You know, there was another time in President Clinton's era when a small plane was stolen and crashed onto the White House lawn.

I think actually security professionals will think of this event more at that end of the spectrum.

Then they will, in terms of sort of thinking of this as, you know, when Ronald Reagan was actually shot at the Washington Hilton in 1981 or events like, you know, the two assassination attempts that President Gerald Ford very narrowly survived in a matter of weeks when he was president.

Well, Garrett, we thank you for joining us to unpack it on the podcast.

And I will speak on behalf of every Australian listening.

We are so very grateful to be living down under and not experience all the things that you guys have to experience there in the States.

Thanks for making the time.

Absolutely.

I think every time that this subject comes up in the United States, which is far too often that Australia got it right in gun control when you all confronted that issue a couple of decades ago.

And I...

Wish that the US took it as seriously as Australia does.

Garrett, thanks again for joining us on The Briefing.

My pleasure.

That was award-winning US journalist and New York Times bestselling author Garrett Graff speaking with me there.

And that is it for this episode of The Briefing.
