Shots rang out Saturday night at the Washington Hilton as a gunman attempted to crash the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. The alleged attacker, identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California, was neutralized by Secret Service as he approached a security perimeter located just levels away from President Trump and the First Lady.

Mackenzie Price is a co-founder of Alpha School, which utilizes adaptive AI to provide students with a personalized education. She joins the Rundown to explain her learning model and how moving away from traditional teaching methods and incorporating AI—allows her students to excel.   PLUS, commentary by Tevi Troy, senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute and a former senior White House aide.
