1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. We have a very

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: interesting show for you today. I think you're going to

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: really enjoy hearing what goes on behind the scenes in

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: politics and how the Democrats have gotten as far as

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: they have. So we wanted to bring an expert in.

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: We have Bill McGinley with us today. He is the

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: former White House Cabinet Secretary under President Trump and also

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: outside council to the RNC, So he's seen all of

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: the sausage in the election machine and it seems like

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: they kind of have better sausage on the other side.

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: Bill, Thanks for joining us.

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: Sure, well, they at least have more expensive sausage, that's true.

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 4: I've spent a.

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: Lot more money of building out that infrastructure and it's

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: something that they use to pay dividends election cycle after

16
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: election cycle.

17
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 4: So can't wait to get into it with you now.

18
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: Actually, I do want to get into that because in Michigan,

19
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I always say I think that this really changed after

20
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen because they saw this organic support of Trump

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: and it panicked them because they've never seen this kind

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: of They'd never seen this kind of support before, and

23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: so I think that what happened is they started bringing

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: in all these nonprofit organizations, and then they got the

25
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: Secretary of State's office, the Attorney General's office, the Governor's office,

26
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: and really they do weaponize those seeds against people.

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 4: No, that's exactly right.

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: And President Trump's election in twenty sixteen really was a

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: sea change, I think in terms of the democratic dark

30
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 3: money operation. I think before that they were looking at

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: these large, uber nonprofit organizations run by people like David

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: Brock or other big name players in the dark money universe,

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: funded by the donors to Democracy Alliance, which is a

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: big donor group that was founded by Rob Stein. There's

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: a book out there called The Argument that I would

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: ask your readers to take some time and go through

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: because it talks about the evolution of the thought process

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: amongst these democratic dark money donors. And after sixteen, they

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: were all surprised by Trump's victory and they really kind

40
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: of brought in a new crew of consultants a way

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: to approach the Republicans. They really kind of called it

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: the Resistance Map. The New York Times published the map

43
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: from the Democracy Alliance that really shows how they broke

44
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: out the different functions from everything from going after Republican

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: public officials, to research, to organizing protests, to opposition research,

46
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 3: lawfare to go against all of the Republicans. I mean,

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: it's quite sophisticated and organized, and they basically fund this

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: surround sound approach to basically attack the Republican Party without

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: the Democratic officials or the party getting their hands dirty

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: and being able to point to them as the genesis

51
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: for these types of tactics.

52
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: So we always thought that there were certain positions that

53
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: were just non partisan positions that you just did the

54
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: work of.

55
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: You know, secretary of state.

56
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: She's running elections, she's making sure that we have vehicles registered.

57
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: All of the functions of the secretary of state. We

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: thought we're just nonpartisan functions in Michigan. We've been shocked

59
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: by what Jocelyn Benson has been able or has tried

60
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: to do. She's obviously I think she's on our sixth

61
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: lawsuit now that she's lost, and you've been a part

62
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: of some of that. I believe that we have a

63
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: clip from her that is just a few days ago

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: she came out and she said, if anybody threatens to

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: not certify the results, well let's play it for you

66
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: if we have it.

67
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: If someone were to violate the law and not certify.

68
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: The election at the local level, we will come for you.

69
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 5: So any local certifier thinking of skirting the law and

70
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 5: not certifying the vote, don't even think about it, because

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 5: we we'll get you.

72
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of secretary of state speak that

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: way to the people of her state.

74
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: No, because even though the Secretary of State in a

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: lot of states is a partisan office, everybody expects the

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: Secretary of State to act as a neutral and objective

77
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 3: arbiter or administrator of the election, not to be a

78
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: partisan participant in the election. And we've seen some recent

79
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: actions coming out of her office that really shows she

80
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: did not check her partisan hat at the door when

81
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: she comes in to perform her official duties. For example,

82
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: they ruled that JF or RFK Junior has to stay

83
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 3: on the ballot after he announced the suspension of his campaign.

84
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: But Cornell West, another independent candidate, they tried to keep

85
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: him off the ballot. Why would they think that type

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: of split on the Democratic side, It's because they think

87
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: it advantages to Kamala Harris and Tim Walt's ticket.

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: And this is after she's forced him to be on

89
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: the ballot. This is I mean this is bizarre, that's correct.

90
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: Or No, she originally tried to keep him off.

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: That was it.

92
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: She originally tried to keep.

93
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Him off because she said, you can't be on the

94
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: ballot because you're not going to be the Democratic nominee.

95
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: I mean, they've just they have so manipulated democracy.

96
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: And I always think, you know, Ockham's razor is a

97
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: pretty good way to start an analysis. And there's only

98
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: one simple explanation that really plans why she would turn

99
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: so quickly on that decision, and that's because she's looking

100
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: at the partisan advantage for Kamala Harris and the upcoming election.

101
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: And so you know, we always have to we always

102
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: have to look at this. And I think one of

103
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: the most disturbing things that we really see in this

104
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: trend are the secretary's of state becoming active participants in

105
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: the election. It's one thing to enforce the law, whether

106
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: it's keeping the voter rolls clean, making sure there's parody

107
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: with toll watchers, what I hope we'll talk about later,

108
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: you know, any of the different things that you know

109
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: a secretary of State should do to enforce and make

110
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: sure that there is transparency in the process, that both sides, Democrats,

111
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: Republicans and independents, all sides are going to have faith

112
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 3: in the process and confidence and the results because the

113
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: citizen armies that show up to actually cast their ballots,

114
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: volunteer on election day or during early voting, just to

115
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 3: be the eyes and ears of their party, not to

116
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: do anything else, but just to be able to come

117
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: back and say we didn't see any issue, or if

118
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: we saw an ishe this is what we saw, and

119
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: then the lawyers can can figure out a course of action,

120
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: including contacting the Secretary.

121
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: Of state's office.

122
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: These are time honored roles that political parties have done,

123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: and we see the Democrats, especially their secretaries of state

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: and the attorneys generals in some of these states, are

125
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: really using bellicost language to try and intimidate these people

126
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 3: who really are active and valued participants in the democratic

127
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: product process on both sides of the aisle. I hope

128
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: they dial it back, they allow the process to unfold,

129
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: because if we have a fair, transparent and secure process,

130
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: I am confident Donald Trump it's going to be prevail

131
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: on November five.

132
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: But it hasn't been fair for several years, and that's

133
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: why these lawsuits have had to be brought up against

134
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: Jocelyn Benson in Michigan, and I mean, you have had

135
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: similar situations Arizona. You had Katie Hobbs, who is Secretary

136
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: of State, a very partisan secretary of state, then runs

137
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: her own election for governor. We are seeing that that'll

138
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: be the same thing in Michigan because Jocelyn Benson had

139
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: as many times said she's very interested in running for governor,

140
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: so this will be the same situation.

141
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: She's done some things in this state that are bizarre.

142
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: You've had to see her to get people off the

143
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: voter rolls because she wouldn't clean the voter roles, one

144
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: of her main duties. I mean, that really is just

145
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: kind of like one of the standard duties of the

146
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: secretary of State, and she's refused to do that. Another

147
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: one I want to ask you about, because we were

148
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: always very concerned, she eliminated the signature match. After touting

149
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: it and saying everything is safe because you have the

150
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: signature match, it's the safest way to make sure that

151
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: absentee ballots are actually who they say they are.

152
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: She eliminated that.

153
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know a court had to come in.

154
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: You know, she was putting out the secret guidance that

155
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: had the presumption of validity, which I think she used

156
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: as the basis for trying to do that something that

157
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: really didn't have a tethered basis in statutor in the

158
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: statutory regime out there in Michigan, and the court had

159
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: to come in and say there's no basis for this.

160
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: The presumption is gone. Now, with the presumption gone, that

161
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: should result in both parties looking at the signatures to

162
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: see if they match. If they don't match, you can

163
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 3: set it aside and do a further investigation. Just because

164
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: the signatures don't match doesn't mean a ballot doesn't count.

165
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: It just requires you to go back and confirm that

166
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: that is the voter who casts the ballot. All of

167
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: these things strengthen democracy. They basically bring transparency to the process.

168
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: They give people faith that when they announce the results,

169
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: they're confident that those results were based on a fair,

170
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: transparent and secure process. And I really think that these

171
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: secretaries of state that are becoming more and more partisan,

172
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: viewing the office not as really a public service to

173
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: serve all voters of their state, but as a stepping

174
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 3: stone to higher office, I think are really doing the

175
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: voters in their state a disservice. I really think that

176
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: they should be something that is seen and heard from

177
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: less and do a better job at administering the laws

178
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 3: that the legislators have empowered you to do.

179
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: First ran that was her message was I'm going to

180
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: sure have shorter wait times. I'm going to make the

181
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: state work harder for you. We will be true servants.

182
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: And then this last two election cycles it's been we're

183
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: going to force democracy. We're protecting you from the other side.

184
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: This message from someone who I think people have not

185
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: seen as partisan in the past, have seen as like

186
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: you said, if you have a problem, you call the

187
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: secretary of State. It's been a trusted office, is now

188
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: telling you one side of the political aisle is a

189
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: threat to me. That's some of the most dangerous language

190
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: they can use. We just saw an assassination attempt against

191
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: the former president and a presidential candidate, and now we

192
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: have secretaries of state in swing states saying that all

193
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: of us are a threat. We just had a situation

194
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: in the primary where Detroit has somehow like seven times

195
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: more poll workers, and you just talked about how important

196
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: these nonpartisan are these Democrat and Republican poll workers are

197
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: working together. How does that happen that we end up

198
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: with seven times more Democrats than Republicans because that goes

199
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: through her office.

200
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be able to happen.

201
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the R and C and others in Michigan

202
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: are litigating over that issue because it's called the parody requirement.

203
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: And basically, in order to have the transparency and the

204
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: faith and the process, you want to have as much

205
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: parity as possible between Democrats, Republicans, and independents. And so

206
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: these state boards are empowered to go out and try

207
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 3: and find the election workers who are going to man

208
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: the station, administer the election, interact with the voters, and

209
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: you're supposed to make it as bipartisan as possible, so

210
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 3: then nobody feels like there's a partisan advantage there. When

211
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: one party is basically not allowed to get to parody,

212
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: that creates an issue where the courts may need to

213
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: step in and tell these folks, you know, hey, look,

214
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: this is not some sort of discretionary clause under the law.

215
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: This is actually a statutory duty that you need to fulfill,

216
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 3: and we expect you to try and do this so

217
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: that the people of Michigan can really have faith in

218
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 3: the process. Now, let me also say this, and I

219
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: want to say this unrelated to the lawsuit. This is

220
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: where your listeners in Michigan, in the battleground states Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia.

221
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: You know, I would even throw in Virginia and Minnesota.

222
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 3: Part of this is the citizens are the way that

223
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 3: we're going to counteract the billions of dollars in dark

224
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 3: money that the Democrats are.

225
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 4: Going to throw at us.

226
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: Citizens are the way that we're going to be able

227
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: to counteract some of these election administrators who may not

228
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: be objective and neutral. It's through your agency that we're

229
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: going to be able to do this. So I would

230
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: encourage every one of your listeners who care about this

231
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,440

Speaker 2: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

246
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: the Tutor Dixon Podcast.

247
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: I think that that is something that people always assume

248
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: there's someone else doing and don't assume because we are

249
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: looking for the people that we are the people's movement.

250
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: I think that's what people need to really understand. The

251
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: Republicans are the party of the people. The Democrats are

252
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: the party of big dark money, and big dark money

253
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: actually hires people to do that and they don't care.

254
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: They're getting a paycheck no matter what.

255
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: We've talked to some of these people and they're like, look,

256
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: we're getting big money to do this, and why just

257
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: because there's two billion extra dollars hanging around on the

258
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: Democrat side. I was reading something that advertising will be

259
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: somewhere around eleven billion dollars for the cycle. Democrats have

260
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: a massive amount of money flowing. Why and how does

261
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: this work? Because we dealt with it in Michigan. Gretchen Whitmer. Oh,

262
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: she you know, Tudor Dixon was outspent.

263
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 6: But why because this wasn't Michigan money, right, And basically

264
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 6: it's the national architecture network that they've built up.

265
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: I mean, you have, of course the Arabella Advisor groups

266
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: that in twenty twenty one of them almost raised and

267
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: spent one billion dollars. That was just one group alone,

268
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 3: and they advised like four or five groups and combined,

269
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 3: I mean, they were at least one point five billion dollars.

270
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 3: Then you go out and you look at some of

271
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: their partisan attack organizations, some of which have been blessed

272
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: by the Biden campaign and we expect that blessing to

273
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: get venue through the Harris Walts era, you know, Future

274
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: Forward and some of the others that they have that

275
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: are spending money right now. And then you have their

276
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: get out the vote organizers, you know the hubs that

277
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 3: they call for their tables, which is their organizing principles

278
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: in the states, like America Votes and others. You have

279
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: the Tide Center and others. I mean, when you look

280
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: at the amount of money, that's just the national organizations,

281
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: and I always like to have my trustee cheat sheets

282
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 3: here in front of me. But in twenty twenty, the

283
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: national spending right between some of the largest dark money

284
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: groups on the Democratic side total six hundred and ninety

285
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: one million dollars in change. That is a staggering amount

286
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: and almost as much as Donald Trump raised in the

287
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: twenty twenty campaign. I mean, and that's just the transfers

288
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: among the national organizations. That doesn't even get into the

289
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: money that they were shipping down into the battleground states

290
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: from everything for get out the vote, for messaging, for

291
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: opposition re search. But they you know, in twenty twenty,

292
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: they were also they spent about ten million dollars I think.

293
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 4: It was, don't hold me to that.

294
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: I believe it was ten million dollars on something called

295
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: pizza to the polls. I mean, they had so much money,

296
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: they were spending money on the most creative ways to

297
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: do it, to try and juice there get out the

298
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: vote operation in the name of helping an election administration.

299
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: It's so funny because they're propaganda is far and wide.

300
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: And I was talking to one of my friends in

301
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: Europe the other day and he said, you know, all

302
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: of the TV, everything we see is that essentially Kamala

303
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: Harris will come in like fistfighte putin by herself, and

304
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: Trump will make Russia rise, and that this is in

305
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: that Kamala Harris is the.

306
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: Woman of the people.

307
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: And he was saying that they are being told that

308
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: this party is truly like the grassroots, that the Democrats

309
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: are the grassroots party that are there for the people.

310
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: But he said, but we are confused because we have

311
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: just seen that she has just taken over as the candidate,

312
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: and she has brought in half a billion dollars. And

313
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: he said, how does this person who is so protective

314
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: of the people and has been lifted up by the

315
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: people who don't have the money, how does she bring

316
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: in half a billion dollars in such a short period

317
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: of time.

318
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: And I'm like, gods, she's not right.

319
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: That's right. I mean, if you look at it, Donald

320
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: Trump has really fought for the working class in this country,

321
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: and whether it's you know, fighting for the workers by

322
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 3: taking on unfair trade practices to try and bring manufacturing

323
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: and assembly and everything else back to the United States

324
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: so the American worker can effectively compete against what's happening

325
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 3: overseas when you look at education, where he's fighting so

326
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 3: that kids are learning how to think for themselves as

327
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: opposed to being indoctrinated with what to think. And in

328
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: my personal opinion, education is rapidly becoming a national security

329
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 3: issue because not only do our children need to be

330
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: able to compete domestically, to compete for the jobs, the

331
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: high entering jobs, and all of the jobs. And I

332
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 3: include plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and the other blue collar royalty

333
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: as I like to call them. My dad was a landscaper,

334
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: so I love those workers and I've worked with them

335
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: summers and summers and summers growing up. But we also

336
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 3: need to be able to compete internationally. And are we

337
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 3: going to be able to compete with China, with Russia,

338
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: with Iran, with North Korea, with Venezuela, with some of

339
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 3: the other people that we you know, other nations that

340
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 3: do not have our best interest at heart in some

341
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 3: cases their adversaries, but certainly opponents. Are our children, the

342
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 3: next generation that's going to step up. Are they going

343
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: to have the intellectual firepower to keep America great? And

344
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 3: I think that's a very foundational question that we need

345
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: to start asking ourselves as a nation, because when you

346
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: talk to parents, they want their kids to learn the

347
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 3: tools to survive. They want their kids to learn the

348
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: tools to compete, to be able to get those great jobs.

349
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 3: And they don't want somebody else substituting their values, their

350
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: judgment for the parents' judgments and values for raising their

351
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 3: And really the ultimate fiduciary responsibility in a society is

352
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 3: a parent to a child and to provide for their

353
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: well being, for their education, put a roof over their head,

354
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 3: make sure that they're fed and clothed properly, and provide

355
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 3: them with the security they need to be able to

356
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: grow into productive adults.

357
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: You make a great point. I think it is it

358
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: is parents, but it's also the people of this country.

359
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: Even to those folks who are not going to have children,

360
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: those are still the people who are saying, I want

361
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: to make sure that we preserve the beauty of this country.

362
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: And I think that they are being manipulated by this administration,

363
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: but also by many of these democrats who have been

364
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: cozying up to outside.

365
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 2: Powers, to dangerous powers.

366
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: And we saw Jade Vance here in Michigan a couple

367
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: of days ago at the Goshen Site, which is a

368
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: Chinese battery factory that Gretchen Whitmer has ushered in and

369
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: handed our taxpayer dollars too.

370
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: And I just as you were talking.

371
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: About this, I was thinking, you know, having your dad

372
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: was a landscaper. My dad started my grandfather worked on

373
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: the line at Bell Telephone, and then my father went

374
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: through college and he worked in factory stale factories and

375
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: worked his way up to being the chief operating officer

376
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: of a big company and then bought a factory in Michigan.

377
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: And those are the people who said, we're going to

378
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: do everything we can to make sure this country is

379
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: great and make sure this country is clean. And we

380
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: have done so much to make sure that our land

381
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: is preserved for the future. And if you bring the

382
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: Chinese in here who haven't and don't care, or you

383
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: bring any other group in here that is an adversarial

384
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: country that doesn't care about the future of the United

385
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: States of America, how dangerous are how much danger are

386
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: we in?

387
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, you know the other thing is is that

388
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: the people you just described are also the first ones

389
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: to step up at the recruiting station and defend America

390
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: when something goes wrong. And you look at people like

391
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: jd Vance, who answered this nation's call enlisted in the

392
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 3: Marine Corps, served his country honorably, pulled himself up the

393
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: bootstraps out of poverty in Ohio, to go to one

394
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: of the best law schools in the country, and to

395
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: become a very successful businessman and ultimately a US Senator.

396
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 3: That is a story that historically all Americans have celebrated.

397
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: People who have worked hard, played by the rules, and

398
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: been able to advance themselves in their family. Is something

399
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 3: that usually Republicans and Democrats could do. Now that Democrats

400
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: are trying to use his life story as something that

401
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: somehow he's not entitled in, you're like, wait a minute,

402
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: if you ask somebody for the ideal American story, a

403
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 3: lot of stuff that jd Vance has done, I think

404
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 3: would be part of that ladder to pull yourself out

405
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 3: of poverty.

406
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: And so they don't.

407
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 2: Want people to see its possible. They don't. They love

408
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: to keep people on poverty.

409
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I can tell you the people who you

410
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 3: know work for a living. You know, the people who's

411
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: garage they can't park the car in the garage.

412
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 4: Because it's filled with tools because.

413
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 3: Every morning at five thirty or six am, they got

414
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: to drive off to a new site. Those people want

415
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 3: to get out of poverty. They want their children to

416
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 3: have a better life. I mean, remember that was always

417
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: the American dream. There was a way for us to

418
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 3: debase say I'm going to make the sacrifice it's necessary

419
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 3: so that my children, or my nieces and nephews or

420
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: my grandchildren are going to have a better life. And

421
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: I think, you know, somehow we need to get back

422
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: to that type of mentality, which is what's most important.

423
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 3: It's not my instant gratification, but what we can do

424
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: for the next generation. I think that's what Donald Trump, Jadvans,

425
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 3: Mike Rogers in Michigan, and a lot of others really

426
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: are trying to fight for because at the end of

427
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: the day, that is our future.

428
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: And I think we keep hearing from the Harris administration

429
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: that they want this redistribution of wealth and that that

430
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: is the ultimate utopia. And it's interesting to me because

431
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: what you just said, when I heard you just say,

432
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: is that that is totally opposite of human nature. That

433
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: we all want the opportunity to push ourselves to become

434
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: something different, something better, to prove to ourselves into our families.

435
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: That internal desire to grow and build something. We're builders

436
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: by nature, and that socialist attitude that takes that's why

437
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: it's never worked. And I've had young people say it's

438
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: never been done, right, But what you just said is

439
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: the reason, because it goes against human nature.

440
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 4: Right. That's right.

441
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: And you know, a lot of the stuff that we're

442
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 3: talking about, you know, the sacrifice to make a better

443
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: life for your children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews, the way

444
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 3: that you try to better your community kind of all

445
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: goes back to the reason why I hope everybody listening

446
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: to your show goes to Trump fors forty seven and

447
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: protect the vote dot com and puts the sweat equity

448
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 3: necessary so that on November five, we can begin the

449
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 3: process of really kind of making America great again, that

450
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: we can really start to correct some of these wrongs.

451
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: You know, put prosecutors in place that believe that enforcing

452
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 3: the law is their primary responsibility and justice. You know

453
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 3: that prosecution and incarceration for recidivus violent offenders is something

454
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: that needs to be done, you know, putting them you know,

455
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: making education stem education a priority, and some of the

456
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 3: other things that we need to give our kids the

457
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 3: tools to compete, you know, bring us down, deit down,

458
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: make America respected again abroad, and improve our security so

459
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: that we don't have these lars that are threatening the

460
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 3: pullets into World War three. I mean, when there's a

461
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: vacuum of leadership from America on the international stage, you're

462
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 3: seeing what happens. Aggressors get aggressive. They try to take

463
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: advantage of that vacuum, believing that America is not going

464
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 3: to stand up for its national interest. And I think

465
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and JD Vance in the administration that they

466
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: would put together, I think instantly our adversaries and opponents

467
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 3: would immediately recognize it would be a new day and

468
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 3: that they would recalibrate their thinking on what they're doing.

469
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: Stick around for more with Bill McGinley, But first I

470
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: want to tell you about my partners at IFCJ. We

471
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: are quickly approaching that one year anniversary of the horrific

472
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: Humas attacks on Israel, and still the Holy Land continues

473
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: to be attacked on multiple fronts. Deadly threats are increasing

474
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: in northern Israel and constant rocket attacks from Husbila have

475
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: been fired at Israel, causing widespread days iamage. They're actually

476
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: having raging wildfires destroy their precious farmland. Since this war started,

477
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: it's been the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews that's

478
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: been on the forefront in Israel, addressing the needs of

479
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: the most vulnerable. And that's why I'm partnering with IFCJ

480
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: today and you can too, because your life saving donation

481
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: will help provide emergency food as well as critical security

482
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: needs like flak jackets, firefighting equipment, armored vehicles, bomb shelters

483
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: and more. We are looking for five hundred listeners to

484
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: join me and the Fellowship by donating one hundred and

485
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: fifty dollars to meet these urgent security needs. And thanks

486
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,880

492
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: Israel needs your support now more with Bill McGinley after this.

493
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: When we started this podcast, you were talking about the

494
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: importance of volunteering and getting out there. That has been

495
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: a disadvantage on our side because they are you know,

496
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: the idea of Obama being the community organizer, this is

497
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: a business for them. It's not really the community organizer.

498
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: It's about going out and hiring a massive amount of

499
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: people and then they keep many of them on the

500
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: payroll because they have all of this dark money and

501
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: they are able to do this. That's why, if you're listening,

502
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: make sure you not only volunteer, not only go to

503
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: that Trump fors forty seven office, but you also get

504
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: your friends to do it.

505
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 2: And you make sure.

506
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: Guys, we're talking about a few hours of your life

507
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: that you're giving up to make sure we are protected.

508
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: You think about all the men and women who serve,

509
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: all the men and women who give up much more

510
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: than that.

511
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: Please step in, Please help us out.

512
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 4: That's exactly right.

513
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 3: And you know if you can just you know, whatever

514
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 3: time you can spare, whether it's an hour a week

515
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 3: making phone calls to neighbor's friends and family for them to.

516
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 4: Get out the vote.

517
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 3: Because remember, election security and get out the voter are

518
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 3: two sides of the same coin. We need to turn

519
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 3: out the votes. We need you to cast your ballot

520
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 3: so that we have something to fight over. If we

521
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: have to fight because we want to preserve your ballot,

522
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 3: and so you need to do that.

523
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: But we also need the election security side so that

524
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 4: people have faith in the process.

525
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 3: And I would also tell your listeners find the method

526
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 3: of voting that is most convenient for you. If you

527
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 3: know you're going to be traveling on election day, vote

528
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: early right, whether it's in person, and I know a

529
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 3: lot of people don't want to hear it, I'm mailing.

530
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: If you can bring yourself to do it, and you

531
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: can basically find a way to track it, use a

532
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 3: mail in ballot. A lot of people will say no,

533
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 3: I can't trust that. Then find the time on the

534
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 3: weekend to go vote in Verson on an early basis.

535
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 3: You need to get those votes in if there's a snowstorm,

536
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 3: if something else happens on election day and we're not

537
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 3: able to do it. We can't rely on the typical

538
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 3: democratic advantage in early voting. You have to vote exercise

539
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: you're franchised. You want to put people like Gretchen Whitmer,

540
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: the governor of Michigan, and Jocelyn Benson, the Secretary of State,

541
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: back in a box and to show them how democracy

542
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 3: really works. Make sure your registration is up today. Own

543
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: your vote, take responsibility for what you're supposed to be doing.

544
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 3: Figure out the best way for you to cast your

545
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 3: ballot and make sure that you cast it. Make a

546
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 3: circle of friends of ten people, hold each other accountable.

547
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: Have you cast your ballot yet?

548
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 4: Did you get in? And do that okay?

549
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: And then make sure that you're volunteering on election day

550
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 3: to help turn out the vote for those people who

551
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 3: had to wait for election day. But also sign up

552
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 3: as a pole watcher, be a volunteer for America, a

553
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: volunteer to make sure that democracy actually does work. And

554
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 3: I think you're going to feel a lot better, and

555
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 3: I think it's going to produce the results you want,

556
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 3: not only for you and your family, but for your kids,

557
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 3: your grandkids, your nieces and nephews.

558
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

559
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: I think that you have to remember this is a

560
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: story I haven't told before, but people have to that

561
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: we are the Party of the working people, and so

562
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: oftentimes you can't get to the polls that day. You

563
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: may be going on a business trip. And in twenty

564
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: sixteen I did have a business trip. I had to

565
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: go out to Canada and I was at a shop

566
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: in Canada, so I voted early. I voted the day

567
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: before you could. In Michigan, you can go to your

568
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: local precinct and you can put an absentee ballot in

569
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: right there. So I did that in twenty sixteen. And

570
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: then I went with a bunch of people from Chicago

571
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: on a business trip and we're in Montreal and no

572
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: one speaks English that the news is all French, and

573
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's going to happen, because you know, everybody

574
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: was saying Hillary Clinton would win. And so we went

575
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: to this local restaurant. We're sitting there and we can't

576
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: understand anything they're saying because it's all on French, right,

577
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: and we just see I'm with a bunch of liberals,

578
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: we just see the States on the screen going up

579
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: into the box and turning red. And I'm sitting there like,

580
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: holy wow, this is happening.

581
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: And they were sitting there.

582
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: Finally the one girl goes, I'm getting sick. We have

583
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: to go back to the hotel. I'm getting sick. I

584
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: can't watch this around other people. And I'm like, this

585
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: is amazing that this is going to happen. This amazing.

586
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: And the next morning we came down and I was

587
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: sort of like, I don't want to gloat. I don't

588
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: want I'm just going to see what people are thinking.

589
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: And I will never forget the one man who was

590
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: with me, he said, we're just so worried because we

591
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: have a friend who's illegal and we know that in

592
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: the next few weeks they're going to come and they're

593
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: going to take him out of this country. And I

594
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: thought I had just seen the massive amount of deportations

595
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: that Obama had done when he was in office, and

596
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: the idea that this was something that getting people who

597
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: had come into this country illegally out of the country

598
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: and forcing people to come in legally was new was

599
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: just so shocking to me.

600
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: They just had no idea.

601
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: There's people were just so uneducated and something that was

602
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: important to Democrats was politically advantageous for them to change

603
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: their position and demonized. So did and it scared an

604
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: entire country full of people, even though it was something

605
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: they had done more of than anyone else. It's just

606
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: that's just how ghosts.

607
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they really are the Party of projection.

608
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: Everything that they try to accuse Republicans of, I mean

609
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 3: they are doing tenfold. And you know, you look at

610
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 3: everything from the improper law fair against President Trump and

611
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 3: other Republicans. And I thought Bobby Kennedy when he suspended

612
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: his campaign and dropped out, I thought he did a

613
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: really good job of basically using real world examples of

614
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: how the Democratic Party.

615
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 4: Has just lost its way, right.

616
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 3: I mean, they are not about, you know, working for

617
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: the people anymore. They're all about preserving their power at

618
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 3: any cost, and they don't care who they have to

619
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 3: run over, including a Kennedy, one of the most storied

620
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: families that helped make the Democratic Party. I mean, what

621
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 3: they're willing to do is really kind of breathtaking and

622
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: really demonstrates the stakes involved in this election of why

623
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 3: we need to prevail, because we really do need to

624
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: to course correct on so many fronts so that we

625
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: can have a brighter future in America can be great again.

626
