Tudor Dixon fills in for Clay and Buck, broadcasting live from NewsRadio 1300 WOOD Radio Studios in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Dixon, host of the Tudor Dixon Podcast on the Clay and Buck Podcast Network, is joined by political commentator Kyle Olson for a dynamic hour of political analysis and cultural commentary. They break down the rise of socialism in American politics, focusing on the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, a self-described socialist with a controversial background in Palestinian activism. Dixon and Olson critique his affiliations with Democratic Socialists of America, his support for Palestinian liberation, and his calls to defund the police, raising concerns about the implications for public safety, urban crime, and Jewish communities in NYC. Tudor comments on Michigan’s status as a northern border state and the challenges posed by illegal crossings from Canada. She highlights the Trump administration’s success in reducing border crossings and critiques the Biden administration’s immigration policies. A shocking anecdote involving a deported individual with cannibalistic behavior underscores the urgency of strong immigration enforcement. The conversation then shifts to a controversial new app called “ICE Block”, designed to alert users of ICE activity in real time. Dixon and her guest, Kyle Olson, express concern over the app’s potential to endanger law enforcement and obstruct ICE operations. They discuss the broader implications of such technology, including its use by activist groups and the potential for chaos during enforcement actions. A major segment of the hour is dedicated to a landmark Title IX enforcement action involving the University of Pennsylvania. U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon joins the show to announce a resolution that bars biological males from competing in women’s sports at the university. The agreement includes restoring records and titles to female athletes, issuing public apologies, and adopting biology-based definitions of “male” and “female.” This development is framed as a significant victory for women’s rights and fairness in athletics, fulfilling a key campaign promise from President Trump. Tudor breaks down the political drama surrounding the passage of the “big beautiful bill” in Congress, highlighting opposition from Rep. Thomas Massie and the potential impact on Donald Trump’s America First agenda. With the bill stalled due to concerns over the debt ceiling and government spending, Dixon emphasizes the importance of maintaining a Republican majority in the House to avoid future impeachment efforts and legislative gridlock. The segment also features criticism from Elon Musk, who threatens to primary Republicans supporting the bill, prompting pushback from GOP leaders who prioritize Trump’s endorsement. Dixon underscores Trump’s historic popularity among the Republican base and urges lawmakers to align with his policies to ensure continued momentum heading into the next election cycle.

Passed by a narrow 51-50 margin with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, the bill now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature, expected by July 4th. This hour dives deep into the bill’s key provisions, including a $5 trillion debt ceiling increase, hundreds of billions allocated for border security and national defense, and a projected $3.3 trillion budget deficit increase through 2034.

Lefty Language Games Analysis of the Senate’s passage of the “big, beautiful bill,” a major piece of legislation expected to stimulate economic growth, provide tax certainty, and enhance border security. The hosts emphasize the bill’s imperfections but argue its net benefits outweigh its flaws, especially in the context of a government that often lacks the political will to reduce spending. A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to the unsustainable trajectory of federal spending, with references to past efforts by figures like Ross Perot, Senator Ron Johnson, and Senator Rand Paul. The hosts critique both parties for failing to curb entitlement growth and highlight how slowing the rate of spending increases is misleadingly labeled as “cuts.” They also explore how artificial intelligence and productivity gains could potentially offset fiscal challenges, offering a rare optimistic note on economic innovation. The Art of the Possible The Big Beautiful Bill now heads back to the House, where the Freedom Caucus may voice opposition, but it’s expected to reach President Donald Trump’s desk for signature before the July 4th holiday. A major highlight of the hour is President Trump’s visit to “Alligator Alcatraz” in Ochopee, Florida, a remote airstrip facility intended for detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. Trump’s remarks emphasized deterrence, warning migrants against fleeing into the Everglades. The segment underscores the administration’s tough stance on immigration and sanctuary cities, with speculation that legal challenges may arise from cities defying federal deportation orders.

They also discuss Trump’s growing popularity within the Republican base, citing polling data that shows his approval surpassing even Ronald Reagan’s at a similar point in his presidency.
