Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
Hey, everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Wednesday and an explosive day on Capitol Hill. Dr. Anthony Fauci finally forced to field questions about his handling of the COVID pandemic. So what did he say? Well, here's how it started in the Senate Homeland Security Committee. Watch this.
Given Senator Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, behind bars, unquote. Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, Under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.
Thank you.
That's right. Dr. Fauci, who's been given a full presidential pardon, pleaded the fifth on the grounds that he does not want to incriminate himself, refusing to answer any, and we do mean any, questions. It happened over and over and over.
Can you explain to the committee why you chose to fund this dangerous research in China? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. Were the scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology capable of inserting a furin cleavage site into a coronavirus? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. Did you fund gain-of-function research in other biolabs around the world? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Do you think that the risks really are worth the benefits for gain-of-function research?
On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
Why did Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoke the Fifth at the Senate hearing?
Dr. Fauci, would you like to at least answer this one question for us today and let us know whether or not you've changed your mind on whether or not the benefits of gain-of-function research outweigh the risks? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
So he was just as forthcoming before the committee as he was when he was running our COVID response. which we now know from his personal diaries involved multiple lies and obfuscation. I mean, it was like, we'll get into this in a second. If you're going to assert the Fifth Amendment, you typically assert the Fifth Amendment on anything because you don't want to be tricked into waiving your rights. You know, don't want it to be like a landmine into getting you to say something about, whoops, oh, I started the pandemic. But this guy took this to laughable lengths. Watch.
In the red folder on your table is a copy of Section 192 of Title II of the U.S. Code. Your counsel has been provided a copy as well. That section makes it a crime for a witness appearing under subpoena to refuse to answer any questions pertinent to the question under inquiry. Do you have that in front of you? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. Let the record record that the witness has refused to answer whether there's a folder in front of him based on his Fifth Amendment right.
I mean, you could hear the audible laughter and the frustration from Republican senators there who were seeking to be the voice of their voters looking for any tiny modicum of responsibility to be taken by this man. This is the man by his own admission who got the schools closed across the country and specifically patted himself on the back for doing it in New York and L.A., two of our biggest cities.
