And, man, the iron law of wokeness remains true that what you accuse people of, you yourself are guilty of the weapon that you form shall be used against you. Pride cometh before destruction.

Annapolina Luna, friend of the show, just dropped a thermonuclear radioactive bombshell that Iran would be very jealous of. About Eric Swalwell live on Fox News. This may be why Cash Patel is demanding all available information on Eric Swalwell. It may well turn out that Eric Swalwell will no longer be not only in Congress, but certainly not in the governor's mansion of California, but may not even be a free man by the end of the year. We'll see. And we'll talk about it all on the show. Trump's blockade is forcing Iran to consider returning to negotiations. Turns out that the largest tactical uno reverse card ever played in human history is working out. Expelled member of Congress George Santos will join our show.

You get to resign with dignity for those. Congress is fine with that. They have a slush fund for you. Don't worry. We talked about it all day yesterday. You got a slush fund. Senator Ron Johnson on the show and the Internet's favorite, Nick Fritus joins the show as well. My name is Benny Johnson and this is the Benny Show.

We have a couple of top line economic numbers we'd love to share with you. But things are hopefully going to be ticking up here domestically. That's been the order of the show.

That's 885-281-2219americanfinancing.net Benny Ladies and gentlemen, we have some very, very bad news for Eric Swalwell. Allegedly, Eric Swalwell has been caught with underaged women. And we're going to get into who's making these allegations and where they come from. They come from a critical source and somebody who has the receipts, let's just say. But we have one receipt that we thought was extremely charming this morning. It's Eric Swalwell's. And it's kind of interesting because the red flags were always there, really, when you look at it, the frosted tips, right? This like spiky hair gel look, the butt head look. Guys who had hairstyles like this in 1999 are either all in rehab or prison. And Eric Swalwell will most likely be in both by the time this is all over. But I don't want to bring your attention to the douchebag haircut. I want to bring your attention right, right down to the quote that Eric Swalwell has given here for his senior motto and the motto upon which he would live the rest of his life. Please zoom in, Klein, if you would. Senior quote. When you can't have it, you must take it. This is Eric Swalwell, ladies and gentlemen. And you know, most people don't live by their senior Quotes. At least Eric Swalwell did, in fact, live by his senior quote. Eric Swalwell did take it. Do we have the footage of him in the hotel room? Go ahead and pop that up. Here's Eric Swalwell taking it from a adult entertainment professional. It's the place. Polite way to say it. This is a. Something that is going to be a matter of criminal record because allegedly the person filming this or some of the girls that were present in this video. And there's much speculation to be made as to whether the individual here with the beard, that scene also leering. The quality leering center right there. That guy. Many are speculating as to whether that is a senator from Arizona. We're not exactly sure. We sure are going to ask questions about that and perhaps find out. Ladies and gentlemen, Anna Polina Luna has a bombshell revelation about this that she made public on Fox News last night. Jesse Waters show. Anna Paulina Luna, who's been, of course, calling for Eric Swalwell to resign. She actually said that this moments ago. Congressman Swalwell has not resigned. With the clerk of the house by 2pm today. I will continue my resolution regarding his expulsion. His statement about plan to resign his seat is not binding and is wormy. The same goes for Tony Gonzalez. Eric Swalwell has announced that he will be resigning his seat. And he announced that he will be stepping away from. From the governor's race in California. Thank you, Klein, for. This is exactly what I wanted, because I want to read you a line from this. I will fight these serious false allegations that have been made. But it's my fight, not my campaigns. Okay, sounds good. From the PR team. Problem is, one, we have the video, and here's literally, here's video of you using congressional dollars. There is no doubt. You got to understand how these things work. There's no like, he's there. Wherever he is, he's doing a congressional fundraiser. His campaign funds are paying for this hotel room. His campaign funds are paying for his security detail. Was the hooker paid with his campaign funds? This is how Hunter Biden operated. All of this is, of course, criminal and illegal. Now we find out that Eric Swalwell is paying his Brazilian nanny, who's an illegal immigrant, under the table with campaign funds. And, uh. And you're telling me that his hooker wasn't paid with campaign funds? Okay, okay. I was. I was born, but I wasn't born. Yesterday, Elon Musk, responding to Eric Swalwell's resignation, dropping out of the California governor's race with one of the greatest responses in the history of the Internet, bro. You should definitely fight those false allegations, especially all the videos of you doing weird shit with hookers. Can you scroll down? I didn't know that Elon responded to Maze here. Let's go ahead and look here. The poor Chinese spy that got Swalwell. The Swalwell assignment. A definition of taking one for the team. Oh, that's brutal.

[George Santos]

Okay.

[Benny Johnson]

True, though, honestly. So Anapolina Luna says that this video is a real problem for Eric Swalwell. Not just because it's creepy and not just because it's humiliating, and not just because he was married at the time with children, but also because there are underage women in this video. I'll let the congresswoman speak for herself. She says that she's received the original. She's confirmed all of the metadata from inside of the video. Obviously, there are deep fakes and there's AI we use AI pretty regularly at this show. We make funny jokes and memes about all this. You just watched one Eric Swalwell in hell. But no, this is a real video and it's not been some. Some people disputed. Perhaps it was a deep fake or an AI fake. Nope, it's real. Does it really include the senator from Arizona? Well, I'm going to ask the senator from Wisconsin that when Ron Johnson's on the show. But let's go ahead and listen to the congresswoman from Florida, not too far from where we're broadcasting right now. Anapolina Luna. Do us.

[Anna Paulina Luna]

Do us proud, I'll say, is that many people on the Hill knew about this, many reporters have come forward, even in talking to me, saying that they had heard stories about this. But I do think that he has serious criminal problems on his hand, and I do think that he might end up in jail. Jesse. And if I could just share with you for a moment, not only did I receive forensic reporting showing that, you know, that infamous video of him in the hotel room was indeed him, it was not AI generated. But I'm also being told that a more stuff is going to be dropping in the next 24 hours. And then also potentially, the individual that recorded that video in that hotel room, Jesse, was a female and she was underage.

[Vince Colonnades]

Oh.

[Benny Johnson]

Just so the audience is aware, there's a video that's circulating.

[George Santos]

Fox hasn't confirmed it yet.

[Benny Johnson]

It appears to show Swallow on a

[George Santos]

bed, maybe another guy making out with a girl.

[Benny Johnson]

That's it.

[George Santos]

That's all we know.

[Benny Johnson]

But if what you're saying is true, and we don't know but if that's true, that is.

[George Santos]

That is very, very, very bad news.

[Benny Johnson]

But back up.

[George Santos]

You're saying reporters on the Hill knew

[Benny Johnson]

Swalwell was a shade ball but didn't investigate because why? Because he was a Democrat.

[Anna Paulina Luna]

I don't know why they didn't push this further. I think that there's a lot of kind of back scratching taking place on the Hill happening within our own party as well. But, yes, they knew about it. They did not report on it. And you're seeing now that. I mean, I don't know about you, Jesse, but I don't have 50 staffers, let alone 50 staffers that would come out and say that this is wrong and that you need to resign from office. Right. So it was clearly a pattern. And as you're seeing with some of the text messages coming out, and I think, again, with this criminal investigation, there's a lot there with him. So, yes, he resigned, I think, to maybe save his family going through this. But ultimately, at the end of the day, when he did what he decided to do just based on the grounds of him having an inappropriate relationship with a staffer. But now we're looking at the criminal activity. And I stand by what I said because I saw again the forensics report of that video. And if that is true, I would suggest that the Manhattan DA look into that.

[Benny Johnson]

Well, you know, it's interesting because Annapolina Luna, who, you know is just one of those receipts people, she just tends to have the receipts. Turns out that the Manhattan DA is looking into it. Manhattan District Attorney Launches Investigation into Sexual Assault Allegations against Eric Swalwell from cnn. Oh, no, wait till you see the corporate press and how they are turning on Eric Swalwell since he dared try and run for governor of California. And I'm just gonna. Please allow me to just pause for just a moment for anybody who may have missed the show yesterday or doesn't understand exactly what's happening here. They're bidening Eric Swalwell. He doesn't have dementia. He has perversia, whatever you want to call it, you know, pedophilia. But, you know, it's always the guys who banged on the very most about Epstein.

[George Santos]

Right?

[Benny Johnson]

It's always the guys that always went after Epstein the very hardest were the guilty of the same thing. I mean, you have Annapolina Luna saying there are underage women there in that video and it's all going to come out. And there's far worse that's about to come out on Eric Swalwell. Just a reminder of Course, he's also a member of the Intel Committee. They're all sending their best. As President Trump would say, this guy's a member of the Intel Committee. Manhattan DA launches investigation into sexual assault allegation against Eric Swalwell because it occurred in Manhattan, maybe because the girls were underage. How hard does it have to be to take Alvin Bragg to go investigate Eric Swalwell? And why drop it now. The position of the show is very clear. We don't claim to be really like smarter than anybody else. Our superpower is simply pattern recognition and having and not being a sweet summer child. We have clear eyes about how duplicitous and evil, power hungry, absolute power gobbling demons that run frankly both parties and that's just a reality. It's too bad we're fighting them in the Republican Party, but the ones in the Democrat party are ship shape. I mean they are elite. If you are going to cost the party power, they'll kill you. They'll just kill you. And they did this to Biden. They forced, you know, Joe Biden says I'm not dropping out. You don't run the rodeo pal. You ain't running this pop stand. You have us confused with somebody else. Yes, you are dropping out. Let us make that exceedingly clear. They Trump tried to take their power, shot him in the head, tried to shoot him again on the golf course, tried to kill him like 15 times. Eric Swalwell was this close to winning the California gubernatorial runoff race. Meaning he would have been in a jungle primary. Wins the jungle primary. He would have been up against the second tier vote getter that would have most likely been a Republican. Swalwell would have split the Democrat ticket, very weak Democrat ticket. And then Swalwell would have run directly up against these allegations before you could do any takesy backsies. They knew that Swalwell was damaged goods and he was about to cost them the Democrat race. So they stole it from him in California. This is them stealing it from Swalwell. And I'm saying Swallow didn't deserve this. But Swalwell, they knew this about Eric Swalwell. It's all on video. It was probably being monitored and filmed by the CIA, by the NSA, by the FBI. Remember that creepy defensive briefing they gave Kevin McCarthy? Swalwell was a mark. They already had this guy dead to. They already had everything they needed on him. It's like a, you know, J. Edgar Hoover dream all wrapped up with a bow on it. So why didn't they drop this when he was running for Congress. Why didn't they drop it when he was running for Intel Committee? Why didn't they drop it when he was going on MSNBC every single day? When they drop it when he was running for president. When did they drop it? When Eric Swalwell announced he was going to be in the California governor's race. They only drop it when they were sure that Eric Swalwell was going to threaten their power. They don't care. Listen, if there weren't two strong Republicans running in California, they would have never dropped this oppo file or dropped it some other, you know, dropped it some other time years down the road when he also threatened the party power. This is repulsive, grotesque, vomit inducing party politics again. They're just doing the same thing they did to Biden. They're getting the inconvenient guy that they knew was going to lose out of the way. If there was a clean shot and there were no real Republicans running in California, they would have let this pervert, they would have let this predator, they were, let this potential pedophile. I don't know. I don't know. Do you believe Anna Planoluna? They would have let him run California. They would have let him run for president as long as they were the calculus, as long as the metrics and the tables showed that he was going to keep winning. But the moment they got wind that he was going to lose them, the California governor, they stole it from him. They stole this. They stole this election from Eric Swalwell. That's what they did. Ooh. Oh, it's evil. It's a level of evil that is hard for nor for mortals to comprehend. Pure demon energy here, ladies and gentlemen. We're thrilled to have Nick Fres on. Let me just, let me just make one final point that I want to talk with Nick about. It's always these guys, ain't it? Listen to Eric Swalwell on Epstein. Oh, Eric Swalwell now accused of videos with underage girls. From Anna Paulina Luna live on Fox News last night. So it was viral clip on the Internet now being investigated criminally for these acts. Eric Swalwell was the one who was constantly banging on about Jeffrey Epstein. We covered Jeffrey Epstein on here. Jeffrey Epstein. These guys need to go to prison. That was doing this stuff with Epstein. But like, isn't this as bad or worse? You know, there are now dozens of women out here, 50 staffers accusing Swalwell of this stuff. But it was Eric Swalwell in his armor like a white knight marching onto cnn. So sure of himself. Never in doubt. Eric Swalwell with his bag of skeletons in his closet, sitting there, virtue signaling with no virtue, talking about what a great man he is, how he would never abuse any women. Here we go. You don't have to be a father

[Senator Ron Johnson]

of a little girl to care about the women who were exploited in this case. Everyone is sickened by it.

[Benny Johnson]

I am a father of little girl.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

And my promise to the victims is

[Benny Johnson]

I will do everything, along with my colleagues on the Democratic side to seek

[Senator Ron Johnson]

justice in this case.

[Benny Johnson]

So just one more clip before we get to Nick, and I want to have Nick respond to this man. Throw Nick on. The accusers now. All speaking out. This is the only other new piece of news since yesterday. So now all the accusers are going public. They're all like, whoa, time to cash in. Time to finish out the opinion on Eric Swalwell. And so it's open season. And more importantly, they're saying that he needs to be incarcerated based on what they know. Reminder that Cash Patel is telling all of his victims to come to the FBI. Here we go. The fact that he has now dropped out of the governor's race and resigned from Congress, is that justice in your view? No, it's just the beginning. It's just the very beginning. And I know personally that we're not walking away from this fight.

[Anna Paulina Luna]

For me, justice won't be until he can't ever harm a woman ever again. And he has faced the consequences for

[Benny Johnson]

the women that he has harmed.

[Anna Paulina Luna]

I think in regards to the governor's race, he never should have ran for

[Benny Johnson]

governor to begin with, knowing the kind of history and receipts that are out there.

[Anna Paulina Luna]

So that's a non starter. And then in terms of Congress, I think he absolutely should have resigned. I think we just prevented another 30

[Benny Johnson]

to 40 years potentially of him harming people. Another 30 to 40 years of him harming people. Ladies and gentlemen, a man who sees things very clearly. Nick Freitas joins the show live right now. Yeah. Hey, Nick. What's going on, man? Thanks for coming on the show.

[Nick Freitas]

No, thanks for having me, Benny. It's an honor.

[Benny Johnson]

You know, you're a father. So it's very interesting to hear Eric Swalwell use the dad card now. I mean, you know, I'm a girl dad. I would never, never abuse. I've never abused young girls like this. What is with these people? Like, are they. Their path. It's pathological, right? If something gets something wrong with the. Something's wrong with their brains, I think

[Nick Freitas]

it's a completely different Worldview, in their worldview, they are the good guys. No matter what happens, they are the good guys. We are the bad guys. And so, excuse me, anything that allows them to keep, maintain or expand power is therefore useful. It's beneficial, it's okay. It's morally justifiable until it becomes inconvenient for the larger movement. Then all of a sudden, investigative journalists come out and 55 staffers come out, and now all of a sudden it's like, no, no, you're not our guy. You're not the one we've chosen to advance the movement. And so now you have to be taken down. But it just demonstrates that all of the moral outrage that's demonstrated from time to time by people like Swalwell, it's performative. It's not rooted in anything really genuine or intellectually consistent.

[Benny Johnson]

What do you believe should end up happening in a fair world to Eric Swalwell? I mean, obviously he's been humiliated. His career is over. But now some people are talking criminal charges. What's next?

[Nick Freitas]

Well, because I actually believe in the truth and due process of law, I think people should actually go for again, if you have accusations against Swalwell, take it to the proper authorities. Right. Because it's not just about achieving justice for yourself. It's also about ensuring this doesn't happen to somebody else, as was mentioned by one of the young women that were testifying there on the press. Take it to the FBI, take it to law enforcement, go through the proper process, and if he gets convicted in a court of law, he should serve the appropriate sentence for it. I think we should. I think we should throw the book at him. Just like Eric Swalwell would have recommended having the book thrown at others.

[Benny Johnson]

Can you talk a little bit about. And you're so good at this on, you know, your channels. But. And also, obviously, I'm sure you cover it in the man book, which is a brand new book that Nick has out and is available today, correct? Yes. Yep. So can you talk about the pathology of being so obsessed with victimhood, with being someone who's constantly attacking Donald Trump with ad hominems about Jeffrey Epstein and the actions that clearly weren't taken by Donald Trump? They're like, how does that work in the brain? What is that? What is that? What is a virtue? How. How are they so good at virtue signaling?

[George Santos]

Like, how.

[Benny Johnson]

How is that even possible, right, to get to break your brain like this?

[Nick Freitas]

Well, I think it's. It's interesting. My wife said it best once when she was talking about the left referencing the Constitution. She goes, the left references the Constitution the way an atheist references the Bible. It's not out of any inherent love for the document. It's like an atheist doesn't have any inherent love for the Bible, but they

[Benny Johnson]

know that we love it.

[Nick Freitas]

We know that. They know that it's valuable to us. They know that there's a certain intellectual consistency and logic to our worldview, that when we violate it, then justice is required. And so they can bring these things up. But then when they're in power, it doesn't apply to them because that's not their objective. They're not objective. Their objective is not to uphold objective biblical morality or to uphold the integrity of the Constitution. These are things that stand in the way of them being able to get the things they want, which is social justice.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Right.

[Nick Freitas]

It's about punishing the oppressors on behalf of the oppressed. And who are oppressors are oppressed? Whoever they've decided that day. And if you look at the way that they gain sympathy for their movement is they create victims. That's where you get into this whole concept of intersectionality.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Right?

[Nick Freitas]

Who's. Who's at the top of the moral pyramid on the left, Whoever can claim the most victim status from one day to the next. And one day it might be women, one day it might be minorities, one day it might be trans. But whoever gives them the most moral legitimacy and authority, that is what they'll use in order to achieve their objective, which is always get more political power. Because after all, the only way you're going to be able to correct for all these injustices is if Democrats have more power. But again, the only intellectual consistency that you'll see with that argument is the consolidation of power. Yes, you point out something else. It's like, oh, well, you know, that just doesn't matter as much now. In this case, the only reason it matters to them is because they're afraid of losing a general election and they have somebody else that they would prefer. And so now, all of a sudden, these standards mean something. But it's like in Virginia, Abigail Spamberger claiming she's a moderate. Well, yes, she claims that because it's useful for an election cycle, she doesn't intend to govern that way. She doesn't actually believe these things. Swalwell doesn't believe these things as evidenced by his actions. So again, the worldview is amazingly consistent. It's just not what they advertise. And I think that's what we need to wake up to.

[Benny Johnson]

I do find it amazing that these people loved taking. Love taking donations from Bill Gates and Reid Hoffman and Harvey Weinstein. And 70 million of them voted to put Bill Clinton back into the Oval Office. And they also had no problem with Eric Swalwell running for president. No, they had no problem with Eric swalwell running for 15 years. He was in Congress 10 years on the Intel Committee. What does that say exactly about an Intel Committee member, Nick? Like, you know, I want. I think we should just, like, pause for a second. So you're on the Intelligence Committee, you have a top secret clearance, and you're sitting there getting filmed with, like, mawing at a sex worker, like, in a hotel room. And according to what we hear, that's going to be. I mean, that's tame compared to what else they have. What does it say?

[Nick Freitas]

Well, again, if you were a service member, if you were a member of the. I used to have a top secret security clearance. And they do fairly intensive background checks on this sort of thing. And one of the things that they look for is the various things that could be used as leverage against you.

[Benny Johnson]

Why?

[Nick Freitas]

Because nobody wants you to be able to give, you know, critical information to a potential opponent of the United States because you were doing inappropriate things with Chinese spies or whoever else it might be. And yet this didn't seem to matter to the Democratic Party when they put Swalwell on there.

[Benny Johnson]

And.

[Nick Freitas]

And again, I'm no longer confused by any of it. None of it shocks me anymore. Because the moment you wake up to the fact that all of their morality is tied to getting power because they're the good guys, then, of course, they're able to excuse all kinds of inconsistent behavior. Now, on the right, that's not to say we don't have problems on the right as well, but you will generally see more division on the right because of it. It's because we wanna hold people to objective standards that apply to everybody, whereas they only wanna hold standards that, again, help them in the accumulation of power.

[Benny Johnson]

Accumulation of power is happening. Democrats have barely a majority in Virginia. You live in Virginia. Is that correct? You're a proud Virginia resident and a Virginia elected official. So it's like, what. What the hell is going on in that state? I can't believe every single day is a new, like, horror story headline out of. Out of Virginia. Is this what you get when you put, like, a CIA spook in charge of your state? Like, what's going on?

[Nick Freitas]

This is. This is what happens when 300,000 Republicans, who are understandably frustrated with the world decide that there's no difference between the parties. Yes, there is. Don't get me wrong. If you got frustrations with the Republican Party, line up, join the club. We're all there. If you've got problems with certain Republican officials, again, we're all there. But there is a massive difference between the parties and we're learning this the hard way in Virginia, that they will tell you whatever they need to do in order to get elected. What did they campaign on? Affordability. What did they decide to do as soon as they get in there? Well, refuse to work with ICE despite the fact that we actually have illegal immigrants in the Commonwealth actively killing Virginian citizens.

[George Santos]

Right.

[Nick Freitas]

They won't work with ice. They won't prosecute people. They actually tried to pass legislation that would prevent mandatory minimums from people that were actually creating and distributing child pornography. They had another bill that they submitted that was going to make it illegal for state agencies to try to guarantee that the federal funds that were being distributed out wouldn't go to people that were defrauding the government.

[George Santos]

Right.

[Nick Freitas]

Again, they see it as, once they get power, this is their chance to reward their friends and, and punish their enemies. And as we can see with what they're doing with the latest redistricting scheme, anybody in rural Virginia, anybody that's slightly to the right of Hillary Clinton, we're considered the enemy. And so for them, it's perfectly consistent and perfectly logical to punish us because we're all threats to democracy or we're all racist or sexist or misogynist. And they don't have to prove any of this. The only proof they require is we don't vote for them. But this is what happens. And what's happening in Virginia right now will be the model for the rest of the country. They will pick, you know, battleground states. They will find somebody that can run as a moderate. They will promise to do one thing on the campaign trail. But as soon as they've consolidated power, they're going to do exactly what you would expect a woke progressive to do. And that's what we're seeing in Virginia.

[Benny Johnson]

It's so sad because Virginia is just one of the most gorgeous days, has some incredible patriots. It's the birthplace of so many of our rights and real, the function of our society. And it's just horrible to see it go this way. Nick, we're really excited that you're announcing your gubernatorial run in Virginia here live on the show. So well done. I've actually have written you your first check and so it's in the mail. You should potentially write a check to Nick for his new book, the Man Book, A Point by Point Guide to Sucking it up and Getting the Job Done. And also follow Nick on social media here and on his Instagram, which I'm a huge fan of. God bless you, Nick. Thank you.

[Nick Freitas]

Thank you, Benny.

[Benny Johnson]

George Santos, ladies and gentlemen, joining us via phone live right now. George, thank you so much for being on the program. I want to begin by giving you the floor your message to Eric Swalwell today.

[George Santos]

George, good riddance. I mean, look, Benny, it's. You've been doing such great coverage of this and I'm sorry that I'm not here with the great news on aliens, but I am here on great full send golf.

[Benny Johnson]

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.

[George Santos]

I'm down to be in it.

[Benny Johnson]

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. All right. We probably bet more than all the other golf channels, right? 10K, nine holes. Those guys bet for like cookies. I feel like I'm a shank it.

[George Santos]

This guy's been trading like a Navy seal. It comes to golf, I'm very, very excited.

[Benny Johnson]

You excited?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Yeah.

[Benny Johnson]

Bullsen Golf. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

[George Santos]

I am here with great news for your audience on talking about what we just experienced yesterday. Yesterday for the first time, I think in a very long time, Congress started to take out the trash and it was a self self purge of sorts where Eric Swalwell talk about the largest collapse of a political darling in history. It took all of 48 hours to pull one thread and his entire kingdom of 13 years in politics unraveled so quickly. And the beautiful part of it is it was almost a two for one because as he unraveled, he took Tony Gonzalez with him. So we rid ourselves of two awful human beings in the House of Representatives. Two people who literally took their their position in their office and exploited it to literally gain sexual favorite from their subordinates. So this is a great starting point and I think there's so much more room for discussion and there's so many other people in Congress that need to go and I think this is a great starting point for the American people. I do believe this and I will leave this prediction here, you will not have that same benefit with Sheila Shaivelis McCormick, the FEMA queen accused of stealing $5 million who previously had gotten a sweetheart deal to pay the money back for her, quote, honest mistake over a course of 10 years. She now is indicted and facing a potential trial down, down the line. If she resigns, that's an admission of guilt that would be used against her by the DOJ at trial. So I do believe we're going to see at least one expulsion, and that is of Sheila Shaifelis McCormick. And I do believe there's going to be another attempt at expelling Congressman Corey Mills. But I just don't think they have the votes and I don't think they have enough probable cause to expel Mills. But there will be an attempt there,

[Benny Johnson]

and I strongly believe so. George, you know, we went back and checked the tape. Eric Swalwell was the first guy on the floor demanding your resignation, demanding that you get kicked out of Congress. Can you tell me about, like, perhaps the differences between the way that the two of you were treated? I hear that you bought a handbag or something like that.

[George Santos]

Yeah, karma is a absolute.

[Benny Johnson]

You can say it like. Yeah, you can say it.

[George Santos]

Karma's a bitch. You know, look, he. It wasn't, it wasn't too long ago, shortly after President Trump gave me clemency and commuted my sentence, my outrageous sentence, might I add. He was on TV saying that, you know, Democrats have been asking for the Epstein files for over a year and all that Trump release was Jorge Santos.

[Benny Johnson]

I mean, yes. Yep.

[George Santos]

You know, I will absolutely be ready, Willy, and able to walk Eric Swalwell into the federal prison he reports to when he reports to it, because we know that that's happening. There's a press conference happening earlier later today at 9:00am Pacific Time of one of one more accuser coming forward with an entire law group behind her. So I think that there's many more shoes left to drop Benny. On, on, on, Eric. And projection is the word of the day for Eric Swalwell.

[Benny Johnson]

He was obsessed. Now, he was obsessed with the Epstein files and ad hominem attacks against Republicans and Donald Trump and calling them every nasty word in the book in the English language. Yet it turns out, according to Annapolina Luna last night, that it was him who was having dealings with underaged women, according to it videotape. What do you say about that?

[George Santos]

Yeah, so I've been, I've been in the back channels talking to a lot of people, including the congresswoman. There's this massive allegation that I. I haven't been able to 100 verify yet, but I believe the congresswoman has that the videographer of that very infamous video with the. The escorts happens to potentially be a minor or was a minor at the time of the occurrence. So you're looking at some very serious issues here. And look, I wouldn't be shocked if underage activity starts coming forward when a man goes down a rabbit hole this dark, this deep. Benny, I think there's a lot more to be uncovered. This is the tip of the iceberg, in my opinion. And the sad part is that I think the American people deserve to know is Democrat leadership knew. Republicanship leaders knew. And so did the Washington, D.C. press corps know about Eric's behavior. And it's funny how nobody ever did anything. It's very frustrating.

[Benny Johnson]

Yes, we believe that that's simply because of politics. They just pulled a Biden on the guy. As soon as he became electoral toxins for the party. They just got rid of him.

[Nick Freitas]

Right.

[Benny Johnson]

They threw him in the wood chipper as soon as he was a loser. Then they threw him in the. As soon as he was going to mess with the party power and potentially cost him the governorship of California. Straight into the wood chipper, like Fargo. Yeah.

[George Santos]

I mean, what's the excuse for Republicans, though?

[Benny Johnson]

I don't. That's exactly. That's such a great point. Such a great point, George. Okay, so that brings me nicely. I know that you're on the phone and I know that you're up against a hard out, but I got to ask you about this tweet up on screen right now, George, is your tweet to Ruben Galagio? I don't even know if I'm saying that right. I don't even care. You say you're telling the Republic, the senator from Arizona, yo, you were like roommates with Eric Swalwell. What do you mean you didn't know about him? What do you mean he was living a double life? A lot of speculation because there are photos of them shirtless, together in the desert. There's photos of them at parties. There's photos there. They were besties, birds of a feather kind of thing. There's a lot of online sleuths that are saying, well, George Santos has the receipts. George, you got the receipts on this one.

[George Santos]

Ruben Gallego was my neighbor when I was in Congress. Our offices were next door to each other on the Longworth House office building. And I can say this revolving door is what his office was after hours. Second of All Ruben Gallego and Eric Swalwell have this bromance situation going on in public. If you follow Caroline Wren's X page, it is probably the most entertaining thing because she is unearthing such pearls of absolute joy between the two of them that, I mean, and hey, I'm a gay man. And for me to say that that was probably some of the most gayest things I've ever seen between two men.

[Benny Johnson]

Yeah, dude, like you're riding a camel. Like you're riding a camel in, in like jogging shorts in the middle of the desert. Like, and what?

[George Santos]

No, no one was in tiny little Speedos. Let's not forget G were Speedos. And second of all, yes, there are receipts that will be coming out soon. I'm just making sure that I protect myself legally before I put stuff out there, you know, you know how the drill goes.

[Benny Johnson]

I, I do, I do. So, so, so just really quickly, George, and I know you have to go, but what do you mean? I have to ask you a follow up. You said his office was a revolving door, Gallego's office was a revolving door. And that you were very close. You were close with both of them in proximity. What do you mean by that?

[George Santos]

My office was literally next door to Ruben Gallegos. It's separated by five feet.

[Benny Johnson]

Right.

[George Santos]

We shared a wall. Right. I have habit of working late. I mean, as in when I was in Congress, it's no secret, I was obviously under indictment. So after we voted and after everything was over, everybody would go home, my entire staff. And in rare occasions, I'd have one staffer with me, probably Vishbura, who would hang out as I'm going through now discovery and it's like 11 o' clock at night and I'm reading discovery paper to see what's going on in my case. And you know, on more, on more than one occasion, I either bumped in with the congressman at the time, coming in or out of his office, and always accompanied by different young women. So, you know, this is, this is a pattern. It's a behavioral pattern. It's a, it's a culture that he and Eric SWALWELL Embraced in D.C. because they're arrogant and they thought they were above it all and they were just going to never get caught. Now look, where there's smoke, there's fire. Please keep the pressure on Gallego. If he wants to be transparent about this, release every shred of text, email, phone call, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, DMS with him and Swalwell and come clean. Tell us What? You know.

[Benny Johnson]

Final question for you, George. Again, thank you for your generous time. Final question. What do you mean more is coming out? Can you at least color it for us? I can. More.

[George Santos]

There are more victims. There are more people coming forward. I've spoken over the weekend to three different girls who only two of them are public and one is not public yet and is going public. Her parents are lawyering her up. Her parents are prominent Democrat donors out in California, so they're lawyering their daughter up.

[Benny Johnson]

Hey, George, are you still with us? Hey, George, are you still with us? I'm sorry, you just cut out there for a second.

[George Santos]

Benny, did I lose you?

[Benny Johnson]

Nope. I. I want. I just want. Yep, yep, got you back. You're loud and clear. Just want you to conf. To finish that thought, please. Producer, hop on with George and see if we can just get. If we can. If we can get. I think he probably got. He probably got a phone call. This happens every once in a while. So see if we can get. See if we can't get George back on. I know he has to go, but I wanted to have him continue that thought and a producer just hop on so that we can just get that last answer, please, from George. Just talking about, like, what's coming next and then I promise, I promise you, Carol, we'll let him go. Kara. Kara is our incredible producer and booker at the program and she's always keeping us tight and on time and trying to keep us tight and on time, but let me see. Okay, so we got a call. Just see if George can. Can just come right back on with audio and just explain to us really quickly. Just finish that thought about what comes next. Yep. All right. Okay, great. We have George back and let's. Adam, here we go. Yep.

[George Santos]

So sorry about that.

[Benny Johnson]

Hey, George, no problem. Let me just cue you up. I just want to get that final thought and I know you have to run. Is this going to lead to a big. Me too. Is this going to be like a Harvey Weinstein me too. Like, Hollywood level? Like, is this going to take over Congress? Like, are we going to have like, people coming out from all over the place?

[George Santos]

You took the words out of my mouth. That's amazing. This is the MeToo of Congress. This is the beginning of the end of the sexual predator behavior in Capitol Hill. This is. This is going to be the Harvey Weinstein's of the Bill Cosby's that are going to bring down this generational behavior. Just remember one thing, Benny. You're a very intelligent guy. You've been around. You know this. Remember why the US House of Representatives no longer has the page program. Only the Senate retains it because of this behavior. Because young children who would go from their schools to learn from our leaders were literally assaulted by members of Congress. And these are 13, 14, 15 year olds. That's why the US House of Representatives no longer has the page program. So understanding this is so vital for people to understand why this is a very important moment in time for our youth for future leaders and generations to come.

[Benny Johnson]

Wow. Wow. And then more women are lawyering up right now against Swalwell.

[Nick Freitas]

Yep.

[George Santos]

There's one with a press conference today. And there's another one lawyering up as

[Benny Johnson]

we speak, ladies and gentlemen. Man that we hope. Man that we hope runs again for Congress.

[George Santos]

I don't know about that.

[Benny Johnson]

Let us know, George. I don't know. Let us know. I don't think there's anything constant. Whatever, man, whatever. We, we thought it was a. A barrel. We thought it was a barrel of monkeys. We loved having you in Congress. Thank you, George, so much. You can follow him right here. Here's his X page. He has almost 300,000 subscribers right here on X. Follow George and Godspeed. Thank you for your insights here.

[George Santos]

Thank you, sir.

[Benny Johnson]

I don't care. I. I don't. For all the clippers out there, I don't care. George Santos was entertaining. He was entertaining. Whatever.

Well, I would trust Ron Johnson with the wallet of the federal budget. If we had 53 Ron Johnsons in the Senate, then we'd have the SAVE act and we'd probably have not only the southern border wall built, but the northern border wall as well, because Ron Johnson joins us from the great state of Wisconsin where he is a senator and so much to talk about today. So please welcome Senator Johnson to the show. Sorry for that introduction, Senator. I just like, I've been obsessed with the northern border wall idea for a long time. I think it'd be funny. I think it'd be a funny, like stick in the eye to Canada. I just kind of love to see it. I don't know what your opinions are on the matter.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, I like Canadians in general. It's unfortunate their government has taken a real lurch to the left. So what can I say? I go up Canada, I fish for walleye up there in Lake of the woods every year. Looking forward to that in a few weeks. So in general, I mean, Canadians are very nice. It was not a good sign when you had Canadians booing the national anthem. I hope we can repair that breach.

[Benny Johnson]

All right. Yeah, there's a big breach in the Senate right now. Some people are looking at a senator from Arizona and saying, goodness, you were really close with Eric Swalwell. Maybe we could take a big step back here and get your opinion on what's going on right now. I, I think that there's quite a few more bombshells to come in all of this. Did you know anything about Eric Swalwell? How, how regular is this style of behavior in the House?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, I, I don't engage in it. I don't know anybody who does. I don't know Eric Swalwell than just the news reports. He seems like, you know, quite the character to me. He's probably going to get exactly what he deserves. So on that I don't know anything of the, of the specifics of this, but people need to be held accountable. It sounds like he's being held accountable.

[Benny Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like he's trying, frankly, to get out as fast as possible to avoid accountability. Annapoleon Luna dropping some receipts last night saying there's a lot more to come. Your colleague in the Senate, Ruben Gallego, was like his best bud and a lot of people are saying, well, where there's smoke, there's fire and he should potentially be investigated as well. A lot of allegations about him. Would you be in favor of that or what do you think?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, I don't believe in guilt by association, but if there are some credible charges. Yeah, I mean, these things have to be investigated. If you're. Again, there's just lines you do not cross, particularly when you're an older guy. I mean, you just, you leave young women alone. Okay. And certainly young women that work for you. Again, it's just, it's grotesque, it's totally inappropriate and people need to be held accountable.

[Benny Johnson]

Okay, so Cash Patel is out saying, you know, you can come to me with any, with any allegations and you can come to me with any information. The door is open to all. You're sort of the king of oversight here. And while this is an open ended request from Cash Patel, could you perhaps give us a bit of a status report update on the FBI and how you think things are going? Obviously, there was a big switcheroo at DOJ with Pam, Todd Blanche and whatever's going on in the Game of Thrones there at the doj. We hear there's quite a Game of Thrones going on at the DOJ right now. What would you like to see Cash Patel further investigate, Senator?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, again, there are problems within Department of Justice and the FBI and it's not necessarily because of Pam Bondi or anybody in charge of DOJ or Cash Patel. They're taking over agencies that are part of the deep state. And you have deep state actors, fully embedded burrowed into those agencies, trying to sabotage anything that Caspert or Pam Bondi or now Todd Blanche is going to try and do. I've been highly frustrated as somebody who's been investigating the, you know, the wrongdoings of the Deep State that we've not gotten the kind of documentation that I've been requesting. But part of the problem is you had a lot of people quit. They simply couldn't serve in a Trump administration. They had to terminate a lot of the deeps, a lot of the leftists in those organizations. And the lawfare being engaged in by the left is making it very unattractive for young attorneys to go ahead and serve in this administration. They will have their careers destroyed. So all those things then on top of that, listen, I'm as curious as anybody about Epstein. Okay? I think the question that's not being asked is who was this guy? Who did he work for? I'm all for accountability. I think the victims of Epstein and the other perpetrators of those potential crimes should be held accountable. But it kind of amazes me how people aren't asking that the Main question I have is who did this guy work for? I mean, how do you mass all his wealth? How was he so influential and had his fingers in just about everything. But the whole Epstein investigation, the requirement of having to go through millions of documents trying to redact victims names so you know, they weren't exposing this thing. That was an enormous task that took up a good year of time and again, we don't know. Are those all the documents? Have they been doctored to some extent? I mean they're in the hands of the radical left for four years. So I don't like duplicating effort. That's not been a focus of some of my investigation because other people are doing it and I have no faith. Just like JFK files. You think we're ever really going to get the truth on the JFK assassination? No, I think there's. There's so much, you know, so much wrong doing, so many dirty hands in that they covered that up.

[Benny Johnson]

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 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.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Long ago, you know, the really hard evidence was destroyed decades ago. My guess is the same thing's truth with Epstein files as well.

[Benny Johnson]

A couple of follow ups to that Senator. First one with the intelligence element to Jeffrey Epstein. We obviously know that he worked with intelligence agencies. We have the physical evidence of it. You can see it all throughout the files. You can see the CIA director emailing Epstein a lot. And you see Epstein with boxes of CIA evidence in certain photographs like pretty obvious with his background, where his money came from and some of his early operations in the 80s. So it's like, it seems like. It's just like. It seems like it's a compromise operation in some regards and that's well established and accepted at this point. My question to you is as somebody who works in skiffs, as somebody who works in top secret and classified settings, somebody who has a clearance. How is it exactly that Eric Swalwell, who was one of the leading members of the House Intelligence Committee, would allow himself to be taken in by his Chinese spy and to be filmed in, in, you know, bedrooms in New York? It just seems like such idiotic behavior. Such behavior that would be, would make him a mark, perhaps. Right. If you wanted to blackmail a member of Congress, this is exactly how you do it. And this is. Doesn't this kind of expose the game here, that these guys in the Intelligence Committee aren't that intelligent?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, it certainly exposes, you know, how awful their leadership is. Supposedly all this stuff is, you know, whenever this finally gets revealed. Well, everybody knew that. Obviously I didn't, but I would think Democrat leadership would have known that. They should have known that. You know, certainly before you put somebody on the Intelligence Committee, you probably ought to do a background check on that particular member of Congress. You know, understand that there aren't skeletons in the closet that could be used as blackmail. So the fact that the Democrat leadership didn't conduct those types of inquiries on members a, you know, put on the Intelligence Committee that get a whole lot more secure information, classified information, than regular members of Congress. I, I don't, I don't have access to a lot of that information. And let's, let's face it, these agencies, no matter who's in charge, they hide their secrets. They do not give Congress the type of information Congress really deserves or needs to do effective oversight. We, we get snippets, we get some information. But again, I've been doing this now for many years, and I continue to be frustrated whether it's the Biden administration requirements of the Trump administration. Again, it's not necessarily the President's fault. It's the deep state actors that are not going to give up the goods. They're not going to reveal their wrongdoing. They know what they did. They know how to hide it. It's really a game of cat and mouse, and it's very difficult for Congress to get the truth out of these agencies.

[Benny Johnson]

Do you think that some of these deep state agencies honey trap guys like Eric Swalwell, because he's such a dork and he's so sure of himself and he's such an imbecile. And do you think that there are operations here to compromise him, get him to do what they want?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

I think that's exactly what happened with China. You know, I don't know whether our agencies are engaged in the same thing. It wouldn't shock me if they did. Okay. Again, I'm not a fan of the federal government in any of its forms. I'm just not. I mean, it's. It. Our founders never envisioned a government this massive, this powerful, this intrusive into our lives. You know, they understood that we're men and women, we're imperfect. We're not angels. So you need some measure of government so you don't live in chaos and anarchy. But they never envisioned a government this large, this powerful, with all these agencies spread out there, just violating America's constitutional rights. It's an outrage.

[Benny Johnson]

Could you perhaps give our audience a little bit of hope, maybe even if there is any, when it comes to grand juries that are looking into perhaps Barack Obama or Joe Biden in Florida? You happen to know so many people at the DOJ and FBI. You're constantly working with those people. I know it's frustrating for you, but can you give us perhaps, like, a event horizon for something to look forward to when it comes to perhaps a new leadership of the DOJ or what may be coming next? Senator?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, Benny, you've interviewed me a number of times. You realize I'm not the most uplifting character. I lay out the reality, and it's pretty stark in terms of prosecutions. Department of justice just came out with a document talking about all the prosecutions they have on the fraud. And there's a lot, but you total up the total dollar amounts. I think off the top of my head, it was something like $14 billion. When you have LexisNexis, one of their representatives in a Senate hearings, estimated fraud in the federal government per year at a trillion dollars a year, and we've heard multiple hundreds of billions of dollars. It's massive. And yet we can only prosecute a few billion. It's because it's hard to prosecute crimes. It's hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that somebody's actually committed a crime, particularly when the fraud, for example, is perpetrated by overseas actors. So the only way you can really fix this is address the root cause, the size, the scope and cost of government. You have to start defunding these programs that are so rife with fraud. Same thing when it comes to political wrongdoing. Look at Fauci. I mean, there is a bad human being right there, right? You would think he ought to be prosecuting all kinds of things. For example, funding the gain to function that produced the pandemic that devastated so many people's lives in so many different ways. Can't lay a finger on him. You know, he did it. He did it all using the power of his government position. That's always his defense. And that's the problem with government actors. The government allows them to do these things, and so that shields them from prosecution as well. So, no, I mean, I understand people's desire to Put people in jail. I'd love to put wrongdoers in jail. It's just way easier said than done. Again, the solution is you have to start reducing the size, scope, and cost of government. But we're not on that path. Government continues to grow. I mean, you know me, during the debate on one big, beautiful bill, the president wasn't happy with me, but I was doing everything we could to return to a reasonable pre pandemic level spending. We didn't do it. We're still not doing it. So again, that, that is the solution. Stop spending so much money, quit funding these agencies, quit allowing government to continue to grow and particularly those areas that we know are just subject to fraud. Designed for fraud. Scale them back. Clip their wings.

[Benny Johnson]

Yes. Designed for fraud.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

It's.

[Benny Johnson]

Oh, it's amazing. Your colleague Rand Paul is constantly on our program banging on about how he's got Fauci dead to rights and he sent it to the doj. He has him lying to Congress. He has a couple. He has the statutes and everything. He has the clips. He knows it. It's all like, done, documented, and the DOJ hadn't moved on.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

It's frustrating. It's highly frustrating. Highly frustrating. And again, all the oversight letters I've written, the subpoenas I've issued, for example, on the Butler assassination attempt, we literally haven't gotten squat. It start, it comes out in dribs and drabs. And we're more than a year into this administration. It's highly frustrating. Again, I have a hard time criticizing the people in charge because I know they're being undermined. I know they're being sabotaged. I mean, some of these documents we found in burn bags, in skiffs that the new leadership didn't even know existed. So, no, the deep state actors know how to hide their wrongdoing, how to cover it up, how to destroy evidence. And I'm sure they've, you know, I'm sure when President Trump won election, the burn bags were being filled up and burned and shredders were going. I'm sure that happened.

[Benny Johnson]

And we're just left with the scraps. What do you think they got down in Fulton County? You're obviously one of the bravest members of Congress when it comes to talking about election security. You have been maybe the only voice that has stayed consistent on all of this. Obviously, a big problem in Milwaukee, a big problem in Wisconsin. People are very concerned about the drop boxes. But in Fulton county, boy, that's the mother of them all. And they got a raid from Tulsi Gabbard and the FBI. What do you think they got?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Senator, I think I'm the only chairman that held a hearing after the 2020 election examining the irregularities of the 2020 election. There were so many irregularities, and we

[Benny Johnson]

appreciate you for that. We thank you for that.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, you know, 80 courts have looked at this. They all dismissed. No, they didn't look at the evidence. A few of them did, but most of them just dismissed these cases because the elections have already been certified. And that's the problem. You have improving voter fraud is the losing candidate. They don't have any money. All the election officials have to very rapidly certify the election. We need that for certainty. Once they've certified election, they don't want to go back and go, ooh, we are wrong. We probably shouldn't have certified that. So there's really. It's a very difficult mechanism to prove that kind of fraud. You know, one thing I think this is occurring in Georgia was the adjudication of ballots. We don't talk about that enough. I mean, we know about the absentee ballots. How the Baker Carter Commission said that's the area of greatest fraud, and we doubled it during 2020 election. But the adjudicated ballots on all these electronic machines. I mean, there's so many problems. You know, when Democrats, by the way, raised the issue of the electronic machines possibly being hacked by Russia in 2016, that was all legitimate. They could write all these letters claiming all this, you know, potential fraud because those machines. But in 2020, when, you know, we were a bunch of conspiracy theorists. So again, it's not a fair fight. It's not a level playing field. But I have no idea. I've got all kinds of suspicions about what happened in Georgia, quite honestly, and Maricopa County. And I know the irregularities in Wisconsin about absentee ballots being cured by election officials shouldn't be able to do that. Balloting in the park, going to nursing homes. You know, basically Zuckerbucks taking over the Green Bay election process there. Yeah, there were so many regulators that all get swept under the rug by the media who just sit on their Pulitzer Prizes for breaking the Russian inclusion hoax.

[Benny Johnson]

What do you think was the most egregious election theft over the last couple of years? Do you believe it was the 2020 election? Do you believe it was the. The Senate seat a lot of people say in Wisconsin was just. Was so razor thin, close. Had sort of that same goofy irregularity. There was one of the few where you saw the bounce, you know, right there at the very end. Very strange.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Again, that's just the structural thing of having Central Carleton, Wisconsin get all these abstee ballots, bring them all in and dump it in the system all at one time. Again, we were there. I was there. You can't really prove much there. In terms of losing the Senate seat, President Trump won by about 20, 30,000 votes. Eric Hobby unfortunately lost by about the same margin because we had a vanity candidate. Guys run before as a Libertarian siphoned about 40,000 votes away from Eric Hovday. Plus you had just a fake America first candidate that Chuck Schumer put up another 20,000. That was about 60,000 votes right there. So again, each one of these situations is different. Some of the stuff can be explained, some of it can't be. But investigating is a legitimate thing to do and we just have not really been allowed to investigate it. We all get called conspiracy theorists, nut cases. The Biden administration wanted to prosecute us. That's what Arctic Frost is all about. You know, take anybody who questioned the result of 2020 and criminalize the behavior. Take a good man like Judge Troopas who represented President Trump and just did what Jack Kennedy, what JFK did in Hawaii. Create an alternate slate of electors in case you won in your court battle. Again, Al Gore didn't do that. It reached the Supreme Court because he didn't have an alternate slave electors. They couldn't really do anything. They just, you know, they let the results stand. So Judge Troopas creates the ultra slave electors. You had good on just ordinary citizens allow themselves to be in alta slate. They all get threatened with prosecution. They all have judge troopers is up to over $2 million in legal fees. That's the law fair I'm talking about. They are destroying this man. It is unconscionable what the Biden administration what Josh call our attorney general Wisconsin are doing originally saying the ultimate state elections was fine. There's nothing wrong with that. Now they're trying to criminalize it. Prosecuting him for felonies of. Of not fraud. Forgery. They're saying that. They're saying that was for. Are you kid. It was all above board. They weren't trying to pull the roll over anybody's eyes is completely up front. Is ruled by the attorney general's office that didn't do anything improper and now they're criminalizing it. You know, $2 million worth of legal fees as he's trying to defend himself against felony forgery charges. It's sick with the Democrats play this politics as a blood sport. They are in it for power.

[Benny Johnson]

That's why they let Eric Swalwell be in Congress for 15 years, be on the intelligence committee for 10 years, run for president, run for governor of California, going to MSNBC every hour of every day. Nobody cared when he was doing that, Senator. They only cared when he was going to be a spoiler. And they were potentially going to lose the California governorship. That's the only time they cared.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Yeah, it's win at all costs. And all of a sudden, he represented a threat of them, you know, losing the California governorship. Can you imagine that? A Democrat losing that? We can't let that happen. So we got to eliminate the competition anyway, any way we can. So we're going to try out the information we've always known about this guy, and now we're going to finally reveal it. And of course, they don't get blamed. The media is not asking these questions like you are. So why didn't you guys act sooner? Who knew about this behavior? Who was out there partying with these young girls with Eric Swalwell? I mean, that's what any unbiased journalist would be asking at this point in time is how long was this known and who knew it and who participated in it with it? I mean, just same thing with Epstein. Be asking the same questions from that standpoint.

[Benny Johnson]

Final question to you, Senator, because, you know, a boy can dream. And we'd love to see you in charge of the doj. I don't know if that's in the cards, but if you were actually in charge of the DOJ and if Trump put you into that position, let's just say you, you took it and you say yes, and you went over there, what would you do? What would be the. Some of the first things that you do? What, what, what would you want to

[Senator Ron Johnson]

see done immediately staff it up. Understanding how incredibly difficult that would be. So you're going to have to provide some type of shield for people that join the administration. But that my, my first act would be we have to bring loyal attorneys in the Department of Justice, in the FBI, to carry out the President's agenda that can that root out the deep state actors that are undermining and sabotaging what this administration is trying to do. It's the number one thing you have to staff up. Now. I've made that plea. I've talked to people on the Judiciary Committee. You've got to use all your connections within the law community. Bring people in this administration. It's just crucial. They just do not have enough staff to do all the things that have to be done. Cleaning up the messes, cleaning up the corruption of successive Democrat administrations, Obama and Biden.

[Benny Johnson]

I'm going to start the campaign for Senator Ron Johnson to be in the attorney general right now. Why not? And not a lawyer. You know, I don't think you have to be. I think we, we looked at it. I don't, I don't think you have to be. But we'll, I mean, we'll see. It was Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch who came on and told us, don't worry, like I could be me. He says I'm not a lawyer. So I guess we'll see. Senator Ron Johnson for Godspeed. God bless you. He has nearly 1 million subscribers here on X.

Tulsa Gabbard exposes the false narrative the intel community watchdog pushed to impeach Trump in 2019. This should come as zero surprise to you that they used fake information to impeach Donald Trump. Let's Go ahead and read. Director of National Intelligence Chelsea Gabbard, who we are huge fans of, released a trove of declassified documents on Monday revealing the flimsy work, biased evidence and lack of first hand accounts. Former Intelligence Community Inspector General used to advance a 2019 impeachment Donald Trump Michael Atkinson, former Inspector General did not follow follow proper procedures, according to Gabbard, before he sent a whistleblower complaint about Trump's infamous 2019 call with Voldemort Zelensky to Congress, which formed the basis for Democrats impeachment of Trump. Deep state actors within the intelligence community concocted a false narrative that was used by Congress to usurp the will of the American people and impeach the duly elected President of the United States, gabbard said in statement. Inspector General Atkinson failed to uphold his responsibility to the American people, putting political politicized motivations over the truth. And this along with the politicization of the whistleblower process by a former CIA employee who's working hand in glove with Democrats in Congress. Egregious examples of deep state playbook how to weaponize the intel community uh oh. Oh my. We knew this though. We knew it. So what'll happen? Well, if, if you don't start making arrests, they'll do it again. They're already planning on doing it again. They're gonna do it to every member of the Trump administration, so make the damn arrests. Speaking of something that is arresting President Trump Arrested meaning shocked to the point of true horror. The global energy markets when he blockaded all the Iranian ports. Actually the price of oil has gone collapsing down because people want fundamentally peaceful actors when it comes to shipping their commodities. The Iranians were blowing up oil ships. There's only so many, so much of that that could happen. Apparently they put a bunch of mines in the Strait of Hormuz and just left them there. They forgot where they put them.

[George Santos]

It's great.

[Benny Johnson]

Klein, have you ever lost a mine? You ever mined something? Ah man. Dude, I forgot if. Oh dude, where's my mine? And stop. Yeah, it's not where I parked. Anyway, Trump says that Iran wants a deal very badly and that his blockade of the Iranian ports have worked. It is actually working right now. You can see the real time tracking of ships turning around. All these dirty sanctioned Chinese ships are trying to get their sanctioned oil out of Iran for pennies and ain't working. The math ain't mathing. Donald Trump says Iran has broken and are ready to do a deal and now reports are that they are Begging America to come back to the brokering table. And they want to do a deal. They want to do a deal. They want to do a meeting in the next 72 hours because of this. Look at what Trump's done. He's reset the entire globe. Energy supply and production. There are hundreds of 2 million barrel capacity container ships from every nation on the planet heading to the Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico, forgive me, please don't clip it. Gulf of America misgendering. A misgendering. Not using the correct pronouns on this program. Oh, canceled.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Never go full retard.

[Benny Johnson]

Gulf of America, baby. Trump has reset the global order. Why would anybody ever do any more deals with Iran? You can drink the oil, eat the oil, doesn't matter. Trump is making sure that the Gulf states don't have to be your oil depot around the world. You can just come to the good old US of A. You could go to Venezuela. The capacity that is right now being upscaled in Venezuela is obscene. If you look at some of the recent charts and some of the recent data, they really are. Trump is really going to reset the entire world, the entire globe from an energy perspective. So Trump saying Iran wants a deal now. The blockade is working. Clippy, please. Thank you. Are another round of talks planned with Iran?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

And if so, will you send Vice

[Benny Johnson]

President Jamie Vance room? Well, he's done a good job at Steve and Jared. They've all done a very good job. And I can tell you that we've been called by the other side. They'd like to make a deal very badly, very badly. Well, good. It's working. Trump played the largest tactical uno reverse in history and it's paying off. Love to see it. Ladies and gentlemen, I love to see masa chips on my table at dinner. It is my daughter's fourth birthday today and so Juliet's getting herself some masa chip.
