Exactly.
When we looked into Butler from the intelligence community perspective, we came across some things in terms of the confidential human source, the origin of the intelligence that gave us other questions that came to mind that we raised and were blocked by the FBI from looking into further investigation.
And then the DHS IG, who was not working with us, who was not coordinating with us, working a separate track to look at what took place on the ground in Butler specifically, like asking the most obvious question, how did Crooks breach the security perimeter and get up on the roof?
He was blocked from that very aggressively internally by the DHS and didn't get anything back from the FBI whatsoever.
We were told by the FBI that there was nothing in Thomas Crooks' digital devices on his cell phone, computer, et cetera.
And then Tucker Carlson's investigative journalist actually dug up Thomas Crooks' online profile.
So there was obviously a lot more work that needed to be done in terms of Butler.
Those questions still haven't been answered.
The issues with the security perimeter still haven't been addressed, obviously, because West Palm Beach happened right after that.
And then we had the other breaches of President Trump's security to include this one.
So
There's obviously a systemic issue, and these questions just simply aren't being answered.
And again, if we don't look into this quickly and if there isn't someone who steps in and says, why were these decisions being made?
You rose a great point that I think most people were asking when they saw even the vice president and the president in the same spot basically on the same stage was who authorized all the cabinet essentially for the most part.
to be in this one location.
And I don't think that was a conscientious decision made by President Trump or by the vice president.
I think it just happened that way, but we should have people that are in charge that are looking at the security situation and the posture to make sure something like this doesn't happen.
Yeah, Joe, I was talking about it.
You and I, all three of us have been to multiple high-level VIP-style events where you have lots of members of the line of succession.
You don't get several thousand yards in front of that building without different magnetic... You go through the metal detectors.
