Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I have Sarah Broadwater
and Kyle Olsen with me today. We're just looking at
the last few days of this race. I can't believe
it were almost there. And in the midst of this,
you have Biden coming out and not helping Kamala Harris
at all, which I think is interesting because if you
(00:21):
were Joe Biden, would you want to help her at all.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
There's this argument in the media, and I think it
was Jensaki that was trying to make it about his
not credible legacy, like she's ruined.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
She like with his legacy away from him.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
That's how I feel. But they say, well, the best
chance of his legacy is Kamala being reelected.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Boloney, it's done. I mean, he worked his entire life
to become president and they stabbed him in the back
and he had to come out over a Twitter and
write us a dear John letter. I mean, there is
that's the legacy. He was usurped, there was a coup,
that's the legacy.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
And then he never he didn't put a video out
for days because most instances like this, the president gives
an address and says I'm not running for reelection right
TV typically yeah, right, and he just it was almost
like they were holding a gun to his head and
telling him to you sign the letter.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
He's never handed the baton to her. They've never been
on stage together again. You've never seen them together again.
After that, he went to the DNC, he spoke she
was not even there. Do you think for a second
he wasn't like, I will come, but she is not
going to be there. He legit hates her.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
My first thought was did he learn nothing from the
Kate Middleton saga where they just released the statement and
everyone was like, I wait.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I think he pays attention to Kate Middleton.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Come on, everybody pays attention to the royal family.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
The biggest air I are disaster in the world. But
I mean to be fair, she's just married into a position.
This man is the president of the United States. No,
he he knows exactly what he was doing. He knows
exactly what happened to him. So that brings us to
his latest remarks, which I don't think. I think it's
(02:10):
similar to when people have dementia, but there's something that
they've lived their whole life and it's like ingrained in them.
Have you seen that video of the woman who is
the ballerina and when they and she's got dementia and
she's in an old folks home and they play Swan
Lake and she immediately starts dancing because it comes back
from memory. This is how I feel politicsis for Joe Biden.
(02:33):
So the minute they asked him about Trump, he was like,
I'm gonna take Kamala down. And this is what he
had to say about Trump's supporters. It's the newest deplorables here.
It is my home state of Delaware. They're being decent,
honorable people.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Knowing garbage icy flow out there is just supporters.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The only garbage icee floating out there are head supporters. Hello,
garbage people, thank you for joining me on the podcast today.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's good to be here. Well. And now there's debate
about where the apostrophe was in supporters. Was its supporter's apostrophe?
Was he referring to the comedian, But regardless, it's He's
created a huge problem again if it was Hillary with
her deplorables comment, and then now it's it's him. But
(03:21):
also Bill Clinton is not helping anything. And he made
when he was in Georgia he made this comment about
the Lake and Riley situation.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
He had a case in Georgian not very long ago,
didn't you. They made an ad about it about it
young woman who had been killed von Emmiger. Yeah, well
it's lay it all men properly vetted that probably wouldn't laugh.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Here he is making Donald Trump's case that we need
vetting because we're letting in very horrible people. But that,
of course is not the only thing. This week, Bill
Clinton was just relatively close to us. He made an
appearance in western Michigan, Miskegan Heights specifically, and he's He's
(04:05):
did some other stops as well, but he made a
couple interesting points there. One he talked about he was
making this case about why people should vote for Kamala Harris,
and he said this, I.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Don't think it's right to say that people have to
vote for Donald Trump caused the economies.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I don't believe that what he's admitting is that the
Trump economy was better. But that's not a good enough
reason to vote for Trump, and people should vote for
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So this is my feeling on it. Democrats don't like Trump,
but they don't really like Kamala Harris, and who wants
Kamala Harris to truly win. They're all pretending that they do,
but they say this stuff that they are smarter than this.
They know Bill Clinton knows the effect of the comment
(05:00):
about properly vetting. He's not He's not suffering from dementia.
He knows what he's doing. He knows what it means
to come out and say that in Miskegan, in a
in Michigan, in a swing state. They know. The last
thing Hillary Clinton wants is the first woman president to
win against Trump. That's the last she would And Bill
(05:23):
Clinton has lived under her thumb after the Monica Lewinsky
scandal for years. You think he wants that. He's like,
good grief, Please don't let Kamala win against Trump, held bell.
I'll never have any piece, you know, But that's a
good point.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I've that that wasn't the only thing he said. He
he's a very he's a smart guy, and he's very knowledgeable,
knows history, et cetera. And he talked in Miskegan. He
talked at length about Israel and Hamas, which it seems
to me that's not something he should be talking about
(06:00):
because that just sort of agitates people on both sides
of that situation, and it's people that they can't afford
to lose. And so by having Bill Clinton talk at
length about Israel and Hamas was also unhelpful. But he
(06:20):
made this comment about the Muslims in Michigan who are refusing,
at least at this point, are refusing to vote for
Kamala Harris when I read.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
People in Michigan were thinking about it, not voting because
they're mad the Boto administration for Don Arriget's historic obligation
to try to keep you Israel from being destroyed. I
think that's a mistake because Donald Trumps was showing.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
What he wants.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
And I don't think it's And he claims it's good
for Israel, but I don't think it is. I think
we still have to find a way to share of
the future. We cannot kill our way out of the complext.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So this situation, of course, is there. It was a
huge uncommitted movement in the Democratic Party where they wanted
to make a statement. The Democrats wanted to make a
statement against Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris because of
Biden's record when it comes to Israel and Hamas. And
(07:30):
so what we have seen in polling in Michigan is
Trump is actually polling higher amongst the Michigan Muslims than
Harris is. And there was a poll that showed Green
Party candidate Jill Stein was leading both of them. And
so there's a real problem. They have a real problem.
(07:51):
And so with him bringing this up again, the Midwesterner
wrote another story about it, so it's in the media again.
But he's now what is he doing to really make
the case for Kamala Harris?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
But this is my point, what are any of them doing?
I really don't believe that they want another eight years
of a Harris Biden administration, not because they don't like
their policies, it's because they want a chance at that seat.
First of all, you know why the Clintons don't want it,
I just explained. And the last thing she could suffer
through is having another a different woman beat Trump. That
(08:24):
would be devastating for her. So she really doesn't want that.
But then if you look at why would a Gavin
Newsom want this? He wants in four years. That's why
he debated Ron de Santis. He assumed rond de Santis
is the nominee in four years, and then he was
going to go after Room. He didn't foresee Jadie Vance
being picked as the vice president, so that calculation was
(08:46):
maybe off. But I guarantee you that in four years
there will be a display of Republicans that come back
to try to challenge Jadie Vance, and Gavin Newsom wants
to be there. He does want it to be Kamala
Harris who is going to be running for a second term.
They won't be I mean, you know how the Democrats are.
You're not going to run against the incumbent. I mean,
(09:07):
nobody lets you really run against the incumbent. It's just
done for them. Their careers are over. Too many of
these guys, the Josh Shapiro's, the Gavin Newsom's. I don't
know what's happening with Gretchen Wimmer. I feel like she's
off the table because she went crazy. But the other
ones have obviously kept their marbles and they're trying to
keep their ducks in a row so that they can
(09:27):
get into the White House, and a Kamala presidency just
screws that up for them. She is like on an
island on her own with crazy Tim Walls.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
This is not good for her well, and all the
staff that's in works for all these people who there's
the fighting between the Biden staffers and the Kamala Obama staffers.
There's so many factions right now that I don't think
any of the staff that's working for her really believes
in her, because none of them have been there with
her from the beginning, for one, but they also probably
have interests. I mean there's a couple stephers. I know
(10:00):
for a fact that one of them is working for
Tim Walls and one of them is working for Kamala Harris,
who were former Hillary Clinton people, but that are very
close with a Grutchen Whitmer instead and have been working
to lift her presence up. So it's just there's too
many competing factions right now that I don't think anyone's
really like all in that she had.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Nobody was ready to be all in. That's the other thing.
Nobody was ready. This happens too fast, and they're like, oh,
she's exhausted and her campaign is getting stale, like getting stale, exhausted.
She's only been doing that. I mean Trump, I feel like,
if I remember correctly, I think Trump announced just before
the twenty two election, which people were going, uhh, this
(10:40):
is the best timing. I think that when I look back,
it feels like Donald Trump has been running for president
for ten years. You know, this election cycle seems so long.
But I keep saying Biden because she's only been running
for half an hour and she's exhausted and she doesn't
know what to say. But this is the problem too.
She doesn't know what to say because she's never been vetted,
she's never use Kyle sent me a clip that I
(11:01):
have to play because I think this is exactly what
we're talking about when we say this is what happens
when you have not been prepared for this. She didn't
really have to have big rallies or run or talk
to people when she was vice president because it was COVID.
Same for her previous jobs as senator. I mean, she
was just kind of like anointed that because she was
(11:23):
in California. So this is the first time she's had
to talk to the American people. This is just a
great example of how that's gone for her. So listen
to this. Okay, now I want it's of you to.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Tell your own name. Do that, because it's about all
of us.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It's about all of us talk about not understanding a moment.
They are literally chanting your name, woman, and I get
what she was trying to do. She's trying to be like,
I'm gonna bring you on. The looks on everybody just
stops and everybody's face is like wait, what just cuts
off the moment. She needs people chanting her name. That's
(12:02):
instead of this getting this dumb clip, this embarrassing clip
from I think it's ann Arbor that she does this
in Michigan, in a swing state, instead of getting the
clip of them chanting Kamala and standing there like, yes,
I'm presidential, She's like a kindergarten street. Now everybody say
your own name. People are like, what can you imagine?
(12:22):
Who's like Joe Jack? You know, they're just that everyone's.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Name is like one or one to three syllables, like
it just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, I know who's gonna do. I mean, that's not
the that's not what you do. But she has no
in she doesn't have political instincts, she doesn't have instincts
to do this. She also has gotten completely caught up
on what she is going to do about this garbage comment.
So this is what she had to say about the
president calling supporters garbage.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
You sympathize with any votes that you do feel offended
by or insulted by the garbage comment.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
I'm learning for president of the United States. I will
be traveling for three states today to do what I
have been doing throughout, which is talking with the American
people about the fact that, first of all, I get
it in terms of the concerns they have about challenges
like the price of grothree.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I had to listen to this twice, so I'm gonna
listen to it twice again with you guys, because I
was like, this guy literally says to her, do you
sympathize with any of the voters who feel offended or
insulted by the garbage comment? This is we're what five
days out from the election now. Her biggest criticism is
(13:38):
she will not respond. But I want to say, even
the other day, when that comedian made the comment at
the Madison Square Garden, Trump came out and he's like,
I don't know this guy. I don't approve what he said,
Like it's not I don't agree with this, That's not
how I feel. She is asked, do you sympathize.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
This is her response, You sympathize with any votes that
you do bear the pendic by or insulted by the garbagemment.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
I'm running for president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I am running for president. I think what she's trying
to say is like, don't think about Joe Biden. She
won't even exe me. Yeah, as we commented last week,
she won't even call him president. She's like, forget about him. No,
you need to address this. And it's not as though
this is like what could possibly happen if she doesn't
address this. I mean, Kyle literally had a deplorable sticker
(14:30):
on his car for four years like this. That was
a moment.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I was very proud of that.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I'm surprised you didn't put a sticker on the new
car with.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But that was and we you know, there will be
garbage stickers, a garbage bind sticker instead.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, I have old garbage pale stickers. We have a
garbage kids.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
But we're like, we should use Grover, although he's I
guess Sesame Street went woke, but yeah, that's true too.
We're the Grovers. Oh no, it wasn't Grover, it was
Oscar the Oh yeah, plaster over and now I'm trying
to throw over as the guy who had like the
Superman cape. Yeah, he was blue Oscars also wook, but
he Oscar lived under Garbscan. Let's take a quick commercial break.
(15:13):
We'll continue next on the Tutor Dixon podcast. She refuses
to address anything, she won't talk about it, but her
vice presidential choice is no different. Listen to Tim Walls
on the subject because this gosh, she's such a clown too.
(15:33):
He's so goofy.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I want to get your reaction to the President's comments,
but I want to put it into a larger context
of your recent comment comparing the Sunday Trump rally to
a Nazi rally. And I would also throw in there
Obama's bitter clingers guns at a religion comment from a
while back, the deplorable lines of the Lotary Clintons campaign,
and the way that Democrats are seen by some voters
as disrespecting them. And I have to ask, does that
(15:58):
undercut this close message of unity from your campaign? No,
certainly not.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And that's this their answer. No, I mean instead of
addressing it, instead of saying, you know what, we don't
feel that that's half the country. We want to bring
everybody together. I mean, this was an opportunity, in my opinion,
it's an opportunity for him to say, we actually feel
like this is the greatest country on earth and we
want to bring people together, and we don't. I don't
(16:27):
approve of what the President said. Throw it back on Biden,
get away from him. This is their opportunity to go
to swim as far away from the Biden Harris or
I guess you can't swim away from Biden. Yes, Biden
administration is possible and make your own Harris Walls administration.
But they don't know how to talk about this stuff.
(16:47):
Where are the people that are even sitting with them
and going You're going to get this question, Joe Biden.
He shot an arrow into your campaign last night. What
are you going to do to fight back and pull
these people back to you? And he's like, no, I
don't think this is a problem. We've represented rural people.
So the rural people are the garbage. We're the garbage.
(17:08):
Like you're admitting that, No, I know these garbage people.
What in the world I mean?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Josh Sapiro, to his credit, at least went on and
was like, I don't think it's smart to probably offend
an entire group of people. But that's why is Colist
so afraid to say anything bad about Biden? Because I
don't understand even politically why she would be, because in
my mind, I'd say he's careless with his words. That's
(17:33):
why we're moving on from Biden. And it's a new
me like, I don't understand why does she have any
conversations about this?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
None one thing, and maybe it's a thousand percent anecdotal,
but one thing I have observed just perusing social media
is that Trump supporters tend to focus on the candidate
that Harris and policy, not one hundred percent, but generally speaking,
(18:05):
I have seen so many times, and this whole garbage
thing is a good example, so many times where Harris
supporters will obviously attack Trump and his policies and even
policies that aren't his, but they will also attack and
impune and denigrate the integrity and the motive and the
(18:26):
motivations of Trump supporters. And what they're doing is they're
you know, I think it's the I think they're attempting
to shame Trump supporters into not voting for him. And
and it's almost like if you are going to support him,
you are part of the problem. And it's because of
you know, you Trump supporters who are just you know,
(18:49):
trying to make a living and raise their family and
whatever else. It's because of you.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Well, that's why they exups for you, they de bank you,
they cut you out of social circles. It's because it's
not just the person you're voting for. The problem is
also you, so you therefore must be removed from society too.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
But it's you know who, It's like Keith Olberman, and
it's just really nasty condemnation, you know, condemning and just
really nasty stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, and this is how you end up with assassination
attempts because they make it like if you get rid
of these people completely, then will be safe. I mean
they not only attack Donald Trump, but they attack so
many of the supporters that the vitriol I mean even
people getting on a plane, the reports of somebody who
had a Maga hat on a plane, and the people
(19:42):
that go absolutely bananas. But it's like when you say triggered,
it's not even a joke. I know, people that get
nervous about going out with anything that is Republican on
because they're just going to be viciously attacked. It's like
that I sent you guys that can media, and the
other day it's like, you know, I gotta love MAGA
(20:03):
supporters because you know they made a choice when they
put that on in the morning, you know, because you
know you're walking into a firestorm because they have painted
us in such a horrible light and they think they're
winning on it. But you've got Elon Musk who was like,
you know what, this is not the country of censorship
(20:25):
or silencing, and that to your point, Kyle, that's what Sarah.
They're desperate to take away any any knowledge that there
was a country that had freedom and there was a
country where you could say this stuff. But it's so
so bigly backfiring on them because I look at these
numbers and I'm like, I mean, even the coverage, it's like,
(20:49):
you know, something like it's eighty percent positive for Harris
and eighty five percent negative for Trump. That is how
slanted the media is today, and yet the polling has
them neck and neck. So people have stopped believing in
the media. Therefore they have also stopped believing in the
(21:10):
Democrat candidate. Because the Democrat candidate. Their communication arm is
the media and she has nothing else going for because
nobody really believes that Kamala Harris has any deep feelings
about how to run the country because she can't express them.
And so if she can't come out to you and say, well,
these are the policies I'm running on. And honestly, we're
(21:31):
at a JD Vance event the other night in ground
Rapids and that's exactly what he said. He said, you know,
I will go after Kamala Harris and Tim Walls and
their policies every single day, but I would never go
after their supporters. But they go after the American people.
He said, that is not what this race is about.
This race is about our team going after their team
(21:53):
and what they've done. But they're going after the absolutely
core people in this country. Is shocking.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I think that's why people liked in some ways the
JD Vance Tim Walls debates so much more because it
genuinely was a policy debate. They weren't attacking each other
for personal pettiness. They genuinely were going after policy. But
I want to go back to what you said on
Elon Musk because I think right now, all of these
I mean, it's mostly the left wing media is talking
(22:20):
about how Twitter is just a giant cesspool of conservatives,
and for once, Elon Musk is letting misinformation run rampant.
But he actually released a stats yesterday that showed there's
actually more Democrats on Twitter or X whatever you want
to call it now than Republicans. And so for the
first time, maybe Republicans aren't being fully throttled with their
(22:40):
opinions on X, but there's more Democrats that use Twitter
than Republicans.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
But I think too, it's I think the way it's
set up is when you are consuming the information on there,
you're going to see more of that. So that's sort
of the way it's working, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, So there, before we go, I do want to
bring up one thing because I think that sorry, did
I cut you off? You'll like all shaken.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
The way you just responded like that was a very
stupid observation.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Fine say not being sensitive to you. Sorry, go ahead
and tell us no, I'm done.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I learned my lesson.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Go ahead, all right? So AnyWho I thought we would
before we end, I want to bring something up because
I just think this is incredibly important. It's not getting
any attention. So the Ford CEO has apparently been driving
around a Chinese car that he flew into the United States.
A Chinese EV, a Chinese EV. Let's take a quick
(23:46):
commercial break. We'll continue next on the Tutor Dixon podcast.
Any Chinese vehicle should not be here. This is exactly
what Donald Trump is campaigning on, like, We're not going
to let the Chinese car market come into the United
States and destroy our car market. And it will. And
there are people that are like, oh, you know, why,
(24:08):
why can't we just be globalist?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yay.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Obviously that's happening with Ford because he brought this car on.
But he didn't just bring the car in. He brought
the car and he said it's fantastic. He loves the car.
He was like openly ragging it. He's selling it essentially
on this interview that he did totally Yeah, he loves it. No,
he wants to drive that over his Ford right right?
I mean, and how insulting to us. We have paid
(24:32):
billions of taxpayer dollars from the State of Michigan to
Ford GMS, to Lantis, but Ford has taken money from us,
and for him to bring a Chinese EV in here
and then brag on it when we're trying desperately to
protect ourselves from China. I mean, when we went to
(24:53):
the JD van Savenk, I thought he was very smart
when someone asked him, would you allow the Chinese to
come in and buy farmland and everything? And he said,
in during World War Two, would we have allowed Germany
to come and put a buy up farmland around our
military basis? No way, and why should it be any
different today with what we see with China and what
we see with China's plans. We have to protect ourselves.
(25:16):
But there's always like a oh, how bad could it be?
You know, there's a bit of mystery around these things
when you project something and you say, hey, if this
comes here, we suspect that our car market will be closed. Well,
we don't have to wonder anymore because it was just
like three days after this broke about the Ford CEO,
that Volkswagen came out and said they're likely going to
(25:37):
close three factories in Germany and cut tens of thousands
of jobs, not hundreds of jobs, not thousands of jobs,
tens of thousands of jobs. This would be devastating to Volkswagen.
This means that Volkswagen will not sell Volkswagens in their
home country of Germany anymore. They would have to rely
(25:59):
on mostly a US market. And the reason they say
they're going down is because they cannot compete with the
Chinese evs that have come in. They are being shut
down by the Chinese car market that came into their
home country. You look no further than that. There is
(26:19):
no question what that means. That one hundred percent means
Michigan is in major danger. But all of it, all
of the United States that have any car manufacturing, which
I think there's probably people in almost every state that
have some things to contribute to the US car market.
But for a Michigan devastating to have Chinese cars come
(26:40):
here and to find out that the Ford CEO is
touting them and they have he made a partnership with
a Chinese company to come into the state of Michigan.
What is the future of our car market If we
import cars from China, We're dead.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
It's why Trump was very vocal about saying that if
because China was trying to build a plant in Mexico
right across the border, so that way, you know, it
falls under US m c A, and these cars can
be imported into America, and he said he would put
tariffs on those vehicles. And of course, you know a
(27:20):
lot of people are very unhappy about the Chinese vehicles
coming into America and what they would do, and so
he said he would put tariffs on them to keep
them out of the US market. That plant now, he
said at his rally in Traverse City that that plant
(27:41):
is no longer being built, which he took credit for.
But it's it's a major, it's a major. It just
seems like such a tone deaf thing to say for
the CEO of Ford to brag about driving a Chinese
EV and how wonderful it is. He called it fantastic,
(28:01):
and he can't imagine giving it up. What sort of
signal are you sending to shareholders, to auto workers, to
the taxpayers of Michigan who have given your company billions
and billions of dollars to not move, to not leave.
(28:22):
I just think it sends a terrible message. And the
fact that it has not gotten more reaction or coverage
in the media or response from politicians is stunning to me.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'm genuinely shocked that he at least some shareholders have
not called for him to resign. I mean, maybe people
feel like that's an overreaction, but I think people know
how damning this will be. I really think there are
so few people that understand manufacturing. There's so few people
that understand the dangers of China, and those two together
are a mystery to the average American. But I don't
(28:56):
understand how. And that's only because of the media, because
the reac is on so many levels.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
China is a danger. First of all, they want to
take over here. Secondly, imagine them having control over all
of our vehicles. They just all get shut down one day,
We're all trapped, We're all sitting ducks. This would be catastrophic,
And yet we're considering doing this. But also we've seeded
the market of rare earth minerals to them. We've allowed
(29:21):
them to just do this, and they do it in
a very polluting way. They do it in a very
environmentally dangerous way, but nobody wants to say anything because well,
at least it's not in the United States. And we
much rather pay China to pay, not even pay to
have slave labor digging up these minerals and then processing
this and you see, they are polluting their country, They're
(29:42):
polluting their groundwater, they are killing their people. They're all
ending up with cancer. They don't even care. They have
no value for life. The entire situation is so dangerous,
but that it's also putting our entire economy at risk.
I mean, you lose our automotive industry. We are in
such big trouble, but you lose it at the same
time as replacing all of our vehicles with Chinese vehicles
(30:04):
that they will have complete control over it. It's a
recipe for disaster. And I just I hope that the
American people understand that Kamala Harris hasn't even thought this through.
She has no idea, None of them do, none of
CEO hasn't even thought it through. I mean, how can
that be? But it seems that way because I can't
imagine that this is so nefarious that he would actually
(30:26):
do this.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I just I guess in my mind, if you're the
CEO of a company, you're supposed to be the chief
champion of whatever product you make, So here you are
going out there to all your employees and saying, actually,
what we make here is crap. I'd rather drive of
this Chinese car, and so it just it doesn't make
any sense to me that he's literally destroying the jobs
of the very people he's supposed to employ.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
And I think it's important to make a distinction that
he's not driving the Chinese EV to sort of see
how the competition is. He's dry, he admits in the
in the interview, he's driving it because he likes that
car better, and he loves that car and he doesn't
want to get rid of it.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah. Well, I think this is just the clear message
to the American people there is one team out there.
And I say team because that's what Zachary Levi said
on our podcast. He's like, I'm not voting for Trump.
I'm voting for the team that's around him. I'm voting
for the rfks and the Tulsa Gabbards and the JD
Vances and all the people that come alongside him. And
that is also some incredibly incredibly smart manufacturing minds who
(31:32):
are also nationally secured, national security minded, who will say,
we have got to make sure that we make progress,
but we make smart progress. And that's not what we're
hearing on the other side. Even when you talk about
renewable energies. It's so frustrating to me that they're like, oh,
we're setting a deadline. You can't just set an arbitrary
deadline when you don't actually have the security to get there.
(31:53):
You have got to as as voters. Voters have got
to have the conversation of like, how how would you
do this? And that's why the next few days are
so crucial. Folks go out there, talk to your friends,
and if you're in Michigan, you can use tenxvotes dot com.
There's a couple other states they were saying they're in
now too. Pennsylvania I think was one of them. But
(32:16):
go to tenex votes dot com. That'll show you who
of your friends is a low propensity voter. But you
can get them out there. You've got to talk about
these things. These are not radical issues. This is not
like divisive stuff. This is protecting American workers, protecting American jobs,
protecting our national security. Is so easy to have this
(32:37):
conversation because this isn't even something that you're going to
sit down at Thanksgiving and have somebody walk out. You're
going to have any true interesting conversation. But don't wait
until Thanksgiving. You've got to have it in the next
three days, so get people out to vote. Make sure
you tune in tomorrow we'll have another great episode for you.
But thank you so much for tuning in today to
the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Remember you can get this episode
(32:58):
at Tutor disonpodcast dot com, the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. So join us next
time and have a blessed day.
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I have Sarah Broadwater
and Kyle Olsen with me today. We're just looking at
the last few days of this race. I can't believe
it were almost there. And in the midst of this,
you have Biden coming out and not helping Kamala Harris
at all, which I think is interesting because if you
(00:21):
were Joe Biden, would you want to help her at all.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
There's this argument in the media, and I think it
was Jensaki that was trying to make it about his
not credible legacy, like she's ruined.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
She like with his legacy away from him.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
That's how I feel. But they say, well, the best
chance of his legacy is Kamala being reelected.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Boloney, it's done. I mean, he worked his entire life
to become president and they stabbed him in the back
and he had to come out over a Twitter and
write us a dear John letter. I mean, there is
that's the legacy. He was usurped, there was a coup,
that's the legacy.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
And then he never he didn't put a video out
for days because most instances like this, the president gives
an address and says I'm not running for reelection right
TV typically yeah, right, and he just it was almost
like they were holding a gun to his head and
telling him to you sign the letter.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
He's never handed the baton to her. They've never been
on stage together again. You've never seen them together again.
After that, he went to the DNC, he spoke she
was not even there. Do you think for a second
he wasn't like, I will come, but she is not
going to be there. He legit hates her.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
My first thought was did he learn nothing from the
Kate Middleton saga where they just released the statement and
everyone was like, I wait.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I think he pays attention to Kate Middleton.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Come on, everybody pays attention to the royal family.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
The biggest air I are disaster in the world. But
I mean to be fair, she's just married into a position.
This man is the president of the United States. No,
he he knows exactly what he was doing. He knows
exactly what happened to him. So that brings us to
his latest remarks, which I don't think. I think it's
(02:10):
similar to when people have dementia, but there's something that
they've lived their whole life and it's like ingrained in them.
Have you seen that video of the woman who is
the ballerina and when they and she's got dementia and
she's in an old folks home and they play Swan
Lake and she immediately starts dancing because it comes back
from memory. This is how I feel politicsis for Joe Biden.
(02:33):
So the minute they asked him about Trump, he was like,
I'm gonna take Kamala down. And this is what he
had to say about Trump's supporters. It's the newest deplorables here.
It is my home state of Delaware. They're being decent,
honorable people.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Knowing garbage icy flow out there is just supporters.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The only garbage icee floating out there are head supporters. Hello,
garbage people, thank you for joining me on the podcast today.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's good to be here. Well. And now there's debate
about where the apostrophe was in supporters. Was its supporter's apostrophe?
Was he referring to the comedian, But regardless, it's He's
created a huge problem again if it was Hillary with
her deplorables comment, and then now it's it's him. But
(03:21):
also Bill Clinton is not helping anything. And he made
when he was in Georgia he made this comment about
the Lake and Riley situation.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
He had a case in Georgian not very long ago,
didn't you. They made an ad about it about it
young woman who had been killed von Emmiger. Yeah, well
it's lay it all men properly vetted that probably wouldn't laugh.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Here he is making Donald Trump's case that we need
vetting because we're letting in very horrible people. But that,
of course is not the only thing. This week, Bill
Clinton was just relatively close to us. He made an
appearance in western Michigan, Miskegan Heights specifically, and he's He's
(04:05):
did some other stops as well, but he made a
couple interesting points there. One he talked about he was
making this case about why people should vote for Kamala Harris,
and he said this, I.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Don't think it's right to say that people have to
vote for Donald Trump caused the economies.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I don't believe that what he's admitting is that the
Trump economy was better. But that's not a good enough
reason to vote for Trump, and people should vote for
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So this is my feeling on it. Democrats don't like Trump,
but they don't really like Kamala Harris, and who wants
Kamala Harris to truly win. They're all pretending that they do,
but they say this stuff that they are smarter than this.
They know Bill Clinton knows the effect of the comment
(05:00):
about properly vetting. He's not He's not suffering from dementia.
He knows what he's doing. He knows what it means
to come out and say that in Miskegan, in a
in Michigan, in a swing state. They know. The last
thing Hillary Clinton wants is the first woman president to
win against Trump. That's the last she would And Bill
(05:23):
Clinton has lived under her thumb after the Monica Lewinsky
scandal for years. You think he wants that. He's like,
good grief, Please don't let Kamala win against Trump, held bell.
I'll never have any piece, you know, But that's a
good point.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I've that that wasn't the only thing he said. He
he's a very he's a smart guy, and he's very knowledgeable,
knows history, et cetera. And he talked in Miskegan. He
talked at length about Israel and Hamas, which it seems
to me that's not something he should be talking about
(06:00):
because that just sort of agitates people on both sides
of that situation, and it's people that they can't afford
to lose. And so by having Bill Clinton talk at
length about Israel and Hamas was also unhelpful. But he
(06:20):
made this comment about the Muslims in Michigan who are refusing,
at least at this point, are refusing to vote for
Kamala Harris when I read.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
People in Michigan were thinking about it, not voting because
they're mad the Boto administration for Don Arriget's historic obligation
to try to keep you Israel from being destroyed. I
think that's a mistake because Donald Trumps was showing.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
What he wants.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
And I don't think it's And he claims it's good
for Israel, but I don't think it is. I think
we still have to find a way to share of
the future. We cannot kill our way out of the complext.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So this situation, of course, is there. It was a
huge uncommitted movement in the Democratic Party where they wanted
to make a statement. The Democrats wanted to make a
statement against Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris because of
Biden's record when it comes to Israel and Hamas. And
(07:30):
so what we have seen in polling in Michigan is
Trump is actually polling higher amongst the Michigan Muslims than
Harris is. And there was a poll that showed Green
Party candidate Jill Stein was leading both of them. And
so there's a real problem. They have a real problem.
(07:51):
And so with him bringing this up again, the Midwesterner
wrote another story about it, so it's in the media again.
But he's now what is he doing to really make
the case for Kamala Harris?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
But this is my point, what are any of them doing?
I really don't believe that they want another eight years
of a Harris Biden administration, not because they don't like
their policies, it's because they want a chance at that seat.
First of all, you know why the Clintons don't want it,
I just explained. And the last thing she could suffer
through is having another a different woman beat Trump. That
(08:24):
would be devastating for her. So she really doesn't want that.
But then if you look at why would a Gavin
Newsom want this? He wants in four years. That's why
he debated Ron de Santis. He assumed rond de Santis
is the nominee in four years, and then he was
going to go after Room. He didn't foresee Jadie Vance
being picked as the vice president, so that calculation was
(08:46):
maybe off. But I guarantee you that in four years
there will be a display of Republicans that come back
to try to challenge Jadie Vance, and Gavin Newsom wants
to be there. He does want it to be Kamala
Harris who is going to be running for a second term.
They won't be I mean, you know how the Democrats are.
You're not going to run against the incumbent. I mean,
(09:07):
nobody lets you really run against the incumbent. It's just
done for them. Their careers are over. Too many of
these guys, the Josh Shapiro's, the Gavin Newsom's. I don't
know what's happening with Gretchen Wimmer. I feel like she's
off the table because she went crazy. But the other
ones have obviously kept their marbles and they're trying to
keep their ducks in a row so that they can
(09:27):
get into the White House, and a Kamala presidency just
screws that up for them. She is like on an
island on her own with crazy Tim Walls.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
This is not good for her well, and all the
staff that's in works for all these people who there's
the fighting between the Biden staffers and the Kamala Obama staffers.
There's so many factions right now that I don't think
any of the staff that's working for her really believes
in her, because none of them have been there with
her from the beginning, for one, but they also probably
have interests. I mean there's a couple stephers. I know
(10:00):
for a fact that one of them is working for
Tim Walls and one of them is working for Kamala Harris,
who were former Hillary Clinton people, but that are very
close with a Grutchen Whitmer instead and have been working
to lift her presence up. So it's just there's too
many competing factions right now that I don't think anyone's
really like all in that she had.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Nobody was ready to be all in. That's the other thing.
Nobody was ready. This happens too fast, and they're like, oh,
she's exhausted and her campaign is getting stale, like getting stale, exhausted.
She's only been doing that. I mean Trump, I feel like,
if I remember correctly, I think Trump announced just before
the twenty two election, which people were going, uhh, this
(10:40):
is the best timing. I think that when I look back,
it feels like Donald Trump has been running for president
for ten years. You know, this election cycle seems so long.
But I keep saying Biden because she's only been running
for half an hour and she's exhausted and she doesn't
know what to say. But this is the problem too.
She doesn't know what to say because she's never been vetted,
she's never use Kyle sent me a clip that I
(11:01):
have to play because I think this is exactly what
we're talking about when we say this is what happens
when you have not been prepared for this. She didn't
really have to have big rallies or run or talk
to people when she was vice president because it was COVID.
Same for her previous jobs as senator. I mean, she
was just kind of like anointed that because she was
(11:23):
in California. So this is the first time she's had
to talk to the American people. This is just a
great example of how that's gone for her. So listen
to this. Okay, now I want it's of you to.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Tell your own name. Do that, because it's about all
of us.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It's about all of us talk about not understanding a moment.
They are literally chanting your name, woman, and I get
what she was trying to do. She's trying to be like,
I'm gonna bring you on. The looks on everybody just
stops and everybody's face is like wait, what just cuts
off the moment. She needs people chanting her name. That's
(12:02):
instead of this getting this dumb clip, this embarrassing clip
from I think it's ann Arbor that she does this
in Michigan, in a swing state, instead of getting the
clip of them chanting Kamala and standing there like, yes,
I'm presidential, She's like a kindergarten street. Now everybody say
your own name. People are like, what can you imagine?
(12:22):
Who's like Joe Jack? You know, they're just that everyone's.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Name is like one or one to three syllables, like
it just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, I know who's gonna do. I mean, that's not
the that's not what you do. But she has no
in she doesn't have political instincts, she doesn't have instincts
to do this. She also has gotten completely caught up
on what she is going to do about this garbage comment.
So this is what she had to say about the
president calling supporters garbage.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
You sympathize with any votes that you do feel offended
by or insulted by the garbage comment.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
I'm learning for president of the United States. I will
be traveling for three states today to do what I
have been doing throughout, which is talking with the American
people about the fact that, first of all, I get
it in terms of the concerns they have about challenges
like the price of grothree.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I had to listen to this twice, so I'm gonna
listen to it twice again with you guys, because I
was like, this guy literally says to her, do you
sympathize with any of the voters who feel offended or
insulted by the garbage comment? This is we're what five
days out from the election now. Her biggest criticism is
(13:38):
she will not respond. But I want to say, even
the other day, when that comedian made the comment at
the Madison Square Garden, Trump came out and he's like,
I don't know this guy. I don't approve what he said,
Like it's not I don't agree with this, That's not
how I feel. She is asked, do you sympathize.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
This is her response, You sympathize with any votes that
you do bear the pendic by or insulted by the garbagemment.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
I'm running for president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I am running for president. I think what she's trying
to say is like, don't think about Joe Biden. She
won't even exe me. Yeah, as we commented last week,
she won't even call him president. She's like, forget about him. No,
you need to address this. And it's not as though
this is like what could possibly happen if she doesn't
address this. I mean, Kyle literally had a deplorable sticker
(14:30):
on his car for four years like this. That was
a moment.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I was very proud of that.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I'm surprised you didn't put a sticker on the new
car with.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But that was and we you know, there will be
garbage stickers, a garbage bind sticker instead.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, I have old garbage pale stickers. We have a
garbage kids.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
But we're like, we should use Grover, although he's I
guess Sesame Street went woke, but yeah, that's true too.
We're the Grovers. Oh no, it wasn't Grover, it was
Oscar the Oh yeah, plaster over and now I'm trying
to throw over as the guy who had like the
Superman cape. Yeah, he was blue Oscars also wook, but
he Oscar lived under Garbscan. Let's take a quick commercial break.
(15:13):
We'll continue next on the Tutor Dixon podcast. She refuses
to address anything, she won't talk about it, but her
vice presidential choice is no different. Listen to Tim Walls
on the subject because this gosh, she's such a clown too.
(15:33):
He's so goofy.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I want to get your reaction to the President's comments,
but I want to put it into a larger context
of your recent comment comparing the Sunday Trump rally to
a Nazi rally. And I would also throw in there
Obama's bitter clingers guns at a religion comment from a
while back, the deplorable lines of the Lotary Clintons campaign,
and the way that Democrats are seen by some voters
as disrespecting them. And I have to ask, does that
(15:58):
undercut this close message of unity from your campaign? No,
certainly not.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And that's this their answer. No, I mean instead of
addressing it, instead of saying, you know what, we don't
feel that that's half the country. We want to bring
everybody together. I mean, this was an opportunity, in my opinion,
it's an opportunity for him to say, we actually feel
like this is the greatest country on earth and we
want to bring people together, and we don't. I don't
(16:27):
approve of what the President said. Throw it back on Biden,
get away from him. This is their opportunity to go
to swim as far away from the Biden Harris or
I guess you can't swim away from Biden. Yes, Biden
administration is possible and make your own Harris Walls administration.
But they don't know how to talk about this stuff.
(16:47):
Where are the people that are even sitting with them
and going You're going to get this question, Joe Biden.
He shot an arrow into your campaign last night. What
are you going to do to fight back and pull
these people back to you? And he's like, no, I
don't think this is a problem. We've represented rural people.
So the rural people are the garbage. We're the garbage.
(17:08):
Like you're admitting that, No, I know these garbage people.
What in the world I mean?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Josh Sapiro, to his credit, at least went on and
was like, I don't think it's smart to probably offend
an entire group of people. But that's why is Colist
so afraid to say anything bad about Biden? Because I
don't understand even politically why she would be, because in
my mind, I'd say he's careless with his words. That's
(17:33):
why we're moving on from Biden. And it's a new
me like, I don't understand why does she have any
conversations about this?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
None one thing, and maybe it's a thousand percent anecdotal,
but one thing I have observed just perusing social media
is that Trump supporters tend to focus on the candidate
that Harris and policy, not one hundred percent, but generally speaking,
(18:05):
I have seen so many times, and this whole garbage
thing is a good example, so many times where Harris
supporters will obviously attack Trump and his policies and even
policies that aren't his, but they will also attack and
impune and denigrate the integrity and the motive and the
(18:26):
motivations of Trump supporters. And what they're doing is they're
you know, I think it's the I think they're attempting
to shame Trump supporters into not voting for him. And
and it's almost like if you are going to support him,
you are part of the problem. And it's because of
you know, you Trump supporters who are just you know,
(18:49):
trying to make a living and raise their family and
whatever else. It's because of you.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Well, that's why they exups for you, they de bank you,
they cut you out of social circles. It's because it's
not just the person you're voting for. The problem is
also you, so you therefore must be removed from society too.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
But it's you know who, It's like Keith Olberman, and
it's just really nasty condemnation, you know, condemning and just
really nasty stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, and this is how you end up with assassination
attempts because they make it like if you get rid
of these people completely, then will be safe. I mean
they not only attack Donald Trump, but they attack so
many of the supporters that the vitriol I mean even
people getting on a plane, the reports of somebody who
had a Maga hat on a plane, and the people
(19:42):
that go absolutely bananas. But it's like when you say triggered,
it's not even a joke. I know, people that get
nervous about going out with anything that is Republican on
because they're just going to be viciously attacked. It's like
that I sent you guys that can media, and the
other day it's like, you know, I gotta love MAGA
(20:03):
supporters because you know they made a choice when they
put that on in the morning, you know, because you
know you're walking into a firestorm because they have painted
us in such a horrible light and they think they're
winning on it. But you've got Elon Musk who was like,
you know what, this is not the country of censorship
(20:25):
or silencing, and that to your point, Kyle, that's what Sarah.
They're desperate to take away any any knowledge that there
was a country that had freedom and there was a
country where you could say this stuff. But it's so
so bigly backfiring on them because I look at these
numbers and I'm like, I mean, even the coverage, it's like,
(20:49):
you know, something like it's eighty percent positive for Harris
and eighty five percent negative for Trump. That is how
slanted the media is today, and yet the polling has
them neck and neck. So people have stopped believing in
the media. Therefore they have also stopped believing in the
(21:10):
Democrat candidate. Because the Democrat candidate. Their communication arm is
the media and she has nothing else going for because
nobody really believes that Kamala Harris has any deep feelings
about how to run the country because she can't express them.
And so if she can't come out to you and say, well,
these are the policies I'm running on. And honestly, we're
(21:31):
at a JD Vance event the other night in ground
Rapids and that's exactly what he said. He said, you know,
I will go after Kamala Harris and Tim Walls and
their policies every single day, but I would never go
after their supporters. But they go after the American people.
He said, that is not what this race is about.
This race is about our team going after their team
(21:53):
and what they've done. But they're going after the absolutely
core people in this country. Is shocking.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I think that's why people liked in some ways the
JD Vance Tim Walls debates so much more because it
genuinely was a policy debate. They weren't attacking each other
for personal pettiness. They genuinely were going after policy. But
I want to go back to what you said on
Elon Musk because I think right now, all of these
I mean, it's mostly the left wing media is talking
(22:20):
about how Twitter is just a giant cesspool of conservatives,
and for once, Elon Musk is letting misinformation run rampant.
But he actually released a stats yesterday that showed there's
actually more Democrats on Twitter or X whatever you want
to call it now than Republicans. And so for the
first time, maybe Republicans aren't being fully throttled with their
(22:40):
opinions on X, but there's more Democrats that use Twitter
than Republicans.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
But I think too, it's I think the way it's
set up is when you are consuming the information on there,
you're going to see more of that. So that's sort
of the way it's working, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, So there, before we go, I do want to
bring up one thing because I think that sorry, did
I cut you off? You'll like all shaken.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
The way you just responded like that was a very
stupid observation.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Fine say not being sensitive to you. Sorry, go ahead
and tell us no, I'm done.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I learned my lesson.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Go ahead, all right? So AnyWho I thought we would
before we end, I want to bring something up because
I just think this is incredibly important. It's not getting
any attention. So the Ford CEO has apparently been driving
around a Chinese car that he flew into the United States.
A Chinese EV, a Chinese EV. Let's take a quick
(23:46):
commercial break. We'll continue next on the Tutor Dixon podcast.
Any Chinese vehicle should not be here. This is exactly
what Donald Trump is campaigning on, like, We're not going
to let the Chinese car market come into the United
States and destroy our car market. And it will. And
there are people that are like, oh, you know, why,
(24:08):
why can't we just be globalist?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yay.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Obviously that's happening with Ford because he brought this car on.
But he didn't just bring the car in. He brought
the car and he said it's fantastic. He loves the car.
He was like openly ragging it. He's selling it essentially
on this interview that he did totally Yeah, he loves it. No,
he wants to drive that over his Ford right right?
I mean, and how insulting to us. We have paid
(24:32):
billions of taxpayer dollars from the State of Michigan to
Ford GMS, to Lantis, but Ford has taken money from us,
and for him to bring a Chinese EV in here
and then brag on it when we're trying desperately to
protect ourselves from China. I mean, when we went to
(24:53):
the JD van Savenk, I thought he was very smart
when someone asked him, would you allow the Chinese to
come in and buy farmland and everything? And he said,
in during World War Two, would we have allowed Germany
to come and put a buy up farmland around our
military basis? No way, and why should it be any
different today with what we see with China and what
we see with China's plans. We have to protect ourselves.
(25:16):
But there's always like a oh, how bad could it be?
You know, there's a bit of mystery around these things
when you project something and you say, hey, if this
comes here, we suspect that our car market will be closed. Well,
we don't have to wonder anymore because it was just
like three days after this broke about the Ford CEO,
that Volkswagen came out and said they're likely going to
(25:37):
close three factories in Germany and cut tens of thousands
of jobs, not hundreds of jobs, not thousands of jobs,
tens of thousands of jobs. This would be devastating to Volkswagen.
This means that Volkswagen will not sell Volkswagens in their
home country of Germany anymore. They would have to rely
(25:59):
on mostly a US market. And the reason they say
they're going down is because they cannot compete with the
Chinese evs that have come in. They are being shut
down by the Chinese car market that came into their
home country. You look no further than that. There is
(26:19):
no question what that means. That one hundred percent means
Michigan is in major danger. But all of it, all
of the United States that have any car manufacturing, which
I think there's probably people in almost every state that
have some things to contribute to the US car market.
But for a Michigan devastating to have Chinese cars come
(26:40):
here and to find out that the Ford CEO is
touting them and they have he made a partnership with
a Chinese company to come into the state of Michigan.
What is the future of our car market If we
import cars from China, We're dead.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
It's why Trump was very vocal about saying that if
because China was trying to build a plant in Mexico
right across the border, so that way, you know, it
falls under US m c A, and these cars can
be imported into America, and he said he would put
tariffs on those vehicles. And of course, you know a
(27:20):
lot of people are very unhappy about the Chinese vehicles
coming into America and what they would do, and so
he said he would put tariffs on them to keep
them out of the US market. That plant now, he
said at his rally in Traverse City that that plant
(27:41):
is no longer being built, which he took credit for.
But it's it's a major, it's a major. It just
seems like such a tone deaf thing to say for
the CEO of Ford to brag about driving a Chinese
EV and how wonderful it is. He called it fantastic,
(28:01):
and he can't imagine giving it up. What sort of
signal are you sending to shareholders, to auto workers, to
the taxpayers of Michigan who have given your company billions
and billions of dollars to not move, to not leave.
(28:22):
I just think it sends a terrible message. And the
fact that it has not gotten more reaction or coverage
in the media or response from politicians is stunning to me.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'm genuinely shocked that he at least some shareholders have
not called for him to resign. I mean, maybe people
feel like that's an overreaction, but I think people know
how damning this will be. I really think there are
so few people that understand manufacturing. There's so few people
that understand the dangers of China, and those two together
are a mystery to the average American. But I don't
(28:56):
understand how. And that's only because of the media, because
the reac is on so many levels.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
China is a danger. First of all, they want to
take over here. Secondly, imagine them having control over all
of our vehicles. They just all get shut down one day,
We're all trapped, We're all sitting ducks. This would be catastrophic,
And yet we're considering doing this. But also we've seeded
the market of rare earth minerals to them. We've allowed
(29:21):
them to just do this, and they do it in
a very polluting way. They do it in a very
environmentally dangerous way, but nobody wants to say anything because well,
at least it's not in the United States. And we
much rather pay China to pay, not even pay to
have slave labor digging up these minerals and then processing
this and you see, they are polluting their country, They're
(29:42):
polluting their groundwater, they are killing their people. They're all
ending up with cancer. They don't even care. They have
no value for life. The entire situation is so dangerous,
but that it's also putting our entire economy at risk.
I mean, you lose our automotive industry. We are in
such big trouble, but you lose it at the same
time as replacing all of our vehicles with Chinese vehicles
(30:04):
that they will have complete control over it. It's a
recipe for disaster. And I just I hope that the
American people understand that Kamala Harris hasn't even thought this through.
She has no idea, None of them do, none of
CEO hasn't even thought it through. I mean, how can
that be? But it seems that way because I can't
imagine that this is so nefarious that he would actually
(30:26):
do this.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I just I guess in my mind, if you're the
CEO of a company, you're supposed to be the chief
champion of whatever product you make, So here you are
going out there to all your employees and saying, actually,
what we make here is crap. I'd rather drive of
this Chinese car, and so it just it doesn't make
any sense to me that he's literally destroying the jobs
of the very people he's supposed to employ.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
And I think it's important to make a distinction that
he's not driving the Chinese EV to sort of see
how the competition is. He's dry, he admits in the
in the interview, he's driving it because he likes that
car better, and he loves that car and he doesn't
want to get rid of it.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah. Well, I think this is just the clear message
to the American people there is one team out there.
And I say team because that's what Zachary Levi said
on our podcast. He's like, I'm not voting for Trump.
I'm voting for the team that's around him. I'm voting
for the rfks and the Tulsa Gabbards and the JD
Vances and all the people that come alongside him. And
that is also some incredibly incredibly smart manufacturing minds who
(31:32):
are also nationally secured, national security minded, who will say,
we have got to make sure that we make progress,
but we make smart progress. And that's not what we're
hearing on the other side. Even when you talk about
renewable energies. It's so frustrating to me that they're like, oh,
we're setting a deadline. You can't just set an arbitrary
deadline when you don't actually have the security to get there.
(31:53):
You have got to as as voters. Voters have got
to have the conversation of like, how how would you
do this? And that's why the next few days are
so crucial. Folks go out there, talk to your friends,
and if you're in Michigan, you can use tenxvotes dot com.
There's a couple other states they were saying they're in
now too. Pennsylvania I think was one of them. But
(32:16):
go to tenex votes dot com. That'll show you who
of your friends is a low propensity voter. But you
can get them out there. You've got to talk about
these things. These are not radical issues. This is not
like divisive stuff. This is protecting American workers, protecting American jobs,
protecting our national security. Is so easy to have this
(32:37):
conversation because this isn't even something that you're going to
sit down at Thanksgiving and have somebody walk out. You're
going to have any true interesting conversation. But don't wait
until Thanksgiving. You've got to have it in the next
three days, so get people out to vote. Make sure
you tune in tomorrow we'll have another great episode for you.
But thank you so much for tuning in today to
