From the Kitchen Table: The Duffys - Q&A With the Duffys: The Leftist Media's False Portrayal of Governor Tim Walz

Episode Date: August 10, 2024

As Minnesota Governor Tim Walz steps into America's limelight, many Democrats are portraying him as the epitome of a sweet Midwestern dad — he'll change your tire in a time of distress, he'll be working the grill on the 4th of July, and will certainly be cracking dad jokes at every dinner table. Though this picture sounds quite endearing. . .is it accurate? On today's episode, Sean and Rachel discuss the many reasons they believe this portrayal of Governor Walz is nowhere close to the truth based on his record and why Republicans need to get more vocal about issues like inflation to make Americans remember the election should be about picking a leader that has a plan to make the country better, not just a good social media team.

Hey everyone, welcome to From the Kitchen Table. I'm Sean Duffy along with my co-host for the podcast, my partner in life and my wife, Rachel Campos Duffy, who is not at the kitchen table with me. I'm in Fox Studios right now and you are back at home, so we'll do it. I'm at the kitchen table with me. I'm in Fox Studios right now, and you are back at home. So we'll do it. I'm at the kitchen table. You're not. I miss the kitchen table.

We've actually been ships in the night. I had to host Fox and Friends this morning and did a segment for Stuart Farney and then did a segment for Brian Kilmeade's radio show and then rushed home. And then you were on your way out and now you're at the studio and it's just been crazy today but we're connected at least on the podcast at least in the podcast we get to hang out together and do a little chatting we didn't carve out podcast time what would we get we wouldn't see each other that's right it's kind of crazy so good to see you virtually today I guess um okay let, let's kind of break down.

We want to talk about Tim Walls. And there was a Washington Post article that came out that was talking about just what an iconic, masculine, Midwestern nice man that he is. He's a guy that has a ratchet set that you could borrow as a neighbor. He'd pull up alongside you and tell you that your back tire needs air, you know, teaching his kids about using quality wire for speakers. Like, oh, just he's a wonderful Midwestern man trying to cast Tim Walls as one, a Midwesterner, and number two, as masculine. Or as a dad, right? As a Midwestern dad, which equals masculine, right? Right. Well, dads oftentimes are masculine, but that's the way they're trying to characterize and classify Tim Walz. And because you've lived in the Midwest with me for almost 25 years, what do you uh what is your take on tim wallace as a midwestern nice masculine father man okay so before i tell you the answer to that sean first can i tell you

how absolutely over the top and coordinated the talking points are on this. It's insane. It's like, it's almost like they have this caricature of what like the shop teacher is, you know, the shop teacher, who's the dad, whose kids also go to the school and like use in all the descriptions that you had there. And, um, it's just, yes, it's true. Midwestern dads are awesome. Yes, Midwestern dads actually do know how to change tires. They don't have to go to a gas station to get their tire changed. They don't have to get towed in order to deal with the flat tire. All of that is true.

But there is nothing Midwestern in that sense at all about Tim Walz. In fact, I would tell you, Sean, that what I know about Tim Walz, what I knew about him, and now I know more than I ever wanted to know about him, he's a Berkeley, California dad. I don't know one dad in the Midwest who would want to put tampons in little boys' bathrooms. That is not Midwestern. That is not masculine. That is not dad-like. It's the opposite. And the list goes on and on. I'll give you one more.

He chose his honeymoon date, a date he could remember. chose his honeymoon date, a date he could remember. And so he decided to get married on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square. On top of that, he was in China around the time of the Tiananmen Square and then returned back to America. And his one comment that he keeps talking about when he comes back from China after the massacre of the Tiananmen Square, after the massacre of freedom fighters, is China's great. Crime is low. What? This is not a Midwestern man. So there was a time that the media served the American people. Right. And it was their job to ask candidates questions because their consumers, the American people, right? And it was their job to ask candidates questions because they're consumers. The American people wanted to know. That's changed. They're not working. The press is not working on behalf of the American people. The press is working on behalf of the Democrat

party because everyone in the press, at least the left-wing press, they're all Democrats. They're not unbiased. And so they're trying to present this picture of Tim Walz as something that he's not. And they can grasp onto a couple of things. Listen, Tim Walz, like any good Minnesotan, he's gone ice fishing, right? And I've got video of him out there, you know, in a ice fishing shed, you know, with a hole in the ice and pulling up a little crappie. He used to be a hunter, used to support the NRA. He doesn't support the NRA anymore. So he's got a number of things you could point to to go, he seems like a nice Midwestern guy who does Midwestern things that they can wrap their picture of Tim Walls in. But you mentioned tampons and boys' bathrooms. I don't think Midwestern men,

You mentioned tampons in boys' bathrooms. I don't think Midwestern men, even those who support abortion, they don't support late-term partial birth abortion. Abortion in the ninth month, which Tim Waltz made sure was available in Minnesota, actually went to an abortion clinic in Minnesota with Kamala Harris celebrating this radical, grotesque procedure of killing a baby. That's not Midwestern in any stretch. Midwesterners don't celebrate the death of the American dream going up in flames in a George Floyd riot, as Tim Walz did, as he wanted to smell the fumes and hear the sounds of the riots as businesses in downtown Minneapolis. The life work of many of these families and individuals for these businesses were torched by the protesters. He also, as a Midwesterner... By the way, Sean, can I just add to that? Sure. For those who didn't know this comment, and I think it's now been out there, but Tim Waltz's wife said that Tim Waltz and her wanted to keep the windows open as the city burned, as the tires burned, as the buildings burned,

because the smell of the burning city was a reminder to them of, you know, social justice. But as you rightly said, Sean, those were the dreams, the small businesses of so many Minnesotans. the small businesses of so many Minnesotans. And it's just, and many of them, by the way, ironically, minority owned businesses. You actually have to be sick to say that you wanted your windows open in the middle of the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis, which were deadly. So you could smell and hear the sounds of the destruction of American dreams. Talk about weirdos. That's a weirdo. What's also weird is that you set up a snitch line. So Minnesotans can snitch on their neighbors if those neighbors are violating the authoritarian COVID rules set up by Tim Walz. That's not Midwestern at all. I agree with you, Rachel. You said it's probably

more Berkeley-esque than it is Midwestern. All the things that Tim Walz did, and I think when we look at a guy like Tim Walz again, he embodies weakness because weak men embrace authoritarianism and they're authoritarian themselves. It's strong men who liberals are afraid of because it's strong men who stand up and fight the authoritarian, right? The fight, the rules and advocate and fight for freedom. That's why you've seen the left come after toxic masculinity because they see those men as the threat to their power, which is why they've had to demonize them. And why they celebrate Tim Walz is that he's weak and he embraces this authoritarian view that the leftists embrace. And so he's a tool for them to accomplish their goals. And he'll be a tool as the vice president. By the way, at a time when we need people who are, you mentioned,

Tiananmen Square and Tim Walz's vacation in China, at a time when we need people who are, you mentioned Tiananmen Square and Tim Walz's vacation in China. At a time when we want leaders to understand the threat of China, militarily and economically, the fact they send spy balloons over our country, they steal our intellectual property, they're buying farmland next to our bases. they're a true threat. To have a guy that celebrates, that loves the CCP, communist China, in the vice presidency, is not a guy who's going to fight them, not going to look out for American interests because our leader sees China as a threat and bad. You'll have a leader who's like, I love China. I celebrate China. I want America to be more like China. That's Tim Walz's view. I want America to be more like China. That's Tim Walz's view. And so if Tim and Kamala are elected, that's a win for China.

Donald Trump's victory is going to be a very tough road, I think, for China moving forward. You know, Sean, you talked about what is a real man. A real man protects his family. A real man protects his child. Probably one of the grossest things that Tim Walz has done. And Sean, the list is so long. I mean, you brought up abortion. He also is the governor who made sure that infants who survived an abortion, a botched abortion, were not given care. Not only that, he made sure that they were not even reported he got away the he did away with the reporting law so we could at least even know that this little human being existed and

struggled for life in the last hours i've met survivors of botched abortion some of them are mothers with children of their own um some of them bearing the the injuries. One of them lost her arm in that process. She's now a happy, loving mother of multiple children. I've met her. Her life is worth more than Tim Waltz in the state of Minnesota thinks. It's disgusting. But back to what I was saying, a father protects his children. So a father who believes in science and biology,

whose child comes home because of all this Marxist cultural propaganda going on in the school and all the sexual confusion that is being fomented with our tax dollars in our school system, if that child comes home and says, now I'm a boy or I'm a girl, and you as a parent believe in traditional gender roles, and you think this child is just going through a very tough psychological phase and you want to get them psychological help to work through this and you don't want to actually chop off their genitalia or give your girl a double mastectomy or give them chemical hormones to make sure that they don't get through puberty in the gender that God gave them. Tim Waltz says the state should take your child away, has the right to take your child away.

I mean, talk about an affront to parental rights. Talk about, I mean, just this is what the Chinese government really is about. It's about total control over the family. The state has authority over children. The state has authority over a family. The state has authority over the father of the family. And that's the irony, Sean. It is the peak of demasculinization. That is what Tim Walz wants, which is when you come back to

like Doug Emmert having an interview with CNN saying, we need to deal with toxic masculinity. This is what they're talking about. They are, as you very rightly said, Sean, they are afraid of men. They are afraid of true masculine men who take responsibility of their family and believe it. They have the authority over their family and the protection of their family over the state. I'm sorry, Sean. I'm going to say it right out. They are propagandists and they are communists what's weird is that you'd set up your state to be um uh uh a sanctuary for uh children to come to where they can have um a chemical castration they can have surgeries uh in your state um real men would say not in my state

listen we got real problems culturally in the country, and you're not going to come and do that to a minor in my state. No, no. If you get a state that'll let you do it, that's one thing, but you will not do that here. Because men, to your point, Rachel, protect families. They protect kids. And when you have a governor who won't protect kids to make really egregious, life-changing decisions at 14 years old, you are not a man. If you're going to put boys in girls' bathrooms, endangering the sovereignty of these little girls, the minds of these little girls, you're not a man. If you're going to put men in women's prisons where women have to take contraception because the men are impregnating the women, you're not a real man. You're not protecting women. You're not protecting kids. You're not protecting your state as a man. So you can fish all you want. You can hunt all you want. You can pretend

like you're a man, Till Moles, but you are not a Midwestern man. You're not an American man. You're a liberal, girly man who is masquerading as a real man using the region from which you come and the fact that you're a father to try to say you're something other than you are. You're someone who doesn't protect women and you don't protect kids. So shame on you, Tim Walls, and shame on the media for trying to lie to us about who he is. We bring up Tim Walz because Tim Walz and his policies are the exact same as Kamala Harris. Tim Walz was picked because Kamala Harris and Tim agree on all of these issues. So they won't talk about policies. They won't talk about their ideas. They'll talk about joy.

They'll have platitudes in their in their written speeches. But they won't do an interview because they don't want to be asked the hard questions because they know that America wants real answers to the problems that we face. And if they're going to have a man in the office, they want a real man in the office, not a fake one like Tim Walz. not a fake one like Tim Walz. You know, Sean, I want to move to Bidenomics because that Bidenomics squares. I mean, Kamala Harris cannot run from Bidenomics. She was squarely behind it and it's hurting children. But before we do that, she listened. She just doubled down. Bidenomics is working. It's wonderful. I know she can't she can't run away from the results, which are hurting children. I want to talk about specifically how Bidenomics is hurting children. But before we do that, I have to say one last thing about Tim Walz, because I'm sure our listeners are saying, wow, Rachel and Sean, you guys have it

in for Tim Walz. I know this is really about Kamala, but I do have a special dislike for Tim Walz. And part of it is because of stolen valor. He claims to be, he has gone on stage and throughout his political career saying he is an E-9. That is the equivalent of a chief master sergeant. My father was an E-9 after spending 30 years in the military. He retired as a chief master sergeant. For those who don't know, about 1% of all military people make it to E9. I mean, it is a true accomplishment. When my father retired, that ceremony, I have a very bad memory. There's a lot of things I don't remember. I remember my father's retirement ceremony because it was so meaningful for us because he had given his life to the military and to his career. And he was a lifelong military man. And he's a very proud vet,

retired in Arizona. Tim Waltz was an E8, but he actually got like a provisionary E9 and they gave it to him, you know, pending he completing whatever he had to do, right? He didn't. And so when he left the military, he was an E8. But he has the gall and the dishonor to go out and say he actually is an E9, which is an insult to everybody who did become an E9. And by the way, there's all kind of, I mean, Sean, you've talked to people who actually served with him and have a lot of negative things to say. But I'm sorry, that just eats at me. I'm so mad at this guy for that kind of stolen valor. mad at this guy for for that kind of stolen valor. Chief Master Sergeant Campos deserves better than you pretending like you were an E-9, that you were a chief. We'll be right back with much more after

I had a number of times in the campaign trail that people would, they assumed, I don't know why, that I served in the military. And they would thank me for my military service. And I was very clear every single time I didn't serve in the military. I'm not going to take credit for doing something that I didn't do. Maybe I wish I had. Maybe I wish I had raised my hand and served. I

didn't. And I'm not going to take credit for doing something that I didn't do. And that's like, Tim, once again, taking credit for a rank you didn't receive or saying, you know, we should ban the weapons that I used, that I carried in war. It's like, well, you were never in war, Tim. Let me make one other point, Rachel. So I know Tim. We served in Congress together. We flew back from D.C. to, I would go through Minneapolis and was oftentimes in the same flight as him, worked on policy with him. And I got to tell you, I liked him. He's a nice guy. He really is a nice, he's a nice man. And he was a moderate congressman because he came from a district that was a Republican district

that he would win as a Democrat. And I could work with him. He was a, again, he was a decent human being. He was affable enough. And you can see that on the stage, he's an affable guy. But that doesn't stop me from looking at what he's done as governor when he was unleashed from the Republican voters from his district and he could do what he wanted as the governor. He could do what he wanted as the governor of Minnesota. He had free reign to be the real Tim Walz. And he was a radical liberal progressive. Keith Ellison, who is a very leftist now attorney general, also served in the Congress. I'd also consider Keith a friend as well because I would fly back with Keith.

And again, politics couldn't stop me from liking or disliking somebody. The DA, the communist DA. Now he's the attorney general of Minnesota. And again, he was always a radical leftist. And I should have known when Keith Ellison supported Tim Walz for governor, he got the liberal stamp of approval from Keith. I should have known then what Tim Walz really was, which is a radical leftist. What he became. No question.

Don't be fooled by the camo hats, right? Is that the message, Sean? Don't be fooled by that. Are liberals buying camo hats now, really? Yeah, no, no, no. Listen, the Wall Street Journal is like, they're writing these weird pieces. It's sort of like when they talk about the Midwest, Sean,

when they talk about MAGA, when they talk about Trump country, it's like they're from another planet and they're coming down and investigating like like who are these aliens? Yes. It's like zoo animals. It's so funny. Why the camel hat matters. shows that the media after 2016, when they should have learned their lesson and actually hired reporters from these areas who didn't just graduate from the liberal state schools, actually found people from the community to help them understand the rest of the country, they never did it.

They're still flying in, helicoptering in, looking at cheese curds and ice fishing and camo hats and, you know, orange, orange hunting vests as these like odd, you know, archaeological items that they found on the moon. You know, so it's still so foreign to them. It's still so foreign to them and they say stupid stuff and they think we're going to buy this propaganda that Tim Walz is your typical, you know, Midwestern dad, the coach down the street, the shop, you know, teacher down the down at the high school. He is not. He is as liberal as they come. I think he's more liberal than Gavin Newsom. It's interesting because this is half of America that these media outlets are supposed to kind of represent. And again, during these campaigns, they come and go like, who are these strange people that live in middle America that wear blaze orange or, you know, camo hats and vests? Like, we need to explore who they are. And maybe we need to try to replicate the things that they

wear and seem like we can relate to them with a camo hat compare that to donald trump rachel you get the same thing donald donald trump is the real deal no matter where he's at again he it could be he could be at the border and it's a hundred degrees how does donald trump show up in a in a suit and a red tie and and even his red hat like i'm was at the RNC and they had some pretty cool hats. They cost way too much, so I didn't buy one. But he even has like the old school old guy, like woven band across the top of the hat, like really old school on this Make America Great Again hat. He is who he is. He doesn't try to pretend to be something that he's not. These guys are pretenders. They're fakers, right? And people right now don't want to faker. They want to go,

tell me what you really think. Don't lie to me. Be bold. Speak clearly. I want to know what you believe and what vision you have for the country. No lies, just truth. And if I agree with you, I'll vote for you. But if I agree with the guy, I'll vote for him. But I want you to be honest. And everything they're doing is wrapped in dishonesty all the way down to the camo hat. Yeah, well, you know, got to give credit to Donald Trump. He's so authentic.

As you said, he wears the same dark suit and 90 degree weather at the border as he wears on the on the on the factory floor when he goes to visit. And he's wearing that same suit and red tie and MAGA hat at, you know, a country club where he's, you know, trying to raise money for his campaign. He gives the same message coming down the escalator in 2015 as he gives to, you know, the brown and black, you know, rally goers in the middle of the Bronx. He gives the same message about immigration and closing the borders in the Bronx as he gives to, you know, people in Texas live on the border or people in Wisconsin in a farm town. The authenticity is is tangible and he's real. I'll tell you the other thing that's real, Sean, and that is inflation. And people are feeling it.

I just got back. We talked about this. Just got back from Pennsylvania, from Allentown, the third largest city in Pennsylvania. This is the battleground state of Pennsylvania where the most money is being spent right now by both sides, by tenfold. It's amazing the amount of money being spent there. Allentown, a working class town. I learned today from Brian Kilmeade, and if you're a Billy Joel fan, you'll probably hate me after this.

I never heard of his song Allentown, but he has a song about Allentown, about a working class town. Well, Allentown, as I visited, is indeed the quintessential working class town. And it is 54% Hispanic, because as you all know, Hispanics are the heart of the working class. And when I went there and stood outside of a grocery store and interviewed people coming in and out, they are outraged by the cost of living. They can't believe what it costs to buy milk and eggs and meat and laundry detergent and all the things that you need to have a family and run your home. And one of the things that we don't talk about, because we talk a lot, Sean, we've had these conversations about the cost of bacon and the cost of eggs and the cost of meat.

One of the things we don't talk enough about is when a family is strapped because of the finances and they're struggling to figure out how to pay for the basics in the refrigerator, they're gonna struggle to pay for school supplies and they're gonna to struggle to pay for school supplies and they're going to struggle and frankly eliminate the things they really want for those their kids those extra the dance lessons the music lessons the soccer club um the field trip that the class is making at the end of the

year to go to an amusement park. They're going to have to cut somewhere or maybe even tell their child they can't go. They might not even sign their kid up for travel sports because they just can't afford the gas money to travel to the town next to them every other Saturday for a game. These are the things that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are stealing from American families and America's children. So here's the problem. You and I married, had one child right away, and didn't make a lot of money. I became a special prosecutor. We made more money.

It felt like a lot back then. But we kept having kids. And it was always hard to do a balance on what the kids could do, what we could buy the kids. We never bought name brand anything and still don't buy name brand anything. We're not those kind of people. But the stress that it causes in a marriage is real, trying to decide how you can spend your money and how you navigate your budget. That's the number one reason for divorce, Sean, is finances. And again, this is again an assault on the American family. That's stressful for kids.

Inflation. And so as you navigate as a couple, how you figured how you spend your money, which you and I know all too well because we spent a lot of years doing that. But then also you get this list from school. And it's from Kleenex to glue to different kinds of glues to scissors to papers to folders to pens to pencils to erasers. The list is so long and it's expensive. And so now we know that parents, as they get those back-to-school lists, this, by the way, take aside the clothes for kids to go back to school because this is usually the time that parents will go, okay, I'm going to upgrade my kid's wardrobe as they go back to school. And the kids, Sean, have the expectation, right?

You remember the first day of school and the first week of school wanting to wear your nice new things. Right. But again, you now have parents saying, what do I have to give up? What can I cut back on? Where can I save dollars to make sure that I have the money and the resources just to get the supplies for back to school? But then also, if I'm going to get my child some clothes to start school, how do I navigate that? And if you have one child, one thing, but if you have two or three kids, it becomes a lot of money and it's truly stressing out the

American family. And again, that's why families need to say, hey, listen, there's a lot of things I care about. But if I can't navigate back to school supplies, I want a president or a presidential candidate to talk to me about what they're going to do to make things better and i mean by the way with 35 trillion dollars in debt joe biden has spent trillions of dollars in the inflation reduction act that didn't didn't reduce inflation it was a green new deal and then infrastructure and then additional covet money tons of cash went out the door. And I think at one point you go, did I get any of that money? Am I seeing new roads and bridges?

And like, how did that help me? It helped a lot of his rich friends. Those who are well tied into the Democrat Party made a lot of money off those massive government programs. But on the flip side of that, I'm paying for higher prices because of inflation, because of all Joe Biden spending. But what benefit did I get? The American middle class is just a loser with Joe Biden, which is also Kamala Harris, because she believes in the same policies. And so it's fair for you to ask, what are you going to do differently to make sure that I can afford to live in this country with a decent salary? And a lot of times it's two parents that are working trying to survive that are having a hard time paying their rent and putting gas in the car. And then you look at the people who carry a balance on their credit card, the interest rate's gone up.

If you needed a new car, the interest on your car loan has gone up. If your rent, your rent's going up. Everything is more expensive and we can't afford the American dream any longer because, listen, Rachel, with Marxism, with socialism, these are always the results. It's never better. It's never more prosperous. You never have a more prosperous. You never have a more prosperous country, never have a more prosperous, well-off middle class with socialism or communism. You always get more poverty. You always get more despair, right? You always have a greater divide between the rich and the poor with these policies. And it's these policies that history would dictate. This is what you get when you have a Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or a Barack Obama pushing this stuff on the American people. And it's a great promise.

The promise is wonderful, but the result is something far different than the promise that's made. So when I was in Allentown, Sean, some of the stories I heard from people were, you know, the guy who owned the barbershop said tips were higher when Donald Trump was in office. The guy who owned a jewelry store said everyone's buying on layaway. Nobody buys in cash anymore. They're buying on credit card. Moms coming out of the grocery store told me, I'm always turning off all the lights all the time. I'm paranoid about it.

I'm kind of a little light Nazi, turning off lights everywhere because our electricity bill is so high. I like her. I feel like I'm the light Nazi. I know she told her she should marry you. I told her she should marry you. Come on. And then all the moms said, we're having to get so creative with leftovers and trying to use like every last can of, of whatever I have in the house because it's just, our dollars is just so much. And then I had men and women saying, I'm hustling to get an extra job, you know, after, after my own job, just to make ends meet. job just to make ends meet. I really, what bothers me so much about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is that this cosplaying that somehow they're in touch with the middle class, that somehow because Tim Walz, you know, goes hunting and puts on a camo hat that he's in touch with real Americans.

You can't be in touch with real Americans who have to tell their kid, I'm sorry, honey, I can't sign you up for dance this year. We just can't afford it. And as you said, Sean, it gets worse the more kids, if they have two, three, four kids being able to afford all these different extra activities. But those extra activities, Sean, that's what makes being a parent so fun, right? Just to be able to, to say, I'm going to, I have a child who has a talent in music where she's an amazing dancer. I want to make sure that I, I give her that, that extra leg up, you know, and figuring out what her dream is going to be. You know, I just don't think that anyone who, you know, who proposes cutting American energy, you know, harnessing American businesses with from, you know, by

over-regulating them and making sure they can't employ more people or grow. All the things they're doing are so predictably going to hurt American families. And by the way, Sean, when all these kids don't sign up for dance class or soccer camp, whatever it is that they're doing, that means that the people who provided those services also don't have that money to provide for their families. It's just a spiral down into exactly what you said, socialism. It always ends this way. It's a cascading impact on the economy. And so, again, I hope the American people demand answers from Kamala and Tim. They demand that they lay

out policies to address these problems, because if they're not addressed, they're almost on automatic pilot right now. These policies have been so embedded into- We know their policies, Sean. Their policies are Joe Biden's policies. We know they don't have to- They're Joe Biden's policies. But then the words should have to come out of their mouth. They should have to say them, because they were asked those questions. And I think we demand that of our press. They should be asked those questions. They should have to lay it out. 70 seconds out of an airplane. If you can't lay it out and you're a word salad, well, we should be able to consider that as well. But right now, we are on automatic pilot. These progressive liberal ideas have become so embedded in our

government that we're going to need radical change to get them out. Donald Trump presents that change and is not afraid to have people dislike him because he's going to change the course of the country and their lives will be better for it, as we saw under the four years of his presidency. But again, I think it's important to talk about, like we have, the impact on the family, especially at a time when, again, you're looking at whether it's sports or back to school, whether it's supplies or clothing, what impact these policies have on the American people.

We understand it. And we think this should be a big part of the discussion as we go into this campaign. And again, Tim Walz, a faker. He is not a real man, not a real Midwestern man anyway. Maybe a real Berkeley man, maybe a real Manhattan man, but not a real Midwestern man anyway. Maybe a real Berkeley man, maybe a real Manhattan man, but not a real Midwestern man. So Rachel, I have to go do the bottom line, which by the way, is from 6 to 7 p.m. Eastern on Fox Business. I do it with Dag MacDowell. So if you don't check it out, you should. And if you can't, like DVR it or something, that'd be fantastic. But I do have to

run. And I want to thank you for joining us remotely, Rachel. I wish I was at the kitchen table with you. I'm here at Fox. But I always enjoy doing these Q&As on Friday.

Enjoy your family and your kids before they go back to school or your grandkids before they go back to school.
