It's so great to be here in our kitchen. Finally. Finally, literally.

We've been having to have you in the studio and me here because you've been doing all this promo for your new show, but you are here today. I am with you. Actually, we're not in our little library. We're in the kitchen. We're in the kitchen. Welcome to the kitchen table. So today we have a couple, I think, really interesting topics. So a lot of people are planning their spring breaks, whether you're in college or you're a family or you're a couple. A lot of people are planning a spring break. Everyone's favorite place is Mexico, but the state department is now saying don't go to mexico um we're going to talk about that a lot of um crime uh we you know we've been talking about how we're our border policies are turning destabilizing mexico and we're seeing the effects on tourism which hurts americans but actually really hurts mexico um so we'll get to that. But first, we can't ignore that we had the State of the Union, and it was a crazy State of the Union.

It was. And we had a debate whether we talk about this or not, because we're a couple days after. But I wanted to talk about it because after serving nine years in Congress, I like the decorum of the chamber. I like when people have a respect and a reverence for the chamber itself. You don't like when people yell. I don't. I think it's unbecoming of our democracy. And you were in Congress when the famous Joe Wilson, you lie on Obama, right? He got completely crushed by liberal media, but he raised more money than anybody, I think, in a month's period. Thank you for telling the truth, Joe Wilson.

But just to get the flavor back, let's roll the clip of Joe Biden talking to Republicans about wanting to cancel Medicare and Social Security. Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset. I'm not saying it's a majority. Let me give you anybody who doubts it. Contact my office. I'll give you a copy. I'll give you a copy of the proposal. So first off, again, I told you I don't like when there isn't a quorum, but Joe Biden was invited to the House chamber by the speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. That's how it works. People don't understand that entirely. So that's the way the process works. The Speaker invites the President to his chamber and the President comes in to the House and tells a bold-faced, flat-out lie that Republicans want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare, which is ridiculous. But why do you get

so animated about this? Because they've been saying that lie. I mean, we actually had a commercial with your mom, with Carol Duffy, when you were in Congress saying, I'm voting for Sean Duffy, and he would never take away Medicare and Social Security. So they've been saying this forever, but you still get so animated as if people really believe this. Well, the reason is, is because things have changed since I ran in 2010. And it's that Joe Biden has the audacity to say this massive lie, the big lie from the rostrum in the House chamber. And the media has completely shifted in the last 13 years. Normally, they would go, Joe Biden's lying, Republicans don't want to get rid of Social Security, Medicare. Well, the media today is just parodying what Joe Biden says.

But, Sean, when they had Paul Ryan, you know, throwing, you know, grandma off the cliff, I don't recall the media coming in to help you guys in any way, shape, or form. They were far less biased then. They were biased, but far less than they were today. I wouldn't think it could get worse when I watched it in 2010, but it has. Do you think that this Medicare, Social Security lie, whatever it is, that that could actually hurt Republicans? I don't know. We'll see. Well, I'm going to get to that in a second and how it played against Ron Johnson in Wisconsin. But my point with this is, though I like to call him, I thought

Republicans were completely, completely legitimate in standing up and booing Joe Biden, calling him a liar. Because if the media won't fact check Joe Biden, which they won't, at least Republicans in real time fact checked him and said, you're a liar, dude. Come on. That's that. Yeah, it actually did. It was one of those times where it kind of worked right. The the people, the people in the chamber, the members of Congress, almost revolted against this boldface lie. And so then I think, Sean, it wasn't just that lie. I think it was a confluence of lies. Yeah, it was an accumulation of so many lies.

It was the weirdest state of the union. It was like this alternative reality. I don't think you could say so many lies in one speech. I agree with that. And because, again, it was lying about the economy. He was lying. I mean, that he didn't mention China or the balloon, which is the greatest risk and threat that we face in this country. He didn't talk about the southern border. He didn't talk about our military. He didn't talk about the border agents. I mean, he just missed so many things. But I think he wanted to use that one hour to try to convince the American people that his policies are working and he's a great president.

And again, good on Republicans. So I like decorum. I was happy they stood up and pushed back. And it was interesting. Joe Biden actually had a rollback off of his claim that Republicans actually don't want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare. However, he did. He did kind of roll it back. In the middle of the speech. Yeah, in the middle of the speech. However, the next day, he went to Wisconsin and made the same kind of pitch. Listen to this. They seem shocked.

When I raised the plans of some of their members and their caucus to cut Social Security and Marjorie Taylor Greene and others stood up and said, liar, liar. So, Rachel, what's rich here is, first off, he's talking in front of a bunch of union members. We both know Wisconsin well. The trades union guys in Wisconsin, they love Ron Johnson, right? So that you're saying you got a bunch of union guys that support Joe Biden and not Ron Johnson. That's rich in and of itself.

Joe Biden tried this against Ron Johnson in the November election. Yeah, it didn't work. Right. So Ron and Ron, I talked to him after Biden was in the state and he made the point, which I was going to make to Ron if he didn't know, which was because as you saw, Biden talked about Ron Johnson, Mike Lee and Rick Scott as people who want to get rid of Social Security. But he missed one other senator in that list of three. OK, listen, I want to go on record. I'm up for reelection this year and I'm going to remind everybody what I did at home, which is going to cost me politically. I when I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well. I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant

veterans. But I meant every single solitary thing in the government. And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice. I tried it a third time and I tried it a fourth time. So it's Joe Biden. So when was that? Joe Biden. Well, so he's done it twice. 1975. Oh, come on, Sean. 1975 is a long time ago. And then he did in the 90s. So he's done it twice, 1975. Oh, come on, Sean. 1975 is a long time ago. And then he did it in the 90s. So he's done it twice. But listen, if in your heart you want to get rid of Social Security or you want to freeze it, if you would have frozen Social Security in 1975, you'd get a couple dollars per month as a retiree.

Because so much more money has gone out, so many more people have retired, the program wouldn't work. So much more money has gone out. So many more people have retired. The program wouldn't work. And what he's missing, and I'm sorry to talk about Social Security and Medicare, but it is part of this massive lie. Ron Johnson, Rick Scott have said, this program is going broke. We all know that. I don't think most young people think they're going to get anything.

We should fix it. And to fix it, the greatest threat to Social Security is going to be our debt and deficits. Because you're going to have to tap into the general fund to pay for these retirements. And if you have this massive debt, there'll be nothing to tap into. You can't borrow more money. And so what they're saying is, if you want to protect Social Security and Medicare, you have to stop spending. Or printing money. Or printing money, that's right.

So I thought this whole thing is rich. And again, this goes to the point, Joe Biden's the one who actually wasn't trying to protect it. He was trying to freeze it. And these senators have enough class and enough intellectual honesty to say, you know what, we actually should do some things that truly fix it. They're not going to do anything for those who are in their retirement or those who are about to retire. But the next generation of retirees, if you're going to modify a plan, modify it so they know what it's going to be. Why don't you just admit that there are no... I mean, the reason why I don't get as animated about this is I don't believe anybody has the political fortitude to do anything to Social Security and Medicare. It has sort of become this third rail.

No one wants to be the party or the politician who does it, who touches it, who in any way alters it. And even saying you're going to fix it comes with political ramifications. Exactly. So nobody wants to do it. I think there were so many other things. I know that gets you all riled up. I know. Medicare and Social Security gets you so passionate. There were so many other things that just made me mad. So before we get to the things that made me mad, can I tell you? I loved that whole weird smooching thing. I kept thinking this kiss this remember that song by that country song um it was Kamala Harris's husband and and Jill Biden yeah Jill Biden kissing Kamala Harris's

husband in a way that we've never seen Kamala and her own husband kiss um they kissed through a mask um they were mercilessly mocked for that um You mean Joe and Jill? No, no, no. Kamala and her husband also kissed through masks. Did Joe and Jill also kiss through masks? They might have. But it's funny, like you get the spouses together and then suddenly they're like, I'll make it out. So gross. It was so great. So that was an interesting moment um but i think again i was really shocked that with all the attention on the chinese balloon you should know that on saturday when that balloon was shot down and fox had the live coverage of it the only network to have live coverage the only network to have live coverage i don't know why the other ones didn't. But we had live coverage. Our ratings at Fox went through the roof.

They do exploded like the balloon. how the American people have woken up to it. And so it was just bizarre to not have that be part of his speech, addressing it. He made some weird statement that made no sense about Xi Jinping. Let's listen to that because I can't figure it out. Name me a world leader who changed places with Xi Jinping. Name me one. Name me one. So that was a weird moment. Nobody knows what he was saying, but he never addressed the balloon. And I'm going to say something just to be self-critical of the Republicans.

Sarah Huckabee also never directly addressed the balloon in her rebuttal. I thought she gave a phenomenal rebuttal. I thought it was a great juxtaposition, how young she is, how old he is, normal versus crazy. I thought she made great points, but I think it was a mistake not to address it because everyone wanted to hear about the blue. But there was so much to address, so many lies to confront. And I agree, she should have talked about that. One of my other favorite moments, which we've seen replayed quite a bit, was when Joe Biden is talking about he's going after the energy companies, which, by the way, they're making a ton of money because Joe Biden has basically shut down new oil exploration and development and transportation. He's weakening

our country with his energy policies. Supply and demand has driven the price of oil up. So if you're an oil company, you're making goo gobs of money because of Joe Biden. But when he came in and said, listen, we're going to need fossil fuels for the next, what, 10 years. And actually it was funny because Republicans took a beat. They heard it and they all uniformly started to laugh at him. I was like, what? Yeah, that was a great moment. I did love that. You're not going to be on fossil fuels in 10 years, but that was not, by the way, that was not in his speech. That was not in the draft. Oh, really? I didn't know that. That was not in the draft. Oh, really?

I didn't know that. He was ad-libbing. They always get nervous when he ad-libs. Right, but it was not a mistake. So if you think about this, someone that you love to talk about a lot, AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Remember, she's been talking about the world's going to end in, what, it was 12 years ago, a couple years ago. So we're only 10 years until the end of the earth. And they actually have a plan, like the radical leftists.

They have a plan to make this transition in 10 years. So that's why he's saying in only 10 years, we will be completely dependent on China for batteries. They'll be mining with kids for cobalt out of the Congo. That is their dream of the future. And you know it is their dream because in California, 10 years is when they plan to – I think they are banning any cars with fossil fuels that are run by fossil fuels. The prelude to that is ban your gas stove, then ban your gas car. Right.

So in California, they're serious. California has always been sort of a bellwether of what the Democrats really, really, really want to do. Normal and crazy. But crazy is winning the day these days because they do have the power. I just want to say on energy power, on energy policy, you could not devise a plan to weaken our country more than what Joe Biden has done with energy policy. And so when people go look at energy and how expensive things are and inflation, or even when people look at the border and the chaos and the destruction and the crime and the drugs and, and this child sex trafficking that's happening down there and people go, how could they let this happen? Or how can

they let inflation happen? All of these things are by design. These plans are working. You may be personally appalled by what you see, but this is precisely what they want. Their plan is working perfectly. This is all intentional. And the plan is to destroy America. Yeah. Because if you love your country, you would have borders.

If you love your country, you wouldn't teach your kids to hate it. If you love your country, you would make sure that bad people, criminals go to jail and good people feel safe and protected. You would make sure that we dig out the blessings of fossil fuels that we have in this country so that people can live and prosper because it affects every single price point that you deal with in your life. And if your greatest political and economic rival tried to fly a balloon over your country to look at your intercontinental ballistic missile sites, you would shoot it down right away and go, listen, no, no, no. You don't invade our airspace. Nuh-uh. I'm still in shock, Sean. But if you hate America, Rachel, if you hate America, you do all the things that Democrats and Joe Biden are doing.

Or if you're compromised, if you're compromised, because why would you want to make our country more dependent on China for electric vehicles when we have the I mean, we have the greatest resources of any country in the world with natural gas and fossil fuels right here under our feet. It makes no sense. But again, back to the balloon and we'll move on to the next topic because I think it's important and another consequence of the border policies that Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken were willing to meet with the Chinese knowing that they had a Chinese surveillance balloon that we now know this administration knew they had it. They knew it was here. They knew it was going over our country and spying on us. And they were going to meet with the Chinese as if it wasn't happening. And it was only because a civilian spotted that balloon that then they had to pretend like they didn't know and then shoot it down. But only after the Chinese already collected all the data. So Bill McGurn made this point on the bottom line, which is my new show with Dagan McDowell on Fox Business, six o'clock, if you haven't seen it yet. Skippy's going to bark. Yeah. Yeah. Someone's coming in

the driveway. Skippy's barking. But when they get all the rights to cobalt and other critical minerals, right now they're making batteries and they're sending those batteries over to us, which we then can put in our cars. Bill McGurn made the point, they'll do that for a while, but when they have all the critical mineral rights, they're going to make the batteries in China and then make the cars in China and sell them to Chinese. And what they have left,

they might sell those cars to you. So if you think you're going to make Ford and GM cars in America, the way we're going right now with Joe Biden's plan, you won't make cars. You'll all buy Chinese cars with Chinese batteries because Chinese have all the minerals. We could avert that and go, but we could use gas engines, right? Because we have all the fuel under our soil, under our feet as we sit. So this is stupid. It's catastrophic. And it's America hating.

That's all. Absolutely. That's my bottom line. Nope. And that's the name of the show. That's the name of the show, The Bottom Line. We'll have more of this conversation after this. As a Fizz member, you can look forward to free data, big savings on plans, and having your unused data roll over to the following month. Every month at Fizz, you always get more for your money. Terms and conditions for our different programs and policies apply. Details at Fizz.ca. All right, I want to move to this because, as we mentioned, a lot of people love to go to Mexico. We love to go to Mexico. We went a year ago.

We've gone to the Caribbean. I love the Caribbean. But there's nothing like Mexico. They have the best food. The sun is just, I don't know, the sun's more delicious in Mexico. Mexico's one of the most beautiful countries. She's Mexican. Obviously, I'm Mexican. You're going to love it.

It's the most beautiful. It is. Listen, Mexico. The is one of the most beautiful countries. Obviously, I'm Mexican. It is. Listen, people are better. Listen, the people in Mexico are wonderful. The food is better than anywhere else in the Caribbean. I'm just going to say it's just the best. However, Mexico has become very dangerous. Now, when we went a year ago, where do we go again? We went to Cancun. It was cheap. It was. And but here's the deal. When we were there laying on the beach, there were like four wheelers going by with cops, with machine guns and like the military wearing, you know, I mean, because they have to protect the resorts because now the resorts have become infiltrated. Part of the reason, Sean, is that with all the drug money and all the human smuggling money that's been pouring into the country by the billions, I mean, they have to launder this money somehow. And oftentimes they go into these resorts because tourism is such a big industry. It's an easy way to launder money in Mexico. And so there's a lot more problems when you're near resorts because the cartel activity now has moved into these areas. It used to be back in the day

that the cartels kind of understood they had an agreement with the government. You guys can operate over there, but don't operate around our tourism because tourism is the lifeblood. Those tourist dollars are the lifeblood of Mexico. But now things are becoming more and more chaotic. I've we've been doing episodes and segments you and kidnapping. Several states they've said absolutely don't go to. And some of those states are resort states. But even like the Mexican state where Cancun is, even that has an elevated level of warning saying you should be always on alert when you're in Cancun. And absolutely, when we were there, shortly after we left, there was a murder there. And when we went to mass, when we were in Cancun, the Ukraine war was in full force at that time. Do you remember? And the priest said, listen, we need to pray in Spanish. He said, we need to pray for the Ukraine. But let's not forget there's a war going on in this town,

in Cancun. And he said that there were like 17 teenagers that had been killed in the last month. Yeah, it's a fascinating development that has been slow rolling and happening for years. I remember we had gone to Puerto Vallarta shortly after we were married, and it was gorgeous. I'd never been there before. I've been there only one time. We went together. And now Puerto Vallarta is a crazy cartel town. It totally is. And so to your point, the problem is you have the government that seems to now have less power when compared to the cartels because the cartels are making so much money from Joe Biden's bad policies that the human trafficking money is massive. Drugs and fentanyl money fentanyl they're just they're

making money hand over fist they're printing cash and they're more powerful than the federal government and then so how do you co-opt the federal government you pay them right you pay the federal you pay the president you pay um you pay the deputates and you own the government now because of all the cash that you have and, this is a slow collapse on our southern border, which is. It's bleeding into our country because we now saw. First of all, let me just say third of Mexico has 32 states. Only two of them don't have this warning of danger and violence and kidnapping and problems. And to your point, Sean, we saw in California, there was, you know, about a week or

two weeks ago, maybe, we reported on it on Fox News as well, a total cartel style massacre in a home in California. They say that some of the members of that family were involved with Mexican drug cartels, but they massacred the whole family, including shot to the head a six-month-old baby, a 16-year-old mother of that baby. So these are really evil cartels. That violence is spilling over, obviously, into our country because the cartels are able to get in here very easily. Our borders are open. And so this is a serious thing. I thought if you had something to say, I was going to move on to a story that just happened just as an example.

The point I'd make is I like to believe America is good. America tries to bring freedom and democracy to countries around the world to let them have self-governance. Rarely have we been in a place where America is trying to destabilize a country and turn it over to evil. And again, Joe Biden is doing this, but if you look at what the cartels do, they'll behead people and send the heads to the family or the rival cartel. Or other body parts yeah they have public hangings i mean this is back to like isis type stuff public hangings so take the bridges

they'll take the bodies and hang them from bridges for everyone to see not to warn the towns yep they're also putting bodies in asset um it's almost like from breaking bad of kind of putting bodies in acid and and and eroding the contents. They're also running child sex trafficking rings, profiting off of repeat abuse of children. That is happening, and our government is complicit. And that is why Representative Kat Kamak, Sean, and God bless her for saying the truth, calls Joe Biden the child trafficker in chief, the human trafficker in chief. slavery, labor slavery, where they're finding young Hispanic kids as young as 12 years old working in America under slave labor conditions, cleaning out the slaughterhouses. There was a bus by the Labor Department on that. You can be sure that that's happening across the country.

So Joe Biden is El Chapo. Exactly. They are doing all kinds of terrible things. And also, our corporations are complicit in it. There's some ads that you're going to be seeing run during the Super people crossing over the southern border and making the connection between. That's like Jesus and Mary and Joseph crossing the border. The corporations that are behind this want this cheap labor. That is why they're funding this. There's no deep compassion for the people who are crossing our border. In fact, if you cared about the people crossing our border, you would know that more of them have died under Joe Biden's border policies. More of them have fallen into sex and labor slavery and indentured servitude

in our country by these policies. So you're seeing this concerted, coordinated effort by the Democrat Party, by Joe Biden's administration, by corporate America who wants to profit off of this cheap labor to somehow sanitize and wrap in compassion, fake compassion, what's happened at the border. Have you seen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the border? Crying. Crying since Donald Trump, who had the most secure border. No, these people do not care about humans. They care about power. And here's to the point of power. What they're doing is they're letting millions of people into the country. Many of them don't have court hearings because they want to claim asylum. But you have to have a hearing to

determine whether your claim for asylum is legitimate or not. And the only reason they're able to claim asylum is you have NGOs that go down, you know, before they cross and tell them what they have to say. Yes. They skirt and get around us law. Well, when millions of people come into the country,

they don't have court dates. Even if you like Donald Trump, by the way, NGOs are non-government organizations. They're generally, they're generally American based and they're funded by George Soros, but they're also funded by you through your tax dollars. Tax dollars. So when you get a new president who says, we're going to secure the border,

and if you're here illegally, we're going to kick you out, there's so many people, you're not going to be able to get millions of people out of the country. And Joe Biden, as angry as I am at him, is smart enough to know you'll never undo this policy. I'm going to let so many people in. You can't get them out. And then you even heard at the State of the Union, they're going to want to give citizenship to those who've come into the country with fake and false claims of asylum, breaking the law, getting in front of the line. And again, I don't think Democrats or Joe have any respect for the rule of law. And, and, you know, one of the things, Sean, that when you were in Congress, that was

so interesting was that you dealt a lot with people who were trying to go through the process legally, right? So they would put in the paperwork, they'd apply in their home country for a visa or some sort of wanting to become citizens. And it's a long, long process. I think it's too long of a process in many cases. But those people do it right. And it's so unfair to them to see how other people are doing. And by the way, terrorists coming through as well.

We know there's over 100 known terrorists that were caught just within the last few months. Yeah. So anyway, I just want to tell the story because, you know, sometimes the policies seem, if you don't live on the border, if you're not that poor rancher, for example, who, you know, shot an illegal coming onto his property, and now he's the one in trouble and facing criminal charges in Arizona. That may not be you, but it's affecting you. So as we mentioned, lots of people going to Mexico on vacation. A couple, they're about 30-some years old. The husband is a—they're both attorneys. The husband is a public defender in California

they go to Mexico on vacation they're having a great time they go out to dinner on their way home from dinner on their way to back to their resort they get stopped by the police and the police say hey you were speeding you did whatever and now you have to pay us and they said we don't have hardly any money and they said you know you got to pay us. And they said, we don't have hardly any money. And they said, you know, you got to pay us this amount of money. They only had $160 of which they handed over to them. But the cops, these corrupt cops were angry that they didn't have enough money. They go back to their, they give everything they could. They actually comment to each other. Wow, this is, we're lucky that that's all that happened to us. They took our 160 bucks. They go back to their hotel. They get ready for bed.

The wife falls asleep while the husband is getting ready for bed. And she's woken up at some point by the hotel staff who says, your husband has fallen off the balcony and he's dead. They tell her that he must have committed suicide. He had a gunshot wound. None of this made sense. What also didn't make sense is that she said, well, where is he? And he said, well, he was taken in an ambulance an hour ago, which makes no sense either.

Like, why wasn't the wife informed? Now she's back in the States. She's hired a lawyer. Of course, she feels like this was a corrupt cop retaliating against this couple. They probably followed them back to the resort because they didn't give them the amount of money they wanted. And she's trying to get to the bottom of this, obviously very hard to do. She's in California. She's trying to deal with these corrupt Mexican authorities. Just a really tragic story.

By the way, they were on vacation for their first year anniversary. Just horrible. And I'm not trying to destroy Mexico's tourist business. You know I love Mexico. It's one of my favorite places in the world to go on vacation. But because of Joe Biden, I would not let my children go on spring break. I spring break to Mexico when I would, you know, every, every decent Arizona State University student went on spring break in in, in Mexico, I wouldn't do it again. I wouldn't, you know,

under these policies, I wouldn't allow our children to go. And after our trip last year, what did I tell you? I said, I'm not going back to Mexico. Never again. I'm not going back to what's supposed to be paradise with a four-wheeler and machine guns riding in front of me to keep me safe. That doesn't feel like paradise to me. But there's a lot of places you can go

with your spouse or your family that are safer than Mexico. And again, there's a lot of good people who aren't in the drug trade that will suffer under these policies. But how do you get Mexico to change course? How do you get the government to actually engage? And maybe there's not enough money in tourism. There's just too much money in human trafficking and drug trafficking. They may not, but don't be complicit and don't risk the lives of your loved ones. Don't risk your lives doing it. And yeah, I just it's just so sad that in two years you can start to really see the effects of a destabilization of our closest neighbor where we have the most trade with Mexico, by the way, than any other country, even more than China.

than any other country, even more than China. So this is a- Thank you, Joe. Two years. Two years, this is what Joe Biden brought you. Donald Trump was going to classify the cartels as terrorist organizations and start to go after them. Joe Biden said, oh, no, no, no. We're going to let you make a little more money,

open up new lines of business for you, more fentanyl, more human trafficking, more sex trafficking. Yeah, very sad situation. Thank you, Joe. So that's the State of the Union, I guess. State of the Union. I know it's such a depressing note to end on, but. But we're still hopeful. Good people out there. Good Americans.

Keep fighting. I know it sounds kind of nag right now, but anyway, I just thought I think it's important to tell the truth. I think information is power.
