The Tudor Dixon Podcast

Why is socialism suddenly becoming popular again in America—and what are the real consequences if it succeeds?
In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Dr. Anne Bradley, professor of economics at the Institute of World Politics and Vice President of Academic Affairs at The Fund for American Studies, to examine the resurgence of democratic socialism and why so many young Americans are embracing it.
The conversation explores why "free" government programs have become politically appealing, how envy and economic frustration fuel socialist movements, and why history repeatedly shows socialism leading to economic failure and government control. Tudor and Dr. Bradley also discuss the rise of crony capitalism, corporate welfare, regulatory barriers facing small businesses, and how government favoritism undermines entrepreneurship and opportunity.
Drawing from history, economics, and Tudor's own experience running for governor of Michigan, they explain the difference between free-market capitalism and government-controlled economies—and why protecting opportunity matters more than ever.

How safe are your children online?
In this powerful episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor Dixon sits down with Michael Villani, founder of Predator Poachers Long Island, to uncover the disturbing reality of online child exploitation and the predators hiding behind social media profiles. After recently helping expose a Meta engineer accused of attempting to exploit what he believed was a 13-year-old girl, Villani explains how his organization identifies suspected predators, works alongside law enforcement, and helps bring dangerous offenders to justice.
Michael pulls back the curtain on how online grooming really works, why predators often seek out children through popular apps, and the excuses they make when confronted. He also discusses the legal challenges investigators face, why some offenders receive surprisingly light sentences, and how parents can recognize warning signs before it's too late.

What happens when a violent repeat offender is repeatedly released instead of deported?
On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor speaks with Eileen Leahy, whose daughter—a New York emergency room physician—was allegedly assaulted twice by the same undocumented immigrant despite multiple arrests and an existing order of protection.
Leahy details her family's years-long fight for justice, alleging that prosecutors declined to pursue charges because of concerns about the suspect's immigration status. The conversation explores sanctuary city policies, ICE enforcement, repeat violent offenders, judicial accountability, and the impact these cases have on healthcare workers and public safety.
Tudor and Eileen also discuss high-profile crimes involving undocumented immigrants, the role of immigration enforcement, and the broader national debate over border security, crime, and protecting American communities.
