00:00:41.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:42.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:43.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:00.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:03.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:12.000 There's a very interesting story unfolding in southern Texas in the Rio Grande Valley.
00:01:20.000 There are three Latina conservatives that are running for office.
00:01:24.000 And one of them joins us right now. 0.99
00:01:26.000 It's Cassie Garcia running for Congress in District 28.
00:01:33.000 And she has a very important story to share about how her opponent has accepted cartel money.
00:01:38.000 Cassie joins us right now.
00:01:40.000 Cassie, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:42.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:01:43.000 This is Cassie.
00:01:44.000 I'm so honored to be with you on today as we're seven days away from election night.
00:01:50.000 Yes, we are.
00:01:50.000 And I think it's going to be a very, very good night.
00:01:53.000 So tell us about your opponent and this story that he's accepting cartel money.
00:02:00.000 Yeah.
00:02:00.000 So, you know, Henry Quare, as everyone knows, is a beloved Democrat, loved by Republicans, but then today he's a Democrat.
00:02:06.000 He's been in office for 18 years, but he's been serving in public service since 1987, since I've been in kindergarten.
00:02:14.000 And now he has accepted, he accepted years ago bribes of money from a wife of a cartel member.
00:02:23.000 You know, and people should find this deep.
00:02:25.000 I'm deeply disturbed by this, and I think the people of District 28 should be disturbed by this report, you know.
00:02:32.000 And first of all, a congressman should never accept campaign contributions for money from, especially from Los Vetas, one of the worst, deadliest drug cartels on our southwest border.
00:02:43.000 You know what?
00:02:44.000 It's also a troubling pattern because right now he's under a criminal investigation for corruption as well.
00:02:48.000 Yeah, so I'm reading the story here and it says Texas 28 is one of the most closely watched house races this cycle.
00:02:57.000 And so he received money from this cartel-linked group.
00:03:02.000 How do we know it's from a cartel-linked group?
00:03:04.000 Just kind of build that out a little bit of all the evidence against him.
00:03:09.000 Yeah, so this was billed out and it was actually brought up, but it kind of like fizzled out a little bit after they returned.
00:03:15.000 The San Antonio News Report actually brought this up and it was also followed up by Texas Tribune.
00:03:20.000 And they both, you know, Henry Quare donated the money to a charity.
00:03:26.000 We'd love to know which charity he donated that money to.
00:03:29.000 And his brother, who is a sheriff down in Webb County, Martine Quayar, returned the money back.
00:03:35.000 So we love to find out, you know, how this money was returned.
00:03:39.000 And first of all, how did they not know where this money was coming from?
00:03:43.000 And that's the problem that we're seeing in South Texas.
00:03:45.000 You know, we call corrupt politicians.
00:03:48.000 You know, they've been there too long, you know, and they're obviously become very wealthy.
00:03:53.000 And you should know this when you're in Congress.
00:03:56.000 You know, you should not, you know, start to get wealthy.
00:03:58.000 He's got luxury condos in DC.
00:04:01.000 And that's why I support term limits as well.
00:04:03.000 But I think it's time.
00:04:05.000 I think people are waking up.
00:04:07.000 People are disturbed by the news.
00:04:08.000 This just broke yesterday.
00:04:10.000 And so I think as people are going out to the ballot box, as we're continuing early voting this week, I think people are going to be paying attention to this.
00:04:18.000 It's going to help them make a decision whether to vote for someone who is corrupt or vote for a better way forward for this district.
00:04:26.000 Yeah, so talk a little bit about the damage the cartels have done to the southern border and in your district, the drugs, the crime.
00:04:33.000 I mean, the cartels are no joke, and he accepts money from the cartels.
00:04:36.000 Talk about that.
00:04:38.000 Look, you know, he obviously he's been in office for 18 years.
00:04:42.000 Look, I am a lifelong South Texan.
00:04:44.000 I'm also the wife of a border patrol agent.
00:04:46.000 And so when we talk about the cartels, they're making billions and billions of dollars.
00:04:50.000 People that are trying to cross our country, you know, they're paying them to come across here. 1.00
00:04:54.000 People are dying.
00:04:55.000 We talk about the fentanyl crisis that is seeping through our border here.
00:04:59.000 I met a mother who lost her daughter to fentanyl.
00:05:02.000 She was 17 years old and she died in July.
00:05:04.000 She thought she was taking a sleeping aid and never woke up the next morning.
00:05:07.000 And so when we talk about the cartels, they're moving in.
00:05:10.000 People are saying, no, they're not coming in.
00:05:11.000 No, they are in this country.
00:05:13.000 They are in this country.
00:05:14.000 They're moving around.
00:05:15.000 The people are paying them billions of dollars.
00:05:18.000 People are, I mean, they are, we need to shut them down.
00:05:21.000 We need to shut down the border.
00:05:22.000 We need to close the border.
00:05:24.000 We need the president of the United States to do his job and enforce the laws on the books.
00:05:28.000 And that's why people are raised.
00:05:30.000 In District 28, when I'm talking to voters, they're telling me, Kathy, we have an unsecure border.
00:05:35.000 The border is broken, price out of control, and we don't even have doctors.
00:05:38.000 Four of the nine counties do not even have doctors.
00:05:41.000 And with the influx of people that we're seeing in this district or even on the border, it's not fair to the communities that are having to deal with the impact of this crisis.
00:05:52.000 The administration won't talk about it.
00:05:54.000 We have a border duck Kamala who will not visit the southern border.
00:05:58.000 We have a secretary of Mallorca who has belittled our men and women in green. 0.97
00:06:03.000 And I think we have a congressman who is corrupt.
00:06:06.000 And it's time for him to step down, to move along, and allow someone who is going to properly represent this district.
00:06:14.000 And that's why we talk about that shift.
00:06:16.000 This district, 28 is a toss of race now.
00:06:18.000 People are looking at between my race, Monica De La Cruz, and Myra Flores in 34, that we could actually make history and flip three seats in the Rio Grande Valley that have been Democrat-controlled for over 150 years.
00:06:30.000 And in this District 28, they've never had a Republican, conservative ever serve this great district.
00:06:35.000 So I can't wait.
00:06:37.000 And I'm meeting, Charlie, I'm meeting people on the ground every single day.
00:06:39.000 Tell me, Kathy, I've been a Democrat my whole entire life, and I voted Republican-free.
00:06:44.000 In fact, I was meeting with the mayor at a restaurant here at Meeting Greet right now in Atta Scott County.
00:06:48.000 I had a voter come up to me and say, Kathy, I've always voted for Henry Clare.
00:06:51.000 I just voted for you.
00:06:53.000 Wow.
00:06:54.000 Those sort of stories start to pile up.
00:06:56.000 So then what do you attribute to the general trend that Hispanics are leaving the Democrat Party?
00:07:01.000 What is your explanation for that?
00:07:04.000 Look, at the end of the day, when we talk about the shift, the Hispanic shift, the Hispanic shift of voters, Hispanics are smart.
00:07:11.000 They're common sense voters who believe in the American dream.
00:07:14.000 They're about faith, family, freedom, hard work.
00:07:18.000 The Democrat Party has left the Hispanic community.
00:07:21.000 They've gone so far left.
00:07:23.000 You look at AOC, open borders, defund the police.
00:07:26.000 I'm sorry, but when you talk to Hispanics, even if you're a Democrat, you're a conservative Democrat, you support a strong and secure border.
00:07:35.000 We support legal immigration, not illegal immigration.
00:07:38.000 So when I'm talking to voters, they're telling me, Kathy, I don't even recognize my party anymore.
00:07:44.000 I don't recognize it anymore.
00:07:45.000 So that's, you know, that's, I can't wait.
00:07:48.000 I'm meeting voters every single day that are Democrats.
00:07:52.000 And when I talk about securing the border, Charlie, I don't care if you're a Republican or you're a Democrat, wanting to secure the border shouldn't be a reddish or a blue.
00:08:00.000 It's a red, white, and blue issue.
00:08:02.000 And people are fed up.
00:08:03.000 You're talking about the economy, inflation, an unsecure border.
00:08:07.000 I mean, 2.4 million crossings.
00:08:10.000 When does it stop?
00:08:11.000 Like, when does it stop?
00:08:12.000 And when you talk to voters, they say it's the administration.
00:08:16.000 They want them to vote.
00:08:17.000 They want them to vote.
00:08:18.000 They want them here.
00:08:19.000 There's a reason why they keep the border open.
00:08:21.000 So people are paying attention.
00:08:23.000 So we're not talking about, even though abortions, you know, it's an important issue to talk about, but people are talking about putting gas in their car.
00:08:31.000 Yeah, I have talked to a mom who said, Kathy, I had to take out a loan to buy school supplies for my kids.
00:08:36.000 And so, I mean, people are making, mothers and dads are making difficult decisions.
00:08:40.000 I had a mom tell me, I don't even know I'm going to be able to buy Christmas gifts for my kids this Christmas because we don't have money.
00:08:47.000 So people are, Charlie, people are hurting every single day and they're ready for a change.
00:08:51.000 They are truly, and I was down with Governor Abbott yesterday in Laredo and people are fired up.
00:08:56.000 They're fired up and they're ready.
00:08:58.000 They're hungry. 0.81
00:08:59.000 And that's why I can't wait to see come up next Tuesday this election to see if we can flip the seat red and make history.
00:09:08.000 And I'll be the first Hispanic Latina to ever represent this great district.
00:09:12.000 And more importantly, be the true voice for the people of District 28 and truly represent them and their values.
00:09:20.000 That's so well said.
00:09:21.000 How could people support your race before a week from today?
00:09:26.000 Yeah, so I, you know, we are seven days, you know, away.
00:09:29.000 And so if anybody, we're asking for prayer, but we're also asking for a donation.
00:09:33.000 So if anybody, a dollar, two dollars will go a long way to keep my commercials up in the air.
00:09:37.000 So asking people to go to KathyForCongress.com, KathyForCongress.com.
00:09:42.000 I, you know, I've served this great district for 17 years, fighting for conservative principles and fighting a secure border.
00:09:49.000 And I'm so honored to have the endorsement from the National Border Patrol Council, who's always endorsed Henry Cuare.
00:09:54.000 And they've switched their endorsement.
00:09:56.000 They've endorsed me in this race because they believe in me.
00:09:59.000 They're tired of Henry Quare, who votes 95% of the time with Nancy Pelosi and who also voted against life-saving infrastructure and also voted for a bill for 87,000 IRS agents.
00:10:12.000 My friend, we don't need 87,000 IRS agents.
00:10:15.000 We need 87,000 Border Patrol customs officers and security school officers to keep our community safe.
00:10:22.000 That's exactly right.
00:10:24.000 Best of luck, Cassie.

00:12:04.000 What are you going to do in the next week to help save the Republic?
00:12:09.000 Say, Charlie, I'm watching from afar.
00:12:11.000 That's not good enough.
00:12:13.000 How many doors are you knocking on?
00:12:14.000 How many people are you mobilizing?
00:12:17.000 How many people you're talking to?
00:12:19.000 Let's go to cut 20. 0.98
00:12:21.000 Major red flags for Democrats. 0.97
00:12:23.000 Play cut 20.
00:12:25.000 Digging deeper here, we've got some all-time midterm highs that should serve as red flags for the Democrats.
00:12:31.000 The wrong track, 71%, all-time midterm high since we've been polling.
00:12:36.000 How about presidential approval disapproval on the economy sitting at 57%?
00:12:41.000 Again, we hadn't recorded that ever that high in our poll.
00:12:45.000 And the third one, the direction of the economy.
00:12:47.000 In the next year, is it going to get better or worse?
00:12:49.000 50% say it's going to get worse again.
00:12:51.000 An all-time high in midterm polling.
00:12:55.000 So you look at the general trend.
00:12:56.000 Republicans are widening the lead rather significantly.
00:13:01.000 So let's just go through some of the latest kind of markers, if you will, that I think are interesting tests of really what's happening here.
00:13:09.000 But I can't say this enough.
00:13:10.000 If for whatever reason you guys think we're going to win and, oh, everything's just fine, you are wrong.
00:13:16.000 We have to overwhelm the system on election day.
00:13:20.000 Overwhelm the system. 1.00
00:13:22.000 Tudor Dixon, who joins us in a second, in a statistical tie with Gretchen Whitmer.
00:13:27.000 Lee Zeldon, statistical tie.
00:13:29.000 Brian Kemp, up on Stacey Abrams.
00:13:32.000 Sisilak is down in Nevada.
00:13:36.000 The New York Times claims that Katie Hobbs and Kerry Lake are tied.
00:13:42.000 I don't know about that.
00:13:43.000 These New York Times polls are such a joke.
00:13:46.000 I have not seen grassroots enthusiasm for any candidate like I've seen for Kerry Lake ever.
00:13:51.000 It's extraordinary.
00:13:53.000 Tape here, play cut 36.
00:13:55.000 Poll after poll shows show that voters trust, they say they trust Republicans more than Democrats when it comes to the economy.
00:14:03.000 What's the administration's response to that persistent view?
00:14:07.000 When the president walked into this administration, the economy was in ruins.
00:14:12.000 It was an absolute ruins.
00:14:14.000 Yeah, the economy was not in ruins.
00:14:16.000 You guys made it in ruins.
00:14:18.000 You guys passed trillions of dollars of spending unnecessarily and brought us to the brink of economic collapse and catastrophe.
00:14:26.000 Joe Rogan thinks a red wave is coming.
00:14:28.000 Joe Rogan, who is a free thinker, Joe Rogan, who is a believer in truth and in liberty and the Constitution, here's what he thinks is going to happen.
00:14:40.000 Play cut 41.
00:14:41.000 The red wave that's coming is going to be like the elevator doors opening up in the shining.
00:14:46.000 I think people are just like, what the f are you saying?
00:14:49.000 They're making Republicans.
00:14:51.000 There you go.
00:14:52.000 Cut 40 CBS poll finds Republicans have a 20-point advantage among 79% of voters.
00:15:00.000 Not only do I think these polls are wrong, there's a chance these polls are off by 10 or 15 points.
00:15:05.000 Play cut 40.
00:15:07.000 Our CBS News Battleground Tracker poll out this morning shows that a stunning 79%, that's nearly 8 in 10 likely voters, say that the country is out of control.
00:15:19.000 That's an ominous sign for the Democrats who hold power in Washington.
00:15:23.000 Of those 79% expected to vote next Tuesday, Republicans have a more than 20-point advantage.
00:15:30.000 Not to mention the base turnout, and that's where all of you come in.
00:15:34.000 You have to vote.
00:15:36.000 You have to get your friends to vote, your family members to vote.

00:15:44.000 Who are your 30?

00:15:48.000 Every single person.
00:15:49.000 We have to have a massive, overwhelming Election Day turnout.
00:15:56.000 Early voting is closing.
00:15:57.000 That window is closing.
00:15:59.000 We have got to show up in numbers unlike anything we have ever seen before.
00:16:04.000 And guess what?
00:16:04.000 I think we can do that.
00:16:06.000 You guys can go to tpaction.com to go knock on doors this weekend all across the country.
00:16:10.000 We have an event coming up with Governor Ron DeSantis and Ana Paulina.
00:16:14.000 I will be there as well in Florida, tpaction.com slash DeSantis.
00:16:18.000 DeSantis is going to win by double digits in the state of Florida.
00:16:22.000 So it's important.
00:16:23.000 It's critically important.
00:16:25.000 And if we put that together, I think we're going to shock the world in places we could never have imagined all across the country.
00:16:30.000 But it's also the city council races.
00:16:32.000 It's the school board races.
00:16:34.000 It's up and down the ballot in every single way we can, but it has to be full court press press shoulder to the wheel.
00:16:41.000 We cannot give up or let up right now.
00:16:43.000 It's the most critical juncture this last week.
00:16:46.000 We have the Democrats on the run.
00:16:48.000 They peaked way too early.
00:16:50.000 We are still gaining voters day by day by day.
00:16:53.000 The closing arguments matter.

00:17:59.000 We keep a close eye on the Michigan governor's race.
00:18:03.000 I'm telling you, I think that the world is going to be blown away here.
00:18:07.000 Joining us now is Tudor Dixon, who is running for governor in Michigan in a statistical tie with Gretchen Whitmer.
00:18:13.000 Tudor, welcome back to the program.
00:18:15.000 How do you feel about things?
00:18:17.000 I feel really good right now.
00:18:19.000 We just got a poll saying that we're tied.
00:18:21.000 We know that there are a lot of quiet Republicans in Michigan.
00:18:24.000 Michigan is a very difficult state to poll.
00:18:26.000 We are having hundreds, sometimes thousands of people come to our events.
00:18:30.000 We just saw an article yesterday saying Gretchen Whitmer had dozens of people at her event.
00:18:35.000 We feel that the momentum is with us.
00:18:38.000 It's been great.
00:18:39.000 We have the two debates.
00:18:41.000 She came out in the debate and said that school had only been closed down for three months.
00:18:45.000 People were shocked that she said that.
00:18:47.000 They now see what the truth is about this government, what's going on.
00:18:51.000 They want to make sure that we can bring the state back.
00:18:53.000 They've seen the reading scores.
00:18:54.000 They want to make sure our kids can read.
00:18:56.000 They want to make sure you can have the American dream in this state.
00:18:59.000 They want to make sure that we support police and that we reduce crime.
00:19:02.000 We feel strong going into this week.
00:19:05.000 Yeah, so talk about the fundamentals.
00:19:07.000 What are you guys going to really be focusing on?
00:19:08.000 And what is Whitmer's message right now?
00:19:10.000 It seems she's kind of without one.
00:19:12.000 She is without one.
00:19:13.000 And that's why I think it was so difficult for her to come back in the debates because she had a message in 2018.
00:19:19.000 She didn't come through with any of that.
00:19:21.000 She's not making any promises going forward on how she's going to repair the state. 0.98
00:19:25.000 She obviously does not have an economic development plan. 0.93
00:19:28.000 We are talking about making sure that we get tutors into our schools, get our kids back on track.
00:19:33.000 We had kids out of school almost longer than any other state.
00:19:35.000 Our reading scores just came back from the spring.
00:19:38.000 Nearly 60% of our third graders failed their reading and writing exams.
00:19:42.000 First and foremost, let's get into these schools and make sure we get the kids back on track.
00:19:46.000 But we're also in the bottom 10 in the nation for education.
00:19:50.000 So we've got to get that back on track as well.
00:19:52.000 We're talking about education freedom.
00:19:54.000 We're also talking about making sure that our kids are not only getting an education, but they're living in safe communities.
00:20:00.000 And so that's why we want to put a billion new dollars into the police.
00:20:03.000 We've been very clear about our plan.
00:20:05.000 As I've gone around the state, we have the endorsement of the largest police union in the state.
00:20:10.000 Also, more than two dozen sheriffs, some of those Democrats that have said, we feel that we were betrayed.
00:20:16.000 We really, we are not asking for anything other than support and then let us do our jobs.
00:20:22.000 That's really important to me that we support our police, we bring back safe communities.
00:20:26.000 And once we get education on track, we bring back safe communities.
00:20:31.000 I know businesses will want to be coming to the state of Michigan.
00:20:34.000 We have to reduce regulation though.
00:20:35.000 It's very challenging right now.
00:20:37.000 If you're a local folk, local person that wants to start their own business, an entrepreneur, it's very challenging to get through the red tape.
00:20:45.000 If you are a large business coming to the state, it's very challenging to get through that red tape.
00:20:49.000 So we want to reduce regulations in the state of Michigan by 40% in the first four years.
00:20:54.000 And then I know that we will see an economic boom in the state.
00:20:58.000 Yeah, I think that's well said. 1.00
00:20:59.000 Let's play some tape here of Gretchen Whitmer. 1.00
00:21:03.000 Let's go to Cut 34.
00:21:06.000 You know, I've had a good relationship with the vice president.
00:21:10.000 He came and helped me a bit when I was running for governor.
00:21:13.000 He were cut from a similar cloth.
00:21:16.000 She's talking about Joe Biden saying that they're cut from the same cloth.
00:21:20.000 And then this one, Cut 28, Whitmer says schools stay closed for three months.
00:21:24.000 A total lie.
00:21:25.000 Play cut 28.
00:21:26.000 You know, Mrs. Dixon says that I kept students out longer than any other state.
00:21:31.000 That's just not true.
00:21:32.000 I worked closely with my Republican and Democratic governors, and kids were out for three months.
00:21:37.000 Three months, is that right?
00:21:39.000 Oh my.
00:21:40.000 And even the way she says it, just smiling out of the side of her mouth, kids were out for three months.
00:21:46.000 Parents were outraged.
00:21:48.000 And it wasn't even parents.
00:21:49.000 When they came back to me, I said, I think I just heard an audible gasp around town.
00:21:53.000 I've had parents come up to me and say, you did hear an audible gasp because in our house, it was the kids who were saying, she's got to be kidding.
00:22:01.000 And they've suffered not only learning loss, but the mental health issues that they've suffered from losing.
00:22:07.000 They had so much of their life lost.
00:22:09.000 We had kids that lost out on sports, kids that lost out on prom, graduations, all of these milestone moments for our kids, even just the loss of being around friends.
00:22:19.000 I think a lot of people in other states don't realize how significant it was because we weren't allowed to have our kids leave our house.
00:22:26.000 We were told they couldn't play outside.
00:22:28.000 People were calling the police if their children were outside.
00:22:31.000 They couldn't go shopping with you.
00:22:33.000 They could never leave the house.
00:22:34.000 And so it was months before I looked down at my daughter one night, putting her to bed at the time my oldest was 10.
00:22:41.000 She started to cry and I said, What's wrong?
00:22:43.000 And she said, Mom, I think this is what depression feels like.
00:22:47.000 I think most parents remember that, and they were very outraged to hear her belittle the amount of time that our kids were out of school and just kind of act like this was no big deal because we're still suffering from the repercussions of not only learning loss, but the loss of friends and the loss of activities.
00:23:06.000 It's been devastating to the state.
00:23:08.000 And she just acts like it's in such a flippant way that, oh, no, we were only out for three months. 0.72
00:23:13.000 Well, what a joke.
00:23:14.000 That sounds like Gretchen Whitmer and taking zero responsibility whatsoever while her husband went to the lake house saying, Don't you know who I am?
00:23:21.000 I'm such an important person.
00:23:23.000 Let's go to this tape here where Gretchen Whitmer said she wants to abolish ICE.
00:23:30.000 Let's play cut 31.
00:23:31.000 Do you think we should abolish ICE, though?
00:23:34.000 I think that ICE is doing a fundamentally cruel and unconstitutional undemocratic.
00:23:42.000 So you think we should abolish it?
00:23:43.000 Yeah.
00:23:44.000 Tudor, abolish ice with the fentanyl crisis in America.
00:23:47.000 And a serious crisis in the state of Michigan.
00:23:51.000 We have had more overdoses in 2021 than ever before.
00:23:56.000 We're facing the crisis in a way I think many states aren't.
00:24:00.000 We went to our crime, one of our crime labs on the east side of the state a few weeks ago, and the woman who was doing the testing brought out these two big blocks of cocaine.
00:24:08.000 And she said, this is what I'm testing.
00:24:10.000 But later today, she brought out a block that was at least a foot wide and almost a foot long.
00:24:16.000 And she said, this is fentanyl.
00:24:18.000 And I'll be testing this later today.
00:24:20.000 I was totally shocked to see this amount of fentanyl just in her hands.
00:24:24.000 And I said, how many people could that kill?
00:24:27.000 She said, this could kill millions.
00:24:29.000 So where did you find this?
00:24:30.000 She said, just down the street in Pontiac, in Michigan.
00:24:33.000 We found it in the house.
00:24:34.000 That didn't come out of Michigan.
00:24:36.000 That came across our border. 0.57
00:24:38.000 Gretchen Whitmer will not acknowledge that we have an open border.
00:24:41.000 And here she is saying that she doesn't support ICE.
00:24:44.000 We know she supported sanctuary cities in the past.
00:24:47.000 This is, you know what?
00:24:48.000 The fact of the matter is, fentanyl, it doesn't discriminate against anybody.
00:24:52.000 It will take anyone's life.
00:24:54.000 We have seen this drug crisis affect people, no matter what kind of life they live, no matter what zip code they're in. 0.55
00:25:01.000 People are losing loved ones to the opioid crisis, and Gretchen Whitmer doesn't have an answer to it.
00:25:06.000 In fact, she doesn't even want to talk about it.
00:25:08.000 When she was asked about the opioid crisis in our debate, she started off on this tangent about health care that had nothing to do with the opioid crisis, but she would gladly protect these folks who are bringing it across the border.
00:25:20.000 Yeah, that is, that's that's really well said.
00:25:22.000 So there's a new article out that's talking about pandemic amnesty.
00:25:26.000 I don't know if you saw this or not, but they say that we have to have, let's declare pandemic amnesty.
00:25:31.000 We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID, we were in the dark and children suffered.
00:25:37.000 And Michigan suffered almost more than any other state because of Gretchen Whitmer, because of Gretchen Whitmer.
00:25:43.000 So should we just turn the page and forget about this, Tudor, and not learn our lessons?
00:25:47.000 Or is it time to hold people accountable?
00:25:49.000 Oh, absolutely not turn the page.
00:25:51.000 And one of the things that I think is key here is that one of the people that retweeted that is the union boss, the teachers' union boss who was saying schools have to be shut down, who was also in Detroit, Michigan last weekend with Barack Obama saying that there is no one who will take care of you like Gretchen Whitmer.
00:26:10.000 I think she meant no one who will take care of the teachers union like Gretchen Whitmer.
00:26:15.000 That to me is so key that the teachers union is saying, let's forget about the pandemic.
00:26:20.000 Don't think about what we did to your kids, but give money to these politicians who kept the schools locked down, who kept the kids from learning.
00:26:28.000 This is outrageous.
00:26:30.000 Just what we see in the state of Michigan, these politicians and political talking heads like the teachers union coming into the state and telling people, we know what's best for you.
00:26:40.000 At that same rally, our lieutenant governor stood there in Detroit and said, this is where we get political power and we want political power to come from the city of Detroit.
00:26:50.000 Imagine someone who is supposed to be a servant, who's supposed to lead your state, demanding political power after the four years that we have suffered through.
00:27:00.000 And Tudor, I think it's important for you to tell our audience your own personal biography.
00:27:04.000 You're a mother of four girls.
00:27:06.000 Is that right? 0.98
00:27:07.000 Talk, talk about that to introduce yourself more to our national audience.
00:27:11.000 Yes.
00:27:12.000 So I'm a mom of four school-aged girls.
00:27:14.000 I went through the pandemic with all the other parents who had kids in elementary and middle school going through this.
00:27:20.000 It was pretty devastating to see them locked out.
00:27:23.000 But I think what a lot of people don't understand about my background is that I truly come from the world of manufacturing.
00:27:29.000 My family owned a steel foundry in the state of Michigan.
00:27:32.000 So I spent most of my career on the shop floor, heavy equipment.
00:27:35.000 We were making mining and rail and military equipment.
00:27:39.000 I moved from the foundry steel casting industry to steel forging industry, where it was all automotive.
00:27:46.000 So I've seen those businesses.
00:27:48.000 I've seen how over-regulation can crush a business.
00:27:51.000 I've seen how the state of Michigan goes after our manufacturers.
00:27:54.000 And this is our bread and butter.
00:27:55.000 These small businesses, manufacturing and agriculture are our two largest industries.
00:28:00.000 And we have a state government right now.
00:28:03.000 Gretchen Whitmer does not understand the importance of preserving American manufacturing.
00:28:07.000 She has not lived through what I've lived through, watching our manufacturing go to China, watching these big companies choose China over the Americans because they could make it cheaper.
00:28:17.000 And then ultimately, seeing Buy America clauses go from Buy America to 80% Buy America clause.
00:28:24.000 And we're not getting our military equipment finished until 20% of it comes from overseas and some of that is from China.
00:28:30.000 People don't understand the dangers that we are in right now if we do not go back to American manufacturing and preserve American jobs.
00:28:38.000 Yeah, that's well said.
00:28:39.000 Talk about your website, how people can support you in this final push.
00:28:43.000 We're one week out.
00:28:44.000 Yes, please check us out at tutordixon.com.
00:28:47.000 We are up against a machine in Gretchen Whitmer.
00:28:49.000 They are bringing in as much money as they possibly can.
00:28:52.000 They've already spent, I think that they're on track to spend 50 million in the next, by the end of this week, in the whole thing.
00:28:59.000 50 million.
00:28:59.000 24 million?
00:29:00.000 Jeez, that's crazy.
00:29:02.000 Yeah.
00:29:02.000 Wow.
00:29:02.000 So all the help we can get.
00:29:04.000 That's extraordinary.
00:29:05.000 What's the website again?
00:29:07.000 It's tutordixon.com.
00:29:09.000 And I promise you, next Wednesday, everybody will be saying, wow, she did this with so little because everybody wants a change in Michigan.
00:29:18.000 Every poll shows that you're tightening the race.
00:29:20.000 It's remarkable.
00:29:21.000 Just the latest poll right there shows a tie insider advantage in America greatness.
00:29:26.000 That's right there, 4545.
00:29:28.000 You could do it.
00:29:28.000 Tudor, we're behind you.
00:29:29.000 Thank you so much.
00:29:31.000 Thank you.
00:29:34.000 Boy, I could do a whole hour on this piece.
00:29:36.000 So I almost should save this for a different time.
00:29:39.000 But it's let's declare a pandemic amnesty.
00:29:42.000 It's an interesting thing to argue by Emily Auster.
00:29:46.000 She says we need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.
00:29:51.000 When were we in the dark about COVID?
00:29:53.000 For two weeks?
00:29:56.000 Every single thing we predicted when it came to being in the dark about COVID, when you guys are in the dark, it was true.
00:30:02.000 The original cruise ship told us everything we need to know about transmission, death rates.
00:30:07.000 In April of 2020, 2020, with nothing else to do, my family took an enormous number of hikes.
00:30:13.000 We all wore cloth masks that I made myself.
00:30:16.000 We had a family hand signal, which the person in front would use as someone approaching on the trail, and we needed to put on our masks.
00:30:22.000 Once, when another child got too close to my four-year-old son on a bridge, he yelled at her social distancing. 0.99
00:30:27.000 You're a sick person, Emily. 1.00
00:30:28.000 You understand that? 1.00
00:30:30.000 That's really deranged to teach your four-year-old to yell at other people social distancing.
00:30:35.000 These precautions were totally misguided.
00:30:37.000 Yeah, we try to tell you that.
00:30:39.000 And you guys called us conspiracy theorists, nut jobs, wackos, kicked us off social media, suppressed our accounts, and used the DHS probably to do it.
00:30:47.000 It was all misguided.
00:30:48.000 And you called me anti-science.
00:30:50.000 You smeared all of us.
00:30:50.000 You smeared me.
00:30:52.000 In April 22, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking.
00:30:57.000 Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare.
00:30:59.000 Oh, but what did the CDC say?
00:31:01.000 Our cloth masters made out of old bandanas wouldn't have done anything anyway.
00:31:04.000 The thing is, we didn't know.
00:31:05.000 Yes, you did.
00:31:06.000 You were just too hypnotized to believe the narrative.
00:31:10.000 We knew.
00:31:11.000 We said it on this program.
00:31:12.000 We did show after show after show.
00:31:13.000 We tried to warn you.
00:31:14.000 Dr. McCullough, Dr. Malone, Dr. Weinstein.
00:31:19.000 She keeps on writing.
00:31:20.000 I've been reflecting on this lack of knowledge thanks to a class I'm co-teaching at Brown University on COVID.
00:31:24.000 You're teaching a class.
00:31:26.000 You should be disbarred from teaching anybody.
00:31:29.000 We spent several lectures reliving the first year of the pandemic, discussing the many important choices we had to make under conditions of tremendous uncertainty.
00:31:37.000 There was no uncertainty. 1.00
00:31:39.000 There's uncertainty if you're an idiot, which you were. 1.00
00:31:41.000 I'm sorry. 1.00
00:31:43.000 The whole time we were on the data because we were not living in the regime.
00:31:47.000 We were not living under this hypnosis.
00:31:50.000 For two weeks, you're like, what is this?
00:31:51.000 And then we started to do our research, saw how the virus spread in Italy, saw how it spread in cruise ships, saw how it spread anecdotally, and we went all in on it.
00:31:58.000 And guess what?
00:31:59.000 We were right.
00:32:00.000 And you guys censored us.
