Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. You've probably heard Democrats
across the country totally freaking out about USAID because now
suddenly we have Donald Trump's administration looking into it, and
it turns out they don't really want to fund some
of the things that USAID is funding. And we probably
didn't actually know what USAID was funding, because if we did,
(00:22):
the majority of US would come out and say, why
are our taxpayer dollars going to this? And that question
then leads to why are democrats so upset about US
wanting to defund some of these programs? And so to
figure this out, I'm bringing in Tony Kinnitt. He is
an investigative columnist for The Daily Signal and a radio
host at WIBC in Indianapolis. Tony, thank you for joining me.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Tutor, absolutely so tell us you've been investigating this whole situation.
It's very weird to me that everybody is so up
in arms about this and trying to protect it, because
I feel like it's kind of like the Wizard of
when you pull back the curtain, it's something really weird
behind it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So let's go in reverse. Let's talk about optics. So
the Republicans are, supposedly, according to the legacy media, which
has lost a considerable amount of influence, by which I
mean almost all of its influence over the American public.
Right now, the optics of the situation really demand from
the opposition party to act calm, collected and just point.
(01:24):
If you think, really truly that the Republicans are doing
something terrible and evil and awful and crazy, then just
like Trump was supposed to do during the Biden administration,
you simply point and the American people go, oh, wow,
you're right, you are so much better than what's currently
going on. But they're not. Instead, they're getting out in
front of the country and they're screaming we're at war
and fight on the streets and all of this other
(01:47):
insane stuff. I mean, actually clipping out their own microphones
outside of the Treasury Building, screeching in the changing sory.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Wait, let me just stop you for a second, because
we I think we have that clip, so let's play that.
People know, I mean, this is kind of a mashup
of a bunch of these people doing this, So here
it is, and then we'll get back to it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
To our Republican colleagues, if you do not see the light,
we will bring the fire.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Who is this?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We are gonna be in your faith, We are gonna
be on your asses.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
We have days to stop the destruction of our democracy.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
We have work to do.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Tell Elon Musk to take his hands off your money.
We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy twenty two year
olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the
United States of America.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Hey, goddamn is shut down the city. We are war.
We will win.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
We will win, we will we will rest.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
We won't rest.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
There's so much to.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Unpact there, I mean, besides the cringe that actually stooped
my posture. Let me just pick that back up again here,
I mean, my goodness, the embarrassed. I do want to
point out that, and I mentioned that this morning, that
they are acting in a way that reeks of guilt,
of shame and desperation. And what do they have to have,
you know, such guilt and shame and desperation over these
(03:12):
are simply financial disbursements that have been revealed to the
American people. That's it. They're angry about the freezing of
the fund, Sure, but what they're mostly upset about, as
they have consistently shown, is that these funding programs have
gone towards the most abysmally un American things in entirely
un American places. I mean, from spreading atheism in Nepal
(03:37):
literally quote expand atheism end quote in Nepal to dei
musicals in Ireland. There are so many of these that
the list is growing. My producer right now, in real time,
is actually adding additional things we're finding to the Google
document that I'm reading from on things that the US
AID program has coughed up money for over the last
(03:58):
ten years. And you go back even further and it
just gets worse as time goes on. So they're embarrassed
because it looks like the swamp rhetoric was entirely correct
the entire time. This is easily the biggest money laundering
scheme in US history, if not in world history.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
So you say money laundering, let's get into that, because
I just heard those Democrats freaking out and saying, tell
Elon Musk to get his hands off your money. Wait
a minute, this isn't going to Elon Musk. This is
going to like a million and a half dollars to
advance diversity and equity and inclusion in Serbia. I mean
these it's like seventy thousand dollars for the Dei Musical
(04:36):
in Ireland. I mean two and a half million dollars
for electric vehicles in Vietnam. Why and that those are
those seem like, oh, those are not that big of numbers.
These are This is what adds up. This is this
is what we call the pork. Why do we have this?
Why aren't we getting this out of our taxpayer dollars?
Why are we spending this money? And that's my question
(04:57):
to you. Why are they so pritty detective of this?
You talked about money laundering? How's that working? What do
you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So the core issue in this particular case, let's take
a look at the BBC in Politico. So BBC has
been funded by USAID the British Broadcasting Corporation. Now BBC
has clarified that it only funded part of a BBC charity,
which is rather suspicious. Why isn't BBC giving to its
charity or not? Why is USA doing so? Why did
(05:26):
Politico take eight million dollars from USAID in twenty twenty four?
This is an issue. It's an issue because of conflict
of interest. First of all, because certain groups have certain
political leanings and there are certain activities in political factionisms
that exist within things like diversity, equity and inclusion plays
or transgender comics in Peru or transgender operas in Colombia.
(05:50):
And whether or not it's five dollars to the program
or five million dollars to the program, it is taking
the taxpayers money and using it towards the political aims
of the last whether it's via culture, whether it's via
means of governmental policy, or whether it's via US diplomatic action,
which is what USAID is supposed to be used for.
(06:10):
And it's when we say money laundering. These are special
interest groups that are connected with members of the Democratic Senate,
members of the Democratic House, and then members of prior
democratic administrations as well as in federal agencies who vote
as USAID staffers do ninety seven percent Democrat. Just looking
(06:30):
over the list here, it seems that there is a
large financial organization which was unaccountable for ages that was
just donating money left and right. Excuse me, donating your
money left and right only to the left and doing
so in ways that when people tried to say, well,
what are you funding? You know, they threatened to sue
Jody Earn or excuse me, they sue Jony Ernst from Iowa,
(06:54):
the Senator because she had the goal to ask what
is it that you guys are funding?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So why is there no I mean, because that's pretty
standard procedure when you have a group like this that
is using taxpayer dollars that there is oversight. There seems
to be no oversight, and just there also seems to
be an agenda. And I think that people are misled
by what they see on the news when they hear USAID.
I think the majority of people think that this is
(07:19):
actually aid going to countries. I mean, hear you hear
Bill Gates talking about vaccines. I think people think this
is critical food, critical supplies. But you mentioned a transgender
opera in Colombia, the transgender comic book in Peru. I mean,
we're talking about two million dollars for sex changes in Guatemala.
(07:40):
Why is there such an lgbt Q aspect of this
and why are we not allowed to investigate? Why is
there no oversight?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well, so to answer the smaller question at the end,
there first why is there so much LGBTQ funding. It's
an affirmation thing because in the real world, with actual,
real people that aren't watching American Culture twenty four to seven,
lgb pops up exceptionally rarely. The te pops up zero.
Outside of individuals who are suffering from gender dysphoria, it
(08:11):
doesn't happen. So if we're actually going to talk about
things that deserve any kind of funding at all, pretending
that LGBTQ needs to be felt around the world as
a way to make some wine mom in Kansas feel better,
So that would be one number two. As far as
the entirety of usaid funding and why we're you know,
I thought it was funding you know, countries, and why
isn't their accountability for this? Well, to be fair, the
(08:33):
USA does actually give aid in food and health to
other areas around the world. It just ended up being
nine million dollars that went directly to Syrian terrorists who
slaughtered women and children. So glad to know that we're
feeding the bellies of men's committing you know, an actual genocide.
Not to mention, I guess we could have fed children,
but we did spend twenty million dollars on a sesame
(08:55):
street show in Iraq. So it's kind of feeding the
heart and soul because the reason there's not bad.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
It's just shocking. I mean, you can't even make it
up when you look at this, and like I said,
it seems like small numbers when you break them apart,
and that is there. A reason for that is if
you spread it all around, all these billions around to
a bunch of different organizations, it's harder to.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Follow it is. That's part of it. Also, just it
flags less. Think about it this way. I'm sure that
you file expense reports when you travel. I file expense
reports when I travel for the daily signal, and when
I do, if I spend less than twenty five dollars
on a meal receipt, I don't have to provide a receipt.
I can just say, hey, for this meal, this is
where I went, this is how much it costs. If
(09:41):
it's under twenty five dollars, nine times out of ten,
accounting will be like, yeah, that sounds reasonable, no problem. Well,
if you were acting uncharitably, you could try squeezing a
little bit through that. That kindness, right, because it's annoying
to keep a receipt from McDonald's, so you know, I
don't have to send that in. Well, if they keep
it in just a couple of million or a couple
(10:02):
of thousand, who's going to look over their shoulder when
the budget of the United States is so inherently large
and there's no accountability on any of this because Congress
is full of apathetic, lazy goobers who are more interested
in campaigning than retaining their rights, and a lot of
these systems like USAID, for example, are unaccountable, meaning the
president doesn't have to explain why this money was spent
(10:24):
before Congress. Because it was a Cold War organization, it
was meant to give the president a diplomatic arm in
addition to his military arm, to stop communism around the
globe by bribing countries to work with US instead of Russia.
The Cold War ended in ninety one. Guys, I mean,
I'm not sure what we're doing, you know, looking around
left and right pretending that I mean, we still need
(10:48):
the USAID and they're not even doing a pro America mission.
I don't know what the United States should have to
do with sending Ukrainians to Paris Fashion Week, but here
we are.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So you talk about and Congress has its own slush fund,
or it had its own slush fund. This was to
pay off people who said congressmen and women had done
horrible things to them, and that hasn't come out. That
should come out. I imagine that they're not interested in
outing other people when they have their own plank in
their eye and they don't want people to see the
(11:20):
money they're spending. This is, to me brings us full
circle back to Elon Musk, who's like, you know what,
don't pay me, I'm just going to audit the books. No,
but why are suddenly, why suddenly is everybody so opposed
to auditing the books?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I mean, I really love the defense and I was
going to mention this the last time that you said it.
I love that Elon Musk is after your money. Tell
Elon to keep his hands off or money. He's not
being paid. He's not being paid for that. I mean,
he's refused payment for this. He is a private commission.
By the way, a United States citizen. Everyone talking about
this foreigner, Oh, immigrants are bad all of the sudden. Boy,
(11:57):
that was quick.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, my valid point.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yes, I appreciate that goodness, gracious, but in not being
paid just again revealing things that when I have sent
Foyer request before documents that have been sent back to
me redacted with no reason, with no moratal cause, with
no national security cause, they're blacked out.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Why Well, because we said so. They're upset about that,
because there are things that are going to be revealed.
I try not to be extremely conspiratorial about what I
believe is going on, because it's easier to apply ignorance
and selfishness before just straight malice. But I am running
out of reasons. That's called Rockham's razor, to assume basically
(12:37):
the best until you have the absolute worst. There's really
little reason at this point not to believe, given what
we have seen funded here, that we're not going to
find money that eventually goes to Act Blue or through
other Democratic fundraising platforms, or possibly to direct business interests
tied to Pelosi or Elizabeth Warren or Bunny Sundo's. I mean,
(12:59):
who knows at this point could be funding onesies for
Puny Sundas. Who knows.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That to this day, I'm like the amount of emotion
he expressed over a ones a child's onesie, I'm like
good grief, And that is another thing because those people
will will they will sit in a hearing and look
at the camera and say I've never taken money from
pharmaceutical companies, which we know is a total lie. And
(13:27):
that's why when I see this, I go, Okay, what
are you hiding? And that's why I wanted to talk
about what do you mean when you say money laundering?
Because well, here we have six million dollars to fund
tourism in Egypt. Is that money going again coming back?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I mean, we're really running a travel agency here. This
is is quite wonderful.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
For two countries who have certain visitors are not allowed
to go to.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
So I can answer the money laundering thing. Oh yeah,
that's a very good point. Yeah, Marco Rubio is going
to have some words to say about that as the
Secretary of State, I guarantee it. I hope he gripes
at them in Spanish because it's just more entertaining to
listen to. I mean, there's something about being lectured by
someone I went to college and lived in and out
of homes that spoke Spanish. To hear a kid lectured
(14:15):
from their parent in Spanish is one of the greatest
things that one can hear. It's amazing. I hope Secretary
of Rubio does that anyway to the money laundering issue,
Here's why this is money laundering. Here's how this works
in the grown up world. So I do voice acting
from time to time, and there was a time in
which I work for a kind of a guild firm,
because voice actors aren't important enough to have in visual
(14:36):
agents unless you're very, very big. And to provide favors
for a group that we wanted to pay but didn't
want to be seen paying, I would do work for
scale by voice acting for them for free or for
a largely reduced rate, so they are still receiving, in essence,
let's say six hundred dollars worth of services, but I
(14:56):
am only receiving one hundred dollars for it. Therefore, five
hundred dollars in value has essentially changed hands without the
irs being any the wiser, and I've worked what's called
for scale. This is done in the money laundering governmental
agencies like this. If there is an organization that I'm
just going to pick a random congressman, let's say Maxine Waters.
(15:18):
Maxine Waters really wants this organization funded. She talks to
them and then she gets someone inside. Again, this hypothetical
situation from USAID to fund let's pick one of them here,
one million dollars for risky research in a certain Wuhan laboratory.
They make that donation, and then Maxine Waters might get
(15:40):
a gift card from a foreign government or entity donated
through Act Blue, which the House is currently investigating right
now and very very illegal. That's how money laundering works
in these systems.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Stay tuned for more with Tony Kinnitt. But first let
me tell you about my partners at Preborn. As long
as the abortion pill is legally mailed and taken in
all fifty states, no state can be abortion free. Abortion
pills carry distinct risks to mothers and death to babies,
and now account for over sixty percent of all abortions.
Preborn's networkup clinics shine a light into the darkness by
(16:13):
offering free services to women considering the future of their baby,
including abortion reversal pill. This powerful remedy can help reverse
the curse of this toxic pill. Preborn reaches into the
heart of babies and mothers with God's love and compassion,
and to date they've rescued over three hundred thousand babies.
(16:34):
Your tax deductable monthly support of any amount is crucial
in the fight for life. All proceeds go toward life,
and together we can reverse the curse. Saving babies isn't
just about one life, It's about saving the heartbeat of
the entire nation. To donate, please call pound two fifty
and say the keyword baby. That's pound two fifty baby.
(16:54):
Or visit preborn dot com slash dixon. It's preborn dot
com slash dixon. We've got more coming up after this.
We were at a meeting the other day here locally,
and there were local folks that were saying, there's all
these foreign actors that are working in our elections, and
how do we stop the Democrats from taking money from
(17:15):
other countries? And it was kind of interesting because I
looked at the person next to me and I'm like, well,
we're not allowed to take money from other countries, but
we do wonder how do the Democrats get this massive
amount of money? Do you think that that is true
that there is money coming into their campaigns from other
countries and potentially other governments.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I do, but I also think that it comes from
the money not spent. IDEA, let's say.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
You are paying kind donations.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, kind of the idea that you know I'm planning on.
I don't know. I know this next year, I'm going
to have to replace the tires on my car, and
that is money that I've set aside that I am
going to spend there. But some kindly person comes over
and says, you know what, I am going to buy
the foreign new tires for your car. And now I
have this extra money to spend. Oh what am I
going to do with this extra money? If I'm running
(18:07):
for office? Maybe that money now can be used for
my political campaign. This is the issue with the BBC
that we mentioned earlier. Why is USA donating to a
BBC charity instead of BBC donating to their charity. What
did BBC then use that money they would have spent
on their own charity? Where did that money go? This
is how a lot of donation issues are concerned. Same
(18:28):
with Ukraine. Well we're giving supplies over to Ukraine. Okay,
where did the money that Ukraine would have spent on
those supplies ammunitions end up going? Then? Because an amount
a set amount changed hands, I want to know what
happened with that net sum and where it went, and
why my taxpayer dollars are what contributed to it. Maybe
I'll support it, maybe I won't. That's the real issue
(18:50):
here is that somewhere there's money that could have gone
somewhere and could have come from someone's pocket, but instead
it came from my pocket. And at a time when
everything's ridiculuslessly expensive, and property taxes certainly aren't low, income
taxes certainly aren't low. That's a bit of an issue.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, you brought up Wuhan, and I think that's key
right now because nobody has held China accountable. There's never
been any repercussions for China after what happened with the
worldwide pandemic that killed millions of people. And yet you
start to dig into this USAID situation and you realize
that there was money that went toward research at the
(19:29):
Wuhan Lab, which is where we know the coronavirus came from.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It really is unconscionable to look at the amount of
cover up that has taken place, especially regarding Anthony Fauci
and the gain of function research that has occurred for
years and basically just playing around like a child released
into a Lego store with mRNA vaccines. By the way,
as a former science teacher, an anatomy and physiology teacher,
(19:55):
I understand the mechanisms of mRNA procedures and how chrisoperkasnine
was discovered, which is kind of like genetic scissors. When
you start to play with those games, the risk goes
up exponentially. China was playing with fire. China knew they
were playing with fire, and yet the United States continued
to throw money through them and at them, just because
(20:17):
of the President Obama and George Bushy and doctrine of
everyone's real good and friendly and love and on the inside,
you just gotta give enough money to show it, which
makes no sense whatsoever. But this has been the United
States approach to foreign policy since the Middle Way Point
through the Cold War, excluding Reagan. Throw enough money at
the rest of the world and maybe everything will be fine. Well,
(20:40):
I'm too familiar with the American public education system to
tell you that that's a good strategy at all. Throwing
more money at something exacerbates a problem, it doesn't make
it better.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, well, I wish you could say that to the
folks here in Michigan who continue to throw money at
our education system and yet our kids are in the
worst shape they've ever been. I mean, and we look
at something outside of just money and that I think
that is one of the issues that Elon Musk is
taking on, like that we don't just throw money everywhere.
It's not making the world better, it's not making our
(21:11):
country better, and we continue to go deeper into debt.
One of the big funding buckets, i'd say out of
USA that we're hearing about is birth control, condoms, birth
control going And we heard about the fifty million dollars
of condoms going to Gosen and all the media went out,
It's not just condoms, it's all kinds of different birth control.
(21:32):
Why are we taking charge of other people's birth control?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Again? It comes down to the social engineering of affirmation.
It all comes down to this. The idea is that
there is some sad, suburban wine mom who has no faith,
who has no family, who has no friends, who has
nothing of substance and purpose, who was led to believe
throughout her teens and twenties that what you needed to
do was act like a young adult and an act
like a kid as long as you can. And that's
(21:57):
unfulfilling and so crashing down from that of the twenties
are over. Now they need a purpose, They need a
cause because humans cannot exist without purpose and without cause,
So they need something. So they turn to what they know,
because again they don't have faith, they don't have family,
they're not active in their community, and what they find
is a lot of political leftism that is wrapped up
in hedonism. In other terms, pleasure, what can I get
(22:18):
out of life? And that leads down the paths of
all of the stuff regarding abortion because sex has consequences,
and the LGBTQ plus two IA stuff because sex has consequences.
And so then once you are spending all of your
time dealing with that stuff, then you need affirmation because
that stuff isn't fulfilling either, and so you need others
(22:41):
to affirm you. And that's what all of these social
policies are about. It's a way to try to create
this narrative that the world is progressively moving towards all
of the prophylactics all the time because everyone's just having
casual sex and they're all polyamorous, and we're all on
a spectrum of gender, and that makes them feel better
for the poor decisions that they have made.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I mean, it's so interesting because as we see this
ratchet up in the United States and we see more
and more of these transgender surgeries and more. I mean,
we had what Cynthia Nixon out there saying, my child
is trans, my friend's children are trans, my children's friends
are trans, and give me a break. There's not that
many trans people in the world. This is something. There's
(23:20):
something else going on. Other countries are not doing this.
In fact, in Europe they were like, actually, this might
have been a bad idea. We're not going to do
these surgeries. We're not going to have these puberty blockers anymore.
This is not healthy. And yet here we are pushing
it through this organization, with our tax dollars going into
other countries, trying to make this a thing, and it's
(23:40):
not a thing. It's only a thing here. I want
to switch gears a little bit because you are from Indiana.
I'm from Michigan. One of your people came here. We
did not welcome them in. They crossed the border illegally,
but they're here now. We now have Pete Boodhage Edge
in Traverse City, and the story is that your South
(24:01):
Bend mayor illegally is here. No, he is allowed apparently
to run for Senate, but he should not be. So
he's here to run and people feel that way. I
got to tell you. People in Michigan are like, wait
a minute, you don't just skip the line. And Democrats,
it's not. Republicans kind of like the idea of him
running because they think that they can beat him. Democrats
(24:21):
are really mad. They are big mad over Pete coming
here and saying I've never lived in Michigan. And he
didn't even live in Michigan the last four years. He's
been in Washington. So he came here, touched the ground,
and then went to Washington, and now he's in Michigan
or and he's running for the Senate. Is what are
your thoughts on Pete Bodhag Judge running for the Senate here.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
First of all, I can't stop laughing every time I
think about it. It's really quite great. So I have
the honor and privilege of having once been named dropped
in a speech by Chasten his husband partner Guy. And
I've known of the Buddha Judges for a hot minute.
They are embarrassment here in Indiana, of course, and I'll
(25:03):
tell you that the most moderate Democrats have no chance
of winning in Indiana, but that hasn't stopped Pete since
his failed mayoral position in South Bend. So to go
up to Michigan, just like right over the border and
instantly claim that he's the hallmark of change, mister secretary
of Transportation again, very bold to run in Michigan, a
(25:24):
transportation heavy state for Democrats. The UAW hates Pete Bootage Edge.
I am not sure what he thinks he's doing, but
I mean the arrogance of Pete bodhaj Edge truly knows
no limits. So he's in your hands now.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
This is my this is my theory on why people
come to Michigan. Michigan is Michigan sends people all over
the country. I mean, you've got Jennifer Granholm who became
the Energy secretary. You have Gretchen Whitmer, who's tried to
run for president like four times now, but nobody actually
knows she's like secretly running. But you do become some
famous in his swing state because you're out there all
(26:02):
the time. And so if you're a Democrat, you're really
out there. They like take the swing state governors and senators,
and they try to march them around the whole country.
Why because the races are expensive. They bring in a
lot of money. They're battling Republicans, and so once they win,
they end up with all of this name I d
across the entire country, and I believe you're exactly right.
(26:25):
He knows he can't win in Indiana. He has no
chance of being a senator or a governor in Indiana.
So he crossed the border and he was like, Okay,
now I'm in one of these swing states, not too
far from home, and I can get exactly what I
want here, which is power. It's not about serving the people.
He didn't care about Michigan. Doesn't care about the people
in Michigan. Peopod Judge cares about Pete. He wants to
(26:46):
be more powerful. He wants to prove that his screw
up at the Department of Transportation was just a momentary,
that he can go in and be a senator for
the rest of his life or then run for president again.
To me, this is like it's great for us, like
I said, but now you've got the Democrats up in arms,
and I look at and I think that there's two
(27:07):
calculations here. Pete Buddha Judge, he raised a lot of
money when he ran for president, So now the Democrats
are in a bit of a pickle. Is a Mallori
mcmarrow who went out and spoke at the DNC but
kind of came off as a weird, awkward person going
to be able to raise the kind of money that
Pete Bota judge, who is very he's very good at talking.
He's a slick liar, but he's very good at talking.
(27:30):
So is someone who's been a lifelong Michigander but kind
of awkward, little bit challenging to have events with. Is
she going to be able to compete with a Pete
Boota judge who's been on the national scene.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
You know, I'm not sure at this point if I
can see Pete Boudhajedge stepping out and making a remarkable
performance in the primary, specifically because the Democrats have done
this consistently that they think that again, the cultural identity
of the person just defeats all. And so the fact
that Pete Budha Judge comes out and he's like, I'm
pp Je. Also I'm gay, and it's like I don't
(28:05):
no one cares. Are you good at your job? No? Well,
but he's an Ivy leaguer. That's not exactly a riveting
endorsement there. I'm looking at Pete and I'm looking at
what accomplishments he's theoretically supposed to have and is that
going to be enough to swagen the Union voters in Michigan.
It didn't really work in the presidential I'm not really sure.
(28:26):
I see the primary voters coming out and going ay
as you hear about Pete, what a breath of fresh air.
I'm kind of, I don't know, thinking there might be
some kind of a dark horse candidate that pops up
in Michigan to run for the Senate. I mean, former
football players seem to be all of the rage and
politics these days. Maybe, unlike Ted Cruz's Senate race, you'll
have one that I don't know, skips out of the
(28:47):
lions and runs. That'd be more interesting for me.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Stick around for more with Tony Kinnett, but first let
me tell you about my partners at IFCJ. After more
than a year of war, terror and pain in Israel,
there is still great demand for basic humanitarian aid. The
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has supported and continues
to support those in the Holy Land still facing the
lingering horrors of war, and those who are in desperate
(29:11):
need right now. Your ongoing monthly gift of forty five
dollars will provide critically needed aid to communities in the
North and South devastated by the ongoing war. Your generous
donation each month will help deliver to those in need,
including evacuees, refugees from warturn areas, first responders and volunteers,
wounded soldiers, elderly Holocaust survivors, families who have lost everything,
(29:36):
and so many more. You can provide hope during a
time of great uncertainty and give a gift to bless
Israel and her people by visiting SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That's
one word support IFCJ dot org or call eight eight
eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight four
eight eight IFCJ eight eight eight four eight eight four
(30:00):
three two five. We've got more coming up after this.
It's kind of dying down the idea that you can
broadcast your sexuality, your gender, your race as a reason
to be hired. And I say that as someone you
know here I'm a woman who has run for office,
(30:21):
but I don't think that the fact that I'm a
woman is what qualifies me office.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Did you tell did you tell them who you sleep with?
I'm told that is a winning issue.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
That's true, that's true. Maybe if I were just broadcasting that.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I can't believe this took. This took our country fifteen
years to get over. What a weird regression against civil
rights we took for a decade and a half as
bewildering to.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Me, Well, that actually that has been my complaint about
the fact that really what the Biden administration did where
they marched people out and said that this is based
your value is based on your color, it's based on
your background, because it actually makes it harder for women,
It makes it harder for people of color to come
(31:08):
out and run for office, because I mean, I can't
tell you the number of times that I've gotten you're
just a DEI hire, And I'm like, I come from
the steel industry. I know what it's like to walk
into a room and have someone look at me and go,
you don't belong here. And the last thing I needed
was somebody to make to publish documents saying These are
(31:29):
the people that don't belong, but we're going to put
them there anyway and give people a reason to doubt me,
or doubt my friend who is next to me that
is a black American, or doubt my friend who is
a gay American. You know these are Don't judge me
by whether by whether or not I am that. Judge
me by what I know and how I do the job.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Phenomenal example Scott Besant. Scott Vessant is an openly gay man.
Do you know how many Americans know that? Like? Next
to none? Do you know why? Because when he steps
up to the plate when he was in that Senate
confirmation hearing, he was asked repeated grilling questions that were
about his abilities, and he answered masterfully. I think that
Bessett is one of the undercovered confirmation hearings that took
(32:12):
place on the committee floor in the last couple of weeks.
It was a masterclass in response. It is a perfect
example of meritocracy and one of Trump's best appointments by far.
I mean still, just yesterday, Trump was signing executive orders
and he immediately kicked it over to Scott to explain
why Trump had signed that executive order. Had Scott just
(32:35):
started just right off the cuff listing all of the
reasons why a sovereign fund was good for the United
States and how it was going to be effective for
American citizens. None of that has to do with the sexuality,
which means I don't think, Oh, Scott got that job
because of who he sleeps with. No, Scott got that
job because Scott is far better at that job than
I could ever hope to be. And that is how
(32:55):
it should be. There's no better standard for that on earth.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
You know, it used to be the people question whether
or not you slept your way to the top. Now
it's just you're just watching who you're sleeping with to
figure out if you can get to the top. It's
are I know who knew that? Whatever happened, my gosh,
I guess it makes it better in a certain way.
But I want to promote your podcast because I know
it's been such a joy to talk to you today,
(33:21):
and I know other people will want to listen to you.
It's the Tony Kinnit Cast. It's weekdays at seven pm.
Tell us where we can find it.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
You can find that over on YouTube at the Daily
Signal you can find that on X and then podcasting
services are radio and TV Syndication Network. And if you
find it somewhere else, I won't hold it against you.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
That sounds good, well, Tony, thank you so much for
joining me.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Today, Tutor Absolute Blast.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Thank you, and thank you all for joining us on
the Tutor Dixon Podcast. For this episode and others. Go
to Tutor dixonpodcast dot com, the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts and join us next time.
Have a blessed day.
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. You've probably heard Democrats
across the country totally freaking out about USAID because now
suddenly we have Donald Trump's administration looking into it, and
it turns out they don't really want to fund some
of the things that USAID is funding. And we probably
didn't actually know what USAID was funding, because if we did,
(00:22):
the majority of US would come out and say, why
are our taxpayer dollars going to this? And that question
then leads to why are democrats so upset about US
wanting to defund some of these programs? And so to
figure this out, I'm bringing in Tony Kinnitt. He is
an investigative columnist for The Daily Signal and a radio
host at WIBC in Indianapolis. Tony, thank you for joining me.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Tutor, absolutely so tell us you've been investigating this whole situation.
It's very weird to me that everybody is so up
in arms about this and trying to protect it, because
I feel like it's kind of like the Wizard of
when you pull back the curtain, it's something really weird
behind it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So let's go in reverse. Let's talk about optics. So
the Republicans are, supposedly, according to the legacy media, which
has lost a considerable amount of influence, by which I
mean almost all of its influence over the American public.
Right now, the optics of the situation really demand from
the opposition party to act calm, collected and just point.
(01:24):
If you think, really truly that the Republicans are doing
something terrible and evil and awful and crazy, then just
like Trump was supposed to do during the Biden administration,
you simply point and the American people go, oh, wow,
you're right, you are so much better than what's currently
going on. But they're not. Instead, they're getting out in
front of the country and they're screaming we're at war
and fight on the streets and all of this other
(01:47):
insane stuff. I mean, actually clipping out their own microphones
outside of the Treasury Building, screeching in the changing sory.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Wait, let me just stop you for a second, because
we I think we have that clip, so let's play that.
People know, I mean, this is kind of a mashup
of a bunch of these people doing this, So here
it is, and then we'll get back to it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
To our Republican colleagues, if you do not see the light,
we will bring the fire.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Who is this?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We are gonna be in your faith, We are gonna
be on your asses.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
We have days to stop the destruction of our democracy.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
We have work to do.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Tell Elon Musk to take his hands off your money.
We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy twenty two year
olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the
United States of America.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Hey, goddamn is shut down the city. We are war.
We will win.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
We will win, we will we will rest.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
We won't rest.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
There's so much to.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Unpact there, I mean, besides the cringe that actually stooped
my posture. Let me just pick that back up again here,
I mean, my goodness, the embarrassed. I do want to
point out that, and I mentioned that this morning, that
they are acting in a way that reeks of guilt,
of shame and desperation. And what do they have to have,
you know, such guilt and shame and desperation over these
(03:12):
are simply financial disbursements that have been revealed to the
American people. That's it. They're angry about the freezing of
the fund, Sure, but what they're mostly upset about, as
they have consistently shown, is that these funding programs have
gone towards the most abysmally un American things in entirely
un American places. I mean, from spreading atheism in Nepal
(03:37):
literally quote expand atheism end quote in Nepal to dei
musicals in Ireland. There are so many of these that
the list is growing. My producer right now, in real time,
is actually adding additional things we're finding to the Google
document that I'm reading from on things that the US
AID program has coughed up money for over the last
(03:58):
ten years. And you go back even further and it
just gets worse as time goes on. So they're embarrassed
because it looks like the swamp rhetoric was entirely correct
the entire time. This is easily the biggest money laundering
scheme in US history, if not in world history.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
So you say money laundering, let's get into that, because
I just heard those Democrats freaking out and saying, tell
Elon Musk to get his hands off your money. Wait
a minute, this isn't going to Elon Musk. This is
going to like a million and a half dollars to
advance diversity and equity and inclusion in Serbia. I mean
these it's like seventy thousand dollars for the Dei Musical
(04:36):
in Ireland. I mean two and a half million dollars
for electric vehicles in Vietnam. Why and that those are
those seem like, oh, those are not that big of numbers.
These are This is what adds up. This is this
is what we call the pork. Why do we have this?
Why aren't we getting this out of our taxpayer dollars?
Why are we spending this money? And that's my question
(04:57):
to you. Why are they so pritty detective of this?
You talked about money laundering? How's that working? What do
you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So the core issue in this particular case, let's take
a look at the BBC in Politico. So BBC has
been funded by USAID the British Broadcasting Corporation. Now BBC
has clarified that it only funded part of a BBC charity,
which is rather suspicious. Why isn't BBC giving to its
charity or not? Why is USA doing so? Why did
(05:26):
Politico take eight million dollars from USAID in twenty twenty four?
This is an issue. It's an issue because of conflict
of interest. First of all, because certain groups have certain
political leanings and there are certain activities in political factionisms
that exist within things like diversity, equity and inclusion plays
or transgender comics in Peru or transgender operas in Colombia.
(05:50):
And whether or not it's five dollars to the program
or five million dollars to the program, it is taking
the taxpayers money and using it towards the political aims
of the last whether it's via culture, whether it's via
means of governmental policy, or whether it's via US diplomatic action,
which is what USAID is supposed to be used for.
(06:10):
And it's when we say money laundering. These are special
interest groups that are connected with members of the Democratic Senate,
members of the Democratic House, and then members of prior
democratic administrations as well as in federal agencies who vote
as USAID staffers do ninety seven percent Democrat. Just looking
(06:30):
over the list here, it seems that there is a
large financial organization which was unaccountable for ages that was
just donating money left and right. Excuse me, donating your
money left and right only to the left and doing
so in ways that when people tried to say, well,
what are you funding? You know, they threatened to sue
Jody Earn or excuse me, they sue Jony Ernst from Iowa,
(06:54):
the Senator because she had the goal to ask what
is it that you guys are funding?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So why is there no I mean, because that's pretty
standard procedure when you have a group like this that
is using taxpayer dollars that there is oversight. There seems
to be no oversight, and just there also seems to
be an agenda. And I think that people are misled
by what they see on the news when they hear USAID.
I think the majority of people think that this is
(07:19):
actually aid going to countries. I mean, hear you hear
Bill Gates talking about vaccines. I think people think this
is critical food, critical supplies. But you mentioned a transgender
opera in Colombia, the transgender comic book in Peru. I mean,
we're talking about two million dollars for sex changes in Guatemala.
(07:40):
Why is there such an lgbt Q aspect of this
and why are we not allowed to investigate? Why is
there no oversight?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well, so to answer the smaller question at the end,
there first why is there so much LGBTQ funding. It's
an affirmation thing because in the real world, with actual,
real people that aren't watching American Culture twenty four to seven,
lgb pops up exceptionally rarely. The te pops up zero.
Outside of individuals who are suffering from gender dysphoria, it
(08:11):
doesn't happen. So if we're actually going to talk about
things that deserve any kind of funding at all, pretending
that LGBTQ needs to be felt around the world as
a way to make some wine mom in Kansas feel better,
So that would be one number two. As far as
the entirety of usaid funding and why we're you know,
I thought it was funding you know, countries, and why
isn't their accountability for this? Well, to be fair, the
(08:33):
USA does actually give aid in food and health to
other areas around the world. It just ended up being
nine million dollars that went directly to Syrian terrorists who
slaughtered women and children. So glad to know that we're
feeding the bellies of men's committing you know, an actual genocide.
Not to mention, I guess we could have fed children,
but we did spend twenty million dollars on a sesame
(08:55):
street show in Iraq. So it's kind of feeding the
heart and soul because the reason there's not bad.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
It's just shocking. I mean, you can't even make it
up when you look at this, and like I said,
it seems like small numbers when you break them apart,
and that is there. A reason for that is if
you spread it all around, all these billions around to
a bunch of different organizations, it's harder to.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Follow it is. That's part of it. Also, just it
flags less. Think about it this way. I'm sure that
you file expense reports when you travel. I file expense
reports when I travel for the daily signal, and when
I do, if I spend less than twenty five dollars
on a meal receipt, I don't have to provide a receipt.
I can just say, hey, for this meal, this is
where I went, this is how much it costs. If
(09:41):
it's under twenty five dollars, nine times out of ten,
accounting will be like, yeah, that sounds reasonable, no problem. Well,
if you were acting uncharitably, you could try squeezing a
little bit through that. That kindness, right, because it's annoying
to keep a receipt from McDonald's, so you know, I
don't have to send that in. Well, if they keep
it in just a couple of million or a couple
(10:02):
of thousand, who's going to look over their shoulder when
the budget of the United States is so inherently large
and there's no accountability on any of this because Congress
is full of apathetic, lazy goobers who are more interested
in campaigning than retaining their rights, and a lot of
these systems like USAID, for example, are unaccountable, meaning the
president doesn't have to explain why this money was spent
(10:24):
before Congress. Because it was a Cold War organization, it
was meant to give the president a diplomatic arm in
addition to his military arm, to stop communism around the
globe by bribing countries to work with US instead of Russia.
The Cold War ended in ninety one. Guys, I mean,
I'm not sure what we're doing, you know, looking around
left and right pretending that I mean, we still need
(10:48):
the USAID and they're not even doing a pro America mission.
I don't know what the United States should have to
do with sending Ukrainians to Paris Fashion Week, but here
we are.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So you talk about and Congress has its own slush fund,
or it had its own slush fund. This was to
pay off people who said congressmen and women had done
horrible things to them, and that hasn't come out. That
should come out. I imagine that they're not interested in
outing other people when they have their own plank in
their eye and they don't want people to see the
(11:20):
money they're spending. This is, to me brings us full
circle back to Elon Musk, who's like, you know what,
don't pay me, I'm just going to audit the books. No,
but why are suddenly, why suddenly is everybody so opposed
to auditing the books?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I mean, I really love the defense and I was
going to mention this the last time that you said it.
I love that Elon Musk is after your money. Tell
Elon to keep his hands off or money. He's not
being paid. He's not being paid for that. I mean,
he's refused payment for this. He is a private commission.
By the way, a United States citizen. Everyone talking about
this foreigner, Oh, immigrants are bad all of the sudden. Boy,
(11:57):
that was quick.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, my valid point.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yes, I appreciate that goodness, gracious, but in not being
paid just again revealing things that when I have sent
Foyer request before documents that have been sent back to
me redacted with no reason, with no moratal cause, with
no national security cause, they're blacked out.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Why Well, because we said so. They're upset about that,
because there are things that are going to be revealed.
I try not to be extremely conspiratorial about what I
believe is going on, because it's easier to apply ignorance
and selfishness before just straight malice. But I am running
out of reasons. That's called Rockham's razor, to assume basically
(12:37):
the best until you have the absolute worst. There's really
little reason at this point not to believe, given what
we have seen funded here, that we're not going to
find money that eventually goes to Act Blue or through
other Democratic fundraising platforms, or possibly to direct business interests
tied to Pelosi or Elizabeth Warren or Bunny Sundo's. I mean,
(12:59):
who knows at this point could be funding onesies for
Puny Sundas. Who knows.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That to this day, I'm like the amount of emotion
he expressed over a ones a child's onesie, I'm like
good grief, And that is another thing because those people
will will they will sit in a hearing and look
at the camera and say I've never taken money from
pharmaceutical companies, which we know is a total lie. And
(13:27):
that's why when I see this, I go, Okay, what
are you hiding? And that's why I wanted to talk
about what do you mean when you say money laundering?
Because well, here we have six million dollars to fund
tourism in Egypt. Is that money going again coming back?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I mean, we're really running a travel agency here. This
is is quite wonderful.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
For two countries who have certain visitors are not allowed
to go to.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
So I can answer the money laundering thing. Oh yeah,
that's a very good point. Yeah, Marco Rubio is going
to have some words to say about that as the
Secretary of State, I guarantee it. I hope he gripes
at them in Spanish because it's just more entertaining to
listen to. I mean, there's something about being lectured by
someone I went to college and lived in and out
of homes that spoke Spanish. To hear a kid lectured
(14:15):
from their parent in Spanish is one of the greatest
things that one can hear. It's amazing. I hope Secretary
of Rubio does that anyway to the money laundering issue,
Here's why this is money laundering. Here's how this works
in the grown up world. So I do voice acting
from time to time, and there was a time in
which I work for a kind of a guild firm,
because voice actors aren't important enough to have in visual
(14:36):
agents unless you're very, very big. And to provide favors
for a group that we wanted to pay but didn't
want to be seen paying, I would do work for
scale by voice acting for them for free or for
a largely reduced rate, so they are still receiving, in essence,
let's say six hundred dollars worth of services, but I
(14:56):
am only receiving one hundred dollars for it. Therefore, five
hundred dollars in value has essentially changed hands without the
irs being any the wiser, and I've worked what's called
for scale. This is done in the money laundering governmental
agencies like this. If there is an organization that I'm
just going to pick a random congressman, let's say Maxine Waters.
(15:18):
Maxine Waters really wants this organization funded. She talks to
them and then she gets someone inside. Again, this hypothetical
situation from USAID to fund let's pick one of them here,
one million dollars for risky research in a certain Wuhan laboratory.
They make that donation, and then Maxine Waters might get
(15:40):
a gift card from a foreign government or entity donated
through Act Blue, which the House is currently investigating right
now and very very illegal. That's how money laundering works
in these systems.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Stay tuned for more with Tony Kinnitt. But first let
me tell you about my partners at Preborn. As long
as the abortion pill is legally mailed and taken in
all fifty states, no state can be abortion free. Abortion
pills carry distinct risks to mothers and death to babies,
and now account for over sixty percent of all abortions.
Preborn's networkup clinics shine a light into the darkness by
(16:13):
offering free services to women considering the future of their baby,
including abortion reversal pill. This powerful remedy can help reverse
the curse of this toxic pill. Preborn reaches into the
heart of babies and mothers with God's love and compassion,
and to date they've rescued over three hundred thousand babies.
(16:34):
Your tax deductable monthly support of any amount is crucial
in the fight for life. All proceeds go toward life,
and together we can reverse the curse. Saving babies isn't
just about one life, It's about saving the heartbeat of
the entire nation. To donate, please call pound two fifty
and say the keyword baby. That's pound two fifty baby.
(16:54):
Or visit preborn dot com slash dixon. It's preborn dot
com slash dixon. We've got more coming up after this.
We were at a meeting the other day here locally,
and there were local folks that were saying, there's all
these foreign actors that are working in our elections, and
how do we stop the Democrats from taking money from
(17:15):
other countries? And it was kind of interesting because I
looked at the person next to me and I'm like, well,
we're not allowed to take money from other countries, but
we do wonder how do the Democrats get this massive
amount of money? Do you think that that is true
that there is money coming into their campaigns from other
countries and potentially other governments.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I do, but I also think that it comes from
the money not spent. IDEA, let's say.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
You are paying kind donations.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, kind of the idea that you know I'm planning on.
I don't know. I know this next year, I'm going
to have to replace the tires on my car, and
that is money that I've set aside that I am
going to spend there. But some kindly person comes over
and says, you know what, I am going to buy
the foreign new tires for your car. And now I
have this extra money to spend. Oh what am I
going to do with this extra money? If I'm running
(18:07):
for office? Maybe that money now can be used for
my political campaign. This is the issue with the BBC
that we mentioned earlier. Why is USA donating to a
BBC charity instead of BBC donating to their charity. What
did BBC then use that money they would have spent
on their own charity? Where did that money go? This
is how a lot of donation issues are concerned. Same
(18:28):
with Ukraine. Well we're giving supplies over to Ukraine. Okay,
where did the money that Ukraine would have spent on
those supplies ammunitions end up going? Then? Because an amount
a set amount changed hands, I want to know what
happened with that net sum and where it went, and
why my taxpayer dollars are what contributed to it. Maybe
I'll support it, maybe I won't. That's the real issue
(18:50):
here is that somewhere there's money that could have gone
somewhere and could have come from someone's pocket, but instead
it came from my pocket. And at a time when
everything's ridiculuslessly expensive, and property taxes certainly aren't low, income
taxes certainly aren't low. That's a bit of an issue.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, you brought up Wuhan, and I think that's key
right now because nobody has held China accountable. There's never
been any repercussions for China after what happened with the
worldwide pandemic that killed millions of people. And yet you
start to dig into this USAID situation and you realize
that there was money that went toward research at the
(19:29):
Wuhan Lab, which is where we know the coronavirus came from.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It really is unconscionable to look at the amount of
cover up that has taken place, especially regarding Anthony Fauci
and the gain of function research that has occurred for
years and basically just playing around like a child released
into a Lego store with mRNA vaccines. By the way,
as a former science teacher, an anatomy and physiology teacher,
(19:55):
I understand the mechanisms of mRNA procedures and how chrisoperkasnine
was discovered, which is kind of like genetic scissors. When
you start to play with those games, the risk goes
up exponentially. China was playing with fire. China knew they
were playing with fire, and yet the United States continued
to throw money through them and at them, just because
(20:17):
of the President Obama and George Bushy and doctrine of
everyone's real good and friendly and love and on the inside,
you just gotta give enough money to show it, which
makes no sense whatsoever. But this has been the United
States approach to foreign policy since the Middle Way Point
through the Cold War, excluding Reagan. Throw enough money at
the rest of the world and maybe everything will be fine. Well,
(20:40):
I'm too familiar with the American public education system to
tell you that that's a good strategy at all. Throwing
more money at something exacerbates a problem, it doesn't make
it better.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, well, I wish you could say that to the
folks here in Michigan who continue to throw money at
our education system and yet our kids are in the
worst shape they've ever been. I mean, and we look
at something outside of just money and that I think
that is one of the issues that Elon Musk is
taking on, like that we don't just throw money everywhere.
It's not making the world better, it's not making our
(21:11):
country better, and we continue to go deeper into debt.
One of the big funding buckets, i'd say out of
USA that we're hearing about is birth control, condoms, birth
control going And we heard about the fifty million dollars
of condoms going to Gosen and all the media went out,
It's not just condoms, it's all kinds of different birth control.
(21:32):
Why are we taking charge of other people's birth control?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Again? It comes down to the social engineering of affirmation.
It all comes down to this. The idea is that
there is some sad, suburban wine mom who has no faith,
who has no family, who has no friends, who has
nothing of substance and purpose, who was led to believe
throughout her teens and twenties that what you needed to
do was act like a young adult and an act
like a kid as long as you can. And that's
(21:57):
unfulfilling and so crashing down from that of the twenties
are over. Now they need a purpose, They need a
cause because humans cannot exist without purpose and without cause,
So they need something. So they turn to what they know,
because again they don't have faith, they don't have family,
they're not active in their community, and what they find
is a lot of political leftism that is wrapped up
in hedonism. In other terms, pleasure, what can I get
(22:18):
out of life? And that leads down the paths of
all of the stuff regarding abortion because sex has consequences,
and the LGBTQ plus two IA stuff because sex has consequences.
And so then once you are spending all of your
time dealing with that stuff, then you need affirmation because
that stuff isn't fulfilling either, and so you need others
(22:41):
to affirm you. And that's what all of these social
policies are about. It's a way to try to create
this narrative that the world is progressively moving towards all
of the prophylactics all the time because everyone's just having
casual sex and they're all polyamorous, and we're all on
a spectrum of gender, and that makes them feel better
for the poor decisions that they have made.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I mean, it's so interesting because as we see this
ratchet up in the United States and we see more
and more of these transgender surgeries and more. I mean,
we had what Cynthia Nixon out there saying, my child
is trans, my friend's children are trans, my children's friends
are trans, and give me a break. There's not that
many trans people in the world. This is something. There's
(23:20):
something else going on. Other countries are not doing this.
In fact, in Europe they were like, actually, this might
have been a bad idea. We're not going to do
these surgeries. We're not going to have these puberty blockers anymore.
This is not healthy. And yet here we are pushing
it through this organization, with our tax dollars going into
other countries, trying to make this a thing, and it's
(23:40):
not a thing. It's only a thing here. I want
to switch gears a little bit because you are from Indiana.
I'm from Michigan. One of your people came here. We
did not welcome them in. They crossed the border illegally,
but they're here now. We now have Pete Boodhage Edge
in Traverse City, and the story is that your South
(24:01):
Bend mayor illegally is here. No, he is allowed apparently
to run for Senate, but he should not be. So
he's here to run and people feel that way. I
got to tell you. People in Michigan are like, wait
a minute, you don't just skip the line. And Democrats,
it's not. Republicans kind of like the idea of him
running because they think that they can beat him. Democrats
(24:21):
are really mad. They are big mad over Pete coming
here and saying I've never lived in Michigan. And he
didn't even live in Michigan the last four years. He's
been in Washington. So he came here, touched the ground,
and then went to Washington, and now he's in Michigan
or and he's running for the Senate. Is what are
your thoughts on Pete Bodhag Judge running for the Senate here.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
First of all, I can't stop laughing every time I
think about it. It's really quite great. So I have
the honor and privilege of having once been named dropped
in a speech by Chasten his husband partner Guy. And
I've known of the Buddha Judges for a hot minute.
They are embarrassment here in Indiana, of course, and I'll
(25:03):
tell you that the most moderate Democrats have no chance
of winning in Indiana, but that hasn't stopped Pete since
his failed mayoral position in South Bend. So to go
up to Michigan, just like right over the border and
instantly claim that he's the hallmark of change, mister secretary
of Transportation again, very bold to run in Michigan, a
(25:24):
transportation heavy state for Democrats. The UAW hates Pete Bootage Edge.
I am not sure what he thinks he's doing, but
I mean the arrogance of Pete bodhaj Edge truly knows
no limits. So he's in your hands now.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
This is my this is my theory on why people
come to Michigan. Michigan is Michigan sends people all over
the country. I mean, you've got Jennifer Granholm who became
the Energy secretary. You have Gretchen Whitmer, who's tried to
run for president like four times now, but nobody actually
knows she's like secretly running. But you do become some
famous in his swing state because you're out there all
(26:02):
the time. And so if you're a Democrat, you're really
out there. They like take the swing state governors and senators,
and they try to march them around the whole country.
Why because the races are expensive. They bring in a
lot of money. They're battling Republicans, and so once they win,
they end up with all of this name I d
across the entire country, and I believe you're exactly right.
(26:25):
He knows he can't win in Indiana. He has no
chance of being a senator or a governor in Indiana.
So he crossed the border and he was like, Okay,
now I'm in one of these swing states, not too
far from home, and I can get exactly what I
want here, which is power. It's not about serving the people.
He didn't care about Michigan. Doesn't care about the people
in Michigan. Peopod Judge cares about Pete. He wants to
(26:46):
be more powerful. He wants to prove that his screw
up at the Department of Transportation was just a momentary,
that he can go in and be a senator for
the rest of his life or then run for president again.
To me, this is like it's great for us, like
I said, but now you've got the Democrats up in arms,
and I look at and I think that there's two
(27:07):
calculations here. Pete Buddha Judge, he raised a lot of
money when he ran for president, So now the Democrats
are in a bit of a pickle. Is a Mallori
mcmarrow who went out and spoke at the DNC but
kind of came off as a weird, awkward person going
to be able to raise the kind of money that
Pete Bota judge, who is very he's very good at talking.
He's a slick liar, but he's very good at talking.
(27:30):
So is someone who's been a lifelong Michigander but kind
of awkward, little bit challenging to have events with. Is
she going to be able to compete with a Pete
Boota judge who's been on the national scene.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
You know, I'm not sure at this point if I
can see Pete Boudhajedge stepping out and making a remarkable
performance in the primary, specifically because the Democrats have done
this consistently that they think that again, the cultural identity
of the person just defeats all. And so the fact
that Pete Budha Judge comes out and he's like, I'm
pp Je. Also I'm gay, and it's like I don't
(28:05):
no one cares. Are you good at your job? No? Well,
but he's an Ivy leaguer. That's not exactly a riveting
endorsement there. I'm looking at Pete and I'm looking at
what accomplishments he's theoretically supposed to have and is that
going to be enough to swagen the Union voters in Michigan.
It didn't really work in the presidential I'm not really sure.
(28:26):
I see the primary voters coming out and going ay
as you hear about Pete, what a breath of fresh air.
I'm kind of, I don't know, thinking there might be
some kind of a dark horse candidate that pops up
in Michigan to run for the Senate. I mean, former
football players seem to be all of the rage and
politics these days. Maybe, unlike Ted Cruz's Senate race, you'll
have one that I don't know, skips out of the
(28:47):
lions and runs. That'd be more interesting for me.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Stick around for more with Tony Kinnett, but first let
me tell you about my partners at IFCJ. After more
than a year of war, terror and pain in Israel,
there is still great demand for basic humanitarian aid. The
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has supported and continues
to support those in the Holy Land still facing the
lingering horrors of war, and those who are in desperate
(29:11):
need right now. Your ongoing monthly gift of forty five
dollars will provide critically needed aid to communities in the
North and South devastated by the ongoing war. Your generous
donation each month will help deliver to those in need,
including evacuees, refugees from warturn areas, first responders and volunteers,
wounded soldiers, elderly Holocaust survivors, families who have lost everything,
(29:36):
and so many more. You can provide hope during a
time of great uncertainty and give a gift to bless
Israel and her people by visiting SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That's
one word support IFCJ dot org or call eight eight
eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight four
eight eight IFCJ eight eight eight four eight eight four
(30:00):
three two five. We've got more coming up after this.
It's kind of dying down the idea that you can
broadcast your sexuality, your gender, your race as a reason
to be hired. And I say that as someone you
know here I'm a woman who has run for office,
(30:21):
but I don't think that the fact that I'm a
woman is what qualifies me office.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Did you tell did you tell them who you sleep with?
I'm told that is a winning issue.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
That's true, that's true. Maybe if I were just broadcasting that.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I can't believe this took. This took our country fifteen
years to get over. What a weird regression against civil
rights we took for a decade and a half as
bewildering to.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Me, Well, that actually that has been my complaint about
the fact that really what the Biden administration did where
they marched people out and said that this is based
your value is based on your color, it's based on
your background, because it actually makes it harder for women,
It makes it harder for people of color to come
(31:08):
out and run for office, because I mean, I can't
tell you the number of times that I've gotten you're
just a DEI hire, And I'm like, I come from
the steel industry. I know what it's like to walk
into a room and have someone look at me and go,
you don't belong here. And the last thing I needed
was somebody to make to publish documents saying These are
(31:29):
the people that don't belong, but we're going to put
them there anyway and give people a reason to doubt me,
or doubt my friend who is next to me that
is a black American, or doubt my friend who is
a gay American. You know these are Don't judge me
by whether by whether or not I am that. Judge
me by what I know and how I do the job.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Phenomenal example Scott Besant. Scott Vessant is an openly gay man.
Do you know how many Americans know that? Like? Next
to none? Do you know why? Because when he steps
up to the plate when he was in that Senate
confirmation hearing, he was asked repeated grilling questions that were
about his abilities, and he answered masterfully. I think that
Bessett is one of the undercovered confirmation hearings that took
(32:12):
place on the committee floor in the last couple of weeks.
It was a masterclass in response. It is a perfect
example of meritocracy and one of Trump's best appointments by far.
I mean still, just yesterday, Trump was signing executive orders
and he immediately kicked it over to Scott to explain
why Trump had signed that executive order. Had Scott just
(32:35):
started just right off the cuff listing all of the
reasons why a sovereign fund was good for the United
States and how it was going to be effective for
American citizens. None of that has to do with the sexuality,
which means I don't think, Oh, Scott got that job
because of who he sleeps with. No, Scott got that
job because Scott is far better at that job than
I could ever hope to be. And that is how
(32:55):
it should be. There's no better standard for that on earth.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
You know, it used to be the people question whether
or not you slept your way to the top. Now
it's just you're just watching who you're sleeping with to
figure out if you can get to the top. It's
are I know who knew that? Whatever happened, my gosh,
I guess it makes it better in a certain way.
But I want to promote your podcast because I know
it's been such a joy to talk to you today,
