   ‘Police, alone, can't do this:’ DC council member wants to fight violence with better operations

   In D.C., homicides are up 38% over last year, and carjackings with a gun are up more than 100%. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is calling for more police and officer presence in District neighborhoods. But At-Large Council Member Robert White doesn’t think more police is the solution. He thinks the devil is in the details and is proposing a new bill to stem rising crime by improving the city’s crime lab and emergency call center. On the show, Council Member White walks us through his bill — the Whole Government Response to Crime Act of 2023.

   Bob Brams — a Maryland man and once international lawyer — almost died after he was diagnosed with brain cancer and a surgery led to hemorrhagic stroke. He survived, but was in a coma for months. Brams is now years into recovery and out with a new book, “Forever Optimistic: Fighting Brain Cancer, Finding Your Best Path, and Leading a Life With Purpose.” He comes on the show with his wife Kim to talk about his story and why he’s fighting to find a cure to brain cancer.
