Aaron McIntire covers President Trump’s invocation of Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, federalizing D.C.’s police and deploying the National Guard to combat crime. Joined by Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel, Trump cites D.C.’s homicide rate (27.3 per 100,000) as a national embarrassment, comparing it unfavorably to New York and L.A. Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum defends Mexican illegals’ "contributions" to the U.S. economy while blaming America’s drug consumption for fentanyl issues. JD Vance details redistricting and a new census to correct 2020 errors, and Aaron warns that Republican inaction could cede permanent control to Democrats.
