(202) 748-8001 for republicans. democrats (202) 748-8000. and independents (202) 748-8002. on msnbc last night, dr. fauci participated in an interview and talked about the lessons he learned while dealing with covid. [video clip] >> in some respects, the situation has eroded, and i think it has in the sense of neglecting of the capabilities of the local public health officials. because if you want to respond to an emerging infection, you do need leadership from above. you need central support from the government. but at the local level, you also have to have the kind of resources that will allow you to respond. what we learned, and i hope we're still learning, a very important lesson from covid, that you never, ever underestimate an emerging infection in which you do not know where it is going, because we have been fooled before. we did not fully appreciate the magnitude of hiv in the earl

fauci.f it wasn't for dr. fauci -- i am an african-american woman, and if it was not for him and the biden administration, a lot of us black americans would be dead. trump had made it very political. when they found out that it was affecting the african-american community more in the hispanic and asian community more than the white community, he just did not care about it. that is when he made it political. that is when they started talking so bad against found she -- fauci. fauci is a hero and always will be. so those who talk bad about him, that is ok, because everybody knows what dr. fauci has done for this country. host: that is stephanie in new york. several opinions looking at the doctor's influence over various infectious diseases over his career, covid being the most notable and most visible over the past few years. you can call and comment.

scott atlus worked with tony fauci fauci in the white house. he's a senior fellow in health care policyy at stanfordns university's hoover institution. he joins us tonight. dr. u pardon pardon the overheated assessment, but his very frustrating to watch someone who at the very least has been wrong and whose wrong statements have tremendo consequences, never even being asked about itse. yes. well, i'll say his legacy is presiding over the greatest debacle in public health history because his recommendations were implemented in those implementations of the locked down and the school closurest that he recommended along with his underling. dr. burke's failed. they failed by the data to stopo the spread of the infection. they failed to stop the known vulnerable to die from dying and they inflicted enormous . rms they spared the affluent and the elite atno the sacrifice of the poor, minorities and ourn children. the sinfulur and long lasting damage to our children is one of his legacies. because those policies of masking, isolating and quarantining h

fauci. >> dr. fauci, retirement or not, will be spending a lot of time in front of a congressional committee and committees if republicans take back control. we will ask him questions about gain of function research, why he didn't push back on china's lives. we'll have a lot of questions and will subpoena him and expect him to answer. >> kevin: if republicans capture house majority, james comer says he would like to play a lead role in the search for answers. >> we have a lot of questions for dr. fauci. laura, he's never testified in front of the house since covid started, there are so many questions members have. we told dr. fauci to preserve all documents and all e-mails. >> kevin: grab your popcorn, fauci inconsistency is coming into question, critics argue he's flip flopped on several issues including origin of the virus and masking. >> i wear it for the reason i believe it is effective. if you are vaccinated we have high degree of protection, you need not wear a mask whether indoor or o

anthony fauci. kennedy: and as "the wall street journal" today suggested, thanks to fauci, americans will never trust government health officials again. so what will his legacy be? hero or villain. meet the party panel and contributing editor of the post steven miller and democrat poster and cohort of the five, jessica tarlov and cofounder base politics and education policy correspondent brad palumbo. steven, i will start with you tonight. my problem here is no one is immune to criticism. i don't care how long you've served in government, i don't care how important you are. anyone's job is fair game if they have made mistakes so why does fauci keep reframing this as a character assassination? >> because he's science itself and he said .s said people are going to medical school because of him. he's a science denier now and he'll classify in addition as character assassination. when we start trying to figure out how much u.s. taxpayer in the form of grants filtered to equihealth alliance in wuhan to s

doctor fauci is announcement. avoid being drawn into any investigations. if republicans win control of the u.s. house in the midterm elections. doctor fauci denies that has anything to do with his decision. meanwhile, republican senator rand paul said in the statement that fauci, his resignation will not prevent a full-throated investigation into the origins of the pandemic and said fauci would be asked to testify this in reference to the theory that the pandemic may have originated from a chinese lab leak. now, doctor fauci says he'll spend the next few months preparing his department for his departure. and then after that, he hopes to take on a role that will allow him to continue. >> to inspire the next generation of scientific leaders live in washington. alexandra limon. >> alright, quite a lot happening and we will be following. thank you for that update. alexander. well, coming up next to the kron, 4 morning news. governor newsom vetoes a bill that would >> make safe injection sites. legal. what state senato

fauci's institute directly funded it.you expect we'll ever learn anything even with a congressional investigative effort or the chinese communist party ensure we never know what happened there? >> the chinese piece of the investigation is different but in terms of what we can learn about fauci's relationship with organization that was sponsoring that gain of function research, there's a lot. even when private organizations have filed freedom of information act request for fauci's e-mails and we've learned more about fauci's relationship. i will say i think democrats have set a precedent with the january 6 committee they'll perhaps regret and they've returned the teeth to a congressional subpoena by referring to the criminal justice. that's a precedence now and you can't ignore a congressional subpoena and that will come back to haunt fauci and other targets of the republican investigations. james: okay, interesting. thanks, guys. stay with us. when we come back, florida voters sending a clear message to schools this week:

it is not about anthony fauci himself. it is about the recommendations he had to the american people that i think it was ted cruz who said this is a contrary to every civil rights as americans and that we accepted it was atrocious. >> dagen: he worked with others in government to criticize and smear scientists who did oppose these broad lockdowns and instead got behind the scientists, a more targeted focused protection. he worked with director francis collins at the national institute of health to shut down any dissent. i want to read this also from this "wall street journal" op-ed. dr. fauci's influence was all the greater because he had an echo chamber in the press corps who public elite. it was on full display last night on rachel maddow on msnbc as she gushed over tony fauci. >> he is a singular figure in american history and in american public service that has never been anyone else like him and there never will be again. >> dagen: sean? >> first off, i think it's hard to say pandemic, covid was something we never exp

fauci?scientist. >> well i think this is everything to do with politics, as basil said, nothing to do with policy or public service. and i would say that there are two things that are dangerous and scary about this. one to your point, this was a pandemic where we had a public servant who frankly, from where i was sitting, did his best to ensure that he was sharing the information he had with the public, even when it contradicted misinformation and disinformation from the president, of the sitting president at the time. that is always dangerous, if you attack someone who's in public service for doing what a public servant is supposed to do, which is their job, it's not about loyalty, or any candidate person in power. secondly, and sitting, here i should've corrected you at the top, ayman, because i'm the former msnbc legal analyst, but as the presidency of the legal conference on civil rights, we are sitting and watching the increase of hate crimes and violence. and watching the stoking of po

fauci was all but burned in effigy. he was the target of big, urgent spectacular protests, and while he was being targeted with that criticism, he had the presence of mind and the strength of character to listen, and realize his critics were actually right, that not only did clinical trials and drug approved roll aid to be spent up, the people whose lives were at stake needed to be able to get access to drugs that were still being studied by all the studies were still going on. they did not have time to wait, and they should not be forced to wait. it was very, very fierce criticism of dr. fauci, which he heard, he understood, and he ultimately accepted. that, ultimately, made him change the way the u.s. government worked in the mid jog development worked, and that forcibly you turn to the future of the aids epidemic in this country. how many other people could do that? dr. fauci has now spent 38 years as the head of night, visible and active leader of the nation's response to infectious diseases of all kinds of hiv and

i have spoken to dr fauci about this.he stage and make statements about covid that anthony fauci felt he was compelled to respond to. he would then follow donald trump, and have to redirect the conversation about drugs like hydroxychloroquine which donald trump said was a treatment for covid and doctor fauci said this actually does not have a lot of evidence and over the course of 2020, whether it was donald trump himself or his deputies, dr fauci increasingly was in the public eye pushing back on what donald trump had said. a difficult tightrope to walk, as you remember, with republicans and opponents still going after him to this day about the lockdown restrictions he put in place. how likely do you think now that he has announced he is stepping down is it likely that that is going to continue, or do you think they will go away? some of it will continue. we an election coming up in the us in a few months and republicans have vowed that if they win one or both chambers of congress, they would launch investigations into d

fauci on twitter, so try to to ban people who make death threats against dr. fauci.a person for an opinion. you know, twitter banned alex berenson, and this also occurred, came out on joe rogan -- he's a font of news -- after the biden administration told them to do so because he was a vaccine skeptic. he's a journalist, as you know. howard: right. let me get to the next story. "the new york post" story was true as was confirmed a year and a half later. the russian disinformation argument was d.s., is so why -- b.s., so why is the fbi going to facebook with warning? isn't this a brazen attempt to influence what's allowed on one of the world's biggest media companies? >> if you want to know why so many conservatives, but others included, are so skeptical about this fbi whatever you want to call it, raid or, you know, visit to mar-a-lago for these tock do unit withs, because it really does appear that the sort of law enforcement agencies had it out for trump from day one and that they were looking for anything, unturning every single rock to catch him on something. and

fauci told us . he has done everything in his ability to obstruct any type ofh congressional oversight. but more importantly, he's done everything he can to obstructonn any type of investigation, even from the intelligence community earlye on and from the trump administration to try to determine the origination of covid-19. th i thinke the reason that dr. fauci is retiring is because now that the dust has settled, the scientists who he always refers to are now realizing that the odds that this originated in covid lab in%. the lab are almost 100%. he threw in a reference to the wet market tonight in general about future pandemics. heth talked about the rain foret and the wet markets that we well, i think they're wetut markets are discussing that. that was kind of another nod to the origins theory. so we don't have time to play it. but suffice it to say, that was mentioned, congressman colmar, b we're going to be watching this closely. thank you so much. and a big cly media observer becomes a member of
