It's Monday, April 27th.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day, the show that is not rooting for the Dallas Mavericks.
If you know, you know.
On today's show, financier Kevin Warsh is one step closer to being confirmed as Federal Reserve Chair.
And President Donald Trump backs out of negotiations with Iran in Pakistan.
But let's start with the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
President Trump was preparing to give his remarks in front of hundreds of journalists and political figures on Saturday
when guests heard gunshots fired outside the ballroom.
As of the time of this recording Sunday, law enforcement has a suspect in custody,
a California man who traveled to Washington and was staying in the hotel where the dinner took place.
According to police, he sent his family messages that indicated he was planning to take violent action
against members of the administration.
But there's still a ton we don't know.
Namely, how on earth did someone with a gun get so close to the president?
Again.
Typically, an event featuring the president has incredibly tight security.
But according to the New York Times, there were no metal detectors at the hotel entrances.
Other journalists noted that security at the hotel seemed weirdly lax.
So did the shooter, according to his alleged manifesto published by the New York Post.
He wrote that there was, quote, no damn security, and that, quote, this level of incompetence is insane.
