00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: When you're running for office and God wants to use you,

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: it's not easy because generally God doesn't call you to

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: the easy stuff, right, And when you find out when

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: you get into politics, you find out it's nothing like business.

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: Everybody is not your friend. You're not trying to make

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 2: a deal. It is very hard to find friends. But

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: one thing I found is that the Republican governors in

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: this country are amazing. So many of them would take

10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: a moment and take time to sit with me and

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: talk with me. And Governor Nom is no exception. But

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: I will say that she went above and beyond because

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: we would go to these meetings with the Republican Governors

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: Association and she said, come and sit with me and

15
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: have lunch with me, and let me talk to you.

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: And it's so important because she comes from a state

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: that is thriving, thrive And when you look at Michigan

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: and you see that the governor here, her own administration

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: put out a report that we will not have population

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: growth through twenty fifty, and you see that South Dakota

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: is growing every day record numbers. That's why it's important

22
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: to have people like Governor nomes sit down and talk

23
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: to us about what we can do to improve and

24
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: so we are so grateful to you for being here tonight.

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 3: She should have been. Can you even imagine what Michigan

26
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: would have looked like if she would have been. It

27
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: would have been a whole different state. Wouldn't have it

28
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: You'd be growing, You'd be thriving, You'd have more money

29
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: in your pockets. Your kids would be safer, they'd have

30
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: a better future. Their teenagers and college students would have

31
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: the careers that they want. Homes would be cheaper, they'd

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: be more affordable because you have more opportunities. In South Dakota.

33
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: Justin I've been governor, the incomes have gone up thirty

34
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: six percent. We are the only state in the country

35
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: where our overdoses are going down, our mental health challenges

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 3: are going down, our suicide rates are going down. And

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: it's because people are happier. And the reason they're happier

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: is because we've just let them be free. We let

39
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: them make decisions for themselves that they should be making.

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: You know, I think the world of Tutor. I just

41
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 3: think she's fantastic. I think she's normal, which is so amazing.

42
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 3: In politics. You can find somebody who's normal that just

43
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: is doing this for all the right reasons. She just

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: wants to serve people. And I think the conversation we

45
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: need to have tonight is going to be a family discussion.

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: I really want to have a family discussion with all

47
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: of you about this election, what it means, what it

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: means for our future, and why I'm going to ask

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: you to do more than you've ever done before. I'm

50
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: going to get you to figure out a way to

51
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: be uncomfortable, be uncomfortable in your skin, knowing that every

52
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: day you don't have enough hours to go out and

53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: talk to enough people. Because we as people in this

54
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 3: country that love America, we love our history, We've got

55
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: a lot of faith and hope, we have decided that

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: it's more important to be right than to go out

57
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: and win the hearts and minds of people, than to

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: go out there and really talk to people and spend

59
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: time having conversations about what it means to their family,

60
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: to bring people a little bit of hope. One of

61
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: my favorite scripture verses that I talk about every once

62
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: in a while is that scripture verse in Deuteronomy says

63
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: how lovely are the feet of them that bring good news,

64
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: proclaiming peace, announcing news of happiness, and it's our God reigns,

65
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: but I always and it says our God reigns several times.

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: But what is amazing about that is I would love

67
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: it if when people saw you coming and you want

68
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: to talk politics, and you want to talk about this election,

69
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: that they would recognize that you're coming as someone who's

70
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: bringing hope, bringing news of peace, proclaiming happiness. And that's

71
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: really what our policies that we believe they bring, that

72
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: they bring a belief in our constitution, the opportunity that

73
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: it provides to grow up in America and have every

74
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: opportunity in front of you, not equal outcomes, but equal

75
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: opportunities to be successful and to go out and do

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 3: with your life what you feel called to do. And

77
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: that's really the conversation we need to have with people

78
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 3: this election cycle. So we'll talk about that in our

79
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: discussion a little bit. I'll talk a little bit about

80
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: how different it is in South Dakota than maybe what

81
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: Michigan has gone through the last several years. And what

82
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: we'll talk about is how leadership has consequences. It matters

83
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: who's an elected office. It matters who's in that White House.

84
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: I will tell you what I'm here for, President Donald J.

85
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 3: Trump tonight because when I was governor. When I was governor,

86
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: he let me do my job. When he was in

87
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: the White House, he let me make the best decisions

88
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: for my people in my state. And we were able

89
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: to never have a mandate, never closed a single business.

90
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 3: I never once even defined what an essential business was

91
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 3: because I didn't believe that governors have the authority to

92
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: tell you your business isn't essential. So we didn't do that.

93
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: We were the only state in the country that never

94
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: took the elevated unemployment benefits. Said thank you, mister President,

95
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: for the flexibility. But our people want to work, and

96
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: they did, and we broke the nation's lowest unemployment record

97
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: in the history of the United States of America at

98
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: one point nine percent. And we're still at just two

99
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: percent right now, you guys are more than double. We

100
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: are number one in the nation for the lowest unemployment

101
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 3: rate still and Michigan's number forty one. So when you

102
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: grow up, you can be like us. How does that sound?

103
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: All right? Our people work and they're happy, and they're

104
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 3: thriving and they're doing better, and we're having so many babies.

105
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 3: It is amazing. We are the number one state for

106
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: birthrate too in the country. I think people are having

107
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: babies because they're happy.

108
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: And she's right, Michigan can be that. Just so you know,

109
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: Michigan can be that. Yeah, I don't think you have

110
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: to be philosophical about this election.

111
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 3: You don't have to say, you know, if we did this,

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 3: if we cut taxes, if we re eased up on regulations,

113
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: if we actually trusted people and let them use personal responsibility,

114
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 3: which is what our constitution requires of us as leaders,

115
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: that you will be more successful. All you have to

116
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: do is look from state to state and see that

117
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: it mattered who was in charge, and see what happened

118
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: to their people and their families in those states. All

119
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: we did in South Dakota is what conservatives have always believed.

120
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: We just did it, and it worked, and it worked

121
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: historic revenues. We paid off all of our debts and bonds,

122
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: even for our universities and our technical schools. We built

123
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: roads and bridges and dams and railroads, and we did

124
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: the largest tax cut in South Dakota history. And we

125
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: still have more money and revenues than we ever had

126
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: in history. And we don't have an income tax, we

127
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: don't have a personal property tax. All we have is

128
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: a four point two percent sales tax. And we're doing

129
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: great and it.

130
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: And she was able to fix the roads without swearing

131
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: about it.

132
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, in fact, today somebody actually sent me. It's funny.

133
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: Somebody sent me a map of the United States of America.

134
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: And I think South Dakota was the state that swears

135
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: the least, which I didn't even know that we were ranking.

136
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: How I don't think that's true, though I've met enough ranchers,

137
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: met enough ranchers for that. But but that is, we

138
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: had the chance when President Trump was in the White

139
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: House to cut taxes. I served on the committee in

140
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: Congress that worked on that bill for two and a

141
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: half years. He trusts you with your own money. He

142
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: trusts you with your own money to go out and

143
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: make the best decisions for your family. And let me

144
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: tell you what this Vice President Harris. Her belief has

145
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: always been, has always been that the government makes better

146
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: decisions than you do. She wanted government run health care.

147
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: She wants the government to pay for college school loans.

148
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: She wants the government to decide what your taxes are,

149
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: and they all need to be higher. She is consistently

150
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: mandated and dictated to people. It would be a whole

151
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: different world if she gets into that White House than

152
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: President Trump, and your future would be a lot less free.

153
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,119
Speaker 3: You'd have a lot less liberties. And I'm not certain

154
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: if she's ever read the Constitution, because I've heard her

155
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: embrace and seen her sign on to enough legislation and

156
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: support it that clearly clearly says that you get less

157
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: control over your life.

158
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: Well, I think the important message here is that if

159
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: you are in a Republican state, the Republican governor trusts

160
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 2: you with your money. They don't want to take your

161
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: money and use it elsewhere. And look in Michigan, we

162
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 2: could have had much lower income tax, but the governor

163
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 2: decided to increase it so you could have a lower

164
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: income tax. And we should be moving toward no income tax.

165
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: We should be And that's the problem with the Harris administration.

166
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 2: What she has done as vice president, but what she

167
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: would do as president. She's already told you she will

168
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: take your money and give it to other people because

169
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: she believes in redistribution of wealth. She's telling you When

170
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: she says she's going to pay off student loans, when

171
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: she says she's going to hand out twenty five thousand

172
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: dollars to everybody for a first home down payment, she's

173
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: not telling people she is going to make them more prosperous.

174
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: She's saying, the government has to do this for you,

175
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: and you have to behold it, be beholden to the government.

176
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: That is how inflation rises. They want to keep us down.

177
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: You know, the average American family since it's been the

178
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: Harris administration in the White House the last four years,

179
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: is making thirty three thousand dollars less than they did

180
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 3: previous to that. In fact, their energy costs have gone

181
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: up by average of forty nine hundred dollars per family.

182
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 3: Just in the increase in energy cost is a dollar

183
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: more a gallon than it was four years ago. And

184
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: when President Trump came into the White House, it went down,

185
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 3: if you remember, because what did he do. He wanted

186
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: an American energy supply. Just if we had it here,

187
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 3: we were going to use our own resources and we

188
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: weren't going to rely on our enemies like the Harris

189
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: administration has done. So I clearly see that when it

190
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 3: comes to our policies. We can either put somebody in

191
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: the White House who loves America believes we should provide

192
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: for ourselves and rely on ourselves for our future, for

193
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: our energy and our food supply. And that is exactly

194
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 3: the opposite of what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have

195
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: done the last four years.

196
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: And if you hear Donald Trump say drill, baby, drill,

197
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: you've heard that. There is a reason for that, because

198
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: everything that moves in this country moves with energy, and

199
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: everything you buy or consume has been moved. The idea

200
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: that we have to do price fixing, that we have

201
00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 2: to go after corporations is completely crazy. They've created the

202
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: policies that have hurt us, and they want you to

203
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: believe that it's some big, bad corporation. They aren't for capitalism,

204
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: they aren't for innovation. They have crushed innovation in this

205
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: country in the last four years. The fact that we

206
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: were not only energy independent, but we were headed toward

207
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: energy energy dominance. There was a point when our gas

208
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: companies were saying, man, we can't even make a profit.

209
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: We've got such so much extra energy here because the

210
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: United States of America is rich with energy, and that

211
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: means that you have the most security in the world.

212
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: But they want to take that away from us. And

213
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: what does that do. It comes out of everybody's pocket

214
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: in this room.

215
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 3: Well, you remember the Keystone Excel pipeline, right that was

216
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: supposed to go through South Dakota. So what most people

217
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 3: don't remember is that when President Trump was in the

218
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: White House and then when Joe Biden was being sworn in,

219
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: he canceled that on day one. But in our state,

220
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: we already had all the equipment set up. The pipe

221
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: was laid out of across the state. Everything was there

222
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: and prepared. All we had to do was put it

223
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: in the ground and hook it up and get it going.

224
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: In fact, most people don't realize it wasn't going to

225
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: be the first pipeline that came from Canada and hauled

226
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: resources down to the refinery to supply our country with energy.

227
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: It was the third one. We already had two pipelines

228
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: in the ground that went from the exact same points

229
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: and delivered our oil. This one was going to be

230
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: more technology advanced, it was going to be safer, it

231
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 3: was going to be the security of having a pipeline

232
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 3: that would carry more capacity. It's not like we didn't

233
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: have pipelines in the ground already. This would have been

234
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: the third one. We've already done it. It was nothing new,

235
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 3: but they shut it down because they didn't want to

236
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: rely on our own supply and our friends for energy instead.

237
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: What are we doing now? We're enriching Iran, right, and

238
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: our enemies who are partnering with Russia, who are now

239
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: supplying our China with their energy supply. Correct, We literally

240
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 3: have countries that hate us partnering in new ways, and

241
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: they're doing it to defeat the United States of America

242
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: because they see an opportunity because this Harris administration has

243
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: been so weak. They've been so weak, and they have

244
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: emboldened and enriched our enemies to such a point that

245
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: they see an opportunity to finally cripple the United States

246
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 3: of America. And that has long term been their goal

247
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: this administration. The Harris administration went back into the Iran

248
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: nuclear deal immediately they lifted the sanctions off of Iran.

249
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: They've been able to keep billions of dollars and they've

250
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 3: used it to fund hamas and terrorist activities around the

251
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: world who just attack Americans in our way of life.

252
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: That weakness on the world stage has huge consequences for us.

253
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: Well, look at the consequences it has had in this state,

254
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: the way that that has torn this state apart because

255
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: the Biden administration, the Harris administration made the decision to

256
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: take sanctions away from Iran. I think the total is

257
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: close to one hundred billion dollars that Iran was enriched

258
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: in the time that they have been in office. And

259
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: do you know where that money went? October seventh and

260
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: that tore this state apart. And now we have people

261
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: that are saying, what side are you on? What side

262
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: are you on? We love people no matter what, and

263
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,239
Speaker 2: we were on the side of peace, and October sixth

264
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: was fine. October seventh was funded by a terrorist country

265
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: that was helped along by the Harris administration, and it

266
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: has torn the lives of American citizens and Israelis and

267
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: Palestinians apart because of the irresponsibility of the Harris Administration's

268
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: exactly right.

269
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about several topics tonight. We're going

270
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: to talk about inflation in the economy, because I think

271
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: that's what every family is suffering with right now. Every

272
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: family right now is struggling to prioritize what their costs

273
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: will be. We'll talk a little bit about our border.

274
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: We're going to give you guys a chance to ask

275
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: us some questions. So if you want to be talking

276
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 3: about something or ask a specific question on a topic,

277
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: you'll get the chance to do that so you can

278
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: be thinking about it. We're going to visit a little

279
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: bit about this vice presidential candidate that Kamala has chosen,

280
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: Tim Walls. I happen to know him pretty well being

281
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: my neighboring state, and we have taken just this last year,

282
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: the last few months, over seven thousand Minnesotans and moved

283
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 3: him over to South Dakota. We've had tens of thousands

284
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: of Minnesotans who have decided to leave his state and

285
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: come to South Dakota because of his policies and his

286
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: dictator type leadership skills that have been so devastating for

287
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: his state. And then we're going to talk about the

288
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: American dream and what that means, what does it look

289
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: like under the choices that we have on the ballot

290
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 3: this fall. But I know that with the tutor was

291
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: just talking about our national security, and that's one of

292
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 3: those issues that I think a lot of Americans need

293
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: to stop and pause and really realize the threats that

294
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 3: we have and the insecurities that we have. I have

295
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: spent I'm a farmer and a rancher and have spent

296
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: my life, you know, raising food to feed this country

297
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: and to feed the world. We had a very large

298
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 3: operation when I was younger. My dad was killed in

299
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: an accident when I was young and I ended up

300
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: quitting college and taking over our businesses. But I've worked

301
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: on food policy for thirty years, and I watched over

302
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: those last thirty years as China systematically came in and

303
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: first they started buying up our chemical companies in the

304
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 3: United States. Then they started buying up our seed and

305
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: fertilizer companies. Then we saw America for a period of

306
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: time embrace selling citizenship to the United States for investment

307
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: in our processing facilities. The vast majority of our processing

308
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: facilities and meatpacking plants are owned by Chinese companies now

309
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: and people that are affiliated with the CCP. Now we

310
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 3: have seen them come in, They've manipulated their currency, they've

311
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: stolen our genetics and our ip and now we're watching

312
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 3: them by our land and completing that full circle of

313
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: our food production in the United States. China has had

314
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 3: a thousand years plan for world domination. They've been trying

315
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: to take out the United States of America for hundreds

316
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 3: of years. For the last two hundred years, we have

317
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: been a threat to them ever since we were established

318
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 3: because we were so different in the experiment that our

319
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: founders gave us. They gave us the most wonderful experiment

320
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 3: in the history of the world by giving us this republic,

321
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: and it was so different. And China has seen us

322
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 3: as we rose to be the world's power, as a

323
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: threat to them, and they have a long term plan

324
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 3: to take us out, and they will make their people

325
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: suffer in order to get that plan complete. If we

326
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: think a pandemic was scary, wait until they control our

327
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 3: food supply. And wait until you go to the grocery

328
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: store and you realize you can't get food to feed

329
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: your family because China's decided that you can't get your food.

330
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 3: Did you know that they own quite a bit of

331
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: our ports in the United States? The La port that

332
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: you hear Newsom Bag bragging about all the time, it's

333
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: ninety percent owned by Chinese. Chinese companies and Chinese officials.

334
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: They have started hoarding their shipping containers in China. Everything

335
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: in this world that gets shipped across the ocean goes

336
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: in a shipping container, doesn't it. Why do you think

337
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 3: that they're keeping the shipping containers so that we don't

338
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: have access to them. That's what this election is about.

339
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 3: That's how important it is to get President Trump back

340
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 3: in the White House so that we have a strong

341
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: leader that stands up for America, puts China back in

342
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: its place, separates them between Russia and Iran. And when

343
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 3: we can fight any of those enemies and beat them today,

344
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: if they're all together, it gets really tough for us

345
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 3: to win that battle if they're partnering together. And that's

346
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 3: what this election is about, is what will America look

347
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 3: like if we have a week leader back in the

348
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: White House like Kamala Harris And can we be protected

349
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 3: from the invasion of China with this administration? No, we

350
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: already know that Governor Walls is obsessed with China. He's

351
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 3: lived there, his good grief, his wedding anniversary. He chose

352
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: the massacre of Tienneman Square so it would be memorable.

353
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: This is a man who idolizes the CCP and I

354
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: have a little bit different experience than the governor because

355
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 3: I come from the manufacturing world. So I saw it

356
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 3: from what they did to the manufacturing world, and I

357
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 3: saw foundry after foundry after foundry close because the Chinese

358
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: were coming in offering the lowest prices, and they were

359
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 3: pirating all same things, stealing our technology. And I will

360
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: tell you today, there are not many people who come

361
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 3: out of college and say I would love to start

362
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 3: a steel foundry. It's kind of a generational thing, sort

363
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 3: of something that gets passed down. Same as farms. When

364
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: people come out of college, they don't say, man, I

365
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 3: really like to start up a big dairy farm.

366
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: Just doesn't happen today. They are generational businesses that get

367
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: passed down from family to family, from father to son,

368
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: from mother to daughter. These once they're gone, they don't

369
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: come back. No one starts them up again. And so

370
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 2: when you hear her talking about food security and making

371
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: sure that we have enough food to feed this country,

372
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 2: what do you think the Chinese are doing buying up

373
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 2: our land. They're weakening us and a week America cannot

374
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: protect ourselves from a Chinese takeover. These are serious subjects.

375
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: We're here, folks, the people who think this is out

376
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: way out in the future, this one hundred year plan

377
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 2: of China, We're on your like eighty five. They've already

378
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: gotten this far. They have the largest navy in the world.

379
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't know that China is very powerful.

380
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: Our president decided to sit down and address the nation

381
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 2: and tell the nation that he was stepping out of

382
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: the presidential race. Didn't mention that he was doing it

383
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: because he's cognitively declining, but he did go. He did

384
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 2: announce that he was going to sit down and tell

385
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: the world this. At the same time, China and Russia

386
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 2: flew together off the coast of Alaska, first time they've

387
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: ever flown together.

388
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: It's here, it is, and that's the challenges we have

389
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 3: in front of us internationally. But we have challenges here

390
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 3: at home too. I think every person that I talked

391
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: to is challenged by the policies that are happening in

392
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 3: their communities and their cities, the violence, the crime we're

393
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: living with, what we have going on at the border,

394
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 3: the invasion that we're seeing of dangerous illegal immigrants, some

395
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: of them are criminals. Just in twenty twenty three, we

396
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: saw almost one hundred and seventy of them that are

397
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: on the terrorist watch list that came into this country

398
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: that we know about. We don't know about the ones

399
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 3: that we haven't caught, that we haven't found, and everybody

400
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 3: has seen our communities changed because of this. We know

401
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 3: that there's about ten million that have come into this

402
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: country over the border. We don't know how many millions

403
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: have come that we don't know about. There's been estimates

404
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: as high as fifteen to sixteen to twenty million. They're

405
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 3: fundamentally remaking this country by what they're doing and allowing

406
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: dangerous individuals to come in and rape and murder our

407
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: children and our sons and our daughters and our women

408
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: and take advantage of them, and then killing our population

409
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: with a drug overdose epidemic that is now the number

410
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: one Fentanyl is the number one killer of adults eighteen

411
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: to forty five years old now in the United States

412
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 3: of America, and someone dies every seven minutes, so we

413
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 3: will have almost nine or ten people in this country

414
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 3: will die while we just have this meeting here, while

415
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 3: we sit here today and talk about this election, and

416
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: that wasn't happening. It was just in twenty nineteen. It

417
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: was ninety three percent less, So it's almost doubled, gone

418
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: up ninety three percent in the last fourty five years

419
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: in the amount of desks that we're seeing from drug overdoses,

420
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: and where is fentanyl manufactured and made in China? Is

421
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 3: it on purpose? Absolutely? Absolutely, you want to take out

422
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: a whole generation Americans. You poison them, You poison them

423
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 3: so they will do anything to defeat us because of

424
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 3: the threat that we face. And that is the challenge

425
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: we have in front of us, and we need a

426
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 3: president that recognizes that border needs to be closed, that

427
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: we need to make sure that those dangerous individuals are

428
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 3: removed from our country, and that when you break the

429
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 3: law in the United States of America, there's just consequences.

430
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: There's just consequences when you break the law.

431
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

432
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. And let's remember this was something

433
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: that Bill Clinton said, this was something that Barack Obama said,

434
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: This was something that old Joe Biden said. Oh now

435
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: he's old, previous.

436
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 2: Joe Biden said. Not President Joe Biden. This is a

437
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 2: whole new situation that we're dealing with, and it's not

438
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 2: something that they feel in their hearts when they tell

439
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: you this, Oh gosh, this is just such a loving thing.

440
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: This is purely political. They have seized on an opportunity

441
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: to create a divide. But the reality is we are

442
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: now the second largest country in the world for human

443
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: trafficking and sex trafficking, and the majority of that is kids.

444
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 2: This administration lost three hundred thousand children. Three hundred thousand

445
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 2: children are either in slave labor. And I know you're

446
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: going to say not in America. Yes, yes, in this country,

447
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: they are either in slave labor, or they are being trafficked,

448
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 2: or they are dead. And the problem is that they

449
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: are all tracked by the cartel. So when people tell

450
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: you we have an open border, that border brings in

451
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars every year. For the cartel,

452
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 2: it's not open. It is fully and completely controlled by

453
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: a criminal element. So there is no beauty in people

454
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 2: coming across. There is no safety in people coming across.

455
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 2: There is no salvation for those people coming that way

456
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: across the border. They are never free. They do not

457
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: enjoy the freedoms that we enjoy because they are controlled

458
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 2: by a criminal element. They are marked for life. It

459
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 2: is a terrible, tragic situation, especially for the little girls

460
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: and boys that are used every single day, because our

461
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: president and our vice president decided politics was more important

462
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: than people.

463
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: We have a situation in South Dakota where we have

464
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: nine Native American tribes and most people don't realize that

465
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: a Native American tribe and their reservation boundaries are they

466
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 3: are a sovereign nation, So I, as governor have no

467
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 3: jurisdiction there. Who has jurisdiction there for law and order

468
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 3: is the tribal government and the federal government. They're the

469
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: ones who come in and make sure that tribal law

470
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 3: is upheld, that there isn't crimes being committed, and that

471
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: communities are safe.

472
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 4: Well.

473
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 3: Our federal government has dramatically failed our tribes in this country.

474
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: In fact, my tribes are suing the federal government right

475
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 3: now for lack of law enforcement in their areas and

476
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: in their communities. I have some of the poorest communities

477
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: in the country in South Dakota. In fact, that at

478
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: the top eleven poorest counties and the nation, I have

479
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 3: five of them in our state and they're all in

480
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: tribal areas. So these folks have eighty to ninety percent unemployment.

481
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 3: They struggle with addiction and challenges and alcoholism. And what

482
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: has happened since this border has been opened during this administration,

483
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 3: and it started a few years before that, but what

484
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 3: has happened recently is that we have seen cartel affiliates

485
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 3: in our tribal reservations operating unchecked. There is nobody there

486
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: making sure that those cartel aren't They're trafficking people right

487
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 3: through South Dakota. They're trafficking drugs through the Midwest protected there.

488
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 3: It isolated from me because I have no jurisdiction there.

489
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 3: I can't go there and arrest anybody for rape or murder,

490
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: or traffic or drugs or being dealers. The only people

491
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: who can do it is either the tribal law enforcement,

492
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: who's dramatically underfunded. They need ten times the amount of

493
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 3: dollars to have the law enforcement officers that they need,

494
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: and the federal government refuses to come in. So people

495
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 3: always think about the border being at the southern part

496
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 3: of the United States. We've got the border right in

497
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 3: South Dakota. The cartel have figured out where they're protected

498
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: in this country and where they can use as a

499
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 3: home base to distribute their drugs. And their trafficking, and

500
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: it's happening right in South Dakota. I was the first

501
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: governor in the country to send my National Guard down

502
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 3: to the border to help when Texas asked for it,

503
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 3: because I recognized it was a war zone back then.

504
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 3: Since then, we have deployed National Guards seven times to

505
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: assist down there. We have gone down there on a

506
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 3: security mission. We've gone down there and sent our helicopters

507
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: to help do surveillance. We've sent an engineering unit down

508
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: there that built fence and barrier. We built over five

509
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 3: miles a barrier cleared, forty six miles of barrier cleared,

510
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 3: and fixed patches that have been broken. But continuing to

511
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: do all we can to support what Texas is doing,

512
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: what Governor Abbott is doing, but also doing what we

513
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 3: can because of the failure of this administration just to

514
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: enforce our border and to make sure that we can

515
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 3: protect our kids as much as possible and protect their

516
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 3: future by not allowing that type of invasion to continue.

517
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 2: And it affects us too. I mean, obviously we are

518
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: a border state. We have a border with Canada. And

519
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: the scary thing is you may not realize the majority

520
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: of people who have come through on the terror watch list,

521
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: are coming from Canada. We have a very dangerous situation here.

522
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: So every state is a border state. I mean we

523
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: genuinely are, but every state is a border state. And

524
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: if you, I mean even if you just talk to

525
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: Sheriff Buchard, you would understand the drugs that are coming

526
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: into this country. And you know, it's crazy. When I

527
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: was campaigning, I went to their crime lab and they

528
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: pull out this just came today. And you know, I

529
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: think of Fenton is like these little pills and you're

530
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: gonna see it and you're gonna know, and it's this

531
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: giant brick and I was just flabbergasted. I'm like this,

532
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 2: you just find this in someone's house. Yeah, just we

533
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: did a raid today, found this in someone's house. The

534
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: tech has to be extraordinarily careful because even the tiniest

535
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: speck will kill you. This is just traveling around our

536
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: community in people's homes, going to our kids. They want

537
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: to get that to our kids. This is so dangerous now,

538
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: and we have people who are duping you when they

539
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: say they care about law and order, they don't care

540
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: about law and order. Look, we had three police officers

541
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: killed in one month's time in this state. I don't

542
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: think the governor went to a single funeral.

543
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.

544
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: Really, we had the largest mass shooting the state has

545
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: ever seen. What a month ago. The governor's never spoken

546
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: about it. You've never seen so much as a tweet.

547
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: But Rochester had a shooting. She tweeted about that. But

548
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: the people of Detroit she didn't tweet about. They don't

549
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: care about the areas that are hit hardest with crime.

550
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: My goodness, she's a wreck. Somebody should run against her.

551
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 3: I thought she was a mess last night too, or

552
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 3: was it two nights ago that she's spelled.

553
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: I will say I think she looked beautiful, though I

554
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: looked it for that she had the dress was stunning.

555
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 3: This is what I think. I think that this is

556
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: what I wish. We live in a country that's addicted

557
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 3: to being offended, right, don't we all just love to

558
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 3: be offended by each other? Like, oh my gosh, I

559
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: can't believe they said that. It's horrible. I'm so offended,

560
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: and they quit talking to each other. And she's really

561
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: good at offending people because I think she tries to

562
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 3: do it on purpose. Like some of the things is

563
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 3: that she says, and does some people do it without

564
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 3: really realizing it. But I had a pastor years ago

565
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: say something to me that Christy, people are going to

566
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 3: throw offenses out at you all the time, but you're

567
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: the one who decides if you want to pick it

568
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: up and carry it around with you, and then you're

569
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 3: the one who's carrying the burden. So you have the

570
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 3: opportunity every day to just make a decision that when

571
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 3: people offend you, and politics does it, it really does.

572
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 3: And some of the things she said offended me. So

573
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: I've got to take my own sermon here. But we

574
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 3: have the chance to when people offend us and we're

575
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 3: talking to them about this election and when they're talking

576
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: about President Trump versus Vice President Harris, that they're going

577
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: to say things to us, and we're going to have

578
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 3: to decide not to be offended and to keep the relationship,

579
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 3: to keep the relationship, because I truly believe we tell

580
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: our kids and our high schoolers and our college students

581
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: that your education is the most important thing for your life.

582
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 3: Your education is or where you grew up is the

583
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: most important thing, and I just disagree. I think the

584
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: most important thing in your life is relationships. The relationships

585
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: that you have in your life will determine the opportunities

586
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: that you get what you learn from each other. Maybe

587
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,239
Speaker 3: the person that you meet at that meeting or you

588
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 3: have a conversation with at that gas station is somebody

589
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: that will change your life forever. Words have consequences. Words

590
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 3: have power. How many of you have somebody that said

591
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: something to you at some point in life that you

592
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: still remember today, an offhanded comment, something they said, but

593
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: it changed the way you thought about yourself, or it

594
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 3: changed your perspective. So remember that your words have power.

595
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: And when you leave here and you speak, choose not

596
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: to be offended by political conversations you're having with people.

597
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: Choose instead to recognize that the words that you speak

598
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 3: will impact somebody, and try to speak different words that

599
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: change their perspective. Help them think about this election different

600
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 3: than they have before. Help have them at a grocery store,

601
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: start talking about the price of pickles, do something like that.

602
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 3: That's what I go a couple times a month and

603
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 3: just run check out line at a grocery store. I had.

604
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: I did that when I was in college. But it

605
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 3: is the most eye opening experience anybody could have. It.

606
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 3: I would say every elected official should just go do it.

607
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: They will let you do it because they can't hire

608
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: enough people who want to run checkout lines at grocery

609
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 3: store and now nobody can count money anymore. But anyways,

610
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: but you will be shocked. I bet two out of

611
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: five people that come through the checkout line, they get

612
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 3: to where the total comes and they don't have enough

613
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 3: money and they have to sit there and decide what

614
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 3: they're going to put back. And it's amazing to me

615
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: the amount of people that don't have enough money to

616
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: get their groceries anymore. Or they come through with ten

617
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: or fifteen items and they're like, but I got this

618
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 3: last month, and I had enough money this month, I don't.

619
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 3: And they're trying to decide should they put back the

620
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: mustard or the olives, and they wrestle with it and

621
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: then they decide they're going to go put it back.

622
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 3: I had a mom the other day tell me I

623
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 3: saw her in a Walmart and she told me she's

624
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: trying to decide if she could buy her ten year

625
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 3: old son the backpack or the new shoes he wanted

626
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 3: for school this year. She could and get both of them.

627
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 3: And that's the discussion families are having, so we need

628
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 3: to let them know that it's the policies of the

629
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 3: leaders that are deciding what those costs are. The reason

630
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 3: that families can't buy a home anymore is because somebody

631
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 3: in power made a decision that drove up interest rates,

632
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 3: put more debt on this country, crippled our economy. Your

633
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 3: gas costs more because somebody in Washington, DC decided there

634
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 3: was more important to outsource our energy rather than to

635
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 3: reply or rely on ourselves. Those are all conversations you

636
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: can have in your day to day life with people

637
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 3: who aren't used to talking about that with somebody. So

638
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 3: I think we probably should go to questions. It looks

639
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 3: like there's quite a few people back there standing, did

640
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 3: you want.

641
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 2: To I just want to add really quickly to your

642
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: point of finding joy and the trials. If you've been

643
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: listening to this past week, which I'm sure none of

644
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: you were, but on the off chance, in case you

645
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: didn't hear it, there was a kind of common theme

646
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: of I've been held back by gender and race and

647
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: discriminated against. And so we that from Michelle Obama, and

648
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 2: she was first Lady in case you didn't know, and

649
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: we heard that from Oprah and she's just like, you know,

650
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 2: everybody wants.

651
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 3: To be Oprah, you know.

652
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 2: And we heard that from Kamala Harris, and I think

653
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: that the overwhelming message from that is Wow, and look

654
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: what they were able to do in America. Look what

655
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: they were able to become in this country despite that.

656
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 2: Because God doesn't tell you it's going to be easy,

657
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: doesn't call you to the easy things, and he doesn't

658
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 2: tell you you're not going to be discriminated against. So

659
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 2: you're not going to be offended because every day I

660
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: can tell you you will be. And people will tell

661
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 2: you there's a reason. No matter what color you are,

662
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 2: no matter what gender you are, no matter what your

663
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 2: preferences are, people will tell you there is a reason

664
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 2: you can't do what you're going out to do. And

665
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: yet in this country you can. So don't listen to

666
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 2: the people who say oppression is real. You can break

667
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: through every day because you live here and this is

668
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 2: a special place.

669
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: Okayeh, should we go to questions?

670
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 5: Yes, Miss Catherine, Hi, everyone, thank you.

671
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,479
Speaker 6: Right now we have a question from Joe and he'd

672
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 6: like to ask it specifically.

673
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 7: Joe, I just real quick, obviously we've lost our moral

674
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 7: compass in this nation of scenes. My question, I am

675
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 7: a huge Republican and I'm disappointed in the Republican partly

676
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:31,959
Speaker 7: deeply because the squeaky wheel gets the most grease. Why

677
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 7: isn't any Republican truly going out there screaming every day

678
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 7: if it takes every week to stop or say something

679
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 7: about what's happening, that goes for both the state and

680
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 7: the national the statewide. That's the only question I have

681
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 7: that's got to start making fuss on a daily basis.

682
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 7: I've seen you done some of it. God bless you

683
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 7: help this country before we lose it.

684
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 3: So are you talking about standing for what's right and wrong,

685
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 3: standing for faith, or are you talking about all of it?

686
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 7: It all encompasses everything. There's a right and a wrong.

687
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 7: Child this deal, that's this thing going on with children.

688
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 7: We have schools that the teachers are not telling they're

689
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 7: telling kids, and they can tell the kids that they

690
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 7: can get gender trans all this stuff. Why isn't the

691
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 7: Republican Party in Michigan, because that's or nationally stand up

692
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 7: every day and say, what are you doing to my children?

693
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 7: What do you every day? They should be up there

694
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 7: the squeaky wheel, I'm done.

695
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 3: Sorry, Well, I'll tell you what I think. No, the

696
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 3: media doesn't cover it. And it's not just the people

697
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 3: in elected office. Is responsibility. I feel like it's all

698
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 3: of our responsibility. We will never change this if you

699
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 3: just point at somebody else and tell them to go

700
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: do their job. And I get your heart because you're

701
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 3: not saying that. You just want us to be bold.

702
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 3: You want us to be bold and stand for truth,

703
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 3: and that doesn't mean we have to be ugly. And

704
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 3: that's why we see too many people that get elected

705
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: to office and then they forget their moral compass. They

706
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 3: want to be popular and they want to make sure

707
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: they can get reelected the next time, so they forget

708
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 3: to stand. Listen, when I was the only state in

709
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 3: the country that never shut down a single business and

710
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: never shut down a single event. Do you remember when

711
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 3: we held the Sturgis Motorcycle bike Rally, I mean when

712
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: we held the July third event at Mount Rushmore. I

713
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: mean I was getting killed every night on the night

714
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 3: on the national news, like Rachel Maddow and Elizabeth Warren,

715
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 3: they called me dangerous and reckless. I mean I literally

716
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 3: just didn't even I still don't really watch the news

717
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 3: because it's just too hard on me. You guys don't

718
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: know this about my personality, but I tend to be

719
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 3: an introvert. I mean, I love people. I love people,

720
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 3: and I like to be around them, but walking into

721
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 3: a room full of strangers is still something I have

722
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 3: to go. All right, Christy, you can do this. You

723
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 3: know this is not my nature. I still get nervous

724
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 3: for every interview, every speech. But I'll tell you what.

725
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 3: I had a dad every day when I was growing

726
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: up that said, we don't complain about things, we fix them.

727
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 3: And so there's something he built into us kids that

728
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 3: we don't ever get to sit home and just complain.

729
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 3: You have to go do something, Go fix it, Go

730
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 3: be somebody who's a part of the solution. I told

731
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 3: one of my staffers one day, he was exhausted. I

732
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 3: was just getting killed over something. And especially when more

733
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: people in the country started to know who I was,

734
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 3: I got more and more attacks from everybody. It was

735
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 3: liberals who didn't like what I was standing for. It

736
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: was Republicans who thought I was competition. I mean, you'd

737
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 3: be surprised how much you get attacked by your own

738
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: party half the time, just because they think that maybe

739
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 3: you're going to get to be a big deal, and

740
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 3: they want to be the big deal. But anyways, I

741
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 3: just remember I was looking at one of the people

742
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 3: that worked in my press shop and he just was

743
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: like exhaust And I said, Ian, when you die, you

744
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 3: will be able to say you lived a life of significance.

745
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 3: And he went, okay. But that's the only way we

746
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: change this country is we have to decide it's not

747
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,479
Speaker 3: about us. I've got three kids, and my two girls

748
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 3: are married. I've got three grand babies and one on

749
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 3: the way. I look at little miss Addie, who's three.

750
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 3: She's the oldest, so they're all three under three. But

751
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 3: I just think, what kind of a country am I

752
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 3: giving her? I mean, I can't even look at how

753
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 3: this world has changed in the last five to six years.

754
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 3: Can you imagine what it's going to look like in

755
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 3: the next fifteen to twenty. I can't so that I

756
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 3: don't sleep at night because I think about that and

757
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 3: had I got to grow up in the most amazing

758
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 3: country in the world. And if we lose the United

759
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 3: States of America, where will we go? Where will we go?

760
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 3: That's better than what we have right now? So My

761
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 3: hope is that you encourage every person that's elected to office,

762
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 3: walk alongside them and hold them accountable, to stand for truth,

763
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: and tell them when they get attacked for it, you're

764
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 3: gonna hug them, and you're gonna write them a note,

765
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 3: and you're gonna write something nice on their Facebook page.

766
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 3: So they read ten ugly things, they see one nice

767
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 3: thing and they get encouraged by it. But every elected

768
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 3: official needs to stand for truth. But we change people's

769
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 3: hearts by you building relationships with them too, and being

770
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 3: bold enough to speak to them and to speak the

771
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 3: truth to them. Listen, I'm married into my husband's family.

772
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 3: They were all Democrats, and then I take their name

773
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 3: and I run for Congress as a Republican. Can you imagine?

774
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 3: I mean it, really, what a horrible thing to do

775
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 3: to them, And then it was one of the top

776
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 3: five races in the nation. But you know what, I'd say,

777
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 3: eighty percent of them are Republicans now. And we loved

778
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 3: each other then. We still love each other now. But

779
00:41:55,480 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 3: they just figured out that I was right. But we

780
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 3: didn't do it by screaming at each other. We did

781
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 3: it by loving each other and talking and having conversations

782
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 3: and that's really it's it's harder, and it takes more discipline,

783
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 3: and and but I think that that is what is

784
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 3: going to be powerful.

785
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 4: We have.

786
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 3: We had a moment after this assassination assassination attempt on

787
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 3: President Trump. Didn't you feel it where you're like, we

788
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 3: have a moment here, like we could have a revival.

789
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 3: That's what I felt like. I felt like for five

790
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 3: or six days there, we were like, oh my goodness,

791
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 3: And I don't want to I don't want to wake

792
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 3: up anymore and feel like we might have missed it.

793
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 3: I don't. I'm going to choose to believe we didn't

794
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: miss a chance for us to remember what's special about

795
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 3: this country. It was a country founded on right and wrong,

796
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 3: on faith and people who relied on themselves and their

797
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 3: freedoms to make sure that they were a country that

798
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 3: was had rights given to us by our creator, that

799
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 3: we can go out and live a life of freedom

800
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 3: of religion, freedom of speech, and live and operate under

801
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 3: a constitution that gave us everything every other country didn't give. Okay,

802
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, go ahead.

803
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

804
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast.

805
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 6: A question from Judy regarding education.

806
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 3: Judy, Well, mine was actually on the border.

807
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 5: What can we do to strengthen our borders.

808
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's fairly obvious that we can actually

809
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: enforce stopping people at the border, and I think that's

810
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: very important, and I think technology plays a key role

811
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: in that. And just as she was talking about the

812
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 2: Keystone pipeline, all of the equipment being left there and

813
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 2: just abandoned, Let's remember that that same thing happened at

814
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 2: the border when Joe Biden took over and said we're

815
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: not going to continue building the wall. And when you

816
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 2: have just people down there fighting against people, you have

817
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: a war, you don't have security. This is not fair

818
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 2: to put our border patrol in this position. We have

819
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 2: a gentleman here in the state of Michigan who just

820
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: found out that his brother's killer conviction was overturned on

821
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 2: a technicality. His brother was a border patrol agent down south,

822
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 2: and now they have to go through this all over

823
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: again after this happened in what ten years ago. To

824
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 2: this family, this is outrageous that we continually allow this

825
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 2: to just be like, oh, how could we possibly do it?

826
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 2: It's really not that hard. And Kamala Harris saying she's

827
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: going to hide her all these new border patrol agents.

828
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 2: It goes beyond that, It goes beyond that. There is

829
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 2: so much more involved. And that's why I encourage all

830
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 2: of you to force the Democrats on your local level

831
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 2: to tell you how. How are you going to do that?

832
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 2: Don't just accept that all the other side is bad.

833
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: Don't accept if you don't vote for me, you're under threat.

834
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 2: Ask him how. Because it has to be a strategic plan,

835
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: and it has to go beyond an executive order. It

836
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: would be lovely if we could get Congress together to

837
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 2: pass a bill. But do not be deceived by this.

838
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 2: O'donald Trump is better at whipping votes than we are,

839
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 2: and he was able to get people to vote against

840
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 2: the bill. I mean, how pathetic. First of all, why

841
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 2: would you admit that. Secondly, this was there was bipartisan

842
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 2: disapproval of this bill. There was there were people on

843
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 2: both sides who said, you are going to make it

844
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,959
Speaker 2: legal to have thousands of people come across this border

845
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 2: every day and put children in danger. Continued to do this,

846
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: You are going to enshrine this in law. No, that

847
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 2: is not the answer. The answer is to make sure

848
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 2: you have a strong border and a strong immigration plan.

849
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: And that's not coming from the Harris administration.

850
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that bill codified illegal immigration. If that illegal immigration

851
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 3: was now going to be law, it would be allowed

852
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: going forward. All we have to do right now is

853
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 3: to enforce our federal law. We just have to follow

854
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 3: the law. If we had a president that followed the law,

855
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 3: we'd have a secure border now. Obviously President Trump has

856
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 3: said build a wall. In favor of building a wall,

857
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 3: I have seen walls work. They work, and we need

858
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 3: to continue to do that. They worked last week in Chicago.

859
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 2: I heard they got a wall.

860
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right, but it's it's not rocket science.

861
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 3: I mean, you follow the law. You build a barrier

862
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 3: where you need it, where you know where the vulnerable

863
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 3: places on our border are, and you make sure that

864
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 3: people have the opportunity to come to the United States

865
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 3: of America. They just have to follow the law when

866
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 3: they come. Good. Thank you, thank you.

867
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 2: Fight for kids? How can you how can you even

868
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 2: look away from that fight for kids?

869
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 5: Great? Thank you, thank you. We have a question now

870
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 5: from Joe.

871
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 6: And he'd like to talk about voter fraud and election integrity.

872
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 8: That's one of the things I like to address you.

873
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 8: I guess, Christy, you've been in a Republican I want

874
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 8: to thank Tutor for for bringing all these great Republican

875
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 8: women to Detroit.

876
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 4: Because you had Tulsa Gabbard here last year.

877
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 8: How then you get to eat I'm mail until the

878
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 8: next day and I missed it, but I'm glad you

879
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 8: brought her here. But now you've brought Christy and that's great,

880
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 8: and I'm really one of my biggest concerns this year

881
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 8: is not they get everybody to run out and vote

882
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 8: for Trump, because we're all voted for Trump last time.

883
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 8: The problem is what's going to be done to prevent

884
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 8: them from stealing election. I went to bed at midnight

885
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 8: or a little after I think it was like one

886
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 8: o'clock in the morning, and Google said Trump was leading

887
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 8: by well over forty percent and only zero point one

888
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 8: percent of the precincts had not reported in. I'm thinking, well,

889
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 8: that's overwhelming. You can't overcome that. And when I woke

890
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 8: up the next day and I found out they had

891
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 8: literally flipped the numbers. Now Joe Biden had beat Trump

892
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 8: by the exact same margin. It's like they just moved

893
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 8: his name from one thing. Come on, now nothing not

894
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 8: only has nothing, I haven't they kept us so busy

895
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 8: worrying about Trump and court for three years that we

896
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 8: haven't been focusing on protecting your election, doing anything to

897
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 8: the machines that are able to have internet access the

898
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 8: process itself.

899
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 4: In Michigan.

900
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 8: And I don't want to blame you, Tutor's not your fault,

901
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 8: but they changed our constitution. We're not allowed to have

902
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 8: voter ID and we must have stuffable mailboxes.

903
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 4: You can go up with this stuff balance in.

904
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 8: There, no monitoring, nothing, just go ahead and it's required

905
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 8: in our constitution.

906
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 3: Now what is required?

907
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 8: What are they doing to fix that?

908
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 2: Well, you have to under I know this question is

909
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: for you. I'll just say really.

910
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 8: Directly's rancher, and so I know you know about the farm.

911
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 8: You brought up the farm situation. China's in here buying

912
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 8: up o our farms and ranchers, and your email tutor

913
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 8: alerted me to the fact that they actually built a

914
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 8: battery factory in Michigan. That you have to declare your

915
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 8: loyalty to the CCP to do any business with them.

916
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 8: And these are huge issues that people are not been

917
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 8: mentioned anywhere, not even in Republicans absolutely.

918
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 2: I mean, the elections issues are very strong here in

919
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 2: the state of Michigan. That's why you've seen the RNC

920
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 2: sue Jocelyn Benson, and there's been five lawsuits that she's lost.

921
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 2: I think the most significant is on absentee ballots when

922
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 2: she removed the signature requirement, which makes absolutely no sense.

923
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 2: Why would you do that? And so the signature requirement

924
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 2: was removed in twenty twenty and twenty twenty two, and

925
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 2: that lawsuit was just recently won by the RNC. But

926
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 2: you have to remember that the RNC couldn't get involved

927
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 2: in elections before twenty twenty and that was that lawsuit,

928
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: and that ruling was recently changed. And so the RNC

929
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 2: is heavily involved now. And I know that you probably

930
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: aren't seeing things every day, but they are fighting it

931
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 2: and we do have to continue to be vigilant because

932
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 2: I've just hearing this story in the last couple of

933
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 2: days that in the primary, Detroit had two thousand more

934
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 2: than two thousand additional poll watchers for Democrats than Republicans.

935
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 2: Not legal, not how it's supposed to be run, and

936
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 2: why is this happening? We have to go back consistently

937
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 2: to this secretary of state. And we have secretaries of

938
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 2: state across this country that are very radical. Remember when

939
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 2: a Democrat says something, they're actually doing it. So when

940
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 2: she says she's fighting for democracy, she's actually breaking the rules.

941
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 2: And you have to be very careful of what she says.

942
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 2: And remember she's saying clearly she's running for governor. She's

943
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 2: been traveling this country with Hillary Clinton. They've been lifting

944
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 2: her up. She's the Katie Hobbes of Michigan secretary of

945
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 2: state running her own election becoming governor. Be careful because

946
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 2: these people change the rules so they can win, and

947
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 2: you shouldn't be allowed. That's why we have to constantly

948
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: be vigilant and make sure the RNC is on top

949
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 2: of it, because somebody has to be watching. It's a

950
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: shit that you have partisan secretaries of state. It's a shame.

951
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be.

952
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're the top election official in every state. So

953
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 3: the secretary of state position is extremely powerful. And if

954
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 3: we don't trust our election system, I'm not certain if

955
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: we trust anything in this country anymore. My concern has

956
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 3: always been that we can't just make sure that President

957
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 3: Trump wins. He has to win big. He has to

958
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 3: win big so that there is no question on election results.

959
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 3: The other thing is in South Dakota, you have to

960
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 3: vote on election day with an ID. You have to

961
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 3: identify yourself. We only vote on paper ballots. Where we

962
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 3: do vote on machines in a couple of counties. Our

963
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 3: machines are not attached to the Internet at all, and

964
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 3: so we trust our elections in South Dakota. But we

965
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 3: also hold our Secretary of State very accountable. And we

966
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 3: have a problem across the country where we don't have

967
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 3: enough people that are volunteering to be pole watchers. We

968
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 3: don't have enough people who are there willing to make

969
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 3: sure that their elections are written correctly. What I've been

970
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 3: concerned about all year is that they would do what

971
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 3: they did in twenty twenty. Remember when we had that

972
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 3: emergency declaration that happened in the country. It allowed every

973
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 3: governor to decide how to run their elections however they

974
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 3: wanted to. So I was in twenty seven states that

975
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 3: year campaigning for President Trump, and I saw from state

976
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 3: to state how governors decided to run their elections, how

977
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 3: they collected ballots. They maybe were collecting it in drop

978
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 3: boxes they met. Some states in Minnesota was one of them.

979
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 3: They had the unions collecting ballots in parking lots, and

980
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 3: then they didn't have any supervision. Sometimes they would keep

981
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 3: a box full of ballots in the trunk of their

982
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 3: car and not deliver it back to the secretary of

983
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 3: State's office or the auditor's office until the next day,

984
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 3: or they would hold the ballots for two or three days.

985
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 3: There was no accountability, no supervision, no integrity whatsoever. I

986
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 3: had one lady in one state walk up to me

987
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 3: with four different ballots in her hand. She said, listen,

988
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 3: one of them is made out. They mailed them all

989
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 3: to me. One of them is in my maiden name,

990
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 3: one of them is my first married name when I

991
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 3: was married to my first husband, but I got divorced,

992
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 3: one has a middle initial on it has my middle

993
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 3: initial on it, so that one is different as well,

994
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 3: and then the other one's in my new married name.

995
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 3: So she had four ballots that she could vote on

996
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 3: and just mail them back in and all four would

997
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 3: have been counted because the secretary of State had never

998
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 3: cleaned up the voter rules, had never once when she

999
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 3: changed her name, gone back and deleted her other name too,

1000
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 3: So that happened in some of the states. So I

1001
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 3: always tell people. They always ask me about that election,

1002
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 3: and I say, it's not that they cheated, it's that

1003
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 3: they didn't do one thing. They did. Everything they did.

1004
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 3: Every state was different what they did and how they

1005
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 3: did it. And that's what I've been concerned about, is

1006
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 3: there'd be another event, another reason for the Democrats, the

1007
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 3: White House, this administration, Harris to say, listen, we need

1008
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 3: to do an emergency order for something. It could be

1009
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 3: a national security reason, it could be another pandemic, it

1010
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 3: could be a financial reason. I don't we have learned.

1011
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 3: We always say, oh, they'll do anything, and then we're

1012
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 3: shocked when they do it, right, don't we We need

1013
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 3: to really realize they literally will do anything. Replaced their candidate,

1014
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 3: a sitting president, right, didn't they Then they picked the craziest,

1015
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 3: most socialist governor in the country, the most radical, extreme

1016
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 3: governor who destroyed his state and made him the vice

1017
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 3: presidential nomini. So the Democrat Party that used to be

1018
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 3: here is now so far left. They've fallen off the page,

1019
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 3: they're off the stage. They're clear over living in China.

1020
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 3: That's who they've put up and shame on us if

1021
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 3: we don't tell the world that they will do anything.

1022
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 3: And we have to help open America's eyes so that

1023
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 3: they don't do everything to take this election.

1024
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 2: But if you call one coach and you call the

1025
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 2: other Mamola, then you're in good shape. I mean, that's

1026
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 2: what they think. It's scary.

1027
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 6: Next question, Okay, have a question from Jason. He's looking

1028
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 6: for some advice.

1029
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 4: First, I'm a Marine Corps veteran.

1030
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 9: My wife's im ring and my daughters serving in the

1031
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 9: Marine Corps right now.

1032
00:54:59,360 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 8: Eric.

1033
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 9: I say that to say, you're both incredible, awesome women

1034
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 9: and we're so proud of you as a family. But

1035
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 9: my question is I just won a heavily contested race

1036
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 9: for the Michigan State House of Representatives for the fiftieth

1037
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 9: district and I want it and it's the seventy thirty district,

1038
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 9: so I'm going to be the next Michigan State House

1039
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 9: of Representatives for that area. But yeah, So my question

1040
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,240
Speaker 9: is what advice would you give to get more people

1041
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 9: engaged for those that may have a more difficult race,

1042
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 9: but getting our voters out, we saw that with this

1043
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 9: early voting it hasn't been a success.

1044
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 4: In the state of Michigan.

1045
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 9: As a matter of fact, less people voted in this

1046
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 9: primary than the one before.

1047
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:49,479
Speaker 4: So that's my one question.

1048
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 9: Then the other is, outside of obviously the obvious reason

1049
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 9: why you're having baby booms in your state, what do

1050
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 9: you attribute that to when other states are not having that?

1051
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 4: And thank you and God bless you both.

1052
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 3: Do you want to talk to the advice for him

1053
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,720
Speaker 3: running his race and helping other shit that it's win.

1054
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 2: First and foremost. Don't read the comments on social media. Yes,

1055
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 2: but seriously, I think, I mean to her point earlier,

1056
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: don't be offended, keep going through. I mean, it's going

1057
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 2: to be tough, but you the difference I think between

1058
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 2: what I see when we have the RNC Convention as

1059
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 2: compared to the DNC Convention is that this is a

1060
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 2: heart and soul mission, and sometimes I think it's harder

1061
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 2: when it's deep in your soul that you want to

1062
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 2: be serving people, and that can make it that can

1063
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 2: discourage a lot of people, and I think it's hard

1064
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 2: to get people involved from that standpoint. Right now, we

1065
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 2: are so viciously attacked. I mean, you've seen for months

1066
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,959
Speaker 2: they've called Donald Trump a threat, and then of course

1067
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 2: when people are called a threat, someone wants to eliminate

1068
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: the threat, so you end up with a really bad guy.

1069
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 2: And boy does that discourage people from running as Republicans

1070
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 2: right now? And so I would say, there are so

1071
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 2: many people out there that love you, that respect you.

1072
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 2: There are people who are afraid to run. And you

1073
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 2: have to pray about it, and you have to ask

1074
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 2: God if this is what God is calling you to do.

1075
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 2: And sometimes it is really easy when God says no,

1076
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 2: you're doing this, to be like, nah, I'm good. Trust me,

1077
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 2: I've been there. Listen to God, pray, sit with your family.

1078
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 2: If so, I will say, when I started running, someone

1079
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 2: said pick the ten people you trust the most and

1080
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 2: have them on your campaign, and by the end you'll

1081
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: have five and go into it knowing.

1082
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 4: That, yeah, thank you, I appreciate it.

1083
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 3: That's fantastic. I would just say, continue to be genuine

1084
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 3: and normal. And that's why Donald Trump resonates with people

1085
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 3: is because he's just normal. He doesn't give a debate

1086
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 3: perfect speech or you know, he's himself. I tell people

1087
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 3: all the time that that he doesn't think he's better

1088
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 3: than anybody else. He really truly doesn't You talk to

1089
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 3: anybody who's worked for that man, anybody who's been close

1090
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 3: to him. He treats them like gold. He asks about

1091
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 3: their families, he asks about how they're doing, how their

1092
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 3: business is. He asks them, you know, what he can

1093
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 3: do to make their job better if they work for

1094
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 3: him anywhere. They love him because he cares about people truly,

1095
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 3: and he's normal and he's genuine, and he has his

1096
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 3: flaws and that's fine. And when people attack him, he

1097
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 3: punches back. So I'd say there might be a time

1098
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 3: where you got to punch back and you got to

1099
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 3: stand up and show that you're strong. Yep, Yeah, we

1100
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 3: have time for two more quest Don't be afraid to

1101
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 3: do that, because people do respect strength. They want you

1102
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 3: to know that you love people, but they also know

1103
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 3: that you're going to be strong enough to withstand the

1104
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 3: headwinds that we've got from the media, from the left,

1105
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 3: from all this woke that's going on around the country.

1106
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 3: You can be strong enough to do that and still

1107
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 3: care about people.

1108
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 5: All right, we have time for two more questions, gentlemen here.

1109
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 3: Well, we'll go fast. If you want to ask them fast,

1110
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 3: we can do three or four, and I can quit

1111
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:06,479
Speaker 3: talking so much.

1112
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 4: I'll be brief.

1113
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 10: Thank you. My name is Tommy. I'm from Acomb County here.

1114
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 10: My question is for Governor Christinoum. Governor, what kinds of

1115
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 10: things have you seen worked in your state to combat

1116
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 10: human trafficking? And keep in mind, obviously in the room here,

1117
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 10: everyone here knows that we're a border state, but in

1118
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 10: the state of Michigan, we cannot depend on our governor.

1119
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 10: So what kinds of things can the populace do to

1120
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,479
Speaker 10: help combat human trafficking that you have seen work?

1121
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 3: Thank you well, First of all, you have to you

1122
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 3: have to call it out where it's happening. It was

1123
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 3: very controversial when I pointed out that the cartels and

1124
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 3: their affiliates were operating in our tribal lands, because the

1125
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 3: only way they can operate there is if somebody in

1126
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 3: tribal government gives them protection, right, if somebody on that

1127
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 3: tribal council or somebody lets them be there without making

1128
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 3: sure that the tribal police are there stopping them. So

1129
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 3: it was very controversial in South Dakota when I boldly said, listen,

1130
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 3: they are operating trafficking out of our reservations, so be

1131
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 3: bold enough to call it out when you see it,

1132
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 3: and then educate people what it looks like. A lot

1133
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 3: of people don't know what trafficking looks like. It can

1134
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 3: be sexual trafficking. It also can be labor. It can

1135
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 3: look so many different ways. Whether it's children, whether it's adults.

1136
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 3: There are so many adult even males that I know,

1137
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 3: that have been come out of situations where they were

1138
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 3: being trafficked and used, whether it was for labor or

1139
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 3: for other purposes in this country. And it's a slavery,

1140
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 3: a modern day slavery that happens. And then spend your

1141
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 3: time making sure that you're aware and observing every situation

1142
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 3: that you're in, and that when you see it, that

1143
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 3: you take action. We are people who do a lot

1144
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 3: of talking. We do a lot of talk, and then

1145
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 3: we walk out of this door and we put our

1146
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 3: head down and we only worry about our own lives.

1147
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 3: I would ask you be people who lift up your chins,

1148
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 3: look ahead and look around and see the people around you,

1149
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 3: see what's really happening around you, and teach your kids

1150
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 3: that too. Teach your kids to be people who I

1151
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 3: have two girls and a boy. But when Booker was

1152
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 3: a little boy, he was four or five years old,

1153
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 3: and I could tell from the time he was at

1154
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 3: age he was probably going to be a pastor or

1155
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 3: a teacher or something because I could. We could walk

1156
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 3: into a restaurant when he was four or five years old,

1157
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 3: and we would lose him because he was always chatting

1158
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 3: with somebody. But he'd be sitting at a table in

1159
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 3: the corner with one little old man who was sitting

1160
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 3: by himself, or he would always be with somebody who

1161
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 3: was all by themselves. Knew the kid in class that

1162
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 3: didn't have any friends or somebody. But empathy and compassion

1163
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 3: is the best thing that you can instill in your children.

1164
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 3: I always tell people that if they haven't gone through

1165
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 3: anything hard, then that's too bad. That's hard because the

1166
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 3: things that my parents gave me by giving us hard

1167
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 3: things to do, created us to be problem solvers. But

1168
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 3: they also when you go through something hard, you have

1169
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 3: more compassion for people around you that are going through

1170
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 3: challenging things. So stop doing everything for your kids, all right.

1171
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 3: You are crippling our children when you do everything for them.

1172
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 3: Let them figure it out, let them face some challenges

1173
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 3: and do that, because you will give them confidence to

1174
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 3: take on the next bigger challenge. That they have, and

1175
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 3: you'll create them to be problem solvers. They'll figure stuff

1176
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 3: out and they'll get more confidence and recognize I guess

1177
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 3: I can handle tough stuff.

1178
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

1179
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast.

1180
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 6: All right, one question from Matthew. He has a question

1181
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 6: on mental health.

1182
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are we going to do to improve mental

1183
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 2: health and housing services for people?

1184
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 3: And will income inisbuilding because right now it's just horrible.

1185
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think in the state of Michigan, we definitely

1186
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,919
Speaker 2: don't have enough services. We don't have them across the state.

1187
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 2: We have a significant issue. Even I mean, as I

1188
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 2: traveled across the state, I had so many corrections officers

1189
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 2: say to us, we have people that shouldn't be in

1190
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 2: the jails. We have people that need mental health help

1191
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 2: and we don't have it. And that was there was

1192
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 2: an opportunity for the governor to increase one of our

1193
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 2: facilities and that didn't get increased to the extent that

1194
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 2: it should have. So we definitely need to look at

1195
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 2: how we can improve that across the state. And also

1196
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,439
Speaker 2: really there's so many things that need to be done

1197
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 2: in Michigan. Even in the jails, we don't have enough

1198
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 2: corrections officers. They even asked the governor she could send

1199
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 2: in the National Guard and they were declined. So we

1200
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 2: have a significant problem here in the state of Michigan.

1201
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 2: And this is where I think that the collaboration between

1202
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 2: Republican governors is so great because I know that as

1203
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 2: Republican governors and other states have come across issues, they've

1204
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 2: gotten together on calls and even during COVID got together

1205
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 2: in calls and said, how do we come around the

1206
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 2: people in our states and make it better? So I'll

1207
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:46,439
Speaker 2: defer to you on what you've done.

1208
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,479
Speaker 3: No, that's what happens. So people have a mental health

1209
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 3: challenge in their lives. A lot of times right now

1210
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 3: today they're ending up an emergency room or in jail

1211
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 3: right because something has happened in their life and they've

1212
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 3: hit a crisis, and they may end up with an

1213
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 3: addiction issue or something that puts them in one of

1214
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 3: those twesday and neither one of them is appropriate for

1215
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 3: that situation. So we in our state in the last

1216
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 3: couple of years, have built and funded five crisis care

1217
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 3: centers regionally across our state. That's a short term when

1218
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 3: somebody's in a crisis situation. They come into that crisis

1219
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 3: care center and we detox them, we start the counseling process,

1220
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 3: and we start the referrals to getting them a support

1221
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 3: system and counseling services that they need. It's made all

1222
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 3: the difference in the world. And we've engaged our churches

1223
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 3: because so many times people ask the government to do

1224
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 3: things that churches and people should be doing. They ask

1225
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 3: people to walk alongside people, and they ask the government

1226
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 3: to raise our children. They ask the government to educate

1227
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 3: our children. They ask the government to feed people, and

1228
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 3: so much of that. And the responsibility for being a

1229
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 3: community is the community, the churches, the faith organizations that

1230
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 3: we were created to serve each other. And that's a

1231
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:57,479
Speaker 3: point of it. The one thing that I would say

1232
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 3: about the situation that we have going on is that

1233
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 3: in South Dakota, we have just developed and it'll be

1234
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 3: coming out the next couple of weeks in our elementary

1235
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 3: schools a resiliency program. We're going to teach our kids

1236
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 3: how to have resiliency from the time that they're elementary

1237
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 3: students and is it's an amazing curriculum that we will

1238
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 3: give free of charge to all of our school districts

1239
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 3: if the counselors and the elementary teachers want to use it.

1240
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 3: But it's called South Dakota's Sturdy and it's using our

1241
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 3: historical figures to teach them about how they took hard

1242
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 3: things in their life challenges and use them to be

1243
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 3: stronger and to have the resiliency and to make decisions

1244
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 3: better and to do it because a lot of times

1245
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 3: we're asking parents right now to be parents that never

1246
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 3: had good parents. They don't know what it's like to

1247
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 3: be a good parent because they never had one, and

1248
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 3: somebody's got to give them an example. And that's what

1249
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 3: this curriculum will do. We start with We start with

1250
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 3: Teddy Roosevelt, who you all know the challenges Teddy Roosevelt

1251
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 3: went through goodness sakes, the man was sick and then

1252
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 3: lost his wife and his mother on the same day

1253
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 3: and decided he was going to change his life. But

1254
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 3: some of those skill sets we can build into our

1255
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:11,919
Speaker 3: children too. How about one more? Okay, grand fine, oh,

1256
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 3: no pressure, that looks fantastic.

1257
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 11: Thank you ladies for coming to Detroit, to the area,

1258
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 11: because this doesn't count as Detroit, whether you know it

1259
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 11: or not. A'm Minister Burial Aupman. I am a candidate

1260
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 11: for House District seven here in Michigan, that is Detroit,

1261
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 11: Highland Park and ham Trammick. And one of the things

1262
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 11: I think about, because the governor just said it, was

1263
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 11: that President Trump was able to connect with a lot

1264
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:45,439
Speaker 11: of people by his authenticity. And in Detroit right now,

1265
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 11: it's just it's hard to get help with the election.

1266
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 11: It's hard to get help with money, resources, anything. Most

1267
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 11: people consider Detroit an unwinnable district for a conservative. So

1268
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 11: that's the mentality of most of our leadership now. Before

1269
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 11: Pete Holkster came and was voted in as Charita Party,

1270
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 11: Detroit absolutely got no focus, absolutely nothing. But to Ambassador

1271
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 11: Holster's credit, he has done what he can. But he's

1272
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 11: only one guy. He's only one guy, and we need money.

1273
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:27,439
Speaker 11: I have credibility in Detroit. I'm connected in Detroit. I've

1274
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 11: been in trouble with the law. I've turned my life around.

1275
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 11: I've been I'm a businessman. I've had some success, I have.

1276
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 4: Some educational success. I need help with money.

1277
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 11: I couldn't go to a good, a good event last

1278
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 11: night because of the ticket price. I just couldn't afford

1279
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 11: to go because I'm spending all of my money on

1280
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 11: my campaign stuff. It's all coming out of my pocket,

1281
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 11: and I wanted to thank you. I wanted to ask

1282
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 11: you if you guys can be of any help in

1283
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 11: that regard get money to candidates who have districts in Detroit.

1284
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 11: The second thing, I really hope that we get a

1285
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 11: chance to follow up because this is what I'm also.

1286
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 11: One of the problems I'm finding, and one of the

1287
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 11: things I think hurts the credibility of the candidates is

1288
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,879
Speaker 11: getting access to him. God gives you a card at

1289
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 11: a function, you call the number.

1290
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 3: He never answers, never returns.

1291
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 11: The call, never, never any of that. I'm going to

1292
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 11: ask for contact information from you guys at the end

1293
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 11: of this so I can follow up with you.

1294
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 4: Please.

1295
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 3: So what are you running for? You're running for.

1296
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 11: House of Representatives, House of Representatives District seven and I'm

1297
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 11: buried at all Altman h And one more thing, because

1298
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 11: you didn't make the checkout to you may go to

1299
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 11: elect Barry Alman. That's who you are. Elect Barry Allman.

1300
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 11: That is the name my campaign. Detroit is the poorest

1301
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 11: city in the country. It's hard to even get volunteer

1302
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 11: help because everybody there is in survival mode.

1303
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 4: It's hard to get help.

1304
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 11: I need money, that's what and I got pledged cards

1305
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 11: if anybody wants.

1306
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,759
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you the hardest part. You can clap

1307
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 3: for you and me put his name on about it.

1308
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 3: That's hard. I tell people, the hardest part of this

1309
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 3: job is asking people for their money, because you know

1310
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,640
Speaker 3: how hard they work for it, and you know that

1311
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 3: they have other responsibilities, other things they have to take overs.

1312
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 3: I always tell people every time I go in and

1313
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 3: have to ask them. I also know I can't win

1314
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 3: with If I'm running for office, you can't win unless

1315
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 3: you have the resources because you've got to fight the media.

1316
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 3: You're not going to have them telling your story. You're

1317
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 3: going to have to have the resources to tell the

1318
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 3: truth to people. So I always tell them, listen, I

1319
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 3: hate asking for your money. I also know I can't

1320
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 3: win without it. But I promise you this, I will

1321
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 3: be a good investment. And that's that's one thing that

1322
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 3: I'd encourage Berry to say, is say I will be

1323
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,839
Speaker 3: a good investment. What I tell you I am today.

1324
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 3: When I win, I will be exactly what I said

1325
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 3: I would be. I will I will go there, I

1326
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 3: will learn, I will do the research, I will work hard,

1327
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 3: and I will be a good investment. And people appreciate

1328
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 3: that because they know that you recognize that their dollars

1329
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 3: they work hard for and that they're trusting you to

1330
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 3: be a good steward of it.

1331
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I would just say that I think that

1332
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 2: Republicans are changing the way they're looking at things. You know,

1333
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 2: we've historically been told you're not welcome hearing, not welcome here.

1334
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 2: And I will say that when I was running, we

1335
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 2: had an event and some gentlemen came from Dearborn and

1336
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 2: they said, you know, we were told that if we

1337
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 2: came to this event, we would be kicked out. And

1338
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 2: they said, but then we sat here and we heard

1339
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 2: a lot of things that mean something to our community.

1340
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 2: And I think that's it's a shame on us, but

1341
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 2: it's also a new world where we are realizing that

1342
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 2: it's time for us to reach everybody. It's time for

1343
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 2: us to go the places that everybody told us, well,

1344
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 2: you'll never be accepted there. And I'm so glad that

1345
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 2: you're doing this. I mean, it means so much to

1346
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 2: us that you are stepping up and doing this and

1347
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 2: that falls on all of us who have run before

1348
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 2: to answer your call, and I mean it, to answer

1349
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 2: your call and say we know someone. I know someone,

1350
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 2: Let me help you, let me introduce you, let me

1351
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 2: move you along. Because this is a group effort. And

1352
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 2: the Democrats do it. They don't lack for money, and

1353
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 2: they have like a pile. I think they do have

1354
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 2: a money tree, Like where does this money tree grow

1355
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 2: for the Democrats? Apparently somewhere in Soro's land. But we

1356
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 2: need to step up. So that's on us, and I

1357
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 2: will answer your call. I think that anytime any community

1358
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 2: that you live in, you have to be involved in

1359
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:56,759
Speaker 2: your community. And one of the things that I've heard

1360
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:58,560
Speaker 2: when you talk about schools, one of the things that

1361
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,680
Speaker 2: I've heard about parents, and I think this is very encouraging,

1362
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 2: is that when parents go to their local school and

1363
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 2: they say, hey, you know what, I don't love this,

1364
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 2: their teachers are like, let's work it out, so we don't.

1365
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 2: And to your point of not being angry all the time,

1366
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 2: not being automatically offended, and assuming everybody is against you

1367
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 2: and there's a right and a wrong, sit down and

1368
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 2: talk about it, find out the story. It happens. It's

1369
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 2: locally is the most important. That's where everything happens in

1370
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 2: your life and your heart with your kids.

1371
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 11: So it is.

1372
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 2: Important to get involved locally. Now, I would say that

1373
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 2: a prayer group is also so important because one of

1374
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 2: the consistent messages that I heard over the last week

1375
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 2: was that the Democrat Party is inclusive unless you're Christian,

1376
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,000
Speaker 2: and so we need to we need to be prepared

1377
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 2: for the attack against Christians, and we need to we

1378
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 2: need to make sure that we're all praying for one another.

1379
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 3: And the world is still moved by people who show up,

1380
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 3: So just show up. The fact that you show up

1381
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 3: at all those meetings is powerful. Bring a friend with

1382
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,719
Speaker 3: you the next time. Listen. When I ran for governor,

1383
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 3: I wasn't supposed to win. People don't know this about

1384
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 3: South Dakota. Everybody thinks it's so conservative, it's really populist.

1385
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 3: When I won governor, I only won by three points

1386
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 3: against a guy who was a Bernie Sanders guy. Yes,

1387
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 3: so nobody really knows how tough of a race that was.

1388
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 3: And it was hard. He was a cowboy who'd had

1389
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 3: a tragic accident, was in a wheelchair and talked like

1390
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 3: he was a conservative. But that was like a knife

1391
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 3: fight in a ditch. A big factor in South Dakota

1392
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 3: was that I was a woman. South Dakota was not

1393
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 3: ready to see a woman. They were okay electing them

1394
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 3: to office and sending them to Congress, but they weren't

1395
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 3: quite ready for a woman to be the CEO, to

1396
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 3: be the boss of the state. And so that was

1397
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 3: a huge factor in my polling. And so I ran

1398
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 3: on building stronger families and growing our state. Our state

1399
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 3: was dying, people were leaving, and I didn't really think

1400
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 3: about being a woman. I never talked about it until

1401
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 3: the day I was being sworn in. It was my

1402
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 3: inauguration and there was hundreds and hundreds and maybe thousands

1403
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:59,480
Speaker 3: of people filling the Capitol building, and all the balconies

1404
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 3: were filled with people. And then when the ceremony started,

1405
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 3: they started to talk about how historical this event was.

1406
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 3: And it was historical because I was being sworn in

1407
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 3: as the first female governor of the state on the

1408
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 3: one hundredth anniversary of women getting the right to vote

1409
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 3: in our state, and all the songs were picked out

1410
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 3: to honor that occasion. All the previous speakers talked about that,

1411
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 3: and I was standing there thinking, man, this is a

1412
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 3: big deal. And I got really nervous, and I thought

1413
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 3: I better not screw this up.

1414
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 4: You know.

1415
01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 3: I was like, this is going to be in a

1416
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 3: history book somewhere someday, and I better make sure that

1417
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 3: I do a good job. And as I was getting

1418
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 3: sworn in, and I had my hand on my dad's Bible,

1419
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 3: and I was thinking, you know, how am I going

1420
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 3: to do this. It was for the first time I thought,

1421
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can do this. And I

1422
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 3: remember I made two promises, and one was to uphold

1423
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 3: the constitution of the State of South Dakota and the

1424
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 3: second one was to uphold the Constitution of the United

1425
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:00,160
Speaker 3: States of America. Two promises, and I thought to myself, well,

1426
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 3: I can do that. I can too promises. That's not

1427
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 3: hard at all. So that's from day one. I have

1428
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 3: a form that everyone in my staff has to fill

1429
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 3: out on every idea they bring to me, every bill,

1430
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 3: and it's the first The first thing is when it's

1431
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 3: this bill, this idea, this change we're going to do,

1432
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 3: our first question is is this constitutional? Do I have

1433
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 3: the authority to do this? Why do I not have

1434
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 3: the authority to do this? What happens if this bill

1435
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 3: becomes law, what happens if it doesn't become law? And

1436
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 3: the last question is what does this mean to our

1437
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 3: next generation? I don't want people thinking about what happens

1438
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 3: in six months for the political purposes. What happens twenty

1439
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 3: years from now if we do this, what happens? What

1440
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 3: do we open the door to? What's the precedent we

1441
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 3: sent in court cases? If this gets challenged? You know

1442
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 3: what is I want people thinking long term. The question

1443
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:48,640
Speaker 3: and the problem is is that we don't have a

1444
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 3: president in the White House that respects the Constitution, that

1445
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,280
Speaker 3: gets up in the morning and says, is this constitutional?

1446
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 3: Do I have this authority? President Trump did? He did.

1447
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 3: He followed the Constitution, and he said during the pandemic,

1448
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 3: during everything that I brought to him that I asked

1449
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 3: him to let me do, he would recognize, Yes, Christy,

1450
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 3: go make the best decisions for your people. Go make

1451
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 3: that is not my authority to do that. This is

1452
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 3: your authority to do that. That's what we need in

1453
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 3: the White House. Again, That's why we need him back.

1454
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 3: Heat respects our history, respects our country, and you lose

1455
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 3: perspective if you're somebody who doesn't appreciate the Constitution and

1456
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 3: follow it that way. That is what we need to

1457
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 3: get back in the White House. And that's why we

1458
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 3: need President Donald J. Trump back, so that we can

1459
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 3: respect our constitution and make sure the states have the

1460
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 3: power the.

1461
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 2: Federal government doesn't have the power. I want to tell

1462
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,720
Speaker 2: you all, we are so grateful that you're here. I mean,

1463
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 2: think about this, Look at this room. This on a

1464
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 2: Friday night, and I know we have a convention tomorrow,

1465
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 2: so I know a lot of you are giving up

1466
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 2: your Friday night to be here. This is meaningful, This

1467
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,799
Speaker 2: is from the heart. So again, we don't be offended.

1468
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:04,680
Speaker 2: Talk about it, have a hug, hug it out. And

1469
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,720
Speaker 2: my kids watch trolls all the time. It's hug time,

1470
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 2: so make sure you make time for hug time. And

1471
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 2: let's say thank you to this wonderful lady, the governor

1472
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 2: of South Dakota, who came here to talk to us.

1473
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 3: We are so grateful to you.

1474
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 2: But we are so grateful to you, and I hope

1475
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 2: that it's okay that I speak for these people. We

1476
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 2: are so grateful that you came and shared this story

1477
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 2: with us because you were very vulnerable. You told us

1478
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 2: about your state. And I think that so many of

1479
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 2: us need to hear what success looks like because we

1480
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 2: haven't seen it in a very long time. But it

1481
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 2: gives us all hope. And I think right now we're

1482
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 2: living on fumes of hope and we know that that

1483
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 2: comes in every one of us stepping up. So thank

1484
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 2: you for stepping up, and thank you for being here.

1485
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 3: Go be happy, go talk to people. Thank you, Thank
