1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I am excited today 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: because we have the Senator from the great state of 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: Montana and also the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: Steve Daines, with us here today. Welcome to the podcast. 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 2: Hey glad to join you, Tutor. 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you're here. You were actually in Michigan 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: not too long ago. I got to see you in 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: Grand Rapids, which was very exciting to have some love 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: paid to the great state of Michigan. But then right 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: after you left Grand Rapids, we had a pretty devastating 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: situation when we found out that Ruby Garcia was the 12 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: victim of a horrible murder from at the hands of 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: an illegal alien. We know that this is a huge 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: problem in our country. We're hearing more and more of these. 15 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: We've got the Lake and Riley story, the Ruby Garcia story, 16 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: and that's just in the last few months. And obviously 17 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: there's concern among families across the country that this type 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: of situation will continue, not to mention all the other 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: dangerous situations with the border, but we keep hearing on 20 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: the mainstream media, well, why are Republicans holding up this 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: border bill? It's bipartisan. So I want you to explain 22 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: what this border bill really is. 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: Tudor, thank you. And by the way, you know when 24 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: I saw you in Grand Rapids and then shortly thereafter, 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: Ruby Garcia was brutally murdered. Well, that hits close to 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: home for me. I mean, were parents of four children. 27 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: Our youngest daughter is about the same age as Ruby. 28 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: I just can't imagine what that would be like as 29 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 2: a parent and families here for Ruby Garcia. But look, 30 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: this so called border bill that the Democrats were proposing 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: that I voted against. It didn't solve the problem. This 32 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: problem is very solid. But you go back to when 33 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: President Trump was in office. He had policies in place 34 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: that had secured the border in a way that we 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: hadn't seen in a decade in terms of the flow 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: if illegal migrants coming across the southern border. And it 37 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: was on day one of the Biden administration. I mean 38 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: I was on the western steps there of the US 39 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 2: Capitol watching Joe Biden get inaugurated in January of twenty one, 40 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: and then hours later he goes down to the Oval Office. 41 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: Through executive order, he reversed policies that were working under 42 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: President Trump. It's as simple as that. It was the 43 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: remain in Mexico policies, it was the wall. It was 44 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: policies that truly had secured the southern border. The problem 45 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 2: with that bill that I voted against, that the Democrats 46 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: are saying would have secured the southern border, the fact 47 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: is it did not, and then the policies didn't secure 48 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: the southern border. And furthermore, I don't believe that President 49 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: Biden would have enforced any of the policies we might 50 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 2: even pass right now in Congress because he's wawless, he's 51 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 2: violating the law. They don't want to solve the problem. 52 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: The only reason Joe Biden went down to the border 53 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: here several weeks ago, if you remember, they made a 54 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: trip down on the southern border, it wasn't because he 55 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: wanted to solve the border crisis. He's got a political crisis. 56 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: He knows this is the number one issue of facing 57 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: voters across the country, across Michigan. And it's not just 58 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: the Republicans number one issue. This is a number one 59 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: issue now with Republicans, Independence and Democrats as well. He 60 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 2: has a political crisis. They don't know what to do, 61 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: but they want to see open borders. I think that's 62 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: something we forget about this. They want to see this 63 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: flood illegals coming in the country because this allows you, 64 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: from the census standpoint, you count number of citizens, number 65 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: of people, not necessarily American citizens, number of people. That's 66 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: what allocates congressional seats in electoral college. So there's a 67 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: method behind their madness right now in why they want 68 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: to see open borders. 69 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: And that was kind of my understanding of this border 70 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: bill was that there was a daily trigger mark of 71 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: when they would actually start to secure the border, and 72 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: that was somewhere around the seven thousand. So once seven 73 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: thousand people crossed, then they start to shut down the border. 74 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: And that's more people than we saw almost the entire 75 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: Trump administration cross the border. If you do that on 76 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: an annual basis and look at how many people could 77 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: come across, and then how does that work. If that's 78 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: in a bill that you have a trigger mark and 79 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: that becomes law, then are we permanently held to the 80 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: fact that, well, we have to wait until we hit 81 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: this gigantic number every day before we can actually start 82 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: enforcing an actual border on our country. 83 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: Dude, you're exactly right. That was one of the provisions 84 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: here that just didn't make sense to so many of us. 85 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 2: The number was a little over five thousand per day. 86 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: And here's the problem is that the Mexican cartels, we 87 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: just basically use that as like that's their credit every day. 88 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: Because the Mexican cartels have commanded control over the Southern border. 89 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: President Biden, through his lawless actions, has basically yielded the 90 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: power and the command and control spoonsible now to Mexican 91 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: cartels in the Southern Boarder. I've made four trips down 92 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: to the Southern Boarder. I've seen this firsthand. It's shocking 93 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: when you go down there. Of course, many of your 94 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: listeners have seen the images. I've seen it firsthand. I've 95 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: been on the boarder, spending time from eleven pm to 96 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: six am, working the night shift with our border patrol 97 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 2: agents and seeing it firsthand. But when you put these 98 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: so called quotas that were proposed in that bill, it 99 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 2: basically just green lights the ability to bring about one 100 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: point five to one point six million illegals across our 101 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: southern border every year. 102 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: Well, and I think something that people need to understand is, 103 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: now you see some of these celebrities even coming out 104 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: because it's affecting them in their homes, in their hometowns 105 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: of la or New York City. New York City has 106 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: really been burdened by this illegal migrant crisis, and they're going, Okay, well, 107 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: wait a minute, we actually have to have a border, 108 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: we have to have a secure border. We can't allow 109 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: this to happen. But I really do believe that the 110 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: reason that this has happened, that we're seeing it in 111 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: New York is not just because we've got Governor Abbott 112 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: and Governor DeSantis pushing for other cities to have to 113 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: take this on, for sanctuary cities to take this on, 114 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: but also because we're at capacity now. There's no place 115 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: for these people to go, and they've gone into these 116 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: sanctuary cities, and those cities are really suffering. Taxpayer dollars 117 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: are at their very end point going two migrants instead 118 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: of going to the people of those cities. And I 119 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: think America's fed up. 120 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: Well, America is fed up to it, or you're exactly right, 121 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: we're all fed up. In fact, we're just a guess, 122 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: we're exasperated, like, how in the world, How in the 123 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: world can President Biden and the Senate Democrats, the House Democrats, 124 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: who are all complicit in what's going on, continues to 125 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: basically stand silent. 126 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: Well, I heard that, I heard there's a chance that 127 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: he's going to come out with some sort of a 128 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: border or shut down bill or executive order, I should say, 129 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: because he has suddenly realized I'm up against it. And 130 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: I think that really what you saw in Michigan was 131 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: a turning point because you saw that uncommitted vote, which 132 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: was significant. One hundred thousand people essentially in the primary, 133 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: came out just to say screw you to Joe Biden. Really, 134 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: Democrats voted uncommitted, which meant, hey, we don't like you, 135 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: we think you're bad for the country. We're coming out 136 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: just to make a statement saying we don't like you. 137 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: And before that election, they were expecting maybe ten thousand 138 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: to come out. One hundred thousand came out. This was 139 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: not just in Dearborn, where you see a big Arab 140 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: American community. This was in the Michigan State community. This 141 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: was in the University of Michigan community. These people are 142 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: fed up with him, and I think that was kind 143 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: of the catalyst for them to say, hey, mister President, 144 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: you've actually got a problem. 145 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: Now. I think mister President has a huge problem in Michigan. 146 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: And you take a look at his numbers in Michigan, 147 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: look at his numbers nationally. He's the most unpopular president 148 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: we've had going back seventy years at this same point 149 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: in time in a presidency. I remember the days of 150 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter, the late seventies. There's a lot of parallels. 151 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: We had this very week president in Jimmy Carter, this 152 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: very week president in Joe Biden. Look, we had inflation 153 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: in the late seventies, now inflations. Now you saw rising 154 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: gas prices, we had high mortgage rates, and then we 155 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: had the geopolitical craziness was back then it was Iran again. 156 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: Now it's Iran attacking Israel through Hamas and Hesba Lah. 157 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: So you see these parallels, And I'll tell you what 158 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: if you look what happened in the fall of nineteen 159 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: eighty when Ronald Reagan ran against Jimmy Carter. It was 160 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 2: a massive landslide. And by the way, we look back 161 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: on political history and say, oh, yeah, Reagan won by 162 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 2: a landslide against Carter. I will tell you that nobody 163 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 2: saw that landslide coming against Jimmy Carter that was in 164 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 2: neck and neck race all the way until forty dollars 165 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: four election day, when then the poster started to see 166 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 2: this massive shift to Reagan. I think we're seeing something 167 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: underneath right now going off the electorate with Joe Biden 168 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: and President Trump. I think you're going to see a 169 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: big shift as this race closes out, where voters are saying, 170 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 2: good grief, we cannot stand this country can't stand anymore. 171 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: The world can't stand a week leader like President Biden anymore. 172 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a big night for President Trump. 173 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: You know, I was in a meeting last weekend. Someone 174 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: said something really interesting that I hadn't really considered because 175 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, I was just a baby when Carter was president. 176 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: But they made a very interesting point. They said, you know, 177 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: Carter was an unpopular president, but he was in his fifties, 178 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: he was young. There was still a understanding that he 179 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 1: was a capable person, that there was a mental capacity 180 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: there of sorts. But Joe Biden is in a worse situation, 181 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: and he's in his eighties and he is definitely not 182 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: with it. I mean, if you watch a video of 183 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden from just a few years ago compared to today, 184 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: you can see the mental decline. So I think that 185 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: this is a twofold problem for him. It's not just 186 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: that he's unpopular. Like Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Carter was still 187 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: young that there's a lot to be said for still 188 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: being young. 189 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 2: Well, I think too, that's a great point. I mean, 190 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: I remember I was sworn in the United States Senate 191 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: by then Vice President Joe Biden's you know, the vice 192 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: president swears in US Senators. I was newly elected in fourteen. 193 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: Joe Biden was Barack Obama's vice president. He swore me in. 194 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I remember that Joe Biden of past when 195 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: just in terms of his capacities, I mean, age catches 196 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: us all. Somebody just does it. It's just a fact 197 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: of life as the sands of time go through the 198 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 2: hour glass. And the problem that Biden has the Democrats 199 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 2: is that every day that goes by is the day 200 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: that he's getting older. It's time is not on his side. 201 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: It's working against him, and it's he needs to have 202 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: the self awareness just to step down. Frankly, everybody needs 203 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: cut that point. I mean, why is it that you 204 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 2: take a look at executive boards, pilots, the others. There's 205 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: requirements for age that says you can't serve past a 206 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: certain period of time. Now I'm not suggesting we have 207 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 2: to put a time limit for president ized dates, but 208 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 2: you got to be self aware saying I'm past my time, 209 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: it's time to retire. And that's why I think you're 210 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 2: seeing younger voters now, who typically are more lean Democrat, 211 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,599 Speaker 2: are fleeing the Democrat party and are moving towards the 212 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: Republican side of the ledger here because they can't imagine 213 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: Joe Biden serving four more years when he's really incapable 214 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: of doing it. 215 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: Now, let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next 216 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: on a Tutor Dixon podcast. I've heard so many people 217 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: that have said, you know, I'm an independent now, I 218 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: don't want to identify as either one, and yet I'm 219 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: voting for Trump. So I find it very interesting to 220 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: see what is going on. I think people don't like 221 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: the idea of the party system and being pulled to 222 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: one side and having to identify as something. You know, 223 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: this generation is like that. I don't want to commit generation, 224 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: but they are committing. They're just it's not openly committing. 225 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: I think that silent majority that we saw in twenty 226 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: sixteen is back, and it's bigger than it was. But 227 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, polls are hard to they're hard 228 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: to analyze. Let's talk about what's going on. 229 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: I want to wait. One point in that he just 230 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 2: made a really good point. Is that is that somebody 231 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: told me once when you look at elections, and I mean, 232 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 2: voters look at their ballot and they've got to make 233 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 2: a choice. But I think a really important point here 234 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: is when you talk about a candidate, don't compare a 235 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: candidate to the almighty, compare them to the alternative. It's 236 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: going to be a binary choice here between Donald Trump 237 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 2: and Joe Biden. And yeah, I know at least young 238 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 2: young people that may have some problems with President Trump, 239 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: but they've got huge problems with Joe Biden. And this 240 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 2: is a binary choice. One of these two men is 241 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: going to be the next president I states for the 242 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 2: next four years will have a profound, profound impact on 243 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: the generations to come. That's why I think you're going 244 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: to see these younger voters say, well, I cannot vote 245 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: for Joe Boyden. I'm supporting Donald Trump. 246 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 1: I think that's a very profound statement. Don't compare them 247 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: to the almighty, compare them to the alternative. And I 248 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: wish we would say that more to Republicans, because I 249 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: think that's a trap more for Republicans than it is 250 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: for Democrats, because I mean, if you look at just 251 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: this decision that Donald Trump made coming out on abortion 252 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: and saying he's not going to sign a federal ban 253 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: on abortion, and I got to tell you, I come 254 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: from a situation where abortion crushed us in the state 255 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: of Michigan. And I've been watching from my perspective what 256 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: they're doing because I've been you know, obviously this is 257 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: what crushed me. I'm like, Okay, what is their next 258 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: step here? And they've been for months putting articles out 259 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: in The Atlantic and The New York Times and Vanity 260 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: Fair about the woman who went to that twenty week ultrasound, 261 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: which is the ultrasound and that insurance pays for and 262 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: find something horrible and Republicans would force her to have 263 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: this baby. And I knew the talking points were going 264 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: to be more than a human being can handle on it. 265 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: And that's where I think that that discussion of he 266 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: is not the Almighty. He cannot create morality. He cannot 267 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: change culture overnight. This is not something that we should 268 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: even look to politicians to do. We should be coming 269 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: around the political system and saying, hey, we as Christians, 270 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: we as the community, we want to talk about family. 271 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: We want to talk about the importance of children and 272 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: the importance of a future. But I think people have 273 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: confused politicians with God and the ability to create morality. 274 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: And I just think that he has taken a very 275 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: tough step forward, but it's a step that takes a 276 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: very very wicked weapon away from the Democrats. 277 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: Well, as you know, Tutor, we're both you know, big 278 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 2: fans of President Trump and worked with him in the past. 279 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 2: And I I think what he came out and said 280 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: that you look at what kind of unpack what he 281 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: said in that video. He said, first and foremost, we're 282 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: going to protect families able to have in virtual fertilization. 283 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: You know, that's a pro family, pro baby, pro America 284 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: kind of stands for families to struggle with infertility. You know, 285 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: that's a good thing. He came out and said, we're 286 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: going to protect that. Then he said, you know, we're 287 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: gonna have exceptions for rape incests and life and the mother. 288 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: You know, so many voters want to make sure those 289 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: exceptions are in place. It's going to kind of in 290 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 2: terms of what you know, as they see this very 291 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: tough and contentent issue. And you know, we're both pro life. Dude, 292 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: I know where you're at, and you know I know 293 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 2: where I'm at. Here is a father of four and 294 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: grandparents of six. But I think I think President Trump 295 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: really laid out kind of the right position here, and 296 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: then he talked a lot about the extreme contrast between 297 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: where Democrats are at on the issue of life. They 298 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: will put no limits on abortion up until the moment 299 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: of birth when a baby can feel pain. That's out 300 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: of step with the vast majority of Americans. Even pro 301 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 2: choice America can say that's too extreme. So I think 302 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: the way the present lay that out what was right, 303 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 2: and I think we need to look at having a 304 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 2: reasonable limits on late term abortions with exceptions. But I 305 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: think President Biden said the right tone here. Excuse me, 306 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: President Trump said the right tone here. But painting that 307 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: contrast of the radical position the Democrats take on the 308 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: issue abortion, we're out of step with most countries in 309 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: the world, except for countries like in North Korea and 310 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 2: China as it relates to of protections for the unborn. 311 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, you look at Gretchen Whitmer here 312 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: in the state of Michigan. She can't talk about anything 313 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: above the waste. She can only talk to you about 314 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: things that happen in your body below the wasst and 315 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: that is abortion, abortion, abortion. But look at what she 316 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: was able to accomplish in the state of Michigan. And 317 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: I do believe that this is because we were not 318 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: ready for Dobbs. We were not ready for that discussion, 319 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: and we had been talking to people on the subject 320 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: politically and not culturally. And so instead of having well, 321 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: she claims she was going to restore Roe in the 322 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: state of Michigan. This isn't row. We have no limits 323 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: on abortion in the state of Michigan. We have no 324 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: parental consent. There are no safeguards for young women in 325 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: the state of Michigan. And so I think that's where 326 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: we have to say, Okay, we have to be honest 327 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: about this as Republicans and figure out how to make 328 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: sure that there aren't We haven't gone beyond what we 329 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: had for fifty years that we haven't gone to the 330 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: most extreme North Korean proposals in North Korean stance on abortion, 331 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: but that is what we've done in the state of Michigan. 332 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: And so to me, it's very important that we talk 333 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: about this issue from the standpoint of how do we 334 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: reduce that number by supporting families in different ways. And 335 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: if you look at since the Dobs decision, we've had 336 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: a massive increase in abortions across the country. So let's 337 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: talk about policies that support families. And that's what Donald 338 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: Trump has been so good about doing, talking about childcare 339 00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: for federal employees, talking about paternity leave, maternity leave, all 340 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: of these things that are helping families to get that 341 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: kickstart once they have that baby come home in that 342 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: tough situation of having your first kid and then being 343 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: able to Okay, we're going to come around this baby. 344 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: We're going to still have the financial means to do that, 345 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: and we're going to get a good kickstart on this 346 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: baby's life. I just think there's so many things as 347 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: Republicans we can focus on, and I love the fact 348 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: that that's the kind of people who I think will 349 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: be in office come November. The election in November. 350 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 2: Well, well said tutor, and I thank you. And we 351 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 2: need to be the party that's pro woman, pro family, 352 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: helping these young moms who maybe a single mom who 353 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 2: finds herself here with a young child or too. What 354 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 2: are we doing here to help those moms here in 355 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 2: those early stages. It's tough out there, and to put 356 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: it in a broader perspective around look at the devastating 357 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 2: impact inflation has had on these young moms that you know. 358 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 2: Let's think about the pressures that they face because of 359 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 2: this Biden economy. The same about the pressures they face 360 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 2: because they think it's unsafe to walk outside the door 361 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,479 Speaker 2: of their homes right now. They fear for the safety 362 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 2: of their children. We have policies that will protect their children. 363 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 2: We're pro law and order. We believe in supporting the police, 364 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 2: not defunding the police. And so when we start payton 365 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 2: those contrasts, I think that's where voters will say, Okay, 366 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: the Common Sense Party right now, are Republicans supporting policies 367 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 2: are going to protect my family, not endanger them. 368 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 1: So to actually enact policy that's going to make our 369 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: community safer, that's going to support moms. So that's going 370 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: to support family. We need to win the Senate. So 371 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 1: my question to you, they have a lot of money, 372 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: how do we do it? 373 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: They do. They do have a lot of money. But 374 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: that's not a new problem, by the way, you know, yeah, 375 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 2: that's true. We typically go out spent two or three 376 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 2: to one by the left. I think that's one of 377 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 2: the myths we have to continue to spell is. I 378 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: think sometimes voters think, well, the Republicans have all the money, 379 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: the Democrats don't. It's absolutely false. I mean, if you 380 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: look at every major Senate race right now across the country, 381 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: the Democrats have the money. We've got to always work 382 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: uphill against an avalanche of cash that the Left throws 383 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 2: at these candidates. But I'll tell you, I mean, you 384 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 2: know you always hear Tutor, every election is the most 385 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 2: important election of our generation. This one really is. I 386 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 2: would challenge anybody listening say, find me a more important 387 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: election looking back in history than this one coming into 388 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 2: twenty four. And the importance of the US Senate. The 389 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: reason the Senate's so important, and the reason Michigan is 390 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: so important is because if we don't win back control 391 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 2: of the US Senate, the Democrats are going to blow 392 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: up the legislative filibuster. There were two Democrat senators that 393 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: saved the legislative philibuster in the last Congress. It was 394 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 2: Joe Mansion and Kirson Cinema. Joe of course at West 395 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 2: Virginia Cinema of Arizona. They've both announced their retirements. So 396 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 2: if the Democrats have control, they will what they call 397 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 2: nuke the filibuster. And then it's a simple fifty one 398 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 2: vote majority to pass any laws that they want. They'll 399 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 2: be basically unbridled. And what will they do if they 400 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: have fifty one votes to pass a law? First of all, 401 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 2: be Roe v. Way to be codified. If you're a 402 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: pro life voter. Roe v. Waight is kind of it 403 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: would usurp any powers of the states, and Roe v. 404 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 2: Wade would be codified. But chilling, Well, here's what happens 405 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 2: is DC becomes a state that's two Democrat cenaters forever. 406 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: They move the Supreme Court from nine justices to thirteen 407 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 2: because they don't like the conservative court, and the founding 408 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: followers didn't say the Supreme Court's nine. They left that 409 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 2: the Congress to define besides the Supreme Court, so they 410 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: pack it with thirteen, turn it lurse the left. And 411 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: then third they passed Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schummer's dream Bill, 412 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 2: which is called HR one. That's a House bill they 413 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: would pass, move to the Senate and pass it. And 414 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 2: that's a federal takeover of elections. That means if a 415 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: state wants to put voter ID in place that's gone 416 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: because a disenfranchised minorities, they would allow all mail in 417 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 2: ballots everywhere, mandating it. It would take away the states' 418 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 2: rights for means and methods of administering elections. So this 419 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 2: is a massive power grap and that is teed up. 420 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 2: Adam Schiff, who's a Democrat running for the United States 421 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 2: Senate in California, actually laid this out in chilling detail 422 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 2: in writing about what they plan to do if they 423 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 2: get control. So this is not just about a policy fight. 424 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 2: This would be a complete takeover, a power grab by 425 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: the left, and we would have a hard time ever 426 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 2: getting back in the majority again for a generation, if 427 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 2: not more. 428 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 429 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. I think this is something that 430 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: people haven't heard. I mean, the federal takeover of elections 431 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,719 Speaker 1: ensures that not only do they have this power, but 432 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: they can keep this power. Right now, just for clarification, 433 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: it takes sixty votes in the Senate, and you're talking 434 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: about a simple one person majority would change that. They 435 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: would change it to that right and put. 436 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 2: The further color around that tutor. That's what they call 437 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 2: the legislative philibuster. In other words, it's a sixty vote 438 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 2: threshold to get something passed, dropping some of the majority, 439 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: but in a fifty to fifty Senate. See that's where 440 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,479 Speaker 2: we were after Joe Biden was elected president. We had 441 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 2: fifty Republicans and fifty Democrats in the US Senate, so 442 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 2: we were literally a coin toss fifty to fifty. Kamala 443 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: Harris is the tie breaking vote. That's if you go 444 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: back to your high school government days, they tell you 445 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: what happens when the Senate's tied. Well, the vice President 446 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: of the United States breaks the tie. Kamala Harris has 447 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: now broken more ties than any vice president in our 448 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 2: nation's history. So we've had forty seven vice presidents since 449 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 2: our great nation was founded. She is now number one 450 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 2: in tie breaking votes. She surpassed John Adams and John Calhoun, 451 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: who both served eight years as Vice president. Wow, Harris 452 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 2: in three years now is the gold medalist as it 453 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 2: relates to tie breaking votes. So what are some of 454 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: these tie breaking votes that she has cast. You look 455 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 2: at the so called Inflation Reduction Act. The Democrats passed. 456 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 2: Every Republican opposed it, every Democrat was for it. It 457 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: was a fifty to fifty tie. She broke the tie. 458 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 2: That cost US two trillion dollars. Then you look at 459 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 2: the stimulus bill after Biden was elected. Do you remember 460 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 2: there was a trillion dollars of unspent COVID money on 461 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 2: the sidelines. In December of twenty twenty, the Democrats now 462 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 2: have control of a house in the Senate and the presidency. 463 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 2: They jammed another nearly two trillion dollar stimulus package. We 464 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 2: said it was going to be inflationary. I remember we 465 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 2: were screaming about that. Guess what they passed it. Kamala 466 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: Harris breaks the tie. But to get it passed, there's 467 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 2: another trends. So there's four trillion dollars of spending because 468 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 2: we were short one vote in the US Senate. And 469 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 2: then you've got other horrible nominations. Thinking about these judges 470 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 2: and cabinet officials, we lost by one. So this is 471 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: what's at stake, and this is why you bring it 472 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 2: back to Michigan. You know, we win the state of Michigan. 473 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: Mike Rogers wins the Senate race in Michigan. We've won 474 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 2: back the United States Senate. You know, voters look for 475 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 2: shortcuts in the confusing, you know, all the issues out there. 476 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 2: Let me give the voters of Michigan a clear shortcut 477 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 2: to understand that how important your state is. Mike Rogers 478 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 2: wins Michigan. The gavel is no longer in Chuck Schumer's hands. 479 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 2: That's clear because we're going to win West Virginia. We're 480 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 2: way ahead there. That race is over. We need to 481 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 2: pick up one more state. Let's pick up Michigan. 482 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: All right, Michigan, let's do it. We got to do this. 483 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Senator Steve Danes. We appreciate you 484 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: being here because this was a great history lesson and 485 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: a great lesson on what the future could be if 486 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: we do what we need to do. So I appreciate it. 487 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: Thanks Tudor, and thank you all for joining us on 488 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast.
