The Takeout with Major Garrett, 8/11/25

President Trump announces that his administration will take control of DC's police department and deploy the National Guard to the nation's capital. Scott MacFarlane discusses how long the President has law enforcement control. With the price of electric bills increasing across the country, states urge tech companies responsible for building data centers to pay their share in creating energy. Ari Peskoe from Harvard Law School's Electricity Law Initiative joins "The Takeout" to analyze how these data centers impact consumer prices. Plus, Major interviews author Stephen Starring Grant on his new book "Mailman" and how the pandemic led him to work for the US Postal Service as a letter carrier. Grant tells all about his former profession, challenges he faced on the job as well as what it taught him about community and public service. All that and more on The Takeout!
