This week on The Necessary Conversation, Chad, Haley, and Mary Lou discuss week 23 of Trump's illegal war with Iran, and the possibility that it could be the beginning of World War 3.
Anthony Fauci faced the Senate and answered with the Fifth Amendment—111 times. John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller unpack the “explosive non-testimony,” the legacy Fauci and Francis Collins left behind, and how federal research funding helped create a market for fetal tissue obtained from abortion providers. They revisit Sen. Joni Ernst's questions about fetal-tissue research, David Daleiden's Planned Parenthood investigations, and why so many Americans now see medicine through a political lens. Then, in Stories from the Sidewalk, Linda Teliha shares what happens when a pregnant young woman arrives at Planned Parenthood with a car full of friends, why the quiet friend may matter most, and how one flower, one honest conversation, and one person willing to say “I'll help you” can change everything.

Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where Rand Paul and other Republicans were trying to trap him into statements they could use against him. The hearing was a political witch hunt and going on six years now.There is a broader anti-science movement in conservative politics, including opposition to gender-affirming care, abortion rights, vaccines, and public health guidance. There is also misinformation, snake-oil products, and claims made by social media influencers and some television ads that are more about profit over health of people.Trump's Religious Liberty Commission was sued for lack of diversity. Contrary to federal law, the commission was dominated by conservative Christians and evangelicals, with no representation from other faiths and atheists. The court dismissed the case by redefining what is meant by diversity.We look at the backlash to progressive and Democratic Socialist wins in some Democratic primaries recently. We hear examples of the criticism from establishment Democrats and media figures, and we argue that voters chose these candidates directly. We say the panic over the DSA is overstated and that Democrats should focus more on fighting Trump and less on attacking progressives.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us Fan MailSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon
Dr. Anthony Fauci faced intense questioning during a Senate oversight hearing as Senator Josh Hawley pressed him on controversial issues surrounding his pandemic-era decisions, public statements, and past testimony. The exchange drew attention after Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment rights, sparking a heated debate over accountability, transparency, and what answers the public deserves.
Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they discuss the insane Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) agenda, Dr. Anthony Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid questions about his handling of the Covid pandemic, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani publishing the names and addresses of "rich" people he plans to tax, and the trans community getting furious over donuts.First, they applaud Shannon Bream of the Fox News Channel for getting DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer to admit the group really wants to abolish the U.S. Senate, radically change the presidency and the U.S. Supreme Court, abolish ICE, abolish borders, abolish prisons, and more. Jim and Greg point out that some of those are mainstream positions for Democrats and others are not far away. They also welcome polling that shows socialism deeply unpopular with independents.Next, they discuss Dr. Fauci refusing to testify before Sen. Rand Paul and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, now that he's not covered by President Biden's pardon. Jim explains why this is a really bad look for Fauci and shows how the left is trying to defend Fauci in some ways while distancing itself in others. Greg notes the stunning lack of mainstream media interest in the Fauci diaries.Then, they fume over Mayor Mamdani's decision to release a database listing the names and addresses of everyone his administration sees as eligible for his new "pied-à-terre" tax aimed at owners of second homes above a certain value in the city. Jim explains how reckless this is and why aggressive pushback is needed now.Finally, they shake their heads as the Tim Horton's chain takes heat from what's now being called the 2SLGBTQ+ community because Tim Horton's plans to create Harry Potter-themed treats next month.Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet 15% off OneSkin Summer Bundles with promo code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3mlQuoMoney is on the line.

Dr. Anthony Fauci was finally back before the Senate today.But instead of answering the committee's questions, he invoked the Fifth Amendment again—and again—and again.Senator Rand Paul attempted to question Fauci about COVID's origins, research conducted in China and federal funding connected to controversial virus research.Fauci's answer remained essentially the same:On the advice of his attorneys, he refused to answer.Then Paul issued a stunning warning:“There will be repercussions.”But the hearing became even more explosive when one of Fauci's attorneys attempted to intervene without being recognized. Paul repeatedly ordered him to stop—and ultimately called Capitol Police to remove him from the room.This was one of the most extraordinary Senate hearings I have witnessed.Why would Fauci invoke the Fifth despite receiving a federal pardon from President Biden? What questions did he refuse to answer? And what could Congress do next?For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/

Former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci faced an intense Senate hearing this week, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times during questioning on the COVID-19 pandemic. With Dr. Fauci now facing a potential contempt of Congress resolution, FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins The Rundown to recap the hearing, and explain why President Trump may withdraw Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General. Later, Director of the FOX News Decision Desk Arnon Mishkin explains why Texas Democratic Senate Candidate James Talarico is currently leading Ken Paxton in the polls, and whether he stands a chance of realizing the Democratic party's decades-long campaign to turn the lone star state blue.

It's 903 days until the legally defined end of the 47th Presidency, but the merit of upcoming elections becomes more suspect as time goes on. In the meantime, the Canadian returns and threatens another studio bottle, like we'd be scared of that. Next week is a brunchcast because a cool thing is happening on Friday, sorry. Also, Congress runs a Trump-level kangaroo court on Fauci because they've run out of ideas.

The episode opens with a discussion of reports and images from Spain showing large numbers of migrants entering the country from Morocco. Sen. Cruz argues that Europe is facing the consequences of immigration policies similar to those previously debated in the United States, while Ben Ferguson compares the situation to past scenes at the U.S. southern border. The conversation then shifts to Anthony Fauci’s congressional appearance, where he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights rather than answer questions from lawmakers.

On today's CTI, Andy & DJ discuss the online backlash after Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment as conservatives reignited debate over COVID-19 lockdown policies, the White House criticizing Spain after a surge of migrants from Morocco reportedly strained border resources, and a bizarre scene at a WNBA game where the wife of a Seattle Storm co-owner allegedly berated young girls carrying signs supporting Sophie Cunningham and women's sports.
Savage sits down with author Jeff Rovin for a wide-ranging discussion on some of today's most contentious political issues. They examine the Senate hearings involving Anthony Fauci, discussing his repeated invocation of the Fifth Amendment, the departure of his legal counsel, and the true purpose of the hearings. The conversation then turns to Iran, where Savage and Rovin argue that lasting peace depends on the fall of the current regime. They discuss Iran's nuclear ambitions, the government's internal repression, and the possibility of future political upheaval. They then discuss NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's proposed pied-à-terre tax and the idea of a public database of property owners, arguing these policies could discourage investment, fuel political division, and accelerate the city's economic decline. They conclude by debating work ethic, generational attitudes toward employment, and the challenges of housing affordability in America.
Guest host Garland Nixon and epidemiologist Nicholas Hulscher discuss Anthony Fauci's appearance before a GOP-led Senate hearing, where Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment instead of answering questions about his actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The two argue that because Fauci received a presidential pardon for federal offenses, his repeated invocation of the Fifth Amendment was legally questionable and reflected an effort to avoid public scrutiny rather than criminal liability. The pair also criticize Fauci's handling of the pandemic, including his support for vaccine mandates, alleged suppression of alternative treatments, and his response to congressional oversight. Throughout the segment, the hosts frame the hearing as exposing unanswered questions about pandemic-era decision-making while calling for greater transparency and accountability. Plus segments on Megyn Kelly claiming she made Ben Shapiro's career, unhinged Zionists calling for all out war on Iran and the shady Israeli company selling surveillance vans to American police forces. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Derrick Broze!

President Trump says two developments over the past 24 hours prove why accountability and national security remain at the center of his agenda. First, Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared before Congress in a highly anticipated public hearing that quickly turned confrontational. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly while facing questions about his presidential pardon, his private journals, and his handling of the COVID pandemic. Senators sharply criticized his refusal to answer, with several arguing that the American people deserve transparency after years of lockdowns, mandates, and conflicting public health guidance.The hearing grew even more intense as lawmakers accused Fauci of using federal employees and government resources to help secure grants that generated millions of dollars while he served in public office. Senator Rand Paul announced he is moving forward with a referral to the Department of Justice and plans to pursue contempt proceedings, arguing that Fauci should not be able to avoid answering questions after receiving immunity. The hearing marked one of Fauci's toughest appearances before Congress and is expected to fuel further investigations.Sponsor:My PillowWww.MyPillow.com/johnSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Dr. Anthony Fauci's dramatic Senate testimony—and repeated invocations of the Fifth Amendment—have reignited the COVID debate. Richard Syrett welcomes physician and researcher Dr. Michael Schwartz to examine the newly released Fauci Diaries, compare them with frontline clinical data, and ask whether history is finally catching up with questions first raised years ago. GUEST: Dr. Michael J. Schwartz is founder and CEO of Medisure and was among the first physicians in New Jersey to oversee large-scale COVID-19 testing, helping collect real-world clinical data from more than 44,000 diagnostic tests during the pandemic. Author of Fauci's Fiction, he has argued since 2023 that many of the controversies now dominating Senate hearings—including testing, natural immunity, public messaging, and scientific transparency—were evident in frontline data as early as 2020. His unique perspective bridges medicine, data analysis, and public policy at one of the most consequential moments in modern public health.

Dr. Fauci's preemptive pardon shields him from federal charges – but states can still launch their own investigations. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on July 29, declining to answer Sen. Rand Paul's questions about COVID-19, gain of function research, and Fauci's diary entries about the pandemic's origins. Within hours of Fauci's (lack of) testimony, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a state investigation – and soon more states may launch investigations of their own. Michael Gates, candidate for California Attorney General, joins to discuss whether a state AG could pursue Fauci, and the medical watchdog organization calling on the American Medical Association to “explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors.” Investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel of The Dossier argues Deborah Birx should face the same committees as Dr. Fauci, since she holds no pardon. Townhall News Editor Jeff Charles weighs in on Gavin Newsom's resurfaced affair and how it could affect the election, and Zohran Mamdani publishing NYC property-owner data tied to a proposed pied-a-terre tax. Jordan Schachtel is an investigative journalist and the publisher of The Dossier, covering institutional accountability and public health policy.

Todd examines Anthony Fauci's appearance before a Senate committee and his decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment when questioned about the government's COVID-era response. He contrasts that silence with Fauci's earlier public willingness to testify and with diary entries Todd says reveal a larger behind-the-scenes role in school, restaurant, and business closures. The episode explores how Fauci's broad preemptive pardon from President Biden may interact with the Supreme Court's immunity doctrine, including whether protected testimony can still be compelled and whether perjury or contempt would remain prosecutable. Todd also raises questions about the pardon's reported use of an autopen and the accountability of unelected officials who exercised sweeping influence during the pandemic. In the final segment, he turns to WNBA player Sophie Cunningham's defense of female sports and discusses allegations that a Seattle Storm co-owner confronted teenage fans holding a supportive sign. Across both stories, Todd argues that institutions must answer for coercion, protect open dissent, and respect constitutional limits and common sense.
As the face of America's COVID-19 response, Anthony Fauci was a nearly constant presence in American life throughout the pandemic. To some, he was revered, reaching a sort of celebrity status. But to a movement on the American right, he eventually became a villain, accused not simply of mishandling the pandemic, but of misleading the public about its origins, and even bearing some responsibility for COVID-19 itself.This week, Fauci testified before the U.S. Senate's Homeland Security Committee, to answer for his response to the pandemic. But the proceedings took a strange turn, as he refused to answer questions, repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment. Daniel Engber is a senior editor at The Atlantic who co-wrote the piece, "What Anthony Fauci Didn't Say." He joins us to talk about why some Americans were so eager to put Anthony Fauci on trial.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
Darrell Castle talks about the testimony or better said, the refusal to give testimony, of Doctor Anthony Fauci before the Senate Committee headed by Senator Rand Paul. Transcription / Notes THE SCIENCE TAKES THE 5TH Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 31st day of July in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about the testimony or better said, the refusal to give testimony, of Doctor Anthony Fauci who was the Director of the National Institute of Health Division of Allergy and Infectious Disease for about 30 years especially during the COVID years. He finished his medical residency in the 1960's and has been a government bureaucrat since then. Yes, Dr. Fauci who famously remarked when told that we should follow or stick to the science said, “I am the science.” For years it seems Senator Rand Paul had been trying to get Dr. Fauci to testify before his Senate committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs but the science steadfastly refused. Finally, Senator Paul was able to persuade the members to issue a subpoena and that compelled the science to show up at the hearing with his team of lawyers. Senator Paul had to have his lead attorney escorted out of the hearing by security because he was disruptive and acting like his narcissistic client. President Biden issued or rather his autopen issued a pardon to Fauci for any crimes he may have committed during the last 10 years. In other words, a preemptive pardon in case some charging agency decided to indict him for oh say mass murder. The committee obviously knows he can't be charged for the crimes he may have committed so what was the purpose of the subpoena. The purpose was to put him in a position to do one of two things but he was unwilling to do either. Either he would admit to some of the most horrible crimes in American history none of which could bring prosecution, or he would lie about them under oath which would constitute the crime of perjury and that is a new crime for which he has not been pardoned. Here's the opening statement from the science read as part of his opening attack on Senator Paul. “Although it pains me to do so, because of the respect I have for the Legislative Branch for government, and my decades long record of cooperating with congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.” So, he told them that he would not testify or answer any questions at all. When Senator Josh Hawley got his turn to ask questions he asked him what day is today and the science simply repeated the same quote. Senator Hawley said let me be clear you have no 5th Amendment protection because you were pardoned but obviously the Senator got a little carried away because a pardon does not take away the bill of rights. It even protects those for whom it has been nothing more than toilet tissue for their years of government service. However, it is an open question as to whether a person can be compelled to give answers to questions about crimes for which he cannot be prosecuted. The real problem with all this is a class of people who know they are completely above the law and nothing they do no matter how evil can ever reach them. Apparently they view the rest of us as sheep to be sheared. When these folks look in the mirror they are very happy with what they see. Fauci was one of the highest paid government employees in history and still receives the highest pension, and he is quite aware of his untouchability. The hearing followed the release of a diary that Dr. Fauci kept personally during the COVID nightmare. Yes, this man is so incredibly egotistical that he kept a written record of his crimes. How did Rand Paul come to have possession of Fauci's private diary. He was so confident that he was untouchable he put his diary on a government server. Senator Paul released the diary to the public and social media ran with it but interestingly mainstream media did not. The diary is more than 1000 pages of private thoughts and is now a permanent record of the pandemic's entire existence. It presents this so-called expert in a very unfavorable light and I'm not surprised he didn't want to talk about it. He knows his media friends will cover for him as they always have. He comes across as one who was very aware of his growing celebrity and the adept way that he learned to play the game of Washington politics. He seemed to understand how to play President Trump and that the President didn't have the confidence to fire him. The science was preoccupied, even in dire moments for the nation, of his growing fame. There are multiple entries recorded in his own writing of his adoration pictured in the media coverage. He made note of each flattering article, for example quoting the science from his comments about a Washington Post article in May of 2020, “its not hyperbole to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable persons in the world.” Some of his proudest moments were regarding calls or meetings with adoring celebrities. Comments such as “great call” with Barbra Streisand in which he gave her advice on the mRNA vaccine. He also made note of his interactions with Julia Roberts, Steph Curry, and many others. It all concludes with his embrace of Hunter Biden at the Kennedy Center Honors night with a special note about what he thought the reaction to the photo would cause. My guess is that he did not tell Ms. Streisand that five months after he had the vaccine he had a myocardial infarction which I believe is doctor speak for heart attack. Well, that's enough about the good Dr.'s ego but what did he record of actual substance. On January 26, 2020, he wrote that epidemiological and genomic data showed the first infection occurred in early December and was unconnected to the Wuhan market. “Now we know the market was not the source it was the amplifier.” To me that is an admission that he knew the source was not natural but lab produced. That is despite the years of statements that he was certain it was of natural origin. He recorded his now famous conference call with other members of the science of virology and only two of them believed it had a natural origin and the rest thought “deliberate insertion was possible” They discussed the possibility of accidental or deliberate release by a lab as the source. He knew all that time that it was lab grown and he had financed its gain of function using your money. Doctors and scientists tell us that gain of function occurs when there is an existing virus which is harmless and usually doesn't jump from animals to humans. That virus is then combined with another in a lab creating a new virus completely. That virus is much more dangerous and much more transmissible thus it has gained in function. These horrible crimes for which normal people across the world suffered terribly were all pardoned by President Biden or were they. Whether or not the autopen was an actual pardon is an ongoing question. Hear this quote from the clemency warrant that made the pardon. “For any offenses against the United States which he may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1,2014, through the date of this pardon arising from or in any manner related to his service as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President.” The President is supposed to issue a pardon to correct what he views as an injustice and the pardon is therefore personal to him but there is no evidence that President Biden reviewed all 39 pardons he issued including several family members and the entire Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. This all raises the question of whether the pardon is Constitutionally valid. One other question I have is that if he has been pardoned why is he afraid to testify and answer simple questions. What is he afraid of but I guess nothing screams out innocence as loudly as taking the 5th. The answer I believe is that he would have to admit mass murder if he answered truthfully and the new, unpardoned crime of perjury if he lied. In conclusion, I want to give you a few words from Paul Craig Roberts. “The COVID virus was a man-made virus. The work to make the virus easily spreadable was funded by Fauci, first at a North Carolina University and then in Wuhan China. The virus was meant to be deadly, but was not, as a backup human extermination tool, a deadly “vaccine” was created and mandated by ignorant and corrupt governments and employers, including the Biden Secretary of Defense.” This information has been extensively and thoroughly documented. Books such as Soren Korsgaard's The New September 11th and Tom Woods Diary of a Psychosis come to mind as examples of extensive documentation. Finally, folks, this is a vitally important case for the future of our country. Once again from Mr. Roberts, “Clearly in our stupidity and our ignorance we are not safe. Soon there will be a second attack on us. Bill Gates gloats about it. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks. This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

IN this episode Dr. Anthony Fauci’s appearance before a Senate hearing became the focus of intense scrutiny after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights rather than answer lawmakers’ questions about COVID-era policies, decision-making, and government transparency. The hearing also featured disputes between committee members, attorneys, and witnesses, highlighting the ongoing political and public debate surrounding the pandemic response.Supporters and critics viewed the proceedings through very different lenses. Some lawmakers argued that the hearing was a necessary examination of decisions that affected schools, businesses, churches, travel, and everyday life during the pandemic. Others characterized the hearing as politically motivated and defended Fauci’s public service record. Also in this Ben discusses exchanges with senators including Rand Paul, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley, Joni Ernst, Ashley Moody, and Bernie Moreno, and the broader debate over accountability, transparency, and the long-term consequences of COVID-19 policies. They also examine reactions from President Donald Trump, media commentary defending Fauci, and continuing disagreements over school closures, distancing guidelines, vaccine messaging, and government authority during public health emergencies.Topics Covered: Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment during Senate questioning Questions from senators regarding COVID-19 policies and government decision-making Debate over school closures, distancing guidelines, and public health restrictions Discussion of transparency, accountability, and congressional oversight Reactions from President Donald Trump and members of Congress Media coverage and competing interpretations of Fauci’s legacy Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the nation's experience during COVID was quite horrendous and covering up for the Communist Chinese Wuhan lab—along with the U.S. government funding provided to it— was unacceptable. Sen Tom Cotton first raised the possibility of a lab origin. On Life, Liberty & Levin, Nicholas Wade, a former New York Times science writer who had written a long piece on the subject; as a serious writer from a liberal newspaper who was retired yet deeply concerned about the reporting, Wade's appearance on May 23, 2021, helped push the issue into the national mindset, giving him his first national platform. China has still not provided access to the relevant data. The claim that the virus jumped from bats to humans was always unconvincing. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right today and refused to answer questions before a congressional committee, citing advice from his attorneys. Sen Rand Paul denied the privilege claim, directed Fauci to answer given the existence of a broad pardon, and warned of potential action for obstructing a congressional investigation. But the situation is not clear-cut. This matter may ultimately reach the courts or Supreme Court after a contempt resolution. Afterward, the concept of reparations is preposterous and a deliberate effort by Democrats and the hardcore left to divide Americans. The Civil War ended slavery 161 years ago, that many current residents have no connection to it, and that New York fought for the Union rather than being a slave city. It's disgusting for Zohran Mamdani, a naturalized Ugandan immigrant, to lecture Americans on our history and claim New York was “very complicit,” while ignoring Uganda's own brutal history under Idi Amin. Later, the Woke Reich isolationists celebrate the president when he scales back military action and enters into negotiations with the enemy but are either silent or lash out against MAGA conservatives who support the president's military action against Iran -- carefully avoiding criticism of the president, who is calling the shots. They do this even though it is crystal clear that negotiations are not working, that the enemy has never honored any deals during its 47-year reign of terror (including recent ceasefires and the MOU), and that the regime's Islamist ideology would, in fact, result in it using nuclear weapons against us (as the president has correctly noted repeatedly). What the Woke Reich isolationists have never explained is what their approach would have been? Apart from slogans and name-calling, what would they have done? It seems they would have done nothing, meaning that the enemy would have finished developing nuclear weapons, and apparently, they're okay with that despite the enormous risk to our country and humanity generally. Furthermore, while most of them claim to support the president, obviously they oppose him having launched military operations against the Iranian regime. They are not supporting the president.

Dr. Anthony Fauci just sat in front of a Senate committee and invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times rather than answer a single question under oath about his COVID decisions. This hearing came right after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released hundreds of pages from Fauci's personal diaries. Those entries show the gap between what he told the public and what he was writing privately about masks, lockdowns, the lab-leak theory, and his own rising celebrity. Instead of explaining any of it, Fauci chose silence. Rand Paul warned there would be repercussions. Josh Hawley called him out for contempt of the American people. His attorney even got removed from the room. Regular Americans lived through the school closures, the job losses, the family separations, and the ever-changing rules that Fauci helped shape. Now the man at the center of it all won't even say what day of the week it is without pleading the Fifth. That should tell you everything about how accountable our institutions really are. Pat also covered: Saudi Arabia joins the United States in the fight against Iran. Is America's relationship with Israel finally back to normal? Is Iran winning the propaganda war against the U.S.? John Thune keeps defying the president and the American people. Does Chuck Schumer support abolishing the Senate? Do you think pleading the Fifth 111 times is the move of an innocent man? What do you make of a public health official who spent years telling us what to do, then refuses to answer questions once the diaries come out?

Dr. Anthony Fauci will face a contempt of Congress vote next weekDr. Anthony Fauci will face a contempt of Congress vote in a Senate committee next week after he invoked the Fifth Amendment in a hearing about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its origins.Kentucky Senator Rand Paul led the charge to have the now-retired infectious disease expert testify.But Fauci declined to answer dozens of questions from senators."Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion," said Fauci."Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions. Thank you."Paul told CBS News he believes Fauci could be prosecuted for not answering questions during the hearing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
