08/25/25 - Hour 1 – Washington, D.C. Goes 12 Days Without a Murder
Published 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Scott looks at Washington, D.C. going 12 consecutive days without a murder following President Trump’s invocation of emergency powers to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National Guard. The campaign, which includes over 1,000 arrests and large drops in violent crimes like carjackings, has been praised by some officials as restoring public safety, but has also drawn criticism from local leaders and residents concerned about federal overreach and military-style policing. Scott asks listeners why we are questioning this when it is working?
