Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during his highly anticipated Senate testimony despite having received a presidential pardon, refusing to answer questions from Sen. Rand Paul, Sen. Josh Hawley, and others about COVID-19, NIH funding, and internal government decisions. Pags asks the question millions of Americans are asking: If Fauci can't incriminate himself, why won't he tell the truth? He reacts to calls for a contempt vote, Hawley's takedown of Fauci's newfound wealth, Bernie Moreno's fiery confrontation, and President Trump's comments about inheriting Fauci while repeatedly disagreeing with his policies. Then Sen. Ron Johnson joins the show to expose what he says really happened behind the scenes, revealing the key testimony, diary entries, safety warnings, and unanswered questions the media ignored—and explaining why the fight for accountability is far from over.   Learn more about your ad choices.
