Join the conversation with TJ Smith. In this episode, we dive into the National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C., and the contrasting roles of federal officers. Tensions are high as political motivations intersect with public safety concerns, raising questions about the necessity and impact of such deployments. Alongside, we explore the ongoing struggle with crime perception in Baltimore and discuss potential strategies for enhancing community safety while unpacking the notable comments from Governor Moore on the national stage. Additionally, we dissect the implications of the White House's involvement in curating exhibits at the Smithsonian Museums, navigating the fine line between historical accuracy and political influence. Simultaneously, we examine the challenges of enacting Universal Basic Income programs in communities and their potential transformative effects, shedding light on the broader implications for local economies and welfare.
