The Crew Opens The Hour Still Furious Over Fauci

We stay on Fauci and the lasting anger over shutdowns, mandates, missed funerals, lost jobs and medical decisions made during the pandemic. Rand Paul says the committee may refer contempt findings directly to the Justice Department, while the crew examines whether a broad pardon changes Fauci’s Fifth Amendment rights. Frank from South Philly calls with an invitation to a gravy-making gathering, compares Fauci’s repeated Fifth Amendment responses with Donald Trump’s past testimony and raises the possibility of action outside the United States. Comments from Ron DeSantis bring Florida’s state investigation into the discussion, along with civil liability, Fauci’s prize money and questions about the lab-leak debate. Bernie Moreno delivers the hour’s fiercest clip, demanding apologies for military members, business owners, parents and families before Fauci declines each request. We agree that Moreno voices the anger many people still carry, but we split on whether the exchange produces evidence, changes minds or mainly supplies campaign footage.
