You ready?

I was born ready. Hi, it's Sarah Isger, and this is a special crossover.

Advisory Opinions Dispatch Podcast, we will be discussing the attempted

assassination of former president Donald Trump with Jonah Goldberg,

Steve Hayes, and of course special guest David French.

All right, let's talk about what we know, what's been debunked. At this point, we are recording late on Sunday night.

The attempted assassination happened just over 24 hours ago.

There was so much in the immediate aftermath, some of which turned out to be accurate.

Of course, the initial story was that Donald Trump had a bullet grays his year.

That turned into maybe he was hit by glass from the teleprompter.

It's the second story that turned out to be false in that case.

It was in fact a bullet that grazed Donald Trump's ear with an incredible photo captured

by New York Times photographer that actually showed the bullet moving by his head in that instant.

We also know the identity of the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20 years old from nearby the area in Pennsylvania.

He of course was killed by Secret Service at the time.

We don't have a motive. We don't know much about this guy.

It appears he wasn't on social media.

Initial reports that he was a registered Republican appear to be true.

Initial reports that he had donated $15 to Joe Biden's inaugural committee

through Act Blue appear to be false. So again, just a whole lot that we still don't know on motive or anything else like that.

But boy, that hasn't stopped people from speculating. So I want to start with you Steve. I think

there's a lot for us to talk about in terms of responsible rhetoric, lowering the temperature.
