In this episode, Tudor and Kyle Olson discuss a clip of Tom Bratton, a representative for Elissa Slotkin in Northern Michigan, making derogatory comments about Republicans. They analyze the significance of his statements in a traditionally Republican area and how it contradicts Slotkin's image as a bipartisan candidate. They also highlight the use of trackers in political campaigns and the story of Slotkin threatening a tracker who asked her about joining the Medicare for All caucus. The conversation concludes with a discussion about Slotkin signing an NDA to keep information about a Chinese company secret from Michigan taxpayers.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. We are doing another
quick weekend episode and we're going to talk about what
we're calling the clip of the week, and that is
coming out of the lovely state of Michigan, where Alissa
Slotkin apparently had someone campaigning for her. His name is
I think it's like he's a brat something, Tom Bratt
(00:22):
something Bratton. Is that what it is? I've got Kyle
Olsen from The Midwesterner here with me to chat about it.
Is it Tom Bratton?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yes, yeah, he is. He is her representative in northern Michigan,
which is traditionally a very Republican part of the state,
and he was making it an appearance and he said
some choice things about Republicans.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So listen to this so you you guys can listen
to it for yourselves. Here it is, I know a
lot of the nonsense, you know what, To be honest,
I grew up in a Republican family. I and probably
a lot of people in this area grew up in
hands by its.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, yeah, right right exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Grove in a time warned the Republican Party it might
have been hell for you. You know, it's sick right now,
they've got a they've got a cult leader, and uh,
I was happy not to be part of a cult.
So right now with demon Craig parties holding a Democracy banner,
and that's that's pretty cool. So he I think this
(01:32):
is Alyssa Slotkin's basket of Deplorable's moment because she's got
a guy in northern Michigan where it's like truly Trump country.
I mean, Jesse, if you were there, you would be right.
It's Trump country up there, and he calls Trump, he
calls Republicans sick, and he says they're followed, they're in
a cult, and they're following a cult test right.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And what's significant, I think beyond what he the crazy
things that he says, is that this is in twenty sixteen,
Missake County where he made this statement, was literally the
most Republican voting county in the state. Seventy four percent
of the people there voted for Donald Trump. And then
(02:14):
in twenty twenty, where a lot of things were closer
than they were in twenty sixteen or not as good
as they were in twenty sixteen, he actually increased his
vote to seventy six percent. So this idea that this
guy's going to go to Missak County and he's going
to ridicule the Republicans as sick and a cult and
(02:36):
that Donald Trump is a cult leader. I'm just thinking,
is not going to go over very well. But in
addition to that, I think one of the significant things
here is that Alyssa Slotkin has sort of she's postured
as bipartisan, as moderate, as a centrist, and yet this
is the sort of statement that's coming out of her campaign,
and it sort of seems like it's just sort of
(02:59):
flying in the face of that.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Because they hate anybody who is a Republican right now,
and if you have anything to do with Trump, they
absolutely hate you. And let's be honest, people can try
to distance themselves from Trump. He is the Republican Party's
nominee for president. If you are a Republican, you sure
as heck better be supporting Donald Trump. And so if
(03:22):
you are an independent and you are considering what's going
on between the two parties, and you look at the
Democrats right now, and you go, man, they've got him
in court, They're doing all these horrible things to him.
We've got this illegal alien problem. And in northern Michigan,
we have a sex trafficking problem that is connected to
the illegal alien problem. And she's got somebody up there
(03:43):
talking to people in the most one of the reddest
areas of the state of Michigan, and she's they're trashing Republicans.
I mean, how tone deaf are these people? And will
this stuff matter when it comes to election day?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, I think it goes to show she again, she
can posture as a centrist or a moderate or a bipartisan.
She wants to work with people. But if this is
what they're saying when they think the cameras aren't on,
I think it just it shows their hypocrisy and it
shows what they really believe.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So so let me get to that, because you said
when they think the cameras aren't on, and just so
for people who are listening or watching this, this guy
is on camera. And so when you're campaigning, a lot
of people may not know this. If you are a candidate,
the other side generally sends what they call a tracker
to track you, essentially, and they follow you around and
(04:36):
they take videos of you, and they yell things out
and they try to get you to say crazy things
to them and respond to their attacks. They are essentially
attacking you. It's like this what do you call it
ambush journalism where they go in and they sit down
and they try to get you on film so that
they can release something crazy that you said. And so
this guy was likely tracking Tom Bratton and caught him
(04:59):
saying this. And the fact of the matter is the
reason people do this is because that's how you really feel.
If you're willing to go to your constituents and say, hey, this,
we hate Republicans. We think they are sick. I mean,
the guy even goes, yeah, my family used to be Republicans.
It's like, thank goodness I didn't get on that train.
I mean, essentially, that's what he's saying. He's thanking his
(05:21):
lucky stars that he didn't get converted into this by
his own family. How he's willing to trash his own family.
That's how sick these democrats are. But the thing that
I think is beautiful about the whole Tracker situation is that, Kyle,
after you posted this, I have to pull this up
because I think it's so funny. After you posted this,
we started to get these people that were like, oh
(05:43):
my gosh, you've got to see how bad Alyssa Slotkin
really is so Alissa slot Can. Apparently when she was
campaigning for Congress, she had a tracker and so in
this article that is on the Spectator, they come out
and they say, so she's on video. This tracker gets
her on video, and in the video it says Slotkin
(06:04):
is seen leaving a political form in July of twenty eighteen,
as the tracker asks her whether she plans to join
the Medicare for All Caucus. When Slotkin finally gets to
her car, she looks pointedly into the camera and says,
how are Sloane and Leroy? The tracker's like totally shocked, right,
The tracker goes, how do you know my dog's names?
(06:27):
Slotkin just closes the door. So this guy's totally freaked out,
trying to figure out is this from somebody he just
started dating? How did he start dating someone who was
actually on her team? And then he's like, you have
to remember this is someone who is Xcia. Slockin is Xcia.
She makes this comment, how twisted is it to take
(06:49):
your power? And some young guy, while we don't know
how well he is, but I assume most of these
trackers are young kids. Is following you around asking you questions,
and you're so threatened by this kid. You researched him
and then you literally threatened him on the campaign trail.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Right, It's it's crazy. And these trackers, you know a
lot of them, they're not real experience, and so they
kind of fumble through it and they ask these questions
and they don't you know, most of the time they
don't really get anything. But the fact that she knew
this guy's dogs names, that's chilling.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And I mean and their kids, their kids, Like, we
had a tracker, and I don't. I think I would
probably be in the opposite category of Alyssa Slotkin because
we befriended our tracker, even though he didn't really want
to be our friend, but we like got to know him.
We're like, oh, you're with these people every day. Everywhere
you go, this person is there. So instead of thinking
(07:46):
like I'm going to just brutalize this kid and be
mean to him, found out we actually grew up in
the same hometown, Like we knew a lot of the
same things. He wasn't a very good tracker. After that,
he didn't do a lot of bad things to us.
But instead of befriending this kid, she threatened him.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, I think it's a story that's not gotten a
lot of attention, but it goes to I think, sort
of her character and that she's willing to do anything
to win. And so I think that's indicative or it indicates,
you know, what could be coming for whoever the Republican
candidate is, or whoever you know, whether it's the Midwesterner
(08:26):
or whoever is willing to you know, stand up to
her and expose her record. These might be the things
that are coming, and you know, so be it. But
I think what it really is exposing is that she
is a partisan Democrat. She's not a centrist. She's not moderate.
She's not She tries to be bipartisan, but she's not.
(08:49):
And this video clip demonstrates that. The story about the
tracker demonstrates that.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So they hate, just to recap, they hate Republicans. They
think that we're all in a and they think that
we're sick. She also is someone who threatens people on
the campaign trail. Like I said, likely a young person.
I don't know how old this guy was, but the
trackers are generally pretty young. So think about your eighteen
year old going around and trying to get involved in
the political process, and the XCIA candidate threatens their dogs.
(09:20):
I mean, this is like horse than the horsehead and
the bed kind of stuff. That's how sick this woman is.
And let us not forget this is also the woman
that signed inn NDA so information couldn't come out about
the CCP operation here in Green Township, the supposed battery
factory that's coming in with connections to the CCP. And
(09:41):
again Xcia, who knows what her connection is to China?
Who knows what that actually means that she's willing to
cover up for China, But for all I know, she's
swallwell and she's hooking up with some chick or dude
from China as well. Who knows.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
That's possible, That is possible, but she it is.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I mean, I want to gender anybody, but it's.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
A it's a good point. I think that she signed
an NDA to keep this Chinese company's secrets and not
disclose them to Michigan taxpayers, and she's the media has
sort of let her skate on that. But it can't
be said enough that what she did was she signed
a non disclosure agreement to learn about the company, and
(10:27):
when you sign the NDA, you promise to keep the
company's secrets and not disclose what the company's going to do,
what it's going to do with the property, what it's
going to do with the money, how it conducts this business.
She signed away her ability to tell the Michigan taxpayers
(10:49):
that information.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yep, absolutely well. Kyle Olsen from The Midwesterner, thank you
for joining me for this quick minute so that we
could update all of you out there on Alyssa's locke. Hey, Alyssa,
consider yourself exposed. You're on our radar. We will be
coming back to you and making sure everybody knows the
truth about you and your guys that are out there
on the road calling us sick and cult members. Alyssa Slotkin,
