service taking. i'm driving home. >> he says he's driving home. >> yeah. given what he's done to the country, i think everyone can agree, even mrs. biden, not a good idea for him to drive a motor vehicle. that's it for us tonight. we'll be back tomorrow night 8:00 p.m. have the best night. here's sean hannity. >> sean: that is the corvette go6 that there's a waiting list a mile long. and i'm like at the bottom. that is a great car. and no ecuad-- he should not be driving that car. >> thank you, sean. >> sean: welcome to hannity. tonight dr. fauci confronted tonight. >> also, tonight wisconsin candidate mandela barnes was caught on camera trashing capitalism. this, after he called for violently criminals to be

released from prison. we're going to play that tape and vet him tonight. >> first, the countdown continues. we are only 55 short days away from these pivotal midterm elections and democrats have lost all touch with reality. now, yesterday we showed you the new devastating economic numbers, inflation went up, food, rent, energy, all the way pick up. the stock market plummeted. it dropped significantly. the biggest drop since the height of the pandemic. this but one month after the democrats passed their so-called inflation redux act or as i -- reduction act. it doesn't actually do anything to reduce inflation. it will increase inflation. it is just a massive green new deal spending bill that, as predicted, is making inflation far worse, making everything more expensive than ever. and now, by the way, to add insult to injury r biden's

competent transportation secretary has been unable to hammer out a deal with america's railroad unions. so now in the wake of a looming strike, many train lines are getting shut down and our supply chain problems are about to get that much worse. even certain amtrak routes have already been put on pause indefinitely. amtrak joe, do you care to comment? so naturally, none of this stopped the white house from flowing a massive celebration complete with a smiling and the fist bumps and the patting on the back with nancy pelosi. even had a live performance from james taylor. he ser nated the crowd with fire and rain. it's as great song. song about drug addiction and suicide. it may be perhaps appropriate in this sense because of the drugs. now, a celebration, pathing themselves on the back on the

day that inflation numbers rose yet again from the previous month. can you really be that oblivious and that out of touch with the american people? because americans are suffering. now, the president even treated his guests to a rage-filled celebrity speech complete with weird, anger yelling about how joe biden himself rescued america's economy and fixed inflation. >> i don't want to be a party casher -- >> all the news network featured live side by side footage. look at that, they were showing the stock market crashing. even fake news cnn, msnbc, they seem absolutely shock that joe biden was spiking a football at the moment americans' retirement funds were being wiped out in real-time. his celebrate rigs didn't stop there. today he visited the detroit auto show. that's a gate looking corvette. just three weeks after ford announced they were laying off 3,000 employees to cut costs and

pay for the biden administration's electric vehicle transition. of course that didn't stop joe biden from having a little fun, as he got behind a wheel of car after car after car and then held hands with the michigan governor. but later, after a brief set of remarks, joe failed a serious challenge. he couldn't seem to remember how to get down to the podium. pretty common problem for joe. take a look. >> thank you. ♪. >> sean: sorry. it appears joe biden has some serious issues with short-term memory. his vice president, meanwhile, just simple trouble with something called the truth. you decide.

>> every year gas-powered cars and trucks and buses contribute millions of tons of carbon dioxide and pollution. but there is a solution to this problem. electric vehicles. electric cars. s and trucks and buses which produce no emissions. and they are cheaper to own. . >> sean: they are not cheaper to own. that will be called where i grew up a flat out lie. the average cost of an electric vehicle is $22,000 more than a gas-powered car. not to mention, the additional energy cost to charge the vehicle. and of course, you have to pillage mother earth with big heavy equipment that's run on diesel fuel mining for these rare minerals and pillaging them out of the earth. never mind the fossil fuels that you'll actually need to plug in the car because that represents 90% of our car electric grid. even with the high price of gas,

it would take at least a decade plus to maybe even break even. so kamala is just lying or just hasn't border to do simple math. so for the two-thirds of americans, those of you out there that are suffering living paycheck to paycheck, i been there, it sucks. it's not fun. electric vehicles are not a solution to any of your problems. fear not, the bismaden administration, they have new solution. if you are one of the many u.s. soldiers, in other words be the real heroes in this country and you're struggling to put food on the table and make end's meet, the administration is now publicly encouraging and advising our brave military, the people that preserve our freedoms, to apply for food stamps. what a repulsive national embarrassment. think about this. we're now -- sending $50 billion to ukraine but our soldiers aren't making enough here at home to buy food to feed are there family?

this is beyond a paul. biden just spend trillions on efficient turbines. we're decades away from this alternative energy or renewable energy as pete buttigieg wants and jennifer gramholm wants. they want to spend more to bail out social justice majors in colleges who took out massive student loans? they did it willingly. and meanwhile, american armed servicemen and women left to the hang out to dry? go get food stamps? how about you take the student loan forgiveness money, make the people who borrowed to pay it back and make sure the soldiers can put food on their table. of course the department of defense did find room in their budget to hire a cheap diversity equity and inclusion officer, or she refers to herself a woke

administrator. the dod's woke administrator openly disparaged white people online because of their race. since the report, much of her social media has been deleted. and fox news digital did not immediately hear a response of the department of defense. they are waiting brettl breathlessly. here is louisiana senator john kennedy. he's up for re-election. we're enthusiastically supporting that re-election. i think the good people of louisiana know that he's done a good job for them. senator, welcome back. great to have you. >> thank you, sean. you -- first, you mentioned electric vehicles. if electric vehicles are so swell, why does the government have to pay people to drive them? food for thought. number two --. >> sean: you know what. >> i? i wish i thought of that. >> it's true when you think about it. number two, you mention

inflation. conf inflation made in washington since president biden was inaugurated 540 days ago. prices are up 13.2%. here's another way of looking at that. $1 is now worth in purchasing power about 88cents. so what is president biden doing about it? you might be thinking, you know, people make mistakes. what's he going to do about it? well, the president has decided to drink himself sober. first, he passed a $750 billion so-called inflation reduction act, which takes $300 billion in our taxes out of the pockets of the american people when the economy is slowing, prices are rising r and 401(k)ss are crashing. and he gives that $300 billion

of taxpayer money to the green new deal, industrial complex which will probably spend it in a way that causes energy prices to go up without reducing world terminates a sin-- scintilla of degree because c. and then for his second trick, the president decided to spend $1 trillion to forgive student debt. now, we already have a plan to repay student debt. it's called a job. and it was working just fine. . >> sean: you're on your a game. you are on your a game. i'm not interrupting. >> if you look at this from 35,000 feet, i think this is obvious. and that's why i say that president biden is inflation's best friend.

manipulation loves . -- i don't see where they've done anything whatsoever except saying folk song -- singing folk songs to stop it ravaging the american people. >> sean: you know, why a celebration on a day when inflation went yet up again, senator? and if we use the same methodology that they used in the 1980s to calculate inflation numbers, we would be at 16%. that's how bad it really is. they just have twice now adjusted the methodology of how they calculate that. so it's that bad. and then we've got this other little problem. we're going to pay off student debt that people willingly took on and we're going to advise our brave men and women in the military how to best get on food stamps. maybe the alternative would be to take the trillionan dollars in student debt forgiveness and give it to the military so that

they can afford to pay for the food themselves. what do you think? >> well, of course, i think you're right, sean. not to put too fine a point on it. but the president, he's not really forgiving student debt. somebody's got to pay for it. he's just transferring it from the people to owe it to the people who don't owe it, working which has americans. but the way the president handled -- has handled the economy, his social and economic policies -- how can i put this? your aunt's facebook page has more credibility with the american people than president biden does when it comes to the economy. and i think voters are going to go medieval on him. i mean, i'm up for re-election. if you want to learn more about me go to johnkennedy.com. i'm not going to minutes mince

any words. this inflation was made in washington in large part by president biden socioeconomic economy. i mean, he -- his policies caused this. >> sean: i think this is probably your best appearance, senator kennedy. i support your re-election. we're always glad to have you on the program. thank you for being with us. >> now we get to some breaking news from martha's vineyard. this is amazing. this check mate where two planes full of illegal immigrants landed, compliments of florida governor ron desantis and he now joins the governors of texas and arizona in relocating illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities and states. by the way, a genius idea. the best political move i've ever seen in my life. here with reaction, joe ye jones and former trump white house chief of staff mark meadows. once governor abbot started

sending them to d.c. and then new york and ron desantis jumped in and he is sending them -- now to martha's vineyard. the best political move i've ever seen, mark, and i've been doing this a long time. >> well, it's not only a good political move, it's actually making those democrat governors and mayors actually start to be border states and cities. you know, you mention d.c. when buses started to arrive in washington, d.c., all of a sudden the mayor of d.c. is declaring an emergency because she hasn't had to deal with it in arizona and texas. now sheers dealing it here. >> sean: she's calling up thing national guard and demanding $50 million. >> without a doubt. but with governor desantis actually delivering them to martha's vineyard, we're going to see a whole new awareness on

a sanctuary state where all of a sudden this open border kind of mentality that is not serving our country well is coming home to martha's vineyard we're you're going to see a whole lot of people starting to say, wait, governor, you're not doing the right thing. well, he's doing precisely the right thing and showing the hypocrisy of it all. . >> sean: mark, let me do a follow up with you. how long will it be before these governors, mayors, et cetera, become racist and not want to have these illegal immigrants in their towns, cities or whatever? >> well, here's the thing, is as soon as the money doesn't arrive, whether it's emergency relief or anything else, they -- all of a sudden they're going to be more conservative than some of my conservative former colleagues. and so they're going to plead for money first, plead for relief second, and then all of a sudden they're going to change their tune. >> sean: you know, joey you were

raised in georgia, you enlisted in the marine corps in high school. you served your country for eight years. and, you know, during your deployment in afghanistan, you were responsible for disarming and destroying 80ieds, thousands of pounds of other unknown bulk explosives and you stepped on and initiated an ied resulting in the loss of both of your legs. you define to me heroism. and i know to this audience. you are the very definition of it all. and i like your viewpoint. now we're telling service members, we're giving them instructions because they can't put food on the table 'cause we're not paying them enough money. the people that protect the freedom for these kids to go to school, we're going to take their money to pay for their education, but they can't put food on their table and joe biden's government is telling them to go on food stamps. that's what their plan is for our military? that's their way to say thank you?

>> you know, it's embarrasses. it breaks my heart, really. we have an all volunteer service that every single day gets harder to recruit. not because people don't qualify anymore, but because they don't want to. we just spent 20 years fighting a war that our own government can't properly explain as to why it took 20 years to fight it or why we were there to begin with in some cases. so the government's got its back against the wall. they should rolling out the red carpet to recruit talent into our military because not only do we have a problem with getting troops, we've got a problem -- we've got a void in leadership. we're hurting on true leadership. the pentagon should be strife with people pushing back on the partisan politics coming. they're embracing it because they believe its leaders that publicly appointed as generals is that's their way to the top. their personal ambition is outweighing protecting our country because this entire country from coast to coast has

gotten very comfortable watching other people's kids fight wars. and generals have gotten very comfortable watching wars on skype from the pentagon rather than on the ground with our troops. that's a problem. and it's a problem that only a hardship like ukraine has gone through or other places in the world could fix, and that's not what we want we don't want a war to come to our shores. we just marked -- more than 20 years since then. we don't want that again. but the way we prevent it is having a military that's not only ready and well fed and happy, but also tough and ready to go to war and intimidating across the world. we're not focusing on those things and that's the problem. listen, i don't care what your sexual orientation is. i don't care if you're a man or a woman. i want you to lay your life down for this country and be ready to rise up to a standard, not be brought down to one. i don't want the military to look at you and say, if you want purple hair, i guess well let it. you don't have to keep your hair out of the way so that gear

doesn't snag on it. that's okay. you need an -- this doesn't make you a bad person but it can make you a bad soldier. and the time that you're in the military, you could want to meanted in and be another cog in that machine. that's how you become part of something that's bigger than yourself. we're going to ask our citizens to join this military and then say, and you might not be even be able to buy food. that doesn't work, sean. >> sean: so, mark, what the u.s. army released is guidance for soldiers as they fight inflation and they make this suggestion about the snap program, the food stamps program. and they say, well, service members and their family may be eligible, the guidance said, pointing soldiers to the snap website phone number, quote, with inflation affecting everything from gas prices to groceries to rent, some soldiers and their families are find to go harder to get -- buy on their budgets that they've set and

used before. that's the guidance they gave. we're going to tax you, we're going to take your money and we're going to pay off a loan that somebody willingly took on and you can go get food stamps. and we're not going to pay you enough money to put food on your table and you're risk your life for your country. i can't handle that. >> we're better than that, sean. whoever is giving that advise, you know, you had senator kennedy on and he had some of the best one-liners. that advisory is the reason why -- advisor is the reason why there's a direction on the shampoo bottle. i can tell you when we start to look at all of this, we have got to do better than this. right now, they're slow rolling everything in the senate. chuck schumer is slow rolling the defendants authorization. when we start -- defense authorization. when we see this, they got a raise under president trump. they're getting excuses under president biden, sadly.

>> snoo i know i probably spea 93% of this audience. saying, our soldiers deserve better. before we give money to ukraine, before we pay off student debt and solar panel and wind tour ben turbines, how about we pay our military service. >> our 87,000 irs agents. >> sean: we could have hired border patrol agents. thank you, both. >> we got an update on last night's breaking news about the probe. >> also, biden's weaponization of the doj continues. wait until you see what happens this time. veteran homeowners. prices are rising fast. if you need cash, call newday.

get an average of $60,000 with the newday 100 loan. it lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value, not just 80%. that extra cash helps you pay down high-rate credit cards, personal loans, even car loans. credit concerns? give us a call. when your bank says “no” to a veteran newday can say yes.

. >> sean: this is a fox news alert. now, as we see source of the discredited steal dossier paid for by hillary was actually a paid fbi informant tied to russell intel. they also new directly from the source that the dossier were completely false of people like jim comey continue to sign off. and, by the way, this is now

without question the biggest of power, corruption, scandal in american history. we have been proving right over and over again. the fbi paying for russian disinformation, using unverified materials, present to go to the pfizer court, claiming it's verified and lying to the court. the media mob, they just laundered their lies. here with reaction. former trump senior advisory steven miller along with ari. ari, let's get your take on this. he was the primary source for steal. hillary clinton paid for this. in august of 2016, even bruce orr warned everybody at the fbi this is political, this is unverified, be careful, don't use this. andrew mccabe, he had said without the dirty dossier, you don't get the dossier approved.

they got to spy on candidate trump and former president trump. your reaction to this. >> and to divide the united states. there's one thing to fight over ideology, now they're fighting over whether or not donald trump is a russian asset. look, two major american institutions let down their guard and allowed this, happily allowed this to happen. one is the media. the media fell for it all. they called it unverified and unsubstantiated and put it on the first page. maybe you shouldn't cover it until it's verified and substantiated. the other institution that lets down its guard and happily allowed this to happen was the fbi. the fbi could have gone public and said there was nothing to this deal dossier. they had every bit of knowledge inside the fbi, but instead james comey briefed incoming president trump one-on-one about the dossier knowing it would

immediately leak and of course cnn ran with it. this is the damage they did to america through false reporting. you're right, sean, you just said laundered their lives. that's really what it was. >> sean: the doj, steven miller, has issued more than 30 subpoenas. they taken many people's phones. i know recently, i read you had gotten a subpoena. i don't know to what extent you will or will not talk about it. that's not necessary. but i'm worried more about a dual justice system. we know from jim comey himself that hillary clinton had top secret classified information on her e-mail servers. we know for a fact she is bleach pit to delete 33,000 e-mails. that might be called obstruction if that was donald trump. we know that advices were destroyed -- devices were destroyed with hammers and sim cards were removed from devices. we know in the case of hunter biden that their actual crimes on that -- there are actual crimes on that laptop that everybody told us that it was likely russian disinformation. it turns out to be true. and it implicates over and over

and over again joe biden lied to the country when he repeatedly said he had no knowledge of hunter biden's foreign business dealings because there are pictures of hunter and his foreign business partners and joe biden. and we've verified 14 meetings with such partners at different occasions. so my question is, why haven't they raid -- we didn't they raid hillary's home? we didn't they raid the biden's home? why are they getting away with everything. why are they only going after trump people? >> those are all the right questions. you let it out brilliantly. the department of justice, the fbi, federal law enforcement has become an instrument of the democrat party. it has become a tool, an extension of partisan democrat politics to put innocent republicans in jail, to raid their homes, to steal their

property, to target them and their families. democrats are immunized, shielded, protected. again, as you mentioned, where is the raid on hunter and joe? where's the raid on hillary and all of her aides who destroyed all of that property, who smashed up the phones, who erased the e-mails as well as the law firm that was involved in the destruction of her records so they cannot be handed over to federal investigators? right? where is the raid on the homes of the fbi agents who were involved in the russian collusion hoax from the very beginning and who knew it was false? . >> sean: and lied to the court repeatedly. they lied to judges repeatedly. >> this is what we have in america. and for the love of god, if republicans get control of congress, there must be accountability. we at the department of justice that goes after the murderers, the drug cartels, the criminals that are laying waste to our cities instead of going after

republicans, conservatives and donald trump. >> i say this with a degree of sober sadness here. if we don't have in this country equal justice and equal application of our laws and all our laws are based on that document called the u.s. constitution, then we don't have a country. we might as well shred it. and it seems that's where we are in this country. and the media, as you wrote in your best selling book, is aiding and abetting every step of the way and they perpetrate every lie on behalf of the democrats. they push the phony dossier in 2016 and they pushed the lie that hunter biden's laptop was russian disinformation in 2020. >> you know, and i think there's another analogy we need to remember. 2011 takeover of the capital and the state of wisconsin, when protestors took over the statement capital building to stop legislation passed into the law, did the fbi give penalties?

did they go after and prosecute the people who physically took over that capital building? did the fbi demand the phones of anybody who help organize that protest? did they subpoena the records? no. it's that disparate treatment, sean. that is where the fbi is at such great risk under merrick garl. >> sean: can we get away it -- has the fbi been politicalized? is the doj weaponized? >> i'm very worried under merrick garland that there's element inside the fbi that has. and they have the -- normally the press would blow the whistle on this type of behavior. it's only conservative media that's only blowing the whistle. the mainstream media sooemz to be content -- seems to be content to go after republican people. it's not this is what

i'm so about with how --. >> sean: we have literally every major democrat. they questioned past elections. they said george w. bush was illegitimate. they're the ones that said stacy an habrahams won and hillary wo. but if you're a conservative, you can't say that. >> one other thing, we got 574 riots in the summer of 2020 and we had thousands of injured cops. we had dozens of dead americans and billions in property damage. >> the courthouses is taking over. >> they're still protesting outside of the chief justices home. they're still profiting outside the home ofs -- protesting the u.s. supreme court justices and the doj is doing nothing. >> sean: all right. still ahead, our vetting of the democrats, their far left candidates continues.

we'll do the media mob's job. we'll talk to senator ron johnson. straight ahead.

. >> sean: all right. now with only 55 days until the crucial midterm race and that election happen with early voting about to begin in many states, we will do the job the media mob never do and that is actually vet the far left socialist democratic candidates, including the state of wisconsin where a new poll from marquette university has republican senator in a tight race with the lieutenant governor, mandela barnes with senator johnson holding a one point lead. this is an important hold seat

for the republicans. tens and tens of millions of dollars for the people of wisconsin, you need to know, has been dumped on senator johnson. a lot of that money not coming from inside wisconsin. and by the way, that is the same socialist democrats m.o. in every senate race. smears, lies, slander and democrats, it can't run on biden's failed agenda. he has made his radicalism no secret, including on the issue of green new deal socialism where he has said where the world need to stymie capitalism to save the planet. here he is being ask aed about his far left climate agenda. this is back in 2019. listen in. >> the reason why we're in this mess is greed. i guess its capitalism run amuck. it's the same reason why gun violence is so rampant in the united states of america. it's the same reason why we deal with all these other issues. the simple answer is get money

out of the politics. second answer is stymied capitalism the way it is in america. and the third is to organize. >> sean: stymie capitalism, the single system that created more wealth. add to that, all of barnes other extreme positions. dea di defunding the police and releasing half of the prison population. here is he making excuses for the violence. take a look this. >> this is about accountant, man. the reason people are marching is because they want things to be better. now that, you know, cities are literally burning across the country, folks can see how this impacts their lives. because it's only so long people can feel this oppression and move forward without reacting. so as always, you know, i think

that in times like these, in times of crisis that protest is necessary. this is a culmination. these things can't keep happening, like, you know, what do you expect? how do you expect people to react when, you know, they're going about their lives and they feel threatened. >> sean: is he supporting insurrection? he also wants free and state tuition. he wants driver's licenses for illegal imimmigrants. he suggested he wants prisoners to be able to vote and also call small businesses selfish wanting to stay opened amid covid lockdowns. so a vote for man della barnes is a vote to destroy the livhood and success of the state of wisconsin. here with reaction. wisconsin senator, ron johnson. wow, i thought fetterman was bad, the guy that never worked a day in his life. this guy is right up there. how much money has been spent in negative ads on you?

'cause this is happening all over country. >> it's well over $65 million now. it's pretty rich when he gets on that panel where he said he got to get money out of the politics. democrats hates money until it is spent to lie about their opponent. sean, you said he made his views well, knowing, that's in the past. he's not, you know, embracing those right now. he's in hiding. you know, what's interesting about the release of half the prison population, that was their goal. he's on camera releasing prisoners are sexy. they released 15% of wisconsin's prisoners, about 884 people. only 11% of those were nonviolent. around 100 people. that means 784 violent prisoners have been released, 44rapists,

270 criminals who mainly attempted murder . this is the radical plan, i guess, to reduce crime. it is insane but that is of course what is the left politics is. it is instain and destructive to our -- insane and destructive to our country. >> sean: they dumped tens of millions of dollars on republican senate candidates in negative ads, nobody wants to be seen with biden and nobody wants to debate the republican opponent. is that the same case with you? >> no. exactly. he's taking a page out of biden's playbook. you know, hide out. maybe not in the basement, but he's not taking questions from the press. they haven't agreed to do any debate whatsoever. he couldn't afford to let wisconsin know who he is. but fortunately because people in your audience have been generous, other people have. we've been raising the resource but we'll need more. ronjobsforsenate.com. we're getting no help from the mainstream media in wisconsin

who are advocates for the left. but eventually the truth, i think, will prevail here. let's hope and pray it does. >> sean: well, this is an important race. when does early voting start in wisconsin? >> we have two weeks early voting. so it's not till later in october. so we have time to get the truth out. that's why i need you to support ronjohnsonforsenator.com. >> sean: i don't think anybody should be able to cast a vote in a race until they have a debating. because people need to see the candidates together so they can make an informed decision, an educated decision before they go into a voting booth. and this is going to be a very important race. i'm pretty confident you will do well, but the amount of money they're spending to try and knock you out is staggering. anyway, senator johnson. thank you. >> when we come back, we'll be joined by senator rand paul. he and dr. fauci, they got into a very heated change on the hill today. we're going to get reaction from

senator paul. still ahead. - i'm norm. - i'm szasz. [norm] and we live in columbia, missouri. we do consulting, but we also write. [szasz] we take care of ourselves constantly; it's important. we walk three to five times a week, a couple miles at a time. - we've both been taking prevagen for a little more than 11 years now. after about 30 days of taking it, we noticed clarity that we didn't notice before. - it's still helping me. i still notice a difference. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. i left headquarters after hearing a plane hit the world trade center. this can't possibly be an accident. look at the sky. it's beautiful. i had in my mind that this was an attack right away. you saved so many lives that day. where were you when the towers came down? i hear this loud noise. i look up and it was the north tower coming down. and i can just remember the huge antenna imploding into the building. i looked up and i said, i'm not going to outrun this. i dove under an

apparatus there on the corner of west and vesey. awaited the dust cloud. right here. right here. i was in my house in the south tower, came down, and i received a phone call from a firefighter. he said to me, frank, it's really bad down here. i said, i know. and he goes, no, you don't understand. nobody's come home. and i had to get off the phone, tell my three sisters my brothers, that steven wasn't coming home. he ran through the tunnel to the towers. and that's why we started the tunnel to towers foundation. all these men and women have inspired us. every time i'm here at the american response monument that represents the 12 horsemen that rode into afghanistan, they were told, you take this mission, you're not going to come home. true american heroes. they never forgot what happened on september 11th and meeting them when they came home. it just sent chills up my spine because i knew what they went through. we're so proud at the tunnel to towers. for taking care of catastrophically injured service members.

. >> sean: so earlier today on capitol hill, senator rand paul grilled dr. fauci and demanded accountability. take a look. >> she really has the flu if she really has the flu. she definitely doesn't need a flu vaccine if she really has the flu. >> she should not get it again. >> she doesn't need it because it's the -- it's the most potent vaccination is getting infecinfected yourself. >> this is ongoing question and we have evolving opinion for you. currently antibody show that 80%

of children, approximately 80% of children have had covid and yes, there are no guidelines coming from you or anybody from the government to take into their account their natural acquired immunity. you seem quite certain of yourself in 2004, but in 2022 there's a lot less certainty. >> a vaccination following an infection gives an added extra boost. and that film that you showed is taking out of context. i believe that was when somebody called in who had had a reaction to a vaccine. >> sean: now, remember, it is not a coincidence that fauci announced his departure from the federal government at the exact same time that failed cdc director announced a massive agency shake-up. they have literally lost the confidence of you, the american people. remember, it was fauci who said that vaccines will stop transmission and told congress that the u.s. never funded research at the wuhan lab.

despite government documents showing otherwise, this man has made one failing decision after another and has taken zero responsibility for all of it. here to explain more, senator rand paul. senator, talking for hold this guy accountable. the cdc, sorry, we were wrong on the vaccines. that's the biggest announcement this week. and we have the evidence that he's not been honest to the american people, don't we? >> we did have a little fun reintroducing dr. fauci to his 2004 self when he seemed to quite understand basic immunology that when you have a disease you develop immunity. so being his arrogant self, he decided to say, well, you know i wrote the book. i wrote the chapter on immunology and i'm like, make you should reread the chapter. but the thing is, is that we did get him to admit to things. he's not denying immunity, but he never would quite tell us why it no longer counsel.

my point is this, parents have to make a tough decision and so do elderly people in our country. should you take one, two, three vaccines or take ten vaccines? but the only way we know this is if you did studies on either taking another vaccine or not, but you have to include the variable of whether or not you have the natural infection because that also provides immunity. if you leave that variable out of the equation, people can't make intelligent decision. we actually -- they're not lettinged us know the information -- letting us know the information to help us decide do i need to take a third or fourth or fifth vaccine. and the current testing that they're doing for the new covid variant vaccine was doesn't on mice. no humans. no safety trials, no efficacy trials. eight mice were given the new vaccine and they want to you give it to your kid. >> sean: so your a medical doctor, just to remind people that may not remember. you got an infection early.

did you ever get any vaccine? you don't have to answer if you don't want, obviously. >> no, i didn't. i want people to be clear, i'm not against people taking the vaccine. for my in-laws that are elderly, we want them to get it. my wife ended up getting vaccinated. i didn't get because i already been infected. but that's what i've been asking. base your desire and your need for a vaccine on your risk factors. and since kids, 80% of them have had the infection -- and i keep asking dr. fauci how many kids who have already had covid are getting it again and going to the hospital and dying? i think the answer is 0. he says we don't have enough data. that's because the answer is zero. if you have had covid, if your kid has had covid, the chance that your kid will get it again, go to the hospital and die, unless your child has some extraordinary immune o

compromising disease, it's probably zero. so why do we want to give our children three vaccines when we may not know all of the long-term ramifications? now listen to what i'm saying. i'm not saying the elderly should avoid it. the elderly should take the vaccine. >> sean: rt senator, i'm pretty of the you're going to win. but we appreciate your good work here, senator rand paul. thank you. >> thanks, sean. >> sean: more hannity right after the break. stay with us.
