What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song We'll all be flying higher than a jetliner Oh!
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
Right now, of course, we have the Putin price hike at the pump.
So my budget has a billionaire minimum tax, a 20% minimum tax that applies only to the top one hundredth of one per 100th of 1%.
We also recognize, just as it has been in the United States for Jamaica, one of the issues that has been presented as an issue that is economic in the way of its impact has been the pandemic.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we have coming to your centaur.
Sean Hannity.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show.
America trapped behind enemy lines.
Day number 230.
All right, Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free, 800-941-SEAN, if you want to be part of the program.
You might remember the Citizens United case.
That's Dave Bossie's case that won before the United States Supreme Court.
It's actually fairly amazing.
I've known Dave for a long time.
We've been friends for a long time.
I didn't even know he was working on this project until fairly recently.
He has a new movie out.
It's a documentary that blows the lid and exposes this $400 million effort by Zuckerberg, Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook CEO, for the 2020 presidential election to bolster then-candidate Joe Biden, Let me play the trailer for the new movie.
On the day that he was inaugurated, the Washington Post did an article on impeaching.
Hi, Donald John Trump, who solemnly swear.
Donald J. Trump is now president of the United States.
They had an absolute, legitimate meltdown.
If you try to change a system that big, the system fights back.
The story behind the biggest election takeover in history.
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife are donating more money to local governments ahead of the election.
The hundred million dollars on top of a 300 million dollar gift.
The most money any individual has ever spent to win a presidential campaign in the history of our country.
I actually became infuriated that someone had allowed Zuckerberg to skip.
The election was bought way before election day.
They stole it fair and square.
They changed the voting rolls in the middle of the game.
A nation divided.
This was the greatest billionaire assault on election integrity we've ever seen.
A billionaire-funded vibe against the president.
Do you believe that they used the COVID emergency as an excuse to pull this partisan voter turnout operation?
Am I allowed to give you a one-word answer?
Yes.
You can find the movie.
They set up a special website.
It's rigged 2020.com.
We'll actually link it to Hannity.com if you want to take a look at it.
I'm I'm I didn't have time last week going to watch it.
Um, but you've explained enough of it to me, and you were on television with us last night.
But what what we're pointing out there had been numerous reports all over the press that Zuckerberg was was giving all of this money to individual groups.
I don't think we knew the extent of it.
And in your documentary, we will blow that wide open.
Good to have you back, Dave Bosse.
Well, thanks for having me, Sean.
Yeah, this film's exciting.
It's the facts and evidence that the American people have been demanding since the election of 2020 because they know that something was wrong.
And what was wrong with it is a billionaire put 400 million dollars.
Uh the Chan Zuckerberg initiative put 400 million dollars into the election in the last 120 to 150 days of the election, totally off the books, no federal election laws, no nothing.
Through two C threes, nobody ever knew it was happening, and that's why Joe Biden won.
All right.
So most people, including myself, have no idea what you mean by C3s, how the money gets distributed, what kind of groups we're talking about.
I would guarantee you that probably ninety-eight percent of my audience doesn't know what a super PAC is and doesn't know the rules, regulations, laws.
I couldn't even cite them regarding super PACs.
So what we're talking about specifically here is monies that are sent to groups for efforts to help a presidential candidate, because otherwise there are limits on what you can donate to a candidate.
But then you have super PACs that are not allowed to coordinate, if my if my memory serves me well with the campaigns, and they can independently run, I think, unlimited amounts of ads, or is there a limit on that?
No, no, sir.
You're exactly right.
No limit on super pack ads.
That's correct.
But it's all disclosable.
Everything's disclosed.
Okay, so then Mark Zuckerberg comes along and he's through varying various groups, left-wing groups, donates this massive amount of money, which one can argue would have a pretty profound impact on any race, 400 million dollars, a lot of money.
Tell us what he did.
So the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative donated 400 million dollars into a pair of 501c3s to assist voter operation efforts during COVID.
That was the cover during COVID 19.
The Center for Tech and Civic Life received 328 million dollars.
And the Center for Election Innovation and Research received $69 million.
So it of the $328 million that went to CTCL, um, about $272 million went through $160 grants to uh to Biden uh dominated districts.
So 92%, 92%, Sean, of the 272 million dollars was given to Biden districts, and and that Biden won.
It was overwhelming.
Um it's a thumb on the scale, the lights nobody no one has ever seen before.
And just to put 400 million into perspective, and we talk about this in the film, we did we detail and have all of the data backed up using their own organization's tax filings.
That's where we found all of this.
But the DNC, Sean, the Democrat National Committee in all of 2019 and 2020, a two-year cycle, presidential cycle, spent 200 and um sorry, 461 million dollars, and Zuckerberg came in in the last 120 days and spent 400 million just on a voter turnout operation.
So before we put you on last night, as we always do, we we contact uh people and ask them if they want to comment on it.
Uh, just before the show, it took a while to get it.
I I forgot what time we got it.
It was pretty late, though, in the in the evening, I was told by my staff.
And they gave us a quote attributable to Brian Baker, who's the spokesperson for Mark and Priscilla.
And what they're spinning this as is this.
When our nation's election infrastructure faced unprecedented challenges in 2020 due to the pandemic, and the federal government failed to provide adequate funds to allow states and localities to conduct elections.
Mark Zuckerberg, Priscilla Chan stepped up to close that funding gap with two independent nonprofit Organizations to help the American people vote.
In full transparency, Mark and Priscilla announced their support for this effort well in advance of the election.
So this documentary is neither new nor newsworthy.
I'm going to give you a chance to respond.
They also did not participate in the process to determine which jurisdictions received funds.
But uh, and I know your answer on that one, but we'll get to that in a second.
The facts are clear.
Nearly 2,500 election jurisdictions, 49 states applied, and each jurisdiction that applied received funds, no matter whether they were historically Republican, Democratic, or swing districts, more jurisdictions uh that received funding historically voted Republican than Democrat, blah, blah, blah, blah.
The film, of which we've only seen two minutes, appears to feature the same people advancing the same claims that have been debunked.
They're admitting they gave the money, anyway, by multiple federal and state courts and respected news organizations, only this time set to dramatic music.
Now, I want you to respond to all of that.
Take your time.
So a couple of things.
One is we invited um Mark Zuckerberg and his wife to participate during the production.
We went and asked them for interviews.
Of course, they reject they they didn't even respond to our request.
So that's first and foremost.
So they can they they can now participate after the fact, but it would have been better if they had done it up front.
Now, as far as their accusation or their defense of what they did, what they knew, what they didn't know.
We know this.
Barack Obama's campaign manager, David Plough, is the chief strategist at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
Okay.
And Tina Epps Johnson and Donnie Bridges are the founders of the Center for Tech and Civic Life.
And prior to being there, Epps Johnson is currently an Obama Foundation uh scholar, fellow.
And uh and Donnie Bridges worked, and both of them worked for the new organizing institute.
A group that the Washington Post described, and I quote, the Democrat Party's Hogwarts for Digital Widget Wizardry.
That is not nonpartisan.
Okay.
So Mark Zuckerberg can say whatever he wants today that he gave it to nonpart.
Those are not giving it to hardcore leftist activist organizations, is not giving it to a nonpartisan organization.
Okay.
And so, and then those people gave it into the money into the Biden districts.
We you know, in a hundred sixty grants, what I was saying earlier.
Approximately 160 grants that they gave out.
Doesn't matter that 2500, doesn't matter that a majority of the 2500 went out in 10,000 increments to red counties.
That's not what we're talking about.
We're talking about the 160 grants from CTCL of 400,000 or more that equated to 272 million dollars, and 92% of that money went to jurisdictions carried by Joe Biden.
That's what we're talking about.
And that's what they're gonna have problems um in defending because those are the facts.
David Plough, Obama's chief guy, you know, running the thing, you know it's political.
I mean, that to me that's the all the the the biggest smoking on evidence of the whole thing.
Uh, did they offer any conservative uh an opportunity if they really cared about being fair?
Uh well, conservative.
Yeah, look, you know, I don't know that they offered any conservatives any opportunity to do this.
I I know that we offered the to have them tell us during the production what they did and what they didn't do.
And they didn't do that.
So we have the facts and the evidence provided in these two organizations own 990s, their tax filings that they filed themselves.
That's where we good got most of this information.
So we know what they spent in Georgia and the percentages.
So in Georgia, they spent 45 million dollars just out of CTCL.
45 million, the most out of any state in the country.
Wonder why that happened.
Quick break more with Dave Bossey.
His new documentary is out.
It's called Rig 2020.
It's on his website, Rig2020.com.
We'll link it on Hannity.com.
Then we'll get to your calls coming up.
800-941-SHAWN.
You want to be a part of the program?
*music*
All right, Dave Bosse out with a new documentary about Mark Zuckerberg and the nearly 400 million dollars that he spent in the weeks prior to the 2020 election.
Uh he has a website, Rigged2020.com.
I will link it to Hannity.com, make it easy for you to see it.
Let me let me ask you this question, because I think this gets to the the heart of all this.
Because we we just talked about super packs and they can spend unlimited amounts of money.
And you're describing the democratic effort.
And my question is the antidote and the answer that Democrats have figured out a way uh to to maximize their their voting turnout, and maybe Republicans have not matched that effort.
Should Republicans get 400 million dollars or close to 400 million dollars themselves?
Yeah, so what this is, Sean, is private funding.
It's not for TV commercials, it's not for anything.
No, this is get out the vote stuff, right?
For get out the vote, Sean.
It's for mail-in voting, absentee ballots, drop boxes, ballot caring, employees, and equipment to run the actual elections.
It's not what is supposed to happen.
So no, I don't believe that.
And by the way, if it was okay to do, why have 12 states passed and 12 governors signed laws that now explicitly outlaw Zuckerberg style funding from happening again in their state?
And five other states have passed the laws, and five Democrat governors have vetoed it in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and other places because they want to be able to do it again.
Are there other swing states that are part of the 12 states that have banned it?
So so like Pennsylvania um uh uh vetoed it, Wisconsin vetoed it, uh Arizona signed it into law, Georgia signed it into law, Florida signed it into law.
So you can see where this is where this is going, and you see what it is.
Let me just say this.
What about what about Georgia and North Carolina?
Those are the two important states, too.
North Carolina vetoed North Carolina vetoed it, Georgia signed it and passed it.
So you can see exactly what's going on here, Sean.
But let me just give to you one other thing that isn't was in the Zuckerberg statement that you had.
Real quick as we have a minute.
I want to make sure people can watch this on their own and and you can tell them I'm gonna go.
We want to we want to we want to go to rig they want to go to rig 2020.com and see this film.
But it there they said in their in in their statement that no no court, all the courts are throwing it out yesterday, Sean, just yesterday, and I talked about it on your TV show last night.
In in Louisiana in the Court of Appeals, Jeff Landry, the attorney general, was allowed by the Court of Appeals to move forward with his ongoing investigation into CTCL to get to the bottom of where the money came from, how the decisions were made, the discovery behind that gets involved in that investigation.
So the Zuckerberg statement isn't even true on its face.
We're gonna put it up on our website.
Uh Dave Bossey, president of Citizens United, friend of this program for a long time.
Uh uh, I won't, you know, it's by the way, it's a link.
You watch it online.
It's rigg2020.com.
Link on Hannity.com, and or you can just go there yourself.
Uh, we appreciate you uh uh being on the program.
We always appreciate having you and all the work that you do.
Dave Bossey, thanks so much for being with us.
Hey, thanks for having me, Sean.
I really appreciate it.
You bet.
Quick break right back.
Your calls on the other side, straight ahead.
Jobs.
Jobs.
Joe Biden can't spell it, and he can't keep them for the American people.
Check out the Sean Hannity jobs forum today.
Now, Hannity's on coast to coast.
At twenty-five to the top of the hour.
Glad you're with us, 800 941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
Uh we got a great hand at a nine Eastern tonight.
Tell you about that in just a second.
Uh in the meantime, uh, let's go to the phones.
Uh Sharon is in the great state of Texas.
Sharon, hi, how are you?
Thanks for being with us, and I hope you're ready for the next surge of illegal immigrants, because they're coming right to a town near you.
Yes, you're right, Mr. Hannity.
You are so right.
And down here in Texas, we're very concerned, and that's right.
That fits in with the point I want to make, and that is the um earlier in the week you were on the issue of uh depleting our supplies.
How President Biden is depleting our splash of oil and gas, and he's doing it all over the the world, on the world stage and here at home and everywhere, he's working against American interests in oil and gas production.
And so and and then he's leaving our border way wide open.
And I want to thank you for keeping uh on message with these both these um topics, as well as Ukraine, as well as Afghanistan, because I believe that Joe Biden is purposely depleting our supplies,
and he is purposely destroying our economy, and he is purposely overwhelming all our systems, which is exactly what the Socialist Democrat Party posted on their platform in the nineteen forties.
And that was the decade that I was born.
I was born in the nineteen forties.
It's all remember this, and our friend, Mark Levin reviewed this uh several weeks ago.
Thank me.
God bless us.
I I'll say it.
Nobody else will say it.
I said it.
I'm done.
Yeah.
You've got to admit that's pretty good.
He reviewed this about Cloward and Pivens and how the Socialist Democrat Party in the 1940s posted a platform that, And they said they intend to open all borders, our borders, and denude our citizenship, and overwhelm all our systems.
And we're seeing that going on today.
We're watching.
Mark as usual is right, and it's on every single front.
It's on every level.
Everything that he touches is a failure.
Um it is destroying this great republic.
The damage is real.
I mean, I mean, think about it.
He can't even he can't even he ran out of COVID tests over Christmas.
Monoclonal antibodies.
Uh, we had a 30-year high record, you know, his open borders policy, and it's and it's about to get worse if they get rid of Title 42, which is their intention, although they're trying to back off that and say, well, then the CDC says we can do it, uh, because they've gotten so much pushback.
Yep.
And the last thing, and and crime, they're the you know, defund, dismantle, no bell, idiots.
Uh, and then they're scratching their heads why we have record crime in every city and every town all across the country, and they're wondering why we have record high gas prices and a 40-year high of inflation.
This is not brain surgery.
I'm at I'm at r I've been at radio 35 years, and I know it works, and I know it doesn't work, and they know it too, but they don't seem to give a hoot.
All right, back to our phones.
Joan is in New York on the all-new AM 710 WOR.
What's going on, Joan?
How are you?
Hi, Joan.
I how are you?
Sean, I'm fine.
How uh how are you?
I'm good, thank you.
Don't know if you remember, but one of your very first jobs when you were just about fourteen was mowing our lawn in Franklin Square.
So I I I do remember mowing lawns for tons and tons of people.
Uh yeah, I used to take the law mower and and and I think I charge five bucks a lawn.
Is do you remember?
I wouldn't remember.
Um I said, do you remember what Sean charged?
Yeah, I don't remember.
Oh, he's saying yeah, five dollars a week, yes.
All right, so that's what that's what I remember.
At least that meant part of my memory is working better than Biden's.
Yeah, and why I'm calling is just to let you know, I don't know um if you've been back here recently, but it's not the same as it was back when you were here.
Um the um because of all this no cash bail and anti-police, the uh crime and loneliness is starting to branch out into Franklin Square.
And you know we're close to uh New York City.
Now we are absolutely afraid to go into Manhattan now.
But now at night we don't even feel safe in Franklin Square.
There's literally groups of criminals hitting entire blocks at 5 a.m in the morning and breaking into cars even if they're locked cutting out the catalytic converters under the cars.
There was a smash and grab at our local Walgreens and a gas station was robbed at gunpoint and the suspects are running loose through the uh neighborhood.
I don't know if you remember Polk Street's talk do you remember the the where Belmont Park is where they have the Belmont stakes and there was a town next to our town called Elmont.
Which I guess maybe is where Belmont came from I don't know.
And I remember at that time because it was right on the Queens Nassau County border and Elmont used to have the they had the Argo movie theater you might remember that.
Yeah I'd occasionally go there.
But the stores in Elmont usually had bars on the window like stores in Queens.
But Franklin Square did not have that.
Has it now evolved into that?
Um well maybe not quite that big but I can tell you that um we do not feel safe going out after dark and coming into the house because it's getting uh a little bit out of control.
And I think what I would my message would be is that we just need to vote these uh Democrats out because of all these uh crazy uh crazy uh laws and everything the other thing I wanted to talk about is um we were alive we can remember the Cuban Missile Crisis.
I was only in the sixth grade.
And not that there ever would have been or will be anything when Trump is in office.
But with Biden, we're just we're really worried.
Now, I would suggest for people to go and Google the Kennedy speech during the crystal Cuban missile crisis and listen to a few minutes of it.
And it's the antithesis of what Biden would say.
So I have to say for the first time we were talking recently saying, gee, You know, God forbid what would happen if this escalated with Biden in charge.
It's just very disturbing.
All right.
Can I ask you a serious question?
And I have nothing against, obviously, the town that I grew up in.
And you know my story.
My dad grew up poor in Bed-Stuy.
My mom grew up poor in the South Bronx.
And, you know, getting that Cape Cod house on that 50 by 100 lot that we all lived on was a big deal to them.
And, you know, it's sad to hear this.
Isn't it time for you to just take, you know, pack up, sell your house, move to Florida, find a place?
a nice little place nice town that you want to live maybe go to the villages America's friendliest hometown I don't know wherever you feel comfortable or maybe one of the coastal regions the west coast east coast I've I've been on both I like them both and and just get out of here.
Because your property taxes are through the roof, I'm sure.
Yes, yes, yes.
And also, yeah, gas prices.
Yeah, I was excited the other day.
Gas was, excuse me, $4.03.
Yeah, we would, and we have considered that.
The only thing is we have three adult children and seven grandchildren.
So that at this point, we're not ready to do that.
But we are considering maybe in the winter either renting a place somewhere out of New York State.
But, yeah, we're not as happy as we were.
uh thank you for calling thank you for remembering I uh if I did anything wrong as a kid I was a little bit encouragable.
Yeah actually I need to uh I need to talk to Joan because I think Joan will be more honest with me.
Joan I'm admitting my sins.
I know Joan we have to ask you was Sean Hannity a good lawn mower.
Um yes the only little bit of criticism I would have is we had an apple tree and we still have it and he didn't always love picking up all the apples so my husband would complain about that but other than that he was absolutely perfect that sounds like me.
I can hear that oh you know I used to love breaking the lawn for my dad we had this huge big oak tree and and in the fall I mean it was it covered the whole backyard and I didn't mind raking them up into piles but putting them in the bags I hated that's honestly if that's the worst thing you did I think So if no, if if Joan doesn't know remember the other stuff, I'm not getting into it.
I am not telling this audience every aspect of my personal life growing up.
I'm just admitting I was incorrigible.
It's a fair statement and it's an honest statement, Joan.
Uh but I remember you um I remember you guys.
We used to hang out at the creek in Wrath Park, right?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, wait, that's another thing.
The creek, um, because we went walking there recently.
Every house that borders on that creek has these phenomenal cameras because that's where the bad guys go when they're running away from the police.
Oh, the creek.
Wow.
There's no water in it anymore, but um there is.
But no, it's not a lot of people.
There isn't much water than in there then at the time.
You could actually walk walk from Wrath Park down through the creek and get all the way to Oaks Drive.
Yes, and also Wrath Park, the town pool.
Um, not the greatest place anymore either.
A lot of issues uh down uh down there.
Yeah, it's I mean took the high diving board down.
I used to love that high diving board.
Oh yeah, we were actually just there.
I don't even remember we don't dive.
But also I remember you um with your hockey net on your shoulder driving up to Polk Street.
Uh we played hockey up there all the time.
And we played stickball up there all the time and baseball up there all the time.
Right.
We've it's still a little bit more.
It's a very very different era that we grew up in, Joan.
Yeah.
Yes, absolutely.
So now unfortunately into the schoolyard.
What I'm sorry?
My favorite pizza ever, and I c I've taken both my children a number of times to Carmela's.
Any if I'm if I'm within fifteen, twenty miles, I'll make my way to Carmela's.
Oh, they're so good, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
And well, if you're ever in Franklin Squares, you can uh uh uh drop by.
Remember, we're not you I'm sure you remember where we are a few houses down from where you lived.
Yeah, I spent many a night in with a blue lounge when I was like fourteen, they'd even serve me, and then the nook and cranny later, but I was tending to bar the merry pedaler in Florida Park.
But anyway, I uh uh love reminiscing Joan.
I think most people listening to this have no idea uh of the life that we had growing up.
Um it wasn't perfect, but it was such a step up for our parents that we were very blessed in and looking back, I appreciate their sacrifice more and more, and I know I stand on their shoulders and and I had nice neighbors like you ratting me out all the time.
My next door neighbor would constantly see me doing wrong stuff and tell my parents and and it was the right thing to do.
They did the right thing.
Uh God bless you, Joan.
800 941 Sean, our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
All right, quick break very back to the phones.
We go eight hundred nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh Mel Gibson is gonna check in with us.
We haven't talked to him in a while at the top of the hour.
The problem we're facing with gas prices has two roots.
First, the pandemic.
When COVID struck, demand for oil plummeted.
So production slowed down worldwide.
Because of the strength and the speed of our recovery, demand for oil shot back up much faster than the supply.
That's why the cost of gas began to rise last year.
The second route is Vladimir Putin.
The start of this year, gas was about three dollars and thirty cents a gallon.
Today it's about averaging four twenty, four twenty-two is higher in many states.
Nearly a dollar more in less than three months.
The reason for that is because of Putin's war.
All right, back to our busy phones.
Mel Gibson at the top of the hour as we continue.
Uh Alabama.
I lived two years there.
I might hear about my time there.
James, you're up next.
How are you?
Um doing all right, Sean.
How about yourself?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Yes, sir.
I was listening to your show yesterday.
Um you were talking about Russia's economy and how How we're pretty much collapsing their uh the ruble and and things like that.
But um did you know that they actually are charging the countries that are buying uh oil from Russia?
They're only allowed to be paid in rules.
Listen, they're not getting hurt because they're getting Western European dollars from oil and gas.
And but don't worry, NATO's gonna have a task force looking into it.
That's gonna be really helpful.
Well, the currency is actually backed by a commodity now.
The the ruble has stable the ruble itself, though, has stabilized.
I don't know if I what they did is they talked about all these tough banking sanctions, but they carved out an exception so NATO countries, Western European countries, uh, can pay Putin, probably not in rubles.
Putin's not stupid, and Putin has all the leverage.
So they're paying him in real money.
I don't think I don't think their economy is hurting as much as people's making it.
No, and I don't think he's upset as much as people think he is either.
And if Joe Biden keeps going out there and everyone keeps trying to embarrass him, saying what a disaster it is, he's just going to get more fierce because he he obviously is soulless.
This man does not care about killing women and children.
And if you're that soulless, you'll just ratchet up the killing.
You know, he's an evil, maniacal, megalomaniac, narcissist, you know, murderer.
And it's, you know, we've talked about evil over the course of history.
This is real evil unfolding in our time, and and that's why I support giving the weaponry for the Ukrainian uh people who've shown an incredible strength, fortitude, and valor, and willingness to fight, to fight their own battle and stop Putin right there.
It'd be great.
Uh I got a roll, though.
I appreciate the call.
800 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Quick break, right back.
Quick break.
Quick break.
800 full relief.
To find out more about this off a feel the difference.
What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
