From the December 17, 2025, edition of The Benny Show, streamed on YouTube
BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): Today you are witnessing a miracle. The miracle is a group of young people who are more religious than their parents. You've never seen that, not in human history, not in American history, where church attendance and belief in God is higher than actually their parents' generation. You can see these numbers quite plainly. Again, in purchases of Bibles, in adherence to particularly traditional churches like Catholicism is seeing a great increase and spike,. and in belief in God, which remains incredibly strong in our party[…]There was a time when this was waning in both parties and it was collapsing from sectarian. And it's like a very weird psyop moment in, like, the 2010[…]You know, like, we need to just[…]liberalize the movement, and we need to get rid of traditional values and social norms and social conservatism. And Charlie brought that roaring back[…]
And the final thing is the motivation of those men. Because one thing is like, you know, OK. You have all these younger, more conservative people. What are they going to do with that energy? You're going to invade Venezuela? Which I'm totally against. Invade Canada? I'm more in favor of that, frankly. But what are you going do with that? Invade by peaceful means. I think Canada, you could just kick in the front door, honestly, and they just surrender. I think you could do that. I honestly think that would roll really easilyWhat what are you going do with that energy? Well, according to Gallup, so you have all these young people that believe in God. They're believing God in great numbers. They're more right-wing and conservative in greater numbers than ever politically. What is the motivation? What action are they going to take? They want families, dude
