| 0:27.5 | we are going to be talking about what ended up being the not White House correspondent dinner. Of course, |
| 0:33.0 | a lot of us were watching live as the event unfolded. Of course, the final situation ended with the attacker, |
| 0:41.0 | the alleged potential shooter, being detained. And now we're going to have some big updates |

| 0:52.0 | There's a lot of details that are just coming out this morning.

| 2:07.5 | the third attempt, but remember, there's been a lot of others, even that did make the news, |
| 2:11.8 | even back in February, someone that broke into Mar-a-Lago, had a shotgun, had a gas can, was taken out by security at Mar-a-Lago. |
