Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Thanks for being with us, toll free.
Our number is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh we have a lot of news as it relates to America, Israel, the brutality of these Hamas terrorists that we didn't know before, but it it is as bad as it's ever gotten.
Um ballistic missiles, by the way, fired by the Hooti rebels out of Yemen, striking three commercial ships Sunday in the Red Sea while a US warship shot down three of the drones in self-defense during what was an hour hours and hours long assault.
US Central Command said we also have every reason to believe that these attacks, while launched by the Hootie rebels, we all know that they have been fighting a proxy war on behalf of Iran, and our military is acknowledging that.
Uh the question is what will be done in response.
Uh we know the US military did kill five Iranian proxy fighters in the drone strike in northern Iraq.
Now up to nearly a hundred attacks against American soldiers.
Um we have so much else going on, horrific news stories and of Hamas and their attack in Israel surfacing, including the the raping of women.
I mean, you just can't make this up.
And yet, as we discuss, you have, you know, radical squad member, Congresswoman Jaya Powell, uh, is out there, and when asked about Hamas rapes in a in a heated debate, you know, she's demanding balanced criticism.
I I you just can't make this up.
Let's play these comments.
It's kind of remarkable that this issue hasn't gotten enough uh attention uh globally.
Widespread use of rape, uh brutal rape, sexual violence against Israeli women by Hamas.
Um I've seen a lot of progressive women, generally speaking, they're quick to defend women's rights and speak out against using rape as a as a weapon of war.
But downright silent on what we saw on October 7th and what might be happening inside Gaza right now to these hostages.
Why is that?
I I I mean, I don't I don't know that that's true.
I think what we always talk about the impact of war on women in particular.
In fact, I remember 20 years ago I did a petition around the war in Iraq.
He says saying talked about it since October 70.
And I've condemned what Hamas has done.
I've condemned all of the actions.
Absolutely.
The the rape, the of course, but I think we have to remember that Israel is a democracy.
That is why they are a strong ally of ours.
And if they do not comply with international humanitarian law, they are bringing themselves to a place that makes it much more difficult strategically for them to be able to build the kinds of allies to keep public opinion with them.
And frankly, uh morally, I think we cannot say that one war crime deserves another.
That is not what international humanitarian law says.
Okay, with respect, I was just asking about the the women, and you turned it back to Israel.
I'm asking you about Hamas, in fact.
I already answered your question, Dana.
I I said it's horrific, and I think that rape is horrific, sexual assault is horrific.
I think that it happens in war situations.
Terrorist organizations like Hamas obviously are using these as tools.
However, I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians.
15,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, three quarters of whom are women and children.
And it's horrible, but you're you don't see Israeli soldiers raping um.
Well, Dana, I think we're not we're not, I don't want this to be the hierarchy of oppressions.
I think 15,000 people have been killed Palestinians, which is horrible.
And Hamas started a war, and they're the ones that were involved in the killing.
Uh Israel didn't want this war, it didn't start this war.
They will finish it.
Uh then uh, you know, again, more examples of you know, just hatred and anti-Semitism uh in Pennsylvania in Philly.
You had a pro-Palestinian mob harassing a Jewish-owned restaurant there.
Even the Democratic governor there called it a blatant act of anti-Semitism.
Listen to this.
All right, joining us now, Caroline Glick is with us, senior contributing editor and host of the Caroline Glick Show.
Rajit Gabriel is back with us.
Founder chairman of Act for America.
Uh, welcome both of you back.
You know, we're now getting more and more details about the, you know, just subhuman, non-human uh interactions uh of these terrorists and how they treated women and babies and children, and yet we have Congresswoman Jaya Paul, you know, basically lecturing us to have balanced criticism.
Uh what part of Caroline, what part of Israel being the victim here of these people missing?
Uh the part about Israel having a right to exist, I think, because when they try to draw moral equivalence between uh uh jihadist organization that just committed um uh one day genocide against the Jewish people and rape of the kind that we saw,
the instrumental use of gang rape, barbaric rape, uh beheadings and and uh um mutilation of bodies uh both men and women, um, that uh what we're seeing is is uh is uh the acting out of the long-standing goal,
not only of Hamas, but of the PLO of all of Islamic jihad, of Il Qaeda, of ISIS, which is the annihilation of the Jewish people uh as sadistically and as savagely as possible.
And when you try to draw moral equivalence and in fact deem Israel worse uh than Hamas, uh then what you're saying is that you support the annihilation of the Jewish people, and um uh unfortunately there's a bit of that going around in the U.S. Congress these days.
There's a lot going on.
Your reaction, Brigitte Gabriel, um, and you have life experience with this, which we have discussed a number of times on the show.
Uh I think it is horrifying the numbness of the world, and especially women of the world, especially in the Western nation, women who have the ability to speak up, women who have the ability to call on their elected officials in all of Western civilization in all developed countries, in a nation where we have democracy, and for women to stand up and say, look, we are living in the uh in the 21st century.
Uh we need to condemn the rape and abuse of women.
When we have the UN women uh who are silent, who are failing to rally the whole world to stand up in defense of women.
Uh I think it is disheartening.
It is shocking as a woman myself.
Uh uh I look at this as as a mother of two daughters, and I am horrified at the lack of interest, lack of moral clarity, lack of courage on the part of women leaders of the world to stand up.
And uh and and I remember back Michelle Obama after the Boko Haram kidnapped the 300 girls.
Again, here's an Islamic radical group who kidnapped Christian young girls, and we all know what they did to them.
They raped them, the God knows what they did to them.
Everybody walk up with hashtag bring back our girls.
How come we're not hearing from uh Michelle Obama, from Hillary Clinton, from Nancy Pelosi, from all the democratic leaders in the world, from the prime ministers of nations, even from Queen Rania of Jordan, who's very outspoken.
Uh, you know, you would think she stepped off the the the front pages of Vogue magazine.
How come women are not speaking up in defense of women?
Just because they well, let me ask give you an opportunity.
Answer your own question.
Why do you think they're not saying anything?
Because they have no value for Jewish women or Jewish blood.
This boils down to anti-Semitism, pure and simple.
It is hatred of Jews, and Jewish women have no value whatsoever.
I just want to add something to what Brigitte said so rightly, which is that about Obama Michelle Obama.
Um the uh my Israel's Minister of Women's Affairs uh was on a show with me the other day, and she explained that Israel has repeatedly asked Michelle Obama to come out and condemn uh the rape of the mass rape of of hundreds of Israeli women on October 7th and the continued uh victimization of the uh hostages in Gaza.
And um she refused, and this is true even after they sent her graphic photographic evidence of the uh brutal uh rape of the Israeli women.
Uh she never even responded to the entreaties that have have uh you know that they've made repeatedly to to the former first lady.
So I think that's very important to note.
It's not simply that she hasn't noticed, she's made a decision not to say anything, and she's not alone.
Angelina Love Jolie, uh Susan Sarandon supports the Hamas against Israel and other leading voices for against violence against women supposedly are fine.
Uh me too doesn't apply to Jews.
It only applies to non-Jews and only people obviously in the correct classes.
And I think in terms of the surprise and that they don't care that it was a surprise attack, that uh uh we weren't prepared for this, nobody expected something like this to happen.
Again, I mean it all goes back to um this incredible hatred.
Um, you know, some people may be frightened, some people may be cowards, and they just don't want to stand up to it.
And people like Immanuel Macron, who is faced with such uh uh dangerous situation with jihadists having seated themselves throughout France, for instance.
But um I think in general, it's that you know, people uh are more or less fine with the idea of uh the Jews of the world uh in Israel and Philadelphia and Toulouse, everywhere being annihilated.
And so they really just they don't have a problem with it.
That's the only thing that I can really that's the only logical explanation for this incredible.
Um indifference.
All right, quick break, right back.
We'll continue more with Caroline Click and Brigitte Gabriel on the other side.
Then your calls coming up.
Most people have no idea if you own your home, it is usually your biggest investment, and there is a protection in most people's home uh insurance, and that is it's called house stealing.
And that puts your entire home your equity at risk.
Now, from FBI crime stories, it says, quote, con artists, they pick a house, vacation home, rental property, or the home you're living in, they transfer the deed, which is online of the house into their name.
They do it by obtaining the forms, they use fake IDs, they file the paperwork with proper authorities, then they end up owning your home.
That's only the beginning.
Once they finish that, they take out loans using your home as collateral, or they can even sell your home from underneath you.
Now you can protect your home from this invisible gap and check on your home's title, verify your home is still in your name simply by going to Home Title Lock.com, but you gotta use the promo code Sean S-E-A-N.
And they'll give you a complete title scan of your home's title, and the first 30 days of triple lock title protection is free.
That's Hometitle Lock.com.
Don't forget the promo code Sean S E A N the Truth alive.

That's KNOX.com.
All right, we continue now with Caroline Glick and with Brigitte Gabriel discussing the atrocities of rape against women and other atrocities by Hamas against Israelis.
What do you make Brigitte Gabriel actress Susan Sarandon?
It's it took her almost two weeks.
Uh now I would argue probably was pressured to apologize.
If it was sincere, it would have happened immediately, in my view.
About her recent comments that quote American Jews are now getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.
Uh she's now saying, Oh, it was a terrible mistake, and she regretted belittling the history of Jewish uh persecution.
Um why do I not find that sincere this this late date after?
It is not sincere, and I hope that old Jewish film uh studio owners and filmmakers will completely boycott her.
Well what's even more surprising is the fact that the majority of Hollywood uh is basically Jewish.
I mean, let's face it, they are the prominent leaders, creators uh of movies of the art in this country, and yet we have not seen a blurp uh of pressure applied on all the actors and all the stars in Hollywood to come together to speak up about the atrocities committed.
But you know what I think this is uh Sean?
This is collective punishment of Israel in their mind.
Well, Israel deserves it because Israel is oppressing the poor Palestinians, and because we stand with the underdog, and because we stand with the Palestinian people, we put them in the brown people category and the oppressed category and the unprivileged compared to the privileged white rich Jews.
Therefore, we need to stand with them and support them.
And I think this narrative needs to change, and it needs to start changing by influencing by influencers within the Jewish community, business people, uh uh philanthropists, uh, major movers and shakers to start applying pressure in the media, in Hollywood, in business on such personalities and people to stuff to start changing the narratives.
That's unacceptable.
Let me ask you that.
I mean, it's often uh been criticized uh when people say things like uh quote, the Jewish people run Hollywood.
I don't know who runs Hollywood, I don't even think Hollywood as it once was exists anymore.
Uh, but but that has a bit of comment that's often been criticized, Brigitte.
I think you know that.
Uh, yes, I do know that.
But as somebody who works very closely within the media industry, uh, I worked very closely with production houses with filmmakers.
Remember, I owned a TV production and advertising agency uh for 20 years, ever since I came to America before I started Act for America.
And I say that with great respect and praise that the great contributors to the film industry are Jewish people, the great creative people.
Look at the movies that Steven Spielberg gave us.
Look at the movie houses.
Look what that what they exported to the world.
And and the art and the music and film.
This is something that the Jewish community should be proud of.
Now, I don't agree with a lot of by the way.
Everybody should watch Shinlu's list.
If you haven't watched it, you you need a history lesson because it's all true.
Uh, but we're short on time.
Quick reaction, Caroline.
Yeah, I just want to weigh in very quickly about uh Hollywood.
Hollywood, like the elite universities and other um institutions in America that that American Jews really felt at home in, have uh over the past fifteen years been pushing them out very, very harshly.
You know, Harvard's down like five percent Jews.
It used to be twenty-five percent Hollywood, they're no longer bringing uh Jewish writers into their writer studios.
So Jews are being purged from all of these institutions.
Um and and I think that we have to bear that in mind.
Jews in America have been under assault now by the progressives for you know, for going on now, it w increasingly over the past two decades, and now what we're seeing is an explosion of a process that's been terminating for for a couple of decades.
So you may have to grab that in mind.
It's not the same situation as it was in 2000 or in the 1990s or before that.
Anywhere.
Well, I just can say this.
Uh anti-Semitism at a level is now happening in this country, in the halls of Congress, in our college university campuses, etc.
And I gotta tell you something.
Uh I am worldwide, all throughout Europe, in Australia, and at a level that I never thought we would see.
You say never forget.
Apparently, a lot of people have forgotten, and it's a very chilling time.
Uh, in terms of the hatred, the outright hatred of Israel and the support of radical Islamic terrorism.
Uh, I'm shocked.
And I'm not shocked very often.
Uh, Caroline, great to have you back.
Brigitte, always great to have you.
Thank you both.

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?

Um this was on Fox News Digital, a person asking New York City Park officials why these taking down posters of Israeli hostages.
Listen to this.
Hi, so this is being taken down by a city official because he says it counts like raffitti.
And you're taking down people that are kidnapped in Israel because you address this while you're taking this down.
Why are you taking down posters, sir?
Sir, why are you taking down a poster?
The city order this.
Now you don't want to address it, do you?
How is this okay?
Why are you taking something down?
Is this a free country?
Why can't you put a poster up?
Why why are you taking the poster down, sir?
Why does it bother you to have a poster of somebody kidnapped that we're trying to have release a great awareness?
Why are you taking it down?
It's really unbelievable, isn't it?
It's it's wow.
And after I I I have seen one of these not just pro-Palestinian, but you you hear, you know, from the river to the sea chanting at the quote pro-Palestinian uh rallies in New York, uh, you know, from the river to the sea and everything else in between.
And it's it's like almost like a daily occurrence lately.
It's it's unbelievable.
I was driving by one day and I just, you know, kind of lowered the window, even took some video.
Uh, and by the way, Lloyd Austin, he's absolutely clueless, you know, talking about protecting Palestinian civilians is both a moral responsibility and a strategic imperative.
What do you think Israel's been doing since the since they were, you know, invaded on October the 7th?
They have been telling innocent Palestinians to leave.
They've been telling them where what areas are safe to go to.
The only people that have been forcing them back in their homes to use this human shields would be Hamas, the terror organization.
Anyway, here's Lloyd Austin.
This kind of a fight, the center of gravity is the civilian population.
And if you drive them into the arms of the enemy, you replace a tactical victory with a strategic defeat.
So I have repeatedly made clear to Israel's leaders that protecting Palestinian civilians in Gaza is both a moral responsibility and a strategic imperative.
Gets me so angry I can't even it's uh I can't even see straight.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, let's say hi to Scott is in Arizona.
Scott, hi, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
I'm doing good, Sean.
How are you?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Well, uh I wanted to uh tell you uh, I guess today something.
Uh I'm really frustrated when I talk to uh people who didn't vote for Trump.
And um never do I hear them mention as far as economy or oil or the border.
They always mention that you know that he's a liar, or they think that he's ra or that he's racist and he's or he's a Nazi, and it's all the Democrats hockey points.
Yet I never hear Trump talk about that in speeches.
And I was wondering you you you know, they they say he's a jerk.
Yet if you if you look at where Trump, they say maybe he lied.
Uh let's say uh, you know, it wasn't a lie with Russia.
It wasn't lie with Ukraine.
Uh it wasn't a lie with uh other things that happened.
I mean, was the election a lie?
Well, we don't know really really no.
And um you know, is that something that you how you how would you feel about addressing that with him more directly in a in a place where you can ask him a question where he doesn't have a prepared speech?
You know, look, I've asked them questions about all of these things.
I mean, uh, we all know what the media is.
We understand.
I think people are more hip to how corrupt, abusively biased that they are.
And I think with that, I think people distrust the press more than they've ever trusted them.
Um distrusted them, and for good reason.
They have earned our distrust.
Uh especially when it comes to all things Donald Trump.
You know, have it has any news organization ever taken responsibility for their Russia hoax lies?
Has any of them ever taken responsibility for not reporting the Hunter Biden laptop story accurately before the election?
Have any of them ever taken the position to investigate why the FBI was was warning big tech in the in the months leading up to the twenty twenty election that that there might be they may be victims of a disinformation campaign and it may be about Joe and Hunter Biden?
Because that sounds to me like they're putting uh heavy weights on the scales of an election to me.
And and none of this seems to phase them.
As long as liberals get the outcome they want, they don't care.
Otherwise, they'll claim election interference and whine about it all day long and nobody seems to give a rip about it.
Like Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, and the list goes on and on.
Yeah.
I mean, not only do they misreport it, they still they still actually promote it, you know, those things.
So a lot of people still believe the uh dossier was real.
A lot of people still believe that uh he was wrong on COVID, where he was really right on everything with COVID.
And this is frustrating because uh, you know, I I don't know.
It's almost like I feel he needs to have an American president moment, the movie, you know, where it comes out and just addresses everything head on for all these things as accused of, because the people that like him, they understand why they like him.
They like him for all those things that he always mentioned.
But how are you going to bring in the people that that don't like him and think he's a jerk for these other reasons that are uh just promoted by the media and the democrats?
I think his his biggest challenge, look, w we we may be looking at another election where anywhere between five and six hundred thousand people in six separate states will determine the outcome of the twenty twenty four election.
We could be looking at that.
Now, maybe economic circumstances and maybe national security circumstances, you know, could change everybody's thinking.
Uh, and I don't think it would be in Joe Biden's favor.
I don't know, but as of now, there's uh there's nobody that anybody that tells you that they know how this is gonna turn out in 2024 has no idea what they're talking about.
They don't.
It's a it's a guess on their part.
But I will tell you there's a lot of work to be done.
Republican candidates have got to get their act together.
States need to bring election integrity efforts into the forefront before the voting begins.
That means voter ID, signature verification, chain of custody uh controls, uh updated voter rolls, partisan observers watching vote counting in every precinct, and when the polls close, uh watch the voting all day and the counting all night.
And that's it.
That's the only thing I can think of.
And Republicans better get in the ballot harvesting business, the legal ballot harvesting business, like Democrats, or else they're making a big mistake.
Now they have gone forward with this idea of bank your vote to overcome conservative reluctance and resistance and Republican reluctance and resistance towards voting early and voting by mail, but that's that to me is step one.
They've got a long way to go.
And I've been saying it since 2020.
Yeah, I know.
I I've I've heard you and you talked about the last election being the most most important election of uh maybe everybody's lifetime, and um and I think it w it was, but not enough people hurt, I guess, if if you know the results were were accurate.
Well, if they if the media would have just reported it accurately on the Hunter Biden laptop, I don't think this that election would have been close.
Uh anyway, appreciate the call.
Thank you, Scott.
800-941 Sean, you want to be a part of the program will stay in Arizona.
Mark is next.
Hey Mark, how are you?
Sean, I'm doing great.
I w I I just want to introduce myself and say that I am the president of the Arizona chapter of the Linda M club of the Sean Hannity show.
Well, why are you sucking up to Linda?
Why are you kissing up to Linda?
But you know why?
Because she's awesome.
That's why.
She's awesome.
Is that why I don't know that that might love that might sound that that that was funny?
Um that might have been the best answer I've ever got for people that suck up to you.
I just want to give her a plug.
Thanks, man.
Anyway, on a serious note, Sean, I want to congratulate you for what you did last week with that this uh DeSantis Newsome debate.
You you I don't know what you had taken Fox to a whole new level.
It was must see TV.
I mean, I I uh what am I gonna do?
Watch Nora O'Donnell and CBS News when when that is on and I could see real issues, real gaps, I mean gap you know, uh graphs, real facts, and and and and candidates grappling with these things.
That was and now you're gonna have a Trump town hall.
Uh Sean, I just I just call the praise you to the skies.
That's it.
Well, you're very kind, but let me tell you how I feel.
I'm grateful to all of you.
I don't have this if you don't listen to this show three hours a day, if you don't watch TV and set your D VR every night at nine, I don't have the opportunity to get my voice out, your voice out, and frankly, there are too few conservative voices in the media.
You know, there's a little bit of a I don't know, how do you say this?
Intramural battling sometimes within Republican ranks and and conservative ranks.
I always say Democrats circle the wagons and Republicans create circular firing squads.
Um I'm way past that point in my career.
I just don't I I want any good conservative voice to succeed.
Whether we uh agree a hundred percent doesn't matter.
I just want people to hear and to be able to get information that the mainstream mob will never give you.
And I'm glad to be one small spoke in the wheel.
You make it possible.
I am so grateful because I love what I do.
And yeah, tomorrow's gonna be fun.
We're in Davenport, by the way.
If anywhere near the area you want to come, you can sign up.
Tickets are free, Hannity.com, Wednesday and Thursday night in New York City, tickets are free, Hannity.com.
We do our live audience show.
So I love being uh honestly, I love being out with the people.
I like that m more than being in a studio alone by myself or with one guy pointing at me saying you're go.
Three, two, one, go.
So anyway, I really appreciate your kind words.
I think it was worthwhile, and you know, maybe we'll do more of those.
Hopefully.
Uh anyway, Mark, thank you.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Sue Ellen is in Delaware.
Hey, Sue Ellen, how are you?
I'm good, Sean.
How are you?
I'm good.
Glad you called.
What's going on?
Happy Monday.
Although there's no such thing as a happy Monday.
Yeah, listen, um, I have a quick request, I guess you would say.
At the town hall tomorrow night, um, asking if you could uh dedicate a portion of that show uh to Donald Trump's Platinum Plan, which you know is um a plan to help the black communities.
And um I think it's really important to get this out.
And you know, I think I've read it several times, and uh there are uh some headings in red, and underneath are all these bullet points that tells you what these this plan is about.
And I'm hoping that you could have that, you know, and read some of those off.
Um it's uh a great plan, and he did a lot of things.
Well, maybe maybe what we could do is maybe we'll invite somebody on from the group and uh let them talk about it.
How's that sound?
So from oh, what group is that?
Well, the the people involved in the platinum plan.
Oh, yeah.
Well, yeah, you know, I think it was Ice Cube had asked him to uh get meet with him, and he did.
And uh and then I guess they talked about it, and Trump said, Yeah, I'll go back and see what I can do about it.
And he made the plan.
Um and and under these headings, there's all these bullet points that tell you what the plan's about.
And it was really thought out.
Well, and you know, uh, you know, I want to Let me let me give what this is.
This is President Trump's promise to black America over four years.
Three million new jobs for the black community, the creation of 500,000 new black owned businesses, increase access to capital in black communities by almost five hundred billion, uh safe urban neighborhoods with the highest policing standards,
a commitment to work on a second step act, access to better education and job training opportunities, give black churches the ability to compete for federal resources in their communities, uh bring better and tailored health care uh uh to address historic disparities,
immigration policy that protects American jobs, advance home ownership opportunities, and enhance uh financial literacy in the black community.
And lastly, uh ensuring manufacturing to advance jobs and develop opportunities for black owned businesses.
I mean, it's right there.
So we'll put it up on our website.
It's got a lot of detail.
Well, and if you could kind of go over that maybe, you know, at the town hall, because you know if you ask him about it, he'll pick two things and then you know how he is.
He'll go on and on and on about them.
And nobody's really gonna know, you know, what the plan is until you kind of say those bullet points like you just did now.
And uh so I would appreciate it if you could do that because I think it's very important people know about this.
Uh I'll tell you what, I like your idea.
I'm gonna try and bring it up tomorrow.
And if I do, I'm doing it in honor of you.
