Summary

Recently, President Trump announced he would crack down on crime in Washington, D.C. On Friday, he met with National Guard troops assisting with law enforcement, where he teased 'straightening out' other major cities like Chicago. Since the crackdown, D.C. has seen a decrease in crime; it has been eleven days since Monday without homicides. Former South Carolina Congressman and former federal prosecutor Trey Gowdy joins the Rundown to break down why police presence helps with crime prevention, the problem with cashless bail, and later Trey shares details about his new mystery thriller novel, "The Color of Death." Fewer couples are calling it quits, as U.S. Census Bureau data shows that divorce rates have been falling across the country, down 40 percent in the past four decades. At the same time that census data show marriage appears to be making a comeback, so what's behind the increase in "I do's"? University of Virginia sociologist and fellow at the Institute for Family Studies Brad Wilcox joins the podcast to explain what's behind the trend of couples staying together and the impact it will have on the future of families in America. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless" on Outkick, Tomi Lahren. Photo Credit: TreyGowdy.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
