This is The Tudor Dixon Podcast, and we are looking into the future today. It's not pretty right now.

So we are not going to lie, we're not going to sugarcoat it, we're not going to try to make you feel better, but we are going to show you what the Democrats are doing, and they're not sugarcoating it actually. Even when the votes were still being counted, they were already making their threats. And actually, if you go back to a few weeks ago, Senator Elissa Slotkin had already made us a threat. She was on stage at the University of Chicago, and she was going after young people who might come out and think that there could be opportunity in the Trump administration. She wanted people, young people who thought, maybe I'll go into politics on the right, to think, no, that could bring me a lot more problems. So interesting because the problems are like legal problems. She wants you to think you are going to end up in prison or you are indicted if you work for a Republican. It's sick, but this is who they are. So we have a young man here with us today who put out the statement, actually took the recording, put it out on social media, and people started to see who the Democrats actually were. His name is Michael Bicksel, and we are going to talk to him about Elissa Slotkin's threat. But first, last night, there were other threats. I mean, talk about sore winners. The minute they won, they started threatening. I think this is actually the plan all along, though. Win and destroy. If we were actually listing, that's why Elissa Slotkin said it so early. It was win and destroy. So voters think Democrats will deliver all this free stuff, but that free stuff never actually comes. Remember when they were going to pay back student loans, and then they just couldn't do it, that didn't actually come. But all of those people voted for them because they were getting that. They were going to get free college. That didn't happen. They didn't even talk about it this time because the voters don't matter now. They have the power. That was what they wanted. Democrats got the power, and that's what they were thirsty for, and now they're ready to weaponize it. Democrats didn't even wait until the ink bubbles dried on the ballots before they started tweeting out their devious plans. I mean, it really is quite shocking.

While the votes were still being counted, these tweets were flying. Senator Wyden from Oregon posted subpoenas, period. And I recently learned that when you put a period after just like one word like that, that means you're very serious about it. So he's on it, subpoenas. And then Congresswoman Ansari, she made two posts and it said, the first one, thank you, Mr. President. Our thank you will come in January with subpoenas. They love this. And then also, impeach Pete Hegsloff. And then Senator Markey from Massachusetts tweeted, this one is so graphy. They're going to need to plant new forests for all the subpoenas we'll be printing. I remember there was a time when they were like all about not using paper at all because of that. So now they're just throwing the whole new forest thing in our face.

Congressman Robert Garcia, so he's the incoming oversight chair. He simply tweeted out, Lawyer up. Lawyer up. Like these are threats. And then the Oversight Dem account that I'm assuming he also runs also said Lawyer up. They just announced it. They don't even try to hide it. They just announced government weaponization. There's no pushback at all. It's okay. We're going to weaponize the government now and we're going to put you through years of trial because we're going to have investigations. We are going to have impeachments. Look, we need to build our base back. We need to cultivate that garden.

We whiffed it this time. We really whiffed it. And I think it's personal touch. I really think that the voters are like a garden. You have to attend to them. You have to water them. You have to feed them. You have to love them and you have to talk to them. But we've been very corporate and declaratory with them.

We are like, we have common sense and the other side is crazy. But you know what? People feel crazy right now and they feel a little bit loved by the crazy side. They feel understood. We told them, if you don't like us, you're crazy. And they were like, you know what? Let's go have a beer with the people who say they're also crazy. And then they went and voted for them.
