Summary

Video has surfaced from the lethal attack that took place back in August on the blue line in Charlotte, N.C. Commuter Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee who fled war in her country in hopes of a new life in the United States, saw her life ended in a random act of violence from killer Decarlos Brown. Brown's own mother says that her son has serious mental issues and argues the court system should not have let him free. Congressman Mark Harris (NC-8) joins the Rundown to discuss the horrific incident and the practical solutions to stop this kind of crime. President Trump is expanding his crime crackdown, eyeing more cities after sending the National Guard to Washington, D.C. However, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is already warning of his plans to respond with legal challenges if the Trump administration targets Chicago. Senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation and former Assistant U.S. Attorney for D.C., Cully Stimson, joins the podcast to discuss President Trump's focus on addressing the issue of crime and how long the National Guard could remain on the streets. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless" on Outkick, Tomi Lahren. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
