Dr. Fauci took a break from writing diary entries about how great he is to testify on Capitol Hill yesterday, where he pled the fifth, despite receiving a blanket presidential pardon for his crimes. And now, there is, I don't want to overstate it, but there is a teensy tiny little chance that Dr. Fauci might actually spend some time in jail. Then, a socialist holds a double digit lead in the Wisconsin Democrat gubernatorial primary. The socialist mayor of New York floats cash reparations for slavery in a city filled mostly with immigrants. Some porn lady convinces the entire internet that she is a political influencer, which unfortunately says a lot more about political influencers than it does about her. And a lot more. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show, Texas Senate candidate, the Democrat nominee James Talarico says he has learned as much about his faith from Muslims as he has from Christians. Never mind that Muslims would certainly throw James Talarico off a rooftop.
It really raises even more red flags in a man who is essentially a giant walking red flag, maybe a rainbow flag too, like a red tinted rainbow flag. We'll get to Talarico in a second. First though, we got to start out with our buddy, Dr. Fauci, who is called to testify on Capitol Hill, a very, very seriously anticipated testimony in this hearing called by Rand Paul. Rand Paul has been one of the great antagonists of Dr. Fauci. So he was going to be asked about all of the contradictions between what he said during COVID, what he said under oath in some cases during COVID, and all of the private diary entries that he was writing, all of the memoranda of conversations he had with the intelligence community, also during COVID because Dr. Fauci was lying. He was saying one thing to you and one thing to his diary and to bureaucrats and to spies. So this is not just raking Fauci over the coals because he got COVID wrong. This is specifically holding him to account for the duplicitous things he said. At the very same time during COVID, he was saying one thing out of one side of his mouth, one thing out of another. We remember Dr. Fauci has actually admitted to lying. You remember early on during COVID, Dr. Fauci said there was no need for people to wear masks. At the same time, he was saying people should wear masks. Now, it actually probably didn't matter if anyone was wearing masks. So he was wrong about that. But he was wrong and also lying. He later came out and said, well, yeah, the reason I told the public not to wear masks is I wanted to save the masks for the healthcare workers.
So I lied to the public because I didn't want them to go out and buy all the masks because I wanted to save all the masks for the healthcare workers. So even though Fauci was wrong about the masks, it turns out putting a hanky over your face doesn't stop the transmission of a virus. Regardless, he was lying. He knew he was lying. It was an intentional act of deception, and that was the tip of the iceberg. So what did he say in response to these questions? Dr. Fauci pled the fifth. Here is Senator Josh Hawley having a great deal of fun with the shifty-eyed, dishonest-looking Dr. Fauci.

**Josh Hawley** (3:55)
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, nothing says honesty like taking the fifth, huh, Doc?
Let's try something. What day of the week is it today?

**Anthony Fauci** (4:09)
On the advice of Council, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

**Josh Hawley** (4:15)
What color tie are you wearing?

On the advice of Council, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

**Josh Hawley** (4:25)
What color is the carpet in front of you?

**Anthony Fauci** (4:31)
On the advice of Council, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

**Josh Hawley** (4:37)
Let's just get one thing straight. You don't have any rights under the Fifth Amendment because you've been pardoned, as you very well know, as the Supreme Court has been clear for a century and more. Brown versus Walker, 1896 When he has been pardoned, he may not stand upon his privilege.
