Tudor Dixonโ€™s Final Push to Take Back Michigan

7 Nov 2022

BUCK: We can set this right, America. Michiganders can set this right. If they get out there and vote for Tudor Dixon, who joins us right now. Tudor, weโ€™ve been having you on. Weโ€™re following this race so closely. We know it is neck and neck. Just bring us down to ground level as itโ€™s go time.

DIXON: Oh, yeah. Right now, on the groundโ€ฆ Thank you, by the way. Thank you for having me on. We are having such a great time. Weโ€™re having rallies. Weโ€™ve been on a bus tour for ten days. Weโ€™re having rallies across the state. Weโ€™ve had such a great turnout. Thereโ€™s so much excitement on the ground. I think the difference between this year and any other year is the emotion involved in this race. People really feel like they were harmed by Gretchen Whitmerโ€™s policies. What she did to them was very personal.

And so justโ€ฆ At the last rally we had, I just had a man come up to me and say, โ€œI lost my whole business. Heโ€™s still paying off debt, because when she closed down, even though she had the opportunity to help us with property taxes at that time, she vetoed it. She just destroyed the businesses across the state. So everybody has their own personal story, and I think thatโ€™s why people are so jazzed about going out and talking to folks, going out and knocking doors, talking to folks on the ground, telling people to go out and vote. And I just think that Michigan could be a very exciting Red Wave tomorrow.

CLAY: Obviously, we are all about you ending Gretchen Whitmerโ€™s reign of horror in in the state of Michigan. Where in Michigan is this race going to be decided in your mind? Who needs to show up? Obviously, people โ€” Republicans, independents, Democrats who have brains โ€” they all need to show up. But where do your analysts and your data people say, โ€œHey, this is where the electionโ€™s going to be decidedโ€?

DIXON: Well, right now, we really believe that it is going to be pushing the turnout of nontraditional midterm voters in heavy Republican areas, and so we see a lot of people talking about the radical proposals that we have on the ballot. So, youโ€™re getting a lot of Christians out that wouldnโ€™t normally vote in a midterm, youโ€™re getting a lot of Trump supporters out that wouldnโ€™t normally vote in a midterm, because we have a couple of different proposals on the ballot that people that donโ€™t necessarily like that want to come out to vote against that, and thatโ€™s helping us with the Republican ticket all the way down the line.

But, really, when you talk about what happened in Michigan, I think that what is going to potentially win this race is really just Gretchen Whitmerโ€™s own words and thatโ€™s driving people across the state out in an interesting way because we had a debate. She came out and said schools were only closed down for three months. I go and have these rallies and kids are yelling out, โ€œMy school was closed for a year and a half! My school was closed for nine months!โ€ You know, it was the kids that were sitting in the room with mom and dad when they were watching the debate that went, โ€œThatโ€™s not true.โ€

And then I think it just kind of jogged that memory of having Gretchen Whitmer shut us down and give us no information and lie to us about the nursing home deaths, and all of that just kind of jogged the memory of the people of Michigan. They said, โ€œWell, whatโ€™s she going to do with another four years? Weโ€™ve already given her 20 in public office.โ€ Michigan is in the worst state itโ€™s ever been. We have the education system in the bottom ten states in the nation.

Weโ€™ve got four of the 20 most dangerous cities in the country, and we have had an economic development crash, no economic development under Gretchen Whitmer at all. In fact, weโ€™re losing the automotive industry to southern states. So, overall, her record is coming out and she canโ€™t defend it, itโ€™s just terrible, and thatโ€™s giving us the opportunity to get our plan out, to get kids back on track, to support our police and create an economic development plan that will actually bring business to the state.

BUCK: Itโ€™s amazing that sheโ€™s so blatantly lying, Tudor. But I suppose given the disastrous results that sheโ€™s had, especially with covid policies, school closures, and really she tried to make herself in many ways the figurehead or put her at the forefront of Fauciism in America and itโ€™s backfired. So now sheโ€™s lying to everybody. And as a as somebody who saw this all up close and personal in New York, I take it very personally, because it was just a mirror image of what we had there. Thatโ€™s what she did in Michigan. But on the crime front โ€” another thing that we take personally โ€” what has she been doing and what would you do differently?

DIXON: Well, she says she has not tried to defund the police, but she came out and she said she supported the spirit. She marched with people who are holding up Defund the Police signs. And to add to that, she marched with them while she had us locked down, which was another adding insult to injury. But she also did defund the police! I mean, when she didnโ€™t get the gas tax that she wanted โ€” because sheโ€™s only tried to raise taxes in Michigan, not lower them. And when she didnโ€™t get what she wanted, she vetoed secondary road patrol funding for our police, for our sheriffs.

And then she came out and they gave her funding for corrections officers, which we so desperately need. She vetoed that. She also is a terrible liar about the budget in general because she comes out and she says, โ€œOh, I passed all these bipartisan budgets,โ€ but sheโ€™s one of the governors in the country โ€” and there arenโ€™t that many โ€” but sheโ€™s one of them that has a veto pen. And so she can pass the budget, but she can cherry-pick what she doesnโ€™t want and veto it. And thatโ€™s what sheโ€™s done with police funding. We shouldnโ€™t forget thatโ€™s what sheโ€™s done.

But just coming out and supporting defund the police really hurt our police departments. And theyโ€™ve said that. They said, you know, โ€œThis culture of disrespecting police officers has caused us to be ambushed in the streets. Weโ€™re concerned about getting either killed on the job or put in jail,โ€ and we had an article just a few months ago that said that, as of in the year of 2022, we were losing a police officer from the force a day in Detroit because Detroit cops were just saying, โ€œItโ€™s just too hard. It is the second most violent city in the nation.โ€

CLAY: Tudor, where are you finishing your campaign? Whatโ€™s the rest of your evening look like? What is the final rally look like? And, for the last minute, people who want to support you, what can they do?

DIXON: Yeah, absolutely. We go through Portage, Michigan. We stop for a rally in Kalamazoo and then weโ€™re going to end in Grand Rapids tonight. Weโ€™re so excited about this ending on the west side of the state โ€” Grand Rapids โ€” with a big final push rally. And if you want to support us, we are running up against that machine and the Democrats. So please go to TudorDixon.com. Itโ€™s going to be a big day tomorrow, but we need all of your help.

Clay and BuckBUCK: Get out there and help, everybody. Just remember Whitmer doing MSNBC hits with the Fauci pillow behind her to justify why small children should have been deprived of an education for 18 months at a time because she canโ€™t read data, has no courage and no judgment. So those are all good reasons, I think, to get out and help Tudor Dixon. Please, please, take back the state of Michigan.
