Show Notes
September 14, 2025; 7am: On Saturday night, the President took credit for Memphis’ reported drop in crime while reiterating the National Guard will be deployed to the city. The Governor of Tennessee supports this decision, but Memphis Mayor Paul Young and some local politicians argue it won’t be a long-term fix. Additionally, new reporting outlines the Pentagon’s plan to send a thousand troops on a policing mission in Louisiana’s “urban centers.” Former Congressman and Commanding General for the Illinois National Guard, Major General William Enyart, and Former Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the U.S. Department of Justice, Mary McCord, join “The Weekend” to discuss.
