About this episode

The episode discusses a security breach at the 2026 White House Correspondents Dinner involving Cole Thomas Allen and its political implications.

On today's episode, we discuss the security breach at the 2026 White House Correspondents Dinner, where 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen from Torrance, California, breached a checkpoint at the Washington Hilton and attempted to reach Trump administration officials. The highly educated mechanical engineer, who held degrees from Caltech, managed to run past security with multiple weapons and fired shots that struck a Secret Service agent's bulletproof vest before being tackled and arrested. We explore Allen's manifesto targeting the Trump administration, his sister's last-minute warning to authorities, and the surprisingly lax security that allowed him to check weapons into the hotel—the same location where President Reagan was shot in 1981. The hosts also examine the political implications, discussing how both sides might weaponize this incident and the broader concerns about escalating political violence in America. Don't miss it!
