I'm Sean Duffy along with my co-host of the podcast, my partner in life and my wife, Rachel Campos Duffy. Hello, everyone. We're back with more conversations from our kitchen table. And today, Sean and I, we've been calling for this podcast, Sean. We've been wanting to do this podcast because we think the topic we're going to discuss in this podcast is the most important topic. It's the most important thing afflicting America right now.

And of course, that is the labeling of conservatives as extremists. And the unbelievable fact that Joe Biden actually did a speech confirming what we thought was happening is actually happening. So let's just actually right up here, right from the start, Sean, let's play this clip, remind our viewers of what Joe Biden said about conservatives and which conservatives he's willing to tolerate. I want to be very clear, very clear up front. Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology.

I know because I've been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there's no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country. So there's a couple of pieces of this that I want to say, Rachel. So he's talking about MAGA Republicans and MAGA Republicans are a threat to this country. And if you think a certain ideology, which I want to get into second, but the MAGA ideology is a threat to the country, you have to use every resource of the federal government to attack that ideology, to suppress that ideology, to demonize that ideology. And under that backdrop,

it makes then complete sense what Democrats and their agents in the FBI and the DOJ have been doing. We look at the raid at Mar-a-Lago, that they would go into Donald Trump's home, into Barron's bedroom and Melania's closet, and search his whole home. And Barron's bedroom, yes. For documents that they say belong to the federal government under this very broad warrant, which we've discussed in the past, that gives them a right to look for anything they can find of a crime of Donald Trump so they can take him out politically. But Donald Trump. Can I just go? Sure. You see how Machiavellic this plan is, because one of the first things that happened when Joe Biden was elected was the stand down in the military, because supposedly we had all these extremist domestic terrorists, MAGA Trump supporters in the military.

And believe me, I've had many military people tell me that the forced vaccination of our military during COVID Obama former Obama administration, actually explicitly said what we thought was happening, starting with, you know, January 6th. Right. Well, it's a good point, Rachel. And I mean, I look just to name a few they've now gone after and are trying to prosecute Steve Bannon, one of the architects for Donald Trump in the 2016 campaign, but also worked in the White House with Donald Trump. They arrested Peter Navarro at the airport, put him in shackles, top advisor to President Trump. Freedom Caucus members, Scott Perry with his family, the guy came and seized his cell phone. At an airport with his family and They came and seized his cell phone at an airport with his family and other Americans around him. Unbelievable. Remember, they went after Michael Flynn saying he lied to the to the FBI. And listen, he was appointed as a national security adviser for President Trump. And in anticipation of that role was having conversations with

russians and chinese and you know foreign countries job now that was going to be his job and again they've changed the rules to say oh no you are you know violating the logan act right the logan act and you're committing crimes here now you've lied to us total scam um but prosecutor michael finn they went after roger why do i know the logan act it's because it's nobody knew the logan act until michael flynn um and now they've they've the fbi went after mike lindell the my pillow guy um they want to seize his phone as well well because mike lindell was a supporter of a thought that you know what this election wasn't fair and you know, in America you have the right to speak freely

about how you think elections went. And Mike Lindell says, listen, this election was tainted, this election was stolen, and has given money to the cause of trying to investigate the last election. And if I recall, Sean... In a free country you can do that. Well, Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, Kamala

Harris, Kareem John... Pierre? Pierrere all of these people questioned the 2016 election the legitimacy of donald trump so democrats are allowed to do this but but nobody else is and listen i personally think that the only thing that we need to focus on in terms of the election in 2020 is Hunter Biden's laptop. We've done a whole podcast on that. That act alone, the suppression of that laptop was enough to change the election. And there are there is very good polling to prove that. So anyone questioning the election is not an extremist. And as I said, it goes on both sides. I think what we're seeing, Sean, is there's no more equal justice.

There's one rules for Democrats. We saw that with Hillary and her emails. But now it's not just big figures. It's now going down to everyday people. So you made an interesting point and ties into what we're talking about today, which is the Hunter Biden laptop. It's now going down to everyday people. So you made an interesting point and ties into what we're talking about today, which is the Hunter Biden laptop. It was obviously big tech. We all know this suppressed the story of the foreign deals that Hunter Biden was having with other countries and the fact that Joe Biden was actually taking a cut of the money that Hunter Biden was making, selling his father as the vice president. That's a big guy. The big guy. Right. And it also calls into question is Joe Biden compromised.

And what the key to the story is now that we know after Mark Zuckerberg did his interview was that, oh, the FBI went to Facebook and probably others and said, there's some Russian disinformation that's going to be coming out soon. And you probably want to be on the lookout for it. And the next day, this story drops from the New York Post about Hunter Biden laptop. Oh, it's like, this must be what the FBI was talking about. You have ruling participants in Facebook. It's not hard to twist Mark Zuckerberg or the Google company or any of these other places or the New York Times, not hard to convince them that, you know, they should go with the Russia disinformation.

And they basically they all stops. No one questioned it. Once that was said, they all went along. So we have Russian. So we have Russian. We have FBI and DOJ interference in the 2020 election by trying to suppress actual evidence that could change the way people vote. Good information, truthful information about Joe Biden and his son selling America out to foreign powers. Potentially Americans have a right to know that before they vote.

And now fast forward, it's that very same FBI, that very same DOJ that says, oh, now we have to investigate Donald Trump. As you always make this point, we're not going to look in Hunter Biden's bedroom, but we need to look into Barron's bedroom because that's where the crimes were committed. But this is and again, it's the same FBI that's playing politics, the same DOJ that's playing politics with all the wokesters in there that have gone after Steve Bannon, that have gone after Peter Navarro. I just wanted to finish my list off. Remember, Roger Stone was arrested

in the early morning hours. CNN was tipped off to watch him get cuffed and stuffed as he was sent into FBI headquarters. George Papadopoulos was prosecuted. Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's lawyer,

who then turned on Donald Trump, but was his lawyer, prosecuted, flipped him. Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, all people associated with Donald Trump. And if you look at the crimes for which they're charged, it's about, oh, you lied to the FBI. I'm going to tell you what, prosecuting a Republican in Washington, D.C. and saying you lied to the FBI, that's a winner every single time. You can't lose that case as the FBI because 95 percent of those people in Washington, D.C. that are part of that jury pool voted for Democrats.

Five percent voted for Donald Trump and Republicans. So you're going to get partisans on a jury panel and to say the Republican has half a chance in a case in Washington, D.C.? It's not feasible. It's not possible. Which is why then it's like, oh, Republicans have been convicted of all these crimes or doing all these bad things, which, by the way, if they decide to prosecute Donald Trump, they will do it in Washington, D.C.

95% of the people have voted against him. So again, this is this corruption and rot that has taken place in Washington, D.C., within the FBI, the DOJ, within the deep state. And to your point, Rachel, there's not a there's not a fair shake. Justice is not blind. It's one sided. A certain set of policies and justice for Republicans, a different set of policies for Democrats. Yeah. I mean, you talk to anyone in Venezuela and they'll tell you the corruption of the justice system in favor of the ruling party and against their opposition is the sign of, you know,

that's the end. That's when you knew that the socialist experiment was nearly complete in Venezuela and the opposition leaders had to flee. But what I see is, you know, you talk a lot, Sean, you and I off the podcast about this slow boil, right? They do this slow boil and we start to get normalized to these things that seemed literally impossible, you know, 10, 5, 10, 15 years ago. You just would say, though, that doesn't happen in America. But the speech really shows the next step, right? Because he invoked MAGA Republicans, not Donald Trump exclusively, which they've already made a boogeyman out of him.

And he's a little easier to go after. And Donald Trump always said, Sean, I'm just between you and them. They're coming for me because they're really coming for you. Well, now they really are. And in a really shocking story. So on January 6th, by the way, you listed your list of people that the FBI has gone after. They went after 900. They've already charged 910 people in connection with January 6th.th now a few of those people did things that were you know definitely breaking the law i believe they were handled more harshly than anyone on you know during the riots of of george floyd but they've also ensnared

grandmas many of them who weren't even in the building people who weren't even in the building, people who weren't even in the building, who were just there. And by the way, all of the people who went to the to the rally outside, not near the Capitol, but in front of the the mall, if you will, in Washington, D.C., the FBI geo forced all of their phones, which are geo-fenced. Geo-fenced. I'm sorry, geo-fenced. I never thought that could happen in America either. Sean, explain what that means when they geo-fence you. Well, listen, they partner with Verizon or AT&T, and they're able to pull those records to see who's pinging off what towers,

and they can then isolate and pinpoint what phones are in what locations during that event. And if your cell phone pings at that event, we can do a reverse lookup and go, oh, that phone belongs to Rachel Campbell-Stuffy. If her phone was there, I bet that she was there too. Let's go knock on her door and talk to her. They also worked with banks in some of those geofencing as well. Well, what they did with banks is they looked at records to see, well, who came from some other state to Washington, D.C. on January 5th and on January 6th and bought a hotel and went to a restaurant, had charges, usually maybe in

Wyoming or in Utah or in Florida or Texas, Wisconsin. But on those couple of days, they're in Washington, D.C. with charges. Maybe they should look at them, too. And they did. We'll have more of this conversation after this. This episode is brought to you by Mejuri.

But anyway, if you put that aside, here's this next step. So this week on Tucker Carlson, a New Jersey woman came on and she explained that the day after Joe Biden's speech, the one we played for you a clip of at the beginning of the podcast, the day after the FBI showed up at her home because somebody, probably a neighbor that was annoyed because she admits that she had a pro-Trump sign in front of her house. Somebody called the FBI and said, I know an extremist.

It's this lady, my neighbor, whoever. And the FBI showed up at her home. So listen to what it feels like to be an American citizen who supports Donald Trump. I was terrified. And I'll be honest with you, when my daughter woke me up telling me there were three armed FBI officers at my door, I thought she was joking.

And I immediately tried to throw clothes on. I called my husband. I was crying. My knees were shaking. And even though I knew I'd done nothing wrong, after seeing Joe Biden's speech the night before, I thought, oh, my God, this is political. And I was frightened. I truly thought they can take me out of here in handcuffs. And I thought I'm in my bedroom. I thought, am I not coming home?

So I went outside and I said, gentlemen, you're scaring me. And they proceeded to tell me that they were given an anonymous tip that I was at the Capitol on January 6th. And so the message of that, Rachel, is, you know what? If you're a Trump supporter, if you post things online that support Donald Trump, this radical MAGA movement, we are coming for you. You don't have the right of free speech anymore. We are going to persecute and prosecute you for the thought crimes of believing that you

should live in a free enterprise system with free speech, with the ability to own guns and civilly disagree with your government. Those days are gone. And what this does is tells everyone else in her orbit, do not do not do what she did because the FBI might take that sign out of your, off of your lawn. Don't wear that MAGA hat. Don't go to that rally for that MAGA candidate. And before the midterms, you might be ID by the, by your neighbor.

I mean, by the way, it's so obvious that what happened is it was a neighbor who did this. To me, it's just apparent. But it could be a family member. And I'll tell you, this is, again, very communist. This is what happened in the Cultural Revolution. This is what happened in Cuba. This is what happened in the Soviet Union.

This is what happened in the Eastern Bloc. People who want to who believe the ruling regime's line or want to curry favor with the ruling party turn in their relatives turn in their children turn in their uncle turn in their co-workers this is this it's so fascinating to me sean it makes me so damn mad because this president talks so much about unity he talks so much about bringing Americans together. And all he is doing is dividing. The division under Joe Biden is 100 times worse than anything they claimed happened under Donald Trump. You know, I look at the FBI and the tools that are being used, Rachel, to go after someone who sits in their home and puts a MAGA sign out in front and post some things online. And the FBI shows up at their door. And then you look out across to the West Coast and to Portland, Oregon,

where you have Antifa wearing black attire with masks covering everything but their eyes and then goggles over their eyes and helmets on and sticks and the violence that they have bestowed on law enforcement, the attacks they've had on the federal courthouse in Portland. It's a federal courthouse. Where is the FBI been in the prosecution of anyone with Antifa cracking the Antifa network that is raining tear on certain cities across America? They're nowhere to be found because the Democrat Party is aligned with Antifa, or many of them are aligned with Antifa, even with Black Lives Matter. And those who fomented the violence in our streets to burn and beat people in the streets, to terrorize diners that were having a meal in an outside restaurant, whether it was in Washington, D.C. or in New York City

or other places across the country. The FBI has been nowhere to be found. But they can go after parents who are protesting CRT in a Virginia school. Oh, those are the domestic terrorists. Do you see how it's just been this use of domestic terrorists? Domestic terrorists have been the slow boil, the slow boil. I'll tell you, Sean, there's two other things that remind me of the communists. You know, these parallels between what happened in communist countries and what's happening here.

And one of them is is interesting because it's the media. In the communist countries, they had to take out the media in order to get their way. Here, you don't have to take out the media. It's this new way of doing it. Oh, they're willing participants. Yes. Well, they're completely participating in the liberal Democrat line.

And as we saw, it's the media that says when Joe Biden calls and says, you need to suppress these folks who are saying things that we don't agree with in regard to COVID, you need to take them offline, whether it's Facebook or Twitter, and they willingly complied. And so you're right, they do have a partner. And the use of mobs, you just talked about that, the use of mobs to terrorize people. And again, you see that there's this great article and I've got to pull up the author of it in just a second. So people can go to this article. But this stuff has all been done before in Europe, in Europe, the MAGA party. For example, if you're in Spain, the Vox party is essentially the MAGA party. fame. The Vox party is essentially the MAGA party. They believe in all the same anti-globalist,

you know, Spain first in their case, just like we're America first in MAGA. Same thing. But what the European press and the European Union and all the elites have done is any party that espouses those kind of MAGA ideas, but remember, they're for Europe, is now a fascist. And so they basically just make make people afraid to affiliate with these ideas that they actually agree with because they're afraid of being called a fascist. It worked in Europe. And again, their party also is the Vox party, for example, is the party of the working class and much the way. There's a lot of parallels. And those kind of parties exist throughout Europe. But they are totally marginalized by the use of the term fascism, which is very effective, by the way, in Europe, maybe even more so in Europe than that in America.

But that is what they're trying to do here. And the question, Sean, and I ask it to you because, you know, of your time in Congress and your your knowledge of so many of the people, the really close relationships you have with so many people in Congress is what the hell is the Republican Party doing about this? What are they going to do? I think this is an existential threat to the party, because when when when Joe Biden says it's the MAGA wing of the party, that's 90% of us. Well, the MAGA wing of the party, he calls it extreme. The MAGA wing of the party, again, believes that we should have secure borders. We should have safe streets.

We should have less government involved in our lives. We should actually protect unborn babies and we should protect the Second Amendment. And we probably shouldn't castrate children. We shouldn't castrate children. We should support families and family formation. All things that are very traditional Americana is what Joe Biden is saying is extreme because he and the Democrat Party have gone to this new Marxist ideology, this new globalism, which traditional America is an affront to. And they have to attack it and demonize it and destroy it. And so I think it's important for the Congress to actually do oversight. I've said that a million times, Rachel, the power of the Congress to do oversight and to hold funding hostage, if you will, for compliance of that

oversight. And so let's say this can happen with the majority. I mean, OK, so let me just if Republicans take over the majority in the House, but they don't win the Senate, Joe Biden is still the president. Republicans in the House can't pass any legislation because Chuck Schumer is never going to agree with them, with Kevin McCarthy, and Joe Biden's never going to sign it. So you can't pass any bills. But when you control one chamber, which Republicans would control the House, you get to do oversight over the administration. And you also are the place in the Constitution where funding begins. You have the power of the purse.

the place in the Constitution where funding begins. You have the power of the purse. And so you can tie your oversight and the compliance of that oversight to the money that you fund these different agencies. And they have to be rigid. But would they be willing to say to the FBI, for example, you either get rid of their top leadership or we're defending the FBI? No, no, no, no, no. And I don't want them to do that because this is this is the purview of the president. He does get to appoint people into the FBI. But the FBI is charged with not being a political machine for Joe Biden or for any party. They're about administering justice in the country.

So once you do once you do oversight, then you expose the rot within the agency. And then the public hopefully comes comes to your aid and puts pressure on Joe Biden and the FBI to clean house and the Democrats as well to go. This is untenable because what could be used against Republicans today? We love it, but that could be used against us tomorrow. Maybe we should stop. I don't see that happening. And frankly, they play all kinds of tricks. You saw what they did with Denshenko, the guy involved in the Russia hoax.

He gave false information and lies. To the dossier. About the dossier. And then they suddenly made him like a human, a confidential human, what's that? Resource or asset. Asset. And so then the house couldn't the house couldn't investigate him because they said oh we have you know these

secret practices and he's under you know this umbrella you guys can't talk to him his name was never disclosed so he was the key i mean if you were able to interview danchenko basically you see the whole investigation you just go okay this is this.S. and this is a B.S. thing that happened. And the whole Russia hoax was out. So they kept him in secret. The aggression of going after Republicans is it's smart on their part. I 100 percent disagree with it, but it's smart because what they want to do is silence you. They want you to think that it's not worth it to stand up and be heard. And if you're silent and you're like, yeah, you know what? Listen,

you know, I, my job is too important or my business could, you know, get audited by, you know, 87,000 new FBI agents. I'm not willing. I'm not willing to say anything. I'm going to let my neighbor do it, Or I'm going to go to some political event. I'm going to let those people do it. But I'm not going to. I'm going to let Sean and Rachel talk about it on Fox News. There's a lot of people who are outsourcing their voice to cable news people. And we are not going to change this if it's only people on Fox and a couple people in your town. I mean, it's not going to change this if it's only people on Fox and a couple people in your town. I mean,

it's not going to change. There is no cavalry coming over the hill to help America out and save us from this Marxism and attack on Republicans, attack on traditional America. You are the cavalry. And if you don't come to defend her,'s gonna go we are going to lose her i'm a firm believer in that and again it's it's it's and i and i understand the trade i mean it's like we all want to go like oh listen let someone else do it this is too much for me and if everyone says that this minority group you know of marxists are able to take our country from us everybody has to stand up and i'm and i And I bring that up because I think what's so important about Donald Trump is that when Donald Trump says things from the podium

at his rallies and speeches, common sense things, and you see a crowd of people going, oh my God, he's absolutely right. Common sense, right? That gives courage to others to go, listen, the emperor has no clothes. These Democrats are idiots. These policies were ever tried. California, Illinois, New York, they don't work. They're absolute failures. And what they're trying to make our country into, it's what it's never been. And so Donald Trump, when he says things from the podium, gives people courage to stand up and repeat it.

If you think you're buying a Twitter account, they could not give him that because they couldn't let him speak directly. That's right. They have every chance they get. They marginalize him from media. They marginalize him from from social media. There's no question. You're absolutely right about that. But I'm going to go back to you for another bite of this apple, Sean, because I don't feel like a lot of your colleagues are channeling the anger and frankly, the fear like that New Jersey mom had in her voice when the FBI showed up at her house. I don't feel like they're channeling that fear. I don't feel like they're fighting hard enough for us. I feel like they're, and maybe they're nervous because they just want to win in the midterms

and don't want to say anything. But I just don't think we're in those times. We'll be back with much more after this. This episode is brought to you by Miller Lite. Miller Lite's all about celebrating friendships, especially during fantasy football season. And there's no better way to show your friends slash fantasy league's last place finisher

that you love them than Miller Lite's Last Placements, where you can get their face on a billboard. Yep, a real billboard. Just go to lastplacements.com to find out how. Miller Lite. Tastes like Miller time. I'm going to defend my former colleagues and my wife right now. So you're in election season, right?

And strategizing, planning, thinking through what you're going to do, the team that you're going to build, how you're going to do your oversight, because I'm pretty certain Republicans are going to win the House. Doing that's imperative to hit the ground running on January 3rd when you take over the House. Okay, really important. It would be foolish for them to say, hey, we're going to lay out this plan right now on what we're going to do with our oversight. And I want to give you confidence that we're going to do it. I'm not saying lay out your oversight plan. That doesn't actually excite me. I want to hear some outrage.

Let me play for you a clip of a warrior that I like on the conservative side. His name is Ned Ryan. A lot of you have seen him on Fox News. He is, of course, the founder and CEO of the American majority. Here's what he told Jesse Waters the other day talking about this issue. Republicans in D.C. should probably stop despising their base. And then the next step is they should stop being afraid of the corporate propagandists and the semi-senile person in the White House and go on the attack and actually define what is extreme.

What is extreme is to actually butcher babies up to the moment of birth. What's extreme is to actually allow millions of illegal aliens in, destroying our border and destroying the idea of national sovereignty. What's extreme is to actually let people advance the idea that somehow mutilating underage children is perfectly normal. What's also extreme is to allow hardened criminals back onto the streets so they can kill again all america first types want law and order respecting our national sovereignty protect the lives of our children and you know even i even throw in jesse maybe free and fair elections while we're at it yeah i mean that i guess that's how i wish a lot more of them would talk am i wrong for wanting that i think ned must have listened to a podcast that we had about three weeks ago, four weeks ago when I was saying the exact same thing.

They have to fight back. I'm not saying you're not. No, no, you're not. I'm saying that that righteous anchor, where is it? Especially when it comes to people, the federal government attacking and investigating and calling extremists your own voters. mitigating and calling extremists your own voters so here's i so i this is really hard for me to kind of talk about because it brings it brings me back into the house and let me tell you are you getting ptsd a little bit so this is the frustration that i can say these things from the house floor i can say them in a committee hearing because they end up on cnn

where nobody listens no so c so C-SPAN. I mean, C-SPAN. C-SPAN, yeah. And when Democrats say something, it's amplified by CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times. The View might play your clip. Good Morning America might play it too. Their voice is amplified.

So I might be, these people that you, in the Congress, that you're saying you don't appreciate that they're not fighting hard enough. I'm not here. I don't know that. I don't know that they have a voice that you would hear them unless they're coming on Fox. And, you know, Michael Waltz, I think you hear Michael Waltz. You'll hear from him. You'll hear, you know, Jim Jordan. You'll hear. So you have the lead of Comer, who's going to lead the oversight committee. He's great. These guys are the leaders of the committees and the thought leaders in the Congress.

And they're the ones that are saying, this is what we're going to do. They're saying the right thing. And the other ones don't have the platform to get on Fox or on other networks and be heard. So when you hear Kevin McCarthy and Scalise and Comer and Jim Jordan, and that's the leadership of the Republican Party that is going to drive a knife through this issue. And and by the way, if they if they for some odd chance, I'm wrong and they don't do it. The American people are in the Republican base. The conservative base are going to be absolutely livid Sean, live in agreed.

And so what we're seeing is a style. So I personally I was one of those people that never apologized for Trump. So I like Trump style. I liked I felt like we were in a moment in history. We're telling it like it is counts. And actually, as you were describing everything, because we're talking style, I believe that they're going to do the oversight.

I actually believe that's going to happen. But that righteous anger, I actually feel great about after the midterms, because there's going to be a bunch of Latina Republicans in the house. And I think they are going to fight in the way that I like. That was a joke. I latino women i married one i think it's gonna actually no i mean that sincerely i actually like that when i hear um who's the girl uh vega um uh leslie vega leslie vega uh mayra flores i mean these women they speak in a way that i can relate to like i love their righteous english anger and i love how clear clear they are and they don't speak in that washington you know googly gook

where they're just trying to be friendly and nice they speak clearly um common sense i'm i'm excited for after so but here this goes back to a point that I always made in Congress and I make even today, which is the Congress doesn't lead. The people lead. Right. So what the people want, the Congress is a reflection of. And that's why when you see AOC, she's a reflection of her district. Jim Jordan is a reflection of his district.

These pockets of America send people who reflect their values and their ideas. And I think the folks, I mean, if you just look at the primaries right now, Donald Trump's record of America first and the people that are winning primaries are not the softy, wishy-washy. You're right. It is people who believe that we are going to fight and win for America on these ideas. A young woman who just won in New Hampshire, who had actually worked for Elise Stefanik and had worked in the Trump White House. They tried to call her KKK and they tried to smear her with that. And she just won in her primary.

But she also beat a Republican who had run the last time and lost in the general, but he also worked for Donald Trump. So you had two candidates that both worked for Trump themselves and she won. She was definitely the most aggressive of the two, to your point.

Well, Tucker had her on a couple of days before and I would imagine that probably put her over the top or she was able to get a message out on the top rated cable network. Just said having that platform to speak that message again. I think this is this is a crucial election in a way. I mean, our economy is tanking. There's all these issues.

But, Sean, I believe there is no issue more important than the weaponization of the federal government and of law enforcement against American citizens who oppose the ruling party. This is this is dangerous, dangerous territory that we're in. And as much as I care about what happened at the stock market, as much as I care about and I know people are suffering at the grocery store, this is so fundamental to who we are. And if we lose this, we lose this country. Well, you're right. And again, when you when you use use the FBI and the DOJ to put people in jail, it makes the fight for the school system a lot harder. It makes the fight for life a lot harder because you've weaponized your government against you. And this is what authoritarian Marxist regimes do. And that's what's happening right now. And so I want to just come back to this point as we close out our podcast and say, you are the cavalry.

You have to stand up and defend people who are being attacked. You have to lend your voice to this cause. And if you don't, no one else is there. They are a minority. And they've taken over all these spaces as a minority in government. But I think so many people are regurgitating the woke socially, and that's in quotes, socially acceptable lines. But in their hearts, I don't think they believe it. We all have to stand together and stand up and push back on

this or we're going to lose. And I love the country too much. I love my kids too much. And I think as you think about sitting there silently, letting someone else defend America, think about your kids. Think about your grandkids. Think about the history of your life and what you're going to pass off to them to go, did I really not fight for the greatest country that's ever existed on the face of the earth? I let it slip to a bunch of radical Marxists. I let it go. Or if I did lose it, I fought like hell to keep it. I fought like hell to make sure I could pass off what I inherited. I want to pass it off to the next generation. And I fought to make that happen. And I might have lost, but I did all I

could to make sure that they don't destroy this country because that's exactly what they're trying to do. And I'm a firm believer that patriots will do that. And again, peacefully, peacefully lend your voice, you know, lend your dollars to the cause. And lend your support. I love what you were talking about. Like when this happens to somebody.

So let's say you live in the neighborhood where that poor New Jersey mom had the FBI show up at her house. I hope everyone who was a Trump supporter in that neighborhood line. First of all who was a Trump supporter in that neighborhood, first of all, love on that woman. Support her. Let her know that she is not

marginalized, that she is not to be shamed about this. And everybody should put magazines all over their yards. Fill the neighborhood with magazines. Find out who that damn neighbor is who turned her in. But also show love on Facebook. Show love on Twitter, show love

at her house. That's a really good point, Rachel. People get canceled and then other people don't show up to support them. And that's you're part of the mob if you're not doing that. Silence is violence.

Silence is violence. Isn't that what the leftists... There's a number of people that everyone listening to this podcast you would all know their names um we've talked about them on the podcast here many times and when they've had bad things when they've been attacked um and when i'm allowed i speak publicly about it but also i've called them individually to go i stand with you and what's happening to you is this bold bleep right that was me bleeping myself um because i think it's it's important i do that too when people when

people i know and love get canceled um and i know that they are you know good people standing up and doing what they think is right times it feels dark in their dark moments i'm i always reach out to them i i make it a point of that i stand with you personally call them and let them know that i i'm with you i hear you um and i support you and let me know if there's anything i can do so i think that those are simple things that we all could do but most you know most importantly we gotta vote we have to vote um these these authoritarians out these globalists we do and so i but again going back to kind of wrap this up, Rachel, the FBI and the DOJ are complete political hacks right now.

They're agents and advocates for the Democrat Party. They're attacking Republicans and using the Constitution and the power that we've given them to go after one side of the aisle. It's outrageous and it's outrageous. And it can stop. We can win. But you have to win an election so you can expose it. So we still have enough good people who remember what it used to be like in America to go, we don't do that.

And I hope we don't go here. But you need smart Democrats to go. This has gone too far. And when they think it can only happen to Republicans, they can kind of be okay with it. But if all of a sudden the tools of the government are used against them, all of a sudden they're like, whoa, whoa, this is. They know we're conservatives. Conservatives want to conserve the system.

They want to fundamentally transform and blow up the system and rebuild it, build back better. I'm telling you, I want to build back. I'm telling you what, Rachel, I'm telling you, you're an optimist, Sean. I do not believe that they're just I do not believe there are enough normal Democrats left. I think they have all been put under this woke AOC spell. When you when you say they know we won't do it, Sean. No Republican is going to look at when they're not going to tolerate Donald Trump weaponizing.

If he wins in 2024, they're not going to tolerate. There are so many Republicans that would stand up against Donald Trump. If he weaponized the FBI against Democrats, but that won't happen. At that point, is it weaponization? There's a standard now that's been set.

Right. And this standard that's now been set right and this standard that's now been set you can't go back to the old standard you have to use this standard and use it against democrats and then they might go then let's impeach biden oh let's go impeach joe biden 100 do you think we should 100 joe biden should be impeached yes he should be impeached i'm with you twice impeach him twice there's plenty there i mean all we now all we have to do is get a forensic audit on hunter biden's dealings and everything else the guy's compromise is very obvious okay absolutely sean we're gonna end on a on a point

of agreement here listen i just want to listen to this podcast you see i i say i say a couple words and then that's why rachel loves latinas They just talk over these poor white guys like me that just have to be covered in the corner and can't get a word in edgewise with a Latina. Sorry. Once you said impeach Joe Biden, you had me at impeach Joe Biden. That's, you have to play the,

you're saying they won't learn until we actually do to them what they did to us. Yes. And I think I want to go back to the way it was, but I need every American to go. We got to go back. We got to go back to these traditions. And unless they, they, they feel what it's like to go, Oh, this is how you can use the power of government against me.

I don't really like that. Let's go back to the way we had it before where justice was blind. I'm sorry. I just don't believe I honestly, I don't believe that the Republican Party has the guts oh she of they call her she of little faith well with that disagreement on a disagreement and agreement um on on agreement on Joe Biden's future and disagreement on whether the Republicans have the guts and the hard to do it um I want to thank you for participating in a little Duffy family feud here on the podcast

and navigating these very difficult topics. And you know, you got to laugh sometimes, but this is serious. It's serious stuff. And we know you guys are talking about it around your own kitchen tables and with your kids. So save America, stand up, lend your voice to the cause of freedom. And your kids will thank you. Your grandkids will thank you. And so Rachel and I thank you. It's too important.
