We'll be back with another edition of the Federalist Radio Hour.

I'm Emily Doshinsky, Culture Editor here at the Federalist.

As always, you can email the show at radioatthefederalist.com, follow us on Twitter at FDRLST.

Make sure to subscribe wherever you download your podcasts as well.

Today I'm joined by my colleague, Senior Editor, Christopher Bedford.

He's a senior editor of the Federalist.

He's also with Wright Forge, Chris.

Thank you so much for joining us.

Glad to be here.

Sorry for the sirens behind me.

I was going to say, if you're hearing sirens in the background, oh my gosh, Chris, is

your neighborhood under attack?

I mean, that could be the military is deployed across my neighborhood.

Once again, to once again deal with non-existent threats.

I shouldn't have brought it up because Chris' pet gripe is the security on Capitol Hill.

Generally, the crime and all of the political feeder on Capitol Hill.

So we'll segue away from that because it's always bad on state of the Union Day.

Go ahead.

There are no back up on our streets.

Crime is rampant.

There is unbelievable level of car jacking.

The murder is up, I think, like 200% of deadly crimes in the last couple of years.
