Ted Cruz struggled during a speech at a Republican gala in Manhattan, where his typical stump speech and jokes failed to resonate with the New York audience. The hosts discuss the difficulty of speaking to a distracted crowd during a meal and contrast Cruz's performance with Donald Trump's "home game" advantage in the state.
President Barack Obama's performance at the 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner included a joke regarding Republican donor Sheldon Adelson. Obama quipped that he might have declined to run for office if Adelson had offered him a hundred million dollars directly, a comment that drew laughter from First Lady Michelle Obama. The segment also notes the heavy security presence at the event, including sniffer dogs on the red carpet.
