Episode Details

National Guard troops are rolling out across D.C. on a high-impact “Ride the Rails” mission, stepping in to stop assaults, disarm threats, and save lives — from med emergencies to overdose interventions. Since August 2025, they’ve handled nearly 800 medical calls, reunited 43 lost kids with families, assisted police 500 times, and saved lives with Narcan over 300 times. Critics question the cost, but Gen. Blanchard says new housing cuts will slash expenses by half — and they’re staying through 2029.
