Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I have Rob Finnerty from Newsmax with me today and
he has some major news. So we're very excited that
he decided to come to the Tutor Dixon Podcast and
tell us he is going from the morning to the
evening and taking over the eight pm slot with his
news show, aptly named Finnerty, Rob, thanks for joining me.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Tutor, good to see you, Thanks for having me. Yeah,
we struggled with the name.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Well where did you come up with it?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
So my last name is finner Tuh with a T,
but we pronounce it my family. It's just finnerty, almost
like it's with a D. And I feel like if
we set the T, it's too like Finnerty, don't you
So it's kind of like Hannity, but Finnerty. When you
say Hannity, there's a T, but you you know it's
(00:51):
you say it almost like it has a D.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So it really feels like you're overthinking this.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Maybe it was going to be Rob Finnerty primetime, but
then on Fox.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
No, I like just Finnerty Finity.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
So yes, eight pm, Good Lunches next Tuesday night, October
the eighth on news Max. Right for Rob Schmidt, so
it'll be Rob and Rob.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, we're maybe you should have changed that name.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Maybe you should have been more worried about the first
name than the second name.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
We thought we could just call it Rob Schmidt tonight again,
just have.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
It's just the Rob Network. Maybe we should rename news Max.
That's the that's the issue here.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
You're onto something there. So I've been on the morning
show and you've been on, you know, a million times
for four years, and I you know, I've absolutely loved it.
I've done fourteen years in a row. This is calendar
year fourteen of Tiow and Tutor. It's just not it's
just not healthy to do it for that long. I
you know, I think it's one of those things where
your whole life is recalibrated around getting up at three
(01:52):
thirty in the morning. Yeah, so that will change. But
this is you know, I'm I feel I'm so grateful
to the network. I feel incredibly last I'm grateful to
the you know, Chris Ruddy forgive me the opportunity and
I just to do it now, you know, launch this
show thirty days from the election. You know, what an
opportunity and what a moment to actually get this thing started.
(02:15):
So I'm very, very excited, and I hope you'll come on.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I will, and we are excited for you. Congratulations. Honestly,
when we got the news in the office, everybody was.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Like, that was the best decision. It's so exciting.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
So I know that you've been doing the morning show
for a long time, but it's honestly an amazing show.
So I fully expect the eight PM show to be
phenomenal and I have no doubts. I don't even have
to worry about it because I know you're that good.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Thank you, Toodor. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Thank you absolutely.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
But now since you are like the main primetime host,
you're going to have to give me the download on
what you think of this debate because this is like
your new life. Now you've got to go through all
of these things in great detail. So we just had
this jd Vance Tim Walls debate. A lot of people
came out of it and they were like, jd Vance
overwhelmingly won this debate. You have some interesting feelings about it,
(03:05):
which I love. I want you to share them.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Well, I think so jd Vance won the debate, and
the dynamic between these two was on display for ninety minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
JD.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Van is a brilliant guy, like he is just objectively
an incredibly smart guy, even though it was three on
one again, Yep, moderators, I never thought I would like
Nora O'Donnell more than whoever she's sitting next to. Don't
forget she just lost her job. Yes, dude, right, so.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Funny though too, That's exactly how I felt. I totally mean,
get what you mean.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
But Margaret Brennan was she was the female David Muir
last night. But JD. Vance is so smart and so quick,
and he has such a firm grasp on the information
and the facts that when she fact checked him, he
fact checked her back, and he was right in the moment.
And I'm thinking to myself, So, David Muir three weeks
(04:01):
ago does the Kamala Trump debate. He's lost a million
viewers a night. We talked about it on Newsmax. Right
after a million viewers a night, twenty five percent of
his audience has abandoned his show because he was so
clearly biased and obviously conservatives and Republicans and people that
are going to vote for Donald Trump. On November fifth,
also watched the nightly news, so he alienated half of
(04:24):
his audience, which was such a stupid business decision. And
I thought, going in the last night, the moderator said,
we're not going to be biased, and I was like,
you know what, maybe they won't be. Margaret Brennan has
a show every Sunday, Faced the Nation on CBS, and
what did she do last night? Her her bias was
on display, and she alienated half of her audience. And
I guarantee you, Now, obviously I don't think her audience
(04:45):
is fifty percent Kamala voters and fifty percent Trump voters,
but on a Sunday it should be. I guarantee you
her ratings take a hit. And I was just her.
The moderators during all of these debates, except for that
CNN debate that essentially did Joe Biden's political career with
Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, except for that debate, have
been they have been so grossly biased. But I thought, yeah,
(05:09):
did a great job last night, and I thought he
was likable.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yes, I agree, I think one of the points that
you're making is interesting. But behind the scenes, you and
I see how you kind of get pulled into your
own corner in these media companies where it's like, Okay,
this is we all feel this way, and then you
can just sort of spend that time in your own
bubble and forget about the independence. And I think that
(05:32):
the leftist media has totally forgotten about independence. And so
when I'm listening to her last night and seeing her
say to Tim Walls, Okay, the Senator just said this
about you, wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You like to respond to that? It was like she
knew he wasn't.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Going to fact check Jade Vans, He wasn't going to
go back and say anything. She was coaching him all
the way along. And you could very clearly see that
that baked and biased. They couldn't get rid of it.
They live it in the bubble. They could not welcome
the independence. And I'm curious today what Independence thought of that,
if they recognized it and it was annoying to them,
(06:08):
because for me, it was very annoying.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
So Politico had a piece this morning where they were
criticizing jd Vance for having a beard and saying that
that will turn off particularly suburban white women. Read that
at five in the morning, I said, there it is
jd Vance won the debate. If Politico is talking about
his beard. By the way, Abraham likeke and had a beard,
he was a pretty good president. Right. If they are
(06:32):
criticizing his beard, that means that the substance of what
he had to say. Last night, forty million Americans watched,
and I think people are that don't know he's only
been a senator for two years, and people that haven't
watched Hillbilly Elgi. And by the way, if you're on
the fence about Jade Vance, go to Netflix. It's still
one of the top ten trending movies. Watch Hill Billy
Elge and you'll like him more. But last night jd
(06:55):
Vance reintroduced himself to the American people. And I think
for people that heard no he's weird and this childless
cat Ladies comment from two months ago, I think they
watched this guy last night. He's in an interracial marriage,
his wife usha beautiful, he's got three beautiful kids, and
he seemed like the kind of guy. And I know
it's folksy and people used to say this about George
(07:16):
Bush and other candidates, but he's the kind of guy
you want to sit down and have a beer with.
Last night, watching Tim Walls, who was the weirdo on stage?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Oh, I know, you know, I mean he wasn't rude.
I will give him that.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Like when I watched the first debate with Trump and Kamala, right,
I guess we should call it the second debate with
Trump and Kamala, I thought she was very rude, the
eye rolling, the facial expressions. He didn't come off rude.
He came off nervous and like he didn't know what
he was going to say. But it's funny that they
said that about the beard because we all commented on
how his hair had just been chopped off. Walls had
(07:49):
like no hair, it was all slicked back. He looked
like a fresh baby, and it was not his regular look,
you know. So we're like, this is very awkward that
he came out as a totally different.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
That's really funny. So no one on the set this
morning seemed to notice that. But Walls, I thought when
he was introduced as the running bait in August at
the d n C, I was like, Okay, he kind
of looks the part. He looked good in his suit,
his hair. To your point, I think his hair was
he was between haircuts, not just coming off a haircut
where he said take it all off, and he lost
(08:23):
a little weight before that debut. I thought he looked
better back at the DNC. And look, this is you know,
especially a visual medium like television, it matters. Jd Vance taller,
looks sharp, he's he's slimmed down since, you know, since
he became the nominee a little bit, and that stuff
makes a diffence. Tutor, I thought the same thing. I thought,
Waltz kind of looked terrible last night. And I don't
know who's cutting his hair. Maybe it's his wife, but
(08:45):
it was it was not a good haircut. And I
think right before debate, I always say, okay, so I'm
launching the show on Newsmax next Tuesday, Right, so I
already got my haircut.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
You're right, exactly. See, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Guys cannot go out on the first day of the
haircut because it looks very short.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's what happened. I mean, it had to have been
the first day of the haircut.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
He got it that morning. Yeah, he's right, Yeah, it
was bad. No, And I thought, look, I thought jd
Vance just kind of ran circles around him all night.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It sort of makes me think that before the debate
was sort of like when I you have to remember
I have four kids, but it reminded me of that
scene and Beauty and the Beast where they're like brushing
out his beard and curling it and clipping his nails
and everything.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Did that happen to Tim Walls right before?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And then they were like, oh, no, you're not Tim
Walls anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, I kind of like that Wild Professor look.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
You know, yeah, yeah, Tim Walls before.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And the after was not the Wild.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
The actor was not good. The beast at least looked good.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You know, and he was a beast.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
He wasn't comfortable in that outfit the Beast clearly, you know.
But here looking right, you look better at the end
of the movie than they're dancing. I've never seen that movie, Tutor.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh yes, obviously I have two little.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Kids too, so I'm right there at Disney. Plus they
watched a couple of movies, you know, on a loop.
But no, I think that so jd vance prepared with
Tom Emmer it was a Minnesota congressman, just to sort
of help him with the Minnesota nice and kind of
the hokey folksiness that Waltz hass, you know, sort of
(10:18):
become known for. Look, Waltz telegraphed the media that he
was nervous before, which I think was a clear tactic
to try and set the bar low. That's what I
thought going into it. And then I watched and I said, no,
he actually is nervous. He is nervous. He was nervous
for ninety minutes. I think he got stronger as the
night went on, but the first thirty minutes for Tim Waltz,
it was a disaster. I thought it was brilliant. Jason
(10:39):
Miller was on the show this morning and he told
us that he made it very clear to jd Vance
that he should no matter what the first question is,
he should take They have two minutes to respond to questions.
Take at least thirty seconds and reintroduce yourself to the
American people. Jd Vance did that. He said, Look, I'm
a father of three, been married for ten years, served
our country after nine to eleven, was deployed to Iraq,
(11:02):
and he gave a little bit of his backstory and
I thought that was brilliant. And then he gave a
tremendous answer and the question was about Iran and Tim Walls.
It's difficult for Tim Walls because he has to campaign
against his running mates policies. People forget that Kamala is
the sitting vice president. He has to actively campaign against
(11:22):
everything that the now Harris Biden administration has gotten us
into over the last four years. And people should think
about that when they go and vote.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah. I thought it was interesting because I think that
he was doing that, he was introducing himself and then
Walls tried to emulate that and he was like, Okay,
I can do this too. And then he started talking
about that twenty five thousand dollars and he said, you know,
I had a veteran home loan, and the veterans don't
have to pay a down payment. And that's why we
think this is so great because we can offer that
(11:52):
to everybody. And it was really striking to me because
I wondered how veterans took that. Veterans give up a
lot to have that. You know, that is like, hey,
this is because this is what you get because you
gave your life to us, and yet they want to
just give it to anybody and people who maybe haven't
done the best to save And I think that's you
(12:15):
fall into a few different issues. And this is where
I think oftentimes Democrats are shortsighted because you fall into
a few different issues when you give away free money.
First of all, you give me away free money for
a house, Well, people are going to raise the cost
of houses. You also have a situation where if this
person needed the down payment, can they pay the mortgage?
And then do we end up with another housing bubble
(12:37):
on a crash. These are all the things that we
didn't hear any answers from, and we certainly didn't hear
the moderator saying well, but how are you going to
do that?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Right? Yeah, there were very few follow up questions. Tim
Walls didn't get a single question about stolen valor, and
they're not accusations. Tim Waals has claimed that he's an
E nine, a command Master sergeant the Army National Guide.
It's a lot he's an E eight, and there wasn't
a single question about that, which I was. I was
sort of stunned. I thought that China question was very
(13:08):
revealing because he just lied. With Tim Walls, everything he
says is a lie. With Kamala, she will say anything
to get elected. So these are two people that are
not Kamala. Democrats always do this, and you know this
as somebody who's been a politician. They always tack back
to the center or even center right when it is
(13:31):
election season, and then once they're elected, they go right
back to being way to the left, especially Kamala. Right now,
you think about no tax on tips. She literally lasts Friday.
So less than a week ago, went to Arizona and
walked by the Trump border wall. You know, last night,
Tim Wall said the Trump only built four percent of
the wall. He built five hundred miles of wall, okay,
(13:52):
and he bought all the material to buy the rest
of it. He didn't get reelected in twenty twenty or
that process would have continued, but he still built five
hundred miles of water. And thank goodness we have that
five hundred miles a wall because it's in the most
it's in the busiest areas for a legal crossing.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I think that you saw a Tim Walls who was lying,
but he was also not just lying.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
He was admitting.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I mean he came out and said, oh I can
be a knucklehead sometimes, and I thought, I don't want
a knucklehead. I mean, it's a word that I really think. Man,
a knucklehead is someone who makes a massive mistake and
you just you can't trust a knucklehead.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
It's just an interesting term.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And I get that was folks see and I get
that was Midwestern, but ultimately it wasn't something that builds trust.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
But he's never going to get called on it.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I mean, I appreciate the fact that they went back
and they said, but you didn't tell the truth here
or did you?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Can you clarify that?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And he really struggled, and I think that he totally
bombed that answer instead of coming out insane. I mean,
and it was just it was weird because he's like, well,
I was there during the season of the protest, but
I'm a knucklehead. Sometimes I wanted to dig in a
little deeper. What is your connection to China? And then
he threw out he had this weird thing where he
just kind of went in circles and he threw out, Trump,
(15:15):
shit have gone to China. And none of the media said,
I mean, neither of the moderators said a darn thing
about it. They and they didn't push back on him.
But you were talking to me the other day about
how twisted the media is and how people are starting
to shift over, and I think that's true. I mean,
you know, we were at a diner this morning and
(15:35):
it was on one of the morning shows that came out,
and there were Harris supporters there. And I know that
they were there because they wanted to get their flag
out there. But I also think there is somewhat there's
somewhat of a curiosity now and we see people going
to Newsmax, and we see people coming over and in
our state, you know, we we have an organization called
(15:56):
a news site called The Midwesterner and it's been amazing.
In just a year's time since The Midwesterner has been
up and offering the full story, the traffic it just
gets higher and higher and higher every month. And I'm like,
I do believe people are saying, Okay, what's the truth.
And I will say I sat down with these women
this morning and we talked about, well, do you really
(16:19):
want to be the party that supports war? And they're like,
our party doesn't support war, and I said, but you
have to admit it somewhat strange when you see the
governor of a state, bring it the president of a
warring nation into his state and sign bombs that will
be dropped on women and children. And they had never
they didn't. They said that video is not real. No,
(16:39):
it is real.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
That video is real. I had. Rick Cornell was in studio.
Rick Renell severy that's being talked about is maybe the
next secretary of State if Trump gets elected. Okay, he
was former director National Intelligence, ambassador to Germany for three
years US ambassador, and he was like, if Shapiro, don't
forget a lot of the prominent candidates that we heard about.
If Joe Biden to drop out of the race, you know,
(17:01):
people like Michigan's own Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsom and
Josh Shapiro and even Hillary Clinton then Michelle Obama. You
don't really hear much from Gavin and Shapiro when it
comes to campaigning for Kamala. You want to know why
this is.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
They don't want her to win.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
They want if Trump wins, they want the runway clear
for twenty Otherwise, theoretically, we could be looking at another
eight years of Democrats in the White House. Kamala could
run and win again. In twenty twenty eight, if Ronald
Trump wins, it's four years and then it's an open
race on both sides four years from now. Gavin doesn't
(17:38):
like Kamala. I interviewed Willy Brown and San Francisco asked
him about that, and Willy Brown gave me a look
that you know, it's worth a million, a thousand words.
He was basically like, yeah, those two don't get along
anymore because Gavin thinks he was stepped over, and Gavin
thinks that he's he's the next guy for the White
House for the Democrats, Josh Shapiro. That's probably why Kamala
didn't choose Josh Shapiro. But Grenell said that one video
(18:01):
of Shapiro signing a bomb to kill Russians in Pennsylvania
that will impact him when he does run for president,
whether it's in twenty eight or thirty two or whenever.
But no, it's it blows my mind some of what's
going on right now and just the media deception. And
(18:22):
I think four years ago, which is tutor not that
long ago, but think about what we have now and
what the American people have available to them that they
did not have four years ago. Certainly in twenty sixteen
and every election before that, your podcast, this podcast, the
Tutor Dickson Podcast did not exist. Think about other prominent
conservative Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson's podcast, Megan Kelly, the Jerry
(18:46):
Callahan Show. There are so many different places for people
to go to get the truth. Newsmax four years ago
we did not have a full day of programming. Now
fourth biggest network in the country, and we're beating CA
down on a daily basis, which if you work at CNN,
that is sad because we've been around for Newsmacks itself
has been around for a long time, but as a
(19:07):
twenty four to seven cable news network, it's been about
four years compared to CNN forty year head start and
a billion dollar budget. That's embarrassing. If you're Jake Tapper
in you're I think that.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I think CNN has tried so hard to go back
to being in the middle, but they can't because all
of the young generation that's coming out of journalism school
today and going into the control rooms, they keep pulling
them left. They keep pulling them left. But it's funny
to me because you watch like a Chris Cuomo who
gets fired. It's like after people get fired, suddenly they
(19:40):
start to see things a little differently. And you see
him talking and I'm like, why didn't you see this
four years ago? You know, when you were telling us
all to wear masks and to get the shot and
that we are all horrible people if we didn't. And
there were people like the folks at Newsmax who were saying,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
We still believe in individual liberty.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
We still believe that you get to make choices in
your own life. And people said, I identify with what
is truly American. And I think that was the turn
I think that was the turning point for so many things.
And that's what I even when I hear RFK come
into Michigan and talk about the pharmaceuticals and the big
(20:21):
food and all of these chemicals that are in our
foods that we don't even know about.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I think COVID was a.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Big turning point for people to start seeking out other information.
Because when you have a lifelong democrat, I want to
come out and say, oh no them, well there you go.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
COVID for me was that was what that crystallized everything
for me. I was you know, I'm an Irish Catholic
from Cape Cod, mass born and raised, you know, ten
miles away from the Kennedy compound. I'd say almost everyone
in my family except for my parents are are Massachusetts Democrats,
which is different from your standard Democrat, say a California Democrat.
(21:00):
They read the Boston Globe, they watch CNN. It's the
indoctrination is beyond belief and it's ingrained culturally up there.
You find a Republican in mass I'll tell you what.
Hold on to them because it might be the only
one you find. There's just not a lot of them
up there. But I lived in Florida during the beginning
of COVID, and I saw the differences between the way
Ron DeSantis handled things and the way that Charlie Baker
(21:22):
and then Mara Healy, the governor of mass Choose's handle things.
My parents were like, hey, come up and visit us.
You know, my parents are in their seventies, right, they
want to see their grandkids and see myself and my wife.
My siblings all called me individually, and I'm one of four,
and they all said, look, you know, you guys in
Florida are like radioactive. We don't want you like bringing
COVID and I was like, I don't have to.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I still go to the studio every day, so I
get tested all the time, Like if I'm sick, I
won't come, but you know, we want to come see
you guys, And they wouldn't let us. My parents were
the only ones that were like, come, please join us.
And that's when I was like, wait a second, Like
something's not on the level here. You know something is
not on the level. And I Tutor, when you think
about the media and you think about what you do
(22:03):
every day on your show, the test of November fifth
is these two candidates going against each other, the big
liar which is Kamala Harris, and then Donald Trump. And
we've got a record to look back when it comes
to Donald Trump. So everything you've heard about him is crap.
Look back at his record. Okay, you've got a four
year presidency you can look back at if you want
to know what Donald Trump will do, might do what
(22:23):
he stands for. It's pretty clear. Right with Commay, You've
got somebody sixty eight days now has yet to do
a press conference, has yet to do a press conference.
After Tutor, the greatest coup in political our political lifetimes.
At the White House in late July, Friday, Joe Biden
made a speech said that I'm still the candidate. I'm
still very much running. Sunday he was out of the race,
(22:44):
and by Monday afternoon, Kamala had coalesced all power around her.
No one has ever asked her about it. What happened?
What did she know about Joe Biden's helf? When did
she know it? Why didn't she speak up? These are
the questions of our time, and people are going to vote.
People are already voting in some states, and they don't
have answers to those questions. So also on the line
(23:06):
November fifth is the power of the dominant media ABC, CBS,
NBC and their subsidiaries MSNBC and CNN as well. We
will find out how much the Tutor Dickson podcast, how
much Newsmax, how much impact alternative independent media is really having.
You know, millions of people watch me every single week.
Does it actually impact the way people vote on November
(23:28):
the fifth? For me, that is as equal a test
as which candidate wins, And we will find out a lot.
If Trump wins, the power of alternative media will continue
to rise. If he loses, that is a notch on
the belt for the dominant media who have gas lit
and I think that word is overused, but they have
gas lit the American public to an unbelievably outrageous degree
for the last three months, but also the last four years.
(23:49):
They told us Joe was okay four years ago. He's
got Alzheimer's, He's got dementia. Once he leaves office, we'll
find out what the formal diagnosis is. But he is
not okay upstairs. And we are on the verge of
World War three in the Middle East. Look at what
happened with Iron and Israel yesterday. Okay, We've got fifty
thousand dock workers striking from the Gulf coast to Maine.
And we've got a hurricane where Donald Trump's on the
(24:10):
ground in Georgia two days ago. He's going to North
Carolina on Friday. Where is Kamala? Where is Joe Biden? Today?
We heard that Joe Biden was going to get an
aerial view of the damage and devastation in western North
Carolina from Air Force One. Like George Bush after Katrina.
The difference Kamala is running for president. George Bush had
already won re election, so that was a mistake, but
they're about to make the same mistake again. They should
(24:32):
be on the ground. One hundred and fifty five Americans
have died. That number will go up by the time
I'm on the air tomorrow, by the time we're off
the air right now. It is unbelievable what's going on
in our.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Sopolty the hurricane thing. It really disturbs me because I
think that that's the greatest exposure of the media yet
because they don't want to talk about it because of
what you just said, because Kamala is not there, because
she doesn't have an answer, because there hasn't been a
quick enough response, because people keep dying every single day,
and there are still people trapped in my gosh, six
days in they're saying we found a family trapped in
(25:05):
their house and actually saved them. They were actually still alive.
We're still in recovery efforts. But pretty soon it's going
to be a whole different story. And she has not
come out, she has not done a press conference. I mean,
how can you not do a press conference on this?
And there is no Joe Biden. Let's just be honest
about that. People were saying, oh, he's I mean, even
(25:28):
Karine Jean Pierre said they took phone calls. I'm like, oh,
so we're admitting now they're phoning this in. I mean,
give me a break. You're taking phone calls in the
midst of a disaster. And I was just thinking this
morning about how Katrina was such a big deal. Everybody
knew and for months we followed it and it was
the most heartbreaking scenario we could have imagined. And here
(25:49):
we are right back there, and I feel like the
media is not talking about it because they want their
person to get into power. How did we get to
a point where the media stops talking about the people
who desperately need help, who are trapped, and the people
who will die not because they're trapped, but because they
have no water and they have no food.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's Donald Trump is not the commander in chief right now,
all right. He's a private citizen running for president. He's
not a senator. Jade Vance is a senator. Tim Wallas
is the governor. Kamala is the current vice president. Donald
Trump has done more in the last five days since
this terrible, horrific hurricane hit the Big Bend in Florida
(26:32):
and made its way north into the Tennessee Valley in
Georgia and the western part of North Carolina and South Carolina.
He's got to go fund me where he's raising millions
of dollars. And you might say, well, that's not a
lot of money. The federal government gave the people, the
victims of the Maui wildfires seven hundred bucks per household.
All right, tutor, you've got four kids seven hrd bucks.
(26:53):
That's two weeks of groceries at best. Federal government. Last
week President Zelenskia Ukraine was at the un He was
signing bombs in Pennsylvania, campaigning for Kamala and Tim And
he got eight hundred billion dollars. That's what he left.
That's what he left America with, eight hundred million dollars.
So here we are. Donald Trump talked to Elon Musk
(27:14):
about Starlink. Elon Musk endorsed Trump after he was shot
the first time. July thirteenth. Butler, Pennsylvania and Elon Musk
focused a Starlink satellite over Ashville, North Carolina, and I
interviewed somebody this morning in Ashville. On the ground, you
could see the flooding and devastation behind his house, and
he was able to connect with us via Skype because
(27:36):
of what Elon Musk is doing. So a former president,
who of course wants to be president again in thirty
four days, is doing more than our commander in chief
Joe Biden, who, by the way, when you say he's
at the beach, that used to be like a figurative insult.
You'd be like, oh, met at o. This past weekend
he was literally sitting on the beach in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
That's our adult, atrophied, calcified, eighty two year old commander
(27:59):
in chief. But Kamala is not okay. And what has
she done today? Nothing, she's done. She went to FEMA headquarters,
which is the epitome of mailing it in. If you
go to FEMA headquarters in Washington, DC, she should be
wearing waiters. She should be on the ground in Nashville
and Georgia. She should be there right now, and she's not.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Imagine your boss has a crisis and you don't show up.
I mean, because she works for the people they're in crisis,
and she just didn't show I'll.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Say it's oh, you know, if she goes it's political, fine,
but it matters.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
All right, it met yes, I mean, and that's what
Governor Huckabee said. He came out and he said, look,
and in a crisis like this, it's not about a
political operative or a photo op. This is about making
sure that people know that the Vice president and the
President of the United States see you and understand how
important it is. And you keep the focus there, you
keep the supplies coming, you keep the story going, You
(28:56):
make sure people don't forget. And a lot of this
is neighbors helping neighbors. That's the beauty about the United
States of America, and neighbors need to know there's a problem,
and that's how you keep that story going. I mean,
but they failed in Hawaii, they failed in East Palestine,
they're failing here. Why would we continue to go with this?
And I think that your point about the media, and
(29:16):
I just want to say this. I know we're getting
close to over time, but I just want to say this.
Your point about the media is so critical because it's
not it's beyond gaslighting. I mean, gosh, we had an
article I went out and campaigned with jd Vance and
Newsweek writes an article about me that it's just a
complete hit piece and a complete lie, and we send
(29:39):
them a documentations saying this is how you're totally lied
about me. I'm not even a candidate, doesn't matter. They
can do whatever they want to the Republicans, and there
is nobody on the other side coming to your defense
until we suddenly have the Newsmax's and the Midwesterners and
all of these places where people can go and say,
(29:59):
wh cow, they're fully lying about these people. But it's
really hard once you have somebody that people believe is
a credible source write a hip piece on you. And
that's what Donald Trump has dealt with since day one.
So I hope that you're right that now people will
say I have a podcast to go to I can
I can hear from the person directly, and that's what
I love about this podcast. Like you, you can send
(30:21):
me messages, send me ideas, email me, ask me questions,
we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You can find out who I really am.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
That was kind of the interesting part about my day
today when I sat down with the Kamala Harris supporters
and the one woman said to me, I really I
really didn't like you, and she was like, you're more
of a person than I thought you were. And I
think it was so striking because I'm like, yeah, that's
the thing. We're not people. You know, they don't think
of politicians as people anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
But I have kids.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I loved the fact that they shared with me, they
told me their stories changed my mind on things. I
don't know that I changed their mind on things. But
we came together as neighbors, not as people from different parties.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
The media wants us to believe that we are a
nation divided with nothing in common, and we're at war
with each other. And it's the furthest thing from the truth.
America is still the greatest country on the planet and
I see it. I see it every day. But the
media doesn't want you to think that. And when you
go and vote, just consider that you're also voting for
the power of the dominant media. And we have to
(31:23):
end this. We have to take their power away. And
I'm just back to the hurricane thing. Twenty twelve, Barack Obama,
Superstorm Sandy, it hits. He is three weeks away from
the election with Mitt Romney, and the polls were tight.
You know, Obama won, but the polls were tight three
weeks out. He was on the ground in New Jersey
forty eight hours later, okay, And people said, yeah, it
(31:44):
was political, but people needed to see him, needed to
see him. Even if you just go and you know,
shake some hands. You know, Cansole residents be the empathizer
in chief. That stuff matters, and people like Kamala Harris
don't get that, and the brain trust of absolute abject
amateurs around her every day will never get it.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
But you know, he was on the ground with Chris Christie,
and I think that those images of and I think
that was actually why people came out of the debate
last night and went ow, they aren't awful because they
complimented each other, they agreed on certain things. They showed
us that America does not hate each other. We're not
constantly screaming at each other and lobbing insults at one another.
(32:27):
It doesn't have to be that way. But that was
that moment for Barack Obama. He was there with the
Republican they put everything aside and said the American people
come first. And I think that was really a moment
where people went, I want someone that will put everything
aside and put the American people first.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
It's more meaningful than you know.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Totally might doomed Chris Christie, though politically.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
He consumed himself with other things.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
He was yes, you know, with that slabbering hug on
the tarmac. Republicans were like, okay, just shake hands Chris.
You know.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Right, I don't know that Chris is a true conservative.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, it's one of the Chris Christie, by the way,
he should have run in twenty twelve, like, yeah, run
when it's your moment.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yes, totally, you're so right.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Run and if you fast sale, but run when it's
your moment. He was like, oh, I'll run in twenty sixteen,
and then along came Donald.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon podcast. It's funny because that's what everybody says.
Politics is a little is a lot of timing and
a little bit of luck, and it's hard to know
what the timing is. But he definitely ran at the
wrong time. And I don't know what his deal was
this year. I think this year was just to lob bombs.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
He was just that guy that he just wanted to
come in and break stuff and it didn't work. I
don't think it worked for anybody. I don't think it.
I don't think it had the effect he thought it
would have with independence either. So I don't know if
someone was backing him to do that, but I guess
I doubt he'll run again.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
No, I doubt it too, and I just today. So
it's a moment in time right to seal a line
from Kamala. But right now, thirty four days out, I
am exceptionally optimistic and bullish about Donald Trump's chances on
election day. If you asked me the same question six
weeks ago, I don't think i'd give you the same answer.
(34:19):
But it's all about winning news cycles now, and it
seems like Trump vance are stringing together win after win
after win, which makes a big, big difference.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
It has been such a rollercoaster, honestly, say, I'm like,
there are days when I'm like, oh my gosh, this
is getting so bad, and then I'm all, well, look
at that. And you know, last night I felt like, oh,
you finally get to meet jd. Vant and you finally
get to see who he is. And I'm so glad
that people get to actually connect to him in some way.
And I thought that was incredibly powerful. But I do
(34:52):
think that there have been moments in time her interviews
have been so weird.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
She did a.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Great job at prosecuting in the debate, and I think
that people walked away from that and they were like, man,
she powerfully went after him.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
But she's a prosecutor, she knew the case. She didn't
have depth beyond that.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
And then when she started to go out and do
the interviews, people would ask her something. She'd come out
with that, Oh, I was raised in the middle class.
And she did it again just two days ago. I
saw her doing that. I'm like, have you not seen
the memes? Like why are you still saying that? And
answering questions with that? But she has sunk her own
campaign by having no depth. I mean, know the job
(35:36):
you're interviewing for and literally you're the runner up now
in office? How could you be so poor at this.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Interesting She's been the most hermetically sealed candidate that I've
ever and I'm including Joe Biden all right, he campaigned
for the basement in twenty twenty. Joe was out there
more than Kamala. And there's no pandemic right now. Okay,
that's what we're dealing with, and Tutor, seventy million people
will still vote for this woman. There are yard signs
in Miami, Connecticut. There are yard signs in my neighborhood.
(36:04):
It says Harris Waltz Comma obviously, And I just feel
like knocking on the door and saying, ma'am sir, with
all due respect, you can support Kambala, Harris and Tim Waltz,
but not obviously, Okay. I think it's the furthest thing
from obviously.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Okay, But okay, But to your point about the media, Look,
if you had Ron DeSantis out there signing bombs, Donald
Trump would not take a step without the media saying
do you support this? Do you support being a warmonger?
Are you a warmonger? Do you support the war? Are
you making money off of the war? That would be
all you would hear. And I have not heard a
(36:39):
single peep from the media saying we don't do this.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Wait like we.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Want to sign peace treaties, we don't want to sign bombs,
we don't support have I mean this is at this point,
you are funding to keep the war going. That's and
you're openly signing your name to keeping the war going
because there is no discussion, there is no diploma see
going on, and there's not even an attempt at it.
You don't see any leadership coming out of Washington other
(37:05):
than saying, we're signing a blank check. We're gonna send
it over. And now it's not just we're signing a
blank check, we're signing the bombs themselves. We're so proud
of this, it's unheard of. I mean when I said
this to these women today, they were absolutely horrified.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
We are not the party of war.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
I'm like, well, actually, you are the party of war.
And the Republicans have become the party of the middle class.
In the eighties, they call them Reagan Democrats, and then
when Bill Clinton ran, they reverted back to form and
voted for Bill Clinton twice. And they haven't snapped back
in twenty sixteen a little bit, including in your state
of Michigan. I think it's happening right now. I think
(37:41):
it's clear that Republicans are the party of the middle class.
If you think about Trump meeting with Zelensky on Friday
at Trump Tower, they came out and addressed the media
for five minutes after Zelensky didn't look happy, but why
should he? He knows that if Trump wins, the gravy
train comes to an end and our hearts break for
the people of Ukraine. But three years ago, when Putin
(38:03):
invaded Ukraine February twenty two, I'd say ninety percent of
Americans couldn't find Ukraine in a map if you ask
them to three years later, this is calendar year three
of this war. If you pulled down that same map
and had people try to find Ukraine, I've been ninety
percent of Americans couldn't find Ukraine. And what's at stake
right now is a region in the east called the Dombas.
And Trump has said, look, you know, maybe we have
a ceasefire in Ukraine and Russia keeps the land. It's
(38:25):
god now, and we go from there. But what's the alternative?
We just keep going and going. Russia's got more nuclear
weapons than any country on the planet. What comes after that?
Are we going to risk it all for Ukraine?
Speaker 2 (38:36):
You know? Or Russia connected with China, connected with Iran,
connected with North Korea. I mean, I say this all
the time. I'm like, we're not we have no leadership,
and there's no one coming. When America falls, there's no
one to save us. We don't get to just sleep
on the beach for four years. You've got to be
engaged in every conversation, in every decision, and I don't
(38:59):
feel confident that she can be engaged. Walls multiple times
last night was like why I don't know federal law?
Why don't know federal law? Like, dude, you were a congressman.
Where where were you when you were a congressman? Think
what do you mean? Yeah, and you have two people
that are like, this is the job we want. We'll
figure it out when we get there. No thanks, no thanks,
you should know it now. And she's there and she
(39:20):
has not done any of this. So I think it
was I think that's what's been powerful, and that's what's
turning the tide in Trump's direction. And I just am
anxious to see November fifth. But then the years following that,
obviously there will be a lot of attacks on him.
But you know, if he can bring back peace, if
he can get more peace agreements sign, what are they
(39:41):
going to do, right, They'll have nothing.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, think about the Abraham Courts. By the way, So
we've got this union strike, fifty thousand doc workers, right,
Mayor Pete is the Transportation Secretary. Yeah, but he's been
hunkered down, sequestered with Tim Walls for the last ten
days doing debate prep. Pete, maybe keep your eye the
ball a little bit, Maybe focus on preventing a strike
(40:03):
which could literally bring down the Democratic Party a couple
weeks before the election.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
But bring down the country right right.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
I mean think about it. It's the holiday season. Goods
things are going to be impacted starting this week. All right.
There are right now like eighteen ships anchored off the
board of New Jersey that should be you know, coming
in and delivering what they have. They're not, which is
bad timing for Kamala again, so is this hurricane. But Pete,
what are you doing? Like where are you right now?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
And it will you will start to see it slowly,
but you're right when it comes to Christmas and you
can't get the toys, you can't get the close. It
all comes over on ships this and it's coming now.
All of it comes now, everything that is for the season.
The Christmas season comes now so again covid all over again.
(40:51):
You'll suddenly see Christmas ornaments coming out in February because
they just finally got shipped over here. This is catastrophic
and it's probably not getting enough attention, and we could
do a whole nother podcast on that. So as this goes,
as we see more about the strike, we should talk
about it more because I do think I watch this
and I'm like, man, these are some of the best
(41:11):
paid working people in the country. They were offered a
fifty percent increase. Now they're demanding eighty. They're negotiating with
Buddha Judge's department and he's not nowhere to be found,
and he's not saying boo about an eighty percent increase. Yeah,
we'd all love that. But also if that happens, if
(41:32):
the increase goes that high, which is not reflective of
what the American people are getting the cost of goods,
it's just going to go even higher.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Inflation will rise.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I mean, all of this has an effect, and we
are hearing nothing from this administration. And if it were
the other way around, that media that we've been talking
about would be all down Donald Trump's throat every day.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
What are you gonna do, What are you gonna do,
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (41:55):
I would love to see an honest media and I'll
just close by saying, you remember after that first debate
June twenty seventh, Joe Biden Donald Trump, the media started
doing their jobs for about three weeks and they got
Joe out and then they went back to doing what
they've been doing for the last four years, and that's
(42:17):
carrying the water for the Biden Harris now Harris Biden administration.
But that little glimpse of an honest media. They were
saying things, Tutor, and you've been coming on for three years.
They were saying things that you and I have talked
about for the last three years. Three years ago, they
called us heretics. They were like, oh, those guys over
on Newsmax, they're crazy, right, crazy like a fox. We
(42:39):
were right, we were right. Yep.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Well, and thankfully we have a new addition to the
eight pm hour with Finnerty. So I'm I can't wait
to watch it.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Thanks Tudor, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Good to see you, Good to see you, Thanks Rob Finnerty.
Make sure you watch him. It's what next Tuesday, right Tuesday,
eight pm.
Speaker 3 (42:57):
Eight pm Eastern on Newsbacks.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
So make sure you watch it. It's going to be great.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
And thank you so much for joining me, and thank
you all for joining us on the Tutor Dixon podcast
for this episode and others. Head over to the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
And join us next time. Have a blessed day.
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I have Rob Finnerty from Newsmax with me today and
he has some major news. So we're very excited that
he decided to come to the Tutor Dixon Podcast and
tell us he is going from the morning to the
evening and taking over the eight pm slot with his
news show, aptly named Finnerty, Rob, thanks for joining me.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Tutor, good to see you, Thanks for having me. Yeah,
we struggled with the name.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Well where did you come up with it?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
So my last name is finner Tuh with a T,
but we pronounce it my family. It's just finnerty, almost
like it's with a D. And I feel like if
we set the T, it's too like Finnerty, don't you
So it's kind of like Hannity, but Finnerty. When you
say Hannity, there's a T, but you you know it's
(00:51):
you say it almost like it has a D.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So it really feels like you're overthinking this.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Maybe it was going to be Rob Finnerty primetime, but
then on Fox.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
No, I like just Finnerty Finity.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
So yes, eight pm, Good Lunches next Tuesday night, October
the eighth on news Max. Right for Rob Schmidt, so
it'll be Rob and Rob.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, we're maybe you should have changed that name.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Maybe you should have been more worried about the first
name than the second name.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
We thought we could just call it Rob Schmidt tonight again,
just have.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
It's just the Rob Network. Maybe we should rename news Max.
That's the that's the issue here.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
You're onto something there. So I've been on the morning
show and you've been on, you know, a million times
for four years, and I you know, I've absolutely loved it.
I've done fourteen years in a row. This is calendar
year fourteen of Tiow and Tutor. It's just not it's
just not healthy to do it for that long. I
you know, I think it's one of those things where
your whole life is recalibrated around getting up at three
(01:52):
thirty in the morning. Yeah, so that will change. But
this is you know, I'm I feel I'm so grateful
to the network. I feel incredibly last I'm grateful to
the you know, Chris Ruddy forgive me the opportunity and
I just to do it now, you know, launch this
show thirty days from the election. You know, what an
opportunity and what a moment to actually get this thing started.
(02:15):
So I'm very, very excited, and I hope you'll come on.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I will, and we are excited for you. Congratulations. Honestly,
when we got the news in the office, everybody was.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Like, that was the best decision. It's so exciting.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
So I know that you've been doing the morning show
for a long time, but it's honestly an amazing show.
So I fully expect the eight PM show to be
phenomenal and I have no doubts. I don't even have
to worry about it because I know you're that good.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Thank you, Toodor. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Thank you absolutely.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
But now since you are like the main primetime host,
you're going to have to give me the download on
what you think of this debate because this is like
your new life. Now you've got to go through all
of these things in great detail. So we just had
this jd Vance Tim Walls debate. A lot of people
came out of it and they were like, jd Vance
overwhelmingly won this debate. You have some interesting feelings about it,
(03:05):
which I love. I want you to share them.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Well, I think so jd Vance won the debate, and
the dynamic between these two was on display for ninety minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
JD.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Van is a brilliant guy, like he is just objectively
an incredibly smart guy, even though it was three on
one again, Yep, moderators, I never thought I would like
Nora O'Donnell more than whoever she's sitting next to. Don't
forget she just lost her job. Yes, dude, right, so.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Funny though too, That's exactly how I felt. I totally mean,
get what you mean.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
But Margaret Brennan was she was the female David Muir
last night. But JD. Vance is so smart and so quick,
and he has such a firm grasp on the information
and the facts that when she fact checked him, he
fact checked her back, and he was right in the moment.
And I'm thinking to myself, So, David Muir three weeks
(04:01):
ago does the Kamala Trump debate. He's lost a million
viewers a night. We talked about it on Newsmax. Right
after a million viewers a night, twenty five percent of
his audience has abandoned his show because he was so
clearly biased and obviously conservatives and Republicans and people that
are going to vote for Donald Trump. On November fifth,
also watched the nightly news, so he alienated half of
(04:24):
his audience, which was such a stupid business decision. And
I thought, going in the last night, the moderator said,
we're not going to be biased, and I was like,
you know what, maybe they won't be. Margaret Brennan has
a show every Sunday, Faced the Nation on CBS, and
what did she do last night? Her her bias was
on display, and she alienated half of her audience. And
I guarantee you, Now, obviously I don't think her audience
(04:45):
is fifty percent Kamala voters and fifty percent Trump voters,
but on a Sunday it should be. I guarantee you
her ratings take a hit. And I was just her.
The moderators during all of these debates, except for that
CNN debate that essentially did Joe Biden's political career with
Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, except for that debate, have
been they have been so grossly biased. But I thought, yeah,
(05:09):
did a great job last night, and I thought he
was likable.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yes, I agree, I think one of the points that
you're making is interesting. But behind the scenes, you and
I see how you kind of get pulled into your
own corner in these media companies where it's like, Okay,
this is we all feel this way, and then you
can just sort of spend that time in your own
bubble and forget about the independence. And I think that
(05:32):
the leftist media has totally forgotten about independence. And so
when I'm listening to her last night and seeing her
say to Tim Walls, Okay, the Senator just said this
about you, wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You like to respond to that? It was like she
knew he wasn't.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Going to fact check Jade Vans, He wasn't going to
go back and say anything. She was coaching him all
the way along. And you could very clearly see that
that baked and biased. They couldn't get rid of it.
They live it in the bubble. They could not welcome
the independence. And I'm curious today what Independence thought of that,
if they recognized it and it was annoying to them,
(06:08):
because for me, it was very annoying.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
So Politico had a piece this morning where they were
criticizing jd Vance for having a beard and saying that
that will turn off particularly suburban white women. Read that
at five in the morning, I said, there it is
jd Vance won the debate. If Politico is talking about
his beard. By the way, Abraham likeke and had a beard,
he was a pretty good president. Right. If they are
(06:32):
criticizing his beard, that means that the substance of what
he had to say. Last night, forty million Americans watched,
and I think people are that don't know he's only
been a senator for two years, and people that haven't
watched Hillbilly Elgi. And by the way, if you're on
the fence about Jade Vance, go to Netflix. It's still
one of the top ten trending movies. Watch Hill Billy
Elge and you'll like him more. But last night jd
(06:55):
Vance reintroduced himself to the American people. And I think
for people that heard no he's weird and this childless
cat Ladies comment from two months ago, I think they
watched this guy last night. He's in an interracial marriage,
his wife usha beautiful, he's got three beautiful kids, and
he seemed like the kind of guy. And I know
it's folksy and people used to say this about George
(07:16):
Bush and other candidates, but he's the kind of guy
you want to sit down and have a beer with.
Last night, watching Tim Walls, who was the weirdo on stage?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Oh, I know, you know, I mean he wasn't rude.
I will give him that.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Like when I watched the first debate with Trump and Kamala, right,
I guess we should call it the second debate with
Trump and Kamala, I thought she was very rude, the
eye rolling, the facial expressions. He didn't come off rude.
He came off nervous and like he didn't know what
he was going to say. But it's funny that they
said that about the beard because we all commented on
how his hair had just been chopped off. Walls had
(07:49):
like no hair, it was all slicked back. He looked
like a fresh baby, and it was not his regular look,
you know. So we're like, this is very awkward that
he came out as a totally different.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
That's really funny. So no one on the set this
morning seemed to notice that. But Walls, I thought when
he was introduced as the running bait in August at
the d n C, I was like, Okay, he kind
of looks the part. He looked good in his suit,
his hair. To your point, I think his hair was
he was between haircuts, not just coming off a haircut
where he said take it all off, and he lost
(08:23):
a little weight before that debut. I thought he looked
better back at the DNC. And look, this is you know,
especially a visual medium like television, it matters. Jd Vance taller,
looks sharp, he's he's slimmed down since, you know, since
he became the nominee a little bit, and that stuff
makes a diffence. Tutor, I thought the same thing. I thought,
Waltz kind of looked terrible last night. And I don't
know who's cutting his hair. Maybe it's his wife, but
(08:45):
it was it was not a good haircut. And I
think right before debate, I always say, okay, so I'm
launching the show on Newsmax next Tuesday, Right, so I
already got my haircut.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
You're right, exactly. See, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Guys cannot go out on the first day of the
haircut because it looks very short.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's what happened. I mean, it had to have been
the first day of the haircut.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
He got it that morning. Yeah, he's right, Yeah, it
was bad. No, And I thought, look, I thought jd
Vance just kind of ran circles around him all night.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It sort of makes me think that before the debate
was sort of like when I you have to remember
I have four kids, but it reminded me of that
scene and Beauty and the Beast where they're like brushing
out his beard and curling it and clipping his nails
and everything.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Did that happen to Tim Walls right before?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And then they were like, oh, no, you're not Tim
Walls anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, I kind of like that Wild Professor look.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
You know, yeah, yeah, Tim Walls before.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And the after was not the Wild.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
The actor was not good. The beast at least looked good.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You know, and he was a beast.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
He wasn't comfortable in that outfit the Beast clearly, you know.
But here looking right, you look better at the end
of the movie than they're dancing. I've never seen that movie, Tutor.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh yes, obviously I have two little.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Kids too, so I'm right there at Disney. Plus they
watched a couple of movies, you know, on a loop.
But no, I think that so jd vance prepared with
Tom Emmer it was a Minnesota congressman, just to sort
of help him with the Minnesota nice and kind of
the hokey folksiness that Waltz hass, you know, sort of
(10:18):
become known for. Look, Waltz telegraphed the media that he
was nervous before, which I think was a clear tactic
to try and set the bar low. That's what I
thought going into it. And then I watched and I said, no,
he actually is nervous. He is nervous. He was nervous
for ninety minutes. I think he got stronger as the
night went on, but the first thirty minutes for Tim Waltz,
it was a disaster. I thought it was brilliant. Jason
(10:39):
Miller was on the show this morning and he told
us that he made it very clear to jd Vance
that he should no matter what the first question is,
he should take They have two minutes to respond to questions.
Take at least thirty seconds and reintroduce yourself to the
American people. Jd Vance did that. He said, Look, I'm
a father of three, been married for ten years, served
our country after nine to eleven, was deployed to Iraq,
(11:02):
and he gave a little bit of his backstory and
I thought that was brilliant. And then he gave a
tremendous answer and the question was about Iran and Tim Walls.
It's difficult for Tim Walls because he has to campaign
against his running mates policies. People forget that Kamala is
the sitting vice president. He has to actively campaign against
(11:22):
everything that the now Harris Biden administration has gotten us
into over the last four years. And people should think
about that when they go and vote.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah. I thought it was interesting because I think that
he was doing that, he was introducing himself and then
Walls tried to emulate that and he was like, Okay,
I can do this too. And then he started talking
about that twenty five thousand dollars and he said, you know,
I had a veteran home loan, and the veterans don't
have to pay a down payment. And that's why we
think this is so great because we can offer that
(11:52):
to everybody. And it was really striking to me because
I wondered how veterans took that. Veterans give up a
lot to have that. You know, that is like, hey,
this is because this is what you get because you
gave your life to us, and yet they want to
just give it to anybody and people who maybe haven't
done the best to save And I think that's you
(12:15):
fall into a few different issues. And this is where
I think oftentimes Democrats are shortsighted because you fall into
a few different issues when you give away free money.
First of all, you give me away free money for
a house, Well, people are going to raise the cost
of houses. You also have a situation where if this
person needed the down payment, can they pay the mortgage?
And then do we end up with another housing bubble
(12:37):
on a crash. These are all the things that we
didn't hear any answers from, and we certainly didn't hear
the moderator saying well, but how are you going to
do that?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Right? Yeah, there were very few follow up questions. Tim
Walls didn't get a single question about stolen valor, and
they're not accusations. Tim Waals has claimed that he's an
E nine, a command Master sergeant the Army National Guide.
It's a lot he's an E eight, and there wasn't
a single question about that, which I was. I was
sort of stunned. I thought that China question was very
(13:08):
revealing because he just lied. With Tim Walls, everything he
says is a lie. With Kamala, she will say anything
to get elected. So these are two people that are
not Kamala. Democrats always do this, and you know this
as somebody who's been a politician. They always tack back
to the center or even center right when it is
(13:31):
election season, and then once they're elected, they go right
back to being way to the left, especially Kamala. Right now,
you think about no tax on tips. She literally lasts Friday.
So less than a week ago, went to Arizona and
walked by the Trump border wall. You know, last night,
Tim Wall said the Trump only built four percent of
the wall. He built five hundred miles of wall, okay,
(13:52):
and he bought all the material to buy the rest
of it. He didn't get reelected in twenty twenty or
that process would have continued, but he still built five
hundred miles of water. And thank goodness we have that
five hundred miles a wall because it's in the most
it's in the busiest areas for a legal crossing.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I think that you saw a Tim Walls who was lying,
but he was also not just lying.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
He was admitting.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I mean he came out and said, oh I can
be a knucklehead sometimes, and I thought, I don't want
a knucklehead. I mean, it's a word that I really think. Man,
a knucklehead is someone who makes a massive mistake and
you just you can't trust a knucklehead.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
It's just an interesting term.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And I get that was folks see and I get
that was Midwestern, but ultimately it wasn't something that builds trust.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
But he's never going to get called on it.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I mean, I appreciate the fact that they went back
and they said, but you didn't tell the truth here
or did you?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Can you clarify that?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And he really struggled, and I think that he totally
bombed that answer instead of coming out insane. I mean,
and it was just it was weird because he's like, well,
I was there during the season of the protest, but
I'm a knucklehead. Sometimes I wanted to dig in a
little deeper. What is your connection to China? And then
he threw out he had this weird thing where he
just kind of went in circles and he threw out, Trump,
(15:15):
shit have gone to China. And none of the media said,
I mean, neither of the moderators said a darn thing
about it. They and they didn't push back on him.
But you were talking to me the other day about
how twisted the media is and how people are starting
to shift over, and I think that's true. I mean,
you know, we were at a diner this morning and
(15:35):
it was on one of the morning shows that came out,
and there were Harris supporters there. And I know that
they were there because they wanted to get their flag
out there. But I also think there is somewhat there's
somewhat of a curiosity now and we see people going
to Newsmax, and we see people coming over and in
our state, you know, we we have an organization called
(15:56):
a news site called The Midwesterner and it's been amazing.
In just a year's time since The Midwesterner has been
up and offering the full story, the traffic it just
gets higher and higher and higher every month. And I'm like,
I do believe people are saying, Okay, what's the truth.
And I will say I sat down with these women
this morning and we talked about, well, do you really
(16:19):
want to be the party that supports war? And they're like,
our party doesn't support war, and I said, but you
have to admit it somewhat strange when you see the
governor of a state, bring it the president of a
warring nation into his state and sign bombs that will
be dropped on women and children. And they had never
they didn't. They said that video is not real. No,
(16:39):
it is real.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
That video is real. I had. Rick Cornell was in studio.
Rick Renell severy that's being talked about is maybe the
next secretary of State if Trump gets elected. Okay, he
was former director National Intelligence, ambassador to Germany for three
years US ambassador, and he was like, if Shapiro, don't
forget a lot of the prominent candidates that we heard about.
If Joe Biden to drop out of the race, you know,
(17:01):
people like Michigan's own Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsom and
Josh Shapiro and even Hillary Clinton then Michelle Obama. You
don't really hear much from Gavin and Shapiro when it
comes to campaigning for Kamala. You want to know why
this is.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
They don't want her to win.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
They want if Trump wins, they want the runway clear
for twenty Otherwise, theoretically, we could be looking at another
eight years of Democrats in the White House. Kamala could
run and win again. In twenty twenty eight, if Ronald
Trump wins, it's four years and then it's an open
race on both sides four years from now. Gavin doesn't
(17:38):
like Kamala. I interviewed Willy Brown and San Francisco asked
him about that, and Willy Brown gave me a look
that you know, it's worth a million, a thousand words.
He was basically like, yeah, those two don't get along
anymore because Gavin thinks he was stepped over, and Gavin
thinks that he's he's the next guy for the White
House for the Democrats, Josh Shapiro. That's probably why Kamala
didn't choose Josh Shapiro. But Grenell said that one video
(18:01):
of Shapiro signing a bomb to kill Russians in Pennsylvania
that will impact him when he does run for president,
whether it's in twenty eight or thirty two or whenever.
But no, it's it blows my mind some of what's
going on right now and just the media deception. And
(18:22):
I think four years ago, which is tutor not that
long ago, but think about what we have now and
what the American people have available to them that they
did not have four years ago. Certainly in twenty sixteen
and every election before that, your podcast, this podcast, the
Tutor Dickson Podcast did not exist. Think about other prominent
conservative Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson's podcast, Megan Kelly, the Jerry
(18:46):
Callahan Show. There are so many different places for people
to go to get the truth. Newsmax four years ago
we did not have a full day of programming. Now
fourth biggest network in the country, and we're beating CA
down on a daily basis, which if you work at CNN,
that is sad because we've been around for Newsmacks itself
has been around for a long time, but as a
(19:07):
twenty four to seven cable news network, it's been about
four years compared to CNN forty year head start and
a billion dollar budget. That's embarrassing. If you're Jake Tapper
in you're I think that.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I think CNN has tried so hard to go back
to being in the middle, but they can't because all
of the young generation that's coming out of journalism school
today and going into the control rooms, they keep pulling
them left. They keep pulling them left. But it's funny
to me because you watch like a Chris Cuomo who
gets fired. It's like after people get fired, suddenly they
(19:40):
start to see things a little differently. And you see
him talking and I'm like, why didn't you see this
four years ago? You know, when you were telling us
all to wear masks and to get the shot and
that we are all horrible people if we didn't. And
there were people like the folks at Newsmax who were saying,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
We still believe in individual liberty.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
We still believe that you get to make choices in
your own life. And people said, I identify with what
is truly American. And I think that was the turn
I think that was the turning point for so many things.
And that's what I even when I hear RFK come
into Michigan and talk about the pharmaceuticals and the big
(20:21):
food and all of these chemicals that are in our
foods that we don't even know about.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I think COVID was a.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Big turning point for people to start seeking out other information.
Because when you have a lifelong democrat, I want to
come out and say, oh no them, well there you go.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
COVID for me was that was what that crystallized everything
for me. I was you know, I'm an Irish Catholic
from Cape Cod, mass born and raised, you know, ten
miles away from the Kennedy compound. I'd say almost everyone
in my family except for my parents are are Massachusetts Democrats,
which is different from your standard Democrat, say a California Democrat.
(21:00):
They read the Boston Globe, they watch CNN. It's the
indoctrination is beyond belief and it's ingrained culturally up there.
You find a Republican in mass I'll tell you what.
Hold on to them because it might be the only
one you find. There's just not a lot of them
up there. But I lived in Florida during the beginning
of COVID, and I saw the differences between the way
Ron DeSantis handled things and the way that Charlie Baker
(21:22):
and then Mara Healy, the governor of mass Choose's handle things.
My parents were like, hey, come up and visit us.
You know, my parents are in their seventies, right, they
want to see their grandkids and see myself and my wife.
My siblings all called me individually, and I'm one of four,
and they all said, look, you know, you guys in
Florida are like radioactive. We don't want you like bringing
COVID and I was like, I don't have to.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I still go to the studio every day, so I
get tested all the time, Like if I'm sick, I
won't come, but you know, we want to come see
you guys, And they wouldn't let us. My parents were
the only ones that were like, come, please join us.
And that's when I was like, wait a second, Like
something's not on the level here. You know something is
not on the level. And I Tutor, when you think
about the media and you think about what you do
(22:03):
every day on your show, the test of November fifth
is these two candidates going against each other, the big
liar which is Kamala Harris, and then Donald Trump. And
we've got a record to look back when it comes
to Donald Trump. So everything you've heard about him is crap.
Look back at his record. Okay, you've got a four
year presidency you can look back at if you want
to know what Donald Trump will do, might do what
(22:23):
he stands for. It's pretty clear. Right with Commay, You've
got somebody sixty eight days now has yet to do
a press conference, has yet to do a press conference.
After Tutor, the greatest coup in political our political lifetimes.
At the White House in late July, Friday, Joe Biden
made a speech said that I'm still the candidate. I'm
still very much running. Sunday he was out of the race,
(22:44):
and by Monday afternoon, Kamala had coalesced all power around her.
No one has ever asked her about it. What happened?
What did she know about Joe Biden's helf? When did
she know it? Why didn't she speak up? These are
the questions of our time, and people are going to vote.
People are already voting in some states, and they don't
have answers to those questions. So also on the line
(23:06):
November fifth is the power of the dominant media ABC, CBS,
NBC and their subsidiaries MSNBC and CNN as well. We
will find out how much the Tutor Dickson podcast, how
much Newsmax, how much impact alternative independent media is really having.
You know, millions of people watch me every single week.
Does it actually impact the way people vote on November
(23:28):
the fifth? For me, that is as equal a test
as which candidate wins, And we will find out a lot.
If Trump wins, the power of alternative media will continue
to rise. If he loses, that is a notch on
the belt for the dominant media who have gas lit
and I think that word is overused, but they have
gas lit the American public to an unbelievably outrageous degree
for the last three months, but also the last four years.
(23:49):
They told us Joe was okay four years ago. He's
got Alzheimer's, He's got dementia. Once he leaves office, we'll
find out what the formal diagnosis is. But he is
not okay upstairs. And we are on the verge of
World War three in the Middle East. Look at what
happened with Iron and Israel yesterday. Okay, We've got fifty
thousand dock workers striking from the Gulf coast to Maine.
And we've got a hurricane where Donald Trump's on the
(24:10):
ground in Georgia two days ago. He's going to North
Carolina on Friday. Where is Kamala? Where is Joe Biden? Today?
We heard that Joe Biden was going to get an
aerial view of the damage and devastation in western North
Carolina from Air Force One. Like George Bush after Katrina.
The difference Kamala is running for president. George Bush had
already won re election, so that was a mistake, but
they're about to make the same mistake again. They should
(24:32):
be on the ground. One hundred and fifty five Americans
have died. That number will go up by the time
I'm on the air tomorrow, by the time we're off
the air right now. It is unbelievable what's going on
in our.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Sopolty the hurricane thing. It really disturbs me because I
think that that's the greatest exposure of the media yet
because they don't want to talk about it because of
what you just said, because Kamala is not there, because
she doesn't have an answer, because there hasn't been a
quick enough response, because people keep dying every single day,
and there are still people trapped in my gosh, six
days in they're saying we found a family trapped in
(25:05):
their house and actually saved them. They were actually still alive.
We're still in recovery efforts. But pretty soon it's going
to be a whole different story. And she has not
come out, she has not done a press conference. I mean,
how can you not do a press conference on this?
And there is no Joe Biden. Let's just be honest
about that. People were saying, oh, he's I mean, even
(25:28):
Karine Jean Pierre said they took phone calls. I'm like, oh,
so we're admitting now they're phoning this in. I mean,
give me a break. You're taking phone calls in the
midst of a disaster. And I was just thinking this
morning about how Katrina was such a big deal. Everybody
knew and for months we followed it and it was
the most heartbreaking scenario we could have imagined. And here
(25:49):
we are right back there, and I feel like the
media is not talking about it because they want their
person to get into power. How did we get to
a point where the media stops talking about the people
who desperately need help, who are trapped, and the people
who will die not because they're trapped, but because they
have no water and they have no food.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's Donald Trump is not the commander in chief right now,
all right. He's a private citizen running for president. He's
not a senator. Jade Vance is a senator. Tim Wallas
is the governor. Kamala is the current vice president. Donald
Trump has done more in the last five days since
this terrible, horrific hurricane hit the Big Bend in Florida
(26:32):
and made its way north into the Tennessee Valley in
Georgia and the western part of North Carolina and South Carolina.
He's got to go fund me where he's raising millions
of dollars. And you might say, well, that's not a
lot of money. The federal government gave the people, the
victims of the Maui wildfires seven hundred bucks per household.
All right, tutor, you've got four kids seven hrd bucks.
(26:53):
That's two weeks of groceries at best. Federal government. Last
week President Zelenskia Ukraine was at the un He was
signing bombs in Pennsylvania, campaigning for Kamala and Tim And
he got eight hundred billion dollars. That's what he left.
That's what he left America with, eight hundred million dollars.
So here we are. Donald Trump talked to Elon Musk
(27:14):
about Starlink. Elon Musk endorsed Trump after he was shot
the first time. July thirteenth. Butler, Pennsylvania and Elon Musk
focused a Starlink satellite over Ashville, North Carolina, and I
interviewed somebody this morning in Ashville. On the ground, you
could see the flooding and devastation behind his house, and
he was able to connect with us via Skype because
(27:36):
of what Elon Musk is doing. So a former president,
who of course wants to be president again in thirty
four days, is doing more than our commander in chief
Joe Biden, who, by the way, when you say he's
at the beach, that used to be like a figurative insult.
You'd be like, oh, met at o. This past weekend
he was literally sitting on the beach in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
That's our adult, atrophied, calcified, eighty two year old commander
(27:59):
in chief. But Kamala is not okay. And what has
she done today? Nothing, she's done. She went to FEMA headquarters,
which is the epitome of mailing it in. If you
go to FEMA headquarters in Washington, DC, she should be
wearing waiters. She should be on the ground in Nashville
and Georgia. She should be there right now, and she's not.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Imagine your boss has a crisis and you don't show up.
I mean, because she works for the people they're in crisis,
and she just didn't show I'll.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Say it's oh, you know, if she goes it's political, fine,
but it matters.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
All right, it met yes, I mean, and that's what
Governor Huckabee said. He came out and he said, look,
and in a crisis like this, it's not about a
political operative or a photo op. This is about making
sure that people know that the Vice president and the
President of the United States see you and understand how
important it is. And you keep the focus there, you
keep the supplies coming, you keep the story going, You
(28:56):
make sure people don't forget. And a lot of this
is neighbors helping neighbors. That's the beauty about the United
States of America, and neighbors need to know there's a problem,
and that's how you keep that story going. I mean,
but they failed in Hawaii, they failed in East Palestine,
they're failing here. Why would we continue to go with this?
And I think that your point about the media, and
(29:16):
I just want to say this. I know we're getting
close to over time, but I just want to say this.
Your point about the media is so critical because it's
not it's beyond gaslighting. I mean, gosh, we had an
article I went out and campaigned with jd Vance and
Newsweek writes an article about me that it's just a
complete hit piece and a complete lie, and we send
(29:39):
them a documentations saying this is how you're totally lied
about me. I'm not even a candidate, doesn't matter. They
can do whatever they want to the Republicans, and there
is nobody on the other side coming to your defense
until we suddenly have the Newsmax's and the Midwesterners and
all of these places where people can go and say,
(29:59):
wh cow, they're fully lying about these people. But it's
really hard once you have somebody that people believe is
a credible source write a hip piece on you. And
that's what Donald Trump has dealt with since day one.
So I hope that you're right that now people will
say I have a podcast to go to I can
I can hear from the person directly, and that's what
I love about this podcast. Like you, you can send
(30:21):
me messages, send me ideas, email me, ask me questions,
we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You can find out who I really am.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
That was kind of the interesting part about my day
today when I sat down with the Kamala Harris supporters
and the one woman said to me, I really I
really didn't like you, and she was like, you're more
of a person than I thought you were. And I
think it was so striking because I'm like, yeah, that's
the thing. We're not people. You know, they don't think
of politicians as people anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
But I have kids.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I loved the fact that they shared with me, they
told me their stories changed my mind on things. I
don't know that I changed their mind on things. But
we came together as neighbors, not as people from different parties.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
The media wants us to believe that we are a
nation divided with nothing in common, and we're at war
with each other. And it's the furthest thing from the truth.
America is still the greatest country on the planet and
I see it. I see it every day. But the
media doesn't want you to think that. And when you
go and vote, just consider that you're also voting for
the power of the dominant media. And we have to
(31:23):
end this. We have to take their power away. And
I'm just back to the hurricane thing. Twenty twelve, Barack Obama,
Superstorm Sandy, it hits. He is three weeks away from
the election with Mitt Romney, and the polls were tight.
You know, Obama won, but the polls were tight three
weeks out. He was on the ground in New Jersey
forty eight hours later, okay, And people said, yeah, it
(31:44):
was political, but people needed to see him, needed to
see him. Even if you just go and you know,
shake some hands. You know, Cansole residents be the empathizer
in chief. That stuff matters, and people like Kamala Harris
don't get that, and the brain trust of absolute abject
amateurs around her every day will never get it.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
But you know, he was on the ground with Chris Christie,
and I think that those images of and I think
that was actually why people came out of the debate
last night and went ow, they aren't awful because they
complimented each other, they agreed on certain things. They showed
us that America does not hate each other. We're not
constantly screaming at each other and lobbing insults at one another.
(32:27):
It doesn't have to be that way. But that was
that moment for Barack Obama. He was there with the
Republican they put everything aside and said the American people
come first. And I think that was really a moment
where people went, I want someone that will put everything
aside and put the American people first.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
It's more meaningful than you know.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Totally might doomed Chris Christie, though politically.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
He consumed himself with other things.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
He was yes, you know, with that slabbering hug on
the tarmac. Republicans were like, okay, just shake hands Chris.
You know.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Right, I don't know that Chris is a true conservative.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, it's one of the Chris Christie, by the way,
he should have run in twenty twelve, like, yeah, run
when it's your moment.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yes, totally, you're so right.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Run and if you fast sale, but run when it's
your moment. He was like, oh, I'll run in twenty sixteen,
and then along came Donald.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon podcast. It's funny because that's what everybody says.
Politics is a little is a lot of timing and
a little bit of luck, and it's hard to know
what the timing is. But he definitely ran at the
wrong time. And I don't know what his deal was
this year. I think this year was just to lob bombs.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
He was just that guy that he just wanted to
come in and break stuff and it didn't work. I
don't think it worked for anybody. I don't think it.
I don't think it had the effect he thought it
would have with independence either. So I don't know if
someone was backing him to do that, but I guess
I doubt he'll run again.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
No, I doubt it too, and I just today. So
it's a moment in time right to seal a line
from Kamala. But right now, thirty four days out, I
am exceptionally optimistic and bullish about Donald Trump's chances on
election day. If you asked me the same question six
weeks ago, I don't think i'd give you the same answer.
(34:19):
But it's all about winning news cycles now, and it
seems like Trump vance are stringing together win after win
after win, which makes a big, big difference.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
It has been such a rollercoaster, honestly, say, I'm like,
there are days when I'm like, oh my gosh, this
is getting so bad, and then I'm all, well, look
at that. And you know, last night I felt like, oh,
you finally get to meet jd. Vant and you finally
get to see who he is. And I'm so glad
that people get to actually connect to him in some way.
And I thought that was incredibly powerful. But I do
(34:52):
think that there have been moments in time her interviews
have been so weird.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
She did a.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Great job at prosecuting in the debate, and I think
that people walked away from that and they were like, man,
she powerfully went after him.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
But she's a prosecutor, she knew the case. She didn't
have depth beyond that.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
And then when she started to go out and do
the interviews, people would ask her something. She'd come out
with that, Oh, I was raised in the middle class.
And she did it again just two days ago. I
saw her doing that. I'm like, have you not seen
the memes? Like why are you still saying that? And
answering questions with that? But she has sunk her own
campaign by having no depth. I mean, know the job
(35:36):
you're interviewing for and literally you're the runner up now
in office? How could you be so poor at this.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Interesting She's been the most hermetically sealed candidate that I've
ever and I'm including Joe Biden all right, he campaigned
for the basement in twenty twenty. Joe was out there
more than Kamala. And there's no pandemic right now. Okay,
that's what we're dealing with, and Tutor, seventy million people
will still vote for this woman. There are yard signs
in Miami, Connecticut. There are yard signs in my neighborhood.
(36:04):
It says Harris Waltz Comma obviously, And I just feel
like knocking on the door and saying, ma'am sir, with
all due respect, you can support Kambala, Harris and Tim Waltz,
but not obviously, Okay. I think it's the furthest thing
from obviously.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Okay, But okay, But to your point about the media, Look,
if you had Ron DeSantis out there signing bombs, Donald
Trump would not take a step without the media saying
do you support this? Do you support being a warmonger?
Are you a warmonger? Do you support the war? Are
you making money off of the war? That would be
all you would hear. And I have not heard a
(36:39):
single peep from the media saying we don't do this.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Wait like we.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Want to sign peace treaties, we don't want to sign bombs,
we don't support have I mean this is at this point,
you are funding to keep the war going. That's and
you're openly signing your name to keeping the war going
because there is no discussion, there is no diploma see
going on, and there's not even an attempt at it.
You don't see any leadership coming out of Washington other
(37:05):
than saying, we're signing a blank check. We're gonna send
it over. And now it's not just we're signing a
blank check, we're signing the bombs themselves. We're so proud
of this, it's unheard of. I mean when I said
this to these women today, they were absolutely horrified.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
We are not the party of war.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
I'm like, well, actually, you are the party of war.
And the Republicans have become the party of the middle class.
In the eighties, they call them Reagan Democrats, and then
when Bill Clinton ran, they reverted back to form and
voted for Bill Clinton twice. And they haven't snapped back
in twenty sixteen a little bit, including in your state
of Michigan. I think it's happening right now. I think
(37:41):
it's clear that Republicans are the party of the middle class.
If you think about Trump meeting with Zelensky on Friday
at Trump Tower, they came out and addressed the media
for five minutes after Zelensky didn't look happy, but why
should he? He knows that if Trump wins, the gravy
train comes to an end and our hearts break for
the people of Ukraine. But three years ago, when Putin
(38:03):
invaded Ukraine February twenty two, I'd say ninety percent of
Americans couldn't find Ukraine in a map if you ask
them to three years later, this is calendar year three
of this war. If you pulled down that same map
and had people try to find Ukraine, I've been ninety
percent of Americans couldn't find Ukraine. And what's at stake
right now is a region in the east called the Dombas.
And Trump has said, look, you know, maybe we have
a ceasefire in Ukraine and Russia keeps the land. It's
(38:25):
god now, and we go from there. But what's the alternative?
We just keep going and going. Russia's got more nuclear
weapons than any country on the planet. What comes after that?
Are we going to risk it all for Ukraine?
Speaker 2 (38:36):
You know? Or Russia connected with China, connected with Iran,
connected with North Korea. I mean, I say this all
the time. I'm like, we're not we have no leadership,
and there's no one coming. When America falls, there's no
one to save us. We don't get to just sleep
on the beach for four years. You've got to be
engaged in every conversation, in every decision, and I don't
(38:59):
feel confident that she can be engaged. Walls multiple times
last night was like why I don't know federal law?
Why don't know federal law? Like, dude, you were a congressman.
Where where were you when you were a congressman? Think
what do you mean? Yeah, and you have two people
that are like, this is the job we want. We'll
figure it out when we get there. No thanks, no thanks,
you should know it now. And she's there and she
(39:20):
has not done any of this. So I think it
was I think that's what's been powerful, and that's what's
turning the tide in Trump's direction. And I just am
anxious to see November fifth. But then the years following that,
obviously there will be a lot of attacks on him.
But you know, if he can bring back peace, if
he can get more peace agreements sign, what are they
(39:41):
going to do, right, They'll have nothing.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, think about the Abraham Courts. By the way, So
we've got this union strike, fifty thousand doc workers, right,
Mayor Pete is the Transportation Secretary. Yeah, but he's been
hunkered down, sequestered with Tim Walls for the last ten
days doing debate prep. Pete, maybe keep your eye the
ball a little bit, Maybe focus on preventing a strike
(40:03):
which could literally bring down the Democratic Party a couple
weeks before the election.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
But bring down the country right right.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
I mean think about it. It's the holiday season. Goods
things are going to be impacted starting this week. All right.
There are right now like eighteen ships anchored off the
board of New Jersey that should be you know, coming
in and delivering what they have. They're not, which is
bad timing for Kamala again, so is this hurricane. But Pete,
what are you doing? Like where are you right now?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
And it will you will start to see it slowly,
but you're right when it comes to Christmas and you
can't get the toys, you can't get the close. It
all comes over on ships this and it's coming now.
All of it comes now, everything that is for the season.
The Christmas season comes now so again covid all over again.
(40:51):
You'll suddenly see Christmas ornaments coming out in February because
they just finally got shipped over here. This is catastrophic
and it's probably not getting enough attention, and we could
do a whole nother podcast on that. So as this goes,
as we see more about the strike, we should talk
about it more because I do think I watch this
and I'm like, man, these are some of the best
(41:11):
paid working people in the country. They were offered a
fifty percent increase. Now they're demanding eighty. They're negotiating with
Buddha Judge's department and he's not nowhere to be found,
and he's not saying boo about an eighty percent increase. Yeah,
we'd all love that. But also if that happens, if
(41:32):
the increase goes that high, which is not reflective of
what the American people are getting the cost of goods,
it's just going to go even higher.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Inflation will rise.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I mean, all of this has an effect, and we
are hearing nothing from this administration. And if it were
the other way around, that media that we've been talking
about would be all down Donald Trump's throat every day.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
What are you gonna do, What are you gonna do,
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (41:55):
I would love to see an honest media and I'll
just close by saying, you remember after that first debate
June twenty seventh, Joe Biden Donald Trump, the media started
doing their jobs for about three weeks and they got
Joe out and then they went back to doing what
they've been doing for the last four years, and that's
(42:17):
carrying the water for the Biden Harris now Harris Biden administration.
But that little glimpse of an honest media. They were
saying things, Tutor, and you've been coming on for three years.
They were saying things that you and I have talked
about for the last three years. Three years ago, they
called us heretics. They were like, oh, those guys over
on Newsmax, they're crazy, right, crazy like a fox. We
(42:39):
were right, we were right. Yep.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Well, and thankfully we have a new addition to the
eight pm hour with Finnerty. So I'm I can't wait
to watch it.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Thanks Tudor, appreciate it.
