Benny Johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, Today is Monday, December 15, 2025. President Trump will be live soon. This was a live with the Department of War. He's going to be talking about illegal immigration. That does have to do with some of the horrible terroristic attacks in our nation. Obviously we're grieving over the loss of life from national guardsmen in Washington D.C. also, our show exclusively broke footage of another Afghan national promising to create a car bomb in his taxi and blow up buildings in Dallas, Texas. Obviously World Trade Center 1 had car bombs and bombs that nearly took the towers down in 1992. Don't sleep on guys who want to build a car bomb.

Donald Trump

Benny Johnson
And thankfully that guy was arrested before that even happened. So that's what Donald Trump's gonna talk about today. President Trump has obviously created a little bit of controversy with his reaction to Rob Reiner getting killed by his own son. And I guess we can say that now because his kid's been arrested. We'll cover all this off the top. Dark days man. Also a college Republican leader, evangelical Christian conservative, actually I think Catholic, but nonetheless Christian crusader killed in at Brown University. And there's obviously a cover up going on because they have thousands of cameras at that school and they haven't released any of the footage of what happened. Why? Because it shows this was another political targeting. And get into it today. My name is Benny Johnson and this is Benny show just a little bit later actually it's going to be the Trump show today. We just got back from traveling. Thank you for obviously being flexible with us. We were on the road traveling with my family. We did a bunch of stuff over the weekend. We were in New York and we were in D.C. and we were supposed to be there with President Trump yesterday when he made all these comments about all these killings. Were supposed to be there at the White House at the what was called the Children's Christmas Party. But they literally canceled all the flights out of New York back to D.C. so we weren't able to make it. But we were able to bring our kids to the White House this morning and had a great time. I have plenty of fun photos I'll be happy to share with you taken from my Patriot mobile device.

Donald Trump
The Netherlands. We had very long and very good talks, and again, I think things are going along pretty well. 27,000 soldiers were killed last month. Shouldn't happen. Should have never happened. Should have never started that war. Should have never, ever started. But it did, and we're trying to get it solved. That was Biden's situation. We're trying to get it done. And I think we're closer now, and they will tell you that they're closer now. We had numerous conversations with President Putin of Russia, and I think we're closer now than we have been ever. And we'll see what we can do. We want to save a lot of lives. We sell equipment to NATO. We don't spend any money, but we do want to see if we can save a lot of lives. When you're losing 25,000 to 30,000 soldiers, mostly soldiers, other people, too, from towns and like, places like Kiev, various other places throughout Ukraine. It's pretty bad. Nobody has seen anything like it actually since World War II. But we're. We're getting closer. We're having tremendous support from European leaders. They want to get it ended also. And at this moment, Russia wants to get it ended. The problem is they'll want to get it ended, and then all of a sudden they won't. And Ukraine will want to get it ended, and all of a sudden they won't. So we have to get them on the same page. But I think that's Working alone. Very good talk. On day one of my administration, I signed an executive order making it core mission of the United States military to protect and defend their homeland. And today we're here to honor our military men and women for their central role in the protection of our border. Something that I campaigned very, very strongly on. And they made me look really good. They were unbelievable. They made us all look good. I mean, we went from having millions of people pouring over our border to having none in the last eight months. None. In a few moments, we'll officially recognize their service by awarding them the Mexican Border Defense Medal, which is a big deal. We're joined for this occasion by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Chairman of The Joint Chiefs, General Dan Kaine, commander of U.S. northern Command, General Gregory Geil, commander of the Southern Border Task Force, Major General Scott Nomen Command Sergeant Major Brett Johnson of the U.S. army's 10th Mountain Division, Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Agency Terry Cole, and many other members of our administration who have done an incredible job on the border. You know, people forget now that the border has been secure for actually seven months. Think of it more. And they don't mention the border anymore. Nobody talks about the border. They talk about affordability, and we're the ones that are bringing the prices down. We were given the worst inflation in our country's history, and we're bringing the prices down. But the affordability is on the Democrats because they have made it unaffordable to be in this country. But we're bringing those prices down, and they're coming down quickly. Energy is coming way down. And if you look, gasoline prices are hitting in many locations, $1.99 a gallon. Nobody thought they'd see that. There were four, five and six dollars a gallon under Biden in the four years before I took office, our southern border was surrendered to criminals, drug cartels, human traffickers, and child smugglers. Our entire southwest border on the Mexican side is under the physical control of cartels that are among the most violent entities nobody's ever seen anywhere on the planet. The most violent people on the planet. Remember when the Democrats and others, the radical left, used to say that the people they're allowing into our country, immigrants, are nice people. They're not violent like our people. Well, they make our people look like babies. These are some of the most violent criminals anywhere on Earth from many countries, not just Venezuela. Venezuela emptied their jails into our country, but others have also. The Congo has. So many other countries have. And we don't put up with it. I have to say the drugs coming in by sea are down 94%. And we're trying to figure out who the other 6% are, but they're down 94%, and we're going to start hitting them on land, which is a lot easier to do, frankly. But these are a direct military threat to the United States of America. They're trying to drug out our country. And you can look throughout history, look at China. When they were loaded up with drugs, they were suffering greatly, and others were able to take them over, and other countries also. They're trying to drug out our country, and we're reversing it rapidly, actually. But with the help of our great service members, we've stopped the invasion in its tracks. And we're dismantling the cartels very rapidly. And they are being declared enemies of the United States of America. And they have been so declared, legally declared. More than 25,000 warriors have served in this historic operation. It is indeed an incredible and historic operation. And we've never done anything so effectively. And we've had a lot of victories. They've spent night and day enduring scorching hot and bitter cold. And they've given up their holidays and their weekends working with the officers of Customs and Border Protection. Our armed forces have already conducted nearly 13,000 patrols along the border. And today, we give these great warriors the recognition that they have earned, and they have really earned it. The military component of our border security efforts is just the beginning. We're also designating the drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. A big deal from a legal standpoint and military standpoint. We've ended catch and release, and we endured and ensured that anyone who sets foot across our border illegally is intercepted, arrested, and immediately deported. Or if they're really bad, they're put into prison. Because we don't want to ever take a chance if they come back. As a result, illegal border crossings have plummeted to the lowest level ever recorded in the history of our country. Think of that. The history of our country. You can all be very proud. For the past seven months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States of America. We inherited the worst border in the history of our country. One of the worst borders, I would say, in the world. I can't imagine any border in the world being worse when they allowed 25 million people to come in. And again, many of these people are gang members and from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums, and some of the worst people on earth. They're allowed to come into our country. We're getting a lot of them out. We're getting, we've made a big dent and the self deportation is something nobody talks about. But literally millions of people are self deporting because they don't want to be captured. Once they're captured, they don't have the chance to self deport. They never have the chance to come back into our country. We inherited that border from an incompetent administration and turned it into the strongest border in the history of our country. So we took the worst border in the history of our country and in a period of two months we turned it into the strongest border in the history of our country. During this time we've also achieved a 50% drop in, in the amount of fentanyl coming across the border. And China is working with us very closely on bringing down the number and the amount of fentanyl that's being shipped. You know, fentanyl is very bad when you mix it with certain ingredients. But it also is very important for medicine, for anesthesia, various other things. I want people to understand that it's not made necessarily for bad. When it's mixed with certain things, it becomes bad. And that's what's taking place in Mexico. And we've got it down to a much lower number. Not satisfactory, but it will be satisfactory soon. In May, we executed the largest fentanyl bust in the history of the US seizing 3 million fentanyl pills all at one time. Think of that, 3 million pills. It's amounted to billions of dollars worth of drugs. And last month we seized another 1.7 million fentanyl pills in the state of Colorado, the poorly run state of Colorado, with a governor who's incompetent and frankly, with a governor that won't allow our wonderful Tina to come out of a jail in a high intensity jail because she caught people cheating on an election. And they said she was cheating, she wasn't cheating. She went over, she looked at one of the election scams going on and because she did that, they put her in jail for nine years. The governor of Colorado is a weak and pathetic man who was run by Trend Aragua. The criminals from Venezuela took over sections of Colorado and he was afraid to do anything. But he puts Tina in jail for nine years because she caught people cheating. And when she walked over and got involved in it, they said she was cheating. She wasn't cheating. She caught people cheating on the election 2020, along with a lot of other people that cheated on that election. You'll see that coming out more and more. But there's no doubt that America's adversaries are trafficking fentanyl into the United States in part because they want to kill Americans. If this were a war, that would be one of the worst wars. I believe they killed over the last five or six years, per year, 200 to 300,000 people. You hear about 100,000, which is a lot of people, but the number is much higher than that that's been proven. And they've destroyed a lot of families because when they lose a child, or even if their child is heavily addicted, you lose that family, the family will never be the same. That's why today I'm taking one more step to protect Americans from the scourge of deadly fentanyl flooding into our country with this historic executive order I will sign today. We're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, which is what it is. No bomb does what this is doing. 200,000 to 300,000 people die every year that we know of. So we're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. But before I sign the fentanyl order, we will pin these great service members with their medals. And here today are the first 13 warriors who will receive the Mexican Border Defense Medal, which is a big deal. First, I'd like to ask Secretary Pegseth and Chairman Kaine to say a few words. I'd like to have Tom Homan come up, please, if you would say a few words. And I want to thank all of the people, Pam and everybody. Stephen Miller. Great Stephen Miller. What a job he's doing for being here. Thank you both. Appreciate it very much. We have so many great people here. But I do want to ask Tom to say a few words also. So, Pete, why don't you start it off, please? Thank you, sir. Mr. President. Thank you. I would echo what you said. This has been a team effort from the beginning. Tom Holman, Terry Cole, Stephen Miller, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Customs and Border Patrol Protection. It has been one team, one mission to get 100% operational control of the southern border. You want to talk about America first? Peace through strength and common sense. It all manifests in one basic phrase down there. Border security is national security. And we had the task of 100% control. And because of these men and women.
- [16:36]
Benny Johnson
Back here, we've achieved that.
- [16:38]
Donald Trump
Nobody is crossing the southern border. And I want to give a big shout out to our northern command, General Guillaume. From day one, our department didn't look at the border this way. Before. Before you. Joe Biden allowed an invasion of this country. Tens of millions of people, drugs, gangs, violence, and the military jumped to it on day one with our partners. Ultimately, it was incredible.
- [16:59]
Benny Johnson
Americans, there's 13 up here with us today.
- [17:02]
Donald Trump
They all represent about 2,000 people who have served at the border so far. So 25,000Americans qualify for this Mexican National Defense Border Medal that we're announcing today. And what's cool about this medal, it was actually first given out in 1918. So we're reviving an old medal that existed, was given to men and women who defended the southern border. We found out about it. We used the exact same foundry with the exact same imagery, same color, same metal, same everything. So our men and women will be.
- [17:30]
Benny Johnson
Wearing that very same metal as Americans.
- [17:32]
Donald Trump
100 years before, who were asked to.
- [17:34]
Benny Johnson
Defend the sovereignty of our country.
- [17:36]
Donald Trump
President Trump was elected to do that. You have done that, Mr. President. We're proud of this mission. We're proud to defend the American people. And pinning these medals on is an example of how important it is to us.
- [17:45]
Benny Johnson
So thank you, Mr. President.
- [17:46]
Donald Trump
Appreciate it. Thank you. Well, Mr. President, Mr. Secretary, I want to echo your thanks and gratitude for the Joint Force. I also want to highlight General Guillot, General Naumann, and Command Sergeant Major Johnson, but also leaders at every level that came together, not just in our Joint Force, but in the interagency. And I want to specifically highlight our Border Patrol teammates and our Office of Air and Marine Teammates, who, when I went down to the southern border and visited, were right there next to the Joint Force. I also want to thank not just these 13 individuals, but the Joint Force that was also down there and your families who poured in to make this deployment possible on the southern border. And, of course, this time of the year, I'm always thinking about our currently deployed forces who are out there around the world doing our nation's business, and of course, our fallen and their families who show what courage and tenacity really are as they move forward after the loss of a service member. So thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Tom, please.
- [19:00]
Tom Homan
You know, it's always an honor for me to be in the Oval Office with the greatest president of my lifetime. Yes, I said it and I meant it. You know, I was just. I just got home last night. I toured the border in California. I did it on the river. I did it from the air. Hundreds upon hundreds of miles of border. I didn't see one illegal alien, not a single one. I've done this since 1984, I worked for six different presidents. None has done more than President Trump. What he has done is gave us the most secure border in the history of of this nation. Hard stop. I went hundreds of miles of border and didn't see one illegal alien. Incredible. Considering the Biden administration, we had 10, 12,000 a day, most released in the United States. I'm proud to be with these patriots behind me. I'm already proud to be in the Oval Office of the President. But being with these heroes, I met some of these soldiers down on the border and actually a shout out to Fort Drum, New York. We got some 10th Mountain Division here. So Elise Stefanik, Claudia Tennant. We all love Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain. So look, this is a game changer. I want to make something perfectly clear because we get attacked all the time. Being inhumane. The Biden administration is much more humane. It's just a bunch of crap because there's been studies done that 31% of women that make that journey through the cartels get sexually assaulted. They get raped. And not just the women, children too. I've done numerous investigations in that Sex trafficking was historic highs with an open border Fentanyl. Historic highs that killed a quarter million Americans. No, inspector. Terrorists that came across the border record historic. What happened under the Biden administration was the most inhumane thing I've seen in my lifetime. Now that the border is 96% decline, 96% less people are coming. How many women aren't being raped? How many children aren't dying making that journey? How many women and children aren't being sex trafficked into this country every day? How many known suspected terrorists aren't just walking across that border? President Trump in this administration is saving thousands of lives every month. Hard stop. That's just a stone cold fact. I'm just proud to be a part of this. I work with Steve Miller every day. Steve Miller is one of the most brilliant people I met in my entire life. President Trump brought together one hell of a team here. And the success proved we all working together. One team, one fight. We're not done yet. We're going to keep going and I guarantee you we can continue saving thousands and thousands of lives. Secure border means strong national security. Secure border saves lives. Thank you.
- [21:56]
Donald Trump
Thank you. Okay, let's do the medals and I'll be signing this. Maybe you'll do the medals first and then I'll sign. Okay. Please. Nice money. It's not bad. That's a great job. It. Great job. Great job. Fell. No auto pen. None ever. We don't like auto pens. Right? We don't like auto pens. How about gathering around me and we'll hold this up. Congratulations. That's an amazing job. Come on around. Come on around. Let's take a good picture. Fantastic job, you guys. Fantastic job. Thank you very much. Great job. Thank you, Mr. President. What you've done is unprecedented. How about holding that up, you guys? Hold it up nicely. Hold it up. You deserve it more than me. So I'm going to give you another metal though that may be more beautiful. I'm not sure it means as much, but it's really good. Okay, this is gun metal. This is the one the military loves. So we're going to start. Okay, thank you. Here you go.
- [25:02]
Benny Johnson
Thank you, Mr. President.
- [25:03]
Donald Trump
Pretty nice. Want to compare it? Let me see. Compare it. Let me see how that looks.
- [25:06]
Tom Homan
I don't know.
- [25:07]
Donald Trump
That looks pretty good. Thank you, Mr. But that means something very special. Thank you, Mr. Thank you.
- [25:16]
Benny Johnson
Thanks, Mr. President.
- [25:22]
Donald Trump
Thank you very much. You can what you can do t around your neck, a nice ribbon. I think you'll like it special. We don't give it to many people. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. Come on over here. Come here. That's four sides up big. That means a lot up there. Hey, General, come on over here. Even though you have one, I gave him one. Now this general right here, General raising case. He's a great general. Thank you, President. Well, thank you very much, everybody. It's an honor. This is a fantastic, fantastic moment. I haven't done this before. And the job they've done on the border is unthinkable. What they left us with, that they would have open borders with millions of people, 25 million people, probably more than that, pouring into our border totally unchecked and unvetted. Now we have the opposite. And we now we want people in our country, but they have to come in legally and they know that and they know they're not getting through. So now they don't even try. So all of the death that Tom Hallman talked about, the rape and the death and all the problems doesn't have really happen because the caravans, a name I think I came up with maybe, maybe not. But the caravans are very small. In fact, for the most part, they don't even exist anymore because they know they're not going to get through. In a little while, you'll be seeing I'm suing the BBC for putting words in my mouth. Literally to put words in my mouth. They had me saying things that I never said coming out. I guess they used AI or something. So we'll be bringing that lawsuit. A lot of people are asking, when are you bringing that lawsuit? Even the media can't believe that one. They would. They actually put terrible words in my mouth having to do with January 6th that I didn't say and the beautiful words that I said. Right. They're beautiful words. Talking about patriotism and all of the good things that I said. They didn't say that, but they put terrible words. They actually have me speaking with words that I never said. And they got caught because I believe somebody at BBC said, this is so bad it has to be reported. That's called fake news. So we'll be filing that suit probably this afternoon or tomorrow morning. I want to thank all of you for being here. If you have any questions, I guess you could ask. But this is really a day of celebration for these people. The job they've done is really unprecedented. So go ahead. Do you know what the motive of the shooter was? Is it. No, we don't. That's moving along now, and we don't. And we'll. We're going to see what happens. Hopefully they're going to capture this animal. Hopefully they're going to capture.
- [28:29]
Benny Johnson
Has Kash Patel told you why it's.
- [28:30]
Donald Trump
Been so difficult for the FBI to identify who the shooter is? Well, it's always difficult. So far, we've done a very good job of doing it with Charlie, with, you know, the various times this has happened. They've done it in pretty much record time. But you really have to ask the school a little bit more about that because, you know, this was a. A school problem. They had their own guards, they had their own police, they had their own everything. But you'd have to ask that question really to the school, not to the FBI. We came in after the fact, and the FBI will do a good job. But they came in after the fact. Do you know if it was targeted, Mr. President? No, they don't know that yet, no, sir.
- [29:12]
Benny Johnson
On the issue of drugs, is it accurate that you are considering an executive order to reclassify marijuana?
- [29:19]
Donald Trump
We are considering that, yeah. Are you planning. Because a lot of people want to see it, the reclassification, because it leads to tremendous amounts of research that can't be done unless you reclassify. So we are looking at that very strongly, Mr. President. Mr. President, is it true that the reports that you reviewed the Israeli prime minister. Are the reports that you reviewed the Israeli prime minister for the hit on.
- [29:45]
Benny Johnson
The Hamas general, true? And is Israel undermining your efforts to be a peacemaker?
- [29:49]
Donald Trump
No, Israel and I have gotten along very well. My relationship with Bibi Netanyahu has been obviously a very good one. Look, we, we took out Iran. We, we, we wiped out with that plane right there. We wiped out the B2 bomber, we wiped out the Iran nuclear threat, and because of that, we were able to make peace in the Middle East. No, we've had a very good relationship with Israel. We actually have a very good relationship with just about everybody in the Middle East. But was that a violation of the cease fire, the strike of the Hamas general? We're going to have to see. We're looking into that.
- [30:25]
Benny Johnson
Mr. President, on the Syria ambush of U.S. forces, do you still have confidence in the Syrian president?
- [30:33]
Donald Trump
I do. I mean, this had nothing to do with him. This is a part of Syria that they really don't have much control over. And it was a surprise. He feels very badly about it. He's working on it. He's a strong man. And no, this had nothing to do with the Syrian government. This had to do with isis. What will the US response? Beijing as a response? They'll be hit hard. Yah. Javier Negre Real Americas Voyage en Espanol first of all, thanks for honoring these heroes. The communists have lost Chile. The pro Trump candidate Jose Antonio Cast won the elections. Do you think this right wing wave in the Spanish world is due to your influence? Well, I just, we just had a good one in Honduras, as you know, had a great election there. I endorsed somebody that was not leading and he won the election and we had a good one. Just a little couple of hours ago, I found out in Chile the person I endorsed who was not leading ended up winning quite easily. So I look forward to paying my respects to him. I hear he's a very good person. Thank you.
- [31:34]
Benny Johnson
Mr. President, this year you fired Democrats from a number of federal agencies. And now going into 2026, there are some key regulators like the SEC, the CFTC that are going to have zero Democrats. Do you plan to appoint Democrats to fill those empty spots or do you think that federal agencies shouldn't have Democrat commissioners?
- [31:52]
Donald Trump
Well, do you think they would be appointing Republicans if it were up to them? So, you know, we'll look at it. Look, we want to be fair, but typically they're not appointing Republicans. So you're asking me the question whether or not I'd appoint Democrats. But there are certain areas that we do look at and there are certain areas that we do share and share power and I'M open to that. Please. Mr. President, a number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Truth Social after the murder of Rob Reiner. Do you stand by that post? Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. He said he liked. He knew it was false. In fact, it's the exact opposite that I was a friend of Russia, controlled by Russia. You know, it was the Russia hoax. He was one of the people behind it. I think he hurt himself in career wise. He became like a deranged person. Trump derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought it was very bad for our country. Yeah. Mr. President, Leader Thune doesn't seem like.
- [32:54]
Benny Johnson
He wants to get rid of blue slips.
- [32:56]
Donald Trump
Will there be consequences for the Senate? Well, I think they should get rid of blue slips because as a Republican president, I am unable to put anybody in office having to do with US Attorneys or having to do with judges. In other words, if you have one, not two, you don't need two, just one. If you have one Democrat senator, where we have a lot of them, you have one Democrat senator in a state it is not possible to appoint because of blue slips, a judge, it's not possible to appoint a U.S. attorney. You see that happening. And I think it's a disgrace. I think blue slips are a disgrace. They've long since. I mean, they're not, they should not be relevant anymore. This is a different world than it was 15, 20 years ago. You know, that was a gentleman and gentlewoman world. This is a little bit different, Unfortunately. Yeah. Please, Mr. President, what do you want to see Congress do this week as.
- [33:52]
Benny Johnson
It relates to health care and the expiring aca?
- [33:55]
Donald Trump
Yeah, that's a good question. I'd like to see the people get the money. I'd like to see all of the money that's going to the Democrat insurance companies. You know, the insurance companies are making a Fortune. They're up 1,700% and more and they're taking in higher hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars, even trillions of dollars. And Obamacare gives you terrible healthcare. Just so you understand, Obamacare was set up, and I said it right from the beginning, for the benefit of the health insurance insurance companies. Of the insurance companies. They're making billions and billions of dollars. Their stock is through the roof. I don't want to give them anything. I want all money going to the people and let the people Buy their own healthcare. It'll be unbelievable. They'll do a great job. They'll get much better health care at a much lower cost.
- [34:48]
Benny Johnson
Sir, please, would you like Republicans next year to just use reconciliation to do with healthcare? Exactly what you laid out. And they wouldn't have to worry about Democrats, but.
- [35:02]
Donald Trump
Well, that or knock out the filibuster. If you knocked out the filibuster, it would all go away. But we have a few people that wouldn't do that. It's crazy. Look, we should knock out the filibuster. And if you did that, we'd get voter id, you'd have no mail in voting. All things that make our elections dishonest. And you'd get a lot of other things having not even to do with voting. But Republicans should knock out the filibuster and we should approve a lot of things. You wouldn't have January 30th looming because, you know, you have. You have the 30th of January looming. You know that. Right? And if we knocked out the filibuster, it would be just a simple approval. But you have some Republicans that. They're unable to explain why. You know, they. If you ask them why they're unable to explain it, they cannot win the Democratic debate. But they should knock out the filibuster. And frankly, they should get rid of the blue slips, too. Yes. Mr. President, the Democrats won Miami, where you won the election one year ago. Do you think it's because of Hispanic media like Telemundo that are publishing fake news about the ICE operations? How do you plan to win back those votes for midterms? Yeah, well, I won that whole election. And, you know, it's interesting, when I'm not running, we don't do as well. And I'm going to try and get that changed for the midterms. But we did have a big win in Tennessee. As you know, Matt Van Epps. Van Epps had a big win in Tennessee against a very strong candidate, attractive candidate, who a lot of people thought would do very well. And Matt won by a lot. And I won Tennessee by a real lot. You know, we had a great. We had a great election. We won every single swing state. We won the popular vote. We won everything. And there's a thing that they have now, districts, which is a big deal. I think, in a way, it's the most important stat from the standpoint of, you know, looking at numbers accurately. So out of thousands of districts, I won 2,750 versus 525. Think of that, 2,750 versus 525. It was great. That's why the map, when you see a map of the election, it's all red, other than two little narrow lines on the other side. Please, sir.

Jimmy Lai was convicted today in Hong Kong. Do you have any reactions?
- [37:26]
Donald Trump
I feel so badly. I spoke to President Xi about it and I asked to consider his release. He's not well. He's an older man and he's not well. So I did put that request out. We'll see what happens. Okay? Yeah, please. Kate, question about Ukraine.
- [37:47]
Benny Johnson
Now that the meetings in Berlin have wrapped up with Zelensky, is there a timetable for going to Moscow?
- [37:54]
Donald Trump
Is the delegation going? Well? I think that the delegation is largely there right now. Actually. They're in Europe and they met with those people that I called out before. The various countries, plus some others. They want to see it end, Katie. They want to see it end. They all. I want to see it end. They want to see it end. I actually think that President Putin wants to see it end. You know, I've had good talks. We've had good talks with Russia, and I think they'd like to get back to a more normal way of life. Mr. President, follow up there.
- [38:27]
Benny Johnson
An Article 5 like deal seems to be emerging without NATO members membership for Ukraine. If such a security guarantee is offered, what incentive is there for Ukraine to.
- [38:40]
Donald Trump
Give up any sort of territory? Well, look, you have. Well, they've already lost the territory, to be honest. I mean, the territory is lost. But in terms of security guarantee, we're working. We're working with Europe on it. Europe would be a big part of that. And we're working on the security guarantee so the war doesn't start up again. We don't want to have a war startup again. You know, as I said, with Thailand and Cambodia, two people I get along with great. And I dealt with them and I called them and I said, look, fellas, you got to relax, you got to take it easy. They lost, you know, they started the war again. I got it ended. And things like that are going to happen. War, there's nothing, nothing pretty about war. Nothing good. And there's nothing you can do to predict what's going to happen. But I think we've made a lot of progress with respect to Russia and Ukraine. I hope. I hope. You know, last. Last month, it was close to 27,000 soldiers were killed, mostly soldiers, but 27,000 people, but mostly soldiers were killed last month in Russia versus Ukraine.
- [39:45]
Benny Johnson
Is there a time limit on security?
- [39:46]
Donald Trump
Guarantees? Well, there's no time limit. The time limit is whenever we get it done. I mean, we're going to try to get it done. We're making progress. It's more difficult than anybody could have thought. I would have said that half of the wars that I got settled, some were going for over 30 years, that half of them should have been more difficult. And they actually haven't been. There's a lot of dislike between the two leaders, you know that. And so it probably makes it a little bit tough. Have you spoken directly to Putin? Have you recently spoken directly to Putin? Yeah, I have. On Syria, Mr. President, on the US troops killed in Syria over the weekend, why do we have troops in Syria? Because we're trying to make sure that there's going to be and remain peace in the Middle east and Syria is a big part of it. The new leader is a strong person and that's what you need. This is a rough part of the world and we've, it's been amazing what's taken place in Syria. We got rid of Assad, we got rid of other people that were really bad people and that were in the way of peace in the Middle East. You know, we have legitimate peace in the Middle east, first time in 3,000 years and we have 59 countries backing it. And we'll see what happens with Hamas, we'll see what happens with Hezbollah. But regardless, I mean, we have countries that want to go in and clean that out if we want them to do it. But they said, in the case of Hamas, they said that they're going to disarm and we're going to find out whether or not that's true. Hezbollah in Lebanon has been a problem. We'll see what happens there. But there is legitimate large scale peace in the Middle east. And if there weren't, we wouldn't have been able to make all of those deals that we've made with the various countries. They would have never been able to do that. If, for instance, if Iran, if we didn't, with that B2 bomber right there on the desk, if we didn't, of which we just ordered a lot more of the newer version, totally stealth, they could not see it. They knew it was coming. They had no idea where it was. It was pretty amazing, actually. Every bomb hit its mark perfectly. Despite CNN trying to say differently. They didn't know. They just, you know, hoped. They hoped that we didn't, but turned out that they did. Atomic Energy Commission confirmed it. So did actually. So did Iran confirm it. They got knocked to hell. But if we didn't knock out their nuclear capability, we would have never had peace in the Middle east because you would have had a dark cloud hanging over Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and all the other countries and they would have never, ever been able to sign an agreement. Yeah, please.
- [42:28]
Benny Johnson
How soon do you expect that international stabilization force to be up and running in Gaza?
- [42:33]
Donald Trump
I think that it's in a form. It's already running in a very strong form. It's already. But it'll get stronger and stronger and more and more countries are coming into it. They're already in, but they'll send, they'll send any number of troops that I ask them to send. They want to see peace. We have more than 59 countries. We have many countries that aren't even in the Middle east, but they're fairly close to the Middle East. They're. They want to be involved. So it's been pretty amazing.
- [43:00]
Benny Johnson
Mr. President, this week a man named Keone Rodriguez is going to federal prison for creating crypto privacy software. The case was started under the Biden administration, but your doj, DOJ kept it going and secured the conviction. A lot of people in crypto are saying that this man should be pardoned. Are you familiar with the case at all or would you be interested.
- [43:20]
Donald Trump
I've heard about it. I'll look at it. Why you think he should be pardoned? Sounds like. It sounds like. Based on your question, many people. Rodriguez. We'll look at that, Pam. Okay, let's take a look at it. You know, you'll have to tell me. I don't know anything about it, but we'll take a look on Friday. Yeah, please. Mr. President, market analysts are calling for a Santa rally. Typically it's five trading days going into Christmas. The first two trading days in January. That's a sign of market optimism. Do you anticipate, along with the historical low gas prices, that continuing in the first quarter? Well, we've had the greatest stock market in history, Brian. We have a stock market that's gone up 52 times to new highs during a 10 month period. My 10 months, my first 10 months, we set a record 52 days. We had the highest stock market in history, including a day ago, and I didn't look today. Maybe it's up today, I don't know. But we had 52 altogether and there's never been anything like it. And the reason are the tariffs have brought vast amounts of wealth into our country. That countries that have taken our car companies, those car companies are all coming back. The AI is coming at levels that nobody has ever seen before. That's going to be a massive industry. Without the tariffs, we wouldn't have that. Chips are coming in. Chip companies are coming in from Taiwan and other places, but mostly from Taiwan, which has almost 100% of the market. And we're now making chips and we're not paying anything. It's not the Chips act where they give billions of dollars to companies and then they just take the money and they run. That was under Biden. The fact that I set tariffs up and that if they don't make their chips here, they have to pay a big tariff in order to send them into the US they have to be here. You know, tariffs really work, in my opinion, almost only in the United States. They've been used against us successfully because we had presidents that had no clue. But tariffs really work. We have taken in hundreds of billions of dollars with tariffs. And more importantly, we've taken in countries and companies where. And even countries have sent their car making people into the United States in order to avoid paying tariffs. And they'll build a plant and they'll hire our people to make the cars. But we now have, as you know, Toyota just approved $10 billion in manufacturing plants in the United States using our people. Without tariffs, none of that would have happened. Tariffs have given us great national security. There is nothing like what's happened in the last 10 months. Tariffs have given us tremendous national security and tremendous wealth. Thank you all very much. Thank you.
- [46:21]
Benny Johnson
All right, ladies, That was abrupt. A little abrupt climb. Give it a second. Give it a second, please. For heaven's sake. Yeah. Okay, a wrap up of President Trump and then we do actually have breaking news. A Klein hitting the. Hitting the nicotine pouches a little hard there. Well, President Trump out off the dome saying that he plans on potentially launching land strikes in Venezuela. Not sure anybody asked for that. Says that the shooting at Brown University looks like terrorism and looks like it may well be targeted. Not backing down on how badly he dislikes Rob Reiner. Not gonna get into that.
- [47:21]
Tom Homan
Who.
- [47:22]
Benny Johnson
Who, like, honestly, who cares? Seriously, don't get. Don't get psyoped into that. Um, and then Donald Trump talking about declass reclassifying marijuana, something I'm 100% against, but we don't have enough time to talk about it right now. Donald Trump just saying it could be used for research. Hopefully smarter heads prevail. You don't want a nation of potheads. You want a nation that still has moral standards, especially around marijuana. Pot culture is the Worst culture. Go travel to places with pot culture. It's awful. Not good for the soul, not good for the brain, not good for the body. And then Donald Trump having Tom Homan and Pete Hegseth speak, giving awards to members of the military who defended the southern border. Tom Homan saying he didn't see one criminal alien traveling hundreds of miles around the border. So all very, very good and interesting things. We haven't taken, we haven't, we haven't done live reaction to President Trump taking questions in a while. So why not? We are rounding out the end of the year here. And we do now Klein. We do now. I love Klein. Klein's out of the. Klein's. Klein's a little under the weather and out of the studio today. So typically our timing is a little better when Klein's in the studio. So here we go, ladies and gentlemen, massive breaking news that broke that does have to do with Donald Trump, but didn't get covered in the presser right there. Let's go. Okay. This is gonna be very, very interesting, ladies and gentlemen. Dan Bongino allegedly planning on leaving the FBI within weeks, potentially. According to sources, Dan Bongino is the deputy director of the FBI. That makes him one of the key leaders in the organization. Many people who've worked for the FBI have told us that the deputy director position is the most powerful position at the FBI. It's the one that actually gets things done. Now, whatever you think of Dan Bongino, his visibility on major issues at the FBI, everything from the pipe bomber to Charlie Kirk's assassination has been a force during press conferences on television. Dan Bongino obviously had one of the most successful podcasts in the world, the Dan Bongino show, and was doing record numbers of live stream concurrent viewers on Rumble right before he decided to join the administration at President Trump's urging. The most recent commentary that Bongino had on social media was about the crime statistics. We'll get into all of that here. Let's read the article. Dan Bongino out at the FBI. FBI Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino will make a decision about his future with the bureau within the next few weeks, sources familiar with his considerations tell Fox News. The sources deny recent reports that Bongino's office at the FBI is empty, but they say his departure is a possibility in the near future. A source familiar with the situation told Fox News Digital that Bongino has not made any decisions about his future at the agency. Bongino's tenure at the FBI has come under fire in recent weeks alongside FBI Director Cash Patel. Earlier in the month, a report from an alliance of active duty and retired FBI personnel portrayed the bureau as directionless and rudderless under its new leadership. Bongino and Patel pushed back on the report, however, defending sweeping reforms as they have delivered major gains and accountability and public safety. When the director and I moved forward with these reforms, we expected some noise from a small circle of disgruntled former agents and still loyal to the old Comey Ray model, bongino told Fox News at the time. It was never our audience, our responsibilities, the American people. And under new leadership team, the Bureau is delivering results the country hasn't seen in decades. Tighter accountability, tougher performance standards, billions saved and mission first culture. That's how you restore trust. New York Post columnist and new Fox News contributor Miranda Devine said last week in an internal 115 page memo that FBI, active duty and retired agents and analysts heavily criticized Patel and Bongino since they took their respective jobs. I didn't give any real credence to this report. Of course the deep state is going to deep state. Of course they're going to criticize these guys. As you well know, Cash Patel has been on this program before. So has Dan Bongino. I've been on Dan Bongino's show. I consider Dan Bongino a friend and this is going to be totally up to him. I haven't reached out to him about this because this is breaking news as of this hour. Bonino hit back at the report saying that Divine loves attacking our reform agenda with gossipy anecdotes from disgruntled former employees. In this. You know, I read through the FBI report that Miranda Devine cites here. A damning report labels FBI rudderless ship under Cash Patel, Dan Bongino more concerned with building personal resumes. I read through it. You can see it. Yeah, it's listed right here. None of like none of this. Can be referenced directly to agents that are currently at the FBI. This is something that was a real problem for me. So all of this is just completely anonymous. So we're just gonna believe like garbage that was written by just anyone who knows who wrote it? Nobody knows. It is totally gossipy. It is very like bitchy and anecdotal and I don't see like a huge problem with this report. I don't see this as damning or career ending because it is just a bunch of former agents, presumably James Comey's best friends that are all sitting there in early retirement, most likely been fired by Bongino and Patel and are they got sour grapes? This is exactly, I mean that, that's the way, that's the way that I take this. So I really, really hope that this is not Dan Bongino's undoing at the FBI. Dan Bongino has done, I think, quite well. Protected the homeland and crush violent crime. This is Dan Bogino's last tweet. These words are not slogans. They are investigative pillars of the FBI. As stated Director Patel, over the weekend the FBI disrupted a credible imminent terrorist threat and arrested four individuals in connection with the Los Angeles area. If you read the reports on this, this is legit. Big time arrests. There was a left wing terrorist group that was building pipe bombs and were detonating them out in the desert and they were going to plan on blowing up a bunch of businesses and presumably harming a bunch of people in the California, Southern California area. And the FBI foiled that plot. This happened from today. That's just good work. This is one that I thought though when I read this tweet, I thought maybe Bongino is actually moving out. When I read this post, I thought this seems introspective for Bongino. Seems like something that, like Bongino is, you know, giving sort of careful consideration and looking back on his time at the FBI. This is from his personal account that has 7 million followers and he posted this just a week ago. Watching the endless series of media fairy tales about the administration's public safety and national security successes from the inside has been a revelatory experience. Despite historically strong border drug runners in a state of red line panic, a historic low murder rate, record breaking arrests and seizures statistics, our military being rebuilt, fortified peace deals being signed all over the world, the lemmings in the media continue to repeat their same mantras, insisting that we should believe three plus three equals nine. It's really illuminating to watch from this position. If any other president more ideologically aligned with the sheep in the middle did what President Trump has done, our public safety and national security, there would be nonstop celebration, nightly news stories, documentaries. They'd be prepping a rock on Mount Rushmore. So Dano there defending obviously his record and talking about like the revelatory experience to see it all from the inside. I mean, for me that just struck me as being very personal and almost like he's looking back on the work as always, maybe ready to shift out of that work. Andrew Bailey, friend of the show, would most likely take his position were Dan Bongino to shift out of the Deputy director role. This is now breaking across my timeline. No official announcement yet, but half a dozen sources at the FBI and DOJ indicated that Bongino's Washington D.C. office is empty. His Chief of staff has taken a new leadership role in Baltimore. FBI insiders expect his departure in January 2026, potentially with CO Direct CO Deputy Director Andrew Bailey assuming full duties. There you go. According to Fox News, Bongino is going to decide his future. Should he stay or go. One of the other people who were attacking Bongino, or at the very least the leadership of the FBI, was Tucker Carlson as of late. Here's Tucker Carlson from the Ovon's podcast last week. And also her claim that, you know, there were kind of a disproportionately large.
- [57:30]
Donald Trump
Number of foreign registered cell phones at the event.
- [57:33]
Benny Johnson
That's also true.
- [57:34]
Donald Trump
So what does that add up to?
- [57:36]
Benny Johnson
I don't know. But it, it means that, you know.
- [57:40]
Donald Trump
The FBI has a moral and legal.
- [57:42]
Benny Johnson
Obligation to, to look in every direction.
- [57:45]
Donald Trump
And to be open minded as you.
- [57:47]
Benny Johnson
Would in any investigation. In journalism, in science, it's all the same process. I don't know the answer. And I'm going to sift through everything as open mindedly as I can, as honestly as I can to get to what the truth is. That's again, that's science, that's law enforcement, that's journalism. It's all the same. That's justice. And I just want to make sure that is happening.
- [58:08]
Donald Trump
And I just don't have a ton of confidence in the FBI or the.
- [58:12]
Benny Johnson
Men who run it. And I'm not saying that out of ignorance at all. That's a scary part too. I'm not alleging anything. I'm just saying I think it's really important that we have that.
- [58:22]
Tom Homan
Yeah.
- [58:22]
Benny Johnson
And also, I mean, I never wanted to Twitter. Like leaders of the FBI are on Twitter, like what? So Tucker Carlson going after his friend Dan Bongino there, or at least the way that Bongino has been running the FBI in a different era, it was Dan Bongino on Tucker Carlson's show live in front of thousands of people saying this, do you want this Dan Bongino back?
- [58:49]
Donald Trump
You go do it. And then you, you start your own company and then you get your own own advertisers. That's how you do it. You pulled a Leo DiCaprio from Wolf of Wall Street. Just don't defraud anyone. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. You tell these liberals I will haunt you sons of for the rest of Your lives on this planet. YouTube decided to cancel me. YouTube sends me a letter in an email, we're canceling you. You said masks don't work. They said you got to pull this video down. So I got a better idea. I'm going to cancel you idiots and I'm going to go advocate for a platform. And then Rumble went suit him later for like screwing them up like this. Screw these people. Don't ever let them beat you down, ever, ever. Whatever they tell you not to do, you do times 10.
- [59:38]
Benny Johnson
What is the HR department in your.
- [59:40]
Donald Trump
Company say when you talk like this?
- [59:42]
Benny Johnson
All right, different timeline. The timeline's been broken, ladies and gentlemen. Last time I had my producers pull, the last time Dan Bongino was on Fox News, it was obviously talking about the pipe bomber, saying that this is the biggest FBI cover up in American history.
- [59:58]
Donald Trump
His prior leadership team was doing outside of, you know, targeting political opponents, weaponizing the FBI, destroying its reputation, embarrassing agents that are doing really good work out there, catching terrorists, CCP spies and everyone else. It's almost like they were intentionally trying to decimate faith and institutions. It's horrifying. I don't know what they were doing. I can tell you what happened though. When we got there, the director and I, my first meeting, my first meeting I swore in, and I kid you not, probably 15 minutes later and the people who are in the meeting know, I said, when I get in there, I want a full brief on this pipe bomber case on day one. And I looked at the case agent after getting a full brief on what they'd done and they had done some, a pretty extensive amount of work. They had chased down I think thousands of leads, 6,000 plus interviews had been conducted, hundreds of tips and it still was relatively stale, the case. And I grabbed the case agent on the way out and I said, you're going to get me this guy. You're going to track this guy down and you're going to find him. You're going to get me this guy. I want him. And that started what's been almost a nine month operation right now to make sure that we could get full accountability and transparency of the American public and find this guy. And today, today we did.
- [61:19]
Benny Johnson
So damagino, they're saying obviously that the Joe Biden FBI didn't want to find the pipe bomber. I think there's a lot of theories about why that is pretty self evident that all of it is a hoax. What I'm missing, there is some type of explanation as to why Brian Cole Jr. Was someone who went and did this like a loner autist who wasn't particularly political, going and planting these pipe bombs or not. Still doesn't seem like he's the guy that actually planted the bombs. He might have been the dude in the backpack. I mean, I guess that does make a lot of sense. There's a lot of evidence and he did admit to it, so there's that. But did he actually plant the bombs? I don't know. I want that explanation is why people still remain frustrated and probably will forever be frustrated with the FBI. And what kind of dam Bongino do you want? I got to tell you, I mean, this is something that was, you know, really great to do with Dan at the RNC convention is he's just such a talented broadcaster and I, you know, whenever he decides to step back into the arena, we'll be happy to have Dan back. His, his, his voice, I think is sorely missed right now. And he's just one of those guys that I've always really, really respected and his ability to sort of manifest and explain in simple terms what is actually going on and. Yeah, so that's my take on it, ladies and gentlemen. And let's go ahead and check the markets. Who will be the first to leave the Trump cabinet in 2025? Check the markets with Polymarket. Well, this is probably going to change based on today's news, but you can see here that Dan Bongino isn't even even on there. Right. Okay.
- [63:30]
Donald Trump
So.
- [63:31]
Benny Johnson
Oh, the Trump Cabinet. Okay, maybe alx see if there's a Dan Bongino market on here. I'm sure there is. So cabinet secretaries got it. So none, none is the Winning like at 95, 96% says none. Nobody is going to do it. Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth pulling in just a couple pennies here and there. Steven Moran, Chrissy Noem, Pete Hegseth. But pretty much everybody is below 1%. So the betting markets, the prediction markets are saying no one's going to leave the cabinet, that everyone's going to be sound and set, which is what I'd like, honestly. Okay, so on or before 2027. Let's look here. Ah, Dan Bongino. Now, who will leave Trump administration before 2027. Now Dan Bongino is up at 53%. Zeldin Hexad, cash Patel, what do you think about how these guys are doing at the FBI? Let me know in the comments. Obviously, we know that there is in a considerable amount of criticism, but you know what? That's Just what happens when you're in the, in the arena. That it, what do you, what do you think this is like? Do you think that society just gives you a free pass to find the J6 pipe bomber and to lock up a bunch of narco terrorists and to fire all of the kneelers? The FBI kneelers. This is a great one. The FBI kneelers. There they are. There you go. I mean they fired all them. I, I know, I know. These are FBI agents, Female FBI agents getting down on their knees in order to pledge fealty to a terrorist organization that was occupying Washington D.C. bLM. This was your FBI. So just doing that alone. And some of them obviously couldn't get down on their knees. And then you have this guy, Classic federal bureaucrat slob. Listen, that's good. There's been major changes in culture at the FBI. It's been good. It hasn't all been good. Dan Bongino threatened to quit during the Epstein saga. Famously Dan Bonjourno understood what time it was. Oh, I never noticed this. That her kneeling actually cracked the cement. Goodness. Woof. Buzz, girlfriend. But here we go. They fired him. And that's something to celebrate. Let me know, ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about Gino Patel and the job they have done at the FBI? Okay. More news, ladies and gentlemen on Rob Reiner. It's horrifying. It's really bad. I don't know, man. We talk a lot about spiritual problems that this nation is having and there are huge spiritual problems in our midst. There is evil in our midst. Here is the update on Hollywood Legend just is what he is. Obviously he was a far left wing radical agitator. Somebody who was, we don't and didn't disagree with, correction, agree with anything that he said. But that doesn't mean that he had to die his throat being slit by his own kid. What the hell's going on with Rob Reiner and his wife who were killed after an argument with their son. Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner's son Nick is in custody after being booked for felony murder after the director and his wife were found with found knifed to death in their home. The couple had their throats slit after a heated argument with a relative understood to be Nick, his son turned deadly into their in their $13 million Los Angeles mansion. Detectives have been questioning their 32 year old son who was arrested on Sunday night before being booked for felony murder. He's being held on $4 million bail bond. They should have no bond, obviously. Los Angeles sheriff's records show. Reiner made many of the best known movies of the 80s and 90s. Princess Bride, very much a classic. The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed it was called the couple's Brentwood home at 3.30pm on Sunday as a man found 78 and 68 dead on the property. Their daughter Rami, who lives just across the street, is said to have made the grim discovery when she visited the sprawling six bedroom estate yesterday afternoon. The 28 year old, who is Reiner's youngest child, told police that a family member should be a suspect because they are dangerous. Nick had previously spoken out about his struggles with drug addiction in which he saw him first attend rehab around his 15th birthday. Oh goodness. And experienced periods of homelessness in 2016 when he was 22. He's said to have gone to rehab 17 times, adding that he had been left homeless and refusing to get help on multiple occasions. Oh no. Terrible. And you got a kid that's a drug addict. Parents, it's going to be hard, but you got to cut them loose. Drug addicts are different. There's something because of pop culture and because of Hollywood culture and because of the permissibility and the lack of any type of judgment in our modern era, erosion of common sense. The drug user, the homeless person has been put up on a pedestal as some type of victim. When in reality, if you know any drug users, habitual drug users that refuse to get clean, they are some of the most vindictive, selfish, demonic, poisonous forces that you can possibly have in your life. These are individuals who are truly what if you could delay your next two mortgage payments? That's right. Imagine putting those two payments in your pocket and finally getting a little breathing room ahead of the holidays. It's possible when you call American Financing today, if you're feeling stretched by everyday expenses, groceries, gas, bills piling up, you're not alone.

American Financing 888-528-1219 that's 888-528-1219American Financing.net Benny Dangerous and often desperate. And you gotta like, be smart. It looks like the Reiner family welcomed this junkie kid of theirs into their home. Something went terribly wrong and then he went berserk and killed his dad and mom. Slit their throats with a knife while they were sleeping, I guess. I don't know. It's really bad, terrible. But also there's a lot of hatred right now. I mean, it says this in the scriptures that you'll see brother turn against brother, son turning his father, daughter turn against mother, and so on and so forth. You're seeing a lot of this like kids are turning against their moms and dads and really despicable and in really violent, horrible ways. So yeah, I'm praying for the Reiner family and I am sickened to see this goodness. The Reiner family has confirmed the death of the director and his wife. Saying this is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michelle and Rob Reiner. And his son is now in custody. And is facing charges of first degree felony murder. So, okay, it's going to be like an OJ situation. I don't know what else to say about it, man. It's horribly, horribly sad, dark. So be smart. Don't let your kids. And I guess the major, what's the major takeaway moral here, and this is not me like throwing stones at a dead man. You know, it's Rob Reiner. It's awful. But takeaway here is obviously that you got to be really sharp with who's raising your kids. The most effed up kids are the ones from the most successful people. Why is that? Because they're so obsessed with their careers and they don't realize that the careers, it's going to come and go.

Rob Reiner doesn't get a lot of directors gigs anymore or got virtually zero. Became a full time activist. But your kids will be there forever. Your kids are a part of you. They're your flesh, your blood. You'll always have a very soft spot for him. And when your degenerate junky kid comes banging down the door, says he's homeless, you're going to welcome him in, get into a fight. You got to make sure that you're raising your children to be godly, to be centered, to not be addicted to all the poisons in society and to be upstanding and to not allow some of the worst elements of society to infect your children. There's a reason why all these kids in the Hollywood Hills go off like this. They're all like on, they're all junkies and they're all homeless and they're all addicted to drugs. Get your kids the hell out of that culture. I did that with my family. I would have my, my family, we moved down to Florida for this exact reason. All right, too bad.

We'Ve covered the FBI thwarting the anti ice attack. Man, that's, that's terrifying. And why don't we just touch on really quickly here because I think a lot of it is speculation. But the terrible news out of Brown University. There was a deadly killing at Brown University. Two individuals killed sophomore Ella Cook IDed as the first victim. Ella Cook is a Republican. She is a Republican leader on campus. She is a Christian. She is a crusader for Christ. Brown University is the most left wing ideologically institution arguably in America. They're famously left wing. Just point zero eight percent of the student population at Brown which is like ten thousand identifies as conservative. So the fact that a gunman goes in and is able to randomly just kill the leader of the conservatives on the campus. No man, this smells exactly like a political assassination to me. Oh, and there are a bunch of other people in library and the. Ella Cook is the only One who got killed along with some of the somebody else in the exact vicinity. There's no footage. They refuse to give us any of the videos, any of the photos. There's no footage of this happening at all. They've got nothing. They arrested one person. Now they've sprung him from prison and said this ain't it. Got an alibi. We got the wrong suspect. She just walked onto Brown University, an Ivy League institution, and kill someone in cold blood and then just walk away with nothing happening. That's totally evil. She was the vice president of Brown University Republican Club. She again is somebody who was very well connected with her church, with her parish. She was a tremendous leader. Everybody who knew her loved her. An absolute tragedy. Nine others were injured in the shooting. She was one of two students gunned down during a finals review session at Brown University. And why exactly is Brown University not releasing all of the available evidence footage, photos and videos? It's enough to make your blood boil. It seems to me that they are trying to protect a narrative here and that you don't want to round out the year with another left wing political assassination.

Overtly enraging and humiliating that law enforcement doesn't have. More leads on this and we'll cover more in the morning show, ladies and gentlemen. All right, I'm going to let my voice rest. We've obviously been traveling all day and we want to make sure we have strong week. We got some exciting things lined up this week. Also obviously America Fest going to be giving a speech Mar a Lago tomorrow with General Flynn and Mike Tyson. Great. And want to finish the year out strong. Ladies and gentlemen, you should finish the year out strong. American financing can help you ensure that your high interest credit card debt is consolidated into something that is more in line with the federal funds rate. High interest credit card debt obviously is a killer. It's a financial killer. It is true. Modern day slavery, it's usury and it should be illegal. But nonetheless, the highest rates ever of Americans find themselves trapped by this modern day slavery. And I want you to get out of slavery is the Christmas reality says.

The odds are stacked against us. To think our U.S. men's National Team can ever raise the world's biggest tribe trophy, be the first soccer team to beat them at football. Never. But here's the thing about us refusing to accept reality. It's kind of our thing being unrealistic. That's not a flaw. It's a force. It's fuel.

American financing.net Benny all right, ladies and gentlemen, I think we have covered everything and we already talked about how Erica Kirk is meeting with Candace Owens right now. But we have no nothing to report on that. So perhaps tomorrow morning we will have more to report on that. But for now, I have a verse of the day or you comes from Luke 2, 13, 14. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly hosts praising God and saying, glory to God in the highest. And on earth, peace, goodwill toward men. Ah, things seem to be going wildly dark right now. There's been four or five terrorist attacks or foiled terrorist attacks in just the last 48 hours. If you're looking at Australia, if you're looking here in the States, dark times that we are living in. You need to stay locked in. Stay locked in. Read your Bible. Remember what Christmas is all about. Remember to keep the Christ in Christmas. And that the birth of Christ is about renewal. Christ's entire life was about rewriting a New Testament, a new promise to the people from God to believers, to all of creation from God. And it is something that should give you great hope and uplifting tidings of great joy, peace on earth. That God has sent his one and only son. For whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Stay locked in with that and stay locked in with us and our channel. We thank you for joining us for this late live today and are ready to hit it again in the morning. So going to be a, going to be a wild week. And get locked in. It's your boy Benny. I'm always proud to march with you onto victory that is assured. See ya.
