, brother.
That's the thing.
unidentified
All right.
benny johnson
Yeah, we saw what you guys did with redistricting.
You guys definitely proud.
eric schmitt
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
They're in a special session right now to do the one extra seat, which is good.
So, all right.
benny johnson
Well, I want to like start.
I want to start with Juan.
You know, what would be your message to Jimmy Kimmel?
It seems like, you know, the woman doth protest too much.
I'm sure he's targeted you on the show before.
You're the favorite golfing buddy of Trump.
So, what's your message?
Like, would you see him in Italy?
eric schmitt
Man, I got to tell you, I think it's just so stupid.
Like, I remember when comedians, and there still are some funny comedians, but like the late night shows, it was about comedy.
And these guys, it's just weird.
It's actually the whole thing is weird.
It's like they're an arm of the DNC, and somehow that became what a late night show was.
And it just turned out, I mean, at least half the country, right?
At least half the country.
I mean, I like music from musicians that maybe like don't agree with me necessarily politically, but comedy is supposed to kind of like cut to the truth and find something that everybody sees, but maybe they didn't say out loud before and you can laugh about.
These guys are just total frauds.
But so I don't know, go or stay, whatever.
It's just not funny.
You know what I mean?
Like, that's just not funny.
None of it's funny.
And Jimmy Kimmel, I don't, maybe he was funny 20 years ago before he got into politics, but he's not funny now.
So just kind of a for lack of a better word.
benny johnson
Oh, you mean when he was doing the man show?
When he was doing blackface, when he did like multiple blackface Carl Malone and Oprah cat shaming sketch, the same sketches that he would cancel someone over today, like he was doing to build his career with young men.
Got it.
eric schmitt
Honestly, I was because I was in the holding or like watching the show before I came in.
He's doing that thing with Sarah Silverman.
You're right.
Like it is totally exposed these people.
The more, the more diffused media has become, it's just kind of eye-opening because you get, it's why I like you doing your show and other shows, like the longer form stuff.
Because if you have any depth, it's actually really good.
You get to like have real conversations about real things that people actually talk about.
It's not like a minute soundbite on something.
And I think the more these people are exposed, they just seem like they're in this bubble, like this really weird Hollywood bubble where everybody thinks exactly like them.
It's always outrageous.
It's Trump derangement syndrome to like the nth degree is really what drives all of this.
He totally busted their brains.
It's just a like people should write books about this.
There would be like psychological studies on how Trump derangement syndrome has affected comedians.
Like it, it's just crazy.
benny johnson
So so I'm like sitting there.
I'm sitting there watching the landscape right now.
And I'm saying, man, there are actually some really unique conversations going on.
I mean, obviously the whole like, has Hollywood gone too far being woke?
Something that we've already won that battle.
That's like they're just in an ash heap.
And it's good to look forward.
And you did that this week at NatCon.
Something that made a lot of news is your speech at the National Conservatism Convention.
And what you asked was, what is an American?
And what does that mean to be an American?
And if we have a heritage, what exactly is that?
And what should make us proud?
And I want to give you a chance to summarize here.
I certainly don't want to do it for you.
But as we pop up a couple of tweets here about your speech, because it really pissed people off, which makes us really excited, actually, about what you said, give you an open floor to describe, like, Senator, what is an American exactly?
eric schmitt
So I think that for a long time, look, there are very important ideas and propositions in our declaration, in our founding documents.
And if you read the federal papers, about it, it was unique that our rights come from God, not from a king.
And government is our shared project to protect those God-given rights, like freedom of speech, the Second Amendment.
That's all true.
But there's also something else that makes a country.
It's the people.
It's our history.
It's our heritage.
It's the stories that we tell about what actually happened.
I mean, this is a great country that settled a continent.
All the great advances, I think, in Western civilization in the last 150 years have come from the United States.
We sent people to the moon.
We've mapped the heavens.
We invented the airplane.
Charles Lindbergh and the Spirit of St. Louis did what most people thought was a suicidal flight across the Atlantic.
We ought to celebrate that stuff.
I think for too long, Benny, there's been people on the left, these elites, who are rootless.
They rule everywhere, but they're from nowhere.
And they don't believe in the country.
They don't believe in a nation state.
And we ought to be very proud of what it means to be an American, our accomplishments.
I think people, I'm tired of people telling us we should apologize for all that.
We ought to be really proud to be an American.
And that's what drove the left nuts in the speech because they're not used to hearing that.
They're not used to people standing up and saying, we're tired of your BS.
It's not 2020 anymore.
We're going to be really proud of our country.
And yes, there are important ideas embodied in those documents.
But think of my ancestors, for example.
They came from Germany in the 1840s.
Missouri was as far west as you could go by way of railroad or steamboat.
They went to the edge of civilization and they hacked the soil.
They cut down the trees.
They removed the stumps with a mule in their bare hands to build something that they wanted their kids and their grandkids to be a part of.
That's what it means to have a country.
That's what it means.
So I think they want to cut all that out because if it's just an idea and they can flip it and make you feel terrible about the people who founded this country, that's how they get a new country.
That's how they undermine the things that we believe in.
And you saw this with, you know, sort of these cultural Marxism experiments with critical race theory and DEI.
You have struggle sessions and everybody has to apologize for this or that.
They had nothing to do with it.
It's just, I think it's time for us to say, you know, what the America First Movement is about, it's about protecting Americans.
We're tired of the elites who sent our jobs overseas and then undercut our wages with low, with low wage illegal immigration.
We're tired of all that.
And I think that's the ascending view, Benny.
And you talk about a lot on your show.
And that was the substance of my speech.
And at the end of the day, I love America.
Like, I'm, I love this country and we ought to be very proud of it.
benny johnson
Well, yeah, like, okay, so answer the question: like, why do we villainize the people who built this nation?
I don't know another country that does that.
I don't know another nation that does that.
There are seasons to each country, but like, if you saw like the Chinese military parade this past weekend, it's like this like literal godlike word.
They don't have a God, right?
So it's like godlike worship of their founders, their founding.
It's all fake, by the way, right?
Like it's all most of it's completely manufactured.
A lot of these countries have to go and create stories.
You know, we rose from a dragon's back in the ocean, you know, whatever garbage.
We don't have to do that.
Like our founding is awesome.
And the people who founded this country are heroes and conquerors and brave, way braver than any person I've ever met.
Like the things that they did.
And why is it that like arts seems to be the only society that self-flagellates over the true heroes that founded this nation?
eric schmitt
It's bizarre.
But again, if you want to undo America, that's what you do.
And I think the real struggle moving forward is Americanism versus globalism.
Like we've had for too long, these elites, these ruling elites have sold out our country because they don't actually believe in borders.
And they don't, it's just about accumulation.
They're much more comfortable in Davos than they are where I grew up in Bridgeton, you know, working class blue collar neighbor.
They neighborhood, they don't have to talk to those people.
But in Davos, they can make plans where other people have to do things.
They have to sacrifice things while they fly around in their private jets and they send, you know, 20 million people to the United States illegally in a four-year period of time, right?
That's their world.
But I think this is a movement where we're saying no to that, that we believe in this country, believe in the founders, we believe in the ideas that were embodied in the Constitution.
But we also believe that the people who came here who built things, we ought to celebrate them.
Like we ought to celebrate that.
And I just think for we've been in this kind of fever dream, and it's time to push back.
And in the book, The Last Line of Defense, How to Beat the Left in Court, your audience can get it on Amazon.
It's a New York Times bestseller, Benny, which is kind of cool.
President Trump recommended it.
JD Vance has got a blurb.
RFK Jr.'s got a blurb.
It's really about standing in the arena and fighting back.
And so whether it was mass mandates in local schools, we fought back.
The vaccine mandate at the federal level, we filed that lawsuit and won.
Missouri brought the student loan debt forgiveness scam and won at the Supreme Court.
We brought the censorship case.
I've talked to you about on this show, even when I was AG, exposed that even before Elon Bus must bought Twitter.
It's a playbook of how we can fight and win.
And what it takes most is courage, right?
And everybody can do that in their own walk of life, whether it's in their neighborhoods, on a city council, the Knights of Columbus, or in the United States Senate.
We all have a role to play because this country is worth fighting for.
benny johnson
So this country is worth fighting for, especially for Americans.
We say America first.
Well, what does that exactly mean, Senator?
What is an American?
eric schmitt
It's that we need to put, we need to, well, what an American is, is that we have this belief that this country is unique.
I believe divinely inspired through our founders to rebel against the king we have embodied.
We have we have rights that are protecting our constitution.
But it is also, it's the people, it's the land, it's our country.
Like when, you know, when people are building this great enterprise or they're inventing something, or like my family who came here to left everything that they knew to go to the edge of the world to build something new, think of the character that's involved in doing that.
Think of the courage it takes to leave everything that you knew and come here and start with nothing.
That's the story of America.
It's the wagon trains that left Missouri to head further west.
It's that kind of, we want to see what's on the other side of the mountain.
We ought to celebrate that.
Instead, what the left has told us is that we should be ashamed of that.
Look, and you talk about Indians on the frontier.
Look, the Indians, they were enslaving and going to war for hundreds of years before we got here.
We had better weapons and better technology, and that was the way it worked, right?
That story is not, I mean, that has played out all over the world, everywhere.
But we settled a continent from shore to shore, from sea to shining sea, and we have a country now that is really worth preserving.
And we can't let the left make everybody feel terrible about everything.
And that the only thing kids know about, about the founding fathers in school right now, is that some of them were slaveholders.
That's what civics has boiled down to at this point in our public schools, in many instances, because they're afraid to talk about how proud you should be that you live in the greatest country in the history of the world.
And I believe that.
And objectively, the things that we can accomplish in many ways, honestly, we're sort of the apex of Western civilization.
We are the vanguard now of what Western civilization means.
And Western civilization is a, you know, I don't know if they teach that anymore in civics class, but is this great march forward for people's individual liberties and their rights?
And again, that's what America is all about.
benny johnson
Yeah, I think that it's fundamentally different from what they're trying to say an immigrant is 250 years out from this country because migrating being an economic migrant to an already developed welfare state is not what the founders of this country did.
And to sit there and try to say it's a one-to-one, right?
So America is a nation built by, you know, built by immigrants.
It's the same as the people that came here 200 years ago.
That's not true, actually.
eric schmitt
Well, the problem too, Benny, the problem too is that what the left has done with that whole idea is to use it as an excuse for mass migration.
Like that to me, the perversion of the idea.
Of course, people came here.
And of course, people who've come here, you know, in the last generation or two are Americans and can be great Americans.
We're not denying that, but the reality is what they've done is they want to remake America by destroying the stories that we tell about ourselves.
And just look at what they did in a four-year period of time when they had it.
You've got COVID.
They shut things down.
In the schools, you couldn't go to school.
You were forced to wear a mask.
Kids were forced to do privilege walks.
You had mass migration where communities are totally overwhelmed by the number and people who don't speak their language and all this stuff that the elites thought was a good idea, just like they thought it was a good idea that in the name of free markets, you could ship the blue-collar jobs overseas.
And by the way, that's what's happening now.
So that slow-moving disaster that destroyed blue-collar economy in this country, now they're doing it with H-1B.
It's being abused.
They're effectively importing folks.
It's not because Americans can't do those high-skilled jobs.
It's because a lot of these elites are bringing them to this country to undercut the wages of the Americans who can do those jobs.
And they have the indignity of having to train their replacements before they get their severance package.
And so those are the kind of things I think we should stand up.
We've got, this is a great country.
We have plenty of people in this country who can do those jobs.
We shouldn't just accept the fact that the elites want to undercut wages with foreign-born labor.
benny johnson
Yeah.
So I'm so glad that you brought this up, given the op that was run yesterday with some conservative influencers that all of them had to apologize and delete their tweets over.
What do you think about the Indian tech sector?
Do you believe that that should be taxed as a tariff if companies are offshoring and taxed and tariffed if companies are offshoring those kind of services?
Because right now they're able to do it effectively for free and replace mass swaths of American workers with no penalties at all from the federal government.
unidentified
Right.
eric schmitt
So this is why it's such a unique time.
And I think what gets lost, Benny, you know, you do your show every day.
I'm doing my thing every day.
Everybody's working.
They got their kids.
They're doing the important things in life.
They're going to church.
They're taking their kids to school.
They're going to baseball games, all that kind of stuff.
But what can get lost, I think, in that 24-hour news cycle and the busyness of our lives is what a unique period of time we're in right now, because we have a president, unlike any president, quite frankly, in my lifetime, that has been willing to challenge the assumptions that have existed, say, at least since the Cold War ended, right?
Let's take three examples of that: crime.
The assumption was that crime was intractable in some of these big cities.
Well, President Trump just proved that in a place like Washington, D.C., that a police presence, a law enforcement presence and real prosecutions goes a long way.
It totally destroys the myth that we've been living with for 10 years, is that you just need a bunch of social workers and people to talk to each other.
No, actually, as a former prosecutor and the Attorney General of Missouri, I can tell you there's no substitute for a law enforcement presence and people thinking that they're actually going to be prosecuted and go away for a long time, right?
So that's one assumption.
Let's take our foreign policy, this sort of Washington consensus of foreign policy, which is everybody likes going to Europe and getting the red carpet rolled out for them.
That has to end, and we have to start telling them the truth, that the Europeans have to step up in a much more meaningful way for their own defense because we've got a real challenge in China.
The 21st century is going to be defined by who wins this great powers competition, the United States of America or communist China.
That's what it boils down to.
So we have to be able to pivot and turn our attention to protecting the homeland and focusing on China.
President Trump is doing that in a way no one else has.
And then finally, on trade, she bring up India.
Like India has been ripping us off for a very, very long time.
They have protected their own industries in a way that you have factories that go there because of the way that they tariff.
Harley Davidson is an example of that because they didn't want to deal with the tariff regime.
So they just moved their factory there.
So India has been playing this game with us for a long time, but we finally have a president now that wants to rebalance trade by saying we're not going to do that anymore.
And one of the things that's part of what India does is they're able to, you know, send over a lot of people through the H-1B program and still rip us off on the other end.
So I think, again, President Trump's taking on these assumptions that no one has wanted to take on because it's not popular in Washington.
You get lampooned for it.
But it's working, like it's working.
And I think gives hope to the Americans who feel like they've been left behind.
benny johnson
So would you be in favor of tariffing the call centers or the H-1B program, like some mass overhalter?
eric schmitt
Yeah, for sure.
I think the H-1B programming has been thoroughly abused.
Look, you could make the argument that we do have a place for the like exceptional, best, brightest, that kind of thing, but it should be very limited.
That is not what's happening at all with H-1B right now.
It's totally being abused.
You have massive numbers.
And what's really happening is, honestly, a lot of companies, there's been stories about it.
They're not bringing in people.
Like the companies currently have Americans that do the job, but they're bringing in H-1B because they're cheaper and more compliant.
And that's the truth.
And we have to get rid of that incentive structure.
And the Americans then who are getting fired, again, to get their severance are having to, you know, in a humiliating way, train their replacement.
And these are jobs that America Americans can do.
And again, so I think that we want to be a place where people want to come to if they've got, you know, these skills that are highly sought after, we have a need.
But that's not what's happening with H-1B at all right now.
It's totally being abused.
benny johnson
Tariff the call centers.
What do you think?
What do you think?
There it is, right on CNN.
CNN losing their mind over this idea.
CNN freaking out over tariff the call centers.
President Trump posting about India and talking about this.
Well, AI.
eric schmitt
I mean, look, AI is going to play a major role in call centers movement.
So, I mean, in one sense, I would make the argument that AI challenges like censorship.
I mean, I think we've got to be very watchful on that.
Some of these big tech companies just tweaking the algorithm to be a censorship machine.
We got to be watchful of that.
The Biden administration, a little story was willing to lock in the monopolies of these big tech companies in exchange for censorship.
And of course, you know, in the last line of defense, how to beat the left in court.
People can get on Amazon right now, Benny, a New York Times bestseller.
President Trump loves it.
We took on these big tech companies and exposed that censorship.
But yeah, I think AI can help bring home advanced manufacturing.
Right?
That's really the key here.
How are we going to empower workers who've been left behind in this country?
Those factories can be here.
And you do it with what President Trump's doing on tariffs and that sort of recalibrating the trade situation so people build their things here.
We have trillions of investment coming that way.
And then also, it won't look like the Ford Assembly plant in the 1960s, but it's going to be something that's good for our country if that stuff's being built here and manufactured here.
One last point.
You have twice as many people now that work in government than they do in manufacturing.
That has to change.
benny johnson
Yeah, I mean, it has changed.
It's actually a wonderful thing.
The best thing we started the show off with it: 100,000 Fed jobs out the door.
That is the single best data point I think I've seen in this entire nascent administration is that there's been 97,000 federal jobs that have been kicked to the curb.
And living in Washington, D.C. and seeing like the quality of the federal workforce, that is a very good thing for this country.
There's no more slovenly or lazy, entitled group of welfare brats than a Fed worker going into HUD every wobbling into HUD every single day in order to like lick rubber stamps.
It's crazy, man.
eric schmitt
Well, Biden, they just, the other thing is, even if you got back to, I mean, really, what they're trying to do is just get back to pre-pandemic level like bureaucrat numbers.
benny johnson
Yeah.
eric schmitt
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, it's crazy because that Biden just blew the doors off by hiring a bunch of these people to bring in to do nothing and not even work from home.
Or not even work in the office, but work from home.
benny johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, a man who works very hard that we have so we have so many other questions to ask you, Senator.
I hope you'll come back next week.
There's a lot going on right now.
Have you ever rescheduling with us?
eric schmitt
Yeah, I love your audience.
I love you.
We help the whole show.
benny johnson
Book the Senate.
Kara, book the Senator for the whole show next week.
Okay.
That's what I want.
I just got to chew some fat.
He's a Midwesterner.
So I just get along with him.
You know what I mean?
He's a Midwesterner.
We just nice.
We're kind of mean, but we're Midwest nice.
eric schmitt
But it's funny because somebody asked me one time, they said, hey, so Missouri, okay, is it a northern state?
Is it a southern state?
Is it a Midwestern state?
Is it a Western state?
And I said, yes.
It's kind of, it's sort of like kind of all those things sometimes.
unidentified
So the great senator from Missouri.
benny johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, Eric Schmidt.
Follow him here.
He's got hundreds of thousands of followers.
And then go ahead and pick up his new book.
There it is on Amazon, a 4.4 and a bestseller.
The last line of defense.
He has beat the left.
Very few people can say that.
Eric Schmidt's one of them.
Thanks, Senator.
eric schmitt
All right, partner.
Take care.
benny johnson
Say it.
unidentified
A partner.
benny johnson
That's cool.
That's cool.
I'll take that.
See you, partner.
It's great.
Is Missouri a southern state?
Let me know.
Fight it out in the chat.
Ladies and gentlemen, something that I don't fight every single day is the opportunity to go home and get cozy with my cozy earth.
Cozy Earth is how we chill at home.
We have high intensity.
We have a high-intensity program.
I'm often banging my fist.
I lost the top of the salt shaker this morning, actually.
We're throwing stuff around.
Sometimes we even throw, sometimes throw things in the studio.
You see me pop bottles in the studio.
You see me rip stuff off the wall live.
Okay.
You have to bring that intensity.
You have to have the power to fight back.
That's what we do around here.
Sorry for the yelling.
But we do.
And it's been a week of like constant attacks.
It's like how it works, by the way, when you like come back from a little break.
It's been a week of constant attacks.
You have to have the energy to fight.
And then when you get home, you got your kids around.
You got to be able to chill.
The bamboo joggers, the everywhere pant.
And ladies and gentlemen, the sheets that I sleep in, all provided by Cozy Earth.
Cozy Earth is a spectacular company that will ensure that if you want to have a fit and comfortable lifestyle, that you are able to do it in peace.
And that is what I have when I go into my home and I lock the door and I say, ah, I'm going to chill with my kids.
The Cozy Earth products, even my kids use them.
And you can find so much on their website, cozyearth.com.
Use the code Benny for 40% off.
The best pants, joggers, shirts, and bed sheets, everything.
It is all natural.
It's bamboo.
It's wonderful.
It feels so great and silky.
And ladies and gentlemen, it is a price that you can get in on.
Get the post-purchase survey.
Tell them that Benny sent you Cozy Earth right now.
It's built for life.
It's made to keep yours very cool, Cozy Earth.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's get cozy with just one of my absolute best friends.
Now, the reason why he's one of my dearest and best friends is because it's aspirational.
I have two guests that are coming up that have been aspirational to me for a very long time.
They both have beards.
They're both internet legends.
We might have to bring them both on at the same time.
I don't even know.
We'll have to bring them both on at the same time.
But I guess we'll start with Jeremy from the quartering.
It's aspirational because I can't grow a beard.
I tried to.
I was on, I was at a, I had a break and I tried to grow a beard, and people kept giving me like orders on the street, kept like feeling sorry for me and thinking that I was homeless.
Just saying, hey, you know, it sucks.
Biden economy, bad for all of us.
So it's bad for me.
So I had to go shave it.
But nonetheless, an aspirational beard and somebody who I've looked up to for a very long time on the YouTube platform because he just has such a great work ethic and such an entertaining way to talk about the news.
Somebody that I watched and followed well before we even started our channel is Jeremy from the quartering.
we go hey Jeremy, okay, so the beard's looking great.
Just had a Midwesterner on the program, Senator Schmidt.
And it's just Midwest nice, man.
It's just Midwest nice.
I know that you and I have had some tit for tats online.
And I think the Midwest thing to do is just to go live together and just have, you know, just have a good old brew ha ha.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah, I think so.
And, you know, I appreciate the opportunity and all the nice things you said too.
And, you know, there's very few people that I think work harder than me.
And when somebody works harder than me, it's it makes me angry and I lash out.
And I really am impressed by your meteoric rise.
And it's really just a result of unrelenting hard work.
I don't know how you do it, but the one thing I do know is: did you know that India grows 40% of the world's mangoes?
I don't, and that the longest river in India is the Genghis.
I just, I just didn't know if you knew that.
I didn't know.
It's a beautiful country, I am told.
benny johnson
That's right.
Are you aware that chopsticks are made in India with bamboo?
What?
Do you know that great happy people of India live in happiness and joy about America?
jeremy thequartering hambly
Why are we tariffing these people?
benny johnson
Yes.
Why?
jeremy thequartering hambly
I love Trump number one.
I don't understand.
benny johnson
Do you know that water in India is maybe slightly browner than this water, but still it is water?
jeremy thequartering hambly
What a great country.
benny johnson
It's so good.
It's so good.
That's amazing.
We need to, do you have a sound?
Do you have a cash register sound effect, Client?
jeremy thequartering hambly
There we go.
benny johnson
That's your bank account and mine from the nation, from Mumbai.
Thank you.
Maybe what's your rupee rate that you got for that?
jeremy thequartering hambly
I don't know what you're talking about.
That was just totally organic.
benny johnson
That's right.
That's exactly right.
What do you mean?
I don't know.
I just want to say that I've sold my car.
I'm going to go by Rickshaw everywhere from now on.
And that I'm, you know, I'm just going to watch.
You know, I just, I just want to just throw down for how much I love great, great leader and dear leader India.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yes.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
Thank you.
There's another one.
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
Fantastic.
Just keep it going.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah.
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
So here's what we're talking about.
Jerry, would you please talk about the drama inside of the conservative ecosystem, ecosphere?
Since you and I had our Bloods versus Chris moment, we were together now.
Yep, since we've had our Bloods versus Chris moment, let us both unite to attack the grifter space.
Explain what happened over the last well, the TLDR.
jeremy thequartering hambly
This is not the first time this has happened.
I believe it was also the same group of people who were caught promoting working for big soda and not promoting it.
Let me be very clear.
I love the Grift.
I support the Grift.
I understand people need to make money.
My issue is when it's an undisclosed ad.
And so yesterday, there was very clearly a coordinated India Good campaign done by mega influencers, many of which I believe are not American citizens.
And the monetization of X has made becoming a mega influence.
I know some of them are for a fact, but the ones that are anonymous, I suspect are not.
But they all said India good.
Why Trump attack India?
Totally organic.
Basically, the exact same tweet, ironically.
And they got caught.
And this is, you know, Gunther Eagleman, DC Draino, Defiant Al's.
That was a hard one.
I always thought that account was above reproach.
Community notes violations, Ryan Fournier.
A lot of people, look, I understand you got bills to pay.
Why don't you sell an ad for, I don't know, delicious coffee brand coffee?
Or maybe you take an ad for Cozy or you take an ad for, you can promote any number of things on X.
And I think everyone would be, yeah, people get a little whatever about it.
But when you're taking money, I don't know if it's, you might know this, but I don't know if it's been connected yet.
But this is clearly some sort of foreign lobby that was like, you know, involved in this.
This may even be, we may be talking about laws being broken.
By the way, I believe that Elon Musk, if you're caught doing this, not only should you lose monetization, but you should lose your blue check mark.
And I just think that that would deter a lot of this.
But, you know, I don't know if he's that interested in that.
benny johnson
It's a violation.
It's a violation of terms of service, but also it's a violation of good faith arguments.
So I have a lot of opinions on Ukraine and Israel and like things that are happening around the country.
And we want to be able to cover them with authenticity and with the veracity that is required of being just like an honest creator.
And when you go on a free Israel trip, free Israel trip that costs you your soul, you know, it's paid for by the government.
jeremy thequartering hambly
There are a few people that did.
They take that tour.
benny johnson
There are so many people that do that.
I had a conversation with, I had a conversation with my attorney.
And full disclosure, when I was like in college, you know, I did one of those tours, right?
It's like, like it's like offer, you can get offered like one of those.
Like you, if you're like a young, aspiring, like political person, you can get offered those to like every country on earth, actually.
Yep.
jeremy thequartering hambly
A few pictures, the South.
jimmy kimmel
Yeah.
benny johnson
Yeah, totally.
The Biden's kid did them to China.
Right.
unidentified
And stuff.
benny johnson
It's a, first off, it's a terrible look.
I had this conversation.
You know, we had this conversation internally because we've been getting offers.
I'm not going to name the countries, but we've been getting like a ton of offers from like random places to go there, you know, and be the guest of the punch, you know, and then get an unofficial ambassador.
Bro, like, first off, not only is it a bad look, okay?
And just a prima facie, it's like a terrible look for you, like to be going and, you know, doing that.
Like, go, go on your own trip.
Like, everyone, you know, if you make money, like pay for your own way, obviously, if you want to go visit a place.
But then, two, there's also some pretty strict FARA violation laws that have been written that really entrapped like the Biden kids over stuff like this.
And if charged, could really lead to some bad results.
So I like to stay completely away from it, right?
I'm like, it's banned entirely.
You'll never find me on one of those things.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Why would you go anywhere?
You're in Florida.
benny johnson
I don't know.
Yeah.
Well, like, I don't, you know, I don't get it.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Like, don't forget the FCC violations too, because you have to disclose an ad.
And so they, as far as I know, none of the people that posted this said that they were paid to post it.
And that's an FCC violation too.
benny johnson
I have my thoughts on India, but like then it discredits everything.
When once anyone finds out that I've been paid to say, like, India, so great, you know, so great, my coffee mug, India, black is the water in India.
You know, thank you.
So the fun effects of the disclosure, Jeremy.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah, that's right.
benny johnson
Sorry for the rant here.
It's just, why put a good thing in jeopardy, you know, by doing that?
And I'm not trying to put anyone on blast here.
All right.
We try our hardest, like, to not do friendly fire.
But just as a cautionary tale, it discredits your authentic opinions about what's going on in the world.
And it's important to have those.
jeremy thequartering hambly
There are so many more ways to monetize a large account.
If Defiant Elles wanted to make money, he could or she could or whatever, you know, I don't know.
And I, you know, any one of these people are taking these ads.
You could, you could post, you could sell your ads.
I don't have a problem with that.
But when you have like the soda lobby, I think it was like that.
I thought I remember marijuana, but I can't remember if that wasn't, but the soda lobby, everyone, the same group of people got caught red-handed.
It's like, guys, like you're supposed to be one of us.
And then like, you never really come back from that.
And I won't, because I'm on your show and I will respect your, we don't put people on blast.
There was a very large conservative account that was astro turf by Elon Musk and everybody else.
And then sure enough, they're selling a crypto scam, crypto coin.
I'm like, why?
unidentified
Why?
jeremy thequartering hambly
You just, you hit the lottery.
You, you got out.
Like, I tell people this all the time.
There will never be another quartering or Benny Johnson, at least in the YouTube space.
Never, never going to happen or Tim Poole because there's no way anyone can now basically break through unless maybe they're AstroTurf.
You hit the lottery.
You have a million followers on X or you have a big YouTube channel.
And you just, you sell out for, I can't imagine they were paid more than a couple of grand.
And like now for the rest of their lives, they're going to be like, is this real or fake?
Or, you know, are you an Indian bot?
Or is this your reputation is completely in the tank for nothing or for a few grand.
It's, it's, it's very short-sighted.
And some of them are calling it a mistake.
I'm like, sorry for the mistake.
You mean you took money from a foreign government or foreign lobby, posted it on disclosure, like, oopsie, it could have happened to any one of us.
benny johnson
The other thing is funny, we had all that RFK stuff yesterday.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah, and he crushed it yesterday.
benny johnson
It's funny that you brought up big soda because that was the, that was the last time that this happened.
It was only like a few months ago.
unidentified
Yeah.
benny johnson
But that is antithetical to what President Trump is trying to do for the health of this country.
You know, the Maha movement, I would argue, is probably as important, if not more important from a philosophical standpoint than the MAGA movement in the sense that you have to be alive to have America.
You know, Americans have to live and be alive.
And Trump and RFK and they're trying to like do their best for the health of this nation.
Like how, how important is the health of your children?
Well, maybe that's the single most important thing in life.
And to like do some big soda thing that cuts directly against the guy we just elected, we worked so hard to get him elected.
And you're like, well, but actually what this was all about was high fructose.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Corner.
Yeah, we need that high fructose.
Well, what's crazy is that outside of Doge in its early days, in my experience, there is little in the MAGA movement that is more universally loved than Maha.
benny johnson
That's right.
jeremy thequartering hambly
And like to go against that would be even like have some business sense.
Like, okay, maybe you want to talk about Trump bombing Iran or something.
Okay, there's at least a divide there.
But like, brothers, you know, everybody wants this stuff out of our food.
We look at Europe, you know, for years, people like, I went on Europe and I lost weight on vacation.
I'm like, yeah, sure, right.
And then you start reading about it and you're like, oh, yeah, they, they probably did because our food is full of garbage.
Our bread, like Wonder Bread is legally classified in Europe as cake because it has so much sugar and everything in it.
And it's like, oh, let's talk about, let's defend big soda.
That was a very, very bad.
benny johnson
But it makes it makes sense if you like, if you're like, well, this is a way to do subterfuge for the movement.
We'll just fund the India thing was they were all going against Trump's decision to tariff India.
Trump decided to tariff India.
jeremy thequartering hambly
But that was universally like that was universal.
benny johnson
Everyone loved it.
Everyone hates the Indian scammers.
I hate it.
There's something in the chat, boys.
Can you put it up?
It's the, this went viral.
Like, how can you be against this?
This dude checked into a hotel in Miami.
I'm sure you covered it, Jeremy.
And he's got like some Indian guy that's just so bad.
Pop it up.
Some Indian dude was checking him in.
And he's, it's like, it's like from India and he's on camera.
And it's like, what the hell is this?
This is what Trump's trying to tariff and put a stop to.
And I don't want this, you know, I don't, this is horrible.
Like, honestly, it's dystopian.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah, I would not.
This is, if anything, I don't know like what pill it is that you take for India because there's like obviously the red pill, the clown.
I'm not sure if it would even be family friendly.
But I'm like all in.
Look, India's chief export is like victimizing our most vulnerable population with call center scams.
Elderly people getting, I mean, they abuse our H1 program.
They abuse our, what's on college one?
F1 or R1?
I don't know.
The college.
So they take jobs from Americans.
They take college positions away from Americans.
And then when they're done with that, they're ripping off the elderly with call center scams.
So I just don't care.
Like, I know that you went out.
I have some strong opinions about H-1B.
I think it should be completely abolished.
benny johnson
Senator was on agreeing with you.
jeremy thequartering hambly
At least give me 20 years of no H-1B.
We have been lied to.
And I pop mini rants.
Sorry, Benny.
But my thing with the H-1B is this.
The American people have been lied to.
Most people thought, well, we're just bringing in a bunch of 140 IQ people that are, you know, brain surgeons and this, that, and the other.
When you really look into it, it's twofold.
One, we are not bringing in a bunch of 140 IQ people.
We're bringing a bunch of 70, 80, 90 IQ people who are willing slaves for American corporations, which I don't appreciate either.
They're like, when their citizenship depends on them having a job, they get to pay them less.
They get to make them work on Independence Day.
They get to make them work Saturday and Sunday because their citizenship depends on the job.
So it's a, it is, it is a bad system that depresses wages in America, period.
And it's literally like paid slavery for a lot of these people.
And we were told that we just can't find.
There have been some popular politicians who had some unpopular takes.
Well, Americans were just too busy watching Save by the Bell.
They can't possibly do the work that these great Indian people were bringing.
And I think people have woken up to that and people are over it.
benny johnson
Yeah, I think people are over it.
I think this black, this black, I'm just going to call it a black pill for lack of the pill.
But here, this black, this black pill people, man.
You know, it's like, it's wild.
Like, at what point does this then overtake all American retail jobs?
At some point, you can scale this out to every American retail job gets taken over by this.
And of course, we saw the murder, the trucker that was engaging here in this state, not too far from where I broadcast in a third world illegal, a horribly illegal action on our roads that led to the killing of three people.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Immigrants.
He killed three immigrants too.
benny johnson
Right.
So it's like, it's like, you know, that makes life not only does life make life miserable because the entry-level jobs that you or I probably worked, you know, I like, I, you know, I know I busted my ass, you know, scrubbing toilets and restaurants.
I watched entry-level jobs.
Yeah.
Those are all going to get, those all get taken by iPads from India, right?
And then what?
And then even like the jobs for people that don't have high school or college degrees, like truckers, those kind of jobs get taken.
And then that becomes incredibly unsafe.
And it's a bad spiral and it needs to be put a stop to it.
jeremy thequartering hambly
There's the Indian labor replacement is the stopgap between automation.
So a lot of these jobs that Indians are taking now will be obsolete because of automation because they keep cutting the costs, cutting costs.
We look at like McDonald's, right?
If you go to a McDonald's in a big city, like there's still people that work at my McDonald's, but like you just order on a thing.
There's like one person behind the counter.
All these, you're going to have to go from like South Park was really right about how like the plumbers and the HVAC people will be the modern millionaires because it's just a job that you really can't outsource and really can't easily replace.
And, you know, entry-level jobs are important.
You learn a lot of skills when you're in high school, cleaning off plates, washing dishes, scrubbing toilets.
You learn the value of a dollar.
Kids nowadays are growing up without that knowledge at all.
Their parents say, well, then I don't have to work.
And now you're going to, oh, let's go to college.
Okay, great.
Now I have 100 grand in debt.
And H-1Bs have all the jobs.
And, you know, I just think it would be great for this country to just pause.
Give me like 15, 20 years, you know, or let's say if you're a 130 IQ or higher, you can come in.
You know, other than that, well, let's just see.
Let's see what this country does with those jobs that supposedly nobody wants.
benny johnson
Is the job?
Can you replace the job of influencer?
I think that's the big question.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Oh, of course.
benny johnson
And I, like, of course.
Well, I disagree with you entirely, but like, I, you know, I find it an interesting question.
So I'll listen to your answer.
You know, my answer is pretty simple, which is that nobody wants a robot telling them how to vote.
I mean, that's like the dystopian Hellscape Matrix nightmare.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Our viewership.
Yeah.
benny johnson
And nobody wants like, nobody wants.
So I've, you know, I've, I've, Gary from Nerdrotic is here.
I, I, I want to bring him in actually for this conference.
You mine, Jeremy.
We actually had like sort of, we had everything booked out, and it's like, Gary, we've been trying to get him on the show, I guess.
jeremy thequartering hambly
He works for me anyway.
So, bring him in.
He's my employee.
benny johnson
Oh, really?
Okay.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Okay, cool.
benny johnson
well here let's do a breaking singer to bring in legend nerderotic two great internet beards talking together the greatest beards on the internet speaking live together Community note: I was fired by Jeremy.
jeremy thequartering hambly
That's true.
That is true.
No severance either.
gary buechler
Yeah.
And I just stayed at work.
benny johnson
You got H1B by Jeremy.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah, it's been replaced.
unidentified
Yeah.
gary buechler
I'm also spitballing here.
What about brown pill?
jeremy thequartering hambly
What about pill?
gary buechler
Is that already used?
jeremy thequartering hambly
I don't think it is.
Otherwise, curry pill might work.
You know, I think I don't know.
I like curry, though, to be honest.
gary buechler
I did too.
benny johnson
I'm not a curry hater.
I also like curry.
I go, I don't go to Indian restaurants.
I go to Thai restaurants and I get curry like all the time.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Oh, it's true.
unidentified
Yeah.
benny johnson
At Thai restaurants.
So I'm not even sure if that's, is it curry a Thai thing?
I don't even know.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I don't know.
It all looks like baby food to me, but like it tastes fine.
gary buechler
Yeah.
It looks the same coming out too.
jeremy thequartering hambly
So yeah, my wife's a vegetarian, so we eat a lot of like Indian Ethiopian places.
And then usually I have to stop and get a burger on the way home.
But yeah, that tandoor chicken's all right.
benny johnson
So can influencers be replaced by AI?
gary buechler
Yes.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah.
See, Gary, my man.
See, I think Benny might be Benny just doesn't know about the VTuber world.
Like we're already getting replaced.
If you look at some of these popular VTubers and you plug that into an AI algorithm, which by the way, I don't know if people knew this.
I'm going to kick like Gary Answers, but just here's something to think about, Benny.
YouTube, when you upload videos to YouTube, you automatically opt in to allowing them to use your videos to train their, I don't know what it's called, Moz3, their video AI creation.
YouTube is already using that tool to generate completely AI videos and then serve them in the carousel at the top of the search results.
Why do they do that?
Well, because first of all, now they don't have to pay us that whopping 30% of the ad revenue.
Now they keep 100% of the ad revenue.
Things like DIY, things like that is going to be wiped out by this stuff.
Influencers, if our audience is a little bit older, I think we'll hold on longer.
I don't know, Gary.
I think, I think like the younger generation is going to be watching those anime girls and that's going to be what they are.
benny johnson
Totally aegised against Gary.
I just, I witnessed that.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I forget Gary Joel.
I think, I always think Gary's younger than me.
I've never like he, he's very young, man.
It's that he's got a great tan.
unidentified
So, I mean, I never, I never, I'm just immature.
gary buechler
That's all.
I think to answer your question, Betty, I think as Jeremy was alluding to, like, it's going to take a while for streamers, you know, years.
It could take years, but eventually we can easily be replaced.
It depends on taste.
Right now, authenticity is the key, but it's being fought on YouTube.
I listen to a lot of like ancient history videos and they are just flooded with AI and I have to farm through them and it gets frustrating.
So it's easier for me to just identify the channels I have, but it's going to, what's going to hurt is the new channels coming in because I'm going to, is it AI?
I have no idea at this point.
But for us, it'll be fine.
Authenticity is good.
And I pray for an analog generation.
And I know I'm online and I know people are watching me on a phone and on the computer, but I pray for an analog generation to save us all.
benny johnson
Bro, my kids play with wooden blocks.
My kids play with wooden blocks, and they're 20.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah, I was like, I was, I was not.
I just, I had a long night.
I was like, man, Benny's leaving himself open there.
I'm glad Jerry took it.
benny johnson
Did you guys know that Greta Tunberg's my daughter?
You didn't know that?
unidentified
Oh, God.
jeremy thequartering hambly
She's got a great haircut.
benny johnson
That's what she does.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah.
benny johnson
Let's go save Gaza.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah.
benny johnson
On my yacht that I use a dual, a dual diesel engine.
It's a sailboat.
You could sail to Gaza.
jeremy thequartering hambly
No, but you bring.
benny johnson
But you got to pump as much oil into the ocean as possible in order to bring your dysgenic communists with no user, no applicable skills to Gaza.
jeremy thequartering hambly
You know what I felt really old, Benny, is when I started looking at my analytics and I realized that like 80% of people watch my videos on their phone.
And I thought, I sat and thought for a second.
I'm like, I never watch YouTube videos on my phone.
Like the tide is changing.
I think there will, especially in the world where we're like providing commentary, I think there is some moat around that.
But there is a world of VTubers, Benny.
I invite you now.
Don't save your search history or anything.
If you go down, there is some very buxom ladies that are basically run by a person, but can be replaced by AI.
And you would never know because you don't know the person.
You don't know who's behind them.
I mean, there are some, I don't want to put anyone on blessed.
I think that they do great work.
benny johnson
Do any of the ladies look like this?
If they look like this, it'd be, you know.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Is that Lord Farquad or whatever they kind of said?
gary buechler
Is she taking the crap?
jeremy thequartering hambly
She looks like she's having some bathroom issues.
Yeah.
What is going on with this?
You know, people say you can't make fun of her or whatever.
I'm sorry.
She's rich, powerful, and has more media coverage.
I think she's completely fair game.
And whoever did this to her hair is a genius.
benny johnson
She's got to be a Zionist.
You got to be a Zionist if you did this to her hair.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I'll teach you.
benny johnson
Now go fight Skeletor.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Oh, yeah.
Right.
Shout out, he-man.
unidentified
Yeah.
benny johnson
This is a Gen X.
This is a Gen. This is my Gen X respect.
Instead of disrespect, this is my Gen X respect.
Yeah.
unidentified
She does have the Prince Adam.
She does.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah.
gary buechler
I mean, her parents served her up to activism.
So it's fair game.
It's fair game.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I'm going to miss her when she really does go into Gaza one day.
gary buechler
I say let her.
unidentified
Go ahead.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I don't know why.
benny johnson
Yeah, this is where it goes.
I want to say, like, I think you, you, I think that like e-news or, you know, home shopping network or whatever is sitting on a gold mine.
All you have to do is put them on an actual reality show and show them trying to make it in Gaza.
Hundreds of millions of people would like watch.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I would.
benny johnson
These communists who like can't survive a second without being talk about influencers.
Like that's all they do on that boat.
Like all they do is take selfie videos.
Like they don't have a single usable skill.
Not a single carpenter, not a single mason, not a single bricklayer, not a single farmer.
Like none of that.
jeremy thequartering hambly
She looks like she's laying a bridge.
benny johnson
They would get to Gaza and they'd use them for food.
Like they would get to Gaza with no skills and nothing to offer.
And they'd be human shields.
They turned into human shields, I think.
jeremy thequartering hambly
And women have something to offer in Gaza.
And I think, I mean, it's a little dark joke, but this is one of the things I always tell people.
Like, I don't know if you guys remember it.
I'm a big Rambo guy.
So maybe people don't see the Rambo movies as like improving over time, but I actually think basically every Rambo movie is awesome.
And in the, I think the one that when he came back for the first time, and he's in Myanmar, I think, and they have that boat full of, did you guys see this movie or no?
Or am I just going to talk to you?
unidentified
I've seen it.
I've seen it.
Okay.
jeremy thequartering hambly
So, you know, when they're in the boat and there's this white lady and then the church, and they're all like, oh, these are great.
And then some pirates come up and basically Rambo saves their lives by wasting them all.
And the first thing like the woman says, like, no, you can't do that.
I'm going to report.
And I'm like, and then Rambo says, they would have like R'd you a thousand times.
And then it's like, and I think about that scene and I'm like, that's exactly what would happen if they went into Gaza.
Like he's telling these like rich white people, like, you have no idea these people are savages.
They will do unspeakable things to you.
I just saved your life.
It's like, well, I'm going to report you to the authorities.
benny johnson
I want them to land.
unidentified
I don't get it.
benny johnson
Like, I don't get why Israel keeps intercepting them.
Let them land in Gaza.
I say, let them land.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah.
benny johnson
I think the deportation videos are really funny of Greta.
But like, you can tell on her face that she's like, knew that would be the result.
The thing she wasn't counting on was landing in Gaza.
Let them land there and put a film crew and a bunch of GoPros on that boat and then stream it live.
Like show people what's up.
I'm telling you, I'm a, you know, I'm not here to give advice.
I'm not here to give advice to foreign powers, but that's what I'll do.
Okay.
So my take on the whole AI influencer thing is that nobody wants to be told how to vote by a robot.
And nobody wants to be told about the news by a thing that can be like unplugged and that doesn't isn't really living in the real world, doesn't have children.
And like having a child, having families, like living life is something that is a human experience.
And we're going to be that no one that in fact, in a world of absolute synthetics that is being, that is overtake, trying to overtake everything, authentic and real connections are going to be at a premium, are going to be at an absolute premium.
If you have an actual audience and the audience knows you and knows you're a human and knows you're an American, right?
And knows that you're like one of us.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I hope you're right.
benny johnson
One of us.
unidentified
Yeah.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I'm not retired yet.
So I hope you're right, Benny.
benny johnson
That's my, that, that's my take.
I mean, I don't know why.
I don't know what the chat, you should pop the chat up.
I don't know what the chat thinks about this.
Like, do you want to be told by a robot like who to vote for in the 2028 election?
Would you subscribe to that?
You know, it's like, I wouldn't.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Well, I think my skin, go ahead, Nerd.
Gary.
gary buechler
I was going to say, who's feeding the information?
Like, it can be a human getting.
I mean, this is a rabbit hole we can go down forever.
I think the best course of action is just remain retarded on live streams.
I do that all the time.
It's going to be impossible for AI to be as retarded as I've been on live streams.
And that's the way to keep it real.
jeremy thequartering hambly
That's why I keep taking live breaks from my live stream to pee in the basement drain.
I'd like to see AI do that.
And they'll never go.
I just go right back.
I've got big money, Gary.
I've got basement drains.
Yeah.
And I mean, I agree.
I think that my fear is that it will be indistinguishable from the real thing.
And I hope you're right.
I mean, I can.
benny johnson
Yeah, until you're like, until you're like, talk about your kids, you know?
jeremy thequartering hambly
Right.
benny johnson
Until you're like, talk about your dog or talk about your, what is it?
That, what, what is it?
The RC dirt track that you got.
unidentified
Yeah.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah.
benny johnson
Like, you know, like there are, there are authentic, there are authentic human experiences that I don't care how smart your AI is.
I just don't care how many GPUs it because it's Scott.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah.
benny johnson
Like you're not going to be able to do it.
This is the opportunity.
gary buechler
Yeah.
To go on to expand on that, like the stream of conscious stream.
It'll be very hard for AI to do, especially a lot of a lot of people in streaming.
Sorry to break your heart have ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder.
And we connect things, you know, like in a very strange and probably wrong way.
But that it'll be hard for AI to mimic that in time.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah, I agree with that.
I hope, I hope.
Look, I think AI will have a big effect on it.
I think in our space where people are actually tuning in to see what we have to say, I'll let Benny white pill me a little bit.
benny johnson
Like, thank you.
jeremy thequartering hambly
They people want to know what Gary has to say about the latest movie because he's Gary.
And an AI movie reviewer would have a harder time taking that job.
And same thing with Benny with like, you know, like, and I don't know about you guys, but if I hear that voice, I have a viscer, like the AI cadence, you know?
Like, Gary talks about like, because YouTube is full of AI slop.
I'm like, oh, here's this video about this epic bridge.
You know, I want to know about the great molasses spill.
Did you know that there was a molasses thing that were like 60 people died because of molasses that exploded in Boston?
And it's a real thing.
They have a memorial for it.
And I was like, I want to learn about this.
And it's like, in 1974, there was a molasses spill.
And I'm just like, click off.
Yeah, immediately.
benny johnson
Click away.
Some Uzbeck, right, is just like plugging that stuff in, like coding in some basement dungeon somewhere that the CCP says.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Some basements are nice.
I mean, let's live in our basement, Benny.
benny johnson
Could AI write one of the most incredible books ever written?
It's called Waiting for Nerdrotic.
gary buechler
Oh, Lord of the Rings.
benny johnson
What would the AI book look like?
It wouldn't be worth it.
What would it do?
gary buechler
It would just AI would have to live a very sad life.
That's for sure.
But yeah, thanks for popping this up.
So I don't know about the greatest book ever written.
I had a lot of help and I have trouble stringing together two sentences.
And I have to, you know, text my wife about grammar.
But this is basically my recovery story, my experience, strength, and hope.
I was approached at meetings, even prior to YouTube, and then decided to go ahead.
Thanks to Chris Gore, talked me into this.
And the whole point of it is like, if a schmuck like me can pull myself out of just complete despair, homelessness, drug addiction, prison, and make it and have just a pretty, you know, a mediocre life.
A lot of people look down on that.
I never thought I'd even have that.
And I'm grateful every day, like every day is a gift, especially after some of the stuff I've been through, including not being alive for moments, ODing.
And if I can just get one person maybe into a meeting or just, you know, out of, you know, because depression is something that people have.
It's also moments, you know, that it's, and you can pull yourself out of it.
And there is a way.
It's really hard, but there is a way.
benny johnson
Yep.
This is completely inspirational.
And it's such a valuable, it's like taking a moment to like be that human being and explain that story about yourself is why your audience connects with you.
And there is no AI version of Gary because we're all human beings and we're all living a human experience.
And there are humans that are going to really relate with that.
And it might not be drug overdose, but everybody's going through something.
Everybody at this current moment who's watching this and everybody in the world is going through something like terrible, actually, and are having to deal with something.
That's just the way life is.
And AI will never be able to replace that.
Writing a book like this, waiting for neurotic.
And by the way, the website is ripascend.
gary buechler
Ripascend.com for Merrick July.
benny johnson
In the description.
gary buechler
It's in the pre-sale form and it's going to go into publication in about a month, about a little over a month.
benny johnson
How many pre-sales have you got?
Jeez, Gary.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Almost 3,000.
gary buechler
Almost 3,000 books.
benny johnson
Holy moly.
That's better than Kamala Harris.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Gary, how do you feel about India?
gary buechler
I don't know if you had any fun India facts here, but if it wasn't for India, there wouldn't be as many 7-Elevens in America.
If it wasn't for India, there wouldn't be that many praising, that many people praising the Fantastic Four as an absolute hit on Twitter.
unidentified
That's right.
There you go.
There you go.
That's exactly.
gary buechler
Thank you, India.
unidentified
Thank you, India.
benny johnson
Thank you for making my point there, by the way, with like the book tie-in.
unidentified
I'm sure that there's an AI masterminded us.
benny johnson
I'm sure there's an AI that could read the Lord of the Rings.
And if you're not unfamiliar with Gary's channel, go follow Nerd Rotic, obviously, and follow the quartering.
And they're all in the description right now.
They're all in the description.
You can click on them.
But I'm telling you, how I found Gary was his commentary on The Lord of the Rings.
And I think that I think, Gary, you will disagree with this, but there is no greater Tolkien expert that is true to the full heart of who Tolkien is than Gary.
And he really, really, with a full heart, this man is able to break down what is inarguably the great, greatest fantasy series ever written.
And I found that.
I found that.
I found Gary's channel during COVID, actually, because I was just kind of bored and searching.
And I'm sure that AI could read The Lord of the Rings.
And I'm sure AI could summarize the Lord of the Rings.
But what I want is a human experience.
I want a human experience that has consumed that and then can explain it to me.
And I would never click on an AI video about what AI thinks about Lord of the Rings.
It'll probably tell me that Rings of Power is like the greatest thing ever made.
gary buechler
It probably says it.
It fits right in.
And you're right.
But, you know, with that story, the reason our stories are important, the reason pop culture is important, something you understand, Benny, and many don't on the right, quite frankly, when they give shit to gamers is this stuff is important to us.
And going to male loneliness, big, huge epidemic, male loneliness and depression in this country.
I've suffered from it myself.
And it was something like The Lord of the Rings, which might sound silly to some people that got me through it.
That got me through really, really dark times.
That book, listening to it, reading it, reading a comic book, but that was my go-to.
Read it, read it in prison a bunch.
And it was just my happy place.
It was relief from what was going on around me, which you need to have, but you need to have that relief once.
You don't want to escape all the time, of course, but you need relief from these ailments to help you lift you out of it, get you happy any way possible.
And that's why people love Star Wars.
That's why people love Doctor Who.
A lot of it's just comfort, food.
But it meant a lot to people to work their ass off all day.
And then they have that two hours or three hours at night and they spend an hour watching Star Trek.
It meant a lot to people.
And to see that get invaded and destroyed, particularly with Lord of the Rings, the activists have been circling Lord of the Rings for a long time.
They've been wanting to take that story down for a long fucking time.
Excuse my language.
And they tried and they failed.
But that's why we shouldn't really discount or try to minimize anybody's love of pop culture, fandom, a game, a book.
Because if that's important to somebody, that might have gotten them through.
That might have kept somebody from suicide.
I've heard that a bunch.
benny johnson
Oh, man.
gary buechler
A bunch.
benny johnson
Yep.
Yep.
You know, it's so interesting that you bring that up.
We go to so I actually went to a Comic-Con with you, right, in Orlando, or a version of that.
And this is going to sound really embarrassing.
And so forgive me because I haven't really thought of it like this, but I'm just going to put it together.
And what I watched there was people who maybe found Lord of the Rings in prison.
Maybe that was their cure for male loneliness, but they were able to go with other people that like Lord of the Rings and like gather together and have a fellowship.
And I've been able to see that actually at MAGA rallies all across America, especially in the MAGA rallies I go to that are in like very far distant flung places that nobody would ever do a rally, right?
Normally.
And Trump was really good at that and like doing a rally where, you know, in North Dakota, right?
And one of the more rural counties in the world.
And he'd be able to bring 5,000 people together and unite them over a thing that they like all care about, which is America and like saving the country.
And there's something magical about that.
There has been so much ink spilled over what is the MAGA route?
How does it work?
Like, why does it work?
What is this movement?
And Trump talks about the forgotten man and woman and then like gives them a place to gather.
We all feel that, right?
Everybody feels like their town, the town they grew up in is East Palestine, right?
Every single person like saw East Palestine is like, man, that's what happened in my hometown, you know, in its own way.
Like it was just gutted from the inside, you know, and left for dead.
And then that like unites people.
And to just, to discredit that or to insult that or to attack that, it really gets it like gets it, it affects people because that's something that's so valuable for them.
For some of them, it saved their lives.
I've had people at MAGA rallies tell me that like watching Trump survive the assassination attempt, like saved their lives in a way that, like they saw Trump get up and back and they knew that they could too, and it was like spiritual, almost right absolutely, and and that's the they don't, they want to there's fellowship at Lord Of The Rings there's fellowship and recovery.
gary buechler
That's why I use the term.
I really hate the term community because it sounds like such a commie word.
But um that's, that's what fellowship is.
Uh MAGA, you know, didn't start with Trump.
Everybody knows this.
This good MAGA goes way back, way back to TEA Party and even before that, Barry Goldwater, and it's kind of a more well, it's looked at differently from the left, but it's more of a common sense approach to life and it's evolved over time.
That's what MAGA is.
MAGA doesn't agree with each other.
MAGA's always the MAGA's pissed off of the president for yesterday, for something he did yesterday.
So, and that's good.
You should be calling it out all the time.
But that's what fandom was too.
It was a bunch of people from different sides of the aisle just enjoying Lord Of The Rings and their love of everything nerd, and that was a really fun place until it got poisoned yes, by activism yes, and it's, and it's kind of it's kind of cooked.
Now it kind of sucks, and that's what we were trying to preserve and we we have, we preserve pockets of it wherever we can uh, and that's good, and the cons are still filled, which is so.
That means people still want to like this stuff, but they're just not buying it.
benny johnson
I wonder why that's so interesting that you bring that up because it's Jeremy and I started talking about the Indian scammers and the reason why that hits close to guys like me or Jeremy Uh, or maybe you Gary is because it like it seems to be sort of ripping the bark off of, like this Maga movement, that this, this like political movement that's so energetic and so, you know, so, so exciting and fun and the energy is there.
And like slowly but surely, we'll like, if, if we're not careful, we'll watch like the pieces get ripped off, monetized and like thrown and cast into the trash, you know, just like they do.
Every single time they make a new rings of power, right?
They, they, they desecrate, they vandalize the original Lord of the Rings.
Am I wrong?
Like every time you make a new Star Wars, you dilute the original Star Wars.
gary buechler
Yeah, there's more nothing now, right?
There's more bad Star Wars than good Star Wars now.
It's not even arguable.
And it dilutes it.
And that's one thing I'm blackpilled on.
I usually don't blackpill anything, but that franchise is dead.
And the same thing can happen.
Like movements evolve, movements come, movements go.
What we have to, I guess, as Americans focus on is what are we going to do beyond Trump?
So much focus was put on Trump.
And the fact of the matter is we have to recognize how activists invaded every institution in this country.
Schools, hospitals, government workers are 90% Democrat.
They're not 90% activists, but I bet 50% of them are.
And how do we do that?
We have to start paying attention at elections and who's our school board?
You know, who's our local school board?
Even if you don't have a kid in school, you should care.
And because that affects your neighborhood, your county commissioner.
I brought this up before, Benny.
I went to go vote for president, which I can do now.
Thank God, because I'm in, God bless Texas.
And I noticed about 20 Democratic judges in districts in Texas running unopposed.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yep.
gary buechler
Like, how the hell does that happen?
jeremy thequartering hambly
That's in Wisconsin too.
It's crazy.
I'm like, I went to vote.
I'm like, hey, city manager, this person's running unopposed.
Like, could I have got 45 votes?
What if I just put an R next to my name?
Would I have beat them?
Like, my wife's like, you don't have any time to run.
You know, I'm like, but he's right.
I see that locally too.
Like, I'm like, wow, there's four people running unopposed in my city.
That's crazy.
And they're all Democrats, you know, so it's like, so they wonder why.
gary buechler
They're flailing right now, but they are still coordinated.
They're still more coordinated.
The Republicans got to take the Scott Presslers and clone him or find more of him and get to work because it's going to take, it's going to take generations.
benny johnson
We tried to clone Scott Pressler and one of them ended up as a CNN anchor.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah, that's right.
By the way, shout out to the people.
benny johnson
We call that, we call that in my profession, Gary.
We call that attack of the clones.
gary buechler
Yes.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Shout out to Scott, by the way.
I know he takes a lot of heat.
I've door knocked with him before.
The guy really, really cares and he's out there.
And, you know, I know that he's going through a bit of frustration now.
I just want to hope he feels uplifted because he's, he, we need more people like Scott Pressler.
And basically anybody criticized him probably hasn't knocked on a door because it's one of the most terrifying things I've ever done.
Even when I knew that they were friendly, I that is a weird to be doing that all day long and to be grassrootsing it is incredible.
unidentified
Did you say, did you, did it go like this?
benny johnson
Hey, what's up, guys?
I'm Jeremy from the quartering.
Have you tried coffee?
jeremy thequartering hambly
You know what?
You know how it actually went?
Because I'm such a giant, I was with this like cute little girl.
She was like 5'2.
I stood back about 10 feet because I didn't want to be like in the doorway, you know?
And then like the guy just came to the door and she was, I just kind of let her talk.
I was very, I did not want to like, then once like they talked, I talked a little bit, but it was very, I a lot of credit to that.
I forget her name, but she's, she was with TPO says, she did great work and Scott's have natural attitude, but I was kind of just hanging out in the back.
gary buechler
The chat had it.
Maybe this is what you're doing.
You know, back in the old days of cons when girls didn't show up, you had booth babes.
You need election babes.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Election babes.
Yes, bring them back.
Remember when F1 got rid of the girls and the girls were like, hey, what the heck?
We weren't getting, we didn't feel objectified.
Now all of a sudden, a bunch of over obese women said we can't have this job.
benny johnson
We have this incredible photo of Jeremy actually door knocking with this little petite girl.
It's correct.
I can't believe that.
jeremy thequartering hambly
That's exactly how it went.
Yeah.
benny johnson
It was just sent into us.
I just, I think you do actually look like white face Drewski.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Well, I do.
You know, look, Drewski, I think he's very funny.
I wish that he had not went for literally every negative trope about NASCAR fans because I know a lot of NASCAR people and they're not like that.
But, you know, I think I'm not going to be offended by it because I love it.
The tan lines are incredible.
That is such a, that is such a great addition.
Like the Sunburn.
gary buechler
Come on, that's funny as hell.
Come on.
benny johnson
Anybody ever seen Whiteface Druski and Jeremy in the same room?
gary buechler
No.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I do have very similar tattoos, but you know, I don't know.
unidentified
Yeah.
benny johnson
I mean, I can't confirm or is your entire channel actually just Drewski LARPing as a white YouTuber?
jeremy thequartering hambly
It could be the greatest social experiment of all time.
We don't know.
benny johnson
Final important question to Gary.
Gary, are you the one who sent Gavin Newsom all the Trump 2028 hats?
gary buechler
Yes.
benny johnson
It was me.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I knew it.
There it is.
benny johnson
He complained about it.
And nobody, he didn't give a name.
And I know your feelings on Gavin.
And now's the time.
I'm not here to dox anyone, right?
gary buechler
No, it was me.
I hate Gavin.
I hate Gavin Newsom.
I've always hated him.
He was my mayor.
He was my lieutenant governor.
He was my governor.
This guy's been running places I've been for 20 years in California, and he's never done anything.
He's never had any substance.
As a matter of fact, how many debates have you seen the guy in?
And the one we won, and he got his ass kicked.
He doesn't debate.
jeremy thequartering hambly
The book map, legendary.
benny johnson
Yes.
gary buechler
Yeah.
Like Ron DeSantis.
So, no, I've promised.
Like, I don't get political, but I will if this dude runs for president officially.
Like, I will, I will go after him.
I don't like him.
He is directly responsible for killing thousands, maybe tens of thousands of businesses in California, including my wife's.
And yes, I took it personally along with Mayor London Breed.
And I'm not going to let anybody ever forget that.
Plus, he's crap.
You know, the, oh my God, the high-speed rail train.
I know that gets brought up a lot, but I remember at the time, do you know how much I don't know enough people know like how much of that is built?
For one, it was supposed to be a high-speed rail train from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
Makes a lot of sense.
There's a corridor down there.
You got five, you know, like it makes a ton of sense.
I think they've got like 11 miles done and it goes nowhere and it's a regular train.
$40 billion.
benny johnson
It's so wild.
gary buechler
$40 million.
benny johnson
It's something that we don't talk about enough.
And I know that you're in Orlando pretty often.
I don't know, Jeremy, if you travel to Florida often, but there's a train that is a high-speed train called the Bright Line here in Florida.
Now, like, like, you know, libs are the ones who like pull up, have to pull out their special sock, right?
When they think about Europe and there's fast trains and how special train travel is and how exciting it is to be on a fast train.
And like, it's the state of Florida, the like dark red state of Florida that's able to build high-speed rail.
It's an incredible train from Miami to Orlando, and they're extending it to Tampa.
So it's going to be like connecting the three big cities in Florida over high speed.
And they're doing it for like pen.
They're doing it at like a teeny fraction of the cost that it's taken Gavin Newsom to build like 10 feet of train.
Like the right state of Florida is able to build high-speed rail and it's all it's amazing actually to go from Miami to Orlando.
jeremy thequartering hambly
By the way, shout out Florida for banning all jab requirements.
That happened.
I'm sure you covered it, bud.
unidentified
Yeah.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Shout out.
Yeah.
Florida leads again.
gary buechler
How are they still around?
benny johnson
We were on with Chris Cuomo last night, actually, talking about that.
It's like it's indefensible, right?
From a, for, from a parental standpoint, you make all these choices for your children every single day.
And what they want is mandates by force.
And that's that's what they're actually going for.
And so when you put it like that, there is going to be for the rest of our lives, for the rest of our lives, this visceral reaction against that.
And I saw it last night.
I was like, what you want, Cuomo, is mandates by force, medical experimentation on my children.
And you frame it like that.
And like immediately, and I don't care who it is, like they'll retreat because they know that they've already lost that argument with 95% of America.
gary buechler
Well, how much experimentation have they already done, Benny?
That's part of the problem.
Like, look at just the shots that have gone up for kids just in the last 20 years.
And, you know, one of my kids is on the spectrum.
And one of the things that I, that got my vote for Trump was RFK going again, going up and bringing up autism and the autism rates going up and, you know, which was just taboo before.
That's the term anti-vaxxer comes from that.
It comes from that.
It doesn't come from COVID.
It comes from people questioning shots that could have possibly, possibly led to autism.
Could also be the food.
But like, this is shit I want to know.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I have some.
benny johnson
Remember, I have some breaking news.
I have some breaking news on this, actually.
That's kind of interesting because I know where they're going with this.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Isn't Jenna Jamison on the forefront of that?
Yes, she was.
I feel like she was.
gary buechler
It wasn't Jenna Jameson.
It was, oh my God.
jeremy thequartering hambly
It was one of those other chicks.
gary buechler
We're mixing up our hot blondes.
Jenna Jameson's porn.
benny johnson
No.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
gary buechler
No, Jenny McCarthy.
unidentified
Jenny McCarthy.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Jenny McCarthy.
unidentified
Yeah.
gary buechler
I mean, they're all hot.
unidentified
Yeah.
gary buechler
One's not in porn.
So one was in Playboy, not porn.
benny johnson
What they're going after is the, what they're going after is the indemnity against the vaccine manufacturers.
That's what they're eventually trying to strip away is vaccine manufacturers.
You can't sue them.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah, that's ridiculous, dude.
benny johnson
That's a, that's a, that's a, I mean, that's unspeakable, actually, that they can produce whatever they want.
It can damage however many people.
I guess we'll have to wait for like real data from CDC and HHS.
They're doing these studies.
They've done them in Florida.
And then the children, the parents of these children have absolutely no recourse.
They are totally indemnified.
You have absolutely, you have no ability to sue.
And this is because Ronald Reagan, you know, was obviously tricked by them into saying this.
And that's, I think, what they're going to go.
That's, I think, the ultimate, that's the holy grail.
jeremy thequartering hambly
You know, that's going to happen.
benny johnson
That's what they're coming for, actually.
jeremy thequartering hambly
You know what I mean?
benny johnson
No, you should be able to be, you should be held responsible, frankly, for the data.
jeremy thequartering hambly
I agree.
I think the reason Florida did what they did yesterday is they know what's coming out in that report.
benny johnson
Yes.
jeremy thequartering hambly
They know what's coming out in that report and they're getting out in front of it and they're going to say, hey, nobody's going to care if it was one day before or one day, one day after or one day before or one year before.
They're going to be able to say, hey, look, we don't require this stuff anymore because just like the FBI keeps all this stuff, Health and Human Services does.
And they're not as good at hiding it.
Sure, they have different stuff in different databases, but ask yourself, how is RFK able to put together this report in like a month?
Like, how did they have the data?
And they're going to, and I think it's going to be very, very bad for harm.
benny johnson
And they're going to say that they knew that it was harmful and They carried it forward anyway, and then they mandated it.
And that's a criminal act then.
So that's that's actual malice.
And then they're going to go after the protections that the vaccine manufacturers enjoy.
And that, and part of the way to do it, you know, part of the way to do it is just to part of the way to get rid of this great evil, the big pharma evil, is to one, call out Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who are like the Indian scammer paid shills of Congress.
jeremy thequartering hambly
Yeah.
benny johnson
They are the Indian scammers of Congress.
It is Bernie.
Nothing cooked on our site.
Like RFK Jr. being like, oh, really?
You got millions of dollars from Big Pharma.
You got millions of dollars from Big Pharma.
And then two, to take away the protections from some of these some of these evil companies that they that's why they want the child mandates.
They want the child mandates because they need this population that can't argue with the uptake of their product.
It's totally evil.
Crazy that Democrats have children.
gary buechler
Democrats who were always against the big corporation and the man, they have Bernie Man out there.
unidentified
What's going on?
gary buechler
It's almost like they were always full of shit.
jeremy thequartering hambly
What happened to My Body, My Choice?
benny johnson
Yes, yeah, that's exactly.
Yes, that's exactly right.
Is that what you were?
Is this what you were saying actually in this video, Jeremy?
jeremy thequartering hambly
Is this you saying I feel like it's not going to be me?
benny johnson
I'm saying my body, my choice about Drewski.
Look, that's fine.
jeremy thequartering hambly
It was early in the morning, and I didn't have my beard combed.
I hadn't had a shower yet.
And, you know, I wish I had not framed my Tidian like that.
It's not the best framing.
But as you can see, I live in a storage container and that is a very small footprint.
I'm green, Benny.
And I wish that you wouldn't, I wish that you wouldn't shame me for caring about the environment.
benny johnson
I don't even know what this is.
gary buechler
My producer's just a container, too.
benny johnson
My producer just sent me all this stuff.
unidentified

benny johnson

There are two.
