Guarding The Bluff City: The National Guard BLOCKED For Now
EPISODE 23 • SEASON 3 00:15:02

This week on Andre The Podcast, we break down the fast-moving legal battle over the National Guard’s presence in Memphis. A Tennessee judge has temporarily blocked the deployment, saying Governor Bill Lee may have exceeded his authority — and now the state is fighting back with an appeal.


In this episode, Andre explains what led to the deployment, why the court stepped in, and what this tug-of-war means for public safety, community trust, and the balance of power between state and local leaders. With Memphis at the center of a national conversation on crime and constitutional limits, we take a look at a moment that could shape future law-enforcement decisions across the country.


Tune in for a clear, grounded update on a story that impacts not just Memphis, but every community navigating safety, law, and accountability.
