While Washington, D.C., residents are enjoying feeling safe on the streets of their community once again, angry middle-class suburban protesters want the National Guard to leave the crime-ridden city. When Vice President
JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the National Guard troops at Union Station this week, protesters used their First Amendment rights to express their opposition to the Trump administration’s actions.
There were over 180
homicides in Washington in 2024. If it were a state, it would have the highest homicide rate in the nation. But Washington’s anti-law enforcement protesters appear more consumed by a political agenda than the safety of those who live and work in the city.

On this week’s edition of “
Problematic Women,” we discuss the radical Left’s bizarre campaign against the Trump administration’s efforts to improve safety in the city.
Also on today’s show,
President Donald Trump is working to secure a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, which might explain why Trump made fewer public appearances this week following his meeting with European leaders on Monday.
And Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese joins the show to give us an inside look into Air Force One and the press briefing room of the White House.
Plus, California Democrat
Gov. Gavin Newsom is flooding social media with memes. His office claims it’s part of a campaign to show the Trump administration how silly its own meme game is, but no one is buying it. Newsom is playing the meme game because it works.
And the Travis Kelce photoshoot is … well, we’ll let you decide.
All this and more on this week’s show!
