And it's a great Monday morning here in your nation's capital on our flagship station, WMAL, and Coast to Coast on our network. It's O'Connor and Company in the Relief Factory studio. Good morning. A lot of developments while you were sleeping, if you're just rubbing the... Sleep out of your eyes and getting yourself some coffee. You're going to be surprised to learn that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has announced that he will indeed resign his position. It's not a big surprise, actually. It's been rumored for a few weeks. And I think the president put out a truth social about it, sort of preempting the announcement, which is sort of the final humiliation for Keir Starmer's placement on the world stage. We're going to get into the details of that and some developments. with the negotiations with Iran in Geneva. Yesterday was a consequential first day of those discussions as there were more threats of shutting down the Strait of Hormuz because of the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Hezbollah terrorists who continue to shoot rockets into that nation from Lebanon. After that threat to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, the president spoke with Trey Yanks, the reporter from Fox News, who was stationed in Israel, and the report was astounding. Here's Trey Yinks yesterday, relaying what the president had to say. I just spoke with President Trump for more than 20 minutes, and he gave some new insight and reaction about the ongoing talks that are taking place in Switzerland and the threats coming from the Iranian regime. President Trump telling Fox News that the U.S. may take over the strait in the future if they have to and collect tolls. The president described this as the United States being the guardian angel of the Strait of Hormuz and the Middle East. And the president said ultimately that would involve the U.S. taking 20% of the oil that passes through the strait. Remember, this comes in reaction to the Iranians, saying they will close the strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon. President Trump tells Fox News he spoke with Iranian officials overnight and said, you close it and you won't have a country. He went on to tell these officials, you won't even make it back to your effing country. Okay, there you go. Good way to start those negotiations. It's like we're back two months ago with the president making threats that the country will no longer exist. And we'll take over the strait of hormones. And we'll take your oil too, darn it. Meanwhile, almost simultaneously, the vice president in Geneva, after what appeared to be, at least optically, a shaky start with some awkward moments without handshakes, without formal greetings. The vice president addressed the media.

I think it's important for the American people, but people all over the world to appreciate that what's brought us to this moment is the president's leadership and the president's willingness to see a Middle East that is much different 10 years from now than it was 10 years ago. And what we're trying to accomplish here is something very simple. Through diplomacy, through working together to transform the Middle East, where Iran and the Gulf have been at war with each other or at least have had very unfriendly relations. where Iran has been a driver of regional instability. Now we see a future where everybody can work together to promote peace and prosperity for everyone. What we have already seen back home in the United States is lower gas prices. We've seen the free flow of oil and gas. We've seen peace. And now we're trying to build on that to see if we can build something even better and more sustainable for the future. Really going on in Lake Lucerne. By the way, everyone's like, oh, the vice president would want to be there. Let me just tell you something. The day of the summer solstice, longest day of the year, beginning of the summer, you're in Lake Lucerne, Switzerland. Trust me. Even having to deal with all these negotiations, it's, well, buffeted a bit by the environment. Let's make sense of all this with Steve Yates, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. There's a lot to get to here, and we haven't even scratched the surface on Keir Starmer stepping down. But what do you make of these developments here with Iran, the president's threats, and did we actually get anywhere in Switzerland? Well, Larry, it's tough actually to slog through this. There's two levels of this playing out at the same time. There's sort of what we see. And then there's sort of the tectonic plates that I think are shifting. And I think on that tectonic plates part of it, the broader Middle East has been reconstructed in fundamental ways under President Trump's first term and the better part of his second term so far. The military campaign against the Iran, by any reasonable estimation, was an overwhelming success for our military against the targets that have been assigned. And when you choose not to invade, occupy, and run a country, and you also choose not to follow the by-the-threat by diplomacy-only options, which are sort of the bookends of Obama and what people might think of the Bush administration, then you're going to get some ambiguity and some murkiness that you have to work through. And so the tectonic plates are moving very, very well, I would assess. But the way it looks, it's tough to watch sometimes. So the theatrics of are the Iranians in the room or out of the room? Is the straight open or is it not open? I have some sympathy for people who are in news cycles and everyday life thinking, how do I know this is working? And one rule of politics I learned from TV, so it must be true. It's not enough to do good. You have to be seen doing good. And I think we need to see a little bit more. to feel the reassurance that I think a lot of people are reaching for. This is Steve Yates, Heritage Foundation. And it's everyone that I speak with that knows anything about the military and about, they're telling me they're going to be writing books about what our military has been able to accomplish in such a short time against Iran, including the blockade, which is, you know, a classic.

the Naval Academy all into itself. But here's the problem. When the American people are looking at a successful military campaign, we're not used to then feeling the brunt of that. You know, when our gas is more expensive than it was before the military campaign began, and then, of course, with energy costs going up, that means everything else costs more, doesn't feel like success. And was that sort of the pressure point here for the president to move forward with these talks. I do think that there was some pressure on that front. I mean, the perception of affordability is a fundamental issue that is going to be slogged out through the midterm election, but it's also a fundamental. I mean, I'll never, ever forget the 1992 presidential campaign where the fundamentals of the American economy were actually quite strong, but the perception was that we were in recession when we were not. And that is what fueled the Ross Perot movement, and we ended up with Clinton presidency. And so it's a risky feeling. in our politics. But the president and the team needs to be able to stabilize the straight first, I think. They say they're headed in the right direction and things are flowing that will affect markets. The big issue about insurers honoring the ships to move through the straight, I think, is an under... appreciated part of this. Alloys of London really, I think, failed the world over the last three months in making people have insurance that cost too much to take the risk to move. That, I think, was separate from the Iranian threat and the military issue. Do you find it interesting and noteworthy because a lot of people were making note of it, that the vice president is the one who's sort of opening these talks and managing the discussions over in Europe versus our Secretary of State versus Marco Rubio? Do you read anything into that? Well, I can't blame anyone for trying to read things in, and we're all grasping at who's executing. And there's some people, as we approach a midterm naturally, are looking at the future. And this is somewhat of an audition for JD Vance on the world stage on a real national security negotiation beyond preaching truth to Europe about. you need to save your civilizations. This is hard work. And there isn't a guarantee of success in this. So I think it's natural people will watch. Having worked for a vice president 20 plus years ago, I do think that when a president asks a sitting vice president to step in, that is an indication of something important that needs to get done. Unlike, say, when Joe Biden asked Kamala Harris to solve the border crisis, I think this is one where a president really wants someone. managing this. And I would also say in fairness, the administration is doing more at once on national security across the world than any I've ever seen in my entire life. And so it's not as if Marco Rubio is taking a breather on the sidelines. We're greasing some boats in our own hemisphere that are trying to bring drugs into our country. We've got elections in Colombia and up and down Latin America that can change our hemisphere. So they're doing a lot at once.

Steve Yates, Senior Research Fellow of the Heritage Foundation's joining us with a lot going on on the international stage as we start our morning this Monday in the nation's capital. Steve, one more question on this. when will they actually get some real focus on the uranium enrichment component? It seems all the discussion right now is about, is about Hezbollah, about Lebanon, about Israel, about the Strait of Hormuz and all of that jazz. And it seems like the whole point of all of this has to do with that nuclear program and the disposition of that enriched uranium. Well, from what I can see, that is the most important issue, but it is not the most urgent issue. And what I mean by that is I think we have physically decimated the facilities where these materials exist. And they don't exist in a form that would be easy for anyone to make much use of. in a quick timeline so in some ways we've bought time for how do we get at an international monitoring operation and removal operation maybe having to go very very deep into the earth to remove these substances that isn't the most urgent it is very very important a core reason why the president chose to use force uh but the straits and the oil markets it's not just about the money uh there's there you know there's an awful lot of our livelihoods that we wear and we eat that are based on petroleum products. People just think of it as fueling their cars and prices at the pump. But there's a lot else in this global supply chain. And that is, I think, the more urgent. And it's also, I think, what people perceive as how is it that we've overwhelmingly defeated them and it's not open. Stay with us, Mr. Yitz. I want to talk to you about Keir Starmer stepping down what that means and whether that's sort of a bellwether for the political wins, as we saw with Brexit a few years ago. More to come on O'Connor and Company. For nearly 3,000 years, Homer's The Odyssey has shaped Western imagination. It tells the story of Odysseus as he faces monsters, shipwrecks, false comforts, and impossible choices on his long journey home. As one of the foundational works of Western literature, Homer's epic is more than a mythology. It explores permanent questions about courage, duty, loyalty, family, leadership, temptation, and the search. For home. In one of the epic's defining moments, Odysseus rejects the offer of immortality from the goddess Calypso, choosing instead the long and difficult journey home. His decision reveals one of the central themes of the Odyssey that a life of duty, family, and home is greater than a life devoted to comfort or glory. Achilles chose glory. Odysseus chose home. That's why Hillsdale College has released its newest free online course, The Odyssey, taught by Professor Benedict Wayland. The course reveals why Homer's masterpiece remains one of the greatest works of Western literature. Find this free course at Charlie for Hillsdale.com. That's Charlie for Hillsdale.com.

Good morning. It's 22 minutes after the hour here on the East Coast in your nation's capital. Coming up in our next segment, we're going to discuss Tulsi Gabbard's going out the door revelations there at the office of Director of National Intelligence, where she told quite a story about Anthony Fauci's behavior with regard to the COVID-19 virus, what he did, what he didn't reveal, and maybe what he perjured himself over. Maybe we'll be testing out that auto pen. pardon that he got. We'll get into that coming up in the next segment. Will we continue right now with Steve Yates, Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation? Because beyond all of the discussions over Iran and the dealings with Lebanon and, most specifically, Hezbollah and Israel, we also had a huge development in the United Kingdom this morning as Keir Starmer announced his resignation. What led to this, Steve Yates? Well, Larry, I firmly believe that the Henry Nowak situation was the final straw for Keir Starmer. He has not been in a strong political position. And he had an overwhelming election victory that brought an into office, seemed to have a mandate. Rarely do you see someone blow something like that so quickly and so profoundly. But I think the Henry Nowak situation for people who might not remember. Remind our listeners if you don't mind. So an 18-year-old young student who was murdered by Sikh British citizen, who then he and his brother called their version of 911 and claimed that they were being attacked on racial grounds by the victim. And literally the DEI that we have fought in the United States was written into the code of the British police so that they believed the racism over what their own eyes would have told them of hear someone with multiple stab wounds. And we have on body cam his final words as he expired in their custody in handcuffs. And the police just ignored the fatality. The police just ignored him. He was begging for help. And because the murderer claimed that he had used racial epithets of some sort, the police just, that's all they focused on, right? And they did this knowingly. And so I think this was a profound wake-up call where there were a lot of British citizens who had gone to the polls and voted for Nigel Farage's reform in recent local elections. And, of course, there are issues of immigration that would sound very, very familiar to some of the problems that have happened in America's not too distant past. But I really think it's this intersection of immigration out of control, a feeling of a cultural civilization falling out from under its citizens and then feeling like, oh my gosh, this is imprinted into the law books about two-tier systems, and this is not acceptable. I think that was the final straw for Keir Starmer. Why am I feeling deja vu here? This feels just like the spring of 2016 and this...

surprise referendum on the Brexit that was led by Nigel Farage. And here we go again. Do you see this as some kind of bellwether to what the mood is like here in the United States? Well, I do think that there is sort of a harmony going back and forth in the two systems. Maybe that's the still part of the relationship that's still special. And I think when we watch what's happening there, the Labor Party wants to go with someone they think will have more charisma. But I think they've lost the plot. And it might be just in their DNA that they can't follow the plot. They think that they need more populism of their flavor. Yeah. But they don't seem to understand the ground has moved and the citizenry has moved. And they're not talking about the policies that people want. And it's not about can you speak better in front of a camera than Keir Starmer. And the person with charisma, is that Andy Burnham? Is that the person who they're embracing it? Because he just won a special election for a seat in Parliament. And now he's going to basically challenge the leadership of Kirsten. That's remarkable that he wasn't even in parliament, just won a seat. And now he could potentially be the next prime minister. Another one of those echoes out of our system where you end up with people that are like the squad and the Democrats who are coming from what they think is a new populism of the left, where they can be maybe advocates for decentralization and local control, but to do what? Ultimately, to put in place the policies that led to Henry Nowak's demise and this sense of a nation hurting and breaking. Well, you just said we have a special relationship and we do and there's so much that we share in common when you see these protests in the streets of the English feeling like it's illegal to be English. I think that it sort of resonates with a lot of Americans here as well when you see the policies that we are hoping that President Trump is leading us out of. So it'll be interesting to see what happens next over in London. Thank you so much for joining us, Steve. Pleasure. Thank you, Larry. Steve Yates, Heritage Foundation, good guy, along with everyone else over at Heritage Foundation. Good, smart, and pro-American. How about that? Coming up, did you see what Tulsi Gabbard said about Anthony Fauci? And should we be testing out that autopen pardon? We'll get to it. Coming up next. Your education is more than a path to a degree. At Regent University, it's an important step in God's plan for your career. It's where you'll be equipped to lead and serve with purpose.

It's O'Connor and Company here at 33 minutes after the hour in Washington, D.C. A question for you. We can only prosecute Anthony Fauci. for crimes that may have occurred when he was overseeing the COVID-19 response and maybe perjury, we can only prosecute him if he doesn't have an active pardon. And we're told he has an active pardon from Joe Biden. It was the last one on the way out the door. It was the auto pen that did it, by the way. We're told that Anthony Fauci was begging for it like that morning of the 20th before President Trump became the president of the United States. And he got it. He got his pardon. But now we're learning that he needed that pardon pretty bad, it appears, because there seemed to be a good handful of crimes that he committed, not least of which lying to Congress. Then, of course, there's the entire cover-up, falsifying documents, hiding emails from the American people that would have shown that everything who is telling us about the COVID-19 virus and the reaction to the pandemic was, well, false. He knew a lot more than he was telling anybody about it. And the entire notion that he kept pushing that it just occurred naturally in some bat soup at a Wuhan food market, he knew before he ever uttered those claims that it was false. He knew exactly where the virus came from. And in fact, it appears that he may have even engineered the creation of the virus with American tax dollars too. So the question for you at 855-784-4255. Should they go ahead and prosecute him anyway? Should they bring charges against Anthony Fauci? Let a judge decide whether that auto pen pardon for any crimes that he may have committed for 10 years, whether that's a valid pardon. Because a lot of people say the auto pen is not a valid means and method of... providing somebody a pardon. But the only way you can challenge the legality of those auto pen pardons is to actually bring charges against somebody. Then let him say, yeah, yeah, hey, you can't prosecute me. I've got a pardon. And then let a judge say, no, that's not really a pardon. That's not Joe Biden's signature. I don't even know if Joe Biden authorized the use of the auto pen for this. So do you think that they need to bring charges against Anthony Fauci, or do you think that'll just be seen as President Trump using the Justice Department for political purposes and how dare you? This is third world stuff. What do you think? 855784-4255. I'd love to hear your opinion about that. I know my opinion. Absolutely. Charge him and challenge these auto pen. pardons. It would be remarkable. Let's get to the details of what we learned here as Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence on her final day, released an approximately five or six minute video detailing exactly what they were revealing. As the DNI website put out on their ex-feed, before the COVID-19 pandemic, Anthony Fauci, as head of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,

And we didn't walk away thinking, oh, well, you know, sure, Trump may have lost. And Joe Biden is the most popular politician in the history of our country getting more votes than any human being ever has in our nation's history. We didn't walk away thinking that that was true and valid. I don't know any other than Joe Biden, who's, of course, got mashed potato for brains. All of those protocols that were thrown out the window for basic election integrity were motivated by the social distancing protocols implemented at the behest of the entire team there at the CDC and the National Association of Infectious Diseases, allergy and infectious diseases, everything that Anthony Fauci oversaw. And when questioned under oath about the social distancing in particular that led, To the relaxation of all of those basic election protocols, Anthony Fauci said, yeah, I'm not sure who came up with that. I'm not sure where the social distancing came from, just sort of came out of the blue. And that affected everything. It affected everything. And there's no paper trail to tell you exactly whose bright idea it was that we all had to socially distance by six or eight feet. That affected our schools. It affected our economy. It affected our businesses. And it affected our election. And when pressed about the origins of that virus, Anthony Fauci lied. He just lied. And now we have the paperwork. To prove it, Dr. Robert Malone, who was credited for inventing the technology that was then harnessed and utilized against his wishes, by the way, and against his scientific know-how, the technology, the MRNA technology that led to the COVID shot. Dr. Malone has been an outspoken critic of Anthony Fauci and the entire public health protocols that led to our outrageous reaction, America's outrageous reaction, to the COVID-19 virus. He took to the X platform and put together a very long thread about this issue. He began it with this. Anthony Fauci funded the Wuhan research. Then he helped steer the intelligence that cleared it. Tulsi Gabbard's final act as DNI was to declassify the proof, and it confirms what a CIA whistleblower had already sworn to Congress weeks earlier. Here's what the documents actually show, and then he goes on to detail everything that he sees there as a trained professional, as a doctor, as the person. who invented the technology that was used for the COVID shot. Dr. Malone is going to join us on this program coming up at 8 a.m. Eastern. That's in two and a half hours from now. We will get into all of these details with Dr. Malone.

But we've got the documentation and we've got the proof right now in our hands. And I want to hear from you if you can give us a call 855-784-4255. Do you think that that pardon should be tested? Do you think the Justice Department should charge Anthony Fauci with these crimes? 855-884-425. I also want to tell you a little bit and give you an update on our campaign that we've got going for AngelTree. This is the Prison Foundation, as you know. Hang on, let me get my details here. We have been all the last three plus weeks. We've been... running this campaign to send deserving kids to angel tree camp through the prison fellowship. And we're now down to only five more days. This is huge. This is the home stretch, you guys. We'd love for you to join us. I'm so proud that dozens and dozens, we've now sent over 280 kids with a mom or dad in prison to attend an angel tree camp. That's because of you. I say we because I'm just talking about it. You're doing the hard work. You're picking up the phone or you're going to my website, Larry O'show.com. You're clicking on that banner and you're giving from the heart. And I'm so grateful for you for doing that. Think about that. Our goal was 160. And we're now close to doubling that goal. in just four short weeks because of your generosity. I want to tell you a little bit more about Angel Tree Camp and what happens with these kids that go. But first, I want you to hear from Jamie from Angel Tree Camp to remind you that your donation over at Larry O'Sho.com has a profound impact by blessing kids, not just in our community, but all over the country. I believe God has an amazing cart for young ones, and we all have to come to God with childlike faith. And so if we can get these campers to camp when they're young and when they're open, and especially these campers who may be coming from hard places with special wounds and special challenges, it can put them on a life-altering path. You could be breaking generational incarceration and helping set their entire family on a different trajectory by reaching the child. And I just want to remind you, these are children who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in really dire circumstances. Yes, there's poverty involved, but beyond that, because one of their parents, usually dad, finds themselves behind bars. These children now are the unintentional victims. The sins of the father are now visited on these children. These boys and girls this summer are going to be faced with horrific, horrific influences on their lives. They're going to be surrounded by gangs and violence and crime and drugs and despair.

But you, your donation, your generosity, can pluck them from those circumstances, not only give them a week of great activities and livestock and horses and campfire songs and kayaking and all the stuff that we all love about summer camp, activities and fellowship and community that these kids without your help would never be able to enjoy. But they will also hear about the gospel. for the first time in their lives in many cases. They'll learn about how they're saved. through the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, and they leave Angel Tree Camp with a Bible to take home with them. Please go to Larry O'show.com. Click on that banner and be a part of this transformational fund drive we've been doing for the last several weeks. We've got five days left. It's the final push. Thank you for that. God bless you. We're taking your calls next. Should Anthony Fauci be prosecuted? Your education is more than a path to a degree. At Regent University, it's an important step in God's plan for your career. It's where you'll be equipped to lead and serve with purpose. It's where 40,000 graduates have prepared to fulfill their callings, and so can you. Choose the Top Rings program from over 150 areas of study on campus or online and watch what God will do. Learn more at regent.edu. That's regent.edu.

And it's a simple question. Do you think that the Justice Department should bring charges against Anthony Fauci for what appears to be crimes? Certainly at the very least perjury. He flat out said that there was no gain of function research, that it's in no way connected. But we've got paper trail now. We've got evidence that shows he knew full well the truth. And he lied about it under oath. And it appears covered it up by... withholding this evidence, these emails and all of the conversations that they had about gain of function research, our funding of that gain of function research, and how it connects directly to the Wuhan lab leak. So he's got to pardon. Autopen executed it. But the only way you can challenge the legality of those auto pen partons is to actually bring charges against somebody, have them claim they've got a pardon in court, and then let the process begin. So is that what needs to happen? Let's start with Doug in Maryland. Doug, thanks for calling in. Is it time to prosecute Anthony Fauci? Yes, it is. However, I don't think that DOJ can do anything, but I'm thinking that the presidential pardon, as invalid as it is, only covers federal crimes. If states were to prosecute under their statutes, and then have them run around the country from Montana down to Florida and everything else in 15 different states. prosecute them, then so be it. Yeah, you know, I'm hearing that a lot. And, Doug, thank you. I hear that a lot. A lot of people say, well, you know, listen, there's no part in there for state crimes. And is it good enough for an attorney general at the state level to bring those charges against him? And will he be able to face charges there? The question is, what are the charges? Because we know that it's a federal crime to lie under oath to Congress. That's a federal crime. That's something the Justice Department can bring forth. What would the state offense be? Mark in Arizona. Go ahead, Mark. You think Anthony Fauci should be prosecuted? I do. I believe he should be prosecuted. I'd think about Saddam Hussein, who they say gas people with this weapons of mass destruction, and yet he had none. And I believe those pictures they showed where he had gas people were back in the 60s and the 70s. But anyway, look what happened to him. What I don't understand is why we pay these people millions of dollars to create things to kill people. I think he should be held accountable and I think he should be executed. All right, Mark, thank you. Yeah, the comparison to Saddam's, I think the gassing is of the Iranian people. He gasped Persians during their war. But I believe that was in the 80s. But the problem is for you to make the comparison.

to, you know, sort of mass genocide via the COVID-19 virus. You have to connect a whole lot of dots there beyond just Anthony Fauci, paying for this for whatever strategic research purposes, and then deliberately allowing the virus to be released, and then, you know, on and on and on. There's a lot of dots to connect there. William in New Jersey also wants to raise the question of state charges against Anthony Fauci. Go ahead, William. What do you think? Morning, Larry, a whole bunch of things. So one, yes, following up with Doug, state charges. I'm sure during the COVID pandemic, he coordinated with lots of states and gave him bad information. Some of that, you know, we could have probably gone to a solution faster and saved more people through that process if he even transparent. Also, you know, I'm sure he got paid bonuses at his job. And I'm pretty sure they were hefty. And so while they're not protected by the Autopan, you know, maybe those we should be clawing back for fraud while he was there at NIH. Yeah. And I would even challenge the Autopan if Biden actually approve it or was it some staffer. Well, like I said, that's the crux of it. Because ultimately, I want Anthony Fauci to face justice. And I think the easiest crimes, when you talk about the bonus, again, that would be a federal charge. The state charges are going to be harder, I think, to levy because Anthony Fauci continues to distance himself. He's like, well, listen, your governor came up with those decisions. Your governor decided these things that inflicted pain and harm on you. All we did was give our advice. But we don't have any authority. We don't have any power. This is this game that he has played the whole time. He's got himself two or three times removed from what your governor in New Jersey or what my governor in Maryland, and even the governor in Virginia at the time Ralph Northam did. And Lord knows what the governor in California did. Anthony Fauci is like three or four steps removed from that. I think that that's why a lot of states have had trouble. Let me tell you something. If Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, thought that there were charges that he could bring against Anthony Fauci for state crime violations, I got a hunch that over the last four years he would have done it, right? Who are we kidding? He would have done it even before the pardon was in place by Joe Biden. He certainly would have done it with President Trump sitting in the White House, but he didn't. And I think that's because, well, here's the good thing. I've got a law expert coming up in our next segment. Every Monday we have our legal expert. Usually it's Joe DeGeneva, but he's on special assignment right now as an advisor to the acting attorney general over the investigation and the grand jury down in Florida for Russian collusion. We've got Hans von Spikovsky joining us as he does every Monday. And I'll ask him, this will be the first question out of my mouth. Now that we know this about Anthony Fauci, it sure looks like he's broken federal law. Can we press that pardon? Can we bring those charges? I'll ask cons. And I'll raise the question of these state charges as well. There's also another question. Even if he has a federal pardon, that doesn't mean he's free of any civil litigation. You think about the harm that families have endured? Why can't they just sue him?

I'll ask Hans von Spikoski, who joins us coming up in the next segment. I'll ask him all of those questions. Right now, though, I want to tell you about our founders because we're celebrating 250 years of freedom, and our founders believe that freedom wasn't just a word, it was a way of life. The freedom to move forward, the freedom to pursue what matters most, the freedom to live fully. But pain has a way to take on those freedoms away, and that's why relief factor exists. Relief factor is a 100% drug-free research-based supplement designed to help support a healthy inflammatory response, addressing pain at its source, not just covering it up. Over a million Americans have tried relief factor with about two-thirds going on to order more. That try is called the Quick Start. And right now, as we celebrate 250 years of freedom, we've got a special patriotic price for that Quick Start, $17. 76 cents. And over a million people have tried the quick start with two thirds of them continuing on with Relief Factor because, well, it brought them relief. So get that quick start now for only $17.76. Go to Relieffactor.com or give them a call 800, the number four, relief. Rolling into hour two here on O'Connor and Company from your nation's capital. We are on your flagship station, WMAL, the mighty voice of common sense and making sense of the news here in Washington. Lord knows we need that. Good morning. I'm Larry O'Connor in the Relief Factor Studios. We've got a lot ahead, including the New York Times, figuring out how to honor fathers yesterday on Father's Day. Their favorite dads are the dads who were born as women and take hormones to pretend their men. I wish I were making this up. The New York Times Beyond parody. Also coming up in our next hour, it's Dr. Robert Malone. He was the inventor of that technology used for the COVID shot. We're going to get his insights from a medical perspective and a public health perspective on the revelations now about Anthony Fauci, released by Tulsi Gabbard on her way out the door at the office of Director of National Intelligence. That's all coming up and looking ahead. But right now. We are pleased, proud, honored, dare I say, by having the one and only Hans von Spikoski. He's our legal analyst here on the program every Monday morning. And, of course, he's the Senior Legal Fellow at Advancing American Freedom. Good morning. Happy Father's Day, Hans. Well, thank you. And I actually, just like you, had a great time yesterday with my kids. Yes, it was a beautiful day here. I do want to kick things off, though, with this Anthony Fauci's story. A lot of people saw what Tulsi Gabbard revealed. And it's obvious now that there's enough evidence, I would think, in any other normal circumstances, to bring some federal charges against this man, at the very least, for perjuring himself. Because he denied everything that Ms. Tulsi Gabbard released on Friday. But there's that Thorny. issue of an auto pen pardon. Is there a way to challenge that pardon, Hans? Well, I think that that would be difficult. I mean, first of all, I don't think any president ever used an auto pen for pardons. Autopens had always just been used for, you know, routine correspondence, sending out invitations, responding to constituents. It had never been used for an auto pen.

If the Justice Department tried to criminally prosecute him, Fouchy would raise that as a defense. And I just don't think a judge would want to try to second guess whether or not the president had given authority or not, whether he consciously knew what he was doing, when he said, you can use the auto pen. to sign this pardon. Right. But there would need to be a paper trail for that sort of thing, wouldn't there? I mean, otherwise, anybody could access that auto pen and use it for nefarious purposes. No, I agree. I just don't think a federal judge would want to try to sit in judgment on the mental state of a former president and whether or not he had actually authorized the use of the pen for that pardon. That's the difficulty that Biden basically put in place by allowing the auto pen to be used. Hans, is there any benefit in just pressing the... You're probably right. Obviously, that's why you're here. You're our legal expert. You know about this stuff. So let's say the judge says, yeah, I'm not going to get involved in that. Is there some legal benefit or precedent benefit in at least bringing the charges so that we get a judge on record to say that? And by the way, also, it would force former members of the Biden administration to come and testify under oath in a court about the protocols and the use of that auto pen, something that they've done that for a congressional hearing, I believe, but not in a court of law. Oh, I think actually that would be a good idea, because then perhaps we would actually get some real information about what the state of mind of the president was when all these auto pens, when the auto pen was being used, were literally hundreds of pardons being issued. And it seems like without the actual approval or knowledge of the president, that's what it really would boil down to. Did the president approve each of these individual pardons, including that of Dr. Anthony Fauci? There was also a question raised about state crimes. I made the case that if Ken Paxton in Texas thought that there was any state crime, even the whisper of a state crime to bring charges against Anthony Fauci, he probably would have done it. But you tell me, is there enough?

removed there from Anthony Fauci just giving advice as a federal public health official versus governors actually implementing policies based on his advice, even if that advice was in some way deceitful or clouded by his own culpability. It is extremely difficult, Larry, to prosecute federal officials under state laws. It's just unprecedented for that to happen. As you know, here, it might be a good thing for that to happen. But keep in mind that right now, we have state officials in sanctuary states wanting to prosecute ICE agents for carrying out their duties. And that's the kind of bad precedent I don't think you would want to say. That doesn't excuse what Anthony Fauci did. But he was a federal official. It's up to the feds to punish him for wrongdoing. All right. Final question on this, Hans. And then I want to move on to the pending Supreme Court decisions that are still hanging out there. Right. What about civil litigation? What if there is a family who believes that they were harmed in some way because of the policies that were handed down? And they want to bring justice to the federal officials who recommended these policies, especially if they... had some sort of shady interest involved, for instance, the Wuhan lab development and all of the finances involved there. There's a law called the Federal Torts Act, and it gives individuals the ability to sue federal officials for that kind of wrongdoing. And I would hope, actually, that there are lawyers out there that are willing to represent the families to go after individuals who were involved in this. Hopefully they didn't. get a pardon also. But civil liability, yeah, that is a possibility under that federal tort statute. All right. Hans von Spikoski is our guest, Senior Legal Fellow at Advancing American Freedom. So this is the week, right, where these major, major Supreme Court decisions should be rolling out. Let's take a one-by-one, Trump v. Slaughter. This has to do with removing somebody in a federal agency, right? Why do you think they're holding this one up? How influential or what kind of relevance does this decision have with regard to going forward and other presidents approval? It seems like they're holding this one because it carries a lot of weight. They're holding a lot of decisions and you have to wonder whether the dissenters, which are probably the liberal justices, have been deliberately. withholding, circulating their dissents to delay the decisions coming out. This is a really important case. Why? Because of a hundred years, Congress has been setting up these federal agencies like the FTC, the SEC, the FEC, over which the president has basically no supervisory authority. He can't fire the heads of them unless he can find some kind of cause to do that.

they are carrying out executive branch functions. Yeah. And he constitutionally is the head of the executive branch. So if they come out and say Trump was able to fire Rebecca Slaughter... That is a way of the presidents being able to finally do something about the administrative state, these huge bureaucratic agencies that are unaccountable to voters. Well, what's confusing to a lot of people, including myself, Hans, is that why should this be even a question? If a president appoint somebody... By definition, that's a political appointment, which means they're aligned politically with that president. When there's a new administration, it's always been the right of a president to get rid of those political appointees. They serve at the pleasure of the president. Well, look, you're absolutely right. That's hopefully what the court will say. The problem is a bad Supreme Court decision issued in 1935 when the New Deal was being put in place in which the U.S. Supreme Court said it was okay for Congress to set up agencies like this and limit the president's authority over it. That's the problem. All right. Well, we'll look for that one. That's slaughter. And then, of course, there's the birthright citizenship decision. This is Trump v. Barbara. Boy, they're waiting to the last second for this one as well. What does that tell you? Well, again, it's clearly going to be a split decision. I'm hoping that they will rule in favor of the Trump administration constitutionally. That would be the correct thing to do. But of all the cases they have, this one is the one that probably will raise the biggest political fight in the Capitol. Yeah, it sure will. And you had said before, just to remind our listeners, you expect this to be, as you said, a split decision, but no real definitive – do you expect them to say absolutely birthright citizenship? That's what the Constitution says. Only way to change that 14th Amendment protocol is to amend the Constitution. Or do you think that there's going to be sort of a weasily sort of thread the needle sort of thing on this that doesn't definitively give an answer? I'm afraid it may be a weasily decision that only tries to thread the answer. I hope I'm proven wrong, Larry. I hope I'm proven wrong. And they come out and say, we do not recognize birthright citizenship of this country. All right. We'll have to watch that space, Hans. I know you're going to be busy this week and you'll be called upon to give your expert opinion. In fact, we may have you back depending on how one or two of these decisions come in. Thank you.

As always, great talking with you. Thanks for having me. All right. Coming up, the fathers, the New York Times decided to honor. You may find something interesting about these fathers. They're women. Coming up next, otoccur and company. You heard Hans von Swikoski's answer there with regard to potentially prosecuting. Anthony Fauci, but he did leave open. He seemed very warm to the idea of civil charges against the man who ruined our lives and, in my opinion, was the engineer of upending the 2020 presidential election. I could be wrong. Seems that way. Ron and Salem, Oregon is listening all the way around the West Coast right now. Good morning, Ron. I want to hear your story because you've got exactly the example of how people suffered because of what Anthony Fauci did. Go ahead, Ron. I was in the Navy 40 years ago, and the same time that that instructor got shot on TWA flight. He was thrown down. He was in my boot camp company. Oh, wow. On the gun range. But get to the main point. Lincoln's birthday, 2020, my foster mother was 9900 to 802 dose. Oh, we had to wait a month to get her buried. When you cannot be buried at Riverside National Cemetery without wearing a mask at 81 degrees weather at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and cannot have a grape size ceremony about my foster father who was a Raymond Lamar, who was a Tuskegee Airman. flew 124 missions and stayed in as a master sergeant. After he went back in 80 years ago and seen what Mingler did to those young kids from Eastern France all the way to Austria, which they adopted a daughter almost 73 years ago. This coming August 5th is appalling. And what Anthony Fauci's done... is dishonorable. He should, I would, if there's an attorney out there, I would love to hold him accountable, because he's making more than the president, counting his little subsidies. That's right. And I'm going to make the last point. The last point I'm going to make is this, is that did you know that the Gateway Pundit and Sky News will verify it in 2021? Did you know that the bird fruit possibly came from, in 2015, from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill? That was one as DNA Function Research left until Obama killed it before they went to Wuhan. But they don't want to talk about that anymore. And I've verified it over 30 different places. All right, Ron. Listen, thank you for your service. And it breaks my heart that you couldn't honor your fallen parent or your father that way. A Tuskegee Airman who couldn't have a graveside ceremony. It's outrageous. And that's the kind of harm we're talking about. By the way, my wife's family, exact same thing. Her grandfather, Korean War veteran. He passed away during the pandemic, and they could not honor him the way he deserved to be honor. Families were ripped apart because of these policies and these protocols. And if that's not the stuff of a civil lawsuit, I don't know what is. Thank you, Ron, for your service and for calling in. Kamala Harris, I still maintain, will run for president, and probably.

will be the odds on favorite to get that nomination for the Democrats. And every indication suggests that she's got the momentum right now, not only because her book actually did very well and on this book tour that she continues to stretch into, what, almost a year now, she continues to fill out auditoriums and theaters with people who want to hear and hang on every word. And who wouldn't, after all, she is in fighting form right now. Take a look at, listen to. This appearance on Don Lemon's podcast, the word salad master is back, my friends. She is, she's, it's like she's already in the middle of the campaign. She's got the word salad down. So, so perfectly. Listen. I really truly believe this. We, we each have light inside of us. And we need to know that that is what inspires our hope as much as anything external to ourselves. And when we feel that and not allow an election or an individual to dampen that light, and instead let that light kind of carry us in particular moments of darkness, that we not only act on that hope, but we inspire that hope in each other. And in particular at this moment, it is so important that we not only have hope, but that we understand that that should be a verb. It actually keeps going. It keeps going, whatever that is. And as her words spiral down the toilet pole, my favorite part of this, and y'all, if you're not watching on Salem News Channel, if you're listening on the radio, you've got to find this clip so you can see Don Lemon on the split screen, having to force himself to take her so seriously and feel like what she's saying is so profound. It's just incredible. And when we feel that and and and not allow an election or an individual to dampen that light and instead light, let that light kind of carry us in particular through moments of darkness, that we not only act on that hope, but we inspire that hope in each other, she continued. We have to be sure remind everyone that hope is a verb. Kamala Harris, ladies and gentlemen. She's running. I guarantee it. You know, there's a moment nobody talks about with weight loss. It's the moment it stops working. The diet that worked before it doesn't. The workouts don't hit the same. Even eating less stops moving the scale. And that's not random. That's your body protecting itself. Because when your body thinks it's under stress, like, you know, starving or intermittent fasting or whatever, it slows your metabolism. It holds on to fat and it fights you every step of the way. And that's why quick fixes eventually fail. Even that popular GLP one shot. They suppress appetite, but they don't fix what caused the problem. At Ph.D. weight loss, they focus on restoring your metabolism, so your body stops fighting you. That's when real change happens. And right now, when you call and mention Larry, you'll get two weeks for free and they'll pay for the cost of your food. That's a $1,500 value. You got a call. It's $864-644-1900. Use the code, Larry.

get that deal or just go to my PhD weight loss.com. 33 minutes after the hour, Larry O'Connor, starting out this Monday morning the right way on our flagship station, WMAL. Also, you can always watch the show, those of you. I always forget to remind people that we are now streaming the show live on the Salem News Channel every single morning from 6 to 9 Easterns. You can watch it there or pick up clips after the fact. If you want to see, you know, confirm the fact that I have a face for radio. You can check it out, Salem News Channel app. You can also get it through Roku, Amazon Prime, Samsung TV. But it's fun to be able to see our guests as well if you want to check out the video of it. Or if you just listen in the car, well, when you get home or get to the office, then you can pop on the visual version of the program as well. It's O'Connor and Company there at the Salem News Channel. Coming up, Robert Malone, the doctor who innovated and invented the technology used for the COVID shot. I want to get his opinion on what we've learned now about Anthony Fauci and, well, the degradation of public health policies in this country. The lack of trust many people have now in the so-called experts. We'll get to that in 30 minutes. How does the New York Times celebrate Father's Day? Well, here was the headline to my daughter. My gender was never complicated. And they have all these cartoons that go along with it, too. How long did you have breasts for, Dad? The little girl in the cartoon asks her dad. You see, because Dad used to be a woman. You can't grow a beard. You're a girl. says a girl on the monkey bars on the playground, and she responds, my dad did, and he was a girl. Although I think that's against the doctrine, the dogma of the transgender. No, no, no, no, he wasn't a girl. He was always a boy. He was just trapped in a girl's body because God made a mistake because people who invoke God and claim that God made a mistake to justify their own. neuroses at best. Always is who you want to listen to. New York Times father, this is how the Fox News wrote it up, by the way. It's fantastic. New York Times is facing backlash. You know, because conservatives are pouncing. Publishing a Father's Day guest essay about a transgender parent who described learning how to be a trans dad. The essay titled Two by Daughter, My Gender Was Never Complicated, was published Sunday morning and presented in comic strip form. It was written by Zach Ellums, a biological woman who identifies as a male and focuses on Ellum's experience raising a daughter while navigating questions about gender.

In another scene at a pool, the child asked, how did you grow a mustache if you were a lady? Good question. How did you grow that mustache if you were a lady? The essay suggests the child accepts Ellen's gender identity with ease, helping the author more fully embrace who they are. Critics, however, that would be us, you and I, normal people. you know, with truth on our side. Critics, however, blasted the ties for choosing to publish the piece on Father's Day. The Eric Times published cartoons about being a trans dad for Father's Day, Katie Miller, podcaster, and former Department of Government Efficiency Aid wrote on Act. She's also the wife of the Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. This is how they envision corrupting our children. Sean Davis, our pal over at the Federalist. said that the paper was using Father's Day to celebrate playing Daddy dress up as the true embodiment of fatherhood. The New York Times celebrated Father's Day by saluting the real heroes, left-wing gender goblins who think mentally ill women, mutilating themselves, mainlining hormone injections, and playing Daddy Dress Up are the true embodiment of fatherhood, Davis wrote. He's not wrong. My biggest argument, my biggest complaint about things like this happen in the New York Times or when you're watching, you know, late night comedy show like the Tonight Show or Saturday Night Live or things that happen over at MS. Now, my biggest complaint is why don't they have one person in the room? One person in the writer's room at Saturday Night Live who can just chime in, raise their hand and say, hey, guys, just so you know. Just so you know, there's another perspective out there and you're going to get ridiculed. Or they're going to hate you for this. There's not one person on the editorial board at the New York Times who was able to step forward awkwardly clear their throat and say, you know, this might rub people the wrong way on Father's Day. Maybe we should, you know, sort of normalize things a little bit just for one day. Nothing wrong with running this article, I guess, if you really feel compelled to do so. But why pick Father's Day to do it? It's like picking Easter Sunday to run an article in the New York Times, you know, purporting to debunk the resurrection story. Although that's probably something the New York Times would do. So I shouldn't give them any ideas. If they haven't done it already. A lot of people will look at this and say, oh, you don't hate the media enough. The media hates you. Look at how much they hate you. No, I think they're just oblivious to you. They truly don't understand you because they've never met anyone like you. Everyone that the New York Times editorial board interacts with in Manhattan think that this is completely normal and praiseworthy, actually. And that is the actual problem. Please stop calling the New York Times the paper of record when they behave this way.

That said, they will, I'm sure, get much joy out of the big DC superhero blockbuster movie Supergirl. We talked about this with Christian Toto from Hollywood and Toto and Hot Air over in the town hall media family of websites. We talked about this on Friday when I said, hey, Supergirl, that on paper. That sounds like a great idea. He said, yeah, well, on paper. Supergirl apparently is very trans-friendly and pretty much hates men. That seems to be the takeaway. By the way, the movie comes out this Friday. Is it Friday or Thursday, June 26th? Let's see. Tomorrow's the 23rd. Friday. It comes out this Friday. Here's one of the tweets associated with this. Is this an audio clip or just a visual? Yeah, here, take a listen. It wasn't, but in honor of Pride Month, as I'm getting all these questions, I don't know. I think that what makes this film so beautiful is that it's not centered around a man, it's not centered around love at all, if anything. But we'll see. I don't know. She'll probably go both ways. That's the actress playing Supergirl, speculating about the sexuality of her character, which, by the way, I mean... I have enacted since my high school musical. I was a brilliant Tevia in Fiddler on the Roof, by the way, my senior year at Coroner-Dalmar High School in Newport Beach, California won many awards, but it's been all downhill for me since then. Not really an actor, but I've known a lot of actors in my whole life. And generally speaking... When you play a character, you try to like delve into what their background was. I mean, sure, if you're like the third spear carrier from the left in the background in a scene, you might not put a whole lot of thought into the backstory of what brought that spear carrier to that moment in the background of that scene. But when you're actually playing Supergirl, which by the way comes with its own canon of information and biography and sort of. You know, there's decades and decades of comic books and fan fiction and, you know, graphic novels about Supergirl. And here she is pandering to a, what was the website there, the queerly? It's called Queerly. I'm old enough to remember when you're not supposed to call people with same-sex attraction queer, but that's fine. They love it. Asked about the sexuality of the character that she just played in this major movie, this multi-multy, what, $150 million movie. She wasn't sure. She said probably goes both ways. So Supergirl is by now, according to the actress, but she's not so sure about that. Well, I'm sure about it.

Because Supergirl's been around for decades. And Supergirl isn't by. But Millie Alcock, seriously, that's her name? Why does my producer, Heather Hunter, tempt me like this? I'm not going to get into trouble. I'm just going to move on. Supergirl star, Millie Alcock. divides fans after saying superhero goes both ways when asked if the character is queer. Well, there's another superhero franchise I don't have to participate in. Supergirl. She even wears a skirt for crap. Does the Supergirl wear a skirt at least? I remember that was the big objection of Supergirl. It's like, how come Supergirl has to wear a skirt? She's a girl. The question answers itself. It's fine. If that's not enough for your LGBTQI++ news of the day, we've got this. Abigail Spanberger, she's the governor of Virginia. She's moderate, you know. Just asked the New York Times on the Washington Post. She posted a picture of a rainbow flag multi-layer cake. Although, last I checked, the rainbow is Roy G. Biv, right? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Tell me you're a homeschool parent without telling me you're a homeschool parent. You've got to teach your kids the colors of the spectrum. That's how you do it. Roy G. Biv. Red, orange, yellow, green, it's blue. And it's, well, it's a mess, actually. It's a horrible looking cake. This looks like, what's that... There used to be an Instagram account, and then they turned it into a Netflix thing called Nailed It, where home chefs try to do things, and it just becomes a mess. Well, Abigail Spanberger, you nailed it with your rainbow pride cake. She posted it on X. It says, the girls and their friends had a bake-off. Happy Pride would be Abigail Spanberger. Actually, not the cringiest thing Abigail Spanberger did this weekend. But see, we'll show you the cringiest thing. But the lesson here is even when you're the mainstream moderate, I'm not crazy like those other Democrats. I'm Abigail Spanberger. Put me on the ticket, Josh Shapiro. That's what they're aiming for, by the way. Josh Shapiro Abigail Spanberger. I'm calling the shot now. I don't think they're going to win. I think the Bernie Sanders wing of the party has way too much power and way too much influence, and they're never going to put Josh Shapiro at the top of the digger. But if you ask the conventional wisdom in Washington, D.C., who always every four years try to convince the American people that they're not insane, that their party is not crazy. that would be the ticket. Josh Shapiro, Abigail Spanberger. It won't happen. The primary voters will never allow it to happen. But when you're Abigail Spanberger and you need to appeal to the party and even when you're trying to be the moderate, normal, sane person in the room, you've got to do stuff like that. You've got to put out the rainbow cake.

But now here's Abigail Spanberger dancing, boogeying at the Enrico Juneteenth celebration. It's a visual, but I can just tell you, let's go ahead and run it. Abigail Spanberger, jam it. That would be, in fact, the cringiest thing. Abby Elspanberger ever does. Go find the video. She is like every white mom. I'm told that calling her a Karen is not fair and actually unfair to women who are named Karen, but... That's the Wikipedia page for Karen. Life, Liberty of the Pursuit of Happiness. Those words weren't written for history books. They were written for you. But it's hard to pursue happiness when pain is part of everyday life.

If you give somebody a gift of breathmints, and not just breathmints, but the most powerful breathmints you can get, altoids. They're great, by the way, but they pack a wallop, and you take altoids to make sure that you've got nice, clean breath. If you give that gift to someone, especially a woman, is it kind of an insult? Is a bit of a subterfuge insult? We're going to answer that burning questions coming up in just a moment because it is in the news. A very high profile individual received altoids as a gift from another very high profile individual. And many people have opinions. We'll talk about it in a sec. First, though, after sharing with you for weeks about my campaign to send deserving kids to Angel Tree Camp through our friends at Prison Fellowship, we are now down to only five more days for you to join us. I am so proud. proud. The dozens of you have stepped up to help provide scholarships for over 280 kids with a mom or dad in prison to attend Angel Tree Camp this summer. And as Jamie from Angel Tree Camp reminds you, your donation over at Larry O'show.com can have a profound impact by blessing kids all over America. I believe God has an amazing cart for young ones, and we all have to come to God. with childlike faith. And so if we can get these campers to camp when they're young and when they're open, and especially these campers who may be coming from hard places with special wounds and special challenges, it can put them on a life-altering path. You could be breaking generational incarceration and helping set their entire family on a different trajectory by reaching the child.

See, that's what I mean when I tell you that our gifts to Angel Tree Camp are transforming lives. These children hear about the gospel while they're there at this beautiful camp. And, well, that definitely changes life. You remember the first time you heard the gospel. You remember how you were saved. Let's save these children, shall we? And when they leave Angel Tree Camp, they go home with their own copy of the Holy Scriptures. Go to Larry O'show.com. Click on the Angel Tree banner at the top of the page to donate. But please, hurry, these were our final five days this week. God bless you. All right. So there's a moment there at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, which, by the way, is a monument to failure and divisiveness. And it looks like a Borg ship landed in... the south side of Chicago in this, what wasn't lovely park, but now it's been taken over by an alien prison camp or something. It's just, I don't, if anyone tells you that that's a beautiful looking building, just walk away. Go in the other direction. They have no taste at all. In no way is this thing a beautiful edifice or in some way an inspiring building. But at the ceremony on Thursday, All the presidents were their past presidents, right? Oh, they were all talking about, oh, it's such an exclusive club, the past president's club, and it drives people nuts that these guys are all so chummy, right? It drives people nuts that George W. Bush has decided to be friends with the two people who lied about him and his presidency trashed him and his presidency. She trashed him at her speech, Michelle Obama. said, you know, we came in and we fixed a disastrous broken economy and pulled out of a horrible war. And George W. Bush is like, that's my presidency you're talking about. Why? Talk about yourself in a good way without trashing me, but they can't do it. See, they can't do it. Well, it annoys people that President Bush has decided to be friends with him. And everybody talks about, oh, it's a wonderful relationship that George W. Bush has with Michelle in particular. Well, there's this picture going around. of George W. Bush giving Michelle Obama a gift at the opening. It's a box, a little tin of altoids. CBS News publishes the picture. George W. Bush gifts Michelle Obama a tin of altoids at Obama Center opening in an ode to their friendship. And people are outraged by that in screaming. And I get it. And they just say, well, we don't want you to be friends. First of all, I reject the premise. I think Democrats and Republicans can be friends. And I get it that there's sort of this exclusivity about this club. That said, it always does seem to go in one direction. I don't remember Bill Clinton being really deferential and kind to George W. Bush after he became president. I don't remember Jimmy Carter.

being super deferring. He was still constantly badmouthing Ronald Reagan and badmouting Ronald Reagan's policies, even after his death. It always seems to go in one direction that the Republican president, after his presidency, grovels for some sort of approval from the Democrat who succeeded him. That said, let's really... drill down on this altoids present, shall we? I'm told that this all goes back to a moment at John McCain's funeral, Senator McCain at the funeral, and Michelle Obama has a coughing fit and a coughing attack, and George W. Bush reaches over, gives her a cough drop. And I remember that moment getting caught on film, and it was like this big... moment apparently that started their friendship. All of this is weird. But I guess as an homage to that moment, George W. Bush decided to give her altoids at the opening ceremonies of the Obama Presidential Center. But altides... are not lozenges. It's not like a lifesaver. It's not like a hauls. If you were trying to do this, like, hey, just in case, I remember that moment. Remember, oh, let's bond over it here. I got you some halls. That's not what it is. Altoids have one purpose and one purpose only to clean up your lousy, disgusting, horrific, nauseating breath. Now, generally speaking, I think if a man, I would be... If I gave my wife Meredith an altoid, if we were going to church or some event, she would be great. Oh, I need one. Thank you, honey. I appreciate you telling me that. Only husbands can tell their wives that. When a man gives a woman altoids as a gift, this is not a message of bonding and friendship. It says one thing and one thing only. Your mouth smells like a can of tuna. That's it. That's where we are now. That's where they are now. And we'll get into the latest over the algae gate. You're finally going to get him, guys. This is it. Impeachment is going to happen over the algae. That's coming up a little later in the program. Also, Nikki Neely is going to join us, parents defending education. The UC college system, I'm told, is the greatest system. Actually, two of my kids. Well, one of my kids graduated from one UC school. I got one kid in a UC school right now. And apparently their sexual violence and sexual harassment policy says that you can be disciplined, if not outright expelled from a UC University of college, if you misgender someone. If a dude with a beard and in 5 o'clock shadow or whatever, and, you know, obviously a man says, call me Loretta.

And you say, well, no, I'm not because you're a dude. There you go. You're out of the university because the universities are bastions for free thought and exploration of ideas and intelligence. That's coming up with Nikki Neely in 30 minutes. Right now we're joined by Robert W. Malone. Robert Malone is the original inventor of that MRNA technology for vaccines. He's a physician. He's a scientist. He's a bioethicist. And his book, Lies, My Government Told Me, and the Better Future Coming. is an important one, especially in light of everything we're learning now about Anthony Fauci's participation in the COVID-19 virus. Dr. Malone, I saw this story with Tulsi Gabbard, and you were the first person I thought of. Thanks for being a part of the show this morning. Thanks for having me on, Larry. It's interesting times, isn't it? It is. And you shared your thoughts there on the X platform. And also, I want to commend everybody to be a part of your substack. It's very informative. I'm a member of your substack. Best place to get that is malone. News, right? Malone. Correct. Thank you very much. You can subscribe for free. You begin your analysis of the revelations about Anthony Fauci and the gain of function research. You begin it with the conflict of interest. I think it's you're right. It's sort of the original sin in all of this. Flesh it out for us and explain that to us. So essentially what Tulsi Gabbard is documented, and that's the important point here, is that this is not a second-tanned analysis. This is the primary documents that have been dropped by Ms. Tulsi Gabbard on her way out the door. What she's documented is... strategy that Dr. Anthony Fauci used in which he selected the people to sit on the various committees, including the CIA Analysis Committee. to participate in the determination about the, let's use the title from the famous manuscript, the proximal origins of SARS-CoV-2. He selected people that would assess that, and then, no surprise, they came up with the answer that exculpated him essentially in concluding that this was of natural origin. Well, and Dr. Melan is so funny because even John Stewart, you know, a comedian.

saw on the face of it how stupid it was to suggest that the first place you go to investigate where this virus came from is the Wuhan viral lab where they actually work on these things. But you're right. The members of the Intelligence Committee that were charged with getting to the bottom of it, they were handpicked by Anthony Fauci. One thing I found remarkable was that how did he even have that kind of knowledge and interaction with the CIA? to be able to exercise that kind of power and influence to know who to pick and who not to pick. Is it normal for a person in Anthony Fauci's position to have such a good working relationship with spies? Well, the truth is that the entire biodefence community is, I guess we could call it infiltrated, certainly closely associated with the intelligence community, and in particular the CIA. And I've run into that throughout my career. I've been accused of being a CIA officer because I've reported and frankly outed various agents over time because of misdeeds. But... This integration goes back a long ways. And remember that Dr. Anthony Fauci's role in responsibility was not just as director of the National Institute of Allergy and infectious disease, but he was placed in charge of the entire biodefense enterprise. You could say military industrial complex. after the anthrax attacks. So he basically took command of the DOD side as well as the civilian side after the legislature determined that the DOD had... been incapable of advancing the biodefense mission and was culpable in the anthrax spores attack. So what happened after 9-11 when we had the anthrax thing, people in the administration at the time and in the Pentagon said, and in Congress said, oh my gosh, they could destroy our civilization here in America with a bioweapon. We need experts to be able to advise. on how to protect from this, what we're looking for, what to do if we get hit with a bioweapon. But then it appears something changed there. It almost appears as though Anthony Fauci oversaw, and again, please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't want to get this wrong. Well, it was, Larry, it was beyond advice. Tony was placed in charge of the entire enterprise. But was that enterprise of a defensive nature, or was that enterprise then converted to or was it always expected to be of an offensive nature that, oh, we better have our own bio weapons?

This is a sensitive area going back to the bio-warfare convention. But historically, the American investment in bio-warfare exceeded the American investment in thermonuclear warfare. the heads of the various communities like the American Association of Infectious Disease throughout the 60s and 70s were usually key governmental How do I call it? Stakeholders, influencers in building the bio-warfare infrastructure. So these have been integrated for decades now, really back to mid-century. And that is covered pretty well in Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s book about the Wuhan Lab League. It's really quite a... sorted story. And it was very bold of Tulsi Gabbard to disclose these documents at this time because there is such a close association between the intelligence community and biomedical research and the biodefense complex. The approved language for this is dual function research. So when the news, I remember that coming up in the hearing with Rand Paul, that's certainly in question here because it suggests based on these documents being revealed that Anthony Fauci outright lied and purged himself. Is that your assessment here that he absolutely lied under oath when asked about dual purpose and gain? Now it is one of the points that Tulsi Gabbard made in her press release relating to this drop. And the important nuance there is that Rand Paul has been focused on the misrepresentation made by Dr. Anthony Fauci, in my opinion, about gain of function research, that in fact he did not fund gain of function research in order to deny it. So that's one point of contention that Rand has focused on because Anthony Fauci basically called Paul a liar in sworn testimony. But this is a different – what Tulsi Gabbard has pointed out is that in separate testimony, Anthony Fauci said to – the investigating committee that he had not been involved or influenced or communicated with these committees that had done this assessment. He said that straight out, and that was clearly a lie. Okay, so now we have two lies in congressional testimony from Dr. Anthony Fauci.

It seems like Dr. Anthony Fauci, when challenged on various things like this, in particular the determination, whether it was a lab link or it happened, lab leak or it happened naturally at a wet market, or even when he's challenged on some of the policies that were handed down from the federal government level, our public health professionals, he always sort of has these. four spaces removed from anything. I wasn't even in the room. I didn't have a participation of that. We just gave advice. We didn't actually dictate policy. Seems to be a pattern of behavior from him. So he's a master of bureaucratic manipulation within the government, 40 plus years experience. He's become very, very skilled at this. And the rules don't apply to Dr. Anthony Fauci. They never have. So what you're observing is consistent with a longstanding pattern of behavior from Dr. Anthony Fauci. building plausible deniability. And he has had a very large press office. I don't know if you're aware of that. I documented this early on. His press office was 30 plus full-time employees. Just focused on managing the likes of you, not that his group for the Hill was much smaller. Well, he got very good press. He got a great press, in fact. They were creating votive candles to him and praying to St. Anthony Fauci. Stay with us, Dr. Malone. There's more on this story. I really need your expertise on it to sort it out. And so we've got more with Dr. Robert Malone coming up on O'Connor & Company. Our interview last week on this program with Senator Ron Johnson having to do with revelations about the effects and the negative reaction to the COVID shot that got a lot of traction. A lot of people were talking about that. Now we're talking about the Anthony Fauci revelation. Although since we have Dr. Malone, I meant to ask you about this in our first segment, I'm sure you saw the testimony and the work that Senator Johnson is doing there about. Again, this is the same team of people. They neglected to follow up on any of the reports of injuries due to the COVID shot. As the person who sort of introduced the technology that was employed there, that must drive you insane, knowing that the COVID vaccination policy was implemented in this country, knowing that they were injuring people. Yes, so I've been in close contact with Senator Johnson, provided him email documentation, and in particular underscore that the senator has finally obtained the documents concerning the Tracy Beth Hogue analysis of the pediatric deaths. And those are now out in the open. The FDA has said that no, no, no, no.

These did not happen, but we now have the internal documentation about that. And Tracy Beth Hogue, who was terminated abruptly from the FDA, has now started her own substack where she's adding further details to her, the narrative and documentation about what happened. with documenting those pediatric deaths. Well, and again, pattern of behavior. She was a whistleblower about something as important as pediatric deaths as a result of the COVID-19 shot that was, you know, forced on people in many cases. And we had a whistleblower with regard to the origins of the virus too and the gain of function research, didn't we? So that's another thing that is in the drop from Tulsi Gabbard is that a new revelation that a federal contractor had acted as a whistleblower concerning the misrepresentations of Dr. Anthony Fauci and the compromise of the review committee. And that person apparently was terminated about two weeks after they initiated their whistleblower actions. So this is, you know, just brick after brick after brick documenting what happened during the Biden administration to suppress inconvenient narratives. So here's what's remarkable about this, Dr. Malone. This came out on Thursday. We had a long segment on it on this program Friday morning. I devoted a 20-minute segment on my town hall podcast that I do every day at noon, got huge reaction on social media about it. I checked the cable news stations, and all of them, the ones who are politically on my side, the ones who are politically hostile to me. Nobody talked about this story. This is a huge story. We were consumed by Anthony Fauci and the CDC and all of these protocols and the virus and where it came from. What's with the news blackout? This is news. Whether you agree with it or not, it is news, Dr. Malone. So I call this the Great Forgetting. Corporate media today is not the corporate media that we have told ourselves or they have constructed a narrative around. And there's absolutely no upside for subscriptions, clicks, likes, follows, et cetera, monetization for mea copas, for presenting that we got the story wrong, we're so sorry. There's no world in which that can happen. It can only come from folks like yourself that are at the periphery of corporate media. And that is part of what's driving the... the whole revolution in reporting and news right now and the interest of many to follow alternative sources because clearly it's become...

pretty obvious. Well, you're right. I mean, nobody, they're not going to win, you know, an Emmy by having a segment about how wrong they were for years. Not only were they wrong, but those of us who were over on this side of the equation saying, hey, there's more to the story here, it seems. You know, at town hall, we kept referring to this as the Chinese virus that came from Wuhan and everything, and we got censored, we got demonetized and all of that. So not only were they wrong about the story, but they were dealing. You were racist. You were right. You were racist for doing that. And they were demonizing us over here. But also, and I've only got 30 seconds, but it's impossible to not note that most of the ads I see on those cable stations are all pharmaceutical companies. There's got to be pressure there. I heard of figure that something like 70 to 80% of the revenue from CNBC now is coming from pharmaceuticals. 70%. So. Yeah, so the whole business model that used to be decentralized subscribers has been transformed to dependency on small numbers of donors and large advertisers. They're not incentivized to tell the truth. In fact, quite the opposite. Dr. Robert Malone. Malone. News is the substack. Always an honor to talk to you, sir. Thanks for joining us. How woke are college campuses in California? UC system, which by the way, state run. That's government money, right? If you misgender somebody and use the wrong pronoun, you will be disciplined. I thought we were past all of that. In a moment, we're going to speak with Nikki Neely, parents defending education. We'll get to that in a moment. First, though, after sharing with you for weeks now about my campaign to send deserving kids to Angel Tree Camp through our friends at Prison Fellowship, we're now down to only five more days for you to join us. I'm so proud and grateful that dozens of my listeners have stepped up to help provide scholarships for over 280 kids with a mom or a dad in prison. Those kids now can attend Angel Tree Camp this summer. Listen to Jamie from Angel Tree Camp. She's going to remind you that your donation over at Larry O's Show.com has a profound impact by blessing kids all over this country. I believe God has an amazing heart for young ones, and we all have to come to God. with childlike faith. And so if we can get these campers to camp when they're young and when they're open and especially these campers who may be coming from hard places with special wounds and special challenges, it can put them on a life-altering path. You could be breaking generational incarceration and helping set their entire family on a different trajectory by reaching the child. Yeah. These kids are going to be surrounded by bad influences also. summer long, from drugs to gangs to crime to despair. For this one week, they will hear the gospel and learn about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. And they will leave camp armed with a copy of the Holy Scriptures. That transforms lives. And you're doing that. Go to Larry O'Sho.com. Larry O'Sho.com. Click on that angel tree banner at the top of the page. And God bless you. Thank you. These are our five final days here. So make that difference.

Joining us right now, friend of the program, Nikki Neely, defending education. And Nikki, we're used to you pointing out and showing us horrific things happening in our public schools, K-12 situation. But college campuses are insane, and we're paying for those educations too. So thank you for this UC study that you've done. I appreciate you joining us. Yes. Yeah, last week we sued the University of California system, which I'm very proud of, because they have speech silencing policies that have both been designed to and have the effect of chilling student speech, which is just a straight first amount violation. And so we sue them in federal court and we look forward to vindicating our student members' rights. Yeah, but I'm told that the UC system is just flooded with free speech. They can't get enough free speech. They let the pro-Hamas protesters with all of their very expensive. tents that were paid, I still don't know who paid for all those tents, set up camp there in the whole quad of UCLA. They couldn't get rid of them and they were keeping Jewish students from crossing the campus and everything. So how come that free speech was okay, but this gender stuff is prohibited? Isn't it? so funny in some of these progressive areas where it's free speech for me, but not for thee. In this case, what we're challenging is this is the school's sexual violence and sexual harassment policy. And so humor, satire, parody, completely off limits. Actually, the rules specifically state that jokes are not okay. So you are not allowed to joke about things like that. And this is all backed up by a system where students can anonymously report each other. So straight out of East Germany, nothing creepy about that at all. And to really Really drive that lesson home, students have to go through an anti-harassment training. And as part of that, they have to give answers. And if you fail that, if you give the wrong answers, you don't pass. And you have a hold then. You're not able to register for classes or use facilities on campus. Some of those things that you are not allowed to say are things like, hey, I don't think you're in the right bathroom. The FAQ actually specifically says misgendering or mispronounning someone is harassment. That constitutes a hostile environment. And so those are things you're not allowed to say. Clearly, these are First Amendment protected things because that's a really hot issue where people have very strong feelings. You know what? Not on my watch. Wait, so seriously, somebody using the wrong pronoun can be disciplined on a UC campus? Oh, by the way, hold on. Hold on. You could be reported. I just fell into the trap using the right pronoun, not the wrong. That's the insidious nature of this nonsense. If you actually refer to a male as he, even though he demands that you acknowledge that he's pretending to be a she, you can get disciplined for that. Correct. And discipline, I mean, that's like putting it lightly. So discipline can include, but is not limited to suspension, expulsion.

removal from your housing, revocation of your degree, which honestly may my jaw drop, as well as being sent to re-education camp, just for you to learn the right way to act going forward. So, you know, none of this is problematic whatsoever. Nikki Neely, yeah, exactly. So you're filing a lawsuit against the UC system defending education is. And I mean, to file a lawsuit, you have to obviously have some law that you can cite. So what is the federal statute that you're pointing to? to say, look, you're violating the law here. First Amendment, the best amendment. So this is just straight freedom of speech. There is no religious carbats. I don't care if somebody worships the spaghetti monster. If they don't want to use somebody's pronouns, they may not be forced to use a pronoun by a state taxpayer-funded entity like University of California system. We also have the 14th Amendment in there. This is vague. They're discriminating on the basis of viewpoints. Obviously, some viewpoints are allowed and some are not. So just things like that that we find intolerable. Obviously, First Amendment transcends presidential administrations. But if I remember, right, didn't the Trump administration come in and execute quite a few executive orders with regard to things like this through the Department of Justice as well as the Department of Education about what these publicly funded schools can do? You see it's still getting plenty of federal tax dollars, aren't they? They absolutely did. Yeah, so the Trump administration has been absolutely clear, absolutely unequivocal about that you may not, you know, talking about gender full stop is just an issue that is back on the table. As opposed to during the Biden administration, we all had to worship at the altar of all the gender ideology stuff when they tried to rewrite Title IX in violation of the law, et cetera, et cetera. So. The fact that they are trying to do this in 2026 under a Trump administration, which has made clear its fidelity to law and biology, it's something that is, you know, not a path I would have chosen. But that's why we have people like, aside from the UC Board of Regents and administrators there, we have Gavin Newsom cited. We have Tony Thurman, a state superintendent cited because this happened on all of those people's watches and we want people to be remnant from my remember that. I keep using the word insidious on this, but it really is insidious because when you look at the, you know, the Orwellian use of language by the proponents of these policies, it's under the, ironically, the UC's sexual violence and sexual harassment policy. So in the sexual harassment policy, you are a victim if a person refuses to adhere to the pronouns that you demand that they use. However. If my daughter, let's say I'm paying for my daughter's college tuition at UC Davis, and my daughter's on the swim team, she's a freshman, she's in the locker room. And my daughter was raised with very traditional, conservative, religious principles. She...

is very modest. She is now forced to disrobe in front of a biological male, and she is forced to be confronted with a naked biological male against her consent. She doesn't want to see this naked man, but she is forced to, and that's just fine in their sexual harassment policy. That's the definition of sexual harassment, Nikki Haley. Yes. And this comes up in locker rooms. It comes up in dorms. We have heard stories of girls being put in situations where they have been dissuaded from filing complaints about who they have been housed with and told that, you know, are you sure you want to do this? This might lead to problem. Wait, wait. That's frightening. I'm also the mother of a daughter. I got to jump in. You mean they're forced to be roommates with a biological male? Yes. Yes. Yeah. Absolute insanity. But again, this is sexual harassment. By the way, full disclosure, my daughter did go to UCLA. I've been in her dorms and they have shared showers. They have shared shower facilities and shared bathroom facilities in those dorms. Right. And so to put girls in a place where they have to, I mean, you know, growing up a girl is the mother of her girl. You always tell them. you know, pay attention to your gut. If you feel unsafe, you remove yourself from that situation, we are telling these girls now, shut up, you bigot, keep your mouth shut, deal with it. Which is something that is so astonishing and so, I mean, this is why the Trump administration has, you know, come to crossheads with the California multiple times because they have chosen to sacrifice our daughters on the altar of gender ideology. People are going to hear this, Nikki, and they're going to be outraged and they're going to want to be a part of this. How can people support what you're doing at Defendant? education? And are there other organizations who have already jumped on this as well because this needs to be a big thing? Yeah, our website is defending ed.org. People can report incidents to us. They can learn about this issue and many others. We have lots of other lawsuits going on gender issues, race issues, DEI, etc. But yeah, but we work closely with friends at the Independent Women's Forum, America First Legal. There are lots of great groups in this space that are trying to just hold these entities accountable. It's really astonishing how deeply the education industrial complex believes that they own this space. And so we are trying to claw it back. They are not entitled to our schools. Can I ask you just sort of a strategic? or tactical question, because it seems like organizations on the left, like defending education, but they take obviously a different approach and they try to push a more liberal, radical agenda. They've been instituting lawsuits for decades. They get a ton of their policies done, not through legislation, but through consent decrees and various other settlements with friendly governments that say, you know, don't want to fight things in court. Is this a new strategy for conservative groups, or I wouldn't even call this conservative. This is just common sense, which oftentimes is a synonym for conservative ideas. But are we late to the game? Are we just now starting to figure out, oh, yeah, you know what? We have rights in these courts, too, and we're going to start these lawsuits.

Yeah, you know, I think this has been going on for about a decade. My friend and board member Ed Bloom from Students for Fair Admissions clearly has led the charge in this, right, with redistricting, voting rights, et cetera. And so it's been really fun to actually, yes, let's use the courts to actually enforce the rights as the Constitution lays them out. And, you know, it's funny because we are not doing sue and settle. These schools will fight tooth and nail to maintain their unconstitutional policies. I have sued my alma mater, my ex-husband's alma mater. And then they call you for money afterwards and I say, you know, I know. how much money you spent trying to keep that policy in the books. How dare you? That's right. So it's really astonishing that, you know, they're caught with their hand to the cookie jar and then they'll tell us, oh, you know, we can assure you students A, B, and C, can say whatever they want. No, that's not it. The principle is that you have these policies in the books full stop and you thought it was okay. Defending education, president is Nikki Neely. It's defending ed.org or com? Correct. Yeah. Dot.org. Defendinged.org. Jump on there. Join the mailing list and join the movement. Thank you, Nikki. Always great to talk with you. I appreciate you fighting this fight. Thank you. You know, for 250 years, Americans have believed in a powerful idea that we were meant to live free, free to work hard, free to move, free to enjoy life without being held back. But if everyday aches and pains are slowing you down, it might be time to declare your independence from pain. And I just want to take a moment to tell you my own personal story because about four weeks ago, it was right before Memorial Day, I got laid out. with sciatica. I was able to bring myself to the chair I'm sitting on to be able to do this show, and that was about it. Horrible pain, shooting all the way down my right leg into my foot, debilitating, absolutely debilitating. So I started diving face first into my supply of relief factor. Yes, I was taking relief factor on a regular basis, mornings and I started. doubling the doses. I don't even know if that's okay. But I did not miss a beat with the relief factor. Within a week, the relief was there. I'm still taking three doses a day instead of two, just to be short. And yesterday, I did a four-mile run. The pain is gone. It's relief factor. Relief factor is a 100% drug-free research-based formula designed to help your body fight inflammation. That's one of the root causes of pain. It's not a quick fix. It's not a temporary mask. It doesn't trick your brain into thinking that you're not really in pain when you are. No, no, no. It works from the inside out at the source. And, oh, by the way, you're not going to get addicted to it. You're just going to get relief. They have a special price right now commemorating our 250 years of freedom, $17.76. Get your quick start for 1776. Go to Relieffactor.com, 804 Relief. I would love nothing more than to move on from our ongoing updates about the reflecting pool at the National Mall. But apparently this is the scandal to end all scandals in Washington, D.C. This is how they're finally going to get Trump, guys.

algae or or the shoddy installation of the sealant on the bottom of the of the reflecting pool after all look at these giant pieces of the blue laminate whatever it is that sealed the bottom they're just floating around i saw a report on c and about it i saw a report about algae on it i'm seeing protesters at the National Ball with signs cheering on the algae. By the way, they've done a deep dive into who these protesters are. They were also the Black Lives Matters protesters. They're all the same people, these people. The president was posting about it on true social over the weekend. When he wasn't posting about the Iran War, he was posting about the reflecting people. saying the United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our nation's magnificent reflecting pool. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail work will begin immediately on its repair. The suggestion is that, no, it wasn't a shoddy installation and no, the sealant didn't just, you know, come off involuntarily because they did such a poor job in installing it. The vandals actually went in and started ripping the stuff up from the bottom. of the reflecting pool. They're investigating all of that. But here's a summation from Fox News. They sort of put together a quick package on what's going on with the reflecting pool here. Take a listen. This is a sad story because all Americans, I don't care about your political stripes, enjoy the reflecting pool. But as Charlie points out, we're talking about someone who's gone from competing in Olympic-sized swimming pools to being accused of vandalizing the reflecting pool along the mall. And, of course, he ends up in cuffs. And apparently he's not the only one. We're speaking of a former Olympian canoeist, 67-year-old David Hearn. Three-time Olympian, by the way, said he was cycling by the monument. on Friday, he noticed a piece of the pool's underliner floating in the water, but authorities, they didn't buy his story at all, and now they're accusing him of being one of several individuals of trying to sabotage the project with a pair of arrests being made so far. In fact, the president said as much in a post on true social, announcing, quote, many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful vandalism of our beautiful reflecting pool. What these terrible vandals have done is a true affront. to both presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and should be dealt with accordingly. They also poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the pool. Finally, he adds this. We are very proud of what we have done with this magnificent structure, and we'll get it repaired quickly. to an equal level of beauty. Now, the pool, which had been restored to a beautiful cerulean as part of the American 250 celebration, spent years mired in an algae-covered state until the big cleanup. But suddenly we started reading reports of a new algae bloom forming, and the peeling lower coating critics said it was a shoddy job done by the contractors. Turns out that's not true at all, and now we know why. Now, the cleanup of this 14 million

dollar project is ongoing even at this very hour but given the fact that the 4th of july is right around the corner to get it ready they're going to have to work around the clock guys all right really incredible some people just need to get a life they need to get a hobby they need to find something better to do You surely heard well said. People need to get a life. But it's true. They see this as some sort of monument to trump the reflecting pool. And if they can sabotage it and make it look like a failure, it's like, see, his presidency is a failure. And, well, they're nuts. And now the suggestion is or the reports are that they're actually breaking the law, violating the law, and vandalizing the reflecting pool. And they're hoping that the media doesn't pay attention. A U.S. attorney in the District of Columbia, Janine Piro, appeared on Fox News Sunday yesterday, and she talked about it. President Trump's got a crime stoppers tip for you. He says, lightweight ABC reporter Jonathan Carl was seen sticking his hand into the pool and trying to rip the rubber off the surface. Judge, is Jonathan Carl from ABC in trouble? Well, you know, it depends. You know, anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize the reflecting pool will face the criminal justice system in D.C. Look, the president has made it a priority to make D.C. not only safe but beautiful. And there are several citations that have been handed out to individuals. And these are cases that will be prosecuted to the full extent. If there are more serious products that are put into the reflecting pool to create more algae or a bigger problem, then we'll consider more serious charges. But make no mistake, making DC beautiful is a priority. And if you damage, vandalize, or do anything to impact something like the reflective pool, you can be prosecuted. Which brings us to my friend and colleague, Scott Jennings, who was on CNN over the weekend, and I told you about those protesters that have signs rooting on the algae. Yeah, take it away, Scott Jennings. Regarding the vandalism, that's absolutely true. Somebody did vandalize the grass. Even when workers were working on the reflecting pool, I think I read that people came and vandalize their trucks and their equipment. Look, you have people that hate Donald Trump so much. that they would go out and destroy our national monuments, vandalize the Lincoln Memorial, vandalized the grass. That's how broken-brained they are. Donald Trump has cleaned up Washington. The fountain's work, the city is clean, the city is safe. It's good that he has taken an interest in this. And you have these people out here who are so broken-brain about the fact that he's the president that they're spending their time vandalizing all this stuff. I think it's terrible, and I hope anybody who vandalizes our monuments... I hope they get caught. I hope they get put in jail. He's trying to make the city beautiful for America too. Exactly. And just think about it. These protesters, they're literally cheering on pawn scum. That's where we are. Incredible. I want to tell you about my friends at best hot grill.com.
