00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast Weekend edition. We are

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: now five months out from the presidential election, and Joe

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Biden is really falling apart before our eyes. But the

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: worst part is he's falling apart before the eyes of

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: our allies and our adversaries. So let's just like recap

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: the last few days. We saw him stumbling around the

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: D Day Memorial event in France, and then he had

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: he was back in the States for like a moment,

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: and I think that we all know he needs this

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: time to rest and recoup, but maybe it would have

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: been better for him to like rest at a spa

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: in Spain or something before they took him all the

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: way back to the US, because then they sent him

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: over to Europe again to the G seven summit in Italy,

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: and that's where things really took a turn. Suddenly we're

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: seeing all these gaffes. At a certain point, he sounds

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: like porky pig. He's giving a press conference and he's

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: like but and it's just embarrassing. He starts to like

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: lose it in these meetings, right, he's sort of dozing off.

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: And there's another point where its Zelensky. President Zelenski of

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: Ukraine kind of walks around the table and you think,

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: is he trying to make sure he's awake or is

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: he trying to make sure he's alive, And it gives

24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: kind of those like Brazilian woman at the bank with

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: the dead man vibes, like dude, I gotta have you

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: sign this check, so you have to just pretend at

27
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: least to be alive.

28
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: It's so bad.

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: But the kicker is at the end, which really really

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: isn't the end. It was the end for him because

31
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: he has to leave early, I think because he's just

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: too tired. But he has this big celebrity event that

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: he's going to. But at the end of this g

34
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: seventh summit, he's like with these world leaders and they're

35
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: standing there and they're watching this event where parachute jumpers

36
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: are descending from the sky with the flags of our

37
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: allied nations and it's meant to be a photo op.

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got all the leaders there, they're all

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: looking up, they're in they're kind of like circled around together,

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: and then suddenly Joe Biden won off and they all

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: kind of look at each other like.

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: Oh crap, what are we gonna do?

43
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: And this is after they've been with him for several

44
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: days now they realize what's happening, and Macrone kind of

45
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: looks at the Prime Minister of Italy like, it's up

46
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: to You're on duty this time, and you literally watch

47
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: her walk to him, grab him and pull him back

48
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: for pictures, which then he then puts his sunglasses on

49
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: for So we think this is bad, but I think

50
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: that a lot of American journalists were still going, oh

51
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: this is the cut was really tight. The video doesn't

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: show everything that's going on. However, they're busted now because

53
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: the sun was there. The UK's the sun was there.

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: They are now talking about the dementia ridden leader of America.

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: So I want you to listen to this, and then

56
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: we're going to bring Kyle Olsen in to kind of

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: react to what's happening across the globe as people watch

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: our president make gaff after gaff and wander into the

59
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: sunset on his own.

60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: Here it is.

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: Also last night awkward moment with President Biden where he

62
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: was looking bury dodgery. He was wandering around, he sort

63
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: of wandered off and and George Maloney, the Italian Premier,

64
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: had to sort of sort of guide him back to

65
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: the crowd. It was quite painful viewing. Everyone's putting a

66
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: slight brave face on it this morning. We've got some

67
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: more for that for the paper tomorrow. But yeah, you

68
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 3: can see from that, but as yourself, it's you know,

69
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: this is getting embarrassing now, and you know, you do

70
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: really wonder how President Biden is going to be able

71
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: to run an election campaign in October and November for

72
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: re election and if he won, is that a man

73
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: who really thinks going to get through the next four years?

74
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you're right, it's absolutely painful to watch, and

75
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 4: that clip's going viral currently on social media. Obviously Donald

76
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: Trump and the Republicans really looking to ham it up.

77
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: I mean, what was going on? I mean, obviously most

78
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: G seven summit's a diplomatic sprints. You expect to see

79
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: the President the United States as other world leaders doing,

80
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: you know, a flurry of of meetings. Has he even

81
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: doing the same thing?

82
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: No, he ducked out at dinner last night. And Brankley Jack,

83
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: I've got a really much story for the paper tomorrow

84
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: by telling it to never mind the ballots. But my

85
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: sources are diplomatic sources. Here people love. It's big to

86
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: say it's the worst they've ever seen Joe Biden. Ah,

87
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: and he's been he's in a bad way, and he's

88
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: losing focus in meetings. Sometimes he's very sharp, sometimes he's

89
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: very much not so some worrying developments there and an

90
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: exclusive news story it's never mind the ballot.

91
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: So you hear that, Kyle, I want to bring you

92
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: in now and react to that. I mean, this is

93
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: this is embarrassing, and like I said, the US media

94
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: is trying to cover this up and be like it

95
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: wasn't that bad. But you put this together with the

96
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: porky pig moments with the America America reporters, with all

97
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: of the things that he's said over the past few days,

98
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: now we are total a total embarrassment.

99
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 5: Well, and his sources told him that it's never been worse.

100
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 5: And so there's speculation about can he run a campaign,

101
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 5: But I think the bigger question is can he serve

102
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 5: another four years? And if he can't serve another four years,

103
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 5: and if their whole scheme here is to get him

104
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 5: re elected and then he'll resign and you know, whoever

105
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 5: the vice president is will become the president. So really,

106
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 5: I think what Americans need to be thinking about is

107
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 5: they are voting for the who the vice president is,

108
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 5: and do they want Kamala Harris to be the president?

109
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: And you make a really good point there because here

110
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: we're listening to this and this guy is like, we're

111
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: wondering if he can make it through October and November

112
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: for an election, and yet we are voting for a

113
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: president for four years. Like they're watching this on the

114
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: sidelines over in Europe, like, gosh, what's going to happen

115
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: over the next few months.

116
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: This is for the next four years. So yeah, I

117
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: think you're right. I think what you know.

118
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: This was something that people criticized Nikki Haley for when

119
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: she was running, which she kept saying, you're voting for

120
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. But in that case, I think you make

121
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: that point too. Yeah, we should be saying you're voting

122
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: for the vice president. And I think Democrats are so

123
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: horrified by who the vice president is because he leaves

124
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: the G seven. I think this is funny because he

125
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: leaves the G seven. I think it was Kirby that

126
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: was being asked these questions like what the heck? You know,

127
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: the reporter's like, how does he just leave the g

128
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: seven like he doesn't.

129
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: Go to the dinner. Then he leaves early because he's

130
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: going to this fundraiser. It's a joke.

131
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: Now, this is where we're supposed to be represented by

132
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: the President of the United States, and he goes, oh,

133
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: we still have the vice president there, We're still represented.

134
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: I think everybody in the press course is like, so wait, wait,

135
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: but really, who's there?

136
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 5: Right? And to see these sorts of these videos, you know,

137
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 5: people sort of laugh and snicker and can't believe that

138
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 5: this is happening. But it's uncomfortable, it's awkward, it's embarrassing.

139
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 5: And to see the looks on those worlds leaders' faces,

140
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 5: it was almost like two parents who are exhausted because

141
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 5: they keep having to chase a child and they look

142
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 5: at each other at say it's your turn now. And

143
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 5: so this is not the way America should be. This

144
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 5: is not the way our leaders should be. And how

145
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 5: are we possibly projecting any sort of confidence or authority

146
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 5: or leadership when we've got a leader supposedly of the

147
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: free world is operating like this.

148
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: I think that we have a situation. Honestly, I've been

149
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: thinking about this.

150
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: Who wants to run on the Republican side, you get

151
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: put in prison, you get humiliated, the media is all

152
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: against you. So the Republicans not only have their opponent,

153
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: but they have the whole backing of Hollywood in the

154
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: media behind the other side to attack them, and so

155
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: you end up with people who just don't want to

156
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: go into that. On the Democrat side, they have elevated

157
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: these unqualified for lack of a better term, morons who

158
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: are just activists out there and they've they've become elevated

159
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: by the Hollywood producers of the world. I mean, we're

160
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: talking a couple days ago about now we've got the

161
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: producers of SNL, the producers of Parks and rec and

162
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: some other show called Big Mouth, which all the young

163
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: people know about. I have no idea what it is,

164
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: but they are making these commercials that are going to

165
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: go on Instagram, that are going to go on Snapchat,

166
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: and these kids are going to watch these commercials and

167
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: they're going to paint these people as heroes in these kids' minds,

168
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: the Democrats, and I think that's what we've seen in

169
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: Michigan with Gretchen Whitmer. Her social media team should get

170
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: awards because they've made her look like she knows what

171
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: she's doing while the state is crumbling. And I think

172
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: it can be very manipulative what is happening on the

173
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: Democrat side. And yet Republicans are just kind of sitting

174
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: back and going, how silly they're engaging Hollywood. Wait a minute,

175
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: the people in Hollywood, they've always taken us to a fantasyland.

176
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: That's their job, and now they're taking Democrats in to

177
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: this fantasy world and making us believe that they're heroes.

178
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 5: Well, yes, that's right. And also they're they're propping people

179
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 5: like Gretchen Whitmer up as a potential replacement for Joe Biden.

180
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 5: And you know, there was a there was a piece

181
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 5: in the New York Times this week Brett Stevens. He

182
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 5: is trying to make this case that Gretchen Whitmer should

183
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 5: replace Joe Biden, and it would be good for Biden's

184
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 5: legacy to basically, you know, be replaced. And when I

185
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 5: read pieces like that, it's I suppose it's popular to say, oh,

186
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 5: Gretchen Whitmer should replace Joe Biden. But clearly, people like

187
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 5: Brett Stevens, who claims to be a conservative, has never

188
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 5: come to Michigan he's never talked to people in Michigan,

189
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 5: he's never looked at Gretchen Whitmer's record, and taking a

190
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 5: step back and said to himself, you know, maybe as

191
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 5: a conservative, I should look at her record when it

192
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 5: came to lockdowns, when it came.

193
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: To when it comes to the economy, what's happening in

194
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: this right now.

195
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: I Mean, that's the thing that blows my mind is

196
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: these people just blindly promote these folks.

197
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: And yet this is the one thing that I've found

198
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: with Republicans.

199
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: Republicans are very much like, well, look at the facts,

200
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: but they won't look at the facts because she has

201
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: been propped up to this level of where people are

202
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: now connecting with her on an emotional level that it

203
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: becomes everything else becomes irrelevant to them. And I mean,

204
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: if you read this piece, I just want to quote

205
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: part of what Brett Stevens said, because he says it

206
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: all leaves the president with one option that can be

207
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: a win for America and ultimately his place in history.

208
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: He can still choose not to run, to see the

209
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: field to a Democrat who can win, paging Josh Shapiro

210
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: or Gretchen Whitmer and do the hard and brave things

211
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: it will take to secure to secure security and peace

212
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: for the free world. And then he says there's still time,

213
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: if only just it would be a courageous, honorable, and

214
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: transformative legacy to send this over to Whitmer. Now, I

215
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: don't know that much about Shapiro. I can see why

216
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: he's doing this. You got Pennsylvanian play, you got Michigan play.

217
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: They want that, And I think that they believe that

218
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: at a certain point they can say, well, since Whitmer

219
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: is going to be the presidential nominee, now we can't

220
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: really have two women run together. Sorry, Kamala will send

221
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: you over to a cabinet position and try to march

222
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: her off and try to sweep.

223
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: That under the rug.

224
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: And like I said, the Democrats tend to vote on emotion.

225
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: They're forgiving. They have forgiven crime, they have forgiven the border.

226
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: They are forgiving. So when we say, well, they can't

227
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: really do this to their own person, and they can't

228
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: really ditch Kamala Kamala like this, I think they are

229
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: so forgiving that they will ditch her. And I think

230
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: at this point, after what we've seen here and potentially

231
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: after what we'll see in the June debate, they will

232
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: come to the conclusion that they have got to ditch Biden,

233
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: and they will say to him, you know, I mean,

234
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: it makes sense. It makes sense for him to say,

235
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: you know what, it's time for me. I feel like

236
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: I've become a little ill. I've got to step down.

237
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: And so what Brett steven says makes sense. Let's take

238
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on the Tutor

239
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: Dixon Podcast. The truth about Whitmer has never come out.

240
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we certainly didn't expose enough of the truth

241
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: about Whitmer when I was running.

242
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: And I think that when you just.

243
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Watch her, when you watch her even attempt to be

244
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: on the world stage or even the national stage, she

245
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: is a complete phony. It's script Everything that her social

246
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: media team does is scripted for her. You can literally

247
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: watch her reading when she gets into a situation where

248
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: she has to answer to something, She's no better than

249
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and I certainly can't imagine her trying to

250
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: negotiate her way on the world stage at.

251
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: Something like a G seven.

252
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: I want to play a video for you from over

253
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: the weekend when she was talking about Hunter Biden, and

254
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: it looks like she's pretending her audio goes out, but

255
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: here it is.

256
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 6: I want to turn to a different, very different trial,

257
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 6: and that is one that is going on in Delaware

258
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 6: with the President's son, Hunter Biden. He is on trial

259
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 6: for obtaining and possessing a firearm while under the influence

260
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 6: of illegal drugs, which was against the law. Republican Lindsay

261
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 6: Graham says that an average American would not have been

262
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 6: properly for there. Yes, Governor, can you hear me? Okay,

263
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 6: it sounds like the governor can't hear me. You know what,

264
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 6: We're going to take a very quick commercial break and

265
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 6: get this fix and we'll be right back. Don't go anywhere.

266
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: I mean, think about that. Do you want the leader

267
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: of the free world to use a.

268
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: Baby voice on TV and go, Danna are you there?

269
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: It's just unprofound. I've never heard anybody do that when

270
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: they're on TV.

271
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 5: It was very and so my personal opinion just watching

272
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 5: her since I have, I have been, you know, prior

273
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 5: to the pandemic. I watched very intently during the pandemic

274
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 5: when I was writing for Breitbart, and then since then

275
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 5: during the campaign and since then, I just believe I

276
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 5: don't I don't think she has real convictions. I don't

277
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 5: know that she believes. She don't. I don't think it's

278
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 5: in her bones what she believes. And I think if

279
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 5: you don't have that, I think you have to know

280
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 5: how to fake it and how to be a good actor.

281
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 5: And I don't think that she has either one of

282
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 5: those things, and which is why I think she's just

283
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 5: completely disqualified to be on the national stage.

284
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: But I think I want to stop you for a minute,

285
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: because you make a good point, because look at when

286
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: she does. I want to play when she does answer

287
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: this question, because faking it is even trying to fake it.

288
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: Here she doesn't have to fake this, but look at

289
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: her answer really quick.

290
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 6: The president's son, Hunter Biden, is on trial for obtaining

291
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 6: and possessing a firearm while under the influence of illegal

292
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 6: drugs that was against the law. Republican Lindsey Graham says

293
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 6: that an average American would not have been prosecuted for this,

294
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 6: suggesting that Hunter Biden's facing charges for political reasons. What

295
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 6: do you think.

296
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 5: You know?

297
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 7: I don't know how to weigh in on that, Dana.

298
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 7: I'll just say this, I saw, and I was happy

299
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 7: to see when the president was asked about this. He'll

300
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 7: have confidence in the judicial system. He's not going to

301
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 7: undermine it. And I think, you know, we'll see how

302
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 7: it plays out.

303
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: So I play that video because she had a few

304
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: minutes to think about this. Obviously her audio, her audio

305
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: goes out I say in quotes, and then she goes off.

306
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: They go to commercial, they come back, she requestions her

307
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: about that. She's asked the question over again. This is

308
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: a former prosecutor. She doesn't know how to answer it.

309
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: That's literally what she just heard or say that right.

310
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 5: She was in the in the Michigan State House, she

311
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 5: was in the Michigan State Senate, she was a prosecutor.

312
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 5: She's now a second term governor. She's got a lot

313
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 5: of experience with the media, but she doesn't She just

314
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 5: doesn't have it, and I just think she is not.

315
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 5: People like Brett Stevens can sit in Washington, DC, or

316
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 5: New York City or London or wherever he is and

317
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 5: he can talk about these things, but he clearly has

318
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 5: never actually watched her and has never actually visited Michigan.

319
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 5: Because I think it's important if someone wants a promotion,

320
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 5: you should look at where they came from. And the

321
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 5: record of where they were. And so here's just a

322
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 5: few things about Gretchen Whitmer's record when she Since she

323
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 5: has become governor of Michigan in twenty nineteen, the number

324
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 5: of Fortune five hundred companies in the state of Michigan

325
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 5: has dropped from thirty to sixteen. And they didn't go

326
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 5: to other countries. They went to other states. And why.

327
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 5: One of the reasons is because employees want good schools

328
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 5: for their kids. Michigan's ranking of child wellbeing has fallen

329
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 5: to thirty fourth. Eighteen percent of Michigan kids live in poverty.

330
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 5: The Democrat about I want.

331
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: To stop you for a minute again, because if you

332
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: think about this, you're talking about losing these companies. We

333
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: went from thirty, which I think if you look at

334
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: just the city of Dallas, I think you have like

335
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: two hundred. Okay, so we're talking about the entire state

336
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: of Michigan thirty Fortune five hundred companies. It goes to

337
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: sixteen under Gretchen Witmer's rule. And I say that because

338
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: you have to understand there's not there's more factors that

339
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: go into this. But our education system has taken a

340
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: massive dive. It has had the biggest increase in funding

341
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: since Gretchen Whitmer took office and the biggest dive in results.

342
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: So how can you continue to put money into something

343
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: and praise yourself, which she does regularly praises herself. Look

344
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: at how much money I've spent on education, and yet

345
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: it has taken the worst dive in history in the

346
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: state of Michigan. At the same time, energy costs have risen, risen, risen, risen,

347
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: and we just got another increase in our energy costs

348
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: just within the last month, and businesses say forget it.

349
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: We also as we see this increase in energy costs

350
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: from Gretchen Whitmer, we've seen her say she's going to

351
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: take more and more energy energy companies off the grid.

352
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: So we're going to go to one hundred percent renewable

353
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: energy by twenty thirty five. It is unreasonable, and every

354
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: news article has had in the small print they will

355
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: have blackouts like California and in manufacturing world, you cannot

356
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: deal with blackouts. Blackouts are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars,

357
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: sometimes an hour, and we're talking about blackouts for days

358
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: at a time.

359
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: This is Gretchen Whitmer's Michigan.

360
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: Can you imagine Gretchen Whitmer's America exactly.

361
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 5: And then there was a report this week that the

362
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 5: nursing home deaths related to COVID because of her nursing

363
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 5: home policy, which was the same in California, which was

364
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 5: the same in New York, that actually that number could

365
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 5: actually be double what has been reported. An additional eight

366
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 5: thousand people could have died because of her nursing home policy.

367
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 5: And so it would be really wise for people like

368
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 5: Brett Stevens to instead of sitting wherever they're sitting and

369
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 5: type up these columns, maybe he should actually come to

370
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 5: Michigan and talk to people, talk to business owners, talk

371
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 5: to families whose kids were locked out of schools for

372
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 5: some of the longest periods during in the country during

373
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 5: the pandemic. Many kids still have not caught up. He

374
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 5: should come to Michigan and talk to people about Gretchen

375
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 5: Whitmer's policies, and maybe he would think twice about floating

376
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 5: her name as a potential president.

377
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: And the state is just on the edge. I mean,

378
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: this is a governor who ran on fixing the damn roads.

379
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: That's her favorite thing is to go out there and

380
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: put a curse word and every slogan she has. She

381
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: ran on fixing the roads, and now we know that

382
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: Michigan's roads are certifiably worse since Gretchen Witmer took office.

383
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: The one promise that she had, she has not delivered

384
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: on the amount of restaurants that closed during her pandemic shutdown.

385
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: We had over three thousand. It continues to happen across

386
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: the state. Our towns and our communities have been decimated.

387
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, even in our town, we've lost a massive

388
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: amount of stores. We've lost a massive amount of mom

389
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: and pop restaurants because there's just not the money anymore.

390
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 2: There's not the jobs. There's no jobs left in Michigan.

391
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: She's lost tens of thousands of jobs, and she hasn't

392
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: been honest about it. She tried to lie about that

393
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: during the campaign that she had brought in tens of

394
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: thousands of automotive jobs, when she had actually lost over

395
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: thirty thousand automotive jobs. And she continues to give our

396
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: taxpayer money to these companies and then when they pull

397
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: the jobs, there's no repercussions for them. I mean, if

398
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: you actually analyzed Gretchen Whitmer as a leader, you would

399
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: be horrified. In fact, she would any company would have

400
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: fired her and made sure she never works again because

401
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: of her record.

402
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: She is a terrible leader.

403
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: I would love to see her on the debate stage

404
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: for something like this, because she flubbed the debate so

405
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: badly in the state of Michigan. She couldn't even talk

406
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: positively about her own record or defend her record.

407
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 2: I can't imagine her trying.

408
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: To talk about how she would secure the border, how

409
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: she would work with adversaries.

410
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: And allies, because she hasn't.

411
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: She's gone on multiple overseas trips, claiming that she's going

412
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: on these trips to bring businesses back to the United States.

413
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: She's accomplished none of that.

414
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: I think these are taxpayer funded trips so that she

415
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: can say I've had international travel experience and i can

416
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: run for president.

417
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: But she really has none of that.

418
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to cut it off there because this

419
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: is our quick weekend update, but I'll just give you

420
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: the last few seconds to say your piece on what

421
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: you think should happen in this election.

422
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 5: Well, it's going to be interesting over the next several

423
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 5: weeks to see what happens. Obviously, Biden has the debate

424
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 5: with Trump prior to their convention, and we'll see if

425
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 5: how that goes. I mean, judging by the clips that

426
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 5: you played and others that are circulating on Twitter, it's

427
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 5: probably not going to end well for Biden. And so

428
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 5: the Democratic Party, I think, is sort of at a crossroads.

429
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 5: And if people like Brett Stevens thinks that Gretchen Whitmer

430
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 5: is a solution, come to Michigan, see how people are here,

431
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 5: and maybe, if you're not totally blinded by partisanship, maybe

432
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 5: you'll think twice about having Gretchen Whitmer be on the

433
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 5: national stage.

434
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be an interesting thing to watch,

435
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: for sure, because I do think that it would expose who.

436
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: She really is.

437
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: However, as I said at the beginning of this, Democrats

438
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: vote differently than Republicans. There's not rational thinking there. It's

439
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: not a cause and effect. It's very emotion based, and

440
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: they're good at stirring up emotion. The same people that

441
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: make you believe that Thanos is real can make you

442
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: believe that Gretchen Witmer is actually successful.

443
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens.

444
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: We'll keep you posted, and I want to thank you
