Trad Wife Vs. Girl Boss: Unpacking the Ballerina Farm Scandal Aug 08, 2024

Show notes

The 2010s have seen the rise of "the girl boss," a term championed by feminists encouraging women to strive for their dream careers while breaking glass ceilings. As a result, many women who began dedicating their lives to intense careers started looking down on stay-at-home moms or homemakers. Well, until now.

Daily Mail columnist & New York Times bestselling author Maureen Callahan joins the Duffys to discuss how 18+ million people's fascination with Hannah Neeleman, known online as Ballerina Farm, and her "trad wife" lifestyle shows that many young people may be yearning to trade in their high rise apartments and grueling jobs for families, farmland, and traditional values — a trend that could, in turn, impact the 2024 election.

Corey DeAngelis On the Parent Revolution That's Terrifying the Left Aug 02, 2024

Show notes

After COVID-19 led students across the country to remote learning, parents were given new insight into what, and how, kids were being taught in the classroom. And as months went by when lesson plans seemed questionable and kids started falling behind, many parents began advocating for programs to ensure their children were getting the education they deserved. Since then, the school choice movement has taken off — with 12 states passing universal school choice laws.

National Director of Research at the American Federation for Children, Executive Director at Educational Freedom Institute, and author of 'The Parent Revolution,' Corey DeAngelis discusses how he's educating people about what school choice programs have to offer, busting the myth that the system predominantly helps wealthy families, and sharing what he believes the future of school choice looks like.

Why Elon Musk & X May Be Key to the Venezuelan Freedom Movement Aug 01, 2024

Show notes

The political crisis in Venezuela is back in headlines after incumbent dictator Nicolas Maduro 'won' Venezuela's recent election — an unverified result that the vast majority of Venezuelans and Americans believe to be illegitimate. As protests worsen in the region, Sean and Rachel are

joined by Rachel's sister, Latin America expert Leah Compos to discuss the long history of political corruption in Venezuela and how the social media platform, X, is playing a major role in revealing exploitation in the country that many around the world aren't aware of.

They also share their fascinating conversation with Venezuelan-American journalist, activist, and former Miss Venezuela, Carmen Maria Montiel from earlier this week, where she provides more valuable insight on this issue and draws alarming parallels between the erosion of democratic norms in Venezuela and concerning trends in the U.S.

From JFK To Nixon: How Deep State History Explains What's Happening To Former President Trump Jul 26, 2024

Show notes

Many Americans only know the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the deep state, because the deeper you go down the rabbit hole, the more complex and disturbing it gets.

Luckily, Sean and Rachel are joined by Monica Crowley — who, between her time serving as the Foreign Policy Assistant to former President Nixon and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Public Affairs under the Trump Administration, has learned quite a bit about the history of the deep state and how it still heavily impacts our world today.

Monica sits down at the kitchen table to reveal how she believes the deep state is working to undermine and remove former President Trump from the political realm, how our current political era eerily resembles the days of President Nixon, and why the stakes of the 2024 Presidential Election are even higher than most Americans realize.

A Brat & A Macho Man Face Off In Presidential Election Jul 25, 2024

Show notes

A week ago Vice President Kamala Harris had probably never heard of 'Brat Summer,' but now the internet has coined her the epitome of it (and oddly enough, they mean it as a compliment). But can Gen Z make enough Harris memes to get her votes after President Biden dropped out of the race, or will former President Trump's show of bravery in the face of near-death win over Americans?

Sean and Rachel are joined by the host of the podcast 'Bongino Report Early Edition with Evita,' their daughter Evita Duffy-Alfonso to get her take on the "brat" trend reaching Vice President Harris' headquarters. They also weigh in on former President Trump becoming more beloved in the Hispanic community following the attempt on his life, and how social media will continue influencing voters over the next four months.

Q&A With the Duffys: Is Former President Trump A Changed Man? Jul 20, 2024

Show notes

Since former President Trump survived an assassination attempt

last Saturday, many Americans have been wondering the same thing: is former

President Trump a changed man?

President Trump’s first appearance at the Republican National

Convention this week seemed to suggest he was, appearing far more

sensitive and calmer than he usually is. However, the true test came down to

last night when former President Trump accepted the presidential nomination.

After giving an over 90-minute speech, the longest televised acceptance speech

in history, do Americans believe he's a changed man after his near-death

experience?

Sean and Rachel are joined by the managing producer for 'The Dan

Bongino Show,' their daughter Evita Duffy-Alfonso to recap

the week and share their thoughts on whether they believe former President

Trump has changed since the horrific events of last Saturday.
