It was actually a really 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:59.360 crappy job. And with that, welcome to this Saturday August 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:00.800 first edition of Amy A. 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:01.680 TJ. Robes. 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.679 What was already one of the most ridiculous stories of 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:10.000 the year has just taken another absolutely stunning turn. 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:15.160 It's kind of amazing that they admitted what we all 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:22.160 already knew. There was no proof ever that a vandal 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:27.320 or vandals cut a three hundred foot whatever in the 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.920 middle of the Yes, in the middle of the reflecting pool. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.840 And they did it undetected because apparently there was no 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.240 video proving any of this. And yes, a former three 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:42.520 time US Olympian, I just had a hard time believing 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.639 after a what was it a sixty mile bike ride, Yes, 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.240 he was gonna just say, you know what I think 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.240 Now I'm gonna go vandalize the reflecting pool. 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.960 Now that's good times that made any sense, folks. 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.720 They have just dismissed the charges against David Hearn, the 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.920 olymp that you mentioned, Robes. But in doing so they 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:08.639 had to make a pretty stunning court filing because they 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:13.400 had to explain why they brought this BS charge against 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.640 him in the first place, and in doing so, Robes 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:22.120 they had to admit they botched the job of redoing 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.560 the reflecting pool. The president, if he said at once, 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.639 he said it two hundred and fifty times in front 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:30.200 of cameras. 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:31.280 I like the number you chose. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:36.600 Yes, vandals did this. Left wing nuts did this. Leftists 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.160 did this. That might have thrown in the word domestic 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:40.480 terrorism at some point. 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:41.240 Did this. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:46.560 Robes, They're responsible. He's a great builder. They messed up 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.480 my pool. They have officially, Robes said all of that 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.959 was a lie that was coming out of President's mouth. 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:57.480 Absolutely, and or he was given misinformation. That is what 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.280 the US attorneys offered, is saying that they weren't given 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:07.560 the information, and they ended up in this filing completely throwing. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.560 The Department of the Interior under the bus. 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.200 Like in every way, shape or form, that is going 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.320 to be the fall guy or the fall department or 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:18.240 whoever is responsible. And I wouldn't be surprised if there 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.400 aren't some heads rolling after this, because everyone needs to 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.200 point the finger away from President Trump and to someone 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.040 else who didn't give him the correct information. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.720 Okay, even if you didn't have that information, Robe, you 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.760 also didn't have evidence of what you were saying. It 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.120 did not have any evidence. Nobody so any evidence. The 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.080 pool was right there in public. There's a three hundred 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.600 and fifty foot slit, and nobody else can see it 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:40.960 but President Trump. 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.040 The part for me was that common sense was not 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.440 included in any of this because all of us lay people. 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:49.960 Don't know anything about pool lining. 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.760 I don't know anything about any of that, but it 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:57.080 was pretty obvious that what the President was saying happened 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.600 couldn't have happened, at least the way he said it did. 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.640 It did not make sense that there wasn't proof, that 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.200 there wasn't evidence. Reporters time and time again were asking 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.760 for photographic evidence. They were looking for surveillance cameras, and look, 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.280 if this was happening, if there was vandalism going on, 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.840 of course the media would be reporting on it. Of 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.080 course this would be a huge story if someone was 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:23.799 taking out political revenge by damaging this beautiful reflecting pool 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.200 that meant so much to the president. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:30.040 But that wasn't the case at all, and the government 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.400 has now admitted it officially. This is a line from 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:38.000 the filing to dismiss the charges. Quote the rush to 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:42.080 complete the project led to hasty and botched work that 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.720 was not remediated before the project was finished, and the 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:51.440 fencing removed. Almost immediately after work was initially completed, peeling 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:57.479 was observed along the pool perimeter road. They knew within 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.720 days that the stuff was coming up there. 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.920 When you say they, you mean the Department of the Interior, 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:11.200 the government, the government, Yes, because yes, this filing absolutely 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.479 says it all. I mean, we don't even have to 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.480 because their words are just so stunning. 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.280 Was the word you used at the top. Oh, that 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.000 is the best way to describe. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.479 That, because of roads, how big this story was and 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.920 how much they pushed back repeatedly, and the President himself 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.279 in the Oval office, how many times he blamed this 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.720 on somebody else. Janine Piro, you remember that press. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.400 Conference absolutely well. 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.360 And I'm just wondering, by the way, what Janine Piro's 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.600 standing with President Trump is going to be after this, 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.359 because she is absolutely by her own words in this 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.080 filing refuting everything President Trump said was true. 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.080 But she gave him an off ramp in that we 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.400 didn't have all the information. So here it is from 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.919 the top the filing here, and this also goes to 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.320 and we're just gonna read it directly to you Ropes. 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.120 It starts based upon the reports provided by the Department 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.680 of Interior and the US Park Police, the United States 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.560 Attorney's Office presented the grand jury with evidence that damage 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.200 to the reflecting pool was caused by vandals, including the 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.000 defendant in this case, David Hearn. However, it was not 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.400 until after the return of the indictment that the Department 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.159 of Interior provided additional documents to the Attorney's Office indicating 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.359 the damage to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool in June 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:28.400 twenty twenty six was the result of flawed installation by 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:32.760 the contractor and the rush to complete the project prior 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.880 to events associated with America two point fifty celebration in 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:38.440 the week's surrounding. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.440 Independence Day ropes. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.040 They're absolutely saying, we were in a hurry to get 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.000 this done for the President and that is why it 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:44.680 was jacked up. 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.480 Absolutely, And then it went on to say the damage 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:53.800 was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:59.279 as initially represented by the Department of the Interior. Indeed, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.080 the US Attorney Office could only rely on the information 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.880 provided by the Department of the Interior that the damage 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.520 was caused entirely by vandals, including the defendant in this case, 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.120 David hearn it ro This. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.880 Doesn't make you're telling So they're saying the Department of 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.120 the Interior withheld information that caused us to bring a 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:20.160 false indictment. 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:25.080 Absolutely, that is exactly what they are saying. Exactly what 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.760 they were saying, and it gets worse from there. Look, 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.520 they claimed that the US Attorney's Office was not made 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:36.640 aware about any of this information until July seventeenth, and look, 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.240 Jeanine Piro herself toured the drain pool, and she said 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.640 she noticed the extensive damage. And that's when she requested 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.760 more information from the Department of the Interior, because yeah, 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.480 she's looking at it like the rest of us and saying, hmm. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.600 What I've been told was the cause doesn't actually seem 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.280 possible given the extent of the damage. 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:58.960 And at that point, this is when she said, and 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.320 in this new quote, new documents indicated a rushed and 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.360 flawed installation process, with repeated failures of the lining during 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.880 the installation process and extensive pealing of the lining throughout 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:11.800 the reflecting pool. 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:18.040 Robes. This is wild. This is absolutely wild. 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.240 And the best part of this robes is that the 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.040 final installation in the thing was open June ninth, June eleventh. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.960 This was documented. This is a government. It was documented 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.800 and sent to his superiors what he saw. Two days later. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.480 Two days after they said, we're. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:40.200 Good, the reflecting pool is beautiful, President Trump puts all 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:45.720 those gorgeous photos up online. Two days later, an engineer 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:50.720 was alerted to peeling of the reflecting pool lining. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.160 The email he sent was. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.480 At noon that day, two days after the reflecting pool 0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.920 was opened to another official and a Department of Interior personnel, 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.880 and this is what he said, Hello, all this morning, 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:08.280 an area of the reflecting pool coating was identified to 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.720 be peeling. Staff was notified and I was able to 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:12.640 inspect the area. 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.000 He goes on in that email and he details it. 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.880 This is here, this is what's happening here, This is 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.000 what happened. This is why we think there was something 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.640 they called over spray that shows up in this dismissal. 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.959 Lie like you put too much of a layer. You're 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.600 in a hurry maybe, and you're you're just layering it up. 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.080 He said it was an over spray. 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:31.920 Do you know how I can relate to that? And 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.880 I think every woman listening will Sometimes when you go 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.160 to the nail salon and they put one too many 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.480 coats on, you actually end up it will flip off 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.600 and actually peel off completely off your nail, and you're like, 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.920 oh my goodness. So I always tell them to put 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.520 one less layer, because it's happened to me because somehow 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.840 the extra coating lifts it off. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:56.440 So you're telling me they spent sixteen million dollars on this, 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.280 hired all of these pool companies and all they had 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.720 to do was ask any woman in the country, and 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.000 you all could have told them. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.480 Yeah, you can't put if you put one too many 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.960 layers on your fingernail, it will peel off. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.319 One hundred percent. Every woman knows that's happened to her. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.480 You're like first, like, oh, all these are beautiful, well, 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.960 my nails are kind of thick, and then boom, the 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:17.880 next day, one of them pops off. 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.480 This is what they seem to explain ropes over. 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.760 As soon as you explained it, I was like, I 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.679 know this phenomenon personally. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.320 Else that's what they say, And it was happening two days. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.760 Robes two days, Yes, that's about when my nail polish 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:32.480 will flip off. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:37.800 Nobody had time to go decide to vandalize the damn pool. Absolutely, okay, 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.720 this is an absolute exoneration of any and everybody and 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.040 it is so damning. 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:44.720 Robes, well, I'm not sure what. 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.480 I can't remember what the story was the other day, 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.120 but the President put out a statement and I didn't 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.679 want us to report it because I needed to go 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:56.600 find confirmation or a second or third source. If it 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.600 comes out of the president's mouth, we should be able 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.800 to go okay, that he's not just looking us in 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.240 the face and lying to us. 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.280 Robes, we all knew this story didn't make sense. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.120 And here's my question. This is what I wonder. 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.880 Yes, I know everyone's pointing to the Department of the Interior. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.920 They lied, or at least they didn't give information in 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.160 real time that would have absolutely made a difference in 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.840 terms of where this investigation went into what was happening 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.160 with the reflecting pool, Right, But what if everyone is 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.160 so scared of upsetting the president? What if everyone is 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.400 so scared of actually telling the truth because the President 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:37.359 will be unhappy because we'll be upset that the contractor 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.120 they green lighted, or maybe even the contractor that he 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:45.240 greenlighted wasn't up to par or wasn't good enough. And 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.880 they don't want to tell him that a decision he 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:52.120 made was bad, so they just lie to make him 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.760 feel like he has a different enemy, that he doesn't 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.600 have to look inward, that he doesn't have to blame himself. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:00.560 Ropes. 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.679 No one has the ear of the president to say, hey, 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.160 I don't think we should say or you say that 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.560 right now. It might work politically, but this is going 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.200 to come back and really bite us in the butt 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.880 because we don't know any of that stuff you're out 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.720 there saying, or you can't. 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.240 How about the people who knew that it was actually 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.480 botched installation after the second day speak up and till 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:22.120 the president. 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.720 Do you really imagine that engineer was allowed one anywhere 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.480 near the president and two would dare open his mouth publicly? 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:30.560 Yes? 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.280 But I guess you're right one hundred percent. But someone 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.440 somewhere made a choice not to tell the president the truth. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:43.680 There's someone listening, and someone who might assume that the 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.640 president knew damn well what he was saying was not true, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.160 and what he was saying worked for him politically, and 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:55.880 it covered his It covered his assertion of just how 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.120 wonderful of a builder he is. He can do it 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.160 what under budget, and he can do it ahead a schedule. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:06.040 Absolutely, I am not suggesting that it couldn't have been 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.640 his choice to lie, but it does seem even more 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.760 reasonable that people are afraid to tell him the truth. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:14.959 I would buy both of those. 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:16.880 I just know Robes what was coming out of his 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.679 mouth made sense to nobody who was listening. So how 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.880 did it make sense to him? 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.600 Because because in his mind, he's always right. 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.679 Okay, so delusional is what? Yes? 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:37.079 Absolutely, well, this next bit here will share robes. This 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:42.920 is Janine Piro's office completely throwing the Department of Interior 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:50.000 under the bus. Robes like intentionally they are accusing them, 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:51.319 not just of being incompetent. 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:52.240 It sounds like to me. 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:56.240 Oh, absolutely, this actually sounds like, well, she was a prosecutor, 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.000 so this sounds like a prosecutor or maybe even a 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.319 defense attorney upset at the prosecutor for not giving them 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.120 all the information in discovery. So she knows how that 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.679 game is played. And that's a lot how this reads. 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:08.920 She said. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.800 All of these concerns were raised by the engineer on 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:16.400 June eleventh, eight days before the defendant was arrested, and 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.720 the same day that fencing was removed from the site. However, 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:24.400 the information subsequently demanded by the US Attorney's Office disclosed 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.080 by the Department of the Interior, which was not known 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.760 to the prosecutors or the grand jury before the return 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.920 of the indictment, strongly suggests that a rushed and botched 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.560 installation by the primary contractor led to the damage to 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.840 the lining of the reflecting pool. It was not until 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:46.760 the US Attorney's Office repeatedly reached out to the Department 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:51.160 of the Interior dozens and dozens of times that the 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:56.760 Department of the Interior slowly started trickling, trickling, trickling information 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.040 to the US Attorney's Office. 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:00.760 Had the Department. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:04.400 Of the Interior been forthcoming with the information clearly in 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:08.400 its possession, the government would not have sought a grand 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:09.360 jury indictment. 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:13.400 Well, that sound like some uh you but there, because 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.640 can't you get in trouble for knowingly bringing a ball diamond? 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:22.680 Absolutely shying her and the president. 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.280 She didn't have to say dozens and dozens of times 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:29.880 she used the word trickling intentionally, Robes, they weren't forthcoming, 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.600 they were not fourth coming. Well, that sounds like an 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:37.960 intentional act. They're suggesting this was kept from us, which 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.840 fooled us. So we just we just listened to what 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.320 they said. Is that all it takes? 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.760 Really, y'all think somebody really and I don't know who 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:47.640 told them that. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.200 That's the thing. Nobody told them that they reached that conclusion. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.000 And now they're saying there was information that proved it 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:59.480 was something else. Roes, they weren't told that someone vandalized 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:03.880 the joint. They just decided to reach that conclusion. 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.560 Oh this just is so smelly. 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.600 Well we also had got an answer though about that 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.680 three hundred and fifty foot slit that the President talked about. 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.360 Oh you're gonna love this. One's there and. 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.120 Oh, welcome back to Amy and DJ. We are continuing 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.600 to discuss the reflecting pool woes. The good news is 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.600 the man who represented the United States three times in 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.400 the Olympics as a canoeist is now finally no longer 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:43.560 facing felony charges and ten years in prison for vandalizing 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.240 the reflecting pool because it turns out, yes, even the 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:51.360 Department of Justice is admitting that it in fact was 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:58.080 what was it botched installation and a rush job basically 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.680 to complete the reflecting pool into I'm for the fourth 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.360 of July, and so wow, we are having a complete 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:09.119 about face. There's not an apology in there. There's a 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:13.040 people have been calling this the deflection pool. Everyone's just 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:17.920 pointing fingers and apparently it's all the Department of Interior's fault. 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.920 Uh yeah, and that is on record. Now somebody's gonna 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:22.720 have to get fired. Well, they did all this on 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:23.240 a Friday. 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.120 Someone's gonna have to get fired. 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:26.560 This question is going to be asked on Monday. 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:31.160 Yes, he gave reporters a weekend to research and do this. 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.720 They have to ask some questions or robes. Will something 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.320 else happen? Will another bomb drop? 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.200 In? Ran to where this moves to the back? 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:38.920 Wag the dog? 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:44.080 Always always a strategy that you could possibly employ. 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.320 I got, all right, Well, the president's three hundred and 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:46.920 fifty foot slip. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.639 I said three hundred feet, But it was three hundred 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:50.440 and fifty feet. 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:51.840 Bro, he said, I think at one point he said 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.159 two fifty and then it was it. 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:54.919 Did all around. He's been moving it, but it's three 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.120 fifty right now. That was the longest one we got. 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.119 Last I heard it was a two thousand foot slip. 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:00.800 All right? 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.440 Is three hundred and fifty foot slit? 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.439 We've been asking when I say we members of the 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.359 press and we've watched in the Oval office, can we 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:09.200 have some pictures? 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:10.160 Can we have some photos? 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.679 They asked Janine Piro, They asked President Trump and they 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:14.359 said you'll see it when we go to court. 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.359 Yeah, they don't want to go to court no more. 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.600 But they say in this filing again, the filing in 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.399 which they're asking for the charges to be dropped against 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.560 David Hearn, they say, and this was at the an 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:31.800 Ropes quote. Finally, a recent visual inspection showed damage throughout 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.200 the reflecting pool, even in the middle of the pool, 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:40.479 where a vandal would not likely attempt to peel the lining. 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.320 Given all of this newly discovered information, it is difficult 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.560 to attribute to the widespread damage to the reflecting pool 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:50.720 to vandalism, let alone to establish the fact beyond a 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:51.919 reasonable doubt. 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.840 So that there, okay, so I feel like that means 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.320 there might be a three hundred and fifty foot slit 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.600 in the middle of the pool. But there's just no 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.520 way in hell that could have come from a vandal 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.240 And we all knew this when we heard it. That's 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:08.280 one of the things Ropes. 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.520 We all see a video and they tell us our eyes, 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.359 our own eyes are lying to us. We hear a 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.320 story as ridiculous as the one that they were putting 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.680 out about the reflecting pool and somebody going out there 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.720 with a knife and making a three hundred and fifty. 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.040 Foot It was just imagining someone with like a box 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.760 cutter or something and in the middle of that and 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:30.640 just standing in the pool and the gate just going 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:31.879 down in the middle. 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.399 No one saw anyone do that, and they. 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.439 Happened to do that at a time when all the 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.200 cameras in Washington, DC don't work. 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.600 No one had cell phones out, no one saw nothing. 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.800 And then a sixty year old man on a fifty 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:48.320 mile bike ride wants to stop by and violently pull 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:53.680 up pieces of the pool. And yes, everything we heard, 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:55.320 we're saying it now, you're laughing. 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.840 We heard it at the time, and we were laughing. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.040 Weren't we though, kind of, but it was ridiculous. 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:06.040 He's getting told that. We're the ridiculous ones for recognizing 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.520 how stupid of a story we were being told. So 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.760 this is just we all knew this. We all knew it, 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:14.320 you know. 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.640 And I do think it's interesting because we did hear 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:21.960 from David Hearn's attorney. We haven't heard directly from him. 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:23.920 I can't wait until that day happens. You got to 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.760 think it's going to happen soon Monday, it happens, That's exactly. 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.120 But I do appreciate what his attorney said. He said, 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.560 the dismissal of charges does not erase the abuse of 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:37.240 government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:41.240 did nothing wrong. The government's approach was ready fire aim 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:45.600 the administration owes mister Hearne an apology. 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.240 You can't argue with that. I mean, why not? Why 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.800 not give him apology? Just of course? Not what am 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:51.200 I saying? 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:52.680 What have we heard from the White House? 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.760 Nothing yet on this one. I was just checking to 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:57.679 make sure the President hadn't done anything on truth. So 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:00.000 now they won't. You won't hear a word about it. 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:02.400 You gotta let it go away because the president has 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:08.080 egg on his face, and everyone we believed you, mister president, 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:11.440 even his people could go I believe what he was saying? 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:13.200 Or are they going to make excuses for him again? 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:16.120
