One of the people from NAV Press, his name is a commander, goes on the record with one of these publications and said something about, we will find Captain Gary accountable. It's like, hang on a minute, dude. A board of inquiry is supposed to be an objective, fact-finding administrative board. And you're already talking in the open press about, you will find me accountable?
Sounds like a predetermined outcome. Yeah. Almost like it's consistent with the entire process we've seen that has been very manipulative.
To circle back to your question also, it's important to note, why would they want to do this? Why would they want to get this big? Well, they're not used to people fighting back. And so when they do it, they can determine their outcome.
They can hunt for anything they want administratively, hold anything they want administratively, and still punish you, and then tell someone out there, we held someone accountable. We did our job. And most people can't fight back. They either don't have the legal representation to fight back. They don't have the fight in them. It's looking at Goliath.
It's looking at Goliath, and they have infinite resources. And so I don't think they anticipated.
We had great lawyers from Jason from the beginning, Davis Younts, Mark Jessup, Tim Parlatore, fantastic lawyers. We had insiders feeding us the emails and the evidence, like big black and white guys, case closed. And then we had you. and a couple other people who had helped us drop breadcrumbs along the way leading up to this episode, or our last episode.
And then congressmen started jumping on that. And that's really what gave us the avenues to win. I mean, from the beginning, we had Nick Lolota from New York, Congressman, Morgan Luttrell from Texas, and Corey Mills from Florida. Those were the three congressmen that jumped on this from the beginning, and Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from Oklahoma.
Those four dudes talk about breathing life into our fight, but as much as they raised issues The Navy still ignored it. They still kind of kept it off to the side. So it wasn't until after our show where we started seeing that increase in attention. Eli Crane was the first one that came on board after we talked.
I talked to you this morning at breakfast about a contact of a contact, put us in touch with the Speaker of the House. That was a huge one. We met with him for a half an hour. What did he say? How was that meeting? He was shocked. He was shocked. And he's like, hey, I'm on your side. I'm going to support you on this one. It was fantastic.
And this guy that got us the meeting, just an incredible American, just called me one day. I told you, hey, Brad, can you get to Tucson? I got us a meeting with the Speaker of the House for half an hour, if you can make it. I'm like, what? The Speaker of the House? Oh, yeah. Then the big one in there, too, we started getting some more senators. Senator Tom Cotton jumped on board.
He's a heavy hitter. He started helping. Senator Tommy Tuberville, huge heavy hitter, started helping. I hope I said it right. Tuberville or Tuberville? Tuberville. Is it Tuberville? I think. I think. I always mess it up. I'm sorry, Senator. I always mess it up. Coach is what everyone calls him. He's now security advisor, David Jansen. I've become very good friends. So all of that started growing.
And then the one that was really the big pivot point was Congressman Brian Mast from South Florida. Ironically, President Trump's personal congressman. So his chief of staff, Stephen Leighton, links us up from another team guy after our show. And he gives me the time of day, listens to everything. He goes, okay, here's what we're going to do. He had started this new Justice for Warriors caucus.
And so he said, this is exactly what this thing exists for. And so he partnered me with the chief of staff, some of his other staff, James Langenderfer and Derek Miller. They said, we're going to draft a letter that'll be from Congress to the Secretary of Defense.
And then I want you to schedule a trip to come out to DC and we're going to shop this run and try to get as many co-signers as possible. They said, the key is we can't come to DC without a plan. We're coming with an ask and all we're asking for is your signature. And so that was really the tipping point after our show, which drove success because that ended with that first letter.
that I think we had over 30 senators and congressmen co-sign it. Wow. It was powerful, man. And they were bringing up all the things that we talked about. And it was basically saying, hey, Secretary of Defense, we don't like what we're seeing. These quotes that I mentioned earlier, we're seeing gross ethical violations. We're seeing lack of investigative process.
We're seeing a lot of alarming things. They sent it to the secretary in September. Calm, silent from DOD for another little bit. The Navy kept doing all the things we just talked about. And so then they sent a second letter on, I think, December 9th.
And that's when they were really mad because, hey, not only are you ignoring us, you're showing contempt for Congress, but you continue to deny them access to the evidence that we all know vindicates them. What are we doing?
And through insiders, we knew that the prosecuting attorney for that board of inquiry, who was doing his own questioning and fact-finding, getting in preparation, was openly discussing with people. He's like, we have no case. Who orchestrates all these congressmen and senators?
We walked everywhere. You're driving blind. Yeah. And there's so much that was really, really interesting. I learned a lot about Congress, and I learned I never want to be a part of it. It's chaos. Amen. It's chaos. Amen. But it was great because you saw that relationships matter. And so there was one where I'm with Senator Mark Wendell in an elevator, and in comes Senator Barrasso. And...
And Mullen's like, hey, I need you to take a look at this. Listen to Brad. He's got an important story. You can trust me. He's like, I need you to be on this team. He's like, sounds good. I'm in. So like in an elevator, all of a sudden you get another signature.
