Lefties Losing It: Fauci’s worst moments at Senate hearing

[0:00] Now it's time for Lefties Losing It. [0:03] And before we dive into the cowardice of Anthony Fauci, [0:06] let's hear from an actress who is just awful these days. [0:10] Much is said about her appearance. [0:12] I've got to say, we don't care on this program about how much [0:15] ozempic she has or doesn't have or what she looks like. [0:20] What we care about is what's on the inside. [0:23] And Olivia Wilde has gone from being regular Hollywood kooky [0:27] to being a heartless Harrodin. [0:30] Let's take a look at the good old days where she was just weird. [0:34] Here she is chanting at Trump's building like a simpleton. [0:37] Trump is not a legitimate president! [0:40] Trump is not a legitimate president! [0:43] Trump is not America! [0:45] Trump is not America! [0:47] Oh, the good old days of election denial. [0:50] She peaked there. [0:51] Now she is just deeply unpleasant, full of bile and delusional, [0:56] and she thinks she is intellectually and morally superior. [1:00] Listen to her talk about a man who is, by any objective measure, a genius. [1:06] Have you met Elon Musk? [1:08] I have. [1:09] I met him before he turned into this creature. [1:17] I really resent him now. [1:18] I never would have predicted that he would go the path that he's gone now [1:23] because he did seem really smart. [1:25] Oh, it gets worse. [1:26] It gets a lot worse. [1:27] Listen to how she and Louis Theroux, you know him, [1:30] he's the dumb person's idea of a smart person. [1:33] Listen to these two call Jordan Peterson a pseudo-intellectual [1:38] and then mock and dismiss the plight of young men. [1:42] I was quite harsh about Jordan Peterson, [1:44] and then he went on Piers Morgan and cried. [1:46] You said the Chris Pine character, [1:48] he's partly based on or inspired by Jordan Peterson, [1:52] who you described as a pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community. [1:55] Yeah. [1:56] So when he's asked about it by Piers Morgan, [1:58] he literally starts crying. [2:00] He starts crying. [2:01] And then Piers was like, what's happening, man? [2:04] And he goes, he said, I'm thinking of those lonely young men, [2:07] quote, dying for lack of an encouraging word. [2:10] Wow. [2:12] Lack of an encouraging word is so absurd. [2:16] I'd say there is a large, booming word of encouragement [2:22] happening at all time for these men, [2:24] which is just, this world is yours and you are entitled to it, [2:28] which I think is deeply ingrained in our society. [2:32] And the idea that they need some sort of reminder of encouragement, [2:35] that they deserve more, is ludicrous. [2:39] What a heartless creature, to use her term, [2:42] a heartless creature full of hate and somehow so boldly confident, [2:48] despite her meagre knowledge. [2:50] Arrogance and ignorance is a dangerous, ugly mixture. [2:54] Now, Olivia, despite meeting Elon Musk, [2:56] receiving money from him for a charitable cause, [2:58] is still disgusted by him because, like most of America, [3:03] he backed Donald Trump over the Democrats. [3:05] And that slander and unhinged hate for Musk [3:08] isn't confined to lefties in the US. [3:11] The Brits are arguably even worse. [3:13] Some of them want to lock him up for protecting free speech [3:16] by purchasing Twitter and actually allowing it to be [3:20] an unbiased social media platform. [3:23] But standing up for free speech comes at a cost. [3:26] It makes you a pariah in much of the media [3:29] and it also makes you far-right. [3:31] You support not just the populist right, but the far-right. [3:34] In fact, very fringe parties in some countries. [3:36] No, I support the normal people. [3:38] What you call the far-right, falsely. [3:40] You think it's the normal person. [3:42] Okay. [3:42] Yes. [3:43] Literally, you could go back 10 or 15 years [3:46] and these policies were completely normal. [3:50] Not fringe right, please. [3:52] It's actually just normal people. [3:54] It's just normal people. [3:55] It's just normal people. [3:56] And here are the principles. [3:59] And tell me, which of these sound terrible? [4:01] That we should have secure borders? [4:03] That we should have safe cities? [4:06] That we should have sensible spending? [4:08] Which of those three are far-right fringe? [4:11] And I would like to just admonish you and the media [4:16] for the absurd characterization of the far-right. [4:21] It is false and misleading and nonsense. [4:24] Please keep this part in. [4:26] We'll keep all of this in. [4:27] Bravo, Elon. [4:29] But the Economist editor-in-chief, Zannie Minton-Bedos, [4:32] wasn't done yet. [4:34] She was determined to show just how smug [4:37] and proudly out of touch the media has become. [4:40] And Elon was there, ready to give her a reality check. [4:44] It's why people loathe you. [4:47] I mean, some people do loathe you. [4:48] Yes, some people do. [4:49] But do you understand why? [4:51] Do you think what you're doing is helpful [4:52] for Western democracy? [4:53] Maybe some people do loathe me. [4:56] And that's probably true. [4:57] I don't care. [4:58] But the fact that, as you pointed out, [5:04] a quarter billion people follow me [5:06] is that I think a lot more people actually like me [5:08] than don't. [5:10] And I think a lot more people hate you and the media [5:13] more than you realize. [5:15] Yes, the media, bulk of the media, [5:17] is loathe for good reason. [5:20] And most of them, like Zannie there, are oblivious. [5:23] You're loathe far more than I am. [5:26] And you don't seem to even realize that. [5:27] I think very few people know who I am [5:29] relative to you. [5:29] So I don't think I play in the same game. [5:31] The media, collectively. [5:33] So, I mean, you're hated. [5:38] Do you even know that? [5:40] You probably don't. [5:41] Now to the astonishing Senate hearing earlier today [5:44] featuring former chief U.S. health official [5:47] Anthony Fauci. [5:48] Me, the fifth. [5:50] The fifth. [5:55] One, two, three, four. [5:56] You say, ask me a question. [6:01] Did you have a secret document [6:04] that I think you need to say? [6:07] You know, I'm sorry to say, [6:09] the real thing was even worse. [6:11] This malignant little megalomaniac [6:14] was granted a pre-emptive presidential pardon [6:16] and yet he declined to answer any questions, [6:20] invoking the Fifth Amendment 111 times. [6:24] That was too much for Senator Bernie Moreno. [6:27] Those policies were put in place [6:31] because you had moronic politicians [6:34] that listened to the words of a megalomaniac [6:38] who was more interested in having met a Kardashian [6:43] than the suffering of the American people. [6:46] And that is you. [6:47] It was about six years ago today [6:49] that I decided I'm going to give up my businesses, [6:53] sell them all, run for office, [6:56] run through the United States Senate. [6:57] Here I am sitting in front of you six years later [7:00] saying, who the do you think you were for doing that? [7:02] It is a total disgrace what you did to this country. [7:09] Now, watch here as Senator Josh Hawley [7:12] rips into this shameless little charlatan. [7:15] You may need a cigarette after this. [7:17] Well, nothing says honesty like taking the Fifth, huh, Doc? [7:20] Let's try something. [7:23] What day of the week is it today? [7:29] On the advice of counsel, [7:31] I respectfully decline to answer [7:32] based upon my rights [7:34] under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [7:35] What color is the carpet in front of you? [7:47] On the advice of counsel, [7:53] I respectfully decline to answer [7:55] based upon my rights [7:56] under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [7:59] Let's just get one thing straight. [8:00] You don't have any rights under the Fifth Amendment [8:01] because you've been pardoned. [8:03] As you very well know, [8:05] as the Supreme Court has been clear [8:06] for a century and more, [8:08] Brown v. Walker, 1896, [8:10] when he has been pardoned, [8:12] he may not stand upon his privilege. [8:15] You know that. [8:16] Your lawyers sitting behind you [8:17] now shifting nervously in their chairs. [8:19] They know it. [8:20] This isn't about the Constitution. [8:21] This isn't about the law. [8:22] This is about contempt. [8:24] Contempt for this body [8:25] and contempt for the American people. [8:27] Oh, nailed it. [8:29] Nailed it. [8:30] And then Senator Hawley [8:32] took Fauci through some of his actions [8:34] during the height of the COVID pandemic. [8:36] I think I know why you're doing it. [8:38] It's because you don't want to answer questions. [8:41] It's because you did all kinds of terrible things. [8:45] It's because during the pandemic, [8:46] you got rich, didn't you? [8:49] You got rich while people were dying, [8:52] hundreds of thousands of Americans, [8:54] over a million in the end, [8:55] and you were getting rich. [8:56] And not only were you doing that, [8:58] you were using federal employees [9:00] with taxpayer money [9:02] to apply for and solicit cash prizes [9:05] for you personally. [9:08] Cash prizes totaling over a million dollars. [9:11] You did all of that during the pandemic, [9:14] didn't you? [9:16] That's a question. [9:18] On the advice of counsel, [9:19] I respectfully declined to answer [9:21] based upon my rights [9:22] under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [9:24] You remember Greg Fulkers? [9:26] Who was that? [9:28] On the advice of counsel, [9:30] I respectfully declined to answer [9:31] based upon my rights [9:32] under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [9:34] Your chief of staff is the answer. [9:36] Do you remember Patricia Conrad? [9:38] Who was that? [9:40] On the advice of counsel, [9:41] I respectfully declined to answer [9:43] based upon my rights [9:44] under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [9:46] And it wasn't just Fauci acting a fool. [9:48] His lawyers were also [9:50] deliberately obstructing proceedings. [9:53] The attorneys are not recognized. [9:55] In fact, the attorney was told [9:56] not to sit at the table, [9:58] and he's not obeying that recommendation. [10:00] There's a rope behind you, sir. [10:01] That's where you were told to sit, [10:03] and you're not. [10:04] And now you're disrupting the proceedings. [10:05] And so, look, [10:07] this is the way Anthony Fauci [10:08] wants to be remembered. [10:09] For a lawyer not listening to the rules, [10:12] that's the way you want to be remembered, [10:13] and that's what you're going to do. [10:15] You are not recognized, sir. [10:19] Security, please remove him from the room. [10:30] Let the record state [10:31] that Dr Fauci will still have the advice [10:34] of the other half a dozen attorneys [10:36] that he brought along today. [10:37] Half a dozen attorneys [10:39] just to plead the Fifth, [10:41] 111 times. [10:42] Joining me now is documentary filmmaker [10:48] and commentator Ami Horowitz. [10:50] Ami, I've played some highlights [10:52] or lowlights of today's Senate hearing [10:55] featuring Dr Anthony Fauci. [10:57] What did you make of what you've seen so far? [11:02] Yeah, that was a dumpster fire for sure. [11:05] I mean, it's unbelievable [11:08] that in this day and age, [11:10] we're still trying to figure out [11:13] what's going on, right, with COVID. [11:16] I mean, how many years has this taken [11:18] and we still don't have the full truth? [11:21] And we won't get the full truth from him, [11:23] obviously, because he invoked [11:25] the Fifth Amendment 111 times. [11:29] It's unbelievable. [11:32] It is unbelievable, [11:33] and yet the Republican senators [11:36] are pressing on. [11:38] Let's hear from Senator Ted Cruz, [11:39] who wants to see Anthony Fauci behind bars. [11:43] Anthony Fauci has had contempt for Congress [11:47] and contempt for the American people [11:49] for decades. [11:50] His diary shows that he deliberately [11:53] lied to the American people [11:55] over and over and over again. [11:57] In his diary, he wrote early on [11:59] that it was clear that the COVID virus [12:03] did not come from the wet market in Wuhan. [12:06] And then he turned around [12:07] and said exactly the opposite thing [12:09] on national television. [12:11] And in his diary, he brags [12:13] about convincing Democrats [12:15] in New York and California [12:16] to shut schools down. [12:19] And yet he goes on TV and says, [12:20] oh, I wouldn't for shutdowns. [12:21] That level of contempt and dishonesty [12:25] is disgraceful. [12:28] He should be held in contempt. [12:30] He should be prosecuted for perjury. [12:32] And he should go to jail. [12:33] Now, Ami, what are the chances [12:35] that he will be found in contempt [12:37] and face any sort of penalty [12:39] given that preemptive pardon [12:41] Joe Biden gave him? [12:43] Under the advice of counsel, [12:45] I am taking the Fifth Amendment [12:47] of the Constitution of the United States. [12:49] But I don't self-incriminate myself, Rita. [12:53] Look, it's crazy to watch, right? [12:57] Especially like, look, [12:58] a lot of this is theatrics, right? [13:00] And performative. [13:00] I really don't like that part of it. [13:02] But it does make for fun television. [13:04] You know, what color is your tie? [13:05] I take the fifth. [13:06] What color is the carpet? [13:07] I take the fifth. [13:07] Those are not made up things. [13:08] Those are actual questions [13:09] that were asked to see [13:10] if you even say that. [13:11] Look, technically, [13:13] he could be brought up [13:15] on contempt charges. [13:19] In reality, [13:20] it's not really going to happen, Rita. [13:22] Senator Paul has actually scheduled [13:24] a contempt hearing for next week. [13:26] It's going to pass [13:27] the committee level, [13:29] because all you need there [13:29] is a majority. [13:30] But in reality, [13:31] it's not going to pass [13:32] the full Senate, [13:33] because you need a filibuster-proof [13:34] majority of 60 votes. [13:36] Republicans simply don't have it. [13:37] Secondly, [13:38] the last time the Senate [13:40] actually voted [13:41] for somebody in contempt, [13:42] I was in utero. [13:44] And as you can see, [13:45] that was a very long time ago. [13:47] You know, [13:48] as far as the other charges go, [13:49] obviously, [13:50] he was pardoned, right, [13:51] pre-pardoned by Biden, [13:53] which, by the way, [13:53] is so bizarre. [13:55] I mean, [13:55] that just tells you [13:56] something was amiss. [13:58] But remember, [14:00] pardons from the president [14:01] don't cover [14:02] state-level charges. [14:04] Yes. [14:05] And states can bring charges, [14:07] and we already see that, [14:08] for example, [14:08] Florida is kind of [14:10] setting up to do this. [14:12] So we'll see what happens. [14:14] I mean, [14:14] I think there needs to be [14:15] a very high bar [14:16] to prove that he did something [14:18] that was worthy [14:20] of going to prison. [14:21] But look, [14:22] there's a lot of smoke [14:23] out there, right? [14:24] I'm not saying the fire is there, [14:26] but it kind of, [14:27] sort of looks like that. [14:29] I got to tell you, [14:30] though, [14:30] but this whole thing [14:31] with the diary, [14:33] God, [14:33] it's so, [14:34] he's so thirsty, Rita. [14:36] I don't keep a diary [14:38] for exactly this reason. [14:40] I'm not looking [14:40] for my dirty laundry [14:41] to put out there. [14:42] Also, [14:42] it's kind of girly. [14:44] I also learned [14:46] a couple of new things. [14:47] I did not know [14:48] that Anthony Fauci [14:49] is worth $12 million. [14:53] Rita, [14:54] that's a lot of cabbage. [14:56] Jeez. [14:58] And yet, [14:58] the whole thing, [14:59] it's just that he, [15:00] look, [15:00] I think the worst, [15:01] honestly, [15:02] the worst thing [15:03] about all of this [15:04] is that he destroyed [15:06] the trust [15:07] the American people [15:08] have in our scientific community. [15:11] And while that cost us [15:13] hundreds of thousands, [15:14] in this case, [15:15] millions of lives, [15:16] I'm afraid [15:17] that that's even [15:18] going to be [15:19] a drop in the bucket [15:19] compared to something [15:20] that's going to be [15:21] so overwhelmingly bad. [15:23] And we're just not [15:24] going to believe [15:24] what they're saying [15:25] because they refuse [15:26] to tell us the truth. [15:27] I think that's the worst part [15:28] of all of this, [15:29] to be honest. [15:29] Absolutely. [15:32] I just think [15:32] he is a coward. [15:34] The fact that he does [15:35] have this pre-emptive pardon [15:37] and he still is [15:38] taking the fifth, [15:40] refusing to answer [15:40] the most straightforward [15:41] questions, [15:42] refusing to take [15:43] any accountability, [15:45] not provide [15:46] any transparency, [15:47] really, [15:48] it really is [15:48] quite shameful. [15:50] Now, [15:50] I want to move [15:51] on to some footage [15:52] you shot yourself [15:53] recently, [15:55] testing how left [15:56] or conservative [15:57] black students are [15:59] and the results [16:01] shocked many, [16:02] including the [16:03] students themselves. [16:04] And nearly 90% [16:05] of black people [16:06] have voted for [16:07] the Democratic Party [16:08] over the years. [16:09] But do their ideals [16:10] mask their voting patterns? [16:12] Should parents have [16:13] more control [16:14] over education [16:14] or should the government [16:16] have more control [16:16] over education? [16:17] Parents. [16:17] Parents. [16:19] Parents. [16:19] Parents. [16:21] Parents. [16:21] The government. [16:22] Probably government. [16:23] Okay. [16:24] They have money [16:25] and stuff like that. [16:26] Now, [16:27] Ami, [16:27] you ask 10 questions [16:28] around all sorts [16:30] of issues, [16:30] economic issues, [16:32] climate change, [16:33] social issues. [16:35] I'm going to play [16:35] a clip here [16:36] of how these students [16:38] who see themselves [16:39] as Democrat, [16:41] how socially conservative [16:43] some of them are. [16:44] Should we generally [16:44] have more policing [16:45] or less policing? [16:50] If it's effective [16:50] policing more. [16:51] Have more policing? [16:52] I would say more policing. [16:54] Should we allow children [16:55] to medically transition? [16:56] No. [16:57] I think we should wait [16:59] until they, like, [17:01] they know more. [17:02] Everybody, [17:03] get a decision. [17:04] Do what you're doing [17:04] with your body. [17:04] Okay. [17:05] Hell no. [17:07] Hell no. [17:08] You don't need [17:08] to think about that? [17:08] Hell no. [17:09] I didn't even think [17:09] about that one. [17:10] Should we allow males [17:11] who transition to females [17:13] compete against women [17:14] in sports? [17:15] Yes. [17:17] No. [17:17] I'd say no. [17:18] Should we allow males [17:19] who transition to [17:20] hell no? [17:22] No, that's not fair. [17:22] Like the Leah Thomas, [17:24] you know, situation. [17:25] Yeah, no, not at all. [17:26] He was, like, [17:26] 500 with the males [17:27] and then number one [17:28] with the women. [17:28] Dominate. [17:29] Yeah, it's ridiculous. [17:30] There are physiological [17:31] differences between males [17:32] and males and people. [17:34] And when you tallied [17:35] up the results, [17:36] you found that [17:37] despite black Americans, [17:38] as you said, [17:39] voting 90% Democrat, [17:42] no other demographic [17:43] comes close to that [17:45] for either side [17:46] of politics. [17:48] Despite that record, [17:49] this is how [17:50] the young black students [17:51] you spoke to [17:52] aligned politically. [17:53] Republican, Republican, [17:57] Republican, Republican, [17:59] Democrat, Republican, [18:01] Republican, Republican. [18:04] That's a big R. [18:05] Yo! [18:05] That's a big R. [18:06] Yo! [18:07] That's a big R. [18:08] That's a big R. [18:09] Republican, Republican, [18:10] Republican, Republican. [18:13] You are 60% Republican. [18:16] You are also 60% Republican. [18:18] You are more Republican [18:19] than Democrat. [18:22] 70? [18:23] Whoa, wow. [18:23] You are 70% Republican. [18:26] Hmm. [18:26] 60% Republican. [18:27] You are 60% Republican. [18:30] You are 70% Republican and 30% Democrat. [18:35] That's crazy. [18:36] You are 80% Republican. [18:37] I think I might be Republican. [18:40] You might be Republican. [18:41] That's the people that help themselves, right? [18:42] Yeah, correct. [18:44] I mean, we can help ourselves. [18:45] Harmi, some of them seem genuinely shocked. [18:49] What did they say to you off camera? [18:51] Were they upset at all by your findings? [18:55] Rita, I can't help but smile every time I watch that video. [19:00] I've seen it a thousand times. [19:02] It's so sweet. [19:03] It's so genuine. [19:04] You see the react. [19:05] The best part was their reactions, right? [19:08] No, everyone loved it. [19:10] Everyone was shocked. [19:12] Everyone said, I can't wait to start telling my friends about this, okay? [19:18] Despite the talking. [19:20] Look, by the way, the things that they were saying [19:22] were like Republican talking points. [19:25] Like, aren't those the people who want them to help themselves? [19:28] I guess we could, you know, it's amazing. [19:30] Look, the dirty little secret is that black people are really conservative, right? [19:35] I mean, they have the highest belief in God than any demographic in this country. [19:41] And they, yes, they have very deep conservative, cultural, social beliefs and those policies. [19:50] And I think that's the problem with the Republican Party. [19:52] We have not done a good enough job to capture that. [19:56] I think that's available for us. [19:58] And by the way, the Democrats are doing themselves no favors with the emergence of the DSA. [20:03] 4% of the DSA membership are black. [20:08] It's, again, 13% of the overall population. [20:12] They don't agree with their cultural policy. [20:14] They don't agree with their policies on police. [20:16] You and I have talked about video after video I've done about voter ID and defund the police and bail reform. [20:24] And in each and every time, when confronted with both sides, they almost always agree with the conservative-slash-Republican side. [20:34] And, look, and Trump has shown this electorally. [20:36] He doubled his vote, his tally, from the first time he ran. [20:41] And I think that's a constituency the Republicans have to go after. [20:45] And, by the way, they essentially are the ones who choose the Democratic nominee because everything goes through South Carolina, a bunch of black states early. [20:53] And that's why Comrade Bernie lost it, because South Carolina, the black vote, said, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, you're too nuts. [21:00] So, the Democratic Party, learn a lesson, please. [21:03] Or don't. [21:03] Absolutely. [21:06] You're so right. [21:07] I think the same true is for migrant communities. [21:10] Many migrant communities that have traditionally voted Democrat, a lot of them have come over to the Republican side because they are socially conservative. [21:19] And the Democrats have become so radical in some of these areas that people just have to change their voting patterns, even if they've voted that way all their lives. [21:29] Now, before you go, I don't have much time, but I'm interested in your take on the Minnesota story. [21:35] Where else but Minnesota? [21:36] Governor Tim Walz, famous for being Kamala's running mate and putting tampons in boys' locker rooms. [21:42] Now, we have another first for Minnesota, with schools and hospitals providing dolls with removable genitals to children as young as four. [21:52] Army, this is to allow them to express their sexual identities. [21:57] Is this necessary? [21:59] I remind that song, detachable penis. [22:02] This, yeah, sorry, that was, I'm sorry, I had to say, I had to go, look, it shocks me that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are not president and vice president right now, right? [22:16] Talk about the black vote. [22:18] Yeah, this is the kind of stuff, particularly black men, are not really down with. [22:23] It's nuts. [22:24] Look, real quick, the most interesting thing about this, I looked this up on Google and I said, what's going on with this? [22:30] And every single mainstream media site and the fact checkers said, there's no mandate for this. [22:37] That's a straw man argument. [22:39] No one's saying there's a mandate for schools. [22:41] It is made available to schools. [22:43] They know that. [22:44] They're making up an entire argument which does not exist. [22:48] Of course it's true. [22:49] Of course it's being made available to four to ten-year-olds. [22:52] And that's no bueno, guys. [22:57] Amir Horowitz, always a pleasure. [22:59] Pleasure is what?
