Emily speaks with investigative reporter for the Daily Wire, Luke Rosiak about a shocking story he broke: the foiled plot to assassinate three Supreme Court justices and up to 1,200 civilians at a D.C. cathedral.

Luke and Emily discuss the media's clear double standard, contrasting the case with the wall-to-wall coverage given to other political plots, and analyze why this pattern of downplaying left-wing violence is becoming dangerously common.
