Hey, everybody. This is Heidi St. John. Welcome to the Heidi St. John podcast. Lots and lots of things to talk to you guys about today. The Trump crackdown on crime in D.C. is making the left lose their ever-loven minds. And I am absolutely here for it. I love the hypocrisy. This is Mailbox Monday.
