In this podcast episode featuring Amanda Schmeck, listeners delve into the tumultuous events that unfolded after her husband, Jared, had a controversial phone call with Joe Biden in 2021. Amanda, a dedicated stay-at-home mom of four who took on homeschooling amid COVID-19 restrictions, recounts how their family was thrust into the national spotlight overnight. Following Jared's now-infamous remark, "Let's go Brandon," and Biden's unexpected response, the Schmeck family faced a deluge of harassment: from death threats and hate mail to attempts to sabotage their business and tarnish Jared's law enforcement career. Despite the adversity, Amanda shares their decision not to back down, highlighting their resilience in the face of intense public scrutiny and personal attacks.
