About this episode
The episode discusses a security incident at the White House correspondent's dinner where a suspect attempted to enter armed, featuring insights from a journalist present during the event.

Today, we speak with Missy Ryan, staff writer at The Atlantic magazine, who was in the room when the chaos began. Featured: Missy Ryan, staff writer at The Atlantic
