Making Washington, DC Safe Again - This Week on Capitol Hill - 8-16-2025

As President DONALD J. TRUMP vowed during his landslide 2024 campaign, his administration has zeroed-in on violent criminals who rule the streets in D.C.; Assistant Attorney General HARMEET DILLON joins us to map out the tough new war on crime—noting she personally faced TWO attempted muggings while walking near The White House. Former Secretary of State MIKE POMPEO hopes the Trump/Putin summit will produce a cease fire that holds…but warns the Chinese Communist Party will be “in the room” with Putin…and says Russia’s war on Ukraine mirrors the unprovoked Hamas massacres on October 7th. Newsmax Washington correspondent JAMES ROSEN pulls back the curtain on “the Deep State in action” as revealed in newly-released Russiagate documents. And TONY PERKINS’ newest commentary decries the fact that the percentage of D.C.’s children living in homes without fathers is double the national average: “The city named for our Founding Father desperately needs fathers in the home.”All that ahead on Salem’s THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL, sponsored by AARP, releasing at 10AM Eastern Saturday on the Salem News Channel.
