🚨HORROR: Somali Beheads English Man in Streets of the U.K. | There's Going To Be A Revolution...

Jonathan Bush and Pam Evitt critique Western immigration policies, citing a beheading in Belfast as proof of the "Great Replacement" and arguing that diversity weakens societies. They condemn open borders, linking high foreign-born populations to crime and cultural decay while demanding mass deportations and Nuremberg-style trials for politicians enabling these trends. Bush attacks Maine's socialist experiment and drug policies, whereas Evitt promises South Carolina tax elimination and judicial reform. Ultimately, the episode frames current societal fractures as inevitable consequences of failed multiculturalism and demands a radical return to strict sovereignty and traditional values.

Chaos at the Knicks Watch Party 00:03:08
unidentified
President Trump in attendance last night for game three of the NBA Finals, where he became the first sitting president to attend an NBA title game.
Yep.
After the game, 21 people were arrested outside of a watch party right near our studios.
lawrence jones
Nate Foy is live outside of Madison Square Garden with the DEETs.
He's got the best assignment yesterday.
Hey, Nate.
nate foy
Oh, I definitely had the best assignment, guys.
I was able to watch the game last night.
Didn't go the next way.
But as you mentioned, that watch party nearby at Bryant Park really just devolved into chaos at points with several brawls.
Some people even were attacking police officers.
We'll show you more of that in one moment.
But I want to begin with President Donald Trump's visit to Madison Square Garden.
During the national anthem, just before Game 3, he was shown on the Jumbotron saluting the American flag.
And New York Knicks fans gave him a less friendly reaction than he received the last time that he was at MSG for a UFC fight as the president elect.
Take a listen here.
So you can see Trump appeared to smirk. through the booze as he was shown with New York Knicks owner James Dolan who invited Trump and is a member of his Mar-a-Lago club.
Trump also sat with secretaries Sean Duffy and Doug Burgum, his granddaughter Kai Trump as well as Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff among others.
After the game Trump said he actually appreciated the reaction from Knicks fans.
donald j trump
Well the game was fantastic, well played by both teams.
We all had a lot of fun.
It was great to watch.
Very talented players.
What did you think of the reception you got from the Knicks fans tonight?
I thought it was great.
I mean, I thought it was amazing, actually.
Even when they had the camera on me, I thought it was very good.
It was certainly amazing.
It was, I think, mostly tears.
It was loud and it was very enthusiastic.
nate foy
Meanwhile, the nearby watch party at Bryant Park turned violent with several brawls, including against police.
The NYPD tells Fox of the 21 people arrested.
Eight were for allegedly assaulting police officers, criminal possession of weapons, or menacing.
Thirteen were arrested for disorderly conduct.
Meanwhile, security here at MSG was tight.
The NYPD used officers and drones along with the Secret Service, air marshals, and other federal law enforcement.
While on the court, Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs just proved to be a little bit too much last night.
Wemby led the way with 32 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.
And with that, the Knicks' 13 game playoff winning streak is over.
They'll try to get back on track during game four tomorrow night here at MSG.
And the watch party will actually move from Bryan Park here to MSG tomorrow night.
So we'll see how that goes.
Hopefully, better than last night.
benny johnson
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are back at it again with the white vans.
Live from Somalia: Demand Freedom 00:06:16
benny johnson
We are very upset this morning about what's going on, although.
Quite frankly, some of the most important lessons you'll ever learn are the toughest.
And a very tough lesson is being learned by Western societies this morning as there has been a beheading in the streets of the United Kingdom.
When was the last time someone was beheaded in the UK?
Robin Hood?
What's happening to our societies?
Everybody's asking that question.
We're going to cover it this morning.
And the reaction has been remarkable.
People taking their lives and freedom into their own hands to finally speak out against.
Third world migration.
This is going to be the unifying call of the entire West.
We are here to talk about it because nobody else will.
And we talk about difficult questions on this program, and we do so without fear or favor.
Today is Tuesday, June 9th, 2026.
African migrant beheads man, Englishman in the streets of Belfast.
Trump greeted by roaring crowd at NBA Finals game.
Great.
Scott Pressler, Jonathan Bush, who's running for office in Maine, and Pam Everett, who's running for office in South Carolina, joined the program.
Voter day in South Carolina and in Maine, respectively.
So we look forward to having both of those leading candidates on the program.

Upgrade your mornings.
I want to begin by talking about what is a government exactly in the West?
What are we doing here?
Well, most Western countries are set up as republics, meaning the consent of the governed gives power and can take away power from our rulers based on whether you are making decisions that are good for us or bad for our nation.
It ultimately means that we get what we want.
Over the long arc of history, the majority get what they desire and vote for.
It's a great system when it is instituted properly.
It is an atrocious system when the rulers and leaders just simply ignore the will of the people.
I ask you a tough question.
Has any politician, Republican, Democrat, Democrat Socialists of America, Libertarian, Tea Party, has any politician from any stripe anywhere ever asked you permission to bring Infinity third world migrants into your Western societies from cultures that are, without question, incompatible with the West.
Cultures that make your life worse.
And we know that because you don't want to live in Sudan.
You don't want to live in Somalia.
We'll explain why.
And if you do, then fine, go move there.
Like Somalis don't even want to live in Somalia.
No one ever asked.
Yet this has been the policy.
Of multiple political generations.
This happened in the 1960s when we started doing this to our land and to our people.
The promise of slaughtering our best young men in wars against communism or wars against fascism in Europe and in foreign soil is that we wouldn't have to fight here at home, that we would have peace here at home.
We'd have a global rules based order where we were in charge.
And where we could live peacefully in our time.
That was the lie.
Because as soon as those wars were over, within a decade, our political class moved to import our enemies here upon our soil.
Why did they make that choice?
GDP numbers?
The threat of being called racist?
A desire to control us because if things are too peaceful, then we can be rid of our politicians easily?
If we are fearful of our lives every day, we demand more government.
We demand the government to come protect us.
So why not bring all the murderers, rapists, child marrying inbreeders into our nation?
How could you say these evil things?
I'm using the United Nations' own numbers, man.
I'll show them to you.
Somalia is the world leader in cousin marriages and child brides and genital mutilation.
It's also one of the most violent places on earth, along with Sudan.
Why would any Western society, how could you ever explain to any Westerner whose grandfather fought in World War II, allegedly to give them a better life and a more peaceful country, why you would bring people from the rape, And murder capital of the world into their neighborhoods.
The Swedes that built Minneapolis, that founded Minnesota, has anybody taken the time to explain to them what 100,000 Somalis, how that would be good for the society that they built, that would somehow enrich the society?
Diversity as a Societal Weakness 00:05:48
benny johnson
They say diversity is our strength.
It's the opposite, in fact.
Diversity is our weakness.
Because if you have a bunch of people that are incompatible, With your laws, justice, tradition, language.
You can't speak to them on the street.
They live in clustered communities that do not assimilate, that take practices from their home nations or their religion and steal from us, steal from us the lives of our children, steal from our treasury, hundreds of millions of dollars.
In what universe is that a strength?
It's not a strength.
It's not a strength in your marriage.
Diversity isn't a strength in your marriage, speaking a different language than your wife.
Diversity isn't a strength in your business.
Working with a bunch of people in your business that don't speak English, that don't share your customs or traditions or work ethic, that doesn't work.
Diversity isn't your strength on your sports team.
Donald Trump was at the Knicks game last night.
No, no, no.
Cohesion and sense of purpose and actually homogeneity in your performance, values, and systems is your strength in any successful system and institution.
Somehow, our leaders have, without permission from us, decided that the leaders of ISIS should be living on public assistance.
Here, a story from the Telegraph in the United Kingdom.
The wife and children and family of Somalia's Islamic State leader, the ISIS leader, a mass murderer in Somalia, they all live in England in social housing.
The English are paying.
For the mass slaughter of Somalis and their own people.
This is what it looks like to replace a population.
This isn't some conspiracy theory.
The Great Replacement isn't a theory, it's a fact.
Look at this foreign born residents of the United Kingdom.
There's 64 million foreign born in the European Union.
That's 14% of the entire population of the European Union.
Born outside of the European Union, 47 million people were born outside of Europe.
That would generally mean North Africa or the Middle East.
These numbers are astonishing.
Luxembourg, 52% of the population of Luxembourg is foreign born.
Malta, 32%.
Cyprus, 28%.
Ireland, which we will be talking about in a moment, 23%.
Sweden, Germany, 20 and 21%.
Why do the leaders of European nations and our nation hate the native of European descent, of Christian descent populations of our lands, the people who founded and created our lands?
Why?
What is happening here?
It's malevolent, it's evil, and it always ends the same way.
Ladies and gentlemen, there was a Somali migrant.
Some people say he's from Sudan, some people say he's from Somalia.
I'll explain to you in one moment.
Why it doesn't matter.
A Somali migrant was arrested for trying to behead a British man face down in the streets of Northern Ireland yesterday.
When was the last time there was a beheading in Northern Ireland?
Probably in the William Wallace days.
I think that's probably the last beheading was a thousand years ago.
Why is this happening today?
It's happening today because you brought in.
People who have no right to be in Northern Ireland.
What I mean by that is that a Somali or a man from Sudan could not make it to Northern Ireland.
They couldn't build a boat and boat there.
They couldn't build a plane or fly there.
They don't have the resources to get there themselves honorably.
They couldn't work their way into Northern Irish society.
They have enough problems of their own.
There's no argument for this other than the replacement of the native populations of Ireland or the create street horrors that cull the population into begging for more government.
Somalia and Sudan are the most violent places on earth.
So, if you bring people in from those nations, what do you expect is going to happen?
It's not magical rocks, meaning that Italy isn't Italy because the rocks there are Italian.
If you moved every person from Italy or Japan or China into a different regional space, then that space would become China because it'd share a language, a culture, traditions, a sense of order, a sense of law, a cultural sense of belonging.
If you took every Italian and moved them to Florida, you took every Italian out of Italy and put them in Florida, you'd get.
Well, you'd get Miami Beach, right?
Uh, you'd get Italy here.
Florida doesn't have magic rocks.
Ethnic Targeting and Mass Killing 00:09:22
benny johnson
Florida is simply Florida because Floridians live here.
But if you replace this all, it becomes something totally different.
The food, the culture, the music, all of it would carry with the people.
The people are the culture.
So what, what, where are the politicians explaining why we need Sudanese culture in the West?
What is Sudanese culture?
Sudan is experiencing extremely high levels of violence due to an ongoing civil war.
Sudanese armed forces and rapid response.
This has caused many tens of thousands. of direct deaths, widespread atrocities, including ethnic targeting, mass killings, rape, looting, massive displacement, famine.
Oh, look at this.
Ethnic targeting and mass killing.
So you're bringing in people who are ethnically targeting people who don't look like them or aren't from the same tribe and are mass killing them through beheadings.
And now you're concerned that there are beheadings in your once peaceful nation, the nation that sacrificed its best sons and daughters on the beaches of multiple world wars.
I mean, D Day, Remembrance, June 6th was just like a couple days ago.
So, the promise of fighting those wars was that we wouldn't have to fight more wars.
Now, you're bringing beheadings, which are as bad, if not worse, atrocities of those wars to the streets, and you're doing it voluntarily and you're making them pay for it.
It's worse.
What they're doing is worse than the world wars.
The people, the politicians, in my lifetime, the politicians who engaged in, advocated, and facilitated open borders and NGOs that did the same thing need to be held.
In trials like The Hague, they need to be charged under the Geneva Convention for war crimes against humanity, against civilization itself.
We need a new Nuremberg trial for these people.
Every globalist, every person who engaged in this style of migration from Lake and Riley getting slaughtered in our streets, not too far from where I live, over the border in Georgia, to the untold hundreds of thousands who have been slaughtered in our country.
From criminal alien migration to what's happening in the UK every single week, there's a terrorist attack in the United Kingdom.
Since when?
The United Kingdom, when I was born, was 95% white and Christian.
They did it on purpose.
This is intentional.
They're using taxpayer funds to do it.
Why?
Charge them under the Geneva Convention in The Hague, Nuremberg trials.
They must go to prison.
They must be sentenced.
Life in prison or worse, you need to make an example.
Because of what's happening here is a crime.
They're committing a crime.
They're accessory to murder, is what this is, from a policy perspective.
When do we charge them?
Is the question.
There is no explanation for why you would bring someone in from Sudan.
You know what's going on in Sudan it's ethnic cleansing and mass murder.
Somalia experiences very high levels of violence driven by ongoing conflict and ISIS, the ISIS leaders that we pay for, by the way.
Because I'm just going to treat Western civilization.
I'm going to treat the Anglosphere.
I'm going to treat us all like the same, right?
Like this common culture, common language, common justice system of justice, a kindred blood, you might say.
So, wait a second.
You're paying for the leader of ISIS, you're paying for them in your nation.
Somalia hasn't been a reliable, safe nation since 1991 civil war.
That's when Ilhan Omar came over here.
The historic data is really hard to tell, but it's one of the six to seven most violent nations on earth.
There are tens of thousands of deaths every single year in Somalia due to ISIS connections.
What about the culture of Somalia?
Somalia has elevated levels of consiguity.
Consanguinity.
Sorry about that.
What does that mean?
Inbreeding.
That means clan cultural preferences for cousin marriages.
Oh, got it.
Cool.
The UN says that they have the highest coefficient in the world for first cousin marriages, right here.
Very, very high first cousin marriages and offsprings.
The inbreeding coefficient is extraordinarily high, might be one of the highest in the world.
So, when you bring people from that culture over here, you're saying you want that in America.
It's time for us to force our politicians to answer the question do you want inbreeding in America?
Do you want child marriages, genital mutilation?
Beheadings in America, mass fraud and piracy.
That's what you're telling us when you advocate for these policies.
It's a time, it's time for the West to wake up.
And I think that this is actually happening in the UK.
It's something that has bothered me for an extremely long period of time.
Why nobody feels the compunction to really speak out about this.
So, one of the reasons why I don't, I will never apologize for my support of President Trump because President Trump.
Is the only president in my lifetime to have done anything about this.
Rupert Lowe, who's the Restore Britain leader, saying Restore Britain government will end all immigration from Somalia, review all existing visas, and deport Somalis who do not belong in Britain.
What happened in Belfast last night, says Nigel Farage, most likely the new prime minister of England when they have another election.
The authorities must reveal the identity and status of the attacker immediately.
The public are entitled to know the truth.
Watch the video.
Face the brutal reality of mass third world migration.
It's ugly, filthy, devastating.
Don't look away.
The politicians and activists facilitating this are directly responsible for the rape, gaming, stabbings, and beheadings.
That's exactly right, and we must charge them.
We have to.
I really like this take.
Shoot, I seem to have lost it.
Get me Sydney Watson's take on this, ALX, please.
Sydney Watson's take from this morning is excellent.
Look at this mass deportations.
This is the image coming out of the UK.
That says you are led by a suicide cult that wants the death, the systematic death of your culture and people.
How did he arrive?
What's on his visa?
Is he working?
Is he on benefits?
Living in social housing?
Criminal record?
Who authorized this exactly?
Doing this in Parliament.
No, ALX is from this morning.
You can check the recording.
But there is a boiling anger now in the West.
So many people sounding off this.
Just a reminder that people that make videos like this in the UK, they can go to prison for this man stepped in to stop the beheading.
There are some reports that the man who is being beheaded has died.
I don't know if they're confirmed.
From Rupert Lowe Prime Minister, we've seen a video from Belfast full of details of the savages' nationality, immigration status, and religion must be made available to the public as a matter of urgency.
The British people need you to know the full truth.
This is not a strength.
I am tired of pretending that it is.
And this is the face.
What do you mean you're worried about savages beheading you?
What do you mean?
unidentified
Huh.
benny johnson
Isn't it worse to be called a naughty name?
Isn't that worse?
This is the hive mind, the groupthink, the brokenness of the fanatical left wing white woman who would much rather feel good about herself looking in the mirror.
That she's not part of the cruel right, then look out in the streets and see her countrymen being beheaded, raped, murdered, and know that she was advocating for all of it.
I watched the video.
This is the one.
I watched the video.
I have to say, these videos light a rage in me where I can't even describe.
Sidney Watson is Australian.
I'm so angry.
I'm so sad that white countries continue to put up with this.
Because of tolerance, because being called racist is more frightening than watching your countrymen get hacked to death, stabbed, raped, and mutilated.
I'd rather be called a racist all day long than stand back and watch my fellow people get their heads hacked off by a 50, 50 IQ foreigner from Africa.
I'm just done.
And, and I don't have time to get through it because we have a stacked show today, but it's just post after post after post after post of really popular YouTubers like this guy, really powerful people with millions of followers.
Voter Roll Fraud Allegations in UK 00:15:41
benny johnson
Taking their lives in their own hand, their freedom in their own hand, because again, they can be arrested for posts like this in the UK and saying, We've had enough.
There's going to be a massive riot in Belfast at 7 p.m.
And like this is a great example.
This guy has millions of followers.
For years, I've not been vocal enough in the UK about immigration and the fears of being arrested.
But now I've changed my mind.
Immigration, legal and illegal, is the number one threat to the United Kingdom.
What happened in Belfast yesterday, I'm happy to go to jail for speaking up about it.
This is what these people are.
We can, we can speak freely in this country.
Imagine what they're doing in the UK.
These, they're taking their lives in their own hands.
With over 2 million followers, a serious risk that I could be arrested for saying what I'm about to say.
I don't care.
Every single immigrant in the UK must be deported.
If they are not a net positive of the country, Ker Starmer must immediately release the nationalities of the terrorists who tried beheading a man.
Time and time again, almost every single week, a tragic terrorist attack is brushed under the rug because it's carried out by an immigrant.
Whether it's foolish or religious rights allowing Henry Nowak to bleed to death, uh, massacring young girls and being given free reign in prison to now do this tragedy in Belfast, if you don't speak English, you must go.
If you don't like our country, you must go.
If millions must go, the millions must go.
The only fix is mass deportations, and I don't care about the consequences of saying that.
Britain has never been more dangerous.
The real numbers of foreigners in this country are far beyond what they report.
If I'm not in prison, I'll be running the next general, uh, in the next general election, and it will be out in the forefront to save the United Kingdom.
May God save and make our nation great once again.
There is a revolution happening in the UK.
I worry that without a fix here, the revolution may be a civil war between Christians and Muslims on an island that's in the North Atlantic, like nearly in the Arctic Sea.
Parts of it touch the Arctic Sea.
How could you possibly, how could it have come to this?
The failure of our leadership to listen to the people.
Joining me now is a man who's.
A man who is constantly calling out the failures of our leadership and our leaders, somebody who's gut checked many of them through raw political power, his organization, early vote action.
Scott Pressler, just off a fresh round of wins, is truly a man who knows what we are talking about here.
How do we hold the powerful accountable?
Scott Pressler joins the show live right now.
Scott, I'm sorry.
I just got my blood boiling this morning, but I'm going to try and universalize this today and ask why it is that it takes unseating a John Cornyn, a Lisa Murkowski, a John Thune for them to get it, right?
Like, what is the disconnect with leadership in a republic that is supposed to be answerable to the people and the reality distortion zone of Washington, D.C., where they somehow believe that somebody like you will not walk into Texas and unseat them?
What is that?
scott presler
Well, good morning, Benny.
Thank you for having me back.
And unfortunately, I'm still not sure that Washington, D.C. gets it.
For the first time in recent memory, we, the grassroots, together have defeated two incumbent Republican, well established, well funded candidates that were allies of Senator John Thune.
I.e., Cassidy and Cornyn.
And really, I think those were shocks to the entire nation.
And yet, Senate Majority Leader Thune, with the California elections, is still not prioritizing the Save America Act, which is what the majority of Americans want.
And unfortunately, I think that this peaceful pain campaign isn't going to end without Senator John Thune losing more of his allies until he finally understands how irate we are.
What the people are feeling in the United Kingdom, I think you're going to see a lot of that anger translate over here.
It's not only immigration, but I think it's because of our extreme lack of election integrity, why we are so mad.
benny johnson
So, one of the things that you did, and I don't know if we have the tweet up.
Alex, can you please grab it?
Scott's banger of a tweet where you were able to unearth a private YouTube video in Spanish of John Cornyn saying, Oh, yes, let's make sure that we get mass amnesty.
And he says it, he says it in Spanish.
unidentified
Yes.
benny johnson
And I don't know, bro.
Like, listen, I'm no political genius here.
You know, we just have a little talk show.
But I think that that was most likely the single most devastating blow to John Cornyn, the end of John Cornyn's career.
I think I could make a good argument that you unearthing that video, and if you wouldn't mind grabbing it, ALX, because I think it did tens of millions of views on your page, hundreds of thousands of likes, and you exposed what John Cornyn truly believes, which is that we should.
Be rewarding people who come here and break our laws and replacing the native populations of Texas.
That's devastating.
That ended his career.
That's how unpopular this is.
scott presler
Yeah, we found it, Benny, from I did a massive opposition research campaign, just unearthing video after video from him supporting the vaccines to H1Bs to amnesty for illegal aliens.
And then we found this video that was kind of.
Set to private where you could still find it, but only if you had the link.
And so we showed it on social media, and within about three hours, it had disappeared from YouTube.
And then within another 48 hours, it was back up, but only again if you had the link.
So clearly, he was no longer proud of his pro amnesty background and his pandering to illegal alien communities in order to gain votes.
And actually, I want to thank Congressman Brandon Gill because he bucked the establishment, he bucked the system.
We need more Congressman Brandon Gills in Texas and across the country.
And he was one of the first people to actually support Ken Paxton.
benny johnson
You know, it's interesting because there is a through line about the protection of Western civilization and our once peaceful societies and the order that is required in order to do that.
The Save America Act is about that order.
This has become, of course, the rallying cry for our entire base.
Mass deportations was one at the convention in 2024.
I know you were there and you saw the signs and you did the chance with me.
But, dude, like the real crux of the issue is can illegals vote in our election and steal our voice from us?
That's it.
I mean, that's become the test.
And why are our leaders failing that test?
scott presler
Well, you know, Benny, it's been very difficult because with the previous administration under Joe Biden, Everything was under lock and key.
We knew that illegal aliens were in our country by the tens of millions.
We knew that they were on the voter rolls.
We knew that some of them were voting, but we couldn't prove it.
And so for so long, we looked conspiratorial and we had no evidence.
And I really have to thank not only DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen, but also former Secretary Noam.
We wouldn't have the proof we have today if it weren't for the Department of Homeland Security, worst of the worst website.
What we did.
Is these people are people that have committed heinous crimes against women, against children.
I mean, these are sexual assaults, these are grape revelations that they have done.
And so, what I thought is, wait a second, what if I take this worst of the worst list, filter it via Pennsylvania, and try to find them on the Pennsylvania voter rolls?
One after one, we are finding literal criminal, heinous, illegal aliens that are not only on the voter rolls but have voted.
In our elections.
And I promise you, Benny, and everybody that's watching right now, we're not just limiting this to the scope of finding this evidence, but I'm alerting the Department of Homeland Security.
I'm bringing this to the DOJ.
And God bless Harmite Dillon with the Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division.
And we're even bringing these investigative processes to the U.S. District Attorneys so they can indict and they can prosecute.
benny johnson
So, you are doing the work that the federal government should be doing in an orderly society to prevent criminal aliens, but the real, but also like criminal, criminal aliens, not only somebody who broke our laws to come here, but also committed crimes when they're here, from voting?
unidentified
Yes.
benny johnson
How does this fall to you, Scott?
scott presler
Well, how does it fall to Nick Shirley to expose Somali fraud in Minnesota?
How does this fall to people like you to give me a platform?
Well, really, what I want people to take away is if you are recognizing in a grave injustice in society, please note that at our very core and principle of being a conservative means don't wait for the government to give you permission to take action.
You, right now at home, you have the authority, you have the Agency, you have the capability to manifest your own destiny right now.
And if the government is not going to be our problem solver, then you, it is incumbent upon you to be the solution maker.
benny johnson
So, what about the election in California?
We spent an entire day yesterday.
We did a two hour and 30 minute show yesterday just speaking to lawyers and election officials, but nobody hits the bricks like you, Scott.
What's going on there?
scott presler
We are watching in real time, Benny.
An election stolen from the people of Los Angeles, stolen from the people of California.
And you know what's even more insidious?
As I was watching your monologue leading into my segment with you, I just found myself realizing how insidious is it that the world that watched as Karen Bass was in Ghana posing for pictures as her city burned.
To the ground.
What's happening right now, Benny?
The woman responsible for a dereliction of duty and feckless leadership that led to the Palisade fire disaster is being rewarded.
She is being rewarded from our system lacking election security, that she is the top vote getter as it stands, and she may very well win reelection.
That tells the world Democrats.
Politicians in America can be so bad that they burn down cities, kill their own citizens, allow for homelessness, taking care of illegal alien populations, allowing for needles to plague our streets, and those very people will be rewarded with power.
What does that tell the world?
benny johnson
It tells them that it's a failed state.
I mean, the takeaway.
I got the LA Times reaching out to me this morning and a bunch of other news sites, left wing news sites doing the same thing.
They're pulling the same op they do every single time.
Show us the evidence.
Show us the evidence.
I can show you the evidence.
It's empirical.
Your systems are broken.
You have a system designed for fraud.
You have a system designed to deliver a specific result to a specific candidate and be untraceable.
You've broken your systems.
So that's the fraud.
When the State Department doesn't acknowledge or says there's a rigged election in some third world hellhole, they don't go through and show a bunch of ballots and say, you know, we didn't signature verify this person, right?
We're the State Department.
They don't go through and show a bunch of unmarked ballots.
The State Department says that the elections were rigged because of the faulty systems in that country.
The election breakdown, we don't believe the results that Kim Jong Un got 99% of the vote.
Because there was a guy with a gun standing inside the polling center.
This is the equivalent of the LA Times being like, well, Saddam Hussein got 99% of the vote.
He's very successful.
He's doing great.
The systems are broken.
And so they always do that.
They always run the same thing.
Where's your evidence?
Where's your evidence?
Instead of going out and finding it themselves, which is, I guess, what you and I are here to do.
So James O'Keefe has footage of them paying homeless people to vote.
There have been plea that the people who did that pled guilty to it.
How, Scott, nobody knows better how to register people to vote and the various laws all across the states.
How do Democrats rig elections in California?
scott presler
On many voter registration applications, assumedly I haven't looked at California recently, so pardon me, there's even a space where it asks for your driver's license or social security number.
If you don't have either, it has a third box that says, I do not have a driver's license or social security number.
And people can still get registered without having either identification on their paperwork.
And what's more, Is although on many forms you do have to put whether or not you're a United States citizen, we have found even in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, people are just checking a box.
And here we have found literal illegal aliens, non citizens registered to vote in places like the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
And one tidbit that nobody has really talked about on a large scale.
Angeles County Recorder website, there's a form, Benny, called the Voter Registration Cancellation Form.
Here's how nefarious California elections are.
Non-Citizens Registered to Vote 00:15:59
scott presler
Get this.
In order to be removed from the voter rolls, they don't just strike people off the voter rolls because of the NVRA, the National Voter Rights Act.
You have to request written paper, sign it, and turn in a form to your county recorder to get your name taken off the voter rolls.
Now, here's where it's so bad.
On the LA form, Benny, Under reason for why you're canceling your form, I promise you, fact check me.
It says literally non citizen as a reason on the form.
The Los Angeles County Recorder themselves are explaining that they have illegal aliens.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Fact check me.
Non citizen breaking news right here, LA County Recorder.
Non citizen.
benny johnson
Scott, you always have an uplifting message.
No matter what kind of show we're doing, you've been coming on the program for years in really dark times and times where it seems like all is lost, right?
They're raiding Donald Trump.
They're trying to put everyone in jail.
What is your uplifting message about the California election?
What can Californians do?
There are 5 million Republicans in California that are being disenfranchised.
I think it's a civil rights issue, quite frankly.
But what can Californians do?
I know there's a voter ID proposition.
On the ballot.
What more?
scott presler
This is very important.
So, the Department of Homeland Security, they have something called the SAVE database.
The reason why the SAVE America Act is called that is it's not just Safeguard American Voter Elections, but it's the SAVE database, which is the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements.
That database, what it does is every person that's registered to vote, it takes their lawful Social Security number and Puts it next to the voter database and will tell you if people are actually lawful American eligible voters.
Now, if you're in a Democrat state with a Democrat California governor and attorney general or secretary of state that will not implement the SAVE database, did you know that your local county recorder can contact DHS and implement the SAVE database without the authority or agency of?
The Secretary of State, or the California governor.
I'm going to put this on every person's heart that's listening in all 50 states.
If you're in a blue state, I want you to reach out to your county reporter, especially if you're in a Republican county like Orange County.
Imagine if we got the same database instituted in a place like Orange, where, by the way, Michelle Steele Benny lasted her election by fewer than 600 votes.
You, the person watching right now, can be that citizen journalist.
Helping to get election security, bypassing your horrible government at the state level, and make sure that we have election security as you are also getting people out to vote for Steve Hilton, a Republican gubernatorial candidate this November, and as you are getting people to vote for the voter ID initiative this November in California.
And last thing, because I do want to say a word of thanks, I know I'm talking forever.
Thank you to every single person that voted to defeat Senator Cassidy in Louisiana.
Thank you to every single person that voted to.
Uh, elect Attorney General Ken Paxton as a Republican nominee, defeating John Corrin.
And last, thank you to every person that helped in Indiana with the defeating of the Republican state legislators because those elections, those wins that we are racking up with the congressional gerrymandering Democrat scams that we are defeating all over the country.
I am optimistic that we can win this November.
I am.
benny johnson
I love hearing that.
I never regret just turning the keys over to Scott to give a monologue to uplift people and point everyone in the right direction.
Scott, we'll be in California later this month.
I'll text you afterwards.
I really hope you can join us.
It'd be fun to do a rally for voter ID.
It'd be fun to take some of this energy that everybody has on this pent up, angry energy and maybe go do something good in the state of California.
Something I've been wanting to do for a long time.
I'll text you about it.
Hopefully, we can put it together at the end of this month.
Okay.
scott presler
Let's do it.
And I will see you at the Texas State Convention where you are emceeing.
And congratulations on that big get up as well.
benny johnson
Okay.
unidentified
Yeah.
benny johnson
I'm not going to wear a cowboy hat this time.
That's in my contract.
There's no contract.
But they just text me.
I'm like, yeah, totally.
That sounds awesome.
Sounds like a great time.
But last time I was in Texas, I wore a cowboy hat.
I felt like cultural appropriation, Scott.
You know, it felt like I was stealing something.
And so everybody.
Follow Scott, the man who prevents Democrats from stealing election.
Probably our greatest secret weapon on the movement to keep America free is the great Scott Pressler.
Support him, follow him, and Godspeed, Scott.
I'll see you soon.
scott presler
May I do a quick plug, Benny?
benny johnson
Please.
scott presler
I am now an author as of today.
And here you have Donald J. Trump with me.
benny johnson
Can we go big on this?
Can we put Scott full screen here?
scott presler
In the Oval Office, I'm now an author with The Persistence available on Amazon.
And the last line of the book, Benny, I started off as a dog walker.
benny johnson
Do we have the Amazon link here so we can put it up on screen?
scott presler
Thank you.
benny johnson
I'm sure we can grab it quickly.
There it is.
That was fast, boys.
scott presler
The last line is I started off as a dog walker and I ended up in the White House.
And I want people to know that through hard work, through sheer dedication, and dare I say persistence, that you can go from the doghouse to the White House.
And I want people to know the power of one.
benny johnson
That's amazing.
Well done, Scott.
God bless you, man.
I'll see you this week.
I'm excited about it.
Everybody buy Scott's book.
If it's not already, we're putting the Amazon link in the description of the show.
You can get Scott's book today.
What a great shot, man.
What a great book cover.
That's the alpha shot right there.
And I think you're taller than both of them.
So there you go.
Definitely have better hair than JD.
I'm not sure about Trump.
We'll poll the audience.
Thank you, Scott.
Godspeed.
scott presler
Thanks, Benny.
Bye.
benny johnson
I'm sorry for running these shows a little bit late.
I mean, it is what it is, but we just like, I've been on a rampage the last couple of days, and we want you to know that we have the same priorities that you do.
We have the same emphasis and the same desires that you do, which is to save the country, save America.
So you have to call out the threats to the country.
And we have an excellent guest coming up in just one moment a man running for the governor of Maine.
Maine has a lot of problems.
It's a beautiful state, it's inarguably one of the most beautiful states in the world.
The country, but it has this is suffering from the same issues, if not perhaps more so than many states.
And I'm, well, really looking forward to this conversation.
American financing can make sure that your American future is secure.
Get out of high interest credit card debt, usury rates, something that I believe should be illegal, something that the president thinks should be illegal, something that I believe is immoral based on scriptures.
But anyway, the point is that you should reconsolidate your debt.
American financing can help you out.
Call American financing today at 888 528 1219.
That's 88 528.
1219 American financing.net slash Benny.
Make sure that you are aligned with mortgage rates in the low fives, the Fed's fund rates, and that you're not getting ripped off so you can have a debt free, slavery free American future.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show for the first time.
Somebody that I'm very much looking forward to speaking with, Jonathan Bush, who is the candidate for the governor of Maine.
Yes, that Bush family, storied history and a storied past in Maine.
Family that's loved Maine for a very long time and a man who's seeking to fix this state.
Welcome, Jonathan Bush, to the program right now.
Jonathan, it's an honor to have you on the show.
I apologize.
But you apologize for being a little late here.
Scott Pressler is, you know, he keeps talking.
It's very eloquent, right?
jonathan bush
It's hypnotizing.
What a guy.
What he's got under the covers.
You want to know, open it up, Scott, open it up.
It's hypnotizing and it's exciting that somebody's that committed.
benny johnson
He could help register voters in Maine, man.
I tell you what, I love the state of Maine.
jonathan bush
Let me tell you something.
We need a Scott.
When you make a donation to the Democratic Socialists of America in your Winnetka, Illinois suburb, That money goes to Portland, Maine.
I mean, we are the demonstration site for the DSA.
As we are seeing in our Senate race, you know, the list of laws, rules that are normal in Maine that would get you cut off by the bartender in any other state for even saying it is as long as my arm.
And it just blows my mind.
But it's exciting to see, you know, a little bit of kickback, a little bit of backlash, a little bit of whoa, whoa, let's get the pendulum back.
Even among, you know, non traditional Republicans, there's like a, What do you mean the boy plays in the girls?
We had a boy win the state championship in track and field, girls track and field.
You can see all the girls going, you know, what?
It's just crazy, made normal by repetition.
And it's exciting to see some real hunger to make not normal.
Every word, the word justice, has been through repetition made into something I don't recognize as justice, social justice, environmental justice, as a crowbar to beat the American dream over the head in this state.
I mean, I knew we were in a bad economic state.
We're number 49 out of 50 states for economic growth, 41 out of 50 states for our schooling.
But man, the culture war, the quiet absconding with the basic main story.
I mean, Mainers are, I mean, I'm sure you sort of can imagine a Mainer, right?
Grit, resilience, has three jobs, good at all three.
That entire ethos has been turned on its head, has been almost robbed from away.
And it's going to turn.
It's going to turn.
This pendulum is way too high, way too weak, and it's coming back down.
benny johnson
So, your current governor dropped out of the race and gave it over to a guy who has Reddit threads that I can't read on the show because he got the show taken down and banned from the internet.
They're that atrocious.
He's just like a sexual deviant.
I think that would be the right way.
There's a lot of allegations for far worse, but let's just say he's a sex pest and a deviant.
And he's also a proud Nazi.
And Democrats are embracing all of that.
jonathan bush
This guy's gotten away with murder because we're all trying to decide, you know, was he a scumbag?
But he's not a scumbag anymore.
He's almost recently, no, he's still a scumbag.
Like his entire personal scumbag litany is the only thing we're talking about, as opposed to the fact that he wants to destroy the American dream.
Like he is a socialism socialist.
He's not a Democrat.
He is trying to co opt property ownership by, you know, the pleasant, bright light of the Socialist Party.
Like, holy mackerel, forget the Reddit thread.
I don't care if he's the Virgin Mary.
He's trying to end the American story.
benny johnson
I'm loving this energy.
This is our first time talking.
So I wasn't sure what I was going to get.
I wasn't sure what I was going to get.
But like, wait a guy.
Like, your Billy Bush was on the program last week.
I'm like, man, where's this Bush family come from?
This is great.
Like, okay.
jonathan bush
So I've been building a business in Maine.
And you know, when you get to work, I'm sure you feel the same way.
You know, you're doing your thing, you're in flow.
And so you assume that other people are worrying about other things.
And when I got done in 2018, we had gotten to 1,000 employees in Mid Coast, Maine.
And in the towns around there, Belfast, Maine is one of the towns.
There are these things in the store windows in Belfast, Maine called stores.
But if you go elsewhere in Maine, there's a store.
benny johnson
I love Belfast, Maine.
I love that city, by the way.
I have such fond memories.
So I just got chills.
I love Belfast, Maine.
jonathan bush
Well, go try Old Town or Dixfield.
You'll be devastated.
You'll be devastated.
These Rumford, these wonderful towns with proud heritage that are suffocating.
Property taxes are going up around the noses of seniors.
Electrical rates are going up because the businesses that used to pay in are gone because this grand socialist experiment from people recently in from Brooklyn, New York, who only eat vegan beer or whatever, have freaking suffocated the economy.
And they don't mind because they're on their MacBook Pros making money from LA design firms or whatever they're doing.
But actual people in Maine, Are being devastated by a violent culture war on their heritage.
Our heritage.
benny johnson
Let's talk about that culture war.
Maine is one of the number one landing spots for Somalis in America.
I don't think anybody in Maine ever put that up to a referendum.
I don't think anybody necessarily voted for third world migrants.
Did Maine vote for unlimited third world migrants into one of the most beautiful, inarguably one of the most beautiful states in the entire country?
Did the people of Maine vote for that?
jonathan bush
Maine voted to be an all around crap magnet for underperforming people.
So if you are stoned out of your mind in Boston, the rehab center will tell you if you flunk out enough times, buddy, you should go to Maine.
Because in Maine, the state will buy you needles.
The state will buy you Narcan.
The state will buy you boofing kits to get the drugs into you if you blow all your veins.
And if you get caught shooting up, the police are not allowed to arrest you.
If you identify yourself as homeless, that's before you get to the 18 different enablement agencies that declare themselves, you know, lambs of God for the underserved.
This is a place that has asked for it.
And we got to stop asking.
We got to ask for what we've always asked for from people personal responsibility, resiliency, good humor, work ethic.
This is stuff that we love here.
And all of a sudden, we've got this onslaught of upside down from away, not just Somalia, freaking Boston.
benny johnson
So, how do you fix it as governor?
jonathan bush
Well, I mean, the good news for me is the first couple swings are a hot knife through butter because there are crazy levels that you can't breathe.
Like, there's not enough oxygen to get a breath of air in the crazy content of the main air.
Our taxes are the third highest in the country.
Personal Responsibility Over DEI 00:14:47
jonathan bush
We are the fifth poorest state in the country.
Like, hey, guess what?
Anyone got some?
Let's brainstorm.
No idea is a bad idea.
Why are no businesses coming here?
I'm waiting.
I'm waiting.
Anyone thinking taxes?
We've doubled the size of our state budget.
Doubled it.
We got 1.3 million people.
We just doubled our state budget during one administration.
So there's just obvious cray cray that's got to go, go.
And there's plenty.
We're one third unenrolled.
People who are sick of the parties.
I don't blame them.
We sound like both parties sound like shit sometimes.
But they are like, please less cray cray.
Please, God, please, God, stop this.
I went in, my wife for one of the debates made me go into a fancy hair salon.
And, you know, I'm looking around going, I don't think I'm going to get a lot of votes here.
You know, they're earrings and they're not in the ears and the colors, and it feels great.
They rub your scalp.
I'm going, holy mackerel, this is so better than Joe the Barber.
But at the end, I go to pay and they're like, no charge.
I said, what do you mean?
They said, listen, we want you to win.
We want you to win.
This is in downtown Portland.
unidentified
I said, why?
jonathan bush
She said, every Friday, we draw straws and the short straw has to come in early on Monday to clean the human shit out of our vestibule.
benny johnson
Ah, come on, man.
unidentified
Whoa.
jonathan bush
That's a real thing in Maine right now.
And if a landlord can't get any tenants, the city has decided that the way to fix it is to fine the landlord.
For not having things in their store window.
Find the land.
How about apologize?
How about make the climate possible?
It's the most beautiful.
You started with how much you love the climate, the community, the natural beauty of Maine.
I mean, you got to work to suffocate this economy.
You got to try because we've got the best people in the world and we're the best place in the world.
But this class war, people from away thinking that this is their demonstration site, that we're weak enough and small enough that their dollar will go further.
To bring forth the bright light of socialism or whatever Bernie Sanders preaches, that is, it makes me so angry that we're getting used as a little rope a dope toy for other people's virtue signaling at vegan wine and cheeses, you know, in the suburbs of LA.
benny johnson
You know, it's amazing.
I saw some polling yesterday that the Temecula Valley, the valley outside of Los Angeles, that is a Republican stronghold, that they voted more for Trump.
Than the reddest county in Florida.
jonathan bush
Really?
benny johnson
That these, like the California Trump voters are more right wing than the Florida Trump voters because they have something to vote against.
jonathan bush
They have a specific.
benny johnson
Do you kind of in the California East Coast?
I mean, I would argue that Maine, naturally gifted, naturally beautiful, hardworking, incredible native people there in Maine, totally supplanted, totally usurped, totally trod upon by left wing leadership and then disenfranchised by left wing leadership.
And people are.
Yeah, people need hope.
Okay, so what would.
jonathan bush
And you know, like Trump, I had a good life.
I had a successful business, killing it.
But I'm looking over here going, what are they doing?
These guys have taken nuts to a new level.
So I'm going after it and it's starting to work.
And I'm thrilled.
I'm thrilled because, and the winks I get, you know, the crazy lefties are on one side of the voting place and I'm on the other side of the voting place all along.
And they're looking over, you know, there's a naughty little smile in the old ladies who are supposed to be.
Obedient little group think Democrats that I can't wait to tap into in this general election when I win the primary today.
benny johnson
So, who's the primary is today?
So, who and you're polling great.
There's a lot of contention.
Who's gonna, with somebody who votes for you, what are they going to get on day number one of your administration?
What are three things that happen right away?
jonathan bush
You think about the way we learn things like you get this little prefrontal cortex where you try to do something for the first time and it's like, God damn it.
You know, the first time I tried to land a plane, too high, too low, too high.
Now, I can be talking to you and landing a plane without anything because it's made its way to the back to the big dinosaur part of my brain.
I have been building businesses in Maine for 30 years.
I have brought 4,000 medical offices to Maine, flown them in, introduced them to the Mainers that will be serving them, bought lobster, got them drunk, and put a contract on their airplane seat as they head home.
I know how to sell Maine and grow the economy.
I won't be thinking about it.
There won't be a blue ribbon committee.
And I've run turnarounds.
I managed $30,000, $30 billion of healthcare payments.
Across 116,000 doctors with no fraud, real time transparency of every penny.
This little state's trying to build a little tiny UK.
You know, I loved your session on the UK, the tragic decline of England.
They think they want to build the English National Health Service here.
All the candidates on the other side are proposing this, a government system.
And meanwhile, their little Medicaid plan, they're leaking out every orifice fraud, waste, abuse.
So I fit like a glove into the near term, proximate, urgent problems.
I can do them without thinking about them because I've done them my whole adult life.
benny johnson
And you would cut out the fraud that is the magnet.
For a lot of the Somali communities, a lot of the third world communities that come to Maine, I hear and see problems like that.
Like the fraud is just absorbing it.
jonathan bush
We've got legal immigrants perfectly marvelously picking our apples for 200 years here, lots of jobs.
There's a process for it.
There's no need to break the rules.
There's no humanitarian excuse for breaking the rules.
There's a way to be here, do the work, contribute.
We'd love to have you.
I can prove we have for 200 years.
But the sinister little, I'm going to get on the good list with the good person and get on the good contract like they're in Somalia is tragic.
It's tragic to them.
They don't deserve that.
They just walk through a freaking desert to get here.
Give them a shot at the American dream.
Give them the rules we all play by.
They'll do better than this baloney fraud.
You know, hey, I'll get you on the.
Like it reminds me of Moscow and the Hudson that, you know, I get you on the good list for the car.
I get you on the good list.
Only I can get you on short list.
What the what?
In Maine, that's happening here.
No more.
benny johnson
No more.
And so you would be prosecuting fraud and theft from the state.
jonathan bush
That'd be a major initiative.
Most of these contracts are contracts that don't need to exist.
You can delegate financial authority to doctors' offices and clinics, put them on a budget, and say, look, if you really need to give a ride, get an Uber, do whatever you want, but it's coming out of your budget.
I mean, people should.
This state, one of part of the culture war is a quiet monopolization of key functions.
So there's been a monopolization of our schools by the state teachers' union.
It's illegal to add a charter school in Maine, literally.
There's been a monopolization of the healthcare system.
It's illegal for a doctor to add his own surgery center and compete with the Monopoly Hospital.
Illegal.
What?
unidentified
Wow.
jonathan bush
I mean, everywhere I look, the state has quietly got the camel's nose in the tent.
Now they've got the whole camel in there taking a dump in the tent.
And each one of these places, the camel's got to go.
The economy's got to come back in the tent.
benny johnson
And so this has been remarked.
You're recalibrating my entire.
Worldview on the Bush family here.
It's like a man.
This is blowing my mind.
This interview is blowing my mind.
jonathan bush
I don't care about your life.
Listen, these are wonderful people.
I grew up, you know, a young child looking up at my Uncle George and Aaron Barr and my cousin W. They're much older than me and they have very different lives.
But I see them, you know, at least a day when they come to Maine in the summer.
And I revere their morality and their marriages and their decency.
I really do.
But I have a different experience.
You know, I've been gritting it out as an entrepreneur.
I started this thing in my basement and I've seen small businesses get snuffed.
By bureaucratic sort of virtue signaling.
Lots and lots of private clinics, doctors' offices, you know, you drive down the road and blah, blah, blah, MD hanging from the little chain sign.
They're all gone.
They're being chased away.
So, my, just to use a Democrat, my lived experience, you know, is that socialism is actually brought back, is being brought back as a new idea, as something that didn't just create 80 million murders just recently in our parents' lifetime.
And it's alarming.
And I think I've got the good humor and the eye contact and the reserves to go and take it on, to call bullshit in a loving way and bring us back from the cliff.
We're on a cray cray cliff right now.
benny johnson
So, just a quick closing question.
It's slightly personal, but why not?
So, the relationship between your cousin, George, and the president, famously not great.
Can you give any insight on that?
And what's your take on Trump?
jonathan bush
Listen, I know no Republicans, including our sitting vice president, that hasn't begged to the Lord for a chance to sew the president's lips shut on various days when he says things.
And I feel the same way.
There's things he says.
That I don't think you need it, doesn't feel like the team is winning when he says it.
But the man spoke up.
He's like the little boy who called the emperor naked while everybody else was complimenting the naked emperor on his clothes.
We got to give him that.
You know, DEI was being normalized at my company.
I'm going, what do we mean we have to interview somebody based on their race?
What?
That sounds racist, you know?
But this was like, well, the lawyer's like, you have to understand there's a real liability if you don't with a straight face, you know?
And I'm like, and Donald Trump is literally the only one.
Who called that out?
And the border.
Remember the Overton window from college?
You know, what you're allowed to talk about?
We are now allowed to talk about the idea that being here illegally is, wait for it, illegal.
And so, like, I don't know, could a guy who doesn't make me furious at what he says to people who don't deserve to be insulted, could a different guy have done a better job or a different?
I don't know.
But we took this road and it worked on several dimensions that we ought to be grateful for.
And I think that's the message that somebody like me can deliver without causing the no kings, you know, the crazy, like a mouse in church or whatever.
benny johnson
And George and Trump, now I'm crying.
George and Trump, do they ever talk?
Have they ever spoken?
jonathan bush
Believe me, when I get a minute with George, I'm talking about love and God and soldier.
I don't want to waste a minute on anything that pisses him off because he's such a beautiful man.
And I feel so lucky.
He's 79 now, you know, you forget that.
Uh, and he has lived a life.
When I get a chance to kibitz about politics, it's Maine politics, it's state senators I got to deal with, it's you know, voters I got to grab.
Um, and he's a you know, I know a lot of you love to hate him or whatever, but I get five minutes with him and see how long you can try to hate that guy.
He is a beautiful man.
benny johnson
So, a lot of people who have private time with uh George W. Bush say, and I think it's really important to separate the man from the policy.
There are some people that are.
Terrible men with great policy, some people with terrible policy that are great men.
I think that is like frankly important and good to be honest about.
jonathan bush
And 100% of people, not 90, but 100% of people who have mattered in leadership have screwed up.
I have been a, since I was made platoon leader in the army, I have been leading groups of people against missions since I was a boy.
And I have made countless devastating mistakes.
And I know I will going forward.
It's the man in the arena poem, right?
I mean, Blaming him for getting it wrong or not cross examining, you know, about the whatever.
Okay.
But anyway, he threw his entire heart and soul at serving all of us.
And God bless him for it.
And, and I, and, and, hey, I know I'm going to screw something up big when I win this, Benny.
And I hope you grill my, you know, caboose when I do, because I want that accountability.
But it won't be because I didn't try my heart out.
benny johnson
Okay.
I've thoroughly enjoyed, I've thoroughly enjoyed this interview.
I didn't enjoy your time.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview.
I didn't know what I was going to be getting.
I really, I thought I'd be getting, please clap, to be quite honest with you.
But I didn't.
And now I'm the one clapping.
jonathan bush
God bless you, man.
unidentified
Yeah.
benny johnson
All right.
Well, God bless you.
jonathan bush
And we'll get you a lobster.
benny johnson
I would love that.
I'm sure we have.
Here we go.
Here's the campaign slogan sign.
And his name is Jonathan Bush, but he's got a beautiful evergreen tree there.
And he's running for governor for Maine.
And the election is today.
Here's the website right here.
Bring the American dream back to Maine.
Well, you heard plenty of that today.
Got to see you, Jonathan.
jonathan bush
Thanks, Penny.
Thanks for having me.
benny johnson
Thanks, man.
Ladies and gentlemen, just too many interesting interviews today.
And I apologize.
I just sometimes I can't.
I was like, wow, what was that energy?
Could we travel back in time and transplant that energy into George W. Bush as president?
I think you might have gotten on another Trump.
Like, honestly, that was based and scorched earth and very interesting.
And, well, that's why we do the show.
Pam Everett is the lieutenant governor of South Carolina.
And she's been extraordinarily patient.
She's a Trump endorsed candidate for governor of South Carolina, a critical state.
Pam Evitt, my apologies there, is running for governor today.
South Carolina votes today.
South Carolina has embarrassed all of us in the South by not getting rid of a gerrymandered racial district that is illegal.
And we're going to talk to Pam about that right now.
She joins us live.
Mrs. Lieutenant Governor, it's an honor to have you on the program.
I got to tell you, this is our first time on the program, but I've retweeted you like four or five times because you went so hard in the paint for getting rid of a racially gerrymandered DEI district and one of the worst members of Congress.
Fighting Gerrymandered Districts 00:05:38
benny johnson
And I really appreciate your fight on that.
pamela evette
Well, Benny, first off, thank you for having me on your show.
And Jonathan is a hard act to follow.
Like listening to him, I almost felt like I needed to drink an energy drink so I could get on.
And like, he was awesome.
And if I wasn't running, I would send him money.
Like everybody watching, send that guy money.
I didn't realize how bad Maine was until I heard him talking.
But I mean, what a dynamo.
You know, go, Jonathan.
That's all I'm saying.
Even though I'm running today, I'm rooting for you down here in South Carolina.
Benny, it was heartbreaking to me that we could not get this done for the president.
South Carolina, an amazing red state, right?
We have always been the road to the White House.
You know, we are six and one, six Republicans, one Democrat.
And as soon as that Supreme Court ruling came down, the governor and I really leading the charge sat down with the governor.
Governor kind of tweeted out, like, hey, General Assembly, let's get on this.
The House, thank you to the Speaker of the House and all the members of the House.
They did.
Representative Luke Rankin put in a bill, really fought hard for it.
It passed the House and it got to the Senate.
And, Benny, it was sad.
I sat in the back of the Senate and I was listening to these arguments and it re energized me.
You know, 30 days out from this election, you're so worried about winning.
You almost lose sight of the fact that even though South Carolina is a bright red state, we can't lose our momentum and we can't have Republicans.
I mean, literally, the majority leader in the Senate was giving a speech about how we are better than that.
Right.
And we shouldn't come in here and rush this through.
And I'm thinking, can you possibly believe that's right?
Because if this was in reverse, the Democrats would have came in, they wouldn't have put up an amendment, they would have voted it, they'd have shoved it down our throat, they'd have been having lunch, we wouldn't have known what hit us.
And so I was, it just kind of renewed my emphasis that, you know, voters have to keep an eye on what we're doing and who they're putting and sending down to Columbia.
benny johnson
Yeah, Miss Lieutenant Governor, I just don't have an explanation for this.
It's probably one of the more egregious gerrymandered districts in the country.
It's on your screen right now.
I have a million kids, you know, five, four, two, and one are the ages of my four children.
And they draw all day.
And my two year old would be able to draw a better line than this.
My two year old hopped up, you know, on a juice box would draw a more fair map.
Than what South Carolina has right now.
There's no way to explain this other than racial gerrymandering in order to steal a seat away from the people of South Carolina.
It's egregious.
You're saying the argument was decency?
Like, is that like?
Well, you're still buying that?
People are still like, oh, yeah, you know, they wouldn't do it to us.
pamela evette
They would do that and so much more.
I kept saying, you know, I was the face of this.
I was proud to be the face of this redistricting.
And, you know, News interview after news interview, that's what I kept saying is like, you know, we deserve to send President Trump seven and oh.
We should send him seven strong conservative Republicans to fight for the American first agenda.
I mean, the president has done so much for this country, laid it on the line, didn't have to do it.
They've gone after him physically three times trying to assassinate him, gone after his children, gone after his businesses.
And, you know, all he was looking for was a little help in DC.
And I mean, it was, we're rushing this through.
We shouldn't do this.
We should take our time.
You know, the Senate likes to consider themselves a deliberative body, right?
And so I, but I was shocked that 12 senators joined the Democrats here in a state where we have a supermajority.
And reporters said to me over and over again, Do you think the president's going to come after them?
And I said, It's not going to have to be the president because the voters of South Carolina, I was campaigning all over the state, and they were telling me, Do not take your foot off the gas.
We need this for our country.
I mean, it's not just us.
And the Democrats were on TV all weekend.
You had Kamala Harris saying, We need to get rid of the electoral college, we need to pack the courts.
You had Cory Booker saying, Oh no, we need to bring Washington as a state, we need to bring Puerto Rico in as a state.
It's like Republicans listen to them.
They're telling you what you're going to do, what they're going to do.
And we have to do everything we can.
I mean, look at all the New England states.
I read an article, it was like 42% Republicans in those areas, not one Republican getting represented, sending a Republican to represent them in D.C. Thank God for President Trump because he just shines a light on everything that he knows is wrong.
benny johnson
So, You have the president's endorsement.
He clearly really likes you and is aligned with what you wish to bring to the state.
Could you please project a vision since it is election day and you are the lieutenant governor?
So you probably know where all the cupboards are, you know, where all the keys are, right, in the office.
Election Day Vision for Governors 00:09:09
benny johnson
And so what happens day one of your administration?
I assume you'd be able to fast track a lot of these policies.
And if you don't mind, you just called out this graphic.
We actually made this graphic at our At our site.
So here it is.
This is exactly what you said 42% Republican representation, zero seats.
That's what New England has.
So just a call for.
Okay.
So what happens on day one, Pam?
pamela evette
Well, Benny, day one, I mean, Jonathan has a whole different bag of problems he has to deal with on day one.
And I'm glad I have the problems I do and not all of his.
But on day one, we're going to eliminate state income tax.
Because when you look at all the southern states, and I'm a business person, Benny, I mean, I spent my entire career, I started a business.
In an office in my home.
I grew it into a national company operating in 49 states.
I'm a business person that got a call from the governor who said, Hey, I want somebody to run with me that understands business, that is signed the front of paychecks.
And I was feeling like government was getting so intrusive that it was almost a calling like, okay, I've grown this business.
I'm going to step away and try to do something good.
So I'm just a business person that came over here to make a difference and bring some business principles.
So, I know putting money back in people's pockets is number one here in South Carolina.
Getting rid of regulations, over 80,000 regulations on our books here in South Carolina.
And so, for me, it's about sunsetting all of them, bringing them back up in front of the General Assembly, which over the last eight years, being Lieutenant Governor, I have gotten to make really good relationships with many of the Republicans in the General Assembly.
I think I've earned their respect, and we can get a lot of things done.
And getting rid of these regulations.
Eliminating our state income tax, one of two states that allows the General Assembly to completely elect our judges.
You know, the governor and I have not been for that for years.
We've been saying that the governor should appoint the General Assembly, can confirm it, it should be based on merit, it should be term limited, and we should have a review process because it's no shocker to anybody.
You turn on the TV and you see judges just falling off the rails.
Letting career criminals back out on the streets.
We want to make sure here in South Carolina we have a mechanism to remove those judges if need be.
So, President Trump, when he called me, said, I know all the players in this race, and I'm picking you because I believe you're the only one that can bring the America First agenda to South Carolina and keep it here.
Make sure we protect American businesses, American workers, and American farmers.
benny johnson
So, one issue that, of course, is near and dear to everyone's heart is how do we, in fact, redistrict the state?
On top of all those, which are amazing, and it makes me very jealous because, like, if there's another tax free state in the South, my goodness, you know, I thought Florida had it, the corner market on that.
You're never getting Disney World, though.
Let me tell you what, Pam.
Let me tell you, Pam.
That was the funniest thing when Nikki Haley was like, come on, Disney, come to South Carolina.
I don't, I don't, I don't like, no hard feelings here, but like, I don't think it's going to happen.
pamela evette
Well, you come, Benny.
If we can get, If we can get the mouse to South Carolina, then you got to move the show and come here too.
benny johnson
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
We didn't move anywhere because of Disney.
It's actually quite the opposite.
But I'm glad the work that DeSantis has done on that corporation.
Talk about bending the knee.
Disney certainly bent it.
That was a W for DeSantis in this state.
Well, anyway, can you roadmap for us?
You just had some incredible policies laid out.
Roadmap for us.
How will you finally bend the Senate to your will and get rid of this?
Racial gerrymander seat that is illegal based on American law and Supreme Court precedent.
pamela evette
Well, when they come back into session, it's going to be top on our list to get things done.
And, you know, the governor here in South Carolina, you have the power, you have the power of the bully puppet.
But I serve all people of South Carolina.
You know, senators, they serve their district.
And it's reaching out and getting people in their district involved in reaching out to their elected officials.
You know, the Senate is up for election in 28.
And so they're going to be really listening to the people in their districts.
And when those people start emailing them and saying, listen, we want this done, then I think you're going to see the senators actually bend the knee to their constituents because we had a very popular congressman in this state that voted to impeach President Trump.
And he went from really high polling to getting voted out in the next election.
Carolina really watched the issues.
And I think our senators will take note of that and do the will of their people.
benny johnson
I can't believe I missed this joke.
I normally don't miss this joke, Pam, but it was a, you know, we had a tough night with the kids.
So sometimes I'm not exactly on my game.
I can't believe I missed the Disney joke with Lindsey Graham and the bubble wand.
That would have been the greatest thing ever.
Lindsey Graham would probably be totally for Disney coming to South Carolina.
That dude loves Disney.
pamela evette
I've never talked to the senator about that.
So I cannot confirm or deny what the senator would like to do.
benny johnson
You don't need to.
There's a photo.
All right.
We don't need to go there.
I can't believe I missed that one.
Here we go.
Better late than never.
pamela evette
Better late than never.
You got it out.
benny johnson
We love South Carolina.
It was beautiful, they were beautiful to us during the South Carolina primaries.
We spent a number of days there.
And I love the state so very much.
I think you'll do an amazing job.
You're leading the pack in the governor's race.
Maybe a final word to everybody hitting the polls today in your state.
pamela evette
Well, Benny, thank you so much for having me on today.
And to everybody, get out and vote.
It is really sad that normally in midterm primaries, we get less than 13% participation.
Apathy is not our friend.
So get out, do your civic duty.
Let's cast a vote.
And look at my resume.
You know, there's a lot of people in this race.
The president said it well when he endorsed me.
A lot of people in this race, but pick somebody that has the resume to do the job.
I was a successful CEO in the private sector, and I've been sitting at the right hand of the best governor South Carolina has ever known.
We are a conservative success story here in South Carolina.
And so I've sat at his right hand now for almost eight years.
And I'm ready on day one to make sure we do all the things that are important to the people of South Carolina.
benny johnson
Just one final critical, very quick question, Pam.
You're not going to be counting for weeks after the election, right?
There's not going to be unlimited numbers of unmarked ballots that come in for homeless encampments for you?
pamela evette
Absolutely not.
It is shocking to me that they're still counting ballots in California.
And I remember doing press for the president on election night.
And I was up on the risers, and I can't remember what outlet asked me because they said, hey, do you think the president's going to call foul on this election?
Because They had already had problems in Pennsylvania that morning, like by 7 20, they had problems.
And I said, you know, if people don't want the president to call them out, then do the right thing.
Allow poll watchers in, make sure everything's running smooth.
My mom's 97 years old.
She lives with me.
And she can remember when her and my dad would go to vote, they would literally punch a card.
And by the time they went to bed at 11 o'clock, they knew who won all the elections.
So, I mean, come on.
People are still around that remember those days.
It's really sad that we have what's happening in other states.
But I'll tell you, when Pamela Evitts, the next governor, will make sure we will protect and even harden more so our voting laws so that nobody feels like they cast a vote that had been wasted here in the great state of South Carolina.
benny johnson
Yeah.
I mean, you're right.
People don't understand what a sleeper South Carolina is.
I saw this map that showed the percentage increase in population intra migration from other states.
South Carolina led.
By a huge margin, actually.
I thought it would be Florida or Texas.
Nope.
It was actually South Carolina per capita.
The highest intra United States migration is your state.
So, you know, there's wonderful things when it comes to that, but there's also cultural change and things can go south really quickly.
We've seen it in other states.
pamela evette
So, wow.
The good message I bring to you, Benny, is the people that are coming here are refugees from blue states that can't take it, right?
New York, California, Maryland, Virginia.
I mean, what a.
I can't even believe from Glenn Youngkin to what they have today.
South Carolina Leads Migration 00:02:25
pamela evette
I mean, they're taxing their sporting dogs.
We're looking to eliminate state income tax.
They're taxing dogs.
I mean, I can't even get it.
I don't even understand it.
benny johnson
When you attack the dogs, that's a line too far.
That is a bridge too far.
Ladies and gentlemen, Pam Evitt, Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, currently the future Governor of South Carolina.
Follow her on social media, standing strong with the President right there.
Godspeed.
Thank you.
pamela evette
Thank you, Benny.
benny johnson
Oh, ladies and gentlemen, we have a.
Yeah, it's always like fun.
It's always fun to like roll through this show.
Kara is our booker on this program.
Just such a great job having interesting people to talk with.
You should do interesting talks on your Patriot mobile device.
Come on.
You knew we'd get a Patriot mobile conversation going here on this show.
Patriot mobile, ladies and gentlemen, will, well, we'll be chilling with them in Dallas, Texas, then also in California.
They're our proud partners, whether we're on the road or here in the studio.
They are joining us in the fight.
Conservatives should not get comfortable.
The left starts taking ground from us.
We can't let it happen, especially in our red states.
I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile because they believe in freedom of speech and they're the only Christian conservative wireless provider in the world.
Patriot Mobile is so much more than great wireless service.
They support a growing movement of Americans defending faith, family, and freedom and the future of this country.
They donate millions a year to organizations that fight for our freedoms.

And so we're excited about it this weekend.
You can join us.
This will be in Houston, and I'll be the MC of the state GOP dinner.
Maybe I'll talk with Scott Bessett about Advantage Gold.
Bringing Liberty to Light 00:04:35
benny johnson
I don't know.
Not financial advice, but Advantage Gold does help us ensure that our 401k is diversified into precious metals, something physical, something real.
The richest families on earth buy physical assets, homes, land, property, artwork.
If you can't afford a Monet, I certainly cannot.

Our verse of the day today, as we await some big news out of the Carmelo Anthony trial, Carmelo Anthony going to a verdict today.
We may get.
A verdict today.
And the OJ trial lasted years.
Kyle Rittenhouse, Derek Chauvin trials, those lasted months.
Camilo Anthony trial has lasted just weeks, a week, I think less, perhaps.
And so expect a quick verdict in this very, very sad circumstance that brings us to, well, probably going to be the subject of the show tomorrow.
I expect a verdict today.
I expect the jury to return in minutes, frankly.
They're doing closing arguments right now.
But what does it mean?
We need Jesus.
We need Jesus as a country.
Young 17 year olds stabbing each other, killing each other, degeneracy, the evil and demonic forces of rap music and criminal culture that is pervasive.
It's terrible.
And you see a story about it every single day.
That is just a lost culture, man.
And it's the same way as it's always been.
That's the point of the show.
You don't want to bring that into your nation.
You want to exercise that because we have a Christian government in this country.
We are built for a moral and Christian people and none other, says John Adams.
And so the only way to fix that is through faith, through prayer.
Our verse of the day from Proverbs 31, a prayer.
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly, defend the rights of the poor and the needy.
We're speaking up for the people who can't speak for themselves.
We're talking about the harsh realities of the UK because they'll be put in prison if they speak up by their government.
We thank God won't yet.
Speak up and judge fairly.
Please let that be our prayer today.
In the Carmelo Anthony trial.
Judge, fairly.
Do not let this monster or his family get away with murder.
We need justice.
Pray for justice today and march with us on to victory.
It's your boy Benny.
Thanks for watching.
See ya.
