Extra: Are We Still Capable of Keeping Presidents Safe?

One week ago, the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., was cut short by a harrowing assassination attempt. President Trump, attending the annual event for the first time in his presidency, was rushed to safety by the Secret Service alongside members of his Cabinet and various lawmakers. The suspect, 31-year-old California teacher and engineer Cole Allen, faces charges of attempted assassination after allegedly rushing past a magnetometer and opening fire outside the Washington Hilton ballroom. While one Secret Service agent was struck, he was fortunately saved by his bulletproof vest and is currently recovering. In the wake of this security breach, major questions are being asked: How did this happen, and how can we protect the President at future high-profile events? Earlier this week, Charles Marino—a former Secret Service Supervisory Special Agent and DHS Advisor—joined host Dave Anthony to break down the tactical failures of that evening and the urgent changes needed to Secret Service protocols. Marino explained the challenges of keeping a President safe and what needs to be done at future, large events. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

Powers speaks with Dr. James Robbins, Dean of the Institute of World Politics, who says Tehran would love to take revenge on the United States in some form of terror attack, and he also recounts the search for Osama bin Laden.

It has been over two weeks since the U.S. Navy began a blockade of Iranian ports, and now millions in Iran have been pushed into poverty as the country’s economy crumbles. It also appears the blockade is causing collateral damage back home with oil prices surging to their highest levels in the past four years. over concern of renewed U.S. military strikes and an extension of the blockade. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates is leaving OPEC, marking a major shift in global energy politics. FOX’s Jonathan Savage speaks with Max Meizlish, research fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, and previously worked at the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), who says the blockade is working, severely impacting Iran's economy, but even more can be done to freeze their oil revenue.

A National "Reset": How The Supreme Court Just Shook Up The Midterms

The Supreme Court has struck down Louisiana's redrawn congressional map in a decision that could have a massive impact on this year's midterm elections and the current nationwide redistricting fight. While a lower court previously mandated a second Black-majority district to satisfy Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the High Court’s 6-3 majority ruled that the state went too far in prioritizing race, labeling it an "unconstitutional" racial gerrymander. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill joins us to discuss why she believes the court has finally "harmonized" the law with the Constitution and how this ruling affects other states seeking to reshape their voting boundaries. Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for a second time by the Trump administration. This time, he is accused of using seashells on a beach to communicate a threat toward the President. Criminal defense attorney Andrew Cherkasky joins to discuss the indictment related to the "86-47" post, the First Amendment questions the case raises, and the significant challenges prosecutors will face. Plus, he breaks down the case against Cole Allen—the man charged with the attempted assassination of President Trump last weekend—and why an insanity defense is unlikely to succeed.  PLUS, commentary by Karol Markowicz, columnist for the New York Post and FOX News.
