What if a shocking assassination attempt shattered your perception of national security? Rich's discussion with his producer, Brian Kruger,  zeroes in on the Secret Service's chaotic response and the shooter's seemingly amateurish execution. The episode also contrasts the divergent media narratives spun by CNN and Fox News, suggesting possible motives behind their differing coverage. 

Shifting gears, they dissect the recent dismissal of the Florida records case and its far-reaching implications for both Trump and Biden. This chapter scrutinizes how each administration handled classified materials and exposes the stark inconsistencies in media portrayal and public reactions. They also confront the rampant manipulation and misinformation within political and media circles, underscoring the urgent need for more credible leadership. Drawing from insights shared by past guests like Dean Phillips, they highlight the glaring contrast between his forward-thinking approach and the current chaotic political landscape. Don't miss this thought-provoking episode that calls for a reevaluation of our leadership standards.
