WEBVTT - Reflecting Pool Drama: Trump Calls Out U.S. Attorney For Dropping Charges Against Olympian, Doubles Down On Vandalism

0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Hey, they're folks. It is Monday, August third, and the

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump Piro pool party is on. Should we call it

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>a pool fight? And with that, welcome to this episode

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>of Amy and TJ. You're not gonna win a fight

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>against President Trump, are you? But right now she's in one. Yeah.

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>And look, maybe you don't win it short term, but

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.760
<v Speaker 2>maybe in the long term you might come out ahead.

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but after you lose your job, that is too

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about Janeine pierro If you don't know, she's

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the US attorney out of the office in DC, and

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>once again, Robes, the reflecting pool story just won't go away,

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:39.919
<v Speaker 1>and I'm so glad it won't. I am loving it.

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.160
<v Speaker 1>But right now what we have is Jeanine Piro going

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>head to head against her boss, the President, who has

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 1>put out a blister pretty I shouldn't say blistering. He

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't necessarily just attack her, but he attacked her decision

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to drop the charges against Olympian David Hearn Robes. That

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>was stunning already when we saw that on front.

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we were.

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I was surprised that Jeanine Piro actually made the choice

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 2>to not only drop the felony criminal charges against a

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 2>three time Olympic canoeist who yes represented the United States,

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 2>David Hearn, after a fifty sixty.

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Mile bike ride.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 2>He was accused of vandalizing the reflecting pool and being

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 2>among those accused of causing all the damage, all that

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 2>peeling pool liner and Jeanine Piro was there in the

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>beginning talking tough about the ten years that David Herton

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 2>was facing, so Yes, when she decided to drop the charges,

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>she had to explain why, and in this very public filing,

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 2>she very specifically stated that it was shoddy or botched

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>work done in a rush job to get the pool

0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>ready for the Fourth of July celebrations, which made our

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>jaws collectively dropped because we were like, holy hell. She

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>just completely spoke out against and gave an opposite narrative

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:15.519
<v Speaker 2>that the President has been selling for and pedaling for weeks, and.

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 3>We wondered what he was going to do.

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Was he going to just come out and say thank you,

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Jeanine Piro for explaining what we didn't have the information.

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>The Department of the Interior kept this from us, and

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe no, he did the opposite.

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 3>He went with.

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>The Department of the Interior and threw Jeanine Piro under

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 2>the bus, and I don't know what. Were you surprised

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 2>he made that choice.

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.839
<v Speaker 1>It was a lot of under the bus throwing over

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the past few days. Surprised or was this not even

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>a doubling down, a tripling down, a quadrupling down. This

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>is a I don't even robes, he is still still

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>while all she did in this filing was say what

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:58.959
<v Speaker 1>everybody already knew. We knew, Robes that nobody was damaging

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and taking a knife and cutting a three hundred foot slit,

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and fifty foot split.

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 3>We knew that undetected.

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 1>We knew nobody was pulling up the lining that was

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 1>floating all over the damn pool.

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>This American hero was gonna go and just vandalize the

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>pool because he doesn't like Trump in broad daylight.

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>That was July second. Do I have right when she

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>came out and did that press conference, Robes, I thought

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>they were gonna put him under the jail the way

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>she came out, he violently, yes, vulnerably.

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.959
<v Speaker 3>There were adverbs attached to what he did.

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Destroying a national monument. They brought this up to a

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>level Robes that made it sound like he almost single

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>handedly was responsible. It was absurd for the foolishness that

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>we saw around a reflecting pool, this thing that's been

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>there one hundred plus years. It had the same problems

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the whole time. The President fixed in two weeks, is

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>what you're telling us. And he did it for just

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a few million, okay, and it had problems immediately, And

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>we found out from the filling the filing Robes they

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>knew about the problems two days after the work was

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>compared to correct We're going to get into that as well,

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>but Robes. This sets us up now to what happened

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>with this filing and what the President ends up saying.

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 1>The excerpts I included here from the motion to dismiss

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the charges. As much as we talk about Robes, there

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>is no way we can come out and say any

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 1>more strongly than the Department of Justice did about why

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>these charges would be.

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>And I think that was one of the surprising parts

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 2>of it because it wasn't like and yes they did

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>it on a Friday, trying to sneak it in when

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 2>people aren't paying attention, going off for a summer weekend

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Friday dumps, yes, very famous. But she chose some very

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 2>specific language that even surprised me. She was very deliberate

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 2>in placing the blame solely on the Department of the

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Interior and solely on the construction and the rush job.

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>This was an excerpt from her to dismiss the charges

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.480
<v Speaker 2>against David Hearn. She said the rush to complete the

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>project led to hasty and botched work that was not

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 2>remediated before the project was finished, and the fencing removed.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Almost immediately after work was initially completed. Peeling was observed

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>along the pool perimeter.

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>And the guy who saw it worked for the cut

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 1>where the government. He reported it.

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 3>It's not like two days later.

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Saw it and then nobody knew this was boiling. It.

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Goes on to say it was not until after the

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 1>return of the indictment against David Hearn that the Department

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>of Interior then provided additional documents indicating that damage to

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the reflecting pool was the result of flawed installation by

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the contractor and the rush to complete the project prior

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:53.559
<v Speaker 1>to events associated with America to fifty Ropes. She is saying,

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>plain as day, everybody was in a hurry to get

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>this done for the President, and because they were in

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.799
<v Speaker 1>such a hurry, they cut some corners and the work

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>wasn't done that.

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Way without a doubt. That is exactly what she said.

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 2>And then she wentn't even further and said the damage

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 2>was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.039
<v Speaker 2>as initially represented by the Department of the Interior. Indeed,

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the US Attorney's Office could only rely on the information

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:25.279
<v Speaker 2>provided by DOI that the damage was entirely caused by vandals, including.

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 3>The defendant in this case, David Hearn.

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this was as big of a slap in

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 2>the face to the Department of Interior and frankly to

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 2>President Trump. Then she could have I mean, she wrote it,

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 2>and it was it was non negotiable.

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Because Robes, I think, is this not correct? Couldn't she

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>be in some really serious trouble if she filed for

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.919
<v Speaker 1>charges and an indictment comes against a guy, if a

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>judge a court believes that she knew otherwise, Yes, she,

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, could you get this bar stuff like that?

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 3>If not, you should be able to so. Yes.

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine that that would absolutely be grounds for disbarment.

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>But baby might not just be cya from a public standpoint.

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>She might need to do it legally to make sure

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the court understands this was not me. This is what

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I was told, and I was just bringing the information best.

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I had, And the moment I found out what the

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>real information was, I dropped charges.

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>She went on. This is where she firmly throws the

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Department of Interior, and the Secretary under the bus said

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>it was not until her office repeatedly reached out to

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the Interior Department dozens and dozens of times that the

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Interior slowly started trickling information to us ROMs that was specific,

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>that was very specific language, trickling dozens and dozens of times.

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>We had to ask, she's covering up?

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 2>But maybe legally here absolutely, and so President Trump had

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 2>a choice to make. Do I say, wow, given this

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 2>new information, I am fully more fully understanding the situation.

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 2>I too was misled by the Department of the Interior.

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, no, no, no no, because then he would

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>have to admit that his push for the rush for

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>the two hundred and fiftieth the construction company I believe

0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>that he used before and one of his Trump properties,

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 2>that he actually green lighted that they were responsible.

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 3>No, because then it goes back to him.

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 2>So his truth social post made it very clear how

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 2>he feels. I disagree one hundred percent with Janine Pirou,

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 2>the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 2>reflecting pool. I don't know what she was thinking. Question

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 2>mark to me, I like, to me, like, what.

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Does that to you?

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 3>To me?

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>It was a pure case of vandalism that included the

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 2>grass which had a big eighty six forty seven emblazoned

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 2>in giant letters on it, and other elements of the

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>surround Huh. There may have been some contractor difficulty, but

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.679
<v Speaker 2>the major damage was caused by vandals.

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 3>In all caps.

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>That is an admission by the president. That's as close

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>as you're ever going to get that he was wrong.

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>That's an emission by the president. That is the closest

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.599
<v Speaker 1>you're going to get. Ropes. He jumped from the pool

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>to the grass. He jumped from the pool being the

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.440
<v Speaker 1>focus to the grass. Look at how he's talking. He

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 1>disagrees with her on the reflecting pool to me.

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 3>To me, it's my opinion based on zero facts.

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 1>He's saying, pure case of vandalism that included the grass.

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>He's focusing on the grass because it is someone did

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>put eighty six forty seven in the grass that is

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>true and got nothing to do with the pool. And

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I have not heard him make any public statement or

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>shout for the mountaintops about the grass. It's been all

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>about the pool. So he's switching it up on us

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and saying, well, the eighty six forty seven it may

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 1>have been some contractor difficulty. That is as close as

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>you're getting to an admission that he was wrong. There

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>may have been some contractor difficulty. What can that mean?

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Baby botched installation?

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 2>No, just possibly some difficulty.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>That's it. It's to you know, this is one of

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 1>my favorite stories. It had been. It's gotten to a

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.440
<v Speaker 1>point like are you serious. It's okay, It's just they

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 1>can not ever find just say I was wrong, we

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>got this one wrong. Nobody administration can admit a mistake.

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:34.440
<v Speaker 1>You're not allowed to.

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Wouldn't it be so nice if they did.

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't your shoulders just relax a bit for there to

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 2>be an admission that everyone makes mistakes.

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 3>It's okay.

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>The hard part is admitting it, but it actually is

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>what endears you to the public, where we actually we

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>can forgive mistakes, but when you can't admit them, that

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 2>is a major problem.

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.319
<v Speaker 1>They've made things worse worlds because not only not admit them,

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>they tell us that what we're saying, seeing with our

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 1>own eyes and videos aren't true. They're there there. He's

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>been talking to us like we're all stupid for weeks

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>about this pool. He believes what he believes. And if

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>you're you follow the president and you think that, yep,

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>he was telling me the truth the whole time. Or

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 1>if you say it, well, I think he was just

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 1>telling me what he thought at the time. He had

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>bad information, we could get on board.

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:24.959
<v Speaker 3>I was willing to that, but this.

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Is something else. Baby, I can't admit they're wrong. Two

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 1>words that would relax our shoulders coming out of the

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>President's mouth anytime. My bad.

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say, I'm sorry.

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, that's too far, that's too far. I would

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.560
<v Speaker 1>have his doctor check him out if he ever says

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, but just my bad, Yeah, my bad, that's

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 1>on me. Ah damn it. I was working, But what

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.680
<v Speaker 1>was what's wrong? Because that's seen as weakness. Weakness, babe,

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>If you complain about a pilot that flies too close

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>to people on the beach, you're weak. If you don't

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>see how that was just awesome. Everything is everybody's weak

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>testosterone checking for now. Everybody's weak, weak, weak.

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Jesus, come, how about Doug Bergham, the Secretary of the Interior.

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Is he weak or is he strong?

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>He went harder than the president, didn't he to defend.

0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Now he's defending the Interior Department. And that's fine, But

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.440
<v Speaker 1>he's Interior secretary and I get it. But he needed

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:20.679
<v Speaker 1>to say something, Robes. But he's still pushing and pawning

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>this same thing. So yes, he had a long statement

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>that he put out on X as well after the president.

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>And it's clear he wants to keep his job.

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes he does, because his first line says it.

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 3>All the evidence is clear.

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Vandals have repeatedly caused damage to the reflecting pool period.

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Some of these acts were even caught on camera.

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Period.

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 2>We also provided the US Attorney's Office expert and eyewitness

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 2>testimony to the damage done by vandals, and provided every

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 2>piece of evidence they asked for in the requested timeline

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 2>detailing each area of damage at the pool.

0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean provided every piece they asked for?

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>We've read a lot of statements in our lives. We

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>pick up on little words like that. He goes on

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.079
<v Speaker 1>to say that President cares deeply about protecting our sacred

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>national monuments, and his leadership has led to the restoration

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.679
<v Speaker 1>of our nation's capital by making DC safe and beautiful again.

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Intentional damage done to the reflecting goal is no different

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.479
<v Speaker 1>than defacing any one of our other national monuments.

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 2>We won't back down to deranged people who want to destroy, deface,

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 2>or degrade our monument.

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Is that still, David Hearn, he didn't mention, David Hern

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 1>there did not why not? But it is just defacing

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 1>any one of our national monuments. He put his name

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:44.839
<v Speaker 1>in front of Kennedy's right, defacing, defacing. That was the

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 1>first thing about to mind when I saw that, defacing

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 1>any one of our national monuments, and that's exactly what

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>he was accused of doing. But stay here, folks, we

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>will we come back explain the I guess one of

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the more jaw dropping parts to us is when the

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>US Attorney's Office was made aware that they had a

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>BS case. And also the best part of it all,

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>when someone first noticed that the reflecting pool was jacked up.

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>It was a long time ago.

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Stare welcome back everyone, as yes, the reflecting or as

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>it's been called, the deflecting Pool. Drama continues. It just

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 2>won't go away. President Trump could make it go away.

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 2>He could have applauded Janine Piro for finding the truth,

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 2>asked some questions about the Department of the Interior, and

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 2>people might have felt like, Okay, finally we're on the

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 2>right track. We're not just pointing fingers at former Olympians

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 2>accusing them of unthinkable acts of violence, things that just

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 2>don't make sense or sit.

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 3>Well with a lot of folks.

0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine, I know what you're saying there, unthinkable

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>acts of violently Yes, you said violence, like he was

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 1>violent pole.

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Well no, yes, but like violently attacked the reflecting pool.

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 2>It seems silly on its face, and so to double

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 2>down now, but we're getting more information from Janine Piro's office,

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 2>who now is letting us know when they were made

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 2>aware of the damage and when the Department of the

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Interior actually knew about the damage.

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, this is fantastic. Robes an engineer, all right. June ninth,

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 1>there was a final inspection of the pool. It was

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>good to go, so it essentially opened on June ninth,

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and they were getting in ahead of the fight was

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 1>on June fourteenth, when his birthday. The UFC thing June ninth,

0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Final inspection June eleventh. An engineer, an engineer with the

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Park Service was alerted to the peeling of the reflecting

0:15:56.080 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>pool on June eleventh. Robes. June eleventh, he wrote an

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>email saying, this morning an area of the reflecting pool

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 1>coding was identified to be peeling. Staff was notified and

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I was able to inspect the area. That is from

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the engineer on June eleventh. So why is it that

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Jeanine Piro wasn't aware of this until July seventeenth.

0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 2>That's insane, that's almost what is that five six weeks later?

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 3>And so she drained, She.

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Toured the drained pool, and she noticed the extensive damage.

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 2>And look, that's because she knows she was being asked,

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 2>as has the President, by reporters, for pictures evidence of

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 2>this three hundred and fifty foot slit that he claims

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 2>some vandal made using a sharp object in the middle

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 2>of the pool. The problem is, she goes and she looks,

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 2>and she is not understanding how what the claims of

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 2>vandalism are, how they match up with what she's actually

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 2>visually seeing there at the pool.

0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>So was the lady who brought charges against the guy

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:06.720
<v Speaker 1>that we had evidence already that he wasn't guilty. We

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 1>had it on June eleventh. June eleventh, and she brought

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:15.160
<v Speaker 1>a case and a month later she becomes aware that's

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:19.440
<v Speaker 1>not good investigative work. Is it is the DOI and

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.440
<v Speaker 1>keeping stuff from her? What are they saying happened here? Ropes?

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Is this just another fiasco? Will never get answers?

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, the DOI is saying we gave her the information

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:32.640
<v Speaker 2>when she asked for it. So she goes and tours

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.919
<v Speaker 2>the drained pool and says, what the hell? This doesn't

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.880
<v Speaker 2>look like one area that's been vandalized. This looks like widespread,

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:45.160
<v Speaker 2>extensive damage from a faulty installation process. So she asks

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.640
<v Speaker 2>for more information and then her theory is confirmed when

0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:49.960
<v Speaker 2>she gets set information.

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Ropes, why would they withhold the.

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Information because it didn't fall in line with the president's explanation?

0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 1>They let her file charges against the guy?

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Had it stuff bolstered the president's assertion?

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, this is maybe this is a bigger Maybe it

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.040
<v Speaker 1>is a bigger situe with Robes. They withheld this that

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>is her accusation, that.

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:12.320
<v Speaker 3>Is her accusation.

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Where does this go? How long does Janine Pirou last robes?

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 1>We They've known each other a long long.

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Time, and she's been a huge advocate for President Trump.

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 1>She was on Fox News every single show.

0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Constantly supporting him, bolstering his point of view. So, yes,

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 2>he gave her this very prestigious appointment as US Attorney

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 2>for the District of Columbia.

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.120
<v Speaker 3>And now this is probably what is this.

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:45.000
<v Speaker 2>The big her big first case basically that she's in

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 2>front of in a in like this has certainly been

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 2>his big issue, and so she's now the face of it.

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 2>She's now going to be prosecuting it. And look, I

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.119
<v Speaker 2>keep thinking of Pam Bondi. He wanted her to go

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.119
<v Speaker 2>after certain people who he felt like. I think the

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:05.000
<v Speaker 2>accusation is that he felt like when after him, when

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.120
<v Speaker 2>she didn't do things or didn't move as quickly as

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.639
<v Speaker 2>he would like her to have moved in terms of

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 2>prosecuting his perceived political enemies, she was cast aside. And

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 2>now Todd Blanche is there trying to get confirmed this

0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 2>week because he is willing to do the president's bidding.

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Ginine Piro just proved that she's not.

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Well ros it she does, she legally can't.

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I would say that Pam Bondi probably felt

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 2>very similarly.

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>She legally can't do anything, so they'll know if she

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.240
<v Speaker 1>will survive this one. But you mentioned Bondi, we mentioned

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Christy No, we mentioned Tulsi Gabbert and talking earlier, these

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.119
<v Speaker 1>are three really high profile women that were in his

0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 1>cabinet that are out of a job. I know Tulsi

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Gabbert resigned, but hope.

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.439
<v Speaker 3>Lots of people resign because they have to.

0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.119
<v Speaker 1>It's just to see him going at it again publicly

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 1>with another woman, a high profile a woman as a

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 1>part of his team is something. We'll see how long

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 1>this lasts, how long she lasts and if this maybe

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:08.920
<v Speaker 1>just fades away. But the pool ain't fixed.

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, but it's going to be and it's going

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 2>to be perfect. It's going to be the most beautiful

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:16.800
<v Speaker 2>reflecting pool you've ever seen.

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 1>American flag, blue environment.

0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, we will stay tuned on this one. Also, you

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.480
<v Speaker 2>can just follow President Trump's truth social post and you'll

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:27.840
<v Speaker 2>know in real time as well. But in the meantime,

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 2>we always appreciate you listening to us.

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Everyone. I made me roboch alongside TJ. Holmes. We'll talk soon.
