EXTRA: Trump Federalizes DC Police & Dems' Heads Explode plus Admin Directs the Military to Take Out Terrorist Drug Cartels

In today's episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz: Federal Control of D.C. Police Trump invoked Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act to place the D.C. police under federal control.

Deploying the National Guard. Appointing a federal commissioner for the D.C. police. 2.

Code Section 49-49 and the 1973 Home Rule Act. Reference to Posse Comitatus Act and DOJ opinions that D.C. is legally distinct from other cities. 3.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Aug 11 2025

Federalizing the DC Police President Donald Trump announces a major federal intervention in Washington, D.C. crime policy. Trump invoked Section 740 of the Home Rule Act, placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under federal control and deploying the National Guard to restore law and order. This bold move is framed as a response to the surging violent crime rates in the nation’s capital, which the hosts compare unfavorably to global cities like London, Paris, and Mexico City. Clay and Buck provide detailed analysis of the 2024 DC murder rate, which reached 27.5 per 100,000 residents, nearly triple that of Mexico City and far higher than cities like Bogotá, Lima, and Havana. They argue that Democratic leadership in DC, including the City Council and Mayor Muriel Bowser, has failed to address public safety, and they highlight the political resistance Trump faces despite the urgency of the crisis. OH Rep. Jim Jordan Congressman Jim Jordan joins the show to support Trump’s actions and discuss the legal and legislative implications of federalizing DC law enforcement. Jordan also touches on sports broadcasting blackouts, the SCORE Act, and efforts to protect college athletics and Olympic sports from over-commercialization and regulatory confusion. Boy Who Cried Wolf Clay and Buck challenge the narrative that Trump’s crackdown is racially motivated, asserting that effective law enforcement benefits all communities, especially law-abiding black residents. They draw parallels to Rudy Giuliani’s successful crime reduction in New York City and argue that Democrats are boxed into defending indefensible positions simply because Trump is the one proposing solutions. The DC Police Union’s endorsement of Trump’s intervention is presented as further evidence that the city’s law enforcement infrastructure is overwhelmed and in need of federal support. The conversation also explores broader political themes, including the hypocrisy of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who criticizes Texas redistricting while defending Illinois’ heavily gerrymandered congressional maps. The hosts highlight how Democrats manipulate crime statistics and media narratives to avoid accountability, and they discuss the disproportionate impact of crime on minority communities. Listener feedback reinforces the frustration with lenient prosecution policies and the failure to address juvenile crime effectively. Race Communism  Clay and Buck critique the Democratic Party’s reliance on race-based politics, arguing that Trump’s policies are resonating with Black and Latino voters, particularly on issues like crime and deportation. They cite growing disillusionment with movements like Black Lives Matter, which they claim have led to increased violence and failed to deliver meaningful change. The discussion includes data on rising support for Trump among Black men, with one in five reportedly voting for him in 2024—a shift the hosts describe as “transformative.”   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
