The Aftermath of Trump's Third Assassination Attempt
About this episode
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov discuss the recent security breach at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, potential assassination attempts on Trump, and the implications for political safety in the U.S.

They discuss what is known about the suspect, how the breach occurred, and what the continued threats against Trump tell us about the state of the country. Is “violent rhetoric” to blame — or are we seeing a country roused to anger by cable news and social media? Would Trump’s ballroom have made those in the administration safer?
