Fauci EVISCERATED after heated Senate hearing: 'DRUNK WITH POWER'

[0:01] The reason he had to plead the fifth is his alternative was lying to Congress and that's [0:05] something sadly Dr. Fauci has done repeatedly. The pardon that Joe Biden corruptly gave him [0:10] to cover up from his criminality, that was retrospective. That covered past crimes. [0:16] But if he went to the Senate and lied again yesterday, I believe the Department of Justice [0:21] would prosecute him for lying to Congress under oath. He was a craven liar who destroyed jobs, [0:26] who destroyed lives, who destroyed the future of kids. Another lie that he revealed in his [0:32] diary is he was reveling in convincing Democrats in New York and California to shut down schools. [0:42] Well, that was Texas Senator Ted Cruz with me on Mornings with Maria on Fox Business on Thursday [0:46] following a tense Senate oversight hearing into the origins of the coronavirus and whether Dr. [0:52] Anthony Fauci previously lied under oath to Congress. Here's the chairman of the committee. [0:57] Rand Paul with me just before the hearing. Watch this. [1:01] I expect he will not tell the truth. I expect him to dissemble. I expect him to filibuster. [1:08] But I don't expect him to be honest. We have the evidence now that he destroyed records, [1:12] that he encouraged others to destroy records. We have evidence and the opinion of many of the [1:18] people who worked around with him that the research that was funded in China and Wuhan was dangerous, [1:23] gain-to-function research. Lying to Congress is a felony. Will there be any accountability for lies? [1:31] Yes. If that he lies during the hearing, that's a new lie and the pardon won't cover that. [1:36] Instead of answering questions from the Senate panel, Fauci decided to plead the Fifth Amendment [1:42] over and over again. Watch this. [1:45] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment [1:51] of the Constitution. I'm sorry, Senator, but on the advice of counsel, [1:55] I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [2:00] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment [2:05] TO THE CONSTITUTION. [2:07] THAT WAS SOMETHING. [2:09] JOINING ME NOW IS KANSAS SENATOR [2:10] ROGER MARSHALL. [2:11] SENATOR, I KNOW YOU'RE NO LONGER [2:13] ON THE COMMITTEE, SO YOU WERE [2:14] NOT ASKING QUESTIONS, BUT YOU [2:16] WERE SITTING RIGHT BEHIND HIM. [2:17] WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT [2:18] HEARING? [2:19] YEAH, MARIA, WELL, GOOD [2:21] MORNING. [2:22] I THINK, YOU KNOW, FIRST OF ALL, [2:23] FAUCI WAS LITERALLY SHAKING AS HE [2:25] READ HIS OPENING STATEMENT. [2:27] AND THROUGH THAT HEARING, HE TOOK [2:29] BODY BLOW AFTER BODY BLOW. [2:32] AND EVENTUALLY, WHEN IT'S ALL [2:33] OVER WITH, HE'S A MAN THAT'S [2:35] BROKEN. [2:35] HE LOOKS LIKE AN OLD PUNCHING [2:37] BAG THAT'S WORN OUT AND JUST DONE [2:39] IN THE GYM, AND WHY WOULDN'T HE? [2:41] IF AMERICANS TAKE THE TIME TO [2:43] READ HIS DIARY, THEY'RE GOING TO [2:44] SEE THAT THIS WAS A GUY THAT WAS [2:46] FULL OF PRIDE. [2:48] HE WAS DRUNK WITH POWER. [2:49] HE WAS DRUNK WITH PRIDE. [2:50] HE WAS DRUNK WITH HIS OWN [2:51] CELEBRITY. [2:52] THIS IS THE ANTHONY FAUCI THAT I [2:54] SAW THROUGH THOSE FIVE YEARS. [2:56] NEVER ANY REMORSE, NEVER ANY [2:57] CONCERN FOR THE PEOPLE DYING, LET [2:59] ALONE THE ONES HE WAS LOCKING OUT [3:01] OF CHURCHES, OUT OF SCHOOLS, OUT OF [3:03] THEIR JOBS. [3:04] HE WAS NOT ONLY READING HIS OWN [3:06] PRESS CLIPPINGS, HE WAS, YOU KNOW, [3:07] HE WAS PUTTING THEM IN HIS OWN, [3:09] IN HIS OWN DIARY AS WELL. [3:11] YOU KNOW, REGALING OVER EVERY ONE [3:12] OF THEM. [3:13] SO, SAD DAY FOR AMERICA. [3:15] WE STILL DON'T HAVE CLOSURE. [3:16] THERE'S SO MUCH HE COULD HAVE [3:17] TOLD US. [3:18] THERE'S SO MUCH THAT HE COULD [3:19] HAVE TOLD US SO WE COULD LEARN [3:20] FOR NEXT TIME. [3:21] WELL, I MEAN, YOU ARE A DOCTOR. [3:24] YOU CAME INTO CONGRESS AS A [3:26] MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL IN YOUR OWN [3:27] RIGHT. [3:28] SO, WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY FROM [3:30] THOSE DIARY ENTRIES THAT WE [3:32] SHOULD BE UNDERSTANDING BEST? [3:33] RIGHT. [3:34] SO, AGAIN, HE TELLS, HE WRITES IN [3:37] HIS DIARY ONE THING BUT TELLS [3:39] AMERICA SOMETHING ELSE. [3:40] THE END OF JANUARY 2020, HE IS [3:43] SITTING THERE SAYING THERE'S NO [3:45] WAY THAT THIS VIRUS CAME FROM [3:48] THIS WET MARKET, THAT IT WAS A [3:50] SPREADER EVENT. [3:51] AND, OH, BY THE WAY, THIS [3:54] BIOSECURITY LEVEL 4 LAB IS JUST [3:56] LIKE A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY. [3:57] SO, WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK IS [3:59] MORE LIKELY? [4:00] THAT A BAT TRAVEL 2,000 MILES, [4:02] GOT OFF ON A BUS AND THEN [4:04] SUDDENLY GOT INTO THAT MARKET? [4:05] OR DO YOU THINK IT WAS LEAKED [4:07] FROM THE LAB FOUR BLOCKS AWAY? [4:08] SO, HE SAYS ONE THING TO HIS [4:10] DIARY, SOMETHING ELSE TO US. [4:11] ON FEBRUARY THE 1ST, HE HAS A [4:14] PHONE CALL WITH THE 12, THE BEST [4:16] SCIENTISTS IN THE WORLD ON THIS [4:18] GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH. [4:19] 10 OF THE 12 TELL US THAT THEY [4:22] THINK IT CAME FROM A LABORATORY. [4:23] BUT HE TELLS THE PRESIDENT, HE [4:25] TELLS ALL OF US THAT HE THINKS [4:27] THAT THIS CAME FROM THIS WET [4:29] MARKET. [4:30] SO, HE LIED, HE LIED, AND HE LIED [4:31] AGAIN TO PROTECT HIS OWN [4:33] REPUTATION. [4:34] WELL, I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT I [4:36] DON'T UNDERSTAND. [4:37] I MEAN, IF HE CONTINUALLY LIES [4:39] UNDER OATH, THAT'S A FELONY, AND [4:41] WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY [4:42] ACCOUNTABILITY FOR IT. [4:44] RAND PAUL TOLD ME, HE ESTIMATES [4:46] THAT 15 MILLION PEOPLE DIED, [4:48] APPROXIMATELY, AND THEY ARE [4:50] FAMILIES WANT ANSWERS. [4:52] SO, WHY HAVE WE WATCHED REPEATED [4:54] LIES FROM ANTHONY FAUCI WITH NO [4:55] CONSEQUENCE? [4:56] RIGHT. [4:57] AND BEYOND THAT, 20 MILLION [4:58] AMERICANS STILL HAVE LONG COVID, [4:59] INCLUDING ONE OF MY LOVED ONES. [5:02] SO, THOSE PEOPLE DESERVE [5:03] ANSWERS AS WELL. [5:04] BUT THIS IS WHY I'M CALLING FOR [5:06] A SPECIAL COUNCIL. [5:07] WE NEED TO GET THIS OUT OF [5:08] WASHINGTON, GET THE POLITICS OUT [5:11] OF IT, AND THEN GO BACK AND [5:13] BUILD THIS CASE THAT ANTHONY [5:14] FAUCI, FOR OVER 20 YEARS, [5:16] FUNDED GAIN-OF-FUNCTION [5:17] RESEARCH. [5:18] THEN HE LED THIS COVER-UP AS WELL. [5:20] THEN WE GOT TO GET INTO THE [5:22] AUTOPIN PARTON. [5:23] BY THE WAY, THIS WAS THE AUTOPIN [5:25] PARTON. [5:26] SO, MAYBE HE'S NOT IMMUNE FROM [5:28] WHAT HE SAID IN THE PAST. [5:29] LOOK, THIS GUY IS SLICK. [5:31] HE'S LAWYERED UP. [5:33] I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN THROW [5:35] HIM IN JAIL OVER THIS, BUT I [5:37] THINK THAT CERTAINLY A SPECIAL [5:38] COUNCIL NEEDS TO GET A HOLD OF [5:39] THIS. [5:40] THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN ADDRESS [5:42] THIS IN ONE MORNING HEARING IN [5:43] CONGRESS. [5:44] I MEAN, THEY USED EXTREME [5:46] POSITIONING OF FAUCI TO [5:48] RESHAPE SO MUCH. [5:49] RESHAPE THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT [5:51] A PANDEMIC, HOW TO CARE FOR [5:52] OURSELVES, RESHAPE ELECTION [5:54] LAWS, CHANGING OUTCOMES, AND [5:56] CHINA WAS A BENEFICIAR. [5:58] I MEAN, THERE'S SO MUCH. [6:00] THERE'S SO MUCH. [6:02] SENATOR, DOES THE WHITE HOUSE [6:05] HAVE, HAVE THEY RETRIEVED ANY [6:06] DOCUMENTATION? [6:07] HAVE YOU RETRIEVED ANY [6:09] DOCUMENTATION THAT SHOWS THAT [6:11] FAUCI WAS AWARE? [6:13] THAT JOE BIDEN WAS AWARE? [6:15] AND COULD THE DOJ TEST THE [6:17] VALIDITY OF THAT PARDON? [6:19] RAND PAUL SAYS THAT IT IS SUCH [6:21] AN EXTENSIVE PARDON SIMILAR TO [6:23] THE PARDON THAT HE GAVE HIS [6:25] SON, HUNTER BIDEN, WHICH WE [6:27] ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WITH [6:29] JAMES FREEMAN COMING UP. [6:32] SO, MARIA, THAT'S ALL, IN MY [6:35] OPINION, YES, I THINK THERE IS [6:37] EVIDENCE THAT SHOULD BE [6:38] INVESTIGATED. [6:39] BUT THIS WOULD TAKE A SPECIAL [6:41] COUNSEL TO DIVING ALL OF THEM, [6:43] EVEN JUST THE VALIDITY OF THIS [6:45] AUTOPIN PARDON. [6:46] I UNDERSTAND THAT MAYBE ON SOME [6:48] RULES THAT MAYBE THE PRESIDENT [6:50] DIDN'T HAVE TO SIGN HIM WITH [6:51] HIS OWN PIN. [6:52] BUT THIS AUTOPIN WAS BEING RAN [6:54] BY SOMEBODY ELSE. [6:55] SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE [6:57] THAN I THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE [6:59] THAN I THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE [7:00] THAN I THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE [7:01] THAN SPECIAL COUNSEL UP AND [7:02] RUNNING. [7:03] SPECIAL COUNSEL IS WHAT [7:04] YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. [7:05] REAL QUICK, LET ME GET TO THE [7:07] OTHER PIECES OF BUSINESS HERE. [7:08] YOU HEARD WHAT BRIAN MAST JUST [7:10] SAID, CHAIRMAN OF FOREIGN [7:11] AFFAIRS, THE BALL IS IN THE [7:12] SENATE'S COURT. [7:13] YOU'VE GOT THE CLARITY ACT, [7:15] CONTINUING RESOLUTION, YOU'VE [7:17] GOT THE NDAA, YOU'VE GOT THE [7:19] RECONCILIATION 3.0. [7:20] ARE YOU MOVING ON ANY OF [7:21] THIS? [7:23] WE'RE TRYING TO PUT 20 POUNDS [7:25] OF POTATOES IN A 10-POUND BAG. [7:27] BUT WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE, GET [7:29] AS MUCH DONE AS WE CAN, STARTING [7:30] WITH THE FUNDING OF THE [7:31] GOVERNMENT. [7:32] REMEMBER, CHUCK SCHUMER, BIG [7:34] GOVERNMENT SOCIALISTS, THEY'VE [7:35] SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN THREE [7:36] TIMES ALREADY. [7:37] SO IT'S TIME TO MOVE THAT AND [7:39] HOPE WE'LL GET ON THESE OTHER [7:40] BILLS AS WELL. [7:41] WELL, I MEAN, THE SAVE [7:43] AMERICA ACT IS CRITICAL GOING [7:44] INTO THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS. [7:45] DO YOU THINK THAT THE SAVE [7:47] AMERICA ACT CAN ACTUALLY [7:49] CREATE A SECURE ELECTION FOR THE [7:51] MIDTERMS IN NOVEMBER? [7:52] DO YOU SEE THAT AS A PRIORITY? [7:54] WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR [7:55] COLLEAGUES THAT THEY ARE NOT [7:56] ON BOARD? [7:57] YEAH, MARIA. [7:59] SO CERTAINLY YOU HAVE 50 [8:00] REPUBLICANS THAT WOULD SUPPORT [8:01] SOME VERSION OF THE SAVE ACT. [8:03] BUT IT TAKES 10 DEMOCRATS TO GO [8:05] ALONG WITH US. [8:06] AND THAT'S WHAT WE CAN'T FIND. [8:07] SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO [8:08] WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS. [8:09] I'M ASKING THAT WE STAY IN D.C. [8:11] THOUGH, TILL WE TAKE UP VOTER [8:12] I.D. [8:13] TILL WE TAKE UP PROOP OF [8:14] CITIZENSHIP AND THEN DO SOMETHING [8:16] ELSE WITH THE MAIL-IN BALLOTS. [8:18] SO YOU THINK YOU'LL BE THERE [8:19] NEXT WEEKEND? [8:20] I DO. [8:22] I THINK WE'LL BE DOING GOOD TO [8:24] GET DONE NEXT WEEKEND AT THE [8:25] EARLIEST. [8:26] ALL RIGHT, SENATOR. [8:27] THANKS VERY MUCH FOR BEING [8:28] HERE THIS MORNING. [8:29] WE'LL BE WATCHING YOUR WORK.
