Summary

Michael comments on the importance of current security measures at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and similar major events, emphasizing their necessity for future safety. He questions whether the backlash against President Trump over his decisions on the war in Iran is surprising, given that previous presidents were also pressured to address Iran’s regime. Bruce Blakeman is seen as a strong contender for the New York governor’s race. Lee Zeldin nearly won in 2022 due to Governor Hochul’s missteps, but ultimately fell short. Michael believes Bruce Blakeman’s visibility at events and on the streets will be crucial for his campaign’s success.
