Left-wing protester (4:52)

You can see all these pretend Christians, all these comfortable white people who are living lavish, comfortable lives while children are dragged into constant concentration camps. You're living real life, nice lives with your lattes doing absolutely nothing for your Latino and Somali brothers and sisters.

Church member or congregant (5:10)

You.

Left-wing protester (5:10)

You come here to A man wearing a suit is a preacher. Did Jesus wear a suit? Did Jesus profit off the words, no, Jesus would die within you? Do not touch me. Touch me again and see what happens. You are a fake.

Benny Johnson (5:26)

Touch me again and see what happens. Does that sound like a potential violation of the Face act by force or by threat of physical obstruction, injuring persons, intimidating or inferior to injure, intimidate or interfere with a person lawfully exercising their First Amendment right to religious freedom in a place of worship.

Left-wing protester (5:45)

Christian, why are you not standing with your Somali and Latino communities? Why do I not see you out at Whipple every day protesting this attack on humanity? Where are you? You're sinners. You're pretending to be Christians. But we know you live an easy life, don't you? A very easy life while people are starving.

Benny Johnson (6:04)

This is the predictable outcome of what the left has become. The left was always going to begin attacking Christians. They were always going to start at the church. Look at this. He's attack. He's. He's going after little kids, kids getting into their church vans. He's doxing children.

Left-wing protester (6:33)

Living real comfortable while the people starve. Living real comfortable while children are dragged into concentration camps. You're all living real comfortable, aren't you? Shame on you.

Benny Johnson (6:47)

These people are demons. They are monsters. They are now going to Begin attacking churches. We've been predicting this for a long time. We saw it during COVID where they locked down churches but opened up liquor stores, strip clubs and casinos. The goal is always to attack the church. Marx writes at the very beginning of the Communist Manifesto that in order to gain full control over society, you have to destroy the family and the church. These are the two things that must be driven to ruin. The demonic Marxist left was always going to attack places of worship. Now ask yourself, what is the limiting principle here? What kind of what. What question lies before the Trump administration and the Department of Justice right now? The question is, are we going to allow this in our country? What kind of a country we want to run? Is this going to happen next to a synagogue, to a mosque? It's going to happen to every single church in America. Like, at what point do you say enough? You have to say enough now in this instance, otherwise it will continue to every single place of worship, to every private residence, to everywhere. It will not stop. These people are driven by evil.

Don Lemon (8:07)

Evil.

Benny Johnson (8:07)

Evil does not sleep. You can see here Don Lemon looking directly into a van of a bunch of children who were crying and weeping. My producer telling me that Harmeet is locked in and ready to go. Show me that young boy. Show me that young child crying in the pews. The son crying in his father's arms in the pews. As a left wing BLM Muslim mobile storms a Christian church and a little boy, little Christian boy is weeping in his father's arms. This is the United States of America. No, ladies and gentlemen, this is not what should be allowed in our country. Don Lemon telling us exactly what he intended to do here. As little children run out of the church weeping and crying. Don Lemon stands there pointing at them, saying, this is the point. The point is to make them feel uncomfortable. Here we go.

Don Lemon (9:04)

I hear, look, hugging his kid. And, you know, I imagine it's uncomfortable and traumatic for the people here. But again, careful, it's very slippery right here. It's uncomfortable and traumatic for the people here. But that's what. Really careful, please. Really slippery. Not kidding. That's what protesting is about.

Benny Johnson (9:25)

And so, okay, so the goal here was to terrorize little children in the church. Don Lemon straight up saying, the goal here is to make the little Christian children uncomfortable as we storm their place of worship and terrorize them. Ladies and gentlemen, checking in with my producers one more time. Set and ready to go with Harmeet. Fantastic. Okay, this is an important one, and we have so much more to cover on what happened yesterday. But this is the biggest question right now in the country, which is what is America? Is America a country that protects religious liberty? Do we follow the rule of law? Do the laws that say you're not allowed to harass and attack people who are worshiping God, do those apply to Christians in this Christian nation? To answer those questions, Harmeet Dillon, ladies and gentlemen, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights joins the show live now. Harmeet, I want to thank you for being on the program today and I appreciate your commentary yesterday. It was in fact the first, I believe, member of the Trump administration to hop on and say this. The Civil Rights Division is investigating the potential violations of the FACE Act. These people are desecrating a house of worship and interfering in with Christian worshipers. And then you tagged Pam Bondi. Can you give me an update on this post? Harmeet?

Harmeet Dhillon (11:00)

Well, yes, actually I posted that from an airplane and Pam Bondi and I, my boss had already been in touch about this incident, what we're going to do about it. And so I'm working hand in hand with her. We have sent federal prosecutors last night from my office in D.C. to Minnesota. They should be landing any moment now. We activated the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office as well. And this has the highest attention of the attorney general and my Department of Justice team because it is, as you said in your intro, this isn't actually a question of whether we're going to stand for it. We don't stand for it in this country. And not every case that we do at the DOJ gets the headlines. But we've already prosecuted numerous attacks on churches so far in the last nine months since I took office under Pam Bondi's leadership. We are investigating multiple attacks on synagogues in it is evil to attack any house of worship in America. It is illegal. And what I saw yesterday made me ashamed, frankly, for the United States that we have an attorney general in Minnesota, Keith Ellison, a District Attorney, Mary Moriarty, a Mayor, Jacob Fry and Tim Waltz, Tampon Tim, who absolutely refuse to enforce our state laws. Their own state laws prohibit this very conduct. Well, if they're not going to enforce their laws, we will enforce our federal laws. And we are already doing that. And so as you know, and as people have said, the prior administration prosecuted people under the FACE act for peacefully praying outside abortion clinics where unborn children were being killed inside. Now, that's protected by federal law. That's up to Congress. However, that same law gives us the right at the Department of Justice to prosecute the same kind of conduct. Vis A vis any house of worship. And there's been a lot of talk of the First Amendment thrown around. The First Amendment includes the right to pray without interference. It includes the right of these people to not have so called journalists and a mob of activists disrupt their sacred day of prayer. And so, as far as I can tell, these very foolish people have already, many of them, self identified online as to who they were, they posted who their accomplices were. Don Lemon has made numerous admissions online as to his participation here and his intention and his knowledge of what was going to happen inside that sacred place. And so we're gathering the facts and there will be action here. I know people are frustrated. Where are the arrests, et cetera. Let me explain that for you and your team, Benny, because state prosecutors could have arrested some of these people yesterday. They don't have some of the same hurdles that we do in the doj. Doj, we gather our facts. We go to a federal judge. A federal judge has to issue the search warrants. We all know what the federal judges are doing right now in Minnesota. We will pursue charges in this case. I see various crimes that have occurred. Exactly what they are, I'm not going to flag. But the FACE act has been mentioned as one of the predicates there. In other cases, the Biden DOJ used the Klan act, conspiracy charges tacked onto the Face act in the case of protests outside abortion clinics to bring much longer sentences. So there are a number of tools available to us. Who funded this, what else? What other crimes may have occurred? Was there a use of the wires or the mails in preparing for this event? Did anyone cross state lines to do this? All of those are potential predicates for additional federal charges.

Benny Johnson (14:31)

Harmeen, I've just pulled up the Klan act because this is the first time that I've heard this mentioned. This is a act that was passed in 1871, correction there. To combat the Ku Klux Klan and protect African Americans voting rights, especially the Enforcement act, which is known as the Force Act. So here's some of the information on screen. Would you mind breaking down for us because we have just read the Face act and how this is an affinity to the Face act, an obvious and egregious demonstrable violation of the FACE act because they were entering a place of worship, harassing and threatening. We just played a video of a man, a bearded man, who was threatening to attack the Christians that were worshiping there. So it seems like an obvious Face act violation. But the Klan act, here it is on screen. First Time I've heard it mentioned. Can you unpack this for us, Harme?

Mark Harris (15:18)

Yeah.

Harmeet Dhillon (15:18)

The Klan act is one of the most important federal civil rights statutes. And it goes back to the time when President Lincoln emancipated the slaves. And yet the Southern states, Dixiecrats mainly, were refusing to give them equal rights. And in fact, that you had sheriffs and you had law enforcement harassing the newly freed slaves. So the Klan act is a law that makes it illegal to terrorize citizens, to violate their civil rights, to get together and conspire to violate the civil rights. It is often used against law enforcement, but is now used against others as well. So whenever anyone conspires to violate the protected civil rights of American citizens, the Klan act can be used to bring a conspiracy charge. We in the federal law enforcement Parlance Call this 241 and 242 civil and criminal conspiracies. And so what the Biden administration did is if three grandmas got together to pray outside an abortion clinic for the souls of the people inside and including unborn children, they would say, oh, that's not just a violation of the Klan act, that's a conspiracy to violate the civil rights of women going in there to get abortions. And so we're going to add additional charges and punish that more and make it from a misdemeanor under the Face act to a felony under the Klan Act. And President Trump pardoned the pro life protesters in those cases. I have recently defended successfully in the 11th Circuit, a case called Oropesa, a case of Jane's Revenge, the pro abortion protesters violently attacking crisis pregnancy centers in Florida. And we had the court uphold the Klan act, criminal enhancement to the Face Act. I know this is very deep in the weeds, but the point is there are a number of things. The Face act is just the start. Like I said, you have material support for disruptive activities. You have conspiracy to violate civil rights. You have potentially the use of other instrumentalities to commit crimes. And so some of these folks who did this have self identified. Don Lemon himself has come out and said he knew exactly what was going to happen inside that facility. He went into the facility and then he began, quote, unquote, committing journalism. And as if that's sort of a shield from being a part, an embedded part of a criminal conspiracy. It isn't. And so, you know, we're getting our ducks in a row. We're putting the facts together, and this is a very serious matter. Come next Sunday, nobody should think in the United States that they're going to be able to get away with this. Everyone in the protest community needs to know that the fullest force of the federal government is going to come down and prevent this from happening and put people away for a long, long time.

Benny Johnson (18:08)

So praise God. I mean, that's so wonderful to hear. I, I was, I was thinking through and deconstructing this harmeet and thinking, well, wait a second. What would be, you know, what would the left do if Alex Jones stormed a mosque and then started interviewing the imam up at the, up at the altar, right, or at the front of the mosque, right, while everyone screamed at Muslims trying to pray? Of course there would. It would be the single biggest protest moment and offense and people would lose their minds. The entire country would burn. There would be protests in every city in America. It'd be one of the biggest stories in the world why this is allowed to happen to Christians and why it is fomented and why is this giggled at. I am so thankful for this administration for actually finally, for drawing the line. Because of course you don't want to see this happen at a synagogue. And no, it's not an act of journalism. If I kick in the door of a synagogue and run up to the rabbi and start live streaming them as people scream at the Jewish people trying to pray. No, that's not an act of journal desecration.

Stephen Miller (19:11)

And you know, terrorism.

Benny Johnson (19:12)

Yes.

Harmeet Dhillon (19:13)

One of the issues here is the people on the left that we're talking about, they don't even, they're not familiar with what goes on inside owls of worship. They've kind of, a lot of them are godless people, obviously, because otherwise, you know, you're right. No matter what house of worship this happens at, this is illegal in America. The face act is non denominational. We are investigating Face act violations against synagogues. And you know, we have the same problem. There are godless people in this country who are terrorizing people where they are most vulnerable. That is the very last place this should happen in America. It should happen nowhere. Of course, no one should feel afraid, but we won't tolerate it. The attorney general feels deeply about this. We both spoke to the pastor last night who was so calm in the face of a threatening mob invading his, his sanctuary. He acted very, very bravely and appropriately. And we have given them some guidance on how to proceed here. But look, this will not be allowed to happen anywhere in America.

Benny Johnson (20:14)

It's shameful, so wondrous. It's so incredible to hear. So you and Pambani called the pastor, you spoke with the Pastor last night. Everyone's praising this pastor for such his calm and peaceful demeanor and keeping his head here.

Harmeet Dhillon (20:26)

Yeah, he's actually great. And it turns out he had a North Carolina accent. And I grew up in the same town as his wife, so it's a small world. And he's a great leader of his congregation. But I'm sure every pastor in America is worried. Is this crazy lunatic mob, well funded by the left, going to come into my church? They better not. We are on it, and we are putting all the resources possible into it was exactly right.

Benny Johnson (20:55)

I just wanted to set up a series of events for you, and I'm sure that you've already investigated this because Don Lemon is speaking out directly to you and saying that he had nothing to do with it except for. Well, we can see that Don Lemon was delivering coffee to the protesters beforehand in Don Lemon's own live. He said that he knows that the protest is about to go and pull up to certain locations, and he can't tell us where they're going to go. But the organizer knew because she posted on Facebook right here. Here's her Facebook post explaining that they were going to attack a church that day. She even tags Don Lemon in this. Then Don Lemon gives the organizer, who's some famous BLM organizer from the George Floyd era. He gives her a kiss live on camera. While Don Lemon is sort of leading the charge here into the church.

Harmeet Dhillon (21:47)

Yeah, I mean, so it's a fire, too.

Benny Johnson (21:50)

Oh, really? So it defies explanation. Harmeet that they didn't know that. That he's such an. He's an innocent party and that he's just journalism. Really quickly, if you don't mind, he had a message to you, and I'd like to play it here. He got your name wrong, but, you know, it's just an act of journalism. Here we go.

Don Lemon (22:08)

MAGA administration and the fake news magas are losing their mind over something that's not even true. So let me just make it clear because this a assistant attorney general, I don't know, gosh, what's her name? Something Hammett.

Benny Johnson (22:25)

Dillon or whatever.

Don Lemon (22:26)

So.

Benny Johnson (22:27)

So thank you for joining the show, Hammond. I had no affiliation to that organization.

Don Lemon (22:31)

I didn't even know they were going to this church until we followed them there. We were there chronicling protests. Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it and talk to.

Benny Johnson (22:44)

The people who were involved, which included.

Don Lemon (22:45)

The pastor, members of the church, and.

Benny Johnson (22:47)

Members of the organization.

Don Lemon (22:48)

That's it.

Benny Johnson (22:49)

It's Called journalism. Okay, your response to Don Lemon.

Harmeet Dhillon (22:54)

Well, look, we have a presumption of innocence in this country, so I want to preserve my ethical duties here. But let me just say that, you know, he's a journalist. He was a journalist. I don't know what he is now, but he. Journalism is not a badge or a shield that protects you from criminal consequences when you are part of a crime. And I think the videos show how close he was to these folks. I think further evidence will show more information about that. But he clearly knew and he stated before going into the facility, it's on his own video. What was going to happen there? What was going to happen was a violation of federal law, federal criminal law. And I don't know what to say. I mean, the FACE act has been out there for more than 30 years. And there were lawyers involved in this so called protest. And their purpose was to terrorize people of faith in a house of worship. They were targeting a different pastor, not the one seen on camera, who they got information, was a ICE supervisor. None of that matters. It's off limits to go into a house of worship to do your little protest. Protests can occur on public property. Protests can occur outside, you know, on a sidewalk, certain sidewalks, not all sidewalks. And this is like basic what you learn in the first year of law school. There's a time, place and manner restrictions on the First Amendment right of protest. And they were violated here in this case. No question about it. The only question is who was involved, how many were involved, and how many charges are going to be brought here? Those are the questions.

Benny Johnson (24:31)

It's absolutely incredible to hear that. Could you, could you talk us through the last time that this argument was used, which was January 6th? Because I tend to recall, and I know many of them, people who were there on January 6th, and they were filming, right? And they said, sorry, correct, sorry, my phone was plugged in. They were saying I was filming. And so therefore I'm a journalist and I get protection from this act that the federal government said was criminal. And, you know, and, and they, they didn't get any protection. Steve Baker is one that's pretty famous at the Blaze, but there were many others. And so that certainly did not shield these journalists on January six, breaking in the US Capitol.

Harmeet Dhillon (25:08)

Right, you're correct. Look, I've been practicing First Amendment law for over 30 years. And so I have represented many journalists, mostly conservative, not all conservative. And if someone were to come to me and ask me, hey, is it okay if I am bed with a gang of criminals about to commit a crime and videotape it. I would say that would be a poor idea. Do not do that. Let me call my criminal defense attorney friend and let's get you retained. If you think you're going to do something crazy like that, you need to get your bail money ready. And I would advise against it. That would be my advice. Neutrally, just theoretically. Okay, now, I don't. The leader of this. One of the organizers there who got the kiss from Don Lemon is a lawyer. She's a lawyer for blm. She's a lawyer for the naacp, or she has been historically, I think leader of a chapter there of the naacp. And a lawyer should know better because this law is well known. But forget the law. A human being should know better than to take their protest into an altar in front of a place where people are coming to worship. It is literally supposed to be a sanctuary from all kinds of distress and fear and a place to get comfort and solace. And this is just godless behavior to take that into a house of worship. It is. I don't know what we've come to here in this country that people are doing this willingly, but it won't happen again with impunity. It won't happen in this case with impunity. And it's just not going to happen in America. We won't tolerate it.

Benny Johnson (26:37)

I know that you cannot comment on this, but just the richness of Don Lemon potentially being charged under the Klan act is. It is just going to be really something else. I wanted to give you an opportunity, since you've. Since you're approaching this with such strength, to speak to this photo that's now gone viral. This young child who's being comforted by his father, this young Christian child, and he's what looks like either weeping or crying or terrified. This is a image from a lot, the live feed where the man was going row by row, this bearded man was going row by row, screaming at and threatening the Christians, calling them fake Christians inside of their house of worship and physically threatening harm. You can see the child here weeping in his father's arms. And then you can also see Don Lemon afterwards saying the purpose of this protest was to make these children uncomfortable. He said it live on his stream. I'd like to, perhaps you could give a message to these children in that church who experienced this. What is the Message from the DoJ?

Harmeet Dhillon (27:45)

Harmeet Message from the DoJ Is that the Attorney General of the United States has a zero tolerance policy for this. What we told the pastor of that Congregation as we are very sorry that they had to go through that terrorizing incident and that we are sending reinforcements from D.C. to make sure that the crimes that occurred yesterday are fully prosecuted. And you know, there was a racial element to what was said as well. The man you're referring to, who I believe is a vet, very disturbed looking man, he had recently just been arrested and catch and released by Minnesota law enforcement officials. Law enforcement officials two days earlier, I think it was on Friday. And that's why he was free to terrorize this child and his parents and this family. Shameful. But he's shouting about them being white and privileged. And so those are additional things that we're looking at. Is there a racial element to this church being targeted? Because you know, that's also illegal in America, committing crimes on the basis of the race of the victims. And so I, I just commend this congregation. They are obviously godly people who, who are calm in the face of this. I mean, I see people calmly talking with Don Lemon, you know, sticking his little goofy mic into their face. And that's not what they came to church for. They prepared their minds. They came to receive wisdom and, and seek the, the, the comfort of their colleagues and hear a teaching from the pastor. And instead this is what they got. Well, the lesson learned here is going to be the lesson learned by these so called protesters that their right to protest ends outside the church. It does not extend inside the church. They trespassed. In a better run city and state, they would already have been arrested under state law, which can happen much more quickly than I can do for pro, for, for violation of Minnesota's version of the Face Act. It's also illegal to do this in Minnesota and for trespass. I don't think anything's going to happen. I haven't heard a word from Keith Ellison or from Mary Moriarty, the District Attorney in Hennepin county where this happened, about these violations. I haven't heard a word from Tim Waltz about this. I haven't heard a word from the mayor of Minneapolis about this. That's a failure of leadership there. But thank goodness we have a strong and dedicated DOJ and Attorney General Pam Bondi who will make sure that we explore every avenue to bring the most charges appropriate to do justice in this case.

Benny Johnson (30:21)

We cannot emphasize enough how thankful we are for this leadership team at the doj. And here's why. You have to make examples. There has to be red lines. There has to be lines in the sand. There has to be hills to die on. And you do not want this happening to your church. Think about your church. Think about what's happened in churches around America, but including in Minneapolis, where two young children died after a transgender man shot the church up. 17 different bullets hit children while they were praying. Not too far away from this location, the church is under attack. Christian schools are getting shot up and attacked. This is something that is growing. The left is attacking churches. It's godless. It's demonic. It has to end. And people need to be made examples of. And this is a perfect opportunity to do that at scale. And we just. We're praying for you, Harmony, and we're praying for the entire doj, and we're thankful for you standing up. This should not happen to any house of worship, Christian or otherwise. And so my Christian children who go to church every week are thankful for you. Thankful. Thank you, Harmeet.

Harmeet Dhillon (31:24)

Thanks for having us.

Benny Johnson (31:26)

Here we go. Follow Harmeet. Dylan, right here. Here is her DOJ account. She had. She had very quick and very aggressive updates yesterday on this. A show of force. Godspeed.

Harmeet Dhillon (31:37)

Thank you.

Benny Johnson (31:47)

Whoa. Okay, let's do some quick notes here. Live on air, Jack, lock in Harmeet Dillon saying that she is potentially going to use the Klu Klux Klan act to prosecute Don Lemon. Do you understand timeline that we are living in? I thought that we had reached peak. Finding out after the effing around, I thought we'd reached the very height of it, but it turns out there are still levels and floors upon which we can go. Goodness gracious. I can't. I can't believe that. That's just crazy. Let's get that. I want that whole thing up and that is massive. That is massive. Jack, confirm it to me. I need to see it. Yeah. Yep. Okay. All right. Go ahead and send the clips in the chat. I want to, like, get that. That is huge breaking news, ladies and gentlemen. Speaking of breaking, something that doesn't break because they are actually so good. I know this is going to be a little bit of a change of tone here, but I don't know, like, I. You know what. What else can you say? I have. I have one glorious sacred time in my day. It is when I come home. Killer Klein knows I leave the studio at 5 o' clock on the dot. Okay? No matter how much work I have to be done, the work can be done when my kids are in bed. Okay? And often I do to jump right back on. But I get like, you know, as a dad, you get like 90 minutes a day, like, of, like, one on one. Locked in time with your kids. For me, that's over dinner. Masa chips. We eat for dinner. You know, like, I don't know how. What else to say. My kids freaking love them. We have boxes at my house, and they're present at every meal. They're probably the only thing that is present at every meal. They don't break. They don't break because they're all natural. Three ingredients makes a very firm and very satisfying crunch taste. No seed oils. They're good for you. Corn, salt, beef, tallow. That's it, baby. No crash, no bloat. Give Masa a try. They're also a great company that you should be supporting because they support well, America. Go to masachips.com benny and use the code BENNY for 25 off your first order. Masa Chips support America. America being healthy again. That's why they made this product. Masachips.com Benny used code BENNY for 25 off your first order. Also available at Sprouts Market. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I think alx. What else I had. We have so much lined up here in order to. With so much lined up here in order to play, but I think we played you kind of the. The essence of what was going on. I want to shout out this pastor. Get me the pastor's name. Do we have that interview with Don Lemon and a pastor? I really want to. I want to get. Let's get at that. That's amazing. Thank you, Klein. Here's the pastor of the church. Can I get his name? This guy is really impressive. Him, like, being calm, if you want to know what like, having God in your life does. And it's a. It is incredible to watch, like, true men of God and true men of God, which. I'm just a simple Christian. I'm just a simple Christian, like, trying to. Trying to work things out. But you see true men of God acting in this world. Like this. Man, listen to this. I mean, like, think about this. He's a pastor. He has a full congregation in this beautiful church. His church was just stormed by a bunch of violent leftists that are threatening his flock. Don Lemon comes crashing up to the front of the synagogue, runs up to the altar. Sorry, I said synagogue. Up to the front of the church, runs up to the altar of the Christian church, shoves a microphone in this pastor's face as he's trying to speak a sermon, as he's trying to give the word of God to his flock. Jonathan Parnell is the name of the pastor. And here's Jonathan Parnell in Just such a calm and peaceful cadence, explaining with crystal clarity what Christianity is all about. Here we go.

Don Lemon (36:20)

What do you think of it?

Benny Johnson (36:22)

I mean, this is unacceptable. It's shameful. It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship. But there were folks. I have to take care of my flock. Listen, we live in.

Don Lemon (36:36)

There's a constitution in the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.

Benny Johnson (36:41)

We're here to worship. We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of these cities, that's the hope of the world, is Jesus Christ. I'm gonna be very respectful. Please don't push me, though. We're here. We're here to worship Jesus. That's why we're here.

Mark Harris (36:53)

Okay?

Benny Johnson (36:54)

That's why we're here. That's what we're about. Don't you think Jesus would be understanding? And we're about love, these folks. We're about spreading the love of Jesus. But did you try to talk to them as a. No one is willing to talk, okay? I have to take care of my church and my family. So I asked that you actually would also leave this building. You don't want us to worship? I'm always worship.

Don Lemon (37:13)

I'm a Christian.

Mark Harris (37:14)

We're here.

Benny Johnson (37:14)

Well, we're here to worship.

Mark Harris (37:15)

We're here to worship.

Benny Johnson (37:16)

Okay. Thank you very much.

Mark Harris (37:17)

I appreciate it.

Benny Johnson (37:24)

Notice how Don Lemon said he's the victim. Notice how Don Lemon goes, oh, excuse me, Please don't get in my space, bro. You just invaded a church. Now you're at the altar harassing the pastor who's trying to serve his congregation, and Don Lemon is sitting there saying he's the victim. Don Lemon is sitting there going, oh, please don't invade my space. Okay. Way to go to that guy. That's amazing. Way to go to this guy. Goodness gracious. So the Trump administration going extremely strong. Here's Carolyn Levitt and Pam Bondi and Mike Davis. Let's just get through this really quickly here. And then we have another. We have the rest of our stacked show for you. And a bunch of breaking news. Here we go. Pam Bondi says, I have been in constant communication with Harmony Dylan today over these events. Justice Department investigating in my direction. Any violation of federal law will be prosecuted. Take to the bank. I know this, as a matter of fact, that they are going to. This is not bluster. These are not empty words from the Attorney General's office. You heard Harmeet Dillon say that the Attorney General was on with the pastor last night, so they're serious about this. Here's Caroline Levitt, the voice of President Trump. President Trump will not tolerate intimidation, harassment of Christians in their sacred places of worship. The Department of Justice has launched full investigation. Despicable incident that took place earlier at the church in Minnesota. Correct. Take Mike Davis talking smack. Dear Don Lemon, has the FBI showed up at your door yet because you committed a federal crime? The FACE Act, 18 U.S. code 248. We've read it to you this morning. But in summary, it says you are not allowed to attack people in their place of worship or disrupt them. Threatening churchgoers is a federal crime. Face act. Mike Davis, ready to go scorched earth against Don Lemon. Don Lemon has been panicking. Now he's been posting video after video saying that he doesn't have any responsibility for what happened. By what Harmony Dylan just laid out is that the the Klan act could be used in order to prosecute Don Lemon because Don Lemon was clearly colluding with the people whose intentions were to violate the civil rights of Americans. So Harmony Dhillon saying that we are going to use the KKK act to put Don Lemon in jail. What a timeline we are living. What a timeline we are living in.

All right, ladies, gentlemen, more madness out of Minneapolis. Things have gotten just insane. Just a, just a really quick shout out to our friend Nick Sotor who was robbed in the street yesterday. Nick is a independent journalist. He is an influencer. He's regularly on the show. He was dragged by a robber's car in Minneapolis. A Somali dragged Nick Sotor for blocks. You can see here in the clip they stole his thousand dollar camera and then, and I believe did they take it out of the window here? Let's go ahead and listen to the clip real fast and we'll jump to our next guest.

Harmeet Dhillon (42:29)

Hey. Hey.

Benny Johnson (42:30)

So it looks like. Hey, hey. Somebody grabbed, grabbed Nick's camera. Nick was driving around. Oh, okay. Trying to get camera back.

Church member or congregant (42:47)

She took next camera.

Benny Johnson (42:58)

And is being dragged down the street. The car is driving down the sidewalk. Import the third world. Get the third world. What does this country become? Amazing how you won't hear anything about this attack, this attack on a journalist, right? Nothing. Journalist was nearly killed. Of course, that's what can happen. If your hand is stuck in a car and it then goes driving down the road, hits a tree, you die. Nick Sotor could have died anyway. This is theft, destruction of a journalist's property. Total and complete madness in Minneapolis. This is what's become of your country. This is what the left wants to do to every single city in America. This is what the left wants to do to North Carolina. The left would love this. There's actually an enormous number of criminal aliens in North Carolina. Representative Mark Harris of North Carolina joins us live now to talk about the state that is a bit of, a, bit of a linchpin for the left. They would love to conquer North Carolina. The left is trying very hard to ensure that North Carolina votes blue. Republicans are fighting back. Representative Mark Harris joins us live now. Congressman, how do we keep North Carolina from going the way of Minnesota?

Mark Harris (44:29)

Well, good morning, Benny. Thank you so much for having me. I mean, when I watch those videos you're showing and we see the chaos and, and just really the riot spirit that has broken out all over Minneapolis in these areas, it causes all of us to recognize that we are living in incredibly tumultuous times. And if ever there's a time for those that are conservative Christians to stand up and speak up and preserve our communities, now is the time. And listen, how are we going to stop North Carolina from going down the route of Minneapolis? I think it's because we do have some leaders in North Carolina that are willing to speak up, that are willing to stand up and are willing to continue to raise the questions that need to be raised. Obviously, what we're seeing in Minneapolis is not only the. Just the. All the things that are going on with trying to destroy ICE agents and trying to. To kill them, literally. Journalists that are trying to report the truth of what's coming out are at risk. But so much of it is. Is simply, I think, being done as a distraction for. They got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. They got caught with more than $9 billion of fraud that's going on. And, and I think that this is a large part that all of the left has seen to converge on Minnesota to try to create a diversion from. The real issue is you had a governor and an attorney general and others that had all this going on right under their noses.

Benny Johnson (46:03)

So the left has decided that North Carolina is one of the states that they're going to flip blue. And they have brought in hundreds of thousands, millions potentially of criminal aliens. I don't know, but I know that the enforcements in Charlotte have been obviously pretty intense. You've seen sort of the descent into madness in Charlotte with the killing of Arena Zasruka. We won't forget that. And also some of the DEI judges that continue to let criminals onto the street. I thought that North Carolina was a Southern state. I thought it was a Republican state. I thought it was a state that was run by biological and sensical people. But it does have a Democrat governor and so on. And, you know, it seems like it's a state that hangs in the balance. How do you prevent Charlotte from becoming the next Minneapolis? What are you doing, Congressman, to make sure that that state stays strong?

Mark Harris (46:54)

Well, one of the things that we're doing is continuing to call out the reality of the situation we have here. Listen, we're standing with our police. In fact, just a month or so ago, the Fraternal Order of Police called on Governor, our Democrat Governor, Josh Stein, to bring in the National Guard to Charlotte because we were running around 276 police officers below what we needed to adequately police this city. And so I joined along with a couple other colleagues from North Carolina, calling on the governor to bring in the National Guard. Unfortunately, he has not done that. The city leaders, we are under total Democrat control in this city. They have not done that either. So we're continuing to try to. To bring to bear one of the things that happened just this past weekend is the head of the Federal transit authority came down to Charlotte, met with some of the leaders here, and they're very clearly stepping in and threatening to withhold the federal funds if we don't get things under control on our transit here in Charlotte. And that's a big thing. We've got the transportation department, Sean Duffy, that is spoken up and has threatened to withhold $50 million because it was discovered in a federal audit that we had granted 54% of the CDL license that were granted to foreigners were granted illegally. And, and that's a real problem. And that just came out in the last two weeks. So I think we're trying to make sure that our federal dollars are going to be withheld. That, of course, gets the attention of state legislators and they start calling to hold accountability. You made a great point earlier that though we are, when you look at our state red, for the most part, we've got these blue cities and we've got a Democrat governor and his administration, and we're seeing the results of that as well. And so I think it's going to be a matter of accountability ultimately that we've got to hold state government too.

Benny Johnson (48:59)

Congressman, you're on the judiciary committee and that means that you are going to be empaneling Jack Smith this week for testimony. And what are you planning on asking Jack Smith now that we are obviously talking about federal law enforcement and trying to clean out the rot inside of the DOJ and trying to use the DOJ and the force of will of the American people to protect Christians, to not violate the law. Jack Smith is just such an egregious example of somebody who was weaponizing and twisting the law for political purposes. What are going to be your questions to Jack Smith?

Mark Harris (49:39)

Well, I think you're exactly right, Benny. Our questions are going to be along those lines. Jack Smith is the epitome of somebody that was more interested in weaponizing the department of justice and going down this road. The things that he did, being able to work around the system, being able to phone tap, use judges like judge Boasberg and others to, to sign off on listening to or getting phone records from members of congress and members of the U. S. Senate, all of these things and his operation arctic frost are going to be fair game for questions that are going to. To come up. I think we want to, we want to hear his testimony. We want to hear what was the thought pattern as they weaponized this. I, I think it's no doubt as you are going to listen to Jack Smith, if you've watched him on the news. Here is a man that did absolutely the opposite of what you should do in his role. He wasn't just gathering evidence, looking for a crime. He was simply deciding. He decided in his own mind that somehow a person was guilty. And then he goes out and, and tries to create things and find things that build his case or build his idea that he's got. So I, I think that he's going to be called to question. I think that there's going to be a lot of different angles that we'll be coming at as a committee. And I think we're going to hear what he has to say because I think it's important. It's going to happen this Thursday, as I understand, when we have this hearing with the full Judiciary Committee.

Benny Johnson (51:12)

All right. Well, since you are involved in these intersections in Congress, what do you think about Bill and Hillary Clinton refusing their subpoenas? Sounds like they're going to be held in contempt this week.

Mark Harris (51:23)

Well, I think they ought to be held accountable. Just like we saw Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon went to jail over this. Others have gone to jail over this. So I think it's going to be very important that we continue to say that nobody is above the law. And that's got to be more than just words that we say. It's got to be something that we enforce. And I think that they're going to need to come or they're going to need to be held accountable for not showing up.

Benny Johnson (51:53)

All right, Congressman, thank you so much for joining us today. Really appreciate it. Everyone can follow Mark Harris right here. We need to make sure that red states remain strong and that the, the act of trying to flip places like North Carolina purple and then blue, which is ongoing right now, that that stops. Otherwise you're going to get a lot of swing states looking exactly like Minnesota. Don't let them run that same playbook. Godspeed, Congressman. Thank you.

Mark Harris (52:19)

Thank you, sir. Pleasure to be with you.

Benny Johnson (52:28)

Gentlemen. Patriot Mobile with us every step of the way. We may have some unannounced travel this week. We will be going to Texas very, very soon for a speech. Very excited about that. But other interesting unannounced trips that may be popping up. We're excited to roll with Patriot Mobile as they have always rolled with us. Patriot Mobile is just one of those awesome, kick ass companies that are constantly, they have our back. This is what it is. They've been with us for a long time and we've been with them because like, quite frankly, we've needed them. You know, we Were in some really dodgy areas last week. It's weird that spiritual energy wasn't Klein. I was like, it's. It's weird to be out there. Like, if you go out to California and you go, you're surrounded by homelessness and drug addiction and broken lives, sadness, people that have given up. Like, you're surrounded by that. Like, it gets to your soul. Like it eats it. It eats at. Eats at you. We were interviewing homeless people. We were walking through the filth. We were driving through. We were being attacked. We got some guy. Some homeless guy came charging at our car and kicked in, dented in the door of our. This is just like, this is just something that puts you on edge. The last thing that you need is a cell phone company that either isn't connected, doesn't connect, doesn't work, or doesn't have your back could potentially deplatform you. You saw that with other big carriers. Patriot Mobile is not that company. They're a Christian conservative wireless rider. They have incredible coverage. Go to patriotmobile.com benny right now or call 972 Patriot and use the promo code Benny for a free month of service. That's patreonmobile.com Benny Call 972 Patriot to make the switch today. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have some really exciting news to break here on the program. One of our dear friends, somebody who, well, used to work with me and worked at this company. In fact, this is, I think, the first time that this happened and really exciting. Somebody who's worked at this company was. Is an incredible creative and patriot technician, an extremely skilled individual who has such a bright future ahead of him potentially in public office. And that's something that we certainly hope for, something that we are going to actively campaign for is the great David Medina, who is just one of these guys who's a native son of Oregon who loves the state of Oregon. And you might say, well, the state of Oregon's lost. No, it's not state of Oregon. You know, Donald Trump wins most of the counties by landslides in Oregon. And there are so many patriots even in Portland. You get off the plane and there were like people in MAGA hats. We announced we were going to Portland. There were, like, people waiting for us. It was crazy. People want that state to go right ways. And the way it happens is you actually clean out the voter rolls and you have free and fair elections. What ended up happening just a couple of weeks ago, I think, was two weeks ago, Oregon decided Oregon was forced in a lawsuit to clean out 800,000 of their voter rolls. Well, wait a second. The margin for Trump to win Oregon is like five points. I think there's only like 2 million people in Oregon. 800,000. So a third of the people in Oregon were fake, were fraudulent. Can a Republican win the governor's position in this state? Yes, the answer is yes. Could it be David Medina, our dear friend, ally and compatriot here at this company? Oh yes, it absolutely could be. Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time on this program, welcome David Medina to speak about his freshly launched just minutes old gubernatorial challenge in the state of Oregon. Let's go, David. Look at this. This is awesome, man. Wow, the energy. We are live from a David Medina rally. Can Oregon be saved? Talk to us.

Mark Harris (56:33)

Yes, it can be saved, Benny.

Harmeet Dhillon (56:35)

It can be saved.

Benny Johnson (56:36)

You shouldn't be here. These are patriots that are tired of being oppressed by the radical left here in Oregon. There are Democrats in this town, there are conservatives, there are God fearing patriots in this town.

Church member or congregant (56:45)

This is not a US movement, this.

Benny Johnson (56:48)

Is an Oregon movement.

Church member or congregant (56:49)

This is a God movement.

Benny Johnson (56:50)

We are going to bring our state back, buddy. I can't wait. David, tell me. There's a lot of people that would say, wait a second, isn't Oregon one of those states that like Republicans couldn't win? And then we had this incredible article that Oregon had to clean out 800,000 inactive voters. Yes, it's like a, that's like a third. That's like a third of the state, David. And so you know, when President Trump is winning a ton of counties and landslides in Oregon, there are a lot of patriots there. Many of them are in your shot right now. Shout out to the patriots, David Medina. So can a Republican win in the state of Oregon?

Church member or congregant (57:31)

Not only can we win, but we can actually win in a big way. You mentioned the voter rolls being cleaned up. We've been asking for a long time for our elections to be cleaned up. We thank the President Trump, President Trump's administration for helping us with that Harmeet. Dylan, thank you so much for helping us here in Oregon and shining the spotlight here in Oregon. And I will also say, Benny, in 2022, the Democrats current governor Tina Kotek won by only 67,000 votes in the state. 67,000 votes. Guess how many Republicans sat out of that election? 120,000. I'm calling on those Republicans today to stand with us. Stand with the Republicans here, stand with God, stand with our state, stand with all people. Because if we can just get even two thirds of those voters that sat out to vote. We could beat these guys. And it's not beating the Democrats. We beat the Democrat in the league. We can beat them and we will beat them. Benny.

Benny Johnson (58:18)

David, people are sick of the way that things have gone in Portland. You can just tell there's fatigue, there's exhaustion. Portland, the state of Oregon is actually one of the most beautiful, naturally gifted states. It has the ocean, it has the mountains. It is a stunning state. But when I was just there with you a couple weeks ago, homelessness everywhere, everywhere. Violence in the streets. We saw when we were were there with Kristi Noem.

Church member or congregant (58:45)

We had to be escorted.

Benny Johnson (58:46)

Yeah, yes, exactly. Home to, you know, very, very dangerous criminal, aliens and offenders. How are you gonna clean up this state?

Church member or congregant (58:54)

Well, you know, we have a Democratic radical left wing Democrat elite here. My, my beef, Benny, is not with the, a lot of Democrat voters. Actually a lot of Democrat voters, my friends also here in the state say, hey, look, we can't register Republican. We can't be loud for you, but we'd rather have your conservative ideas than what the radical left is doing here in Oregon. So I will just say this. We will clean this up immediately. The homelessness industrial complex is out of control here. There's been millions of billions of dollars, millions of dollars being funneled into the homeless problem by the radical left wing Democrats. While the solution, while the homelessness increases, Benny, the homelessness is continuing to increase here in the state. And I'll just tell you this. We're going to bring back law and order. We're going to bring back respect for our police. We're going to bring back empowering our police officers to do their job and not look at them as the problem. The radical left wing of the Democrat party look at police as the problem. We're going to end that. We're going to empower our police. Yes, they'll hold accountable where there's police misconduct, but we are not going to demonize our police officers or our law enforcement anymore. We're going to let them do their jobs. We're going to let them clean up our homelessness. We're going to let them deal with criminals and especially the illegal criminal activity that's going on in Oregon. That is going to end on day one of my, my, my campaign or my, my risk.

Benny Johnson (60:05)

Yeah. Your administration, David David Medina, you, many would say like are kind of young, you know, for this job. They'd say, wow, like this is a millennial that is running for governor. What do you say to those people?

Church member or congregant (60:20)

You know what I say? Get to know me, get to know my experience, get to know my track record of success. I've built a company from the ground up. BENNY and I appreciate the kind words that you said at the beginning of me, my work with you. Here's the thing. The youngest governor in Oregon was 36 years old. That's exactly how old I am. His name is Mark Hatfield. He was a Republican. It's not about age. And if age is a requirement, if I need to be older, and that's kind of one of the prerequisites for being governor. I mean, look at what Tina Kotak's doing. Look at the other people that have run for, not on the Republican side, but on the Democrat side. Look at our Democrat leaders in Congress, in the Senate. I mean, Jeff Merkley, Ron Wyden. They've been in office for decades and they have nothing to show for our state. They continue to let lawlessness permeate our state. They continue to let chaos and meanwhile, they're trying to tax us to death. They're trying to take away our paychecks and make livability harder and harder every single day. BENNY so we are going to empower all of the right people, put the right people in the right spot. That's what being governor is about, is putting the right people in the right spot. And that's what we're going to do. We're going to put the best people in place here to bring our state back.

Benny Johnson (61:25)

I think that the people of Oregon are just kind of sick of being the butt of a joke. It's not like a state like California. It's not like a state like New York.

Church member or congregant (61:34)

No.

Benny Johnson (61:35)

There are so many patriots there. I saw MAGA airports, I saw MAGA hats at gas stations. People, people love their country. They're, they're true patriots in Oregon. What's your message to them? What are some of the top line things you're going to fix on day one if you make history and become one of the youngest and the first Republican governor of Oregon in quite a long time.

Church member or congregant (61:56)

Absolutely. BENNY well, I'll just tell you this. I'll say to those people that have been felt forgotten here in Oregon, that feel like they don't have a voice, rise up. Now is the time. Now is the time for us to rise up and take our state back. There's this oppressive kind of spirit over Oregon and it just kind of, it lays heavy on our shoulders. We can't speak up at work. We can't tell people who we're voting for or we can't even speak on common sense. We can't even speak and speak up for getting men out of women's sports without feeling the pressure from our jobs and the oppression from our government. That's gonna change. I want people of all backgrounds, whether you're Democrat or Republican, to feel comfortable speaking up about their political beliefs and about their personal beliefs. As long as we're not shoving it on each other like they're doing here, like the Democrats are doing here in the state. And so I just say to those people, let's rise up. Let's take our state back. Let's get out of fear. Let's find our courage. Because after this, Benny, the fake news here, local media here in Oregon are going to smear me. They're going to, they're going to make up things about me. If they can't find things about me. They are going to call me every name in the book. They've been doing it for years. But I'm going to tell you right now, your words have no power. I'm talking to the fake news media right now and the radical left wing Democrats that think they can bully us further. Your words have no power. They were calling the moderate in 22 a hard right turn MAGA extremist Republican. Your words have lost power. People see through you. We're bringing this state back and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Benny Johnson (63:16)

Is a wonderful thing to hear and it's also something that's probably terrifying to the left in the state. I know that there has been so many moments that have been embarrassing over the last couple of years for this incredible and beautiful state filled with patriots. For instance, the land acknowledgment at the Christmas tree. They couldn't even do a Christmas. They couldn't even say the word Christmas at the Portland Christmas tree lighting or recently there was a trend Aragua shooting just two weeks ago in Portland where the police chief David was crying for the trend Aragua gang members who shot ice.

Church member or congregant (63:53)

Unbelievable. Yeah.

Benny Johnson (63:54)

What happens under your administration for this, you know, to wokeness into some of the, the rot that we've seen overtake Portland?

Church member or congregant (64:02)

Absolutely. Well, you know the Democrats party is probably trying to get those two people are probably registering them to vote as we speak right now. These people have put illegals first over their own citizens. And look, we are compassionate. I'm a Christian, Benny. I'm a Christian conservative. I have compassion. I've worked with people from all backgrounds. I have friends in the Democrat party. I have friends that work in the in the legislature in Oregon that are Democrat and I love everybody, but at the end of the day, this is about the rule of law. This is about putting Oregonians first again. And then let's take care, let's see what we can do to take care of the rest of the thing. But our people are struggling. Our people, we're living paycheck to paycheck, man. We have moms that are struggling. We have. We have single moms that are struggling, single fathers that are struggling, families that are struggling just to put food on the table. Meanwhile, our government gives billions of dollars in health care to non citizens and illegals that are not that. Some just arrived here, some that have been here, some that have committed crimes. You have people, you have our government that are just prioritizing everything under the sun except its own citizens. The government, the left wing, radical left wing of the Democrat party here in Oregon despises its citizens. And on day one, Benny, we're going to change all of that. We're going to get rid of all the waste, fraud and abuse within our government. We're going to bring back the Oregonian first promise that our government, limited government, we're going to shrink government, and we're just going to build a machine that works for us again, man, like you said, our land is so beautiful. From the Oregon coast to central Oregon to eastern Oregon, everywhere is so beautiful and it's worth fighting for. And I will just tell you, I'm not saying this land belongs to just us, but it belongs to all of us. It belongs to no matter what you believe, no matter what your political background, it belongs to all of us. It does not belong to one political elite party who despises its citizens.

Benny Johnson (65:39)

Yes, you said 60,000 votes was the margin there. I didn't know it was actually that close. That's wild.

Church member or congregant (65:46)

67,000.

Benny Johnson (65:47)

What do you say to those 67,000 voters and some of the Democrats that might be just wanting to put potentially take a chance at a Republican for the governor's. So maybe they're just fed up. I think we're getting that a lot around the country.

Church member or congregant (66:01)

Absolutely, Benny. Well, I thank you for asking that question because that's a big thing. Like I said, we have a lot of Democrats that behind the scenes have come up to me in public saying, hey, I support you. I don't like the way that my party is going. I'll just say to this, I don't care if you're a Democrat, you can stay a Democrat. This is about, and this is an Oregon movement This is about bringing the people together. Now I'm a conservative Christian. I supported President Trump. I voted for him three times. At the end of the day though, I have friends from all backgrounds, all lifestyles and I love all of them. I don't water down truth, Benny. But I'll just say this. The way the state is going right now, the way they're managing our state is not sustainable. I mean we have some of the highest taxes in the nation. We have our own businesses that were grown here that are leaving. We have Dutch Bros. And other companies that are leaving Oregon because we are so non business friendly. And so I just say to those Democrats, hey, if you want a better Oregon, they're going to call us right wingers and extremists and insurrectionists. They're going to call us all things racist. You're going to hear all those buzzwords, but just understand the media. I'm just going to tell you right now, people see through you because the real people that know us, that know me, that know these amazing people, they know who we really are. And so every time you use those buzzwords, man, keep using them because it helps us because we know who we are and we just. I want everybody to look at each other as Oregonians again, Benny. And as American and as just people that can disagree but get along again, that's what I'm going. I'm stepping out of my, my, you know, my base and I'm, I want to bring people together.

Benny Johnson (67:26)

So. Okay, just final question here on that because I asked about the left that you may need to pull some of their votes. What about the right that wants to secede to Idaho? We've been following the Greater Idaho movement that wants to take a couple of red counties from Oregon and actually secede. What do you say to those people, David?

Church member or congregant (67:42)

Well, the people of greater Idaho, great people, great patriots. Hey, look, my beef, I don't have any beef with them. They, they are, at least they're doing something right. At least they're trying to do something to, to solve the problem that we have here. But I will just tell my message to those people, to those people that are wanting to leave the state, thinking about moving out. Just give us a little bit more time. We're going to bring the state back. We're gonna, it starts today. We just pray God is in control because again, I, like I said, we're not gonna bring the state back. God's gonna bring the state back. He's using us as vessels. We are just vessels. It's gonna Be up to almighty God. And if you don't believe in God, totally fine. But he's real. I'm just gonna tell you he's real and he loves you. And I just want to let you guys know, hang in here with us. Support this campaign. And I'll just say to my opponents, Christine Drazen, Chris Dudley and Danielle Bethel and others, you guys aren't my opponents. We're all in this together. I have pledged to completely support if this campaign isn't successful. I have pledged to completely support, with all 100% of the backing here, to whoever wins the primary. So we're already divided enough as Republicans in the state. I'm not going to try to contribute to that divide at all. Those are all great candidates that would make great governors more than the current one that is destroying the state right now.

Benny Johnson (68:47)

David Medina is right here at his brand new campaign site, Come Together and Heal Oregon. And you're exactly right. Like God is real. God. God loves Oregon. God created Oregon. God made, actually, God made Oregon, you know, like he doesn't want it to see descended into madness. It is one of the most naturally gifted and beautiful, beautiful states in the entire country. I'm always struck at how gorgeous it is from the plane when I'm landing. But then I get down into Portland, I'm like, oh, my gosh, you know, it looks like heaven, but then it turns into hell when you get downtown Portland.

Church member or congregant (69:22)

We're gonna fix that.

Benny Johnson (69:23)

Yeah, we can fix that. And David Medina is the man to do it. This is my endorsement for governor right here.

Church member or congregant (69:28)

Thank you, Benny. I appreciate you.

Benny Johnson (69:30)

And look at all the wonderful people behind him. It looks like he's got the. Look at that. It looks like he's got the whole state at his back. It's so incredible to see. It's so inspiring. God. Godspeed, David. His. All the links are in the description. You can follow David here. And that's his campaign website. Can you give the URL of your campaign website, David?

Church member or congregant (69:48)

Yes, it's Medina. For Oregon. We need people to dig deep. We need people to max out. We are all in. I'm all in. I'm putting everything online. We need everybody to get. Find your courage, find your voice. Let's go, Oregon.

Benny Johnson (69:58)

Let's go. Let's go. Godspeed, David. We got your back, man. Thank you, brother. All right. Well, I wonder what David Medina's polling is going to look like. It's exciting to see people who we've had kind of enough, you know, we've worked with them, David. Worked at this company for the better part of two years. It's incredible to see the spirit of God moving, to see, like, the energy out there and to see us all making a difference. Exciting to see young people also, like, taking, taking charge and jumping in and having the desire to save their country. It's really cool. Let's go ahead and check the polls. We don't have a David Medina poll because, well, that news just broke, but we do have some Greenland polling. How will the US acquire Greenland in 2026? Let's go. This is looking good. It's the highest that it's ever been. Will the Greenland. Will America acquire Greenland in 2026? And Polymark? A 25% chance. President Trump was making some big moves this weekend. And in fact, Europeans are already surrendering effectively Greenland and admitting that they can't defend the island. There's this pathetic force that was sent to defend it. Like, like, it's like one Brit, one Norwegian, one Belgian, and 10 Germans. And then the Germans all retreated as soon as Trump said he was going to tariff every single country that sent their troops to Greenland. Greenland is necessary for the United States of America because it is in our hemisphere, because we already owned it when the Danish were conquered without the Nazis firing even a shot, America became the administrators of Greenland. We should have just kept it. Then for some reason, we were so cucked and stupid and weak. We gave it all back to the Europeans for absolutely no reason. We're the only ones that prevented Greenland from becoming a Nazi U boat base to launch attacks and kill a bunch of Americans right on our seaboard. So we've already conquered this island. It is something that is rich in natural resources, rich in exposure to the Arctic. It makes us surround Canada as a nation. And most importantly, if it's not us, it's going to be Russia or China that try to gobble it up in order to gain full control of the Arctic passageways, which will become the new shipping routes around the world. As icebreakers plow new routes through the Arctic, that is going to be the way that goods and services move through the earth. And so Greenland, ladies and gentlemen. Absolutely, essentially. And something that is worth buying, which I think is the role right now that Trump has put Marco Rubio and a number of other people from the administration in, just come up with a deal. America has, of course, purchased its entire empire. Obviously, there is plenty of conquest to be done, but most of American land was simply bought, bought from Russia, bought from European powers, including the Danish, which sold us the Virgin Islands. So Good job, guys. $25 million worth of gold. America bought the Virgin Islands. I think it was 1917, so about 100 years ago. So just sell us Greenland. You can't defend it, you can't protect it. You can't provide anything for the people of Greenland. And you tried to kill them all. You know, you can go back in the 1970s, like there was a really pernicious thing that happened where the Danish government tried to implant sterilization devices into all the women of Greenland to try and just like decimate the population there. It's awful. Completely evil. So, yeah, America should own Greenland. This looks like a win. This bet looks like a complete win. Here's the European forces that were sent to defend Greenland. Look at this. Oh my. Oh my goodness. Get me Stephen Miller, please, on Greenland and his defense of it. I know that we played it. I want like a full, want a full throated defense of why America must have Greenland. Because I really do believe, guys, that this is going to happen. This isn't just something that's like a pipe dream, like America's going to own Canada. That'll be, that'll be different. Hopefully that'll happen in my lifetime. That would be amazing. But this is something that isn't just. This is something that, that they are going to do. You can tell, like listen to Stephen Miller here. The administration is dead set serious on this and it makes actually a ton of sense. Let's go.

Stephen Miller (74:52)

It's been the formal position of the US Government since the beginning of this administration, frankly, going back into the previous Trump administration, that Greenland should be part of the United States. The President has been very clear about that. That is the formal position of the US Government.

Harmeet Dhillon (75:08)

Right, but can you say that military.

Stephen Miller (75:09)

Action against Greenland is off the table? Military action against Greenland? The. The Greenland has a population of 30,000 people, Jake. The real question is by what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim? What is their basic basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark? The United States is the power of Naito for the United States to secure the Arctic region to protect and defend NATO and NATO interests. Obviously Greenland should be part of the United States. And so that's a conversation that we're going to have as a country. That's a process we're going to have as a, as a community of nations. So you cannot take it off the.

Benny Johnson (75:49)

Table that the US Would use military.

Stephen Miller (75:50)

Force to save seize Greenland. You understand? You're trying very hard to. Which, which again is your job. I respect it is great to get exactly the headline right. That catchy headline trying to get an answer that says that says Miller refuses to rule out the the United States should have Greenland as part of the United States. There's no need to even think or talk about this in the context the jurisdiction asking of a military operation. Nobody's going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland. One last question, Stephen.

Benny Johnson (76:28)

Not exactly the clip I was thinking about because he was on recently. I think it was the Fox clip. But it was perfect explanation. And Trump's explanation also is an excellent explanation. Trump's explanation at the White House last week. I become obsessed by the way with Greenland. We plan on visiting Greenland. I've been dming a member of the parliament in Greenland reached out and they want to be. I'm not sure that the people of Greenland are 100 ready to be all Americans yet. There's only like 50,000, 30,000 maybe people of Greenland, they want to be liberated from European slavery. They want to be liberated from being a colonial property of the Danish. Could you imagine anything worse than that? 56,000 people. Okay. Do you know how much we spend every single year in protecting Europe? Do you know there wouldn't be a Europe without the United States of America? The best investment Europe ever made was actually putting settlers on our continent because that protected European culture better than the Europeans. Protected European culture. We have been the protectorate of all of Europe for the last 150 years. We spend a fortune in protecting Europe. Look at this. NATO spending by percentage of gdp. Enough, Enough of this. Enough. Like Greenland should just simply be our tribute. European colonial properties that America wishes to administer. Well, we already administer them because we're clearly the only ones that are invested in protecting them. So it should be an absolute no brainer, ladies and gentlemen. A no brainer. You should have a no brainer decision when it comes to investing in gold. Ladies and gentlemen, investing in gold has been a pretty easy decision for me. I did it a couple of years ago. You know, we quite frankly like didn't have much but I said, man, the way that the economy go is going and the way that the markets are going, it's just best to probably have something that is really solid and boy, has that paid off. Gold is at all time highs and I don't think that it's ever going to dip. But what do I know? I'm just saying that you can go through and you can track that this asset has remained valuable through all time and through all generations. And it's best to just get your get your hands on some physical gold and silver. My friends at Advantage Gold have helped me do that. Text Advantage Gold by texting BENNY to 8 to 5545 right now and get started on your gold journey in the golden era. That's Benny B E N N Y to 85545 right now. You'll instantly get a free gold investment kit and the gold rally continues. Text Benny to 85545 right now. Make sure that you are profiting in this golden era. Okay? Ladies and gentlemen, California governor's race thrown into chaos as Eric Swalwell is accused of not living in the state California so expensive that the lead Democrat candidate, he is not the leading candidate by the way. There are two Republicans, Steve Hilton and Sheriff Blanco who are ahead of him. Also, like I think leading Eric Swalwell is people that have no choice, right? People that aren't sure who they're going to vote for. People who haven't made their decision yet. So Eric Swalwell was literally losing to nobody. But anyway, he's also losing to his own idiocy here. He, Eric Swalwell continue like is constantly attacking Trump and touting California values. But Eric Swalwell doesn't actually live in California. He's facing a major hurdle in his bid to succeed Gavin Newsom. Allegedly, he doesn't live in the state. The California Constitution requires that a gubernatorial candidate has resided in the Golden State for the previous five years. But a new lawsuit filed by activists claims that his home address listed Swalwell's election paperwork is actually A lawyer's office claims that the Democrats real Abode is a $1.2 million six bedroom mansion in Washington D.C. that he shares with his wife. According to the complaint, this property was listed as the couple's principal residence when they took out a mortgage in 2022. Now Eric Swallow was also being investigated by the DOJ for mortgage fraud. So this sort of blends into it. Swal, who considered one of the favorites to win the gubernatorial race, does not appear to own any property in California at all. COBRA claims in his five page petition to the writ of mandate filed to the California Secretary of State. He accuses the lefty congressman of perjury and urges Weber to declare him ineligible to succeed the governor of California.

Mark Harris (81:31)

Wow.

Benny Johnson (81:32)

Eric Swalwell has no California address. Goodness gracious. How are you going to get yourself out of that one? What are you gonna do? How, how are you gonna like reverse engineer that? Oh look, I just bought a place it's not gonna work, dude. It's not gonna work. Okay, all right, we'll see here, ladies and gentlemen. We'll see. I always have my coffee with me.

A lot of news and that's what we're here for. We will be here to lock in with you. Thank you for letting us roll last week. You know, we took three days off the show in the middle of the week in order to go to California. We're working right now on that investigation. It's going to be a wild one. So lock in. And if I can give you one piece of advice today, it is lock in with your Lord and savior. The protection of the face, the protection of the faith and the protection of Christianity and our Christian nation is foremost to this program. And it is something that we take very, very seriously. The whole purpose of the show is the protection of our nation for our children, to make sure that we are among what Psalms calls a righteous generation that gives an inheritance, an inheritance to our children's children. And so let us do that with our verse of the day from Deuteronomy 16. Justice and only justice you shall follow that you may live and inherit the land that the Lord your God has given you. God gave us Minnesota. We shouldn't allow it to be taken over by rabid orcs. We should fight for it. We shouldn't like sell it off Canada, you know, swap it for Alberta. The Alberta freedom movement is pretty awesome. That's something that's probably going to happen. The Alberta independence movement is amazing. But nonetheless, don't give up. Fight for justice. That's what we're going to do on this program and potentially later this week, we'll see. It's your boy, Benny. Thank you for fighting with us, standing with us, marching with us. And remember, in the end, we win. See ya.
