WILL CAIN (CO-HOST, FOX & FRIENDS WEEKEND): I think Americans, I think Republicans, conservatives, can be forgiven for their skepticism. Because whether or not an election was rigged, it certainly feels like society is rigged right now, from the complete squelching of dissent on college campuses, inside the media institutions, to being lied about the Hunter Biden story, to watching President Trump impeached, every step of the way watching President Trump undermine, his legitimacy questioned. And when you deal with that for not just four years but decades, you start to think, if not an election, the entire society is rigged against people who hold my values. And at some point, Steve, Ainsley, and Brian, you begin to understand that kind of skepticism.



PETE HEGSETH (CO-HOST, FOX & FRIENDS WEEKEND): Especially at the end when you're told no, you can't question it. There will be no questioning at the end. The more you're told not to question, the more you're told not to challenge the more people feel like eh, something's not right here.
