1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 2: You all know that every day we talk about what's 3 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 2: going on in government, and lately we've been talking a 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 2: lot or you've been seen in the news a lot 5 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 2: this stuff about government waste, government spending. 6 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: You've seen the doge being created in Washington, d c. 7 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: Elon Musk, you have viveg Ramaswami, all of these guys 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: who are saying we've got to take back our government. 9 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: And this is really the MAGA effect. I think it's 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: very interesting because if you look at the way the 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 2: Republican Party used to operate as compared to today, I 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 2: think that you had even four years ago, Democrats and 13 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: the mainstream media saying the Democrat or the Republican Party 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: is in shambles. Nobody knows what the definition of the 15 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: Republican Party is anymore, that Donald Trump's Republican Party is 16 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: different than the traditional Republican Party. 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: And now I would say, after the selection. 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 2: We see a lot of strength in what MAGA is, 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: and MAGA is going into other states and it is 20 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party that is in total shambles. And so 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: I wanted to bring one of my friends on today. 22 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 2: He is the Speaker elect in the state of Michigan. 23 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: His name is Matt Hall, and I have been so 24 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: impressed by him being kind of like the doge of 25 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: Michigan already because he's gone in and said, we're not 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: going to allow this. MEGA is going to come to 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: Michigan and going to be strong here, and we are 28 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: going to bring this Republican party into the light and 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: people are going to see what it means to be 30 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: the party of the people. So Matt Hall, thank you 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: so much for being not today. 32 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for having me tutor. 33 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think a lot of this starts with what 34 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: we're seeing right now in Michigan with corporate welfare, and 35 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: this has come into the limelight recently because GM has 36 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: said they're going to demolish part of their headquarters in Detroit, Michigan. 37 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: I think that it's very interesting on the national scale 38 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: right now because we just came out of an election 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: where I really believe that ev vehicles was a major 40 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: factor in Donald Trump's win and the change in the 41 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: force change by government for these automotive companies to say 42 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: we have to change how we're making cars. They've lost money, however, 43 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: they're still profiting, and now we see the situation where 44 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: they're going out and they're saying, we want money to 45 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: demolish the building in Detroit, and they've always kind of 46 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 2: had all the legislators say sure, whatever you want. But 47 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: you're pushing back on that a little bit. So explain 48 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: that to us. 49 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 3: Sure, And you and I attended a lot of the 50 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: Trump rallies across Michigan together, and you're correct. You know, 51 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 3: one of the messages from President Trump, and he did 52 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: better with auto workers than he even did in twenty 53 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: sixteen or any Republican has ever done in Michigan, and 54 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 3: his message was I'm going to fight for you, and 55 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 3: we're going to end these electric vehicle mandates. And you 56 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: look at Michigan states like Michigan. We did research on this. 57 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: The amount of suppliers that are needed for these electric 58 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 3: vehicles is way smaller than the internal combustion engine. And 59 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 3: so the internal combustion engine is good for Michigan because 60 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 3: we will keep all those thousands of suppliers in more 61 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: manufacturing jobs. The fact that Democrats like Whitmer and Biden 62 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 3: have been using billions of our tax dollars to accelerate 63 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: that and the decline of the internal combustion engine is 64 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 3: we'll study it as one of the dumbest economic moves 65 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: that has ever been done to destroy manufacturing in America 66 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 3: and in Michigan. But to answer your question, we look 67 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 3: at President Trump coming into office. I saw today an 68 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 3: article in the Detroit Free Press that Delantis is saying, 69 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: you know what, maybe because of these tariffs, we're going 70 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: to come back to Michigan and to the United States 71 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: and we're going to build domestically. Again. That's exactly why 72 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 3: we believe in the tariffs is we want to see 73 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: the US auto workers have jobs and we want to 74 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 3: see cars made in America. President Trump promised us that 75 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: that's what he was going to do, and it's already working. 76 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 3: But you look at GM here. GM still hasn't gotten 77 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: it yet. And in Michigan, GM is saying, you know, 78 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: we want two hundred and fifty million dollars from the 79 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: taxpayers to tear down the Renaissance Center, which is sort 80 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 3: of the iconic building on the Detroit Skyline right on 81 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: the Detroit River. It's been GM's headquarters for decades. And 82 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 3: they said, we're moving out of Detroit and we want 83 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: you to pay to tear down the building and redevelop it. 84 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: And the next week they laid off one thousand workers, 85 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 3: most of which in Warren, Michigan. And then just the 86 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: other day they came out and said there's a two 87 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 3: electric battery plants in Michigan, one in Lansing. They got 88 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: over two hundred million dollars from the taxpayers to open 89 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: that plant. They announced, we're selling our interest in that 90 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 3: plant and we're keeping the money from the taxpayers, and 91 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: Korean company LG is taking it over. And if they 92 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: don't perform, then you know, you can come to us 93 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 3: and in twenty thirty one, if they don't have the 94 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: jobs we promised, and come after us and we'll give 95 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: you the money back. But these are the type of 96 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 3: things that GM is doing, and I'm just saying, you know, 97 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 3: enough is enough. People don't want the big corporations to 98 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 3: benefit over the workers anymore. And it's the Republican Party 99 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: leaders Mike myself and you, Tutor, who are standing up 100 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: for the workers. The Democrat Party is siding with the 101 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 3: corporations and they're very silent on these matters. 102 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: Well, I think that you make a great point with that, 103 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: because this is something that I talked about in my campaign, 104 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: and I'd like us to continue talking about and I 105 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: want to bring it to a national level because I 106 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 2: think that you know, we have a lot of people 107 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: listening that outside of Michigan, but this is how it happens, 108 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: so that you understand when you are voting, when you're 109 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: going to the ballot box, the people behind the scenes 110 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 2: are actually doing because there's so much corruption and fraud 111 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 2: and waste inside of government. No matter whether it is 112 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: vivek Ramaswami that is going to get it out of there, 113 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 2: or Matt Hall or whoever is in your state, you 114 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: have to understand how this happens. And I want to 115 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 2: kind of break into the Renaissance Center situation here in 116 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: Michigan because I think this is kind of it sort 117 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: of outlines how it happens across the country. 118 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: So if you look at Detroit, you've got a mayor 119 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: who has been very. 120 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: Heavily involved in the elites of Detroit. Now over the 121 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: last i don't know, a couple of decades, we've heard 122 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: about the comeback of Detroit. The problem is that if 123 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: you break it down, the poor folks in Detroit have 124 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: gotten poorer under a Mike dug and the rich have. 125 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: Gotten way richer. 126 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 2: So you have this great divide, which is how you 127 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: end up with Detroit being the second most violent city 128 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: in the country. 129 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: And that has got to change. 130 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: And that is where I think the Republicans will come 131 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: in and say, we want to really truly build Detroit 132 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: back for everybody, not just for the rich. But you've 133 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: got a situation right now where you have the twenty 134 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: seventh richest man on the Forbes List, Dan Gilbert, saying 135 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: I'm going to rebuild the Renaissance Center, but to do so, 136 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: I have to destroy two of the towers. 137 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: I have to take down two of the towers. 138 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: So you guys might be saying, okay, well, what's wrong 139 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: with a billionaire coming in and saying this, Well, this 140 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: man has benefited from corporate welfare after corporate welfare scheme 141 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: in the city of Detroit. Like I said, you've got 142 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: that imbalance of very rich, very poor, lots of crime. 143 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 2: It is a huge problem. 144 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: Now. 145 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: The latest is that he's going to come and say 146 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: he wants this two hundred and fifty million dollars because 147 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 2: he wants it to be name to brownfield sites. If 148 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: you don't know what a brownfield site is, you get 149 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: a bunch of tax advantages in a branch at a 150 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: brownfield site, which is designated because the site has had 151 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: a previous development that has had some type of contamination. 152 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: So generally a factory. 153 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: Now I know this having been a former factory owner, 154 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: you end up getting a brownfield site because you have 155 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: to clean up that site for the life of the 156 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: time you own the site. You're paying to constantly clean 157 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: it up. You have to have a special environmental person. 158 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 2: The funny thing about that is the little guys they 159 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: don't get granted the brownfield sites. This is not a 160 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: brownfield site, Matt. But this is the loophole for the rich, 161 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 2: I believe, and this is how they get it. So 162 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 2: how do we have oversight over these things? 163 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great summary. So you mentioned adulte Committee 164 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: and the work that's being done at the federal level, 165 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 3: and I listened to a presentation yesterday that New Gingrich 166 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: gave in front of a bunch of state led just 167 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 3: across the country. And what he's suggesting, and I agree 168 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: with him, is we need to take these efforts to 169 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: the state levels, and how do we bring entrepreneurship and 170 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 3: and innovative thinking to the state levels. So one thing 171 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 3: that I'm really considering as we take over the Michigan 172 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: House next year. Michigan House was the only chamber in 173 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 3: the country that flipped from Democrat to Republican in this 174 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 3: last election. You know, let's embrace this. Let's create something 175 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 3: similar in the state House that brings in entrepreneurs and 176 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 3: brings in innovative thinkers so we can come in and 177 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 3: demand results from government again and to find the efficiency. 178 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 3: So that's something you know, looking ahead that I think 179 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 3: we're going to bring to Michigan, and I hope that 180 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: other states embrace the same ideas that we're seeing at 181 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 3: the federal level. I just say, to answer your question, 182 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 3: you know, we're I'll say, what's happening here and what's 183 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 3: not being talked about is the consequence of these decisions. 184 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 3: So what you're seeing in states like Michigan is over 185 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: the last couple of years, I think since twenty twenty one, 186 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 3: we've given two point one billion dollars out of our 187 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 3: you know, now it's about an eighty billion dollar budget 188 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 3: to corporations on projects that have not resulted in great 189 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: job creation. Okay, they were not doing what they were promised. 190 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 3: We're now about two billion dollars short on roads, on 191 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 3: what we need to do to fund our roads in Michigan, 192 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 3: and now we're looking at how do we find two 193 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 3: billion dollars a year to fix roads in Michigan. And 194 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: so my point is the money we're giving to these 195 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: few elites is coming at the price of everyone in 196 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 3: the state in terms of roads, in terms schools and 197 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 3: everything else that we all benefit from. And so you know, 198 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: we have to move backwards from where we are where Whitmer, 199 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 3: Governor Whitmer and Michigan is saying, I'm going to have 200 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 3: bad regulation policy, I'm going to have high taxes, I'm 201 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 3: going to make it as expensive as possible to do 202 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: business in Michigan, and then I'm going to pick certain 203 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 3: elites that we're going to buy them down by paying 204 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 3: them billions of dollars to come to the state, and 205 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 3: we're going to pick them. That's not the way an 206 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 3: economy should be run. If we can make the economy 207 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 3: something where everyone wants to come to Michigan because we 208 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 3: have good regulatory policy, good good tax policy, good roads, 209 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 3: a great skilled workforce, there'd be so many innovative entrepreneur 210 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 3: ideas that will come out that we never could have 211 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: centrally planned as government representatives. That's the kind of Michigan 212 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 3: that I want to see. And because there's a Republican 213 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 3: House in Michigan, that's what we're going to fight for. 214 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: More coming up with Speaker Elect Matt Hall, but first 215 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: I want to tell you about my partners at IFCJ, 216 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 2: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, wishes you a 217 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: blessed beginning of the holiday season as you gather with 218 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 2: your friends and family, grateful for all the blessings God 219 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: has given to all of us, Let's also remember those 220 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: who are facing unbelievable harmship in need of food, fellowship, 221 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 2: and hope. 222 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: That includes the people of. 223 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 2: Israel, who are threatened daily by attacks from enemies on 224 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: all sides, and during these hard times, Israelis are thankful 225 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 2: to the Fellowship for food and basic assistance, truly life 226 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: saving aid when it seems like the rest of the 227 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: world has turned their backs on them. Your gift of 228 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: twenty five dollars will help provide food to an elderly 229 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: Jew or Jewish family who's suffering an in desperate need. 230 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: A gift of one hundred dollars can provide four of 231 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: these life saving food boxes this holiday season. Please consider 232 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: standing with Israel and the wish people go to support 233 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: IFCJ dot org to make a gift right now that 234 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: support IFCJ dot org, or you can call and give 235 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: at eight eight eight four eight eight if CJ again, 236 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: that's eight eight eight four eight eight four three two five. 237 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 2: Stay tuned. We've got more after this. So here's a 238 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 2: few ideas. I mean, first of all, full disclosure, I 239 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 2: love GM. I have a Chevy Tahoe that I think 240 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: is the best car I've ever owned. I think that 241 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: they make a great product. I love the product that 242 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: they have historically made, the product that is a gas 243 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: powered vehicle, the product that has an infrastructure to support it, 244 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 2: and that right now can Michigan is in such dire 245 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: straits that it cannot fall on Michigan to say, oh, 246 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: we're going to try to figure out how to not 247 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 2: only make EV vehicles but then also support them with 248 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 2: an infrastructure, because we need a whole a rehaul of 249 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: our entire grid, and that cannot be just to support 250 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: EV vehicles. That has to be to support manufacturing. That's 251 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 2: what we do. That's our history. And another idea is 252 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: when you talk when we talk about these brownfield sites, 253 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: you talk about innovators, you talk about entrepreneurs. Those are 254 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 2: the people that I think that was intended for originally, 255 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: those entrepreneurs, and also so that we could get these 256 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: sites back up and running, get more manufacturing going. I 257 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: would go back and review who has been denied. I 258 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: mean we were denied. I know multiple other small manufacturers 259 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: who would have grown were denied that while it went 260 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: to the folks that were making massive profits. And so 261 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: I think there is opportunity, even within our own history, 262 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: to go back and say, these are the places that 263 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: they will expand they will have more jobs they do. 264 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: This is what this was designed for. And I think 265 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity. 266 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: But you brought up roads, So I want to talk 267 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 2: about that because Governor Whitmer ran on roads, and this 268 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 2: is to me, this is also the manipulation of the Democrats. 269 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: They run on something that is obsolete, they have no plan, 270 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: they're never held accountable because not obsolete, something that is 271 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: obscure that they're never held accountable for, and the media 272 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: doesn't go after them and say, oh. 273 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, how well you fix the roads? 274 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: If you every year give I mean from I think 275 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: it was twoenty to twenty twenty four, the state of 276 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 2: Michigan has given almost twenty three billion dollars to the 277 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: automotive industry. Just hand it over twenty three billion. Think 278 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 2: of our roads, Think of the other industries that we 279 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: could bring in, and the irresponsibility of that, because as 280 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 2: we see this state right now that is barely hanging 281 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: on in massive population decline, struggling financially, the people of 282 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: Detroit struggling more than any other city in the United 283 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 2: States with inflation. We go back and say, man, that 284 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: nearly twenty three billion dollars could have created an infrastructure 285 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: that would have brought a massive amount of businesses here. 286 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 2: Not just roads, not just bridges, but we're talking about 287 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: that energy infrastructure as well, that would bring massive data centers, 288 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 2: tech centers, all of those things that are the future, 289 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 2: that can be the future here in Michigan. 290 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: We know how to do it. 291 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: We have tech centers, We have massive tech centers for 292 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: the Big three, the automotive industry here. That can be 293 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 2: the future of Michigan, but the infrastructure has to be there. 294 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: So came up with this phenomenal plan of three billion 295 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 2: dollars for road funding. And this is local, that's everybody. 296 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: The roads we drive every day are the worst you 297 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: will see all from October to May in this state. 298 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: You will see people posting pictures of their destroyed tires. 299 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: It is just a given we're going to hit potholes. 300 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: There's nobody coming to our rescue. I mean, you go 301 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 2: to Miskegan Heights near me and you could live inside 302 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: of a pothole there. It's so depressing, it's so sad, 303 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: it's just devastating. So you came up with a brilliant 304 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: plan of three billion dollars to put into roads. Gretchen 305 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 2: Whitmer never had a play. She came out and she 306 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: said she wanted to raise the taxes, which is always 307 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: the Democrats. We're not going to raise taxes. Oh wait, 308 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 2: we're going to give money to our buddies and then 309 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,719 Speaker 2: raise your taxes to try to do the things that 310 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 2: are key. 311 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: So your point is do those things. 312 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 2: If you have something left over it you can have 313 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: the cricket field in Oakland County. 314 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: But right now we have to have the basics. 315 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 2: Government should supply the basics, which road funding should be 316 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: one of the basics. You came out and said, we 317 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 2: don't want to raise taxes. She got shot down on that. 318 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 2: She's been in office for we're going to go on 319 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: seven years now, and she's never fixed one road. The 320 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: roads have gotten way worse under Gretchen Whitmer. So you 321 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 2: came up with this plan. I think it was today 322 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 2: that she came out and she said, oh, we are 323 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 2: going to It's like a press release that was listed 324 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: Gretchen Whitmer has designated funding to the roads. It's less 325 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: than one percent of the funding that you came out with, 326 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 2: but it's sounds great. I mean, this is the blogey 327 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: of their party. They put a great headline out there 328 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 2: and the media will run with it. It's two point 329 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: nine million compared to three billion. What's your response to that? 330 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 3: Well, you're right, I mean Whitmer ran and won the 331 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 3: election to become Michigan's governor. On fixing the roads, she 332 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 3: turned around. She proposed a massive tax increase. It was 333 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 3: so big now one legislative Democrat had the guts to 334 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 3: actually introduce it. Then for six years she turned around 335 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 3: and blamed Republicans and borrowed billions of dollars. You think 336 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 3: about this they're great borrowed. Yeah, Michigan had a nine 337 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 3: billion dollars surplus, the biggest surplus Michigan has ever had. 338 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 3: But yet Gretchen Whitmer borrowed three point five billion dollars 339 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 3: to fix roads. And so what's happening now is she's 340 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 3: gotten to the point where she can't borrow any more 341 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 3: money and we're facing a big road funding cliff in 342 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 3: Michigan where our road funding is going to drop significantly. 343 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 3: I'll just say this, if you kind of look at 344 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 3: red states like Texas and Florida and blue states like Michigan. 345 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 3: You know what you see in states like Texas and 346 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 3: Florida is during the pandemic, they took all that federal 347 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 3: money that came in and they used it to invest 348 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 3: in infrastructure and to cut taxes. All right, what you 349 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 3: saw in states like Michigan. Whitmer came in, took that 350 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 3: money and used it to greatly expand government and then 351 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 3: dole the rest out to you know, a select view 352 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 3: of elites. Billions they spent our entire state surplus. And 353 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 3: then this year to keep the funding up where it was, 354 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 3: they took the money out of the teacher pension fund 355 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 3: and they cut ninety two percent from school safety funding, 356 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 3: school resource officers, mental health professors, counselors. That's why we 357 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 3: beat them in the election. I mean Donald Trump was 358 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 3: phenomenally helpful to us, but where Trump won, you know 359 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 3: Trump in many states, we're the one that flipped. And 360 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: the reason is because Whitmer led them off this cliff. 361 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 3: Focusing on her national ambitions. She wanted to be, you know, 362 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 3: the first governor to create free school lunch and free 363 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 3: breakfast for every kid, regardless of financial need. She wanted 364 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 3: to have these bold programs about everyone in Michigan gets 365 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 3: free community college and free pre k. Well, she had 366 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 3: to take that from somewhere and now we're suffering from it. 367 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 2: So I'll just another example of subsidizing the rich. 368 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: This is what they do. I mean, this is what 369 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: she knows. 370 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 2: It's again the free lunch go to It's not a 371 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: free lunch for the kids who need it, it's a 372 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: free lunch for everyone. 373 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: So you end up with the rich families. 374 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 2: And we don't have pe every day, we don't have 375 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: health class. These are things that we need to focus on. 376 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 2: But school safety, I want to bring that up because 377 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: I believe she's. 378 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: The only, if not the only. 379 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 2: She's one of the very few governors in a country 380 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 2: who have had two school shootings while she was in office. 381 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: This is something that she came out and she politically 382 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: she took political. 383 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: Advantage of and I think in a very twisted and 384 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 2: disgusting way because she and Alissa Slockkin came out cried 385 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: on TV. We're so upset about this, we can't believe it. 386 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: The parents of Michigan State have said they haven't seen 387 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 2: any changes. They saw some sirens system that nobody paid 388 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: attention to. When the sirens went off, the students just 389 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 2: kept walking. There was no announcement, no discussion. They have 390 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 2: done nothing to figure out how Lancing, which is the 391 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: seventeenth most violence city in the country, in the country 392 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: where Michigan State is located, they have done nothing to 393 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: figure out how to keep the crime from Lancing out 394 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 2: of the university, out of Michigan State University, or out 395 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: of Lancing itself. I mean, that's the real rob Why 396 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 2: do we have such a big crime problem in Lancing. 397 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 2: They have also done nothing about Oxford, and I've had 398 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 2: kids from Oxford say there were memorials we wanted to 399 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: have made we wanted some response from state government. We 400 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: got nothing, We heard nothing, And now she tweets just 401 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 2: the other day, how devastating it is, again taking political 402 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 2: advantage of these poor families who lost friends, who lost family, 403 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 2: who have permanent disabilities because of what they dealt with 404 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 2: at Oxford, which also would have likely not happened had 405 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: she implemented in twenty nineteen the state Police plan to 406 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,479 Speaker 2: keep our schools safe. Not only has she done nothing 407 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 2: to keep our school safe, but then she pulled school safety. 408 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 2: How do we not only have failing schools but have 409 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 2: schools that have no protection around our kids? How do 410 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 2: we keep ending up with Democrats? And how do we 411 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: make sure that the people know they're not for you. 412 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 2: They're not for your kids, they're not for your job, 413 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 2: they're not for your spouse, They're not for you. 414 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the shooting at Michigan State University, if you recall, 415 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 3: this was an individual who should have been who should 416 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: have not had a gun under Michigan law, but there 417 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 3: was a woke prosecutor in Lansing who pled him down 418 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 3: to a misdemeanor because she believed that because he was 419 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 3: African American and had a gun, that it was a 420 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 3: racial disparity issue, and so she automatically pled that down 421 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 3: to a misdemeanor instead of a felony, and so he 422 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 3: had a gun. So woke prosecutors in Michigan are you know, 423 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 3: we're directly part of the problem there. We have laws 424 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 3: in Michigan that stop people that commit serious gun crimes 425 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 3: from having guns because of prosecutors. Democrat prosecutors aren't doing 426 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 3: enforcing those laws. You run into those problems. We have 427 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 3: a number of sanctuary counties and sanctuary cities in Michigan, 428 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: and you know that that leads to the crime problem too. 429 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 3: Whitmer's solution is they're running bills this week to let 430 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 3: more violent criminals out of prison. Early. Their plan in 431 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 3: Michigan is, you know, they wanted to eliminate cash bail. 432 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 3: They're looking at the They're looking at how do we 433 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 3: treat the criminals fairly instead of how do we you know, 434 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 3: let's how do we make sure the victims and their 435 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 3: families are considered too? Their voices and these discussions. There's 436 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 3: a number of bipartisans school safety bills in Michigan. The 437 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 3: Democrats won't move because the far left is blocking it. 438 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 3: I will not understand why Democrats don't see things the 439 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 3: way we do on these matters, but it's one of 440 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 3: the since they lost the election in Michigan, and hopefully 441 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 3: they'll be responsive to the voters next year who put 442 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 3: them out of office because of the huge spiking time 443 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 3: in states like Michigan because of these policies. 444 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: More coming up with Speaker elect Matt Hall.

And yet I see them 475 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 2: talking about ten million dollars to put tampons in the boys' 476 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 2: bathrooms in school. 477 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: It's funny because I said to my kids, I'm. 478 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 2: Like, that's interesting because when I was in school, that 479 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 2: was actually a product that the girls used. It's never 480 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 2: free it's never provided to us. This is just this 481 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 2: is just a virtue signal. This is not something that 482 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: they actually believe ten million dollars should be spent on 483 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 2: instead of those that money going to roads, going to 484 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 2: local people, or for heaven's sake, actually going to teachers, 485 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 2: or to. 486 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: Going towards school safety. 487 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 2: They're virtue signaling, which I'm all for because I think 488 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 2: that if this is the direction they want to go, 489 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 2: then let them continue to go further and further left, 490 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 2: and ultimately the people who are reasonable. 491 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: And that Magabase will come in and we will. 492 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 2: Make sure that we are there for the people, that 493 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: we are there for families, that we are there for safety, 494 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 2: that we are there for businesses, and making sure that 495 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 2: we're there for entrepreneurs. What's your response to these crazy bills, 496 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: the fact that they still think that this resonates with 497 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 2: the people. I'm sure you partially go, Okay, Hey, let's 498 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 2: get through lame duck and let them keep saying this 499 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 2: stuff and show the people who they really are. 500 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 3: So you know, their immediate response to losing the election 501 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 3: in Michigan was to come in the next week and 502 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 3: try to change the election laws. And they tried to 503 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 3: force a national popular vote on us to take Michigan's 504 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 3: voice away from the election and give it to the 505 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 3: popular vote. Well, that would not have stopped Donald Trump. 506 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 3: Donald Trump won the popular vote. But you know they 507 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 3: aren't looking at why did this happen to us? They're 508 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 3: looking at how can we stack the deck even more to. 509 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: Win next time? 510 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 3: And I think people, you know, all these topics we're 511 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 3: talking about today. You know, whether it's law fair, whether 512 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 3: it's corporate giveaways, whether it's as you mentioned, people that 513 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 3: aren't connected not being able to get the same benefits 514 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 3: from the government as the connected few, our tax dollars 515 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 3: not being spent in ways that benefited all of us. 516 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 3: You know, people are feeling like this is a rig 517 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 3: system where the average person cannot get ahead anymore in 518 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 3: a state like Michigan or in this country. That's why 519 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 3: they elected Donald Trump. That's why they elected leaders like 520 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:15,479 Speaker 3: myself at the state in Michigan. I mentioned. You know, 521 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 3: our population is shrinking. We're like forty ninth in population growth, 522 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 3: and Democrats are looking at these policies that grow government 523 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 3: and are going to ultimately lead to our tax increases. 524 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 3: During the you know, during the pandemic and others. You 525 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 3: look at the states that are growing, like Florida and 526 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 3: Texas and even states like Indiana, they're lowering their taxes 527 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 3: and they're improving their regulations, and so I'll just say, 528 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 3: these state policies really matter. And so that's why it's 529 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 3: so important what we're doing. And we're going to try 530 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 3: to put Michigan back on a track so we can 531 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 3: grow again like these other states are, and we want to. 532 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 3: We want Michigan to be a state where people feel 533 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 3: like the average person can get ahead again. So in Michigan, 534 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 3: winning the House is that first step. But until we 535 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 3: get rid of Governor Whitmer, you know, we're still going 536 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 3: to be lagging some of these other states. Right. 537 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 2: But I think this is a great example for folks 538 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 2: out there who are saying, Okay, what does it mean 539 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 2: to get involved in local government, what does it mean 540 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 2: to monitor or how can I talk to my local 541 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 2: representative or our speaker of the House. I think this 542 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 2: is a great example of how you can get in 543 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 2: there and make real changes for the people. And just 544 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 2: the amount of low hanging fruit there is in Michigan. 545 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 2: And now we have someone who is truly America first 546 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 2: and truly Michigan first, who will go in there and say, Okay, 547 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 2: these businesses at one point wanted to expand they are 548 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 2: in all these rural communities. 549 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: Look at how we can. 550 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 2: Help our existing low hanging fruit to expand what other 551 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 2: businesses can we bring in? How can we then, Because 552 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 2: the more businesses, the more people you have, the lower 553 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 2: your spend has to be. Lower your taxes have to 554 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 2: be because you'll get more taxes the more businesses and 555 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 2: the more people. 556 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: It's just common sense. 557 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 2: So let's increase what we bring in and then we 558 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 2: can spread that around and people will have to pay less. 559 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: As long as we're you know, have many hands in there, 560 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 2: less work, it will be amazing. And that's what someone 561 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 2: like a speaker elect Matt Hall can do for us. 562 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 2: And so I'm so glad you all joined us today, 563 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 2: and Matt, I'm so glad you were here. 564 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for having me. And you know, I want 565 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 3: people to know that it's my intention. I think we're 566 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 3: sick of the Republicans winning and then not honoring the commitments. 567 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 3: Michigan and other swing states. We swamped the vote, we 568 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 3: overcame the odds, and now it's on us to deliver 569 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 3: for the people of this country and the people in Michigan, 570 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 3: and in the day of my commitment, that's what we're 571 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: going to do here in the State House in Michigan. 572 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 2: Wonderful.
