1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,559 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. There is a lot 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: going on these days. Whether we are watching from a 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: global perspective or nationally, things are just really a mess. 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 2: But Congress is a special type of mess. Right now. 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: Republicans can't unite on a speaker, Democrats have members demanding 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: allegiance to Hamas, and one Krunger's woman, well, she treats 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: her staff so poorly they actually rebelled and taped. 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 2: Her and then leaked the. 9 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,159 Speaker 1: Audio so we could all experience the ugly side of 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: being a staffer in Washington, DC. And you thought carjackings 11 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: were the worst part, but turns out it's just the 12 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: working for certain Congress people. I have Rob Finnerty here 13 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: at the host of Wake Up America on Newsmax, to 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: break it all down. 15 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 3: Rob, welcome back, good to see you. How are you. 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 2: I'm good. It is good to see you too. Too bad. 17 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: We do have all these crazy things happening. 18 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: So I just want our audience to know we are 19 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: recording this on Tuesday. And I say that because everything 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: is happening so fast in the house, or maybe I 21 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: should rephrase that and say so slow. But the things 22 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: are happening. It's just not moving forward. So potentially by 23 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: the time you hear this on Wednesday, maybe there's a speaker. 24 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: I'm not holding my breath, though, what do you think, Rob. 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 3: I think we have a speaker before the end of 26 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 3: the day today it seems like I do. I do. 27 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: I actually I said that on the air this morning. 28 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 3: So no one had any idea this was going to 29 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 3: take twenty days for the House to figure this out. 30 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 3: I don't think any of the eight rebels so called rebels, 31 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: thought this was going to take this long. Right now, 32 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: it's between I think Mike Johnson of Louisiana and then 33 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 3: Tom Emmer, who's the majority with in the House. And 34 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: I think although I would prefer personally Mike Johnson, I 35 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 3: think Tom Emmer's going to be the guy ultimately that 36 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 3: pulls this off. And it's too bad because if that 37 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: was going to be the case, they probably could have 38 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: done that twenty days ago. They went through Steve Scalise, 39 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: they went through Jim Jordan. Mike Johnson is not somebody 40 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 3: that's got any issues with Donald Trump. If Donald Trump's 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 3: the nominee, if he becomes president in twenty twenty four, 42 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,639 Speaker 3: I don't know how well Emma and he will work together. 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 3: But it seems like that's the way this is trending 44 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 3: right now. 45 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: Yes he is. Now he's been voted through on the 46 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: secret ballot. 47 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: They did a roll call vote and they have more 48 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: people voting against him than Jim Jordan had. 49 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: So I just how do you think they get there? 50 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: Because we have these people that I. 51 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: Think just continued to say, oh yeah, I'm going to 52 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: play by the rules of the party, and then they don't. 53 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: And I think the frustrating part for people who understand 54 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: how government works is that you can break it. I mean, 55 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: this is a system that you can break. It is 56 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: the most effective and the most well functioning government in 57 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: the entire world. It benefits the people better than anyone else. 58 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: But we don't want to be the first generation to 59 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: break it, do we No? 60 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 3: And I think it's important. You know, I was not 61 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 3: a fan initially of getting rid of Kevin McCarthy, just 62 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: because I think there's a lot on the line right now. 63 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 3: And this happened this was before October seventh, So this 64 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: happened before everything in Israel, you know, two and a 65 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 3: half weeks ago, And at that time I thought to myself, 66 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 3: this is probably not the best thing for Republicans heading 67 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 3: into an election year. Now we're almost a year to 68 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 3: the day away from election day. Kevin McCarthy agreed to 69 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 3: this rule. Matt Gates, Nancy May so on and so forth, 70 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: everyone that gives them a hard time. Look, they just 71 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 3: paired up with two hundred and two Democrats and Kevin McCarthy. 72 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but we went through that five day I 73 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 3: think it was that. I think it was fifteen rounds 74 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: back in January that that slugfest to get him the 75 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: gavel in the first place. His hold on the speakership 76 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: was tenuous at best, and he made a bad deal 77 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 3: and the chickens came home to roost, and here we 78 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: are nine months later without a speaker. So I wasn't 79 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: a fan, But now looking at this process unfold, I 80 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 3: don't think anyone thought it was going to take three weeks. 81 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: I think the House has hit sort of a fulcroom 82 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: point and they all realized that all right, on November seventeenth, 83 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: the government could shut down. Joe Biden wants to spend 84 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: billion dollars in a massive, too big to fail package 85 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: that includes I think Taiwan, the border, Israel, Tudor Dixon's 86 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: roof repairs and also another sixty billion for Ukraine, so 87 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: they know they have to address that. So I really, honestly, 88 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: I think by the time everyone listens to this Wednesday, 89 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 3: we have a Speaker of the House. 90 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: I hope. So I was also I was in the 91 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: same boat as you with Kevin McCarthy, and I think 92 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 2: a lot of people, I mean especially I know a 93 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 2: lot of folks in the grassroots movement that are on 94 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: Matt Gates side. 95 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: They wanted Kevin McCarthy out. And I understand that there's 96 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: that feeling that you needed somebody that was speaking for 97 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: the voice of the people. And I think that there 98 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: needs to be a little discussion. And we really don't 99 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: ever get into this on the news because there's not 100 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: enough time to get into this on the news. But 101 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: you have four hundred and thirty five members of Congress, 102 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: and you have more than half of those are Republicans. 103 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: Not every Republican comes from a strong red disc and 104 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is that whether you are 105 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: from that district or not, you have to be respectful 106 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: of your colleagues because you want them back in the House. 107 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we want more Republicans than Democrats, and I 108 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: know that that Sometimes people go, well, that's not everything 109 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: I want, But this system of government is compromised and 110 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: we have to make sure we're looking out for all 111 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: of us and getting back in because you only have 112 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: power in the majority, isn't that right? 113 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 3: Yeah? And I think Republicans have a great chance of 114 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 3: holding on to the majority in twenty twenty four. I 115 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 3: think this is a blip on the radar. Tragically, what 116 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 3: happened in Israel gave Republicans cover, and this is no 117 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 3: this hasn't been a front page store. I finally I 118 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 3: saw this weekend, all of a sudden, CNN, MSNBCA, they 119 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 3: were back to criticizing Republicans for not having a speaker 120 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 3: in place. But I think for about two weeks, Republicans 121 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: kind of had cover again. Unfortunately, given what we saw 122 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 3: play out in Israel. And no, no one wants to 123 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: see this happen. But we've got eighteen Republicans serving in 124 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: disc that Biden won. But there's also a slew of 125 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 3: Democrats that are serving in districts that Donald Trump won 126 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: in not only in twenty twenty, but also in twenty sixteen. 127 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: So that goes both ways, and I think given everything 128 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 3: Joe Biden's approval rating, the numbers. CNBC had a poll 129 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: last Thursday, He's at thirty eight percent, and Tutor, We've 130 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: talked about this before, but thirty eight percent basically as 131 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 3: low as you can go if you're a major party 132 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 3: nominee or candidate, because you've got a baked in base. 133 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: Donald Trump's got the same thing right now, he's the 134 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 3: leading candidate for the Republican nomination. Until that changes, that 135 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: thirty five to forty percent is his for the taking. 136 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 3: And it's the same thing with Joe Biden at thirty 137 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: eight percent. 138 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still a weird election when you have all 139 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: of the things that you have going on with the 140 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: Bidens behind the scene, with Donald Trump behind the scenes. 141 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, we're seeing him in these hearings, We're seeing 142 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: people plead guilty in Georgia to election interference. This is 143 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: going to be a very messy election. But I think that, honestly, 144 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: October seventh, what happened in Israel is going to be 145 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: very interesting and how that plays out over the next year. 146 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: Obviously we're going to be watching what's going on in 147 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: the Middle East and how involved we're going to get 148 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: We hear Anthony Blincoln coming out just in the press conference, 149 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: which will be yesterday. Now, that press conference that was 150 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: the hardest we've heard them talk about Iran yet. He 151 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: came out and he said, look, we don't want a war, 152 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: but if you press us, if you go after Israel, 153 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: we will come after you. Those are pretty strong words 154 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: that I believe that's the strongest we've heard the Biden administration. 155 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: And I think it's going to have to be from 156 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: someone other than Joe Biden, because Joe Biden is so 157 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: confused on the world stage. 158 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 2: Every time he goes out. 159 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they ask him about a ceasefire and he 160 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: kind of yells from the as he's walking out of 161 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: the room. Yeah, I'd like, well, oh no, wait a minute, 162 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: I only want when if we get the hostages back, 163 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: Like this is not the message, but the clear message 164 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: from Anthony Blincoln was if you attack Israel, we go 165 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: after you. What are your thoughts on that? 166 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: So, first of all, about the being worried about Joe Biden, 167 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: that's such a good point. And I think now, so 168 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 3: this is day seventeen, since October seventeenth, I think people 169 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 3: are finally now starting to process what happened. And then 170 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: on the other side of that, looking at us, we 171 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: are evacuating embassies across the Middle East. Why not reinforce 172 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: those embassies? What message does that send? Not only do 173 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: we have a carrier fleet times two in the Eastern Mediterranean, 174 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 3: we're sending one into the Persian Gulf. China is doing 175 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: the exact same thing. That shouldn't make anybody comfortable. I 176 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 3: think that leaves too much room for some miscalculation that 177 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 3: could lead us into World War two. And we've been 178 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: sleepwalking world War three, and we've been sleepwalking into World 179 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 3: War three since Joe Biden took office in January twenty 180 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: twenty one. To your point, though I'm glad we're finally 181 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: I don't think Joe Biden is capable of handling what's 182 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: going on, not only in Ukraine but in the Middle East. 183 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 3: What if he gets a phone call like the World 184 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 3: War three phone call that comes at three o'clock in 185 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: the morning, is he capable of addressing that situation if 186 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 3: that were to happen. I hope it doesn't, of course 187 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: we all hope it doesn't. But is he the guy 188 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 3: you want taking that call and making I'm sure the 189 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: answer is no. And look, elections have consequences. But Democrats, 190 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 3: even their worst nightmares, I don't think that they envisioned 191 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: where we are right now taking place. Tutor Joe Biden 192 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: takes office. Seven months later, Kable falls through that, Russia 193 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 3: invades Ukraine. Two and a half years later, there's a 194 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,359 Speaker 3: war in Israel. China has got really consequential elections in January. 195 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 3: Then after that, I think Taiwan could fall next. Do 196 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: you think that China's going to sit around and wait 197 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 3: for a Republican to take over in the Oval Office. 198 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 3: No way, They're going to do it while Joe Biden 199 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 3: is still in the Oval Office because they know he's vulnerable. 200 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 3: They know that they now is the time to take 201 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: advantage of a weak American president. 202 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely, they were waiting for this. 203 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: I totally agree with you, And honestly, you talk about 204 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: whether he's ready for that phone call. I was nervous 205 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: when he got on that plane to go to Israel 206 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: because in my mind I thought, you know, if the 207 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: Secret Service have to push him down and protect him, 208 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: aren't you worried about him being too frail to even 209 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: do that too? I mean, this guy, you can't get 210 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: him to run, he can't get out of the way 211 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: in time. 212 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 2: There's just there is no youth to him. 213 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that age has to be a factor, 214 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: but at some point we just have to be realistic 215 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: that this is not somebody who can go with the 216 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: flow in times like this. But then, I mean, I 217 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: have to say, on the flip side of that, we 218 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: are looking at a Republican candidate that is aged wise 219 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: nearly the same age. So and I know that people 220 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: are like, wow, it's a. 221 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: Totally different situation. But I think that there are some 222 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: people who are saying, do we need someone young in 223 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: office right now? As we're going into what looks like 224 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: it could tip off World War three? And we've seen 225 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of generals come out and 226 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 2: say this, we're not close to that yet, don't talk 227 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: about this. And I feel, I feel confident that there 228 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 2: is an amount of pause to take on that comment 229 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: right now, because I do think that we have to say, well, 230 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: wait a minute, we're just at the beginning of this. 231 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: Let's not freak everybody out. But when you step back 232 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: and you see what's happening on American soil, when I 233 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 2: talked about the congressmen and women who are out there 234 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: saying stand with Palestine, which I really say, if you 235 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: are out there saying that right now, you really mean 236 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: stand with Hamas because Israel didn't come out and attack 237 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: the Palestinians. They were trying to live with the Palestinians. 238 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 2: They have always been trying to broke her peace. They 239 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: have the Iron Dome. That was obviously they breached the 240 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: Iron Dome. They went in and they committed horrific atrocities. 241 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 2: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 242 00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. We come out right now and 243 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: talk about World War three while we have a nation 244 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: so divided on this, and you actually have I think 245 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 2: it was eighteen congressman who signed this letter saying we 246 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: need to stand with Palestine. Where are we what happens 247 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: on our soil? 248 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 3: Eighteen by the way, is that the number? 249 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: That was what I heard yesterday? Yeah, I mean that's 250 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: just that's that's what AOC said. 251 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 3: Well, that's just disturbing. Well, she's not one of the 252 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: brilliant minds, but I wouldn't be surprised by the way. 253 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 3: So I'm writing in op ed right now for Newsmax 254 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: dot com and it's about that issue. For the last 255 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 3: couple of years, I've said, fine, age, it's not a 256 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 3: chronological thing. Joe Biden's eighty or right, Trump's seventy seven. 257 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 3: I actually think I think it is a chronological thing. 258 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 3: My dad is eighty and we've had this conversation. My 259 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 3: dad's got all his marbles, all right, but I don't 260 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: even like my dad watching my kids. Okay, not that 261 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 3: he's not totally capable, but I've got a seven and 262 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: a four year old and their maniacs. But I would 263 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: would you trust Joe Biden to deliver the mail? Know 264 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 3: you wouldn't. 265 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: Well, he's on the beach in the middle of this, 266 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: and we're all just supposed to be like, how cute 267 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: they're holding hands. 268 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, you get back to the White House. 269 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: Dude, Seriously, I think it's a cross. I mean, yes, 270 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 3: I think it's time for younger male or female to 271 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 3: be in the Oval Office. I truly do believe that. 272 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: And I think the rest of the world what you're 273 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 3: seeing right now, I mean, this is certainly hasn't happened 274 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: in our lifetimes. Didn't happen even in Israel in twenty 275 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: fourteen with the last major conflict there. And what was 276 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 3: the second thing we were talking about. 277 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: I was on the role there standing with Palestine wonderful, 278 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: which I say is standing with Hamas. 279 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 2: Let's be clear, So. 280 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 3: You would and you mentioned the word fire. How many 281 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: times have you heard cease fire since October seventh? Like countless, 282 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: right every day on the How many times have you 283 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 3: heard ceaspire as it relates to Ukraine? 284 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: Right, that's interesting, right? 285 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 3: Or or peace talks or negotiated peace or any variation 286 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: of ceasefire. Twenty one months in counting, the New York 287 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 3: Times had the numbers hundreds of thousands dead and injured 288 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 3: on both sides. The carnage there, I mean, it is 289 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 3: as bad on the same level as what we've seen 290 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: in Israel. It's unbelievable. How many people have died or 291 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 3: have been wounded on the battlefield or innocent civilians in 292 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: Ukraine and we never hear ceasefire? What's that all about? 293 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 3: What sixty billion dollars? We finally looked into it, all right, 294 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: So since the late nineteen forties, the US has given 295 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 3: Israel something like one hundred and fifty billion dollars total 296 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 3: We've almost given that to Ukraine in twenty one months. 297 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 3: And if we do give them this sixty billion as 298 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: a part of that one hundred and five billion dollars 299 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 3: spending package that Joe Biden's calling for, we will have 300 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 3: surpassed what we've given Israel in eighty years, which is 301 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 3: pretty unbelievable. 302 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: Crazy. 303 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. 304 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: Well, and you know, we had some folks a few 305 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: weekends ago. We were at an event in Indiana, and. 306 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: These folks said, tell us, why you think that Ukraine 307 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: is any different than Israel? And I was there with 308 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: Buck Sexton. Obviously he is much more qualified to talk 309 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 2: on this subject than I am, but we both kind 310 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: of made the same point. 311 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: In Ukraine, you have Putin who is invading Ukraine because 312 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: he wants that land. The difference is he actually wants 313 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians to live there and be a part of Russia. Right, 314 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: he wants them to pledge allegiance to him, but he 315 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: wants them to live in Israel. The Palestinians or Hamas 316 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: they want to go in and they want to kill 317 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: the Jews. This is about killing Jews. And anybody who 318 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: say says that that's not what this is, that is 319 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: one hundred percent what this is. And when you hear 320 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: people say from the river to the sea, what does 321 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: that mean? It means wipe out the Jewish people. 322 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: I mean. 323 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: And the fact that we have young people on college 324 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: campus is saying this, they learn it from professors. 325 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: And you've got professors who are Jewish who are out 326 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: there on the front lawn of their universities begging people 327 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: not to do this. And you've got these Hamas sympathizers 328 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: who are also professors, who are out there telling people 329 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 2: their oppressors and this. You know, the interesting part about 330 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: that is it really started with the Dei movement in 331 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: k through twelve because they started with this idea of 332 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: oppression and you can't have these colonizers in your taking 333 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: over different territories. And I mean, it's all a lie 334 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: when it comes to Israel. 335 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, on Monday morning, the Israeli military gave select members 336 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 3: of the media access to something like forty three minutes 337 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 3: of unedited footage from what we saw play out on 338 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: October the seventh, and our correspondent was in the room 339 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 3: and came on with us at six thirty in the morning. 340 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 3: They're seven hours ahead of us, so it was you know, 341 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 3: two o'clock in the afternoon, almost there, and he started crying. 342 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 3: And his name's Daniel Cohen, and I've known him for 343 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 3: a few years now. He's always, you know, the consummate professional. 344 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 3: He's a father of three. And he started crying on 345 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 3: the air, and a hit that was scheduled to last 346 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 3: two minutes lasted for almost ten. And it was I mean, 347 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 3: it was difficult to get through what he saw. He 348 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 3: had a tough time describing tutor what he saw, even 349 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 3: just trying to sanitize it for our audience at home. 350 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 3: It was that bad. This is not You're right. Vladimir 351 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 3: Putin wants the Donbass region and he wants access to 352 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 3: the Black Sea. He probably wants all of Ukraine, but 353 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 3: he does want the people that are there now to 354 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,239 Speaker 3: continue living there and be incorporated into Russia. What we 355 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 3: saw October seventh, and what we've seen as long as 356 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 3: we've had this two state not solution, is they want 357 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 3: the complete eradication of the Jewish people. And what we're 358 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 3: seeing on college campuses, that's not the stuff that people 359 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 3: were protesting when I went to college. No, it wasn't 360 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 3: that that long ago. 361 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: I know, I know it mine was a little longer, 362 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: but and nobody did that. 363 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 3: I mean, no, it wasn't it. 364 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: It was not. But it wasn't like this. 365 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: And I don't remember professors trying to put their ideology 366 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: on us. 367 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 2: I mean, it was really about learning. 368 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: I actually, unless I was completely naive to it, I 369 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: just don't remember it happening. 370 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: But I think it's so prevalent. 371 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: A new poll just came out and showed that they 372 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: were asking if people felt that this Hamas attack, So 373 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: the ten to seven attack was justified, and people in 374 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: the age range of fifty five to sixty four, eighty 375 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: nine percent of them said no, it was not justified. 376 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: But if you go to eighteen to twenty four, only 377 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: fifty one percent said it's not justified. 378 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: So almost half. 379 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: Thought that it was okay to go in and do 380 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: the things you said. Sanitized that he came on your show. 381 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: Your correspondent, mister Cohen came on your show, and he 382 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: had to sanitize it for TV because the attack was 383 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: so horrific that even telling what he saw is not 384 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: allowed on work TV. So imagine that these young adults 385 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: are out there, half of them saying. 386 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: I think it was justified. How could you feel that way. 387 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's it's shocking. And we saw I don't 388 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 3: know if you saw this from the New York Times. 389 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 3: So a week ago, it was last Wednesday, we heard this. 390 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 3: It was overnight. So we came into the newsroom. We 391 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 3: had a meeting before the show, and we just we 392 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 3: knew we had to be cautious about this hospital attack 393 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 3: in Gaza, and I just said, look, this is that's 394 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 3: it's total bs CNN, the New York Times, MSNBC, they 395 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 3: were already on the air their early Early, Early whatever 396 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 3: program they called that, and they were they were the 397 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 3: message was Hamas told us basically, Hamas, all right, that 398 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 3: would be like after nine to eleven. Al Qaeda told 399 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 3: us x okay, Hamas told us this was this came 400 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 3: from Israel. This was a rocket that was targeted toward 401 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 3: this hospital. They were going for a Hamas military location, 402 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 3: but instead they missed the hospital and that five hundred died. 403 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 3: The New York Times apologized yesterday. Do you see this apology? 404 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: By the way, it's like, oh, I actually did not 405 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 3: see this. It's the New York Times. They tried to apologize. 406 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 3: It's like fifteen paragraphs. They never actually say We're sorry, 407 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 3: we got it wrong. We at six thirty am, right 408 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 3: on the news went listen, no, this is we believe 409 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 3: this is Hamas. We don't have it verified. We're going 410 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 3: to work out, we're going to work all day to 411 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 3: get that verified. But I have a tough time thinking 412 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 3: that this was this was Israel. The New York Times 413 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 3: apologized and at the very end they said, you know, 414 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: they wouldn't let us go in and actually inspect the 415 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 3: hospital site itself, so there's no way to completely verify 416 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 3: and rule out that this was a rocket from Israel. 417 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 3: So even in their apology, they still left the door 418 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 3: open to maybe this being Israel and not Hamas, which 419 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 3: is just it is so mind blowing, and it's really 420 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 3: really sad that this is where we are, less than 421 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 3: three weeks after the most tragic terrorist attack we've seen 422 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 3: in Israel in a long time. 423 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: Actually ever, I mean, if you think about after I 424 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: was thinking about this this morning. I don't know why, 425 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: but I was thinking, gosh, if we had social media 426 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: after nine to eleven, imagine the number of people who 427 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: would come out and say, this was the American government 428 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: that did this, and this was all a conspiracy and 429 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: all of those people that would have come out, and 430 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: you would have had this people torn in half going 431 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: instead of the coming together that we had after nine 432 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: to eleven, you would have seen this. And I look 433 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: at this and I just my advice to people is, 434 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: don't listen to any of the influencers out there. I mean, 435 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: and I include myself in that. I'm not an expert 436 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: in war. I have my opinion on certainly what I 437 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: think that we need to. I mean, we don't support terrorism. 438 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: We need to support Israel. They are one of our allies. 439 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: They are a key ally in that region. And I 440 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: think that that's something that people don't understand. You have 441 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: to have someone on your side in that region of 442 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: the world. But we have all of these social media 443 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: influencers that are going out and they are, you know, 444 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: Monday Morning quarterbacking everything that happens in this war. And 445 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm sorry. You are twenty five and 446 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: you've been in front of. 447 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 2: A podcast Mike your whole life, well you know about 448 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 2: a war. Will take your information from generals, from people 449 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: who have lived this. When they come out and they say, 450 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 2: don't take don't immediately think that we're going into World 451 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 2: War three. But we have to be aware. 452 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, what Lincoln said today, this 453 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: is the Secretary of State coming out and for the 454 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: first time saying Iran, if you do this, we're coming 455 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: for you. 456 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 2: That's serious. Now, we're serious. 457 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 3: I wish it was the president though. 458 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: Well, of course, yes he won. He has not said 459 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 2: anything about Iran. 460 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't said anything. I think he's mentioned, you know, 461 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 3: Iran four times in the last three months, even in passing. 462 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 3: I don't know why we continue to try to appease Iran. 463 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 3: It makes no sense to me. Re Entry into the 464 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 3: Iran nuclear deal makes no sense to me. I don't 465 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 3: like saying, hey, what if Trump were president, would this 466 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 3: be happening like this? But do you think that Trump, 467 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 3: if he were still in office, would use maybe a 468 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 3: little bit stronger language to condemn Iran? The Wall Street 469 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 3: Journal the attack happened Saturday, ten to seven. On Monday, 470 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 3: The Wall Street Journal basically had a report concluding that 471 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 3: Iran had a hand into planning and approval of this 472 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 3: terrorist attack. You're right, ten to seven is Israel's nine 473 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 3: to eleven. And just like we've got Holocaust deniers now, 474 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: I mean, there's a movie I saw not long ago. 475 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 3: It's called Denial. Came out in like twenty sixteen Rachel Weiss, 476 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 3: and it's based on a true story of a group 477 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 3: of Holocaust deniers. It's an excellent movie. But there are already, 478 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 3: again less than three weeks removed from this tragic, terrible 479 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 3: terrorist attack in Israel, there are already ten seven deniers 480 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 3: out there, and a lot of them are social media 481 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 3: influencers and these idiots that people listen to and then 482 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 3: they propagate whatever they're hearing from people who have no 483 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 3: idea what they're talking about. In tutor, I'm not a 484 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 3: military expert in any way, shape or form, but I 485 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 3: like to think I'm somebody that's fairly read in and 486 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 3: to think that this is anything outside of what America 487 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 3: experienced on nine to eleven is it's shameful if you 488 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 3: think anything outside of. 489 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: That, well, and you're held to a higher standard. I mean, 490 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: you're out there, you're not trying to get clicks. You 491 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: want to get people information. 492 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 2: There is a different goal with people in the position 493 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: of being a journalist, someone who's delivering information. It has 494 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: to be accurate. This idea that you have. 495 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: So many It's funny because I think a lot of 496 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: times before this happened, many of us have kind of 497 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: thought back to some of these other wars in the past, 498 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: Vietnam and World War Two. Certainly, what would it have 499 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: been like had social media been around. I mean, Vietnam 500 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: would have been a nightmare for all those guys that 501 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: it was already a nightmare when they came back and 502 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: people were denying that they should have gone and treating 503 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: them horribly. But then you think about World War Two, 504 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: and honestly, I always thought if the pictures were coming out, 505 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: people could have seen the concentration camps, everybody would have 506 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: been outraged. It would have ended faster. And now I 507 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: don't know. 508 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I also this is probably just I 509 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 3: think this probably happens every generation. So, you know, nine 510 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 3: to eleven, we didn't have social media, right, so the 511 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 3: towers go down nine to eleven happens, and there are 512 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 3: people like Pat Tillman who immediately go in enlist. But 513 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 3: outside of people like that, it wasn't like, you know, 514 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 3: the biggest sports stars in the country were going to fight, 515 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 3: you know, for America after that, and people in Hollywood 516 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 3: World War two, and I just think, again, my grandparents 517 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 3: both fought in the Second World War, both my grandfathers 518 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 3: and my grandfather I'm from Boston, and he was like, yeah, 519 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 3: it was amazing. He's like, Pearl Harbor happens, and Ted Williams, 520 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 3: the best baseball player at the time, en lists a 521 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 3: couple of days after Pearl Harbor. So does Joe DiMaggio, 522 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 3: so does Joe's brother Dom, and then Bob Feller, this 523 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 3: pitcher I think for the Indians. He had this great quote. 524 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 3: He was like, you know, they were like, why'd you 525 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 3: you know, you gave up this lucrative pitching career, you're 526 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 3: the you know, the best pitcher in baseball. And his 527 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 3: quote was, I thought it was time to get busy fighting. 528 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 3: And they all made it back. But it gives me 529 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 3: chills because I I feel like it's changed those are 530 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,479 Speaker 3: that was an error the greatest generation of American heroes. 531 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 2: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 532 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 2: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. 533 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: You know, I see these Harvard kids, and I talked 534 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: about this last week, the Harvard kids. I don't feel 535 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: bad for those Harvard kids that sign this because they 536 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: did everything they could to get into Harvard. They were 537 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: really careful to get into Harvard, and they knew, they 538 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: knew what this message is. 539 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 2: This is going to be. 540 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: Like I said, as we go, I want to switch 541 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: gears a little bit to the presidential election because I 542 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: do think that this is going to play into that. 543 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: And I do think that people are going to be 544 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: watching Trump carefully because I think you're right, he would 545 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: have been tougher. But I think that the Donald Trump 546 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: who was elected in twenty sixteen, had he been in 547 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: office for eight years, he would have continued to be 548 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: that guy. And he's changed a little bit. And I 549 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: wonder how this version of Donald Trump will handle this 550 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: out on the world stage with all of the noise 551 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: behind him. We're seeing these legal cases in Georgia. We've 552 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: just got Jenna Ellis now she pleads guilty. You've got 553 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: Sidney Powell pleading guilty. All of these people pleading guilty. 554 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: What does that look like for Trump on the campaign trail. 555 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 3: Part of the reason that Trump was so successful, at 556 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 3: least when it comes to foreign policy when he was 557 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 3: in office is because, and we've all heard this, people 558 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 3: like Jijingpang, Vladimir Putin, the Shah in Iran, there wasn't 559 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 3: a dossier on Donald Trump. He was an unknown quantity 560 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 3: because he s he'd never held elected office, he had 561 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 3: never even been dog catcher. I mean, he was unknown 562 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 3: outside of you know, writing books and being a celebrity. 563 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 3: So that variable, I think made a lot of our 564 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 3: adversaries uncomfortable. Whereas Joe Biden, the guy was in the 565 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 3: Senate for thirty five plus years, he was vice president 566 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 3: for eight years. Everyone knows Joe Biden's tendencies, his peccadillos, 567 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 3: and what he's likely to do in a given situation, 568 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 3: and that has not served us well. I'm not convinced that, 569 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 3: let's say Trump does get re elected, I'm not convinced 570 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 3: that everything is just well. This didn't happen when he 571 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 3: was in office four years ago, It's not going to 572 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 3: happen now. I think that our adversaries know a lot 573 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 3: more about Donald Trump, and I'm not sure, and no 574 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 3: one talks about this, but I'm not certain that serves 575 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 3: Donald Trump well if he actually does get elected again. 576 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 3: Back to your question about everything happening legally, we have 577 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 3: attorneys and some very very bright people on every week, 578 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 3: Alan Dershowitz, Jeorge Seculo, Andrew Neapolitano comes on all the 579 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 3: time just to sort of fill in the blanks with 580 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 3: what's going on in each one of these cases, and 581 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 3: it's really tough for people to follow the bouncing ball. 582 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 3: This is not good for Donald Trump. I think what 583 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 3: happened in Israel Tutor has taken him out of the 584 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 3: He hasn't won a news cycle, by my count, in 585 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 3: more than three weeks. Normally Trump is the news cycle. 586 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 3: He hasn't won a news cycle in more than three weeks. 587 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 3: And that opens the door not a lot, but ever 588 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 3: so slightly to people like Nicki Haley and even Ron DeSantis, 589 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 3: whose campaign has been an abject disaster. I think he 590 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: will learn from it and run again down the road. 591 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 3: We can talk about that in twenty twenty eight, twenty 592 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 3: thirty two, whenever. But the door is open for people 593 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 3: like Nicki Haley right now. 594 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: I agree. 595 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: Right now, I think that I mean, I think what 596 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: you said there was really interesting. I just want to 597 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: backtrack a little bit to people knowing who Donald Trump 598 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: is now because I think that you make a really 599 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: interesting point that I haven't heard anybody talk about, and 600 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: that is You're right, no one knew him, but now 601 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: they know what buttons to push, and he does have 602 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: buttons to push, and we can see when people on 603 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: nationally are pushing his buttons now and he's getting frustrated. 604 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: And I think that some of that also goes to 605 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: the fact that, I mean, he's been doing this a 606 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: long time, he's been attacked for a long time. He's 607 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: under a lot of pressure. And I know everybody says, oh, 608 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: there's he doesn't crack, that he doesn't pressure doesn't bother him. 609 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: At a certain point, it has to get to you, 610 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: and that I think you're right, that is the lane 611 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: for a Nikki Haley to come in, especially at a 612 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: time like this, because not only is she someone who's saying, hey, 613 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: I want to make sure our border is secure because 614 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: we don't know who's coming across the border, and don't 615 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: we should not accept the amount of deaths that we 616 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: have from fentanyl every year. I think that's been unique 617 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: for her. I think everybody has been kind of railing 618 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: on the border, but she's come at it from a 619 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: perspective of we're losing more people than we lose in 620 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: a war, and that's a big deal. And instead of 621 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: just closing the border, we need to stop China from 622 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: making fentanyl that has played. 623 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 2: Well with people. I think she also has that in 624 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 2: with women that we haven't had in a very long 625 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 2: time in the Republican Party. 626 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I honestly think that Trump's not going to 627 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 3: debate in early November. That'll be the third debate in Miami, Florida. 628 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 3: It's on NBC. I believe that's smart for Donald Trump 629 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 3: because he is unlike any nomination process we've seen, maybe 630 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 3: going back to the sixties, he can run out the clock. 631 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 3: We're going to be voting in Iowa in less than 632 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 3: three months January fifteenth, A couple weeks after that, it's 633 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 3: New Hampshire and then they just they go like Domino's 634 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 3: at South Carolina, and then early March is Super Tuesday. 635 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 3: If Trump wins in New Hampshire and Iowa, forget it, 636 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 3: that's the ballgame. And if he doesn't go on the 637 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 3: debate stage, people like Chris Christy, who's not very popular 638 00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 3: certainly with the MAGA crowd, they don't stand it, and 639 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 3: it'll be over before spring. 640 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see. 641 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: I mean, there were a lot of people saying yesterday 642 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: that he didn't have a big enough crowd in New Hampshire. 643 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: That New Hampshire is if I don't know. I mean, 644 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: he seems to consistently bring in the big numbers. But 645 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: I also think you never know what these polls these days. 646 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 2: You never know. We could go into these primaries and 647 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 2: we could be completely shocked. I think it'll be interesting. 648 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: I'd love to have you back when it happens, then 649 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: we can chat about that. 650 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: But I'm so grateful you came on today. 651 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 3: Thank you, Rob, Tutor, so good being with you.
