	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.
	We measure it now at 40% with 57% disapproving of significance.
	That is the lowest President Biden has ever measured in our poll.
	I want to talk about Governor Newsom.
	I want to thank him.
	He's been one hell of a governor, man.
	Matter of fact, he could do anything you want.
	He could have the job I'm looking for.
	And over the past two years alone, we've seized enough fentanyl to kill 270 million Americans.
	Freedom is back in style.
	Welcome to the revolution.
	Where we're coming to your city.
	Going to play our guitars and sing you a country song.
	Sean Hannity.

	More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
	All right.
	Thank you, Scott Chan, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
	Write down our toll-free telephone number.
	It's 800-941-Sean.
	If you want to be a part of the program.
	All right.
	Did everybody have a good Thanksgiving?
	Linda, you have a good Thanksgiving.
	Dude, thank you for asking.
	How was yours?
	Mine was very good.
	Uncle James Fright the Toikey this year.
	Oh, God.
	Are you still doing that?
	Yeah, of course.
	What do you mean, am I still doing that?
	Of course.
	The only way to eat turkey.
	Well, probably.
	Well, it's also when you're like, it's like the one day you're off your diet as well.
	Not necessarily.
	Long pause.
	Not necessarily.
	I think I came in the same weight the next day when I get on the scale.
	I've been very committed the last six months to getting in the way I possibly can.
	No question.
	For me, it's about health.
	It's not about vanity.
	Anyway, we start out today with some bad news.
	This is really sad, especially after the Thanksgiving Day holiday.
	Americans under 30 don't trust religion or anything else.
	Well, I hope they don't trust government because government has not earned your trust.
	Think about that.
	What has government done that is successful?
	How's government, Social Security, and Medicare?
	How's that all working out?
	Because they're both headed towards insolvency.
	How's government doing on Obamacare promises?
	Keep your doctor, keep your plan.
	Average family saves $2,500 a year.
	They're not doing well there either.
	How's government doing educating your kids or indoctrinating now your children in your public schools?
	They're not doing great there either.
	How are their standardized test scores doing?
	Most cities, most states, not particularly well, especially compared to the industrialized world, and especially considering we pay more per capita per student than any other country on the face of the earth.
	That's not particularly good either.
	How do they do it on law and order in your city, your town?
	Now, maybe if you like Jason Aldean Dean's song, that doesn't happen in a small town or try that in a small town.
	You know, things are a little bit different.
	But in big cities, we see the violence, the murder, the shootings, the robberies, even on, what, Black Friday, all these smash robberies going on all around the country.
	I mean, it's unbelievable.
	No wonder why people spend more money than ever before buying their Christmas presents online.
	And you really can't blame people, can you?
	Because they don't want to go to a store.
	And I see more, and what's going to happen is it's going to result in a loss of jobs.
	You know, there actually are people that like to shop.
	I just happen not to be one of them.
	I hate shopping.
	I walk into a store and I'm like, every bit of energy seems drained out of my body.
	I can't stand it.
	If I do go to a store, it's because I want to get one specific or I go grocery shopping.
	I do love grocery shopping.
	That does not drain me.
	That is something of great, I don't know why.
	I like to pick out everything myself.
	So that I like to do, but I don't like shopping in the traditional sense of going out shopping.
	If somebody wants something, well, Linda will laugh at this.
	You know, when I go grocery shopping, people will ask me all the time, well, what are you doing here?
	And I'm like, I'm shopping, buying food.
	But if I really want something else and it has to be bought online, I do need to ask other people to do it.
	And that part is true.
	That is true.
	Well, I don't have a computer.
	I don't have an email account.
	I don't have access to social media.
	It is possible to do it on my phone, but I don't want to go to the store.
	It is possible, but it's often a lot more work because then you screw it up and we have to do it anyway.
	So it's usually better if you just hand it to us.
	What do you mean?
	Well, first of all, I usually don't hand it to you.
	That's not what you do.
	I didn't say me.
	I said us.
	But all the people in the grocery store that are like, well, don't you have people to do this for you?
	I actually do have people that work for me that I'll say, do you mind ordering this for me?
	And I'll send the link.
	Here's my credit card.
	Yeah, but I think you like to go to the grocery store and look at all the food you can't eat.
	You just go and you can't.
	No, it's not the food.
	You don't have to eat that.
	No, because it's not what I do at all.
	I go in, I have in my head what I want to buy.
	I know exactly where every item is because I go to the same grocery store every week.
	Or there's two stores that I go to.
	Well, actually, three.
	I choose between the three of them because they all have one or two items that the other store doesn't have that I like to have.
	So true.
	Which is kind of odd because you'd think every grocery store has the same thing, right?
	Well, that's not true.
	You would, but you're totally right.
	You know, it goes against every instinct in my body.
	And I've been watching the prisoner transfer and this, you know, ceasefire.
	We have new images of hostages that were just released.
	So I assume that means that the ceasefire, temporary ceasefire will continue.
	I was watching the release of this American girl, four years old, the sad story that on October 7th, you know, here comes Hamas terrorists.
	They kill her mother and father.
	She has a brother and a sister hiding somewhere, and they thankfully didn't find them.
	They took a four-year-old little girl.
	It's an American girl, happened to be an Israel hostage.
	Her parents are dead.
	And anyway, she's been held hostage ever since.
	We're learning about the conditions that they've been living under, these hostages.
	You know, one of the cousins of released hostages was saying how scarce food was, how hostages were sleeping on plastic benches, how they had to wait up to two hours before even being allowed to use the bathroom, eating but not eating regularly, not all the time.
	There were days where they didn't get food.
	They couldn't even move.
	The food they were getting were like pita bread, things like that.
	And, you know, it's most of them lost significant amounts of weight.
	And, you know, you got to worry in situations like that about what their medical condition is.
	They did get rice occasionally on top of the pita bread.
	But if you wanted to go to the bathroom, you had to knock on a door.
	And then sometimes, you know, they'd be waiting for the door to be open.
	Sometimes they were waiting, you know, one and a half, two hours just to go to the bathroom.
	And they were sleeping on benches in like a reception room.
	Some people were underground in these tunnels.
	And it's just the whole thing is just pathetic.
	Now, I know that there are people out there, and there's a part of me that knows in my heart that, you know, if the Israelis have to give up three terrorists that have been convicted that are being held in Israeli prisons in exchange for one innocent hostage, that's frustrating to me.
	But then I try to put myself in the position of the families that want their loved ones back.
	And I'm like, I sympathize completely with them.
	And I probably, and even though in my heart, I know that if you make deals for hostages, you often end up with more hostage taking, or certainly the risk goes up.
	But I want to see every single hostage freed, and I want to see these families reunited.
	And I kind of have the feeling that what Hamas is going to try to do here is drag this out as long as they can because they're going to try and rearm and recalibrate their war strategy against Israel and probably come back and try and do it again.
	So there's a part of me that worries about that aspect of it.
	At the end of this, at some point, Israel is going to have to win the war.
	And Prime Minister Netanyahu's entire war cabinet have stated repeatedly that they are on top of that.
	We have more examples, by the way, of anti-Semitism among top Democrats.
	This one in North Carolina, leader of the North Carolina Progressive Democratic Caucus, saying that the Jewish caucuses affiliating with the party would end it.
	Anyway, Ryan Jenkins is the president of the Tar Heel State's Progressive Caucus attacking the North Carolina Democratic Jewish Caucus after the group was denied affiliation with the state's Democratic Party.
	He said the members of the Jewish group are attacking every single person who either didn't attend or they're threatening people who voted to abstain.
	If the Democratic Party caves to it, that's the end of the Democratic Party, he said.
	We're not Democrats.
	We're the Jewish caucus.
	We're a Zionist group because they control everything.
	Oh, the Jews control everything.
	I wouldn't say that that is a trope of any kind or an example of rabid anti-Semitism by yet another Democrat.
	On top of that, we even had Congresswoman Tlaib making more stupid comments even after her censure.
	So that obviously meant nothing to her.
	And I have no idea why this happened, but it did.
	But Joe Biden is out there apologizing to Muslim American leaders for questioning the Hamas death toll.
	Well, we know for a fact this is what they have done for years.
	We know Hamas and these terror organizations, they are notorious for number one, they're using the Palestinian people's human shields.
	We know that in more detail than ever before.
	We know that they love to fire their rockets into Israel, especially from schools and from hospitals, because they're using schools and hospitals as shields so that they can then say if Israel strikes back, oh, see, they blew up a school, see, they blew up a hospital.
	Look how quickly the world's media was willing to jump in without any facts, any truth behind it, and blame Israel for firing a rocket just because the Palestinians said so, that took out a hospital and killed 500 doctors and patients and nurses.
	The hospital was never hit with a rocket.
	Now, the adjacent parking lot was hit with a rocket, but the rocket we know now was fired by the Islamic Jihad.
	Of course, no consequences.
	So, I'm not exactly sure why Biden is offering an apology to Muslim American leaders for questioning Hamas's death toll.
	Hamas is a terror group that uses human shields all the time at its very core lies because they were the ones that were lying to the gullible mob in the media in this country.
	Oh, by the way, I got some news that I just have to share, Linda.
	You're going to love this.
	So, we have not talked about Humpty, Humpty Dumpty, in a long time.
	Had a great fall, was fired from fake news.
	CNN, remember him?
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, he came out with a new book.
	He did.
	What did he write about?
	Well, I didn't read the book.
	I only read this asinine excerpt of his.
	He actually thinks he knows who my sources are.
	He actually thinks that he knows exactly what I know.
	And then, on the other hand, he's out there.
	You can't even make this stuff.
	He's so stupid.
	And the media is so gullible to go along with this stupidity.
	But he actually claims that I know so much more about what's going on or knew about what was going on in Donald Trump's brain.
	He has no idea whether I ever even talked to the guy.
	But he can just speculate, lie, make it up, make pretend.
	He did that all the way on the Russian hoax.
	He should be held accountable for that, too.
	Anyway, so it comes out with this book.
	This is now the second major book this fall that has been released attacking Fox.
	Now, the numbers are in.
	It's not a New York Times bestseller.
	It sold a whopping 3,807 copies.
	That's nationwide, Linda.
	That is an unmitigated disaster for any publisher.
	I got to be honest.
	I mean, I didn't know that guy could spell sources, let alone talk about them with any sort of authority.
	I mean, it's to host a show, Unreliable Liberal Sources.
	I don't even know the name of his show, to be honest with you.
	I mean, he's just ridiculous.
	All right, but he's just a liar.
	And this is like his second book on Fox.
	The first book didn't do well either.
	He right now is, you know, imagine this.
	And thankfully, I'm not writing any more books, but I wrote one after 10 years.
	Don't say that.
	You always say that.
	Don't say that.
	I said it, and then I waited 10 years before.
	Anyway.
	And then you did it.
	Okay, but it was number one on the New York Times bestseller list for many, many years.
	It was indeed.
	It was just like the other books that I've written.
	And then Michael Wolf wrote a book.
	He wrote about stuff about me because somebody sent it to me.
	I'm like, that's total BS.
	There's not one word of truth in what he's saying.
	It's basically clickbait for books.
	That's what they do.
	They mention your name in the hopes of selling something.
	Okay, so right now, if you go on Amazon at the time of this writing on Mediaite, On Amazon bestsellers list, he's 6,638.
	I mean, how do you fail that spectacularly and keep writing books and not be totally humiliated and embarrassed?
	Or Michael Wolf, he actually sold less books with his anti-Fox screed at 3,219 books.
	And I know for a fact, the specific things people sent me that he said about me are just false.
	Flat out false.
	There's not one true thing about it.
	Did anybody reach out to you for comment?
	No, never.
	Shocker.
	What a shocker.
	What a shocker.
	You know, so I never talk about these books when they're released or pay attention to them because I know they're going to fail and I just enjoy shoving it in their face because if you're not embarrassed about how horrible a writer you must be and how uninteresting you are and how lacking in credibility you are at that point, I mean, because they think so much of themselves, that's the one thing these two have in common.
	And both kind of look like Humpty Dumpty twins.
	Anyway, 800-941-Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.

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

	Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
	I'll tell you one thing that nobody seems to be talking about.
	There have now been over 75 attacks against Americans in Syria, Iraq, and other areas in the region, and now another aggressive action by the Chinese Navy in the South China Sea against America's Navy.
	And these are international waterways.
	And nothing seems to ever happen.
	It doesn't matter what China ever does.
	It doesn't seem to matter what the mullows in Iran ever do.
	Biden appointed a suspected Iranian spy to a top defense intelligence post, according to Miranda Devine in an article she put out in the New York Post.
	You know, what, $60 billion in sanctions relief and unfrozen assets?
	Why would we be surprised?
	No consequences for the spy balloon, intellectual property theft, no consequences for unfair trade practices, no consequences at all with China's aggression against Taiwan, China's aggression against our air force and international airspace, our navy and international waterways.
	Why?
	I don't know.
	Could it maybe, possibly have something to do with what the Chinese may have on the Biden family syndicate, knowing that they got tens of millions of dollars from them?
	We now know, according to James Gomer.
	Keeping Uncle Sam accountable to you every day.
	Hannity is on.
	I-25's at the top of the hour.
	Just like the Biden administration won't confront China.
	They're not confronting Iran either.
	They're doing just the opposite.
	Matter of fact, we have another bought and paid for attack by Iran against us, the United States, this time an American destroyer in the Mideast.
	We had two ballistic missiles fired by the Houthi rebels controlling Yemen.
	That is an Iranian-backed proxy war.
	But anyway, the U.S. Navy responded to a distress call from a commercial tanker that had been seized by armed individuals, according to the U.S. military.
	The tanker identified as the Central Park had been carrying a cargo of Phosphoric acid when the crew called for help, that they were under attack from an unknown entity.
	And anyway, the Pentagon spokesman said that under international maritime norms and laws, when there is a distress signal, all vessels in the vicinity are required to come and help and support.
	The writer added that there were three Chinese Navy vessels in the vicinity that did not respond.
	Now, supposedly, those ships are there as part of a counterpiracy mission, but they didn't respond to this, and we did.
	Any consequences?
	No.
	I mentioned Congresswoman Tlaib recently censured, apparently being censured by the House for her from the river to the sea, basically wiped Israel off the map message.
	Didn't make much of an impression on her because days after a bipartisan group of lawmakers anyway did this.
	Anyway, she was out there speaking at a candlelight vigil in Detroit, urging a ceasefire in Gaza and also spoke to at a pro-Hamas event after being censored, according to reports.
	Great, great, great news.
	Let me play one thing in a second.
	I want to play Joe Biden actually claiming that the economy is doing great.
	But first of all, we do want to remind you that our friends at blinds.com, all right, you can deck your halls and your guest room with premium new window coverings from blinds.com.

	All right, let me go to this tape if I can.
	This is Joe Biden actually saying that the cost of food and groceries are down, and I don't know one person who would agree with that.
	Listen, there was a conversation at the kitchen table.
	I mean, literally, not physically.
	Those conversations have been going on at kitchen tables all across America for a while now.
	The conversation, the conversation about whether we'd have enough left over at the end of the month for my dad to be able, he used to say, have a little bit of breathing room.
	Well, this past week, as Americans gathered around their own kitchen tables for Thanksgiving dinner, that was our goal to give them a little more breathing room.
	And together, we made progress.
	You know, from turkey to air travel to tank of gas, costs went down.
	They went down.
	No, the cost of gas is up, Joe.
	It's up significantly.
	And then this probably takes the cake because then Carrine Jean-Pierre, your White House press secretary, she's blaming the turmoil in the economy because the Trump administration, you know, the best economy in American history until they pushed COVID to steal whatever.
	Listen to this.
	Why do you think it is that when you say the economy is improving and President Biden says the economy is improving, that a majority of Americans outside of this building are not buying it?
	So here's the thing.
	When we walked into this administration, the economy was on a tailspin.
	That is the fact.
	Because of the last administration, because of the Trump administration, because of how they dealt with COVID and the pandemic, because they didn't have a comprehensive plan.
	The president came in, he passed the American Rescue Plan, which was able to get the economy back on its feet, which was able to open up.
	Small businesses were able to open up.
	Schools were able to open up.
	And we understand what Americans have been feeling over the last two, three years.
	It's going to take some time.
	We get that.
	It's going to take some time.
	But it does not take away how we have seen the economy getting back on its feet.
	We actually had to fix the problem that we saw that the last administration left.
	All right.
	Well, that's what they're saying.
	And then now that three years in, they're going to, what, blame the Trump administration?
	Look, for 2023 alone, according to the USDA's own website, all food prices are predicted to increase 5.8% with a prediction interval of 5.7 to 6.0%.
	And food at home prices are predicted to increase 5.2%.
	And don't forget, every item you buy at every store you go to costs more because the cost of fuel is way higher.
	Under Donald Trump, four years as president, the average price of a gallon of gasoline never reached $3 a gallon, not for one day during his time as president.
	Now, looking at different estimates, it's been changing anywhere.
	It was going up again as high as $4 a gallon, now down to about $3.70 the last time I looked.
	Food prices are going up.
	Pretty much the cost of everything you buy in every store you go to costs more.
	And now you're going to blame it on the ⁇ you're going to blame the $2 trillion in debt that they accumulated last year on the Trump administration too?
	Because that's what they're doing.
	It's pretty unbelievable.
	If you think, you know, 2024 and the 2024 elections, and you think about what are the two things that usually drive elections?
	One, well, is peace.
	Tell me where the world is peaceful.
	Europe is at war, now come under heavy fire.
	I saw Justin Trudeau trying to blame MAGA Republicans in the United States for the fact that conservatives in Canada no longer want to give Ukraine any more money.
	In large part, I think probably they're seeing what we've been seeing, which is that the money has been misappropriated, A, B, people like Joe Biden to put handcuffs on President Zielinski and any chance he would ever have to win the war by not accepting MIG jets, for example, from Poland right from the get-go, and certainly not allowing certain other weapons to be used, although they keep changing their mind back and forth.
	You know, on the economy, even the Washington Post was admitting that Bidenomics has now become, quote, a negative word within the Democratic Party.
	I mean, that was the word that Biden supposedly had planned to use for his big reelection effort on Meet the Press this weekend.
	The Washington Post Democrat literally said about Biden's low marks on the economy, the marks on the economy have been earned because the economy is atrocious because their policies have failed and they have failed spectacularly.
	It's not like it just failed a little bit.
	You know, if you look over at Thanksgiving, I saw there was a big fight.
	Some of the findings, if you look at the food price outlook for 2023 and 24, you know, the consumer price index for food, all CPI items, a measure of the economy-wide inflation, unchanged from September of 2023 to October of 2023.
	But again, it's expected to be up.
	The food away from home, restaurant purchases, et cetera, October 23, 5.4% higher than October of 2022, and they were higher in 2022.
	Food prices expected to grow a little more slowly, but predicted to increase 5.8% this year, maybe as high as 6%.
	These are their own government numbers, and yet they don't even want to own it.
	And they're not really saying Bidenomics anymore.
	So now I guess they're just going to go out and flat out lie to people.
	Well, there are other articles out there pointing to the economy showing that this is not going very well in large part because Americans, they have actually now gotten to a point where they have maxed out or are getting close to maxing out on their credit card utilization and delinquency rates are on the rise.
	And we already knew prior to this that nearly two-thirds of American families are living paycheck to paycheck.
	So Bidenomics, the word they were counting on to run on in 2024, has now become a negative term, and that's coming directly from the Washington Post.
	Existing home sales have now fallen to their lowest level since the Obama-Biden recession.
	New York's power officials now have to turn to fossil fuels as green energy is failing to keep up with demand.
	What a shocker there.
	Black Friday shoppers spent a record $9.8 billion in the U.S. Online sales are up 7.5% from last year because I think a lot of people are scared to death that they're not going to be able to go to a store without being a victim of some type of crime with all these smash and grab robberies going on all over the place.
	And it is really that bad.
	Add to that the homelessness issues involved in a lot of these areas.
	And you got yourself a problem.
	It just came out today.
	Kerry Pickett wrote this, our friend of the Washington Times, that top FBI officials that were appointed were a vocal Trump hater to oversee the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
	It's just breaking.
	Top FBI officials ordered an agent to scrub his Facebook page to delete anti-Trump vitriol before they would promote him to the head of the Bureau's Miami Field Office, which covers former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, according to a whistleblower.
	This disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee, the whistleblower, they give the name, I won't give it, was promoted earlier this year to become a special agent in charge of the Miami office.
	The whistleblower adamantly, vocally anti-Trump.
	Now, why is anybody in the FBI political in any way if justice is supposed to be blind?
	Anyway, the whistleblower said this guy adamantly, vocally was anti-Trump, said the FBI director Christopher Wray and deputy director and executive assistant director were involved in directing this guy to cleanse his social media account so they can give him their promotion.
	Does that sound like they care about how the FBI has been politicized and the investigation by the Judiciary Committee and how they've been weaponized?
	Interesting political article, how Democrats are panicking about the wrong thing.
	And they're saying that all these polls showing that Joe Biden is trailing all these candidates, they claim is not worth much.
	There may be some truth to that.
	It's too early.
	Voters didn't see it that way.
	They like that something was a little cheaper.
	Moreover, the toll cuts reinforced a key of, and they're talking about IRI Hogan's first campaign, et cetera, et cetera.
	That's not how most Americans are seeing it.
	Two-thirds of the American people, almost two-thirds now, are living paycheck to paycheck.
	What's going to be interesting, what's going to be interesting is what comes out of this effort.
	There is real fear and real paranoia.
	By the way, the Educational Secretary Miguel Cardona said, I think it was Reagan who said, we're from the government.
	We're here to help.
	We're going to set up follow-up calls with every governor we met with to make sure we're available.
	As I think it was President Reagan said, we're from the government.
	We're here to help.
	There are resources there.
	There's technical assistance there.
	And there's a playbook that could support the work you're doing.
	Count on us as a partner in this.
	Our students are waiting.
	Thank you.
	Reagan warned that the worst words you can hear is, I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
	Reagan said it in just the opposite way.
	But, you know, don't expect Democrats to actually be deep-thinking people.
	There is more articles out there how Biden's poll numbers get worse and worse and worse.
	Starting with the New York Times, Sienna, a college poll showing Trump ahead in four swing states, followed by another poll showing him ahead in five of six swing states.
	I mean, up dramatically in just about every single solitary poll that's out there.
	Even now, these polls are coming out showing Trump winning the popular vote.
	Look, I think it's too early to tell, and there's a lot that's going to happen over the next year.
	There's a lot that's going to happen as it relates to President Trump.
	He's defied up to this point all conventional political gravity when it comes to what you would think would happen if a presidential candidate gets arrested and arraigned.
	Every single time his poll numbers have gone up, they have not gone down.
	Every poll now showing the American people believe the Department of Justice of Joe Biden is weaponized and politicized.
	More and more information coming out about the Biden family syndicate and Joe Biden's direct involvement in dealing with some of our country's top geopolitical foes and the family making tens of millions of dollars.
	You know, the media tried to report that at the USC Clemson game, that Trump was booed.
	We'll play the tape later.
	Just the opposite happened.
	There was a smattering of booze when his motorcade came into the stadium, but I mean, it was like you could almost hear the individuals booing when he walked out with Governor McMaster of South Carolina to midfield during halftime.
	I mean, it was just nonstop, very loud cheering.
	i mean as a matter of fact let's play i mean the crowd went nuts

	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
	From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
