The Crooks in DC | The Roundtable Ep. 280

Trump invokes the Home Rule Act of 1973 to clean up the nation’s crime-ridden capital, temporarily wresting control of the DC Metropolitan Police from local authorities. He’s fed up with the crooks in DC, though what to do with the ones in Congress is anybody’s guess. Meanwhile in Canada, medically assisted suicide has spiraled out of control just as its critics said it would, becoming a major driver of demographic change and underscoring a culture of despair. This week, the guys are joined by Andrew Beck to discuss troubles in DC and the Great White North, as well as the uncovering of now-Senator Adam Schiff’s authorization for a baseless 2017 Russiagate intel leak aimed at dragging Trump’s reputation. Plus: media recommendations!
