Fauci, I inherited Fauci. He was here from the 1980s, so I had him for a period of time. And I disagreed with him on a lot. I would have had to close down the whole country if I listened to him. I went the federalist way, which is basically let the governors decide. And generally speaking, the Republican governors did very well. The Democrat governors did not very well. But Fauci wanted to have nobody wearing masks, if you remember. And then everybody had to wear five masks, as many masks as you could get. And it's made a lot of mistakes.

You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. Good Thursday morning. It's so nice to have you on the 47 Morning Update.

What happened when Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared before the Senate hearing?

Ben Ferguson 0:42
And we've got two big stories for you. First up, Anthony Fauci. Yeah, he showed up in Congress yesterday. And let's just say it didn't go very well. We break down exactly what he had to say. And... The second part of the story is the response. Americans furious. Members of Congress livid. And lawyers for Anthony Fauci literally being kicked out of the room. So what happens next? We break it all down for you. Now, before we get to that, I want to ask you to join me in praying for the people that are in need right now in Israel. There are so many needs in Israel, and they are still dealing with the attacks from terrorists. And that is where I want you to join me and go right now to find out who you can help pray for by going to PrayIFCJ.org.
Ben Ferguson 1:32
As Christians, we're called to stand with God's people and pray for those defending Israel and protecting the freedoms we hold dear. And you have an important role that you can play right now. And that is understanding that even as the headlines move on, the heartache and the terror, they do not. Iran and its terrorist proxies are continuing to target the people in Israel. Hezbollah is continuing its attacks in the north, forcing families to live under constant threat. But Israel is not only defending her people, she is standing on the front lines against terror that threatens us all. And that is why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is standing firm and standing with the people every day.
Ben Ferguson 2:13
They're on the ground providing life-saving aid. Near Israel's border with Lebanon, a Hezbollah drone recently struck the home of Yelena. She was widowed earlier this year and living alone. Not only was she trapped inside by the blast, but she also said this after she was rescued. It's hard these days. I don't want to leave. And why should she have to leave her home? And that is why I'm asking you to pray for peace and for Jerusalem and for the soldiers and the families and the civilians that are carrying this burden right now. Go to PrayIFCJ.org to get involved. That's PrayIFCJ.org. It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts right now. Story number one. Well, if you missed it, it was fireworks on Capitol Hill, and it had nothing to do with the 250th anniversary celebrating the United States of America.
Ben Ferguson 3:05
This time, it was one of the most controversial public officials—and I say that in air quotes— Of this country's history in my lifetime, the man in charge of the COVID error, Dr. Anthony Fauci was forced to return and face lawmakers for the countless lies he's now being accused of telling. And within moments, the hearing turned into political theater, unlike anything we've actually seen in Washington in years, and that's saying something. Anthony Fauci read a simple opening statement, not just for this country, but also for the world to see. And think about how different this statement is than the man that was obsessed with his image, obsessed with being famous, obsessed with telling you what you could and couldn't do for years.
Ben Ferguson 3:57
During COVID, a man that obsessed with locking down the country, a man that said if you got the vaccine, you had nothing to worry about. A man that said we were going to quarantine to stop the spread in two weeks. A man that said you must wear a mask. A man that said you couldn't go to the hospital to say goodbye to your loved ones who were dying.
