	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.
	Right now, we're to Sean Hannity Show.
	Thanks for being with us, 800-941 Sean.
	If you want to be a part of the program, well, you know, it's pretty fascinating news when everything that you thought you knew about COVID, everything the government told you about COVID, if you get the shot, you're not going to get coronavirus.
	That turned out not to be true.
	If you wear a mask, you're protecting yourself and other people.
	And if you don't want to wear a mask, you're putting other people's lives in jeopardy.
	Then it was, it has nothing to do with the Wuhan Virology Lab, which was known for its gain of function research and their research of coronaviruses.
	No, it has nothing to do with that.
	It has to do with wet markets in Wuhan province in China.
	And anybody that tells you anything else or anything differently is just lying to you.
	We now know that the lab leak most likely was, in fact, the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.
	We now know that masks and shutdowns and everything that the government implemented ended up being the wrong decisions and had very little to no impact on stopping the spread of COVID-19.
	We know the one thing that was working, which was therapeutics like monoclonal antibodies.
	The government has stopped emergency authorization use and the only therapeutic that remains is Paxlovid, which has a 20 to 25% rebound rate in terms of people that take it.
	It does prevent hospitalization in most cases.
	It does prevent death in most cases.
	But then six days after you stop taking it, many people, at least close to 25% of people, end up getting a positive COVID test again.
	I mean, it just, you can't make up how bad they have been and how wrong they have been on so many issues involving this virus.
	You know, let's go back in time and all the media experts suggesting the Wuhan lab leak theory was nothing but a conspiracy theory.
	Although the answers are still not certain, it seems likely the coronavirus originated in bats.
	Is very, very strongly leaning towards this.
	Could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated.
	There is a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan.
	Does our reporting back up that there is significant evidence of this?
	I was surprised to hear Pompeo say this today.
	One of Trump World's most favorite conspiracy theories.
	New York Times reports this: quote, senior Trump administration officials have pushed American spy agencies to hunt for evidence to support an unsubstantiated theory that a government lab in Wuhan, China was the origin of the coronavirus outbreak.
	In terms of this particular claim that the virus was leaked from a Wuhan lab, this has been disputed by many experts and scientists from around the world.
	Wow.
	Pretty amazing how wrong they were.
	Now, in Fauci, in particular, I take issue with because we know that NIH money went to the EcoHealth Alliance that went directly to the Wuhan Virology Lab.
	I mean, and Fauci so adamantly saying that it's likely coming from wet markets.
	And then, of course, the media went out there.
	They were mocking President Trump for the Wuhan lab leak theory.
	When in fact, now we now believe that all of what we said and suspected turns out to be true.
	The best evidence suggests that the kind of bat from which this virus jumped to humans wasn't even present there.
	But you know the worst of it, whether it came from the lab or came from the bats or came, it all came from China.
	Because we don't know where the novel coronavirus came from yet, the conspiracy theories fill the void.
	I'm telling you, the Chi Coms are trying to weaponize this thing.
	Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh with zero proof suggesting a Chinese bioweapon lab is to blame.
	This question about the Wuhan lab, we know that it's been debunked.
	Those same agencies now have been tapped with investigating one of Trump World's most favorite conspiracy theories.
	This week, Donald Trump is still pushing the debunked bunkum, despite his own intelligence community's findings that that is simply not true.
	And there is simply no reason to believe that that is the case.
	There is no empirical evidence to verify that.
	There are virus hunters out there that have looked at what's the most likely cause, and there's no debate here.
	Among serious people, there is no debate.
	This was most likely what we call a zoonotic disease.
	It went from animal to human, likely in a market in Wuhan.
	It's not uncommon.
	He can't just sit back and let the doctors and the scientists do their jobs.
	He's got to chime in.
	He may pick up the conspiracy theory that this was some weapon.
	People don't keep bats in captivity.
	It's a complete baloney.
	We don't need to invoke conspiracy theories.
	This is just another example of the president trying to change the narrative from his own failings.
	The problem for President Trump is that he's running for reelection, is looking for ways to deflect blame for the performance of the administration.
	All right, joining us now is Alabama Senator Tommy Tubberville is with us.
	Senator, welcome back to the program.
	Great to have you.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm doing great, Sean.
	What a mess we're in, right?
	Man, that's an understatement.
	Oh, well, I've been here two years, Sean.
	I've never seen anything like it.
	The corrupt people up here, this administration.
	You know, if you look at all this, Sean, about the coronavirus that President Trump, he called it China virus, which is exactly what it was.
	It was a power grab.
	These people got caught with their hand in a cookie jar funding the WHO and funding these biolabs.
	A lot of the money came from the American taxpayers unknowingly.
	And this was a giant cover-up.
	And Sean, this thing killed 15 million people.
	And we've got a president that's compromised.
	He won't even address the president of China about this.
	He's talked to him, I guess.
	He says a couple of times on the phone, but has never said, hey, what is going on over there?
	We do not want this to happen again.
	It is an absolute joke, this administration.
	Well, the reality is, I mean, you said something pretty deeply profound, and that is that the American taxpayer, it seems, funded in part the creation of this virus that, as you rightly point out, killed millions of people worldwide.
	I don't know what the number is now in America, but it was, you know, well over a million, two, or three last time I looked.
	And we still have people getting sick and some still even dying today.
	And there's, you know, next to nothing in terms of therapeutics available as they stop the emergency authorization of monoclonal antibodies.
	I'm not a doctor, but that seemed to be the one therapeutic that worked.
	I'm on the Health Education Committee and sat with Rand Paul and listened to his interrogation of Dr. Fauci for two years.
	He ran circles around him.
	He never, you know, of course, Dr. Fauci was never going to admit to anything, but the game of functional research was obviously, you know, pushed by us and the people in the background.
	And this thing came out and nobody was going to take credit for it.
	And they wouldn't, you know, we told them the masks didn't work.
	We told them that all the things around that they were trying to do, the lockdowns, everything, you're killing our kids.
	You're doing things that you don't need to be doing.
	But they were not going to let up on it because Sean, this group up here, if they don't have the power, they don't care what happens.
	They just have to have the power, you know, to push the American people a certain direction.
	Well, I mean, that's a big part of it, isn't it?
	And the cover-up aspect of it is when the American people didn't know that their tax dollars were going to the NIH, funneled through the EcoHealth Alliance into a Wuhan virology lab.
	Now, just on principle, Senator, maybe I'm a little old-fashioned.
	China is our number one geopolitical foe.
	And why we would be sending any money at all to China for anything other than maybe something we want to purchase seems like insanity to me.
	Exactly.
	Why would we be doing that?
	And again, I think it all started with the WHO and Fauci's connection with them.
	If we had decent journalists in this country, this would have already been uncovered.
	Of course, the left that controls most of the so-called journalism, which to me is mostly opinionated, if they would do their due diligence and done their job, this thing would have been uncovered a long time ago.
	But again, the White House is compromised.
	Again, when we won't push back on China, when they are our biggest adversary, they're passing us daily on everything that they do, but we won't push back.
	It just shows you how this administration is basically says, hey, we don't want to get in their way because they know something that we don't want to be known.
	Did you ever think in your lifetime that a known Chinese spy balloon would fly over Alaska airspace down the western coast to Canada into Idaho, then across the U.S. over our ICBM missile silos in Montana and then down to Missouri and Kansas and up to Kentucky and over the Carolinas and then finally get shot down after they got all the intelligence they were looking for.
	And then as an overreaction, $400,000 Sidewinder missiles are used to shoot down unidentified objects.
	To this day, they're unidentified.
	One might apparently have been a balloon club balloon, you know, worth less than $125.
	We spent $400,000 to shoot that out of the sky.
	And we missed it the first time, Sean.
	It took two missiles to get it.
	Every day, there's another Something that happens that's absolutely, you can't believe that it's happening.
	And of course, we knew when it left China, it went down towards Hawaii, got close enough to, I guess, to do the surveillance on Hawaii, then it turned north and went to Alaska.
	It should have been dropped at that moment.
	At least call the president, call his Xi Ping and say, listen, you got 30 minutes.
	We better know what that is or it's coming down.
	Nobody communicated with anybody.
	It just goes all the way across the country.
	These people, they're always one step behind.
	And again, it looks like they're on the other side of everything that they do.
	All right, quick break with them right back.
	We're with Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville's with us.
	So I've been telling you for years how MyPillow has changed my life.
	These products help me fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer.
	They simply work.
	And just when you thought you couldn't do better than your very own MyPillow, they now launched after 20 years, MyPillow 2.0.
	And it has everything you'd ever want in a pillow, except now better.
	It still has their patented adjustable fill that was in the original MyPillow, but they've now added a brand new exclusive fabric made with temperature regulating threads.
	And the MyPillow 2.0 is the softest, the smoothest, the coolest pillow you're ever going to know.
	It means like in the middle of the night, you don't toss and turn and flip your pillow over because you want the cool side of the pillow.
	Anyway, right now, if you go to mypillow.com, click on the Sean Hannity Square.
	If you buy one MyPillow 2.0, you get another one absolutely free.
	Or you can call and mention my name, 800-919-6090.
	And MyPillow 2.0 made with the temperature regulating technology.
	It's 100% made in the U.S., 10-year warranty, 60-day unconditional money-back guarantee.
	And when that MyPillow 2.0 arrives, all the sleep you've been wanting and needing and craving and desiring and deserving will be yours.
	MyPillow.com, Sean Hannity Square.
	Coast to coast, border to borders.
	Sean Hannity is on the radio right now.
	All right, we continue with Senator Tommy Tuberville of the great state of Alabama.
	You have a bill that you've put forward.
	You're addressing the issue of the military apparently now funding the travel of anybody in the military that wants to get an abortion.
	Has the military, in your view, become woke?
	Are we focused on military readiness with a country like China?
	Are we giving too much in terms of money and arms to Ukraine when the bulk of that money should be coming from Western Europe?
	Is Biden really trying to win the war considering he keeps vetoing any European country from giving fighter jets to Zelensky to fight the war against Putin?
	Sean, ever since Roe Aid was handed down from the Supreme Court saying that, hey, we're going to let it go back to the states, let the voters decide on what they want instead of a bunch of judges, which was the right thing to do.
	Of course, the left panicked and they had everybody believing that abortion was over.
	It was decided by the Supreme Court, which bad advertising.
	But at the end of the day, yes, our military is woke.
	They're teaching it to our military personnel are recruiting his way down.
	Why in the world would you want to get into a military that has to go through protocols like they're going through now, other than building a machine that protects this country and protects this world?
	Look how many of our brave servicemen and women either didn't sign up or didn't want to get the vaccine, and they were thrown out of the military.
	And then now the government is going after any bonuses they might have received at the time.
	Yeah, power, control, anything to show that they've got control over the American people.
	But as you said, the abortion, I put a block on all the promotions of the flag officers and civilians that nominees.
	Now, as a senator, you can put a hold on anybody that's nominated, and it's hard for them to get it through.
	I told them back in when I first got this briefing of what they're going to do.
	It took forever to get a briefing from the Department of Defense.
	And finally, they gave us a briefing right before Christmas, and they said, yeah, we're going to change the policy that we've had for years and years, which was rape, incest, and harm to the mom, which is fine.
	And that's been a great rule for the military.
	They've averaged 20-a-year abortions.
	But they said, no, no, we're going to change this, and we're going to make sure that every military person has an opportunity for an abortion at any time on the taxpayers' expense.
	We're going to apply them anywhere they want to go.
	Not just them, though, Sean, but also their dependents.
	And so we did a third-party survey of it, and we're going to go from 20 a year to around $4,000 to $5,000 a year.
	And it's absolutely insane.
	And so anything they can do that they think they can circumvent Congress.
	So I sent a letter to Secretary Austin and said, listen, the last time I looked, you didn't run for Congress.
	You were appointed, not elected.
	You don't get to change the laws.
	And, of course, they're not a fan of mine.
	I'm not a fan of theirs.
	And it's just one thing after another, whether it's health care, whether it's military, whether it's the economy, they tend to want to just, whether it works or not, they're going to screw it up.
	And the border, my God, what a mess.
	Your state, the state of Alabama, is the only state that mandates that an individual voting has to hand in their own pallet.
	Did you know that last question?
	I have about 15 seconds.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I knew that in, you know, this ballot harvesting, it's a mess, but we've got to get control of what's going on in this country.
	But I appreciate you letting me be in on, Sean.
	This country is in bad trouble, and we've got the animals running the zoo.
	So thank you.
	Well, you just don't change in the swamp.
	It has this ability to change people into new creatures that are swamp creatures.
	Don't let it happen to you.
	I don't think you're capable of it.
	Anyway, Senator Tommy Tubberville, great state of Alabama.
	Thank you, my friend.
	Thank you, Sean.

	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.
	It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
	Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
	Bad faith political warfare and, frankly, bullshit.
	We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
	You put two and two together.
	Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
	Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

	800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Even the Washington Post reviewed every possible regulation change in terms of railways under Donald Trump and found that none of them contributed to the Palestine, Ohio train derailment.
	The liberal talking point even shattered by the lying Washington Post.
	Amazing moment.
	We'll get to that in a second.
	Now, look, if you're in the market for a new firearm, you're not going to do better than one made by our friends at Henry Repeating Arms.
	I love this company.
	And if you're looking for something light, easy, simple to transport, well, they've got you covered with a U.S. survival rifle.
	Now you can take it apart, put it back together in mere seconds when you need to.
	The parts fit right into its stock, so it's easy to stow in your car, your truck.
	It's compact, so you can carry it pretty much everywhere.
	It's only three and a half pounds, 16 inches when disassembled.
	It comes in black and three types of camo.
	It's a really awesome-looking firearm, and it's very affordable.
	You can pick one up anywhere between $250 to $400, depending on the finish that you like.
	Anyway, like all Henry firearms, it's made in America or it's not made at all.
	It's backed by their lifetime satisfaction guarantee.
	If you want to see a few of their videos, go to their website, henryusa.com/slash survival.
	And when you're there, make sure you get your free catalog and decals and a list of dealers where you are.
	And you're going to love this American-made firearm.
	They have over 200 models to choose from.
	You can't go wrong with any one of them.
	Go to henryusa.com, get your free catalog, your free decals, and a list of dealers where you are.
	So the Washington Post of all places has done a review because if you've been following East Palestine, now things there are getting worse than ever.
	Just for the record here, you know, Biden was asked, by the way, if he planned on going to East Palestine, no, not at this moment.
	Why not?
	Why wouldn't he go there?
	I mean, and even when Mayor Pothole Pete went there, it was a waste of time.
	But, you know, watching Biden scoff at East Palestine and the mayor who claimed that he didn't care about his town and preferred to go to Ukraine instead, I think it was a bad decision.
	He could have gone to East Palestine first and then gone to Ukraine if he really felt the need to do both, but he's not going.
	And Biden then seems confused in a pretty bizarre exchange, trying to explain why he hasn't visited East Palestine weeks after this devastating train derailment.
	What we're learning is the contamination seems to be far worse than originally thought.
	They're talking about anywhere of upwards of 50,000 fish that are now dead in the waters and streams of East Palestine, heading into Pennsylvania.
	We don't know what the real air quality is.
	We have toxic air pollutants, you know, could pose a long-term risk, according to researchers.
	Analysis by Texas AM University researchers stands in contrast to statements made by federal and state regulators that the air near the crash site is completely safe.
	It didn't make sense to me when they said it the first time.
	You know, it's just like Christy Todd Whitman telling everybody things were safe at ground zero.
	They were anything but safe at ground zero.
	But now the contamination fears spread beyond East Palestine and concerns now ranging from bottled water in Columbus to wastewater disposal in Houston.
	I mean, that's how big the impact of all of this is.
	You know, Aaron Brockovich actually said Friday that Biden and his administration were trying to hide something from the people of East Palestine, and they're not going to get away with it because the evidence is apparent and you're not going to gaslight me.
	You know, pretty powerful interview that she gave last Friday on Fox.
	Anyway, the EPA has ordered a pause of derailment-contaminated waste removal.
	I'm not really sure why.
	Federal agencies now are expected to check 400 homes by Monday.
	But the question is, who's going to trust any government official, especially, you know, after everything we learned about how wrong they were on COVID?
	Well, anyway, the Washington Post finally did a decent amount of good work, and they looked at all the regulatory changes that were passed by the Trump administration, and they found that not a single one of them could be shown to have contributed to this accident on February 3rd in East Palestine.
	But listen to the media mob.
	I don't know why they would ever vote on him because there's somebody in a school who, by the way, he placed someone with deep ties to the chemical industry in charge of the EPA's chemical safety office.
	That's who you voted for in that district.
	Donald Trump, who reduces all safety.
	He did.
	But it was him.
	It was Donald Trump and his administration who gave the rail industry in Norfolk Southern exactly what they wanted.
	Fewer and looser rules around rail safety.
	You mentioned a national political figure who's decided to get involved.
	It sounds like you're talking about Trump.
	And then you said, I need your help.
	How can he help?
	Well, one thing he could do is express support for reversing the deregulation that happened on his watch.
	Oh, okay.
	So Mayor Pothole Pete is just simply outright lying.
	But does any of this surprise you?
	You know, does it really, really surprise you that the CDC and their position on masks during COVID and all the twists and turns?
	And remember the first interview that Fauci gave, oh, masks don't work.
	They may stop one little droplet, but they're not going to work.
	Now the Biden Energy Department finding on the Wuhan lab confirming that what Trump had been saying all along and what all of us have believed from the very beginning, everybody knew that gain of function research was taking place at the Wuhan Virology Lab.
	It was widely known.
	Coronavirus research was taking place at the Wuhan Virology Lab.
	And the reason that Anthony Fauci was so panicked in these frenetic emails going back and forth in early January of 2020 and for the year beyond and why he went along with his wet market lie theory,
	which was their theory, is because we now know that NIH money, in other words, your tax dollars, were being funneled through the EcoHealth Alliance and the EcoHealth Alliance, in fact, funded in part the Wuhan Virology Lab.
	Why would America be funding a gain of function coronavirus research lab in Wuhan province in China?
	Makes no sense at all whatsoever.
	Marie is in Georgia.
	Marie, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Mr. Hannah, thanks so much for taking my call.
	My husband and I are longtime listeners and I'm a veteran and he's still serving in.
	Well, thank you for your service also.
	Glad you called.
	Yeah, I just wanted to call about the COVID-19 vaccine mandate that's still in effect for the military, even though the SECDAF signed it on January 10th.
	They have no plans to remove the mandate and reverse it at all.
	Well, they're losing some of the best and brightest in our military in the process and creating at the worst possible moment historically a vulnerability in terms of our military preparedness.
	Exactly.
	And so my nephew just tried joining the Coast Guard and they told him when he went to the military entrance processing that he still has to get the COVID-19 vaccine to join.
	So they have no plans to lift it.
	It was a complete publicity stunt.
	Then if that's the case, you know, and he feels strongly about it, my advice to him is for him to follow his conscience.
	Here's the sad part is, you know, people, is this your son or your nephew, you said?
	Yeah, my nephew, and then my husband's still in, and he's one of the ones that was for the religious exemptions since September 2021.
	And he can't even retire.
	They won't let them.
	Yeah, because they don't have enough people to fill a spot.
	And they're making it harder for people.
	Look, if they don't want people like your nephew, then we as a country, you know, it's almost like we're unilaterally disarming the way we have economically unilaterally disarmed by giving up domestic production of energy, oil, gas, and coal.
	I mean, it's the same exact thing.
	And we're doing it at a time where the territorial ambitions of our number one geopolitical foe, China, our number two geopolitical foe, Russia, are in full force.
	You know, I'm watching Biden saying, yeah, this war could continue for years, but no, I'm not going to approve the use of fighter jets donated by Western European countries so that there can be some parity in terms of firepower from the air because Putin has almost his entire air force there.
	Yeah.
	And the thing is, it's extremely easy for them to put the COVID reversal into effect, but the Human Resources Command that's in charge of putting out what's called a MILPR message, where the units and the chains of commands can actually implement it, they won't put the code out.
	And it's the only thing that's preventing thousands, tens of thousands of service members to be able to move duty stations, to be promoted, to be deployed, even retire or get out is a code on their personnel record.
	And they won't lift it.
	This is between the military now going woke, the vaccine mandate issue, which is preventing good people from signing up.
	They are missing their enlistment goals month after month after month.
	And the world couldn't be more unstable than it is right now, in large part because our enemies see Joe Biden as weak and ineffective.
	I mean, when Vladimir Putin hears Joe Biden say that Ukraine can't have fighter jets, that is interpreted as nothing but weakness.
	That is interpreted as, okay, we only have to worry about a ground war, but we can control the skies over Ukraine as much as we want.
	And that's a very, very dangerous scenario to put Ukraine in.
	But for me, you know, as much as I would like the evil of Vladimir Putin stopped right in its tracks, it tells me that they're not committed to actually winning the conflict.
	If you're going to engage militarily with an enemy, in the case of Trump, it was ISIS and the Caliphate, in a way that you plan to win the war, then don't get us involved.
	Anyway, Marie, I'm glad you called.
	I'm so sorry this is happening to you and your family.
	We appreciate you being with us.
	All right, quick break.
	We'll come right back: 800-941-Sean.
	Our number, if you want to be a part of the program, at the top of the hour, we'll check in with our media guru, Joe Concha, will join us.
	And we got a lot to talk about with him.
	Biden did not have a particularly good interview with David Muir over at ABC News.
	That's straight ahead.
	Final hour roundup is next.
	You do not want to miss it.
	And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
	All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
	Let's say hi to Davis is in Georgia.
	Davis, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Hi, Sean.
	Thank you so much.
	We love you here in Georgia.
	We thank you for everything you stand for on a daily basis.
	Thank you.
	Well, thank you for being with us.
	Thanks.
	I am calling.
	I have a concern about the East Palestinian Ohio derailment, the chemicals.
	I would just like to say I'm a nurse.
	I've worked with cancer patients at Mayo Clinic, and I've had cancer myself.
	I am very worried about the people who live in that area, mainly because of the president's administration, their slow response.
	Yes, it's great that the CDC, the EPA, and Erin Brockovich is, you know, that she did make an appearance.
	All that is great.
	But what we would like to say, as citizens of this country, to the president, you are moving too slowly, Mr. President, to the catastrophes and tragedies.
	And yes, this was a so-called accident.
	The investigations are still ongoing.
	But we want to just point out maybe that with the failure of your planning for the safety and removal of the citizens and the troops out of Afghanistan, we ask you, Mr. President, to please learn from that mistake with a failure to plan and do not treat the people of Ohio with that same type of apathy.
	Those people need to be taken care of.
	Yes, the railroad needs to be held accountable.
	Take care of them, but we're just asking for more support and a faster response.
	Yes, this is in your own backyard, Mr. President.
	We appreciate what you're doing in Ukraine, even though those responses are slow.
	We need to support them.
	But I think the citizens who elected you and the citizens who did not elect you are crying out for help.
	Here's where I stand on this.
	They're now trying to tell the people of East Palestine that everything's okay.
	They're beginning that process now.
	Now, this is the same government that told you you'd be able to keep your doctor, keep your plan, and save money, none of which was true.
	This is the same government after 9-11 that said that if you're working in the recovery and rebuilding efforts down to ground zero, that the air was safe.
	That turned out not to be true.
	This is the same government that said that if you got a vaccine, that you would never get COVID.
	That turned out not to be true.
	The same government that said, wear a mask and you greatly reduce the potential for getting COVID.
	That turned out not to be true.
	The same government, you know, just staying on the COVID issue for a second, that went out there and lied to us and said, oh, this virus likely came from one of these wet markets where they sell bats and other exotic animals for people to eat.
	That turned out not to be true.
	So it doesn't matter to me what they say.
	It's a matter.
	I want an independent group that is really only concerned is the health of the people of East Palestine.
	I want them to tell us the water is safe or not safe.
	The air is safe or it's not safe.
	And this way we can prevent people from going back too early and developing diseases years from now and then saying, oops, we screwed up again.
	That's my admonition.
	I don't trust them.
	I will never trust the government on any health issue again.
	They have earned all of my distrust.
	I feel bad for the people of East Palestine.
	I really do, because they don't know what to do, and it's not like they have enough money to move to another town.
	You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?

	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?
