Josh Hawley Reveals What Senate Found on Fauci's Phone After Contempt Referral

[00:01] Dear diary,

[00:03] they have my phone.

[00:05] Days after his diary leaked, Ron Johnson

[00:08] got a copy of the Fauch-meister's cell.

[00:11] Every text, every email, every meme,

[00:13] every video, every voicemail, every LOL.

[00:17] This is going to be good.

[00:19] But relax, the doc says, "Autopen gave

[00:21] me the golden pardon, remember? I'm

[00:23] bulletproof."

[00:24] No. The pardon stops federal

[00:27] prosecutions. State charges aren't

[00:29] covered. So, that phone could land on

[00:32] the desk of every red state attorney

[00:34] general in the country. And it's all

[00:36] admissible.

[00:37] 17 states are already circling.

[00:40] Florida's even got a subpoena out.

[00:42] They're following the money. They say

[00:44] Fauci cashed in in, you know, book

[00:46] deals, awards, grants, while he knew his

[00:49] pandemic policies were BS.

[00:51] And now, it's official.

[00:54] >> [snorts]

[00:56] >> Rand Paul's committee voted to hold Tony

[00:57] Fauci in contempt for stonewalling the

[00:59] Senate, taking the fifth over 100 times.

[01:03] Now, once you got a pardon, the fifth

[01:05] doesn't apply. You can't incriminate

[01:07] yourself for crimes you can't be charged

[01:09] for. So, hiding behind the fifth isn't a

[01:11] right, it's obstruction.

[01:14] >> As far as pleading the fifth when you

[01:15] have a pardon, all you have to do is

[01:17] tell the truth. Just not commit a new

[01:18] crime.

[01:19] But if we were to grant him immunity

[01:21] from telling the truth, of what value,

[01:24] you know, would his testimony be? So, I

[01:26] think the American people do deserve to

[01:27] know this.

[01:29] >> What's a fully pardoned man so afraid to

[01:31] say? All Anthony had to do was tell the

[01:33] truth, but he took the fifth anyway. So,

[01:36] today, the referral went straight to the

[01:38] DOJ, DC division.

[01:41] Guess whose desk it landed on?

[01:43] The judge.

[01:45] You really think Judge Janine lets Tony

[01:47] walk?

[01:48] Even CNN's like, "Yeah, the little guy's

[01:50] cooked."

[01:51] >> This is real. I mean, the the the the

[01:53] the stakes here for Dr. Fauci could

[01:56] potentially be, depending what DOJ

[01:58] decides a criminal indictment and

[01:59] prosecution.

[02:00] >> Now the referral isn't a conviction. The

[02:02] DOJ still has to take it to a grand jury

[02:04] and get an indictment. And Democrats

[02:06] insist the fifth still protects him. Now

[02:10] if convicted, fines and up to a year in

[02:12] prison.

[02:13] But for a guy who was supposed to be

[02:15] untouchable, the walls feel like they're

[02:17] closing in.

[02:18] Because it's not just Washington

[02:20] circling now, it's everybody. The

[02:22] country's done taking Tony's word for

[02:24] it. Obviously this was never just about

[02:25] a diary or a phone. It's about a man who

[02:28] may be partly responsible for a virus

[02:31] that killed a million Americans, who

[02:33] covered that up, and who crushed the

[02:35] country with made up regulations that

[02:37] ripped up our rights and our humanity.

[02:41] Does he even care?

[02:43] Well Fauci was seen taking out the trash

[02:45] today at his two and a half million

[02:46] dollar DC home and

[02:48] he sped away with his wife. He let her

[02:50] drive and

[02:51] she took one hand off the wheel to give

[02:53] the finger

[02:54] to reporters.

[02:57] A lot of people trusted Tony and they

[02:59] got hurt.

[03:00] >> AND WE WERE TOLD, "HEY, YOU AIN'T GOING

[03:01] TO GET COVID IF YOU DO THAT." AND I GOT

[03:03] COVID. AND DAMMIT IT ALMOST KILLED ME.

[03:07] >> MISSOURI Senator Josh Hawley joins us

[03:09] now. Not a good look flipping the bird

[03:11] to the press.

[03:14] >> No, but that's basically what he did to

[03:15] the whole country right there Jesse. He

[03:17] did it last week when he showed up

[03:18] claimed the fifth 111 times. And you're

[03:21] exactly right when you have immunity. He

[03:23] already had that auto pen pardon. He has

[03:25] immunity. You can't come in and take the

[03:27] fifth. He took it so many times I

[03:28] started calling him Dr. Fifth. It is an

[03:30] absolute joke. This guy needs to be

[03:33] charged. We sent over a referral today

[03:36] to the Department of Justice. He can

[03:37] spend a year in prison for contempt of

[03:39] Congress. I hope they go after him hard.

[03:41] >> And the Senate has the phone, right?

[03:45] >> The Senate has his phone. This is the

[03:47] phone that he used for years we believe

[03:49] as the director of the NIAID which is

[03:52] the position he held during COVID. I

[03:54] understand we're in the process of

[03:55] downloading its contents right now. I

[03:58] can't wait to see what's on it, Jesse. I

[03:59] mean, we learned so much from that last

[04:01] trove of documents. We learned that he

[04:03] got all of those cash prizes, a million

[04:05] bucks for himself during COVID. That was

[04:08] illegal, by the way. I can't wait to see

[04:10] what we're going to find out from this

[04:11] phone.

[04:11] >> And the Florida AG is looking into some

[04:14] of these awards. He was grabbing cash

[04:16] awards while he was telling Florida to

[04:19] shut down and do this and that, and he

[04:21] knew these rules were BS.

[04:26] >> Yeah, and you know, here's the thing.

[04:27] The law prohibits a federal employee

[04:30] from soliciting cash prizes. It says you

[04:32] can't go use your employees to solicit

[04:34] cash prizes. You can't use your office,

[04:36] your email. Fauci was doing all of it.

[04:38] Was he even focused on COVID during

[04:41] COVID? No way. He was focused on

[04:43] himself. He was focused on getting rich.

[04:45] And Jesse, he got over a million bucks

[04:47] in cash prizes in the span of like two

[04:50] years. He's the highest-paid federal

[04:52] employee ever. His pension is worth half

[04:55] a million a year. Net worth right now,

[04:57] north of 12 million. It's a total scam.

[04:59] >> What? North of 12? And he's got a two

[05:02] and a half million-dollar home in

[05:03] Georgetown. It's not too bad for a

[05:06] government salary. Wasn't he like the

[05:08] highest-paid employee in the government?

[05:12] >> The highest-paid employee in the

[05:13] government ever. Makes more than the

[05:15] president ever did. His pension every

[05:17] single year right now, Jesse, government

[05:19] pension, is half a million dollars a

[05:22] year.

[05:22] >> Yeah, and you don't have to pay taxes on

[05:24] the pension, right?

[05:27] >> He has got a sweetheart deal. He needs

[05:29] to be prosecuted.

[05:31] >> Okay. Uh, a lot of other action

[05:33] in the White House today. It does look

[05:35] like the president is not going to take

[05:37] the Supreme Court decision on birthright

[05:39] citizenship laying down. He has a new

[05:42] executive order unleashed. Listen.

[05:45] >> The idea that people come here

[05:47] pretending to be a tourist, but the real

[05:49] reason they're here is to have a child,

[05:52] to make that child into automatic

[05:53] citizen, leave our country, and then

[05:56] have a US citizen child, it gives them

[05:58] access under this broken system to

[06:00] welfare benefits, ultimately to the

[06:02] voting booth, and all the other rights

[06:04] and privileges that belong solely to

[06:06] Americans. So, that practice of birth

[06:09] tourism is, as of the signing of this

[06:11] order, hereby banned.

[06:15] >> So, birth tourism is already illegal.

[06:18] This new executive order really just

[06:20] tightens the screws, right?

[06:23] >> It's going to put teeth into it, and I'm

[06:25] glad he's doing it, Jesse. We need to

[06:26] put a stop to this. This is not what the

[06:28] Constitution permits. This is not what

[06:30] any constitutional provision was written

[06:32] to allow, and I think the president was

[06:34] 100% right to go after this today.

[06:37] >> Because the Chinese have totally

[06:38] weaponized our Constitution against us.

[06:41] I mean, they're coming here, they're go

[06:42] to these baby mills, they come back with

[06:45] paperwork, and then their son could

[06:47] vote, he could be on the board of a

[06:48] company, steal secrets. I mean, all hell

[06:51] breaks loose at that point.

[06:54] >> And you know, Justice Thomas I thought

[06:56] made this point very powerfully in that

[06:58] Supreme Court case. He recounted the

[07:00] history, the Civil War history, the

[07:02] reconstructionary history of these

[07:04] amendments. This is not what those

[07:07] amendments were written to address, not

[07:08] even close. This is a huge abuse of our

[07:11] system. The president's right to go

[07:12] after it.

[07:13] >> Right, but the Democrats still want to

[07:14] pack the court, don't they, Senator?

[07:16] They're never satisfied.

[07:18] >> That's right. And that's

[07:20] never, ever. If you stand in their way,

[07:21] they will burn you to the ground, which

[07:23] is why we've got to defend the court,

[07:24] and we've got to stand up for the

[07:25] Constitution like the president's doing.

[07:28] >> All right. Well, big midterm elections

[07:29] around the corner, and we'll see what

[07:31] happens. Thank you so much.
