We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down with Verdict with Ted Cruz Now, wherever you get your podcasts.
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.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song.
We'll all be in Zion Higher than a jail, I know.
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
You don't see Israeli soldiers raping.
Well, Dana, I think we're not, I don't want this to be the hierarchy of oppression.
Harvard ranks the lowest when it comes to protecting Jewish students.
This is why I've called for your resignation and your testimony today, not being able to answer with moral clarity, speaks volumes.
Nobody answers these questions and it's why people are furious with the cover-up because you don't believe the FBI is accountable to Congress or to the American people.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming to your city.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a country song.
Sean Hannity, the new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour, 800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
In a moment, we'll be joined by Jay Seculo, who is the chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice.
Let me first play for you.
Now, there are really three reasons why this all happened to Hunter Biden, and I've got to give credit where credit is due.
Number one, it was the Hunter Biden laptop.
And the fact that Rudy Giuliani's attorney got a copy of it and it got released to the public, that is pivotal in this entire case.
Number two, you got to give credit to these whistleblowers.
And three, you got to give credit to that judge in Delaware that, you know, when Plan A fell apart, which was, oh, we're going, we're not going to charge Hunter with anything.
And the whistleblowers spoke out.
Well, that then prompted them to do something, and that evolved into what was the sweetheart deal that the Delaware judge said to the prosecutors, have you ever seen a deal like this before in your life?
And they had to admit, no.
Then why is it happening here?
If it wasn't for that judge, we wouldn't be here.
If it wasn't for the whistleblowers, we wouldn't be here.
Justice would not have been served.
And the same with that laptop.
If they didn't get it and get it out publicly, we wouldn't be here either.
Speaking of the whistleblowers, let's go to Gary Shapley on Hunter Biden being treated differently than, quote, other tax chiefs.
Listen to this.
The evidence that we collected that were matched up with the elements of the criminal violations that we referred in the special agent report this exhibited to the House Ways and Means Committee.
Those elements were met.
And then some, if these facts were from the local businessman or the neighbor next door, they would have been charged.
They would have already probably had their entire sentence.
So it's a little bit challenging when, you know, I'm pro-IRSCI.
I'm pro-mission.
I'm pro-agency.
I have a lot of great, I've been a senior leader at this agency.
I have a lot of great friends and senior leadership.
And I believe in what we're doing, but I believe in what we're doing when we're treating people fairly.
And, you know, it just didn't happen in this particular case.
The other whistleblower, Joseph Ziegler, who happens to be a Democrat, I mean a statement earlier this week excoriating Democrats that have been attacking him was very powerful.
He was warned that the Hunter investigation would get the IRS in hot water.
Here's what he said to Catherine Harrison.
Why did you want to interview Hunter Biden's adult children?
So a lot of the business deductions expenses related to the adult children.
Did you get the approvals?
So we never received the approvals to talk to those people.
What did the assistant U.S. attorney tell you?
That that's going to get us into hot water.
Is that in the IRS handbook, avoiding hot water?
No, but I mean, I was asking to do these certain things, and roadblock after roadblock was put up in front of me.
All right, joining us now, Jay Seculo, Chief Counsel, American Center for Law and Justice, is with us, also a personal friend and attorney of mine.
And let me get the big picture from you.
The thing about Jay that I love, he's so thorough.
He's read every page of this multiple times now, and I'm sure you have more insight than anybody else.
What did you find?
Well, look, I mean, what they pled here was a case that should have been pled three or four years ago when it said in the indictment, pled in the indictment, not like a clean bargain.
It's a basic tax case.
And if you look at it, it's nine counts.
Six of them are failure to file and pay taxes.
Those are misdemeanors.
But three of the accounts are actually felonies, including false or fraudulent tax returns and one count of evasion of tax assessment.
So it's a serious tax complaint, but you think to yourself, how did this take, you know, three or four years to work up?
This was a tax case.
It wasn't some offshore tax case.
I mean, when I say offshore, you know, tax havens and tax treaties you had to get through.
This was a basic tax case.
And I appreciate what you said in the beginning of this, Sean, with, you know, if it wasn't what Rudy did, if it wasn't what some of the others did, but if those whistleblowers didn't come forward, I don't think any of this would have seen the light of day at the end of the day.
I mean, we represent some whistleblowers right now in actions involving the FBI.
And these are brave individuals that are willing to take on this agency because they lose their positions.
I mean, we're fighting for one right now with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
And you have to understand that when it's really a fight like this, it's those whistleblowers that put the Department of Justice into this position.
But here's the problem.
And this is not a popular statement, but it is the problem.
You now have the leading contender for the Republicans, Donald Trump, who's clearly going to be the nominee, dealing with four major cases, two federal felony, two cases that are in federal criminal court, and then two state court proceedings that are criminal, and then one civil fraud case.
And now you've got the leading Democratic nominee, the current president of the United States, who has a special counsel still looking around, although it doesn't appear to be doing anything.
And his son now has a nine-count indictment.
And you think to yourself, what is the FBI and Department of Justice doing, again, with getting involved in all of this like they do?
This should have been brought three to five years ago.
It would have been disposed of by now.
I still think it's going to be pled out.
I mean, he's got a very good lawyer in Abby Lowell, one of the best in Washington, one of the best in the country.
Well, by the way, so you're one of the best in the country, and Rudy's lawyer, Bob Costello, is one of the best in the country.
I'll say that, but however, I would argue that he doesn't have a great hand here in as much as, you know, look at all the money that he's taken in.
Look at what this indictment says.
I mean, they lash out at the extravagant lifestyle he's living and not paying his taxes like the rest of us.
But at the end of the day, the question is, did you pay your taxes or you did not?
And he did not.
So that's where the, you know, all the other stuff is salacious and tawdry and all of that.
But at the end of the day, they've got to be able to prove a tax case.
Now, apparently there was an unreporting of income.
The question is going to be, and I think, I still think these cases end up getting pled out.
I still believe there's a plea at the end of the day.
But maybe they try it, but I don't see it.
I got a lot of calls on our broadcast today.
Does the president have the power to pardon his son?
And the answer to that is yes.
The pardon power is plenary.
So, of course, he could.
Politically, he wouldn't do that right now, obviously.
And the question is, did the Democrats use this to say, you know what?
Joe Biden's got too much baggage now.
He's 82 years old.
If he wins, we need somebody else.
I'm going to ask you that, John.
Oh, by the way, we're going to know next week, won't we?
Because the House will vote on the issue of whether or not there will be an official impeachment inquiry.
And if a lot of Democrats that usually circle the wagons, Republicans create circular firing squads.
But if they circle the wagons, that'll tell us one thing, that they're standing by Joe.
If, in fact, Democrats defect and they want the impeachment inquiry, depending on the number, that may be the first indication that Joe Biden is being pushed out.
That could be the canary in the coal mine if Maureen Dowd and David Axelrod and Van Jones were not the canary in the coal mine.
Well, and now James Carville, listen, you know this because you and I talk every day and every night.
I watch, of course, your program every night, but I am always looking at the other networks.
I have to.
That's my job.
And I've noticed even on CNN and MSNBC, they're starting to raise questions about all this.
Not about the kid, not about Hunter, but about the father's fitness to be president.
And again, I'm not trying to draw analogies that we've got all these, you know, so we kind of look like Venezuela here as a country.
But it's not just his fitness, Jay.
He lied to this country repeatedly.
I never talked to my son, my brother, anybody for that matter.
I'm just saying the reality is I'm trying to look at the legal reality is this is a tax case, okay?
I handle tax cases.
This is a criminal tax case.
It's going to be resolved.
Are we going to have a Farah case on top of that?
Are we going to have other charges brought?
Like, for example, let's look at Burisma.
What do we know about Burisma?
We know that Joe Biden bragged he leveraged a billion dollars of taxpayer money to get a prosecutor fired.
The net result of that is his son.
He's not a sitting president.
Okay, but the net result of those actions were his son, who had no experience, he says it himself on Good Morning America, at a time he's struggling with addiction, is being paid millions.
Then we have a WhatsApp message.
Again, no experience in energy, oil, or whatever.
I'm sitting next to my father.
That implicates his father.
We're talking about tens of millions of dollars, what Comer describes as, you know, two dozen or so shell corporations.
You've got Joe meeting with oligarchs like Elena Battarina at the Cafe Milano and others.
Pictures and emails going back and forth with the moneyman of the company, Eric Sherwin, over 300 of them we learned this week.
I mean, you know, that sounds to me like it's beyond influence peddling, Jay.
Well, but the charge here is not any of that.
The charge here is criminal tax fraud.
That's the complaint.
The indictment is based on tax fraud.
So that's where this case ends up at the end of the day.
You can't indict a sitting president.
We argued that for President Trump successfully.
You cannot indict a sitting president because of separation of powers.
So they're not going to indict Joe Biden on this.
They've now issued the indictment on Hunter.
Could they be investigating other things?
They could.
But, Sean, the reality is the statute of limitations on this stuff is getting further and further away.
So they've done one, you know, look, again, if it wasn't for the whistleblowers and Bob Costello and these others, none of this would have come to light.
No question.
This would have been, and a judge, as you said, that said, wait a minute, something doesn't smell right with this plea.
So you got to put all of this together.
And I just go back to the political equation here.
Did the Democrats use this to move Joe Biden off the ticket?
Well, I think that's going to be, I think we'll get our first indication.
However, I think that Joe is going to be dragged into this legally.
By the way, if he had nothing to hide, why would he be lying even this very week about the issue of talking to his son and brother about foreign business deals?
We know he's lied.
We have evidence that he lied.
We have photographic evidence that he lied, Jay.
Frustration.
Sean, I get the frustration, but who's going to charge Joe Biden?
You can't charge him while he's a sitting president.
You can't.
It's unconstitutional.
I agree with that, but however, he can be charged post-presidency, and if the American people are convinced...
The invitation is still open, yes.
Okay, if the American people believe that Joe Biden took official actions that benefited his family, and they probably would think in their minds, in their mind, and I've asked Comer and I've asked Jason Smith and I've asked Jim Jordan, is this a bribery investigation of the president of the United States?
And they've all confirmed it is.
Because that's what we're talking about here.
Official actions for the benefit.
It doesn't have to be for the person, but for people involved with the person.
And in this case, that would be Hunter.
Yeah, so I mean, they can impeach.
You know, look, like you said, they could impeach the president.
Could you charge a president after they leave office?
As long as the statute of limitation hasn't expired, you can.
But do Democrats want that person?
President, sure, you can.
That's what they're arguing with President Trump.
He's out of office.
We can charge him.
And they did.
Do you think in any way with all the charges President Trump is facing that in a lot of ways this is going to negate that?
I think there's this sense that politically that's, yeah, I think the Democrats will be saying, well, now that we've lost the ability to say Trump has got all these criminal problems and that's a factor now that Biden's family's got them.
So I do think it negates that.
But again, I go back to, but did the Democrats use that, as you said, with Maureen Down and all these others talking that we need somebody else?
Maybe the guy you had in the debate the other night, Gavin Newsome.
Does that happen at the convention?
Remember, Democrats have super delegates.
Can do anything at that convention.
Pretty unbelievable times we live in, I'll tell you that.
And I've got to believe they have to be looking at FARA violations, also, don't you think?
I would have thought that would have been in this indictment.
They may still be doing investigations on that, but you would think that would have been in this indictment.
It was a speaking indictment.
All right, quick break more with Jay Seculo, Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice on the Other Side.

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.
I'm Leon Nafok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.
Lock her up.

All right, we continue now with Jay Seculo, Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice.
Remember, Mr. Weiss did not want to charge Hunter with anything.
Then the whistleblowers came out.
Then that resulted in the sweetheart plea deal.
That fell apart because of that judge and the whistleblowers.
And now here we are, charges brought by now special counsel Weiss, but Weiss was on both sides saying on the one hand that he did not have the authority to charge in jurisdictions.
And he said something else to another elected official.
And Merrick Garland said he always had the authority and clearly he did not have the authority.
And so it's a lot of people have a lot of explaining to do to do.
Yeah, well, he had to bring it.
He brought it in California because that's where the actions took place.
And you're right.
If he wasn't a special counsel, he wouldn't have had the authority to do that.
So I don't know what Merrick Garland was talking about.
But he is a special counsel now.
So they've done it.
Are there going to be more?
I don't know.
You know, you always hear about these superseding indictments.
I heard there might have been one today.
I've heard nothing since then.
So you just don't know.
But the fact is, I do think it negates, it takes the whole issue of pending criminal matters kind of off the table politically.
I don't think it helps Biden.
It's helped Trump.
I don't think it helped.
It's helped Trump, and every time he's gotten indicted, his number goes up.
I don't think this helps Biden.
I do not.
I got to run.
But by the way, I am a senior executive producer on a movie with your son, Jingle Smells.
And Jim Brewer, by the way, the comedian who's in the movie is going to be with us in the next half hour.
And you just go to Rumble and you can get the movie there.
Rumble.com or jinglesmells.movie.
And it tells you now all the places you can get it.
It's on Rumble, of course, is the preverb provider, but it's already on Voodoo, which is owned by Fandango.
And our friend John Schneider's got a studio that's doing the DVD, so you can get it in any way you can.
It's a great movie.
Jim is hysterical.
And it's also, it's a funny movie.
It's about Christmas, but it's got some very serious messages, including cancellation culture, supporting our military.
And you're in it, and I'm in it.
Now, I'm very minor.
You're like a star.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
That's a mischaracterization.
I need to throw the challenge flag on that one, but we appreciate it, Jay Seculo.
Thanks, Sean.
800-941, Sean.
Our number, as we continue this Friday, straight ahead.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
Our toll-free number is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I told you we just mentioned with Jay Seculo, who was on, but I work with one of his sons, and we produced a movie that is family-friendly and funny as hell and has a great message for kids and a great message against the woke world that we live in, which is getting more insane by the day.
We have the movie trailer.
Let me play that movie trailer for you.
All right, Merry Christmas, America.
Hollywood has canceled action star Mason Stone.
From ACLJ Films and executive producer Sean Hannity and Logan Seculo comes the hilarious new Christmas movie, Jingle Smells.
Like a holiday Robin Hood, the mysterious gift giver has struck again.
Starring John Schneider, Ben Davies, Eric Roberts, James Storm, and featuring comedy legends Victoria Jackson and Jim Brewer.
I should have known your hard luck son was involved.
You didn't know him before Afghanistan.
Jingle Smells has heart, humor, and no Hollywood agenda.
You'll be busted with those toys.
You're done.
You made me an accessory.
Well, you know what they say?
Some accessories are required.
Am I smiling?
No.
Jingle Smells.
Now streaming on Rumble.
For more information and to order the movie, go to jinglesmells.movie.
Now, one of the stars of the movie, it's Jingle Smells.
By the way, you can watch it when you go to rumble.com, order it there, or go to jinglesmells.movie and you can order it.
It's a movie that anybody in your family can watch and have a good time with.
It just was a fun movie.
And when you get to the plot of this, it's very funny.
Anyway, if you don't know who Jim Brewer is, you need to know this guy.
He is hilarious.
Here's him making fun of climate change.
Send in Spock and Spock comes in.
Bum, bum, bum.
And they're showing blizzards.
Weather experts.
The biggest scientists, experts in the world all agree that in 10 years, we are headed for an ice age.
I've never cursed during my shows, but that's a major f*** up.
Google it later for those who are like, I don't believe what you're saying because I don't like that he made fun of Donald Trump.
All right, Jim Brewer joins us now.
He stars in the movie Jingle Smells, of which I'm the executive producer or one of them.
And I make an appearance myself.
By the way, my appearance sucks compares to yours, by the way.
Great to have you on the program.
I know your podcast is kicking ass.
Oh, and I got to say this.
On YouTube, you have a special you put out, Country Boy Will Survive.
Now, that's the famous Hank Williams Jr.
song.
And man, that is a great special.
What?
You're almost at a million views when I last looked.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
I think the Trump derangement bit is really taking off on that.
I just, you know, I think people are ready for common sense comedy and just get back to our morals of family, faith, and what is right.
And thank God that you put yourself part of this movie.
I left Hollywood a long time ago.
But didn't Hollywood really leave us, Jim?
They got out of touch with the people.
You're right.
You know, at the end of the day, you're right.
It was another takeover.
They took over that whole establishment.
But think back, like, think of like It's a Wonderful Life or think of Miracle on 34th Street.
They don't make movies like that anymore.
No, they don't.
And I don't understand why is that so difficult?
Why is it, you know, when I watch Saturday Live, you know, I used to be a cast member.
It baffles my mind.
I wish you want to make some money, Sean.
I've been saying forever, let's do a new Saturday Live with common sense.
And for the right, how did they not crush this administration with laughter?
It writes its own comedy week after week.
Why is everyone so petrified to folk?
Have we become communist China?
You're not allowed to speak about the government.
That's a weird place to be in history.
There's so much to laugh at.
Now, think of this.
You have Colbert, you have Fallon, you have Kimmel, right?
These guys have the lowest ratings ever.
On a bad night, I double their audience.
And I'm not competing directly.
But when Greg Guttfeld was, a cable host was kicking all of their asses.
And it just goes to show you, for example, if you just played Joe Biden's blunder of the day, you get a lot of kicks and giggles.
People would laugh at it.
And they refuse to do so.
It's just bizarre.
I've never seen anything like it in my life.
I look deeper and go, do they fear something?
Are they being told?
Well, this comes from the higher up.
So who's running the show at the end of the day?
But it just, it doesn't make sense.
It makes zero sense.
That's why I was super stoked that you were behind this movie.
The script is really good.
It's a cute, adorable family movie, and it's got a great message.
It really does.
Oh, it's got a great message.
It's a great message.
That's why parents will get a kick out of it watching it with their kids.
Yeah, no, they do.
And on my life, I'm not just saying this.
I lived down in Naples, Florida.
I had neighbors come over and they said, oh, we loved your movie.
I went, the movie?
You're talking about 20-something years ago?
No, no, the jingle smells.
Oh, you saw it?
They went, we loved the message of that movie.
It was such a good-hearted, loved the whole canceled culture.
It was really good.
So once I heard that, and I didn't see it yet, I still haven't, at that point, I haven't seen it yet.
So I was super stoked to hear other people bring it up.
So it's definitely hitting people, and whoever watches it likes it.
So it's good.
And you are to a credit for that.
Well, I don't know how much credit I really deserve in all this.
I have a minor role.
I'm going to leave the acting to the professionals like yourself, the comedy to professionals like yourself.
Tell me some of the stuff that you say that gets the best laughs when you do your specials.
In this new one, well, I think it started a couple of years ago where it was, I said the special was called Somebody Had to Say It.
And I went after COVID hard with the six-foot safe, five-foot danger.
In this one, I go into, hey, man, the Trump derangement.
I'm not even, it's beyond politics.
But if you can't, they say love is blind.
Hate is blind.
You can't look at this administration and go, well, I still hate Trump.
I don't care who you hate.
You are deranged if you can't see the serious issue that we're all in right now.
That crushes.
The climate change crushes.
And to be honest with you, I never wanted to be a hunter.
I never hunted in my life, Sean, in my life.
You know why I went to hunt?
Because I don't trust the government anymore.
And I want to know I can survive.
God forbid things go down.
And that's a, it's a hilarious story.
It's a true story.
And people resonate with all it.
They resonate that my wife found Jesus.
And we talk about that.
And just, there's a lot of real life issues that I bring to the table.
And everyone wants truth and laughter.
It's not that hard.
It's really not that hard.
It really isn't.
Look, I hope people will watch the movie.
You can go to the website jingle smells movie, jinglesmells.movie or rumble.com.
Great family, Christmas movie.
Everybody will love watching it, I think.
You do a great job in the movie.
I urge people also go to YouTube and check out Country Boy Will Survive, about to surpass a million views.
Pretty amazing.
Anyway, Jim Brewer, thanks, man.
Appreciate you being with us.
Appreciate it.
I appreciate it, Sean.
All the best to you.
God bless.
Take care.
You too.
800-941 Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
All right, let us get to our busy phones.
Barbara Marilyn, next, Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, Barbara?
How are you?
Oh, my goodness.
I'm so glad I was able to get through your phone lines.
They're so busy.
We love you so much.
How are you, Sean?
I'm good, Barbara.
I love to hear your voice.
You're happy today.
You sound like you're in a good mood.
I'm glad because you know what?
These are tough times we're all living in.
I'm in a very good mood because after listening to, you know, with Greg, your connections, the people that you consult with are wonderful.
I finally, today, I feel like I got some hope that something might come of this stuff, that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, you know, that something might happen to them and that they'll stop hounding President Trump.
Well, you know, look, do I think this, I think the Hunter part is the low-hanging fruit.
But the low-hanging fruit was out there forever.
What bothers me is they purposely ignored the low-hanging fruit.
But I'm telling you, this goes right to the top.
When I say this is the Joe Biden bribery and money laundering scandal allegations, I say it for a reason because that's what this is about.
And that's where ultimately, if we have justice, will lead, in my opinion, based on the evidence accumulated by the House Ways and Means Committee and Jason Smith, by the House Oversight Committee and James Comer, by the House Judiciary Committee, and that's, of course, Jim Jordan.
So that's where I think it's all headed.
I'm just concerned that they won't impeach him.
I mean, you know, they impeached Donald Trump for making a phone call.
And here we've got a president who is actually involved in criminality.
He's got millions and millions of dollars, but he cannot prove where he got it from other than selling us down the tubes to our enemies.
And it's just, it's distressful to see it happening.
And we know it.
He lies all the time about it.
He'll never admit it.
He'll never admit it.
Even if they convicted him, he would never admit it.
He would say they were lying, Mark.
So, you know.
Unbelievable times.
But I'll tell you, hopefully now, because of, let's see, the brave attorney and brave former mayor of New York City, Bob Costello's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, because of a brave judge in Delaware and two brave whistleblowers.
Guess what?
Justice is now coming.
They're not going to be able to hide anymore.
Hang in there, Barbara.
Have a good weekend.
We appreciate you.
800-941-Sean on number.
You want to be a part of the program?
Chad is in Texas.
Chad, how are you?
Glad you called.
Sean, I'm just fine.
Even better know now that I get to talk with you, get to the busy phone lines.
And so you made my day going into a weekend.
Merry Christmas to you, Linda, your entire staff.
I know you're about to go on your much deserved, much deserved end-of-the-year vacation.
I am crawling to the finish line like every year.
I honestly get to this point, and I'm like, I'm like crawling all the way, working my heart out.
I promise.
I was supposed to be off today, to be honest with you, but I can't be off on a news day like this.
I just can't.
Of course, you did.
And so that's even more of a deserving this amount of time off.
You've been doing it for 33, 34 years on the radio, so you just about it got it figured out.
You're Fox News.
You've been there number one, all in all.
So you're very well deserving of the end of the year.
That's only because you blessed me with this microphone and that camera, and I'm very grateful.
But we have a minute I want you to make a count.
I wish I had your set of pipes.
So, two things.
Kudos to you for sitting there with Gavin Newsome, who's a sleeky, sneaky oil salesman.
He's so aggravating.
And Ron DeSantis, that takes a lot of courage, if you will, patience.
That's why I couldn't be a doctor.
I don't have any patience.
All the back and forth, the talking over.
So kudos to you on that.
The last thing I'll hit you with, not hit the audience with, is that the thing about Hunter Biden, take away the charges or whatever.
Remember, all the entire left, Democrats, liberals, just entire woke media, politicians going after not just DJT, but his three adult sons and his young, the Baron now, which is taller than a dadgum building.
But all of them were going after the Trump children that are squeaky clean and now this.
So they're not going to have, it's going to be hypocrisies when I'm saying that they won't say anything about Hunter Biden on these charges, which is going to be a slap on the hand.
He'll play the fifth.
Ain't nothing going to happen.
The similar charges that his name is dropping me, but he's a rapper and he went to prison four or five years.
That's not long, but then again, it is.
So my whole talking point on this was about the Hunter thing and also what you had to sit through in the red, blue state debate.
Sean, thank you so much for everything that you do day in and day out.
We absolutely love you and so do I. You're a voice, a beacon.
The conservatism, maybe not 100% Republican, libertarian, all of that, but conservative.
I'm a conservative, man.
I'm not even a, I don't register as a Republican, put it that way.
Anyway, look, I appreciate your kind words and I thank all of you for giving me this opportunity every day and that opportunity every night.
It's my passion.
Glad to be here.
I did not in any way mean to insinuate that somehow I had to come in on my day off.
I'm not complaining.
I'm glad to be here.
It's my job and I'm grateful for it.
Have a great time.
Have a great holiday season.

When I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of 10, 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?
