In this episode, Tudor and Marc Lotter focus on the lack of policy discussion at the Democratic National Convention and the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party. They discuss how the DNC is running on vibes and joy instead of addressing important issues such as gas and grocery prices, border security, and the wars in the Middle East and Europe. They criticize the Democratic speakers, including Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris, for their comments on generational wealth while ignoring their own privileged backgrounds. They also highlight the contrast between the strength and leadership projected by Donald Trump and the weakness of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. We have a big
week of I don't know, maybe a whole lot of nothing.
We've seen a lot of partying, We've seen a lot
of speeches very late at night, but we're not getting
a whole lot of what Democrats are going to do
for the country in this DNC convention week. So I
thought I needed to bring in the professionals, and I
(00:22):
brought in Mark Lauder. He is a former special assistant
to President Trump in the White House as well as
the former director of Strategic Communications on Trump's twenty twenty campaign,
So he knows a little bit about talking about your policy.
But Mark, we are not hearing anything about policy from
the Democrats, are we No.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Look, this entire campaign and convention by Kamala Harris is
like Seinfeld.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It's a show about nothing, totally.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, literally, they are trying to run on vibes and
joy and that's not going to lower people's gas and
grocery prices. It's not going to secure the border, it's
not going to deal with the wars going on in
the Middle East and Europe. And I think that's why
we're starting to see the poles fall for Kamala Harris
and go back toward Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, because I think everybody sees this as being completely
phony and not being about the people we've heard. It's
interesting because you have Michelle Obama who spoke, and she
came out and she made this comment about generational wealth
and that people that look like her don't get generational
wealth and they don't get to make mistakes, and they
don't get to change the rules and whine when they
(01:29):
don't get what they want. And I thought, what are
you talking about. You literally changed the entire rules to
have this convention, to put Kamala Harris in this position
after whining for a month about how your candidate was
a mess.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
And on top of that, which one of her four mansions,
including the Martha's Vineyard estate, did she come from to
tell people about the lack of generational wealth and how
you can't change the rules. No, this is the hypocrisy
of the Democrat Party. They will say and do anything
to keep their grip on power. And for all of
(02:08):
their bemoaning about Donald Trump and what's going on and
their plan for the future, they don't tell you that
they've been in office for three and a half years
They've held the White House for twelve out of the
last sixteen years, and somehow everything is Donald Trump's fault,
and yet Kamala Harris Joe Biden are the ones who
(02:29):
created this mess. I just don't think the American people
are going to hire them.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
To fix it.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, and if we pick back a little bit of
let's look at the speakers that they have there. They've
already had JD. Prisker speak and he talked about Donald
Trump and he said he was a poor businessman and
he didn't do the right things. And this was coming
from a true billionaire. Wait wait, wait, his grandfather was
a billionaire. He inherited. Oh wait, it seems as though
(02:56):
there may have been a little bit of generational wealth
going on there, but he inherited and then used to
essentially buy his position as the governor of Illinois. And
then you look at Gretchen Whitmer. She will also speak
another person with generational wealth. Her father was the CEO
of Blue Cross Blue Shield, and not only was it
that she had wealth from him, but also his connections
(03:20):
are what got her to the position that she is
in today. These are not people that pulled themselves up
by their bootstraps like JD. Vance, And yet they're going
out there pretending that they are something there absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Now they're attacking JD.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Vance from rising up from poor background in Ohio to
go to Yale. Isn't that what we're supposed to be
aspiring for for everyone of all age and income and
backgrounds to be able to go and achieve the highest heights,
not only from an educational standpoint, but then take that
toward public service. But then contrast those messages. You know
(03:56):
who was right before Pritzker, Bernie Sanders, who was moaning
billionaires AOC the night before, who was complaining about how
people can't afford groceries and gas, but not admitting, oh
wait a minute, it's our fault people can't afford grocery
and gas. I mean they will literally say and do anything, and.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You know, look, the Obamas give great speeches and no
one's gonna argue that point.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
But hope and joy is not going to change the narrative.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Hope and joy is not going to make people's lives
more affordable, safer, or the world more secure. And I
do think that at the end of the day, once
this sugar high honeymoon with Kamala Harris starts to wear off.
I mean, her first tiptoe into policy last week, got
white on the economy, got widely panned by the Washington
(04:49):
Post editorial board, CNN, and Barack Obama's former top economic guy.
They called it gimmicks and a joke. That's what that
campaign is.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Well, and she came out and she plagiarized Donald Trump's
no tax on tips, and then just as quickly she
backtracked on that and said that's not going to be
the case. The American people are still going, who are you?
What do you stand for? You came out and you
dropped one line of policy and then immediately revoked it.
Where are what are you going to do for the
(05:21):
people of this country? What are you going to do
for safety?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And that's actually that's a funny thing because Donald Trump
came to Michigan this week and talked about safety. He
went to Livingston County. He was sat there with our sheriffs.
They talked about the importance of fighting crime, and the
media in the state of Michigan went, oh, this is ridiculous.
Crime is down. He can't talk about crime. We just
(05:44):
had the largest mass shooting in Michigan's history a month ago,
and he's not allowed for some reason. They've said he
is not allowed to come and talk about reducing crime.
Is there a certain level that we just accept at
this point? Mark, Why are we not allowed to talk
about crime?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Well, they don't want us to talk about things that
make them look bad. And when you look at the
fact that those sheriffs, when you look at the fact
that the Kenosha Police, the Milwaukee Police, they're all endorsing
Donald Trump and JD.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And there's a reason for that because Donald Trump, JD. Vance,
the America First Movement stand for law and order and
stand with our police. It was Kamala Harris that was
out there chanting about defund the police and reprioritizing our police.
She was the one that was raising money to let
the rioters, arsonists, and looters out of jail following the
(06:38):
BLM riots in twenty twenty. Some of them went on
to be accused and convicted.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Of rape and murder. She was out there asking them
to get out of jail.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
She was the one that says we shouldn't have cash bail,
which puts more violent offenders on the street and you
want to know, we just got a little glimpse of
what they actually stand for.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
They approved their platform on Monday.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Part of the Democrat Party platform is support for this
bill called the.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
USA Citizenship Act.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Sounds, of course amazing and great, but when you actually
look at the details, Tutor, it's going to make the
federal government go find and pay to find every illegal
immigrant deported by Donald Trump and bring them back to
the United States at taxpayer expense so they can be
given amnesty.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
It will also require that you can't deport.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Criminals felons from the United States who are in our
country illegally. That's what the Democrat Party and Kamala Harris
stand for. So I'm not going to take it or
hear about crime about when they talk about crime.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Right, Yeah, that's why they do not want us to
talk about that and think about this. Under Donald Trump,
we had the most minority entrepreneurs get into the game
than we've ever seen in the history of the United States.
More minorities started their own businesses under Donald Trump than
in any other time. Kamala Harris cheered on white rioters
(08:05):
that went and burned down minority owned businesses. This is
the difference. It's a stark difference.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
It's really remarkable.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
But I think that's one of the big reasons why
you see such a shift by members of the black community,
in Hispanic and Latino community, minorities that have been traditional
Democrat voting blocks are now suddenly coming to Donald Trump
because they realized not only were things more affordable back then,
but also there were better jobs. Then their paychecks went further.
(08:34):
Then they know who has their back. And Donald Trump
got eight percent of the Black vote in twenty twenty.
Some of the polling before Joe Biden dropped out had
him at twenty twenty five percent. I think it's come
down to a little bit, probably about fifteen or so percent.
But even then, in an election that was decided by
forty three thousand votes in three states, you move two
(08:59):
three four percent of the Black vote, two three four
percent of the Hispanic and Latino vote, maybe five ten
percent of the suburban women vote because they don't like
the fact they can't afford gas, groceries, schools were locked down,
all the things that the Democrats do. That's a landslide,
and that's why Kamala Harris is still five to six
(09:21):
points back of where Joe Biden was at this point
in twenty twenty, both nationally and in the battleground states.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That equals a blowout if.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
We all do our job and make sure our voices
are heard.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I think people were done with
the identity politics, and I think that was the big
mistake here on the Democrat side, as they figure, well,
we'll just put a woman in there, and we'll put
a minority in there, and then people will come out
and say, Okay, this is I want this type of change.
(09:57):
But these are the people who have ignored these communities.
They've ignored women, they've ignored minorities, and you've got people
coming out today saying I don't actually want this person
representing me. And I feel that way as a woman.
I look at her and I'm like, she's been, she's been.
(10:17):
I mean, she comes off as very unintelligent on the
world stage. And I'm not questioning her intelligence, but I
think that she comes off as though she doesn't know
how to have a serious conversation, and I don't trust
that she can sit down with world leaders. I think
when we look at crime in the United States, and
we look at the situation that we're in with pricing
(10:39):
and the economy and all of that. That is one thing.
But when I think about her and her funny videos
and you know, sitting down and talking about tacos with
Governor Walls and giggling about smoking weed and all of
these things, I think this is not someone She's trying
to win people over with this giggle and the this
(11:01):
I don't know. I guess she believes that this is charming.
We don't need charming in the White House. And I
think that's the confusion. People are like, oh, Donald Trump
is not charming. You know, do you want someone to
go charm Putin or do you want someone to keep
Putin in line.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
We'll take a look at our presidents over the last
say forty or so years, the American people, regardless of
whether I agreed with their politics or their decisions, we
have generally elected strong presidents, people who portray the strength
of not only US as a people, but US as
a nation on the world stage. The two most unpopular
(11:39):
presidents in modern recent history, Jimmy Carter Joe Biden, are
the two weakest of the presidents whether it was Barack Obama. Again,
regardless of whether you agreed with him or not, he
projected strengths. George W. George HW, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan,
of course, all projected the strength of the American spirit,
(12:01):
the strength of the American people, and the strength of
America's military might in face of our enemies. Kamala Harris
described the Ukraine conflict as a small country next to
a big country named Russia. She can't even handle an
interview with a concerning or maybe a real press corps.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
How do you think.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
She's going to handle tough questioning or tough negotiations with
Jijing Ping or Vladimir Putin or Kim Jung un. Those
are the kinds of people we need. You know where
Donald Trump stands. You may not always like his tweets,
but you know he's strong. You know he has America's
interests at heart, and he'll sit down and negotiate with you,
(12:43):
and it's probably not going to come out very well
for you on the other.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Side of it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
One of the things I noticed is that the media
tends to if you look at every other race, they'll
pick apart policy. They don't go after Donald Trump's policy.
You will rarely hear them say if he does this,
I mean a little bit on the tips of where
will the money come from? But they rarely pick apart
his policy. They twist his words. Even when he was
(13:08):
in Michigan. They're like, oh, there was, you know, a
white supremacist rally in this town, and you chose to
come to this town. What do you have to say
about that?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
He said?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Who was in this town in twenty twenty one, Joe Biden?
And the media afterward is like, he wouldn't condemn white supremacy.
Give me a break. Stop. You have nothing to attack
this man on. You have nothing to attack on his policies.
You cannot go back to his time in office and
pick it apart because there is nothing to pick apart.
(13:41):
He did things for people that no one, no president designed.
I mean, look at historically black colleges and universities. Theyceived
historic funding and permanent funding from Donald Trump, not Barack Obama,
from Donald Trump. And that's something that the media wants
to cover up. I don't want to talk about this.
They have to come up with these falsities to create
(14:04):
a guy who they think is unelectable.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Well, and then when they do talk about his policies,
they lie about them. You know, they buy the myth
that the Trump tax cuts were for the wealthy. When
the top one percent, and here's a fact most people
don't know, the top one percent paid forty one percent
of the nation's tax revenue prior to the Trump tax cuts.
Top one percent paid forty one percent. After the tax cuts,
(14:30):
they paid forty six percent. Most of those savings went
to people in the middle class, the lower class.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And to businesses and to small businesses.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Who, by the way, are the ones who hire, invest
and pay your paycheck. And when Kamala Harris talks about
raising the corporate tax rate, which sounds great on a
bumper sticker, think about it for a second. If big
companies have less money to spend, that means people aren't
getting more jobs, people aren't getting raises, people aren't going
(15:02):
to have a bigger share of their health insurance paid
for by their employer, which means it's going to fall
on them.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
When you take.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Money out of the job creators' hands, they don't create jobs,
and it's.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Not just jobs that they create. We spoke to a
gentleman earlier this week who is in farming, and he
was talking about R and D and how these universities
and corporations have always been reinvested back into research and development,
and that's why America has been the innovator that it
has been over the years, always number one in innovation,
(15:37):
and innovation is dropping off. Well, what happens when innovation
drops off and we aren't researching and developing. We're going
to look at a challenge with food security, but we're
also going to look at a challenge with keeping businesses afloat,
because if businesses are constantly reinventing, no one in business says,
I make one product and that's all I'm going to
ever do, and I will never try to improve. I'll
(15:58):
never try to do anything. I mean, gosh, we have
the iPhone, we have a different you know, look at
how your vehicle is now from compared to twenty years ago.
Your vehicle has cameras all around it, you have fewer accidents,
that you're safer on the road. Innovation drives more job creation,
and innovation comes from companies that take their profits and
(16:19):
reinvest in research and development. And that is not going
to happen under communist rule, which is really if you
look at this, that's where we're going. You cannot make money.
They don't want you to make money. They don't want
you to come out of poverty either. The fact that
they are making fun of Jade Vance and saying he
abandoned his roots. How dare they try to take away
(16:41):
the American dream and say it's okay to have this conversation?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
No, I mean it's really remarkable.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
And trust me and you and I both know this
so well to it or if we don't do it,
China will.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yes, and China poses a.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Threat to us like no other nation that we have
ever faced, our adversary in our history. I mean, nobody
bought things from the Soviet Union, nobody bought things from
the Axis Powers pre World War Two. They were military adversaries.
China is an economic and a military adversary. You can't
get a tail and all without the component or the
(17:16):
parts coming from China. They hold a power over us
that no adversary has, and they are not done. So
we have to take them seriously. Into your other point
about food security, everybody always loves to ask me, well,
what would Donald Trump do to.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Lower grocery prices?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Well, first off, American energy because whether it comes from
the farm to the factory, from the warehouse all the
way down to your.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
House, it requires energy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It requires fuel, gas, diesel, electric, and all of those
higher costs are being passed on to you in the
grocery store, in the Walmart supercenters. And so if we
can bring American energy back, not only do we lower
our prices at the pump, not only do we lower
our sky high utility bills, we lower the price for
(18:03):
everything else.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
And that is one of the most.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Important, easiest and fastest things that we can and should
do in the next America First administration.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I think that's what people don't necessarily understand if you
haven't been in manufacturing or production of some sort, that
the fuel surcharge you're getting now is intense and that
is costing a lot of money. And so because like
you said, everything that you use, I mean, even in
many cases if it is energy, energy is moved and
trucks and in some cases, but all your food, all
(18:36):
your products, everything, I mean just think about for most
of you, how many Amazon packages you get every week
that is all moved by gas powered vehicles. And they
can say they're going to be making electric trucks, but
ultimately those are going to have to come from natural
gas that's going to power those electric trucks. I mean,
it's all so crazy. And this whole green New deal,
(18:58):
this is just lobbyists who have figured out they can
make money on a new product. Again, this is a
new product, and it is not a product that works.
No one is arguing that we could come up with
different ways of producing energy. But when a certain way
is not the way, when it fails, when it's not
doing what they said it was going to do, then
we should not continue to invest in it. But the
(19:20):
fact of the matter is that they have their money
and their investments, These bureaucrats and elected officials, they are
bought by these lobbyists who say this is the answer.
I don't know if you've seen what's happening on the
East Coast right now with these windmills that are going in.
But this to me is crazy. They're yelling at Donald
(19:40):
Trump for offshore drilling. They are offshore drilling every single day,
pounding into our oceans every single day, destroying the wildlife.
They're destroying our oceans right off our East coast. You
look out there, it looks like a city. There's so
many lights. They are destroying our environment by pretending they're
saving them environment, and no one is saying anything about it.
(20:02):
And it makes me sick.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
And when you add to the fact that you know,
I remember Joe Biden the other night at the in
Chicago was bragging about his you know, creation of fifty
five thousand new electric vehicle charging stations. He spent eight
billion dollars and he's got eight eight of them. So
eight billion dollars eight electric charging stations. Thank you, Joe
(20:24):
Biden and Kamala Harris. That's the kind of leadership the
government waste that we have seen. Look what Elon Musk
has done. And look, if you want an electric vehicle,
you do you you know, that's fine. It works for
some people, doesn't work for others, and we should have
that choice as consumers. And as the technology gets better,
I'm sure that there will be more and more of them,
(20:45):
but it's not there right now. And Elon Musk he's
doing it. It's not the government forcing him to do it.
He's innovating and doing it. And that's the kind of leadership.
It's kind of the business common sense we need in
the White House even on energy that it doesn't have
to be one or the other right now, it needs
to be all the above, and when other new forms
(21:08):
of energy production, storage transmission are ready, then the market
will drive that innovation, not the federal government.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Even Elon Musk understands that his
product is an elite product. It is for people who
can afford something more expensive than the average vehicle. But
also you have to have a home because you're not
dangling an electric cord out of your apartment window. He
(21:39):
understands that you have to be able to be in
a certain tax bracket to be able to pay for
his product. He knows that this is not for the
entire public. In fact, it's bizarre to me because you
have Harris right now who's saying we are going to
as the government build housing. Every time I hear that
the government is going to build housing, I think this
is scary. Times. We should have enough and enough business
(22:03):
building in our communities that the people are paying to
build their own houses, because they're getting paid enough to
build their own houses. But she wants to have the
government build housing. We know what government housing is, it's
apartment buildings. How are you going to force these people
that you're going to build housing for to have an
electric vehicle when the housing you're building does not. It
(22:24):
doesn't give anybody the ability to have an electric vehicle.
It's so none of it makes sense. It's like clown world.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Well, this just shows you how radical Kamala Harris actually is.
I mean, let's not forget comrade Bernie Sanders, who took
his honeymoon in the Soviet Union back in the day.
He praises Fidel Castro and Cuba's housing.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Beijing.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Tim Walls, who married on Tieneman Square Day so he
could remember it and took his honeymoon in Beijing, praises
the housing and praises the communist Chinese government. These are
the people she surrounds herself with. This is what she
actually believes.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
And what really drives me crazy is do we have
a housing shortage? Yes, we do.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
No one's going to argue that that's bipartisan. Then why
on earth do you allow twelve million illegal immigrants into
our country who need housing. That's just going to drive
up rent drive up home prices, drive up the prices
that regular Americans can afford, because you've imported twelve million
illegals who are now competing for scarce resources. Just shows
(23:30):
you once again she doesn't even understand economics one oh one.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
And when you look at these people like Walls, who
are romanced by how the Chinese government operates. Just remember
iPhone City was built to simply build iPhones, and it
is housing that went up overnight and houses hundreds of
thousands of people. And they're trapped there. They're trapped there.
I think they get like two weeks off a year.
(23:55):
Outside of that, there's cafeterias that they have to eat at,
they live in. It's like a dorm tory style living.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Like this.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
This is how their communities are living. It's almost like slavery,
to be honest. And these are the people that are
informing Kamala Harris. That's pretty scary.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
It should be scary to everyone, you know. And what's
even scarier. I don't know if you saw this, Tutor,
but just yesterday the Department of Homeland Security is inspector
General Issue to report. And remember all the hubbub about
five hundred and eighty five missing children from the Trump
years who were illegal immigrants. The IG report actually shows
that there were three hundred and twenty thousand children that
(24:38):
Biden and Harris have lost track of illegal immigrants, many
of whom I have no doubt were sold into sex
slavery and or forced work slavery, which is modern day
And this is the This is the woman who dares
to say that they care about women and children when
you can't find three hundred and twenty thousand, and yet
(25:00):
you wailed and screamed and went to the border and
tried to demand change because of five hundred and eighty
five under Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
And nobody likes to talk about the fact that there
is slavery in the United States and it's becoming more
and more prevalent under the Binded administration. That is hiding
these kids. They're not even looking for them. That's the
problem they've come across, and they've just said, Okay, keep
them going, keep the line of children coming in because
the work is there, and these cartels own them. They
(25:30):
own children inside of our country who are doing sex
work and doing slavery, doing hard work, hard labor work.
People don't believe that this is happening, and no one's
talking about it. It shocks me.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
And you know, for everyone who's who's out there who
really cares about these children. There is a term I've
heard that I cannot get out of my head, and
it's so horrific.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
It's called child recycling.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
And literally, these cartels will take children and they will
attach them to someone who's not their relative and send
them across the border. Because if you come across our
southern border with a child, you are treated differently than
when you are not coming across the border with a child,
and that child is abused and sexually assaulted throughout this
entire journey, and as soon as that adult gets over
(26:16):
the border and into one of our communities, the child
is sent back on the other side of the border
so they can be recycled to someone else and sent
back across the border again, child recycling. And that is
something that we should talk about and we should put
a stop to.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
It is true the invasion at the border.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
The drug cartels that are running our southern border are
basically in cahoot with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
And that's why the border bill was no good because
it would allow this to continue. It would allow a
certain number of people to continue to pour over the
border every day, and that means the cartel's operation, that
is a hundreds of millions of dollars a year operation
would continue and legally continue because then it's enshrined in
law that you can allow thousands of people across the
(27:05):
border every day. That's bloney. If you care about people,
you would never sign that bill.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
And it's also a complete lie that Donald Trump killed
that bill. By the way, I'll correct that. During my
day job, I work at the America First Policy Institute
and work alongside some of the brightest and best minds
in immigration and border security from the Trump administration. Our
group came out against that bill a month before Donald
(27:31):
Trump came out against it. Speaker Johnson said it was
dead on arrival, well before Donald Trump said it. And
by the way, there was bipartisan opposition to that bill,
not just bipartisan support because of the reasons you identified.
It is an absolute fake news oaks that Donald Trump
killed that.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Bill, of course, but they have nothing else. And how
I just think it's kind of ironic that as president
you could come out and say a former president has
more control over government right now than me. What an
embarrassment to say that I couldn't get it done because
Donald Trump said not to do it. It's just I'm
a kid. I have arguments like this with my children,
not with adults.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
And then they went ahead and tried to do some
of it via executive order, even though they said they couldn't.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Do it exactly well exactly, And that was the whole
question the entire time. Why are you getting rid of
these executive orders that are protecting us? Oh wait, I'm
actually going to put those back in now. I mean,
like I said, my kids have more logic than what
I've seen out of Washington lately. But you know this,
you deal with it every day, and we appreciate you.
We appreciate what you do, and I appreciate you coming
on today.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Oh thanks for having me, Tutor.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Absolutely Mark Lotard come back, help us out, make sure
we can figure all this out and get the truth
out there.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
We'll do anytime.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Thank you, Thank you all for being here on the
Tutor Dixon Podcast. For this episode and others, go to

time on the Tutor Dixon Podcast, Have a bless stank
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. We have a big
week of I don't know, maybe a whole lot of nothing.
We've seen a lot of partying, We've seen a lot
of speeches very late at night, but we're not getting
a whole lot of what Democrats are going to do
for the country in this DNC convention week. So I
thought I needed to bring in the professionals, and I
(00:22):
brought in Mark Lauder. He is a former special assistant
to President Trump in the White House as well as
the former director of Strategic Communications on Trump's twenty twenty campaign,
So he knows a little bit about talking about your policy.
But Mark, we are not hearing anything about policy from
the Democrats, are we No.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Look, this entire campaign and convention by Kamala Harris is
like Seinfeld.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It's a show about nothing, totally.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, literally, they are trying to run on vibes and
joy and that's not going to lower people's gas and
grocery prices. It's not going to secure the border, it's
not going to deal with the wars going on in
the Middle East and Europe. And I think that's why
we're starting to see the poles fall for Kamala Harris
and go back toward Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, because I think everybody sees this as being completely
phony and not being about the people we've heard. It's
interesting because you have Michelle Obama who spoke, and she
came out and she made this comment about generational wealth
and that people that look like her don't get generational
wealth and they don't get to make mistakes, and they
don't get to change the rules and whine when they
(01:29):
don't get what they want. And I thought, what are
you talking about. You literally changed the entire rules to
have this convention, to put Kamala Harris in this position
after whining for a month about how your candidate was
a mess.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
And on top of that, which one of her four mansions,
including the Martha's Vineyard estate, did she come from to
tell people about the lack of generational wealth and how
you can't change the rules. No, this is the hypocrisy
of the Democrat Party. They will say and do anything
to keep their grip on power. And for all of
(02:08):
their bemoaning about Donald Trump and what's going on and
their plan for the future, they don't tell you that
they've been in office for three and a half years
They've held the White House for twelve out of the
last sixteen years, and somehow everything is Donald Trump's fault,
and yet Kamala Harris Joe Biden are the ones who
(02:29):
created this mess. I just don't think the American people
are going to hire them.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
To fix it.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, and if we pick back a little bit of
let's look at the speakers that they have there. They've
already had JD. Prisker speak and he talked about Donald
Trump and he said he was a poor businessman and
he didn't do the right things. And this was coming
from a true billionaire. Wait wait, wait, his grandfather was
a billionaire. He inherited. Oh wait, it seems as though
(02:56):
there may have been a little bit of generational wealth
going on there, but he inherited and then used to
essentially buy his position as the governor of Illinois. And
then you look at Gretchen Whitmer. She will also speak
another person with generational wealth. Her father was the CEO
of Blue Cross Blue Shield, and not only was it
that she had wealth from him, but also his connections
(03:20):
are what got her to the position that she is
in today. These are not people that pulled themselves up
by their bootstraps like JD. Vance, And yet they're going
out there pretending that they are something there absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Now they're attacking JD.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Vance from rising up from poor background in Ohio to
go to Yale. Isn't that what we're supposed to be
aspiring for for everyone of all age and income and
backgrounds to be able to go and achieve the highest heights,
not only from an educational standpoint, but then take that
toward public service. But then contrast those messages. You know
(03:56):
who was right before Pritzker, Bernie Sanders, who was moaning
billionaires AOC the night before, who was complaining about how
people can't afford groceries and gas, but not admitting, oh
wait a minute, it's our fault people can't afford grocery
and gas. I mean they will literally say and do anything, and.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You know, look, the Obamas give great speeches and no
one's gonna argue that point.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
But hope and joy is not going to change the narrative.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Hope and joy is not going to make people's lives
more affordable, safer, or the world more secure. And I
do think that at the end of the day, once
this sugar high honeymoon with Kamala Harris starts to wear off.
I mean, her first tiptoe into policy last week, got
white on the economy, got widely panned by the Washington
(04:49):
Post editorial board, CNN, and Barack Obama's former top economic guy.
They called it gimmicks and a joke. That's what that
campaign is.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Well, and she came out and she plagiarized Donald Trump's
no tax on tips, and then just as quickly she
backtracked on that and said that's not going to be
the case. The American people are still going, who are you?
What do you stand for? You came out and you
dropped one line of policy and then immediately revoked it.
Where are what are you going to do for the
(05:21):
people of this country? What are you going to do
for safety?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And that's actually that's a funny thing because Donald Trump
came to Michigan this week and talked about safety. He
went to Livingston County. He was sat there with our sheriffs.
They talked about the importance of fighting crime, and the
media in the state of Michigan went, oh, this is ridiculous.
Crime is down. He can't talk about crime. We just
(05:44):
had the largest mass shooting in Michigan's history a month ago,
and he's not allowed for some reason. They've said he
is not allowed to come and talk about reducing crime.
Is there a certain level that we just accept at
this point? Mark, Why are we not allowed to talk
about crime?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Well, they don't want us to talk about things that
make them look bad. And when you look at the
fact that those sheriffs, when you look at the fact
that the Kenosha Police, the Milwaukee Police, they're all endorsing
Donald Trump and JD.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And there's a reason for that because Donald Trump, JD. Vance,
the America First Movement stand for law and order and
stand with our police. It was Kamala Harris that was
out there chanting about defund the police and reprioritizing our police.
She was the one that was raising money to let
the rioters, arsonists, and looters out of jail following the
(06:38):
BLM riots in twenty twenty. Some of them went on
to be accused and convicted.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Of rape and murder. She was out there asking them
to get out of jail.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
She was the one that says we shouldn't have cash bail,
which puts more violent offenders on the street and you
want to know, we just got a little glimpse of
what they actually stand for.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
They approved their platform on Monday.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Part of the Democrat Party platform is support for this
bill called the.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
USA Citizenship Act.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Sounds, of course amazing and great, but when you actually
look at the details, Tutor, it's going to make the
federal government go find and pay to find every illegal
immigrant deported by Donald Trump and bring them back to
the United States at taxpayer expense so they can be
given amnesty.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
It will also require that you can't deport.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Criminals felons from the United States who are in our
country illegally. That's what the Democrat Party and Kamala Harris
stand for. So I'm not going to take it or
hear about crime about when they talk about crime.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Right, Yeah, that's why they do not want us to
talk about that and think about this. Under Donald Trump,
we had the most minority entrepreneurs get into the game
than we've ever seen in the history of the United States.
More minorities started their own businesses under Donald Trump than
in any other time. Kamala Harris cheered on white rioters
(08:05):
that went and burned down minority owned businesses. This is
the difference. It's a stark difference.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
It's really remarkable.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
But I think that's one of the big reasons why
you see such a shift by members of the black community,
in Hispanic and Latino community, minorities that have been traditional
Democrat voting blocks are now suddenly coming to Donald Trump
because they realized not only were things more affordable back then,
but also there were better jobs. Then their paychecks went further.
(08:34):
Then they know who has their back. And Donald Trump
got eight percent of the Black vote in twenty twenty.
Some of the polling before Joe Biden dropped out had
him at twenty twenty five percent. I think it's come
down to a little bit, probably about fifteen or so percent.
But even then, in an election that was decided by
forty three thousand votes in three states, you move two
(08:59):
three four percent of the Black vote, two three four
percent of the Hispanic and Latino vote, maybe five ten
percent of the suburban women vote because they don't like
the fact they can't afford gas, groceries, schools were locked down,
all the things that the Democrats do. That's a landslide,
and that's why Kamala Harris is still five to six
(09:21):
points back of where Joe Biden was at this point
in twenty twenty, both nationally and in the battleground states.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That equals a blowout if.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
We all do our job and make sure our voices
are heard.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I think people were done with
the identity politics, and I think that was the big
mistake here on the Democrat side, as they figure, well,
we'll just put a woman in there, and we'll put
a minority in there, and then people will come out
and say, Okay, this is I want this type of change.
(09:57):
But these are the people who have ignored these communities.
They've ignored women, they've ignored minorities, and you've got people
coming out today saying I don't actually want this person
representing me. And I feel that way as a woman.
I look at her and I'm like, she's been, she's been.
(10:17):
I mean, she comes off as very unintelligent on the
world stage. And I'm not questioning her intelligence, but I
think that she comes off as though she doesn't know
how to have a serious conversation, and I don't trust
that she can sit down with world leaders. I think
when we look at crime in the United States, and
we look at the situation that we're in with pricing
(10:39):
and the economy and all of that. That is one thing.
But when I think about her and her funny videos
and you know, sitting down and talking about tacos with
Governor Walls and giggling about smoking weed and all of
these things, I think this is not someone She's trying
to win people over with this giggle and the this
(11:01):
I don't know. I guess she believes that this is charming.
We don't need charming in the White House. And I
think that's the confusion. People are like, oh, Donald Trump
is not charming. You know, do you want someone to
go charm Putin or do you want someone to keep
Putin in line.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
We'll take a look at our presidents over the last
say forty or so years, the American people, regardless of
whether I agreed with their politics or their decisions, we
have generally elected strong presidents, people who portray the strength
of not only US as a people, but US as
a nation on the world stage. The two most unpopular
(11:39):
presidents in modern recent history, Jimmy Carter Joe Biden, are
the two weakest of the presidents whether it was Barack Obama. Again,
regardless of whether you agreed with him or not, he
projected strengths. George W. George HW, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan,
of course, all projected the strength of the American spirit,
(12:01):
the strength of the American people, and the strength of
America's military might in face of our enemies. Kamala Harris
described the Ukraine conflict as a small country next to
a big country named Russia. She can't even handle an
interview with a concerning or maybe a real press corps.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
How do you think.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
She's going to handle tough questioning or tough negotiations with
Jijing Ping or Vladimir Putin or Kim Jung un. Those
are the kinds of people we need. You know where
Donald Trump stands. You may not always like his tweets,
but you know he's strong. You know he has America's
interests at heart, and he'll sit down and negotiate with you,
(12:43):
and it's probably not going to come out very well
for you on the other.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Side of it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
One of the things I noticed is that the media
tends to if you look at every other race, they'll
pick apart policy. They don't go after Donald Trump's policy.
You will rarely hear them say if he does this,
I mean a little bit on the tips of where
will the money come from? But they rarely pick apart
his policy. They twist his words. Even when he was
(13:08):
in Michigan. They're like, oh, there was, you know, a
white supremacist rally in this town, and you chose to
come to this town. What do you have to say
about that?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
He said?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Who was in this town in twenty twenty one, Joe Biden?
And the media afterward is like, he wouldn't condemn white supremacy.
Give me a break. Stop. You have nothing to attack
this man on. You have nothing to attack on his policies.
You cannot go back to his time in office and
pick it apart because there is nothing to pick apart.
(13:41):
He did things for people that no one, no president designed.
I mean, look at historically black colleges and universities. Theyceived
historic funding and permanent funding from Donald Trump, not Barack Obama,
from Donald Trump. And that's something that the media wants
to cover up. I don't want to talk about this.
They have to come up with these falsities to create
(14:04):
a guy who they think is unelectable.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Well, and then when they do talk about his policies,
they lie about them. You know, they buy the myth
that the Trump tax cuts were for the wealthy. When
the top one percent, and here's a fact most people
don't know, the top one percent paid forty one percent
of the nation's tax revenue prior to the Trump tax cuts.
Top one percent paid forty one percent. After the tax cuts,
(14:30):
they paid forty six percent. Most of those savings went
to people in the middle class, the lower class.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And to businesses and to small businesses.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Who, by the way, are the ones who hire, invest
and pay your paycheck. And when Kamala Harris talks about
raising the corporate tax rate, which sounds great on a
bumper sticker, think about it for a second. If big
companies have less money to spend, that means people aren't
getting more jobs, people aren't getting raises, people aren't going
(15:02):
to have a bigger share of their health insurance paid
for by their employer, which means it's going to fall
on them.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
When you take.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Money out of the job creators' hands, they don't create jobs,
and it's.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Not just jobs that they create. We spoke to a
gentleman earlier this week who is in farming, and he
was talking about R and D and how these universities
and corporations have always been reinvested back into research and development,
and that's why America has been the innovator that it
has been over the years, always number one in innovation,
(15:37):
and innovation is dropping off. Well, what happens when innovation
drops off and we aren't researching and developing. We're going
to look at a challenge with food security, but we're
also going to look at a challenge with keeping businesses afloat,
because if businesses are constantly reinventing, no one in business says,
I make one product and that's all I'm going to
ever do, and I will never try to improve. I'll
(15:58):
never try to do anything. I mean, gosh, we have
the iPhone, we have a different you know, look at
how your vehicle is now from compared to twenty years ago.
Your vehicle has cameras all around it, you have fewer accidents,
that you're safer on the road. Innovation drives more job creation,
and innovation comes from companies that take their profits and
(16:19):
reinvest in research and development. And that is not going
to happen under communist rule, which is really if you
look at this, that's where we're going. You cannot make money.
They don't want you to make money. They don't want
you to come out of poverty either. The fact that
they are making fun of Jade Vance and saying he
abandoned his roots. How dare they try to take away
(16:41):
the American dream and say it's okay to have this conversation?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
No, I mean it's really remarkable.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
And trust me and you and I both know this
so well to it or if we don't do it,
China will.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yes, and China poses a.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Threat to us like no other nation that we have
ever faced, our adversary in our history. I mean, nobody
bought things from the Soviet Union, nobody bought things from
the Axis Powers pre World War Two. They were military adversaries.
China is an economic and a military adversary. You can't
get a tail and all without the component or the
(17:16):
parts coming from China. They hold a power over us
that no adversary has, and they are not done. So
we have to take them seriously. Into your other point
about food security, everybody always loves to ask me, well,
what would Donald Trump do to.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Lower grocery prices?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Well, first off, American energy because whether it comes from
the farm to the factory, from the warehouse all the
way down to your.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
House, it requires energy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It requires fuel, gas, diesel, electric, and all of those
higher costs are being passed on to you in the
grocery store, in the Walmart supercenters. And so if we
can bring American energy back, not only do we lower
our prices at the pump, not only do we lower
our sky high utility bills, we lower the price for
(18:03):
everything else.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
And that is one of the most.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Important, easiest and fastest things that we can and should
do in the next America First administration.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I think that's what people don't necessarily understand if you
haven't been in manufacturing or production of some sort, that
the fuel surcharge you're getting now is intense and that
is costing a lot of money. And so because like
you said, everything that you use, I mean, even in
many cases if it is energy, energy is moved and
trucks and in some cases, but all your food, all
(18:36):
your products, everything, I mean just think about for most
of you, how many Amazon packages you get every week
that is all moved by gas powered vehicles. And they
can say they're going to be making electric trucks, but
ultimately those are going to have to come from natural
gas that's going to power those electric trucks. I mean,
it's all so crazy. And this whole green New deal,
(18:58):
this is just lobbyists who have figured out they can
make money on a new product. Again, this is a
new product, and it is not a product that works.
No one is arguing that we could come up with
different ways of producing energy. But when a certain way
is not the way, when it fails, when it's not
doing what they said it was going to do, then
we should not continue to invest in it. But the
(19:20):
fact of the matter is that they have their money
and their investments, These bureaucrats and elected officials, they are
bought by these lobbyists who say this is the answer.
I don't know if you've seen what's happening on the
East Coast right now with these windmills that are going in.
But this to me is crazy. They're yelling at Donald
(19:40):
Trump for offshore drilling. They are offshore drilling every single day,
pounding into our oceans every single day, destroying the wildlife.
They're destroying our oceans right off our East coast. You
look out there, it looks like a city. There's so
many lights. They are destroying our environment by pretending they're
saving them environment, and no one is saying anything about it.
(20:02):
And it makes me sick.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
And when you add to the fact that you know,
I remember Joe Biden the other night at the in
Chicago was bragging about his you know, creation of fifty
five thousand new electric vehicle charging stations. He spent eight
billion dollars and he's got eight eight of them. So
eight billion dollars eight electric charging stations. Thank you, Joe
(20:24):
Biden and Kamala Harris. That's the kind of leadership the
government waste that we have seen. Look what Elon Musk
has done. And look, if you want an electric vehicle,
you do you you know, that's fine. It works for
some people, doesn't work for others, and we should have
that choice as consumers. And as the technology gets better,
I'm sure that there will be more and more of them,
(20:45):
but it's not there right now. And Elon Musk he's
doing it. It's not the government forcing him to do it.
He's innovating and doing it. And that's the kind of leadership.
It's kind of the business common sense we need in
the White House even on energy that it doesn't have
to be one or the other right now, it needs
to be all the above, and when other new forms
(21:08):
of energy production, storage transmission are ready, then the market
will drive that innovation, not the federal government.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Even Elon Musk understands that his
product is an elite product. It is for people who
can afford something more expensive than the average vehicle. But
also you have to have a home because you're not
dangling an electric cord out of your apartment window. He
(21:39):
understands that you have to be able to be in
a certain tax bracket to be able to pay for
his product. He knows that this is not for the
entire public. In fact, it's bizarre to me because you
have Harris right now who's saying we are going to
as the government build housing. Every time I hear that
the government is going to build housing, I think this
is scary. Times. We should have enough and enough business
(22:03):
building in our communities that the people are paying to
build their own houses, because they're getting paid enough to
build their own houses. But she wants to have the
government build housing. We know what government housing is, it's
apartment buildings. How are you going to force these people
that you're going to build housing for to have an
electric vehicle when the housing you're building does not. It
(22:24):
doesn't give anybody the ability to have an electric vehicle.
It's so none of it makes sense. It's like clown world.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Well, this just shows you how radical Kamala Harris actually is.
I mean, let's not forget comrade Bernie Sanders, who took
his honeymoon in the Soviet Union back in the day.
He praises Fidel Castro and Cuba's housing.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Beijing.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Tim Walls, who married on Tieneman Square Day so he
could remember it and took his honeymoon in Beijing, praises
the housing and praises the communist Chinese government. These are
the people she surrounds herself with. This is what she
actually believes.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
And what really drives me crazy is do we have
a housing shortage? Yes, we do.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
No one's going to argue that that's bipartisan. Then why
on earth do you allow twelve million illegal immigrants into
our country who need housing. That's just going to drive
up rent drive up home prices, drive up the prices
that regular Americans can afford, because you've imported twelve million
illegals who are now competing for scarce resources. Just shows
(23:30):
you once again she doesn't even understand economics one oh one.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
And when you look at these people like Walls, who
are romanced by how the Chinese government operates. Just remember
iPhone City was built to simply build iPhones, and it
is housing that went up overnight and houses hundreds of
thousands of people. And they're trapped there. They're trapped there.
I think they get like two weeks off a year.
(23:55):
Outside of that, there's cafeterias that they have to eat at,
they live in. It's like a dorm tory style living.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Like this.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
This is how their communities are living. It's almost like slavery,
to be honest. And these are the people that are
informing Kamala Harris. That's pretty scary.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
It should be scary to everyone, you know. And what's
even scarier. I don't know if you saw this, Tutor,
but just yesterday the Department of Homeland Security is inspector
General Issue to report. And remember all the hubbub about
five hundred and eighty five missing children from the Trump
years who were illegal immigrants. The IG report actually shows
that there were three hundred and twenty thousand children that
(24:38):
Biden and Harris have lost track of illegal immigrants, many
of whom I have no doubt were sold into sex
slavery and or forced work slavery, which is modern day
And this is the This is the woman who dares
to say that they care about women and children when
you can't find three hundred and twenty thousand, and yet
(25:00):
you wailed and screamed and went to the border and
tried to demand change because of five hundred and eighty
five under Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
And nobody likes to talk about the fact that there
is slavery in the United States and it's becoming more
and more prevalent under the Binded administration. That is hiding
these kids. They're not even looking for them. That's the
problem they've come across, and they've just said, Okay, keep
them going, keep the line of children coming in because
the work is there, and these cartels own them. They
(25:30):
own children inside of our country who are doing sex
work and doing slavery, doing hard work, hard labor work.
People don't believe that this is happening, and no one's
talking about it. It shocks me.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
And you know, for everyone who's who's out there who
really cares about these children. There is a term I've
heard that I cannot get out of my head, and
it's so horrific.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
It's called child recycling.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
And literally, these cartels will take children and they will
attach them to someone who's not their relative and send
them across the border. Because if you come across our
southern border with a child, you are treated differently than
when you are not coming across the border with a child,
and that child is abused and sexually assaulted throughout this
entire journey, and as soon as that adult gets over
(26:16):
the border and into one of our communities, the child
is sent back on the other side of the border
so they can be recycled to someone else and sent
back across the border again, child recycling. And that is
something that we should talk about and we should put
a stop to.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
It is true the invasion at the border.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
The drug cartels that are running our southern border are
basically in cahoot with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
And that's why the border bill was no good because
it would allow this to continue. It would allow a
certain number of people to continue to pour over the
border every day, and that means the cartel's operation, that
is a hundreds of millions of dollars a year operation
would continue and legally continue because then it's enshrined in
law that you can allow thousands of people across the
(27:05):
border every day. That's bloney. If you care about people,
you would never sign that bill.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
And it's also a complete lie that Donald Trump killed
that bill. By the way, I'll correct that. During my
day job, I work at the America First Policy Institute
and work alongside some of the brightest and best minds
in immigration and border security from the Trump administration. Our
group came out against that bill a month before Donald
(27:31):
Trump came out against it. Speaker Johnson said it was
dead on arrival, well before Donald Trump said it. And
by the way, there was bipartisan opposition to that bill,
not just bipartisan support because of the reasons you identified.
It is an absolute fake news oaks that Donald Trump
killed that.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Bill, of course, but they have nothing else. And how
I just think it's kind of ironic that as president
you could come out and say a former president has
more control over government right now than me. What an
embarrassment to say that I couldn't get it done because
Donald Trump said not to do it. It's just I'm
a kid. I have arguments like this with my children,
not with adults.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
And then they went ahead and tried to do some
of it via executive order, even though they said they couldn't.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Do it exactly well exactly, And that was the whole
question the entire time. Why are you getting rid of
these executive orders that are protecting us? Oh wait, I'm
actually going to put those back in now. I mean,
like I said, my kids have more logic than what
I've seen out of Washington lately. But you know this,
you deal with it every day, and we appreciate you.
We appreciate what you do, and I appreciate you coming
on today.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Oh thanks for having me, Tutor.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Absolutely Mark Lotard come back, help us out, make sure
we can figure all this out and get the truth
out there.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
We'll do anytime.
