Sean Hannity returns after several days away and opens with Anthony Fauci's congressional testimony, where the former NIH director repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment despite previously saying he had nothing to hide. Sean examines newly released diary entries that he argues reveal Fauci's focus on media attention and public image during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hour also revisits debates over vaccines, masking, gain-of-function research, and the origins of COVID-19, while discussing possible legal challenges involving state investigations and presidential pardons. Sean shares his own approach to covering the pandemic and reflects on the pressure he faced over vaccine messaging.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All of you for being with us.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Write down our toll free telephone number you want to
be a part of the program. It is eight hundred
ninety four when Sean, if you would.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Like to join us.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Got a lot to get into today, a lot of
catching up to do. Thank you to Jason Chaefitz and
my buddy Mark Simone and people filling in, and you know,
a lot of kind words from a lot of people
as I spoke at the National Cathedral. Perhaps that will
come up later in the program. I've got pressing issues
I've got to get to today, and not.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
The least of which is doctor No.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
One hundred and eleven times Anthony Fauci invoked the you know,
his Fifth Amendment rights. This is a guy in twenty
twenty two that said he'd answer any question that Congress
wanted to have answered.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Then, well, if I become a punching bag, I'm a
punching bag. But I am very happy to testify before
any Congressional Oversight committee. I have nothing to hide. I
have I can explain and validate everything that I've done,
so you know it's going to be inconvenient if they
actually are out there essentially threatening to make my life miserable.
(01:14):
But it's I mean, I'm going to do what I
need to do, and that is cooperate fully because we
have nothing to hide at all.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well that was, of course before they and this was
published in ram Paul's book. We I think we did
the first interview with him at the time, we you know,
and then we now we have the Fauci diaries that
have been released that are unbelievably shocking, released by Senator
ram Paul, written on a government computer using government resources,
(01:47):
documenting you know, doctor Fauci's time as the top paid
government official health official in the country and what an ego,
maniac narcissistic comes off as I mean, the ramblings of
somebody so self obsessed, so fame hungry, you know, pride
preceded the fall unbelievable. You know, for example, oh, big
(02:11):
front page article of me in the Washington Post, very flattering.
The situation with my national and international fame is explosive,
really unimaginable. Why would this be his top priority in
Americans are dying. I'm the most famous and talked about
person in the country. And he included a quote petition
(02:34):
to make me the sexiest man alive. Video games are
being named after me. Is a Fauci bobblehead, millions of
people idolizing me, Fauci wrote, you know, so giddy with excitement,
even detailing a video chat with actress Julia Roberts.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Had a wonderful Instagram discussion with Julia Roberts.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
She went on to say I was her personal he
zero and how happy she was to have this conversation
with me. Hundreds, you know, thousands of entries where Fauci
gushing about Fauci beyond weird and sick and ego maniacal
and narcissistic. It is bizarre, like any good diary. He
(03:18):
also gossips about people he doesn't like. I got a
few honorable mentions in all of this, which actually makes
me proud. Accuse me other Fox News hosts of lying
and calling us stooges, trashing me for wanting to open
up quickly, ending shutdowns quickly, getting COVID contained quickly. And
(03:42):
he detailed the meeting he attended with President Trump where
he called Sean Hannity up to schmooze about TV ratings.
But amid all of this, so many damning you know,
revelations mixed in, including real concerns about the efficacy of
these COVID vaccines, about masks. You might recall, this is
(04:05):
the same guy. My mask isn't going to work. Maybe
it'll stop a dropload or two, but it's ridiculous, and
changing that position to one mask, then two masks. His
real concerns about the efficacy of social distancing, and you know,
things that he would never tell the public. Seemed seemingly
to believe that COVID nineteen was more than likely man made.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Now we learned this and ran Paul's.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Book because Paul, I think he did the first interview
with us, said and had the conversations back and forth,
panic conversations. I believe it was late twenty nineteen into
twenty twenty, just before the complete COVID Adam Schiff show
unfolded before the nation.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I remember it was March of that year.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I was in my at the time, I was living
in New York years ago, and I was in my backyard.
I got a call from a friend of mine in
a local hospital and he worked there. He said, you
have no Sean, You've got to listen to me. You
have no idea how bad this is, he goes. We
have in the hospital right now, we have no beds available.
(05:14):
We have people in the halls of every floor we have.
We have people that are dying before our eyes. We
have nothing that we can offer them as help. They're
they're in the waiting room, out the door, down the hall,
down the street, for crying out loud, and there's nothing
we can do. I remember I got on the phone
(05:34):
immediately with the President. I called the White House. I
got him and I explained the situation as I was
hearing it on the ground. But he was already aware
of it, to be very honest, and they had everything
in place.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Now. The President, like me, is not a doctor. You know.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The worst part of ram Paul's book, you know, leading
up to these revelations of this this insane diary, is
that they were very well aware that the NIH had
monies that they gave to the Eco Health Alliance, and
they knew that the Eco Health Alliance was funding the
(06:14):
Wuhan Virology Lab. They knew at that lab that coronavirus
research was taking place, and they knew gain of function
research took place. I remember quoting at the time Fauci
saying in twenty twelve, something to the effect that even
if it caused a worldwide pandemic, he would support the
gain of function research. I mean, he answered zero questions.
(06:38):
He has the protection of a presidential pardon, and he
does face legal He does face a lot of legal challenges.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Number one, there is issue, although it's I think the
majority of the opinion, the established view would be would
be very hard even though you have, you know, gotten
a pardon. In terms of that, you usually would give
up your right to plead. The fifth, the more interesting
(07:09):
challenge might be whether or not Biden used the auto
pen or made the decision himself or somebody else made
the decision for him. There is no defense for this
legacy of mistakes, no defense for this ego mania, no
defense for the pressure campaign. I've explained many times on
this program, the amount of pressure that was brought to
(07:29):
bear on yours truly to tell you, my audience, what
you should do, and that you should give in and
take the shot.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I refuse to do it.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And I explained at the time, I said it so
often I can repeat it verbatim. Now take it seriously.
I knew because people were dying, especially older people, I said,
take it seriously. I said, you've got to make an
informed decision. Do your research, check in with your doctor,
factor in your unique medical condition, your medical history, maybe comorbidities,
(08:06):
you may have, pre existing conditions you may have, and
then make your own decision.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I am not a doctor. I was in no position
to tell people what to do.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Now, we did put on other people that had and
this was a little bit later on. Doctor George Farreid
was on the program. Doctor ty Brian Tyson was on
this program. Doctor Robert Malone, the creator of the technology
that led to the creation of the mRNA virus, and
it was very clear that this technology had not been perfected.
(08:39):
There would not have been a Pfizer or Maderna without
his technology, and he was saying very clearly that it
is not perfected. It was always experimental and saying that
at best, maybe the most vulnerable comorbidities, pre existing conditions,
and the elderly, which were more likely impacted by COVID,
(09:00):
you know, they might be, you know, be the people
and the only people that would be eligible for these
vaccines that they mandated on everybody. I will tell you
that Fauci now is just because he got a pardon.
We'll find out if it's an autopen partner not. I
think there's a challenge there legally. I know, my Free
(09:20):
state of Florida, we got a really good attorney general
appointed by Governor Rohn de Santis.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
His name is James Udmeyer.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
He's been on this program before, and he launched a
pardon proof Fauci investigation. He said about a month ago
that he was losing sleep overthinking of ways to prosecute Fauci,
and one of the options for holding Fauci accountable for
COVID crimes and again he would state lawsuits, state charges.
(09:47):
You know, whatever pardoner he got from Biden, be it
autopen or otherwise, would not be applicable here. He can
be prosecuted at the state level. His federal pardon would
not apply. And in order for that protection have a
fair chance of succeeding, it would have to be brought
in a red state because the chances of any blue
state jury rendering an objective verdict would be likely.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Slim and none.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So it looks like Florida is going to be My
free state of Florida is going to be the first
state to attempt to pardon prove prosecution of Fauci. Now,
by the way, we did put on these doctors that
very successfully were treating people with alternative solutions. Yeah, there
was a protocol. I was I got the alpha strain,
(10:33):
and there was everybody demanding that I give my status.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
You know, did I get the shot? And the answer is,
I never got the RNA shot. There's my answer. And
I don't mind telling Natina.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Once they were demanding that I say it, the media
pressure campaign, the mob, I just said, it's none of
your damn business to be very honest with you and
piss me off, and otherwise I would have or normally
been glad to have shared what happened. I did get
the alpha strain. I had already spoken to many doctors
that said, well, if you get it, it looks like
(11:05):
hydroxychloric when taken early, and this was born out through
studies post COVID, starting with a Henry Ford Hospital study
and then many others thereafter, taken early did mitigate symptoms.
I already had all my stuff on hand, Vitamin D,
vitamin C, zinc z pak, it was all there. I
got notified that I had been exposed, that I likely
(11:27):
had it, started taking it kicked everybody out of my house,
and I just said, that's it, stay away from me.
But I never missed the radio show, and I never
missed a TV show, and the only one that broke protocol.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Sweet baby, James.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You know, a couple of times he'd walk in, I said,
get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I remember screaming out of them.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And it's not usually my way of dealing with people, but
I was like, I told you, do them not come
in here. This is like in a you know, this
is a no go zone, kind of like Europe. Anyway,
so he can be held accountable. James Upmeyer, the Florida
Attorney General, announcing the state investigation on Fauci yesterday, and
(12:13):
you know, he was the chief of Stafford DeSantis, now
our attorney general. He did a great job, and he's
doing a great job, Friend of the program. His diary
enterings he knowingly overestimated COVID's death rate in public pronouncements.
You know, for example, entries from early twenty twenty now
exposed personal diaries that he privately estimated the COVID death
(12:34):
was significantly lower than what he was telling Congress, so
under oath. Only weeks later, I mean lying under oath
to Congress would normally be a crime. The stated mortality
over all of this, when you look at all the
data including China, is about three percent. It started off
at two percent, now it's three percent. He said before
the House Oversight Committee, and during the hearing just weeks
(12:57):
after the virus reached the US, Fauci said the COVID
death rate was one thousand percent higher than the seasonal flu.
I think he can count all the cases of minimally
symptomatic or asymptomatic infection that probably brings the mortality rate
down to somewhere around one percent. So he wasn't telling
Congress the truth at the time either, And we found
(13:18):
out what an egomaniac he is. You know, it's he
might face contempt of Congress vote. Remember Steve bat and
Peter Navarro both refused to testify. They were cited for contempt.
Let's see what happens here. Josh Hawley was just absolutely phenomenal.
We had him on TV last night and you were
using federal employees taxpayer dollars. Accused Fauci of illegally using
(13:41):
his staff to solicit prize money. You know, he's bragging
that he might be the sexiest man alive and may actually,
you know, have a bobblehead doll designed after him. I mean,
it's so bizarre, it's so weird, it's so narcissistic, so
ego maniacal. It's like, how did this guy ever get
in this position of power? How do you How many
(14:02):
times have I warned all of you in this audience,
don't trust the government. Look at how bad government schools are,
spend more per capita per student than any industrialized country,
the worst results. How bad was every Obamacare promise? How
bad was well? The border's closed, borders control, Joe's cognitively strong,
(14:22):
the social Security lock box been rated. I don't know
why people trust government. I never trusted them never, and
I never I never gave into the pressure, and it
was enormous at certain times. Man, And I will say,
my employers never forced me or even tried to influence
me one way or the other. And I've just got
(14:42):
to tell the audience the truth. Now we're going to
get back into We have a lot on Fauci coming
up today, a lot because I am I'm so disgusted.
You know, Let's see if he does face a contempt
of Congress charge Josh Hawley was just pretty believable. You know,
you were using federal employees taxpayer money to apply for
(15:05):
and solicit solicit cash prizes for you personally.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Prize is totally.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Over a million dollars use The number one paid federal employee,
you know, and Hally explained was nine hundred thousand dollars
cash award? Was that one of the prizes and he
got it because he used federal employees to get it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
And this wasn't even the only award, was it doctor.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Fauci, you know on advice to council one hundred and
eleven times, but staff employees on a federal dime during
a pandemic, being paid with federal dollars, soliciting cash for him.
Bauci wanted the money we want to get to Yes,
he wants it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That's his chief of staff again, using federal email to
pressure you know, others that he could get rich on
top of everything else. And then love being a star,
Love being a star, very sick, very critical to me.
But I take that it's kind of like Marco Rubo.
It was told by a senator and a hearing. I'm sorry,
(16:08):
I voted for you. I take that as a great compliment.
Fauci criticizing me, I take as a great compliment. He
revealed in his diary that he enlisted Barack Obama's help
to beat back bad publicity in terms of the beagle
torture experiments that he funded. You know, he used six
(16:29):
month old beagle puppies who had their vocal cords cut
out to prevent them from barking. They were then infested
with ticks and sedated and placed in cages with infectious
sandflies and a lab in Tunisia. Anyway, the former National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases doctor Fauci enlisted the
(16:51):
help of the media, friends and former President Obama to
beat back allegations in twenty one that his agency funded
painful experiments for dogs on puppies were later euthanized, all
of them, according to records by released by Senator Ram Paul.
You know, they approved the three hundred and seventy five
thousand dollars grant to fund these gruesome experiments. Senator Jony Ernst,
(17:17):
I don't understand that at least five different you know,
funded tests on dogs, including puppies as young as six
months old are planned. This drug will involve invasive, painful,
potentially deadly procedures. And I mean, it just shows you
how nuts this guy is. Senator Ted Cruz demanding in
(17:37):
the Fauci face jail time, labeling him America's most damaging bureaucrat.
I don't I just don't think there was any anybody
more damaging. You know, him invoking the Fifth Amendment really
when he said in twenty twenty two, oh, he'd never
do that, you know, he had his own lawyer tossed
out of the hearing by Senator Ram Paul. You know, Congressman,
(18:00):
I'm sorry, Senator Moreno, you know, what the f do
you think you are just letting him have it? Paul
announces contempt vote, which is good, that's gonna take take place,
and Senator Paul questioning whether Fauci's invoking the fifth was
even valid after the Biden pardon. Hopefully that can be
(18:21):
tested in the courts, you know, as it relates to
the autopen pardon that is, you know, unquestionable legal ground.
Then of course I mentioned Florida, my free state. James Upmeyer,
our attorney general here in the Free State of Florida.
He's a great attorney general. I have a lot of
confidence in him. But the documents unveil Fauci's thoughts on
(18:43):
the lab leak debate and mask doubts and testing failure
which we were already chronicled on this program, and we
told everything we told you was true. And to think,
you know, of all the pressure being brought to bear
and all the criticism of the likes of me and
others behind the scenes. Fetterman revealed his one regret from COVID,
(19:05):
and he told the Fox News digitally stayed quiet because
the idea was dismissed as a right wing fringe theory.
He said his one regret from COVID was that, you know,
he said his greatest regrets was not speaking up more forcefully.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Well, I mean a lot of people when the government
tells people.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
This is why I tell you all the time, my
beloved audience here, you know, I tell you, do not
count on the government. Don't you can't trust them. That's
the bottom line, as evidenced by you. Their failed schools.
The lock box rated social Security headed towards insolvency. Medicare
(19:44):
towards insolvency. You know, you know, look at the you know,
what are they doing. They've opened borders, but the borders
are closed, the borders are secure. Lie, Joe Biden is
cognitively so strong. I have a hard time keeping up
with them. Peppermin Patty, you know, circle back Jensaki saying,
you know, look at what we're up against in ninety
(20:06):
seven days. All these candidates eliminate the US Senate, you know,
eliminate you know, who chooses the president, and get rid
of getting rid of judges, Amnesty for illegals, open borders,
abolish ice.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
They're saying it.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
You know, this is what came out this week on
Fox News Sunday when you had one of the co
chairs of the Democratic Socialists of America, which by the way,
they're really the Democratic Bolsheviks or Communists of America. You know,
Defund the Department of War and all deportations, eliminate cash bail,
you know, establish a wealth tax that means confiscation of wealth.
(20:46):
Pass the Green New Deal, Cradle to gray, womb to tomb,
Abolish prisons, abolished police, abolished public ownership of most corporations,
and their co chair confirming the party plans to abolish
the Presidency, the Senate, the Pentagon, prisons, capitalism, you know,
not a peep, the silence of the likes. And by
(21:06):
the way, Chuck Schumer was sitting behind me at the
National Cathedral along who else was by. He said, we
had Senator Thune back there, Senator Barasso behind me, Chuck Grassley,
Dick durban I was nice to everybody.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Linda would be very angry with me. You know, it
just is their leaders a name o.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Their silence is deafening, which makes what happens in ninety
seven days that much more important, which is why we
are trying to highlight this for you and make you fully,
fully aware of what is at stake here. We've got
thirty seven of these lunatics that are running. You know,
(21:48):
look at Marxist Kami Mamdani out of New York. By
the way, he won't rule out reparations in New York.
He can't even afford buses, and now he's talking about reparations,
you know, on top of of you know, this ridiculous tax, which,
by the way, they bungled the whole. You know, New
(22:08):
Yorkers are seething at the state tax, which was explicitly
you know, sold as levying targeting wealthy owners of luxury
second homes.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Well, it turns out most of these people actually living in.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
These homes, and then he's doxing the names of wealthy
and rich people.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Historically, you got to understand something.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
If you are considered wealthy in America, there's there's a
certain risk you have. And I interviewed Steve Wynn from
my podcast and he talked about he had a child
kidnapped because people knew he was wealthy, and it didn't
work out well. When he started doxing with a stupid
(22:51):
smile and grin of his and video in front of
Ken Griffin of Citadel.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I don't know Ken Griffin.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You know, his luxury of apartment in New York worked
over a couple of hundred million that he's paying taxes on.
And now this guy he's doxing anybody that has an
apartment that maybe they're not living in. Okay, well they're
all gonna they're all gonna sell those apartments.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Idiot.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
By the way, our friend Bruce Blakeman was on this
program last week. The Republican running against Kathy Hokeel. It
is now a four point race according to the most
recent poll that came at four point race. I mean,
I'm really pulling for him. I just hope the people
in New York this is probably your last chance to
fix your state. This is it, this is going to
(23:41):
be your last shot. You know, he's breaking New York City.
Mamdannie runs the City. Kathy Hokele scared to death of
mam Donnie. By the way, there was a release of
Gavin Newsom's mistress apparently giving a tell all note Misster
No Show Governor, which goes back some time ago, detailing
(24:04):
and describing their fling in explosive detail, their steamy hot
tub sessions, and this confession to her husband that it
was just quote about sex and anyway. It just detailed
Newsom's early part of his career. The sad part is
is the husband of the woman he's having the affair with,
(24:27):
or was having the affair with, was Newsom's close friend
and top eid And I mean it's just sad. I mean,
you talk about disloyalty at a high level, Well, that
happened years ago, all right, whatever you want to say.
If it was a Republican people would be all over it.
By the way, story out today Jonathan Turley writes this.
(24:49):
You know, these these Zora Mamdani, they spent fifty million
dollars on one government run grocery store and they say
it's going to be a thirty percent discount. The problem
is those groceries are going to be the most expensive
in the city. Here's the truth about markup in grocery stores.
They deal in volume, the markup is like two to
(25:10):
three percent. I mean, it's unbelievable. But Bandami now has
put everybody in danger by posting the names and locations
of the rich people to be taxed.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
He's listing it publicly.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
There's got to be a lawsuit here in terms of
doxing or making it illegal to docs people because of
the homes they own. Now, maybe if people are delinquent
on their taxes, you might have a case to be
made there, But no, it's anybody with money that he
wants to get his greedy hands on because he you know,
(25:46):
has his you know, democratic communist, socialist agenda that he
wants to pass. And then you got, for example, the
US Supreme Court. You know, Lewis Brandi famously said that
laboratories of democracy talking states. Now, the Supreme Court is
long recognized that one state cannot govern the citizens of
(26:06):
another state.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And anyway.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The reason I bring this up because New York is
now trying to go after states like Missouri and Iowa.
And it's the core tenet of federalism. By the way,
this structural part of our nation's constitution that allows for
great variation, great competition between our states. And anyway, it's
(26:30):
this new greenhouse gas reporting rule that requires fuel suppliers
throughout the nation to register with New York and report
information related to greenhouse gas emission, so that what New
York can pick the pockets of taxpayers in other states.
Now meanwhile, they could be there's more reliquefied natural gas
(26:51):
in New York than you could even shake a stick
at New York's economic problems. You elect Bruce Blakeman, and
New York's not going to have economic problems. They're going
to go away and Bruce Blakeman will solve those issues
on behalf of everyone. But I'm just we are living
through There are now what thirty seven Marxists or DSA people,
(27:14):
whichever you prefer to call them, that are now on
the ballot in ninety seven days. What have I been
asking you I've been asking, Well, I ask a couple
of things. Three hours a day for radio, an hour
day for TV, two podcasts a week. It's not allowed
to ask among friends. But with all that said, the
most important thing you will do this year is take this.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Midterm election seriously.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Turn Out in midterm elections determines the outcome. If every
one of you listening to this show, if everyone that
watches my TV show gets out and vote, we will
win these races. We will control Congress, we will control
the House, we will control the Senate, and these radicals
will be defeated. It is doable, but all of you
(28:02):
have to participate.
All of you for being with us.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Write down our toll free telephone number you want to
be a part of the program. It is eight hundred
ninety four when Sean, if you would.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Like to join us.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Got a lot to get into today, a lot of
catching up to do. Thank you to Jason Chaefitz and
my buddy Mark Simone and people filling in, and you know,
a lot of kind words from a lot of people
as I spoke at the National Cathedral. Perhaps that will
come up later in the program. I've got pressing issues
I've got to get to today, and not.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
The least of which is doctor No.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
One hundred and eleven times Anthony Fauci invoked the you know,
his Fifth Amendment rights. This is a guy in twenty
twenty two that said he'd answer any question that Congress
wanted to have answered.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Then, well, if I become a punching bag, I'm a
punching bag. But I am very happy to testify before
any Congressional Oversight committee. I have nothing to hide. I
have I can explain and validate everything that I've done,
so you know it's going to be inconvenient if they
actually are out there essentially threatening to make my life miserable.
(01:14):
But it's I mean, I'm going to do what I
need to do, and that is cooperate fully because we
have nothing to hide at all.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well that was, of course before they and this was
published in ram Paul's book. We I think we did
the first interview with him at the time, we you know,
and then we now we have the Fauci diaries that
have been released that are unbelievably shocking, released by Senator
ram Paul, written on a government computer using government resources,
(01:47):
documenting you know, doctor Fauci's time as the top paid
government official health official in the country and what an ego,
maniac narcissistic comes off as I mean, the ramblings of
somebody so self obsessed, so fame hungry, you know, pride
preceded the fall unbelievable. You know, for example, oh, big
(02:11):
front page article of me in the Washington Post, very flattering.
The situation with my national and international fame is explosive,
really unimaginable. Why would this be his top priority in
Americans are dying. I'm the most famous and talked about
person in the country. And he included a quote petition
(02:34):
to make me the sexiest man alive. Video games are
being named after me. Is a Fauci bobblehead, millions of
people idolizing me, Fauci wrote, you know, so giddy with excitement,
even detailing a video chat with actress Julia Roberts.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Had a wonderful Instagram discussion with Julia Roberts.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
She went on to say I was her personal he
zero and how happy she was to have this conversation
with me. Hundreds, you know, thousands of entries where Fauci
gushing about Fauci beyond weird and sick and ego maniacal
and narcissistic. It is bizarre, like any good diary. He
(03:18):
also gossips about people he doesn't like. I got a
few honorable mentions in all of this, which actually makes
me proud. Accuse me other Fox News hosts of lying
and calling us stooges, trashing me for wanting to open
up quickly, ending shutdowns quickly, getting COVID contained quickly. And
(03:42):
he detailed the meeting he attended with President Trump where
he called Sean Hannity up to schmooze about TV ratings.
But amid all of this, so many damning you know,
revelations mixed in, including real concerns about the efficacy of
these COVID vaccines, about masks. You might recall, this is
(04:05):
the same guy. My mask isn't going to work. Maybe
it'll stop a dropload or two, but it's ridiculous, and
changing that position to one mask, then two masks. His
real concerns about the efficacy of social distancing, and you know,
things that he would never tell the public. Seemed seemingly
to believe that COVID nineteen was more than likely man made.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Now we learned this and ran Paul's.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Book because Paul, I think he did the first interview
with us, said and had the conversations back and forth,
panic conversations. I believe it was late twenty nineteen into
twenty twenty, just before the complete COVID Adam Schiff show
unfolded before the nation.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I remember it was March of that year.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I was in my at the time, I was living
in New York years ago, and I was in my backyard.
I got a call from a friend of mine in
a local hospital and he worked there. He said, you
have no Sean, You've got to listen to me. You
have no idea how bad this is, he goes. We
have in the hospital right now, we have no beds available.
(05:14):
We have people in the halls of every floor we have.
We have people that are dying before our eyes. We
have nothing that we can offer them as help. They're
they're in the waiting room, out the door, down the hall,
down the street, for crying out loud, and there's nothing
we can do. I remember I got on the phone
(05:34):
immediately with the President. I called the White House. I
got him and I explained the situation as I was
hearing it on the ground. But he was already aware
of it, to be very honest, and they had everything
in place.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Now. The President, like me, is not a doctor. You know.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The worst part of ram Paul's book, you know, leading
up to these revelations of this this insane diary, is
that they were very well aware that the NIH had
monies that they gave to the Eco Health Alliance, and
they knew that the Eco Health Alliance was funding the
(06:14):
Wuhan Virology Lab. They knew at that lab that coronavirus
research was taking place, and they knew gain of function
research took place. I remember quoting at the time Fauci
saying in twenty twelve, something to the effect that even
if it caused a worldwide pandemic, he would support the
gain of function research. I mean, he answered zero questions.
(06:38):
He has the protection of a presidential pardon, and he
does face legal He does face a lot of legal challenges.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Number one, there is issue, although it's I think the
majority of the opinion, the established view would be would
be very hard even though you have, you know, gotten
a pardon. In terms of that, you usually would give
up your right to plead. The fifth, the more interesting
(07:09):
challenge might be whether or not Biden used the auto
pen or made the decision himself or somebody else made
the decision for him. There is no defense for this
legacy of mistakes, no defense for this ego mania, no
defense for the pressure campaign. I've explained many times on
this program, the amount of pressure that was brought to
(07:29):
bear on yours truly to tell you, my audience, what
you should do, and that you should give in and
take the shot.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I refuse to do it.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And I explained at the time, I said it so
often I can repeat it verbatim. Now take it seriously.
I knew because people were dying, especially older people, I said,
take it seriously. I said, you've got to make an
informed decision. Do your research, check in with your doctor,
factor in your unique medical condition, your medical history, maybe comorbidities,
(08:06):
you may have, pre existing conditions you may have, and
then make your own decision.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I am not a doctor. I was in no position
to tell people what to do.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Now, we did put on other people that had and
this was a little bit later on. Doctor George Farreid
was on the program. Doctor ty Brian Tyson was on
this program. Doctor Robert Malone, the creator of the technology
that led to the creation of the mRNA virus, and
it was very clear that this technology had not been perfected.
(08:39):
There would not have been a Pfizer or Maderna without
his technology, and he was saying very clearly that it
is not perfected. It was always experimental and saying that
at best, maybe the most vulnerable comorbidities, pre existing conditions,
and the elderly, which were more likely impacted by COVID,
(09:00):
you know, they might be, you know, be the people
and the only people that would be eligible for these
vaccines that they mandated on everybody. I will tell you
that Fauci now is just because he got a pardon.
We'll find out if it's an autopen partner not. I
think there's a challenge there legally. I know, my Free
(09:20):
state of Florida, we got a really good attorney general
appointed by Governor Rohn de Santis.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
His name is James Udmeyer.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
He's been on this program before, and he launched a
pardon proof Fauci investigation. He said about a month ago
that he was losing sleep overthinking of ways to prosecute Fauci,
and one of the options for holding Fauci accountable for
COVID crimes and again he would state lawsuits, state charges.
(09:47):
You know, whatever pardoner he got from Biden, be it
autopen or otherwise, would not be applicable here. He can
be prosecuted at the state level. His federal pardon would
not apply. And in order for that protection have a
fair chance of succeeding, it would have to be brought
in a red state because the chances of any blue
state jury rendering an objective verdict would be likely.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Slim and none.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So it looks like Florida is going to be My
free state of Florida is going to be the first
state to attempt to pardon prove prosecution of Fauci. Now,
by the way, we did put on these doctors that
very successfully were treating people with alternative solutions. Yeah, there
was a protocol. I was I got the alpha strain,
(10:33):
and there was everybody demanding that I give my status.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
You know, did I get the shot? And the answer is,
I never got the RNA shot. There's my answer. And
I don't mind telling Natina.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Once they were demanding that I say it, the media
pressure campaign, the mob, I just said, it's none of
your damn business to be very honest with you and
piss me off, and otherwise I would have or normally
been glad to have shared what happened. I did get
the alpha strain. I had already spoken to many doctors
that said, well, if you get it, it looks like
(11:05):
hydroxychloric when taken early, and this was born out through
studies post COVID, starting with a Henry Ford Hospital study
and then many others thereafter, taken early did mitigate symptoms.
I already had all my stuff on hand, Vitamin D,
vitamin C, zinc z pak, it was all there. I
got notified that I had been exposed, that I likely
(11:27):
had it, started taking it kicked everybody out of my house,
and I just said, that's it, stay away from me.
But I never missed the radio show, and I never
missed a TV show, and the only one that broke protocol.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Sweet baby, James.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You know, a couple of times he'd walk in, I said,
get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I remember screaming out of them.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And it's not usually my way of dealing with people, but
I was like, I told you, do them not come
in here. This is like in a you know, this
is a no go zone, kind of like Europe. Anyway,
so he can be held accountable. James Upmeyer, the Florida
Attorney General, announcing the state investigation on Fauci yesterday, and
(12:13):
you know, he was the chief of Stafford DeSantis, now
our attorney general. He did a great job, and he's
doing a great job, Friend of the program. His diary
enterings he knowingly overestimated COVID's death rate in public pronouncements.
You know, for example, entries from early twenty twenty now
exposed personal diaries that he privately estimated the COVID death
(12:34):
was significantly lower than what he was telling Congress, so
under oath. Only weeks later, I mean lying under oath
to Congress would normally be a crime. The stated mortality
over all of this, when you look at all the
data including China, is about three percent. It started off
at two percent, now it's three percent. He said before
the House Oversight Committee, and during the hearing just weeks
(12:57):
after the virus reached the US, Fauci said the COVID
death rate was one thousand percent higher than the seasonal flu.
I think he can count all the cases of minimally
symptomatic or asymptomatic infection that probably brings the mortality rate
down to somewhere around one percent. So he wasn't telling
Congress the truth at the time either, And we found
(13:18):
out what an egomaniac he is. You know, it's he
might face contempt of Congress vote. Remember Steve bat and
Peter Navarro both refused to testify. They were cited for contempt.
Let's see what happens here. Josh Hawley was just absolutely phenomenal.
We had him on TV last night and you were
using federal employees taxpayer dollars. Accused Fauci of illegally using
(13:41):
his staff to solicit prize money. You know, he's bragging
that he might be the sexiest man alive and may actually,
you know, have a bobblehead doll designed after him. I mean,
it's so bizarre, it's so weird, it's so narcissistic, so
ego maniacal. It's like, how did this guy ever get
in this position of power? How do you How many
(14:02):
times have I warned all of you in this audience,
don't trust the government. Look at how bad government schools are,
spend more per capita per student than any industrialized country,
the worst results. How bad was every Obamacare promise? How
bad was well? The border's closed, borders control, Joe's cognitively strong,
(14:22):
the social Security lock box been rated. I don't know
why people trust government. I never trusted them never, and
I never I never gave into the pressure, and it
was enormous at certain times. Man, And I will say,
my employers never forced me or even tried to influence
me one way or the other. And I've just got
(14:42):
to tell the audience the truth. Now we're going to
get back into We have a lot on Fauci coming
up today, a lot because I am I'm so disgusted.
You know, Let's see if he does face a contempt
of Congress charge Josh Hawley was just pretty believable. You know,
you were using federal employees taxpayer money to apply for
(15:05):
and solicit solicit cash prizes for you personally.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Prize is totally.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Over a million dollars use The number one paid federal employee,
you know, and Hally explained was nine hundred thousand dollars
cash award? Was that one of the prizes and he
got it because he used federal employees to get it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
And this wasn't even the only award, was it doctor.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Fauci, you know on advice to council one hundred and
eleven times, but staff employees on a federal dime during
a pandemic, being paid with federal dollars, soliciting cash for him.
Bauci wanted the money we want to get to Yes,
he wants it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That's his chief of staff again, using federal email to
pressure you know, others that he could get rich on
top of everything else. And then love being a star,
Love being a star, very sick, very critical to me.
But I take that it's kind of like Marco Rubo.
It was told by a senator and a hearing. I'm sorry,
(16:08):
I voted for you. I take that as a great compliment.
Fauci criticizing me, I take as a great compliment. He
revealed in his diary that he enlisted Barack Obama's help
to beat back bad publicity in terms of the beagle
torture experiments that he funded. You know, he used six
(16:29):
month old beagle puppies who had their vocal cords cut
out to prevent them from barking. They were then infested
with ticks and sedated and placed in cages with infectious
sandflies and a lab in Tunisia. Anyway, the former National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases doctor Fauci enlisted the
(16:51):
help of the media, friends and former President Obama to
beat back allegations in twenty one that his agency funded
painful experiments for dogs on puppies were later euthanized, all
of them, according to records by released by Senator Ram Paul.
You know, they approved the three hundred and seventy five
thousand dollars grant to fund these gruesome experiments. Senator Jony Ernst,
(17:17):
I don't understand that at least five different you know,
funded tests on dogs, including puppies as young as six
months old are planned. This drug will involve invasive, painful,
potentially deadly procedures. And I mean, it just shows you
how nuts this guy is. Senator Ted Cruz demanding in
(17:37):
the Fauci face jail time, labeling him America's most damaging bureaucrat.
I don't I just don't think there was any anybody
more damaging. You know, him invoking the Fifth Amendment really
when he said in twenty twenty two, oh, he'd never
do that, you know, he had his own lawyer tossed
out of the hearing by Senator Ram Paul. You know, Congressman,
(18:00):
I'm sorry, Senator Moreno, you know, what the f do
you think you are just letting him have it? Paul
announces contempt vote, which is good, that's gonna take take place,
and Senator Paul questioning whether Fauci's invoking the fifth was
even valid after the Biden pardon. Hopefully that can be
(18:21):
tested in the courts, you know, as it relates to
the autopen pardon that is, you know, unquestionable legal ground.
Then of course I mentioned Florida, my free state. James Upmeyer,
our attorney general here in the Free State of Florida.
He's a great attorney general. I have a lot of
confidence in him. But the documents unveil Fauci's thoughts on
(18:43):
the lab leak debate and mask doubts and testing failure
which we were already chronicled on this program, and we
told everything we told you was true. And to think,
you know, of all the pressure being brought to bear
and all the criticism of the likes of me and
others behind the scenes. Fetterman revealed his one regret from COVID,
(19:05):
and he told the Fox News digitally stayed quiet because
the idea was dismissed as a right wing fringe theory.
He said his one regret from COVID was that, you know,
he said his greatest regrets was not speaking up more forcefully.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Well, I mean a lot of people when the government
tells people.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
This is why I tell you all the time, my
beloved audience here, you know, I tell you, do not
count on the government. Don't you can't trust them. That's
the bottom line, as evidenced by you. Their failed schools.
The lock box rated social Security headed towards insolvency. Medicare
(19:44):
towards insolvency. You know, you know, look at the you know,
what are they doing. They've opened borders, but the borders
are closed, the borders are secure. Lie, Joe Biden is
cognitively so strong. I have a hard time keeping up
with them. Peppermin Patty, you know, circle back Jensaki saying,
you know, look at what we're up against in ninety
(20:06):
seven days. All these candidates eliminate the US Senate, you know,
eliminate you know, who chooses the president, and get rid
of getting rid of judges, Amnesty for illegals, open borders,
abolish ice.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
They're saying it.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
You know, this is what came out this week on
Fox News Sunday when you had one of the co
chairs of the Democratic Socialists of America, which by the way,
they're really the Democratic Bolsheviks or Communists of America. You know,
Defund the Department of War and all deportations, eliminate cash bail,
you know, establish a wealth tax that means confiscation of wealth.
(20:46):
Pass the Green New Deal, Cradle to gray, womb to tomb,
Abolish prisons, abolished police, abolished public ownership of most corporations,
and their co chair confirming the party plans to abolish
the Presidency, the Senate, the Pentagon, prisons, capitalism, you know,
not a peep, the silence of the likes. And by
(21:06):
the way, Chuck Schumer was sitting behind me at the
National Cathedral along who else was by. He said, we
had Senator Thune back there, Senator Barasso behind me, Chuck Grassley,
Dick durban I was nice to everybody.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Linda would be very angry with me. You know, it
just is their leaders a name o.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Their silence is deafening, which makes what happens in ninety
seven days that much more important, which is why we
are trying to highlight this for you and make you fully,
fully aware of what is at stake here. We've got
thirty seven of these lunatics that are running. You know,
(21:48):
look at Marxist Kami Mamdani out of New York. By
the way, he won't rule out reparations in New York.
He can't even afford buses, and now he's talking about reparations,
you know, on top of of you know, this ridiculous tax, which,
by the way, they bungled the whole. You know, New
(22:08):
Yorkers are seething at the state tax, which was explicitly
you know, sold as levying targeting wealthy owners of luxury
second homes.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Well, it turns out most of these people actually living in.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
These homes, and then he's doxing the names of wealthy
and rich people.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Historically, you got to understand something.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
If you are considered wealthy in America, there's there's a
certain risk you have. And I interviewed Steve Wynn from
my podcast and he talked about he had a child
kidnapped because people knew he was wealthy, and it didn't
work out well. When he started doxing with a stupid
(22:51):
smile and grin of his and video in front of
Ken Griffin of Citadel.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I don't know Ken Griffin.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You know, his luxury of apartment in New York worked
over a couple of hundred million that he's paying taxes on.
And now this guy he's doxing anybody that has an
apartment that maybe they're not living in. Okay, well they're
all gonna they're all gonna sell those apartments.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Idiot.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
By the way, our friend Bruce Blakeman was on this
program last week. The Republican running against Kathy Hokeel. It
is now a four point race according to the most
recent poll that came at four point race. I mean,
I'm really pulling for him. I just hope the people
in New York this is probably your last chance to
fix your state. This is it, this is going to
(23:41):
be your last shot. You know, he's breaking New York City.
Mamdannie runs the City. Kathy Hokele scared to death of
mam Donnie. By the way, there was a release of
Gavin Newsom's mistress apparently giving a tell all note Misster
No Show Governor, which goes back some time ago, detailing
(24:04):
and describing their fling in explosive detail, their steamy hot
tub sessions, and this confession to her husband that it
was just quote about sex and anyway. It just detailed
Newsom's early part of his career. The sad part is
is the husband of the woman he's having the affair with,
(24:27):
or was having the affair with, was Newsom's close friend
and top eid And I mean it's just sad. I mean,
you talk about disloyalty at a high level, Well, that
happened years ago, all right, whatever you want to say.
If it was a Republican people would be all over it.
By the way, story out today Jonathan Turley writes this.
(24:49):
You know, these these Zora Mamdani, they spent fifty million
dollars on one government run grocery store and they say
it's going to be a thirty percent discount. The problem
is those groceries are going to be the most expensive
in the city. Here's the truth about markup in grocery stores.
They deal in volume, the markup is like two to
(25:10):
three percent. I mean, it's unbelievable. But Bandami now has
put everybody in danger by posting the names and locations
of the rich people to be taxed.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
He's listing it publicly.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
There's got to be a lawsuit here in terms of
doxing or making it illegal to docs people because of
the homes they own. Now, maybe if people are delinquent
on their taxes, you might have a case to be
made there, But no, it's anybody with money that he
wants to get his greedy hands on because he you know,
(25:46):
has his you know, democratic communist, socialist agenda that he
wants to pass. And then you got, for example, the
US Supreme Court. You know, Lewis Brandi famously said that
laboratories of democracy talking states. Now, the Supreme Court is
long recognized that one state cannot govern the citizens of
(26:06):
another state.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And anyway.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The reason I bring this up because New York is
now trying to go after states like Missouri and Iowa.
And it's the core tenet of federalism. By the way,
this structural part of our nation's constitution that allows for
great variation, great competition between our states. And anyway, it's
(26:30):
this new greenhouse gas reporting rule that requires fuel suppliers
throughout the nation to register with New York and report
information related to greenhouse gas emission, so that what New
York can pick the pockets of taxpayers in other states.
Now meanwhile, they could be there's more reliquefied natural gas
(26:51):
in New York than you could even shake a stick
at New York's economic problems. You elect Bruce Blakeman, and
New York's not going to have economic problems. They're going
to go away and Bruce Blakeman will solve those issues
on behalf of everyone. But I'm just we are living
through There are now what thirty seven Marxists or DSA people,
(27:14):
whichever you prefer to call them, that are now on
the ballot in ninety seven days. What have I been
asking you I've been asking, Well, I ask a couple
of things. Three hours a day for radio, an hour
day for TV, two podcasts a week. It's not allowed
to ask among friends. But with all that said, the
most important thing you will do this year is take this.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Midterm election seriously.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Turn Out in midterm elections determines the outcome. If every
one of you listening to this show, if everyone that
watches my TV show gets out and vote, we will
win these races. We will control Congress, we will control
the House, we will control the Senate, and these radicals
will be defeated. It is doable, but all of you
(28:02):
have to participate.
