Hour 1: Baraka suing Habba?

Baraka suing Habba?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And good morning to you in the Big Three today,
Newark Mayor ros Baraka is now suing New Jersey attorney
US attorney Alena Habba for arresting him, you know, when
he trespassed at an ice facility, a charge that later
had to be dropped.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I don't know if Alena Habba and Ricky Pottel have
enough resources to pay me for the damages they've caused me,
but at the end of the day, they should at
least apologize.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Should least write a letter
and apologize to me, No, that's not gonna happen. New
York City Councilwoman Vicki Palladino post on X that Canada
for Mayor Zor and mom Donnie, who was born in Uganda,
should be deported.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yes, frankly disgusting to see the kind of rhetoric that
has been normalized in this city and in this country.
I will be the first immigrant mayor of the city
in generations. But more important than who I'll be is
what I'll do. I'll stand up for immigrant New Yorkers,
treat them like every other New Yorker.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Now she has clarified her position that she knows he
can't be deported, and she is coming on to talk
about this controversy at eight oh five. We'll be talking
to Councilwoman Vicki Palladino at eight oh five. Tonight is
the first of two New York City mayoral debates between
the nine candidates. The current Mayor, Eric Adams won't be

(01:23):
there as he decides to run as an independent, So
what will he be doing.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
I'm going to be running the City of New York.
They are running for my office. I'm running the city.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
And the Justice Department is now investigating if President Biden
was aware of the pardons that were signed on his
behalf in the last days of his presidency. Subpoenas could
be issued for several Biden White House staff members.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Why should these Biden aids even need a subpoena? They
should be out in public saying I did not commit forgery.
I did not take advantage of, as Robert Hurst said,
a well meeting elderly man with a poor memory to
abuse the power of the United States government. But they're
not going to show up on their own, So they
need to have a subpoena to force them.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, exactly where have all these aids been. They all
went into hiding after it. Most of the time you
see them everywhere. No, no, no, there's something going on here.
It's going to be really interesting to hear about the
Justice Department investigation. And after the anti Semitic terror attack
in Boulder, Colorado, the borders are tom Homan says he

(02:33):
fears more attacks may be coming.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
The Biden administration were bringing people unvetted, handing out work
for the selector candy while they sat here and planned
something bad. We are going to be dealing with this
for the next ten years because of the chaos they
created in four years.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, let's talk more about that. Tom Homan said something
that scared the hell out of me. He said, there's
been two million got aways over the last four years. Now.
God aways are people that the border patrol knows they're
coming over the border, but they can't catch them. They
see them on security cameras, they see them, they have

(03:12):
motion sensors. They see them on motion sensors, so they
know people got away, but they weren't able to apprehend them.
And especially during the Biden administration, when the border patrol
was pulled from their jobs and they had to do processing,
they had to take all those amnesty claims because everybody
could get amnesty. And that's the point that Tom Holman

(03:34):
was making. Why would you want to get away? Why
it is more beneficial just to go up to a
border patrol agent and say, hey, I'm declaring amnesty because
everybody was getting it, as he said a moment ago,
they were giving it away like candy. So why would
you risk getting, you know, getting caught and sent back

(03:58):
by being a getaway. Why wouldn't you take the free
ride to New York, or the free ride to Chicago,
or the free ride to Los Angeles and a meal
and maybe a job, and you know, they took care
of you. You could stay in hotel in New York.
Why the world was your oyster? If you just went
in and declared amnesty, they were going to send you

(04:19):
to a sanctuary city and they were going to take
care of everything and your family. You were fine, You
were you would be doing really well. Why And the
why is what worries Tom Holman and should worry you.
These are people that didn't want all that, They wanted

(04:40):
to keep their identity a secret. Why, he believes, and
and he's not the only one. Christopher Ray, the former
FBI director, testified in front of Congress the very same thing.
He's he's he was fearful of it too. He he said,

(05:00):
the terrorist security risk, this is Christopher Ray. Under Biden,
the head of the FBI, said the terrorist security risk
in this country is on high alert. Now. He didn't
go as far as to say it was because of
the border. He was pressed on that and he said,

(05:21):
that is a problem. But of course that's the problem.
Of course it is. We had people coming from all
over the world to get through. Of course we're worried
about that, and they can't. They have no records of them.
That's what they wanted. That's why they didn't go through amnesty.
They didn't want to give their names. They didn't want

(05:43):
anybody to know where they are. They didn't want to
be tracked. And now they're spread out across the country,
two million of them. And Tom Holman says, that's what
keeps me up at night, not not those that Ice
is grabbing. We know where they are and they have records.

(06:08):
You know, the ones were after right now committed crimes,
or they overstayed their orders, or they didn't show up
for their amnesty hearings. We have records of them, We
kind of know where they are. We can track them.
The people who are the getaways that you kept hearing
about over and over again during the Biden administration. The

(06:33):
number that was when they told you how many people
across the border, and then there was a number as
they broke it down, there was a sub number that
said getaways. They're the people that Homan is worried about,
and they're the people we should be worried about too,
because who knows where they are in our communities right
now or what they're planning. Now. That's not what Mohammed

(06:55):
Sabrey Solomon did. He overstayed his work visa. He came
here from Egypt. They apparently didn't do a proper profile
on him or interview him, probably even at all. They
just stamped his paper. That's it. You're in. Because he
was an raging anti Semite. He's a terrorist and he

(07:21):
came here and he's told police, I've been planning this
for a long time. Yeah, I hate juice. And now
his whole family is going to be deported. They might
have been deported already, his five kids and his wife.
They picked him up Christy nom picked them up.

Speaker 7 (07:38):
Mohammed's despicable actions will be prosecuted to the fullest extent
of the law.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
But we're also.

Speaker 7 (07:43):
Investigating to what extent his family knew about the horrific attack,
if they had any knowledge of it, or if they
provided support to it.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, it sounds like that investigation is over. They were
saying they may have been deported as early as last night.
We're still waiting for confirmation on the fact that they
were deported. Uh, this is av This is a wake
up call for us all.

Speaker 8 (08:05):
Under the Trump administration, aliens will only be admitted into
the United States through the legal process, and only if
they do not bear hostile attitudes towards our citizens, our culture,
our government, our institutions, or most importantly, our founding principles.
Under President Trump, the United States has zero tolerance for
foreign visitors who support terrorism.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Duh. Yes, of course, how come that wasn't happening before
we would think about it for a second, think about
how dangerous this was. Everybody was just let in, even
a guy like Mohammed Sabre Solomon and anti Semite from
Egypt who was coming here, and they just stamped his

(08:49):
go ahead, go ahead, Come on in, come on in.
And so it's not just the border, it's all these
visas that were granted too that happened under Biden administration
at all. They didn't check anybody, They didn't check anybody.
That's why we're having problems in our campuses. That's why

(09:10):
we're having problems in our streets. That's why people were
almost burnt alive. Well they were burnt alive. They were
almost killed in Boulder, Colorado. This is what the last
administration wrought. And I know the Democrats keep saying, oh,
let's look ahead, let's look ahead. We can't. We can't

(09:31):
look ahead because it's inflicting us right now. And your
lack of interest during those four years and your lack
of interest right now is why you're in the position
you are right now where Americans don't trust you and
they don't vote for you. By the way, i'd love

(09:53):
to hear from you. Don't forget. You can leave us
a talk back all morning long. Go to seven to
ten woor on the iHeartRadio app and click the microphone.
Let's talk about something nicer. What is a dog doing
in the grass and city field? We'll tell you next
plus tickets to see The Beach Boys at seven twenty
five and a twenty five Welcome back. Always appreciate your talkbacks.

(10:15):
You add to the conversation. You add not only to
the conversation, but you add facts and thoughts that make
make the show much richer. Just go to the iHeartRadio
app look for seven to ten woor and when you're there,
look for the talkback feature. You put the microphone and

(10:36):
then you are on the air. We just talked about
all of the gotaways, the people that that the Border
Patrol knows across the southern border, but they weren't able
to apprehend. They know that from video, they know that
from motion detectors, and we played Tom Holman talking about
the fact that that keeps them up at night because

(10:58):
why why, since we're letting everybody in and you could
actually get more resources if you just go and claim amnesty,
why were they coming in? And he thinks that we're
going to be dealing with this over the next ten
years because they're probably up to no good. And that
is the subject of our first talkback.

Speaker 9 (11:18):
Larry, regarding the two million got aways, think about this math.
If one tenth of one percent of those two million
are actual terrorists. That's still two thousand terrorists in the country.
It only took nineteen for nine to eleven. So yeah,
the world has become a scary place thanks for Joe

(11:40):
Biden and Democrats.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
No, I'm not going to sleep tonight. Yes, no, I
agree with you. I agree with you. It was always
an awful idea. I don't know who thought this was
a good idea. I don't know what was happening. I
do know there were reports that every time Joe Biden
would get the numbers of what was going on, you

(12:06):
could hear him dropping f bombs in the West wing
really loud. So he knew this was bad too. Why
didn't he just stop it? Because he didn't want to
do this exact same thing that Trump did, that's all.
That's all it was. He didn't want to be Donald Trump.
He wanted to be the anti Trump. That's what he
ran on. And so now we're here, and then later,

(12:28):
you know, his mental faculties were gone. So all right,
let's talk about something nicer, because that is you're right, though,
it's a scary story. If one tenth of one percent
are actual terrorists, and you do the numbers, then we
are in trouble, and I know, I'm so glad the

(12:48):
FBI is aware of it, and I'm so glad Tom
Holman's aware of it, and I'm so glad the administration's
aware of it. So hopefully they're doing their jobs. But
if you're right, just nineteen slipped through, Well, I'm not
even gonna talk about it anymore. Let's talk about something nice.
Let's talk about Buddy the dog. Buddy the dog isn't
that great. Buddy is a VET dog and these are

(13:14):
service dogs.

Speaker 10 (13:15):
That the veteran, not as a veterinarian.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, okay, thanks for that clarific when dog, Yeah yeah,
you thought it was a veterinarian at first. Okay. They're
service dogs that that they team up with veterans, not veterinarians,
because veterinarians have plenty of dogs. They they're teamed up
with veterans. Uh, you know some veterans who are having

(13:40):
a hard time dealing with coming back and and it's
it's really a great idea. Uh. There is actually a
whole vets dog Dog's operation and that's why they have Buddy.
They train Buddy to be a VET dog at City
Field during Mets games. You can see him. They everybody
loves Buddy the vet dog. How about he's the star. Yeah,

(14:03):
Buddy is part Labrador and part oh. I have to
look it up. It's but he's a beautiful dog, just
a beautiful dog. He's like a year and a half
years old. And Bob Zagaja is the volunteer who is
training him and takes him around and he gets to
go to all the Mets gapes. So it's it's not

(14:23):
a bad gig for Bob.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
But he says, not only not only do the fans
love it, the players love it as well.

Speaker 11 (14:35):
Brandon Nemo, Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonzo.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
They love Buddy.

Speaker 11 (14:39):
They always come up and say hello to him, give
him a belly rubb or a pat on the back.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, he's become like a star. People of the players
when they go on the field to start practicing, always
go up to Buddy. You see them all petting him.

Speaker 10 (14:52):
It's like a therapy dog. People love it, you know,
brings your nerves down for a game, calms you down.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
And the fans know his name man, because kids will
be there and they'll be looking for some one of
the players to throw them a ball during the throwing,
the warm ups or something like that. But he carry
a dog and they'll go Buddy, Buddy, Buddy. Yeah, he
wears a little jersey. Ah, he wears a little jersey.
It's pretty quick. Cute now there are It's difficult though.
They had to train him. You know, not only are
they training in the work with vets, but they're training him,

(15:19):
you know, just to behave during the games.

Speaker 11 (15:21):
Popcorn has been as kryptonite when that's blowing around the concourse.
We've had a cheach Buddy not to go lunging for
the popcorn of the peanuts or things like that.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
But Buddy is going to stay there for a year.
They're going to hook him up with a veteran and
then they bring in another dog next year to start training.
So Buddy's the first of many Buddies.

Speaker 10 (15:42):
Great program.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Now let's get the news at six point thirty with
Jacqueline Carl. Jacqueline, Good morning.

Speaker 10 (15:48):
President Trump is doubling down on tariffs, raising them on
imported steel and aluminum to fifty percent as of midnight.
The White House says it's about protecting national security and
US industry. Trump announced the move last week at a
rally in Pittsburgh, where he also shared plans for a
new partnership between US Seal and Japan's Nippon Steel. And

(16:09):
it won't just be a hazy day today in and
around New York City. There's an air quality advisory in effect.

Speaker 12 (16:15):
New York State issuing the air quality advisory from eleven
am to eleven pm in the city and points north,
including Westchester and Rockland Counties and the rest of the
Lower Hudson Valley blame Canadian wildfires once again. Some at
risk people, including those with cardiovascular or respiratory issues, kids,
the elderly, and those who work or exercise outside, might

(16:38):
want to limit their outdoor exposure.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Andrew Whitman wr News.

Speaker 10 (16:44):
This is kind of cool if it's actually going to work.
According to Oddity Central, Japanese scientists at a university there
created a virtual reality game that might actually improve eyesight.
The game makes players focus on objects moving out different distances,
exercising eye muscles to help with focusing issues. In a

(17:05):
six week study, ten young adults with mild near sightedness
played the game regularly and their vision got better. Don't
you think that's great? That's amazing. I wish that happened
when you know, like I started having to wear contacts
that there was. I feel like there's so many improvements
and advancements and for us, for our health with Alzheimer's, eyesight, cancer,

(17:28):
all kinds of things, and just when we're getting to
be really like impenetrable bulletproof, we're gonna need it because
of AI.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
That's right, because AI is going to take over exactly at.

Speaker 10 (17:40):
Least we'll have good eyesight, at.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Least we'll see them.

Speaker 10 (17:44):
But that is kind of a cool thing. If that works.
I'd like to see that that used more.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
It is because all we've ever heard over and over
and over again are that they're bad for your eyes.
The visio games staring at the screen are bad for
your eyes.

Speaker 10 (17:56):
Maybe probably why they did it, that's, you know, maybe two.
They can make all video games have some component of
that so it's not so bad for a kid's eyes.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
That's a great idea, Jacqueline Carl.

Speaker 10 (18:06):
Yeah, just ask me, come to me.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
You can make a lot of money with this. A
New York City council member, once a mayoral candidate, deported
and the mayor of Newark is suing the New Jersey
US Attorney General. Politics in the Tri state area is
off the charts crazy. We'll talk about it next and
I want to hear what you have to say. Leave
us a talkback. Go to seven to ten WOOR on
the iHeartRadio app and click the microphone and when you're there,

(18:32):
put seven to ten woor on your presets. Plus you
could win a limited edition Minty in the Morning t shirt,
which will be awarded each day to our favorite talkback
of the morning. Well, both races, the one for governor
in New Jersey and the one for mayor in New York.

(18:53):
There's a whole lot of other races, but they're the
ones at the top of the tickets. They've both got
a whole lot interesting and one because of our favorite,
Vicki Palladino. Vicki Palladino can be a flamethrower. She can
get involved in things and stir everything up, and that's

(19:13):
what she's done this time. Vicky put out a tweet
that was of course picked up by the New York
Times right away, and this is what the tweet said.
Let us talk about how insane it is to elect
you's talking about zorin mom Donnie. Let us talk about
how insane it is to elect someone to any major
office who hasn't been a US citizen for ten years,

(19:37):
much less a radical leftist who actually hates everything about
this country and is here specifically to undermine everything who've
ever been about. And then later she's put out a
tweet saying or an ex post saying, duport Now, Mom, Donnie,

(20:00):
as you probably know, is running second in the polls,
and he keeps rising. He's a socialist. He's going to
make the city broke if he gets in. He has
voted against acknowledging the Holocaust year after year after year
after year, and so right away this became a huge story.

(20:24):
And if Mom Donnie, of course was asked about it,
and he posted. First of all, he posts death threats,
Islamic bigotry. Now a citing council member called for my deportation.
This is what he wrote on social media. This is
what Trump and his Sinkle fans have wrought. Of course,
he had to bring Trump into the conversation because they
all run on Trump, because they have really no other policies.

(20:46):
They just run against Trump. And this is what he
said in the local news last night.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Frankly disgusting to see the kind of rhetoric that has
been normalized in this city and country. I will be
the first immigrant mayor of the city in generations. But
more important than who I'll be is what I'll do.
I'll stand up for immigrant New Yorkers, treat them like
every other New Yorker.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Now, I will say that this anti semitism is big
in running against him. Everybody has been bringing that up.
Everybody's bringing up that he's an anti Semitic, and that
he hasn't acknowledged the Holocaust, and that he's voted against
things on Jewish and he's an assemblyman right now and

(21:32):
he's voted against constantly things that are important for Jewish issues.
He was on MSNBC now that that in itself is
a big deal. This was yesterday before the controversy. That
in itself is a big deal because now there they
got a candidate. MSNBC now has their savior for New
York City. They're going to push Zamdani and uh Mam Donnie.

(21:56):
And he was on there and they asked him about that. Now.
They kissed up to him constantly. They asked him how
he was going to fix this, how he's going to
fix that, And he had programs, here's going to be
free rant and was going to raise the minimum wage
to thirty dollars an hour. Not once did they ask
him how he was going to pay for that. They
let him just talk about all these things he was
going to do, all this money he was going to spend.

(22:17):
Never did they ask the obvious question, well, how can
you afford all that? But then finally at the end,
and they were pussy footing this question. They didn't come
out hard on him and talk about his past votes
and some of his past statements. Instead they talked about
anti Semitism in the city and Jews being afraid. And

(22:39):
this is what Mom Donnie said.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Jewish New Yorkers deserve to be protected, they deserve to
be safe. And as the next mayor of the city,
that's what I will do. And I've heard, especially when
we speak about anti Semitism, how do we go beyond
just talking about it?

Speaker 1 (22:51):
How do we actually tackle it?

Speaker 3 (22:52):
And that's why at the heart of that proposal to
create a Department of Community Safety is a commitment to
increase funding for anti hate crime pro programming by eight
hundred percent. The very programming we've seen the effective at
countering the rise in these kinds of attacks.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Well, he doesn't talk like he votes, that's for sure. Actions,
I think speak louder than words, and he's voted against
Jewish issues time and time again. He wouldn't even acknowledge
that the Holocaust happened, which is just a pro formal
vote that the city council take, that the Assembly, I
mean takes every single year and everybody votes except for

(23:26):
a handful, including Mom Donnie, in support of it. Mayor
Adams was particularly nice to Vicki. To Vicki, we.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
All cantroll down to rhet rhetoric, all of us. And
you know, so if we want to point to Vicki,
in which she stated, we need to point to ourselves first.
I mean some of the stuff that we've been saying
and writing and reading. You know, we are leading our behaviors,
leading to some of the actions that you're seeing plan

(23:56):
out across the globe. I mean someone through a Molotov
cocktail at innocent people.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
You know, some of the stuff.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
That we're seeing, and everybody is saying how terrible it is.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, but we're leading to this atmosphere.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
We've created this atmosphere, and so I think all of
us can tone down our rhetoric.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
How well spoken was that that's the new mayor Adams
now that he doesn't have to run, now that he's
an independent, he doesn't even have to run against anybody. Really,
that was very good and he's absolutely right. All of
these protesters, everything that's happening on the streets in New
York City, you don't think that leads to what's been happening,

(24:40):
What just happened in Colorado, what happened when too young,
young Jewish couple was killed down in Washington, DC, When
Joshapiro's Governor Joshapiro in Pennsylvania's house was lit on fire,
all anti Semitism, and it all rises up when they
see it on TV. Most importantly, we are going to

(25:02):
have Vicky Palladino on the air with us to talk
about this coming up at eight oh five. That is
must listen to radio real quickly. Let's talk about what's
happening across the river in New Jersey, and you know
New Jersey where I worked for it for the last
seven years doing a TV show there. It's they have

(25:25):
the gubernatorial election going on right now and it is
going to be close. And look, ros Baraka has been
rising in the polls because his name's been all over
television and he's been on constantly because Alena Haba arrested
him when he trespassed at an ice facility. And now

(25:48):
because all the publicity has gone away and now we're
in early voting, he's back again and he is suing
the US attorney, Alena Haba.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
All of that is false if you see the video
as false. What happened, I think the judge pointed it
out in the dismissal hearing, was that they arrested me
before they did an investigation, right, so the charges were
thrown out by your judge.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
And so what he's saying is I was falsely charged
and that's why he's suing. And you know, he didn't
resist arrest.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
When they did an investigation, they saw that the arrest
was unlawful, it shouldn't have happened, and so they had
to dismiss it. There was no resisting in there. There's
nothing in a video that showed resisted.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
His lawyer was also there and said she doesn't often
agree with Alena Haba, but she does in this one case.

Speaker 13 (26:40):
She said, he willingly chose to disregard the law which
is false, And later that night she went on Fox
and again made false statements. Haaba said in her tweet,
no one is above the law. I don't agree with
Elena Habbab about much, but I agree with that, And
today she's finding out that even she is not above
the law.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
We'll see how it all turns out. In the meantime,
the Justice Department is now investigating whether President Biden even
knew about the pardons he signed. More on that investigation next,
and our iHeartRadio Music Festival is back and you can

(27:21):
win your way in before you can buy tickets. It
all happened September nineteenth and twenty if at t Mobile
Arena in Las Vegas, two nights, one stage. Listen to
win tickets before you can buy them, Plus you get
airfare hotel on one thousand dollars in cash. Your next
chance to win happens at nine o'clock. We'll get ready

(27:41):
for all of the investigations into former President Biden's competency
when he was in office. There is going to be
Congressional investigations. There will be subpoena's going out very shortly
to some of the people working there to find out
if he knew what he was signing, if he knew
he was doing, and if anybody was taking actions on

(28:03):
his behalf without him knowing, because there's certainly enough evidence
that that has happened in the past by well by
all the books that have come out with people saying
exactly that, and with members of Congress and members of
the Senate who have been going there and were surprised,
for instance, he didn't know he signed an executive order.

(28:24):
And now the Justice Department's going to get involved. But
this is a little bit different. This is a little
bit different than what Congress is doing. Congress is that's
a full fledged investigation into all four years of the
presidency and what he was doing. This investigation by the
Justice Department is just at the end of the Biden

(28:45):
presidency and all of those pardons he signed, and he
was plentiful. He was signing dozens of pardons, a lot
of them for his family, but a lot of them
for convicted criminals that were serving time that he either
spared them to death penalty or he let them go. Now,
one thing to realize when you hear all of this talk,

(29:05):
you keep hearing about the autopen, the autopen, the autopen,
the autopen, and that is a pen that someone can
use that will sign exactly like the president to an
executive order. Other presidents have used that. It's not like
Joe Biden was the first one to do this, and
it's always been an accepted method unless the president doesn't

(29:27):
know you're using it. And that's what's in question right now.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
The only place the Constitution requires him to actually sign
it is a bill. So all these other decisions, appointing ambassadors,
issuing pardons, what's important is not did he sign it,
but did President Biden make a conscious decision and did
anyone record it? So I think that actually makes it
worse for the Biden aids and makes it even more
compelling that we should have an investigation.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, that's John Yu constitutional attorney, and he's exactly right.
And also Edwin Martin, who's lead the investigation, he is
the attorney in charge of pardons for the Justice Department,
said something similar.

Speaker 14 (30:07):
No one, I think, with the standard of sort of reasonableness,
thinks that what Joe Biden did at the end of
his term was particularly reasonable. Now, I happen to think
the pardon power is plenary if you use the auto
pen for a pardon power. I don't think that that's
necessarily a problem. But the question is how did this happen?
Just like by the way, many people said, well, wait,

(30:27):
there's fifteen hundred January sixth pardons, How did that happen?
These are big moments, and so they have to be
able to withstand scrutiny. And I do think that the
Biden pardons need some scrutiny.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, they absolutely need some scrutiny. And John Yu again
agrees that this has to be looked into, only because
some of the pardons just didn't seem to make sense.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
And Biden name any of these cop killers? Can he
name any of the child murderers that he granted pardons to?
Does you remember any of their name? Did any aid
actually write down the names when he.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Made the decision?

Speaker 5 (31:04):
If they can't show that, then what worries me is
that these aids seized presidential power, are committing forgery, committing.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Abuse of power.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
They should need to be prosecuted by the Justice Department,
and more importantly, Congress should have hearings, should have its
own special counsel to figure out do we need to
have a different body rather than the cabinet decide whether
a president has become incompetent and needs to be replaced.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
It's going to be coming that investigation is coming not
only by the Justice Department, by Congress as well. This
is going to be a huge story over the next
couple of months. In the meantime, three high profile anti
Semitic attacks in the last three weeks, with anti Israel
protests continuing in New York, high profile defense attorney Jeffrey

(31:52):
Lichman is here to talk about it all coming up
right after the seven o'clock News
