Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast. I'm excited today because we have Ashley Hayek with us.

0:05.9

She is the executive director of America First Works and a former 2020 Trump campaign

0:12.4

coalitions director, but you might not even know what America First Works is because it was

0:17.8

working so hard for you with so many different things. And that's why I wanted

0:21.9

to bring Ashley on today so that you could kind of brag on what your organization has done. We have a

0:27.5

huge win. We're all super excited. And people are like, how did it happen? And you know that. So welcome to

0:32.9

the podcast. Yeah, thank you for having me. And I think it's incredible because we heard from the liberal media for months that Trump had no ground game, Trump had no coalition, Trump had nothing.

And I'm standing there with Michael, and I'm looking there's Tulsi Gabbard and RFK and Dr. Phil and Hulk Hogan and Elise Tophonic and all of these in Tiffany Justice from Moms for Liberty.

1:41.3

There's all these amazing people and it's such a diverse coalition, but it's not what the left ever wants to talk about. They just want to call us all, you know,

1:47.9

sexist and racist. Well, and it's not the coalition that they had. They had a bunch of celebrities.
