“These guys were a fifth column inside of the first Trump administration. ... They were taking part in a multistep process via the CIA, the deep state, and the American intel to release a pathogen, a bioweapon, onto the world to destroy President Trump.”

BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): Just one final little anecdote on all of this. We've done a tone of research, we could talk about it for the next 20 hours. Here it is.
How deep was the attack against President Trump? I don't think I have any pictures of it. I'd have to check. But I was invited to Mike Pompeo's office. And right at the beginning of COVID, I got invitations to meet with Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo. Now, you know, you're an influencer, you're somebody with podcasts, you have social media presence — this is not totally — this is kinda normal. Right? It's not out of the — it's not completely out of the blue.
But I'd never met with these guys before. Right? Like, they weren't my friends. Mike Pence wasn't my friend. Mike Pompeo — I didn't know Mike Pompeo. He was secretary of state at the time. But for some reason, right when COVID launched, they decided to haul in, like, big time Trump people to go meet with these two guys.
And what did the both of them tell me? Both of them told me in these secret meetings, these little private meetings, that what's gonna have to happen is we're gonna have to shut down the economy. Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo both told me that. Why? Yo, I'm just telling you what happened. And that shocked me. I remember going home to my wife and saying, the most insane thing just happened. You're never gonna believe it, but Mike Pompeo just told me that we're gonna have to shut down the economy because of COVID. What the hell is this?
And lo and behold, ladies and gentlemen, here we are sitting on the outset of four years from the total and complete shutdown of the economy, the destruction of President Trump's first term, and you gotta ask yourself, was it — was Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo colluding with the deep state to destroy their boss? Was this treason?
Something that we look forward to asking General Flynn. He'll be on the program soon.
Like, was this treason? Did they get to them? And now you've seen, obviously, the motions of Pompeo, the movements of Pompeo and Pence afterwards, after this.
And you gotta say, yeah. Totally. Completely. These guys were a fifth column inside of the first Trump administration, and they were the ones advising the president during this. Mike Pence was the COVID adviser.
And they were taking part in a multistep process via the CIA, the deep state, and the American intel to release a pathogen, a bioweapon, onto the world to destroy President Trump.
And then they were the ones on the inside facilitating the policies that would destroy Trump and destroy his first administration. And I know this because I sat in the room with them as they plotted it. Not that I was part of it. But they — you know, such a crazy time, you didn't really understand what was what was happening. But that's what happened. This is a matter of fact.
