Anthony, it remind us how is it that the Senate is able to be showing us what he wrote in his own personal diary and text messages he was sending from back during the pandemic?

And the Senate committee are targeting Anthony Fauci, not so much over the vaccine, but in fact they're trying to establish that he knew what the origins of COVID were, and that they came from a Chinese lab, not from a a wet market, that he knew that and that he was covering that up, or even actually that he in some ways um funded the research that led to the creation of um the COVID virus in the first place.
voice-verified
They've not yet managed to establish that, not least because
voice-verified
Anthony Fauci wouldn't answer any of their questions.
voice-verified
What are the politics, Anthony, behind dragging him up in front of the Senate now so many years later?
voice-verified
What are they trying to achieve?
voice-verified
And we were saying that it's not necessarily good politics to be expressing this kind of vaccine skepticism that Pauling suggests that that's not that popular.
voice-verified
Is reminding people of COVID and of things they didn't like about that that, like schools being shut down, workplaces, some of the government decisions, not necessarily made by Anthony Fauci, but the way in which um government handled the COVID pandemic in America, reminding them about that, is that better politics, do you think?
voice-verified
Well, and we know that politicians particularly in the United States can get stuck in that kind of algorithm and think that what's being discussed online is what's really motivating voters and it's not long now at all until they'll go to the polls and tell us uh yeah, whether uh whether rage bait um on social media or the fact that uh that it costs more to fill up their car every time they go to the gas station is what matters more to them.
voice-verified
But uh there'll be plenty more of that to come, but for now we should probably leave it there and just say bye bye.
voice-verified
Bye all.
voice-verified
Bye.

So he's using a different authority to do this because after the Supreme Court struck down the executive order he had signed trying to end all birthright citizenship,
voice-verified
He's now looking at different laws to find a different way to achieve the same result and hope that this would be judged to be constitutional.
voice-verified
So there's two things he's trying to do, which is to expand the definition of people in America for whom giving birth here doesn't count towards birthright citizenship.
voice-verified
So that's already the case for Americans.
voice-verified
people on certain kinds of visas or diplomats, for instance, if you're working in an embassy here and you're a foreign citizen, your child doesn't automatically get citizenship for being born here.
voice-verified
The bigger one is banning what he calls birthright tourism, the practice of apparently pregnant women travelling to the United States with the specific intention of giving birth on US soil and therefore achieving US citizenship for their children.
voice-verified
Now, they claimed...
voice-verified
that hundreds of thousands of women are doing this every year and that, in fact, there's an entire industry around it with Chinese people and businesses there and bringing Chinese people to give birth in the West Coast, that there's a hub of Russian-based businesses bringing Russian women to the United States to give birth.
