Donald Trump has sent the National Guard into Memphis. But will it reduce crime—or just serve as political theater?
In this episode of The People’s Cabinet, Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) joins Dan Koh to break down what’s really happening on the ground:
– Why Trump’s deployment is being called a “military occupation”
– How poverty drives crime—and what actually works to reduce violence
– The lessons from Baltimore and Memphis on youth investment, community programs, and public safety that lasts
– Why Democrats must fight harder against authoritarianism—and how citizens can re-engage even when they’ve lost faith in politics
At stake isn’t just public safety in Memphis—it’s the future of democracy, accountability, and whether solutions that actually work will ever get the support they need.
🎙️ Listen now to hear a candid conversation on crime, politics, and the fight for real change.
