Hey everyone. Welcome to From the Kitchen Table. I'm Sean Duffy along with my partner for the podcast, my partner in life and my wife, Rachel Campo Stuffy.

Thank you, Sean. I'd love to say it's so great to be around our kitchen table, but we're not today.

We're not. We're not. We are in Hollywood, Florida. That's right. We're at the Hard Rock Cafe. Hard Rock Hotel. I was going to say Hard Rock Cafe. Hard Rock Hotel. And tomorrow is the Patriot Award. So we came in today. We just landed. We just landed. We came right up to our hotel room where, by the way, we ran into so many fun people on our way up there. It was so awesome. It's kind of like we ran into so many colleagues. We ran into Will trying to find the elevator. And then we ran into our producers. And we ran ran into Jimmy Fallia and then we ran into who else we run into? I can't even remember. There's so many people. There's so many people that are going to be watching the show. So many fans of Fox. The number of people that were on the plane coming down for the Patriot Awards and then the number of people at the hotel is just this cool energy that's going on for the Patriot Awards tomorrow.

And it's just, you were here last year.

I didn't go. I told you. I said, I never want to come to another Patriot Awards without you. And so here you are. So here I am. By the way, I get on the plane and who's sitting next to me, not Sean Duffy. No. But, by the way,

And some people still, you know, as happy as this occasion are, some people still reeling from the midterm elections in it not being the red wave that everyone thought it could and should be. And so we talked about this last week, kind of the philosophy behind what happened. And I've digested now for over a week what happened. I'm going to give you my brief theory. I'll give you mine and then we're going to bring in our daughter who's going to give us her theory, which might trump all of ours. It may. No pun intended. No pun intended.

Last night, Donald Trump announcing. So here's, so I, again, I've talked about the number of factors

that I think happened in the election, but I think in hindsight, Democrats were really effective

in driving fear into their
