Speaker 1 (00:00):
This just came out. Secret Service agents were outraged last
year by the White House's attempt to downplay the bite
injuries caused by the first dog, Major, even trying to
get President Biden to personally pay for a damaged coat.
Newly released documents show from a freedom of information request,
secret Service leaders who sought to keep attack details out

(00:21):
of the official paperwork, at one point rejecting an agent's
excessively detailed account to avoid upsetting the First family. After
Major bit agents on eight consecutive days. Holy count good,
you'd be good and tired of it by then. So
a week plus a day. I get bit every single day. Hey,

(00:44):
isn't he? Are we gonna do anything about this? Or
I'm just gonna keep coming to work and getting bit? Hey? Hey,
Mr President, you're effing dog bites me one more time,
I'm gonna beat you over the head with the dog.
The records, released in response to a Freedom of Information
Act lawsuit by Judicial Watch show that attacks occurred both

(01:04):
earlier and later than we're previously known. They also show
internal discord at the Secret Service, which has been embroiled
since last week. In a different scandal, we should talk
about White House press Secretary Jen Saki acknowledged just one
biting incident last March nine, when it was in the
news saying the families the family the first family's younger

(01:24):
dog Major was surprised by an unfamiliar person and reached
in a way that has resulted in a minor injury
to the individual. Well, the FOYA got this information at
the March eighth bite actually was the final attack in
an eight day streak, and that the injured agent, whose
injuries were categorized as severe. Holy Cow fumed about Saki's spin. No,

(01:46):
I didn't surprise the dog doing my job by being
exactly where I was supposed to be, as the Press
Secretary just said. Now I'm pissed, the agent wrote one
co worker, Wow, lion liars, you got a senile old president.
He forgets to wear his pants. You got wild dogs
running the halls of the White House alling up the stairs.

(02:09):
The colleague replied, esimate, shake my head. Hopefully you didn't
get hurt bad. Well, another message back from that Secret
Service agent that got bit had the photos and they
referred to by the other Secret Service agent who was
asked in this story. The injury cannot be described in
any other term than severe so severe dog bite after
eight straight days of dog bites from the same dog,

(02:32):
and they were supposed to cover that up or just
we're doing it to be nice people or something. Well,
that's gotta be violating the laws of Washington, d C. Too.
If your dog attacks somebody twice, they're probably gonna put
it down. Well, first of all, you're you'd lose your
homeowners insurance and and the county would take your dog.
Most places, eight days in a row. I find myself wondering,

(02:55):
what's the record? I mean, how you can it get
any worse? Bit somebody twelve days in a row. Turns
out that's the all time record, and I doubt it.
If I'm that secret service guy I show up for
day nine, I don't know. I'm half open. The dog
bites me again. You got a thing going. There are
dogs that bite people, but all of us know as

(03:17):
dog owners that most of us have dogs that we
have for many, many years and never bite anybody once. Correct,
Biting somebody eight days in a row is extraordinary. That's
that's a serious aggression problem. Yeah, how did they not
get that under control? Like bite one? Okay, though, this
this dog is clearly not okay for a variety of reasons.

(03:38):
With being you know, just out around people in the
hustle bustle of the White House and all that sort
of stuff. Dogs would be perfectly fine with it. They
wag their tail at every new person. Oh look a
new person. Wag my tail. Wag my tail right right, Wow,
this is a major scandal. Apologize for eight straight days.
That's amazing. How long are you going to go? Peter

(04:01):
Doocey has to grill Jen Sakiah, Yeah, that's a good
one to do it. Armstrong and Jetty
