1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. We've got Michael 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: Francis with us here today. You probably remember we had 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: him on Notorious Mob Boss went to prison just so 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: happens to have been in the same cell as Jeffrey Epstein. 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: So I wanted to have you back to chat about 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: all things politics, but also of course that we have 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 1: to cover that. 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: I'm good to go, Tutor, all. 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: Right, awesome. So I saw that you were saying that 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: you don't think it's possible to have committed suicide in 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: that cell. Obviously we've been looking at what's going on here. 12 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: There's this weird missing part of the tapes because the 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: cameras mysteriously went out at the same time as the 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: guards fell asleep. But you were in that cell, So 15 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about what that cell actually was. 16 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, there always seems to be something mysteriously missing 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 2: when it's for other people's convenience, But that wasn't my 18 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: experience spending you know, several months in that same tier 19 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 2: in that cell, and you know, first of all, you know, 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: this this perfect storm of the cameras going down and 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: the correctional officers not walking the tier. I never experienced 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: that tutor, and I was in lockdown for quite I 23 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: spent twenty nine months in lockdown, so I have a 24 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: lot of experience being in solitary, and that's what that 25 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: tier is all about. And I've never witnessed anything like that. 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: Number One, the correctional officers are always walking the tier. 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I've said this many times, 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: not to be offensive, but you know, you're trying to 29 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 2: use the toilet and they're opening the door looking in 30 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 2: on you constantly. 31 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: And I heard you say that. I thought that was 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: interesting because I think that, you know, we've never been 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: in prison before. You think solitary is like you're by 34 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: yourself and people bring you food and it's on a 35 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: schedule and you are kind of alone. But to hear 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: you talk about the fact that you're just kind of 37 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: on display all the time, and I thought of that 38 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: as where he who was it? Debbie Wasserman Shultu came 39 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: out and was like, all these people that go to 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: these holding centers, they have to brush their teeth while 41 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: they go to the bathroom, Like you're literally being watched 42 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: while you go to the bathroom. 43 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean it's not constantly. Don't get me wrong 44 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: that every time you know you do that they're watching you, 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: But quite often they do, because they check on you 46 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 2: a lot, especially if you're a high profile inmate like 47 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 2: I was, So I know the drill, you know, And 48 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: there was times when I was next to the Menendez brothers, 49 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: they were checking on us all the time. We didn't 50 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: have any and this that was in a different facility. 51 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, but I'm saying if you're a 52 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: high profile inmate, especially, they're always checking on you. And 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: you know the. 54 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: Cameras is on suicide watch. 55 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: Yeah he was prior to this, he was on suicide 56 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 2: Watch for a while, so I know that they're going 57 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: to be giving him, give him even more attention, you know. 58 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 2: So to say that they weren't watching, or they fell asleep, 59 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: or they were playing online shopping whatever they claimed they 60 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: were doing, and then the can down at the same time, 61 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: and then there's it just doesn't make sense to there. 62 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: And again, you know, I've said I have no horse 63 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: in this race. It doesn't matter to me either way 64 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: would happen. But I just cannot believe that all of 65 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: these things happened and nobody happened. Nobody knows what happened 66 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: with Epstein. That's number one. Number two, I don't know 67 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: how he can commit suicide in that cell. I really don't. 68 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: You'd have to be I've said this so many times, midget, 69 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: you know, to try to do it, because there's really 70 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: nothing you can hang yourself from. You know, it doesn't 71 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: make anything. 72 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: Say that there was a window high up and that 73 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: there were bars on the window. 74 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: Well, you know what. So on, you know, you're still 75 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: it's still difficult. And he didn't do it from the window. 76 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: They claimed he did it from the bedpost. So they 77 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: showed the actual place where he did it from the bedpost, 78 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: and you'd have to be trying to lay on the 79 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: ground and pulling it yourself to try to choke yourself. 80 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: There's just no way you can do it. You couldn't 81 00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: do that. 82 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: That is the because we talked to his attorney, Alan 83 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: Dershowitz about this, and he said, I think that he 84 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: had to have had help from inside the prison, that 85 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: somebody had to have helped him do this. And we said, well, okay, 86 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: so how long was this sentence. I didn't have a 87 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: whole lot of details on this case. So that's why 88 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to Dershowitz, and he said he 89 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: hadn't been sentenced yet. He could have potentially been getting bail, 90 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: he could have been getting out. And he was like, 91 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: that's the weird thing. I don't know why he killed himself, 92 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: but he said, you know, these guys who've lived this 93 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: high profile life, in this very you know, high falutint life. 94 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: He's had at anything he's ever wanted, private jets, he's 95 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: got beautiful homes. Maybe it was just too much for him. 96 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: I mean, what's your take on that. 97 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: I don't believe that. Also, because you know, number one, 98 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: he had skated an issue once before. Number two I believe, 99 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 2: you know, just according to the information that's come out. 100 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: I mean, this guy had videotapes on high profile people. 101 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: He had people that he was definitely bribing, starting back 102 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 2: with that Les Wexner. You know, I believe he felt 103 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: he'd get out of it again. Why would he commit suicide. 104 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: The guy's been skating this for twenty some odd years, 105 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, now it's not going to happen. 106 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: It just doesn't make sense. And yeah, I do believe 107 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 2: that if there wasn't suicide, somebody had to come and 108 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: assist him with that. There's no way he could have 109 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: done it alone. Tutor. It just doesn't make sense. It doesn't. 110 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: It's really weird. But I mean, the timing of all 111 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: of this coming out and these attacks on the president, 112 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: it seems like a great distraction from what the president's 113 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: doing right now. And to be honest, I think that 114 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people have used this story to divide people. 115 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: And is it worth dividing people on a story that 116 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: is this old when you have so many good things 117 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: happening with the country. 118 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 2: Well, you know, my only issue with that, Tutor. Of course, 119 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: the people on the left neglect to say that this 120 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 2: whole investigation was done during the Biden administration and nothing 121 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 2: came out then. But obviously that's conveniently forgotten because any 122 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: time they can attack Trump, they will. But you know, 123 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 2: I think the important issue here is I had a 124 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: fellow by nay name of Paul Hutchinson on my podcast, 125 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,799 Speaker 2: and he was the one in the movie Sound of Freedom. 126 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: He financed the movie. He was also it was his 127 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: character that went and rescued those fifty one or fifty 128 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: two young girls at that time that was seen in 129 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: the movie. He's dedicated past ten years of his life 130 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: to helping these sex trafficking victims, and some of the 131 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: things he told me, tutor was just so atrocious, the 132 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 2: way they treat these young girls, the way they have 133 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: a menu of, you know, sexual services that these young 134 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 2: girls will perform for money. And you know this, Epstein 135 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: was at the height of this, and there were other 136 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: elitist people involved in this, people with power, and we 137 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: have to stop this. These people have to be held 138 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,119 Speaker 2: accountable for abusing young children, both male and female. So well, okay, 139 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 2: is yeah, I mean this has to come out. You 140 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: can't just sweep this under the road. 141 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: So let's get into that a little bit. Because you've 142 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: been talking about you've been out there talking about George 143 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: Soros and what he's been doing with these prosecutors and 144 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: the folks that he's gotten elected and news and all 145 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: these guys you're talking about trafficking. You are from New York. 146 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: You guys have in New York. They just through the primary. 147 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: They have a new candidate for mayor. He is pro 148 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: sex work. He wants to legalize sex work. Essentially, if 149 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: you legalize sex work, what you just talked about is 150 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: legal you can own people and sell them and sell 151 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: their services. This is like sex slavery. There's this weird 152 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: thing on the left where they're like, oh, women should 153 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: be able to use whatever they want to make money. 154 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: It's never the woman that's making money off of this. 155 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: You end up with a guy who is selling women 156 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: and owning women, and you have Epstein legal. I mean, 157 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: what in the world is happening? 158 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: You know, I hate to say, it's my hometown and 159 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: I love the state, but I don't know if they're 160 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: losing their collective minds, you know, on the left to 161 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: put somebody like this, a socialist who's really really on 162 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: the socialist side, I don't know. I don't I can't 163 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: even respond to this. It's so it's so insane. It's 164 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 2: so insane. I don't know where we're going in this country, Tutor. 165 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: I really mean it that a guy with his background, 166 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 2: his beliefs can actually become, you know, mayor of the 167 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: biggest city in the country, you know, a position that 168 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: can vault you into, you know, the top tier of politics. 169 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 2: I don't get it, you know, I really don't, But 170 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 2: I can tell you this, it's horrific. With this human 171 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: trafficking of young of young male and female it's it's horrific, 172 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: and it's it's happening at a big level all over 173 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 2: the world, and not primarily, but a major part of 174 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: it is happening here in the United States. 175 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: I think if there were more awareness about it, if 176 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: we were actually to you know, these cases, they're hard. 177 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: It's hard to bring awareness because people are under age, 178 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: so you can't really expose a lot of these cases. 179 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: I don't think people realize that we are the second 180 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: highest sex trafficking nation in the in the world, so 181 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: when you look at the United States, and certainly having 182 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: an open border has been a part of that. But 183 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: I do think that you talk about politics, I think 184 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: it's been interesting to listen to the way you talk 185 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: about politics because you talk about this as like this 186 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: is similar to how a mob family is set up. 187 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: There's different levels, there's so you have an insight that 188 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: we don't have. And when I got into the political world, 189 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: I was like, man, this is it's really hard to 190 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: break in and and the corruption is incredibly strong, to 191 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: the point where just recently one of my relatives was 192 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: meeting with someone who has been in on the Democrat 193 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: side four years and she said to this person, how 194 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: could Tutor have possibly broken into this like it's not 195 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: open to the public. I mean, essentially the answer was 196 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: it's not open to anybody, which I was naively thinking 197 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: that in this country it is open to anybody. And 198 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: truly I've proven that it is, but the political elites 199 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: do not think it is. So how have you explained 200 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: a little bit about how you've seen the mob organization 201 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: work and how you see that in the political structure 202 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: as well. 203 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: Well, you know, Tutor, there's and all saying absolute power 204 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: corrupts absolutely and I saw it in the street in 205 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: the mob. You know, look, we had certain codes and 206 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 2: rules and policies there and if you break them, you know, 207 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: the consequences could be very severe of those policies for 208 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: political reasons being broken and people suffered as a result 209 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 2: of that. I see the same thing in government. You know, 210 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: people want to maintain power, that's it. And you know, 211 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: forget Democrat Republican. But I think it's been highlighted over 212 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: the past four or five six years where we've seen 213 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: the Department of Justice go after its political enemies, where 214 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: we see, you know, power try to limit power on 215 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: the other side, and we see it more today than 216 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 2: anywhere else. So this is like mob families fighting over 217 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: one another, fighting to stay in control and to stay 218 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: in power. All we hear now, you know, is negativity 219 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: from both sides. And this is supposed to be a 220 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 2: Congress that's working on behalf of the people, not working 221 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: on behalf of one another. They're supposed to be working 222 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: together to try to you know, to solve issues and 223 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: try to make this country better. But instead they're working 224 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: against one another to try to maintain power. And that's 225 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: how it is on the street, and it's so obvious. 226 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: And now they'relling out all stops by weaponizing, you know, 227 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 2: the Department of Justice, the FBI, using the tools that 228 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: they have to conquer the other side. So the American 229 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: people now are there in the background. It's all about 230 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 2: them maintaining power so that they can they can, uh, 231 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: you know, put their power upon us and put their 232 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 2: policies upon us. 233 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: You know. 234 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 2: Look, we even look with the you know, the last 235 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: election with Kamala Harris being installed, the Democrats didn't even 236 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: have an opportunity to choose a candidate. Now that's not 237 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 2: supposed to happen. They're not supposed to install somebody and 238 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: say Okay, this is going to be the person that 239 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: we're putting up there for president. So and that's just 240 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: one example. And I'm not trying to go Republican Democrat 241 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: because it happens on both sides. But in the last 242 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 2: four or five years, we've seen this power. It's like 243 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: two mob families fighting for territory, fighting for power, fight 244 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 2: to maintain control. It's so obvious to me because I 245 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: saw it. I'll be honest with you, it wasn't It 246 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 2: wasn't as in your face. Back then, politicians tried to 247 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: do something shady. They didn't want to be out there. 248 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: But now it's like they don't tear anymore. They're just 249 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 2: out there and they're shame. We want to be in control. Period. 250 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 251 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. So I will say, I feel 252 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: like we're seeing this right now on the Republican side. 253 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: In Texas, everybody loved Ken Paxton. He was this great 254 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: attorney general. He was suing Joe Biden and his administration 255 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: and they were lifting him up. And so Ken Paxton 256 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: was kind of like the MAGA person in Texas, and 257 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: people felt like John Cornyn was kind of the old Republican. 258 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: And then Ken Paxton comes out and he's running for Senate. 259 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: And there were a lot of people that said you 260 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: shouldn't run against an incumbent suddenly, and let me tell 261 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: you, you don't. I don't think that Ken Paxton would announce 262 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: a campaign and run for office if he thought that 263 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: his family was going to have a public blow up. 264 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: But somehow, in the midst of this, his wife puts 265 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: out a statement saying that she's been this to These 266 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: terrible things from their marriage have come to light, and 267 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: she's divorcing him. He has to publicly respond, and everything 268 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: looks very much like someone in the other political camp 269 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: went to her and destroyed their lives. And my problem 270 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: with this is here you have our own side. You 271 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: have two people that talk about being Christians, talk about faith, 272 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: and they go to the heart of the family and 273 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: break it apart. That's pretty twisted. 274 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a tutor, but there again they forget 275 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: that this isn't about the American people anymore and about 276 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 2: the country. It's about getting into power and getting into control. 277 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 2: It's so obvious to me sitting back, It's like, you know, 278 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: it's again, it's mob families warring among one another to 279 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: maintain power. You know, you go on social media and 280 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: you have people all they do is k not the 281 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: other person on the other side of the aisle. They 282 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: don't offer anything to the American people. They don't. They 283 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: don't do anything positive. It's just knocking everything that the 284 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 2: other side does. And look, I'll give perfect examples. You 285 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: have Elizabeth Warren, you have Adam Shift every single day. Unfortunately, 286 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: they're in my feed and all they do is not 287 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 2: calling Trump. They don't offer anything positive to the people, 288 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: you know, and why because they want him out of 289 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: power so that they can get back in power. And 290 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 2: what do they do when they get back in power. 291 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: They impose their will on us. Hey, you're gonna do this. 292 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 2: You're going to we're gonna lock down for COVID, You're 293 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 2: going to pay more taxes. You're going to do this, 294 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: you know. And it's another thing I tell the American people. 295 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 2: I said, listen, with thirty six trillion dollars in debt 296 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: and counting every minute, we didn't do that. Irresponsible government 297 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: did that. They ran up the bill and now they're 298 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: imposing it on us to try to fix it. Well, 299 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 2: you have to pay our taxs. Well, you know, it's 300 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 2: just so unfair. It's gotten so out of control. I 301 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 2: don't know what the solution is. But again, when you 302 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 2: think of the nationally, you think of our debt being 303 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 2: thirty six trillion dollars and our leadership that we put 304 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: our trust in, they caused that. It wasn't us, It 305 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: wasn't the American people. American people are starving because we 306 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: have to carry that debt. 307 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: Through side deals and sketchy business dealings. And this is 308 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: all as you said, power corrupts, and there's no check 309 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: on this power. That's the weird thing, because there's no 310 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: When you're an elected official, the bosses are the people, 311 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: and you can get re elected, and there's nobody. The 312 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: Ethics Committee. I mean, for years, the Ethics Committee was 313 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: the one that was saying, Okay, this is how much 314 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: taxpayer money we'll use to settle this issue so the 315 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: American people don't don't know about it. It wasn't about 316 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: exposing it to the American people. It was protecting the 317 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: people in Congress and where there are millions of dollars 318 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: of taxpayer money that have gone to people who were 319 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: harmed by someone in Congress and that was hidden. And 320 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: that to me, that to me is where Republicans right 321 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: now should be saying, hey, that congressional slush fund, that 322 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: we still have people in Congress who took money from 323 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: us to cover up their sins, the bad things that 324 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: they did, the sexual abuse, the children that they harmed, 325 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: those those are the that's the list I want. I 326 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: want the list of people who took taxpayer money to 327 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: cover up their own offenses. 328 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 2: Tuty is so right on that, you really are, you know, 329 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 2: but so much of this stuff is hidden from us. 330 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 2: We don't know what's going on. You know, to think that, 331 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: you know, the IRS will go after somebody because they 332 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: didn't pay ten thousand dollars in taxes. You meanwhile, where 333 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: they're paying the taxes to or abusing the money left 334 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: them right and putting us in debt while they were earning, 335 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 2: while earning and living good lives. And look I went through, 336 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 2: you know, I spoke in front of the Senate you know, 337 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: staff and a number of senators were there. It was 338 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 2: the anniversary of nine to eleven, and they took me 339 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 2: on the tour. I mean, these people don't even get 340 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 2: wet in the rain. They've got every perk available to them. 341 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. 342 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: They're like every one of them is like a mini prince. 343 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: You know, they have a staff. I don't think people 344 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: realize there's so many perks. All your meals are you 345 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: get to go out to fancy dinners all the time. 346 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: You are treated like you're much much more of an 347 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: elite than anyone else in the country. 348 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. And the problem is, do you think we could 349 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: ever reverse this? The answer to me is no, I 350 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: don't think we ever can. So where does it ultimately lead? 351 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 2: You know, I've never in my seventy four years and 352 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 2: I've never seen this this divisive and this bad. And 353 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a solution. I think America 354 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: is headed in in a very difficult direction. If this continues, 355 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: and every day it's worse, it's worse. I mean, they 356 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,719 Speaker 2: just keep butting heads and screaming at one another and 357 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: trying to maintain power. And I think Trump is I 358 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: do believe, you know that Trump is trying to get 359 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 2: this country in order. I really do believe that nobody 360 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 2: is perfect. There's going to be mistakes along the way. 361 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 2: We understand that, but I believe he's really trying to 362 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 2: bring this country back. Whether he can do it or not, 363 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 2: you know, it's a huge task. 364 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: It's been interesting to watch because his approval rating. In fact, 365 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: just on CNN today they came out and they said 366 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: his approval rating is even going higher, you know, offer 367 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: all these attacks, even some of these right wing, hardcore 368 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: right wing influencers who have been attacking him lately, his 369 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: approval rating across the nation just goes to show Twitter 370 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: is not real life. His approval rating keeps going higher. 371 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: So he's in the among Republicans, he's over ninety percent 372 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: right now. He's doing a great job, happy with what 373 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: he's doing. It's interesting to watch the Democrats right now 374 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: because this past week they had Zoron Mamdani in DC 375 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: and he was meeting with a bunch of people, and 376 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: certainly that's been kind of a highlight of what's happening 377 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party right now because he has made 378 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: the comment sees the means of production. He says he's 379 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: a socialist. His statements are communist. I talked about him 380 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: wanting to decriminalize sex work. He has also said that 381 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: he also voted against protecting people from revenge porn. Those 382 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: two things together are to me very dangerous for women 383 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: in the city of New York. But also is this 384 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: the direction that Democrats are wanting to go? And Democrats 385 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: are struggling with it. Hakim Jeffries doesn't know what to do. 386 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: They've got this guy who they are now in a 387 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: position where you have to make a decision. It's not 388 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: a small city. It's probably the most important financial city 389 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: in the world. It is one of the most important 390 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: cities in the country. This guy would be running I mean, 391 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: it's it's he's similar to what you would be running 392 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: the government. You know, he's running the government for New 393 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: York City. And he's a young guy. He's talked about 394 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: how if he runs out of money, his parents will 395 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: just fund him. He's never run anything, he's never been 396 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: a part of a business, he's never had a job 397 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: as a part of a business. And he speaks in 398 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: all of these bizarre socialist slash slash communist terms, and 399 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: yet the Democrat Party is going, well, you know, I'm 400 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: going to endorse him. Rocanna, who has prided himself on 401 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,719 Speaker 1: being more of a moderate, he came out and endorsed him, 402 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: and they said, well, what about this, what about this? 403 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: What about this, and he said, I don't agree with 404 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: him on those things, but you put your name on 405 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: his campaign, You put your name to him and said 406 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: you agree with that. You once you've said I'm for him, 407 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: you have to be all in. So what does that 408 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,479 Speaker 1: mean for the Democrat Party and watching this love fest 409 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: in New York for someone who is so radically anti American, 410 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: how does that jive for the Democrats going forward in 411 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: the midterms and in twenty twenty eight. 412 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,239 Speaker 2: Well, here's what I think. I think that you know, 413 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 2: they've totally lost their way as a party and they're 414 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 2: doubling down on all the wrong things. And this is 415 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 2: the ultimate double down on this Mondami because look, you know, 416 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 2: they've taken up the cause of illegal migrants coming back 417 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: into this country. They went after that fellow Garcia and 418 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: made him a hero until they found out who he 419 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 2: really was all about. They just anybody that they believe 420 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 2: is getting attention and maybe taking attention away from the 421 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: Republican Party, from away from Trump. That's who they're doubling 422 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 2: down and going after. They just don't have a direction. 423 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 2: They don't have a good candidate, they don't have direction 424 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 2: to go into. So anybody that seems to attract attention, 425 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: and people like what, we're jumping to that person, even 426 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 2: if it's a socialist, the communist or whatever, even if 427 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 2: they have ridiculous policies, insane policies, because Tutor, all their 428 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 2: policies are insane. And that's why, you know, Trump's approval 429 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 2: ratings are going up, because the sane people in this country, 430 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 2: in Middle America and every whales, and there's many of them, 431 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 2: you know, are saying, this is so radical. We can't 432 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 2: accept this. I mean, we can't accept gender affirming surgery 433 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: for our children, you know. In California finally, you know, 434 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 2: I mean, Newsom passes a bill where these kids at 435 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 2: eleven twelve years old can have sex changes and the 436 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 2: parents don't know about it. This is demonic, it's insanity. 437 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 2: And the Democratic Party seems to double down on all 438 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 2: of these crazy issues. And I think that most of 439 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: the same people in this country, and most people are saying, 440 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 2: we can't accept this. You I don't know, you know, 441 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 2: I don't know what's happening to my people in New York. 442 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: I just hope. I mean, look, Clomo was not a 443 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 2: good candidate to run against him. He's got too much baggage. 444 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: In his past, he would decriminalize sex work too. 445 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 2: From exactly exactly, but I want to say, you know, 446 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 2: we need a two party system in this country. We 447 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: don't want a one party system, a three party system even. 448 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 2: We need to have choices in that regard, but we 449 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: got to also have good candidates on the democratic side. 450 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: Where are they who would you look at and vote for. 451 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 452 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. You brought up something interesting and 453 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: I want to go there just for a second, because 454 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: you brought up these surgeries, the transgender surgeries. And I 455 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: heard something this morning last week. Doctor McCarey came out 456 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: and he is the head of the FDA. Right, I'm yes, 457 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: So doctor Marty McCarey came out and he said that 458 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: they've been some research and they found that women who 459 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 1: have their ovaries removed have a much higher risk of 460 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: heart attack. And he said, in fact, we found a 461 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: young woman who was in her twenties who had her 462 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: ovaries removed and had died of a heart attack at 463 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: twenty six. And his point was not about transgender surgeries, 464 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: but he was saying, you know, we've been looking at 465 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: this hormone replacement therapy, and we found that in women 466 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: who are going through menopause, it's very important that they 467 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: have hormone replacement therapy because it seems as though estrogen 468 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: is protecting the heart in women. And it made me think, 469 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: here's that's true science. And here we have doctors who 470 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: are removing the ovaries of young girls, giving hysterectomies to 471 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen year old girls. This is criminal to me. 472 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: And yet when we talk about it, the Democrat Party 473 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: is in this world now where it's like upside down 474 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: is right side up and vice versa. You can't have 475 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: a real conversation. 476 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 2: You know. 477 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: I wrote an op ed about a situation that we 478 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: had in our foundry, and this is the frustration that 479 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: I have today, because we had in twenty ten, we 480 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: had ice raid our factory and take out one of 481 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: our longtime employees. He'd work there before we even bought 482 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: the company. And it was devastating and it was a 483 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: horrible situation. And Obama was president and when we tried 484 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: to go to immigration and hire an immigration attorney, they 485 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: were like, you know what, it's the law. And he 486 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: broke the law and there's nothing we can do. And 487 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: back then, no matter what party you were in, if 488 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: you broke the law, it meant something, and today it doesn't. 489 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: No. You know again, I just don't understand. They're on 490 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 2: the wrong side of every single issue. Common sense wise, 491 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 2: not Democrat Republic, it's just common sense. Look, you're an 492 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: illegal migrant in this country. You know, I think I 493 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 2: don't think any of us want to see, you know, 494 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 2: families torn apart. If there's illegal immigrants here that are working, 495 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 2: paying their taxes and trying to do the right thing. 496 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 2: I would love to see them have a path to citizenship, 497 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 2: and I think most people would. Nobody's against them. But 498 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 2: we have to get Sometimes because an issue has gone 499 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 2: so far, you know, overboard, you have to bring it back. 500 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 2: During that time, some people are going to suffer. You know, 501 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 2: We've got to get it. And I tell people all 502 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,239 Speaker 2: the time, why are we at this point? This is 503 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 2: Congress's fault. Again. They haven't come up with it. They 504 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 2: haven't come up with a good policy that makes sense. 505 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 2: And you know, again, it's the people that suffer for 506 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 2: it when they don't do their job. They're blaming this, 507 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 2: they're blaming Trump, They're blaming by everybody's to blame except 508 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 2: the people that really deserve to blame, and that's Congress 509 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 2: to come up with a good immigration policy that makes 510 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 2: sense that people can follow that doesn't you know, hurt 511 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: one side or the other. But they don't do it. 512 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: And I'll end on this. You've talked about Whitman. She's 513 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: the governor here in the state of Michigan, and she's 514 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: just been exposed for taking twenty million dollars of taxpayer 515 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: money giving it to a longtime donor of hers. She 516 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: actually appointed this woman to the Business Development Board, which 517 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: is an outside private organization that is appointed by the governor. 518 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: She appointed her president, and then they decided that some 519 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: of the money that would go to businesses to recruit 520 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: them to the state of Michigan. They gave her twenty 521 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: million to create an incubator company that would create other businesses. 522 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: It had never existed before. The money was in many 523 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: cases not all spent, but it was spent on like 524 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of dollars on first class tickets overseas. 525 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: They bought a five thousand dollars coffeemaker. This woman is 526 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: taking an over five hundred thousand dollars a year salary. 527 00:28:54,640 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: Out of this, no businesses have been created. Now there's 528 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: conversation that is being exposed between the governor and this 529 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: woman's office, like, hey, we're going to get this money 530 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: for you. To me, this is top of the line corruption. 531 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: These things have got to be exposed because states like 532 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: ours cannot we can't recruit new businesses if we're going 533 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: to be giving money to all of the politicians' friends. 534 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: And as you pointed out, this is happening on both sides. 535 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: When you just give us a little idea, because you've, 536 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: like I said, you've compared this to the mob, tell 537 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: me how you see business having to interact with government 538 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: from the perspective of what you saw the mob doing, 539 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: because you said, in the mob you own people. I mean, 540 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: you own politicians, you own police. You you're familiar with this. 541 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: No, absolutely, you know. Look, you know I can say 542 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: it was guilty myself. There was a gentleman that had 543 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: a Chevrolet dealership and he always say a bad gambler, 544 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 2: and he got in trouble with some of my people, 545 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 2: and he owed several hundred thousand dollars and I took 546 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 2: over his cheval a agency because he couldn't pay the bill, 547 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 2: and you know, and look, we allowed him to continue 548 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: to get in debt. We didn't cut him off and say, hey, 549 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 2: you know, this has to stop now. We let him, 550 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: you know, destroy himself, and then we took over his agency. 551 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,719 Speaker 2: I mean, it's the same. Look, it's a different manner 552 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 2: in which the government works. They feed one another and 553 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 2: then you know, they put money in their pockets, and 554 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: they put money in their friends pockets and their relatives pocket. Meanwhile, 555 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: this stealing this money from taxpayers, This is theft. This 556 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 2: is not where taxpayers money is supposed to go. This 557 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 2: stealing it, you know, they absolutely are. And you know, 558 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 2: the only way to stop this, tutor would never happen. 559 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 2: Of course, it's ridiculous for me to even say it. 560 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 2: But if every taxpayer got up and said, we're not 561 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 2: paying on taxes anymore, end of story, lock us up. 562 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 2: Well they couldn't do that, obviously, correct, but it would 563 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: be the only way. When you cut the money stream off, 564 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: then people listen. If the government didn't have our money 565 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 2: to play with anymore and to abuse anymore, well then 566 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 2: this would stop. But of course it's not going to happen. 567 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 2: There's no other way to get this under control because 568 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 2: it's going to continue. Look, I just read I don't 569 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 2: know if it's true or not, but I just read 570 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: that AOC is worth twenty two million dollars. She's in 571 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 2: Congress five years. 572 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: She has I think she has denied that, but we 573 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: certainly know that Nancy Pelosi has her her financial situation 574 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: has skyrocketed. But that's the thing We've watched multiple people. 575 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: It's like, you're not supposed to be making money outside 576 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: of your salary, but they go in to government and 577 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: they come out very, very wealthy, and where is that 578 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: money coming from. I also, I mean, I have a 579 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: strong feeling about people who have been lobbyists going into 580 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: government and vice versa coming out government and becoming lobbyists. 581 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: You're if you were making money off of the government, 582 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: then you will continue to make money off of the 583 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: government if you decide to go back into the government. 584 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: I just think that's that can't be trusted because that's 585 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: what you did. The political world has become a place 586 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: where whether you're speaking about it, or you're involved in it, 587 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: or you're selling to it, you are there is just 588 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: massive money on the line. And I think that's what 589 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I believe that President Trump is trying to 590 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: cut that. And we saw Speaker Johnson come out and 591 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: say we've cut a lot of waste, and I appreciate that. 592 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: It's just like you said, it's ingrained and it has 593 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: to be ripped out by the roots and will they 594 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: have enough time. That's why we have to continue this 595 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: America First movement of people who are trying to make 596 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: sure that the people come first and that the people 597 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: are still we the people and not we the politicians. 598 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: But that is going to be a hard thing to do. 599 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: Before you go, I want you to talk a little 600 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: bit about your wines because I know you know you've 601 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: got a wine brand, and I want to plug that 602 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: for the people so that they know where to get that. 603 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: You yourself have had such a fabulous story, such a 604 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: fabulous comeback story, so I want to give you a 605 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: chance to talk about what you're doing now. 606 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 2: Well, thank you too. Do Yeah. I'm actually in the 607 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 2: wine and the pizza business and the wine side of it. 608 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 2: We've been in business now three years. We import our 609 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 2: wine from Armenia, which is the civilization where the wine 610 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 2: first began. It was first rediscovered, I should say in Armenia. 611 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 2: It's the oldest vineyards in the world and we've been 612 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 2: in business now three years. Last year we were in 613 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 2: four hundred locations. This year we're in thirty five hundred 614 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 2: locations and growing nationwide. We now have a non alcoholic 615 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: wine for people who want to enjoy wine but don't 616 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: want the alcohol in it. So we're really progressing and 617 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 2: you know, people are enjoying it. They're loving it. You 618 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 2: can buy it online Director Consumer on all major retail 619 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 2: outlets now holding it. So I'm excited about it. Listen, 620 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 2: it's what this country is about. You know, we're a 621 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 2: capitalist nation and if we can you know, invest our 622 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 2: time and our funds in the meantime, you know, we're 623 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 2: providing something a service to consumers. We're putting people to work. 624 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 2: That's how this country grew, you know, by doing that. 625 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 2: We're a capitalist nation. We don't want you know, the 626 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 2: government feeding us everything. We don't want to have to, 627 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 2: you know, depend upon the government for every facet of 628 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 2: our lives because that gives them ultimate control over us, 629 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 2: and we don't want it that. We want to obey 630 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 2: the laws because we want to protect society. We have 631 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 2: to have laws, but we also want to be our own, 632 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 2: live on our own and enjoy our lives, and that's 633 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 2: what this nation has always afforded us. And to see 634 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 2: it corrupted the way we are seeing it now in 635 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 2: the hands of people that all they care about is 636 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 2: themselves and making money and enjoying the purpose and the 637 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 2: power that we the people have afforded them, it's very frightening. 638 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 2: And I don't know the solution. I wish I did, 639 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 2: but I think somebody like Donald Trump understands that he 640 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 2: cherishes this country. It's given him the opportunity to be 641 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 2: a wealthy guy, and I think he wants to see 642 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 2: that for everybody, and hope, hopefully you know that continues. 643 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: I think your story is a true gift. I mean, 644 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: I think you have a perspective having gone through what 645 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: you did and coming out of it and changing who 646 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: you are.
