Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features guest host Tudor Dixon broadcasting from the WOOD Radio Studios in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This hour dives into critical political and cultural topics shaping America as we head into 2026. Tudor welcomes James Blair, former Trump 2024 campaign and RNC political director, for an in-depth discussion on the Republican midterm strategy, the impact of President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, and how GOP messaging on affordability and economic recovery is resonating with voters. Blair outlines key policy wins, including eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security, and previews upcoming proposals aimed at restoring prosperity after years of inflation under Democrat leadership. He emphasizes Trump’s role as the party’s leader and “get-out-the-vote machine,” highlighting his recent visits to battleground districts and the importance of contrasting Republican solutions with Democrat failures. The conversation then pivots to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s controversial interviews with mainstream media, raising questions about loyalty, political branding, and the future of the America First movement. Tudor and her co-hosts analyze Greene’s shift away from MAGA messaging and speculate on her motives amid growing rifts within the conservative base. Later, Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) joins to expose a massive fraud scandal in Minnesota, estimated between $9–$11 billion, spanning housing, Medicaid, childcare, and transportation programs under Governor Tim Walz. Stauber calls for accountability, detailing how whistleblowers were silenced and how the Trump administration is deploying federal agencies to investigate and prosecute those responsible. He warns about vulnerabilities in Minnesota’s election laws, including same-day registration and vouching practices, and criticizes policies granting benefits to illegal immigrants. Stauber underscores that Minnesotans—across party lines—are outraged and demand reform. The hour closes on an uplifting note, celebrating America’s Greatest Generation. Tudor shares her recent podcast interview with Irving Locker, a 101-year-old WWII veteran, and honors 104-year-old Staff Sergeant Dominick Critelli, who performed the national anthem at a New York Islanders game. These stories remind listeners of patriotism, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of American heroes.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to our three of the Clay, Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. I am Tutor Dixon from the Tutor
Dixon Podcast on the Clay and Buck podcast Network. I'm
filling in today from the Wood Radio Studios in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and I am so excited to welcome my next guest,
who I want to call a friend, but I also
don't want to damage his tough guy image, so I'm
(00:20):
not going to I'm just going to call him the
former Trump twenty twenty four campaign and RNC political director
James Blair. James, Welcome to the program, James, do we
have you.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, James, just so everybody knows, James actually worked with
me here in Michigan on my political campaign. He won
what I would say was an almost impossible race to
win here in the state of Michigan with a candidate
was unknown, So I really appreciate what he did for
me in the primary. We were we smoked the competition,
(01:00):
and it was incredible to have James on my team.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And now I know that James.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Is out there every day fighting to make sure that
we are on top of things with the midterms. So
I want to talk to him about that. We've got
him now, James, welcome to the program.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Thanks for having me, absolutely, so tell us what we
should be expecting.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We know that after Virginia and New Jersey and New York,
everybody was saying Democrats are going to take the midterms.
There's no question about it. Republicans are not focused on
the high cost of living. But I think that's changing.
Tell us your thoughts.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, well, first, of course that's not true. I mean
what's actually happened is the President and the Republicans have
spent the year making a lot of progress and cleaning
up the mess that Biden the Democrats left us. Remember,
they're the ones that gave us the record high prices
through record high inflation. The reason people's costs are up
and their wages were down prior to this year is
(01:59):
because of Democrat policy. So, first of all, they're the
ones that broke it, and President Trump and the Republicans
are fixing it. That started by doing the tax bill
this year, which brought all of the President and the
Republican campaign promises to fruition, no tax on tips, no
tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, and there's
many others that could go on, and people are going
to get those tax returns in April, they're going to
(02:21):
feel that money back in their pocket. Under Joe Biden,
the average American earner lost about three thousand dollars in
real take home and pay, and under President Trump and
the Republicans this year, that's back up thirteen hundred dollars.
So we have more work to do, but we're going in.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
The right direction.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
And what you're going to see as the President enters
the new year here, you're going to see him rolling
out new policy proposals, both things he can do executively
and things that Congress will need to act on to
continue that work to ultimately make people whole from what
Biden and the Democrats took from them and make them
better off economically than they ever were before. So that's
(02:58):
what this year is going to be all about. It
continue the work that we're doing.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Okay, I hear what you're saying, but I'm also seeing
some of these Democrat governors who are saying they're not
going to do the no tax on tips and the
no tax on overtime, and they're kind of like pushing
back on that. Is that going to be something that
Republicans in those states can use against them or is
that going to be something that is going to ultimately
affect the people on the ground and they if they're
(03:23):
not that aware of politics, they won't realize that they're
not getting what they should be getting.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, I mean I think that, you know, some people
may not realize it. I think it should be used
politically against every Democrat governor that's doing that. And what's
important is people are still going to get the federal
tax cuts, they're going to get the deduction that happens naturally.
But what the states are doing is they're saying, you're
not going to get that deduction off your state income taxes.
(03:48):
We still want to collect that extra tax money. So
people in blue states that have state income taxes should
have a bigger return because their income is going down
off which there's taxes are calculated. They're going down because
we cut their taxes. But Democrats are saying, no, no,
we're not going to let that happen. So you know,
it's obviously up to every candidate individually to highlight that.
(04:09):
I've personally highlighted that I've made that very clear. You
can go to my ex account where I'm talking about
the fact that Democrat governors are basically pocketing the tax
refunds that people are do. But irrespective of that, people
are still going to get major tax cuts. And I
think that as people adjust their withholding here in January,
they're going to see immediate boosts to their paychecks. And
(04:30):
again they're going to get all of last year because
these tax refunds, these these tax cuts were retroactive to
Januaruary twenty five, tutors, you know, so everybody who didn't
know that last year, they're going to get all of
that tax benefit up front here in April by the
time they file their taxes.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
That's what we're hearing.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
We're hearing people are going to get big money back
that they aren't expecting, and we expect that to be
something that Republicans will be able to highlight in the midterms.
But there is this historical trend of the midterm, it's
flipping to the other side. We've already got Nancy Pelosi,
we talked about nance earlier in the program. We've already
got her saying that the Democrats are going to win.
(05:06):
How do we buck that trend? How many seats do
we really see in play here.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Well, look, I think this is a I think the
map is constructed in a way. It's not like twenty seventeen.
First of all, we are in a much better position
than we were at the same time in twenty seventeen,
whether you look at the generic ballid average or anything
like that, I mean substantially better off. This is not
the same political environment as people are sort of comparing
to the House maps just the way they exist now.
(05:34):
I think it's going to be a narrow house majority
either way. I don't think you're going to see, you know,
major swings sort of one way or another. The question
is who controls it. The Republicans are in a very
offensive position. We absolutely have all the tools to win.
We have the map to win. We have to run
good campaigns, and we have to create clear contrasts with
the Democrats. And I think we have all the ingredients
(05:57):
to do that. But but you know that starts first
and foremost with educating the people on what we've done,
obviously tauting our accomplishments, but also telling them what we
are going to do next. I think that's incumbent on
the Republicans to go to the ballot box, saying, here
is how we are going to continue to make your
life more affordable. Here is how we are going to
(06:19):
restore affordability for the average working man and woman in America.
And as long as we do that, we will be successful.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
There's a fear that Donald Trump is unique, that Donald
Trump wins and Republicans need him. Susie Yles said, we're
going to put him on the ballot. What does that
look like.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That looks like the president traveling the country getting out
the vote. And obviously, you know he is our party leader.
He is the agenda setter, in the vision setter, and
that's what he is going to do, as I mentioned,
rolling out new policies throughout the year, but then obviously
just being a get out the vote machine where he's
traveling and he just went to a couple of target
districts just before Christmas. He went up and visited Rob
(07:00):
Bresnahan's district in Pennsylvania, and he also went down to
Don Davis's district that's the Democrat in North Carolina, one
that'll be targeted for flipping. So he's already started that
and you're going to see a lot of that throughout
the year, getting out the vote what he does best.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
So we hear he's like never sleeping. And I saw that.
I actually saw that right before Christmas. He's out campaigning. Essentially,
he's having rallies. He's telling the people what the United
States government is doing for them, which is so critical
because only he can do that. Only he has ever
figured that out. And he definitely does not have the
(07:36):
media on his side.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
But what is he really? Is it really true? I mean,
can this man possibly never sleep?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I mean, I think it's mostly true. Sometimes they we
wish he would sleep more so we could sleep more.
He works all the time. I mean, right now, a
bunch of us are down here in Florida with him,
and he's spending his day taking meetings, preparing for the
new year. There's no such thing as a big holiday
break for the president. He's down here, he has us
all working. I'm standing outside of his home here as
(08:06):
we as we speak to you, So, yep, I can
affirmatively say he's not sleeping, He's just working.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Most importantly, do you miss the weather in Michigan.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
This time of year? No? But I love the summer
weather up there.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It is, It is beautiful up here in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Okay, so we do see him taking these meetings, we
see him doing great things. There has been there have
been some people that have said, oh, these meetings are
meetings that are international meetings. We want to see these
good things happening back at home. We had the Secretary
of Commerce, Howard Lutnick on at the beginning of the program,
and he was talking about we are going to see
(08:44):
lower prices on energy costs, on electricity in people's houses.
Is that something that you expect to see before we
actually have people going to the polls?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well, first of all, gas prices have come down a ton.
We see that, and we are trying to do things
to lower you costs. I mean you mentioned, is that
something we're going to see? Yes, I think the answer
is in some areas, yes, I mean right now. So
there's a natural gas pipeline that the Democrats in the
northeast and primarily the governor of New York, have been
blocking for a number of years. This pipeline project could
(09:16):
be done in six to nine months, and if they
would just get out of the way, if they would
get out of their crazy environmentalist thing and just allow
us to build a pipeline which would use would like
clean natural gas flow, the average Northeasterners home utility bill
would go down almost three thousand dollars a year. These
are solvable problems, but sometimes they're not totally with our
(09:37):
within our control. In this case, the Democrats in New
York have to get out of the way, and we're
hopeful that we will ultimately bring that to a good conclusion.
So there's stuff like that everywhere that that we will
be highlighting. But then at the macro level, I think
you will see some utility prices come down. And on
the trade deals, it's important you talk about the international engagement.
And the President says this too, as the president, folks,
(10:00):
this is what would appear sometimes to be things abroad.
But these trade deals, they are good for our domestic economics.
Right now, the deficit is coming down because of the tariffs.
It's down I think forty percent year over year from
the same period last year. And what that does is
that drives down interest rates. That makes it more affordable
for people to borrow money to buy a home, to
(10:21):
buy a car. So we're bringing that money back. We
just use some of that money to give relief to
our farmers who have had a rough season here all
across the country. So the international things the President's doing
is ultimately to help people here domestically, and I think
that's a really important point to highlight and drive home.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Well, it sounds like the map a set.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
We appreciate the fact that you came on today to
talk about the midterms. It is so important for everybody
out there listening that we continue the president's agenda. I
know they want to hear that that's going well. So
I appreciate you coming on. It is James Blair again.
He is the former Trump twenty two twenty four campaign
and RNC political director, and we look forward to seeing
(11:05):
more great things coming out of this administration in twenty
twenty six. Thank you for coming on.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Today, Thanks for having me absolutely and for everybody else.
Stick around.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We are taking a deep dive into the betrayal of
Marjorie Taylor Green. Next she tells this all these things
in the New York Times magazine. How does Marjorie Taylor
Green go into the New York Times magazine?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Stick around?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
We're going to get into it all right after this.
Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Adrians Radio hosts a couple of regular guys Clay Travis
and Buck Sex to them.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I understand where he's coming from.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But she tells she texts the New York Times writer,
Marjorie Taylor Green texts the New York Times writer, I mean,
this is like texting the enemy, in my opinion, And.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
She texts that was the absolute worst statement.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It just shows where his heart is and the difference
between her Erica meaning Erica having sincere Christian faith and
proves that he does not have any faith.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
How do you say, how do you say you are
being more christ Like?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And then you comment on whether or not you think
someone else has Christian faith?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Right, and to someone who works for a newspaper that
will do anything to destroy Donald Trump. And that's what
is so bizarre in this whole situation with Marjorie Taylor
Green is for years now that she has been in office,
the media has hated Marjorie Taylor Green because she was
(12:45):
I would say, you know, maybe in the Congress, she
was the number one Trump supporter. Remember when he was
on trial in New York. She went to New York
and stood on the sidewalk outside the courthouse rallying support
for him. Yes, and they and the media hates Marjorie
Taylor Green, at least they.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Used to also.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
She was also one of those ones that would yell
out and remember she yelled out of the State of
the Union and so.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
And they just hated her for it, Yes, exactly. But
who do they hate more? Donald Trump? And she became
she only became fashionable recently because they could use her
against him.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yep, right, No, just just as soon as she said
she was resigning. Then she's like on the View and
she's talking to the New York Times, and she's on CNN,
and what is the endgame here? And she keeps very interestingly,
she keeps pointing out that she believes she is America first.
She doesn't talk about MAGA. She used to always talk
(13:47):
about MAGA. Now she's like, you know what, I want
to be America First. She's attacking the president on you
know what we just talked to James about, which is
so critical having these meetings with these international leaders to
make sure not only that the United States has good
trade deals but also the security of the United States,
to make sure we know what's happening in other countries
(14:10):
with these terror organizations, and that we have good insights
into whether or not we are going to be attacked.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But she doesn't want any of that.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
She says, it's got to be America first, America only.
But I really believe, and I've been told this by
people which I don't know. It's like there's a toss
up right now. Is she looking for a spot on
the view or is she looking to run for president?
Speaker 7 (14:34):
And that's what is so bizarre, and so she here,
she is, she's you know, covorting with the New York Times.
She is posting pictures with code pink, which think about
code pink for a second. Is there an organization that
hates Donald Trump more than well, maybe the CCP, but
they're connected to the CCP, so they're sort of one
(14:56):
and the same. But these organizations they're using Marjorie Taylor
Green because because what they try to do is, and
we see this on cable news all the time, what
they try to do is they find someone who is
a loyalist or who used to or maybe I should
say an ally, and then they turned them and it's
like proof that you know, Trump is bad, But like
(15:19):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
The last person I would think would be that week.
I mean, really, I believed her stick.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
That's that's what's so bizarre. And she's from I believe
it's the most conservative district in Georgia. And I think,
what a lot of people find objectionable. And we saw
these photos of her in the last couple of days
on the beach wherever she was, and she's checked out,
and here she is, she's still on the US taxpayer
(15:45):
dime and she's checked out. And I think what a
lot of people found objectionable about her quitting because she
could have just announced I'm giving up, i don't want
to do this anymore. I'm not running for reelection, and
so she would complete her term. But she didn't do that.
She's actually quitting, and then that forces it creates a vacancy,
(16:06):
which then makes the Republican majority in the House one
seat smaller one and that's one more vote they can't
give up. And so it's creating a very unfortunate situation
for President Trump and his agenda.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I know there's been this discussion of kind of like
this rift in Maga, and I don't these influencers, they
don't bother me that much because I know that they're
they're not Congressman, They're not there for the people. They're
getting paid by the tax payers. They change their opinion
with whoever is sponsoring their podcast, So I don't care
so much about what they're doing. But I think this
(16:43):
is a true betrayal. And to wait until she gets
her pension, I just think it's sick. Everyone. This is
Tutor Dixon. I'm guest hosting for Clay and Buck today.
Thank you so much for sticking around. Stay tuned because
we've got Congressman he Stobber after this from minnesot We
want to hear all about the fraud there.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Stay tuned, we'll be right back.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front Lines of Truth.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I am Tutor Dixon.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I'm guest hosting today from the Wood Radio Studios in
Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I just want to say we
have some.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Sad breaking news to bring to you.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Tatiana Schlossberg, JFK's granddaughter has died. This comes one month
after she announced her terminal leukemia diagnosis, and I have
to say as a cancer survivor myself and someone who
just lost my dad to cancer a few years ago,
I can say this cancer is really horrible and we
are just so sad about this, and we do pray
(17:57):
for the family. I want to bring in a congressman
now who is here to talk about what is going
on in this country, mostly in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Congressman Pete Stosberg. Sorry,
congress Minnesota Congressman Pete Stauber. We have him here to
(18:17):
talk about what's going on in Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Congressman. Thank you so much for joining me.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Well, thank you, Tutor. It's great to be with you,
and Happy New Year.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Happy New Year to you. So what is happening?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I mean, we have been talking about Minneapolis all day,
but you are there, You're in Minnesota, this is your
home state.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
When you see this stuff, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Well, first off, I'm coming to you from northern Minnesota, Tutor,
and I'm wearing my Stormy Cromer hat made in Ironwood, Michigan.
It's snowing up here as beautiful. But let's talk about
the subject of the fraud in Minnesota and particularly in
the Twin Cities area. It is Minnesota, are literally outraged.
(19:02):
That's what happening with the fraud. It looks like it's
going to be between nine and eleven billion. It goes
from the housing fraud to medicaid fraud, to medical transportation fraud,
to housing fraud, medicaid fraud, Kyle Care fraud, and the
list goes on and on under Governor Walls. And I'm
(19:24):
very happy that the Trump administration is putting all their
efforts into making sure that fraud that was perpetrated upon
Minnesotans and the American taxpayer there will be people held accountable.
I'm confident of that. And we're going to root out
the waste, fraud and abuse in Minnesota under our derelict
(19:44):
Governor Kim Walls.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Okay, so we've got Congressman Pete Stauber with us. He
is wearing his stormy chromer hat. Kyle Olsen is in
the studio with us. He also brought his stormy chromer
hat today. So I just want to say that Congress
which has the Upper Peninsula on it, So we appreciate,
we appreciate you calling out a good Michigan company there.
But I do want to ask you about the governor
(20:08):
because we all of us are going, Oh, my goodness,
this guy was running to be the vice president of
the United States.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Should he be held accountable? Should he resign?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Tud He's going to be held accountable. I want your
listeners to understand Tim Walls had a cover over him
with the Minneapolis to Twin Cities media. They didn't We
knew when Kamala Harris chose him. We knew that the
national media was going to expose him for the fraud
he is and they certainly did that, and the American
(20:44):
people spoke. And what I will tell you that I
believe that when the administration gets done with their investigations,
you are going to see people being held accountable, and
that includes our governor. I can't imagine that our governor
didn't know about this, because when there were whistleblowers even
(21:05):
several years ago, his administration threatened them and bullied them
into being quiet. It has been exposed, and I think
there's eleven federal agencies on the ground in Minnesota making
sure that they're going to root out the fraud and
hold the people accountable. And the person I believe most
(21:27):
culpable is our governor. I believe that he knew what
was going on, but he turned a blind eye because
it was a voting block for him and his Democrats.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
So talk a little bit because that was going to
be my question is why did he do that? So
talk a little bit more about sort of the political
dynamics within the state.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Well, there's over one hundred thousand Smolians living in Minneapolis,
and so that's a voting block that the Democrat party
needs if they're going to win statewide offices. And it's
my opinion and I believe that the investigations will show
that he was complicit. He knew this was happening, but
turned a blind eye to hold on the power for
(22:12):
he and other Democrats in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
It's interesting that you say that because as Nick Shirley
was kind of digging into the Daycares and digging into
the Medicare fraud and all of that, Scott Presler, who
was on the sideline saying, I want to look into
what exactly is going on with elections and how that's working.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We've seen this now in.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Multiple states across the country different years. But in two
thousand and eight Scott put this out and we've confirmed.
In two thousand and eight, Democrat Senator al Frankin won
his election by three hundred and twelve votes, but that
year they added five hundred and forty two thousand voters
(22:56):
by same day registration is come.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
On, tutor. In Minnesota, one individual can vouch for eight
other individuals to say, you know, during election, the day
of election, you can vouch for them, that they're there,
they can legally vote. So you have one individual taking
eight people vouching for them. And we know that we
(23:21):
know that we want our we want our elections to
be safe and secure. And under the Democrat trifecta in Minnesota,
under Walls's watch, they gave and I'm talking about the
Democrat legislature and the governor gave illegals free health care,
free driver's license, and free college. Uh. And it's just
(23:44):
it's it's outrageous.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
So to me, this is just bananas when you think
about it. So what you're saying is that you can
show up on election day to a polling place with
eight friends and if you are a legal if you
are a legal Minnesota resident, you can say, hey, trust me,
these guys are good.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
You should let them vote today.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
That's exactly right, that's exactly the laws within the state
of Minnesota, and it was brought to us by the
Democrat legislature.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
That is insane. So we've got Congressman Pete Stabber with
us talking about this. This is what is happening. How
do you I mean, you're in northern Minnesota, so to me,
you're still in a safe place. But how do you
ever get a Republican governor again if this is the case,
and why would Tim Walls let anybody hold him accountable?
(24:37):
They're just going to continue to elect the people that
they want.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
So for Tutor, I want you and your listeners to
understand this, Governor Wall. This was brought to Governor Walls
and his administration. The whistleblowers came between five and six
years ago. Again, they threatened them, bully them, and you know,
tried to shut them up. And now Walls is saying
that those of us who want to hold the fraudsters
(25:05):
accountable are racist. Yes, he is called Minnesotan's racists who
want to root out this fraud. And I will tell
you that that is not working. And and this is
it used to.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It used to, but I think people have caught on.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
They're not there. That's that's what people use to try
to scary off. No, we want fraud to end. No
matter who doesn't, fraud must end. We're going to go
after them. And the Trump administration is putting all efforts
into stopping the fraud in Minnesota under Tim Wallas's watch,
and uh, I mean Tudor. We have we have childcare
(25:43):
deserts up in northern Minnesota where we need childcare. And
then we look down in the Twin Cities and there's
hundreds of millions of dollars going out to childcare centers
that don't even have one child in them.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend taking kids there.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
See this unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
So is is the only hope that Trump administration or
are their agencies or I know the Attorney general in
Minnesota is not going to do anything. So it is
the only hope that Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah, the Attorney general, Keith Elison in Minnesota is a disaster.
Our governor is a disaster. We need the state of
Minnesota needs to be saved. And the Trump administration and
their investigators are are We want them to do a
thorough job. We believe there's going to be subpoenas and
search warrants and court cases going on. We have to
(26:36):
solve this because Minnesotans deserved better. And by the way,
this isn't just a Republican or Democrat issue, this is
a This is an entire Minnesota issue. And I can
talk to people across the political spectrum that are fed
up with this. Even my Democrat friends are embarrassed and
ashamed that this happened under their trifecta trifecta and their WAK.
(27:00):
There was no accountability, there was no safeguards in place.
And for your listeners, between nine and eleven billion dollars,
that's what the US Attorney believes. Half of that eighteen
billion dollar surface that we had just a couple of
years ago now is into a six billion dollar tax
increase for Minnesotan's.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
If you are watching these reports that are coming out,
I mean some of these centers that have clearly not
had kids there. They're closed, They're never open. People go
there at all hours of the day. They're not open.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Some of them have gotten over the last since I
think twenty nineteen, ten million dollars.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Oh and tutor that the million dollars is probably the
lowest amount that was given out. Remember Nick Shirley, Remember
that the Leering Center Eli Yeah yeah, Ryang not learning
but liaring center was brought in millions of dollars a year.
Not one person was there. So we have to as Minnesotans,
(28:03):
we have to admit there has been uh, there has
been damage. We're going to correct it. And I can
tell you the Republicans in Minnesota. Thank god that the
Republicans took the House of Representatives in Minnesota, because had
they not, this would have continued. It had been it
would have been shoved under the rug. Again. The Twin
Cities media, the Minneapolis Star and Tribune has some information
(28:29):
like on the third, fourth and fifth pages there's still
not a major article written on Walls's fraud here in
Minnesota and in our state's biggest newspaper. That's the cover
up that they're there. They've been trying to uh put
forth on Minnesotan's it's all in the open now. And
again President Trump and his administration they're they're they're not waiting.
(28:53):
They're coming in to help Minnesotan's, help the tax payers,
and change the direction of of our state. We are
a great state with wonderful people, and we do not
deserve this and I'm glad that the Trump administration and
the secretaries are coming in to do their investigations and
(29:14):
to stop the fraud.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Congressman Pete Stabber, thank you so much for coming on
and talking about this and exposing it.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
We really appreciate having you today.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Thank you, Tutor absolutely.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
And as you're listening to this, just so you know,
when he says the Children's Leering Center, that's how little
oversight there was. This learning was spelled wrong, no end
on the outside of the building, and they are still
giving these folks money. It's insane. Hey, this is Tutor Dixon.
I am guest hosting for Clay and Buck today. Stick around,
We've got something special for you for the end of
(29:46):
the show.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
We will be right.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Back saving America one thought at a time and Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your pipe.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yes, Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
I'm Tutor Dixon from the Tutor Dixon Podcast and I've
got Kyle Olsen with me from the Midwesterner Dot News.
We are coming to you live from the Wood Radio
Studios here in Grand Rapids. Michigan and I have loved
(30:21):
hosting today and I'm so excited about what we want
to share with you. Okay, So on my podcast yesterday,
I had the pleasure of having one hundred and one
year old World War Two veteran to discuss everything. He
stormed the beaches of Normandy. He was at the Battle
of the Bulge. He talked about the emotions, he talked
about the.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
War in general.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
It was just like, this guy is one hundred and
one years old, and yet he's talking to me clear
as day. This generation never ceases to amaze me. But
then I see Dominic critic. I think it's Critelli, who
recently played the national anthem on his saxophone at the
New Islanders game and then the New York Islanders game,
(31:03):
and I'm like, wait a minute, this guy blows the
other guy away a little bit. Irving Locker is amazing,
But this guy's one hundred and four. So listen to
this clip. It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Here to perform.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I wear a national lanpode. Please welcome one.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
And four year old World War Two Army veteran staff
Sergeant Dominic Purtellian.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Isn't that beautiful? Don't you think that's beautiful.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Yeah, and he held that note. It was great.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
No, I know, because you know you're that age. I
try to get my kids to stay in band. So
my little one, I have a very tiny twelve year
old who played the saxophone, and she was kind of
like the sister in the Simpsons. What was the sister's names, Lisa,
that's right, So she was a little bit like Lisa,
but she did not stick with it. I wanted her too,
(32:11):
she did not. But I think that that was incredible
listening to him play.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
Yeah and everyone chanted USA, and it was a great moment.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
It's really impressive to see this generation, the greatest generation,
still out there and they are so eager to talk.
And that's what I loved about my conversation with Ir
Locker on the podcast was that he was so eager
to talk about his experiences in the war.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
We don't really get to.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Hear that very often from people who actually fought in
World War Two.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
To go into detail, he had emotional moments.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I mean, here he is one hundred and one years old,
many years away from World War Two, and he still
talked to me about it like it was yesterday. The
emotions that he felt when he saw the people in
the camps when they liberated the camp's very unique experience
Irving had because he spoke Yiddish, so he was able
to communicate with the people who had been in the camp.
They used him for that communication. I love the fact
(33:05):
that this generation is still out there and when you
see these guys they look frail, you think about what
they did.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Your grandfather was there.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Yeah, he would have turned one hundred in twenty twenty five,
and but we we did a family trip to Poland
this earlier this year to see he was a pow
and we were able to see where he was in
the camp and everything. But we have so much to
learn from that generation.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
We have so much to learn.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
That's why we have to keep talking to them for
as long as they are still here. They are an
amazing generation. But everybody, I just want to say, it's
been such a pleasure hosting this show today. Thank you
Kyle Olsen for joining me. As you know, I am
Tutor Dixon. You can check out the Tutor Dixon podcast
on the Clay and Buck podcast network. It's on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
(33:51):
You can watch it on Rumble or YouTube. Definitely check
out Irving Locker because he was awesome. And I just
want to say I want you all to have an
happy New Year.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
Mary.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I just heard people talking this morning. Do we say
Mary New Year, Merry Christmas or Happy New Year? So
we're saying Mary New Year. That's what we're going to say.
Thank you so much for letting me be a part
of your day. Follow us on social media and we'll
see you next time.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Have a great day.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Slay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front line of truth.
Welcome back to our three of the Clay, Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. I am Tutor Dixon from the Tutor
Dixon Podcast on the Clay and Buck podcast Network. I'm
filling in today from the Wood Radio Studios in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and I am so excited to welcome my next guest,
who I want to call a friend, but I also
don't want to damage his tough guy image, so I'm
(00:20):
not going to I'm just going to call him the
former Trump twenty twenty four campaign and RNC political director
James Blair. James, Welcome to the program, James, do we
have you.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, James, just so everybody knows, James actually worked with
me here in Michigan on my political campaign. He won
what I would say was an almost impossible race to
win here in the state of Michigan with a candidate
was unknown, So I really appreciate what he did for
me in the primary. We were we smoked the competition,
(01:00):
and it was incredible to have James on my team.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And now I know that James.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Is out there every day fighting to make sure that
we are on top of things with the midterms. So
I want to talk to him about that. We've got
him now, James, welcome to the program.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Thanks for having me, absolutely, so tell us what we
should be expecting.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We know that after Virginia and New Jersey and New York,
everybody was saying Democrats are going to take the midterms.
There's no question about it. Republicans are not focused on
the high cost of living. But I think that's changing.
Tell us your thoughts.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, well, first, of course that's not true. I mean
what's actually happened is the President and the Republicans have
spent the year making a lot of progress and cleaning
up the mess that Biden the Democrats left us. Remember,
they're the ones that gave us the record high prices
through record high inflation. The reason people's costs are up
and their wages were down prior to this year is
(01:59):
because of Democrat policy. So, first of all, they're the
ones that broke it, and President Trump and the Republicans
are fixing it. That started by doing the tax bill
this year, which brought all of the President and the
Republican campaign promises to fruition, no tax on tips, no
tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, and there's
many others that could go on, and people are going
to get those tax returns in April, they're going to
(02:21):
feel that money back in their pocket. Under Joe Biden,
the average American earner lost about three thousand dollars in
real take home and pay, and under President Trump and
the Republicans this year, that's back up thirteen hundred dollars.
So we have more work to do, but we're going in.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
The right direction.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
And what you're going to see as the President enters
the new year here, you're going to see him rolling
out new policy proposals, both things he can do executively
and things that Congress will need to act on to
continue that work to ultimately make people whole from what
Biden and the Democrats took from them and make them
better off economically than they ever were before. So that's
(02:58):
what this year is going to be all about. It
continue the work that we're doing.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Okay, I hear what you're saying, but I'm also seeing
some of these Democrat governors who are saying they're not
going to do the no tax on tips and the
no tax on overtime, and they're kind of like pushing
back on that. Is that going to be something that
Republicans in those states can use against them or is
that going to be something that is going to ultimately
affect the people on the ground and they if they're
(03:23):
not that aware of politics, they won't realize that they're
not getting what they should be getting.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, I mean I think that, you know, some people
may not realize it. I think it should be used
politically against every Democrat governor that's doing that. And what's
important is people are still going to get the federal
tax cuts, they're going to get the deduction that happens naturally.
But what the states are doing is they're saying, you're
not going to get that deduction off your state income taxes.
(03:48):
We still want to collect that extra tax money. So
people in blue states that have state income taxes should
have a bigger return because their income is going down
off which there's taxes are calculated. They're going down because
we cut their taxes. But Democrats are saying, no, no,
we're not going to let that happen. So you know,
it's obviously up to every candidate individually to highlight that.
(04:09):
I've personally highlighted that I've made that very clear. You
can go to my ex account where I'm talking about
the fact that Democrat governors are basically pocketing the tax
refunds that people are do. But irrespective of that, people
are still going to get major tax cuts. And I
think that as people adjust their withholding here in January,
they're going to see immediate boosts to their paychecks. And
(04:30):
again they're going to get all of last year because
these tax refunds, these these tax cuts were retroactive to
Januaruary twenty five, tutors, you know, so everybody who didn't
know that last year, they're going to get all of
that tax benefit up front here in April by the
time they file their taxes.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
That's what we're hearing.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
We're hearing people are going to get big money back
that they aren't expecting, and we expect that to be
something that Republicans will be able to highlight in the midterms.
But there is this historical trend of the midterm, it's
flipping to the other side. We've already got Nancy Pelosi,
we talked about nance earlier in the program. We've already
got her saying that the Democrats are going to win.
(05:06):
How do we buck that trend? How many seats do
we really see in play here.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Well, look, I think this is a I think the
map is constructed in a way. It's not like twenty seventeen.
First of all, we are in a much better position
than we were at the same time in twenty seventeen,
whether you look at the generic ballid average or anything
like that, I mean substantially better off. This is not
the same political environment as people are sort of comparing
to the House maps just the way they exist now.
(05:34):
I think it's going to be a narrow house majority
either way. I don't think you're going to see, you know,
major swings sort of one way or another. The question
is who controls it. The Republicans are in a very
offensive position. We absolutely have all the tools to win.
We have the map to win. We have to run
good campaigns, and we have to create clear contrasts with
the Democrats. And I think we have all the ingredients
(05:57):
to do that. But but you know that starts first
and foremost with educating the people on what we've done,
obviously tauting our accomplishments, but also telling them what we
are going to do next. I think that's incumbent on
the Republicans to go to the ballot box, saying, here
is how we are going to continue to make your
life more affordable. Here is how we are going to
(06:19):
restore affordability for the average working man and woman in America.
And as long as we do that, we will be successful.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
There's a fear that Donald Trump is unique, that Donald
Trump wins and Republicans need him. Susie Yles said, we're
going to put him on the ballot. What does that
look like.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That looks like the president traveling the country getting out
the vote. And obviously, you know he is our party leader.
He is the agenda setter, in the vision setter, and
that's what he is going to do, as I mentioned,
rolling out new policies throughout the year, but then obviously
just being a get out the vote machine where he's
traveling and he just went to a couple of target
districts just before Christmas. He went up and visited Rob
(07:00):
Bresnahan's district in Pennsylvania, and he also went down to
Don Davis's district that's the Democrat in North Carolina, one
that'll be targeted for flipping. So he's already started that
and you're going to see a lot of that throughout
the year, getting out the vote what he does best.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
So we hear he's like never sleeping. And I saw that.
I actually saw that right before Christmas. He's out campaigning. Essentially,
he's having rallies. He's telling the people what the United
States government is doing for them, which is so critical
because only he can do that. Only he has ever
figured that out. And he definitely does not have the
(07:36):
media on his side.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
But what is he really? Is it really true? I mean,
can this man possibly never sleep?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I mean, I think it's mostly true. Sometimes they we
wish he would sleep more so we could sleep more.
He works all the time. I mean, right now, a
bunch of us are down here in Florida with him,
and he's spending his day taking meetings, preparing for the
new year. There's no such thing as a big holiday
break for the president. He's down here, he has us
all working. I'm standing outside of his home here as
(08:06):
we as we speak to you, So, yep, I can
affirmatively say he's not sleeping, He's just working.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Most importantly, do you miss the weather in Michigan.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
This time of year? No? But I love the summer
weather up there.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It is, It is beautiful up here in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Okay, so we do see him taking these meetings, we
see him doing great things. There has been there have
been some people that have said, oh, these meetings are
meetings that are international meetings. We want to see these
good things happening back at home. We had the Secretary
of Commerce, Howard Lutnick on at the beginning of the program,
and he was talking about we are going to see
(08:44):
lower prices on energy costs, on electricity in people's houses.
Is that something that you expect to see before we
actually have people going to the polls?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well, first of all, gas prices have come down a ton.
We see that, and we are trying to do things
to lower you costs. I mean you mentioned, is that
something we're going to see? Yes, I think the answer
is in some areas, yes, I mean right now. So
there's a natural gas pipeline that the Democrats in the
northeast and primarily the governor of New York, have been
blocking for a number of years. This pipeline project could
(09:16):
be done in six to nine months, and if they
would just get out of the way, if they would
get out of their crazy environmentalist thing and just allow
us to build a pipeline which would use would like
clean natural gas flow, the average Northeasterners home utility bill
would go down almost three thousand dollars a year. These
are solvable problems, but sometimes they're not totally with our
(09:37):
within our control. In this case, the Democrats in New
York have to get out of the way, and we're
hopeful that we will ultimately bring that to a good conclusion.
So there's stuff like that everywhere that that we will
be highlighting. But then at the macro level, I think
you will see some utility prices come down. And on
the trade deals, it's important you talk about the international engagement.
And the President says this too, as the president, folks,
(10:00):
this is what would appear sometimes to be things abroad.
But these trade deals, they are good for our domestic economics.
Right now, the deficit is coming down because of the tariffs.
It's down I think forty percent year over year from
the same period last year. And what that does is
that drives down interest rates. That makes it more affordable
for people to borrow money to buy a home, to
(10:21):
buy a car. So we're bringing that money back. We
just use some of that money to give relief to
our farmers who have had a rough season here all
across the country. So the international things the President's doing
is ultimately to help people here domestically, and I think
that's a really important point to highlight and drive home.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Well, it sounds like the map a set.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
We appreciate the fact that you came on today to
talk about the midterms. It is so important for everybody
out there listening that we continue the president's agenda. I
know they want to hear that that's going well. So
I appreciate you coming on. It is James Blair again.
He is the former Trump twenty two twenty four campaign
and RNC political director, and we look forward to seeing
(11:05):
more great things coming out of this administration in twenty
twenty six. Thank you for coming on.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Today, Thanks for having me absolutely and for everybody else.
Stick around.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We are taking a deep dive into the betrayal of
Marjorie Taylor Green. Next she tells this all these things
in the New York Times magazine. How does Marjorie Taylor
Green go into the New York Times magazine?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Stick around?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
We're going to get into it all right after this.
Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Adrians Radio hosts a couple of regular guys Clay Travis
and Buck Sex to them.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I understand where he's coming from.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But she tells she texts the New York Times writer,
Marjorie Taylor Green texts the New York Times writer, I mean,
this is like texting the enemy, in my opinion, And.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
She texts that was the absolute worst statement.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It just shows where his heart is and the difference
between her Erica meaning Erica having sincere Christian faith and
proves that he does not have any faith.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
How do you say, how do you say you are
being more christ Like?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And then you comment on whether or not you think
someone else has Christian faith?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Right, and to someone who works for a newspaper that
will do anything to destroy Donald Trump. And that's what
is so bizarre in this whole situation with Marjorie Taylor
Green is for years now that she has been in office,
the media has hated Marjorie Taylor Green because she was
(12:45):
I would say, you know, maybe in the Congress, she
was the number one Trump supporter. Remember when he was
on trial in New York. She went to New York
and stood on the sidewalk outside the courthouse rallying support
for him. Yes, and they and the media hates Marjorie
Taylor Green, at least they.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Used to also.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
She was also one of those ones that would yell
out and remember she yelled out of the State of
the Union and so.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
And they just hated her for it, Yes, exactly. But
who do they hate more? Donald Trump? And she became
she only became fashionable recently because they could use her
against him.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yep, right, No, just just as soon as she said
she was resigning. Then she's like on the View and
she's talking to the New York Times, and she's on CNN,
and what is the endgame here? And she keeps very interestingly,
she keeps pointing out that she believes she is America first.
She doesn't talk about MAGA. She used to always talk
(13:47):
about MAGA. Now she's like, you know what, I want
to be America First. She's attacking the president on you
know what we just talked to James about, which is
so critical having these meetings with these international leaders to
make sure not only that the United States has good
trade deals but also the security of the United States,
to make sure we know what's happening in other countries
(14:10):
with these terror organizations, and that we have good insights
into whether or not we are going to be attacked.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But she doesn't want any of that.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
She says, it's got to be America first, America only.
But I really believe, and I've been told this by
people which I don't know. It's like there's a toss
up right now. Is she looking for a spot on
the view or is she looking to run for president?
Speaker 7 (14:34):
And that's what is so bizarre, and so she here,
she is, she's you know, covorting with the New York Times.
She is posting pictures with code pink, which think about
code pink for a second. Is there an organization that
hates Donald Trump more than well, maybe the CCP, but
they're connected to the CCP, so they're sort of one
(14:56):
and the same. But these organizations they're using Marjorie Taylor
Green because because what they try to do is, and
we see this on cable news all the time, what
they try to do is they find someone who is
a loyalist or who used to or maybe I should
say an ally, and then they turned them and it's
like proof that you know, Trump is bad, But like
(15:19):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
The last person I would think would be that week.
I mean, really, I believed her stick.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
That's that's what's so bizarre. And she's from I believe
it's the most conservative district in Georgia. And I think,
what a lot of people find objectionable. And we saw
these photos of her in the last couple of days
on the beach wherever she was, and she's checked out,
and here she is, she's still on the US taxpayer
(15:45):
dime and she's checked out. And I think what a
lot of people found objectionable about her quitting because she
could have just announced I'm giving up, i don't want
to do this anymore. I'm not running for reelection, and
so she would complete her term. But she didn't do that.
She's actually quitting, and then that forces it creates a vacancy,
(16:06):
which then makes the Republican majority in the House one
seat smaller one and that's one more vote they can't
give up. And so it's creating a very unfortunate situation
for President Trump and his agenda.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I know there's been this discussion of kind of like
this rift in Maga, and I don't these influencers, they
don't bother me that much because I know that they're
they're not Congressman, They're not there for the people. They're
getting paid by the tax payers. They change their opinion
with whoever is sponsoring their podcast, So I don't care
so much about what they're doing. But I think this
(16:43):
is a true betrayal. And to wait until she gets
her pension, I just think it's sick. Everyone. This is
Tutor Dixon. I'm guest hosting for Clay and Buck today.
Thank you so much for sticking around. Stay tuned because
we've got Congressman he Stobber after this from minnesot We
want to hear all about the fraud there.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Stay tuned, we'll be right back.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front Lines of Truth.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I am Tutor Dixon.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I'm guest hosting today from the Wood Radio Studios in
Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I just want to say we
have some.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Sad breaking news to bring to you.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Tatiana Schlossberg, JFK's granddaughter has died. This comes one month
after she announced her terminal leukemia diagnosis, and I have
to say as a cancer survivor myself and someone who
just lost my dad to cancer a few years ago,
I can say this cancer is really horrible and we
are just so sad about this, and we do pray
(17:57):
for the family. I want to bring in a congressman
now who is here to talk about what is going
on in this country, mostly in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Congressman Pete Stosberg. Sorry,
congress Minnesota Congressman Pete Stauber. We have him here to
(18:17):
talk about what's going on in Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Congressman. Thank you so much for joining me.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Well, thank you, Tutor. It's great to be with you,
and Happy New Year.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Happy New Year to you. So what is happening?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I mean, we have been talking about Minneapolis all day,
but you are there, You're in Minnesota, this is your
home state.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
When you see this stuff, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Well, first off, I'm coming to you from northern Minnesota, Tutor,
and I'm wearing my Stormy Cromer hat made in Ironwood, Michigan.
It's snowing up here as beautiful. But let's talk about
the subject of the fraud in Minnesota and particularly in
the Twin Cities area. It is Minnesota, are literally outraged.
(19:02):
That's what happening with the fraud. It looks like it's
going to be between nine and eleven billion. It goes
from the housing fraud to medicaid fraud, to medical transportation fraud,
to housing fraud, medicaid fraud, Kyle Care fraud, and the
list goes on and on under Governor Walls. And I'm
(19:24):
very happy that the Trump administration is putting all their
efforts into making sure that fraud that was perpetrated upon
Minnesotans and the American taxpayer there will be people held accountable.
I'm confident of that. And we're going to root out
the waste, fraud and abuse in Minnesota under our derelict
(19:44):
Governor Kim Walls.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Okay, so we've got Congressman Pete Stauber with us. He
is wearing his stormy chromer hat. Kyle Olsen is in
the studio with us. He also brought his stormy chromer
hat today. So I just want to say that Congress
which has the Upper Peninsula on it, So we appreciate,
we appreciate you calling out a good Michigan company there.
But I do want to ask you about the governor
(20:08):
because we all of us are going, Oh, my goodness,
this guy was running to be the vice president of
the United States.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Should he be held accountable? Should he resign?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Tud He's going to be held accountable. I want your
listeners to understand Tim Walls had a cover over him
with the Minneapolis to Twin Cities media. They didn't We
knew when Kamala Harris chose him. We knew that the
national media was going to expose him for the fraud
he is and they certainly did that, and the American
(20:44):
people spoke. And what I will tell you that I
believe that when the administration gets done with their investigations,
you are going to see people being held accountable, and
that includes our governor. I can't imagine that our governor
didn't know about this, because when there were whistleblowers even
(21:05):
several years ago, his administration threatened them and bullied them
into being quiet. It has been exposed, and I think
there's eleven federal agencies on the ground in Minnesota making
sure that they're going to root out the fraud and
hold the people accountable. And the person I believe most
(21:27):
culpable is our governor. I believe that he knew what
was going on, but he turned a blind eye because
it was a voting block for him and his Democrats.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
So talk a little bit because that was going to
be my question is why did he do that? So
talk a little bit more about sort of the political
dynamics within the state.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Well, there's over one hundred thousand Smolians living in Minneapolis,
and so that's a voting block that the Democrat party
needs if they're going to win statewide offices. And it's
my opinion and I believe that the investigations will show
that he was complicit. He knew this was happening, but
turned a blind eye to hold on the power for
(22:12):
he and other Democrats in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
It's interesting that you say that because as Nick Shirley
was kind of digging into the Daycares and digging into
the Medicare fraud and all of that, Scott Presler, who
was on the sideline saying, I want to look into
what exactly is going on with elections and how that's working.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We've seen this now in.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Multiple states across the country different years. But in two
thousand and eight Scott put this out and we've confirmed.
In two thousand and eight, Democrat Senator al Frankin won
his election by three hundred and twelve votes, but that
year they added five hundred and forty two thousand voters
(22:56):
by same day registration is come.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
On, tutor. In Minnesota, one individual can vouch for eight
other individuals to say, you know, during election, the day
of election, you can vouch for them, that they're there,
they can legally vote. So you have one individual taking
eight people vouching for them. And we know that we
(23:21):
know that we want our we want our elections to
be safe and secure. And under the Democrat trifecta in Minnesota,
under Walls's watch, they gave and I'm talking about the
Democrat legislature and the governor gave illegals free health care,
free driver's license, and free college. Uh. And it's just
(23:44):
it's it's outrageous.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
So to me, this is just bananas when you think
about it. So what you're saying is that you can
show up on election day to a polling place with
eight friends and if you are a legal if you
are a legal Minnesota resident, you can say, hey, trust me,
these guys are good.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
You should let them vote today.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
That's exactly right, that's exactly the laws within the state
of Minnesota, and it was brought to us by the
Democrat legislature.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
That is insane. So we've got Congressman Pete Stabber with
us talking about this. This is what is happening. How
do you I mean, you're in northern Minnesota, so to me,
you're still in a safe place. But how do you
ever get a Republican governor again if this is the case,
and why would Tim Walls let anybody hold him accountable?
(24:37):
They're just going to continue to elect the people that
they want.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
So for Tutor, I want you and your listeners to
understand this, Governor Wall. This was brought to Governor Walls
and his administration. The whistleblowers came between five and six
years ago. Again, they threatened them, bully them, and you know,
tried to shut them up. And now Walls is saying
that those of us who want to hold the fraudsters
(25:05):
accountable are racist. Yes, he is called Minnesotan's racists who
want to root out this fraud. And I will tell
you that that is not working. And and this is
it used to.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It used to, but I think people have caught on.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
They're not there. That's that's what people use to try
to scary off. No, we want fraud to end. No
matter who doesn't, fraud must end. We're going to go
after them. And the Trump administration is putting all efforts
into stopping the fraud in Minnesota under Tim Wallas's watch,
and uh, I mean Tudor. We have we have childcare
(25:43):
deserts up in northern Minnesota where we need childcare. And
then we look down in the Twin Cities and there's
hundreds of millions of dollars going out to childcare centers
that don't even have one child in them.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend taking kids there.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
See this unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
So is is the only hope that Trump administration or
are their agencies or I know the Attorney general in
Minnesota is not going to do anything. So it is
the only hope that Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah, the Attorney general, Keith Elison in Minnesota is a disaster.
Our governor is a disaster. We need the state of
Minnesota needs to be saved. And the Trump administration and
their investigators are are We want them to do a
thorough job. We believe there's going to be subpoenas and
search warrants and court cases going on. We have to
(26:36):
solve this because Minnesotans deserved better. And by the way,
this isn't just a Republican or Democrat issue, this is
a This is an entire Minnesota issue. And I can
talk to people across the political spectrum that are fed
up with this. Even my Democrat friends are embarrassed and
ashamed that this happened under their trifecta trifecta and their WAK.
(27:00):
There was no accountability, there was no safeguards in place.
And for your listeners, between nine and eleven billion dollars,
that's what the US Attorney believes. Half of that eighteen
billion dollar surface that we had just a couple of
years ago now is into a six billion dollar tax
increase for Minnesotan's.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
If you are watching these reports that are coming out,
I mean some of these centers that have clearly not
had kids there. They're closed, They're never open. People go
there at all hours of the day. They're not open.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Some of them have gotten over the last since I
think twenty nineteen, ten million dollars.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Oh and tutor that the million dollars is probably the
lowest amount that was given out. Remember Nick Shirley, Remember
that the Leering Center Eli Yeah yeah, Ryang not learning
but liaring center was brought in millions of dollars a year.
Not one person was there. So we have to as Minnesotans,
(28:03):
we have to admit there has been uh, there has
been damage. We're going to correct it. And I can
tell you the Republicans in Minnesota. Thank god that the
Republicans took the House of Representatives in Minnesota, because had
they not, this would have continued. It had been it
would have been shoved under the rug. Again. The Twin
Cities media, the Minneapolis Star and Tribune has some information
(28:29):
like on the third, fourth and fifth pages there's still
not a major article written on Walls's fraud here in
Minnesota and in our state's biggest newspaper. That's the cover
up that they're there. They've been trying to uh put
forth on Minnesotan's it's all in the open now. And
again President Trump and his administration they're they're they're not waiting.
(28:53):
They're coming in to help Minnesotan's, help the tax payers,
and change the direction of of our state. We are
a great state with wonderful people, and we do not
deserve this and I'm glad that the Trump administration and
the secretaries are coming in to do their investigations and
(29:14):
to stop the fraud.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Congressman Pete Stabber, thank you so much for coming on
and talking about this and exposing it.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
We really appreciate having you today.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Thank you, Tutor absolutely.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
And as you're listening to this, just so you know,
when he says the Children's Leering Center, that's how little
oversight there was. This learning was spelled wrong, no end
on the outside of the building, and they are still
giving these folks money. It's insane. Hey, this is Tutor Dixon.
I am guest hosting for Clay and Buck today. Stick around,
We've got something special for you for the end of
(29:46):
the show.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
We will be right.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Back saving America one thought at a time and Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your pipe.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yes, Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
I'm Tutor Dixon from the Tutor Dixon Podcast and I've
got Kyle Olsen with me from the Midwesterner Dot News.
We are coming to you live from the Wood Radio
Studios here in Grand Rapids. Michigan and I have loved
(30:21):
hosting today and I'm so excited about what we want
to share with you. Okay, So on my podcast yesterday,
I had the pleasure of having one hundred and one
year old World War Two veteran to discuss everything. He
stormed the beaches of Normandy. He was at the Battle
of the Bulge. He talked about the emotions, he talked
about the.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
War in general.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
It was just like, this guy is one hundred and
one years old, and yet he's talking to me clear
as day. This generation never ceases to amaze me. But
then I see Dominic critic. I think it's Critelli, who
recently played the national anthem on his saxophone at the
New Islanders game and then the New York Islanders game,
(31:03):
and I'm like, wait a minute, this guy blows the
other guy away a little bit. Irving Locker is amazing,
But this guy's one hundred and four. So listen to
this clip. It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Here to perform.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I wear a national lanpode. Please welcome one.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
And four year old World War Two Army veteran staff
Sergeant Dominic Purtellian.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Isn't that beautiful? Don't you think that's beautiful.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Yeah, and he held that note. It was great.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
No, I know, because you know you're that age. I
try to get my kids to stay in band. So
my little one, I have a very tiny twelve year
old who played the saxophone, and she was kind of
like the sister in the Simpsons. What was the sister's names, Lisa,
that's right, So she was a little bit like Lisa,
but she did not stick with it. I wanted her too,
(32:11):
she did not. But I think that that was incredible
listening to him play.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
Yeah and everyone chanted USA, and it was a great moment.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
It's really impressive to see this generation, the greatest generation,
still out there and they are so eager to talk.
And that's what I loved about my conversation with Ir
Locker on the podcast was that he was so eager
to talk about his experiences in the war.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
We don't really get to.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Hear that very often from people who actually fought in
World War Two.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
To go into detail, he had emotional moments.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I mean, here he is one hundred and one years old,
many years away from World War Two, and he still
talked to me about it like it was yesterday. The
emotions that he felt when he saw the people in
the camps when they liberated the camp's very unique experience
Irving had because he spoke Yiddish, so he was able
to communicate with the people who had been in the camp.
They used him for that communication. I love the fact
(33:05):
that this generation is still out there and when you
see these guys they look frail, you think about what
they did.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Your grandfather was there.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Yeah, he would have turned one hundred in twenty twenty five,
and but we we did a family trip to Poland
this earlier this year to see he was a pow
and we were able to see where he was in
the camp and everything. But we have so much to
learn from that generation.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
We have so much to learn.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
That's why we have to keep talking to them for
as long as they are still here. They are an
amazing generation. But everybody, I just want to say, it's
been such a pleasure hosting this show today. Thank you
Kyle Olsen for joining me. As you know, I am
Tutor Dixon. You can check out the Tutor Dixon podcast
on the Clay and Buck podcast network. It's on the

want to say I want you all to have an
happy New Year.
Speaker 6 (34:02):

Speaker 1 (34:03):

Mary New Year, Merry Christmas or Happy New Year? So
