Eric Swalwell EXPOSED in SHOCKING Career Ending Allegations As FBI Set To Release Chinese Spy Files
Eric Swalwell faces career-ending sexual harassment allegations involving NDAs while President Trump threatens Iran's infrastructure by April 7, 2026. Guests debate the morality of suppressing accusers versus protecting victims, contrasting Swalwell's stance with Kavanaugh hearings. Meanwhile, Marine veteran Mark Geist links the Iran rescue to divine timing and criticizes the Obama administration's Benghazi response, arguing decisive leadership saves lives. Technical difficulties interrupt interviews with Sheriff Chad Bianco and Congressman Greg Stubbe, yet the show concludes that domestic integrity outweighs foreign entanglements as Swalwell's gubernatorial prospects collapse amid these scandals. [Automatically generated summary]
Dana, well, you know, there have been very few presidential warnings in history.
As sobering as the first six words of that Truth Social Post, a whole civilization will die today.
And sobering is the point of this.
President Trump saying he is not pushing back this 8 p.m. deadline as he had pushed back deadlines before, that Iran has had more than enough time to come to their senses, to come to a deal, and open up the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking from the briefing room podium yesterday, the president said that he still has interest and optimism in coming to a diplomatic resolution.
It's something the president said that he will do if necessary, but doesn't want to, especially if the U.S. has to extend a hand in eventually helping Iran rebuild.
Now, the president yesterday dismissing any criticism that targeting civilian infrastructure would amount to a war crime.
He says, given these stakes at hand, that just would not apply.
Meanwhile, Iranian officials via state TV are urging young people, civilians in their country, to create these human chains and human shields around power plants.
But, you know, with that truth social post, I think there's a psychological element to that.
The president's trying to speak directly to those who are potentially in Iranian emerging leadership who he has called reasonable, telling them to take this moment, utilize it. and prove that to be the case of them being reasonable.
Thank you for bringing a little bit of levity to what will be a very interesting day.
This is Power Plant and Bridge Day.
President Trump this morning saying he's going to decimate the entire civilization of Iran.
I'll just say this as a Christian because we don't know what's going to happen, right?
We're not sure what's going to happen.
I just got to say this.
Blessed are the peacemakers.
I pray for peace here.
That's my prayer.
I said it publicly this morning, and I'll say it right now and again.
Like, I pray for peace.
We want, we wish to be an uplifting movement and a movement that obviously shows the potential of Western civilization and Christendom and the words of Christ.
And so let's go there right now this morning.
Matthew 5 9, start of the show.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God from Jesus Christ on the Sermon on the Mount.
This is what I pray happens.
Both JD Vance, And senior administration officials are saying that Iran is efforting a deal right now to be made with the United States of America.
And I pray that happens.
We don't know what's going to happen.
President Trump has promised today at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time that the entire nation will effectively be set back to the Stone Age.
That's every bridge gone, every power plant out.
I'm not here to debate that.
I'm really not because, well, quite frankly, it's not up for me to debate.
It's just not.
I'm not in the briefing room.
I'm not in, I don't have the security clearances.
I haven't been making these decisions.
It's not really my battle.
And let me just say this definitively, like from the perspective of this program, the longtime perspective of this program, I don't want these battles.
And that's not what today's show is about.
Today's show is about Eric Swalwell and about, you know, something that's wild here domestically that's spiraling completely out of control and may make for a Republican governorship in California.
So we're going to talk about that today in the show.
But I just want to get this off my chest.
Our battle is not Sunni and Shia.
It's not Israel or Qatar.
That's never been what I wanted America First to be about.
I mean, even like some of the stuff that's done in our own hemisphere, I kind of think it's almost more permissible to say like Venezuela is a couple miles away, Cuba is a couple miles away.
We should control our own hemisphere.
But even beyond that, like focusing inward on our borders, that's MAGA, that's America First.
The pothole on my street is more important than making a new pothole in the Middle East.
This has been the opinion of this show.
There are obviously a lot of traps that have been laid in the Middle East for every great civilization.
From Alexander to Napoleon, the Middle East is to the British Empire.
The Middle East becomes a trap for great empires.
The Greeks, I mean, the Romans, the crucifixion of Christ.
How many empires must fall in this sandpit, this oblivion?
I don't want that to be us.
I pray for peace.
And we have a voice and we have a show and we have like a miticum of influence.
And we're trying our level headed best to not, you know, light ourselves on fire, to not, you know, like veer wildly and fly off the cliff.
In either direction, but to stay steady on, try and keep a coalition together, pray that spells are broken, that coalition, like that, won us this unbelievable victory in 2020.
I mean, truly, like a God inspired victory, God saving President Trump's life in front of all of us, that that wins the day, that that is the energy that wins the day.
And a final note here.
No American election ever has been won based on foreign entanglements, ever.
Not even World War II.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was about to lose multiple elections during World War II.
Huey defeats Truman.
I mean, it's famous for a reason.
Truman was his vice president, FDR died.
What about World War II?
Didn't we like it so much?
Actually, no.
The American people didn't want to be in World War II.
That's a fact, that's a matter of historic fact.
We didn't want to be in World War I. Civil War, also something that could have been settled through peaceful means.
I think that, like, it's hard to justify really any war in American history, like, except for the Revolutionary War to start our nation.
I think you could make, like, a sound and thoughtful argument for blessed are the peacemakers in almost every conflict.
But wars have been the undoing.
Of American administrations, whether it's Woodrow Wilson, FDR, all the administrations that fomented the Vietnam War, which led to just the abyss, George W. Bush, these entanglements, the Korean War, which was garbage as well.
These entanglements, like, you know, are the undoing of great civilizations and great empires.
Ask the British, ask the Romans, ask the Greeks.
You can't even ask the Romans anymore.
They don't exist.
At least not.
In the sense of like Rome, Roman Empire, it's gone.
And so, like, I just, just a reason why I'm praying for peace is that the wars can be the undoing of a good administration.
The wars virtually always are the undoing of an administration.
Reagan won in landslides based on peace and bringing peace.
Peace wins, war loses.
And so we pray for peace.
Ultimately, what peace signals is that we care about the people here more than the people over there.
We care about the flourishing of the people here rather than the killing of the people over there.
And I think that's a critical and important message to send.
It is a moral message for any leader of any nation.
If we would have such a different country, if our leaders just cared about our country more over the course of my lifetime, and I'm pushing 40.
And we've, like, in the course of my lifetime, I don't know, when was the last president that, like, really, really put, like, the betterment of the American people absolutely first?
That's why I pray for the Trump administration.
Because this is the America First movement.
That is the goal of the America First movement.
Cheap gas, cheap groceries, affordable housing, Americans flourishing, heritage Americans having children, continuing our great culture, and A culture that is a culture of the zenith, pinnacle of Western civilization and Christendom and what it can build.
You know, it's always the guys that you most expect, actually guys who crap themselves on live TV.
Eric Swalwell is running for governor of California.
He's odds on to be the Democrat nominee.
Now, our friends, Sheriff Bianco and Steve Hilton, Are both in the lead, actually, technically.
And Steve Hilton just got the Trump endorsement yesterday.
But I'm telling you, this is going to cook.
Eric Swalwell, live by the sword, die by the sword.
Eric Swalwell will soon face a slew of sexual harassment allegations from credible women that worked for him, according to the leader of a left wing advocacy group, Gen Z for Change, who says that she has been personally working with the women to expose a pattern of manipulation and abuse of power.
The group's executive director, by the way, I'm just like, I'll just say it right here.
This is why Charlie Kirk.
Always had body men with him.
So that nobody could ever make up these kind of allegations about it.
There were always witnesses everywhere.
Just be smart.
Every single time we have somebody on our program who is really bred in, like Tim Burchett, this is literally how they get you.
Tony Gonzalez, we had Brandon Herrera on.
Tony Gonzalez, such a scumbag in Congress.
He has allegations like this with the text messages to back it up.
Anthony Weiner, if you want to rewind the clock back a decade.
Dude, since the dawn of time, since Samson and Delilah, the downfall of all rulers and leaders, since David.
Hunt posted up a follow up video titled Why I Came Forward About Eric Swalwell, personally working with the women who want to come forward with their stories and be aware of a much larger group.
Oh, no.
Eric Swalwell is not available for comment.
This is it, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the career ender for Swalwell.
Amazing how sleeping with the Chinese spy was not the career ender, Democrat Party.
That's just assumed.
That's how you get that's how you fund your campaign.
These campaigns are expensive.
Of course, we need Chinese yen.
Of course, we need the Chinese to fund it.
Some of the commentary here from Anna Polina Luna.
If this is true, it's horrifying.
He should be added to the freaks and weirdos currently in Congress.
Can you stop molesting your staff?
It's unacceptable, illegal, and gross.
Here is the commentary.
ALX, should we have a listen here to what these allegations are?
And then in a moment, yeah, in just one minute, we'll have one of the opponents of Eric Swalwell joining the program live, the great sheriff, the great sheriff Chad Bianco, who will detail all of this.
Questions about why I decided to make public comments about allegations of sexual harassment against Eric Swalwell before a major news outlet published the story.
So let me be as clear and transparent about that as I safely can be.
I am personally working with a group of women who want to come forward and share their stories.
I am also aware of a much larger group that is also in this process that I am not personally working with.
We have secured pro bono legal representation for them, and they are in the process of sharing their information with major outlets.
while ensuring that their legal and physical safety is protected.
That process takes time, but the number of credible women who have come forward since I posted my first video is really shocking, and all of them moving forward together has greatly expedited the timeline of this whole process.
I got deeply involved because, like I said in my first video, I had heard these rumors for years, going back to the time when I was working on The Hill, but the first person who approached me with their story was a close personal friend of mine.
Then, once I started digging into it, and I found that there were a number of other women whose stories matched the same pattern of manipulation and abuse of power I knew that I couldn't stay silent because these women needed to know that if they came forward, there was a group of people that would have their back.
I understand that people want as much information as possible about these women, their stories, their identities, and the proof to back this all up.
Ladies and gentlemen, some of those who are in the business of corroborating and putting these allegations together are losing it online.
Here we go.
Yeah, I'm going to be so real with you.
Swalwell is a rap.
These are from Democrat activists, by the way.
This is not from the right, who've also been calling for the destruction of Eric Swallow's career, but not like this.
I can't believe it.
This is from the far left.
Okay, here we go.
Listen to this.
I've seen what I need to see.
He isn't going to sue anybody over talking about this because Discovery would kick his ass.
Why this man ran for governor is beyond me.
And now look at these latest polls.
You have Eric Swallow's chances collapsing through the center of the earth.
Whoa.
Eric Swallow's chance to become the next governor has now collapsed as Democrat activists, a shocking number of women, are about to accuse him of harassment and come forward and talk about what a monster he is.
Again, it's always the people that you most expect.
Something that I found particularly rich in all of this.
Is how Eric Swalwell was one of these guys who constantly was actually, it's the Mays account I was looking for, constantly out talking about how bad Donald Trump is, right?
Bring in all the victims, allow them to be heard, allow them to be questioned.
That will clear his name if he's indeed innocent.
And if he's not, for the sake of the credibility of the court, I hope that the senators would vote against him.
It's very easy to isolate one incident and, you know, shine inaccuracies or inconsistencies on that case.
But the more and more cases that are separate and independent that look the same, pretty soon a prosecutor starts to say to a jury, and this is not a jury, but it's allegations that the arrows are pointing in the same direction.
And what are the chances that three or four women independently who never met each other would have similar experiences with one person?
It's remarkable how it's like a constant biblical truth in all of this that the weapons that we form will be used against us.
Isn't that amazing?
Ladies and gentlemen, a man who is used to taking weapons off the street, a man who has done a remarkable job as one of the very few sheriffs to stand up against Gavin Newsom and to stand up against.
The eternal corruption of the state of California.
A man who we consider a friend, a man who walked some of the most refuse, homeless encampments with us while we were in Los Angeles and exposed so much of the fraud.
Well, in case you're wondering, if we do the show live, we do do the show live.
We have more on Eric Swalwell.
Hopefully, we can get the sheriff set again.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, I trust you guys totally.
Yeah, I trust you guys.
Sorry about that, ladies and gentlemen.
As we sort out our guest, as we sort out getting the sheriff back and locked in, get yourself locked in.
American financing can ensure that you have a locked in American future.
It is immoral and illegal.
It should be, at the very least, to charge 20 and 30% interest rates.
This is something that major credit card companies often do, banks often do.
And this is something that.
Corrupts, frankly, your future.
It's intended to keep you in slavery forever.
There's reasons why there are usury laws all throughout the world.
And well, this is one of them.
I think it should be illegal in this country.
I'll fight in order to make it that way.
But the best I can possibly do is suggest American financing right now that can reconsolidate your debt below the Fed's funds rates, about the 5% rate, help you get and use the equity in your home in order to get out of debt and save you money.
American financing is America's home for home loans.
888 528 1219.
That's 888 528 1219 American Financing.net slash Benny.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's go ahead and check back in on this Eric Swalwall story and read through a little bit more of the allegations.
And hopefully we can get the sheriff back on.
We apologize to the sheriff.
And unfortunately, we are down a member of our team this morning as Killer Klein had a.
So, please bear with us.
Killer Klein had a personal emergency this morning and is not in studio with us.
So, some of these issues will have to be stress tested with our team outside of the studio.
So, it makes it slightly more difficult.
So, here we go.
Let's try it again.
Guys, I didn't hear.
He sounded great to me.
So, you guys just go ahead and test and see if we can get the sheriff back on.
I would love to be able to speak with him more about this.
So, here we go.
What do we know about the Eric Swalwell allegations and what is happening?
What is going to happen next?
Let's have a listen to the woman who is coordinating these allegations and how they are going to affect the Republicans in the governor's race and the Democrats in the governor's race.
Again, you don't have a deep Democrat bench.
It was already a very, very weak Democrat bench.
It was already disastrous for Libs keeping control of California.
I think this actually makes it so that the odds of Republicans becoming a Republican of becoming governor in the state of California increases dramatically because Katie Porter and Tom Sire are lunatics.
I mean, I don't know.
California on its current trajectory is already doomed, but Tom Sire and Katie Porter are.
Complete lunatics.
They're the only other two that are in the race for Democrats.
And we were already very bullish on what could happen in California.
Currently leading in the California governor's race has a known history of being predatory towards women.
And while it may be seen as politically expedient to sweep this under the rug, it is the wrong thing to do.
And we know it.
I worked on the Hill.
I know many women who still do.
And this message that I received yesterday is not unique.
I have received others, and there are many women who have reached out to other political commentators and to reporters with their stories.
This particular message follows the same pattern as the other allegations currently circulating.
You know Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign NDAs so they don't speak up, right?
And when I was 19, he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs, and I have so many other friends that have similar experiences with him.
Like I said, this message that I received is not an anomaly.
It's part of a pattern.
Other commentators have come forward, like this one, saying that no less than a dozen people have come forward to them alleging that Swalwell has had inappropriate relationships with young staffers for years.
I understand that because the Trump administration is currently trying to weaponize similar allegations against Swalwell, having this conversation or publicly acknowledging it may feel like aligning with Trump, but that is not the truth.
It is aligning with women.
Politically, if this is a weakness that Trump can exploit, then it's something that we do need to acknowledge.
And more important, morally, if we as a party are willing to bury these kinds of allegations, we are no better than those we point the finger at.
Lastly, I would not be surprised if we soon see many other folks come forward.
Conversations that I have had suggest that creators who have heard these stories and women who have experienced it are currently sitting on the sidelines because they're afraid of retaliation, of not being able to work in this space anymore if they speak up.
But I think as more people come forward, we will hear other voices coming in and echoing these allegations.
So we need to deal with this and address this now.
Eric Swalwell obviously has a number of major problems with his past aliences, Chinese spy, and so on.
Now it seems like the California governor's race will be blown completely and totally wide open.
Will Iran be blown completely and totally wide open?
We'll see President Trump again saying this morning on Truth Social that the whole civilization of Iran will potentially be cratered into the center of the earth.
So let's go ahead and read this.
It is the biggest news in the world right now.
And we hope, as we have stated at the top of the show, that it doesn't happen, quite frankly.
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.
I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.
However, now we have a complete and total regime change where different, smarter, less radicalized minds prevail.
Maybe something revolutionary and wonderful can happen.
Who knows?
We will find out tonight.
One of the most important moments in a long and complex history of the world.
47 years of extortion, corruption, death will finally come to an end.
God bless the great people of Iran, says President Trump.
Let's, yeah, let's.
Team, let's go ahead and get an opportunity to, or like, let's just get up a clip, please.
Yeah.
President Trump talking about what may potentially happen tonight with Power Plant and Bridge Day from yesterday at the White House.
And then give us a chance to reconnect with my production team here so that we can deliver a clean show.
As you probably didn't talk about the first one for.
An hour, and then somebody, something, something, which will hopefully find that leaker.
We're looking to find that leaker.
And talk about there's somebody missing.
They basically said that we have one, and there's somebody missing.
There's somebody missing until there's somebody missing.
So whoever knows will be able to find that.
Because we're going to go to the media company.
They released it, and when you say National Security, you're going to go to jail.
We know who we're talking about.
Because some things you can't do.
Because when they did that, all of a sudden, the entire country of Iran knew that there was a pilot that was somewhere on their land that was fighting for his life.
And it also made it much more difficult for the pilots and for the people going in to search for him.
All of a sudden, they know that there's somebody out there.
They see all these planes coming in.
It became a much more difficult operation.
Because a leaker leaked that we have one, we've rescued one, but there's another one out there that we're trying to get.
So actually, the country, Iran, put out a major notice, you all saw it, offering a very big award for anybody that captures the pilot.
So, in addition to a hostile, very talented, very good, very evil military, we had millions of people trying to get an award.
So, when you add that to it, but we have to find that leaker because that's a sick person.
Probably didn't realize the extent of how bad it was.
I can't imagine that the person did.
We're going to find out.
It's national security.
And the person that did the story will go to jail if he doesn't say.
And that doesn't last long.
And I think everybody would understand that they put this mission at great risk.
They put that man at great risk, and they put the hundreds of people that went in looking for him because everyone now knows that we're going in.
All you ever need in this business is one nice long Trump clip to fix everything.
And that's what we needed after all of this.
President Trump commenting yesterday about the incredible mission to save our airman who's stranded in the hills in Iran.
Somebody who we were excited to talk to about this is Congressman Greg Stubbe.
And, well, maybe we can get the sheriff back.
We did fix our problem.
As we have said, ladies and gentlemen, we had a crew member who had a personal emergency this morning.
We wanted to hit our live time.
And so now we are set, locked, ready, and back in action with Greg Stubbe, Congressman Greg Stubbe here from Florida, also a veteran who's joining us live right now.
Congressman, welcome back to the show.
Thank you very much for being with us.
Tell me about Bridge Day and Power Plant Day and what Americans can expect.
Well, I think for context, we just need to take a step back and kind of explain how evil the Iranian regime is.
So I served in Iraq 06 07 with the 25th Infantry Division, and Soleimani and the Iranians were responsible for all the IEDs that killed over 600 of our service members during that period of time.
They also funded Hezbollah, which are shooting rockets and killing innocent civilians as we speak.
Last couple of days, they killed four people in the northern part of Israel.
They fund Hamas and the huge tragedy of October 7th, where they went in and murdered children and babies and innocent civilians and murdered people at a party and all these things, these terrible atrocities.
So you hear the left say, oh, Trump can't blow up bridges, those are civilian infrastructure.
He can't blow up, you know.
Power plants.
Well, if they're supporting the terrorist regime, if the terrorist regime is using these bridges to move around, if they're using these power plants to fund terrorism and fund the different things that they're using to launch rockets at innocent people, then absolutely it is a legitimate military target.
Being somebody who served in the military, who was a JAG, who actually made ROE decisions for commanders, who gave advice as to what we could target and what we could not target, it's interesting to hear from the left that suddenly certain targets are off the table because.
They think it's civilian in nature when these very people are murdering civilians, have murdered civilians for decades, going back like 47 years.
Even the time that I served in Iraq, they were murdering service members who were just driving down the road trying to protect people in Iraq.
So it's kind of interesting to hear this.
Oh, this is illegal and unlawful.
And so what you're seeing is I think the president, obviously being very frustrated that they're not willing to open the Strait of Hormuz, is going to target things that are going to be devastating.
To those military operations that are reliant upon certain bridges to transport, like drones and weapons and ballistic missiles that they're moving around to target energy infrastructure that the Iranian IRGC is using to then target and fund their military operations.
So it's kind of interesting to see all this argument on the left that what Trump may or may not do, he's just saying what he wants to do, is suddenly a legal violation of the law of war.
But what I will tell you is these people are terrorists.
The Iranian regime constantly lies.
They've lied for decades.
They've lied about their nuclear capabilities and their nuclear development.
They've lied about their ballistic missile capabilities, even as recent as the last six months or so, talking to Secretary Rubio about where their ballistic missiles could and could not go.
And then they launched one at one of our bases that were like thousands of miles away.
And suddenly, oh, well, the Iranians actually have the capability to hit the continental Europe and some of our bases in Germany.
So you can't believe anything the Iranians are going to say.
I think the president and Marco and our administration have worked tirelessly to try to come up with some type of diplomatic solution to this.
But you, one, can't trust them, and two, they won't agree to give up their nuclear ambitions.
They won't agree to give up their ICBM ambitions.
They won't agree to give up their intercontinental ballistic missiles.
So you have a problem when they have the ability to launch attacks against our service members and launch attacks against our allies in the region.
So I don't foresee there being a deal in the next 24 hours.
Yeah, there will be movies made about what happened to rescue that airman, that pilot, the backseater.
I mean, our military capabilities have always been impressive, but to be able to go that deep into enemy territory, To use the type of assets.
I mean, you had the CIA working with our defense industry, working with the Air Force, working with our special forces, working with CENTCOM, SOCOM to go in, identify where he was located, the technological capabilities of that alone, to know where he was, to be able to get a mission to go in and all of the different assets from both a, hey, he's over here,
trying to deceptively convince the Iranians that he was at a different location to going in and actually.
Actually, doing the operation.
And oh, by the way, yeah, we lost some military equipment, but not a single casualty on our side.
Hundreds of soldiers that went in to get this guy.
One, it shows that we will never leave a fallen comrade ever, which we always pushed that.
When I was in the infantry, when I was in the army, that was always something you knew.
If you ever got captured or if something ever happened, you knew that your brothers and sisters in arms were going to come and get you.
So again, we solidified that to every single person that serves in our military that we will not leave you behind, even if it's.
Hundreds of miles in enemy territory, we will use every resource of our military to come and get you.
And then the technical, strategic operation of actually being able to go in and accomplish that mission without a single casualty is there will be movies written and a scene about this in a couple of years, I'm sure, about how awesome this was that we were able to go in and get him out.
But what is interesting to me is the level of hypocrisy from Democrats.
Here's a Democrat that rallied to release the Epstein files, voted to release the Epstein files.
And I thought what was interesting recently, his lawyers sent a letter to Kash Patel.
I saw it on X, so I'm sure your folks can pull it up.
So his lawyers sent a letter.
To Kash Patel, refusing to be transparent about the investigation as it related to Fang Fang and a Chinese spy, because there was talk from AG Bondi and from Kash Patel.
I guess there was some informant from the FBI that said that they were going to release these files.
And so, a letter from his lawyers to the FBI director saying, You absolutely cannot release these files.
It's a violation of his rights, it's a violation of federal law.
If you read the letter, they make all these legal assertions that if you release these files and be transparent with the American people, we're going to sue you.
So, he wants transparency for the Epstein files, but he surely doesn't want transparency as it relates to a case that directly involved him and the information that that would be transparent to the American people.
So, it's kind of interesting when you read the letter from his lawyers to the FBI director that they're going to get sued if they release this information.
Really quickly here, you know, you've been one of these members of Congress who's constantly called for people to drop out if they've behaved criminally or immorally, including, but not limited to, members of the Florida delegation who embezzled FEMA funds, Ilhan Omar.
What say you about Eric Swalwall?
If it does turn out that he was preying on young staffers, and we know he has a predilection for this, this is what the Fang Fang Saga is all about.
Do you believe that if he's found to be preying on congressional staff, that he should drop out of Congress, that he should be potentially kicked out of Congress?
Uh, the Congressman, I've actually seen the Congressman on a plane headed back to his district, that's where he likes to live here in the beautiful uh, western side of Florida.
In God's country, truly, and getting out of the swamp.
This is where the congressman likes to see the swamp.
It's just one of those shows, ladies and gentlemen.
We can reconnect.
We're just going to do it live.
I'm just going to wait.
We're going to be patient.
We're going to let the production team reconnect with the sheriff.
We're not going to lose this one.
We got a live one on the line.
We're not going to lose it.
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll reconnect with the sheriff here in just one moment.
God bless all of you for sticking with us.

It tastes incredible, and every sip feels like fighting the communists.
I have some right now.
All right.
Let me know when the sheriff is back on.
If the sheriff is back on, we toss him over.
Otherwise, team, what are we looking at?
Yeah, okay.
So we got a phone call from the sheriff.
It looks like this is what happens sometimes when you're doing the hit from your phone and the phone call disconnects.
All right.
So, production team, just going to need direction here.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are really honored to have a guest on who is an absolute legend.
Mark Geist is a Marine veteran.
He's the survivor of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack.
He's somebody who can truly speak to what it's like to be left behind.
He is a retired U.S. Marine.
He co authored the 13 hours Benghazi attack timeline.
That was turned into an unbelievable movie and one of the best movies I think ever made.
Quite frankly, it'll make your blood boil.
He provides absolute clarity and insight into how things can go wrong when the leadership in Washington, D.C. is not decisive and is not supporting the troops.
And so it is a great honor to have Mark live on the show right now.
Mark, thank you so much for joining us.
We deeply appreciate your insight into what happened over the last 72 hours in Iran and how perilous this mission was.
We've spent the entire show sort of detailing the differences between Benghazi and this mission, but we weren't there and you were.
And so perhaps you could elucidate for our audience what are the differences between this Iran rescue and what you experienced in Benghazi?
The difference is that we had an administration that wasn't afraid to go in and send in whatever it took to make sure that we bring home our guys alive.
I think this was, Benghazi was more significant, I think, than what people realize is not only what happened there at Benghazi, but from the investigation that ensued.
Because that investigation from what happened in Benghazi is where they found out that she had the email server, the private email server that she was doing government business on.
And I think the two of those together are what really pushed the American people into coming out and voting for President Trump.
You know, and I think I maybe look at it different than what a lot of people would.
Is at that time when you're in the fight, you're not thinking about being left behind.
You're just thinking about taking care of business and making sure that the guys and gals to your left and right and those that you're protecting make it home safe.
And we are, you know, our team was willing to do whatever it took.
To make sure that they got home safe.
And that was our mission at that time.
If they weren't going to send stuff, then that would have been great.
But if they don't, then you know what?
We're going to fight till the last person and make sure that the people that we're protecting make it home to their families.
Like, can you contrast what you experienced, which is inaction at best, total and complete paralysis and inaction when America could have come in and truly, like, very aggressively supported you?
Can you contrast that with what you witnessed from the operation this weekend?
Well, you know, that's what's amazing about the operation that happened this weekend is, you know, To me, looking back into 1979, when we sent Delta Force or the beginnings of Delta Force into Iran to rescue the hostages that were taken, they flew deep into Iran.
Aircraft ended up getting damaged, so they couldn't complete their mission.
They had to pull back out.
Well, dusting off that plan and coinciding that with what happened to O'Grady, a pilot who got shot down in Bosnia in the 90s.
Those two things were put together.
The plans that rescued him and the plan that happened then, I think, were melded together and is what really put it all together.
Because, you know, we went in deep into territory.
We built an airport, basically.
We landed aircraft.
From there, we deployed special operations units to go in and where he was actually at, pull him out, get him back, and pull things out.
I mean, it was amazing that it happened and that it was so well.
And, I mean, hats off to the people that planned it, the people that executed it.
And it just shows you the capabilities of America with the right leadership, the American military person, people.
Do you believe, Mark, that I know this is a tough question, but do you believe that American lives would have been saved if President Trump had been present during Benghazi?
I mean, you've obviously seen an enormous amount of combat, risk your life for your country.
There's a tumultuous time out there.
As a seasoned veteran, as somebody who's put your life at risk, what is your message to the troops and to the regular Americans who's sort of watching from the sidelines here?
You know, trust your leadership, especially the leadership we have right now and the leadership that we have in the Department of War, because that's where it's going to happen.
We're going to take care of our people.
We've seen it time and again from this president, from this administration.
And know that you are fighting and protecting the greatest country in the world.
And you're just one apparatus of that, because what we have is warfare in a different way now is being orchestrated by this administration.
Whether it be through the tariffs and it be trade warfare, whether it be through what's going on in Iran, both the direct action but then the indirect action and what is happening.
The Straits of Hormuz and how Lloyds of London has always been the shipping insurance company.
Well, now that the Straits are backed up and Lloyds of London doesn't want to insure shipping going through there, President Trump has come out and said that he is open to doing that and we insure that,
which Lloyds of London has always ensured global maritime shipping, and that control could be taken from them and then put into the hands of the United States, just empowers us, broadens us into a greater country than what we are.
And then we also have to look back at what it's doing to China.
You have the Belt Road Initiative that runs right through Iran, that runs through the Caspian Sea.
All of this coincides, it's not just isolated to what's going on in Iran right now, and all these things that are Taking place have to be taken into consideration on what happens in Iran is going to affect what goes on in Africa, what goes on in China, how China responds, and how we can degrade China's influence in the world.
That God is real and he's still moving in the world, and that perhaps he has a sense of rhyme and humor and a mathematical equation that sort of unites everything, and that he's asking us to see these patterns and I hope that we pick up on them.
Uh, help us not deliver death and destruction unto this world, but help us deliver a more peaceful world and a world where.
Your life can be where your life and your creation can flourish.
That's why we partner with Preborn, ladies and gentlemen, on this program.
Preborn is just one of the most important companies, I think, out there.
It's not really a company, it's more like a movement a movement of morality, a movement of dignity, a movement of life.
And this incredible organization uses the miracle of ultrasound technology to show young people.
Expectant mothers who may be in dire situations, the heartbeat of their newborn baby, the life that is growing inside of them, delivering compassion and love, even starting inside of the womb.
And as the scriptures say, I knit you together inside of the womb.
Ladies and gentlemen, for just $28, you can provide one ultrasound to an expectant mother.
In April alone, potentially 11,000 babies could be saved through the preborn network clinic.
Can you help?
$140 sponsors five ultrasounds for mothers in crisis.
Every dollar helps save unborn babies.
Share the hope of the gospel.
To donate, dial pound 250.
Say the keyword baby.
That's pound 250.
Or say baby.

That's preborn.comslash Benny.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
It has been quite a show, and we apologize once again.
We are planning on announcing this at a different date, but we are moving studios.
We are building a brand new studio.
We're very, very excited about it.
And in that, what happened this morning is in that transition to a new studio, we're swapping out a bunch of equipment and we had a broken piece of equipment.
And so we're sorry for the, again, technical difficulty of the morning.
And we'll close it out here with a poll on California election results.
What does it look like?
Well, you can see that Eric Swalwell has just completely and totally collapsed in the election results.
Potentially election probability here in California.
