Hey folks,

This one is intense. Adam and I went back live this morning to discuss the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner. If you’re trying to make sense of what actually happened (and what didn’t), this is a must-watch.

  • [00:01:47] We break down what actually happened at WHCD and why early reactions online immediately went off the rails

  • [00:05:20] The viral clips everyone’s talking about: Trump stumbling, officials scrambling, and the small details most people completely missed

  • [00:09:50] Why the “it was staged” narrative spreads so fast—and how bad-faith actors on both sides exploit chaos for clicks

  • [00:16:01] A deeper, uncomfortable truth: how online radicalization, isolation, and broken systems are fueling real-world violence

  • [00:24:00] The bigger picture—how media incentives, political extremism, and disinformation are warping reality in real time
