The Tudor Dixon Podcast

China's influence inside the United States may be far greater than most Americans realize.
In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor Dixon sits down with Michael Lucci, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of State Armor, to examine how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is allegedly expanding its influence through election interference, higher education, critical infrastructure, birth tourism, and state-level infiltration.
The conversation explores growing concerns over:
China's alleged efforts to influence U.S. elections
Birth tourism and the debate surrounding birthright citizenship
CCP influence at American universities and research institutions
National security risks involving data centers and critical infrastructure
Chinese ownership near U.S. military installations
Foreign influence in state governments and the judicial system
Solar infrastructure, energy security, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities
The Environmental Law Institute and environmental policy debates
Media influence, propaganda, and America's response to China's global strategy
Why state governments are becoming the front lines in protecting national security
Tudor and Michael also discuss the broader geopolitical competition between the United States and China, the importance of safeguarding American institutions, and why many believe the country is entering a new era of strategic competition with the CCP.

Why are nonprofit hospitals paying CEOs tens of millions of dollars while healthcare costs continue to soar? And why are activists pushing ranked choice voting across the country?
On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by Trent England, Executive Director of Save Our States and co-chair of the Stop Ranked Choice Voting Coalition, for a deep dive into two of the most important—and overlooked—issues facing Americans today. Together, they expose how taxpayer dollars flow into nonprofit hospital systems, why independent doctors are disappearing, how government regulations drive up healthcare costs, and what can be done to restore competition in medicine. They also break down the growing push for ranked choice voting, who is funding it, and why critics argue it threatens election transparency and voter confidence.

A disturbing new trend is spreading across America: "teen takeovers," where hundreds—and in some cases thousands—of teenagers organize through social media to descend on cities, overwhelm police, and create chaos.
In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Greenville, North Carolina Mayor P.J. Connolly to discuss how his city became one of the latest targets—and the decisive actions local leaders took to stop it.
Mayor Connolly explains how TikTok and other social media platforms are fueling these gatherings, why strong leadership and parental accountability matter, and how Greenville's curfew policy dramatically reduced the problem almost overnight. Tudor and Mayor Connolly also discuss the broader cultural questions surrounding parenting, mentorship, law enforcement, faith, and the responsibility communities have in guiding the next generation.
