## Resource

Join host Walter Sterling as he sits down with Marine Corps combat veteran and intelligence expert Edward Jones to unpack the shocking, yet surprisingly absurd, security breach at the recent Washington Correspondents' Dinner. They dissect how an armed would-be assassin casually commuted via an Amtrak train to the event, exploiting a shockingly lax ticketing system where unverified JPEG images were simply swapped for nameless paper tickets. Amidst the serious security analysis, Sterling and Jones share hilarious behind-the-scenes observations from the chaos—including elite guests refusing to abandon their free salads and a Ukrainian ambassador famously swiping a bottle of champagne on her way out. To wrap up, Jones delivers a rapid-fire intelligence update on the current geopolitical standstill in Iran.
