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.
Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
My name is Rose.
Second time here this week.
That was kind of fun.
Sean is concluding his travel with President Trump on his Middle Eastern trip.
It's been very successful.
We'll talk about that today.
But Sean will be back on Monday in case you're worried.
He's doing great.
What a great opportunity for him, though, to travel with the president for this historic moment in this country and in relations with other countries.
So awesome.
Thank you so much for allowing me to be here.
I love his audience.
So I enjoy speaking with you.
You know, I did want to talk a little bit about what's going on in the Democratic Party, and I'm going to talk more about it later in the show.
But lately, I've been finding it not just curious, but actually a little terrifying.
And I'm going to, right now, even though I am talking more about this later, I do want to zero in on a few things because it concerns me when they start to see the party go so left.
And they think about it, just how far left the party is moving.
It's becoming abundantly clear how radical factions of that party have grown tremendously.
And they have done so over the last couple of years.
It's been interesting to watch.
Now, obviously, I'm talking about the AOCs and the Bernie Sanders and the party.
And I'm not going to lie, I'm a little concerned about the number of people who have been showing up at their rallies.
You know, these people have, if not out loud fundamentally and in policy, they have socialistic tendencies.
And there was a time when we shunned the label socialists.
Remember?
It was a terrible thing, but not anymore.
Some on the left have actually embraced it over the last few years.
They just don't say it out loud now as much as they once did.
But they do continue to believe it to be a fairer system than capitalism.
And all those people who raw-raw them at the rallies never stop to think about what it means to have free education for everybody, free health care for everybody.
And there is never any mention of how we are going to pay for all that free stuff.
And it's almost like the left has orgasms over free stuff.
Did you ever notice that?
But conservatives take it to its logical conclusion.
There is nothing free.
Someone somehow will pay.
So let's face it, that is what the progressives are moving towards.
It's socialistic, and they would love to eventually eliminate free markets and do away with free enterprise, but we know that doesn't work.
Can somebody say Venezuela, the very country that just happens to be the latest and greatest socialism fail?
Bernie Sanders was one of the first people to use this interesting term.
And it goes back about four years, maybe a little longer, but he said democratic socialists.
That's what he called himself.
He was identifying at the time as a democratic socialist.
And for a while, it had become a leftist mantra, but he hasn't said it much since then.
And I remember at the time people would ask him about it and he would just brush it off.
You know, don't worry about this.
Don't worry about this democratic socialist label.
Maybe lately he's realized that we were on to him and his fancy new name for socialism because we understood that the label democratic socialism is just a very clever way to get around the argument of the continued failures of socialism.
The left can't keep ignoring or even explaining away the epic fails of socialism.
So they would say things like, well, that's not the kind of socialism we're talking about.
So for a while there, Bernie and others were redefining it.
They aren't talking about that socialism.
No, no, no, no.
We're talking about democratic socialism.
But there's no such thing as democratic socialism.
It's an oxymoron.
It doesn't exist.
They just think that democratic socialism sells better.
But that's just for those losers who actually think we are a democracy.
We're not.
I remember a headline.
I had to look it up for this.
It was on the website Reason.
And it was about a year ago, and they were talking about Venezuela.
And they said, the Venezuelan experience shows that democracy cannot cure the evils of socialism and that a democratic socialist system is unlikely to remain democratic for long.
And that's exactly right, because the first election under democratic socialism would be the last free election.
After that, it becomes a choice between ham and pork.
It's a trick.
It's a way for the government to trick you into handing over your freedom in exchange for promises they can't keep and probably never intended to in the first place.
So if we caved to the lies and the oppression that comes with socialism, it would be as though we were replacing the divine right of kings with a divine right of bureaucrats.
It's a way for the government to trick us into handing over our freedom.
And you know what?
Our forefathers ran from tyrannical rule of kings.
But the people on the left, some of them, seem to be running towards it.
Our forefathers' mission was liberty.
They left a culture in Europe that believed that wisdom or success resided within one's station in life.
But the founders believed that there was a genius in every human being.
And the best way to explore and cultivate that genius was liberty.
That tyrannical rule, the tyrannical governments and dictatorships that come out of socialism, they have never contributed to the enhancement of the human condition.
But we, and only we who love freedom, have raised the baseline of human existence beyond anything ever conceived before.
Thomas Paine wrote about freedom and he said, What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.
It is dearness only that gives everything its value.
Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods.
And it wouldn't be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.
And just like pain, a lot of us understand that it's what we care for most lovingly that holds the greatest value for us.
Think about it.
But if I were to ask you, what is it that you value most to leave as an inheritance for your children?
What would it be?
I know you're thinking about, oh, maybe that car or this.
Yeah, but it should be freedom.
It should be freedom.
When Ronald Reagan delivered his speech for Barry Goldwater, he said this, either we accept the responsibility for our destiny or we abandon the American Revolution and confess that an intellectual in a far distant capital can plan our lives better for us than we can plan them for ourselves.
And then our current president, who was also president back in February 2019, Donald Trump said during his State of the Union address, here in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country.
P.S. As a side note, isn't it interesting that Reagan talked about it?
Then Trump was talking about it back in 2019.
This is always trying to rear its ugly head, isn't it?
But let's get back to what Trump said.
Here in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country.
Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.
No wonder they hate him.
And I think they fear him too.
Think about this.
During his first term, he built up the economy.
He increased the size and income of the middle class.
He understood what it took to maintain freedom and to prevent socialism.
See, because for the ruling class to gain and maintain power, it's got to dissolve the middle class.
It just has to.
Because the middle class has long been considered the most innovative and powerful, by the way.
And that makes the ruling class nervous because that kind of innovation, it's a disruptor for them.
And our founding fathers were restricted in Europe and then actually here initially, right, when they came over here.
At that time, there was no such thing as a middle class.
There were only ruling elites and then everybody else.
But they wanted something better, not just for themselves, but they wanted it for us.
So they crafted this document that allowed us to pursue our dreams, to guarantee our freedom.
But the left wants to undo all that was done for us.
They want to tame that greatness, to stop innovation.
But you know what?
There are natural defenses against socialism and a republic's destruction.
And the left understands this maybe even better than a lot of us do.
Because during the COVID pandemic, think about this.
How many states, there were a lot, I lived in one of them, began the whole process of suppressing us.
I mean, like, it's like a little experiment, right?
We were limited socially, we were limited economically, and we were limited in worshiping our God collectively.
Those are a really good example of an effort to destroy the fabric of our freedom.
So when we start to see how far left-leaning the Democratic Party has become, we have to decide that we must remain steadfast in preserving our freedom to keep the social, economic, and religious forces alive and wow, because those are our natural defenses and they're powerful.
And remember, too, to resolve and renew, as Trump said in 2019, resolve that America will never be a socialist country.
Got to keep it strong.
We have a great lineup of guests today.
It just so happens that there was just so many and so much to talk about.
So Linda put on some really great people.
And I hope that you stay with me throughout the entire show.
We've got Drs.
Lynn Finn and Dr. Kat Lindley joining me.
We're going to talk about vaccinating children and pregnant women.
Then we're going to talk during the four o'clock hour to Derek Maltz.
I love him.
This is a buddy of mine.
I've known him for years.
Good guy.
We're going to talk about fentanyl.
We're going to talk about the border.
And we're going to talk about your children and how to protect them.
Also, Pastor Jack Hibbs joining me.
Love Jack Hibbs.
He's another buddy of mine now.
I'm so glad I've gotten to know him.
He's a wonderful man.
Also, Congressman Buddy Carter, we're going to talk about a resolution that he's made just recently this week.
So all of that coming up.
My name is Rose.

I'll be back with much more and your calls after this break.
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.

So down with Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
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 Mayfook 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.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show.
My name is Rose.
Listen, I mentioned that Buddy Carter's joining us.
I didn't get to tell you exactly what we're going to be talking about.
I think it's interesting because he would like to strip some of those, not some of them, but all of those representatives that had stormed Delaney Hall in New Jersey of their positions on committees.
We're going to talk to him about that.
And also, you know, he's thinking about running for another office.
We'll talk about that with him as well.
Also, before I take your calls, and by the way, the phone number here is 800-941-Sean, 800-941-Sean.
And I do want to remind you that it would really, it would mean a lot to me if you would check out my podcast in particular.
If you go to Rumble and Real Life Network, it's under Rose Unplugged.
It's also on Spotify and Apple, but those are my two top favorites, Rumble and Real Life Network.
I know that on them, you can subscribe, and that way you'll find out the next time I have a new podcast coming out.
So check that out.
And the ministry is sheascalledbyhim.com.
And we have a prayer room.
And if you've got a prayer request, we get a whole bunch on Monday when I was on the air then.
We have a team of people that pray for you.
We keep it confidential.
And they really do follow through.
And they don't just do it once and stop.
So that's at sheascalledbyhim.com and roseunplugged.com.
That's where you can find a connection to me and all of my other social media platforms.
I would appreciate it if you follow, like, all that stuff that you're supposed to do.
As I said, the phone number here is 800-941-Sean.
And Bonnie is calling from South Carolina.
Bonnie, how are you?
Hi, Rose.
Great job.
Hey, listen, you know, the other phrase that cracks me up is Medicare for all.
Oh, yeah.
Medicare.
They instantly take $140 a month out of your Social Security.
That only covers 80%.
Then you have to buy a supplemental plan for another 20% to cover the other 20%.
And that mine actually runs about $220 a month.
Then you have to buy a prescription plan also.
So when they say Medicare for all, I'm wondering who's going to be paying all that extra money when they decide to give this Medicare to everyone.
Well, and by the way, in addition, in some cases, dental envision, if you want those, okay, which you still need, no matter how old you are.
So yeah, Bonnie, you're absolutely right.
Who pays?
Somebody is going to pay for it.
And I don't understand really, I don't know if it's a lack in education.
Well, we know that the education system sucks.
But why are these children?
Why?
It's young people.
Their minds are just so fragile and they're so, they haven't been fed.
They haven't been educated in the ways of economics.
They haven't been educated in the ways of American history.
I mean, if you don't understand what made this country great in the first place, and it's not by putting your hand out.
It's not by having some tyrannical ruler taking care of everything, but at what cost to you?
So yes, Bonnie, you're absolutely right.
And it is all too good to be true because it's not true.
It's nothing is ever free.
My God.
But anyway, Bonnie, thanks for your call.
I appreciate it.
Bea is calling from Alabama.
Hi.
This is Beatrice, and I'm calling from Alabama to let you know that all the people that are saying socialism, fascism, and, you know, progressive, all the names that they come up with is all communism.
It's totally all communism.
And everything that they want to take over, like your speech and things like that, it's all under communism, but they give it different names.
Some of the names are so pretty, though, Bea.
Thank you for your call, hon. Like progressive, that is like, that's a pretty cool name now.
But you're right.
It all means the same thing, doesn't it?
It means no freedom for you.
That's what it basically comes down to.
And it just erases everything that was done for us by our founding fathers.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
My name is Rose.
When I come back, we're going to talk about vaccinating children, particularly the mRNA vaccination and pregnant women.
Stay with us.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show.
I'm Rose.
I'll be sitting in for him this afternoon.
A great show planned for you today.
And we're going to start with two guests.
The first is Dr. Lynn Finn.
She's a friend to the Hannity Show.
She's a retired infectious disease doctor.
She's now in the Independent Medical Alliance, that's IMA, and she's focused on clinical research and she holds several patents.
Welcome to the show.
Dr. Lindley, how are you?
I'm well.
Thanks for having me.
Oh, good to have you.
That was actually Dr. Lynn Flynn.
Finn, I'm sorry.
We've got Dr. Kat Lindley also with us, Senior Fellow Director of IMA, Family Practice Physician and Elected Member of the Brick County School Board, Dr. Kat Lindley.
Welcome to the show.
Thank you for having me.
All right.
So we've got Dr. Lynn Finn and Dr. Kat Lindley.
Do you mind if I call you Lynn and Kat?
Not at all.
Thank you very much.
All right, so I want to talk today about vaccinating our children and pregnant women, but I also want to make sure that we talk about your Smart Moms campaign.
I found it very interesting, and it is something that is so necessary, I think, for young mothers, young parents, and trying to decide what they're going to do for the future of their children.
It all starts with their health in the beginning.
But you know what?
I found out that the Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC are both looking to end the mRNA vaccine recommendations for children and pregnant women.
And that's according to a Wall Street Journal story.
But ladies, I did not know that HHS and CDC were still recommending the mRNA vax.
And I just wonder how many moms listened because it was the, you know, it was the HRC or the CDC and they were telling them what to do.
HHS, they should do it.
Let's start with you, Kat.
So so far we've had nine and a half million children vaccinated for COVID-19 virus.
And as Lynn and I will both tell you, we both feel that this should never have been given to our children because after the rollout, we've seen increase in not only myocarditis in adolescent boys, but other neurologic system injuries and autoimmune diseases, things that we don't usually see in kids at these ages.
So, you know, the announcement that HHS had yesterday from Wall Street Journal that they are going to remove the recommendation, it's a great step forward.
But like you said, not only do they need to remove the recommendation, they have to completely remove it from the schedule.
And I'm happy they're starting with children and are pregnant women, but we need to go even further beyond those two age groups.
Thank you.
And Kat, what's some of the reasons why you both are very happy to hear this and hoping that it will move forward into the schedule?
Well, Lynn is our research expert, so she'll give you more numbers than I can.
But even, you know, just being a mom of five children, I remember when the doctors used to say, oh, don't worry, myocarditis is mild.
And I was thinking at the time, you know, as a mom and as a doctor, if my child comes downstairs and tells me I have chest pain, I don't think that's mild because children do not have chest pain.
And Lynn and I watched a movie last night, a premiere in Austin, followed the silence.
And there was a story of Maddie DeGray, a young child, I believe she was 12 at the time, that entered the trial and started having some major injury symptoms.
And they originally said it was the vaccine, but then the people said, oh, no, it wasn't.
But watching her story, I have to tell you that was the time during the movie that I actually cried because to see this child going to trial with the best intentions and be injured for life.
It's something that really stays with you.
And our children have done really well during COVID.
The mortality in children, in healthy children, was almost non-existent with COVID.
to give them a vaccine with something, you know, the biggest lie of all was safe.
It's safe.
Nothing can be safe unless you have long-term data.
And we had almost no data.
Yeah, that's so true.
And Lynn, you know, there were studies that had raised a lot of alarms about the mRNA.
And it was reported that 620% increase in myocarditis and a 175% increase in pericarditis among young men.
It's interesting because post-mRNA vaccinations, why more in the young men?
Well, it could have a lot to do with their testosterone levels.
It also could have a lot to do with their strenuous activity.
What some studies suggest that with the tight junctures in the cardiac and with the LMPs carrying the mRNA code through there, they tend to attach to cardiac parasites and they overproduce this pathogenic spike protein and it becomes kind of sustained.
These people have this high number of spike protein that is constantly being produced and then when it's attached to one of your cells, your body recognizes it as foreign and then attacks it.
When it attacks the spike protein, it's also attacking those cardiac cells.
And so we're seeing a lot of inflammation in the heart in those young men as well as women because there have been many women that also, once they perform a strenuous act, the catecholamines infiltrate that area that's already compromised from swelling.
And then we're finding it goes into stray arrhythmia and often a major cardiac event or cardiac death.
One of the other major issues that is kind of being swept under the carpet, I think, with a new study by Eldiri et al., they determined that the spike protein can worsen cancer or cause more cancer by disrupting a tumor suppressor called p53 and its regulator called MDM2.
And what that does is it impairs the anti-cancer gene activation.
And when I read yesterday that MD Anderson in Houston unveiled a $150 million kinder cancer sender for kids, I mean, you do that when you have high demand, right?
So when we see a spike in 2021 of childhood cancers and all of a sudden St. Jude is on the TV 24-7 and MD Anderson is opening a huge pediatric cancer center, we have to stop and say why.
And with a new study that came out showing that vaccinated children are 159% more likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 and 257% more likely to develop symptomatic COVID than unvaccinated peers, and that's by Feldstein et al.
We have to start looking for benefit and risk.
That ratio should be determined in every patient, and especially in the vulnerable, which are pregnant women and children, when there's no benefit, in fact, there's more risk, we have to pull it off and reevaluate.
And it never should, like Kat said, it never should have been rolled out to a cohort that was never affected by COVID to begin with.
That's a good point, Lynn.
And Kat, too, to your point, you know, how very devastating for a mom and parents in general to have to discover that something that they thought they had done for their child to protect their child or that was safe for their child, being told it was safe, to find out later that perhaps it wasn't as safe as was told to them.
And it makes me sad.
And I can only imagine the devastation that those parents feel afterwards when having to deal with this.
Well, you got to think about it.
The guilt must be immense.
And, you know, as Kat mentioned in the movie last night with Maddie DeGary and many others that thought they were doing the right thing and their lives were forever changed, only to be gaslit and told it was a stomach ache when she is debilitated and in a wheelchair and living in a Ronald McDonald house.
It's kind of insulting.
But that said, we have to really look at the damage it's caused and stop it from happening.
And every single day, 25,000 kids that are healthy are getting a gene product.
And I kind of hesitate to call it a vaccine because it is not a vaccine.
It's a gene product.
And 25,000 kids a day are getting it and they're healthy.
And what's happening down the line?
We see cancer centers turning up.
We see myocarditis.
We see syncope.
We see neurological disorders like Maddie's.
And it's not being addressed and it has to stop.
It never should have been rolled out.
Do you mind if we talk just briefly about the vaccine schedule in general for newborns and infants?
Because it's pretty aggressive, I understand.
And there are a lot of new parents that are telling me that they're seeking out pediatricians that will actually work with them on the vaccines, kind of determine, you know, is this one really necessary at this time or necessary at all?
And I think that this is a new trend.
I knew for me, and as Kat said, you know, we just believe the doctors, they tell us it's safe, don't worry about it.
But we just did everything they told us to do.
We took that baby in there and had it all done.
And I noticed that there's a trend right now with younger people, and I'm very impressed by it, that they're really asking questions and they're looking for the right fit with a pediatrician.
Can you talk to that?
So I'm a family physician and I see infants and children.
And there are many parents who are coming to my office right now and they're very confused.
They don't know what to do.
One of the things I tell them is to read the book Turtles All the Way Down.
I think it's an eye-opening book, not only for parents, but also for physicians and scientists, because essentially the book tells a scientific story of how the vaccines have not been studied against placebos.
So what are the true side effects of these vaccines?
I would venture to say that we truly don't know.
And I know that Dr. Jay Bhattacharya at NIH is willing to ask this question and look into these trials to see if we are going to get the real data.
But to give you a two, they are not really controversial anymore.
Hepatitis B.
An infant that is just born came out of the womb to a mother who is not at risk, to a father who's not at risk.
And by the way, mother has been tested and doesn't have hepatitis B antibodies or the antigen.
So does this child need a hepatitis B on day zero or day one?
No, it doesn't.
And we are giving this naive immune system child something that now the immune system has to respond to.
So you can imagine things that start happening.
So you start giving them that vaccine.
You add a couple more.
And We have gone through this schedule.
It's really a scientific insanity at this point.
And this vaccine needs to be looked up one by one.
Parents need to be given a full informed consent.
Not, oh, the baby's going to get a fever and maybe a rash, give him Tylenol.
It will be fine.
No, they need to be given full informed consent with all the risks and benefits.
Does this child need it?
Is this child at risk of getting this disease?
And then we can have a true conversation with parents where they can make decisions for their children.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, and I thank you both for what you're doing.
And unfortunately, we're running low on time.
There's about a minute left, a little over a minute.
And I was wondering if you could just tell the audience about your smart moms campaign in that short amount of time, or at least where they can go to find out more.
Yes, so you can go to imahealth.org backslash smart moms ask.
We know that moms and dads, parents, and grandparents are the ones that tend to be involved with their kids, especially moms.
And we want moms to go into the doctor's office, find out what are the risks and benefits of anything that the child is getting, especially these mRNA products.
We want parents to push back.
We want them to sign our petition and to demand that HHS not only give the recommendation to take it off this, not to recommend it anymore, we want it taken off the children's schedule so that no child is at risk of getting the mRNA COVID vaccine.
And I think the patient tells you that you can't be at their practice anymore for not complying.
Find a new pediatrician or look into family practice practitioner.
I like what you're saying, both of you.
Thank you so much for what you're doing and dedication to young children and their parents.
And we had Dr. Lynn Finn and Dr. Kat Lindley join us today.
They are with the IMA Independent Medical Alliance and you can check them out.org.
Thank you both so much for what you're doing.
I appreciate that.
Thanks for having us.
Absolutely.
You know, you really do need to check it out.
And they've got a petition that you can sign as well.
So very important for the health of your child or if you're a grandparent and you're worried about your grandchildren.
Please make sure you check it out.
So important.
All right, this is the Sean Handity Show.
Sean's going to be back on Monday.
That's great news.
And I'm here with you for the rest of the afternoon.
That's also great news, in my opinion.
Give me a call.
We'll talk.
And we have great guests coming up too.

He will be joining us.
We're going to talk about fentanyl.
We're going to talk about the border, all of those things.
And he has some great concerns.
I'm going to share them with you because there are things that we need to do to protect our children going forward.
