The Glenn Beck Program · Fauci Pleads the 5th to Sen. Paul: What Is He Afraid Of? | Guest: Annie Jacobsen | 7/29/26 · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

Because in your intro, I cannot forget this, in your intro, you mentioned Ken Alaback. voice-verified

And he was one of the Soviet defectors. voice-verified

And there were a number of them. voice-verified

And I interviewed their CIA handlers for the book and learned a lot more. voice-verified

And I interviewed one of the world's experts on plague. voice-verified

at USAMRID, at the DOD's BSL-4 lab, who told me what Alibek was really doing and his team in the Cold War, in the Soviet bioweapons program. voice-verified

Never reported before. voice-verified

They were inserting, through gain of function, genetic modification, they were inserting the gene, this is what you're referring to, the traveler on the plane. voice-verified

the gene for euphoria. voice-verified

And so you may say to yourself, well, what on earth would that be for? voice-verified

What would it do? voice-verified

Think about it. voice-verified

If you're really sick, voice-verified

You go home and get under the covers and you don't infect anyone. voice-verified

But the Soviet sort of malevolent scientists thought if we inject euphoria into the pathogen, people will go out and socialize. voice-verified

They may even go to the disco and they will infect other people. voice-verified

That's a crazy detail that came. voice-verified

I got access to the journals of the originator of the super plague weapon program in Russia, a guy called Igor Domorodsky. voice-verified

And, you know, I love you comb through all this information and you find something that just kind of sums up the situation. voice-verified

And that was that they had a facility where they were working on plague south of Moscow in a town called Oblensk. voice-verified
