slash rightsizesavings for full details. 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. Wow, I feel like I'm getting introduced to the WF for some sort of monster truck event. Monster mom, monster truck. Monster mom. Some days I am monster mom. Anyway, listen, this has been an incredible week and I don't think we can overstate everything that's happened. charges to land him in jail for the rest of his life. And, you know, and then at the same time, this major story is obscuring an even bigger story that no one wants to talk about in the mainstream media, which is that we are now getting closer and closer to confirming what we've all known, that Joe Biden was the big guy, that he was getting bribes from foreign governments. In this case, what's come out is a form from the FBI that had a very credible source for the FBI

who says that Joe Biden got, he got $5 million and his son got $5 million. And now it's coming out that this informant says they have tapes of not just Hunter Biden, 15 Hunter Biden tapes, and I think two or three other tapes with Joe Biden. And they seem to indicate that these tapes, the ones from Joe Biden, reveal that he helped his son get the $80,000 a month job at Burisma. This thing stinks to high heaven. Burisma. This thing stinks to high heaven. And Sean, we can't forget that Donald Trump was impeached for saying, hey, Vladimir Zelensky or whatever his first name is, you need to look into this corruption. We're giving you money. We understand there's a lot of corruption with the Biden family. And he was impeached for that, for saying that because they said he was withholding money or threatening to withhold money to Ukraine for that. Right. So Donald Trump was indicted for having classified information that he says he

declassified. It's a document dispute. However, Joe Biden has classified documents, hasn't been prosecuted. Mike Pence had classified documents, not prosecuted. Bill Clinton had classified documents, not prosecuted. Hillary had lots of classified information. A server with classified documents, so it wasn't secure that Chinese could steal that information off her server. And they did. They can't steal the information out of the boxes at Mar-a-Lago. Big differences. No one prosecuted, but they want to put Donald Trump, because they hate him so much, they want to put him in prison for the rest of his life. And then just one other point. Or at least smear him enough to where already a lot of the rhinos and the Republican Party and a lot of people on the left say, prison for the rest of his life. And then just one or at least smear him enough to where you're

already a lot of the rhinos and the Republican Party and a lot of people on the left saying just the fact that he was indicted is enough. He's not qualified to run. So they're trying to either take him off the field by putting him in jail or in the very least make him seem on not electable, but like not worthy of running because he's been indicted. At the same time, Donald Trump's poll numbers continue to go up because people see the injustice of the way the FBI and the DOJ treat not just Donald Trump, but Republicans compared to Democrats. And by the way, Joe Biden, and just one other point. Yes, there's evidence that video audiotapes exist. So Burisma willing to pay Hunter Biden $80,000, $83,000 a month.

They're not the most pristine organization. They were accused of corruption. So you're kind of dealing with some seedy people anyway. Yeah. You shouldn't be surprised that they actually recorded conversations with Hunter and with Joe. Why doesn't the FBI want to go get those tapes? But not only that, there's information that's come out that there's folks at Burisma that will actually give the documents of where the money went to what accounts, what Biden accounts did the money from

Burisma go, making the forensic audit that much easier. It's easy already for the FBI. They refuse to do it, but that much easier for the FBI. And the reason this information is so important is that the public is learning of Joe Biden's corruption from the Congress, from the FBI being forced to provide this 1023 form to them. But we're learning also that the FBI has been, well, at best, dragging its feet, at worst, basically covering up for Joe Biden. Covering up, not investigating, because that's the other piece of the puzzle. What did Joe Biden do and what did the FBI not do? That's right. They're not investigating. They're spending a lot of time looking for white supremacy out there or going after Donald Trump, but not doing their job with a situation with a president, a sitting

president right now, Joe Biden, who is potentially compromised by not just Ukraine, because remember, Representative Comer said, there are tons of these deals with the Russians, with the Chinese, with the Romanians, lots of stuff going on. Can I make one question for you? So when the last election was going on we all were like it seems like twitter and facebook and google are censoring us and we couldn't prove it but i'm like my common sense would tell me that our information is not being elevated it's actually being suppressed and liberal through algorithms yeah promoted and we knew it and now we have information because of

elon musk he's exposed yes the Twitter files, the federal government was putting pressure on us and we were willful, willfully compliant to actually censor conservatives. We knew it. Now we know it's true. The same thing is true with the FBI and the DOJ. We know what they're doing. We know it's political. We know there's a political movement afoot in a department and a bureau that's supposed to be blind with justice. I think one day it's going to be like Twitter files. We're going to find out actually how political the FBI and the DOJ actually were over the last six years. And then the American people are going to demand reform and change. And by the way, the censorship. You're not wrong, though. Your senses are right of the politics within. No, everything you thought was a conspiracy is coming true or has come true. And that censorship you saw, Sean, with the FBI, the media, of course,

carrying water as well. We saw Jake Tapper chastising his own company... His control room. His control room for showing footage of Donald Trump, who had left his indict company, his control room, his control room for showing footage of Donald Trump, who had left his indictment, went down to the famous Versailles restaurant. She'd been at, right? Which I've been to. I've done diners with Fox and Friends at the Versailles restaurant. And it's a Cuban restaurant known for having, you know, its customer base being Cuban. And of course, Cubans have seen this kind of corruption, keeping, you know, your

political opponents, throwing them in jail so you don't have to run against them and you don't have to be challenged. So very clever move. Donald Trump goes there. These people love him. They don't want that kind of communism and Marxism here in the United States, that level of corruption. And they love on him. and he buys them all breakfast. And Jake Tapper says, take that off. He's yelling at his control arm because somehow it's dangerous for the American people to see that what they think is crazy un-American is being confirmed by the visual images of other Americans, in this case, Cuban Americans, saying, yeah, we've seen this before. We're going to fight with you. And they don't want to show that anyone supporting Donald Trump, when in fact, you don't even have to be a Donald Trump supporter to see how bad this is, that this

was a dark, dark week in American history. It was. And also the fact that the real story of the corruption, they use this indictment and the timing of this indictment to not put the focus where it should be, which is on our corrupt president. Well, let's bring in our daughter, Evita Duffy. She is a writer for The Federalist. I just saw you on this morning, Evita. You were on Stuart Varney's show on Fox Business talking about this very subject and trying to sort of bring some context to it. You're saying this is explosive. This is a turning point in our country. Yeah, absolutely.

This is this is a crazy story. Daddy kind of laid it out a little bit in the beginning. But we have this FD 1023 FBI form that is partly redacted for no reason whatsoever. that is partly redacted for no reason whatsoever. This is an unclassified document that the FBI is hiding from the American people and from Congress that has this redacted section that talks about this Burisma executive owning 17 audio files, 15 with Hunter Biden, two with then-Vice President Joe Biden, and also redacted, it's saying that this is what Chuck Grassley is saying is in this form. Joe Biden was orchestrating his son's job

at Burisma on that on the the executive board. So this is an explosive story. And more than just that, beyond just the Bidens being embroiled in a bribery scandal, you have the FBI not only not investigating it, but they're also hiding it from the American people and from Congress. An unclassified document, and Daddy, you were a congressman, so you'd know this, has no business being redacted from, let alone from the American people, but let alone members of the House Oversight Committee. Can you even explain that to us? How does the FBI have the power to do that? So it's a really good question. So you have two things at play. One, the FBI can say, we have a pending investigation, and therefore, Congress, we can't give you this document. Well, there's no pending investigation against Donald Trump. The other thing they would say is, well,

that's classified. Well, this document's not classified. But the third thing they would say is, we can't give you the full document because we don't want to reveal our sources and methods. And sources and methods is a way for them to basically put up a front and a spokesman not to give it to you. Well, to your point, Evita, when you talk about what information is in the 1023, that there's audio tapes of Hunter and Joe Biden, that has nothing to do with sources and methods. It's being redacted just so the Congress and the American people don't know that there's this information really. I mean, Joe Biden and Hunter Biden on tape with this criminal enterprise. They don't want the American people and the Congress to know that because, again, the follow up question is, well, FBI, what did you do to investigate it? Did you go get the tapes? Do they exist? Have you looked at the bank accounts? And I think the FBI doesn't want that question because the answer would be, no, we've done nothing. We haven't investigated Hunter and Joe Biden

because we've spent all our time investigating Donald Trump in regard to his boxes of classified or non-classified information that were being protected by the Secret Service at Mar-a-Lago. Can you imagine Evita being Donald Trump who was impeached over asking Zelensky to look at just can you look into this thing? We've been getting some word that there's some really shady stuff going on between Hunter Biden and Burisma and Joe Biden. And this stupid guy, this veteran Vindman, you know, leaked this conversation. And he was at the NSA at the time. And because of that, he was able to spark this impeachment. And now it turns out you've been vindicated by what

Vindman said. I mean, it's just you just want to lose your mind. Honestly, I don't know how he keeps going. It's it's incredible what what they've done to this man. I mean, they hate him because he was willing to say what other people were not. And he was willing to go after not just Democrats, but also the Republicans who have been bad actors and neocons and throwing us into these horrible wars and making these money-making schemes with countries, corrupt countries like Ukraine. This is a man who has been after bad actors on both sides of the political aisle and people hate him. And I think the American people are really waking up to this. I saw it was a poll. I think that about two weeks ago it came out where it was said that the majority of Americans and including almost 50 percent of Democrats don't believe that Russia collusion was real.

They think it was a hoax and they don't believe that the Hunterusion was real. They think it was a hoax. And they don't believe that the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation, which these are two stories that the FBI tried to force on all of us and that the corporate media ran with in an embarrassing fashion. So the American people have completely lost confidence in the corporate media and in the deep state.

And this is just one more example of their their ploy to get Trump into side with with the the party candidates that they prefer and to weaponize their power against those they don't like. And now people are completely waking up. They know what's going on. And it's going to be really bad for them, because I think you guys mentioned that they're talking about that Trump is is, you know, they're trying to make him an unelectable candidate. There's a lot of people that are probably going to be casting revenge votes after this. Oh, definitely. But Sean, the Democrats, the media, the deep state, they are trying to pick the Republican candidate. So they 100% are trying to at least make Donald Trump a non-viable option for Republicans.

But here's the dirty secret. When you can attack and demonize and villainize a Republican candidate, make them unacceptable, it's a strategy that's worked. Democrats and the media and big tech, they did it to Donald Trump. They did it somewhat to John McCain and to Mitt Romney and to George Bush. So every Republican candidate should recognize that what they're doing to Donald Trump, they're going to do to me should I get the nomination, which is why I thought it was so great was not about, I'm here standing with Donald Trump. What he was doing was standing against the politicization of the FBI and the DOJ and how they're using the power of the justice system to go after political opponents. And it was brave of him. And I think he got a lot of credit with the conservative Republican voter for doing it.

And every single candidate should have been there because if it's not Donald Trump and they get the nomination, it will be them. And by the way, it'll be elevated even worse than Donald Trump. It's hard to imagine that it would be. But imagine the meshes, Sean, if every single one of them had been there, that would have been the story. We're united against the deep state, against this kind of weaponization of government. I have one more question to ask you before we move on to our next question with Evita. But this question is for you, Sean. The corruption scandal, and I keep wanting to get to it with Joe Biden, because I really believe that is the story that's impacting our lives the most right now.

Because I think there's a connection between what happened there with Burisma, the energy payoffs that the Bidens got, and the kind of money that's now flowing to the Ukraine for the Ukraine war, a war that, by the way, I just saw in the Daily Mail, Vladimir Putin's talking about nuclear weapons again. He deployed some nuclear arsenal over to, I believe, I'm going to get the country right here, to Belarus. That's what I was going to say, Belarus. And so these are some scary times. This war is not in our interest. But what is the money situation here? Well, listen, because so much money has gone to Ukraine and there hasn't been a great accounting on how the money has been used, again, one of the most corrupt countries in the world is Ukraine.

And so it's an opportunity with that much money falling into Ukraine for bad actors or business entrepreneurs like Hunter Biden to come in and figure out a way to access some of these billions of dollars that have flown into the country. And I think that's what you're seeing happen. And it goes to your point, too. Is the money going to Ukraine? Because Ukraine, whether it's Zelensky or or ministers, but people know that Joe Biden made money off of this deal with Burisma. And if he doesn't provide the aid, then therefore they're going to expose his corrupt behavior in the country when he was vice president. Right, that he's paying them off. That's a real possibility. He's paying them off. It's possible, I think, in my view, likely, he's paying them off for their silence and making sure they stay quiet on what they know about the corruption and the money that the Biden family has taken from Ukraine. And

you can imagine that these corrupt ministers and Zelensky himself are probably taking a cut off the top of, however, I think it's $120 billion plus. I also look at the, the, the FBI and it was so tragic with what they did to Donald Trump. The fact that they got away with it, right? No one really went to prison. No one was held to account. They morphed the criminal justice system into a political system to go after a sitting president. And nothing happened to any of them. Most of them are sitting on CNN or MSNBC as contributors. They're making money off the politics that they use with the power that we gave them. And so my fear is that they're not going to step back and recalibrate. They're going to be more aggressive to go, listen, we are above the law. We are untouchable. And we are the political kingmakers in this country. It's not you, the people. It's not the party. It's we at the FBI and the DOJ. We decide who has power. We decide who keeps power because we work within this,

you know, back room, dark space that we can leak out information on Donald Trump and we can put the lid on everything with regard to Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. They want to control the system. No question about it. We'll have more of this conversation

after this. Oh, interrupting their playlist to talk about defying gravity. Are we? That's right. Newton with a Bronco and Bronco sport gravity has met its match. Huh? Maybe that Apple hit me a little harder than I thought.

Yeah, you should get that checked out with standard four by four capability. Broncos keep going up and up. Now get up to $6,000 in rebates on eligible 2024 Bronco family models. Visit your Toronto area Ford store or Ford.ca. Evita, I want to move to another story. By the way, no small thing that we're talking about nuclear weapons and Ukraine war. I mean, you're a young woman.

This is mind-blowing that this isn't a top story either. This is like story number 12 of the day that these weapons were deployed to Belarus and that we're even talking in that language. It's frightening. language. It's frightening. This week or this past weekend, the White House celebrated Pride Month at the White House and at the Rose Garden. And one of the things that's come out of Pride Month at the White House is a TikTok video by a trans man, a man who now thinks he's a woman. What you see beyond the interaction at the Rose Garden with the president and the first lady, this man who has a top surgery, does not have bottom surgery, according to his TikTok account, but ends up dropping his top in the in the White House, holding his breasts, his new breasts and just really disgusting, irreverent behavior there.

In addition to that, Evita, there was a lot of controversy about the flag that was there was a pride flag hanging the same height as the American flag, which, as you know, is not supposed to do that. There's some sort of ordinance about that. Correct, Sean? The flag rules, the rules by which we fly American flags. We don't put the gay flag at the same height and in the middle of two American flags. I thought it was interesting. Joe Biden's talking about how brave you people are. Frankly, it's pretty brave to stand in front of the White House and pull your top down and your breasts out as a man. And then also you had women who had had vasectomies that had their breasts exposed as well.

I mean, this is complete. Who had had mastectomies. Whatever, whatever I said. You know what I meant. But it's interesting that this is the filth that comes out from the trans community and the disrespect that's shown to the White House. Evita, what are your thoughts on all this? Yeah, I mean, honestly, to tie this in with our last story, I think it's everybody should see the clip of Joe Biden in 2008 saying that he doesn't support gay marriage. in 2008 saying that he doesn't support gay marriage. And now here he is in 2023 waving,

having a giant pride flag in front of the White House and hosting transgenders on the White House lawn who are, you know, taking off their shirts. I mean, the disparity between these two Joe Bidens is extreme. And that, I think, is a real indicator that Joe Biden is not in this for policy. He doesn't care. He's letting radical crazies run the White House behind the scenes. He's just sort of in the middle, in the front, being the ploy, the figurehead of a president, but not really running anything. And he is willing to do that because his family, he and his family have made a lot of money from Joe Biden's political career. And the presidency is the epitome of that. I think if he's going to be, we're going to hear a lot more about what Joe Biden has made and will make once he leaves office. This is exactly what all of this is about. It's about money, has nothing to do with policy. And you can look at it just

from the differences between these, the two Joe Bidens. At one point, he didn't support gay marriage. Now he's hosting naked transgenders on the White House lawn. It's absolutely crazy. And trans people that and he and his remarks as well, advocating for the genital and chemical castration of children, trying to shroud it in some sort of civil rights or human rights issue. And, you know, these are permanent changes to children that they'll never be able to recover from using these children to push this ideology. It's very, very troubling. One of the things that we've seen, Evita, is that as we, you know, the Biden family gets rich from this, but the country keeps getting worse for all of this ideology, the way it's being pushed in schools, the way, you know,

we talked about a video last week where the kids looked totally demoralized as they walk into their school with, you know, pride flags everywhere and the teachers dressed in pride rainbow uniforms. Happy Pride Day. Happy Pride Day. And the kids are like looking at it like, what the heck? Another video came out this week with a teacher trying to show a pride movie to the kids. And the kids were like, groaning, another pride movie. Why are you showing this to kids, they said. And then there was this rebellion in another school where the kids said, we don't want to be known by pronouns. Our pronoun is USA. Our pronouns are USA. There's a backlash against it, which was really refreshing to hear because we can't unite under the pride flag.

We should unite under the American flag, right? One other point, too. Our school systems have a long history of saying, if we're going to celebrate Christmas and you're not a Christian or your family doesn't want you to celebrate Christmas, you're able to exclude yourself from those celebrations. You better not opt out of pride month. You can't opt out of pride month. You can't even opt out. I mean, you may opt out of school over the 4th of July, but you can opt out of all kinds of things that you disagree with or aren't part of it's not part of your culture and there's a lot of straight kids are like i okay it's pride month but i'm not i i don't i'm not here to celebrate it and it's being forced on them and

they're being forced to celebrate it and something that made they may completely disagree with um but it's about indoctrination. Evita? Yeah. Yeah. I saw this really funny meme today where it was this teacher saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the pride flag. And she looks back and one of the students is kneeling like they did with the American

president at BLM. And then the teacher gets really mad. And then I saw this. This is another thing I want to bring up. I saw this video. This is in Canada. A teacher was berating a Muslim student who refused to participate in the pride festivities. And she was yelling at the student saying, we celebrated you in Ramadan, but in pride month, you're going to exempt yourself. That's not what you do in Canada. We're a free

country here in Canada and you have to support everyone. That's what she said. She said, we're a free country, so you have to support Pride Month. It was the most bizarre, most crazy statement she's ever made. And I think, you know, we look at this and we're seeing people have this sort of visceral reaction finally to Pride Month, which has become state-sponsored degeneracy, really, is what it is. You saw that at the White House. Why are they doing this to our kids? And you sent me this amazing article last week about what they did in Hungary during the, in the Soviet Union, when they, when they had the, the department head of education say, we need to sexualize children and remove them from their

religion and from their parents. That's the way that we will usher in political change. We have to get the kids. And that's how you hasten the revolution. And Evita, some people have been starting to, in even non-aggressive ways, push back. And you brought to my attention this incredible man, Ross McKnight. He's a homestead Catholic farmer in Louisiana. You wrote about him. I ended up having him on Fox and Friends weekend where I interviewed him. But why don't you lay out the story of Ross McKnight and what people face when they decide to not be silent about this new liturgical calendar where we're all supposed to bow down and forcibly celebrate Pride Month in June. Yeah, the Ross McKnight story is just, it's horrible and it's wonderful at the same time. So

I'll explain. He's a Catholic father of five. He's in Louisiana. He owns a foie gras farm. What's foie gras for those who don't know? It's duck liver. It's a very fancy dish, French dish that he produces. He has a lot of very rich restaurants that are his patrons. He has a lot of very rich restaurants that are his patrons, but he usually on his Instagram account posts commemorations for Catholic feast days. And for one of them, he did a post for the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which rosary, and to read my recent blog post about the importance of the Sacred Heart, and to buck this new attempted coup of the month of June

by pride. We should celebrate humility this month, not pride. And that message, which was really focused on the Sacred Heart with a sort of secondary thing to say, hey, and this is a false holiday. We should really be focusing on Christ this month. That enraged a lot of people in New Orleans who are his patrons. So a couple hours, he said, after he got after he made this post, he was getting calls from people canceling the orders, two of which were his biggest patrons that had committed orders throughout the summer months. So he had all these ducks and all this liver that he heard, duck liver that he was supposed to be sending off that now he didn't have anybody to send them to.

So he lost two thirds of his business overnight for making a post supporting the sacred heart of Jesus. And I did a Federalist article about this. I interviewed him. This man is one of the most incredible people I've ever spoken with. When I asked him, I tried to figure out how dire is this financial situation. He said, you know, I've lost you. There's my business. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm really happy. I'm happy to be suffering for the sacred heart of Jesus and to have this opportunity to do what I

can. And I thought, and this is, I'm sure you guys also feel this way as well. It's my job to talk about politics. It's my job to write. It's my job to say what other people can't say. This is somebody who's really courageous, who put his whole livelihood on the line. He's a father of five. He has a family to provide for. And he said, none of that is as important as me being a witness to my faith and standing up for truth.

And I thought that was really beautiful. We'll have more of this conversation after this. At New Balance, we believe if you run, you're a runner, however you choose to do it.

Didn't he say that he's, I'm going to embrace my cross and this is my cross and I'll embrace it and God will take care of me. Yeah. Total trust in Providence. Yeah. It's, it's interesting Evita because we've been talking a lot about Target and the agenda they're pushing with trans and pride and sort of putting it into the children's section. And Chip and Joanne, a Christian family, have products, a product line, Magnolia, that they sell, and they have chosen to be silent. Now, you could say, well, Chip and Joanne have a lot to lose, right, because they have a big fortune, but they also have a lot of money where they could stand to lose income and take a stand. I frankly think this was a bad move for them. I think they could have ingratiated themselves to so many of their customers who have felt censored and felt alienated by this movement that,

you know, tells them that they're transphobic if they don't agree with the castration of children and so forth. But I think that their Hollywood connections and their sort of popularity in the mainstream popular culture, they knew that they would get, you know, canceled by all the Hollywood types. And so they've chosen silence. And yet here is this man who has so much to lose because he had so little, especially relative to the Gaineses, the Joanna and Chip Gaineses. He's not in the private chat space like the Gaineses. No, heck no. And yet he was willing to stand up and say something now since you wrote that article and i did the interview with him on fox and friends which you can read of it his article on the federalist which is wonderful and you can go to my facebook page

to see the video and he really is a remarkable man um i think a lot of people have actually gone to his website because i tried to go in and buy some stuff and a lot of stuff is sold out. I went to his website. It's called Backwater Foreground. Yes. And so I went there and it must have been a couple of stories. People said, you know, maybe instead of giving someone money on one of these, what's one of the sites called? Give, Send, Go.

We're just going to buy from him. And I would. And again, he was sold out of a lot of stuff. And I imagine he got a big hit of people coming through because of the press. But he's going to need people to help him out as he gets into the summer and the fall. And I hope people don't forget this family who are standing for their faith against the woke mob to say, let's let's actually support good people who are doing good things, voting with our dollars. Again, it's Backwater. And if you're not fancy enough to know the French spelling of foie gras. I am not. Foie gras is spelled F-O-I-E. Next word is gras, G-R-A-S, Backwater foie gras. I guess if you're from Louisiana, that's just, you know, common knowledge.

But it is an artisanal product I've had for a while. I love it. But it is a very high end product. And it was significant that these upscale restaurants. Another interesting part of the story, Sean, is that so here's this guy and the backstory of him is so fascinating. He is a native Louisiana son with like hundreds of years of, you know, history in the Louisiana area, because the Catholics from whom he descended were kicked out of, I guess, England, and they came to Louisiana. And so he has a really deep history and they keep these traditions alive. So he is a true native son of Louisiana. The people launching the boycott on his little homestead, you know, enterprise are these transplants. These are chefs that left L.A. or New York and now they want to be Louisiana. And

they they're just liberals or transparent're transparent liberals and they are launching economic warfare on him, trying to destroy his business, have no idea about the history, the traditions, the faith of the Louisiana people. No, he's a very devout Catholic, Catholic man. I think he has five kids. He didn't have a set of principles by which the chefs had to abide by before he'd sell them. He didn't have a litmus test. I'm just going to sell my product. I'm going to lead my life, live my life, and I'll sell to those who want to buy, which frankly is what it should be. The left is forcing us into a different form of economics and capitalism

where you have to vote with your dollar. Yeah, that is interesting. Evita? Yeah, absolutely. I was going to mention another little part of this story. One of his first little stands against this pride mob was he had, he's part of a farmer's market association. Of course he is. He's a farmer.

So the association that organizes the farmer's market put out a pride statement. organizes the farmer's market, put out a pride statement. And he emailed them and he said, hey, can you guys take that down? Because it seems like it's a reflection of all of the vendors, and I don't agree with that statement. And they said no. And so he said, okay, well, I can't not sell my products. I can't just exempt myself from the farmer's market. But what I can do is I'm going to put a little sign in front of my store that says, celebrates humility. This was to buck the pride, the pride statement. But I just, I think little things like that are so helpful and so brave for what we're doing for regular people, right? Because all three of us can say and think and do whatever we want because it's kind of our job. What really makes

a difference is when the rest of us all stand against this coup of the month of June, which is what he said and how he put it perfectly. And even more importantly than that is talking to your kids about it because the pride fanaticism was not around when I was in elementary school. And I was in elementary school not that long ago, right? I mean, I'm, you know, Gen Z-er, but an older Gen Z-er. The pride and leftism and critical theory that's indoctrinating children that are in elementary, middle school, high school right now

is completely different than what I had not that long ago. And so you have to be having conversations with your kids. And better yet, if you can pull your kids out of school, pull them out. My husband and I have talked about it. We're homeschooling. I'm not doing it unless I can find a really great school like the ones that you guys send your kids to.

Evita would be a great homeschool teacher. You would be an amazing home. She is so good. No, I'm telling you, she is so good in history. She understands. She has such achooling. No, I'm telling you, she is so good in history. She understands. She has such a great memory for all this stuff. By the way, can I tell you one of the things he said that I thought was such a beautiful quote from the interview that you had with him? He said, when you asked him, like, why would you risk it all, right?

Here you have this homestead, little farm, little tiny business, so much to lose. And he said, this is Ross McKnight, if we don't stand here on the last assault of the family, then there's no more ground left behind us. And boy, that just hit me right in the heart. And you're right. We all get paid to give our opinions. It's not that hard, really hard to do what he did. But Sean, you always talk about the way courage begets courage. Yes, right. And this is a story that I think we're talking about some animosity towards Pride Month. If people are living their lives and living them the way they see fit, so be it. Agreed.

Leave me alone and let me live my life the way I see fit. And I think the rejection we're having to Pride Month is there's this push that we have to live our lives differently. We have to believe something different than what we actually do believe. And it's the force by which they're trying to put this on our community, which I think gives us the rejection. And it does come back to kids. And the fact that our school systems were made for math, science, English, to actually educate children. And now we've seen the move to say, no, we're going to indoctrinate them. We have certain themes that we want these kids to believe in. Pride, gay, trans is one of them.

Anti-gun is another. Global warming, the world's going to end in 12 years is another. Capitalism is bad and socialism is good. These are concepts that are political concepts that don't belong in the school system, but they have co-opted the schools to now feed and pollute the minds of our little kids, which is why the rejection is happening. There's not a rejection of people living their lives and celebrating their lives the way they see fit. We're like, leave me the flip alone. Get out of my life. Let me live the way I see fit. And

that is the rejection of June and pride. Well, and they took God out of the schools and everyone said, OK, I guess it should all just be non-religious. Then they brought in this new religion, climate change, gender ideology. I wanted to say that there's a lot of doublespeak that happens in the left when they talk about all of these issues. They say, well, you don't want children to be sensitive towards others that maybe have moms. You don't want them to know about other races and our history of slavery. That's not what's happening. You're totally right that this is an ideology, Dad.

This is a political ideology. And the problem is, unlike legal adults who are in college, young children can't decipher between ideology and truth. They need adults to tell them what is and isn't real. So you can't have there's no marketplace of ideas for seven year olds. It doesn't exist. They're told something and they believe it. And that and we also to talk about why pride is not just a lifestyle that some people have that we might not agree with. This is identity politics, which the left is using to usher in cultural Marxism. We have, throughout history, they've used class to usher in these revolutions. Now it's based on race, sex, and sexual orientation, they need us to buy into this in order to usher in other policies and other,

and in this political revolution in our country. So I think to say that, oh, this is just a benign thing that we might not agree with lifestyle-wise, but that other parents can teach to their own kids, this is a bad ideology at its base. Pride is awful. Pride is a cultural Marxist coup that we have to subvert if we want to save this country. So we're talking about two different things. I think when you're saying it's being it's being forced on us by our government or forced on it by by corporate America, there's a movement that is this cultural Marxist movement. I think that's different than us saying, hey, listen, if you are a part of this community and you're going to live your life as an adult a certain way, so be it. That's different

than the cultural movement that you're talking about. And I'm saying, I think those two are very different things. Right. So, but what I'm saying is they won't tell you that they're different. So, they use doublespeak and they and they say the same thing and just sort of the excesses of pride that have come out this whole month that people are finally speaking out on and boycotting against. I had several of my very dear, close gay friends text me and say, I hate Pride Month. I call it, one of them said, I call it Shame month because this has, and I will say they're generationally, they're my age. So they're Gen X gay men that have written me about this and have basically said, I'm embarrassed of what's happening here.

I don't relate to this. When I joined the gay rights movement, it was because I wanted to be just like you. I wanted us to be indistinguishable, just be Americans. I wanted the same rights and the same love and respect as everybody else. I'm not standing with this trans stuff. It doesn't relate to me. I wish it wasn't connected to the LGBT movement. I wish that it wasn't being forced on kids. I don't stand with this. There is a generational divide between older, sort of middle-aged, my age, and older gay men and women. And what they see, and you saw this group called Gays Against Groomers has come up, and Twitter has tried to suppress them as well, pre-Elon Musk. But what are you hearing about that? Because it seems like the gays and the gay ally groups who are your generation are all in on the trans stuff and the gender ideology.

And why they are because of what's happening in schools. I mean, they they have completely co-opted this the the gay movement from the 1980s and 90s that sort of had its emergence coinciding with AIDS. And they now made it something completely different, mostly targeted at children. So I like that you brought up like this.

We just want to be adults and lead our lives the way we want to. Instead, it's now, no, we're fighting for the right to have children be, have their genitals mutilated and give them cross-sex hormones that will have long-lasting effects on their mental and physical well-being.

This is not the same thing at all. And they are putting people's children's lives at risk, really, with this, because they're not old enough to consent to any of these surgeries, to consent to any of the hormones. We don't let people who are under the age of 18 do a whole lot of things. But suddenly now you can make this life-altering sex change. There's no way that that's reasonable or long-term. Science is dead in America, whether it was with COVID, whether it was the global warming. Now it's with regard to people being able to actually change their sex. We're going to tell little kids or anybody that that's a possibility.

The fact is you cannot. In the surgeries, if you see the videos and the pictures of the surgeries, it's horrific, the mutilation that happens to someone's body to make them try to look like the opposite sex, it doesn't work. And they can't be something other than what God made them. And it's shocking. It's also evil to make a child try to question their gender or sexuality when they're little and should be playing and learning about reading and writing. I was not thinking about that at all. I totally agree. I was just being a kid. This is not normal content in subjects for a young child to be pondering. It's not normal and it's pushed on

them by really abusive adults. Yeah, it is definitely robbing kids of their childhood innocence, which I believe they're entitled to. I just want to hit one more point here, which is, is it possible that the solution, besides all of us talking about exposing the stuff that you said, Sean, these Frankenstein experiments and surgeries on children, the things that you're bringing up, the TikTok videos that frankly are enlightening all of us to what's going on. But could it be that the group that will save us from this radical, at least the trans side of this cultural revolution, are Gen X gay men and women? That if more of them continue to come out and speak out and really start to redefine what is gay rights and what is this

radical crazy stuff that none of us agree on. Could it be that Gen X gay men, the ones that are, you know, writing me, texting me, are they the ones who will ultimately save us from this, I don't know, this spell that it feels like our country is under? I don't think so. I mean, I think that's certainly going to help. Honestly, my hope for the future is the moms out there. I've been really interested in Moms for Liberty and the way that they are exposing what's happening to our children in schools and at public libraries.

That to me, those are the real people that I see standing up and fighting this is moms, to be honest. I'm happy if the Gen X or boomer gays want to join. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic for Gen X. Right. No, I mean, if they want to help out, that's awesome. I love it. I've honestly, the most I've seen from any demographic of people is moms whose children are being targeted by this because they have, they're the ones who are mama bears who have a lot to lose and who really love and care about their children. Yeah. There were a lot of dads too. And I was going to point that out. A lot of dads. Remember that dad that got dragged out of that school board meeting? Loudoun County. Yes. Well, I'm just going to say Father's Day is coming up, which I know you're not going

to forget about, Evita. And dad's in this as well. I think you're, it's nice to be hopeful that Gen X gays, and as Evita tries to meld the two together, Gen X and boomer gays.

Yeah, I'm not a boomer. I don't like boomers. Okay, boomer. I do think like boomers. Okay, boomer. Boomers ruined America. It's Hillary and Bill Clinton. It's going to be families, number one, that can get their kids out of the school system and get them into a school system that does what we did 50, 80 years ago, which actually educates kids. There's that, but also it's going to be governors. 50, 80 years ago, which actually educates kids. There's that, but also it's going to be governors.

Governors across this country who say, you know what? I know it's hard to afford a classical education or a private school. We are going to give you your money back and you get to choose a school that works for you. And once the teachers union and the school systems don't have a co-op on our kids any longer and parents can choose, they're going co-op on our kids any longer.

And parents can choose. They're going to get their kids flipping out of there. They go, listen, I do not want this. Remember when you told me the other day, Sean's like, if everyone got their money back, right? Their education dollars for their kids, they could choose to go everywhere they want. And if you want to have a pride school and that's where you want to send your kid have at it there's your lgbtq plus i don't honestly i don't care but don't trap kids whose parents don't want them to be there inside of that pride school this works only because it's a trap yes force and funnel every child

through this indoctrination and if you can stop that and governors are starting this, let the kids out. You take all the power away from the teachers union and these wokesters that are inside and embedded in the school system. And the other part of this is you got to change the laws in your state. So you should be able to teach Spanish or economics at a charter school, even though you don't have an education degree. Because I have a degree in economics and I have a minor in Spanish. I speak Spanish. Spanish or economics at a charter school, even though you don't have an education degree. Because I have a degree in economics and I have a minor in Spanish. I speak Spanish. I can do that. I could teach government. I was a congressman. Yeah, you're you could just think about that. Nine years in Congress, but and a lawyer,

but he cannot go teach government in fifth grade because they have a licensing system that is, you know, long and complicated. And he would basically have to go back to college. And they indoctrinate the teachers. The teachers' colleges are horrendous. So the accreditation and the teachers' colleges are awful. Oh, that's such a great component, Sean. And so you actually have to cut them out, those radicals, and let good, smart people come in and teach. So it's one, give the parents the money, and then let teachers who are well-informed on these topics, maybe they have to take a two-day tutorial on how to build a lesson plan or some basic skill sets, do a Zoom conference for two days, whatever, but then let them in the classroom.

And I think you're going to find the results of that far greater than what you get in with these, with a lot of these dumb teachers that are indoctrinated socially that are going into the school systems. I think Ron DeSantis did do something for veterans on that front. I believe he might've passed it or was working on it, that he was going to make it easier if you were a veteran to bypass that licensing crap and get into, you know,

teaching the schools, but you're right. It shouldn't be open to anybody. Why can't Sean Duffy was at nine years in Congress, be able to teach, you know, seventh grade government classes. I mean,

really there's some teacher out there who went to Madison university, Wisconsin, Madison, who knows more about government than Sean. Heck no. This will cut the woke movement, the commie camp for your kids. It'll cut them off at the knees.

And that's what you have to do. So listen, this is a conversation. She has one more thing she wants to say. I was just going to mention one thing that people should probably be aware of as well. The Washington Post last week did a hit job on homeschoolers, where they basically said that

if you homeschool your children, this is a ripe for abuse and educational neglect, which is an all out lie because homeschoolers do far better on testing than children at public schools, like 100%. So there's a hit job being done on homeschoolers and they're trying to say, let's either get rid of homeschooling or let's introduce universal standards, which is common core, which is the social emotional learning, which is all the things that you would remove yourself, your kids from school to avoid. Right. So just be aware that that might be coming down the pipe. Well, remember, in Europe, be worried about it. In Europe, they they actually in some places, I think Germany, they banned homeschooling. Homeschooling is a huge threat to the system. And yeah, they tried to use, Evita wrote a fantastic article about this on the Federalist, because what's happened is there was this controversy around the Duggar family and some, you know, bad stuff that has come out of that and basically the the washington post was trying to use the

duggar story which is a family issue to say this to indict homeschoolers to go this is why we're against homeschooling homeschooling you know encourage it somehow is linked to you know sexual molestation and and abuse and all this kind of stuff ev Evita exposes what a lie that is. So the Washington Post and New York Times, all of them have bought into the cultural Marxist movement and they're going to do everything they can to push back on anything that can threaten their indoctrination camp.

And that's what they're doing here. So to your point, Evita, recognize what it is. This is a threat to their transformation of America. And that's what they're doing. And fight back, push back. Get your kids educated in schools that match your values or in your home like you might do, Evita. Yeah.

Can I be part of Evita's homeschool? Yeah, I know. This is like news to us. We're talking about homeschooling. What's going on here? Fox News alert. Let's put a Fox News alert. Evita wants to be a homeschool mom. I like it. I'd like to join the homeschool that Evita is going to have with my future grandkids. Evita, you've had several great articles. I encourage everyone to read the article on Ross McKnight, the Homestead Catholic dad, who's now, I think, sparked a lot of... And his website again, backwaterfulgraw.com.

Yep. The article on the Duggars and the attack by the Washington Post. And also, Evita, you had a really good piece on masculinity. Really quick, what was the title of that one? On masculinity. Yes. Oh, yeah. masculinity really quick what was the title of that one on masculinity i'm yes oh uh oh yeah i forget the title but it was just basically that that there was this pedophile who would who basically

said who do i what how do i target kids and he targets them by looking at their fathers and looking at which ones wouldn't wouldn't be a threat so the the left's idea of toxic masculinity where they they say oh we should men should suppress their masculinity is actually what protects children from abusers from predators from pedophiles so that was what they found it will kick your ass exactly and those 45 or the ar yeah yeah predators definitely look for children who don't have a man in the home or have weak fathers um because they are very calculated in the way that they target children. That was an excellent piece as well. Thank you, Evita. All great stuff.
