1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I am so excited 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: that we have Speaker Mike Johnson with us today. Actually 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: with us usually we do this where we're kind of 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: in a different spot. So this is very exciting to me, 5 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: and it's very exciting to me because it's such an 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: unusual year. We have talked all about how this is 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: different than anything we've ever seen, but it was an 8 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: unusual year for you too. This is an unusual election season, 9 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: so you've taken a lot of grief over what's happening 10 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: in government in the House. How much does that change 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: with a Donald Trump presidency. 12 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 2: Oh, dramatically. I mean, this has been a challenging year. 13 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: I will make one year as Speaker October twenty fifth, 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: and in some ways it seems. 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 3: Like seven years. 16 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: It's been such a wild ride. As a joke, only 17 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 2: half jokingly, in Washington, I'm so tired of making history, 18 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: you know, I just want normal Congress again, But nobody 19 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: knows what that looks like anymore. So we're in uncharted waters, 20 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: unprecedented times as a nation, and what's required is the 21 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: steady hand at the wheel, principal leadership. You know, I 22 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,319 Speaker 2: still think of myself as a Reagan Republican, and we're 23 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 2: trying to hold fast to the principles that made us 24 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: the greatest nation in the history of the world. Donald 25 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: Trump is the leader now to do that. I'm absolutely 26 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: convinced he's going to win the selection. I believe we're 27 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 2: going to win the Senate, and we're going to win 28 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: grow the House majority, win the White House, the Senate, 29 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: in the House together, that'll give us a unified government. 30 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 2: So we're going to be in a totally different situation 31 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: than we have been for the last year or two years. 32 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: When you have unified government, we'll be able to actually 33 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: implement the policies and principles that we all believe in 34 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: and prefer and know are necessary to save the Republic. 35 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: Trump is ready to be aggressive, and we are as well. 36 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: So we have a very aggressive first one hundred days agenda, 37 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: and then we'll go right through that and beyond it, 38 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 2: and we'll turn this country around. We have the greatest 39 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: nation in the history of the world. We're just off 40 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: track right now. I think everybody understands that, and I 41 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: think that's why we're going to win in November. 42 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: Let me ask about principle, because that's something that when 43 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: you took this position as speaker, the resolve of a 44 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: sudden all this news about he's got a biblical worldview, 45 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: and that was suddenly a bad thing. And I think 46 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: for Christians it was shocking because suddenly we were being 47 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: painted as these corrupt, crazy like you're bringing in something 48 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: that is very, very negative, and that was shocking. But 49 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: now in the last week we've seen some pretty radical 50 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: behavior from the Democrats when it comes to religion, not 51 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: just skipping the Al Smith dinner, not just the Dorito 52 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: debacle here in Michigan with Gretchen Whitmer, but also just 53 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: recently we had Kamala Harris say to someone who yelled 54 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: out Jesus's Lord and her rally, this is not the 55 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: rally for you. We have talked multiple times about religious 56 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: liberties being at risk right now, what's it like from 57 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: your perspective, openly as a Christian talking about the Bible. 58 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: What do you think the plan is on their side? 59 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: I think these are very serious times. I was a 60 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: religious liberty defense lawyer for twenty years before I got 61 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: to Congress, so this is my area and we've been 62 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: seeing this develop over decades now, the gradual progress of 63 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: where the left has gone. This is not your father's 64 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: Democratic Party. They are now led by people who have 65 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: open disdain for the Judeo Christian principles that made our 66 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: nation and the admonitions of the framers themselves. I mean, 67 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: remember it was George Washington, our first president, who famously said, 68 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: when they asked how we can keep this republic, this 69 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: grand experiment and self governance, he said, well, in his 70 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: farewell address, of all the dispositions and habits which lead 71 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. And 72 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 2: then John Adams, our second president, comes next. He said 73 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: it even more plainly. He said, our constitution was made 74 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly 75 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: inadequate for the government's government of any. 76 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: Other which they would actually agree because they would they 77 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: would be the ones trying to throw the constitution away. 78 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: So that's the scary thing about. 79 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so, I mean the idea now though, that 80 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: you have leaders of the Democratic Party who have opened 81 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: disdain for the principles, even now for the expression of 82 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: religion and the public square for those who want to 83 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 2: live out their faith. I mean, this was essential to 84 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: who we are as a people. We're one nation under God, 85 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: you know, and we forget that, we do that at 86 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: our peril. If you walk into the House chamber you 87 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: see the admonition right above the speaker's rostrum. You know, 88 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: it's in God that we trust. And Reagan also said, 89 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 2: very very succinctly, if we forget there were one nation 90 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: under God, will be a nation gone under. We're in 91 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 2: a battle right now to preserve the basic principles that 92 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: are republic. You know, I talk a lot about what 93 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 2: I call the seven core principles of American conservatism because 94 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: people say, oh, you're a conservative, what are you trying 95 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: to conserve? Well, I'm glad you asked. It's things like 96 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: individual freedom, limited government, the rule of law, peace through strength, 97 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: fiscal responsibility, free markets, human dignity, secure borders. You know, 98 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: the things that made us who we are. They're in 99 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: jeopardy right now because the other party has open disdain 100 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: for those things. They envision for us, tutor, that we 101 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: would be something entirely different. They want us to be 102 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: some sort of European style, borderless socialist utopia, right and 103 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 2: we all know that's dangerous, fools, err And this election 104 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: cycle is not just ours versus dese. I mean it 105 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: is Republican Democrat, but it's deeper than that. It's about 106 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 2: a battle between two completely different visions and we understand 107 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: we've got to hold fast to who we are and 108 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 2: they're trying to change us. And that's what's on the ballot. 109 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: Well, I find it fascinating that they want this open border. 110 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: But then you see, we obviously have the Ukraine situation 111 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: where we're fighting on the border of Russia and Ukraine, 112 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: and you have Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania, who was almost 113 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: chosen as the vice presidential candidate on their side, signing 114 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: the bombs to protect that border. Yeah, when you see that, 115 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you reconcile that they will not 116 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: And they talk about this border bill. People don't even understand. 117 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: They had senators that voted against the border bill. But 118 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: also they had a letter come out from the ACLU 119 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: to their senator saying, do not vote for this border bill. 120 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: So it's not they say Donald Trump did this. It's 121 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: all a lie, it's all propaganda. But how does the 122 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: Democrat you said, it's not our father's Democrat party. How 123 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 1: does the Demo crup party the supposed anti war Party 124 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: reconcile having one of their governors sign bombs. 125 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 2: I don't think they can. That's part of the problem. 126 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: It's the reason that Kamala Harris and all the Democrats 127 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: all up and down the ballot running for Senate and 128 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 2: the House all over the country, they run campaigns based 129 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: on fantasy and not fact. I mean, they're terrified of 130 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: their record, the inconsistencies in the record, and how radical 131 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: it is, and so they're running campaigns on rhetoric instead. 132 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: And we've been going around the country. We have just 133 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 2: an extraordinary crop of candidates. We recruited the cycle to 134 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 2: flip blue seats to red. 135 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: All of our. 136 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 2: Incumbents in the House and the Senate are out saying 137 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 2: the same thing. Look, this election is about policy, not personality. 138 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: It's about record, not rhetoric. And you have to look 139 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 2: at what they've actually done, how they've delivered, and what 140 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: an abysmal failure it's been. I mean, the border is 141 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: the best example of that, you know, and it is 142 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 2: an absolute catastrophe. And they did it intentionally to itor 143 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 2: That's what's so really alarming about this. I mean, Biden 144 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: and Harris, the borders are and Mayorkis, who we impede 145 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: as the first sitting Cabinet secretary to be impeached in 146 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 2: US history. Desperate times, calling for desperate measures. They opened 147 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: the border wide, and they knew that it would be 148 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 2: a catastrophe. I mean they understood. They know as well 149 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: as we do. The fentanyl is the leading cause of 150 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 2: death for Americans aj T and TOW four five. 151 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: And they won't criticize China, which drives me crazy because 152 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: that's all coming from China. 153 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: Yes, and flowing the cartails, put it all together, manufacturer, 154 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: and they send it right over the border. The ingredients 155 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: come from China. They know that we have all these 156 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: dangerous people in the country. They know that trafficking is 157 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: this great scourge. They've lost the admit losing hundreds of 158 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: thousands of miners in the system that are now. 159 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: Think of how different the media is today from when 160 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was running and in twenty twenty when they said, oh, 161 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: he separated these kids. You've never heard that. Unless a 162 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: Republican talks about those children. 163 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 3: You never hear about it. And it shocks me. 164 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: That's why it is so important that we not only 165 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: get Donald Trump into the White House, but we have 166 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: to hold the house. More coming up with Speaker Mike Johnson, 167 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: but first I want to tell you about my partners 168 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: at IFCJ.

What seats are the most important? 193 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: Where do people need help? What can we do in 194 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: these last few weeks to push them through? 195 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: Great question. We're traveling NonStop around the country. I've done 196 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: events like we're doing here in Michigan today in two 197 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 2: hundred and I think thirty two cities now in forty states. Yeah, 198 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: but we spend a lot of time in the swing 199 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 2: districts and the tossub districts, and so you're looking at 200 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 2: California and New York that are going to help us 201 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 2: decide largely the majority in the House. 202 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 3: Isn't that funny? People don't believe that. 203 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: Right, right. They think that those states are just off 204 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: the map somehow. 205 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 3: But I actually I. 206 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: Was in North Carolina a few days ago and they said, 207 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: why do people keep going to California and New York, 208 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: and I say congressional seats. That's right, So tell us 209 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: who you're looking at there so people can help them. 210 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: Well. In those two states, I mean, we have districts 211 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: that Republicans won that Joe Biden won in the presidential 212 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: so they're d plus two or three or five or 213 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: ten seats, and we have conservatives in those seats because 214 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 2: they're so good at what they do. So in California, 215 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 2: the closest races right now are like Mike Garcia. I mean, 216 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 2: he's a former top gun pilot, exceptional legislator, a great conservative. 217 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: He's South La County where they have twenty nine percent 218 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: Republican registration. He's going to defy gravity and win again 219 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: because he's so good. And we've got guys like David 220 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: Valdeo out there and John Duarte and Michelle Steele and 221 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: Young Kim and they're in really tough, challenging divided districts, 222 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 2: but they're so good and so credible, and they're out 223 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: there presenting the answers to the great challenges facing the country. 224 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 2: They're doing it with such credibility that they can win 225 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 2: the day. And went over you go over to New York. 226 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: And we have a number of members who rode Lee 227 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: Zelden's coattails. 228 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: Race. 229 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: He helped us huge York and now they're up for 230 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,599 Speaker 2: their first reelect. So you've guys got guys like Mullinaro 231 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: and Lawler and l Loda and Brandon Williams up in 232 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: the upstate the country. I mean, they're going to decide 233 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: the majority because we've got to hold all those seats. 234 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: And then you have somebody like Elise an Esposito who's 235 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: running former NYPD a cop who's running for Congress, and 236 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: she knows the language, speaks to the people. 237 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 3: I've seen her interviewed. 238 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to be on the bad side of her. 239 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm glad she's on our team, right, I agree. Yeah, 240 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: we just got a really great crop of candidates. And 241 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: then in Michigan, you know, the reason we're here is 242 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: because Michigan is so critical to the outcome of the 243 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 2: whole election across the board, from the top of the 244 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 2: ticket on down. And we're out here today. We've got 245 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 2: Paul Young out here, and he can flip this open 246 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: seat and make it read again. And I mean that 247 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: kind of story is repeated all around the country. We 248 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: just feel very bullish about November. Look, I've been traveling NonStop. 249 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: I'm convinced that when the numbers are counted after this election, 250 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 2: what will prove out is that we had an historic 251 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: demographic shift in the electorate, that we had a record 252 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 2: number of Hispanic and Latino voters, and black and African 253 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 2: American voters, and Jewish voters, and union workers and people 254 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: that have not always traditionally been in our party in 255 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 2: large numbers. They are now because they believe in Donald 256 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 2: Trump and what he can deliver, and they believe in 257 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: the recipe that we're presenting to get us out of 258 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 2: this mess. 259 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: I think we're hearing in Michigan especially, and probably across 260 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: the country, we are hearing from auto workers who are 261 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: saying the mandates are killing us kill And it's funny 262 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: because I was actually talking to Will Caine on Fox 263 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: this morning and he made a really great comment, and 264 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: I have to credit him with this, because he said, 265 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: they are out there saying, I don't care what kind 266 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: of car you drive, and that's happening in Michigan. Alyssa 267 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: Slot kind of saying that Kamala Harris is saying, I 268 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: don't care what kind of car you drive, but remember 269 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: they're mandating it, so ultimately they don't care because they 270 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: know you'll have to drive an EV if they get 271 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: their way. 272 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: That is a perfect illustration of what we're talking about. 273 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 2: Its record over rhetoric. The rhetoric does not match what 274 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 2: they've actually done. The mandates are destroying the auto industry, 275 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 2: and no one wants that. I had a conversation with 276 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: a colleague in Congress who's one of the more infamous progressives, 277 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: and I said, I don't understand you. You want to 278 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: outlaw cars and trucks. Have you ever been to the South, 279 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 2: Like I'm Louisiana And I said, how are they supposed 280 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: to get the work? And this colleague looked at me, 281 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 2: not ingest and said, well, they just need to take 282 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 2: public transit. I said, my friend, that ain't a thing 283 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: where I'm from. Okay, we don't have public transit. There's 284 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: no subways in northwest Louisiana and there are no there's 285 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: sparsa bus coverage that there are no trains. We have 286 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: to drive our trucks. Like, what are you going to 287 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: tell all these people they're just going to sit at home? 288 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 3: How are you going to train. 289 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: I mean people that have never worked, they've never farmed, 290 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: they've never been in manufacturing. Like you don't move stuffy 291 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: in a bus, you don't carry it all with you. 292 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: They're totally detached from reality. I mean, they don't understand 293 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: what they're doing to the country. Some of them do, 294 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: most of them don't. And they're they're, you know, advancing 295 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 2: this ideology at the expense. 296 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 3: Of real people. 297 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: And the people have had enough to People are frustrated 298 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 2: and they know who's causing the problems, and they're ready 299 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: to move them out of their offices and put people 300 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: in charge that have common sense and we'll do the 301 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: right thing. And that's what we're offering. 302 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: Well in the state of Michigan, and I think this 303 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: is probably something similar in California and some of these. 304 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 3: Other states where the grid is just at the edge. 305 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: We are constantly, I know, California deals with blackouts. We've 306 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: had power out edges for weeks at a time in 307 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: the middle of winter. There is no logical answer to 308 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,359 Speaker 1: putting more on the grid right now. That is asinine, 309 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: It makes zero sense whatsoever. That's where I think we 310 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: could really prove out. These people don't care about you. 311 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: This is because donors want them to do this. This 312 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: is because this works out financially for them. I mean, 313 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: you've got even this radical clean agenda going into the 314 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: ocean that's not clean. 315 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 3: It's crazy. 316 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: And when you talk about conservatives and what do conservatives 317 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: conserve the environment too? 318 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: Well, sure, we've got to be good stewards of what 319 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 2: God gave us, and that's a central part of our belief. 320 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 2: But he also wants us to use use the natural 321 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: resources that we have, and fossil fuels is part of that. 322 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 2: Natural gas LNG look a FID. Natural gas is one 323 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 2: of the cleanest sources of energy available. And guess what 324 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 2: the Biden Harris administration did. They turned off the spickets. 325 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 2: Literally they paused the export of LNG. I've talked to 326 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: our European allies, our neighbors and friends. They're desperate for us. 327 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: How does that how does that affect the world? Because 328 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: I just to really quickly get to this. I know 329 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: that we've talked about, well, we need to get a 330 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: control Overroon and everything that's happened in Israel. But the 331 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: fact of the matter is that it can all be 332 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: managed here by doing by protecting our making sure we're 333 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: the leader. It's not just being energy independent, it's also 334 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: being a leader in energy. 335 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: Interjact dominant is Trump says, right, he's exactly right. We 336 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 2: achieved that in his administration, we were a net exporter 337 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 2: and we had stronger national security. Why because energy policy 338 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: is national security policy. It's all tied together. Because guess 339 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: what when our European allies is you know, when they 340 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: can't get LNG supplied from us, they've all turned their 341 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: spickets off because they follow They're further down the road 342 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: on the crazy green agenda than our colleagues here are 343 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: they to Those countries have to supply their energy needs 344 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: and they wind up going hat in hand to Russia 345 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: to get it, so it fuels Vladimir Putin's war machine. 346 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: And by the way, the gas that they're producing over 347 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: there is much dirtier product than what we have here. 348 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: It just is completely counterproduction. 349 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: And if we all live in the same world, then 350 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: that should ultimately matter, which I think is fascinating. But 351 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: I think the point that you're making is that national 352 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: security when it comes to energy is also world security, 353 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: and then that ultimately leads to peace. And again, I'll 354 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: say again Donald Trump was signing peace trees, the Democrats 355 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: sign bombs. There's a huge difference in our parties. And 356 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: ultimately that's why you got to go out and vote 357 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: this season. 358 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Everything is on the line right now. 359 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: You know, it's the most important election cycle of our lifetime. 360 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: That's not a bumper sticker slogan. Now everybody knows this 361 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: one is different. It's two completely different visions for who 362 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: are as a country, and we get to make that choice. 363 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 2: That's the beauty of our system. And so every single 364 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 2: person has to get out and vote. It doesn't matter 365 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 2: what state you're in. Every vote counts. As Trump says, 366 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 2: he told me last night, we got to make it 367 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: too big to rig. That's his thing. He's exactly right. 368 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 2: We got to make it too big to rig because 369 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: the other team, how many you know in your audience, 370 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 2: you know they cheat sometimes. Okay, So we have to 371 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 2: make sure that we send a decisive message. So every 372 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 2: one of us, all of our friends and family, everybody 373 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: at church, everybody involved, get everybody that polls. This one counts. 374 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: I know you get a lot of criticism, but you 375 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: just said the other night Trump said that to you. 376 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: You guys are on the same team. 377 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Undercent. I've spent Wednesday night with him at 378 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: Marie Lago, Thursday night with him at the Alae Smith dinner. 379 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: We talked constantly. We have a big job ahead of us, 380 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: and continuity of leadership in the House is going to 381 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 2: be really important in that. And President Trump knows that 382 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: I told him this, and I'll tell your audience I said, 383 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 2: miss President, what I say to him privately, I'll say publicly, Look, 384 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 2: you're going to get another term and you could be 385 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: the most consequential president of the modern era, because, Sir, 386 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: we have to fix everything right, and it's going to 387 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 2: be policy and agenda driven, going to rely upon sound, 388 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 2: steady leadership in the Senate and the House, and we're 389 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: working with our Senate colleagues. This will be by cameral 390 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 2: and with Trump's leadership. I'm absolutely convinced, Tutor that we 391 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 2: can fix this and God's going to give our country 392 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 2: another chance and we're going to get it done. 393 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 3: We appreciate you. 394 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on today, Speaker Johnson.
