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.
It's great to be back, Sean.
We have some really important conversations today. We're going to be talking about the war on women, but also the war on motherhood.
talking about the war on women, but also the war on motherhood. It's really gone next level.
Our corporations with their ESG and their virtue signaling are actually trying to,
I would say in some levels, cancel Mother's Day, but at least present it as potentially triggering to people. And we'll talk about what they're doing. And I think it has foundational,
civilizational implications, something we need to really fight back on.
So you really have to stay tuned for that one.
But before we go on to that, we're going to talk about something that Joe Biden said about your kids and my kids and who they belong to.
And we're also going to relate that back to the paternity case that Hunter Biden has with London Roberts, which is heating up and it's all playing into this.
It's so fascinating.
It's, I mean, I don't even know a telenovela on Telemundo
that is more juicy and corrupt and salacious than this.
So we're going to get into that.
It's hypocritical.
So Joe Biden says one thing to the public, but also in his family does something completely different. Let's listen to Joe Biden.
Talk about our kids and who they belong to. The teachers creed into words when she said,
there's no such thing as someone else's child. No such thing as someone else's child.
Our nation's children are all our children. As I often say,
you teachers hold the kite strings
to lift our national ambitions aloft.
You really do.
Imagine, imagine.
Our nation's children?
Is our nation's children?
Yeah, they're not your children, Sean.
They actually belong to the state.
And that's not a new thing.
I mean, you know, Vladimir Levin, I just pulled this quote up about Vladimir Lenin, famous for saying, give me just four years to teach the children.
And the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
You and I talk all the time about the whole purpose of the whole method behind what the left does is to separate your kids from your values, from your family.
And then they get this.
They get little activists.
The problem is that you might have different values than the state.
Right. And so if the child is yours and you have the freedom to raise the child the way you see fit, maybe as a Christian, maybe as a conservative, maybe well-educated, some little child that knows the Constitution, knows about the actual founders
of America and why they wrote the document, the Constitution, what that means for us and why
that's a great form of government. If that's what you want, Joe Biden, the Democrats, like, whoa,
whoa, no, no, no, no. We have power and control over your child.
And we have to indoctrinate these children to say, listen, free speech is bad.
Gun ownership is bad.
The climate is going to destroy the world.
And we have to have you as a little activist.
So when you have this separation of viewpoints, the government viewpoint and the family viewpoint,
Joe Biden steps in and go, well, you're not the parent. Actually, we're all the parents of your child, which is,
it is a shockingly frightening concept, I think, for most parents and Americans who love their
children. And you go back to rights. This is a fundamental right that we're able to raise our
children the way we see fit without Joe Biden interfering on us. And it's not, you know, I went all the way back to Lenin, but you can go back to Hillary Clinton
saying it takes a village. No, it doesn't take a village. It takes a family. It takes the village
when you have an orphan, when you have, you know, an extenuous circumstance. But when children have
parents, they don't need the state and we don't have to co-parent with them. But Mark, you know,
They don't need the state, and we don't have to co-parent with them.
But don't take these statements lightly.
This is what the teachers' unions stand for.
This is what they want.
This is why.
I mean, I walked into a school once, touring a public school, and I had someone at the school say, I like to say these are my kids.
And I was like, no, these are not your kids.
These are my kids.
And your job is to teach them reading and math, and I'll teach the values and the sex ed and everything else
So so that's that's an important thing for us to to keep in mind as we move forward one of the point on that that's that's how you get to the concept that if
You're questioning your sexuality for whatever reason and you you're thinking about making a transition
That's where the the the teachers, the school steps in and says,
well, you can do without the permission of your parent.
Because they're transphobic, and poor you, you're a victim.
But try and reverse this, Sean.
Imagine if there was a Christian teacher secretly baptizing children in the class.
What would happen then?
Oh, good grief.
But you can secretly transition a kid and put them on puberty blockers and on the path to castration and mastectomies.
But, yeah, imagine someone praying the Bible in secret with your child in a public classroom or, like I said, secretly baptizing them.
I will say, you know that when Obama was in office, my mom made me bring to the White House holy water in my purse to the Christmas party.
Do you remember that?
I do.
And I did secretly sprinkle holy water.
A lot of power in holy water, but it didn't do much to –
Yeah, we're bearing the fruits of all that because Obama is still in power.
And it goes to another point.
I mean you look at the books that they have in schools and not just high school and middle school, but in elementary school, they're talking about, and again, I hate to say this on our podcast, but it's true.
They're talking about sex.
They're talking about lubrication.
I mean, they are feeding on our children, feeding them concepts that any parent would be outraged by, and maybe to put it into my terms, it's like, it's not even like a playboy. Oh, no, it's far more graphic. This is like
Hustler. Yes. There's Hustler magazines in our elementary schools. And the left is like, well,
you're a book banner if you want to burn the Hustler, you know, so fourth graders can't see
them. Are you kidding me? Yeah, no, I don't want hustler with my kids in fourth
and fifth grade. I'm sorry. That's not cool. And I don't feel safe. And this is why we don't have
our kids in public schools. I don't feel safe with teachers who want to talk to my kids about sex.
If you want to talk to someone else's child about sex and get graphic in particular,
you should not be trusted with those children.
I don't feel comfortable with my children being in your...
In your care.
And speaking of someone that I don't feel comfortable with my children being around,
Joe Biden.
I mean, the sniffing, the weirdness, the touching of kids, that's weird as it is.
But think about for a second, Sean...
Or the allegations of sexual abuse that
happened when he was in the Senate. I mean, there's a whole litany of things that Joe Biden
has done or there's been accusations against Joe Biden that makes you scratch your head to go,
who is this guy? And does he have the morals and values that I want Joe Biden dictating
what my kids are going to see, read, do? Do I want Joe Biden raising my child? Hell no.
Well, Joe Biden is having a hard enough time raising his own grown-up child, Hunter Biden,
Sean. And I would say that what you're seeing here...
He didn't do well with that one.
No, there's definitely a problem. And that leads us to where we're at, this paternity case,
because I believe, and we're going to lay out this paternity case because it's fascinating
on all kinds of levels.
This is the Hunter Biden paternity case.
He had a child out of wedlock with a stripper, right?
Yeah, but she was a graduate student, which is a key component of this, Sean, because she's playing this very well in a way that I think might actually help the country.
But continue.
No, so he has this relationship with, maybe a one-night relationship with this stripper that he met at a D.C. club.
Her name is London Roberts.
London Roberts.
London Roberts gets pregnant, and this must be almost five years ago, and has a little baby.
And she names the baby Navy.
And Hunter Biden says, listen, this is not my baby.
London says, oh, yes, it is your baby.
And forces him into a paternity test, like the kind you see on Jerry Springer. That's right. They do a paternity test, a DNA test. And lo and behold, the father of little
Navy is... Indeed, Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden, right? Now, this is going to speak to, I think,
the cruelty of the Biden family, the callousness, I think, the lack of morals of the entire family,
because this isn't just a Hunter problem.
Hunter, you know, is a bad person who, you know, rejected.
I'm not going to say that he makes really bad choices.
I don't know what's in his heart.
And if you have a child now, listen, London Roberts has said on on record, she said that Hunter Biden, he has visitation rights.
Once the paternity was proven, he has visitation rights.
He has not availed himself of those visitation rights.
She said, quote, he couldn't pick his own daughter out in a lineup.
And he wants nothing to do with her because she is, to the Biden family, politically inconvenient.
In fact, part of the whole case was he was trying way back when his father was in the 2020 election to put all of this off because he didn't want this to interfere.
He and his family didn't want little baby Navy to interfere with the Biden image of them as this loving, great family, which we all know is a facade, is a lie.
This family is very strange, very weird. You alluded
to the showers with the daughter and the diary. This is a bizarre, morally corrupt family. And
again, you can say, Sean, that maybe Hunter, he has a lot of problems, drug problems. Maybe he
feels rejected. His brother died. His mother died. He has problems. What is the excuse for
the grandparents here?
The grandparents who, by the way, are telling you, Joe and Jill, who are telling you that your children are their children, are everybody else's children. How about taking care of your own
grandchild? How about bringing her into the fold? Why are you treating her? What are the circumstances of her conception have nothing to do with the
paternity of your son? I mean, and you and of you claiming her as your grandchild, I would love any
child regardless of their of the circumstances of their conception. If they are my grandchild,
I love that child. I'm going to bring them in regardless of how it looks politically.
And Sean, we saw a politically inconvenient pregnancy in the middle of a political I love that child and I'm going to bring them in regardless of how it looks politically.
And Sean, we saw a politically inconvenient pregnancy in the middle of a political presidential race with Sarah Palin.
That's right.
And they handled it damn different than this totally immoral family. I mean, Joe Biden says your children are my children, but my son's child has no place in America or in my family.
I mean, this little
Navy is such a pretty little girl, just adorable. And listen, she's four years old, and I feel bad
because she has no idea probably what's going on. She's an innocent child. An innocent child,
that's right. And the fact that she's being shoved away by her father and her father's family
is, to your point, disgraceful.
And you're right.
The Palin family dealt with this issue.
And, you know, Sarah Palin and Todd Palin said, listen, we have certain moral beliefs.
They ended up getting a divorce, I know, but they have beliefs.
They have a biblical view of the world.
They were conservatives.
And when this very thing happened to their daughter.
Well, their daughter got pregnant out of wedlock. I think she was like 17 or 18 at the time, right?
Yeah.
And they just said, they could have said, we're not going to bring her onto the stage. Of course,
they didn't do that. Not only did they bring her onto the stage, they love that child the same as
they love all their other grandkids.
That's right. They totally did. And again, that is an example of, you know, living your values, right? It's not always easy to live
your values, but the Palins live their values. The Bidens are not living their values. And so
what's interesting is... I don't know if they have values, Sean. I really don't at this point.
Well, you're right. Maybe we don't want them to live their values because they don't...
They are living their values. That's the problem.
But so here's what's interesting in this case.
So as we mentioned,
the DNA test came back and it was positive.
Hunter Biden is the father of Little Navy, right?
And the mother of London is like,
you know, here's the deal.
I really don't care that Hunter Biden isn't involved in this child's life.
He can't pick her out of a lineup.
Okay, he doesn't want custody. It has to hurt. Okay. However, you are going to pay for this child's life. He can't pick her out of a lineup. Okay. He doesn't want custody.
It has to hurt.
Okay.
However, you are going to pay for this child.
Yes.
And there's going to be child support.
Well, Hunter Biden presents himself as having a certain income level to the court and to London.
And London, as you mentioned, she's a graduate.
She's smart.
She's a grad student.
She's 32.
This is a smart cookie.
This could really be very damaging to the Bidens.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
So, well, so not another problem.
She's like, well, hold on a second.
I can turn on the news and I can see that actually Hunter Biden has made a lot more money than he may have disclosed on his IRS tax statements.
So lots of money from the Ukrainians, from the Russians, the Chinese.
Oh, yeah. And so and even we've just we've we've just learned last week that we have an IRS whistleblower who's come out and said, yeah, there's real issues here. And there's political
stonewalling coming from the White House that this case, the Hunter Biden case is being treated
differently. And so London smartly goes, well, I want I want to know what he's actually made.
I want to you know, we should actually admit the laptop into evidence to show how much he truly made and how much he actually claimed on his IRS statement.
So it's interesting.
The FBI might not go for Hunter or the DOJ or the IRS.
But London, the mother of his child, actually might get to the root cause of the IRS. But London, the mother of his child actually might get to the root cause of corruption.
And County Circuit Judge Holly Meyer, who has been saying, first of all, Hunter doesn't want to appear in court.
And she said, damn it, you're going to appear in court. You better come in here.
And then London, again, smart cookie, she hired Sean Garrett Ziegler. He is a former advisor to
Donald Trump, definitely a nemesis of the Biden family. But interestingly, he is an expert witness
on the contents of the laptop. So he works for a nonprofit that deals with blackmail and
trying to uncover, you know, government corruption.
And so he happens to be one of the preeminent people who understands what's on that laptop.
This girl, who they wrote off as a stripper, but she was a grad student as well, smart cookie, said,
Oh, no, no, I am going to hire Garrett Ziegler as my expert witness in this case. This guy, by the way,
had produced 644 pages of information on the laptop. We'll have more of this conversation
after this. With Uber Reserve, good things come to those who plan ahead. Family vacay? Reserve

So can I tell you what's rich in this?
Yes.
So you're like, well, we want access to the laptop is what the court says.
And Hunter Biden's lawyers say, well, the laptop is in a repair shop.
No, it's not. It's at the FBI. It's been there for years now.
No, it's not. It's at the FBI. It's been there for years now.
And it's in Miranda Devine's bedroom and office where she has meticulously gone through it.
And so many other people have the laptop.
Giuliani sees the FBI. Isn't that rich, though? It's in a repair shop.
And, I mean, the judge has to sit there and go like, are you kidding me?
Do you think I know it's not in a repair shop?
I mean, everyone has access to this thing.
And, you know, the Biden
lawyer is playing the judge as stupid. That never goes well, playing judge as being stupid. That
never plays well for your case. Lawyers should never do that. This is so fascinating. I mean,
who would have thought that this would come out like in this way? There's something delicious
about it. Let's really hope that this girl, I mean, this look for for for London Roberts. This isn't a political vendetta. This is about her daughter. And she's right. That's that's Hunter's daughter. They've humiliated her by the Biden's not acknowledging the daughter.
They've humiliated that little girl.
They've humiliated her mother.
The least they should do is go after that money.
And that's right.
You know, the money that Hunter Biden has, the whole country needs to know.
But especially little Navy Biden needs to know what that is because she's entitled to some of that money, even if it was gotten in very corrupt and I think treasonous ways by Hunter Biden.
I look at this, too, and I go, the Bidens are worried about the reputation.
So the laptop comes out. I mean, Hunter Biden is with strippers. He's with prostitutes. He's doing coke and crack. But I mean, I think one of the most egregious things, his brother Bo dies,
and he starts up a sexual relationship with his dead brother's wife.
I mean, this is the kind of family that you're dealing with.
But here you have a child out of wedlock with a stripper,
and that's what embarrasses you?
Right, yeah.
That's what makes you go, that's a step too far.
No, no, no, we can't go there.
It's okay that you have a relationship with Bo'sak's wife. Remember, they tried to normalize.
When it happened.
We support the relationship.
We support this relationship with our dead son's widow and Hunter.
And they tried to normalize that because that all came out, of course, in the middle of the campaign.
So we're going to normalize this.
We're going to embrace Hunter Biden.
But we can't embrace little Navy Biden.
Now, let's take a look.
Was that Haley Biden?
Is that her name?
Yeah, I think it was Hallie or Hallie Biden.
And she's come up in recent documents.
She's been on the take for the money as well.
She's one that was getting payments from the money that came from China.
So maybe they couldn't make her angry.
They had to support the relationship because she could expose.
But you're saying.
No, no, no.
But absolutely.
We talked earlier.
We had an episode where we talked about the cruelty of Jill Biden and the cruelty of Giselle Fetterman.
These, you know, sort of really, I think, callous wives who care more about, you know, being in the spotlight.
In the case of Giselle, I believe she just wants to become the senator, which I think will happen eventually. She'll be appointed. She's going to she's going
to wait for the deadline to to cross to end where they can make it. The governor can make an
appointment for her instead of having to have an election, because clearly Fetterman is not up for
the job. Joe Biden isn't up for the job. And Jill Biden knew that. I think it was really cruel of her to put him in this position. I saw an interview just this past weekend or not interview, but a press conference. Joe Biden doesn't give interviews, but he had some press conference.
I mean, he can't even read the teleprompter right, so I think if he wears shades, it helps.
Anyway, I think she's a very cruel, mean wife, and I think she did a disservice to this country by pushing her husband forward.
Here's what she, you know, and I always look at this as a political spouse.
I can't help it, right, because I was one for 10 years.
And I've told you on this podcast many times that I would never put you in a position like that, that if I saw that
you were on the mental decline, not only would I not want to embarrass you, but I would want to
spend whatever time you had left with your mental capacity. I'd want to spend it with you. I wouldn't
want to stress you out and make your mental decline speed up, which is exactly what we're
seeing happening because the presidency is a stressful job. I think I'm supposed to be
grateful for that comment. You are. You should be grateful. You have a wife that loves you more
than Jill Biden. And here is what Jill Biden says is the key to her as a political spouse.
Here's a quote from her. She says, as a political spouse, I've found that my stoicism often serves
me well. So she's stoic. And I think that that quote to me, it really jumped out
at me, Sean, because I think it explains how she can be so cold and cruel to her own
granddaughter, her own. And by the way, beautiful granddaughter. This little girl couldn't be
cute. I'm any cuter. She's cute as a button. This this tells you a lot about the moral, just the lack of morals of this family, but
particularly about Jill Biden. There's something about being a mother and a grandmother that she
should understand how London Roberts feels. She should understand how this little girl will
eventually feel about being rejected and shunned. Again, as you pointed out,
Sean, the paternity test was taken and it's very clear from the DNA. This is not just Hunter
Biden's child, but it is Jill and Joe's granddaughter. But they've gone, the Bidens
have gone so far as to try to keep this little girl, Navy, the granddaughter, from using the Biden
name. The last name. The last name. She can't be Navy Biden. I mean, that's the length of,
I think, heartlessness that you see from the Biden family. And again, I might expect that
from Hunter. You're right. I mean, Hunter's had problems. No doubt about that. Moral failings
that are obvious. And again, as we've always said, really, Hunter Biden, there's problem children all over the world.
And yes, he's the son of the president.
That's not necessarily my concern.
Our concern has always been, what is Joe's role?
And did Joe make money off of Hunter Biden?
We want to know that.
But also, what is Joe's role in what kind know, what kind of relationship he wants to have with
his own grandchild? And I think at every level, Joe Biden is failing, not just mentally, but morally.
And we see it very publicly with how he's treating this little girl.
One last point, because I know we want to move on to the next topic, but I really want to make
this point. We are living in a society right now now where when you look at all the things that are
going wrong in our country, all the things that are happening in our country, if you could
synthesize it down, we've had this conversation with our friend Jack Brewer many times.
If you could synthesize, if you could pick one thing to solve in America that would actually
fix almost all the other problems, it would be fatherhood. Fatherhood. It would be fatherhood and valuing children and the family.
And fathers stepping up and taking responsibility for their child.
What kind of message, Sean, would this have sent for the White House to say,
you know what, if our son is so morally challenged and bad that he can't step up,
as grandparents,
and as millions of grandparents across the country have done when their own children fail in this regard,
we're going to step up and we're going to embrace this child
because every child deserves that.
And they live in a 32-room mansion called the White House.
Plenty of room for little Navy Biden to come and visit
and come to the Easter. He brought
his own other child,
Hunter did, to the Easter egg roll.
How nice would it have been for them to invite
their other grandchild, Navy, to the Easter
egg roll at the White House?
Four years old would have absolutely loved it.
Oh my God. It's like
Disneyland for Easter, right?
This family, if you weren't convinced by their position out of worship, if you weren't convinced by the treasonous taking of money that they have from the Chinese,
this very fundamental moment, the paternity of Hunter Biden with this child and the fact that the grandparents and in particular, I know I pick on her a lot,
that the grandparents, and in particular, I know I pick on her a lot, but I'm just disgusted with her as a woman. And I can say that as a woman, that this mother slash grandmother wouldn't
embrace her own granddaughter and has done everything she can to leave her out in the cold
and without the money that's deserved of her, let alone the love and affection of the Biden family.
Shame on Jill Biden. Once again, shame on her.
One last point. You mentioned Jack Brewer and you mentioned fatherhood.
And we've seen what's happened on the weekends in Chicago.
And young kids taking to the streets, beating people up, robbing people on the streets,
breaking into businesses and looting businesses.
And I think what's the problem?
The problem is these children probably don't have
fathers in their home because if you have a good father in your home, and again, it's, I think,
and I think you see it's hard for one parent to navigate a child and the discipline of a child
and the raising of a child. That's why we've been set up as having, in the best scenario,
having two parents raising a child, put a dad in the house, laying the law down to go get your little butt back.
You are not going out there.
No, you're not.
And by the way, if you do, you're grounded.
You're losing your phone.
You know, you're on lockdown.
That kind of parenting would lead to a community that doesn't have kids taken to the streets and rioting.
And again, it would be nice if Joe Biden, if not Hunter, but Joe Biden would go,
you know what, I'm going to... I'm not sure Hunter is the right father figure.
No, but you know what, it would send a strong message. But at least if Joe would have done it,
how powerful that would have been, he chose not to. But at the same time, Joe Biden says,
your child is my child. It's America's child.
It's our child.
It's the commies' child.
Yeah, such a communist nation. And then you look and say, but this is how I treat my own grandchild.
Take your kids and run as far away as you can from Joe Biden and the commies.
Protect your children.
And we talk about this all the time.
The way you protect them is to get them out of commie camp, which is K through 12, out of college.
Don't, I mean, be very smart about where you put your kids. And I know we all-
We're going to do a podcast on this, by the way, Sean.
We all think we can rewire them. We can deprogram them. It is really hard. The best money spent is
trying to get them into a better classical school. And again, if you have grandkids,
if you're an aunt or an uncle,
and the parents don't have enough money, maybe don't give to your church for a while. Give to
your niece or your nephew or your grandkids to get them into a school. That's how we save America.
Amen. All you grandparents out there, you're worried about the future?
Make sure your grandkids are out of, as Sean called it, commie camp, which is public education.
Get them out of there as fast as you can.
I think the time is now.
You can't wait.
Or if you're a parent and you have kids, actually send our podcast to your mom and dad and to your brothers and sisters.
See, the Duffies said you're supposed to help us to get little Jimmy and Joey and Susie out of the commie camp and into this classical school down the street. Send us to them
because, again, you have to make the pitch, too. If you're a parent and you need to get your kids
in and you can't afford it. I don't want your inheritance. Just invest in my kid. Invest in
our future. Help me to put them into a better school in America. Invest in America. Invest
in our kids. That's right. All right. We'll have more of this conversation after this.
The faster money and data move,
the further your business can go to a seamless digital future for Canadians.
Let's go faster forward together.
In life, interact.
Okay, so we're going to move on because we talked.
Another happy topic.
Another happy topic.
Listen, this is a rough week.
So we talked about the failures of Jill Biden as a mother and as a grandmother.
But let's talk about the failure of this country in honoring motherhood in general.
Like this is really foundational. I think we have, we've seen this trans movement, you know,
take us from where we have to say birthing people. I'm not a mother. I'm a birthing person.
The beautiful art of breastfeeding, there used to be the La Leche League would write the art of
breastfeeding, which it is. It's one of the most beautiful things you can do is breastfeed your child.
We were made to do that.
Now they call it chest feeding.
Chest feeders.
Not as I'm a chest feeder.
I'm not breastfeeding my child.
Again, this way that we are erasing motherhood and turning it into something bad.
And this is all part of this
abortion culture, Sean. It's all part of saying that motherhood in some way is a disease. So we
need abortion. Our fertility is something that is not to be celebrated. It's something that keeps us
from being equal to men. And so we're seeing this denigration of women. And of course, once you
decide that gender is a social construct, you're already down the trans road. And here we're seeing this denigration of women And of course once you decide that
Gender is a social construct
You're already down the trans road
And here we are where we see women
Are being forced to compete with men
In sports and blah blah blah
Well now it's next level
Now corporations are saying
That Mother's Day
Is triggering
And so
You know how you get these emails, Sean, that, you know, maybe it's, you know, President's Day.
We have a President's Day sale or we have, you know.
It's a Labor Day sale.
Labor Day sale.
It's Memorial Day sale.
It's a Fourth of July sale.
Or it's Pride Month in June and you get all these promotional things happening, right?
Yeah.
Now they're sending out emails to their customers saying,
I know it's triggering. Mother's Day is triggering. You can opt out of our advertisements.
Take a look at this. Go ahead. So take a look. This is from Levi Strauss.
Yeah, these are big companies. And we'll give you a list of all the companies that are doing this.
So Levi's statement on Mother's Day's promotional email. So this is what they wanted to say.
So they said, hey there. So Mother's Day is just around the corner. And before we start bombarding you with
mom-related content, we just wanted to check in first. We know motherhood and all the associated
feelings, emotions, and memories can be tricky and even triggering for some people.
The last thing we want to do is hit you with a celebratory, yay mom energy that doesn't match
do is hit you with a celebratory yay mom energy that doesn't match up with your vibe. So this year, we're giving you the option to opt out of Mother's Day content by clicking here. That way,
we can make sure only those who actively want Mother's Day related communications will receive
them. And those who don't, won't. It's that easy, you horrible, evil people at Levi. So you can opt out of Mother's Day, right?
And I think it's fascinating.
There's been some conservative commentators who have weighed in on this.
So Charlie Kirk came out and said, well, we can opt out of Pride Month as well.
Yeah, he's like, does this count?
But see, that brings up the important point that you brought up to me.
So first, before we get to that, because I think there's some signaling about what's okay, what's triggering and what's not. So Pride Month, nobody
sent me an email saying, do you want to, does that conflict with your Christian beliefs? And do you
want to opt out of that? Nobody's sending that out. But Mother's Day. Did you get triggered?
Yeah. And so some people have, listen, I brought this up to some people and they said, well,
you know, maybe for some people, their mom died. for some people their mom died and Mother's Day brings up, you know, hard feelings for them.
Or maybe they have a bad relationship with their mom.
And so hearing Mother's Day promotions makes them feel sad or mad or angry or whatever.
And my response to that is, look, everyone has a mother. I don't care what these
crazy, you know, transgender ideologists say. Everyone has a mother. And if your mother died
and you see an ad reminding you that Mother's Day is coming, say a prayer for your mom. Go put
flowers on your mom's grave. If you have a bad relationship with your mom and you're in a fight with your mom and that happens in families, maybe Mother's Day and that ad that's reminding you Mother's Day is
coming up is an opportunity for you to extend an olive branch and heal that relationship. Time is
short. You only have one mother and you don't want to get through life. I mean, all that matters is
our relationships in the end. And so this is a chance to heal that. Instead, they're saying it's triggering. And Sean,
I don't buy it. I don't think this is about grieving customers or customers who are in
fights with their moms. This is deeper. This is ESG level. Yeah, no, I think, well, no, I think,
I think you're right. So what happens here is you have a minority of people who might go, yeah,
I don't really want to get emails about Mother's Day.
Maybe there's some issue there, which, by the way, I agree with your analysis.
But it's a minority who get to dictate to the majority that you can actually opt out.
But again, you could have a majority who might go, I don't want all the spam email on Pride Month, but there's no opt out.
I think after Mother's Day, we're going to go, you know what, if you don't like the 4th of July sales because you hate America because that's what
you've been taught in your schools, you can opt out of our 4th of July promotions and sales. I
mean, how far, Thanksgiving, by the way, Thanksgiving is racist, too. So if you want to opt
out of Black Friday Thanksgiving sales, opt out of that, too. And by the way, Christianity is
oppressive. So Christmas sales, you can opt out of Christmas sales, too. I mean, how far does this go?
But again, I think this is far more important.
You have corporate America, and you mentioned—
Here's the list, Sean.
Whoa, corporate America.
Okay, go ahead.
No, no, you go ahead.
Go ahead.
Okay, it's Kay Jewelers, Signet, DoorDash, Fry's Food, Kroger Family Companies, Etsy, Levi Strauss, Nestle Nespresso.
Yeah.
Well, Nespresso is owned by, or Nestle owns Nespresso.
Damn it now, I love my Nespresso.
Yeah.
No, I think you're right.
This is corporate America trying to impose their values and their beliefs on us and normalizing it.
And I think it's so important for people to push back and go, you know what?
normalizing it. And I think it's so important for people to push back and go, you know what,
if you have people, companies, who want to have opt-outs only for Mother's Day, but for nothing else, take note of who they are and don't do business with them. You know, it worked really
well for Bud Light, but I mean, Bud Light is, you know, suffering under political backlash.
If you have a mom, which you all do, don't buy Levi's.
Is it Levi's who has mom jeans?
I guess.
Oh, yeah, that's actually kind of funny.
Mom jeans.
But still, don't buy mom jeans at Levi's.
Buy them somewhere else.
Etsy, DoorDash.
And again, Nespresso would be kind of hard for us because you like your Nespresso.
I do, but you know what?
After seeing, I didn't realize they were on the list.
And now I'm going. Well, George Clooney was a spokesperson for them because you like your Nespresso. I do, but you know what? After seeing, I didn't realize they were on the list, and now I'm going.
Well, George Clooney was a spokesperson for them, so you could actually imagine how. I knew they were doing all kinds of environmental
virtue signaling, but
I didn't know they were doing that. But there's been a lot of pushback,
right? There's been a lot of people who have pushed back
on what's happening with this
little attack on, or big attack on.
Shining a light on it. One of them is our friend, Lila
Rose from,
she has a pro-life group.
And here's what she says.
She realizes that the abortion fight isn't just about abortion.
It's so much more foundational.
It's about motherhood in general.
That's the attack.
And she says, why is our culture so hateful of motherhood?
Multiple brands come out before Mother's Day apologizing for Mother's Day ads and offering an opt-out i think she has another did she have another one no she didn't um i showed
another quote i think in there earlier that we must not have it here but in any case um i think
there are people who are clued into this maybe i have it here oh by the way mac uh mac uh makeup
is another brand remember mac makeup um it has been very big on trans because a lot of drag queens love MAC Makeup, right?
And so they've been on the forefront, one of the first ones to replace female models with drag queens, which is fine.
I don't have a problem with drag queens loving MAC Makeup.
with drag queens loving MAC makeup. But now when you cross from allowing or celebrating drag queens in your makeup line to, we're going to denigrate motherhood and try to erase it. This again,
is like I said, I think this is civilizational. I think this is foundational. This is next level
type stuff. And I just think we ought to push back. Well, Stephen Miller said the left's war on womanhood, motherhood and childhood continues
to gather force. Every one of these brands have been captured by the radical anti-woman,
anti-family left. And he's right. And you bring this up oftentimes. Again,
I would agree with you. You go like, listen, if your makeup is great for drag shows and drag queens, so be it, whatever.
But when you start taking men and put them in bras and panties and start to advertise tampax or Kotex, whatever, you've gone to a whole new level.
And you've commented on this a few times that when many of the drag queens or many of transgender dress up as women,
who is the Briton from the White House, the energy?
Sam Britton, was that his name?
It's a mockery of women.
It's not a celebration of women.
Oftentimes they're mocking women in the way that women look or the way that women act
or the way that women behave.
And again, when you mock something, you're not
really celebrating it. So I have some conflicting feelings about it as a woman, as the woman on this
podcast. Let me see. So let me say this. On the one hand, I was at one point, Sean, I was at one
point saying, you know what? I get why you want to be a woman, right? It's fun being a woman. We
have nice nails. It's fun to put on makeup. It's fun to get our hair done. There's something about the feminine that is, and I can see why it could be flattering that a man wants to be.
Now, when a man tries to pretend he's having menstrual cramps on the TikTok video, when you put men with, you know, to advertise sports bras, now you're getting into the part, I think, where you say, Sean,
where you're starting to mock my gender.
And my gender is not a costume.
The other point I would say about drag queens, Sean,
and you and I have talked about this before as well,
is if adult men want to dress like women and have drag shows and nightclubs,
I'm okay with that.
But explain to me why you want to do it with children around.
I think that's even you see a lot of folks in the gay community say listen,
listen, why are you doing this to kids? Even if you want to transition, okay
transition, but you want a 13 year old to take puberty blockers? You want a 13 year
old to go through a transition process to become
a girl to a boy or a boy to a girl? This is insanity. And these kids can't make up the
decisions for themselves. And again, whether you drink alcohol, you smoke tobacco, you get a tattoo,
all kinds of things we say they can't make decisions for. But you can have life-altering
decision-making at this incredibly young age. And more often than not,
you're going to be sterile. And it comes back to this theme that we've talked about a lot. It's
that, well, where are the adults? Where are the doctors? Where are the people who care about the
children in our community? And they're not there because they're making money. The hospitals, the doctors, the big pharma, they're making huge money off of 12 and 13
and 15-year-olds who are deciding to transition.
And it's not just a one and done.
You're not just making one surgery, one pill, and you're done.
It is a lifetime business for a hospital and a clinic and pharma when they have someone
engage in this process.
And I think now what we're starting to see is there's some real mental issues that come along
with making this decision to transition. And it comes back to, by the way, you mentioned you're
the only woman on the panel and you love being a woman and it's fun to be a woman.
It is fun to be a girl.
As the only guy on the panel, it's pretty great to be a guy.
And, you know, we don't have to put makeup on.
I don't have to spend an hour doing my hair.
I mean, like, I just do it up.
I put a hat on.
You know what? I'm going to wear a hat next time.
All those things that go, that's pretty great.
And you know what?
It's okay for men to go, my gender is great, and women to say, my gender is great.
Well, that's the whole point of gender rights, that we're complementary, that, and we shouldn't
try to, as you said, erase.
The other thing that we shouldn't do is allow activists, people who, although we said as
we started this out, you know, they say they want to own our children. People who aren't the parents are bullying parents who are, you know, their kids are getting lured into this often through TikTok.
And a lot of social contagion and forces that are out there in social media are making kids become more confused about who they are and their gender.
And then when the parents are confronted with this,
they're bullied and they're being told, well, your kid will commit suicide. Do you want your child dead or what? And so these parents are like freaking out. And again, we live in a culture
where no one wants to purposely offend anybody. I don't want to offend people. I don't want to
hurt people's feelings. I don't. And so this, I, this, this desire to not offend
has really in many ways, um, muzzled parents in a way that I think they have to stop doing
and they have to stand up for their kids and they have to stand up for what they know is actually
right. What happens if you stand up for your child, oftentimes you're in some states, the
rights to your child will be taken from you because you're not supporting the trans movement and affirmative
care. Affirmative care. Yeah. Affirming. Gender affirming care, which is like that. Again, care.
That is such a soft word. Yeah, that's what they do with abortion, Sean. That has such toxic
consequences. By the way, you know. Because that's what they do with abortion. It's abortion
care. It's reproductive care. No, it's not. It's dism they do with abortion. It's abortion care. It's
reproductive care. No, it's not. It's dismembering a child. Let's just be honest about it.
I'm going to go back to Joe Biden. When Joe says that there are children,
Joe Biden and America doesn't wake up at night when my child's sick. They don't feed my child.
They don't clothe my child. They don't teach my child how to ride a bike or take them to
hockey practice or soccer practice. I mean, they don't do any of the things. They don't teach my child how to ride a bike or take them to hockey practice or soccer
practice. I mean, they don't do any of the things. They don't sit around the dinner table. They don't
cook them dinner. They don't do these things for my child that I do for my child. They don't have
the relationship that I have with my children as the government. But as I say that, I go, well,
actually, Joe Biden will go, yeah, no, I house you. I clothe you. I feed
you. I give you health care. I educate you. I'll pay for your college. And so when the government
steps into the role as that parent, which is what they've been trying to do for generations,
they're like, and now we are the parent. We are the parent of these children because we pay for
all these things.
Yeah.
And they encourage policies that encourage people not to get married and have the father be part of the child's life.
All of that is very true. So, Sean, what can we do moving into Mother's Day?
And by the way, let's see.
They may put out these triggery warnings before Father's Day.
Let's see if they do it with the same enthusiasm that they do for Mother's Day, because I do think they have a special thing against motherhood and fertility and children,
because we live in this anti-family, this anti-natalist society.
But let's see if that happens.
But moving into Mother's Day, which comes first in just another, what?
What, 14th, 15th of May?
Yeah.
No, it's the 10th of May.
I don't know.
It's the middle of May.
This is a problem, Sean, because this is what I'm going to have us fight back. You better get this right. Well, I know it's coming. Listen, I don't know that. I think it's the 10th of May. I think it's the 10th of May. Something, I don't know. It's the middle of May. This is a problem, Sean, because this is what I'm going to have us fight back.
You better get this right.
Well, I know it's complex.
I don't know that...
I think it's the 10th of May.
I think it's the 10th of May.
I can't pick it out.
No, it's not.
It's the 14th of May.
So it's very close.
I always thought it was the 10th.
Okay, well, you're right there.
It's not as if it's Sunday.
I stand corrected.
It's not as if it's the second Sunday,
I believe, in May.
You're right.
It's the second Sunday of May.
So last year for Mother's Day,
you guys did an amazing job, but so did Fox and Friends.
They really did.
Remember, they did nine surprises for my nine kids. It included a mariachi band, which was amazing.
And I've already talked to my producers at Fox and Friends after I saw this, and I was like, I don't know what we're going to do,
and I don't know how you're going to top last year and your nine surprises in the Madagascar band.
But we better go all in on Mother's Day.
Everyone listening.
Did you hear that Fox News?
Did you hear that Fox News?
Did you hear that, Rachel?
My producer's name is Rachel and Kristen.
We're going to go all in.
I actually suggested.
They can't beat last year.
They were pretty good.
It was amazing last year.
But here's what I said. I said, let's just have all moms as
guests on Fox
and Friends just to drive it
home. Just to give it to Will and Pete.
You're going to be surrounded by mothers
all day long. Will and Pete
love mothers. But that's something
our listeners could do
is go, you know what?
I know what you're trying to do.
I see what you're trying to sneak in here with your little ESG email saying,
you know, opt out of Mother's Day because Mother's Day is triggering.
We get what you're trying to do to our society and to our gender,
and we're not going to let you do this.
And so for Mother's Day, go all out for your mom.
Go all out for your grandma.
Just double down. Whatever you were planning to do for your mom. Go all out for your grandma. Just double down.
Whatever you were planning to do for your mom and grandma.
Double it up.
Double it up.
And I'm not saying that as a mom because I know that it sounds very like, you know, self-serving, Sean.
But I just think, what else can we do?
Well, first of all, I think so instead of having, you know, one quiche, have two.
Is that a Mother's Day thing?
No, that's the coronation meal.
That's the signature coronation meal, which we're going to talk about, Sean,
because eggs are being rationed in England as they chose quiche.
So this is my view on how we handle this.
We saw the power of Bud Light.
And when people pushed back, maybe Bud Light was like,
you know what, maybe I should respect the people who buy my product. And if I don't respect them,
maybe they'll leave me and they'll drink something else. By the way, Bud Light's not that great. I'm
sorry, it's not. Is Miller Lite any different? Is Kuro's Lite much different? No. I mean,
so I think if you make a decision, and this is actually really hard,
and I know people give me pushback, but I do promote boycotts because that's the only way
you get corporate America to listen to you when you vote with your dollar. And I'm not perfect
at that. So we'll use Amazon. I hate Amazon, but it's so good. So that's a problem for us,
but we do make choices and sometimes we're not good with other choices.
But, I mean, remember, if you can – and, by the way, Levi's has a whole bunch of different brands that they sell.
So if it's not just Levi's, you've got to look and go, well, who makes this jean that I want to buy?
It very well could be Levi's.
So make sure you look.
But boycott.
Boycott Mac if you can.
Go somewhere else.
Boycott Levi's. Yeah, it's funny.
I have better makeup than Mac, for sure.
I think that you've got to go. You like Nespresso?
Maybe you got to go.
I'm going to make my coffee in the morning.
It's easier.
You like it.
It's a little.
You know what?
I am going to switch.
By the way, a lot of people buy mom a necklace or some jewelry on, or grandma from Kay Jewelers.
Don't buy another thing from them.
By the way, Kroger.
So this is Fry Food Store did the same thing., pushed out this email to say you can opt out.
They're owned by Kroger.
If you have choices of what grocery store to shop at, well, cancel Kroger.
Cancel Kroger.
Vote with your dollar.
Because you are the majority.
The majority support Mother's Day and support mothers.
The majority support Mother's Day and support mothers.
And if the majority pushes back on the small minority that's changing the way that we live, the way that we communicate, the way that we actually think, actually, they'll cave.
They will bend.
But it's that so many people are silent and they don't actually vote their principle.
So here's another way that you could do it. I think it's as effective, maybe even more than even the boycott,
Sean, because we, so much of what the left does is through social media. So for Mother's Day,
use your social media to just, you know, celebrate your mom, celebrate your grandma,
you know, talk about what Mother's Day means to you. Use your social media. We often try and,
you know, a lot of people expect,
they kind of sit back because they're afraid, right? I don't think people are too afraid of Mother's Day yet. Just wait till it's totally canceled. But the point is, a lot of people want
to outsource their outrage to pundits to do on Fox or to other people. And you can see,
it's not a good way to do it. The best thing to do is to or to other people. And you can see it's not a good way to do it.
The best thing to do is to be your own voice. And if we all spoke out, if we all fought back,
I think we are the majority. We're at least half the country, if not more. And by the way,
everyone has a mother. I don't even think half the Democrats like this idea. And they might go
along with it. Hold on a second. But a company can get political
pressure from the left, a minority, to say, you better not advertise on that show. And if you do,
we'll boycott you. And guess what happens? They pull their advertisement from certain shows
that the minority and the left said, we don't like that you're advertising there. Even though
you might have the largest reach of any show on cable television.
They'll pull their ads.
Right.
So why doesn't the reverse work?
You got to do what they – you have to do what they're doing.
No, I'm not saying not to do it.
I'm saying in addition.
I'd say in addition.
Don't say – because voting with dollars make them wake up and pay attention.
Yeah, I agree with that.
But I also say use your social media because, you know, culture matters.
It does matter.
Culture matters.
And social media is culture today.
Social media is culture, whether we like it or not.
And use your social media to celebrate motherhood, to celebrate, you know, every baby moment you have.
Celebrate motherhood. I think it's really time for women to take back the idea
of motherhood, to start celebrating and stop letting these elite, unhappy women who don't
want to have babies to define who we are as women. Our ability to have children, our fertility,
our innate desires to nurture and love our children and our families is who we are.
And we ought to not let other people define who we are.
Use your culture platform, your social media, your Facebook, your Instagram, your Twitter to celebrate motherhood.
Your water cooler conversation.
Yes.
All of it.
You dive right in.
Celebrate moms, celebrate babies, and Hunter Biden, celebrate your baby mama.
And invite Little Navy to the White House.
Wouldn't that be nice?
Yeah, celebrate your baby.
Jill Biden on Mother's Day.
It's going full circle.
I can't let this woman go.
I mean, she tries.
She presents herself as this great mother and grandmother.
And yet she has rejected her own grandchild for political, really gross purposes.
And so I say maybe on Mother's Day, we could all say a prayer leading up to Mother's Day that Jill Biden, if not her husband or the father of that baby, the little beautiful baby Navy, that maybe Jill Biden's heart will melt a little bit and make room in that giant mansion called the White House to bring little Navy Biden back into the Biden family.
Maybe the Bidens could go see The Wizard of Oz, find a heart and a brain, some courage.
Or watch The Grinch.
Didn't his heart get a little bigger, too?
A little smaller.
It was a little smaller, and then it got bigger.
So that's my wish. Didn't his heart get a little bigger, too? A little smaller. It was a little smaller, and then it got bigger.
So that's my wish, my Mother's Day wish for our country and for the Biden family.
I like it.
Thank you. Thank you for celebrating your femininity, your ability to book children.
No pressure, by the way, on Mother's Day.
Not at all.
Fox and Friends and Sean Duffy and all my kids.
Well, listen, Fox can't beat last year's Mother's Day.
Last year was amazing.
They asked us for recommendations.
We came up with nothing compared to what they did for you.
You did.
You got some great stuff.
Most of the recommendations came from you, and you guys came bearing flowers and children,
and it was wonderful.
It was.
It was wonderful.
And then we went, do you remember we went to St. Patrick's Mass afterwards?
So fun.
It was really fun.
