Sean opens with a stark comparison of capital-city homicide rates and why President Trump is moving to federalize DC policing and deploy the National Guard. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich argues it’s a federal responsibility to keep the nation’s capital safe and slams “soft-on-crime” policies that favor criminals over victims. Later, Sean digs into disputed DC crime statistics and speaks with legal analysts about the administration’s authority under the Home Rule Act. The hour closes by previewing the Trump–Putin summit and whether Europe will finally step up on Ukraine.

Broadcasting into the news roundup hour, Sean previews President Trump’s Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin and plays new tape of Trump’s plan: press for a ceasefire, talk to Zelenskyy and European leaders, and push an “honorable” end to the war. Senator Lindsey Graham lays out what “winning” looks like—security guarantees, a lethal Ukrainian deterrent, and pre-invasion sanctions—while warning Trump will walk if Putin plays games. The discussion contrasts Biden-era policy with Trump’s tariffs and energy leverage that squeezed the Kremlin. It’s a candid look at outcomes if diplomacy fails and Plan B kicks in.

Sean broadcasts from Anchorage with Governor Mike Dunleavy, highlighting Alaska’s strategic location, outsized resources, and even a few “Life Below Zero”-style realities. They cover the Permanent Fund dividend, resource development, and why Alaska is a fitting backdrop for peace talks between Trump and Putin. Later, Sean speaks with Nick Begich on using U.S. energy and economic pressure to drive negotiations—and what success could look like for Ukraine, Russia, and Europe. Practical facts, local color, and big-picture geopolitics collide in America’s 49th state.
