(00:00):
The jury is being seated, thejury selection going on for the Hunter Biden
gun trial, which is going tobe taking place in Delaware, and we're
keeping our eyes on it. I'mnot gonna get too crazy about the play
by play of that because Hunter Biden'sgun charge isn't going to be earth shattering
news one way or the other.But it is important because he's the son,

(00:20):
the troubled son of a current sittingUnited States president. A lot of
my talk over the last hour wasI don't I feel uncomfortable with us being
critical of the family, and thatincludes the President and Jill Biden. I
don't have to be big fans oftheirs to be somewhat understanding that you're still

(00:43):
going to want to support your son. I had some emailers email in and
say stuff like, you know,I don't like he's going to use this
as a political gain, you know, to conjure up sympathy. You really
think that's going to work. Eventhe independent voters have a sour paste in
their mouth I think of Hunter Biden, and even Democratic voters are saying,

(01:03):
yeah, you got like I reallywish the president would back off a Hunter
and like just kind of let himdo his thing and stay away from him.
But I don't know, you know, it's just it's uncomfortable for me
to tell people that they shouldn't besupporting their They shouldn't be going out of
their way to support their son whoor daughter who might have done something wrong,

(01:23):
but you know it's their kid.Who am I to say you should
or shouldn't be supportive of them?Well, the phone lines are open for
two, five, five, eight, eleven ten. Brian's on the line.
Brian, what do you think aboutthis? You remember, around the
time of the Clee Deal, conservativemovement media was staying there with the black
rapper who got locked up for doingthe same thing as Hunter buying on the

(01:45):
firearms application. Yeah, well Ilooked up that rapper. His name is
Kodak Black and he has a rapsheet going back to twenty fifteen with many
Stone who's like carjacking, on robbery, kidnapping, rape, trafficking, oxy
content And even after his sentence wascommuted in for January twenty twenty one,

(02:06):
Beginning got charged with oxy content.Okay, so the only reason he got
charged with the gun flying on thefirearms application. That's something almost no one
ever gets charged with unless it's withother more serious crimes for their previously.
Why is this happening then, Brian, Well, it's a political prosecution.
I'll stop. It's political. It'spolitical from who. It's political from who,

(02:30):
Brian, from who, from thepressure to do something to make an
example of him, show that he'snot above the law. Okay. So
with all these accusations and all ofthis information about him being connected with foreign
business leaders, especially in Ukraine,and them being in contact with him while

(02:53):
his dad was in the White Houseas a vice President and using that facade
of power to the White House toget business dealings done. Brian, that's
the stuff that really Americans, orat least Republicans would love to get Hunter
Biden on. Not a gun charge. Oh please let me say something about

(03:14):
that, because they say all thelaptop, that's what it should really be
brought into court for. But BenGolden that Matt Peeby and Michael Schollenberger to
admit material on that been altered andif it could be used for anything other
than to prove that under had apistol and some white powder. Help to
luck with that the same comer andJim and Jordan actually had anything they could

(03:36):
take into court. They would prefercharges. They would say, bring these
charges. They haven't. They gotnothing. Okay, Brian, you say
all this, and I just watcheda former sitting president and get charged for
falsifying business documents in a case thatliterally would never have been heard by anyone
ever outside of it being Donald Trumprunning for president in twenty twenty four.
So I'm happy to hear that youare listening to the show, Brian,

(04:00):
But you can't possibly tell me thatthis is some sort of politically motivated thing
by the Republicans to get Hunter introuble for a gun charge. That is
absolutely insane. But I appreciate youlistening to the show, Brian, have
a good day. Sure, Ithink it's still depending over backwards to show
that you're being fair. Well,I don't think that they're being fair.

(04:20):
This is nobody wants to see himtried for the gun charge. It's politically
motivated solely from the left to tryto protect the corruption that people are saying
swirls around him. Oh man,come on, James on phone four two,
five, five, eight eleventon,James, what do you think about
all this? Oh? Just it'sso great when Brian Grace is there,

(04:45):
which doesn't. I'm bringing up thatthis is not it's not a very often
charge crime, but it's a guncrime where they go back and look at
the application. The only the onlyreason to do that is if they already

(05:08):
committed a felony and for to arguethat this is not charged alone all the
time, tell me, if you'rea safe tu if you're a journey general,
where do you go and find thesepeople that lied about taking drugs when
they've made the application if there weren'talready other crimes. Well, and as

(05:32):
far as Hunter is concerned, thereare other crimes or there are other things
to point to that there is questionablebut questionable about this person and this there's
a significant paper trail here now thejury being seated, and what they're going
to argue about is intent, I'msure. But at the end of the

(05:53):
day, James, I'm with you. I just don't understand how anybody could
look at this and say, well, this is some somehow politically motivated,
If anything politically motivated with this particularcase, it has everything to do with
trying to look over here and notat this other thing that everybody else cares
way more about than this gun charge. And that's the only thing I can
think of as far as politics areconcerned with this case, you know what

(06:14):
I mean. Yeah, I mean, it's a week for political It would
be impossible if given a five yearindictment, that they have all this information
public information, then they didn't chargeit. That would be the only way
that Yeah, now, yeah,now, I'm with you there. Though,
if they if they have all theinformation, all the evidence, and

(06:36):
all of a sudden he gets likenothing, then we know that maybe there's
something else going on back there.But I appreciate the call, James,
thanks for listening. Day. Yeah. I don't know, man, I
don't know. I know this soundscrazy, but even with these political points
of view, not everything has tobe overtly political. Sometimes people are people

(07:01):
make mistakes, people do criminal activity. Sometimes they have to answer for it.
Again, that's a different conversation thanthe one I was having earlier,
where I was saying I felt uncomfortablewith people saying that the Biden parents,
Joe and Jill Biden, shouldn't bethere for Hunter. I don't feel comfortable
saying that it would feel a littleweirder if Joe was implicated in some way

(07:23):
to the trial. This is notthat trial. It is though, I
think pretty clear that if you area partisan person out there and you are
rooting actively, and it's different becauseHunter is not running for office, but
people were actively rooting for Trump toget convicted or for him to be acquitted.
I don't think there's that same kindof performative part of this trial where

(07:46):
people are going to be actively cheeringor you felt like, you know,
maybe the jurors there, if theywere found out, if their identity was
compromised, maybe they'd be in dangerbecause of how emotional the trial is going
to be. None of that's happeningor Hunt or Biden. That's just not
the case, especially when it's nota case that implicates his father. You

(08:07):
can't tell me that this whole thingis just done for in the sake of
fairness or going back after the Democratswith the deep Department of Justice. That's
just insane to me. It's absurd. We have the we have the paper
that he didn't do properly to givehimself charged. This is a guy who
has been They say he's not anangel, Well, yeah, of course

(08:30):
he's not. It nobody's an angel. This guy has been closer to a
devil in some ways than an angel. You think about the drug issues,
you think about the discharge from themilitary, you think about the corruption allegations,
you think about the laptop and thethings that exist on there, and
then there's this gun charge that he'sbeing tried for. It doesn't compute the

(08:50):
same way. At the same time, this guy does have kind of a
little bit of a history of somesketchy behavior. A come on, three
sixteen, you've got thoughts on it. You can get ahold of us four
two five, five eight eleven ten, four two five five eight eleven ten.
Let's get to Fauci coming up too. He talked to a congressional subcommittee.
What did he say? I'll trymy best to explain that too.

(09:13):
On news radio eleven ten KFABA.In the last five minutes or so,
the WNBA is officially announced that CaitlinClark Rookie of the Month for the first
month of the season. Even thoughthey only played like half of the month
of May, They've already played liketwelve games, which is just insane what
they've done. They don't play untilFriday, though, so we'll see if
they can get back on the righttrack, play a little bit stronger as

(09:33):
they get closer into the middle partof the season and the schedule lightens up
a little bit. We were talkingabout Hunter Biden though in the news because
today is the beginning of jury selectionin Wilmington, Delaware. Now I don't
know how big Wilmington, Delaware is, but certainly the jury pool a little
bit smaller than it would have beenfor New York City for the Donald Trump
trial. But we had a fewdifferent, you know, opinions on that,

(09:56):
from like why I feel it's strangein I'm uncomfortable with us going out
of our way to tell the familywhat they should or shouldn't be able to
do with their son. And thenof course, you know you have those
people out there like Brian who calledin and said, hey, this is
just you know, political you know, get back sies, you know,

(10:16):
like revenge if you will. Itwas like, why would the Republicans want
to charge Hunter Biden with a guncrime? I mean that just doesn't make
any sense. Well, phone linesare open for you to talk about this
if you'd like four, two,five, five, eight, eleven,
ten, And Landon is there?Landen? What are you thinking about.
Oh, I don't see how theycan say it's politically motivated. I mean,
if you lie on a federal form, you can't expect that they're not

(10:37):
going to come after you for it. Well, especially with the mastry like
this guy has, you know whatI mean. Well, and I mean
you can even look at the raidor recently in Arkansas where a man was
a hobbyist and collected old firearms andaccidentally on probably unknowingly total firearm is somebody
who wasn't supposed to have them,and they shot the dude in the head
when they were serving the warrant.Yeah, well, I will tell you

(11:00):
this. They wouldn't do that toHunter for obvious reasons. But I will
say, uh, the form itselfis kind of the pay per trail that
you need. I don't know exactlywhat. Obviously, the jury is coming
in to talk about INTENTA and probablyto help with testimony for punishment, sentencing
and all that stuff later. Butit's just kind of crazy to think that,
oh, well, it's just politicallymotivated. He didn't actually do anything.
We have the paper, we havethe sheet, like it's it's incorrectly

(11:24):
done, you know what I mean? So what are we talking about here,
right exactly. I mean, youcan't call it politically motivated if they
were going after Biden for his sonlying on a forum, like, Okay,
that's politically motivated, right, No, appreciate it, Land, and
thank you for the call. Goodpoint. Yeah, it's a good point.
You know, it's interesting. Doyou remember the percentage of you know,

(11:48):
like a little bit of a hardturn here, But this is just
part of the same discussion, Matt. You remember we had Brian in from
the Douglas County Election Commissioner's office.He's the election commissioner. Do you remember
what he said the turnout ish hewas expecting for November was that like seventy
five to eighty percent that he thought, like the first the election day of

(12:09):
November, he was going to havelike seventy five to eighty percent of registered
voters and involved in voting. I'lltrust your remember on that. I honestly
don't remember. I think I thinkit was something like that. And he
said something like thirty to thirty fivepercent of people actually he expected to vote
in the primary that we had afew weeks ago, but only twenty seven
percent of voters around the state ofNebraska ended up doing that, and then

(12:33):
Iowa's primaries are tomorrow, you know, so we'll see which is which Democrat
is going to come out of thethird district, the third congressional districts.
That's the most competitive of the fourIowa congressional districts because Paul County, where
Des Moines is located, and someof their suburbs that county is in the

(12:54):
third congressional districts. It's going tobe very close one way or the other.
None is currently in that seat,he's a Republican. We'll see if
the Democrats can come up with anotherperson. You're twenty twenty two ahead of
that election, the midterm election forthat seat and for other seats around Iowa.
You want to know what the voterturnout. I was reading this,

(13:16):
You want to know what the voterturnout was for the primaries, And I
know it's not as important for alot of people because it's Democrats are only
voting for Democratic stuff and Republicans areonly voting for Republican stuff, and people
who aren't a part of one ofthose parties probably aren't participating. But that's
like only thirty to thirty five percentof the registered voters. You want to
know what the total voter turnout wasish for each political party in Iowa in

(13:39):
twenty twenty two. I did thisresearch this morning, like twenty five percent,
seven percent for Democrats, nine percentfor Republicans, all right, of
the registered people, like the thirtyto thirty five percent of those two parties.
It's not zero, but it mightas well be. I mean,
let's be honest, why are weso overtly political with all of our opinions,

(14:01):
especially in national politics, Yet wehave nobody who seems to be that
interested in actually going out and votingin important local elections. Now, if
you're a Republican in Iowa, ZachNun's running on a posed, you don't
need to support him. But there'sother stuff on the ballot, especially for
local Iowa legislature party nomination processes,but nobody knows and nobody cares because they're

(14:26):
smaller races. But that's unfortunate becausethose people have as much, if not
more to do with your day today life living in Iowa than the president
ever is going to Sam Sick canbe said for Nebraska. Now, the
rest at least at twenty seven percentturnout for their primary, but there was
still a presidential race attached to it, right, even though we already knew
that Biden and Trump were going towin those nominations, people went and catched

(14:48):
their vote in those races because thatwas on the ballot. The Iowa people
don't have that. They did theircaucus back at the beginning of the year.
It's weird to me. I'm justit's weird that we complain about all
that stuff and we overtly politicize almostevery single thing, both sides. Yet
when it comes time to actually gettingan opportunity to exercise your civic duty to
vote, almost nobody does, atleast in the primary. Obviously, in

(15:11):
November, we're going to get abunch of people that support and we're going
to break records. But apparently that'snot how that's going to work for the
primary. And IO well, atleast doesn't appear to be. Mark's on
our phone line real quick, Mark, what's on your mind? Yeah,
I got a question as far asyou know, a hunter of filling out
the form wrong, I have acarry conceal and I probably filled the form

(15:33):
out wrong because I smoked marijuana.Going to come after me. Well,
I don't know, Mark, Areyou a convicted felon? No, Have
you had any reason for the governmentto be really angry at you in the
past? Okay, well I don'tthink. I don't think you're specifically on
their radar. But now that you'veadded yourself, if somebody comes knocking on

(15:56):
your door, don't implicate us,please, That's all. But I mean,
I just want to how many peopleout there, you know, if
something does happen, you do endup shooting someone, what's that gonna what
happens? Yeah, No, it'sa it's a it's a good question,
Mark. I think that's the kindof thing that we're going to hopefully learn
a little bit more in the trialitself as to what exactly he did wrong

(16:18):
and why that matters so much.But he's got the history, the laundry
list of things that he's been introuble with before that made this, I
think a bigger deal than it mightbe on the surface. I understand.
Thank you for your time. Yeah, thanks for calling in, Mark,
Thanks for listening to us. Wereally appreciate you for being a part of
our show today. You can callus a four h two five five eight
eleven ten, four O two fivefive eight eleven ten The doctor Fauci stuff.

(16:41):
Going to get to that, andMatt, guess what I have been
practicing my Fauci impression. You're You'rethe best I've met to this point.
I want to I want to tryit out for size. Okay, all
right, so we're gonna do thattoo. Stick around on news radio eleven
tin kfa B. Matt, doyou remember the summer of twenty twenty?
You remember kind of the things thatyou were doing at that point. I
do. I've heard this from otherpeople, and I tend to agree in

(17:03):
certain reasons. Basically, COVID untilnow just feels like one long year,
you know. So you look backthere and you're like, man, I
was four years ago, four yearsago? What happened? Yeah? Well,
I mean it does feel like alittle bit of a time warp.
But I think we can all goback and our lives changed in a lot
of ways in the way that likehow we came out of that, right,
I fell in love with a lotof different things in twenty twenty that

(17:26):
I never thought he'd be interested inmy entire life. Because I was forced
to give them a chance. Ididn't take for granted going to see live
music or just to go hang outin a public place anymore. You know.
I was just like, you knowwhat, you never know what you
have until it's taken away from you. And I'm not the kind of person
that I'm not again, I'm notthe kind of person that's going to go

(17:51):
out of his way to tell peopleI expect more of them in certain fields.
With you know, the world thatwe live in right now. You
talk about pop politicization of the overpolitizationof something like COVID nineteen, not just
from what we were told by thegovernment, but what we were being led

(18:11):
to believe we needed to do withthe social distancing and everything like that.
I'm not gonna say like I onehundred percent trusted what was coming out,
but I just didn't see what thepoint was and getting angry about it,
Like if I needed to go intothe store and buy something, I had
no problem wearing a mask for thatfifteen minutes. Okay, it was a
lot. It was a lot.More trouble is unrelated question kind of nobody

(18:36):
important is listening? How fast doyou go on the highway? Sometimes you
got a five hour drive somewhere.How fast are you trying to go?
You get on the highway, Ihonestly don't speed that much. I tend
to. I do follow the speedof traffic. You'll enter situations where it
makes sense to go a little fasterto stay with the flow. Yeah,
people are going ten to fifteen overand you almost feel like, man,

(18:56):
if I went the speed limit,I'd be causing problems more dangerous. Yeah.
So you know, I try tofind the speed of traffic, but
I'm not the fastest driver out there. I'm not gonna lie, especially on
a road trip when you're just listeningto a good book on you know,
your audio device or some good music, just kind of set that cruise and

(19:18):
just kind of enjoy yourself. SoI'm the same way. And you know
why I'm the same way because it'sa lot more trouble to me. If
I'm going eighty five, I getpulled over and now I have to pay
for a ticket, and I've beenslowed down, and I'm embarrassed, and
I'm not going to get there anyfaster because I created more problems for myself
by going fifteen over the speed limiton the interstate. Then if I would
have just been sitting at like seventytwo, a solid seventy two to seventy

(19:41):
five. You'll be like, oh, what are you doing out there?
The speed limit is seventy you cango eighty fine, nobody care. I'm
not with risking that. I haveno interest in risking that. You know
why, because I know I'm goingto get to my destination without interference from
the law enforcement and they're just doingtheir job. Right. Well, that's
how I felt about going into storesthat required face coverings in twenty twenty and

(20:04):
twenty twenty one. It was alot more trouble for me to think,
like, I don't want to dothis, so I'm not going to either
go to those stores or I'm notgoing to you know, patronize places that
are forcing face coverings. Everybody elsehas a right to do what they want,
but it just didn't make sense forme. I was like, you
know what, nobody knows exactly what'sgoing on here. And I was lucky
enough to live in Iowa at thetime, which you know, the Nebraska

(20:27):
pretty relax on that, Like,I don't know, I'm guessing I wohaen.
Nebraska weren't that different, but Iowapretty notably didn't really ever shut everything
down at any one point. Stuffstayed open and they tried their best to
keep the economy moving. And Iwas going to go shop at the source.

(20:47):
I needed a shop after the stuff. I bought a house in the
summer of twenty twenty for for goodnesssake. You know how much buying of
stuff you realize you need to dowhen you get your own house. You're
like, man, I need aladder now, Man, I need to
get some of that stuff that youfor the insects. I need to make
sure that I have the right stufffor my lawn. I don't have any
of this stuff. I needed tobuy a mower. I'm in the store,

(21:07):
I'm talking to people all the time, right, And if I need
to wear a face covering to dothat and to be happy like with my
purchase, I'm gonna do That's itreally isn't topic a deal to me.
At the same time, though,I do want to know where we got
all this information, and enter doctorAnthony Fauci, who was giving us the
information, giving us information during thisentire thing, and for the first few

(21:32):
months he was kind of a calmingpresence. I thought, and We'll just
shut everything down for a couple ofweeks and we'll be fine, Right,
That's what we were being told.I mean, you got to remember,
this guy had been serving the WhiteHouse from his position since the Reagan administration.
That's a while back. I meanhe had been in office. And
I say in office. He wasn'telected. He was appointed to his position

(21:52):
as the director of the National Instituteof Allergy and Infectious Diseases, not something
that you generally are going to seeput on a business card. If you
found a guy like Fauci, youmet them and they talked about how important
they were, and they handed youa business card, would you be impressed?
Would you be like, Wow,this guy's a big dealer. Would
you be like, what a weirdthing to be the director of? Well,

(22:15):
all of a sudden, he's thrustit into the limelight after thirty five
years on the job and almost nobodyunderstanding who he is or what is like
what his job is. But nowhe's the guy. Donald Trump is saying,
this is the guy. Joe Biden. Obviously he kept being the guy
until he retired at the end oftwenty twenty two. My you know,

(22:36):
as you heard more and more.Though you were like, wait a second,
that's different than what you were sayingbefore. Why are you telling me
what I can and can't do orshould or shouldn't do in my home?
What is this social distancing six feetthing? Like? What's that all about?
Where did that information come from?What exactly was this thing with the
vaccines and why was it being pusheddown our throat so much when it wasn't

(23:00):
properly given time to be tested.Lots and lots of this stuff very questionable.
Well, he had some answers tothat while being questioned today by the
House Oversight Select Subcommittee on the coronaviruspandemic. And there were some things in
here where they were certainly very interesting. We will talk about them and take
your thoughts on it, so stickaround. You can call us a four

(23:21):
h two five to five, eighteleven ten News Radio eleven ten kfab Anthony
Fauci our old friend. Yep,indeed, don't take that literally. Every
time I say our friend, it'ssarcastic. Most of the time it's theirical.
I'm not friends with these people.I'm not friends with them. I'm
I'm as close to being a friendof doctor Anthony Fauci's I am of the
cookie monster, and the cookie monsteris a puppet. You know what I

(23:42):
mean? Like, what do weI don't look, it's just a figure
of speech. But anyway, hetestified today about the origins or what he
knows of the origins of COVID nineteenand some of the rules in information that
we were told as an American public. We'll get to some of that in
a second. But the phone linefor A two eight eleven ten. We
have Dale there. Dale, welcometo the show. What do you think

(24:04):
about this? Well, what Ithink about this? I remember when doctor
TAUGHTU was in a court and therewas the lady who was typing up what
was being said, and she coughed, and he said that he should be
wearing a mast. So this isway after COHD was over. I knew

(24:26):
that he was a little tirant.I knew he was a tyrant way back
at the very beginning, because hesaid what I say goes and it got
so ridiculous. Even though store thatwe my groceries had that have a helphold
smile and every aisle had footprints andyou could go one way down an aisle,
even though the thing you wanted wasjust right over there, but you

(24:49):
couldn't get into it because you hadto go all the way down in her
round. Yeah, and that wastotally crazy. And that's how the world
dot was totally crazy. Had itscrewed up right, everyone's economics and it
screwed up everything. Yeah, weknow as decent Americans. No, And
I'm with you, Dale, appreciateyou calling in though. That's a good

(25:10):
perspective on that. I it Ystopianis being overused. It's just just felt
like an alternate universe, like thisis what the world would be like if
we were all germophobes. Is kindof like, isn't that kind of what
it was like? People like avoidinggoing out in public. The masking thing
that the double masking, which Ifound to be very intriguing. You know,

(25:33):
you see people with the double maskyou knew something else was going on
there. The difference in the maskingof like, uh, you know,
which masks were acceptable and which oneswere not. That kept changing as we
got more information. Yeah, Ijust felt like, if everybody was a
germophobe, what would the world belike? And that's kind of what the
summer of twenty twenty was like,I mean that entire calendar here. I

(25:56):
went to Florida because Florida at leastwas accepting people as a furve occasions,
even though it was not nearly whatit should be. And my wife and
I went to Miami first week ofNovember at twenty twenty. You want to
know what was going on in Miamithe first week of November in twenty twenty
what almost nothing? Almost like wereally we went down there, we were

(26:17):
like, we're just gonna go siton the beach, and just like we
had a great resort, we werejust going to hang out the resort.
It was in a Miami suburb.It was gonna be all this fun stuff
that we were just going to notdo really, and then Tropical Storm Ada
hit the day that we got thereand just sat basically over the state of
Florida for like five days. Soyou're going to try to find stuff on

(26:37):
the inside to do so you canget out of the rain from this stupid
tropical storm. And the most excitingthing that happened to us was I ran
into a parking lot that ended upbeing flooded because I was trying to stop
at a convenience store to get somesupplies for our room. I think we
were going to go buy some likeheart selter or something, and I a
tire exploded because I ran over somethingin the parking lot. Oh so in

(27:00):
the middle of the topical starm.You know, I had to call somebody
to help me change this tire ona car I didn't known because it was,
you know, a rental car.Yeah. Great times, great times.
But that was in Florida, whichwe were led to believe was open
for business, if you will.We had just like one really nice beach
day in that trip, I means, as nice as Miami is and as
fun as it was to be onvacation on a year that really taxed us,

(27:22):
like mentally. I mean, Itell you what, My wife and
I we've gone on several several vacationssince then. And that's that's the bottom.
That's the that's the lower rung,right. That was life in twenty
twenty, if you forgot well.People were talking about the origin here with
doctor Fauci today Capitol Hill, andin his opening statement he stressed that he

(27:45):
wasn't intending to suppress the idea thatit was a lab created virus. He
made sure, Like everybody says,why are you refuting that theory? And
he said, I wasn't. Iwasn't trying not. I was trying to
suppress this stuff. He said hewas informed through phone calls with various people

(28:06):
around the world that were in similarsituations that he is. They were concerned
about the genomic sequence of SARS covetwo SARS cove CoV two and suggested that
the virus could have been manipulated ina lap. He was also in a
conference call with about a dozen internationalvirologists, again a job. How do

(28:32):
you become a virologist? And isthat not like a super morbid thing to
be It's incredibly important, I'm sure, But man, like, what are
those people's brains like? Were theylike the storm chasers during these tornado outbreaks
where they're just kind of like superjacked up to something new happen, even
though it's like generally bad for thepeople in the world. I don't know,
it's weird. But he met witha dozen international virologists to discuss the

(28:56):
possibility versus a spillover from an animalreservoir is also possible, and that's what
he said. It was lively witharguments for both possibilities on the origin of
this, but he didn't try tosee the discussion any direction. Those are
his words. I have a quotehere. Can I try my fauci on
you? Yeah, try it up. It was decided that several participants would

(29:19):
more carefully examined a genomic sequence.After this further examination, several who were
at first concerned about lab manipulation becameconvinced that the virus was not deliberately manipulated.
They concluded that the most likely scenariowas the spillover from an animal reservoir.

(29:45):
Although they still kept an open mind, they appropriately published their opinion in
the peer reviewed literature. I hadno input into the content of the published
paper. Felt like I needed towarm up what is probably not probably not
great. I think it was.It's improving every day. All right,

(30:07):
Well, we'll see if I cankeep it up. Because there's more that
he said that's interesting, but basicallymoral of the story. He says,
I was quoting peer reviewed literature frompeople that are contemporaries in this field from
around the world. Wasn't politically motivated? Okay, Well, what exactly did
happen? And I guess the studiesin that peer reviewed literature from twenty twenty

(30:30):
or still what he is citing hereas well. As we go on,
he also not only answers for theorigins of COVID nineteen, but also the
origins of some of the stuff wewere talking about with that social distancing stuff,
the six feet rule, the masking, the vaccines, some of the
highlights. I'll get to those next, and you can be a part of
