7-28-26 Hour 2 - Media Ignores Fauci Diary

He started off saying don't wear them, that he said wear them, that he said don't wear them.

And I lost a lot of respect for him during the period of time. But I inherited. He's been there since the 1980s. I mean, he was a guy that was there that I inherited. He inherited him, President Trump speaking about Dr. Anthony Fauci.

I guess he didn't want to fire him, maybe looking back at you, which as he had used his token line, your fire.

“We're going to have more on Fauci, I think, throughout the show and tomorrow because he's”

heading over to Capitol Hill to answer some of the senator's questions about his dear diary entries, which just seemed to read like, almost like a comic book, it's kind of sad. But to break this down for us, I have Bradley Jay joining us, politics editor at Breitbart News. Hey Bradley, how wild is some of this Fauci, I guess documents that we're seeing, do you

call it documents? It's a diary.

I think it's been, I always think a little girl's, like, you know, little love letters

in their diary, not Anthony Fauci writing love letters about CNN hosts, but that seems to be what we have noticed. Alex, the more I found out about this Fauci character, the more I don't like it, there's just, there seems to be something a miss to this guy. No, I mean, it's clear that guys associated past, Washington is full of two types of people,

those who got shoved into too many lockers or folks who didn't get shoved into enough lockers.

“I don't know which one this guy is, but I think he's both, I would love nothing more this”

morning than to shove Anthony Fauci into a locker, I'd make him feel it, the guy clearly has some screws loose, he's looking for validation from a certain class of folks, it's very clear from these, and you said, I guess they're diary, there's just something a miss here, you and I were talking a little bit before the radio show about how it seems like all of his entries almost all of them focus on media, there's some that are a little

bit behind the scenes about what was going on at the White House, but it seems like everything that he was focusing on was him, his ability from in the White House to get his message out like to the press or cameras or that sort of thing, it's just, you know, a narcissistic personality issue there, but I'm going to play a clip real quick, I think it's cut 18 and have you react to it's rampal, now he's pretty much been the laser, he's been

laser focused on Fauci, I'm sure he's going to give him a grilling come tomorrow and one thing he's noted is that, you know, it seems that what we've been hearing from Fauci publicly isn't what we know now from documents privately, that's one of the biggest items that we found in there was that in January of 2020, he already was acknowledging that the virus didn't originate in the marketplace for years, he's been telling it, if you interviewed

him last week, he's quite still telling you the reason we came from nature is because he had these exotic animals and that's where SARS came from previously, but he knew he already knew and we've known this for a while that other people knew, but we didn't know he actually knew and was acknowledging that it didn't, the earliest people who got COVID were not associated with the marketplace, the Chinese CDC was saying this in January of 2020,

he knew it, he told Dear Diary, but to the public, he commissioned this paper called Proximal Origins and in it, they go on and on saying it's implausible that it came from the lab and we're really convinced it came from these wild animals in the marketplace, but that level of dishonesty is really astounding. So privately, you know, in his, these documents, it shows that his, the whole, he's kind

“of bearing this lab leak issue, remember publicly, it was like he was almost mocking President”

Trump when he would talk about the lab leak and that was, you know, of course during the whole 2020 election leading up to that, how much, that cost, that was a big deal and the media, it was like anyone that brought that up, you were like silence, you were censored. I mean, people were censored on social media for that. Yeah, censored, I mean, people lost their livelihoods, all because of this cover-up from

Fauci Inc., some guy who clearly was more obsessed with positive media coverage and adoration than he was, it's actually doing his dad gum job, it's absurd and it was very clear from the get go, I mean, they said this came from like the open air market, nobody bought

that, it was very clear that it originated in a lab and here's the thing.

a scientist first, but the way that you, not only the way that you manufacture and produce

a vaccine for a virus like this, but the way that you treat it, the entire approach, all that is world's different based on whether the virus originated in a lab or whether, if it was manufactured by a scientist, by researcher or if it originated in nature. So much of our response, not just in this country, but world wide was wrong with based on laws and Anthony Fauci was the tip of the spear here, how many hundreds of thousands

of more people died because Anthony Fauci sought fame more than he did scientists, in fact. And what was, who is he covering up for? I mean, this guy was protecting the scientific bureaucracy or so that he was people who,

in this profession, you're actually supposed to be protecting, I mean, it just reprehensible,

I mean, this gas should, there's no punishment to severe for this guy. Yeah, well, he has that part and he's going to be writing in Ion, his horse with a lot of his part in it. Yeah, he is absolutely in court and we put it to test. One of the things I like you guys did over at brightbark.com, you guys have a story pointing

out, some of one of his entries about having dinner with Jake Tapper and his wife at the house.

“And then of course, you know, that was around the time, like I think days apart were people”

were told not to have, they can't have family gatherings, don't do that, you know, so

think of the people that weren't able to see their loved ones, funerals, weddings, all

of that, canceled, it's just, it's unfortunate, speaking of, though, you brought the up the auto pin. So I'm going to jump to Biden. There's news out today, some of these recordings from his with his ghost writer, a little bit, point to him understanding that some of his information he was sharing was classified.

Others kind of show his memory issue. I'm going to go ahead and play. Let's start with cut one. And then, actually, we have here, as well, this is a surprise for Biden to tell him that he's in the original 17th.

Okay, so Bradley, he's acknowledging, he has classified information, there's another sound bite of that where he mentions like, this next part might be classified, correct me if

“I'm wrong, but wasn't President Trump brought in to get his mugshot over classified information?”

Yeah, and it's clear that President Biden is doing this not by accident. This is it. Whoops. I grabbed the wrong file, shoved the wrong file in my briefcase on the way home from work.

It's very clearly suggesting that he is going to use classified materials illegally in a book that he can process from. Again, I think this is rules for me, but not for me, the same way with Fauci instructing all Americans and giving government the fodder to force militant lockdowns on people just days before he goes to be heated at some huge dinner hosted by Jake Tapper.

Here you have Biden, profiting or seeking a profit off of these classified materials. And all of this while his own department of justice is preparing to go after Donald Trump for doing something similar, even though Donald Trump has the ability as he argued to redeem these materials no longer classified. I mean, he's a commander in chief, you can do that.

But again, it's just rules for thee and not for me. It seems to be a common thread when we investigate all of these Democrat dealings that are going on. Yeah, and then he also in these clips shows a memory issue, which kind of, I'm going to follow up with you and tie that to the auto pin, let's play cut for real quick for Bradley.

So I'm going to ask you something else, I can't think where this is. Oh, Bradley, I don't know, I forgot what I was going to ask you. I'm like, what, let me think about this, the auto pin, okay, like if he can't remember is that why we saw the auto pin so much, is he doesn't hit, he's having memory issues, he's having thinking problems, is this does, is this not fuel for any sort of Republican

“investigation into that auto pin usage at the White House?”

Well, out of this was in the early days of the administration.

This was long before he went comatose on the debate stage. I mean, you're exactly right, if the president does not have sound bond when he is making decisions, if because of that, there are others who have served his authority as president as commander chief, I mean, this raises some very serious, not only legal questions, but this is a kind of thing that we have to determine now the answers to before this kind of thing

happens again.

“You know, I think of what happened in Woodrow Wilson's presidency, if you'll remember,”

he had a stroke and was not only bedridden, but was, I mean, he couldn't make public appearances.

He basically, I almost said he turned it over.

I don't know that it was willing. His wife took over his presidential duties because he was incapable of even making these kinds of decisions. So clearly, this is not a one-off, but even if it was, these are serious questions at whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, you should be able to put any partisan notions

aside because we need legal answers to this. What if it happens again? If it's a Republican in office, if it's a Democrat, I mean, yeah, I would like to see Biden and all those who enabled this illegal activity, I'd like to see them held accountable, but I think just for the health of our nation going forward, we need to really drill down

into this.

It's very, very serious, Alex.

And then, Bradley, I have about two minutes left. I'm going to play a one-minute clip. It's going to be, I want to touch on Michigan. If they just have the Democratic primary debate, one of them, we know we have a socialist candidate, LCE, versus a, quote, moderate Democrat, and Haley Stevens.

So let's go to cut 15 if we can. Just earlier this week, we heard that there was some kind of a Zoom call in which you had referenced an opponent as "Oger on a Pike," and so many people took a fence to that. And it really pointed to the bigger question about the tone and tenor that you've been accused of having in this campaign.

You regret any of the comments that you've made, and do you think that this race could

“take a more productive and a more substantive tone if we get those personal slams out?”

Look, I took to Twitter last week and said that the tone in which people talk about my

opponent is unkind and I asked anybody who supported me to not talk about her that way. In fact, when she got booed on the stage at the Michigan Democratic Party Convention, I called her personally and said that that was unkind. My supporters had nothing to do with it, but I don't think that that's the way we want to do politics.

I was referring to a guy named John Fetterman, who's a senator from Pennsylvania, who has done terrible things, got elected on a set of values and is now completely throwing those values in the mud. And I think Fetterman was out with a response just recently. He was able to get elected in a very purple state.

Fetterman seems to be the moderate, the answer to what Democrats would want to do with another purple state of Michigan. How do you make of this, Bradley, what should we be watching for with, you know, unfortunately what's going on there? I was happy to see President Trump, though calling all this communism out when he visited

Michigan yesterday.

“Yeah, it's, I think, just absolutely reprehensible to make any kind of comparison between”

Haley Stevens and Princess Fiona. Just terrible. There's, there's no comparison there, not at all. Look, I mean, this is politics, rhetoric gets heated, that's, I would, it's what moves the needle unfortunately, but they're very, very serious policies being talked about in

that race. And it's something that we at Breitbart and I know that you and others are going to continue to amplify because this has involved the future of our nation and critically important. Yeah, thank you so much, Bradley J. I'm political editor over at Breitbart News. I'm Alex Sawyer, editor at Large at The Washington Times, in for my mentor and good friend

Chris Plant, stay with us, we'll be right back. Call me Senator Schreck, whatever, but this guy is really the Pontiac Platner and he's really running to be the head of our emerging Pearl Hamas Wing here in the party. Rolling with Haley, I'm Haley Karinea, I scroll with the homies here in the live chat because there's a lot to scroll through on X on Instagram, on TikTok, cutting through the clutter,

one hot take at a time. Love seeing you all in the chat before the show, I tried to jump in just a few minutes before to say hello. I love the chat interaction, thank you for helping, but I do it to get all the videos and all of the content that you won't find anywhere else, scrolling with Haley.

Just search that up and I will be there.

Good morning, I'm Alex Schleier, Washington Times editor at Large, and for Chris Plant,

“who is on vacation, hopefully soaking up some sun.”

I've had a fun time sitting in his chair, it's been an honor. I want to bring in Chuck Flint. He is going to talk a little bit about data centers for us, which is a major topic here in D.C. He's served as a former Senate in House Chief of Staff and a former prosecutor. So he has a legal background, which of course, I like being a legal affairs reporter and

all, hey Chuck, thanks for taking a few minutes to chat with me. Hey, Alex, it's great to be with you. Thanks so much. Of course, one of the things I wanted to hit on with you was New York.

It looks like became the first state to impose a data center moratorium.

Everywhere I go in Washington, D.C., everyone's talking about AI data centers. It seems like lawmakers are very much pushing them. There's some people that are skeptical. Although there's a lot of benefits from the AI race against China, all of that. Tell me what's going on here with New York and what impact that will have.

Well, New York's moratorium is the first in the country, and it applies to hyperscale projects. And to your point, there's then a lot of criticism about data centers being built. There's actually polling that shows 70% of Americans are opposed to data centers. But the point that our organization has been making the coalition for affordability and prosperity is that there's also a lot of foreign influence that's going on in a data

center debate.

So for instance, China is actually subsidizing their buildout within their country,

while funding opposition to ours. And we know that we wrote a letter to the Intelligence Committee's. Their state run, media outlets, CGTN, China Daily, and Global Times have all run negative pieces, Neville Roy Singham, who's been profiled by Fox News and the New York Times is a Chinese tech tycoon and his nonprofit network has been pumping money into data center groups that have

been pushing moratoriums.

“So these moratoriums, are they, is it, does it become a national security concern?”

Well, it does because we don't want to fall behind in the AI race, and that's exactly what China wants. They, whoever is able to build these data centers, the quickest, is going to have military and economic advantages that could well dictate global power in the next century. And I'll also add this, we're not saying that there are not legitimate concerns about data centers

in, you know, how they're being built, but we can't base that off of foreign influence. Americans deserve to have a debate that is free from that. And so that's really what we're driving at, but the answer to all of this is to not stop building and Kathy Hockel's fix is more of a political one than a practical one. Yeah, I also, I have like a one minute left with you, this really quick segment.

I wanted to ask you since you have experienced on Capitol Hill. What do you think about Todd Blanche? His confirmation vote with the Senate Judiciary Committee is Thursday.

“Our numbers looking good there do you think he'll get confirmed?”

Well, it's going to come down to what Tillett Senators Tillerson Horton want to do, right? I think Senator Senator Tillerson, what I can tell he's a little more inclined to vote for him at this point, John Pornin, you know, he's kind of like a man with nothing to lose. Trump opposed him and it is, it is primary and he's got an issue with the weaponization fund. He wants to see it in writing that the weaponization fund is gone.

Yeah, we'll see if that plays out. Chuck Flint, I appreciate your time. This is Alex Swayer, Washington Times Editor at Large. We'll be right back after break. Ingrid and Indie present, Jobs, by which you don't have any much left.

Hi, he's a man. The guy just makes a huge mess. And you see, that's a guy who's beat. He's a black guy. And now the job.

This is a job for Sponsor Jobs, with real profits that won't happen. Fordrawing, forsoaring, and for the qualified talent with Sponsor Jobs. Master, indeed, Alpha, yet off, indeed, point the E slash recruiting. Good morning, Alex Swayer Editor at Large. For the Washington Times here in Chris Plant's chair, while he is on vacation.

You know, lots to talk about in the news today. I'm looking forward to picking the brain of the President of the Media Research Center,

He's going to be joining me in just a minute to talk about some of the coverage of Anthony Fauci,

“which, you know, seems to be one of the hot topics going viral as well as some of our”

socialist candidates and how they're being treated in the media. Let's get Mr. Bozell, are you on the line with me? I am on the line, Alex, how are you? Thank you, I'm good, I appreciate you guys do such good work over at the Media Research Center. When I was writing my book, Lawless Law Fair, I relied on so much, you guys,

the data y'all put together, for example, one of my favorite things that I wrote about was the Georgia litigation involving President Trump, Fani Willis, if you recall, the district attorney down in Full and County, she was running for reelection at the time, and you guys noted, like, the legacy media didn't even point out that she was a Democrat running for reelection,

“you know, and bringing these charges against the sitting Republican president, the former president.”

It was just, you know, of course, one of the best examples of hypocrisy in the media. But speaking of, compared to that, compared to every time they mentioned Rand Paul in this diary

from Fauci, always, always Republican Senator Rampel.

And one of the things, if you remember, too, during the whole Anthony Fauci taking the mic every day in 2020, was the bearing and basically blacklisting of anyone that wanted to bring up any sort of lab leak theory and the new, the media just wrote along with that. And even when after President Trump, and that was during an election campaign, just making it sound like you were wearing a tinfoil hat, if that was something you thought was plausible.

Just, you know, we're going full circle here, unfortunately having to revisit that pandemic year and era. But I wanted to play actually a cut for you. It's cut 22. It doesn't look like some of this mainstream media is even wanting to talk about Fauci anymore.

“I think we need to have transparency around what's going on.”

I think one situation that frankly where we saw the government was certainly off-the-skating didn't have any transparency was Anthony Fauci, who we're getting, and everybody on the side were here. He was here yesterday on the side. That's actually something where we don't know. We're sitting here talking about Americans who were killed in theater, as a result of a war. We are not going to pivot to Anthony Fauci's priorities.

Yeah, we're not going to pivot. What do you mean? Is this what you're seeing across the different legacy media? I recognize that barking anywhere, and that has to be Abbey Phillips. So if there's barking and there's cackling, it's definitely Abbey Phillips. No, it's um, I woke up this morning, I was starting to wonder, what is the worst media blackout of the year? I thought it was going to be Nick Shirley's exposays on fraud and Minnesota, Ohio, et cetera. It is a fancy thing.

Might take the cake now. There's been one mention of this thing on CBS evening, there's briefly about 20 seconds worth. Tell a moody of all things, had a little bit of a brief mention of it. But in terms of the morning shows yesterday, the morning shows this morning. The evening shows

on broadcast, most of cable, I mean, certainly CNN and MSNBC, you basically heard Abbey Declare,

they were not going to talk about it. It has been a total blackout of this guy. I mean, the most quiz, the most consequential, I mean, I hesitate to call a public servant, bureaucrat. The most consequential bureaucrat in this country's history, making some of the most consequential decisions where at least a minimum recommendations in this country's history, and then his diary reveals that it was all BS and that he didn't really believe what he was recommending. That's not a story,

that's not major, national news. This is why there's a country, Alex, we're watching two different movies at the same time. I say all the time. When Obama used to make a speech, one network didn't like it, and the other network thought it gave him a thrill up there. But at least we were watching the same speech. Now we're in a situation when you talk about Nick Shirley and Fauci Diaries potential success in Iran or some of the decent things, the good things the president Trump is doing.

Pick any issue. One side of the ecosystem is going to cover it and the other side is going to ignore it. And this is having grown up in Washington since I was two years old. This man

irreplaceable, and that he and only he can and should be making public policy determinations, which is why if you remember Alex the clip of him and Mayor Bowser back in front of the front porch years ago, in which he said Republicans don't like to be told what to do. We have to break that. Just replace the word "do" and replace the word "do" with the word "think". And I think the media is all about, right? The media believes that they and only they should be telling the

“American public what to think and we have to break the American public. That's why they get along”

so much. Yeah, it's very loud. Right, they're having dinners, paytapper, and Fauci having dinners, and dinners, and Fauci texting back and forth, and how they don't mind that Fauci supplying network with questions to take down a member of the administration. It's all because of this elitist attitude that they and only they should be making the public policy determinations. One of the other things that, you know, just working in the media, you noticed a lot. They

love to pay the legacy media, loves to pay attention to infighting in the Trump White House. It seems

to be that was like always, you know, front page or top line coverage. And in these Fauci

diaries that we're getting that I've just taken over the internet and social media, there was one part where he was talking about Alyssa Ferra was an ally to him. Basically telling

“him how that he's being, I guess, at the time I think it was sideline within the White House,”

so I'm trying to keep him away from the cameras, I guess, because that's he liked to be in front of the camera more than he liked to be behind the desk or doing his job at getting more information, which maybe that was a good thing. I have no idea either way it was bad. But why, you know, why the view isn't she a member of the view? Shouldn't they want to hop on that, the infighting in the White House and point that out? That seems to be that falling on deaf ears when it was all

they could, you know, soak up in the first, go around. Yeah, they're, they're, I don't believe unless, unless tomorrow's hearing with, with led by Senator Paul, goes sideways for Fauci in that he incriminates himself, postpartum, essentially, because he doesn't, he won't necessarily enjoy part in privileges. But if you, unless it goes sideways, the, the, the black out will continue and they will continue to just be telling me with him, because, I mean, you know, there's nothing

a member of the, of the, of the leadist, Washington media looms more than a top paid bureaucrat and, and he was the top paid bureaucrat in Tampa. And so, like, they, they sort of walk in a lot, lockstep with one another. So they're going to, they're going to protect him and by, and protect

him, you know, the way they do that is just not talk about it, as if it just never happened,

“as if he was just never wrong, as if he wasn't obsessed with himself. And so, that's how I”

think this story is going to continue to unfold, unfold, unless, you know, unless he starts growing them under the bus, or incriminates himself in some really grievous way, that he wouldn't enjoy porn and protection. I would expect an idiot black out of the fancy diaries to continue. Yeah, I think I had Jonathan Vahey on earlier, and he said the only really way around this preemptive pardon might be if he were to purge or himself in conflict of since he'll be under

oath of something he said previously under oath. But, you know, I think that would even be tested. I think he would try to write in on in court with that preemptive pardon. And the Supreme Court has held, I think it was like, I forget I have it written down somewhere the case previously like, 100 years ago or so. There was a pardon case that came before the court, and they said how it was basically an absolute, the pardon power was absolute and broad. So, you know, that kind of

gives me doubt that they would go so far as, I think it was 1866, that was the year to, you know,

do anything with Fauci. But I do want to go on to another topic that just is never

going away because the midterms and what we're seeing, the Democratic Party turn into, and that's the party of socialism it appears. President Trump was in Michigan, a battleground state, and with one of these socialist candidates, else I used running in the Democratic Senate primary. He was giving a speech out there, President Trump was, and he referenced socialism. I want to play

including even World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor or 9/11. I mean, this is a serious threat,

“because they're going to give promise all sorts of things. In one year, the country will be absolutely”

bankrupt. You'll live in squalor, you'll live in fear, you won't have police, you won't have firemen, you won't have anybody. You're going to be, it's a disaster. Our excellent producer here pointed out to me that Mediite had a story on this, saying it was crazy to compare communism to World War I, World War II, you know, what's your take? You give me your media critique on this. You shouldn't be hearing about the dangers of socialism more than we are. Well, I'll say proof

President Trump correct just last night in the debate. In the Michigan Senate's Oriental debate, in which he said that, and I don't know if this is accurate, but let's just go with this. He claimed

that there's a $700 billion in medical debt that the country carries with it, $700 billion in medical debt.

And he promised, if you elect me, I'm just going to wipe that off the books. Yeah, I remember hearing that clip. Right, so, so, you know, when President Trump says they'll promise all sorts of things. As if, you know, he's running for like a six-grade student council election promising McDonald's for lunch every day. Yeah. And in a policy nice Medicare for all, all of it seems like the Bernie Sanders wishlist. It's juvenile hell. Some of these, I mean, you can't even call policy prescriptions. It's just juvenile promises.

You can't just snap your fingers and wipe away billions of dollars worth of debt. Okay, so what do you do with that? As a member of the media, you've got to, you've got to cover that critically. Right, hey, you're going to pull that off, sir.

We're going to get the $700 billion. Hey, you know, walk us through the economics of that.

Sounds like a great idea. If it's free for me, hallelujah. But hey, you're going to pull that off.

“Whatever after how go ahead. Yeah, that's what's true. Or the number you need to do.”

Well, exactly. Back up your numbers. Back up your math. Your math doesn't seem to be mapping. Yeah. Yeah. How does, how does this work? And so, you know, these are basic journalism principles and tactics and things that you're taught in Jay School. You got to press people in power or people who want power to show their work. And they don't do that if Democrats. And they're certainly not doing that with this socialist crack. Well, I mean, they're just, if they had about

my dummy, you know, wouldn't have enjoyed the glide path that you did. Well, speaking of, you know, that was one of the things you talk about economics of it. And journalists, they aren't, you know, I went to Jay School. We are not really taught numbers. But you do know to go to an economist and ask, "Pose these questions and get answers." And one of the things that isn't happening aside from the whole promise from an LCE about medical debt and Medicare for all and trying to crunch that,

how that would play out is you reference Madame Donny and his government run grocery stores. That was a topic I kind of started in the show previously. He did a press conference yesterday on that.

“And there's very little critique of how much that would actually cost. I think one operating alone”

would be like a 4 million city subsidy. You know, you don't hear media really doing anything with that.

Let's play real quick. Cut 11. Here's how it will work. Once a month, our 5 city run grocery stores will set prices for this course set of goods at 30% below typical retail prices. No exceptions, no gimmicks. The savings will last for the entire month. All right. I have a little under a minute. You know, how does the media stay silent on something like this? Especially since we had a daily wire reporter, Brecca Stoll, who, you know, of course is covering this for the conservative outlets

are paying attention to this. But our legacy media know, I have about 30 seconds. Tell me why, you know, how are they not even referencing history where this has been tried and entailed? Well, I mean, look, I could, I could fake the audience to say they want Mandami to succeed. But the real reason is they just want Republicans to fail and they don't, and they, so there's just not going to question the Democrat or the socialist and anything they want to accomplish.

And even if when Mandami does fail with this, they just won't cover the failure. So it will be as if it doesn't happen. There really is no good answer as to the why. Other than they just, they're, they're both of this elitist stream of consciousness where they themselves believe that they should tell the country how, how to think. And Mandami, it should be should be allowed to tell his city what to do. Yeah. Because they just have this, this, this,

they just think most Americans, certainly Republicans, are this great unwashed, not to be paid

if I'd to play Amriture Psychologist, I think that's it. I think you, I think you hit the nail

“on the head when you said elitism is the problem. I mean, it's pervasive in the press and”

it throughout the Democratic Party and especially with these quote unquote working class candidates that are all PhDs and Ivy League grads. So no, you know, hypocrisy short there. This is Alex Woer, editor at large at Washington Times sitting in for Chris Atlanta. Stay tuned. We'll be right back after this quick break. I actually think that we could eliminate all the medical that in this

country, $225 billion. Just so you understand what that is. That is the amount of the GDP of

more than half of US states in this country. Good morning, Alex Woer, editor at large at the Washington Times in for my mentor and good friend Chris Atlanta who is on vacation still hoping he is soaking up some sun and some fun. But we are taking all kinds of questions and calls on this whole Fauci situation. I'm asking people what's going to happen. I had a Jonathan Fahi on earlier, legal expert about the blanket

pardon Fauci got. If there's any way around it with his testimony coming up tomorrow on Capitol

“Hill. But I believe we have a caller who might have some commentary on the whole COVID issue and”

what Fauci is facing. Let's take Alan and Chicago. Good morning. Good morning, Alan. Hey, I'm issue last night, you were not on TV. I know, I'll be there tonight. We will I'm returning the rest of the week. COVID, you know, Fauci is a villain. There were a lot of villains, Birch was a villain. There were quite a number. The biggest villain was the American people. I talked to John Hall who was the person I believe in Chicago and Douglas Radio 200 times over a year

and a half, I did research. The Center for Disease Statistics of the FDA gave weekly data about who was dying. We learned early on that 80, 90% of those who died were 55 and older and had four

“co-mortivities or more. The Fineburg School here in Chicago, Northwestern University, went into nine”

zip codes in the city of Chicago and found that the infection rate was seven times higher than the official number. It was 20% not three percent. There were interviews with the authors of the great bearing to doctoration. There were interviews with Peter McCuller. There were interviews with Harvey Rich. There were interviews with experts all over the place. He just had to look for them. You know, it's like people now listening to the argument about affordability. Hey, 80% of the

inflation was under the Biden administration. Okay, so folks, you know, get a paper, go on the internet,

read, learn something. You know, I always refer to, um, uh, to, um, I've got a chemical name. They also

in the 1980s, um, uh, who wrote the democracy in America. Yeah, we're coming. We have, we have to inform ourselves. We do. We need to inform ourselves. We're coming up on a hard break. So I really appreciate Alan in Chicago, um, but yes, affordability also a keyword. Thankfully, we need to hold Fauci accountable for the affordability issue that he caused during COVID when everybody had to shut down. I know there's a lot of people that want to have some questions and answers there. Stay tuned.
