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.
All right, thank you.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program coming to you from beautiful Nashville, Tennessee, the home of tonight's Patriot Awards.
We're doing a live Hannity at, where are we at tonight?
The Grand Old Opry, which is pretty exciting for me.
The history behind that is unbelievable.
And I get to stand on that ground where every great, the exact, it's what kind of wood is it?
It's sacred groundwood.
Sacred groundwood.
You're welcome.
All right.
I'm going to start with a serious note.
I cannot believe the times that we are living in.
My buddy Giano Caldwell is here.
We're going to talk to him in a minute.
I can't believe the times we're living in.
Blinking, winking blinking, has a fit and like is wincing away like a little baby because Joe Biden called President Chi what he is, and that's a dictator.
Well, why didn't he just applaud and say, yeah, I agree with him.
He's a dictator.
And you know what?
China's doing this.
They're spending this as the biggest win, as I told you they would do.
And of course, as I promised, Joe was pretty much incoherent as this meeting was going forward.
They've been begging and sucking up for this meeting for a year, but they don't bring up COVID.
They don't bring up intellectual property theft.
They don't bring up, let's see, unfair trade practices.
They don't bring up the spy balloon, which is insane.
They don't bring up that all of these Chinese nationals are making their way to our southern border.
And then when they get in here, we're allowing them stupidly to buy up thousands and thousands of acres of farmland and ranch land and land near military installations.
We don't do a thing when their fighter jets are confronting our fighter jets in international airspace.
We don't do a thing when our Navy is being confronted in international waterways by the Chinese.
We don't do a thing when they continue to fly their fighter jets and try and intimidate our ally, Taiwan.
We don't do a thing.
And so what does Joe do?
He says, oh, we'll make a deal.
We won't use artificial intelligence and future weapon making.
How stupid is it?
Is he even calling the shots?
I can't answer that question.
Now, just when you think that's bad enough, and we got other bad news here, China blasting Biden right after this for calling President Qi a dictator.
What do you call him then?
He's a murdering thug dictator.
By the way, has anybody heard of the Uyghurs, the oppressed minorities that are in China, that are being used for slave labor, modern-day slave labor?
Does anyone pay attention to that atrocity that's unfolding?
Or the fact that they have now formed an alliance with Putin and Russia, that they have formed an alliance with the Mullahs in Iran.
Am I like the only one paying attention to this?
By the way, sad news, laptops recovered from Gaza's largest hospital.
The Israelis were right.
They found weapons.
They found, they know that there were hostages below the hospitals in Gaza.
The media mob, the same media mob that lied and told everybody in the world, taking nothing but Hamas propaganda, that Israel bombed a hospital, killed 500 innocent doctors and nurses and children.
It never happened.
The hospital is still standing.
And by the way, the only thing that got hit was a parking lot that had like six cars in it, and only two of them got damaged.
And that was fired by the Islamic Jihad.
There is moral clarity.
There is right.
There is wrong.
And there are moments when there's no ambiguity.
The victim here is Israel.
You don't terrorism.
Oh, can you take a pause in your war?
You know, they need a little time to regroup and rearm and re-strategize.
Excuse me.
That's like I'm going to be in the middle of a fistfight with somebody.
Do you mind if we take a pause?
You're kicking my ass.
And I'd really like to have an opportunity to regroup, get my bearings.
And while I'm getting my bearings, you just sit there till I'm ready to punch you again.
I'm like, no, I'm going to kick your ass and the fight's going to be won.
Then we can have a truce after I win the fight.
And it's so stupid.
Another squad member, by the way, is now out there lecturing the Jews on what it means to be Jewish.
You can't make this up.
This Congressman Jamal Bowman, isn't he the guy that did the fire alarm thing?
What a jackass.
I didn't know what I was pulling.
It says, fire, you know, sorry, you know, here we go.
Oh, so we found out under the hospital, that was where one of Gaza, I'm sorry, one of Hamas's headquarters was put.
So they were using, as they always have, doctors, nurses, hospitals as human shields, all the rockets, the tens and tens of thousands of them that they've been firing into Israel all these years.
They've always used schools.
They've always used hospitals.
They've always used areas knowing that the Israelis care too much about innocent human life, that they don't want collateral damage.
By the way, Al Jazeera pulled the plug on an interview after a Gaza hospital patient revealed that Hamas fighters were hiding among the wounded.
I mean, how does Israel fight this war when they got their hands tied behind their back?
And then you got Joe Biden telling them to take a pause.
It's pretty unbelievable.
Now, I want to get to this other point that I wanted to make here.
So I just, there's certain things in life I just can't, it's inexplicable.
I don't have an explanation.
I don't have understanding.
You know, this hatred of one group of people, I was raised a Christian.
I believe God created every man, woman, and child.
The only difference is that every human being has choices, and we have a propensity for good or evil in our lives based on the choices that we make.
Period end of center end of sentence.
So the same pro-Hamas anti-Israeli movement that has trapped and terrorized even members of Congress last night, if you saw that at the DNC last night, they have adopted a letter written by 9-11 terrorist mastermind, Osama bin Laden, as a rationale for their hostility to Israel and America.
Now, it's always been Prime Minister Netanyahu.
I've been friends with him for decades.
He's always talked about the little Satan.
That, of course, is Israel.
But the great Satan they view as America.
And there was a reason.
The one thing that the 9-11 Commission report got right is they were at war with us.
We were not at war with them.
And anyway, so all of a sudden, a vile letter written by, anyway, they've adopted a letter written by bin Laden as a rationale here.
And this letter, vile letter written by the warlord behind the 9-11 atrocities, we lost 2,977 Americans in a single day.
If you compare for population, the Israelis lost on October 7th the equivalent of 38,000 or 40,000 Americans in a single day.
Anyway, this has now gone viral on TikTok with users, if you can believe it, saying that reading bin Laden's letter has led them to, quote, understanding why the horrific attacks were carried out in 2001.
And bin Laden wrote this letter to America.
I've got a full copy of it.
The big part of me that doesn't want to read it, I'll read you some of it.
And then I'm going to play some of what's being said on TikTok.
In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful, permission to fight against disbelievers is given to those believers who are fought against because they have been wronged and surely Allah is able to give them believers victory.
And he cites the Quran.
Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah.
Those who disbelieve fight in the cause of what they call taggat, anything worshipped other than Allah, they view as Satan.
And goes on to say, so you fight against the friends of Satan, ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan.
And he cites the Quran again.
Some American writers have published articles under the title of, quote, on what basis are we fighting?
These articles have generated a number of responses, some of which adhered to the truth and were based on Islamic law, others which have not been.
And here, we wanted to outline the truth as an explanation and a warning, hoping for Allah's reward, seeking success and support from him.
While seeking Allah's help, we form our reply based on two questions directed at Americans.
Why are we fighting and opposing you?
And what are we calling you to?
And what do we want from you?
For the first question, why are we fighting and opposing you?
The answer is very simple.
Because you attacked us and continue to attack us, which is a load of crap.
America standing against radical Islamic terrorists that kill innocent men, women, and children that have a belief of convert or die, that have no qualms about killing innocents, that actually brainwash and indoctrinate young people into,
quote, martyrdom, and that if they kill innocent men, women, and children, especially Jews and Americans, that Allah above in paradise will reward them with 72 virgins.
That is what they are brainwashed about.
And then it goes on, you attacked us in Palestine.
Look, I don't really want to give any more attention to bin Laden.
You know what?
I'm pretty confident he's in hell where he belongs.
I'm not Jesus, so I don't know.
But if I had to guess, he's in hell where he belongs.
But here's the dangerous part.
And we've talked about all the virulent anti-Semitism in the halls of Congress and all around the globe.
And in Australia, gas the Jews and F the Jews on the college campuses, the most prestigious universities in America.
And it's sickening the level of hatred.
I never thought it's like 1930s all over again.
And I never used that analogy in my entire career.
Let me play for you the TikTokers praising Bin Laden's 9-11 letter to America.
This morning I read Letter to America, which is Osama bin Laden's letter to America explaining why he attacked Americans.
It's wild, and everyone should read it.
If you haven't read it yet, read it.
However, be forewarned that this has left me very disillusioned, and I feel the same exact way I felt when I was deconstructing Christianity.
I feel a little bit just confused, like I have entered into another timeline.
What is this?
So I just read a letter to America, and I will never look at life the same.
I will never look at this country the same.
I will never.
Please read it.
And if you have read it, let me know if you are also going through an existential crisis in this very moment.
Because in the last 20 minutes, my entire viewpoint on the entire life I have believed and have lived has changed.
I feel like I'm going through like an existential crisis right now.
So this is a really good example of narrative control.
Reading this letter, it becomes apparent to me that the actions of 9-11 and those acts committed against the USA and its people were all just the buildup of our government failing other nations.
America has never been at war with people in the Muslim faith.
And I'm going to be very clear.
And I've always made a distinction between Islam and radical Islamists.
There are things in the Quran that I find deeply disturbing about not taking Christians nor Jews as your friends, etc.
The call for holy war, etc.
No, that bothers me.
And however, I do believe in the concept of freedom of religion.
I've never liked the anti-Semitism and outright racism of guys like Louis Farrakhan.
I think he's been nothing but a divisive figure.
One of the most interesting moments I've ever had on radio happened somewhere between 1990 and 92 when I was 60, when I was 90 minutes south of where I am today in Nashville, Tennessee.
I was in the town called Athens, Alabama for a Huntsville, Alabama radio station, a talk radio station.
And one Saturday, remember Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, kill the women, kill the babies, kill the children, kill them all.
Kill the people who are gay, a derogative term.
Kill them all.
But you say, don't kill the babies.
You got to kill the babies.
And I mean, he said all this crazy stuff.
He was so full of rage, this guy.
Three hours he stayed in my studio that day.
Three hours.
Couldn't believe it.
And we went back.
I wish I had a tape of it.
I don't even have a tape of it.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean, we're in beautiful Nashville, Tennessee.
We're here for the Fox Patriot Awards tonight.
By the way, my buddy Giano Caldwell is in the house.
He just stopped by the studio, which we're really excited about.
We're going to talk to him in a minute.
We got a great show for you as well.

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.
I'm Leon Nafak from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.

All right, as we continue, 800-941 Sean, our number, my buddy Giano Caldwell just stepped in.
How you doing, man?
Man, I'm glad to be here with you in Nashville.
Sean, and Music City, USA.
We're at the Patriot Awards for Fox.
I never get to see you.
Yes.
We talk all the time.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
You know, we'll talk a little bit about this on the other side of the break, but if you don't remember or don't know Giano's story, his brother in Chicago, your younger brother, innocent, gunned down, all the names that are unknown, names I've scrolled on TV starting in 2009.
And nobody ever knows those names.
Why?
Because they don't have a famous brother like you, in the case of you and your brother.
And B, is if they can't politicize it and use it as a weapon, why bother?
Who cares?
B is ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Yeah.
And I'm telling you, really?
Doesn't every life matter?
I think so.
It should.
It should, but it doesn't.
That's right.
We'll continue.
When news breaks, you get the inside story that no one else has.
And the behind-the-scenes chatter that the mainstream media doesn't even know about.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Hi, 25 to the top of the hour.
We are in beautiful Nashville, Tennessee, Music City, USA, for the Fox Patriot Awards that will take place tonight.
We're doing our show regular time, 9 Eastern, with an audience in Nashville.
In other words, more normal people in Nashville and smarter people than those that live in heavy tax states like New York and New Joise and California and Illinois and all the states in between.
Listen, I want to remind you of this before we get back to the news of the day.
My buddy Gianno Caldwell is here from Fox.
Look, families and friends, you're going to be gathering for the holidays.
I've got the gift, one gift that you can give every family member that they will forever love you for, and that is the gift of family memories.
And I'm talking about Legacy Box.
Write this down.
It's simple.
Legacybox.com slash Hannity.
Write that down.
Now, what they do is they digitize all of your pictures.
For example, Legacy Box can digitize 15 different types of analog media, whether it's VHS tapes, super 8 millimeter film reels, if you have those.
If you only have photo negatives, guess what?
They can bring them back to life as well.
They've got you covered on everything.
They do it all by hand.
They do it here in the U.S.
And right now, you can get early access to the best sale they have of the year.
And you can digitize your tapes for as low as $9 a tape.
Now, think about this.
So you go to your basement, you go to your attic, you go to your closets, you go to your garage, you find all the family photos, all the family videos.
You contact legacybox.com slash Hannity, and you just pile it in the box.
You'll get back your originals, and then you'll get back either on the cloud, a DVD, you know, thumb drive, whatever you want, or many, or get all three.
And you get to give it to every family member.
Now, how cool is this, that generations from now, your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren will know what you look like and what you sound like.
How cool would it be if you had tapes of grandma and grandpa that passed away and you get to hear their voices again and see them again?
Or maybe your mom and dad that passed away.
How cool is that?
It's the greatest idea.
I wish I thought of this company.
If I did, well, they now have millions of customers.
I said from the first day, I said, I want to invest.
I said, sorry, only family.
I said, I'm family.
Go now, family together.
Didn't work.
Anyway, it's a great gift, great memory.
Go to legacybox.com/slash Hannity.
It's their biggest sale of the year: nine bucks a tape, 60% off.
And I promise you, you'll be glad you did.
All right, my buddy Gianno Calwell.
What's up, my friend?
Welcome to the Patriot Awards.
Welcome to Nashville, sir.
Well, I'm so honored to be here.
And I got to tell you, it is always an extreme pleasure to be around so many of the viewers, the supporters, the fans.
But it's taken on a much different meaning for me after last year, June 24th, when my brother was murdered in Chicago.
So when I see the people here, and oftentimes they want to pray for me on the spot and tell me this.
By the way, isn't that the coolest thing when people do something like that?
I'm honored.
I'm humbled.
I'm blessed because these prayers have got me through some very difficult times.
You, my friend, have got me through many of these difficult times.
Our conversations, which a lot of people may not know, when my brother was murdered, you and I cultivated and developed our friendship.
And for some of that, I felt terrible for you.
But it was more than just that.
For months, you would call me multiple times a week and we would be on the phone for about an hour.
How are you doing?
How's your family doing?
What's going on with the investigation?
This is how you should handle this.
This is how you should consider this.
I mean, really big brotherly love, advice, and support.
By the way, when you say big brother, you're saying you're really old, Hannity.
Older than me.
I love you back.
Well, let me say something about you because I reminded you that, and most people don't know this, but it was inexplicable to me when Barack Obama became president and his hometown of Chicago.
And every weekend, you could predict, usually with some pinpoint accuracy, how many people are going to be shot, how many people will be shot and killed.
And it's like, and then I would start scrolling the names.
And I'd say to my audience on TV, I go, these are names I doubt you ever heard of.
Other nights, I would scroll the names of police officers killed in the line of duty, names Americans never, ever heard of.
And it infuriated me all those years.
He never wanted barely mentioned Chicago and the violence in Chicago.
Your brother did not have to die.
That's right.
If they would have taken action and done simple policing, they could keep that city safe and secure and put the people that killed your brother in jail.
And here's the worst part of what you've had to go through, and this is where my heart breaks for you as my friend.
And you're like my brother.
I feel that close to you.
Is you have been busting your ass, going to police departments, trying to get answers on who it is that was responsible.
You think you know who it is now.
Yes.
And going to the FBI, now going to congressional hearings, and they don't seem to care.
They don't care.
And they're like, oh, crap, here's Giano.
He's going to remind us that we're not doing a good job.
And to your credit, you're not just fighting for your brother.
You're fighting so that there are not other families that have to suffer the way you suffer.
Describe when you talk about your brother.
I want you to just, the way you always do, so eloquently, you talk about what he won't experience in his life.
I want you to tell this audience, what won't he experience in life?
My innocent teenage baby brother will never get married.
He'll never go to college, which he so desperately wanted to.
He will never have his first job.
He'll never have his first kid.
Those moments have been stolen from him.
And many others, whether they be in Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, anywhere across the country, we know that violent crime has been on the rise over and above the 2019 numbers.
And the truth of the matter is we have leadership in the White House and in a lot of these major cities who have made matters worse.
When you think about Chicago as an example, by the end of this year, which will be next month, we'll see almost 80,000 violent crime incidents in the city of Chicago.
Crime in and of itself overall up 60% by the end of this year over 2019.
Astounding numbers.
But yet and still, Sean, they passed something called the Safety Act, the cash bail, cashless bail.
That's what we have in the city of Chicago.
Basically, no bail.
No bail.
And then we have a no-chase policy where officers have to call into their supervisors in order to chase the suspect, meaning they just got away.
Or even if they're in their cars, they have to call it in.
This is insanity, Sean, what we see.
Add to that defund, dismantle.
That's right.
No bail laws.
And now they're saying, now you're saying they have a no-chase policy?
Yes, in the city of Chicago, there's a no-chase policy that was let the criminal get away, policy.
Literally, literally.
It was enacted under Lori Lightfoot, and Brandon Johnson is continuing it.
And then what's making matters worse in places like Chicago is the migrant crisis.
Yep.
For a lot of those individuals, they had parks and all kinds of things that they had for the young kids to try to keep them away from the violence.
And they've snatched that away to give people who just came in town a day or two or so an opportunity that these young people may actually lose their lives over.
Let me ask you this.
Why is it we only hear about certain cases?
I'll give you two quick examples.
George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin.
Okay, now I learned very early, and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
Hands up, don't you?
That's right.
Okay, never happened.
Yeah.
Never happened.
And you know how we know?
And I knew early that that didn't happen because it was one of my sources, very high-ranking source, told me early on that they had so many African-American, because they tried to make that about Michael Brown and race, and Darren Wilson happened to be a white officer.
And so many African-Americans that witnessed that testified that everything Darren Wilson said was true.
So I knew early on that that hands-up, no shoot nonsense was never going to fly.
Or Freddie Gray in Baltimore, I was told early on the facts.
I'm like, not one of those cops is going to get convicted.
Nobody really cared.
I actually spent time down in Florida with George Zimmerman, and I knew before everybody else knew that there was going to be an eyewitness that testified that Trayvon was doing a ground and pound on cement to George Zimmerman's head.
And at that point, the laws of Florida, you get to defend yourself.
Stand your ground.
Stand your ground.
Now, all of the, and then we have the George Floyd.
I would think I was the first person to say that the neck is the most vulnerable part of the human anatomy.
The guy was handcuffed.
You know, putting your knee on somebody's neck that is handcuffed and pushing it into asphalt to the point where there are abrasions on George Floyd's face.
The fact that he lasted as long as he did is miraculous because, you know, I do martial arts.
If I did that to you and I hit your carotid, you would drop to the ground.
You try and stand up and you'd fall down again.
And that's a, you know, one second, half a second shot.
Nobody can withstand that to the carotid artery.
And I was the first to say, this should not happen.
That cop, all he had to do was manipulate the guy's fingers that were handcuffed and you'd have full compliance.
I promise you, I can manipulate your fingers and do that.
Here's the worst part, though, to me.
You have talked to all of these.
You've talked to the FBI.
You talked to local police.
You've talked to the politicians.
You've testified before Congress.
You have done your part.
You've been on the media and you still are not getting this case solved.
Why?
You know, I think there's, to answer your first question, why do certain cases get that kind of exposure?
And oftentimes, it's because they can be weaponized politically.
That's simply put it.
You see, especially around election times, no matter who the Republican candidate is, they're a racist.
Point blank period.
That's it.
It doesn't matter who they are.
They can be Tim Scott.
He's a racist.
You know, that's exactly what they're saying.
By the way, he's been called that.
I know he has.
I know.
How nuts is that?
What do they call him?
Something in blackface or whatever the case may be.
So that's generally speaking why.
And it comes to my set of circumstances with my little brother.
Very unfortunately, from the very beginning, speaking with this detective, he basically told me because he was murdered on a Friday.
I spoke with him on that Sunday.
We got other cases that have come in since then.
This isn't essentially, in my view, important to us.
This isn't a priority.
We got this case and that case.
And then he got off the phone with me.
By the following week, he called me back because he said, hey, we saw you on last night with Sean Hannity.
We saw you on Fox and Friends this morning.
We saw you on Fox 32 Chicago yesterday.
Don't worry, we're on it.
And I felt a bit of solace because, wow, maybe after all of this hard work starting in politics when I was 14, this got me to a place where it matters.
Do you think that call would have come had you not been on TV?
No, absolutely not.
I don't know if I ever would have gotten a call back because weeks later, after saying, don't worry, we have it.
I couldn't get in touch with him until I went on TV and said they're not calling me back.
So fast forwarding beyond all of that and deciding after a year of inaction with the Chicago police that I need to call for the FBI to get involved, it still meant nothing.
I got a lot of press attention out of it.
I called them multiple times.
They didn't call me back.
I had FBI agents call in the Chicago field office.
Didn't help.
I've been doing a lobby campaign down in D.C. since the beginning of the year, since the first speaker fight, meeting with members of Congress.
Hey, can I take you to lunch?
Can I take you to dinner?
Because I want to talk to you about my brother.
I want the FBI to get involved.
I want a bipartisan letter asking for judiciary committees, Democrat and Republican, to sign up.
And you did testify.
And I testified in Chicago.
Before the House Judiciary Committee that went to Chicago.
That's right, the field hearing in Chicago.
And it wasn't until the congressional action chairmans of committee who decided to put in letters for the record for the FBI director that I finally get a call back and I got a call back from the special agent in charge of the Chicago field office.
Anything really happening, you think?
Well, I'm thankful that if he is calling me and we've had multiple calls since then, which is the special agent in charge of the Chicago Field Office is like the police chief of the region, if you will, for people who are.
Let me get this because I'm looking at my clock.
Do they feel that they know who this person or persons are?
I don't want you to give away too much information.
Right.
There's someone currently in custody and there was a desire to connect the cases, but they were trying to make sure that there was a nexus and it made sense and the evidence was there.
You think they have enough evidence?
I don't know, Sean.
They won't tell you.
No, they're sealed lips over there.
But the good news is I have a network that's supporting me and following the story.
You're following the story.
And we're just going to continue to push the gas pedal on this.
And it's not just for me.
I had a conversation with Dr. Drew, who's a good guy.
No, he's a great guy.
I love Dr. Drew.
He's a dear friend as well.
But he was telling me, look, when people have these situations happen in their family where someone is violently taken from them or any other way, the impact of that is permanent, essentially.
But he said, in order for you to really try to make some room and peace for yourself, it's to do something that furthers their legacy.
That's what John Walsh did.
Exactly right.
And John Walsh told me very similarly the same thing.
And America's Most Wanted, John Walsh, I actually met through Sean Hannity, who called me on a Friday and said, do you know John Walsh?
Well, of course I know who he is.
I don't know him personally.
Don't worry, he's going to call you, which he did.
And we did a commercial together for my brother.
Thank you again.
Let me just say this.
I'm so proud of the fighter that you are.
You know, and it's discouraging what you're going through and what you've been going through is discouraging, but you're not stopping.
And you always say it's not just about my brother.
So it doesn't happen to other people.
And you've used your platform, your voice, which is powerful, and you don't give up.
And I love that part of you because a lot of people just throw up their hands and say, you know, the hell with this.
Wow.
And you can't do that.
I don't have a choice.
And by the way, one other thing.
Giano spent all his money to move his entire family out of Chicago.
I'm not going to give away where you live, but to a much nicer, safer place.
Is that fair?
Yeah, no, that's fair.
All right.
That's fair.

Seriously.
Seriously.
Linda, can you?
You can't hook up.
Come on, Linda.
That's your job.
I'm in my 30s and handsome.
Let's do it.
Listen, you're just not, you know, I'm.
I'm with my big brother.
How could I not say this?
You keep saying I need to get married to get away.
If we put this up on Hannity.com, it would explode.
I'm not going to be able to do it.
If you want me to do that, just be careful what you wish for.
All right, listen.

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?
