Washington DC’s highly touted 25–28% drop in violent crime is highly dubious, seeing as how murder stats are up while officials claim overall violence is down. 

Citing an NBC4 Washington report and a headline about a suspended DC police commander, Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss police-union allegations that police supervisors reclassified shootings, stabbings, and carjackings as lesser offenses (e.g., “felony assault” or “injured person”) to keep “violent” crime numbers low. 

The two add that even if citywide stats showed declines, residents still feel unsafe—pointing to carjackings—and criticize political responses including Trump’s federal intervention in DC policing. They argue resources should go to housing, mental health, and addiction treatment rather than mass incarceration, while questioning the integrity of DC crime reporting.

Plus segments on MSNBC hosts praising Trump’s DC police takeover, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s secret plan for “Greater Israel,” the national debt exceeding $37 trillion for the first time and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen telling a protester he would be arrested in Russia — as he’s being arrested.
