When 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.
Well we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound We'll all be blind.
How then a jail.
And if you want a little bang in the yin yang, come along.
President Biden, what is his job approval rating?
We measure it now at 40% with 57% disapproving the 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, Keep your data.
You might get having the job I'm looking for.
And over the past two years along, we've seized enough fentanyl to kill 270 million Americans.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming.
To your centi.
Don't play our kids and say new a conscious song.
Sean Hannity Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
All right, our two Sean Hannity show.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, 800-941 Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh so as this prisoner exchange has been unfolding in anticipation of how long it might go on or whether or not the ceasefire ultimately ends for good.
Very odd that Joe Biden actually believes that he's one of the reasons that Hamas attacked Israel was because he was trying to bring peace to the region.
I guess he's he's he's the cause of the attack.
It's kind of a bizarre statement.
listen.
I'm hearing a lot, but I'm not gonna speak to it right now.
There's an overwhelming desire on the part of the region to let me back up.
Um I cannot prove what I'm about to say.
But I believe one of the reasons why Hamas struck when they did, was they knew that I was working very closely with the Saudis and others in the region to bring peace to the region by having recognition of Israel and Israel's right to exist.
You may recall when we did the G20 about a little while ago.
I was able to get a resolution of a statement passed through there saying we're gonna build a railroad from Riyadh all the way through the Middle East into Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc.
and all the way up to Europe.
Not the not the railroad, but it would be an underground pipeline and then railroad.
The whole idea is there's overwhelming interest, and I think most our nations know it, and coordinating with one another to change the dynamic in their region for longer term peace.
And uh that is uh what I'm gonna continue to work on.
Thank you all very, very much.
I appreciate it.
Now there was a British reporter named Catherine Far Foster, uh detailing what was nothing but the violent harassment as the rabid anti-Semitism around the world continues, in this case Great Britain, uh during what they call the pro-Palestinian protests, where all these chants are made about the destruction of Israel from the river to the sea, etc.
etc.
Uh, listen to her description of what she experienced during this protest.
In the last hour or so, we, the cameraman, our backwatcher who's here to keep us safe, had really quite an unpleasant experience.
Um, a guy on a tanaway shouting at us, wanted to know who were broadcasting from.
He wouldn't go away.
He was very persistent.
Eventually, I said GB News.
At that point, he just I can't tell you what he said, but it was vile, fascist, um, etc.
A group of people came round us all shouting us.
I have to say, it was very intimidating.
I was shaken by the end of it.
Um we then moved um to a completely different place, and at the end of that live Lombard he appeared.
Again, the police spoke to him, and he's been moved on.
Uh, we've been told to to stay here, and we're filing um um uh a police report.
Now we are learning an awful lot about some of the details and the harsh conditions that even young children and uh older people that were taken hostage have had to face under the terror group Hamas.
Uh not particular uh not particularly uh uh comforting uh in terms of they weren't fed regularly, uh they were kept in very confined areas.
Uh they were kept for days on and where they didn't get food, or the only food they got would be Peter bread or something like that.
Uh this is even young children, the the four-year-old American that was released.
That story is heartbreaking, uh, as all get out, but uh at least she is now free.
Her parents were killed on the October 7th attack.
Uh the other food that they had were rice and bread, and for the most part, uh they, you know, she said that when they wanted to go to the bathroom, they had to knock on a door.
Sometimes, you know, they were waiting for it to be open, sometimes they were waiting for one and a half hours, two hours simply to go to the bathroom.
Uh and you know, the the sickest part of all of this is the idea that that somehow there is a comparison.
You have convicted terrorists, three to one being released by Israel to get back one Israeli or American hostage.
Uh, and somehow there are people defending that that fundamental unfairness.
Anyway, here to weigh in on all of this, David Schoen, civil rights attorney and Joel Pollack, senior editor at large at Breitbart News.
All right, David Schoen, what you what what's your take on all of this?
Listen, it's a sick sick process.
You're talking about negotiating with terrorists about human lives.
They're releasing them in drips and drabs, they're holding a one-month-old, a nine-year-old was separated from her mother.
These are barbarians, these are monsters.
Uh, it's a horrible process.
But you're right.
If you're a parent of one of these children or your family member of somebody being held, you want them released.
But in Israel is great patriotism, and they also have uh a sense of the larger uh process here.
But uh make no stick mistake about it.
These are terrorists, and quite frankly, a boss's group with Fatah is no better.
Um the polls are showing today outrageous support for look, seventy-five percent Palestinians.
This is an Arab poll done by an Arab-controlled group.
Seventy-five percent of Palestinians, eighty-three percent in the Judean Samaria, what is called the West Bank, support the atrocities of October 7th.
Seventy-four point seven say they want a Palestine from the river to the sea, extinction of Israel.
Eighty-five point nine reject any coexistence with Israel.
And the most popular groups of all are Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fatak Al-Aqsa Martha, um uh Hamas's military wing, eighty-eight point six percent of Al Qasim Brigade.
There's no hope of dealing with these folks.
And as the Wall Street Journal said today, Hamas is playing the world.
With the release of some hostages and the terrible crying scenes, the world wants more release.
The world now is uh gearing up again.
Stop the destruction of civilians.
So Hamas knew from the start they play the world with using human shields, civilians to be bombed, and then they talk about the numbers being killed.
You know, you raised something a while ago about uh these terrorists being released.
You realize that nine of them are gonna be paid pay for slave money.
They talk about teenagers uh being released from Israeli prisons as if there's some equivalence.
Well, you know who their teenagers are?
Their teenagers are sixteen-year-old Mara Al-Bakri who stabbed an Israeli border policeman, fourteen and sixteen-year-old uh terrorists who cousins who stabbed a 70-year-old.
Those are their teenagers.
I can go on and on with the list.
The teenagers Hamas is holding are innocent civilians, babies, teenagers, grandmothers, people denied their medical care, people who are raped, mutilated, tortured, on and on and on.
There is no equivalence.
You know, as I bring Joel Polakin and Joel and David, we've all we've all been friends for a long time here.
And the fact that we've seen this this hatred, this this anti-Semitism worldwide, and the numbers that we're seeing it, where we're seeing it, not just in in Europe and Great Britain and Australia.
Never thought I'd hear a chant out of Austr Australia gas the Jews F the Jews, but we're hearing that.
Uh I never thought we'd we'd see it in mass in the streets of cities all over this country or in college campuses or in the halls of Congress, Joel Pollock, but but we're seeing it, we're hearing it, and the justifications are sickening.
It's really frightening what's going on, and just over the weekend there was another anti-Semitic attack on a pizzeria in Skokie, Illinois, where I grew up.
And you're right, the justifications are unbelievable, and we're seeing it at the highest level.
This is not some sort of, you know, uh low-level anti-Semitism.
It's happening at the elite institutions, it's happening at Harvard, at Penn, at Columbia, it's happening in the halls of Congress.
This is what's really disturbing about it is that it's coming from people who are the elite of our society who think that they have the right to rule.
Well, why is it happening?
Is this is this undertone been there for a long time?
We we've known that it has been in the UN and all these, you know, globalist organizations, the UN in particular, the comments of the UN general secretary were just absolutely sickening to me along the lines of what we're talking about here.
Well, let me say a word or two about why it's happening on college campuses.
The reason it's happening there, and and this was a feeling expressed to me by the head of Tel Aviv University or one of the heads of Tel Aviv University when I interviewed him in Israel.
The reason is that kids are being taught to hate America.
So when you teach students that America is evil, that everything Americans have is because we stole it from somebody else, or because we are colonial evil oppressors, then that's the prism they use to interpret events around the world.
And when they look at Israel's success as a flourishing, democratic, prosperous, high-tech society, they don't look at that and say, let's emulate that, or let's try to teach other people around the world how to do that.
They look at that and they regard it with hatred and resentment.
So when you teach kids to hate America, really to hate themselves, it's a very short hop to hating other people, and it's an outgrowth of that anti-Americanism that you're seeing in the anti-Semitism on campus.
So I guess my next question is I I know we have a very public Joe Biden, and then there's the private Joe Biden that admits that you know he's been putting pressure on Israel, David Shone to to have a pause, and I know there are people that are saying that they want this pause to continue indefinitely.
Um I I don't think that's plausible considering what the stated goal of Hamas is and what their actions have been over the last, you know, decades to be honest, and Islamic jihad and then Hezbollah out of Lebanon and the north.
Uh to me, victory has got to be defy defined.
The Gaza could no longer be a launching area for any more of their missiles into Israel, and it has to also be defined as Hezbollah could no longer use Lebanon as a launching pad for missiles into Israel.
And I hate to say it, at some point, some time, some place, somewhere, somebody's gonna have to deal with Iran that has been fomenting and plotting and planning and scheming and training and providing the weaponry for all of this.
Oh, 100% right.
I mean, there's no question it all comes from Iran.
But there's also, you know, localized, on the ground, simply raw hatred and respect for Um remember, these innocents who were killed in Gaza and so on, were just the day before cheering in the streets, uh cheering the raping, the mutilating.
I saw an interview with one woman uh from Gaza City who said she welcomes them using them as human shields because she's patriotic for her people.
So I got an email today from the foreign ministry assuring that they're going to continue with their goal.
Yes, it's true, there's tremendous domestic pressure and international pressure for a pause to release hostages.
Every hostage is precious.
There's no question about it.
But Israel is committed to fulfilling its goals.
I do believe the U.S. is putting increasing pressure on them through the Biden administration.
I believe the administration is weakening, unfortunately.
Um they're gonna call more for the ceasefire because they're getting international pressure.
Biden apologized today for not accepting Hamas's numbers of casualties.
No one would accept those numbers.
We see videos on the internet of them staging people who are supposed to be dead, and then the next moment they jump up because they think the scene is finished filming.
They've been using Red Cross ambulances for arms uh transportation for years and all that.
The UN is fully complicit in this.
He apologized to Muslim American leaders for questioning Hamas's death toll, but I'll tell you what he didn't bring up is that almost every major media organization in this country got wrong and blamed Israel for something they didn't do, which was bomb a hospital and kill five hundred doctors, nurses, and patients.
Uh, as a matter of fact, that missile came from the Islamic Shihad and it didn't hit the hospital.
Uh, and then to add insult to injury, we now know that terror tunnels and their base of operations were dug underneath the hospitals so that they could use those hospitals as shields.
Listen, the hostages are reporting Sinwar, the mastermind, if you can call it that, of this sick set of atrocities, met with them, and he arrived through a tunnel to meet with them.
Um Israel's got to return to its original policy of finding these people wherever they are and taking them out.
These are monsters, they're barbarians, they're people who have no respect for law and order or civilized society.
All right, quick break more with Joel Pollock and David Schoen on the latest out of the Middle East in Israel.

Yeah, that's right.
Locker up.
listen to fiasco benghazi on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we continue with david shown and our friend joe pollack discussing the very latest out of the middle east and israel You know, David, as I as we talk about this, look at the condition of the latest on this four-year-old little, you know, American girl that was freed.
Her parents were murdered right in front of her.
Apparently her father saved her life.
Uh, and she did have two siblings that were able to hide and and and they are free and they've been reunited, but they'll none of them will ever see their their parents again.
You're right.
None of them will ever be the same again.
So many of these people excuse me, will never be the same again because of what these terrorists did.
Um, unprovoked violence targeting civilians.
And look, they're sending rockets every day around Israel, targeting civilians.
People talk about war crimes by Israel.
Israel is the only army in the world that has a lawyer assigned to each brigade that goes out before each operation to make sure they're complying with uh international humanitarian law.
If you're a terrorist and you take 12 people and you hide under the beds of a school, you give license to the enemy to attack that school.
It simply loses its protective status, and the people there well know it.
Final word, Joel Pollack.
I think that we have to heed the words of Yeshiel Lighter, who is a rabbi who moved to Israel and lost his son, Moshe Leiter.
I was actually at the funeral when he was at least arrested at the Mount Hertzl military cemetery, and he delivered a eulogy in Hebrew, but then he broke into English to read a letter he wrote to President Biden.
And he said, President Biden, do not pressure Israel to stop this war.
We have to win this war.
We don't have a choice.
We have to get rid of Hamas as a threat to Israeli civilians.
And I hope the Biden administration was listening, because if the terrorists are able to survive after this war, then none of us will be safe.
All of the radical terrorist groups around the world will take heart from Hamas's survival.
And the only way this can end well is with the destruction of Hamas.
The destruction of Hamas, frankly, Hezbollah deserves the same destruction.
They've been firing missiles from the north.
Uh for now decades going into this innocent country.
That that has to stop.
If they want this to end and end forever, they have to win the war.
And a pause is fine.
I I want those hostages released as much as anybody.
But after that's done, then the war gets back to then the Israelis will have to get back to work.
There's no doubt about it.
David Shon, thank you.
Joel Pollock, thank you.

All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Let's say hi.
We have Joel in Kentucky.
Uh, Joel, happy Monday.
Glad you checked in.
How are you, sir?
I'm fine.
I'm I'm real fine.
I've been a fan of yours since Hannity and Combs' days, and I never thought I'd be talking to you.
Well, it's an honor that you called, honor to talk to you.
Thank you for sticking with me, and and I hope I'm uh meeting your standards every day.
Yes, you are.
What's on your mind today?
Well, um, last week you made mention of the fact something about uh the Biden administration is trying to downplay or back away from that term bidynomics.
Apparently nobody's buying it anymore if they ever did.
And the closer we get to the election, it's harder for them to sell it.
So it something went off in my mind when I when I heard that, you know, uh about Herbert Hoover.
And I started to uh look up some things, you know, during the stock market crash in 29.
He got the blame for it.
He'd only been in office about seven months, but but it happened on his watch that he took the blame.
And people uh they lost their homes either because they defaulted on the mortgages or couldn't pay the rent.
And Shandy Towns sprang up all across America, and they became known as Hoover Bills.
Now, when when I watch the evening news these days, you know, what we see is a big dose of of uh encampments on city streets and everything.
I started calling them Biden bills back in around August.
Um every day we get footage of this.
Uh we see uh the encampments on the streets and and uh they're they're being paid for with good, you know, they're they have government supplied tents, and uh they're shooting up with government supplied needles, which was at least clean the first time they used them.
And everything spread all kinds of diseases.
Yeah, this is what I call Biden bills.
And the thing is it is too.
We're paying for all this through our tax dollars.
You got no say so in the matter.
And then again, at the same time, cities like New York, we see veterans being addicted to subsidized housing in order to accommodate people who are here illegally.
And where do these guys go?
Again, you know, are they are they living in Bidenville's now?
But the thing is, you know, between now and the election time, we need people like yourself and Lauren Inglem and Jesse Ward as those who have bully pulpits, both on radio and TV, to get the word out and make Biden bills a part of our psyche, our political and economic lexicon.
And and just drive it in from now through the election and beyond if necessary.
I just appreciate you uh Well, let me ask you a question.
Did you ever watch the movie Cinderella Man?
So it's based on a true story.
No, I no, I didn't.
I watched very few movies.
Let me tell you, it's it's worth your time.
If you can get a copy, you get uh I don't know if you have Prime Video, but you can you can buy it on Prime or you know, wherever you buy movies, Apple, I'm sure you could probably buy it anywhere.
You should watch it because it's the story of those times and how hard and harsh that they were.
And interestingly for me, for my own family history, you know, this is the era in which both my parents grew up.
They my father grew up during the depression, and they lived it and they grew up poor, and and they were desperate times.
And it it tells a story about very famous boxer.
Anyway, I don't I don't want to give the whole story away, but it would be definitely worth your time.
And one night he's looking for a friend of his in Hooverville.
Um, you know, he tries to get jobs on the docks, they only pick three or four people, this you know, fifty people wanting to be picked on any given day, and and they just can't make ends meet.
And if you watch that movie and you see that that was reality, and now we're looking at Americans now.
There's a story that came out just today that American borrowers are getting closer and closer to maxing out their credit card utilization and what the delinquency rates are on the rise.
Uh you look at people, you know, that they they're just not making ends meet, a minimum of nearly two-thirds of this country now living paycheck to paycheck.
They want to call it Bidenomics, fine, call it Bidenomics.
But even, you know, even Democrats, even the Washington Post, uh Leanne Caldwell said that Bidenomics has now become a negative word with the Democratic Party as Biden has struggled to get his economic message across to translate with voters.
And the reason has been is he's been out of touch with reality.
You know, he's been out of touch with his own inflation costs.
He's been out of touch with uh the higher gas prices, the impact that has on every product we buy in every store we go to.
He's not living in our world.
Existing home sales now have fallen to their lowest level since the Obama Biden recession.
You see, more people now struggling to make ends meet than ever before.
These are tough times for a lot of people.
And if this continues and if past precedence holds and peace and prosperity elect presidents, well, he's not looking too good, and I think his poll numbers have been showing that.
Anyway, my friend, appreciate the call.
Glad you're out there.
800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, JD out in California.
JD, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Yeah, appreciate you taking my call, Sean.
Thoughts on you hosting uh DeSantis and uh Newsom.
Uh obviously, you know, I'm not here in California.
We're not happy with that person.
Um my thoughts are it's not a good idea to give uh newsome uh a national audience, which is obviously what you plan on doing.
I'll tell you, um Ron is not that guy right now.
I can see him in the future potentially running again for president.
I mean, it's obvious where he's not at it in the polls.
Um, you know, it'd be nice if he's doing better, but you know, I'm uh I'm for Trump all the way.
But um, yeah, I'm just just not thinking that's really a good idea because I'll tell you, this guy is is I mean, he's liquid and snake oil when it comes to you know him and and the way that he can uh present himself to the people out there, of course.
I'm talking about uh Newsom.
So given a number of interviews leading up to this, one was in the LA Times yesterday, and one of the things they quoted me as saying, and I've said it before, and I believe it to be accurate that if conservatives and Republicans ignore this guy, they do so to their own peril.
And and by that I mean I tend to agree with you.
I mean, i if if you're looking for central casting politician one oh one, uh you know, it's it i I mean, it's Gavin Newsom.
I mean, remember that image of him when he walked into the Oval Office of Joe Biden, Joe Biden wasn't there, flips his jacket over his shoulder.
I'm like, he's seeing himself one day in that Oval Office.
That's that's my thought.
Now I've asked him about this many times, he denies it.
But I think that Republicans better understand that there's a whole other party out there beyond Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
There was a story on uh this weekend, it was you know, featured on the Drudge Report about how the you know the the coming civil war battle between Kamala and and Gavin.
I I think there's some an awful lot of truth to that.
If Joe Biden falters or falls or bails out and is not the candidate, um, there are not many Pete.
There are a lot of people in the Democratic Party that would like to leapfrog right over Kamala Harris and bring in Gavin Newsom.
So I'm I just happen to be a believer that you need to know what you're dealing with or potentially dealing with.
And um look, I I think it's also an important moment.
How do you have one state that has uh the highest income tax and another state with no income tax?
I'm just these are fundamental, you know, governing philosophies we're discussing here.
You know, what's the downside of that?
Or one state that believes in sanctuary state status and another believes in controlling our borders and and not allowing illegal immigrants into their states and to their cities and believe in in following the rule of law, or those that believe in reimagining the police department versus those that believe in hiring more cops and making sure everybody's safe and secure.
Or those that believe in green energy versus those that want America to be fossil fuel dominant.
Right now there is a California lawsuit headed up by the governor that you know is going after oil companies saying that they've known for years that that they're they're hurting the the the planet.
Um that's gonna cost these companies a fortune, and in the end it's gonna raise the cost of things.
But honestly, this is this is their debate.
Um it happened organically.
Um and it came up in the course of my interview with Gavin Newsom.
I don't know.
I think I I I have a very different take on it.
Um it's gonna be red versus blue, state versus state.
And you gotta remember one other thing, I think that's very important, JD, and that is we always talk about the federal government, but don't underestimate the impact that state laws and state regulations have on our lives as well.
And then we have this phenomenon of migration out of blue states into red states.
Why is that?
Now I'm not gonna be answering those questions on on Thursday night, but I'll be asking a lot of those questions on Thursday night.
And then you know, you'll you'll be able to hear both sides answer, and you know, it's up to Governor DeSantis to debate Newsome.
It's not my job in this in this format.
Um I've already had my discussion with him.
Yeah, and and I and I I I understand where you're going with this, and you know, it's it's good for the show, but at the same time, I mean, you know, I'm I'm crossing my I think it's good for the country, don't you?
You think the country needs to understand why how is it we could be this divided?
Where's middle ground?
Tell me on any of the topics I mentioned, is there any middle ground that you can think of?
Well, obviously not with the newsome, but you know, you already know this, and I'm sure a lot of your audience knows this if they watch Newsom at all.
The guy, like I said, I mean, he just comes off so smooth.
It's just incredible.
I mean, it's he's very personable, very likable, no doubt, but so is Ron DeSantis.
I know them both.
Right.
All right, so let's see what happens.
You know, at the end of the day, um, I think it's gonna be if you care about the country, the direction of the country, if you if you'd like to know more about this divide that exists that is very real in the country.
I can't think of two more uh two more important people that represent the the two various ideologies and governing philosophies than these two governors.
They're two powerhouse governors here.
So we'll wait, we'll see.
And and call me back uh on Friday, let me know what you think, okay?
Yeah, I appreciate you taking the call, Sean.
Thank you.
All right, thank you.
Appreciate it.
Quick break, right back to our phones, toll-free, 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh look, ammo is expensive, it's in short supply.
You may not know that you can train without ammunition at your own house thanks to the incredible military grade technology known as Mantis X. As a matter of fact, all the best shooters in the world do the majority of their training doing what's called dry fire practice at home and the Mantis X firearms training system.
It's no ammo, it's an all-electronic way to practice and prove your shooting accuracy.
You simply attach it to your own firearm like a weapon light, and you could use it at home, you use it at the range, you get data-driven real-time feedback on your technique.
They'll guide you through drills and courses.
94% of shooters can improve within 20 minutes because of Mantis X. Mantis X is used by the Marine Corps, the Army, the Special Forces, again, military grade technology, the best part at an affordable price.
Just go to their website, you're gonna love this technology.
It's improved.
Linda's shooting dramatically.
She couldn't hit the side of a barn, and and now she's actually topped into the nineties.
I hit the whole barn now, not just one side.
I hit it all.
You hit the whole thing.
You hit the whole I hit the bone and everything.
And everything.
No animals are in it, though, just so you know, no animals were hurt in the practicing of my improvement.
That's right, because you're not firing any any any bullets.
That's correct.
That's correct.
Mantis X, M-A-N-T-I-S-X dot com, mantisx dot com.
Final hour roundup is next.
You do not want to miss it.
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
Back to our busy phones.
Harry's in the free state of Florida.
Harry, how are you?
Glad you called.
You mean Barry?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Says Harry in my eyes.
Maybe I can't see anymore.
I'm getting like Biden.
What's going on?
That's all right.
Sean, God bless you.
I love you.
Something really ticked me off yesterday.
And I'm a conservative Republican.
I'm sorry to think like you.
I'm more conservative than Republican.
I I don't understand why eight Republicans in the House voted against a resolution to impeach my orchis.
The guy I've watched every one of those hearings in the House and the Senate.
The guy lies through his teeth.
He denies everything, and he says everything's under control.
And remember, it was uh Biden who called for the surge while he was running for office.
And you know, he this is uh we have uh people like uh Daryl Issa, one of the eight, who supposedly uh a law and order guy, and he votes against the resolution.
You got a uh Congressman named Duarte said, we ought to best spend better time uh looking to uh take care of the fiscal and budget areas.
The fiscal and budget areas has already been answered because uh uh uh Janet Yellen borrowed from the Federal Reserve 776 billion dollars for this last quarter of the year, and eight hundred and seventy-seven billion dollars for the next year.
So they've baked that pie in already, and to talk about you know, spending cuts and all that is ludicrous.
But I'm getting back to what I was talking about.
This president has colluded with the communist Chinese and the drug cartels.
He had the communist Chinese getting $50 billion a day and fentanyl and other drugs going into this country, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and my AUK is looking away and couldn't do a thing about it, couldn't care anything about it.
And eight Republicans in the House voted against the resolution.
One guy said, Well, we have to go through the committee to take to handle that.
I mean, this is bizarre, it's unreal, and it's it's uh I have other words, but I won't use it on the radio.
So it is it is amazing the more we learn from the House Ways and Means Committee, the Oversight Committee, uh, the more we learn from the Judiciary Committee.
Uh the deeper this investigation goes, the more I realize that it it was very apparent to me that this Biden family doing business with all of the top geopolitical foes of this country is is beyond anything I think I've ever seen in my lifetime politically, and I think it's going to come to a head, and that will be next year.
Democrats, they're looking forward to putting Donald Trump on trial.
Well, I want to see what Republicans do when it comes to holding Joe Biden accountable for Biden's involvement in something he said he'd never even discussed with his family, his son, his brother, or anybody.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
