The Tudor Dixon Podcast: AOC, Newsom & Hillary’s Biggest Political Meltdowns

Gavin Newsom mentioned he wrote a book, but the speaker suggested it only covered one side of his life, omitting details about his wealthy father funding his early ventures.

He's written a book. And I think it's like the book is telling one side of his life. Like, I lived with this mom who didn't have a lot of money. Don't mention that his dad was super rich and gave him all kinds of safaris to Africa and money to start a business.

The documentary, which is discussed as if it were a book or source material, explained the failure of the American food system and inspired the filmmakers to open an organic coffee shop and market. The conversation often referred to the documentary's insights as key knowledge points for the audience.

I'm hoping how to break our addiction to big food, because as I was watching their documentary, which I tell you, you should go watch this because it really does explain to you why you just can't eat one potato chip.

And that was what I wrote about an Alienated America going forward the biggest consequence of this and the biggest problem we have is that people aren't getting married and having kids.

Alienated America talked about how people are you know kind of not not making friends and not finding those social circles so how do we get people together again really belonging to other things is the key.

So I think your book Alienated America really leads to family on friendly policies I'm sure you've thought of this right it's uh those two things sort of go hand in hand um and I think solving one or working on solving one helps to solve the other which like so how do you suggest people start I guess is how do we get over these problems.

The book is about two things really. It's about politics and there's a whole lot of stories on the Trump 2020 from the Trump 2020 campaign that haven't been published or written about before. But it was also to tell the story of my decades-long struggle to beat alcohol, which I did in 2015, May of 2015.

If somebody picked up this book and flipped through it for 10 minutes and in those 10 minutes didn't take a drink, then it was worth writing.

Swing Hard in Case You Hit It, is something that my father used to say to me when I would leave the house to go to baseball practice every day.

And I would say that the best thing I can tell you is that in the in what's called the big book in the alcohol anonymous book, there's a list of promises. If you get sober, these things will happen to you in life and they're just different benchmarks really of how your life will improve.

And the other half is basically my promises. What came true for me? It's my life in politics, most of it on the 2020 presidential campaign working for President Trump. If I had not gotten sober, that part would not have been possible.
