**Deven** (0:08)
Welcome to The TMZ Podcast, Deven here with Tony.

**Tony** (0:11)
What's up, Deven?

**Deven** (0:12)
What's going on?

**Tony** (0:12)
How are you doing?

**Deven** (0:13)
We got a little bit of a skeleton crew here today.

**Tony** (0:15)
Yes, we're making it work, though, as we always do.

**Deven** (0:18)
Always do, because we have to do it for you guys to get everyone the stories.

**Tony** (0:22)
Yes, we got some interesting ones today. I mean, we always do, but this one, I mean, Nicki, man.

**Deven** (0:29)
Yeah.

**Tony** (0:30)
What was there to say?

**Deven** (0:31)
So, Nicki, we'll cover today, Nicki Minaj attacking Dr. Fauci, which is kind of to be expected. I think what she said was kind of wild.

**Tony** (0:43)
Very much indeed.

**Deven** (0:44)
So, she went in on Fauci, so we will get into everything there. We have another update as of this morning that we just confirmed in the Nolan Wells, as far as the autopsy.
So, we will get into that. And lastly, another update, actually, in another story that we've been covering for quite some time, the Nancy Guthrie situation. It's unfortunately not finding Nancy, but involving the detainment of someone early, a couple of months ago, or whenever that was.

**Tony** (1:15)
I remember when that came out and it was crazy because everybody thought, oh, this must be the guy.

**Deven** (1:19)
Oh, for sure. Because people were so desperate for her. I did too. I thought the force they used and I thought they had zeroed in on whoever kidnapped her. But it turned out not and the guy is not happy. Him and his family. Okay.
So, Nicki Minaj. Nicki.

**Tony** (1:35)
She has had quite the arc this past year, I would say.

**Deven** (1:39)
She went full MAGA, which is fine. Everyone has their right to do whatever if she believes this or if she's doing it for cloud or whatever reason she's doing it.
She posted a lengthy message on Twitter. So obviously a lot of people were upset the other day. I mean, I guess on both sides of the aisle, some people are upset that they want Dr. Fauci put in prison and think that that's insane. There's other people on the other side that are very upset that feel like he wasn't truthful and didn't release all the information in during COVID and the fact that he went into the Senate hearing and has just pled the fifth. A lot of people looked at that as like, A, sketchy, B, like, why are you, if you don't have anything to hide, why are you pleading the fifth?

**Tony** (2:23)
I remember I seen this one senator, I think his name is Josh Hawley, I think. This tweet I seen went viral because he was asking, hey, Anthony Fauci, what color is your tie? I plead the fifth.

**Deven** (2:33)
And he kept asking like basic questions. No, totally. I mean, he was obviously instructed by his attorney to do that because he didn't want to incriminate himself. But I guess the argument could be that if- What do you hide? Yeah, so if you have something to incriminate yourself, that makes you seem like you did something wrong.
That's here nor there because everyone has their opinions. And Nicki has her opinion on Dr. Fauci, where she essentially said that he will eventually require feeding tubes and lose his ability to speak.

**Tony** (3:02)
That's- It's just an insane thing to say.

**Deven** (3:05)
So I'll read some. I mean, first of all, if you haven't seen the photo, the AI photo is wild. It's him on a bed-

**Tony** (3:11)
I'm not gonna lie, I chuckled at this.

**Deven** (3:12)
Yeah, like writing in his diary because the whole crux of the Senate investigation had to do with diary entries. He found that he possibly knew some things that were not disclosed at the time.
But she goes, he will lose the ability to speak, and then and only then will he feel the collective pain and long-term ramifications he caused to newborns, young children who are still trying to become acclimated into society in schools, traumatized pregnant women who couldn't even have family in the delivery rooms and visits, the elderly who died alone and afraid. Young people will struggle with mental health suicide, people turned away from hospitals at the most vulnerable moments, on and on and on. Basically, the sentiments that a lot of people do have of people that had major, you know, those were all major issues during COVID.

**Tony** (3:56)
Yeah.

**Deven** (3:56)
And a lot of people blame Dr. Fauci and how he handled it, and think that, you know, he didn't handle it correctly, and that a lot of people were negatively affected.
