Welcome to Pod Save America.
On today's show, we're going to talk about the awful shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and the predictably idiotic discourse that's ensued.
Republicans blaming Democrats, Trump trying to get Jimmy Kimmel fired, conspiracies about the whole thing being a setup.
We'll also check in on the stalemate in Iran, why talks have fallen apart and what the options are from here.
Then Lovett talks to Katie Porter, who stopped by the studio, former member of Congress and one of the leading Democrats in the race for governor of California.
Before we get to the news, two big announcements.
And also, as you may have heard on the Friday show or on Love It or Leave It, CrookedCon is coming back.
We've got three days of events right after the midterms, November 5th through the 7th in Washington, D.C.
There's going to be live shows, tons of panels, new ways to connect with other political sickos like us.
Head to CrookedCon.com and sign up for updates, including ticket release dates, lineup announcements, and a lot more.
So as you all know by now, on Saturday night, a gunman charged the entrance to the White House Correspondents Dinner and shot an officer before being subdued and taken into custody.
He's now been charged with attempting to assassinate the president.
Trump and other senior officials were rushed out of the dinner by the Secret Service while other attendees hid under the tables.
The rest of the dinner was canceled.
