From the Kitchen Table: The Duffys - Why The Democrats Are Hiding President Biden

Episode Date: November 3, 2022

With less than a week until the 2022 Midterm Elections, Sean and Rachel sit down to discuss President Biden's absence from key states along the campaign trail, and why the Democrats have instead counted on former President Obama to rally voters. Later, they discuss the CDC removing pronouns from flu vaccine guidance, and why Rachel believes the move signals the government's erasure of women.

I'm Sean Duffy, a part of my co-host for the podcast, and my wife, Rachel Campos Duffy. So great to be here back at our kitchen table. Hello, everybody. We have a couple of really hot topics. So first, of course, everyone's talking about the midterms and there's somebody oddly missing on the campaign trail, and that would be the president of the United States. But also we're going to talk about the CDC because the CDC is supposed to be giving life-saving advice, but now they are giving guidelines that don't refer to women as women. And there's some confusion that could actually affect people's health. Go figure. We'll get to that. But first, let's talk about the midterms, because Barack Obama is everywhere, Sean, all over the country. Yes, and I think it's smart to bring in the best,

the best surrogates you have to bring out the most voters for you and for your party. And so oftentimes when you have a sitting president, that is the big dog in politics. And if they come to see you in your district or your state to campaign for you, that's a big deal. And a lot of candidates oftentimes will lobby or pressure the administration to come and do events for them because it's a substantial lift in a campaign. That's not the case with Joe Biden. Joe Biden has been spending a lot of time in his basement in Delaware or hanging out in the White House in Washington, D.C., but he's not spent a lot of time on the campaign trail. He did go to Pennsylvania and campaign for Fetterman.

He's going to Florida where they know they're going to lose. He did make a stop in Wisconsin as well. But oddly, Joe Biden is not making a stop in Arizona, Nevada, or Georgia. Now, those three states have really competitive Senate races right now. And those three states, Joe Biden won by a hair. So if he was helpful in those states, no doubt he would go to those states. But Joe Biden is staying home. Yeah, it's interesting. Our daughter actually went to the Obama event in Milwaukee

and said, now this is a young lady. She's 23 years old. She's an editor for, or a writer for the Federalist. She's also a campaign child, like grew up on the campaign trail, has been to countless Trump rallies. And when she, so she's just somebody who knows what a rally that's brimming at the

seams looks like bursting at the seams. Of course, she went to many Trump rallies in Wisconsin and she was there for several hours interviewing people in line. And as they were getting ready for Barack Obama to come out and she said the crowds were thin. That never happened at a Trump rally. Sean, you've been to many Trump rallies in Wisconsin as well. I mean, have you ever seen a thin crowd, even an hour before a Trump rally? And I don't know. I mean, what do you think that means in Milwaukee, of all places,

where, you know, that's a deep blue area in Wisconsin. Well, two things. One, when Trump does his rallies now, there's still massive crowds and big lines. But also traditionally, Barack Obama still gets big crowds. He's able to energize voters in the Democrat Party. He's able to bring out big numbers and people want to see him. What's interesting, though, in this cycle is that people actually don't want to come out and see Barack Obama because they're not excited about Democrats, Democrat policies and what they've actually done to the country. And so you mentioned our daughter, Revita. They said that Barack Obama was speaking at a high school gymnasium. Yes. And the way they set the stage at the gymnasium was to funnel people right in the middle of the area in front of the stage,

where if you have the camera shot going from the back to the front of the stage where the speaker is speaking, it looks like there's a lot of people there, a lot of excitement. But they had corralled everyone into the front. Now, to think that Barack Obama can't fill up a high school gymnasium in Wisconsin in a campaign year with an aggressive Senate race, Ron Johnson running for a third term, Tony Evers is defending the governorship, that you can't pack the crowd in Milwaukee is actually shocking. And I think it speaks to the point that there's not a lot of enthusiasm for Democrats because of what they've done to our country in just a short period of time, not even two years. Yeah, I mean, a lot of the people who would come to a rally for a Barack Obama in Milwaukee are poor people, are working class people in the Milwaukee area.

And no one's been hurt more than black families, poor families, working class families. They're feeling it. And yeah, I think it's hard to generate that kind of enthusiasm. What do you make of the fact that Barack Obama is going out to Nevada, Sean? How do you feel about that race? I think wherever Obama goes, he is effective. I think he, you know, can it's not just people that come, I should say, you know, he had a low turnout at the Milwaukee event. But we saw clips all over Wisconsin when he came on TV. You see clips on the national news.

That's a big deal. Just the press that comes after the arrival of. Did he seem rusty to you, though? I thought he seemed rusty. He seemed tired, like that same old, you know, class warfare. It's interesting because it's one thing to be down. Can he place? Yeah, but it's also he was hitting Ron Johnson for being ritual.

Barack Obama is fabulously wealthy right now, flying on jets, three, three mansions, one in Hawaii, private jets. And then he was hitting Ron Johnson for being rich. And by the way, for actually having a company that he and his family built and his wife built. But like he was hitting them for having private jets. Sean, do you think that Barack is flying commercial? I'd love to see the pictures of that Barack Obama on a Delta flight up in first class. That does not happen. He's flying, no doubt, on private aircraft.

What does this tell you about the race, Sean? Well, I think what this tells me is one, I think one, Obama's effective. That's why he comes out. If you have a tough race, bring Barack Obama in. He'll come for you, number one. Is he effective or is he just the only one that they got? I mean, he's all they got right now. He's the best one they have, right?

So you send out the best surrogate that you can get to come and campaign for you. And that, I mean, let's be honest. I mean, I'm not a fan of Barack Obama, but Democrats like him, independents like him. And the problem for Joe Biden, though, is that his poll ratings are so bad. He was at 40%. And not only are they low, but he doesn't generate any excitement when he's on the campaign trail, when he's on the stump. He doesn't speak clearly with authority. He doesn't generate any excitement when he's on the campaign trail, when he's on the stump. He doesn't speak clearly with authority.

He doesn't energize people. So think back into 2018. So that's the midterms for Donald Trump. Donald Trump hit the campaign trail. Everyone wanted Donald Trump to come to their district or their state to campaign for them. And Donald Trump was rating in the low 40s, his approval rating, about where Joe Biden is right now. But you see the difference. Donald Trump had a love from the party, the party faithful. The base wanted to see him. They wanted to hear from him.

They got in the lines that you talked about. I mean, massive hours to come in and hear him give a rally. So that that part of it, I think, is a distinct difference between what even and even Barack Obama in in 2010, when I won in the Congress, he came and hit the campaign trail because, again, he had low approval ratings. People didn't like his policies, but they still liked him. And he was an effective surrogate on the campaign. But Sean, do you remember 2008 when he could fill up amphitheaters and now he can't fill up a gymnasium in Milwaukee? I think it's really interesting. I just got back from Staten Island doing some work for Fox and Friends. The enthusiasm for now, I know this is a kind of a Republican area, but it's still New York City. It's still New York area. People are tired. They are they really are are enthusiastic for Lee Zeldin.

Let me give you a stat, Sean. There's early voting numbers already. So you have the Bronx and and Staten Island. The Bronx is three times the size of Staten Island. And the early voting numbers for Staten Island and the Bronx are about the same. And mind you, Republicans tend to vote on voting on the election day. And so I think this spells disaster for the Democrats. Here's why. So if you don't live in New York, right, it's fun to vote. I don't live in New York, it's fun to I don't live in New York, nor do you. Although I went to Staten Island, I was like, maybe we should have lived in Staten

Island. Those are good people there. So what's interesting about this and why everyone kind of cares about these races, not just how well are Republicans doing in really blue states. So again, New York state is a 60, 40 state, 60 Democrat, 40 Republican. And Lee Zeldin is within striking distance. He can win the governor's race. But what's important is that Democrats have to spend millions of dollars in a deep blue state to defend Kathy Hochul. The money that's spent in New York state can't be spent in other races across the country. They're spending money in the state of Washington.

Smiley, I forget her first name. She's a great candidate. She is. Strong. Yeah, so they're spending money in deep blue Washington to defend that Senate seat Democrats are. And again, they're losing in Nevada. It's a tight race in Arizona.

I think they're losing in Georgia. And it's a tight race in Arizona. I think they're losing in Georgia. And it's a tight race in Pennsylvania, spending big money on all of those races, which leaves less money to go to a race like Ron Johnson, the race in Michigan. We didn't mention that. That's right. That's a big race. It's a big race. But that was supposed to be a shoe in for for Democrats. Well, Gretchen, I think what I think what we look back, by the way, I do think Tudor Dixon's going to win. That's my prediction. I think Tudor Dixon's going to win.

I think she's going to beat Gretchen Whitmer. And I think when we look back at that loss for the Democrats, it's going to be that moment in the town and in the in the debate when Gretchen Whitmer said the kids were only locked down for three months. I think that and you can't you know, they've been trying to lie in New York when I was at the diner in Staten Island. One of the things that the diners kept saying is that Hochul, Governor Hochul must not live in our state, like in our city. Like, how can she say that crime's not as bad as it is? And the same thing, I think, with Gretchen Whitmer. I mean, for her to tell parents who had their kids in Michigan in their kitchen tables doing their classwork over Zoom that they were only there for three months.

I mean, how did she think she could get away with that? And I think that really angered people because I think there's a lot of residual anger about COVID policies, about the lies, about the businesses that were destroyed, about the masking of children and the way it hurt people, about the lying over the vaccine and its efficacy, about trying to limit people's ability to travel and move around the country based on these on rules and regulations that weren't, you know, science based. I think people are really angry about that. I've told you this too, Sean, in states like Arizona and Nevada, where the Hispanic vote is going to be a big deal. I think it's one of the sleeper issues is the elitism. Those people who were the

working class, who worked in restaurants and hot kitchens and had to wear masks for over a year, and then they had to serve food to rich people like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi at our fundraisers who weren't wearing masks. The elitism of it, I think, is grating and they haven't forgot it. I don't think anybody's ever done a poll on that. I wish I could. I wish I had a lot of money. I would hire a poll on that because I would fund one because I think that there's a lot of residual covid anger.

I think you're going to see that come out in Michigan. And I think that comment she made just sort of touched a hot issue there. But the lies, The point of servants wearing masks and those attending the party don't. This is just gross. So un-American. It's disgusting. But here's what I think is, I'm a believer that you make mistakes in life.

You make mistakes in politics. And if you say you're sorry and you made a mistake, in COVID, you had imperfect information and you shut schools down too long. I know you're frustrated. If it happened again, we would do it differently. I learned my lesson. That goes a long way to taking that kind of an issue off the table. But Gretchen Whitmer, who actually believed in the policy, who's not sorry, will just go and go, listen, you're only locked down for three months.

What are you complaining about? That in New York, it would be easy for governor hokal to go listen we tried this you know no bail stuff we tried to let criminals out of jail you know early you know mtr prisons we tried you know criminal justice reform it didn't work people are good innocent new yorkers are getting hurt i'm sorry we tried it but it didn't work. We're going back to strict law enforcement. That would actually work. She would win the race if she had one. So true. Just like that. However, she'll never do it because one, she thinks the far left will leave her. But two, she is the far left. She believes in the in the, you know, the woke criminal justice system where no one is held to account. But anyway,

can I just talk about, I feel bad for Nancy Pelosi's husband who got hit with a hammer. I would say that straight up. But it's interesting. I don't hear the left clamoring to let this defendant out of jail within hours of the attack on Paul Pelosi. He's too important, Sean. Paul Pelosi's too important. He's an important, he's a VIP. If you commit a crime against a Democrat, they're all about criminal justice. They're all about having guns on their security detail, but no guns for you. They're all about fences around their homes, but no fences around our border. The hypocrisy that you say, well, we're going to go, we're going to throw the book at the attacker on Paul Pelosi, which by the way, they should throw the book at him, but that's not their policy. Because if you're the victim of a crime and you're not Paul Pelosi, which, by the way, they should put the book at him. But that's not their policy, because if you're the victim of a crime and you're not Paul Pelosi, your attacker is out in hours.

Yes. And I think I think people see not just the masks that you mentioned, but the hypocrisy around how the elite are treated if a crime is committed against them and how you're treated if a crime is committed against you. This two-tiered system, I think, have people thoroughly fed up. And liberals who are true liberals, they disagree with this. This is not liberalism. This is leftism, Marxism, socialism, communism, but it's not liberalism. The traditional liberal doesn't go. Bill Maher is a traditional liberal. He's pushing back on this craziness going, this is not my party. This is not what I believe in. This is this is this is the wrong path forward for America. And I can say it because I'm a traditional liberal who, by the way, I disagree with them vehemently. But in recent days, I'm like, maybe I agree with the traditional liberals a little bit more because it's not a lot

of them. No, that's the problem. There's not a lot of those Bill Maher kind of people standing up and saying, you know, there's also that elitism. I keep coming back to that because another, you know, you talk about second chances. If you admit you did something wrong, people will forgive you. Right. I look at the economy. So today we had a statistic, Sean, that came out. It's actually a really sad one, especially coming out of COVID and kind of pain that

so many small businesses experienced during COVID. I mean, so many of them didn't make it. And then the ones that survived it, you know, they got through it. And then this economy hit, this inflation hit, this Biden negligence of our economy because they're just hell bent on destroying American independence and dominance for this woke climate ideology. So the stat that I saw today was that 40% of American small businesses were not able to pay their rent this month in October. 45% of New York businesses couldn't pay their rent, did not pay their rent in October. So small businesses are suffering. When I was at the diner, Sean, I spoke to several people. One was a guy who had a, he gave tours on fishing boats. So he's got diesel. You can imagine what

his business is, how his business is doing. But there's all these unexpected businesses. There was a florist I met. He said, it's not just the cost of of the roses that I'm paying Valentine's Day prices in November for them at cost. But he said, I have a greenhouse. How do you think we warm our greenhouse with heating oil? How do you think we warm our greenhouse with heating oil? That's through the roof. He said it was over twice as much as what he paid, you know, a year ago for it. The guy who ran the diner said eggs were, you know, they were if they were $30 a crate, they're $62 a crate.

Bacon is up more than that. And then he said lettuce. He said he took the lettuce and he said, forget about it. He said it was like 80, 80 dollars a crate. He was paying 20, 26 to 28 dollars before. I mean, it's hard to keep a business open when your core ingredients and materials are that expensive. We'll have more of this conversation after this. Some things require a lot of work to grow, like plants, hair, babies, or your savings. But when you run a business, you already have enough on your plate.

We're just getting a little taste of what it's like to live in California. These world policies destroy states. They destroy cities.

I've said it a million times. These same policies are going nationwide. All they have to do is change their energy policy, John. That's right. It's easy. Again, bad policies with bad politicians give massive results in midterms. November 8th,

and I've said this a number of times, I think the wave is going to be bigger than the pollsters are saying. I look at the Fox power rankings. I've said this on Fox as well. I think they're underestimating the number of Republican seats that will be won. I just you have a feeling on on what's happening that you don't see in polls. And I think the feeling is there that this is going to be bigger than the pollsters are even picking up. And so, again, I'm more bullish on the House and the Senate and the Senate. You said the House and the Senate.

I'm more bullish on the House. Right. In a sense, I think Republicans are going to have a 30 to 35 seat majority in the House. I think a Fox Power rankings have a 16 seat majority. I'm almost double what the Fox Power rankings say. So you can hold to account uh if i'm wrong on that i'm just i think republicans win the senate at least by one seat what happens at the seat in utah sean i've seen real clear politics say that there's a 53 seat republican majority i don't know but so uh utah this is evan mcmuffin versus um versus mike mike lee we call m McMuffin versus Mike Lee. We call him McMuffin at our house. I guess Mike Lee. I think, for my

contacts in Utah, they say that Mike Lee is going to win. I hope you're right. Because McMuffin, McMullen, is a closet Democrat. His money's coming from Democrats. His money's his advisors are Democrats. And so he's playing this little game in Utah to pretend like he's a conservative Republican when he's actually a woke liberal Democrat.

So I think that's that Utah's too smart for. I hope that's true. I hope that's true. But before before we go, I know it must not be fun to be Barack Obama right now going around picking up all the basically the mess that Joe Biden left. But let's just face it. Barack Obama wanted Joe Biden in. He said he wanted a third term, Sean. He said he would love it was actually on camera on an interview, said, I wish I had a third term. That would be great where I didn't have to actually do that, do the job out front. But I could just kind of make those decisions from behind. I think that's exactly what happened. I believe there's a cabal of people running our country. It's very clear that Joe Biden isn't.

I don't even think Jill Biden, the breakfast taco, sissipuade lady is doing it. I think it's Barack Obama. So then let him go and clean up the mess. It's his mess, actually. It's his mess. Yeah. Let's talk's his mess, actually. It's his mess. Yeah. Let's start with the CDC, Rachel. What's the story with regard to the great institution of science,

the Center for Disease Control, the CDC, that has come out and said, listen, as we put out our guidelines in regard to COVID, we're going to scrub mother, the name mother, we're going to call them birthing persons. We're going to scrub he, her, any gender specific pronouns. Right. So they're coming out with guidance on flu vaccines during pregnancy. Flu vaccines during pregnancy. So pretty important. I'm personally not one who likes to take the flu vaccines, but there's plenty of women and their doctors who think that women should do that. And they have replaced she, her and mother.

They've completely wiped it off the guidelines. So it's now pregnant people. And so they've essentially desexed their guidance in order to, I guess, be more inclusive for trans people. And it's kind of troubling, Sean, because if you're a pregnant woman and you do get the flu, it is definitely more dangerous for you to get the flu if you're pregnant. And there's a couple things that concern me. One is we have a lot of people where English is their second language. We're a country of immigrants. So pretty confusing for someone who's a non-English speaker or second language English speaker to understand these guidelines when there's no reference to mother.

So you're pregnant, but they're saying pregnant. They're saying pregnant people. They're not saying she, her, he. So that's kind of confusing. But in general, it's confusing to everyone. I mean, I think it's very clear if you don't have a uterus and you don't have ovaries, you can't be pregnant. So why is our federal government's health department essentially doing this? Now, the department's run by a trans person as well. Well, there's Racheline who's running some of this first i think this is great politics good for the cdc before this next election yeah that is probably bad to scrub

someone's like that memo wasn't supposed to go out to till november 9th but so what they're saying is listen if you're a if you're a woman who is in the wrong body and you're supposed to be a man and you're going to have a surgery to make yourself, at least on the outside, a man, but you could still have a baby. So you call yourself a man, even though you're really a woman. That means we can't really identify what you are. So we have to call it a birthing person, right? Because we know that men can't have babies.

I don't know that the CDC or the, in quote, scientists in government would admit we know that men can't have babies i don't know that the cdc or the in quote scientists in government would admit that but men can't have babies uh cannot have babies yeah i thought you said can i just can't i just i slowed that together so make sure i pronounce cannot cannot have babies but how stupid is this again you have to be a woman to have a baby. And if you have a baby, you're called a mother. That's standard English language and the stupidity that government tries to change language to appease the smallest sliver segment of the population. Who, by the way, what's so offensive if you've given birth to a child of being called a mother? And if you're offended by that, you've got other problems yourself. Can I read you what the paragraph says, Sean? So the introductory paragraph used to say, the flu is more likely to cause severe illness in pregnant women than women of reproductive age who are not pregnant. That was the guideline. Now it says, um, influenza is more likely to

cause severe illness in pregnant people than in people of reproductive age who are not pregnant. And even, um, you know, medical experts at Harvard are saying, this is silly. We really shouldn't, we should not mess with this. By the way, they also did this with the monkey pox guidelines as well. Again, another important infectious disease that people should know whether they fall into a high-risk category or not. women has opened up, I think, an amazing opportunity for real feminists and specifically for conservative women. Because at this point in American politics and in American culture, the only group of people who are standing up for women are conservatives. And specifically, women are conservatives and specifically conservative women are deeply offended.

Conservative women really want to have the right to be called that that is that is our right. That is the right of our gender to be called a mother. And and so I think they're standing up for women's sports, for our girls in their sports. Conservative women are standing up for the idea of motherhood, for the idea of little girls in the womb who are being targeted through sex selection, abortion across the globe and even here in the United States. and even here in the United States. And now you're seeing old school feminists, honest ones, looking at what the feminist movement and frankly, their obsession with abortion has wrought. They are seeing that the idea of saying that there is no gender, that gender is a social construct, has not actually elevated the status of women, has not celebrated the status of women. It's actually had the opposite effect. And now we're seeing men winning competitions that women should have had a place in. We're

seeing even men grace the covers and the pages of Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions. We're seeing men taking over in the makeup industry. They're becoming the most coveted models. We're seeing even on Miss America pageants. I'm not saying those are bastions of feminism, by the way, but I'm just saying that women are seeing themselves erased and that our gender is not having is not having the respect that it's due. And the only people standing up for it are conservative women en masse and the few old school liberals who are left. And I think you're going to see some sort of alignment. And I think more importantly, conservative women are going to take that mantle and run with it. So I look at this and I think of the emperor has no clothes. Right. So this is a war on women.

One hundred percent. Thank you for saying it that simply. But this is not the first war on something. It's a war on women today. But before the war on women, there was a war on Christmas. Remember, you couldn't was a war on Christmas. Remember? You couldn't say Merry Christmas. You were Christmas shopping and at the store, the checkout clerk was not allowed to say Merry Christmas

and you were felt uncomfortable. Happy holidays. You had to be uncomfortable saying Merry Christmas to someone if that's what you were celebrating at that time of year. If someone said Happy Hanukkah to me, I'd be like, Happy Hanukkah right back at you. I mean, it doesn't bother me at all. There used to be a time that was OK. And what happened with Christmas? I think the war on Christmas, they still want to, you know, fight that battle. But we've kind of we've kind of taken that one back.

And it came from, you know, the 70 some year old billionaire who's the president of the United States, the disruptor who after he won, he was like, Christmas is back. Merry Christmas, everybody. And like said, Merry Christmas all the time. And, you know, told everyone else to say Merry Christmas. And it actually happened. Yeah. And I think it was Christmas trees, not holiday trees. Donald Trump calling the stupidity of the last war on Christmas made other people go, this is actually stupid. I am going to I'm going to make a point of saying Merry Christmas if I'm working or if I'm shopping. I'm going to say it because that's what I'm celebrating. And again, I think this isn't a winter tree.

This isn't a holiday tree. It's a Christmas tree. And governors started to do that holiday concert Sean. It's not a holiday concert. No, it's a Christmas concert. And what happened, I think the same thing is here. Their argument is just as weak, or this war is just as weak, the war against women as it was against Christmas. And we just need brave. But there's a difference, Sean. There is a deep difference. And by the way, I'm deeply offended by by the war on Christmas as a Christian. I'm deeply offended by the fact that they want to take away my my religious holiday. They want to somehow make it a dirty word. I hate that.

But the problem with what you're saying with with with the war on women is the victims are the weakest. So it's our girls on their, you know, girls in their sports. It's it's also dangerous. There's a you have men now entering into spaces that they should not be that actually endanger women. They have to give women birth control pills when they go to prison because any man who says that they're identifies as a woman can be housed with it or we've already had cases of women getting pregnant in prison we have uh young boys entering into locker rooms with girls or girls not be able to change in their locker rooms because there are trans boys there i mean there's there are real victims of this, in my opinion.

And then this goes all the way down to the castration and all the gender confusion that now has led to the castration of children. You know, I think of toxic masculinity, which I'm absolutely opposed to that phraseology. I don't think masculinity is toxic. But maybe there is toxic masculinity in the men who think they're women. And then you go through this transition and they get really mean and like, we want to take over women's sports. We want to spike volleyballs in the face of a girl across the net and knock her out. I think they've become really aggressive.

You mean aggressive in, in their demands? And they're protesting and they're, and they're rallying and they're, and they're threats. Oh yeah. No, I think it becomes, it becomes very, And the way they've been, they've, they've infiltrated into the curriculums of our schools and our teachers' colleges. Absolutely. I'll say this, Sean. I think Virginia is not alone in caring about what's happening in our schools with CRT and gender ideology.

I think it is a sleeper issue. When I go to diners across the country and I do town halls, people will say that, you know, inflation, the border, crime, but they always come back to the kids because that's really, I think, where you talk about a war. There is a war on our children and their minds and on their hearts. And I think in the end, that's what people care about the most. And nothing says that more than what's happening in our education system. And nothing says that more than what's happening in our education system. And frankly, what's happened to them over the last couple of years with COVID and the lockdowns and the way that they've been, their education and their right to an education and a good one have been violated on so many levels to COVID mandates all the way down to, you know, this Marxist ideology that's being shoved down their throats. This puts us at 10 November 8th again. I think you're right. This is an undercurrent of an issue in Michigan, that governor's race. It's not an undercurrent. It's out in the open. And that is

But you have votes in America going, you know, voting for sanity, common sense right now, common sense in regard to our kids' education, in regard to genders, in regard to energy, in regard to spending. You know, most Americans are smart and they want common sense in their government. They don't have that right now. So, listen, Rachel, great conversation.
