‘LONG PRISON TERM’: Ted Cruz demands Fauci face JAIL TIME

[0:00] WELCOME BACK, FORMER COVID CZAR [0:02] ANTHONY FAUCI FACING A GRILLING [0:04] YESTERDAY FROM THE SENATE HOMELAND [0:06] SECURITY COMMITTEE. [0:07] HE PLEAD THE FIFTH AMENDMENT 111 [0:10] TIMES. [0:11] HE WOULD NOT ANSWER ONE QUESTION [0:13] SURROUNDING THE ORIGINS OF COVID-19 [0:15] AND THE GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE TO [0:16] IT AND HIS RESPONSE. [0:18] JOINING ME NOW IS TEXAS SENATOR [0:21] TED CRUZ, HE'S THE CHAIRMAN OF [0:22] THE SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE. [0:24] SENATOR, GREAT TO SEE YOU. [0:25] THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. [0:26] GOOD MORNING, MARIA. [0:28] GREAT TO BE WITH YOU. [0:29] I WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE ON ALL [0:30] OF THIS. [0:31] FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T UNDERSTAND [0:32] WHY HE HAS TO PLEAD THE FIFTH [0:34] SINCE HE ALREADY HAD IMMUNITY FROM [0:35] THAT PARDON. [0:36] BUT YOU'RE NOW CALLING FOR DR. [0:38] FAUCI TO FACE JAIL TIME. [0:40] TELL US WHAT HAPPENED AND YOUR [0:41] TAKEAWAY. [0:41] WELL, LISTEN, THE REASON HE HAD [0:43] TO PLEAD THE FIFTH IS HIS [0:44] ALTERNATIVE WAS LYING TO [0:46] CONGRESS AND THAT'S SOMETHING [0:47] SADLY DR. FAUCI HAS DONE [0:48] REPEATEDLY. [0:49] WHAT HAS BECOME PUBLIC NOW IS HIS [0:52] PRIVATE DIARIES AND HIS PRIVATE [0:53] DIARIES REVEAL THAT HE WAS LYING TO [0:56] CONGRESS AND LYING TO THE [0:57] AMERICAN PEOPLE DAY AFTER DAY, [0:59] WEEK AFTER WEEK, MONTH AFTER MONTH [1:01] THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COVID PANDEMIC. [1:03] FOR EXAMPLE, IN HIS DIARIES HE [1:06] NOTED IN JANUARY AT THE BEGINNING [1:09] OF THE PANDEMIC THAT IT WAS [1:11] OBVIOUS THAT COVID DID NOT [1:13] ORIGINATE IN THE WET MARKET. [1:14] AND YET HE WENT ON NATIONAL [1:16] TELEVISION. [1:16] HE TOLD CONGRESS COVID CAME FROM [1:18] THE WET MARKET. [1:19] DID NOT COME FROM THE WUHAN [1:20] INSTITUTE FOR VIROLOGY. [1:21] IT WAS NOT A LEAK FROM A CHINESE [1:24] GOVERNMENT LAB. [1:25] NOW, THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT, [1:26] WHICH IS DR. FAUCI WAS [1:28] RESPONSIBLE FOR RELEASING FUNDS [1:30] THAT FUNDED WHAT I BELIEVE WAS [1:32] THE RESEARCH, THE GAIN-OF-FUNCTION [1:34] RESEARCH THAT MODIFIED AND [1:36] CREATED THE COVID VIRUS. [1:37] SO HE WAS COVERING HIS OWN REAR [1:39] END WHEN HE WAS DOING THAT, BUT [1:41] HE WAS DELIBERATELY LYING. [1:43] AND YOU LOOK AT HIS DIARIES ALSO [1:47] THAT SHOWED JUST A MEGALOMANIAC. [1:49] I MEAN, HE WAS JUST, HE DESCRIBED [1:51] HIMSELF AS A ROCKSTAR ON TV. [1:54] HE WAS INTERESTED IN BEING IN TV [1:55] RATHER THAN SAVING PEOPLE'S [1:57] LIVES. [1:57] AND SO HE FACED A CHALLENGE [2:00] BECAUSE, YES, THE PARDON THAT [2:01] JOE BIDEN CORRUPTLY GAVE HIM TO [2:04] COVER UP FROM HIS CRIMINALITY, [2:06] THAT WAS RETROSPECTIVE. [2:07] THAT COVERED PAST CRIMES. [2:09] BUT IF HE WENT TO THE SENATE AND [2:10] LIED AGAIN YESTERDAY, I BELIEVE [2:12] THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WOULD [2:14] PROSECUTE HIM FOR LYING TO [2:15] CONGRESS UNDER OATH. [2:16] AND SO DR. FAUCI WAS NOT WILLING [2:19] TO TELL THE TRUTH THAT HE WAS A [2:20] CRAVEN LIAR WHO DESTROYED JOBS, [2:22] WHO DESTROYED LIVES, WHO DESTROYED [2:24] THE FUTURE OF KIDS. [2:26] ANOTHER LIE THAT HE REVEALED IN [2:28] HIS DIARY IS HE WAS REVELING IN [2:32] CONVINCING DEMOCRATS IN NEW YORK [2:34] AND CALIFORNIA TO SHUT DOWN [2:35] SCHOOLS. [2:36] HE WAS THRILLED THAT HE CONVINCED [2:37] THEM TO SHUT DOWN SCHOOLS. [2:39] AND THEN DR. FAUCI WENT ON TV [2:40] AND SAID, OH, I WASN'T FOR THE [2:41] SHUT DOWN SCHOOLS. [2:42] I DIDN'T URGE ANYONE TO SHUT [2:43] DOWN SCHOOLS. [2:44] THAT WAS A LIE. [2:46] AND, MARIA, I THINK TEN YEARS FROM [2:48] NOW, SOCIAL SCIENTISTS ARE GOING [2:50] TO LOOK BACK AT THE SCHOOL [2:52] SHUTDOWNS DURING THE COVID [2:54] PANDEMIC AND VIEW IT AS THE MOST [2:57] INEXPLICABLE, DISASTROUS PUBLIC [2:59] POLICY DECISION IN MODERN TIMES. [3:02] WE NOW HAVE THE DATA THAT THE [3:04] LEARNING LOSS DUE TO DEMOCRATS [3:05] SHUTTING DOWN SCHOOLS FOR OVER A [3:07] YEAR IS THE HIGHEST THAT HAS EVER [3:12] BEEN RECORDED. [3:12] AND THE RACIAL GAP, THE GAP BETWEEN [3:14] AFRICAN AMERICAN AND WHITE [3:16] STUDENTS, THE GAP BETWEEN HISPANIC [3:16] AND WHITE STUDENTS, GREW MORE [3:18] DUE TO THE DEMOCRATS SHUTDOWNS, [3:20] DUE TO DR. FAUCI'S SHUTDOWNS, [3:22] DEMOCRATS SHUTDOWNS, DEMOCRATS [3:24] SHUTDOWNS, DEMOCRATS SHUTDOWNS, [3:25] DEMOCRATS SHUTDOWNS, DEMOCRATS [3:26] SHUTDOWNS, DEMOCRATS SHUTDOWNS [3:27] THAN IT EVER HAS IN THE HISTORY [3:28] OF AMERICA. [3:29] THAT'S WHY HE PLEADED THE FIFTH [3:30] BECAUSE HE COULDN'T DEFEND HIS [3:31] OWN CONDUCT. [3:32] THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE. [3:33] BUT YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU'RE [3:34] SAYING THIS MORNING IN TERMS OF [3:35] HOW HE LIED REPEATEDLY, RAND PAUL [3:36] SAID THAT ALSO. [3:37] I HAD HIM ON JUST LAST WEEK AND [3:38] HE SAID THE SAME THING. [3:39] IT'S NOT PUNISHABLE THAT HE [3:40] KEEPS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. [3:41] I MEAN, SENATOR, ISN'T LYING TO [3:43] CONGRESS A FELONY? [3:44] AND YET WHERE'S THE [3:45] ACCOUNTABILITY HERE? [3:46] AND THEN I'VE GOT TO ASK YOU IN [3:48] TERMS OF YOUR OWN LEGAL [3:49] ANALYSIS, IS THAT PARDON [3:51] LEGITIMATE? [3:52] IF IT WAS DONE BY THE AUTOPED, [3:54] COULD IT BE CHALLENGED? [3:55] WELL, LET'S TAKE THAT ONE AT [3:58] A TIME. [3:59] YES, LYING TO CONGRESS IS A [4:01] FELONY. [4:02] IT IS A FELONY PUNISHABLE BY A [4:04] LONG PRISON TERM. [4:05] THE REASON HE WASN'T [4:06] PROSECUTED IS BECAUSE JOE BIDEN [4:11] AND THE DEMOCRATS AGREED WITH [4:12] HIS LIES. [4:13] THEY WANTED HIM TO LIE. [4:15] THEY'VE ELEVATED HIM TO THE [4:17] POSITION OF FOLK HERO. [4:19] I TWEETED OUT YESTERDAY, [4:21] JAMES TALERICO, THE EXTREME [4:23] LEFT-WING DEMOCRAT RUNNING FOR [4:24] SENATE IN TEXAS, HE TWEETED OUT [4:26] AT ONE POINT THIS ACTION FIGURE. [4:28] HE HAD DR. FAUCI AS THIS [4:30] SUPERHERO. [4:31] I DID HAVE TO ASK, GOSH, IF YOU [4:33] PUSH THE LEVER, DOES IT PLEAD [4:35] THE DEMOCRATS. [4:36] THE DEMOCRATS, THEY WANTED HIM [4:38] TO LIE. [4:39] THEY AGREED WITH HIS LIE. [4:40] WHY? [4:41] BECAUSE LET'S TAKE THE SCHOOL [4:42] SHUTDOWNS. [4:43] YOU HAVE RANDY WEINGARTEN, THE [4:45] RADICAL LEFT-WING PRESIDENT OF [4:46] ONE OF THE BIGGEST TEACHERS [4:47] UNIONS WHO WAS FOR THE [4:48] SHUTDOWNS AND WAS ADVOCATING [4:49] FOR THE SHUTDOWNS. [4:50] UNDERSTAND, THE DEMOCRAT PARTY [4:53] DID NOT GIVE A DAMN THAT THEY [4:55] WERE HURTING KIDS. [4:56] THEY DIDN'T CARE AT ALL BECAUSE [4:58] FOR THEM IT'S ABOUT POWER AND [5:00] STAYING IN POWER. [5:01] SO HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN [5:02] PROSECUTED ON YOUR QUESTION IF [5:05] THE PARDON IS VALID, THAT IS AN [5:07] UNDECIDED LEGAL QUESTION. [5:08] I THINK THERE'S A REAL [5:09] ARGUMENT. [5:10] SO CONSTITUTIONALLY, THE [5:14] DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS, THE [5:16] OFFICE OF LEGAL COUNCIL HAS [5:17] DETERMINED THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT [5:19] NEED TO PHYSICALLY SIGN A PARDON [5:20] TO MAKE IT VALID. [5:21] HE CAN DIRECT THAT IT BE SIGNED [5:23] AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE [5:25] HAS SAID THAT IS VALID. [5:26] THE REAL QUESTION ON THE AUTO [5:28] PENS IS, DID JOE BIDEN HAVE ANY [5:29] AWARENESS? [5:30] YOU KNOW, OF ALL THE PARDONS [5:32] HE SIGNED AT THE END, DO YOU [5:34] KNOW THE ONE THAT HE HAND SIGNED? [5:36] THAT WOULD BE HIS SON HUNTER [5:37] BIDEN. [5:38] IT WAS THE ONLY ONE HE HAND [5:39] SIGNED. [5:40] AND I HAVE PUBLICLY CALLED ON MY [5:42] PODCAST VERDICT WITH TED CRUZ [5:44] FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE [5:46] AND THE WHITE HOUSE TO EXAMINE [5:47] IS THERE ANY PAPER TRAIL [5:49] INDICATING THAT JOE BIDEN [5:51] AUTHORIZED THE PARDON OF FAUCI [5:52] THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE [5:54] WILL BRING A PROSECUTION AND [5:55] MAKE THE LEGAL ARGUMENT THAT A [5:57] WHITE HOUSE STAFFER TRYING TO [5:58] COVER UP EVERY DEMOCRAT [5:59] HENCHMEN WHICH AND THE PARDONS [6:01] BIDEN ISSUED WERE VAST AND [6:02] UNPRECEDENT INCLUDING TO HIS [6:04] ENTIRE FAMILY WERE NOT VALID IF [6:07] THE PRESIDENT DID NOT HIMSELF [6:08] DIRECTLY AUTHORIZE IT. [6:09] UNBELIEVABLE. [6:10] THIS IS JUST EXTRAORDINARY. [6:11] I WANT TO GET TO OTHER [6:13] TOPICS BECAUSE I SAW YOU ON YOUR [6:15] PODCAST TALKING ABOUT MAMDANI [6:18] AND TALKING ABOUT ALL OF THESE [6:20] RADICAL LEFTIES THAT I WANT TO [6:21] GET YOUR TAKE ON. [6:22] I ALSO HAVE TO GET YOUR TAKE ON [6:25] WHAT CAN GET DONE. [6:26] PRESIDENT TRUMP IS KEEPING THE [6:28] PRESSURE ON JOHN THOON, URGING [6:30] HIM TO STAY IN SESSION UNTIL [6:32] THE SAVE AMERICA ACT IS PASSED [6:34] AROUND A DOZEN REPUBLICAN [6:36] SENATORS SAY THEY ARE WILLING TO [6:38] STAY IN WASHINGTON AND WORK [6:40] THROUGH RECESS UNTIL THE ELECTION [6:42] INTEGRITY BILL PASSES. [6:43] SENATOR, YOU SAID THE SENATE [6:45] SHOULD DO ANYTHING AND [6:46] EVERYTHING INCLUDING WORKING [6:48] THROUGH AUGUST RECESS TO GET [6:50] THAT DONE. [6:51] YOU HAVE SEVEN LEGISLATIVE DAYS [6:53] TO DO SO. [6:54] WE JUST SAW IN NEW JERSEY 6,600 [6:56] ILLEGALS REGISTERED TO VOTE. [6:58] THE GOVERNOR, MIKEY SHERRELL [6:59] TOLD US HUNDREDS OF THEM ACTUALLY [7:01] DID VOTE. [7:02] DO YOU THINK YOU CAN GET THE SAVE [7:04] AMERICA ACT OVER THE FINISH [7:05] LINE BEFORE THE RECESS OR BEFORE [7:07] THE MIDTERMS EVEN? [7:09] LOOK, WE HAVE TO DO [7:11] EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO [7:12] PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. [7:13] I'VE BEEN MAKING THE ARGUMENT [7:15] TO MY COLLEAGUES, WE NEED TO [7:16] GET THIS PASSED TO PRESERVE [7:18] ELECTION INTEGRITY TO STOP [7:19] RAMPANT VOTER FRAUD. [7:20] AS YOU NOTED, OVER 6,000 [7:22] ILLEGAL VOTERS REGISTERED IN [7:23] NEW JERSEY. [7:24] THE DEMOCRATS, THAT'S HOW THEY [7:25] STAY IN POWER. [7:26] YOU LOOK AT THE DEBACLE IN [7:27] CALIFORNIA, THEY MAY STILL BE [7:29] COUNTING VOTES IN CALIFORNIA. [7:30] DEMOCRATS WANT ILLEGAL ALIENS TO [7:32] VOTE. [7:33] THAT'S WHY THEY OPPOSED THE SAVE [7:35] AMERICA ACT. [7:36] WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING [7:37] HUMANLY POSSIBLE. [7:38] WHAT I'VE BEEN ARGUING TO MY [7:39] COLLEAGUES IS WE NEED TO FORCE [7:41] THE DEMOCRATS TO DO A TALKING [7:42] FILIBUSTER. [7:43] NOT JUST RAISE A FINGER AND SAY [7:45] I FILIBUSTERED, BUT STAND UP AND [7:48] TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK. [7:50] THINK JIMMY STEWART IN MR. SMITH [7:52] GOES TO WASHINGTON. [7:53] OR REMEMBER BACK TO THE 21 HOURS [7:56] THAT I FILIBUSTERED ON THE SENATE [7:58] FLOOR AGAINST THE DISASTER THAT [8:00] WAS OBAMACARE. [8:01] WE NEED TO MAKE THE DEMOCRATS DO [8:03] THAT UNTIL THEY CAN TALK NO LONGER. [8:05] AND THEN WE SHOULD PASS THE [8:07] SAVE AMERICA ACT. [8:08] ABSOLUTELY WE SHOULD STAY HERE [8:10] THROUGH AUGUST. [8:11] WE SHOULD KEEP GOING ON THE [8:13] WE SHOULD KEEP GOING UNTIL WE [8:16] GET IT DONE. [8:17] AND LOOK, IT'S A REAL PRESS. [8:19] DO WE GET 50 REPUBLICANS TO STAND [8:21] TOGETHER? [8:22] I AM FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAILE TO [8:24] MAKE THAT HAPPEN. [8:25] I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE PRESIDENT [8:26] FIGHTING. [8:27] WE NEED TO GET THIS DONE. [8:28] YEAH. [8:29] AND REAL QUICK ON YOUR PODCAST [8:30] YESTERDAY YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS [8:32] RADICAL LEFT LIST. [8:33] YEAH. [8:34] THAT IS NOT JUST GOING AFTER [8:36] BILLIONAIRES. [8:37] HE DOXED NEARLY A MILLION NEW [8:39] YORKERS. [8:40] HE PUT THEIR NAMES IN THAT LIST [8:42] HOMES TO BE UNDER REVIEW. [8:44] I THOUGHT IT WAS A $5 MILLION [8:46] CAP. [8:47] AND NOW HE'S PUTTING PEOPLE IN [8:49] THERE THAT HAVE HOMES THAT ARE [8:50] VALUED AT 1 MILLION. [8:51] I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT [8:52] LIST WAS ABOUT YESTERDAY, [8:53] SENATOR. [8:54] LOOK, THAT LIST WAS ABOUT [8:55] PERSECUTING AND ATTACKING [8:57] THOSE HE VIEWS AS HIS POLITICAL [8:58] ENEMY. [8:59] THAT WAS A LIST. [9:00] HE DOXED NEARLY A MILLION [9:01] NEW YORKERS. [9:02] THE INTENTION WAS TO HAVE [9:04] RADICAL LEFT-WING ACTIVISTS [9:05] HARASSED THEM, ATTACKED THEM, [9:07] AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS AN [9:08] INVITATION TO PHYSICAL VIOLENCE. [9:09] WE ARE GOING TO SEE TRAGICALLY, [9:12] YOU LOOK AT THE LEFTIST WHO [9:14] CELEBRATED WHEN THE UNITED [9:15] HEALTHCARE CEO WAS SHOT ON THE [9:16] STREETS. [9:17] YOU HAVE IDIOT MARXISTS WHO [9:19] WEAR T-SHIRTS WITH THE MURDERER [9:20] ON IT. [9:21] YOU HAVE IDIOT MARXISTS WHO HAVE [9:23] TATTOOS OF THE MURDERER ON IT. [9:25] AND LOOK, MONDAMI, I THINK IT'S [9:28] IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO [9:29] UNDERSTAND. [9:30] THIS MAN IS NOT MERELY A SOCIALIST [9:33] WHICH IS BAD ENOUGH. [9:35] HE IS A MARXIST. [9:36] HE IS A FULL-ON COMMUNIST. [9:38] AND THIS IS WHAT COMMUNISTS DO. [9:40] LOOK, AS YOU KNOW, MY FAMILY [9:41] CAME FROM CUBA. [9:42] COMMUNISM IS NOT THEORETICAL. [9:44] IT'S NOT ABSTRACT. [9:45] MY FAMILY WAS IMPRISONED AND [9:47] TORTURED BY COMMUNISTS. [9:48] AND I THINK AMERICA'S LARGEST [9:50] CITY GOVERNED BY A RADICAL [9:52] COMMUNIST WHO IS PERSECUTING HIS [9:53] ENEMIES, THAT'S REALLY [9:54] DANGEROUS. [9:55] UNBELIEVABLE. [9:56] ALL RIGHT. [9:57] WE'VE GOT SOME ECONOMIC DATA TO [9:58] GET TO THAT'S JUST BREAKING. [9:59] WE SO APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS [10:00] MORNING, SENATOR. [10:01] THANK YOU. [10:02] THANKS, MARIA. [10:03] ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU, [10:05] SENATOR TED CRUZ. [10:06] AND OUR CONDOLENCES TO YOUR DEAR [10:08] FRIEND, LINDSAY GRAHAM. [10:09] THANK YOU, SIR.
