A new report confirms what first responders, Stuyvesant students, and downtown families have said for a quarter century: city leaders knew the air was toxic and told the public it was safe anyway. They prioritized reopening the New York Stock Exchange over the health of the kids, the cops, and the firefighters. Paul's message is blunt: outrage and sadness get old. We need an action plan. If people lied about a public health catastrophe, they should go to jail — no matter who they are.","meta_description":"On the week of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Paul Rieckhoff broadcasts from Lower Manhattan with the memorial lights going up over his shoulder — and a fr…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1072,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/independent-americans-with-paul-rieckhoff-981737/episodes/they-chose-wall-street-over-the-firefighters-the-ground-zero-toxin-lie-exposed-trump-s-prime-time-flop-up-against-the-nfl-every-day-is-like-a-9-11-for-ukraine-media-blitz-pod/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/independent-americans-with-paul-rieckhoff-981737/they-chose-wall-street-over-the-firefighters-the-ground-zero-toxin-lie-exposed-trump-s-prime-time-flop-up-against-the-nfl-every-day-is-like-a-9-11-for-ukraine-media-blitz-pod.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
