And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
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?
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, we're coming to your city.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song.
We'll all be in fire.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
If you're honest about yourself and your reputation, you want to leave when you can still walk out the front door and not be carried out the back door.
Would you be willing to take an IQ test publicly as head to head against the president of the United States?
Absolutely.
Do you regret saying that President Biden had uh a mental acuity?
He had a sharpness to him.
You said that up until July of last year.
I said what I believe to be true.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming to your centaur.
Don't play our guitar's and say you a conscious song.
Sean Hannity is the new Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, 800 941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program, as we reported in the last hour.
So we now have it revealed that Kilmar or Brago Garcia, the deported cause celeb of the radical left, uh deported El Salvadorian man, not a Marylander.
They keep saying a Marylander.
No, he wasn't a Marylander.
Anyway, at the center of this intense political debate that Democrats are now beginning to wonder if this is a political fight worth having.
Now there's a lot of questions here, as is and also questions that Democrats are now have gone all in on a brego Garcia.
They've gone all in on this pro Hamas uh former Columbia student leading these these protests on campus.
Those are the the ones where they were asking people if they're Zionists or not.
And now the question is whether or not these are civil rights violations at some point.
And I we're gonna talk to Harmy Dillon, who is the assistant attorney for civil rights at the U.S. Department of Justice in just a second about this.
But I want to remind you, let's go back to the wife of Breg uh Brago Garcia.
And remember, in writing, her own handwriting, she not once but twice told police that her husband was a wife beater.
Let's just remind you of what she said when asked about this.
And I know this is a sensitive question, but I have to ask it.
You you did take out a temporary order of protection against your husband in 2021.
were you in fear of your husband Husband is alive.
Um, that's all I can say are you in fear of of your husband?
My husband's alive.
That's not an answer.
And then if you listen to prominent Democrats led by Chris Van Holland, you know, he was asked twice this weekend if Abrego Garcia is a member of MS 13 as not one but two separate judges had had ascertained and determined and and classified him as.
Listen.
Can you say with absolute certainty that he is not, nor has he ever been a member of the MS 13 gang?
And did you ask him point blank?
Well, Dan, uh, what Donald Trump is trying to do here is change the subject.
Uh the subject at hand is that he and his administration are defying a court order to give people to give a brego Garcia his due process rights.
But since you were the one person to have met with him, and since this is a uh a thing, you say on social media, it's what we hear from Donald Trump and Republicans every day all day long.
You didn't ask him?
I didn't ask him that because I know what his answer is.
Uh what he told me was he was sad, traumatized that he was being in prison because he has committed no crimes.
Now remember, this is the same Chris Van Holland.
He wouldn't answer the question, you know.
Did you ask?
Is he a member of MS 13?
Uh Trump is trying to change the subject.
No, he's not.
Because it's extraordinarily relevant.
And you had not one, you had Kayla Hamilton, you had Rachel Morin, mother of five, both raped brutally and murdered brutally in his state of Maryland, and this jackass wouldn't pick up a telephone and call the family and offer his deepest condolences and sympathies uh that it happened.
He went along with the big lie that the border's secured, the border is closed, and Joe Biden is not a cognitive mess.
Anyway, what can the DOJ do about this?
Harmit Dylan is with us, assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Department of Justice.
Uh Harmit, welcome to the program.
Thanks for being with us.
Thanks for having me, Sean.
Okay, so if you're a designated MS 13 member and and two judges decide, how is this the civil rights case of the century?
Now I think this is backfiring on Democrats because as we know more and more about the history, but what can your department do?
Because I think this is a civil rights issue, because obviously Lakin Riley, Jocelyn Nungarry, Kayla Hamilton, Rachel Moore, they they they didn't have an opportunity to have their their due justice, if you will.
Well, so first of all, there are definitely different departments of the Department of Justice and other agencies that are dealing with this particular situation, and all of them, all of the illegal aliens coming into this country, they pose criminal threats, they pose uh terrorist threats, they pose drug importation threats.
So this is a multi-agency problem.
At a fundamental level, I think every human being has a uh natural light, natural right and a civil right to be free from this kind of violence and harassment.
And so at some point one might ask whether there have been conspiracies by different organizations colluding with government officials to let people like this into the country, and and you know, that would be a civil rights issue for the civil rights division to look at.
Well, I think it's important because obviously if you're raped and murdered, your civil rights rights were violated, weren't they by definition?
Uh that's the most uh basic right is the right to right to life.
I would I would think so.
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
Uh so much for that.
You know, the the most frustrating thing here, and maybe you can analyze what's going on in the minds of of Democrats.
Well, why have they why have they they they gleaned on to this with such fervor and such passion, and meanwhile, almost all of them, without exception, never picked up a phone and called the victims of the illegal immigrants in this country that came under Biden and Harris unvetted that are responsible for murder and rape and so many other violent crimes.
Why could you know tell me why they prioritize this as a as as something bigger and more extraordinary to take care of?
Well, you know, from a political science perspective, it's really puzzling to see um you know senators having margaritas with gangbangers and and making them sympathetic as if that's uh uh something that the public wants.
I don't think the public wants it.
Well, Wait a minute.
You you don't have you don't have margaritas with gangbangers, really?
I mean, I wouldn't recommend it if I were a political consultant, uh, even to um, you know, the other side of the aisle, but but I think uh uh stepping back from this particular situation, they've been on autopilot promoting illegal aliens coming into this country for decades, uh conflating legal immigrants with illegal immigrants, disrespecting our border, and then also trying to prevent states from actually verifying citizenship when it comes to federal voting.
So that is again something that we deal with in the civil rights division is uh protecting our right to vote.
And so overall Democrats have had this agenda for many decades and they can't help themselves.
It's it's the autopilot that they're on.
The other cause celeb that they are clinging on to is one of the organizers, he had graduated, I guess he got a PhD or or an advanced degree at Columbia University, but if you go back to you know, post uh uh the October seventh attack on Israel from twenty twenty-three, uh you had all of these pro Hamas protesters on these college campuses, and one of the leaders was this guy, Khalil.
He is not an American citizen.
He is now being held in a detention center in Louisiana, and now Democratic congressmen and women have taken up his cause.
I'm not sure, Harmie, maybe you can explain to me.
Uh, because uh on that date that we'll live in infamy in Israel, they had the equivalent of losing 40,000 Americans if you extrapolate out their population size versus ours in a single day.
Can you imagine 40,000 dead Americans?
We lost two thousand nine hundred and seventy-seven on nine eleven oh one.
And I'm not sure what part of murder, rape, kidnapping, and torture the left is having a hard time understanding here.
Look, I I can't disagree with you at all.
It was a horrific act.
The fact that anybody within our borders, much less uh people seeking, you know, to be here permanently, would take that position and and uh lawmakers would endorse that person staying in the country is shocking.
It shocks the conscience really, Sean.
So I don't know politically if they think this plays well, and maybe it would some segments of the voting populace.
I think those segments are pretty small.
And I think that uh I think you know, it that tallies right into the work that we're doing at civil rights to eradicate anti-semitism on campuses all over the country.
That's a huge problem.
It's happening on over investigating over sixty campuses in the United States.
So this this virus i is infecting the minds of the majority of the uh Americans going to college today, and it's a huge problem that we're fighting here in civil rights.
I know you're working closely with my friend and former colleague, Leo 2.0 Torrell, and he has planned and he actually delayed it in light of what's been going on with Harvard and I the the fact that we spend a whopping six hundred and fifty-six million dollars or we spent in in fiscal year twenty-four for Harvard,
and meanwhile they got fifty-three point what, uh fifty-three billion dollars, which is about like eight million dollars a student, which is insane, and we give them one penny, and I don't think they deserve their tax exempt status either.
Uh, but that's a different argument for a different day.
But the plan is to go to college campuses.
Uh what are you going to be looking for?
Because if you remember in Columbia, there were reports that students were being asked if they're a Zionist, and if they answered affirmatively, they were not allowed to pass.
Now I thought these universities were bastions of of wokeness and ex acceptance and tolerance, etc., but apparently not if you're Jewish.
Well, I since we have multiple ongoing lawsuits and investigations, I won't get into any specifics, but let me give you the the big picture, which is we are looking into multiple investigations, including civil pattern of practice cases in the UC system under Title VII, which is employment in um employment discrimination against people of the Jewish faith.
We filed a statement of interest in federal courts aborting Jewish students at UCLA have been been barred from going to their classes by uh by activists.
We're working with DOJ attorneys and the Department of Education and civil rights groups nationwide to identify these cases.
I saw the horrific situation at Yale two nights ago and spoke to you know, we're was communicating with some students over there, and luckily we saw Yale step up.
And it was not luckily, I should say, it is because the Department of Justice under Pam Bondi's leadership and with Leo Terrell and others making noise about this issue that schools are beginning to self-correct.
So yesterday Yale revoked the student organization status of the individuals who are harassing uh Orthodox ascitic Jewish students and preventing them from going to class on Tuesday night.
Quick break, right back more with Harmide Dillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice.
We'll get to your calls on the other side as well.
800-941 Sean.
All right, we continue now.
Harmide Dillon is with us, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice.
What do you make of and and what might be done to remedy what had happened in the last administration?
And I I believe and we have chronicled often on this program and on my television show how the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland and Joe Biden have been weaponized and politicized, and the same with you know the FBI and our intelligence community.
How do you remedy the way Christians have been treated in this country, pro-life Americans that were peacefully protesting that were brought into the court system and the legal system?
Is there a remedy that that maybe you your division will be looking into?
Well, the first remedy is when the president nominated someone who cares about those issues to this physician.
I have spent my career uh representing people of faith, and one case is at the Supreme Court involving the rights of Christians to pray during COVID, and the President's executive order, 14202 eradicating anti-Christian bias takes aim at the federal government itself, in which there has been discrimination against Christians in various factors, including uh Christians uh who uh objected to the vaccine mandates being dismissed from the military, and our Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is inviting those folks back.
Um there's so many other incidents.
We're also in civil rights division representing and taking act action against um criminals who are interfering with the right of people of faith, including many Christians to pray without fear of violence, um firebombing, fake bombs being strapped into churches and so forth.
We are um taking aim on discriminatory zoning happening throughout the United States under um uh a federal statute that protects the right of people of faith to be able to buy and use real estate to expand their houses of worship.
And so it goes on and on.
We ha absolutely are a faith-friendly administration.
Our constitution and our founders were faith-friendly, and I'm very passionate about this issue, Sean.
So both on the anti-Semitic and the anti-Christian bias issues, we are extremely active already in this administration, and it's only going to ramp up as we staff up here in civil rights.
I was just listening to you.
The r you you have to defend the right to pray during COVID.
It's it's kind of unimaginable that that would be a topic we'd ever discuss.
What do you make?
And we only have a minute left of assassination culture, uh, the radical left, some of them praising Luigi Mangioni, the guy accused of assassinating the United Healthcare CEO, or or those that are pro-Hamas or or those that cheer on uh domestic terrorism against Tesla, bullets fired into Tesla dealerships and charging stations set ablaze and Tesla set ablaze and owners being doxxed.
What can happen with that?
It is sickening.
And you know, it is it it isn't accidental, Sean, that people are joking about assassination and casually talking about it.
There's a culture, there's a permissive culture in our media and social media that enables this.
So every decent person, I think has a moral duty to stand up when people say stupid things like that and say, that's gross, that's unacceptable.
You're canceled.
I'm not gonna be standing here and listening to this, because that's not acceptable because that leads to these assassinations and this violence, and so we need to shut that down.
Harmide Dylan, assistant attorney general for civil rights at the U.S. Department of Justice.
Harmite, thank you for being with us and keep up the good work.
We appreciate your time.
It's my pleasure.
Thank you, Sean.
800-941 Sean on number if you want to be a part of the program.
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.

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 Mayfock from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yeah, that's right.
Locker up.
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Now that we made some money for our sponsors, let's go back to making the liberals crazy.
The handman is back on the radio right now.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour.

All right.
The left and their identity crisis and their radicalism and their radical leaders are now out there fighting publicly.
David Hogg is the DNC vice chair, and he has pledged to raise and pledging money himself, hundreds of millions of dollars to primary Democrats, pretty much if they're not towing the hardcore Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Squad, left wing, line, and being left-wing radical activists.
Here's what he said.
Just to say.
And I want to be clear all this money that we're raising is not only being spent on primaries by any means.
That is the story that a lot of journalists and media run with.
We are working on the city.
What do you think of spend it on?
We're also going to be spending it on frontline seats where great young people are running, right?
If they are the Democratic nominee to make sure we're bringing in fresh faces to Congress.
Right now, we talk about diversity all the time in Congress.
One of the things that we don't talk about as much in regard to that is age.
Currently, if we had the same number of 25 to 30 year olds in Congress as you do proportionally to the population, we would have over 40 people under the age of 30 in Congress.
And I don't know if you've looked at Congress recently.
We have one that is under the age of 30.
That is not good for the future of the Democratic Party.
But there are members too, because it's not just a matter of age, it is a matter of effectiveness.
People say, Well, David, is this just out with the old and in with the new?
I would say no.
This is out with the ineffective and in with the effective.
Because we need members who are ready to meet this moment to fight back against Donald Trump and what I back against Trump.
Resistance, resistance, resistance.
I mean, it's like a broken record.
Now, the interesting part of this, and this is where the intramural squabble now has ratcheted up.
Uh now remember David Hogg is the DNC vice chair.
The DNC chair is Ken Martin.
Here's what he says, and how he rebukes David Hogg, primary is his idea to primary other Democrats or elected Democrats currently in office.
Listen.
Let me be unequivocal.
No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger.
If you want to challenge incumbents, you're more than free to do that, but just not as an officer of the DNC, because our job is to be neutral arbiters.
Uh we can't be both uh uh the the referee uh and also the player at the same time.
Oh, okay.
Anyway, 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, uh let us go to Raymond.
He's in the United Socialist Utopia known as California, Gavin Newsom Country.
What's up, Raymond?
How are you?
Uh Sean, great.
How are you?
Good.
What's going on?
Yeah, this uh I well, like I said, I was uh I live in California.
I was just retired about a year ago as a correction officer for 30 years.
And this this whole thing with uh Garcia, these tattoos, they're not accidental.
These these, you know, these are badges of honor.
They have to work to get.
In fact, uh to be caught with one of those tattoos on you and you're not a gang member, it's like that's like a death sentence in in prison at least.
And uh I I don't understand why they can't.
In fact, that's also one of the ways that the prison validates you as a gang member.
Simple tattoo on your arm.
Well, let me ask you this question.
I brought this up yesterday.
Why would anybody ever get tattoos that uh that are related to MS 13 or Trend Aragor or any of these gangs if they weren't associated with the gangs?
Uh doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't think the average person is saying, you know what, I think I'm gonna get an MS 13 tattoo.
Uh if they're not a member of MS 13.
They would kill you in prison if you had it done and you weren't a member, and like a full-fledged member.
You'd be right.
And and by the way, when you would uh by the way, my mom was a retired corrections officer, spent most of her adult life doing double shifts in jail, which I believe, you know, killed her at a young age.
Um and it's a very, very hard job.
And and she probably was not in uh well, like what kind of prison were you in?
Maximum security, minimum security.
For the for the second half of my career, all maximum.
And I I I did thirty years and my last 15, 16 in the level four, yeah, in uh in Delaney.
So you were dealing with the worst of the worst.
Yep, oh yeah.
On a daily.
And you know, and how did you I I used to ask my mother this how and she didn't want to talk about it, and she didn't want to answer me.
But I'd ask, Well, how how do you deal with these people?
Because even though it was a county jail, they had everybody that was accused of murder and uh waiting trial or uh what whatever.
They they had the whole spectrum of people there.
And I was like, Well, how do you deal with these people?
And she said, I'm just like very firm and and I show them respect, but I'm also a very clear.
And at the towards the end of her career, she would take them to court and tell them uh if you run on my watch, I will shoot you.
She did tell me that.
Can't do that, which is why what that last guy just so they run and and then you let them get away if you can't catch them.
That's the new policy.
They're not allowed to shoot him.
Well, that's a that's a great policy.
I'm not saying to shoot the person in the back.
I'm just saying, you know, you you you gotta take them down.
You can't let an accused murderer, you know, just run away from a guard.
That's why you put shackles on them and so on and so forth, but that was always part of the deals.
But it was her way of just saying to them, all right, let's have an understanding here.
I got a job to do.
You're going to court.
You're not getting away.
You're not getting away on my watch.
And then and then she would tell me that, you know, a lot of prisoners at the time they allowed smoking in prisons.
She would give them cigarettes and she would be nice to them.
And and people were grateful for that.
A cigarette in in prison means a lot to a prisoner.
Oh yeah.
It's outlawed in California now, but that was their their their trade.
Now it's soups, but uh a good currency in prison back in the day with cigarettes.
I mean could uh what was it like when they stopped smoking?
All hell must have broken loose.
It was it was hard because they they would sneak it in at that point.
Then it became actually more valuable.
It's and did they always get it I mean did you smell cigarettes and weed like all the time?
Constantly it was that was always it was either coming in they were either getting it in through their visitors or I I have sorry to say you know bad dirty cops or dirty uh ancillary staff would bring it in, sell it to them whatever however they get it in, you know but and and you know you know what everyone kind of turns a blind eye to it let's be honest about it.
They just and and what do they call that alcohol that they make I watch these prison shows uh where they they ferment the fruit what is that called it's called pruno PRU that's it's oh it's and it smells disgusting.
Oh when you're walking I mean if these prisoners would would spend their lives they they can be very clever genius even if they just spend that time doing things that are productive they'd probably be very successful.
That's the irony of that it's sad one of the guys literally through paint that he made in prison with items around he he painted this incredible mural in the officer's office years ago and it was like I mean just world class like talent but you know they did what they did I know it's it's so sad.
I mean and it just is it just wasted human talent it's so bad.
Raymond glad you uh you put in thirty hard years I hope you get a good retirement and are enjoying your life my friend you deserve it.
Anyway 800 941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the program uh Michael My Free State of Florida.
Michael how are you?
Glad you called Hey Sean uh thank you for taking my call and you and your staff is wonderful.
Um my question is is from yesterday on parental rights why must we opt out of everything the damage that'll be done already why why don't they put a thing together where we have to opt into and this goes across the board not just within the I agree with you.
You're talking what you're talking about is the Maryland school case that was argued yesterday before the Supreme Court I assume.
Yes.
I never thought I'd hear a Supreme Court justice, in this case Gorsuch, asking the attorney representing Montgomery County Public Schools about books like Pride Puppy.
That tells the story of a family celebrating Pride Day when their dog gets lost in the parade in an effort to reunite the pup with his loved ones.
And it's a rhyming alphabet book described as affirming and inclusive and inclusive.
Apparently, the book was previously used in the district's pre-K curriculum.
Now we're talking about kids in nursery school, and they're being used in English language instruction.
Gorsuch has at the age of three.
And anyway, that was one book.
Then there was another book, you know, where they're supposed to look for leather and things and bondage.
The lawyer responded, it's not bondage, it's a woman in leather.
Gorsuch says a sex worker.
No, that's not correct.
mean this is what's going on in our Supreme Court.
Well the Gorschitz then goes well I read it drag queen then the lawyer goes well the letter is actually a woman in a leather jacket and that one of the words is drag queen.
Yeah these are for the kids in kindergarten.
What the hell is wrong with this?
You're right.
Why do why do we have to opt out?
How about they opt in?
You want to do this?
Do it on your own time after school.
And let's spend the rest of the day focused on reading, writing, math, science, history, and computers.
Why don't we do that?
Yeah, that would be that that's what we need to do.
And that goes across the board, not just within the school systems, but you know, everywhere.
It's always opt out, and the damage is already done.
We need to be able to the standard should be opt-in, period.
Now, maybe you can get Jonathan Turley to take on this one.
But uh, you know, just uh side note would be do we need to uh get power of attorney for our children, you know, before they go to school, so they can't talk to them, period.
I I I'll just tell you something.
When you when you add into this equation that we spend more per capita per student than any industrialized country with the worst results, and then you look at this crap that we're even arguing before the Supreme Court, it is it's unimaginable.
What has gone wrong here?
You know, people have lost any sense of prioritizing the things that are really important.
If you want to be successful in this country, the ladder to success is education.
If you don't get that core education, you know, Joe Clark, we've played a scene from Lean on Me, a great role played by Morgan Freeman, and it was uh the real life story of Joe Clark, a Patterson, New Jersey principal, and he's like, if you don't have these basic schools, you will be shut out.
And that is a fact.
Yeah, if you don't have fundamentals and basics, you will be shut out.
And and that American dream will not be yours.
Anyway, got a roll, my friend.
Appreciate you being with us.

Hey Desiree, how are you?
I'm blessed.
How are you?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Um, I'm calling as I'm a taxpayer, and I'm outraged with these organizations like Harvard, University of California, Planned Parenthood, Walt Disney, Boeing.
Um, they all receive federal funding or tax benefit.
And every uh taxpayer works hard for their money.
And for them to directly or indirectly use it for to heavily um donate to the Democrat Party, and many taxpayers don't believe in that, and they don't want their tax paying money that they worked hard for going to the Democrat Party for what they stand for.
Well, I mean, why why should union members, for example, be, you know, why why should rank and file money ever go to one one party if they're not if they don't believe in that cause?
I'll tell you right now, that the unions they didn't endorse in this last election a lot of them, and I think the shift is is imminent because Donald Trump clearly by getting eight trillion in investments by threatening tariffs on these countries and then implementing them.
These countries are going to invest in plants here.
It's going to be good for American workers.
We're talking about high-paying career jobs for people, and they're the party of working men and women from now on, and and Democrats are a bunch of coastal elitist jackasses that want to shove EVs in our driveway, take away our gas stoves, our air conditioner, and our refrigerators, and and tell us, you know, how to live our lives.
I'm like, get out of my life, leave me alone.
I believe in freedom.
I do too.
And I think that's a huge problem nowadays, is many people want to enjoy that freedom, but it's seen other companies stop wasting our money.
Stop spending money on on new green dealism, transgenderism, wokeism, LGBTQ ism abroad.
Hundreds of billions of dollars.
What are we doing?
No wonder why we're stealing from our kids and grandkids who are robbing their future.
Anyway, you write you make great points, Desiree.
God bless you.
