Summary

Another attempt on President Trump’s life at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has exposed a chilling new reality: the "ordinariness" of political radicalization in America today. Ben Domenech dives into the manifesto of Cole Allen, whose rhetoric mirrors mainstream resistance language found across social media and legacy news outlets. Ben is joined by Byron York and examines the security failures at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and why the "post-Butler" world requires a permanent shift in presidential protection. Later, Elizabeth Pipko joins the show to discuss the lawfare strategy targeting the GOP ahead of the 2026 midterms and shares her personal account of being targeted by the DOJ.
