Fauci Advisor Pleads Guilty to Hiding COVID Records
from The Lion Week in Review · host The Herzog Foundation
Michaela Estruth joins Josh Mann to unpack several major stories from the week. The lead discussion centers on David Morens, a top former advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded guilty to defrauding the United States by moving official COVID-related emails—including discussions of the lab-leak hypothesis—to a private Gmail account to evade FOIA requests. The correspondence also shows efforts to keep sensitive material off federal systems and even celebrate the concealment. Additional coverage includes new FBI data showing a 9.3 percent drop in violent crime from 2024 to 2025—the largest year-to-year decline in nine decades—with murders falling to levels not seen since the mid-1950s. The conversation then turns to stalled tariff negotiations with Canada, a New Jersey school district’s ban on adult volunteers with Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a Liberty University student’s scholarship case potentially headed to the Supreme Court, fabricated political polls that were treated as legitimate, and the ongoing Meta lawsuit alleging the company prioritized profits over the safety of young users.Chapters:00:00:00 – Introduction00:00:32 – Morens Guilty Plea00:02:27 – Private Gmail Strategy00:04:52 – Censorship and Celebration00:06:15 – Violent Crime Decline00:09:47 – Canada Tariff Threat00:12:46 – FCA Religious Discrimination00:17:24 – Scholarship Case to SCOTUS00:20:16 – Fake Political Polls00:26:01 – Meta Youth Harm LawsuitFollow Heartlander News on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.
