Episode Description from the Publisher

Aaron McIntire breaks down Dr. Anthony Fauci's combative Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, where he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights 111 times rather than answer questions from Senator Rand Paul's panel. He plays fiery exchanges from Senators Bernie Moreno and Josh Hawley, including the moment Fauci's attorney was escorted out of the room for repeatedly disrupting proceedings. Aaron notes Rand Paul's announcement that the Senate committee will vote next week on holding Fauci in contempt of Congress, despite the preemptive pardon he received from former President Biden. He also shares this week's poll results, where a majority of listeners say the hearing hasn't changed their expectations that Fauci will ultimately face no real consequences.
