What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program?
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you'd like to join us, man, we have Tish James.
Wasn't she, Linda?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm sure we'll play it later in the show.
No one is above the law.
She did say that, right?
On several occasions.
I think she was even paid for some of those occasions.
Say, man, well, and then she's in the civil case, didn't she have a judge in that case named Ngoron?
And, you know, it was all about, you know, Donald Trump and his business dealings, et cetera, and the fine detail.
Nothing was done wrong, but didn't the judge in that case value Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida?
Now, I know these prices for everybody listening to this program sound insane because they are insane, but that's Palm Beach, Florida.
And the price of real estate is a small island and with very few waterfront properties, relatively speaking.
And it is one of the most desired areas in all of Florida.
And it just is what it is.
But there is a lot that you could look up that is for sale on a busy corner.
You can actually break it into two lots.
One would be on the inner coastal with a very short intercoastal, not a particularly great view.
And the other side would be on the ocean side, but between the ocean and the house, you have a busy street, and that is going for $200 million.
And that would be a two-acre property.
What is Mar-a-Lago?
22, 24 acres.
It is a historic property.
It's got two clubs associated with it.
It is in meticulous condition.
It's got 50-some-odd bedrooms and bathrooms and swimming pool and a ballroom.
And I mean, it's out of control.
And the estimates, according to real estate people that were willing to testify before that judge, would have been a billion, billion and a half dollars.
But why let mere details get in the way?
Anyway, the U.S. Federal Housing Director William Pulte referred to the DOJ and Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, and the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing Letitia James of falsifying bank documents and property records to acquire government-backed assistance and loans and more favorable long terms.
Now, this would be exactly the case if it was Donald Trump that Letitia James would try to turn into a federal case, which he did.
And the Trump administration, by the way, now is accusing the Attorney General of committing mortgage bank fraud by making false statements on bank lending applications to receive more favorable terms, exactly what Tish James tried to prosecute President Trump for as part of her lawfare campaign.
Remember, she ran on a platform to get Trump at any cost and the Trump organization and bankrupt them with a half a billion dollar unprecedented fine.
And the case was the same legal fiasco where this hacked judge in Goron claimed Mar-a-Lago was only $18 million.
Not a single Democrat, by the way, cares about justice, ever spoke out about how dishonest and fraudulent that all was.
Anyway, so the Trump administration now referring the New York Attorney General for potential criminal charges.
Well, I mean, in one incident cited in the referral, James claimed she lived in Virginia so she could purchase a home in Norfolk, Virginia, while serving as the New York Attorney General, where she is required to reside for her job.
In other words, claiming that she lived there.
In a separate incident, she allegedly, that's what the allegation is, misrepresented the description of a property that she owns in Brooklyn, New York to meet requirements for a government-backed loan.
And based on media reports, James has, in multiple instances, filed falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government-backed assistance and loans on more favorable terms.
Anyway, Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, said that we will be reviewing it.
Said that earlier today.
2016 report revealed Letitia James had committed campaign finance fraud back to the New York Observer at the time.
In November of 2016, the finance board slapped then public advocate Letitia James with a $5,705 fine for various violations committed by her 2013 campaign to become the city's watchdog.
And James had put in claims for public funds during the 2013 election, received $1,153,058 in public money.
She was fined $1,500 for failing to file pre-election disclosure statements, got hit with a penalty and for contributions from unregistered political committees, and it goes on from there.
Anyway, earlier today, the embattled New York Attorney General ducked reporters outside her Brooklyn home, refusing to answer questions about this simmering mortgage fraud scandal.
And James, who infamously declared no one is above the law when prosecuting Donald Trump, you know, feigned talking on her cell phone as reporters peppered her with questions.
She had never had a problem talking about Donald Trump.
Amazing she wouldn't put the phone down today.
Anyway, she draws an annual salary of $220,000, apparently, allegedly, according to this filing, falsified records to get this sweetheart home loan for her Virginia property that she claimed was her principal residence in 2023 while serving as a New York state prosecutor.
So we'll see what happens.
Whoopsie-daisy.
You live by law fair, you can die by law fair.
It'll be pretty interesting to watch how this thing unfolds.
We have a lot of other news today.
Now, Japan is in Washington, representatives from Japan.
And why are they there?
They're negotiating a trade deal.
They're negotiating an end to the tariffs that are being placed on America.
My prediction is: I don't know if Japan will be first.
According to officials in the administration, there are 15 countries that have hard deals on the table that they'd like to sign immediately.
And there's 130 other countries now that are on the waiting list to come up with their deal with the administration.
I mean, these countries know that they've been ripping us off.
They know that their tariffs on us have not been reciprocal.
They know that this is the first time in 50, 60 years that a president is demanding fundamental basic fairness.
It's especially offensive when it happens with countries that rely on us for our defense.
By the way, in economic news, for the first time ever, computer processing maker AMD plans to produce its advanced microchips in America.
This is the third huge big semiconductor microchip deal in this country since Donald Trump began threatening tariffs.
Anyway, they said today that the processor chips would soon be made at semiconductor facilities in Arizona.
It'd be the first time that their products will be manufactured in the United States.
Our new fifth-generation processor is doing very well.
And they noted they had completed an acquisition of a leading supplier of AI servers in the U.S., which expands its U.S. footprint, and they are building in America.
Biden, we learned, by the way, in today's New York Post, Betsy McCoy chronicles that during Donald Trump's first term, Trump began trying to reverse America's growing dependence on China and for most of our antibiotics and pharmaceuticals.
This is now a health national security issue.
And then Joe Biden came along, pulled the plug on the entire effort, guaranteeing that America would be dependent on China and our dependency would only get worse.
And she writes that China has a death grip on America's generic drug market as well as basic medical equipment that every single doctor and doctor's office relies on.
That's why China's trying to use their maximum amount of leverage.
That's why they pulled the rare minerals that we import from them.
China is the sole manufacturer of 100 of our most commonly used medications.
That's got to end, especially, God forbid we ever face a COVID 2.0 with no thanks to the communist Chinese.
In 2020, Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to push manufacturers in the U.S. to producing up to a third of our nation's gloves, similar supplies domestically.
I mean, this all started back then, and we realized how dependent we were.
Similarly, U.S. imports of finished Chinese pharmaceuticals and active drug ingredients short after 2020.
Biden only gave lip service, but he stopped the process and went right back to dependency.
Honda's considering moving from Mexico and Canada, their production right here into the U.S., we've been telling you about their plans and Toyota's plans and Nissan's plans and Hyende's plans, while China's lashing out, calling us peasants here in the United States.
And the media, like Jonathan Carl at ABC, you know, say, well, what are we going to be?
A nation of cobblers because we'll have manufacturing back in America.
Well, you know what?
I guess the 20 years I spent in the service industries and the trades, I guess that makes me a cobbler, but I'm a proud cobbler.
It was some of the best years of my life, taught me life's best lessons.
I mean, Gavin Newsom is just clueless.
He really is.
His lawsuit, he just filed a lawsuit seeking to block Donald Trump from enacting his tariff plan.
Good luck, Garfin.
You're going to lose.
Why don't you focus on fixing the mess you created out in California because it's a mess.
In pretty much every category, California comes in dead last, no matter how many times you try to go on television and say just the opposite is true.
It just isn't true.
Anyway, so Japan and the U.S. negotiating high stakes today, and it is a test as China's trying to choke off critical mineral supplies.
But the economic pain, or is it going to be Chinese power?
I will tell you right now is that the world fears, rightly so, China.
Look, on every product you can think of that we get from China, I am telling you they're putting massive tariffs on it.
And they've been abusing our country, and we've allowed them to get away with it.
And at some point, it's shame on them.
At some point, it's shame on us.
And right now, we're at the shame on us point.
Anyway, you know, just we got to give this a little bit of time to work, and I'm pretty sure that we're well on our way to doing so, as evidenced by the $8 trillion and monies committed over the next four years.
Very interesting, the judge that helped the Democrats cover up their Russia hoax is now threatening to prosecute Trump officials for ignoring his verbal order.
Boesberg is back in the news, Judge Bozberg.
He said the court had ultimately determined the Trump administration's actions on the March 15 deportation flights, which took place after he issued a bench ruling ordering the immediate return to U.S. soil, demonstrate a willful disregard for the court, insufficient for the court to be found in criminal contempt, which is sufficient rather.
And should they fail to answer his question by April 23rd, he said he will refer the matter for potential prosecution.
Here we go again.
More lawfare.
Trump, by the way, unloading on Harvard.
Why do we give Harvard a penny?
Why is one tax dollar when you think of the people that pay taxes in this country?
Why should hardworking tradesmen in America have to pay one penny?
Why should factory workers, manufacturer, manufacturing facility workers, why should they pay one penny?
Why should nurses and other health care workers pay one penny to send some liberal woke snot-nosed brat to Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Princeton, Brown, or any of these other Ivy League institutions?
We shouldn't.
Now, if they want to go to an elite university, they can take some time off and work and save money.
They can get mommy and daddy to pay for it.
Maybe they can take out loans for it that they will have to pay back on their own and not expect us to pay them back.
And if we're going to spend money on education or advanced education, maybe we should shore up community colleges and trade schools.
I talked about this article I read a couple of months ago that the next class of millionaires in America are going to be tradespeople.
And if you think of the impact on AI and how many jobs and careers they're going to take over, one job and career I don't see them ever taking over is hard work and building homes and doing plumbing or being a nurse.
I don't know.
I mean, you could do a lot of robotics, but you can't do that.
President Trump revealed his proudest accomplishment in an interview with Rachel Campos Duffy.
And he said it's the border.
And the border's pretty much closed.
He's right on that.
We'll get to that later.
White House proposal is talking about eliminating the $13 billion we give annually to the UN.
I've been wanting this forever.
I want the end of globalization.
We're out of the Paris Climate Accords.
We're out of the WEF.
We're out of the WHO.
United Nations historically has been anti-Semitic and anti-American.
And then we give another $3.5 billion for NATO.
How about we spend that money on our national defenses?
And if they need our help at the time, and they're good trading partners and good partners overall, we'd be glad to help them.
But you know what?
There's different ways of looking at things, and it's time to look at everything anew.
IRS, this is interesting.
They're planning to cut up to 40% of their workforce after Tuesday, mark the official end of tax filing season.
Really?
Do we really need all these IRS people harassing every American every year?
Can't tell you.
It's like file taxes, Hannity, check.
I must be on like some system because they never find anything, but they always audit it anyway.
There must be a mark neck.
Don't you think there's got to be like a, oh, Hannity Pullo's file, you know, marker in their computer system, Linda?
It's got to be something.
It's got to be a favorite.
I would think at least top 10.
Oh, my gosh.
And then they never find it.
Maybe top five.
I don't know, given the 57 pages they released the first time.
I keep, you know, I have accountants and lawyers, and then I hire another accounting firm and lawyer, legal firm to go through what the first firm did.
And I don't know, I have nothing to do with the process.
And my guidance to them is pay it.
Whatever you think we owe, pay.
And don't mess around with it.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
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.

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.
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Newsom signs another $3 billion bailout for her California Medicaid program.
Medi-Cal, he's had to borrow, what, $7, $10 billion in a state that's running deficit after deficit, the highest tax state in the country.
And the reason is with their sanctuary state and all the sanctuary city statuses, he refused to pull back on paying for all of the health care, all the education for the illegal immigrants that they allow into their state.
And if California wants to be the sanctuary haven that they want to be, then let them bear the cost of all that.
The rest of the country that does not support illegal immigration should not have to pay for that.
And he's got dreams of picking out the drapes in the White House.
Good luck with that, considering his radicalized positions on pretty much everything.
Anyway, if you want to save money, we're still living under the Biden-Harris economy and not sacrifice service, one way you can do it is make the switch to Pure Talk, which is my cell phone provider, a veteran-owned company.
And the beauty of Pure Talk is you get the exact same service as the big carriers, AT ⁇ T, Verizon T-Mobile, because they use the same cell towers, the same 5G network, and the average family saves over $1,000 a year.
But those big companies, they offer me free phones, Hannity.
Okay, fine.
Make sure you read the fine print, will you?
Does it require that you sign up for four lines, not one?
Does it have activation fees?
I bet it probably does.
Are you going to pay $100 a month for a lot of service that you're never going to want, need, or use?
Probably is a better way.
PureTalk has a better offer, a free phone with a qualifying plan for $35 a month.
You'll get a brand new Samsung Galaxy A26, and all you need to do to make this switch, well, you get for $35 a month, unlimited talk, unlimited text, 15 gigs of data, mobile hotspot roaming, and you just simply dial pound 250 on your cell, say the keyword save now, and you'll make the switch.
It'll be simple, fast, and easy.
Pound 250, keyword save now.
Get your free Samsung Galaxy with a qualifying plan when you switch to Pure Talk, which is wireless by Americans and for Americans.
Pretty unbelievable.
Let me go to this immigration issue, which is really driving me up a wall.
Because Democrats, like I have been saying, have been so radicalized as a party.
I want to go to Senator Von Holland from Maryland, and I want to play him just this week.
I guess it was at a town hall.
They're at a session right now, and they're doing town halls.
And this is what he said about this person that they claim is from Maryland.
Everyone says The media, the guy's from Maryland.
The guy's from Maryland.
The guy's from Maryland.
No, the guy is in the country illegally.
The guy is from El Salvador.
The guy is not an American citizen.
He entered our country illegally.
Not one but two judges determined that he was also a gang member.
I'll read from May 19th, immigration judge, quote, regardless, the determination that the respondent is a gang member appears to be trustworthy and is supported by other evidence in the record, namely information contained in the gang field interview sheet and the fact that a past proven and reliable source of information verified the respondent's gang membership,
rank, and gang name is sufficient to support the respondent is a gang member.
And the respondent has failed to present evidence to rebut that assertion.
December 2019, the finding that he is a gang member upheld by another judge.
We adopt and affirm the immigration judge's danger ruling.
The immigration judge appropriately considered allegations of gang affiliation against Garcia and determined that Garcia has not demonstrated he is not a danger to property or persons.
Anyway, the DHS says Garcia would be deported again if he returned to the U.S. because he's an MS-13 gang member.
And by the way, that has now been categorized by the Trump administration and designated as a terrorist organization.
You know, so you have this Democratic gang member poster child for Trump's so-called deportation abuses, you know, turns out, according to two judges, to be a gang member.
Now, Rachel Morin, the mother of five, that was murdered by a Biden-Harris illegal.
This woman, mother of five, was brutally raped and unbelievably murdered in cold blood.
Later in the program, I will play I had her mother Patty on TV last night in a heart-wrenching interview.
It is the saddest thing as she describes having to look at the autopsy pictures and look at the crime scene pictures of her daughter that had been so brutalized by this person.
Now, remember, Von Holland is from Maryland.
Do you think he ever took the time to pick up the phone and call Patty Morin, who lost her daughter, Rachel Morin, mother of five?
This mother will never see her daughter again.
Rachel Morin's five children will never see their mother again.
And this guy never bothered to pick up a phone and call her.
Neither did Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or Alejandro Mayorkas.
As far as I am concerned, all of them have blood on their hands.
But the big cause celeb now, oh, they made a mistake.
This guy's not a gang member.
He's from Maryland.
He's not from Maryland.
He's a citizen of El Salvador.
He came into our country illegally.
It's not my fault that not one but two judges designated him a gang member.
Do I know if he's a gang member?
How would I possibly know what his affiliations are?
But certainly that was their determination.
Now, interesting side note before I play Von Hollen is that the New York Post reports today that this alleged, according to two judges, MS-13 member, who was deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador's notorious mega prison, was also previously accused of physically abusing his wife, who has been fiercely advocating for his release.
I don't know why, based on her previous filing.
Anyway, Garcia's wife, Jennifer Vasquez, applied for a protective order against her husband in 2021, saying that he punched, scratched, grabbed, bruised her, according to court documents.
The Department of Homeland Security shared Vasquez's allegation on X, saying that it's evidence Garcia had a history of violence, was not the upstanding Maryland man that the state-run legacy media mob and Democrats have been portraying him to be.
Lawyers representing Garcia didn't respond to requests to the previous allegations.
Now, the guy, the senator from Maryland, who didn't call Maryland resident Rachel Morin or her mother, really went to bat for this guy.
Listen.
I don't even know if we announced this, but I am planning tomorrow to go to El Salvador.
Thank you.
I heard that, but I didn't know that was public.
Thank you.
Oh, hey, man.
Yes.
Yes.
Pam Bondi, when Caitlin Collins, by the way, nobody watches that show.
Did you see, have you seen the ratings?
How bad it is on CNN?
It's so bad.
CNN has been very bad for a very long time, and they're very weird in a very weird way.
Yeah, they really are.
Good point.
Anyway, the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
I don't know why they keep saying mistakenly.
And the president said, Pam, would you like to answer this?
We played it on the program yesterday.
And she said, first and foremost, he was illegally in our country.
He had been illegally in our country.
And in 2019, two courts, an immigration court, an appellate immigration court, ruled that he was a member of MS-13, and he was illegally in our country.
Right now, it was a paperwork, an additional paperwork had needed to be done.
That's up to El Salvador if they want to return him.
That's not up to us.
And then Stephen Miller chimed in.
As two immigration courts have found, he was a member of MS-13.
When President Trump declared MS-13 to be a foreign terrorist organization, that meant he was no longer eligible under federal law, that he was no longer eligible for any form of immigration relief in the United States.
So he has a deportation order that was valid, which meant that under our law, he cannot even be allowed to be present in the U.S. and had to be returned because of the foreign terrorist designation.
And Caitlin Collins.
Now, here's what we do know.
Garcia was in the United States illegally.
He entered the country whenever and was granted legal status by an immigration judge who found that he was facing danger from gang members in his home country.
You know, it's like these are people that have never taken the time to ever interview these mothers, and there were dozens and dozens of Americans murdered by Biden-Harris illegals.
Nobody cared.
Dozens raped by Biden-Harris illegals.
Nobody cared.
There's been thousands and thousands of Americans victims of violent crime.
Nobody cares.
The cartels, the gangs selling drugs, killing our kids.
They don't ever talk about that, but they care about the guy that was designated an MS-13 member by not one but two judges, immigration judges in this country.
And this goes to the heart of where Democrats are as a party.
What do I keep saying?
They're the party that champions the rights of men to play women's sports.
They're championing, they're not sympathetic towards Rachel Morin or Jocelyn Nunngari or Lake and Riley or the other victims of murder and rape and violent crime.
They are putting the rights of illegals over the safety of Americans.
This is insane.
But that's the modern left Democratic Party.
If you try to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you're creating a constitutional crisis.
By the way, a Georgia man charged with threatening to kill the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, Ali Akbar Mohammed Amin was taken into custody, charged under a sealed federal complaint that was unsealed following his initial appearance in federal court.
He's being held without bond.
These are scary times when you think of all of this that's going on, everything that's happened with Tesla, everything that's happened to President Trump, you know, everything, the fact that the left supports these pro-Hamas spoiled brats on college campuses around the country.
It turns out the confessed arsonist that tried to kill Josh Shapiro and his family on Passover told police he did it for the Palestinian people.
He said he needed to know that Governor Shapiro needed to know that he will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people, according to the warrant.
He said, you all know where to find me.
I'm not hiding, and I'll confess to everything that I had done.
Okay, good.
Put him in jail.
Throw away the key.
It's fine with me.
Not a problem.
A lot of stuff going on.
Oh, by the way, Joe Biden spoke.
Did you see what he said, Linda?
Let's play some Joe Biden from last night, his first speech since leaving office.
It's about dignity.
Simple dignity.
Everyone, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, regardless of their standard, regardless of economic history, regardless of who they are.
Fewer than 100 days, this new administration has made so much, done so much damage and so much destruction.
It's kind of breathtaking it could happen that soon.
They've taken a hatch into the Social Security Administration, pushing an additional 7,000 employees, 7,000, out the door in that time.
We can't go on like this as a divided nation, as divided as we are.
Like I said, I've been doing this a long time.
It's never been this divided.
Granted, it's roughly 30%, but it's a 30% that has no heart.
And I had never seen, I had never seen hardly any black people at the time, and I was only going in fourth grade.
And I remember seeing the kids going by at the time called colored kids on a bus going by.
Colored kids.
This is the guy that partnered with the former Klansman.
Never got called out by it.
The only person, interestingly, that called him out on it was during the primary before 2020 in that election was Kamala Harris.
I was that little girl when he stood with Robert Byrd to stop the integration of public schools and busing because he didn't want public schools to become racial jungles.
But Democrats that claim that they have a monopoly of, you know, moral superiority on issues involving race, yeah, they didn't do a thing.
They let it happen.
I think we were probably one of the few news outlets to even talk about it.
By the way, protesters had to be tased by cops at a chaotic Marjorie Taylor Greentown hall.
Not sure what was going on there.
And the New York Times omitted a key detail from the Josh Shapiro arson suspect.
And anyway, they failed to note that he's a self-proclaimed socialist.
Oopsie-daisy.
I bet if he was a conservative, they would have done it.
Harvard is now fighting with the support of Barack Obama, the White House, harder than it's ever fought anti-Semitism.
You know, why is that?
Why do they, why are they, you know, these, think about this, these woke institutions of higher learning that have all these rigid, you know, you must use the proper pronoun and don't ever say anything that is racist or sexist or homophobic or xenophobic, et cetera.
And we all love one another.
But it was perfectly okay to support a terrorist organization and sympathize with them when they have in their very charter the destruction of Israel.
No problem.
They don't deserve one penny of your hard-earned tax dollars.

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.
