Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
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.
Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of this extravaganza.
It's 800-941 Sean if you want to join us.
I am enjoying the White House now trolling Democrats over the ballroom meltdown and all the, you know, forget the history, the long history of construction that has taken place at the White House under so many different presidents over time.
Let me go back.
I'm going to take you to Fake News, CNN, and their report and just compare and contrast the difference.
This is 2010.
This is when Obama is spending more money on renovating the White House.
And I don't believe he got it from private funds.
I don't know for sure.
So don't quote me on that.
But this is their report celebrating the renovations at the White House when Obama is president.
Listen.
It sounds like they're building another wing to the White House, but we appreciate you keeping it.
You can't even imagine, TJ.
It's going to happen for the next two years.
All of the banging, the jackhammering, the dust, the confusion, the noise of all places to do construction is happening right here, the front lawn of the White House.
It's a four-year renovation project.
Estimated cost, $376 million.
Okay, so the White House decided on their website, and I think we were the first to do this and lay out a history.
And I did it here on this radio show and on TV.
On TV, I could show pictures of all the major events timeline at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
This stretches back to 1791 when plans for the iconic building were first mapped out.
The timeline includes a series of benchmarks, such as the North Portico from 1829 to 1830, the addition of the Oval Office in 1909 under the Taft administration, the total reconstruction of the White House interior under the Truman administration.
And the timeline includes a handful of very high-profile scandals that have rocked previous Democratic administrations.
2023, cocaine discovered.
One slide in the White House website reveals.
During the Biden administration, a U.S. Secret Service agent discovered a small zippered plastic bag containing cocaine in the West Wing entrance lobby.
How do you get cocaine into the White House?
But even worse, after what, 10, 12, 15 days, we were not going to be able to find the culprit.
We're going to end the investigation.
I have a good idea where to start it.
Back at the time, I said so.
Speculation had pointed to Hunter Biden, an admitted drug user.
And anyway, additional evidence includes a laptop seized in 2019, and it contains photos of frequent drug use along with emails about foreign business dealings.
Half my income goes to Pops.
And, you know, which account should we pay for Pops' home repairs?
Former President Bill Clinton's little, what do you call it, escapade with Monica Lewinsky, former President Obama inviting a delegation of Muslim Brotherhood to the White House.
That was in 2012, also included in the official timeline.
Bill Clinton's scandal, President Clinton's affair with intern Monica Lewinsky was exposed, leading to the White House perjury investigations, the Muslim Brotherhood incident.
Another slide takes issue with former President Biden's recognizing International Transgender Day of Visibility on the same day of Easter in 2023.
International Transgender Day of Visibility created by activists more than 10 years ago is celebrated.
Do you celebrate this, Linda?
I didn't know about it till I was reading about it today.
I don't remember it at the time.
You know, I think I missed it.
That might have been Washing My Hair Celebration Day.
I'm not sure.
Celebrating each year, March 31st, Biden administration acknowledging both Easter and International Transgender Day of Visibility.
Unbelievable.
This is all, I mean, can you imagine?
It's been almost a year.
Wow.
What a difference a year makes.
I mean, a year from now, a year ago, all of you were listening to this program, waiting, wondering, wringing your hands, probably a little sleep-deprived like I was.
I mean, Linda can verify this.
I don't think I slept during that campaign more than three hours on any one given night, three hours being on the high side.
Yeah, I think I don't think I slept.
I don't think it was three.
I don't even think it was three.
I think most nights it was less.
I just didn't.
I remember at some point, you know, I had my Fitbit at the time.
Now I use a whoop.
It basically was like, you know, shooting off alarm bells.
You need to sleep.
Your sleep disruption is getting out of control.
But I was working and I just cared that much.
And, you know, every wake and hour, I just wanted to just do my part.
And I viewed, and I and I said to all of you then, and I'll repeat it now because I'm going to start repeating it in January.
So don't get angry with me if I repeat things because I'm going to lay out what is at stake, and I will do it every single day on this program.
And then some of you will criticize me for being repetitive.
And there is a method to my madness.
And the madness is that if I lay out what is at stake in great specificity and details in a way that people eventually will remember and then be able to repeat it, then the good news is by the time we get to the midterms,
which will be the most important midterms in our lifetime, I mean, it's either we're going to go back to lawfare and all progress will stop and Democrats will impeach, impeach, impeach, or the great progress of the country continues.
That's what's at stake.
I'm just giving you a preview of coming attractions.
I won't start till January, but I'm going to lay out the case of what is hanging in the balance.
This will be a tipping point midterm election for our country, the most important midterm in our lifetime.
And I'm not joking.
Like I'm telling people now in New Jersey, you have an opportunity to save your state.
The polls show this race is razor thin.
The polls show Mikey Sherrill is not liked in New Jersey.
People have had it with Phil Murphy, your current governor.
I mean, you have a candidate that magically found $7 million and can't give an explanation as to where that money came from.
Really?
Ask anybody out there.
I don't care how rich you may be.
$7 million shows up.
You're going to have a pretty good idea where that money came from.
I'm not buying that lie.
I think it's a lie.
That's my opinion.
Or the fact that she gives conflicting answers.
She didn't get to walk with her class at the Naval Academy.
I mean, wow, that is unbelievable.
And then she first says, well, I wouldn't, I knew about the cheating scandal, but I didn't wrap people out.
And then she says, I tell them everything.
It can't be both.
And that's just part of it.
He won't commit to not raising taxes in New Jersey.
You know what that means, New Jersey?
She's going to raise taxes.
And that means this is your one, probably last chance for New Jersey to save your state.
And it's not even about Republican or Democrat.
It's about basic, simple common sense.
You know, another one with the transgender issue and the right of men to play women's sports and be in women's locker rooms.
I mean, this kind of madness.
And the same thing I'm telling you in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I am telling you, Abigail Spamberger is bad news.
Now, what's fascinating in both races is the DNC is panicked.
They're throwing hundreds of millions of last-minute dollars into both races.
That means their internal polling shows exactly what Matt Towery and Robert Kahale had picked up.
And that is their poll has New Jersey a one-point race.
Their poll in the Commonwealth of Virginia has it in a two-point race.
Now, Abigail Spamberger, she wants to make the Commonwealth of Virginia a sanctuary state.
Not a good idea.
Didn't work out well in places like New York City and California.
California running massive budget deficits.
Their Medi-Cal program, you're talking about, what, $10 billion in health care alone?
Put aside other services that are available, made available to illegal immigrants and their sanctuary status.
You want that in the Commonwealth of Virginia?
She didn't have the moral courage and fortitude to stand up and say that the Attorney General candidate Jay Jones needs to step down and get out of this race, but she readily would say it about any Republican that was having a scandal.
You know, the fact that another one that is for men in women's locker rooms and men's rights to play women's sports and wants to undo all of the good work that Glenn Young has done for the Commonwealth, you know, over at MSDNC, we'll play it later.
They're actually claiming, oh, this is because of misogyny.
I'm like, okay, excuse me, Abigail Spanberger is a woman.
Yes, that is true.
So is Winsom Earl Sears a woman, a Jamaican-American immigrant citizen who's been a great lieutenant governor.
I'm telling you, if you're in Virginia, now early voting started in Virginia.
Early voting starts Saturday in the state of New Jersey.
You have a shot.
Now, I'm not saying I'm overly confident in either case.
I'm not.
I'm just shooting straight with you.
I am saying there is a window of opportunity.
And let me make a prediction for you in New Jersey.
And take this for what it's worth.
And I have a lot of friends that live in New Jersey.
I am telling you, this may be your last opportunity to save your state.
Otherwise, you're going to be New York 2.0.
You, like New York, have already seen a mass exodus.
If you elect, you know, Mikey Sherrill, who's been nothing but dishonest in this campaign and has the wrong policies of Phil Murphy, then you're just going to get more of the same.
Now, the president, to his credit, not only did he put tariffs on Russian oil, I thought it was a big deal now.
China, India now dramatically cutting back on energy imports from Moscow.
That's going to break the back of Russia's economy.
And then the president threatening to send Tomahawk missiles to Russia is a big deal.
But Reuters is now pointing out, in the meantime, the Trump administration, they announced yesterday a series of steps to open up the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge, Anwar, as we call it, 19 million acres, which, by the way, was set aside for this very purpose.
It's a vast wilderness.
We once are so sick and tired of people saying we're going to kill the caribou, we sent an airplane over Anwar and we took videotape of it just to show people it's a vast wilderness.
And these oil companies can go in there, they can drill for oil, it's oil-rich, and then they can leave in the wintertime and they can cap everything, and you wouldn't even know that they were there.
By the way, inflation numbers for September have come in lower than expected.
Oh, well, you notice with Trump, it's always lower than expected.
They're always expecting the worst.
You know, but the madness and insanity and the never-ending meltdown over, you know, Donald Trump joining 20 other presidents and doing renovations at the White House is pretty remarkable to me, but yet predictable because this is all they've got.
They've got nothing left.
An anonymous Trump friend has donated $130 million to help pay the troops during the Democrat shutdown because Democrats won't do it.
We played you this Congresswoman yesterday.
Yeah, we know people are going to suffer, but we need the leverage.
No responsibility on the Democrats.
Or at least you don't think that the public will perceive that the Democrats are responsible.
I mean, shutdowns are terrible.
And of course, there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer.
We take that responsibility very seriously.
But it is one of the few leverage times we have.
It is an inflection point in this budget process.
By the way, I just got a poll sent to me from John McLaughlin, New York City mayoral race.
Do we know who did this poll?
IRP, I guess, did it?
Yeah, he sent it over.
He said it's not his, but he said it.
This poll, and again, you know, unless it's McLaughlin, Rasmussen, Matt Towery, or Robert Gehale, I really don't trust them.
Anyway, it's in a three-way race that has been Donnie at 47, Cuomo at 29, Curtis Lee was 16.
Without Cuomo, this is interesting.
It's 49.41 Curtis.
Without Flewa, it's 49.39 Andrew Cuomo.
I mean, why doesn't Andrew Cuomo think about getting out?
They cares so much about not electing a Marxist.
Anyway, the Pentagon did confirm that they had received $130 million in a private anonymous donation to pay members of the military.
There are so many good people in this country.
There really are.
And Democrats under fire.
Now, food stamps are about to run out.
The SNAP program, SNAP funds, 42 million people in our country use Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
They're in danger of not receiving aid come November 1st.
Like, what's going on with that?
Anyway, we got to take a break here.
Our toll-free number this Friday.
I might get some calls in the next half hour.
I feel like talking to a lot of you out there because a lot of you have a lot to say.
And we have such a smart audience.
800-941, Sean.
What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of 10, 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 Navok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.
Locker up.
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, 800-941, Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
I love this story.
The King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention has not only admitted to breaking state laws by hiring nearly three dozen illegal migrants as corrections officers, but they're also pledged to fight the state law preventing that hiring.
Our friend Jason Rance apparently broke the story.
All the illegals are fully trained as corrections officers and authorized to work in the U.S. And King County is committed to safety and the fair treatment of these officers and continues to work closely with the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission.
Okay, so you have people that are in the country illegally.
Now they're taking care of American prisoners.
And you don't see anything wrong with that?
I do.
I see a big problem with it.
Anyway, the Schumer shutdown continues, but we're now hitting a deadline.
42 million people in our country are on the SNAP program, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
They're now in danger of not receiving aid come November 1st.
And Democrats could care less.
Major airports are now issuing ground stops due to air traffic control staffing shortages.
That's becoming a problem.
You know, Corey Booker blaming Trump for food stamps cuts caused by the Schumer shutdown.
No, they've had 12 opportunities in the Senate to pass a continuing resolution, a clean CR, which funds government at current levels while they negotiate these issues out.
Newsweek has the full list of Democrats who voted not to pay the military during the Schumer shutdown.
I mean, every one of the, it's almost every Democrat, so I, you know, just assume, you know, with the exception of John Fetterman, John Osoff, and Raphael Warnock, every other Democrat is supporting this madness.
Okay, it's a predictable outcome.
Now, not only is that Seattle jail a big issue in immigration, it looks like Kilmar Obrego Garcia is finally getting kicked out of the country.
The Maryland man is going to become a Liberian man because the Democrats' favorite gangbanging, alleged wife-beating, human-trafficking illegal alien, Kilmar Brego-Garcia, you know, the poster child for Democratic idiocy with this guy Van Holland going to visit him and having margaritas with the guy.
Yeah, he's going to be gone for good, as he should.
You don't respect our laws, our borders, our sovereignty.
There are punishments for that.
The DOJ issuing a warning to California officials to stand down or face prosecution after threats now to arrest ICE agents.
Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday that local law enforcement should be able to arrest federal ICE agents that, quote, break laws as the agents are doing their job enforcing federal immigration law.
Do you have a Constitution in that Constitution?
We do have a supremacy clause.
The supremacy clause gives jurisdiction to the federal government to enforce federal immigration law.
Pam Bondi warning Democrats, Pelosi, for threatening ICE officers.
You know, this whole idea now that they are creating, you know, this ICE app nationwide.
I am telling you right now, and I pray to God that I'm wrong, and I believe in God.
I pray to God I'm wrong, but it's predictable.
You keep warning people that ICE is on the way.
You remove the element of surprise, number one.
And number two, you are putting a bullseye on the foreheads and the backs of ICE agents.
That is a very, very dangerous thing to do.
By the way, we found out the company of this illegal immigrant driver accused of causing this fatal semi-crash in Indiana, reportedly in Indiana, reportedly owned companies.
They raked in taxpayer cash ahead of time.
What a shocker.
The illegal alien, drunk driver, accused of the crash in Florida, my free state that killed three people, failed the test in California 10 times in two months before receiving a license in 2023, first in Washington state, then later in California.
I mean, crossed the border under Biden, you know, and under, I'm sorry, under Biden was allowed to stay in the country.
How do you give, I don't understand.
How is this not aiding and abetting law breaking on every level?
Pretty spectacular.
What else do we have in the news today?
We got a lot.
We got a lot.
Oh, this is pretty interesting.
Did a full report on this on TV last night.
Charles Grassley, Iowa, found a document which contained Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Lisa Monaco's handwritten signatures has now been provided by the Justice Department as part of their oversight authority.
And it now gives us insight into who approved the opening of the investigation known as Arctic Frost and Operation Arctic Frost formed the basis for Jack Smith's false electoral case and other Biden administration investigations and weaponization into Donald Trump.
Now I'd say it's time for Merrick Garland and Christopher Ray and Lisa Monaco to raise their right hand and be reminded they have the right to remain silent and be sworn in.
Let's see how many of them plead the fifth.
Letesa James head to court for her mortgage fraud hearing today, claiming she's a victim, the woman that ran on Get Trump, Get Trump, one man, one family, one organization arraigned in Virginia, claiming to be a victim of weaponization.
How ironic is that?
You can't even make it up, but it's true.
We have some Marxist commie Mondani news.
Mondani's father claims the Nazis learned how to carry out the Holocaust from America.
Wow.
New York, are you really going to do this?
You're on the precipice of electing a Marxist.
Are you really going to do this?
Anyway, we went over these races.
Let's get a call in here.
Steve is in my free state of Florida.
Steve, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Happy Friday.
I'm good.
What's going on?
We can pay all the government workers.
We just have to take the salaries from the people that voted to shut the country down and pay them with their money.
Yeah, that's true.
But you know what?
Most Democrats are still getting paid.
Now, some have said that they won't take their paycheck until the government reopens.
But look, Cook, what's that?
I said, we need to take Congress and the senators who voted for the shutdown.
They need not get paid.
Why are they getting their jobs?
No, they're not.
No, this is their job.
And, you know, for people that repeatedly on tape, and we've played these montages too often, I don't want to replay it.
You know, if Chuck Schumer's entire career spoke out against the dangers of a government shutdown and why we should pass clean continuing resolutions.
Now he won't do it because he's now beholden to his radical extreme base that has taken over his party.
And now it's going to culminate in the election of, you know, Marxist Kami Mamdani.
Can't believe it.
Appreciate the call, Steve.
Let me give you some numbers here.
40% of young Americans think violence against the rich is sometimes justified according to this survey.
That's how thick, sick things are getting in this country.
I mean, and when you break it down demographically, it gets even more interesting.
40% of Americans think violence against the rich is sometimes justified.
If you're between the ages of 18 and 29, the next age group, 30 to 44, 30% think that violence against rich people is somewhat justified.
Is this what class warfare?
You know, I've met, in the course of my life, I've met some very successful people.
And I haven't met many people in my life that I would describe as a trust fund baby or a trust fund brat or somebody that really inherited their money.
Most people I know that I've talked to, when you get into their biography, their background, their story, and how they became successful, they did it through grit, determination, overcoming obstacles, hard work, usually a belief in God, old-fashioned, hardworking, you know, faith, family, country values.
That's how they make money.
And now we're going to punish them for it.
Why?
They're producing goods and services.
You can't force people to buy what you're producing.
You can't force people to patronize your company.
I can't force you to listen to this program.
I wish I could.
And mandate everybody three hours a day every day.
That's all I ask.
I can't force you to watch my TV show.
I urge you to watch every night 9 to 10.
You have to put on a product that people want.
I mean, Democrats kind of make it easy.
The legacy, you know, state-run legacy media mom makes it easy because they're so corrupt.
You know, there's a report, the rhetoric and roadblocks, Democrats stoking fear.
I am telling you, this dehumanizing rhetoric, this incitement rhetoric is going to end in a disaster.
We already have assassination culture we are living through.
Rod in California, what's up, Rod?
How are you?
The United Socialist Utopia of Gavin.
What's going on?
John Hannity, you are a great American, and I appreciate you more and more every day.
Appreciate you, my friend.
God bless you.
What's on your mind out there?
What the hell are you doing out in California?
You know what?
I'm trying to keep my head afloat while the governor destroys my state.
Well, you do have other options.
A lot of people in your state have just gotten their U-Haul.
The downside is if you get a U-Haul, you take it to Texas, for example, you're going to pay one price and probably about anywhere from $2,500 to $3,000.
But if you are in Texas moving to California, you know, you could probably take it back for $400 because you're doing U-Haul a favor by bringing it back for them.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
And I, you know, unfortunately, I'm self-employed, so I've created a nice jail for myself.
So at least the weather is good.
So the point I want to make is with regard to the big, beautiful ballroom and specifically Hillary Clinton shooting her mouth off on how Donald Trump is destroying the White House.
Now, you know, Sean, you're more astute in these matters than I am, but wasn't it Hillary Clinton that destroyed 35,000 of our emails?
And didn't she bleach bit computers that were ours?
And didn't she crush BlackBerries that were ours?
That would be correct, sir.
That is correct.
I'm trying to make sure that I wasn't off base that, you know, I was speaking out of turn here because it seems to me like he's leaving a legacy for generations.
And all she did was protect herself and protect her ilk from prosecution.
Let me tell you something.
What Democrats get away with is unbelievable.
It just is unbelievable.
The double standard is breathtaking.
Anyway, Rod, appreciate you, man.
Tom and Marilyn, we have about a minute.
It's all yours.
Go.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for taking my call and God bless you for hiring Linda.
Why are you sucking up to Linda?
It's nauseating stop.
It's nauseating.
I just wanted to mention the fact that I'm a retired GI who's a federal civilian, and I have to go to work.
I'm one of those who has to go in.
Today I got a leave an earnings statement and it said for the first time in 49 years, it said zero.
And, you know, I'm older.
I can get through this.
But there are some very young civilians that work with me and for me that were also not paid anything.
And they're not going to be able to make house payments, car payments, loan payments.
It's getting.
No, it does get painful, but it usually doesn't go on this long.
We'll see how long the Democrats drag this out.
And then usually everybody gets back pay and everyone is able to catch up, et cetera.
I'm sure that's going to happen at some time.
But we've never been dealing with Democrats that are this radical and extreme.
I mean, that's the big problem.
Anyway, good call.
Hope you have a great weekend, my friend.
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.
