• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Why did doctor Anthony Fauci invoke the Fifth Amendment for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the first time in his career.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: On the Advisive Council. I respectfully declined to answer based
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: upon my rights on the Fifth Amendum of the Constitution.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And what is Nolan Well's family hoping to learn from
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: his TikTok and social media accounts. We want to evaluate
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: every aspect to be able to give Christie and aylmore answers.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And there's a promising update in the condition of Eric
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Binname's wife after prosecutors say she was shot by the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: couple's own son.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Mia a Stable which is applause.

  Speaker 1: It's Thursday, July thirtieth from the Black Effects Podcast Network. I'
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Mimi Brown. This is front page and here are the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: day's biggest stories. Stay with me. During a Senate hearing Wednesday,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Infectious Diseases invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: more than one hundred times. The hearing was called by
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Senator Ran Paul after months of back and forth over
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Fauci's testimony. Earlier this week, Paul also released more than
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: eleven hundred pages he said are Fauci's personal government diary
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: entries from the pandemic. In his opening statement, Fauci says
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Senator ran Paul's repeated calls to prosecute him left him
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: with no choice but to invoke the Fifth.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: The only conclusion I can reach is that the sole
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: reason he is calling me before this committee is to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: repeated public pledges that I end up in his words,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: quote behind bars, I will invoke my right under the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Even though President Biden granted Fauci a preemptive federal pardon
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: before leaving office, legal experts say that pardon does not
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: protect him if he lies under oath. It would also
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: not apply to potential state charges. The hearing grew even
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: more tense when Capitol police escorted Fauci's attorney from the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: room after Senator ran Paul accused him of interrupting the proceedings.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: In fact, the attorney was told not to sit at
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: the table, and he's not obeying that recommendation. There's a
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: row behind you, sir, that's where you were told to sit,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: and you're not. And now you're disrupting the proceedings, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: so look, this is the way Anthony Fauci wants to
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: be remembered. For a lawyer not listening to the rules,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: that's the way you want to be remembered, and that's
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: where you're going to do. You are not recognized, Sir
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: of Security, Please removing from the room.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Here's some other moments from the hearing.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Clearly, what you think today is that somehow you're above reproach,
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: somehow you feel like you don't need to be treated
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: like a normal American. Can you do me a favor
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: in the audience and stand up. If during the time
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: of the COVID pandemic you were called a racist for
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: calling the virus a Wuhan virus or the China virus.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: If you thought the sixth foot role was total prep,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: if you thought the vaccine wasn't something that you should take.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: If you thought it was outrageous the way the mass
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: policy was rolled out, if you were fired from your
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: job for not taking that vaccine, including members of the military.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: If you thought closing schools was catastrophically stupid, and you
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: thought that during these times, saying these things made you
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: somehow a lesser human being, Doctor Frederick, you just turn
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: around and look at the people behind you. You're not
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: willing to do that. All you have to do is
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: look up from your lawyers. You can't even look at them.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: That's a question. Are you able to look at them?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Democrats defendant Fauci, arguing the hearing unfairly targeted a long
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: time public servant and could discourage future scientists from entering government.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Senator Ran Paul says he is considering additional action following
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Fauci's refusal to answer questions and an update in the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: death of Nolan Xavier Wells. His mother, Christine Wells Wansley,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: is asking a court for permission to subpoena Nolan's social
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: media accounts, including Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, and TikTok,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: as well as Snapchat. According to court filings first reported
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: by TMZ, the family wants the companies to turn over
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: records connected to Nolan's accounts. The filings don't say exactly
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: what information they're looking for. The request comes just one
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: day after newly in Hand's audio from a July fourth
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: call to Cato raised additional questions about the timeline, leading
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to Nolan's disappearance. The family's legal efforts continue as they
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: push for answers about what happened during Nolan's final hours.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: We will continue to follow every development in this case,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and there's some encouraging news today for the family of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric beIN to Me Chiefs
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: head coach Andy Reid says, being a Me's wife, Mia
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: has been moved out of intensive care and is continuing
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to recover after she was shot over the weekend inside
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the family's Virginia home.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: This is our hearts go out to Eric Banman his family.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Thoughts and prayers are with them. I can't get into
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: details on it, but things happen sometimes, and Eric will
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: work through. He's got a great support group here, as
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: was his family as needed, and then we'll just let
