Welcome back, everyone to a new episode of Your Wrong with Molly Hemingway, editor-in-chief of the Federalist and David Harsani, senior writer at the Washington Examiner. If you'd like to email us, please do so at Radio at the Federalist.com. We'd love to hear from you. Molly, you're in Colorado this week. I am. Home State. Is it for pleasure or work? It's for the funeral of my uncle. I mentioned a couple weeks ago that my uncle died.

So it's just a quick visit out here for that.

Sorry to hear.

Condolences.

Let's jump in and start talking about the National Guard being deployed to the war zone,

the dystopian hellhole of Washington, D.C.

What do you make of it? Like, obviously, I think that, you know, I don't live, D.C. What do you make of it?

Like, obviously, I think that, you know, I don't live in D.C. anymore, but I do visit on

occasion.

And to me, it does seem like the place has gone downhill.

Starting with Union Station, which was once a pretty vibrant sort of place, I think,

bookstores and all kinds of shops and a lot of people around to a place

now that's kind of like a little scary sometimes, especially if you're there certain parts of

the day. But then even when you go outside, it's just not the same place. I don't think. I don't talk

about crime stats in a minute. But anyway, do you think it needs the National Guard to be fixed?

What do you make it the whole thing?

So I have lived, I lived in D.C. proper for 15 years.

And then we moved just outside of D.C.

And I still work in D.C. most days.

And one of the things I thought was really interesting is that when I first moved to Washington, D.C., I lived at 10th and D. Northeast in Washington.

And there was a drug dealer who lived on my block, and he also was a pimp.

And let me just back up because to me this is somehow relevant.
