I'm Sean Duffy, along with my co-host for the podcast, my partner in life, and my wife, Rachel Campos Duffy. Sean, it's great to be back at the kitchen table. And today, we have some serious stuff to talk about. We do. Things are heating up in the race, but the stakes, actually, I think have gotten higher because of Tim Waltz and his commie background. have gotten higher because of Tim Waltz and his commie background. Yeah, we're going to talk about that. But before we do that, we're going to talk about some recent developments that have happened

with the Department of Homeland Security. So there's a story that's come out that says that federal air marshals have begun following ordinary U.S. citizens that are unsuspected of any crimes. They're not under investigation by an agency and are not on the terror watch database. This program is called the Quiet Skies program. And what they're doing is looking to thwart threats to commercial aircraft posed by unknown or partial known terrorists, right? So you got bad guys who may be on aircraft, maybe trying to blow them up or fly them into buildings or crash them. And so we put air marshals on those flights to make sure the people on the planes and the people on the ground are safe. The problem with that, Rachel, though, is in this new story that's come out,

and I've actually heard these stories in the past, that they're not actually targeting real terrorists. They're targeting political enemies. So after January 6th, this program really ramped up. And if people were walking through peacefully the Capitol, or even those who were outside the Capitol, they were targeted for this program. And what happens is they get additional screening, very intense screening. And it's very cumbersome, Sean. I know, first of all, I know a woman, a mom who never went inside the Capitol. She actually was reporting for an outlet, a conservative outlet, but was outside and she went into an airplane after the event, you know, sometime after, and she was hauled off. This is a mom with children, including a special needs child. This is like a red blooded America loving mom who just happens to be, I think the crime they're looking at Sean, Sean is thought crimes, right? She came from a conservative outlet.

She has very outspoken conservative views. She got targeted, and she was literally on a no-flight list. There are other people who are targeted by TSA, and they just have to go through this extra screening. Well, this extra screening, Sean, can be four extra hours. I mean, you just think about how much time it takes to get through TSA and all the stuff it takes to get to the airport. It's so not fun to travel these days. But now you have four extra hours of screening. And they're even targeting the infant children of some of these people that were in J6, participating in the J6 protests. But now this has come to life because it's targeted Tulsi Gabbard a well-known democrat congresswoman a former

congresswoman she's still in i believe in the national guard she's in the reserves but she's not a very obedient democrat sean i think that's the problem well no the problem is that not only is she a former member of congress she is an ir Iraq war veteran. She ran for president. That's true. And again, I don't agree with Tulsi Gabbard on all issues, but there's a lot we agree on. She is a political enemy of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. And for that reason, she now finds herself on this Quiet Skies watch list. By the way, this is at a time when a report came out just a couple of days ago. I think you talked about it on your weekend show. A report that we had 100 individuals on the terror watch list that came across the southern border

and were released into our country. So you have real terrorists, real threats coming into America, being released by our federal government. But then the federal government puts assets and agents on the likes of Tulsi Gabbard. So it's not just actually all the additional screening that they have to go through on TSA. Listen to this. Tulsi Gabbard was unaware that she had two explosive detection canine teams, one transportation security specialist in regard to explosives, one plainclothes TSA supervisor, and three federal air marshals on every flight that she boarded. The manpower to go after Tulsi Gabbard, the terrorist. How did she find out?

Can you walk us through that? Yeah. So first of all, she had some recent travels at the end of July. And as she was coming back, she was like... She was coming from Rome, I believe. To Dulles. She had some additional travels as well. I thought it was to Dallas, Rome to Dallas.

I thought it was Dulles and then maybe to Dallas. Maybe we could have got Dulles and Dallas messed up. Maybe we got Dulles and Dallas in exception. I thought it was Dulles. They're both American cities. But she noticed that she had to go through additional screening. They took every garment out of her bag, got TSA, and had to pat them down, whether it was underwear or sports bras or everything. Unzipped every nook and cranny of her suitcase and the clothes inside.

But also she noticed that there were canine units when she got on and got off the airplane. So she thought that was strange. But this is what they do, Sean. She was like, maybe I'm being paranoid. Like you start to think you're crazy. Right. But then some whistleblower confirmed her fears. So there's a whistleblower that came out and said, no, we're actually targeting Tulsi

Gabbard as someone who is a potential domestic terrorist. Somebody from TSA or somebody from the Quiet Skies program? So one of the air marshals disclosed this as a whistleblower that they were targeting Tulsi Gabbard. And they're with Homeland Security, Sean? So yeah, the air marshals fall under Homeland Security. Not TSA. Well, TSA also falls under Homeland Security as well. They all fall under Homeland Security. Alejandro Mayorkas, the disaster who's given us the southern border, the partisan hack. But again, this is troubling at a time when there's real threats in the world. There's real threats to our country.

We do have an open southern border. The fact that you would target Tulsi Gabbard, some human being had to make the decision. Yes. She's a potential domestic terrorist. Let's target her. Tells you that any common sense person would know that Tulsi is not a threat. But if you want to harass her, it's like the Stasi stuff that was done in East Germany, no question. We track and harass and follow. That's what they're doing to Tulsi. And by the way, Tulsi is a name, right? She was a former

presidential candidate, former member of Congress. She's on TV. But there's a lot of average Americans who can't get this kind of press, who are harassed and tracked only because of their political views. Maybe that they showed up, you know, and were on the grounds on January 6th, didn't even go in, as you mentioned, are being harassed by this program. This article that came out, it really is incredible. The article said that this program has gotten so out of control. They're following eight-year-olds. I told you that this one Jan 6 guy, there was an article written about him where he said he tried, he knew he was going to get stopped for four hours. He's been dealing with this since January 6th. So he has now a girlfriend

and they have an infant baby. And so his idea was, okay, well, I'll separate our, I'll purchase my ticket separately. She can purchase her ticket with the baby. Turns out, oh no, they put the infant baby on the watch list. So she had to go through the same kind of screening with the baby because now the baby is a potential terrorist. They had eight-year-olds. They said high school cheerleaders, vets who have lost limbs in our wars fighting for us. And again, Sean, this is wrong on two levels. And you pointed to one of them.

One of them is if these air marshals are going after these innocent Americans, then who are they not going after? As you mentioned, we have the highest level of known terrorists who have crossed our border. And now we're finding out they're releasing them because I don't, God knows why. Nobody understands why. But the other part is even more troubling. And that is that they're being targeted, and we know it, because of thought crimes, because they are dissidents. We'll be back with much more after this.

And Sean, that brings us to Tim Waltz and Kamala Harris, because Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz, believe it or not, even after Barack Obama, these two combined are the most commie ticket in American history. So Kamala Harris is handpicked by Barack Obama. I thought it used to be Barack Obama and Joe Biden. At least Joe Biden back then was still like, I mean, he was incompetent. He was used by the left, but he was not a communist. And that's why when he ran,

it was effective when he said, I'm just, you know, this normal guy. I don't look like a socialist, do I? Remember when he said that? And people were like, yeah, no, he's not a socialist. Barack Obama, absolutely. Barack Obama forced Joe Biden to pick Kamala Harris, Sean. And there's a reason they share something very similar. They both have communist fathers. And Barack had two, right? He had his own dad from Kenya, but also this Marshall guy that he became friends with and was sort of a male mentor figure for him when he lived in Hawaii was a known registered communist as well. Well, Kamala Harris's father, Donald Harris, was a Marxist economist in Stanford. And so she has this sort of communist background. And then you bring in

Tim Walsh on. I mean, this guy is the biggest commie sympathizer. No, he absolutely is. And you can look at a record and go, you know, am I a freedom loving, constitution loving American who stands up for individual rights and constitutional rights? When you look at Tim Walz, the answer to that is obviously no. In Minnesota, he was one who was trying to attack Minnesotans right to bear arms, right? They call them assault weapons, but average rifles with,

I believe there are clips more than 10 rounds. He was trying to outlaw. And by the way, if you don't know Minnesota, Minnesota, outside of Minneapolis-St. Paul, is like ruby red, right? People like to hunt and fish. They like the outdoors. But again, in front of the Second Amendment. But what else, Rachel, has Tim Walz done that would make you go, hmm, he was a communist sympathizer.

So he spent a lot of time in China. He did. In fact, he was in China around the time of the Tiananmen Square massacre. And when he returned, he returned saying all kinds of glowing things about China. He's never said anything on record about the massacre, which, of course, if you come back from China after the Tiananmen Square massacre and you don't have anything negative to say and you're still glowingly speaking about the Communist Party and how great China is, you've got to wonder what this guy will do to dissidents in our country when he and Kamala have power. But it goes further than that. He chose his wedding date to be the date of the Tiananmen Square Massacre Now that wasn't a coincidence

His wife said he wanted it to be that date Because it was a date he could remember He honeymooned in China Imagine the Tiananmen Square Massacre is your anniversary And you also want to honeymoon in China. He started a snitch program during COVID. He was one of those, you know, commie governors who put out basically voicemail messages that were sent to

all of his citizens in the state saying, listen, if your neighbor's having a barbecue or hanging out outside with his family or, God forbid, having old people and young people together for Thanksgiving, it was basically a snitch program. Let us know if your neighbor is violating our COVID tyrannical rules. Here's a 1-800 number you can call to squeal on your neighbor. Right. And again, first of all, the rules were outrageous. Right.

Again, an affront to freedom. But then we want neighbors to snitch on neighbors, which, again, is a communist tactic. There's nothing more communist than that. That's right. There is nothing. Like, literally, when you talk to communist dissidents, we've had G-Van Fleet, which, by the way, if you haven't listened to our podcast with G-Van Fleet, it's one of our most popular podcasts that we've done. Definitely listen to that. And she will tell you a marker is the way that they, you not only were encouraged and I would say encouraged and also rewarded for turning in your neighbors, but also your own family members.

She can actually right now, Sean, on her on one on her ex site, her Twitter page is promoting. There's a guy who basically is now trying to, I guess, make up for what he did as a kid. He was propagandized during the communist cultural revolution. He turned in his mother who was then executed. And now I know she was executed and now she is, he has had to live with that. And he's kind of come around to understand I was brainwashed and I was encouraged by the government to snitch and turn in my own my own mother but that happens in iran it happens in china it happened in cuba that's a marker it happened in the old soviet union uh these are telltale signs you know we all have talked a lot about the the riots of the summer of love um which weren't so lovely, when we had the streets of Minneapolis burning.

Because of him? Well, he took three days to send out the National Guard. And then he sent out, you know, 100 National Guardsmen instead of 1,000 National Guardmen really to quell the violence. But his wife said, you know, the governor, Tim, he slept with the window open. So you get the smell of the burning of tires and other smells of the riots and the sounds of the riots because he cherished it. He wanted to be reminded of what was happening out there, all the social justice burning. And you would say, Rachel, we talked about this before, but the smell and the sounds were the burning of American dreams, burning of businesses, of people who had built something, put every last scent and sweat and blood and tears into a small little business that was burned by these rioters that Tim Walz celebrated.

that Tim Walz celebrated. Yeah, I mean, again, how do you come back, how do you come back from Tiananmen Square and your takeaway of China is, oh, they had low crime? I mean, it's just, it's insane. And so, Sean, I look at this and this romanticization that this guy has with China, I look at Kamala Harris and her ties to Barack Obama, to all the people who have been trying to suppress speech. And I just think, my gosh, if these two win, God help us. God help us

dissidents, right? God help us people with wrong thinking, according to them, with thought crimes. When you talk about that, it makes me think of those, the traditional liberal, when the Patriot Act was passed, they actually, the liberals came out and said, listen, we should be concerned that the tools that we're giving the federal government, they're not just going to be used against foreign terrorists. We're concerned that those tools may be used against American citizens. And conservatives, like you and me, are like, wow, come on. No one's not going to be used against an American citizen. We trust our government to actually use the tools and the

power that we give them, which was immense power, to target true threats, true terrorists. And those old school liberals, by the way, they don't exist anymore because now they agree with the power being used by the state because they see it as benefiting their political perspective. But that power is being used and it is being used against people who have different opinions than the state. Again, Tulsi Gabbard was one who was very critical of Biden and Harris, right? She's come out and said, I'm not a Democrat anymore, right? I'm an independent because what they're doing is crazy town. And so again, I think it's interesting that this was foreseeable and it's being used as the old school, crunchy liberals, Birkenstock-era liberals claim it would be used for,

and that's come to pass. We were wrong on that. Oh, listen, this is one of my biggest regrets. My position on the Iraq War, my trust in the Patriot Act. A friend of ours worked with the Bush administration to write the Patriot Act. So we thought, okay, we needed, you know, we needed this. And I remember even thinking like, yeah,

they're getting into our calls and information, but I have nothing to hide. So, I mean, they're going after the Islamic radical Muslims. Well, guess what? Those same rules and laws are being used to infiltrate Catholic churches. And so I've actually apologized to Muslim friends of mine to say, I'm sorry that as an American who cares about civil liberties,

I didn't stand up for yours after 9-11, that I allowed this Patriot Act to pass. And only liberals who now, as you say, Sean, would be supporting it. The other thing that's interesting, Sean, and is worth noting and is very worrisome, is both Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are big, big proponents of looking out for misinformation. Again, another clue that their intention when they come into power. And this will be, I mean, they were installed. There is a cabal of, you know, you're voting for a blob. You're not voting for Tim. You're not voting for Kamala. You're voting for that blob that is following Tulsi Gabbard. You're voting for that blob that has made the lives of everybody who protested on January 6th, even those who were entirely peaceful and not even in the Capitol, they have made their lives hell.

They've destroyed their lives. Many people have committed suicide because of the attacks and the smears. It's just unbelievable. And so I am afraid of what's to come. I'm very afraid of what's to come. I'm very afraid of what's to come. It's the blob or the deep state that runs the show. It's not, listen, Kamala, you listen to her. She's an empty suit.

Tim Waltz, maybe a little smarter than Kamala, but still a commie himself who, again, is going to do what the deep state or the blob wants them to do, will accomplish what they want them to accomplish. And again, I think when you listen to people talk about democracy, the threats to democracy, they'll say the threats to the institutions of democracy. What they're saying is that when you look at these institutions that target American citizens, or as you would say, the blob or the deep state, if you try to fix them, if you try to curtail their power, that's a threat to democracy. No, actually, a threat to democracy is affecting our ability to have an election where you get one person, one vote, one citizen, one vote, one non-citizen, no vote. That's what's at stake. That's what democracy

is about, picking leaders that work for us and then letting that leader, that president, reform the federal government the way they see fit, as they've talked about on the campaign trail. But this is interesting. You have Kamala Harris out there talking about how she wants to change the economy for the better for the American people. Let's listen to what she has to say and we'll come back and talk about it. This campaign, our campaign, is not just a fight against Donald Trump. Our campaign, this campaign, is a fight for the future. It's a fight for the future. And Pennsylvania, we fight for a future with affordable housing, affordable health care, affordable child care, paid leave.

We fight for a future where we build a broad-based economy, where every American has the opportunity to own a home, to start a business, and to build wealth. We fight for a future where we bring down prices that are still too high and lower the cost of living for America's families. So there you have Kamala Harris on the campaign trail, basically making promises that she's going to bring down housing prices, you know, make sure the American dream is alive and well. The problem with this is that if you ask Kamala Harris or Joe Biden, how are you going to do it? What's your strategy to make these things happen? She will laugh at you and look at you with a blank stare because she has no idea. Go to her website and there are no policy positions on kamalaharris.com. You can't find

one. She has no ideas how to accomplish these things. And I guess I would tell you, the best prediction of future performance is past performance, right? So they've had three and a half years and prices for the American family have gone up by more than 20%. What has Kamala Harris done to reserve those, reverse that pricing? Nothing. She has no ideas. She didn't, she didn't stop it. She didn't curtail it. All she did is said, let's spend more money on the Green New Deal. Let's make more promises to more people to give them more money. Let's take away the student loan debt of college students and put it on the back of the American taxpayer, which is going to drive inflation even further. Everything she's done has made this problem worse, not better. But she comes out and

makes these promises to the American people. She can't back them up. She won't do an interview. And my concern, Rachel, if you look at the polling, she's actually winning. I know. I was just going to tell you that she's taken a five-point lead in a head-to-head matchup with Donald Trump. That's according to a new national nationwide poll. Marquette University survey found that when third-party candidates, including RFK Jr. and Cornel West, are added, she has an eight-point advantage. That's in Wisconsin. It's a five-point advantage in Wisconsin if those candidates are not in the race. So again, she's got a significant bump.

And again, I would argue it's because she's an empty suit, right? She can be whatever the liberal media wants her to be. 52 to 48, she's winning. 4.75, I stand corrected. Yeah, 58 to 48. So, you know, that's what's interesting to me. I have to tell you, when I first saw the rally pictures in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, you and I have been to Eau Claire many times. A wonderful Republican, I would say it's Trump country, right? No, it's not.

So it's a college town. Well, it's a college town, but you have a Republican. The city of Eau Claire and Eau Claire County is fairly liberal, but everything around it is very red. Yeah. If you're driving to Eau Claire, you're right. It's got a college town there. So you've got your college professors whenever that happens. And whenever you have a University of Wisconsin university in an area like that, you're going to get a bunch of liberals. However, as you drive to Eau claire you'll see like trump written into the fields with tractors um you'll see trump signs on every farm you pass

uh but boy i looked at the pictures and when i first saw it i thought it was a trump rally there was that many people now some people tried to say oh it's Bon Iver, which that band, they're lame. Which is Bon Iver's national band that's from the area. But listen, it was a massive turnout. It was for Kamala and Tim. It wasn't for them. I think, Sean, it was for the enthusiasm that they have that they no longer have to pretend like they are supporting Joe Biden. Anything but Joe Biden.

Is that what that rally was? Listen, there's a lot of Democrat enthusiasm for their radical leftist ideas, number one. But there's a lot of enthusiasm for the hate for Donald Trump. Those two things together, I think, are driving people out. And again, that you don't have a dead man mentally in a suit is very helpful for the Democrat Party. And so Kamala, again, with her cackling and laugh and not able to answer questions, the embarrassment that she is, she's better than Joe Biden. And therefore you can get that many people to come out and rally. I mean, it was huge. And if you're the Donald Trump campaign, you should be concerned that she has this kind of enthusiasm. And what it goes to show

you is Kamala Harris's approval ratings were lower than Joe Biden's, if you can imagine that. She was down in the mid-30s to low-30s. As the vice president. As the vice president. All of a sudden, she becomes the candidate, and she's now beating Trump. So what do you make of that? I mean, because I'm starting to think, is this a mirage? Is this just hype that they're hyping up? They're hyping her up. It's a social media run campaign. As you said, no interview in 18 days now. It's all like, you know, she's a brat girl. And, you know, it just seems like a social media campaign versus a real campaign. Can they actually pull this off? And is it just meant to demoralize Trumpsters?

So, listen, I think there's a bump here, right? And I think you're going to see these numbers come down. I don't think she can hide forever. She's going to have to answer questions. She's going to have to do interviews. But I think it's going to be highly choreographed. The questions are going to be pre-approved. She'll know how to answer the questions. They come to her by a very friendly press. The only thing that could shake that up is if there is a debate between her and Donald Trump, right? And how that would go

in the minds of the American people. But I would tell you that there's something different at play here. It's the ability of the left-wing press to be able to prop up someone as bad as Kamala, a record as bad as Kamala's personality, with the cackling and the laughing, the lack of ideas, the lack of ability to say smart sentences that make paragraphs, you know, together. She can't do it. I mean, she is the classic case of a word salad, repeating the same words over and phrases over and over again. She's horrible. But the press has been able to curate a Kamala Harris that's more presentable to the American people than what she actually is. And they've also done it on social media. And that's very effective. And unless the media says,

hey, Kamala, this is BS, you should answer our questions. They're not going to do that. Right, because they're in her camp. That's right. Right. And so the American people maybe kind of think this is normal, because when they went to school, they were never taught how democracies actually work. What's the system in which candidates actually run and how they take questions and lay out visions and talk about ideas?

They don't expect it, right? They want to see something on social media that's highly edited and curated for their views. That's why, Sean, I think the biggest problem, if you're a strategist trying to look at, how do I, if you're a Republican, if you're the Trump team, how do I fight this new scenario, right? You've got Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, media in the tank, social media messages, no live interviews, so we don't get to actually have a real honest debate. I think you can't just go against Kamala and Tim. I think they're just stand-ins.

I think if I was the Trump team, I would say, you're voting for the deep state. You're voting for the blob. We brought up the situation with Tulsi Gabbard earlier. And when we were talking about this offline, I wish we'd had we would have this conversation now online on the show, because I think it's important. I said to you, as somebody who's been in Congress for 10 years, I'm like, oh, my God. I mean, Tulsi Gabbard is a, she's beloved on the right as well as the left. She has friends on the right and the left. There are lots of Republicans, including you, Sean, who love Tulsi Gabbard. She's a, so she's part of this former members of Congress club, if you will. I mean,

every single member of Congress is going, they could target me. And she had run for president. She was a military vet. event she's always surely Congress is going to I mean they may not look after the poor J6 or you know from Oklahoma but Tulsi Gabbard on the on the um what do they call it the sky um oh quiet skies um the quiet sky watch list surely Congress is going to go after quiet skies because their own colleague is on the list. And you said what, Sean, when I asked you that? They won't be able to do anything. Exactly.

Why? The deep state is so powerful and has such little respect for the Congress that the Congress can ask whatever questions they want, subpoena whoever they want, have whatever hearings they want. Subpoena documents. The deep state doesn't give a damn because the Congress never takes their money away. Right. The Congress has all the power and they never use the power. Right. Pull their cash. We'll have more of this conversation after this. Breaking news happens anywhere, anytime. Police have warned the protesters repeatedly, get back. CBC News brings the story to you as it happens. Hundreds of wildfires are burning. Be the first to know what's going on

and what that means for you and for Canadians. This situation has changed very quickly. for Canadians. This situation has changed very quickly. Helping make sense of the world when it matters most. Stay in the know. CBC News. And why won't they pull it? I'm having this discussion, Sean,

because you and I have had it all the time. When the moment comes to take the cash away, which is the only thing that the deep state could respond to, you know, you have a corrupt FBI. We're going to cut your funds. Why don't they do it? Because who comes to them and talks to them? Well, you'll have you'll have the deep state themselves come and work members in the Congress to say, you know what?

If you cut our funding, you're putting America at risk. There are real threats out there. There's real. We are a target of. at risk. There are real threats out there. There's real, we are a target of, let me give you some top secret information about the threats that we have faced, that we have thwarted because of the money you give us. So don't take it away. Or again, you're right. We're going to blame you. And dumb members of Congress, they buy it. Instead of going, you have too much money. Because if you're releasing a hundred known terrorists into the country that have come in here illegally, but you have the resources to go after Tulsi Gabbard or a grandma

who walked in the grounds of the Capitol, but didn't go in on January 6th, you're tracking them. You have too much money. And we're going to take it away until you can focus on the true threats that face this country. But members of Congress won't do it. You know what? They fall for it. It's what? They're afraid. They're afraid of losing their seats. Something bad could happen and they may be blamed instead of going, you know what? Something bad is happening. Your government is targeting your people. Whether Republicans or Democrats, they're targeting innocent people to silence them, to shut them up um and again unacceptable take their cash and that one because that won't happen you're never going to get a change and that is why and by the way

thank you for that explanation because i mean i've had to ask this because it doesn't make sense to me i'm like so the fbi comes or some intel guy comes in and tells a member of congress you better not take that cash away because um this such and such is going to happen and and you're going to get blamed for it. And then they come back and they and they target more Republicans and they come back and say it's like Lucy in the football. They take the football. It's like they fall for it every single time. And so here's what I say. Let's let's build them a new billion dollar office space for the FBI. They need more money, even more even. It's so disgusting. And that's why I think if I

was the Trump team, I would make it very clear. It's obvious now, Sean, when they were installed the way they were, that these are not real candidates. They were not selected by their primary voters. They are installed

by the deep state. I am Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. We are running against the system. If you want to blow up the system, vote for us. If you want to play a tit for tat on, you know, cat ladies versus tampon Tim, I just think that it's not going to work. It's not going to work. They've got a lot of money coming from God knows where in Ukraine, laundered through there. They've got so much power in the institution that the only thing you can do is say, I am running against the system. Do you want to blow up the system? And by the way, Sean, that's how Donald Trump got elected in 2016. So that's part of it.

I also think you have to run against. Am I crazy? Am I a crazy political strategist here? No, no, no. That is part of it. But you also have to run against their really bad ideas, right? Yeah, you're right. And you're blessed in that you don't have to go... Again, Donald Trump wants to ban abortion, right? We have very strong opinions about abortion, but to talk about Donald Trump, he has said, I don't want to do anything federally on abortion. I've turned it back to the states and that's not my position. And they'll say, no, no, Donald Trump wants to do that. Right. Right. Something he's never said he's going to do that they claim he's

going to want to do as a political issue. Now let's flip this on to Kamala Harris. You don't have to use your words to assess what you think Kamala Harris may do if she's president. You don't have to assess what you think her policies may be. You can use Kamala in her own words. The video is there. Kamala wants to get rid of fracking. Kamala let violent protesters who are murderers and rapists, she raised money to get them released from jail.

Tim Walz wanted to hear the smells, the sounds and the smells of rioters burning businesses in the American dream. You have them all in their own words and you can play those clips to go, this is who they are. Not in my words, but in their words. What does America look like if this is the people that run this country, that are in the white house controlling your life with massive amounts of power and massive amounts of money what does it look like is this what you want in their own words they'll tell you who they are just listen to them i think it's a good point i think it's and i think it's a two-pronged thing right show what tim and kamala have done and said in their own words but but also don't forget how, who they were installed by

and who those people are. And that those are the same people seeking the FBI and air marshals on, you know, Americans with wrong think, you know, Americans who don't agree with Barack Obama's worldview. You know, the main question that keeps getting asked, and Sean, our daughters asked us this, when we went for a walk with them the other day, they said, who is the president? And we couldn't answer. We don't know. This is a serious thing.

Our whole system is based on that we vote for an executive, a president who represents the people, and that we have agencies that are run by our representatives, not the agencies running our representatives. This whole thing has gotten so out of control. I really believe this is the last chance. We used to vote as a country for really smart people with bold ideas,

with a vision. This is the first time we're voting for someone who has clear ideas, really bad ideas, but it's not very smart. Right. And someone who's not that smart, again, just pull up the videotapes of her trying to answer questions and assess her abilities based on what she says to the questions that are asked of her. And you can draw your own conclusion. And I think you'll reach the same one as I have. And you can draw your own conclusion. And I think you'll reach the same one as I have. But she's the one that's going to sit down with Kim Jong-un or Xi and be taken seriously.

As I'm sneezing my way through this podcast, I don't think it's possible. Have you been out in the garden? They'll have no respect for her because they know they can walk all over her. And she's weak. And you can't have a weak leader in these times. Have you been out in the garden? I don't know what's going on, but I need a tissue. I know, but the thing is the tissue box is now empty. I might be sitting on one.

But with my sneezing fed, I think we should end this. There's no tissue at the kitchen table. We want to continue to cover this and talk about the policies, the ideas, and the future of this country, why it matters. We're not trying to scare you. It is scary. And I think information is power. And the more we know, the more you know, the more we all talk to our neighbors and our kids. And, again, don't get demoralized.

It's hard. I saw myself get demoralized Sean. When I saw that Eau Claire, I know exactly where that place is, where they were at. I've seen many Trump rallies there and I was shocked that Kamala and Tim Walz could fill that place. It was impressive and it's demoralizing. But don't get demoralized. They are, But don't get demoralized. They are powerful, and they're on a honeymoon period right now. No question about it.

But we are fighting the system. And the people can't beat the system, but the people have to come together to do it. That's right. I couldn't agree more. So we're going to continue to cover this story as I sneeze through the end of this podcast. Listen, thank you for being with us.
