New crime data shows that Washington, D.C. has seen major drops in crime only a week after Trump federalized law enforcement in the city. The move is giving the capital’s citizens more freedom and offering a glimpse of what could be possible in America’s most dangerous cities.

On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay break down Trump’s takeover of D.C. policing, why crime numbers are falling so quickly, and what this bold federal intervention means for the future of America’s capital city.

Tune in to hear their discussion!
