Chicago Crime Crisis: Why Federal Intervention Works in DC

In this episode, John O'Connor breaks down a tale of two cities: Chicago and D.C. While Chicago's leaders resist federal help for a mounting crime crisis, D.C.'s mayor, Muriel Bowser, admits that cooperating with federal enforcement has led to a major drop in crime.

This is more than just a political debate—it's a real-world test of results versus resistance. Join us as we expose the political arrogance and misplaced priorities of leaders who choose politics over public safety, and discover why a "Law and Order" approach is the only proven solution.
