On this episode of the podcast, seasoned journalist and author Susan Crabtree discusses her investigative work on the Secret Service, particularly after the assassination attempts on Donald Trump. She highlighted a recent incident where two female uniformed division officers engaged in a brawl outside of former President Barack Obama’s residence in Washington, D.C., which raises concerns about professionalism and the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.

Crabtree criticizes the 30 by 30 pledge, which aimed to increase female Secret Service agents to 30% by 2030 and noted that DEI issues and low morale have contributed to security lapses. Furthermore, Crabtree mentions the need for a replica White House for training and the challenges faced by new Director Sean Curran in reforming the agency.
