Fauci Is Losing - November 30th, Hour 3
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
When news broke earlier this year that baby KJ, a newborn in Philadelphia, had successfully received the world's first personalized gene editing treatment.
It represented a milestone for both researchers and patients.
But there's a gripping tale of discovery behind this accomplishment and its creators.
I'm Evan Ratliff, and together with biographer Walter Isaacson, we're delving into the story of Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna, the woman who's helped change the trajectory of humanity.
Listen to Aunt CRISPR, the story of Jennifer Doudna with Walter Isaacson on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.

I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down with Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Hi, News Roundup Information Overload Hour 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, I know many of you have been hearing about this new variant that is out there, and I know it's got a lot of people freaked out.
And by the way, I think you've got to pay attention to all of this because it all matters.
It all impacts our health.
Now, if you listen to politicians around the world and the travel bans, which by the way, I support a travel ban.
If there's a new variant, we saw what happened with the Delta variant.
We've got to be careful.
Fascinating that Joe Biden is xenophobic, hysterical, racist himself because that's what he accused Donald Trump of.
Anyway, there are two people that have been leading the charge.
Probably the top person is Rand Paul from Kentucky.
He's also had support from Senator Ted Cruz, a ton of support.
And Anthony Fauci, you know, claims that he is science and claims I'm going to be saving lives while Republican senators are lying.
Now, the problem with him saying this very thing is it's just not true what he's saying.
Now we have the emails of Dr. Fauci.
Those emails show a panic Dr. Fauci, when he discovered that there might have been gain of function research and NIH money that funded this.
There was a hectic exchange back and forth with top people at the NIH.
So he knew from the beginning.
We know that on January 31st, he got an email that said that, in fact, it looked like one of the specific genomes, as you break down the sequence of COVID-19, had been manipulated in the lab.
That's January 31st of 2020.
And then, of course, we have the Intercept 900 documents that they came up with.
Under oath, Fauci testified before the Senate committee that the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
But yet the NIH on October 20th wrote that they, in fact, did fund an experiment at the Wuhan lab, virology lab, testing if spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to human ACE2 receptors in a mouse model.
That is called gain of function.
But that doesn't stop Fauci from attacking Senator Ram Paul and Senator Ted Cruz.
Listen.
Senator Cruz told the Attorney General you should be prosecuted.
Yeah.
I'd have to laugh at that.
I should be prosecuted.
What happened on January 6th, Senator?
Do you think that this is about making you a scapegoat to deflect President Trump?
Of course.
You have to be asleep not to figure that one out.
Well, there are a lot of Republican senators taking aim at this.
That's okay.
I'm just going to do my job, and I'm going to be saving lives, and they're going to be lying.
Okay, joining us now to respond, Kentucky Senator Ram Paul.
Senator, does that prove that the testimony on May 11th, coupled with the NIH letter of, what, October 20th, does that not prove that under oath, a violation of federal law where you can be penalized up to five years in jail?
Did Dr. Fauci lie before Congress?
Without question, Dr. Fauci has lied repeatedly before Congress.
We've given him a chance to correct the record.
I've sent him an official referral to the Department of Justice.
I think he should be prosecuted because this goes beyond sort of a haphazard mistake or carelessness.
This goes to a person who purposely, I believe, covered up the origins of the virus, but also purposely has discounted the idea of natural immunity such that he's wanting to mandate vaccine on children now.
And if you took into account natural immunity, I don't think that there would be such a rush to mandate this on children or to mandate this on anyone.
With regard to gain of function, he was funding research in Wuhan, but also research in North Carolina and in Galveston that takes viruses that are unknown, mixes them together with viruses that we know, and finds out or tries to discover whether or not they gain in function.
And yes, some of them have gained in function.
It's very dangerous research.
There are nonpartisan scientists at both Rutgers and MIT who have come forward and said this is the kind of research that is a risk to civilization.
That's a pretty significant description of what he's funding.
And so instead of sort of owning up to this or having a reasonable intellectual debate on this, he comes forward and says he is science.
He represents science and that anyone attacks him is attacking science.
The arrogance of that kind of statement from a government bureaucrat is alarming, and we should be very, very worried about someone who believes that they represent all science.
Well, I mean, that was a pretty arrogant statement of himself.
You know, this is the guy in March of 2020 on 60 Minutes says, masks, they're not going to do anything.
Maybe they stop one little droplet, but they're not going to protect you.
Then it was one mask, then two masks, then masks in perpetuity.
Then it was vax or mask.
Then it becomes vax mask, vax and mask.
Then it's vax mask and booster.
And then I guess there'll be booster after booster after booster.
So I think you can make a pretty strong case that a lot of vaccine hesitancy, if you will, came from the CDC, the NIH, Dr. Fauci and Joe Biden and Jill Biden, fully vaccinated, outdoors, socially distant, mask on, going into former President Carter's home, 96 years old, his wife Rosalind, 93, taking off their masks, not socially distant, right on top of each other.
I'm sure that was no mixed messages there, Senator.
Do you think?
You know, I think you can make the argument that Fauci has disseminated misinformation that actually probably has cost lives.
So by telling the public now that cloth masks work, if you're an elderly person and your spouse has COVID and you go in to treat them and take care of them in their bedroom and feed them, do you think that maybe telling people to wear a cloth mask instead of an N95 mask might be misinformation that might actually cause you to take care of someone and risk your life and perhaps get COVID when you could be wearing an appropriate mask and treating the patient appropriately and you might have a chance.
I think he's also caused lives to be lost in countries like India where they're following Fauci's lead.
Instead of targeting the vaccine towards the elderly and those who have not yet had COVID, he's saying, oh, yeah, people who've had COVID need to be vaccinated equal with the elderly.
Well, that kind of information or public health exhortation from Fauci causes people to get vaccinated who don't need to be vaccinated, those who've already had it, but it also takes away the vaccine from people who more urgently need it, the elderly, and particularly the elderly who have not yet had COVID.
Now, you have stated publicly that you had COVID, and you have stated publicly that you are not getting vaccinated, that you believe in natural immunity.
If we're to follow the mantra of the left and the president and everybody else to follow the science, well, I'm following the science in Israel, and nearly 800,000 people they have studied that had natural immunity compared to those that had the vaccination were 27 times less likely to be impacted by the Delta variant.
That's a pretty impressive number to me.
Apparently, a new study came out of Qatar, and I know they need to be peer-reviewed.
And I look for the final numbers on both of these.
I'm following them closely, as I'm sure you are, showed pretty much the same thing, that what you have been saying, that natural immunity, T-cell immunity, even if your antibody levels decrease, which they do over time, T-cell or memory cells would instantly kick in if your body were to detect, I assume, any COVID-19 or any variant of COVID-19.
Am I wrong in that?
Yeah, you're exactly right.
And the thing is, is that the irony of Fauci preaching that we should discriminate against the unvaccinated and discriminate and separate ourselves and fear people who are not vaccinated, it may be the opposite of the truth.
People have had the disease, like myself, according to the Israeli study, it's actually safer to sit next to me than it is to sit next to someone who's vaccinated.
That's not an argument against being vaccinated, but it's an argument for or against the government sort of segregating and calling certain people deplorable and unwashed and these terrible, horrible people that are unvaccinated.
You know, look, the basketball player, you know, I'm blanking on his name, but several of the basketball players, you know, who have already had the disease are saying from the NBA, you know, I've already had it.
I have immunity.
The thing is, is that kind of immunity that develops within our community and within our country is actually good for the country.
That That doesn't mean we should choose to get it, but a lot of people, we now think over 100 million people, maybe as many as 150 million Americans have had it.
That is helping the immunity that will eventually defeat this bug.
That's not an admonition to go out and get it, but the thing is, already 100 million people got it whether we wanted it or not.
And by Fauci discounting that and ignoring that, he's ignoring the science and then saying, hey, I'm science.
Don't criticize me.
I am the science.
The arrogance of that is just beyond imagination.
You know, the fact that we used American tax dollars, and I think that you have made the case, at least you've made it to me and proven.
And I think backed up by the Fauci emails, by the intercept documents, and even by the NIH's own language, admitting that they supported gain of function and the eco alliance that they funded this money through, it's likely our tax dollars went to fund some of the research that caused the gain of function and the release of this virus.
Is that a fair statement?
This is the biggest reason why Fauci should be fired because he's not acknowledged that he made a mistake in funding the Wuhan lab.
He's not acknowledged that this came from gain of function research, but he's also not acknowledged that the danger exists that this could happen again.
They are doing experiments with viruses that have a 50% mortality.
Fortunately, the virus that we are battling has a 1% mortality.
And that's still a problem.
5 million people have died.
It is a big deal.
But imagine if this had 50% mortality.
But as we speak, Fauci still supports gain of function research that combines a virus with 50% mortality with an unknown virus.
And he says, well, we don't know whether the unknown virus will gain in lethality or not.
Well, my goodness, who would like to take the chance with a virus with a 50% mortality escaping from the lab?
So he has shown a recklessness with this.
There needs to be an investigation.
He needs to be prevented and put as far as possible away from any decision-making because we could get a pandemic worse than this one from a lab as long as Tony in 2012.
He said that even if it caused a worldwide pandemic, he still supported gain of function research, which is madness.
Quick break, right back more with Senator Ram Paul of Kentucky on the other side.
Then your calls 800-941-SHAWN as we continue.
This is The Sean Hannity Show.
As we continue with Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, what do you think of this Omicron variant?
I mean, we've had the Lambda, the MU or Mu variant, and the R.1 variant, and of course the Delta variant, which was a much bigger challenge.
And then when you couple that with the head of the Medical Association in South Africa and the comments that she made on the observations of Omicron, what do you think?
I think it's too soon to tell.
I'm hopeful that the initial observation that not that many people were getting very sick and that the symptoms were mild, if that turns out to be true, that'll be great news for the world.
If it's more transmissible but much less lethal, there's a possibility that it will actually dominate and get rid of the original variant as well as the Delta variant.
Over time, many viruses do mutate to become more transmissible but less lethal, less deadly.
We don't know yet.
But here's the other thing that we could be and should be doing if Dr. Fauci actually really cared about saving lives, what we would be doing, and that's encouraging and liberalizing the ability to have new vaccines.
So, for example, we've had the Delta variant vaccine sitting around.
They've been doing studies on it for several months.
Have you ever heard Fauci say that we should allow the new vaccine to be introduced?
Some people say it's because the government, including Dr. Fauci, allowed them to buy up millions, hundreds of millions of doses, and they have to use those up to feel like they got their money's worth out of them before they would allow adaptation of a new virus vaccine.
But, you know, we get new flu vaccines every year.
By the way, and he barely mentions, you know, monoclonal antibodies.
And people that I know that have gotten them immediately after diagnosis have done extraordinarily well.
We never hear anything about it.
Right.
And there was some mention today by Regeneron that they are worried that theirs may not work with Omicron.
But what we need to do is allow speedy approval of new monoclonal antibodies.
Let's say Omicron turns out to be less deadly.
Maybe we don't do anything.
Maybe there's no vaccine or new antibodies that need to be produced.
Well, you got to prepare for the worst.
Yeah, if two weeks from now we decide that it's very, very deadly and it's spreading throughout the world, we need to quickly approve the ability to produce a new vaccine, but also quickly approve new monoclonal antibodies if we need them.
But it's too soon to know.
And so Dr. Fauci, who believes the sky is always falling and has never met a mandate that he didn't like, he immediately latches on to, you know, he lapses into his authoritarian nature of what new thing can we do to ban human behavior.
Of course, none of the things that he's been for have really worked.
More people died this year than last year.
So it doesn't look like Dr. Fauci is a great genius in doing anything to control this pandemic.
No, we need to wait before we do anything.
You know, pause a little bit.
Let's see what's going to happen with this variant.
And let's don't start telling people they have to stay inside and put masks on again.
Senator Ram Paul, Kentucky, you've been doing a phenomenal job exposing all this.
Thank you for your time, as always.
When we come back, we'll hit the phones.
800-941-Sean will get right to the phones.
Quick break right back.

At 9 p.m., do you know where your president is?
I don't know.
Yep, he's sound asleep in his bed with not a care in the world.
Must be nice, Joe.
The rest of us will keep working.
You're on the Sean Hennedy Show.
Yeah, President Trump, I think, went to bed at 4 on average every night, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, I'm not, I was never a great golfer.
We have a liner about it because I never had the time to devote to it.
I used to like it.
Now I'm so into martial arts.
And I've had, wouldn't you say, would it be appropriate to say severe nagging injuries, Linda?
Would that be an appropriate term?
Yeah, it's definitely been a rough year, that's for sure.
For sure.
Anyway, anyway, so Tiger Woods came out yesterday and said that he's just come to the realization he's never going to be able to play golf on the tour like he used to, but he hopes to play specific events.
And I don't think there's ever, at least in my lifetime, I mean, you have the greats like Jack Nicholas, you have the greats like Gary Player and Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, and all these wonderful people.
And I'd love to have the time.
I was always a good athlete.
It was the one sport I struggled with.
And maybe I'll get back to it if I can get my leg straightened out here.
But anyway, he had this terrible accident, and he said that he actually was lucky to be alive and that amputating his leg was on the table when he got to the hospital.
Listen to this.
Tiger, I think over the last bit of time, we've seen you kind of humbled by getting through the back surgery and being able to make that comeback that you did and whatnot.
I'm just curious, when you got on the other side of the surgeries and all the stuff that went on in February, and you realized the depth, you probably saw the pictures of how bad the accident was.
Did you feel lucky to be alive?
And is that part of why you're kind of at peace, you know, as you speak to us now about going?
Yeah, I mean, I said it yesterday.
I feel I'm lucky to be alive, but also still have the limb.
Those are two crucial things, you know?
So I'm very, very grateful that someone upstairs was take care of me, that I'm able to not only be here, but also to walk without a prosthesis.
Daniel, how realistic was amputation as an option?
What's that?
How realistic was amputation?
Like, was that really on the table?
Wow.
One of the tournaments, and I know people are critical of Tiger Woods, and he went through a tough time in his life, and he struggled.
But he also, you know, Americans love redemption stories.
And don't you think, Linda, America loved it when it came back in 2019 and won the Masters.
Listen, I'm going to tell you very honestly, I don't know anything about golf.
Literally.
You don't know anything about sports.
First of all, I have learned quite a bit in recent months.
I know why.
I have a new boyfriend.
Oh, boy.
He's wonderful.
And his children play football.
So I am learning about football.
And it is a slow and steady process.
Hey, Jason, can you please pull out these discussions on football so we can play it for the boyfriend and the family?
Katie knows.
Katie has been helping me.
Katie has been giving me charts because his kids are defensive line players.
Defensive line players.
Okay.
What positions do they play?
Do you know?
Fullbacks.
No, she's telling you the answer.
No, she's not.
No, she's not.
That came from me.
100%.
Fullbacks on offense, you know.
No, they're not.
That's a defensive line.
Jason.
Actually, you're wrong.
They are offensive players.
Jason, you're supposed to play along and make her doubt.
Are they offensive or defensive?
Fullbacks are offensive players.
Offensive.
So then he's not wrong.
He's right.
I'm wrong.
Oh, crap.
Well, anyways, I'm doing my best here, people.
I'm doing my best.
I'm going to football for dummies.
I'm going to do my absolute best to learn this.
And I'm giving it the good old try.
I've packed the lunches.
I've sat in the cold.
I'm doing the work.
I'm learning.
Doing the best I can.
You know, I used to like to go to games.
I'm not that interested in going anymore.
I'd rather just like, I'd rather watch it on TV.
Football is the best.
It's the best TV sport to watch.
No, well, I beg to differ.
Hockey is awesome.
See, now you speak in my language.
Now, hockey.
Hockey's harder to watch on TV because it's harder to follow the puck.
I think hockey's better life.
Well, you got to have a big enough TV.
That's the key to everything because I'm deaf and I'm blind now, my old age.
I can't see.
I've got to go get my eyes checked.
I already know that I need hearing aids and all these years on radio and nobody wants to hear me whining.
I'm just saying 33 years with cans on it and this is what the result is.
Well, considering that we can all hear your headphones when we're five doors away with all of our doors shut.
I'm like, oh my God.
I made every mistake.
Everybody warned me along the way.
But it's not just me.
Anybody that's been in radio that I know for any length of time.
I mean, it just is a common problem.
Anybody who does like sports broadcasting, too, believe me.
When I worked at ESPN, when you're doing the radio broadcast and the broadcasters are setting up, they tell the engineers, for instance, in a basketball game where the arena is small and you have 20,000 people around you, the broadcaster would tell the engineer, I want to hear the sound of the ball going through the hoop.
You know how loud.
That's not.
So guys who are like 40 get deaf.
When we go on the road and we're at affiliate radio stations doing the show, I mean, we usually ask them to put an amplifier in and they're like, what?
Because otherwise I'm not going to, I like to hear in my head callers and my own voice at a certain level that I've grown accustomed to.
And then it keeps going a little higher, a little higher, a little higher until the point you blow it out.
I blow out you blow out your ears.
But to come full circle on the original conversation.
You're loving football.
Well, that's not the original one.
But I love football.
How many points were the touchdowns?
No, that's not the point.
Let me make the point that I can talk about that I understand, which is that I love the movies about comeback stories.
I love the story about Tiger Woods.
Like I love Rudy.
I love We Are Marshall.
I love the Titans.
I love all those football movies, you know, and I really like the blind side.
Like all these movies, they're just amazing.
Such a good movie.
They're inspirational.
They talk about people coming together.
And sports and music are supposed to be areas where we can sort of find our common ground.
And we're all cheering for the same team and the same people.
That's why we can't mix politics with sports.
100%.
It's making the most unifying event.
And I've said that many times.
All right, let's get to our phones here.
Dana is in Nebraska.
Hey, Dana, how are you?
Hey, Sean, how's it going?
I'm good, sir.
What's going on?
I think Anthony Fauci should be fired.
I think he should have been fired a long time ago.
I don't even know why he still has this position.
I don't know either.
And I agree with you.
I mean, we just went over this with Bram Paul.
They did a terrible job.
And then this new variant they're talking about.
You know, what happened to 14 Days of Solar Spread?
First, when COVID came out with this, you know, was it the alpha variant?
They send you home.
You have 14 days of solder spread, right?
14 days of solder spread.
Then it goes to, all right, we need 15 days.
Everybody goes to lockdowns.
Then we get the mask into the mask, don't work.
Now we have these vaccines out.
And these vaccines are terrible.
They're supposed to be safe and effective, but they've killed more people in American history than any other vaccine combined.
I don't know that to be true.
I have not read or heard that from anybody.
There certainly have been problems.
Nobody wants to ever talk about them for some people, but not the majority of people by any stretch.
But I will tell you, I don't like this whole one-size-fits-all medicine.
I've been very outspoken and I believe in freedom.
People get to choose.
And I believe in medical privacy.
Apparently, I'm one of the only ones on radio or TV that does.
And I believe in doctor-patient confidentiality.
I am very concerned that in this whole process, we're giving up our freedom.
You know, as far as I'm concerned, the whole debate over vax or not to vax is over in this sense.
People have made up their minds.
There's nothing Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Anthony Fauci, Jen Saki, Walinski, or any of these other people are going to say at this point that I think is going to convince people that have chosen not to get the vaccine for whatever reason.
Maybe they have a rare medical condition.
The doctor doesn't recommend it.
Maybe they have natural immunity and they think that's enough.
So, but it's at that point, it doesn't matter.
So the next thing is: okay, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, why don't we talk more about the one therapeutic that has shown the most promise, for example, monoclonal antibodies?
I don't understand.
Joe Biden mentions it once.
And it seems like, you know, even with this new variant that has come out, and nobody wants a new variant, the Omicron variant, even with this new variant that comes out, you know, they use that.
You got to get vaccinated quick if you have it.
We've had other variants already, Lambda, we've had MU, Mu, we've had R.1.
We had the Delta variant.
People have not changed their mind.
So the next thing is, why don't we set up like they did in Florida, which very quickly eradicated their recent, they went through a hot period.
And why don't we set them up in any area of the country where we start seeing higher incidences of COVID positive rates?
I don't get that part either.
I don't understand some people's decision making.
I do understand other people's rationale.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
John in Georgia, John, how are you?
Glad you called.
Good, Sean.
How are you?
I'm good, sir.
What's going on?
I just want to talk a little bit about the green energy and renewables.
So we hear a lot about that in the news, and a lot of people don't really know what that means about just turning off power plants.
We did see some of that in Texas last year.
If you remember, all the power went out in the state there, and they lost a lot of, had a lot of issues with the power.
But right now, you know, in this country, there's 11,000 power plants.
And 56 of those, by the way, are nuclear, which everybody says we don't want nuclear, but there's 56 power plants running in the U.S. and 28 states that are nuclear, one being built right now in Georgia, which is fantastic for us.
But when you look at renewables, they're not reliable right now.
We need them to be, and we want them to be.
We want them to bring them online.
But like for solar, for instance, a one-megawatt solar field is about three acres.
A typical gas power plant combined cycle is about 800 megawatts.
So that's 2,400 acres of solar panels to replace one power plant or 491 windmills to replace one power plant.
It's a big, huge undertaking that's going to take the government saying to each state, hey, you do your part, but without an overall encompassing U.S. if somebody comes up with cheaper, accessible, affordable energy that works, I'm all for it.
I don't have any problem with making the switch if they have the technology.
They don't have it.
Their windmills aren't going to cut it.
And that's the problem here.
And throwing money.
Hydrogen.
Yeah, I mean.
Now, that's the next new and upcoming thing.
But then the government says no pipelines, which, how else are you going to get the hydrogen type where it needs to go?
There's all these things that the government told you that they want you to lower emissions, but don't give you the power to do that.
They don't even want you to cut down a tree to put in your fireplace, which, by the way, more families are buying wood this winter to lower their heating bills because of the higher cost of heating your home.
Anyway, you bring up good points, John.
The lifeblood of the world's economy is energy.
Period.
That's oil, gas, and coal right now.
And we have artificially reduced the world supply.
We've given up energy independence.
We've gone from a net exporter of energy to an importer begging OPEC in Russia.
It's pathetic and preventable.
Melody is in Texas.
Hey, Melody, how are you?
Hi, Sean.
How are you?
I'm good.
We only have about a minute, but it's all yours.
Go.
Okay.
I'm a conservative Republican from Texas, and I believe that Joe Biden and the Democrats are exploiting Joe Biden on the national and world stage.
These people put him on display and allow other people to ridicule him.
And I believe that he is cognitively impaired.
And to me, this was a form of elderly abuse.
And I really think that, you know, Joe Biden wanted to be president.
He fulfilled his dream.
And I think that they just need to walk away with some dignity left.
I think there are people that know, I think everybody knows what you just said to be true in this sense: that he's a cognitive mess.
I think they are purposely hiding him, limiting access to him, managing him at a level we couldn't even begin to understand.
Now, I have sources, may surprise people, but I have sources that have been around Joe Biden that confirm everything that I'm saying.
He is weak, he is frail, he's a cognitive mess, and everybody knows it.
And to do that to anybody, I think I would just say is just morally wrong to me.
I think he really is struggling, and it's like they're propping him up.
God only knows what's really going on behind the scenes.
I don't know.
And I look at him.
He does not look healthy to me.
He looks like somebody that could just keel over at any second.
I don't want that to happen to him.
I don't like his politics, but I wish people the best.
I'm a Christian.
