1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Happy New Year everyone.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: I know that we're a week into January now, but

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: we've survived that first week and now we are onto

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: the second week, and we know this is going to

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: be a wild year politically but also a wild year

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: on the world stage. So we figured we would combine

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: the best of those two worlds. With today's guest, Abehamaday,

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: is here with us. He is a former Army intelligence

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: officer who served in Saudi Arabia, and he is fresh

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: off his run for Attorney General of Arizona, where he

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: came within a few hundred votes of winning, and now

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: he's recently been endorsed by President Trump for his congressional

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: race in Arizona. Abe, thank you so much for being here.

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: Thank you good to be with you. Tutor.

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: I am so excited that you are not just stepping

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: out of politics, that you're still fighting because I think

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: that you have a perspective that probably the majority of

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: folks in Congress don't have. And that's kind of something

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: that I think is is so needed in Congress right

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: now because obviously in Arizona, you are constantly thinking about

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: the border and struggling with the border. But you're also

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: someone who has been out there fighting and looking at

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: intelligence on the world stage. So let's go to the

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: border really quick first, and then I want to get

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: into immigration and all of that. But from your perspective,

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: what are the dangers that we're seeing with this open

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: border policy right now? And what are the solutions because

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: I hear a lot of people complaining about it, but

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't hear a real solid plan to stop the

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: invasion right.

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 3: Well, if we look at the difference between President Biden

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: and President Trump, I mean, it's pretty clear contrast that

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: under President Trump.

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: The border was secured.

35
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: So what led us this point where we have three

36
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: hundred thousand people entering our country every single month. It's

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: because the Biden administration has advertised the world that he's

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: not going to enforce our laws, so laws are meaningless

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: and that's why you're seeing so many people from But

40
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: what I'm concerned the most about is the number of

41
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: people on the terror watch list for entering our southern border.

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 3: It was one hundred and seventy in the last fiscal year.

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 3: And if you look at the number of Chinese spies,

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of Chinese nationals coming across

45
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: our southern border. So the rest of the world and

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 3: our adversaries are looking at what's happening and they're going

47
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: to take advantage of it.

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: They've done this time and time again.

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: It happened with nine to eleven when sixteen out of

50
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: the nineteen hijackers were Saudi's but they came here through

51
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: student visa. So they always look to find to exploit

52
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: our weaknesses. So that's exactly what's happening. But one of

53
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 3: the first solutions I want to introduce in Congress, which

54
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: I'm shocked that still has not been done before. I

55
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: know some people have been talking about it for years,

56
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: is to designate the drug cartels as a terrorist organization.

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 3: It's something I ran on as Attorney General. I was

58
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: going to use a state to do that designation, but

59
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: here we can also do it in the Congress. For

60
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: to make sure we're designating as a terrorist organization to

61
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: stop a lot of their financial transactions, because the drug

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: card tells people need to know is business operation, and

63
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: it's a very deadly business operation. But that's why you're

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: seeing that they're shifting there. They're shifting their priorities now

65
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: to human smuggling because it's actually a huge money.

66
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: Maker for them.

67
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: But you know, looking at what happens with China bringing

68
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 3: the fetanol, you know, the United States has to use

69
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: a lot of its leverage right now on on places

70
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: like Mexico, on China. So that's what I'm looking forward

71
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: to going to Congress. But it really doesn't require much more.

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: It's not rocket science. You know, it was secured under

73
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: President Trump.

74
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: Build the wall.

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: Make sure Mexico is not allowing you know, hundreds of

76
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: thousands of the legal immigrants to use this caravan to

77
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: march towards our border.

78
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: But that's where we got to get a lot tougher.

79
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: But what is the hesitation there from Congress? I mean,

80
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: over all these years of not designating the cartels as

81
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: a terrorist operation because we obviously want to have a

82
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: good relationship with Mexico. But let's be honest about Mexico.

83
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: It's a very corrupt country. The government is very corrupt,

84
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: the police are corrupt, they're in they're in league with

85
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: the cartels. But now you just see the President of

86
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: Mexico coming out and giving his condolences to al Chapo

87
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: on the death of his mother. I cannot imagine a

88
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: president of the United States coming out and giving his

89
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: sympathies to a massive terrorist leader. I mean, this is

90
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: what you are as a drug lord. So what does

91
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: that mean? How do you interact with a country who

92
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: is embedded within this, as you called it, a terrorist

93
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: organization that is on our border and coming after us,

94
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: I mean, really degrading us from the inside out, you know,

95
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: coming in, killing people, getting people addicted to drugs, the

96
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: sex trade, all of these things are happening right there.

97
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: How do you get tough on Mexico?

98
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it becomes complicated.

99
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: And if you look at how we dealt after nine

100
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: to eleven with our ally Saudi Arabia, right, I mean

101
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 3: sixteen out of nineteen hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and

102
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: we still were allies with them, but it was a

103
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: delicate type of relationship. The same thing needs to be

104
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: done with mech Mexico because you know, a lot of

105
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: the Mexican citizens are actually appalled by the drug cartels

106
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: because they caused so much havoc and violence, especially in

107
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: the northern border communities. But I think what's happening is

108
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: Mexico has lost total control of the northern border and

109
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 3: they seed its the cartels. So this is where I

110
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 3: think the United States needs to have a better posture

111
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: and putting military assets to the border, which we've never

112
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: done before at a large scale. And I think at

113
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: that point the Mexican government will know that we're talking

114
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 3: serious business here. But unfortunately, what we're having is our

115
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: border patrols turning into travel agents for these illegal migrants.

116
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: So you know, this is where it becomes complicated because

117
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 3: Mexico is a large trading partner of the United States.

118
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: But Mexico needs the United States a lot more than

119
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: we need Mexico, and we need to be able to

120
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: use that leverage for them.

121
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: So there is that leverage. But I want to say,

122
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: I want to be honest about you talked about the

123
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Chinese nationals coming across the border. China has become very

124
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: embedded in South and Central America. They are building factories there.

125
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: They are taking place of what America used to be

126
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: to those to those countries, and they're going in it.

127
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: And now those countries are relying on trade with China

128
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: more so in some cases than they are with the

129
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: United States. And I say that is a very dangerous

130
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: place for us to be and you know, we were

131
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: running a few years back on this idea We're going

132
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: to pull all manufacturing out of Mexico, make sure it's

133
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: made in America. But I will I have to be honest,

134
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: I didn't see that happen as much as I saw

135
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: trade and or I saw manufacturing pulled out of Mexico

136
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: and still flourishing in China. So how do we get

137
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: our local businesses in the United States to say we're

138
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: going to invest in our neighbor rather than in our

139
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: enemy and start to have more trade so we do

140
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: have more more emphasis, more reliance on us than on China.

141
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right.

142
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 3: You know something that's unique about my congressional district tutor.

143
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: It's actually we have TSMC, which is the largest semiconductor

144
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: chip manufacturer, that they move their headquarters from Taiwan to Arizona.

145
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 3: And you're looking at what Arizona's building this type of

146
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 3: new industry out here because we understand the geopolitical threats

147
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: that China has in that part of the world. But

148
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: you know, I think you're right where China is exerting

149
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: its control and influence over a lot of these smaller countries,

150
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: not just in Central and South America, which is really

151
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: scary because it's right in our backyard. But if you

152
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: look at Africa and the Middle East, when I was

153
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: serving in Saudi Arabia, I mean I was surprised talking

154
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: to high level Saudi officials, the Chinese are going into

155
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia at an alarming rate. I mean, the United

156
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: States and for all intents and purposes, was controlling Saudi

157
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: Arabia through a RAMCO for about a century, and so

158
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: that relationship is now kind of fractured, where the Saudi

159
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: Arabia they just joined bricks just last week with Brazil, Russia, India, China.

160
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: So that's you're right. The US leadership is waning around

161
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: the world under President Biden. But this is where I

162
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: think someone like President Trump understood negotiation a lot better

163
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: than so many people in politics these days.

164
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

165
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. The political world seems to have

166
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: gone into just talking points rather than action, and it

167
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: seems like we've had a lot of people that have

168
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: won elections on popularity and TikTok, but not because they

169
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: actually know anything about policy. You've you've served, you actually

170
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: your parents are immigrants, they came here, they left Syria,

171
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: and you were you're you were born in the United States.

172
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

173
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 2: Yes, Chicago Unfortunately.

174
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: Oh hey, you know what, I grew up in the

175
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: suburbs of Chicago. There are good people there. They just

176
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: have to have politics. It's a good city. But I

177
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: get what you're saying. So, but I want to talk

178
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: to you a little bit about that because you have

179
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: had an interesting experience. You you obviously know why your

180
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: parents left and what they the unrest that they saw

181
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. But you are a supporter of Israel,

182
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: and I think that's something that people don't understand. How

183
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: can someone who is an Arab be a supporter of Israel?

184
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: But there are many Arabs who live in Israel. And

185
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: also we need an ally there that can to monitor

186
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: what's going on when you have so much unrest in

187
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: the Middle East. Isn't that right? Yeah?

188
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: I think that's exactly exactly right.

189
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: So I've had the privilege to visit Israel while I

190
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: was in law school, serving overseas in the military. You know,

191
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: you start to understand the region a lot better from

192
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: multiple lenses. But you know, going to Israel and I'm

193
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 3: sure you have too, Tutor. It's kind of interesting when

194
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: you go there because the population of Israel, a lot

195
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: of them are Arab and they're very pro Israel. The

196
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 3: Druids out there are very pro Israel. The Bedouins are

197
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: very pro Israel. And you look at what's happening with

198
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: with Hamas. Hamas has the Gaza Strip under siege, and

199
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: it's they're going to sacrifice the Palestinian people for their

200
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 3: own mafia. Because that's what's happening. The Hamas, the leadership

201
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: lives in Qatar. They make all this money and they

202
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: just keep this conflict going on there. They don't want

203
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: any resolution. President Trump, I mean, look at what he

204
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: did to the Middle East. He literally moved the embassy

205
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, something that everybody thought was

206
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: going to create World War three, and instead what happened

207
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 3: piece in the Middle East came. I mean, I was

208
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: overseas when he signed the agreements with the United Arab Emirates,

209
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: with Bahrain, with Morocco. I mean, it was so much

210
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: progress was happening over there, and I think it's so

211
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 3: unfortunate that the Halls of Congress has been infiltrated with

212
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 3: so many of these anti Semitic people like Ilhan Omar

213
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: and Rashida Talip. I mean, they are openly calling for

214
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: you know, from the river to the sea. It's this

215
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: Marxist creep is really is on the rise so fast,

216
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: and it's no longer just on university campuses.

217
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: It's also in the halls of Congress. So we have

218
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 2: to combat that.

219
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: And I hope to be a useful tool and a

220
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: useful voice in order to combat so much of this

221
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: false and narratives that's happening.

222
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: I think that it's scary to see it in the

223
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: walls of Congress, But I can't decide what scares me

224
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: more to see the massive amount of university students who

225
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: have come out and been okay with repeating anti Semitic chance.

226
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: And I think that you've said that this was kind

227
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: of something that you saw. This takeover was something your

228
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: parents saw in Syria, and now you're seeing what they

229
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: escaped from happening in the United States. What does that

230
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: feel like? What did they say about that.

231
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: It feels like a twilight zone.

232
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: So I have family from Syria, I have a family from Venezuela,

233
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: so I've seen how quickly this happens. I mean, it happens.

234
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: It takes it takes a while for it to kind

235
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: of to see through it. But if you look at

236
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: what's going on, you know, the universities have been captured

237
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 3: for decades, and what happened is that they've only unleashed

238
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: and activated their armies and now you've seen them taking

239
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: over every single institution. What I think is so strange

240
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: is that you have these radical Marxists. It almost seems hypocritical,

241
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: right you see an LGBTQ flag flying with the Palestinian flag, right,

242
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: It's it doesn't make sense, But that's the Marxist logic

243
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: where it's the Marxists are using the universities as they're

244
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: indoctrination camps. They're using the media as their propaganda arm

245
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,479
Speaker 3: and they're using radical Islamists. They're using BLM and Antifa

246
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 3: as their military week. So you have this combination of

247
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 3: all three of happening right here in the United States,

248
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: and it's a recipe for disaster. And I calling it

249
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 3: for what it is. It's Marxism that is infiltrated. They're

250
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 3: not just at the gates. They have stormed the castle

251
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 3: and we got to save the America that we remember

252
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: and that we love.

253
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: I think that we're seeing this happening in our universities,

254
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: and it's not easy to figure out how to change this.

255
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: Because if we look back at Cuba and we talk

256
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: to people who went through the revolution with Castro, they

257
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: followed him and thought, man, this is going to be

258
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: an amazing life. Because communists always promise everything and then

259
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, everybody is poor. You

260
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: live in complete hell. So how do we get that

261
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: history to be relearned. It's almost as if our students

262
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: never learned history at all.

263
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 3: I think that's where so many conservatives are waking up

264
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: to know how important these school board races are because

265
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: the Marxists have taken over so many of these school

266
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: board districts. But you look at what's going on in Argentina.

267
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: I mean, Argentina just elected a pretty solid free market

268
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: capitalist president. But it took Look how long it took

269
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 3: them to get to that point. You know, they had

270
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: to suffer for decades under communism and Marxism. And look

271
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 3: at San Francisco, you know it always it doesn't seem

272
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: to make sense or where I didn't think they could

273
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: have elected a more radical mayor than Lori Lightfoot and

274
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: they think got Brandon Johnson. So you're right, it takes

275
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 3: a while to get out of this psychosis, which I

276
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: think it is, but the way to do it, I

277
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: think if you see the resignation of Harvard's president just

278
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: the other day, you know, I think that's where conservatives

279
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 3: are starting to apply a lot more pressure and starting

280
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: to use a similar tactics to what the left has

281
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: been doing, because we have to wrestle back control over

282
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 3: over these universities. But it's also elementary schools now too.

283
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: But unfortunately Hollywood and the cultural aspect of it is

284
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: really against us. But I'm kind of more optimistic, especially

285
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: ever since Elon Musk bought Twitter, and I think so

286
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 3: much information has changed now where you just have so much,

287
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: so many more platforms, you rumble, you got so many

288
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 3: other things that people are able to access information like

289
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 3: we've never had before. So it's probably going to take

290
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: a while, but I do see a lot of people

291
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: waking up currently.

292
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: But you're right.

293
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: If if the people are kicking President Trump off these

294
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 3: ballots and trying to prosecute him, these are people in

295
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: their forties and fifties. Imagine the radical law students are graduating,

296
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: you know, this year, how they're going to be. So

297
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: that's what I'm really concerned about is the weapon weaponization

298
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 3: of the rule of law. So it's going to take

299
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: a lot to try to get out of this programming

300
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: that they've been indoctrinated with.

301
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: But it's something that can make a.

302
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: Good point though about Republicans need to get more aggressive

303
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: with the way they educate and Democrats educate in multiple ways.

304
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: Obviously they have the media, but they send the message

305
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: directly to you, and I think that when you bring

306
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: up Mayor Johnson, he is an interesting example, along with

307
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: Mayor Adams in New York City. So you've got Chicago

308
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: and New York who are all hail the sanctuary city. Right,

309
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: we want these people. This is a humanitarian issue. This

310
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: is what we hear time and time again when the

311
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: people actually come to them. Suddenly they go after Governor

312
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: Abbott and they're like, this guy is a lunatic. Well wait, wait,

313
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you guys said you wanted this, And

314
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: that's where I think that the public needs to be educated.

315
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: Show them the clip of them saying they want a

316
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: sanctuary city, and then show them a clip of saying

317
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: we can't handle these people, because that's the reality that

318
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: they asked for and the reality once they got it,

319
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: they couldn't take it. But I think Johnson is even

320
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: more interesting. They just had some maneuver in their local

321
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: government so that Chicago residents could not vote on whether

322
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: or not they continue as a sanctuary city. So even

323
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: though he says he cannot handle this, he will not

324
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: allow the voters to speak. So we talk about them

325
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: kicking Trump off the ballot, they don't actually allow their

326
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: voters to have a choice. They got rid of Bernie Sanders,

327
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: they ended up with Biden. They're doing the same thing

328
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: with sanctuary cities. Biden is a complete disaster. Why are

329
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: we not exposing them more for taking choice away from

330
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: their own voters.

331
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: I think we need effective communicators, And I think you

332
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: just communicated it so well, Tutor, because you're right. If

333
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: you look at Johnson, what's so interesting about what's happened

334
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: by sending those migrants over there. You're seeing an uprising

335
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: among the residents of Chicago. And it's not just you

336
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: know what, they like to call us white. I've been

337
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: labeled a white supremacists by the leftist media if you

338
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: believe it. But you're seeing like black residents, Hispanic residence

339
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 3: and nobody wants us.

340
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: They know it's a drain on resources.

341
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: So that's where I think Republicans have gotten smarter, and

342
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: I think it's really been a good thing because for

343
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 3: so long, so many people in Chicago, New York, these

344
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: inner cities have been lied to by the progressive leftist

345
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: Marxist and now when they finally see their policies at work,

346
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: you know they they're opposed to them. And they won't

347
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: even allow them to vote to end sanctuary cities because

348
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: I bet you most Chicago residents would ban, would would

349
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 3: vote to end it, and that's not something they would tolerate.

350
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 3: So and you saw Eric Adams yesterday just trying to

351
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: sue these bus companies for seven hundred million dollars.

352
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 2: Now they're going to after private companies.

353
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 3: Uh. It's it's setting this country up for a place

354
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 3: that I don't want to see. And that's why, you know,

355
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: when I first ran for Attorney General Tutor, I was

356
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: the youngest statewide candidate in the country, and you know,

357
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: I recognize that I have to live with the policies

358
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 3: that I that I implement and I have to live with

359
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: the consequences of it. And I think so many politicians

360
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: these days don't have to do that, and they just

361
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 3: try to throw out these these buzzwords to their to

362
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 3: their supporters, and then once they actually have to live

363
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: with the consequences, they start to backtrack. And that's what

364
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: you're seeing Johnson and Adams doing right now.

365
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

366
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: a Tutor Dixon podcast. With these energy policies that are

367
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: so radical one so you're actually living with it. It

368
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: makes no sense at all, especially for a manufacturing state,

369
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: to say we're just going to switch over to one

370
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: hundred percent renewable energy, and you know that we're going

371
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: to end up losing automotive, will lose all of the

372
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: people that work for automotive, all of those Tier one,

373
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: tier two, tier three suppliers. It's going to be disastrous.

374
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: But I want to really quickly before you go, I

375
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: want to talk to you a little bit about Biden's

376
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: approach to the election, because this is going to impact

377
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: you too, because he's calling anybody who is anywhere close

378
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: to Trump this maga extremist, running this new commercial about

379
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: January sixth, and the attack on democracy, which I think

380
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: is such an interesting I mean, that's how democrats work, right,

381
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: It's very good. They use words really well because nobody

382
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: actually knows what that means, but everybody thinks it's terrible, right,

383
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: so it must be something you have to vote against.

384
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: So how do you fight back against the boogeyman of

385
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: Biden when he really is just a terrible president for

386
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: the country.

387
00:18:58,760 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: And you're right.

388
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: I mean year when we were when Carrie Lake and

389
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 3: I were running for governor attorney general, the Los Angeles

390
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 3: Times labeled us the greatest threats to democracy. It was

391
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: a big headline that they had, and you know, that's

392
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 3: the tactics that these people use. But I think that's

393
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: where you know, as I mentioned earlier, with Elon Musk

394
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: purchasing Twitter, we're able to get our narrative out there

395
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: a lot more effectively than ever before. And we didn't

396
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 3: realize how suppressed Twitter was prior to Elon Musk buying it.

397
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 3: So that's it's the threats against democracy line. I think

398
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: we need better communicators like yourself, Tooter, to highlight the

399
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 3: examples of them trying to kick off President Trump off

400
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 3: the ballot them trying to limit I mean, they're trying

401
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: to go after RFK Junior Jill Stein as a Green Party.

402
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 3: You know, they're the ones who want to limit choice,

403
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: and they're trying to force everybody with Biden onto the

404
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 3: American people. But I think Americans are wising up a

405
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: lot faster than ever before. And there's just so many

406
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: different dynamics going on from twenty twenty four to even

407
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. I mean, there's so much information has

408
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: been un leashed to look at Hunter Biden and the

409
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 3: corruption with Joe Biden. So I think the mainstream media

410
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 3: is being discredited at rates I've never seen before, and

411
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: I do believe it's going to be pretty dangerous where

412
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 3: all these trust and institutions are collapsing. Public Health got

413
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 3: covid entirely wrong, the mainstream media is in cahoots with

414
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: the government. I mean, how much longer can this last?

415
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 3: And I don't think it's lasting much longer. And that's

416
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: why you're seeing so many alternative news media outlets pop

417
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 3: up because people are desperate for the truth and we

418
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: will find the truth.

419
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that you're so right, though, You've got

420
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: to expose the fact that they are the ones taking choice.

421
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you look at this Democrat primary,

422
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: you've got candidates that are wanting to run against Joe

423
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: Biden and they're just like, yeah, Nope, that's not going

424
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: to happen. I mean, let's face it, they put him on,

425
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: they're stuck with him, but they are going to railroad

426
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: anybody that tries to go against him, and it's the same.

427
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we can argue that they aren't giving Republicans choice,

428
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: but they aren't giving Democrats choice either, and we need

429
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: to make sure that people know that. But we are

430
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: giving people choice. So before you go, I want you

431
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: to tell everyone where they can find you, how they

432
