About this episode

Alyssa Farah Griffin sits down with executive producer Brian Teta to share her reaction to the shooting connected to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and explains why she believes there were significant security failures. She also pushes back on using the incident to justify building a White House ballroom, calling that argument absurd, and responds to right‑wing influencers posting in near‑unison about the proposal. Alyssa weighs in on why some people believe the shooting was a conspiracy and shares her thoughts on why President Trump may want the Correspondents’ Dinner to move forward again quickly. Alyssa then gives her take on the drama at Bravo following leaked audio from the 'Summer House' reunion and weighs in on rumors Jennifer Lawrence was the one who cracked the investigation open.
