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.
Got stolen out of the trunk.
We've got a major problem.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome.
Sean Hennity.
The new Sean Hannity Show.
The scene's information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
All right, Leonard Skinner, Simple Man.
That can only mean one thing on this radio program.
That's all things self-proclaimed, Simple Man.
That means all things Bill O'Reilly.
That means all things Bill O'Reilly are at BillO'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you?
I'm exhausted.
Why are you so tired?
Can I get you some coffee?
Coffee doesn't do it.
I'm old, number one, so that's always a factor in exhaustion.
Are you a crotchety, cranky old guy, or are you just a regular old guy?
When I'm asleep, I'm regular.
When I'm awake, I'm.
You're crotchety and cranky?
I'm grouch.
But see, you get old.
What makes you grouchy?
Maybe I can help you.
I'm not grouchy.
But I'm a perfectionist, and I'm usually mad at myself for not doing something as well as I should do it.
That's the truth, by the way.
Anyway, let me get to a topic that I want to talk to.
Everyone's talking about Trump is 100 days, Trump is 100 days.
Most people have a pretty good feel in terms of where he is.
But I think there's a bigger story that is underreported, and that is the Democrats had their first 100 days.
And I have seen nothing but petulance and anger and radicalism and singing and chanting and extremism on display in the emergence of the new leadership in the Democratic Party, which is AOC, the squad, Jasmine Crockett, and Grandpa Bernie.
I've watched a party that won't stand for mothers who lost their children at a joint session of Congress, or a young man that beat cancer who's 12 years old, or the wife of a slain officer hero, or a young man that lost his father that got a commission at West Point, and they're holding up bingo paddles.
We saw them this weekend, and all they know is hate and rage.
Now, we can go through where Donald Trump has been most successful, where his job is incomplete, and it's too early to tell.
And I think that's fair for any president after 100 days.
But overall, the Democrats have been broken.
This man has broken them.
They are soulless.
They are bitter.
They are angry, and they can't wait to impeach him if they ever get back in power.
Well, it's true.
I can't quibble with any of that, but I don't think it's that important.
It is important because that's, you know, half the country now is, you know, half the people, nearly half the people voted for this crazy party.
But they're on the sidelines for now.
It's not important.
What's important is that Donald Trump, the president of the United States, executes his vision in a way that helps working Americans.
That's what's important.
Now, it is true that the party opposing him doesn't care whether he helps working people or not.
That's the headline for the Democratic Party.
They don't care whether the tariffs might eventually help the American public.
All they want to do is get back into power.
Now, that's pretty disturbing to me because I think all politicians, no matter what party you are in, should want to help the folks.
And if Trump succeeds in his vision, the folks will be helped.
But the problem that Donald Trump is having is he believes what he wants to believe.
And that's true to every human being.
They believe what they want to believe.
But you've got to step back a little bit, particularly when you're the most powerful man in the world, and say, you know, there might be a better way to accomplish what I want to accomplish.
So I support, I would say, 80% of what Donald Trump wants to accomplish.
But I think he could do better and accomplish it quicker if he would knock off some of the hyperbola.
Let me give you a really vivid example, Hannibal.
You ready for a vivid example?
You got a pen and paper?
Vivid, vivid, our word of the day.
Go ahead.
So this guy, Garcia, in El Salvador, has become the poster boy for the Democratic Party.
He is a bad ombre.
All right.
It's provable.
Is he MS-13?
Probably, but it's not defined.
For Donald Trump to spend time with ABC News last night on a tattoo situation that the Justice Department is not going to use in its adjudication of Garcia.
He's not going to use the tattoo.
That tells any fair-minded person the tattoo was photoshopped.
If it was there, the J Department would use it.
Now, the strategy is, and Trump...
We do need a little context here.
Not one, but two separate judges determined that he was an MS-13 gang member.
But I get your point on the tattoo part.
And his own wife, in her own handwriting, accused him of serious domestic abuse and claiming he's a wife beater.
But to spend all that time on an ABC News prime-time interview on a stupid tattoo doesn't help the president's cause.
Now, here's something that most people don't know.
He's not defying the Supreme Court, President Trump, but he's not articulating what he's doing.
He's getting his White House lawyers, getting them time to accumulate information about this guy, Garcia, so it can bring that information to the Supreme Court and say, look, the overwhelming evidence is that he is affiliated with MS-13.
I signed an executive order that designates that group as a terror group.
You don't have any right, legally, Supreme Court, to order him back if he is indeed affiliated with MS-13.
And here is the evidence.
That's what Trump is doing.
They're accumulating evidence, but he doesn't say that.
Why do you, on that issue in particular, if we're going to look at it, all right?
I'll take everything you're saying as constructive criticism and maybe a better argument that the president can make.
However, the fact that the Democrats, that they, look, they had an opportunity in the Senate to stand up for women and women in sports, and they decided to be the champions of men's right to play women's sports.
Here they are.
They stood by silently, and they outright lied to the country about the 12, 14 million, whatever the number is, of Biden-Harris illegals that entered our country illegally, including known terrorists, cartel members, gang members, murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals.
And now Donald Trump has a monumental task ahead of him, and that is to get these people out of their country.
But the Democrats, they have determined they will champion the rights of people, in this case, admittedly in the country illegally, over the safety of the American people.
That speaks volumes of then.
Thirdly, they'll claim a constitutional crisis over the issue of finding waste, fraud, and abuse.
So you can make the case and make a nuanced criticism of Donald Trump, and maybe you're right on every level.
But compared to what Democrats are doing here, that is insanity.
And the American people know they let them in, know they lied about it, and they don't want Trende Aragua or MS-13 people in this country or known terrorists in this country.
All of that is true, but I'll go back to it's not important.
The Democratic Party has destroyed itself temporarily, which important is that it's important when they bring it to court and they try to assert the president's, you know, article to powers.
Yeah, and that'll be taken care of by the Supreme Court, which is another reason you don't want to talk off the Supreme Court because Trump's going to need them to reverse all this insanity, this judge cherry-picking.
But what really is important for the American people is I think fundamentally that most do support Donald Trump, but they are scared now.
They are nervous.
And he needs to reassure them in a very specific way about the economy.
I understand everything that you're saying.
And, you know, look, you got to look also at big picture.
100 days is really nothing.
And what I think the president has done is he's laid the foundation for great success.
The border is his most obvious achievement in 100 days.
I think on the tariff issue, that's got to play itself out.
And the fact that he's willing to challenge what has been America being ripped off and taken advantage of, where we've gone 50, 60 years and just allowed this system to get out of control, I think is admirable too.
How it lands is going to be a matter of time.
My prediction is eventually deals will be done and things will settle down and we'll pay less for goods coming into this country and we'll make more money abroad.
That's my prediction.
Happens and by Donald Trump's approval ratings, we go right back up in conjunction with the stock market.
The only other president in history who has done what Trump is trying to do, that is change the economic culture, was Teddy Roosevelt.
When he went after Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller, he went after the so-called robber barons.
I write about this in my book, Fronting Evil, which will be out in September.
Teddy Roosevelt came in and he won, but it took him a lot.
It was bloody.
Oh, is it nasty?
Trump is the only other president trying to change the capitalistic culture.
The second thing is, and Trump likes this, he actually quoted me at CPAC.
Trump has done more in 100 days than any other president by far.
George Washington is second.
Today is the anniversary of Washington being sworn in as the first president in 1789 today.
I'm going to bring that up tonight to Trump.
And Washington was second because Washington didn't have a government.
He actually had to build it from nothing.
Trump actually outdid Washington because Washington was a bit cautious.
Trump is not.
And so that's where we are historically.
You're going to try to change the culture.
You're going to run into a big, big backwind in your face.
And that's what we're seeing.
I think that there's a lot of, if he can achieve somehow some peace deal in Europe, I think it's a heavy lift.
The fact that he's willing to tackle it, I think, you know, speaks volumes.
He's willing to roll the dice and try things that other people would never try.
Absolutely right.
And it's a courageous move on his part.
He's been very clear with the Iranians as well.
He's trying to bring peace in that part of the world.
He's moving.
He's set up the pieces for energy dominance.
He's bringing more law and order and safety into the country.
He's deporting these illegals.
Everything that he's doing is hard.
His tax plan, I think, is going to ultimately be superb.
I think we will get the one big, beautiful bill, permanent tax cuts, no tax on tips, social security, or overtime.
I think these are all things that help the folks.
I'll summarize it this way, Bill.
The Democratic Party is now the party of coastal elites that are out of touch and radical.
And Republicans now, this is a president that is looking out, I'll use your words, for the folks, for the hardworking men and women in this country that really do make the country great.
Last word.
He's got to succeed economically.
Agreed.
All the other stuff, even the border and the deportations, will not matter in the midterms if the country is not moving forward and people are feeling confident in the economy.
That is the last thing.
Peace and prosperity drive elections, Mr. O'Reilly.
Anyway, always appreciate you.
Thanks for being with us.
All things simple man, Bill O'Reilly, at billo'reilly.com.
All right, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
It's kind of amazing, and I know there was some criticism of this.
I'm like, why would you be critical of the president of the United States for two hours or thereabouts yesterday, opening up his cabinet meeting for the entire country to see and to get updates on everything that they're working on, especially this being, you know, the 100th plus day of his presidency?
A lot has taken place.
I want to hear from them.
I want to hear more.
I don't want to hear less.
And anyway, this is a small sample of the cabinet giving updates after the first 100 days in office that I think you'll find interesting.
I view this 100 days as setting the table for peace deals, trade deals, tax deals.
So the next 100 days will be harvesting.
You've created negotiating leverage and leadership.
They're going to yield remarkable results.
Energy costs have plummeted.
Mortgage rates are down.
Food costs are moving lower.
And American families are finding their financial footing again.
We've been working very closely with your great Attorney General's team at the DEA to get these known cartels into our systems to be able to stop them at the border and turning over names to the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to be able to find those who are already here in our country.
Over the past 100 days, we are already making America healthy again.
We announced last week the band on the nine petroleum-based synthetic dies, who dies within two years, within two months, we're going to bend worse two of them.
This president inherited 30 years of foreign policy that was built around what was good for the world.
In essence, the decisions we made as a government in trade and foreign policy was basically, is it good for the world?
Is it good for the global community?
And under President Trump, we're making a foreign policy now that's, was it good for America?
All right, when we come back, I mean, that was the cabinet meeting.
That's called transparency.
I thought people wanted transparency.
When we come back, we'll hit the phones: 800-941-Sean as we continue.
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 Podcast, or wherever you listen.

So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
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 NAFOC 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.
You'll hear what everyone really thinks in D.C.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
I-25 to the top of the hour, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, everybody needs a personal safety security plan for, frankly, all hours of the day and night.
What is your plan if that God forbid moment comes?
Well, ideally, you want to get out of the situation.
If that's not possible, you want other options beside the lethal option or deadly force.
And that's where the technology of Burner is so amazing.
It is the less lethal but incredibly powerful launcher, and it works.
And you can look at their videos when you go to burner.com, B-Y-R-N-A.com.
And if you mention my name, you get 10% off, by the way.
And watch their videos.
Now, they just came out with their brand new CL.
It's their compact launcher.
It's the smallest one to date, four inches long, two smartphones thick.
It's simple to carry on your body without attracting any unnecessary attention.
It fires at 400 feet per second.
It's proudly American, very effective.
You're going to incapacitate any perpetrator.
As I said, 30, 40 minutes.
I mean, that's it.
It works.
Over 80% of their components are sourced right here in the U.S. They're pistols hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
It's a great Mother's Day gift.
You want to give it to a mom or any of the women that you love in your life.
And even for dad, if it's in the smallest bags and purses, everybody will love it.
I got these for friends and family.
I give them away all the time, as a matter of fact.
I think I'm their biggest customer.
Anyway, try it before you buy it.
Watch the videos.
Go to burner, B-Y-R-N-A.com.
That's B-Y-R-N-A.com today.
Mention my name, you get 10% off.
All right, let's get to our busy telephones as we head to North Carolina.
And John, John, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hey, Sean, thank you for having me on.
Thank you for being on.
Glad you called.
Absolutely.
I just wanted to say, I heard that they're retiring the A-10s.
I think that's kind of a waste of some good aircraft.
Well, they're retiring them in that one military base, and they have the next generation that is far more advanced technologically, but doesn't mean often retiring can be a little misleading.
It doesn't mean that they're going to mothball it.
I'm not sure if that's what the plan is.
I hope they don't as well.
I know years gone by, they would mothball these battleships that have been in the waters for decades, and then they ended up bringing them back to service.
So I would think that there are situations where we could use all of them.
But however, we got to keep advancing the next generation of weaponry.
And that's what this is in the case of that Air Force base in Michigan that you're referring to.
Right.
I think the A-10s would serve a great purpose down at the border just as a show of force and maybe some live fire training where in an open area clear of any people just to kind of really send that message across about stay off.
Listen, I think the more weapons and advancing our technology is critical for the cause of freedom.
And the next generation of weaponry, we've got to get ahead of it.
That's what the Iron Dome is.
When I talk about the next generation of weaponry, I say this through the prism.
When you factor in artificial intelligence, all this technology is going to advance at the speed of light.
And future wars, I am more than convinced, are going to be fought in air-conditioned offices and people pushing buttons and not on the battlefield.
And the day and age of people going door to door in Baghdad, thankfully, will be over.
We can never get in those forever wars again.
And I know there's risk associated.
If the Iranians don't agree, and I would bet that they won't, for example, they're not going to agree to dismantle their nuclear program and allow Americans to do it because I don't trust international anybody.
I don't think they're going to agree to American inspectors anywhere, any place, anytime.
Then America is going to have a very clear choice to make.
I would argue that even though it would be Joe Biden's fault because he allowed them to get rich again and that allowed them to expand out the nuclear capability that according to some estimates, they're 60 days away.
They're going to have nuclear weapons.
The world can't risk radical Islamic mullahs that believe in convert or die with nuclear weapons or else we'll face a modern-day Holocaust.
That's not an option.
Anyway, but I think that all of the old technology should stay in place as we develop the new technology for sure.
Anyway, John, good call, my friend.
Thank you.
Carolyn is in upstate New York.
Carolyn, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Mr. Hannity, thanks for taking my call.
Big fan and longtime listener.
How are you?
Thank you.
So I wanted to comment on the Capital Steps briefing the other day with everybody sitting out there singing their song.
I think they had the tune right, but I don't think they had the words right.
The words should have been, let it die, DEI, let it die.
Yeah, look, I like your song better.
I mean, Live and Let Die.
DEI die.
I mean, kind of catchy.
I like it.
I will build this world from love.
I will build this world from love.
I can't take it.
Oh, my gosh.
It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Well, maybe you should be a songwriter.
What do you think?
Not in my future, I don't think.
Thank you.
All right, Carolyn.
God bless you.
Glad you called.
Let's say hi to Martin in my free state of Florida.
Martin, how are you?
Hi, Sean.
This is a pleasure to speak with you.
I am so honored that you brought me onto the show, and I'm speaking to my second favorite radio personality.
Who's your first?
Linda.
You know what?
That's for you, Linda.
Thank you, brother.
You know what?
But Sean, just so you know, just so you know, you fake photos.
You're my favorite host, Sean.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Do you know what Monday is?
No, they just.
No, call me.
No, do you know what Monday is, Sean?
Do you know what Monday is?
No, what's Monday?
It's my 20-year anniversary on the show.
How would you remember that?
Because I'm psychotic with dates.
You know that.
You don't remember anything.
That's why you hired me.
You were like, listen, I'm going to need a person.
You're going to do all the things.
I can tell you, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, every president that's ever lived record down to every last detail.
So I do remember a lot, but I've never made anniversaries that important to me.
It's not really an anniversary.
It's a commemorative moment.
I'm going to be giving out medals and pins.
It's going to be my own little meme coin.
Get ready.
Like a little survival method.
All right, Martin.
You made it this way.
I blame you for this, Martin.
I apologize, kind of, but I wanted to get to the point because apparently the topic of the week is making English the primary language for truck drivers.
And I seem to be a CDL.
No.
Within the last couple of weeks, my place of employment has decided that they want to expand their services.
And so I'm spearheading this to go get a CDL.
I'm going through the front door.
I've got no resources to go to.
So I took a DOT physical.
I passed that.
It's a process to get the learner's permit.
But I've got that.
And I just took that learner's permit test two days ago.
And I can tell you that if you're knocking on the door, going through it, the front door, there's no way that anybody's going to be able to pass that learner's permit test.
99% of the people that take that fail that.
Why is it so hard?
I'm talking as a guy that's taking a lot of tests.
I'm a former bomb disposal technician.
I've taken a lot of tests.
I don't agree with the way that it's currently set up because I think that the test material is something to where you should be in a classroom to learn.
I mean, you shouldn't have such a hard, it shouldn't be such a hard time to get a license to learn, but it is.
Well, how are all these people that don't speak English driving trucks?
Exactly.
So you mean the system's rigged pun intended?
I think that the schools and these companies/slash schools, they put these people through their own in-house testing and training.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're actually giving the test away as these folks are going through the test.
And I've been in a lot of academic training environments, but it's like there's no way that a layman off the street or basically not even.
Well, why would they make a driver's test that hard?
That makes no sense to me at all.
It doesn't make sense to me with the learners.
I expect to see this kind of stuff on the actual.
You know what you need to know?
You need to know the rules of the road.
You need to know what you need to be able to read the signs, you know, curve coming up, yield, stop.
I mean, it's not that hard.
And I don't think you should make it harder than, you know, there might be other issues involving way stations and things like that, but I can't think of anything that would make it that complicated that 99% of people fail.
Yeah, and I can understand that test being that difficult for the actual driver's portion of the test because you should be able to demonstrate that you've been paying attention into the class.
These are big, heavy vehicles.
I expect these people to actually gain that level of enhanced confidence before taking to the road these things.
Don't they have these driver schools?
I know years ago we had a regular caller and he wanted to go to driving school and he was a nice guy and I sent him to driving school and he wanted to improve his life.
He had a new baby.
He had a girlfriend.
I tried to convince him to marry the girlfriend, but I don't.
Did he ever marry the girlfriend?
What was his name?
I'd have to look it up.
Oh, I thought you were missed memory.
No, I'm here for organizational processes only.
Uh-huh.
Missed memory.
You know, I have a memory like an elephant.
Oh, okay.
You can't remember the guy's name, but the guy, I did send him to driving school.
You do remember that.
Oh, are you talking about Tavares?
Tavares.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
I thought you were talking about somebody that you hooked up on Hannah Date and then went to driving school.
No, Tavares was a regular caller.
He was a liberal.
And then he need to bring back Hannah Date.
What do you think?
Absolutely not.
Why not?
Bro, I'm not about that anymore.
It's a lot of work.
Well, I mean, we have enough people.
I think we should bring it back, but, you know, have anybody that wants to sign in, they have to sign a massive disclaimer run by the attorneys.
And, you know, we had how many people are doing that.
That sounds like fun.
Let's find love, but first, sign this disclaimer.
Well, no, I mean, because we can't be responsible if somebody is not somebody that they say they are.
And that happens on those dating sites all the time.
That happens in real life all the time.
It just happens all the time.
We had how many people?
We had dozens and dozens of people get married from that site.
We had hundreds of people get married from that site.
Yeah, it was great.
What do you think, Martin?
Should I bring back Hannah Date?
I think you should remember Monday's her anniversary.
She might be more agreeable.
Oh, my gosh.
Martin, I really like you, man.
I'm going to do a little Mark Levintake.
Get off my phone, you big phony.
Oh, it's so mean.
Get my phone, you big dope.
I haven't done that in a while.
Martin's my buddy.
Of course he's your buddy.
He's sucking up to you.
Of course, you like being sucked up to.
It's unbelievable.
Who doesn't?
I'm not looking to be sucked up to.
You and Katie do this on purpose.
Oh, Katie's so nice, blah, blah.
But this way, when they call back the next time, if they get through, the odds are higher that they're going to get on the air.
That's why they do it.
Everyone's got an angle.
Just so you know, Katie is from Texas.
Her disposition is just nice.
That's her decent.
I agree.
Katie's very nice.
Katie doesn't like to talk on the air, but she's very nice.
I try.
I try.
It just feels terrifying training on this microphone, but I try to be as nice as you.
Talk to people all day.
Strangers call in.
You are the call screener.
And you're very good at it.
The other day she was singing in the studio.
She was singing.
She was letting it belt, bro.
What's the difference talking to people on the phone that you don't know or talking to people you do know on the air?
What's the difference?
I think because it's on an individual basis, and it's different when you're talking to 20 million people at once as opposed to one person.
Oh, well, that's it just in your head.
Just pretend that it's not.
If they cuss me out or, you know, whatever, I can just hang up on them, but here I cannot.
Oh, I'll never forget Bo Snerdley.
He would call scream for Rush Lumbaugh.
And when you were in the studio and in the control room, there was a show going on behind the show.
And that was Bo Snerdley, James Golden, dear friend of RSV.
I haven't talked to him in a while.
I got to catch up with him.
And love him.
And he would cuss them out and argue with them and tell them to go, you know, F off.
And he didn't care.
He just let it rip.
It was a show within the show.
It was amazing.
Yeah, I won't cuss them out or anything, but I will argue with them.
I definitely will argue back.
Linda used to cuss him out.
Wording it back to me.
Yeah, well, I mean, people made YouTube videos, so it was hard to deny.
You know, it was really difficult.
They recorded the conversation with you?
Oh, my God.
They recorded it.
They put it up online and all these things.
But the problem was, is that they sounded so bad in the interview that it was one of those things where it's like, you know, you can't even like, you know, they sounded like idiots.
You know, they were like, well, of course she cursed you out.
You're a moron.
We agree with her.
So it was totally fine.
More morons.
Anyways.
Now we're moving on to the trade deals.
And President Trump has created the maximum optionality, maximum pressure for our trading partners.
And by showing the high level of tariffs from April 2nd that are possible, they've all come to the table to negotiate.
When we come back, we'll check in with Senator Rampaul.
He has been critical of President Trump and his tariff idea.
We'll go over that in great specificity and detail.
That's straight ahead.

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?
