1 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast and Happy New Year. 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: I have Kyle Olsen with me today and Sarah Broadwater, 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: and we are talking all things new in this year, which, 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: as crazy as this is, a lot has already happened 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: and we are just into the new year. Obviously we're 6 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: watching everything political, but certainly these terror attacks as well. 7 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: We know that the one in New Orleans is being 8 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: considered a terror attack. I don't know that they are 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: officially considering Las Vegas a terror attack at this point. 10 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: I think that one's still a bit of a confusion 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: of what people think about that. 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: There's a lot of I don't know, it's both of 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 2: them are very strange. I mean, I would make the 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 2: case that, I mean, anytime you're attempting to use those 15 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: sorts of tactics, that is terrorism. I don't care if 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: it's the person is American or not, that it's terrorism. 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: But yes, the the FBI simply watching what the FBI 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: has been saying and not saying, and immediately coming out 19 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: and saying this was not a terrorist incident. In all 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 2: of that, it just makes people, again, I think, question 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: what exactly we're being told and should we believe it? 22 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that as we watch well the situation 23 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: outside of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. If you look 24 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: at that, you have this guy who's on leave from 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: active duty. He supposedly, we believe that whoever this was 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: in the truck, if this was him, he rented this 27 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: truck and then drove it just to the hotel with 28 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: fireworks and gas cans in the trunk, kills himself, somehow 29 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: shoots himself in the head, and somehow after he shoots 30 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: himself in the head, he detonates this truck bomb. I 31 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: don't know. Is there something set up that once you die, 32 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: it detonates. I don't understand it. Nobody seems to fully 33 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: understand it, because apparently this guy has a new baby 34 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: at home, he's married, he's on leave, comes home, and 35 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: supposedly also was a Trump fan. Why the cyber truck 36 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: in front of the Trump Hotel. It just I think 37 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people are going, Wow, this story really 38 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: doesn't add up. And he just happened to also conveniently 39 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: be traveling with his military ID and his passport, and 40 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: he is unrecognizable. But those two things are fine, you 41 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: can read them perfectly. It's very, very weird. 42 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: Well, and the fact that they so quickly found out 43 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: he was a Trump supporter, and I think it's on 44 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 3: the headline of Drudge even today that oh, he's a 45 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 3: maga Trump supporter. The whole thing is just weird because 46 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: when you look at other I mean the Nashville shooter, 47 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 3: any of those other things, it takes us usually weeks 48 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 3: to find any of these details out. Why did we 49 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: know it all within like twelve to twenty four hours, 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: But then it's still not entirely you're not sure what's 51 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: accurate and what's not. 52 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 2: Some details we still don't know. I mean, he's mentioned Nashville. 53 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: We still have not seen the manifesto, and at least 54 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: they have not released the manifesto. It's been leaked. Portions 55 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: of it have been leaked. But there's a lot of 56 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: details in a lot of these cases that we the 57 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: public is never told. But yet there's pictures of the vehicle. There, 58 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: I saw a picture yesterday of his gun that he 59 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: supposedly used. There's pictures of his ID and his passport. 60 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: So that is all coming out. It just seems very 61 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: It just seems like the FBI is very selective in 62 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: what it's choosing to share with people, which again is 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: not helping anything now. 64 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: But it seems crazy that all of these we have 65 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: the pictures of the truck, we have the pictures inside, 66 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: we have pictures of the guy in New Orleans shot 67 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: on the ground. We have all of this coming out, 68 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: and everybody's like, what's the real story? Was the Trump 69 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: Tower an attack on Trump Tower? Was this some sort 70 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: of a statement? What was that? But then you talk 71 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: about how much information we're lacking from everything else that 72 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: has happened. I believe in the last four years under Biden, 73 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: it's been a very mysterious FBI And then you see 74 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: a couple days ago the New York Post is walking 75 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: through this guy's house in the New Orleans shooter's house 76 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: in Houston, just after the FBI was in there. I'm 77 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: totally flabbergasted by this. I cannot imagine that it's not 78 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: on lockdown with guards. This is an active crime scene. 79 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: This man killed at least fifteen people. There's in total, 80 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: what it's dozens of people that are in the hospital. 81 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: We don't know how many people will lose their life 82 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: because of this, the untold damage in that community and 83 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: the families, And yet what is it like to have 84 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: a reporter be able to walk into his home with 85 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: a camera and show us everything in the How can 86 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: that be a safe crime scene? How can they actually 87 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: investigate if the entire public has seen inside of this 88 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: man's house, what is going on? 89 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: There's the safety aspect, But then the other thing I'm 90 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: trying to figure out is there are comms teams that work, 91 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 3: I mean massive comms arms that work for the FBI 92 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: and these local agencies and all these things that run 93 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 3: the press conferences and that would feasibly be controlling access 94 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 3: to the crime scene. So did they just totally seed 95 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 3: that is this part of their strategy? Like I don't 96 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: understand the strategy if it is. Like I'm not saying 97 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: that I agree with it in any way, but I'm like, 98 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: is did they just totally see any responsibility and any 99 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: job for this, Because That's what I'm confused by, is like, 100 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: why would you even allow the reporter in there unless 101 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: you had a goal with what she was going to 102 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 3: show you or that was somehow going to make the 103 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 3: narrative under make sense to people. But I'm just more 104 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 3: confused by it all. 105 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: Well, it seems to me, and I mean, we only 106 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: see what's in the video. But it seems to me 107 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: like it's not guarded, it's not cordon off, it's not 108 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: there's no sign that says this is a active or 109 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 2: this is a crime scene and you know it's illegal 110 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: or unlawful to enter. It doesn't seem like there's any 111 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 2: of them. I mean, the door was not even the 112 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: door was like, well, it wasn't attached, but it was 113 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 2: just sort of sitting there, and she just literally walked 114 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 2: right in. 115 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 3: Well, and the reporter was also clearly not briefed or 116 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 3: given any information either, because she also was walking around 117 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 3: in a very confused manner like, oh my goodness, there's 118 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: clothes here, he. 119 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 4: Must live here. It was the whole thing. 120 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: Well, that was hard being without ridiculous. Yes, I mean 121 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 1: she's walking through someone's house and she's like, this looks 122 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: like a workstation. I thank you. I mean I think 123 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: she's clearly trying to be like, look I got a scoop. 124 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: I mean, part of me is like, are you getting 125 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: arrested for breaking and entering? Because even the door was open, 126 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: Like you can't just walk into a crime scene. 127 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 5: It was already broken when she entered. 128 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess so, Well, I mean, you can't do that, though. 129 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 5: I wouldn't think so. I wouldn't think so. 130 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: But and she's also sort of you know, she was 131 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: sort of bewildered that the whole place was a mess. 132 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: Well, they got it cost by, that's not exactly a surprise. 133 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: And then the warrant was literally right on the counter, 134 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: So it's not a surprise that doors were still open. 135 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: But it is shocking to me that you can put 136 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: a warrant on camera like that and put it out 137 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: like that doesn't hurt the investigation that she's going through. Oh, 138 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: here's his koran, and here's the verse it's open to like, 139 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: these are all things that seem very pertinent to what happened. 140 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: And here's his workstation, and she's just showing us everything 141 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: that's there. I just it's just it seems to me 142 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: like somebody at the FBI loses their job over this. 143 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: How do you leave most places? And even like if 144 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: you break down the door, you secure the house. How 145 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,119 Speaker 1: could you not secure it? 146 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 5: That's right? 147 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 3: Well, you talk about also all how does this interfere 148 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 3: with the investigation. That's what we were told from the 149 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 3: very beginning press conferences. It was like, well, we can't 150 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: answer anything because this will interfere, right, trust us. But 151 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 3: then she just walks in there. That's what None of 152 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: it makes sense. 153 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: And I mean as much as I think she should 154 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: not have been able to walk in there, I mean, 155 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: she's a reporter, so she's I guess, going to do 156 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: whatever she wants to do, and she's going to say 157 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: whatever she wants to say. Where the heck was the 158 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: FBI to say you're not walking in here. I mean, 159 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: this is it's very, very mind boggling to me, and 160 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: I I mean, obviously we're watching this. I think what 161 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: happened in New Orleans is devastating the fact that every 162 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: story you hear it was like a young kid too. 163 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: I mean, not that it is easier to take if 164 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: it's anyone else, but my gosh, all of these people 165 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: were like early twenties families, just devastated. Future's gone. It's 166 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: it's like, I am so sad that our country starts 167 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: the year with their terror attack after we heard for 168 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: the last four years from Christopher Ray that we were 169 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: under red alert because it was such a high probability 170 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: of having a terror attack on US soil, and it 171 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: was one of our own I mean, that's the other 172 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: shocking situation. What the heck is happening at Fort Bragg? 173 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: And if you already know, you've had all these deaths there, 174 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: You've had these guys that have had mental issues there. 175 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: If you already know, why are you watching everybody that's 176 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: come out of there? And then you see one of 177 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: your soldiers who is posting things that are getting darker 178 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: and darker over the years. What is happening with Central Command? 179 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: I mean, where are the leaders that are saying, Man, 180 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: we've got somebody who looks like they're being radicalized And 181 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: maybe it's easier to say in hindsight, but feels like 182 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: something we should have a handle on. 183 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 4: Well. 184 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 3: And I think if you look at the demeanor of 185 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: like Senator Kennedy and some others, they clearly there's a 186 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 3: lot that we don't know. 187 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 4: But there's something very dark we don't know. 188 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: Based on the way that Senator Kennedy's been speaking in 189 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 3: press conferences and in interviews, there's something either more that 190 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 3: is to come, or that they think is to come, 191 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 3: or that they know and they didn't tell us. So 192 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: I would be very interested to see over the next 193 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: month how he continues to respond because he clearly heard 194 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 3: something in the brief that struck him. But I mean, 195 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 3: the one guy was literally posting on Facebook. I think 196 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 3: it was hours before probably, but that's still enough time 197 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 3: for law enforcement to respond that he had joined ISIS. 198 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 3: And so it comes back again to tech companies and 199 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 3: all these things. Is our government just literally relying on 200 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 3: citizens at this point to do the work for them 201 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 3: and report, which is a big part of it. But 202 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 3: where does the tech company come in then and say 203 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: we took this post down because we deemed it a 204 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 3: like we flagged. 205 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but community community notes can be on something 206 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: in like twenty minutes. If community notes can be on 207 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: something in twenty minutes, then I mean, do we have 208 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: to have Elon Musk put something in some sort of 209 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: AI and the FBI give me a break, like they 210 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: don't have their own community notes? I mean really, how 211 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: can they see something instantaneously? I mean it's like the 212 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: president Carter, is he dead yet? Watch and they're like no, 213 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: and then community notes is like yes, you know. I mean, 214 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: they are on things more so than people who are 215 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: watching something every day. If community notes can do this, 216 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: why does the FBI seem to have and I'm not 217 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: and I get it's not minority report, and you're not 218 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: able to like, you know, Okay, somebody might think something, 219 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: we can't go arrest you based on the fact that 220 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: you have these thoughts. But there are certain people that 221 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: you feel like should be watched. And also if they 222 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: are military, why isn't there a group that's like, hey, 223 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: we got to go find out what happened. I mean, 224 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: this is somebody who was dealing with the it dealing. 225 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: I mean, he has an award for the War on Terror, 226 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: so obviously he was close to the issues on the 227 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: ground when he was deployed in Afghanistan. Is it possible 228 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: that one of our own got turned? You know, should 229 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: you be why can't how could you not be watching that? 230 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 2: In terms of the information that's available, you know, there 231 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: I saw reporting that that Ela Musk was providing video 232 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 2: at the charging stations of where this guy charged his 233 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 2: charge the truck, and there was video obviously available from 234 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: the truck itself. 235 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: Yep. 236 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: So there is a lot of and I'm not saying 237 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 2: the government should have access to that, you know, in 238 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: real like, you know, in real time for no reason, 239 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: but there is a lot of data and technology and 240 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: all of that that's available that you would think that 241 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 2: they would have figured out by now how to intervene 242 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: in more real time in these sorts of situations. 243 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: Let's take a quickmmercial break. Will continue next on the 244 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: Tutor Dixon podcast. And when you're posting on a public platform, 245 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the reality is that we use Facebook and 246 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: Twitter and all of these Everybody uses them. If you're 247 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: hiring someone, you look at their profile. Everybody is constantly 248 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: using them to get information. I mean they sell their 249 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: information because information is a currency. It has value, right, 250 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: So if information can be transferred so quickly and you 251 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: choose to put this on a public forum like that, 252 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: then why shouldn't that be something that is the main 253 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: way you monitor what people are planning if they're planning 254 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: an attack, because we know that just like national intelligence 255 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: gets it the chatter through all these different lines that 256 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: they're following. I mean, this is the ultimate it's the 257 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: ultimate chat room. You know, everything on social media is 258 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: telling us exactly what people are planning to do. 259 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 3: I can't decide which one I'm actually more frightened of 260 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 3: because the minunderstanding is that the FBI said they had 261 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 3: no record on this guy So is it more frightening 262 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 3: when we have a record on a person and we 263 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 3: didn't catch it, or the fact that we completely missed it? 264 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 5: Which one in the first one second. 265 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 3: I believe it's the New Orleans guide they had. The 266 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: FBI claimed they didn't have any like they never saw 267 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: this coming. So it's very I mean, that's pretty crazy 268 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: to me. 269 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: The fact that and someone who worked in intelligence or 270 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: worked in it in Afghanistan in the War on Terror, 271 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: and I think you should say, all of those people 272 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: are we consider anybody who goes over and fights for us, 273 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: whether they're on the ground or they're behind a computer 274 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: and they're deployed, they are patriots, but they're also vulnerable. 275 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: And so why aren't you watching the folks that could 276 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: be in a vulnerable situation like that? I mean, it's 277 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: it's a terrible situation. It's devastating. I think that right 278 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: now we're trying to recover from four years of chaos. 279 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: We had a military that was more focused on parents 280 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: who were concerned about having books that were actually age 281 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: appropriate and calling them domestic terrorists, rather than watching what 282 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: was actually happening in chat rooms online, which is where 283 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: their focus should have been. But it's political decisions. It's 284 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: a constant political decision, and I just A'm hoping that 285 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: we get away from political leadership and we see true 286 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: we see true leadership in Donald Trump. And that's what 287 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: I watch, even these last few days of Biden's presidency, 288 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: all of these bizarre pardons and commutations. I'm like, what 289 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: is he doing? I mean, we had a woman in 290 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: Michigan whose daughter was raped and murdered. Then I think 291 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: that her and she knew she was in danger, and 292 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: they still let this guy out and he killed her, 293 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: and he was on death row and he commutes his sentence, 294 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: and the mother's like, why why this guy? He hunted 295 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: my daughter down and killed and murdered her like she 296 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: was an animal. I mean, why this guy? And I 297 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: just look at the damage that he's causing. And I 298 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: see this latest situation where he's blocking the deal with 299 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: US Steel, and I know that, you know, people across 300 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: the country are like, oh, this is good because we 301 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: don't want Japan to own US Steel. I think it's 302 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think part of it is any company 303 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: with the name US is very hard to think, well, 304 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: it's not going to be US Steel. There is a 305 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: reality here that we are severely lacking resources in the 306 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: steel industry and just coming through and using executive powers, 307 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: which they're even going, gosh, I don't even know if 308 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: he has these executive powers. I mean, people today are saying, 309 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: is this legal? Do they have a battle here? Because 310 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: can the president go in and block a deal like 311 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: this with an allied country? And that I think that 312 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: is a good question. Certainly, we are very concerned about 313 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: China being in Michigan. We've been very concerned about the 314 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: taxpayer money going to them. The steel industry is so 315 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: critical to our ability to protect ourselves, and I'm not 316 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: saying that it is a good idea to just give 317 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: our US steel manufacturing over to a Japanese company. My 318 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: problem with the Democrats is that they make decisions and 319 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: they never understand the consequences. If US steel cannot survive 320 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: without a buyer, did he just cause the death of 321 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: the steel industry in the United States, and therefore we 322 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: have no ability to make our military equipment, We have 323 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: no ability to manufacture in Our independence is severely lacking. 324 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: If you just cut off a deal with no plan 325 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: for the future, and you close an entire industry in 326 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: the United States, which is very likely it could happen 327 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: if you do not think this through. Do I think 328 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form, he understands this. No, 329 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: this is a political decision because it's Pennsylvania, and he's like, oh, 330 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: I'm not going to let a foreign country come into Pennsylvania. 331 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: He doesn't care about Michigan because he's letting the CCP 332 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: purchase land in Michigan. So think about that. When we 333 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: went to the Biden administration and said stop the Goshen deal, 334 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: Oh no, I have no jurisdiction here, but right now 335 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: he's going to stop this having no idea the consequences. 336 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: I mean similar, I just asked the American people to 337 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: think about how things are occurring right now, the government 338 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: ultimate power going in stopping this deal. Does he then 339 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: think the government is going to run nip On steel 340 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: or US steel or what does he think will actually 341 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: happen now? I mean, look at Michigan. We just got 342 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: the notice that Governor Whitmer is authorizing the teardown of 343 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: four hundred acres or three hundred acres how much over 344 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: four hundred acres of forest to put up solar panels. 345 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: Anybody who believes that you are saving the environment by 346 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: tearing down the forests. I mean, I'm like, where are 347 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: the environmentalists that are going This doesn't seem to make 348 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: very much sense. People, elections matter. You have to hire 349 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: people for these jobs that understand industry, and I cannot 350 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: emphasize that enough, Like the hot shot tech guy doesn't 351 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: understand the average hard working American who what they do 352 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: is make pieces of equipment that make the world go round. 353 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: If you don't have the steel industry and you you 354 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: don't have I mean, my gosh, if you just cut 355 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: down all your forests and you have no steel industry 356 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: and you're just covered in solar panels, I hate to 357 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: tell you, the future is pretty bleak. And I cannot 358 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: be more serious about this right now because I see 359 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: people going, We're going to put all of our eggs 360 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: into this popular basket of this tech ceo or this 361 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: guy who made a quick three hundred million dollars. Anybody 362 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: who made a quick three hundred million dollars. I give 363 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: you credit if you're thirty years old and you did that, 364 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: but there is also something to be said about the 365 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: people who put in their time understanding that when you 366 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 1: make a product that goes into a harvester, when you 367 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: make a product that goes into a piece of construction equipment, 368 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: when you make a valve that it goes into a 369 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: pipeline that delivers gas to areas of the country that 370 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't otherwise never see it. There is a difference and 371 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: what you understand about how the world works. Then the 372 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: person who just had a really great gambling app and 373 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 1: now it's not to take anything away from that person, 374 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: but you have to understand a person's history to understand 375 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: how they will look at the future, because what you've 376 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: learned in your life will determine how you treat the future. 377 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: And I just feel like we've got some serious lack 378 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,239 Speaker 1: in our politicians. There's a serious lack of understanding of 379 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: what the future is going to be. 380 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: So why so John Fetterman, I think, has been one 381 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: of the most outspoken people opposed to the Japanese company 382 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 2: buying US deal. What is their alternative? 383 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: Well, that's the question for these guys. What is your 384 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: solution if it is that you are not going to 385 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: allow this purchase to go through. And I'm not saying 386 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: that that is the answer, but what is the answer? 387 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: Do you have a US buyer. Do you have somebody 388 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: that I mean, are you going to somehow negotiate a 389 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: different deal to keep the steel mill open. I know 390 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump has talked about tariffs, but there's a point, 391 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: and I talk about this from experience, there's a point 392 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: when competition gets so great that you don't have time 393 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: to try to see if the next five years or 394 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: if tariffs are going to help you. You need to 395 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: either close shop and sell or you're going into bankruptcy. 396 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: You know, there's and it is a very volatile industry 397 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: that has been taken over by the Chinese. And by 398 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,479 Speaker 1: I mean the Chinese can make the steal faster than 399 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: we can. They have They've put up multiple foundries, they 400 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: have no environmental controls. They just pour the coal plants 401 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: into the country. They have no energy restrictions because they 402 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: don't care about the environment. So you're competing with some 403 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: of the sleaziest people on earth who are willing to 404 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 1: destroy the destroy the world. They're willing to sell crappy 405 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: steel and it's crappy steal, that's the other thing. You 406 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: get it, and it's not what they said it was 407 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: going to be. And what's the recourse? So it's destroying 408 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: the quality of all of our products, and yet nobody 409 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: is thinking about this. I can tell you nobody has 410 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: been thinking about this on a federal level at the 411 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: level they should be for at least a decade, if 412 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: not more, because under Obama more steel foundries closed than 413 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: any other president, and since that time we've become more 414 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: and more vulnerable. And US steel deciding to sell isn't 415 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: an overnight thing. It's because it's an industry that is 416 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: in decline because of the impact of what's happening around 417 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: the world, and tariffs might have been helping that situation 418 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: when Donald Trump was in the first time, because I 419 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: know I worked at a steel mill at that point. Yeah, 420 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: they were like, holy cow, suddenly we're rolling in it. 421 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: It's great, we're the top dog again. But that won't 422 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: happen overnight. And if US steals in trouble, I mean, 423 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: I don't know their financial situation. I just think it 424 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: is shocking to see Joe Biden not have us an 425 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: opinion on this, and then here we are in the 426 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: eleventh hour and he's like blocking the deal. 427 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 2: It's I'm just an observer who is not an expert 428 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 2: at any of this but it's strange to me, and 429 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting that the government. I mean, we've had 430 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 2: government bailouts of other industries before, but it seems to 431 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 2: me like steel production is a critical industry and it's 432 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: something that we need not only for national security, but 433 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 2: just to keep continuing as a country. And so we 434 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 2: don't see the government saying we're going to help here, 435 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 2: but we do see the government. You take Michigan, for example, 436 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 2: and you mentioned Goshen, whether it's the seven hundred and 437 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: fifteen million dollars of Michigan taxpayer money that Gratua Witmer 438 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 2: wants to give to wants to give to Goshen, or 439 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 2: the or billion dollars that she gave to Cattle which 440 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: is working with Ford. So she's so in total, she's 441 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 2: given over two billion dollars of Michigan tax pair dollars 442 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: to these two Chinese companies. One in particular is documented 443 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 2: links to the CCP, and everybody knows if it's a 444 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: Chinese company, it's a link to the CCP. But we've 445 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,479 Speaker 2: documented that. And so she's willing to give two billion 446 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 2: dollars to that which is federal most of its federal 447 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 2: funds by the way. So they're willing to bring the 448 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: Chinese into America, but yet to protect and defend an 449 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: existing US company that's been around for generations. 450 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: Right, Well, jail we bailed out the auto industry. Now, 451 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: I will tell you the bailout of the auto industry 452 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: has made a situation where it seems as though the 453 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,239 Speaker 1: auto industry believes that we owe them every year, and 454 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: we do in Michigan because we have this tax deal 455 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: with them where we cut them a check every year 456 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: and we pay for them to stay in existence, and 457 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: the alternate. I think the effect of that is that 458 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: when the government went to them and said you now 459 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: have to change over to ev vehicles, what choice do 460 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: they have. I mean, they are essentially owned by the people. However, 461 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: the people don't get to make the decisions. They're owned 462 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: by the politicians. The people pay for them to stay 463 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: in existence, they're owned by the politicians. Vehicles are important. 464 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: It's important for the state of Michigan. Obviously, it's a 465 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: national security issue from the standpoint of we don't want 466 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: to have only Chinese vehicles in the United States. So 467 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 1: I think it's important that we continue to have an 468 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: auto industry. The national security implications of not being able 469 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: to make our own steal, I would say, or even higher. 470 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: What is the alternative? Is this something where you have 471 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: to have a legitimate sit down and say, what are 472 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: your shortfalls? Where do you need help? Do we need 473 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: to have the government step been as a bailout? I 474 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: don't like that idea. I don't like the idea of 475 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: the government be involved in private businesses and businesses in general. 476 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: But I also don't like the idea of closing down 477 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: an industry. I've seen how it hurt steel foundries. Steel 478 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: mills are also few and far between. Stay tuned. We'll 479 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: have more in a minute, But first I want to 480 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: talk about Patriot Mobile.

We need to understand the crippling effect of 504 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: putting ourselves in a situation of not being able to manufacture. 505 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: De industrialization is crushing this country. People think it's so great, 506 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: like everybody is obsessed with the tech world because they 507 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: see dollar signs. There's no security in that. This is 508 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: the problem. If you do not understand industrialization and why 509 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: it is important. If you are a fan of de 510 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: industrialization and you believe that factories are dirty and you 511 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: can live without them, you are living in a la 512 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: la land that you do not understand, and you are 513 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: some of the most dangerous people to have any control 514 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: in this country because it will ultimately take us down. 515 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: But you all know that I say this all the 516 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: time because you work here. 517 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,479 Speaker 3: I personally just feel like at this point we are 518 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 3: a country that is like being held up by band 519 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 3: aids because we constantly just make rass decisions like this. 520 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 3: But all of those things that you just said, why 521 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 3: is there not a longer form conversation about it before 522 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 3: we make a decision like Joe Biden in his final 523 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 3: days and then just say well, sorry, someone out here's 524 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 3: the bag to somebody else. We do that with literally everything. 525 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 3: I mean, Congress does it. With the budget. We just say, oh, well, 526 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 3: let's give another hundred million here, another hundred million there, 527 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 3: whatever it is. But we never actually take time to 528 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 3: solve the problem. And so I think that's what a 529 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: lot of people are hopeful that Trump will do when 530 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,959 Speaker 3: he gets into the office, is let's actually break it 531 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 3: down to the bare bones. And I don't want to 532 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 3: say rebuild because we have a founding, but I mean 533 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 3: there has to be a little bit of. 534 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 4: That, and it's going to be painful for a. 535 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: While to save the country from the amount of debt 536 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: that we are in. There is going to be a 537 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: pain period and it's going to be more than four years, 538 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: and it's going to be tough. But countries fall if 539 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: they have no financial security and no ability to build 540 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: the products that defend themselves. I mean, it's just common sense, 541 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,239 Speaker 1: and I think it's been lost on this generation of 542 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: spoiled Americans. Like the last few generations, we've just been 543 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: so spoiled by the fact that we live in a 544 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: country that is the strongest country in the world, and 545 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: we just have been very pampered. And I think that 546 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: reality is about to strike, and I don't think we're 547 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: ready for reality. 548 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 4: And arguably the safest country in the world too. 549 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 3: I think that's when people see things like happen on 550 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 3: New Year's Eve, they forget that it wasn't necessarily always 551 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 3: like that, and that there were people that fought to 552 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: make it the way that it is. And so that's 553 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 3: where the whole respect factor comes back in well, and 554 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 3: I think. 555 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: If that had happened ten years ago, it would have 556 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: been a different reaction. People would still be reeling. There 557 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: would be people joining the military to fight against this 558 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: type of behavior, to go into intelligence to make sure 559 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: the country is safe. And I think that it's just 560 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: become a really selfish but not just selfish. I think 561 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people just hate the country, you know, 562 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: they've been taught to hate the country, and there's this 563 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: sentiment like, oh, well, you know what, we deserve it. 564 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: But I think that we are going to also see 565 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,959 Speaker 1: a bunch of people who are going to change and 566 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: say we've got to secure the border. We've got to 567 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: we have people coming across the northern border and the 568 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: southern border, and if we're not going to be honest 569 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: about it, then we can't stop the bleedings. So it's 570 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: not about making sure that we're not losing a few. 571 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: You know, we still have holes. We got to plug 572 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: all the holes. We've got to keep the country safe. 573 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we'll see with Donald Trump, 574 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: and he has a huge job ahead of him. People 575 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: always say, why why did he do this? Again, Well, 576 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: he believes that the country is at that turning point, 577 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: and he can be the person that will make that 578 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: turning point the right turn, the right direction, and I 579 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: believe that he will as well. And I think he's 580 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: putting great people into place, and I'm anxious to see 581 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: all of these people confirmed, but we shall see. I 582 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: know this is not like the most uplifting New Year's message, 583 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: but a lot has happened, has been kind of shocking, 584 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: and I think we're going to have I think the 585 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: next four years it's going to be like drinking from 586 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: a fire hose, but I'm hoping it's going to be 587 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: in a good way. And we will keep you posted 588 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: on that constantly here on the Tutor Dixon Podcast.
