00:00:32.480 live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
00:00:42.320 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Monday. We have
00:00:46.480 lots of news to get to today. Thanks to Senator Rand Paul, we now have Anthony Fauci's diary
00:00:52.680 entries during the height of COVID. I mean, to the surprise of no one who listens to this show,
00:01:03.100 Dr. Fauci was way more concerned with his fame and image than with the fate of the country.
00:01:09.820 Like not since James Comey have we seen someone this narcissistic and self-aggrandizing
00:01:19.040 in a public role. And I include Trump in that. I include Trump easily in that.
00:01:25.180 Anthony Fauci makes Donald Trump look humble. He makes him look like a humble, insecure.
00:01:32.340 I can't believe what I read in that guy's diary, Andrews. I mean, I can believe it,
00:01:39.140 but it's still shocking to see how vain and pathetic he was. Let me tell you something.
00:01:48.400 Let me tell you a quick little story. When I was coming up the ranks as a very young reporter
00:01:54.000 at Fox News, like the Washington Post did a profile on me and it was Howie Kurtz long before
00:02:02.180 he had joined Fox News. He was the media reporter and he did a profile on me and I thought it was
00:02:08.420 so great and I thought it was like so cool that he had done it. So I kept a copy of it. And then
00:02:14.900 I don't know who the next one was to do a big profile of me, but they did it and I kept a copy
00:02:19.280 of it. And then there was another one and I kept a copy of it. And then I had like a little scrapbook
00:02:23.760 only wasn't a scrapbook. It was just a pile of like five art. And then, you know, what happened
00:02:28.580 when we got to the sixth article, I threw them away because I understand when you, when you're
00:02:32.820 first like starting to collect some attention, you're like, oh my gosh, wow. Washington post
00:02:38.100 did an article on me. That's so cool. A mile marker in time. Then maybe a second. And then
00:02:43.980 when you realize like you've become a public person, they all kind of blend it. It's you no
00:02:48.760 longer have to hold on to them because you're like, I'm just doing my job now. This isn't like
00:02:54.400 if you think you're just going to be a flash in the pan or this is just a moment where you got a
00:02:57.860 little attention. I get it. You know, it's like you that's kind of cool. This guy was every day
00:03:05.820 collecting this article and that front page piece and this magazine and this news anchor and a
00:03:13.160 friendship is forming with Jake Tapper. Oh, and look, and everyone knows who I am. And not just
00:03:19.280 that, I crossed the street and people yelled nice things at me and told me I was, it's unbelievable.
00:03:28.100 It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like this in public life. I know a ton of very famous
00:03:36.980 people as a result of my job. Not one is like this. Not one. Honestly, I feel like it's Comey
00:03:44.800 and Fauci. How did poor Trump get saddled with both of those guys, which he inherited both of
00:03:51.400 them? All right. We'll get to that in one second. But also just a couple of headlines we're going
00:03:57.860 to get to. The Democrats continue to be in free fall as another leader is accused of throwing
00:04:05.320 something at a fellow dem in anger and forced to speak to HR. Plus, you got to hear President
00:04:12.160 Trump's comedy set from Friday's White House Correspondents Association dinner. They got
00:04:16.460 they all got back together after that attempted assassination that happened a couple of months
00:04:21.520 earlier to the president's credit. He said, we are not allowing this would be assassin to cancel
00:04:27.060 this event. We are coming back together. And he got up there and he made off color jokes like they
00:04:32.540 always do. But CNN is very angry because these were Trump's off color jokes, you see. And so
00:04:37.100 they're not allowed. Like if you do it while there's a Democrat at the lectern or a comedian
00:04:43.580 hired while there's a Democrat president sitting on the dais, that's fine. OK, that's different.
00:04:49.360 But when you have Donald Trump up there being off color, well, that's evil. And CNN is very,
00:04:54.360 very angry. We'll talk about it. Joining me now is Victor Davis Hanson. He is a senior fellow at
00:04:59.660 the Hoover Institution, and author of the forthcoming book, The Counter-Revolution,

00:06:15.320 bdh welcome back great to see you these fauci headlines are unbelievable victor i can't i'll
00:06:25.880 just give i'll just give the audience something like something quickly as a specific example okay
00:06:33.120 this is from his private diary march of 2020 um specifically march 21st big front page article
00:06:43.800 about me in the Washington Post, very flattering. My national and international fame is explosive
00:06:50.900 and really unimaginable. It is not hyperbole to say that today I am the most famous and talked
00:06:58.360 about person in the country and one of the most recognizable persons in the world. Okay,
00:07:05.500 They're pointing out that the deaths that day were 9,800. So we had 9,800 people dying. And he was very focused on his Washington Post, very flattering, big front page article and his national and international fame being explosive. Your thoughts?
00:07:25.980 you're right about comey i might add mark milley too he was the same type of person but uh general
00:07:35.040 general mark milley uh but the thing about it was that it bothered me the most that was obviously
00:07:41.480 the the keystone that explains a lot of his behavior he was a pathological narcissist
00:07:47.360 but did you remember what he was doing he was he had all this evidence he would get experts
00:07:54.340 together and then he would say well you know eight out of ten say that it came out of the lab
00:07:58.860 and then he would misrepresent that and say that it was still a pangolin and the reason he was
00:08:04.940 doing that from as you followed this stream i read a lot of them is that he was invested because he
00:08:11.340 had helped fund this lab through peter dasik and echo health and he and francis collins were
00:08:17.680 paranoid and so they were misleading the american people and the scientific community and as part
00:08:24.320 Part of that effort, Megan, he's mentioning about grants, and you got the impression, it's pretty clear, that he was taking public money and the billions of dollars and doling out money to individual researchers, not just on the science, but predicated to how well they praised him or their research supported his pangolin bat thesis.
00:08:46.680 and so he was utterly corrupt as well and then he had it's kind of tragic i have kind of a personal
00:08:55.360 prejudice because i scott atlas is a colleague of mine but i went i remember those years when
00:09:02.940 they went after scott who was a public health expert and the world's expert on the brain and
00:09:08.280 mri technology and they went after jay bodhacharya then the national institutes of health director
00:09:15.060 now and they went after martin cooland called him fringe yeah and they called him fringe and
00:09:19.460 then you hear this alicia is that her name griffith at the view and she was tasked she writes
00:09:26.440 alissa farrah farrah farrah yeah she's tasked as if almost she's a cnn broker a booker or something
00:09:36.540 she she says i will help get scott atlas and she's communicating with fauci and what his crime when
00:09:44.840 you start to read about it what he was actually saying was that masks are good for health care
00:09:50.420 officials but if you think it's going to stop everybody masking up it's not going to do it if
00:09:55.860 you want to protect people with quarantines go out take all your resources at 65 and above
00:10:03.980 but children are not going to be subject to death from this virus don't shut down the schools it'll
00:10:11.040 destroy people's educate don't shut down the economy it's going to have substance abuse
00:10:16.100 familial abuse it's going to be a ripple that won't get out of this economy and social life
00:10:21.880 for years and they were all for the vaccines the three of them they said the vaccines are valuable
00:10:28.080 but they do not stop being infected or being infectious they have a limited utility
00:10:33.260 and the boosters no we were the first i think i'm pretty sure we were the first show to put
00:10:37.920 on all three doctors I think you were behind the great the great Barrington declaration that's how
00:10:43.080 we got to know Jay Bhattacharya back in the day as he as he and his colleagues from Harvard and
00:10:47.740 Stanford were being dismissed as fringe by Collins and Fauci they were and and and I was emails are
00:10:54.400 full of his smears yeah if you disagreed with him you got smeared and then Burks was Burks was
00:10:59.780 she was trying to explain and then Fauci remember was bragging that he's he almost sounds like he's
00:11:07.180 seduce Trump. He's got Trump over. I've now got a very strange relationship and I'm working on
00:11:13.060 Trump. And you could see they were blackening these three people who were proven correct.
00:11:19.920 And by the way, they've never, in the case of Scott, the Stanford faculty censored him. And then
00:11:25.200 a few months ago, they've embarrassed people, said, let's uncensor him. And they wouldn't do
00:11:30.400 it. They still censored him. They're still angry at him. And I wrote three columns on his defense,
00:11:36.280 and I was told not to write them anymore.
00:11:38.500 And I had all these faculty members attacking me.
00:11:41.100 I had the Stanford Alumni Association president call me or write me
00:11:45.040 and say, you better stop it.
00:11:46.700 We have too many complaints about you.
00:11:48.340 And all I was doing is saying,
00:11:50.660 why don't you let these people's views be aired honestly
00:11:54.220 and evaluated on the science rather than demonize them?
00:11:58.520 And so the final thing, I think you're right about that,
00:12:01.480 to mention the deaths, because for all the narcissism
00:12:05.140 and using this federal agency, kind of like Comey used the FBI,
00:12:09.940 to punish enemies and help friends,
00:12:12.980 what he did did result in a lot of deaths.
00:12:17.660 If he had come out on day one and say,
00:12:20.440 you know what, we were mistaken,
00:12:23.000 gain-of-function research was outlawed the United States,
00:12:25.840 I understand that.
00:12:26.720 I thought that I was doing good by circulating money
00:12:29.860 or green-lighting visits from scientists to go over there
00:12:33.280 and give them instrumentation and advice, and that was wrong.
00:12:38.020 And he was even opposed, Megan, to the travel ban from China
00:12:43.200 at the time when the Chinese government had banned all travel from Wuhan anywhere in China,
00:12:49.960 and they were sending thousands of people to Milan, JFK, SFO, LAX.
00:12:56.820 And Trump wanted to stop that immediately from all travel, and he was against that
00:13:01.380 because that would suggest that there was a lab origin in wuhan and he he was convinced that
00:13:07.580 the pangolin bat theory would exonerate him and cover his foot this is all connected it is this
00:13:14.360 is all connected because his his vanity prevented him from being able to tell the truth absolutely
00:13:23.320 about how covid got started or how we could best fight it he would only recommend what would make
00:13:31.240 him look good or look right irrespective of whether it was what was right for the country
00:13:38.160 that's my takeaway and having read all of this now that it shows just his vanity running amok
00:13:45.660 and him protective of it at every turn i'm just going to give a couple more examples here
00:13:50.380 March 22nd of March of 2020.
00:13:54.960 So 3-22-20 was the date.
00:13:58.060 Cases continued to soar.
00:13:59.840 30,000 in the USA with 400 deaths.
00:14:03.180 And here's what he writes.
00:14:04.640 Press is going wild with me.
00:14:06.680 Front page in Washington Post yesterday and op-ed by Maureen Dowd in New York Times today about me.
00:14:13.980 Profiled by Peter Nichols on me in the Atlantic.
00:14:16.700 He tracked the body count and his press clippings on the same pages.
00:14:23.660 That's what his diary entries released by Rand Paul point out his body, his the body count and his press clippings on the same pages.
00:14:32.200 It's almost as if like the worse it got, the more important he got.
00:14:37.460 And he enjoyed that.
00:14:39.240 You mentioned Dr. Birx, Deb Birx, I should say, at the at the White House.
00:14:44.440 This is from April of 2020, the next month after the ones I just read.
00:14:48.620 After the presser, Deb Birx texted and then called me.
00:14:50.900 This is obviously a White House presser involving Trump saying it was good that I wasn't there
00:14:54.660 since after the presser, the president called her into the Oval and started yelling at her,
00:14:59.140 saying you and Fauci have destroyed the country and the economy.
00:15:02.260 I should never, ever have listened to you.
00:15:04.860 You have completely destroyed us.
00:15:06.580 He kept saying this over and over again and was yelling at her.
00:15:10.000 I encouraged her that we are OK.
00:15:12.280 and at the end of the day she and i will be loved by the people we care about she was relieved and
00:15:19.740 after wrote me a text sincerely thanking me he's not talking about mrs fauci there victor he's
00:15:25.940 talking about jake tepper and maureen dow and the folks who write at the atlantic and the lefties
00:15:33.180 who are allegedly stopping him on the street to call him a hero and definitely not jay bodhacharya
00:15:40.420 Sunetra Gupta, who is at Oxford, and Martin Kulldorff at Harvard, whom he refers to as
00:15:45.300 the three stooges, the three stooges one week prior to them coming out with the Great Barrington
00:15:52.140 Declaration, which he clearly knew was on its way. So there he is at every turn. We will be loved by
00:15:58.800 the people who matter to us. F the president, F the people. We need to manage the press and we
00:16:06.360 need to manage lefties who clearly are on our side because they're stopping me on the street
00:16:10.840 calling me a hero yeah and when there's a there's one exchange with uh about scott atlas where they
00:16:18.040 were demonizing because all of those four people said that there was this ancient concept of herd
00:16:24.420 immunity they didn't say that it would stop the virus they said that in conjunction with the
00:16:29.300 initial vaccinations it would lessen the epidemic pandemic and it did and they said eventually
00:16:35.720 that the various variants and mutations would be less toxic because people would have antibodies
00:16:42.740 and not all antibodies just from the vaccinations but from earlier infections and then Fauci uh
00:16:50.460 and the thing that he writes about Atlas he said I've talked to him and then he has let it rip in
00:16:56.240 quotation he never said let it rip Scott Atlas but they had said Scott Atlas means just let let
00:17:03.160 it rip and get you know as if that don't do anything and just let people die and he has it
00:17:09.860 in quotation marks so even he knew it was a lie and yet they were promulgating that and uh when
00:17:17.480 they when you have to to call somebody in the white house and to try to get somebody fired
00:17:22.380 because he disagrees with you and he was all those people were proven right and there was
00:17:28.080 you know we have people at the hoover institution have studied the educational fallout and those two
00:17:33.680 years that were missed people never caught up it's that was especially in grade second two
00:17:40.600 through three and four there and think of all that i think the george floyd you know the riots
00:17:47.380 and all that reaction that four months of looting and burning was all these people were i'm not
00:17:53.100 excusing it but i'm saying that an amplifier of that was this lockdown everybody was cooped up
00:17:58.580 they didn't get news they didn't talk to people they were terrified we have those clips of people
00:18:03.880 and and remember in tim waltz's minnesota where you had people trying to shoot rubber bullets at
00:18:10.080 people on the porch and here in california they were stopped they were pouring sand and um roller
00:18:16.580 you know skate rinks outdoors it was crazy and all that came cutting down the nets on basketball
00:18:22.180 courts outside it was all from these people that were convinced and you know when i went back when
00:18:28.980 i was reading and looked at the fourth quarter economic news of the trump economy it had just
00:18:34.180 kicked in unemployment gdp inflation everything was booming in the last quarter of 2019 and that
00:18:42.920 all came to a stop and then when we're reading about all of this multi-billionaire fraud in
00:18:49.080 minnesota somali and all when you start to look at it very carefully it was part of that
00:18:53.920 pay protection plan and build build back better the seven billion seven trillion eight it's true
00:19:02.580 that's when it all started and that's when all that's we just lavish money we inflated the
00:19:07.040 economy there was no productivity everybody was cooped up inside they were getting stir crazy
00:19:12.800 it was really in some ways as bad as there was a bunch of big fat christmas presents
00:19:17.960 to people who wanted to defraud the system here on this on this point about the schools which is
00:19:22.760 just so galling i mean the audience remembers we at this show and many in conservative or
00:19:28.820 independent media fought the same to get those schools reopened and to call out the villains
00:19:33.180 who refused chicago teachers union among others um and listen to this so david zweig who is an
00:19:40.820 independent journalist. Um, and he, he tweeted this out yesterday, reminding us that Fauci told
00:19:48.240 the New York times in 2023, show me a school that I shut down. Never, never. He said, I never did
00:19:56.740 show me a school that I shut down. And in these diary entries released by Rand Paul in advance of
00:20:02.740 a hearing that's happening on Wednesday, we will be all over it. Fauci recalls calling Bill de
00:20:09.120 Blasio and convincing him to close New York City's schools. He writes, I spoke with Bill
00:20:16.280 de Blasio, mayor, New York City, and convinced him based on what I was saying publicly and my
00:20:22.840 conversation tonight to close the New York City schools. And then he has the nerve in 2023 to
00:20:31.100 the New York Times, show me a school that I shut down. Never. I never did. So if his lips are
00:20:39.260 moving, he's lying, which Rand Paul knew from the start because he, too, is a medical doctor
00:20:45.540 and he understood the snake oil salesman who was across from him time after time after time.
00:20:52.420 So, Megan, you're a lawyer. I'm going to ask you a question. On Wednesday, he comes in under oath
00:20:56.600 and i understand he has a pardon for everything up to the date of the pardon but what happens
00:21:01.740 under oath if ron paul ask him and says you said and you've testified that you never and you in
00:21:10.000 your or your you've said in the past that you never shut down schools did you or did you not
00:21:14.860 call uh the mayor of new york to shut down the schools and what if he says no is he subject
00:21:20.540 then to prosecution for lying on new lies new lies new lies would expose him for sure but i i think
00:21:27.460 we may get a lot of fifth amendment or we may get him just admitting you know when when he
00:21:32.580 when he lied or possibly just going with the i don't recall because even admitting he lied that's
00:21:37.760 fine like he can do that with his pardon he got this the the the greatest pardon you could possibly
00:21:43.180 get under joe biden and uh so i imagine he's going to be feeling footloose and fancy free and expecting
00:21:48.940 all of his media buddies to cover for him that's what i think because i remember when uh james
00:21:54.420 comey testified to the house oversight committee 245 times he said he couldn't remember he didn't
00:22:00.520 know or it was outside of his expertise so that's what i think he's going to do and i think yep as
00:22:06.520 bad as all of this is uh i still think that there will be people who will still canonize him and
00:22:14.400 because uh it became they have to it's it's because it's their interests and their reputations
00:22:21.040 are perfectly aligned with his all he goes down they go down all cnn ms all in network pbs npr

00:22:40.120 uh grabian they do a good job of collating uh and but this is media praise of fauci look at
00:22:46.980 these examples it's hot too the single most respected voice in the pandemic it's dr anthony
00:22:52.180 fauci the man who's become known as america's doctor the nation's top infectious disease
00:22:56.560 expert anthony fauci you are seen to many as a superhero dr anthony fauci american hero and
00:23:04.480 new york yankee fan you've done so much for this country in terms of this crisis so i really
00:23:09.000 We appreciate your insight.
00:23:10.540 Who better to give us answers that we can trust than Dr. Anthony Fauci?
00:23:15.080 The perfect person to answer our questions today.
00:23:17.200 Joining us now, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
00:23:18.980 Dr. Anthony Fauci, appreciate your candor.
00:23:21.240 Dr. Fauci, appreciate the candor.
00:23:23.200 We appreciate your service to this country.
00:23:25.640 We appreciate your service.
00:23:27.000 Thank you for your service.
00:23:28.060 Thank you for your service.
00:23:29.040 Greatly appreciate your service to America.
00:23:30.860 Thank you for your 37 years of service, I believe, to seven presidents.
00:23:34.760 And thank you for your work over the past year.
00:23:36.380 The great news is you're sticking around in the Biden administration.
00:23:39.760 We are so grateful to you, Dr. Fauci, for everything you do.
00:23:42.580 Thank you so much for everything you do.
00:23:43.940 Thank you very much for everything that you do.
00:23:46.720 Thanks so much for the work that you do.
00:23:47.980 Thank you very much for the reassurance and, as always, for all of your public service.
00:23:51.880 Thank you, Dr. Fauci.
00:23:54.360 Yeah, it's so gross.
00:23:56.800 Let me give you just a couple more.
00:23:58.140 OK, just a couple more from the notes.
00:24:00.660 OK, Dana Bash, who is featured there of CNN in April of 2021 after his Fauci's.
00:24:06.160 heated exchange with Ohio Representative Jim Jordan at a hearing, Fauci wrote in his diary,
00:24:15.240 Dan Abash sent me a text. And then he quotes the text. This is what a sad little pathetic man he is.
00:24:21.080 Who writes down their texts that they've received from people who are on television just so they
00:24:25.680 could keep a note of how many famous people texted them? Dan Abash sent me a text, quote,
00:24:30.460 I just watched the whole Jordan thing. Again, you're a better man than I. Well, what do you
00:24:35.860 mean you're not a man as our friend wolf blitzer said to me yesterday no one would have blamed you
00:24:40.960 if you said simply mr jordan go f yourself so this is dana bash who's still interviewing him
00:24:47.700 on her show as though she's an objective news person texting him this behind the scenes then
00:24:52.760 there's um jake tapper he writes had dinner over at jake tapper and jen tapper's home in dc terrific
00:24:59.840 couple friendship building again so weird when in your life victor and you and i got to know each
00:25:06.880 other were you running home putting down in your diary was i friendship building no that normal
00:25:12.820 people don't behave like that unless they're users right which clearly he was then tapper
00:25:17.880 the most revealing aspect of these pages writes the rand paul team or how fauci worked with
00:25:22.780 compliant journalists to shape media narratives on july 26 2020 while watching the assistant
00:25:28.980 secretary for health and a fellow member of the white house task force be interviewed on cnn state
00:25:32.840 of the union fauci writes that the assistant secretary for health was talking bullshit about
00:25:39.200 testing with jake pressing him quote i gave jake some questions to ask him um and then tapper and
00:25:46.800 he were making fun of laura ingram of fox news after my laura ingram hit jake tapper texted me
00:25:52.900 saying sarcastically quote hard to believe laura ingram went to dartmouth isn't it all of us alumni
00:25:58.540 are very proud. What the hell? He's this is a federal official whom he should be cross-examining
00:26:05.300 and pressing and cynical of and pessimistic about. That's what you get paid to do. Not chum chum. We
00:26:11.340 Dartmouth alum can't stand Laura Ingram. All of it is so stomach turning. Yeah, I remember the
00:26:17.080 interviews. The problem they had with Laura was that unlike the rest of them, she started
00:26:21.860 uncovering who he was and then he could get angry. And then have you noticed that all of those
00:26:27.460 all of those identifications of those networks were all left-wing so very quickly he understood
00:26:35.540 there were people at fox independent people as well that were starting to question him in the
00:26:41.660 media and so that at that point he completely dropped all of the pretense the veneer that he
00:26:49.080 was disinterested and he became a hardcore political and then he began leaking about trump
00:26:54.840 And they were all they weaponized the entire thing. And it was I think we forget that Joe Biden picked that up in the 2020 campaign. That was a theme, a meme of that entire that we follow the science. We follow the science. Dr. Fauci, we're going to keep him. We promise to keep him.
00:27:15.420 And it was as if anybody who was for Trump or for these four scientists were somehow cracked.
00:27:22.360 But Martin Kalendorf lost his job at Harvard.
00:27:25.060 And as I said earlier, you walked across the Stanford campus with Scott Atlas and people that he'd known his whole life.
00:27:33.200 I would be walking with him and they would turn the other way and walk in the opposite direction.
00:27:37.700 You and I talked about it a few times while it was going on.
00:27:41.000 You were horrified.
00:27:41.800 We were horrified, too.
00:27:42.640 They did the same thing because Jay was also a Hoover fellow, and they did the same thing to him.
00:27:48.740 I had people, I won't mention names, colleagues that came up to me and said, that's enough.
00:27:54.500 You've done enough.
00:27:55.540 Don't write any more about this guy.
00:27:58.640 And so what I'm saying is this guy, Fauci, created this whole false narrative that this was a pangolin bat accident,
00:28:09.440 and he was on top of it and he had the he was going to shut down the economy the schools
00:28:14.620 and then somewhere along the line these people wouldn't shut up and they started making persuasive
00:28:21.320 arguments and they started talking about i remember the you'll know him he was the science
00:28:27.160 writer for the new york times they fired he was he's been there for 40 years and he wrote he wrote
00:28:32.540 oh yeah because he because he repeated the n-word yes after someone said it to him yeah he was yes
00:28:39.160 saying it was like someone said it and he was saying well this person said it could they you
00:28:44.000 know should they be in trouble for saying it he wasn't saying it like calling someone the n-word
00:28:48.520 no he was repeating it because somebody it came up like should this person have suffered a
00:28:52.140 consequence for saying it and he said it in that context and they fired him for that yeah and he
00:28:56.180 wrote a brilliant exegesis about the whole don mcneil yes about the whole status of the debate
00:29:02.380 and it was very fair and basically he said the dominant narrative is no longer can be supported
00:29:08.760 by the evidence and then Fauci cooked up that fake Lancet investigation remember he had Peter
00:29:15.300 Daszak and they picked like eight people 100 percent and they went all the way before you
00:29:20.400 get to that before let me just set that up Victor let me just set that up okay because
00:29:23.480 that's a huge piece of what's come out we knew this but it's just evidence okay
00:29:28.020 Okay. Fauci knew in January of 2020, January, the COVID pandemic hit America the mid middle of March
00:29:40.640 2020. He knew in January that the quote market was not the source. It was the amplifier. He wrote in
00:29:50.940 his diary on january 26th now we know the market was not the source it was the amplifier so he knew
00:30:00.480 that then we get to february 1st 2020 and 12 scientists and he get together only two concluded
00:30:09.060 this had a natural origin per fauci's own notes quote the rest felt that deliberate insertion
00:30:17.340 was possible. Deliberate insertion of the, the, the cleavage site, basically the piece of the
00:30:25.400 COVID virus that made it more transmissible and more deadly to humans. It was man inserted. They
00:30:32.240 could tell in the early versions of the, of the virus, they could tell all of these top virologists.
00:30:38.140 We reported this to our audience at the time. Again, we were one of the first, we went out with
00:30:42.240 a very long talking points memo in January 14th, it was, of 2022. And we laid out exactly, exactly,
00:30:50.660 today we have proof, I'm reading here from our talking points that day, that Anthony Fauci and
00:30:54.800 Francis Collins have been willfully misleading the public on COVID's origins in an effort,
00:31:00.060 it turns out, to protect China and themselves. House Republicans finally got their hands on
00:31:04.920 emails between Fauci, Collins, and some of the world's top virologists discussing early on in
00:31:10.300 the pandemic whether COVID came from a lab. It turns out the very officials who dismissed that
00:31:14.620 as a fringe conspiracy theory in the press were being told exactly the opposite by the world's
00:31:19.240 top experts as early as February 2020. They've known from the start. On February 1, 2020,
00:31:25.880 Fauci and Collins had a teleconference about COVID's origins with 11 of the world's top
00:31:30.580 virologists. Emails were exchanged the very next day that made clear several of those advising
00:31:35.500 Fauci and Collins believe this virus came from a lab, not some bat or other animal from a wet
00:31:40.920 market or a cave. And this talking points memo goes through how Fauci then rewarded several of
00:31:49.240 the virologists who flipped from saying national origin to, sorry, from saying it looks like it
00:31:55.800 came from a lab to saying, oh, must be natural origin with grants from the NIH, multi-million
00:32:03.200 dollar grants for he was so so super grateful that they had reversed and this proves that he
00:32:10.280 knew that himself a month earlier now we know the market was not the source it was the amplifier and
00:32:19.500 it only goes on yes from there um he knew victor he knew all along and he knew it was peter dasik
00:32:26.820 and eco health alliance. He was just shoring up his supporters to try to tell us a bunch of
00:32:33.320 bullshit. So he did not get tarred with causing the thing he was being universally praised for
00:32:40.060 fighting. That's the key. And if you talk to a lot of scientists, we published at counter Roger
00:32:46.900 Kimball. I'm on the board of Encounter Books, but he published Stephen Quay's analysis of the
00:32:52.840 COVID, which overwhelmingly showed that it was manufactured in the lab under the direction of
00:32:59.540 People's Liberation Army. And whether it was accidental, nobody knows. But that was true.
00:33:05.760 But essentially, if you put all the pieces together, Megan, you get this thing that it's
00:33:11.780 just incredible that a U.S. official with a 50, I don't know how many billion, but he really
00:33:18.460 inflated the role of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases to almost
00:33:23.200 equal to any cdc or the national institute of health under his you know 40 years or how long
00:33:29.600 he was there but you get the impression that a u.s official when that was illegal to conduct that
00:33:36.600 type of research was very interested in wuhan maybe he wanted the information from it for
00:33:41.580 scientific, maybe for intelligence, who knows what he was doing. But he allowed Peter Daszak
00:33:48.540 to be a funnel of money and hide that source. But even more importantly, he green-lighted
00:33:56.340 scientists in the United States that were cooperating via email with that lab, and they
00:34:03.260 would not have been able to get instrumentation and all of that support if it hadn't been for him.
00:34:08.420 and so that was the key to him that he had to keep that narrative quiet because if he did not
00:34:16.540 somebody was going to say this is so staggering that the police who's going to police the police
00:34:23.760 this man is telling us all the ways to fight covid and yet he was at the center of its birth
00:34:31.080 in some sense uh in a foreign country and so then how that developed then he appointed that
00:34:37.200 Lancet he got all of his friends on the he thought well you know what the most respected journal is
00:34:42.520 Lancet and Peter's going to go head a team and go over to COVID no the Chinese wouldn't even meet
00:34:47.940 with him unless they told the line they came out and said it was a uh it was not from the lab and
00:34:54.040 even they destroyed the reputation of Lancet then they exposed them all that it was all set up
00:34:59.160 and when it was all said and done it was all weaponized and that fed into the Biden administration
00:35:06.840 And that became a key campaign talking point.
00:35:10.540 Donald Trump is a wacko.
00:35:12.980 The people around him are amateurs.
00:35:15.760 We are the science.
00:35:17.020 I am the science.
00:35:19.020 And you can't.
00:35:19.560 Victor, we're still dealing with this.
00:35:21.400 I've been making the point lately about people say, like, how how are all these people in America now so conspiratorial?
00:35:27.580 Right. Like they have major conspiratorial instincts.
00:35:30.820 This is how this this is exactly how they were lied to.
00:35:36.460 by government officials at the highest levels over and over with a complicit media that amplified
00:35:44.520 the lies and chat on anybody who called them out as lies, no matter whether they were Stanford
00:35:50.760 and Harvard doctors or, you know, the who was it? Turning Point Barbie, who we had on our show,
00:36:00.200 not Turning Point. What was her name? Maga Barbie, who we had on our show,
00:36:02.900 who got caught at the Capitol on January 6th.
00:36:05.500 She was like a normal lady
00:36:06.780 who all of her businesses got shut down.
00:36:08.740 I remember that.
00:36:09.320 And she was just so distraught.
00:36:11.040 But my point is simply,
00:36:12.700 they did it to us.
00:36:15.140 They caused it.
00:36:16.660 You know, it's very funny.
00:36:17.940 And I had this conversation with somebody
00:36:20.020 whom I won't mention,
00:36:21.760 who called me up and said,
00:36:23.420 you should be ashamed of yourself
00:36:24.900 because you wrote on behalf of Scott Atlas
00:36:27.880 and these other three.
00:36:29.780 I did a lot.
00:36:30.900 And I said, you know who these people are? Do you have any idea? They have authored hundreds, thousands of peer-reviewed articles. I said, you know that if you are in neuroradiologists, there's this huge, you can't even lift it, it's so big. It's called MRI and the Brain, edited, authored by Scott Atlas.
00:36:54.620 It was the definitive work on how to use the MRI, and they were all experts.
00:37:02.100 They had just as impressive, if not more impressive, credentials than Fauci, and they were rendered as cranks, nuts, amateurs.
00:37:10.380 They had no right to do anything, and then finally Trump started to consult with them, and they started to get a public profile.
00:37:19.740 And that when you look at the Fauci files, that's when he went nuts and they organized a comprehensive effort to destroy them.
00:37:27.440 And I remember Tom and Alex Berenson to Alex Berenson and Tom Cotton on X.
00:37:32.760 Remember, he wrote an op ed saying this thing came from the lab and they went after Tom.
00:37:37.360 Yes, they went after anybody.
00:37:39.120 And it was the media and they pressured the social media companies to censor people like Berenson.
00:37:44.060 They did. They did have their accounts shut down, have to have them flagged as nuts.
00:37:49.360 YouTube complied.
00:37:51.040 The old X, which used to be Twitter at that time, complied.
00:37:54.820 Person after person who raised questions about this got shut down.
00:37:58.820 Because Fauci used all that media clout in order to bully people into doing this.
00:38:04.960 You mentioned Peer Review.
00:38:06.400 Tom Graby, sorry, Tom Elliott, who's the founder of Graby, who just put together that soundbite we just played, on his sub stack, wrote about these Fauci files.
00:38:15.620 He writes, across 1,141 pages by the nation's senior infectious disease official during the largest public health event in a century, here's how often certain terms appear.
00:38:24.900 Peer review, not once, not once.
00:38:29.280 Meta-analysis, nothing.
00:38:31.620 Risk-benefit, no.
00:38:33.020 Learning loss, no.
00:38:34.380 Mental health, no.
00:38:36.160 Never.
00:38:37.200 One-time mentions, N95, seroprevalence, cost-benefit.
00:38:42.140 twice cloth mask school closure natural immunity and then judge it against this award 80
00:38:51.380 hero 49 instagram 36 bobblehead 23 selfie 19 entries headed press 641 victor that's fauci's
00:39:07.060 diary. And I remember 2020, the whole subtext behind all the files was 2020 was an election
00:39:14.360 year. And Trump had been very controversial, but finally people were starting to agree that the
00:39:20.980 economy was really taking off. So then they shut it all down. And then anybody who objected was
00:39:28.100 a partisan, they called them, and they were following the science. And they systematically
00:39:33.220 through 2020 basically blew up the deficit destroyed the economy destroyed the educational
00:39:39.700 system and then they characterized that destruction as over the objections of the yahoos and then when
00:39:49.240 joe biden uh was selected strangely when everybody dropped out and he was the nominee then it was
00:39:56.160 that was his campaign thing i'm going to retain fauci he is the science we're not going to let
00:40:01.960 these people and they were even lying about you know joe biden said no one was vaccinated 17
00:40:06.760 million people were vaccinated before he even got in there and then you remember when pfizer was
00:40:11.860 going to announce that the uh so-called uh elect the mrna vaccinations worked and they were going
00:40:19.200 to do it before the election and there was so much pressure to delay that announcement until
00:40:24.980 after the election they said well the board was not that there was no politics but it was
00:40:29.760 everything was politically driven in that cycle about covid and he he was pulling the strings
00:40:36.640 behind every public official he was he it was all fauci he he writes in here uh rochelle walensky
00:40:43.260 remember her over at the cdc may 13th 2021 walensky calls to say she is changing the mask guidance
00:40:50.280 for vaccinated americans fauci she will take my advice i'm very pleased that she listened to me
00:40:57.780 Then he writes the radical right wing maniacs who blame me for the rigidity of the CDC recommendations will probably not realize at all that it was me that triggered this change on vaccines.
00:41:09.920 He writes in September of twenty twenty one, the CDC's independent vaccine advisory committee.
00:41:14.680 Well, this is what was happening. Voted nine to six against the booster recommendations.
00:41:18.440 The White House wants Fauci text Walensky and writes in his own words that he, quote, begged her to override the vote.
00:41:25.880 his entry. Alas, Rochelle, listen to me. She overruled the recommendation of this independent
00:41:32.400 advisory group. He congratulates her on finally showing, quote, clear leadership. So both masks
00:41:38.840 and vaccines and boosters, he was pulling the strings. And finally, this, Victor, just a couple
00:41:44.220 of examples of how more examples of how much he was loving the love. When I left the White House
00:41:49.840 and crossed Pennsylvania and 17th Street, several cars honked their horns and shouted,
00:41:54.860 thank you out the window this is so bizarre wait let me read you a couple more um pointing out that
00:42:02.760 he got invited to go on dancing with the stars and was super thrilled that he received that
00:42:08.240 invitation okay great good for you that's not tough to get um then he kept the washington post
00:42:15.180 column comparing a rand paul cross-examination of him to quote watching albert einstein being
00:42:22.660 disputed by his dry cleaner. He then kept the Joan Baez portrait and her calling him an American
00:42:30.280 hero. He kept the cookies from Joe and Jill Biden with the note, you are our hero. And Julia Roberts
00:42:37.720 gasping on an Instagram live stream that he was her personal hero. Every person who ever paid him
00:42:46.560 compliment is documented in here. And you know what? There was also a class element. It was all
00:42:52.720 of these legacy media people who had these degrees they felt from impressive places and this sense
00:42:59.640 of self. And he was right on one thing when Fauci said, I am the science. He was wrong about science,
00:43:06.120 though. What he was really saying is, I am the official face of the establishment version of
00:43:11.680 the science and that was true but i think he even said and you can correct me if i'm wrong
00:43:16.740 i i read it uh this morning in depth but he said i think he called laura ingram or somebody wrote
00:43:24.120 to him poria is that what they said pora for her laura and how did she ever get out into dartman
00:43:31.040 and i mean i think i think it's that one that uh he got from tapper yeah yes but in that in that
00:43:38.600 text yeah like he did call her porra ingram yeah like that was tapper did who let this person into
00:43:43.980 our school and ran paul is a dry clean dry cleaning person what's wrong with a dry cleaning
00:43:50.520 person they're very important people but he's he just drips this this condensation he's so
00:43:57.360 condescending and he has contempt for people and it was all part of that again that picture
00:44:02.360 that the yahoos had taken over washington and he had his finger in the dike and he was protecting
00:44:08.180 rational people in science the whole time he was lying and he was irrational and all the science
00:44:15.440 was absolutely antithetical to everything he was saying and he was saying things that he knew were
00:44:20.700 wrong because he was trying to protect his own culpability and i don't know what's going to
00:44:25.280 happen to him but it makes if you think about the number of people who died it even makes the whole
00:44:30.960 51 experts who lied about the hunter laptop and all that stuff look minor in comparison
00:44:36.660 and it was really terrible what he did and and the children like the learning loss it wasn't
00:44:43.180 just new york where he got the schools closed and we know that from his own admission he i mean as
00:44:49.560 i read to you moments ago you know i spoke with bill de blasio i convinced him based on what i
00:44:55.220 was saying publicly in my conversation night to close the new york city schools i i i was there
00:45:00.600 I mean, we were part of the school system when he did that.
00:45:04.280 And my friend had her kids in those public schools for the duration.
00:45:08.600 And when finally, after nearly 18 months, she attended an open the schools rally.
00:45:16.600 She got called a white supremacist that.
00:45:20.860 And now she is more MAGA than anyone I know.
00:45:25.120 She is a MAGA hat wearing Trump, you know, supporting, getting people to vote for Trump and so is her whole family because of this stuff.
00:45:34.540 But but to my point that I was trying to make, he writes, I had a similar call with Anne O'Leary, the chief of staff for Governor Gavin Newsom of California and said, based on my TV appearances today and yesterday, the governor has decided to close the schools in California as well as the bars and restaurants.
00:45:50.720 He wants credit for the learning loss that he inflicted on students in two of the biggest, greatest cities in the world, which went totally over the top with it.
00:46:04.060 This is Jennifer Say, who now runs XXXY Athletics, lost her job as an executive at Levi's because she was one of those California moms who said, is this really necessary?
00:46:15.340 This is going on too long.
00:46:16.760 This is not good for the children.
00:46:17.880 And Levi's, those villains, turned on her and basically pushed her out of her dream job just for that.
00:46:26.520 Like the number of consequences, Victor, that happened to so many children, not to mention adults, because of this villain.
00:46:32.860 And then the other villain, Joe Biden, who gave him with his magic wand a complete pass for it all.
00:46:39.920 So on Wednesday, we'll be praying.
00:46:41.720 We'll be hoping and praying that he says something new that's false for which he can be indicted.
00:46:46.640 But he knows that's what's going to happen.
00:46:48.380 So he's going to be super careful or he's going to forget everything or he's just going to say on the grounds of, you know, Fifth Amendment, I choose not to say anything if he thinks he's on quicksand.
00:46:56.700 And it will be left biting the heels of our hands again because he's a slippery snake of a man.
00:47:05.940 he is and the people but the the thing that will save him is there's 50 or 60 marquee journalists
00:47:13.600 that are invested in his lies because they put him on and on and on and they nodded their heads
00:47:18.660 and they praised him like your clip showed and they they don't want him to fail they want him to
00:47:24.420 be uh exonerated and they will write as soon as sure as the sun comes up the next day they will
00:47:30.780 right how brave he was and how he spoke truth the power and what a yokel ran paul or jim jordan
00:47:39.080 whoever is you're right and that's how he operates he was a he had to give the reason he was so
00:47:45.180 successful he turned an otherwise obscure agency into the most important medical uh department in
00:47:52.460 the federal government and their statutory in statutory terms it wasn't but he did it because
00:47:58.320 he was there so long and he knew how to play politics and ingratiate himself with the
00:48:03.040 presidents and he knew the stakes for him he did and he was stabbing trump in the back all the time
00:48:07.760 and yet he did persuade trump to do all these things and then he was saying we were developing
00:48:13.060 this strange relationship i'm working on it but he was actually trashing trump to all of his media
00:48:19.140 people and he was trying to get rid of anybody in the white house that was giving uh counter advice
00:48:26.320 and it worked and um he did a lot of damage and um i don't it just it's just a cautionary tale
00:48:36.520 that when somebody can't address the argument and can't address uh rational objections and
00:48:43.740 then has to go back to titles and media and reputation you know it's it's toxic and that's
00:48:50.140 what he did and you know that the last thing they didn't even believe it you remember when all this
00:48:55.380 was going on gavin was showing up at the french laundry with his with his lobby friends without
00:49:00.900 mask he went down to la at a sporting event without a mask nancy pelosi was going to get
00:49:05.860 her hair done supposedly to a store to a hairdresser it was shut down but she opened just
00:49:12.540 up for nancy and we had even fauci i think he was at a baseball game he said you should wear
00:49:17.320 mask all the time and he you can see and there's nobody around him and he has his mask off they
00:49:22.160 didn't even believe it nobody believed then he will never believe our public health officials
00:49:26.660 again i'm sorry we just won't after this this is so devastating to faith in public officials never
00:49:32.140 mind public health officials we just won't like so many people accepted this not unquestioningly
00:49:39.500 but ultimately accepted it because you know it's to some extent it was like you were forced to to
00:49:43.680 live in new york city good luck going out to a restaurant if you didn't have your vaccine card
00:49:47.100 with proof of all your vaccines and so on.
00:49:49.880 I just think we are never going to accept
00:49:52.940 the word of officials in public health again.
00:49:56.180 And that's unfortunate
00:49:57.400 because there actually could come a time
00:49:59.040 when we need to.
00:50:00.560 It is.
00:50:01.080 And they really mischaracterized the opposition.
00:50:04.280 Those scientists that you interviewed
00:50:06.580 and Scott and others,
00:50:07.720 they weren't saying that it wasn't a dangerous disease.
00:50:10.480 They were saying you're wasting your resources
00:50:12.960 with a scattershot approach.
00:50:14.880 You're going and trying to shut down the schools when the evidence, the scientific proof shows that somebody 5 to 15 is likely to have a different immune response and can weather the virus without shutting down the entire schools.
00:50:30.220 And unfortunately, you're taking away resources from people 65 and older that we need to concentrate who will die.
00:50:38.420 But that didn't come across.
00:50:40.180 They mischaracterized everything they said.
00:50:42.000 they said they just want a herd immunity let it rip they want to kill everybody and they didn't
00:50:46.580 they were saying you're going to kill people by misallotting the resources that are finite
00:50:51.800 to places where the the demography is going to make it through but the other demography is not
00:50:58.660 and we learned that in new york with andrew cuomo and there was all of these older people died
00:51:04.440 because we had the same policy across the board and then when they inject and they didn't care
00:51:10.160 They didn't care about the harmed children at all, unlike the great Barrington doctors who wanted focused protection.
00:51:17.120 I got to run for a second, but we'll be back on the opposite side of this break.
00:51:20.500 BDH stays with us for the show.

00:51:26.440 Gas, groceries, insurance.
00:51:28.560 If you're a homeowner, you may have thought, should I refinance to pay off this credit card debt, which is so high?
00:51:34.100 Well, then you second guess yourself because of that low mortgage rate you currently have.
00:51:37.440 Listen, that low rate, it may not be saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest
00:51:42.660 at 25% or more.

00:53:11.200 this just in uh cnn's jake tapper to write a book highlighting all the lies told by anthony
00:53:23.180 Fauci during the COVID pandemic pandemic. It's going to be called original sin, too. And he
00:53:29.840 is going to argue. How could he possibly have known he did? He couldn't have known. But now
00:53:36.180 it's recently been brought to his attention that Fauci told a bunch of lies. And he and the guy
00:53:42.140 from Axios are going to be the ones to blow this story wide open. We look forward to that.
00:53:47.220 Are you serious? I joke. Oh, I know. I joke, of course.
00:53:50.780 but doesn't it feel like that's what's going to have to happen next
00:53:57.820 something like that the gas lighting will continue we were just talking in the break
00:54:04.260 with my team about how embarrassing this is like if i were jake tapper i would be humiliated
00:54:09.680 one of the things that was in my packet there was a note from um stephanopoulos to um
00:54:17.300 fauci as documented by fauci in his little diary where stefanopoulos wrote thank you tony so
00:54:24.240 impressive and i didn't raise it because that actually is normal i think just like
00:54:29.040 when somebody comes on you send him a nice note you know somebody from the government who doesn't
00:54:33.840 who's doing you a solid he said something nice about how he did on the air that's normal anchor
00:54:38.440 stuff to be honest i'm not going to give stefanopoulos a hard time for that that shit with
00:54:42.320 jake tapper having him over apparently twice for dinner and he's the most controversial person in
00:54:47.980 america at least one of them in the government and you're schmoozing with him you're ripping
00:54:53.460 on other news anchors like this you crossed a line bro you've crossed a line like you've gotten
00:54:58.280 too chummy with the subject of what's supposed to be objective reporting and i think it'd be
00:55:05.080 one thing if his reporting were super hard on fauci and we're like oh he was able to do it anyway but
00:55:09.140 No, he wasn't, and none of them was.
00:55:11.560 I mean, they all loved the guy.
00:55:12.960 He was a superhero to them.
00:55:15.200 And they were just mimicking that no one ever said, we owe him all these things.
00:55:20.540 He's a genius.
00:55:21.500 He's the science.
00:55:22.560 But they never said why.
00:55:24.700 I remember right during the George Floyd, it was in Minnesota, there were tens of thousands
00:55:29.340 of social health workers, nurses that went out and violated.
00:55:33.940 You remember that?
00:55:34.520 They violated the entire lockdown.
00:55:36.980 They took off and they were out protesting on behalf of George Floyd.
00:55:42.040 And then they said, we're doing this because the mental health crisis is worse than COVID.
00:55:49.060 In other words, they were saying, we're already picking and choosing who's exempt from Fauci's lockdown.
00:55:55.640 And it just destroyed all confidence of the American people.
00:55:58.720 They said, you know, Gavin's not doing this and Nancy's not doing this.
00:56:01.900 And now we've got people out in the street that's saying that they're actual health workers and they don't even believe it.
00:56:08.080 They can pick and choose when to be social distancing or isolated.
00:56:12.180 And it just it just blew up.
00:56:14.800 And everybody said, this is a joke.
00:56:16.760 These people don't even know.
00:56:18.060 You know why, Victor, you know, you know why they saw him as such a hero?
00:56:21.620 Because of fear, because of safetyism.
00:56:25.900 Mike Rowe does such a good job of calling this out.
00:56:29.120 You know, I know the founder of the show, Dirty Jobs, and he spent his whole adult life with guys who are not afraid to to live life with a little risk, whether, you know, it's an electrician who's up in the crane working on the lines above us all like could get electrocuted at any minute.
00:56:45.940 or those construction guys who are dealing with heavy equipment in the middle of the road and
00:56:50.700 very dangerous situations. These guys have courage and they have to exercise it literally every day
00:56:56.120 just to earn a paycheck, which is the opposite of most journalists. I remember that. I had a
00:57:02.020 two-year hiatus from Stanford University's Hoover. You couldn't go on campus at Stanford.
00:57:06.600 If you went on campus, Megan, and they had your ping, then you were given a text message because
00:57:13.320 you weren't supposed to even be to your office. I'm not talking about a public meeting. I'm saying
00:57:17.260 you wanted to go on office to get a book. You were not allowed to go on campus. And then if you
00:57:22.080 were caught with your ping, then you were given a text message that you had a certain amount of
00:57:27.700 time to go to a kiosk and take a test immediately. And they were tracking you. They were tracking
00:57:33.440 you. And I remember being on the farm here and that it was kind of strange because all within a
00:57:39.420 week the washer and dryer went out and the um the oven went out and i got a catalog and here came
00:57:47.520 these people from home depot they were working class people and i said are you guys locked down
00:57:53.900 they said no we're we go into everybody's house every single day we and i said if we didn't have
00:57:59.420 people like you what would happen so for all the lockdown it was mostly the professional classes
00:58:04.720 and the teachers and lawyers and courtroom and media but there was the working class they were
00:58:12.260 still fixing pipes and wiring and delivering stuff to people and they were risking according
00:58:18.060 to Fauci they they were interacting with the public and so he said on the one hand we can't
00:58:23.860 we can't we have to shut down everything we have to social distance asterisk but certain classes
00:58:28.740 of people were going to exempt because without them it really told you who was important it
00:58:33.880 surely wasn't professors like myself because nobody missed us and uh the teachers in k through
00:58:40.300 12 i think were missed but a lot of the professors weren't a lot of people in the media weren't
00:58:45.460 and a lot of lawyers were not missed but guys that were delivering and fixing the safetyism
00:58:52.100 it reminded me because you know we're going to talk about the rejiggered uh white house
00:58:58.640 correspondence dinner which just happened yeah um and president trump showed up to his credit you
00:59:04.920 know he that he almost somebody was there to kill him at this white house correspondence dinner that
00:59:10.380 tried to have that they tried to have a couple months ago and they had to cancel it and trump
00:59:13.920 said we're coming back together i don't care if it's the middle of july we're coming back together
00:59:17.920 because we're not letting this guy have this heckler's veto but at the first one where the guy
00:59:22.020 was shooting outside of the ballroom he he never got anywhere near the ballroom he was on a totally
00:59:26.740 different level. He would have had to take a massive escalator down to get anywhere near the
00:59:30.260 ballroom. And he didn't get close to that. But I understand hearing shots fired someplace outside
00:59:35.560 the ballroom would be disconcerting when you're anywhere near the president. Just quick aside,
00:59:41.140 there was a great story about a journalist who was with Trump at the America's 250th when he had
00:59:48.580 the UFC event. I think it was Joe Rogan. Yeah, it was Joe Rogan. And Joe Rogan said something to
00:59:52.340 Trump to the effect of like, aren't you worried about like getting assassinated or like a bomb
00:59:58.860 going off or something, you know, at one of these events where you are because they want,
01:00:01.960 they want to kill you so badly. And Trump's basically said, you know, when it's your time,
01:00:06.380 it's your time. And Joe Rogan took a big step away from Donald. Like, oh my God,
01:00:14.660 because that's just Trump. Like he's, he has no safetyism. He has no fear really in any area of
01:00:20.700 his life. But when you saw the press inside that event, Victor, which clearly was not the main
01:00:27.840 target of that lunatic who was running through the magnetometers, obviously it was Trump or an
01:00:34.020 official from the White House. All the press reporting on it later acted as though they were
01:00:40.280 target number one. They were basically like, you know, the bullet flew past my nose. I barely made
01:00:47.080 it to camera. You know, I mean, they played it up so much. I'm like, would you just stop?
01:00:52.300 Everyone's fine. The guy's in custody. You were not almost killed. You're fine. President Trump's
01:00:58.660 not talking about it this way. President Trump has already been on camera saying, let's go back
01:01:02.900 in the room. Let's have the party still tonight. It's only Secret Service that stopped it. And so
01:01:08.520 it's that same group of people that's calling Fauci a hero. We're so grateful to you. I know
01:01:15.860 it they live in an echo chamber they don't they don't lead real lives they have no physical life
01:01:20.700 at all i mean they don't know how to fix anything they don't know how to relate to people of
01:01:24.180 different classes they're all confined to that new york washington corridor and they they have
01:01:31.720 exalted obviously if you see from fauci he has an i like the idea that we were all saying files now
01:01:38.280 because it's redolent of the epstein file and i bet that really that really bothers him because
01:01:45.700 that's not a very scientific fauci heard a lot more people than epstein did oh a lot more
01:01:49.940 amazingly millions millions millions millions and so uh this really i i don't know it's hard to say
01:01:57.640 with the whole cover-up of joe biden's mental cognitive decline or the hunter's laptop or the
01:02:03.760 steel dossier but finally um this one was different because so many people died and it was not even
01:02:09.820 that you remember in the these fauci files that have come out there were people from all over the
01:02:14.680 world from israel and south america that their their health directors were calling fauci and he
01:02:20.940 was bragging that he was setting policy basically for the whole world that because he was at this
01:02:27.020 and ted ross he mentions ted ross he's discredited the guy at the who that was controlled by the
01:02:32.100 chinese and everybody was worldwide it wasn't just in the united states it was a global policy that
01:02:38.700 he established and europeans were calling him and there was no reason for that he had no it was
01:02:45.520 should have been calling him to find out how to cause it yes that's clearly what he did there's
01:02:50.520 never been any proof positive that his gain-of-function research led directly to this
01:02:56.020 this virus but we all know that's what happened they don't have the final piece of it because
01:03:01.100 he wouldn't allow it he he was shutting down that investigation at every turn he never wanted it
01:03:06.820 the blanket lifted up that much because he knew, I would argue strongly, he knew what they would
01:03:13.500 find. So we never got it. But let's move on. Let's keep going because I do want to talk a bit about
01:03:18.300 what happened at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Friday night. So good for him. He goes
01:03:24.340 back into the lion's den. He knows they all hate him, Victor. And among other things, he's getting
01:03:30.720 a lot of crap the president is for the jokes he told about caitlin collins who is never
01:03:37.980 nice to the president she's always nasty she's always making negative commentary about him her
01:03:44.340 questions always have the most negative bent you could possibly go into the questioning with
01:03:49.420 so the president did what all presidents do he got up there and he gave her a little jazz which
01:03:55.540 is kind of what they do but the press didn't like the way he did it sought for i don't want to
01:04:00.300 personally congratulate CNN's Caitlin Callens on receiving her award. It was all about me. It's a
01:04:09.160 fake. She shouldn't get the award. It was a fake, but I didn't mind. I said, Caitlin, congratulations.
01:04:14.920 But it was fake. There's no question about it. But she's a young, attractive woman. She never smiles.
01:04:20.960 I said, Caitlin, do you ever smile? Smile. You have a nice position. You're at CNN fake news.
01:04:28.080 you should be a happy person. So smile, Caitlin, just smile. But we attack. And I thought Caitlin
01:04:34.740 had really made it big with a major new sponsorship. But then I informed her that
01:04:42.040 it wasn't her on the Bud Light can. It was Dylan Mulvaney.
01:04:48.520 Okay. Right. You're laughing. I'm laughing too. It's funny. It isn't. It's clever because it
01:04:56.840 puts the left in such a difficult position victor because they have to say that's not
01:05:00.560 complimentary so they have to rip on a trans person which they definitely don't want to do
01:05:05.580 no but on the other hand it wasn't like barack obama after ordering 500 assassinations on the
01:05:12.780 afghan pakistan border with predators and then three u.s citizens they probably deserved it but
01:05:20.160 they were killed and there was no congressional authorization for any of that then he's at the
01:05:23.980 white house dinner obama did and he said you know when guys come near my daughters i say to them
01:05:31.320 predator p-r-e-d-a-t-o remember that and he was making fun of we have a little bit of that here's
01:05:38.920 here's just a small clip of that sat 12 the jonas brothers are here
01:05:43.020 they're out there somewhere sasha and malia are huge fans but uh boys don't get any ideas
01:05:53.000 i have two words for you predator drones you will never see it coming
01:06:00.500 yeah they're laughing it up i love that one yeah laughing it up i mean these were terrorists
01:06:10.240 supposedly but we we that was a decision he made judge jury and executioner if you were anywhere
01:06:16.240 and near it we just took them out and you know here we are arguing i i've been reading the media
01:06:23.340 or saying things like well trump may use a dual use target a bridge or a power plant in the next
01:06:29.820 round i'm thinking well yeah that's what obama did he went to libya and bombed ports and facilities
01:06:36.980 and clinton bombed all the bridges on the danube and but this this it's very asymmetrical their
01:06:43.380 morality it's all transactional yes so they're also they're they're very unhappy and then today
01:06:50.140 he doubled down on his attack against caitlin collins by posting a a meme of her her face on
01:06:58.300 dylan mulvaney's body with those bud light cans only she's smiling here so that they're horrified
01:07:05.340 by that too they'd say he's put them in a very difficult position because you you you basically
01:07:09.860 have to say it's insulting to to compare her to dylan mulvaney why is it insulting because dylan
01:07:16.700 mulvaney's a man that's they they just won't close that circle but we all know why they find
01:07:22.240 it insulting then they're also upset because he's he referred to certain people as fat
01:07:28.060 it's kind of what trump does he's constantly making fun of like he joked that next year
01:07:35.280 chris christie would be a part of a ufc fight against jb pritzker in the quote heaviest of
01:07:39.720 the heavyweights division they would be fighting for a big piece of cheesecake he said he also said
01:07:45.840 he was told to stop calling pritzker fat but he can't help it so they did not laugh victor they
01:07:52.520 did not think that was funny i know they you know they didn't seem to have much of a problem when um
01:07:58.100 It was Wanda Sykes up there making inappropriate jokes about hoping Rush Limbaugh would die, which Obama thought was funny.
01:08:07.560 Here's 11. This is from 2009.
01:08:10.820 Rush Limbaugh. I hope the country fails. I hope his kidneys fail. How about that?
01:08:19.680 He needs a good water board and that's what he needs.
01:08:24.420 so so which is more offensive when you you think it's funny that someone has hoped that
01:08:31.800 rush limbaugh's kidneys fail and that he dies or that the president says these two guys are
01:08:38.720 overweight and should battle for a piece of cheesecake yeah i mean here's a president that
01:08:43.040 had three assassination attempts in which the secret service returned fire at the purported
01:08:49.240 shooter. And Robert De Niro says, I think he's on three times now on record of saying he wants to
01:08:56.740 hit the president in the face. Madonna said she wanted to blow up the White House. Kathy Griffith
01:09:02.220 basically wanted him beheaded. The Shakespeare in the Park, as I remember, made Shakespeare
01:09:09.060 Caesar as Trump being stabbed by all of the conspirators. And then we had Snoop Dogg shooting
01:09:15.260 him i think the the celebrity chef berdine said he would like to poison him so that's okay but
01:09:23.160 they threatened to kill the president our top celebrities and no one said a word and then that
01:09:29.200 was in a climate that later you know if if you were a leftist you would say you people lowered
01:09:34.200 the bar of the acceptable about killing the president and therefore that you brought out
01:09:38.460 all the nuts and you could say it about all the left chuck schumer said you gorsuch kavanaugh
01:09:45.000 you sowed the wind you're going to reap the whirlwind you don't know what's going to hit you
01:09:48.460 and then you know a year and a half later two years an assassin shows up at Gorsuch's home
01:09:53.780 but they never it's all one way and I think that's what that drives Trump crazy and he uses the word
01:10:00.260 fake news and he gets angry and then they say he's not professional but they're very sober and
01:10:05.280 judicious and they do really terrible things and they think that the I guess it's the method and
01:10:11.840 the methodology is more important to them than the message so if you can say you want to kill
01:10:17.140 trump but you have a title and you're sober and you do it in a very professional manner then it's
01:10:22.500 okay but if it's never the content it's the manner and who you are and how you do it trump doesn't
01:10:29.560 care think about this there where's their outrage about anthony fauci lying to them for for months
01:10:35.540 and years about anthony fauci leading to all those deaths about anthony fauci literally
01:10:41.180 resulting in the abuse, the serial abuse of children who weren't allowed to go to school
01:10:46.060 or learn or play basketball or, you know, et cetera, get fat, who were getting fat because
01:10:50.380 they weren't allowed to exercise, which is very bad for kids. Where's their outrage about that
01:10:54.540 as opposed to dumb fat jokes at the White House Correspondents' Dinner? Here's what we saw. CNN
01:11:01.260 had like a little running ticker on the side of its presidential feed with their little comments.
01:11:06.840 And here's Brian Stelter. I'm sure a few for it's hard to read. I'm sure a few of his jabs will travel well on social media. But the fat jokes in in quotations just seemed sad.
01:11:24.620 Then you get MS Now. Trump made a mockery out of the White House Correspondents Association. Washington Post. Trump's insult laden speech to press dinner draws mostly stunned silence. The Washington Post tweeted out he told a sex joke and several fat jokes. He called Senator Adam Schiff watermelon head. What cares? What is that? He went on long tangents. President Trump's speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner swerved between jokes that fell flat.
01:11:54.620 and flat out insults. Well, yeah. I mean, of course they fell flat in front of this
01:12:00.780 crowd, which is probably why Trump won't do it again, because they are not in good humor about
01:12:06.120 themselves. That's the last group of things that they could laugh about.
01:12:09.820 No, they only laugh when somebody that they despise is on the other end of the receiving end.
01:12:16.360 But the funny thing about it is they make jokes all the time about Trump's weight. They always
01:12:21.300 say that he's an 80 year octogenarian near octogenarian and he's he's eats big macs and
01:12:27.760 he's overweight and they have all their skin color and his hair his hair everything about him they
01:12:33.440 all show that he's a wreck and i can remember with that bandy lee said he was crazy and he
01:12:38.200 needed to have intervention and and we remember that andrew mccabe and ron rosenstein were going
01:12:44.540 to tape him because they found out that they said they could prove he was mentally ill they talked
01:12:49.860 about doing that that was the whole idea that he was out of shape that he was going to die any day
01:12:55.740 they they have just just the other day i saw some media person said he wears diapers he smells he's
01:13:03.640 too heavy they they do that all the time and they don't do it just on an occasion they do it as part
01:13:09.240 of the normal news reporting or interviewing and so i don't think the only good thing about it is
01:13:16.880 i don't i think we're at peak media turnoff and i think most people are fatigued by them now they
01:13:23.900 just think you know what we don't it's true we don't care what you say about trump maybe some
01:13:28.840 of it's true maybe some of it's not maybe screwed here and there but we don't care anymore because
01:13:33.060 you're totally discredited don't listen to you anymore we don't listen to you so don lemon was
01:13:37.800 on the receiving end of the most gentle trump barb ever like he passingly called him low iq
01:13:43.560 that's okay but what that's a day ending and why for trump if he doesn't like you or if he's pissed
01:13:49.440 off at you like lemon felt the need to respond vdh and i want to i feel the need to give a viewer
01:13:55.140 warning here he responded from his bed wearing no clothes so let's see let's check in because of
01:14:03.980 course god forbid he not use the moment to make it about himself and and paint himself as though
01:14:11.340 he were the star of trump's remarks here it is so it's friday night i'm in bed i'm trying to chill
01:14:16.500 and then my phone starts blowing we're all here the dog we're all hanging out like going to bed
01:14:21.000 having a quiet friday night and my phone starts blowing up people saying some old man is on
01:14:27.040 television feeble old man ranting about you well it turns out it's donald trump that's who it is
01:14:33.020 donald trump talking about me at the white house correspondent center donald trump i'm not even in
01:14:38.000 the room why are you talking about me instead of making things better for the average american
01:14:43.100 why aren't you doing that why aren't you trying to get us out of a war that you started why aren't
01:14:46.920 you trying to get us out of these high gas prices like do something to help people instead of like
01:14:52.300 ranting about me why are you so obsessed with me no wonder people ask me like if you're going to
01:14:59.460 run for president because i'd certainly be a better one than you i wouldn't be obsessed with
01:15:04.520 you he's obsessed with himself he's it's so silly he starts saying that trump is obsessed
01:15:11.740 obsessed with him and then he starts talking about himself that he's going to run for president he
01:15:16.560 would be a better president and then suddenly the whole thing's about him as it always is
01:15:20.280 so yeah that's who he's obsessed with like why are you so obsessed with me oh my god like that's
01:15:26.040 his go-to perceived clever remark whenever anybody talks about him i mean like trump that's what he
01:15:33.460 does he gives it back to journalists who give it to him yeah that's he does one of his signatures
01:15:38.040 and they can't stand it he doesn't understand when you get in the ring with donald trump if
01:15:42.060 you look at the graveyard of major media people at ms ms ms what was msnbc and cnn he
01:15:50.720 trump has done something to them that they destroyed their careers and they're you know
01:15:56.720 what i mean there's a whole there's a whole graveyard of people and pollock the never trump
01:16:00.860 people that were very columnist uh major conservative and liberal op-ed writers that
01:16:07.540 were so obsessed i'm talking about new york times washington post they've all destroyed themselves
01:16:13.460 there and they don't they don't understand you know look at all these people who were very
01:16:19.660 prominent um john bolton gosh everybody quoted him and yet he was so obsessed he had to write a
01:16:25.500 memoir uh and time it to the 2020 election so it would destroy trump even though he was warned by
01:16:31.880 a federal judge that you know your book is going to come out but you're going to face consequences
01:16:37.340 sometimes because you violated confidentiality laws and he but it was joe biden's doj that began
01:16:45.120 that investigation even though the media was like oh trump this is his part of his retribution
01:16:49.260 campaign it's like joe biden started it and bolton pled guilty so i'd love to hear your
01:16:54.100 acknowledgement that this wasn't trump's lawfare yeah and all he all bolton had to do was saying
01:16:58.460 you know i always wanted to be in government and no one would ever confirm me and even when i was
01:17:04.180 un ambassador under bush it was a recess appointment and trump gave me the opportunity
01:17:09.900 of a lifetime to be national security advisor and i took that to almost immediately
01:17:15.340 craft a strategy to make him look stupid and then time it to make a lot of money
01:17:21.200 on a bestseller and he just he single-handedly destroyed his own career comey destroyed his
01:17:27.520 own career robert muller destroyed his reputation andrew mccabe destroyed his reputation mark milley
01:17:34.340 destroyed his reputation all of the some of the most illustrious generals we destroyed
01:17:39.760 their their reputations because they were just so obsessive bill crystal used to be on everybody's
01:17:47.560 TV show. He just endorsed Mondami. He said he would have voted for him. So I don't know what
01:17:55.000 it is about Trump, but there's something about him that people get so obsessed. I don't know
01:18:00.480 if it's his appearance or his behavior or his accent, but they become obsessed with him.
01:18:09.080 Don Lemon basically destroyed his own career. Brian Selker destroyed his career. All these
01:18:14.420 people did because that's all they talked about non-stop and they don't they never have any
01:18:21.620 self-awareness self-reflection of what they what they became the whole oh he just got so excited
01:18:27.500 to hear like his name mentioned in any public setting like i'm relevant i'm relevant he did
01:18:33.100 and then thought people would admire him with his shirt off well they don't no and they think if you
01:18:37.680 hate trump then all of a sudden you're in and you're that's acceptable and everybody's going
01:18:42.240 like you but there's you know there's only one trump but he can't go around that much there's
01:18:47.860 so many people are using him to say that he hates me he hates me i'm a victim rally to my cause and
01:18:54.960 it's just they and they say crazy robert de niro was an acclaimed actor actor and he became so
01:19:01.740 obsessed with donald he can't finish the sentence without talking about physically hitting him it's
01:19:07.180 really embarrassing okay now i want to i want to stay on this you know what's happening to
01:19:13.980 these journalists slash men of the left it's the same group obviously that i don't watch sports
01:19:22.960 and i don't really cover a lot of sports in this show unless it becomes news but this guy has
01:19:28.360 become news and now his name is ryan clark and up until very recently he worked for espn victor and
01:19:35.340 he was super, super confident when he wanted to rip on anything relating to MAGA, Trump or
01:19:44.300 Republican politics, including Charlie Kirk. Listen here. First off, it's the second most
01:19:50.720 ridiculous thing he said this week. The first was standing on campus and saying he wanted to put
01:19:55.720 a statue of somebody that doesn't represent the people of Louisiana, doesn't represent the players
01:20:01.600 and the students at LSU doesn't represent the executives that work there. That was the first
01:20:07.400 dumb thing he said this week. This is the second dumbest.
01:20:11.760 He's ripping there on the Louisiana governor for wanting a Charlie Kirk statue at the university,
01:20:16.120 which clearly he objected to. So super bold and it's got a strong opinions. Okay, great. Don't
01:20:21.100 be afraid to express them. And then ESPN fired him this week or last week in the round of making
01:20:28.820 some layoffs, I guess. And it didn't go very well. He didn't handle it very well. Here's how
01:20:36.200 that sounded. When I go home and this kid, you know, from the West Bank is like so accepted
01:20:52.620 in New Orleans now?
01:20:56.760 Like, I wouldn't change that.
01:20:59.280 You know?
01:21:00.080 Never.
01:21:03.360 You know, like,
01:21:04.920 all I ever wanted to do
01:21:08.980 was be accepted.
01:21:11.500 You know, and want it.
01:21:13.780 So.
01:21:15.920 I'm like, I'm sorry.
01:21:17.560 It's just beneath the dignity, right?
01:21:19.640 To, like, go out there.
01:21:21.540 all i ever wanted was to be accepted what are you talking about the layoffs like companies do it
01:21:25.740 it's unpleasant for everyone it doesn't mean anything about you personally obviously you
01:21:30.340 weren't one of their top stars they would have kept you so he's not wrong there but but just
01:21:34.720 one more for you victor jason whitlock found this this guy full of i was this false hubris or what
01:21:40.760 because this is how he talked about himself uh separate and apart from this listen here
01:21:46.500 he said i don't know about everybody else i don't know about every other show i don't know what
01:21:52.460 they're gonna take you off i don't know what they're gonna put you on i don't know about that
01:21:55.560 but you'll be on monday night countdown you'll work at halftime you're gonna finish every night
01:22:05.480 with scott because you're the best we have
01:22:08.740 and i remember walking back to the trailer like skipping
01:22:17.000 you know i'm saying because i was so down and i was hiding it because i was like man they gonna
01:22:24.520 like they gonna try to get me over this like do they even and i just remember walking back and
01:22:29.360 being like he's right i am actually the best you know i've heard him a couple times he's
01:22:38.600 not the best yeah you go and he's obsessed with race that's why he was fired i think because
01:22:43.400 almost every single uh episode where he starts off script he starts talking about race and racial
01:22:51.400 this and racial that and racial that and he misread his audience people in the country have
01:22:57.340 that fatigue they want to go beyond it they don't think race is essential to your persona anymore
01:23:02.580 they've been through the george floyd they've been through the last six years
01:23:05.920 they they understand all of these different issues but one thing they agree on is the country won't
01:23:11.540 make it if we have these demagogues that keep trying to essentialize race race race focus and
01:23:18.420 use it and leverage it for their own career and they're tired of it so there was no audience for
01:23:22.920 what he was saying in fact there was a he was bleeding an audience and he didn't understand
01:23:28.160 that and he kept he thought it was still 2020 and you know everybody was giving a dei repertory
01:23:36.180 benefits to people based on their skin color and it's not we were transcended that i think people
01:23:42.580 really fatigued out of that issue as well well except for nancy armor over at usa today yeah
01:23:49.600 well that's an exception it it's incredible right this audience says we've been talking about this
01:23:55.900 nutcase for years on this show because she's so pro trans athletes running in women's track and
01:24:02.180 field and playing in girl sports. She, I mean, she's never seen the trans athlete she wants to
01:24:06.620 ban from the girl sport, no matter how much danger it puts the girls in. And now she writes this
01:24:12.540 insane, insane piece about Caitlin Clark, how she has to stop quote flopping where you overact in
01:24:18.920 in response to an alleged injury in order to get a foul because of Emmett Till. Literally,
01:24:25.440 that's what she wrote because how many years ago, 50, 60 years ago, Emmett Till was lynched.
01:24:34.740 And as a result of that, by, by white racists in Mississippi. And as a result of that,
01:24:39.020 Caitlin Clark should not flop because the WNBA is mostly black women and she's creating that
01:24:44.960 same risk for them. I mean, literally this woman wrote this in the USA Today newspaper, and it was
01:24:52.080 so crazy that there was kind of universal backlash against USA Today. Like, you've lost your minds.
01:24:59.240 So then she posted this to her ex-account, Victor. In my recent column, I made an inartful comparison
01:25:07.020 with the murder of Emmett Till. The murder of Emmett Till. I intended to connect the issues
01:25:13.280 the WNBA is currently facing with its all-star game being hosted in Till's hometown of Chicago.
01:25:18.020 I obviously did not provide enough context for that. See, that was the problem. She needed more
01:25:25.060 context in order for us not to be offended. However, this point stands. There is a history
01:25:31.220 in this country of perceived threats to white women being weaponized against African-Americans
01:25:36.400 and the danger that poses to black players in the league.
01:25:41.680 Players have been abused online and have reported receiving death threats.
01:25:45.300 That has to be taken more seriously.
01:25:47.200 I sincerely regret that my lack of appropriate context is overshadowing that important conversation
01:25:54.040 and the action that needs to be taken by the WNBA to address it directly for the benefit of all players.
01:26:01.100 And now USA Today has updated its original piece by her. The paragraph used to end. There should also be an expectation on Clark to recognize the wider consequences of her actions. Their big change in USA Today was to change it to there should also be an expectation on Clark to recognize the broader implications of her actions being weaponized.
01:26:23.740 So they've basically made no changes, but they've had her flog herself on X in response to the outrage because this woman's a lunatic.
01:26:32.620 She's standing by her point.
01:26:34.840 Yes, she's she also thinks it's 2020.
01:26:38.040 You know, in all crime, I think only seven percent of violent crime is interracial.
01:26:43.400 So it's not the norm.
01:26:45.100 But in interracial crimes going from battery to assault to murder, it's about six to one and even greater.
01:26:52.900 in some cases black on white than white on black so when she says you know there's this fear but
01:26:59.560 that doesn't resonate with reality for whatever reason if you are a white person and there's a
01:27:06.820 rare instance of a crime and you're a black person it's statistically proven you're much
01:27:12.380 more likely to be a white victim than a white assaulter that's just a fact so when she says
01:27:17.820 this it doesn't make sense and then people see with their own eyes what's going on in the women's
01:27:24.280 national basketball association and they can see that people are trying to not just foul her but
01:27:31.280 flagrantly try to hurt her again and again and again and then you read the commentary by left-wing
01:27:36.880 people and it turns everything around from this kind of she's kind of i understand that there was
01:27:43.720 much less, much more racism with Jackie Robinson. What made him famous was he was a minority who
01:27:51.860 got a lot of attention because of his skills and everybody, and there were people that tried to
01:27:56.420 hurt him. And the same thing is true of her. She's not just a white player. She's probably the best
01:28:02.740 player in the entire association's history or the best potential. And there's people who regret that
01:28:09.360 because she is bringing money and attention not because she's white alone and the oddball in that
01:28:16.700 league but because she's so talented and that is considered a black domain culturally and so there's
01:28:24.180 all this animosity to her that boils over in physical violence and everybody knows it and so
01:28:29.820 all these white liberal people try to contextualize it and excuse it and they don't understand that
01:28:35.560 at some point um it's going to reach a crescendo if they don't stop it somebody's going to
01:28:43.240 you know permanently injure her because that's the point and it's truly it's blaming the victim
01:28:49.720 it is it's it's and caitlin clark if anything she plays a lot of this stuff down she does
01:28:56.560 her teammates who will stand up on in defense of her and what she's saying is anytime she stands
01:29:02.920 up for herself or if she is flopping virtually everybody in the league does it and in the NBA too
01:29:09.060 they do it she's not allowed to she's not allowed because of her skin color yeah and everybody knows
01:29:15.360 that the dynamic behind it is that was a little watched league and it was broke and it was an
01:29:21.860 appendage and adjacent to the national basketball that was subsidized everybody who owned a franchise
01:29:27.560 was losing money so she came in as the best player in college basketball and was phenomenal
01:29:33.940 she happened to be white in a black dominated league and sure enough she got media attention
01:29:41.100 and she brought fans but the bottom line is she made all of this money so she enriched all of
01:29:46.400 their contracts their travel arrangements it was all in the good of the league and yet they couldn't
01:29:52.160 see that so they would rather have her out and be poor than have her in they would then to be well
01:29:58.520 off and that's what the whole that's the whole that's the whole calculus of the whole anger
01:30:03.820 everybody knows that so this stupid sports writer can't see the truth and she writes this and
01:30:09.460 the readership says what a liar we know what's going on and they're so done with that anyway
01:30:15.100 They're tired of self-performance art, white, left-wing people who are trying to get virtue signal points by adopting positions that don't jive with reality.
01:30:29.040 Just to have this self-satisfaction that I'm more virtuous than you are because I can write about Emmett Till and make some preposterous connection to show how racially advanced or liberated I am.
01:30:43.720 When most people just, you know, it's live and let live.
01:30:46.520 We don't treat anybody any different by their skin color.
01:30:49.900 We all are in the same boat together.
01:30:51.860 Let's make it incidental to who we are because it won't work.
01:30:55.100 We don't want to end up like Brazil or India or Indonesia, democracies where everybody has a cast or a skin color and they're at each other's throats.
01:31:03.880 And that's the future when you have op-ed writers like that, if they get their way, or Ryan Clark.
01:31:09.320 So I think the fact that these people are being fired or discredited is a sign that, again, just like with the mainstream media, we understand now, I think, finally, after the four, five, six years, seven years, six years after George Floyd, that if you go down, keep going down that trajectory, you're not going to have a country.
01:31:29.380 it's going to be something like a third world multiracial chauvinistic caste system democracy
01:31:35.540 and it's not it won't work and i think everybody knows it and they're sick of it
01:31:40.280 only the most politically active amongst us white or black are the ones pushing those weird
01:31:46.320 narratives and lines normal people of all races are rolling their eyes like what are you what
01:31:51.560 why are we talking why are we comparing the wmba and flopping to what happened to emmett till i
01:31:57.880 I mean, a lot of the people who were offended were black Americans who remember that story very well and don't want to see it used by some woke white middle aged woman who's trying to make herself feel better about her white skin when she goes to bed at night.
01:32:13.920 They know exactly what Nancy Armour is doing, and to bring up one of the country's darkest, most evil episodes so casually and inject it into women's basketball is disgusting and really diminishing, and I think they got a fair amount of blowback, which is why they did their lame little edit and made her tweet something quite clearly.
01:32:34.980 Nancy Armour should be fired. She should have been fired long ago for her trans mania. But this should really be the last straw. This woman shouldn't be anywhere near USA Today. The fact that they allow her to remain tells us what we need to know about them. All right, we are going to take a quick break. We're going to be right back, Victor. Don't go away. One more segment together.
01:32:54.600 When it comes to supplements, there are two things that matter.
01:32:58.280 That it works, that you can trust it.
01:33:00.900 Rather than just tell you about Relief Factor, we often bring you what their real customers
01:33:05.120 have to say about them.
01:33:06.600 One, Jim, said he ran out of Relief Factor twice and both times his aches, stiffness,
01:33:11.160 and pain came back.
01:33:12.560 Once he restarted it, he says he felt better again.
01:33:15.440 As Jim puts it, quote, you know something's working when you run out of it.
01:33:19.160 They make it easy to find out if you will be the next person telling Relief Factor about
01:33:22.860 how much it helps you tackle your daily aches and pain.

01:33:46.880 If you're heading into summer or the rest of summer
01:33:49.940 without a medical emergency kit,

01:33:55.680 have to take. Summer colds linger and can turn into sinus infections that last for weeks.

01:36:20.040 It's bold, no BS news.
01:36:22.160 Only on the Megyn Kelly channel, Sirius XM 111, and on the Sirius XM app.
01:36:31.560 Okay, so we're going to put up on the screen a few of the things that are part of your platform.
01:36:35.080 And I want to ask you, just give me sort of a true or false on these.
01:36:38.240 Abolish the Senate.
01:36:40.620 True.
01:36:41.740 Okay.
01:36:42.340 Replace the presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them.
01:36:46.640 Yep.
01:36:47.760 Abolish ICE.
01:36:50.340 Absolutely.
01:36:51.580 Abolish borders and give amnesty to anyone currently in the U.S. illegally.
01:36:56.900 As a long-term plan, yep.
01:36:58.940 Defund the Pentagon.
01:37:01.980 Absolutely.
01:37:03.140 Abolish prisons, at least in large part.
01:37:07.100 Yeah, again, as part of a long-term program, yeah.
01:37:10.080 OK, so no prisons, government or public ownership of most large corporations.
01:37:16.280 Yeah, absolutely.
01:37:18.500 Crazy. Welcome back to The MK Show. VDH is back with me. I love Shannon Bream.
01:37:22.780 That was Shannon interviewing the the head of the Democrat Socialists for America, Victor, and she's a co-chair.
01:37:31.900 And there she is, you know, laying it on the line. Her name is Megan Romer.
01:37:35.700 She was elected as one of their inaugural member elected chairs after their 2023 convention.
01:37:42.060 She calls herself a socialist with Presbyterian characteristics.
01:37:46.180 I'm not sure what that means.
01:37:49.020 Grew up very poor in a trailer park, she says, in rural upstate New York.
01:37:53.760 She said in her 30s, she followed politics through Jon Stewart's The Daily Show, explains a lot,
01:37:59.440 was once an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter, did a brief stint in community college,
01:38:04.260 And now she's running this group. And there it is, just in case people think we're all making up this crazy platform the DSA stands for. We're not. She owned it all. And yet they're winning in places like New York and possibly beyond. We'll see what happens in Michigan.
01:38:21.100 yeah i i saw the registration numbers of the it's 85 percent white and i think nate silver
01:38:29.040 pointed out 65 of them have degrees and they're so far i mean they may what they may they have
01:38:35.920 degrees but they don't earn that much that was the thing that nate silver was pointing out like
01:38:39.800 you're over educated and yet you haven't landed some big paying job so you're bitter and he came
01:38:45.040 up with that kind of damning adjective, downwardly mobile, and that's what they are. And so they go
01:38:52.140 in Denver and LA and San Francisco and Washington and New York, they rub shoulders with all these
01:38:58.160 wealthy people in law, media, medicine, especially finance, insurance, investment, and they're just
01:39:06.560 as glib, and yet they can't buy an Upper West Side apartment, or they can't buy a place in Boulder,
01:39:12.980 a victorian or something and they blame the whole system for it it's a top-down phenomenon
01:39:18.140 it's not i you know i live in one of the poorest counties in california which is one of the poorest
01:39:24.520 in the nation is the nexus between kings delari and fresno county and i can tell you i don't see
01:39:31.620 any of it here from working people and on the farm when people come on electricians plumbers
01:39:37.180 tractor drivers I talk to them every day nobody talks a social they talk about gas or they want
01:39:43.080 to get a new business or they want to get a new job or they who's paying what where but
01:39:47.760 this is a top-down phenomenon you can look at the profile of these people Mondami was very
01:39:53.160 privileged kid he grew up with this child of two professors he keeps calling Israel settler
01:39:59.060 colonialists but my gosh the Indian community in Uganda was one percent and it was put there by the
01:40:05.820 british empire and it controls 65 percent of the gdp of uganda and then he says white point he said
01:40:12.840 nicer whiter neighborhoods but actually he should say nicer indian american because they're the
01:40:18.380 richest ethnic minority in the united states by per capita income hassan piker keeps talking he
01:40:23.760 has a mouth suit on when he gave that lecture 70 million people mal killed this guy drives a porsche
01:40:30.820 She bought almost a $3 million house in West Hollywood.
01:40:34.720 His parents are immigrants.
01:40:36.080 They're very wealthy.
01:40:37.580 The same thing is true of Graham Plattner.
01:40:40.700 Ro Khanna now out here in California has become a veritable socialist.
01:40:45.000 He's talking about all these taxes.
01:40:47.780 His in-laws are worth $200 million.
01:40:50.120 His kids have a golf course in their name.
01:40:52.140 His wife drives a $200,000 Range Rover.
01:40:56.860 It's a top-down, frustrated elite, just like the French Revolution, just like the revolutions
01:41:03.600 of 1848, just like the Bolsheviks, top-down.
01:41:07.340 It doesn't mean it won't succeed, but so far, they try to create momentum that's not there
01:41:12.300 because we'll see if Tallarico and Saeed and whoever is in Maine wins, and that would
01:41:18.560 show you that they have support in mostly blue states, except for Texas.
01:41:23.840 Well, Trump is calling him Tala Freako now.
01:41:26.740 I want to show you what Tim Dillon had to say about the DSA over the weekend.
01:41:30.520 He's always worth a listen.
01:41:31.980 Sat 18 here.
01:41:33.160 1B, 1B.
01:41:34.260 And the DSA is made up of Muslims and trans people and white kids from Bushwick or whatever.
01:41:40.400 So it's an interesting alliance of people.
01:41:43.080 I don't know how it will work.
01:41:44.900 And I don't know how that all works.
01:41:48.200 But that is what's going on right now in our country.
01:41:52.200 that is where the excitement the excitement is with with with young muslim people and young
01:42:00.060 trans people and very skinny white guys from the midwest and those people are are a real insurgency
01:42:10.560 and the democratic party's old and boring and bloated and corrupt he's right about that the
01:42:19.580 And it's also, as I said, first and second generation well-off immigrants, Chevalier and Mondami.
01:42:29.740 She's a nutcase.
01:42:30.560 Yeah, they all are.
01:42:32.020 And the woman, Kiros, that came from Ethiopia, she said that reparations, they arrive in this country from these failed socials, these failed horrible places, and then they put their finger in the air and they think, wow, where is the advantages in this new U.S.?
01:42:49.560 a dei fellowships victim class media attention or being a conservative uh you know electrician
01:42:57.020 or i want to go left wing and then they start trashing this generous host that accepted them
01:43:02.600 and they start romanticizing the world that they abandoned that's a mess and yeah they want to bring
01:43:08.860 those values here yeah one i just want to make one point quickly we'll expand on it tomorrow
01:43:12.940 because we didn't really get to it but we teased you at the top of the show the dnc is in a lot of
01:43:17.300 trouble too. There's a deep dive in the New York Times about how they're in debt, real debt. They
01:43:22.000 are 2 million bucks in debt. The RNC has 128 million cash on hand. So this has a lot of
01:43:28.280 Democrats worried and frustrated. And the head of this group, Ken Martin, is the chairman of the
01:43:34.020 DNC, now coming under similar allegations to ones we saw against Troy Jackson, who's now the Democrat
01:43:41.340 nominee to rum against susan collins in maine accused in early july of throwing his phone
01:43:47.580 at the desk of a junior aid while upbraiding the person the incident resulted in a formal
01:43:53.380 complaint to the dnc's human resources department no one witnessed the encounter and there was some
01:44:00.060 dispute over how aggressively the phone was tossed but i'm guessing if you're disputing how
01:44:05.300 aggressively the phone was tossed about instead of whether it was victor it's not a it's not a
01:44:10.300 winning day for the new chairman of the dnc no he's become a face a veritable cat is her name
01:44:15.840 katie porter here in california that did the same thing no this one's close ken martin yeah it's
01:44:22.860 great to see you my friend you're looking well stay well and we hope to talk to you again very
