Sean is joined by James Beard Nominated author, Rax King, to discuss her long-suffering hometown, Washington DC and the new trials it faces now that President DJT has decided to declare a crime emergency. The police have been federalized and the National Guard called in to suppress the lives of DC residents. How did this come to pass? What should we do about it? And how might DC be a portent of what we all might face soon enough?
