Summary
On this episode of The Right View, Lara reacts to President Trump’s visit to a Michigan manufacturing plant and the now-viral New York City–style hand gesture he made toward a heckler. Lara is joined by Tudor Dixon, host of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, to discuss the importance of bringing manufacturing back to America and how those policies have directly benefited the state of Michigan.
The conversation also focuses on why the upcoming midterm elections are critical, why voters should approach them with the same urgency as a presidential election, and why Michigan continues to be a key bellwether state in national politics.
Later in the show, Lara speaks with Steven Moore from the Ukraine Freedom Project. Steven shares firsthand insight from his time on the ground in Ukraine, what he has witnessed since the day 5 of the start of the war, and why the situation there remains so important for the United States and the world.

| 0:15.4 | Tonight, we're joined by Michigan's own and the host of the Tudor Dixon podcast, Tudor Dixon. Tudor, welcome back. |
| 0:22.9 | We love having you on. Michigan, obviously, your home state, we saw so much happen in Michigan |
| 0:31.0 | as it relates to President Trump in elections. I remember back to 2016, you know, all the way to |
| 0:37.2 | 2024. |
| 0:38.2 | It's been a very important state. |
| 0:40.4 | So tell me where you think Michigan and Michiganers stand with President Trump today. |
| 0:45.9 | And what do you think the biggest issues are that people in that state are concerned about, |
| 0:51.8 | especially as we're heading towards those midterms. |
| 0:55.1 | Yeah, well, first I want to say, I really do believe that Michigan is the state that will |
| 1:00.1 | determine which way elections go. I believe that's what happened in 2016. That is what happened. |
| 1:05.6 | What we just saw in 2024, I think as Michigan goes, goes the nation. And when you ask how people feel about the president |

| 1:18.3 | in general, but especially in the state of Michigan, bringing manufacturing back. And even having |
| 1:24.0 | the union leader. I mean, you've got Sean Fane who was like, oh, actually, this is, |
| 1:28.1 | this is pretty good for us. And so you see the big three automakers in the state of Michigan |
