		Okay, Nancy Pelosi shrieks and screams, Shut up, shut up, shut up.
		Loses it at reporter over question of January 6th.
		Now, this is a fascinating question.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We have a ton of background on this, but the people's history of Nancy Pelosi and the National Guard goes very nicely like this: as has been, I can't, like, I just can't believe what I saw on Klein's screen.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I can't believe it.
unidentified		We have literal mustache handcuffs for John Bolton.
		I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt this breaking news with more breaking news, but this is how good our team is, ladies and gentlemen.
		I needed this.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much.
		It's been a I pretty much not slut for a couple of days.
		We're just like straight up redlining.
unidentified		So it's going to be like squirrel, you know, for me.
		And that's an acorn.
		And I just loved seeing it.
		That was amazing.
		Mustache handcuffs.
		Okay, great.
		I'm happy to use the mustache handcuffs on Pelosi.
		Here's why.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Nancy Pelosi is probably the number one person who could have prevented January 6th.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Now, what do I mean by that?
unidentified		Even if you had a bunch of feds, even if you had a bunch of Goombas who are out there screaming, we got to go into the Capitol.
		Let's get in.
		That's where our problem is.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Let me just cut the fences down.
unidentified		Let's just set up some gallows here.
		We'll just make sure a bunch of guys with the earpieces are smashing all the windows, opening up all the doors, make sure everyone gets going in.
		There is one way to prevent all of it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All of it.
unidentified		No matter what every Fed or undercover agent tried to do, whatever any Antifa tried to do, no matter what any usurper, bad actor LARPing as a MAGA supporter, it's amazing.
		Where was Antifa that day?
		You know, I lived through all of it.
		I was there on January 6th, of course.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Like I was invited.
unidentified		I was sitting in the front row at Trump's speech.
		I didn't go to the Capitol.
		I saw it and I was like, probably best to stay away from that one.
		But I, you know, I've like, because by the time I got it, it really was like there, something, you know, something, it had descended, you know, and I was like, something went horribly wrong here.
		You know, this is not MAGA.
		And that's been proven a lot of times, obviously, in the number of undercover feds, which were there.
		We now learn there are hundreds of undercover feds in the audience that day.
		We've also learned that there are BLM activists, Antifa activists that have been federally charged who are members of left-wing groups that were there that day LARPing, playing MAGA.
		They wore MAGA hats.
		They were there in order to slander our movement, malign us, and to get people indicted and put in prison.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Some of them have been put in prison.
unidentified		And through their trials, as we have demonstrated time and time again, through their trials, they have been exposed as left-wing agitators who were there that day, along with hundreds of feds who were there that day, along with Ray Epps, along with every single other agitator that was there in order to maliciously slander and troublemak and riot and break things and to malign the entire movement.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That was the op.
unidentified		Okay, so that op happened.
		And here's my contention, that I don't care what the op was, if Nancy Pelosi had done her damn job, which constitutionally she is seated with the authority as the speaker of the house at the time, the keys, the protection of the capital, falls to the speaker of the house.
		Those keys jangled in Nancy Pelosi's skeletor hands that day and in the preceding days.
		And Nancy Pelosi decided swiftly and in her own voice and with her own actions and her own admission, actually, and we'll play you the clips, to not allow the National Guard.
		Understand that no matter what psyops they had planned for that day, none of it could have happened with the National Guard.
		I was just in D.C. I saw National Guard troops in D.C. 24 hours ago.
		Have you seen National Guard troops?
		Have you ever walked up to a military base?
		Do you know how intimidating these people are?
		I don't want to like go over, you know, the passage prologue.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We've talked about this before, but I've been, I was, I lived through all of it, right?
unidentified		I witnessed it all.
		And I'm telling you that this was the only day that Antifa and BLM didn't show up to work.
		This is the only day that Antifa and BLM was not actively torching the city, rioting, throwing bricks, sticks, rocks, knives, burning things.
		They were gone.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		They vanished.
unidentified		And they were all wearing MAGA hats that day and attacking the Capitol.
		That's provable.
		But no one, nothing, no FBI undercover.
		None of them could have done anything if the National Guard had been there.
		It would just have been stopped dead, cold, in its tracks.
		No funny business would have happened.
		The Capitol wouldn't have been attacked.
		Okay, there's a scuffle with police.
		Arrest the guy.
		I've always been in favor of that.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Don't punch cops.
unidentified		Punch cops.
		Get arrested.
		Wearing a black block or a MAGA hat.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Don't punch cops.
unidentified		We've always said that on the show.
		Who cares?
		Maybe there's a scuffle there.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Maybe some guy gets too hot-blooded and right and like jumps a fence.
unidentified		Arrest him, throw him in, arrest him, charge them.
		Whatever.
		But no, there would have been no attack on the Capitol if the National Guard had been deployed.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Nancy Pelosi did not deploy the National Guard.
unidentified		Nancy Pelosi has admitted this.
		ALX, where's the clip?
		I want the clip of Nancy Pelosi saying, you know, we should have deployed the National Guard, this Pelosi total failure.
		Is it right here?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Clip E? Okay.
unidentified		Nancy Pelosi has admitted this.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Not only has it been admitted in writing, Nancy Pelosi has admitted it in word.
unidentified		No, I thought that she was in the back of a car.
		There we go.
		All right, boys.
		ALX, when I say dig deep on these Pelosi clips, you know what's where we're going here, okay?
		Let's lock and load.
		Here's the Nancy Pelosi in the back of the Jeep National Guard.
		Is it clip?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Oh, clip D. Okay, never mind.
unidentified		The ALX had it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		ALXAI always has it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Forgive me as we are redlining here.
unidentified		Here we go.
		All right.
		ALX is now like, bro, bro, I got you.
		I know you do.
		I know you do.
		ALX. Here we go.
		We have responsibility, Terry.
		We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have.
		This is ridiculous.
		You're going to ask me in the middle of the thing when they've already breached the inaugural stuff that They thought that they had sufficient.
		No, there's not a question of how they have done.
		They don't know.
		They clearly didn't know.
		And I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for war.
		They're taking responsibility for not having them.
		Why wasn't the National Guard here?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Says Nancy Pelosi.
unidentified		She's fleeing the Capitol.
		I take responsibility.
		Nancy Pelosi calling all this a total failure.
		These are all like, thank goodness her silly little daughter was there making a documentary film because she captured all the criminal evidence right here on tape.
		Here we go.
		You know, you can barely hear that.
		Next time we should probably caption something like this.
		It's like, it's extremely hard to hear.
		Why don't we send it over to, why don't we send it over to the team for captioning?
		But you can hear there, and perhaps you could hear the same thing I could through the muffled mask.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it's like they're clink-clopping with their, you know, their little girl boss heels and through their masks, Nancy Pelosi saying, we're totally unprepared.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is a total failure.
unidentified		We're totally unprepared.
unidentified		The question, of course, is, does Nancy Pelosi suffer from extreme incompetence or malice on this day?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Perhaps that's something that a trial will prove.
unidentified		But Nancy Pelosi doesn't seem to be putting up a good defense for herself.
		If you actually look at the clips, the evidence of the day and what she was saying at the time.
		This is one that's always confused me, and I won't belabor it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I promise you I won't go on like a long like conversation about that.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is the craziest clip from January 6th.
unidentified		You want to see the single craziest clip from January 6th right here, Pelosi punch-up, where Nancy Pelosi straight up admits with the, with the, with like the crowds in the background.
		Nancy Pelosi, crowds at the Capitol.
		They're all there.
		Everyone's waving their signs.
		And Nancy Pelosi's standing there live being like, I've been waiting for this.
		Trespassing at the Capitol.
		She's straight, like, no one's ever heard of trespassing at the Capitol before as a crime.
		The Capitol is public grounds.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We all pay for the Capitol building right now.
unidentified		You can walk up to the Capitol building and you can get a ticket for free, walk right into the Capitol building and roam around, okay?
		Part of a tour group, part of a congressional tour, right?
		You just get a little minder.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You can do it no matter what, no matter who you are.
unidentified		You walk right in, get a ticket, and walk right through the Capitol.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Just, you know, you can do it.
unidentified		You can do it right now.
		Go to the Capitol Visitor Center.
		There's never been such a, and you can wander around the Capitol like crazy.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You can go right up to it.
unidentified		You could touch it.
		You can walk the stairs up to a certain point.
		There's no such thing as trespassing on the Capitol grounds.
		What the hell is she talking about here?
		Here's Nancy Pelosi straight up signaling what they're going to charge thousands of January 6ers with trespassing at the U.S. Capitol while January 6th is going on.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It's the single most damning piece of evidence I've ever seen that all of this was a premeditated setup go.
unidentified		Secret service said they have dissuaded him from coming to Capitol.
		They told him they don't have the resources to protect him here.
		So at the moment he is not coming, but that couldn't check.
nancy pelosi ▲ ● ▼		Oh, he's coming.
unidentified		I'm going to punch him out.
		This is what my mom pays for.
		I'm waiting for this for trespassing on the Capitol grounds.
		I'm going to punch him out and I'm going to go to jail.
		I'm going to be happy.
		Oh, wow.
		Pelosi said she's going to punch President Trump.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That's not the headline.
unidentified		Stop focusing on that.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That's stupid.
unidentified		Focus on the real headline.
		The real headline is that Nancy Pelosi says, with January 6th going on in the background, I've been waiting for this trespassing on the Capitol grounds.
		It defies all explanation.
		No such thing as that.
		Nancy Pelosi had something cooking, right?
		And the people who know the most about January 6th, like Chief Stephen Sund, is now making sure that everyone understands that Nancy Pelosi refused to take his calls, refused to answer his requests for National Guard.
		So this is the clapback to our viral clip today.
		So I guess let's play the viral clip.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Pelosi's snapping on all this.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I sort of wanted to present the evidence and then move to the commentary of it.
unidentified		So this is the evidence of Nancy Pelosi just refusing to send the National Guard.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Now, there's also documented evidence of Kash Patel giving thousands of National Guard troops to Nancy Pelosi.
unidentified		There's documented evidence.
unidentified		Why was Kash Patel doing this?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Because he was the chief of staff of the Department of Defense.
unidentified		There's documented evidence of thousands and thousands of National Guard troops being offered to the United States Capitol for its defense.
		Here is the evidence.
		So it literally lied in Pelosi's skeletor hands.
		And now Pelosi's lying.
		Here is Nancy Pelosi being asked about this yesterday and losing her mind.
		Here we go.
		Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the new January 6th committee will find you liable for that day?
		Are you at all concerned about the new January 6th committee finding you liable for that day?
		Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?
		Shut up.
		I did not refuse the National Guard.
nancy pelosi ▲ ● ▼		The president didn't send it.
unidentified		Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist?
		The American people want to know.
		We still have questions.
		Thank you.
		The spin around of the camera and then the smile is Secretary Grant.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		The president did send it.
unidentified		Here we go.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The acting Department of Defense Secretary from the Secretary of Defense memorandum dated January 4th for the employment of the District of Columbia National Guard, allowing Nancy Pelosi full access to the National Guard.
unidentified		Memorandum to Secretary of the Army.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It's an obscene lie.
unidentified		Nancy Pelosi is caught dead to rights on this one.
		And that is why she lost her mind.
		Shut up.
		All right.
		It's like dentures flying out of her mouth.
		This is why she's losing it.
		Now, Chief Stunned, he was the Capitol Hill Police Chief during January 6th, has once again clapped back at Nancy Pelosi with cold hard facts.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It's not the first time that he's done this, but I love it every single time it happens.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Ma'am, let me refresh your memory.
unidentified		It was your sergeant-at-arms who repeatedly denied my multiple requests for National Guard assistance before and on January 6th.
		Even on January 6th, your sergeant-at-arms denied my urgent request for over 70 minutes while he was running it up the chain for your approval.
		The Pentagon offered National Guard assistance, but it had to be declined because your sergeant-at-arms would not grant me the legal authority required under federal law.
		And then he catalogs every single denied request, saying that Pelosi didn't like the optics of National Guard being deployed.
		Now, this is something that I thought was particularly rich from Democrats about the current deployment of the National Guard to Washington, D.C. Because after January 6th, Nancy Pelosi demanded the National Guards that a fortress up around the Capitol building, not anywhere else in D.C., as my block descended into gangland violence and third world horrors.
		My block also was just probably two or three blocks away from where the National Guard, where the armory, where the Army Armory is in D.C. So that's where all the National Guard were staying.
		They weren't allowed to police any of the criminals that were running rampant, stealing cars, shooting up neighborhoods, robbing people, burning things down.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The National Guard didn't police any of them.
unidentified		D.C. natives and gang members were able to come into D.C. and rape, murder, and pillage with immunity as the National Guard just watched.
		The National Guard was deployed to D.C. and set up a fortress to one, install Joe Biden, and then to two, protect Nancy Pelosi for the better part of the next six months.
		They put up Constantina wire, gates, armed guards.
		They were there 24 hours a day.
		They stood and walked a post.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The Capitol was a medieval fortress.
unidentified		Isn't it amazing what they did there?
		They didn't do it for the betterment of anyone living in D.C. They did it for their own petty security.
		And then they have the bloody cheek to scream when Donald Trump deploys the National Guard to protect the actual city and the residents of that city.
		Isn't that amazing?
		They loved it when every National Guardsman from all over the country was deployed there to protect them so they could trot around the Capitol like they were living on a military base.
		When Trump does it to actually clean up Washington, D.C., so you can travel there with your family to see the nation that is your birthright, they lose their minds.
		Something else.
		Isn't it something else?
		Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you what, it's beautiful to have been on the right side of history here.
		Nancy Pelosi on the wrong side of history.
		Stephen Son has been on our show and straight up gave the spit the truth about this.
		He'll, I'm telling you, this is a very honest man.
		I've got to know this man.
		And I look forward to him testifying in this new January 6th committee.
		Here we go.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So please, if you would, you know, I could read it live on air.
unidentified		I'd rather you actually explain what happened on the day of January 6th, given the fact that Nancy Pelosi has decided to use Trump's deployment of the National Guard as a attack vector.
		I think that's not a smart strategy given Pelosi's history.
		Could you please explain that history, Nancy Pelosi?
		Yes, let me take you back to a couple days before January 6th.
		Take you back to Sunday, January 3rd.
		It was the first day of the new Congress.
		They're all being sworn in.
		That was the day I went over specifically to see both the House and the Senate Sergeant Arms to request the use of the National Guard to help support my perimeter.
		Again, a lot of people don't realize National Guard can't come up to Capitol Hill, and I cannot bring National Guard up to Capitol Hill without approval of the Capitol Police Board.
		It's actually by law.
		It's 2 U.S. 1970.
		The Capitol Police Board has to make the request.
		But I went to the two sergeant-at-arms, Paul Irving, who's the House Sergeant-Arms, works specifically directly for Nancy Pelosi, and the Senate Sergeant Arms, which was Mike Stinger at the time, who worked for McConnell.
		Went to see them in person to request National Guard support to help support my perimeter.
steven sund ▲ ● ▼		I had 273 officers to support the perimeter during a joint session of Congress.
steven sund ▲ ● ▼		All I wanted was unarmed National Guard to help maintain the perimeter.
unidentified		Fence line is no good if you don't have people behind it.
		I went up to see Paul Irving.
		I have my exact times.
		I've turned over all my video transcripts on my phone records, have my exact times.
		It was morning, Sunday morning, approximately 9:35.
		Went over to see Paul Irving and was denied.
		He was denied bringing in federal resources, specifically because he was concerned about the optics of having the National Guard on Capitol grounds.
		He then referred me over to Mike Stinger, who's now the chairman of the Capitol Police Board, the Senate Sergeant Arms.
		Went over immediately to see him.
		He wasn't in.
steven sund ▲ ● ▼		I came back approximately 11:40 to see him again.
unidentified		As soon as I came walking in and started asking for the use of the National Guard, he already had a denial queued up.
		He wouldn't allow me to bring the National Guard.
		Later, he told me that Paul Irving had come up and told him that Sunday was coming to request the National Guard and they had to come up with another idea because he was believed he'd never get that by Pelosi.
		To boil it all down, you begged Nancy Pelosi's leadership structure for National Guard protection days before January 6th.
		Correct.
		And you have a record of that.
		And that Nancy Pelosi's leadership structure and enforcement structure, security enforcement structure, told you flatly no.
		This is going to look bad for us.
		We don't like the look of it or whatever.
		And no.
		100% correct.
		I was denied twice.
		Specifically, they would not approve the request, specifically concerned over optics.
steven sund ▲ ● ▼		You are absolutely right.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Well, you know, it's very inconvenient for people like Nancy Pelosi or Stephen Sun to be out there spitting facts.
		Very inconvenient for Nancy Pelosi.
		All of the facts that align here, including the creepy videos of her being like, I've been waiting for this.
		President Trump putting up on Truth Social.
		The Biden FBI placed hundreds of agents in the crowd during January 6th.
		If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed a big apologies.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		What a scam.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Do something, says President Trump.
unidentified		Let's go ahead and read here from Just the News.
		FBI bombshell: 274 agents sent to Capitol for January 6th.
		Maybe many later complained that they were political pawns.
		Uh-oh.
		Hidden for years.
		An after-action report on the FBI's involvement in January 6th, found by Director Patel, shows dozens of agents feared that the FBI had become woke and liberally biased.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Goodness gracious.
unidentified		The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the January 6th riot.
unidentified		An operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank and file.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The Bureau lost its core competencies to wokeness and allowed its employees to become pawns in a political war, according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years.
unidentified		Scores of FBI agents and personnel, many of whom, many from the Bureau's premier Washington Field Office, sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into unsafe scenarios without proper safety equipment or the ability to identify themselves readily to armed officers.
		Most persistent complaint was that the Bureau during the James Comey and Christopher Wray era had become infected with political biases and liberal ideology that treated the protests from the summer of 2020 Black Lives Matter riots far differently than those arrested in the aftermath of the January 6th episode.
		Isn't that the case, right?
		Do you know of anyone who caught a charge for raping, pillaging, or murdering during the BLM riots?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Do you know anyone?
unidentified		Is that even real?
		Has anyone been charged with anything?
		It'd be really nice to see some true crimes charged for the BLM organization.
		Are the statute of limitations passed?
		It'd be fun to find out.
		The FBI should make clear to its personnel and to the public that despite its obvious political bias, it ultimately still makes its mission and priorities, it still takes its mission and priorities seriously, one employee wrote in a stinging review.
		It should equally and aggressively investigate criminal activity regardless of the offender's perceived race, political affiliations, motivations, and should equally and aggressively protect all Americans regardless of perceived race or political affiliations.
		I totally agree with this.
		If you send a death threat to a left-winger or if you send a death threat to a right, you know, to somebody on the right, both of them should be charged.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All of it is evil, so on and so forth.
unidentified		Like, I'm in total agreement here.
		The problem is that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people who behaved in criminal fashion throughout the Antifa and BLM riots, where every single day our nation's capital was under attack and burning, none of them ever got charged.
		They were able to tear down statues in Washington, D.C. Hey, Alex, can you get me that video of them trying to tear down the statue of Andrew Jackson outside of the White House?
		It is still one of the most, and like it is important to remind people what we've been through as a country.
		It's just crazy, man.
		It's crazy.
		Kash Patel, by the way, in charge of the FBI, had a big press conference yesterday.
		He was on our show in 2023 explaining, no, Nancy Pelosi is lying.
		This is how right we've been.
		We're closing the book on 2025.
		I can't believe that.
		We're entering 2026.
		Three-year-old clip now of Kash Patel on our program telling you the truth and the true facts of January 6th.
		Let's go.
		So can you please rewind the clock?
		And your time is valuable.
		I don't want you to have to repeat yourself, but please give us a play-by-play of what you offered because you were the one who was making the offer.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You know, you are the man in the room where it happens.
unidentified		What did Donald Trump offer on the morning of January 6th?
		Yes, I was chief of staff at the Department of Defense at the time, and he actually offered it two days before January 6th.
		We were in the Oval Office, me, SecDef, chairman, and a couple other people.
		We're talking about some sensitive operations, unrelated to anything here.
kash patel ▲ ● ▼		And he, President Trump, said, hey, look, I've seen that there's a lot of people that are going to be in and around January 6th, not just in D.C., but around the country.
unidentified		What are we doing to offer security?
		And of course, I'm paraphrasing, and I said, sir, well, we have the National Guard.
		He says, okay, well, I'm authorizing up to 10,000 to 20,000.
		And the reason he did that, because he preemptively had the foresight to know in case something happens, he doesn't want to have to be the one put in the position to say, I made a bad national security decision and didn't authorize it.
kash patel ▲ ● ▼		The Constitution and the Supreme Court have a two-part test.
unidentified		President has to authorize National Guard.
kash patel ▲ ● ▼		Step one.
unidentified		Step two, the local governor or mayor, since it's D.C. in this instance, or head of law enforcement, Nancy Pelosi, has to request the National Guard after the authorization.
		It's posi comitatus.
		It's Supreme Court law because our founding fathers don't want uniformed military personnel to occupy Washington, D.C. or anywhere else.
		Makes total sense.
		Well, after that, two days before January 6th, I sent my team to both Pelosi and Bowser in person.
		We can offer you up to 10, maybe 20,000 National Guard, but you guys know you have to tell us you want it.
		We can't mobilize.
		We can't equip, we can't man up until you sell me.
		Go.
		And they wrote.
		Now the letter's out there.
kash patel ▲ ● ▼		Mayor Bowser's letter is out there where she says I declined.
unidentified		The Capitol Police timeline specifically states they went to Nancy Pelosi upon request of the Department of Defense for National Guard, and they said, she said, nope.
		So that's why it didn't deploy.
		And I want to tell you the story about January 6th, which I really haven't told much.
kash patel ▲ ● ▼		Please.
unidentified		The day of when the riot and everything was going on outside, of course, now Pelosi's calling us, me, SecDef, screaming, why isn't the National Guard here?
		And then, and then we're like, wait a second.
		So, are you authorizing it?
		Okay, authorized.
		Okay, where are they?
		As if I can just grow 10,000 Americans who are teachers, doctors, cops, lawyers, parents.
		I have to fly them in, kit them up, arm them, train them, equip them, then deploy them through law enforcement because they're an accompaniment to law enforcement.
kash patel ▲ ● ▼		They're not a military to august security operations.
unidentified		I'm going to call the National Guard in to remove that chandelier from Cash's shot.
		That also should be a National Guard deployment.
		Enough, enough.
		Those are great days.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Those were exciting days.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We were proud to have been on the right side of history here.
unidentified		Those were very scary days to tell the truth about January 6th and the 2022, 2023 timeline.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I mean, goodness gracious, you get like that.
		That's exactly how you get all of your accounts deleted, right?
		You get thrown in jail.
unidentified		But we were proud to have told the truth and we were right.
		And now Nancy Pelosi is running scared.
		As should everybody in this shot, just really quickly here.
		Look at this.
		Look at this.
		Look what is happening to your country.
		This isn't some park in the middle of Wyoming.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is the White House.
unidentified		This is outside the White House.
		You can go see that statue today.
		That's a statue of Andrew Jackson.
		He's a great American president.
		Look at what they wrote on it.
		Killer.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Scum.
unidentified		So, and then look at them defacing it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		They're trying to pull it down.
unidentified		So they've wrapped a bunch of stuff around the neck of the statue.
		Speaking of statue, statue, Seth Schutz of the federal government, go ahead and check in here on the DOJ website.
		Ah, yes.
		U.S. 18 U.S. Code 1361: Destruction of government property.
		Boy, sure as hell looks like there's destruction of government property going on.
		They're trying to tear down this giant statue, this historic statue in front of the White House.
		Is this not destruction of property?
		Here's the U.S. Code.
		Section 1361 protects any property of the United States of America, agency, or department thereof from being manufactured or constructed in the United States, the agency department thereof, from being willfully deprediation.
		Okay, well, that deprediation has been characterized as an act of plundering, robbery, pillaging, or laying waste.
		All right.
		Not a commonly used word, but nonetheless, this is something that could land you with a $250,000 fine or potentially thrown in prison, one year imprisonment.
		Okay, so here's my question: How many of these protesters got a year in prison and a $250,000 fine?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		They're on campus, full face on camera.
unidentified		Can we play the clip again?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Full face on camera, hundreds of them doing worse than anything I saw on January 6th.
unidentified		And here they are.
unidentified		They've wrapped cables around the neck of the statue that is directly across from the White House.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Killer scum, they wrote on it.
unidentified		They're climbing up the statue.
		Here's the government.
		Here's the government statute.
		In the criminal code, nothing.
		That's what people said.
		This is what the FBI was raging about when they're like, this is you, you're clearly politicizing prosecutorial discretion in this country.
		Ladies and gentlemen, we have the great Byron Donalds joining the program here.
		And he's getting tested right now and set.
		And we're going to lock in.
		We have come off of a trip where we had to take a train, to train through Union Station, just like fast forward to the great day, like to now.
		Oh, man, the difference is unbelievable.
		The difference is incredible.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Union Station was sparkling.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I've never seen anything like it, the Trump administration.
unidentified		It used to smell like bumpiss.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		There used to be degenerate people just sleeping in it.
unidentified		They were sleeping there, bathing in it, peeing and pooping all over Union Station.
		It's one of the single most beautiful buildings in all of America.
		If you've never seen it, Washington, D.C.'s Union Station is gorgeous.
		And the Trump administration has cleaned it up because the National Guard was deployed for the American people and not for Nancy Pelosi's personal army of protection.
		Anyway, I was able to capture all of this with my Patriot Mobile device.
		Patriot Mobile travels with me everywhere that I go.
		It helps me film on the road, kick that videos, those videos to my team, kick them out on the internet, be locked and loaded.
		It is the number one Christian conservative wireless provider available on all three major U.S. networks nationwide.

		Ladies and gentlemen, let's switch it up and go to Byron Donalds, the next governor of Florida.
		I think that's his preferred pronouns.
		Let's go.
		Byron, what's up, man?
		Benny, how you doing?
		Good.
		Good to see you.
		Okay.
		Okay, looking sharp in the suit.
		I wasn't sure if the government shut down, like cut the wardrobe budget or anything like that for members of Congress.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So good to see.
unidentified		Good to see you.
		Yeah, okay.
		So listen, Nancy Pelosi going viral for this clip of her freaking out about January 6th and the new January 6th committee.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Can you comment on this, Byron?
unidentified		What's going on here?
		And should she be scared?
		Yeah, she should freak out.
		What most people don't know is when we did in the oversight committee, when we were investigating what happened during January 6th, Nancy Pelosi was stonewalling the oversight committee from being able to get all of the information.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		One of the key pieces of testimony we were never able to receive was from the Capitol Police oversight.
unidentified		And this is when she was Speaker of the House.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		The Oversight Committee had two hearings.
unidentified		Capitol Police was never allowed to testify in either hearing, even though they were requested by Republicans.
		And the only person who can control the Capitol Police from not testifying in a hearing is the Speaker of the House, because the Speaker of the House has direct oversight and control of who runs the Capitol Police.
		So one of the key, so another thing that we found out, there are essentially four people that control the security apparatus of the Capitol.
		The Speaker of the House actually is directly overseeing three of those four entities.
		So when she did not allow the head of Capitol Police to testify in the oversight committee, there was a glaring hole of information that wasn't available to the committee.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		She then shut down the oversight committee investigations to create the then prime time soap opera known as the then January 6th committee.
unidentified		So that's why she's afraid of us reconstituting this investigation because we have always believed that one thing is clear is that there were intelligence reports that were given to the Capitol Police before January 6th that would have actually detailed that there should have been a more enhanced security apparatus around the Capitol at that time.
		And then also the fact that the Capitol, the National Guard was deployed by Donald Trump.
		They were authorized by Donald Trump.
		They were on the ground.
		They were on the grounds of Washington, D.C. on January 6th, but they were not allowed at the Capitol.
		And that is a key fact that she never wanted to have come public.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		So I think she's got a lot of things that she's concerned about now that Speaker Johnson is allowing a new investigative committee into everything that went on before, during, and after January 6th.
unidentified		Now, can you just give me a little bit of background?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Are you on this committee, Byron?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
unidentified		Are you requesting to be on this committee?
		What do you think this committee is going to find?
		No, I'm not on the committee.
		It's actually going to be, as I understand it, it's being headed by Barry Lautermilk out of Georgia.
		And Barry has done incredible amounts of work into all of the details around it.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		The reason why I'm so versed in it is because, like I said, I was on the oversight committee when we had two congressional hearings into January 6th.
unidentified		And because of that, you know, I was able to really get into the details on all the things that occurred.
		So what I anticipate is that Chair Lautermilk is going to get into all of the briefings that were provided to the speaker's office through the Capitol Police before January 6th, what the actual security parameters were during January 6th.
		And then what we now all know today was the abuse of power by the Biden Department of Justice, where they were overcharging Americans recklessly while I saw the clip you showed about the Andrew Jackson statue, while other people were just completely ignored.
		You had the Department of Justice that literally didn't throw the book at people.
		They were throwing 10 books at people because they were weaponizing that department for political purposes.
		Yes.
		Okay.
		So we have demonstrable evidence from everyone at the Department of Defense to Police Chief Stephen Sund saying that Nancy Pelosi withheld critical National Guard support on January 6th.
		I've seen the National Guard up close.
		I know you've seen the National Guard up close.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		There would be no January 6th with the National Guard there.
unidentified		It would not have happened.
		I don't care how many federal agents were there.
		I don't care how many Antifa people or BLM people dressed up as MAGA were there.
		I don't care how many RAEPs were there.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		There would have been no riot.
unidentified		There would have been no breach of the Capitol if the National Guard had been deployed.
unidentified		So where does the actual blame lie for January 6th descending into a riot, Byron?
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		I've always believed it falls at the feet of Nancy Pelosi.
unidentified		And here's why.
unidentified		On January 4th, President Trump authorized the deployment of 10,000 National Guard troops to the nation's capital.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		He authorized them.
unidentified		Now, let's also take a step back.
		This is January 4, 2021.
		It's the height of COVID in Washington, D.C. There was really nobody in the nation's capital.
		So on January 4, Donald Trump authorizes 10,000 National Guard troops.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		On January 5, the President of the United States, he actually calls as a follow-up to basically say what's going on with this deployment.
unidentified		Is it happening?
		At that point, there's an engagement with Mario Bowser, the mayor of D.C., where the mayor said she did not want the National Guard armed in the nation's capital.
		She wanted to put them on traffic duty.
		There's a letter that speaks to this.
		Now, let's expand that.
		Like I said, January 4, 2021, there's nobody in Washington because Washington was under a severe COVID lockdown run by the Democrats.
		There was no traffic in Washington, D.C. during this time.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		As somebody who works in D.C., if you've ever been to D.C., there's always traffic.
unidentified		But during COVID, nobody was coming into Washington.
unidentified		So there was no traffic.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		The mayor was putting them on traffic duty when there was no traffic.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		That's how stupid this was.
unidentified		Nancy Pelosi controls the security apparatus at that time because she was Speaker of the House.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		She could have easily had the National Guard on the Capitol grounds.
unidentified		She, for whatever reason, chose not to.
		That is a fact, because if she wanted National Guard troops there, they would have easily been there because they were already deployed in Washington, D.C. on the morning of January 6th.
		And this is how we know Nancy Pelosi has the ability to control the security apparatus.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		Because after January 6th, that's when the metal gates went up around the Capitol complex and they were up for like five months.
unidentified		Nancy Pelosi had the National Guard deployed to the Capitol for five months after, about, I think, three to four or five months after January 6th.
		There were reports that our National Guardsmen were sleeping in parking garages and they weren't getting any food.
		And you had members of Congress taking the National Guard food and started to complain to the speaker, why were you housing them in the parking garages when it's freezing outside at that time?
		And it's not like our hotels in D.C. were full because nobody was coming to Washington, D.C. Interesting that the Democrats will give money to house illegals in hotels, but Nancy Pelosi wouldn't even give that same, give resources to our National Guardsmen to stay in hotels until people started complaining about the treatment that they were getting to be at the at the Capitol post-January 6th.
		So I firmly believe the reason why the National Guard was not there was because Nancy Pelosi didn't want them there.
		And if you talk about the Capitol Police, on January 6th, they had the lightest footprint of any deployment of the Capitol Police that I've been, I've seen in my five and a half years in Congress.
		So that's what went on.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		The person with the real answers is, to me, the head of the Capitol Police and Nancy Pelosi.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		One last thing.
unidentified		And I know I'm going long, Bunny, but this is important.
		Please.
		We had testimony in the oversight committee that there was an intelligence report that was relayed from the FBI to the Capitol Police.
		We have no idea what happened with respect to when the Capitol Police received the intelligence report.
		And this was about 10 days before January 6th.
		And I'm doing this from memory right now, about 10 days before.
		We don't know what the discussion was of the Capitol Police leadership with that intelligence report.
		We don't know what the conversations were between the head of the Capitol Police and the Speaker of the House and the sergeant of arms.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		We have no idea because Nancy Pelosi would never allow them to testify in open hearing.
unidentified		There's so much that we just don't know.
		There's so many mysteries of that day.
		I really do hope for the good of the country that we were able to unravel some of it because this was something that obviously was set to destroy the MAGA movement, the America First movement.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It was designed in order to put President Trump in prison.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		They certainly tried.
unidentified		And there are very curious moments here.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You just brought up like the fact that there's so much evidence that we've never seen before.
unidentified		I assume we'll get that evidence.
		Nancy Pelosi here in this clip, I'll just play you like two seconds, if you'll allow me, Congressman.
		She says, she says, while the crowds are marching to the Capitol, she says, I've been waiting for this trespassing at the U.S. Capitol.
		Oh, he's coming.
		I'm going to punch him out.
		I'm waiting for this for trespassing on the Capitol grounds.
		I'm going to punch him out.
nancy pelosi ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to go to jail.
unidentified		I've been waiting for this trespassing on the Capitol grounds?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		What a weird thing to say.
unidentified		That's what they ended up charging, of course, every January 6th or with.
unidentified		And then everything from AOC, Cower saying she's hiding in her office before the Capitol was even breached, that someone was like banging on her door.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The whole thing, the optics of the whole thing are strange.
unidentified		And it just feels like a setup.
unidentified		Everything from the pipe bomber to being unable to like identify who that individual is to Kamala Harris's movements that day and them never even talking about it or acknowledging it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The whole thing seems just insanely strange.
unidentified		And we just found out that there were almost 300 FBI agents at the Capitol.
		So will we get Congressman finally some answers here about what?
		I believe so.
		Look, I know Barry Lautermilk to be a serious man.
		He is somebody who's really thoroughly investigated this probably more than anybody on Capitol Hill.
		And I think that his committee, I spoke with Speaker Johnson about this maybe about a month ago because I had constituents in my district, some of whom were arrested on January 6th, had to go through some of the kangaroo courts that were set up in the DC district.
		And so they've had questions about this committee.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		I spoke with the speaker.
unidentified		The speaker said they were working through getting it up and running.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		I'm glad to see that it is now up and running.
unidentified		And I know Barry Ladlock is going to get to the bottom of this.
unidentified		So I expect a lot of answers are going to come out of this committee, real answers, not the soap opera stuff that they were trying to push to once again weaponize Congress and weaponize the Justice Department to try to defeat Donald Trump from becoming the 47th president.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		And quite frankly, aren't we all happy that Kamala Harris isn't president?
unidentified		Because it would be an unmitigated disaster if she was.
		That being said, I think the select committee is going to do a tremendous job.
		I have real confidence in Barry Lautermilk that he's going to be able to deliver answers.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Great.
unidentified		Thank you, Congressman.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Last very quick question on this.
unidentified		Does Nancy Pelosi get a chance to testify here?
		Can they call Nancy Pelosi or would that be something that is a no-no in Congress?
		Theoretically, we could.
		I'm not sure where the committee is going to go with that.
		I would love to actually see her under oath to see what she has to say.
		But we'll see.
		I can't really speak to that.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		I think it's going to be much more important to get a lot of the detailed documents from before that day leading up to that afternoon on the Capitol grounds.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		That's going to be critical.
unidentified		And I think the other thing that's going to be critical is a lot of the information post-January 6th, where you had January 6th detainees who were having their constitutional rights violated by the Department of Justice and by the Bureau of Prisons, where they were blocking a lot of these individuals from being able to gather information on their case and actually communicate with their attorneys.
unidentified		And real quick, Benny, I know it's supposed to be a short answer, but it's not, but so much happened here.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		The last thing that really needs to be uncovered is that the radical left in the legal community was blackballing attorneys.
unidentified		They were blackballing attorneys if they decided to represent Americans who were arrested on January 6th.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		That is a heinous, a heinous black stain on the legal community.
unidentified		But that was happening in the United States.
		And obviously it happened for people who were representing either Steve Bannon or et cetera.
		But there's a real cabal in the bar associations around the United States that were blackballing attorneys who decided to represent Americans in a legal proceeding.
		And that's outrageous.
		That needs to be uncovered as well.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Completely outrageous.
unidentified		We, I guess, look forward to all of it.
unidentified		I mean, it's something that we've studied quite a bit.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We spent the last couple of years doing our level-headed best to tell the truth about it.
unidentified		Man, some of these clips have aged like fine wine.
		You've been in many of them, Congressman, and we appreciate your honesty and truth on this subject.
		Since you are running for the governor of Florida, we have to ask you about Attorney General James Uthmeyer, who made a pretty big announcement last night.
		Tonight, we filed a lawsuit against Gavin Newsom in California in the U.S. Supreme Court because of their so-called sanctuary policies that are harming Floridians, used a number of examples, too many to count, of sanctuary city aliens getting driver's license coming to Florida, killing people, harming Floridians.
		And this is obviously a huge problem.
		And now he has posted this little graphic here explaining how California's policies of chaos and allowance of criminal aliens is harming Florida.
		And that's his standing in order to sue California.
		This is pretty interesting.
		What do you stand on this, Byron?
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		I completely agree.
		What California has allowed, and it's not just them, it's Illinois, it's New York as well.
		But what they have allowed has obviously not just led to death on the roadways of Florida, but it's harming Americans all across the country.
unidentified		I would anticipate that attorneys generals around the country are going to join this lawsuit because what needs to occur once and for all, and I think this is something where it's obviously going to fast track to the Supreme Court, but these sanctuary jurisdictions have to be shut down.
		They're in violation of federal immigration law.
		They're in violation of federal law.
		And look, I am a constitutionalist.
		I am a federalist.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		I believe that there are certain powers that the federal government have.
unidentified		Most powers are reserved for the states, but this is not one of them.
		The states have a responsibility to follow federal law when it comes to immigration.
		And you have jurisdictions like California that simply are not.
		That needs to be shut down.
		I completely support this lawsuit against California.
		I would expect other attorneys generals around the country to follow suit and join the suit.
		Would you do a debate with Gavin Newsom over this?
		Of course.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		I mean, come on.
unidentified		Honestly, I don't think he's ready.
		He thinks that he is, but he's not.
		What is the end result here, though?
		A state suing another state?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Help me out.
unidentified		Like, what would the end result mean?
		It would be like the Supreme Court says California can no longer be a sanctuary state.
		That makes a lot of sense to me.
		I don't even understand how that concept works.
		I don't claim to be the smartest guy here, Congressman, or have the highest IQ. I don't have some credential from an Ivy League school, but I can tell you that this is insanity that a bunch of like states just are like, those are federal laws we refuse to follow.
		I thought we settled this question a long time ago that you're not allowed to do that.
		Well, I mean, look, in a government like ours, nothing's ever fully settled.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		You have to constantly enforce these matters over time.
unidentified		And it really requires the will of the people to make sure that they're being followed.
		But in short, yeah, I think this is something that's going to end up at the Supreme Court.
		And the Supreme Court could either render a full and broad decision around blocking sanctuary jurisdictions from existing, or they can do a smaller version around the CDL license issue, which is a real one, and stopping jurisdictions like California and New York from issuing those licenses.
		That's really going to be up to the court, but this is something that's definitely going to go there.
		Okay.
		I have to ask about the bombshell news yesterday at the Supreme Court, since we are talking about it, Section 2, the Voter Rights Act, and some of these districts in the South primarily that have been gerrymandered and rigged based on racial lines, which seems insane to me that that's something that you can even do inside of a democracy like ours.
		It seems patently actually racist to do that by government fiat.
		I can't imagine that happening to any other race.
		And I can't imagine anyone being able to morally justify that.
		Katanji Brown Jackson has tried to do it by saying that black Americans are disabled.
		These are her exact words.
		Here's the headline from Breitpart.
		Katanji Brown Jackson refers to Black Americans as disabled.
		And that's why they need Black Americans need special districts in the South in states that vote for Trump by 40 points in order to have representation.
		Do you agree with this, Congressman?
		No, I don't.
		And look, you have, I'm a black man.
		I represent a white district, predominantly white.
		My district's about 82% white.
		Wesley Hunt, he's a black man.
		He represents a predominantly white district.
		Burgess Owens, he's a black man.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		He represents a predominantly white district.
unidentified		I think one of the attorneys in that case, from what I heard yesterday, was essentially saying like the reason why they had to keep section two is because the data was showing that white Democrats were not voting for black Democrats.
		Well, that's a race issue in the Democrat Party.
		What does that have to do with the rest of the United States?
		I think secondarily, if you're going to talk to the history of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, it is clear that there was definitely a period, a time in our country's history where black people in the United States were discriminated against.
		There was segregation against black people.
		You had poll tests, poll taxes, et cetera.
		And that is why in the 65 Voting Rights Act, Section 2, as well as the other sections were created, because they were needed at a time in our country where you had very deep racial divisions along the lines of segregation and racism.
		That's beyond a fact.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		That's beyond a shadow of a doubt.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		The question in front of the court is, do you need those provisions in today's America?
unidentified		And what I firmly have believed, not just with this one, but with pre-clearance, which is, I believe, section six of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, is that those sections are no longer needed because America is just a very different place today.
		We are not the same country we are in 2025 that we were in 1965 or 1925.
		That is just an empirical fact.
		Nobody should be able to question that, except if you weaponize race for political gain, like the radical left does.
		We're not the same America.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		That is very clear.
unidentified		And that's why I think the Supreme Court is going to do the right thing.
		And they're going to strike down Section 2 of the 1965 Civil Rights Act, the way they struck down, I believe it was Section 6 of the Civil Rights Act, six or five that dealt with pre-clearance.
		And so that's where we're going.
		I think this is a good decision by the, if they make this decision, we'll see what the court does.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		I don't know what they're going to do, but it looks like from the testimony that was happening yesterday, that appears to be the direction that the court is going to go.
unidentified		Bro, is the Democrat Party even real?
		Final question.
		Like between this and the rigging of the census and the counting of criminal aliens in Democrat districts and in places like Illinois and California, between the obscene amount of gerrymandering and cheating, just look at a state.
		Just look at the state maps of Illinois.
		Look at New England.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		There's like not a Republican represented in any of the 13, barely a Republican.
unidentified		I think there's maybe like one or two in the original 13 colonies.
		Yet there's 40% of the vote in New England is Republican.
		You know, that's an obscenity that the entire East Coast goes blue.
		There's not a single Republican representing any of it.
		And 40% of those Republicans are just, you want to talk about disenfranchisement.
		That's disenfranchisement right there.
		And then, you know, and Democrats have just a, you know, you have a one or two seat majority because of it.
		Will Republicans ever wake up and actually like start fighting back and show that this country is actually, I have the map on my wall.
		This is actually a very red country and a very conservative country where Trump won 90% of the counties in America, plus the popular vote in all seven swing states.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Time for Republicans to fight back.
unidentified		Yeah.
		Well, I think that's already happening with what happened in Texas where they redrew those congressional districts.
		You're having that happen, I think, in about seven or eight other states around the country.
		We'll see if Florida does an adjustment.
		We'll see what happens there.
		But yeah, in short, Republicans have decided that, you know what, you got to fight fire with fire.
		Democrats are notorious for gerrymandering their states to the point where there's either a very limited Republican representation or no Republican representation, like Massachusetts.
		In Illinois, in southern Illinois, they created a congressional district that looks like a sword or a spike simply because they wanted to make another Democrat district.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		If you look at Illinois' maps, they basically put Chicago into strips and run the strips out to the suburban areas just so they can get more Democrats elected to Congress in Illinois.
unidentified		So the Democrats have been at this game for a long time.
		Republicans, frankly, under the leadership of Donald Trump, are finally getting into this game.
		And I will add, you have to give great credit to Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida from the work he did in our last redistricting effort, because that actually, in my view, in a lot of people's views, it actually helped us have a House majority by the work that Governor DeSantis did when we redistricted Florida.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		Last point I'll make on this.
unidentified		And again, in the oversight committee, we had a bill last Congress that would have changed how we do the apportionment of congressional districts.
		And it basically would have said that we will count everybody in the country per the Constitution, but for the purposes of setting congressional districts, we will only count American citizens and naturalized citizens, those who have the ability to vote in our elections.
		And when that bill was proposed in the oversight committee, people should go find the hearing on that.
		That was one of the craziest hearings I've ever been in.
		And I've been in some doozies because the Democrats were basically saying that there is no way they could allow that to happen.
		And our response was, so you want illegal aliens to be counted for the purpose of setting congressional districts?
		And their answer is basically yes.
		Yes, they want illegals to be used for the purposes of setting congressional districts for American citizens.
		It's outrageous the stance that the Democrats have taken.
		So to your point earlier, like, are they even real?
		I actually think the answer is no.
		I think that you have probably a lot of old school Democrats who believe in some of the old principles of that party.
		They're good people.
		They're Americans.
		They love this country.
		They might disagree on policy with us, us Republicans and conservatives, but there is a strain of radicalism.
		It's really European socialist radicalism in that party.
		And that's what leads the Democrats right now.
		And that's why they're going to continue to lose elections because they have chosen radicalism over the American people.
		We have the congressional district that you're talking about right here.
		There it is.
		Show that, Klein.
		Thank you.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I don't know why it's so hard to find an Illinois congressional map, but here we go.
unidentified		There it is.
		Look at this district that Byron's talking about.
		Look at this one right here.
		He's talking about the little skinny, like scorpion-tailed district that goes from East St. Louis to Champaign, Illinois, where the university is.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Look at that.
unidentified		Look at that.
unidentified		I mean, there are so many atrocious districts here that you could talk through.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This looks like, you know, you got little kids.
unidentified		I got little kids.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This looks like my kids were like coloring.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		My three-year-old was coloring in her book over like a gravel road when he was drawing this district.
unidentified		I think J.B. Prisker has actually made that joke.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		He's like made jokes that like he has little autistic children like color in the districts.
unidentified		He made that joke on Colbert.
		Look at that thing.
		That is a, that is, that is such an insult.
		It's crazy.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That is crazy.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		What they did with this one, I think Southern Illinois is Springfield where the state capitol is.
unidentified		Yeah.
		And it goes to Champaign, like you said.
		So they basically wrote a district for the state capitol.
		And I think Champaign's what?
		University of Illinois, whatever.
		Because I'm not totally familiar with Illinois.
		So that's what they did.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		The red around that, that's actually Mary Miller's district.
		We used to have two Republicans in southern Illinois.
		They drew that district to force a primary fight.
unidentified		Now Mary Billers represents Southern Illinois.
byron donalds ▲ ● ▼		But that's what they did in Illinois.
unidentified		It's crazy.
		Them in Massachusetts are probably the most gerrymandered.
		New York tried to do an even worse map, but even the state Supreme Court in New York said you can't do that.
		Wow.
		Like that's how far the Democrats have tried to push this thing.
		And so it's really, it's really bad.
		Republicans have gotten into the game, thankfully.
		And I think the key thing is going to be the census when it's done.
		That's going to be critical.
		And the president of the United States, when the next census is done, is going to be incredibly important to the future of the congressional makeup of this country.
		And I'll add, I think that when we're talking about setting congressional districts for apportionment, you can't count illegal aliens.
		They don't have the right to vote in our country.
		But that's what the Democrats want to do.
		And more people need to be speaking on that point.
		What a map.
		I mean, look at that.
		You can see right here in the map, so Byron called out this state, the way that Illinois is run.
		You can see like four or five, maybe six Democrat seats that should not exist, that have just been carved into existence by blatant, obscene cheating in Illinois.
		Just show people that map when they say that Republicans cheat.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Just show people this map.
unidentified		Thank you, Byron.
		Godspeed, man.
		I look forward to seeing you on the road here in a couple of weeks.
		We're going to be doing some events in Florida.
		We'll announce them a little closer to the event dates.
		Here's Byron Donalds' X account.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Obviously, you're probably already following him, but you should jump in there.
unidentified		He's got millions of followers here on X, the next governor of Florida, Byron Donalds.
		Thank you, Benny.
		it easy oh baby grand jury expected to indict john bolton for transmitting classified documents As you know, I have been on a red eye this morning.
		I left New York.
		I got up in New York bright and early, a little before 5 a.m., caught a car out to the airport to be back home to you and to be doing our show from the comfort of our studio.
		We always love that.

		Blackout Coffee is just damn good coffee made here by Americans for Americans.

		It's packed full of sugar.
		It's not good for you.
		Blackout coffee, 100% natural roasted right here in America by American patriots.

		Okay, let's go ahead and read here, shall we?
		A federal grand jury convened on Wednesday afternoon to consider charges against former National Security Advisor John Bolton over his alleged sharing of highly sensitive classified material on a private server.
		Everything old is new again.
		Everything new is old again.
		And it circles round and round.
		Time is a flat circle.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The proceeding comes two months after the FBI agents raided Bolton's suburban home in Maryland, in Washington, D.C., to search for evidence.
unidentified		The Trump critics proposed theft of highly sensitive national security information, which he obviously, obviously did.
		He's John Bolton.
		Justice Department officials expected an indictment to be handed up early Wednesday or Thursday, that would be today, with one telling the post that the case against the 76-year-old is airtight.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Bolton is accused of using a private AOL email address to transmit classified information and record diary-like notes in his daily activities and assessments throughout the time as President Trump's first administration.
unidentified		The account was hacked by an unidentified foreign entity at some point, according to the probable cause warrant unsealed last month, meaning that some of the secret information may have ended up in the hands of foreign governments or bad actors.
		The warrant redacted other information related to the hack.
		Goodness.
		Investigators also found classified information during their raids with agents confiscating documents related to weapons of mass destruction, U.S. mission to the United Nations, government strategic communication, secret travel memos, according to court records.
		Goodness.
		Even if Bolton had no intention of releasing the information, he could be held liable.
		The sensitive documents were left lying around where anyone could walk into his house and get it.
		A legal provision that applies to his personal email account as well.
		Well, I mean, I didn't like what, you know, what do you want from me?
		This is exactly what they got.
		This is exactly what they tried to get Trump for in raiding Mar-a-Lago.
		It's amazing.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The weapons that are formed against you.
unidentified		It's crazy, man.
		Okay, well, ladies and gentlemen, this is what's going on with John Bolton.
		It is beautiful to see justice in Washington, D.C. And I guess we'll see it today.
		Hopefully, with Bolton, we didn't see justice with Big Balls, which makes me really angry, actually.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This story has my blood boiling.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Teen who jumped Doge staffer Edward Big Balls Corstantine avoid jail, sentenced simply to probation.
unidentified		They left Big Balls bloody and lying in the street.
		And two youths in Washington, D.C., who beat him within an inch of his life, pled guilty to simple assault.
		A boy and a girl, both 15, from Hyattsville, Maryland, were sentenced to probation by a D.C. judge.
		Totally and completely insane ruling that obviously has deep political ramifications.
		The judge is a massive DEI hire Biden appointee.
		Judge Kendra Briggs has allowed two teens, two youths, as Trump would say, who beat up an administration staffer to avoid jail.
		Her job is to rehabilitate, not punish.
		Dude, the court systems are so broken.
		The court systems are so broken.
		Here's Big Balls.
		Explaining what happened to him and what happened that day.
		Do we have that clip, Alex?
		No?
		Give me that clip of Big Balls explaining what happened that day because I want to like, he was on Jesse Waters.
		Pretty awesome interview.
		Trump explaining that he's pretty angry about this, along with Caroline Levitt, who said one of the big issues in D.C. is these juveniles, they get a slap on the wrist.
		This is what Carolyn Levitt said yesterday.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This administration has completely different philosophy.
unidentified		We need law and order.
		Their accomplices in the attempted carjacking and assault in a D.C. parking garage remain at large.
		Okay, so they get, so they have accomplices.
		They know who they are.
		They haven't been arrested yet.
		And the people who left this young man bloodied and beaten are just set free.
		This is how you get a, this is a failed state.
		This is how you get a failed state.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is how you get a zero trust society.
unidentified		It's just BLM and Antifa riots all over again.
		This is precisely what happened.
		That's how we started off the show.
		I hope you can figure things out and be ready for consequences.
		He told the defendants via video link and thank the courts and the police for their quick work.
		So what are the consequences?
		You know, the consequences are not these guys going free.
		Can they be charged in federal court?
		I mean, could you bring like federal?
		This happened in D.C., right?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So could the DOJ charge?
unidentified		So are these like, just the local charges?
		Very interesting.
		I need to study this a little more.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Producers, like brief me on this.
unidentified		Are these just local?
		Are they this like the local attorney and the judge just wasn't able to and we just got a bad judge?
		Is that what happened?
		Because it is in DC, so I guess it'd all have to be federal.
		I'm just wondering if there's like a superseding charge that perhaps you could actually like, you know, get him on something.
		Anyway, here's President Trump on Big Balls.
		Here in D.C., a judge has given the two teenagers that beat up ex-Doge staffer Big Balls scalpation.
		It's incredible.
		And no jail time.
		That's justice.
		Janine Pirro is doing a fantastic job and she is beside herself because you have these radical left judges that they beat the hell out of this guy.
		And there was many people against this one guy who was really trying to protect his girlfriend.
		He didn't want to hooded over the door because, but they really beat him up badly.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		That just happened, right?
unidentified		Wow.
		That's terrible.
		I think the judge should be ashamed of himself.
		That's a big problem.
		You know, they can do their job and then they go into a court and the people are protected by this.
		I don't know where they come from.
		Where did these people come from?
		Where do these judges come from?
		I want to compliment on behalf of Pam and Todd and all of us because, Cash, I think that Janine has done a fantastic job.
		And the case I heard was like flawless.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		It's a flawless case.
unidentified		They have them on tape.
		They have everything.
		And then the judge gives them a little probation.
		These are rough guys.
		And they're young.
		And if that happens, they're going to grow up.
		They're going to be real bad.
		They're going to cause a lot of problems.
		Yeah, please.
		makes you angry why You know, the purpose of running DC, like a hellscape like this, is to diminish the amount of big balls, Edward Corsentines, who want to serve in the federal government.
		Why would you ever allow your son?
		You don't want your son coming home looking like this.
		Why would you ever allow your son to go work in Washington, D.C.?
		Why would any good person want to work in DC? Why would any good-hearted American want to come to this lawless hellscape where this can happen to you and nothing happens to the assailants?
		That is the goal.
		That is the intended purpose here.
		To signal, good people do not come to D.C. We'll maim you, we'll kill you, we'll beat you, and nothing will happen to the criminals.
		This is exactly the same racket they tried to run with Charlie Kirk's murder and assassination.
		Don't worry, nothing will happen.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We'll protect them.
unidentified		Jimmy Kimmel, it was like a MAGA guy.
		Don't worry.
		Go do more of it.
		It's totally evil, ladies and gentlemen.
		Just a few minutes of Big Balls and his one and only interview talking about this.
		And this man's a hero.
		He deserves, he also deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
		I've asked that at the White House.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We'll see what happens.
jesse watters ▲ ● ▼		You shouldn't need Big Balls to feel safe.
unidentified		Edward Corstine joins me now.
		So what happened that night?
		Yeah, I was hanging out with a group of my friends late at night.
		And at about 3 a.m., we were wrapping up.
		And I was walking one of my friends back to her car.
		And as we're walking to the car, there's a group of 10 guys right across the street.
		And as we get to the car and she begins to fumble for the keys, they start shouting at us.
		And really quickly, I knew something was really off about the situation.
		So she unlocks the car.
		I rush her into the driver's seat.
		She's able to close the door behind her and lock the doors.
		And, you know, they, right as I turn around, they run up on me.
		They're just a few feet away.
		And they slam me against the car.
		They start throwing a bunch of punches.
		I keep my hands up.
		I'm just like, all right, I'm getting a lot of punches here.
		I'm going to just try to protect my head the best way that I can.
		And, you know, luckily, the whole thing didn't last too long.
edward coristine ▲ ● ▼		The police showed up pretty quickly.
unidentified		So I was very fortunate.
edward coristine ▲ ● ▼		I only came out with a broken nose and a concussion.
unidentified		It could have been a lot worse.
		Oh, my God.
		All right.
jesse watters ▲ ● ▼		So they were wailing on you.
unidentified		Did they get you down on the ground?
unidentified		No, no.
edward coristine ▲ ● ▼		I knew that if I got down on the ground, it'd get way worse.
unidentified		So I made, I was like, all right, no matter what, I just have to stay on my feet.
		All right.
		So stay on your feet.
		You protect the head because you know what?
		Big balls also has big brains.
		And that's very important.
		And you saved this lady friend of yours.
		You kind of saved more than her car.
		You might have saved her life.
		Yeah, it was a really bad situation.
		And, you know, the carjacking didn't make a lot of sense because it was like the cheapest car on the block.
		So it felt like there might have been something else going on there.
		Okay.
		Well, you're a brave guy and you're a lucky guy.
		And we're glad you're okay.
		And in a way, it kind of triggered a big crime crackdown in D.C. And in a way, you've saved a lot of lives in D.C. Why did you come down to DC in the first place?
		Well, I feel this great responsibility to serve my country.
edward coristine ▲ ● ▼		My grandfather was this KGB double agent for the Americans.
unidentified		And he died so that I could come here and live in this free country that I love so much.
		And so when I started seeing these problems that we've got as a government, like this $37 trillion national debt and counting, and the interest on that is just like absurd, I was like, wow, this is insane.
		Is there any way that I can help solve this?
		And in this administration, there was a chance.
		So, of course, when I saw the opportunity, I signed right up.
		So you got the big ones from your grandfather?
		I think I did.
		Yeah.
		He was a double agent.
		What exactly was he doing?
		Well, he worked for Line X, which is like this sophisticated KGB line, but he actually joined the CIA and he gave the CIA a bunch of valuable intel right around the Cold War.
		Wow.
		What a patriot.
		Yeah.
		Elon Musk, also a patriot.
		You saw him shake hands with the president the other day.
		How did you feel about it?
		All right, ladies and gentlemen.
		Did you hear that?
		I don't know about the whole CIA thing.
		I don't know the kid, right?
		I don't know the kid.
		You're going to have to ask ALX. You're going to have to ask ALX. I don't know the kid.
		ALX does, though.
		ALX, where's our exclusive interview with the big balls?
		I would love to get that interview set up.
		Come on, ALX. Let's go.
		Exactly what we were talking about.
		Young men are just not going to be serving their country if this is the way that they're treated in the military, in Washington, D.C., that's the point.
		They're trying to prove a point here.
		But hopefully we can fight back on this one.
		We'll see, ladies and gentlemen.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We will see.
unidentified		Right.
		Now it is Medicare's annual enrollment period.
		It's a very big deal.
		Every single year, millions of seniors, 64 and older, face the same challenge.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Choosing the right Medicare plan can be overwhelming and sometimes bonkers.
unidentified		And well, you want to make sure that you're not being taken advantage of.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		If you're already on Medicare or enrolling soon, talk to someone who's actually on your side, somebody who can help you with what plan will work best for you in 2026.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		And remember, plans change every single year.
unidentified		So you need people that you can trust.
		You need to talk to chapter.
		Chapter can help you, on average, save thousands of dollars per year.
		This is the kind of stuff that isn't fun to deal with, but chapter can make it easy for you.
		They can review your Medicare options today in 20 minutes.
		Plan that's best for you in 2026.
		Chapter will help you switch.
		So speak today to a trusted chapter advisor by dialing pound 250 and say the word savings to take control of your healthcare.
		That's pound 250.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Say the keyword savings and speak to someone at chapter today.
unidentified		All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's go to Wesley Hunt, who has some big announcements since he was last on the program.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		He'll be running.
unidentified		He's running for Senate in the state of Texas.
		I'm very proud of him for that.
		It's something that obviously we need to preserve our red states.
		We have been traveling to a lot of blue states.
		We've been to Illinois.
		We've been to Portland.
		I just got back from New York this morning.
		It's good to fight on offense in states like that, but there's no such thing as a permanent blue state.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		There's no such thing as a permanent red state.
unidentified		You must be constantly vigilant in a state like Florida and in a state like Texas.
unidentified		The left would love nothing more than to steal a Senate seat or a congressional seat in these red kingdoms, and we're not going to let it happen.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Wesley Hunt is the man with the plan to stop it.
unidentified		Here we go.
		Congressman, welcome back to the program and a very happy Thursday morning to you.
		Congratulations on the Senate announcement.
		Why don't we start with that?
		What's the state of the race?
		I think we're looking pretty good, brother.
		You know me.
		I mean, I wouldn't have gotten in this race if I didn't see a clear path for us to be the next senator from the great state of Texas.
		And I tell you what, I think that the people here in Texas, specifically the primary voters, they're looking for someone like me who is a young patriot, who is an America first fighter.
		Keep in mind that President Trump won the great state of Texas by 15 points, which means that this is absolutely MAGA country.
		And as the first person in the country to endorse President Trump on November the 15th, 2022, I was one of his day ones, especially on this last run.
		I was a surrogate for the president, traveled all over the country with the president.
		I was one of his top surrogates all over the country.
		I caucused for him in Iowa.
		I think that's the kind of America first fighter that people want to see here in Texas.
		And quite frankly, before I got in the race, I was already polling in the low 20s against a 24-year incumbent.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		Been around for 24 years.
unidentified		You know, when John Corden first got elected to office, brother, I was actually playing Little League soccer, Pop Warner football, drinking Capri Sons, drinking Ecto Cooler in orange slices when he first got into this seat.
		And I think it's time for the next generation of leadership, like us, brother, to step into the fray and to lead for the future for the America first agenda.
		Our Secretary of State is in his early 50s.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		Our Secretary of War is in his mid-40s.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		Our vice president is 41 years old.
unidentified		And you know what this resembles?
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		It resembles our founding fathers that were in their 20s and 30s that fought for the very soul of this nation.
unidentified		And we are in the exact same place this year at this time.
		And it's time for us to step up and get into the fight.
		And that's why I announced my candidacy for the United States Senate.
		I just love that answer.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It's exactly the right answer because when you stick around in politics too long, and I, you know, like, listen, I do have a couple things against John Cornyn.
		I don't like his stance on the Second Amendment.
		I don't like, he's attacked us on like you.
unidentified		Through the Biden era, he would like constantly be attacking us, like his team on social media, which is an insane thing to do.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		He is obviously trying to be anti-Trump during that era, thinking that they could maybe reconstitute the Bush era.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That's never coming back.
unidentified		Like the McCain, Romney, Bush loser era is never coming back.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		America First is here and it's here to stay.
unidentified		And with that means an entire new generation of Republican Party that isn't going to be pushed around or cowed by the left into, well, permanent minority status in politics because we are the majority in this country.
		It's great to see people like actually straight up say it.
		And I'll tell you one anecdotal story.
		Yeah.
		Okay.
		So beside all the, like, beside weirdly coming after us on social media, which is just such a small, like petty thing to do.
		There's nothing.
		I mean, you know, it's tough to be a conservative influencer out there without having like the Republican senator from Texas coming after you.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Like, I watched this guy at the RNC. So it's like, I got to like sit back in the RNC and sort of like see how people see how like various members of Congress and like people move.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You're the like senior senator from Texas at the Republican National Convention.
unidentified		You should be loud and proud, man.
		You should be like rolling.
		You should be strutting.
		You should be rolling in.
		You should be, you know, mighty from this state and from the proud Republic of Texas.
		Dude, like nobody even recognized him.
		He was just shuffling around.
		Nobody even knew him.
		Like there was no energy.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It was like, it was, it was an affront to what everything that I believe Texas is, right?
unidentified		And so that's just my story.
unidentified		So I'd love to see him out and I want to add to that too.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		You know, let's talk about the RNC. There are two people from Texas that actually spoke at the RNC. That was myself and it was the great senator Ted Cruz.
unidentified		Senator Cornyn didn't even get his speaking slot at the RNC and he is the senator from Texas.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		That's really all you need to know.
unidentified		The party has left him.
		He is a Bush era Republican and it is clear that the primary voter wants to see something different.
		You know, brother, imagine spending $25 million over the course of the past few months and still being in second place.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		Imagine being a 24-year incumbent, polling in the low 30s and bragging about it when you should be in the 60s, 70s, or 80s.
unidentified		I can tell you right now that in a Republican primary, Ted Cruz is probably polling in the 80s and 90s, and nobody's going to be able to touch him.
unidentified		In fact, Ted Cruz won't even get a primary voter, a primary at all, because a primary challenger at all, because you know what?
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		He votes with Texas.
unidentified		He stands with Texas.
		And when I got into this race, something that was very interesting, brother, and that is, you know, Ken Pax's team did not attack me at all.
		The people that attacked me were John Cornyn's team.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		I found it to be very, very interesting.
unidentified		You know, they said that Wesley is a legend in his own mind, which I think is absolutely hilarious because these are people that have never served this country a day in their lives.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		They were never shot at by a Russian May 50 caliber Dishka.
unidentified		They did not fly 55 combat air missions in Baghdad.
		They did not go to West Point.
		And they are attacking me.
		And I'm somebody that's willing to die for this country.
		And I found it to be very interesting.
		And it really lit a fire under my behind because at the end of the day, I realized this is exactly what I need to be doing.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		I am literally firing for effect.
unidentified		I am right over the target zone if I'm pissing off the right people.
		And that's exactly the kind of fighter that Texans want to see.
		I can show you why they're attacking you.
		Here's the data right here.
		So this is the Senate run.
		You are polling the strongest of anyone against the Democrat that they want to put into this Senate seat.
		And Texas is always scary close.
		Doesn't matter who's running.
		It's always a little too close for comfort for me.
		And you're looking great in these polls.
		And I think Republicans are going to see that.
		Well, the reason why it's so important too, Benny, is because this is an off-cycle election, and the President Trump is not going to be on top of the ticket.
		And turnout is going to be very, very low.
		And that's why we have to be concerned.
		Look, if this were a presidential year with Trump on top of the ticket, I really wouldn't be too concerned about it.
		But that is absolutely not the case.
		And we have got to keep this seat red.
		And at the end of the day, I am already outperforming my two competitors.
		And, bro, this was taken and this was done.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		This poll was done before I even got in the race.
unidentified		What we need is an America first fighter that can win the primary, that the primary voter appreciates, respects, and loves because of my conservative bona fides, and also somebody that can easily win the general election without the party spending hundreds of millions of dollars.
		See, this is what you call a no-brainer.
		And I think when given the option, the Republican primary voter is going to look at me and look at someone like me and look at the future and think about the future and say, you know what?
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		This is the right kind of guy that can lead us into the future, you know, for the next few terms.
unidentified		And that's why I love the fact that, you know, brother, we're, you know, we're on the high end of the millennial scale.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		This is why it's so important for us to give our best years, our strongest years.
unidentified		You know, the years that I could be out in private industry making a lot of money, I'm coming back to continue to serve my country.
		And my job is to do this: arrive, raise hell, and leave, just like Stone Cold Steve Austin used to do back through attitude area and WWE, and then allow somebody else to step into the fray and follow up and follow me.
		Because this is not about being a career politician.
		This is not turning this into a retirement home waiting for the early bird special.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		This is about me serving this country in the vein of my founding fathers and arriving, doing exactly what's right for the American people and for Texas, and then leaving it for the next generation to step into the fray because I do not want to do this for the rest of my life.
unidentified		How about we term limit John Cornyn since these people refuse to sign a term limit pledge?
unidentified		I would love to see that because I hate to see if it's anyone, whether it's Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi or Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, 50 years.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I've been in Congress 50 years.
unidentified		I mean, it's crazy.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We spent the morning talking about Nancy Pelosi snapping on that reporter, losing her mind over, you know, it's just spiraling into senility because she's been there for so long and it's just so corrupting.
unidentified		And by the way, none of these people have young children.
		And there's something deeply motivating when you have little kids and you go home to them and you want to preserve this country for them rather than being in a nursing home.
		It's a totally different motivation.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You're exactly right.
unidentified		And we need more of it.
		You rightly listed Secretary of War, the vice president, as people who are strongly in that camp of wanting to just save America for our children.
		That's correct.
		And you and I get to go home and see this every single day.
		A lot of these guys haven't seen their children be small for 40 or 50 years.
		And so now they've completely lost touch because, quite frankly, they're going to make laws that they aren't going to see come to fruition.
		And then therefore, they don't care about being a part of the uniparty, war-mongering Rhino class.
		They don't really care because, quite frankly, their children are grown and they're just trying to sit back and get rich.
		You and I have to look at our little babies every single day.
		And by the way, you have a very beautiful family.
		And I know you had a tough week last week, but what I know, the first thing you were thinking about is how do I protect my family?
		And that instinct is exactly what I want to bring to the United States Senate.
		How do I protect my children's future?
		Again, we are running, we have a $37 trillion deficit.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		We are running a $2 trillion annual deficit.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		We are spending more money than we spend on defense to service the debt.
unidentified		Think about that, to service the debt on our deficit.
		That's unbelievably terrible, not for us, but for our kiddos.
		And every time we leave them and kiss them goodbye, I know that my heart's in the right place to preserve a more perfect constitutional republic for them.
		So let's talk about preserving that republic.
		Very interesting thing happened yesterday in the Supreme Court.
		It was a bad day for Section 2 of the Voter Rights Act that effectively gerrymanders based on race and makes up Democrat districts in the South based on extremely antiquated, you know, 50, 60, and 70 year old or 100-year-old laws of days gone by.
		And this thing was just decimated in the Supreme Court.
		There was really not a great argument for it.
		And the left is, of course, ready to lose their mind.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		They're also ready to lose potentially a swing of 24 different seats if they're able to get rid of Section 2 of the Voter Rights Act, which I would argue they absolutely should because it's government-mandated, it's government-mandated racism, no matter what way you look at it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Katanji Brown Jackson, my favorite, one of the smartest people.
unidentified		She doesn't know what a woman is, but she does know that black Americans are disabled.
		No, no, two Harvard degrees.
		Can't tell you right between a man and a woman.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		Unbelievable.
unidentified		What does that mean?
		This is her in her own words.
		Katanji Brown Jackson refers to black Americans as disabled during a Supreme Court hearing arguing that black Americans without these special lines drawn wouldn't be able to vote.
		Your take on this, Congressman?
		See, this is the example of the liberal mind virus.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		This is an example of the soft bigotry of low expectations.
unidentified		And I recognize what happened in this country, 150 years ago.
unidentified		I think you've heard me say this before.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		My great-great-grandfather was born on a plantation.
		His great-great-grandson, me, is a United States Congressman in a white majority district that President Trump would have won by 20 points and I won by 27 points.
		I think we are way beyond slavery.
unidentified		I think we are way beyond Jim Crow.
		And while this country has a checkered past, by the way, like every single civilized nation has a checkered past in the form of slavery and addictive servitude, at the end of the day, we have come a very long way.
		And I'm a prime example of that.
		Look, I am like the Democrats' worst nightmare.
		I want to be here because I don't want to be judged not by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character.
		And that's why I get to be a congressman in a white majority district.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		And quite frankly, as a Republican, nobody really cares what I look like.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		They care about how I'm going to vote.
unidentified		They care about securing the border.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		They care about our economy.
unidentified		Here in Texas, they care about the oil and gas industry.
		And how you look has absolutely nothing to do with it.
		And what I cannot stand about liberals is they think that black and brown people are too stupid to get an ID to vote.
		They think that black and brown people are still going to vote Democrat because that's how we've done for the past few decades.
		And they don't realize that they are hemorrhaging black men because one in three black men in this last election voted for President Trump.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		What they have to understand is we want to be respected just like everybody else.
unidentified		I don't want to be handicapped.
		I don't want your gratis.
		What I want you to do is look at me and say, does this guy have grit, hard work, determination?
		And if so, you can be somebody in this great nation.
		And what I don't understand is this.
		If black people are handicapped so bad, and if black people can't be successful, and if white supremacy still exists, let me ask you a question.
		How did I get here?
		Why do I exist?
		And while the Democrats sit there and call me, oh, Wesley, you don't get it.
		Oh, Wesley, you're my Uncle Tom.
		You're this, you're that.
		Here's what I push back with.
		The people here in the great state of Texas recognize this.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		I'm a West Point graduate, flew 55 combat airbitches in Baghdad, learned how to fly the most sophisticated helicopter that's ever existed, the A-64 Delta Apache, earned three master's degrees in four years from an Ivy League school, and I love my country.
unidentified		That's all they care about.
		And Democrats hate hearing that because that's called merit.
		It's the exact opposite of DEI. I don't ever want to be given anything because of the way I look.
		And I hate seeing a black woman who is a Supreme Court justice sit there and spew these kinds of liberal lies.
		And as somebody that has two Harvard degrees, she should literally just say, Look, I'm probably a pretty smart person.
		I have two Harvard degrees.
		And yet she reverts back to being a victim as a Supreme Court justice.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		She is still a victim.
unidentified		Last I checked, there are a lot of white people that are not Supreme Court justices.
unidentified		I say, let's get over it.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		Let's get in this boat together.
unidentified		Let's start rowing in the right direction.
		And let's talk about what it means to be an American.
		Such a great answer.
		I just got to tell you, Congressman, what if I were to say that on this program, how quickly we'd be canceled, right?
		Like, if that were my contention, I can't believe this was argued from the Supreme Court.
		I also can't believe that Katanji Brown Jackson is saying, I don't know what a woman is.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I guess I can.
unidentified		She said, I'm not a biologist.
		She said, I'm not a biologist.
		Yeah, but like, if I were to be like black, all black Americans are disabled.
		What?
		Like, it's like, what?
		Taking all the good parking spots.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Like, what do you mean?
unidentified		Like, what are you talking about exactly?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It's so patently offensive to everyone.
unidentified		It'd be offensive to say about any group of people.
		But, like, what era are we?
		What are we doing here exactly?
		I would just love what is Clarence Thomas's response.
		I really wish I was at this room court to see Clarence Thomas's reaction to this.
		You know, and that's really interesting, too.
		You know, Clarence Thomas has been around since the early 90s.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I mean, Clarence Thomas has been black for way longer than I have.
unidentified		And that guy is a Supreme Court justice and did it back before he was even popular.
		I mean, this guy has been around for a very long time.
		And he actually grew up in the same segregated South that my parents grew up in.
		And I think we always talk about Morgan Freeman's quote as well.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		He's like, you know, do you want Black History Month?
		He goes, I don't want it.
		I just want History Month.
unidentified		Now, keep in mind that Morgan Freeman was old back when Driving Miss Daisy was done.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		So do you know how old he is today?
unidentified		Because Drive Miss Daisy was a very long time ago, and he was old then.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		That guy grew up in a segregated Mississippi and he has had the honor of playing God in movies.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		He has played the president in movies.
unidentified		He's done various voiceovers and he's been black for a very long time because he understands that this is the only country in the world to where your race doesn't matter anymore.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		Are you good or are you not?
unidentified		And the thing about Democrats is this: they want to continue to keep the black vote under their thumb by thinking that black people are a victim and that white people are the people that are suppressing us to keeping everybody down.
		And you know what, Benny?
		You should be able to say whatever you want.
		And so if you want to say what I just said on your show, I will gladly sit next to you as your black friend.
		And I will gladly say he gets to say whatever he want and whatever he wants.
		Not only that, I completely agree with him.
		We have a man who was just murdered and assassinated for saying exactly that.
		For sitting there and telling the truth, telling his truth, trying to have a conversation, sitting under a tent that said, prove me wrong.
		And by the way, if you listen to what he was saying, the dude was not wrong and he is dead because of it.
		And now it is up to you and I to continue to fight against that, not as a white guy or as a black guy, but as brothers, but as Americans, as people that believe in this country as equals, as God created us.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		This is the whole point of this construct and continuing to move it forward.
unidentified		And you know what?
		I really hope Democrats continue to behave this way.
		And I really hope that they continue to not be able to identify the difference between a man and a woman, because that's the sanity check that we all want.
		If you can't tell me the difference between a man and a woman, then guess what?
		I don't want to hear about your policy.
		I don't want to hear about your ideas on Medicare.
		I don't want to hear about your ideas on the border because you can't answer a very simple question.
		What's the difference between a man and a woman?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Keep it up.
unidentified		That's exactly right.
		Two really quick things there, Congressman.
		One, yeah, Morgan Freeman has played all those incredible roles.
		You missed the CEO of Wayne Enterprises.
		That's right.
		Very important.
		That's right.
		Very important.
		We would never have had Dark Knight.
		That's right.
		Without Morgan Freeman.
		Come on, man.
		Yes, that's true.
		Very important role.
		And yeah, that wouldn't happen in a racist America.
		You got to understand.
		It wouldn't happen in a racist Gotham.
		I mean, he played the black president when there was a comet that was coming to the earth that was going to destroy everything.
		I mean, imagine that kind of pressure, you know?
		It's true.
		Bruce Almighty is a great movie, too.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It is a fantastic movie.
unidentified		Okay.
		Since you brought up Charlie, I just want to end with this because I was talking with Rokani yesterday about it.
		And it was like, you know, it was hard for me to like break through on this note.
		There are Democrats in Congress that just refuse, like they just refuse to do the moral thing and vote to disavow violence, like say that Charlie, what happened to Charlie was wrong.
		AOC and Ilhan Omar are among them.
		Now that they've seen a little bit of traction, they've then gone out to the media and have been just savaging Charlie and his legacy and his memory.
		It stings.
		We were just at the White House for that Medal of Freedom ceremony.
		And obviously, like we're close to Erica, we're close to the family.
		We're close to the entire universe and we were close to Charlie.
		I don't want that in my politics.
		Like I want there to be some extra humanity.
		I want there to be humanity and room for that.
		But you can't unite with evil and you can't make peace with people that want to kill you.
		And so what's to be done here, Congressman?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Because unlike most members of Congress, you've actually faced down people that want to kill you.
unidentified		How would you approach this current moment?
		Well, you know, we have to keep praying.
		This is spiritual warfare that we are engaging in.
		You are correct.
		It is pure evil to watch someone get assassinated in that vein is something that we can't ever forget.
		And I'm going to give you an example, brother, to give you a little bit of hope.
		You see, my wife and my three kids, they went out to a farm.
		It's called Dewberry Farms.
		It's not far from Houston, Texas.
		And they went up there to kind of go to a pumpkin patch and to kind of hang out with their grandparents who came down from Iowa.
		And my wife came back and reported that all she saw around Dewberry Farms right outside a suburb here of Houston, Texas, are freedom shirts and MAGA hats and people that are standing up and standing up for Charlie and young people that are stepping up and thousands and thousands and thousands of college-age students that want to continue the path and the hope of turning point and people realizing that freedom isn't free and people are going to die for it.
		But if we don't make sure that their deaths are in vain, then what are we living for?
		And the hope that we are seeing is actually coming straight to fruition.
		Charlie's name is bigger than it ever could have been.
		More people have heard of his name now than ever could have heard it.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		And the Lord works in mysterious ways.
unidentified		And the reason why that I'm actually running for Congress and running for Senate and why I stay in the fight is because I've lost a lot of West Point classmates and I've lost a lot of friends in war.
		And I get up every single day and realize that we are here because we're standing on the shoulders of giants, the people that shed blood for our freedom.
		We get to wake up every single day and put our feet on free-solvent American soil and breathe free solvent American air because our fellow Americans actually died for it.
		People like Charlie actually died for our freedoms to be able to speak freely and have our own religion and practice our own Christianity and love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		People like him died for it.
unidentified		My West Point classmates died for it.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		And we will not ever allow their sacrifice to be in vain.
unidentified		And that's all we can do is look to the future, trust Jesus, and realize that he is in control and he will always turn what was meant for evil into good.
		Beautiful words and totally correct.
		Ladies and gentlemen, if you want more correct and hot takes, you got to follow Wesley Hunt right here.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		He's got nearly 500,000 subscribers on X. He's running for Senate in the great state of Texas.
unidentified		Here is Wesley Hunt's website right here.
unidentified		An America First Fighter, join the fight.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		He's a friend of our program and very proud of him.
unidentified		Godspeed, Congressman.
unidentified		God bless you, brother.
wesley hunt ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much.
unidentified		The Arc de Trump.
		Arctic Trump.
		Should I ask Wesley about this?
		But here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
		Donald Trump planning a giant arch, a beautiful new monument.
		Can it be done in time for America 250 celebrations?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We'll see.
unidentified		Everybody who was in the Oval Office, I was not, but everybody who was invited into the Oval Office after Charlie's Medal of Freedom ceremony said that Donald Trump was obsessed with his new arch de Trump and that he plans this massive monument in a perfect, there's a perfect location for it right in front of Arlington National Cemetery.
		And it would really be a beautiful capstone to the city that is deserving of a new, beautiful, neoclassical monument.
		Apparently, there is major renderings of it.
		Donald Trump living out every boy's dream, being able to play with giant architectural blocks and make these things real.
		Okay.
		I guess there's a, I guess we have, I guess we have some video of it.
		Is Donald Trump?
		Is this what you want to do?
		This is what you did.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This was me with Lincoln Logs.
unidentified		This is every young man's dream.
unidentified		Okay.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is it.
unidentified		Okay.
		Here we go.
		Is this video of Trump at the dinner?
		All right.
		Trump arch dinner.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All right, let's go.
unidentified		The stone is a little different color when you get up to the middle.
		But anyway, they stopped here.
		And then they were in 1902, they would have put a statue of Robert E. Lee.
		Would have been okay with me.
		A lot of people wouldn't have liked it.
		Would have been okay with me.
		It would have been okay with a lot of the people in the zone, but they didn't do that.
		And so for years and years it sat.
		And every time somebody rides over that beautiful bridge going to the Lincoln Memorial, it's so beautiful, right?
		They literally say something's supposed to be here.
		And so we have versions of it, sizes of it, and it's going to be really beautiful.
		I think it's going to be fantastic.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		There's a rendering of what it will look like.
unidentified		You have three sizes.
		I would be the largest one.
		This is just a model of what it would look like in either of the three, any of the three sizes, which is regular on the south.
		So that's Lady Liberty.
		Lady, did you ever hear of Lady Lady Liberty?
		But so the sizes would be very good.
		It is lady.
		And this is sort of basically displayed.
		And so right on is this any bad.
		So this would be, I know, small, medium, and large.
		Did you ever want to look good?
		I happen to think the large looks like one.
		Why are you shocked here?
		Okay.
		Small, medium, and large.
		The comedian present.
		It's just like, he's just, what do we do?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We don't deserve him.
unidentified		There we go.
unidentified		Here's some other shots of the dinner.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		President Trump announcing what he's planning on doing with the Arch.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it's happening.

		Get rid of moral filth.

unidentified		Get rid of the moral filth.
		Those are, there are some, there's, there's still, it doesn't matter how much you clean them up, man.
		There are just still some evil people in D.C. There's some just some bad, some bad vibes, but you know what?
		No one is beyond the salvation of God.
		So humbly plant yourself in the word and it will save you.
