Speaker 1 (00:00):
James Dixon joins us right now down I seventy five
over on Twitter. X, good morning, my friend.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
How are you hey?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Good morning justin great to hear your voice.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
You too, man, and I you know, I saw we
had a big weekend. In fact, we talk with the
Republican nominee after the convention for Attorney General Doug Lloyd. Again,
just a couple of days back, we'll have Anthony for
Lenion who's running for Secretary of State. As Republicans seem
to be uniting right now, I think a good sign.
(00:28):
I would warn there are some things we ought to
watch out for, but you have been one of the
folks along on myself. We just recognized the importance of
this election in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
And why it matters.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I think it may be even more important for US
as a state. Twenty twenty four was for US as
a nation, and I think it's something that we ought
to continue to ring the alarm on about because you know,
these elections they can get kind of pushed to the back.
You hear the met So was a mid term election, and
there's a lot more happening right now. This is kind
(01:05):
of like our Super Bowl. I think as you've put
it before, as a stake, we've got a lot on the.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Line, Amen.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I mean, so twenty twenty six is not a mid
term for us, it's a final exam. We're one of
thirty six states where they're going to pick their governor.
And in Michigan, every seat in the legislature one hundred
and forty eight seats is available. Governor, Attorney General, Secretary
of State. So that's one hundred and fifty one positions
(01:32):
that are all up for grabs in November. There's only
fourteen offices that are Washington related that are up for grabs.
That's our entire US House delegation at thirteen seats, and
the US Senate seats the fourteenth. And so when people
call it a midterm, it's literally not a mid term
because this is about who's going to lead us in
Lansing less so in Washington, and of those fourteen races,
(01:57):
only about three of those are going to be competitive voting,
the state wide one the Senate. So we really got
to talk about Michigan as a place, and the more
we understand that Michigan is a place with a history,
and that our recent history is Democrats running it into
the ground. I think it's going to be easier to
preach the need for change when you know who the
(02:18):
right main character is.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You know, it's so interesting, as you mentioned, because yes,
we have this big governor's race, we have the Secretary
of State, the attorney general. Those are massive that discerns
really the direction of how we're going to move as
a state. And I think we're on the cliff here,
like we have one foot hanging off and the other
is is sort of leading towards jumping off that cliff.
(02:45):
And yes, we have those decisions that are going to
be made about whether we sink or swim here as
a state, whether you want what we've nearly had for
the last well almost decade. Now this I don't even
want to call it leadership, but the people who have
been in control that really we're in it further into
the ground at a at a time where essentially, James,
it looks like the nation has a moment for a comeback.
(03:06):
We're seeing a massive turn. I mean, what was it?
Was it yesterday? We just saw another massive billion dollar
investment made in the country, another big one. I don't
even remember the coming at us full speed ahead. We
had Apple the other day we had it. I mean,
every day we get another massive announcement of who's going
to be relocating or bringing their manufacturing back to the country,
(03:30):
and this, this latest one escapes me. But I think
it's so important because one of the cases I make,
particularly when I talk to these candidates and these these
giberatorial cancers, you know, we've we've got a chance to
really as as a state here Michigan put it back
on the map. We can make things here in America again.
We can make things great in America again in Michigan.
(03:54):
And why wouldn't we And if we're not careful, if
we don't take this this election with the utmost importance,
we are going to lose out and it could mean
everything for the state. Sink or swimt By the way,
it was German automaker Mercedes four billion dollars that is
going to a plant in Alabama, And that is.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So often the case. And I think you make a
great point, Justin, And I think the takeaway here is
that elections have consequences. An election, a pink wave in
twenty eighteen, a swept in Retchen Whitmer is our governor
led to the kind of political atmosphere. We're right to
work gets repealed in twenty twenty three, so now we're
(04:39):
not a right to work state. Then you see the
Democrats just dismantle any kind of standards for students, for teachers.
Now we have every teacher is an exceptional teacher in Michigan.
But you know, ninety five percent of kids in Detroit
can't read it grave level. We're forty fourth in the
nation and education, all the metrics are going in the
(05:01):
wrong way, but we're told that all the teachers are exceptional.
And so think about Michigan from the eyes.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Of someone who's not from Michigan.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
No affinity, no reason to connect here, right, But you
have a manufacturing concern, Do I put it in a
state with bad roads, with high priced and unreliable energy
and bad schools that my workers would have to send
their kids to, or do I go anywhere else on
the planet where it's just easier to live.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, And that's just that, by the way, If that's
that's the sad reality of where we are right now
and how it's it's been allowed to slip and slidness.
Those energy costs we just heard the other day, what
was it grant you winmor's going to allow consumers to
jump another a big increase on us. And by the way,
it's one thing when you and I have to pay
(05:51):
more and we do, right, and we don't love that,
But it's a whole nother thing when these manufacturers have
to pay more for energy costs. That makes manufacturing go
through the roof. And that's why folks are passing us up.
It's another one of those.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Reasons, all right. And there's another spotlight.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
In fact, I just saw there was an interview with
Abdul al Sayed the other day or just earlier on
on Fox News this morning. Now, we played the audio
yesterday for folks to be able to hear this, but
it was leaked out. Someone in the campaign decided they
were gonna leak this. I guess there was a mall
or somebody inside the campaign, And you.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Know, I don't know who it was. Maybe maybe it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Was a Republican or a conservative who leaked this information out.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Maybe that's that's who it was.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
It was a guy named Jordan doming A. Joyer has
a story about this guy today, Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So tell us about the guy reaching.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Out to anyone who would listen with bad stuff about
Syed and man, see it turns out he really did
have the goods.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well, this is the things I said.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I don't know if it's a Republican or a Democrat,
because at the end of the day, the Democrats, I
think they're starting to see the tie turn on this
deal too, and they don't want him to be the
guy to run, so I would I would see I
could see them pulling that too. So nevertheless, this is
the audio here. Let's play a little bit of it
so folks can hear it again. But he's saying, and
this is damning. He's saying, as a guy who's running
(07:16):
for Senate here in Michigan, that he didn't want to
put out a statement on the Ayatola.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And here's why this is going to the state wise
reason House. I want to remind you guys that there
are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today.
There are a lot of people in Dearborn who are
sad today. So like, I just don't.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Want to comment on him in a at all.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I don't think it's worse.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
This is the guy who would go to represent you
in the Senate. And by the way, I know he's
like blatant, he's over. They're not hiding it anymore. But
every single one of these Democrat candidates is just as radical,
but in their own little way. It's no longer a
choice over hey, a little bit more taxes, a little
(08:05):
bit less, maybe some more government funding. It's literally the
people that love this country and the people that.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Hate it and would destroy it. That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
We are up against powers and principalities. These are not
the Democrats who said that abortions should be safe, legal
and rare, and social security we should mend it, not
end it. These are not people reaching across the aisle
and a common humanity. These are people with a rock
in their hand, and if you don't take it out
of their hands, they'll smash the castle with it. They've
(08:35):
shown their murderous intent. They've shown that they would let
millions of people in and put them on the public
goal that we pay for and come after us hard
for that tax money to keep the whole scam going.
And so, do we want a government that runs for
the purposes of government and the ends of the people
involved the bureaucrats, or do we want we the people
(08:56):
to lead that's what's a stake right now. Michigan can
go one of two directions, and if we go with
the government and the bureaucrats, there's not going to be
a Michigan to speak of in a few years.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
James Dixon always a pleasure down Ice seventy five over
on X right to the Michigan Enjoyer. But he also
has his own podcast, What are you working on that
folks go to keep an eye out for.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
You know, we're going to talk about making politics local
again and how we got the Michigan Constitution of nineteen
sixty three, which was.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Approved with just about seven thousand votes. So people think
voting doesn't matter if it was approved on an April
day by seven thousand votes. We're going to tell that
story very soon.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
It's it's wild to me to watch how some of
these things take place and what a what a story
for history there. But like, this is why participation matters,
he does. You have to be plugged in because when
you when you aren't, you're going to miss things that
will have massive impact. And by the way, this is
(09:58):
this is no coincidence, This is by design. This is
why they do what they do and how they did
because they essentially they don't really care if you're involved
or not. They probably prefer that you not be involved.
They just want to get it done what they want
and whatever that is in various different ways and times.
(10:21):
This is how they pull it out because you have
the power, you have the authority. The only way they
end up with any of it is when you abdicate.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
And let them have it.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That's exactly it. They count on us not speaking up.
So let's speak up, let's show up, and let's take
our state back.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Amen, our good friend James Stixon always a pleasure down
I seventy five over on X.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Thank you, my friend, Thank you justin Take care you too.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
God bless
