Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey everyone, welcome to From the Kitchen Table. I'm Sean Duffy along with my co-host of the podcast, my partner in life and my wife, Rachel Campos Duffy. Hey, Sean. It's great to be back. We have a lot of great topics today. We actually really do. So we're going to talk about Ilan Omong and her treasonous comments where she was talking about putting Somalia, where she's originally from, ahead of the U.S. And she's a U.S. congresswoman. We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about, if you recall in Iowa, they had this devil display over Christmas. The guy took a sword to it. He was awesome. Cut it down. Well, now the charges have come out. We're going to talk about the felony charges for this individual. Charges
Starting point is 00:00:50 with hate crime, right? Hate crime and felony. Yeah, we're going to talk about that. We're also going to talk about this ever-increasing divide between men and women, young men and women. Women getting further left, you know, young men getting further right. It's hard for love. It's hard for babies. Hard to make babies when you don't want to talk to each other. Yeah, no doubt about that. But before that, you have a little riff you want to go on. Well, yeah, because I read this article this morning, and every now and then I read something that I'm like,
Starting point is 00:01:18 because, you know, I have a writer's heart. I'm a writer at heart. You do. You have a writer's heart. I love to. It's like, we talked about New Year's resolutions. My New Year's resolution is to get
Starting point is 00:01:29 more help to pick up in my house so I can actually find more time to write because I love to write and it's a muscle. And if you don't... How are you doing on that search? About as bad as my muscles are in that little gym we have over there. No doubt. So it's not going well. So I got to work on it.
Starting point is 00:01:46 But I love great writers. And there are, you know, some of them that they write something, and I'm like, damn it, why didn't I write that? Why didn't I think of that? We had a podcast that we did. It's coming out this week with Kennedy, another great writer. She writes a lot of stuff. And I'm like, darn it, why didn't I think of that?
Starting point is 00:02:04 She's awesome. I love every lot of stuff, and I'm like, when did I think of that? She's awesome. I love every article of hers in the Daily Mail. This morning, I read an article by a man named Albin Sabar on American Greatness, which is a website I really like. And the title of the article is, How's Life in Obama's Fundamentally Transformed America Working Out for You So Far? Which, of course course is a great title in and of itself. But I want you to listen to something, Sean, because you and I love It's
Starting point is 00:02:32 a Wonderful Life. It's like one of our favorite movies. It's a Christmas classic for us. New Year's Christmas classic, kind of. It's a classic. The kids love it too, by the way, which is great. Our kids love it too. We watch it many times a year, mostly around the holidays. Like we'll watch it like three or four times, you know, over the holidays. We just love it. You never grow tired of it. It's a piece of Americana. And listen to this. He references it.
Starting point is 00:02:58 This movie, It's a Wonderful Life, explaining what life is like in America. Because we feel this change. Right. There's something that has, in Obama's word, fundamentally transformed. So before you do that, we should probably explain, for those of you who have not seen It's a Wonderful Life, Jimmy Stewart, it's a classic, but Jimmy Stewart's a banker. Reluctant banker. Reluctant banker. He wanted to travel the world.
Starting point is 00:03:24 He never did. He stayed home and he served his community, giving people loans for businesses and homes. And the villain in the story is Mr. Potter, who is a greedy old man who doesn't care about the way people live, just wants to make money
Starting point is 00:03:38 off the community. Yeah, soulless guy. And George Bailey, who is played by Jimmy Stewart, loses money. His assistant loses money. Yeah, one of his co-workers loses some money. He wants to kill himself. In any case, he says, I wish I had never been born. It's a horrible rendition I'm giving of It's a Wonderful Life.
Starting point is 00:03:58 No, no. Actually, I think it's really good. At one point, just a bunch of circumstances happen where he's in big trouble. At one point, just a bunch of circumstances happen where he's in big trouble. And he basically says, I wish I had been born. Then my family wouldn't have to go through what's going to happen because of this trouble. And an angel hears his wish and grants his wish. And he gets to see what life is like without him.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Well, without him, Bedford Falls, this beautiful place. When you watch the movie, you just go, this really is Americana, right? If you lived in small-town America, you still recognize Bedford Falls. Bedford Falls. It feels like Hayward, Wisconsin. Or it feels like Main Street Disney that Walt envisioned if you go to Disney World. Yeah, but that's a little bit soulless. I'm talking about like... No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:04:41 I mean, visually, it looks like that. It does. But there's something about small town communities. What really made Bedford Falls, Bedford Falls was the relationships of everyone in the community that they knew each other, that cared about each other. Um, you know, you said hi to people when you walked by on the streets, uh, the police officers, everyone knew each other. That's right. Your town is like that, Sean, where you grew up and, and it's a little, it's a little piece
Starting point is 00:05:05 of Bedford Falls. But when the wish gets granted that he says, I wish I'd ever been born, without him in the town, sort of keeping these families going through his small lending that he does, it becomes Pottersville. Mr. Potter took over the town and they all live in his shacks in the city. And we get to see what Pottersville would look like, and it's a dreary, ugly... There's drugs, prostitution, gambling. Everyone lives in these slums. Just no morals, right? It's a dirty place.
Starting point is 00:05:37 And no morals. It gets dirtier, and I kind of like how Midtown Manhattan is. Yes. So anyway, that's Pottersville. So listen to this quote from this article. I was a big lead into this. But if you hadn't seen the movie, you kind of needed it. Okay. She says, So where does this leave us, except for the bump in the road? This is from this author, Albin Savar, except for the bump in the road after the Obama presidency, that the left was not
Starting point is 00:06:01 anticipating the Trump presidency. In a few short years, we have fallen as far behind, as far as Bedford Falls of It's a Wonderful Life had descended into Pottersville. The United States has been transformed into Obamasville. And I just thought, if you've seen this movie, you absolutely recognize what he's saying right there and really we don't recognize America I mean we're in a place where you know they're trying to you know you can do drag shows for kindergartners and you're supposed to believe that's okay
Starting point is 00:06:39 um where you know good people are put in jail, like innocent pro-life protesters, or parents going to school board meetings trying to protect their children, and they're the villains, and then the bad guys are celebrated all over the place. I mean, there's so much crime. Our borders are open. Kids are dying of drug overdoses and fentanyl. We're just in this terrible. And it's true. It doesn't feel like America. And when I talk to people like my own mom, who is an immigrant who came to this country, you know, when America was really in this beautiful space, you know, the late 60s, early 70s, the 80s. She just loves America, and she can't recognize it anymore. And I think what's important is when a guy who comes in out of nowhere from Illinois as a senator and says,
Starting point is 00:07:33 I want to fundamentally change America, we shouldn't all just say, great. We should go, well, how do you want to change America? What does your America look like? That question was never asked by the electorate and by the media. And now we know what Obama's America, the fundamental transformation looks like. And it's Joe Biden's America as well. You're right. It is open borders, chaos overseas, crime in our cities, a legalization of drugs and prostitution and pornography,
Starting point is 00:08:03 warping the minds of our kids in our schools, not to educate them, but to indoctrinate them. It's a mess. And there was a blip in the road. Donald Trump's four years actually thought, you know what? We can bring America back. We don't have to be Pottersville. We can go back to Bedford Falls. And these globalist elites are like, no, we are going to transform this country. And to make another comparison to the movies, the elites are just like Mr. Potter. They get rich. Everyone is poor living in slums as they're focused on gambling and prostitution and drinking.
Starting point is 00:08:40 And he's a really wealthy guy as everyone lives this debaucherous life. And all these elites are getting rich as we all now live in this crummier America than what we had before Barack Obama. Yeah. You know, they just tell you, I mean, we saw it on overdrive during COVID. It's like, get your Netflix, order your food in. You know, Jeff Bezos is getting richer. The little corner store down the street got poor or went bankrupt. The little restaurant, the small business guy went out of business. But Walmarts were open and all the big companies got richer and all the small guys got hurt. And that's the America that is what it means to fundamentally transform. And the reason why they want that is the wiliest,
Starting point is 00:09:24 hardest to control people are small business owners. They will always be. And you can see this if you go back in history and look at communist history, what happened in the Soviet Union and in the Eastern Bloc countries now at that time, you had to get rid of the small business owners because they're the wiliest ones and the hardest to control. And that's what happened here. And we saw our middle class shrink. We had a bigger number of poor people, smaller number. The income disparity, it just grew exponentially. And so, but it brings us to kind of our next topic, which
Starting point is 00:09:57 this is a topic that I know you love. And actually, I like it as well. So there's this growing divide between men and women in the country and their politics. And that divide has grown as well over this period of time that we're talking about. Of course. Well, I think it probably started to expand more during the Donald Trump years, probably in 2017, where young single women have been becoming far more liberal and young men are becoming far more conservative. So there used to be kind of all young people in a world a little bit liberal, but now you have more women becoming more liberal and less men becoming liberal. So the political divide is challenging, and I would argue,
Starting point is 00:10:38 and just from people that we talk to, women are far more aggressive in their liberalism as opposed to men in their conservatism they won't men are finding their way to express their conservatism too but they want they want to they want to date trump supporters right the liberal women that's right yeah so because there's always been that myth of liberal tolerance once you're you know liberals like to pretend like they're tolerant and open-minded it's quite the opposite but i love you know that that point that you all all young people always tended to be more liberal right that's sort of like that rebellious point if you were young and you were in and and and you weren't a liberal you know then you didn't
Starting point is 00:11:16 have a heart but then if you were as you grow older if you were a liberal you didn't have a brain um and so it was sort of like you grew into you got married and you started when you started to pay taxes and you started to take care of of your family and you realize that yeah maybe this conservative um you know philosophy makes a little more sense and so you would see and this is statistically and proven you know through the data that as women got married and had children, they became more conservative. But we didn't see that during the Trump years. We saw women sort of becoming more liberal. And there's a lot of theories about that.
Starting point is 00:11:52 It could be that finally, you know, the indoctrination has gotten so intense that they never kind of came out of it. Or there's something about Donald Trump that really triggers some women. And, you know, it could be, you know, this slandering, I don't know what it is, but there's something that triggers a lot of women about Donald Trump. Yeah. So this, this, these numbers are actually upside down to where they were in the early 1980s, in the 1970s and 60s. Actually, women were more conservative than men back then. Right. And to explain that women were had, there's more religion in a woman's life. And the religion in a woman's life made them more conservative.
Starting point is 00:12:32 And men, they were more probable to be part of a union, which made them more Democrat. So men were more Democrat. Women were more conservative. Because of religious affiliation. That's right. And as unions have gone down in membership. And as we've become more secular as a nation. We've seen the lines cross now.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Fascinating. And here's what's interesting, too. I mean, I would argue that it would make sense for young men to also be liberals. sense for young men to also be liberals. They're indoctrinated with the same social media, the same movies, the same education. Why aren't they becoming more liberal? This is my theory. So young men are under assault. Masculinity, malehood is under assault. And I think there was a bit of a shock in that for a while. But then I think young men have become angry and go, well, who's attacking me? Who's attacking the very nature of who I am? And it's coming from liberals.
Starting point is 00:13:32 And they've gravitated towards really strong men. Again, whether it's Dan Bongino and others. Or Jordan Peterson kind of having that that that paternal um influence on them but also by the way not demonizing them actually celebrating them for being men and their masculinity and how important that is for society and families and and religion and so they're like you know what i like people that like me and that's the republican party or the conservatism i hate the liberals who hate everything about me. Yeah, no, I totally. No, I think your philosophy is right. And I think what also happened at that time was this alternative media, right? So now there were
Starting point is 00:14:14 places where, you know, George Peterson was on, you know, YouTube, and you could go on to other platforms like Rumble, or even so, you know even some of the Instagram and Twitter, and you could find these other voices. Now, they've had to actually ban them. So, for example, someone on the way extreme of the masculine side, like Andrew Tate, became a dangerous figure because it was part of what was called the manosphere. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:42 So men were gravitating towards this part of social media where were other men strong men were saying this is how to be and don't listen to those people telling you you're toxic don't listen to those voices in your classroom telling you that you know you're wrong for thinking such and such way um and embracing your masculinity and and then also like in the Jordan Peterson side, you know, a lot of these young men were lost because they were getting these messages. And at the same time, they were maybe being raised in broken homes. And so they didn't really have a father figure. So these manosphere strong men personalities that you pointed out, by the way,
Starting point is 00:15:22 Joe Rogan, also another one of them, started to help form or at least create a community where if you were a man, you could feel like it was, now listen to this word, a safe place. A safe place. A safe place. A safe place. With a different meaning. So it was a different meaning. So yeah, I think all that happened.
Starting point is 00:15:41 So now what's, now there are two aspects of this, Sean. I wanted to ask you this, can I make one of the Sean. There's a social aspect, like what happens to relationships, and then there's a political aspect to this. Just first real quick as I open up my LaCroix and crack it. So I agree with you, men have not been taught how to be men. The culture, the movies, the schools, the broken homes. Usually I know growing up, whether it was my, my, my father or my older brothers, um, or, or even the older men that I worked with, or even Hollywood had some sort of male masculine figures that you could look up to. And it's like, you could see masculinity in a lot of places in your life. Even a, even a teacher, you can go like that. What was the show you grew up with
Starting point is 00:16:27 that had a strong male figure? So just, you know, like I didn't have a TV growing up. I know, but you snuck watching TV. Yeah, but I can't, well listen, okay. You like to Duke's and Hazard. I was just gonna go to Duke's and Hazard. Bo and Luke Duke, I could go with Chips. Yeah, I was gonna say Chips was a good one.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Punch and John. They were good guys. They were good guys, yeah, as a little boy. But again, young men have had to go onto social media and be trained in what is masculinity. What is it to be a man? How do you be a man? What does it mean to be a man?
Starting point is 00:16:58 And they've been inspired by it, and they love it. And again, that feeds into this divide that we have, which we're going to talk about. What does it mean for our society? What does it mean for culture when you have men and women who very fundamentally don't see the world the same way? Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting. So in the dating world and you're right, the women are more vocal about how they feel. So they will put on their their dating apps they'll say no trump supporters and the men because men just want women right um and they're willing to date the women if they if that's what it means we're less picky they're less picky that's the way to put it for
Starting point is 00:17:36 men are less picky so they're not putting that on there but ultimately what i when i saw some of these more picky long term but, but very short-term. Like, right on Saturday night, that's what's happening. We're hooking up their equal opportunity. That's right. They can date communists for a night. For a night. I don't recommend it for the long term.

Starting point is 00:19:04 be a problem. But I think if you're a conservative woman, this is a great time for you. Yeah. Um, happy hunting. Uh, this is a good season for you because you're going to have your pick and you should put out there. I'm a conservative. You're a little unicorn. You know, you're, uh, you know, I, I, you know, love to cook. That's a good one. Um, your own sense of dignity isn't, you know, in any way threatened because you like girl stuff Taylor Swift controversy that's going on, like, is Taylor Swift an asset of George Soros and the left to get all these like, sort of, you know, non thinking women or super liberal women to register and vote? I mean, she could be a force. I mean, there was a poll that came out that said 18%. But I think the number was higher for her demo, like the younger
Starting point is 00:20:02 ones, even I think it was a third of young people would consider voting for whoever Taylor Swift and her Mr. Pfizer boyfriend decided to vote for. You know, that's a scary proposition. And what Republicans have said to this is, oh, well, we better take down Taylor Swift because, you know, she's bad and she, you know, pollutes the environment with her private planes and she's a big old hypocrite, you know. So let's expose her for all her hypocrisy and all her bad stuff. But the other side is, why don't you just try and, you know, fortify and gin up the guys on the right, the guys who are getting red-pilled, essentially. Why aren't you working on that instead of tearing down Taylor Swift?
Starting point is 00:20:43 Because in the end, I don't know. So you make a really good point. So going back to Barack Obama, who wanted to destroy America, and he did, he was a community organizer. He was able to organize his voters and make sure that they went out and voted in 2008. Republicans have to do the same thing. You have to organize men, make sure they go out in the same numbers as women or higher numbers than women. It's also interesting. So should they use social media? Of course, whether it's social media or, I mean, it's,
Starting point is 00:21:20 again, the left is going on with influencers and trying to get them to talk about how great Joe Biden is. You've got to talk to conservative or male-dominated platforms. And you see that. You see Donald Trump going on with the Nelk brothers. You have to do that. But this is another what's interesting politically, and you mentioned this, as men and women get married, those women will become more conservative. The men usually don't become more liberal. In marriage, you don't need the sugar daddy state.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Right, which is why they want all these single women. You have a family. But it also brings me to another point. I have heard so many conservative African-American men and women say, we're talking about the politics of this transition of Hispanics and African-Americans, what's happening? And they'll talk about, you know, there's like now more than ever in the last 70 years, an opening for the community to vote Republican. And every single one of them without prompting, without asking will say, but you have to reach out.
Starting point is 00:22:26 You've got to go to the community. We had Jack Brewer on our podcast who was talking about this very thing, saying you've got to go to the African-American community. You have to go to churches. You have to go to community centers. You have to talk to people, organize them, because if you're not willing to show up for them, why do they think you're going to support them and listen to them and fight for the issue? Whose job is it to do that? This is the RNC's job. This is the state party's job. It's the candidate's job, all of them.
Starting point is 00:22:50 It's mayors. It's congressmen and women. The whole political spectrum has to reach out. It just can't be the job. I mean, the RNC can't do every single community in the country. But they have to set the tone and they have to start the sort of, that's where the money is going to start these grassroots organizations. And it is. And Republicans have a reputation and it's an accurate reputation. They'll show up in a minority community that doesn't really vote for them, like the Hispanic community or the black community.
Starting point is 00:23:23 About four months before an election. And expect that they're going to bear fruit from that. And they will not. And what liberals do is they have community organizations. And we saw it with ACORN. And then, by the way, after ACORN was exposed for being what it was, they just dispersed and renamed themselves into a thousand other organizations. And they remain on the ground. They remain on the ground. They don't go anywhere. They don't go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:23:49 They're there for four years. They're recruiting people onto city council and onto, they're always working. That is what Barack Obama brought. He was a terrible president. He was a terrible CEO, but he was a really good community organizer. But a lot of these liberal organization groups, they are funded by the government. By us. Yes. The taxpayer funds them. It's really hard to raise money and do this. It's really easy if Republicans and Democrats pay their taxes and then the liberal groups to organize in cities is paid for by the taxpayer. I always wondered why
Starting point is 00:24:22 Congress didn't defund all of these community organizations. We should be out of that business altogether. If George Soros wants to give his billions to some justice group, then let him do it. But we shouldn't be giving any money to those groups, and we are doing it.
Starting point is 00:24:40 What's happening at the border is completely an NGO, a non-governmental organization scam that's right billionaires fund then the billionaires give money to the politicians and the politicians take your tax money and fund it back into those ngos it's a scam who's the who's the little the little uh video blogger who you we were talking about this other day who is he's going to organize uh voters he's not he He is a guy who became a Republican. He sort of was red-pilled himself. His name is Scott Pressler.
Starting point is 00:25:11 I want to get him onto our podcast. He is incredible. If you follow him, he's on Twitter. You can follow him at The Persistence. He's doing the work, frankly, that the RNC is not doing. There was an interesting article that came out this week criticizing Ronna McDaniel. Her face has changed, just to be really honest. Her face has changed over the course of the last few years.
Starting point is 00:25:31 They actually tracked how much money she's spending at like meta spas and places like supposedly it's for like, look, if you'd go do TV on behalf of the RNC, I think you should have a makeup artist. I have no problem with the head of the RNc who has to make a lot of media appearances having a hairstylist makeup artist that's fine but it appears from these documents that have been released that you know she's getting other kinds of work done on her face under the auspices of you know this is for my tv media work, and her face is transforming.
Starting point is 00:26:05 And maybe if there was a little less lip injections and a little more groundwork, like Scott Pressler's doing, he is going around to every district and every state that we were, you know, almost one, making sure that we're registering people who's just in Arizona. But he also went, for example, it's a great, great thing that he did. You know, Pennsylvania is one of those states, Sean, where, you know, it's always, you know, 20, 30, 40 votes can decide the outcome. Exactly. And we have, there's a very large Amish community there.
Starting point is 00:26:38 And he figured out that the number of, I can't remember if it was like, I can't remember the number of the Amish community. In fact, I'll try and see if I can find it. Well, I think it was like, so. What did I tell you it was? They have enough, there was enough Amish if they all voted and they voted Republican, it would have swayed the election. Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:54 He could swing, so he's down registering the Amish. Well, duh. Like, why isn't the RNC doing that? Why is it up to Scott Pressler? I want to get him onto the show and talk about everything that he's doing. He's super, and by the way, his attitude, like, I actually think he should be the head of the RNC. He
Starting point is 00:27:11 is such a positive person. You know, he also goes and does cleanups where, you know, people are you know, destroying certain areas of cities. He's like, calls people and says, let's, um, let's get together and just clean this little area up.
Starting point is 00:27:29 He's just a positive person. I want to get him on the podcast. I want to talk about what he's doing. I want to talk about what he's learned. But you made a good point. So the Pennsylvania Republican party should have an Amish designee to organize the Amish to make sure they vote. And whether it's in Indiana or, and we don't need Indiana or Ohio, but maybe there's a big community in Michigan. Right. There's some in Wisconsin as well. They should be organized.
Starting point is 00:27:55 He's not just registering, he's training people, Sean. But if you don't go back to this concept that you have to make sure your voters go to the polls, you're probably not going to change the minds of liberal women. But you've got conservative young men, get them to vote. And so that's, I think it's a really important facet of the coming election. But also it does concern me about what are we as a country? Is there going to be even less marriage 10 years from now than there is today because men and women can't find love because of these politics?
Starting point is 00:28:27 We did a story about what they're called, the men who go overseas to find a woman. Oh, yeah. They were called something. Passport boys. Passport bros. Yeah. Passport bros. Guys who go overseas because they're looking for women who want to get married, who have, you know, what I guess traditional.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It's not that traditional. I mean, it just means you want to get married, who have, you know, what I guess traditional, but it's not that traditional. I mean, it just means you want to have a family. No, men want to marry a woman. Men don't want to marry a man in a woman's body. They don't want that. So we look for women. And if you can't find a woman because she's like been trained to be a man, you'll go overseas and go, I want to find a real woman. Who wants to have a family, who wants to care for the kids. Some of these guys are looking for... There's some guys that are just looking for women who are submissive. There's that element.
Starting point is 00:29:18 There's an element of that. But I think, Sean... Well, they shouldn't go to Latin America if they want the submissive ones. In this new Pottersville, what did you say? They shouldn't go to Latin America if they want the submissive ones. Yeah, we discussed this on our podcast. Somewhere else in the world. If you're looking for submissive women, don't go to Latin America.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Don't. We may act like that at first. But they are women. I mean, really, you get a woman in a woman's body if you go to Latin America, just not submissive. Yeah, you will not get a submissive woman in Latin America. But anyway, here's the deal. I think in this new Pottersville, I think this is an extreme. I keep hoping that this is sort of like a haze that we're living in. And I think, I think the pendulum's going to swing the other way. I have a lot of hope because ultimately we're wired for love. We're wired to want to procreate. We're wired for marriage. We're just in a weird, fundamentally transformed
Starting point is 00:30:11 haze, I think. And we got to get out of this. And I think Donald Trump represents this new other America that you talked about, you know, really a return to the 80s. So we want to have America like the 80s and we want to date like the 80s and we talk about that we do that so but um that's a good podcast if you're looking for an old one date like the 80s i do not think that we come back unless some things happen no and the reason and the reason is because all of the energy all of the money all of the energy, all of the money, all of the organizations, the schools, corporations, the government, the military, the social media, the media. You can't find one space where there's a big organization that's conservative.
Starting point is 00:30:59 You have a lot of farmers. You have families. You have small business owners. And so the only way this changes is if the masses come out and crush it. And if you ever watched, if you ever read Lord of the Rings, the ants were the trees that everyone wrote off off and all of a sudden get involved right well yeah they just they never got they never did get involved but they woke up and they came into battle and it was like holy they're big tree i don't know who are the ants in this political listen i think i think it's the average american who hasn't paid attention to politics because
Starting point is 00:31:41 they were still living their lives. They're waking up. I'm sorry, but we're talking about Pottersville. But if the ends wake up and it is this average American man and woman and they get involved to save their country, we can win. But you need a massive political force to beat these people. Because they're going to try and cheat again and there's
Starting point is 00:32:01 all that as well. I'm going to tell you what, I think people are waking up. I think're on to it um and and i think they they you know you see that there's there's all kinds of articles coming out now about you know the rise of school choice the more that we get our kids out of these commie you know camps yeah schools um and and start having alternatives and and again i i just think people are do, I think people are waking up now, whether the system through, you know, all these mail-in ballots and, you know, all these different ways that they're, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:33 trying to censor and in many ways, they're interfering with the election, with the charges against Donald Trump, all the different ways that they're trying to interfere with the election. If there is an overwhelming support, we can overcome that. That is true. the charges against Donald Trump, all the different ways that they're trying to interfere with the election. If there is an overwhelming support, we can overcome that. That is true.
Starting point is 00:32:49 But you're right. It's going to take an overwhelming support. It's going to be very, very hard. So, but again, if there's a wake up, we can save it. But the further you get away from the early 2000s, even the 90s with Bill Clinton or the 80s, the harder it is to bring it back because people forget. They think this is the new normal. Wait right there.
Starting point is 00:33:07 We're going to have more of that conversation next. We'll talk about a new normal. Let's talk about a new normal. We have a member of Congress, you know, from the state of Minnesota, and she represents a Somali, just a district with a lot of Somali Americans who were brought in, you know, through immigration, legal immigration, because they had a civil war there. They were in refugee camps, most of them. And they won a lottery ticket. They came to America.
Starting point is 00:33:39 And they got to America. One of them was Ilan Omar. to America. One of them was Ilan Omar. And she is one of these people that came here as a young child and just got steeped in all this anti-Americanism yet ended up in
Starting point is 00:33:54 Congress and has been one of the biggest detractors of America. Never has a kind word to say. And now she gave a speech I believe with the ambassador of Somalia was there, I believe. And she gave it in Somali and somebody translated it. And it ended up on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:34:17 And boy, Sean, this thing has gone viral. It hasn't. So and again, we can talk about what she said. We should. Okay, so the U.S. government will only do what Somalians in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders, and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia. We Somalians must have confidence in ourselves that we call the shots in the U.S.
Starting point is 00:34:46 We live in the U.S., pay taxes in the U.S., and have a real voice. She also said, sleep in comfort knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system. Listen, read that last line. Reread that. Sleep in comfort. Sleep in comfort knowing I am here to protect the interests of somalia from inside the u.s system this is ilan omar she also said in the speech sean that she was a somali first then islam i'm trying to remember what that there i'm going to try and
Starting point is 00:35:16 look that up right now but essentially she didn't say i'm an american first somali then a muslim and then maybe she's so here so here let's unpack that a little bit because, one, when you're elected to Congress, you swear to defend the U.S. Constitution, right? But with that, you also represent the 750,000 people that sent you to Congress, and you represent a lot of their interests and the US interests while you're in Congress. She has a lot of Somalians in her district that are loyal to Somalia, which that brings a whole other-
Starting point is 00:35:56 Are you supposed to represent your district in her defense? Well, no, no, I'm not gonna defend this, but it points at a different problem, which is when migrants come to this country, we should have a significant effort to assimilate them. So they leave their country of origin and they become Americans. And what we see, not just with the Somali community, but all these communities, they retain their allegiance to their home country and they don't become allegiant to America. And you see that with the speech from Ilan Omar. Because we're not assimilating people to this country. One, illegal immigration is completely destroying that.
Starting point is 00:36:42 You know, my mother was a legal immigrant to this country. She, you know, went through the process. There's something about the citizenship process that makes you more allegiant to this country. You realize you're part of something bigger. And it's a beautiful thing, these ceremonies are. And, but it's hard. hard i mean so she comes over you know as a young child from you know this country by the way like i'm sorry i know that
Starting point is 00:37:14 donald trump got in trouble for saying blank whole countries when he was talking about haiti but there are countries that i'm sorry somalia can't hold a candle to what the United States has done in the whole scheme of human history. And so, you know, what has Somalia contributed to the world? You know, I mean, a lot of piracy. Just saying, just saying, you know, I'm sure they're lovely people from Somalia. I like Ethiopians, they're Catholic, a little more affinity with them. But you know, the point is that you're an American and you have nothing great to say about America ever. And here you go in Somali, talking about how you're going to advance the interests of Somalia. She never once talks about America in this speech. She never once speaks about, you know, she says, I'm a Somali first.
Starting point is 00:38:08 She says that in the speech. I'm a Muslim second. I still got to figure out what her third one was. But even if she says America third, we're third. And so I'm sorry. It's a, it's a, she's always been the most ungrateful immigrant, but I think she's crossed the line. And now people are saying this is treasonous. These are grounds for removing her from Congress. What do you say about that? So first, a couple of things.
Starting point is 00:38:35 I'm so angry that the left and Joe Biden continues to say diversity is our strength. Yeah. No, diversity is not your strength. Being an American, being a melting pot, that is your strength. But having all these people come in from all different cultures that don't love America, that doesn't make us stronger. It makes us weaker. And it gives us members of Congress like Ilhan Omar, who actually hate our country and aren't loyal to it. They're loyal to Somalia so shut up Joe yeah we with diversity is not strength well that was an Obama thing too it's actually weakness yeah diversity has brought us more weakness not more
Starting point is 00:39:13 strength especially done by the Obama or the Joe Biden fashion I think I love my listen I love you know legal migration bringing people to this country I completely support but what they've done, again, created a whole community in Minneapolis-St. Paul. By the way, Minneapolis-St. Paul, I grew up only a few hours from there. It was a leftist center city, just like most cities. Minneapolis-St. Paul has gone off the rails. It is like radical leftism. And it comes from a lot of the migration that has happened in the Twin Cities. Huge problem. So, again, diversity is not strength, Joe.
Starting point is 00:39:50 But the second point is there's been a number of who is Donald Trump's campaign manager with rich dude. Orange hair was prosecuted. And Manafort. Yes. Paul Manafort. Paul Manafort was charged with being a foreign agent, not registering as a foreign agent. You can be a foreign agent, but if you work for another government... What is the definition of a foreign agent to you?
Starting point is 00:40:13 Listen, you're an agent of a foreign government. You are working for... You are hired by that country to advance their interests in our country. In our country, that's right. And you can do that, but you have to register as a foreign agent to go, okay, this guy, they're working for this country. We all know that. That's why you have to register. They said Paul Manafort, by the way, no one was ever prosecuted for not registering as a foreign agent. Paul Manafort was one of the first because he was Trump's campaign manager,
Starting point is 00:40:42 right? This was the first foray into lawfare. Ilhan Omar, by her own words, she's a foreign agent. She should be prosecuted because she hasn't registered as a foreign agent. And by the way, this is treasonous and she should be kicked out of Congress. She should be expelled. If they're going to
Starting point is 00:41:00 kick out George Santos from Congress, George Santos did nothing different to anybody compared to this. And they would let this woman stay? Agreed. We should live by the same standards. Bring back George Santos, kick out Ilhan Omar. That's going to be
Starting point is 00:41:16 my new theory. We should make shirts. Bring back George, kick out Ilhan. Here's what's interesting, Sean. Her defense is... You know I have a false thought for George Santos. I, so here's what's interesting, Sean. Her defense is you know I have a I just think he's so funny and I've been trying. I mean, my producers won't listen to me on Fox and Friends weekend. I have a
Starting point is 00:41:34 pop culture roundup. I really have been dying to have George Santos on there. I know he would be fabulous. Literally fabulous on my pop culture roundup. We ought to try to see, maybe we can get him on the podcast too. He'd be great on the podcast. Absolutely. Actually, I would like to see what George Santos has to say about this.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Yes. I would love to hear George Santos on this topic. Okay, so let me- So yeah, I told some mistruths, but I didn't, yeah, I was a little- But I didn't sell out my country. I was a little fast and loose with the facts. Yes. True. But I wasn't. Yeah, I was a little I was a little. But I didn't sell out my country. I was a little fast and loose with the facts. Yes. True. I, you know, I wasn't working for Brazil.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Exactly. He was still an American. I was working for the. Anyway, you're absolutely right, Sean. We totally have to have George Santos on this. But you know what's so fascinating is she is so disingenuous. So when this came out and all this you know people started saying people in congress are now saying this is theresa we need to kick her butt out of congress
Starting point is 00:42:29 and and we should drop papers i think marjorie taylor green is leading the charge no she's not marjorie she's another one i like um but tom hammer was giving a speech yesterday uh from the big conference the fox business was taking it live. And he's speaking, and there was a person to his right and a person to his left. And I was like, there's this, someone's behind him, and I can just see little blobs of, you know, blonde hair over his shoulder. I'm like, what is that? Who is that? And lo and behold, it was Marjorie Taylor Greene. She must be really short because you couldn't see her behind.
Starting point is 00:43:01 Tom Emmerich is actually very tall. Minnesota tall. Yeah, he's very tall minnesota tall yeah he's very tall so anyway um uh ilan omar's response to all of this and it's it's a big response people are really taking their she's saying this is propaganda i'm like it's propaganda to translate your somali speech word for word i mean you said it it's all right there we read it two times what she said sleep southie i'm advancing the cause of the somali you know what what the somali in the u.s system yeah fighting for somalia in the u.s system exactly also sean i will say this a lot of the same people who are upset that ilan omar did this said nothing when Mast, a veteran who I have a lot of respect for,
Starting point is 00:43:47 you're a friend of his, I think he's a war hero, there's no question about it, he lost his legs doing it, but he wanted to make a statement during the whole Gaza-Israel conflict, and I guess he had volunteered in the IDF. And so he decided to wear his IDF military uniform into the U.S. House chamber, which I found just over the top should have been immediately condemned from everybody on both sides of this issue. and you know I've had a lot of problems with this. I don't believe in dual citizenship. I am eligible for dual citizenship on both sides of my family. I could become a Mexican citizen. I could become a
Starting point is 00:44:32 citizen of Spain. Have you? Hells no. I am a one man woman and I am a one country woman. I do not believe in this. This is a hot issue in my country because there are people in my family who do have dual citizenship. I don believe in it i don't think we should have it um and i don't care what what what what country it is so i i know israel is an ally of america
Starting point is 00:44:55 probably one of our closest allies i don't care if it's israel i don't care if it's brazil i don't care if it's mexico i don't care if it's mine i don't believe in dual citizenship i think once you're here we need to know your allegiance, and it should be to the United States only. And that's how I feel about it. End of story. So quickly, in 1967, the rules changed to allow people to be an American citizen and a citizen of another country.
Starting point is 00:45:18 I don't know why we did that. So that was part of the Great Society. Johnson, remember? Lyndon Johnson. Yeah, we're going to end poverty. We're going to have all these social programs. And that was the start of programs that frankly cost a lot of money. And if we look at America today, which is what America was, I think it was a philosophy. It's a great philosophy idea, right? And I don't know the history of why they decided to change it.
Starting point is 00:45:53 But the thought process, I think, of Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society kind of brought in a lot of bad ideas. Maybe there's some good intentions. You could say the Great Society, maybe there were good intentions. But the consequences, as called out by conservatives at the time, were like, this is not going to bode well for our country and we've seen the consequence is trillions of dollars spent on programs and there's more poverty there's more homelessness than uh we had back in 1967 or 1965 when the great society passed so um i would agree with you. You should pledge allegiance to our flag. You should swear allegiance to our Constitution, to nowhere else. And just from my vantage point of Congress, I might have an affinity for other countries or other issues, but I always have to look at it through the lens of what's best for America, because I truly, I'm a red-blooded
Starting point is 00:46:42 American. I love this country. I'm going to do what's right for us. I would never be in Congress trying to think through how can I do something that's going to benefit another country that could actually hurt my country. Now, she might argue what I'm proposing. I don't even know what her damn issue is there. It's good for Somalia. It's good for America. She might be able to argue that. But I do think it's interesting as a rep. I mean, this is the question I have for you. You remember Congress. You obviously pledge an allegiance to the United States of America when you get sworn in, of course. But you do represent the interests of your district. And I've seen you time and time again. You have taken votes that don't work with your
Starting point is 00:47:25 party, that your party doesn't want you to take because you represent your district. And in that particular issue, it was something that your district wanted you to do. And you did it because you represent those people. That's what representative government's all about. Ilhan Omar is representing her district, which is almost entirely Somali. And that's what they wanted to do. So what do you say to that? Well, it still doesn't make it right. But it does make me say there was a problem when you bring all these Somalis to Minnesota
Starting point is 00:47:59 and they're still Somali at heart, not American at heart. And they'll then say, I want my representative to say, I'm going to fight for Somalia inside the U.S. government. That works with them. You can get elected with that. And maybe it's not fair to blame the Somali community. It's fair to blame Barack Obama and liberals who have refused to say, you know what, we shouldn't retain. You're still Mexican. You still like Mexican food. You still love, love Spain and Spanish food.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Not as much as I love America. But you're, but you've also said, this is my home country. I'm an American. And it's a mindset. Your mind is, this is my home. And, and, and I love this place. Whatever happened to you has not happened to the Somali community. Well, I mean, you can look, Sean. Let's look at the Cuban-American population in southern Florida, for example. They fled Cuba under terrible circumstances because of communism. And they came here and they experienced a free society. And Cuban-Americans love Cubaa but they love america
Starting point is 00:49:08 i've never met a cuban american um who had nothing but deep deep love and appreciation for america for the fact that america took them in and for the freedom and the anti and of course when many of them came over the anti-communist stance that this country always had. That is not the experience that Ilhan Omar had. Ilhan Omar came into a system that told her America was bad, that didn't teach her to be grateful. For I think, when you think about that Willy Wonka ticket, when he won that golden ticket,
Starting point is 00:49:42 that's what Ilhan Omar got when she got out of that crappy, you know, refugee camp in Africa where she ended up. I think she went from Somalia, I think to somewhere in northern Africa, some refugee camp. And her family pulled the golden ticket and they ended up in Minneapolis, a very cold place, but with a community of other Somalis. But she went to school and then she went to college. And in all those places, she was told this was a bad, systemically racist country. And she wasn't taught anything about communism, the death and destruction caused by communism around the world.
Starting point is 00:50:21 She is a communist. So is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. caused by communism around the world she is a communist um so is so is um alexandra costa cortez and this was all indoctrinated into these girls in their schools and so you know you fill them up with that and they're going to end up in congress doing what you just saw what was it the the heavier set girl emily wonka that fell in she got the golden ticket but she fell into the fell in she got the golden ticket but she fell into the the stream and she was sent off as a bad nut bad oh yeah was that um uh i forget who that was yes violet yes violet was she's like the violet of uluwanka she was a bad nut um she's a bad but i'm gonna you you and nut is she she is a nut um you talk about the Cuban community.
Starting point is 00:51:06 That's interesting because, if you're fair, the Cuban community cares a lot about Cuba. And they want the U.S. to take certain action that they think is going to benefit the Cuban people. No, they wanted to get rid of the they wanted to get rid of the cast that is so excited you might go they do i think that's in our best interest i think you would agree yeah we don't want to call them 90 miles no i know but you might go well i think there's not a lot of reflection upon is this best for america it is we want to do all we can to get rid of castro um and that andBalart, the congressman from southern Florida, talks, he's fighting for Cuba as well as America. Because he genuinely believes that that's in the interest of both countries. Nobody would say Marco Rubio or Mario Díaz-Balart. These are
Starting point is 00:52:00 patriots. They are patriots who love this country, who have nothing but good things to say. If you hear a Marco Rubio speech, you listen to Marco Rubio speak, and you come out loving America more. I mean, you listen to an Omar speech. By the way, she never mentioned America in this speech. Let's give her a ticket back to Somalia. Amen. Go on back. We'll have more of this conversation after this.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Can we do one more topic before we go? Yeah, let's do it. All right. So if you guys recall, in Iowa, there was... In the heartland? In the heartland. Yeah. In the capital, they were allowed to put up for a very long time religious decorations.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Like for Christmas. And oftentimes that would be... Like a nativity scene, religious decorations. Like for Christmas. And oftentimes that would be Christmas decorations. Like, that's right, like the nativity scene. Well, the way the rule was written, this last year, the Satanic Temple of Iowa, under Iowa state law, they were also allowed to put up a, this is in air quotes if you're listening, a religious display. And the major backlash from the governor of Iowa, representatives, they're all angry that this was happening. But the way the law was written, they figured they had to allow this to happen.
Starting point is 00:53:19 And it was a figure depicting the horn deity Baphomet, I believe is what it is. Baphomet. Baphomet, okay. He's some sort of demon. This is an affront to Christianity. This is an affront to good versus evil. Yeah, good versus evil. We don't, again, whatever.
Starting point is 00:53:41 So hold that for a second. The image is scary. So Michael Cassidy from Mississippi goes to Iowa and he destroys. Takes a sword, right? Does he have a sword? I don't know what he did. I think he took a sword. I think he took a sword to a shot.
Starting point is 00:53:59 And crushed the devil in the Capitol. Okay. Destroys it. And frankly, I thought the sun shone a little brighter that day to take out the devil in the Capitol, okay? Destroys it. And frankly, I thought the sun shone a little brighter that day to take out the devil. And what a good man, I would argue, for doing it. When I heard the story, Sean, I thought it was Pete Hegseth. I thought he did it.
Starting point is 00:54:15 I did. I was like, oh, no. Pete was in Iowa. Pete was in Iowa. He was. But he was there a couple months later. So anyway, here's what happens. Here's the rest of the story.
Starting point is 00:54:27 So Michael Cassidy, he is charged then with fourth degree criminal mischief. That's a misdemeanor. I don't know what the maximum sentence is for a fourth degree criminal mischief. But that wasn't enough. So the prosecutors had to relook at the case. And now they've come back and said, we're going to up the charges. This is felony third-degree criminal mischief in violation of individual rights, and the charges come under Iowa's hate crime statute. How rich is that? The devil is protected by hate crimes?
Starting point is 00:54:59 It's the opposite of hate. So the devil represents hate. Right? Evil. It's evil. It's dark. So you get rid of that, and now you're charged with a hate crime. You know, Sean, I'm going to take that. All the Satanic Temple is trying to do is harass Christians, to mock and minimize Christians.
Starting point is 00:55:22 I'm sorry. For trolling Christians. Should have never been allowed to go up. Again, I... Shame on these states for like, and these legislators who allow this kind of stuff to happen. I'm taking the outward,
Starting point is 00:55:34 the sort of, it used to be that evil would kind of hide its way. And now the mask is off. You see, you know, this is not the only place where it's happening in other places where they're putting see, you know, this is not the only place where it's happening in other places where they're putting up, you know, in, in Wisconsin at a train museum. They had a green
Starting point is 00:55:52 Bay, Wisconsin. Yeah. I mean, these things aren't just happening Berkeley and in Brooklyn and in liberal places it's happening in Milwaukee and green Bay in, in Iowa, in the heartland. And it's getting normalized. So what was it? The image was another in Green Bay. Yeah, it was the same kind of thing. It was a satanic temple display. And it was for like kids at Christmas.
Starting point is 00:56:23 And they were actually doing like a Polar Express thing. And these jerks are like, we're going to ruin the Polar Express experience for a bunch of parents and their kids celebrating Christmas. And we're going to put up a satanic head there. This is the kind of crap that's going on. In addition to that, Prime Video, Sean, and I am just so furious about this. They have what they claim is an adult cartoon uh called the has-been hotel and you know any kid would look at this and go oh yeah i'll watch this and it is uh the whole premise of the has-been hotel animated series is that lucifer's daughter is the hero and they're basically there's like an overpopulation problem in hell
Starting point is 00:57:05 and she's gonna rehabilitate all these all these people gone to hell and actually the mean guy in the cartoon is God he's the bad guy who you know didn't understand that Lucifer was just being mistreated just misunderstood reason was kicked out of heaven is that God was just so judgmental and mean. And so, I mean, the messages that are getting out to children and in the form, again, they wanted to make a movie and make it rated R about this.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Okay, no. They're putting it on Prime Video where they know a lot of kids are just searching through different stuff. They make it animated so it's attractive to children. And the messages aren't even subtle. They make it animated so it's attractive to children. And the messages aren't even subtle. They are totally over it. It's called Has Been Hotel. If you get a chance,
Starting point is 00:57:52 go onto Twitter and Google that. You'll see like a little promo video of it. It will horrify you. You cannot believe that this is on a platform like Prime Video. And there's been virtually no reaction to it. Nobody is boycotting me. If this had happened 10 years ago, you know, before the fundamental transformation of America, parents would be universally outraged and have this thing thrown off or put on some, you know, some platform where you can't access it unless you're over 18. Oh, no, this is sitting right on Prime Video,
Starting point is 00:58:28 has been hotel, where the hero, the good guy, is Satan's daughter, and God is the enemy. Right in your face. It shows you how far our country has fallen. And again, how important courts are. I have to imagine that the interpretation in Iowa was that the Supreme Court is going to require us to allow this satanic display at the Capitol. Now, here's my concern. There's a religious calendar,
Starting point is 00:58:59 and every religion has a calendar of when important things come up. So you have your day off in Rosh Hashanah, or you have Christmas and Easter and Yom Kippur or whatever. It just so happens that the Satanic Temple, when Christians want to come and put their displays up, it's like, oh no, that's the Satanic Temple day as well. We're going to come and put our stuff just alongside yours. Again, to troll, to offend. In the courthouses. I guess my point is I don't agree with any satanic displays.
Starting point is 00:59:31 I'm sorry. You should just say no to that. This is our culture. However, if you're like, May 1st is satanic celebration day, and we put a display in the Capitol on May 1st. I'm like, okay there's fine i'm not fine with that but if that would be one no that would be one thing but to say we want we it's an attack on christianity to say we want to put the devil in right next to jesus um in a little manger
Starting point is 01:00:00 and for what happens to a people that will allow that evil into their society, that will allow that into their state capitals or into their courtrooms, onto their platforms with movies that celebrate the devil and demonize God. What does it say about your society and your culture and how far you have fallen? And how do you come back from that? Again, you have to be a just, good, And how do you come back from that? Again, you have to be a just, good, wholesome people, I think, to survive together. This rot, this celebration of, that'll give you drugs, that'll give you pornography, that'll give you prostitution. We already have all that.
Starting point is 01:00:37 That'll give you crime. In Iowa, in the state capitol, that's a display that represents the whole country, what's happening. Because evil has taken over all these places I think at the root of this Sean is a timidity that Christians have had and an un... Well now Michael Cassidy from Mississippi No, not him, no
Starting point is 01:00:57 the guy with the sword is a hero and you know if he goes to jail for this for this quote unquote... By by the way he's raised like eighty four thousand dollars on give send go which i thought he'd raise more than that his defense um i encourage everyone to go to give send go but here's what i'm saying the reason we're in this spot sean is we have had a timidity as christians to talk about about the Christian roots of this country, which are historically obvious.
Starting point is 01:01:30 And in school, when you go to a public school, if you're even lucky enough to learn about the founding fathers, they have removed all the Christian sort of underpinnings of what they were doing. Because there certainly were lots of that uh yes they got a lot from the romans and the greeks in terms of their ideas and we should have we should say those too our kids i mean our kids are learning that because they go to classical school but kids in public school learn nothing except that those founding fathers are a bunch of racists who had slaves that's all they're learning And they're not learning about the Greeks.
Starting point is 01:02:06 They're not learning about the Romans, all of which is a foundation of Western civilization. They're not learning about the Christian roots of this experiment that we call the United States of America. And they're not understanding that our founding fathers said this kind of freedom and democracy, this republic could not survive without Judeo-Christian morals, because that freedom doesn't work unless you have that kind of moral deterrence from hurting other
Starting point is 01:02:33 people. And so this is, it's the same with capitalism. Capitalism without morality doesn't work. You just get grief. And so I think all of this is we have got to not just vote out these Marxist, atheist, secularists who hate our country, but we have to also offer something else up. in terms of the defense of Western civilization, the defense of Christianity, and a recommitment to the Christian roots of this country and to really embracing it and celebrating it and telling those people who want to put devil heads inside of our state capitals just because we want to put up a manger. Go to hell. Literally. Literally. Okay. One other point I want to bring up.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Thank you. You're welcome. That's why I voted for you. Elections matter. Okay. One other point I want to bring up. Thank you. You're welcome. That's why I voted for you. Elections matter. Yeah. Elections matter. So I used to be a prosecutor. And the discretion that a prosecutor has is immense.
Starting point is 01:03:36 And that's why we see George Soros funding DA races to get liberals in that won't prosecute crimes. Right. That's what he's doing. And they have the discretion what to charge and how to charge. And so if we go to Polk County, Iowa, and in this DA's office, they had discretion. How do I charge Michael Cassidy from Mississippi? What is the appropriate charge for destroying this satanic temple display? I could say, why don't we give them a city ordinance for disorderly conduct, have them pay a fine of $100, which, by the way, that's what I would have done that, if that even. I would have given him the keys to the city. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:04:24 You could charge them with just a simple disorderly conduct. Yeah, you could just leave that way. Easy. But they started off with fourth-degree criminal mischief. It's a misdemeanor. And then they, on second thought, said, you know what? We're going to throw the flipping book at this guy, and we're going to charge him with a felony. The prosecutor has a discretion, and for destroying the devil, you get a felony. What is wrong with this prosecutor
Starting point is 01:04:46 and what's wrong with this community that would say we want a prosecutor that's going to um throw the book at a guy who destroys a a display that all of us agree should not be at the capitol it says a lot about the county which is i, I imagine... I hope they vote him out. Whoever that prosecutor is, I hope they vote that prosecutor out. That's the only response. And the person who runs against that prosecutor in that town should run on this issue. And it brings me to the point... Get the devil-worshiping prosecutor out. You don't know when.
Starting point is 01:05:22 You don't know where. You need good people in office. You might not have thought that this issue would have ever come up in Polk County, Iowa. No. But it did. And you would have hoped that you would have had elected a better prosecutor, a better DA in that county. You don't know when an issue is going to come up on your school board or your city council or your county board, which is why it's so important for us to truly pay attention to the smallest thing. I care about the presidential election. I want Joe Biden gone.
Starting point is 01:05:55 But I have to pay just as much attention to what happens in my community. Sean, you've said it before. You've said nothing affects your life on a day-to-day basis more than your prosecutor election 100 because they make the decisions um with wide very few people have as much discretion as a prosecutor people know who their da is which is why you want really good people in there to have good sound judgment to make the right decisions because again sometimes people make mistakes. I had kids that I'm like, they did. People came to your office. Yeah. And they'd commit crimes.
Starting point is 01:06:31 And I'm like, I could ruin this kid's life. He made a mistake. Or I could try to find an avenue to go, listen, I'm going to give him a chance. I'm going to give him a shot. I'm not going to throw the book at him. And there's some people who came by on round 10, they come through 10, 12 different times. And the whole family has been in the office. 10. They come through 10, 12 different times. And the whole family has been in the office. I'm like, you know, you're not going to get as much discretion from me. But you want prosecutors to think like that, which is why they have discretion, which is why George Soros decided to take that discretion and flip it on its head by getting prosecutors in these offices that won't enforce the law. And then here, and here we have a prosecutor who is going to enforce the law against the guy who destroys the devil. Shameful. Just so you know, George Soros isn't smart enough to have thought
Starting point is 01:07:14 that through. Eric Holder gave him the idea, of course. Is that right? Yeah, absolutely. I did not know that. Eric Holder gave him the idea. Eric Holder probably was running the whole thing from underneath. Let's take this full circle back. Everything you hate about the Obamasville, the new Pottersville that we're living in, you can trace back to the Obama administration. Everything you hate that is going on right now, you can trace it back to the Obamas. that is going on right now, you can trace it back to the Obamas. The Obamas have been the single most destructive force in American politics in our lifetime. Without a question. As bad as the Clintons were, they were just grifters.
Starting point is 01:07:56 And he was a really horny guy. And she was power hungry and money hungry. And they were both money grubbers. Monica or Hillary? Hillary. Hillary. I know. Monica. Poor Monica. I i mean that's a whole other thing those people were just like run of the mill like just bad bad people next level is are the obamas and what they have done to this country the fundamental transformation um this new obamasville that we're living in.
Starting point is 01:08:26 We need to bring it back. We need to bring back Bedford Falls. We need to bring back Bedford Falls. And the first step is are the local elections that you're talking about, Sean, your member of Congress, which is important. And the most important, at least in the next few months is going to be the presidential election and as you said we're going to come out in massive numbers to overcome the cheating, the censorship, the coordination with big tech and the government and everything and the intelligence agencies and the deep state
Starting point is 01:08:56 and everything else they're throwing trying to imprison Donald Trump, everything they're doing is unbelievable this is all election interference. And so it's going to take a massive wave to overcome that. So another way to say, let's bring us back to Bedford Falls is let's also make America great again. Same thing. You see there's a different phraseology.
Starting point is 01:09:19 I know, I just love that movie so much. It makes me want to watch it. Maybe we will. All right. Listen, what a wide-ranging set of issues we were able to chat with and about today. After all of this, I feel like I need to watch The Hangover. Exactly. Not It's a Wonderful Life. I'm like... By the way, I'm basically going to make another analogy to It's a Wonderful Life, but I will not. What?
