Washington D.C. Crime & Urban Issues: Shearer discusses the high crime rates in Washington D.C., including muggings and shootings. He agrees with President Donald Trump's proposed actions to use the executive branch to control the city's police force for 30 days to clean up the crime. He compares the state of American cities, particularly those with liberal leadership, to cleaner cities in Russia and Belarus, based on videos he has seen from expatriates and independent travelers.
