Hour 1 - Charlie James argued that radical left rhetoric incited suspect Cole Tomas Allen to exploit hotel security lapses and target the President’s publicly scheduled appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

During the first hour of the April 27, 2026, broadcast, Charlie James argued that the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner serves as definitive proof that radical left ideology and rhetoric have become dangerously violent and normalized. He detailed how suspect Cole Tomas Allen exploited security gaps by checking into a hotel room as a registered guest, allowing him to bypass external checkpoints with multiple weapons. James also took aim at "liberal teachers" who he claims are lamenting the suspect's failure rather than condemning the violence, further fueling a toxic political climate. Finally, the segment questioned how Allen knew exactly where to strike, noting that while the event is an annual tradition, the suspect likely targeted the Hilton because it was a matter of public record that the President and political elite would be gathered in the ballroom that night.
