It Could Happen Here Weekly 238
Summary
Host Garrison Davis and guest Bailey Newposter analyze the thwarted plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House.

The hosts critique the group’s video-game-inspired tactics and debunk political claims by J.D. Vance, highlighting the plot's logistical impossibility and the role of social media in radicalization.
