From the Kitchen Table: The Duffys - Q&A With the Duffys: How Big Government Is Taking Our Rights (And Our Data)

Episode Date: April 13, 2024

The US government was built upon giving Americans freedom, privacy, and the right to defend oneself -- however, in 2024, it feels there's been an eerie shift. In today's Q&A, the Duffy's discuss their thoughts on the House passing a two-year authorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, why young adults are losing their faith in President Biden (and are going to social media to rant about it), and how a Chinese immigrant who survived communism put David Hogg in his place on gun control.

Hey everybody, 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 Rachel. Sean, it's great to be back. It's Friday, it's Q&A. We got some questions on hot topics today. A lot of people are really excited about this exchange between David Hogg and a Chinese immigrant.

And it's remarkable. We can't wait to show you this because David Hogg has finally met his match in reality on the gun issue. This woman really put him in his place. We're going to get to that. We're also going to talk about Democrats who are really concerned about the youth vote, all the desperate measures they're taking, and what the Republicans can and should do now that they have this opening with young people because they're so disillusioned with Democrats. But before those topics, we're going to talk about FISA, Sean. You said this was the most important topic to you this week. It has you burning on fire. So Representative Warren Davidson from Ohio, he sits on the House Judiciary Committee.

He has been pushing to incorporate what he calls the Fourth Amendment is Not for Sale Act into some broader legislation to reauthorize Section 702, which is, of course, as you know, a very powerful government spy tool. Davidson's bill would force the federal agencies to obtain a court order in order to purchase commercially owned data of U.S. citizens, like their online information, their online data. Seems pretty reasonable to me, Sean. Listen, this is so reasonable, right? This is just basic protection. So our intelligence community wants to be able to collect all this information on all of these Americans, and we haven't done anything wrong. There's no probable cause to believe that we've committed a crime, but they're still gathering tons of metadata on all of us. And the question is, why? What's the purpose?

And if they do want it, Davidson's bill would make them get a warrant. And we have Republicans fighting to guarantee that our intelligence community doesn't have to get a warrant. So first of all, I have two questions based on what you said. I want to get to what Republicans are voting to make sure that our government can spy on us and turn us into a police state. I want to talk about that, and I want to talk about the results of this bill, like what happened, because it's actually, it's quite shocking what Speaker Johnson has done. I think it's quite a betrayal. But first, let's talk about this FISA provision that was,

I guess, Representative Warren Davidson. He's from Ohio. He sits on the House Judiciary Committee. He pushed to incorporate what he is calling, this is the name of the bill, the Fourth Amendment is Not for Sale Act. He wanted to put that into broader legislation to reauthorize Section 702, which is a powerful government spy tool. Now, Davison's bill would force federal agencies. It says you have to get a court order if you want to buy commercially owned data. So all the data that we give to Facebook and Instagram, you have to get a warrant if you want to use that data and spy on Americans. But this this this obviously this online activity now is up for grabs. So the government can take it. Yeah. So there's there's a lot of a lot of metadata out there on every single American.

out there on every single American. And you would think that the federal government should have to get a warrant to collect data, information, where Americans travel, what they search, what they buy, tons of information about who we are. The Davidson provision would have prohibited the government from taking that information unless they got a warrant, which means they have probable cause to believe a crime was committed. Instead, this this warrants and bill failed. So now the federal government can collect all this information on us. So every piece of information they can buy online publicly, they can now get.

And it failed in a dramatic way, Sean. It did. So it failed with the that was tied. And the tiebreaker was the speaker was Speaker Johnson. And a lot of people online, Sean, are saying, you know, a this is police state stuff. The government should never be allowed to do this. And everybody who voted out George Santos, who would have voted for this provision, is also responsible because then we had to rely on Mike Johnson, who appears to be a swamp creature. Isn't he, Sean? Mike Johnson? Yeah. Listen, I mean, I mean, who would do this? The FBI has been spying, not just on any Americans. They have been targeting conservatives. So let me give you the flip side. Why would Mike Johnson...

It's a really good question. So the intelligence community has come and said, listen, Congress, it's a dangerous time. They do that all the time. We need these tools. ISIS-K is out there. There's terrorists afoot. tools ISIS-K is out there. There's terrorists afoot. And we need to be able to track them, not just on foreign lands, but those who are in this country. We need this tool. It's really important. And you're going to cripple us if you limit this access to online, it's usually online

data, but travel data, metadata. you can't limit our access to it. Otherwise, you're going to inhibit our ability to get the bad guys. Sean, do you think that it's a coincidence that just this past week, Christopher Wray has been on the Hill saying there's going to be a coordinated attack, like the attack that we saw in Moscow and in Russia with ISIS-K. There's going to be this coordinated attack. And so it's one of two things. Either there really is going to be a coordinated attack. And by the way, we have caught, even just very recently, another known terrorist, the number of known terrorists who have been caught from the southern border has exploded. We're breaking every record every month of known terrorists that we're catching.

That doesn't count the gotaways of which there are terrorists among that group, and we have no idea who they are. So we know there's terrorists coming over. We know that the Middle East is in flame right now. We know Iran is saying that they want to attack Israel. We're supporting Israel. That makes us vulnerable. And now Christopher Wray comes out and says we're anticipating a coordinated attack. And you Republicans, you, Speaker Johnson, better give us this authority to spy on Americans.

Is it that that's really happening? better give us this authority to spy on Americans. Is it that that's really happening? And so Speaker Johnson's afraid that if he doesn't sign this and something happens, the Republicans will get blamed. And so he's looking at this politically. Or is this all like it's not really true? There's no coordinated attack that they're afraid of right now. But they're just saying that to scare everybody.

So they signed this FISA thing. I don't know. I don't have the intel. Do you get what I'm trying to say here? I do understand what you're saying. And here's how I analyze this very simply. Credibility matters. Credibility of intelligence matters. The credibility of Christopher Wray matters. And so if you care about national security, don't tell me that you need this new provision to spy on Americans because you care about our security and safety. I want you first to talk about, to your point, Rachel, the southern border. How many people are coming into the southern border? I want you to actually go after Joe Biden and Democrats to say, listen, this is a national security risk.

We're letting people in the country that we have no idea who they are, and we know some of them are terrorists, they want to do us harm. If you're on the forefront of having that conversation, then you come to me and go, I also need this tool as well to keep you safe. You might have credibility with me. But when you won't talk about the border, which to your point, Rachel, is a huge risk, but you want me to give up some of my protection, some of my freedom, some of my ability to have some distance between me and my government, I don't trust you.

And then on top of that, when these are the same people that when we talk about risk to the country and they'll talk about terrorism and ISIS-K, they're the same ones who will say, if you go to a school board meeting to voice your opinion in opposition to people who are trans, showering with the opposite sex, if you voice your opinion, you could be a domestic extremist. If you're a Catholic, a traditional Catholic, you could be a domestic extremist. If you're a pro-lifer, you could be a domestic extremist. And then you want to come to me, though, and say, you know what, I really need this tool, and you should trust me, believe me that there's a real threat out there, and I need this tool to fix it.

When I've abused your trust, when I've abused the power that's been given to us to go after American citizens, I go, you know what? You got to pull their chain, the choke chain, pull it and pull them back. But for Republicans to be abused again, because pro-lifers, traditional Catholics, probably those that are pushing back on trans rights and J-6ers, most of them are probably Republicans. And they're the targets of these tools. And Republicans are the ones that are going to help reauthorize it. I can't believe it. I saw a video footage of Mike Johnson. He was walking through the halls of Congress.

Somebody asked him about this. This was before the vote. And he said, well, they pulled me into a meeting. And, you know, they scared the hell out of me. Yeah. And everyone needs to get on these meetings like they can say whatever they want from, you know, the intelligence community. I don't believe the intelligence. You got the Patriot Act because they scared the pants off. Yeah. Yeah. And you give up your rights. And so and I can't.

Yeah. I mean, these are the same people that are going after Mike Johnson's voters. We'll be right back with much more after this. really want to ask you, Sean, is, and I want you to be really honest with me, what happens to people when they become Speaker of the House? Do they get like, obviously it sounds like they get intelligence shared with them that's scary. Probably some of it is scary. Probably some of it's meant to scare them into doing whatever the intelligence community wants them to do. them into doing whatever the intelligence community wants them to do. Is it that they kind of feel a little impressed with themselves now because they are privy to this information, that they're in on the big boy meetings that are had in the, you know, the most secret parts of government?

What is what happens, honestly? Because it just makes no sense. It seems like they go from normal members to swampy creatures as soon as they get into the speakership. So what happens is you have to govern. And when you're a single member of Congress, you can actually just do what you think is right. But when you have to get things done, there's a different kind of pressure. And sometimes those who get into the position of speaker, they lose their principle.

They lose their way. And it's okay to be the speaker and try to get things done, but also be a conservative. Nancy Pelosi wasn't concerned about being too liberal a speaker. Why are Republican speakers concerned about being too conservative a speaker, why are Republican speakers concerned about being too conservative? And they are. And that's a problem. We're turning into a police

state, Sean. It really worries me. We are a police state, actually. Here's a better question on this topic of the FISA reauthorization. And again, the only reason we are in opposition to FISA reauthorization and want reforms is not because we're crazy. It's because our intelligence community violated our trust. They abused the power that we gave them. And frankly, they could come to us and go, you know what? The whole Fourth Amendment is a problem for us. We want access to everybody's homes and computers and phones. The Fourth Amendment, by the way, protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. That's right.

So I'm sure that the Fourth Amendment is a burdensome for them, that they need warrants and probable cause to spy on Americans. I'm sure that to spy on all of us without a warrant, without probable cause. Remember, these are the same people that say, Sean, that the Constitution is a living, breathing document. That's right. God help us. It can change. So this is very scary stuff. It is. Very disappointing. You know, I still think that, you know, democracy hinged on the queen. When I say the queen, I mean George Santos, of course. George Santos could have saved the republic. George Santos could have saved the republic, but that is not, that did not happen. One, back on FISA and George Santos could have saved the republic. This is, there's going to

be a five-year reauthorization. It's only going to be two now. So if Donald Trump is in the White House, there can be a hard look at the abuses and real reforms that protect the American people. Let's hope that happens. But we have to get there first. In the meantime, the police state, the intelligence community is trying to lock up our candidate and lock up his greatest and most vocal supporters. And that is a huge problem. We are in big, big trouble in this country. Let's talk about another right that wants to be taken away from us. And of course, that is our second amendment, the right to bear arms. And probably the most, I guess, celebrated voice, at least for, you know, Gen Z has been David Hogg.

So there was a school shooting at his high school and immediately all the, you know, NGOs and the forces and the celebrity all surrounded, you know, this issue because that's what they do. They immediately want to politicize it and create more pressure to get rid of the Second Amendment. And the student who sort of rose to the top of this pile of voices was a very articulate young man named David Hogg, very sure of himself. And he eventually got into Harvard, and he's continued to beat the drum that we need to get rid of the Second Amendment, or at least heavily curtail it, in order to beat the drum that we need to get rid of the Second Amendment or at least heavily curtail it in order to stop the kind of shootings that he and his friends had to, you know, deal with in this horrible shooting in Florida when he was in high school.

I guess he was at an event where, you know, he does a lot of events now. He's kind of a celebrity, political celebrity of sorts on the left. And a Chinese immigrant woman stood up and asked him this. It's incredible. Watch. I'm a Chinese immigrant who survived communism. And under Mao, you know, 40 million people were starving to death after he sold communism to them, and 20 million people died, murdered during his cultural revolution. So my question to you, David, is that can you guarantee me, a gun owner tonight, our government in the U.S., in D.C., will never, never become a tyrannical government? Can you guarantee that to me? There's no way I can ever guarantee that any government will not be tyrannical government. Can you guarantee that to me?

There's no way I can ever guarantee that any government will not be tyrannical. Well then the debate on gun control is over because I will never give up my guns. Never, never. And you should go to China to see how gun control works for dictatorship of CCP. That was incredible, Sean. That's a checkmate situation there. And again, you're right, because it comes down to very simple rights and why we have them. We don't have the Second Amendment

so you can go hunting. That's not why we have the right. Or shooting your backyard at some target. That's not why we have, you're right, it's not some target. That's not why you have, that's, you're right. It's not it. And even, you know, home protection, it's important, but that was not the reason behind the Second Amendment. Our founders were concerned about tyrannical governments and the balance between government

and the people. And the Second Amendment was a guarantee that the people would always have a right to rise up against our government. And I'm not calling for guarantee that the people would always have a right to rise up against our government. And I'm not calling for an uprising, not calling for a revolution. I'm talking about why we have the right. It keeps them in check. It keeps them in check. Because right now it feels like the whole system, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, all this was set up for us to keep the government in check. And right now, as you can see from the last topic that we had on FISA, they're trying to keep us in check. Right. And so when you look at tyrannical governments,

the first thing they do is take away your right to fight back, which is taking away your right to bear arms. And so with you in China, remember Tiananmen Square, the Chinese had no weapons. They had to stand in front of tanks and give up their lives, or they used stones and sticks. Cuba was the same way. Venezuela, the same way. The old Soviet Union, the same thing. They take away your weapons so that you can fight back. Take away your weapons. And those who support a massive, really powerful government are also the ones that want to take away our ability to push back against a government should it go too far. It's interesting. You know, Sean, do you ever seen those turnstiles like when you're going like into the subway?

You see those turnstiles, right? Have you ever seen the ones that are like much more elaborate? It's not just like at your waist where you could do the turnstile. It's actually like almost like a cage and you have the turnstile to get out. No, I haven't seen that. Well, I've seen it and it's online. And the place I saw it was in China. So there's some footage that I saw online of it coming out. It's like a line of like almost like a cage like turnstiles. And this is for you to leave and come into your own neighborhoods. That is how tyrannical. And of course, they use COVID in China as an excuse to put this into overdrive.

And the point that I think this Chinese woman is talking about is that the Chinese government now, because of data and the things that you're talking about, you were talking about with FISA, why you think it's our number one story, this new authorization that they have to take our data. But you add COVID and you add all the, you know, what happened in January 6, how they, you know, criminalized protest in that way. We are moving in the direction of China and we only have to look to China. I mean, imagine how you can control a population that has no guns and now they've put up these. You can't come in and out of your your neighborhood without passing through a government style, you know, checkpoint. neighborhood, without passing through a government-style checkpoint. And these are the things, I mean, this is what they're looking at moving towards in our government. And it's very

concerning. A lot of Democrats and liberals put faith and trust in government more so than Republicans and conservatives. And we conservatives want to have this check and balance in place. conservatives and we conservatives want to have this check-in balance in place. There's a real difference on the left, on the Democrat Party. I do think there is the Bill Gates and the Soroses that see this. Those who go to the WEF, the World Economic Forum, they see the opportunity of government and world leaders to take over and take away the freedom of so many people in the world. Concentrate it in themselves. Concentrate the power for themselves. True. And I think there's a lot of good, even liberal Democrats who I disagree with on a lot of things, who are okay with giving more power to government, but they wouldn't be okay with this. And what

they're doing, though, is empowering the government, all the while taking away a lot of our rights, whether it's speech or guns. And they're going to wake up one day and realize that they can't now fight back. They can't push back. They're saying they're OK. They are they are emotionally drawn to this issue because obviously we all get really sad when we see these school shootings or ball shootings. And so they want to do something and they say it's the guns and they want to take the guns away. And you're saying they haven't thought through to the next phase of what our government can and probably will do to us. That's right. They haven't thought that through. can and probably will do to us. That's right. They haven't thought that through, which is why throughout much of our history, we had fight about a lot of things. How much should we spend? How much should we tax? But these principles of speech and guns, and we all agreed to them.

The checks and balances of our government, the Congress, the executive and the judiciary, we all agreed on these basic principles. And now there's been this divide because I think some Democrats see it as a political tool to take away guns or to take away speech, but they don't understand the kind of world they're going to live in should they be successful at taking them away. I do believe that the people who are pushing these policies understand full well what they want to do. They want to concentrate control in the government, in the technocrat, the bureaucrats, and the liberal elites.

They think the world will be a better place if we can do that. With them in charge. With them in charge. They understand, Sean, they're very well aware that a lot of the government control that they want a lot of the control they want the government to have is being um mitigated by the fact there's certain things they can't do because millions and millions of americans own guns And as that Chinese woman said, I love, you know, when we're doing Fox and Friends,

it's almost like a running joke. I love having Chinese, Cuban, anyone who's lived under communist rule, I love having them on the show because they know what it's like. They get it. They get it. I grew up with a mother who experienced, you know, the effects of communism on her life and her family's life. And that kind of firsthand knowledge is really hard

when you live in America to think that, you know, you can lose this freedom in a generation. But we know that that's exactly how it happens. It happens very slowly and it happens quick. And we have been on this road of losing our freedom, of concentrating control in government and, and, and in indoctrinating kids and miseducating kids. So they don't even know what their rights are. And I think we're on a very dangerous road. I thought this was a really incredible exchange. he just wrote, I thought this was a really incredible exchange. And I wonder, Sean, if David Hogg himself had, you know, took some time to reflect on that because he's young and this woman has some wisdom and experience that he certainly does not have. She understands. The answer? No. David Hogg is making way too much money out there.

Being that guy. Being that guy. That's right. So no, he's not going to rethink his policies on guns. Maybe this little clip has gone pretty viral, so maybe other people are going to be impacted by it. This week, Sean, Joe Biden announced that he was going to offer more free money in the form of loan forgiveness for young people. He's also going to speak at one of Al Sharpton's events, more racial grievance stuff that he's doing with Al Sharpton. These are all signs the Democrats are in trouble. You have Doug Schoen, who just wrote an article, an op-ed yesterday on FoxNews.com, talking about how the lives of young people is cratering for them, for the Democrats. With the young vote, there's no enthusiasm. And it's two things with the youth vote, Sean. It is both that they can't launch. The economy is so much worse than what their parents, grandparents

experience. They feel like they're trapped, sort of just trying to make ends meet each month. Housing has gotten incredibly expensive. A lot of these boomers have sold their houses and made a ton of money selling them and they sold them to equity, private equity firms that are now just renting. So this new generation is turning into a rental generation. And then on top of all the economic insecurity that they're feeling, they're on TikTok.

And they're souring on Joe Biden because they're getting really influenced by the images that they're seeing of Gaza and the Palestinians and this war in Israel that we are supporting on the side of the Israelis through our government and through weapons purchases. And they feel that Joe Biden is responsible for the deaths in Gaza. And so now Joe Biden is bleeding the youth vote. And so when Joe Biden is bleeding the youth vote, you have to get your friends and allies to step in and help. And that's why Mark Zuckerberg has come in and said, oh, in this election cycle, we don't think political conversations on our platform, whether it's Instagram or Facebook, we should have them. Because what they're seeing is that a lot of the conversations are against Joe Biden. They don't want information shared that's negative about Joe. So they're just shutting it down.

share this negative about Joe. So they're just shutting it down. If it was anti-Trump. So if you're on Facebook or Instagram, and you will see conservative political commentary, it's collapsed. I mean, Sean, we've seen it on our own pages. We used to have tens of thousands of views. We have now sometimes zero views on Facebook.

600, 500 views. I mean, it is just collapsed. And that is because of him, but Tik TOK, which they were very keen to want to, um, get rid of, guess why? Uh, a lot of the information is coming through Tik TOK and then there's also Twitter as well. So I get, I, I, it's, it's really hard to change policies quickly. But again, if Joe Biden had better advisors, I mean, he's brought in like Bernie Sanders left wing crazies into his administration, into the White House. And they're the ones are advising him. If you had some good common sense people that were Democrats, they could help him craft different policies that could actually bring down inflation. And he would say, you know, Joe, you're driving inflation by actually the student loan bailout program. Did Larry Summers tell him, like, the inflation is going to go up? This was a Democrat finance guy who said this is, you know, what he told him last year or the year before.

What you're doing is going to destroy the economy. told them last year or the year before, what you're doing is going to destroy the economy. When it was the massive $1.2 trillion inflation, it was the COVID relief bill. That was unnecessary. The COVID was over. He passed that. And then he did inflation reduction, which was the Green New Deal. We did an infrastructure bill. There's all these bills that he did. And Larry Summers Warren said, listen, you're going to have inflation. And that's exactly what we saw. We'll have more of this conversation after this. There's also something else interesting coming out, Rachel. There's a new study that talked to

a perceived most liberal group of voters in the country. Who are they? They are single young women. Right. And the life of Julia girls. Yes. But this this poll said actually a lot of these girls are not as liberal as they would seem. Really? And they have a lot of a lot more conservative viewpoints than they would let on. And they don't let them on because they're concerned about being canceled, being shunned. They don't want to get in a fight or an argument. So they keep their views to themselves.

And again, or they were concerned about getting a lower grade. So they silence their views. Yeah, but if you want a good grade. So they silenced their views. They're compliant. Yeah, but if you want a good grade, you just say liberal stuff. Right. So they're saying they're – Oh, they're saying liberal stuff, but they – But they have more conservative views than they would let on.

Right. So I thought that was interesting. I don't think the Republicans should count on single women saving them. But single women are not going to save them. That was not my advice by the way but there are but you're right about something so first of all i was talking to our daughter and she was our daughter and she is on tiktok and she's for months she's been saying mom joe biden is getting killed on tiktok like all these videos are coming out and they're attacking Joe Biden. And they're saying how mad they are.

And they're blaming him for why they can't buy a house and why the economy is so bad and why their student loan bills are so high. And they're blaming Joe Biden for everything. And she said to me yesterday when we were talking about all this stuff, she said, if I was the Republicans, I know they want to get rid of TikTok because of the Chinese. I wouldn't do it before the election. TikTok is killing Joe Biden.

Yeah, so just wait. Just wait. The Chinese are a threat, but not as big of a threat to America as Joe Biden is. So leave TikTok on because Joe Biden, because TikTok is hurting Joe Biden. Because it was interesting. Was it James Carville that, or they said it's the economy stupid?

Yeah, that was James Carville. Back in the 90s. And that brilliant statement, it's the economy stupid, has been called into question because in even 2022, it was like, it's the economy stupid. And the economy was cratering under Joe Biden. Inflation was rising. And's the economy, stupid. And the economy was cratering under Joe Biden. Inflation was rising. And they still won the red turn.

And Republicans were supposed to have a massive red wave and they had a little red trickle. Right. And there was the issue of abortion had come into play because Roe v. Wade had just been overturned. And it's interesting as we look now, a lot of people are turning away from Joe Biden because they're coming back to that simple phrase of it's the economy, stupid. Young people are turning. Yes, Joe's great on, you know, the environment, the green movement, free student loan bailouts. But they're leaving him because the economy isn't good for them. Minorities leaving him because the economy isn't good for them. Minorities leaving him because the economy isn't good for them. Suburban women leaving Joe Biden and Democrats because the economy isn't good for them. I was in the cab last night.

I went and saw my nephew play hockey in New York. And I had a Pakistani cab driver. And we got to talking and he was going back and forth. It's interesting how many cab drivers will talk to you about politics. Oh, God, it's the best way to it's the absolute best way to get a pulse on where people are at. And we were talking and he's like, I'm a Democrat. I live in New York. I'm a Democrat. But Joe Biden, I don't know. He was talking about inflation. Prices keep going up and the economy is not better. We're not making more money, but prices keep going up. And I've got kids.

Inflation is up 20%, Sean, on all the things that normal people buy. They try and add all this other stuff in to bring the number down. But if you look at the actual things that people buy, those numbers are up 20%. He was a Pakistani immigrant. And he said, Trump is strong. And he said, I like that he puts America first. He actually used America first. America first.

I like that he does that. I'm like, you know what? I think most good Americans are like, you know what? If this is my country, I do want my president to put me first. Anyway, I thought that's emblematic. I had a similar experience. I remember being in a cab during the first the first time that the campaign in 2016'm voting for Donald Trump. I will never forgive Hillary for what she did to Libya. And I was like, wow, they lost, they're losing the Muslim vote, which is true. I mean, she destroyed that country. And she's vicious and she's a warmonger.

And so it's interesting. And by the way, Democrats are suffering with the Muslim vote right now, which is why Joe Biden is making a lot of moves that are angering other parts of his coalition. So, you know, the migrant vote's important. The Hispanic minority vote is important. And Democrats had this brilliant plan. They're like, listen, if we call Donald Trump a racist and he hates Hispanics and we say that we love Hispanics and we open up the border and let more people in from Central and South America, those Americans who are here that can vote, they're going to love us even more. Those Americans who are here that can vote, they're going to love us even more.

And something remarkable happened that Joe Biden, because he did that, his numbers with Hispanics tanked and Donald Trump's numbers went through the roof with Hispanics. I don't know if you saw this. They're not called Hispanics anymore, Sean. What are they? What are you? So they did Latinx and then like latinos were like what this is so dumb so now they've come up with a new name it's called latin latine latine latine or something it's it's not working it's had the same effect as latin so i don't know if you saw this but uh joe biden uh i'm sorry yeah joe biden went on Univision. Univision? Univision. Univision. And he had a softball interview. But during the interview on this Spanish language television,

he basically came out and said he's considering new rules at the border that make it harder to apply for asylum. Why did he go on Spanish television and make that statement? It's because Hispanics are angry, just like every other single American are angry about an open southern border. It's their security, their safety, their jobs that are being impacted because they're Americans. So that's what Joe Biden did. So it's Hispanics, it's African-Americans, it's Muslims, it's the young people. It's like this could be this coalition. He can't afford to lose any equity that's already solidly in that coalition. And he's bleeding on these numbers.

By the way, Sean, I'm so glad you brought up that it doesn't matter what color you are. The open border is an absolute war. It's a declaration of war on the working class. Yes. It turns down their wages. I remember they were celebrating Cesar Chavez Day the other day, a couple of weeks ago. And it's like, Cesar Chavez, he was the one, he had a project called Operation Wetback. That's what he called them. He was so angry at people coming across the Rio Grande and stealing jobs from Mexican-Americans that he actually sent his union groups, his agricultural union groups, they went down to the border to scare away those who were coming over illegally because they were so mad, Cesar Chavez and his followers,

were so mad that the Border Patrol wasn't doing more to keep them out. So, yeah, I mean, I don't know why they thought this was a good idea. I think they're just importing new voters because Hispanics aren't behaving. Hispanic Americans aren't behaving the way they like electorally. And so they're like, we'll just erase you and bring in new people who are loyal to us. So this, this, this, we're far away from the election, but this has the makings of the 1984 Reagan-Mondale race, where Reagan won every single state but Minnesota. God help Minnesota, poor things. Because Walter Mondale was from Minnesota.

This has the markings of a landslide election because Joe Biden's policies, radical liberal policies are so bad. And by the way, you need that kind of landslide to get Democrats to recalibrate their messaging and their ideas to understand that Americans don't want them. That's what we need. I would say, Sean, and we'll end it on this. I think you need a landslide, not because it'll cause the Democrats to sort of moderate their liberal, crazy, wacky, wokey stuff and come towards the middle. You actually need the landslide because of what Donald Trump says, which is it has to be too big to break. And that is probably where I land most.
