And it comes after independent journalist Nick Shirley came to Minneapolis and he went door to door and he knocked on these Somalian-owned daycare centers.
I'm sure you've seen the video by now.
And it says, he says that most of the daycare centers were just empty.
So he wanted to know what was going on.
And then the signs were even spelled wrong.
So one of the signs, the Learing Center, should have been the learning center.
So people are saying, who is even teaching these kids inside if kids are even showing up in the first place?
And the Fed say many of those daycare centers in that video are under investigation for fraud, but have still been getting paid millions and millions of dollars by the state.
You can see the numbers there on your screen.
So Governor Walls has pushed back on these allegations.
He says Nick Shirley's delusional.
He's a conspiracy theorist.
Who cares about him?
But prosecutors say, just look at the documents.
They say the fraud has been going on for years with at least $9 billion of taxpayer money stolen and counting so these Somalians could live the life of luxury.
So far, the DOJ has charged nearly 100 people, 100 people in Minnesota for these cases.
85 of them are Somalians.
So when people ask, why are we talking about the Somalian community?
That's because it's in the paperwork.
They pretend to run anything, Lawrence, from a daycare center to a housing service to a medical program, and they just take the money.
It's like a shell company.
They don't really offer the services, according to the Fed.
So back out here live, the White House says, we're not sending you any more money, okay, Minnesota.
We're not going to send it to you until you can prove where you're going to use it, how you're going to use it.
And they want Governor Tim Walz, who might be abandoning his next call for governor next round, to come to D.C. and testify.
We hope that you have gotten off to a rip-roaring year.
Just like us, we are locked in and ready to go refreshed, rebuilt, revitalized for a revival of this country and nation.
Hot damn 2025 sucked the way that it ended.
What do I mean by that?
I'm not trying to be a downer here.
I'm just trying to say, like, man, sometimes you just got to fight through it.
Sometimes you just got to keep going.
That's how winning is done.
You keep going.
And President Trump saw, you know, some ups and downs in 2025.
There were some, there's some good, bad, and ugly.
And now it looks like, well, the pages have turned.
And 2026 is going to be our year.
You can feel it in your bones.
This is the crucible year where we burst forth and where we take back not only our nation, but our hemisphere and perhaps even our world.
It is going to be an incredible time and just a reintroduction to you of our channel.
This is a channel built by you.
You, the American people.
We answer to you.
In fact, the vast majority of our investigations, our content, all of it is decided actually by you in the chat.
We are your vessel.
I am a dude from Iowa.
I grew up in the middle of a bunch of hog farms and corn farms.
I went to community college.
I'm not better than you.
I don't have a higher IQ than you.
I have a room temperature IQ.
It's very comfortable.
It's 75.
I am a father.
I'm a husband.
I am a simple American and a simple Christian.
And I just want to leave the country better for my kids than I found it.
Proverbs said that that's what a blessed generation does.
They leave an inheritance for their children's children.
And that is what I wish to do.
This country is my inheritance.
I have no other.
I was born here.
My grandpappies were born here.
My family's fought in and, quite frankly, took bullets for this country.
And I don't want to see that sacrifice go to waste.
This is the birthright for you and for me.
I don't want to see it stolen through fraud.
I don't want to see it stolen by globalists.
I don't want to see it attacked with chemical or biological weapons off our shores.
I want America to be strong and dominant and real, real scary to our enemies.
And so it is with that, ladies and gentlemen, that wonderful reintroduction, that we welcome us all back to the Benny Show.
We are going to have an incredible year.
We are ready for it.
God bless you in this, the new year monday, january 5th, 2026.
Tim Walz has resigned, not from his office I think that might come next but from the governor's race.
That is breaking news.
As of right now, Tim Walz is out we're going to cover it on the show somebody who we've become quite close with, Jd Vance.
We were able to travel with him a little bit last year.
We have a lot of really exciting things locked in for this year.
He is a new victim of an assassination attempt.
We've seen enough.
I mean, I got to tell you if there's a bitter pill to swallow from 2025, it's losing my friend and our future president, Charlie Kirk, and the downstream concussive effects of that have been very bad and we've had to fight through them.
It's been a spiritual battle.
I am sick of watching my friends get shot in the head.
I'm sick of watching my fret presidents take a bullet.
I am sick of the assassination culture of the left and Jd Vance was a victim of it last night.
They have a suspect arrested, seems like a mentally ill far left winger, Tick Tock, terminally online zoomer, who sort of matches the archetype, the Thomas Crooks uh, you know, uh Robinson, to archetype that you see and I am sick of it.
So we're going to talk about it here.
Jd Vance's home was attacked.
Thank god they got the guy um.
Jd Vance obviously has two little children, wife at home.
Uh, this was his home in Ohio, in Cincinnati.
Now Trump names his next target after Maduro capture.
We're going to talk about why this is a very good thing and why you shouldn't be calling him president Maduro.
We're going to jump into all of it with a stacked show.
We are so pumped about the show.
Trisha Mclaughlin, who is the deputy assistant at the Department OF Homeland Security, will be live on the program.
What a massive show to have her on with.
Tim Walz uh dropping out of the race in total and complete humiliation after the exposure of mass Somali fraud in his state.
Trishia Mclaughlin from DHS will be able to sound off on that Wesley Hunt American veteran uh senate candidate in the state of Texas, also on the program.
Somebody who's fought in our wars will be able to talk about Venezuela, and Emmanuel Rincone, also someone who has deep and thoughtful knowledge about South America, will be locked and loaded to give us all of the dish on Venezuela.
Get ready, ladies and gentlemen, locked in, show back ablazing for the new year.
My name is Benny Johnson and this is the Benny Show.
Okay, speaking of blazing, I think that there's dragons in this.
I don't know.
Actually, I'm not sure.
I don't get time to watch a lot of TV.
But if I did watch, well, I would watch something that is fantasy vibes.
I mean, listen, man, I'm a massive Lord of the Ring fan.
I'm not like, you know, it's like, what else can you be?
It's just the single greatest fantasy ever written.
I'm repulsed by what they, what Hollywood has done with modern-day fantasy series.
They've tried to destroy Star Wars.
They've done a great job of it.
They tried to destroy the Lord of the Rings.
Amazon's in the process of doing that right now.
And so fight back with productions that are true to form with the Pendragon cycle, Rise of Merlin at Daily Wire Plus.
This is the latest original series from the Daily Wire, a seven-part cinematic epic based on novels by Stephen R. Lawhead.
This isn't just another fantasy series.
It's a story of belief, redemption, and the origins of Western civilization told through a fresh retelling of the Arthurian legend.
It's the center of Merlin emerging as a bridge between the old world of darkness and the new world of light.
Ladies and gentlemen, you can see the trailers here on screen.
The production value is absolutely choice.
Sweeping landscapes, authentic sets, and practical effects bring the world to life.
No AI slop.
It is a wonderful thing that we are creating our own universe, our own content, our own entertainment.
It's been long coming.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Pendragon cycle is available exclusively on Daily Wire Plus, January 2020.
Sorry, correction, January 22nd, 2026.
There we go.
You can watch the trailer now at pendragonseries.com.
Charlie Kirk was the man who put together JD Vance.
We're just going to talk about the JD Vance assassination here.
Put together JD Vance and Donald Trump.
How could you do that?
I mean, listen here.
If you go back into JD Vance's writings from like, you know, four or five years ago, this guy had some pretty naughty things to say about Donald Trump.
And these are like the, this is the reality that like sometimes people are not going to get along.
Sometimes people are going to change their opinions.
And most importantly, sometimes, people can be brought together by the right actors, by people who have the right focus in order to narrow our focus to our true enemy.
And our true enemy is the violent left.
Our true enemy is the violent left that seeks to kill.
Not to debate, but to kill us.
That is what we are fighting.
Those who do not wish to engage in explaining themselves or trying to posit their opinions, but who instead has decided to silence our opinions with bullets.
But having people attack each other just for the memes, just for the vibes, just for the clicks, for the engagement, saying, I don't care about the midterms.
No, this is probably our most viral tweet from last year.
No, I do care about the midterms.
I care about people trying to trans my children.
I care about people coming to my home to attack my family.
Yes, I care about that.
I care about my friends getting shot.
I care about my president getting shot.
I care about my vice president getting attacked, which is, maybe we should start talking about that.
Maybe we can get into, maybe we can get into it for a second.
So we had a blast at America Fest, blasting the drama and not wanting to engage in anything other than vision casting about what the true enemy is.
The reason we're leading with the story of JD Vance's assassination attempt, which is what it was, this morning, is because JD Vance is just one in a very long line of proof of who our true enemy is.
If JD Vance was home, this sociopath who attacked his house, who got so close that he was able to smash JD Vance's windows.
Well, if you're able to smash his windows, if you're able to attack his windows, smash into his windows, how close are you to getting into his house?
Well, very close, actually.
Go back, please.
Show me the windows.
So he was able to smash a hammer through JD Vance's home.
Well, that means that you could have pointed a gun directly at JD if he was standing in that room.
Multiple people in federal prison right now because they've done the same thing to my house in their own, in different ways, gone up to me, attacked my family, threatened my family, threatened to kill us.
This is terror.
This is completely effed up.
It's terrible.
And you need to take these kind of things extremely seriously.
He kills Melissa Hortman, who was the single vote that ended free health care for criminal aliens in Minnesota.
And what we've learned is what a lucrative business that is over the break.
And so, no, I'm not going to accept your false paradigm that it's a both sides issue.
Political violence is a both sides issue.
No, the bullets are only going one way.
And they went towards JD Vance last night.
Let's read the top line here from the New York Post.
A man arrested after using a hammer to break windows at JD Vance's home.
A 26-year-old Ohio man was arrested for smashing JD Vance's house.
William DeFour is his name.
He's charged with obstructing official business, criminal damaging, and endangering criminal trespass vandalism, according to the Hamilton County jail records.
His first court appearance is Tuesday.
He's like a psychotic babyface loser.
Here, look at this guy.
The Associated Press, citing two law enforcement officials, reported that Secret Service agents heard loud noises at the home, smashing of the windows, broken windows with a hammer, trying to get in the house.
Dude was able to get right up to JD Vance's house and enter his home.
Thank God JD Vance wasn't there.
He said in a statement on X, I appreciate everybody's well wishes after the attack on our home.
As far as I can tell, it was crazy, dude, trying to hammer out my windows.
Grateful to the Secret Service, Cincinnati police.
Just call it what it is.
Call it what it is.
You're like, you're a tattoo.
Like the guy was able to walk right up to JD Vance's window and to enter his house by smashing a hammer through the glass.
So that's a weapon that has that is now that is now been inside of JD Vance's private residence.
It's terrifying.
So what if it was a gun?
Again, what if you smashed the window and then you had a pistol?
Right?
You had a handgun.
And you could just, you know, open fire into the house.
What if JD's family was there?
Thankfully, they weren't.
Let's go ahead and read the full JD Vance statement here up on screen.
I appreciate everybody's well wishes about the attack on our home.
As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in and hammering my windows.
I'm grateful to the Secret Service and Cincinnati Police for responding so quickly.
We weren't home.
We had returned to D.C. One request, the media.
We try and protect our kids as much as possible from the realities of this life, public service.
In that light, I'm skeptical of the news value of plastering images of our home with holes in the window.
So he's saying, don't put the photos up.
I mean, I don't know, man.
Streisand effect.
I guess it just is what it is.
It's all over, you know, it's all over social media right now.
William DeFore.
Let's just put up one more time, this image.
You know, and ask yourself, what do you think is going on here exactly?
Same thousand-yard stare, same completely like bugged out look, you know, acne, like bull cut, mullet, terminal loser.
It's got that Tyler Robinson, Matthew Crooks vibe going on, right?
How many of these guys are ops?
Yeah, so you can see the, you can see the smashing windows.
It's in a nice neighborhood of Cincinnati.
Man, he bought the house in 2018.
DeFour pleaded guilty to two counts of vandalism that caused more than $2,000 worth of damage to an interior design company.
He was sentenced to treatment at a mental health facility for two years, required to pay $5,000 restitution.
I guess that you could like, I guess we're just going to have to see, but there's no way he doesn't know that this is the vice president's house.
There's secret service there.
Sorry, I'm not going to buy that like, oh, it's just a random act.
No, dude.
No.
No.
It's JD Vance's house.
I remember JD Vance was selected as vice president.
They had all the cameras outside of this house.
There's the live shot outside of the house.
You could see the vehicles moving in and out.
So yeah.
This is the enemy.
This is the enemy.
I disavow all drama.
I disavow it.
And these people will kill and continue to kill and continue to attack our families because this seems to be their only option now.
As we're arresting communist dictators around the world, frog marching them through New York City, as we're ending voter fraud, as we're ending Somali fraud, as we're doing mass denaturalizations and deportations, President Trump gaining power, gaining popularity.
Trump wins the Hispanic vote with his Maduro move.
And now, even like the most powerful Democrats on earth, the guy who's supposed to be the second most powerful man on earth, Tim Walz, and probably would have been if the election rigging machines from Venezuela, which is really what it's all about.
I'll tell you about that in just a second.
The election rigging machines from Venezuela hadn't been stopped by Elon Musk and others.
That's a fact.
That story is 100% real.
I have that from direct sources.
Then we would probably have Tim Walz as our vice president.
Instead, Tim Walz is dropping out.
That is the breaking news from this morning, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll get to it in just one moment.
It is a new year.

Tim Walz has dropped out.
That's right, ALX.
He has dropped out.
Not expected.
Tim Walz has dropped out.
Let's update everything, please.
And get me the breaking Fox News report here on Tim Walz officially dropping out.
We've now learned this.
There were a lot of rumors this morning, but Tim Walz has now officially done it.
Let's read his statement and then let's load up the Fox News, the Fox News report here.
Minnesota has to come first always.
Today, I'm proud of the work that we've done to make Minnesota the best place to raise kids.
I've decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.
Okay, look at this statement.
Too long, didn't read, but I'm happy for you or I'm really sorry.
That's how it goes, right?
Happy for you or really sorry that happened.
Look at this.
Not going to read all this.
Complete garbage.
He's getting completely ratioed.
7,000 comments to 2,000 reposts.
He's got more comments than he has likes on this post.
Tim Walz completely and totally exposed, ladies and gentlemen.
And this is the single most devastating action by an independent journalist since Acorn.
Since Acorn.
Now, if you're old enough to remember, you're old enough to remember it was James O'Keefe breaking the Acorn scandal back in 2008, 2009, right when Barack Obama took office.
Acorn was, of course, a money laundering, fraudulent organization that got tons of federal dollars in order to rig elections.
And this is what Tim Walz was just caught doing.
Let me explain how it works from people on the ground in Minnesota.
And we've been doing nothing but phone calls over this break and doing a lot of work on building up our own.
Oh, Klein, did you post that?
I ain't reading that, but I'm happy for you or sorry it happened.
That's right.
So we called our sources on the ground in Minnesota.
And here's what they tell us.
You know, Somalis live in like two buildings.
You know, they're in like two massive skyscrapers that were effectively built for them.
It's like this giant death star of Somalis.
And they, these two houses, these, they're, they're compact, right in the perfect location for them to be able to sway a massive amount of the internal politics in Minneapolis and in St. Paul, the two twin cities, as they're called.
These Somalis vote, of course, in a block.
They don't even vote.
How it works is Tim Walz makes a deal with the Somali leaders that Somalians will be able to commit piracy.
Reminder, the top profession, the sole profession of the collapsed, failed Somali state is pirate.
That is the chosen profession of the people of Somalia, pirate.
They'll get to do their chosen profession, pirate, here in this country.
Tim Walz will look the other way.
He will do zero investigation.
The money will flow as long as the ballots keep flowing back to Tim Walz.
This is how it's done.
This is how it's been done in Minneapolis.
And this is how Tim Walz and Democrats win.
If you go through and you check these Minnesota elections, they always happen by a whisker.
Just a couple hundred votes here and there.
Just a few votes here and there.
Sometimes it's like Joe Biden winning with 100,000 votes.
Well, there's 100,000 Somalis in Minneapolis.
How many of them are vouch votes?
You know, an individual can show up at a precinct on election day in Minnesota and vouch for eight of his friends.
Somebody who runs a business, a building, somebody who works inside of a tenant building, like some of the massive Death Star tenant housing for Somalis in Minneapolis, can vouch for unlimited numbers of building residents.
Do you understand like the level of fraud that is occurring in Minnesota, not just the billions of dollars stolen and exposed by Nick Shirley that we have been covering aggressively over the break, but also the election fraud?
I mean, imagine how bad that is.
So you have a tenant housing, you have tenant housing with hundreds of thousands, hundreds of tens of thousands of Somalis living in it.
One employee of that housing can walk up to the precinct and said, I am vouching for all of them.
They are all in my building.
Here's 10,000 more votes.
And how many precincts can they do that in?
They can just run around and do that everywhere, all throughout Minneapolis, all throughout St. Paul, in the surrounding areas.
Minnesota is a red state that is swamped and overwhelmed with third world fraud.
And now, in the single greatest achievement in the history, arguably, of independent journalism, rivaling only the Acorn investigation by James O'Keefe over a decade ago, Nick Shirley has done it.
He has stopped, stopped the Somali fraud and ended Tim Walz' political career.
I ended Tim Walz.
Elon Musk responding, thank God.
Amen.
And it wouldn't have been possible without X. What a remarkable moment here.
The corporate media didn't report on this.
This got no coverage from the AP, from CNN.
It's got no coverage from the Washington Post, from the New York Times.
And now the man who was batter up to be president, batter up to be the Democrat nominee, a heartbeat away from the presidency, is resigning in disgrace.
The value of what we are building here.
Huge shout out to Nick Shirley, Elon Musk, coming in over the top saying, and so we bid adieu or whatever they say in Somali to traitor Tampon Tim.
Major breaking political news out of St. Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Tim Walz will not seek re-election as governor.
And what a fall from grace this has been for him.
You might recall in the spring of 2023, he pushed through several progressive ideas to the state legislature that caught the attention of Barack Obama, who went to Twitter to give his endorsement for the programs, which eventually caught the attention of people like Kamala Harris, who chosen to be his, her running mate as the vice president.
Introduced in Chicago at the convention in August of last year, a debate that was an absolute disaster with JD Vance at one point called himself a knucklehead.
But after reportedly billions of dollars have been stolen from taxpayers, by way of the state of Minnesota, Tim Walz says he will not seek a third term.
What a remarkable two years in the national spotlight has been for him, Dana.
Just a massive shout out to Nick Shirley, who did, who exposed this and showed how easy it would be.
You just walk up and try and check your child in.
Every other daycare in the world would say, oh, yeah, sure, another customer.
Here's the paperwork.
Not the Somali daycares.
The only business in the history of the world impervious to not having any customers, any children, any prospects, and screams, slams the door in your face and calls the cops if you try and be a customer of theirs.
Yeah, it's all fraud.
They all have to go to jail and they should be purp walked, frog marched, just like Trump just did with Nicholas Maduro.
US live now is the great congressman from the state of Texas and candidate for U.s Senate, Wesley Hunt.
Congressman, welcome back after a break.
You've got to be uh whistling Dixie, you know, when it comes to uh, the last, the last 48 hours, you've uh, you've like, spent your entire life fighting for an America that is as strong as what we've just witnessed in uh Venezuela, and there's so many things to talk about, but why don't we just start there, since I know that that is your cup of tea as somebody who's flown Apache helicopters uh, you've got to get you.
You, you must have been uh freaking, bursting when you saw those helicopters and fortunate son playing in the background, flying over Caracas as the bombs dropped.
Um, when it unfolded early in the morning, I was paying attention and I was watching it from two o'clock in the morning.
I did.
I didn't want to go back to sleep monitoring the situation, oh my no, and I was looking at my boys going there, going there, getting after, and I was like yes, please go get some.
This is the whole point of what it means to be America first, and I want people to understand something, a lot of people that think that now we're getting in endless quagmires and endless wars.
That's not what's happening.
Let's listen to Democrats that were talking so much trash about Iran and how we're going to get into World War III, and now we hear crickets.
Now we see a strategic, precise operation that can only be done by the greatest fighting force that exists on planet earth to remove Maduro, and it was nothing short of majestic.
I've never seen anything like this, this kind of precision, basically in the history of the entire country, and when I watched Marco Rubio and I watched the secretary of war talk about this, you know f around and find out.
If you don't know, now you know.
If you think about the warning that he gave to Maduro months ago, Maduro should have taken the deal, but this is what America First is all about.
If you've noticed, we're not going to be involved in the Endless War.
I am somebody that was involved in the Endless War.
This is strategic.
This is positioning us as leaders in the world, and we're not going to spend trillions of dollars doing this.
In fact, we probably spent the equivalent of a pack of new ports and some bubbolicious to basically remove a dictator and then guess what?
We get oil on top of it.
Let's go.
If you're watching, paying attention, we are not going to end up in an endless war.
This is positioning, positioning ourselves in the world to let everybody know that we are in charge.
Look at us, we are the captains.
Now, this is what it means to be America first, to lead from the front and not get in endless wars.
This is the message that's been shot across the bow and now the world's going to have to pay attention to us.
President Trump is in charge.
Daddy's home.
And now you have to understand that.
This is what America first means.
And i'll end with this, brother.
A lot of people feel like, well, you know, why would we, you know, go and attack Venezuela?
Why would we do that?
Why would we remove a dictator?
You know, is this really the whole point of this?
Hold on, this is America leading.
And then you watch and see the fallout.
We're not going to spend Trillions of dollars in this quagmire.
We are not going to spend our own treasure and non-resources.
In fact, we're going to spend their own treasure.
We're going to spend and use their oil to pay for this.
And on top of that, we are ending narco-terrorism that's absolutely destroying the very heart and soul of this country.
It's when you're looking at what happens when we use a strategic, precise operation to achieve an objective that's been identified and clearly stated.
Let's get this job done and then we could just move on.
And by the way, this was done.
I was up at two o'clock in the morning watching it.
And by the time I had a cup of coffee in the morning, a Maduro was on the USS Iwo Jima.
That's exactly the point.
That's the capabilities that we have when we have strong leaders.
But here's the funny part about this.
I am watching my Democrat colleagues and liberals have a complete meltdown over this.
These are the same people that were talking about no kings.
This is the same people that are talking about President Trump being a king.
We literally remove a ruthless narco-terror dictator, and then now you're defending him.
See, this is where we start having silly season in politics and silly season amongst us because these are not serious people.
At the end of the day, your Trump derangement syndrome should not be more important than your care for this country.
Guess what?
This was a righteous hit.
This was a good idea.
This is going to work out not just for us, but for the entire world.
We warned this guy and he didn't heed the warning.
And then now you paid the consequences.
And under the Obama administration, how many times have President Obama threatened somebody, but then didn't take any action?
And then they just rolled over us.
That is not the America that we have today.
And watching my liberal colleagues have a complete meltdown over getting rid of Maduro.
Oh my gosh, this is exactly the point.
And going into the midterms, that this is the position of strength that we are leading from.
And this is how the America First Agenda needs to continue to be.
And then watch and see what happens, Benny.
We are not going to be in the endless war.
We're not going to spend trillions of dollars.
We're not going to lose 5,000 soldiers.
I mean, 14 of those 5,000 or some of my West Point classmates that gave their lives for this great nation.
And by the way, the sacrifice was not wasted.
Obviously, giving your life for this great nation is a way to die in honor.
Let's make sure that we have leaders that if we're going to use our greatest resource, which is our sons and daughters, that we that go into battle and fight for freedom and fight for our country, we'll use it for the right reasons.
What I also voted for was communists getting blackbagged in the dark of night, thrown into the back of a helicopter, watching us lob a couple heaters in the Hugo Chavez tomb and then frog marched through New York City as Zorhan Mandami watches.
I love this footage.
I love the fact that it's all happening in 4K and also signing away the waiver and variants for them to fly right over the Statue of Liberty.
What a elegant touch for President Trump.
Talk to me about this, Congressman.
The footage of Maduro every single second, chained and dragged through New York.
A humiliation ritual.
There it is.
What an unbelievable footage.
Flying Maduro, the communist dictator, over the Statue of Liberty, while Zorhan Mandami and AOC sit there and watch, helplessly, learning about all of it on X.
It seems to be also a political strategy and masterclass by the president.
And I would like to think that as they flew over the Statue of Liberty, they lifted up his blindfold and said, look at old Lady Liberty right there, looking there beautiful in our great state of New York.
This is absolutely unbelievable.
This is what freedom is all about.
Welcome to America.
And check out that perk walk on top of it.
Let's perp walk this guy after you called us cowards, after you said, come and get me.
You're never going to do that.
America doesn't have that kind of might.
America doesn't have that kind of power.
And then I listened to General Rays and Kane's description of what happened.
Bro, we knew what you had for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
We knew where you were.
We knew where your family lived.
We knew exactly where you were going to be at any time.
And we can get you whenever we want.
That's exactly what we did.
This is the definition of American strength.
This is the definition of American might.
And we don't have to get in endless wars when we behave this way because people will just simply respect us.
The reason why, you know, you watch President Trump, you know, basically missiling boats off the coast, narco boats off the coast of America is because of this.
Imagine being a narco-terrorist and you're sitting there trying to smuggle drugs into this country.
You might wake up and eat a missile in the morning.
See, that's called the ultimate act of deterrence.
And people have to understand that there are people in this world that want to see the end of this great nation.
They want to kill every last one of us.
This is the kind of strength that we have to display.
That's the definition of peace through strength.
And then we're going to perp walk this leader through the streets of New York as a humiliation ritual, which is a great way of putting it, to let everybody know that this too can be you if you don't heed the warning.
You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
And this is how it's going to be for the next three years.
Now, real quickly, you understand sort of the geopolitics of all this in your many committees in the House.
Some of them encompass these global affairs, but Venezuela wasn't really a true state.
It was simply a proxy actor for Russia and Iran and China in order to wage and Cuba in order to wage biological warfare and chemical warfare on America.
This was a state actor that was actively attacking our nation.
The biological warfare is obviously facilitating the criminal invasion of this country in hand and in league with Democrats.
And then the chemical warfare is fentanyl and all of the drugs, which of course need to be sophisticatedly made in order to be as lethal as they are.
And so what does this say to China, to the Don Roe doctrine, I guess we're going to call it now, which is the mastery of our own hemisphere.
Can you sort of break that down for us, Congressman?
And China was fighting a proxy war through rogue nations like Venezuela to kill, to kill and harm Americans.
And they've been doing it for the last few years since President Biden was in charge.
And we sat by idly and did nothing about it.
And so, again, they were given a blank check to arbitrarily murder and kill innocent Americans.
And this has been an issue that popped up during the Biden administration because there was no respect and make no mistake about it, that this was purposely done to harm and kill our young people.
Again, fentanyl will smuggle into this country and enough fentanyl will smuggle into this country to kill every single American five times.
And we had a president that did nothing about it.
And as I stated earlier, Maduro was given a chance to cut a deal.
He didn't want to cut a deal because he thought this was the same feckless leadership that we had during the Biden-Harris administration.
And then now he has found out, well, I made a critical error and a critical mistake.
And again, this puts the world on notice.
We are not playing around.
But I can't reiterate this to you enough.
This is not the beginning of a long, endless war.
Again, the 82nd airborne, first half.
I don't see them deploying en masse to Iran.
I don't see them deploying en masse to Venezuela.
We are going to take care of this and handle this from an economic standpoint.
We're going to use natural resources to fight these kinds of wars.
This is the way you do it.
You strike fast, you strike hard, you get in, you get out, and then you use other levers to continue to control these countries and fight these wars, not the levers of occupation.
This is brilliant.
This is the way forward for all presidents in the future.
And I hope JD Vance will be next to continue this kind of strong leadership.
So real quickly, I'm just going to bring up one of your absolute besties who lost her vice presidential candidate just earlier today.
Tim Wall's dropping out.
Kamala Harris sounding off on Nicholas Maduro defending Maduro, which is make your enemies defend the indefensible, right?
So Kamala Harris is sitting there saying like, how dare, how dare we go take out Maduro when her and Biden had a $25 million warrant out for the arrest of Nicholas Maduro, which again, this is it's nonsensical.
She's saying here that President Trump is putting troops at risk, spending billions and destabilizing the region.
Well, first of all, you're putting troops at risk.
This is actually what we signed up for, to put us at risk to ensure that we carry out the needs, wants, and desires of this great nation.
This is the definition of America first.
This is kind of the whole point of it.
And again, this is not a long, endless quagmire.
We're not talking about World War III.
We weren't talking about World War III like they were talking about after the Iran strike.
Here we are again, round two of this.
I can't wait to see what the third act of this play is going to be.
I'm here for it at the end of the day.
But to watch them have this bad case of Trump derangement syndrome instead of looking at them, tipping the cap and saying this, for four years, we had $25 million bounty on this guy, and we were able to get him.
And you mean to tell me in a couple of hours, this guy is sitting on a USS Iwo Jima flying over the Statue of Liberty and getting perfect walk through the streets of New York?
Hey, that's good work.
This is kind of the point.
This is President Trump doing what most presidents always talk about doing, but they never execute it.
They're all bluster.
It's all about getting clicks.
It's all about being on the next show, but there's no actual action.
And that's why we weren't respected until President Trump came back in office again.
And again, keep in mind, where would we be right now with a Harris Walls administration?
None of this would happen.
Keep in mind, President Trump has saved us from a complete and utter disaster.
Where would we be right now?
You know where we would be?
You know what?
More young people would still be dying.
We would not be striking these narco-terror boats.
We would not be stopping fentanyl.
We would not be stopping China having a proxy war through Venezuela, continuing to harm and maim and kill our young, innocent people.
Let me tell you something.
Respect is back in this country because of the Trump administration.
Kudos to our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseff, and God bless the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
This is leadership at its best.
We've got to have more of it.
And I know this is just a prequel to what we're going to continue to see for the next three years.
But as long as Democrats continue to talk like this and not pay homage and give credit where credit is clearly due and to watch them defend dictators, this is how we're going to continue to win in the midterms too.
Let them keep talking.
I love, I love ex-posts like this that expose how they really feel about this great nation.
And this is, again, a derelictive duty of leadership of Tim Walz.
And this is exactly what President Trump spared us from.
And the fact that we have been able to end this guy's career without the help of legacy media is what this country is all about.
This is why Elon Musk bought Twitter.
This is why we have people like you that are fighting the good fight.
This is why we have investigative journalists that are willing to go to social media and expose all this crap, even though CNN, MS LSD, I mean, MSNBC, and the rest of them are never going to cover it.
We were still able to get justice by to get this guy to not run for re-election.
Now, obviously, I want to see the next step here because this goes deep and there's a reason why he's resigning.
This is just the very tip of the iceberg.
You are right.
Democrats don't ever resign, but where there is smoke, there is a fire alarm fire here.
This is just the beginning.
We need to continue to dig.
We need to get to the bottom of this.
I sit on the House Judiciary Committee.
We need to have hearings.
We need to have investigations.
This needs to go to the Senate.
This has got to be exposed.
And again, this is kind of the beginning of the cratering of the Democrat Party.
And this is the beginning of the America First Movement, putting enough pressure on them without the help of legacy media to get this done.
That guy could have been our vice president and said we have JD Vance.
I mean, this is a moment I've spent a break on the horn, just my phone melting down calling administration officials saying you have to understand.
I mean, we've missed a few moments here and there.
You have to understand the energy of this moment.
There's never been a greater crisis for the American people than watching a bunch of off-the-boat Somali pirates loot and steal our children's inheritance in our faces and laugh about it.
And then try and, and then that one Somali, you know, influencer claiming that she's going to kill Elon Musk.
I mean, this, it's, it's flagrant.
It's in our faces.
And it's disgusting to people.
There's like trending was like, I don't want to pay taxes anymore.
Because people are losing faith in the system.
You have to restore faith in the system through handcuffs, prosecutions, denaturalization, deportation.
Well, pending the findings of an investigation and given some of the proof that we have already seen that we already know exists, she needs to resign.
Period.
We have a full investigation and she does not need to be serving in the halls of Congress.
That's it.
How in God's name is she one of 435 people who clearly hate this country who behave this way, who again, you're right, robbing and stealing my children's inheritance, our hard-earned taxpaying dollars going to a Ponzi scheme, something like this, from her area, from her state, from a district.
It's federal money.
This is criminal and pending a full investigation because like I said, we actually have to go through our process.
This is a constitutional republic and people have to get their day in court.
She's to resign.
And my guess and my hope is that over time, we see the full truth and a full extent and how nefarious this really was to see how deep it runs.
And then we need heads to roll.
That's what has to happen.
And again, the wheels of justice turn slowly.
It's not going to happen as quickly as we would like.
But keep in mind, even though some people may be frustrated with how slow things work, we could have had Kamala Harris and Tim Walz running this country.
The alternative is exponentially worse than what we have right now.
If they were president and vice president, we wouldn't even be hearing about this scheme at all.
It would all be swept under the carpet.
So again, let's get the investigations done.
We must have hearings.
Let's get to the bottom of this.
Let's return the money back to the American taxpayer and let's make sure that those who are responsible for this pay for it.
And you shouldn't be enriching yourselves while you are serving this nation, while you are supposed to serve this nation.
To kind of give you an example, I've made a pledge that I will not trade a single stock while I am a United States congressman and the next United States senator from Texas.
This is not my job to get paid and get rich while I'm in this job.
I could do that when I'm done.
So, to watch somebody's net worth climb in that manner, basically, from what I can tell and from what it looks like, because of the American taxpayer and because of a potential policy scheme, that again, we need to have a full investigation that gets done.
But you are right to go from being worth negative $65,000 to $30 million, that should certainly raise eyebrows when you are quote unquote a public servant.
The one thing that I love about my family is, brother, you touched on it.
You know, my mom, my excuse, my mom, my mom served too while her family served, but my dad's retired colonel, sister, brother, all of us, me, we're all Westport graduates, 60 years worth of military service in my family, operative word service.
When you choose to serve this country, that doesn't mean you get rich while you do it.
That's actually wrong.
That's not how this works.
And by the way, it may not be illegal, but it most certainly is immoral.
So, instead of just turning a blind eye and watching people enrich themselves in this manner, we need to really clamp down on this.
And this is why people don't trust politicians.
This is why people don't trust what we're doing up in DC.
This is why people like me are running in the age as a young man to ensure that I serve this country.
And you know, someday I'll make more money later, but I cannot do it while I'm serving you and we, the people in this constitutional republic.
Again, full investigation needs to be done.
And those that break the law and those that break the trust of the American public, they must resign or they must see time.
This is a brand new asset class for us that is short form and very authentic and straight to camera and utilizes sort of the medium of short form storytelling.
And we explained like how strange it is that Ilhan Omar, not only is she worth now $30 million, but all of that money, there's no sense to it.
We went through her financial disclosures form.
Ilhan Omar is like getting paid by a winery that's out of business.
Here's the financial disclosure form, by the way.
It's not secret documents we have.
It's out of business.
$5 million from a winery that doesn't have a functional phone number.
Call it.
We did.
It doesn't have a functional phone number.
It's last social media post from 2022.
Ilhan Omar gets $5 million from an out-of-business winery.
What the hell is that?
Can somebody investigate that?
Another $30 million From a venture capital firm run by her shady ass husband with a bunch of other DNC apparatches and Obama people that wiped their website clean as soon as the Somali fraud hit.
That's a matter of fact.
Nobody can explain where the money comes from.
Where's all their investment money coming from?
What venture capital firm?
It went from zero dollars to millions and millions of dollars under management, like overnight in 2022 when a lot of the fraud was occurring.
This is just a matter of fact.
You know, if you look up their address, it's a WeWork location in DC.
You'd think if it was this really prominent, prestigious hedge fund that you'd have like a little building in Georgetown or something.
Nope.
We work.
It's not even an office.
It's like a rental desk.
Something shady is going on here, and there's a perfect person to talk about it.
Somebody who's been such a champion and a fighter for immigration, lawful immigration, and thoughtful immigration from countries that, well, will actually make America a better place and not a worse place.
is the incredible Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant deputy secretary, the Department of Homeland Security, joining us now.
What are you, what a what a what tidings of great joy you bring to our program that uh Tim Walz has now resigned in disgrace.
In part, I believe, to broken immigration policies and the federal government being incapable of truly understanding that when you bring in the third world to America, you become the third world.
That scandal really got out of control.
Something you've been worrying about for a long time.
But this is certainly good news for the American people, good news for his constituents.
This looks like generational fraud, rampant fraud.
But I will say, Benny, we have surged federal resources to Minneapolis.
We have over a thousand Homeland Security investigators on the ground as we speak, as well as hundreds of additional ICE agents, and more and more are coming.
So far, we've had a thousand arrests of criminal legal aliens just in the last few weeks alone.
But then this is a three-prong approach as well.
Our Homeland Security investigators are going door-to-door, following leads, going to local businesses, suspected fraud sites, whether it be daycares, healthcare centers, or other organizations that get taxpayer dollars.
And then, of course, we also have had an ongoing immigration fraud, a really wide-scale investigation, Benny, about 1,300 cases, 40% of which we've seen that there's been some sort of fraud going on.
But I also want to talk about what's happening to our law enforcement there on the ground.
We are seeing a widespread campaign, primarily by Hilton Hotels, to try and bar our law enforcement from being on the ground.
What's happening is we were seeing that our law enforcement officers, when they were using their government emails to try and get a government rate for their rooms, they were being turned away, told that they could not get a room at these Hilton hotels.
And then they started using their personal emails.
Benny, what they were doing and what Hilton Hotels has admitted to doing, and we will bring these receipts, is the hotels were Googling the names of the guests, finding out that they were involved with immigration enforcement work and saying that they couldn't stay there.
So we will have more coming on that, but that is a concerted effort in the Minneapolis area by Hilton Hotels, which is, of course, owned by J.B. Pritzker's family, to try and really thwart and stonewall our efforts to root out this fraud and root out these criminal legal aliens.
We're going to blow this up because that's in its own way impeding federal law enforcement and a massive national brand trying to make our country less safe.
Has Hilton, like, have you reached out to them for comment on that?
Has anybody made contact with them?
They're not letting your agents, they're not letting your agents book rooms.
This is a collective concerted effort, not just our law enforcement agents, but any government official affiliated with the Department of Homeland Security.
And our Homeland Security investigators, I mean, this is a wide-scale investigation.
So I can't get too far ahead of what exactly that they're finding as we're getting these warrants, criminal warrants, and starting to make these arrests on the ground.
But the American people should demand and they do demand that there's accountability and there's answers for what has happened on the ground there.
So we will deliver that.
And like I said, we are surging resources really unprecedented on the ground there in Minneapolis.
Another one dropped from CBS News last night about the kind of egregious wealth that was and has been created by the Somali community, sometimes $50 million with a fraud per individual, $50 million.
I mean, a lot of NFL quarterbacks don't get paid that.
Somali pirate fraudsters can come here and steal that from the American taxpayers and from our children and the future of our children in this nation.
It is something that has blackpilled a lot of the American public and they just want action on it.
DHS came out and said, you know, we're really considering denaturalization action against some of these major criminals.
Can you explain that?
I mean, I think that would really stick.
A lot of people would say, wow, the Trump administration is really serious if they start denaturalizing people in this country.
Yeah, under U.S. law, if you procure citizenship or a visa, a green card on fraudulent grounds, that is basis for denaturalization or removal of that visa or a green card.
So of course, President Trump has directed the Department of Homeland Security.
We're doing a massive scale audit on these countries of concern, Somalia being among them.
And so we're looking at how are these citizenship procured?
How are these visas procured?
We know that the past administration, basic mechanisms were not being done, basic checks were not being done.
And so we did see wide-scale fraud.
We did see wide-scale abuse of our illegal immigration system.
And so it's really incumbent upon us to go back, see how this was procured.
And if that means denaturalization, that's a route that's certainly on the table.
What is the, so the legal process there, I mean, a lot of people say that Ilhan Omar engaged in immigration fraud as well.
I mean, the White House is out posting articles about it.
What you're saying is that if somebody like Ilhan Omar was engaged in immigration fraud, that they could be, they could have their American citizenship stripped away and there's a legal process for that.
This is something that President Trump has been very focused on.
Secretary Noam has been incredibly focused on.
But I do, Benny, if you wouldn't mind, I want to back up to also what we're seeing on the ground as far as some of these suspected fraudsters.
What we're seeing, and I think that there has been some coverage of actually from you all, is that these people are really scrambling to cover up their tracks and trying to create the illusion that there are legitimate business operations and business practices going on when it's all a Fugazi.
So that's something that I think we're going to see more and more of.
And those viewers watching should be aware of.
But our Homeland Security investigators, our FBI and other law enforcement on the ground are also aware that this is going on and they're not going to be, you know, rules not going to be pulled over their eyes.
Are you going to be fooled by the child actors who now have Craiglist postings throughout Minneapolis where the daycares are asking for child actors to come in and try and be staged at the daycare?
I got the post up right here submitted by Liz Collin.
She's a reporter in Minneapolis for Alpha News.
Craigslist posts in search of child actors for daycare site to help hurry the state vetting process.
That's the first I'm seeing of that, Benny, and that is absolutely despicable.
But I do have to say the media's culpability in this.
I mean, we've seen the CNN reporting.
We've seen other mainstream news outlets where they wanted really to cover for these fraudsters and pretend don't believe your lying eyes that this has not been going on.
And it took an independent journalist and Nick Shirley to actually see and root out and unearth the fraud that was right before our very eyes.
I'm from Columbus, Ohio, and we are seeing a lot of this is copy-paste tactics, similar networks, quite frankly.
I mean, I think it does take that three-prong approach, though.
First of all, we have the immigration fraud nexus, of course, with the USCIS.
We have the immigration, actual illegal immigration and procurement of that.
That is with ERO, Homeland Security Investigations.
But we also have to look broadly at the federal government, SBA, the action that they're taking with HHS treasury.
Scott Besson has been fantastic on this issue, following the money, but it's also going to take a degree of local cooperation.
Of course, we're not going to get that out of Minneapolis.
We are hoping we're going to get that out of Columbus.
The Mayor Gunther has been anything but helpful there.
But it really is, it's all hands on deck with the Trump administration on this issue because we are seeing how rampant this fraud, it really is generational fraud that's being stolen from the American people.
And they demand and will get accountability and justice.
Are we going to see waves of third world migrants swamping the shores of America anytime soon?
I've seen, obviously, Stephen Miller has been really hitting hard on that over the Christmas break and asking the question like, has anybody ever made the case as to why bringing in people from cultures that are incompatible with America?
And what I mean by that is child brides, cousin marriages, Sharia law, you know, zero women's rights.
Like these are things, these are societies that you probably don't want to live in, right?
Like nobody would want Somalia to be a 51st state.
You wouldn't want the country to be attached to America, right?
You wouldn't want to visit that place.
So why would you be bringing people in from there?
Tricia, can you like give me any explanation?
Has anybody ever tried to explain why there are so many Somalis here in America?
Betty, I'm not the person to tell you, certainly, but I will say from a DHS perspective, of course, all the oxygen is so often around illegal immigration.
I mean, about 20 million people come to this country illegally in the last four years alone.
But what's talked about less, and I think that you and other independent journalists are doing a great job of speaking about, is what happened the last four years with our illegal immigration system.
And honestly, probably even longer than that.
It's programs like CHNV, temporary protected status, which was built to be temporary, and yet it's being exploited.
And people are coming in for 20, 25 years.
I mean, we saw about half a million people come in from Venezuela alone using temporary protected status.
We're talking about hundreds of members of Trende Aragua who came in using that.
People with vicious, horrendous rap sheets who came into our country legally using that program.
It's a huge battle ahead of us for the Trump administration that we really have to go back.
We have to look at who was legally led into this country, quote, unquote.
And I mean, it's like they rubber stamped people in.
They said it's like legalizing murder and saying you got rid of violent crime.
What's happened to our illegal immigration system is really despicable.
So in closing here, Tricia, could you please talk about Nicolas Maduro?
Because I don't think that people quite understand exactly how destabilizing Venezuela led to so much of the migrant crisis.
Obviously, people are familiar with Lake and Riley and that story, but there are millions of Venezuelans who have flooded not just America, but a lot of other countries in South America.
And just how devastating Maduro's reign was there and how the immigration crisis was caused by the communist dictatorship.
And that include hundreds of thousands, if not millions, coming to the U.S. illegally.
What Nicolas Maduro did to enrich himself, really creating a narco-terrorist state.
He is the world's largest dictator.
We've all experienced friends, family members, colleagues we know who have been impacted by the fentanyl crisis, by overdoses.
He is culpable in that crisis.
And I think that yesterday was one step closer to justice for the American people, for American families.
It's a day of hope for the Venezuelan people.
But it also, I mean, we've talked before about temporary protected status.
Those who came to the United States of America from Venezuela, they can leave the United States now, go home to the country that they love, and a day of hope that it's a much safer, more prosperous country for them.
CNN pushing Venezuela dictator Maduro's propaganda, calling house CNN, deported moms as toddlers return to Venezuela was separation by U.S. authorities.
It's a miracle.
It does seem to be a full, like, I guess the left doesn't quite know how to quite know how to go after this one.
So maybe you could write the headlines for them, Tricia, in closing here.
What are the major immigration headlines now that we're entering a new year for the Trump administration when it comes to mass deportations, when it comes to stabilizing of South America, and when it comes to the immigration outlook for our country?
If you include self-deportations, it's over 2 million.
And I do think that that is such a bright spot and something that we probably don't talk enough about is self-deportation, how it is a huge savings for the U.S. taxpayer.
It's about $17,000 to arrest and deport someone.
And that's very much on the conservative end.
So even with that offer, the CBP home app to give an individual in the country illegally $1,000 and a free flight home, that's still a massive, massive saving.
So we're hoping that, you know, it's a virtuous cycle.
The more people we arrest, the more people are going to self-deport because they see that's their only option.
And if you do two, if you ramp that up and you're talking about 20 million criminal aliens, boy, you just might, you just might really take a chunk out of that.
And so we wish you good luck in the new year, Tricia, and we'll be there to support you doing this God's work in our country.
Everybody follow Tricia McLaughlin.
And then also, let's get the official account up, please, ladies and gentlemen.

Okay whatever whatever guys, we're back, we're live, the show is live.
Columbia is very sick too, run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States, and he's not going to be doing it very long.
he has uh cocaine bills and cocaine taxes he's not going to be doing it very long you know why we're going to take a lot of people President Trump also sounding off on Cuba saying Cuba could be the next country also to fall.
But Monroe Doctrine says, pretty simply, that we are not going to allow colonization of the West.
You will not be allowed to colonize the Western hemisphere.
So it was originally about European powers coming here to continue to colonize in South America or in the Americas.
And the Monroe Document says, we will be the masters of this hemisphere.
We will not take kindly to, at that time, again, the old world, old European powers coming here and trying to stake claims and gobble up pieces of our hemisphere.
We'll fight you.
And we did.
We'll fight you and we'll actually seize your colonies.
We'll force you to protect your colonies.
This is a very aggressive approach.
I mean, America was only like 30 years old at this time.
It wasn't a particularly old country, like maybe like 50 years old.
It was just getting its feet underneath us.
But this doctrine was actually helped and enforced by some European powers that didn't want other European powers.
It was a really smart doctrine, and it is now being reformatted to the Donroe Doctrine.
And while it's not Europe that is colonizing the West any longer, it certainly is Russia, China, and emissaries of global Marxism that is trying to seize power and control in our hemisphere.
President Trump probably inspired by a conversation that he had with Elon Musk.
Just letting you guys know the boys are back in town.
Trump and Musk share a lovely dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
After public feud, Elon Musk has been loving this.
Elon Musk wants to be part.
He's a dominant personality.
He's an alpha personality.
He wants to be part of the alpha energy of the new American empire, something that you should clearly be in favor of if you are an American, because strength means good things for our children, our grandchildren, and for this hemisphere, quite frankly.
Can we hear the master, the master of the universe of President Trump?
Ladies and gentlemen, joining us right now is somebody who understands the Maduro regime about as well as anyone.
Emmanuel Rincon, who fled Venezuela, is the founder of the Regional Renaissance consulting firm, and he's worked very, very hard on making sure that Maduro has no future.
And he must be happy as a clam today.
joining us for the first time, Emmanuel Rukon.
Emmanuel, welcome to the program.
This must have some major significance to you.
Tell me about what was life like under Nicolas Maduro?
Maybe you could speak to some of the leftists who I think get all their news from teenagers on TikTok who are crying about Nicolas Maduro being arrested, saying that this is an attack on Venezuela.
Kamala Harris, included in all that, she, of course, ran for president as a Democrat, criticizing President Trump for arresting Nicolas Maduro.
Look, Benny, 90% of the people of Venezuela wanted Maduro out.
And actually, we vote for a regime change in Venezuela that didn't happen because they began to kill people that were trying to manifest that we really wanted a change.
So they've been killing people by thousands for the last 20 years.
They've been sending drugs to the United States.
They've been sending criminals.
They have been doing all this stuff in all the region.
So I mean, he has been the worst criminal that maybe this continent has had in the last 20 years.
And we are really, really, very happy that this nightmare is beginning to their end.
Look, Benny, this is something that we have to take care in the USA.
I mean, you mostly are not going to find most conservative people than the Cubans and the Venezuelans here in the U.S.
The Venezuelan population, the Venezuelan Americans voted for President Trump, like 90% of the Venezuelan Americans voted for President Trump.
It's almost the same with the Cubans.
So the Hispanic population are the most pro-conservatives, pro-Americans that you ever find.
And we have to take care to, I mean, we don't want socialists in the USA.
We lived through this and we were running through this.
And I mean, those people don't really understand what it's to live in a socialist country.
And I don't understand why if they want a socialist country, they don't move to Cuba or to Venezuela to really find out what it's to live in like that in poverty, without being able to buy food, and with the government to tell you how can you, what can you eat, what can you say, and how do you need to live your life?
Yeah, I mean, I guess there are like socialist countries in the world.
Why not just move to those countries if you love it so much?
Zorhan Mandami, he's the flavor of the week.
He's a socialist now in charge of the center of capital in the world, which is very strange, in New York City, who's very upset when Nicolas Maduro was being frog marched through the city.
It happened again this morning.
A humiliation ritual for sure.
Something that's got to actually make you pretty happy.
So, yeah, like, just real quickly here, what's next for Venezuela then?
Like, you know, what is the road back to being a functional democracy and a functional first world country?
Venezuela was the richest and most profitable country in all of South America not too long ago, just a few decades ago, before communists took it over and ruined everything.
Look, I mean, the Venezuelan people is a little bit concerned because as I was saying, the Regime is still in charge, but we got Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, that we believe that is the best Secretary of State that the U.S. have in the last century.
He's great, and he's going to take care of everything with the Venezuelan people.
Actually, President Trump said yesterday that they are running Venezuela.
So I think that we are in good hands.
And I think that once everything is settled, we're going to have our leaders back in Venezuela.
And we are going to be the best ally that the U.S. has ever had.
Would that mean just like economic cooperation, military cooperation?
Obviously, these are like really, this is critically important because Venezuela is right there in the Caribbean, not too far from off the coast of America.
It's really bad to have China, Iran, Russia, Hezbollah being able to have operations inside of that country.
Boy, I got to tell you, conversations like this all about South America make me hungry.
When we have Fajita Night at the Johnson household is masa chips that we eat.
We do eat fajitas quite a bit.
Masa chips are the chip of the Johnson household because, well, it is an actual healthy chip for you made with three all-natural ingredients, just corn and salt and beef tallow.
And that's it.
It means that it's better for you.
It means it doesn't fill you up with a bunch of chemical bloat.
It means it's tasty and delicious.
It's crisp and it avoids all the bad stuff while supporting a company that wants to make America healthy again.
My personal favorite is their spicy chip.
They also have a churro chip that is delicious as well for dessert.
Masa chips, ladies and gentlemen, the only chips allowed inside of the Johnson household.
My wife is extremely picky with what our children are eating, and this is something you can find on our table virtually every single dinner.
If you want to give masa a try, go to masachips.com slash Benny and use the code Benny for 25% off your order.
That's masachips.com slash Benny.
Code Benny for 25% off your first order.
And if you don't want to order online, go pick up a bag at Sprouts Market.
You can find them nationwide.
Okay, it is a wonderful thing to see.
The team back together again.
Trump and Musk, all of the good vibes.
Nicholas Maduro in jail.
Tim Walz resigning.
Massive, massive wins for the administration throughout the year of 2025.
And that's something that I do want to chat about here.
And I want you guys to, or maybe I can find it.
Just something, we pulled some data.
I wanted to talk about it for the, you know, the top line of where the country's headed and why we are going to swing and fight so freaking hard for the future of this nation, because I believe that we are at the precipice right now of something pretty remarkable happening.
I got it, Klein.
Don't you worry, buddy.
I got it.
I got it, friend.
There you go, friend.
We pulled some data.
I want to tell you, you know, obviously we hopped on sort of the bandwagon at the top of the show about like doomerism from 2025.
There were a lot of people who wanted 2025 to end, and you're probably one of them.
It was a tough year.
I want to talk you through at the end of this show, which we always try and share positive news at the end of the show.
And we are successful in that because we have our verse of the day.
But I wanted to share with you some of the positive energy that we have going into 2026 so that you're locked in for what we are fighting for.
Here is where we're headed.
Okay, let's start.
Faith is surging among young people.
Right now, young people for the first time in history are going to church and have higher belief in gods than their parents' generation.
That's never happened in modernity.
Hasn't happened.
It's truly historic.
Murders in America are at record lows because we've been locking up criminals and throwing them in prison for good.
We've been arresting criminals, drug dealers, getting the filth off our streets.
Thank you, Dan Bongino, who also is done at the FBI as of yesterday.
Dan Bongino signing off yesterday from what I believe to be an excellent tenure at the FBI.
Good and bad and ugly, but nonetheless, an impossible job done as skillfully as possible by Dan.
And we're proud of Dan.
Talk about a man who actually sacrificed for his nation.
Life expectancy in America is at an all-time high.
Suicide rates are plummeting.
Overdose rates are plummeting.
Give me that data.
Give me the data.
Jack, I know you got it.
Life expectancy at an all-time high.
Families are growing.
American child populations are up.
Native-born American populations are skyrocketing.
Foreign-born populations are collapsing.
Native-born jobs are skyrocketing.
100% of the jobs last year went to native-born Americans, while foreign-born workers lost 3 million jobs in this country.
3 million jobs.
Native-born jobs up 2.7 million.
All job growth going to actual Americans.
Historic manufacturing resurgence in our country happening in the United States of America.
True, truly onshoring of the American dream back into our country.
The restarting of manufacturing, the renaissance of our economy where we build things again.
This is the year of the builder.
Historic restoring of American jobs and reshoring of American jobs from overseas.
Inflation collapsing.
GDP is skyrocketing.
Very healthy indicators for the economy.
The border is closed.
There were 2.5 million total deportations.
Some of those were self-deportations.
Some of those were forcible deportations.
Do it yourself.
It'll be easier.
You'll make more money.
And there's been a resurgence in American identity and optimism, primarily among young people.
Primarily among young people.
Pop it up.
There you go.
Look at this.
We've decided not to kill ourselves anymore.
Isn't that nice?
I mean, this is partially closing the border and limiting the drug supply, but it's also, I believe, people finding hope.
You just decide you're not going to commit suicide.
You decide you're not going to OD.
Look at these OD rates.
They're collapsing.
The murder rates look exactly the same.
You've been on an absolute upward trajectory for your entire life.
A parabolic upward trajectory.
And it's now collapsing.
Why?
Why do people decide to not commit suicide?
Why do people decide to live longer?
Why do people decide to get healthier?
Because they actually believe that there'll be an America left for them.
They believe in something.
They believe that the country is going to provide them some opportunity.
They're not distraught.
They're not hopeless any longer.
They're not addicted to pills or alcohol.
They're not slobs.
They're not obese.
They can take care of themselves.
They can stand upright and fight.
And they have something to fight for.
And that is spiritual.
That's something bigger than you or me.
That's something that is God's providence for our nation.
That's why I included this little piece of classic artwork here of the American Dream and Uncle Sam rolling up his sleeves.
Factories booming, trains running, tanks rolling, and the steamworks, the build.
This will be the year of the American Builder.
This is the year, 2026, of the dogged pursuit.
This is the year where the people who have been punched again and again and again in the face and refused to quit, where we finally break out of our captivity, where we finally punch back.
The people who said, you won't stop me, this is the year of the breakthrough.
