Introduction and Overview

In the second hour of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Tudor Dixon steps in to host while the regular hosts are on vacation. Broadcasting live from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Tudor engages with co-host Kyle Olson from The Midwesterner and later welcomes special guest Linda McMahon, the United States Secretary of Education. The episode delves into pressing national issues such as border security, immigration policies, the controversial ICE Block app, election interference allegations, and significant developments in Title IX compliance within educational institutions.

Border Security and Immigration Policies

Current State of the U.S. Border

Tudor Dixon opens the discussion by highlighting Michigan's role as a northern border state adjacent to Canada. He references recent comments by Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristine Ohm, emphasizing efforts to reduce border crossings. Dixon underscores the administration's successes, noting decreased border crossings, lower egg and gas prices, and legislative victories under President Trump.

• Tudor Dixon [01:38]: "Trump, let's face it, President Trump has had an incredible week. He's got border crossings down to like nothing. He just got the big beautiful bill signed through the Senate."

Anecdote on Deportation and Public Safety

Dixon shares a disturbing account from Kristi Noem about the deportation of a cannibal, illustrating the administration's focus on removing dangerous individuals from the country.

• Tudor Dixon [02:37]: "She said that they had deported somebody who was a cannibal, and she got a call while they were getting him out of the country, that on the way out of the country he started trying to eat himself and had to immediately be taken for medical attention."

Media Narrative vs. Administration Actions

Kyle Olson counters mainstream media narratives by asserting that the administration targets violent criminals, contrasting with the media's focus on family separations and undocumented workers.

• Kyle Olson [02:50]: "The Trump administration is rounding up these, you know, killers, rapists, murderers. And getting them out of their country. Getting them out of the country."

ICE Block App Controversy

Introduction to ICE Block

Dixon transitions into discussing the controversial ICE Block app, introduced by CNN as a tool to track Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in real-time. The app allows users to anonymously report ICE sightings, purportedly to avoid officer interactions.

• Claire Duffy [04:34]: "Users can tap the map to report an ICE sighting in their area. And then everybody who uses the platform within five miles of that sighting will get a push alert."

Host's Critique

Dixon expresses strong disapproval of the app, labeling it as a tool that incites confrontation and chaos, thereby endangering law enforcement officers.

• Tudor Dixon [04:19]: "This is insane to me. She's pushing this like she's selling it... These people are chasing after them with cars. They could get hurt."

Proposed Counteractions

Listener Bryce suggests countering the app's effectiveness by flooding it with false ICE sightings, a tactic that Dixon supports as a means to protect law enforcement.

• Bryce [36:21]: "We should all download the app and start randomly posting locations, false locations of ICE sightings."

• Tudor Dixon [36:48]: "This app is called ICE Block. Stop ICE from doing their jobs."

Election Interference Allegations

Claims of Chinese Involvement

Dixon introduces claims by John Solomon regarding Chinese interference in the 2020 U.S. elections. Solomon alleges that nearly 10,000 fake driver's licenses from China and Hong Kong were intercepted, intended for battleground states, suggesting a deliberate plot to influence voter registration.

• John Solomon [15:56]: "Thousands, actually almost 10,000 fake driver's licenses coming from China and Hong Kong... they were going to the battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Pennsylvania."

Suppression of Intelligence

Solomon further accuses the FBI of suppressing this intelligence to maintain a narrative of no foreign intrusion, revealing that internal documents suggest motivations to protect the administration's image.

• John Solomon [18:10]: "They suppressed a potentially true round of intelligence from the American people... to keep a false story going."

Implications for Future Elections

Dixon connects these revelations to the 2024 election, highlighting a case where a Chinese national voted under a fake identity at the University of Michigan, raising concerns about the integrity of voter registrations.

• Tudor Dixon [16:50]: "In the 2024 election, we know that a Chinese national at the University of Michigan voted... How many people actually voted with these fake IDs in 2020?"

Landmark Title IX Agreement with the University of Pennsylvania

Introduction to the Agreement

Dixon introduces Linda McMahon, who announces a significant agreement between the Department of Education and the University of Pennsylvania. This agreement addresses gender fairness in sports, specifically preventing men from competing in women's sports.

• Linda McMahon [20:08]: "University of Pennsylvania will restore records, titles and recognitions to female athletes."

Background and Investigation

McMahon details the investigation initiated after President Trump's executive order banning men from women's sports. The case of Riley Gaines, a female athlete who tied with a male competitor, exemplifies the unfair treatment and violation of Title IX.

• Linda McMahon [20:08]: "Riley Gaines was competing against Leah Thomas in swimming at the University of Pennsylvania and tied with Leah in their race."

Terms of the Agreement

The University of Pennsylvania agreed to several measures, including restoring records, issuing public apologies to affected female athletes, adopting biology-based definitions for gender, and committing to Title IX compliance to retain federal funding.

• Linda McMahon [25:27]: "They will adopt biology based definitions for the words male and female. They will rescind all guidance that violates or is inconsistent with Title IX."

Impact and Future Enforcement

This agreement sets a precedent for other universities, with the Department of Education emphasizing the potential withholding of federal funds for non-compliance. McMahon expresses optimism that this case serves as a roadmap for nationwide adherence to Title IX.

• Linda McMahon [28:47]: "This settlement and this agreement will become the prototype for the universities to come on board."

Listener Engagement and Closing Remarks

Celebrating Independence and Listener Stories

As Independence Day approaches, Tudor Dixon engages with listeners, sharing heartfelt stories such as Donald from Lansing, Michigan, whose wife recently became a U.S. citizen. This segment underscores the personal impacts of immigration policies.

• Donald [34:21]: "My wife is a legal immigrant from the Philippines... this Independence Day is her very first national birthday party as an American."

Final Thoughts on National Security and Enforcement

The episode concludes with a reaffirmation of commitment to national security and supporting law enforcement against immigration challenges. Dixon emphasizes the administration's dedication to protecting the country from foreign threats and maintaining lawful immigration practices.

• Tudor Dixon [37:40]: "President Trump has said, go do your jobs. Go get the bad people out of our country. And that's exactly what they're doing."
