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.
8am: Additionally, revised numbers show that the U.S. added almost a million fewer jobs than previously reported over the 12-month period ending in March. It should be pointed out that most of that period was during the Biden administration. Courtenay Brown joins The Weekend to discuss how this impacts the U.S. economy.
9am: Democrats are signaling they are ready for a fight as we're just a couple weeks away from the government shutdown deadline. But, President Trump is hoping to push it down until early next year. Rep. Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania, who also serves as a ranking member on the House Budget Committee, joins "The Weekend" to discuss.
