Trump’s Takeover of Policing in the Nation’s Capital

from RealClearPolitics Podcast · host RealClear Media

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann discuss the latest developments in the Trump administration’s takeover of policing in the nation’s capital, including the D.C. government’s lawsuit to block the federal control of the Metropolitan Police Department. And they talk about Trump naming this year’s Kennedy Center honorees, including Sylvester Stallone, the members of KISS, and Gloria Gaynor, while Tom Cruise declines to attend due to scheduling conflicts. Then, they discuss a new CBS/Yougov poll on Americans’ attitudes toward tipping, plus they dish out their “You Cannot Be Serious” stories for the week. Next, Tom Bevan talks about Taylor Swift’s new album and her cultural impact with Ashley Moir, president of Ashley Moir Media and Taylor Swift super fan. And finally, Andrew Walworth talks with Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) about Governor Gavin Newsom’s plan to create five new Democratic congressional districts in California, and Kiley’s House bill that proposes stopping mid-cycle congressional redistricting nationwide.
