But somehow there were still a lot of moments there, right? matched

It was still somewhat fiery in that hearing. matched

What happened in the room today? matched

Dr. Fauci, even in his opening statement at one point, said essentially, and I'm paraphrasing here, he believes Rand Paul is obsessed with him. matched

Yeah, he called it an unhinged obsession. matched

So let's talk about these kind of new quote-unquote diaries, right? matched

We have thousands of pages of Dr. Fauci's journal entries from his time at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. matched

How did Rand Paul get a hold of these things, and how was he allowed to actually release them to the public? matched

What is the ultimate objective for Rand Paul and Republicans from what you're hearing in addition to drilling down on the origins of COVID? matched

And by the way, what would that do at this point in time in 2026, six years later, to drill down on that? matched

There were also journal entries from Dr. Fauci at the time in which he was serving in the government during President Trump's first term in which Fauci called President Trump a, quote, unquote, true embarrassment and said he was, quote, spewing nonsense in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election. matched

He also took notes throughout the time in which the president had COVID in October of 2020. matched

What did we learn from these diary entries, these journal entries about Dr. Fauci's relationship with then Trump 1.0? matched

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there was even a moment in which Dr. Fauci wrote about the fact that the president publicly matched

was beginning to speak negatively about Dr. Fauci, but still calling Dr. Fauci for advice privately about his own health. matched

Dr. Fauci also detailed his experience with the Biden administration, including some kind of pain points as well when President Biden had COVID in 2022, just months before Dr. Fauci left the administration. matched

Take us through this moment. matched

What's next for him, considering he invoked the Fifth? matched

Monica Alba, thank you. matched

All right, we're going to take a very quick break. matched
