lucas tomlinson
That's right.
Good early morning, Carly and Todd.
The Providence Police releasing a new enhanced video of the person of interest in the shooting at Brown University over the weekend.
In the video, which we'll play here, you can see the man wearing a hat and face mask, walking and looking around at times with his hand in his pocket, at others with both hands behind his back.
He looks overweight in this two-tone winter coat.
This video is from the east side of Providence on Saturday afternoon before the shooting.
Yesterday, the police chief was asked this specific question: Is there evidence that suggests that the victim, Ella Cook, may have been targeted?
unidentified
No, not at this point.
lucas tomlinson
Ella Cook was the vice president of college Republicans at Brown University from Mountain Brook.
The governor of Alabama has ordered the flags flown at half staff across the state until Sunset Friday.
The other victim, Mohammad Aziz Umzakov, an aspiring doctor from Uzbekistan, the shooting took place Saturday afternoon around 4 p.m. when students were taking final exams in that engineering building at Brown.
We also have more video to share of the person of interest.
This video at 2.53 p.m., about an hour before the shooting, from a Nissan rogue, shows the person of interest walking near the engineering and physics building with that building there in the background.
The next video shows the shooter in the distance walking away from the crime scene at 4.03 p.m., just minutes after the shooting.
You can see the police sirens and lights as he walks in the background.
The FBI and police are asking the public to share any potential tips and leads.
The state's attorney general says to date the investigation has not determined any motive, but overnight, President Trump posting the true social.
He's wondering why there are not more security cameras at the school to get a look, a better look at the shooter, guys.
unidentified
Guess what day?
Yes, what?
Guess what?
Woo-hoo!
I'll tell you the tale of a place without snow.
A place Santa's reindeer dare not go, but we will go on cracker, on trigger, on wigger, on pork shop, on brain rock, on my mark.
Let the bag drop How can we go To a place without snow Trump made a blockade So no presents for Maduro But guess what?
Guess what?
Everything will be okay.
Guess what day?
What day it is?
It's up day.
benny johnson
I wait for every single Wednesday with great anticipation to see the work of art that Jerry has released.
Better than most Hollywood trailers is our hump day, last hump day of the year.
I can't believe I'm saying that.
unidentified
This is our final hump day, 2025.
benny johnson
So, Jerry, an absolute banger.
Well done, son.
Well done, my boy.
Today is Wednesday, December 17th, 2025.
How have we come so far?
Ladies and gentlemen, we are closing out the year with a bang.
Instead of wanting to do a story on all of the horrors that befall the nation right now, we are going to give you uplifting news and some major uplifting information on this program about the direction of the country.
There are good things happening.
And we have decided that at the end of the year and at the close of this blessed year, and it has been a blessed year, and there have been a lot of good things.
There have been some battles.
unidentified
There's been some things that we very much disagreed with.
benny johnson
And there's a Vanity Fair article right now ping pong balling around about the administration.
There have been obviously some internal frustrations.
I, you know, but we're not going to like do a festivus on this show.
Maybe we will do one.
Maybe we'll do, maybe we'll close out the year with a final festivus show.
But I want to bring you uplifting because again, we are entering the blessed Christmas season.
We spent last night at Mar-a-Lago with General Flynn and incredible patriots.
We got to memorialize Charlie Kirk at Mar-a-Lago, posthumously accepted an award, not really accepted, just going to be delivering it to Erica, obviously, where it belongs.
But got to really like think about, well, what do we have to be thankful for?
What kind of gratitude can we practice?
And it's a good thing for your soul to actually engage in that kind of search.
And I think that gratitude is probably the least practiced virtue in modern society.
Nothing about modern society says that you should be thankful for anything.
Total and complete ingratitude is a systemic problem in our nation.
Obviously, this is something that you get from millions of criminal aliens coming here using our welfare systems as goodie bags.
And they don't thank us.
In fact, sometimes they commit terrorist attacks in order to kill us.
Ingratitude, ladies and gentlemen, is a terrible way to run a society.
And there's so much that has been given to us and gifted to us.
And so we're going to be thankful.
And we're going to march on today.
Again, Wednesday, December 17th.
Elderly woman who's 72 years old working at Target.
You got to ask yourself, why is this little 72-year-old working at Target?
Anyway, she was harassed by a rabid demonic leftist yesterday, but good wins in the end.
And it has a happy ending, this story.
A very happy ending, very interesting.
What's going on right now?
The police are getting involved.
And this lady may not have to work her job at Target anymore after everybody in the MAGA Coalition America First Movement joined together to give her a very Merry Christmas.
Trump declares Venezuela regime a foreign terrorist organization.
Are we going to go to war with Venezuela?
Also, the Brown University shooting.
So much more information.
The administration begins to scrub some of the profiles of various individuals of note and interest.
What's going on there?
What is happening in this country?
General Michael Flynn joins the program.
Senator Ron Johnson joins the show and Representative Chip Roy as well.
My name is Benny Johnson, and this is the Benny Show.
I checked in with our crew, and we still have a few days for you to order your Christmas ornaments.
And so if you want to get the official 2025 Christmas ornaments memorializing the year that we have been through together with everything from Charlie Kirk Freedom Memorial flag, Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero, Donald Trump in a dump truck, garbage truck, Donald Trump waving out the window of the McDonald's, Melania Trump, who just dropped a brand new trailer, looks amazing.
Or RFK Jr. and the MAGA Maha Movement Alliance.
Then please hop on over to the Benny store right now and order these ornaments.
We were again at Mar-a-Lago last night and heard from some wonderful people that their ornaments are sitting on their Christmas tree.
These ornaments are made by American veterans.
They're made by people who love this country.
Nary a communist hand has touched these ornaments.
And ladies and gentlemen, it is our great honor to bring Christmas cheer and joy to you.
And so lock in with us.
The ornaments can still be ordered and shipped and be there in time for Christmas.
michael flynn

benny johnson

I love it.
So many people have these like little Charlie Brown Christmas trees.
And Merry Christmas to you, Ryan.
God bless you.
Keep fighting.
So proud of you.
And look at that.
The RFK Jr. candy cane holder has a candy cane in it.
That is the perfect use of that ornament.
That is its intended use.
Ladies and gentlemen, we hope it brings you joy and spirit this Christmas.
High blood pressure is something that I deal with day and night.
I've dealt with it for years.
On some level, it built the company because we do have great intensity on this program.
And, well, I think it leads to some entertaining outcomes, but it also can lead to some bad outcomes like diabetes and heart attacks and so on.
You should take care of your high blood pressure in an all-natural way.
Speaking of Maha and RFK Jr.
In fact, RFK Jr. glaring at me right here, right in the, there you go.
RFK Jr. approved is 120 Life with five all-natural ingredients that have been proven to lower your blood pressure naturally.
It's delicious.
My kids love to drink this.
It's good for you.
That's why thousands of doctors recommend this critical blend, again, of five all-natural ingredients that can lower your blood pressure and even help with diabetes.

Okay, leftist healthcare worker melts down over elderly target employee wearing a Charlie Kirk shirt.
Now, we are about to go to AmericaFest.
We are heading on out this tomorrow, actually, to go to Phoenix, Arizona.
30,000 people will be joining us at AmericaFest.
Alex, can you grab that promo?
And we're very excited about it.
In the spirit, oh, here it is.
Beautiful.
And I want to tell you why we're leading the show with this story, obviously, in the spirit of America and AmericaFest and Charlie Kirk's legacy.
Look at this group of individuals.
Not all of them obviously agree all the time.
Some of them are controversial.
Some of them say naughty things.
All of them want to have rowdy debate, argument.
And all of them want to save the country.
Some of them obviously fight in different ways.
There's been plenty to be made of all of the drama around this year.
And Charlie Kirk turning point, the legacy of Charlie, but I can tell you this, like speaking from experience, the legacy of Charlie was we should unite in order to defeat our common enemy, which is the bloodthirsty Marxist that wants to kill us, trans our children, open our borders, and lock us all into COVID internment camps.
This is obviously the clear enemy.
This enemy has stopped debating.
So while we all fight amongst ourselves, this enemy has stopped debating and has now turned to violence and assassination culture.
We're going to cover that in some now major breaking updates out of Brown University in just a moment.
But again, what you can see here is just like a pretty remarkable slate of unique individuals.
Charlie would be very proud to have all these people sharing the stage together.
I don't think all at the exact same time.
I will be interviewing Greg Guttfeld, so I will be sharing the stage with Greg Gutfeld.
And this is the legacy of Charlie.
Charlie brought RFK Jr. into the Maha and MAGA fold.
He created Maha.
He fused Trump and RFK together on stage.
Elon Musk as well, sort of the techno side of all this, the David Sachs side of this, the AI side.
Charlie was a bridge there.
And then also a bridge with JD and JD Vance.
And we have some breaking news on that.
Very interesting out of this Vanity Fair article.
Maybe the only good thing to come out of it is some confirmation about what the administration is planning on doing in 2028.
And so this was Charlie's legacy, and it is something that we want to carry on.
And so good sprit de corps, engagement, peaceful deliberation and disagreement, and an ability to have a unified movement in principle that believes in a couple very simple things.
And what are those things?
Well, the American dream.
We believe in America.
What exactly is that?
Well, it is a Christian nation that is orderly, peaceful, where your kids can ride bikes late into the evening on safe streets, where you trust your neighbor, speak the same language as your neighbor, where you have the same value system.
These are like very simple things, and that the future belongs to your children and not to some hedge fund, some venture capitalist.
The future does not belong to infinity Muslim immigrants from Somalia that come here with 50 sister wives and have 32 children and practice Sharia law and have the Muslim call to prayer five times a day loudly and then pray to another country.
I mean, I think it's worth like asking, like, well, they pray five times a day to a different country.
You know, that's actually quite kind of demoralizing if this is your only country, if this is your only land.
And it's spoken about pretty plainly by the people who come here from Somalia.
Clip after clip after clip after clip of Ilhan Omar, the president of Somalia, various other Somali leaders saying, I don't care about Minnesota.
We don't care about Minneapolis.
We're going to rename it Mogadishu when there's enough of us.
We're doing this for our true land, which is Somalia.
They say it plainly.
The president of Somalia traveled here and says Ilhan Omar is not a member of Congress for America.
She's doing this for Somalia.
Well, like, why don't you just stay in Somalia is a pretty important question.
Well, because, of course, they've stripmined all of the resources and there's nothing left there but a barren wasteland of tribal warfare, piracy, and fraudulence, along with a ton of child brides and inbreeding, which is true.
99.9% Muslim country practicing Sharia law.
Would you want it as a 51st state?
No, we're like fighting.
This is like, I will unite with people that are fighting for a vision of America that doesn't include that, right?
Like that doesn't include Sharia law, child brides, and inbreeding.
We should like start there.
And let me add to that political violence.
Let me add to that, like going and murdering college Republican leaders on campus, Charlie Kirk hitting our president in the head with a bullet, various other like extremely violent events that have occurred and taken place, including but not limited to quite a few people who are in prison right now and facing federal charges for threatening to kill my family.
No, I don't want to share a country with them either because that's not the answer.
It never was.
So Charlie Kirk dying the same way that he lived in peaceful disagreement.
And, well, I don't think a lot of people remember this.
I know that I'm just sort of ranting here, and maybe this is a good time to pop up some of our good news of the day.
Maybe we can start with General Flynn.
I don't know, ALS, do you have that photo from yesterday?
There's only one photo, but yesterday we got an award from General Flynn at the Mar-a-Lago event that they had.
And then I posthumously accepted a Charlie Kirk plaque, honorary plaque there.
And it was a wonderful, beautiful event.
But I want to talk about what does a true legacy look like?
I mean, there's not many of us who have an actual true legacy.
So in my very, very short commentary here, I just wanted to explain what does a true generational change in our nation look like?
And, well, this is it.
For all the infighting, all the bickering and all the drama and all the bitching, you know, none of these people can really put up numbers.
And here's the numbers, ladies and gentlemen, for Charlie.
Today, you are witnessing a miracle.
The miracle is a group of young people who are more religious than their parents.
You've never seen that.
Not in human history, not in American history, where church attendance and belief in God is higher than actually their parents' generation.
You can see these numbers quite plainly, again, in purchases of Bibles, in adherence to particularly traditional churches, like Catholicism is seeing a great increase in spike, and in belief in God, which remains incredibly strong in our party.
You know, there was a time when this was waning in both parties and it was collapsing from a secretarian and it's like a very weird thsiop moment in like the 2010, 2008.
You know, like we need to just like liberalize the movement and we need to get rid of traditional values and social norms and social conservatism.
And Charlie brought that roaring back.
Linked with that is that young men are more right-wing than they have ever been in history.
Now, young women have some work to do, that is for sure.
But, you know, what we believe here is when you get married to one of those strong leaders, one of those strong right-wing men, that things reset, right?
You get off the SSRIs as, you know, I don't know what it would be, you know, euphoria.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Like you get off of sort of the PSYOP train and you stop becoming one of those childless cat ladies that Taylor Swift was bragging about.
And that's all collapsed.
And men are leading the way there.
And that is a massive positive and can be attributed to Charlie's life.
And the final thing is the motivation of those men.
Because one thing is like, you know, okay, you have all these younger, more conservative people.
What are they going to do with that energy?
You're going to invade Venezuela, which I'm totally against.
Invade Canada.
I'm more in favor of that, frankly.
But what are you going to do with that?
Invade by peaceful means.
I think Canada, you could just kick in the front door, honestly, and they just surrender.
I think you could do that.
I honestly think that would roll really easily.
What are you going to do with that energy?
Well, according to Gallup, so you have all these young people that believe in God.
They're believing God in great numbers.
They're more right-wing and conservative in greater numbers than ever politically.
What is the motivation?
What action are they going to take?
They want families, dude.
That's it.
That's what all available polling shows.
So the number one priority for young men and specifically young men, but right-wing women as well, Trump voters who are under the age of 35, who are men and women.
The number one priority for men is starting families getting married.
Never seen that before in history.
You've never seen numbers like that.
It's incredible.
For women, it's also very, very high for Trump supporting women.
It's in one of the, I think it's in the top four.
Okay, again, do a little work on that.
It should be number one, both men and women.
But for the left, it's at the absolute rock bottom.
The motivation to have families, to have children is in the barrel for the left.
It is the last priority for both for Kamala Harris voters, male and female.
Dead last.
So that's like very positive for an outlook for us and our movement and who's going to inherit the nation as long as we keep the borders closed.
As long as we don't allow tens of millions of third world criminal aliens here in order to subsist off welfare, we win.
We'll win.
It's a literal demographic guarantee.
It's a mathematical guarantee.
We win.
In the end, we win.
We say it every single show.
Every single show.
Remember, in the end, we win because of this.
Belief in God, conservative in our values, leads to more families, more babies, more children, and their lives lead to nihilism and depression and collapse and quite frankly, misery.
And so we're happy.
They're miserable.
We win.
And that is the legacy of Charlie.
Interestingly, that's what Charlie said he wanted.
He's like a C2P.
I've never seen this.
I know I've talked about a little bit on the show, but I've never seen anything like it.
A dude who was in his 20s, early 30s, 32 when he died, talking so much about what his legacy was going to be.
What's that about?
Never heard a 20-year-old talk like that.
But he said it with absolute clarity.
I want my legacy to be the advancement of the kingdom of Christ.
Absolute clarity rings like a bell.
I want it to be the advancement of the kingdom of God.
That is it.
Boom.
And then you can see these numbers.
You can see them shift.
You can see them change.
So this is what we've inherited.
We have to keep it now.
Now we have to keep that motivation.
Look at that.
For young male Trump voters.
Number one.
Number one priority.
Having children.
Getting married, having children.
Right?
And you can see this.
Voters for Harris.
Having a career.
Working at Citibank.
Working at Citibank.
That's my number one.
That's the number one thing that I want.
A carrare.
Yeah.
And females voting Trump.
Achieving financial independence.
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
You can do that by marrying, you do that by marrying a good man.
So this is what we're fighting.
And I say all of that to sort of lay the groundwork for what we have coming up next, which is obviously, we have like a very special event that we're going to be doing at the end of the year.
We're flying out tomorrow for it.
America Fest.
We're going to be all day rip roaring at America Fest.
It's going to be awesome.
And Charlie Kirk showing even now, 90 plus days after getting assassinated, how powerful that legacy is by inspiring demons to literally shriek in fear and pain when they see his signature as what happened in a Target in California yesterday.
Okay, so here we go.
Leftist healthcare worker has psychotic meltdown over elderly Target employees Charlie Kirk shirt.
Video of a woman melting down over an elderly Target employee wearing a Charlie Kirk freedom shirt has gone viral on social media with many calling out the liberal woman as a left-wing Karen for cussing out the employee.
The video shows an elderly worker, she's 72, going about her various duties as employee at Target when the woman behind the camera, identified as a healthcare worker, Michiella Ponce, and also vicious and psychotic immigration activist, walked up to her and confronted her employee about the shirt with the freedom and Charlie Kirk emblazoned on it.
Ponce, whose TikTok handle is mother of ballers, okay, appeared in the video, which was spread across social media.
She also called the target employee a racist and stupid for wearing the shirt in honor of the Turning Point USA founder.
Are you effing stupid?
Pawn says TikTok has 1.1 million likes.
And her profile picture features a woman with a hat that states make racism great again.
So Libs loved this.
Libs loved some little woman in her 70s getting harassed and called a racist and screamed at while she's stalking baby clothes at Target.
chip roy
Here we go.
unidentified
Why?
They let you wear that shirt here?
Yes.
Why?
Why are you taking my picture?
Why are you wearing that shirt?
You're working.
It's not a Target shirt.
I can wear a red, giddy red shirt.
It's not a plain shirt.
It doesn't have to be.
It's a Charlie Kirk shirt.
Yes.
Oh, yes, I know.
Are you stupid?
No.
Why the f would you wear that?
benny johnson
You're at work at Target.
That's not a Target shirt.
It's not a plain red shirt.
unidentified
You support a racist.
It's not racist.
You support a racist.
He's not a racist.
Yes, he is.
Yes, he is.
I'm sorry that I'm not going to sit here and argue with you.
You're not.
You should go get your manager.
You should not be allowed to wear that at work.
Unacceptable.
Unfing acceptable.
That's your opinion.
benny johnson
The opinion is he's a racist and you support him.
unidentified
That's your opinion.
And you should not be allowed to wear that.
This is going to be taken above your head.
That's insane.
benny johnson
this is what we're fighting Now, imagine that you've taken time out of your holiday season to go harass a 72-year-old working retail at Target stalking children's clothes.
Because she's wearing a shirt that is so offensive to you.
Why?
It has a American flag on it, Charlie Kirk's signature, and the word freedom.
That's the shirt.
We checked with the target employee.
You're allowed to wear any red shirt that you want.
This shirt is perfect.
It's a Target red shirt.
And this woman is peacefully doing her job.
This is why I say this is a spiritual battle, man.
It's the forces of darkness.
Good versus evil, darkness versus light.
This is why I say it's a spiritual battle.
Could you imagine being such an absolute goblin?
These people's souls are blackened.
And, well, you F around and you find out.
F around hard enough, you will indeed find out.
Here we go.
Police are investigating the woman who harassed a target employee for wearing a Charlie Kirk shirt, F-A-F-O.
So people contacted this woman's employer called Enlo Health, and they have posted a update.
So Enlo Health was contacted about their psychotic employee going and harassing a peaceful worker at Target wearing a Charlie Kirk shirt.
And they say the Chino Police Department is investigating a social media post in which a personal account of an Enlo Health employee.
We are deeply concerned about the tenor of this post and the response that it is creating for individuals of all political persuasions.
We ask for patience and calm as we conduct our own internal investigation on this matter.
In the meantime, we are relying on the expertise of the Chico Police Department to investigate any potential criminal activity, threats related to it.
Currently, extremely high call volumes related to this post are overwhelming our switchboard clinic, phone lines negatively impacting the patient's ability to reach clinical staff.
If you wish to share a comment with Enlo Health related to this employee's social media post, please email us.
Okay, so the police are now investigating this as, I mean, what I would assume to be harassment.
Right?
Yeah.
I'm not exactly sure what you would be charged with, but, well, you'd love to see a little bit of accountability, retribution, and more importantly, people doing the right thing in the holiday season.
And this is a beautiful thing, the give, send, go for Janine from Target.
Fundraising to give Janine from Target a vacation.
Janine from Target has raised $81,000 right now.
Fundraising to give Janine a vacation Monday in Chico, California, an elderly Target employee found herself at the center of a national attention by being filmed.
Somebody only described as unhinged.
The individual berated her fellow Californian with unwarranted fury because she was wearing a shirt supporting Charlie Kirk.
Now we are hoping to raise enough money so that she can afford a much needed vacation.
Time to relax and recharge and forget about the ugliness.
Please help us send this incredible woman on an unforgettable trip peace of mind amidst all that has transpired.
Or even just let her splurge on Christmas, whatever she needs.
So this is, and then you can see all of the donations and all the beautiful comments here.
Just a thing of beauty.
All the support.
You know, the world and darkness seems so loud and it seems so overwhelming.

ALX, is the link in the description here?
Yeah, okay, great.
The link is in the description.
And we are working right now on getting General Flynn onto the program.
Ladies and gentlemen, General Flynn is what looks like joining us live from Mar-a-Lago.
And our producers are testing with him right now.
So just let me know, guys, what we think.
Obviously, Flynn will be, Flynn is on the road.
We were with the general last night at Mar-a-Lago.
It was a beautiful evening.
And frankly, this is a lovely way to end the season.
I know that there's going to be a chance that Janine may be at turning point America Fest.
She may be taking the stage.
unidentified
So, okay, let's see.
benny johnson
I mean, let me know, guys, what you think.
They're saying that Flynn, we're trying to get General Flynn.
He's trying to find a place at Mar-a-Lago that has good Wi-Fi so he can hop on the show and give us sort of an update on what happened yesterday at his event.
It was a really incredible event.
A lot of patriots there for a good cause.
Again, it was an honor to memorialize Charlie.
And this is Janine doing a wonderful job here to memorialize Charlie as well.
As the team makes a decision on General Flynn, tries to workshop and game theory a little bit of the technical difficulties.
Let's talk about potential technical difficulties in your life, which would be financial difficulties, technically around high-interest credit card debt.
American financing can help you solve your credit card debt.
American financing can help you refinance your high interest credit card debt, which of course is modern day slavery into a much lower rate, get you out from under that giant millstone.
Their customers are saving an average of $800 per month.
I hate that American families are so in debt.
You've got to stop spending money.
You've got to stop spending the money that you're not making on things you can't afford.
You don't need that extra bag or that extra set of sneakers or to drive the most expensive car.
I like frankly, have always loved the minimalist life.
Obviously, having kids and a wife, like it's expensive.
And you get you need one more thing and one more thing and one more thing, but there's a reason why I wear the same t-shirt every freaking day.
We live very minimally, and that's just the way we were raised in the Midwest.
But unfortunately, people can sort of get psyoped into thinking differently and thinking that more stuff will give you more happiness.
And that's not the case anyway.
The point is that American Financing can help you get out of that debt.

Looked like it.
It looked like he was trying to join, and it's just too choppy.
Yeah, it was too choppy.
That's okay.
All right.
So ALX made the decision to cut General Flynn, but gave you guys sort of an insight into his event at Mar-a-Lago last night, and it was amazing.
More to post on that.
There was a clip that went viral of a 102-year-old American veteran at this event that decided he's going to re-enlist because President Trump is the president of the world.
We were able to speak with this guy for a little bit.
It's freaking awesome.
unidentified
Ladies and gentlemen, here's the clip.
Nobody in this goddamn world who cares more for this nation than this guy that you're looking at.
And I think the Trump is the president of the United States.
He is the president of the world.
And I think he does a fantastic job in the negotiations.
I'm 101,402.
Goddamn it.
Put a unicorn on me.
I'm going to move.
I'm going to move.
Let's go.
Oh, my God.
benny johnson
I'm sending the team.
We actually did a little interview with this guy, a client, load that up.
unidentified
Sending it to the team.
benny johnson
I don't know, guys.
Kara saying Flynn can hear us.
Whatever.
I just need, I trust my producers.
Just let me know what you guys think, General Flynn.
This is something that someone who I'd love to speak to.
We always love speaking to the general.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
This veteran spoke with us at Mar-a-Lago.
Here's what he had to say.
First time publishing this.
Let's go.
unidentified
What's up, guys?
benny johnson
I'm here with Bill Dylan, a 100-year-old World War II veteran hero.
101 appreciation post for our World War II veterans.
Any advice, Bill, for the young people out there?
bill dillon
Yes, I give a lot of talks.
One thing I talk about is not the war.
What I tell everybody is just take the word can't, C-A-N-D, take the word can't out of your vocabulary.
Everything has got to be, I can, I can't, I can't.
So anything that you want to be in this life, you can be it.
All you got to do is be strong enough and follow your ambition and go with it.
So anytime I don't talk about the war, I don't talk about me.
What I try to do is tell you people what us guys who went through the depression went through and build on, get educated.
Don't stay educated.
Education.
Education is the most important thing going.
Stay with it and do everything you can to learn as much as you can and don't ever quit working.
I don't mean for work.
I'm talking about just say working.
I don't care whether you cut the grass or trimming the trees or what?
But say working.
But keep your ambitions in front and just strive to do everything you possibly can to get what you want to hell with everybody else.
Get what you want.
Take the word can out of your vocation.
benny johnson
That's a part burner.
bill dillon
Yeah, thanks, Bill.
benny johnson
Hey, how do you think the country's doing?
bill dillon
I think the country, right, is the best hands ever.
And listen to me.
I've been under 22 presidents, 22.
And I gave all the way back to Kelvin Coolidge and Hoover and Roosevelt and Truman and all the rest of the guys, everyone.
And who's the most?
And I can tell you, I earned it.
I think the greatest thing that's ever happened to us is elected President Trump, not of the President of the United States.
He's going to be the president of the world because he's one of the most fantastic negotiators instead of fighting the war all the time.
So you get out there and you vote for Trump.
Get me out there, guys, and let me talk.
I'll tell you all.
I love that guy, and I think he's the most fantastic president we ever had.
He's going to surpass George Weston.
He's fantastic.
Period.
unidentified
Are you going on Rushmore?
bill dillon
Mount Rushmore.
Oh, I love it.
unidentified
They're going to make a new Mount Marshall.
bill dillon
Hey, do you see where the Democrats want to get rid of all those guys up Mount Roycemore?
Hey, babe, put me on the side of that hill and I'll be telling you to be tough in the rocks out myself.
benny johnson
And what's your message to Democrats in closing?
bill dillon
What's that again?
benny johnson
What's your message to Democrats?
unidentified
What a great country we have.
What a great country we have.
benny johnson
If we can keep it, ladies and gentlemen, if we can keep it, it sounds like, okay, it sounds like the boys are back in town and they are ready for General Flynn.
It looks like the decision has been made that General Flynn, we're just going to give it a shot.
All right.
The general is standing by.
So let's go right now to General Flynn to talk about his incredible American principles event last night in Mar-a-Lago.
michael flynn
Danny, can you hear me?
benny johnson
Hey, General, I can.
What's up, man?
michael flynn
Oh, God.
Well, thank you.
And thank you to your team for hanging with me here this morning.
I just think it's so important.
That gentleman that was just on for your audience, he's moving to 102.
He's 101 going on 102.
He is the survivor of World War II.
He served on what was called the submarine called the sailfish.
People need to go look up the sailfish.
Just Google it.
He was one of only two people that served the entire war on that submarine.
All the other members of the Navy at that time that were on that submarine had to get off at different times because the submarine took so many depth charges.
There's recorded over 500 depth charges that these guys took.
And this gentleman, you know, he is such a true believer.
He's such a patriot.
Bill Dillon, I met him a number of months ago.
And so we invited him last night to recognize him as we recognize you as a champion for this country, for this beautiful country of ours.
And I just watched your first, or prior to me coming on and prior to you showing Bill, Genie from Target, right?
Genie from Target.
I mean, I want the American people to know as we go into this holiday season that we have so many different, just great, great people in our country that are patriots and that are just believing in their Christian values and principles that we are, our country is founded upon.
And we have a president right now that has given up so much.
And they've taken shots at him to try to kill him as they did to the great Charlie Kirk.
And that was one of the things that we recognized last night.
And thank you, Benny, for being there to not only accept a Champion of America award for yourself for all the things that you do, but also we wanted to recognize Charlie Kirk and the kinds of effort that he has done in his legacy.
And so thank you on behalf of our team at America's Future for being there to accept that as well.
We had a great, great event last night.
And for all those people that are out there in our country, I want you to know that what we do as a nation, and one of the people that we had speaking last night, they talked about the United States of America.
And they said, you know, of those words, right, United States of America, the most important word among those three key ones is united.
And, you know, we say United States of America, united we stand, right?
So we are a much, much greater nation.
We're a much better place.
And frankly, the world sees us as a very united, a united country, a united people.
And it's crazy because, you know, we hear so much negativity sometimes in our media and in other parts, you know, from other from other sort of parts of our country.
But when I talked, we had about probably five or six different countries represented last night that came to our event because they really support what we're doing.
And to a national representative, they are so grateful for everything that President Donald J. Trump has done to unite and to bring people together around the world.
I mean, he's, you know, this idea about peace and trying to fight for peace as much as we have fought in wars over the many, many years.
And Bill Dillon's a representative of that.
He's, I mean, just an incredible, incredible human being.
Never mind, never mind, a great servant of our country in uniform.
But I just want to, I want to let people know that what we're all really all about, Benny, and as we go into the holiday season and went into the Christmas season, you know, remind ourselves that this country is all about being united, united in a cause for freedom, united in a cause for patriotism, united in a cause to work for each other, for our families, our faith, right, our principles as a nation.
And I think that's really what this season is all about.
And I do hope, because I know the president is going to be addressing the nation tonight.
And I'm hopeful that in that address to the nation, that he lays out some of the important issues and opportunities that he sees for this country going forward.
There's a lot of angst, obviously, whenever you talk to anybody, right, there's a lot of angst out there.
And I think a lot of it is because of the, frankly, the propaganda and the psychological operations that are fed into our system.
And, you know, we all know that.
Everybody sees that.
And so I'm optimistic.
I'm sitting here optimistic, very optimistic today.
And I'm so glad that the president is going to address the nation tonight.
And I believe he's going to really, really show a touch of leadership that this country is begging for.
And he's the right guy at the right moment, the right time.
So we're just, we're blessed, blessed to be part of a great cause.
And I'm blessed to be, you know, be part of something that I think all of us as Americans, that gentleman, Bill Dylan, is a reminder of why we are the way we are in the United States of America.
So thanks for being a part of last night.
And I wish you all the best here.
I know people are going to have another great event coming up this weekend.
And that's going to be another good opportunity to showcase what America is known for, what being united as a nation, what being united as a country, what being united as a people that we are known for around the world, because the rest of the world is watching and they are praying and hoping that America continues to be the greatest country in the history of the world, which we are.
benny johnson
So, General, you obviously have taken over Mar-a-Lago and you've, you know, you've rented the entire property.
You were at the pool yesterday and receptions and roundtables and renting out the cottages and then the ballroom.
And so it's a beautiful property.
But just a few short years ago, the doors were getting kicked down by the feds and the FBI was doing a full-scale raid of this property with guns drawn going through and ripping open the private quarters of President Trump, his office, Melania's bedroom, closet, bathroom, Baron Trump's fidget spinners and Game Boy or whatever.
It's like they were rifling through everything.
And now we find out today that the FBI said there's no probable cause to actually do that and that the Biden DOJ effectively said, screw you, we're just going to raid Trump in order to torture and harass him.
There are now details in emails that prove all of this.
Given the fact that you're in Mar-a-Lago right now, what's your take on this?
michael flynn
Yeah, and you know, this is no surprise.
I mean, my persecution, after it was investigated by a legitimate prosecutor, they also determined that there was no probable cause, that there was no crime committed, right?
I mean, and my life and my family's life were damn near destroyed.
And that's what they were attempting to do to President Donald J. Trump and his family.
So, you know, you know, Eric, you know, Don Jr., Alvanka, all of them.
I mean, every time, and I always say when Trump got a subpoena, I got a subpoena.
But those, that entire family, as my family went through this incredible level of deceit and a persecution, not a prosecution, not legitimate in any sense of the word.
So what they did down at Mar-a-Lago and what they're going to, what they've discovered is obviously there's no legitimate reason for doing that.
And all they were trying to do is destroy that man and make him force him to say, you know, I'm done with politics.
I'm going to walk away and I'm going to try to just fight for my family.
So Trump did that and more.
And one of the things that he did was he decided again to run for president of the United States.
And our nation, if Trump wasn't the president right now, I don't know where our country would be.
I probably wouldn't be on this podcast with you and you probably wouldn't have this podcast.
That's the kind of, that's what we're facing.
That's what we're facing in this country.
And that's what I want people to know.
When they go after a former president of the United States, the way they went after her, it's not just the Mar-a-Lago raid.
It's everything, Benny.
It's all the stuff coming up in New York and the J6 to Fannie Willis in Fulton County district attorney who went after him there as well.
I went through all that.
So I have personal scar tissue on all this, so I know.
And so this issue of no probable cause, meaning that they really, they made the whole thing up.
I don't want to use language on your show here today, but they made the whole thing up to get after Donald J. Trump, to destroy him, to destroy his family, to destroy his legacy.
And guess what Trump did?
He stood his ground.
And thank God that he did.
And now we are where we are as a nation.
And now, as I've always said, and I emphasized it last night, that the most important thing that people can do, because everybody always asks, what can I do?
The most important thing that you can do, now I'm talking to your audience, is figure out what you can control in your life and go take control of it.
Get involved.
Get involved at the local level.
I use this phrase local action has a national impact.
If you get involved at the local level, you can stitch back the fabric of this beautiful quilt we call the United States of America.
And that's what we're going to need every single person to do.
Just like Bill Dylan, Bill Dylan stood up and served his country at a very young age and he served it honorably.
And I know what that means.
And now we have to remind every single citizen, you don't have to just serve in uniform, but you have a duty and a responsibility as an American to serve your country in some capacity, whether it's your church, your family, your local community.
But now it's time to get involved.
And I think that that's going to be the message from Trump tonight.
It's going to be what is it that you can do as Americans?
You can get out there, get involved, and get active.
Because in order to save this country, in order to continue to have the freedoms that we have, we're going to have to sacrifice.
And sacrifice means your time.
It means your resources.
It means your skills, whatever it is.
But now's the time and people need to.
And I think that that message has resonated.
And it's because of all the nonsense that President Trump went through, withstood that pain, withstood the sacrifice that he and his family had to make.
And now he's president of the United States again because the American people said so.
And that's the beauty of this country.
benny johnson
What do you think about, and the final question here, I know that you have a very short time window, but what do you think about the grand jury unpaneling for the grand conspiracy that's taking place right where you are right now, there in the Southern District of Florida?
There is now a grand conspiracy that is going to span, I think, years in order to try and rig elections against President Trump, rig obviously law affair against President Trump and yourself.
And people are, it seems like they're quite nervous about this one as we have been fed from some of the people inside of this process teasing out like this is going to be the true main course for justice in Trump term two.
Your take, General.
michael flynn
Yeah, so for everybody, the conspiracy never stopped.
So it wasn't like people go, oh, you know, there's a, right, I don't know, an expiration of whatever crimes they committed back in Russia Gate.
That conspiracy continued.
And that's what we're seeing with this grand jury down here in Florida and the things that we're hearing.
I mean, all the lawyers are all, you know, like people are lawyering up, et cetera, as we have seen.
So here's where I think we're at.
I think come into the new year here, we're going to probably see, if not a lot of subpoenas issued, we're going to see some indictments issued.
I also think that the president, and I think he'll talk about it tonight a little bit, I think he's going to talk about our elections and what has happened to our election system, because this is all part of the same conspiracy.
You know, if you start off with Russia Gate as the beginning, right, in 2016, summer of 2016, even earlier than that now that we know, but summer of 2016, and then you continue to follow the conspiracy to basically undermine the Constitution of the United States of America and undermine a duly elected president during Trump's first term, that was sort of Russia Gate.
And then you had Impeachment Gate.
Then you had the election.
And I'm going to tell you, the rigged elections are very real.
This is not conspiratorial.
I think Trump is going to, he knows it.
And we're going to see a lot more of that.
So this conspiracy continued.
And we just talked about the raid at Mar-a-Lago, Jack Smith, right?
Geez, where'd that guy?
Where'd that name go?
Well, believe me, I'm part of a federal case against him.
It's a civil case, but we are working with the Department of Justice on that one to turn it into a criminal case, which they should do.
So, this conspiracy continued.
I think what we're going to find is we're going to find that these kinds of things take time if they're done properly.
I know people are frustrated.
I'm frustrated.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I'm not, but I will tell you the way that it needs to be done, it needs to be done, you know, by the book, legally and morally.
And they are going to discover because people will start to talk once subpoenas are issued, and there's been some issued, I understand, and it's through the lawyer network that people are going to start to talk.
And I've been on your show before and mentioned a couple of names of those people that I think are going to be the easiest ones to talk first, guys like Clapper, right, if he makes it to the next year.
So, so I think it's good news, I think it's positive news, it's news that needs to come, and people are waiting for it.
And I think those are the two areas that President Trump is going to have to deal with.
And he has been, you know, in his own way, in his own style, and that's accountability, accountability of these people that committed this conspiracy to undermine the Constitution of the United States of America.
And the other is our elections and making sure that our elections are fair.
unidentified
We have to get people, people will go vote if they believe that the elections are fair.
benny johnson
Yes.
michael flynn
And that's what has to happen.
And people, cycle elections like the midterms and all this kind of stuff, people have to go vote.
And they will vote if they believe that there's been positive changes.
And I know that President Trump, believe me, he's up to his eyeballs in that.
I know that for a fact.
And he's going to do all that he can to make sure that our elections are as fair as he can possibly make them.
And it won't be easy because there's going to be a lot of people who don't want them to be fair fighting against him.
And that's where the American people, your audience, has to stand our ground and say this is what we demand.
benny johnson
General, do you mind a very quick follow-up to that?
I know that you're on a tight timeline.
Very quick follow-up.
You talk about secure elections, and there's been some considerable reporting done about your role in 2024 and saving our elections from being stolen by digital and electronic voting and some of the capacities through Venezuelan companies.
And I think some of what's happening in Venezuela, frankly, ties back to this.
We have some good sourcing on that.
But Venezuelan companies that can and do rig elections around the world through electronic voting and that they can algorithmically just shift the votes.
And it is a code and it is an algorithm and that they can deplete or increase based on the numbers and the pure margins voting blocks across certain key counties and rig elections.
Now, we've heard Tulsi Gabbard sort of tease this out that there is a big report coming on this.
And again, we've heard your name mentioned multiple times in our reporting about what truly happened in 2024 to save the election.
So I just want to give you this big runway, since you mentioned it multiple times there in the last answer, to tell us, like, what was your role in saving the 2024 election?
How do we fix this system?
michael flynn
Yeah, so a couple of things.
Number one, our election system is all the above.
It's mail-in voting.
It's machinery.
It's all of the different things.
It's harvesting.
It's all the different things that we know are just not part of a fair system.
So it's not just, you know, one thing.
It's not one thing.
That's not what wins the day.
What wins the day is, you know, is a system that people can trust and it's fair.
Now, in terms of overseas interference, because you mentioned like Venezuela, you know, there's all the noise about Serbia and servers and such like that.
So what I can 100% guarantee, 100%, Benny, is that there was foreign interference of our elections.
And it clearly is very clear that it goes back to at least 2020, possibly goes back further than that.
And that's why Venezuela is such a key component of this issue because of what we know.
And all that information came out right after the 2020 election, but nobody wanted to believe it.
We didn't, you know, we weren't able to be as clear as possible.
So it's taken years and a lot of hard work, a lot of sacrifice, and frankly, a lot, you know, lives, it actually costs lives to get to where we're at.
And so 100%, Benny, there is clear, unadulterated evidence that we had foreign interference in our elections.
And I know that President Trump is very aware of that.
And I'll leave it at that because it's really now up to the president.
And I believe he'll make the right decisions because he's got good people advising him on this.
He'll make the right decision about this.
But when people see and hear how foreign entities and countries interfered in our elections to basically overthrow our country, but they did it in line with people here inside.
That's what's even more egregious.
And that's the one thing that for me personally is I don't fear China.
I don't fear Russia.
I don't fear Iran.
I don't fear any of these over Venezuela.
I don't fear any of these people.
You know, that's, you know, I've been there, done that.
What I am most concerned about is the insidiousness of people inside of our own system, inside of our government, that are trying to work against our country.
That's what I am most concerned about.
And I know that President Trump is as well.
So I'm very, very optimistic that he is being fed now the right information and he will make the right decision.
benny johnson
What do you mean the decision?
Like banning electronic voting?
Banning mail and voting?
michael flynn
I mean, yeah, he's going to have to make some decisions about whether or not the U.S. Postal Service is involved in elections, which is unconstitutional as far as I'm concerned.
It's an exec member of the executive branch.
The machinery, if we find, we discover that machines or any part of a machine is made overseas, or there are elements that are running through systems that are overseas, we can't have that.
We just can't have that.
And so, but yet we do.
And he's going to get a lot of pushback from, particularly from blue states.
We can already see some of it.
So he may have to go to a place where we just ban all machinery.
And we go to literally, we go to paper ballots and we count paper ballots, which is not, even in this 21st century, that's not out of the question.
I mean, it's not out of the question.
And to do it properly, to do it correctly, to do it at precinct level.
And that's why I've said in the past that probably the most important person on an election day is a precinct captain, even in a presidential election, because those are the people that have to hustle and they know what their jobs are.
That's why I say local action.
People got to get involved.
There's so much that is at stake.
And we cannot have a system, an election system, particularly the machinery that is made in another country or is capable of being subverted from overseas, which is what we learn.
benny johnson
Well, we look forward to that report.
We hope that it comes before the 2026 midterm elections.
Obviously, right.
And we just wish you a Merry Christmas, General, and Godspeed.
And thank you for fighting so hard for this nation, for being such a profound guest on our program.
The audience just absolutely loves you.
And again, we always get inquiries from the New York Times and Media and CNN whenever you're on.
Did he really mean that?
Can you believe it?
Yes.
Yes, we can.
We can believe it.
I know I said it last night on stage, but it's true.
Yeah.
michael flynn
100%.
Merry Christmas.
benny johnson
That's right.
Make Get Mo full again.
Thank you very much, General.
Again, Merry Christmas.
Godspeed.
michael flynn
God bless.
benny johnson
That was not bad.
Producers, that was not bad.
Maybe General Flynn was using a Patriot mobile phone.
Why not?
It's like too easy.
General Flynn was there on his phone, joining us from the dining hall at Mar-a-Lago.
And we're very thankful for that.
It's like sort of a beautiful recap of some of the news of the day, but then also some of the purpose that you should have carrying yourself into the new year.
Patriot Mobile carries us when we are out on the road.
We go again.
Out on the road, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting tomorrow, we are hitting the bricks.
I mean, tonight, today we're doing like prep.
We're doing like prep.
We got big Christmas surprise for everyone.
And we're doing prep today for that.
And then we're going to hit the road again.
And then I got to tell you, I'm the Prince of Peace is what they call Jesus Christ upon the holy Christmas Eve.
And yeah, that is what we will be searching for.
The Prince of Peace.
We have been going.
My wife told me this morning, we get up at like 5, 5.30, and we go downstairs, get the coffee brewing, and get some electrolytes.
And my wife's like, do you know that for the last three months, you've had like two weekends at home, like two solid weekends where it's just was just you at home and there's no travel at all associated.
And so, yeah, we've been doing our best, ladies and gentlemen, in our own humble way to make sure that we are connected to you through Patriot Mobile on the road and that we are connecting this movement to the core principles and the energy that keeps it going.
Because you actually have to have positive and good energy to keep a movement going.
You have to continue the fight.
Patriot Mobile helps us continue the fight to fight the communists, gives you the same or better premium coverage on all carriers, and they offer unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, and international roaming and more.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, we got, looks like we have Chip Roy, who they're working.
They're working on getting his shot set up.
And we're excited to have Congressman back on the program.
Let me know, producers.
I know that we've, you know, it is the end of the year, and this is the way the way that it goes.
Nonetheless, General Flynn's shot and Chip Roy's shot, which it seems like both of these men are like out on the road or traveling, not in studios.
Still clearer than any footage that we have of the actual mass murderer.
I say mass murder.
Two people were killed.
12 people were shot at Brown University.
Timeline showing movements of Brown University mass shooting.
Suspect released.
It'll enrage you, frankly, seeing this.
Because now we can see that the Brown University suspect walked by multiple police cars after the shooting.
Not sure where this clip is.
ALX hit it with Klein, but look at this.
The shooter, the killer, is wandering past multiple cop cars after the murders.
No, it's a clip.
Yeah, it's a clip.
I saw this all over my timeline yesterday.
And so what the hell is this?
There are 100 different security forces at Brown University, full-time security forces, security police officers.
There are a thousand cameras.
The president's home has cameras.
But now we can't get any shots.
No footage, nothing.
It smells like a cover-up to me.
People are speculating that this might be a left-wing student, left-wing staffer that's well known to everybody involved, and that this may be some grand conspiracy.
It's obviously a rotund individual, a fatter individual.
You can see like sort of a giant beer belly, portly.
And the cops instead arrested a very fit, like military man and said that he did it.
Well, what the hell is that?
unidentified
Exactly.
benny johnson
Why did they arrest somebody who doesn't fit the description at all?
The cops had all this footage.
So here you go.
Some people saying that this individual walks like a woman.
The authorities are saying that it is a man.
Nonetheless, this individual does not match the description at all of who they arrested and said they got the guy for 24 hours and then they released him.
So we had the wrong suspect.
So this is now again, not helpful footage.
You get no shots of their face.
He's kind of like the Jason's Pipe Bomber.
You can barely see even the skin color.
You can see the path here from the FBI.
It looks like they've got even some dash cam footage.
Do we have that?
Do we have the police officer?
Yeah, there you go.
So there's a police officer right there.
So they committed the mass murder and then just calmly strode by a police officer.
Makes absolutely no sense.
It seems to many people that they are concealing the identity of the shooter.
Why?
The shooter also shouted, according to eyewitnesses, Alu Akbar, which of course is going to narrow down the pool, the suspect, and the motive for this crime.
Again, they attacked the only conservative on campus and killed her.
The only outspoken Christian conservative on campus and killed her.
And now, Extreme Far Left Wing Brown University seems to be doing damage control and cover-up for the murderer.
Cameras in the hallway, but they don't show the suspect.
Brown is not releasing them, or they're not releasing them to the media.
How does a multi-million dollar school not have cameras in the hallway?
Correction.
How does a $10 billion?
We check the endowment, $10 billion endowment.
How did they not have proper security cameras?
Why are they withholding their footage?
This individual went deep into the heart of the school, into the building right in the center of campus, and then committed mass murder.
What authorities are now calling a targeted killing.
Here we go.
unidentified
Cameras in the hallway, but they don't show the suspect while Brown is not releasing them, or you're not releasing them to us.
How does a multi-million dollar school not have a bunch of cameras in the hallway?
So let me try to explain that.
So, as President Madsen knows, there was a major addition put on that building within the last five years or so.
That is a modern building attached to a much older one in the back.
So it doesn't come as a surprise to me, at least, that there are cameras in the newer part of the building.
And there is video footage, okay?
So there's the back part of the building, old part, and front part, new part.
The shooting occurs in the old part, towards the back, up towards Oak Street.
In that older part of the building, there are fewer, if any, cameras in that location.
I imagine because it's an older building.
So as students are fleeing the area of the shooting into the new part of the building, there are cameras in that brand new building that show that chaos.
But the only video of the presumed, anticipated, suspected, however you want to define it, person of interest, you have it.
We would release it if we thought it would be helpful in identifying this subject because we are relying on the press and public to help get us there.
There would be no reason for us to hold back.
When you look at the best of all of us, Dan's got to follow up.
I pray, General, thank you for explaining that because it really clarifies it, although I'm sure some people watching would think a multi-million dollar school with a huge endowment could avoid new cameras in an old building.
That's my statement, right?
benny johnson
Yeah, it's a great statement because they do have cameras.
Here we go from Fox News.
The Brown University academic building where the gunman opened fire and killed two students allegedly didn't have cameras because the structures age.
However, officials have confirmed that the very old official residence of the school's president has plenty of brand new cameras strapped to it.
You can see them right here.
So what the hell is going on?
They stupidly made all their camera locations public.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, there are some major reports out of a known individual who has ties to Palestinian liberation movements and to radical Islamic movements,
who is a well-known member of the Brown University student assembly, an activist, and their entire history is being scrubbed from the internet.
Nobody knows why.
Brown says they're taking down all of the public statements, images, photos, reports, publications, and articles on this individual who seems to, of course, match the body type, description of the shooter.
Again, we don't know, innocent until proven guilty.
We don't know if the feds have even questioned this individual.
We don't know.
But Brown said in a statement that they're taking, they're scrubbing everything based on doxing activity in the wake of the shooting.
Well, how about instead say that the feds have cleared that the police have interviewed this person of interest, let's just call it, and then they've cleared him.
How about say that?
Instead, the president of Brown is just playing stupid and saying, oh, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know anything.
Here we go.
unidentified
Is that a response to any external threats to anyone in the community?
christina paxson
We have been working very closely with law enforcement to provide them with all of the internal to Brown information that they need to do this investigation.
It's their investigation.
They're the professionals.
So we're providing information.
unidentified
We're not in the job of reviewing it for them.
I know nothing about web pages being taken down as part of this.
It's the first time I've heard of it.
ron johnson
In the back.
benny johnson
President Trump on Truth Social.
Why did Brown University have so few security cameras?
There can be no excuse for that in the modern age.
It doesn't get any worse.
President Donald Trump.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, speaking about this with great authority and somebody who wants to obviously keep Texas a safe place.
There's been plenty of shootings in Texas, obviously, sometimes targeting schools.
Nobody wants to see this ever happen again.
The great Congressman Chip Roy joins the program live now to discuss.
Congressman, what the hell is going on here?
Brown University.
To us, it certainly seems like a targeted killing of maybe the one conservative and Christian student on campus.
And then it seems like that everything's getting kind of slow rolled here and nobody really knows what they're doing.
Your take.
chip roy
Well, first of all, good to be on Benny.
benny johnson
Merry Christmas.
chip roy
Merry Christmas to all your listeners.
Obviously, you know, our heart goes out to the young woman from Alabama who was the college Republican there at Brown, probably one of what, six or however many there are at Brown University.
But, you know, it does appear that this was targeted.
You know, my godson goes to Brown and was literally down the street and heard the shots and was there.
I was texting with him that night.
The response by Brown University has been, I think, nothing short of pathetic.
And, you know, this whole notion that she's ignoring the scrubbing of the websites and trying to, you know, it seems like, you know, whitewash this whole thing and try to get rid of it is, I think, pretty extraordinary.
But look, I think at the end of the day, it's because there's a narrative here, right?
The question is, what fits the narrative?
And, you know, we don't know all the details yet about who we're talking about, but what we know is they have a very definitive idea of what they want the narrative to be or not to be, right?
That's the deal.
And every time we deal with radical leftists in university, in public, in K through 12, anywhere in the country, they're always trying to figure out how to avoid people knowing the truth.
And I just think you seek the truth wherever it may lead, right?
And if this is somebody that, you know, is somebody that doesn't fit something that's like an Islam issue or something else, fine, then we'll go process the truth, whoever it is, whatever the background is of that individual.
But I tend to think right now, when you look across the country, we see the types of things that are happening.
And there is an attack being waged against conservatives, against people who support Israel, against people if they're not, you know, in line with the radical Islamic movement.
And we're seeing those attacks every single day.
And we had a hearing yesterday with witnesses talking about the Southern Poverty Law Center in the committee that I chair in the Subcommittee on the Constitution.
And we had Tony Perkins from the Family Research Council.
You remember a decade ago, they were shot up by somebody who found them on an SPLC hate map.
And we had Andrew Cipher, who was 10 feet from Charlie when Charlie was assassinated in September.
And Andrew testified about the extent to which SPLC's targeting of Turning Point and Charlie led to at least the climate and the environment that we're seeing unfold.
And Tyler O'Neill is a great journalist on this.
My point is, we're looking into this in Congress, but what we're seeing out of Brown is, I think, the opposite.
They don't want to seek the truth wherever it may lead.
benny johnson
So you're running for Texas Attorney General.
You'll obviously be partially in charge of making sure that students stay safe and that if somebody wants to commit a crime on a campus, that they're not able to, hopefully, or even if they do, that they're caught immediately.
I mean, what would you do in this situation?
How are you going to fix Texas schools, hardened Texas schools, make sure you don't have like a Uvalde situation and so on?
chip roy
Well, you've worked very closely with Texas DPS, with the governor, with the legislature there.
There's a lot of efforts to move in the right direction to improve security.
But obviously, and also we believe in making sure that our schools are fortified, but also that there are jurisdictions in Texas where teachers are armed and are able to respond accordingly.
And I think that we have to look at those options.
But as the attorney general, the biggest thing I would do is be standing up for the ability of people to be able to defend themselves and to go seek out and root out all of the dollars flowing into these groups that are fomenting this kind of these kinds of attacks.
That's the deal.
And, you know, there might be one-off attacks, but there's a coordinated effort that we're seeing unfold that has to be stopped.
The power of the attorney general is most strong in that regard.
We have law enforcement engagement.
We work with local law enforcement.
We work with DAs, but we have a very strong ability to go look at these NGOs, these nonprofits, go look at the flow of the dollars.
This stuff isn't accidental.
If you want to end this stuff, go cut the head off of the snake.
Go look at what's happening with the Soros funding, with Arabella, with the funding coming in from Gates, from the United Nations, from NGOs, from foreign sources.
Go look at all the entities that have nonprofits that are moving people illegally into the country.
What they're doing with the DAs and the REN collective.
All of those things are part of a vast network that we have to go root out and destroy.
That's where I think the AG can add the highest and best value while obviously working with law enforcement on the ground to make sure we're securing the people.
benny johnson
So that's very interesting.
Armed teachers and then making sure that schools are not gun-free zones so that if you're trying to find a soft target, you won't find one.
You could expect to be met with equal or hopefully greater and better trained force.
chip roy
Yeah, no, that's right.
And, you know, like I said, I've got school districts that I represent and others.
There's one school district, you go back and go by the school, and there's a sign up that says, warning, teachers armed, right?
And so I think some of that stuff is important.
It's certainly important in Texas.
But don't minimize, I think we shouldn't minimize the importance of stopping the organized effort that is driving this attack on our way of life, that is fueling the radical left, that is fueling this hatred by a young generation that's being filled with the ideas.
As we said in a hearing yesterday, go back and watch the testimony.
It's all purposeful to say that Charlie Kirk is a hater.
Right?
Charlie Kirk was talking about free speech and he was talking about, hey, come change my mind, right?
Come, let's sit in town and talk.
And, you know, that was the opposite of what they're portraying.
When they do that, they do it intentionally to foment the violence.
And we've got to go look at that.
Again, I'm not talking about interfering with free speech.
I'm talking about a coordinated effort by leftists that are doing it to terrorize and undermine our stability and our safety in our country.
benny johnson
Yes.
So, okay, let's talk about undermining safety in Texas.
We got a whistleblower tip that they had the live stream of an Afghan national who's planning on doing a car bomb in Dallas and Fort Worth.
And he said so on a TikTok stream.
We were able to translate it.
And sure, sure enough, Chip, that dude was like, yeah, I'm going to use my taxi to the people of Texas.
I hate the people of Texas, he says.
You know, they gave me refugee status here.
I live here.
They've given me welfare here.
And I hate them.
And I want to kill them.
And I'm going to use my car to do that.
And I'm going to go build a bomb.
And by a law, I'm going to go, I'm going to go kill as many Texans as I possibly can.
He says that on live streams, you know, it's like just patently evil.
Like, how are you going to deal with that?
Because we're seeing obviously the number of mosques explode in Texas, the Muslim population in Texas skyrocket.
You know, there's some real incompatibility problems when you're looking at the Epic City development.
How are you going to approach that as Attorney General?
chip roy
Well, first of all, in Congress, I've introduced legislation to pause all immigration, legal immigration included, because we need to reset.
We need to change our policies.
We need to adopt policies that would make sure that people who are adhering to Sharia law aren't coming in.
We need to review all of them and stop importing people who hate the country, hate the West.
Number two, as Attorney General, you know, we've got to use the legislation, the laws that we have.
There are things that we can do to go after places like Epic City and these organizations and entities using the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, using the statutes that they passed, trying to limit the ability of Epic City and these other entities to grow.
But importantly, you've got to use the bully pulpit to go out and talk about and highlight what's going on and say that individual.
If I don't have original jurisdiction to prosecute that individual, which I might not because the way our laws are written in Texas, you got to go into that individuals where the DA is and put pressure on the DA to prosecute that individual and then work directly with the feds.
And I'll be uniquely situated to do that, to work with the feds to remove this individual, to get rid of this individual.
And I don't know what his status is, but at some point, I don't really care.
When somebody's doing that, they're engaging in terroristic threats.
They need to be put in jail and/or removed from the country.
So we've got to work in a coordinated fashion with local governments, which, by the way, I don't think we're doing well enough.
I think the Attorney General can work with local sheriffs, local DAs to do a better job with 287G, which is a provision that allows us to coordinate with ICE, coordinate with DHS to remove bad actors, to remove people that are in conflict with our laws.
And number two, we've got to pass even better laws in Texas to be able to drive this stuff out.
And then, as Attorney General, use every law we have under the books to address it.
benny johnson
How's the PAWS Act doing?
Are you gaining support?
chip roy
Yeah, the PAWS Act is gaining support.
There's more members that are understanding why it's critical.
We've got to keep pushing through to get people to understand because what you have is the entrenched business interests here that say, oh, no, no, you can't do that.
We've got to have labor.
We've got to have, you know, certain people that, and I'm saying, guys, we have 51 and a half million foreign-born people.
We have a ton of Americans who are still seeking work.
We want to grow the economy.
America first means America first.
The president is right.
He keeps adding people to the adding countries to the list that we shouldn't be bringing people in from.
I think Congress needs to have a very clear message that says, let's pause and then let's reset and look at all the things that are a problem.
Diversity visas.
People don't realize we give something like 50,000 visas a year to people from low immigration countries for the sake of diversity.
We do that every year.
And I don't know the data from this year under this administration, but I can tell you the previous administration was ramping that up in full.
And chain migration, where you can get in your cousins and your aunts and your uncles and whatever, and then you flood the zone with more folks.
That's why we have a Somali problem in Minneapolis.
That's why we have a problem in Dallas.
That's why we have a problem in Dearborn.
We've been importing the problem.
So we should stop it.
Like literally right now, stop the bleeding, support Tom Homan in removing a lot of people.
And then let's reset the zone and change our laws so that we don't do this anymore going forward.
benny johnson
Yeah.
I mean, obviously, we've seen how it works in Little Mogadishu in Minneapolis.
So I don't know if you, how close you are in proximity to Ilhan Omar's office, but the White House is outposting that she married her brother.
Multiple members of Congress are telling me that there's a lot of truth to that, including people at DHS, and that she may have certainly committed immigration fraud.
And in that case, grounds for denaturalization and deportation.
So your thoughts on that and your colleague Ilhan Omar.
chip roy
Yeah, I mean, I think that they need to pursue the facts on Omar.
I think they need, by the way, look at Mamdani as well.
I think, you know, my friend Amy Meck with Rare, who follows a lot of the issues with the Islamification of America, has looked into a lot of the stuff on Mamdani as well as Elon.
But, you know, look, follow the truth wherever it may lead.
What are the questions about her, you know, status when she came here, what her age was, who she married, all of the stuff, and look and seek out the truth.
Same thing with Mamdani, same thing with other individuals.
We have too many people in this country that are getting leadership positions who literally want to undermine and change our country.
This is not becoming, this is not a melting pot.
This is not assimilation.
They're coming here to try to turn America effectively into Somalia or undermine our way of life.
So why would we do that?
And people say, well, gosh, that's controversial, Chip.
What's controversial about that?
We're Americans.
We love our country.
I'm in the Capitol building in the United States of America that was built through blood, sweat, and tears and people sacrificing life.
You walk through Arlington National Cemetery with reeds here during Christmas and you're like, oh, this is beautiful.
This is awesome.
Yeah, but what are we doing?
to the memories of all those people if we're literally turning the keys of this country over to the most radical elements around the world to come here and completely decimate this great land that we created for our kids and grandkids.
It's insane.
We should stop it.
We have a free will.
Don't get caught.
We get caught up in the minutiae as Republicans and say, well, I don't know.
I can't say that.
That might offend somebody.
Or, well, don't bring up the Islam issue because the First Amendment.
You don't have a religious liberty right to come here and undermine the rule of law, advance Sharia law, and try to take down our country.
That's not what religious liberty is.
Religious liberty is you can believe what you want to believe, but you're not going to destroy our country and destroy our culture and not get a response.
And you can't win a war if you don't recognize it exists.
And there is a war being waged on the United States of America and its leadership ought to act like it and respond.
benny johnson
Yes.
Yeah, I mean, like, obviously, immigration without assimilation is an invasion.
It's not immigration at all.
It's an invasion.
It is precisely what happened in Deuteronomy.
One of the last warnings of Moses is like, be careful who you let into your land because you let the wrong people in, they'll become your masters.
And that's what you're seeing right now.
You're seeing, obviously, people from these radical Islamist countries becoming the masters of America, leading our biggest cities and in the halls of Congress, apologizing for members of ISIS, marrying their brother.
Who knows?
You know, committing obviously billions of dollars worth of fraud.
chip roy
So one of the last conversations I had with Charlie, sadly, before he was killed, was on this topic, right?
And you and I may have even talked about this before, but literally it was about Islam.
And as you know, he was leading into that.
And he was a leading voice on that.
And I don't think we should shy away from speaking truth.
And I say that as a Christian.
I say that as a leader in this country, but we have got to speak truth about what's happening in that coordinated effort for the Islamification of America.
It is a battle and we need to win it.
benny johnson
Yes.
Yes, that's exactly right.
Praying five times a day to another nation.
You know, how are you supposed to build a country like that?
You know, I just, I don't, again, there's so many incompatibilities with Western civilization, and it's time to actually start speaking about them with force and with bravery as Christians.
Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Congressman, a very Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I think you'll make a spectacular attorney general.
Your team, I think, is telling my producers that you're doing quite well in the polls.
You're at 40% in the polls.
chip roy
Yeah, I mean, in the initial ballots, we're pretty far up in the polls and we're running strong and we want to win this by March 3rd in the first primary.
We don't want to have a runoff and waste money.
We want to get myself elected and then let's focus on getting Donald Trump a majority in the House with winning the elections next year.
We still got to do that.
I'm going to keep doing my thing here in Washington to try to make sure we do that and fight to get good bills and try to lead.
But I don't want to be the attorney general and watch Donald Trump getting attacked by a Democrat majority in the House.
So I want to win this race.
I want to win it outright by March 3rd, avoid a runoff, save money and go get House members elected.
benny johnson
Yeah, that's exactly right.
In closing here, is Mike Johnson going to be able to get all these executive orders codified?
We hear 150 executive orders potentially codified.
Is that even possible?
chip roy
Well, I know we're trying to work through that.
I mean, right now, you know, we've got, we've been managing through some of this health care disagreement with some of our, you know, more moderate members.
I'm not pleased that we're now turning the floor over to the Democrats with a discharge petition on the Obamacare subsidies, which they're COVID-era subsidies, which I think is a mistake.
We're trying to deal with that and work through it.
The speaker's been trying to work through that.
We need to codify the work of the administration.
We need to do things like HR2.
We need to codify a lot of the executive orders because we don't get permanent reform.
And I talk to Tom Homan about this all the time, by the way.
I'm saying, just take the issue of immigration and border security.
If we don't codify it, if you don't, you know, seal the gate, then guess what happens if we get a Democrat in January of 29 or January 33?
They will blow the lid off of it again, abuse parole, abuse asylum, and flood the zone.
And we'll be dealing with that same problem.
That's just one issue, border security.
But we've got to codify these executive orders and move forward so that we have permanence and predictability.
benny johnson
We would love that.
That would be maybe our Christmas wish.
And thank you very much, Congressman, for being such a strong and solid guest for us this year.
See you in the new year, and God bless you.
chip roy
God bless.
Merry Christmas, Benny, talking to you and all your listeners and your family.
God bless.
benny johnson
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
We say Merry Christmas again, ladies and gentlemen.

Ladies and gentlemen, Senator Ron Johnson is set and ready to go.
Let's rock and roll up to the great white north of Wisconsin, one of our favorite senators.
Senator, absolute bombshell from your office and from your committee about the FBI saying we shouldn't be raiding Donald Trump and the DOJ saying go raid him now.
And what's going to happen there?
And we were at Mar-a-Lago last night and just couldn't believe it when that news broke.
The documentation seems really damning.
ron johnson
Well, first of all, let me say Chip Roy is a phenomenal member of Congress.
We're going to miss him.
I'm sure he'll do a great job as Attorney General in Texas, but we're going to miss him here.
He's so incredibly knowledgeable and articulate.
I've enjoyed working with him.
He's one of the mainstays of our Wednesday night dinners, House and Senate members, where we try and get the conservative ball rolling here in the Senate.
But no, I mean, yeah, unfortunately, I'm not surprised by the revelation.
It should shock every American, but it's very frustrating for myself and Senator Grassley, who've been seeking these documents now for years.
Obviously, the Biden administration wasn't going to be turning over something so incriminating.
And it just shows really the tasks that Kash Patel and Pam Bonnie have in their hands, just trying to get people to cooperate with them, identify these documents, and turn them over to Congress so that we can make them public.
But I think we all suspected that there was really no reason for the FBI to raid President Trump's compound the way they did, Mar-a-Lago, a SWAT type of raid, orders to kill if necessary, which is pretty standard fare for that type of raid.
But that type of raid never should have occurred.
I mean, this would be something worked out between the former president and the archives.
Not the FBI, not the Department of Justice.
This is, again, this would be a little internal dispute here in terms of, okay, what records that, by the way, you have full classification for.
You're the one who classified and declassified documents.
This has been an ongoing dispute between presidents and the archives forever, and they turned this into a criminal type event.
It shows the corruption of Jack Smith and his Arctur Frost investigation.
benny johnson
What's going on at the FBI?
How have you what's your take on how the restructuring has gone?
I know there's a lot of rumors right now that Dan Bongino may be departing.
Do you have any knowledge of that?
And what more work needs to be done there?
There's obviously quite a bit of frustration.
Do you share in that?
ron johnson
Well, what you're seeing is the impact of the deep state and how difficult it is to get control of it.
So obviously the Trump administration understood some of the partisans.
They fired them.
A lot of the partisans just left.
They couldn't be part of a Department of Justice FBI under Donald Trump.
But then the lawfare that the left has engaged in, not just against Donald Trump or members of Congress, but I mean, just ordinary citizens.
I mean, we've got the prime example in Wisconsin, Judge Trupas, probably the premier election attorney, agreed to represent President Trump after the 2020 election.
There were all kinds of irregularities that needed to be looked at.
They were never adjudicated.
They just cloak of latches and they dismissed the case.
But an honorable man kept the president's options open by having an alternate slate of electors, just like JFK did in Hawaii.
Our attorney's general office said there was nothing improper about that to the Wisconsin Election Commission, and yet that a year later, that attorney general is trying to imprison Judge Trupas for life.
They're destroying him financially, probably a million dollars worth of legal fees.
Completely bogus prosecution here.
They're saying that the alternative state of electors was a forgery, a felony forgery.
It was done the open line of data.
There's nothing nefarious about it whatsoever.
So it's that kind of lawfare against ordinary citizens that make people very reluctant if you've got a legal career that you actually want to engage in after the Trump administration.
We know that law firms will blackball attorneys that would help President Trump, which is why President Trump had a hard time finding attorneys to defend him.
Okay, so Department of Justice, FBI has the exact same problem.
Terminations, people quit.
They're having a hard time staffing up those organizations to do all the work that needs to be done, clean up all the messes left over by the Biden administration, and just get control of the deep state.
That's why you can't expect one administration to do this in four years.
We need to win election after election after election if we're going to defeat the deep state and limit the size, scope, and cost of government.
benny johnson
So what about blue slips, Senator?
There's quite a bit of a debate over that right now.
Many people saying that this is an archaic and outdated process of withholding or having the senators be able to withhold the attorneys that would oversee their state.
Obviously, we might have slipped through the cracks the ability to prosecute Letitia James or James Comey because of this tradition.
Your take on that.
ron johnson
Well, first of all, it's a legitimate debate and discussion.
I've used the blue slip myself to keep some pretty bad people off of the courts, okay?
So we'll start there.
The problem is, as is always the case, Democrats are pushing it well beyond the normal precedent.
I mean, they're just not letting anybody through.
And just like they were so aggressive and obnoxious when it came to confirming President Trump's nominees.
During a normal first Congress of a presidency, somewhere around 1,000 nominees get confirmed.
President Trump, because of the obnoxious obstruction, no nominee being confirmed by unanimous consent.
Everything had to be voted for.
He had to go through the whole time issue.
He wasn't even going to get 500.
And so that obnoxiousness really led a conference or Republican conference that really didn't want to change the rules, which is a mere 50 votes, to unanimously do so.
The same thing may happen with blue slips.
So even though it's legitimate, as the filibuster, I mean, it's unfortunate Democrats break all these precedents.
They destroy the norms, that they don't respect these precedents.
They don't respect the rights of the minority.
I'm agreeing with President Trump on the filibuster, too.
It's like they're going to do it.
We got to recognize it.
If they get control, which is why we need to keep them from getting control, they're going to turn Puerto Rico, D.C. into states.
There's four more Democrat senators.
They will pack the Supreme Court.
They will turn America or they will attempt to turn it into a one-party nation.
That's why they're flooding the zone with millions of illegal immigrants that they then make dependent on government to vote for Democrats.
So this is a Democrat game plan.
The radical Democrats are at war with Republicans.
Unfortunately, not enough of my colleagues fully understand that.
They're thinking back to a bygone era when you can do things cooperative Democrats.
That's not today's Democrat Party.
They're a bunch of radical leftists.
They will destroy America if they gain power.
And we just have to understand the fact that they're going to change these precedents.
We better act before they do.
benny johnson
So acting before they do, there is an act that I will always believe in my heart center was an act of true terrorism that was implemented or at the very least encouraged because we've seen it so many different times in so many different scenarios by either Fed operatives or the deep state.
And that would be the January 6th pipe bomb.
Now, there's an individual who has been arrested for that, Brian Cole Jr.
Nothing makes any sense to us about that.
He's like an autist, spectrum-y guy living in his mom's basement, doesn't have any social media, fits the bill, right?
Same thing.
Thomas Crooks, Tyler Robinson has no social media, has no background in any of this, but they nabbed him and said he's the one who planted the pipe bombs.
What do you think about this story?
You've been such a champion and a crusader for J. Sixers and their rights.
This individual and his action was used in order to accelerate the charges against Jay Sixers into terrorism charges.
And so what's your make and take on the story?
ron johnson
Well, again, we've been investigating this.
We were told that the ATT, AT ⁇ T data was corrupted, so they couldn't use it.
Now we're saying, well, apparently they use that to find this guy.
So again, I don't know what's true.
I just have a suspicion that the Biden administration purposefully deep six the investigation didn't follow up on it for whatever reason.
I don't know.
None of it makes sense.
I hope we find out in the end.
Like I'd like to find out more about Thomas Crooks.
I can't explain why we're not getting answers and we're not getting answers out of, quite honestly, the Trump Department of Justice and FBI.
Again, I've got a great deal of sympathy with what they've, you know, all the messes they've got on their hands trying to clean up and just the problem with staffing.
Again, people who do wrong, they cover their tracks.
Those operators that are still in government, they're going to continue to frustrate efforts to find the truth and expose the truth.
So that's true in the health agencies.
That's truth in the FBI and Department of Justice.
So I wish I could provide more satisfying answers, but I am probably more frustrated than any American when it comes to the fact that we don't know a lot that we should know.
benny johnson
Yeah, we don't know so much of this.
We do know that Dr. Fauci has been referred to the Department of Justice for lying to Congress, among many other crimes.
And apparently, that pardon is null and void now that Dr. Fauci got.
Very strange thing to pardon Fauci, isn't that something?
Just in conclusion here, I know this has been obviously something you care about very deeply and the COVID cover-up.
Can you give us an update on that, Senator?
ron johnson
Pardon?
Is he going to?
benny johnson
Yeah, what's going to happen?
Is he going to be charged by the DOJ?
Is the DOJ going to take any action against Fauci?
Well, again, there's ever going to be any accountable?
ron johnson
All these pardons that President Trump now has declared null and void, they'll all be adjudicated.
And they might have to be adjudicated individually by individual.
Did Biden actually know about that pardon versus that pardon?
And of course, there were thousands of them.
So it's hard to predict.
What we do know is Anthony Fauci is a very bad person.
Okay, bottom line.
Probably the nice thing you can say about him.
Read Bobby Kennedy's The Real Anthony Fauci book and you find out exactly what a bad person Fauci is.
He lied to America.
He lied to Congress repeatedly.
Put us on this path toward the COVID injection, which now we know conclusively FDA has looked at autopsies and they've always given the benefit of the doubt.
If you couldn't conclusively show that that injection caused the death, we're not saying it did.
10 of the 96 autopsies they reviewed, conclusively the injection killed those children, those children that had virtually zero chance of having a serious adverse event from just COVID disease itself.
This needs to be fully exposed.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
And Anthony Fauci was really the main henchman that really lied to the American public and implemented all these awful, this miserably failed response to COVID.
benny johnson
Yeah, I mean, what accountability should there be?
This seems like perhaps one of the worst crimes against humanity to push those injections on American, those experimental injections on Americans and the world.
ron johnson
Well, accountability starts with exposure.
And that may be the most that we can hold them accountable.
But that's for a guy like Anthony Fauci who wants a legacy like Jonas Salk or something like that, destroying his reputation is holding him to a great extent accountable.
benny johnson
Well, that would be a great Christmas present for us.
And we're trying to lock in some wins here at the end of the year.
And we just want to say thank you, Senator, for being such a distinguished guest on this program, for always speaking with truth and clarity in some of the massive mess that we have to clean up in D.C.
And it's good to at least see some people getting started.
Senator Ron Johnson is just one of those guys that fights for us.
He has 700,000 subscribers on X. You should be one of them.
Godspeed, Senator.
Merry Christmas.
ron johnson
Merry Christmas and Godspeed to all of your listeners.
benny johnson
Thank you, Senator.
Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump is adding five new countries to the travel ban as he prepares for a large national address tonight at 9 p.m.
We will be live.
For that, the Trump administration expanding the travel ban to include five more countries to impose new limits on others.
This move on Tuesday is part of an ongoing effort to tighten U.S. entry standards, travel and immigration.
The decision follows the arrest of Afghan nationals for the shooting of National Guard's troops.
So let's go ahead and read.
At this time, the ban includes Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ethyria, whatever that is, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen.
Heightened restrictions for Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
Again, Iritia, Ethereum, he's banning a crypto.
Erethia, I don't even know what this country is.
What is this country?
Hold on, I'm searching right now.
Where is that?
What is that?
Okay.
I guess it is an actual country.
It's right near Sudan and Ethiopia and Djibouti, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia.
So there you go.
In case you're wondering what that is, I'm definitely not saying it right.
Irita.
Iritia.
unidentified
Whatever.
benny johnson
Don't care.
Not my country.
This is a reporter did an interview with me last night.
I was like, she was like, what do you think about this or that in the Middle East?
I was like, I don't care.
It's not my country.
I don't care.
Glad they're doing great.
Merry Christmas.
Are you allowed to say that?
In the UAE, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't care.
It's not my nation.
It's not my country.
I'm not going to buy a house there.
Not going to move there.
So we're going to stay here and fight.
What are we doing, ladies and gentlemen?
We're making sure that we stay and fight.
And why are we fighting?
Because, no, I'm not going to move to a Muslim country.
No, not going to move to a Jewish country.
I'm not going to move to any other country.
We're going to stay rooted right here.
My kids are American.
This is our only passport.
This is our only nation.
And it's worth fighting for.
The First Liberty Institute does fight for this country, and they do so every single day.
The First Liberty Institute challenges left-wing policies meant to erode the religious bedrock of this nation.
They have a win rate of over 90% at the Supreme Court, including 9-0 record.
This is why they are on the front lines battling for your religious freedom.
They released the Religious Liberty State Index, which is a peer-reviewed study that shows how free or what religious liberties are under attack in your state.
My home state is Iowa, and there was a satanic statue that was put up in the Capitol at the state capitol in Des Moines.
And I was enraged by that.
They were able to put up a bathomet, they were able to honor Satan in the state capital of Iowa.
Kick-ass dude went and beheaded that statue.
Freaking great.
And then he won every single case afterwards.
And that made me very, very proud, ladies and gentlemen, to be in Iowan.
Anyway, find out what's going on in your state.
FirstlibertyInstitute.org slash Benny.
B-E-N-N-Y.
Firstliberty.org slash Benny.
Firstliberty.org slash Benny.
And you can get your state rankings for religious freedom.
Sorry about that.
Boy, we have had this off like a whole for like a month.
ALX, what do we got for good news?
Let's just go through some good news at the very end of the show here.
I know I sent a couple of very quick and quick blind items right at the beginning.
So let's do that.
Let's do some very, let's do some really good news at the end of the show.
What do we got here, Klein?
Melania Trump's trailer for her brand new documentary.
Okay, that dropped.
And encourage you to go watch.
It looks like Melania Trump, Melania Trump's gotten the sort of Hollywood treatment here.
And we'll be watching, honestly, this is going to be an Amazon, Amazon.
I think it's about like $40 million on this documentary.
They polled here, according to Reuters, Ipsos, which is hardly a right-wing polling company, showing effectively a neck and neck tie for the 2026 generic ballot.
Boy, that's not good for Democrats.
It's never like that.
You got 39% versus 40%.
Which party is doing better on policy?
So on crime, Republicans walking away with it.
Immigration, Republicans walking away with it.
And the economy, Republicans walking away with it.
So cost of living is split.
It's Democrat plus one.
Democratic values.
Okay, whatever that is.
And healthcare.
Okay, so healthcare is left-wing coded, obviously.
We know this.
But boy, those are great.
Those are great polls.
There's a ton of doomers in the audience.
Well, just on social media.
There's a ton of doomers on social media.
So screw them.
Things are looking like even.
And things looking even as good because I think there's going to be some really, really great things that happen.
I want to share one more poll on, yes, exactly.
Who is trusted more on what issue?
Crime, Republicans plus 15.
Immigration and the economy.
Well, that and cost of living is even.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is going to shift dynamically towards Republicans.
With the big, beautiful bill implemented, that's $500 billion more dollars to DHS for deportations.
That's going to see cost of living absolutely crash.
It's going to be awesome.
The economy is going to go rip roaring.
Obviously, immigration is a big problem.
Republicans are already winning on that big time.
And crime.
Of course, that's what comes with a zero trust society and unlimited immigration and open borders.
So I see positive skies ahead.
That's just me.
I'm a sunny side of the street kind of guy, glass half full.
Silver linings, and that's what we're going to carry with us into the rest of this holiday season.
Got one more show before we head out to Arizona.
And it's going to be, yeah, I think it's going to be a wonderful time.
We're looking forward to the energy.
We're looking forward to the people.
We're looking forward to the vibes and the aura, 30,000 patriots.
And, well, this is what we're fighting for.
Verse of the day from 1 John 4, 9.
In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only son into the world that we might live through him.
This is the manifestation of love.
It's Jesus Christ.
Love, ladies and gentlemen.
Peace.
And the eternal promise that we will win.
That is what the Christmas season is all about.
Following in the words and the ways of Christ Jesus, our Lord, and re-centering our lives, Christ-centering our lives on the Christ child this season.
It's your boy Benny.
Keep fighting with us.
We're going to win.
See ya.

Guess what day?
Guess what?
Guess what?
Woo-hoo!
I'll tell you the tale of a place without snow.
A place Santa's reindeer dare not go, but we will go on cracker, on trigger, on wicker, on pork chop, on brain rot, on my mark.
Let the bag drop.
How can we go to a place without snow?
Trump made a blockade, so no presence for Maduro.
But guess what?
Guess what?
Everything will be okay.
Guess what day, what day it is?
It's hump day, get it on!
