Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I just want to
say that we cannot properly celebrate the President's birthday this
week without today's guest, Michael Loftist. I don't know if
any of you got to see the cake, but eighty
one candles is pretty much like a backyard bonfire. And
I think it's really strange because it's almost as if
no one in the White House has ever been told
(00:23):
that you can buy candles with the number on them
instead of like eighty one full candles and put it
on a cake. What I don't know. You have to
look at it. If you didn't see the picture, you
have to look at the picture. But the funny thing
about this is that this is what we saw. It's
Biden's birthday, but it turns out that Donald Trump is
in great health. He dropped the news on Biden's birthday
(00:44):
because Donald Trump is many things, including one of the
world's greatest trolls, so he was trolling Joe Biden on
his birthday. But remember, Donald Trump's health is one thing,

and honestly, I want to bring in Michael Loftis to
talk a little bit about this because I feel like
(02:12):
Joe Biden could really use some balance of nature. He
is eighty one now, he has just celebrated that birthday.
I'm not sure he's using balance of nature. What do
you think I.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Think he needs to? Seriously, that would be? That would
be wouldn't that be phenomenal If if like, all of
a sudden, he's like, I'm doing balance of nature and
all of a sudden he really kicks it up a gear,
that'll be the best testimonial ever.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I think that my theory is that he's not because
I don't know if you saw the turkey pardon, so
tomorrow is Thanksgiving, but he pardoned the turkeys already Liberty
and Bell. And then he started talking about we believe
it was supposed to be about Taylor Swift, but he
started talking about Britney Spears and I was like, there
(03:00):
were a few things that this made me think of.
I'm like, okay, so obviously Joe Biden really loved Britney
Spears and that was a few years ago that she
was popular. And I believe that when he starts talking
about things like their modern day. That is, that's the
decade he's living in at that moment. Yes, don't you think.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Right, It's like, even though it's twenty twenty three, when
I think, like, oh, ten years ago, I think it's
the nineties. Like Joe Biden, he's locked in like nineteen
eighty one, right, Like Britney's still marching down the hallways
where in her little school grow up. I bet that
was his favorite video.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm yeah, now that you mentioned that, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah,
he probably did. But I'm sure he has not read
the new tell All book. I mean, think about it.
Things have gotten pretty depressing. So somebody needs to say
to Joe the guardianship ended and things all went to crap.
I mean, it really fell apart. Don't you think there was.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
A It's like a comment, right, Like Like Britney, her
Instagram account was just glorious for a while. She was
dancing around, you know, doing some tasteful nude stuff, and
you're like, oh, she's happy with who she is, right Yeah.
A couple of days later, she's got knives and lah,
(04:18):
she's got crazy aoz eyes, and you're like, oh, man,
she's gone over the edge.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
But that just goes to show how much social media
can have an impact on your life and how little
you should trust social media because like I put things
out on social media and then I don't read the
messages because there are there are a lot of mean ones, right,
But people get really sucked into this. So remember when
it was like the Free Britney movement and everybody was
like that, she's got to be let go from this
(04:46):
guardianship because what do we know about Britney spears life.
Obviously nothing, we knew nothing. It's just to be clear.
I wasn't fighting for.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
That, No, it's it's but it is. It's just like
a bummer. It's like America loves the underdog and Britney
Spears no real and Britney Spears was like this underdog.
It's like, Wow, she's been a child star blah blah
blah blah blah, and now she's got these guardians who
won't let her enjoy her freedom. And we're like, go
go fly, be free. And then you get the knife
(05:15):
and you're like, okay, let's got the guardians back in here.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I know, I know, and I totally blamed Disney for this.
I'm like, how did Disney let this happen to their mousketeers.
I remember when they were all together and look at
this tell All book with Justin that there was an
ugly part of that, a few ugly parts of that
whole relationship of Britney and Justin.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, I don't I don't know how much faith I
put into Britney's memory of of anything. You know, I
told you I ordered seven coy ponds. I ordered seven
coy So but it is, it's it's the very rare
(05:56):
thing I've written on a couple of TV shows, and
without getting into specif it's the child stars, it's almost
without fail, the parent. The parent is living vicariously through
them and pushing them to do this. You know. But boy,
that so I feel bad for Britney. I'm always gonna
(06:17):
it's weird. It's like, it's like your little sister who
just keeps picking the wrong dude.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I know, I know. So she's a little younger than me.
And when I was in college, I know it's shocking, horrifying.
I'm really old, But when I was in college, I
remember so funny how you're like college Mine thinks cause
I think I was a freshman or a sophomore when
there was this rumor that Britney Spears was going to
go to the University of Kentucky, and that's where I was,
(06:46):
and it was like, I guess it would be the
equivalent of Taylor Swift suddenly showing up at your college. Now,
because people were like over the moon, they kind of
believe it. Girls were super excited and terrified about their
boyfriends wanting to be with Brittany. Dudes couldn't even hide it.
They were like, oh, my gosh, I hope she wears
that little school girl. Really, she's so hot. You know. Boy,
(07:08):
things have changed, they really have.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It's it's wild. It's the uh, the social media part
of it has taking away the more these it's this
weird conundrum. They post about their private lives. They post
all these political opinions, they post all this stuff so
you know who they are, which just like totally eradicates
(07:33):
any mystery. And that's like back in the day, you know,
in Brittany, Oh, where's she going to go to college?
There's like a mystery involved there, and and mystery, in
my opinion, is so much more attractive than the reality
of the crazy eyed Knife.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Dance, right. And the funny thing about that is social media.
None of it is actually real, and so there's there
is like this fake, this fake life that people are
trying to get to. But I think that's kind of
that has sort of taken away from Hollywood in general,
because it used to be that I knew nothing about
my favorite stars. I was actually thinking about this this
(08:08):
morning because I was thinking about there's this new Napoleon
movie coming out, and the there's doing this complaint in
France that it's not accurate, that it's like the British
version of Napoleon. Of course, you know, people are so
mad about it. But I thought about, I have seen
horrible movies lately. There have been no good movies, and
I'm really hoping that this one is good because I
actually love movies. And I know people are like, oh,
(08:30):
Hollywood sucks, but I love it. I love movies. I
love going into a movie and being sucked into it.
I love being able to watch movies at home. But
it started to get ruined when I learned who the
actors really were. I don't want to know their political opinions.
I want Jack from Titanic to be this amazing. I
never want to know Leonardo DiCaprio. I want him to
always be Jack. I'm mad at Rose for not moving
(08:52):
over on that little raft things.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
There's room on the door for everybody. She let him die,
she did.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Why did he have to die.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So she'd have a story? But I know, true love.
But I'm with you one hundred and ten percent. I
remember when I was a kid, my uncle a great guy,
but he had been in the military, was a medic
in Vietnam. And just like he could not look at
(09:24):
a photograph of Jane Fonda, like he could not, he
would not not for one second, like he loathed her.
And it really is a drag when there's like a
movie coming out and you're excited about it, but you
know that the star is just being a total douche.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know, I used to love the movie Ghost, and
now I can't watch it because are you going to,
Sir Patrick Swayzey jump into Whoopy Goldberg anymore?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Maybe that's what happened. Maybe Whoopy Goldberg has been possessed
this whole time by something woman. She doesn't want to
say any of this stuff, but she just like wakes
up on the set of the view after being possessed
and eating seven seven full sized meals.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
That's what I think when I see her now, I'm like, well,
who's inside of their I never know because she was
obviously able to bring him. But it was so romantic
and nah, now that I'm actually thinking about it again,
though it was kind of creepy.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Oh a ghost is a great flick, and as a
comedian because that was one of the Zucker brothers who
did that. Oh really, Oh my gosh, Yeah, the guys
who did Airplane and the Naked Gun. And it's like, yes,
comedians are better at everything you want. You want a
(10:48):
romantic ghost story, Boom, we can do that. It was great,
fast buzz.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon Podcast. All right, so, I don't know
how we got off on this. This was not what
we were intending to talk about. But I do love
talking to you about things that are just completely off
the wall. But I have to ask you and Brace,
what do you think about these latest numbers with Trump
(11:16):
being the winner in the now it's a year out.
I just want to say, it's a year out, but
if you look at the polls. Trump right now is
winning against Biden, which I was told by many people.
And remember I had a whole year of campaigning myself.
There was like Trump is deadly, he can never win again.
But now what changed? How did this happen?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well, it is the truth. You can only keep the
truth a secret for so long. And America is looking
at the Trump policies and his presidency and it was great.
It was really great. We were cranking right along and
everything that they tried to warn us, Oh Trump's going
(11:59):
to start World War tis read, Oh Trump's gonna do this.
Oh Trump Joe Biden has given us all that and more.
Like the country, it feels like it's crumbling in real
time and and and especially now right before Thanksgiving. Holy Schnikeys,
you want to you wanna a constant advertisement to vote
(12:19):
for Trump. Look at your grocery store receipt. They can write,
Oh it's my god. I went to I went to
buy a turkey, and then like a little like like
a side Ham the other day, we need to meet
up on Aisle me because I about about poop my plants.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I bought my turkey a few days ago, and then
we went out of town. For the weekend, and I
was like, I have to get everything else for Thanksgiving
dinner for by last night, because you know, you go
to the grocery store, everything's gone. It's like the people
that have never gone to the grocery store show up
and buy things they've never bought before. So I'm like,
I'm not going to get a few crucial items that
(12:57):
I need. So I go there last night and this,
I just want to be clear, not including the turkey,
just the things for Thanksgiving. This was four hundred dollars. Yeah,
the meal. That's insane.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
That hurts on every level, and it's like it's incontrovertible.
I mean, this is affecting everybody I used to joke around.
I want to be rich, and I want to be
so wealthy I can be a Democrat, Right, that's how
That's how rich I want to be, because that seems
like those are the only people who are pretending to
enjoy this bullshit. Right. It's these big Hollywood you know,
(13:37):
giant They've got hundreds of millions of dollars and they're like,
I just care about people, when literally every across every
other spectrum of America, people are just getting walloped at
the freaking grocery store, their electric bill, their gas bill, everything.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
So yeah, Trump, And the funny thing about Joe Biden
being president now is that it's not like this is
the first time he tried to be president. He tried
to be president a few times before, he never got there,
and now he's finally there. I mean, this is somebody
who's been in government his whole entire life. And the
funny thing about it is the first time he didn't
(14:16):
make it to becoming president. He had to step out
of the race because of plagiarism. This is a guy
who just constantly tells lies and now they're using that
as well. You know, he's old, he's just forgotten how
it's gone. He's like, no, he was doing this in
his forties. He was lying. And so now we have
this guy who is a liar who is in office,
but he really does seem like he's not exactly the
(14:40):
guy he was. He's certainly not able to speak without
he has to have a teleprompter at all times. And
it's funny because I had somebody who was talking to
me about going to Bob Dylan concerts, and this reminded
me of Joe because I said, well, what, were they
always the same? And he said, no, No. Twenty years
ago when I would go, you know, he was guitar
and he would sing his songs from memory. But now
(15:02):
he's in his eighties and he sits at the piano
and a lot of times he has his song lyrics there,
so he's reading the song lyrics. But I think he's just,
you know, he just has to have that extra step.
That's okay for a musician. For Joe Biden, it's not.
In my opinion, it's really not that the president of
the United States cannot talk about state issues, cannot talk
(15:24):
about him sitting down with heads of states of other
country countries and talking about what's happening with a pending
world war, which is really I mean, I think most
of us are looking at this and saying, now, you
have some pretty nasty characters coming together right now in
the world, and we're relying on Joe Biden. But the
funny thing is they talked about his birthday. I talked
(15:48):
about the bonfire that he had, which was weird. I mean,
they really genuinely lit eighty one candles on a cake
and they tried to make this cute and he was like, Oh,
it's you know, this is what it's like when you're
one hundred and forty seven or whatever. He tweeted out.
They're trying to make the age thing cute.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
The thing that I don't get is that he is
eighty one and Trump is what seventy seven, And it's
really hard to say that Trump is having those same
concerns because he doesn't seem like Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
No, and like Mick Jagger is up there too, Like right,
Mick and the Stones are not any spring chickens. But
it's like it affects anybody differently. The funny thing to
me about all this is, is anybody believing that Joe
Biden is really in charge? Like that's right, Yeah, it's
(16:41):
the reason we used to have journalism that you could
kind of trust, right, And that's when Joe Biden, you know,
for plagiarism twice, plagiarism twice, and the journalists they called
him out and he did the upstanding thing. But now
you have and this is what happened with Trump. You
have the entire weight of the media, the swamp, big government,
(17:05):
the FBI, they're all teaming up against Trump, and they're
all teaming up to shore up Joe Biden. And these
these just mind boggling bad policies and like, and they
make them carry those note cards. You come in here,
you say this, you pointed her, you sit down, Like,
(17:28):
who prints up that card? That's who's in charge. That's
who's in charge of the government.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
But it's see, the scary thing to me about that
is the person printing that card actually isn't the person
who told the intern to print that card is in charge.
And there are so many people that are on that
lower rung of government who know Joe Biden's not in charge,
and yet yeah, we don't know who actually is. That's
the scary thing to me. There is this whole undercurrent
(17:56):
of people, underground, group of people who know that there
is some other force out there, and yet we the
American people, don't. And I got to say, like, even
when I look at this situation with a Donald Trump
Joe Biden matchup, I think, how are we in the
situation where we have two people that would honestly never
(18:17):
be chosen to run a company because people would not
look at the people who are octagenarians to run their company.
You know, that's not who they're looking for, and yet
that's who we're choosing from for president. It does seem
weird to me.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, well it's uh with with with Trump, I think
you could you could possibly choose him because he's run
a company before, right, It's true. Yeah, he's got a
track record. Oh I've got like you, like Warren Buffett,
you'd still trust him with your stock portfolio, right, it's
like ninety eight or some shit. But like, uh, it's
(18:55):
funny that, like, like it's the Democrats and the liberals
who are like, oh, Trump is a threat to democracy,
and we're here having a casual conversation that the guy
in the White House isn't really the president. He's not
really calling the shots, right, And they're warning us about
o'donald's bad for democracy. Honey, you don't even know what
(19:17):
democracy is with your shadow government.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
But they also they're clearly putting Gavin Newsom into these
positions of you know, let's slowly warm the people up
to him. Now. Yes, the weird thing to me is
what is the message who is put behind him and
what is the message they're putting out Because the two
main events have been with the president or the president
(19:43):
of China. This the dictator, Hey d even call him
that President g This guy is a bad actor. He
is someone who wants to take over the United States?
Is he behind us? Are the Chinese behind this? Gavin
Newsom rise because they bring him out there, they're probably
like dufists, do not run over children on the basketball court.
(20:04):
That was a weird thing. Did you see that?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
No on?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh my gosh. He goes to China and he's like
playing basketball right with all these young like these kids
are like seven years old, and he just annihilates one
of them. He's like rushing for the ball and he
takes this kid down and then he's like, oh this
is cute and spanks him on the button. I'm like
this whole thing. If you can't even play basketball with
(20:28):
seven year olds, you're a wreck.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
But he's come back. He had g come to California.
You know, he got to come out and talk about this.
This is where the president of China came to California
and Gavin Newsom got to be the star of that. Really,
you never heard anything about Joe Biden's visit there, but
Gavin Newsom talked quite a bit about it. Who is
(20:52):
behind his rise.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
It's a couple of odd things about that. And I
was talking about this on my podcast, The Loftest Party podcast.
Uh with with with with the homeless people that suddenly
disappeared in San Francisco? Did anybody check up on them?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Are?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Like?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Where did they go?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
They? Are they living in our sewer tunnels? Are they
like some part of some new Marvel movie? And then
also a shout out to Gavin Newsom. He was awesome
in the original die Hard. He was great, Uh in
Diehard when he would do the coke and be like, Hans, Baby,
(21:33):
let's negotiate that. That's it's the same guy. It's the
same He.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Is the perfect villain. And that is this that when
you look at him, I'm like, do not trust the
handsome man from California. He's the perfect He's cast in
every movie. Yeah, does no one see this? Right? This
guy is from villains here he is?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah? It is, uh, the whole, the whole Dick g
China visit or visit to to San Francisco was just
horrifying to me. It was just completely horrifying how they
decided that that this guy who routinely rounds people up
and puts them into work camps and makes them, you know,
(22:16):
make our shoes and our iPhones, and god, the how
many wigers and whatever uh that they they decide that, oh,
there's a there's a there's a dictator from out of
town coming, let's clean this place up. Meanwhile, the people
who are paying the bills in San Francisco are routinely
getting shot, stabbed, raped, mugged, stepping on needles and worse.
(22:41):
It's I don't know if you could have a more
shining example of just how little the people of San
Francisco meet like that they are, they are less than ants.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
But here's something, here's a different perspective on that, because
think about those people vote for Democrats every time, even
though so they know that their city is falling apart,
they kept complained about the homeless problem. They are also
the biggest advocates for taking care of people. Love is love,
let's be be careful with humans and all of this.
(23:13):
But when the people were cleared off the streets, you
did not see when the homeless people were cleared off
the streets, you did not see activists San Franciscans coming
out on TV and going where are they right? What
are we doing? With them. How are they are they safe?
Have we taken good care of them? No one questioned it.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, because they were absolved of their sins because it
wasn't them that did it, it was someone else, so
they could still have the moral high ground. Oh oh
my goodness. Well, I guess something happened that might not
have been a good thing, and that's what it I
I'm going to start saying this more and more. Ben
Shapiro famously said, facts don't care about your feelings. Now,
(23:59):
that's not getting us anywhere. It really isn't if you
if you're looking at winning elections, because I think what
we've learned from the past few election cycles, feelings don't
care about your.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Facts, right, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Everybody's voting emotionally. It's all these emotionally charged issues. And
like in Ohio they just had one where like they
want they want to be able to kill a baby
until like the moment it is born. But yeah, the
way they the way they frame the argument. They if
I was a woman in Ohio, I'd be terrified of
(24:36):
the Republican Party because they make it sound like you're
going to get raped by your uncle. Every woman in
the state is going to be held down and impregnated
by their uncle. You will be forced to carry the baby,
and then that will be your You'll be you'll let
You'll live the rest of your life in a barn
where every ten months it was. It was just horrifying.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next. On
a Tutor Dixon podcast, our pastor over the weekend, he
was just talking about how he when he was a kid,
he read a manual for the boy Scouts and then
he thought, you know, it told him what to do
how to build a fire, and then what to do
(25:16):
if you catch on fire, and the importance of walking
old women across the street and all this, And he said,
my child mind thought, I'm going to catch on fire
all the time, like I've got to know how to
make sure and there are going to be old women
lonely walking across the street, Like I've got to make
sure I know these facts.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
You got to be ready.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
But I thought, wow, that's so interesting, because when you
hear something like that, that is really what you think.
You're like, Man, how often is this going to happen
to me? But you're right about that for those commercials,
because if you are a young voter in your twenties,
You're like, anything could happen. And that was actually something
that Gretchen Witmer was interviewed at the end of the
(25:59):
race governor and her daughter is came out at that moment.
In this Washington Post interview, they went up to Macanaugh,
up to the island where the summer home is. They
sat with the governor and the two daughters and her husband,
and the one daughter said, you know, I'm coming out,
and I've never told anybody this, but I'm coming out.
I'm coming out because I've never had to use birth
(26:20):
control before now, but because Republicans may make abortion illegal,
I have to be on birth control even though I
can't get pregnant from one of my partners because I'm
a lesbian. And people were like, wow, do I wrap
my mind around what was just said? What does that mean?
And she's like, because I'll likely get raped on campus
and I won't be safe. Yes, that message is I mean,
(26:44):
that's a very twisted message to tell young women. Now,
I will say I'll give her some credit. In Michigan,
we are in the top five percent of states for
rapes for capita, so maybe her mom should do something
about that. Maybe they should focus on that.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Would suggest that. And like I know, and on college campuses,
they're they're pretty loosey goosey with how they define rape, right, like, oh,
he looked at me and I was uncomfortable. That's rape.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I mean, it's so someone was recently phone raped at
Michigan State. I don't know if you heard that.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
If those statistics were true, if the college rape statistics
were true, no one would send their kids to college.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's I don't but there are a lot of reasons
not to send your kids to collogy saying I know,
how did we miss what's actually happening on college campuses.
That's been horrifying to me seeing these kids come out
and they're young, but again it's the same message, because
it's like, you know, I might catch on fire, someday,
I might get raped, someday I might have someone oppress
(27:51):
me one day. Yeah, And so now that's what we're
seeing with this whole Hammas coming out on behalf of
Hamas and saying, oh, these these babies weren't murdered, these
women were not raped, like all of the things that
we've talked about, the same message that they used to
win on abortion as you could get raped some day.
They are telling people, these people are not getting raped.
(28:12):
Don't believe them. They're being oppressed. This is legitimate, it's okay,
how does work well?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
They keep getting to the kids younger and younger, and
it's every aspect of the culture. So it's not your
college is just like the icing on the cake, and
everything now is viewed through this lens of it's not
a moral thing. It's not right or wrong. It's like
you're saying oppressed and oppressor, and it's just wild. I
(28:45):
remember during the George Floyd riots. I mean, these people
were burning down businesses, ruining cities. People were being killed
left and right. It was an absolute horror show. And
every left wing pundit on TV is like what we
have to ask, like why are they so upset? Why
(29:06):
are they so upset? And then that's it's the same
thing they're doing with Hamas. Now, let's not talk about
what they did, why did they do it? Why are
they so upset? And then on the other hand, when
you've got January sixth, no one wants to talk about
why everybody was there on January sixth. It's just like
the laws the law, they need to go to jail
(29:28):
for twenty two years. So that's what the left is
really good at. It's just like framing it oppressed oppressor,
and every oh, I'm the victim. I'm the victim here,
so I must be correct. And it's there's no pot
of gold at the end of that rainbow. And the
right has ignored culture and ignored the school system way
(29:51):
too long.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Like you know, I think you're right, the right is not.
I had a podcast a couple of days ago on
abortion and I just said, look, I was running when
this was overturned, and let me tell you there was
no message. But isn't that weird to you that for
fifty years people put hundreds of millions of dollars into
pro life organizations and it was like spread the message
(30:13):
of the importance of life, and that clearly didn't happen.
And then when they got what they wanted for all
those years of overturning Roe v. Wade. I mean, I
was there, Michael. I'm telling you. We were like, okay,
how do we handle this? And they're like, I mean
you just say the other side is radical? No, Because
if you're saying I'm going to either give you no abortion,
(30:36):
or I'm going to give you no limits abortion. People
are always going to go for no limits because they
don't want what they think of as a right taken away.
But you're right about if you were to educate people.
Almost no country has more than fourteen weeks, almost none, right.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
And it's like these kids who are running around I
saw this great, really wonderful video. This kid was asking
people to sign this like pro Hamas petition, this pro
Palestine petition, and he goes, okay, so when you sign this,
you're okay with like, you know, throwing rocks at women
when they're out after dark by themselves. And these people
(31:12):
are horrified by it, right, So it is I call
it political kung fu. And it was wild to watch
the right just fumble this, like when when Roe versus Wade,
when they were like, this is not constitutional, you guys,
this doesn't, this doesn't we're kicking it back to the states.
It was mind boggling to me to watch all these
(31:32):
politicians not be go, yeah, that should be the states' rights.
That should it should be up to states. It doesn't
hold much of So let's talk about it and what
the people of our state want to do. I think
it's probably a bad idea after fourteen weeks and you know,
and safe legal rare that whole thing. But it was wild,
(31:53):
like Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham put up some crazy bill
trying to make abortion illegal nationwide after that, and you're like,
why would you do that, Lindsey Graham? Why would you
throw gasoline onto a dumpster?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Fick I will tell you that's because there is this
this disaster in the Republican Party of having always been
there for these groups. These groups are very influential. A
lot of the money comes from the pro life movement
because people believed that there was a pro life movement.
And the sad thing was that they woke up and
(32:32):
realized that they were putting money into a lobbyist committee,
but not a movement for culture. This was not affecting
people's hearts and minds, and so you just had politicians
standing there naked once they weren't they didn't have roe
v wade to wrap around their bodies. And it was
a real shocker for the Republican Party. So this has
(32:53):
been a scramble of well, if we put that out there,
will that will that be cover for our politicians, and
it hasn't been because the education has not been there.
Look in other countries they say most of them are
ten weeks, but they range from ten to fourteen. Sweden
I think is eighteen, the Netherlands is twenty fourth. That's it.
(33:13):
That's as far as they go. And then they have
some also some precautions of like if the mother's health
is in danger, then you can go beyond that. Yeah,
but see the Democrats will go, oh, well, we have
this one scenario that this is going to happen and
no one's going to be there to protect this woman.
That doesn't happen in other countries, but we haven't been
able to talk about that for some reason.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Well, and the people need to understand. And I'm talking
about the GOP and the right and everybody. It's like
steering the Titanic. You're talking about reintroducing a moral compass,
and it is the and culture said it really well
the other day, like pro pro life is the equivalent
(33:59):
of defund the police.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Right now, it's sadly, isn't that sad?
Speaker 2 (34:04):
On your back? And so politicians are going to have
to come out and go listen, you know, safe legal
and rare, safe, legal, and rare up to a certain week,
and like, uh, if the right, but if the right
turns on those politicians, you might as well not invest
in another. You're not going to win. You're not going
(34:24):
to win if you if if you are.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I've seen people say I don't care if we win.
If you it's a moral issue, and I'm like, this
is not meaning that those individual people will not continue
to fight for life, because there is more than one
way to fight for life. Yes, but if you are
going to hang everybody that goes out there and no
one's going to get in there to have any other
type of impact, where is your life movement?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Then right, it's it's over. And when you can't introduce
stuff and I'm I'm I'm talking. Look at what they're
doing to the kids in elementary schools now about questioning
their gender and all of this. They're introducing these woke,
this woke ideology as soon as they can. So, yeah,
(35:07):
if we can't get people on school boards, if we
can't get people in local politics and introducing some kind
of moral compass to all of this, just the you're
you're you're arguing about the barn being on fire, way
after all of the animals are gone, and it's it's
(35:28):
just over You're just crying over spilt milk.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
It's such a hard balance. And I've talked to you
for way longer than I expected to, but I could
honestly talk to you for hours because it's just it's
very interesting. And I will just say that my daughter
is in seventh grade and so they're learning all about
sex SED right now, and I mean we were going
through the key terms and it's I don't even know
(35:53):
if on the off chance someone younger is listening. It's
pretty intense. You know, she's learning exactly how everything happens, right,
which I think is good. And then I was talking
to my girlfriend and her son goes to different school,
and she's like, he came home and he was like, Mom,
did you know that you can get STDs if you
have sex with your mouth? And she was like, I
was not ready for that. Yeah, I just know that
(36:15):
that conversation was going to be had at school. And
I think that's the problem is people are like, there's
so many different versions going into my kid's mind. But
I will say that I had a girlfriend who got
pregnant at sixteen and people think that everybody knows everything
these days, and not all families talk about it. And
if you want to be truly pro life, this young
(36:37):
woman at sixteen went and had an abortion because she
didn't want to tell her parents. But she also said,
you have to understand, tutor, no one ever told me
how you get pregnant, right, so think about that. So
there is a benefit to the school saying be careful.
But how far do you want to go? I mean,
that's a whole nother conversation, but.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
It is, it really is, And it's one thing to go, well,
here's the biology. Here's the biology of it. Women have
ovaries and once a month blah blah blah blah blah.
And men that's one thing. And then it's completely different
to send like a you know, an eleven year old
old old home from school going, boy, if you're gonna
do butt stuff, you better have lube.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
But like exactly, yes, yes, she I will say. She
did say that. Her son was like, yeah, these things.
The egg it comes down from the Philippian tubes and
pops out of the oderie and she was like, you
have none of these words, right, that's crap.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
That's like a modern day, Andy Griffa, sit here. Filippian
tubes have the eggs in there and then they come
out in the rotary phone. So once a month you
gotta hit the belly button get a reset. That's all works.
I have it.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
She said, Yep, that happens once a month. And he
was like, that happens once a month. He said that
sounds horrible.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Right, so now he has apathy. That's great. Hooray Pa.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yes, schools, Yes, exactly exactly. I mean it was it
was all very There are good things that happen. We
don't have to be totally down on everything that happens
in school that teaches kids about things that are uncomfortable.
Not all parents are talking about it either.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
That is that is true, But it's a it's a
very easy line to cross. And I tell you what,
when they cross it, they got to go bye bye
like I.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Want exactly like if I had if we if I
had some of these conversations that teachers are having with
their students, if you had them in a work environment,
you're going to lose your job.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
They're going to send you.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
That valid point exactly. I know people say.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
That conversation with a child, if you when if you
do it at the Kroger grocery store, you're not allowed
to work the frozen food department anymore.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
That's what we used to say. If I if I
take a book to the book to the bus stop
and read it to a kid, and I get arrested
for reading it at the bus stop, you shouldn't be
reading it at the school ticket. That's that's the facts.
So I don't this. We have to We'll have to
get into this another time. But I do so enjoy
(39:12):
talking to you. I so enjoy your your takes on
things that I want you to tell our audience where
else they can find you because you have a podcast.
But you have a show too, right, Oh.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
My goodness, we got brand new episodes of that show tonight.
It's sketch comedy, but it's it's a non woke we
love America. It's it's hilarious that show tonight dot com.
And then everybody should go to the loftusparty dot com
every single day, several times a day. It's like it is.
(39:41):
It is the nature's balance for your soul.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Michael Loft is the balance of nature. Yes, for comedy,
it is true. I think that it's important for you
to have comedy in your life, because I was thinking
about this the other day. If you are there is
not enough laughing anymore. I just see people, well there
you used to see people laughing, except I lived live
in New York for a year and there was a
lot of yelling that year. But you used to see
people laughing, and now there's not as much laughing. So

definitely visit Michael Loftis. Make sure you go often and
get your dose of comedy for the day.

Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I just want to
say that we cannot properly celebrate the President's birthday this
week without today's guest, Michael Loftist. I don't know if
any of you got to see the cake, but eighty
one candles is pretty much like a backyard bonfire. And
I think it's really strange because it's almost as if
no one in the White House has ever been told
(00:23):
that you can buy candles with the number on them
instead of like eighty one full candles and put it
on a cake. What I don't know. You have to
look at it. If you didn't see the picture, you
have to look at the picture. But the funny thing
about this is that this is what we saw. It's
Biden's birthday, but it turns out that Donald Trump is
in great health. He dropped the news on Biden's birthday
(00:44):
because Donald Trump is many things, including one of the
world's greatest trolls, so he was trolling Joe Biden on
his birthday. But remember, Donald Trump's health is one thing,
but what about your health? You cannot put a price
on your health. I stay energy and keep doing what

talk a little bit about this because I feel like
(02:12):
Joe Biden could really use some balance of nature. He
is eighty one now, he has just celebrated that birthday.
I'm not sure he's using balance of nature. What do
you think I.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Think he needs to? Seriously, that would be? That would
be wouldn't that be phenomenal If if like, all of
a sudden, he's like, I'm doing balance of nature and
all of a sudden he really kicks it up a gear,
that'll be the best testimonial ever.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I think that my theory is that he's not because
I don't know if you saw the turkey pardon, so
tomorrow is Thanksgiving, but he pardoned the turkeys already Liberty
and Bell. And then he started talking about we believe
it was supposed to be about Taylor Swift, but he
started talking about Britney Spears and I was like, there
(03:00):
were a few things that this made me think of.
I'm like, okay, so obviously Joe Biden really loved Britney
Spears and that was a few years ago that she
was popular. And I believe that when he starts talking
about things like their modern day. That is, that's the
decade he's living in at that moment. Yes, don't you think.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Right, It's like, even though it's twenty twenty three, when
I think, like, oh, ten years ago, I think it's
the nineties. Like Joe Biden, he's locked in like nineteen
eighty one, right, Like Britney's still marching down the hallways
where in her little school grow up. I bet that
was his favorite video.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm yeah, now that you mentioned that, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah,
he probably did. But I'm sure he has not read
the new tell All book. I mean, think about it.
Things have gotten pretty depressing. So somebody needs to say
to Joe the guardianship ended and things all went to crap.
I mean, it really fell apart. Don't you think there was.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
A It's like a comment, right, Like Like Britney, her
Instagram account was just glorious for a while. She was
dancing around, you know, doing some tasteful nude stuff, and
you're like, oh, she's happy with who she is, right Yeah.
A couple of days later, she's got knives and lah,
(04:18):
she's got crazy aoz eyes, and you're like, oh, man,
she's gone over the edge.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
But that just goes to show how much social media
can have an impact on your life and how little
you should trust social media because like I put things
out on social media and then I don't read the
messages because there are there are a lot of mean ones, right,
But people get really sucked into this. So remember when
it was like the Free Britney movement and everybody was
like that, she's got to be let go from this
(04:46):
guardianship because what do we know about Britney spears life.
Obviously nothing, we knew nothing. It's just to be clear.
I wasn't fighting for.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
That, No, it's it's but it is. It's just like
a bummer. It's like America loves the underdog and Britney
Spears no real and Britney Spears was like this underdog.
It's like, Wow, she's been a child star blah blah
blah blah blah, and now she's got these guardians who
won't let her enjoy her freedom. And we're like, go
go fly, be free. And then you get the knife
(05:15):
and you're like, okay, let's got the guardians back in here.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I know, I know, and I totally blamed Disney for this.
I'm like, how did Disney let this happen to their mousketeers.
I remember when they were all together and look at
this tell All book with Justin that there was an
ugly part of that, a few ugly parts of that
whole relationship of Britney and Justin.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, I don't I don't know how much faith I
put into Britney's memory of of anything. You know, I
told you I ordered seven coy ponds. I ordered seven
coy So but it is, it's it's the very rare
(05:56):
thing I've written on a couple of TV shows, and
without getting into specif it's the child stars, it's almost
without fail, the parent. The parent is living vicariously through
them and pushing them to do this. You know. But boy,
that so I feel bad for Britney. I'm always gonna
(06:17):
it's weird. It's like, it's like your little sister who
just keeps picking the wrong dude.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I know, I know. So she's a little younger than me.
And when I was in college, I know it's shocking, horrifying.
I'm really old, But when I was in college, I
remember so funny how you're like college Mine thinks cause
I think I was a freshman or a sophomore when
there was this rumor that Britney Spears was going to
go to the University of Kentucky, and that's where I was,
(06:46):
and it was like, I guess it would be the
equivalent of Taylor Swift suddenly showing up at your college. Now,
because people were like over the moon, they kind of
believe it. Girls were super excited and terrified about their
boyfriends wanting to be with Brittany. Dudes couldn't even hide it.
They were like, oh, my gosh, I hope she wears
that little school girl. Really, she's so hot. You know. Boy,
(07:08):
things have changed, they really have.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It's it's wild. It's the uh, the social media part
of it has taking away the more these it's this
weird conundrum. They post about their private lives. They post
all these political opinions, they post all this stuff so
you know who they are, which just like totally eradicates
(07:33):
any mystery. And that's like back in the day, you know,
in Brittany, Oh, where's she going to go to college?
There's like a mystery involved there, and and mystery, in
my opinion, is so much more attractive than the reality
of the crazy eyed Knife.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Dance, right. And the funny thing about that is social media.
None of it is actually real, and so there's there
is like this fake, this fake life that people are
trying to get to. But I think that's kind of
that has sort of taken away from Hollywood in general,
because it used to be that I knew nothing about
my favorite stars. I was actually thinking about this this
(08:08):
morning because I was thinking about there's this new Napoleon
movie coming out, and the there's doing this complaint in
France that it's not accurate, that it's like the British
version of Napoleon. Of course, you know, people are so
mad about it. But I thought about, I have seen
horrible movies lately. There have been no good movies, and
I'm really hoping that this one is good because I
actually love movies. And I know people are like, oh,
(08:30):
Hollywood sucks, but I love it. I love movies. I
love going into a movie and being sucked into it.
I love being able to watch movies at home. But
it started to get ruined when I learned who the
actors really were. I don't want to know their political opinions.
I want Jack from Titanic to be this amazing. I
never want to know Leonardo DiCaprio. I want him to
always be Jack. I'm mad at Rose for not moving
(08:52):
over on that little raft things.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
There's room on the door for everybody. She let him die,
she did.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Why did he have to die.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So she'd have a story? But I know, true love.
But I'm with you one hundred and ten percent. I
remember when I was a kid, my uncle a great guy,
but he had been in the military, was a medic
in Vietnam. And just like he could not look at
(09:24):
a photograph of Jane Fonda, like he could not, he
would not not for one second, like he loathed her.
And it really is a drag when there's like a
movie coming out and you're excited about it, but you
know that the star is just being a total douche.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know, I used to love the movie Ghost, and
now I can't watch it because are you going to,
Sir Patrick Swayzey jump into Whoopy Goldberg anymore?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Maybe that's what happened. Maybe Whoopy Goldberg has been possessed
this whole time by something woman. She doesn't want to
say any of this stuff, but she just like wakes
up on the set of the view after being possessed
and eating seven seven full sized meals.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
That's what I think when I see her now, I'm like, well,
who's inside of their I never know because she was
obviously able to bring him. But it was so romantic
and nah, now that I'm actually thinking about it again,
though it was kind of creepy.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Oh a ghost is a great flick, and as a
comedian because that was one of the Zucker brothers who
did that. Oh really, Oh my gosh, Yeah, the guys
who did Airplane and the Naked Gun. And it's like, yes,
comedians are better at everything you want. You want a
(10:48):
romantic ghost story, Boom, we can do that. It was great,
fast buzz.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon Podcast. All right, so, I don't know
how we got off on this. This was not what
we were intending to talk about. But I do love
talking to you about things that are just completely off
the wall. But I have to ask you and Brace,
what do you think about these latest numbers with Trump
(11:16):
being the winner in the now it's a year out.
I just want to say, it's a year out, but
if you look at the polls. Trump right now is
winning against Biden, which I was told by many people.
And remember I had a whole year of campaigning myself.
There was like Trump is deadly, he can never win again.
But now what changed? How did this happen?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well, it is the truth. You can only keep the
truth a secret for so long. And America is looking
at the Trump policies and his presidency and it was great.
It was really great. We were cranking right along and
everything that they tried to warn us, Oh Trump's going
(11:59):
to start World War tis read, Oh Trump's gonna do this.
Oh Trump Joe Biden has given us all that and more.
Like the country, it feels like it's crumbling in real
time and and and especially now right before Thanksgiving. Holy Schnikeys,
you want to you wanna a constant advertisement to vote
(12:19):
for Trump. Look at your grocery store receipt. They can write,
Oh it's my god. I went to I went to
buy a turkey, and then like a little like like
a side Ham the other day, we need to meet
up on Aisle me because I about about poop my plants.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I bought my turkey a few days ago, and then
we went out of town. For the weekend, and I
was like, I have to get everything else for Thanksgiving
dinner for by last night, because you know, you go
to the grocery store, everything's gone. It's like the people
that have never gone to the grocery store show up
and buy things they've never bought before. So I'm like,
I'm not going to get a few crucial items that
(12:57):
I need. So I go there last night and this,
I just want to be clear, not including the turkey,
just the things for Thanksgiving. This was four hundred dollars. Yeah,
the meal. That's insane.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
That hurts on every level, and it's like it's incontrovertible.
I mean, this is affecting everybody I used to joke around.
I want to be rich, and I want to be
so wealthy I can be a Democrat, Right, that's how
That's how rich I want to be, because that seems
like those are the only people who are pretending to
enjoy this bullshit. Right. It's these big Hollywood you know,
(13:37):
giant They've got hundreds of millions of dollars and they're like,
I just care about people, when literally every across every
other spectrum of America, people are just getting walloped at
the freaking grocery store, their electric bill, their gas bill, everything.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
So yeah, Trump, And the funny thing about Joe Biden
being president now is that it's not like this is
the first time he tried to be president. He tried
to be president a few times before, he never got there,
and now he's finally there. I mean, this is somebody
who's been in government his whole entire life. And the
funny thing about it is the first time he didn't
(14:16):
make it to becoming president. He had to step out
of the race because of plagiarism. This is a guy
who just constantly tells lies and now they're using that
as well. You know, he's old, he's just forgotten how
it's gone. He's like, no, he was doing this in
his forties. He was lying. And so now we have
this guy who is a liar who is in office,
but he really does seem like he's not exactly the
(14:40):
guy he was. He's certainly not able to speak without
he has to have a teleprompter at all times. And
it's funny because I had somebody who was talking to
me about going to Bob Dylan concerts, and this reminded
me of Joe because I said, well, what, were they
always the same? And he said, no, No. Twenty years
ago when I would go, you know, he was guitar
and he would sing his songs from memory. But now
(15:02):
he's in his eighties and he sits at the piano
and a lot of times he has his song lyrics there,
so he's reading the song lyrics. But I think he's just,
you know, he just has to have that extra step.
That's okay for a musician. For Joe Biden, it's not.
In my opinion, it's really not that the president of
the United States cannot talk about state issues, cannot talk
(15:24):
about him sitting down with heads of states of other
country countries and talking about what's happening with a pending
world war, which is really I mean, I think most
of us are looking at this and saying, now, you
have some pretty nasty characters coming together right now in
the world, and we're relying on Joe Biden. But the
funny thing is they talked about his birthday. I talked
(15:48):
about the bonfire that he had, which was weird. I mean,
they really genuinely lit eighty one candles on a cake
and they tried to make this cute and he was like, Oh,
it's you know, this is what it's like when you're
one hundred and forty seven or whatever. He tweeted out.
They're trying to make the age thing cute.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
The thing that I don't get is that he is
eighty one and Trump is what seventy seven, And it's
really hard to say that Trump is having those same
concerns because he doesn't seem like Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
No, and like Mick Jagger is up there too, Like right,
Mick and the Stones are not any spring chickens. But
it's like it affects anybody differently. The funny thing to
me about all this is, is anybody believing that Joe
Biden is really in charge? Like that's right, Yeah, it's
(16:41):
the reason we used to have journalism that you could
kind of trust, right, And that's when Joe Biden, you know,
for plagiarism twice, plagiarism twice, and the journalists they called
him out and he did the upstanding thing. But now
you have and this is what happened with Trump. You
have the entire weight of the media, the swamp, big government,
(17:05):
the FBI, they're all teaming up against Trump, and they're
all teaming up to shore up Joe Biden. And these
these just mind boggling bad policies and like, and they
make them carry those note cards. You come in here,
you say this, you pointed her, you sit down, Like,
(17:28):
who prints up that card? That's who's in charge. That's
who's in charge of the government.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
But it's see, the scary thing to me about that
is the person printing that card actually isn't the person
who told the intern to print that card is in charge.
And there are so many people that are on that
lower rung of government who know Joe Biden's not in charge,
and yet yeah, we don't know who actually is. That's
the scary thing to me. There is this whole undercurrent
(17:56):
of people, underground, group of people who know that there
is some other force out there, and yet we the
American people, don't. And I got to say, like, even
when I look at this situation with a Donald Trump
Joe Biden matchup, I think, how are we in the
situation where we have two people that would honestly never
(18:17):
be chosen to run a company because people would not
look at the people who are octagenarians to run their company.
You know, that's not who they're looking for, and yet
that's who we're choosing from for president. It does seem
weird to me.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, well it's uh with with with Trump, I think
you could you could possibly choose him because he's run
a company before, right, It's true. Yeah, he's got a
track record. Oh I've got like you, like Warren Buffett,
you'd still trust him with your stock portfolio, right, it's
like ninety eight or some shit. But like, uh, it's
(18:55):
funny that, like, like it's the Democrats and the liberals
who are like, oh, Trump is a threat to democracy,
and we're here having a casual conversation that the guy
in the White House isn't really the president. He's not
really calling the shots, right, And they're warning us about
o'donald's bad for democracy. Honey, you don't even know what
(19:17):
democracy is with your shadow government.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
But they also they're clearly putting Gavin Newsom into these
positions of you know, let's slowly warm the people up
to him. Now. Yes, the weird thing to me is
what is the message who is put behind him and
what is the message they're putting out Because the two
main events have been with the president or the president
(19:43):
of China. This the dictator, Hey d even call him
that President g This guy is a bad actor. He
is someone who wants to take over the United States?
Is he behind us? Are the Chinese behind this? Gavin
Newsom rise because they bring him out there, they're probably
like dufists, do not run over children on the basketball court.
(20:04):
That was a weird thing. Did you see that?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
No on?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh my gosh. He goes to China and he's like
playing basketball right with all these young like these kids
are like seven years old, and he just annihilates one
of them. He's like rushing for the ball and he
takes this kid down and then he's like, oh this
is cute and spanks him on the button. I'm like
this whole thing. If you can't even play basketball with
(20:28):
seven year olds, you're a wreck.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
But he's come back. He had g come to California.
You know, he got to come out and talk about this.
This is where the president of China came to California
and Gavin Newsom got to be the star of that. Really,
you never heard anything about Joe Biden's visit there, but
Gavin Newsom talked quite a bit about it. Who is
(20:52):
behind his rise.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
It's a couple of odd things about that. And I
was talking about this on my podcast, The Loftest Party podcast.
Uh with with with with the homeless people that suddenly
disappeared in San Francisco? Did anybody check up on them?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Are?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Like?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Where did they go?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
They? Are they living in our sewer tunnels? Are they
like some part of some new Marvel movie? And then
also a shout out to Gavin Newsom. He was awesome
in the original die Hard. He was great, Uh in
Diehard when he would do the coke and be like, Hans, Baby,
(21:33):
let's negotiate that. That's it's the same guy. It's the
same He.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Is the perfect villain. And that is this that when
you look at him, I'm like, do not trust the
handsome man from California. He's the perfect He's cast in
every movie. Yeah, does no one see this? Right? This
guy is from villains here he is?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah? It is, uh, the whole, the whole Dick g
China visit or visit to to San Francisco was just
horrifying to me. It was just completely horrifying how they
decided that that this guy who routinely rounds people up
and puts them into work camps and makes them, you know,
(22:16):
make our shoes and our iPhones, and god, the how
many wigers and whatever uh that they they decide that, oh,
there's a there's a there's a dictator from out of
town coming, let's clean this place up. Meanwhile, the people
who are paying the bills in San Francisco are routinely
getting shot, stabbed, raped, mugged, stepping on needles and worse.
(22:41):
It's I don't know if you could have a more
shining example of just how little the people of San
Francisco meet like that they are, they are less than ants.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
But here's something, here's a different perspective on that, because
think about those people vote for Democrats every time, even
though so they know that their city is falling apart,
they kept complained about the homeless problem. They are also
the biggest advocates for taking care of people. Love is love,
let's be be careful with humans and all of this.
(23:13):
But when the people were cleared off the streets, you
did not see when the homeless people were cleared off
the streets, you did not see activists San Franciscans coming
out on TV and going where are they right? What
are we doing? With them. How are they are they safe?
Have we taken good care of them? No one questioned it.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, because they were absolved of their sins because it
wasn't them that did it, it was someone else, so
they could still have the moral high ground. Oh oh
my goodness. Well, I guess something happened that might not
have been a good thing, and that's what it I
I'm going to start saying this more and more. Ben
Shapiro famously said, facts don't care about your feelings. Now,
(23:59):
that's not getting us anywhere. It really isn't if you
if you're looking at winning elections, because I think what
we've learned from the past few election cycles, feelings don't
care about your.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Facts, right, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Everybody's voting emotionally. It's all these emotionally charged issues. And
like in Ohio they just had one where like they
want they want to be able to kill a baby
until like the moment it is born. But yeah, the
way they the way they frame the argument. They if
I was a woman in Ohio, I'd be terrified of
(24:36):
the Republican Party because they make it sound like you're
going to get raped by your uncle. Every woman in
the state is going to be held down and impregnated
by their uncle. You will be forced to carry the baby,
and then that will be your You'll be you'll let
You'll live the rest of your life in a barn
where every ten months it was. It was just horrifying.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next. On
a Tutor Dixon podcast, our pastor over the weekend, he
was just talking about how he when he was a kid,
he read a manual for the boy Scouts and then
he thought, you know, it told him what to do
how to build a fire, and then what to do
(25:16):
if you catch on fire, and the importance of walking
old women across the street and all this, And he said,
my child mind thought, I'm going to catch on fire
all the time, like I've got to know how to
make sure and there are going to be old women
lonely walking across the street, Like I've got to make
sure I know these facts.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
You got to be ready.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
But I thought, wow, that's so interesting, because when you
hear something like that, that is really what you think.
You're like, Man, how often is this going to happen
to me? But you're right about that for those commercials,
because if you are a young voter in your twenties,
You're like, anything could happen. And that was actually something
that Gretchen Witmer was interviewed at the end of the
(25:59):
race governor and her daughter is came out at that moment.
In this Washington Post interview, they went up to Macanaugh,
up to the island where the summer home is. They
sat with the governor and the two daughters and her husband,
and the one daughter said, you know, I'm coming out,
and I've never told anybody this, but I'm coming out.
I'm coming out because I've never had to use birth
(26:20):
control before now, but because Republicans may make abortion illegal,
I have to be on birth control even though I
can't get pregnant from one of my partners because I'm
a lesbian. And people were like, wow, do I wrap
my mind around what was just said? What does that mean?
And she's like, because I'll likely get raped on campus
and I won't be safe. Yes, that message is I mean,
(26:44):
that's a very twisted message to tell young women. Now,
I will say I'll give her some credit. In Michigan,
we are in the top five percent of states for
rapes for capita, so maybe her mom should do something
about that. Maybe they should focus on that.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Would suggest that. And like I know, and on college campuses,
they're they're pretty loosey goosey with how they define rape, right, like, oh,
he looked at me and I was uncomfortable. That's rape.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I mean, it's so someone was recently phone raped at
Michigan State. I don't know if you heard that.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
If those statistics were true, if the college rape statistics
were true, no one would send their kids to college.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's I don't but there are a lot of reasons
not to send your kids to collogy saying I know,
how did we miss what's actually happening on college campuses.
That's been horrifying to me seeing these kids come out
and they're young, but again it's the same message, because
it's like, you know, I might catch on fire, someday,
I might get raped, someday I might have someone oppress
(27:51):
me one day. Yeah, And so now that's what we're
seeing with this whole Hammas coming out on behalf of
Hamas and saying, oh, these these babies weren't murdered, these
women were not raped, like all of the things that
we've talked about, the same message that they used to
win on abortion as you could get raped some day.
They are telling people, these people are not getting raped.
(28:12):
Don't believe them. They're being oppressed. This is legitimate, it's okay,
how does work well?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
They keep getting to the kids younger and younger, and
it's every aspect of the culture. So it's not your
college is just like the icing on the cake, and
everything now is viewed through this lens of it's not
a moral thing. It's not right or wrong. It's like
you're saying oppressed and oppressor, and it's just wild. I
(28:45):
remember during the George Floyd riots. I mean, these people
were burning down businesses, ruining cities. People were being killed
left and right. It was an absolute horror show. And
every left wing pundit on TV is like what we
have to ask, like why are they so upset? Why
(29:06):
are they so upset? And then that's it's the same
thing they're doing with Hamas. Now, let's not talk about
what they did, why did they do it? Why are
they so upset? And then on the other hand, when
you've got January sixth, no one wants to talk about
why everybody was there on January sixth. It's just like
the laws the law, they need to go to jail
(29:28):
for twenty two years. So that's what the left is
really good at. It's just like framing it oppressed oppressor,
and every oh, I'm the victim. I'm the victim here,
so I must be correct. And it's there's no pot
of gold at the end of that rainbow. And the
right has ignored culture and ignored the school system way
(29:51):
too long.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Like you know, I think you're right, the right is not.
I had a podcast a couple of days ago on
abortion and I just said, look, I was running when
this was overturned, and let me tell you there was
no message. But isn't that weird to you that for
fifty years people put hundreds of millions of dollars into
pro life organizations and it was like spread the message
(30:13):
of the importance of life, and that clearly didn't happen.
And then when they got what they wanted for all
those years of overturning Roe v. Wade. I mean, I
was there, Michael. I'm telling you. We were like, okay,
how do we handle this? And they're like, I mean
you just say the other side is radical? No, Because
if you're saying I'm going to either give you no abortion,
(30:36):
or I'm going to give you no limits abortion. People
are always going to go for no limits because they
don't want what they think of as a right taken away.
But you're right about if you were to educate people.
Almost no country has more than fourteen weeks, almost none, right.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
And it's like these kids who are running around I
saw this great, really wonderful video. This kid was asking
people to sign this like pro Hamas petition, this pro
Palestine petition, and he goes, okay, so when you sign this,
you're okay with like, you know, throwing rocks at women
when they're out after dark by themselves. And these people
(31:12):
are horrified by it, right, So it is I call
it political kung fu. And it was wild to watch
the right just fumble this, like when when Roe versus Wade,
when they were like, this is not constitutional, you guys,
this doesn't, this doesn't we're kicking it back to the states.
It was mind boggling to me to watch all these
(31:32):
politicians not be go, yeah, that should be the states' rights.
That should it should be up to states. It doesn't
hold much of So let's talk about it and what
the people of our state want to do. I think
it's probably a bad idea after fourteen weeks and you know,
and safe legal rare that whole thing. But it was wild,
(31:53):
like Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham put up some crazy bill
trying to make abortion illegal nationwide after that, and you're like,
why would you do that, Lindsey Graham? Why would you
throw gasoline onto a dumpster?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Fick I will tell you that's because there is this
this disaster in the Republican Party of having always been
there for these groups. These groups are very influential. A
lot of the money comes from the pro life movement
because people believed that there was a pro life movement.
And the sad thing was that they woke up and
(32:32):
realized that they were putting money into a lobbyist committee,
but not a movement for culture. This was not affecting
people's hearts and minds, and so you just had politicians
standing there naked once they weren't they didn't have roe
v wade to wrap around their bodies. And it was
a real shocker for the Republican Party. So this has
(32:53):
been a scramble of well, if we put that out there,
will that will that be cover for our politicians, and
it hasn't been because the education has not been there.
Look in other countries they say most of them are
ten weeks, but they range from ten to fourteen. Sweden
I think is eighteen, the Netherlands is twenty fourth. That's it.
(33:13):
That's as far as they go. And then they have
some also some precautions of like if the mother's health
is in danger, then you can go beyond that. Yeah,
but see the Democrats will go, oh, well, we have
this one scenario that this is going to happen and
no one's going to be there to protect this woman.
That doesn't happen in other countries, but we haven't been
able to talk about that for some reason.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Well, and the people need to understand. And I'm talking
about the GOP and the right and everybody. It's like
steering the Titanic. You're talking about reintroducing a moral compass,
and it is the and culture said it really well
the other day, like pro pro life is the equivalent
(33:59):
of defund the police.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Right now, it's sadly, isn't that sad?
Speaker 2 (34:04):
On your back? And so politicians are going to have
to come out and go listen, you know, safe legal
and rare, safe, legal, and rare up to a certain week,
and like, uh, if the right, but if the right
turns on those politicians, you might as well not invest
in another. You're not going to win. You're not going
(34:24):
to win if you if if you are.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I've seen people say I don't care if we win.
If you it's a moral issue, and I'm like, this
is not meaning that those individual people will not continue
to fight for life, because there is more than one
way to fight for life. Yes, but if you are
going to hang everybody that goes out there and no
one's going to get in there to have any other
type of impact, where is your life movement?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Then right, it's it's over. And when you can't introduce
stuff and I'm I'm I'm talking. Look at what they're
doing to the kids in elementary schools now about questioning
their gender and all of this. They're introducing these woke,
this woke ideology as soon as they can. So, yeah,
(35:07):
if we can't get people on school boards, if we
can't get people in local politics and introducing some kind
of moral compass to all of this, just the you're
you're you're arguing about the barn being on fire, way
after all of the animals are gone, and it's it's
(35:28):
just over You're just crying over spilt milk.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
It's such a hard balance. And I've talked to you
for way longer than I expected to, but I could
honestly talk to you for hours because it's just it's
very interesting. And I will just say that my daughter
is in seventh grade and so they're learning all about
sex SED right now, and I mean we were going
through the key terms and it's I don't even know
(35:53):
if on the off chance someone younger is listening. It's
pretty intense. You know, she's learning exactly how everything happens, right,
which I think is good. And then I was talking
to my girlfriend and her son goes to different school,
and she's like, he came home and he was like, Mom,
did you know that you can get STDs if you
have sex with your mouth? And she was like, I
was not ready for that. Yeah, I just know that
(36:15):
that conversation was going to be had at school. And
I think that's the problem is people are like, there's
so many different versions going into my kid's mind. But
I will say that I had a girlfriend who got
pregnant at sixteen and people think that everybody knows everything
these days, and not all families talk about it. And
if you want to be truly pro life, this young
(36:37):
woman at sixteen went and had an abortion because she
didn't want to tell her parents. But she also said,
you have to understand, tutor, no one ever told me
how you get pregnant, right, so think about that. So
there is a benefit to the school saying be careful.
But how far do you want to go? I mean,
that's a whole nother conversation, but.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
It is, it really is, And it's one thing to go, well,
here's the biology. Here's the biology of it. Women have
ovaries and once a month blah blah blah blah blah.
And men that's one thing. And then it's completely different
to send like a you know, an eleven year old
old old home from school going, boy, if you're gonna
do butt stuff, you better have lube.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
But like exactly, yes, yes, she I will say. She
did say that. Her son was like, yeah, these things.
The egg it comes down from the Philippian tubes and
pops out of the oderie and she was like, you
have none of these words, right, that's crap.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
That's like a modern day, Andy Griffa, sit here. Filippian
tubes have the eggs in there and then they come
out in the rotary phone. So once a month you
gotta hit the belly button get a reset. That's all works.
I have it.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
She said, Yep, that happens once a month. And he
was like, that happens once a month. He said that
sounds horrible.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Right, so now he has apathy. That's great. Hooray Pa.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yes, schools, Yes, exactly exactly. I mean it was it
was all very There are good things that happen. We
don't have to be totally down on everything that happens
in school that teaches kids about things that are uncomfortable.
Not all parents are talking about it either.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
That is that is true, But it's a it's a
very easy line to cross. And I tell you what,
when they cross it, they got to go bye bye
like I.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Want exactly like if I had if we if I
had some of these conversations that teachers are having with
their students, if you had them in a work environment,
you're going to lose your job.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
They're going to send you.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
That valid point exactly. I know people say.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
That conversation with a child, if you when if you
do it at the Kroger grocery store, you're not allowed
to work the frozen food department anymore.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
That's what we used to say. If I if I
take a book to the book to the bus stop
and read it to a kid, and I get arrested
for reading it at the bus stop, you shouldn't be
reading it at the school ticket. That's that's the facts.
So I don't this. We have to We'll have to
get into this another time. But I do so enjoy
(39:12):
talking to you. I so enjoy your your takes on
things that I want you to tell our audience where
else they can find you because you have a podcast.
But you have a show too, right, Oh.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
My goodness, we got brand new episodes of that show tonight.
It's sketch comedy, but it's it's a non woke we
love America. It's it's hilarious that show tonight dot com.
And then everybody should go to the loftusparty dot com
every single day, several times a day. It's like it is.
(39:41):
It is the nature's balance for your soul.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Michael Loft is the balance of nature. Yes, for comedy,
it is true. I think that it's important for you
to have comedy in your life, because I was thinking
about this the other day. If you are there is
not enough laughing anymore. I just see people, well there
you used to see people laughing, except I lived live
in New York for a year and there was a
lot of yelling that year. But you used to see
people laughing, and now there's not as much laughing. So
(40:09):
definitely visit Michael Loftis. Make sure you go often and
get your dose of comedy for the day.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yes, you must. You'll be a better person for it,
you will.
