Hour 2: New rules for e-bikes? · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, we always look forward to talking to John Decker,
0:02
Speaker 1: but especially so today. We were talking about this yesterday.
0:06
Speaker 1: John Decker is not only the wr White House and
0:09
Speaker 1: Washington correspondent, but he's also a constitutional attorney. He is also,
0:14
Speaker 1: by the way, the host of the podcast The White
0:17
Speaker 1: House Briefing Room with John Decker that could be found
0:19
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. And the reason it's so important
0:22
Speaker 1: that your constitutional attorney is because, of course Anthony Fauci
0:26
Speaker 1: took the Fifth one hundred and eleven times and they
0:29
Speaker 1: were saying to him. Ran Paul said it. Several of
0:32
Speaker 1: the Republican senators told him, you don't have the right
0:35
Speaker 1: to take the fifth because you were pardoned. So what
0:38
Speaker 1: is the answer. Can he take the fifth?
0:42
Speaker 2: Well, that is every American's constitutional right. But the added
0:46
Speaker 2: element to this is that he received a pardon. But
0:48
Speaker 2: the pardon that he received from former President Joe Biden
0:52
Speaker 2: on Biden's last day in office only covers a specific
0:56
Speaker 2: period of time, and because of that, his lawyers advised him,
1:01
Speaker 2: it would be in your best interest to plead the
1:05
Speaker 2: fifth to invoke your Fifth Amendment rights because the time
1:09
Speaker 2: period as it relates to the pardon only covers through
1:13
Speaker 2: January the nineteenth of twenty twenty five, and as a result,
1:19
Speaker 2: if he essentially perjured himself yesterday during his testimony, he
1:24
Speaker 2: would be on the hook for that. The pardon would
1:26
Speaker 2: not cover that particular instance.
1:29
Speaker 1: One other thing I heard John to add to that
1:32
Speaker 1: is they are investigating him. The US state attorney in
1:36
Speaker 1: the US Attorney of General, he should say in Florida
1:39
Speaker 1: is also investigating him, and the pardon wouldn't cover state charges, right,
1:46
Speaker 1: That is correct.
1:47
Speaker 2: So pardons only apply to federal charges federal convictions. They
1:53
Speaker 2: don't apply to state charges or state convictions. So that
1:58
Speaker 2: is something that you know, Anthony Falci, who's eighty five
2:02
Speaker 2: years old, has to now contend with, is the possibility
2:06
Speaker 2: of a specific state bringing certain charges against him for
2:11
Speaker 2: actions that he may have taken during the course of
2:14
Speaker 2: his time advising President Donald Trump and advising President Joe
2:19
Speaker 2: Biden during the coronavirus pandemic.
2:21
Speaker 3: Thank you, John Dicker.
2:22
Speaker 4: I want to pivot and shift because sometimes I don't
2:26
Speaker 4: know if President Trump knows stuff already or if he
2:29
Speaker 4: truly is surprised. But yesterday I think he was asked
2:33
Speaker 4: a question about a Reuters report that red China has
2:37
Speaker 4: sent four hundred showed the fired Stinger missiles to Iran,
2:43
Speaker 4: which sort of conjured up an image to me of
2:46
Speaker 4: how we had sent those same Stinger missiles to the
2:49
Speaker 4: Moujah dem when they were shooting out of the sky
2:52
Speaker 4: the Soviet Air Force in Afghanistan. He seemed to say
2:57
Speaker 4: he had no idea about that. I don't know if
2:59
Speaker 4: you are on the premises at that time.
3:02
Speaker 2: But I was in the Oval Office. I asked a
3:04
Speaker 2: question of the President in the Oval Office yesterday, So
3:06
Speaker 2: I was there when that question was posed to the President,
3:09
Speaker 2: and you're right. The President seemed to be caught off
3:12
Speaker 2: guard when that question was posed to him, and the
3:16
Speaker 2: President reverted back to conversations that he had most recently
3:20
Speaker 2: with President she in which the President said President she
3:23
Speaker 2: had given his assurances to President Trump that he would
3:27
Speaker 2: in no way China would in no way help Iran
3:31
Speaker 2: in this conflict that has been going on since late February.
3:34
Speaker 4: Well, all right, and Larry had discussed this before you
3:36
Speaker 4: came on the air. And Larry's knee jerk response was,
3:39
Speaker 4: if true, more tariffs, more tariffs against red Chine, can
3:45
Speaker 4: we assume that if in fact it turns out to
3:47
Speaker 4: be true.
3:48
Speaker 3: John Decker, well, we can.
3:51
Speaker 2: That being said, you know what is on the horizon
3:55
Speaker 2: in a short period of time. September the twenty fourth,
3:57
Speaker 2: in President Trump reach firm that yesterday in the Oval
4:01
Speaker 2: Office is a state visit by President she at the
4:05
Speaker 2: White House, So that could potentially complicate that state visit.
4:10
Speaker 2: I think that that would be an apt response if
4:13
Speaker 2: indeed China was in any way helping out Iran in
4:17
Speaker 2: this conflict. But ultimately it's up to the President in
4:21
Speaker 2: terms of whether or not he wants to impose those
4:23
Speaker 2: tariffs on an adversary like China, which is not always
4:28
Speaker 2: looking out for America's best interest.
4:31
Speaker 1: You know, it seems like every time we talk, I
4:33
Speaker 1: bring up the Save Act, And the only reason I
4:36
Speaker 1: do because you just say, look, the votes aren't there.
4:38
Speaker 1: The only reason I do is because the President keeps
4:40
Speaker 1: bringing it up, and Republicans keep bringing it up, and
4:43
Speaker 1: some of them are attacking John Thun for not getting
4:45
Speaker 1: the job done right now, and now they're talking about
4:49
Speaker 1: canceling the August recess to try to get this through.
4:53
Speaker 1: So Donald Trump is held bent on getting this through,
4:56
Speaker 1: but he would he be able to do it if
4:58
Speaker 1: they got rid of the filibuster.
5:01
Speaker 2: Would he be able to pass the Save Act if
5:03
Speaker 2: they got rid of the Philipbuster. The answer to that
5:05
Speaker 2: question is yes. But as John Thune said in fact
5:09
Speaker 2: within the past week in an interview that he did
5:11
Speaker 2: on Fox News, the votes are not even there to
5:14
Speaker 2: change the philipbuster rules. There are certain Republicans that do
5:17
Speaker 2: not want to change those rules, and there's no way
5:21
Speaker 2: around that problem.
5:22
Speaker 3: Either.
5:22
Speaker 2: You can keep the Senate in session if you want
5:24
Speaker 2: to do that, but it's just going through this process
5:28
Speaker 2: that's not going to change the endgame. And in addition
5:31
Speaker 2: to that, as I mentioned the other day, Leader Thune
5:34
Speaker 2: is very much concerned about at least two of his
5:38
Speaker 2: members that would like to be back in their home
5:40
Speaker 2: state campaigning for reelection. And you know, he wants to
5:44
Speaker 2: give those Republican centers that opportunity, and keeping them in
5:49
Speaker 2: Washington would essentially keep them off the campaign trail and
5:53
Speaker 2: that would be problematic in terms of their reelection runs.
5:56
Speaker 4: Please explain to USh John Decker the hold up on
6:01
Speaker 4: the Attorney General becoming the permit in Attorney General, they
6:05
Speaker 4: are two Republicans is corinth and there's Tillis, who are
6:09
Speaker 4: basically saying, you got to put everything you said before
6:13
Speaker 4: us on a piece of paper. I didn't quite understand
6:16
Speaker 4: what they were talking about.
6:19
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, Todd Blanche has said publicly, hey, there's no
6:23
Speaker 2: anti weaponization fund. We've moved on from that position. Well,
6:28
Speaker 2: if that's the case, there are two senators, Republican senators
6:31
Speaker 2: who both sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee, that have
6:34
Speaker 2: said to Todd Blanche, put that in writing, put that
6:39
Speaker 2: idea in writing, and we will consider voting for your nomination.
6:43
Speaker 2: The other problem for Todd Blanche is the fact that
6:47
Speaker 2: the Justice Department negotiated a settlement which essentially prevents the
6:51
Speaker 2: IRS from ever looking into any tax information of President Trump,
6:59
Speaker 2: his sonans tax information, or the businesses that Donald Trump
7:05
Speaker 2: has the Trump Organization. That's problematic for both John Cornyn
7:10
Speaker 2: and Tom Tillis, and as a result, right now they're
7:14
Speaker 2: not approving Todd Blanche's nomination to be the next Attorney
7:18
Speaker 2: General on a permanent basis, and as a result, the
7:21
Speaker 2: vote for his nomination was put off by the committee
7:25
Speaker 2: chairman until they can secure the votes of those two
7:29
Speaker 2: Republican senators.
7:30
Speaker 1: It looks like Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski's visit to Washington
7:35
Speaker 1: was an extremely successful one. Donald Trump had nothing but
7:39
Speaker 1: good things to say about him and met with him.
7:42
Speaker 1: It looks like the Congress is going to pass sanctions
7:45
Speaker 1: against Russia. Things really changed in our relationships with Ukraine.
7:50
Speaker 1: What is it going to be like going forward now?
7:53
Speaker 2: Well, it's a good question. The President seemed to yesterday
7:57
Speaker 2: in the Oval Office when asked about Ukraine and specifically
8:02
Speaker 2: that Russia sanctions bill, he seemed to add another caveat
8:05
Speaker 2: to his support for that legislation. He says that he
8:08
Speaker 2: once added to the legislation which has already passed the Senate,
8:14
Speaker 2: tariffs on Iran in addition to sanctions on Iran. So
8:18
Speaker 2: if that indeed is added as an amendment, the whole
8:22
Speaker 2: process needs to start all over again, because it would
8:25
Speaker 2: change the legislation that was already passed in the US Senate,
8:29
Speaker 2: and of course the House hasn't voted on it yet.
8:32
Speaker 2: But I agree with you, Larry, that it was a
8:34
Speaker 2: successful visit by President Zelenski to Washington. He came here
8:39
Speaker 2: for the funeral of Lindsay Graham, and he leaves with
8:42
Speaker 2: passage of that bill and also the relationship between the
8:47
Speaker 2: US and Ukraine on much firmer footing. I think the
8:50
Speaker 2: president really respects President Zelensky as things stand today.
8:53
Speaker 4: Now, John Deck, you know the culture Washington, Fauci's diaries
8:58
Speaker 4: being dropped because they will left on government servers, not
9:02
Speaker 4: even his own private a lot of self aggrandizement saying yes,
9:09
Speaker 4: I agree, right, things that we knew. Okay, you got
9:12
Speaker 4: an ego, this was so over the top. Well people
9:16
Speaker 4: expecting this at all in that Washington culture because he
9:20
Speaker 4: he was an integrated part of that.
9:23
Speaker 2: Well, keep in mind, I covered the White House during
9:26
Speaker 2: that entire period of time. I was there every time
9:29
Speaker 2: he came into the White House briefing room to brief
9:32
Speaker 2: us on the latest concerning the coronavirus pandemic. I would
9:36
Speaker 2: see Anthony Fauci out, you know, at events that that
9:39
Speaker 2: I attended as well, and you could tell he really
9:43
Speaker 2: developed a huge ego as a result of all the
9:46
Speaker 2: attention that was thrust upon him during that period of time.
9:49
Speaker 2: So to me, not a surprise in terms of what
9:53
Speaker 2: he put in those diaries that were released by Senator
9:57
Speaker 2: Rand Paul this week. And you know, I think that
10:00
Speaker 2: obviously a lot of that went to his head in
10:03
Speaker 2: terms of all of the attention that he was getting
10:05
Speaker 2: during that period of time.
10:07
Speaker 1: All right, John Decker, w White House and Washington correspondent
10:11
Speaker 1: and host of the podcast The White House Briefing Room
10:14
Speaker 1: with John Decker, which could be found on the iHeartRadio app.
10:17
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, John, Thanks Larry, Thanks Curtis.
10:21
Speaker 3: Have a great day.
10:21
Speaker 2: Byebye.
10:22
Speaker 4: And I want to impale myself. Well, had to be
10:26
Speaker 4: the documentary of all time. And Nancy, who would track
10:32
Speaker 4: Flocko nocturnally in Central Park that was a base of operation,
10:39
Speaker 4: was unable to attend because she had work additional hours.
10:42
Speaker 4: And I wasn't gonna go to the open airing of
10:46
Speaker 4: the Flockho documentary by myself, so we'll end up seeing
10:50
Speaker 4: it in a theater. But I gotta tell you, I
10:52
Speaker 4: saw people in the Upper West Side who were flooding
10:54
Speaker 4: there because Flocko for an entire year. There were people
10:59
Speaker 4: who had come from all over the world tracking Flacco
11:02
Speaker 4: who had been housed in Central Park Zoo, which is
11:05
Speaker 4: a very small zoo. Somebody had let him loose, but
11:08
Speaker 4: he never left the environs. And I grew up loving
11:12
Speaker 4: owls as a kid, so I love Wockole my wife
11:16
Speaker 4: was like tracking him there. Thousands of people were tracking
11:20
Speaker 4: Flocco and late at night he the predator that owls are.
11:24
Speaker 4: He would kill the rats in perfect natural way.
11:27
Speaker 1: And good for him because they were scared that he
11:29
Speaker 1: wouldn't know how to do that because he's always been fed.
11:32
Speaker 1: And he assimilated immediately.
11:34
Speaker 4: And unfortunately, because some of the rats that he had
11:38
Speaker 4: killed and eaten to survive had ingested the rat poison
11:43
Speaker 4: and they believe that had affected his neurological sort of
11:47
Speaker 4: piloting ability, he crashed into a tall apartment building on
11:52
Speaker 4: the upper West Side and was never.
11:53
Speaker 3: Able to recover.
11:54
Speaker 4: To this day, people come to Central Park for two reasons,
11:58
Speaker 4: to pay homage to John in Strawberry Fields right there
12:02
Speaker 4: outside of the Dakota, and to the area that has
12:06
Speaker 4: been set up as a homage to flock O the owl.
12:11
Speaker 1: Now, remember he escaped in February twenty twenty three, and
12:13
Speaker 1: if you remember back at that time, they were really
12:16
Speaker 1: concerned that he would die, that he would not be
12:19
Speaker 1: able to assimilate, and he almost did immediately. There was
12:23
Speaker 1: many sightings of him, of him hunting, so that was
12:27
Speaker 1: always in him. He picked it up immediately, which shows
12:30
Speaker 1: us that these animals that are encaged, no, they don't
12:35
Speaker 1: assimilate to us. They always have it in them. If
12:39
Speaker 1: they are let out on their own, they'll be just fine.
12:43
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the great lessons of Flock
12:45
Speaker 1: of the Owl. Yeah, he flew around New York for
12:49
Speaker 1: a full year, and you remember he was in the
12:52
Speaker 1: news constantly. There's this big debate on who the most
12:55
Speaker 1: famous owl is. Is it Floco the Owl or Hoot
12:59
Speaker 1: the Owl.
12:59
Speaker 3: We grew up with, Uh, don't hoot? What was give?
13:05
Speaker 3: Don't give that? Give a hoot, don't pollute.
13:09
Speaker 4: I had the the doll of the Owl that my
13:12
Speaker 4: mother used to talk to me through. She would actually
13:15
Speaker 4: talk to me as if the owl could talk. You've
13:18
Speaker 4: been a bad boy, Curtis. I kept my eyes on you.
13:22
Speaker 4: You got out of bed at night.
13:25
Speaker 1: That's the making of a horror movie.
13:27
Speaker 3: Is And there's the pop owl. That's right.
13:33
Speaker 1: I didn't know that who the owl is a real owl?
13:36
Speaker 1: The owl was an owl from Wyoming. Really yeah, it's
13:40
Speaker 1: looking up. I mean, it's it's pretty amazing. Between they
13:43
Speaker 1: did either of those owls have a Twitter page.
13:46
Speaker 3: Because there was no Twitter Twitter. Now ex my husband
13:55
Speaker 3: was just like Nancy. He was obsessed with that owl.
13:58
Speaker 3: He was following it every day. And we didn't even
14:00
Speaker 3: we don't even live in the city.
14:01
Speaker 4: No, and people from around the world they booked travel
14:05
Speaker 4: to New York City. Number one reason to come try
14:10
Speaker 4: to see the flight patterns of Flaco, who generally would
14:13
Speaker 4: stay in a prescribe area rectangular area. So if you
14:17
Speaker 4: happen to be walking around, it was a very good
14:19
Speaker 4: chance you'd see Flacko. Not first, because there were paparazzi everywhere.
14:23
Speaker 4: They were like you would think it was like, oh
14:25
Speaker 4: my god, Taylor Swift is in town. Forty fifty paparazzi.
14:29
Speaker 4: You're looking at it because he would rest right on
14:32
Speaker 4: the fire escapes. Once he was spotted by one, all
14:35
Speaker 4: the paparazzi would run.
14:36
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this poor woman's documentary, because we've been
14:39
Speaker 1: talking about her the entire time, and she put together
14:42
Speaker 1: this over the last couple of years. Her name is
14:44
Speaker 1: Penny Lane. The documentary is called Wild Inside. The first
14:49
Speaker 1: showing was in Central Park, but it's going to be
14:51
Speaker 1: shown in sixty theaters across the country, so Curtis, you
14:54
Speaker 1: and Nancy still get a chance to see it. But
14:57
Speaker 1: she was inspired. Now she's a filmmaker, but she was
15:01
Speaker 1: really inspired by Flocko himself. I lost so many nights
15:06
Speaker 1: of sleep over the South. Every time he disappeared for
15:08
Speaker 1: a few days, I was like, Okay, is he dead?
15:11
Speaker 2: Where is he?
15:12
Speaker 1: And that obsession grew to finding all of the footage
15:15
Speaker 1: she can, interviewing people about it and putting together this documentary.
15:19
Speaker 1: But it has a message, getting.
15:21
Speaker 5: People thinking about urban ecology and our responsibilities to our
15:25
Speaker 5: non human neighbors who also are living here alongside us,
15:29
Speaker 5: trying to survive.
15:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was your name or not? Penny Lane based
15:34
Speaker 1: on the Beatles song? I don't know what it.
15:36
Speaker 3: Was based on.
15:36
Speaker 1: I can't imagine she was accidentally named Penny Lane. I mean,
15:40
Speaker 1: that would be an amazing coincidence. And I'm sure that
15:42
Speaker 1: her parents.
15:43
Speaker 4: Town Superman was dating Penny Lane. That would sound like
15:48
Speaker 4: somebody out of a car a comic book, swis Lane
15:52
Speaker 4: los right? So yeah, Penny Lane, Penny Lane, the Beatles.
15:55
Speaker 4: That's a cool name. That's a very cool, isn't.
15:59
Speaker 1: It, especially for a film director. I hope she does
16:03
Speaker 1: well with this movie. I do want to go see it.
16:05
Speaker 1: Let's get a.
16:05
Speaker 5: Talk back, correct me if I'm wrong. Way back when
16:09
Speaker 5: Watergate was being tried in the Senate, when they questioned G.
16:13
Speaker 5: Gordon Liddy and they asked him if he is going
16:16
Speaker 5: to tell the truth, he actually said no, and they
16:20
Speaker 5: had to stop the hearings because nobody had ever said that.
16:24
Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct. He said no because he didn't feel
16:29
Speaker 1: like he had to answer the questions. He didn't feel
16:32
Speaker 1: like the committee had any say in what he was doing.
16:36
Speaker 3: You knew G. Gordon Yeah, yeah, I.
16:37
Speaker 4: Would substitute for him when he debated was the most
16:41
Speaker 4: popular debate on campuses at the time, the heads versus
16:45
Speaker 4: the Feds, So you had Timothy Leary, the LSD guru
16:49
Speaker 4: versus G.
16:50
Speaker 3: Gordon Liddy.
16:51
Speaker 4: Would actually lock him up one time as the ADA
16:54
Speaker 4: in Dutchess County. They really got along well. I got
16:57
Speaker 4: along with the both of them eventually, But whenever G.
17:00
Speaker 4: Gordon Liddy wasn't available, guess who took his place? Yes, truly,
17:05
Speaker 4: Curtis sliwa Man held great to bitch.
17:08
Speaker 1: He not only said no when he was asked if
17:12
Speaker 1: he would take the fifth he said no when they
17:14
Speaker 1: said that he had to take an oath to swear in,
17:18
Speaker 1: and they asked him to take the oath, and he
17:20
Speaker 1: went no, nope. He just refused to do anything, and
17:25
Speaker 1: he felt like he was on solid ground doing that.
17:28
Speaker 1: Let's get the News at seven point thirty with Daria
17:31
Speaker 1: Albinger Derry.
17:32
Speaker 6: This morning, guys, A recovery mission is underway in the
17:34
Speaker 6: Passaic River for a ten year old girl who was
17:36
Speaker 6: swept away last night. She was one of three kids
17:39
Speaker 6: who went into the New Jersey River at about six pm.
17:42
Speaker 6: The body of a ten year old boy was found
17:43
Speaker 6: a few hours later. His eleven year old sister managed
17:46
Speaker 6: to make it back to shore well. The US carried
17:49
Speaker 6: out a heavy wave of new strikes on Iran last night.
17:52
Speaker 6: They hit dozens of targets in response to Tuesday nights
17:55
Speaker 6: ballistic missile attacks on Iran by Iran rather on American
17:58
Speaker 6: forces in the Middle East. Sencom says the US successfully
18:01
Speaker 6: intercepted all of those missiles. Todd Blanch's nomination to be
18:06
Speaker 6: US Attorney generalism question for the moment. Texas Republican Senator
18:09
Speaker 6: John Corny says he will not vote to confirm Blanche,
18:13
Speaker 6: who's now acting AG, until the Justice Department provides a
18:16
Speaker 6: written commitment that a proposed one point eight billion dollar
18:20
Speaker 6: anti weaponization fund is off the table for good. Well,
18:24
Speaker 6: it's hard enough to say Cyclo Spoor ray yis got
18:28
Speaker 6: at that time, but it's even worse if you get it.
18:31

18:34
Speaker 6: forty five states. Next News eight o'clock bulletins at once.
18:38
Speaker 6: I'm Daria Albinger on seven to ten WR.
18:41
Speaker 3: Thank you, Daria.
18:41
Speaker 1: Well, the story of the day, obviously is the one
18:44
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about, the hearing with Anthony Falci. There were
18:48
Speaker 1: some stars born on that day, and one of them
18:51
Speaker 1: is Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, who was just amazing. Will
18:56
Speaker 1: play some of his questioning of Fauci coming up next. Also,
19:00
Speaker 1: you don't have to travel this summer to hear something new.

Speaker 1: cc RNE dot com. It's also tickets. Today Natalie and
20:08
Speaker 1: I both got a text from Curtis saying, just listen
20:12
Speaker 1: to the Senator Josh Hawley across examination of Fauci. It
20:17
Speaker 1: was magnificent, I would say, the best of the Republican
20:21
Speaker 1: attacks on Fauci. And I would have to agree. I
20:25
Speaker 1: think everybody felt that it was flawless. And from the
20:31
Speaker 1: beginning when he tried to take the fifth, first of all,
20:34
Speaker 1: he said to him in the beginning, is my tie read?
20:37
Speaker 1: And he said, I'm taking the fifth to show him
20:39
Speaker 1: how ridiculous that was. And he ended that.
20:42
Speaker 7: With this on the Advisive Council, I respectfully declined to
20:46
Speaker 7: answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to
20:49
Speaker 7: the Constitution.
20:50
Speaker 3: Let's just get one things straight.
20:51
Speaker 8: You don't have any rights under the Fifth Amendment because
20:53
Speaker 8: you've been pardoned, as you very well know, as a
20:56
Speaker 8: Supreme Court has been clear for a century more Brown
20:59
Speaker 8: versus Walker, eighteen ninety six. When he has been pardoned,
21:02
Speaker 8: he may not stand upon his privilege. You know that
21:06
Speaker 8: your lawyer are sitting behind you now, shifting nervously in
21:09
Speaker 8: their chairs.
21:09
Speaker 3: They know it.
21:10
Speaker 8: This isn't about the Constitution, This isn't about the law.
21:12
Speaker 8: This is about contempt, contempt for this body and contempt
21:16
Speaker 8: for the American people.
21:17
Speaker 4: And he was just winding up just the start, and
21:21
Speaker 4: he it had to be the most embarrassing moment, this
21:25
Speaker 4: series of questions that he eventually asked that Fauci took
21:31
Speaker 4: the Fifth to. These are things like, well, I'm sure
21:34
Speaker 4: you have some of them in there.
21:35
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I have a lot of stuff. Here's one
21:38
Speaker 1: that was put in kind of new and I think
21:40
Speaker 1: it's what you were referring to yesterday. So I'm playing
21:44
Speaker 1: this without listening to it. So but I got a feel,
21:47
Speaker 1: and you're gonna like this.
21:48
Speaker 3: Whatbly the weak is it today?
21:54
Speaker 7: On the divisive Council? I respectfully declined to answer, based
21:58
Speaker 7: upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
22:00
Speaker 3: What color tie you're wearing?
22:04
Speaker 7: On the divisive Council? I respectfully declined to answer, based
22:07
Speaker 7: upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
22:10
Speaker 3: What colors the carpet in front of you?
22:13
Speaker 7: On the advisive Council, I respectfully declined to answer, based
22:17
Speaker 7: upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
22:21
Speaker 4: That's it. And he went on and on color of carpet.
22:25
Speaker 4: His chief of staff, he gave the name. He wouldn't
22:27
Speaker 4: answer it. It personal has said, that's you. We're just
22:29
Speaker 4: asking basic questions. And I looked at Fauci at that moment,
22:35
Speaker 4: and I can almost read his mind because he went
22:37
Speaker 4: to a Jesuit high school. I went to a Jesuit
22:39
Speaker 4: high school. You almost know what he was thinking. I've
22:42
Speaker 4: spent my whole life trying to make my name Fauci
22:47
Speaker 4: mean something, and now it's gone. I'm not even answering
22:53
Speaker 4: questions that have nothing to do with COVID coronavirus. National
22:57
Speaker 4: Health simply, what is the all your time?
23:00
Speaker 3: Why didn't you answer that?
23:02
Speaker 2: Right?
23:03
Speaker 1: You don't have to take the fifth for that. He
23:05
Speaker 1: must have been told. He felt stupid. You could see
23:07
Speaker 1: it in that face. He felt stupid. But he was
23:09
Speaker 1: told by his attorneys take the fifth on every question.
23:13
Speaker 3: Day is it?
23:15
Speaker 4: What does that have to do with coronavirus so covid
23:19
Speaker 4: or the forty years that he was head of our
23:22
Speaker 4: National Health Services?
23:23
Speaker 3: What's the color of your time? Exactly?
23:26
Speaker 8: Now?
23:26
Speaker 4: I looked at him and I said, wow, you really
23:29
Speaker 4: do feel like a schmuck and a punch up dare.
23:32
Speaker 1: He was the most famous person in America and now
23:35
Speaker 1: he's here having to take the fifth. And Josh Halway
23:39
Speaker 1: thinks he knows why he's doing all this, why he
23:42
Speaker 1: had to take the fifth.
23:43
Speaker 8: But I think I know why you're doing it. It's
23:44
Speaker 8: because you don't want to answer questions. It's because you
23:49
Speaker 8: did all kinds of terrible things. It's because during the pandemic.
23:52
Speaker 3: You got rich, didn't you.
23:54
Speaker 8: You got rich while people were dying, hundreds of thousands
23:58
Speaker 8: of Americans over a minus in the end, and you
24:01
Speaker 8: were getting rich. And not only were you doing that,
24:03
Speaker 8: you were using federal employees with taxpayer money to apply
24:08
Speaker 8: for and solicit cash prizes for you personally.
24:13
Speaker 1: And when he got millions of dollars from those cash prizes,
24:17
Speaker 1: they said to him, well, this is going to go
24:18
Speaker 1: to the department. And he fought them. He fought the
24:22
Speaker 1: Justice Department to have the money to go to him.
24:25
Speaker 1: And by the way, he was Anthony Felchi at the time,
24:28
Speaker 1: the big star of America and he ended up getting
24:30
Speaker 1: that money. But think of that, while people were dying, right,
24:34
Speaker 1: he used his entire step.
24:36
Speaker 4: This is very similar to Andrew evilised Cuomo in the
24:39
Speaker 4: middle of the lockdown and pandemic. He's using his staff,
24:42
Speaker 4: remember to write his book, his memoir. Right, Anthony Fauci
24:46
Speaker 4: is using his staff in the middle of this crisis
24:51
Speaker 4: of which we've never experienced in our life, to be
24:54
Speaker 4: soliciting the scientific Awards for cash prizes and sending them
24:59
Speaker 4: letters recommendation of they're spending all of their time doing
25:03
Speaker 4: this instead of doing the work that was so necessary
25:07
Speaker 4: at that moment.
25:07
Speaker 1: Well, it's worse than that. He was doing interviews, he
25:11
Speaker 1: was talking to celebrities, he was going to parties, he
25:14
Speaker 1: was having a grand old time while people were dying,
25:17
Speaker 1: and that was supposed to be his sole job solving
25:22
Speaker 1: this crisis. I'll give you an example, because Josh Holly
25:25
Speaker 1: gave the example. He was on the cover of in
25:28
Speaker 1: Style magazine and they put up a huge picture of
25:31
Speaker 1: him on the cover.
25:33
Speaker 3: Here's what you were doing with your time.
25:34
Speaker 8: You could sit for in Style magazine, but you can't
25:38
Speaker 8: answer questions for the American people. You could sit for
25:41
Speaker 8: in Style magazine, but you're here taking the fifth You
25:43
Speaker 8: could sit for in Style magazine and get a million
25:46
Speaker 8: bucks in cash awards.
25:48
Speaker 3: But now the cat's got your tongue. I bet he does.
25:52
Speaker 3: Now we're not talking the New England Journal of Medicine,
25:56
Speaker 3: I mean in Style magazine.
25:58
Speaker 4: Come on, First of all, they never had anyone that
26:01
Speaker 4: old in Style magazine.
26:03
Speaker 3: Number two.
26:04
Speaker 4: What you know, it's photo shoots, so it takes forever.
26:07
Speaker 4: You know, they don't just come in one or two shots.
26:09
Speaker 4: It takes for you say to yourself. Harley was exactly right.
26:14
Speaker 4: Why yeah?
26:16
Speaker 1: And he remember he he talked about it in his
26:19
Speaker 1: diary that day and he was thrilled that they picked him,
26:23
Speaker 1: and they gave him an outfit that he says, I
26:25
Speaker 1: wouldn't normally wear it was sneakers with slacks and a
26:29
Speaker 1: cash mirror. I normally wouldn't wear that, and they had
26:31
Speaker 1: me in the stool and the stool was uncomfortable. You
26:34
Speaker 1: could see he was reveling in the moment that he
26:37
Speaker 1: was going.
26:38
Speaker 4: To notice that of the many photos they took of him,
26:41
Speaker 4: he wasn't wearing a mask, even though he was telling
26:44
Speaker 4: the rest of us, you must wear a mask.
26:48
Speaker 1: He was wrong and he lied about everything. Remember the
26:52
Speaker 1: masks when he first said, oh, no, you don't need one,
26:54
Speaker 1: and then he came back and said, you do need one.
26:57
Speaker 4: Remember they caught him up in Washington Nash Nash Stadium,
27:00
Speaker 4: no masch gone while having a conversation. I love what
27:03
Speaker 4: Trump posted yesterday, a six year old video of that's right,
27:09
Speaker 4: Washington National fan Fauci throwing out maybe the worst first
27:14
Speaker 4: pitch in the history of baseball for the Washington Nationals.
27:18
Speaker 4: I'd like to compare it to Obama. Remember Obama way
27:21
Speaker 4: in Chicago. Why said that was horrible and fitty sick
27:24
Speaker 4: who did it at a met game.
27:25
Speaker 1: I didn't like that when he said did that, because
27:28
Speaker 1: you know that's it gets to be silliness. And this
27:30
Speaker 1: is a guy that lied to us during a pandemic.
27:33
Speaker 1: He should be in jail. I want to tell you, Pauy,
27:35
Speaker 1: let me give you this conclusion.
27:37
Speaker 8: Here's my conclusion from all of this. This was really
27:40
Speaker 8: all about you the whole time. Somewhere along the way
27:42
Speaker 8: you lost your way. You may have been a good
27:45
Speaker 8: public servant at one time. I don't know, but I
27:48
Speaker 8: can tell you from reading your emails now, from looking
27:50
Speaker 8: at what you did, how you used your employees, Somewhere
27:53
Speaker 8: along the line it became all about you. You became
27:57
Speaker 8: a narcissist and a megalomaniac, and and you've lied to
28:01
Speaker 8: the American people, and you've lied to this body, and
28:04
Speaker 8: you've disgraced your profession by doing it. You called yourself
28:07
Speaker 8: the most famous scientist in the world. You've done more
28:09
Speaker 8: to harm science than anybody in my lifetime. And I
28:12
Speaker 8: hope you'll go home and write that in your diary.
28:15
Speaker 1: That was just rip that was It's over. It's over, brilliant, brilliant.
28:21
Speaker 1: I love how he said. I hope you go home
28:23
Speaker 1: and write that in your diary. That was a perfect ending.
28:27
Speaker 1: And that's how he ended the whole thing.
28:29
Speaker 4: While speaking of rips, another e by death another problem
28:34
Speaker 4: affecting us here in the city of New York. It's
28:37
Speaker 4: just an endless problem that could be dealt with, but
28:41
Speaker 4: it's not well.
28:43
Speaker 1: As somebody who spent a career reporting the news all
28:46
Speaker 1: across the country, I've been on the streets and seen
28:49
Speaker 1: some awful things. I know how quickly an ordinary moment
28:53
Speaker 1: can turn into an emergency, a life or death emergency.
28:58
Speaker 1: One of the most common examples of that is choking.
29:02
Speaker 1: It's one of those moments that can happen to anyone
29:05
Speaker 1: anytime they sit down or have a snack when they're
29:07
Speaker 1: watching television. It can happen to a child, it can
29:10
Speaker 1: happen to a parent, it can happen to your grandparent.
29:12
Speaker 1: When it does, seconds matter, Knowing what to do matters.
29:18
Speaker 1: That's why I want to tell you about life fac
29:20
Speaker 1: Life Fact is the first and only FDA authorized suction
29:25
Speaker 1: anti choking device that can be used for second line
29:28
Speaker 1: treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed without success.
29:34
Speaker 1: It literally just sucks the food right out of your throat.
29:39
Speaker 1: And here's what's remarkable. Life Back has helped save over
29:42
Speaker 1: six thousand lives worldwide. There are real people were talking
29:47
Speaker 1: about families that are still together, children that are still alive.
29:53
Speaker 1: Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby can make all
29:58
Speaker 1: the difference. More about life fact today at lifefac dot net.
30:03
Speaker 1: That's lifefack dot net. Visit lifefact dot net and see
30:08
Speaker 1: how you can be ready when it counts.
30:11
Speaker 4: And Gotham City, a problem that always transpires is normally
30:16
Speaker 4: an e bike rider. They're not licensed, there's no registration,
30:21
Speaker 4: there's no insurance, there's no culpability. They pilot up and
30:26
Speaker 4: down the streets. They've caused their own deaths this case
30:30
Speaker 4: that just happened yesterday, other people's deaths, bicyclists, deaths on
30:36
Speaker 4: the bridges. It's endless and they've committed crime after crime
30:40
Speaker 4: and been able to get away with it. Like I've
30:42
Speaker 4: mentioned Larry, as I stalk those e bike riders in
30:47
Speaker 4: the wee hours in the morning who were rolling up
30:50
Speaker 4: to the blue mailboxes and stealing mail, you know, with
30:54
Speaker 4: their belts as they push him down in there with
30:56
Speaker 4: the rat tape on both sides, it just sucks up.
31:00
Speaker 4: There were all illegal e bikes, no enforcement whatsoever, and
31:05
Speaker 4: the mayor has rolled back any of the limited enforcement
31:10
Speaker 4: that existed before So let's just take the case yesterday
31:13
Speaker 4: as a teenager riding over the Brooklyn Bridge and an
31:17
Speaker 4: illegal e bike. It should never have even been sold.
31:21
Speaker 4: So we'll see if in fact there's any follow up
31:24
Speaker 4: on that. He's carrying flowers, he's got other things. And
31:28
Speaker 4: where does it crash into an suv right in front
31:32
Speaker 4: of one Center Street by the Brooklyn Bridge, across some
31:36
Speaker 4: city hall, no helmet on driving recklessly as reported by
31:42
Speaker 4: others who were in their vehicles at the time, nine am,
31:45
Speaker 4: the start of the workday, dead on arrival, seventeen years old.
31:50
Speaker 4: And you say to yourself, how many more times does
31:53
Speaker 4: this have to happen before the mayor and the police commissioned.
31:59
Speaker 4: You see, the police commissioner could make a beef about this,
32:02
Speaker 4: so she could really say, hey, you know, I'm responsible
32:05
Speaker 4: for enforcement for the City of New York, and I
32:09
Speaker 4: am going to instruct the cops to start stopping these
32:12
Speaker 4: individuals and not just ticketing them, but in fact seizing
32:16
Speaker 4: their bikes. For instance, this young man before he died
32:20
Speaker 4: was riding a deep power electric bike, which is illegal
32:24
Speaker 4: to sell it and operate in New York City because
32:26
Speaker 4: it accelerates the speeds upwards of forty miles an hour.
32:31
Speaker 4: We all know this is being done, and yet the
32:35
Speaker 4: lawlessness continues and lives are at stake. So you would say,
32:40
Speaker 4: if you're into preventing people from being hurt, you got
32:45
Speaker 4: to go back to Bob Holden, the former city councilman
32:48
Speaker 4: who was term limited, who wanted Kendrick's Law, which was
32:52
Speaker 4: to basically enforce put enforcement into place, that these people
32:57
Speaker 4: have to be regulated the same way that anybody else.
33:00
Speaker 4: If you're on a motorcycle, you're regulated. If you're driving
33:03
Speaker 4: a car, you're regulated. You got to have insurance, you
33:06
Speaker 4: got to have a registration, all of those things. Nope,
33:09
Speaker 4: not these e bikes. Not in the state, not in
33:12
Speaker 4: the city. New Jersey just passed a law where everybody
33:15
Speaker 4: has to have a license. And the importance of having
33:18
Speaker 4: a license is not just to identify a person, but
33:22
Speaker 4: you have to go through a process to get that license.
33:25
Speaker 4: For instance, you need to know the rules of the road,
33:28
Speaker 4: you need to take a driving test. I'm not even
33:31
Speaker 4: sure why the city of New York or the State
33:33
Speaker 4: of New York doesn't do this, because it does bring
33:36
Speaker 4: in more money. You have to pay to do those things.
33:39
Speaker 4: You have to pay to get the license. You have
33:41
Speaker 4: to pay to re up that license, so it would
33:43
Speaker 4: bring in revenue. But more important than that, it would
33:47
Speaker 4: make sure that people know how to drive these things,
33:51
Speaker 4: and there should be a license on them so that
33:53
Speaker 4: you can see.
33:54
Speaker 1: Who they are and if it is a legal bike.
33:58
Speaker 1: Most importantly, it should be able to go over twenty
34:01
Speaker 1: miles an hour.
34:02
Speaker 3: That's it's these are.
34:03
Speaker 1: This is simple legislation that will save lives and make
34:06
Speaker 1: it much easier on the roads.
34:08
Speaker 4: Larry, in Manhattan, we see it and it's bad, but
34:12
Speaker 4: in the outer boroughs it's even worse. They come on
34:15
Speaker 4: the sidewalks, they take up traffic. Sometimes they'll group up
34:20
Speaker 4: together and they will be like modern day Hell's Angels,
34:24
Speaker 4: just causing chaos. Older people are terrified of them. They
34:28
Speaker 4: won't even come out of their homes at times just
34:30
Speaker 4: to do the basics because you can hear them going
34:33
Speaker 4: up like nats. You know they man, they are terrorists
34:37
Speaker 4: on two wheels. A lot of them wearing masks, so
34:40
Speaker 4: you can't even identify them. Once they let's say, bump
34:43
Speaker 4: into somebody or knock somebody over, you have.
34:46
Speaker 3: No way of finding. So even though they're all on
34:48
Speaker 3: video they're waving.
34:49
Speaker 4: Many of them are so bold, so so abrazen. They
34:53
Speaker 4: wave at the cameras that are everywhere, and it's basically,
34:56
Speaker 4: you can't do nothing to us.
34:57
Speaker 1: It's the biggest hazard in the city on the roads.
35:01
Speaker 1: I run into it every single day. First of all,
35:05
Speaker 1: when you're walking to your car, you almost get hit
35:07
Speaker 1: by one because for some idiotic reasons, they put the
35:10
Speaker 1: bike lanes in between the pavement and the park cars
35:15
Speaker 1: so you can't even see them coming. I've learned how
35:17
Speaker 1: to stop, but several times I've almost got hit. Then
35:20
Speaker 1: when I get in my car and i'm driving, I
35:22
Speaker 1: have to worry about someone coming through a red light
35:25
Speaker 1: the wrong way on a one way street and speeding
35:28
Speaker 1: and almost hitting a pedestrian. I see it every single day.
35:32
Speaker 4: This is all on Zorhan. He rolled back to few
35:36
Speaker 4: restrictions that existed. There weren't many to begin with. He
35:40
Speaker 4: just eliminated him. And you know why, a lot of
35:43
Speaker 4: them are illegal aliens. They claim they're using it, you know,
