Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. We have a very special guest with us today. I am excited to welcome the forty fifth President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, to the podcast. Mister President, welcome, Well, thank you very much, Tudor.

It's great to be with you.

Thank you. I'm so excited. I want to actually take a little bit of a different approach to this conversation because there's a special President Trump that I know, and he is an incredibly caring guy. You were so wonderful to my dad when he was sick. You took a lot of time to talk to him. But we've also had some other folks on that have said great things about you. Major John Turnbull was on the podcast and he told us about leaving Walter Reed after losing his eyesight in an explosion in Syria. He met you at the hospital, but then he came home to his house and you and the first lady had left him a gift. It wasn't from the White House, it was especially from you. It was new baby supplies for his baby. He said he's never going to forget and you have no idea what that meant to him. I also heard about a story years ago of a woman who lost a game show. She was asked what she would do with the money. She said, her young son was sick. She would pay his medical bills. You decided to pick up the medical bills and then help him through his first year of college. Why don't we ever get to see this side of Donald Trump in the public because it is such an amazing part of who you are.

Well, I don't know. People aren't interested in I can tell you the media is not interested in those things. And you know I'll help people. I love to help people. It's nice to be able to do it. And some of the soldiers what they've given up. I used to go to wal to Read a lot when I was president, to just visit people, visit soldiers, and incredible, I mean to see first of all, how good wal to Read is what they could do. But to see the damage done to these people and the horrible damage done to them, and especially when you view you know there, why were we there? Why did we do this? And you know, I believe in peace through strength, But you can you can you don't have to do all of this stuff that we do. It ends up not solving problems. But when you see the destruction that's done and the horrible harm to the families, to the people that we're talking about, but to the families and beyond, it's really terrible. So I would spend a lot of time and you get to be really, uh, really friendly about it. It's uh, you know, it's very interesting. I would never have been a doctor because I'm not good at handling that stuff. You understand that, right, And yet I've seen wounds that are so bad and it's incredible. I have no problem with it. I normally would have no problem with that. I have such respect for these people. I just have no problem with it.

Yeah, he said it was a moment when they said no cameras allowed. He said, no one knew you were there, No when you came to the hospital. He said. It was just so amazing to think that he didn't want anybody to know. He just came to see me and it really meant something to him. And I just I've heard so many stories that are so amazing, and we see what you go through, we watch this. I've had people say to me before, I would never run for office because who would run for office. I mean, we're looking at fore indictments, now a mugshot you and your family. You're very tough. I know you're very tough. I've talked to you, I've seen you. But I have to ask you. You have a son that's just a few years older than my daughter in high school right now. How is a father? Do you protect him and guide him through this? And how do you talk about the weaponization of government that has scared other people away from running?

Well, I've seen people where they don't like our government anymore, and I say, you can't do that. We have to love our government, but we have to change it. They become very they become crazed there. And this has been happening from before my time, but not that much before. It's gotten it's gotten really big. And it started with the Obama administration. And you understand that it just was nasty, and it's gotten to a point now where it's out of control. It's the weaponization of government. They sue you, not two and a half years ago when they could have They sue you right in the middle of your election and we're leading Biden and We're leading, everybody leading Biden by a lot, and they sue you. Right, if I wasn't leading, or if I wasn't running, none of the stuff would happen.

Oh, I mean, we are not surprised. This is the most corrupt president we've ever had.

Yeah, these people are horrible. I mean, it's like incredible that this could take place. Actually it's called you know, weaponization, but it's also you know, there are many there are many terms where it tries to affect the election. That's what they're trying to do, affect the election. And I'm way up on Biden in some of these balls, and they want to change it. You know, there's a term called election interference, and that's exactly what they do. And they do it for that reason. It's terrible. I think they also do it as revenge for the Republicans going after them for the first you know, for the first time. Let's see what happens, because they have to act. If they're going to do something, just either do it or don't do it. But you got they got to act because there's so much corruption. This is the most corrupt president in history and the most incompetent at the same time, it's pretty incredible.

I know. I try to explain this to my own kids, But what's it like as a father, because we see you as this amazingly strong man, but you're a dad.

Well, it's tough when you have children that you know. I have a son who's seventeen, just turned seventeen, but you know, regardless of age, when they see this kind of stuff happening, and it plays out in the media, and much of the media doesn't cover it accurately, but a lot of people, you know, it's very interesting. The poll numbers went way up. That means that people understand it. The phone numbers are the highest probably they've ever been. And every time I get indicted they go up. But you know, I get indicted. I never was indicted before. All of a sudden, they do this stuff. And I will say this, that's true. I know a lot of successful people that said, oh boy, they'd like to do what I did, and now they say, no, it's really something they wouldn't want to do. It's a nasty, very nasty business. You meet very dishonest people like Adam Schiff and people that you just don't really I don't know. You meet some pretty bad business people. But these are really sleeves. These are really bad people, the shifts of the world and so many others. It's incredible actually, and they know the facts, you know, they knew that there was no Russia, Russia Russia, and yet they talk about it. They made it up. They knew the story was phony, but they'll talk about it like, oh, it's this great constitutional crisis, and yet they know it's phony.

When you're back in office, will you go after Hillary Clinton for that fake dossier?

Well, that's that's the thing. It was a fake Dosier. Yeah, that'speak. All of that stuff is now part of what's going on and what's being looked at. Fake Dosier, who is paid for by the Democrat Party and Hillary all of this stuff, it was fake. It's just fake. Everything the current stuff is fake, all fake.

And yet we have some really real stuff about Hunter Biden, pretty terrible. It's incredible when we look at what we're seeing right now with Ukraine and Hunter Biden, Russia and Hunter Biden, China and Hunter Biden, and yet they're getting away with what they're doing. But now we see them distracting again. So I want to talk to you about this because we had a booming economy with you before COVID. It's COVID stole so much from us. We lost our loved ones, We suffered major learning loss, our kids really suffered mental health strain. Costs have gone through the roof. And now we're hearing that Kentucky is shutting down two school systems because of COVID again. So people are panicked that these shutdowns are going to return. What happens in a Trump administration when COVID comes back.

Well, we don't do shutdowns for one thing. And it sounds to me like, you know, if something's coming back. You know, they blame everything. They say it's COVID because they love using the word COVID. If you have a flu season, you know, they call it COVID. We had that then too, by the way, you had a lot of flu. You had a lot of this. And you know they like to say everything COVID. But let's see what happens. I mean, there could be something happening. And you know I always said Biden did a lousy job with COVID, and he did do a lousy job. We handed him over a great situation and a lot of stupid decisions were made, especially with the spending of money and what they were doing. But we'll have to see what happens. There is something that seems to be don't you think there's something that seems to be happening right now now and nobody knows quite what it is.

Yeah, I've seen I mean, we have a lot of people that have been close to us that have been getting COVID again. I mean, they're not in the point where they're hospitalized, but I don't know if that may be happening across the country. But I want to talk to you about this because Joe Biden just announced that he's going to be funding a new vaccine. He wants everyone to get this vaccine. And we're hearing about a lot of complaints from vaccine injury. To say a lot, it's like an understatement. Numerous the pharmaceutical companies have refused to release their data on vaccine side effects. But we've seen cases of myocarditis, blood costs, heart attacks, they're all increasing. The research has never been released. So will you demand that the vaccine companies, that the pharmaceutical companies release their vaccine data to the public so that we can see what they're actually seeing. About the side effects of this vaccine.

Well, they should do that. You know, we're all in this together, and they should be doing that. And frankly, anything new and I hadn't heard what he said yet, but anything new is going to be looked at very carefully. But they should be doing that. If they have facts, I mean, the facts are public, they should be made public immediately. People should understand that, and they should they should know what research is showing and what fact finding is. You know, this is now after the case. Don't forget when we started, nobody ever had any idea the word even the word pandemic. It was one hundred years ago, nineteen seventeen. That was the last time, and it was you know, it was a horrible thing. One hundred million people perhaps died, but you know, nobody thought that could happen again. It seemed like an ancient kind of a thing, you know, the plague. They talked about the plague, but we had our own plague. It was called COVID, it was called the chinavirus, and frankly, it was not It was what it did to the world, what that wuhan lamb and what came out of there, because it came out of the Wuhan Lamb. What that did to the world was unbelievable. Sixty trillion in damages, so many he did people millions and millions all over the world. What happened there was just incredible, horrible.

Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on the Tutor Dixon podcast. President Brighten, just a couple of days ago he said he is going to release a new vaccine that works. Those are his exact words, that works. I don't know if that's to indicate that he thinks the last vaccine didn't work. But the vaccine the pharmaceutical companies have been protected by the PREP Act, and that protects them until I think it's December twenty fourth when that sunsets. So once that sunsets, and then they can be held liable for any type of vaccine injuries. Will you tell the vaxer these companies that they must be honest about what has happened with this vaccine and do you believe that we should be starting a new vaccine at this point?

They have to. Let look, they have to be honest with the numbers of the fact. You know, they have an obligation to be honest and if they are going to hold back, that means they're holding back something that's not good. So it's good for them to be honest and people are going to understand it too.

That's exactly what they have to be.

Honest with THEE and they have to any information, they have to release it.

And that is not what we're hearing from this current administration. And mister President, I'm telling you there are people out there that are desperate to have you stand for them.

In that case, well we'll stand for them in many ways. Look at what's happening to the border, millions and millions of people. Look at what's happening to our cities. They're being overrun. But even before they were being overrun, the crime was overrunning the cities. I mean, there's never been anything like it. And I look at numbers from Chicago, from Detroit, from look at New York with all the thousands and thousands of people piling into the city that nobody even knows where they come from. Nobody knows where they come from. It is not as a society. It is not sustainable. Even as a society, it is not sustainable, and it's not even affordable. You get no country could afford the cost of what's going on right now. There's no country ever that could have afforded this.

You know, sir, In twenty sixteen, you talked to us in such a unique way because as moms, we really needed to hear that the economy was going to get back on track. And as business people, especially in the state of Michigan, we had to know that manufacturing would come back. Michigan is really dying. Manufacturing has left. The automotive industry has destroyed us. They are now talking about going on strike. What is your message to workers and suburban moms in states like Michigan.

Well, I did great with Michigan, and we wanted you know, I think we did better the second time than we did the first. But we had great success in Michigan, and I stopped the cars from moving out, you know, the car manufacturing from moving to Mexico. Michigan was thirty two percent before I got there, thirty two percent of its car production. A lot of it went to Mexico, and actually thirty two percent went to Mexico to be sacked. That's a tremendous thing to think, and now I understand it's that they're at it again. And now we're the concept, which is ridiculous, of all electric cars. They're going to be made in China. They're not going to be made here. So who's ever representing the United Auto Workers better get to work because and they better not support a Democrat because China is going to be making all of our cars very soon because of this all electric concept, which is ridiculous.

By the way, I mean the electric concept, it really it kills jobs regardless even if they don't leave. Even if you have a manufacturing facility here, it's much less manufacturing to put together an electric vehicle. And there's no engine. You have Tier one and Tier two suppliers across the state of Michigan that will just close. This is ridiculous. There's no proof that these electric vehicles will actually do anything good for the environment, and they're impossible to drive across the country. How do you battle this when the federal government currently tells us we have to have a electric vehicles.

Well, if you had all electric right now, you have virtually no change in your atmospheric gauge, So you think of it, if you had all electric. The problem with the electric they don't go long enough. They don't drive long enough, and you have to recharge. The recharging kicks forever. It's so ridiculous what they do. They're trying to hurt people. They want to take away your water. They want to restrict your sinks, they want to restrict your dish washers and your washing machines.

Your fans, your ceiling fan oh.

Yeah, everything, ceiling fans. Now, you're right. I heard that the other day. And your heaters, your heaters in the your house. If you have a great heater that really works well, you have to change it into a heater that's environmentally sound, that doesn't give you heat. You know, the whole thing is crazy. These people are crazy, and we're going to stop it. We are going to stop it. We're going to win, and we're going to turn it all around, and our country is going to be great again. We're a laughing stock all over the world. Our country is going to be great again. And you were really something you were to a friend of mine, and we worked hard together, and you really you put your heart into it and you did a good job and you respected a very respected person. Tutor.

Well, sir, I thank you, and I just want you to know that and I'll tell my viewers that you came to me and you said you got to talk differently about abortion, and we could not pivot, We could not pivot in time, and it really you were absolutely right, sir, and I hope that you are able to navigate that issue in twenty four and that we can win those women back because they are already putting out attack ads and it is not a fair issue for them to attack on.

Yep, that's what happened to you, and that's what happened to a lot of other people and didn't happen to me, because you know, there is a way of talking about it. You know, they're the radicals. They're the radicals, and you have to explain it. And I think exceptions are very important that I think you need the exceptions. You and I talked about.

That absolutely, and I think it's important for people to know that that's where you are. And I've heard a lot of folks talking about the idea of changing over policies to make it more family friendly. I know this is something that when you were in the administration, Ivanka worked very hard on federally allowing family leave and things like that. But what are your views on making it easier for adoption, trying to bring together some policies that help families, especially right now when it's so expensive to have a child.

Well, we're all for that. I think it's a great thing. It's one of the many things that we should be doing. We could be doing many many things having to do with that issue and having to do with other issues. We could be doing many many things, Toodor. And we're going to do them. And you know, they're common sense things. Actually they're not conservative, but they're not liberal, they're not anything. They're common sense. Like we have to close up the border, like we have to become energy and dependent. There's so many things, Tudor. And they're going against everything. They open borders, no energy, poverty, high interest rates. Look at the interest rates they hit seven and a half percent today. Nobody can buy a house anymore.

Absolutely so, really quick, sir, before I let Before I let you go, I will say that I have four children. It cost me five hundred dollars to get school supplies this year. The number one concern of moms right now is the grocery bills, school supplies, and gas. How do we get that economy back? What is your message about this, Well, we're going to drill.

You know the expression drill, baby, drill, and we're going to drill, and we're going to have so much energy the prices are going to be tumbling down. That's going to bring down inflation. Energy is what caused the inflation. And we'll bring the energy down now. Right now, energy is going up ver as I've said, I see it's at five dollars a gallon now in many places.

Again, is that why we had the best economy under President Trump?

We had the strongest economy that in the history of the world has never been an economy like we had pre COVID. Then we brought it back, you know, we brought it back from the drag of COVID or the China virus, depending on what you want to call it. But we brought it back. But we had the greatest economy in history. There's never been anything like we had. Everybody African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, everybody, women, men, and what they're doing now is just a shame. They're destroying this country. They're letting millions and millions and people come in from prisons, from mental institutions. Nobody has any idea who they are, where they're from. Last week, one hundred and twenty nine countries were represented. One hundred and twenty nine people just pouring into our country. We have no idea who they are, but we'll change it all very quickly, and we'll make it great. We will make America great again. We're going to do it. I said it once, and I did it, and now I'll do it again.

Sir. We appreciate it. I look forward to having a great economy again. We are so glad that you're still watching. I think it's important for the people listening to know that you're citing these facts because you watch every single day. You really love this kind When I started this interview saying that there's a side of you that is genuine and loving. That's the reason you can continue doing this. And I know you don't love talking about that side of you publicly because you think it doesn't matter, but it totally matters. That's who you are. That's why we have loved you so much as a president, and we wish you the best of luck in twenty twenty four. Thank you so much for being on here with me today.

Well, thank you very much. Tudor, and you're doing a great job, and the whole country appreciate it. Really. I mean I've been really appreciate it too, So I want to thank you very much. And you had a great father. By the way, I have to say, I got to know your father. He was a great man. He was a great gentleman.

That's the thing. I mean, you keep you remember these things. That's the thing that people say to me all the time. They're like, he remembered something about me. And I know that it's not because somebody prepped you for this. I know you genuinely remember these things about people. So thank you. Thank you for saying that.

I don't have prep. There's no prep. I just know you had a great father. You take care of yourself. Douder and thank you. Thank you.

Have a good day.

Thank you bye.
