"Washington, D.C. is under federal control as President Trump invokes the Home Rule Act and deploys 800 National Guard troops to take back the streets — a move praised by some as a long-overdue cleanup and slammed by others as authoritarian overreach.

Brian, Rachel, and Daniel join Artie to break down the real stakes, the political optics, and what each side hopes to gain. From law and order in the capital to morality in global negotiations, this episode pulls no punches.
