	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.
	There's no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen.
	Thank you all for being here.
	I'm just going to ask the press to step out so we can begin our briefing.
	Thank you.
	Mr. President, I have a picket for you.

	Subscribe, follow, like, all those fun things.
	Okay, joining us today, because we have to talk about this.
	My God, you would think that all the talking we've done would amount to something, and it certainly has not, not in the last three years.
	President and CEO of Borders 911, former acting ICE director, retired federal agent Tom Holman is joining us today.
	Tom, happy day after Christmas.
	How are you?
	Okay, doing good.
	Thanks for having me.
	Yeah, as we look at the new year, Tommy, right now, there's news reports of another massive caravan that's moving through Mexico, headed to the United States, to the border.
	I think it's El Paso.
	But, you know, they're saying it's the largest this year, but I kind of remember, and correct me if I'm wrong, right before Christmas, there was a caravan that smashed all the records at 20,000 coming through the border.
	So, I mean, it doesn't matter.
	There's too many.
	Too many for us to process, too many for us to vet.
	It's just out of control, is it not?
	Of course.
	These are historic numbers.
	November was the highest November in history of this nation.
	And December is going to blow that away.
	I mean, we're already up over a quarter of million for December, and we got another five days to go.
	So I expect this to be around a little over 300, which we could actually be at an all-time high for any month of any year since in the history of this nation in December.
	And you're right, we've been talking about this for three years.
	Next month, it'd be three years this administration has been in charge, and we're still talking about historic illegal immigration because they haven't done a single thing to slow the flow.
	No enforcement action has been taken in three years.
	You know, and the American people aren't stupid, Tom.
	You know, I heard the administration talk about how it's the Republicans' fault, and they know that it's not the Republicans' fault, and they know that this president has not delivered on protecting this country and protecting her borders.
	And I just, it just blows my mind to think that there are, we're talking, so we're close to a million.
	I mean, overall, since he's been in office, I think people were projecting it would be around 8 million by the end of this year.
	But I think it's even well above that, isn't it, at this point?
	Oh, yeah, it's 8 million counters, but we don't know.
	You know, we got at a minimum 1.8 million known gotaways.
	And this isn't a guess.
	These gotaways are counted on drone traffic, sensor traffic, or camera traffic.
	These are, we have images.
	So 1.8 million to add that to the eight.
	Now we're closing on 10 million.
	And we got another full year left this administration.
	And look, they're going to keep coming because why wouldn't they?
	They're going to cross the border.
	They'll be released.
	They'll be flown to the city of their choice.
	They'll be given work authorization.
	That's five, seven years and be placed in a hotel room at taxpayer expense.
	They'll be given three square meals a day plus medical care.
	I mean, who the hell wouldn't come under those circumstances?
	So this is not going to slow down until they take some enforcement action, which look, this is not mismanagement.
	This isn't in conference.
	I say it all the time.
	This is by design.
	You got to give Joe Biden credit.
	He promised open borders and he's kept his promise.
	So American people need to demand action by this administration, which they won't be forced into action, or we've got to board them out of office.
	I mean, we cannot allow this to continue.
	This is the biggest national security crisis I've seen since 9-11.
	Yeah, and you know, some Border Patrol chiefs have talked about their concern about the number of immigrants that are actually avoiding detection at the southern border.
	One said that it actually keeps them all up at night when they think about what's going on.
	And at the time, there was a chief patrol agent, Jason Owens, who now head of the Border Patrol, told lawmakers that a major concern for the agency is that impact of the humanitarian crisis on the border security mission.
	So you've got these Border Patrol officers who are kept from the bad stuff that's going on, kept from the cartels and everything else that may be happening over there, because over here, they've got a humanitarian crisis that they've got to keep an eye on as well.
	I mean, they are just overloaded, overwhelmed, and we're not productive or careful or safe by any means.
	No, they're not allowed to do the national security mission because they're all in processing.
	In the last couple months, there's been several sectors on the southwest border where every single border patrol agent, every one of them, were pulled off the line in certain sectors.
	That means there's 100 miles of border, hundreds of miles of border without a single uniform on patrol.
	And that's what concerns these men and women.
	They signed up, Protect This Nation, but while they're in changing diapers, making baby formula and making hospital runs, there are bad people crossing that border.
	We got to figure out 1.8 million I talked about.
	Why did 1.8 million people pay more to get away?
	Why take advantage of the free giveaway?
	Pay less, turn yourselves in, get released, get flown to the city of your choice, get work off the station, get a hotel room, get three squares a day.
	Who the hell wouldn't take advantage of that giveaway program at a cheaper rate?
	Why did they choose to pay more to criminal cartels to get away?
	It's obvious because they didn't want to be vetted.
	They don't want to be fingerprinted.
	These are people carrying fentanyl.
	These are people trafficking in women and children, sex trafficking, and these could be known as spectral terrorists.
	I've said it many times.
	Border patrols arrested people from 171 different countries.
	Some of these countries are sponsored with terror.
	Last year, they arrested 659, including Northern Border, under Trump in four years.
	When I'm working with President Trump, four years, 11.
	Oh, my God, unbelievable.
	And, you know, there is, as you said, this growing number of individuals that are on the FBI's terrorist watch list.
	So when you take a look at those numbers, just let's take just the 1.8 million, okay, that were willing to pay the extra.
	Why did they, why didn't they just do it the way everyone else is doing?
	It costs less.
	It's easier.
	But when you consider that, even a very small percentage of that, even 1%, less than 10%, 1%, even less than 1%, if they had nefarious intentions coming into this country, we're in a lot of trouble.
	Those are a lot of people.
	Exactly.
	And people say, why do I think that?
	Because after 9-11, we created a lot of databases, a lot of vetting programs to make sure that like 9-11 terrorists came in on a visa.
	They came in on plane tickets.
	So we created all these databases to make sure terrorists didn't come in on a visa and on a plane ticket.
	That's why we got the TSA no-fly less.
	We got the FBI scrieving database.
	We got the visa security program, which anybody asked for a visa is betted through numerous databases, including DOD databases.
	But what terrorists in their right mind is going to ask for a visa or ask for a plane ticket, knowing who we vetted, meaning simply go to Mexico, pay cartels extra money, be part of the 1.8 million gotaways?
	Look, when there's hundreds of miles of border empty, these criminal cartels know it.
	They create gaps in the system.
	These large groups don't just show up at a certain place by accident.
	The cartels decide when they cross, where they cross, how many cross, knowing they'll overwhelm whatever's left on the border and create gaps in the system.
	If they get hundreds of miles of border and move their product, move their fentanyl, move their, you know, sex trafficking women and children, move to gang members and the criminals.
	And look, move no inspected terrorists.
	These cartels don't care who you move.
	They don't care.
	These people are terrorists.
	They just want to get paid.
	Exactly.
	You know, when people, you know, it used to be when we talked about the border, many would say, oh, but, you know, these people just want to come over here.
	They just need a better life.
	But now I think people's eyes are being opened and they are seeing and understanding that this is much more than just allowing people that need a better life or desire one to come over across that border.
	What we are essentially doing right now, Tom, and I just, it breaks my heart, is we are enabling, we are making rich the cartels, those who mean harm to other people, who, as you said, don't care what happens to those people.
	You know, the ones that are allowing these traffickers to receive young children and the child pornography, the child sex trafficking, the drugs that are killing our citizens.
	We are enabling them to do that.
	We are literally just saying here, do whatever you want to our citizens, to these poor children who have no other way of escape now because they've got caught up in your system, the cartel system.
	We are literally just handing those children to him, the drugs to this country by allowing this to go on.
	It's just, it's unbelievable.
	Look, because of this open border, approximately 300 families are going to be notified today that a child or the risk dies from fentanyl overdoses of a drug coming across that border.
	Tonight, while you and I are talking on this show tonight, while we're talking, a child is going to die on the southern border.
	While we're talking, women are being raped by the criminal cartels.
	31% of women who make that journey through cartels admitted to being raped.
	If 31% of women admitted to being raped, how many actually got raped?
	We're talking.
	People think, well, these come from a better life.
	No.
	There's a whole ugly underbelly of illegal immigration.
	Illegal immigration is not a victim of crime.
	So while we're talking, women are being raped.
	A child's going to die.
	Fentless won't come across the border.
	It's going to break somebody's heart.
	300 families get their hearts broken today.
	So no, this isn't okay.
	And there's right way and wrong way to come to this country.
	You want to be a part of the greatest nation on earth, then you shouldn't be breaking the laws as your first act to come to this nation.
	We got millions of people standing in line, taking their tests, doing their background investigation, paying their fees.
	They want to be a part of this country.
	They're sitting in the back seat.
	Well, we got millions of cheaters.
	And I won't say cheaters.
	They call them asylum seekers.
	But based on data, nine out of 10 don't qualify for asylum.
	Like you said, they're coming for a job.
	So they're cheating the system.
	Meanwhile, there's thousands of people in this world who really do qualify for asylum.
	They really are escaping fear and persecution from their home government because of race, religion, political affiliation.
	That's what asylum is all about.
	They're in the back of the line while these fraudsters, while these criminals, while these people who play in the system overwhelm the border patrol, which is causing the fentanyl, 112,000 fentanyl overdoses, a record number of women and children being sex trafficking, record number of gang members coming to the country.
	Cartels are making billions of dollars a year.
	There is no good side of this.
	We need to secure the borders because if you secure the borders, you save lives.
	Agreed, agreed.
	And that's what it's about.
	It's not, you know, if you really are concerned about the humanity of all of this, then you would want those borders secured for the sake of the children, their children, our children.
	You know, one of the, there was some federal authorities said that there was a seven-day average.
	You know, this is just an average of more than 9,600 migrant encounters along the U.S. border in December alone.
	Last month, in November, the average was 6,800 encounters.
	They've got such huge problems there.
	And I'm going to tell you something.
	Just last week, I think it was before Christmas, Governor Greg Abbott had approved new powers that would allow the police to arrest migrants who illegally crossed our border.
	And then it gave these powers that he established would give local judges the power to order them, those migrants, to leave the country or be charged on misdemeanor charges of illegal entry.
	And then at that point, too, that migrants who don't leave could face arrest again under more serious felony charges.
	Now, of course, it's come up against a lot of opposition.
	And you would want to know, Tom, why?
	Why would this come under opposition when it is, somebody needs to take control of this situation?
	Somebody, the federal government is doing nothing.
	So the states, the states should be permitted, but I don't know that he's going to be permitted in the end to follow through on those powers, that order for those powers.
	I appreciate what Governor Abbott's doing.
	He's done more to secure the border than anybody in this administration.
	And he's protecting Texas at the same time, he's protecting the United States.
	Every ounce of fentanyl is two percent or less overdose deaths.
	At least everybody they arrest for trespassing will get fingerprinted and get vetted, unlike the 1.8 man.
	But I fear he will lose the Supreme Court, just like Arizona lost SB 54 a few years ago.
	Immigration enforcement is our federal responsibility, and I think he'll lose it in court.
	I wish he wouldn't, but I'm just guessing.
	I think based on SB 54, what happened in Arizona, the court's farm, the immigration enforcement is a duty of the federal government.
	It's a shame that the federal government advocated their responsibility to do that.
	I can understand the federal government was trying to enforce immigration law and governor stepped in to take it over.
	But no, the federal government is refusing to enforce southern borders.
	So the governor's stepping in.
	I think it's his constitutional right under clause to do that.
	But my feeling is you'll lose it in court just because the court system is not the same court system we've had last 20 years.
	I think the court system's rigged too.
	And I hope you win, but I'm pessimistic about it.
	Yeah, I agree with you.
	We're talking to Tom Holman.
	Please check out Border911.com.
	He is establishing an organization that is to help save this country and protect our borders.
	It's border911.com.
	Tom, thank you so much for joining me today.
	And I wish you a very happy new year.
	And God help us.
	God help us in this new year.
	Thank you.
	Thanks for having me and keep doing what you're doing.
	We appreciate it.
	And you too.
	You too.
	God bless you.
	All right, we'll be back with the Sean Hannity Show.
	After this, I'm Rose sitting in for Sean today.
	Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
	And I'm Carol Markowitz.
	We've been in political media for a long time.
	Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
	That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
	We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
	We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
	So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.
	Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.

	And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.

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

	Okay, so let's catch up on some of the phone calls.
	Why don't we start with Cliff, who is calling from Tampa, Florida?
	How are you, Cliff?
	Hi, Rose.
	How are you?
	I'm good.
	My favorite place to go when I need to chill and relax and unwind is the big pink hotel right down there in St. Petersburg, not too far from where you are.
	Do you know which one I'm talking about?
	Wonderful.
	Absolutely.
	Don Cesar.
	Yeah.
	First, thank you for being obedient to God's call to ministry.
	We all appreciate that very much.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Wow.
	Thank you.
	I saw a statistic where in 2021, according to the CDC, the number of deaths caused by fentanyl and drug overdose were more than double the number of deaths caused by guns.
	I hear people, you know, as well they should be angry about gun violence.
	I want to know where's the outrage about the open border that's leading to double the number of deaths by fentanyl and drug abuse.
	It just doesn't make sense to me that they would be in support of open borders and yet be so angry about gun deaths.
	And blase about the fentanyl poisoning.
	You know, Cliff, you make a great point because as Tom Holman mentioned, on Christmas Day alone, over 300 families are going to be told that their loved one passed away from a deadly drug.
	And we have a wide open border that allows the cartels, Chinese and Mexican, by the way, they're criminals.
	There's criminal networks and they're operating here with impunity.
	And this is, it should be an outrage.
	You're right.
	This is a humanitarian crisis.
	This is an attack on our children.
	Cliff, what in the heck are we doing about it?
	And I'll tell you what, you know, and they, and let's, let's just narrow it down, put a finer point on all of this.
	When there are five Texans that die every day, they say, from fentanyl poisoning, they are at the point of entry.
	They are right there where it's happening.
	And that's five a day of Texans just in these cities right there on the border.
	This is an outrage.
	And yet, Cliff, you're right.
	We do not hear the outcry really from anyone, do we?
	Unless, of course, God forbid, you should be someone who lost a child to a fentanyl poisoning.
	And there are many that have.
	And it's too bad that that's what it takes.
	And the federal is just a part of the border crisis.
	Right.
	Yeah, just a part.
	Just a thought.
	Yeah, no.
	Thank you so much.
	And it was so nice to hear from you.
	God bless.
	And happy new year to you.
	You too.
	And thank you.
	And then we've got Sean.
	Sean is calling from Pennsylvania.
	That's great.
	What part of Pennsylvania, Sean, are you in?
	In Lancaster County.
	Oh, I love that area.
	And I've met you several times.
	You're doing a great job.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	Thank you very much.
	Did you want to talk about the border?
	I sure do.
	As someone who went through recently, went through the immigration process to bring my wife to the United States.
	We went through everything the exact right way, filed the proper forms, paid the enormous fees.
	And just wondering where's the fairness?
	Well, I mean, a lot of my friends ask the same thing because I have many friends in New York City who own restaurants, are making a goal of things, working hard, paying taxes, did it all the right way, got in line, still waiting.
	And for me, and congratulations, by the way, on your new marriage and your new wife.
	Thank you.
	But for me, I happen to be second generation Italian, and I have heard the stories.
	I had heard the stories over and over again about the rigorous vetting process that my grandparents had to go through to come to this country.
	So, you know, and, you know, they were able to process.
	They were able to vet.
	They were able to do all of those things that needed to be done to protect the rest of the country because they didn't have wide open borders.
	There was a process.
	There was a process.
	And there is nothing wrong with a process, Sean.
	Yep, not at all.
	And here's the thing.
	The vetting is still, that still happens.
	Okay.
	They vetted me financially over and over again to make sure that my beneficiary, my wife, would not become part of the public charge.
	That's the whole process of the fiancé visa program is to make sure that that person comes in, you legally get married, and that there's no danger or little danger of that person becoming part of the public charge.
	But yet thousands upon thousands of people are entering the border every day.
	They're being caught.
	They're being let loose.
	They're being given money.
	And just like your guest said, they're being taken to cities.
	They're offered jobs.
	They're offered housing, benefits, food, education, everything.
	And here I am.
	I went through the right way.
	She now has her green card and she's working.
	But it was all of those things cost money.
	The green card itself is $1,225 just for the filing fee.
	Well, you were charged to provide for her welfare, but the rest of us are being charged to provide for the welfare of millions.
	Don't forget this.
	We're talking millions, not thousands.
	But Sean, that was a great call.
	Thank you so much.
	And happy new year to you.
	And to you.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you so much.
	All right.
	We still have, God bless you.
	You've been waiting.
	I appreciate you.
	Mike calling from Clearwater about the same.
	Well, he's pretty close to one of our last callers down there in Clearwater.
	How are you, Mike?
	And thanks for waiting.
	Yes, ma'am.
	Thank you so much for taking my call.
	There's a few things that I want to talk about, but I'll whittle it down to what are the most important.
	The pastor, what an awesome man.
	I'm visually impaired.
	So if you can get a hold of him and ask him to make that into an audio book, it would make my life a lot easier.
	Oh, I will.
	And then the thing that people have to remember about inflation is when inflation, when you're used to paying, say, $10 or $15 for a pizza and inflation comes and now that same pizza is $20 or $25, I don't care how much inflation goes down.
	That price is the new norm.
	Yes.
	The sticky pricing.
	You know, very rarely do prices ever go down.
	And that's my first point.
	And here's my second point, Rose.
	Look at what they, how they're treating President Trump versus how they're treating Hunter Biden.
	Now, I just want to let you know, Rose, that today is your lucky day.
	Oh, wow.
	Okay.
	I have some business feelings in the works, and I have officially dubbed you the big girl.
	So you will be getting your 10%.
	I promise.
	You look in your bank account within the next few weeks, and the money should start coming in.
	And the suspicious activity reports that that's going to be on you.
	I only send you the money.
	Okay.
	Well, there you go.
	Now that's going to work out for both of us, right?
	I like where you're coming from.
	Thanks for your call.
	You know what?
	And I will talk to them about that audio book, sweetie.
	And you know what?
	God bless you.
	And I pray that you have a happy and prosperous new year.
	God bless.
	Oh, and by the way, real quick too, Mike, you are so right about the prices.
	Once everything's gone up, we've had shrinkflation, which, you know, now we find that the products that we were buying before are smaller or there's less in a box or a package.
	And we're still being asked to pay the same price or even slightly higher.
	You tell me how that all goes back to how it was before Biden economics happened.
	Okay.
	Thank you for your call, sweetie.
	I really appreciate you.
	And I'm sorry I have to go because I have, I want to get a few more on before I do close out the show.
	Let's see.
	We have Ed in North Carolina.
	Hi, Ed.
	How are you?
	Hello.
	I'm from Greene County originally.
	Oh, no kidding.
	That's not too far from where I live.
	That's wonderful.
	I am a convert from, I was raised in a Democrat family.
	And the first time I was on my way to work, I worked at the Washington County Jail.
	And I was on my way to work listening for something to listen to.
	And the first thing I heard was bathroom noises.
	And then followed by you telling Jim Quinn to knock it off that you've had enough.
	I was always telling him that.
	Oh, you're so sweet.
	You can still hear his show at warroom.com, by the way.
	Yeah, I was disappointed when they did that to you guys because I was listening to that, but I've gone from a Democrat to, you guys are getting the credit for converting me.
	Wow.
	And I had for you was, what was the name of the, every Christmas, there was a family local to the Pittsburgh area that you played their music, but it was like only on sale in the summer.
	Oh, I can't remember.
	I know who you're talking about, but I can't, if I think of it, I will mention it on air before I go.
	But thank you for your phone call, sweetie, and happy new year to you.
	I really appreciate you.
	Real quick, let me get Jacob in from Destin, Florida.
	Hey, Jacob.
	Yes, ma'am.
	How are you doing?
	Can you hear me?
	I can.
	How's it going?
	Yes, ma'am.
	I am doing quite well.
	I actually headed back down to Destin from visiting my folks up in Atlanta.
	I really appreciate you taking my call.
	A little bit about myself.
	I'm a prior service Marine and a prior service police officer.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for your service.
	Yes, ma'am.
	And I was listening to your interview with Secretary Holman, and you were absolutely spot on with him and all about the possibility that terrorists have infiltrated this country.
	And my worst fear with that is the fact that they may be bringing in weapons of mass destruction into this country because technically, we are still at war with elements of radical Islamic terrorists.
	All right, well, let me, because I'm running out of time, first tell you, thank you for this call because Jacob, you make a great point.
	And let me remind people that there was a story not long ago, it was in the dailymail.com, if I remember correctly, Border Patrol agents were being warned to be vigilant because America is facing unprecedented migrant surge.
	And they were told to exercise, or the border agents were told to exercise extreme caution and report any possible armed subjects with possible improvised explosive devices.
	Why?
	Because the Mexican military seized at that point, this was just maybe a week or so ago, 10 IEDs at the U.S.-Mexico border at Tucson.
	So yes, Jacob, you are absolutely, positively spot on.
	Thank you for that phone call.
	And thank all of you.
	I still have one more segment left.
	So what we'll do is we'll go to a break so I can spend adequate amount of time that I have left with you.
	And I appreciate all of your phone calls.
	Thank you.
	We'll be back.
	RS scandal and the NSA atrocities convince you.
	You need a watchdog on Washington with Insider Sources.
	What a delight it has been to be with you on the Sean Hannity Show today.
	Please remember to check me out on social media.
	It's Rose Unplugged.
	My podcasts are Rose Unplugged.
	You can get it on Spotify, Apple, and please check out Rumble and subscribe to me on Rumble.
	That would mean a lot to me.
	Also, like me on other social media platforms, roseunplugged.com.
	Subscribe there.
	And she is called by him.com to get my newsletter once a week.
	And, you know, just when we go into this new year, let's try to help others.
	Take a look around you, see who might be someone in need and make it a point to do something for them and ask God every day for direction to make you the very best that you can be in this new year and make the best of your life in 2024.
	And as Pastor Jack Hibbs said, pray for favor because you know what?
	Those prayers, when you set out your day like that, you will be shocked.
	You will be delighted to see just how those prayers are answered.
	And I especially just have such a heart for those who are going through difficult times right now.
	You might see them in a grocery store.
	You might see them in your neighborhood, but really try to stay aware of who you think might be in need and think of ways you can help them.
	If it's the senior citizen that lives on your block, maybe cut their grass, maybe offer to buy groceries or pick something up for them, just without even asking, maybe bless them in some way or another.
	But there's such need out there right now.
	Thank you, Joe Biden, that we should be clearly and openly aware of what is going on around us.
	Because you know what?
	We're not just here for ourselves.
	We need to be here for each other as well, because nobody else is looking out for you.
	The government doesn't care.
	This president, this administration doesn't care.
	So it's up to us to care for one another until things change.
	And let's hope to God and pray to God that they do.
	But in the meantime, I do, I really pray that all of you have a fabulous new year.
	I love that I had the opportunity to spend time with you.
	And again, I would appreciate it so much if you would check me out on social media.
	Again, it's Rose Unplugged, and that's Facebook.
	And Instagram is Rose Unplugged with the number one after it.
	Twitter is RoseUnplug, present tense.
	And also, I have a ministry for women.
	And it's just, we're there just to encourage you, to uplift you, to inspire you to be all that you can be.
	And that is, she is called by him.
	She is calledbyhim.com and she is called by him on all other platforms.
	So it was fun.
	I had a great time with you.
	There's still another great lineup for the rest of the week.
	I don't even know what day it is.
	Don't you get confused when we have these holidays like this?
	It's like, what day?
	Where are we?
	Is it a Saturday or Sunday?
	Jason, Eric, thank you both so much.
	You guys are awesome to work with.
	You really are.
	It's been a pleasure to spend this time with all of you.
	God bless.

	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?
