00:04:19.260He has not been honest in the last six years.
00:04:21.540But we have the evidence now that he destroyed records,
00:04:24.460that he encouraged others to destroy records.
00:04:26.580We have evidence and the opinion of many of the people who worked around with him
00:04:31.320that the research that was funded in China and Wuhan was dangerous,
00:04:35.500gain-of-function research, and that this was perhaps the worst public health decision made0.59
00:04:41.280in our lifetime, maybe in history, to fund this research in a totalitarian country,
00:04:46.660an opaque country, with a less-than-safe lab and very, very dangerous research. So this was a
00:04:53.140terrible decision. And we know it was made consciously because Fauci has told us repeatedly
00:04:58.020that he supports this research even if an accident should happen, even if a pandemic should occur.
00:05:03.920he thinks that the knowledge is worth the risk. And I think the lives of 15 million people who
00:05:09.920died approximately would counter that. Senator Paul releasing thousands of pages from Fauci's
00:05:15.740diary in the days leading up to the hearing, including pandemic-era diary entries and a
00:05:20.640separate 465-page collection released yesterday, spanning from 2001 through July 2015. The earlier
00:05:30.100entries revealing a government scientist intensely attentive to his television exposure
00:05:35.440and increasingly convinced of his own star power, years before COVID made him a household name.
00:05:42.640In a January 2013 entry, Dr. Fauci complaining after the Department of Health and Human Services
00:05:48.680rejected his proposed appearances with CNN anchors Wolf Blitzer and Soledad O'Brien.
00:05:55.120Dr. Fauci blaming complaints from the CDC, writing that the dispute had, quote,
00:05:59.380everything to do with pure jealousy that I am a rock star stealing their thunder.
00:06:04.700They're not even trying. They don't want to find it. They're jealous of me.
00:06:09.280The diary entries also giving investigators a new opportunity to compare what Dr. Fauci
00:06:13.880recorded privately with what he later told Congress and the public. Here, more from Senator
00:06:19.560Paul. We also know now that in January of 2020, at the very beginning, we know that he knew that
00:06:26.640it didn't come from the wet market. So he's argued for years, still continues to argue that
00:06:30.900the most likely place is a wet market. But in January of 2020, we know that he was admitting
00:06:36.080privately that this virus, that the early cases didn't come from the wet market and were not
00:06:42.220connected to the wet market at all. So this is really the modus operandi here is that privately
00:06:48.740he would tell the truth to others. There would be discussion of truth. And then publicly there
00:06:52.780would be lies, nothing but lies. And it was purposeful to cover up and to try to distinguish
00:06:59.860and say, oh, I had nothing to do with this. I knew nothing about it. It wasn't dangerous
00:07:04.200research. All of that was untrue. Dr. Fauci's newly released diary receiving little scrutiny
00:07:09.580from the establishment media, CNBC proving a notable exception yesterday, pressing one of
00:07:15.300Dr. Fauci's former colleagues, former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, on the entries.
00:07:20.240Does having a reputation totally in the toilet at 85 years, does that hold him to account for what he was responsible for?
00:07:30.120The Tony Fauci I saw in those emails is not the Tony Fauci I knew over the years.
00:07:34.920I mean, he was a guy who is sober, who is careful about his public appearances and his statements, was always very careful, always very thoughtful.
00:07:42.020Did you figure out the obsession with mainstream media and defending him and, you know, Jake Tapper having, you know, multiple dinners and best friends?
