Hi, Dana. Well, you know, there have been very few presidential warnings in history as sobering as the first six words of that truth social post. A whole civilization will die today. And sobering is the point of this President Trump saying he is not pushing back this 8pm deadline as he had pushed back deadlines before. That Iran has had more than enough time to come to their senses, to come to a deal and open up the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking from the briefing room podium yesterday, the President said that he still has interest and optimism in coming to a diplomatic resolution.

I can tell you they're negotiating, we think in good faith. We're going to find out. We're getting the help of some incredible countries that want this to be ended because it affects them also. A lot of people are affected by this. But we're giving them, we're giving them till tomorrow, 8 o' clock Eastern, day
- [00:53]
Dana
Eastern, that is 3:30am Tehran time. The President does not want them to sleep on that deadline. And following through with this threat of decimation to Iranian power plants, that is what is promised here. It's something the President said that he will do if necessary, but doesn't want to, especially if the US has to extend a hand in eventually helping Iran rebuild.
- [01:14]
Unknown Male Correspondent
I mean complete demolition by 12 o' clock and it'll happen over a period of four hours. If we wanted to, we don't want that to happen. We may even get involved with helping them rebuild their nation. And you know what? It, if that's the case, the last thing we want to do is start with power plants, which are among the most expensive thing.
- [01:34]
Dana
Now. The President yesterday dismissing any criticism that targeting civilian infrastructure would amount to a war crime. He says given these stakes at hand, that just would not apply. Meanwhile, Iranian officials via state TV are urging young people, civilians in their country to create these human chains and human shields around power plants. But you know, with that true social post, I think there's a psychological element to that. The President trying to speak directly to the those who are potentially in Iranian emerging leadership who he has called reasonable, telling them to take this moment, utilize it and prove that to be the case of them being reasonable.

Benny Johnson
Hey, hey, guess what day it's power plant day. I'm going to bomb the out of them. It's true.
- [02:31]
Congressman Greg Steube
I don't care.

Benny Johnson
It's a very serious day, Jerry. It's a very serious topic and I'm, I am, I am still quite sick. So I can't handle it. I can't handle any, I can't handle that I can't handle that meme. Jerry, thank you for bringing a little bit of levity to now what will be a very interesting day. This is power plant and bridge day. President Trump this morning saying he's going to decimate the entire civilization of Iran. I'll just say this as a Christian because we don't know what's going to happen, right? We're not sure what's going to happen. I just got to say this like, blessed are the peacemakers. I pray for peace here. That's my prayer. I said it publicly this morning and I'll say it right now. And again, like I pray for peace. We want, we wish to be an uplifting movement and a movement that obviously shows the potential of Western civilization and Christendom and the words of Christ. And so let's go there right now this morning. Matthew 5, 9, start of the show. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God from Jesus Christ on the Sermon on the Mount. This is what I pray happens. Both J.D. vance and senior administration officials are saying that Iran is efforting a deal right now to be made with the United States of America. And I pray that happens. We don't know what's going to happen. President Trump has promised today at 8pm Eastern Standard Time that the entire nation will effectively be sent back to the Stone Age. That's every bridge gone, every power plant out. I'm not here to debate that. I'm really not because, well, quite frankly, it's not up for me to debate. It's just not. I'm not in the briefing room. I'm not in, I don't have the security clearances. I haven't been making these decisions. It's not really my battle. And let me just say this definitively, like, from the perspective of this program, the longtime perspective of this program, I don't want these battles. And that's not what the today's show's about. Today's show is about Eric Swalwell and about, you know, something that, something that's wild here domestically that's spiraling completely out of control and may make for a Republican governorship in California. So we're going to talk about that today on the show. But I, like, just want to get this off my chest. Our battle is not Sunni and Shia. It's not Israel or Qatar. That's never been what I wanted America first to be about. I mean, even like some of the stuff that's done in our own hemisphere, I kind of like, I kind of think it's almost more permissible to say like, Venezuela is a couple miles away, Cuba's a couple miles away, we should control our own hemisphere. But even beyond that, like focusing inward on our borders, that's maga, that's America first. The pothole on my street is more important than making a new pothole in the Middle East. This has been the opinion of this show. There are obviously a lot of traps that have been laid in the Middle East. For every great civilization from Alexander to Napoleon, the Middle east is to the British Empire. The Middle east becomes a trap for great empires. The Greeks, I mean, the Romans, the crucifixion of Christ. How many empires must fall in this sand pit, this oblivion? I don't want that to be us. I pray for peace and we have a voice and we have a show and we have like a miticum of influence and we're trying our level headed best to not, you know, light ourselves on fire, to not, you know, it's like veer wildly and fly off the cliff in either direction, but to stay steady on, try and keep a coalition together, pray that spells are broken. That coalition, like that one us, this unbelievable victory in 2020, I mean, truly like a God inspired victory. God saving President Trump's life in front of all of us. That, that wins the day. That, that is the energy that wins the day. And a final note here. No American election ever has been won based on foreign entanglements ever. Not even World War II. If Franklin Delano Roosevelt was about to lose multiple elections during World War II. Huey defeats Truman. I mean, it's famous for a reason. Truman was his vice president. FDR died. What about World War II? Didn't we like it so much? Actually, no, the American people didn't want to be in World War II. That's a fact. That's a matter of historic fact. We didn't want to be in World War I. Civil War also something that could have been settled through peaceful means. I think that, like, it's hard to justify really any war in American history, like, except for the Revolutionary War to start our nation. I think you can make like a sound and thoughtful argument for blessed are the peacemakers in almost every conflict. But wars have been the undoing of American administrations, whether it's Woodrow Wilson, fdr, all the administrations that fomented the Vietnam War which led to just the abyss, George W. Bush, these entanglements, the Korean War, which was garbage as well. These entanglements like, you know, are the undoing of great civilizations and great empires. Ask the British, ask the Romans, ask the Greeks. You can't even ask the Romans anymore. Don't exist. At least not in the sense of, like, Rome. So, you know, Roman Empire, it's gone. And so I just, just a, A, a reason why I'm praying for peace is that the wars can be the undoing of a good admin of an administration. The wars, like, virtually always are the undoing of an administration. No reason that Clinton should have won in 92. George H.W. bush gotta go to Iraq, dude. Why. Peace, though, wins. Reagan won in landslides based on peace and bringing peace. Peace wins, war loses. And so we pray for peace. Ultimately, what peace signals is that we care about the people here more than the people over there. We care about the flourishing of the people here rather than killing of the people over there. And I think that's critical, a critical and important message to send, and it is a moral message for any leader of any nation. If we would have such a different country, if our leaders just cared about our country more. Over the course of my lifetime, and I'm pushing 40 and we've like, in the course of my lifetime, I don't know when was the last president that really, really put like, the, the, the betterment of the American people absolutely first. That's why, this is why I pray for the Trump administration, because this was, this is the America first movement. That, that is the goal of the America first movement. Cheap gas, cheap groceries, affordable housing, Americans flourishing, heritage Americans having children, continuing our great culture and a culture that, you

Benny Johnson
is a culture of the zenith, pinnacle of Western civilization and Christendom and what it can build. That's what we're defending, that's what we're creating here. And so just like a couple thoughts off the top of the dome, right when it comes to, you know, bridge and power plant day in Iran, why I am praying for peace. Why I am praying for peace. Ladies and gentlemen, this Tuesday, April 7, 2026, Eric Swalwell is in deep trouble again. Trump finds a final warning, sends a final warning to Iran. Sheriff Bianco, who is running for governor in California, will join the program. Congressman Greg Stubby and Mark Geist of the Benghazi raid will be joining the show, all live today. My name is Benny Johnson, and this is the Benny Show. Masa chips, ladies and gentlemen. They are something that brings me a bit of comfort.

You know, Eric Schwal was already freaking out over the Fang fang bang bang release files. Potentially to be released soon. But now it turns out that we won't even need to see those files to destroy Eric Swalwell's career. Eric Swalwell will soon face a slew of sexual harassment allegations from former staffers and left wing activists. Okay, you know, it's always the guys that you most expect, actually, guys who crap themselves on live tv. Eric Swalwell is running for governor of California. He's odds on to be the Democrat nominee. Now our friends Sheriff Bianco and Steve Hilton are both in the lead actually technically. And Steve Hilton just got the Trump endorsement yesterday. But I'm telling you, this is going to cook. Eric Swalwell lived by the sword, die by the sword. Eric Swalwell will soon face a slew of sexual harassment allegations from credible women that worked for him. According to the leader of a left wing advocacy group, Gen Z for Change, who says that she has been personally working with the women to expose a pattern of manipulation and abuse of power. The group's executive director, by the way. I'm just like, I'll just like, I'll just say it right here. This is why Charlie Kirk always had body men with him. So you know, like, so that nobody could ever make up these kind of allegations about it. There's all. There were always witnesses everywhere. Just be smart. Every single time. We have somebody on our program who like is really bred in, like Tim Burchett, like this is literally how they get you. Tony Gonzalez. We had Brandon Herrera on Tony Gonzalez. Such a scumbag in Congress. He has, he has allegations like this with the text messages to back it up. Anthony Weiner. If you want to like rewind the clock back a decade, dude. Since the dawn of time, since Samson and Delilah, the downfall of all rulers and leaders since David. This is how you know, it's all spiritual, frankly. Anyway, let's go ahead and look here. What is it? The group's executive director, Cheyenne Hunt, detailed the impending allegations against Swalwell, who's running for governor of California. He's leading all the Democrats in a series of social media posts. Her original video was posted on Instagram in late March. It cited texts from women. You know, Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign NDAs. They don't speak up. Oh, what a scumbag. When I was 19, he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs and I have so many friends with similar experiences. Oh no, this is not an anomaly. It's part of a pattern. Hunt posted up a follow up video titled why I came forward about Eric Swalwell personally working with the women who want to come forward with their stories and be aware of much larger group. Oh no. Eric Swalwell is not available for comment. This is it, ladies and gentlemen. This is. This is the career ender for Schwal. Amazing how sleeping with the Chinese spy was not the career ender Democrat Party. That's just assumed. That's how you get that saying your campaign. These campaigns are expensive. Of course we need Chinese yen. Of course we need the Chinese to fund it. Some of the commentary here from Annapolina Luna. If this is true, it's horrifying. He should be added to the freaks and weirdos currently in Congress. Can you stop molesting your staff? It's unacceptable, illegal and gross. Here are. Here is the commentary. Alx. Should we, should we have a listen here to what these allegations are and then in a moment. Yeah. In just one minute we'll have one of the opponents of Eric Swalwell joining the program live at the Great Sheriff, the great Sheriff Chad Bianco, who will detail all of this. Alex, what is. What are the allegations here? Do we not have the. Do we not have the Instagram video
- [16:23]
Cheyenne Hunt
questions about why I decided to make public comments about allegations of sexual harassment against Eric Swalwell before a major news outlet published the story. So let me be as clear and transparent about that as I safely can be. I am personally working with a group of women who want to come forward and share their stories. I am also aware of a much larger group that is also in this process. That I am not personally working with. We have secured pro bono legal representation for them, and they are in the process of sharing their information with major outlets while ensuring that their legal and physical safety is protected. That process takes time. But the number of credible women who have come forward since I posted my first video is really shocking. And all of them moving forward together has greatly expedited the timeline of this whole, whole process. I got deeply involved because, like I said in my first video, I had heard these rumors for years, going back to the time when I was working on the Hill. But the first person who approached me with their story was a close personal friend of mine. Then once I started digging into it and I found that there were a number of other women whose stories matched the same pattern of manipulation and abuse of power, I knew that I couldn't stay silent because these women needed to know that if they came forward, there was a group of people that would have their back. I understand that people want as much information as possible about these women, their stories, their identities, and the proof to back this all up.
- [17:41]
Benny Johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, some of the. Some of those who are in the business of corroborating and putting these allegations together are losing it online. Here we go. Yeah. I'm going to be so real with you. Swalwell is a rap. These are from Democrat activists, by the way. These are not. This is not from the right who would also, like. Who have also been calling for the destruction of Eric Swalwell's career. But, like, not like this. I can't believe it. This is from the far left. Okay, here we go. Listen to this. I've seen one. I've seen what I need to see. He isn't going to sue anybody over talking about this because Discovery would kick his ass. Why this man ran for governor is beyond me. And now look at these latest polls. You have Eric Swalwell's chances collapsing through the center of the earth.
- [18:32]
Congressman Greg Steube
Whoa.
- [18:34]
Benny Johnson
Eric Swalwell's chance to become the next governor has now collapses. Collapsed, as Democrat activists say. Shocking number of women are about to accuse him of harassment and come forward and talk about what a monster he is. Again. It's always the people that you most. Most expect. Something that I found particularly rich in all of this is how Eric Swalwell was one of these guys who constantly. Was actually maze account I was looking for. Constantly out talking about, you know, how bad Donald Trump is. Right. And how evil. How evil guys like Brett Kavanaugh was. Listen to this here. Listen to this.
- [19:21]
Unknown Commentator
Opens his statement and says, you know what? Bring in all the victims, allow them to be heard, allow them to be questioned. That will clear his name if he's indeed innocent. And if he's not, for the sake of the credibility of the court, I hope that the senators would vote against him. It's very easy to isolate one incident and, you know, shine inaccuracies or inconsistencies on that case. But the more and more cases that are separate and independent that look the same, pretty soon a prosecutor starts to say to a jury, and this is not a jury, but it's a. It's allegations that the arrows are pointing in the same direction. And what are the chances that three or four women independently who never met each other would have similar experiences with one person?
- [20:02]
Benny Johnson
Oh, wow, that's amazing. Is he talking about himself? No, he's talking about Brett Kavanaugh here. It's remarkable how it's like a constant biblical truth in all of this, that the weapons that we form will be used against us. Commenting yesterday about the incredible mission to save our airman who's stranded in the hills in Iran, somebody who we were excited to talk to about this is Congressman Greg Stube. And well, maybe we can get the sheriff back. We did fix our. We did fix our problem, as we have said, ladies and gentlemen. We had a crew member who had a personal emergency this morning. We wanted to hit our live time. And so now we are set, locked, ready and back in action with Greg Stube. Congressman Greg Stubby here from Florida, also a veteran who's joining us live right now. Congressman, welcome back to the show. Thank you very much for being with us. Tell me about bridge Day and Power Plant day and what Americans can expect. You know, the president really, really well. You know what's going to happen tonight?
- [21:20]
Congressman Greg Steube
Well, I think for context, we just need to take a step back and kind of explain how evil the Iranian regime is. So I served in Iraq 0607 with the 25th Infantry Division and Soleimani, and the Iranians were responsible for all the IEDs that killed over 600 of our service members during that period of time. They also funded Hezbollah. They also which are shooting rockets and killing innocent civilians as we speak. Last couple of days, they killed four people in the northern part of Israel. They fund Hamas and the huge tragedy of October 7th where they went in and murdered children and babies and innocent civilians and murdered people at a party and all these things, these terrible atrocities. So you hear the left say, oh, Trump can't blow up bridges. Those are civilian infrastructure. He can't blow up, you know, power plants. Well, if they're, if they're supporting the terrorist regime, if they're, if the terrorist regime is using these bridges to move around, if they're using these power plants to fund terrorism and fund the different things that they're using to launch rockets at innocent people, then absolutely, it is a legitimate military target. Being somebody who served in the military, who was a jag, who actually made ROE decisions for commanders, who gave advice as to what we could target and what we could not target. It's interesting to hear from the left that suddenly certain targets are off the table because they think it's civilian in nature. When these very people.
- [22:47]
Paula Pan
Hey there. I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. Do not ever worry about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you aren't in a bad financ financial position. Once you have that, your salary becomes moot. What matters from that point forward, upside gains, any type of ownership stake or ownership potential. That's the money. Remember, you can afford anything. Just not everything afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
- [23:17]
Congressman Greg Steube
Our murdering civilians have murdered civilians for decades, going back like 47 years. Even the time that I served in Iraq, they were murdering service members who were just driving down the road trying to protect people in Iraq. So it's kind of interesting to hear this. Oh, this is illegal and unlawful. And so what you're seeing is I, I think the President obviously being very frustrated that they're not willing to open the straight of Hormuz, is going to target things that are going to be devastating to those military operations that are reliant upon certain bridges to transport like drones and weapons and ballistic missiles that they're moving around to target energy infrastructure that the Iranian IRGC is using to then target and fund their military operations. So it's kind of interesting to see all this argument on the left that what Trump may or may not do, he's just saying what, what he wants to do is suddenly a, a legal violation of the law of war. And I just don't see it that way. Way.
- [24:20]
Benny Johnson
So do you believe that there's going to be some type of treaty reached or peace agreement or some type of ceasefire, or do you believe that the administration is going to go ahead with this? Do you have any information from the.
- [24:32]
Congressman Greg Steube
Yeah, I don't have any information. But what I will tell you is these people are terrorists. The Iranian regime constantly lies. They've lied for decades. They've lied about their nuclear capabilities and their Nuclear development. They've lied about their ballistic missile capabilities, even as recent as the last six months or so, talking to Secretary Rubio about where their ballistic missiles could and could not go. And then they launched one at one of our bases that were like thousands of miles away and suddenly, oh, well, the Iranians actually have the capability to hit the continental Europe and some of our bases in Germany. So you can't believe anything the Iranians are going to say. I think the, the President and Marco and our administration have worked tirelessly to try to come up with some type of diplomatic solution to this. But you, one, can't trust them. And two, they won't agree to give up their nuclear ambitions. They won't agree to give up their ICBM ambitions. They won't agree to give up their intercontinental, intercontinentalistic ballistic missiles. So you have a problem when they have the ability to launch attacks against our service members and launch attacks against our allies in the region. So I don't foresee there being a deal in the next 24 hours.
- [25:45]
Benny Johnson
So I wanted to get, as a veteran and as somebody who's obviously forward deployed, like, what is your, you know, what was your initial reaction to reading through what happened this weekend with the saving of the airmen trapped in the wilderness in Iran, deep behind enemy lines? It's possibly the most impressive rescue operation I've ever heard of, maybe the most successful military operation in American history. Your thoughts?
- [26:14]
Congressman Greg Steube
Yeah, There will be movies made about what happened to rescue that airman, that pilot, the, the backseater. I mean, our military capabilities have always been impressive. But to be able to go that deep into enemy territory, to use the type of assets, I mean, you had the CIA working with our defense industry, working with the Air Force, working with our Special Forces, working with centcom, SOCOM, to go in, identify where he was located, the, the, the technological capabilities of that alone, to know where he was, to be able to get a mission to go in and all of the different assets from both a, hey, we're, he's over here trying to deceptively convince the Iranians that he was at a different location to going in and actually doing the operation. And oh, by the way, yeah, we lost some military equipment, but not a single casualty on our side. Hundreds of soldiers that went in to get this guy one. It shows that we will never leave a fallen comrade, ever. Which we always pushed that when I was in the infantry, when I was in the army, that was always something you knew if you ever, if you ever got captured or if you, if something ever happened, you knew that your brothers and sisters in arms were going to come and get you. So again, we solidified that to every single person that serves in our military that we will not leave you behind. Even if it's hundreds of miles in enemy territory. We will use every resource of our military to come and get you. And then the technical, strategic operation of actually being able to go in and accomplish that mission without a single casualty is, is there will be movies written and a scene about this in a couple of years. I'm sure about how awesome this was that we were able to go in and get him out.
- [27:58]
Benny Johnson
Yeah, we very much look forward to Chris Pratt. I'm not sure exactly like which, which Hollywood actors I would want to pretty much just, just take the top, Top Gun movie, right? Top Gun Maverick, this is the same. Everyone always said there was Iran that they were talking about in that film. And then you have two pilots that are down behind enemy lines. We just needed them to steal an F14 Tomcat. And you could complete the entire, you can complete the entire narrative arc of Top Gun Maverick. Congressman, what about these brand new allegations against Eric Swalwell? Eric Swalwell allegedly is going to have a deluge of sexual harassment allegations made by former staffers against him. The allegations stem from inappropriate touching to sleeping with staff members, some young women, 19 years old saying this. Obviously we're going to wait to see what the, you know, what actually materializes here. But these are some pretty serious left wing allegations by left wing activist groups that are blowing the whistle on Eric Swalwell and his activity. Have you ever heard anything about Eric Swalwell, like from this perspective, Fang Fang?
- [29:13]
Congressman Greg Steube
No, I haven't. I haven't heard of anything. But what is interesting to me is the level of hypocrisy from Democrats. Democrats. Here's a Democrat that, you know, rallied to release the Epstein files. Voted to release the Epstein files. And I thought what was interesting, recently his lawyers sent a letter to Cash Patel. I saw it on X, so I'm sure your, your folks can pull it up. So his lawyer send a letter to Cash Patel refusing to be transparent about the investigation as it related to Fang Fang and a Chinese spy. Because there was talk from AG Bondi and from Cash Patel. I guess there was some informant from the FBI that said that they were going to release these files. And so a letter from his lawyers to the FBI director saying, you absolutely cannot release these files. It's a violation of his rights. It's a violation of federal law. If you read the letter, they make all these legal assertions that if you, if you release these files and be transparent with the American people, we're going to sue you. So he, he wants transparency for the Epstein files, but he surely doesn't want transparency as it relates to a case that directly involved him and the information that. That would be transparent to the American people. So it's kind of interesting when you read the letter from his lawyers to the FBI director that they're going to get sued if they release this information really quickly here.
- [30:27]
Benny Johnson
You know, you've been one of these members of Congress who's constantly called for people to drop out if they've behaved criminally or immorally, including but not limited to members of the Florida delegation who embezzled FEMA funds. Ilhan Omar, what say you about Eric Swalwell? If it does turn out that he was preying on young staffers and we know he has a predilection for this. This is what the Fang Fang saga is all about. You know what should happen to him?
- [30:53]
Congressman Greg Steube
Well, those women, once, whoever they are, they should file a. An investigative report and a complaint with the Ethics Committee. And then the Ethics Committee does an investigation, and, and then the House as a body can hold him accountable for whatever he did or did not do. That's the process. That's the way it should happen. And I've respected that with Sheila McCormick in Florida as it relates to this $5 million she stole, like, two years ago. The investigation has gone on for two years, but I respected the Ethics Committee, their process, their investigation. She's now been found guilty of 25 of 27 different charges against her. And when we get back, the Ethics Committee will meet and determine a recommendation for what should happen to her. She stole $5 million of taxpayer dollars. I can't think that they won't recommend she be expelled. And then I'll call up a motion to have her expelled. We have a higher level of accountability, and the Ethics Committee is charged with the responsibility of doing that. So these women that allege something occurred should file a complaint with the Ethics Committee and let them investigate it. It doesn't sound like he'll be around. I guess he's running. I don't know if in California you can run for governor and run for Congress at the same time. You can't do that in Florida. So it may, it may be mute, but they should file a complaint with the Ethics Committee and then all of that factual basis and that information, once the investigation is done, will be released to the public.
- [32:12]
Benny Johnson
Do you believe that if he's found, you know, if he's found to be preying on congressional staff, that he should drop out of Congress, that he should be potentially kicked out of Congress.
- [32:23]
Congressman Greg Steube
Yeah, that's a violation of our ethical obligations. It's very clear that you can't have relationships with people who work for you, and there should be accountability for that.
- [32:32]
Benny Johnson
Okay. And what about the governor's race? You're a politician. You know, you know the dynamic dynamics of these things. And you can, I guess, suppose you run in Florida, but you can suppose what it's like in California. I think this is a career killer if these do play out.
- [32:46]
Congressman Greg Steube
Yeah, you would think. I. I don't remember who else is running in that race, but you would certainly think. But again, it's California. I mean, they elected Gavin Newsom, and the things that they do in California are definitely, like, not like what we do here and the free state of Florida. So it'll be interesting to watch it play out and whether Democrats think that that's something that makes him unable to get elected governor over there. But we'll see. It's California, so crazy things happen over there.
- [33:12]
Benny Johnson
Okay. You know, you never heard any rumors like this of Swalwell in the. In the House. Have you heard anything like this?
- [33:19]
Congressman Greg Steube
No, I'm not in the rumor mill.
- [33:21]
Benny Johnson
Yeah, that's right. Not in the cruise that you hang. That is a huge mark to your credit, Congressman, that you do not, like, hang out with Eric Swalwell. So well done. You've saved yourself a lot of trouble. The congressman. I've actually seen the congressman on a plane headed back to his district. That's where he likes to live, here in the beautiful western side of Florida in. In God's country, truly. And. And getting out of the swamp. This is where the congressman likes.
- [33:46]
Congressman Greg Steube
I am only in the swamp as. As little as I have to be to vote. And then I get home.
- [33:51]
Benny Johnson
That's right.
- [33:52]
Congressman Greg Steube
To the free state of Florida.
- [33:54]
Benny Johnson
Thank you very much, Congressman. Godspeed, and we'll be praying for our troops tonight. Thank you.
- [33:58]
Congressman Greg Steube
Yeah. Good to see you, Benny.

The Redemption arc. And an apology from us to Sheriff Chad Bianco. He joins us live once again right now. It is our fault. We are moving studios. We've built a new studio. We were going to announce this at a different time, but we've built a new studio and we had a broken microphone here in the studio. We actually were able to do a full swap out of that in the time that we played a quick clip. We fixed it. We apologize to The Sheriff. He's joining us live right now. We have him ready to go, ladies and gentlemen. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. Of course, of course. Classic team. Tell me when we have the Sheriff, but we'll explain to you. We are moving studio. We're going to announce this at a different time, but we have built a brand new studio with a ton of new functions. We're very excited about it. We're in the middle of a studio migration right now and moving everything. And so what that did was it actually. What that did was it actually messed with our microphone set up here. And having a busted mic is what caused a audio problem earlier in the show. And so we apologize to the Sheriff. We apologize to you as an audience for that. We wish to deliver excellence in every single broadcast. And we're sorry that we didn't deliver in the first couple minutes of the show. Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen. Chair the redemption arc from our mistake is Sheriff Chad Bianco joining us live right now. Sheriff, we've built a brand new studio, and so we apologize. We had an errant microphone that corrupted the last broadcast. We apologize for that. You're loud and clear.
- [35:47]
Cheyenne Hunt
That's quite all right.
- [35:48]
Unknown Male Correspondent
Good.
- [35:48]
Sheriff Chad Bianco
Very good.
- [35:49]
Benny Johnson
Loud and clear now. So. So Sheriff Eric Swalwell. Did you know about this? Is this a rumor?
- [35:56]
Congressman Greg Steube
Is it.
- [35:56]
Benny Johnson
Did people know that this was happening behind the scenes?
- [36:00]
Sheriff Chad Bianco
I think it's been rumored out there for a long time. And it's not like controversy, especially with women. Haven't followed him throughout his career. The bad part about putting people in power who have no morals and have no integrity or eth.
- [36:15]
Benny Johnson
This.
- [36:15]
Sheriff Chad Bianco
These are the things that happen. And telling a. A woman that they have to sign an NDA to put up with being victimized is absolutely morally
- [36:28]
Mark Geist
wrong.
- [36:34]
Benny Johnson
Yep, the sheriff's got a. Got a phone call there. Yep.
- [36:38]
Unknown Male Correspondent
Good.
- [36:38]
Benny Johnson
Sheriff. All right. What?
- [36:40]
Sheriff Chad Bianco
Did I lose you any.
- [36:41]
Benny Johnson
Yep. We got you back, though. Loud and clear. What should happen next? Should Eric Swalwell drop out?
- [36:49]
Sheriff Chad Bianco
Benny.
- [36:50]
Congressman Greg Steube
Yeah.
- [36:50]
Sheriff Chad Bianco
I think I lost you.
- [36:51]
Benny Johnson
Okay. We can reconnect here. It's just one of those shows, ladies and gentlemen. We can reconnect. We're just going to do it live. I'm just going to wait. We're going to be patient. We're going to let the production team reconnect with the sheriff, and we're not going to. We're not going to lose this one. Got a live one on the line. We're not going to lose it, ladies and gentlemen, we'll reconnect with the sheriff here in Just one moment. God bless all of you for sticking with us. What a morning for blackout coffee. The blackout coffee, it fills my mug every single morning. And we needed our coffee this morning. Blackout coffee is made right here in the great state of Florida. Blackout coffee is made by people who love freedom, that want to give you the energy to fight the communists. And the communists are at the city gate and inside of the walls. Quite frankly, blackout coffee is how I power ourselves every morning, especially mornings like this, when not only am I sick, but also we're having technical difficulties as we move our studios. We thank you for sticking with us. We thank blackout coffee for being a longtime supporter of the program. You can get blackout coffee today. Go to blackout coffee.com Benny. Use the code Benny for 20% off your first order. That's blackout coffee.com Benny. Support American Jobs and celebrate 250 years of freedom. Drink blackout coffee today. Tastes incredible. And every sip feels like fighting the communists. I have some right now. All right, let me know when the sheriff is back on. If the sheriff is back on, we toss him over. Otherwise, team, what are we looking at? Yeah. Okay, so we got a phone call from the sheriff. It looks like this is what happens sometimes when you're doing the hit from your phone and the phone call disconnects. All right, so production team, just going to need direction here. Should we head on over to Mark Oz Geist? Yep. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, we are really honored to have guest on who is a absolute legend. Mark Geist is a Marine veteran. He's the survivor of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack. He's somebody who can truly speak to what it's like to be left behind. Is a retired U.S. marine. He co authored the 13 Hours Benghazi Attack Timeline that was turned into an unbelievable movie and one of the best movies I think ever made. Quite frankly, it'll make your blood boil. He provides absolute clarity and insight into how things can go wrong when the leadership in Washington D.C. is not decisive and is not supporting the troops. And so it is our great honor to have Mark live on the show right now. Mark, thank you so much for joining us. We deeply appreciate your insight into what happened over the last 72 hours in Iran and how perilous this mission was. We've spent the entire show sort of detailing the differences between Benghazi and this mission, but we weren't there and you were. And so perhaps you could elucidate for our audience what are. What are the differences between this Iran rescue and what you experienced in Benghazi
- [40:10]
Mark Geist
Biggest and best part of it is that the difference is that we had an administration that wasn't afraid to go in and send in whatever it took to make sure that we bring home our guys alive.
- [40:24]
Benny Johnson
So you believe that the difference is the leadership in Washington, D.C. yeah, most definitely.
- [40:29]
Mark Geist
Both in the. In the White House as well as at State Department. You have two people there that are willing to make the. The hard decisions and put forth the efforts that need to be. Need to be put forth when men and women of this country are at peril.
- [40:48]
Benny Johnson
What was it like in Benghazi? I know that I've. I've seen the movie. I've seen it a couple times. I've read the book. I cannot encourage you enough to go back and read it. I think that, quite frankly, there's a reason why Hillary Clinton isn't president today, that this is it.
- [41:04]
Mark Geist
Yeah, I think so, too. I think this was. Benghazi was more significant, I think, than what people realize is not only what happened there at Benghazi, but from the investigation that ensued. Because that investigation from what happened in Benghazi is where.
- [41:21]
Benny Johnson
Full send Golf. You guys know how much I really, really love golf, and I think every week would be dope to post on the Golf Channel. I want to get a lot of guests on here. Saleem's gonna take leap. I'm down to be in it. It's not really work to play golf. Join the party on the golf course. I was like, let's go to the range. So what are we putting on it? We said 10k, right? 10k.
- [41:38]
Congressman Greg Steube
All right.
- [41:38]
Benny Johnson
We probably bet more than all the other golf channels. 10K, nine holes. Those guys bet for, like, cookies. Feel like I'm a shank. This guy's been trading like a Navy SEAL when it comes to golf. I'm very, very excited. You excited?
- [41:47]
Congressman Greg Steube
Yeah.
- [41:47]
Benny Johnson
Bullsend Golf. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
- [41:51]
Mark Geist
They found out that she had the email server, the private email server that she was doing government business on. And I think the two of those concept, you know, together are what really, really pushed the American people into coming out and voting for President Trump.
- [42:11]
Benny Johnson
Did you know, what was it like being abandoned there? You know, what, what did that feel like? Can you tell us that? First person perspective to just have all the, you know, the hours tick by and you're just under constant attack. You're being hunted to the death, and nobody's there to help you, you know,
- [42:29]
Mark Geist
And I think I maybe look at it different than what a lot of people would is at that time when you're in the fight, you're not thinking about being left behind. You're just thinking about taking care of business and making sure that the guys and gals to your left and right and those that you're protecting make it home safe. And we are, you know, our team was willing to do whatever it took to make sure that they got home safe. And that was our mission at that time. If they weren't going to send stuff, then that would have been great. But if they don't, then, you know what? We're going to fight till the last person and make sure that the people that we're protecting make it home to their families.
- [43:08]
Benny Johnson
Yes, but you felt completely and totally abandoned by the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton.
- [43:13]
Mark Geist
Yeah, yeah, we were. I mean, and to me, and it's not a surprise, I mean, I was a private military contractor that worked for the CIA. You know, I. There's the. There's. There's the bottom, there's where whales swim, and then there's the ocean floor. We're usually down on the ocean floor. When it comes to priority of survival, it's horrible.
- [43:39]
Benny Johnson
Can you contrast that? Like, can you contrast what you experienced, which is inaction at best, total and complete paralysis and inaction when America could have come in and truly, like, very aggressively supported you. Can you contrast that with what you witnessed from the operation this weekend?
- [44:03]
Mark Geist
Well, you know, that's what's amazing about the operation that happened this weekend is, you know, to me, looking back into 1979 when we sent Delta Force, or the beginnings of Delta Force into Iran to rescue the hostages that were taken. They flew deep into Iran, aircraft ended up getting damaged, so they couldn't complete their mission.
- [44:26]
Benny Show Rapper
They.
- [44:27]
Mark Geist
They had to pull back out. Well, dusting off that plan and coinciding that with what happened to o', Grady, a pilot who got shot down in Bosnia in the 90s, those two things were put together. The plans that rescued him and the plan that happened then, I think were melded together and is what really put it all together because, you know, we went in deep into territory, we built an airport, basically. We landed aircraft from there. We deployed special operations units to go in and where he was actually at, pull him out, get him back and pull things out. I mean, it was amazing that it happened and that it was so. Well. And I mean, hats off to the people that planned it, the people that executed it. And it just shows you the capabilities of America with the right leadership, the American military person. People.
- [45:23]
Benny Johnson
Yes. Do you believe, Mark, that I Know, this is a tough question, but do you believe that American lives would have been saved if President Trump had been present during Benghazi?
- [45:34]
Mark Geist
I do. I do. I. You know, I don't know that it would have made a difference with the ambassador and Sean and his assistant that got killed, but it definitely would have made a difference on whether or not that Shaw or Tyrone woods and Glen Doherty would have got killed next to me. Because, you know, that's from what, eight hours, ten hours when, by the time we got in, right, by the time I got injured, it was about 5 o' clock in the morning when the final attack happened and they lobbed in 81 millimeter mortars that landed on our building and, and went through me and killed Ty and Glenn that were standing next to me.
- [46:20]
Benny Johnson
What is your, what is your message to the troops? I mean, you've obviously seen enormous amount of combat risk your life for your country. You know, there's a tumultuous time out there. As a seasoned veteran, as somebody who's, you know, put your life at risk, what is your message to the troops and to the regular Americans who sort of watching from the sidelines here, you
- [46:42]
Mark Geist
know, trust your leadership, especially the leadership we have right now and the leadership that we have in the Department of War, because that's where it's going to happen. We're going to take care of our people. We've seen it time and again from this president, from this administration, and know that you are fighting and protecting the greatest country in the world, and you're just one apparatus of that. Because what we have is warfare in a different way now is being orchestrated by this administration, whether it be through the tariffs and it be trade warfare, whether it be through what's going on in Iran, both the direct action, but then the indirect action. And what is happening the Straits of Hormuz and how Lloyd's of London has always been the shipping insurance company. Well, now that the straits are back, are backed up, and Lloyd's of London doesn't want to insure shipping going through there. President Trump has come out and said that he is open to doing that and we ensure that which Lloyds of London has always ensured global maritime shipping and that control could be taken from, from them and then put into the hands of the United States, just empowers us, broadens us into a greater, you know, a greater country than what we are. And then we also have to look back at what it's doing to China. You have the Belt Road initiative that runs right through Iran, that Runs through the Caspian Sea. All of this coincides. It's not just isolated to what's going on in Iran right now. And all these things that are taking place have to be taken into consideration on what happens in Iran is going to affect what. What goes on in Africa, where. What goes on in China, how China responds and how we can degradate China's influence in the world.
- [48:39]
Benny Johnson
Will you help with the screenwriting potentially for turning this one into a movie? Be pretty incredible arc, Mark, if you could do the 13 hours movie plus whatever. Whatever we would want to title that in Ira. I guess. 72 hours. I mean, crazy, man.
- [48:58]
Mark Geist
I think, you know, here's something about that is. What's amazing is Good Friday is when they got shot down and we.
- [49:16]
Benny Johnson
Ladies and gentlemen. Hey, Mark. Hey. Are you still with me? Yep.
- [49:19]
Mark Geist
Yep.
- [49:20]
Benny Johnson
Sorry about that. You froze for. You froze for just a moment. Could you. Could you continue that thought, Mark?
- [49:24]
Mark Geist
Yeah, because so on Good Friday, we, you know, they went missing and were shot down. But on Resurrection Day, we were able to bring him home.
- [49:33]
Benny Johnson
That's right.
- [49:33]
Mark Geist
I think there's a correlation there.
- [49:35]
Benny Johnson
That's right. Exactly. Yes, there is. That. That God is real and he's still moving in the world. That perhaps he has a sense of rhyme and humor and a mathematical equation that sort of unites everything. And that he's asking us to see these patterns and hope that we pick up on them.
- [49:52]
Mark Geist
It's been amazing title for the movie Resurrection.
- [49:55]
Benny Johnson
Yeah, that would be an amazing title for the movie. I hope that you're involved in that project. The 13 Hours movie was compelling and chilling and I still revisit it to this day. We thank you for your work. We thank you for your service and thank you, Mark. We hope that you're back all the time when we're in our new studio and we have our new systems built. But thank you, sir.
- [50:15]
Mark Geist
Hey, thank you for having me on, Benny. It's always an honor and a pleasure.
- [50:19]
Benny Johnson
God bless you, Mark.
- [50:20]
Mark Geist
Thank you too. God bless.
- [50:28]
Benny Johnson
Just one of those days, you know, where you just. Just one of those days where you just like kind of what? You just keep rolling, right? You just keep rolling with it. You get thrown a couple curveballs and you just keep rocking, baby. Okay. Building some new systems today after this. What do we say at the start of the show? Blessed are the peacemakers. Bring us peace, Lord. Bring us peace. Help us not deliver death and destruction unto this world, but help us deliver a more peaceful world and a world where your life can be. Where your life and Your creation can flourish. That's why we partner with Preborn, ladies and gentlemen, on this program. Preborn is just one of the most important companies I think, out there. That's not really a company. It's more like a movement, a movement of morality, a movement of dignity, a movement of life. And this incredible organization uses the miracle of ultrasound technology to show young expectant mothers who may be in dire situations, the heartbeat of their newborn baby, the life that is growing inside of them, delivering compassion, love, even starting inside of the womb. And as the scriptures say, I knit you together inside of the womb, ladies and gentlemen, for just $28, you can provide one ultrasound to an expectant mother. In April alone, potentially 11,000 babies could be saved through the Preborn Network clinic. Can you help? $140 Sponsors 5 Ultrasounds for mothers in crisis. Everydollar helps save unborn babies. Share the hope of the gospel. To donate, dial £250. Say the keyword baby. That's £250 or say baby. Visit preborn.combenny. that's preborn.combenny. all right, ladies and gentlemen, it has been quite a show and we apologize once again. We were planning on announcing this at a different date, but we are moving studios. We are building a brand new studio. We're very, very excited about it. And in that. What happened this morning is in that transition to a new studio, we're swapping out a bunch of equipment and we had a broken piece of equipment. And so we're sorry for the, again, technical difficulty of the morning. And we'll close it out here with a poll on California election results. What does it look like? Well, you can see that Eric Swalwell has just completely and totally collapsed in the election results, potentially election probability here in California. Yeah, that's pretty bad right there.
- [53:25]
Congressman Greg Steube
Whoa.
- [53:26]
Benny Johnson
Tom Steyer is skyrocketing up. You have Steve Hilton get a little bit of a bounce. But yeah, you can see the. The, the news of today is critical, reaching critical mass for Eric Swalwell and boy, a long time coming. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God. That is our verse of the day. We hope that it is followed through in the administration. We know there are some rock ribbed Christians in the administration and we hope that they heed this message from our Lord and Savior. We pray for our troops and those in harm's way. We thank you for your support and for your constant return to help encourage us and to strengthen us and to bring, ladies and gentlemen, about Christ in this world. And that's really what we're looking for. It's amazing. I said goodbye to my little children I said to goodbye to my little children this morning and I was really like completely and totally and wholly reminded as to why we do all of this. So like if there's a glitch or if there's a microphone problem here and there, like it really doesn't matter. Like what we're trying to. What we're trying to build and what we're trying to effort is to own Christ's name and to declare him on this earth so that he will own us in heaven. I just read the scripture actually last night. I'm just, I'm like reading through the gospels again. It's amazing how I just keep like you just keep returning to them and if you declare me before men, then I will declare you before my Father in heaven. Christ says and that's what we're trying to build for, like for our children, for God's creation and here. And so quite frankly we, we give it up to God. We hope for peace this evening. We'll see what happens. Be quite a day. Stay tuned and stay with us. March with us onto victory. It is assured for us because Christ is king and risen and alive. It's your boy Benny. See ya.
