I'm Sean Duffy, along with my co-host for the podcast, my partner in life, and my wife,

Rachel Campos Duffy. It's Friday. We have a great show. You're advertising Fox Business on your hat. The ratings are up at Fox Business. Dagan and Duffy at 6 p.m. Eastern. It's a great show. Great topics.

You do the news, but you do a lot more culture. It's fun. Which is really fun, too. So tune in. So tune in for that. We're going to talk about an earthquake. Hold on a second. But it's Friday.

This is Q&A Friday. It is Q&A Friday. I love the questions that came in. But we're going to do one of our own questions. But you're right. It's earthquake. We'll do that. Well, we just had an emergency in our house. We're still in a little bit of shock about it. We experienced an earthquake. We're going to tell you what happened. We actually have ringtone video of what happened. And so it's crazy. We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about Shakira in the Barbie movie. That's causing a lot of consternation among the feminists. We're gonna talk about the J6 grandma who was just sentenced to a year in prison,

the American Cancer Society saying there's a tidal wave of cancers to come. Fresh and fit. You know, if you're young, you know who that is. His girlfriend secretly recorded him and he pressured her to have an abortion. We're going to talk about some deeper meanings in that. And then your buddy, Mick Mulvaney, has something to say about Joe Biden's Catholicity. So let's we're going to we're going to hit all that. But before that, Sean, we were all sitting in our library area in our in our house, having some coffee, chatting with some of the kids. And all of a sudden it felt like my first thought was a train is running into our house, having some coffee, chatting with some of the kids. And all of a sudden it felt like

my first thought was a train is running into our house. We had workers who were working in the back of our house. They're digging a trench because we have some flooding. I thought they lost control of a machine or something and something had run into our house. Then I thought maybe a gas main, Then I thought maybe a gas main, something exploded. In any case, I was frozen. You jumped up. You started opening the front door wide and yelling for the whole family to exit the house. So I think God wanted to talk to me and say, maybe you should go back to Wisconsin, Sean. No earthquakes there.

So here's what happened. There's no earthquakes here. That's what's so weird, Sean. They haven't had an earthquake like this since the 1800s. 18, like, 84. It's been 100 years, 140 years since they've had an earthquake. So we're all sitting together. The kids are home because it's spring break.

We're all talking all but one. And you're right. It was a freight train. Like, something had hit our house. And I'm proud of myself. I stood up immediately, and I went to the door door and I'm like, everybody out of the house. Everybody. I was yelling at them.

I was kind of stuck. Like your reaction plus what we were experiencing. It was interesting. I actually think this was a great test run for us as a family. After I saw the ringtone video that you pulled up, because you could see Sean outside and all the kids sort of running out, I thought, I'm going to give the Duffies a B minus, a B, B minus. I mean, you really got an A, A minus, but I think the rest of us were a little bit slower to figure out what was going on. And as you said, because we did a

post-analysis. A post-crisis. Breakdown. Yeah, we did a post-mortem on how did the Duffeys do in this crisis? What we did well, what we didn't well. We actually point out who did the worst, my teenage son. But it was a great test to go, how would we do an emergency? I think this is a great test. I'm going to give the Duffies a B plus. All right. Okay, and here's why. So I watched the video.

Yeah. So immediately, I bet within two and a half seconds, I had the door open. Yeah, you flung it open. And I walked out. And you said, get out, everybody. I was like, where's the smoke coming? Like, what hit my house? Yeah. And I walked right back in. I was yelling at everybody to get out. I was like, where's the smoke coming from? Like, what hit my house?

Yeah. And I walked right back in. I was yelling at everybody to get out. Literally. So our 17-year-old son. Can I say something really quick? I just had a memory come back to me of something I thought. I actually, now I remember, for a minute, a second, like a fleeting second,

I thought maybe a plane had crashed down. Like something, like, I just, I couldn't process what it was. Because the problem in crises is confusion. And we were confused. Yeah. Yes, honey. The last one out of the house was our son, John Paul, who was the only one that wasn't with us. He was up in his bedroom. And he didn't hear us yell at him, he says. He saw the house shake. I yell at him all the time to come down.

And it's like he doesn't listen. And he strolls down. He claims he couldn't hear. And we get. So from two and a half minutes, two and a half seconds after the quake hits, I'm outside. It took the Duffeys, even to JP to get out of the house, 30 seconds. Now everyone else was out within like probably eight seconds. Yeah. It took him longer. And then I kind of went back in yelling, JP, JP, get down here. Cause I know. And then when I saw him come

around the corner, he had one hand in his pocket and he was sort of sauntering out, which may enraged me. So I'm just going to tell you, we're not great. I know I get emotional. I'm Latina. Latinos should not be in emergency. And, um, but here's the, so the, the, the lesson is confusion is hard to deal with. Yeah. Um, and, but a lot of people die in crises because they freeze, whether your plane

is crashing or the earthquake hits and your house is crumbling or a tsunami is about to hit or a hurricane is whatever the problem, people who freeze don't do well. You have to pop into action. And because I'm a prepper, I was prepared to actually jump into action. Well, I think that you're a protector and you had to protect your family. I could tell you if you, if you were, so first of all,

I'm really thankful. I'm thankful. Nothing happened. I'm thankful that we were fine. I'm thankful. The workers who were out back, by the way, Sean went and talked to the workers right after.

And they said they saw the whole house move. All the, cause I asked them, did you guys hit something in the house? They're like, no, your house was swaying. The trees were swaying. They looked, when I saw them, when I went out to see where you were from the back, they looked frazzled. They looked a little freaked out. But what we did, once we kind of gathered everybody figured out once we were outside at some point sean pulled up twitter x um and figured out there

was an earthquake which took me a while to really process i thought maybe that that must be wrong and then there's just there was just a 2.0 aftershock in bedminster which is not far from where we're at we were only um that's not very big, we were only seven miles away from the epicenter of this earthquake. And so again, I think it's good to look at how we did and we did okay. We did okay. We didn't do great, but we did okay. We sat down in the living room after, we kind of talked about it, we did i got mad at jp because i'm like when there's an emergency you listen if you hear me calling but that said um he then now he's his defense father i don't know if you've been hearing this lately he's like i heard him on the

phone with his aunt karen and he was like i'm the only one that remained calm so that's his defense he was the calm one um so so because the ring camera, I was able to pair it with a TV screen and I played it all for everybody. And they laughed as I was yelling at them to get out of the house. So my little seven-year-old Patrick runs out like this is the greatest thing ever. And he runs over and jumps up on the retaining wall. Someone's walking out with a dog. And our daughter, one of our daughters, she's the one that gets an A plus. One of our daughters, And our daughter, one of our daughters, she's the one that gets an A plus. One of our daughters, Marivy, she was changing her clothes and she heard us.

She heard she felt the thing. She heard you screaming for us to leave the house. And she had her shirt. She didn't have a shirt on. She had her shirt just covering her chest and she ran out. That is a smart girl. That's a smart girl. So then we sat, we kind of unpacked how we did what we could have done better. We talked about the fact that I think we're in crazy times and, you know, we may need

to be prepared for some other emergency. We don't know what's going to happen. It could be a natural disaster. It could be, you mentioned we could be at the mall and there could be a shooter. I mean, anything could happen or something could happen with our government. I don't trust our government. could be a shooter. I mean, anything could happen or something could happen with our government. I don't trust our government. I don't know what's going on, but I thought this was a great test run for an emergency. And then after we went through that, we prayed. Yeah, we did. And I told the kids, I said, I think we were meant to be here today all together. We were all, well, Valentina was at school, unfortunately, but she's fine. The school called immediately. And I think we're all meant to be together. We were all meant to have this experience. And I told them that we're a

tribe and we can survive anything. That's right. So we did it. We learned some lessons. We survived the earthquake. And maybe we'll, if I can, if I can figure out how to record my ring video, maybe I'll put this in and you guys can all check it out. Well, Fox and Friends is very curious about this video. So hopefully you can figure it out by tomorrow, Sean, because they definitely want it. All right, we'll see. All right, let's go to our next story. You guys didn't ask us about the earthquake because you didn't know what was going to happen. So that's our own topic. But we had a question about Shakira. Tell go to our next story. You guys didn't ask us about the earthquake because you didn't know what was going to happen. So that's our own topic.

But we had a question about Shakira. Tell us the Shakira story. So Shakira, I guess, I don't know why she's tweeting about it now. Maybe she just got it on Amazon Prime and she watched it with just two young boys. And this was her reflection as a boy mom of the film. She said, my sons absolutely hated it. They felt that it was emasculating. And I agreed to a certain extent.

I'm raising two boys. I want them to feel powerful, too, while respecting women. I like pop culture when it attempts to empower women without robbing men of their possibility to be men, to also protect and provide. I believe in giving women all the tools and the trust that we can do at all without losing our essence, without losing our femininity. I think that men have a purpose in society and women have another purpose as well. We complement each other and that compliment should not be lost. The idea of the complementarity of the sexes is a very Catholic way of looking at that in terms of how now we look at it. Well, she's Colombian. She's a Colombian woman. So I'm assuming maybe she is. Uh, but you know, as soon as I read it,

I related to that. Um, and I said, I tweeted that she basically, I mean, that she had a point and that I believe that the point of view she came to had, you know, maybe it has to do with Catholicity. I don't know. I think it has a lot to do with her being Hispanic because in Hispanic culture, Hispanic women are confident, they're hardworking, and they fully embrace their femininity and their maternal roles. By the way, Sean, the largest percentage of at-home moms are Hispanic. The largest percentage of women who are working, who want to be at-home moms, are Hispanic women. So they obviously care very much about their maternal roles. They love men and they desire for the men in their lives

to flourish within their masculinity and, as Shakira said, to protect and provide for their families. And again, I agree, the sexes were designed to be complimentary. All right, so here's my take. were designed to be complimentary. All right, so here's my take. So first off, Shakira, by evidence that her boys did not like the Barbie movie, she's raising good boys because little boys, I don't think should like the Barbie movie.

If they like the Barbie movie, something's wrong with your boys, I think. Because it attacks boys. It attacks boys, that's right. Point number one. And point number two, if it attacks masculinity or attacks boys and your boys don't like it, to have a mom support her boys. Amen. Not try to change the boy's opinion. Like, yes, you should like this Barbie movie that attacks boys. You should actually. She's like, no, you know what? They didn't like

it. They actually hated it. And I support them in not liking this movie. Again, Barbies, listen, Barbies have been for girls for, I mean, you have Ken and yes, boys will play with Barbies once in a while. I know, but you know, we play with trucks and cars and we beat things up. We don't really play with Barbie dolls. And so a lot of boys won't like Barbie. Good on Shakira for raising boys that don't like it. Because I think that the Barbie movie would have been fine the way it was. But this, if you watch the movie as I did, it went out of its way to be like girl boss. And as it does it, as it does the girl boss message, which by the way, is not Barbie. Um, but as they did it, they really, I think diminished men in the process,

made them look stupid, um, made them feel like they weren't enough. Um, and I think that for civilization, that's not good. We will have a stronger society when men don't feel like their masculinity is toxic and they can fully flourish in that. And when women feel like they can be who they are, they can be strong and feminine at the same time. We're in a cultural battle here. There's an attack on men and boys. And that Shakira would, again, culture is where the war is at. And that she is lending some cred to the pushback that, you know what, boys may not like it and that's okay. You know what?

Good on them. That she's not going to cower to the pressure of people might get mad at me if I say this, that my boys didn't like it. And people did, Sean. And that was what was interesting. She knew they would. Of course she knew that. She didn't care. Good on you, Shakira. Yeah, i like that good for shakira um and um yeah bringing back some interesting cultural battles that we're in or some cultural sanity some cultures i mean maybe

this is maybe that's the point of this is that we're reaching a point of saturation where women are just like everyone is just like enough of all this gender fluidity. Not enough. Enough. Enough. That's right. So this story, as you know, Sean, had me just so upset all week. So there is a woman. She is a she was at the J6, the January 6th protests of our election. And when she was there, she was only in, in there. I'm going to pull, I want to pull up. There's a pretty good, um, district description of it. She, um, she got to the Capitol. She prayed on, on, um, the Capitol steps peacefully.

She walked through the rotunda for all of 10 minutes and she prayed a little bit more um carrying two small flags and she went outside um the doj went after this woman and has been after her ever since they've been tracking down using resources that should be used remember they took and we had fbi whistleblowers on our show. They took FBI agents off the beat, off investigations, into child sex predators, off of pedophilia cases, and put them on J6 cases. And they went after this grandma. She's not just a grandma, Sean. She's a great grandma. She has one great grandchild. They threw the book at her. This past week, she was sentenced. She was found guilty and sentenced to a year in prison for praying in the Capitol, for not committing one act of violence. She was praying, and there's video footage of her doing so. So this is my take.

Prosecutors have discretion in what and how they charge. And judges have wide discretion as well in how they sentence. And the judges and the prosecutors have had no discretion really at all in how they'd handle these cases. To your point, they've been trying to destroy anyone that showed up on January 6th. And there's people who broke doors, broke windows, that broke into places they shouldn't have been. This grandma walked in and went through the public areas of the Capitol. Now, maybe she shouldn't have been there, but she walked through. And it was crowded as she was going through. And then the question becomes, what did she do while she was there?

Nothing. She wasn't yelling at people. She wasn't screaming. She wasn't tipping over statues or burning statues. She was praying. And so I think any prosecutor with a heart should look at that and go, you know what? She probably shouldn't have been there. You know, maybe we're going to give her a civil forfeiture for $200 of disorderly conduct. But to convict her of a crime, then a judge to sentence her to prison for one year is outrageous. The fact that you, that is the least you're going to get is that you're going to go to prison for a year. That's how much they hate anyone who supported Donald Trump and showed up at the Capitol on that day. Even a great grandma who had a couple of flags and prayed,

you're going to go to jail for a year. That's the least anybody's ever going to get. And this is what, you know what my takeaway, Rachel is? What? It matters where you live. It matters where you live because, or where you go, where you travel. In Washington, D.C., with a Washington, D.C. jury, with Washington, D.C. prosecutors and Washington, D.C. judges, you don D.C. prosecutors and Washington, D.C. judges, you don't have a chance of winning a jury trial. That's a great point. And you don't have a chance of being treated fairly by a judge in that jurisdiction. And in New York, Donald Trump sees that. In New Jersey, I think it's the same thing.

You have to go to a place where you're going to have judges and prosecutors who still have common sense, who still want to follow the rule of law. They don't have political vendettas against a political party. And that's my takeaway. Be careful where you live and be careful where you travel, because you might find yourself ensnared with politicals like this that send grandmas to prison for a year. Well, this is the second case this week of Americans being sent to prison for praying because you had the, there were 11 protesters who were praying in front of an abortion clinic. Again, to your point, Sean, in Washington, D.C., the book was thrown at them, the DOJ threw the book

at them for violating what they call the FACE Act, which is an act where you're not allowed to block the entrance to an abortion clinic. They were near, they say they weren't blocking the entrance, but they were there, they were there near there. They were praying. The book was thrown at them. Some of them have gotten 11 years. The ones that were sentenced this week got one year, each of them, the two that were sentenced this week. But the FACE Act isn't just about blocking the entrance to an abortion clinic. It's also about interfering or intimidating people when they are trying to exercise their right to, their First Amendment right to express themselves through religion in their faith and freedom of religion. And so over Easter, there were Gaza, you know, protesters who broke into, you know, came

into St. Patrick's Cathedral and, you know, disrupted the holiest service, the Easter vigil mass, and unfurled their flag and were yelling and screaming and intimidating the parishioners of St. Patrick's Cathedral. And I guarantee those people are not going to get federal charges, even though they violated the FACE Act too. And so what you have here in the case of the J6 mom and what you have in the case of these pro-lifers who are, we have a two-tiered system of justice. I mean, just look at, you know, J6 protesters versus BLM Antifa protesters who went to jail, who didn't, who had the FBI hound them and terrify them, who didn't. You have pro-life protesters going to jail. We had Jane's Revenge, a domestic terrorist group who, since Roe v. Wade was

overturned two summers ago, have firebombed and attacked 70 pro-life pregnancy centers, and nothing has happened to them. In fact, the FBI has stolen the surveillance footage of some of these centers and refuses to give it back to the centers. So you have the FBI working on behalf of the domestic terrorists. You have Donald Trump versus Joe Biden. You know, you cannot say anymore, Sean, that we don't live in a two-tiered system. And I don't understand why there's not one Democrat that hasn't stood up against any of this. You make an interesting point because we think of Mark Houck was the Catholic father of what, nine or eight or seven kids? Father, homeschool father of nine.

He went and he was playing outside of an abortion clinic when he and his son were basically verbally abused by someone else who was there, an older man supporting those who were going to go get abortions and were saying vile things to Mark Houck's son. He was 12. And the FBI raided him, broke in early in the morning, arrested him in front of his family. They were terrified. Arrested, charged. They tried him.

But that trial was in Pennsylvania, right? And in that Pennsylvania trial, Mark Houck was found not guilty, right? Went home free. It matters where you are in the people that look on the jury panel at the facts in your case. Donald Trump's not getting a fair trial in Washington, D.C. or in New York City, not in Atlanta, Georgia. Maybe in Florida, you'll get a fair jury. But again, Mark Hopp versus these other protesters. So what's the lesson?

So, OK, I think that's such a great point. I don't know why I hadn't thought about that in that way. But you're absolutely right. How these cases end up unfolding and turning out in the end matters who the juries are. So we're in a place right now in America where we're already seeing a lot of people self-select. I mean, you and I, we moved to New Jersey so I could be closer to my job. Every day we talk about wanting to move to a red state. Every day we do. Every day you're on Zillow looking for ways we can move to a red state. So my co-hosts have left New York and Jersey to go to red states. So my question, and we're seeing everybody knows this, right? People moving to Florida,

people moving to Texas, people moving to Tennessee. We're seeing this self-selection out, right? This division kind of naturally happening as people vote with their feet, where they want to live, who they want to live near. And now we've got an actual legal reason why you would want to, the quickest way to escape the persecution of Christians and of conservatives is to leave a blue state. That's the easiest thing you can do to make sure it doesn't happen to you. So where do you see this happening? What do you see happening to the United States and this so-called union we have as this, as the prosecutions become more, more common, more pronounced and people move with their feet? Are we heading for a divorce? That's what I want to know. Are we heading for a divorce? I don't know. Maybe not. I'm not saying a revolution. I'm saying a civil divorce.

Maybe not a civil divorce in law or practicality, but I think in practice, yes. Because, again, it goes to the point of meat. If I'm a meat eater, I'm going to eat meat, and you might be a vegetarian, and you go, I don't like meat, and I'm going to eat, you know, something other than meat. Right. So we both have, I'm not trying to make you eat meat and you're not trying to make me stop eating meat. We're conservatives and we're like, we're going to do what we want. But liberals will say, I don't eat meat. I eat bugs and I want to force you to live the way I do.

That's right. Right. That's right. Conservatives want to lead their own lives, but not force anyone to live like them. And that's why you see this self-selection, which comes back to the point of freedom. Right. I don't want someone telling me what to do. And liberals love to set up rules and laws and structures that force me to live my life the way they see fit, as opposed to the way I see fit to run my life. the way they see fit as opposed to the way I see fit to run my life. And that's why you're seeing this divide. And at some point, maybe there'll be, I think our country is going to stay together. I just don't, I think it's too complicated. I think conservatives would be like, listen, I'm fine with the separation. Liberals will never let it happen. They will never let you out.

Because they don't want to let us live. So Sean, we had John. By the way, if you have not listened to our interview with John Daniel Davidson, it's John David Daniels. I always get his. John. He's on this week. Yesterday. Yesterday. He came on the podcast. You must listen to this podcast.

It is so good. He wrote a book called Pagan America, The Decline of Christianity and the Dark Age to Come. And just what is happening to America, it's irrefutable that we have receded, Christianity is receding, and he believes we are already well into a post-Christian America and the implications of that for all of us. And in the end, and I'll let you guys listen to that podcast because it's fascinating, absolutely fascinating. It's my favorite book that I've read in the last few months. And I would say, you know, we asked him at the end,

what should we do? And he said, you got to prepare your family. And he said, he doesn't believe we should recede from the world. Because you hear conservatives say that all the time, get a cabin in the mountains and move away from people. He doesn't think so at all. He thinks you should fight back, but you should fight back on ground that you can win. And that means what you're saying, living around like-minded people where your vote actually counts in your local elections because there's enough of you, people, where your vote actually counts in your local elections because there's enough of you, live in community. He thought faith communities are becoming increasingly important,

that they are strong, and that you should get involved in your faith community and in your town. No doubt. It's a great podcast. Check it out if you haven't heard it. Let's do this. We're going to take a quick break, listen to these messages. We're going to come back, and then talk about the American Cancer society and the rising risk of cancer. Next. Walk with us. Connect to the land that connects us all. Grow with us. Come together and make space for each other.

Eat with us. Taste the many flavors of our cultures. Laugh with us. Smile. Joke. And bring each other joy. Come. Walk with us.

Indigenous Tourism Alberta. All right, welcome back to From the Kitchen Table. Let's dive into this story that someone sent us, Rachel. It's about the American Cancer Society and the tidal wave of cancers to come. So the American Cancer Society is warning that, and these are their words, and I don't think they want to be alarmist. So I don't think this is an alarmist thing. I think they know something.

I think we're getting a little bit cast-lighted here, to be frank. But now they've put out that we're going to be seeing a tidal wave of tumors coming. They say cases are set to rise by 80% by the year 2050, which isn't that far from now. 26 years. That's right. They say about 20 million cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2022, but that number is projected to balloon to 35 million by 2025. And so, you know, a lot of people, and by the way, they're saying the rise is in young people. Hmm. That's interesting.

Why would it be rising in young people, the least likely, you know, historically speaking, to get cancer? And so, you know, you can go down to Twitter. I posted about this. I just said, hmm, why do you think this is happening? Any good guesses, people out there? And of course, everyone is saying they forced us to get these vaccines. There was a woman who wrote me, Sean, on my Twitter, and she said, I lost my 59-year-old brother in February of 2023 from a fast-spreading, these are these turbo cancers that we're hearing about,

from a fast spreading soft tissue sarcoma. This tumor was diagnosed and operated on a week before last Thanksgiving of 2023. I know he was jabbed and boosted. You know, everybody, this one says la vacuna, mi querida amiga, which means the vaccine, my dear friend. Everybody, it's like 98%. And people kind of get it because it just seems like, you know, even with the myocarditis, Sean, they kind of trickle out the information eventually. And that's why we don't trust them. That's right. They should be honest with us. If they force people to get a vaccine and it's now hurting people because there's turbo cancers, they should share that

information with us. But they're a little shy about sharing all of the data. If you want to see what's happening with a lot of cancers and the connection to the vaccine, you have to look to other countries who are doing these studies. It's not happening in America. And so I want to make two points on this. I'm going to come back to the vaccine in a second, but it's also relevant, the kind of food that we eat. And the fact that we have poisons in all of our foods, the way things are grown and then packaged. And then if you're buying processed foods, I think it should be illegal, the things we put in these foods. And they are in other countries, Sean.

They are in other countries. In fact, the same products. Your sister sent me some interesting stuff the other day where somebody analyzed, you know, it's like the same bag of chips sold here versus in Canada or in, you know, Europe, same bag of cookies, they ban certain products that are carcinogenic. Yes. And, and, and we still have them in our products. And so if you buy the same cookies here or in Italy, you're just going to get more bad ingredients in ours, even though it's the same company, the same brand of cookies, they aren't following that. And so, you know, we've had Cali Means on many times on the show. We're actually going to have him and his sister back in another month because they're launching a book, but they have been

talking about ultra processed foods, the chemicals and toxins, and just even the way the grains are grown and the way they are processed, all of that is adding to cancer. So, again, I'm not a health nut. You're not a health nut. We try to eat healthy. That's right. I think we're pretty darn good. I thought my mom when I was growing up was a bit of a health nut. My mom still is a good health nut.

She is. I just want to try to do things better. And so what we've done is, I think I mentioned this before, we make our own bread. I make it every night for the kids in the morning. It comes out nice and hot in the morning. We have a bread machine. We're not kneading dough. I'm not kneading bread.

I got a bread machine. By the way, my bread machine, I love it. It's amazing. It's a Japanese bread machine. I did a lot of research. You did a great job on that. Because I wanted to make sure that we had a bread machine that didn't just function well, because I looked for that.

But we needed a large one, because we're a big family. Works awesome. But I use einkorn flour, which is a 2,000-year-old grain and 4,000-year-old grain. It tastes amazing. It hasn't been processed or modified. And if you compare what I put in our bread and you compare the ingredients that go into store-bought bread, basically I've got water, milk, butter, yeast, sugar, salt, and flour. That's it. Look at all the stuff that's in the bread that you buy at the store.

So that's one point. Eating better can be helpful on these cancer rates, number one. But if you got jabbed, which Rachel and I were like, you know what? They're pushing me too hard. Something's weird. We're not going to get the jab. And we didn't. But if you did, there's a lot of places out there that you can look to go, what can I

do to improve my immune system to deal with the shot that I got? So we're not criticizing people who got it. But if you did, recognize that there are higher risks of cancer, or that's what at least we would assume from these stats that are coming from the American Cancer Society and studies from other countries. And so go, what can I do to make sure I can alleviate the impact of the shot that I got and make sure I stay healthy? So there are online, there are doctors, many of them are the ones who were saying there are early treatments and they were banned.

These are like the most go to the sites of the most vindicated doctors from the from the from the pandemic. And they have now come up with different therapies and ways that you can mitigate the impact of the spike protein in your body. I don't have enough information on how to do that. I didn't take it and I'm not a doctor, but you can look into it. I just want to say, Sean, that they're seeing about a 50%. You know, they're seeing this huge increase in cancers. The authors of the, one of the co-authors of the report says, he says that the rise in projected cancer cases is solely due to the aging and the growth of the population, which doesn't make sense because they also say in the same report that they're in public health who forced people to take these vaccines at the risk of losing their livelihoods, their jobs and social shaming. They they're going to they're never going to admit that they were wrong. They're never going to admit they were wrong.

There's way too much liability. And they've probably convinced themselves, well, if we say we were wrong, then no one will ever believe us the next time there's something. Well, guess what? We already don't believe you guys. So anyway, I thought it was an interesting article. You can read more about it. You can check out the study yourself. But I think your advice, Sean, is really good. The most important thing you can do right now is be as healthy as you can. If you were at peak health before COVID hit, you were less likely to die of COVID. And that was a fact. It was morbid. It was comorbidities and obesity that were the great and old age were the greatest contributors to the predictability of whether you were going to die or be severely hurt by COVID. So I think that's that. Okay. Let's go to Fresh. All right. So Fresh and Fit is a podcast. I don't listen to them, but my kids, some of my older kids

do. They knew exactly who he was. I happened upon this video. So Fresh and Fit are two people. And Fresh, he has a girlfriend or had a girlfriend for about a month and he got her pregnant. And then they broke up. And then she called him after they broke up and she moved out of his house. She called him to say, hey, I'm pregnant. And this is how the conversation went down. I don't want to kill the baby. I don't want to kill nobody. I'm pregnant. And this is how the conversation went down. So there you go. You know, this was really like when I heard it, it really hit me hard. As you know, Sean, I deal with a lot of pro-life people.

I know a lot of counselors who are pro-life counselors who women come to. a lot of counselors who are pro-life counselors who women come to, and they will tell you unequivocally that the main reason women have abortions is because they are pressured by the men in their life. Women have a biological instinct to protect their child. They have done studies where 80% of all post-abortive women say that had they had support from either their partner or their family, they would not have had an abortion. They regret these abortions. They just felt hopeless and like they couldn't handle it because their partner was forcing them or pressuring them to do it. And so you hear so much, Sean, about the choice, all these youth feminisms, my choice, my body. Most abortions are not a woman's choice. They're a man's choice. There's a lot of irony in that. Well, it's a point that's very well made because

if you have a man, whether they're still in a relationship or not in a relationship, they could have been broken up. If the man is like, listen, we're going to do this. We're going to figure it out. That takes a lot of pressure off the woman to go, I don't have to do it by myself. I have somewhat of a partner that's going to help me, whether it's financially or emotionally, raise this child. And if you have that, you are more likely to choose life than choose abortion. If you feel alone and isolated and no one is going to support you, that's when it becomes far more appealing to get out of your problem, get out of your problem. That's an air quotes and have an abortion. And the irony of course, is that when women have abortions,

they get a whole new set of problems, right? They get the guilt on the rates of alcoholism, drug abuse is extraordinarily, exponentially higher among post-abortive women than those who aren't. And so you're just trading in for a whole new set of problems. And, you know, my heart just broke hearing it, Sean. I mean, he's so callous. He just says, I don't want any kids. You know, she says, well, I can't believe I'm pregnant. It appears like she was probably on the pill. She didn't expect this. And she says, this must be that you know god meant for this to be and he goes definitely not um he's just a jerk and a coward and he's not a man and um i thought that it was really fascinating that she recorded it and she posted it and she shamed him and it would be very

interesting to see what the reaction is to this but i I think it was, I think it's the way it probably, it's very similar to, I think, what happens to a lot of women in this situation, that there are these men. And that's the problem, Sean, with the whole situation is the women's movement shifts all of the burden because of their sloganeering on my body, my choice, and women's rights. Now everything is on the women, and the focus isn't on the men who have to stand up there and protect the women and the baby and take responsibility for what they've done. As she says, you are part of this. So my takeaway of this is, again, the man can walk away.

He doesn't have a baby in his womb because he has no womb. He doesn't have the baby. It's like, see you later, mama. And she gets stuck with a baby and the problems around the birth of the baby and the decision on how I raise this child. So for women, it's really important before you jump into bed with someone, maybe you should know a little something about them. What's this girl's name? I don't know her name. Maybe she shouldn't have been so surprised that he was going to behave this way when she called and said, I was pregnant, right? That's, that becomes, that should be part of the analysis. Um, because all of a sudden you're, you're stuck, you're stuck out in the cold, um, because you were in bed with someone.

Of course. Of course, that's a fair statement that there's a lot of sort of promiscuous sex and people not thinking about the consequences. Abortion is so easy now. Forty percent of abortions are chemical abortions, which means you're not going down to a clinic anymore where you might actually see a pro-life person praying in front and might have a chance to second guess, have a second thought about this. Pro-life would have been there, but now they're in jail. Yeah, they're in jail too. Instead, a pill is sent to your mailbox. And then you perform the abortion by yourself, which is why we see a 500% increase in emergency room visits because the women are bleeding.

Their cervix don't close. They get infections. Sometimes the placenta is left behind. And then they have extra trauma. in emergency room visits because the women are bleeding, their cervix don't close, they get infections, sometimes the placenta is left behind, and then they have extra trauma because before when they would do it surgically, they wouldn't have to see the baby because they were put out or they were in a position where they couldn't see the baby being extracted out of their womb, but now it's passing into the toilet. They're seeing it. TikTok is full of videos of young women who have had had chemical abortions at home. It's the most gruesome DIY project, you know, do it yourself project you could ever imagine. And they're getting retraumatized

because they're seeing what they've done in the most graphic of ways in their own bathrooms. in the most graphic of ways in their own bathrooms. It's unbelievable. But I think, Sean, that what abortion has done and what the language and the sloganeering and all the euphemisms is that they have made it easy for men to do what this man did. They have made it easy for men to do what they have done. And I think the women's movement would do a better job

of talking less about empowerment and talking a little bit more about the responsibility of the men who are on the other side of that. And I can tell you, you know, when you are pregnant and you first find out in the way that this woman found out, she is scared to death. And exactly what you said, Sean, she needs somebody to say, we're going to get through this. And exactly what you said, Sean, she needs somebody to say, we're going to get through this. I got this. Because she is so overwhelmed with just the news of being pregnant and what that means to her life that what she wants is somebody to take the burden off so she can just concentrate on being pregnant and take all the other worries, the financial worries, the professional worries, you know, what's going to happen to my life away from her. And, and this movement that claims to be about women has made it really easy for jerks like this guy fresh to do what he did. And so that's, that's just how I feel about it. I, I agree. And a hundred percent, the movement has allowed men to be cowards. It's not. It's not a women's movement. It's an abortion movement. However,

sometimes life is unfair. Our bodies are unfair. And there's a reality around the difference in men and women. And that's why we should be very conscious of the decisions that we make and with who we make those decisions. That's my only point. A hundred percent. But what our culture could do done, I'm not going to just blame this on, on the women's movement, but what culture should do is concentrate more on building men to be men and to be ready to, um, uh, to, to become good fathers, as opposed to a society that just says, here's a quick fix. You know, the women's movement, I'm sure if they, if the women's movement as a whole was able to have a voice and they listened to this video, who would they side with? They side with the woman who's pregnant and wants to have a baby

or fresh who wants to have an abortion. I bet you they'd go, you know what? Have the abortion. It's easy. They would side with fresh. Yeah, because they say the same things that Fresh says. Fresh says, you're not killing anything. You're just taking a pill. And again, that's what Fresh said. You're not killing anything, anyone. You're just taking a pill. And that is the message that you're absolutely right.

And she's like, no, I'm not. That's an abortion. Which is why I always say, Sean. It's a sin. She said, it's a sin. She said, you're a sin. If you make me get an abortion, you are a sin. I will say, I know we want to move to the Mulvaney topic but i want to i want to leave it with this this is why

i have been and i go around the country as you know talking about about this issue and the message i have around it is the greatest feminists in the country the real pro-woman movement in the country is the pro-life movement. That is the pro-woman movement. It is pro-life women activists who are there for women, who provide the diapers, who help them get through the pregnancy, who help them find apartments, who give them support, who tell them that even after they have abortions, they come back to the pro-life movement for therapy because the rest of the medical community doesn't believe it's a trauma at all. We're the only ones who acknowledge the pain and the anguish and the trauma of an abortion. The other movement doesn't care about women. The real feminist, the real pro-woman movement is the pro-life movement.

The real caring movement, no doubt. We'll have more of this conversation after this. Some things require a lot of work to grow, like plants, hair, babies, or your savings.

for full details. All right, let's go to Mick Mulvaney. So you know Mick Mulvaney, Sean. He's a friend of yours. You served with him. He ended up becoming the director of the Office of Management and Budget. And if you know anything about Mick Mulvaney, he's very Irish-American. So Mick was the chief of staff of Donald Trump. But before that, he was the head of the OMB, Office of Management and Budget. Also of the CFPB, which is probably you've never heard of, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He led that as well. It's a radical commie organization, or as it's run now. But yeah, so talk about what he's doing. He's a great guy. He's a great Irish guy. If you ever see him on St. Patrick's Day,

he doesn't just wear like a green handkerchief in his pocket. He has a whole bushel of shamrocks coming out of his suit jacket. So he loves, he's a good Irish Catholic. And this is what he wrote. He wrote just before Lent in 2018. So this is when Donald Trump was still in office. I asked the White House chief of staff, John Kelly, to relate to the president what I later learned was an unprecedented request. So he asked John Kelly, would you ask Donald Trump this if you could do me a favor? He didn't know that this was unprecedented when he asked. Here's what he asked Donald Trump.

He asked Donald Trump if a Catholic mass, if we could have a Catholic mass in the old executive office building on Ash Wednesday. So it would be easier for all the people who work in the executive, in the old executive office building around the White House to go to mass on Ash Wednesday. It's in the White House complex. It's just like right across a street that isn't used. Correct. Right there. He said the result was stunning. More than 100 people showed up for the first mass in history inside of the White House compound. As you said, Sean, that was the first time in history that a mass was held in the White House camp compound. He said the mass was so successful that it continued every other week until it was shut down for COVID in March of 2020. So he was still in office.

Then Mulvaney says, when Mr. Biden took office, I encourage members of his transition team to resume the services once everything opened up again. Catholic Joe Biden. And he says the masses haven't resumed. What does that tell you, Sean? Because this is the president who had the rose. Now, maybe his staffers, his transition team are such secularist, anti-God people that they didn't convey it over to the president himself. That's a possibility. But if you really believed

your boss was Catholic, you might pass that on to him. Yeah. But if, but is Joe Biden, do I think that Joe Biden cares about this issue? Have a mass at the, at the White House complex? I don't. I mean, this is, this is the president who made the choice to celebrate a trans day of visibility on Easter Sunday. Yeah. Right. He didn't have to do that. He could have said nothing, but he said, no, I'm going to elevate this issue. I'm going to put out a proclamation. On the day of Christ rising on Easter. He's attacked Catholics, sent the FBI after pro pro-lifers, but also Catholics. Yeah. And the Latin mass Catholics. He's a pro-abortion Catholic. He's a pro-abortion Catholic. So if you put Catholic in front of all the things that Joe Biden is doing,

you would conclude that Joe Biden actually is not a good Catholic, if a Catholic at all. So I'm not surprised by this. But you know what? Donald Trump, wow. Not Catholic. Not Catholic. But you know what? Happy to do this.

He's a believer in freedom to go. You know what, Mick Mulvaney, you want to have a Catholic mass? Good on you, brother. Invite the priest in. Have at it. Because Donald Trump's not offended by religion or Catholics. Where Joe Biden appears to be, or at least his staff that he brought in around him, they're offended by Catholics. They're not offended, Sean.

They're antagonistic. That's right. Towards Catholics. They're at war with Catholics. Exactly. Why let the enemy? Don't let the enemy into the white house the catholics are the enemy they're fighting all the things that we're doing we're trying to destroy the church we're trying to destroy catholics why let them into the white house to celebrate a mass no we have to keep

them out all right we're trying to destroy them so right anyway good good on you mcmurray i didn't know that story but good on mick good catholic mean, I didn't know that story, but good on Mick. Good Catholic guy. Yeah, I hope that, you know, well, you know, I'm not going to lie. I hope Donald Trump wins. And I hope that Catholic, I know, I know, big Fox News alert. Rachel's picked a side. I did.

I picked a side. I hope Donald Trump wins, and I hope the Catholic Mass comes back to the White House complex. And Bible services and prayer groups, I hope all of that comes back. Boy White House complex, and Bible services and prayer groups. I hope all of that comes back. Boy, does our country need prayers. Yeah, we need prayers right now, no doubt.
