Speaker 1 (00:00):
Issues here in Michigan, Lansing, behind the scene, court cases
that Gretchen Whitmer's finding yourself having to deal with and more.
Good friend James Dixon, you'll find him down I seventy
five over on X My favorite place is to catch
up with him. And then, James, we appreciate you taking
the time to be here with you. I want to
start with this. This Trump was right about everything they're
(00:23):
finally starting to do. You feel like you're living in
an upside down world.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Here we have been and justin thank you for having me.
It's so good to hear your boys. But it's been
this way for quite some time. There's a famous AT
headline from nineteen eighty nine that says, despite murders, you know,
crime is actually not that bad. If you were to
exclude the people who get killed in DC, crime is
not that bad, right, And what they were really saying
(00:49):
is that the people who are victims of those crimes
don't matter. It was kind of the opposite of black
lives matter. It's basically black lives don't matter because because
congressional staffers would be now those kind of people aren't
even safe anymore. They just had a Stafford kill last week,
I believe. And so now this is the crime situation,
(01:10):
the rain in DC just falling on the just and
the unjust. It's falling on the powerful and the everyday citizen.
Now it's a problem. Now it has to be fixed,
and the media is going to find itself on a ledge.
We're they're the only one saying it's not a problem,
even as their colleagues and their sources are subject to it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You know what's interesting to me is I see this
and the most probably the most fascinating part about it is, James,
we're finally starting to hear some of the gun You
were called racist, I was called racist, big it's crazy whatever. Yeah,
for all of these things that we would see, we
(01:50):
were just I think a little more in touch with
reality than than some of the folks in the media.
Maybe they were, but they just pretended like they weren't.
And now you see why it's starting to become so obvious,
so apparent why Trump won this last election. It's it's
it's critical that they come to a reckoning. You know,
(02:12):
it's interesting. I just I just shared this report and
gave them, gave them credit. Channel eight here in town
did a story about back to school shopping and reported, yeah,
prices are actually down this year. Now, I know you
saw the same headlines that I saw. I know you
saw exactly the same reporting that I saw, which was,
(02:37):
you know, the tariffs are gonna make things go through
the roofs and the kids and the parents, and how
these poor children. You know, Trump is so mean that
he wants to do this to these kids. But that's
just not the case. In fact, it's not a huge drop.
But prices are down fifteen dollars. Now, if they gone
up fifteen cents, you can imagine the stories they would
have done about it. It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I mean, this is the media that when when Biden said,
what that Thanksgiving one year, the cost was down like
forty one cents for an entire Thanksgiving feast, they printed
that as if it were true and as if it
were meaningful. And what we have here is the media
that claims to be accurate and all powerful. Right, they
(03:18):
know all things. They have these crystal balls, and that's
why we read them because they're so credible. But when
they're wrong, do they ever say so when they're sources
are wrong. Are they ever called back and said Hey,
how do we get this thing so wrong? Just about
every I can't actually think of one news source in
Michigan that Sump was going to win the election last year.
(03:41):
Troy News Polster has Harris winning. Free Press Polster has
Harris winning. You're three four points. Often you don't explain
how that happened. You don't look within and consider your methodology.
So at this point, a good a good knemonic for
dealing with the media is remember that episode of Seinfeld
where George Fansa said he was living life so wrong.
(04:02):
He was just going to do the opposite of his insect.
Look at the opposite. There's probably so whatever they say,
go with the opposite. So I say, DC crime is fine,
DC crime. For I say, Trump Tarff's are going to
end the world. Trump terrifs is going to bring prosperity.
Whatever they say the opposite is often true.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
We got a couple of big stories in Lansing right now.
James Dixon down I seventy five with this over on
X and he's been doing some reporting about this, a
journey General Dana Nassel saying that maybe maybe the im
DC shouldn't be receiving any state funds at all right now,
as they're digging into the investigation and that seemingly corrupt
(04:42):
organization and everything that's happening behind the scenes there. But
we also have Dan and excuse me, dretch and Whitmor,
the governor ending up in court herself and now in
the national spotlight over this story where she You know,
the folks that were now terry. You know, they're defending democracy,
not allowing democracy to even take place, So you won't
(05:04):
even allow a special election so people can be represented
at Lancing.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
The wicked witch of the Midwest strikes again tonight. We
bring you inside the twisted mind of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
As we speak, two hundred and seventy thousand Michiganders have
absolutely no representation in the state Senate, and Governor Whitmer
is keeping them unrepresented to hold on to political power.
How witchy of her. When Governor Whitmer wanted to be
(05:29):
vice president, she had no problem lecturing us all about democracy.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah, Voting is about so much more than standing in
line and checking boxes on a piece of paper. When
you vote, you are telling your family, your neighbors, and
yourself what you want in the future. It is no
wonder that people have fought, bled and died for the
right to vote.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Well, how bad does that make what she's doing, denying
the people the opportunity to do that. You're in the
state of Michigan. That's that Matt Gates on the OAM
last night. What do you what do you make about
this story? It's serious. She's in court over this.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I mean taxation with representation without representation, if you think
about it, that's what started the American Revolution, was the
idea that we're being subject to a tax as a
British empire, but we don't have any seats in Parliament,
so we don't have any say on the bill that
is handed down to us. So whenever they do it,
(06:28):
Michigan lawmakers are going to pass a budget probably in
the eighty billion dollar range, possibly more than that, and
two hundred and seventy thousand people aren't going to have
a waste in the Senate to say maybe we should
or maybe we shouldn't, or we suspend it. This way.
This is taxation without representation. This is arch anti American.
(06:48):
I mean we we ever talked about people have fought
and died for this. Yes, in the American Revolution.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Isn't it interesting? I just you watched all this and
down and how it plays out. Holy smokes, I cannot I.
I just I call this the find out era here, James,
because we are we're all finding out where people really are.
What do you make of this story with Attorney General
Dana Nassel and the MEDC funds? Is she being oh?
(07:23):
I guess uh? Is she be genuine here? Or is
this a play for something else?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You know? I wrote it the Enjoyer that Dana Nessel
is the most dangerous Democrat, the most dangerous politician in
Michigan right now because with no next move, no next office,
she holds a big bully pulpit and a lot of
legal firepower and a lot of you know, information war firepower.
(07:52):
She has a lot of name equity out there, so
when she says something, it matters. But the thing behind
the thing here is she feels free to buck the
Lancing consensus, which Republicans agree with it, Democrats agree with
it that the best way to create jobs, or at
least headlines about jobs, is by giving big bags of
(08:12):
cash to their friends. Democrats did it. Under going back
to Jennifer Grandholme, Republicans did it during the Rick Snyder era.
They did not break serve And so Dana Nessel is
free as someone with no future to say this whole
thing is corrupt and I don't care that someone of
my party is doing it, because if a Republican wins,
(08:33):
they'll do the same thing and it'll be corrupt then.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Too fantastic, Always a pleasure, A good friend. James Dixon
down I seventy five over on X rights from Michigan, enjoyer.
What else are you working on folks need to know
about here in the near future.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Absolutely, Tuesday nights on X. I'm going to have a
spaces the James Dixon Podcast call it see you next Tuesday. Yeah,
we're gonna have a song. We're gonna have Anthony Hudson
running for governor and the Republican race. Uh and every
week we're gonna just talk to somebody but also interact
with the people.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, that sounds like fun time. What time is the
Tuesday nights?
