Keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can put you or them in danger. It means being prepared for all the situations. Even those situations where deadly force is not needed. In fact, it's a real problem. There are more of those than you think. And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs, but you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody. And I'm not in all situations, but they can go bad fast. There is a tool for this. It's the Berna Launcher.

I'm going to show you the difference between a conservative and a progressive or a socialist, because there's a really very obvious thing, and it revolves around Fauci today. Exactly what is happening with Anthony Fauci, he's testifying now. So it's going to be interesting. It's going to be fun to watch. It's going to be fun to watch, and you're going to be here for every bit of it. Okay, first, let me tell you about our sponsor here. This half hour, it is really factor when you're young. A lot of things you think will never happen when you get older. You'll never say out loud, who keeps turning the thermostat down? You'll never make that weird noise every time you stand up, and you'll definitely never find yourself the same things like, I slept wrong. You can't believe how bad I feel today. I must have slept wrong. But you know what? Getting older has a way of humbling pretty much anyone. Here's the thing, just because the aches and pains become more common as we age doesn't mean you have to simply accept them. That's why so many people have turned to Relief Factor.

Okay, so Senator Rand Paul started about half an hour ago. He said, you know, it is secrecy that destroys trust. It is arrogance that destroys trust. It is censorship that destroys trust. And it is refusal to admit error that destroys trust. The loss of trust may be your most damaging legacy. Now, he made it clear, at least to me, Jason, I'd love to hear your opinion on this.
To me, when he was talking, he made it clear, I'm not going after prosecution. We just want answers. We have to know, because history needs to know. We have to make sure that this doesn't happen again. And then we had the co-chair from the Democrats. He started speaking, and what did he say? Do we have any clips? BJ, do we have anything from him? No?
Basically, what he said was, Rand Paul is just after him, wants to put him in jail. He's been persecuting this honest man, a civil servant. Meanwhile, we've got our government under Donald Trump firing people in the NIH. You mean the people who are shredding documents? Those people that were fired? Yeah. People that were involved in some of this? Yeah, they were fired. You could see the outline of what was coming. Then Fauci, well, before I get into what Fauci is doing, I think we need a quick reminder of the Bill of Rights and the Fifth Amendment. Here's our song from Torch.
Now, in this song, you will hear that, and leave it run, BJ, you'll hear in this song that it says, it doesn't mean that you're guilty.
In this case, I think it does. It doesn't mean that you're guilty.
You have a right to protect yourself, and your silence doesn't mean you're guilt. You're emitting guilt. Listen.
So Fauci says he doesn't have to say a thing. He's pleading the fifth. So every question, even, do you have a red folder in front of you on your desk, sir? On the advice of my attorneys, I plead the fifth. Okay. So and Rand Paul said, I just like it to be read into the record that he's pleading the fifth. Let's join a little bit of this hearing because you'll hear.
