Hugh Hewitt and Jean Case on 5 Principles for a Life of Breakthroughs and Purpose

In the wake of the third assassination attempt on President Trump in a period of less than two years, the President correctly concluded: “He was probably a pretty sick guy.” That came from his interview Sunday night on “60 Minutes.”

In looking for a cause the president pointed to the changes we’ve all been living through: “The internet, maybe more than anything else, has radicalized some people. It’s made them mentally sick,” President Trump said.

He’s right, of course. But how, more specifically, does that happen?

The tempting, all-purpose answer for busy people is simply to do what the president did: point at the internet.

But: What dots have never been connected about factors in the upbringing of the actors that tip them, the unbalanced, into the land of the "statement" would be killers or killer?

For the good of the nation, we need quality research to fill that very specific gap.

Hugh Hewitt: Learning the Lessons From the Would-Be Killers

Our First Amendment is a cherished guarantee. Every American has the right to criticize elected officials — even in harsh terms — so long as there’s no incitement to imminent violence.

But having a right to say something doesn’t necessarily make it right to say. And too many in our cultural elite have normalized reckless rhetoric about President Trump.

Among others, ABC host Jimmy Kimmel recently “joked” about the First Lady becoming an “expectant widow.” Congressman Dan Goldman called for Trump to be “eliminated” from public life. Former President Biden urged putting Trump “in the bulls-eye.”

None of that is illegal, nor are they responsible for a criminal’s actions. But after three attempts on President Trump’s life, left-wing elites should ask themselves whether flirting with assassination rhetoric is morally defensible — even if they have every right to engage in it.

Carol Platt Liebau: Reckless Rhetoric

The nation narrowly avoided a horrific tragedy Saturday night—and history will record it as just that. The scene at the Washington Hilton looked more like a motion picture, it wasn’t. It was reality: Someone intending to assassinate the President of the United States and as many cabinet officials as possible made it past the first round of security.

There was enormous attention to this particular dinner—the White House Correspondents Association dinner. This was the first of these dinners that Donald Trump, as President, was planning to attend.

Every time something like this happens however, everyone has to learn new hard lessons.

I am confident of this: There will now be a new protocol for the security for the President and Vice President of the United States, and perhaps for others in the line of succession.

History often records how close we have come to disaster. And though on the other side of it, everything has to change in a moment.

Perhaps we need to learn some very constructive lessons from a near miss.
