Trump Sends the Guard to Memphis — But What Actually Works?

Donald Trump has sent the National Guard into Memphis. But will it actually reduce crime—or is it just political theater?

In this episode of The People’s Cabinet, Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) joins Dan Koh to unpack:

– Why Trump’s order is being called a “military occupation”
– The real root causes of crime: poverty, wages, and youth opportunity
– What programs actually work to keep communities safe (like Boys & Girls Clubs, mental health access, and youth investment)
– How Baltimore cut homicides—and what Memphis can learn
– Why Democrats must fight harder, and how ordinary people can re-engage in politics

📌 At stake isn’t just public safety in Memphis—it’s the future of democracy and whether America invests in real solutions or more showmanship.
