The Tudor Dixon Podcast

What happens when a country embraces socialism—and could America be heading down the same road?
Tudor Dixon is joined by Manhattan Institute fellow and Venezuela native Daniel Di Martino, who shares firsthand insight into how socialism transformed his homeland and why he sees warning signs emerging in the United States. Di Martino explains why he believes Americans still have time to avoid Venezuela’s mistakes, but warns about rising government spending, debt, nationalization, and politicians promising increasingly expensive government programs.
Tudor and Daniel also tackle the battle over AI and data centers, including fears over electricity and water usage, whether data centers could actually lower property taxes and revitalize struggling communities, and why moratoriums could drive billions of dollars in investment elsewhere. Di Martino argues that America’s competition with China makes winning the AI and energy race even more critical.
Plus, they discuss Venezuela’s oil industry, America’s energy future, Marco Rubio’s record on Venezuela, and why Di Martino believes JD Vance is likely to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2028—even though he personally sees strengths in Rubio’s experience and consistency.

Tudor Dixon is joined by longtime Charlie Kirk friend and mentor Frank Turek for a powerful conversation marking the anniversary of Charlie’s assassination and examining the cultural battle over truth, faith, family, and freedom.
Turek discusses his new book, The War on Reality: Recovering Truth in a World That Celebrates Lies, which he dedicated to Charlie, and shares personal stories from the days leading up to Charlie’s death—including their private conversations about Christianity, government, marriage, Israel, and preparing for college campus debates.
Tudor and Turek also tackle socialism, cultural Marxism, DEI and “equity,” Hasan Piker, the decline of the nuclear family, transgender ideology, and why Christians cannot afford to disengage from politics and culture. Turek explains why he believes Charlie’s ultimate mission went far beyond politics: bringing young people closer to Christ and defending truth in a culture increasingly at war with reality.

Michigan’s 2026 elections could reshape who controls two of the most powerful offices in the state. Tudor Dixon sits down with Republican Attorney General candidate Doug Lloyd and Secretary of State candidate Anthony Forlini to discuss their campaigns, election integrity, public safety and their argument that government has become increasingly weaponized against the people.
Lloyd takes aim at Attorney General Dana Nessel’s record and explains how he says he would refocus the Michigan Attorney General’s office on fighting crime, supporting law enforcement, protecting victims and holding government accountable.
Forlini discusses his campaign for Michigan Secretary of State, his experience overseeing elections as Macomb County Clerk and his push for greater election transparency. The conversation also examines the battle over the Citizens Only Voting ballot initiative and the controversy surrounding hundreds of thousands of petition signatures submitted to put the proposal before Michigan voters.
Tudor, Lloyd and Forlini also discuss Gretchen Whitmer, Jocelyn Benson, Garland Gilchrist, crime and public safety, government overreach, small businesses, election administration and why the Attorney General and Secretary of State races could have consequences far beyond Michigan.
Can Republicans restore what Lloyd and Forlini describe as “law and order” and accountability in state government? Tudor gets their case directly from the candidates.

As America approaches the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Tudor Dixon sits down with 9/11 widower Giovanni Galante for a deeply personal conversation about loss, remembrance, patriotism, and his fight over the upcoming Ground Zero commemoration.
Galante lost his 29-year-old wife, Grace, who worked at the World Trade Center, on September 11, 2001. He recounts rushing toward the Twin Towers that morning in hopes of finding her, witnessing the chaos in Lower Manhattan, and eventually confronting the devastating reality that she wasn't coming home.
Twenty-five years later, Galante says America cannot allow the victims of 9/11—or the lessons of that day—to be forgotten. He discusses his effort to keep New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from participating in the anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero, arguing that the solemn commemoration should remain focused on the victims, survivors, and families who continue to carry the scars of September 11.
Tudor and Galante also discuss how 9/11 is taught to younger generations, the importance of preserving firsthand stories from that day, the political battles surrounding patriotism and national security, and why Galante believes Americans must once again take pride in their country.
Plus, Galante explains how listeners can support his petition and his effort to ensure the 25th anniversary remains centered on honoring those who were lost.

Jack Posobiec joins Tudor Dixon to sound the alarm over what he sees as the growing influence of socialism in America — and why conservatives may be fighting it the wrong way.
Posobiec, senior editor at Human Events and co-author of Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them), discusses the new edition of the book and argues that socialist politics are gaining traction with younger and middle-class Americans frustrated by the economy, jobs, immigration, and the political establishment.
Tudor and Posobiec examine the rise of socialist candidates across the country, including Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and discuss how economic resentment, institutional influence, and political loyalty can fuel revolutionary movements.
They also take a closer look at El-Sayed’s political record and past views, the battle over the nuclear family, the legacy of COVID-era government power, political violence, Charlie Kirk, Luigi Mangione, and why Posobiec believes Americans need to understand the tactics historically used by communist and socialist movements before those ideas gain even more political power.
Plus, Posobiec explains what history — from the Soviet Union and communist China to Eastern Europe — can teach Americans about revolutionary politics and why he believes the United States is facing a critical ideological battle.
The new edition of Unhumans arrives September 29.
