| 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, Scott Shannon. | |
| Thanks to all of you for being with us. | |
| Toll free, our number is 800 941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program, you know the Bob Grand used to say the world, you know, it's sick and it's getting sicker. | |
| So here's a guy out in Los Angeles, a homeowner, who had to defend his family and himself and fend off an apparent would-be robbers that show up at his home. | |
| Said his concealed carry permit has now been taken away from him only days after they had this residential neighborhood shootout. | |
| Now he was able to defend his home and his family and his five-month-old child, and California now suspended his second amendment rights, said the LA resident, married father of one. | |
| His name is Vince. | |
| I don't want to give his name. | |
| Anyway, telling Fox News.com in a call. | |
| Anyway, they called to inform him that his concealed carry permit was revoked. | |
| Uh and he said it was due to him yelling at the LAPD when they visited his home to investigate the shooting three days after the incident. | |
| And anyway, the guy previously, you know, was railing against the LAPD. | |
| Uh, and he said they carried out a sloppy police work, including allegedly not picking up the casings that were scattered near his home as evidence. | |
| Now, if that really happened and you're a homeowner, wouldn't you want the police to do a thorough job? | |
| I guess maybe there's so many shootings now in big cities like Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. | |
| Maybe now they don't even have time to pick up evidence and showcasings and do ballistics work anymore. | |
| I guess that's that may be a thing of the fact as we were talking to Gianno Cobalt yesterday. | |
| Anyway, this gunfight breaks out in front of this guy's house November the fourth. | |
| The homeowner returned to his his his gated Los Angeles house. | |
| He just came back from the gym. | |
| Yeah, he sees two armed men jumping his fence, racing. | |
| He, you know, he has to force their way into the house that he was about to unlock his front door. | |
| His five-month-old daughter and family's nanny were inside the house. | |
| He has what is a legal concealed carry permit in California, which by the way, historically has been very difficult to get compared to other states. | |
| Uh, and he said it took months for him to actually get his permit. | |
| He had to use his firearm on his private property. | |
| California law allows legal U.S. residents over the age of 18 to carry firearms on private property and residences without a permit or without a license. | |
| So he now said in an NRA video that the shooting is a clear case of self-defense, noting that he was confronted by two men that were pointing guns at him as he tried to make his way into his own home. | |
| He said, My situation is unique. | |
| It happened at my front door, all of it's on camera. | |
| Now, you would think the police, before they make this decision, or whoever made this decision, might want to take the time to look at the video. | |
| Because he says this happens over and over again in this country. | |
| You know, people sweep it under the rug because it doesn't behoove their political agenda. | |
| The fact is, evil will always exist. | |
| Something I've said often on this program. | |
| Anyway, so he said that this wasn't even the first time that he's been targeted by criminals. | |
| I mean, this is the now this this is now the result of defund, dismantle, no bail laws. | |
| And now if you are a law-abiding citizen and these criminals want to come to your house, you're pretty much going to be a sitting duck. | |
| You know, it's pretty unreal to me. | |
| Really is. | |
| Let me tell you as an example. | |
| We've talked a lot about the national security implications regarding the 8 million illegal immigrants coming into this country because Joe Biden is aiding them and abetting them in the process. | |
| And we have talked about the fact that they're not vetted, and we've talked about the fact that over 450 plus billion dollars a year at least of taxpayer dollars now are needed to take care of all these illegal immigrants that Joe helped come into the country because he would not enforce our nation's laws. | |
| Um York has been hit particularly hard, and as a result, the New York police department is going to be reduced to only 29,000 cops by the end of fiscal year 2025. | |
| That would be the lowest level since the 1990s amid what is a slew of budget cuts. | |
| So, in order to pay those, you know, three four-star hotel rooms, build these ten cities, offer free medical care, uh, allow these kids into schools. | |
| Many of the kids don't speak English, so they have to be taught English as a second language, uh, but they don't have the money to hire new teachers. | |
| So this is this is where it's now going to hit every city, every town across this country. | |
| So, for example, NYPD, 42 million dollars in cuts. | |
| Ultimately, uh that's just for a new training class that they're taking away from, but they're cutting a total of 132 million for security in New York, and they're now going to the lowest police level they've had in over 20 years. | |
| They're going to cut back on the fire department in New York by 74 million dollars. | |
| Now, with all these illegal immigrants getting into the sanctuary schools in New York City, now they're also going to cut the Department of Education by 547 million dollars. | |
| Uh, by the way, they had swim safety classes, that's gone. | |
| Removal of litter baskets, that's gone. | |
| Uh, you know, mental health programs, that's gone. | |
| Department of Social Services, they're gonna lose 322 million just to accommodate this unfunded mandate of Joe Biden. | |
| That that is what radicalism is bringing to our country. | |
| Never mind the fact that of the 8 million illegal immigrants, those that we know came across the country unvetted, and those that came in the what we call the gotta ways, of the 8 million, most of 99% of these people have not been vetted. | |
| 99% also got in, they were not turned away. | |
| And whenever you hear Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Alejandro Mayorcis, or anybody else tell you that in fact the borders closed, the border secure, they're just flat out lying to you. | |
| And they're not doing a thing. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| Uh, we'll get to this in the next hour, but that gag order that was put on President Trump from commenting uh about this case going on in New York has now, in fact, been lifted. | |
| Uh and thankfully that happened. | |
| Now, what have I been saying? | |
| I said, okay, so all of these cases involving Donald Trump. | |
| Now, it's amazing because I've never seen this before in political history. | |
| He defies all conventional political gravity because you would think if a candidate gets charged and a candidate Gets arraigned and arrested, that their poll numbers would go down. | |
| Well, not with Donald Trump every time they have gone up. | |
| They have not gone down. | |
| And it has made people angry. | |
| So it has just gone in the opposite direction. | |
| So they had all of these years since 2016 in New York City to bring this hard-hitting case about Stormy Daniels and some other Karen McDougall to court, and they now wait to the election year, | |
| and they want to have that trial in New York City, where I don't think Donald Trump can get a fair trial, as evidenced by this, you know, clown show this judge in New York that is actually valuating Mur-Lago at 18 million when it's closer to a billion, which is the very thing that they're accusing Donald Trump of, which is increasing valuations uh for some type of benefit. | |
| That's exactly what the judge is doing in this case. | |
| You can't even make this up. | |
| There's no way that case stands on appeal. | |
| No way. | |
| I don't see it happening. | |
| Anyway, so you had an appellate court decision here. | |
| Um, so the the trial judge in the civil case, this guy and Goron imposed the gag order against Donald Trump and later fine Donald Trump 15 grand for violating the gag order at an emergency hearing yesterday at the appellate court level. | |
| Uh, anyway, there were questions about what authority he had to do. | |
| Now I have a simple question on this. | |
| This is not a complicated issue. | |
| What part of the First Amendment does this judge not understand? | |
| This is not a difficult case to handle here. | |
| And by the way, where we're at it, we now learned just before TV last night, we learned that in fact there's not going to be any charges at all against Joe Biden as it relates to the document scandal. | |
| Now remember, they found documents from the days he was in the U.S. Senate at the University of Delaware. | |
| They found top secret classified material in his own garage next to his precious Corvette. | |
| They found it at the UPenn Biden Center. | |
| They found it at Joe Biden's beach home. | |
| They never raided any of these locations. | |
| But if you don't think we have a dual justice system or a double standard, this is exactly what I've been saying we have happening. | |
| Now, this is what Jim Jordan is investigating with the House Judiciary Committee. | |
| Has the FBI, has the DOJ? | |
| Are they politicized and are they weaponized? | |
| The answer is an obvious yes. | |
| You know, Hillary Clinton had what? | |
| James Comey lays it out in a speech that he gives, an announcement he makes in July of 2016 before the 2016 election. | |
| He outlines all of the top secret classified material. | |
| By the way, in the end, it's more than what they were able to get during this quote, raid of Mar-a-Lago, and then he ends with no reasonable prosecutor would ever prosecute. | |
| And that does not include the 33,000 deleted emails on her server and the devices that were destroyed, blackberries and iPhones with hammers and the SIM cards removed. | |
| So, you know, tell me how that's equal justice under the law. | |
| How does anybody see three people basically doing the exact same thing or accused of doing the exact same thing? | |
| And only one gets raided, only one gets charged, and everybody, all the Democrats get off scot-free. | |
| How do you not see that as a corrupt system? | |
| How do you not see that as a system that is broken? | |
| You know, why would a judge be able to put a gag order on the ability of somebody that is charged with a crime from even defending themselves? | |
| How does that happen? | |
| By the way, Senator Tom Cotton is demanding that violent pro-Hamas insurrectionists be treated as harshly as January 6 protesters. | |
| Well, that has, you know, liberals literally, you know, their heads are going 360 in the projectile vomiting over it, like the exorcist. | |
| They can't believe it. | |
| Uh anyway, the House Republicans have made a decision to cut the DOJ's budget, expect it to limit uh some of their prosecutions that they deem political. | |
| So that's happening. | |
| And, you know, and then you gotta wonder about why Joe Biden has taken such a hard left turn to pressure Israel after the worst terror attack in their history and try and pressure them from defending themselves when their existence is in jeopardy. | |
| You know, why would you allow a terrorist group Hamas with a charter that calls for the destruction of Israel time that they can replenish their weaponry, replenish their supplies, recalculate their pol their war strategies based on what's going on in the ground? | |
| Why wouldn't you just encourage Israel to defeat the terrorists that killed 1,400 innocent people and took hundreds of innocent people hostage? | |
| That is life under Joe Biden in America today. | |
| But don't worry, according, even though Joe's not going to get charged in the document case. | |
| I forgot this very important point. | |
| Joe Biden is expected to get scolded. | |
| He's going to get a scolding from the prosecutor. | |
| He's not going to get charged, but he's going to get a lecture. | |
| I don't think Joe can pay attention long enough to hear the lecture, but they're going to try. | |
| So that's how we treat Joe Biden. | |
| Hillary Clinton, no reasonable prosecutor or prosecute. | |
| Donald Trump has Mar-a-Lago rated and charges and then more charges and then more charges piled upon the other charges. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| Do you think how does a country, a democratic republic, survive if its justice system is weaponized like this? | |
| How does how does Joe Biden get away, his family get away with tens and tens of millions of dollars from our top geopolitical foes, and that there's half the country that is saying, oh, he did nothing wrong. | |
| And you know that they have all of they wouldn't handle, you know, all these suspicious activity reports. | |
| According to James Comer, all of these show corporations, all of these disbursements, financial disbursements to 10 Biden family members, tens of millions of dollars involved with the communist Chinese, Russian oligarchs, Kazakhstan oligarchs, uh Barisma, the corrupt oil giant in Ukraine. | |
| Hunter has no experience, addicted to drug, gets paid millions. | |
| Joe Biden gets a call from Barisma executives and Hunter five days before he goes to goes to Ukraine, leverages a billion taxpayer dollars, gets the prosecutor investigating Barisma fired, and Hunter continues to get paid a lot of money, but he's addicted to drugs and he has no experience. | |
| That sound right to you. | |
| Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |

| By the way, this is now going to start happening all around the country now that New York City is defunding the police, the fire department, the educational department, and a whole slew of city agencies just to pay for the care and the maintenance of all of Joe Biden's illegal immigrants. | |
| However, you know what? | |
| It's partly the mayor's fault, and it's partly the governor of New York's fault. | |
| Why? | |
| They're saying they come come to New York. | |
| Come here. | |
| They were begging for people to come. | |
| Then a lot of people started coming. | |
| And then all of a sudden they realized, uh oh, this is gonna get expensive. | |
| Now they're even thinking about in New York, if you can believe this, and this is just one of a million reasons to get out of New York. | |
| They're thinking about an illegal immigrant tax to cover all the costs associated with Joe's eight million illegal immigrants that he aided and abetted and allowed into this country unvetted. | |

| This is the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800 941 Sean, our number of you want to be a part of the program. | |
| So Linda, I did I we had a secret, well, a conversation yesterday. | |
| I said, you know, um I'm I'm gonna do like seven minutes at the Patriot Awards, and I want to make it light and funny and just do it a little bit differently, and then get serious at the end about how proud I am of Fox and the fact that they do this, they honor everyday great Americans that never get the recognition that they deserve. | |
| It was it's such a really special event. | |
| And we're doing this at the Grand Old Opry House, and I'm I'm on that stage, and they have this circle of what we're the actual flooring where all the great country music artists over the ages have sang from. | |
| And I said, How do I ignore that and not at least bring up that location? | |
| And Linda, to your credit, you were pushing me to do my to follow through on my idea, and I actually did. | |
| I'll tell you more about it later. | |
| That's awesome. | |
| You should be proud of me. | |
| Listen, it's a lot of pressure. | |
| And I mean, you know, they they want you to do a lot of different things, and sometimes it's hard to do it out of the box, but I'm glad you did it. | |
| No, it's being called profane by certain people in the media mob. | |
| Listen, you're saying the Pledge of Allegiance is a profane thing to liberate. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | |
| Go ahead and be offended. | |
| I'll wait. | |
| They actually are offended that I say shift show. | |
| That's how stupid the media is. | |
| This is these are the same people that were upset about the tweets, but support Palestine. | |
| Like give me a break. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Okay. | |
| This this is the same media that, you know, stays silent on the issue of uh the terror organization known as Hamas. | |
| I mean, you gotta be kidding me. | |
| Um, but that's profane, a shift show, an Adam Schiff show. | |
| Because we all know Adam is a piece of Schiff. | |
| That's his last name, isn't it? | |
| What's his name again? | |
| Adam Schiff. | |
| Is that Schiff? | |
| Is that uh two Fs or one? | |
| Well, it depends. | |
| I just want to see how many times we could say it to really piss them off. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | |
| Or by the way, how many years have I been doing Bill Clinton jokes? | |
| I mean, too many. | |
| I but I can't no, it's not too many because I come up with a new version every time, and I came up with a new version. | |
| What's the new version? | |
| Well, you would I'll maybe we'll play it later. | |
| All right then. | |
| All right, so everybody that owns a home, you gotta listen to me. | |
| You probably have what's called an invisible gap in your home's protection. | |
| Now, for most people, their home is their biggest investment. | |
| You don't want to put your equity in your home at risk. | |
| And there's something that is called house stealing. | |
| I know it sounds crazy, but it's very real, and you have these cyber criminals all around the world. | |
| They are targeting American homeowners. | |
| The FBI crime stories they actually say this quote, con artists just pick a house. | |
| It can be a vacation home, a rental property, or the home that you're living in right now. | |
| They can online transfer the deed of your home. | |
| Your home's deed is online. | |
| Uh, they'll transfer the deed into their name. | |
| They simply obtain the forms, they use fake IDs, they fill out the paperwork, they send it into proper authorities, and guess what? | |
| On paper, they own your home. | |
| You no longer own it. | |
| They steal it. | |
| Now, once they complete that step, they take out loans using your home as collateral. | |
| And in other cases, they can even sell your home from underneath you. | |
| That's where the invisible gap is. | |
| Now that's where Hometitolock.com comes in, and they're gonna get you free, they're gonna give you a free complete title scan. | |

| Um, John Solomon's gonna break this story tonight. | |
| He just uh gave me a heads up on this. | |
| Uh Hunter Biden apparently is the headline, kept afloat with millions from father's democratic donors after foreign money dried up. | |
| It goes on to say money flowing to Hunter Biden from various sources, helped pay off Hunter Biden's tax debts, his child support, his high dollar rent since Joe Biden began running for president. | |
| When Hunter Biden's foreign business deals started drying up, uh, apparently amid his recovery from addiction and his father's 2020 presidential campaign. | |
| Anyway, well, all of a sudden he needed new sources of income to keep him afloat. | |
| And what John Solomon is reporting is Democratic supporters of Joe Biden's presidential campaign, according to hundreds of pages of documents reviewed by just the news.com, now show that the evidence gathered by the federal and congressional investigators show Hunter Biden collected over six million dollars since his father began running for president since 2020. | |
| The assistance flowed predominantly from this prominent Democratic donor. | |
| He's been written about a lot. | |
| Some respected Hollywood lawyer named Kevin Morris, who I have no idea who he is, whom the first son reportedly befriended at one of his father's fundraising events. | |
| Anyway, in response to just the news.com and their fact checking inquiries and seeking comment from Morris, his lawyer, uh, they responded, quote, we believe we know the identity of the source, and that it is an individual who has been engaged in a campaign of harassment against Mr. Morris that includes doxing uh that has resulted in threats on Mr. Morris' life. | |
| We further believe that, by the way, nobody should ever dox anybody. | |
| That practice has got to stop. | |
| There's got to be a penalty for that because you're putting people's lives at risk. | |
| Now, the left was not too interested when there was doxing of Supreme Court justices. | |
| That shouldn't happen. | |
| It shouldn't happen to this guy, shouldn't happen because he's in a report. | |
| It should never happen. | |
| But we allow it to happen, and I don't know why. | |
| Anyway, they further go on with their statement. | |
| We further believe the individual has not only disclosed certain information to cause Mr. Porris' public embarrassment and may have outright misrepresented facts and statements about Mr. Morris as part of the campaign of harassment. | |
| In short, we do not believe that this source is credible and certainly cannot be relied on for any accurate information. | |
| They don't discuss any of the details about the credibility of any particular source, and they didn't detail any of the incidents of doxing doxing or any threats specifically to his safety. | |
| He also failed to contradict any of the factual assertions made in the story and brought to his attention. | |
| Hunter Biden's lawyer, who's a really good lawyer, Abby Lowell, did not respond to messages via text, email, et cetera, for comment. | |
| Now, maybe the guy did, maybe the guy didn't do it. | |
| I don't know. | |
| But apparently, according to the committee, they are claiming that they have information that he's got six million dollars in income coming into him. | |
| Well, if it wasn't this guy, then where did it come from? | |
| What has Hunter Biden ever done professionally that earns him the millions and millions of dollars that he has? | |
| This is where we get into the heart of the entire case involving the entire Biden family syndicate. | |
| And that is that you have Hunter Biden at the time he's addicted to drugs. | |
| Hunter Biden gets a deal to sit on the board of the oil and gas giant in Ukraine called Barisma. | |
| That that oil giant is being investigated. | |
| The investigator has a name. | |
| His name is Victor Shokin. | |
| Victor Schoken is coming down hard on Barisma. | |
| It became policy in October of 2015 in the then Obama administration that they there's been enough progress made on the issue of corruption in Ukraine that warranted a mil a billion dollars in loan guarantees. | |
| That becomes their official policy. | |
| October 2015. | |
| Then around December 9th, 2015, Hunter Biden meeting with Barisma executives in Dubai, call his father, the big guy, Joe, and apparently this was at the time when Barisma desperately needed DC help, if you remember that particular line. | |
| Okay, five days later, Joe, in charge of Ukraine policy for the Obama administration after the interagency declaration that they that it becomes policy, that they give a billion and loan guarantees. | |
| Joe's job is to bring that billion dollars with him and give it to the government of Ukraine. | |
| Joe gets there and then later brags about it, leverages a billion dollars, demands that the prosecutor get fired. | |
| He gives him six hours to fire the guy. | |
| He brags about the fact, son of a bee, that they did it, and as a result of Joe's actions as vice president that went directly against Obama administration policy. | |
| It didn't say to go leverage the money for personal benefit, it said to give them the money. | |
| The investigation stops and Hunter continues to get paid. | |
| And then Hunter goes on Good Morning America and admits he has no experience in energy, oil, gas or Ukraine. | |
| So why is he making millions of dollars? | |
| That's the story. | |
| Or the fact that there's a WhatsApp message. | |
| That's one of those secret private message thingies that I don't use. | |
| Anyway, on a WhatsApp message, I'm sitting here next to my father. | |
| Now, Joe had claimed over and over again that he'd never once talked to his son Hunter or his brother, or anybody for that matter, about their foreign business deals. | |
| Okay, I'm sitting next to my father. | |
| Sounds like Joe's keenly aware of what his son Hunter is doing. | |
| Hunter is writing, one of the top officials at the CEFC, that is China's big oil and uh gas conglomerate. | |
| Again, he has no experience. | |
| He's addicted to drugs. | |
| Keep a grudge. | |
| You are going to regret not keeping your side of the bargain, basically. | |
| Lo and behold, five days later, five million dollars ends up in one of these shell corporations that James Comer has identified, which is over 20 of them. | |
| Then Devin Arch Archer, who's who's the business partner of Hunter Biden, he testifies that in fact Joe Biden was up to his eyeballs in a lot of these deals, and that he was on the phone with Hunter and Hunter's business partners. | |
| And then we learned about even dinners and meetings with Russian oligarchs like Elena Batarina, the Russian oligarch, former first lady of Moscow that did $3.5 million in a deal with Hunter's group, and then, according to Devin Archer, over a hundred million was invested in a real estate venture. | |
| That would be corruption. | |
| But it doesn't happen if your last name is Trump. | |
| Your last name is Trump. | |
| If your last name is Clinton, if your last name is Biden, nothing happens. | |
| But anyway, the economy is so bad. | |
| Biden is suggesting that Americans unhappy with the economy are disconnected from reality. | |
| You've got to be kidding me. | |
| Now, all week long we've been reporting to you that every Democrat does not want him to use the word Bidenomics anymore. | |
| Because they know that most Americans give him very poor grades on the economy, and by the way, rightly so. | |
| Record high inflation, record high interest rates, I mean, record high gas prices, record high prices for everything you buy in every store you go to, and many Americans can't even make ends meet. | |
| That's the Biden economy. | |
| But Joe is now suggesting that you are disconnected from reality if in fact you think the economy is bad. | |
| That is not heartwarming to me. | |
| We have a story that the White House is now working to convince Democratic extremists to stop praising Osama bin Laden. | |
| This is a follow-up on that TikTok story I told you about yesterday, where the Bin Laden letter from after 9-11 in 2002 has gone viral all over TikTok. | |
| Apparently, TikTok, because of the pressure now, is trying to take these videos down. | |
| You know, uh, because it's basically a justification for terror. | |
| But you know, one does have to ask why is Joe Biden pressuring Israel constantly to have a pause? | |
| Because they don't need a pause. | |
| They need to win the war against those people that committed these acts of terror and killed all these Israelis and took all these people hostage. | |
| You have one pro-Palestinian group protesting, you know, put out a map of New York City locations tied to, quote, genocide in Gaza, quote, globalize the intifada. | |
| That's what they're doing. | |
| That's a fairly reprehensible anti-Semitic map as labeled by the New York Post. | |
| And National Review saying anti-Semitic threats and violence in the West, a running tally. | |
| They won't they go through everything? | |
| You know, from Montreal, all throughout Europe, all throughout the United States, every student group, all the anti-Semitism, all the acts of anti-Semitism. | |
| I will say this, though, the DC march did prove how broad the pro-Israeli consensus is in America. | |
| That was a pretty impressive part of our week. | |
| The man who killed bin Laden responded to the viral TikTok, which I think is pretty interesting. | |
| I can't believe why would TikTokers be fawning over Osama Bin Laden? | |
| What has happened to the moral compass of young people in this country? | |
| You know, is it just that they've been indoctrinated since the time they started school? | |
| How is this happening at our most prestigious universities? | |
| How is it happening in the halls of Congress from the river to the sea? | |
| How is that happening? | |
| And what is, by the way, the FBI doing about it? | |
| Because, you know, look at how they treated moms and dads that go to school board meetings, investigations into whether they're domestic terrorists. | |
| Look at how they treat even peaceful pro-life protesters. | |
| You're allowed to peacefully protest. | |
| I know they called the summer riots in 2020 peaceful, 574 of them. | |
| A couple of dozen dead Americans, thousands of injured cops, billions in property damage, you know, cities set on fire, and reporters with fire behind them saying, Oh, it's mostly peaceful. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| These are the strangest times. | |
| Do you remember the Hamas terrorists parading around the, I think it was the girl that they called the tattoo artist? | |
| Yeah, apparently the IDF killed her. | |
| This is really sad. | |
| The holy city of Bethlehem is canceling Christmas. | |
| They are going to celebrate Hamas terrorists instead. | |
| Yes. | |
| Hamas terrorists. | |
| Oh, I'm sorry. | |
| What the IDF killed the. | |
| I'm sorry, you're right. | |
| I stand corrected. | |
| The woman, the tattoo artist, the Israeli tattoo artist that was paraded by the Hamas terrorist. | |
| Did I not say that right? | |
| Yeah, you just misspoke for a second. | |
| I think what you were trying to say is that the IDF killed the person who killed that young woman. | |
| Yes. | |
| So the Hamas terrorist that was parading her around and her body around was killed by the IDF. | |
| And by the way, as one rabbi said is riding in hell forever. | |
| Thank you for that correction. | |
| Can you believe Bethlehem canceling Christmas? | |
| I can't. | |
| And I think people need to stop taking this crap and start standing up. | |
| Christmas is a beautiful holiday that can be celebrated. | |

| 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? |
