BENNY JOHNSON: Somebody who got life, somebody who got, a lot of life this weekend was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein should have gotten life in prison when he was first charged with solicitation of underage prostitution in 2008 here in the state of Florida. Just so happened to have a very interesting conversation with the attorney general in the state of Florida. There's a lot of motion. There's a lot of things happening behind the scenes that are really exciting about this moment. Because of this movement and because you refuse to pay taxes to child predator cults, we are gonna save this nation. It's an amazing thing and so much happened over the weekend.
And I guess I should just like start with keeping the main thing the main thing, which was this weekend in Tampa, Florida Student Action Summit, Turning Point USA. There was a series of speeches that just burned the freaking issue to the ground. Some of the biggest names in the entire movement, Steve Bannon, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, humbly to a much lesser extent, myself.
We're all on stage demanding the release of the Epstein client list and without without a doubt — let me just tell you from firsthand experience, this is the number one motivating issue for the base.
You don't have a political movement if you don't have a base. And if that base feels like you're betraying them or not telling them the truth, then they're not gonna like that. I'm not saying — I'm not — I love President Trump. I'm not saying turn on Trump or anything like that. OK? This is without question. The MAGA movement is without question, the best vessel forward. And I think the MAGA movement could really be a durable hundred year movement. What I'm saying is that there are pressure point issues that have to be resolved here. And what happened this weekend was we were able to demonstrate what the pressure looked like.
