Tone & Style

The episode is urgent, combative, and steeped in populist language. Benny blends outrage, humor, and “insider” knowledge with a focus on exposing “corruption.” There is a repeated interplay of storytelling, audience solidarity, and vivid examples, often punctuated by viral clips and internet references. The language is blunt, often mocking Democratic leadership, and geared heavily toward a right-populist audience.

Benny Johnson’s November 3, 2025 episode is a full-throated attack on alleged mass welfare fraud—particularly by illegal immigrants—citing new Trump administration data, whistleblowers, Social Security and USDA sources, and linking the issue to voter fraud and congressional apportionment. Guests like Rep. Jeff Van Drew and Hogan Gidley advocate for drastic welfare reforms (citizenship verification, robust work requirements) and depict blue states as intentionally hiding evidence of fraud to protect their political power. The episode blends viral culture, policy debate, and a populist call-to-arms, positioning the show as the truth-telling alternative to “establishment” media.

See ya sayonara and some of the major problems in our country. But since it was Halloween and we haven't been live since the great J.D. vance meme Mageddon, I want to tell you that we were right once again. So we were right once again and we predicted what was going to happen. This is the prediction video. Please climb. I told you all that J.D. vance was going to go as the J.D. vance meme. I told you this because I asked J.D. vance about this on Air Force Two and I, I know that there are a lot of things going on in the world but I'm also an emissary of you and the Internet was raging demanding to know if J.D. vance was going to go as the famous J.D. vance. There's a lot of them. There's a lot of JD Vance memes. Please give me the side by side voice. There's a lot of J.D. vance memes.

[Doge Social Security Expert]

And.

[Benny Johnson]

But there's one that is in particular, it's J.D. vance, a lot more heavyset, with like this 80s rock star hair, wearing a, you know, periwinkle blue shirt and a pink tie. And I told you what was about to happen. So I like being right. I'm not going to like apologize for it. We are professionally right on this program. If you listen to this program, you're often two or three weeks or months ahead of what the news cycle is going to be. We have predicted these things time and time again. Again. Mike Davis was on our program. Dude, if you had just been betting in Polymarket, you would have been so rich. Mike Davis was on our program saying Letitia James's fat ass is going to prison. He was telling you, he was signaling to you what was going to happen. And lo and behold, where does Letitia James find herself now? She is in the first of many indictments that's going to happen for Letitia James. And so here. What here we were last week, 72 hours ahead of the actual news cycle, telling you what's going to happen with JD Vance today. I asked JD Vance point blank what his Halloween costume was going to be because I've seen the speculation online and, well, we all want this to happen. And J.D. vance told me this. Stay tuned. The Internet is going to love this. The Internet is going to love this. Ladies and gentlemen, your first meme. Lord Vice President, get ready. Okay, So I told so. So we predicted it. Now, J.D. vance started the day by posting the. Can you hear the screaming meme. Like, I can tell you that J.D. vance. J.D. vance told me that this meme is his favorite and that he loves the. Can you hear the screaming meme that's there on the list, Alex? Set to decline. I don't know. How did we miss this, boys? How do we miss it? I know, I know. Can you hear the screaming?

[Jeff Van Drew]

Is.

[Benny Johnson]

It's very spooky. It's very spooky. Halloween style. There it is, Klein. There you go, buddy. I got you, buddy. Don't you worry, Al. I'm here for you. This is the first meme that J.D. vance posted and everyone thought, okay, he's just gonna. He's just gonna post, you know, he's just gonna post memes. Nope. No, he's going to go as the freaking meme. And J.D. vance turned into this. There you go. This is such an embrace of Internet culture, such an embrace of the joke. Don't we need this? Don't we need more people that can actually take a joke? This is called self deprecating humor. This means you don't take yourself too seriously. You just, you just kind of roll with it. So like, you just kind of like, you just kind of like flow state through all the attacks. This is what you want in a leader and this is what you want in somebody who, you're, who's going to be trusted to make good and wise decisions. You can't have people that can be persuaded or trolled or cold into cuck behavior. And so this is like, this is again, like this is a taking a step back. This is a big leadership quality to be able to just laugh at yourself. Keep going, Klein.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Now.

[Benny Johnson]

Go. Climb. Here we go. Now Klein's ready. How do we miss this block, boys? I don't know. It's because we move, we move too quickly. Always looking ahead, never looking back. But whatever. Here's J.D. vance's beautiful family. Here he is with his kids. There he is walking with a meme, hair on. And then he made videos. Let's go.

[Jeff Van Drew]

J.D.

[Benny Johnson]

Vance actually did the, did the stay please meme. And this is the obviously what he said to Zelinsky. Say please and thank you. Go. Happy Halloween, kids. And remember, say thank you. Do we have the side by side? If we don't, that's the one thing that I'm going to absolutely demand because there's the, the meme. I, I don't know. I, you know, don't, don't ask questions of the Internet. It just works the way that it works. Producers, I'm, I'm not moving on in the show until we get the side by side. We're not moving on in the show until the audience gets like, I need, I need J.D. vance. Nope. I need him spinning. Not moving on until we get it. That one's really good. Put that up until, until we actually, until we get it. Thank you. I think we might have actually. No, no, no, no. There's better versions of this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want like the, you need to see what J.D. vance has actually done here. So this is the energy. Nope. That's not. That, that's not, that's not. I need it. I need it in real time. I know the producers can do it. I can't believe that we're here, but we're not moving. We're not moving on until we actually get it. We're gonna be here all day. We're gonna be here all day. So I need the actual like the, the J.D. vance spinning, the side by side of J.D. vance spinning and then the actual meme of him spinning around. So. Yeah, that's right. The prophecy has been fulfilled. So this was it. And again, like, sorry that we're building this live with you guys. We do all this pre production for the show. I like completely missed the whole like opening block. And this is the most, this was the most important thing. This is the most viral thing that happened the entire, the entire weekend. There we go. Thank you. Is the full on embrace of what the left thought was an attack on J.D. vance. They said we're going to make fun of you, we're going to make you fatter, we're going to make, give you male pattern balding. We're gonna give you this funny hair, we give you this funny, like these goofy eyes. And J.D. vance like, oh, I can own that. And that's actually how, that's actually how you take the sting out of every attack as you prove that not only does not bother you, but you're in on the joke. It's a wonderful quality for our leaders. It's a wonderful quality to have in life and it makes for delightful Internet content. So there it is. I don't know why this was. I don't know. This is what he's doing here. I don't know why this was famous, the, the 3D rotation of J.D. vance, but that's what he's doing. So when he, when he does, when he does that spin, this is what he's trying to replicate. You've never seen it before? Oh, man. It's dark Internet theory. It definitely works. And well, we're just very proud to have been first to this important news. Here it is. What do you think, ladies and gentlemen? I think it worked out great. I think it worked out. I think it worked out absolutely great. At some point you like end up forgetting you've seen so many JD Vance memes, you end up forgetting what JD Vance like actually looks like. There we go. This was him and his family. And I don't know who that is. Maybe his Secret Service agent was dressing up too. Yeah, I'm not sure. Not sure. But there we go. Is this what J.D. vance looks like? And like nobody even is sure. Like, what does J.D. vance actually look like? This is very. The Federal Reserve just cut interest rates. And history tells us what usually happens next when the Fed slashes rates Gold and silver takes off, sometimes exploding by double digits in months. Why? Because the Fed devalues the dollar. Hard assets like gold and silver become the ultimate safe haven. Right now, Advantage Gold is releasing their urgent 2025 gold and silver report. This report lays out why Americans need to invest in precious metals today. This is the best time in modern history to invest. As the Fed gambles even further with our national debt and the value of the dollar, you can legally move your IRA or 401K or TSP into physical gold and silver. Text Benny to 85545 right now, that's Benny to 85545. Do it today and get your free copy of the 2025 Gold and Silver report before the Fed's next move potentially sends metals even higher. Text Benny to 85545. Help protect your savings, help secure your future. Invest in America. Gold and silver, very scary for libs, by the way, because this is the kind of energy that ends up winning. They can't control this. Everything that they do and everything that they say is shrouded in lies and in insecurities and, well, this is just authenticity and owning it. And so we have nothing to hide. We are here to grab the energy, ladies and gentlemen, the left is here to absolutely hide what they are doing in our nation. As it pertains to some pretty alarming numbers that we're now learning about snap, about Social Security benefits, about how many terrorists are in this nation. I think we're just like, I think we're just scratching the surface on what the Biden administration has done and what, what horrors they have wrought on our nation. And there is a rot in our country. And these blue states are now hiding information from the Trump administration. The Trump administration is trying to find out how many criminal aliens have been given Social Security cards, how many criminal aliens are on welfare benefits. If you cut the benefits, you'll cut the illegal aliens. They'll go home if they're not being. It's too expensive to live here. And if you cut the benefits, then they'd have to actually like go perhaps pay taxes, buy their own food, support their own housing and they just can't do that. They would self deport by proxy. The first initial numbers from Doge was actually where you started to see some real, real scary results in some of the data processing for what is going on with criminal alien numbers. Here's Social Security numbers issued. See if you find a problem in some of this data.

[Doge Social Security Expert]

When we saw these numbers, we were like, what is this? In 21 you see 270,000 people goes all the way to 2.1 million and 24. These are non citizens that are getting Social Security numbers.

[Elon Musk]

Yeah. This is a mind blowing chart.

[Doge Social Security Expert]

Yeah. Just this. This literally blew us away. Like we went there to find fraud and we found this by accident. And this isn't political, by the way. My parents, Immigrants. Yeah. This country's been great to us. My brother and sister, all born in Spain. I'm pro legal immigration. This is not. This is not political. This is not political. This is about America and the future of America. And there are a lot of good people in the system that pointed this in this direction. I want to. I want to honor them right now that work in the government today who took risks to show us these numbers and tell us what's going on. So I want to stop for a minute. I want to. I want to honor those people. People today, very good people.

[Benny Johnson]

Very good people.

[Doge Social Security Expert]

I have been from D.C. to Social Security offices to the border to track this down. And very good people have helped us along the way. I want to thank them.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Yeah.

[Doge Social Security Expert]

This number, what this is, is when you come in the country, if you're any legal, there's a couple ways to come in. You come in through a port of entry and you can tell them you're afraid you'll get. They'll give you an asylum. Asylum case. You get an interview, then you get in. That's one way to do it. Another way to do it is to just go to the border. Literally. This happened. I talked to border patrol myself. Elon was there too. I went to Laredo and I went to Bronzeville. Elon went to Eagle Pass. You walk up to border patrol officer and you tell them you want to come in. They have a couple of choices. They could charge you with a misdemeanor or a felony under 1325, or they can make it an administrative offense like a parking ticket. Basically. They were told to do that. Make an administrative offense under the last administration. And then you go walk across the border. They do what's called a release from your own recognizance. And they give you an NTA notice to appear, which to appear to judge. The wait times on judges are like average six years. Look at Gro. You'll see it on immigration judges benefit programs. And then what was really, really disturbing us was why? We're asking ourselves why? And so we actually just took a sample and looked at voter registration records. And we found people here registered.

[Benny Johnson]

Probably could find a better clip there, Alex. But nonetheless, the data is still readily available. Just this cursory dive into the data shows 1.3 million criminal aliens already on Medicaid, 5.5 million criminal aliens receiving benefits. An enormous number of them on voter records registered to vote and voting. They actually did vote. And of course, we have voluminous examples of criminal aliens voting in our elections. And then one of them mysteriously running right back to China. A Communist party member voting for Kamala Harris and then running back to China, was arrested, was charged by the doj, and then was able to sneak out of the country. Truly disturbing. The voter fraud is absolutely terrible. You've been deceived, robbed, extorted, and blackmailed. It cannot be overstated how much Democrats depend on criminal aliens, a fake population of America, a fraudulent and illegal and criminal population of America to maintain power. And they do it in three ways. One, Congressional reapportionment. The way that the census is counted is you count the number of persons. You don't ask their immigration status.

[Doge Social Security Expert]

You.

[Benny Johnson]

You count how many people live in each district. So it is incumbent on Democrats to pack as many criminal aliens into their districts as possible. But that's hard because they're human beings. And so you have to have magnets. You have to have incentives to bring them in. If you don't have the incentives to bring them in, then they'll go somewhere else. This is why here more than 41,000 voters. Registrations don't match driver's ID database. State data shows in Wisconsin. 41,000 in Wisconsin. Isn't Wisconsin a swing state? Didn't Trump win Wisconsin with less than 41,000 votes? This is insane. Did you hear what Kristi Noem said? 6,000 illegals on the terrorist watch list were given Social Security numbers. Six thousand terrorists are here getting welfare and Medicaid and EBT and SNAP and then voting.

[Doge Social Security Expert]

What?

[Benny Johnson]

Trump win by how many votes? Tell me.

[Elon Musk]

What?

[Benny Johnson]

I can't. Yeah, okay, so that's less than 40,000. So there's 40,000 criminal alien voters, or at the very least, voter registrations that don't match driver's license and ID database in Wisconsin. We lost a Senate seat in Wisconsin by like 10 votes. How many of them were illegals? The level of fraud that is being committed right now in our nation by Democrats based on criminal alien populations is the single most existential threat to our republic. You cannot have a representative democracy if the people that are voting in your democracy are not citizens of our nation. You cannot have social nets that are there for the protection of American citizens if they are being so wholly and roundly abused as to entice criminals to certain districts and certain localities in order to rig the electoral slate. And you cannot have free and fair elections if you have even a single illegal vote. A single illegal vote. So the Chinese, let's take like the easy top line example. Get me the Chinese kid. The Chinese kid that votes in Michigan for Kamala Harris canceled your vote. Are you watching from Michigan right now? Did you vote for Trump? Do you know that a dirty communist from China who fled then was able to flee back to China when he was charged by the DOJ for illegal voting was allowed to cast a vote for Kamala Harris? Here's the DOJ filing. That person canceled your vote. You work here. You live here. You pay your taxes. You work your fingers to the bone. Your neck is snapping, your neck is breaking. You just want to be able to vote for Trump. You live in Michigan. You're in a swing state. Things have gotten tougher and rougher. You have kids, you're bought into the system. You pay a mortgage, you file your W2s with the IRS.

[Jeff Van Drew]

You.

[Benny Johnson]

You're just trying to grind out a life for your children. It's back breaking. It's hard work. Two weeks of vacation a year. And you vote for Trump because you're pissed. And some little Chinese kid who's a, who's a member of the Communist Party is able to vote and cancel your vote. His vote counted the same as yours. Are you off? He canceled your vote. Here's his photo. I think he's a member of the Communist Chinese Party. He was able to flee the country on a secret visa before his court date. Should have been in jail for 10 years for voter fraud. His vote canceled your vote. This communist canceled your vote. Now take that out in mass at scale in blue states and red states. It happens in red states. It happens in every state. Pull up the heritage voter fraud map, please. Every single state in the Union, in every single state in America, including every single blue state, currently has active voter fraud pending cases for every election. Many of these states, you can see Minnesota here. That's because of the Somali population. That's just a matter of fact. There's so much voter fraud that happens in Minneapolis. I would argue that Minnesota is probably a red state. At scale voter fraud in Illinois, North Carolina, another hotbed of it, Texas. Huge illegal alien population in Texas because they want to flip Texas purple. It happens in every state in America. These are just the people you catch. How many criminal aliens voted in California. It's illegal to Ask people their, their voter ID in California. It's illegal. You're not allowed to do it. How many criminal aliens voted? I can show you. See it. You want to see it? Check this out. SNAP benefits sent to California. 2019, it was 5 million, 5 billion, sorry dollars. In 2020, it was $7 billion. I'm going to round up. So in 2019, it was 6 billion, 5, 9, 7, 7. In 2020, it was 8,007,822. And in 2021, it skyrocketed to $11.2 billion. Okay, so it doubled. It doubled in three years. It doubles. What is that? That's California bringing in millions of new residents. Because the data makes no sense. The data makes zero sense. This is California bringing in millions of new residents. What is that exactly? Democrats call them newcomers. What is that? These are criminal aliens that are brought magnetically to California because they can vote. They can apply for these benefits without anybody questioning them. And they have full protection of the state. An obscenity. Fiscal year 21 numbers on newly established SNAP recipients claim make California look like it's living in an alternative universe. Look at this. A quarter of a million new SNAP recipient claims in California alone. That's in one year. And no fraud claims. California is lavishing criminal aliens with goodies. But if you, you know, look again. If you don't give them good, if you can't, they can't survive. You can't come here from Somalia and survive if you don't speak the language. You have no work permit. You have no infrastructure. There are no family units supporting you. You have nothing. You can't, you can't make it here. You need to have government subsistence. You must have it. Go back, climb. Go to the, go to the explosion of SNAP benefits under the Biden administration. There you go. Thank you. And you know what? If you chart the actual spending on snap, you'll find that it goes hand in glove. With what? The open border. You'll find that it goes hand in glove. Swipe over, please. Climb with this. A one to one tracking. Democrats are paying criminal aliens to move to their state, using your tax dollars to do it, and using a fraudulent system through the states to funnel payments to illegals to stay there so that they can get extra numbers in the census and also get illegal votes. There are 21 states that are refusing to send their SNAP data to the usda. The USDA is asking like, you need to send us all of your information. Who's receiving federal benefits Now? My question is very simple. Why would the Federal government give any of these benefits to any of these states. And of course, you'll see here, they're all blue states. There's not a single red state among them. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota. Michigan is a red state, but it's run by Democrats. Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, also red state, but run by Democrats. Vermont, Virginia, and Washington D.C. of course. Why wouldn't Washington D.C. be sending that? I mean, that's like a federal city. Trump's technically in charge of Washington D.C. well, Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, was on explaining why this is happening, saying that they have created fraudulent incentives using federal tax dollars in order to keep criminal aliens in their state, to use magnets to bring criminal aliens to their state.

[Doge USDA Official]

Go day. Day one of USDA February 13th is we sent letters to every governor in America being very clear that no illegal aliens can use SNAP.000. We asked every state for the first time in history, and this was in February, to send us their data and let us, with doge and a war room, actually start going through this data to better understand how this explosion of SNAP benefits happened under Joe Biden. We increased almost 40% on this program in just a couple of years under the Biden administration. Of course, we know they were trying to buy the election, but that's a conversation for another time. And since we have asked for that data, 29 states have complied. Complied, of course, almost all the red states, couple of the, you know, a couple blue states too. But in that data, and I haven't talked about this yet publicly, in that data, we have found we've studied about $100 billion in spend. We have found thousands and thousands of illegal use of the EBT card. We have been moving people off of snap. We've got almost 700,000 people. I think we've moved off just since the President took office, we've arrested about 118 people. So this has been ongoing. But Rachel, to your point, what this conversation has allowed is a national spotlight on a broken and corrupt program. We found one guy in six different states getting a benefit. We found about 5,000 people that are dead who are still getting benefits. Like it is time to drastically reform this program so that we can make sure that those who are truly needy, truly vulnerable are getting what they need and the rest of the corruption goes away and we can serve the American taxpayer.

[Benny Johnson]

Stephen Miller Democrats are currently suing the administration with the full support of Democratic judges to demand no citizenship checks on food stamps, no Citizen checks on Medicaid. No citizen checks on voting. Do you understand? They've created a fake country. This isn't the country that you look at today. The blue states that you look at today, the map right here, that's not actually your country. It is so much redder than that. You are so much more in the majority. Democrats have cheated and rigged the system with goodies paid for by you with a gun to your head, proverbially from the irs. Pay your taxes or else you go to prison. And we pay our taxes so that Democrats can take that tax money, lie to the federal government, break the law, hand that money over to a Guatemalan, a Haitian, a Nicaraguan, an Afghani. I don't know, I don't care. Somebody who doesn't belong here. Somebody who's not an American. These benefits are not intended for anyone other than an American. EBT, SNAP, welfare, housing, Section 8, Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, a full suite of social safety nets being abused. For what reason? That criminal alien, that family makes another family in their congressional district. Nobody wants to live in these hellscape districts. Nobody wants to live there. They all leave. That means that when the census comes around, those states lose power. Get me the census map, please, from the ap. Those states lose power if they don't have enough people in them. Now, Democrats are already looking at a historic loss of Electoral College votes, something that will put the presidency, I think, out of reach for a very long time. California and New York are set to lose three or four seats each. States like Texas and Florida are set to gain seats three or four each. And they're looking at a tough map. You're going to have a very, very. You're going to have a lot of really bad election nights for Democrats. They have to try and get through 2028. They have to. They have to desperately try and rig things in 2028. That's their only hope. Because after that, it's doomsday. That's what the projections show. And those projections might even be low. I want the Electoral College map, please, from the ap. Thank you. It's an extra benefit. No, I want the ones that have projections for 2030 after the census, please. It's a extra benefit if those criminal aliens are also voting in elections. If they have fake Social Security numbers or real Social Security numbers that they all share and then they are able to vote for Democrats, are able to vote themselves goodies out of our treasury as they're here illegally. Democrats have to maintain as much of the system as possible because Doom awaits them. This is what doom looks like for Democrats. This is not going to be pretty after the next census counts. What happens has happened in blue states. There is a crisis brewing. And after Americans start realizing what's been happening to their benefits, why the nation is actually bankrupt. The nation is bankrupt because of this. Listen to this. Look at that. Look at these. Look at that motherfucker. Look at these grocery carts filled and packed to the brim with some of the most. They're like la. They're laughing and bragging in your face. They're rubbing it in your face. Someone was, I mean, jokes on them because these are some of the most toxic and poisonous food products out there. How these are available on snap, I don't know. But your average Americans are starting to see this and say, well, hold up. I worked for 36 straight years paying into the system and I get 800 bucks a month. Do you think these carts are $800? No, these are thousands and thousands of dollars of groceries. You never see anybody who's paying for their groceries walking out with carts like this.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Never.

[Benny Johnson]

You never see that. And Americans are starting to take note.

[Jeff Van Drew]

In front of the Social Security office.

[Benny Johnson]

Trying to figure out why I only.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Get $876 a month on Social Security.

[Doge USDA Official]

After working 36 years.

[Jeff Van Drew]

And 10 years off and on, but 36 years straight.

[Doge USDA Official]

And raising five kids, and now I.

[Benny Johnson]

Get $876 a month.

[Jeff Van Drew]

What is that?

[Benny Johnson]

To be continued. What is that exactly? Let me explain. Democrats have been using these systems to pay off their voters and to f over and screw over people like that lady. People who actually pay in the system, people at work. This has been a massive handout for votes in order to keep people like this happy for it's like generations, you.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Know what I'm saying?

[Benny Johnson]

I get my shit on the first. You know, I'm, I'm, I'm first of the month around this, but it's the second and I just went to go.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Peace.

[Benny Johnson]

And I'm like, you know, maybe they would have gave a little sprinkle, sprinkle.

[Jeff Van Drew]

My bad.

[Benny Johnson]

Took my ass to this heb that they just built over here in Rock, Rockwall or whatever, by my house. First of all, that was packed as hell. Beautiful store, real nice in there, you know, deals out the ass. But I couldn't indulge because I ain't got no yams. I just spent cash money on five items. So let me, let me translate here, please, because translation is necessary. This individual is explaining that she has to pay for her own beauty supplies with her own money and is upset about it and is griping because the government didn't put money in her card as she sits in what looks like a new car with very with expensive hair products. Did you know that all chips and fries used to be cooked in beef tallow up until about the 1990s when big corporations switched up to cheap processed seed oils that taste literally like motor oil and include some of the same stuff. I mean, it's really bad. And you can taste the difference, man. And once you taste it, you'll never go back. Today, seed oils make up to 20% of the average American daily calories. It's gross, it's bad for you, it's bad for inflammation, it's bad for your health. That's why we eat masa chips inside of the Johnson household. Masa chips is dedicated to doing something about our addiction to seed oils. They're a natural chip that is delicious because they just use organic corn, sea salt, and 100% grass fed beef tallow. These chips don't only avoid all the bad stuff. They taste incredible and they're tastier. You can eat more of them. You can eat more of them. You don't feel bloated or sluggish or crashed or non energetic. Afterwards, you feel satisfied and light, like you've actually eaten something all natural. My favorite flavor of masa chips is their spicy masa chip, ladies and gentlemen. Or for dessert, they have a churro chip that is also very delicious. Got a bit of a sweet tooth, so give Masa a try. Go to masachips.com and use the code BENNY for 25% off your first order. That's masachips.com BENNY. Use the code BETTY for 25% off your 1st order. And if you don't feel like ordering online, starting this month, Masa is available nationwide at your local sprouts supermarket. Stop by and pick up a bag before they're gone. Like some braids, nice looking clothes. And clearly hasn't missed a meal in a very long time. She had to use $20 of her own money to actually buy a beauty product. I still got mother effing bills to pay. She says, I'm not trying to spend that on food. I'm supposed to be getting food stamps. Benny, you know, they're like people with. They were like people with children on food stamps. Okay, you should chill out. All right. You know that only 28% of SNAP households earned any income at all. So 72% of SNAP households decided they just Refused to work. They're not going to work. Only 34% of SNAP households had children. So again, you have 70% of SNAP households that have no kids. They're just here to freeload, to provide nothing, do nothing, sit around, smoke weed, play video games and sit in their cars and make TikToks complain about how they have to spend their own money for the first time in their lives. These are not people struggling to feed their families. It's a voter bank. It's a voter bank for Democrats. People are sending videos of totally empty Walmarts and totally packed, totally stocked shelves. This is making another massive point that these programs are actually just massive government handouts to big food, big retail to make some of the most ultra processed and unhealthy foods imaginable and get them to fly off the shelves into packed shopping carts for people like this. Here's a special clip out of New Mexico. New Mexico, a state that refuses to give the federal government their SNAP data. A woman complains that she's been on food stamps for 30 years. Here we go. The first thing I did was grab my phone and call and when I heard zero dollars, my chest went into my throat.

[Maggie Aragon]

Maggie Aragon has been a SNAP recipient.

[Benny Johnson]

For more than three decades.

[Maggie Aragon]

Even with these benefits, she says she also relies on food banks to get enough food.

[Benny Johnson]

I have depended on those benefits since the 1990s and it's detrimental to my life if I don't get them. There are more than 460,000 New Mexicans using SNAP benefits tonight, some of them.

[Maggie Aragon]

Telling us they don't have those right now. Friday, Governor Michelle Irhan Grisham announced $30.

[Benny Johnson]

Million in state funds would be used to supply snap users starting November 1st.

[Doge USDA Official]

We're going to choose feeding families over politics into Mexico. We're going to do that right now.

[Benny Johnson]

That woman is able bodied enough to stand and do an interview, go to the store, complain, but she's not able bodied enough to go get a job when you have like a massive workforce shortage in America. We don't have a workforce shortage in America. We have a willingness to work shortage in America because we create programs that incentivize fatherlessness, broken homes, lazy bastards.

[Doge Social Security Expert]

That.

[Benny Johnson]

Want to pay nothing into the system and get their entire lives, their houses, their full grocery carts paid for. And we allow it. There's no such thing as a worker shortage in America. It's not biblical. It's the opposite of biblical. Proverbs say that if you don't work, you don't eat this. If this keeps going on they're going to riot. What I find is particularly fascinating about this is that rioting is a very. It's right. You have to be very able bodied to go flip tables and go raid shelves and stuff. You have to be really. You have to have some physical capacity, man. You really do. You got to be. You got a good physical shape, right? It's pretty exhausting. Haven't tried it myself, but I've seen the videos. You know, you can tell if you're able bodied enough to steal and to riot. Aren't you able bodied enough to go work? Where the hell are the work requirements here? Again, the entire program needs to be halted. The federal government needs to change standards and everyone needs to be forced to reapply here. This is a societal question and it's also a moral question. You shouldn't make a country where people don't have to work and they can have their entire lives paid for by those who do. I am sick of spending half of my wages on people that refuse to work. Not that they can't work. Refuse to work and then rub it in my face. Strangely, there's man named John Fetterman in the United States Senate who's allegedly a Democrat from Pennsylvania saying exactly this and then saying that Democrats are the actual problem here in this government shutdown. Here we go.

[Jeff Van Drew]

I'm deeply, deeply distressing to know that.

[Benny Johnson]

42 million Americans are going to lose their SNAP benefits. And now that's one of the big reasons why I refused to shutting our government down. And again, I feel like the Democrats.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Really need to own the shutdown.

[Benny Johnson]

Democrats own the shutdown, huh? 59% of households headed by illegal immigrants receive welfare. 59% wild. Ladies and gentlemen. What is that? How can we continue? I. You can't. You can't. Ladies and gentlemen, just a moment. We're going to be joined by somebody who can really speak pretty authoritatively on this issue and perhaps what changes need to be made. But first, an item that is not available on EBT or snap120life. Something that I use on a daily basis to assist in my high blood pressure. Something that I have after doing shows like this. High blood pressure is a massive problem in this country. It's something that doesn't just affect me, it affects about half of Americans. And well, in this business you got to make sure that you're managing it, but managing it not with a bunch of like pharmaceutical cocktails, but with actual, all natural raw ingredients. That is why I drink 120 life and that's why it's trusted among healthcare professionals. For a limited time, try 120 Life and save 20% off. Use the code BENNY at checkout for 120Life.com. 120-Life offers a risk free trial and a full refund. If you don't see lower numbers in two weeks, go to 1-20-L I F E.com and use the code B E N N Y Penny to save 20%. Not to lose, but your high blood pressure has really been helpful for me. The drink is also very delicious. All right, ladies and gentlemen, as, yeah, this, this entire thing pisses me off so very much. Hogan Gidley is a Republican strategist and somebody who worked for President Trump, works very closely, obviously with Republican leadership all across Washington, D.C. i feel like it's time to actually get something done on this. Hogan joins us live now. So Democrats are able to just hide the SNAP benefits from the federal government and get away with it. Is that true, Hogan?

[Hogan Gidley]

I mean, the proof would suggest that's absolutely accurate. And I think one of the things you're hitting on here is why Americans are so angry. These programs are targeted. They're for specific things to help people. It's snap. It's supplemental. It's the first word in the acronym. And these people have been using it for decades now. And we're starting to see the, the silver lining being a complete audit and evaluation of these programs that under Democrat control have been allowed to fleece the American people for hundreds of millions of dollars. Billions of dollars. We're close to a trillion since. It's over a trillion since its inception. And now people are going, wait a minute. Much like the Medicaid conversation we had in the one big beautiful bill debate, when you take people off of the program that don't deserve to be on there, who aren't citizens of this country or who, as you just point out, can work and refuse to. They are cheating the system. They are taking it away from Americans who need it and deserve it. That's what this whole thing has been about. And you're starting to see the spotlight shine on the, the malfeasance, the, the, the, the, the targeted abuse of this program. And there's only one party to blame. Excuse me. Both parties are to blame, but one party is going to step up and fix it, and that's the Republicans.

[Benny Johnson]

Okay, here we go. Here's a graph right here. Households headed by illegal immigrants have an extremely high rate of welfare use. What's going on here, Hogan? This makes me enraged. So there's Just, no, there's absolutely no test here as to whether you are an American citizen to receive. I mean, this is as egregious as voting. So listen, if there are. If there's 60% of criminal alien households getting welfare from the taxpayers, then you have to assume that the numbers are even higher for the number of illegal alien households voting, because it's actually easier to just go vote, and especially in states with no voter id, than it would be to apply for welfare benefits.

[Hogan Gidley]

Of course, and we see this rampant fraud, waste and abuse across the government, whether it be Social Security, whether it be healthcare, whether it be snap, all these things now are starting to be, you know, exposed. You're seeing the light shine upon all of these abuses in the system, and you're wondering, wait, we're spending this much money that American citizens make, that American citizens give to the government, to people who do not need this or deserve it? This is a significant and serious problem that has been going on now. I mean, expanded under FDR in the 60s. It just exploded, of course, and more people got on the program. But you see this across government now. If you want to allow states to handle some of this, if you want to let churches and synagogues and other religious entities kind of step up and play a more significant part, which they should, of course, we wouldn't be having this conversation, but as you know, the left thrives on government because government is their God. And so whatever power they can give to the government, regardless of who it hurts, if you're an American citizen, they'll do it because they want to keep political power over the people, keep them smashed down, keep them, you know, dependent upon the government when they don't need to be, and sure, don't deserve to be. Not to mention, the scab you're picking here is how many people from other nations are in this country taking American benefits being paid for by American taxpayers in an American nutrition assistance program when they're not American. It is absolutely egregious.

[Benny Johnson]

Doesn't it. I mean, doesn't it obviously befall Republican leaders to immediately fix this? Isn't this the single greatest insult to those who buy into the system? Why would anybody invest here? Like I. Like I'm talking on behalf of all the young listeners and all the young people that come up to me at these events, Hogan, and they, you know, you and I were both at the JD Vance event at Ole Miss. This is your alma mater, correct. And there's all these young people coming up to me and like, why the hell would they Ever buy into the system? Why would these people buy a house? Why would they get a job? Why would they pay their taxes if they. If some Haitians are just going to be able to, like, come over and live much more royally than them? You can get lobster and caviar on food stamps. We've covered this. You can get truffles. You can. You can live like a king off food stamps. And no, you. Nobody and your entire life is paid for. Your rent, your medical care. Like, that's how you create generational nihilism, actually, is. People see that. They see what happened in Springfield, Ohio, and they say, this is a. This is a broken culture. Might as well like black pill.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Yeah.

[Hogan Gidley]

But I have to say, much like the Southern border where democrats let in 10 to 20, 30 million people illegally and unlawfully, much like crime rampant in our city streets, much like the economy, we're paying more for gas and for groceries. Republicans came in and fixed it all. Don't worry, we got you. The same thing applies here. They allowed the system to explode. They allow people to abuse it to the tune, as I said, of hundreds of billions of dollars, trillions over the life of the program. Don't worry, we'll step in and fix it. But the first thing you have to do is expose it. And right now, it's a messaging war with people saying, I'm going to die without it, as opposed to the conversation being, okay, fair. But what do you need? What do you deserve? And are you even legally allowed to have it? And as you just said, you don't need an ID to vote. You don't need IDs to get all of these government programs. You don't need an ID to get Medicare, Medicaid, but you need not eat by liquor. Quite confusing, to say the least, and hypocritical. So all these things that have failed in the past, it's like this administration has come along, and with Trump now with the wind in his sails, he is moving quickly, going, all right, the politics be damned. I want to fix this for generations to come. And even though the first wave of this is going to be maligned by the media, mocked and derided, the fact is, eventually this is going to right the ship. And the people who needn't deserve it are going to get it. And those who are abusing the system, both Americans and non Americans, are done. We're not dealing with that anymore. That's going to take some significant guts. And I'll tell you, the one man who has it, has them, is Donald Trump.

[Benny Johnson]

So I think, yeah, I think you can do like a step by step process. So I think, like, you start step one as you take all the criminal aliens off of all welfare benefits. It's illegal, right? Like this is. You have to be an American citizen to get these benefits. Is that correct, Hogan?

[Hogan Gidley]

Yeah, but, yeah, but Democrats don't want to do that. You see, this is, this is the.

[Benny Johnson]

This is the federal dollars and we control the federal government. So this seems like a pretty obvious.

[Hogan Gidley]

No, I understand.

[Jeff Van Drew]

We will.

[Hogan Gidley]

We're working.

[Benny Johnson]

Ladies and gentlemen, we got a. We got a very cold in Washington, D.C. right now. We got a frozen Hogan. We hope that Hogan can unfreeze and. And if that is the case, then we'll continue the interview, ladies and gentlemen. Nonetheless, why not jump in and tell you about Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile, obviously the cell phone service and carrier of our show. A show that relies heavily on connectivity and the ability to make sure that we lock and load. This is happening a lot, Klein. Like, what is going on here? Like, this is happening, like, every couple of guests. I don't. It makes me very frustrated. Producers. We're gonna have, like. There's gotta be, like, a way to figure this one out. Gotta contact, like, I don't know, is it Streamyard? Like, we have to talk through it anyway, the point is that we are at least connected. We use Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is the only conservative Christian wireless provider. Over 12 years, they've stood for freedom, free speech and conservative Christian values. You'll enjoy the exact same or better service on Patriot Mobile. Make the switch today. Go to patriotmobile.com Benny or call 972 Patriot. Use promo code BENNY for a free month of service. Make the switch today patriotmobile.com Benny or Call 972 Patriot. Do we have Hogan back? All right. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have Jeff Van Drew to talk to us about the election in New Jersey, which is just hours away. We have Jack Citarelli on the show last week and Jack is making waves. Jeff Van Drew is a famous member of Congress who actually switched parties in New Jersey. There's nobody better to speak on this issue. And he joins us live. Thank you, Congressman. We look forward to speaking with you about the race in New Jersey in just a moment. Hogan. Gidley, we lost him. And so if you don't mind, I'd just like to continue the conversation quickly about welfare benefits for criminal aliens is obviously welfare fraud for American citizens as well. But at the very least, would you be in favor of Congress ensuring that none of the the treasure of the American people gets fed it out to criminal aliens as goodies to vote for Democrats and to move to Democrat districts.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Of course I would be in favor of that and so would the very vast majority of Americans. I mean, here's the deal. When we're wasting money like that, we're hurting our own American people, whether they are legal immigrants or whether they are people that have been here for 10 generations. The point is it's wrong, it's breaking the law. And even with the Medicaid argument, you know, when I spoke to President Trump a number of times about Medicaid and I've spoken to him about the issues we're talking about today too, and it's working with a scalpel. So should we just end all snap? No. You know, a lot of our voters, we are a new Republican Party conservative and populist at the same time, caring about working people. And people do hit bumps in the road now and then, but it's not to mean, meant to be a permanent subsidy. It means that you're subsid, you're helped for a little while, you get back on your feet, you're working and then things return to normal. We've made it a way of life, number one. Number two, we're giving it to people illegally. And that was the deal with Medicaid. Think about they still, you know, the left likes to say that we cut Medicaid, that we took millions off. It's so inaccurate what they say. It hasn't even started yet, number one. Number two, no, we're still taking care of the seniors, still taking care of the disabled, still taking care of, of people that have certain illnesses and diseases and so forth. We're helping people, we're doing what Medicaid should do. But what we're not doing is saying that you can be some 25 year old healthy guy that's just drinking beer and doing drugs all day and get Medicaid, that's wrong. And by the way, when they say how harsh and mean we were, think about this, Benny. All that we said was if you are receiving Medicaid and you're able bodied and healthy, you either have to work 20 hours a week. Man, my whole life I worked a lot more than 20 hours a week. Or you've got to make sure that you are trying to increase your education, get your ged, get your college, whatever it is, online, improve that you're doing or volunteer for 20 hours a week for any kind of a good charity. I mean, you can pet dogs at the Humane Society, for God's sake. We couldn't have been easier about it. And we're accused of being draconian and horrible. No, we're trying to hurt. Help. We're trying to help American people, good working, decent people who are getting ripped off.

[Benny Johnson]

Yeah, I mean, I think that you are looking at a 9010, maybe a 95.5 issue if Republicans just said, yeah, we're just going to stop putting criminal aliens into the United States treasury to plunder it. I just like the, you know, because there's seniors out there that are like, wait a second. So there's some Haitian with $20,000 on an EBT card and I get 800 bucks a month. I worked 40 years, I broke my neck and my back for this country. I bought in, I got a mortgage, I raised kids, I sent them to school and this is all I get. And somebody who's never been here, somebody who's not illegal, somebody who's a criminal sitting there living, you can get caviar, you can get lobster tails, you can get truffles on ebt. And a lot of them are. And they're rubbing it on our face. Congressman and TikTok. We've played a bunch of the Tiktoks this morning.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Something like, how good.

[Benny Johnson]

It's an insult.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Working decent Americans and retired people and seniors feel there really are older people that live only on Social Security and are doing their best and worked hard their whole life. Many of them served our military. There were good people. And then they look at this, they look at this, these new people coming in and not all of them, the people who are coming in legally are decent people. We're talking about a different group of people. They've been indicted or convicted at their country of origin or in the United States. Somewhere on the terror watch list, some were guilty of violent crime, committed violent crime. They hate America. They say, we don't like America, we hate it. Oh, but by the way, we're going to rip you off. We're going to take your food stamps, we're going to take your clothing, we're going to take your travel expenses. And yeah, you know what? Just for the hell of it, we're going to take some courses at a college and, and for those states like New Jersey that are sanctuary states, the state may very well be paying for it. Meanwhile, hardworking middle class people who are trying to support their kids and trying to do good things and send their kids to college the right way are getting more and more in debt. Come on, that's wrong.

[Benny Johnson]

Totally wrong. So what? So final question on this. But you've, you've, you've, you've been on both sides of the aisle. You know Congress very well. I don't know which term you're in, Congressman, but I'm in my seventh year, my fourth, seventh year, so that, you know, you know, spring chicken, you know the way around Congress. What would be your, what would be your solution here in order to tell the American people, especially young kids, that you're serious about fixing this problem? Because what you're gonna do here is you're going to black pill young kids, you're gonna make them nihilists. They're not gonna believe in the system. If it keeps running this way, people are just going to cash out and they're just going to say, I'm not going to buy a house, I'm not going to start a family, that the system's totally rigged against me. And I'm, you know, got to be honest with you. I'm like sick and tired of paying half my income to, to, to criminals who, I'm just talking the illegal aliens right here. And we can handle the American citizens. The American citizens that are committing fraud are totally separate and important conversation. But maybe like start with the first thing first. Like I'm, I am paying half my income away from my children, my American children, in order to fund illegals living lavishly who hate my country and hate me. What a sick system that is, Congressman. What should happen to fix it Now?

[Jeff Van Drew]

Number one, you're right. I want young people to love America. I know even in, you know, my political organization here in New Jersey, we've got so many new young people at our top. Tired of it. They're tired of these old ways. They're tired of these old liberals telling them what to do and that they've got to give up most of what they do in their life for people that don't deserve it. You're right, number one. Secondly, what do we do? We work with that scalpel. You know, I'm a dentist, so I like to use sometimes medical terminology. We work with that scalpel. Do we just completely remove snap? No, there are people that need it that are on it for a while and then do well in the world and move on. But do we qualify it if you're illegal? It has to be clear, number one, if you're getting snap, that you have to be able to prove your citizenship. Not a big deal, picture id, et cetera. That's why, by the way, the libs love trying to Say, yeah, anybody can get a driver's license because it's a form of id. They're trying to make that more difficult to do, but we can do that. There are various forms of presenting id. You're not legal. First of all, if you're not legal, you should be detained, go through due process and then deported, period. That's the answer to that. And then for everyone else, even if they don't go through that process, which they should, but again, if they're in places like New Jersey, they may not be. Sometimes we've got to make sure federally that we qualify what we give people. You have to be a legal American, a legal law abiding American. And we can do that. We did, you know, we did good work with Medicaid. The media doesn't speak about all that, you know, we did in Medicaid, in Congress, the House worked really hard on it. And again, we made sure that it was much better, that we weren't just giving it away. We need to do that with snap. We need that to do that with the aca. It's good. Again, we're populist, conservative Republicans. We do want to help our people, you know, and, and help them to move forward in life, but not to plunder and waste our money. And the most, the horrible part of it, you brought it out is that these people don't, the people we're given money to laugh at America, hate America, commit crimes in America and we give them stuff. There's no sane, there's no sane or insane country in the world that would do that.

[Benny Johnson]

Yes, it's totally debasing. It's actually a practice in humiliation and it's, it's self debasement and it's run. These are systems set up by people that really do not like Americans. They really don't like the native population of this country. They despise them. As the seasons shift into colder weather, blood pressure tends to rise due to vasoconstriction. That would be the narrowing of the blood vessels. And some people start to have increased salt cravings and less physical activity. This is super common where I come from in the Midwest when it's kind of gray in winter for like half the year. And this is why it's more important than ever to make sure that your blood pressure is under check. Blood pressure is a serious problem in America. Nearly one in two adults have high blood pressure, meaning there's a 50, 50 chance that you could be affected, get control of your blood pressure. Now. It's critical for Your health and longevity.

And you can see it in seniors getting, I don't know, a couple hundred bucks a month after paying into Social Security for 40 years. And again, like gang banger from Guatemalan, from Guatemala can go load up his ebt card for $30,000 and go sell it on the streets of, you know, Los Angeles. It's, it's, it's a perverse system. It needs to change. Be nice. It'd be really nice to just, just message, be really nice to just message that to people that we can like that Republicans care enough to go and change that. I know that that's working in New Jersey. I know that the people of New Jersey are saying, you know, we're sick and tired of having leaders that aren't from New Jersey. Mickey Sheryl isn't from New Jersey. They don't care about the rights of people of New Jersey. And I think that's why Jack Citarelli is looking pretty good in this election cycle. Can you give me an update, Congressman?

[Jeff Van Drew]

He is looking good and we're working hard on it. In fact, little update we decided today. President Trump and I are having a town meeting tonight at 7 o' clock and I hope a lot of folks from New Jersey will be listening to that. If he, if Jack just gets cheap. Let me say this. President Trump got the Most votes in the state of New Jersey of anybody who's ever run for office. That's an interesting fact that people don't know if Jack can just get two thirds or three quarters of that. And that's what we want to remind those Trump voters. They've got to vote and work for Jack Cittarelli. If they care about Donald Trump, if they care about me in Congress, they've got to do this. It's really important. And yes, he is doing well. It's looking good. And the reason it is, you pinned it right on the head. And, you know, it's very simple. We are sick and tired of it all. Sick and tired of open borders being a sanctuary state. And we're funding those open borders because in New Jersey, we'll help you with your clothing, your transportation, your housing, possibly education, whatever else it is. Murphy declared it a sanctuary state. They're tired of our square schools, the things that are being done to our schools, where kids are told and funding in New Jersey can be based on this, that these kids are told by administrators in the school they don't have to talk to their parents, that they can change their sex, their name and their pronoun. I spoke to a young man who's now in high school yesterday, just yesterday that he was talking about. He's now going to private school. But the school he was going to, they had a litter box in the back and there was a young kid using it. I mean, it's bizarre. How about biological men competing in women's sports? Murphy supported that. Mikey Sherrill supports that. It's wrong and it's degrading the women who've competed so hard. We've dashed the dreams and hopes of women who've competed in sports. I don't know. Do you want me to go on and on? I'll give you the list. The energy costs in New Jersey, it's gone up everywhere. Energy. We closed down six gas plants. We closed down a coal plant, closed down a nuclear plant, didn't replace it with anything. Tried to jam up wind turbines down everybody's throat. Industrial wind turbines. Nobody wanted it. I was fighting it for years. President Trump came in. We worked together. He did. It wouldn't happen without him. An executive order to stop it. But meanwhile, we wasted billions and billions. Not millions. Billions of dollars in subsidies to foreign corporations for wind turbines. We've had enough. We're sick and tired of it. I believe Jack Ciatarelli's got the answers. He gives the right answers. He's got the guts. He wants to do it. All he wants to be is governor of New Jersey. He's not looking for anything else. I believe he's going to win. We're going to do everything we can to help him to win.

[Benny Johnson]

We have the electoral map from 2024 right here with President Trump doing great, getting nearly 2, just. Just shy of 2 million votes to 20 to win here with Kamala Harris. And this no doubt includes perhaps some criminal aliens voting, illegal voting. We've been covering many stories of illegal voting in New Jersey. The Governor was bragging that he had illegals living in the governor's mansion in New Jersey. What an insane timeline. People are sick of this, right, Congressman?

[Jeff Van Drew]

They are sick of it. And I'm a little proud of that map that you have up there. I'm in the Second Congressional District. It's the largest district in the state of New Jersey. In fact, it's larger than the entire state of Delaware in my district. And if you look at that big, huge chunk of red, except for one county in southern New Jersey, that's ours, We've been getting increasingly more Republican for the very reasons you're talking about. This isn't limousine Republicans. These are, in fact, the billionaires and the limos. That's the Democrats. These are working people. They're construction people. They're people that are using their hands. They're people. And they're also professionals, but they're people who've worked for a living and just hate to see this happening in New Jersey. We can do this. I really believe we can do this, and we're going to push hard.

[Benny Johnson]

You said something, Congressman, in your first answer. You said that President Trump got the most votes of any Republican in the history of New Jersey. Is that correct? Did I hear that correctly?

[Jeff Van Drew]

Can you hear that correct? Correctly? Absolutely. I'm not sure he knows that I'm. I talk to him usually every week to 10 days, but I'm going to tonight, when we do this town telly, town hall meeting, I'm going to bring that up because I know he's going to love that most in any Republican candidate in the history of the state of New Jersey. That is correct.

[Benny Johnson]

Wow. So Jack's going to pull it off. What do you think?

[Jeff Van Drew]

I think he's gonna. I think he's gonna. I think election day is gonna be huge. You gotta know there's certain things Democrats love. They love vote by mail. They love it. I mean, even when they don't need it. They're not sick, they're not out of town. They're not anything but they vote by mail like crazy. So always, always, always, always in the vote by mail. It's not. It doesn't ever look as good for Republicans. I won by 17 points. 18 points. I was losing. Vote by mail, you don't count them. But the early voting on the machine and then election day. Election day is huge. This is going to be a big election day. I think it's cumin up. I think people are just cumulatively tired, like we said, sick and tired of it all. I didn't even give you the whole list, man. It just gets old. It's this government just. Here you go. 2035. Everybody's got, supposedly got to drive a gas or I mean an electric automobile. They were trying for a while. Murphy and Mikey Sherwin, all them, they were against gas stoves and gas hot water heaters and gas heater heat. I mean, who are that? Let the American people let New Jerseyans decide what kind of heat they want, what kind of automobile they want. If they want an electric car, great. I don't begrudge them that. That's fine. That's what America's about. Free choices. But don't jam it down our throats. They love to jam down your throat things that you don't want because they're the government. They're better than you, they're smarter than you. You're going to listen, you're obey, and you're going to pay for it. Sick and tired of it.

[Benny Johnson]

Sick and tired of it. I think people are sick and tired of Barack Obama, frankly, coming in, parachuting in for like just a second or two to berate and humiliate and bark at voters and tell them what to do. This dude's moment's over, man. Like, and people are, I think, starting to really see that there really was no magic there. It was just all manufactured. It's completely something that was a creation. Fagazi fugazi. It was put together by Hollywood in the corporate media. And you see that in some very pathetic Barack Obama moments, like when he sat there in Philadelphia trying to lecture black men about, you know, how they have to support Kamala, right, because she's insista. This is like a, like, it is one of the most remarkable and most humiliating clips I've ever seen. It was, it was not received well, frankly, by the population that Obama was speaking to young black men clearly in the results of the election. Obviously it backfired. But now Obama's in New Jersey and I'm wondering if this is going to backfire. And this is my final question to you, Congressman. Here's Jack Citarelli commenting on Barack Obama parachuting in New Jersey, which is kind of amazing because you'd assume that this is a blue state, right? Like, this shows real desperation from Democrats. Let's listen. Obama said you've been.

[Jeff Van Drew]

You're sucking up to Trump.

[Benny Johnson]

Who said that? President Obama.

[Doge Social Security Expert]

President who?

[Benny Johnson]

Yes, exactly. Your commentary, Congressman.

[Jeff Van Drew]

You know what I say about. Seriously. And you're right once again, man. This was a Hollywood production. When he ran, he had every major legacy media outlet, all the Hollywood stars. I mean, it literally was like a movie production. I mean, it was unbelievable. And so. And people wanted to try something new and different. So, yeah, folks voted for him. But then we found out where it led us. And you know what I say about him now? Now he doesn't quite have the Hollywood production around him all the time. He's a cranky, kind of a cranky, mean guy. I mean, who is he? So he's saying that if you happen to choose to be African American and be a conservative and vote for someone that he, Barack Obama, doesn't like, you're a bad man and you're letting down your race, your family, your country. How dare he say that again? That's what America's about. America's about choices and freedom. And he doesn't, you know. No, you got to be. What he's saying is you're black. You've got to vote Democrat. Even if the Democrats screw you, even if the Democrats don't do a good job for you, you've just got to vote the way. You know what I say? We need to earn the vote of all our communities, every community that's out there in this country do a better job, work harder for them and see that they, you know, that life gets better. And the thing I talked about a lot in the black communities in my district, are things really better over the last 20, 30, 40, 50 years? I mean, within, you know, one little town. I'll tell you a quick story. Atlantic City, New Jersey. Atlantic City, New Jersey, is predominantly African American. There are some other groups, many. We got Vietnamese, Bangladesh, all kinds of groups. And they were in my district. But I was talking to some black folks and they were saying to me they remembered they were older back, you know, in the 50s and 60s where there were hundreds of thriving black businesses in New Jersey and particularly in Atlantic City. Now, I'm not saying everything was perfect then, and there was prejudice and there were things that need to be fixed. There Always are. We're human. Even America, the greatest country on the earth, we still need to fix things. But there were all these business, there's none now. You know, we try to make a society that's dependent upon public housing, that's dependent upon snap. SNAP can be a really good thing and help people through tough times. It's not meant to be multi generational. It's not meant to be great grandparents, grandparents, parents, children. It's meant to be help you along and then you do good, you succeed, you get an education, you get into a trade, and you're doing it on your own. They have not been. The black community, in my opinion, sincerely, has not been served well. It's been a detriment to their families and to their economic growth. And I think that they're starting to realize and understand that. But how dare Obama say, oh, you've got to vote this way, otherwise you're, I wouldn't even say, you know, basically, but you're a useless human being. You're a bad man. You're. You're not true to your race, you're not true to your color. Come on, let people make a decision for themselves.

[Benny Johnson]

Yeah, it's crazy. You, I mean, I guess. Final question here, Congressman. Since you were a Democrat and since you know Barack Obama and President Trump, perhaps you could elucidate for us the differences between the two of them. You just said that Barack Obama is pretty nasty, mean, grumpy man. Is that so? Is, is that being played out here?

[Jeff Van Drew]

And I didn't know him well, but I mean, I've met him, obviously, and was at the convention and all, and then, you know, I was already starting to have doubts. Remember, I was always a conservative Democrat. There used to be Democrats believed in helping people, believed in doing the right thing. But were conservatives, they love their country. Here's the deal. The difference between President Donald Trump and Barack Obama. So many differences. I could spend an hour with you, but it all comes down to this. Donald Trump loves America. Donald Trump believes in Americanism. He believes. Donald Trump believes in American exceptionalism. Barack Obama believes in mediocrity and globalism. He believes, and so do many, many of the Democrats. Now, they don't love this, this feeling of my God, America is a gift from God, the greatest country ever on the face of the earth. Nah, to them, America is the same, same as everybody else. They want us to be more like Europe. They want us to have that mediocrity. They don't want people to aspire to greatness and individuality. It's a really significant difference. And to be very serious for a moment, we're at a crossroads, not only in our state of New Jersey, but in the country, so importantly, in the United States of America. Some people said, gee, when Trump got elected and we got a Republican Congress, we're out of the woods. No, we are not. We're at knife's edge. We're just starting to peek into the woods, get our toe into the woods. They're so deep, so thick. If we're not careful, we're not careful, we can lose America. It's a big deal. We have to defy history here, which always says after a few hundred years that great countries fall and diminish. And America is such a great country and so unique. I don't want to see that. You don't want to see that happen?

[Benny Johnson]

No, no, we absolutely do not. We just thank you for your bravery, temerity, for switching, for. For following your constituents and the will of the people that you actually represent, which is amazing. The legal residents of New Jersey, and for making that bold switch, especially at a time when it was really quite politically fraught. I think that the Democratic Party has been weakened severely from an institutional and regulatory and cultural level even since you made your switch. And they were very angry at you then.

[Jeff Van Drew]

May I say one thing, just a little interesting factoid. The only person in the history of Congress that many. There's a few people that have switched over the years, on and off through the decades and century, but the only person that ever went from the majority party at the time to the minority party. And I did. I did that knowing full well what I did, but it's how strongly I felt, you know, in my heart and soul about it. I really do.

[Benny Johnson]

I'm a believer. The great Congressman Jeff Andrew from New Jersey, proudly representing his sweet boating culture, as you can see here in the top of his X profile. You should follow Jeff Van Drew. He's got tens of thousands of followers here on X and you should be one of them. He's just one of these straight shooters who is, well, the rarest quality in all of Washington. Actual actually brave. And he listens to his constituents. That is the rarest thing you'll find in D.C. jeff Andrew. Is it God. God. Godspeed, Congressman. Here's hoping for a great election night.

[Jeff Van Drew]

You're not kidding. We are. It's going to be a good night. Thank you for the work you do in bringing the truth out to all the people.

[Benny Johnson]

God bless you, sir.

[Jeff Van Drew]

Thank you.

[Benny Johnson]

Oh, man. I gotta tell you we've pivoted back to what Elon Musk has said about the SNAP benefits and the welfare fraud that is happening at scale in our nation. Elon Musk hopping on board a Joe Rogan podcast that dropped on Halloween three hours, just randomly, but Elon Musk laying it out beautifully. Sorry for all my ranting and raving this morning. I do get quite upset about this because I view, I view this as a civilizational survival question. You can't survive if you don't incentivize family creation and more Americans to have babies. If you don't say that the American dream is something you should buy into, why would anybody do it? Here's Elon Musk on that question.

[Elon Musk]

Very important fact that is actually not disputed by either side, which is that when we do the census in the United States, the census, the way the census works for apportionment of congressional seats and Electoral college votes for the president is by number of persons in a state, not number of citizens. It's number of people. So you could literally be a tourist and you will count.

[Benny Johnson]

Now, how do they do the census when they do that? Do they, is it, do they ask people, do they knock on doors? Do they have them fill out forms?

[Elon Musk]

Yeah, I think they mail out census forms and knock on doors. But the way the law reads right now is that if you are a human with a pulse, then you count in the census for allocating congressional seats and presidential votes, right? So you so electoral college, everything. It doesn't matter whether you hear legally, illegally, if you're a human with a pulse, you count for congressional apportionment. So that means that the more people, the more illegals that California and New York can import by the time the census happens in 2030, the more congressional seats they will have and the more electoral, the more presidential electoral college votes they will have. So they're trying to get as many illegals in as possible ahead of the census.

[Benny Johnson]

Sorry, guys. Here we go. I needed to talk to Klein about something very, very special that we have for you right here. A box that I have just opened. And we will do an official unboxing on the program for something that I think will bring you great holiday delights this Christmas season and great holiday cheer. We have something very special and historic for you. And we are ready to show you for the first time ever, ladies and gentlemen, something we've been cooking up and working on. So we're excited about it. I muted myself so that the client and I could coordinate this in a, in a Quick second while that clip played. Play me the Doge expert, please. That said that this is something that they found. So that we played you a Doge clip. Alex, just make sure that it's. Make sure that Klein's gonna play the right clip here. It's the expert that was on stage talking with Elon Musk, but I'm not sure he was like really making his point sharp enough. Alex has found another clip of this individual. Yes, on Fox. This is the man who's in charge of Doge Social Security. Doge and talking about what the, the horrors that they found once they actually got to D.C. and got power. Let's go. That's a jaw dropping number. Where did all those people come from?

[Doge Social Security Expert]

Well, it's. It made my jaw drop too when I saw it. You know, we were in Social Security looking for fraud, waste and abuse. And to do that we actually looked at the enumeration system, the system by which people get numbers in America. And we found that there were just about five plus million of them that came to the country as illegals were giving various forms of parole or allowed in the country. And they got through an automatic system so security numbers, so they get into to our benefit systems. And we tracked that through and found that they were on the benefit programs. And just because we were curious, we then looked to see if they were on the voter rolls. And we found in a handful of cooperative states that there were thousands of them on the voter rolls and that many of them had voted.

[Benny Johnson]

How many of your votes were canceled out by criminal aliens that are walking through grocery stores like this with thousands of dollars of free groceries? It's enough to make your blood boil. This entire system needs to be shut down. All of SNAP needs to be shut down today. It needs to be shut down permanently and force people to reapply under new rules. Rule number one, you are not allowed to get any welfare benefits if you are not an American citizen, period. Fifth, real prison time for any criminal alien or any state agency or any state administrator that is found to be using the taxpayer dollars in order to fund criminal aliens living here in order to rig the census. And that's exactly what's happening. Same thing with voter fraud. And then you reopen SNAP with a work requirement, obviously a case by case basis, but you have requirements that say if you are an able bodied young single man or woman, that you are required to go work and that this is a supplemental program that stays supplemental. It's nutritional. You are not allowed to buy this crap. Look at all this Junk this ultra processed garbage, Dog food, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, ground beef. That's what you should be allowed to buy on snap, period. Eggs, maybe milk. That's it. Learn how to cook for yourself, learn how to feed yourself and then make it limited. There should be a time allocation for how long you can actually be on this program. We played you a clip of a lady who's been on it for 30 years. She's thin, she's talking, she's of right mind, she's doing interviews, she's running around stores, she's totally able bodied. She just wants to sit and do drugs all day. And the American taxpayer is paying for that. You cannot have that as a system. That can't be our system. So that's what must happen in order to fix snap, in order to fix ebt. It has to happen. Otherwise people will not be part of the system. They won't buy in. Ladies and gentlemen, something that I have no idea if it's available on SNAP or ebt. I'm not going to ask. What I am going to say is that instead of those ultra processed and disgusting chips that you should try Masa chips. Masa chips taste delicious and they are delicious and they are good for you because they use three ingredients. Ingredients. These are masa chips. These are the only chips allowed in my household, period. They have wonderful different flavors. Any type of chip that you like is a masa chip. But I'm telling you guys, if you like a spicy chip or Dorito style chip or a cinnamon style chip, or if you like sort of the Vandy chip that they have, it's more of like a kettle chip. Whatever you like, dude. Masa chips make them with three ingredients. Corn, salt, beef, tallow. They're so good for you. They like, they feel good when you eat them. My kids are obsessed with them. They're a sturdier chip so it doesn't break and it also is more satisfying so you're not just like snacking all day. Anyway, this is what it means to have good and real ingredients. We love Masa. We love the people who run this company and we believe in their product because I use their product almost every single day. Give Masa a try. Right now go to masachips.com/benny use code BENNY for 25% off your first order. That's masachips.com/benny. Use code BENNY for 25% off. And if you don't feel like ordering online sprouts starting last month, now it's November and available at your local sprouts market. When it comes to health care, many people are just frustrated with how much it costs these days. Just like everything, gas, food, groceries, all of it like just costs so much and it's just spiraling out of the control. They promised us the Affordable Care Act. It's not affordable at all. Everything's gotten wildly more expensive. That's what happens when the government tries to meddle in the free market. Ladies and gentlemen, I have found a perfect solution for my family, however, in this fraught medical landscape and that is Medishare. Metashare is a wonderful Christian company. It allows me to share the cost of our medical needs as a family with millions of other families. Millions of families are doing this in order to lower their healthcare costs. It's a great option. For more than 30 years they've been in business. It can save you thousands of dollars a year on your health care. This is again something that has brought great comfort to my family. And you know, we've had four kids in four years. So our medical bills, they certainly are there. If you want to know more, there's two easy options. Go to Medashare.com Benny that's Medashare.com Benny or send a text and you'll get the info that you need that could really help your family out. Text the word benny to 70246 that's the word benny to 70246 and you'll get the link, message and data rate supply. Get healthy today with Medicare. A lot of people have sprouts markets around them. I do, ladies and gentlemen, lots of chips. Okay, so a very interesting and fun final notation here for the program. We are launching something really special. We're launching. We are launching early this year. It is the first week of November, our Christmas store. Now last year we sold almost 60,000 ornaments with our classic American electoral map ornament. We decided we were going to double down. We decided this year we were going to freaking deck the halls with a brand new assortment suite of Trump themed anniversary first year ornaments that are on brand and are locked in and are live at this very second right now on the program. And right here in this little box that Klein ran out to grab live during the show. Hot off the presses are our first run of Christmas ornaments. Now let me like make something extremely clear here as I show you these incredible pieces of art. I'll show. I'll get some of them out right now. These are made in America. These are made by veterans. This is made by my buddy Ryan who served his country honorably lives right here in Tampa, has an amazing company right here. None of this was run through China. None of it was run through Guatemala. None of this is run through Mexico. None of this is made by criminal aliens. None of this is going towards our enemies that want to destroy our nation. All, I mean all 100% manufactured, made and created here in America by Americans for Americans and veterans. So, ladies and gentlemen, don't you want a J.D. vance? Don't you want a little J.D. vance climb, please cycle through on the side here. Don't you want a miniature JD Vance on your Christmas tree? And the final version of this will have the JD Vance stay puis on the back. Don't you want that? Would you like that? How about the freedom flag? Ladies and gentlemen, our first run, the Freedom Flag, launching here on our first show in November. Would you like the official freedom flag? This should be sitting chillin on your tree this year. A flag to honor obviously the sacrifice and the message of all of those who have given their lives for freedom in this country, including a man who gave the last full measure of devotion, Charlie Kirk. Look at this, look at that. The Melania Trump. The legendary Melania Trump Christmas ornament. And every one of these will have a customized message on the back. Oh, this one is very special. The Peace on Earth Christmas ornament. I am unwrapping them and seeing them for the first time. It is a B2 bomber wrapped in Christmas lights that says peace on Earth has a little Santa hat on the B2 bomber peace on Earth Christmas ornament to be beloved by any member of your family that served in the American military. Don't you agree with Peace on Earth? Isn't this how you have peace on Earth? Oh, yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, here we go. UNBOXING the official 2025 version of the electoral map. And what we did last year was we did the states, blue and red states. What we're doing this year is actually the county by county, which is far more impressive. Shows you that Trump won 90% of American counties. And it also has a little Gulf of America labeling right there. You get your Gulf of America Christmas ornament. Ooh, baby. We have the President Trump flying over the border wall with Felice Navidad hanging from the border wall. And that is aligned with our Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero with President Trump singing in a mariachi band. Another Feliz Navidad sombrero. Hakeem Jeffries Christmas ornament to trigger your lib. Friends, let's go. The Trump 2028 hat. Why not? Why not? The Trump 2028 Christmas ornament hat. Come on, you want one of these? You want one of these rocking on your Christmas tree? Oh, man. Okay, this might be my actual favorite, second favorite. The rfk. The rfk. Don't. What is it? It's a candy cane holder and it's RFK glaring at you, saying, don't you dare. Don't you dare eat that candy. Don't you freaking dare. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. And it's angry RFK glaring. Can we zoom in? It's very grumpy. Rfk. Don't you dare, ladies and gentlemen, Finally. And there you go. You can hang the candy cane from it. Don't. Don't make a brand new game says don't touch the candy cane. And of course, as an answer to the no kings protest, there is a king, actually, and Christ is king is the Christ child. So actually, yes king, no kings. That's not true. There is a king. Christ is that king. And we are celebrating his birth on Christmas. Ladies and gentlemen, these are all live now on the Benny Store. They are all five dollars. How can you make things in America for five bucks? How can you actually manufacture such incredible stuff like this in America for $5? Well, you know what? You can. You don't have to go to China. You don't have to go to the third world to people who hate us, to get great manufactured goods from people who love this country to support your nation. Do we make any money off these? No, not really. I just want to bring Christmas cheer to you. I want to be able to support veterans and their businesses. I want to be able to have Christmas trees stacked with amazing ornaments that sort of give you a snapshot of the year and what that year brought us and how special some of these moments in time are. The JD Vance, I think the JD Vance. JD Vance as Santa, I think is going to work. I think this is gonna kill. This is kind of just. This is gonna slight. I showed this to jd. I showed this and he was howling on the plane. Get ready. I'm going to put one on the white. On the Christmas tree at the White House. Get ready, get ready. Five bucks. Same, same cost as it was last year. I'm not increasing my prices. I hate inflation. I don't. I refuse to engage in price gouging. I don't want anyone to ever feel like they're being taken advantage of. And so I'm not going to do it. So we are making these in America. Not a single communist touched any of the manufacturing of these ornaments. And we're making them at cost and we're shipping them to you. $5. Now, I'm not sure if it's live just yet because we're doing a full redesign. But what's going to happen is we have 12 ornaments here. 12 days of Christmas. 12 is a beautiful number. Around Christmas time, we're going to have a package deal where you can get something like all 12 of them and it's like 50 bucks and you get two for free right at that price point. So that's it. That's what we're going to do. So I hope that you. Can you scroll through here, Kalen? I hope that you go on over to the Benny store and pick yourself up a ornament or two or maybe all of them. The RFK one I'm going to bring. I'm going to deliver this to rfk. I'm going to deliver one to hhs. I'm gonna put it on the, on the, on the HHS Christmas tree. Don't, don't, don't. My kids are gonna have a blast with us. They're gonna eat the candy cane. They're gonna do it. And we wanted to, you might say, well, it's just the 3rd of November. Benny, why are you doing this? We wanted to open this up so that we have enough time because we do manufacture them ourselves and we don't just like print them all in mass in China for, for one penny, right? We want them to have enough time for our partner who we're going to go and do a full. I'm going to show you how we manufacture all these. We haven't filmed it just yet because these are fresh off the presses. I'm going to show you how we manufacture all these. I'm so proud that we do this in America. I'm so proud that we use veteran owned company. I'm just gonna stop talking about it right now just as they sit before me. I'm just thrilled about it and I hope that you will help us support veterans and help us bring some Christmas cheer and maybe some Christmas trolling to your liberal friends with some of these ornaments. So go now. Get them while they're hot. Ladies and gentlemen, you can do it at the Benny Johnson store. BennyJohnson.com link in the description. Ladies and gentlemen, peace on earth, goodwill towards men, Christ is king, and we're going to win. Very, very excited, very excited about our new Christmas store. Maybe we should. Maybe we should, like, we can make our own little segment and we'll do like a ticker for how many of these, how many of these we've manufactured? Very, very excited about it. All right, ladies and gentlemen, which one do you like the most? Which one do you like the most? I gotta be honest. I don't know. I'm. I don't know. I'm partisan. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

[Jeff Van Drew]

This.

[Benny Johnson]

This one's gonna. This one's gonna. This one's so good that you give this to your lived neighbor. Oh, man. And then this with the Gulf of America. This was the Gulf of America built in. Sleep nice. And if you got any fashionistas in your family, give them the Melania with their hat. Ah, come on. Hang it from the tree, baby. Hang it. Proudly live now. Let's. Let's go. All right, so we have big, big elections tomorrow. We're going to be premiering a brand new segment on the show here, the Poly Market. Check the polls. Let's freaking go. New York City Mayor, what's happening? New York City going communist. Let's see. Yikes. Dude, it's never looked worse. Brandy Cuomo right now. Zorhan Amandami, 94%. Cuomo at 6. That's not good. But we've known that for a very, very long time. New Jersey Governor, we were talking about that race today. Let's check in, shall we? It looks right now that Mickey Sherrill, Mikey Sherrill, has an 88% chance of winning. Obviously, there is a large voter advantage for Democrats in the state of New Jersey voter registration, and we'll see what happens. You know that we're huge fans of Mike, of Jack Citarelli and so. But he's sitting right now at 13%. These are just the betting odds. Okay, we'll see. We'll see. Ladies and gentlemen, Virginia Governor, let's check in Abigail Spanberger and win some Sears. You have 99% versus 2%. This has been one that the Republican has been behind in a very, very, very long time for the entire race, effectively. But we'll see. Again, it's nine now. It's 99% versus 1% again. Virginia, one of those places that so much of the population are feds affected by mass layoffs and they're bitter and angry. You pack so many of these USAID people into one state, into Northern Virginia, and has been able to swing that state from a, from a dark red state to now a very, very purple state. We'll see what happens. Virginia Attorney General race. Now, this is something that has changed drastically because J. Jones, somebody. You can see the flip there. Jay Jones was the favorite, but then collapsed after we found out that he wanted to murder Republicans and their children. So now Jason Mias is on top 57% versus 43%. So what will happen next? I don't know. I don't know. But here's hoping for that one. If this is the case, if Jay Jones is able to pull off a victory here, it's going to be very, very bad for a Republic. Democrat nominee for 2028. What's looking like? Democrat nominee, Gavin Newsom up top. AOC, though, is next. And John Ossoff. Kamala Harris is destroyed at 5%. Gavin Newsom is the buy there. And then AOC, goodness gracious, you can have a Gavin Newsom AOC ticket. What a mess.

[Doge Social Security Expert]

Yeah.

[Benny Johnson]

Zorhan Mandami is polling in there. And then for the Republican nominee, let's check here. Obviously, you can have Vance up at the top, Marco Rubio, but then Donald Trump's still pulling at 5% for his third term. And that's why we got the ornament set up and ready to go, ladies and gentlemen. And this is our Poly market. Check the markets and check the polls. Very, very good. Very spicy. Something that we're going to keep through 2026 for sure and on. Because poly markets just like, been on fire, right? They had Trump. You were listening to that man. They had Trump. Trump as a buy on election night. Them and us never believed any of the fake polls. All right, let's go. All right, ladies and gentlemen, as we sign off here for today, and we do, we have Mic Drop, hosted by former Navy SEAL Mike Ritland. It's raw. So you do four platoons in seven years at Team three when you go to the jump team. Scariest job I had the Navy until.

[Jeff Van Drew]

People started shooting at me.

[Benny Johnson]

Yeah, it was a blast, though. It's unfiltered. At what point did you decide I'm done with the SEAL teams? If you only knew how the Navy works. We don't have an enemy to fight. Like, we'll eat each other. It's tough talk from the top minds in their field. They're not looking for the best guy. Looking for the right guy. Yeah. Mic Drop. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Again, a very busy week. We hope that you will join us in Auburn. It'll be live. Auburn, big stadium event with Eric Trump and with Laura Trump on Wednesday. So we very Much look forward to vision casting, to announcing and breaking some news in this speech. Not going to be bringing the Christmas ornaments, I don't think. Maybe I will. I'm not sure. Maybe I will. Maybe we'll give out a bunch of these. The crowd who doesn't want a J.D. vance Christmas ornament. Maybe that's what I'm gonna give out. Charlie flung MAGA hats. But maybe I'll just give out. I mean, I don't want to hit people with these, you know, a little piece of plastic. Maybe we. Maybe you don't throw these right, you don't hurt anyone. Yeah, maybe that's what we do. Maybe I just bring like a thousand of the little JD Vance Santa Clauses. We'll see. We'll see. It is the golden era. Anything can happen. I love the name the golden era. Mainly because I like investing in gold. My friends. Ed Advantage Gold. Do take care of me. That is for certain. Fed has just cut rates and the odds are that they're going to continue to cut rates all the way through this year, next year and the year after that. What that's going to do is going to free up the money supply and this is going to obviously make your dollar worth less the more that they print of them and make gold worth more and precious metals worth more. So don't let the Fed gamble with your future. Lock in and get the 2025 gold and silver report right now from Advantage Gold. Text Benny to 85545 right now. That's Benny to 85545. Do it today and get your free copy of the 2025 gold and silver report before the Fed's next move sends metals higher. Text Benny to 85545. To protect your savings and secure your future. Gold and silver. All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's going to be a golden Christmas season. Look forward to that. Gold, frankincense and myrrh. Right? I give you gold every single day with our verse of the day. Here we go. Store up for yourselves treasure in heaven where moth and vermin do not destroy it and where thieves do not break in and steal. That's exactly right, man. From Matthew 6:20. Especially in this holiday season, make sure that you are focused on what? Crisis King. Yes, there is a king. Yes, I'm. Yes King. Actually not. No kings. Yes king. Crisis King. And ensure that you remember the best that we can do here on this earth is the treasure of our families, our children, and to ensure a future for them. And that's the best that we can do. And so we're going to pursue that goal, preserve this nation for our American children. And that is going to be the agenda of this program. We're so thrilled to fight with you every single day. Ladies and gentlemen, a reminder. In the end, we win. It's your boy, Benny. See ya. Sorry, honey, we can't afford that.
