WASHINGTON (AP) – A man accused of storming the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner while armed with guns and knives pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges that he attempted to kill President Donald Trump and fired a shotgun at a Secret Service officer who tried to stop the attack. Bernie Bennett reports.

POSSIBLE OUT CUE: Pirro and Blanche were in attendance at the dinner, when Allen ran past a check point and shot the secret service agent.

VERBATIM: Cole Tomas Allen was handcuffed and shackled and wearing an orange jumpsuit when he appeared in federal court for his arraignment Monday.

Allen didn’t speak during the brief hearing. One of his attorneys entered the plea on his behalf.

Allen’s lawyers are asking U .S. District Judge Trevor McFadden to disqualify Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro from direct involvement in prosecuting him because they could be considered victims or witnesses in the case, creating a potential conflict of interest.

The new Michael Jackson biopic is stunning, gripping, and heartbreaking. But Kirk isn't just reviewing a movie here. He's connecting MJ's story to something way bigger — what happens to all of us when we build our identity on what other people think.

Plus, Kirk opens up the mailbag and answers your questions on drifting friendships, following your calling vs. your parents' expectations, staying consistent in faith, and dating in your late 20s.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – Iran and the United States have reached an impasse again over how to end their war.

VERBATIM:

President Donald Trump is expected to use a trip this week to China to urge Chinese President Xi Jinping to pressure Iran into making concessions and end the current limbo. The President rejected Iran’s most recent proposal via Pakistan over the weekend.

A federal judge on Monday decried the prison treatment of President Donald Trump’s alleged would-be assassin, and apologized to him for restrictive confinement imposed by jail staff.

VERBATIM: Cole Allen has been in federal custody since prosecutors say he attempted to crash the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and kill President Trump along with other high-level government officials.

Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui told a Department of Corrections attorney that he was “fascinated and disturbed” by Allen’s treatment in jail. Allen was placed on suicide watch when he was first imprisoned.

Prosecutor Jocelyn Ballantine reasoned that since Allen told investigators he did not expect to survive the alleged attack, he could be a danger to himself.

Masculinity is getting blamed for everything and then repackaged into something ugly, and a lot of young men feel stuck between shame and swagger. We sit down with Nick Freitas, a combat veteran, former legislator, and one of the clearest voices on culture, to talk about The Man Book and the bigger question behind it: what does God say a man is for?

We get concrete fast. Nick explains why “share your toys” can accidentally teach coercion instead of generosity, and how small parenting habits shape a child’s view of private property, responsibility, and authority. We also talk about why strength is not the problem, and why it matters who your strength serves. If your identity is in Christ, then discipline, competence, emotional control, and the ability to protect others are not optional extras. They are part of faithful leadership.

From there, we go deeper into Christian apologetics and why men need an intellectually serious faith that can handle hard questions, not a thin version built on slogans. Nick also hits a nerve with marriage and communication, pushing back on the “yes dear” myth and making the case for respectful, honest disagreement as a skill every husband must develop.

We close with what Nick is seeing on college campuses: the biggest confusion is not policy, but truth and identity, and parents cannot delegate the responsibility of discipleship. If you care about biblical manhood, Christian parenting, and raising leaders who can stand firm, this conversation will give you language and next steps. Subscribe, share this with a parent or young man you know, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.
