Tim Burchett, Eli Kareen, no strangers to the show, welcome back. Thank you. We've got a ton to cover. I'm not going to do the typical introduction we've had because you guys have already been on multiple times. But I want to talk to you about Trump assassination. I want to talk to you about, Tim, you've done a ton of work with the Afghanistan stuff. I want to talk about that.
And then I think all three of us want to talk about some of the – Government corruption in both parties. It's going on inside of Congress. And then we'll see what we get into after that. I know you guys both have time constraints, but I just want to say love you guys.
Super happy to have you back here in the studio to have this conversation and lots of important stuff happening in the country right now. And so let's just get to the bottom of some of it. But But to kick it off, Eli, I know you've done a lot of work investigating what went on with the first assassination attempt on Trump's life just yesterday. We had another attempt.
And actually, before we dive into that, you guys both know we've got a Patreon. It's what enables me to be here, what you guys, enables you guys to be here. There are top supporters. And so I give them the opportunity to ask a question each interview. This question is from John Phillips. Since we're on the topic.
Will anyone at Secret Service be held accountable for the major snafu in Trump's attempted assassinations? Plural.
I think it's too early to tell yet. I think it's going to— Largely be based on whether or not Trump becomes president or not. I don't have any faith whatsoever that with the people that we have in Congress now that anybody will be held accountable. I'm only a freshman, but I've seen the game enough. to kind of see how it plays out.
I think if President Trump gets back into office, I do think that there's a really good chance that there will be accountability, but everything is so political up there, as you know. I mean, one of the—and just on that topic, I volunteered to be on the assassination task force. You know, I sent Speaker Johnson a text saying, hey, I was a, you know, NSW sniper.
I think I could bring value to this investigation, and I wasn't put on it. Now, I get it. You were not put on it? I was not put on it.
Why were you not—who made that call? Well— Why would you not have a former Navy SEAL sniper who's better than probably any of the Secret Service snipers out there? Why would they not have somebody with that relevant of experience on the topic inside Congress on the committee?
