this is not tony fauci changing or turning over new leaf.s is who he's been from the very beginning. it is a simple fact that he testified to congress by the way, that he did not fund through his agency gain-of-function research in the wuhan labs. making the coronavirus is there more dangerous and more transmissible. yet his agency has since acknowledged they in fact did fund that kind of gain-of-function research. both things can't be true. fauci should be investigative or lying to congress. >> laura: doesn't he seem more angry at people like you and senator cruz that he is at china? he's far angrier at republicans. i think he thinks you guys are a far bigger threat to world health than president xi and that scientist at the wuhan lab. do you agree? >> from the beginning tony fauci and they know it all public health bureaucrats have been worried about hurting the feelings of their friends in other countries than they have been protecting the american people from the chinese communist party and what it did to unleash this plague on the world

changing the rules. tony: if you are talking about showing id -- john: stacey abrams -- tony: that did not happen! john: do not hide! most people are for id! tony: that will not change the rules in georgia. john: there are 15 new rules including somebody brings a bottle of water why they stand in line. karen: reclaiming my time. one last question. before we go to your questions. what about the perception of biden articulated this week by abigail? that this gigantic massive program that the democrats are trying to get through on capitol hill is not what biden was elected to do. that people did not think that they were electing fdr. john: 90% of president biden's ads outlined the build back better program and how we were going to pay for it. i love her, she is great, and she is reacting to her governor in virginia. joe biden did one -- two things in the election. he is going to get control of covid, and he laid out everything that is in conciliation or build back together. we did hundreds of millions of dollars

so clearly something deep inside tony fauci has changed. the men now believes he is a deity.ch him sweat aside criticism from a sitting u.s. senator who has been democratically elected by millions of people by invoking january 6th. watch this. >> senator cruz told the attorney general you should be prosecuted. >> yes. [laughs] i have to laugh at that. i should be prosecuted? what happened on january 6, senator. >> tucker: wait a second. this is the man in charge of our covid response. what does january 6th have to do with covid, u.s.? simple, anyone who questions tony fauci is by definition a dangerous insurrectionist. dr. fauci is not the only one who believes that. a few weeks ago, francis collins suggested that any american who doubts government covid policy is a criminal. he announced he would like to "identify those who are purposefully spreading false information online about covid and bring them to justice. public health officials didn't used to talk like this but they won't concern themselves with public health. this is how they talk now. and all might be easier to ta

and tony, how's the situation changed over the last few months since the taliban take over? i think that the, from some aspect, the situation is more stable than 2 months ago. but from other aspects, as i told you, the freefall of the economy is reducing the income of the afghans severely. to the point where the malnutrition is spreading. and if we do not act rapidly, providing humanitarian assistance to the population, there can be a very serious women that in grades not justified that as an another sector which is very good. the health system and the al system in afghanistan is on the verge of collapse. and so my appeal, as i have seen in the, in the field, and now i'm here, i think this opportunity to say that is an urgent need for the international community to mobilize. and to provide immediate support to the african people who is suffering very, very much. antonio, 5 and a half 1000000 people are internally displaced. as you mentioned in your statement, roughly the population of finland. where are these people now? and what are their circumstances? they have been displ

what does this agreement mean for the level of us engagement with the tony bon well, it's not really going to change the u. s. had tando what it called a tactical or pragmatic engagements with the taliban. but the u. s. government is not prepared and probably won't be prepared for some time to recognize the taliban as the legitimate government in afghanistan. that's because in the u. s. is view the previous sud democratically elected government was overthrown and that there needs to be a political process to put in a new government that has been chosen and supported by the afghan people. but that said, the u. s. still does have interest in afghanistan. it needs a way to be able to get visas and passports delivered to us citizens and to afghan citizens who worked with the u. s. military during the 20 year long war and so on without its own diplomats being on the ground in cobble to do this processing. it needed another country to step in and to help them achieve this work because of the ongoing, the cooperation that he had received from the coterie government. the decision was made to formalize this

tony democrats. there were some ideas on what democrats can do to change that. ng with me this morning. it's a pleasure to see you. what is it that makes you worry about the latino voter issue? >> what makes me worry about the latino voters is that they need to be spoken to just like any voter. just pay them some respect. talk to them. get to know them. find out their issues and you'll understand that you can get their vote, especially when you're the party that is for working people, making sure that people who come to this country as immigrants are treated as equals. those are the kinds of things that democrats work on and stand for. all we need to do is make sure they know we're still doing that. >> congressman, in your case, you have such a close relationship with your voters. right? but not all of them do. you told the los angeles times that it's going to take a lot of work and require democrats to build a much stronger relationship with latinos of various backgrounds and cultures. what did you mean by that? >> well, what i mean by that is, for example, you

many more quangos, less government agencies, and then you get tony black coming in in 1997 and he professes, i'm going to change everything. things can only get better. and i feel like that's people actually felt because i knew for me growing up in the early ninety's, it was really hard. it was like quite a hostile place. you're walking to school dogs, i've been 70 people, i shout in, racist remarks. are you and then you get through to like the late ninety's and we had our own communities. and so we had a refugee day at the school and everyone would come and bring their own dish is after black with the nice that it was, it was these, it is funding going to was the different community initiatives and you can you felt and, but all of that couldn't have happened without the fire. and the anti races fights from activists throughout the year is good. but the anti racism struggle that gets us to that point where multiculturalism, it's, it's not so much celebrated, but it's, you know, it's, it's kind of understood as a de facto norm of the country. so that's this moment why kind of black comes in and the question real

likely that you'll get cross-protection to the omicron variant or what tony fauci calls spillover protection so either way nothing changes in terms of your strategy to protect you and your family. get that third immunization if you're eligible meaning you're an adult over the age of 18, and i also support giving that third immunization for the 12 to 17-year-olds. >> is there a threshold in which you would know whether or not the current vaccines are effective against this variant? >> well, we're going get think think in the next week and a half, to the next two weeks so our vaccine group, the way you do that is you take either experimental animals or individuals who have been vaccinated with your vaccine and you measure virus neutralizing antibodies against the original lineage because that's how the vaccines were made and you compare it to the neutralizing agents against the omicron variant and almost certainly you'll see a decrease. we've seen that before with the beta variant that came out of south africa, and the lamda variant. it will still cross-protect and maybe not as well and we'll get a better sense of that. if

change to the constitution. on the other side of the spectrum is the extreme fall, right? canada and tony or gas, he is an immigration, he's talked about taking a ditch along chile for that stuff. immigrants getting in. he's a supporter of the former dictator stopping oshea. he represents in many ways the, the resistance to change people pining for the past in chile. they remember with style and he has, he was, he's been a head in the opinion polls so far. it looks like the, the, these are the 2 that we'll go through to the 2nd round in december. there's a moderate left candidates, a voter of rights candidate who are also in the running with up to see what their votes go. if we go to a 2nd round, but there is a great deal uncertainty in chile, given that this is a country with huge wealth. but it is a country which has some of the worst wealth distribution anywhere in the 18 in the developed world. many of the people in this country would like to have a great to share off some of that wealth of some of that progression that truly has been made over the years. and that basically everything
