We Were Right About Everything”: Fauci, Romo and the Reflecting Pool

We start the hour with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool case, where prosecutors drop charges against former Olympian David Hearn after contractor flaws replace vandalism as the stated cause of the damage. Dawn defends Jeanine Pirro’s decision to disclose the new record, Greg presses the administration’s earlier claims, and the crew debates what loyalty to a president should look like when fresh evidence changes a case. The argument lands on candor, agency infighting and whether officials make the president look worse by withholding facts. Nick then turns his anger toward Markwayne Mullin, whose hard-line no-amnesty post clashes with remarks that people holding temporary status can pursue other legal routes. We draw lines between illegal entry, expired status, legal work visas and permanent citizenship while blaming Congress for leaving immigration policy unresolved for decades. The table also compares Obama-era deportation totals, media treatment of enforcement and the political cost of softening language that helped put the current administration in power. Tony Romo’s Wisconsin OWI arrest becomes the next workplace fight after CBS places him on indefinite leave and installs J.J. Watt. We examine Romo’s remaining contract, his preparation, a possible morals clause and whether the network is using the case to replace an analyst it already doubts. Harry Mayes joins, predicts Romo is finished at CBS, then helps us salute Jordan Salinas, an off-duty trooper and teen lifeguard Ryder Williams for stepping toward danger while others reach for a phone.
