Summary

Sean opens with a stark comparison of capital-city homicide rates and why President Trump is moving to federalize DC policing and deploy the National Guard. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich argues it’s a federal responsibility to keep the nation’s capital safe and slams “soft-on-crime” policies that favor criminals over victims. Later, Sean digs into disputed DC crime statistics and speaks with legal analysts about the administration’s authority under the Home Rule Act. The hour closes by previewing the Trump–Putin summit and whether Europe will finally step up on Ukraine.
