1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. We are going to 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: jump right in today because we have Senator Marsha Blackburn 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: from the beautiful state of Tennessee with us today. Senator, 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: thank you for joining me. 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: Always delighted to join you. Thank you well. 6 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you're here because we have a lot 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: of questions about the Majorcus impeachment trial not happening. We 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: were hoping to see this in the Senate. Explain to 9 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: us from behind the scenes what happened there. 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, Chuck Schumer decided he was going to defy 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 3: the Constitution. And it's not just a defying tradition, but 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 3: it is defying the Constitution in his opinion of what 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 3: Majorcus has done with allowing people to run across that border, 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 3: people from one hundred and seventy different countries, with making 15 00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: certain that he was reducing immigration law requirements, with coming 16 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 3: to Congress and saying the border is secure over and 17 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 3: over and over when he knew it was not. While 18 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer decided on his own that we didn't need 19 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: to have a trial because it was just a policy disagreement, 20 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 3: and of course every single Democrat senator sat in their seats. 21 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: No one challenged him. 22 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: And they all voted to defy the Constitution and to 23 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 3: dismiss the impeachment charges. And if your audience were to 24 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: go to Article one, Section two of the Constitution, it 25 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: lays out the responsibility of the US House in terms 26 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 3: of impeachment. If they read section three, Article one, Section three, 27 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: they would see the requirement on the Senate. 28 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: Well, Chuck Schimer knows this. He said this in twenty nineteen, 29 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: that it was his constitutional duty to carry out an 30 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: impeachment trial against Donald Trump. So does how is he 31 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: not getting some sort of reprimand or something. 32 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: How does this happen? 33 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: Well, he should And I actually had my posters on 34 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 3: the floor last night showing where he had said that, tutor, 35 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: because he talked about our responsibility to bring the facts out, 36 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 3: He talked about the constitutional duty all in twenty nineteen 37 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: and twenty twenty in reference to Donald Trump. But now 38 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: he's decided that the people don't need to know that. 39 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: And here's the deal. He knows that the. 40 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: Number one issue with the American people this election cycle 41 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 3: is that open border. YEP. The reason it is an 42 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 3: issue is because every town's a border town, every state 43 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: a border state because people are living it. 44 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: They see the. 45 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,279 Speaker 3: Destruction and the way fentanyl is wreaking havoc on families. 46 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 3: They see what gangs are doing in towns and communities 47 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: that have never had a gag. They see the impact 48 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: of human trafficking and labor crews that are made up 49 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 3: of kids. They are seeing what's happening with sex trafficking 50 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: of women and kids because their churches are involved in 51 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: protecting these women and kids and doing these rescues. So 52 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: the American people are living the effects of that open border. 53 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 3: They wanted us to take majorchestra trial. They wanted to 54 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 3: get the facts out. And now what did the Democrats do? 55 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: Don't believe what your eyes are showing. You don't believe 56 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 3: that he's not guilty, and so they dismissed it as 57 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: a policy difference. 58 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: Well, and my theory is they didn't want to be 59 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: going through this trial because this is constant in the 60 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: news every day. Then people would have to know and 61 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: the stories that you're talking about. We had the Oakland 62 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: County Sheriff from Michigan on the podcast just a few 63 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: days ago, and he talked about these Chilean gangs that 64 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: are going through our suburbs here. This is not like, 65 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: these are not gangs like you think of in a 66 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: city where they're not going to touch your life. And 67 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: I hate to say that, but a lot of people 68 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: are like, Oh, that's not going to happen to me. 69 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: These are people coming, he said, highly trained, they're skilled, 70 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: like special ops groups coming into the country, going through 71 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: suburban communities and robbing houses and jewelry stores. And do 72 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: you know that when we put that episode out there, 73 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: I had so many This was shocking me. I had 74 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: so many people say, this is such a lie, This 75 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: is not happening. This is coming from a sheriff in 76 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: our state. And yet because the Democrats have been so 77 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: controlling of the media, people don't believe it. 78 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 3: And Tutor, the Chilean gangs they're in Tennessee, and you're right. 79 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: They case houses, they go in and they are very skilled, 80 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 3: they're very fast, and they're gone before police can get there. 81 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: And then you have the violent gangs out of Venezuela, 82 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: the Trendagua gangs, and they are going into communities and 83 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 3: they are conducting robberies, car thefts, carjackings, very skilled. It 84 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: was a Trendagua Venezuelan who had, by the way, been 85 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 3: granted parole that special status by Joe Biden that killed 86 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 3: lacoln Riley. And we are. 87 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 2: Seeing these effects of. 88 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: Crime, and people are living this, and people are beginning 89 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 3: to wake up. And yes, you do still have people 90 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: that are trying to deny this and say it is 91 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 3: not happening. Happening, but under Joe Biden, our country is 92 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 3: less safe under Joe Biden, Our country is less under 93 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: Joe Biden. The American people are more fearful, and under 94 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: Joe Biden, the American people are more distrustful of their 95 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 3: government institutions. 96 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: You brought up lakeln Riley, and recently we had a 97 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: similar situation here in Michigan in grun Rapids, Michigan with 98 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: Ruby Garcia, who was shot by a man who was 99 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant and she was dating him. And the 100 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: funny thing about this to me was the Democrats twisted 101 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: this as this is not an illegal immigration problem, this 102 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: was a domestic violence problem. And I see this as 103 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: even more dangerous because here's a woman who probably didn't 104 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: even know he was illegal. 105 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 2: We don't know these. 106 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: People are in the country legally or what crimes they've committed. 107 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: Because the people who are supposed to be keeping us 108 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: safe from repeat offenders, from criminals, and people who are 109 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: coming in across the border illegally are not keeping us safe. 110 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: So to me, it's not a domestic violence situation. It's 111 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: a double whammy violence and somebody who broke the law 112 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: to get here, and we weren't protected by Joe Biden. 113 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: How many more people's daughters have to go through this 114 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: and how do how many of us who have daughters 115 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: have to wonder if there's a guy coming into their 116 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: lives who's committed all kinds of crimes and the government said, 117 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: because he's illegal, we're going to look the other way. 118 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: Because that's what I think is happening. They are getting 119 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: away with it because they're illegal. 120 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: Well, you're right about that. And think about this. 121 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: If you were coming across that border, if you were 122 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 3: a US citizen and walked across the southern border, you 123 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 3: would be put into jail. If you were here on 124 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 3: a visa and you committed a crime, you would be 125 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 3: deported immediately. But those that are in the country illegally 126 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: are given that special protective status. And this is one 127 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: of the reasons that Majorcus needed to be impeached and 128 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: all of this information needed to come out. Now, I 129 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 3: have filed a bill, the Clear Act. The Clear Act 130 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 3: would require local law enforcement when they apprehend someone for 131 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: any kind of crime, it could be a hit and run, 132 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: a fender vendor, whatever do youI When they apprehend a 133 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: person and they find out that person is illegally in 134 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 3: the country, they can detain that individual, go ahead, do 135 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 3: their penalties or prosecution, call ICE and say, hey, we 136 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: have this illegalalien here and you have to come pick 137 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 3: them up within forty eight hours, deport them, and you 138 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 3: have to pay us back for the money that we 139 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 3: have spent on apprehending, detaining, prosecuting, or penalizing this person. 140 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: But it would require those illegal criminal illegal aliens to 141 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 3: be deported now. Also, it would deny federal law enforcement 142 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 3: funds to cities that are not going to comply with 143 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 3: immigration law. 144 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 145 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: a Tutor Dixon podcast. We've had an issue in the 146 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: state of Michigan where our governor has called to abolish ICE. 147 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: She has come out with a program where you get 148 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars a month if you take a migrant 149 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: into your home. We have a congresswoman here who has 150 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: worked as an immigration lawyer in the past, and she 151 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: has defended people who a woman, one of whom was 152 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: a pedophile, and defended her and kept her in the 153 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: country because she said the punishment in another country would 154 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: be cruel and unusual. And so now we have a 155 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: pedophile in our country. This is happening in the state 156 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: of Michigan. Now, my question to you is, if you 157 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: are a governor and you are breaking federal law because 158 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: she's taking taxpayer dollars and aiding and abetting these people, 159 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: is there no way to then have some sort of 160 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: some sort of punishment for that tutor. 161 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: We're going to have to have a doj that will 162 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 3: go after this. To break the law is breaking the law. 163 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 3: And this is what you saw Majorcus and Biden do 164 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 3: on the southern border. 165 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: They have intentionally chosen to. 166 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 3: Break the law and they have had no one go 167 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 3: after them. But look what Joe Biden has done. Look 168 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: at the issue around student loans. He basically said he 169 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 3: didn't care if the Supreme Court told him he couldn't 170 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 3: do it. 171 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: He was going to do it anyway. 172 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 3: You know, you look at the Dhaka program for kids 173 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 3: that have been brought across the border. Obama said he 174 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: knew it was unconstitutional. The court struck him down, and 175 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 3: he said, I'm going to do it anyway. That blatant 176 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 3: disregard for that law. The two tiers of justice that 177 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 3: we see. The American people are sick of this, and 178 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 3: it is one of the reasons that you see more 179 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 3: independent voters, you see more Democrats that are saying, I've 180 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: had it with this. I'm going to vote for Donald Trump. 181 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: I'm going to vote for Republicans. Because every town's a 182 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: border town, every state of border state, and as I said, 183 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 3: people are living the effects of illegal immigration every single day. 184 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: You brought up him going against the Supreme Court, Joe Biden, 185 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: it made me think of something that's happening here in 186 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: the state of Michigan. We have an attorney general who 187 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: is trying to shut down a pipeline. The federal government 188 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: has said, hey, this affects a treaty with Canada, you can't. 189 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: But the really twisted part about this is that she 190 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: has filed a lawsuit. 191 00:11:59,440 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 3: She won. 192 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: Now it's gone back to the federal government and they're 193 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: fighting it because she is going to take all of 194 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: the ability to have any type of energy in the 195 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: upper Peninsula of Michigan away from them, but that they 196 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: don't care. They don't care about the realities. They don't 197 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: care about people's safety. And to be honest, heat is safety, 198 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: when energy is safety, and people don't understand secure energy 199 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: security is a real issue in this country. 200 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: Right it is. 201 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 3: Indeed, and I sometimes say the security moms are back 202 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: in full force for this selection cycle. They are looking 203 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 3: at that border and border security. They're looking at energy 204 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 3: security because they know that the price of gas is 205 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 3: up over fifty. 206 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: Percent when they don't fill up the tank. They know 207 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: that every item they buy at. 208 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 3: The grocery store costs more because where do all your 209 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 3: plastic bottles and packaging come from. They are products that 210 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 3: come from hydrocarbons. 211 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: And such a good point. Of course, it's going to 212 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: cost more. 213 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 3: Why is it the tennis shoes for the kids, running 214 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 3: shoes for the kids costs more. It is because of 215 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 3: the synthetics that are in that, and all of it 216 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 3: comes from hydrocarbons. So the silly people that are just 217 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: head in the sand when it comes to energy and think, oh, 218 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: we don't need oil, Oh we don't need gas, Oh 219 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: we can just do it with solar and with wind. 220 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 3: They are just not thinking now the utilization of oil 221 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 3: and gas and how it affects every single sector of 222 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 3: our economy and actually every component of our day from 223 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 3: the time we wake up in the morning and flip 224 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 3: the switch to turn on the light the lights, and 225 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 3: that electricity is costing us about forty percent more. It 226 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 3: would cost us less if we were using clean coal, 227 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: if we were using natural gas and not trying to 228 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 3: do so much with wind and solar. Hard to get 229 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: a megawat of heat generated by solar in Tennessee, you know. 230 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 3: And when you look at that electricity, it's hard to 231 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: get that megawatt with that solar front farm. We don't 232 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: have enough heat units today, only one part of our state. 233 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 3: We don't have enough wind to get a megawat of 234 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 3: energy out of wind. So you cannot be so prescriptive 235 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: that your economy cannot run and your people cannot be safe. 236 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 3: So energy security, you bet, that's an issue. Border security, absolutely, 237 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 3: economic security. Women are talking about these things. Security moms 238 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 3: their thing. 239 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: When you talk about security moms. I want to bring 240 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: up something because I saw this happening this week where 241 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: we had people who were trapped on the Golden gate 242 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: Bridge because we've got these protesters out there. And as 243 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: a mom myself, all I could think is what if 244 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: my kids are at school and I can't get to them. 245 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: What if my kids have an emergency and I can't 246 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: get to them. I mean, think about all of the 247 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: people who are trying to go to a hospital or anything. 248 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: There's so many crises that could be happening, and you 249 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: have people, these protesters, these pro Hamas protesters on the 250 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: Golden gate Bridge. You had them blocking the airport to 251 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: ohair You had people getting out of their cars and 252 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: walking to O'Hare Airport on the highway. 253 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: Because they're blocking the highway. 254 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: You've introduced a new bill that would prevent people from 255 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: being able to block access on highways like that, on 256 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: major roadways. I didn't even know. 257 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: This was legal. 258 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: We have many different local laws that affect this. You know, 259 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: most cities have laws, and if you want to have 260 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 3: a parade or carry out a protest, you go to 261 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 3: city hall and you get a permit, and then you 262 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 3: protest on a plaza in a park or a parade 263 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 3: in the streets at a given designated time. That is 264 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 3: generally how it happens, and that's a good thing because 265 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 3: that is a free speech issue. What is not free speech, 266 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: but what is endangering the public is groups that begin 267 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 3: to race across highways. They're jumping in the middle of highways. 268 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 3: They're blocking traffic, and they're blocking airports and bus stations, 269 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 3: they're blocking train terminals, they're preventing people from getting to work. 270 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 3: They're cutting off traffic at the bridge, and then they're 271 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: taking that over. And that is why Senator Tillis and 272 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 3: I have the Safe and Open Street Sack, which would 273 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: make it a penalty and a federal penalty and up 274 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 3: to five years in prison for people that carry out 275 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 3: these protests in ways that are endangering the public. 276 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: Well, I think that that's I'm glad you pointed that 277 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: out because I think a lot of people go, well, 278 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: wait a minute, you have this right. This is a 279 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: First Amendment right. You can go out and protest however 280 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: you want. But this is where people are wondering, well, 281 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: what can we do? Because I've seen this all over 282 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: Twitter and everything else. All these people that are asking well, 283 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: what can we do when someone does this? Are you 284 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: allowed to pull them out. 285 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: Of the street? 286 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: Can they be arrested, and there's been this up in 287 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: the air question about it. So I appreciate the fact 288 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: that you're explaining this to us, and also that you're 289 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: putting this act out there, because sure, it's devastating. I mean, 290 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: it hurts everything. It hurts commerce, it hurts trade, air, 291 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: it hurts people's families. It's crazy. 292 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 2: It is so out of control. 293 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: And the fact that they would jump in the middle 294 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 3: of the street and then impede transit, endanger the public. 295 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 2: This is just so wrong. 296 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 3: And putting a federal penalty on the books for doing 297 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 3: this is appropriate, and I'll look forward to moving the legislation. 298 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 299 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: a Tutor Dixon podcast. Last thing I want to bring 300 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: up is I know you are pushing to defund NPR 301 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: after the whistleblower came out and said, hey, we don't 302 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: actually have any dispute here. We don't have any discussion. 303 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: There is no difference of opinion. Everybody is a democrat. 304 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: I looked at all of their registrations and then he 305 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: gets suspended and he ultimately resigned, but he got suspended 306 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: for calling that out from a radio program that we 307 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: fund as the American people. 308 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 3: Yes, And when you look at NPR and these public 309 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 3: TV stations, what we know is that their structure is under. 310 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: A not for profit. 311 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 3: In addition to that, TUTOR most of them have endowments 312 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 3: or foundations that support them and allow them to do 313 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 3: the extras if you will. But I started on this 314 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 3: several years ago, and I think we should move in 315 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 3: PR into a position where they're reliant on their not 316 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 3: for profit status and we do the licensing. But the 317 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 3: American people ought not to be paying for something that 318 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 3: gives you only one side of the story. Our nation 319 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 3: and our freedom has been well preserved by having robust, 320 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 3: respectful bipartisan debate, nique that point and the counterpoint in 321 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 3: order for people to know what the issue is and 322 00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:00,239 Speaker 3: what the universe of discussion around that issue is. So 323 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 3: to say, no, we're only going to give you one 324 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 3: side of the story. That is not information for the 325 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 3: American people. 326 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 2: That is propaganda, state run media. 327 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: It really is. We appreciate everything you do for us. 328 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure having you on.
