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.
Here's our toll-free number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program?
Well, we start with a little fun today.
I mean, as long as nobody got hurt, the national Christmas tree toppled to the ground at Joe Biden's White House, which I would say is rather symbolic of Joe Biden's presidency, uh, just crashing and burning.
And anyway, that's what a lot of people have been saying.
Uh, that the White House Christmas tree falling down.
Yeah, that's pretty much symbolic of Joe and his presidency and how bad it is.
And uh unfortunately, we're going down with the ship, and that's what we hopefully need to avoid.
Um, we do have some news, and I don't think a lot of people are understanding it as it relates to the Joe Biden, and it is the Joe Biden bribery and money laundering scandal allegations that we have been talking about.
And I I got an update because we had on uh James Comer last night on on Hannity, and I don't think a lot of people seem to understand it.
Greg Jarrett wrote a great piece on it, um, because Hunter Biden was served with a subpoena.
Now, a subpoena is an order.
In other words, the law compels you to comply.
You don't get to dictate the terms.
And I don't know, maybe Hunter, as usual, thinks he's above the law.
I think in the end, the the family thinking was uh just just stick this out.
We'll get somebody to give you a sweetheart deal, it'll all go away.
And they almost got there.
They came very, very close.
And the fact that the statute of limitations were allowed to run out on the tax years as it relates to Barisma.
Yeah, that was that was not an accident.
Trust me.
And that wouldn't happen to anybody with the last name Trump or anybody, frankly, that was a prominent Republican or a conservative.
Anyway, so but what that means is he is trying to avoid the subpoena deposition that happens behind closed doors, and they're saying, no, no, we we would like to do it out uh publicly and just have a public hearing.
Now, James Comer, to his credit, said sure, we'll be glad to give you a public hearing, but first you have to follow the law, and the law compels you to comply.
Now, this also we have a precedent for this.
Uh Steve Bannon was served a subpoena, which would have caused him to do a closed door deposition.
Uh he was asking for a public hearing.
He wanted it to be public.
They said no, and he ended up getting, you know, charged in that particular case, as did Peter Navarro.
So now I would imagine if, in fact, Hunter Biden doesn't show up to the sworn deposition.
I would imagine that the same laws would be applied to Hunter Biden.
Uh actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't applied.
That's the problem.
Because we don't have with this Justice Department, this DOJ under Joe Biden.
It's part of his executive branch.
We don't have equal justice or equal application of our laws.
That's a big problem.
But anyway, I mean, these are going to be deep penetrating questions.
It has taken this committee months and months and months to do a deep dive digging into financial records, you know, having a difficult time even getting suspicious activity reports, finding these, what James Comer's been describing as shell corporations,
uh, where the money has come from with the shell corporations, the amount of money put into the shell corporations, uh, what what services were rendered for the tens of millions of dollars that his committee have identified as going into these shell corporations, and as he says and claims the evidence showing going to not one but ten Biden family members.
Now, by the way, financial records don't lie.
We know in the case, and and where Joe gets involved in this is Joe lied repeatedly.
Joe Biden said he never spoke to his son Hunter.
He said he never spoke to his brother.
He did said he never spoke one time to any other person about their foreign business deals.
And we know now that is absolutely a lie.
He said it as a candidate, he said it as a president.
And Joe Biden, in fact, we now know, participated, according to their partner, Devin Archer, and at least 20 phone calls with Hunter and with others, and and actually even had dinners with some of these foreign business partners like Elena Baterina from uh from Russia,
former first lady of Moscow, who by the way mysteriously was kept off uh uh the the list of uh people that were supposed to be sanctioned when Russia invaded Ukraine.
She magically didn't get included in that group.
But anyway, so the committee now has volumes of incriminating evidence, and they're going to be asking Hunter questions about what services he provided.
We know under oath, well, not under oath, we know on television he was very clear.
And he said that in fact he had no experience in energy, oil, gas, coal, Ukraine, and he certainly had no experience with China.
But yet he's getting millions of dollars from Barisma.
And then after his vice presidency, this happened during the term when he was vice president and Joe was in charge of Ukraine policy.
We we have a timeline.
The timeline is October of 2015.
Joe, the Obama administration policy, after an interagency study, decided that enough progress had been made on the issue of corruption in Ukraine that they could now move forward with one billion dollars in loan guarantees.
That was their official policies.
Then five days in December of 2015, the same year, five days before he went to Ukraine.
Well, he got a phone call.
It was his son Hunter.
Hunter was with Barisma executives.
This was at the point where they were desperately needing, quote, DC help.
In other words, what did Joe do to help them?
Because it certainly wasn't DC help, meaning Hunter's gonna help out on the DC front.
That would have to happen from Joe.
Anyway, five days later, Joe goes to Ukraine, later brags before the Council on Foreign Relations about how he leveraged one billion taxpayer dollars, demanding that the prosecutor that Barisma executives desperately wanted fired because they were being investigated, that Joe used leverage that money, got them fired within six hours.
Ukraine got their billion in loan guarantees that they were gonna get anyway, supposedly he was there to deliver, and Hunter continued to sit on the board of Barisma with no experience at a time he's admittedly been addicted to drugs and got paid millions of dollars.
And we have the WhatsApp message, another oil giant, this one out of China, CEFC, state-owned big energy conglomerate.
And sure enough, you know, why haven't you?
I'm sitting here with my father, why haven't you followed through on your commitment?
And between everybody he knows and my ability to hold the grudge, you're gonna regret not following through on your commitment.
We're sitting here waiting for your phone call.
Okay, what happens?
In the next five or six days, five million dollars was wired to one of the shell corporations.
Huh.
And anyway, so there's there's a lot of questions to ask here.
Would any other American ever get a deal like that?
No.
Then we got the 1.5 billion dollar deal with the Bank of China that we can talk about as well.
So, you know, if you understand what the law compels you to do, and the fact that, you know, we have a case where, you know, Joe Biden is, you know, or Hunter Biden wants to change the rules, that's nice.
But if he doesn't comply with the subpoena, the subpoena is an order.
The subpoena compels him to comply, and he wants to attempt to try and change the rules, fine.
The attempt has been made, and the attempt has failed.
And some people say, well, that means that that probably, you know, uh Hunter doesn't, you know, doesn't want to be behind closed doors because he feels that he he wants the public to hear everything.
That's not it at all.
Because there are things that can be said in private that cannot be said in a public hearing regarding these legal issues.
You know, I like Jonathan Turley's column today, the Biden's are best at doing exactly what the chairman wants.
Those words came from Hunter Biden to a Chinese businessman at the height of this alleged influence peddling, you know, scheme, you know, syndicate, whatever you want to call it, known as the Biden family.
And after years of delay and denials, a house, the House is about to confirm exactly what the Bidens were so good at doing, he writes, and then he says what foreign figures wanted so much that they were willing to pay the Biden's millions of dollars.
Hunter Biden is now scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee on the 7th, December 13th to answer these questions uh about what has been alleged to be the largest influence pedaling operation in the history of this country.
And despite that subpoena, he's still demanding conditions for answering questions.
Well, that's not going to fly, according to James Comer.
I don't blame Abby Lowell, who's a great attorney.
This guy got off Senator Menendez the last time he was in legal trouble.
This guy got off John Edwards when he was in legal trouble.
He represented during the whole Russia hoax stuff, Jared and Ivanka Trump.
This is a real lawyer.
However, I give him an A for effort.
However, he will be compelled to testify.
Uh, but this sense of entitlement, the idea that you can somehow dodge this, what's going to be interesting to me is if he doesn't want to testify, and he takes the route that makes the choice that Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro made, and it they knew the consequences, what the possibilities of consequences were, but they stuck by the their principles.
I give them a lot of credit for it, but it's certainly unfair because there's been so many examples of this happening, and nobody ever gets charged.
Um a California grand jury, according to ABC News, the special counsel David Weiss is using an LA-based federal grand jury to pursue their years-long tax investigation.
But David Weiss was the guy that offered the sweetheart deal in the first place.
David Weiss was the guy that didn't want to charge him at all in the first place.
Then when that got exposed, then he had the sweetheart deal that fell apart in in a court in Delaware, and everybody thought this was all going to be done and and complete and buried.
But now that's not going to happen.
And now what's interesting is Hunter Biden has friends worried that some Democrats are betting on, you know, for political expediences uh reasons that, well, the Biden family may just have to make Hunter the sacrificial lamb in all of this, that Joe had no knowledge.
All those phone calls, all those meetings at Cafe Milano had no knowledge of any of this, or the fact that we have a paper trail of monies being spent from Hunter Biden.
He claimed half his income he had to give to Pops, and then he complained bitterly about paying for Pops' home repairs.
Uh, and 10% for the big guy is Tony Bobelinski has said.
But Hunter Biden now says that he'll testify publicly, and Comer said, No, I'll let you testify publicly after you do the legally required deposition.
So, and Comer has pointed to the Democrats' treatment of people like Steve Bannon as the reason.
You know, because Comer told me last night that Biden would still get The public hearing, but the longstanding process of a congressional inquiry tip typically begins with a closed door deposition.
And you know, apparently uh Hunter's attorney, Abby Lowell suggesting that the congressional closed door sessions may have been used to manipulate or distort facts and misinform the public.
Well, usually you get a full transcript of everything that goes on there, and that was confirmed by Comer last night.
But anyway, Fox News obtained a letter of this, and uh Hunter's attorney suggesting that um, in fact, you know the closed door session may be used to uh manipulate or distort the facts and misinform the public.
Well, again, the whole thing's gonna be transcribed and handed out to the public, and that light should shine on the proceedings.
No, because there's a lot of questions you probably can't answer in public.
That's the problem.
That's a big problem.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

So we talked about this yesterday.
There was an opportunity for a standalone bill that the Republicans had put forward in the Senate that would give aid to Israel.
A lot less than what Chuck Schumer, you know, and and Democrats have given Ukraine somewhere near $80 billion at this point, and they want another 80 billion more, uh, even though I think that money should be the bulk of that money should be paid for by Europe.
And I think Joe needs to keep his hand out of telling Zelensky how to fight his own war and let him go out and win the war.
Now they're pressuring Joe Biden's pressuring Israel uh behind the scenes, even the New York Times acknowledging uh that he these Israel's getting lectured on how they should fight and win their war on terror.
Um, but anyway, so uh, you know, Chuck Schumer's out there today, it's fine that you know, gives a powerful speech on anti-Semitism, talks about well, we're never gonna, we're never gonna stop uh uh working until we get aid for Israel, but he also is demanding aid for Ukraine and aid for Taiwan and maybe border security.
Uh it doesn't go that way, Chuck.
You should have supported Israel when you had the chance yesterday.
Quick break.
Right back.
Exposing government waste and abuse of your liberties every day.
Sean Hannity is on right now.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour as 9-11 illnesses continue to take the lives all these years later, a whole generation.
You know, it's sad.
They know little to nothing about our nation's darkest day.
I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.
Anyway, the Tunnel to Towers 911 Institute has now launched an effort to right this wrong, and they are helping to educate our kids in kindergarten through twelfth grade all about 9-11.
They have their nonfiction first-person accounts, uh, and they are told through videos.
They have the Discovering Heroes book series.
Every account is moving, it's unparalleled.
Kids are not going to forget these very true stories.
And the institute offers actually for schools, full curriculum units, scripted social studies lessons, activities, backgrounds for teachers, and a speakers bureau that they make available for classrooms with access to 9-11 first responders and survivors and loved ones.
They also have their mobile exhibit, a tractor trailer, interactive museum, 9-11 uh artifacts, and the Russell F. Siller Memorial Scholarships for children of program recipients or exemplary high school students getting ready for college.
Anyway, we hope you'll join all of us here at Team Hannity and help this great mission continue.
Uh, they're doing such great work.
Uh, you can do so by committing 11 bucks a month.
Go to their website, Tunnel to Towers, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org for the tunnel to towers foundation.
Um, anyway, oh, let me, we got Schumer.
Let's play this.
Notice the significant disparity between how Jewish people regard the rise of anti-Semitism and how many of my non-Jewish friends regard it.
To us, the Jewish people, the rise of anti-Semitism is a crisis.
A five-alarm fire that must be extinguished.
For so many other people of goodwill, it is merely a problem, a matter of concern.
After October 7th, Jewish Americans are feeling singled out, targeted, and isolated in many ways.
We feel alone.
You know, he's had many opportunities to speak out against members of his own party.
Why has Chuck Schumer not done that?
This very week, he had an opportunity.
He said he made this vow that we're not going to stop working.
I won't sleep, and he goes on and on until the funding of Israel and helping them in their war effort, their war against terrorism, is complete.
But yet, when they had a standalone bill that would help Israel financially in their battle against terrorism, he was the one leading Democrats not to vote for that bill.
He cared more about the politics of getting his big bill complete and pressuring and forcing Republicans into supporting a bill with many things in it that they don't want.
Many Republicans have kind of given up on the issue of the war in Ukraine because they don't feel that, and they're right about it.
They don't feel that Europe is stepping up or doing their fair share of funding the war on their continent.
They're right about that.
We you know, we are almost matching dollar for dollar what all of Europe is paying.
And then it becomes a proxy war between Russia and the United States, one that we can't afford with $34 trillion in debt that we're putting on our kids and our grandkids.
And then, of course, then he wants money for Taiwan and maybe some money for the border.
Now, Republicans are vowing they're going to oppose all of it if they lack border security.
This is the way the swamp, the sewer in Washington works.
That's not good.
It's not good at all.
Them Republicans in the House.
Now, if Congresswoman Taleb gets to stay after her remarks about, you know, from the river to the sea, which is the annihilation of Israel, and believe me, I'm no fan of George Santos, but he is a Republican vote, and he's innocent until he's proven guilty, and they have the ethics charges.
You know, there is a chance he may be kicked out of Congress this week.
How is that possible?
But Congresswoman Taleb stays, or Bowman who pulled the fire alarm stays, or any of these other people stay.
He's been charged.
He'll have his day in court, and at that point, that's usually when people, you know, might have a little legitimate chance.
You need two-thirds of the House to throw him out of Congress.
Now, who is the I forgot the guy's name yesterday we mentioned, he's kind of unknown to me, that is thinking of leaving early next year, a Republican congressman.
That would be one less seat.
You lose Santos, that's one less seat.
And Kevin McCarthy, according to reports, is thinking about leaving early next year as well.
That's not going to help the Republicans at all, considering the very tight, you know, thin majority that they currently have.
It's insane to me.
Anyway, uh, we'll watch what they see.
You know, never underestimate Republicans' abilities to create circular firing squads and and Democrats, they just circle the wagons.
By the way, AOC in New York was castigated for calling New York City unaffordable for working class as and then there's the New York Toast that uh New York Post editorial after she complained that New York's too expensive for working class people.
Wasn't she the one, Linda?
Correct me if I'm wrong, that in her own district was gonna have Amazon create all these what thousands of jobs, and and when it was announced it was like the greatest thing ever, and that the state had negotiated a deal with Amazon to bring this these jobs to her particular district, and then she fought against it, and then finally Amazon just said, forget it.
If you don't want us, we're out of here.
Exactly.
And by the way, Amazon-Because they would have had to hear her talking all the time, and nobody wants that.
Even Amazon was like, I'm out.
You can't do it.
They try and they tried and they tried hard.
And you know, the sad thing is is you know what happened to property values in the area once that announcement was made, it went through the roof.
People would be making a fortune.
Businesses would be doing so much better.
Crazy.
Um now, by the way, Amazon's leaving Seattle and they're headed down to Miami, headed down to Florida.
Why?
Because they want to get away from high taxes and burdensome regulation.
Um interesting notes on the presidential race on the Democratic side.
There is real fear, real panic.
This is not fake, this is not manufactured.
Uh Democrats see now exactly what I've been saying since 2020.
That Joe is weak and frail and a cognitive mess.
He can't even I can't think of a single time in recent memory where he's had a clean appearance with no cognitive dysfunction.
It's it's now deteriorated to that level.
Now remember, cognitive decline, it never gets better.
It's one of those things, it's degenerative, it gets worse and worse and worse, unfortunately.
Anyway, so you have this guy, Dean Phillips, who's now challenging him, and he's now saying his fellow Democrats fully realize that if Biden becomes the 2024 standard bearer, he would lose to Donald Trump.
Um I don't think anyone can make an accurate prediction on anything right now because we have no idea how wild a ride it's gonna be next year.
I think it's gonna be wild, but they're too spineless, he says, to do anything about it.
And he says, let me tell you the names that you know better than me.
He says they know the problem, they know the consequences of Joe Biden taking on Trump.
They know he's gonna lose, and what are they doing?
No, they're doing what Joe Manchin just did, and that is, you know, they're dancing around.
Now, there is a lot of talk, and Manchin is not denied the the chatter that he may run on the no labels ticket.
What impact that would have on the race?
I I think it would have a dramatic impact on the race.
A lot of people are asking me what I think Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent run.
What impact that will have?
I think a lot of conservatives need to do a different big dive.
I I know there are three issues that conservatives like with RFK Jr., who personally is a nice guy.
We did a town hall with him, had a good time with him.
I know that uh Linda probably agrees with some of his crazier views, but you know what, he's entitled to have them.
I mean, all these places that you know, put a invite him on to be a guest, then don't let him talk or explain his position on vaccines or whatever it happens to be.
But a lot of conservatives liked his position particularly specifically on the COVID vaccine.
They like his position.
He's spoken out against open borders, and they like his position on uh women in I'm sorry, men and women's sports.
Those are the only three conservative positions I have identified with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Every other Democratic candidate over the years he has supported, you know, has been big left-wing radical socialists, and his entire life has been this environmental radicalism, which by the way is fine with me.
I think he's sincere in his beliefs, but I think he's sincerely wrong.
Uh the Hill had an interesting take on on Biden, and it it's their position is Biden or bust that Democrats are stuck with Joe.
I don't necessarily agree with that.
I don't think they're stuck with him.
You know, Joe Biden is one big fall away from not being the nominee, in my view.
I mean, and every time he opens his mouth, I I think he embarrassed I I feel embarrassed, and you know, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Joe Biden.
I can only imagine the what people that like him are thinking.
What I can't understand is why people that are closest to him in his life have not stood up and said, uh, Joe, uh, I don't think uh you've you've done enough.
Thank you.
It's time to now go to the beach, sit in your beach chair, we'll even place it for you every day so you don't have to struggle and fight it.
And and it's time to retire.
But anyway, Biden has his campaign allies, you know, floating the message Trump is coming for your health care.
I mean, it's it's all gonna be all the Democrats want to talk about, they're not gonna want to talk about the economy, they're not gonna want to talk about borders, they're not gonna want to talk about foreign policy, they're not gonna want to talk about wokeism.
They're not gonna want to talk about transgenderism and what's taught in schools.
They're not gonna want to talk about defund, reimagine police departments.
All they're gonna want to do is bash Trump 24-7.
That's all their media mob allies do now.
And and how's it working out for them?
Linda, did you see Humpty Dumpty's book?
I told you about this yesterday.
You are the only person who told me about this book, by the way, just so you know.
Well, no, because nobody knows.
I mean, that's my point.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows about this book.
Like, weird guy thinks he has this image of himself as this you know, real objective and and reporter uh and and real um what would you say?
Sort of like a media monitor.
He's more like a hall monitor.
He's a Fox News stalker, is what he is.
He's a psycho stalker.
And he just is obsessed with Fox News.
It's the second bomb book he's written about Fox.
And just like Michael Wolf before him, neither one of them could sell 4,000 books when in your debut week.
If you can't sell 4,000 more than 4,000 books, that is a flop.
That is a failure.
Um monumental failure.
I can only imagine how much money his publisher lost in this deal.
I doubt he, I am I'm not even sure.
I hope they did it on a contingency basis or you know, there's some type of rev share.
Um real clear politics had an interesting take on 2024.
They said not only can Trump win, right now he is the favorite to win.
Nobody states that, even though the polls show that.
Now, I still think it's too early to be paying attention to you know, polls.
Um, it's just too early in the process.
And we we have no idea what's going to happen in 2024.
We have no idea if if Republicans will end up impeaching Joe Biden.
We have no idea the amount of evidence that is ultimately going to come out with the Joe Biden uh money laundering and bribery scandal allegations.
We do know Donald Trump has as many as four trials he may face next year.
I would imagine a couple of them are going to be pushed off till 2025 or after the election.
Frankly, I think all of them should be pushed back till after the election.
They had years to bring every one of these issues uh to trial much earlier than this, and they chose not to do it, and the timing is way beyond suspicious to me.
And to want to plan to have a top presidential candidate in a courtroom the entire election season, that doesn't sound fair to me.
And if it was a deck, if there was Democrats, they'd be scream screaming bloody murder.
But anyway, they're pointing out just looking at the numbers that Trump is beating Biden, and as our pollster said, Matt Towery and John McLaughlin and Robert Cahaley, you know, he's even winning in a lot of these polls in the popular vote, which I think speaks a lot about Donald Trump's strength.
I mean, it if you would have told me in my lifetime that we'd have a presidential candidate that is arrested four times and a reign four times and as a mugshot, even, and that every single time his poll numbers would go up.
I don't think I'd ever have believed it.
But I think people see the fundamental unfairness.
This has gone on from the minute this man has come down that escalator, and they have been out to get him.
And even Trump's primary opponents are acknowledging none of this is been fair.
I mean, the whole Russia hoax.
It took us over three years to expose all of that, unpeeling every single solitary layer of the onion.
The mob that is totally uninterested in Joe Biden, the liar saying that he never spoke to his son, brother, or anybody for that matter about foreign business deals being up to his eyeballs in them with money transfers from the from these businesses going directly to him and benefiting him.
No, there's no proof of that, Mr. Hattney.
Yeah, there is proof of that.
You have Hunter asking, well, what account should I pay for dad's home repairs with this bill?
What account should I use?
Half my income goes to Pops.
He's implicating his own father.
Or the idea that, you know, 10% for the big guy.
You know, I have to give 50% of my income to Pops.
Okay, well, I guess Pops must know a thing or two if you're giving him all that money.

Sean Hannity.
I'm actually still shocked that people don't even really fully understand.
I bet I would bet, Linda, if we did a survey, you asked people, maybe we should do a man on the street one day on this, who their state, you know, assemblyman is, or the state legislator is, or who or who their state said.
Nobody knows.
No.
And yet when you think of the impact that states with their laws and regulations have on our lives, you know, I am shocked people don't understand, and they're asking me questions well, why do a red state blue state debate?
I'm like, you don't realize that your state, the laws they adopt, the regulations they impose, could have more of a dramatic direct impact on your life than anything Washington does.
Now, obviously, Washington's important and they can be way more burdensome.
What are we going to do now that we're paying a trillion dollars in debt?
I don't know.
