President Donald Trump c⁠racked down on crime⁠ in the nation’s capital this week. On Monday, he declared a state of emergency in Washington, D.C., through an executive order, temporarily placing the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control. He also deployed more than 800 National Guard troops, resulting in over 100 arrests so far.

⁠Trump’s move⁠ has us wondering: Has it always been this easy to clean up our city?

We break it all down on today’s episode of “Problematic Women," and share some of our own wild encounters with crime in D.C.

This week wasn’t just heavy on politics—it was packed with pop culture wins.

⁠Taylor Swift⁠ made her podcast debut on “New Heights,” hosted by NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, crashing the livestream in the process. One segment in particular has us buzzing about the political implications of the ⁠“trad” trend⁠, and if Swift could destigmatize that.

Meanwhile, ⁠Demi Lovato⁠ surprised fans by joining the Jonas Brothers on tour—an epic Camp Rock reunion. More than that, her appearance exemplified what being clean from the woke-mind virus looks like. Not long ago, she was a short-haired feminist using they/them pronouns and battling addiction. Today, she’s a healthy, happy, straight newlywed—back on stage and performing at her best. 

We’re joined by Emily Jashinsky, D.C. correspondent for UnHerd news site, host of “After Party with Emily Jashinsky,” a new podcast from the Megyn Kelly podcast network, and ⁠pop culture⁠ aficionado. She shares her take on Trump’s crime crackdown and gives her unfiltered thoughts on these big pop culture moments.
