Hey everyone, welcome to From the Kip to the Table.
I'm Sean Duffy along with my co-host for the podcast, my partner in life and my wife, Rachel Campos Duffy.
It's so great to be here today, Sean.
And we're going to do something kind of different because the news is like all about Trump.
Everything, you know, 24-7, Trump, Trump, Trump.
But there's a lot of news stories, five in particular, that I think are
super important that nobody's talking about it. So let's get to it. Okay. I think the first thing
is that sadly, the situation in Nashville, the shooting and the fact that Christians were
targeted has been totally wiped out of the headlines. In fact, it never really was discussed in that way. So you have six Christians at a Christian school who were targeted.
You know, there's a manifesto that the killer wrote that for some reason has not yet been released when at this time period, other manifestos and other shootings had already been released or holding onto it. I think because of this new cycle with Trump, they don't want that narrative that I think we all know we're going to find out that the
Christians were actually targeted to be confirmed. So let's talk about the victims. The victims are
three nine-year-olds, Haley Scruggs, Evelyn Dykhouse, William Kinney, again, nine years old,
innocent, gunned down in cold blood by this trans, I think, domestic terrorist, frankly.
The adults were Mike Hill, Catherine Kuntz, and Cynthia Peake. All of them were in their 60s.
And not only has there been no corporate, I mean, have you guys heard of a corporate campaign
to be in solidarity with Christians? You know, when everyone's a Ukrainian, when there's a
Ukraine war, and we're all putting flags up on social media and, you know, Black Lives Matter, there
was so much social pressure to black out your social media profile to show that you were in
solidarity with Black Lives Matter. No one in solidarity with Christians who were targeted
in this killing, frankly. And so that's been interesting.
But not just has the corporations
not been doing their part
to show solidarity, Sean.
We now see there are fundraisers
to raise money for the trans community.
They are now being considered
the victims in this.
Madonna having a benefit concert
to benefit the trans community,
not the school, not the
victims. I think you make a good point. So when you've had school shootings, what you've seen is
the shooter gets demonized in the media, how sick they are. Are they a Republican? Are they a MAGA
supporter? Are they a white supremacist? All kinds of narratives come out about the shooter.
But in this case, it's a very different narrative.
They're not celebrating and talking about the lives that were taken.
Again, three nine-year-olds, three people from the community that were in their 60s.
They're not talking about that.
And they're not demonizing the shooter because the shooter was from a protected class.
Right.
They were transgender.
And that might undermine the media's propping up of the
transgender community. So they go, listen, we want to maybe muddy the water. We want to celebrate
the trans community and maybe say it wasn't the trans shooters fault. It was the white
supremacist fault. It was the Republicans fault that have driven the anti-trans community or
whatever they want to say is happening.
This isn't just the media, Sean. This is happening at the White House.
I mean, you saw the White House response. I mean, they want they.
What did Joe Biden say? He said the trans community is the soul of America. They said, yeah, his response to the shooting in Nashville was the trans community is the soul of America.
And I would argue that it's the churches across America, the synagogues across America.
The Christian schools like this school that are the soul of America.
The men and women who put their boots on every day that go and work and build things.
That's the soul of America.
The trans community is not the soul of America.
And so, again, this is shameful the way the media has crafted the narrative around this shooting, turning the aggressor into the victim and the White House as well.
Democrats, in addition. So we think this story deserves a lot of attention, a lot of coverage.
And it hasn't received it, which is why we want to mention it.
It's not going to happen, Sean. What needs to happen is Christians need to tell the story.
Christians are no one's going to come out. Like I said, you know, the gap, Lululemon,
no one's going to show solidarity with the Christian community right now. No corporation
cares. No. In fact, in this week where this happened with the trans community, Budweiser
put out, you know, a beer can in celebration of the trans
community. No one's going to come out in defense of the Christian community. The Christian community
rightfully feels under attack. And so I think it's important that we as Christians not let this
narrative of it not being an attack on Christians carry on. We need to make sure we keep bringing
it back to the point that Christians are under
attack, literally gunned down in their own safe space, their school. That's what happened. And
so that is an important part of the story that's been ignored. Okay, so let's move to the second
story that I think has been ignored this week. And I think, of course, on purpose, I actually think
your buddy, Jim Jordan,
Sean, is trying to investigate whether there has been coordination between the DOJ, the White House
and and Alvin Bragg in New York City, because interestingly, last week, Representative Comer
came out with documents proving the financial payouts from Chinese energy companies
to the Biden family, including Beau Biden's widow, who was, you know, having sex with
Hunter and all this crazy stuff.
All of that laid out.
And suddenly we have the Trump thing, which totally threw that off of the headlines.
Yeah, we still that's the big story.
I think we're not talking about.
We still have payments that have come in from this Chinese company, again, to a non-Biden,
and then the non-Biden individual then sent the payments out, as you mentioned, to Hunter Biden,
to Haley Biden, to Jim Biden. But there's another name that got money, and it's just Biden. There's
no first name. Is it Jill, Sean? Is it Jill? Is it Joe?
It's interesting because when you make these payments to a bank, if you've ever done a wire, you actually have to put the first and last name. And so the oversight committee is diving in to find out who was that Biden, whose account does that belong to?
And I believe it just said Biden because they didn't want to know.
They don't want to disclose who the first name of that Biden actually was.
But I do think those banks are going to comply with subpoena requests that have been made from the oversight community committee, which is James Comer.
And you're right. Also, Jim Jordan is also working on it. And it's a fascinating development because this unravels the whole narrative that Joe Biden
tried to present, which is, I have no idea what my son is doing. I don't want to get involved in
his business dealings. We very well may see that Joe Biden, when he was vice president, was making
money off of his son. And when you talk about... He's the big guy, getting 10%.
When you talk about a Trump charge, where it's a bookkeeping error.
Joe Hunter Biden has all kinds of shell companies moving money around in all kind of shady ways.
You want to talk about accounting. You want to talk about money laundering.
You should be talking about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, which, by the way, is you talk about.
He's Joe Biden is compromised, potentially compromised from china russia ukraine and others um but no instead donald trump who loves america a book keeping air from
seven years ago is what they're going to charge him with and over and about 130 000 dollars that
he paid you know supposedly to this porn star and i and versus millions of dollars, because this is just one of what Representative
Comer says is 12 other deals or more that that the Bidens have that are, you know, multi
million dollar payments from these foreign countries in Ukraine, Russia, China, just
just our most, you know, our enemies and the most corrupt country in the world, Ukraine.
So this is a serious thing. But again, do you care more about $130,000 getting paid to
Stormy Daniels or millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party through this energy
company to our president and his family? Which payout matters more in your life? And again,
and his family. Which payout matters more in your life? And again, we're not talking about those payments. Last week, someone in the press actually went to Joe Biden and said, hey, what do you make
of these financial documents that Representative Comer and his committee have come out? And he
said, it's a lie. How can you say that documents that show payments to your family from a Chinese
energy company is a lie? It's not a lie.
The documents are there.
It's not even that.
Hunter Biden has said the laptop is real and is suing the John Paul Mac Isaac.
Mac Isaac.
He's suing him saying you didn't have the right to disclose the contents of my laptop.
You were entitled to the laptop and not the contents itself.
So Hunter Biden has admitted that this is real. And now Joe's like, yeah, no, it's not real. shows the contents of my laptop. You're entitled to the laptop and not the contents itself. So
Hunter Biden has admitted that this is real. And now Joe's like, yeah, no, it's not real. I mean,
maybe the Biden should get their story straight. But isn't it fortuitous that we are talking about
Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels in an accounting air and not about Joe Biden and the corruption
that goes back to me as the vice president of the United States. So don't you forget that.
The real story is Hunter Biden.
The real story is actually Joe Biden, who is now in office
and potentially, I believe, he is compromised by the Chinese.
And if you look at all of his policies,
whether it's handing over Latin America on a silver platter to the Chinese,
whether it's the way our manufacturing and our energy policy has been,
favoring the chinese all of it um really points to somebody who does not have our interests better yet to
let a chinese spy balloon do circle eights over our missile silos they're doing circle eight i
know and now they admit that they were collecting data and then they went uh down along a pipeline
um gathering data on an american pipeline that produces that provides a lot of energy to the country.
And then more circulates around missile silos. And then once it's out of the country, it's done all its intel gathering on America.
Then they shoot it down. That's compromised.
That's I mean, it's that's not just compromise, Sean. That's treasonous.
That's absolutely treasonous. Wait right there. We're
going to have more of that conversation next. As the world's population grows, so does the
need for resources like potash to support sustainable food production. This is why BHP
is building one of the world's most sustainable potash mines in Canada. Essential resources responsibly produced. This is what BHP has
committed to Canada. The future is clear. It's happening now at BHP, a future resources company.
To discover how, visit bhp.com slash better future. All right, let's move to the next story so this this story is one of my favorite stories so italy with
their new um prime minister uh georgia maloney who is i mean she's a she is a bad ass can i say that
can i say georgia maloney is a badass sean so she is she's been accused of being a far right wing
nut and here's what she said i'm not i'm not going to have the great global reset in Italy.
Yeah, she said she basically told the great global reset to go screw itself.
She did.
And so what in essence she said is we're not taking language from other countries and going to import it into Italy.
We speak Italian.
Specifically, there's a lot of English and Italian legislation.
These words.
So she's saying no more.
We're not going to look at any laws like
that. But I think it's the food stuff that's really interesting, Sean. Yeah. So what she
said is we're not going to we're not going to transition into eating bugs and manufactured
meat in a lab in Italy. We love our food. We love our pizza and our bread and our meats.
In Italy, we love our food.
We love our pizza and our bread and our meats.
And we're known for it.
We're going to maintain that Italian culture.
And if you want to bring in flour made from bugs or lab-produced meat, you can do that. But we're going to put it on a separate shelf with major warning labels that say this is bug-produced or lab-produced.
And, again, they're going to warn about the health effects of these foods and say,
we're not going to buy in to these crazy left wing ideas. And as they've called the prime minister,
a right wing nut job, right? For saying, we're not going to eat lab produced meat and lab produced
flour from bugs. She said, huh? I thought that liberals and hippies were the ones who actually liked organic, non-
GMO, non-lab-produced-
Foods that they eat.
So it's an interesting development.
But again, thank God we have one global leader who's standing up and pushing back and saying,
not in my country, right?
By the way, we've been to Italy, and I haven't been to a lot of places, but of all the places
that I've been, they have by far the best food I've ever eaten in my life I think I gained eight pounds in
seven days when I was there it was amazing but actually Sean what's interesting is a lot of
people say they eat the food and don't gain weight there you must have eaten a lot because
a lot of people say that because their food does not have all the GMOs, does not have all the sort of
synthetic stuff that gets into our soil here in the United States, that they feel better. It's
the first time they don't feel bloated. It's the first time they eat what they want and don't gain
weight. There's something about the naturalness and the organic nature of the way they're producing
their food that is making it better and actually healthier for us. Again, here's what I find fascinating.
She's standing up against the use of English language in their official documents saying we are Italians.
And in this country, we speak Italian.
And that's the primary language of our official communication and of our schools and so forth.
So there's that. But also this idea that you're not going to sneak this stuff. You're not going to sneak it into our pizza dough and not let, and we have to, you know,
read some tiny, you know, ingredient label with a magnifying glass to find out, oh, no, no, no, no.
Your insect stuff, your insect flour, your bug-based foods, your synthetic, you know,
Bill Gates food that you're creating in labs, that's going to have a separate
section. If you want that kind of food, there's a whole aisle for you, but you're not going to
sneak it into our food. We're going to maintain our culture. I think actually in our pizza,
she's outlawed bug-based flour in pizza. So again, it's okay to go, I want to maintain my culture,
right? I want us to preserve it. And by the way, the left wants to preserve all kinds of
cultures in America, maybe not the American culture, but everyone needs to be subdivided
into their, you know, cultural histories, right? But here, when Italy now starts to do it, we're
going to preserve what's great about Italy. The left loses their mind because they need every
country to buy into the Great Res reset. There's no borders.
We all, you know, we can't have, we can't have meat. We all have to grow our food in labs and be way less healthy. It's, it's, it's, it's important that we have countries
be able to determine their own destiny. What do we want to be? Who do we want to be? I don't,
I don't want the global elites
in Davos to decide what happens in America. I want American voters to decide what happens in
America. And I want Italian voters to decide what should happen. And if they want to preserve
what's great about their country, good for them. It's a little harder to do, Sean, in Europe,
because of the EU, right? In the EU, it's sort of by nature of being part of the EU, right? In the EU, it's sort of by nature being part
of the EU, you see many
of the cultures and many of the countries
afraid of
this homogenous
sort of ideas
and culture being
spread. And Italians,
I think the French to some degree,
but the Italians are now taking the lead
because she's attached massive fines, massive fines for any English words that are put into legislation, massive fines for any foods that don't properly label their stuff or grocery stores that aren't, you know, putting these non, you know, these weird foods on mix in with other foods that we know are natural. So she's actually putting
enforcement to it. She's defending her culture. She's not just defending food, Sean. She's also
been at the forefront of defending her gender, you know, the female gender and what she has been
saying about transgenderism and how it's erasing what it means to be a woman. And what's great
about us as women is our ability to procreate.
She's been defending that notion as well.
So she has just been a champion on so many levels.
It's a very Catholic culture.
Yeah, and she's defending it.
I'm not so keen with her on Ukraine.
She's very pro-Ukraine war,
but that's a Euro thing, whatever.
All the other stuff, I'm with you, Georgia Maloney.
They're pro-Ukraine and pro-America paying for it.
Yeah, that's probably true, Sean.
That's probably true.
Okay, we're going to move to our next topic, which is Build-A-Bear.
So Build-A-Bear is a St. Louis, Missouri-based company, always been very family-friendly.
The way it works with Build-A-Bear, Sean, is you go in with your child and you
get the stuffy, you had to pick out what color bear you want and the stuffing and what kind
of outfit you want your bear to have.
And you sort of customize a bear with your kid.
It's very expensive, but kids love it.
It's a super fun experience.
It's one of those, you know, it's been around for quite a while and it has sort of survived
many of these changes in our economy because you're customizing it.
You can't customize it online, but really it is one of those experiences, like American Girl,
where it's really fun to take your kid to the store and sort of have that Build-A-Bear experience like you have the American Girl experience.
Well, Build-A-Bear is kind of falling into the same trap that American Girl fell into.
Build-A-Bear is kind of falling into the same trap that American Girl fell into.
Last Christmas, American Girl started to sell these American Girl books that were promoting and celebrating transgenderism, actually telling little girls that they could transition and be another gender without telling their parents.
You just needed to tell a trusted adult.
Again, really weird stuff coming out of American Girl.
Now, Build-A-Bear has a RuPaul drag bear.
Now, let me explain, because there are some guardrails to it.
So, first of all, I like RuPaul.
I'm just going to say it.
I've always liked RuPaul.
But why RuPaul needs to be a Build-A-Bear,
why it needs to be in a kid's toy, I don't understand. It costs about $56 to $65. If you
try to buy the Build-A-Bear RuPaul version, there is sort of like a, you have to be an adult to
enter. Like you have to, there's some screen that you have to, like sort of a trigger or a warning that this is for adults.
However, the doll is advertised on the main page.
So it is still being advertised to kids.
But to actually buy it, you have to say that you're over 18.
So that's the guardrail about it.
Sean, I don't understand why St. Louis-based, family-friendly, you know, toy company would want to sort of get into this space. Like I'm
trying to understand who they think their market is. So it's an issue that I think we've been
talking about quite a bit. You have these communist camps that are also known as colleges,
and they are pumping out all these left wing radicals that then go into the workplace.
And they go work for places like Build-A-Bear.
And they're like, I know the culture is moving and reshaping,
and we have to move with it at Build-A-Bear.
And we really should be involved in the transgender community.
And it's important that we push this also on kids.
And we have to be trans-friendly.
So there's no better person that we could emulate than RuPaul for six-year-old little boys and little girls.
Let's make a bear out of RuPaul.
Bad ideas are coming from the new kids that are coming to companies across America that have been radicalized in commie camp called college.
And so you're going to see more of this.
By the way, do I think mom and dads in large part want to have a RuPaul bear for your child?
No, no, you don't.
It there might be some parents, but it's a really small sliver.
This is stupidity, but it's not about business.
It's not about money.
It's not about revenue.
It's about politics and pushing these radical ideas on the American culture.
They want us all to think this is normal.
This is accepted.
And they want to they want to normalize it,
especially with the very young, with kids.
I mean, again, I don't have a problem with drag shows.
I'm fine with drag shows.
I don't know why drag shows
or why people who love drag shows
or drag queens themselves
want to push this on children.
There should be a line, let's admit,
if you've been to a drag show,
and I've been to many,
that I would say many, but i've been to probably at least you know i don't know maybe 10 times in my life um they're kind of sexual and um there's no kind of yeah there's a sexual connotation to
them i don't understand why they insist on putting this in the faces of children, why they want to make kid-friendly drag shows,
why they want to make, you know, drag build-a-bears,
why we want to inject American...
And the only way to stop this, Sean,
is for parents to say no,
for parents to stand up, as they have with legislation
in Tennessee and other places, in Florida,
where they're saying,
you cannot have a drag show with a child. It is simply not appropriate and it's grooming and it's bad.
And with the corporations, we just have to say, no, we have to actually boycott American Girl.
We actually have to boycott Build-A-Bear. There's no other way to send that message. So if you want that sliver, as Sean talked about, of people that, you know, if that company wants that sliver of
customers, that's fine. But the rest of us need to walk away in mass numbers or else it's going
to continue. Last topic is kind of a happy topic. So I think what we're not talking about is the
good stuff that's happening.
And some of the best stuff happening in America right now is happening in classical academies, classical schools for children,
where they're learning all kinds of amazing things that so many of the public schools have left behind because those schools, Sean, are also communist camps.
So, you know, this week, my son came home
with his newsletter of what he's studying in school. So I have this first, now remember,
this is a first grader. I'm going to tell you some of the things that they're studying
this week, besides Holy Week stuff, because it is Holy Week and they're doing blessing bags and
they're, you know, doing living stations of the cross, all wonderful Catholic things we want them
to do. But check out what's happening in world history in a first grade history class.
They're studying the rise of Julius Caesar.
They're going to know they're going to be able to determine who is Julius Caesar.
What did a consul do?
What was a triumvirate?
Who was Cincinnatus?
They're also studying the Odyssey, the Iliad and the Odyssey
so they have a children's version
so that they can understand it
they're also doing
the book of Greek myths
so they're learning about Greek mythology
all of that in a classical school
where other kids are learning
I am jazz
or they're getting all these woke books
for kids with ideology and gender ideology,
and CRT pushed on them. These kids are getting a solid education. Remember, that's first grade.
Here, Sean, is our daughter's picture. It's Holy Week, so she did a picture of the Calvary,
of the cross. But let me tell you how she did this picture shot.
She's also studying Michelangelo.
And so they are studying the Sistine Chapel
and how Michelangelo changed art
and what he did in painting.
But also that with the Sistine Chapel,
he painted it on his back upside down.
He's doing the ceiling.
So this picture was,
this paper was placed at the bottom
of her desk and all the children had to get on the floor and do their picture upside down the
way Michelangelo did. These are the beautiful, wonderful things happening in classical academies
that are not happening in public schools. And Sean, what's your advice for people who have
their kids at public school? So if you can get your kid out, get them out. Listen, we had a debate. I mean,
it costs money to send a lot of kids to a Catholic school. And I got to tell you,
I was a little more against it. Rachel was more for it. I couldn't be happier that we've done it.
The education that our kids get at a Catholic school doesn't-
At a classical academy. It's not just a Catholic school. Because if we sent them to Catholic
school, we did that before. And what happened? Yeah, the Catholic school was actually
not great. You're right. And this school has been fantastic. Yeah. So I think there's a lot
of classical schools around the country. You ought to look into them. They're in your area.
If you're moving somewhere, we kind of wished that we had picked our school before we bought
our house, which would have been a better sort of sequencing of events for us. But again, this is
the kind of stuff your kids could get when they're not getting this stuff. And their classroom
curriculums are getting filled with other stuff that is just junk. This is what they're missing.
They're missing literature.
They're missing all kinds of good stuff in there.
They are happy they're there.
If you can get grandparents, aunts, uncles to help support you,
get your kid into a classical academy.
It's about saving America.
It's saving your kids, saving your family.
It's the most power you have if you're upset about what's happening in America is saving your kids, saving your family. It's the most power you have if you're
upset about what's happening in America, because I guarantee you, you send your child to a public
school. They are professionalized how they warp the mind of your young one. And you won't recognize
them when they come back from commie camp. You won't. You give so much of your life and your
time and your energy and your money to your children, there's
nothing more important than you can do to then get them out of the public school, get them into a
place that's going to share your values and rear that child in a way that you can be proud of.
Again, this was a great decision that we made. Couldn't be happier with it. And to double down
on your point, you're right. Pick your school first and then pick
where you're going to buy. Find the school and then pick a house near the school. We did that
all backwards, but that's so important. Yeah. And I love that you brought up grandparents
because sometimes grandparents feel like they don't even recognize the country anymore. And
they're like, what can I do? Well, if your adult children, you know, they may want to send their kids to a better school, a school that reflects their family's values, your family values.
But they may not be able to afford it. And maybe instead of, you know, saving money for some inheritance when you're gone, maybe invest that money now in your grandkids. And in doing so, I think you're investing in the country because
the more kids we put out in the world who share our values and are not indoctrinated in these
communist Marxist camps that we call public schools, I think the better our country will be.
It really is the only solution. That is. So those are the five stories you did not hear about
recently. We think they're important and they should be talked about
because they're things that affect our daily lives, our government, our homes, and our kids.
So we want to make sure we brought them to you because the media is not doing it for you. So
listen, if you like our podcast, you can rate, review, subscribe, wherever you get your podcasts.
We appreciate you tuning in to Rachel and Sean at our kitchen table.
You had Skippy here today as well, barking.
He usually makes an appearance.
We're sorry about that.
But it is actually at our kitchen table.
So until next time, have a great Holy Week.
Happy Easter.
And God bless.
