  • Wasteful Spending: McMahon identified significant waste in the Department of Education, particularly in teacher training programs focused on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) rather than core educational skills.
  • Educational Philosophy: She emphasized a return to basics like reading and arithmetic, and the importance of aligning education with community and industry needs.
  • Technology in Education: McMahon highlighted the need for modernizing education with technology, including AI, to provide personalized learning experiences.
  • School Choice: She strongly supported school choice, including charter schools, homeschooling, and magnet schools, to ensure that education fits the needs of each child.
  • Parental Involvement: McMahon stressed the importance of parental involvement in education and the need for parents to advocate for their children's education at local and national levels.

  • Border Security: The interview covered the administration's efforts to secure the border, reduce illegal crossings, and deport criminal aliens. McLaughlin highlighted the significant decrease in border crossings and the administration's commitment to operational control of the border.
  • Sanctuary Cities: McLaughlin addressed the issue of sanctuary cities and the challenges they pose to ICE's efforts to detain and deport criminal aliens. She emphasized the need for cooperation between local authorities and federal immigration enforcement.
  • Future Plans: The administration plans to increase deportation numbers, secure agreements with other countries to take back their nationals, and ensure that the legal immigration system is not abused.
