Trump Announces HALT To War! Iran’s Reaction is… 🔥

I'm getting out of here before any more missiles fall on my head.

Good morning. Welcome back. Happy Monday morning. And I hope that you had a glorious weekend.

I spent a weekend with my father. Call your dads. You still got a dad. Call them. You

know, go hang out with them. That's all I did with my dad. My dad is a big fan of collegiate wrestling.

So we went to the NCAA championships, collegiate wrestling and hung out in Cleveland. Is that

the place that you want to hang out for the weekend? Probably not. I don't know. No, hey, it was a great,

it was a, we had a fun time. But that's what I did. Like just make sure that you like lock off a

little bit of time for the man that tried his hardest, right? Like that just, it was his first time

being a dad too, right? So he's just trying hard. Make sure that you lock it in and make sure

that you are locked in today for some glorious and good news. Monday, March 23rd, 2026. Trump

halts all bombing of Iran and their critical infrastructure. Well, there's no more infrastructure,

right? It's all critical. So I guess that's good. This is effectively a ceasefire in the war.

The president Trump has announced this morning. I ran saying, huh?

Like that's what that was Iran's response. They are freaking out saying, no, it's not happening.

But actually it is happening. We have some great sources that tell us exactly how it's happening.

Iran's just trying to level up, right? And do be the big, but you can't be the big when you've

got no air force, no air defenses, no army, no navy. When you got no bullets, when you got no

drones, you got no bullets, you got no missiles, you got nothing left. What are you going to do?

You're in no position to negotiate here. You don't have the cards, as they would say. So

we'll see what happens. But I really like the direction that this is going. Obviously,

you need to refocus on domestic policy. It drove in this morning, looking at the gas science,

yo, very close to $4 a gallon where I live. What about where you live? How expensive is it

where you live? Obviously, we had gas below $2 a gallon. Remember that? The $2 gallon gas season

is the fall and gas was plummeting. Let's see if President Trump can lock it in. Gas is actually

cratering right now. It's at like $84 a barrel. That's good. It was like in the $60 barrel range.

That's when you get your $2 gas. That's golden, ladies and gentlemen, for the golden era.

Ice deployed to airports. And we are going to be deploying to airports later today.

Representative Andy Ogles and Steve Hilton. Next governor, California will be joining the show.

My name is Benny Johnson. And this is the Benny show, Ms and in Maine. Oh, stay fit. Stay sharp.

Stay looking good. Ms and in Maine is how I travel on the road. I travel this week. We're going

to be traveling this week. Steep hack. We're going to do some work. Maybe we're going to go to Cuba.

I don't know. I asked my wife. Yeah, I just go to Cuba. You just go to Cuba for the day. I'm

so sick of these left-wing influencers. Anyway, the point is that we do end up traveling a lot

on this program. And well, Ms and in Maine is the clothes that we travel in. This is a fact.

And this is by the way before they were partners of the show. Why? Well, because like one, they don't

wrinkle. Super lightweight. You still look good. You're not dressing like a slob. You're not

wandering around in your pajamas in the airport. Oh, man, they're shirts. They're pants.

Now you want a sharp look. You want something that's clean and fast and that never wrinkles.

Ladies and gentlemen, make sure that you are grabbing up some of their stretchy lightweight,

moisture-wicking, wrinkle-resistant, completely machine-washable. No ironing or dry cleaning,

shirts and pants. Their fabric is so effortless, so light. It makes you look sharp. Again,

and wearing them for a while. Right now, Ms and in Maine is offering their listener 20% off,

first purchase at miznamein.com promo code Benny20. That's mizn spelled M-I-Z-E-N main M-A-I-N.

.com from a code Benny20. Or you can check out Ms and in Maine store. There's one in Tampa.

Pretty cool. All right, ladies and gentlemen, speaking of in Tampa, there's Chick-fil-A in Tampa. I'm

going to go pick up just a boatload of Chick-fil-A and take it to the TSA today. That's what we're

going to do when we didn't mean it to rhyme like that. Clients sitting here like shaking his head,

like this guy has got the dad jokes. But we're doing it. We're doing it. TSA,

there's a giant Chick-fil-A at the airport. I got pissed off this weekend. Elon Musk offered

to pay the salaries of all the Chick-fil-A employees. I'm sorry. All the TSA employees this week.

Elon Musk could do both. Elon Musk said, hey, how about I just pay the salary for these out of work?

Guys, you shouldn't be allowed to defund our critical infrastructure in this country for political

purposes. That's Republican too. It's totally evil. It's backfiring on the Democrats. The TSA

lines are obscene and obnoxious. I spoke with TSA agents this weekend while I was traveling. Again,

we just did a really quick trip with my dear old dad. My dear old dad's getting up there,

enjoy your time with your parents. I informed them that Elon Musk was going to pay

for their salaries and this is a response. Guys, we're going through TSA right now and I just

told my man that Elon is covering the salaries. They appreciate you. For the TSA workers who've

been defunded. They say thank you. There's a bunch of cheers. Everyone's here. I informed

everyone behind us. The man. A true patriot. I'm telling you, I just yelled it as we were going

through. They had my cameras. I couldn't film it. But I yelled it as they were going through.

That Elon is covering salaries of all of the TSA workers and everyone's here.

Yo, this is like what patriots do. These are law enforcement agents. TSA, you ever

like gone through TSA and like talk to them these guys? You know, these guys are like these guys

are a bunch of veterans. They're a bunch of retired cops. They're a bunch of people who serve

their country to a man. A lot of these TSA agents. They come up. They talk to me all the time when

I'm going through the airport. These are great people and I'm a supporter of law enforcement.

We probably the one of the most evil vicious lies ever told by the corporate press was that

somehow like the right doesn't support federal law enforcement. In fact, we're the only ones

who support federal law enforcement. The only ones who support law enforcement at all. The entire

system collapses under the left. The left is of course allowing for the attacking and the harassment

of ICE agents and TSA agents and all federal law enforcement as long as it serves their political

power. And so we're going to support them today. And it ain't going to be, you know, it ain't much.

It's just a fried chicken sandwich and some salty, salty, waffle fries.

Hide out degrees, but it's going to be a free lunch for them. So that's what we're going to do.

And they can just roll through and pick it up. And so, you know, I don't have enough money to

pay for all our salaries. Well, the richest man in the world do that. You know, we're focused on

covering the salaries that we have here at the show and then also some lunches for a defunded

law enforcement. This is blowing back on Democrats. Donald Trump dropped a bunch of ICE agents,

sprinkled a bunch of ICE agents into the TSA checkpoints. Now, in front of them, they'll be doing

full ID checks. And then also arresting and potentially deporting people at the TSA checkpoints

you see here. Thank you, Klein. Perfect. Look at that. You see the ICE agents that have been

deployed, forward deployed at the Atlanta airport. What does TSA like around you? Have you flown?

Have you seen major delays? We certainly saw some delays. Look at that. This is out the door

through the terminal down the street into the parking garage and then out the back of the parking

garage. This is Atlanta Hartfield Jackson Airport at 5.02 a.m. You know what they said?

They said to arrive four hours early for the Atlanta airport. Now, maybe your airport's a little

different. They said to arrive four hours early. I didn't have to wait in line for hours. We waited

in line, you know, approximately 10, 20 minutes for TSA where I was, you know, traveling this weekend.

But Atlanta's got this massive airport. They got tons of people. They got so many people

out fly through Atlanta. It's like one of the biggest hubs in the world. And so their TSA is like

stretched to the absolute, absolute breaking point and limit. And so it's totally evil. Again,

it should be illegal to defund critical infrastructure. They've also defunded the Coast Guard

while we're technically at war, a war that I hope ends. Why do I hope that I ran war ends?

Okay, let's pivot over to here. Why do I hope that I ran war ends? And by the way, good

gracious. We'll look at this. I've got a super chat. I'll put by a few sandwiches on me. Well,

thank you, grimly. I know who God bless you, man. Thank you. We will. I mean, we will. We'll

be posting up the whole time, you know, about it. I actually got, I got a delivery right now.

Client, we might get it in the middle of the live show. So I got a bunch of patriotic balloons

coming to the office. We're going to put up a bunch of balloons, you know, and be like, hey,

yo, come get your Chick-fil-A. So thank you very much, grimly. Yeah, grimly Anaku. Thank you.

This is what we're going to do, man. We're going to like use what God has given us to help

in the way that God has called us to. Today, give away Chick-fil-A. Why do I want the ward end?

I want the ward end. Of course you want the ward end. Of course you want the ward end.

You know, again, we've litigated, you know, the last couple of weeks that I wasn't elected president,

okay? And I don't like forever war. Looks like this ain't going to be a forever war. We'll get

into what Trump said just a second ago, but there's no way Trump's going to let this be in a forever

war. Just listen to the words he's saying. Trump's wrapping the sucker up. Sounded like they had a

generation based on all my phone calls with everybody at DOD and everybody inside of the admin

and State Department and all that. And we know so many people and we're like blessed to have it,

like every single week you have members of the administration on this show all the time.

Like, you know, based on my phone calls, they had a generational opportunity to straight up murder

these people and they took it. And that's just what it is. It was gangster. It was gangster operation.

You know, it was like a stealth operation, kind of like with Maduro. You have like just this

this opportunity and these one got to take it. And Trump does it. He bases these decisions on his

gut. And why do I want it to wrap up? Because these have perilous,

determining downstream effects on what actually matters to people when they vote in elections.

The reason why Trump is in office in a landslide is vastly due to the inflation numbers,

the out of control spending numbers, the out of control war spending numbers, everybody saw

billions of dollars going to Ukraine, hundreds of billions of dollars going to Ukraine. And everyone

said enough of that. It's America last. So we don't want that. We don't want that to be our thing.

We want our thing to be low gas prices, low interest rates, people getting homes,

people getting mortgages, when people to buy cars, when people to be able to go on a vacation

every once in a while. When people to be able to afford Chick-fil-A, I'm going to go bankrupt,

Chick-fil-A is expensive these days. So that's what it like, that those are the policies that

went us in 26 and 28. I think it can be done. They're just going to have to reverse it and reverse

it quick. Now it's a beautiful thing. What happened, like instantly, as soon as Trump announced,

yo, we ain't going to war anymore. Here we go. If we could pop up my screen. We pop up my screen.

Thank you. Here we go. Trump holds all strikes on Iranian energy sites. Very good conversations.

Denies talks with Washington. Now there's a big fact check here. So the markets have gone all

haywire. Not insane. You can see here. Look at what oil did. Look at that. That's awesome.

I mean, by the way, it's amazing. So oil is cratered, actually. It's gone back. I don't know.

Can we get like the live ticker for the for oil crude price? So I think crude, it's gone back

like $84 a barrel. That's great. It should collapse down to like the 60s or 50s. When you start

getting a sucker flowing, apparently the straight, like straight, so hormones have opened up.

Iran is like blood is talking bluster right now. They just talk, they just talk and smack.

So here's what Trump said versus what Iran said. Here we go. I'm pleased to report the United States

of America and country of Iran have had over the last couple of days. Very good productive

conversations regarding the complete resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.

Based on the tenor and tone of these detailed constructive conversations,

which will continue. I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military

strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. Well, this is a good thing for Iran.

Iran has no air defenses. They have no navy. They have nothing. They can put some mines in

the strait of hormones. They can do some suicide. They can do some suicide squads stuff.

But it's really, really bad. Look at that. There's a crude. You just send me that link.

And it's really bad, honestly. If you're Iran, you're just sitting duck.

You got nothing left. America, Israel and the Allied forces can just bomb you into submission.

They can take everything from you. They can just put you right back in the Stone Age.

Is it going to do regime change? Well, what is the regime exactly?

Some guy in a coma, some gay mola in a coma, who doesn't even know where he is,

sitting there like, you don't have any legs or arms.

I think that's what they're left with. So nobody's even seen the new guy

pieced through strength to put it mildly. It says Donald Trump. Donald Trump on Friday,

saying we're going to be very, very close to meeting our objectives and winding down our great

military efforts in the Middle East. This shows like kind of where the president's head is.

But let me just tell you, and I checked, this was written by President Trump himself.

Okay. This one came from Donald himself. He wrote that sucker.

It's a good thing because you're going to have to, yeah, you can see the effects, obviously,

of what's going to happen with gas prices. I don't know if I just popped that up.

You can see the effect of what's going to happen with gas prices.

Boom. Come on. Bring it back down.

Nobody likes the high gas prices, right? Well, plenty of people are willing to pay,

you know, and people have their different takes on the war. I don't think it's worth setting

myself on fire for, as I said. And as I've said a million times over, I wasn't elected president.

And nobody asked me, hey, should I go to Iran?

Come on, Iran. Nobody asked me. Okay. So you can like, you can disagree with it. I don't,

I don't like the, I don't like the, I don't like the downstream policies of it. I want to win.

I want to win. So, but I'm not going to burn my MAGA hat on a three-time Trump voter.

And I'm not going to like betray the base. And the base is with Trump.

And we'll see if he can just wrap this sucker up. Okay. Back to me. Thank you.

The White House now signaling for a ceasefire effectively. President Trump calls for pause

on all military strikes, right? So the White House is hyping it. The Department of State is hyping it.

They're all hyping it. And Iran is going, I ran and says, ah,

there's been no direct contact with President Trump. President Trump is trying to buy time by time.

For what, dude? You're like a sitting duck. You're sitting duck. You ever seen the USC fight where like

the guy gets knocked out and you just kind of like lay in there with his eyes all glazed over.

That's Iran right now. You don't got it. You think you can't stand. You'd like, you don't

got anything left. You have nothing left. President withdrew from power plant strike after Iran's

firm warning. Yes. Okay. You're very scary. Yes. You're really scared of us. This, I love. This,

I think, is hilarious. So the leaders of Iran are whining that Trump is engaging in psychological

warfare. Oh, it's a great. They're crying. There's the hormones will not return to

pre-war conditions as long as psychological warfare continues.

Megan Rapinoe, Ellen generous and Rosie O'Donnell are now the leaders of Iran. These are the leaders

of Iran are now muleing about Trump engaging in psychological warfare. Well, it turns out that

they're lying. Turned out they're lying. Okay. So we went and hunted this down. And so here's

what's actually going on. Iran screamed and said, no, we're not talking with America. Liars, they are.

They are. What's happening is that Iran is like desperate to end this thing, to not like go directly

back to the stone age and to try and look strong while doing it. It's going to be a really hard

task to look strong after the beating that they took. But there's a beating that Trump's going to

take politically and domestically if you have five, six dollar gasoline prices and the midterms.

That's just a matter of fact. And if inflation shoots up and if the government keeps spending and

if you don't have the mortgage rates go down from like they're so stubbornly stuck at six percent.

You got to wrap this thing up. So you had your fun like you got to close it down. Well, it turns

out that's what's going on. U.S. source told said that Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan, they've all been

working on peace with U.S. in Iran over the last couple days. Foreign ministers, three countries

held separate talks with the White House, Steve Whitkopf and Iranian foreign minister Abbas Agarachi,

U.S. source said, full send golf. You guys know how much I really, really love golf and I think every

week would be dope to post on the golf channel. I want to get a lot of guests on here.

So Liam's going to take leave. I'm down to be in it. It's not really work to play golf.

Join the party on the golf course. I was like, let's go to the range. So what are we putting on it?

We said 10k, right? 10k. All right. We probably bet more than all the other golf channels. 10k,

nine holes. Those guys bet for like cookies. So I'm going to shank it. This guy's been trading

like a Navy SEAL when it comes to golf. I'm very, very excited. Yeah. Full send golf. Follow and

listen on your favorite platform. So Steve Whitkopf's directly talking with the Iranians. The

mediation is ongoing and making progress. The discussions are about ending the war and resolving

all outstanding issues and we hope to have an answer soon. The source said familiar. So they're

going to do some big announcement. Trump's probably going to open a Trump tower to Ron. You know

what's going to happen? TTT. They're going to do the Trump tower to Ron. But by the end of it,

you know that's what's going on. Egyptian foreign minister said on Sunday on a call with Whitkopf

that the Iranians and his counterparts from Pakistan stress the importance of containing

the broader effects of the conflict and preventing it from expanding. So you just don't want

like all out war in the Middle East. Smart, bro. Smart. Go for it.

And now things are responding. Things are responding appropriately. I mean, obviously the

East stock market spiked. Stock market went ballistic. Oil crashed. And Iran,

weezing intensifies Iran's foreign minister says there have been no talks with Washington.

Those are those are lies. So either Iran is lying or Trump is lying and it turns out that Iran

is actually lying. They are talking and they are desperate. It's great. You can win this.

You can win this. You got to get back to domestic policies. You got to get back to like being

the president of, hey, yo, we just killed. We killed a terrorist. We nobody likes Iran. The

same thing for Iran. Nobody is making some argument that the itola needs to remain in power or

is a good person. It's the thing I can't figure out with Joe Kent. The thing I can't get

is I'm just checking in on Ogles here. What are you thinking? What's your thinking, Klein? No.

Ah, everyone's having Wi-Fi issues. Okay, great. I got plenty to talk about. Okay.

We don't want to be late for our Chick-fil-A date with TSA. So what like what

thank you. Okay. Why is this a good thing? And how can you spin it into a massive

election victory? The way you end up totally on top and on like the on the other side of this issue

is when you start negotiating trade with China. Ultimately, China and Russia are the other

poles of power on this earth. It is a multi-polar power structure that we live in and it's not fun

to play by their rules. We've had to play by their rules in Ukraine. We've had to play by their

rules in the Pacific. America doesn't like that. And if you can leverage the destruction of

their power vectors around the world, choke out their energy supplies, prove that you have the

willpower to engage positively and aggressively with China and Russia. You can end the Ukraine war.

You can dictate terms for the next millennia to China. You can control a economic flow

throughout the world using the dollar and not some other alternative currency, which of course

was founded effectively by Iran. You just like this is a battle for the dollar and dollar supremacy,

supremacy, if anything, that's what this is. And then you can position yourself

or tripling the economy here in America. The only thing that really like freaking matters in

2028. And so cut it all down and give it to people plainly and explain the triangulation of

what's happening. This is the same thing that's happening with Cuba, Venezuela, South America,

everybody's well aware of what the strategy is. And it's also a critical strategy for the future

of the country. If you're thinking long term and not short term, it's very, very good to have

control over Iran, to have control over the straits and have control over the region and to be rid

of a bad actor in the region, the only destabilizing actor in the region quite frankly.

So, you could spin this into a win. You got to be able to deliver. It's something that like we

were promised in 26, that would be this like extreme focus on domestic policies. And we almost

had it, you know, you almost had it. You're going to get Jerome Powell out. You're going to get

Trump accounts, right? The administration is going hard in the paint for domestic policy victories.

These are the things that when you elections, these are the things you have to get back to.

The eve of like the first bombings of Iran, I went on Fox News, I warned about this.

And it's good fair warning. Here's President Trump seconds ago saying, yo, yo,

we're going to we're going to stop it all. This was Trump on the tarmac. Again, just moments ago.

Here we go. Mr. President, Iran's foreign ministry says you're not telling the truth when it comes

to productive conversations, Daniel. Well, they're going to have to get themselves better

public relations people. We have had very, very strong talks. We'll see where they lead.

We have points of major points of agreement. I would say almost all points of agreement.

Perhaps that hasn't been conveyed. The communication, as you know, has been blown to pieces.

They're unable to talk to each other. But we've had very strong talks. Mr. Wichgaaf and Mr.

Kushner had them. They went, I would say perfectly. I would say that if they carried through with

that, it'll end that problem, that conflict. And I think it'll end it very, very substantially.

We have very much in mind our partners in the Middle East. We've had great relationships with a

lot of them, as you know, a lot of them were surprisingly hit. And I was surprised to see it.

So was everyone else. But we have very much in mind in the discussions.

So the discussions took place yesterday. They went into yesterday evening.

They want very much to make a deal. We'd like to make a deal too. We're going to get together

today by probably phone because it's very hard to find a country. It's very hard for them to get

out, I guess. But we'll at some point very, very soon meet. We're doing a five day period. We'll

see how that goes. And if it goes well, we're going to end up with settling this. Otherwise,

we'll just keep bombing our little hearts out. A top person. Don't forget. We've wiped out

the leadership phase one, phase two, and largely phase three. But we're dealing with the man who I

believe is the most respected and the leader. You know, it's a little tough. They've wiped out

we wiped out everybody. No, not the supreme leader. We don't, well, nobody's ever, nobody heard

of the second supreme leader of the Sun. Nobody we have not heard from the Sun. Everyone said

well, you'll see a statement made, but we haven't. We don't know if he's living. But the people that

seem to be running it. And they seem that based on really fact because things they've said

have taken place. I don't want them to be killed. Okay, I don't want them to be killed.

Mr. President, you deployed nobody wants to be that nobody wants that job right now. You know,

nobody's exactly looking forward to being the head of that particular country. But perhaps

we'll be able to solve that problem. Mr. President, you deployed ICE agents to American air

units. Newsmax, sir. You deployed ICE agents. You're not doing a good job. You deployed ICE agents.

You're not doing a good job. Did you hear me? Okay, go ahead.

What exactly do you want from these talks? You believe it or taking CNN over Newsmax, you believe it?

I'm not really looking forward to these talks, Mr. President.

We're looking for all of the things that we've been talking about. We want to see

no nuclear bomb, no nuclear weapon, not even close to it. Low key in the missiles. We want to see

peace in the Middle East. We want the nuclear dust. We're going to want that. And I think we're

going to get that. We've agreed to that. Yeah, we're going to. We've agreed to that.

You want the enriched uranium before it ends?

We want no enrichment. But we also want the enriched uranium.

If this happens, it's a great start for Iran to build itself back.

And it's everything that we want. And it's also great for Israel and it's great for the other

Middle Eastern countries. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, all of them, Kuwait, and Bahrain in particular.

So it's great for all of them.

All right, you can hear it. You can hear the tone. Trump saying, hey, let's just wind it down.

Okay, let's wind it down. My screen real fast one more time.

Stocks are surging. Oil prices have plummeted 10%.

And now you can see that, well, you know, this is what you want to see.

If you can have your cake and you can eat it too, then this is what you want to do.

And as we've said many times over, I was elected president.

So when we ain't going to set ourselves on fire over this, I just want to win.

I just want to win. Democrats saw this exactly what they're going to do.

If they win, it is a civilizational question at this point.

Civilizational. Do we wish to continue as a people?

Or do we wish to destroy ourselves and Democrats, of course, we'll do the destroying.

If we let them back in right now, they're destroying.

And look what they're doing. Look what Democrats are doing right now.

Save Act, TSA. They're projecting exactly what's next.

Don't destroy yourselves, ladies and gentlemen.

Live strong, live free, live healthy, Mossa chips help the Johnson family.

As in gentlemen, I am really excited to announce that Steve Hilton is joining the program.

Uh, Steve Hilton. Uh, yeah, okay. Unfortunately, Andy Ogles, we had a bit of a connection issue

with our team. And the representative Andy Ogles will not be able to join the show today.

We apologize for that. We had some technical difficulties. So it goes.

Uh, Steve Hilton is locked and loaded. He has, uh, rocketed to the very top of the poll.

Let's check this out. Steve Hilton at 17%.

Yeah, it's our book. Let's go to Steve Hilton live right now before a very exciting California

gubernatorial debate that's going to be happening, uh, soon, I think in, uh, two weeks.

So we might actually be there. So, uh, let's check in with the great Steve Hilton live in California.

Steve, congratulations. Great, man. I can't believe these polls.

I know. Neither can the left wing media in California. It's like, what's going on?

You got a Republican, often two Republicans in the top. You know, there's a, there's a new one out

since that one you just showed. It has me on 20%. How about goodness?

Goodness gracious. We'll have our producers grab that right away.

I'm sorry. That's a steal. I would never knock you down a couple percent.

I would never do it. Steve, I think I don't think to be fair. I don't think it's

actually been published. Uh, we just heard about it. So, uh, they won't be finding that.

But I think in the next day or so, that'll be out there. We were just told about it this morning.

So good news. So on the heels of Nick Shirley's investigation, our investigation in the homeless

fraud. Thank you for joining and like helping us with this and uncovering the fraud.

You are back at it again, uh, announcing more discoveries of more looting of the state

treasury. Uh, could you and the taxpayers? Could you please, uh, uh,

enumerate what you found, Steve recently? So, Benny, as you, as you know, we, we launched, uh,

now it's nearly two months ago, Cal Doge, the California Department of Government Efficiency

Part of my campaign. Obviously, we're doing it on a volunteer basis at this point. We're not in

the government. So we don't have the access to the, uh, complete books, but just already we found

billions of dollars just by going through publicly available information.

This is, you got Gavin Newsom and the attorney general and the idiots in charge of California.

They could have been doing this for years, but of course they don't because they are in on it.

And this, this is the latest example, homelessness project home key. It's called 3.8 billion dollars

starting in the pandemic that they took to buy up properties and hand it over to, um,

homeless people. What actually happened was that they took these knocked down, properties

at knockdown prices inflated the value. It was pocketed by affordable housing developers,

part of the homeless industrial complex, cronies and donors to Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass.

And now the taxpayers on the hook for it, but these developers get the cash. The properties,

meanwhile, are almost all nearly empty, not even being used for that we stood in front of one of

them on, uh, you know, in, in Inglewood, not far from LAX, the other day to announce this latest

of our fraud reports. I mean, the scale of this is staggering. You and I went and toured one. It was

wild. It's been like, it's been like a decade, millions, millions of dollars funneled into this

scale of a Ramada. And it's, you know, it's now famous. And it is, we just, we just wandered in.

And there's like one guy binkin' around with a hammer and it's just a money pit.

And so it's, yeah, yeah. And so everyone's getting rich and the, and the only people getting fleece

the taxpayers. But what's really, really exciting is that because of the attention that your,

your investigation, Nick Shirley's investigation, just this weekend, I was with James O'Keefe,

he's doing amazing work in California exposing the voting side of this, paying homeless people

for signatures to register them to vote to get them. So what's being exposed is the business model

of this corrupt, democrat regime. For 16 years, they've been in power, one party rule. They've

never had any accountability, nothing. And this year, it's all changed. And what's happening

is why I'm so excited about our prospects to actually win in November here in California.

Because the whole regime is crumbling because you and Nick and us with Caldoge, we are exposing

the corruption and exposing there's nothing there and answering that question, which Californians

have. How is it that we pay the highest taxes in the country for literally the worst results?

Well, because the money's going into the democrat machine and into the corrupt cronies

of the democrat politicians. So James was on for the full hour and so was Nick on our last show last

week. And they were just rolling through their investigations and showing us what they found.

And the governor's office seems to now be in wholesale panic. I've never seen anything like it.

So the governor, so Gavin Newsom, he attacked me constantly. It was really fun. We just

ratioed him every single day. But you know, whatever, like they viewed it as, they viewed it as like

an opportunity of vector for attack. They did that with Nick Shirley as well. But less so,

you could tell they were starting to get degraded. And now James O'Keefe's on camera illegal

activity that he is capturing the physical money, changing hands in the street to the homeless.

Now that now they're in panic, I mean, these statements are insane, Steve. Gavin Newsom,

oh, we so saw we. We so saw we. Well, now we're so, oh, wow. Oh, you know, just because now that

is on camera, they're freaking out. So what is being exposed here, Steve? So there's two components.

So one is ballot initiatives. So there's in California, a lot of the stuff that the Democrats want

to make happen is put on there by. Hey there, I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest

money decisions possible. Do not ever worry about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you

aren't in a bad financial position. Once you have that, your salary becomes moot. What matters

from that point forward, upside games, any type of ownership stake or ownership potential,

that's the money. Remember, you can afford anything, just not everything. Afford anything.

Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Ballot initiatives where they pay the signatures.

Now you contrast that with the Republican initiative. So just now, a few weeks ago, we confirmed

that voter ID, whatever the idiots do with a save act in Washington or don't do here in California,

we've got voter ID on the ballot in November. We will be able to vote to make voter ID happen

in November. That's going to be a huge reason I win because it's going to get a big Republican turn

out. That was achieved the old fashioned way by volunteers collecting signatures in particular,

an organization called Reform California led by a friend of mine, Karl Demayo, a great

campaigner, collecting signatures from real people, a real membership organization,

same with another one to protect increases in property taxes. It's called Save Prop 13.

That was put there through the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, which goes right back to

the original taxpayer revolt in California in the mid 1970s. By the way, I was just endorsed by

the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. So those initiatives get there the right way. How do

the Democrats do it? They pay scammers per signature. And that's what we saw in action. And it's

supposed to be actual voters being paid. So the money is supposed to go to the businesses that

stand on the streets finding people to sign signatures. What we actually saw, the money is going

to their voters to pay for their signature on these ballot initiatives. That's not how it's

supposed to be at all. It's literally buying votes. And on top of that, it's not just any old voters,

it's homeless people who aren't registered to vote. So at the same time as buying their signature

for the ballot initiatives that the Democrats are pushing, they're also registering them to vote

often with fake addresses. The whole thing is just a complete joke. And it's exposing the thing we've

all been saying for years, which is how can you have any confidence in the voting system in a state

where they endlessly change the rules and rig the system to favor themselves politically?

That's what's just been exposed. Governor Steve Hilton, when you get into office,

what will you do first thing in order to shut down some of these obvious

fraudulencies that we've seen captured live on camera?

Number one is stop the money flow. And we can do that because what I'm doing differently this time

in the race for government than any candidate, Republican or Democrat, is putting together a team

just like President Trump. It was so powerful. It wasn't only 24. That team of rebels he put together,

the Bobby Kennedys and so on and Tulsi and all of that, an Elon. So that's what we're doing.

And there's a position called the state controller, which is an elected position here in California

that's usually filled with Democrat hacks that see it as a stepping stone for the next thing

they put there by the unions. Not this time. We've got a guy called Herb Morgan, you met him

who is a serious financial guy with Howard Lutnik's business partner, sold his business to

counter Fitzgerald. And the state controller has the power not only to audit every organization

receiving state money, but to stop the flow of money if we think it suspicious. That's number one.

Secondly, my running mate for attorney general, Michael Gates, we are going to prosecute.

We're going to prosecute this and see what we can do to get the money back to reclaim the

money that was stolen from the taxpayers. And then the third step is to totally clean up the

voting system, to investigate the voter rolls, to make sure that we have citizen checks

on the voter rolls and clean up this totally rotten corrupt system.

Will you commit live right now, Steve, to inviting back to California Doge, Elon Musk,

if he wishes to be part of the cleaner of California?

Oh, 100%. I mean, this is all hands on deck. I mean, obviously, it's Elon's idea,

and I'm modeling Caldoge on what he did. And a lot of people said to me,

oh, don't use Doge, and it's, no, it's not discredited. Everyone understands that we need it

more in California, even than I would say in the federal government, because at least in the

federal government, over the years, you had, you know, you had the first Trump administration

with an influx of conservative common sense ideas. Okay, then you have Biden, you have a bit of

back and forth. In California, it's been 16 years left, left, left, one party rule, everything,

all the statewide offices, the state legislature, all these bureaucracists infected. We're not just

with leftism, but the worst in the country, because that's what California's been. So we need the Doge

effort in California more than anywhere else. And of course, if we do that in California,

we're not only saving California taxpayers money, but massively saving American taxpayers money,

because a massive part of this fraud is federal money. When you're talking about Medicaid and all

of that, which is a huge part of the hospices, you saw that with Dr. Oz the other week. That's all

federal. So this is, and there's a national interest in Caldoge being as effective as possible.

So Steve, what happens when you get, well, we got, when you brought me to the, you brought me to

the port of John that had 26 registered people at it. And I was like, well, this is insane. And

that went viral. And then we got fact checked. And the fact check was, no, yes, it has, yeah, you put

up a video, yeah, yes, it has 26. Yes, you're right. There are 26 people registered to a toilet in

the middle of an empty parking lot. But it's legal. And in fact, in fact, anyone can register anywhere.

The Secretary of State actually got, gave the media comment on this, Steve. And the Secretary of

State is like, no, actually, people could register to Burger King parking lot or a stop sign.

They could register in the middle of a vineyard. They could register anywhere. That seems obscene.

It seems like, of course, designed for fraudulent votes. And then here comes James O'Keefe right

over the top showing exactly how this operation works. Right? And then you, you just fraudulently

register the voters, get their signatures and pay up. So that's how this whole system works. So we

had like both sides of the system together. Exactly. Yeah. That's why what James did is stop that.

How are you going to stop this, Steve? Because, well, because they're like, well, it's legal, you know,

well, we've got to change the law. We've got to change the law, including if necessary, with

as you need to do often in California, with a ballot initiative that we will get there for real

because millions of Californians are sick of this. They know that the whole system's been scanned.

And so we have to clean it up completely. We've got to give people confidence in our elections.

I mean, there was an estimate that in California, this is from my attorney general running

make, Michael Gates, who by the way, just before jumping into the race for attorney general

running with me on a ticket was that was in the justice department that working with Pam Bondi,

lead and Leo Terrell and Harmeet Dylan in the civil rights division, leading on election

integrity. So he really knows what he's talking about. In fact, he was the one behind one of the

federal lawsuits against California on the voter rolls. So you've got a PINTSA movement.

And so what you're seeing on a lot of issues right now in California actually is the Trump

administration pushing common sense changes very aggressively, whether that's on opening up oil

production or on this issue of voting or on forest management, a whole bunch of areas where you've

got the Trump administration acting, you've got the leadership in California today, the Democrats

pushing back filing lawsuits and all the rest. Imagine what we can do when we have a governor

and a team in California that wants to work with the Trump administration to clean up California.

That could be months away. I would take office in January. And so this is going to be a new day,

not just for California for our whole country. I know this is putting the cart before the horse.

I know that you have a recurnell texting me is really excited about the upcoming Republican

gubernatorial debate. That's awesome. I look forward to it, at least watching it. Maybe I'll

even be there. But if we can fast forward to the general, a lot of people would say, well,

there's no way a Republican can win in California. And that is, you know, just be, it'll just be a bunch

of Eric's, you know, it'll just be a bunch of fraud. And yeah, you'll get Eric Swahwell,

right? And, you know, and, and so I guess what, like, what is your response to those rumors?

So I, a couple of things. First of all, even since the last, uh, governor race in California in 2022,

the climate of opinion in California has shifted very negatively against the Democrats.

When people ask that basic question, which determines if it's a change election where they

kick out the incumbents, is the state or the country, whatever, going in the right direction, wrong

direction, that's moved very negatively against the Democrats. Used to be about 50-50. Now,

it's like 65 percent, 67 percent. I've seen it's California's going in the wrong direction. So

there is a majority for change. That's number one. Number two, in the midterm, as you know,

better than anyone, it's all about turnout, getting your votes out. Whoever does best,

getting their votes out will win. Now, if we look at the numbers and you take the average of the

midterm results in California 2018-2022 to project the numbers for this year, the total number of

votes we can expect, about 11.7 million, just as an estimate. So to win, I would need just over

half of that, 5.9 million. That's the target number of votes that we will need to win.

President Trump in California, in 2024, got 6.1 million votes. In other words, the Republican

votes are there in California. We just need to get them to show up in a governor's race.

Voter ID on the ballot will really help with that. So will that other proposition I mentioned on

saving Prop 13 and capping increases in property tax? So these ballot initiatives that are on the

ballot in November will help Republican turnout, as will my candidacy. I'm running on clear, strong,

common sense conservative platform, $3 gas, cut your electric bills in half, no more free

health care for illegal immigrants, your first 100 grand tax-free, a home you can afford to buy,

very practical things. So I just think that this year we've got, and the team that I've put together,

we've got, we've got, we've put a real credible government in waiting in front of Californians

in a way they haven't seen before, and then finally I'd say Benny, I'd rather seek for a weapon

or weapons, the Democrat candidates. Look who they're putting up. I mean, if you think about

the last 16 years, you've had a kind of inevitable Democrat government, you've had Jerry Brown for

all those years, then you had Gavin Newsom for all those years. Look at you've got Swalwell,

are you kidding me? Katie Porter, Tom Stein, the billionaire climate fanatic. These are their choices,

and they're all terrible. Your debate is going to be so good. It's going to be so good, Steve.

I can't wait any of that versus you in a debate stage. I just can't wait.

It's going to be something. Yeah, I'm not sure it'll be fair. You versus Swalwell is the one

I really want, but you versus Katie Porter, as long as you have a good bodyguard,

right? As long as you have a good security team around you, you should be good, but you've got

to be careful about the flying pans with hot potatoes. And the potatoes, exactly. Careful, bro.

My potato protector. That's right. Maybe we go back to the COVID days and we have some going to

perfect screen between the cats. You got that beautiful bald head. He dumped the scalding potatoes on

it. Yeah, she did that. That's in the that's in the federal filing. Yeah, she straight up did that.

You know, her husband got to pay out for that. It's crazy, man. It's crazy. Everybody

goes support Steve Hilton. Let me check this out. I mean, what a great story. I'm going to

turn things around. Oils flowing through California for the first time and generations. Steve

has primed and set and ready to go. We're very, very excited about the prospects and the

state. He's got hundreds of thousands of followers, 400,000. In fact, here on X, go ahead and give

him a follow a subscribe and his campaign website there. Steve God speed, man. It's going to be

awesome. It's great to see. We're going to be awesome. It's going to be an amazing year. Yes,

I'm very, very positive about it. Please text me that 20% poll with if you get it. I will. Yeah,

if that comes over to the top, thank you, man. Godspeed, Steve. See you soon. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, Steve talking a lot about how the economy can see you can fix people's lives.

You can fix the economy. You can win. Win with American financing. They're a long time partner

of the show. We talk about them a lot. Usually rates on credit card debt is a killer. Make sure

that you are out from those 20 and 30% usery rates for private credit card debt. Instead, go to

American financing. Give them a call right now and they can reconcile your debt in the low fives.

Where should be sort of at the Fed funds rate? That's what should be legal. Anyway, the point is

is that Donald Trump agrees. This is exactly how you open up your American futures when I talked

about at the state of the union. So call America's home for home loans at 888-528-1219-888-528-1219-American

financing.net-slash-banny-to-help. Ladies and gentlemen, with your credit card debt. This is my

favorite story of the week and I don't even know if we're going to do it or not. I asked my wife,

can I go to Cuba and she said, yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, sure. So, you know, I checked the flights

this morning. I'm so sick of this. So they got a bunch of lib tards in Havana. You just can't,

you can't beat it. They're playing at the, they're staying at the only five star hotel in

all of Cuba. It's the only hotel. It's the only building in all of Cuba that has power. You

can see here. It's the only, it's the only building that's still that's not like in total blackout.

So, they are, they're literally sipping lattes. They're complaining that they don't have enough

internet, a live stream. And they're supposedly there to save the communist regime. Of course,

they're blaming America for everything. So there's our hotel. You can see like on this completely

darkened street. The street is complete blackout. You got one hotel. It's where all the lips are

staying. And they're like, they're like, they're like bragging about how fun it is there with the

rolling blackouts. Here's Hassan Piker, who leaves his dog at home. If there's no electricity

to electrocute it, complaining about the rolling blackouts. It's incredible. It's truly one of my

favorite places officially. I totally understand why Will was saying that about Cuba. It's remarkable.

The people's resilience is remarkable. There's, I mean, there's like rolling blackouts at

take place throughout the day, every day, all around the country, right? 11 million people.

But today is a beautiful day out here. It's like 75 degrees sunny. People are partying. People

are partying the fucking streets. Oh, wow. There. I don't know if it's like a island mindset. I don't

know if it's like, I don't know if that has something to do with it. I'm sure that has something to

do with it. But like, they're just chilling. Like, they're chilling. You know, they don't have

any jobs. They got any electricity. We're sitting there and pre-known like zoo animals,

it's like a safari for pink-haired white people, filling the brown people who have no food,

no gas, no future, no jobs in their crumbling nation. It's been completely and totally

raped by communism. But yeah, we're sitting there, you know, I'm sitting there with my steak tartar

and my caviar and my little latte complaining about my internet saying that people are partying.

People are just partying in the street. Look at this hotel. This is where Hassan Piker's

day. The average Cuban lives on $156 a year. It wouldn't be able to afford Hassan Piker's

glasses that he's wearing in that club. Hassan Piker's glasses, that is a $1,400 pair of

Cartier glasses. He's a glasses, he's wearing. So what a complete clown car. This operation is,

what a total and complete clown car. So that, I mean, this is what they're doing and it makes me,

like, they're lying and it makes me angry. And I hate it when I see this kind of propaganda.

And it makes me feel like, it makes me like, I get like an itch and I want to let go. I could go

and go on a flight and expose these people and show what's really happening in Cuba.

So I'm going to do that. We're going to do that one of, like, as long as it's safe,

like, we're going to do that one of these days. It might be this week. We have to travel to CPAC

this week. So I don't know if it's going to be this week, but we're going to go do that. I'm

going to counter program here. I'm going to counter program at the airport with TSA, ladies and

gentlemen. We want our golden future. We want our golden era. We're going to have to get back to

obviously focusing on domestic issues. And if you have sort of the markets going as haywire as

they are right now, maybe it's time to invest in gold just a little bit. The first of five bit

into physical precious metals. My friends have an advantage gold. You can text advantage gold

today, texting Benny to a 5545 or something that's solid. Something that just performs in your

portfolio. Something that's, of course, lives by the scarcity principles that all economics

lives by. And that is a rock solid, precious metals company. The number one rated in fact.

Text Benny to a 5545, B-E-N-N-Y to 85545. You'll instantly get a free gold investment kit.

Don't wait while the gold rally keeps breaking records. Text Benny to 85545.

Okay, so we're heading to the airport. It's it's it's perilous out there. We've shown you what

the lines look like. Breaking news a lot of people are talking about this warning to pilots dead.

41 people hospitalized. After a Canadian plane, it's a fire truck when landing at LaGuardia,

causing airport closure. I haven't actually read up on the story so don't know who's at fault here.

Healing two pilots in hospitalized 40 others after an horrific crash obliterated the front

of a jet. Major travel hub. The bombardier, CRJ, 900 jet landing in Montreal, landing from

Montreal correction with 72 passengers. Flute was landing shortly before midnight. It smashed

onto a truck responding to an unrelated emergency. Audio caught an air traffic controller

frantically trying to stop the deadly smash. Repeatedly crying out stop stop stop stop stop.

He was heard later. I assume they're talking about the air traffic controller saying I messed up.

Yikes. Terrific images showed the front of the commuter plane obliterated

and tilted up in the air with debris and cables hanging off the mangled cockpit after a 24-mile

per hour smash. The pilot and co-pilot of the mangled were both killed. It's like crazy.

Scary. Many of the 72 passengers and four crew members on the jet were also injured, of course.

See the entire nose of the jet was ripped off. So it smashes into a fire truck when it was landing.

It's like why is the fire truck sitting on the runway? Pretty late at night too.

You just have to assume that the government shut down the TSA funding freeze that all this has

something to do with it. Yes, it is saying good. So Democrats need to be blamed for this.

We need to engage in political pressure and pain here and get back to Sanvi in our nation.

You shouldn't be able to defund the critical infrastructure. Speaking of critical infrastructure,

White House has installed a Christopher Columbus statue. The same statue that was toppled by BLM

in the riots in Baltimore. They took that statue and remember they went and they hunted it down

because literally because white people are evil. Christopher Columbus is one of the straight-up

all-time most impressive people to ever walk the face of the earth. He is a hero. He's a hero of

Christiandom and Western civilization. He is greater than I- he's one of the greatest men

to ever live. A bunch of lib tards and orcs toppled his statue again because they're just racist

and they hate white people and they hate accomplishments of white people. They hate Christians

and the White House got back at him by putting this up right out front of the executive office building.

Hey, Alex knows this staircase well. I know the staircase well is where you go to all your meetings.

So everybody who's going to a meeting at the White House effectively has walked by Chris

for Columbus and put up mad respects for one of the greatest humans to ever live. This is

installed as part of the White House's celebration of America 250th anniversary. Alpha moved there.

Ladies and gentlemen, Alpha. US Cuba economic deal done by when? Let's look.

You know, as somebody always knows, man, I was checking the markets this weekend. There's dudes

that were betting on a ceasefire. That ceasefire was going to happen by the end of March in Iran.

And boom, you know, boom, it had like a practically happened this morning.

And that's true, by the way, no matter what the Iranian say, it's happening. US Cuba economic deal

by June 30th. We'll Cuba do the pull of Venezuela, right? Kick out their corrupt ass leader,

change their ways, open up their economy, become a vassal state of America. It's awesome. Go for it.

It's great. You know, I mean, as part of any deal, you should have to deny, as part of any

deal, they should have to deny Hassan Piker's return trip to America. Forces on Piker to live

like an actual Cuban communist for a couple months. That should be, if I was negotiating this,

that would be part of any trip. But Hassan Piker has to stay there and live as a communist.

Like, like, for some, for some to live out, for some to live out his actual beliefs. This is how you

break people. But anyway, it looks like, it looks like the odds are up, man. It's going to happen by

June, potentially April. I guess we'll see. I guess we'll also see our verse of the day.

Very important day for all of us. I want peace. Peace is Christian. You should want peace,

President Trump. We hear rumors that President Trump is negotiating effectively the end of the

Ukraine war with the end of the Iran war. And that he's been talking with Vladimir Putin every single

day. That's what we hear. So could that, could they both have at the same time? Boy, man, you get,

you get approval rating jump of 20%. If you hit that, it'd be the most popular president in,

probably in history, if you could pull out one off. Apparently, that's what's going on behind

the scenes. I guess we'll see. Here we go. Second Corinthians, nine six. Whoever so's

sparingly will reap sparingly and whoever so's generously will also reap generously. We're going

to go engage in some generosity at the airport, get some TSA ages, some free lunch. So ladies and

gentlemen, thank you for supporting the show. Thank you for watching. Carry on with us off to

victory. That is assured for us in Christ our Lord. It's your banning. See you.

I'm getting out of here before any more missiles fall out my head.
