1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Today, I have a

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: former Congressman and the former chairman of the House Intelligent

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Committee and the current US candidate for US Senate here

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: in Michigan, Mike Rogers. Mike, thanks for joining me, Tutor.

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 2: It is great to be here. Thanks for having me.

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, there's so much that I want to talk to

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: you about. Obviously we have this shutdown, but there's a

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that you've been talking about and writing

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: op eds about, and all kinds of different things that

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: I think are important that someone in DC is advocating

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: for Michigan. And I want so everybody who's listening right now.

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: I know not everybody is from Michigan, but I think

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: it's important for you to understand that your US senator

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: can do things for your state. They're not just a

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: vote nationally. They're actually out there advocating for you too.

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: And this is something we haven't seen in Michigan. We've

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: really been struggling and manufacturing. You talked about shop class,

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: You talked about your dad being in shop class and

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: manufacturing and building things. My dad was the same. I

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: worked in the foundry. We need it back. What can

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: you do?

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks. Yeah, matter of fact, thanks for the question, Tootor.

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 3: And this, to me is the most important thing we'll

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: be talking about going forward, getting Michigan back on its feet.

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: I mean, the Democrats under Democrat leadership has been a disaster,

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: lost manufacturing jobs thirty thousand. Our education system is now

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: forty fourth in the country. Mississippi does better than Michigan

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: right now in education. We need to fix all of that.

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: And having a senator, as you said, advocating for the

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: kinds of things that are important for our future economically,

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: for our kids education and so kids can actually stay

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: in a state like Michigan outrageously important. And my dad

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: was a shop teacher. I'm the youngest of five boys.

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: My dad was a shop teacher and a football coach.

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you said industrial arts and

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: our family, you might get the back of his hand.

37
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: We hated that, but.

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: I mean that honestly. We talk about that. I'm glad

39
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned that, because we talk about this all the time.

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I lost my dad in twenty twenty two. He was

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: a foundryman my whole life, and my mom and I

42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: say all the time, I can't imagine what he would

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: think of the ridiculous stuff that's going on today, and

44
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: the fact that we just we don't even have any

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: foundries left.

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: I know it's bad and we probably won't get a

47
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 3: whole surge of foundries come back, but what we can

48
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: now get is that advance manufacturing where the jobs are

49
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: a important for our national security. And hopefully we'll talk

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 3: about Trump's tweat today about talking to Ford and General

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: Motor CEOs who said, hey, thanks for the tariffs. You're

52
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: saving the automobile industry. You're saving trucks being built in

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: America and Michigan specifically, which is good for our national security.

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: And we need those jobs back and we need people

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: connected to them. I think we should have shop in

56
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: every high school in America. Listen, my dad believed in it.

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: You know, as I said, he didn't like industrial arts.

58
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: He said, it is shop, and it's about mechanics, it's

59
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 3: about metal work and woodworking, and it's good for you.

60
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: I don't care what you do in life. That's pretty helpful.

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: And imagine if we had a whole generation of kids

62
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: put down their screens for one minute and went in

63
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: and saw what you can do if you work with

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: your hands in the critical thinking that comes out of

65
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 3: repairing something, building something. I think it would be an

66
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: amazing change and a refreshing change for so many people

67
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 3: whose whole lives are consumed by how many likes they

68
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: have on their social media. I think this is good

69
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: for a whole bunch of reasons. But it also connects

70
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: people to really high paying jobs. Judor, and you know

71
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: this because you traveled around our state. I went to

72
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: a place in the Thumb just recently, about a week ago,

73
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: where one of the guys who runs a very sophisticated

74
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: computing drilling machine makes a quarter of a million dollars

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: a year.

76
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, easily.

77
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: I know this is these are great jobs.

78
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: And that's what so I tell people. Okay, so you

79
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: obviously know foundries. And if you don't know foundries, I mean,

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: we're MELTI metal, We're pouring it into sand molds. It's

81
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: kind of a dirty place, I'll admit. You go to

82
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: some of these machine shops, and if you're from manufacturing,

83
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: you go into these machine shops and I'm like, I

84
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: could eat off the floor in this shop. I mean,

85
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: these are nice places to work.

86
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

87
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, he's very proud of the owner is

88
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: very proud. He says, I paint the floor every year. Yeah,

89
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 3: I want a nice clean place to work.

90
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: And it is.

91
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: It's very clean, and it's ergonomically correct. I mean, you're

92
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: not in there, you know, you know, wrestling a fifty

93
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: pounds sheet of metal all day long. You've got machines

94
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: doing it and you're just doing the programming and getting

95
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: things in the right And it's really quite exciting to

96
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: watch and then to see the pride in these workers

97
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: when they're done and they have a product that they know.

98
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: In this case, some of this work is going onto

99
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 3: SpaceX right, and this is really high end work, and I.

100
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Think that's something that we could have in Michigan. We

101
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: could We are very well positioned to take over some

102
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: of this kind of space manufacturing and even aircraft manufacturing.

103
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: We have that workforce right now. It still exists. We're

104
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: teetering on the edge of struggling. I mean, I've talked

105
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: to a lot of people in Michigan. They say, you know,

106
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: we're struggling to get workers. We're still known as that

107
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: hub for manufacturing, but it's been so long. With Gretchen

108
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: Whitmer and Gary Peters and Debbie Stabinaw ignoring this state

109
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: that we have started to trail off a little bit

110
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: in our workforce. This is the moment, I mean, this

111
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: is why this election is so important. This is the

112
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: moment for Michigan to be the focus again and for

113
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: us to get that back. And it really is important

114
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: for the entire United States because you may go, oh, well,

115
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, we want it in our state, but because

116
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: we are the state that put the world on wheels,

117
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: we have that history here. You cannot allow Michigan to

118
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: fail because it will hurt the entire automotive industry.

119
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

120
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely completely agree in that new budding as you just described,

121
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: aerospace industry that's here right, building things for SpaceX, building

122
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: things for Boeing. We have that capability and we should

123
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: double down on it. And as you said, the Democrats

124
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: just walked away from all of this.

125
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: They're so married to the coasts, the liberal ideology of

126
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: the coasts of America.

127
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: They forgot about people who get up and work hard

128
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: and are proud to build things. And we have this

129
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: whole generation of kids, as I said, that just aren't

130
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: connected to it. I think if they got connected to it,

131
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,119
Speaker 3: they would find this a really, really good career option

132
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: for them.

133
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: And so we're going to do it from two ways.

134
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: And think of this.

135
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: This is another thing that drives me crazy about what

136
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 3: senators can do or not do. We used to have

137
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 3: an air base in the Upper Peninsula, Strategic Air Base.

138
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: They let that go. We used to build tanks in Michigan.

139
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 2: They let that go.

140
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 3: And by the way, they still do these things. We

141
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: still have air force bases, We still build tanks in America.

142
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: They're just not building them here anymore.

143
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: We used to have a navy base that tracks submarines,

144
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 3: Russian submarines, primarily up in the up They let that go.

145
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 3: And so all of the defense industrial based manufacturing also

146
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: breeds commercial manufacturing, dual use kind of manufacturing that's really

147
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 3: good for cutting edge and it's great for I think,

148
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: for America to have a diverse defense industrial base so

149
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: that China doesn't clean our clock. And so this is

150
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: that chance, and I agree with you, we're on the edge.

151
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: We don't get our education system turned around, we're in trouble.

152
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: If we don't get our manufacturing back and off of

153
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: its knees in this state, we're going to be in trouble.

154
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: This is the election to actually pull that off, and

155
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: I'm pretty confident we're going to do it, and I'm

156
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: I think working people are now understanding that if you

157
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: want a better future for your kids, it really is

158
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: conservatives and the Republican Party and that's going to get

159
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: you there.

160
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: And it's critical for young men right now because in

161
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: the state you've heard Gretchen Whitmer out there saying, oh,

162
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: we don't know what's happening. We have our universities are

163
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: being attended by women, but the men in Michigan are

164
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: not going to school, They're not going to trade school,

165
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: they're not going to college. What is happening to the

166
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: young men in the state of Michigan. This is aquis

167
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: and yet I really do believe that the Democrats just

168
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: have no idea how to address it. I think it's

169
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: so important that people that come from the manufacturing world,

170
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: that have parents like you had, that there are shop teachers,

171
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: understand what's going on in this generation and how to

172
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: get them involved. We need we need people working. I mean,

173
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: there's really not an option when you grow up to

174
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: not work.

175
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're unfortunately under the Biden administration, they tried to.

176
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: Make it right. Yeah yeah, well, uh, and spent.

177
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: By the way, that was a disaster and it's still

178
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: and we're still suffering that hangover right now.

179
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: There's I think I heard a quote.

180
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: From Mike row seven points either one or two million

181
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: able bodied men not working. That's unconsfortable, and we need

182
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: to get back to the notion. No, that's dignity. You

183
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: want your dignity back. Yes, work, it's a good thing,

184
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: it's a healthy thing.

185
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: And I think they want I think they want to.

186
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: But if you, I mean just what we were talking about.

187
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: You talk about the shop in the thumb, and for

188
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: those of you listening outside of the state of Michigan,

189
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: we are a mitten and we do refer to that

190
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: area as the thumb of the mitten. That's where we go.

191
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: So in the thumb he's talking about in the mitten,

192
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: that shop that you're talking about that is so beautiful.

193
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure that they are able to program machines right

194
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: from their phone and all these fancy, all this fancy

195
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: fancy technology that they use. It requires you to be

196
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: able to read. So for all of the people that

197
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: are high falutant and think they're better than our manufacturing jobs,

198
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: that we've all done. You and they look down on

199
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: us and they go, oh, those are for people that

200
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: are uneducated. No, it's a very highly skilled job and

201
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: you have to read. And yet in Michigan, our kids

202
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: can't read.

203
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's one for you too. We're going to double

204
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: down on it. They can't read terrible.

205
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 3: And by the way, my wife and I are really

206
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: involved in trying to get reclaiming reading mitigation meeting.

207
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: We're going to get you back up to grade level.

208
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: So there's a not for off it called beyond Basics

209
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: doing phenomenal work here in Michigan. It's sad that we

210
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: have to do that because the schools aren't doing it.

211
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: But here's another one for I've been all these little

212
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: tool and die shops of which you are very very

213
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: familiar with. They were had three shops tell me they

214
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: had to take the question of reading a measuring tape

215
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: off the interview.

216
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I had that same conversation with people. Isn't that insane?

217
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: It's crazy? And you know what, they can't do fractions?

218
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: What is one in one quarter and one in three quarters?

219
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: Of course you and I know that's ten, but just kidding,

220
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: joking for you math wizards out there. But kids were

221
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: not able to figure that out on a tape measure,

222
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 3: and so they stop asking the question. Now they have

223
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 3: to come in and teach them fractions. Now these are

224
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: high school graduates. These are pretty These aren't complicated, really

225
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: complicated fractions. They're simple fractions. They're just not learning it

226
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 3: in school, so they can't. They come out and they're

227
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,479
Speaker 3: reading it an eighth grade level and they can't do fractions.

228
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 3: I mean, you almost have to try to do this

229
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 3: to a generation of kids.

230
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: We've got more coming up with Mike Rogers. But if

231
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: you're over forty and you are worried about your heart health,

232
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: then you need to listen to this. There is this

233
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: Japanese superfood called natokines. A sixteen year study of over

234
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: thirty thousand people found that it can actually reduce heart

235
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: attack risk and improve your cardiovascular health. You might not

236
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: know this, but Japan actually has the world's second longest

237
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: life expectancy and that's for a reason. It's because they've

238
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: used this powerful natural enzyme for thousands of years. So

239
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: I have great news for you. Luma Nutrition has perfected

240
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: a powerful natokines formula. It's made in the USA and

241
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: it is third party tested for purity and quality. You

242
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: want to buy your supplements from a source that you

243
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: can trust. So let me tell you a little bit

244
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: about Luma Nutrition. They were founded by a former US

245
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: Army officer and they are on a mission to provide

246
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,280

00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: up to forty percent off when you visit lumen nutrition

249
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: dot com. It's Luma nutrition dot com. Go there today,

250
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: visit lumen nutrition dot com. It's veteran owned and proudly

251
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: made here in the USA. Now stick around, We've got

252
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: more after this. It's interesting because we had this I'm

253
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: going to say something maybe controversial. We had a third

254
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: grade reading law here in the state of Michigan, and

255
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: it was that if you haven't if you can't read

256
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: by third grade, you have to be held back. And

257
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: Whitmer just repealed that. The governor just repealed dot law

258
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: last year. So now all these kids are getting passed through.

259
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: They were getting passed through anyway. And the problem with

260
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: a law like that is that it's only effective if

261
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: it's enforced. And then how do you enforce it? I mean,

262
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: are you going to take people to jail at our schools?

263
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: What are you going to do? It really has to

264
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: be that we hold the schools accountable for their whether

265
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: or not their kids are able to read, and then

266
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: if they can't read, I really think there has to

267
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: be reading specialists. I think there has to be a

268
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: focus on helping them actually get to grade level. There's

269
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: just so much punishment that's going on and yet the

270
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: kids are still not reading.

271
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so part of this program and there's I can

272
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: get into the policy side if you want, but on education,

273
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: this is where I think the FEDS could help the

274
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: state and local government. And I look forward to having

275
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: a Republican governor that we can have this conversation about

276
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: getting kids reading again versus how we don't want to

277
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: talk about it in this state. Is this reading reclamation program?

278
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: They can teach kids to read at grade level from

279
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: six to fourteen weeks.

280
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: Think of that.

281
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: So this isn't you know, this isn't a horrific burden.

282
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: And I'm going to tell you what the secret sauce is.

283
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 3: Everybody paying attention here, This is very very very secret. Phonics.

284
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 3: They use phonics to get these kids back reading at

285
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: grade level because years ago the education establishment decided that

286
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: whole were learning was the ticket.

287
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: Well, guess what.

288
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 3: Whole word learning has been a disaster. And remember phonics.

289
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: I don't know many. I'm sure a lot of folks

290
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: that you have listening understand what phonics are.

291
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: There's probably a whole group. Go what is that.

292
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 3: It's where you learn to read by sounding out words

293
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: in a nutshell, so you can sound out any word

294
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: and by the time you're done sounding out you'll get

295
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: and understand what that word is.

296
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: Whole word.

297
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: If you don't recognize the word, you're never going to

298
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: get the word. You don't know how to break it

299
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: down on the syllables to read that word. It's been

300
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: a disaster. Kids can't read. And so my argument is

301
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: we use that title one money that they're going to

302
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: disadvantage schools in the third grade, and you make that

303
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: a reading reclamation program assigned of money. You take a

304
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: reading assessment. If you can't read going into the fourth grade,

305
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: then you have to go through it. You have to

306
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: show that you're going to have this mediation, by the way,

307
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 3: which the government can help pay for, because that money's

308
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: already there. And here's the key to this. If you're

309
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: not reading in fourth grade. By the fourth grade, you

310
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: have a seventy percent chance of going to prison or being.

311
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: On one right, that's exactly right. So why couldn't it

312
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: be I mean, with the program you're talking about, why

313
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: couldn't we say, if you can't read by the end

314
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: of third grade, you're in this school, this program for

315
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: summer school, and that just has to be the way

316
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: it is. I just I really think that we are

317
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: in this mode of how do we punish you if

318
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: you can't read? And it's already hard enough if you

319
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: can't read, and you're not in a good situation at

320
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: home because too many of the families from my generation

321
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: and the generation below me, they're raising the kids and

322
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: a lot of them can't read. So when you have

323
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: whole word learning, that is very hard because the parents

324
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: might not know the word either. So now you've got

325
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: your doubling down, because this kid, if you teach phonics,

326
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: you can learn on your own. If you teach whole

327
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: word language, you have to learn with a parent, and

328
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: if the parent doesn't know, you're not going to learn exactly.

329
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: And here's how we fix that.

330
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: If you're on government assistance program, we want to help

331
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: people we're a country that should help people when you

332
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: need it. We want to give you a hand up,

333
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: not a handout, but one of the requirements should be

334
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: and you know, we have a twenty hour work requirement now,

335
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: which I think is an important thing to do for people.

336
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 3: It helps you get better, it helps improve your economics, allows.

337
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: You to upskill.

338
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: Is that that first twenty hours you need to spend

339
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: on a reading reclamation program, take a reading assessment. Let's

340
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: get you reading at grade level. So we're going to

341
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: help you and you're going to help yourself. And here's

342
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: the benefit of that. You're going to help your kids.

343
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: Because that's what's happening is you have this cycle of

344
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 3: parents who can't read and not reading to their kids.

345
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: We've talked to kids beyond basics thing who didn't have

346
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: a book in the house, not a magazine, not a book,

347
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: not a newspaper, nothing, and so they've never been even

348
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: exposed to the idea of reading. And why because the

349
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 3: parents can't read. It wasn't something they could do.

350
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: And it's such an embarrassing thing. If you can't read.

351
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: That's and if you're a parent and you can't read,

352
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: the last thing you want is to be embarrassed in

353
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: front of your kids, so you just continue hiding it,

354
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: which you know, I've never really thought about the idea

355
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: of connecting that and testing people to see if they

356
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: can read. We have robbed so many people in this

357
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: state of an education because if you can't read, you

358
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: can't learn math. If you can't read, you can't learn history.

359
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do without reading. And yet we've

360
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: passed these kids, and we feel no responsibility for the

361
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: fact that our tax dollars went into these schools that

362
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: failed kids. And we don't have to be failing kids,

363
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: but we've failed kids for generations, which makes it really

364
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: hard to get people back on track. So I love

365
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: that idea of having something for their parents to be

366
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: able to help them too.

367
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

368
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and I'm excited about it, Honestly, I can't. I

369
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: could get fired.

370
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: Up about this.

371
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: And if you think about why that piece is so important,

372
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 3: you have to break this cycle. And just a quick

373
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 3: note on teachers, because there's this new t well, it's

374
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 3: not the schools. It can't be the mystery. It must

375
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 3: be the teachers are doing the It is not the teachers,

376
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 3: I think. So I have a lot of teachers in

377
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: my family have a special ed teacher, and my cousin,

378
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 3: my niece is a is a fifth grade teacher. And

379
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 3: what they're finding is, so, let's say you're a fifth

380
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: grade teacher and you they pass you out of the

381
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: third grade. You can't read at fourth grade level, and

382
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: why that's important? You learn to read to the third grade.

383
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: You you, I think I said that right. You learn

384
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: to read by the third grade, and you learn by

385
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: reading fourth grade up and really for the rest of

386
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: your life.

387
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: Right, You're learned to read and then read to learn.

388
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: Yes, there you go, thank you. That was the way

389
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: I was supposed to say it.

390
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 3: Up.

391
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: You see, I might have to go back to the

392
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: reading assessment.

393
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: But it's true. It's true. If you can't read, you

394
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: can't learn.

395
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: Learn, especially fourth grade, and for the rest of your life.

396
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: So think of this as fifth grade teacher gets a

397
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 3: student in who isn't reading even at the third grade level.

398
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: How do you teach fifth grade material exactly?

399
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 3: Who's not Really, it's so unfair to these teachers, and

400
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: I think they're getting club for this. It's not them,

401
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: It is the teachers' unions, and it's the administration of

402
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: these schools that has bought into the notion just plow

403
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: them out the other end and hope for the best

404
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 3: well work.

405
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: And we're fighting over these stupid concepts of you know,

406
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: what can we teach about culture war issues from kindergarten on?

407
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: And yet our kids can't read and that. And in

408
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: Michigan it's now we are forty fourth in the nation

409
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: for education. And like you said, Mississippi, Mississippi is like

410
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: the golden child. Now we're all talking about the Mississippi miracle,

411
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: which I have to say I love because it means

412
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: that it can be done, and that means that it

413
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: can be a Michigan miracle as well. We have since

414
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 1: I ran. When I was running in twenty two, we

415
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: were thirty eighth. We're forty fourth now. I mean all

416
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: of the money that we have invested in education and

417
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: we continue to invest in education, and I think is

418
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: very important, don't get me wrong, but it should also

419
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: be including an education that the end you should be

420
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: able to say you've been educated, oh that, oh that

421
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: you know.

422
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: Think of this Mississippi about nine thousand of student Michigan

423
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: fourteen thousand dollars a student. Their reading scores are higher

424
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 3: than Michigan. It's not money. This notion that oh, if

425
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 3: you just give the schools more money, this will come

426
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: out right, that is just not true. We need to

427
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 3: absolutely hold these schools accountable. And the fact that Michigan

428
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 3: is not signing up to the Donald Trump's Donald Trump's

429
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: Scholarship that's seventeen hundred dollars for people who need it

430
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 3: to make a choice to go to a school that

431
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: chooses to.

432
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: Teach reading and math is criminal.

433
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 3: I mean, our state ought to be first in line,

434
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: so that we're not forty fourth or tenth or four

435
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: or five. And by the way, we ought to start

436
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: every year saying we're going to be number one in

437
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: the country. Why any other standard. They're like, oh, but

438
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 3: we're not last.

439
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: Well, I think that I would argue that they're trying

440
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: to distract from it. I don't think that they. I

441
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: think they just care about votes, and I think they

442
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: just care about power. And I mean this about the

443
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: Democrats in the state. It really doesn't seem to ever

444
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: be about people. Because you've got this talk of we've

445
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: got to have free lunch and free breakfast and lunch.

446
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: And while I think it's important that the kids who

447
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: need a free breakfast in lunch, Absolutely get it. I

448
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: think that is also critical that they can read, and

449
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: that is never mentioned. You will not hear a single

450
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: Democrat talk about actually making sure that the things that

451
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: are meant to happen in school happen in school, just

452
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: like you will not hear them talking about the violent

453
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: crime in the state outside of in areas where they

454
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: somehow identify with the people, because Democrats have this weird

455
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: tolerance for crime against people they don't care about, and

456
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: in Detroit seems to be that situation. We had two

457
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: hundred and three I think you wrote something about this,

458
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: two hundred and three murders in twenty twenty four.

459
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 2: Yes, And by the way, they're saying, isn't that great? Honestly?

460
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

461
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 3: Right?

462
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: How awful is that?

463
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: God? It's just shocking.

464
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 3: And we're about four hundred percent higher than the national

465
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: average in violent crime aggravated assault, rape, one hundred and

466
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: eighty percent higher than the national average. Detroit is the

467
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 3: second most dangerous city by population in the country. And

468
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: what Democrats are saying is nothing to see here.

469
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: Move along. Oh, did I tell you that we've cut

470
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: down the number of.

471
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: Carjackings in the city, right, they're happy with a murder number.

472
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 2: I do not understand this.

473
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 3: I think people in those neighborhoods deserve every bit of

474
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 3: safety to walk to the store, to go to church

475
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 3: without getting accosted by street gangs or aggravated assault or robbery.

476
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: We're about two hundred percent higher than robbery. And the

477
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 3: reason the President went into Memphis is guess with the

478
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 3: number one most violent city was by population. It was Memphis,

479
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: and they said please come in. Yes, my gosh, their

480
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 3: crime right is going down? Shocking Why. I mean, my

481
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: argument is if you could say, if I came to you,

482
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: tutor and said I've got a program for you, Madam Governor,

483
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: that we're going to save one hundred lives this year

484
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: in the city in Detroit, one hundred lives, say won't

485
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: cost you hardly anything. I bet we'd be jumping up

486
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 3: and down saying, how do we do this? How do

487
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: we save one hundred people? What are the Democrats in

488
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 3: these cities saying? Nothing to see it here, don't come in,

489
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 3: we don't need you. We're exactly two hundred and three murders.

490
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: You have literally said that, You came out and said

491
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: I would welcome the National Guard. Your opponents and the

492
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: governor of the state said they would they never want

493
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: the National Guard here. So essentially, you said I can

494
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: prevent one hundred murders at least and they said no, yeah, exactly.

495
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 3: It makes no sense to me. But here's the thing.

496
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: All of the Democrats in the suburbs are all apparently

497
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: okay with this because they don't have that prime problem

498
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: in their neighborhood.

499
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: That's exactly well, and they don't have really any they're

500
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: elected officials, they're congressional elected officials and Senate. They don't

501
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: have anybody from dangerous neighborhoods. How lucky of them.

502
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: Exactly.

503
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: And here's the thing that people don't understand is the

504
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 3: cynics on the left will say, oh, Republicans are doing

505
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 3: this to give votes.

506
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 2: We don't.

507
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: Yes, we'd love people to understand how conservatism can better

508
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 3: your life. We don't need your vote. We're not doing

509
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: it for your vote. How about your safety. We care

510
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 3: about people. I don't care what your zip code is,

511
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 3: I don't care what your address is.

512
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: We want you to have the.

513
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 3: Same safety and good education and access to healthcare than

514
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: all of your liberal friends who say they care about you,

515
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: but would never even drive through your neighborhood.

516
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: That's true.

517
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: It's so offensive to me. I was a street agent

518
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 3: in the FBI. I worked organized crime in violent crime.

519
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: In the city of Chicago. When I was an agent,

520
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: I've been in these neighborhoods.

521
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 3: I've spent a lot of time in these neighborhoods. I've

522
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: talked to a lot of victims in these neighborhoods, and

523
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 3: you know what they really want. They don't want anything

524
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: different than you and I want for our kids. They

525
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: want them to be safe, they want them to learn

526
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 3: how to read, and then they want them to be

527
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 3: able to better their lives. You can't do that if

528
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 3: you're not giving them the tools. And what democrats have

529
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 3: said is as long as it's in these neighborhoods, we

530
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 3: don't care.

531
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: We've got more coming up with Mike Rogers. But first

532
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about my newest partner, Rough Greens.

533
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: You may have heard me talk about this, but I

534
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: have started using this with my dog and I have

535
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: seen this amazing difference. I have this little puppy. He

536
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: has skin issues. He has itchy skin, flaky skin. I

537
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: know this sounds really gross, keeps me up at night licking.

538
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: If any of you have this problem with your dog,

539
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: you have got to get Rough Greens. I talked to

540
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: the owner a few weeks ago. He was like, you

541
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: got to try this. Give me ninety days. Ninety days later,

542
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: my pop whiskey is totally different. Roughgreens provides natural antioxidants,

543
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: anti inflammatory compounds. It reduces stress. I can just see

544
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: that he is so much happier. So I'm not just

545
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: recommending it. I literally depend on it to keep my

546
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: dog happy and healthy. And the best part about this

547
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: is you don't even have to change your dog's food.

548
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: Rough Greens just like this little green stuff you shake

549
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: on top of the food, and they are offering you

00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: watch the health benefits come alive. Now stick around. We've

559
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: got more with Mike Rogers after this when you were

560
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: running for Senate. I think it was while you were

561
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: running the last time. Maybe it was a little bit before.

562
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 1: There was a shooting at a splash pad and Alissa

563
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: Slotkin came out and had a press conference about how

564
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: upset she was about the shooting at the splash Pad. Now,

565
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: let me just tell you it was in a very

566
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: wealthy area. She probably had a lot of donors. It

567
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: was maybe five days later Detroit saw the worst mass

568
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: shooting they had ever seen and it was almost all,

569
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: if not all, women eighteen to twenty five who were shot.

570
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: And not only did Alyssa slot Can say nothing, but

571
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer said nothing. And Gretchen Whimer had done the

572
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: whole tour of media on how all we have to

573
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: prevent this gun violence because of this splash Pad shooting.

574
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: But again, they're tolerance for crime against people they don't

575
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: seem to care about. They can identify with it. I

576
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: don't understand what it is, But how do you ignore

577
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: young women being shot?

578
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there were nineteen victims in that shooting.

579
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 3: It was the largest mass shooting in Detroit's history. Think

580
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 3: of that, and it was gang violence generated. You know,

581
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: I bet if you ask them, would it bother you?

582
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 3: If the National Guard were on patrol nearby, would it

583
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 3: bothered you?

584
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: Then?

585
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: Of course not, And so they And again it's because, honestly,

586
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 3: I think Donald Trump said it first, that you cannot

587
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 3: tolerate the idea that this might actually work and crime

588
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: might be averted. Think of the mayor of Washington, DC,

589
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: who said, terrible idea. I don't like it. I don't

590
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 3: want them here. They came anyway, and she said, Okay,

591
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: I was wrong.

592
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: It works right, okay.

593
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: And I give her credit for coming out and saying

594
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: that and backing off, because that's hard in their party.

595
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: We can see. I mean, look at Hakem. Jeffrey's right now,

596
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: is still wondering what he's going to do about Mom Donnie,

597
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: because everybody in their party is saying, he's our nominee.

598
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if he's a communist. We have to

599
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: choose him. And that's not too different from your opponent.

600
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: One of your opponent potential opponents, Abdul Elsaiad, was out

601
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: campaigning with Mom Donnie and he is very much on

602
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: the same kind of socialist, communist bent that Nanni is.

603
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: So what do you think about that for Michigan when

604
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: you see the Democrats are not willing to break from anything.

605
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean again, I give Mayor Bowser a credit that

606
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: she was finally able to say, Okay, Trump did something good.

607
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen with Democrats in Michigan. So

608
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: how do you go up against somebody who wants to

609
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: bring these communist policies to Washington, c DC right out

610
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: of Michigan.

611
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: You know the good news? I so trust working families.

612
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: I came from a working family. You came from a

613
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: working family. We understand these people, and the Democrats do

614
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: not understand them. I mean, if you look even at

615
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: the three opponent and they all went to fancy schools,

616
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 3: you know, somewhere else and came here and now are

617
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 3: going to help Democrats and working people. They don't understand

618
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: working people, and you know, working people are not going

619
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: to put up with the government running their healthcare where

620
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: you have to call a bureaucrat in Washington, d C.

621
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: To find out if you can lance your boil or not.

622
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: I mean, they are not understanding what how hard the

623
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: unions and working people fought for their health care benefits

624
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: in this state, and they did fight for them. And

625
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: they're good health care benefits because they earned them. That's

626
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 3: what they don't understand. They earned them and so they

627
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: have good benefit packages. They're not going to turn that

628
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 3: over to the government. And the very fact that they

629
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 3: want to run your grocery store, right, most people get it,

630
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 3: that doesn't make good common sense.

631
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: I don't. I really I want.

632
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: Somebody who knows how to run a grocery store running

633
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: a grocery store. My selections are going to be pretty

634
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: good by the time that's over. And if you think

635
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 3: about the direction they're going on. By the way, stop

636
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 3: trying to indoctrinate my children at school. For God's I

637
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 3: want them to do reading and writing. Don't teach them

638
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: the twenty six letters of the alphabet, not that there's

639
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 3: twenty six genders. I mean, get away from all that

640
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: nonsense and just go back to basics. My dad used

641
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 3: to call it the three r's, reading, writing, and arithmetic.

642
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: We stick to that. My God, we're going to We'll

643
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: be right back.

644
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: This whole generation of kids will be the next greatest

645
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: generation in this country, and so I think working people

646
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: are going to identify with our message.

647
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: You know, the Democrats are trying to scare the Jesus

648
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: out of people.

649
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 3: Oh you're you know, the Republicans hate you, Conservatives hate you,

650
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: and by the way, just stick with us.

651
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: Well, here's what's sticking with us.

652
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: Has gotten us four of the most dangerous cities in

653
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: America here run by Democrats.

654
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: Education.

655
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 3: Now, as you said, even from when you ran, now

656
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 3: we're forty four thirty thousand manufacturing jobs. Lost your kids

657
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: coming to you and saying, hey, mom, I might have

658
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 3: to go out of state to get a job. I

659
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: gotta leave all of the things that rip people's arts.

660
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 3: This is what they have given us. And we're going

661
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 3: to make sure that people understand what they have done

662
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 3: to your family, to your future prosperity, and that most importantly,

663
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 3: we can fix this. It's absolutely doable that we fix this.

664
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: And the highest energy cost in the Midwest, I mean,

665
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: it just goes on and on. My girls were learning

666
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: about the Keystone pipeline the other day and I said, well,

667
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: got shut down, and they were like, what do you mean,

668
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: doesn't say that in our notes? I said, maybe even

669
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: gotten there yet but that's the story, you know, And

670
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: it's interesting as they learn these things, and just even

671
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: in the Christian school, I've realized that there is so

672
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: much anti Trump stuff, not coming from the school necessarily,

673
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: but in the materials that they're buying. And one of

674
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: the teachers was like, we didn't actually know that this

675
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: was so anti Trump. I love the fact that the

676
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: President had the Senate over at the White House the

677
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: other day in the Rose Garden because he was able

678
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: to flip the narrative on we're going to lose the midterms.

679
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: And I think that's critical because he's he understands the

680
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: media and he knows that for him to be the

681
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,959
Speaker 1: person talking, he has to do something to get the

682
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: media there. He looked straight at those cameras he said,

683
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: you know what, I've been told that you lose it.

684
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: You have like a ninety one percent chance of losing

685
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: the midterms. And we're not going to lose the midterms.

686
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: And it's not us keeping the government shut down. These

687
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: guys are keeping the government shutdown. We're at the second

688
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: longest shutdown in history. The longest was twenty eighteen when

689
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: they shut it down for thirty five days. This is

690
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: a there's a pattern here. They want the American people

691
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: to think Trump is the problem. He was a genius

692
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: when he went on the news and he said, We're

693
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: not the problem. They did this to me before, and

694
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: it seems like, based on numbers and polling and sentiment,

695
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: that the American people believe him this time. They're like,

696
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: you know what, it does look like the Dems. How

697
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: does that play out for the midterms?

698
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 3: Listen, don't I think that by the time the midterms

699
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 3: get around, hopefully they'll have this result. But I think

700
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 3: people are starting to buy into this notion that Democrats

701
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 3: don't really care about what's good for you. They care

702
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 3: about what's good for them. And when you have Schumer,

703
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: the leader of the Democrat Party in America today is

704
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 3: the highest ranking Democrat in their party today, saying that

705
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 3: this shutdown is good for us. And when he says us,

706
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: he's talking about Democrats and politicians in Washington, DC. You know,

707
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 3: there's about three hundred and fifty million dollars of lost

708
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 3: economic activity justin Michigan every single week that they do this.

709
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 2: And these are small.

710
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: Businesses, these are dry cleaners, these are little restaurants and

711
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 3: mom and pop diners. You know, this isn't general motors

712
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 3: or all the other stuff. This is the backbone of

713
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 3: our state. They don't seem to care that law enforcement's

714
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: losing their checks, that the military's families are not worried

715
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: about getting paid, that people who are trying to get

716
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 3: their social secure already check worked out because.

717
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: They need the money.

718
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 3: There's nobody to answer the phone because the Democrats think

719
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 3: that this is good for their political position, and having

720
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: the Trump having President Trump look at the camera and say, man,

721
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 3: this is bad. And I think people are going to

722
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: understand who's doing it. And here's the thing. All they

723
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: have to do is vote for the extension, come back

724
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 3: and negotiate. That's what the whole place is about.

725
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: So explain that really quick, because I think people are

726
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what are they fighting against. They've

727
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: always signed this, they've always voted yes for this.

728
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: Thirteen times prior, the Democrats voted for extensions just like

729
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 3: this to keep negotiations going. It doesn't add money, there's

730
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 3: no partisanship in it, there's no nothing. It just says

731
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 3: we're going to pay our bills for the next fill

732
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 3: in the blank twenty days. Why we negotiate and the

733
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 3: Democrats said, nope, we're not going to pay our bills

734
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 3: because we think Republicans will get blamed. This is so,

735
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: this is the most cynical part of politics I have

736
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: seen in a very long time. And it just goes

737
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 3: to show you a tutor that they have walked away

738
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 3: from working. I don't even think they understand who working

739
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 3: people are anymore. No, No, that check that doesn't come

740
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 3: at the end of the month means something. It means

741
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 3: hardship in their family, it means sacrifice that they shouldn't

742
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 3: have to make. And so that's happening to people who

743
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 3: had nothing to do with this. And then the added

744
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 3: economic cost to our state, to these small businesses around

745
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 3: the state, it's devastating.

746
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: And we're hearing about snap benefits getting interrupted soon. I mean,

747
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: at a certain point this, I know people are like, oh,

748
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: what do we need the government for? Well, there are

749
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, public safety, transportation, You've got TSA not getting paychecks.

750
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: All of these people are just sitting there going it's

751
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: good faith work. Now we're hoping that we get paid.

752
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: That's terrible. How could you do that to any family?

753
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: And we're going into the holidays This is the thing

754
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: that makes me the most mad. I look at this

755
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: and I think I'm at that mode right now where

756
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing my calculations of Okay, can I can I

757
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: get through Christmas? What are the Christmas gifts I can

758
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: get for people? Every family is doing that. That's real life.

759
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: But it's not real life for these people. They don't

760
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: care and they're getting paid no matter what. And it

761
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: just makes us out here in the country crazy. And

762
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: that's why I will say to people here in Michigan,

763
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to take the Senate back.

764
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 2: Yes, well, think about it.

765
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: We haven't had a Republican in thirty two years, so

766
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: the Democrats have been in charge and our voice in

767
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 3: Michigan for thirty two years. Hey, how's that working out

768
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 3: for you?

769
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: And having the most people in the Senate is critical.

770
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: I know that. Right now, people go, oh, well, we

771
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 1: have all three branches and we're all we're in good shape.

772
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: But you have to have a even bigger majority in

773
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: the Senate.

774
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you need sixty votes to stop what the

775
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 3: Democrats are doing. And what they're doing, remember they've voted

776
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 3: twelve times now to say no. I don't want people

777
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 3: to get paid in the government. I want it closed

778
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 3: down because I want the political advantage, not because it's

779
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 3: good for And they're saying, well, this is about healthcare,

780
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 3: so you want you want illegals to get Medicaid.

781
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: Benefits, you want them back.

782
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: Well, by the way, if you're able bodied, you don't

783
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 3: want them to work twenty hours a week. That's what

784
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 3: they're fighting about. And there's you know, John Kennedy, if

785
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 3: you want to look this up, Senator John Kennedy, Louisiana, always.

786
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: Worth a chuckle.

787
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 3: He goes through and finds the craziest things that they

788
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 3: want to do.

789
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: One of them, the one I remember off the top.

790
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 3: Of my head, is a pastry and dance classes for

791
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 3: male prostitutes in Haiti. What that's in the package that

792
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: they want to refund and make you pay for it?

793
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 3: My I mean, you start looking at these and there's

794
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of yeah, even you can't make it up.

795
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 3: There's also they want to pay it's like half a

796
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: million bucks to a gay pride parade in Lesotho, Africa.

797
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, even what we're looking at. I look at

798
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: what we're looking at in New York right now, New

799
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: York City, And I'm thinking, this guy is saying that

800
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: he's running on these conservative Muslim values, but he is

801
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: promoting prostitution and he voted for it. I mean, it's

802
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: not just promoting He voted to legalize what they call

803
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: it sex work, it is prostitution and said, you know

804
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: what he said, the reason was because people who are

805
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: selling their bodies, people who are engaged in sex work,

806
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: they cannot get paid right now because their landlords are

807
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: afraid that they will be considered pimps and get arrested.

808
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: And I'm like, think about the mental gymnastics you have

809
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: to go through to get to the point where you

810
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: say you should legalize prostitution, and we know what happens.

811
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: Then you really do turn women into slaves for pimps.

812
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: And that's what he's promoting. How on earth did we

813
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: get to the point where that is something that could

814
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: happen in the United States of America?

815
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 2: You got me.

816
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 3: And it doesn't work in the rest of the world either.

817
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 3: And by the way, I worked human trafficking cases as

818
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 3: a part of my work against the Chicago organized crime

819
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 3: and people say, well, it's the woman's choice. It is

820
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 3: not always the women's choice. It is they have there

821
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 3: at the end of their rope, and there are absolute

822
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 3: predators who take advantage of these women and put them

823
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 3: into it. It is prostitution. I have a hard time calling

824
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 3: that sex work. It's prostitution. And by the way, there's

825
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 3: drugs involved. The cases we were working, they were deliberately

826
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 3: getting these women hooked on heroin so that they could

827
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 3: put them on the street and make them work it

828
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 3: off in their terminology. How we would tolerate this, you know,

829
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: what's why? Because maybe you don't drive through that neighborhood.

830
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: These are human beings as these are young tids, younger women.

831
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 3: They're your daughters, they may even be your mother's. There

832
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 3: were cases where there were moms who are so at

833
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 3: wits end thought maybe this is the only way I

834
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 3: can care for my child. That's not when you're doing that,

835
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 3: you're not making a choice. You're making the worst best

836
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: choice for your family. But why would we allow that

837
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 3: to be an option.

838
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: It's dangerous, so and you are not you are not

839
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: making a choice. You are being forced into a dangerous situation.

840
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: So many, I mean, you know, so many of those

841
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: women end up dead, They end up with diseases, they

842
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: end up abused, and this is what we are hearing.

843
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: You are the perfect person to say that this cannot

844
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: happen to New York City because you saw it when

845
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: it was illegal. Imagine making it legal.

846
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, what will happen is there'll be a legal

847
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 3: process to guarantee you this is going to happen. There'll

848
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: be a legal process, and some people will follow the

849
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 3: legal process, but it will unleash the illegal underground to

850
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: do whatever they want in sexual trafficking.

851
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 2: And that's just the way it works.

852
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 3: And so you think that money is going to go away,

853
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 3: you think those gangsters aren't going to take that money.

854
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. And the other part of this.

855
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 3: Is when that woman has reached where they don't think

856
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 3: they can make money off of that young woman, then

857
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 3: she's out. You don't know where to go. You know,

858
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 3: could be death, could be absolute overdose. I mean the possibilities.

859
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: And by the way, let's look at it this way.

860
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 3: Do you want to look your daughter in the eye

861
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 3: as a senior in high school and say, hey, sex

862
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 3: trafficking work, that's an option, right?

863
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: No, God, no, we can't let ourselves get there.

864
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: And that to me is why your race another reason

865
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: your race is so important is because you have a

866
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: candidate on the Democrat side who is saying I'm for

867
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: mom Donnie and all of his policies, and if that

868
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: goes to the federal government and you get enough support,

869
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 1: which I know sounds insane. However, I say nothing sounds

870
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 1: insane today after the things that I have seen coming

871
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: out of the progressive wing of their party. It has

872
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: gotten so out of control and it's taking control. I mean,

873
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: you can see that Bernie Sanders is still leading the

874
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: charge with all of these rallies. They have so many

875
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: people coming. The progressive wing is pushing out you. That's

876
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: why we're in this shutdown, pushing out the hockeym Jeffries

877
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: of the world, and they are taking over. I cannot

878
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: express enough why this Senate Senate seat is so important.

879
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has endorsed you. Tell people how they can

880
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: go to your website and help you out.

881
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks Tudor and all the help that we got

887
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,799

888
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 2: go a long long way. And if you're in Michigan,

889
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 2: we'd love to have your help.

00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 3: those things matter and they do count. And the most

893
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 3: important person that the endorsement that I will get, I

894
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 3: mean President Trump's endorsement was phenomenal. Is is somebody in

895
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 3: a neighborhood walks next door and says, hey, I'm gonna

896
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 3: tell you why I'm voting for Mike Rogers will likely

897
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,839

898
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 3: So I don't want people to think, well, I'm you know,

899
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 3: I'm just who am I. You're everything and your circle

900
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 3: of friends will pay attention to you. So go on,

901
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 3: Rogersfirsenate dot com. Let us not allow Mandami's policies of

902
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,479
Speaker 3: socialism show up at the shores here of our great

903
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 3: life state.

904
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's got to be said, because I

905
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: know in the last election it was like nineteen thousand

906
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: votes and we actually had a lot of base voters

907
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: who just didn't come out, and I think that you know,

908
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: in Michigan, we have this kind of unique situation where

909
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: we have a lot of people who are very involved

910
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: and just like you said, those people that will go

911
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 1: to their neighbor and say this is why those people

912
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: to go to their neighbor and say this is why

913
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: not they have just as much impact. I promise you

914
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 1: that rule of if we're aligned eighty percent of the time,

915
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: that's good is important here because you want to make

916
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: sure that we have Republican votes. The altar is what

917
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,959
Speaker 1: we were just talking about, young women in danger, sex

918
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: trafficking going off the charts, and open border, all of

919
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: fights in the Middle East. I mean, this is the

920
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: kind of stuff that is on the line. So when

921
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: you are going out there and talking to your Republican friends,

922
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: understand the vote has got to come through.

923
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, we need you to show up. You know,

924
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 3: it's great to talk about it. I do think of this.

925
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 3: You can have an impact for our state if you're

926
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 3: from Michigan by electing a Republican governor and a state

927
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 3: Senate and a state House to finally get us out

928
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 3: of the doldrums here in right direction and prevent nonsense

929
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,120
