I didn't think the pain from the shingles rash would affect simple everyday tasks like bathing, getting dressed, or even walking around. I was wrong though. Not everyone at risk will develop it. 99% of people over the age of 50 already have the virus that causes shingles, and it could reactivate at any time. I developed it and the blistering rash lasted for weeks. Don't learn the hard way like I did. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today. Sponsored by gsk. Pirate Winery.

Okay, great. You know what? Would you buy some pirate wine? You might not have an opportunity to because we may have gotten Ilhan Omar deported. It's quite wild couple of days. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why we are so proud to serve you. I just want to state we are humble servants of the Republic. We are simply here to bring your concerns and your questions to the highest halls of power. And that is exactly what we did at a CPAC and JD Vance interview run that we sped run last week. It was a wild time and we are just feeling blessed. I mean, we mean that truly. Not like the meme. We actually truly, profoundly mean that. We're so thankful for the energy and the power that you give us to go and carry forth the torch of this audience, the concerns of the actual America first base, and to do so in a way that makes a lot of news. And I just don't think there's actually been, if I may say this humbly, a more newsworthy J.D. vance interview. Pop it up, Klein. Because, well, I mean, we can prove this. The actual banger after banger after banger that came out from this time that we spent with JD Vance, which is only about 30 minutes in the executive office of the Vice President, was really something to behold. And why? Well, we got an opportunity to ask the right questions because doing this show every single day, locking in with this audience, as we have done for over a decade, right? We've been posting on social media. We've been trying to contribute to America first culture for decades now with our platforms, it makes us very old men in this profession. I mean, quite frankly, social media itself is only like 15, 20 years old. And so we were just early adopters. And it means that we have sort of a natural instinct to, or at the very least, a really raw connection to our audience and their concerns and you. And so it is our great honor to have brought you this. The JD Vance interview. The JD Vance interview, ladies and gentlemen, that we did in the executive office. The vice President has millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of views because we asked questions that were the concerns of the American people. And most importantly, we were able to get some news broken out on this. And so again, our great honor, and we're going to do it all over again tomorrow. Tomorrow we are going to announce, we're announcing to you right now, we are interviewing the NASA administrator. We're going to be doing this live at NASA headquarters. We're going to carry forth once again the concerns of the. Please put up the YouTube links that people can go ahead and watch it. I encourage you to watch the full J.D. vance interview. The clips just nuked. We asked about aliens. We asked about the war in Iran. We asked about Ilhan Omar and fraud. We were at the White House in order to witness the JD Vance Fraud Task Force. And we were also there, of course, to ask major concerns having to do with everything from Joe Rogan to Jimmy Kimmel to how long are we going to be in Iran with the Iran war and everything in between. Affordability, Christendom parenthood. We were able to pack all of that into just a few short minutes. Quite frankly, we didn't have like three hours of the Vice President like some podcasters get. That would be nice. But in our, in those 30 minutes, we just feel incredibly and profoundly thankful and grateful to you and to the team that keeps us locked in and connected. And obviously all of the questions came directly from the chat. Okay, so ladies and gentlemen, let's do a full wrap up of this, our wild times and then where we are heading next. Exciting. Today is Monday, March 30, 2026. African nation calls for Ilhan Omar to be extradited after our interview with J.D. vance. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, team. Thank you, team.

American Financing.net Benny Today, ladies and gentlemen, we went rip roaring through to cpac where that's where we were on Thursday. And we made quite a bit, quite, quite a stir by bringing out Greg Bevino, recently retired border patrol head. And listen to the reception he got. I don't know exactly how well the mics, the mics picked up here, but this is my first time actually rewatching this clip. But here we are at CPAC on Thursday. This is why we didn't have a show on Thursday. We do our best to try and explain the gaps in the coverage. We pray that you'll forgive us, obviously, for this one. But listen to Greg. Listen to the Greg Bevino reception here. Troll Chief Greg Bevino, who's here right now and who I want to give a massive round of applause for, for delivering, ladies and gentlemen. Huge stole my shirt. These numbers, so much. The man. Can we put this one back up on screen? Put that. Look at that. Look what Greg Bevino and his border patrol team did. Check this out. And here's an ICE agent. Dean Payne comes out. Oh, look at it.

Benny Johnson
Superman's doing a bow. Superman doing a bow to Greg Bevino. This is the work of Greg and his team. Can we get a massive round of applause for our border patrol and ICE agents. This work as the chief Border patrol. Don't ever kill yourself. Don't ever black pill the fake news. Hate him, libs. Hate him. This is Darth Vader for those people. He's the biggest bad guy, but he's a hero to us and the America first movement. Come on, Greg, say something. Come on, Greg, say something. Get over on the mic. I think I force him, actually. Greg, you want to say a few words? You want to just say thank you? He's retiring right now. Let's give him a warm, warm welcome. Greg Bovino, say a few words.

Marty McCary
Hey, Benny.
- [08:32]
Benny Johnson
Thank you.
- [08:32]
James Uthmeyer
Thank you again.

Benny Johnson
I did retire. I've actually been retired 24 hours now. I left my tribe, folks, but I joined another tribe, and that is you. That conservative CPAC movement, America. Thanks for having me here today. Thank you, Benny. Thank you. All right. 100 million deportations. 100 million. 100 million. Wait a second. Well, how many criminal aliens do we got in this country? I asked J.D. vance. Less than 24 hours later, this was in Dallas. We flew right to Washington D.C. in order to lock in. I want to begin by talking about the JD Vance Fraud Task Force. Do we have the tweet, please, of me showing the room boys? If not, grab it, pop up. Nick Shirley. Nick Shirley was there. We were able to hang out with Nick, and we were able to talk about fraud and spent an entire day trolling Gavin Newsom, actually. And it was a barrel of monkeys, I gotta tell you. He's like just a very impressive young kid. And then we were able to join the fraud task force, the fraud task force included. And I was. I actually. My jaws dropped to the ground when I saw this. Begin the video over, please. And then let's listen in. Listen to this. This is JD Vance. So right there, I even. I missed some. I missed some. So you have the Small Business Administration, hhs, dhs, doj, Stephen Miller, the Treasury Department, Department of Agriculture, Executive Office of the President, Russ Vogt. And then you have Nick Shirley right there. Look at that. Oh, hud. I missed hud. The Department of Education, Scott Bessett. This is like a Cabinet meeting. Nothing ever happens. Well, it does happen. Now listen, I want arrests just as much as the next guy. And that's actually the first question that I asked jd. First question I asked him was like, where are actually going? Where are going to be the arrests? It is absolutely critical that these fraud and these fraudsters find accountability within the American justice system. And so, like, standing up this committee is great. It looks great. It looks amazing that half the Cabinet is there. It means that this is very serious. From a tactical perspective, there is not, you could say maybe the SAVE act is a 9010 issue. This is probably a 991 issue in the 1% of the fraudsters. Every American wants us to destroy fraud in this country, wants us to go after the least sympathetic group of people that have ever existed, which are Somali fraudsters, but also Ukrainian fraudsters and Russian fraudsters, the mob, the people who, like, run these kind of. And I couldn't believe it. I mean, it was just disgusted in what I learned there. And I hope the American people truly, like, lock in and understand. Like, the federal government does not do any verification of the welfare systems that we fund directly to the states. We allow the states to run the paperwork, and then the states send the federal government a bill and the federal government just pays that bill. You want to know why we have $40 trillion in debt? That's how there is no verification. Are you an American. Are your kids actually autistic? Do you actually need child care? None of it is verified. None of it is real. All of it is fake. You must assume at this point that the majority, that 99 cents out of every dollar that's spent on welfare in this country are going to people who don't deserve it, who didn't pay for it, who aren't legal or aren't illegally able to accept this. And more importantly, as JD Vance explained to me, dude, there's. The threshold for actually investigating fraud is $1.5 million. $1.5 million. $1.5 million. So every single Somali pirate that gets off their boat here can defraud $1.5 million, can immediately become a millionaire without the DOJ even opening a case. That's what J.D. vance confirmed to me. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. Right after J.D. vance had his task force, he came downstairs, and our team were ready to lock and load. Let's freaking go. Here's the first question on fraud. People need to see, I think, that the fraud has been laid bare. We've all seen the leering center, right?
- [13:23]
J.D. Vance
Correct.
- [13:23]
Benny Johnson
The leering center is not an actual daycare. No, the leering center was fraud. Right. And we've seen the hospice fraud in California. And so I think it's been demonstrated that this is a problem. What people need to see now is like, arrests. Right. Deportations. They need to see that the federal government, the gears of justice, grind against these people, and they're not allowed to just continue.
- [13:43]
J.D. Vance
Yes. So let me give an example, something I just talked about upstairs, but I think it's worth reiterating for your viewers. So you take a program that exists within Medicaid to help autistic children get the resources that they need. So you have a Somalian fraudster in suburban Minneapolis who says that they have three kids who are autistic, and maybe they don't even have three kids. And they certainly don't have three kids who are autistic. So it takes money away from the American citizens who need these services. It defrauds the taxpayer. And you're absolutely right that the thing that we need to do is get real justice. So, you know something I learned just in the past couple of months, I had no idea that we do not prosecute fraud in this country if it's under $1.5 million.
- [14:24]
Benny Johnson
Unbelievable. Truly.
- [14:26]
J.D. Vance
So think about that.
- [14:26]
Benny Johnson
Think of unbeliev.
- [14:27]
J.D. Vance
All the people who are $1.5 million a year. This is not chump change. That is meaningful money. And by the way, sometimes by prosecuting the lower level people, you get to the higher level people who are collecting, you know, who have sort of the conspiracy to commit fraud against the American people. So one of the things that we're trying to do with this task force is commit the Department of Justice to investigating all fraud and actually going after the people who are doing it at the small scale of $1.4 million, but also actually looking at the big conspiracies that are out there. Because, Benny, I don't know about you, but I do not believe that what happened with the Somalian immigrant community in Minnesota, I don't think that happens without some cooperation from politicians, without other people looking the either way or maybe even being in the fraud themselves.
- [15:20]
Benny Johnson
So it is exactly that hook that allows us to go and ask the immediate question, which is, well, what is going to happen with Ilhan Omar? Because the White House itself has taken a very firm and strong stance against Ilhan Omar. The White House itself has not even suggested, has declared that Ilhan Omar married her brother. Trump has done this many times. While that is gross and repulsive, that is actually par for the course for Somalia. This is why it is so impossible for anybody to make an argument that we should bring Somalis to America. Because if you study their culture, you'll find that the incidents of inbreeding and the incidence of cousin marriages, the incidence of child brides, the incidence of Sharia law, which of course encompasses all of these things, that. That is extremely strong. The coefficients are extremely strong in Somalia. That is their culture. It would be permissible in Somalia to marry your brother. So why are we upset when it happens here? We were the ones who allowed Somalis to come here. Right. And the politicians who allowed for that need to answer that question. Nonetheless, it is illegal in our country. It is illegal on our laws. It is also, of course, immoral and grotesque. The White House has said, of course, that Ilhan Omar did this. I have the. I have impeccable sources that tell me that DHS has confirmation that Ilhan Omar did this and knows that she did this. And so then what happens next? Well, you've got to take action. You should make an example. This person should, well, not be in our country, but should not be able to scream at President Trump during the State of the Union. And she shouldn't be able to cast a vote that determines the course of history in our country. Robing herself in the constitution. She committed immigration fraud. She should go home. I mean, that's one of perhaps many enumerated frauds that Ilhan Omar committed, including her fake winery, her cash for food services scam, the feeding our futures scam that she set up, like effectively set up. She wrote the legislation for it, and then the Somalis took advantage of it. Okay, just connect the dots. So I asked JD Vance this and I was shocked at his answer. Here we go. Exactly. Obviously, Ilhan Omar, the President and the White House have been out saying she married her brother, that there is immigration fraud going on here. These are deportable denaturalization offenses. Can you give us an update on that?
- [18:09]
James Uthmeyer
Yeah.
- [18:09]
J.D. Vance
So we actually think that Ilion Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America. And I talked to Steven Miller about this actually recently. We're trying to look at what the remedies are. That's the thing that we're trying to figure out is what are the legal remedies. Now that we know that she's committed immigration fraud, how do you go after her? How do you investigate her? How do you actually do the thing? How do you build a case necessary to get some. Some. Some justice for the American people? There's a related issue, Benny, which is she has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters in the Somalian community. So do I know that Ilya Mar was aware that the Quality Leering center was defrauding the American people? I'm not certain of it, but we at least need to investigate it, because if people can commit wrongdoing without even the fear that they're going to be found out, that that's a fundamental problem. So I'm worried about the immigration fraud. I'm also worried about what did Elian Omar know about what was.

happening in the Somalia community and why was nobody looking into it until, frankly, Donald Trump came along.
- [19:43]
Benny Johnson
That is the first time in American history that we have not just President Trump musing about the rumors of Ilhan Omar, which is what the President has done, and saying that she deserves to be deported, which I, of course, support our President in these declarations. But it is also the first time that we have confirmation officially that with verified documents and a through line directly to Stephen Miller, who is the deputy Chief of staff who oversees the DHS portfolio, who is like the final and last word on this, that Ilhan Omar is indeed here illegally. What a constitutional crisis. She's currently serving in public office. She broke our laws in order to stay in this country, to get her brother into this country, presumably other family members is how chain migration works. And now that has been confirmed. So what happened next? Well, amazingly, the Somali land African nation said Ilhan Omar needs to come home. They, quote, tweeted that clip of us and the official Somaliland, which is a part of. Which is a breakoff nation of Somalia. Somalia, of course, is not a real place. It's a secretarian violence nation that has tribal and pirate violence. It's like 50 different tribes, frankly. And one of them says, ah, time to come home. Deportation, please. You're just sending the princess back to her kingdom. Extradition, say the word, Says Somali land. Okay, well, this seems to cut directly against President Trump's claim that Somalia actually doesn't want Ilhan Omar. And now we have confirmation on X that Somali. Somalia does want Ilhan Omar back. Here we go.
- [21:52]
Unknown Guest
Who I can't even believe is a congressperson between her and Ilman Omar and the group. You know, I met the head of Somalia. Did you know that? And I suggested that maybe he'd like to take her back. And he, he said, I don't want her. Okay, what else?
- [22:10]
Benny Johnson
All right, so this is us just fighting for a better world. This is what we do on this program. We're just fighting. We're just fighting for a better America. Look at that. That went viral. Republic of Somaliland, again, this is a breakaway. This is a breakaway nation that includes sort of the Somalian diaspora. And while it has yet to be recognized, President Trump says that they may recognize this nation. Perhaps this could be part of it. This is us just like. And we're not. We're not trying to. But this is us just engaging in high level diplomacy here. Here we go.
- [22:51]
Unknown Guest
We're looking into that right now. Good question, actually. And another complex one, as you know, but we're working on that right now. Somaliland, Mr. President.
- [23:01]
Benny Johnson
Okay, so could this be part of it? Could this be part of the recognition? I'm not sure. I don't know. I'm no diplomat. I don't ever pretend to be. Not trying to be smart. This is not a foreign policy show. But sometimes you just walk yourself into these things and. Well, we're also just a massive shout out to Rob Schmidt and Newsmax for allowing us, for bringing us on for this exciting moment. And we were able to just declare that this is the first time in history, this is a historic moment. J.D. vance declaring that Ilhan Omar did indeed, certifiably, through the head of dhs, commit immigration fraud is big. Ilhan Omar went savage mode on multiple other fronts. Again, we only had some 25 minutes. The whole interview is approximately 20 minutes. We only had some 25 minutes with the Vice President, but I think we were able to pack quite a punch in there. Senate recess. Should the Senate be going on recess right now given the fact that it didn't pass the SAVE act and they didn't pass funding for dhs? Not in its totality. He says no. And JDV answered the President of the Senate. He's a man of the Senate. He was elected to the Senate. Here we go. Bird did Senators here. What would you like to see happen? Are you available to cast the deciding vote to pass the SAVE Act?
- [24:18]
J.D. Vance
Absolutely. I am available whenever they would like to pass it. The problem is we actually do not have 50 senators, not who would vote for the SAVE act, but who would overrule the filibuster. That's something that a majority have. The senate, you need 50 senators plus me, and I'm certainly on board. 50 senators to actually overrule this archaic rule and pass the Save America Act. Now here, Benny, this is the thing that I find so absurd about this. If you remember Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, two people I didn't always agree with, politically moderate Democrats, but very good people. They are the people who saved the filibuster. When the Democrats were in control of the Senate just a couple of years ago, what happened to them? They were tarred and feathered by the far left. They were ran out of town. So when Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski say, well, we need to protect the filibuster because the Democrats, they're not going to do it, so we shouldn't do it either. The Democrats ruined the career of Kyrsten Sinema for not overruling the filibuster. They're going to do it, so we might as well do it now to enforce the protection of the American electoral system. It's the dumbest political argument I've ever seen. I promise you, Benny, I would bet every dollar that I own that the next time the Democrats have control of the Senate, they will break the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court and destroy this country. We, we have to do it now in order to save the country.
- [25:40]
Benny Johnson
Should the Senate be going on recess right Now.
- [25:42]
J.D. Vance
No, of course not. Of course not. We should at least the very minimum product that we should get before anybody's going on recesses. Let's reopen the Department of Homeland Security. Okay. I heard from my mother in law this morning. Chaos at airport. She's flying this morning. Chaos at airports. There. There are over four hour waits at the Houston airport. That's probably one of the airports that's the most affected by this. We want people to be able to fly and see their families over the Easter holiday without having to wait six hours in a TSA line. We want the TSA agents who are keeping our airport safe to be able to get paid. We want the people who are running our Coast Guard ships and preventing drug cartels from bringing fentanyl into our country. We want them to be getting paid. They're not getting paid because Democrats shut down DHS and went on recess. I. Republicans in the Senate should not be playing along.
- [26:34]
Benny Johnson
I love it. Strong stance, J.D. vance strength. Strong. It's like was a really fun interview, I gotta tell you. Unlike the questioning side because he just spits it straight. And something that you need sort of clarity on a number of these issues. Iran, obviously. The reason, you know, why we started talking about Iran was I wanted to talk pricing. What is, you know, what is America first? If anything, it's making life better for us here in America. And that's going to be a hard case to make if prices are out of control or if things feel like they're more expensive than ever. And I know that on a, on a pure baseline, they're not more expensive than ever. But gas is very high right now. Grocery prices are still stubborn. And I want more young people into homes. This is a passion project for me. So we talked about affordability. And in order to talk about affordability, you have to talk about the consequences of some of these actions that are raising prices. How do you fix that? So I said, what's the off ramp for Iran? Because it's like obvious that that's what's jacking up oil prices. And along with the price of oil rises the price of everything. And so the Iran answer made a lot of news. Here we go. Gas prices were down. I think the national average was close to $2 a gallon. And do you think that's like where the actual status is? Do you think that that's where that's natural? And you know, obviously the excursion in Iran is what's doing this with the high gas prices. As somebody who's enlisted, obviously as somebody who served what is your message to the troops? Are there going to be boots on the ground? What does the off ramp look like in Iran?
- [28:27]
J.D. Vance
Well, the President said, look, we've accomplished the gross majority of our military objectives. I think you can make a good argument. We've accomplished all of our military objectives. The president's going to keep at it for a little while longer to ensure that we, once we leave, we don't have to do this again for a very, very long time. That was fundamentally the President's goal. He said, look, this country, they're threatening us in all these ways. They're still trying to build a nuclear weapon. We, we need to neuter them for a very, very long time. And that's the purpose. You're right. Gas prices have certainly gone up because of what's going on in the Middle east, but they're going to come down. Right. This is a very, very temporary reaction to what is going to ultimately be a short term conflict. I think the President's been very clear about this, that we're not interested in being in Iran a year down the road, two years down the road. We're taking care of business. We're going to be out of there soon and gas prices are going to come back down.
- [29:17]
Benny Johnson
All right. Well, I mean, this is what I want to hear. Obviously, I'm not, I'm not in charge. As we have stated many times on this program, I wasn't elected president. But we are here in order to advocate for the principles and priorities of America first of our movement. Something that obviously we wish to see carried forward is why we had to ask. And this is the final clip that we'll play before getting to the Attorney General of Florida who has a lot to talk about this morning. 2028, there's a lot of also other gold that we asked about with J.D. vance. He went torch mode on Jimmy Kimmel, punched back at Joe Rogan, had a lot to say about the way that Congress functions and the executive branch and also aliens. But 2028, who will you be running against? What could possibly b the Republican ticket? Will you run? I decided to ask the question in a, in a way that he hasn't heard before, try and, I don't know, trick him. Let's see how it goes. Since we started on fraud and since it's going to come back to it, if perhaps hypothetically there was a 2028 run, would you rather run against Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris or aoc?
- [30:37]
J.D. Vance
Oh, God. Oh, man.
- [30:41]
Benny Johnson
That's.
- [30:41]
J.D. Vance
You just asked the question. You just Asked it in a different way to try to trick me.
- [30:45]
Benny Johnson
I'm not nearly, damn it, as easy to.
- [30:48]
J.D. Vance
But look, I'll say this about the Democrats. They don't seem to have a very strong bench. And I'm not too worried about any of these people as political candidates. I am worried about them as potential presidents because they're all, in their own way, nightmares. The thing that I continue to find very interesting about the modern Democratic Party is on the one hand, they say that they stand for working people, and on the other hand, they support the importation of millions and millions of people who undercut the wages of working people, who take away housing and health care from working people, who stretch the social fabric that normal Americans depend on. And I just think until the Democrat Party wakes up to the fact that, I mean, Cesar Chavez, the old, like, socialist union organizer who hated illegal immigration, recognized this, that you cannot stand for working people and mass immigration. You have to choose one. Until the Democrats make a smart choice, I'm not worried about who they nominate. But God forbid any one of those people ever became president because then we would have what Biden did to this country on steroids.
- [31:53]
Benny Johnson
There's somebody who knows exactly what Biden did to this country on steroids. Because the state of Florida, along with every other state, is still reeling from the problems that were exacerbated, caused or created on purpose. Kind of a mix of all by the Biden regime. Criminal alien immigration and the obscene amount of high gas prices, high inflation, the total incomplete breakdown of law and order. A man who is trying to restore that law and order, James Uthmeyer, the Attorney General of Florida, joins our program live right now. Mr. Attorney General, thank you so much for being here. A lot to talk about. J.D. vance made an enormous amount of news saying that Ilhan Omar did in fact commit immigration fraud. You obviously have to deal with criminal aliens and the 20 million criminal aliens, that was the, that was the number that the, that J.D. vance, the vice president, used. That was his rough estimate. You have to deal with that every single day here in the state of Florida. What would be your remedy to the ILHAN Omar question, Mr. Attorney General?
- [33:12]
James Uthmeyer
Well, what I'll say is I've been calling for denaturalization and deport for a couple of years now. It's certainly one of the things people out there laugh at and enjoy the most because it's true. I think she's a great example that, you know, not only is criminal, you know, illegal immigration a bad thing, but we also need to revisit Legal immigration, just because somebody could legally come here is not necessarily what's best for the country. When you have people coming in that want to burn our flags, that don't want to say our pledge, when you have the dissimilization and. And the efforts to erode our pride in American heritage is concerning for a country. So that's, you know, for a policy question when it comes to the criminal illegal aliens, we're cracking down here in Florida like never before. Our fentanyl rates have dropped now. Fentanyl deaths almost 40% decrease in just a year since we shut down the border. Fentanyl cases down 60, 70%. We arrested 1400 child predators in the last year, and I would say 15 to 20% are people that are illegally here in the country. You had a lot of crime, a lot of trafficking, drug, inhuman, going over the southern border. And it has seeped its way into every corner of our country. And it's going to take a while to root this out and ensure rule of law once again.
- [34:33]
Benny Johnson
You've worked closely with the federal government. You've obviously worked on deportation and denaturalization cases. I want to talk specifically about Ilhan Omar and then extrapolate out to what you're doing in the state of Florida. But how would you charge this? Let's say that you are at the doj. You know, what would be your remedy here? The vice President said we're looking for legal remedies. Off the top of your head, how would you. How do you get somebody out who has committed immigration fraud?
- [35:02]
James Uthmeyer
Well, I think there's several avenues you can go, but, I mean, if there's evidence that you are aiding and abetting or helping to coordinate fraud, then you face criminal sentences. If that happens, then the federal government certainly has the ability, the discretion the courts have been clear to denaturalize based on somebody that has violated the laws of our federal government in this country. So I would do everything I can to get her charged and prosecuted and convicted. If she needs to serve time here, that should absolutely happen. But then she should be denaturalized and sent back on a plane to where she came from. She's been criticizing America for years, calling on our evils. If that's the case, then she'll do well going home.
- [35:44]
Benny Johnson
Yeah. I mean, again, like, if you love it that much, then why are you here? Exactly. I find it remarkable that every single time there's a riot, it's everyone waving every flag except for American. And then they're so angry when they go get sent back to those countries of the flags that they're waving. It doesn't seem, it doesn't seem to make any sense to me.
- [36:07]
James Uthmeyer
Mr. No. You saw the immigration riots all over California where they have no rule of law, where they have a derelict governor. And yeah, you had Mexican flags waving everywhere. And if that's the pride you have, you do not have to be here in the United States.
- [36:23]
Benny Johnson
Let's talk about some people that are under your purview, although I'm not sure if they're charged federally or state. Perhaps you could elucidate for me, Mr. Attorney General. Some of these Indian truck drivers, they happen to be Indian. I know there's probably foreign truck drivers who get CDLs from all over the world. But the ones who have slaughtered here in the state of Florida and who continue to try and drive the roads of Florida, predominantly Indian truck drivers given CDLs from the state of California. Again, I know this is happening all over the country, you're cracking down on it, but it's already led to deaths here on the roads because they can't read road signs. I believe it was last week that there was a clip that went viral of a Florida cop trying to get a foreign truck driver to just read simple road signs. And they couldn't do it. It was all on tape anyway. It was chilling. Can you give us an update on this?
- [37:17]
James Uthmeyer
Sure. Well, everybody knows the case of Harbinger Singh down in South Florida where unfortunately, three people lost their lives as a result of this individual being given a CDL license. Not just an average driver's license, but one to drive a large heavy duty tractor trailer on the interstate. Turns out that he failed the test many times. He could not speak English, could not read road signs. Thus the dangerous U turn that he took in the middle of the interstate is not that surprising. We're prosecuting him. We got a great state attorney down on the case. He will spend a long time, probably many decades behind bars. We've instituted here in Florida, Idaho, checks and language exams at our checkpoint way stations here in the state. You can see law enforcement, you know, you know about these cases here in Florida because our law enforcement's actually cracking down. Lord knows how many of these cases are going undetected in other states. But we've been working with the federal government, the Department of Transportation, to try to remove funding from states that do grant these licenses without proper tests. And ultimately we're bringing both civil and criminal action against the companies in California and Washington that we're handing out these licenses Thus endangering citizens in other states like Florida by giving these permits to illegals.
- [38:40]
Benny Johnson
Oh, that's remarkable. Okay, so. Okay, so talk me through how, because I drive my family, I have four little children. They're all in car seats, right? Like, if a giant truck were to swerve into the wrong lane or pull these kind of moves, that's the end of my family. This is like a terrifying threat for the citizens of Florida. So you are confronting this on two levels. One, you are stopping these truck drivers and administering English language and citizenry tests. I think we have the footage, the footage that we just played, but here's an example of that and an example of a truck driver failing that. And then you're also suing the states that are giving the CDLs to the foreigners who can't read. Is that correct? Do I have that correct, Mr. Attorney General?
- [39:26]
James Uthmeyer
That's right. Yeah. We're doing the detections. It is not lawful as an illegal to operate a license here in Florida. That's including regular driver's licenses. But we're also going well out of our way to scan and detect incidents where you have people driving this heavy equipment, equipment that requires significant training. You certainly need to be able to speak English to drive these large trucks. We're out trying to detect individuals that are breaking the law here in Florida that are coming in undetected, and then follow that trail of breadcrumbs back to the companies that profit off of, you know, giving out these exams and doing the permitting for other states like California. So we've sent multiple subpoenas, including criminal subpoenas to the company in California to see if executives actually knew if they're profiting by giving out these permits while knowing people don't speak English and are endangering lives. That's a real serious problem that needs to be addressed. I think they probably do. And then we've also brought, you know, a civil suit in the US Supreme Court against California for harming Florida. You know, the Constitution says state on state legal action should go right to the U.S. supreme Court. So I'm hopeful they'll take that case.

app and hold California accountable for the harms that Florida has suffered, where our citizens have suffered, where people have lost their lives as a result of their careless practices.
- [41:20]
Benny Johnson
Wonderful, Wonderful. I don't know which, you know, it makes me, like, just so proud to live in the state of Florida that the state actually just doesn't allow us to get slaughtered like this and that the crimes of another state. Of course, you know that somebody doesn't speak English. And you know the second you walk into a convenience store, if somebody doesn't speak English, it's just basic communication. They know what they're doing.
- [41:41]
James Uthmeyer
Mr. Well, these driver's tests are administered in English, so I don't know how you pass a test when you don't speak English, of course.
- [41:48]
Benny Johnson
Well, we appreciate you fighting back against that. Again, it makes us proud Floridians. You're proud Floridian? I, I don't, I have no idea where you went to college. I don't know if you're a Florida gator or not. I don't know.
- [41:59]
James Uthmeyer
I am. Yeah, I'm a gator. And then I got sucked into the mess of D.C. for, for a good eight, nine years, but I made it home to the free state of Florida.
- [42:07]
Benny Johnson
So you are obviously somebody who cheers for the gators. The gator is a protected creature, a majestic creature here in the state of Florida. And there was an influencer clavicular who was caught shooting one on a fan boat. And, and the footage is grotesque. We've blurred it here, but we find animal cruelty to be dishonorable and to be disgusting. Nonetheless, there is. This footage was all over my timeline this weekend of this influencer killing or shooting a dead or alive gator. This is again, illegal by statute. We pulled it by the statutes of Florida. Could you please give us an update on this case, statute 379409, that you're not allowed to, of course, slaughter a gator with a handgun like this.
- [43:04]
James Uthmeyer
What's an update here, Mr. Yeah, well, he's been arrested. Fish and Wildlife, the conservation commission here that oversees our state parks and permitting. When it comes to hunting animals, they're deeply involved in an investigation. Obviously, we have the video, but we're crossing our T's, dotting our I's. It looks like a serious offense here. This is a felony. You can't just go out and shoot animals. Here in Florida, we have law and order. We have a permitting process. If you want to go on a gator hunt, there are certainly very appropriate ways to do that. But the imagery you See in the video is pretty careless and cocky. And at the end of the day, that might just be so stupid that it lands him a lot of time behind bars. But the message I'll send is, you know, we enforce the law here, no matter who you are, if you're an influencer, social media, celebrity, doesn't matter. If you do the crime here, you do the time. We prosecute to the fullest. We don't give out special treatment. So if you're going to do dumb things, expect to get, you know, serious results.
- [44:06]
Benny Johnson
What does it look like? What does the charging look like here? I mean, I've gone on a python hunt, right. You know, I went with a member of Congress actually, a couple of years ago. It was great fun. You had to get tagged, obviously. You had to get all of our licenses and everything, but it was, you know, it was great fun. There's plenty of gamesmanship here in the state of Florida, but do it legally. What does the consequences look like if you don't?
- [44:28]
James Uthmeyer
Yeah, again, I can't get it out ahead of the investigators and the prosecutors here, they get in trouble. I get in trouble enough with them. They get frustrated with me. But you're looking at a time of years on an offense like this, not months. It will be real time, ultimately, if he's found guilty.
- [44:44]
Benny Johnson
Okay. All right. Be smart. Don't hurt animals. Right. And, you know, don't. Don't care. Don't carelessly put people's lives in danger or, you know, do it just for, like, I don't know, for the vibes, for the aura, for the clicks. Yeah. Bad state to do that. Not.
- [45:02]
James Uthmeyer
Not worth it. Not here.
- [45:03]
Benny Johnson
No, sir. Yeah. Okay. Well, Mr. Attorney General, we deeply appreciate your time here. We know there's a lot going on. We hope you'll come back and join us soon. And everybody should follow the great Attorney General of the state of Florida, James Uthmeyer. Thank you so much, Sreiji.
- [45:19]
James Uthmeyer
Anytime, Benny. Thanks for having me.
- [45:28]
Benny Johnson
You know, I. We've never done this on the program, but we actually get an opportunity to go from cracking down on animal abuse to cracking down on animal abuse with our next guest, Marty McCary from the FDA, who has a massive announcement about the torturing and testing that had occurred under some of his predecessors. And the beagles and dogs and apes and large mammals, they cracked down that. Finally, Dr. Fauci, hardest hit. And Marty Makary from HHS joins us live right now. It is an honor to have you on the program again. I am really. We're animal lovers on this show. And so we just loved seeing your announcement this weekend. It went all over our timeline that you as FDA commissioner are finally cracking down on the foushee esque style barbaric testing of torturing innocent dogs for very little scientific benefit or research, if at all. So the floor is yours, Mr. Commissioner. Tell us about this new policy.
- [46:51]
Marty McCary
Well, good to see you, Benny. You know, we have to modernize our health and human services agencies. And that means that the fda, we need to move to computational modeling and modern techniques and something called organ on a chip technology where you can test a drug on a cell culture line in a laboratory. We don't need to be doing a lot of the animal testing that we're doing. So when I came to office a year ago, we announced within weeks a roadmap to eliminate unnecessary animal testing. And I'm proud to report today that we had another major milestone in the last week. We announced our new guidance that says you don't need to do a lot of the types of animal testing that have been going on. You don't need to test monoclonal antibodies on 144 chimpanzees. You can use newer techniques. The kennels that house the beagles at the FDA facility in Maryland are empty. We have a facility that housed cattle and goats. There are no longer any animals at that facility. So we are on track on our roadmap. And the reason this is important, Benny, is because not only is it more humane for animals. I personally don't think God created animals for us to test all these products on when we have better techniques, but also we are lowering the cost of research and development for drugs. That means lower drug prices for everyday Americans. And for example, the 144 chimpanzee requirement, that takes time. That takes six months to a year. That means people who could benefit from a powerful new drug have to wait an additional year to get access to that drug. We just approved two cancer drugs in 44 days and in 55 days, respectively. These are powerful new cancer medications that can literally bring people out of hospice. Do we really think that we need to have unnecessary delays in the process from things that just don't make sense? And that's what we're changing at the fda.
- [48:50]
Benny Johnson
You know, it's very interesting doing this for so long. You very rarely find circumstances where you can really, truly unite all of Americans. But the vast majority of Americans love dogs and they love their pets. And they have a personal relationship with a dog either that they grew up with. For me, black Labrador or a dog that they currently own. Or maybe they're like my neighbor and they own 18 different dogs. Either way, there's very rarely circumstances where you can say the vast majority of Americans unite. It's like a 9010 name, probably 991 issue, and this is one of them. This horrible image was of course circulated of Dr. Fauci testing on these innocent beagles. I believe it was a sand fleas and they were being eaten alive on purpose. And it's. It was cruel and it was evil. Perhaps you could, like, tell us, you know, why would you ever do this in the first place? You know, how bad did it get? Mr. Commissioner, in order to sort of underset how important it is that we stopped this.
- [49:59]
Marty McCary
Look, that was an NIH funded study that you're describing. And I have nothing to do. There's no way anybody can explain that except that it was mad scientists that were doing things on animals. Just because you can. Now, just because you can do something to an animal doesn't mean you should. And do we really need to know that that particular pathogen can spread via sand flies from one dog to another dog? Is that really the cutting edge of science that we have to discover, or can we understand food and school lunches better and the role of all these toxins in the environment and the microbiome? So what's crazy about some of these inhumane animal experiments is that they came at the expense of studying basic things that we need to understand in order to have a healthier population of children in this country.
- [50:54]
Benny Johnson
I know this is a personal question, but are you a dog guy, Cat guy? Do you have any pets at home?
- [51:00]
Marty McCary
I love dogs, and people ask me that all the time because of all the reforms we're doing to eliminate unnecessary animal testing. But we don't have a dog. My wife's allergic to dogs. But look, I get it. Dogs are wonderful, beautiful creatures and they are emotionally intelligent. And so look, we want to do what's right. Even though I personally am not going to benefit here. Animals from home.
- [51:23]
Benny Johnson
Yeah, I'm allergic to. I'm like horribly allergic to cats. I really love dogs, but I got four little kids, right. And so it's like not enough. Not enough hands in the first place. So hopefully a dog in our future, but probably a decade down the road nonetheless. I'm cheering for and celebrating all of this. All of America is. It seems totally and completely cruel. So many places I'd like to go here, but since you talked about bringing people out of hospice with brand New cancer drugs. Perhaps you could just talk about the hospice fraud that we've seen and some of the major frauds and some of those reforms. I know that Secretary Kennedy, who you work with and work for, was there at the Fraud Reform Guideline roundtable at the White House. I saw you there as well. Could you talk us through? How are you going to crack down on fraud on an HHS level?
- [52:13]
Marty McCary
Well, all of us who have been practicing physicians for a long time have known that the open secret is that, is that there's a ton of medical fraud out there. And so the question is, is HHS just going to do lip service and do the minimal stuff that has been done in the past, or are we going to take it seriously and, and really take the bull by the horns? And so this administration has said we are going to crack down on fraud. It's wrong. It's taxpayer dollars. We have to be good stewards of the money that the government receives. And so that's why we're taking a very, very firm stance. So, look, I'm loving everything that I'm seeing from Dr. Oz and his team and Secretary Kennedy. There's a lot of work to be done out there. We're doing everything we can to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. And reducing animal testing, by the way. It's not just good for animals, it's good for humans. 90% of the drugs that don't pass animal testing, that pass animal testing, don't pass in humans, and then vice versa. Many drugs that don't get through animal testing may not be toxic in humans. And so we could be missing out on cures and meaningful treatments. So very, very simply, our job is to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars and to deliver more cures and meaningful treatments and better health care for the American public. We just announced these two drugs that got approved for cancer in 44 and 55 days. That process is normally a year. So we're not messing around. We're willing to cut the idle time, cut the waste, cut the red tape and get right to business so that we can deliver for the American people.
- [53:48]
Benny Johnson
I just don't think that it got the attention that it deserved. But the Trump Rx, the, the, the, the clearinghouse to ensure that Americans can have affordable medicine that the rest of the world enjoys. And for some reason, we get just completely raked over the cold. I mean, that's, that's a form of fraud itself, is it not?
- [54:14]
Marty McCary
Well, look, if you like having five middlemen selling and reselling drugs before you take them, then Trump RX is not for you. But if you believe in going direct, if you believe in giving Americans the opportunity to bypass the middlemen and buy directly from those who make the drugs, the scientists and drug developers who make the drugs, then Trump RX is revealing just how low of a price you can get. And we now have the lowest prices in the world thanks to most favored nation status. This is a huge priority of President Trump. This was him, we all worked on it. But this was 100% President Trump who said we have to deliver for the American people, not with a 1 or 2 or 3% reduction in drug prices, but with getting prices down to pennies on the dollar. And that's what you're seeing @TrumpRx.
- [55:03]
Benny Johnson
The website is on screen right now. It is really remarkable. Again, the administration does not get the credit that it deserves for fixing these problems that have been going on for generations now. And we've been ripped off and things are, well, quite frankly, remarkable. I was cruising through the website, Mr. Commissioner, and I was just like, well, wait a second, why didn't we do this in the first place? What has the FDA even been doing exactly? Like, has it just really been a clearinghouse for pharma law, big pharma lobbyists? I mean, is that really just what the FBA had become?
- [55:39]
Marty McCary
The FDA throughout its history has had moments where it's been captured by the industry it's supposed to regulate. And so what we've had is the great American ripoff where we were paying the highest prices in the world. Now we are paying the lowest prices in the developed world. And by the way, people are just starting to see now just how low these prices can go. Wait till more drugs get added into Trump rx. We're adding new drugs with every phase of this website getting updated. And so you're going to see more and more products there. And so it's an exciting day, it's a new day in America and I'm really privileged to be a part of it.
- [56:16]
Benny Johnson
I know that you have a very busy schedule. I'd like to ask just kind of an open ended question here because there have been some really remarkable leaps forward. It seems almost out of the dark ages as we talk about animal testing, but also vaccines and the way that the health establishment was manipulated seemingly against the better interests of the American people. Dr. Fauci is sort of an iconoclast when it comes to that era. You know, why did things get so sideways? Why did healthcare become so damn politicized?
- [56:50]
Marty McCary
Mr. Carey, I think it's because the censorship culture took on a life of its own and so you couldn't actually speak directly to the science. And it embodied itself with the most scientifically implausible demand on the American public. And that was ignoring natural immunity, insisting young healthy kids get Covid shot after Covid shot every year for the rest of their life. 70 more shots for a 6 year old girl in America today with no good clinical evidence to show that the repeat Covid booster strategy was even, that it even made sense. So when we came into the agency, we said, look, we're going to honor the promise if you want your vaccine, you'll be able to get your vaccine. But we would like to see some scientific data to support a repeat Covid booster shot for young kids in perpetuity. And so we have basically said we are getting back to basic science here and we're not just going to rubber stamp a vaccine simply because it has vaccine in the name.
- [57:49]
Benny Johnson
We have Senator Rand Paul on all the time, Mr. Commissioner, and he's constantly banging on about his criminal referral for Dr. Fauci. In your time at the FDA, have you, have you. Do you believe that there's perhaps criminal influence that may have happened in different areas?
- [58:08]
Marty McCary
Well, Dr. Fauci, since he was at the NIH, we don't directly have any records of his activities, but we did see a cover up to silence data on myocarditis, a COVID vaccine complication highest in young kids. So young kids were the lowest risk for Covid getting in trouble with COVID infection and they were the highest risk for myocarditis. So by sort of suppressing that information, it sort of created a misrepresentation of the risk benefit ratio. Now, that data has since been made public and myocarditis appears in the label of these vaccines. So we're doing what we can to set the record straight. But look, when we came to office, we walked into a mess. We had been funding a lab in Wuhan, China that likely brewed up the virus that killed 25 million people. We walked into 12% to 14% of NIH grants were going to DEI, not to curing rare diseases or cancer or kidney disease or diabetes, but to describing differences in the population, which we already know are true. So we walked into a mess. And so what we wanted to see was money go towards important things that have to do with the well being of kids. Addressing the 40% of American kids that have a chronic disease having SNAP waivers for the first time in government, where Brooke Rollins has said now 20 states have applied for these SNAP waivers where you don't have to use taxpayer dollars for junk food in the SNAP program. So we're not afraid to go radical. And that's exactly where we're going.
- [59:44]
Benny Johnson
That. Oh, that's so. That's so important. I'm sorry, I have to ask one follow up on snap. Like, tell us, like, how insane had it gotten? How. How unhelp. How is it that the health administration in our country was funding the most unhealthy choices for our children?
- [60:00]
Marty McCary
Yeah, $400 million a day was going out of the government for food. And that's not even to mention what was going on at the military bases. Now, military has said, hey, we want to participate in this health revolution. We want to serve healthier food. So we've seen incredible partnerships across government, the Department of War, the usda, hhs, fda. We rewrote the food pyramid to tell people the truth. You know, we're interested in telling Americans the truth and letting them make good decisions. We told women the truth about hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women, the profound short and long term health benefits, and we told people the truth about food and the importance of real food and the underestimation of protein in the old food pyramid. So we're not letting industry write the food pyramid based on what they want you to buy. We want scientists with good nutritional bases write the food pyramid so that this can be a procurement document for every government agency that buys food from the local school district to. To the state level, to the federal level. This is real food and this is what we want people to buy.
- [61:09]
Benny Johnson
It's incredible. We have up on screen here the inverted food pyramid versus what I grew up with. And it's crazy. It was just upside down. It really is unbelievable. Really is unbelievable. A parting. A parting. A parting message. Perhaps, Mr. Commissioner, about. About these reforms to save animals and to not torture animals. You know, like, why did Dr. Fauci do this? Like, what? Yeah, I mean. Cause this is the news of the day. This is the top 10 tweets in my timeline as people celebrating your decision here. This might be the single most popular decision the federal government's ever made, at least in recent memory. Yeah. What's your parting message?
- [61:51]
Marty McCary
Well, it's sad that scientists figured out that beagles are particularly docile and cooperative. And so the beagles then got recruited. Recruited for these cruel scientific experiments. So we're setting the record straight. I think we need to understand that it's not bad to challenge deeply held assumptions in science that is, in fact, how science is conducted. So whether it be telling people the truth about food, whether or not it's doing what I agree, 90 to 99% of Americans believe to be right when it comes to the treatment of animals. I'm not even sure who the 1 is in the 99 to 1. I mean, I'd like to meet that one. But, you know, these.
- [62:30]
Benny Johnson
Or maybe not.
- [62:30]
Marty McCary
Yeah, or maybe not. But these are things that make sense and they're scientifically valid. We need to encourage scientific debate, not censor it.
- [62:40]
Benny Johnson
Yes, yes. Thank you so very much for. For righting the wrongs. Fauci under file Fire for Beagle organization Alleged puppy experiments oh. Oh, it's. Oh, it's grotesque. It makes people not want to pay taxes. I mean, honestly, it's like, why? Why would I want to fund this? It's so terrible. It's so evil. Dr. Marty McCary, FDA Commissioner. Follow him. Obviously, he's got tens of thousands of followers right here on his official account. He's a total legend in the space, and he's just one of those guys who's constantly, very humbly, fighting to make America healthy again and to, well, literally save the puppies and children. Can't say that about most people in the federal government, Doctor, but you're literally fighting to save the puppies and children. And so thank you, sir.
- [63:24]
Marty McCary
We're trying our best. And thanks for all the support, Benny.
- [63:27]
Benny Johnson

Be very nice to see that come back down and be nice to see that crash through the floor. To do that, you'd have to open up the Strait of Hormuz. You'd have to also like sort of take the temperature down literally in this

But let's go ahead and check out what Trump wrote on Truth Social here. The United States of America is in a serious discussion with a new and more reasonable regime to end the military operations in Iran. Great progress has been made. But if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, it will probably, as it probably will be. And if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately open for business, we will, we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants, oil wells, Kharg island, that's where they process and export all of their oil and Possibly all their desalinization plants. This is where they get their water from. Not an enormous number of freshwater streams in the mountainous desert landscape of Iran. So the desalinization plants obviously bring in water from the ocean, take the salt out of it, make it drinking water. President Trump knows of course, that as does the deep state, that if you want to stage a revolution, you simply need thirsty or hungry people and people without power. And there's your revolution, ladies and gentlemen, this will be retribution for our many, many soldiers and others that Iran has butchered in the regime's 47 year reign of terror. Thank you. Your attention, this matter, strong statement. Not sure if there's been major market reaction to it. But ladies and gentlemen, we do want the price of oil to go down. We do want domestic policy victories. Some something that we talked about with J.D. vance, something that we'll talk about every single day on the show. I don't want you to have unnecessary oil in your diet. Masa Chips is here for that. Masa Chips does not have seed oils in it. Masa Chips does not have the kind of, well, you can straight up call it toxins. Go look at what a. Go look at what a normal like chip, a famous chip brand off the shelf has in it. It's practically gasoline. You could run your car off it. It's terrible for you. It's not good for you. There's no way it is. It is truly like a byproduct, chemical toxin. Not masa. Masa Chips has three ingredients. That's why you feel great after eating them. It's corn, it's salt and it's beef tallow. It's all natural and it's good for you, man. It's like, actually leaves you feeling crunchy afterwards. They call them crunchy moms for a reason. Masa Chips for you. Give them a try.

This has been a bad season for Republicans in the Senate. Republicans in the Senate run home like cowards and they refused to pass the SAVE Act. They refused to even like, get it to a vote. The Republicans were seen fleeing throughout the airports. I'm not gonna mention the Republican that I saw sprinting through the airport. But for the first time in public, I actually snapped on a member of Congress. I don't know if it's live on tape Maybe somebody was filming us. I don't think so, but I saw a member of Congress scout, like, running through the airport, and I was like, what the hell are you doing? You know, they had their little, like, security. You know, their special little airport security team with them, like, running to their little, like, you know, their special little entry point at the airport. I was like, like, are you suicidal? Like, do you even understand? Do you have any clue, like. Like, how angry people are right now about all this? Like, you shouldn't even be seen. You know, you shouldn't be seen here. You should drive back to your district, quite frankly, and hang your head in shame. I snapped on a member of Congress at the airport. I was coming in to D.C. from Dallas for a J.D. vance interview. I snapped. I mean, I was furious. I've never done that before in public. It was, like, not exactly in my nature to do that, but I did. I did this. This audience. I love you. And you, like, connect me, obviously, to the. You know, I mean, I am you. And I get. I got pissed. And, you know, I was kind of pissed off. Sorry for, like, the rant here, but, like, I was pissed off because I had Tim Burchett on. I had multiple members of con. Darrell Issa, I had multiple members of Congress on. I was like, why the hell are you guys using these special little entry points and your little. You know, these little private security teams and your special little access to these airlines? Why are you using that? Why are you doing that? That seems like normal Americans, all of us, have to stand in these long lines, have to go through this humiliating TSA process, and you're just gonna, like, lord it over us that you get all this special access. And sure enough, this member of Congress was walking around with their. You know, there's a little, like, guy with a badge who's there from executive services to, like, walk her through the airport. I literally roasted her to her face, and then I walked away. I was so angry about it. Somebody I'm quite friendly with. So, anyway, like. Like, read the room, okay? Read the room. Especially if you're a Republican. We expect this kind of stuff from Democrats. Especially if you're a Republican. Anyway, cowardly GOP scurry home like rats. There's nothing more infuriating to a frustrated traveler delayed for hours by the Democrat shutdown than to see senators strolling off smugly with VIP escorts. The worst offender was Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who hightailed it out of D.C. on Friday morning, hours after stitching up a duplicitous 2am deal at the end of the shut to end the shutdown by caving to Democrat demands to defund ICE and border enforcement, at least for the time being. Elements of the Department of Homeland Security were funded by the one big beautiful bill last year. Bethune's deal freezes out immigration enforcement and border security functions that are all important as we go to war against the world's largest sponsor of Islamic terrorism. John? Well, I'm sure we have the footage. Do we have the footage? John Thune scurrying through the airport. Thank you. Mike Lee snapping on this. Mike Lee saying President Trump has the power to convene the Senate under Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution on extraordinary occasions. If the department with a quarter of a million employees is going to be underfunded isn't an extraordinary occasion, especially while the Senate is out on a two week vacation during which the shutdown has no plans to resolve. An impasse will deal with that in two weeks. I don't know what is. So Mike Lee is demanding that Donald Trump reconvene the Senate. Here's John Thune scurrying like a rat through the airport. I saw this, these grifters in D.C. again, I've never actually yelled at a member of Congress before in public. I yelled at a member of Congress. I did. I yelled. I was so angry about it. I go ahead and listen to Trader Jonathan. Very proud to have, very proud to have been against John. Everything is resolved, working out well. The House is going to do their job well.

We made some temporary headway, but we got a lot of work to do still. Look at him running off. See how he's passing by. So the top level, the top level that you or I could buy and it cost us a lot of money to do. It would be right here. These signs said TSA Pre or clear. See that? TSA Pre clear and then clear. And you have to pay money. You have to, you know, fork over a bunch of cash in order to get the benefit. The, you know, the privilege of letting the federal government just abuse you slightly less. And that's only sometimes, sometimes these TSA pre lines are longer than the regular lines, right. Client and I deal with that. I have TSA pre and I have for a long time. It costs about 100 bucks, but I get it for free with like a credit card, right? So we have business card and all, all these credit cards have these little benefits, right? And so, so like, you know, you can, you can pay to just get harassed slightly less by the government. And here's John Thune cruising past both of those. Isn't. What an amazing, what an amazing, what an amazing piece of footage here. So where's John Thune going? If John Thune's not going through the highest level that you can possibly pay for as a private citizen, he's going to a special secret entrance for members of Congress where there is no line, where there is no security, where there's no harassment at all. And he just gets walked right to his plane by private security, not the, not the taxpayer funded security by private security. That, that comes from the airport itself. You can see those are the people walking with him here from the airport. He's scumbag members of Congress. It enraged me. I lost my mind. I didn't want to take my eye off the ball when it came to the J.D. vance interview. But it made me so furious. I don't know if this was filmed on a Patriot mobile phone. It looks like it was filmed on a cell phone. If it were me, it would have been a Patriot mobile phone, ladies and gentlemen. I use Patriot Mobile when we're on the road. Patriot Mobile is the world's only Christian conservative wireless provider. We just want to say thank you for their longtime support. It's the best premium service in the nation, available on all three major networks. Go to patriotmobile.com Benny or call 972 Patriot to use promo code Benny for a free month of service. That's patriotmobile.com Benny call 972 Patriot to make the switch today, ladies and gentlemen. We'll see, we'll see what happens next. Got a funny little military story here. Obviously something that President Trump is doing. The White House. The White House. The new White House ballroom complex is actually secretly a military complex. I'm sure you've heard of the new White House ballroom. Trump Ballroom actually has a massive military complex underneath it. You know, in Washington D.C. there's all of these tunnels and these special underground compounds. I've seen the tunnels, by the way. I've seen the tunnels. I was taken down to the, the opening of the tunnels inside of the US Capitol that goes straight to the White House, goes under the city. Allegedly it goes to the Pentagon in case they need to like get all of Congress out. In case there's some type of terrible, you know, thing. I've seen the tunnels themselves. Military is building a massive complex under the White House ballroom. So White House ballroom build is actually so that Donald Trump could put in like a massive new. Uh, let's go Ahead and read. Military complex is what it's called, uh, now the military building, a big complex under the ballroom. It comes out recently because a stupid lawsuit that was filed, Trump told reporters on Air Force One. But the military is building a massive complex under the ballroom and that's under construction and we're doing very well, says Trump. We will have bulletproof glass, drone proof roofs and ceilings, the president added, talking through the renderings of the project. Unfortunately, we're living in an age where this is a good thing. Last week, Trump said that the national security component of the construction of the ballroom was supposed to be a secret. Classic Trump here. Now. It's no secret. The military wanted it more than anybody, he said in the cabinet meeting. It was supposed to be a secret, but it became unsecret because a lot of people here are really unpatriotic. So this is what's actually happening here. Here's Trump Ballroom, military complex,

massive. The military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed. But the military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, and that's under construction and we're doing very well. So we're ahead of schedule. That's part of it. The ballroom essentially becomes a shed for what's being built under the military, including from drones and including from any other thing. The glass on the windows, you see the big windows, the glass is extremely thick. It's high grade, bulletproof glass. So all of the windows are bulletproof. I think the Times wrote to you, some of the windows are fake. We have no fake windows. They said they talked about a stairway in the south. We don't have a stairway in the south. That was replaced a long time ago. But this is,
- [79:06]
Benny Johnson
we've heard him say, fake news. Now he's seeing fake windows. Will there be a fake end to the war in fake Iran? I don't know. Go ahead and check the betting markets. We got 8, $8 million bet on this question. Trump announces the end of military operations against Iran by March 31st. Well, isn't that today? Client tomorrow. Okay, all right, by tomorrow. But by June 30th, it flips entirely. There's 70, 70% chance there's a full end of the operation. Mr. President, I am ready. This would be very nice to see. Very nice to see. But get, but keep your heads in these times. Please don't crash out, don't burn out. Don't light yourself on fire. Let me go ahead and check to see if we have the actual, like the promo graphic that I wanted for the space launch. Oh, that's so cool.
- [80:05]
Unknown Guest
Yes.

Benny Johnson
Oh, that's so cool. Klein, pop that up tomorrow. Tomorrow. Jared Isaacman and Benny Johnson live at NASA. Come on. Live at NASA. How freaking awesome is this? Roaring cheers. We are going to be doing an interview before the Army Artemis launch. The Artemis launch will be the first American rocket launched into space since the end of the shuttle era. You're talking decades. Not only that, but that's. This rocket is going out farther into space, going around the moon is going out farther into space than any human being has ever gone before. I know that no one in the press will want to actually cover this. So we are going to bring the energy and the power of this audience to. To Jared Isaacman, NASA Administrator in the NASA headquarters at Cape Canaveral Kennedy Space center tomorrow. I'd like to say live, but I don't think we'll have the capacity to do that. So it'll be just like J.D. vance, where we film it and then we get the clips and we get the interview up as fast as humanly possible. Ain't nobody does this. By the way, this J.D. vance interview. Can you pop over the YouTube screen one more time? This J.D. vance interview, we had clips up alx. What in like less than two hours we had. In less than two hours we had the fully produced like clips up and in the news cycle, less than two hours we had like clips and news breaking and rolling out. We had a massive production there. A five man team. Honored to have it. Professional setup. We hope we made you proud. Just play, just play the. Play the. I mean, I just think it looks beautiful. I think the, the vice president himself looked great here. The team just cooked. We wanted obviously to bring a level of professionalism to. Not that, you know, being in a black T shirt all day in a little studio with AR15s on the wall and professional, you know, but we were like really proud of the team. We're like, we want to respect you, we want to respect the office. We want to bring dignity and power to what we're all building here together. And it is totally our just great honor here, ladies and gentlemen. In order to have the opportunity to do this, we view it as a privilege and a privilege that is given to us by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, you know, because this is just what we've been working toward. Don't ever fight God, you know, don't pray for things. Don't like be upset about getting the things you prayed for at a different era. In life. Don't be angry when God. Don't be angry when God gives you exactly what you prayed for. He tends to do that.
- [83:02]
James Uthmeyer
Actually.

Benny Johnson
That tends to be the way that God worked. God has a great sense of humor, does this all throughout the Bible, and he's doing it today. God is alive and well and in control, and we're gonna, well touch the face of God in a way tomorrow. This cooks. Here we go. The Artemis launch. Epic. We'll bring it to you tomorrow. We'll see, we'll be. We'll do the show tomorrow morning and then we're gonna head right over there. We'll see if we can be live. I don't know, Klein. I'm not sure we're gonna be able to do it live. I don't know. We'll see if it can be live, but if not, then we'll get you the clips right away and then we'll be there for the launch. We'll bring you the launch live. That we certainly will do. We'll bring you the launch live the next day. That would be Wednesday. This week, the 1st of April, there will be the Artemis launch into space, weather permitting. So again, say your prayers, ladies and gentlemen. Say your prayers with Ephesians 4:25 today. Stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth. We are all parts of the same body. Yeah, I mean, listen, like, it's kind of amazing, like talking about the puppy and the animal abuse stuff here. When you hear truth, you. When you hear truth, like actual truth, it just like connects with your soul when you hear the truth. We try our hardest to speak the truth. As far as I know. We've never, ever, ever lied on this show. When we do make mistakes, we correct them. There's so much power and just speaking truth and. And I know that God uses those who do not lie because it brings clarity and light of the world. Be salt and light, ladies and gentlemen. Let that light shine. As Christ says, don't hide it. We're gonna let it shine tomorrow. Look at one more time this poster. I'm just seeing this for the first thing. There's the light right there. It's gonna be awesome. Anyway, with great appreciation and a marching forward onto victory, it's your boy Benny. March with us. See ya.
