It showed integrity and character asking Dan Crenshaw on your show, Shawn, even though he proves again and again and again, that he is a snake. The Shawn Ryan and Dan Crenshaw drama in a nutshell:Both are former Navy SEALs. The feud escalated in late 2025 when podcaster Shawn Ryan (host of the massively popular Shawn Ryan Show) questioned on his podcast how Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) dramatically increased his wealth while in office—going from a ~$174k congressional salary to multimillion-dollar net worth, including stock trades and reports of lavish spending (e.g., a birthday party allegedly featuring DJ Steve Aoki, which Crenshaw denies hiring). Ryan framed it as legitimate public scrutiny of a politician, not a personal attack.Crenshaw privately DM'd Ryan, mentioning "my boys at [SEAL Team] 6" heard about Ryan's comments and suggesting Ryan contact him directly as a "fellow Team Guy." Ryan interpreted this as an implied threat (especially given Crenshaw's past hot-mic comment about wanting to "kill" Tucker Carlson in a fight). Crenshaw's lawyers then sent Ryan a cease-and-desist letter in December 2025, accusing him of defamation, demanding he remove content, apologize publicly, and stop discussing Crenshaw.Ryan refused in a viral video, calling it bullying and intimidation of free speech. He invited Crenshaw on his show to discuss it openly.Negotiations for an appearance dragged on. Crenshaw agreed but wanted clarifications/changes to Ryan's standard guest waiver/release form. Emails went back and forth, with Crenshaw's team booking travel. On January 1, 2026, Ryan posted a video accusing Crenshaw of dodging by "hiding behind paperwork" and being a "digital bully" afraid to appear.Crenshaw quickly responded with his own video and screenshots of communications, claiming Ryan's team backed out after his attorney asked one clarifying question about a vague clause—and that Ryan never sent the revised form to sign. ]]> Fri 02 Jan 2026 10:04:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1608875/idk-if-anyone-has-been-following-shawn-ryan-and-rep-dan-crenshaw-but-shawn-released-this-about-it/
