Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coronavirus is not a major threat for the people in
the United States, and this is not something the citizens
should be worried about. Dr Faucci January. He later said
the American people five days later, January, the American people
should not be worried or frightened by coronavirus. This is
(00:24):
a very very low risk to the United States. It
isn't something the American public needs to worry about it
be frightened about. Five days later, after found she says,
no big deal. Trump issued a travel band on China.
Five days later Today, Saturday, all weekend. Trump unprepared, people die,
(00:47):
Trump lied, Trump, lazy, Trump, incompetent, Trump, not engaged, Trump
slousy instincts Dr Faunci yesterday on CNN. If Trump had
listened to our recommendations, we could have saved lives sooner. Wait, what,
(01:08):
coronavirus not a major threat. It's not something that citizens
would be worried about. Dr Faucci. American people should not
be worried or frightened by. It's very very low risk.
What ladies and gentlemen, I'm no quarrel with Dr Faucci's
medical credentials, not going to even address him I'm not
have no no problem with Dr Faucci and his qualifications
(01:32):
as a doctor, his qualifications infectious disease specialist at the
National Institute's for Health. But there is clearly a political
effort under way that has been underway since prior to
the election in November two thousand sixteen to destroy President Trump.
(01:56):
It is an effort that continued after the election two
thousand sixteen, and it can it had its own component
during the transition, they tried to actually do things that
would prevent Trump being inaugurated, would cause people to reexamine
Trump's legitimacy. And then after Trump has inaugurated, the effort
to get rid of him continued. And they all knew
(02:17):
that everything they were using his evidence was bogus, and
never have they all knew, every one of them knew.
And what's happening today with the politicization of the economic
shutdown relationship to coronavirus is a continuation of that. Much
as many of you wish it weren't true and don't
want to believe it, it is. So. We have no
(02:42):
quarrel with Dr Faucci and his medical credentials. We have
no quarrel with with Dr Faucci and his concern for
his patients, but there are some things that he needs
to explain. If the President of the United States is
going to be the victim of a hit job in
(03:04):
the New York Times on Saturday with a bogus charge
that he was not prepared when he actually was the
only one who was by shutting down travel from China Janu.
It's it's just a public service to review some of
the things that the person the media is going to
(03:24):
as the singular authority on every aspect of this way
beyond his medical credentials. You realize Dr Founci is being
turned to as an expert on reopening He's being turned
to as an expert on when it's coming back. He's
turned to as the expert on reopening schools. He's the
expert on how to operate restaurants when they reopened. Dr
Founci is being turned to as the totally accountable and
(03:47):
you can't question what he says expert on all of
these things that have nothing to do with his medical qualifications.
This is not right. It's grossly on there to President Trump.
It's grossly unfair to all of us. So to review
(04:09):
repetition is a primary ingredient to persuasion. Coronavirus is not
a major threat for the people in the United States,
and this is not something the citizens should be worried about.
Dr Anthony Faucci, January one. Five days later, on a
podcast with a New York grocery store magnate, John Katzi
Metada he is a grocery store guy, writes nertly CATSI metatis, Yeah,
(04:34):
I think he is. January. American people should not be
worried or frightened by this. It's a very very low
risk for the United States. Dr Fauci five days later,
after saying coronavirus not a major threat for the people,
not something the citizens will be worried about, he said,
it isn't something the American people need to worry about,
(04:56):
it be frightened about. Dr Founci, what is the date?
I have to search for the date. Well, the story
is March nine. Then it's Forbes. Dr Founci. If you
are a healthy young person, there's no reason if you
(05:17):
want to go on a cruise ship, go on a
cruise ship. Remember the Song of Princess or the virus
Princes or whatever it's doctor or offshore in Japan. Everybody
on it had the virus. When was that is? Doctor
Founci had a story March ninth Forbes. If you're a
(05:37):
healthy young person, there's no reason you want to go
on a cruise ship. Going to cruise ship, Dr Foucci
yesterday and CNN. If Trump had listened to our recommendations,
we could have saved lives, Doctor Founci's recommendations. I'm sorry
we're to ignore the coronavirus. Doctor Founci's recommendations, January one.
It's not something the citizens should be worried about. It's
(06:00):
not something citizens should be frightened by. Very very low risk.
Here's audio sound by number six and our roster today,
CNN State of the Union, Jake Tapper talking to Dr Faunci.
So The New York Times reported in their bogus hit
job yesterday that you and other top Trump officials wanted
to recommend social and physical distancing guidelines to President Trump
(06:23):
as far back as the third week of February. The
administration didn't announce such guidelines until March sixteenth, almost a
month later. Why we look at it from a pure
health standpoint, we make a recommendation often the recommendation is taken.
Sometimes it's not, but it is what it is. We
are we we are right now. Do you think lives
could have been saved if social distancing, physical distancing, stay
(06:47):
at home measures had started third week of February instead
of mid March. Obviously you could logically say that if
you had a process that was ongoing and you started
mitigation earlier, you could have saved Obviously, no one is
going to deny that. But there was a lot of
pushback about shutting things down back then. Well, there was
(07:07):
a lot of pushback. I wonder who Dr Fauci is
referring to. It has to be Trump. So Dr Fauci
says essentially in that by if Trumpets listen to our recommendations,
we get save lives. Now, how does he get away
with this politically? Not forget the health aspect of this,
because nobody is here challenging whether he's a qualified doctor.
(07:27):
But he gets to go on seeing and and basically
not even be asked about his statements in January and
February that the American people have nothing to worry about,
that it's not a major threat. Why does he get away?
Why is he not held accountable whoa rush. Not very
many people heard doctor Foucci, So dude, I don't care.
(07:52):
We can go back and tell everybody what he said
and inform them. Dr Fauci five days later the American
people should not be worried or frightened. The very very
low risk not something the American people need to worry about.
So that's January January, February nine piece saying if you
want to go to cruise ship and you're young, do it.
And he goes on CNN yesterday and says, yeah, well,
(08:16):
if we've been listened to, if our mitigation suggestions have
been listened to, yeah, additional lives would have been saved.
But we got a lot of push. This is folks,
this is outrageous. Here is audio SoundBite number seven see
if something and this is this is against the same show.
(08:37):
Jake Tapper talking at Dr Fauci, said, you'll think it
will be safe in November for voters to physically go
to vote at the polls. I hope, So, Jake, I
can't guarantee it. If we have a good measured way
of rolling into this steps towards normality that we hope
by the time we get to November that will be
(08:59):
able to do it in a way which is the
standard way. However, and I don't want to be the
pessimistic person. There is always the possibility as that as
we get into next full and the beginning of early winter,
that we could see a rebound. So uh, Dr Fauci,
I can't guarantee the November election can proceed normally. Is
(09:24):
the National Institute for Health in charge of federal elections?
Is the director of the National Institute for Health in
charge of any aspect of the American economy? Is the
National Institutes for Health responsible for determining when schools can open? It? Well,
(09:44):
maybe you might have asked the question that way, But
should they be involved, should they be consulted? But when
did the National Institute for Health become the source authority
for the reopening various segments of our country? Dr Fauci quote,
(10:08):
I can't guarantee the November election can perceive normally. I
didn't know that the NIH guaranteed the integrity and the
even occurrence the execution of presidential elections. I didn't know this.
(10:33):
We have Dr Fauci and tape saying many of these
quotes have attributed. Here's number eight January by number eight.
January one, Doctor Founci on Newsmax the show called Greg
Kelly Reports. He said that Dr Founci, bottom line, we
don't have to worry about this coronavirus right. Obviously, it
needs to take it seriously and do the kinds of
(10:56):
things that the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security
are doing. But this is not a major threat for
the people in the United States, and this is not
something that the citizens of the United States right now
should be worried about. So you see, my friends, I
waited for this. I sucked you in and many of
you have been checking the email. You're making it up.
Found you didn't say that. That's what you do, Limbay,
(11:18):
you make it. I never make it up. There's Dr
Fauci and his own words. You heard it. This is
not something that the citizens of the U s right
now should be worried about. This guy is being turned
to for his stamp of approval on having the November
election or opening your kids screwels. February nine, NBC's Weekend
(11:45):
Today's Show co host Peter Alexander talking to the director
of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director
Dr Anthony Founci. Question, Dr Founci, Saturday morning in America.
This February twenty nine. Now, Dr Founci, Saturday morning in America.
People are waking up right now with real concerns about this.
(12:07):
They want to go to malls and movies, maybe the gym.
Should we be changing our habits? And if so? How
right now? At this moment, there is no need to
change anything that you're doing on a day by day
basis right now. The risk is still low. Right, Okay,
So back in February twenty nine, February, Dr Founci, Oh, no,
(12:31):
no need to change anything you're doing on a day
to day basis. The risk is still low. Can I
have someund by number six? Again? This is Dr Founci
yesterday CNN. Dr Founci. Administration didn't announce guidelines American people
till March six. Why we look at it from a
(12:53):
pure health standpoint. We make a recommendation. Often the recommendation
is taken, sometimes it's not, but it is it is.
We are we are right now? Do you think lives
could have been saved if social distancing, physical distancing, stay
at home measures had started Third week of February instead
of mid March. Obviously you could logically say that if
(13:15):
you had a process that was ongoing and you started
mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives. Obviously, no one
is going to deny that. But there was a lot
of pushback about shutting things down back there, right, Okay,
that's reference to Trump now, not to day Here up,
Jake Tapper, do you think lives could have been saved
(13:36):
if these measures had started the third week of February
s to the mid March for oh yes, it's dr around. Well,
February twenty nine is the fourth week of February, and
Jake Tapper is asking Dr Fauci about the third week
of February. Do you think lives could have been saved
if social distancing had started third week of February? Out,
(14:00):
No question about it, not many, Dr Foucy yesterday on
February twenty nine, a week after the third week in February.
And no right now at this moment, no need to
change anything you're doing on a day. But why does
doctor found she get to change, get to redo like
(14:24):
the models. The models get to redo whatever they're putting
out when they're wrong. They're never wrong. We just need
a new day. Why does doctor Founci get numerous doovers?
Why is Dr found She never held accountable to the
things he says, and yet we get bogus hit pieces
on the unpreparedness of Donald Trump, say New York Times.
I'm mentioning all this. The only answer is because all
(14:46):
of this is politicized, folks, and the target is Donald Trump,
not the virus. These people are targeting Donald Trump. He
is a bigger target to them than the virus. Du
doubt me. I know it's hard to believe. Fauci's not alone.
Don't misunderstand the Democrats, the media, the environmentalists, committed as
(15:11):
a whole quadrety FBI, everybody involved in getting Trump on
Trump Russia collusion, still involved in trying to get rid
of Trump period. Look we just we have another one here.
February seventeen, this year, USA Today, Top disease, official risk
of coronavirus in USA miniscule, skip mask and wash hands.
(15:34):
So this is not your found she the second week
of February, third week of February. Nothing to worry about. Yesterday,
Asked by Jake Tapper if we'd done things in the
fourth week of February, conn have been safer. Yeah, we're
could have been saber, but there was pushedback. Obviously found
she wasn't you found she as recently as the third
week of February thing and nothing to worry about here?
How much pushback could there have been? How I mean
(15:57):
it seriously, If in the third week, in the second
week of February, and and the third and fourth weeks
of January, if Dr Founci thinks there's nothing to worry about,
then he's obviously not telling President Trump, you gotta do something, dude,
you gotta get into year fast. And Trump couldn't have
been pushing back. In fact, at that time Trump did
the institute the travel ban from China. So what pushback
(16:19):
would there have been? Because Dr Founci was not advocating
for strong measures because he didn't think there was anything
to worry about as recently as February. Look, I'm simply
reviewing what Dr Fauci has said, putting it in a timeline,
(16:41):
measuring it against the New York Times effort to say
it's Trump that's unprepared, when Trump the only guy who
did anything in January banning flights from China, and now
Doctor Founci said, well, there was an effort. You know,
we wanted to shut down sooner. We want tomittigate social
did we were getting pushed back? How could he have
been getting pushed back? Went in as recently February twenty
(17:01):
ninety was even advocating for any measures such as mitigation
or it just in fact, he was even saying skip
the mask and wash your hands. February seventeen. Dr Anthony Fauci.
If testing shows the virus has slipped into the country
in places federal officials don't know about, we've got a problem.
(17:27):
Short of that, Dr Fauci says, skip the masks unless
you're contagious, don't worry about catching anything from Chinese products. Certainly,
don't avoid Chinese people at restaurants whenever you have the
threat of a transmissible infection. Their varying degrees from understandable
to outlandish extrapolation of fear. Other advice from Dr Fauci
(17:50):
and masks man. The only people need masks or those
already infected, just wash your hands February seven. Teams now,
but he's trying to make Dr Fauci the fall guy
for anything here we're just beginning to wonder why Donald
Trump is a bigger target, and we know the answer
(18:14):
to the question, and I'm just trying to get you
all up to speed, those of you that don't know it,
that the continuation to get Trump effort is front end
center over the virus for these people.
Coronavirus is not a major threat for the people in
the United States, and this is not something the citizens
should be worried about. Dr Faucci January. He later said
the American people five days later, January, the American people
should not be worried or frightened by coronavirus. This is
(00:24):
a very very low risk to the United States. It
isn't something the American public needs to worry about it
be frightened about. Five days later, after found she says,
no big deal. Trump issued a travel band on China.
Five days later Today, Saturday, all weekend. Trump unprepared, people die,
(00:47):
Trump lied, Trump, lazy, Trump, incompetent, Trump, not engaged, Trump
slousy instincts Dr Faunci yesterday on CNN. If Trump had
listened to our recommendations, we could have saved lives sooner. Wait, what,
(01:08):
coronavirus not a major threat. It's not something that citizens
would be worried about. Dr Faucci. American people should not
be worried or frightened by. It's very very low risk.
What ladies and gentlemen, I'm no quarrel with Dr Faucci's

February seventeen, this year, USA Today, Top disease, official risk
of coronavirus in USA miniscule, skip mask and wash hands.
(15:34):
So this is not your found she the second week
of February, third week of February. Nothing to worry about. Yesterday,
Asked by Jake Tapper if we'd done things in the
fourth week of February, conn have been safer. Yeah, we're
could have been saber, but there was pushedback. Obviously found
she wasn't you found she as recently as the third
week of February thing and nothing to worry about here?
How much pushback could there have been? How I mean
(15:57):
it seriously, If in the third week, in the second
week of February, and and the third and fourth weeks
of January, if Dr Founci thinks there's nothing to worry about,
then he's obviously not telling President Trump, you gotta do something, dude,
you gotta get into year fast. And Trump couldn't have
been pushing back. In fact, at that time Trump did
the institute the travel ban from China. So what pushback
(16:19):
would there have been? Because Dr Founci was not advocating
for strong measures because he didn't think there was anything
to worry about as recently as February. Look, I'm simply
reviewing what Dr Fauci has said, putting it in a timeline,
(16:41):
measuring it against the New York Times effort to say
it's Trump that's unprepared, when Trump the only guy who
did anything in January banning flights from China, and now
Doctor Founci said, well, there was an effort. You know,
we wanted to shut down sooner. We want tomittigate social
did we were getting pushed back? How could he have
been getting pushed back? Went in as recently February twenty
(17:01):
ninety was even advocating for any measures such as mitigation
or it just in fact, he was even saying skip
the mask and wash your hands. February seventeen. Dr Anthony Fauci.
If testing shows the virus has slipped into the country
in places federal officials don't know about, we've got a problem.
(17:27):
Short of that, Dr Fauci says, skip the masks unless
you're contagious, don't worry about catching anything from Chinese products. Certainly,
don't avoid Chinese people at restaurants whenever you have the
threat of a transmissible infection. Their varying degrees from understandable
to outlandish extrapolation of fear. Other advice from Dr Fauci
(17:50):
and masks man. The only people need masks or those
already infected, just wash your hands February seven. Teams now,
but he's trying to make Dr Fauci the fall guy
for anything here we're just beginning to wonder why Donald
Trump is a bigger target, and we know the answer
(18:14):
to the question, and I'm just trying to get you
all up to speed, those of you that don't know it,
that the continuation to get Trump effort is front end
center over the virus for these people.
