Trump Is at a Crossroads on Crime Policy | 8/13/25

Trump’s decision to highlight the D.C. crime bubble and deploy the National Guard provides him with a chance to actually bring back Reagan’s views on crime. Sadly, Republicans have bought into the jailbreak agenda that is responsible for this crime wave. Today, I focus particularly on the problem of juvenile crime and the lack of deterrent. We’re joined by crime expert Sean Kennedy, who explains how urban police departments like D.C. are downgrading and not recording crimes, thereby allowing public data to show a drop in crime, which conflicts with the reality on the streets. He explains how well-funded “right-leaning” groups take Soros cash to push weak-on-crime laws in red states while feigning outrage over Soros prosecutors pushing the same policies. Finally, I offer over a dozen ideas for red states to get tougher on crime.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
