Mark Halperin’s reported monologue breaks down the facts, misinformation, and conspiracy theories surrounding the gunman at the White House Correspondents Association dinner, including why some false narratives continue to gain traction. He also reveals the major security failures at the event that exposed vulnerabilities far beyond what many are acknowledging.

Plus, Dan Senor explores how deeply Israeli intelligence may operate inside Iran, the secret emerging strategic option that could reshape the Iran conflict, and Mark explains why economic pressure alone may not force Tehran to surrender. Melissa DeRosa also joins to break down the biggest divides inside the Democratic Party, and the controversial role President Barack Obama is playing now.
