Episode Details

Steve sits down with Hans A. von Spakovsky, national legal expert, to unpack a fascinating and controversial development in Washington, D.C.: how a local advocacy group known as “Free DC” has emerged as a prominent face of anti-Trump resistance in the nation’s capital, pushing back against federal involvement in local affairs under President Trump’s second term. Von Spakovsky offers his legal perspective on what this movement represents, how grassroots political activism interacts with federal authority and the rule of law, and why understanding groups like Free DC matters to every American watching national politics unfold.
