it's anthony fauci.'s because he wants a democrat in his pool, but these two democrats are so outside the mainstream of the democratic electorate that he could choose either of them, and it wouldn't matter to other democrats. >> on the point of anthony fauci, which brings me quickly to the notion that president biden is actively considering preemptive pardons for people like dr. fauci, do you think the president should grant those preemptive pardons? and two, should they take them? >> absolutely. dr. fauci, liz cheney, the list is long. trump put people on a list, and i think this is something that the president should not just consider, he should do-- >> yes and yes trump is a unique thread. >> agreed. for longer-- thank you both for coming to the show. >>> a slim majority in the next congress, congressman elect adam gray of california won the last house race called in this election and flipped the seat blue. the message he is carrying to washington from his constituents, and what he hopes to get done a

anthony fauci. what would anthony fauci be guilty of? i am not as learned as the judge when it comes to laws but don't you have to break a law to have a pardon? let's stop with this outrage over this party, both sides. it's the one thing biden did that he probably should have done in his entire term. he protected his son and his family. i'm not mad at that. i understand that. do i like it? no. what i do it for my own child? i would have. the difference was i would've had them standing next to me. face america and you tell them what you did and you apologize. okay? but let's stop with the "i can't believe he pardoned" thing. it's one the most laughable things, everyone is so outraged. it's probably the one thing they let him decide himself when they were sticking the knife in his back when they told him he was stepping down. you step down, you get to pardon your son and he probably took the deal so let's move on from the pardon. the only thing i wish is of biden would love the american people as much as his son maybe he would've treated t

anthony fauci and dr. anthony fauci would not answer questions about if it came from the lab and did not answer if he pr profited from research that went into the vaccine and research done at the lab. this gives stamp of authority to what most suspected fauci was all over the place talking about masking and saying it did not work and saying you need to mask or double mask or maybe you don't, he was all over the place. early in the pandemic we worked with tony fauci and he was all over the place, this subcommittee report reinforces what the most know, this did not come from a lab in a wuhan lab, it came from a lab completely g generated and funded by u.s. taxpayer dollars. >> todd: is this it? does something else follow this once president trump takes office and house maintains republican control? >> well, what i think is that you're going to see mor moreoversight of this. americans are tired, your point to children and old people in old folks homes, they were not seen by relatives as they were locked down.

anthony fauci. [applause] where is he? anthony, you're a good man. i love you. [applause] as my mother would say, god loves you, anthony. also i like to acknowledge dr. laura shever h.i.v. leader and department of health and human services who's retiring this year. she started when she was 10. take a look at her. [laughter] god, i love you. the idea of the quilt was to continue in 1985 of clyde jones and mike smith will share with you today. mike, stand up. to honor of all those we loved in h.i.v./aids. started with one name and one panel four decades ago. and decades later, 50,000 panels and 110,000 names. this quilt weighs 54 tons. a large community art project in the entire world. and it tells the tragic stories of brothers who died too soon, moms who contracted aids to childbirth and her daughter's life stolen and her own as well. friends and partners who lost loved ones in their lives. and so many more stories of precious lives have cut too short. and i do realize that on these days of celebration, they bring back all the memories. they're hard. it's not ea

rachel: anthony fauci said he knew he couldn't do that because our laws said no and it was dangerous and then he ended up through the wuhan lab, and he knew what he did. when this leaked, he knew it leaked from a lab, but he didn't want to say it because he was ultimately responsible for the funds for that research. charlie: he cared more about his own tail than a virus that was stocking the country and killing millions. if anyone asked questions or wrote stories about it in realtime when it all started unfolding, the entire -- if you asked questions or wondered about it out loud, you were silsilsilenced and the worse sco turns out that's what happened. will: to make this not just a conversation in the rear-view mirror, if what we're learn asking true and ecohealth alliance was an asset of might be mum of health intelligence community and fauci played his role with the intelligence community is part of this, and we're spying on countries with these diseases and we weren't just funding it but helping them. rachel: shame on the media for coming at this way too late. this is way too lat

subcommittee has received in recent days from parties to investigations this congress including from dr anthony fauci, dr francis collins, the department of health and human services and the american federation of teachers. these submissions memorialize substantive objections of these parties have to the representations made in the majority's report. and i believe it is important that the record reflect their perspectives as well. >> without objection. >> look, it goes without saying that both sides of the aisle have not always seen eye to eye in the select subcomittee this congress. and it is clear from our two final reports that as the select side community concludes, we are leaving with different impressions of what we did or did not find. at various points, we have debated these issues and i think the record is clear on where we all stand. so as we wrap up these two years, i want to say a few final things. first, we want to acknowledge the devastating loss of life that covid-19 pandemic inflicted on families and communities across this country. more than one million americans lost their lives to.

the biggest knock against donald trump during the pandemic is listening too much to people like anthony faucirestrictions were in place to begin with and trump tried to loosen but states work listening to cdc and anthony fauci mimic the politics of this, this does not help democrat. >> doctor fauci lied to congress because principal deputy director of the nih minute nih was funding gain of function research of the wuhan institute of virology. the wuhan lab was working on coronavirus is so doesn't take a genius -- but to the extent we were like two, april 2020 covid was not as that the as they were saying because antibody tests being done in santa clara, california as well as new york, december of 2020 lockdowns didn't stop the spread, 74% of the spread was at home gatherings. driver 2021, vaccines want preventing the spread, 75% of the cases were vaccinated people in the cdc was aware. joe biden took the stage at the end of july and townhall telling americans if you got the vaccine, he wouldn't get covid. we would like to the entire time and doctor fauci is corrupt and evil and was the person

biden is considering pardoning liz chaney, adam schiff and anthony fauci.r everyone. >> jesse: he said pardon trump, that's what he said. trump does not need a pardon though, he can do it himself. trump's party would not be upset at him because they know his indictments weren't political. no one can even name a victim. hunter on the other hand, his victims are everywhere. one of his old landlords says hunter still owes him money. he tried to pay rent with his paintings. so what happens to the 300 grand in back rent pay that hunter biden owes my family from 2019-2020? is that pardoned now? thanks joe. and the judge in the hunter tax case just wrote that biden is trying to rewrite history with his pardon. i guess for the first time since the pardon, big smile on his face, walking out of an arby's. arby's, really? not very -- hunter celebrated the pardon by watching a documentary about his own life that his sugar brother financed. can't wait for that to come out. a source told the post he's happy and a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders which he's had to

so if joe biden were to go so far as to preemptively pardon an anthony fauci, for example. history will forever judge him as being someone who needed a pardon. in other words, he had done some particular federal crime for which he needed a pardon. he has very mentally denied that. others have said he could be indicted for lying to congress. people say maybe he committed sometime of mass fraud by lying to the american people about masks, vaccines, social distancing, school closing and the whole thing like that. history will forever judge anthony fauci and the others who needed a pardon because they committed a federal crime. that's not what these people want. >> dagen: rand paul did make a criminal appeal to fauci's testimony to congress. good to see you, sir. the doge duo, they take on our nation's capital. elon musk and vivek ramaswamy pitching their vision to lawmakers. most republicans on board and some democrats support is trickling in. the final hearing of the house task force on the assassination attempts on president-elect donald trump. that going off the rails. >> i

let's add to the list you were just mentioning, liz cheney, anthony fauci and mark milley.he idea that the trump administration is going to prosecute and indict these five people, immediately building them into martyrs for the liberal cause for the whole course of the first, second trump term is ridiculous are. and trump surrogates have been going on television saying there is no possibility of doing this. he has said before that the best retribution would be a successful first term and the get diverted into prosecutions of these people, i think, is ultimately a non-issue. but the democrats believe this sort of thing and actually would go so far as the suggest biden should issue preemptive pardons. terrible idea. paul: so kash patel, who is the nominee for the fbi, he has threatened retribution against critics of the president. he said criminally or civilly, we'll figure it out, he said on steve bannon's show, kyle, radio show, podcast. so that's where some of the people say, see, we need to do that, because the fbi will be unleashed existence us. what do you make of patel'

also mentioned by biden aides for a potential pardon, anthony fauci.considered by president biden. >> such a move would be extraordinary, bret. we are already seeing biden break new ground in his pardon of his son hunter. not necessarily pardoning hunter and himself but the fact that the breadth of the pardon covering all crimes hunter may have committed or did commit in decade long period was extraordinary and has caused the president many political problems. of course, he has not answered a single question or said anything about that pardon since departing for africa right after releasing it. to do something of this nature preemptive pardons. not only a scandal but also raise many questions that people around the country already have about what shenanigans have some of these figures been up to and i think it would only be in a way an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of some of these figures if they were to accept this type of preemptive pardon. >> bret: josh, what do you think democrats feel about this whole process. i have heard a lot of

anthony fauci. says this, the white house officials are carefully a weighing the step of handing out blanket pardons for those who committed no crimes, it could fuel trump's criticism and those offered preemptive pardons may reject them. the story is to si ridiculous. i will tell my view right now. this is an effort to muddy up the fact that joe biden is about to pardon his brother, jim biden, because of the charges from the oversight committee of money laundering and influence peddling. the fact they would even discuss putting a pardon on people like adam schiff and cheney, liz cheney, tells you that all of this lawfare against trump is total bs. who would hand out a pardon for someone who didn't commit a crime. >> it's all about this. this is the most important pardon that's coming, jim biden, so joe biden could alienate himself from any ties to what we all know took place according to the oversight committee and that is the biden family taking in millions of dollars from foreign adversary. >> yea

these pardons include adam schiff, liz cheney, doctor anthony fauci, some on the left are openly advocating for the preemptive pardons, watch this. >> he wrote a book and he had an enemies list and it so we know exactly who he has threatened to go after without cause. maria: i want to know what do you think about this. i will give you my opinion first i think this is a lot of smoke and beers at the biden administration is trying to throw a lot of names that us pardon here part of their they're trying to muddy up the fact that he needs to pardon his brother jim biden to further insulate him from the money laundering and influence peddling schemes that the oversight committee told us about, do you believe they want to pardon people like liz cheney. >> it's hard to believe that they would. i agree the real thing he has departed is all members of his family defecated in the money-laundering and sale of access to multiple countries. the liz cheney stuff, the issue there did she support and that's a question, dr. fauci lied to congress he is a perjury problem and you look adam schiff, healing fro

other folks that doctor anthony fauci, adam schiff, liz cheney, i mean that could be targeted by a kash>> i mean it's certainly something to consider. i guess my question is i have not done anything wrong. i know that, and i know that many of us who have just spoken the truth, all we are doing is speaking the truth. but in today's environment, in terms of what's to come under the trump administration, i think that's something that we're all thinking about. and wondering what's to come. and i think i am a prime example of what's to come when i've already gotten a threatening letter by someone like kash patel, who we know is a loyalist and a henchman for donald trump. >> all right, olivia troye, thank you very much. appreciate it. keep us posted. we'll be right back yes, the ups store knows you want that special something to be there when you can't. >> she sent candles we'll make sure of it. >> we're the packet. ship. it guarantee its store to helping you give the gifts. the love store. we're here to make the holidays happy. we're the one. stop right around the corner be unstoppable. ever

adam schiff, liz cheney, by the way i got to believe if i'm anthony fauci, i'm like, don't give me a preemptive pardon. i didn't do anything wrong. why would you? i don't even want it. people are going to think that something went on here that didn't. but i don't want to see that process continue because i think that it will just foster this narrative among the public, that it's all political. some of it has been political. don't get me wrong. i want to remind you, go to my website at smerconish.com. answer. today's poll question. i can't wait to see how this one turns out. will the tasteless reaction of some to the murder of brian thompson nevertheless lead to positive change in the health insurance industry? still to come, will dna evidence finally be the key to solving the decades old jonbenet ramsey case that gripped our nation? have you seen the documentary on netflix? it's amazing. and john ramsey will be here with the director in a moment. and the original ymca, it got trump dancing it hit number one after 45 years. now the song's writer from the village people has a mess

and yet suddenly, adam schiff, liz cheney and anthony fauci may be above the law because democrats fear that donald trump will do to the justice system what they've already done. and i think the key word here is fear, because that is the word that the propaganda press will use if joe biden goes forward with these pardons to justify why democrats are suddenly abandoning this. nobody is above the law principle when most americans understand they never abided by it. but democrats now have to cover up why they're changing course. and there's no better way to do that than fear mongering. poor democrats are scared so they can do whatever they want to save themselves. that is what we should watch going forward, is how they cover this. >> that's that's a great point. and tudor, you know, when we think about the nature of what they've always cared about, we've seen now i don't know, a decade of defunding. well, certainly five, seven years of defunding the police, restorative justice. we've seen that be an aspect with the judge in the daniel pennie cas, dei dynamics. and we really have made it so

at the same time, do you want to pardon somebody like liz cheney or anthony fauci and suggest any kindopriety that could only add fuel to the trump aggressors in the first place. it's a real tough nut. >> so, you have been at this for a very long time, covering national politics for a very long time, and you have done it very well. >> thank you. >> did you ever think that we would be living through an era where we would be talking about pardons, preemptive pardons for people like dr. fauci or people like liz cheney as part of the political process that we have been living under for the last eight years. it's unimaginable. >> it's completely shocking to even write this. you know, the idea of offering people who have not been charged with any crime, there's no even hint of committing any crimes, pardons, because the nature of the incoming administration is such that they're pretty open about the idea of pursuing a kind of third world model, when we come in, we go after the old guys. i can hear what the trump folks are going to say immediately. he's only saying what they did to us, and i
