I'm Tutor Dixon, 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: and I wanted to chat a little bit about this 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: amazing state of the Union that we had. But there 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: was this mystery woman, the woman in red, and all 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden on social media, everybody was going crazy 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: like who was the woman in red on the Democrat side? 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: And I loved it because I know this woman. She's 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: been to the state of Michigan. She campaigned for the 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: president in Michigan, so she is personally very important to me. 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: She is our Florida Congresswoman Kat Camak. Thank you so 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: much for joining me on the podcast today. 12 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 2: Oh Tutor, it's so good to see you. And it's 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: kind of crazy that it might be colder in Florida 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: than it is in Michigan. 15 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: I know. I actually my mom goes to Florida in 16 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: the winter and she brags every winter and I'm like, okay, 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: she called the other day she's like, what's the weather 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: like here. I'm like, it's like seventy five, which was 19 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: a total lie, and she's like, Okay, it's your lying, 20 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: but it has been cold there. So but thank you 21 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: for doing what you did. I love what you did 22 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: on the House floor because we were watching and I 23 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: saw you, I obviously knew who it was, and it 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: was just just struck me that there was this bright 25 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: joy coming out of you on that side of the aisle. 26 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: Well, it was, as you said, the most incredible State 27 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: of the Union speech. I mean, honestly, the only way 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: that that speech could have been better is if they 29 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: had been blasting freebird in the chamber and let an 30 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 2: eagle fly through like that was that was the only 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 2: way that that was going to get topped. But it 32 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 2: wasn't really a premeditated, like well in advanced thought out plan, 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: like hey, I'm going to sit on the Democrat side. 34 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: It was more of like an hour before the State 35 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: of the Union, I started talking to my team and 36 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what, there's there's all these people 37 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: that you know, they jockey for these positions and the 38 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: chamber and you know, our side's just going to be 39 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: absolut you know, standing up, sitting down, standing up, and 40 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: you know, it's just so sad that the Democrats are 41 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: going to be sitting the whole time, Like you know what, 42 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: somebody needs to get on their side and show them 43 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: how to stand up and my team's like, oh my gosh, 44 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: don't do that, Please. 45 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: Don't do that. 46 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: And I was like, Oh, I think guess the right 47 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: thing to do. Guys, I'm going to do it. And 48 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: I had members telling me not to do it. I 49 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: had my team telling me not to do it. And 50 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: in the end, I think the American people saw it 51 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: for what it was. It was an expression of pure 52 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: pride and joy for our amazing and exceptional nation. And 53 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: you know, when it comes to America, we shouldn't have sites. 54 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: You're either with America or you're not. And we should 55 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: be willing to rise to our feet rather than sit 56 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: on our hands, because you know, the people are counting 57 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: on us. So it was just such a great speech. 58 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: It's such a great energy. 59 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: Hills when you said that, I mean because it's so true, 60 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: and especially on a night like this where we see 61 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: so many people. I love what the President is able 62 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: to do when he brought the hockey team in, when 63 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: he brings the helicopter pilot in, and you are honoring 64 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: these people, and those are actually the people of the 65 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: United States of America. They are the little kid that 66 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: had a dream that made it, the man who fought 67 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: for our country the little girl who was in the 68 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: accident and is fighting to get back to who she 69 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: was after two years, still fighting to walk. I mean, 70 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: these are the real, real stories. They're not famous people, 71 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: we've never seen them before. They are people that are 72 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: just coming into the light. And the Democrats couldn't they 73 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: couldn't show any joy for that. That was shocking to me. 74 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a pretty sad state of affairs when you 75 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: have people in these positions, elected positions that are cheering 76 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: for our country to fail more so than cheering for 77 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: the man in the White House to succeed. That to 78 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: me says far more about the radical left than it 79 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: does anything about the President or Republicans or everyday Americans. 80 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: I think they need to do some serious soul searching, 81 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: because this is what Americans are sick and tired of. 82 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: They're sick and tired of the America Last policies. They 83 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: want to get to the place where we can all 84 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: stand up in the chamber and cheer for the hockey 85 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: team that just brought home gold. We should be able 86 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: to stand up and cheer for an amazing soldier who 87 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: fought in World War Two, Vietnam and Korea and is 88 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by the First Lady. 89 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: We should be willing to come together and do that, 90 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: But the fact that you still have people sitting on 91 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: their hands, it's just it's so very sad. And I 92 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: think the American people sought for what it is and 93 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 2: they'll remember when they go to the ballots, the ballot 94 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 2: box in November. 95 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: When we were little kids, we were told actions speak 96 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: louder than words, and your actions spoke louder than words. 97 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: And I was so impressed with the because it is bold. 98 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: And what people don't understand outside of politics is when 99 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: your staff tells you something, when the other members are 100 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: telling you something, it is really remark to stand against 101 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: them and say there's a moment in time here that 102 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: we can show that we are together as a country 103 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: and there is not an isle. There is not an isle. 104 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: And that was so powerful to me. But I want 105 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: to ask you about what you just said, because you're 106 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: talking about you know, they are so Trump deranged, and 107 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: we've talked about Trump arrangement syndrome for such a long 108 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: time and they will say we can't stand for him. 109 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: But now we're coming to a point where in twenty 110 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: twenty eight, someone knew we'll run for office. And I 111 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: saw Gavin Newsom interviewed by Jensaki and he did something 112 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: that I went, oh, wow, that's how they continue this, 113 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: because even on the Republican side, I know that there 114 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: are people that have gone, well, well we have somebody 115 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: running in twenty twenty eight. They won't be able to 116 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: be mad because it won't be Trump. He said. She 117 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: said to him, well, what do you think of twenty 118 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: twenty eight? They're talking about it being jd Vance or 119 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: maybe Marco Rubio. And he said that scares me even more. 120 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: And I think you need to understand they're worse than Trump. 121 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: And I was like, here it is. It's never going 122 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: to for the people who think at some point they're 123 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: going to say, oh, we're Republicans, are welcome in the 124 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: town square again, they will never do it. This is 125 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: not a Trump thing, this is a Republican conservative values thing. 126 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: They're going to keep going after us, and we have 127 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: to fight to go on that other side of the aisle. 128 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean, I think that that US versus them 129 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: mentality is what is really eroding the foundation that so 130 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: many people have spilled blood in our nation's uniform to protect. 131 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: I mean, we have to come together as Americans. I 132 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 2: mean anything short of that is just going to be 133 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: rearranging the deck chairs on the on the Titanic as 134 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned, because our adversaries abroad, they are 135 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 2: absolutely fostering this type of divide. They love seeing the chaos, 136 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: they love seeing the two sides going at it. And 137 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: I will tell you that, looking ahead to the next 138 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: day of the Union, I'm going to be inviting Democrats 139 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: to sit on the republic side. I'm going to drag 140 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: some of my Republican colleagues to the Democrat side, because 141 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: that's what the American people need to see is one team, 142 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: one mission. Look at what Russia is doing, look at 143 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: what China is doing, look at what Venezuela up until 144 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: that incredible And I just have to say, we have 145 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: the most amazing military in the world. Now having that 146 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: through the classified briefing and hearing in extreme detail what 147 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: they went through, oh my gosh, I could cry thinking 148 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: about how exceptional our military, how brave our military is. 149 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: But that's the thing that the American people are hungry for. 150 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: They're looking for solutions. They're not looking for the finger pointing, 151 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: and you think about what President Trump has done. We 152 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: secured the largest tax cut in American history. They didn't 153 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: vote for it, they couldn't cheer for it. They will 154 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: gladly accept it when they go to file their taxes, 155 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: but they just cannot stand the fact that he is 156 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: doing all the things that the American people want. And 157 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: so I think that this is our moment to really 158 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: rise above it all and say, listen, we want everyone 159 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: who loves America on the team. Let's do what's best 160 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: for this country. Let's do what's best for American families. 161 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: And if you're not going to do that, people will 162 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: see it for what it was. And that's really what 163 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: my choice of seat in the chamber was all about. 164 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: A clear, stark visual of you have Chuck Schumer sitting 165 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: next to me, sitting and scowling at me, Mark Kelly 166 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: behind me, scowling at me, And I was like, you 167 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: know what, I love this country more than anything. I'm 168 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 2: gonna standup and I'm gonna plaud every damn minute that 169 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: I get. 170 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: That's what it I mean, that's what our side shows. 171 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: There is a love of country, and they've tried to 172 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: shame us into not having a love of country. And 173 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: I just saw a chart that said that Democrats overall 174 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: that their love of country has gone way down. It says, 175 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: if they're teaching, which I believe they are teaching people, 176 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: you should be ashamed of your country, Whereas I looked 177 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: at what did and I was ashamed of that. But 178 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: I want to say, you brought up the Venezuela mission, 179 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: and you've seen obviously way more than we have. And 180 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've been living in a cave, 181 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: but I didn't know the story of the helicopter pilot. 182 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the unique pleasures in 183 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: seeing these types of speeches that the President gives, because 184 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: he is a storyteller. And the way he told that 185 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: it was funny because my daughter, my twelve year old, 186 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: the next morning in the car, she goes, but Mom, 187 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: why would the helicopter pilot get that award and not 188 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: everybody that went into Venezuela that night get the award? 189 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, well, let's talk about what 190 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: the president told us. Because I hadn't heard that story. 191 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: I was like, you have to understand. She goes and 192 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: he got shot, and I said, and he flew, he 193 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: still landed the helicopter, He still got the entire group 194 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: safely to where they needed to go. And she was like, 195 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's amazing. That guy's really amazing. And 196 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: I thought, how cool that you can have a night 197 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: where your kids can watch and the Democrats can complain 198 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: that he said they were crazy, But he said it 199 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: because they wouldn't stand for those moments. It wasn't that 200 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: he was saying the party was crazy. You've seen the 201 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: people right there who wouldn't stand for those moments were 202 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: acting very insane and immature. But your kids could watch 203 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: it and walk away and go that's America. 204 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: Oh and I love that she asked you about that, 205 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 2: because that's the curiosity that we want to inspire and 206 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: our kids. You know. I just I think about that 207 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 2: helicopter pilot. And people may not know he was originally 208 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: supposed to be in a wheelchair and he was going 209 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 2: to be wheeled into the chamber. And you have to 210 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: imagine that this guy who literally was shot multiple times 211 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 2: in the leg was bleeding out. He has such pride 212 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 2: that he said, Hell, no, I'm not going to be 213 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: wheeled into that chamber. I'm going to walk into that 214 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: chamber and he had a walker, and you could see 215 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: the pain, but you could also see the pride on 216 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: his face, that resolve, that grit, that scrappiness like America 217 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 2: exceptionalism embodied in that guy and his wife in her face, 218 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 2: she was just being You could see the pride that 219 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: it was what's so special, And it was so sad 220 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 2: to me, especially when talking about the mother of the 221 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: young lady who was tragically brutally murdered in Charlotte. Most 222 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 2: of my colleagues on the Democrat side wear a lapelpin 223 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: that has a Ukrainian flag on it. They're willing to 224 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: stand for Ukraine so long as it's over there. But 225 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: the minute that a Ukrainian refugee gets to the United 226 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: States and is brutally murdered by somebody who is a 227 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: repeat offender who never should have been out on the streets. 228 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: But as a result of the no cash bail and 229 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 2: then the soft on crime policies that they promote, they're silent. 230 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: I mean, the double standard is incredible, and the hypocrisy 231 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 2: it's on full to They think that they're being smart 232 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: about how they're handling this, but I think that's what 233 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 2: Americans are sick and tired of They're sick and tired 234 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: of being treated like their idiots. We know what's going on. 235 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: We see their double standard, we see when they're doing 236 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: all of this for political show, and we're just tired 237 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 2: of it. We don't want our kids to grow up 238 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 2: where it's Republican versus Democrat and you can't have a 239 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: healthy debate and still be friends at the end. You know, 240 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: that's what we need to get back to. And I 241 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: just I'm so encouraged about where we're headed as a country. 242 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: As a nation. I know that we certainly have our 243 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: fair share of problems, but man, are we the best 244 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 2: people equipped to handle them. 245 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: But you make a great point here. They are fighting 246 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: for people in another country and they're not on the ground, 247 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: and it's not affecting them, And it's just a projected, 248 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: a projection of this weak care. We're loving vote for us, 249 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: But let me tell you what the reality of that 250 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: Ukrainian story is. Because Roy Cooper is running for Senate 251 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: in North Carolina. He's the one his policies as governor. 252 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: Let that guy out. Now you have Roy Cooper running 253 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: against our own former RNC chair Watley and you have it, 254 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: so they they think that you've got some You've got 255 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: a real problem with having Wattley down there running, So 256 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: you are going to sit for a woman who lost 257 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: her daughter because they know that could politically come back 258 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: on them because it was their guy that let that 259 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: guy out and got her killed, and he's running to 260 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: be a senator. They want that tenancy. 261 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just doesn't that just break your heart though, 262 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: that people like that are willing to spill blood and 263 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: willing to turn the cheek, their cheek to someone who 264 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 2: lost their life and a grieving mother. I mean, you 265 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: could feel that woman's pain in the chamber. She was sobbing, 266 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 2: and every single one around us, like I had Amy 267 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 2: Klobachar next to me, and Chuck Schumer on the other 268 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: side of her, and Tammy Baldwin and they I could 269 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: I could feel them in tense up. They knew that 270 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: it was wrong to sit there. They knew it. You 271 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 2: could feel it. You could see it in their body language. 272 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: But they also you could see the mental calculations going 273 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 2: on in their head of well if I stand you know, oh, 274 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: you know that is what is so broken about the Left. 275 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: They are willing to forsake American lives. They're willing to 276 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 2: actually see people lose their life for their political agenda. 277 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: That is just absurd. You don't get into public service 278 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: for that. If that's the case, then you're just chasing 279 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: titles and you're the most egotistical person on the planet. 280 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 2: I think that's what the American people are really seeing 281 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: in this moment. And the best part about when President 282 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: Trump asked, if you stand for Americans, please stand up 283 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: in the chamber, or if you are going to prioritize illegals, 284 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: stay seated. The world saw that moment. They saw that moment. 285 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. Will continue next on 286 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. I mean, that night was all 287 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: about standing for America. If you can't stand for the 288 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: US hockey team, you are not standing for America. And 289 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: they're not. I mean you talk about their lack of 290 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: concern over arena, but they're not the Party of Life. 291 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: And they have really proven that in a totally different 292 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: way this year because we have seen murder after murder, 293 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: We've seen Donald Trump stop these murders. They couldn't stand 294 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: for that either, he said, murderer is down. They couldn't 295 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: stand for that, they couldn't celebrate that, but we saw 296 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: the backlash after Roe v. Wade. I will just say 297 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: this morning, as I'm coming into work, I see that 298 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: New Jersey just passed, just got it approved to have 299 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: assisted suicide in the state, and I think, oh my gosh, 300 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: this is where we're going, Like, this is where we're going. 301 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: And you see what's happened in Canada. You have parents 302 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: who had twenty five year old kids that were suicidal 303 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: and they couldn't get to them in time, and the 304 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: state lets them or the country lets them commit suicide, 305 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: legally commit suicide, and they help them do it. And 306 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be elderly people who 307 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: can't take care of themselves, This is going to be 308 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: people who don't want to have to deal with a 309 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: special needs kid. This is just acceptable murder. Now. I'm 310 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: just shocked by this party, but I do think they 311 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: will do anything, anything possible to stay in power. And 312 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: the latest is that they don't want to see the 313 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: Save America Act past. And I just think the Save 314 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: Act is so critical right now and there's nothing more 315 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: clear to me than they are cheating. We know we've 316 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: had non citizens vote in the state of Michigan. How 317 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: do they possibly get away. You've got Hillary Clinton, You've 318 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: got Hillary Skolton in my own district, who is saying 319 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: married women won't be able to vote. Well, you can't 320 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: get a real idea. I mean, how many married women 321 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: aren't flying on airplanes? 322 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: This is just a lie, it is I mean again, 323 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: it's the entire agenda of the left has been dependency 324 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: and control. They want to make people dependent on big 325 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 2: government programs so that they, the big government advocates, they 326 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: stay in control. It's not one particular policy over the other, 327 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 2: but they always do it with this campaign of where 328 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 2: the compassionate ones right? They pretend to care. There is 329 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 2: nothing compassionate about killing babies. There is nothing compassionate about 330 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,719 Speaker 2: open borders. There is nothing compassionate about soft on crime 331 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 2: or no cash bail policies. There is nothing compassionate about 332 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 2: their radical policies. Nothing. And then to actually tell people, 333 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 2: and and I know you've been such an advocate and 334 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 2: a leader on this, in protecting women's sports and protecting 335 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: women in general, to say we're going we're going to 336 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: go ahead and go along with your mental disorder, and 337 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 2: we're gonna jeopardize our girls and put boys in their 338 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 2: private spaces, at their locker rooms, and then we're going 339 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 2: to endanger them and put them up again men and 340 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: force them to compete. It's dangerous. It is not compassionate. 341 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 2: It is actually cruel. Their policies are rooted in cruelty. 342 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: And I think people are waking up to that. You 343 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,719 Speaker 2: mentioned the Save Act. We have seen countless people on 344 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: the left come out and say married women will not 345 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: be able to vote. We're disenfranchising women. I'm sorry, would 346 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: you please stop talking to us as though we are 347 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: morono like? I am also second tired of the left 348 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 2: treating us like one we are single issue voters and 349 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: two that we are idiots. 350 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: For them to go out. 351 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 2: And say that women are not smart enough to get 352 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 2: a real id I'm just blown away by that. Is 353 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 2: the messaging that they all sat around in a room 354 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: and were like, yeah, Bob, let's go after that. That's 355 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 2: what we're gonna go with. I mean, my gosh, they 356 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: just treat people like they're idiots. And again, I think 357 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: people are waking up to it. But beyond that, they say, oh, 358 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: this isn't necessary because it never happens. I'm sorry, weren't 359 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 2: they the original election deniers that you know. I remember 360 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 2: back in two thousand and six, two thousand and six, 361 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 2: I kept hearing people say this is we're not going 362 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: to certify the election, this is an illegitimate when you 363 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 2: know all this stuff, right, I just I love how 364 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 2: it's come full circle and now they're saying it's not 365 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 2: a problem, never mind that the facts tell a different story. 366 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 2: Nineteen states issue driver's licenses to non citizens, and of 367 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 2: those nineteen states, fifteen actually do automatic voter registration. When 368 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: you're at the DMV and they're like, well, there's a 369 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 2: there's a check box, I'm like, oh, don't let that 370 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 2: little checkbox of you know, I attest that I'm a 371 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: US citizen that never gets verified and never gets checked 372 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 2: or anything. Right, never let that stop anybody. My gosh, 373 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 2: do they think we are morons? I just know I 374 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: think you there's nothing to fear, then they should vote 375 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: for this. 376 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: Right. 377 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 2: That's where I'm at. 378 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: You have to have a real idea to travel. And 379 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: I've never gone through the airport and been like, there 380 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: are only men here, there are only men. 381 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 2: How did you get on that plane? Shoot? 382 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: Or how did you figure out how to get out exactly. 383 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: I don't walk on a plane and people are like, 384 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what how is a woman in here? 385 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: Like this is just stunny. Really quick, Before I let 386 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: you go, I do want to mention there's been a 387 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 1: little bit of a discussion lately about this congressional slush 388 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: fund that was used for years to pay off victims 389 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: of congressmen and women who were victims of any sort, 390 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: but a lot of times sexual assault victims, and it 391 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: was taxpayer money that went. We've never gotten the details, 392 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: we've never gotten the names. A few of you have 393 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: come out and said you want that to be released. 394 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: I'm with you absolutely. I don't know why this is 395 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: a thing at all. When you're in public service, you're 396 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: held to a higher standard, and there should never have 397 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: been a slush fund that was used to pay off 398 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: victims to settle these ridiculous cases, many, I'm sure are 399 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: her rrific examples of sexual harassment. 400 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 2: And we are very, very eager to see what the 401 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,479 Speaker 2: details of these settlements are because there is such a 402 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: distrust in Washington. We've talked about a lot of the 403 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 2: reasons why I think this is a good first step 404 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 2: in restoring some of that transparency and accountability in Washington. 405 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: We need to stand with people who have been silenced, 406 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 2: and it's just how wildly inappropriate that taxpayer money is 407 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 2: being used. You know, that's like the final insult to 408 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: injury on this entire case. But I think we have 409 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 2: to hold ourselves to a higher standard. I've been willing 410 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: to call out the balls and strikes on both sides. 411 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: If it's our own side, if it's Republicans that are 412 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 2: doing it, you know what, you shouldn't be serving. I mean, 413 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 2: I've got colleagues on my side that I believe should 414 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 2: not be serving because they have really disgraced the office. 415 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 2: They've done things that are illegal, inappropriate, and they shouldn't 416 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 2: be there, just like I've said the same thing about 417 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 2: my colleagues on the left. We have to get back 418 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 2: to a place of this. There is a higher standard 419 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 2: when you're serving the people, and people need to live 420 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 2: up to it every day. I think transparency in sunlight 421 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 2: is the best option moving forward, and I'm going to 422 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: be standing with all my colleagues who are fighting to 423 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 2: get these these files on earthed and released because I 424 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 2: think it's really important. 425 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: It is very important, and I appreciate your willingness to 426 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: do that because not many people are willing to speak 427 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: out against their own colleagues and that that is a 428 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: huge step. Thank you so much. Thank you for everything 429 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: you're doing. Thank you for standing up and showing us 430 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: the joy of being a person who serves our country 431 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: and serves our country with such excitement. We appreciate you 432 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: so much. Congress Woman kat Kamak, thank you so much. 433 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: I appreciate you do to have a great day. 434 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: Thanks you too, and thank you all for joining us 435 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: on the podcast.
