1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Today, we have Dean

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Kine with us. You probably recognize him from his role

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: as Superman, and we think he is Superman now because

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: he's kind of stepped away from the woke left, which

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: just really hard when you're in Hollywood. Dean, thank you

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: for joining me.

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 2: I'm honored to be here. Tutor, thank you very much

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 2: for having me.

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely so.

10
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: I was kind of like scrolling your Twitter to prepare

11
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: for this, and I saw this clip of it's like

12
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: a one minute clip of California today of how disastrous it's.

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 3: Become and all the homeless.

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: It's not even it's like just those sides of the

15
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: streets have just become like little makeshift buildings, which I

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: think if you don't live there or you haven't visited there,

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: it seems very surreal.

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: But you left, and I assume you posted that because

19
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: you are familiar with.

20
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 4: That, very familiar with that, you know when you And

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 4: so it's coming clear now to people because the media

22
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 4: has been sort of hiding this and everything's been going,

23
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 4: you know, pushing it down.

24
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: They don't want to publicize it. But the reality is

25
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: when you incentivize homelessness and you pay for it, you're

26
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: gonna get it. And that's what they've done in California

27
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: since well.

28
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom's ten year plan to eradicate homelessness turned twenty

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 4: this year, and he's done a terrible job because we

30
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 4: have in California.

31
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: I'm in Nevada now.

32
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 4: I've moved out for that Partially that reason we have

33
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 4: in California half of the country's homeless, because there's NGOs

34
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 4: are getting paid by the government to take care of

35
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: the homeless people. Well, if they get paid and there's homeless,

36
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: they get paid. If there's no homeless, they don't get paid.

37
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: So they're incentivizing these NGOs to continue making money on

38
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 4: the homeless and assist terrible it's bad governance, it's awful.

39
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom is a huge part in the horrible, horrible

40
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: policies of the California state legislature. Is why I left California.

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 4: I'm here in Nevada, happy as a clam. I'm originally

42
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: into Michigander, though I was born in Michigan. I was

43
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: born in Mount Clements, Michigan, Sulford, Germany. But since you're

44
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: not governor, since you're not governor, I'm not going.

45
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: For I had to leave you, I got it. But

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: you love it. I mean, you've noted that you actually

47
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: love California.

48
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: You wanted to stay there. It's not like you left

49
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: because you absolutely hate it. You love the state.

50
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: The state's gorgeous, most incredible resources, the most incredible weather.

51
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: You know, you look at the farm land, all but

52
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: the policies, you know. It was my son.

53
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 4: My son is twenty four and when he was twenty three,

54
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: revenue is graduating from college, who went to high Point

55
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 4: University in North Carolina.

56
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: It was great for him to go across the country,

57
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: just like I did. I left Malibu, California, and I

58
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: went to Princeton.

59
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: It was a great change for me, and I grew

60
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: up and I was like, Wow, there's a whole different

61
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: world than the beach in Malibu and so on and

62
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: so forth, and and that's a wonderful thing to you know, broaden,

63
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: broaden your ear experience. But I couldn't stay in California

64
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: any longer with all this stuff because my son was like, Dad,

65
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 4: you keep on a part of my language. He said,

66
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: you keep bitching about this and keep bitching about that.

67
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 4: Why are we in California, and I was just like,

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 4: he might have hit me in the head with a

69
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: hammer to give the same response. I was just like,

70
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 4: you don't want to live here. I mean, everybody always says,

71
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: you know, go live in Mountlibu, California.

72
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: That's the spot.

73
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: And it's a great place to live, don't get me wrong.

74
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: Beautiful weather, and it's a small thirteen thousand plus community.

75
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: It's very small on the beach and it's just lovely.

76
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 4: But I never would leave my house on the weekends

77
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 4: because so much traffic and things were because everybody came

78
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 4: out there, and bless them for that.

79
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: But that wasn't part of the stuff that made me leave.

80
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 4: What made me leave was you know, fires, the horrible

81
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: forest management done by Gavin Newsom in California. My house

82
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: burned all the way around my house. Before then I

83
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: had to pay you know, fire insurance paid for that.

84
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 4: But then my fire insurance dropped me. All the regulations,

85
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 4: all the homeless, all the taxes. I don't miss paying

86
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: fourteen point three percent state income tax. I don't miss

87
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: that at all. The gas everything about it was just poor,

88
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: poor policy after poor policy. I love California. It's a

89
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: lovely state, but the government absolutely sucks.

90
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

91
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: No, I mean, obviously we all agree with you there.

92
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: So I want to talk to you about the wokeism

93
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: of that, because obviously that was sort of what they

94
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: pushed in this latest election. How that has impacted people personally.

95
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: And actually, I read an article about one of your

96
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: co stars, Terry Hatcher, the other day, and I have

97
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: to say, like, she's someone that I have loved since

98
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: I was much younger as I watched her through her career.

99
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: Kind of felt like I followed her.

100
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: Through her career and really admired the work that she did.

101
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: And then I read this article the other day that

102
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: where she said, you know what, I'm just done dating.

103
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: I'm not dating anymore. I'm probably going to be alone,

104
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, this is kind of where relationships

105
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: have gone though in this society where it just feels

106
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: like people have become more shut off. We have become

107
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: a kind of selfish society. We don't make room for

108
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: other people, and it leaves people alone. And I'm not

109
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: saying I know her personal story and whether or not

110
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: she wants to be alone, but it.

111
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: Struck me that here's a beautiful.

112
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Woman who I would imagine has her choice of whoever

113
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: she wants today, and she's choosing to be alone.

114
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: Right now, what does that? What does that look like?

115
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: As you see you know, just these school shootings and

116
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: things like that where people feel like they're very isolated.

117
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: Right now, what do you think do you think that

118
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: has come from the woke society at all?

119
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 2: Well? I think yes, of course, the woke society and

120
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: that whole thing about if you say the wrong thing,

121
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: you'll be canceled.

122
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 4: And yeah, follow the line, toe the line, all that

123
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 4: sort of sub especial in Hollywood that happens. But having

124
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 4: raised a child through all of this, and I'm a

125
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 4: single father, i am alone, but I'm pretty happy.

126
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 3: Hey I'm seeing something here.

127
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

128
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: No, okay, all right, my dreams have been shattered. That's fine.

129
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 2: Was very as low as Lane of all time. She

130
00:05:59,440 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: really was.

131
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 4: She was the best I think Christopher Reeve was the

132
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 4: best Superman, you know, So I just think that she

133
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: did a great job. She was the engine that drove

134
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 4: the show, and it was a lot of fun to

135
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: react off of her, and we had a blast her

136
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: choices for you know whatever. I mean, you know, she's

137
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: been married and has you know, gone through some things,

138
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: and that's just relationships stuff.

139
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 2: I don't know that.

140
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: I can't speak specifically to Terry's situation, but I do

141
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: know that like people are.

142
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the school shooting and that just

143
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: took place.

144
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 4: This fifteen year old kid, you know, was ranting and

145
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 4: raving about how men have to be off the earth,

146
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 4: you know, and this sort of a thing. So we've

147
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: created this this world where you know, there's people on

148
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 4: the street. You've seen me on the street interviews, Hey

149
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 4: do we need men, No, we don't need men, blah

150
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 4: blah blah. It's become this misanthropy thing where they're just

151
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: just bagging on men, especially masculine men, masculinity. I'm a

152
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: football player, you know, I'm a deputy sheriff in real life.

153
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 4: My friends are military guys. These are alpha male men

154
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: who you might go, oh, they're so cave man like,

155
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: but when your life is on the line, you're gonna

156
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 4: want that guy to lift your car or to defend

157
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: you or fight for you and all that sort of stuff.

158
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: So it's become like this toxic masculinity thing, which is

159
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: insane to me, you know, I.

160
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: Mean, I get it.

161
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: Don't be a jerk, don't be a you know, don't

162
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: be a jerk, but I mean be masculine. Thank God

163
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: for guys like Dana White out there speaking the way

164
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: he does and allowing his fighters to speak. The NFL,

165
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 4: which I played in as well, is horrible with that stuff.

166
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: It's terrible.

167
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't that shocking how things have changed?

168
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: You get Harrison Butker up there a very very devout Catholic,

169
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: I believe quoting scripture and saying at at this graduation

170
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: is college graduation, saying you know, the greatest thing you

171
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: may do all these other wonderful things, but the greatest

172
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: thing you'll ever do is be a wife or a

173
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: husband and a parent.

174
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 4: That's for me. I've done all kinds of wonderful things.

175
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: Greatest thing I've ever been a part of my son, Christopher,

176
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 4: best thing ever, my favorite person in the world, my

177
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: best friend. Like I rejoice over this child because there's

178
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 4: something about that and that's been poop pooed in our society.

179
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, kids, let's not have kids. Let's uh,

180
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: let's just you know, run around. You get people like

181
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: what's your name? The girl of Jason Bigspete on Chelsea Handler. Yes, sorry,

182
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: you ever saw that video? Yes?

183
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: Yes, sure, yes, yes, cool, that's cool.

184
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: He's like, you know, I get to wake up in

185
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 2: the morning whenever I want to. I'll have a mimosa.

186
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 2: I'll do great. How is your How does that really

187
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: feel at night when you go to bed? I mean, well,

188
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: I guess.

189
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: So I have a theory on this because I believe

190
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: that so many people have pushed the younger generation or.

191
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: I guess it was really I think it was really.

192
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: Our generation that this started with you, because it was

193
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: like when the Sex and the City Show came out

194
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: and everybody was told like, just no strings attached, you

195
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: never have to have kids. It can just be all

196
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: about life, can be all about you. And then some

197
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: of these people chose to take that life on and

198
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: they have never experienced children, so they really they really

199
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: pushed this, like I'm happy regardless situation.

200
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: But if you don't know, and I can see if

201
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 3: you don't.

202
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: Know what it's like to have your own child, if

203
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: you watched my life on a regular basis, you would

204
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: be like, this looks very chaotic and somewhat horrible, but

205
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: it is. It's like that feeling and I think about

206
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: so we lost my dad a few years ago, and

207
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: think about all the things my dad did. He worked internationally,

208
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: he was an expert in his field. He was called

209
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: into all these special circumstances. He was a great public speaker.

210
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: He was well loved. At the end of his life,

211
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: he wanted to be next to us, his daughters. That

212
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: was all he cared about, you know, nothing else. And

213
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: I just think, what are we telling people If we

214
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: are telling people that having kids.

215
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 3: Is really it's hit or miss. He might not like it,

216
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: you're gonna love it, you know.

217
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 4: Listen, my brother doesn't want to have kids, bless him.

218
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 4: Watched me go through some legal fights to be a

219
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 4: father to my son.

220
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 2: Was unfortunate. Fatherhood is something.

221
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 4: That is and there's lots of people been talking about

222
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 4: this for a long time. You know, You've got Denzel

223
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 4: Washington talking about how, you know, father lack of fathers

224
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 4: in the home is a huge deal for kids growing

225
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 4: up and so on. So we're Larry Elder just hammering

226
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 4: at home. And it's true, especially within the black community.

227
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 4: But my father, I was lucky. I got adopted. I

228
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 4: got adopted by a man from South Dakota farm boy

229
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 4: from South Dakota. He adopted myself with my brother when

230
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: I was we were four and six. I mean, whenever

231
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: he tells me that I'm doing something stupid or making

232
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 4: a dumb decision in my life.

233
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, look at you. Look what you did.

234
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: You had no money, you had no job, and you

235
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 4: took you married a woman with two kids, two of

236
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 4: Asian babies by the way, because we're Japanese mixed. And

237
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 4: I was like, what do you I can't do anything

238
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 4: dumber than that. And it's the best thing you've ever done.

239
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 4: And he's the greatest influence on my life. I named

240
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 4: my father my son after my father. Greatest thing. But

241
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 4: it's you know, if people don't want to have kids,

242
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 4: I get it, but pushing that, you know, you know

243
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 4: what it's like in the levers of government. There's a

244
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: message you can put out there. The Biden administration put

245
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: their message out a lot of messages and I didn't

246
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 4: like any of them. And the new incoming Trump administration

247
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 4: is doing a whole different thing. How about this, how

248
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 4: about the government incentivized you have in children. I'm about

249
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: the incentivize that instead of incentivize you being homeless.

250
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: You know, that's really what it is.

251
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 4: And if the government is making the decisions to encourage that,

252
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: you know, poor welfare people can't get off welfare because

253
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: if they get a job, they're not going to make

254
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: as much money as they did on welfare at the

255
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: end of the day.

256
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: And it's just it's a catch twenty two.

257
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: So with bad government running these policies, pushing this stuff through,

258
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 4: these woke people that I went to Princeton with, didn't

259
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: agree with then and don't agree with now, pushing these agendas.

260
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

261
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 4: Although there's some good people coming out of Princeton at

262
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: the same time, like my good buddy Pete Headseth, who

263
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 4: will be the Secretary of Defense God willing.

264
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and I think that he has done such

265
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: an amazing job of fighting back against this And honestly,

266
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: I don't know that Pete Hegseth could be where he

267
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: is today had Donald Trump not fought so hard. And

268
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 1: Donald Trump continues to fight against this crazy woke media,

269
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: going after sixty minutes, going after ABC, these are all

270
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: going after the Iowa Dispatch. You know, all of these

271
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: things are very important because because people like Pete are

272
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: unprepared when they come out of the regular world and

273
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: go into this political arena where for some reason it's

274
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: fair game against conservatives. And I experienced that when I

275
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: ran for office. I know so many people have experienced this.

276
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: And it's funny because at the time you're going, how

277
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: can they say these things? How can they blatantly lie?

278
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: And everybody goes, Oh, you're a public figure now, so

279
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: they can lie about you. They can say whatever you want. Wait,

280
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I get we get a free we

281
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: have a free press. But why do we have a

282
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: press that's allowed to get away with defamation? Because you

283
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: have public figure before your name, you know that this

284
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: should not be allowed. And so Donald Trump fighting back

285
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: against that, to me is one of the most valuable

286
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: parts of what he's done in this campaign because it

287
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: sets the stage for the future for anyone else and

288
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: for Pete. I watched Pete, and I think Pete has

289
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: been on the other side of the media for so long.

290
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: I think he walked into this having no idea how

291
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: cruel it can be. But he has handled it with

292
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: such grace and such strength, and it's so impressive to

293
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: watch him say, uh huh, I'm going to keep going.

294
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has my back. I'm going to keep going.

295
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 4: That's impressive for President Trump to have his back, which

296
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 4: respect for him. I have tremendous respect for President Trump.

297
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: I was able.

298
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 4: I've known him for decades and obviously we're not best

299
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 4: friends or anything like that, but I've known him for decades.

300
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: I got to visit him in the Oval Office back

301
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: when he was president. And Pete, obviously I worked with

302
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: on Fox and Friends, co hosted with him for I

303
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: don't know how many how many times I did that

304
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: one of the greatest guys. You know, we're up at

305
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: four o'clock. We're at work at four am. If he

306
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: had a drinking problem, you're not up at four am,

307
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: that's true, and you ain't.

308
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 4: Clear as a bell and he is. And you know,

309
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure like it must have been interesting.

310
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 4: I haven't looked at the gone back and looked at

311
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 4: what they said about you or what they did. I'm

312
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: sure it was ridiculous. They're what they're saying about Pete

313
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 4: is ridiculous. Yeah, I imagine if I were to run,

314
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: it'd be ridiculous to hear what I was. I'm sure

315
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 4: Womanizer would be in there. You know, I've never been married.

316
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 4: You know, I have a child out of wedlock.

317
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: Yes. Have I drank in my life Yes? Have I

318
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: been drunk at a party before? Probably? Yeah, especially you know,

319
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, like that kind of stuff is

320
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: insane when you look at what the real the people

321
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: who were in office, what they've done. You know, fifty

322
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars in sexual sexual harassment lawsuits that they've

323
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: settled quietly, who are right? What have they done? You know,

324
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: that's worse than what Hegseth has done.

325
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: But it goes way beyond that, because if you could

326
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: get in, I mean, honestly, this is kind of a

327
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: pet peeve of mine, if we could get into that

328
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: congressional fund that has paid off people who have been

329
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: abused by members of Congress, that is beyond just adults,

330
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: that goes to abusing kids, that goes where it's deep

331
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: and dark.

332
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: And that's the thing.

333
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: How do these people get to hide it with taxpayer

334
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: money we pay to hide their mistakes.

335
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, tremendous, tremendous hypocrisy. But that is the government, and

336
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: it's I mean, look what Joe Biden just did also

337
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: with it getting like, I don't know what eighteen hundred

338
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 4: people or whatever he's done.

339
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: That's crazy. You look at the community commutations of sentences

340
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: and the partons given by each president. It's like here, here, here,

341
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, it's crazy, this entire administration.

342
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: Listen, no one's above the law, Dean, that's.

343
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: Unless you're Biden or you know, you start listing it off.

344
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: It's crazy. But this is a new era, and I'm

345
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: super First of all, I'm very optimistic as a person anyway.

346
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: I believe that you know, it goes back to the

347
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: you know, get knocked down eight times, get up nine.

348
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: I'm optimistic. I think I can go on. I think

349
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: you know, you can work through things.

350
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: Of course, it's it's tough, tough slog, but if you

351
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: never give up and you never surrender, you're gonna get

352
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 4: there eventually.

353
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: I'm optimistic. But this administration coming in is full of

354
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: people that I know, who I respect.

355
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 4: I am so optimistic for America and the world's future

356
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 4: because of this. Elon Musk has done something so incredible

357
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 4: with and it goes back to what you were saying

358
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: about going after people for slander and libel.

359
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: With what he's done with X and community notes and

360
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: the immediate fact checking. No longer.

361
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 4: Can these these media outlets get get go out, get

362
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 4: out there and just say anything they want to. The

363
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton you know playbook doesn't work anymore because the

364
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: media is not entirely controlled.

365
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: Because you can post something, I can post something.

366
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 4: And you know, you get that guy who was saved

367
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 4: in you know, uh CNN's Carrissaward, you know, saved this

368
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 4: guy in the in the in this incredible president.

369
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, how how incredible I've saved him. It's wonderful.

370
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, Yo, that's this guy here, he's in a torturer.

371
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 2: He's what he's done here, you know, here's pictures of him.

372
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: That kind of stuff is incredible. They could bury that

373
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: stuff and they would, but it can't happen anymore.

374
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

375
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Obviously, I think we've all thought through, well,

376
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: what was Twitter? You know, what did Twitter do? And

377
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: then the Twitter files came out and we got to

378
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: see what actually Jack Dorsey and everybody was actually doing

379
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. But really, if Donald Trump had gotten

380
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: back into office, would Elon Musk have ever bought Twitter?

381
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: Would that have ever been exposed? And that's where I mean,

382
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: there's so many reasons, like Hindsight's twenty twenty, right, there's

383
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: so many reasons looking back that Donald Trump couldn't be

384
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: in office again consecutively because we had to see how

385
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: bad it was.

386
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: There had to be an Elon Musk that would emerge.

387
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: All of these things had to happen to get that

388
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: media back into the condition it should be, because really,

389
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: social media has become media and it has become this

390
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: driving force in the political realm and culture.

391
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: And it was just off the rails.

392
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: It was insane, it was crazy. But what's happened now?

393
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: And I think you're dead right.

394
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, I do think President Trump

395
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 4: probably won that second election. There was a lot of

396
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 4: shenanigans going on, shall we say, but that'll wait.

397
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 3: And that's what we saw from the Twitter files.

398
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: You know that alone, the amount that they were suppressing people,

399
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: knocking people off the internet, not even allowing voices to

400
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: be heard, that alone was election interference.

401
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: They took President Trump off of Twitter.

402
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's true.

403
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: What the hell? So?

404
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that was craziness. And so now I agree

405
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 4: with you wholeheartedly. You know, he came in I believe.

406
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 4: And I'm not going to speak for the president, but

407
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 4: he came in that first administration and it hadn't been there,

408
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: hadn't had to deal with the machination, you know, mechanization

409
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 4: of how Congress runs and who all the people are

410
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 4: around here. And I think the fact that he got

411
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 4: burned basically in that first administration. He's a guy who

412
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: doesn't give up. As you can see from all the

413
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 4: law there and the things they put on him. I

414
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 4: can't imagine the pressure on him. It's insane. But he

415
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 4: didn't give up, and he fought back and he learned

416
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 4: so much. That's why he's surrounding himself with these people

417
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 4: who are I'm not gonna say loyalists, but who are

418
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 4: the same vision. Listen, half the people he's brought in

419
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 4: his administration I would have brought in if it was

420
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 4: my administration, because I know trust them and they're solid

421
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 4: people who who love this country. I mean, Pete Hagsaid

422
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: is a patriot of patriots. I mean, that's why the

423
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: inside liner of his jacket's got the American flag. That's

424
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: why he's got the American flag coming out. You know,

425
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 4: he go with the people on his arm.

426
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: The Jerusalem Cross on his chest, which is not a

427
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 2: white supremacist thing. I'm not sorry. I'm a history major.

428
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 2: You know, it's like, that's insane to me. And I

429
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 2: know the guy so well.

430
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: You know, there's guys like Rick Grinnell who were in there,

431
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: and there's just great people. Doctor Oz is in there.

432
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 4: I love that RFK is in there, Telsea Gabbert, all

433
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 4: these former Democrats have said, this is wrong what we're doing,

434
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 4: and what's going to happen. And this is my prediction. Obviously,

435
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 4: predictions are predictions that they you don't know what's going

436
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 4: to happen. I mean, if those if those one hundred

437
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 4: remaining hostages aren't out of Israel by the time President

438
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 4: Trump takes office, there's going to be hell to pay

439
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 4: for real.

440
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 3: And that's what he said. And now the media has

441
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: jumped on that. Oh what does he mean by that?

442
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you want a president who's going to say,

443
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: if we have and there are American hostages, if anybody

444
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: takes an American, we're going to get him back.

445
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: Yep. That's that's what he's saying. And you'll pay the

446
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: price for taking him.

447
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: Right, And that shouldn't be controversial. That's the crazy part.

448
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: Why is that controversial? It's controversial to me that it

449
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: has been We're going on a year and a half

450
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: now of these people being gone, and Biden hasn't even

451
00:20:58,960 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: said their names.

452
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 3: Never once has he said the hostages names.

453
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 4: That's insane. I mean, his this the Biden administration. Listen,

454
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 4: we dodged a bullet and then some just like President

455
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 4: Trump dodge the bullet. But cut in here, you know,

456
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 4: incredible had that administration. I mean, I'm really I was

457
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 4: very very concerned about what was the direction we were

458
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 4: going and what was happening. But now I'm I'm extremely

459
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 4: optimistic and I think things are gonna flip around. It's

460
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 4: amazing to see how much stuff has already happened, the

461
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 4: changes that have happened. Guitar kicked out a bunch of

462
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 4: you know, Hamas, big big wigs, if you will. Everybody's running.

463
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 4: The rats are running because the light is shining and

464
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 4: he'll pay the price. Israel knows that Yaho's going to

465
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: know that that Trump's going to have his back. And

466
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 4: look at all the madness that's going on there and

467
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: Syria and Lebanon and all that stuff.

468
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: I spend time out there. I've been out there quite

469
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 2: a bit. A lot of people don't go out there.

470
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: They hear about it, but I've been there. I know

471
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: a lot, a lot of the players I went to

472
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 2: college with. You know, the Prince of Jordan. He's one

473
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: of my very very close friends. He's in the head

474
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: of all culture and religious affairs in Jordan. He's the

475
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: nephew of the king. I've sat down with all of

476
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: them and in Jordan and gone through this stuff and

477
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: heard this and sat down with I've sat down with

478
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: Prime Minster net Yah who heard his things, and the

479
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: former Ambassador Friedman.

480
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 4: I'm super excited Governor Huckaby's going to be there. I've

481
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 4: been to his house already, the one in Tel Aviv

482
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 4: before he became ambassador. It's going to be the ambassador's residence.

483
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 2: It's really nice. Reminds me of Malibu, California. Have all

484
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 2: places that.

485
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's beautiful there.

486
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, better governance too.

487
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah really yeah, that's actually not hard to be but well, okay,

488
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: but think about Okay, So let's that's all happening, and

489
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: we believe that Donald Trump will honestly be able to

490
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: bring peace to that region again.

491
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: And I think all of us who saw the Abraham.

492
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: Accords and truly understood them, believe that he is strong

493
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: enough and he presents a strong America and that chain

494
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: just how the whole Middle East works.

495
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: But we just did dodge a bullet.

496
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: We dodged a bullet, and your old industry, or maybe

497
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: you consider that still your industry of Hollywood, was very

498
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: very heavily involved in that because I think her campaign

499
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: was all just a giant movie.

500
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 3: It was all produced.

501
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Everything we saw, from Beyonce to Oprah, all these things

502
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: all very heavily produced. They well, and the people around her,

503
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean the Grutchen, Whitmers, the Pritzkers, all of these

504
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: people were producing things constantly, like these TikTok videos.

505
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: Everything was fake. Everything was fake.

506
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: But in the midst of that, this is coming off

507
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: of us having all of these different television shows and

508
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: movies that have come out that have forced a lot

509
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: of woke, just woke ideology, woke culture on us. And

510
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: nothing can be just like I mean, even a period pieces,

511
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: nothing to it doesn't look anything like a period piece anymore.

512
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: It's like everything has got to be super woke. And

513
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: I think the American people have been really frustrated with

514
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: Hollywood lately. It seems like we're overwhelmed with streaming and everything.

515
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 3: But we're not going to the movies.

516
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 4: What is happening, Well, it's that business has changed because

517
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: there are Look I've moved in Nevada. I got a

518
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: really nice house here for less money than my house

519
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 4: in California, and it's ten times The house includes a theater,

520
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 4: so I have a theater. I can watch everything in

521
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 4: my theater. It's incredible. But so you can have that

522
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 4: experience at home.

523
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: It's tough to go out and go into the movies,

524
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 2: you know, if you don't, Really it's much easier. It's

525
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: so much more convenient, and there's so much there, so

526
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: there's so much to choose from. Great. However, there are.

527
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 4: Movies like Top Gun Maverick that you want to see

528
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 4: in the theater. You want to experience that with a

529
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 4: big group. You want that sound and those planes ripping

530
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 4: across what you can get in your home theater.

531
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 2: But it's different.

532
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 3: Not all of us seen, not all of us, not all.

533
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: You can get it home in a real nice TV. Though,

534
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 2: on a real nice TV you get a big old

535
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 2: I can have.

536
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: I still am going to have four people running around mom, mom, mom.

537
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: So I was awesome.

538
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 3: Yes, it is. Watched my African learn exactly. Beak was

539
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 3: stop talking through the movie. Yeah, let's see.

540
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 4: That's part of what I love. Like at four o'clock

541
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,239
Speaker 4: in the morning. Last night, for example, by the way,

542
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 4: and this is the thing that people without kids don't get.

543
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 4: They're like, oh my god, you got awakened at four

544
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 4: o'clock in the morning. I fell asleep last night early

545
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 4: and my door was opened. I just didn't close it,

546
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: and I was too tired to move. I was like,

547
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 4: I can't, I'll just leave it. My son saw that

548
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 4: was open. He was up at four o'clock in the

549
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 4: morning because he's a night out only. He does most

550
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 4: of his work and stuff at night, and I haven't.

551
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 4: I have had some knee injuries and my knee was

552
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 4: hurting me, and I guess I was like, ah.

553
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: My knee. He heard it.

554
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 4: He comes in to check on me at four o'clock

555
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 4: in the he said, yeah, you're right. I was like, what,

556
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 4: He goes, I heard you going, you know, I was like, yeah,

557
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 4: my knee was hurt. He's like, and I was like,

558
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 4: come here, you got a look there's nothing in the

559
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 4: world like that same thing. As I go back to

560
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 4: my favorite movie in the world, it's a wonderful life.

561
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 4: When at the end, you know, He's and I and

562
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 4: I've I've said this, if you know George Bailey, I've

563
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 4: used George Bailey as a pseudonym before and things. But like,

564
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 4: because I am sort of the you know, I'm the

565
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 4: leader of his family. I've got everybody and they're all

566
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: sort of under my wing. And I love that and

567
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 4: that's great. But there's times where I'm like, why do

568
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 4: I have to have all these children? You know, why

569
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 4: don't you have to have all this stuff? And then

570
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 4: I get that, but it's also the greatest thing in

571
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 4: the world.

572
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: You know.

573
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 4: The first time I got sick, after my son was

574
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 4: little and he was getting older, I got sick and

575
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 4: I was laid out. He comes in, he brings me soup,

576
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: he brings them and there's just little gestures like that.

577
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 4: You know, You've you've helped raise a person that's going

578
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 4: to be a wonderful, you know, human being on this earth,

579
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 4: a compassionate, caring, loving, and you go, that's totally worth it.

580
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 4: And that's what I want for Christmas. Everybody around my

581
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 4: house because everybody's coming here and just madness and it's

582
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: and I've got it coming, so I'm super excited.

583
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 2: And that's what you think.

584
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: That's I think that's what people are actually craving when

585
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: you see oh gosh, one of you had Jaguar do

586
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: the crazy commercial and then a different there was a

587
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: different commercial where it was like a dad who was

588
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: watching their child through.

589
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 3: Life, and people were like, oh my gosh, it was Apple.

590
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 3: Wasn't it something crazy?

591
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: Yes, they're dancing like he and then the dad that

592
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: couldn't hear and the Apple.

593
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 3: And they put the things in and he put him

594
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: in and he could hear his daughter playing the and

595
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 3: that was like, oh my gosh, it was so sweet.

596
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like, if Apple's doing that, they understand that

597
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: people want to go back to less chaotic times. I mean,

598
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: as chaotic as home can be. You're right, there's some

599
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: calm in the midst of chaos because you're like, these

600
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: are my people, and they.

601
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: Got your back and they're real and they're they and

602
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 4: they love you like my son no quest. I mean

603
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 4: I would there's times where I'm so tired and he's like,

604
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 4: oh God, I'm hungry for some reason, I can get

605
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 4: up and go make him food, you know what I mean.

606
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, there's no way I would never get up

607
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 4: to wake myself food. I was go to been hungry.

608
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,560

Speaker 4: has this idea and I listen, I've come out in

619
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 4: my days before and done in Las Vegas. It's different

620
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: when you live here because I never go to the

621
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: Strip and it's just the entertainment capital of the world's

622
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 4: right there. But it's quiet, neighborhood's beautiful home. It's much more.

623
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 2: Space than you had in California, much better weather than Michigan.

624
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 4: No offense, yeah, no offense, but but I mean outside

625
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 4: I'm wearing this today, and it's perfect weather. You know,

626
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: it's nice and and and But my parents were five

627
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 4: minutes away, and I moved close because they needed to

628
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 4: have us. My dad's eighty one, my mom's seventy eight.

629
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 4: You know, they they need us around, We need to

630
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 4: be nearby. And having their grandson next to them and

631
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 4: around them. He goes over there and fixes their TVs

632
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 4: and doestuff even when I'm away. So I'm over Mama

633
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: Papa's and I'm fixing their TV. That's not there's that

634
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 4: moment you're like, it's okay, that's fine.

635
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: But I know it's funny because I feel like once

636
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: your kids get older and they start my mom is

637
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: a few houses down from us, and my girls will go.

638
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: Up there like we're at Grandma's.

639
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: We're taking care of grandma. And my mom is funny

640
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: too for her because she's like, they're my whole world now,

641
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, Like that's what I need to be around

642
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: them all the time. And I mean, I feel the

643
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: same way. But I like it's funny because when you

644
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: talked about them making the food thing I say to

645
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: my girls all the time, they're like, I love you

646
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: more and I'm like, you don't. I know you think that,

647
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: but you have no idea what it's like.

648
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: You just have no idea right now to help.

649
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: Right I've been in both places.

650
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: I've been the kid and I've been the mom, and

651
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the mom has this crazy like you

652
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: don't even know. When you're the kid, you know, you

653
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: think you love your parents, but you're when you're the mom,

654
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm crazy about these kids.

655
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 4: It's it's to me, it's the most wonderful thing in

656
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 4: the world. And again, our government would promote that. You know,

657
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: there was I don't know what country was, whether it's

658
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 4: Hungary or Poland or whatever. I think it was Hungary

659
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 4: where they were giving you tax breaks, more and more

660
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 4: tax breaks.

661
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 2: You have three or four kids, you don't have to

662
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: pay income tax, things like that. Well I'm not saying,

663
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: you know, bribe the American public, but incentivize it. Incentivize

664
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: the family unit.

665
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

666
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. We have people in government that

667
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: are constantly looking at what could it be. How do

668
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: you I mean, in Michigan we have a declining population, Like,

669
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: how do you incentivize that. I mean, those are the

670
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: kinds of creative ways you have to think about it.

671
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: But also I do think that we're seeing more of

672
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: that wholesome cultural depictions coming out in film and coming

673
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: out in some of these stories, and we see people

674
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: who are stepping away from Hollywood. Like we had Zachary

675
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: Levi on and he's like, you know, we're trying to

676
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: create a Hollywood that is a second hall, you know,

677
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: something that is appealing to people because I think everybody

678
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: loves That's why you love a wonderful life, right, It's

679
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: because of that story. Because life is hard, life is

680
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: not easy, and that's the that is the point of

681
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: that story.

682
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 3: Life is really hard. But at the end of the day,

683
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 3: there are people that you mean so much to and

684
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: they can't function without you one hundred percent.

685
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 4: And who's the bad guy in that the evil banker

686
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 4: who's just trying to take over things from you know

687
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 4: what I mean. And here's a guy who's working so

688
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 4: hard to sacrificed everything for his beautiful family.

689
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: My brother, by the way, fell in love with Donna

690
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: Reed during that watching that movie.

691
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 4: He's two years older than me. He's had a thing

692
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 4: for her ever since and so like, that's what he

693
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 4: wants in a wife. And listen, God bless it the

694
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 4: same here. You know, there's something about that and a

695
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 4: partner and a life partner and someone who believes in

696
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 4: you and has your back, and to have that, it's great.

697
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 4: It's much better than Jason Biggs peeing on you in

698
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 4: the ocean and then you wake up by yourself.

699
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: There's nothing right, right, I mean, And there's something to

700
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: be said for not competing, you know, like that, Like

701
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: I think what you just said is so important.

702
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 3: Partnership and to believe in the other person.

703
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: I think that's something we've lost too, because they're I mean,

704
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: you see this on social media, even this constant competition.

705
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: Between husband and wife, and there's this new thing.

706
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: I see this all the time, and I don't know

707
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: if it's just like targeted to me, if this is

708
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: in my algorithm, but like people, these husbands and wives

709
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: that play jokes on each other and they get lots

710
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: of you know, they get lots of clicks, I guess

711
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: because they like throw like this one woman, every time

712
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: she walks in the door, all this white stuff falls

713
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: on her and it's something horrible and like they obviously

714
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: think that's funny.

715
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: But I'm like, oh my gosh, it's a weird thing

716
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: that we're promoting a society play a trick.

717
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: At a certain point, you have to get annoyed when

718
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: you can't trust walking in the door, you know. I

719
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: just think that we as a society have pitted people

720
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: against each other for so long. I heard something the

721
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: other day and I was like, man, I really need

722
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: to take this to heart.

723
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 3: Whether it is my.

724
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: Personal relationships or in my career, it is to be

725
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: stingy with your criticism. And I'm like, that really can

726
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: only end up being good for everybody if you are

727
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: a stingchy with Like I said, I'm working on that.

728
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm learning that, but it has been ringing over in

729
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: my head. I'm like, man, if we were more.

730
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: Stinchy with our criticism, we would be a happier society.

731
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 4: Well, because then everybody's not getting attacked at every second

732
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 4: for every little thing. You know, and you know Hollywood,

733
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 4: Hollywood is going through a huge change. Obviously, Disney's made

734
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 4: some huge mistakes. I know Bob Iger I worked with

735
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: him when I was playing Superman and doing that stuff.

736
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 4: I like Bob personally. I don't like what Disney has done,

737
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 4: and I would have no problem having that conversation with him.

738
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 4: Top Gun Maverick did super well and sort of saved

739
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 4: people going to the movie theaters. And in fact, there's

740
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 4: a clip of Spielberg saying that to Tom Cruise when

741
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 4: during the pandemic, Ever was like, movies are dead, We'll

742
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 4: never be able to go outside without masks on again.

743
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah blah. Came out and saw that, and

744
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 4: it's got a good patriotic theme. In fact, Pete Hexatt said,

745
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 4: we'll get those people to cut our new ads for

746
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 4: the Defense Department, which is yes, yes, do that. Go

747
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 4: back to Frank Kapra who did It's a Wonderful Life

748
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 4: and all these other Mister Smith goes to Washington. That's

749
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 4: the American spirit that I grew up loving and wanting.

750
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 4: But we've gotten so far away from that as Hollywood.

751
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 4: But I think, you know, if you start.

752
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: Doing movies like that, if people can make if Zachary

753
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: Levi can get out there and make more movies like that,

754
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 2: if I can get out there and make more movies

755
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: like that, we will and that hopefully will help change.

756
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: You know.

757
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 4: They always say politics is down well Andrew Breitbart, The

758
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 4: late great Andrew Breitbart said it, well, politics is downstream

759
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 4: from culture. So if you're putting these messages out there

760
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 4: that are positive and wonderful and uplifting towards the family,

761
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 4: toward America, towards it, you know, the freedom of the individual,

762
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 4: which is what people get away from. It's where this

763
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 4: country is founded on individual freedoms, and people forget it

764
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 4: that when they talk about the collective and what's better

765
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 4: for the boloney, it's about individual freedoms, protecting the minority voices.

766
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: You're free to do what you want. It's why everybody

767
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: wants to come here.

768
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 4: That's why nobody cares where your race, creed, color, sex, gender,

769
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 4: whatever you want to say. Nobody cares if you create,

770
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 4: you know, a great product, if you invent the zipper,

771
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 4: or if you have SpaceX or Tesla.

772
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 2: I'm just going to.

773
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 4: Borrow all of Elon's things because he's done so well.

774
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 4: I mean, nobody cares. You know, he's an African American

775
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 4: for the love of God, right so, and he's done

776
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 4: so well, and that's to be respected and admired, and

777
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 4: you want to emulate that. When I see an actor

778
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 4: get seventy million dollars for picture.

779
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 2: I go, sweet, that means I have a shot to

780
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: get that good year. Man, let's go.

781
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 4: I celebrate their success and I strive to be like them.

782
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 4: That's what we need to get back to instead of this.

783
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 4: Oh well, Tom Cruise made that, so I should get

784
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 4: some of his money here. You know, he doesn't deserve that, boloney.

785
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 4: He deserves everything he gets.

786
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: I wholeheartedly agree. And I think you said the American spirit.

787
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: I think that's what it is. That's what people are

788
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: dying and dying to get to. They're just like clawing

789
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: back the American spirit. And I believe that the moment,

790
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: like you said, Donald Trump dodged that bullet, the moment

791
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: he stood up, was the moment America went this is

792
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: who we are. We fight, This is who we are.

793
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: We don't lay down, we don't get scared, we don't

794
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: back off.

795
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 3: We fight. And that to me was an.

796
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: Incredible historic moment. That picture will live in infamy forever.

797
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, people will look back at that and go,

798
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: this was the guy who stood up and looked at

799
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: the people and made sure the people were okay. That

800
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: was the moment when he was like, are you Okay, America,

801
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: We've got to keep going. And I just thought that

802
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: was incredible. And that's those are the stories that America

803
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: was built on. Those are the stories that we do.

804
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: When you talk about top Gun, that's that's the America

805
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: we go to see and cheer on, and that's when

806
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: we go to the theaters, and that's the American spirit

807
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: that we have to bring back.

808
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 3: And I mean, I just love it. And I've loved

809
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 3: talking to you. I could probably talk to you for

810
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 3: hours more. I feel like I've taken too much of

811
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 3: your time already.

812
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 2: Agreed, we're bringing out of time already.

813
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: We've been talking for almost forty minutes, but it doesn't

814
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 3: seem like it. It's been so such a pleasure, my.

815
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 2: Pleasure one hundred percent.

816
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: You know that we're talking about though, with that picture,

817
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 4: I've met the photographer who took it, Evan.

818
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 2: Vutich Vyatic is his name. Of course, he works for APC.

819
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 4: Who it doesn't make any money off that other than

820
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 4: his regular salary, which is the bummer, because it's one

821
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 4: of the most iconic photos in history, and that moment

822
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 4: did change everything, because that is America, and you know,

823
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 4: the people, so many of my friends who are who

824
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 4: were combat veterans and police officers, people who have been

825
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 4: shot at, you know, people who have been under fire

826
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 4: and been shot and blown up and things like that.

827
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 4: There's a certain way certain people.

828
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: You know, you never know how you're going to react

829
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: when you're under and for President Trump take it in

830
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 2: the ear like that and stand up, wants his shoe,

831
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 2: puts his hand up, fight, fight, fight. That's it's so iconic.

832
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 2: Tell you so much about the character of the man,

833
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: and that is that character of the United States, and

834
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 2: that that that.

835
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 4: Strong strength of conviction and the ability to never give up,

836
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 4: never surrender under fire, and that is America.

837
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: I agree with you one hundred percent.

838
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 4: In that moment turned everything on its head and it

839
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 4: will be remembered as one of the greatest moments in history.

840
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 3: I think there were.

841
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: People in that moment who said, Okay, this is actually

842
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: not about him, It's not about ego. No one can

843
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: fake that. I mean, that was the moment when Mark

844
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg was like, man, that was badass.

845
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 2: As a baller.

846
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 3: You're right, I can't ignore that anymore.

847
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: And I do think I've heard a lot of people

848
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: who have said, oh, I don't trust that No. I

849
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: think there was a moment for a lot of people

850
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: that day where they went, this is bigger and you

851
00:38:55,760 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: really can't deny that him avoiding that, him not getting shot,

852
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: dodging that bullet is bigger than any of us. And

853
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: that was I think also a turning point for America

854
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: where it's like, okay, we're awake.

855
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: Now.

856
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 4: Well the difference between had that shot hit its mark

857
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 4: and had it missed and just hit his ear like that. Obviously,

858
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 4: that turning of the head. I argue all the time

859
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 4: that God was like, okay, we'll just turn you here.

860
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 4: It was world altering, world altering. And you know, whether

861
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 4: you're religious or not, I believe that that God, you know,

862
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 4: had a little providence took place there where he just

863
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,479
Speaker 4: turned his head. And I think that changed President Trump.

864
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 4: I think that made him a different person. I think

865
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 4: it made him. Of course, he's got all the hubris

866
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 4: and all the boisterousness and no filter, which I love

867
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 4: about him, but I think it made him more humble

868
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 4: as a human being realizing how close he was to death.

869
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 4: And you know, I know Dodd Junior is a great

870
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 4: shooter and understands weapons so well, and I know he

871
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 4: knows how close his father was to not be on

872
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 4: this planet anymore. And Eric and they're big, avid outdoors,

873
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 4: but they understand that clear as day. So is President Trump.

874
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 4: It was shocking when when FBI Director Ray was like,

875
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 4: we're not sure it might have been shrap and no,

876
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, oh gosh, and that kind of stuff

877
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 4: is all getting just blown out of the water.

878
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see the JFK files. I can't

879
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 2: wait to see the Epstein Epstein flight logs and things

880
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 2: like that. I can't wait to see what's gonna happen

881
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 2: with Diddy, all these things that have been covered up.

882
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what's going to happen with

883
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: the Congressional Fund, you know, to defend you know, all

884
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: the sexual abuse allegations and all that.

885
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 4: All these things are going to see the light. It's

886
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 4: going to be a really interesting time for the United

887
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: States of America and the world. And I'm and I'm

888
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 4: here for it.

889
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: With Pop well, I'm here for it too. I can't wait.

890
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: I think that more people are here for it than

891
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: they thought they would be. So I'm very excited about

892
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: what the next four years brings. But I'm so grateful

893
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: you came on today. It's been a pleasure talking to you.
