Benny Johnson (9:12)
Right. First I'm going to, I'm going to backtrack a little bit. What, what's going on, Steve? The one of the biggest thing that surprised me, everybody, when I went all in to secure our elections and the 2020 stolen election, and I just dove into it with them going, these are deviations and anomalies in history. And I've said it before on my shows and I've said it publicly. The biggest surprise of all for me was the blockers. I call them the uniparty Republicans. You get down to give an example in Arizona, all of a sudden the head of the Senate is going to. They're going to decertify. And all of a sudden they vote and they get. It's like they get Zapped and something happened. And these are the things that don't make sense when you talk about Pam. When Pam came out a few months ago, obviously she had some. She's showing off some. Something happened we don't know about. And I think it's been. I think it's been saying, you know, instead of whatever it is, you don't just say out there was nothing when there was something. Things like this that don't make sense to us all. And here's a. And here's what they did to me specifically after one attack after another and not just by the left of the media and all this. This was our. This was. Got down. One of the biggest fight was the FBI. I'm coming back from a hunting trip with my buddy and it's noon, it's 12:30 in the afternoon and we pull into a Hardee's. And for those of you that haven't heard the story, this is bizarre. There was no one in line. I got my food. All of a sudden the car pulls in sideways in front of me. One up to the right of us and one behind us. Now realize we have guns, shotguns in the back. We're coming back from a morning duck hunting trip that's two hours from my company, where I stand right now. Now, I said to my buddy, something's going down. State. I said, something's going down. Something's happening. If any of you have read my book, I know I've been in a lot of. I've been in the streets. I've been guns to my head and swords to my throat. And I opened my door and I yelled out, I said, who are you and what do you want? These were old cars. It wasn't the FBI. Black cars that look like FBI. This is beat up undercover. You would never know that they're FBI. Looked like a bunch of gangsters. And the guy goes for FBI, Said, I don't believe you. Show me your badge. He showed me his badge. I said, how about you? I said, show me your badge. He showed me a badge. I said, what do you want? And he says, and he says, we're not going to arrest you. We just want to talk to you. Now let's frame that right there. Everybody. If this would have happened at night, I wouldn't have got out and said, let me see your badge or what do you want? I would have bashed through them and went looking for a real cop. I would have. I wouldn't have even hesitated because I was a target then. And I knew that. And I took off, but I thought it was a target of deep state bad guys, which I was not the FBI. So now we get out there and he starts asking me, there's FBI guys from Colorado, they're from Minnesota. There's like, they're like cattle out there. A bunch of, you know, there's like six of them. And they're all, yeah, we're not going to rush. We just want to ask you some questions. And my buddy is just going into this panic. I said, can he go sit down? And. And they said, yeah. And I said, I mean, I've been in situations like this, so I didn't care. I'm in their face and going, and they're asking me these questions. And I'm going. I said, no, I want to get arrested. This is what I said to him. I want to get arrested. I want to go to January 6th, that committee, even though I wasn't there. And they go, mike, those are different FBI guys. I go, I go, well, what, you know, what are you here for? They wouldn't explain it. Then they finally, I found out they're from Colorado. I said, oh, you're the guys in Colorado that ripped citizens down the steps. Mothers, their daughters down the steps. Thirteen year olds, made him stand out in the yard in their underwear. Nobody got arrested. And I said, you guys did that. And you bashed Sharona Bishop's door down with a battery ram. And the FBI goes, she didn't open her door fast enough. I said, oh, really? We're supposed to all have little egg timers. 33, 34. It was 34 seconds, according to when they. From the time they knocked it, where they bashed it down with a battering ram. Now that we go all the way through this. And then obviously this was. They were trying to make it into as the police political prisoner. Now, Tina Peters, bring it back to that. And I'm realizing this. They're asking me about my plane. Well, where. Where'd you go on your plane? What have you used your plane for? Well, I'm telling. Listen here, FBI guys, I put over 750 hours on. I wore out four pilots and flew around this country trying to secure our elections and meeting with the secretary of state's attorney generals. That's all I did for a year and a half. So I'm chewing these guys out, basically. And then they go, finally he gets to the point. He goes, well, we need to take your phone. I go, you're not getting my phone. By the way, everybody, I still don't have my Phone back. There's pictures on there of my grandkids. My father passed away after that, and I still don't have it back. But anyway, he goes, yeah, we want your phone. I said, you're not getting my phone. I want to be arrested. I wanted to get arrested because I wanted to make the news so that I could say, we got to get rid of the voting machine. It was all a thing. It was the only way I could get the word out. So, you know, maybe then it would actually get on Fox News and they would report something. So that was my thinking. Well, they go, no, we're not going to arrest you. And I said, well, you're not getting my phone. And they said, well, why don't you? I said. I said, no, we're taking your phone. I said, I want to call my lawyer. They go, no, you can't call a lawyer. I said, well, then we got a problem. Then I get my wish. You got to arrest me. You're not getting my phone. I need to call my attorney. So finally they say, okay, call your attorney. The attorney's going, give him your phone. And after he reads this thing that they had given me, this sheet, one of the things the sheet said, I'll never forget it said, now, this is part of an ongoing investigation. You have the right to tell people about this. This confiscation or this to take or this incident. But we suggest. We hope you don't, that you would reach out to the attorney general, Colorado, before you would tell the world. So I did that at night on my show. You. Everybody plug your ears. And I read that paper, told everybody. But at those FBI guys, Steve, what they. And now this is an hour and a half later. There's crowds around the Hardy parking lot. And I'm just not backing down. And I start telling myself, what's wrong with you guys? I said. I said, the one guy had read my book. I'm starting to talk about Jesus Christ and the Lord and trying to get these people. Have you read. Have you read, you know, the story? I said. And I said. And he goes. He goes, yeah. I said, and you're sitting here doing stuff against the citizens that you know is wrong. The one guy goes, mike, we're just doing our job. I go, your job? If it was your job, you could have drove to my corporate and said, hey, give me a download of my phone. And I would have gladly given it to you. I'm the most transparent person that ever walked the planet. Isn't that right, Tim Cook? You know, I Don't care. They could have got, you know. Instead you try and trap me. So maybe it's a, you know, that I did bash through. And then, boy, that one with a set, my pillow guy tries to escape. And you know, guns in the car. Who knows? We don't know. But they. But I shoot him out and for over a half hour. And finally the one FBI guy goes, mike, we gotta go. You know, he goes, I've been doing this 30 some years. I've never seen a stop like this. I said, well, I said, you know what? You haven't seen me. This is disgusting, what you're doing to citizens. I said, look at my friend there. My friend's in the car. He's still shaking to this day. Was afraid that he would. He got in trouble or something. I go, I've done nothing wrong. So, Steve, I took that case to the Supreme Court. They won't look at it. Another fine institution. Oh, we wouldn't look at it because you don't have standing. I don't have Stanny. It's my phone. It's the American. It's our freedoms. You know, nowadays it's just not taking someone you to call. Like I say, I had pictures of it, but I had other stuff on there, passwords and stuff. I couldn't get back. And I had to go redo. It runs about five businesses and. And then, and then they. We took it to the 8th, 8th court here. The 8th district or Supreme Court, Minnesota. I remember bringing it there in. I did the war room from out in the hallway. I got in trouble for doing the. Doing my hit from the hallway. But they asked the FBI, they asked their lawyers, these judges did and said, why didn't you just make a copy of his phone and why do you need the physical phone or whatever? And she wouldn't give an answer. Then they asked her, well, what's the attorney client privilege? Who's looking for that? This is our government saying, well, we look at that. So what do you look at? Say, oh, guess we shouldn't have seen that. We shouldn't have seen that. Well, obviously they've had it since September of 2020. Where is it, Steve? I thought with our new FBI guys coming in that I would get my phone back. It's pretty simple, you know, give me back my pictures. But it's not just about a phone. It's our freedoms. And here's these guys saying, oh, we're just doing our job. When you go against your moral compass, you know, I'm. Shame on you. That's the way I feel about all these blockers that are out there. And it's not just the FBI as I've been I've had CIA after me, all kinds of stuff that the I could go on and on and I would take up to hours of your show by the Institute, the government we got we got my company.
