AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Here is what America is thinking. The dossier, debunked. You have Eric Trump last night on with Sean talking about how every day their family basically received a subpoena. Then you have the January 6 committee that is one-sided and unfair and no cross-examination is allowed and now you have this raid from, for taking possibly archives away from the White House. Those are four different things that they have gone after Trump and his family for. But then you look at the flip side. Hunter Biden with his laptop. You've got Hillary Clinton that whitewashes that gets rid of classified information. And nothing happens to them. And it appears that Democrats are trying to find a way to get Trump not to run again. At least that's what many Americans think. When is enough enough? When do they stop doing this and they just let people go to the polls and vote? 

MATTHEW WHITAKER (FORMER ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL): Well, I mean, we have an election come up. But this is just a continuation on the deep state's war against Donald Trump and he is going to continue to fight back against it. And I think a lot of patriots are going to join him in that regard.
