1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I'm excited about today

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: because I get to have my friend Kyle Olsen with me,

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: although we are talking about a very serious subject. So

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: let me just give you kind of the background on

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: what we're talking about before I bring Kyle in. Because

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: many of you probably heard the name Ruby Garcia. Kyle

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: actually broke this story about Ruby. So Ruby is a

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: Grand Rapids, Michigan resident, and she was unfortunately brutally murdered

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: by an illegal alien about just a little over a

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: week ago now, or actually just a week ago. So

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: we wanted to kind of bring bring Kyle in and

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: follow this story because Kyle broke the story about this

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: gentleman who I shouldn't. I can't even call him a gentleman,

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: the man who killed her being illegal. And this is

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: something that I think is fascinating because we haven't heard

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: from the governor of Michigan yet. The state police knew this,

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: but they didn't talk about it. We hadn't heard from

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: the congresswoman in the grind Rapids area until after you

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: broke the story, after the state police came out, after

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: a local news station went to Hillary Skulton and said,

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: are you going to comment on this, and then she

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: decided to actually do this, So, Kyle, I want to

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: bring you in and talk about this because to me,

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: it's sort of an interesting twist that Hillary Skulton has

25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: worked on immigration cases for much of her life, and

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: she refused to comment on this until it was drawn

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: out of her by the local media, and then she

28
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: still didn't put the statement out until there was a

29
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on her from national media media outlets saying,

30
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: come on, when are you going to say something?

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: Right?

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a horrible story of Brandon Ortiz allegedly at

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: this point allegedly was driving Ruby Garcia and shot her

34
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: in the car and stopped the car on one P

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: thirty one, which is a major highway that's running through

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: Grand Rapids, walked around to the passenger side of the car,

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: shot her again, dragged her out, left her on the

38
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: side of the road, and drove away. And it's in

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: what we have found since all of this came out

40
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: is that he was deported in twenty twenty September of

41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: twenty twenty by the Trump administration because he had been

42
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 3: arrested again in twenty twenty for drunk driving. He had

43
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: other run ins with the law in twenty eighteen and

44
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, but he was deported in September of twenty twenty.

45
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 3: At some point he came back into the country. We

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: again more of our reportings showed that he was what

47
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: Border Patrol calls a god away, which basically means, you know,

48
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: someone who came into the country illegally, was not processed

49
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: and then let go and expected to you know, appear

50
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: for hearing. He just got into the country and then

51
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: of course Ruby Garcia loses her life at his hands allegedly.

52
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: I just want to go back a little bit because

53
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of an interesting twist. We've heard a lot

54
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: of people saying this is a carjacking gone wrong, but

55
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: it looks as though potentially they knew each other, which

56
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: to me is a scary situation because he comes into

57
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: the country, he befriends someone, she trusts him. She's twenty

58
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: five years old, he's twenty five years old. He ends

59
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: up killing her in such a violent manner. I mean,

60
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions here that we haven't heard

61
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: from the investigation. I'm assuming the investigation is still going on.

62
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Were they driving when this happened? He pulls off to

63
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: the side of the road. I mean, like you said,

64
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: this is a major highway. But how many more stories

65
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: like this are we going to have to hear? Because

66
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: we hear about Lake and Riley, we see the State

67
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: of the Union addressed, and then just weeks later we

68
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: hear about Ruby Garcia. And again I want to point

69
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: out that Hillary Sculton is not saying anything about this

70
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: until she's forced to. Hillary Sulton again, she is the

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: congresswoman in this area. This is one of her constituents

72
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: who was brutally murdered. Her family has come out and

73
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: said that she was the light of their life. They're

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: devastated by this. Of course, that this is going to

75
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: hurt many, many lives in the Grun Rapids area. And

76
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: yet if you dig into Hillary Schulton's background, who I

77
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: have to say comes off as like this, you know,

78
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: Michigan mom type. And that's what the Democrats are really pushing,

79
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: is Michigan mom coming out to protect you. She has

80
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: not protected the people of Grun Rapids. And in fact,

81
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: I want to go through a few of her cases

82
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: because she has defended some of the worst people that

83
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: have come across the border and tried to keep them here, right.

84
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: So, prior to running for Congress, she first ran in

85
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: twenty twenty and lost, and then she ran in twenty

86
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: twenty two and one. So she's running for reelection for

87
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: the first time this year. But prior to running for Congress,

88
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: she was an immigrant attorney for the Michigan Immigrant Rights

89
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: Center and her responsibilities based One of her responsibilities was

90
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: to represent immigrants who were being threatened with deportation and

91
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: she was trying to keep them in the country. And

92
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: so we published a story that detailed all of her

93
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: background and why this is relevant to this Brandon Ortiz

94
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: Ruby Garcia case specifically. So, for example, in two thousand

95
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: and eleven, she co authored an article where she made

96
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: the argument that the Eighth Amendment would protect certain people

97
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: from being deported and she considers some deportation's cruel and

98
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: unusual punishment.

99
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: And I just want to stop you there for a second,

100
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: because we recently spoke with Ken Paxton and I was

101
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: talking to him about some of these Democrats in Michigan

102
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: and what they're doing with the five hundred dollars a

103
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: month and even this, and he was like, you have

104
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: to understand, this is aiding and abetting a criminal. This

105
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: is allowing them to continue. They've broken the law, and

106
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: you're defending this. And she's going out there not only

107
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: trying to twist the law to their advantage, but also

108
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: she's publishing articles saying I'm going to reinterpret the law

109
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: and say that this crime is covered.

110
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: How can that even be Well, that's a good question.

111
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: But this shows when she's not posturing in front of

112
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: the camera and attempting to look bipartisan and all of that.

113
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: If you look at her history, you can see where

114
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 3: she really stands on these issues. And so in twenty fifteen,

115
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: there was a woman, an Iraqi immigrant, who had been

116
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: convicted and was a registered sex offender. She took up

117
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 3: her case. Hillary Scolton took up her case and tried

118
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: to prevent her deportation even though she was a registered

119
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: sex offender. And she has been an outspoken proponent of

120
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: sanctuary cities and sanctuary counties, which we all know what

121
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: that means. And in fact, in twenty eighteen, she now

122
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: this took place in Kent County and Brandon Ortiz is

123
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: currently housed, or at least had been housed in the

124
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: Kent County jail as his hearing is his case proceeds.

125
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 3: She actually advocated in twenty eighteen that Kent County, the

126
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: Kent County Jail does not work with Ice. So just

127
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: imagine in a situation like in Kent County, if there

128
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: was a road prosecutor who let him go for some

129
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: strange reason. If Hillary Skolton had her way, Ice would

130
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: not be able to work with the Kent County Jail

131
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: to go pick him up, and he could potentially just

132
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: be released into the community, never to be seen again.

133
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: I think that's something news.

134
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: Are I think that's something that people need to understand

135
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: about sanctuary cities. We've talked about this recently. A sanctuary

136
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: city is not just this nice, friendly place where people

137
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: bring you bread baskets and welcome you into the neighborhood.

138
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: This is a place where they want to actively keep

139
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: Ice out. Anybody that is looking to see if there

140
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: is someone who is a danger, someone who shouldn't be

141
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: in this country, they want to keep you out. This

142
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: is what Hillary Skulton worked to do. She worked to

143
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: keep Ice out of our city here in Michigan. And

144
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: just so you know, if you're not in Michigan, no

145
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: matter where you are, these people are out there, and

146
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: that's why it's so important for you to understand who

147
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: you're voting for. This is a woman who is up

148
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: for reelection this year. She has played the game really

149
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: well of I am this innocent soccer mom. I want

150
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: to represent the people. Meanwhile, she has been working legally

151
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: to allow people who are criminals. But also this is

152
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: a man who she worked to say, hey, I want him,

153
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: whether she knew was him specifically, she was still working

154
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: to say I want him protected from anybody in the

155
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: federal government who's going to say he's got to get

156
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: out of here. And now a woman's life has been lost.

157
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: These people need to be held accountable for what they've done.

158
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, the things that Hillary Skolton

159
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: has done in her life, the work that she has done,

160
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: can be directly connected back to the fact that we

161
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: have dangerous criminals on the street. And if you take

162
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: that woman that you were just talking about, the Iraqi

163
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: woman who was a convicted sex predator, sex offender, how

164
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: much detail do we have on that? How and how

165
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: do you become a convicted sex offender in the United

166
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: States and not immediately get deported? She was the one

167
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: standing in the way there. That's what happens, right right.

168
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 3: And we're digging into all of these because there's several

169
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: examples of how she has frankly been in an America

170
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: last person, both professionally in prior to running for Congress

171
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 3: and during Congress during her time in Congress. But it's you,

172
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: I don't know the exact process. My guess is that

173
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 3: people have the opportunity to fight a deportation, and that's

174
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 3: where somebody like Hillary Scotland comes in and says, no,

175
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: this person should not be deported. But while she has

176
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: been in Congress since twenty twenty three, when she was

177
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: sworn in last year, just in the first couple months

178
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: of when she was in Congress, there was a resolution

179
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: that was introduced that would make assaulting a first responder

180
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: a deportable offense. She voted against that. She voted against

181
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: a resolution that would prohibit the use of public school

182
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 3: buildings to house non citizens. We've seen this story in

183
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: New York and elsewhere where.

184
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: Right, remember where the families were told You're kids are

185
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: going to be home today because we have to house

186
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: illegal migrants who have not been vaccinated, who could be

187
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: carrying illnesses. In your school. They're going to be here

188
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: and then we're going to bring your kids back into

189
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: this school. And the parents there were outraged. They could

190
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: not imagine their kids had already been out of school

191
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: for the pandemic and now you're coming to me again

192
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: and saying we're commandeering this. And that's what I think

193
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: people need to understand. This is big government at its finest,

194
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: and this is something that Hillary Skulton supports, big government

195
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: coming in and confiscating your child's school and saying we'll

196
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: do whatever we want with it. Your kid'll be back

197
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: when we say your kid comes back. These are the

198
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: votes that I think are really important for Republicans to

199
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: make sure people understand. And that's where I say we

200
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: have failed. The RNC has failed. They have not been

201
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: able to in the past go out and tell the

202
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: truth on these people, and people will say to me, oh,

203
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: are you going to attack Democrats. No, I'm going to

204
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: tell you the truth about them. We deserve in this district,

205
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: in the third District of Michigan, we deserved to know

206
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: who we were electing, and that information didn't come out.

207
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: That's why to me, this is so important that we

208
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: are exposing who she really is, because what she votes

209
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: for is dangerous for our kids. This is absolutely on

210
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: so many levels going in and taking over my school,

211
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: making getting these people back out on the streets. She

212
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: but see, Kyle, I think the thing that is concerning

213
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: to me is this is also a woman who went

214
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: on Fox News and was like, I am an advocate

215
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: for making sure that we have good border control, that

216
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: we are taking care of this issue, that we are

217
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: strong on the border. She's a liar. She's the one

218
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: out there trying to get these.

219
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: People freed, right, and she's yes.

220
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: And there was another resolution that was introduced that would

221
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: prohibit housing of illegal immigrants on federally administered land.

222
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: She voted against that.

223
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: There was a resolution in January of twenty twenty four

224
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: this year that specifically denounced quote the bid administration's open

225
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 3: border policies, condemning the national security and public safety crisis

226
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: along the Southwest border, and urging President Biden to end

227
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: his administrations open border policies.

228
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: She voted against that.

229
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: So what I think her record shows is that she

230
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 3: is because you, as you indicate it, she now is

231
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: trying to posture like she's coming up. She wants to

232
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: come up with the bipartisan solution to end the border crisis,

233
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: to fix the immigration system, which is I think everyone

234
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: agrees is very broken.

235
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: The question is how you actually fix that.

236
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 3: She now is trying to posture as oh, she's just

237
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: a reasonable, moderate person, but her record says otherwise, and

238
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: her record creates these situations, or her activities and her

239
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: advocacy creates these situations where people like Brandon Ortiz are

240
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 3: able to stay in the country, are able to sneak

241
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: back into the country once they're already deported, and then

242
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: these sorts of horrible events take place.

243
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

244
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. And this is a very dangerous

245
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: situation for the Grun Rapids area. She's obviously been in

246
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: danger to Grun Rapids, a quiet danger for a long time.

247
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's the important thing, is that you

248
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: don't necessarily know what these people are doing behind the

249
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: scenes when they're advocating for ice not to be able

250
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: to come into the city, when they're advocating for sex

251
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: offenders to go back out on our streets. And I

252
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: can think of nothing more terrifying than that, as not

253
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: knowing that there's someone here in this country illegally that

254
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: is hurting kids or hurting people in that type of manner,

255
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: and she's advocating for this. But you don't know this

256
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: about someone who is not a public person. But now

257
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: she is a public person. She's an election it official,

258
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: and this is what she wants in a state where

259
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: this is the common mentality of Democrats, because they are

260
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: actively seeking to have more illegal immigrants in this state.

261
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: And I say that because we see the bills that

262
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: they're passing. And again I go back to what Ken

263
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: Paxton said about aiding and embedding these people who are

264
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: breaking the law. And so that's what you have in

265
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: the governor of the state of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer. She

266
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: signed a bill saying, you know what, if you, as

267
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: a homeowner, want to take in a newcomer, that's the

268
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: new word, a newcomer. I mean, these are the manipulations

269
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: they play. They twist the words, they make it sound good.

270
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: It's not a sanctuary anymore, it's a welcoming city. It's

271
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: not an illegal alien anymore. It's a newcomer. And so

272
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: you've got Gretchen Whitmer who says, okay, if you take

273
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: a newcomer into your home, I mean, imagine this. You

274
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: don't know who these people are. You don't know whether

275
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: or not a Hillary Skulton has gotten them off, and

276
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: they have this terrible record. I mean, hopefully you can

277
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: look a little bit of this up. But let's face it,

278
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: if you are protecting these people from ice, it's going

279
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: to be hard to find out what their record is.

280
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: And so and again, we're not keeping track of these offenses.

281
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: And therefore you have Joe Biden out there celebrating that

282
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: we have the lowest crime ever. No no, no, no, no,

283
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: you're just not keeping track of crime. So we have

284
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: Gretchen Wimer saying, if you bring a newcomer or an

285
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: illegal alien into your home, the state will pay you

286
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars a month. This to me is totally

287
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: insane because you could have people coming into your home

288
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: you know nothing about them. They could take over your house.

289
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: How do you ever get somebody out of your home?

290
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: The state will do this for up to twelve months.

291
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: After twelve months, what happens to these people. There is

292
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: no plan. This bill has no plan. There's no meat

293
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: to this bill because they don't want to have meat

294
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: in this bill vice versa. What if you have somebody

295
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: who says, I'm going to take some in and then man,

296
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: I'll just have them cook and clean and they'll take

297
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: care of me and they'll be like my my little

298
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: servant here. This is to me the most dangerous situation.

299
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: But for a desperate administration that needs people in the

300
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: state and wants to look like they are this humanitarian hero,

301
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: this is what we get in the state of Michigan.

302
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, this is not surprising from the Whitmer administration

303
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: because she put together this, uh it was a population

304
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 3: commission because Michigan is losing population, which is a very

305
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: rare thing in the US, and so she put together

306
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: this popula this population commission to try and figure out, well,

307
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: what what new programs do we need to have or

308
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: what what incentives do does the state need to offer

309
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: for companies to move here, for people to move here

310
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 3: so our population will grow. And what they concluded was basically,

311
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 3: we need to focus on immigration, and we need to

312
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: focus on people migrating into the US and migrating into Michigan,

313
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 3: and that's how we're going to grow the population. And

314
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 3: it's to me, it seems like it's a very flawed

315
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 3: sort of way to go about it. And so this

316
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: program that they've created where they're offering people five hundred

317
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: dollars a month to house people, I think is completely

318
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: on brand for what her strategy is, if you can

319
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 3: even call it a strategy. But what's interesting is I

320
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 3: think so you mentioned Skolton finally said something days after

321
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 3: this took place. Gretchen Whitmer, at least is the time

322
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 3: we're talking as of the time we're talking now, has

323
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 3: not said anything about this. Alyssa Slockin, who wants to

324
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 3: be the next US senator from the state of Michigan,

325
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 3: has not said anything about this. And it's hard to

326
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: understand what their motivation is. If they're just too busy,

327
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: you know, tweeting about abortion or tweeting about beer or

328
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: basketballing or whatever, they just can't get around to it.

329
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if that's it, or if it doesn't

330
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: quite fit the narrative. I mean, it seems to me like,

331
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: you know, Gretchen Whitmer has been such a champion, at

332
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 3: least that's how she's postured, a champion of women. Well,

333
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 3: where is she saying anything about Ruby Garcia? Why isn't

334
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: she saying Ruby Garcia's name. Why isn't she saying this

335
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 3: is wrong, This never should have happened. We need to

336
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 3: get to the bottom of why it happened and changed policy,

337
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 3: if that's what we need to do to make sure

338
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 3: that this never happens.

339
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: Again, because it can be directly connected back to the

340
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: people that she wants to either get re elected or

341
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: elected to new positions, including herself. She is the co

342
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: chair of Joe Biden's campaign. She certainly can't come out

343
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, well, one of his policies caused a

344
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: complete tragedy in my state. But you know what, when

345
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 1: you are governor of a state, you don't really get

346
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: much of a choice when you have a horrific murder.

347
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: My goodness, if this were happening on Michigan State's campus again,

348
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: she would be all over it. That's the disgusting part.

349
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: If it affects her directly, if she can identify somehow

350
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: with the victim, then she talks about the person she

351
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: apparently can't identify with Ruby Garcia. Apparently Ruby Garcia is

352
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: just a totally different type of woman for her, and

353
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: she can't identify. I don't know to me, it's totally disgusting.

354
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: But I remember a few years back when Gretchen Witmer's

355
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: plan to grow the state with abortion. She said she

356
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: was going to eat Indiana's lunch by bringing people here

357
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: because they would get to have all the abortions they wanted.

358
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: It's like, I think someone must have taken her aside

359
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: and been like, you understand what happens then, like, maybe

360
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: not the best population growth plan. So then she switched

361
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: over to illegals and she's like, Okay, all right, maybe

362
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: abortion is not such a great one. We'll bring in

363
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: people and then we'll have people in Michigan house them.

364
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: The danger of this plan is completely ridiculous. But she's

365
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: also I mean, she's using state funds to build housing.

366
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 1: She's hoping that she can as a state build housing

367
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: for people and then bring more people here, and then

368
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: what are we all going to live in government funded housing?

369
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: The whole thing is it's just reeks of big government,

370
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: big government, big government, and I'm pretty sure that the

371
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: people of Michigan are not for big government.

372
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: Well, to me, it really gets to the philosophy of

373
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: how do you manage a state, how do you grow

374
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 3: a state? And who should be attempting to do that.

375
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 3: Should you rely on the private sector and unleash the

376
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: potential of the private sector by decreasing regulation, lowering taxes,

377
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 3: empowering people to have control over their own lives, or

378
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 3: do you no, No.

379
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: They don't want people to have control over their own lives.

380
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: That's insane.

381
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's the point. The alternative is what they

382
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 3: are opting for, and that is, well, let's spend billions

383
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 3: of dollars in rehab housing and use Michigan tax payer

384
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 3: dollars to do that, or let's provide massive incentives to

385
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 3: foreign companies to come in and cross our fingers that

386
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 3: they're not going to automate and they will actually have

387
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 3: human beings to Michigan, human beings doing the jobs. And

388
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: that's her philosophy, is using government to try and grow

389
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: the economy, to try and grow the population, to try

390
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: and improve academic outcomes, instead of trusting people, trusting parents,

391
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: trusting the private sector and the free market allowing those

392
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: things to work. That's what we're seeing in other states.

393
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 3: You mentioned Ken Paxton a couple of times. That's what

394
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: we've seen in Texas. We've seen that in Florida, We've

395
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 3: seen that in South Dakota and other states, and then

396
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 3: you've got states like Michigan and Illinois, in New York

397
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: and California that they want this big government. We're going

398
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 3: to tax you like crazy, We're going to spend all

399
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 3: of your money because we know how to spend it

400
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: better than you do. That's the philosophy, and that's the

401
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 3: road that she has taken Michigan down.

402
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

403
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. I think that if people understood

404
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: who Gretchen Whitmer really is, they would be less inclined

405
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: to hold her up. Now maybe on the left that's

406
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: not the case. Maybe they're going to do it no

407
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: matter what. But if you found out that she is

408
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: taking you mentioned corporate corporations that promise jobs and then

409
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: they automate. That's happened. She's given hundreds of millions of

410
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: dollars to corporations in the state of Michigan who promise

411
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: jobs and then there's no repercussions if the jobs don't

412
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: come and they automate, they just still get the money.

413
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: That's the frustrating party. There's no ROI I mean, you

414
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: have no return on the taxpayer's investment. And I think

415
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: for her having no business experience, there is no need

416
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: for a return on investment because she doesn't understand it.

417
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: It's like completely goes over her head. Oh wait, I

418
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: brought a company here, I should be given accolades. And

419
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: we let her get away with it. And then she

420
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: takes taxpayer money and she says, I'm going to give

421
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: you free stuff. I'm going to give you free college

422
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: community Every kid in Michigan will get two free years

423
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: of community college, two free years of preschool. Well, guess what,

424
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: that's four years of school that we are paying for

425
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: as taxpayers, two unions. Then that money goes right back

426
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: into her pocket. The same thing with taking up one

427
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: point five billion dollars and putting it into housing. If

428
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: you were bringing businesses here, American businesses that are also

429
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: building up communities, which is how that works, that's how

430
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: economic development works. For Gretchen Wimmer, who clearly doesn't know that,

431
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: then you don't have to have the state build housing.

432
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: Then those people are coming in with salaries, coming in

433
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: with futures, they're building their own housing. We end up

434
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: with a boom. We've had no boom Michigan has been

435
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: in dire straits for decades now. We had a small

436
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: boost under Snider, but again he was a champion of China,

437
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: which has in the long run hurt us. We need

438
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 1: to be bringing American companies into the state of Michigan,

439
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: and so far we have not seemed to have a

440
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: governor that understands economic development well and.

441
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 2: Not just bringing American companies in.

442
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: I agree with that because if you go to places

443
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 3: like you know, it's really interesting. If you drive to

444
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 3: Milwaukee from Michigan, you have to go around like Michigan

445
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 3: through Chicago, you cross the border from Illinois into Wisconsin

446
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 3: and there's major corporations virtually right on the border and big,

447
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: big companies that a lot of people have heard of.

448
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: And that's because it's Wisconsin is a more favorable place

449
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 3: to do business. And so instead of instead of trying

450
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 3: to bring more people in, bring more companies outside companies in,

451
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 3: maybe the thinking should be what do we need to

452
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: do to make it easier for existing companies, companies that

453
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 3: have people already here, they have legacies here, sometimes multi

454
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 3: generational family legacies in these companies. What do we need

455
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: to do to make it easier for them to stay

456
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 3: here and to grow. Because you take restaurants, for example,

457
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 3: during the pandemic, her lockdown orders cost three hundred thousand

458
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 3: restaurant jobs three hundred thousand. A lot of those have

459
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 3: come back, but a lot of them have not. And

460
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: what if she went to restaurant owners and she said,

461
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 3: what regulations do you have that we could repeal, that

462
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 3: we could refine, that we could tweak whatever it is

463
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 3: that would make it easier for you to hire people.

464
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: But she doesn't think, I laugh, because that's just not

465
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: in her nature or her administration's nature. I mean, we

466
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: have talked to companies that have said we're looking to leave,

467
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 1: We're going to Texas, We've already bought the land. Because

468
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: it's not just the over regulation, it's from so many

469
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: different agencies that she completely overhauled. You've got the environmental agency,

470
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: whereas she'll bring in Goshen and give no environmental review

471
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: at all. We'll have companies that are suppliers to our

472
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: legacy automotive industry and they're saying, oh, you can't use

473
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: this process anymore. You can't use this process. Well, guess

474
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: what that process is going to be used somewhere. So

475
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: they're going to leave. They're going to take their ten

476
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: thousand jobs with them. These are industries that are our

477
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: biggest industries, and she's going after the other things she's

478
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: done is this bizarro climate plan where we're going to

479
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: have one hundred percent renewable energy by twenty forty fifty

480
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: percent by twenty thirty five. I think we're at like

481
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: twelve or fourteen percent right now, and we have the

482
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: highest energy costs in the entire Midwest. So if you're

483
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: a manufacturing company, that's another turnoff. And if you like

484
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: to your point, if you were to go to our

485
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: existing companies and say, hey, we're going to make sure

486
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: that you're getting a low energy price, we're going to

487
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: make sure that the actual energy continues to stay on

488
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: because we have a problem with that too. But when

489
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: she goes to these companies and says, hey, we're going

490
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: to start putting solar panels around and hope that it

491
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: doesn't snow too much on those, and we're going to

492
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: put windmills in the lake and hope that people are

493
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: okay with that destroying all the fish in the lake,

494
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: manufacturing companies are like, you know what, I'm going to

495
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: go to Ohio. I'm going to go to Indiana. I

496
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: want to be I want to feel safe, because you

497
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: have to have energy security if you that's a number

498
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: one priority if you're going to run a manufacturing company

499
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: is energy security. If you don't have the security that

500
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: your lights are going to be on, that your machines

501
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: are going to be running, you're not coming to Michigan, right.

502
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 3: And she's trying to force these renewable energies into Michigan

503
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: in a place that I think just historically fundamentally it's

504
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: not equipped. So for example, there's there's very sunny areas

505
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 3: of the country Florida, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, et cetera,

506
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 3: where there's there's sun pretty much, you know, when there's daylight.

507
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: In a place like Michigan. There are places in the

508
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 3: state of Michigan where this year there was literally zero

509
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: hours of sunshine in the month of January.

510
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: And not that you should not that should not deter

511
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: you from moving here, but yeah, it was kind of.

512
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: Miserable and so.

513
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: But so you look at that stat and you think

514
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 3: about the lack of sun in a lot of places

515
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 3: in Michigan because it's cloudy because of the lakes and

516
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 3: just the nature of it. How does the solar panel

517
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: work when there's no.

518
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: Sun, how does it work covered in snow?

519
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: Exactly?

520
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 3: But it doesn't seem like they really think about that

521
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: or when the or when the wind is not blowing,

522
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: because there have been a lot of studies done in

523
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 3: the state of Michigan about where it makes the most

524
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 3: sense to put wind turbines and where the most wind is.

525
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 3: The studies have shown in the in the in Lake Michigan,

526
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: that's where you're supposed to put them, or that's where

527
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 3: you should with them.

528
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: And that's another gem from the Democrats who took away

529
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: local control.

530
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 3: And so what they did was earlier this year they

531
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 3: passed a bill or in twenty twenty three they passed

532
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: a bill that took away local control. And so what

533
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: that means is a is a city or a township

534
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 3: or a county cannot pass an ordinance that says we're

535
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: not going to have wind turbines or we're not going

536
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: to have solar panels. That power to make that decision

537
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: has now moved to Lansing, and there's four bureaucrats who

538
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 3: now are sitting and have that power to decide we're

539
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 3: going to put a wind turbine on the top of

540
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: a school. We're going to put a wind turbine in

541
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: the middle of Lake Michigan. And you local communities who

542
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 3: have to now deal with that, you have no say,

543
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: you have no power, you have no control, because we

544
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 3: sitting in Lansing, we know what's best.

545
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: And this is the philosophy that's going on.

546
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: And just so you're clear, when they put a giant

547
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: wind turbine or a wind farm next to your kids' school,

548
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: it's a huge power plan next to your kids' school.

549
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: So all the people out there that are like, oh,

550
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: this is so clean and this is so good for you,

551
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: you've got high voltage just coursing through that entire area

552
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: that's right next to where your kid is going to school.

553
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: We don't know the effects of solar panels. We don't

554
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: know the effects of these wind turbines in the lake.

555
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: If you've been listening to the podcast, you've heard us

556
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: talk quite a bit about what it's doing in the ocean.

557
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: And this is the Democrats America. You don't get a say,

558
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: you don't get a say. They take this away from you,

559
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: They take away local control. The farmer who has shared

560
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: equipment with his neighbor for generations. Suddenly the neighbor gets

561
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: a big offer from Big Solar. And I say that

562
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: because these guys come in and they offer you more

563
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: money than your farm would ever be worth for farming,

564
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: because they know it's an offer you can't refuse. They

565
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: shut down that farm, they shut down this farm. Then

566
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: you know you got the one family farmer left in

567
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: the middle, who's like, nobody's sharing equipment with me anymore.

568
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: I can't afford to keep farming. We have an energy

569
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: security issue, we have a food security issue. This is

570
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: all fully connected to Democrat policies, and no one is

571
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: saying this out loud. Again, I say to Republicans, if

572
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: you are running, do not make the mistake of running

573
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: on issues that people will not care about. Tell them

574
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: the truth about your opponent, Tell them the truth.

575
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: These are simple issues.

576
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 3: It comes down to your personal security in your community,

577
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 3: your kids security, your family security, your financial security, your

578
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: energy security. That's really what is at stake here. And

579
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: elections have consequences. So when you elect someone like a

580
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 3: Hillary Scolton or someone like a Gretchen Whitmer, there are

581
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 3: consequences to that, and we're seeing those consequences play out,

582
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: and so then the question is, well, are people organized,

583
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 3: are people motivated to make change? That's what you know

584
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: remains to be seen. But there could not be a

585
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: clearer contrast between visions of personal empowerment, relying on individuals

586
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 3: and businesses to improve our economies, improve our communities, or

587
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 3: this sort of top down big government. We're going to

588
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 3: tax you, we're going to spend you because we were

589
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: going to spend your money because we know what's the best,

590
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 3: we know what sort of energy you need, we know

591
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: where that should go. That's the philosophy that's at stake.

592
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: But they're crying now because before the Midwestern or Dot News,

593
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: there was no one out there that was going to

594
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: point out what they were doing. I mean, they had

595
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: this state of Michigan locked up. The media was in

596
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: their back pocket. They were never going to report anything

597
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: negative they were. People would never have known about Koshin.

598
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: No one would even know oh about Ruby Garcia. No

599
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: one would know these things unless it were for the Midwesterner.

600
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: So Kyle Olsen, we appreciate what you do. He is

601
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: the founder of the Midwesterner. Make sure you check it out.

602
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: Give them support because he is the one exposing the truth.

603
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: And like I said, in these upcoming elections, just tell

604
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: the truth on your opponent and that's what's going to

605
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: make people go, Okay, we're awake now, we're not going

606
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: to let this happen. And we appreciate you because you

607
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: do that every day with the Midwesterner. Thank you, thank you,

608
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,279
