And anybody who's done – whether you're a police officer or you've been in special operations or you're a Marine, you know how important slings are because if you're shooting your primary and you go dry or you have a jam and then you need to transition to your secondary –

What are you going to do with your primary?

Are you going to throw it on the ground?

Or what if you have to climb a ladder?

What if you have to do some prisoner handling?

What if you have to process some evidence?

You can't just be throwing your weapon on the ground.

And so he was saying, I mean, the Secret Service was so backwards that it took decades for them to even get slings.

He also said that they didn't want to transition to...

a higher caliber weapon, like an AR style platform that shot something that maybe some of the threats were carrying, right?

And so you couple that with, oh, they didn't have a drone up on site, right?

They even turned down a drone from some of the local authorities.

And you just got to wonder, like, why aren't they forward thinking at all?

You know, because our enemies most certainly are.

And he also, you know, one of the other things that we've learned is that the Secret Service is absolutely not in a better place with the new director.

People are just like in every other government institution, they're failing up, right?

Director Rowe probably, you know, had a lot more say over what security and what personnel and what assets were, you know, on site at Butler on that day than even Director Cheadle did.

And so, you know, there's been a lot that we've uncovered and we found, but definitely there's still a lot more to uncover.

And, you know, for those of us on the outs, it's going to be difficult because we don't have subpoena power.

They did go to Butler, yeah.
