Doctor Fauci recently sat before
0:02
Congress in a closed door hearing, So
0:05
what was said during that hearing. We're
0:07
going to talk to Senator ran Paul
0:09
about it. He has called out doctor Fauci
0:11
and his lies in his book Deception,
0:14
the Great COVID cover Up. So we're going to get his
0:16
take on what was reported from
0:18
that hearing about the lies that doctor
0:20
Fauci told then and before.
0:23
And also what's the impact of
0:25
everything that happened during COVID, particularly
0:27
as we face a thirty four trillion dollar debt.
0:29
How does that debt impact you? I'm going to
0:31
ask Senator ran Paul. Also,
0:34
he made an anti Nikki Haley endorsement.
0:36
You're not going to want to miss this interview with the Great
0:39
Senator Ram Paul, trust me, stay tuned.
0:46
Senator. It's always great to have you on the show.
0:49
I know you're a busy guy, so I always appreciate you
0:51
making the time.
0:51
Ye thanks for having me.
0:52
So I've got to get you on this. I mean, well, you wrote the
0:54
book on the lies we were told during COVID Deception,
0:57
the Great COVID cover Up. But doctor
1:00
Fauci recently sat with Congress
1:02
behind closed doors for fourteen hours,
1:05
and some alarming things were reported,
1:07
you know, one social distancing, which
1:09
we always knew was a first, but it
1:11
admitted that it was it wasn't scientific,
1:14
And then also admitted, even though he attacked
1:17
the people who said COVID came from the lab,
1:19
now he's saying that it's not a conspiracy to
1:21
have thought that. So, I mean, what are your
1:23
big takeaways from all of this, and
1:25
what are the depths in which Fauci lied
1:28
to us?
1:28
You know, and virtually every major topic
1:30
of the COVID pandemic, he's been on both
1:32
sides of the issue. In private, he's
1:34
often been honest. In public, he's almost always
1:37
lied, you know. Ask early
1:39
on by a coworker whether or not the mask
1:41
work, he honestly responded in private
1:44
that the pores in the mask were too large and
1:46
that really wasn't worthwhile, and that studies
1:48
that indicated it wasn't worthwhile. In
1:51
public, he wears three masks, you
1:53
know. In private, he
1:55
acknowledged and actually in the past has
1:58
acknowledged that natural immunity tends
2:01
to work. If you've had the flu, you don't need a flu shot.
2:03
He said in two thousand and four, famously
2:05
on c SPAN, but then he became uncertain
2:07
with COVID. He says, oh, we don't know if natural
2:10
immunity is going to work on
2:12
schools. He was for the lockdowns
2:15
till he was against them, till he was four, until
2:17
he was against him. So he just depended on
2:19
the audience he was for. But what was remarkable
2:22
about his testimony was that he
2:25
couldn't recall over one hundred times. You know,
2:27
he was smart enough to tell us what
2:29
to do and to mandate all these things about
2:31
our behavior, but a hundred
2:34
times he couldn't recall when
2:36
asked questions about these things or how they
2:38
came about. You're right on the social
2:40
distancing on standing six feet apart.
2:43
I mean these ridiculous thing. I
2:45
remember going to my son's university
2:48
and outside in the grassy quad
2:50
of the university, they had circles
2:53
and you were supposed to stand in the circle six
2:55
feet away from someone outside and talk to
2:57
them. The plexiglass of
3:00
these things were based on science, and yet
3:02
every day we were berated by CNN
3:04
and the left, Oh, obey the
3:06
science. The right doesn't want to obey the science.
3:09
The science was all concocted and basically
3:12
just opinions of people on the left
3:14
so they could do something they wanted to do something,
3:17
But in reality, none of the things they made us
3:19
do had any effect on the.
3:21
Virus well, and they knew that. So
3:23
it's more sinister in the fact that,
3:26
you know, obviously he was pushing things that he knew
3:29
were not true. So the question
3:31
is why why did they
3:33
do that?
3:34
You know, I think there's an impulse
3:36
to authoritarianism in many of these people.
3:38
They go into the field to work in
3:40
public health, to work in the government, and
3:42
they have a not a great respect
3:46
for individual liberty or civil liberty. These
3:48
are the people who believe in mandates. You
3:50
know, they've believed in mandates for a long time.
3:52
For vaccines, they have no problem telling people.
3:55
But for the first time, a
3:57
large portion of the public, not just a few
4:00
people, had doubts about the vaccines. It
4:02
became large and widespread that people
4:04
were looking into one, do you really
4:06
need to take them? And then two in
4:09
certain age groups, particularly young people, are the
4:11
risks of the vaccine actually greater than
4:13
the risks of the disease? And then people
4:15
started asking, well, what is the evidence?
4:18
I asked faluci in one of our committee
4:20
hearings. Your government
4:22
now says we should take three vaccines
4:24
all the way down to the age of six months, you
4:27
know, toddlers. And I said,
4:29
is there any proof that the vaccines reduced
4:31
transmission? No? I said,
4:33
for children, is there any proof that
4:35
they reduce hospitalization or death? And he
4:37
says, oh, we don't have the data. Well, they do
4:40
have the data. Almost no children,
4:42
particularly healthy children, were going to the hospital
4:44
or dying from COVID. So it's hard to get
4:46
below zero. If it's already a zero
4:49
effect from COVID, it's hard to go below
4:51
that. In fact, when they approved the
4:53
vaccine the Booster, the
4:55
science committee at the CDC and the FDA
4:58
initially voted only to give to those
5:00
that's sixty five and older. Then
5:03
Wilenski, Rochelle Wilenski,
5:05
the Bidy administration, came along said oh, no, we
5:08
won't apply to all kids. But she overruled
5:10
the scientific committees. But they could
5:12
never prove efficacy. So they
5:14
said, well, if you give a shot to your
5:17
toddler, to your adolescent, they'll
5:19
make antibodies. That's
5:21
not proof of efficacy, that's not proof of anything.
5:24
That's just proof that if you give some foreign protein
5:26
or have a protein created, your body will react
5:28
to it. That's right, that's an immune response,
5:30
but doesn't mean you need it. I mean if
5:33
the response, if the answer
5:35
were that you should take a vaccine
5:37
as long as you get an antibody response, we could
5:39
give you one hundred vaccines. I can give you a vaccine
5:41
every day and you'll make an antibody response.
5:44
Doesn't mean you need a vaccine every day. But
5:46
yeah, it's criminal, you know, really in
5:48
some ways literally criminal. But in
5:51
every which way his judgment and
5:53
his conclusions were wrong.
5:56
We're not based in science.
5:57
Yeah, I mean, I remember the CDC was looking at
6:00
at an outbreak I think it was in July
6:02
of twenty twenty one, I believe, where seventy
6:04
five percent of the cases were vaccinated
6:07
people. Yet Biden went on to
6:09
push the vaccine mandate after that, knowing
6:11
that you know, it wasn't stopping the spread.
6:14
But you know, I wanted to get you on you know, part of
6:17
what we're you know, the impact of
6:19
all of that is what it's done to the economy,
6:22
and including this thirty four trillion dollars
6:24
of debt we're facing, you know, as Congress continues
6:26
to deal with funding bills in the aftermath
6:29
of all of that, How does that debt
6:31
impact Americans?
6:32
Well, you know, the debt is sold to the Federal Reserve,
6:35
and does the Federal Reserve have any assets
6:37
to buy it? No, the Federal Reserve just has a printing press.
6:40
So the Federal Reserve creates new money. So
6:42
whenever we have a Congress spending more
6:44
money than it takes in, the debt
6:47
through the Treasury bills is sold to
6:49
the Federal Reserve and they buy it. But they buy
6:51
it by increasing the money supply, and
6:53
as the increased money supply circulates
6:55
out the economy, it eventually devalues.
6:58
So let's say, for example, you double the amount
7:00
of money in circulation, it'll be worth
7:03
half as much approximately, So
7:05
inflation, home prices, mortgages,
7:08
interests, all these things
7:10
were effect of deficit spending. And
7:13
we criticize the Fed lot my father has
7:15
I have. I'd like to audit them, but really,
7:18
Congress is ultimately the culprit
7:20
here. If Congress weren't weren't running a debt,
7:22
the Fed wouldn't have to finance a debt. But
7:24
basically, the deficit leads
7:26
to high prices and inflation, and really
7:28
both parties are responsible. I mean, you'll
7:31
remember the lockdowns began in the last
7:33
administration, and the six
7:35
trillion dollars of debt that piled
7:38
up in about a year and a half during that were
7:40
started in the previous administration. Now the Biden
7:43
administration has continued that, but there
7:45
really is enough blame to go around for both parties
7:47
in the debt and in inflation.
7:49
You know, I interviewed your dad not too long ago,
7:51
and I asked him, you know, how does it feel to have been
7:54
right about so many things? You know? And he
7:56
was kind of like, well, not good because a lot
7:58
of what I was predicting was bad. But you know, it's always
8:00
good to have people affirm what
8:02
you were saying was correct. So
8:04
you made an anti Nikki Haley endorsement,
8:07
which I endorse as well. Any
8:10
chance you want to make some news on the truth
8:12
with Lisa Booth with an official candidate endorsement.
8:15
You know, I'm I'm fully and completely
8:18
not behind Nicky Haley. I'm
8:20
never Nikki and that's gonna last as
8:22
long as I can imagine she's in the race. But
8:25
I haven't made a decision on the others I
8:28
like Donald Trump. I've been a personal friend. I
8:30
defended him against the impeachments.
8:33
But I'm troubled some by his attacks on
8:36
DeSantis over entitlements. I
8:38
don't think you're a serious person and seriously
8:40
considering the danger of the debt if
8:43
you're not willing to look at entitlements. I don't think
8:45
we should attack fellow Republicans who have been brave.
8:47
This is it takes some bravery and
8:49
courage to actually stand up and say the entitlement
8:51
programs are a problem
8:54
of the spending that comes in or the spending
8:56
that goes out. Two thirds of the spending
8:58
is entitlements. One third
9:00
that we actually vote on is military and non
9:02
military. They call it discretionary spending.
9:04
That's what's part of the budget we vote on. It's about
9:07
one point seven one point six trillion
9:09
dollars. That's also the debt, the
9:11
deficit each year. So since you what we're
9:13
voting on, it's all borrowed, and
9:16
it's because of the explosion of growth and entitlements,
9:18
but also the explosion of growth in the
9:20
discretionary spending. So I'm one
9:23
who thinks that we need and
9:25
that the biggest danger we face really is
9:27
not foreign enemies, but it's our domestic
9:30
policy and our domestic debt. And
9:32
that's why I've kind of stayed out of the presidential race.
9:34
But I do think Nikki Haley will get us involved in
9:36
more war. I think she's more concerned
9:39
with the Ukraine border than she is with the Southern
9:41
border. So I'm definitely never
9:43
Nikki, and I'd decided I couldn't hold myself
9:45
back. I wanted to have some impact,
9:47
if at all, to make sure she doesn't win New Hampshire.
9:49
And so that's kind of where I am right now
9:51
and probably will remain there for the next week
9:54
or so.
9:54
Yeah, I just feel like she's a finger to the win
9:56
politician. You know, what do I need to say
9:59
today versus is you know, really believing
10:01
in anything? What do you hope Republicans
10:03
communicate? What do you think the messages
10:05
should be to reach voters and to win?
10:07
You know, I think right now we're
10:09
doing pretty well. Actually, I mean, even with all
10:12
of the indictments and everything, I think the Democrats
10:15
have so overreached on this idea of
10:17
keeping Trump from the ballot that they've
10:19
made themselves look ridiculous. I Mean, they're all
10:21
over CNN every day crying
10:24
democracy, democracy,
10:26
Trump will destroyed democracy. The only
10:29
way we can save democracy is by,
10:31
oh, not allowing people to democratically
10:34
vote for their choice if they want to vote for Trump.
10:36
I mean, it's insane, and I think most
10:38
people think it is. And I think even the independence
10:41
that sway our elections are looking at
10:43
that and saying banning somebody from
10:45
the ballot that's not democratic. So
10:47
I think they've overreached. And all of the polls.
10:50
Look, Michigan had a polldo they had Trump up
10:52
eight points in Michigan. That's a state.
10:54
If he wins Michigan, probably we can
10:56
win again. So, you know, we'll
10:58
see what happens with this. But you
11:01
know, I think the Democrats have overreached. And right
11:03
now Biden's quite unpopular.
11:06
His policies are quite unpopular, and
11:08
frankly, his frailness and
11:10
inability to sort of put a sentence together
11:12
or stay awake through most of the
11:15
activities that he's doing is a problem for
11:17
them.
11:18
Yeah, it's like the weekend at Bernie's campaign
11:20
and President. You know, Senator
11:23
Rand Paul always love having you, truly
11:25
appreciate your time. You're a busy man, so We appreciate
11:27
you giving our time and my audience as well.

11:38
was Senator rand Paul. Appreciate him
11:40
