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.
America trapped behind enemy lines.
Day number 355.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup, information overload hour.
We are in Dallas, Texas today for CPAC 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, there are four races I'm really paying attention to.
Senate races, there's more than that.
I mean, we've got to win Florida.
We've got to win Georgia.
Herschel's got to win.
There's a lot of weird stuff happening in Pennsylvania.
Number one, yesterday, apparently John Fetterman came out in support of boys being able to play in girls' sports, biological males being allowed to play in girls' sports.
Then, now, this guy has even bragged that he's to the left of Bernie Sanders.
Just, I want the people in Pennsylvania to fully know.
And I know there might be some bad blood.
There was bad, you know, they had a very intense primary runoff in Pennsylvania and the Republican side.
All the candidates have come together, though.
And that means the people need to come together.
And I don't care if you supported Kathy Barnett.
I don't care if you supported Dave McCormick, you know, all the other candidates that ran in Pennsylvania.
Anyway, so now you got this guy Fetterman.
Now, he had a stroke before his primary.
He's only been seen one time.
Now, the primary was weeks and weeks, what, a month and a half ago.
And he's only been seen once since then.
And by the way, I wish the guy good health.
I don't want him to be Pennsylvania senator.
He's so radical.
He brags of being to the left of Bernie Sanders.
And if you like Joe Biden's policies of record high inflation, record high gas prices, open borders, the new Green Deal climate alarmism, then you'll love John Fetterman.
If you want to release a third of criminals, which is what he has called for, releasing people out of prison, you're going to love this guy.
If you think men born biologically born men should be playing female sports, women's sports, he's your guy.
If you want a sanctuary city and state in Pennsylvania, he would be your guy.
One thing that came out yesterday, and I found this very interesting because I had not seen it before.
And believe it or not, it's the Philly Inquirer.
And they did a big piece on John Fetterman, how he lived off his parents until he was 46 years old.
Wow.
Did he ever have a job?
By the way, murders in the meantime last year went up 60% in Philly and surrounding areas alone.
So he's a lieutenant governor.
What is he doing?
And how come nobody in the media is saying, where is this guy?
Is he up to the job?
What's the status of his stroke?
Is he going to hold the press conference?
Is he going to debate Dr. Oz?
Anyway, the piece goes on to say, this guy wears a hoodie all the time.
He bills himself as a working-class hero that clawed his way up the political ladder through real grit and determination.
Well, the Philly Inquirer shattered that lie and went into Fetterman's background.
And basically, what they found is a spoiled trust fund baby who's lived off handouts from wealthy parents until only six years ago when he was 46 years old.
According to Dr. Oz's campaign, while Fetterman was depending on mommy and daddy to cover most of the income, he failed to pay taxes 67 times on a small amount of income that he made on his own.
Now, this needs to be investigated.
He deserves the Hannity treatment, which is, oh, file a tax return, pull it, and in come the IRS.
Anyway, so the phrase blue-collar tough guy flashes across his TV ads.
Grim-faced Fetterman poses before billowing smokestacks.
He looked different and he'd been different his entire life.
And it turns out the guy's lazy and has been a trust fund brat his whole life on top of his radical positions.
Anyways, to get an update on the race in Pennsylvania, Dr. Oz joins us.
How are you, sir?
I'm doing very well.
I think you've encapsulated it perfectly.
And it's actually the only question that I have to get addressed for the people of Pennsylvania is, you know, in a democracy, you should be able to talk to your candidates.
Your candidates should be able to hear what you've got going on and be able to articulate what they think they can fix.
What are the policies they stand for?
And John Fetterman has been hiding at home for almost three months now.
Think about that.
This is not just the Joe Biden treatment.
For three months, he's not come out and talked to people about what he would do if he was a U.S. senator.
He's not answered any questions.
He's just not been able to get engaged in it.
You know, I need someone to come out and play with me.
I'm out here campaigning.
I'm in the middle of Pennsylvania, not far from state.
John Fetterman, come on out and debate.
Come on out and play.
It's game time.
Exactly.
It takes two to tango.
By the way, does anybody even know if I'm a Democrat?
I want to know if my Senate candidate is up to the job at this point.
Don't you?
Well, I can't even get into his health.
And the reason for that is I don't know anything about his health.
And I can guarantee that's true for everyone else listening because no one knows anything about his health.
And that's a separate issue that I think the press appropriately should be pushing on forward because we just, you know, as citizens, people want to know.
But as a candidate, my focus is not whether he's healthy or not.
He tells us that he's healthy or not, that he's healthy enough to campaign, even though he's not campaigning.
So, you know, if he says he's healthy, I'm going to trust him, at least for now.
But what I'm not going to trust is what he would do when you pull back the hoodie because he's got some crazy ideas that he would implement if he was elected.
And I'm much more worried about what he would do if elected than whether or not his health would allow him to be elected.
And you should focus on those positions and just touch on them a couple because they're critical.
In terms of the economy, he believes Joe Biden could have pushed harder with Bernie Sanders.
If he just aligned with Bernie Sanders and followed Bernie Sanders' lead, we would have been fine.
He actually said on tape that if you like Joe Manchin, do not vote for me because I'm not going to be a Joe Manchin kind of guy.
He wants to bust the filibuster.
He wants to pack the Supreme Court, add a couple more states to our country.
He wants to do radical things that would destabilize this country because he's never been a serious candidate for anything.
You know, he doesn't run on policies.
He just runs on this hoodie and the shorts.
And I'm a cool guy, and I'm going to write a lot of ads.
And it's actually undermining of democracy when your candidates aren't actually forced to talk about what they're going to do.
Instead, they can just tweet out jokes about this or that.
In fact, the Inquirer, which is hardly a Republican bastion of information, not reading yesterday's article when they caught up with him on all this craziness that was happening with living off his parents, but the day before said, Fedderman, enough.
Stop joking around.
Say something.
We got 561 murders in Philadelphia, the most ever in the city's history.
Where are you?
You keep telling us that you support the Soros back DA and you're fine with releasing one-third of all prisoners.
You don't believe in life sentences no matter what the person did wrong.
You pushed for more parole than any other lieutenant governor ever.
Where are you on these issues?
Well, we're dying.
You say, Federman, that you're for sanctuary cities and open borders.
Look what's happening.
Because of the open border, we've got trafficked human beings profited by, you know, the cartels that are running them are profiting from these trafficked human beings, taking the money by narcotics and bringing fentanyl into the country at numbers that are staggering.
We had 100,000 deaths last year, Sean.
Four times more than died from COVID under the age of 50.
And Pennsylvania, top five in the country in fentanyl narcotic deaths.
We've got whole blocks of Philadelphia, uninhabitable.
We have zombies wandering the streets with needles sticking out of their necks.
And I'm not exaggerating.
I've actually gone down there.
I filmed.
It's up online on droz.com.
All this is there, but he refuses to engage.
And this is my one request to everyone, Sean, because everyone's listening to this, to your radio show all over the country with great interest.
The reason that Federman is doing well is because the Democrats have poured money into his campaign.
This is a race that's ours to lose.
If people understand what Sean and I are saying, we win.
Please support us, droz.com.
Spell my name out, doctoroz.com.
Support us in any capacity possible.
And please follow us on social media.
I've got 13 million people to hear the stories.
You can help make sure that you're not.
Dr. Oz, is it you write out doctor or DR, period?
D-O-C-T-O-R.
Spell out Dr.Oz.com.
Pull on Dr. SpellitOutOz.com.
Quick break.
More with Dr. Oz on the other side.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
As we continue, we're in Dallas.
We're at CPAC.
Continue with Dr. Oz.
800-941, Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
If these are his positions and he wants to pack the court, eliminate the legislative filibuster, add more states.
You know, people have got to know this.
And I don't think the people of Pennsylvania know a whole lot about it.
And is it because, what, the ads that he's running, the stupid, you know, Twitter tweets that he's thrown out there?
You know, why is this at this point?
Why is this race not a little closer?
It's not about Twitter.
That's not what's happening.
We're running into a problem because the Democrats have poured so many into flooding the airwaves with advertisements that dishonestly portray what's happening.
That we run into a log jam, and I finally got my ads up.
I'm raising money aggressively.
I spent all my money in our primary.
Federman didn't have one.
He saved his money.
But I'll tell you something happened yesterday.
Yesterday I went up to Erie.
I mean, I've done 125 events in July alone.
I mean, I'm on the road every day.
And up in Erie, I talked to the fraternal order of police, and the entire state group was there, and they endorsed me.
Now, I think I had a pretty good job of getting endorsed because Federman never responds to their letters.
A bunch of sheriffs wrote him letters saying, how come you want to decriminalize all drugs?
Why did you pull the U.S. flag down and replace it with the marijuana flag, which is illegal and this reason?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
He wants to decriminalize crack.
Yes, all drugs.
He doesn't want you going to jail for using crack.
And heroin?
And fentanyl?
Is he out of his mind?
He's, well, this is why they were writing this letter to him saying, what are you trying to do?
The lieutenant governor is on the parole board.
But this is the part, John, that got me.
I'm in this huge meeting, hundreds of cops, leaders from all over the Commonwealth.
And an African-American woman gets up and she's emotional.
And she says, John Fetterman has treated me worse than any other person in my entire career.
He's treated all of us in the Capitol Police.
They're from Harrisburg.
That's where he's now ostensibly lieutenant governor.
And he treats us like we're something stuck to the bottom of your shoe after you walk out of a dog park.
And she was trying to be, you know, hold herself together.
The room chilled.
These people know what it means to disrespect officers professionally, to make fun of them on your Twitter account, to disrespect them in your commentary, to over and over again, hammer them for doing the best they can.
And it's that attitude that not only is it hurting our ability to recruit cops, but the cops that are there, they're not running after the criminals because why bother if the DA is going to release them anyway?
I heard from a public defender complaining about the prosecutors not doing their job.
She says, the fifth time I've got some dangerous guy that I'm defending, I don't want him going free.
My job, unfortunately, is to defend the guy, but someone should be prosecuting him.
And Fetterman looks the other way.
The African-American people that I've spoken to in Philadelphia have often said to me, they feel like they're part of a social experiment where a bunch of white-woke radicals like John Fetterman make these decisions, decide arbitrarily not to enforce the rules.
The African-American population pays the price.
The white woke radicals leave and go home to their safe neighborhoods.
And that is a reality that should come back to haunt the Democrats.
You need to take care of all Americans.
You need to support them, not just care about caring, care about fixing, which sometimes means making difficult decisions.
So if the Democratic Party nationally is pouring all of this money into Pennsylvania, they think they can pull off a Joe Biden victory with Fetterman, who's more radical than any other Senate candidate running in the country this cycle.
And that's saying a lot.
That's their gameplay.
They believe it's like selling detergent.
Keep the candidate home.
You know, if you don't say anything, you don't make any mistakes either.
Many campaigns are lost and not won.
You win a campaign by getting your opponent fired by the voters.
So if he never leaves home, literally, I'm not talking about Joe Biden, by the way.
Literally never leave home.
Never do an interview where you actually are asked questions spontaneously.
Never are in public where people can confront you about something you've said, then you're not going to make any mistakes.
Hide at home, run the ads, sell the hologram of the candidates, the vision you have for your candidate.
Is that democracy, Sean?
Aren't we supposed to go out and talk and be challenged?
I go out, you know, today I've done six, seven events.
People ask me tough questions.
They don't always agree with me.
I did an event last night here in Pennsylvania with a bunch of school board members, school teachers, and parents.
Pennsylvania yesterday, the Department of Education announced that they're going to have a gender-free day where they're going to teach kids as young as three years old that there's no such thing as boys and girls.
It's a fluid spectrum of gender.
Not surprisingly, parents are upset.
I went to this meeting and I addressed some of the things that we could do to fix the problem.
But you've got to answer tough questions.
Okay, this guy can't hide any longer.
The people of Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, need to call this guy out.
And the media needs to do their job.
They didn't do it in 2020.
They can't allow this to happen again.
This guy needs to be held accountable for these radical positions.
And I will tell you, I mean, he is the most radical Democrat running this cycle.
He makes Bernie Sanders look conservative.
Anyway, Dr. Oz, we're going to continue to follow this.
This is a very critical race.
Everybody's got to pay attention to it.
What's going on in Pennsylvania?
Apparently, they're dumping millions on you from outside the state.
Doesn't surprise me.
So if people want to help Dr. Oz out, it's spell out doctor, droz.com.
And you can find out where he stands on positions and everything in between.
Appreciate you being with us.
Thank you, sir.
God bless you.
800-941-SHAWN, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
Name them accountable.
Sean gets the answers no one else does.
America deserves to know the truth about Congress.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program in Dallas today for CPAC.
We'll be doing Hannity from the free state of Dallas, free state of Texas in Dallas tonight on Fox at 9 o'clock.
Looking forward to seeing you then as well.
We'll tell you about a great show that we are putting together as we speak.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Al is in Florida.
Al, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Thanks for being with us.
Hi, Sean.
Thank you very much for taking my call.
I have a quick observation I wanted to let you know about and see if maybe your team can examine it or look into it.
I'm in Florida, where specifically the last two weeks, there's been a huge influx of Haitians and Cubans as well that were apprehended and repatriated, taken back to their countries where they can face execution to God knows what else.
So I don't understand what is the open border policy that the Biden administration is always boasting about.
When did they get rid of Wetfoot Dryfoot?
In other words, if you were coming from Cuba and you got one foot on dry land, you would not be repatriated.
You'd be allowed to stay.
What happened to that policy?
I don't know what happened with that, but last week alone, I know that there were some Cubans that landed in a specific key or a small key of Key West, which I understand is still part of the United States, and they were taken back and repatriated.
Also, Haitians that were captured and they were taken back and repatriated.
And it's just funny that it's not funny, but last week alone, there was a lot of it going on, a lot of it happening.
And I'm like, wait a minute, why is it okay for anybody who's not even Mexican to walk into the Mexican border and then these guys are being sold?
Well, actually, most of the people crossing the Mexico border are not from Mexico.
They're from Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, et cetera, Central America.
So I don't see how the Biden administration can explain the difference in treatment from the people coming into the border, regardless of where they're coming from, and allowing them in the country.
And then people that come to our shores are actually taken back.
And specifically to a country like Haiti or Cuba that you know they're going to face serious repercussions.
Well, historically, remember what would happen to people from Cuba if, in fact, they got caught and we sent them back.
The odds were very high they'd be murdered by Castro and his idiot brother.
And so that's why that's where that policy came from and originated from.
And, you know, you got to look at what people in Cuba would go through.
They'd get in these broken down, dilapidated, rickety boats and shark-infested waters.
They'd pop themselves in an inner tube and try and make it to the U.S.
And it was a perilous journey.
Many people lost their lives in the process.
And this is the problem.
When you see, if you live in Central America and all of a sudden, you know, you're getting word that everybody's being led into the U.S., all that's doing is incentivizing hundreds of thousands of more people to come, which has been happening every month.
As we set a record last year, we'll set another record this year.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
John in California.
John, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Yes, what I wanted to talk about was everybody's asking why Pelosi went to Taiwan, even though Biden didn't want her to go.
There's one reason she went to Taiwan, and that was to suck all the oxygen out of the news cycle for the week because her husband, Paul, just happened to be going to having his court appearance for the DUI from coming home from a party where he went to Solo.
And on Monday, the Napa DA released a news, a press release.
Well, on Monday, everybody was talking about, is Nancy going to go to Taiwan?
Is she going to stay the night?
So nobody even noticed the news release.
On Tuesday, we covered it on our show.
Now, if you're looking at the media mob, look, we learned something last night.
One of our guests said, and I did not know this.
And it makes sense, though.
Napa Valley is like the fifth highest in terms of incidences of DUI or drunk driving or driving under the influence.
And it makes sense because there's a lot of wineries there.
For some reason, people like to go on, you know, from winery to winery to winery.
The only problem is, you know, by the time you get to the third, fourth winery, you're pretty Adam shift-faced.
And at that point, you know what?
You're going to get a DUI and the cops know if you're coming out of a winery, you know, out they come.
So if you're going to go to a winery and do the tour and drink all the wine, you might want to make sure you have an Uber driver or, you know, a regular driving company or something or a taxi company to take you where you're going.
Anyway, appreciate your call.
Thanks so much.
John in California, 800-941-Sean on number.
Mike is in South Carolina.
Mike, how are you?
Where in South Carolina are you?
Hi, Sean.
Actually, I'm driving, so I'm in Bozeman, Montana.
But anyway, Buford, South Carolina is where I'm going to end up.
But first, your call screener was awesome with me.
That was awesome.
Second, I owe you an enormous thank you.
What did I do?
Now I'm in trouble.
What did I do now?
Oh, no, you're not in trouble.
Do you remember about eight, nine years ago when they were drilling in North Dakota and you were talking about blue-collar opportunities and getting a CDL and making six figures?
Yeah.
I remember because they were paying drivers.
First of all, they were training drivers.
They'd give you a place to live and they were paying you six figures and you can get all the overtime you wanted.
I mean, those were really good days.
What is that?
The Marsalis Shale area, North Dakota.
And you know what?
A lot of people took our advice.
I was shocked.
Westabach in North Dakota.
Stephakin in North Dakota.
Okay.
And I was shocked.
So many people listened, took my advice.
I said, look, if I needed a good job right now, I'd head to, you know, where oil production is plentiful and they needed a lot of help at the time.
And I know, so anyway, so you went as a result of me talking about it?
No, but you're going to be really shocked at this.
Now, be quick.
At the time, I rented a commercial building, small town West Virginia on Main Street.
Ironically, it was a radio station.
So I was sleeping in one of the offices on a futon.
I had a college fridge and I had a gym membership.
And I was getting a shower down at the gym.
And I thought, you know what?
I was going to open a graphics business.
And I thought, this sucks.
And I just kept thinking about what you were talking about, what you were talking about.
So I went out and got a CDL.
And I started trucking and started renovating the building.
Got wiped out by the 2016 West Virginia flood, kind of what they're going through now in Kentucky.
Opened a coffee shop, closed the coffee shop because of COVID.
The building's almost paid for.
The building and parking lot.
I bought the whole building and parking lot and went back trucking, was a company driver with this company for about six months.
And I was eligible to go lease purchase and become owner operator.
I became owner operator.
I'm making, I'm grossing $33,000 a month now, which is crazy, taking home $11,000 a month.
And this is why I really want to thank you.
This week, I was approved.
for the loan to buy a building lot in Buford, South Carolina in a gated waterfront community that when I'm finished trucking in about five years, I'm going to build my dream home on.
And it's all because you inspired me eight, nine years ago.
And I just wanted to call and again, just say thank you.
Well, number one, you're very welcome.
What an amazing story.
This is what I love about America is that if you're willing to work hard, I mean, if you're to get your hands dirty, get out there, hustle the way you've been hustling, work really, really long hours.
Driving a truck is really hard and it pays off.
I mean, there's nothing better in life.
You know, I can't imagine getting up every day and having nothing to do.
I would think that is the most miserable.
You know, people think that's the greatest thing in the world.
I know people that have retired and I said, how's the retirement?
Oh, it's great.
You ask them month one.
You ask them month three.
Yeah, it's good.
It's good.
It's not bad.
You ask them month six.
I'm bored out of my freaking mind.
That's almost every single person.
Now, there are a couple of people.
There are exceptions.
I know some retired people.
They want to fish and they want to play golf and they want to take naps and they want to have their cocktails in the afternoon and their cocktails at dinner.
And they want the early bird special.
One such person was Matt Towery until I dragged him back into politics.
I mean, every day I'd call him.
I said, what are you doing?
It's 5 o'clock.
He goes, oh, we're at dinner.
It's 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
What do you mean you're at dinner?
I eat dinner at 11 o'clock at night.
What are you talking about, dinner?
And finally, I just said, I'm sick and tired of this life you're living.
It's time for you to get back into the game and start getting back to polling.
And I think he's glad that I made him.
I don't know.
But anyway, back to you.
I couldn't be happier for you, Mike.
Honestly, but you did all the work.
You did the hard work.
You did the legwork.
Can I share one more thing with you real quick?
Yeah, go ahead.
So you were talking about working hard.
So this year in 2022, no girlfriend, no wife.
My son's grown, got two grandsons.
I've been home four days in all of 22, 2022.
And you've worked every other day.
No, I work seven days a week.
I don't run my clock out.
So I do about eight and a half and I've only taken off four days in 2022.
But again, work my tail off.
And I just wanted to thank you.
Listen, you and I are built the same way.
I'm wired to work.
I don't know why.
I don't like to take a lot of days off.
Now, interestingly, my kids are of two minds.
You know, one day I said, oh, maybe one of these days I'll have to think about retiring.
My son said, Dad, you can't retire.
And I go, why not?
And he goes, Dad, you're just going to die.
I'm like, gee, thanks for being so optimistic.
So on the one hand, they're like, no, but you do need to take a few extra days off, Dad.
You do.
You got to take more days off.
I like to see you.
And I'm like, to do what?
And I'm like, I'll take you out to lunch.
Then what am I supposed to do?
You don't want to hang out with me all day.
You'll get bored stiff.
And now, by the way, he's working like I used to work, and I'm loving it.
Keeps him out of trouble.
You are the embodiment of the American dream, Mike.
God bless you.
And I wish you all the success this year into your retirement, your dream home.
I hope it's everything you want.
I hope God grants you a long life so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor, my friend.
Thanks, Sean.
Appreciate it.
You bet.
800-941-Sean.
You want to be a part of the program?
You know, one of the things I tell people, why are you laughing?
I would never laugh at you.
No, you're full.
Now you're full of Adam Schriff.
I'm always laughing at you.
Okay.
So people talk about 40-hour work weeks, and I keep reading about America might go to a four-day work week.
And I'm like.
You know what I was just thinking when you were talking to that guy?
Well, when I was talking to him, what were you thinking?
Well, it was funny about him.
Oh, I could tell you a funny story about that when I checked in in Dallas.
It was pretty funny.
Guys, like, oh, let me guess where you're from.
I'm like, is it funny?
Are you being funny?
It's two o'clock in the morning.
There's no jokes right now.
Two o'clock.
You guys arrived at two o'clock in the morning.
Wow, it was like late.
We had gear, you know, because we show up early for the talent, you know, to make sure everything works.
I show up late.
I just show up for the show.
Yeah, you walk in, you stroll in, nice and rested.
Okay, that's so good.
