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.
Hey, welcome to Hannity, everybody.
This is Jay Seculow.
That's right, Logan Seculo.
And we are in for our friend Sean Hannity.
We're monitoring, by the way, uh the situation in New York with the explosion at the Rainbow Bridge Crossing, which is of course at Niagara Falls.
Yeah, the border.
At the border, uh, monitoring that very carefully.
And then uh we've been involved in the we represent families in Israel that are uh hostages of Hamas, and obviously we've been involved in all of that, and we've given reports on that, and we will continue to update you on our work there.
We've got our offices in France, our offices in Jerusalem, and our office in Washington DC, heavily engaged in all of that.
But we're here really also to give some light and some happiness as we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving and into the Christmas season.
That's right.
We have been talking about our new film, Jingle Smells, which is available right now.
We decide to surprise drop on Hannity and say the movie is available right now.
We are joined by one of the stars and one of our good friends, John Schneider.
You know him, you love him.
He needs no introduction.
And John, uh, thanks for coming on Hannity today.
I know it's uh busy week for a lot of people, but to come on and talk about our movie as well as some of your other projects going on.
Uh I think this is an important time.
Uh people need a little bit of a laugh, but also uh they need this kind of and you look, you've been someone who's been on the forefront of producing this kind of content uh for the last few years at least.
Uh people need to be able to stand up and say, no more of the agendas being pushed.
This is uh you represents me, and having movies like this is important.
Absolutely.
And how we do it, our our uh weapons of choice are storytelling.
You know, so this is a wonderful, wonderful movie.
I just uh I laughed.
It's hysterical.
But it's it's so great that it comes against cancel culture.
It's so great that it's uh it's patriotic.
Uh uh, it's it's kind of reminiscent of a certain television show I used to do where the the good guys got in trouble for doing the right thing.
Absolutely.
And uh look, it is interesting to see you uh as a cop, I have to say, when when you know someone who grew up uh on your show to know to see you as a cop was one of the first I was like, well, you know, but you look you look in the uniform, it worked.
Oh, thanks, thanks.
Yeah, I was on the wrong side of the badge somehow.
That was kind of a nice junk superposition, though.
Oh, yeah.
I think a lot of a lot of a lot of the comments are that.
If you look at the comments on our uh trailer posts, and again, over half a million uh views on our trailer, uh just on Rumble alone, and it's growing on all these other platforms.
Uh a lot of them are it's fun to see John uh as the law when it when you know he's been fighting the law for so long.
Very cool though, and John, this time okay, go ahead.
No, no, no, go around you.
No, no, I'm just saying that though this movie uh it deals with a lot of important topics, and I I think that that is uh we've all we when I've pitched this movie, I said it's a silly Christmas comedy, like as in the wrapping paper, but the present itself is that it stands up for a lot of people who feel like they're getting an agenda pushed on them that isn't really what you know they want.
They don't want it for their families, but also the movie's clean, it's it's something to put around on Thanksgiving uh or Christmas to watch the whole season.
And to make that available to people also at an affordable cost, something that's important to us as well, is cool too.
It's not something that, you know, I'll be honest, and I've talked to you about this.
We had uh a theatrical distributor approach us, and we said, you know, at this time when people are our stretched thin economically, oh we see sort of the chaos in the world.
Yep.
This is a movie, jingle smells that you can get behind and watch really for the price of one ticket.
Because I took my kids to see, you know, the Paw Patrol movie or whatever it was.
And by the time I got done with that, with popcorn and candy, it was over $200 to take some.
And this, we're coming at 1999.
It's available, you can watch it as many times as you want.
Uh, and John, someone who also has done this as well.
It's also independent filmmaking.
It's it's not big studio productions, and there's something nice about knowing where your money's going.
Well, absolutely, you'll get an accurate accounting because you know you'll be doing the accounting.
Uh, which is fantastic, right?
So it's uh folks, you know how the feeling that you had when you sat around and watched Tooks of Hazard.
It's the same kind of a vibe.
It's the same kind of a thing.
You're gonna want to watch it with your grandparents, and your grandparents are gonna want want to watch it with you.
And uh it's just good old fashioned entertainment for the entire family, like we used to know how to do.
Somehow several generations forgot how to do that.
So it's uh it's good that you Logan and you, Jay and your gang there, and uh those of us who really care about content.
We we are picking up the ball, and we're gonna run with it.
We're gonna provide uh fantastic independent entertainment through movies, through music, through books, all of that.
Uh as we continue to rebuild the greatest country in the history of the world.
You know, John, one of the things that you know, I I said this, we had Victoria Jackson on early, and I said this.
You watch some of the movies today, some of the TV shows, and everything looks fine, and then you get I call it the left hook.
And it comes out of nowhere, and it, you know, it's the agenda-driven from the hard left, and it's it it doesn't even fit the movie or the script or the TV show, but it's like they cannot resist.
The one thing that that among the many things I like about this movie is not only is it funny, which is great, and your acting is fantastic, it does deal with a real phenomenon right now, which is the cancel culture.
And and and also deals with the military.
So it it touches on issues that are important to Americans that think like we do.
Yes, and it touches on them in a very entertaining way.
Uh it's not uh it's it doesn't beat you over the head with anything, it just entertains you like crazy.
And we talk about those those uh subjects that really shouldn't be touchy.
You know, we need to uh we need to come against cancel culture.
Um the Dukes of Hazard is arguing arguably one of the first shows that fell into that.
You know, so um so it's it's absurd, it's ridiculous, and I think the way that uh that the movie came together.
Um it is kind of in in some areas there with uh Eric, it is absurd and ridiculous and wonderful.
Just wonderful.
I mean, it's it's it's real, it's it's oddly, you know, we try to make this as big satire fun, but it's crazy how close to reality it has become.
Even since we've made this movie, we've seen this happen over and over.
And John, I did want to divert just for a second because you also have uh a new book and uh a new album out as well, and I know we wanted to touch on that and talk about that.
Uh a totally different subject matter, uh, but it's something that has obviously been near and dear to your heart.
Well, absolutely.
Um when my beautiful wife passed away on February 21st of this year.
Um I I feel God let me go crazy for 48 hours or so, but then he tapped me on the shoulder and he said, You've got to finish the book.
You've got to finish the book.
Uh so Alicia was writing a book uh about being in the driver's seat of your own diagnosis.
Not just turning yourself over to uh to the medical industry, but really taking an active part in lengthening your life.
And uh it's uh it's a fantastic book.
It's funny, it's got pictures in it, and and and uh both uh Alicia was probably 90% done with it, and then I came in and I added I added some things to it.
Um and uh wonderful memories and wonderful stories about what an incredibly brave and strong woman, Alicia Elaine Schneider.
I'll say is.
That's great.
So And you've got and you've got a new album coming out too as well.
Or is that I have an album.
I have an album because I wanted to do uh a tribute album to her.
Um so I got together with some friends of mine in Nashville and we uh we wrote eight songs and then I added two of her favorites on to it that uh that I know she would love and that's called We're Still Us.
So the album's called We're Still Us.
The book is called In the Driver's Seat.
They're both available now at uh John Schneider Studios dot com.
Or you can get the book through uh through Amazon.
But I'd I'd rather you buy it to us.
Yeah look that's the truth.
I think the pimp people needed to understand that too I've gotten a few uh texts and comments go buy it through John Schneider Studios dot com.
Just like when we're selling our stream right now for the movie.
Maybe uh we asking we're asking you to go to jinglesmells dot movie or even just directly on Rumble even don't and and I'll say this and be up front about it.
Reason we don't say go buy it through the app is because guess who takes a good chunk of that revenue?
Whoever's that app store fighters whether that's Amazon or whether that's Apple uh you do a deal when you're talking to us in Rumble or talking to us in John Schneider Studios, you know exactly where it's going.
Yes.
Yes you do.
You certainly it's very important I think for for people to understand that.
Yes there's convenience there to just use an Amazon or or to just buy it right there on your app and I understand that and look I probably fell victim to that myself but I know that I want to support independent producers of content whether that's uh films uh like our movie Jingle Smells or whether that is your album we're still us or in the driver's seat the new book uh written by you and obviously by Alicia as well uh a beautiful story and a great CD as well and great album you can pick it up there.
You know I've had the pleasure of having John uh play with our band.
Yeah uh and uh she's a fantastic singer and great guitarist and uh we we've had we've had a lot of fun doing that.
John I want to get back to the the movie because I want to get back to the culture issues that we're dealing with right now.
There's so much going on right now across the the the globe it's um it's a harrowing time.
But you know voices like yours and ours and and others that speak out on these issues we used to call that free speech and pure spr free speech but that now is uh at risk.
Logan said it was interesting I I wear this and I think he does too is a badge of a compliment that when the trailer came out which has been viewed a million times almost some of the left wing media of course just on a 46 second, 45 second trailer went with their usual attacks.
This is right wing propaganda and already bashing it saying it's horrible before they even saw more than 45 seconds of the movie just because they knew great though.
Oh it's great so afraid there they are afraid of the fact that they know over half the audience of these kind of movies is right there with that and that's what I was going to say John.
The the fact is the issues you touch on in the movie you actually John's role is kind of the truth teller in the in this and and I think that's an important message for people understand John.
Well absolutely absolutely you have uh you can't get afraid of these the cancel culture number one but you can't be afraid to uh speak out I don't know where conservatives I mean obviously the three of us never never were afraid to speak out but why all of a sudden in the last five years or so did it become uncool to to have a conservative opinion in a public place.
And all of a sudden conservatives started you know looking around their shoulder before they said, you know, I voted for Trump.
Right.
What what what's if if you don't have if you don't have the integrity to to shout out what you believe then I question whether or not you really believe it.
I love the fact that this movie takes takes that stance as well and uh and it's terrific.
And yeah I guess I'm the I'm the Yoda.
I'm kind of the Yoda.
But I'm funny go to I'm a you are funny Yoda.
You're funny whether you're the one giving the the delivering the line or whether you're the butt of the joke what the good thing about John is that you're always game and you're always ready to go and have a lot of fun and we had a lot of fun together making this movie and uh I hope we get to make a lot more John I'm I I'm just thrilled to call you a friend someone who who we can rely on and work with.
And look I I hope you think you're coming to town here next week.
Hopefully we'll see you then as well because um it has been a a great experience and I can't wait to hopefully continue on.
That's one of the big things about this we hope that this is the number one Christmas movie of the year.
We really believe it can be with your support and with that we hope to make more that this will not be the end of of what we do at the ACLJ, what we do with Sean Hannity, and what we do with John, and some of the other people you've heard here on this broadcast today, because uh we believe in this is much more than just a silly fun Christmas comedy.
Uh we hope this is a movement we could continue, John.
Thank you so much.
And then John Schneider Studios, where you can pick up the book uh and the new uh the new album.
Thanks, John, for being with us.
We really appreciate it.
You're a good friend.

All right, so we've got uh more coming up on the Hannity Broadcast.

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.

That uh little tune you just heard is uh performed by the J Seculo Ban.
You can get information about that.
Uh I guess going to J Seculo Band on Facebook.
Yeah, you can find it out there.
All of your videos are in our YouTube channel, uh, ACLJ's YouTube channel, which you subscribe to.
Got a concert at the end of the month.
Last day of the month will be a live concert on uh Rumble and Facebook and YouTube and X and That's right.
You do that you're also in the uh finale of the movie, so which is really exciting.
It's I thought so.
I think it's great.
You guys play uh your own version of Jingle Bell, so it's pretty uh a pretty cool uh moment.
Kind of great version of it to tell you that.
Yeah, no, we've used it in all of you've seen our trailers or heard it.
It's what we use as our sort of main theme.
So that and I will say, because it's this is uh, you know, this is Hannity and Commodore City is the theme song of uh of Handy.
John Rich also uh gave us a song to use Santa's Got a Dirty Job, which is available on all your streaming service and all that's kind of one of the uh there's two songs that are really in this movie.
There's a great music score.
Uh uh, Chris who did that, did a great job, but then there's two like songs that are in it.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Smells, your version, uh that's in the movie, and then Santa's got a dirty job, which is a great John Rich song that's on his new record as well.
Uh it's him and Mike Rowe and the Oak Ridge boys.
And it's in the film as well.
Yeah, so and we're excited about that.
By the way, uh New York governor has uh just concluded a press conference where she said at this point there is no indication that what happened at that bridge was uh it in between Canada and the United States was an act of terrorism.
We hope that's the case that it wasn't.
Yeah, um, obviously, terrorism task force is is looking at it, so we'll keep you posted if anything develops in the rest of the broadcast here.
Uh on the front in Israel, the beginning of the uh basically the ceasefire, if you want to call it, or temporary uh reprieve is starting this morning at 3 a.m., I think their time, uh, in Israel.
So we will get we'll keep you posted on that as well.
We're representing a number of the hostage families and trying to get them out.
That's a big job that the ACLJ, our affiliates in uh Jerusalem and in uh and in of course in Strasburg, France are working on.
We've got more on the Hannity program coming up.
You want to stay tuned and go to Jingle Smells.movie.
Movie is out today.
Sean Hannity's in it.
You don't want to miss it.
Also, executive produced it with Logan.
Again, Jingle Smells.movie.
Back with more Hannity in a minute.
Hey everybody, welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show.
Jay Seculo.
Logan Seculo.
We're in for Sean.
And let me give you an update on the situation in Israel.
We have an office in Jerusalem at the American Center for Law and Justice.
We also have clients that are uh hostage families that are in this situation that with Hamas, it's horrific, as you can imagine.
Uh, the Prime Minister spoke not that long ago.
Here's what he said.
He said, quote, I want to be clear, the war is continuing.
The war is continuing.
We will continue it until we achieve all our goals.
No hostages will be released prior to Friday uh morning Eastern Standard Time, so that's when they'll be released.
International Red Cross will go into Gaza to treat Israeli prisoners with medication.
The Prime Minister also instructed the Mossad to eliminate the leaders of Hamas wherever they are hiding globally.
And he thanked President Biden for their phone call earlier today about ongoing hostage negotiations.
So there's still ongoing hostage negotiations there, and our teams at the European Center for Law and Justice and our office in Jerusalem and our office uh in Washington is here heavily involved in representing these families.
So that's the update there.
But we're also bringing some light here and some happiness and some joy as we get ready for Thanksgiving with the announcement of a great movie called Jingle Smells, the executive producer, Sean Hannity, Logan Seculo, and you've got one of your other stars here on the phone with us.
That's right, last star of the day.
We've had an amazing group join us already this morning.
We've had this this evening.
It's been a long day as we've been promoting this movie.
Uh we had John Schneider on, we had Ben Davies on.
We had Victoria Jackson, and now we're joined by the guy who a lot of people who have seen this movie say he steals the movie.
Uh comedian has been around forever.
You know him, you love him.
Brad Stein, Brad, uh, you're Nashville local, but you couldn't make it in today.
Obviously, it's Thanksgiving, but I appreciate you calling in.
Listen, I don't normally brag about this, but I have been fasting and praying for this movie since we wrapped.
The good news, it drops today on Rumble.
The bad news, I'm down to 47 pounds, so thank you.
No, Brad, this is it was a surprise release, so your surprise fast could be over.
It could be over.
It's you know, it's like uh it's a miracle really before Thanksgiving.
So thankfully you get to it.
Brad, uh I was so honored to have you join the cast of this movie and uh with Daniel Lesco, who's our director, he he suggested you I thought, man, Brad is uh could be hysterical in this role, and really uh you came in, brought a lot of light and brought a lot of humor uh to this character.
And what I like about working with you and uh as well as the rest of the cast you've heard from today, uh you're there with us for the message as well.
And it's not just the message of the movie, but really, if you want to say the overall purpose of this movie, which is to have an option and have a Hollywood agenda-free option for your family.
Well, listen, if you know my career, uh the New Yorker called me God's got me in 2004.
I destroyed my secular mainstream career when I came out and said I'm a conservative.
I'm a Christian and I'm unapologetic.
I will not uh not speak truth at all times.
I will stand for liberty, I will stand for freedom, it will be done in my comedy routines, and I will do it and see if there happens to be anybody else out there that believes in what uh I'm doing.
And you know, that's what it's all about, guys.
I mean, I wanted to do sophisticated comedy for Christians, for conservatives, for Patriots, and that's what I do.
But then I said, what about movies?
That's the thing that most affects uh, you know, a lot of times young people, a lot of times people who maybe aren't watching the news.
But they do go to social media, they do go to the dissemination of information, sometimes to the arts and the entertainment.
And why shouldn't we have the best stuff there is, folks?
It's funny.
It's a funny movie, it's uh it's poignant, and it's you know what else?
It's just kind of it's just kind of fun.
We're not trying to beat you over ahead with a political point of view.
Uh we're not trying to uh, you know, force you to believe one way or the other.
It's just you know what it is, it's for Americans.
For people who just used to sit around on Thanksgiving, Christmas, watch a show together, and everybody had something just for them.
And so I'm proud to be part of that.
The miracle worker I must say is Daniel Lusco, the director of what that guy did in six days and editing it.
He's a magician.
So he should be like, you know, doing three movies a year.
The guy's amazing.
Daniel Lesko, for those of you looking for a director, but I appreciate you guys letting me in and just really taking my comedy career and what I've stood for as God's comic all these years, and let me have a chance to be partisan like this.
I believe that this could be a juggernaut and a launch of much, much more films like this, which by the way, I think will prove that uh if if the bottom line even matters anymore to uh studios, uh that this is the type of thing that is not only something that is necessary in America to give us some kind of unity, but you know what?
It's gonna make money because people want this, not the propaganda crazy wokeys.
So this is a perfect storm for people to go do something with their family on Thanksgiving and be proud of America.
And that is the goal.
You know, the goal of this film, like I said, we want to be the number one Christmas movie of the year, the new number one new Christmas movie of the year.
And we think we can do it because if people uh are listening to what Brad had to say, and that is true, which is this is the kind of movie the audience wants.
We really truly do believe it.
We've partnered with Rumble because they are the number one free speech platform, and we cannot Be more proud to work with them, work with Sean Hannity and everyone on this team to get this movie into your hands.
Hopefully, uh, in front of your eyeballs and from all of your friends and family, hopefully they'll see it as well and see that you're right.
You don't just have to to take what you're given.
We're able to give you a new option.
And by the way, as Brad said, if this one is a success, which we believe wholeheartedly it will be, that there will be mi much, much more coming down the pike.
So we're excited about what else could be produced out of the ACLJ with Sean Hannity and with everyone.
We're working on a lot of project potential, and I'm excited to hopefully continue that going.
I do want to play, if we could.
If it's ready, we'd like to play a bit of an audio trailer for Jingle Smells available right now.
All right, Merry Christmas, America as Hollywood has cancelled.

I think people will will be excited after they see this movie.
Because I think this is different for a lot of the cast.
Uh you obviously can meet John Schneider at a lot of events and things.
But Brad Stein comes to your town.
Brad Stein is touring.
So if you like Michael, Uncle Mike, crazy Uncle Mike in this movie.
Um Brad Stein's the unapologetic American comedy tour is happening right now, and it it you you you two are nonstop.
Well, I do, and actually my new album, uh, which I haven't quite finished yet, it's close.
But my next tour is going to be called Laugh While It's Legal.
So that's listen, I have been a follower and a fan and a donor, to be a perfect honest of ACLJ for many, many years in your dad today.
Uh we've known each other for many years.
We're all in the same boat.
We're fighting the same fight.
We just use different genres, different uh flavors, different means of communication.
Uh, I do it as a comic as an actor, uh, but I just answer something.
I believe in some of these folks.
We are at a time in our history that I don't know if there's any precedent for this as far as what we're dealing with, but we need to find unity once again.
We don't have to agree on everything, but we do have to agree on this that America is not perfect, and I don't worship it.
I worship God.
But I'm grateful for the greatest nation the world has ever known.
And if we can't find some unity and something to bring us back together, we simply can't survive.
Well, this is a movie.
I know.
It's not a miracle, Walker, but it's just a small step in saying little by little we're going to recapture the culture and re-remind Americans what it meant to be one nation under God.
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
It's that important.
Yep.
You guys to go get movies like this.
Support them, not with a placard going out protesting by saying I don't like it.
Get your little five bucks out and protest by saying I'm going to invest in something that matters to me.
And in the end, I still think uh we will see what it looks like uh for America to have a beautiful holiday movie that will become a classic, and that's really what we're hoping for.
Either way, you're gonna have a great time.
And I really thank you guys for letting me be part of it because I love what you're doing, and I'm grateful that I can be attached in any small way.
Brad, thank you.
You play a huge role in this movie, and you are hysterical in it again.
You steal the show.
It's exciting to uh I know people will love you.
Yeah, I'm Brad, I'm I'm thrilled you were in it.
I got to see the movie, of course, and uh you you did a great job, a great part, and uh uh part that also had some it packed a punch in the right way, and we appreciate you and appreciate the stains you're taking.
Thanks for being with us today, buddy.
Ditto, brothers.
Watch you soon.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
We'll talk to you very soon, Brad.
Again, it's an important time.
Uh, we know things are changing.
Look, we see the ever-changing news cycle.
When we started this this show, uh, this is uh just shows you how crazy things are.
We know that there's hostages potentially about to be released in Israel.
Uh we know when we started this broadcast, there was talks of there being a terrorist attack in Niagara Falls.
In Niagara Falls, and now that seems to be you've even seen the news and the news television networks all start shifting off it because now it seems like maybe that wasn't the case.
Uh it's a it's a constantly evolving situation in this world.
But one thing's for sure, whether it's what's happening in the middle east with everything in America, it's chaotic.
Yeah.
Uh it it feels uh out of whack.
It feels not normal.
Well, we want to give you a little sense of that normalcy uh with this movie.
And again, I want to thank Sean Hannity as well for letting us take over the show today.
Uh and spend some time talking about it because uh it really is a special time for us.
We worked really hard on it.
Uh whether it's the incredible cast, you just heard from Brad, you've heard from Victoria, uh, from John and from Ben, and just incredible other members of the cast as well.
Jim Brewer and James Storm and uh Dylan Postel, and just I mean, I could go through the whole Jacqueline Stapp, my wife, Amanda, uh, Jordan's wife, Anna, Jordan makes a brief cameo in it as well.
You're in and uh brief, he makes a good size cameo.
You're in it.
Uh I make a c I have to say I'm in this movie.
The least.
And in the least, no one recognizes me.
I think because I'm in I will just tell you this.
If you're watching this movie, I'm in the very first scene of the movie.
But people don't catch it because they think they're focused on I'm like more like an extra.
Uh, but you hear my voice a few times throughout.
So listen in the hospital scene, maybe you'll hear from me.
Uh listen to at the end.
There's some old movies that play that with that uh we had uh uh Jordan's daughters in it as well as uh Andy Oconimo from our team is in it.
Yes, gameplay a judge.
And you'll hear a vo a voiceover uh coming from me.
You'll also hear a lot of little cameos if you just pay attention to what's going on in the sound, including Governor Mike Huckabee.
Uh Sean.
And of course, Sean's in it.
He opens it up.
He opens it and really kind of closes it.
He's in the movie quite a bit.
