"Fighting Solves EVERYTHING!" Who's To Blame For Political Violence? + Maria Machado On Trump

In the aftermath of the Correspondents’ Dinner attack, two dominant narratives have emerged in US political discourse. The first is intensifying political blame, with figures on both the left and right accusing each other of contributing to a growing climate of violence. The second is a surge in conspiracy theories online, with claims circulating that the attack may have been staged. Similar narratives had gained traction prior to the incident and were widely shared across social platforms, prompting coverage from outlets including CNN and Wired. President Trump has also weighed in, linking the incident to broader allegations about political funding networks and extremist activity. As debate continues, concerns are growing over the erosion of trust in shared facts and institutions, and whether increasing polarisation is accelerating instability in the political landscape. Piers Morgan speaks to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado about her relationship with Trump and what she plans to do for the next election. Then, Piers is joined by senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, Christopher Rufo, former Republican Congressman and host of The Social Contract, Joe Walsh, founder of the Proud Boys & Censored TV host, Gavin McInnes, and host of No Limits!, Brian Shapiro.
