First batch of texts from Fauci's government iPhone released · DEEP INSIGHT

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Breaking right now, Republican Senators Ron Johnson and Ran Paul
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: releasing the first batch of text messages from doctor Anthony
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Fauci's government iPhone. In one exchange from January of twenty
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: twenty one, Fauci, then CDC Director Rachelle Lensky, and then
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Surgeon General Vivik Murphy discussed COVID vaccination and pregnant women.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Fauci flags a potential concern after the second dose, writing
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that many people experience quote significant cytokine storm and fever
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and that this quote theoretically could be associated with miscarriage
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in the first trimester. Welenski responds, quote, definitely a good point,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: especially after dose two. A cytokine storm is essentially when
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the body releases too many inflammatory signals that could cause
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: high fever, inflammation, and in extreme cases, life threatening illness.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So this has just coming to light now, Sandra, that
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Fauci had these concerns, And I remember when I got
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the booster, I developed pera carditis than that away, then
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: when I had the second booster, it came roaring back again.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So you know, the body reacts differently to these things
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: depending on who you.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Are, and it goes back to to the discussion we
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: were having around the hearing last week and some of
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the questions in the room how doctor Fauci wasn't actually
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: seeing or treating any of these patients to see some
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of these effects first hand, but just speaks volumes to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the severity and the importance obviously the decisions that were
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: being made in that time, and you know, obviously brings
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: up an even bigger concern that we can't get him
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to answer any questions today.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: John, Yeah, I mean one hundred and eleven times he
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: took the Fifth Amendment even though he was at no
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: risk of incriminating himself because he'd already been pardoned by
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: President Biden.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: All right, let's bring in our senior Congression correspondent, Chad Program.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: He's live on Capitol Hill with more on all of this.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: He Chad Santra and John. We're just starting to process
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: some of these text messages that was obtained by Ron
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Johnson the Republican Center from Wisconsin and Ran Paul. They
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: both serve on the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: And as you say, he appeared under subpoena at that
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: hearing last week and a couple of days later, you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: we got this note from Ron Johnson here that they
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: had obtained a copy of the cell phone that Anthony
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Fauci had used during the pandemic from HHS. So there's
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: more than thirty four thousand messages here and we're just
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: starting to fillay those right now to understand what's in
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: some of these messages. And one thing I look at here.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: You know, there's this message between Fauci and Vivicmurthy, who
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: was the Attorney Surgeon General at the time, and he says,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: for pregnant women, this is Murthy writing to Fauci here,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: for pregnant women considering getting the vaccine, are you aware
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of any data or theoretical reason why vaccinated vaccinating early
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: versus late in pregnancy would be preferred. That's a message
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: from late January of twenty twenty one. You have to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: remember go back in time here five and a half
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: years ago. That's when they were just starting to push
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: out the vaccine and people were getting this. Here's an
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: other message from just a day later. This is January
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: sixth of twenty twenty one. Again, this is Murthy writing
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to Fauci. What is the sense? As well as Tony
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: that I was surprised to see the who put out
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: a strong like saying that they do not recommend maderna
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: in pregnant women. That's a strong statement to make and
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: potentially quite damaging to public confidence among pregnant women. Now
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: we've just called Ron Johnson, who's on that committee, and
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: again this was his subcommittee which is under the Homeland
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Security and Government Affairs Committee that had Fauci before it
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: last week, and we're trying to get some information from that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be talking to Ron Johnson hopefully here
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: in about the next twenty five thirty minutes, and maybe
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: he can flesh out some of these concerns. Again, I
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: want to come back to this fundamental point here that
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the Senator is on the Republican side of the aisle.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: At that hearing about a week and a half ago,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: they were frustrated with Anthony Fauci because they had questions
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: for him about what the origins of the pandemic were,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: but also some of this information that was gleaned about
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: to the vaccine, whether or not it worked properly or
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: seeing some questions right there about particular types of vaccines.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Remember this is from Maderna, and they just wanted to
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: get to the bottom of some of this, and don't
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: forget that. They then sent a criminal referral to the
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Department of Justice on behalf of that committee, did not
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: pass it through the entire Senate, but send it down
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: to DOJ. DOJ indicated late last week that it was
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: in receipt of that. Some folks, you know, who are
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: legal eagles will argue that because they did not do
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: this by the book, did not pass this through the
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: entire Senate, that they might look askance at that at DOJ.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: And also people who are constitutional scholars would argue that,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: you know, he did in fact invoke the Fifth although
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: there's some question about whether or not, you know, since
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: he had that kind of expost facto shield offered by
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: former President Biden with the pardon there as to whether
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: or not that would apply even if they were to
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: prosecute Fauci. This will probably wind up in court for
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: quite a while as they, you know, go through that
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Fifth Amendment question in there. But these are our documents
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: and things that people are going to have a lot
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: of interest in understanding if it probably goes far beyond
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: the vaccine. These are the first things that we've seen
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: so far, Thirty four thousand messages is a lot to
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: fill at when we've only had this about twenty minutes
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: or so. We just don't know. So we will continue
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: to look at this and as we get things that
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: are newsworthy, we will bring them to you.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Hey, Chad, it's John here. I thought it was kind
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of curious that, according to the senators when they released
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: this information, Faucci had only three named contacts in his iPhone,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: but he had thousands and thousands of messages.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what they said, that sometimes these were
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: individual just telephone numbers, you know. Sometimes there are certainly
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: some people I have in my phone, for instance, which
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: is just a telephone number because I haven't bothered to
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: put in the contact. But again, you know, but I
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: also have an awful lot of contacts under names, especially
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: having been on Capitol Hill for years and years and years,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and so that is a little strange, and so we
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: don't know what that means. We don't know if that
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: was make it harder for them to divine who he's
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: talking to or who he's texting with or calling, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: whether he just didn't keep a contact list. The in
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: the way that we do now a lot of us
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: on our telephones.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: So so sorry, but so should we assume, since they
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: know that this was Rachelle Lensky and Vivic Murphy, that
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: those were two of the named contacts.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I think that that would be my divination of this
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: as I look at this at first blush because again,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: how else would you know unless they had done you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: two plus two and somebody says, we know that's Lensky's number,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: we know this is Murthy's number, or something like that.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: It appears that there might be another level of this
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: as they try to assess that if they come up
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: with interesting text messages and say, well, who was that
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: that he was talking to? Unless they know that person
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: at HHS or someplace else in government or maybe somebody
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: you know putting out information about the pandemic or writing
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: in a Nature Medicine, you know, the very controversial article
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: about proximal origins of the pandemic. That's something that they
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: have to look at.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: A lot to dig into. You here. I really appreciate
• 7:01
