It’s been a busy week in Washington, D.C., with the Supreme Court announcing some of the most highly anticipated rulings of the year. The Court’s decision to block President Biden’s $400 billion student loan forgiveness plan and end affirmative action in college admissions received mixed feedback across the country — as many Democrats voiced their disapproval of the decisions, while the GOP has shown support of the Court. Also in the headlines is new information on the Hunter Biden case. As IRS whistleblowers make further allegations of politicization and misconduct by the DOJ, many Republicans are calling for a freeze on the younger Biden’s plea deal until these claims are investigated. On the Rundown, California Congressman Darrell Issa joins to explain why he supports the Supreme Court’s decisions and how their ruling reflects where “liberal California has been for two decades.” He also discusses his thoughts on the Hunter Biden investigation and how he believes the U.S. government must change to restore Americans’ faith in the government and the country as a whole.
America’s Crime Crisis: When crime goes viral, law enforcement across the country has reported difficulties keeping it under control. TikTok has sparked some interesting trends over the years, from viral dances to whipped coffee, but now teens are filming themselves committing crimes like in “The Kia Challenge,” where some are posting tutorials on how to steal a car. The platform claims that it does not promote such content, but thousands of videos surfaced of people participating in “rob mobs,” car theft, and other criminal activities where the perpetrators appeared unafraid of the consequences. Former FBI Special Agent John Iannarelli and Professor of Criminal Justice at the University of Central Florida Raymond Suarez joins the Rundown to discuss the ways law enforcement tries to prevent such crimes, why teens do not fear the consequences associated with crime, and why users don’t understand how their actions online can land them into trouble.
Plus, commentary by former Congressman Jason Chaffetz, host of the Jason in the House podcast.
