#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

Because I don't know about you, Sean, but I don't have a lot of faith in the federal government to get to the bottom of this.

The Shawn Ryan Show

And even if they did get to the bottom of it, I don't have a lot of faith that they would even reveal it to the American people, just like we still don't have the Kennedy files, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show

And so that's why some of us were like, okay, well, we might not be on the task force.

We might not have subpoena power, but let's do everything that we can within our contacts and our intelligence to get as many answers as we can for the American people.

The Shawn Ryan Show

Did you get any answers?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

Well, we've gotten some answers.

I've actually been to Butler twice now.

One of the things that I did a video about, you probably saw it, was one of the first things that Director Cheetah was saying was that we didn't put counter snipers up on that roof because it was too steep.

The Shawn Ryan Show

So myself and other members from the Homeland Security Committee went and got up on that roof, and I showed out.

The Shawn Ryan Show

We were walking around on it right after me, a 70-year-old man named Carlos Jimenez, who's a representative from Florida, got up on it, walked right up it, no problem at all.

The Shawn Ryan Show

You could see the water tower right over my shoulder that nobody got up on top of that would have been a sniper's paradise or a counter sniper's paradise, and nobody got up on that.

One of the things that I broke on with Dan Bongino on his podcast was that these pipe bombs that we were told Thomas Crooks had were built in ammo cans.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

But, you know, some of the other things that we've learned is that โ€“ and I know you've talked about it as well with Eric Prince, but the Secret Service is โ€“

The Shawn Ryan Show
#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

Completely incapable of stopping a 20-year-old kid with no military experience from getting 150 yards from the president.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

What would that look like with a trained team like whether it's the Houthis?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

There is โ€“ yeah, there is intelligence that that's a very big threat as well.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

But some of the other things that we've learned, Sean, that's alarming is that โ€“

The Shawn Ryan Show
#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

The Secret Service seems to be completely allergic to innovating and adapting to modern warfare, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

Dan Bongino was talking about how when he was there, it took decades for them to even put slings on their primary weapons, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

Yeah, like their primaries, their M4s or whatever they were carrying.
