0:00.0	This is an I-Heart podcast.
0:04.0	What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
0:08.5	Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
0:15.1	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
0:18.5	From prologue projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
0:23.6	What difference at this point does it make?
0:26.6	Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, in the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

1:35.2	So today's show will be longer, but this is everything that he had to say about his new book
1:40.6	Under Seeds. It's out now.
1:43.2	But first, every so often, something happens that reminds us
1:47.1	just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to take our rights for granted. We must draw a line
