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

It was like a tiny village. voice-verified

But they were so paranoid. voice-verified

This is in the 70s and 80s. voice-verified

They were so paranoid that the U.S. voice-verified

government was spying on them from space that they disguised the institute to be a mental institution. voice-verified

They even went so far as to hire actors who would wear pajamas and stand out there, sometimes in the snow, and play volleyball. voice-verified

I mean, that is a dark question, and we don't know that. voice-verified

I mean, it was the totalitarian countries. voice-verified

They did have this idea that they were the fortress on the hill. voice-verified

You absolutely have to. voice-verified

I mean, that's one of the things I write in the end of the book. voice-verified

you know, in the acknowledgements, I say the point is not necessarily panic, it's pressure. voice-verified
