00:01:25.080We now have national writing score or math scores that our kids' scores have plummeted because
00:01:32.500Democrats shut down schools, because the teachers union and Randy Weingarten in particular pushed
00:01:39.660it, we also know that the racial gap, the gap on test scores between black kids and white kids, grew by the largest amount in the last year of any time in history.
00:02:22.280Just a couple of months ago, I forced a vote on the Senate floor to stop the District of Columbia schools from enforcing a COVID vaccine mandate,
00:02:33.360which would result in throwing out of school 20 percent of the kids and 40 percent of the African-American kids.
00:02:43.940After two years of unbelievably abusive policies and abusive policies running the gamut from shutdowns that destroyed stores and small businesses and jobs to people being fired for making their own choices about whether or not to take the COVID vaccine to shutting down schools and damaging kids in all likelihood for the rest
00:03:10.260of their lives with the educational loss that was inflicted, these Democrats now want everyone just forgive and forget, never mind, they ignored welfare.
00:03:19.740I don't think anyone's willing to do so.
00:03:21.740And we've talked about why this election is going to be such a big red wave.
00:03:47.020I want everyone who hurt people and did so because of politics.
00:03:51.520I want them to be held accountable for those decisions.
00:03:54.660You know, there's some decisions, Senator, that obviously we should learn from right mistakes that were that were genuine mistakes early on in the pandemic that we would learn from.
00:04:03.260But as you mentioned, many of the mistakes that were made were 100 percent a political decision where people got drunk on power.
00:04:12.780People decided that their lives and their livelihoods, they should get paid from working from home.
00:04:20.400They didn't look at the harm they were doing to children.
00:04:22.700And that's the part we should never say, you know, let's just hit pause and move on from.
00:04:28.680We need to make sure that there's accountability so that never happens again, because even right now we have seen Democratic candidates running in different parts of the country over the last week who have said they would even remask children.
00:04:41.140This happened in Florida recently where one of the Democrats said, hey, I will listen to the scientists.
00:04:46.800They tell me to remask the kids in the schools.
00:05:09.440When people are criticizing me, they are criticizing science.
00:05:14.000That, number one, delusional grandeur is really bizarre.
00:05:20.960But number two, I don't know of an individual in modern times who has done more to lessen the credibility of scientists and doctors and the medical institutions than Anthony Fauci, because he deliberately said things he knew were lies.
00:05:39.260And he's admitted he knew they were lies.
00:05:58.180No, the U.S. government did not fund gain-of-function research that may well have created the COVID virus in that Chinese lab.
00:06:07.680Then the NIH puts out, well, yes, we actually did fund that research.
00:06:12.460The repeated lies and also the correspondence that has come out between the Biden administration and the teachers' unions, where the teachers' unions were the ones who drove the school shutdown.
00:06:24.220It wasn't based on studies about infection in kids.
00:06:29.560It wasn't based on fatality rates, which we know that the COVID virus was much, much, much less serious among kids than it was with the very elderly or people with severe additional health issues.
00:06:49.740And I got to say, going forward, we're going to need to talk about, you know, we will have some other health crisis at some point in our lifetimes.
00:06:58.500And it could be, you know, last time it was COVID.
00:07:01.720Maybe next time it's, you know, God forbid, something like Ebola or something, something that, you know, is really horrific.
00:07:06.780Our institutions now, I don't know what the answer is, how you actually get an institution to focus on science once it's been politicized.
00:07:21.420And I think the damage that was done, it may be permanent.
00:07:24.600I worry that it's permanent, Senator, because there's so many people now that if there is something that happens in the future that maybe is less complicated, maybe much more straightforward, are just not going to trust the health officials, the United States government.
00:07:39.280And the reason why is because the way that they tried to divide this nation to two groups of people.
00:07:44.920And I want to play a clip of Fauci for you in a moment.
00:07:48.120Before I do that, I want to remind you about our good friends over at Patriot Mobile.

00:09:22.460I mean, I think we're dealing with a serious enough situation right now that if there's an unvaccinated person, I would say I'm very sorry, but not this time.
00:09:31.780Maybe another time when this is all over.
00:09:33.900Senator, that wasn't based in science.
00:09:35.560That was based in dividing this country into two groups of people.
00:09:38.380You're either with us in a vaccinated individual that is indoctrinated by the government or you're an outcast and an outlier in society where you're not welcome.
00:09:46.120Yeah, look, these people got drunk on power, and Fauci was the drunkest of all, and it was whatever he decreed.
00:09:56.260Now, mind you, we also saw the videos of him going to the Nationals game and happily taking his mask off right when he was ordering everyone else.
00:10:03.340You must wear your mask at all times, listen, the hypocrisy.
00:10:08.720Senate Democrats routinely behind closed doors when they were insisting everyone must be masked to show their virtue would take their masks off and they would yuck it up.
00:11:12.800Every Democrat, every Republican, nobody, not a person had their mask on in the bus.
00:11:19.240When the bus arrives and their TV cameras, suddenly the senators all dutifully put on their mask.
00:11:25.500And I'm like, I'm sorry, there is no science that justifies that it is more dangerous in a cathedral where the roof is 70 feet high than it is in a closed in bus where I'm sitting next to senators, Democrats with no mask.
00:11:40.080But once a TV camera is there, then the virtue is strong.
00:11:47.360There's a question that I get asked a lot on the road, and I'm sure you've gotten asked this question a lot.
00:11:53.480How is it that Dr. Fauci, and I believe, based in facts, that he has clearly lied under oath before Congress on going to function research, on Wuhan lab, on different issues like you just mentioned with masking?
00:12:07.140Some of your colleagues have gone after him, Senator Paul, really hard and believe that he flat out lied to them.
00:12:15.740Number one, do you believe that he lied?
00:12:17.660And number two, why is it if he did lie, there's no accountability for lying, especially when you're highest paid member of the United States government?
00:12:25.840He makes more than the president of the United States of America does.
00:12:28.160There is no accountability because this Biden administration is fundamentally corrupt and partisan and political.
00:12:36.900I have repeatedly called on the Department of Justice to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Anthony Fauci for lying under oath to Congress.
00:12:46.100He came in and he testified flat out that the federal government did not fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute for Virology.
00:12:53.300And subsequently, the NIH admitted in writing, yes, it did fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:13:01.780The two statements are 180 degrees contradictory, and it is a felony, a federal offense to lie under oath.
00:13:11.820I will say, much to my great frustration, I've never had the opportunity to question Dr. Fauci because none of the committees I sit on, chaired by Democrats, have ever called him in.
00:13:20.980They don't want him in. So you're right, Rand has had some great back and forth because he's on the health committee, and that's the only committee he testifies before.
00:13:28.820I very much hope when we have majorities, I hope that he comes before the Judiciary Committee, I hope he comes before the Commerce Committee, and he needs to testify under oath, and I believe he should be investigated.
00:13:39.960And unless there is an explanation that is not evident on the face of the words, he should be prosecuted for lying under oath to Congress and to the American people vicariously.
00:13:52.720And I want to be clear, this is one of the things that I think we need to be very, very clear about.
00:13:58.660We're not asking for political revenge. We're asking for accountability for actually breaking the law.
00:14:04.920And that's the difference between Republicans and Democrats, especially when they're in power, is Democrats abuse their power and want to lock up anybody that was connected to Donald Trump on lies of Russian collusion.
00:14:14.780All we're saying is, there are laws, when you raise your right hand, you know that you're under oath, you say you're going to tell the truth, and when you deliberately lie to the United States government and to Congress, there should be accountability for that.
00:14:29.040Well, and there's a reason that it is a felony, a federal criminal offense, to lie under oath to Congress, because when Congress is having a hearing, it's not just senators asking questions because we're kind of curious about some stuff.
00:14:42.020We are doing so in our constitutional capacity of representing our constituents and asking on behalf of our constituents.
00:14:50.840And particularly, look, it's one thing if someone says something by mistake.
00:14:56.740If you say something by mistake, that's not a crime. Making an error is not a felony.
00:15:02.460And it's even another thing if someone says something that is wrong, but it's a matter that is not of terribly high consequence.
00:15:12.020In this instance, the matter on which it appears that Fauci lied is incredibly consequential.
00:15:20.900I hope and believe when we have Republican majorities, I want multiple hearings on the origins of the COVID virus, where this came from, what the culpability of the Chinese communist government was.
00:15:31.780Because I'll tell you, this podcast, the verdict podcast, early on, right at the beginning of this pandemic, back in like March and April, when things got started, we did multiple podcasts laying out the evidence that this had escaped, this virus had escaped from the COVID Institute of Virology.
00:15:50.460It was at a time when social media was banning anyone who dared say such a thing.
00:15:57.680I don't know how this podcast ended up escaping that censorship, but this was one of the very few places where you could get that information.
00:16:05.720Now, subsequently, we learned that not only was that research going on, but that the U.S. government was actively funding it and gain-of-function research where you take a dangerous virus and you go in and you genetically manipulate it to make it more infectious, to make it more deadly, to alter it, to make it a hell of a lot more dangerous.
00:16:29.640Well, that research is, by its nature, and if Fauci chose to deliberately lie, he was concealing it from the American people, the culpability that he personally might have had in the creation of COVID-19.
00:16:50.980Now, in discussing this, I've several times said potentially and maybe because for it to be a criminal offense, he has a chance to explain himself.
00:17:01.480I'm not a scientist, so maybe there is some explanation he can marshal, but on the face of it, the statements are blatantly contradictory, and the ridiculous thing is Merrick Garland and this Department of Justice simply won't enforce the law.
00:17:17.380They don't care at all. And by the way, I will say, Fauci did enormous damage under Biden, but let's be clear, Fauci should have been fired in the Trump administration, and it was a mistake of the Trump administration not to fire Fauci early on because he very quickly began abusing his power and the media elevated him.
00:17:39.460I understand why they didn't, because the pandemic was crucified him, right?
00:17:45.360I mean, the real reason why Trump didn't fire him is because his advisors saw that the media would absolutely destroy Donald Trump, and it would ruin his chances of a reelect, to be honest, because they would say, this is how psycho he is.
00:17:59.540He fires the guy that's been there for as long, you know, as long as anybody's been in Washington, and he's so trusted by the world.
00:18:06.400How on earth could you possibly get rid of him?
00:18:09.300Well, and I'm sure that was the reasoning, and there's some force to that.
00:18:14.480Now, I would say they're doing that anyway, and removing him from having the power to inflict harm on millions of Americans would have been the right thing to do.
00:18:23.880But I think there needs to be accountability, whether accountability for Fauci, whether accountability for the teachers unions, whether accountability for the military that fired soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines who declined to get the COVID vaccine, accountability for the Biden administration.
00:18:44.660These Democrats want to escape accountability for the decisions they made that were knowingly inflicting harm and that they did so for purely political and partisan reasons.
00:18:59.240Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:19:05.440And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk Podcast.
00:19:11.780And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.
00:19:21.260So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:19:24.500Listen to the Honest Talk Podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:19:28.560You mentioned a moment ago about you talking about the Wuhan lab and how did it not get silenced or censored by big tech.
00:19:36.260There's been a bombshell story, and I want everybody that's listening right now to verdict.

00:19:50.980This bombshell report that came out, Senator, is showing that Twitter and Facebook, not only did they have regular meetings with the Department of Homeland Security to discuss censorship,
00:20:02.760but The Intercept is now reporting that according to a draft copy of the Department of Homeland Security's review,
00:20:10.960the DHS's capstone report outlining the department's strategy and priorities in the coming years had this listed.
00:20:20.660The department plans to target, quote, inaccurate information on a wide range of topics,
00:20:28.500including the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficiency of the COVID-19 vaccines.
00:20:37.940Also racial justice, the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the nature of the U.S. support to Ukraine.
00:20:48.080Translation, the Department of Homeland Security basically said,
00:20:53.000what are the biggest weaknesses of the Democratic Party going into the midterm elections or in the next presidential election?
00:20:59.300We will go out there to Facebook and to any other big tech company and we'll tell them to silence these stories that make the Democrats look bad.
00:21:09.460And our tax dollars apparently have been used to do this now for years, dating all the way back to 2016.
00:21:21.120The people in charge of it need to be fired.
00:21:24.800The Department of Homeland Security is badly, badly off the rails if they believe their job is censoring Americans to prevent them from criticizing the government.
00:21:36.220The last I checked, we haven't stepped into George Orwell's 1984 yet, but if these guys have any say in it, that's where they want us to go.
00:21:45.280It is not a thought crime to disagree with the Biden White House.
00:21:51.100You know, Biden was going to nominate this loony woman.
00:21:57.060The one who was like sang all the time and was this hardcore partisan was going to be in charge of this office of disinformation and empowered to silence you and me and anyone else that she disagreed with.
00:22:08.240She was such a loon that they actually backed off and decided not to appoint her.
00:22:13.980But the fact that this was institutionalized, that this was set up as a regular portal for government officials to go to big tech and say, silence this, silence this, silence this, silence this, is incredibly dangerous.
00:22:30.680This is nowhere in DHS's actual job function of protecting our safety and security from terror attacks.
00:22:39.460And interestingly enough, Ben, this also intersects with a topic we discussed over a year ago on this podcast as well, which is, as you know, Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against big tech, alleging that its censorship violates the First Amendment.
00:23:02.240Now, the challenge with that lawsuit is the First Amendment does not apply to non-governmental entity.
00:23:10.080So the First Amendment begins with Congress shall make no law and the First Amendment applies to censorship by the federal government or through a doctrine called incorporation by the state or local government.
00:23:22.920But a private company is not the government.
00:23:25.520There is, however, a Supreme Court doctrine that has extended that, that says a private entity can be liable for a violation of the First Amendment if it is acting as an instrumentality of the government.
00:23:38.900In other words, if it is acting at the behest of the government, if it is acting, if it is the means by which the government is exercising its censorship powers.
00:23:48.680And what we talked about in the podcast well over a year ago was the email exchanges that came out between Dr. Fauci and Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and owner of Facebook at the time, where Fauci was asking Zuckerberg to take things down from Facebook and to block them.
00:24:08.940And it actually, it's the same topics we're talking about.
00:24:11.540One of the things that he was asking Facebook to take down was discussions about the origins of COVID-19.
00:24:17.220So not only was he not furthering the interest of science of knowing where, in fact, this disease came from, he was actively stifling science, fighting science, saying, no, we don't want any discussions of that.
00:24:31.300And Zuckerberg saluted and said, sir, yes, sir, happy to help.
00:24:35.220And I noted on this podcast over a year ago that that email exchange made Trump's lawsuit much, much stronger and would feed centrally into the argument that Facebook was acting as an instrumentality of the government.
00:24:52.840We subsequently learned that the FBI requested of Facebook and Twitter that they block stories about Hunter Biden's laptop right before the election, again, that that was done at the behest of the government, government censorship.
00:25:10.380So you literally had big tech censoring and silencing true stories that were politically harmful and inconvenient to the Democrats at the behest of the deep state.
00:25:21.260And now this latest piece, Ben, that you just referred to, which is this process was institutionalized with a formal portal and a much broader ambit where where some of the stuff like now, you know, disagreeing with Joe Biden and the Democrats on Ukraine.
00:25:38.680Now, that is subject to censorship at the request of the government disagreeing with the catastrophe of Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan and surrender to the Taliban.
00:25:49.680Now, apparently that is subject to censorship.
00:26:44.760But behind the scenes, this is clearly still going on.
00:26:48.000And from this new report, it says, quote, there is a formalized process now.
00:26:52.260And it's been there apparently for years for government officials to directly flag content on Facebook or Instagram and request that it be throttled or suppressed through a special Facebook portal portal that requires a government or law enforcement email to use.
00:27:10.480At the time of writing, the content request system at Facebook was still live.
00:27:14.820DHS and Meta, the new name of Facebook, did not respond to requests for comment.
00:27:21.900And the FBI has also declined to comment on this because they're the ones that basically asked to be setting it up.
00:27:27.600But what we do know is in a March meeting, an FBI official warned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S. government.
00:27:38.060Therefore, they need to have this there.
00:27:39.840Something else that's very weird, and I want to get your take on this, is at this meeting that happened in March with this FBI officials warning of this threat of this information, right?
00:27:49.780This submersive information that could, quote, undermine support for the U.S. government in attendance were Senior Executives Center from not only Twitter, but also JPMorgan Chase.
00:28:02.340Why would a financial institution like JPMorgan Chase be in on this type of meeting?
00:28:08.780That scares the hell out of, I think, a lot of people that have bank accounts with JPMorgan Chase or financial accounts with them.
00:28:16.120Well, we are unfortunately seeing corporate America more and more becoming the enforcers for the woke left.
00:28:22.360And we're seeing that with the Fortune 100.
00:28:24.960We're seeing that with big banks where they're trying to cut off customers that they disagree with their politics, whether they happen to be a gun store and supporting our Second Amendment rights or whether they happen to have political views that are out of favor with the current White House.
00:28:43.800And I think the left is all about power and using power to extort, to force you to comply.
00:28:52.980And I will say it is deeply concerning.
00:28:57.320Look, when we talk about energy, Wall Street plays a big part in cutting off the cash for U.S. energy production.
00:29:06.460And they do so at the active urging and at the behest of the Biden administration, whether it's the banking regulators or the SEC.
00:29:14.980We're seeing these Green New Deal radicals trying to cut off all the debt they can and all the equity they can for new oil and gas production.
00:29:24.620They're doing this on multiple fronts because if they can't get it through legislation, they're willing to use power and power over your livelihood, power over your ability to earn revenue.
00:29:37.540If it's demonetizing a tech platform or power over your ability to to to to have banking services.
00:29:47.840And all of that, I think, is a complete abuse of power is ever since you went on The View.
00:29:53.740They seem to have really been unhinged by your appearance, Senator.
00:29:57.080And now Sonny Hostin on The View has said something today that I think is racist.
00:30:45.600Because just saying that it's insulting to the voter.
00:30:48.460People make up decisions on what's right for their family and the idea that you should have a safe...
00:30:53.300I mean, Senator, when you equate white Republican suburban women voters as roaches voting for raid, not only, I think, is that a bigot and racist statement, but the fact that it's still not been condemned by anybody on ABC or The View, this is even a new low for them.
00:31:12.440Well, I guess it's the new war on women.
00:31:21.180They are all hard leftists, and they are utterly out of touch with people in this country.
00:31:30.140Sonny, unfortunately, says nasty, offensive, insulting things on a daily basis.
00:31:35.840But if you look at this comment, so she's saying, all right, if you're a woman, you're not allowed to be concerned about inflation, that you can't afford to put food on the table anymore, you can't afford to fill your car or your truck or your minivan, you can't afford to pay your bills, you're not allowed to be concerned about crime, even though you and your family are at greater risk and you're seeing outside your door, perhaps, crime rates going up and up and up.
00:32:03.420You're not allowed to be worried about that.
00:32:04.720You're not allowed to be worried about nearly 5 million illegal immigrants under Joe Biden coming in and over 100,000 fentanyl overdoses.
00:32:14.360No, no, you're not a woman if you're worried about the people, your kids dying of a drug overdose.
00:32:19.580Your woman card is revoked, according to Sonny and the elite leftists.
00:32:24.900The only thing you are allowed to care about, if you're a woman, according to The View, is you must be an abortion maximalist.
00:32:32.840You must believe that abortion should be legal in every instance, no matter what, up until the ninth month of pregnancy, anything else be damned.
00:32:42.980And that has to be the only thing you care about.
00:32:45.360Look, there's a reason why, across the country, we talked about on the last podcast, that suburban women have moved 26 points away from Democrats and towards Republicans,
00:33:01.820because the policies coming from Democrats are hurting suburban women, they're hurting suburban men, they're hurting just about everybody.
00:33:10.660And the approach of the Democrats is not, oh, yeah, I can see how not being able to pay your bills and provide for your family and keep your kids safe would be a problem.
00:33:22.640Maybe we should do something about it.
00:33:28.740You're a cockroach unless you obey us.
00:33:32.260Now, look, personally, I think the Democratic National Committee ought to take Sonny's comments and pay to run them on every TV station in America,
00:33:42.060because I think that's really a great political strategy.
00:33:45.200Just call the voters you want to get, call them all cockroaches, and that they'll clearly understand that you have their best interest in mind and vote to keep you in power for that.
00:33:55.560You know, it's amazing, I think, how bad the closing argument has been for Democrats.
00:34:00.600Democrats, you saw the president give his speech in prime time.
00:34:05.460This was something that obviously was very important to the president.
00:34:09.480They said to come out and kind of give this closing argument.
00:34:13.600There were a lot of lies in that closing argument.
00:34:35.300The president decided a few days ago that it was important to issue one final warning on this issue to make very clear, to leave no doubt,
00:34:43.740that we have people out there still peddling the big lie.
00:34:46.800People now raising the issue of election denial in this election.
00:34:51.280I mean, he's still going back to January 6th, obviously, still going back to election denial and trying to make the entire election about something from several years ago.
00:35:03.680This was a terrible closing argument for him, which is the reason why I think a massive red wave is coming.
00:35:09.860New Herschel Walker numbers have just come out.
00:35:12.660Walker is leading the Democrat Raphael Warnock now over the 50 percent threshold, which is needed.
00:35:17.660You and I talked about not wanting to have a runoff there, which is very important.
00:35:24.420Well, listen, I will say in defense of the Biden White House, they demonstrated that they are capable of learning,
00:35:30.520that they did one thing right, which is from their previous speech.
00:35:35.160This time they didn't bathe Biden in red light and have him do his impression of the Emperor Palpatine from from Star Wars.
00:35:42.740So I guess that's an improvement that they, you know, avoided, you know, actually, the Palpatine lighting would have been better if they had Kamala Harris just laughing in the background.
00:35:54.060I mean, her cackle would have made it really frightening.
00:35:57.200But look, for a closing argument, nationally, if you look at the polling, the number one issue in the country is inflation.
00:36:10.040What did Biden say about inflation? Not a damn word.
00:36:14.080The number two issue in the country is crime.
00:36:16.600What did Biden say about crime? Not a damn word.
00:36:19.240The number three issue in the country is illegal immigration.
00:36:21.740What did Biden say about illegal immigration? Not a damn word.
00:36:49.340We shouldn't be surprised that Biden calls Trump an SOB and that Trump calls Biden an SOB.
00:36:55.780That, as long as we've had elections, one candidate has said nasty things about the other candidate.
00:37:01.620That that's to be expected. What is new is demonizing the voters.
00:37:08.880You know, the Palpatine speech where Biden stood up and said half of America, anyone who voted for Donald Trump, anyone who voted Republican is a semi-fascist.
00:37:20.040Normally, you don't go after the voters, you don't attack the voters, you may attack your opponent.
00:37:41.340You know, Kathy Hockel, the the Democrat governor of New York, her comment a couple of months ago where she said, if you vote Republican, if you vote for Trump, get out of the state.
00:38:46.940I lay out what I believe, and the voters can decide if they want a representative that follows through on those beliefs.
00:38:53.640But it is my job every day, Ben, to fight for the rights of the Democrats in Texas, fight for their liberties, fight for their free speech, fight for their religious liberty, fight for their safety, fight for their security, fight for their ability to educate their kids, fight for their ability to be able to get a good job.
