In this episode, guest host Ben Whedon explores the significant transformations in Washington, D.C. following President Trump's federalization of the police force and the arrival of the National Guard with John Lott from the Crime Prevention Research Center as they discuss the dramatic decline in crime rates, the implications of recent legislative changes, and the ongoing challenges in maintaining safety in urban areas. Later, Ben welcomes Will Tanner, co-founder of the American Tribune, to discuss the alarming state of crime in America and its parallels to historical regimes like those in South Africa and Rhodesia. Tanner shares insights on the concept of 'anarcho tyranny,' examining how law-abiding citizens are increasingly marginalized while criminal elements operate with impunity. We delve into the implications of these dynamics on urban life, the political landscape, and the potential for change in America's cities.
