Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast today. I am so
excited because we have Laura Trump with us. She is
the co chair of the RNC, the Republican National Committee,
So glad to have you here. There's so much to
talk about. I can't even imagine what it's like to
be you right now in this bizarro election land, your
first time co chairing the ER and C. You're doing
an amazing job. Thank you for being here.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Thank you so much. Well, as you can hear, I've
been doing a lot of interviews, so I'm slightly losing
my voice, but I appreciate it very much. Nothing really
prepares you, Tutor, for any of this stuff, as you
can imagine. But certainly the space that we found ourselves
in in America right now, I think we all kind
of look around and are like, what the heck is
going on? How did we end up here? So, yes,
there's no lack of things for us to discuss. I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
No. I'm glad you mentioned that because I've had so
many people just in Michigan this week because we had
our primary this week. Obviously this is our state primary,
so all of our state elections and our federal elections
were this week and people have been like, what is
the plan now, because I think in twenty two we
felt like we just went with the status quo of
(01:07):
elections and didn't just jump into it. But now we've
got early voting, we've got absentee voting. Everything's changed. So
what is your How do you calm the folks that
are like, ah, we have to go, we have to go,
we have to go. They don't know what to do now.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, Well, first of all, let me just say that
whenever I was elected to this position as co chair
alongside Michael Wattley, our chairman, the two of us sat
down and we said what do we need to do
in order to win this election? And we came up
with two things that were necessary in order to win.
One is get out the vote, which obviously we know
Donald Trump is probably the greatest person in the history
(01:42):
of politics to inspire people to actually get involved, get
out and vote, and tutor we have to protect the
ballot so that means we can never repeat the mistakes
of twenty twenty and that election again. And the way
we go about that is ensuring election integrity. So we
right now at the RNC have put together the most
comprehensive and aggressive election integrity operation this country has ever seen.
(02:05):
We have had over one hundred thousand people already sign
up to be pole watchers, poll workers, work in the
tabulation centers where mail and ballots come in, be legal
experts on the ground in all of our major voting
precincts across this country. And we want to ensure that
every time of vote is cast and every time a
vote is counted, we have people and eyes in the room.
(02:27):
It's going to demystify things a lot for a lot
of people. It will ensure that we have transparency in
our electoral process, and we should all as Americans, feel
like we can trust that no matter if you're voting
for a Republican, a Democrat, or a third party candidate,
it is vital to who we are as a country.
So I want people to know out there. It is
our number one focus from the RNC to ensure election
(02:48):
integrity this election cycle and for years and of course
elections to come. In addition to that, we are really
trying to change the messaging that we send out to
Republicans across this country. If we all wait too dur
until election day to go cast to ballot. I mean,
I have kids, People out there have jobs. Everybody understands
that life happens, you get bad weather, situations, whatever it
(03:10):
might be. If we all wait until election day to
go vote, it is a recipe for disaster. We want people. However,
you can vote and as early as you can vote
to get your vote bank. So whether that means absentee
ballots by mail in your area, whether that means early
voting the first day early voting starts, or throughout the
course of early voting in your state, or making a
(03:30):
plan and ensuring you can get to the polling locations
on election date. Those are all great ways to vote.
But if people go vote early, the advantage it gives
us at the RNC and the Trump campaign is we're
not then worried about getting you to go vote. We
can then pull our resources and.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You can go get other people to vote, like.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Look, propensity voters. It's the beauty of the process and
it's what really will make it too Victor Rick and
give us such an advantage this election cycle.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's so important that people understand this work. Right now,
we're kind of dissecting what happened in our primary because
I think that gives us the best idea of what
Democrats are doing. So really we're dissecting what happened on
both sides, but looking at their side too, because they
had high numbers of absentee ballots come in in Republican areas,
and like I said, this just happened. We're just getting
(04:17):
into it. But if I look at some of our
big races, like our Senate race, if I look at
Alissa Slotkin compared to Mike Rogers, she's getting higher numbers
of absentee ballots in traditionally Republican areas like Kent County,
which I think is surprising even in the primary. And
that's where I have to my alarms go off and say, Okay,
we really have to get a good ground game going
(04:40):
because I know you guys just run just won a
lawsuit against our secretary of state here in Michigan, which
I think is key nationally because as you're looking at
some of these radicalized secretaries of state, they do things
like Jocelyn Benson did here in Michigan, which was removed
the signature match on absentee ballots. I mean, what would
be the purpose of that other than not wanting to
(05:02):
see if this is the actual person. So it's crazy,
and yet it's happening right under our noses. So how
do we make sure that they're actually checking those signatures.
I think we're all kind of shell shocked from what's
happened in the past few years, especially here in Michigan,
so we kind of want some detail on how do
you make sure those are true? Because I'll tell you
(05:22):
I just saw this morning one of my friends in
our Arab American community and he was like, I just
don't believe it. We won because he's very conservative, and
generally our Arab American community is very conservative, but he's
been trying to talk to people about the fact that
his values align more with the Republican Party than the
Democrat Party. And so his local election, the Democrat won,
(05:46):
and it was like it was a race where he
was expecting the person with more conservative values, but the
person with more liberal values one. And he's like, they
didn't win. On election day when we put in absentee ballots,
it was outrageous, and he's just like, I just don't
believe it. I want proof. How do you assure these
(06:08):
people that they're checking the absentee ballots?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Well, there are a couple of things. Number One, something
else that Jocelyn Benson tried to do was not clean
the voter rolls there in the state of you guys
had ninety two thousand inactive voters on the voter rolls,
and we actually flagged it several months ago and said, hey,
you need to make sure that these voter roles are
cleaned up, because obviously you don't just want ballots going
out sent out across the state of Michigan or other
(06:32):
states in this country, to people who may have moved away,
who may have been passed away in that amount of time.
And so we said, hey, you've got to clean these
voter roles, but look, we have to have the rules
of the road set up properly and every single state
across this country, and I'm sure a lot of people
watching this and listening understand that every state has different
election rules and guidance for their state. So we go
(06:55):
state by state and we work with the secretary's the state. Now,
as you can imagine to you're in Republican states, they're
very happy to comply, and they of course won't clean
the voter roles if that hasn't been done in Democrat states,
it's a little bit more challenging. And if they are
not complied with what we ask and these are just
basic laws that are already set up in place, we
(07:15):
just want them to enforce them. Then we of course
have to bring the lawsuits forward. And you know you're
talking about signature verification. It's why we want people in
the room. It's why in the tabulation center where those
mail and ballots come in, we want you as a volunteer.
Protect the Vote dot com is the website if anybody
wants to join up on our team. We have an
amazing opportunity right now that the RNC really hasn't had
(07:38):
in forty years. We had to consent to create forty
years ago placed upon the RNC. That meant that we
couldn't train people to work in these polling locations, and
in the tabulation centers we can only have pole watchers.
The judge that implemented that can set degree passed away.
About a year ago the decree was lifted, and now
we actually have this amazing ability and the amount of
(07:59):
transparentarancy that gives us cannot be overstated. But we need
bodies in the room. We need legal experts in the
room so that when you see there is a problem,
we can flag it, we can deal with it in
that moment. You have oftentimes these machines Tutor that you
know or regulated by a specific person to match the
signatures that come in on these mailing ballots. We train
(08:21):
our people all across this country how that machine should
be calibrated so that you know it is indeed checking
for the signature match. So look, we do everything in
our power possible, but we need people to help us,
so we would love more volunteers. We utilize a lot
of these primaries across the country as sort of a
test run for the systems we have in place. In
(08:42):
the plan we have in place. We have war rooms
set up and every major swing state across the country
so that we can strike in a moment's notice. And
we can't address these problems when we see them. But
we can't do it alone. So again, I would like
to have more people come out and volunteer.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon podcast. I think it's so critical that
people understand this because if you look at the numbers,
for some reason in Michigan, in the twenty fourteen gubernatorial race.
From twenty fourteen to twenty eighteen, suddenly there were eight
(09:15):
hundred thousand more Democrat voters from twenty fourteen to twenty eighteen.
I do believe that after twenty sixteen, like you said,
Donald Trump brings this organic support nobody understands. I think
they went, oh, my goodness, what happened. We have got
to do something to change this. And they did bring
in a lot of ground game operations. They're great organizers.
We know this. I mean, I hate to say it,
(09:36):
but it's true. But there is a question of how
do you gain eight hundred thousand. That's a lot. And
it happened in twenty eighteen, and those voters have continued
to come out, they show up. I mean, those numbers
are still there. And that's why I feel like, yeah,
I want to know that they're actually checking these absentee ballots.
Want I mean, we know that a lot have gone out.
(09:57):
We know that we have this radical secretary of State.
It is definitely a concern of ours, and that's why
so many people have called on the RNC. And I
think that there is there was some confusion in the past,
people like why isn't the RNC involved in these elections? Well,
legally you couldn't have been. Now you can, but you
have to have the people. And that's the one thing
that I keep saying to my Republican friends, like, yes,
(10:19):
you want this, you have to be involved, you have
to be doing it. There needs to be help on
the ground, especially if you are an attorney or anyone
like that. Please bring people to the RNC, because this
is a different race and it's different every moment. And
I think that's been another shocking thing to watch the
Joe Biden switch out was to me, it's just it's
(10:41):
totally wrong. It's totally disappointing, and yet we have no
recourse against it because this is the Democrats land that
we right now are currently living in because of the
mainstream brainwashing media. It's shocking to me. And yet they're
not pushing back, and at this point, there's no time
to try to take make a legal maneuver on this,
say wait a minute, you can't do this. They know this,
(11:02):
They knew what they were doing. So suddenly they switch
out the cognitively impaired candidate and they put in Kamala Harris,
who refuses to do any media because we know what's
going to happen if she talks, if somebody has to
have a conversation with her and it's not scripted, she's
a complete moron. I mean, she cannot have a conversation,
and if she did, it would be terrifying to the
(11:23):
American people. But I've been watching what happened over the
last few days. Everybody thought it would be Josh Shapiro,
a very weird rollo out of that too, Like Josh Shapiro,
it's gonna be in Pennsylvania. It's gonna be a Pennsylvanian.
Just kidding. It's Tim Waltz. And now we find out
this guy is a total communist. He's seduced completely by China,
spent his honeymoon there, had his wedding day on the
(11:46):
anniversary of the Tienamen Square and massacre because he wanted
it to be that day. He intentionally got married on
that day so that it would be memorable. I mean,
these were people that were out there marching against a
communist government because they wanted freedom. The things that we
talk about every day, freedom of the press, freedom of speech.
(12:07):
Right now we're questioning the freedom of the press because
it seems like a propaganda network. I mean, everything seems
like it's very much state run media. What do you
think about this choice when we know Kamala is not
capable of talking and his background is very, very disqualifying.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, tupa, this is the most radical far lank left
ticket in the history of America politics. There's there are
no two ways about it. That's a fact and it
is It's amazing to see where we are in this country.
You just kind of ran through it a little bit.
But look, let's back up for a second and even
go back two months ago. The idea that in the
span of somewhere around like forty hours you would get
(12:47):
a change in Joe Biden, the current President of the
United States, a guy who had said on a Friday
it would take something like an act of God to
get him to drop out of this race. He was
one hundred percent on board to do it. Hours later,
we get a post on ex that says, actually, just kidding,
I'm going to go out of this and I'm actually
going to pass the Batona on to Kamala Harris. We
(13:08):
got that ex post later, of course, for some reason,
it wasn't in the first one. That in and of
itself would have been enough to shake this entire country
and say, hold on a minute, this is crazy. This
is like an eleventh hour situation. And then to see
the way to your point, the media has swooped in.
The mainstream media coronated Kamala Harris, done a one hundred
(13:31):
and eighty return on her image for the American people. Man,
they're trying to sell this woman like she is the
greatest political figure in the history of American politics. And
you know that when she gets in front of a
camera as you just said, and is unscripted and has
actually asked real questions about policy, domestic policy, foreign policy,
(13:52):
current things that have happened under her watch, as the
borders are, and yes she was the borders are, even
though they're trying to erase that history as well. We
know she's not going to have a cognizant thought. She's
not going to be able to actually articulate any points
that are going to make sense to the American people
or that they are going to want to buy into.
And that is why they are running this basement strategy
(14:13):
with Kamala Harris. It is very frightening to see that
this is where we are in this country. Fourteen and
a half million people actually voted for Joe Biden. Not
a single one voted for Kamala Harris. She's now been
plugged in there, slotted into that spot against the will
of the Democrat voters in this country. And then you've
got her new running mate, Tim Walls, who I got
(14:34):
to tell you something. The stuff that this guy did
in his state of Minnesota is terrifying. It's very communists
in its nature. Hotline so that you can rat out
your neighbors if they're not following his COVID protocols, which
we're incredibly strict, incredibly stringent. He sat back and watched
Minneapolis burn to the ground, small businesses, lifelong dreams of people, burn,
(14:54):
federal buildings, police offices.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
His wife bragged about opening the windows of the governor
mansion to smell the building's burning.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Plus in the world talk.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
About the elite and the poor. This is like the
separation of classes that we're seeing.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, it never affected them. It was never going to
be a problem, right then, guess who it was a
problem for. It was a problem for low income neighborhoods,
which are primarily found in the inner cities of places
like Minneapolis, and you go around the country and you
can obviously see the same things. A guy who wanted
to put feminine hygiene products and actually signed in the
law putting them into always bathrooms and schools at the
(15:32):
age of fourth grade. This is really sick and twisted
stuff of your parent in Minnesota and you don't agree
with your child getting a sex change operation, guess what
the government could come in and revoke your rights as
a parent to that child.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It's but I think it's deeper than that, because when
you look at that and you compare that to what
China did in their revolution to get Mao in and
all the communists, all the Communist values in, it was
through the this type. This means of going to the
kids saying you're in charge. You turn in your parents,
(16:05):
you turn in your neighbors. This kind of stuff that
he has done. You know, I think people mistake this
as saying, oh gosh, you know this could happen, they
could trans our kids. It's not about transing the kids.
It's about controlling their minds. It's about saying you're in charge.
It's just like what we see in all these Disney movies.
Where the kids the parents are idiots. It's about changing
the kid into believing that the future is yours to create.
(16:29):
And you have to get rid of the old regime.
You have to get rid of your parents. You have
to get rid of the people who actually know something
because they've been paying taxes, they understand freedom. They have
made them afraid of freedom. And he's doing it in
his state. And that's the thing that I think people
need to understand. He is the face of big government.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, and that's exactly right. And it's crazy because the
things that you continue to hear out there from Kamala Harrison,
from Waltz, and I'm sure we'll hear more of them
as this campaign continues, and that the lies that they
try to spew and throw at Donald Trump and conservatives
are often the things that they themselves are actually doing.
(17:11):
And I hope people have paid attention to this. If
I could, I just want to go back very quickly
to Josh Shapiro, the governor of the state of Pennsylvania.
Now we all know that Kamala Harris cannot become president
of the United States without winning the state of Pennsylvania.
It was a very obvious pick for her. A lot
of people thought that that was going to be the
way she went. They made Josh Shapiro, a Jewish American,
(17:33):
come out and denounce his support for Israel so that
he could be considered for this role, and then they
snubbed him. Then they said, you know what, nevermind, We're
kind of done with you now. And it's because they
had to play to the far left radicals in the
base of the Democrat Party. These are the pro Hamas people,
the people who really are so anti Semitic at their core,
(17:55):
anti American at their core. That is another red flag
I think for a lot of people. When you look
at this EP choice that Kamala Harris mate and anyone
out there who was a Jewish voter, I hope they've
taken a long, hard look at the Democrat Party. These
are people who do not care about Israel. They are
happy with the anti Semitism. They're final to let it
(18:16):
just spew out of college campuses in every corner of
this country. It is sick and twisted and very frightening
the world that we are in right now, and how
close we really are tutor to seeing a change in
this country that I don't even think we can sathom
right now, and I don't think we come back from
if we go down that path.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Let's not forget that. When Kamala Harris met with Benjamin Nuttnyelle,
who she came out and her comments were that if
we want a ceasefire, She's the first person to come
out and say that she absolutely demands a cease fire
from Israel and is not willing to look at anything
else and said if not, then there will be consequences
(18:56):
for Israel. There's no consequences for a Ran. I mean,
this is the scary thing. They came back into power
and they took away every protection that Trump had in
against the world's largest state sponsor of terror, which is Iran,
and they gave them all the money back, they gave
them all the resources. Why is she going after Israel
(19:18):
and she says nothing about Iran. I think this is
incredibly scary. I think the relationships, the relationships these two
have with some of the arbiters of evil in the
entire world. I mean, look at China Iran, which we
know they're talking to North Korea and they're talking to Russia.
(19:38):
We just saw China and Russia flying bombers together in
our airspace. We've never seen that before. I just don't
know how we wake up the American people to what
this really is. It is dangerous and I do not
say that lightly.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
It's so dangerous. And you know, it's funny whenever you
go back to twenty sixteen and actually look at a
lot of the rhetoric around Donald Trump, the things that
people continue to say about him. If Donald Trump becomes president,
we will be in World War three. If Donald Trump
has the nuclear codes, we are in for a disaster.
All of the things that they predicted are actually the
(20:15):
things that are happening under Biden and Harris right now.
And if you think about Donald Trump, what did we
not have a single new war? What did we have
peace agreements? In the Middle East? Aaron did not have
any funding. We removed that funding. And by the way,
we took away all of the money they were making
on the oil because we were energy independent and almost
(20:36):
the net energy export are here in the United States.
There are so many reasons that the things we see
and the destabilization in the world right now has happened,
and you can trace it back to the policies of
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. A strong United States and
a strong leader in the United States is good for
the entire world. It stabilizes the rest of the world.
(20:58):
Our adversaries right now are licking their chops thinking that
Kamala Harris had the ability to potentially be the president
of the United States. I'll tell you what doesn't like
it the stock market. Look at the response of the
stock market. That is actually a direct correlation to the
sentiments of the people in this country. Whenever people are
worried about something like that happening, a possible Kamala Harris presidency,
(21:20):
you see it relayed in the stock market. And I'll
tell you right now, you've talked to a lot of
economic experts, they feel like may already be in a recession.
I can tell you there is only one candidate running
for president of the United States who understands the economy,
who understands how to make world peace, who understands how
to secure our southern border. It is Donald J. Trump.
(21:40):
Kamala Harris and Tim Wals have no idea what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
No. I think you're so right when you look at
what happened with the stock market. But also I think
democrats see this too, because notice people weren't jumping to
run with her. I mean, this was not her being
courted by people. If you look at what happened after
the debate, when it was clear they're done with him,
throwing him overboard like he's out, you suddenly saw Gavin
(22:04):
knewse M doing all these interviews. You had Gretchen Whitmer
doing all of these interviews, You had Pritzker out there.
These guys were the vultures waiting to strike. They wanted
that seat. They for some reason, thought they could get
her out of there. When it was very clear that
the media and the powers that be said you can't
throw Kamala off the ship too, they said, okay, we're
(22:24):
going to step back. Did one of them say they
wanted to BVP. Not one, not one of these powerhouse
governors that they have in their back pocket. Not one
of them wanted to be beside her. And the story
that we're hearing is Josh Shapiro is now saying I'd
rather run in twenty eight. Well, he must thinks she
can't win either, or at least they think these policies
are too radical, and they are too radical. But I
(22:47):
will say, we've seen them use power in manipulation, manipulations
of messages. We've had multiple people say Donald Trump is
going to banned contraception. I mean, it's gone so extreme.
And Whitmer's out there, she's perpetuating that. All these governors
are still perpetuating these lives. And obviously the Dobbs messages
out there, they're running ads like you would not believe.
(23:11):
How do you counteract that? Are there going to be
some really good ad campaigns out of the Trump team
out of the RNC? What should we expect?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Well, one thousand percent. Well, look, you have to look
at the amount of money that has been dumped into
Kamala Harris's coronation and they have, I mean they have
spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the course of
seventeen days. It's been astronomical because man, they needed every
play they could possibly get to help boost her up.
We have to think strategically a little bit. Whenever you're
(23:41):
looking in an election cycle, you don't want to burn
through all of your cash before the first day of
early voting starts. Right, we know that half the population
will vote before election day, so we have to talk
to them. To your point, We've got to make sure
we engage with these people. We have to set the
record straight, because it's not even just gas lighting anymore.
You know, people like to use that word to your
gasolating gasolating. These are lives. It is a lie to
(24:04):
say that Donald Trump wants to sign a federal abortion man.
But they are running on that because they know they
cannot run on any policy that Kamala Harris and Joe
Biden have put into place under their administration because they
have failed the American people, so they're going to try
and run on abortion. They consistently try to talk about
how the economic downturn is as a result of Donald Trump.
(24:27):
Excuse me, Donald Trump actually had the best economy this
country has seen in decades. And you don't have to
even take my work for it. Think back to four
years ago, how your life actually felt. Yes, we had
a worldwide pandemic, but people knew that their job was
paying them more, that they could actually put a little
savings away, that maybe they went on the family vacation
(24:48):
they hadn't gone on for the first time in a
long time. Yes, we of course have ads, planned strategic
ads across different states, and key areas, targeting very specific
groups of people who we know, you know, we need
to win this election. We also need to be talking
to people online. Digital is a huge part of our
strategy as well, and we plan to get out there
(25:09):
and actually physically be on the ground in addition to
all of the digital all of the TV ads that
we will run. We're going to be engaged. No one
more so, of course than Donald Trump himself. You seek
JD vance out all across the country as well. So, look,
we have it seems like a long time ago. It
is obviously a short time. You know, we have what
eighty nine days or so left in this election cycle.
(25:32):
But we have to be a little bit strategic with
how we do things. We're not going to just dump
all of our money in right now before early bouto starts,
but we do need to engage with those voters before
they go cast their first vote the first day of
early voting.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, it is shocking to me. I'm like, oh gosh,
now it's August. We've already had our primary here.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I know.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I think Wisconsin is the next swing state, and then
I think that's all the swing states for primaries. I
think we have a few more primaries into September, but
it really does feel like it's go time now. Stay
tuned for more of my interview with Laura Trump, But
first I want to take a moment to tell you
about my partners at bond Arms. It's Tudor Dixon, and
everyone knows I am a firm believer in our God
(26:13):
given Second Amendment rights. And while I hope and pray
that the November election restores every day American values, now
is the time for you to purchase in a firearm
to protect yourself and your loved ones. I'm here to
tell you about an amazing Texas made, thirty year old
handgun company called bond Arms. Bond Arms makes unique, well
made handguns for first time buyers like me, or avid
(26:35):
collectors or people who just want powerful protection in these
troubled times. Bond Arms makes the smallest, most powerful, best
built personal protection handguns that will allow you and your
loved ones to safely sleep at night. Right now, you
need to go to their website it's get Bondarms dot
com and learn more about the bond Arms handguns with
MSRPs starting as low as two hundred and seventy seven dollars,
(26:58):
and I promise you you will get a sense of
relief once you own one. Visit the website it's get
bondarms dot com to find out how to get up
to a fifty dollars rebate on your new bond arms
this month, and make sure you tell them I sent
you again. That website is get bondarms dot com. Now
more with lar Trump right after this before I let
(27:21):
you go. I know that there are people across the country.
I mean, we have listeners across the country. Obviously I'm
in Michigan, but for anybody who wants to get involved,
because it is so critical that we have people that
are in the room, that we have people that are
monitoring from all different levels and all different backgrounds. How
do they do that? How do they contact you guys?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah? The website we have setup is called protect the
Vote dot com. Again, Protect the Vote dot Com. You
can go on there. If you're a lawyer, we will
train you. You don't need to be trained an election
lawsuit or we'll train you and we can deploy you
to different states depending on the laws they have a
place in that state. You can become a pole watcher,
a poll worker. Also if you want to find out
(28:01):
in your area, am I registered? What is the registration deadline?
When does early voting start? When does it In all
of that information, Swamp the Vote USA dot com against
Swamp the Vote USA dot com get we make it
very easy. We break it all down from there. Make
sure you're registered, make sure that you are out voting,
and make sure after you vote. We want people to
(28:24):
get involved and take people to the polling locations from
that moment all the way up until the last day
of early voting, all the way up until election day.
Because if we all target ten people across this country
to say, hey, I know that my neighbor down the
street has voted Republican before, I don't know if they
voted in the last election cycle. Get them out to vote.
That's how we win this thing. If you remember, Donald
(28:46):
Trump got the most primary votes of any candidate in history,
it's because we used the system like this. We use
peer to peer contact. We use people in their own communities,
talking to friends, talking to fellow churchgoers, parents at your
kids school saying hey and make sure you get out
and vote. We all can do something. We can all
get engaged again. The two websites Protect the Vote dot com,
(29:07):
swap the Vote USA dot com.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And I know if I download the Turning Point app
or the AFW app. When I look at that, if
you're wondering, well, who are my neighbors and how do
I know, you can actually see who's voted Republican. I mean,
it is kind of crazy, but you can just pull
it up in your neighborhood. When you're there, you'll see
which of your neighbors are like minded, and you can
go talk to them and have that conversation. I've found
(29:32):
that that's incredibly helpful. I just think that people are
mistakenly believing that this is a huge commitment. It's not
a huge commitment. It's one night that you have to
be there on all night making sure you know what's happening.
There's a few trainings, but in the whole scheme of things,
this is you being a part of protecting something that
(29:52):
is so much bigger than us, this amazing country, and
we need you. We need you to do it.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yes, we need every person out there. Look, I think
that when I took on this co chair role at
the RNC, I'll be honest, it was a little daunting
and overwhelming to have eight months from the time that
Michael and I were elected into these roles until arguably
the most critical election of our lifetime. I have two
young kids, and I said, gosh, I know it's going
to mean a lot of time away from them, but
(30:19):
we all are going to be asked by our children,
our grandchildren and the next generation, what is it that
you did in the year twenty twenty four. How is
it that you actually stood up and you made a difference?
And we all can do that, tutor, And so this
is how I'm doing it. People out there listening, are
watching across the country. You can do it as well.
And then you can look at your children on November six,
(30:42):
your grandchildren and say, you know what I made sure
this happened. I made sure Donald Trump was reelected as
a forty seven president. I made sure that we got
it an expansively in the House, and we took back
the United States Senate. We're going to enact real change
in this country. It's going to mean a better country
for all of us.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It's so critical. I think people believe that the United
States will be safe forever. We've seen great countries fall before.
Having some tim walls. Honestly, I see this and I'm like,
oh my goodness, could you have picked a more radical person,
someone who has been romanced for decades by the story
of China, by the story of oppression. The oppressors are
(31:21):
what he is romanced by, and it's very clear. And
so I just want people to know that this is
the time. If you want to protect it, if you
think it's safe, it's only safe because of you. So
you got to get out there, make sure you go
to those websites, and make sure you help us all
out so that we are winning. Laura Trump, thank you
so much for being on today.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Thank you great to be with you, Thanks for.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Having me absolutely, and thank you all for joining us
on the Tutor Dixon podcast. For this episode and others,
go to Tutor disonpodcast dot com or the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts and join
us next time. Have a blessed day.
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast today. I am so
excited because we have Laura Trump with us. She is
the co chair of the RNC, the Republican National Committee,
So glad to have you here. There's so much to
talk about. I can't even imagine what it's like to
be you right now in this bizarro election land, your
first time co chairing the ER and C. You're doing
an amazing job. Thank you for being here.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Thank you so much. Well, as you can hear, I've
been doing a lot of interviews, so I'm slightly losing
my voice, but I appreciate it very much. Nothing really
prepares you, Tutor, for any of this stuff, as you
can imagine. But certainly the space that we found ourselves
in in America right now, I think we all kind
of look around and are like, what the heck is
going on? How did we end up here? So, yes,
there's no lack of things for us to discuss. I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
No. I'm glad you mentioned that because I've had so
many people just in Michigan this week because we had
our primary this week. Obviously this is our state primary,
so all of our state elections and our federal elections
were this week and people have been like, what is
the plan now, because I think in twenty two we
felt like we just went with the status quo of
(01:07):
elections and didn't just jump into it. But now we've
got early voting, we've got absentee voting. Everything's changed. So
what is your How do you calm the folks that
are like, ah, we have to go, we have to go,
we have to go. They don't know what to do now.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, Well, first of all, let me just say that
whenever I was elected to this position as co chair
alongside Michael Wattley, our chairman, the two of us sat
down and we said what do we need to do
in order to win this election? And we came up
with two things that were necessary in order to win.
One is get out the vote, which obviously we know
Donald Trump is probably the greatest person in the history
(01:42):
of politics to inspire people to actually get involved, get
out and vote, and tutor we have to protect the
ballot so that means we can never repeat the mistakes
of twenty twenty and that election again. And the way
we go about that is ensuring election integrity. So we
right now at the RNC have put together the most
comprehensive and aggressive election integrity operation this country has ever seen.
(02:05):
We have had over one hundred thousand people already sign
up to be pole watchers, poll workers, work in the
tabulation centers where mail and ballots come in, be legal
experts on the ground in all of our major voting
precincts across this country. And we want to ensure that
every time of vote is cast and every time a
vote is counted, we have people and eyes in the room.
(02:27):
It's going to demystify things a lot for a lot
of people. It will ensure that we have transparency in
our electoral process, and we should all as Americans, feel
like we can trust that no matter if you're voting
for a Republican, a Democrat, or a third party candidate,
it is vital to who we are as a country.
So I want people to know out there. It is
our number one focus from the RNC to ensure election
(02:48):
integrity this election cycle and for years and of course
elections to come. In addition to that, we are really
trying to change the messaging that we send out to
Republicans across this country. If we all wait too dur
until election day to go cast to ballot. I mean,
I have kids, People out there have jobs. Everybody understands
that life happens, you get bad weather, situations, whatever it
(03:10):
might be. If we all wait until election day to
go vote, it is a recipe for disaster. We want people. However,
you can vote and as early as you can vote
to get your vote bank. So whether that means absentee
ballots by mail in your area, whether that means early
voting the first day early voting starts, or throughout the
course of early voting in your state, or making a
(03:30):
plan and ensuring you can get to the polling locations
on election date. Those are all great ways to vote.
But if people go vote early, the advantage it gives
us at the RNC and the Trump campaign is we're
not then worried about getting you to go vote. We
can then pull our resources and.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You can go get other people to vote, like.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Look, propensity voters. It's the beauty of the process and
it's what really will make it too Victor Rick and
give us such an advantage this election cycle.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's so important that people understand this work. Right now,
we're kind of dissecting what happened in our primary because
I think that gives us the best idea of what
Democrats are doing. So really we're dissecting what happened on
both sides, but looking at their side too, because they
had high numbers of absentee ballots come in in Republican areas,
and like I said, this just happened. We're just getting
(04:17):
into it. But if I look at some of our
big races, like our Senate race, if I look at
Alissa Slotkin compared to Mike Rogers, she's getting higher numbers
of absentee ballots in traditionally Republican areas like Kent County,
which I think is surprising even in the primary. And
that's where I have to my alarms go off and say, Okay,
we really have to get a good ground game going
(04:40):
because I know you guys just run just won a
lawsuit against our secretary of state here in Michigan, which
I think is key nationally because as you're looking at
some of these radicalized secretaries of state, they do things
like Jocelyn Benson did here in Michigan, which was removed
the signature match on absentee ballots. I mean, what would
be the purpose of that other than not wanting to
(05:02):
see if this is the actual person. So it's crazy,
and yet it's happening right under our noses. So how
do we make sure that they're actually checking those signatures.
I think we're all kind of shell shocked from what's
happened in the past few years, especially here in Michigan,
so we kind of want some detail on how do
you make sure those are true? Because I'll tell you
(05:22):
I just saw this morning one of my friends in
our Arab American community and he was like, I just
don't believe it. We won because he's very conservative, and
generally our Arab American community is very conservative, but he's
been trying to talk to people about the fact that
his values align more with the Republican Party than the
Democrat Party. And so his local election, the Democrat won,
(05:46):
and it was like it was a race where he
was expecting the person with more conservative values, but the
person with more liberal values one. And he's like, they
didn't win. On election day when we put in absentee ballots,
it was outrageous, and he's just like, I just don't
believe it. I want proof. How do you assure these
(06:08):
people that they're checking the absentee ballots?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Well, there are a couple of things. Number One, something
else that Jocelyn Benson tried to do was not clean
the voter rolls there in the state of you guys
had ninety two thousand inactive voters on the voter rolls,
and we actually flagged it several months ago and said, hey,
you need to make sure that these voter roles are
cleaned up, because obviously you don't just want ballots going
out sent out across the state of Michigan or other
(06:32):
states in this country, to people who may have moved away,
who may have been passed away in that amount of time.
And so we said, hey, you've got to clean these
voter roles, but look, we have to have the rules
of the road set up properly and every single state
across this country, and I'm sure a lot of people
watching this and listening understand that every state has different
election rules and guidance for their state. So we go
(06:55):
state by state and we work with the secretary's the state. Now,
as you can imagine to you're in Republican states, they're
very happy to comply, and they of course won't clean
the voter roles if that hasn't been done in Democrat states,
it's a little bit more challenging. And if they are
not complied with what we ask and these are just
basic laws that are already set up in place, we
(07:15):
just want them to enforce them. Then we of course
have to bring the lawsuits forward. And you know you're
talking about signature verification. It's why we want people in
the room. It's why in the tabulation center where those
mail and ballots come in, we want you as a volunteer.
Protect the Vote dot com is the website if anybody
wants to join up on our team. We have an
amazing opportunity right now that the RNC really hasn't had
(07:38):
in forty years. We had to consent to create forty
years ago placed upon the RNC. That meant that we
couldn't train people to work in these polling locations, and
in the tabulation centers we can only have pole watchers.
The judge that implemented that can set degree passed away.
About a year ago the decree was lifted, and now
we actually have this amazing ability and the amount of
(07:59):
transparentarancy that gives us cannot be overstated. But we need
bodies in the room. We need legal experts in the
room so that when you see there is a problem,
we can flag it, we can deal with it in
that moment. You have oftentimes these machines Tutor that you
know or regulated by a specific person to match the
signatures that come in on these mailing ballots. We train
(08:21):
our people all across this country how that machine should
be calibrated so that you know it is indeed checking
for the signature match. So look, we do everything in
our power possible, but we need people to help us,
so we would love more volunteers. We utilize a lot
of these primaries across the country as sort of a
test run for the systems we have in place. In
(08:42):
the plan we have in place. We have war rooms
set up and every major swing state across the country
so that we can strike in a moment's notice. And
we can't address these problems when we see them. But
we can't do it alone. So again, I would like
to have more people come out and volunteer.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
the Tutor Dixon podcast. I think it's so critical that
people understand this because if you look at the numbers,
for some reason in Michigan, in the twenty fourteen gubernatorial race.
From twenty fourteen to twenty eighteen, suddenly there were eight
(09:15):
hundred thousand more Democrat voters from twenty fourteen to twenty eighteen.
I do believe that after twenty sixteen, like you said,
Donald Trump brings this organic support nobody understands. I think
they went, oh, my goodness, what happened. We have got
to do something to change this. And they did bring
in a lot of ground game operations. They're great organizers.
We know this. I mean, I hate to say it,
(09:36):
but it's true. But there is a question of how
do you gain eight hundred thousand. That's a lot. And
it happened in twenty eighteen, and those voters have continued
to come out, they show up. I mean, those numbers
are still there. And that's why I feel like, yeah,
I want to know that they're actually checking these absentee ballots.
Want I mean, we know that a lot have gone out.
(09:57):
We know that we have this radical secretary of State.
It is definitely a concern of ours, and that's why
so many people have called on the RNC. And I
think that there is there was some confusion in the past,
people like why isn't the RNC involved in these elections? Well,
legally you couldn't have been. Now you can, but you
have to have the people. And that's the one thing
that I keep saying to my Republican friends, like, yes,
(10:19):
you want this, you have to be involved, you have
to be doing it. There needs to be help on
the ground, especially if you are an attorney or anyone
like that. Please bring people to the RNC, because this
is a different race and it's different every moment. And
I think that's been another shocking thing to watch the
Joe Biden switch out was to me, it's just it's
(10:41):
totally wrong. It's totally disappointing, and yet we have no
recourse against it because this is the Democrats land that
we right now are currently living in because of the
mainstream brainwashing media. It's shocking to me. And yet they're
not pushing back, and at this point, there's no time
to try to take make a legal maneuver on this,
say wait a minute, you can't do this. They know this,
(11:02):
They knew what they were doing. So suddenly they switch
out the cognitively impaired candidate and they put in Kamala Harris,
who refuses to do any media because we know what's
going to happen if she talks, if somebody has to
have a conversation with her and it's not scripted, she's
a complete moron. I mean, she cannot have a conversation,
and if she did, it would be terrifying to the
(11:23):
American people. But I've been watching what happened over the
last few days. Everybody thought it would be Josh Shapiro,
a very weird rollo out of that too, Like Josh Shapiro,
it's gonna be in Pennsylvania. It's gonna be a Pennsylvanian.
Just kidding. It's Tim Waltz. And now we find out
this guy is a total communist. He's seduced completely by China,
spent his honeymoon there, had his wedding day on the
(11:46):
anniversary of the Tienamen Square and massacre because he wanted
it to be that day. He intentionally got married on
that day so that it would be memorable. I mean,
these were people that were out there marching against a
communist government because they wanted freedom. The things that we
talk about every day, freedom of the press, freedom of speech.
(12:07):
Right now we're questioning the freedom of the press because
it seems like a propaganda network. I mean, everything seems
like it's very much state run media. What do you
think about this choice when we know Kamala is not
capable of talking and his background is very, very disqualifying.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, tupa, this is the most radical far lank left
ticket in the history of America politics. There's there are
no two ways about it. That's a fact and it
is It's amazing to see where we are in this country.
You just kind of ran through it a little bit.
But look, let's back up for a second and even
go back two months ago. The idea that in the
span of somewhere around like forty hours you would get
(12:47):
a change in Joe Biden, the current President of the
United States, a guy who had said on a Friday
it would take something like an act of God to
get him to drop out of this race. He was
one hundred percent on board to do it. Hours later,
we get a post on ex that says, actually, just kidding,
I'm going to go out of this and I'm actually
going to pass the Batona on to Kamala Harris. We
(13:08):
got that ex post later, of course, for some reason,
it wasn't in the first one. That in and of
itself would have been enough to shake this entire country
and say, hold on a minute, this is crazy. This
is like an eleventh hour situation. And then to see
the way to your point, the media has swooped in.
The mainstream media coronated Kamala Harris, done a one hundred
(13:31):
and eighty return on her image for the American people. Man,
they're trying to sell this woman like she is the
greatest political figure in the history of American politics. And
you know that when she gets in front of a
camera as you just said, and is unscripted and has
actually asked real questions about policy, domestic policy, foreign policy,
(13:52):
current things that have happened under her watch, as the
borders are, and yes she was the borders are, even
though they're trying to erase that history as well. We
know she's not going to have a cognizant thought. She's
not going to be able to actually articulate any points
that are going to make sense to the American people
or that they are going to want to buy into.
And that is why they are running this basement strategy
(14:13):
with Kamala Harris. It is very frightening to see that
this is where we are in this country. Fourteen and
a half million people actually voted for Joe Biden. Not
a single one voted for Kamala Harris. She's now been
plugged in there, slotted into that spot against the will
of the Democrat voters in this country. And then you've
got her new running mate, Tim Walls, who I got
(14:34):
to tell you something. The stuff that this guy did
in his state of Minnesota is terrifying. It's very communists
in its nature. Hotline so that you can rat out
your neighbors if they're not following his COVID protocols, which
we're incredibly strict, incredibly stringent. He sat back and watched
Minneapolis burn to the ground, small businesses, lifelong dreams of people, burn,
(14:54):
federal buildings, police offices.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
His wife bragged about opening the windows of the governor
mansion to smell the building's burning.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Plus in the world talk.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
About the elite and the poor. This is like the
separation of classes that we're seeing.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, it never affected them. It was never going to
be a problem, right then, guess who it was a
problem for. It was a problem for low income neighborhoods,
which are primarily found in the inner cities of places
like Minneapolis, and you go around the country and you
can obviously see the same things. A guy who wanted
to put feminine hygiene products and actually signed in the
law putting them into always bathrooms and schools at the
(15:32):
age of fourth grade. This is really sick and twisted
stuff of your parent in Minnesota and you don't agree
with your child getting a sex change operation, guess what
the government could come in and revoke your rights as
a parent to that child.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It's but I think it's deeper than that, because when
you look at that and you compare that to what
China did in their revolution to get Mao in and
all the communists, all the Communist values in, it was
through the this type. This means of going to the
kids saying you're in charge. You turn in your parents,
(16:05):
you turn in your neighbors. This kind of stuff that
he has done. You know, I think people mistake this
as saying, oh gosh, you know this could happen, they
could trans our kids. It's not about transing the kids.
It's about controlling their minds. It's about saying you're in charge.
It's just like what we see in all these Disney movies.
Where the kids the parents are idiots. It's about changing
the kid into believing that the future is yours to create.
(16:29):
And you have to get rid of the old regime.
You have to get rid of your parents. You have
to get rid of the people who actually know something
because they've been paying taxes, they understand freedom. They have
made them afraid of freedom. And he's doing it in
his state. And that's the thing that I think people
need to understand. He is the face of big government.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, and that's exactly right. And it's crazy because the
things that you continue to hear out there from Kamala Harrison,
from Waltz, and I'm sure we'll hear more of them
as this campaign continues, and that the lies that they
try to spew and throw at Donald Trump and conservatives
are often the things that they themselves are actually doing.
(17:11):
And I hope people have paid attention to this. If
I could, I just want to go back very quickly
to Josh Shapiro, the governor of the state of Pennsylvania.
Now we all know that Kamala Harris cannot become president
of the United States without winning the state of Pennsylvania.
It was a very obvious pick for her. A lot
of people thought that that was going to be the
way she went. They made Josh Shapiro, a Jewish American,
(17:33):
come out and denounce his support for Israel so that
he could be considered for this role, and then they
snubbed him. Then they said, you know what, nevermind, We're
kind of done with you now. And it's because they
had to play to the far left radicals in the
base of the Democrat Party. These are the pro Hamas people,
the people who really are so anti Semitic at their core,
(17:55):
anti American at their core. That is another red flag
I think for a lot of people. When you look
at this EP choice that Kamala Harris mate and anyone
out there who was a Jewish voter, I hope they've
taken a long, hard look at the Democrat Party. These
are people who do not care about Israel. They are
happy with the anti Semitism. They're final to let it
(18:16):
just spew out of college campuses in every corner of
this country. It is sick and twisted and very frightening
the world that we are in right now, and how
close we really are tutor to seeing a change in
this country that I don't even think we can sathom
right now, and I don't think we come back from
if we go down that path.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Let's not forget that. When Kamala Harris met with Benjamin Nuttnyelle,
who she came out and her comments were that if
we want a ceasefire, She's the first person to come
out and say that she absolutely demands a cease fire
from Israel and is not willing to look at anything
else and said if not, then there will be consequences
(18:56):
for Israel. There's no consequences for a Ran. I mean,
this is the scary thing. They came back into power
and they took away every protection that Trump had in
against the world's largest state sponsor of terror, which is Iran,
and they gave them all the money back, they gave
them all the resources. Why is she going after Israel
(19:18):
and she says nothing about Iran. I think this is
incredibly scary. I think the relationships, the relationships these two
have with some of the arbiters of evil in the
entire world. I mean, look at China Iran, which we
know they're talking to North Korea and they're talking to Russia.
(19:38):
We just saw China and Russia flying bombers together in
our airspace. We've never seen that before. I just don't
know how we wake up the American people to what
this really is. It is dangerous and I do not
say that lightly.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
It's so dangerous. And you know, it's funny whenever you
go back to twenty sixteen and actually look at a
lot of the rhetoric around Donald Trump, the things that
people continue to say about him. If Donald Trump becomes president,
we will be in World War three. If Donald Trump
has the nuclear codes, we are in for a disaster.
All of the things that they predicted are actually the
(20:15):
things that are happening under Biden and Harris right now.
And if you think about Donald Trump, what did we
not have a single new war? What did we have
peace agreements? In the Middle East? Aaron did not have
any funding. We removed that funding. And by the way,
we took away all of the money they were making
on the oil because we were energy independent and almost
(20:36):
the net energy export are here in the United States.
There are so many reasons that the things we see
and the destabilization in the world right now has happened,
and you can trace it back to the policies of
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. A strong United States and
a strong leader in the United States is good for
the entire world. It stabilizes the rest of the world.
(20:58):
Our adversaries right now are licking their chops thinking that
Kamala Harris had the ability to potentially be the president
of the United States. I'll tell you what doesn't like
it the stock market. Look at the response of the
stock market. That is actually a direct correlation to the
sentiments of the people in this country. Whenever people are
worried about something like that happening, a possible Kamala Harris presidency,
(21:20):
you see it relayed in the stock market. And I'll
tell you right now, you've talked to a lot of
economic experts, they feel like may already be in a recession.
I can tell you there is only one candidate running
for president of the United States who understands the economy,
who understands how to make world peace, who understands how
to secure our southern border. It is Donald J. Trump.
(21:40):
Kamala Harris and Tim Wals have no idea what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
No. I think you're so right when you look at
what happened with the stock market. But also I think
democrats see this too, because notice people weren't jumping to
run with her. I mean, this was not her being
courted by people. If you look at what happened after
the debate, when it was clear they're done with him,
throwing him overboard like he's out, you suddenly saw Gavin
(22:04):
knewse M doing all these interviews. You had Gretchen Whitmer
doing all of these interviews, You had Pritzker out there.
These guys were the vultures waiting to strike. They wanted
that seat. They for some reason, thought they could get
her out of there. When it was very clear that
the media and the powers that be said you can't
throw Kamala off the ship too, they said, okay, we're
(22:24):
going to step back. Did one of them say they
wanted to BVP. Not one, not one of these powerhouse
governors that they have in their back pocket. Not one
of them wanted to be beside her. And the story
that we're hearing is Josh Shapiro is now saying I'd
rather run in twenty eight. Well, he must thinks she
can't win either, or at least they think these policies
are too radical, and they are too radical. But I
(22:47):
will say, we've seen them use power in manipulation, manipulations
of messages. We've had multiple people say Donald Trump is
going to banned contraception. I mean, it's gone so extreme.
And Whitmer's out there, she's perpetuating that. All these governors
are still perpetuating these lives. And obviously the Dobbs messages
out there, they're running ads like you would not believe.
(23:11):
How do you counteract that? Are there going to be
some really good ad campaigns out of the Trump team
out of the RNC? What should we expect?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Well, one thousand percent. Well, look, you have to look
at the amount of money that has been dumped into
Kamala Harris's coronation and they have, I mean they have
spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the course of
seventeen days. It's been astronomical because man, they needed every
play they could possibly get to help boost her up.
We have to think strategically a little bit. Whenever you're
(23:41):
looking in an election cycle, you don't want to burn
through all of your cash before the first day of
early voting starts. Right, we know that half the population
will vote before election day, so we have to talk
to them. To your point, We've got to make sure
we engage with these people. We have to set the
record straight, because it's not even just gas lighting anymore.
You know, people like to use that word to your
gasolating gasolating. These are lives. It is a lie to
(24:04):
say that Donald Trump wants to sign a federal abortion man.
But they are running on that because they know they
cannot run on any policy that Kamala Harris and Joe
Biden have put into place under their administration because they
have failed the American people, so they're going to try
and run on abortion. They consistently try to talk about
how the economic downturn is as a result of Donald Trump.
(24:27):
Excuse me, Donald Trump actually had the best economy this
country has seen in decades. And you don't have to
even take my work for it. Think back to four
years ago, how your life actually felt. Yes, we had
a worldwide pandemic, but people knew that their job was
paying them more, that they could actually put a little
savings away, that maybe they went on the family vacation
(24:48):
they hadn't gone on for the first time in a
long time. Yes, we of course have ads, planned strategic
ads across different states, and key areas, targeting very specific
groups of people who we know, you know, we need
to win this election. We also need to be talking
to people online. Digital is a huge part of our
strategy as well, and we plan to get out there
(25:09):
and actually physically be on the ground in addition to
all of the digital all of the TV ads that
we will run. We're going to be engaged. No one
more so, of course than Donald Trump himself. You seek
JD vance out all across the country as well. So, look,
we have it seems like a long time ago. It
is obviously a short time. You know, we have what
eighty nine days or so left in this election cycle.
(25:32):
But we have to be a little bit strategic with
how we do things. We're not going to just dump
all of our money in right now before early bouto starts,
but we do need to engage with those voters before
they go cast their first vote the first day of
early voting.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, it is shocking to me. I'm like, oh gosh,
now it's August. We've already had our primary here.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I know.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I think Wisconsin is the next swing state, and then
I think that's all the swing states for primaries. I
think we have a few more primaries into September, but
it really does feel like it's go time now. Stay
tuned for more of my interview with Laura Trump, But
first I want to take a moment to tell you
about my partners at bond Arms. It's Tudor Dixon, and
everyone knows I am a firm believer in our God
(26:13):
given Second Amendment rights. And while I hope and pray
that the November election restores every day American values, now
is the time for you to purchase in a firearm
to protect yourself and your loved ones. I'm here to
tell you about an amazing Texas made, thirty year old
handgun company called bond Arms. Bond Arms makes unique, well
made handguns for first time buyers like me, or avid
(26:35):
collectors or people who just want powerful protection in these
troubled times. Bond Arms makes the smallest, most powerful, best
built personal protection handguns that will allow you and your
loved ones to safely sleep at night. Right now, you
need to go to their website it's get Bondarms dot
com and learn more about the bond Arms handguns with
MSRPs starting as low as two hundred and seventy seven dollars,
(26:58):
and I promise you you will get a sense of
relief once you own one. Visit the website it's get
bondarms dot com to find out how to get up
to a fifty dollars rebate on your new bond arms
this month, and make sure you tell them I sent
you again. That website is get bondarms dot com. Now
more with lar Trump right after this before I let
(27:21):
you go. I know that there are people across the country.
I mean, we have listeners across the country. Obviously I'm
in Michigan, but for anybody who wants to get involved,
because it is so critical that we have people that
are in the room, that we have people that are
monitoring from all different levels and all different backgrounds. How
do they do that? How do they contact you guys?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah? The website we have setup is called protect the
Vote dot com. Again, Protect the Vote dot Com. You
can go on there. If you're a lawyer, we will
train you. You don't need to be trained an election
lawsuit or we'll train you and we can deploy you
to different states depending on the laws they have a
place in that state. You can become a pole watcher,
a poll worker. Also if you want to find out
(28:01):
in your area, am I registered? What is the registration deadline?
When does early voting start? When does it In all
of that information, Swamp the Vote USA dot com against
Swamp the Vote USA dot com get we make it
very easy. We break it all down from there. Make
sure you're registered, make sure that you are out voting,
and make sure after you vote. We want people to
(28:24):
get involved and take people to the polling locations from
that moment all the way up until the last day
of early voting, all the way up until election day.
Because if we all target ten people across this country
to say, hey, I know that my neighbor down the
street has voted Republican before, I don't know if they
voted in the last election cycle. Get them out to vote.
That's how we win this thing. If you remember, Donald
(28:46):
Trump got the most primary votes of any candidate in history,
it's because we used the system like this. We use
peer to peer contact. We use people in their own communities,
talking to friends, talking to fellow churchgoers, parents at your
kids school saying hey and make sure you get out
and vote. We all can do something. We can all
get engaged again. The two websites Protect the Vote dot com,
(29:07):
swap the Vote USA dot com.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And I know if I download the Turning Point app
or the AFW app. When I look at that, if
you're wondering, well, who are my neighbors and how do
I know, you can actually see who's voted Republican. I mean,
it is kind of crazy, but you can just pull
it up in your neighborhood. When you're there, you'll see
which of your neighbors are like minded, and you can
go talk to them and have that conversation. I've found
(29:32):
that that's incredibly helpful. I just think that people are
mistakenly believing that this is a huge commitment. It's not
a huge commitment. It's one night that you have to
be there on all night making sure you know what's happening.
There's a few trainings, but in the whole scheme of things,
this is you being a part of protecting something that
(29:52):
is so much bigger than us, this amazing country, and
we need you. We need you to do it.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yes, we need every person out there. Look, I think
that when I took on this co chair role at
the RNC, I'll be honest, it was a little daunting
and overwhelming to have eight months from the time that
Michael and I were elected into these roles until arguably
the most critical election of our lifetime. I have two
young kids, and I said, gosh, I know it's going
to mean a lot of time away from them, but
(30:19):
we all are going to be asked by our children,
our grandchildren and the next generation, what is it that
you did in the year twenty twenty four. How is
it that you actually stood up and you made a difference?
And we all can do that, tutor, And so this
is how I'm doing it. People out there listening, are
watching across the country. You can do it as well.
And then you can look at your children on November six,
(30:42):
your grandchildren and say, you know what I made sure
this happened. I made sure Donald Trump was reelected as
a forty seven president. I made sure that we got
it an expansively in the House, and we took back
the United States Senate. We're going to enact real change
in this country. It's going to mean a better country
for all of us.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It's so critical. I think people believe that the United
States will be safe forever. We've seen great countries fall before.
Having some tim walls. Honestly, I see this and I'm like,
oh my goodness, could you have picked a more radical person,
someone who has been romanced for decades by the story
of China, by the story of oppression. The oppressors are
(31:21):
what he is romanced by, and it's very clear. And
so I just want people to know that this is
the time. If you want to protect it, if you
think it's safe, it's only safe because of you. So
you got to get out there, make sure you go
to those websites, and make sure you help us all
out so that we are winning. Laura Trump, thank you
so much for being on today.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Thank you great to be with you, Thanks for.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
