Trump’s triple win: Putin peace push, D.C. crime crackdown, ICE collars worst criminals.

Episode 51 of The Unknown Podcast delivers a no-holds-barred breakdown of three major victories for President Donald Trump — moves that co-host Richard Luthmann says mark the dawn of a “New American Golden Age.” In the Current Events segment, Luthmann and co-host Michael Volpe dissect Trump’s headline-making week with their trademark mix of firebrand rhetoric and skeptical analysis.

First up is Trump’s high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, set for Friday. Luthmann frames it as a Godfather-style sit-down: a direct demand for an immediate Ukraine ceasefire, backed by the threat of serious consequences if Putin refuses. “Even Trump’s detractors will be the first to say that Putin and Trump are bosses,” Luthmann says. Volpe isn’t convinced, calling it a risky move that could legitimize Putin without concessions.

The second win is Trump’s unprecedented federal takeover of policing in Washington, D.C. Citing skyrocketing violence, Trump has assumed direct control to restore order. Luthmann blasts local leadership for “abusing home rule” and failing to protect residents. Volpe pushes back, warning of constitutional dangers and the slippery slope of federal intervention in local law enforcement. Luthmann counters bluntly: “Tell that to the dead.”

Finally, the hosts tackle Trump’s crackdown on the “worst of the worst” criminal aliens. A new Department of Homeland Security initiative publishes weekly lists naming violent felons caught by ICE — including murderers, rapists, and gang members who were still at large until Trump’s agents moved in. Luthmann applauds the zero-tolerance approach, saying these predators deserve the harshest justice, while Volpe concedes Trump is catching far more “bad hombres” than previous administrations, though he questions the aggressiveness of the methods.

From Moscow to the streets of D.C. to America’s border enforcement, The Unknown Podcast paints a portrait of a president delivering on promises with unapologetic force. For Luthmann, these wins prove Trump is steering the country toward safety, strength, and victory. For Volpe, they’re a mix of bold moves and dangerous precedents. The debate is sharp, the stakes are high, and the conversation is pure Unknown — fearless, unfiltered, and guaranteed to stir the pot.
