Take Over D.C.!

Charlie Kirk
About this episode

After former DOGE staffer "Big Balls" got beaten up by a youth gang on the streets of D.C., President Trump is talking about revoking the city's home rule and putting it under direct federal control. Charlie talks about the merits of that plan and the Democrats' continuing policy of siding with criminals over law-abiding Americans. Then Russia Hoax victim Gen. Michael Flynn joins to talk about what Russiagate accountability looks like and how President Trump can secure an America-first win in Ukraine.
