fauci in the senate today. senator, good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> laura: the first comment i have to make after watching this, and again, i said earlier, i have never seen anything like i have seen f fm fauci these past few years. but he was caught off mic calling one of your colleagues a moron, senator marshall. your reaction to just that. >> you know, i think he's forgotten who he works for. we work for the elected people of our state. all of them. we also work for the taxpayers but certainly he does, too. he makes $420,000 per year and yet you would think that somehow gives him the immunity to use his office to attack other scientists. i think it's really dangerous that he's gotten into his head that somehow he represents all of science, and that anybody who criticizes him prepare for the take down. prepare for fauci and others toe conspire and ruin your reputation. i think that's a terrible role model for anybody in government. >> laura: senator, dr. fauci hurled an accusation directly at you

fauci. >>> then -- >> you want to be on the side of dr. king or george wallace? you want to be on the side of john lewis or bull connor? this is the moment to decide. >> senator cory booker on the president's rousing call to protect democracy, and academy award winning filmmaker adam mccay on the untrungsal truth in his new hit, don't look up. >> you know how many the world is ending meetings we had over the last two years. >> drought, famine, so boring. >> "all in" starts right now. >> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. during this pandemic, dr. anthony fauci has become a strange point of fixation. even obsession on the right, and it's among those who see him as a kind of stand-in, a punching bag for the pointy headed public health officials who want to tell you how to live your life. even gone so far as to compare him to a dictator and a murderer. >> after two years of nonstop media adulation, tony fauci has morphed into a shorter version of benito mussolini. >> this is what peop

and back to fauci. his apocalyptic pronouncements seem to soueid not just the public but among some of his cronies as well. first came the cdc big admission that after immunity was stronger at the anti-vaccine and they were forced to admit that cloth masks work with this. we told you that almost two years ago. and almost of the most strident supporters of these mandates are begin to see the light. >> we are dealing with a less verlander strain. the expectations will get resettled a little bit. we need to look at the things that might not necessarily be contributing that most to reduce further spread in society. >> laura: joining me now is dr. peter mccullough based in dallas, texas, first of all, you are awesome at the rally over the weekend, i watched all of the video and was not able to be there. that was such an impressive show of support and clarity and it was a diverse crowd. it was awesome. i want to say that first and foremost. do you sense a shift in some of the thinking of the medical talking h

should fauci go? is a time for him to go? >> i think he has done enough damage great i think you should join francis collins in retirement. >>laura: great to see you. thank you. this is no exaggeration today joe biden gave one of those cynical in anti-american speeches u.s. president has eve delivered freight and moments w have the response. stay there. ♪ >> the battle for the soul of america is not over. we must stand strong and stand together to make sure january 6 marks not the end of democracy, but the beginning. they're endgame was to turn the world of voters into a mere suggestion. jim crow to plano is about to insidious things, voter suppression, and election subversion. the threat to our democracy is so grave that we must find a wa to pass these voting rights bill . >> that was a speech by the sam guy who promised to restore norms incivility to washington, bring unity to the country. he further divided the nation. so what was today really all about? joining me now is that conservative commentator and also with me an

fauci are awarded a nearly $9 million research grant from fauci's agency. a month after that dr. peter does zac of ecohealth alliance, the group that did the original u.s. funded experiments with the chinese at the wuhan institute of virology received a $7.5 million grant over five years from dr. fauci. president biden, a year later, tasked the u.s. intelligence community to probe the covid origins. but its august report was inconclusive due in large part to china's unwillingness to assist with the investigation. as the lab leak theory gains more scientific traction around the world, dr. collins publicly says he is at least open to that possibility. >> you thought it was not a weaponized thing from the chinese but that it may have been a lab accident. it seems more and more pointing that way. are you confident saying that? >> i don't think i have any more new information to be able to tip the balance. certainly possible that this was somehow under study in the lab even know it was not human engineered from scratch. i'm quite confident of that. >> bret: months later in his last in

fauci. they found in his car an ar-15 and multiple magazines of ammunition, because he thinks that maybe i'm killing people. so i ask myself why would a senator want to do this? so go to rand paul website and you see "fire dr. fauci" with a little box that says "contribute here." you can do $5, $10, $20, $100. you are making a catastrophic epidemic for your political gain. >> you have politically attacked your colleagues and in a politically reprehensible way. >> i'm sorry. we're going to continue this hearing. we have a number of questions. >> one more minute. >> dr. fauci, i really appreciate your response, but we do have a number of questions from senators and we do have a second round. i'm being asked to make sure everybody has their time, so thank you. >> thank you very much for allowing me. >> we will move to senator murphy. >> thank you, first of all, for what you do. you shouldn't have to put your life at risk. you shouldn't have to put your family's life at risk to simply stand up a

it explains why the schools are tracking with the doj, why fauci with the vaccine mandates, why fauci is hiding his relationship with big pharmaceutical, our first amendment rights, the january 6 people being set up by the fbi, all of this, tucker, this is the most important book i have read. this is the most important -- that i have written. this is the most important topic of my career, and i think this is the most important topic in the world today. the great reset is not a conspiracy theory. it is something that the davos people have put together along with the world economic forum and it's running rampant through every western capital and western country. i just read this. tomorrow morning at 9:30, the washington state covid detainment emergency, they are going to have a state board of health discussing from 9:30 to 3:30 tomorrow allowing health, local health officers to use law enforcement to force an emergency order in involuntarily detaining a person or group of persons' families to be isolated in a quarantine facility following the refusal to voluntarily comply with requested

fauci. maria: yeah. it was february 2020 when scientists warned fauci and collins on a call that covid-19 may have leaked from in this wuhan institute of i have rolling. >> yep. maria: then a month later in march, he signs his name, gary signs his name to a paper which states that covid-19 is not a laboratory construct or purposefully manipulated virus. we go on to look at april where collins e-mails fauci about a fox news report that says multiple sources believe covid originated at that wujan lab and asks if the nih can put down this destructive conspiracy. as you see on your screen, april 2020, saying it is a shiny object that will go away. and then in may of 2020, fauci's nih awards that $8.9 million grant money that you are referring to from the nih. connect the dots here. was he paying off people to say the narrative he wanted said, and is he protecting the ccp? >> look,ing we don't know for sure, but all i know is that fact pattern seems to suggest that very point. i mean, they say it comes from a

fauci. >> we are look at the time line right now. it was february 21 scientists warned of fauci and on a call that cove 19 may have leaked from the wuhanf institute of virology. thath, a month later in march he signs gary signs his name to a paper it c says cove 19 is not a laboratory or purposely manipulated virus. we go on to lookt at april workarounds e-mails fauci about a fox news report that says multiple sources believe covid originated at the wuhan lab and asks if the nih can help put down this very destructive conspiracy. we follow on this timeline as you see on your screen, april 2020 fauci responds saying it is a shiny object that will go away. and then in may of 2020, five she nih awards the $8.9 million grant money that you are a referring to from the nih. connect the dots here. was he paying off people to say the narrative he wanted said? and is he>> protecting? >> we do not know for sure but all we know that fact seems to suggest that m very point. they sit comes from a lab, that is where the evidence points but suddenl

fauci. he is not practicing medicine. he is a federal bureaucrat. this is really hypocritical, that he is making so much money as a bureaucrat and really putting his own arrogance, his own self-interests, his own enrichment ahead of public service. that is what is so upsetting to many about dr. fauci. he has put so many of us at risk with so many of his opinions and now you know the oversight committee actuallies it closed this week that he referred to the wuhan lab leak as a shiny object that will go away. i mean, really? a shiny object that will go away? we have millions of people across the globe who have died, over 800,000 americans? many people who are suffering under this, under this pandemic? you know this is just unexcusable for someone in a public service position that dr. fauci is in. elizabeth: critics are saying president trump was still in office he would have fired dr. fauci a long time ago. watch the exchange where dr. fauci called senator marshall a moron. >> i cannot find th

fauci. we've been digging into the nih documents from the very beginning. we were on it early on in 2020. we're finding how the nih did support dangerous supervirus research in the early 2000s, despite dr. fauci's heated denials. this problem we're finding more and more. it is deeper than realized. we're on the stick. outrage growing, 25 police officers now dead. a cop buying every day so far this year. the white house press secretary finally cites defunding the police as part of the problem. this story tonight, manhunt continues for the killer of an officer in houston. we'll bring you the very latest. bipartisan group of lawmakers, demanding speaker pelosi, congressman mccarthy schedule a vote banning members trading stocks while in office. we have more information that these conflicts are potentially worse than realized. top democrat lawmaker planning to hold hearings featureing transportation secretary pete buttigieg on railcars ransacked by thieves. border patrol cut 14 terrorist on the

fauci. and they found in his car an ar-15 and multiple magazines of ammunition, because he thinks that maybe i'm killing people. >> reporter: investigators say the man had a hit list, including former presidents clinton and obama, and said he would kill president biden if he didn't comply with his demands. as the public face of the pandemic response, fauci has become a frequent target. he's previously described a terrifying experience, opening anonymous letter delivered to his office, only to be covered in a cloud of white powder he thought might have been a deadly substance. it was later found not to be hazardous. fauci today accusing the republican senator of spreading dangerous lies for his own political gain. >> go to rand paul website, and you see "fire dr. fauci," with a little box that says, "contribute here." you can do $5, $10, $20, $100. so, you are making a catastrophic epidemic for your political gain. so, the only -- >> you have politically attacked your colleagues -- >> reporte

fauci. ms. o'connell i want to ask you about additional vaccine development. the current vaccines against covid as was indicated by dr. fauci's answer have been successful in reducing death and severity and hospital admissions but more limited success in preventing forward transmission from vaccinated individuals after breakthrough cases and existing vaccines are not as durable as vaccines in other areas so we need booster shots to continue to protect against the virus. is the administration considering supporting the development of additional vaccines that might be able to address the gaps in the current vaccine's capabilities? >> thank you so much for that question. yes, absolutely. we all see the need for next generation vaccines and anti-virals and therapeutics as well. we're in the process of working with dr. fauci's team to develop a unified nir research agenda and budget to address these issues to identify candidates that might already be in the pipeline to help support the research i

fauci. dr. fauci: i would like to spend the next few minutes talking about our plans for the future and our current activities under the development of the universal vaccine. a little bit over a month ago, my colleagues and i wrote a perspective in the journal of medicine, talking about the urgent need of a coronavirus vaccine. the reason we did this perspective was to bring to the attention of the public, the fact that in reality, over the past 20 years since 2002, we have had three coronaviruses in outbreak. and we are currently experiencing that. however, since september 2020, there have been five covid to variants of concern. alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and omicron. innovative approaches are needed to produce more durable protection against coronaviruses that are known and some that are at this point unknown. hence, the terminology, pandemic vaccine. this is somewhat of a complicated issue. this is what we call a genetic tree of the coronavirus. if you look at the center of the circle, that i

there's people that are pro fauci and against fauci. at one point you said to him you are the person that is more responsible for the deaths in this country than anyone else. you think that's fair? >> look at this way. i believe this virus originated from a lab that was from the chinese. we don't have 100% proof from that. the evidence is 90/10 that it was from the lab. he said for two years it was president gain of function. they weren't taking viruss that don't exist in nature, creating them and creating viruss that are so dangerous that they can wipe out a portion of humanity. he continues to deny that. if this came from the lab, yes he's cupable. when you ask him to investigate, he's got an interest. the virus came from mother nature. so mother nature deserves most of the blame. if it came out of a lab, then i think man has some blame. fauci would be involved in this. he says he still trusts the chinese and he's not for anymore regulations on gain of function. he think it's jolly well and good to create these viruses. if we're in ch

fauci. fellow democrats out with a new bill banning stock insider trading by lawmakers that would include nancy pelosi. scrutiny increasing on the timing of pelosi family stocks trades and legislation. emails indicating biden's education secretary was much more involved and the white house aiming the fbi and justice department at school board parents, calling them quote domestic terrorists because they're upset what schools are teaching children? we'll break it down. a top trump russia player, did work with the hillary campaign, he is charged with lie together fbi, he is now scheduled to go on trial right in the middle of the midterms. more on how special counsel durham has hillary's campaign square in his bull's-eye. republicans demanding answers, a white house official yesterday said yes, white house diverted taxpayer money meant for covid testing to the border. thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: we begin with this, trump, t

fauci on camera back in 2012. watch this. >> the nih has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the wuhan institute. >> do they fund dr. baric? >> dr. baric is not doing gain of function research. if it is, it is according to the guidelines. because the research gain of function, trans missability, et cetera on h5n1 pathogenic is minor part but a important part of our portfolio. it is part of four research projects that contain this, it is around 10% of the entire h5n1 portfolio. less than 1% of the total niaid flu research funding. questions have come up about the concern of danger of people you fund. niaid, nih, certainly cdc, only funds and conducts gain of function research on h5n1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses for researchers who are highly trained, skilled, experienced and adequately regulated. there is disagreements as to the scientific and or public health value of these experiments but i believe the people who feel that they shouldn't be conducted are in the minority becau

fauci? why is dr. fauci considering himself to be science, when science is ultimate exchange of ideas to arrive at conclusion or series of conclusionss that ultimately helps mankind? what does fauci do? pivot to accusing republicans of encouraging threats against him, sort of an odd strategy by fauci to call out rand paul when it comes to political threats. rand paul knows something about being questioned. he was attacked physically. odd way to approach it. it shows this administration under the guise of trying to help america is trying to control americans. they don't listen to anybody, they don't opt to listen to anybody. we are in the situation combating a virus biden said he was going to defeat. again, january 12th, not defeated yet. with that, as americans grapple with testing shortages, senator collins wants to know why massive amounts of covid funding were averted to another biden crisis. take a listen. >> staff investigation found 850 million dollars out of the testing budget and another $850 m

fauci. >> you are totally incorrect. >> senator marshall, dr. fauci has answered you and is public information and he's happy to give it to you if you would ask. >> what a more ran, jesus christ. >> laura: did fauci apologize for insulting a sitting member of congress? of course not. he doubled down. >> he was implying that maybe i was making investments, sort of like ahead of the game here. and he made the statement that we can't get the financial statement. it was stunning to me that a united states senator doesn't realize that my financial statement is public knowledge. it was like, where have you been? >> laura: joining me now is kansas senator roger marshall who is also an m.d. senator, you are onto something. is that why you believe he reacted the way he did? are fauci's financial disclosures complete? in your mind? >> laura, good evening. dr. fauci does protest too much. why is he so defensive about all this? he has lied to the american public again. he has lied to congress again. we

anthony fauci's hot mic moment is only adding to tension. hospitals are sounding alarm. >> situation so concerning, sonoma county, california, is banning large gatherings, urging people to stay home. >> faith has the latest on the hearing. >> good morning, got testy at times. dr. anthony fauci even heard calling a senator a moron. tense exchanges between dr. anthony fauci and republicans on capitol hill, fuelling more divisions as the government struggles to respond to the covid surge. >> you're so misinformed, it's extraordinary. >> reporter: a hot mic caught dr. anthony fauci calling roger marshall a moron after he questioned about him financial disclosures, already public information. >> there's an air of appearance that maybe shen anigans are goig on. >> what are you talking about? my financial disclosures are public knowledge and have been so. you are getting amazingly wrong information. >> our office can't find them. where would they be if -- -- --- >> it's accessible to you. >> to the public? >> to the public. >> reporter: then the ho

fauci. knows that half the country is tuned him out, but he wants to hang on just to annoy us for a little while longer how arrogant that is and how sad it is. same with this current crop of old fogies running the democrat party . they're almost staying on the spite of itat at this point. >> i don't know why i people terms you need to step asideno for me, know if you wantou my seat, come get it. >> eighty one years young clyburn and friends have nothing positive to show for these past 13 months only the wreckage they'veveth left behind but they're still hanging on now let me be clear. obviously being a senior citizen doesn't disqualify anyone from making huge positive contributions. remember benjaminit franklin was at the constitutional convention at ageco eighty one same age as clyburn. reagan left offices days before he turned seventy eight . they're both towering figures in american history. there are many more examples as well. but age is suppose to bring us maturity and wisdom not vindi

fauci. it turns out his records can be requested from the nih but they are not searchable database like everybody else. and of course, fauci isn't the only one under fire for his never-ending failures as former president trump had this to say about joe biden's broken covid promises over the weekend. remember he said i'm going to shut down the virus. yet, the highest number of cases, or deaths in 2021. great job, joey. take a look. >> and it is a very sad thing. the streets of the democrat-run cities are drenched in blood with record high murders and drug deals and human trafficking. there are four times more covert cases. remember, "i'm going to get rid of covid." four times more cases than ever before. today, the hospital set a brand-new record. >> sean: here with reaction, dr. roger marshall. turns out you were correct and it turns out that there is some interesting developments in those records. we know he was less than honest thanks to the intercept, thanks to the nih's own materials, an

fauci the opportunity to respond to that. >> dr. fauci. simina cdc guidelines make it very clear if you are exposed to an individual with -- if you're in a period of 15 minutes at a time or total of 15 minutes over a 24-hour period in a situation where you come into close tact perhaps doctors walensky could expand on that. that's the fundamental of the cdc guidelines. >> that's exactly right in terms of exposure. you should get tested if you have symptoms of covid-19 and do an at-home test and if the test is negative you should do another test or get a pcr. you should get tested within five days of your exposure or after five days of your exposure with the definition of dr. fauci mentioned in your testing other mechanisms as well so many reason to test. most importantly if you are exposed and if you have symptoms and if you are maybe seeing an immunocompetent iron -- immunocompromised person you might want to get tested. >> thank you very much for this hearing and i want to start by commending theto public servicef all of the members of th

fauci. they found in his car an ar-15 and multiple magazines of ammunition because he thinks that maybe i'm killing people. so i ask myself, why would senator want to do this? so go to rand paul website and you see "fire dr. fauci" with a little box that says, contribute here. you can do $5, $10, $20, $100. so you are making a catastrophic epidemic for your political gain. >> did you catch that this time? is he jealous? is somebody jealous of dr. fauci? that's what it sounds like. if you, like, read the intonation and the body language, right. dr. fauci continued to defend himself tonight right here on cnn. >> he's raising money for his campaign by making me the villain. he calls me a polarizing figure. well, if you call me a murderer and say i'm responsible for ridiculous, preposterous, slanderous statements, responsible for the deaths of 5 million people, doing this and doing that, it is not me that's making myself polarizing. it is him. the only thing i'm trying to do is what you look on

and you see, fire doctor fauci. with a little box that says contribute here. >> tonight, my exclusive interview with doctor anthony fauci. then. >> you want to be on the side of dr. king, or george wallace? do you want to be on the side of john lewis, or bill connor? this is the moment to decide. >> senator cory booker on the presidents rousing call to protect democracy. an academy award winning filmmaker doctor -- don't look up. >> you know how many meetings we've had over the last few years. so boring. >> when all in, starts right now. good evening from new york, i'm chris hayes. during this pandemic, doctor anthony fauci has become a fixation. even obsession on the right, and it is among those who see

fauci. >> madam chair, ranking member burr, members of the committee. thank you for giving me the opportunity to discuss with you the role of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases and the conduct and support of research addressing our nation's response to covid-19. in our most recent hearing before this committee on november the 4th i discussed the importance of booster shots to enhance immunity against the delta variant that wanes over time. indeed booster shots have dramatically reconstituted the waning immunity and has increased protection over and above the original level afforded by the primary vaccine regimen. today we are faced with a different challenge. a new variant called omicron that is rapidly spread throughout the world, including a massive unprecedented surge in the united states. this variant possesses a large number of mutations that are associated with increased efficiency of transmission, immunoevasion from certain monoclanl antibodies, convalescent pla

fauci. dr. fauci: thank you very much, jeff. what i'd like to do over the next few minutes is talk about what jeff referred to as the omicron medicine cabinet. first of all, before i get onto the therapy, i want to underscore the importance that the up to date covid-19 vaccination with boosters prevents severe disease and keeps you out of the hospital, as underscored by dr. walensky. i want to focus now on what happens if you do get sick. what are therapies to prevent you to get disease prevention? -- progression? next slide. i really want to refer people to the details what have i'll be saying over the next few minutes that can be easily found in the n.i.h. covid-19 treatment guidelines that are accessible online. very briefly, this is the state of the guidance for clinicians for the treatment of patients with covid-19 and it is a panel which includes representatives from six government agencies with 42 voting members from 10 professional medical societies, academia, and health care systems. we began it in march 24 of 2020. the

fauci. we caught him in another ally yesterday. >> laura: the science dictates this and then months or maybe a year later we find of the science, the supposedly science is collapsing on itself, as it is with cough masks and vaccines and transmission. when he appears on capitol hill as he did this week again, do you sense an arrogant man? do you sense a humble man? what's your reaction to his overall appearance? >> yeah, i think overbearing, very narcissistic, very full of himself. truly he believes that he is the science and that nobody can disagree with him. i felt so bad for dr. walensky making her rule saying that you can go back to work after five days and then dr. fauci hops on tv and says oh, but you need a test first. when i suggested yesterday that 9% of americans don't trust you, dr. fauci, every time you go on television, a person that's declined the vaccine so far just dig their heels in even more. he is hurting the team. he was having no part of that. instead what's the first thi

it turned out to be very likely true, so today the senator aske fauci about all of this, watch how fauci responds. >> those they came to you privately, did they come to you privately and say no way this came from the lab? or was the initial impression b the others involved, was the initial impression that it look very specific suspicious. >> senator, we are here at a committee to look at a virus no that has killed almost 900,000 people, and the purpose of the committee was to try to get things out how we could help to get the american public, and yo keep coming back to personal attacks on me that have absolutely no relevance to reality. >> at such a filthy little demagogue great filthy little demagogue great he doesn't answer the question, it's all about him and then he accuses rand paul of endangering his life. fauci held up a page that led, he is the highest-paid federal employee and for one of the longest-serving parity works fo us so we have a right to not want him to work for us anymore that's called democracy. but he blamed the webpage for alleged threats of violence against him. i

what fauci accused paul of doing it. a fiery hearing today. >> and a disturbing assault caught on camera. police say an elderly woman was shoved to the ground in broad daylight where it happened and why officers are now searching for the victims next. >> new tonight at 9 oakland police say they're investigating an assault of an elderly woman in chinatown. and the surveillance video here. you can see the woman walking down the street and right there, a person comes from behind shelves or to the ground seemingly unprovoked. this happened yesterday at the corner of 9th and franklin streets just outside the pacific renaissance plaza officers arrived on scene but were not able to. find the victim who was described as roughly 70 years old, ab%ut 5 feet tall. police are searching for the victim. they're also searching for the suspect who was last seen heading north on franklin street. anybody with information is asked to contact oakland police. >> in pennsylvania, a pilot crash landed a medical helicopter. everybody on board su

fauci has answered you. it is public information, and he's happy to give it to you if you would ask. senator moran? ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: and now that clip lives forever on the internet, the one place where senator marshall and his staff will never be able to find it. ( laughter ) there is some uplifting news from the world of medicine, because on friday, in a medical first, a man with terminal heart disease got a transplant of genetically modified pig heart. great news for that patient. now not only does he get a new heart, but eating bacon is now actually good for it. the patient is recovering nicely, and his new heart is functioning and already doing mot of the work. ( as doctor ) "well, i'm pleased to say the patient is doing well. the only downside... i'm afraid your father is no longer kosher." ( laughter ) the procedure was a massive scientific undertaking. for starters, to suppress the immune system and prevent rejection, doctors made 10 genetic modifications on the pig heart. amazing.

fauci is he's stuck to the natural origins theory, that's what he believes is true. i do not think he's lying, but i also still think that a lab is very likely, and i'll tell you why, this is important. because viruses don't species jump overnight. kennedy: no. >> we have natural barriers. nature helps us. back in the bird flu days i wrote books about influenza and how bird flu is not going to go from killing millions of birds to suddenly killing millions of humans, and it didn't. but then we started playing with it in the lab, didn't we? we started engineering and playing with viruses to see what their potential was, to get us therapeutics and vaccines, but it put us in a situation of definite danger. and i think that the nih believes in that kind of research to some extent, and they were funding it indirectly, and it may have ended up biting us in the butt. i'm concerned about what was going on in those labs in china, in the wuhan institute of i have rolling that we may never if know about a. i don't think that fauci's necessarily hiding something, but i do think h

fauci, with a little box that says contribute here. you can do five dollars, $10, $20, $100, so you are making a catastrophic epidemic for york political gain. >> you have politically attacked your colleagues, and in a politically reprehensible way -- >> the two have sparred before throughout the pandemic. dr. fauci was responding to rand paul's criticism of emails in which dr. fauci appeared to be criticizing the work of other scientists. >>> coming up, put your job and looking for something new? the top jobs for 2022. >>> hear from the doctors who performed the first ever picked a human heart transplant. how it could be a transformative moment for medicine. >>> all new at 6:00, a bay area city vowing to crackdown on illegal covid test sites. the investigation into a california company, and the concern over patient safety. >>> covid data across the board for practically every category is the highest they have ever been. we are far from out of the woods. >> we are currently seeing a dramatic and really breathtaking explosion of cases.

fauci or dr. rochelle walensky declare themselves to be invisible and i certainly am not but that should not mean that individuals public servants are subjected to this kind of abuse and thank you. >> thank you, senator collins a. >> ms. o'connell, i want to my previous questions to you because i do not feel frankly that i got answers. i am asking you specifically, how much money was diverted from the testing budget to deal with the surge of people including unaccompanied minors illegally this tethering border crossing and how much money was diverted to the fund is allocated for the strategic stockpile. >> thank you and again all the funds as they were appropriated to the american rescue plan or for testing contact tracing, and litigation efforts, correspondence, funds were used to unaccompanied children of the border and to mitigate the covid-19 positive basis so they would not enter the community and by covid-19 which was the use of the funds i was allowed under the testing contact tracing and m

when rand paul asked doctor fauci about that incident, fauci turned him around and said it was a personal attack when he was asked about that e-mail. that doesn't give us comfort because you have democrats willing to go after the former president for the pandemic response but the appropriate thing to do obviously is to go after china and they've been pressed hard enough on this. >> not at all and peter doocy asked about today at the white house. the possibility that we know for a fact definitively that china had massive cover-up after coronavirus breaks out. they have flights from wuhan to new york and wuhan to milan but they cut off flights from wuhan to beijing and wuhan to shanghai. why is that? we know for a fact they were trying to screen and prevent evidence from getting out. we've not been able to get into the lab or see original investigations into the coronavirus and that is a problem. kennedy: they have destroyed a lot of the samples, they granted no access and i know fauci said we can't push too hard. we actually are not pushing hard killed millions of people and prolonged a gl

senator paul followed up with fauci are met. all right, hewitt. >> came to you privately, did they come to you privately and say no way it came from a lab or was their initial infraction, doctor gary and others involved, their initial impression that it looked suspicious it came from a lab? >> we are here at a committee to look at a virus now that's killed almost 900,000 people and the purpose of the committee was to try to get things out how we can get the american public helped and you keep coming back to personal attacks on me that have no relevance to reality. kennedy: that is not a personal attack, that's a very important question. he was informed about the probability that the virus was engineered and leaked probably accidentally from the lab on china partly funded by his agency, that's not a personal attack at all, that's actually called science so what is fauci hiding? i will start with you, guy. >> fauci was about two seconds away from insisting rand paul really just wanted to date him. that was the vibe i was getting t

fauci. and they found in his car an ar-15 and multiple magazines of ammunition because he thinks that maybe i'm killing people. so i ask myself, why would someone want to do this? so go to rand paul website, and you see fire dr. fauci with a little box that says "contribute here." you can do $5, $10, $20, $100, so you are making a catastrophic epidemic for your political gain. >> unbelievable. the experience of dr. fauci. but there was more because there was this moment a hot mic moment where dr. fauci lashed out at senator roger marshall. listen carefully here. >> you see things before members of congress would see them so that there's an air of appearance that maybe shenanigans are going on. i assume -- >> that's not the case. >> what are you talking about? my financial disclosures are public knowledge and have been so. you are getting amazingly wrong information. >> so i cannot find them. our office cannot find them. where would they be public knowledge? where? >> it is totally accessible

fauci. senator paul has repeatedly attacked dr. fauci about the origins of the virus, and today it was more focused on why he says dr. fauci dismissed epidemiologists who tried to -- who disagreed with mr. fauci, and dr. fauci says rand paul is never faced in fact and he says what says has real life consequences. let's listen. >> what happens when he gets out and accuses me of things that are completely untrue is that all of a sudden that kindles the crazies out there, and i have life -- threats upon my life, harass sments of my family and my children with obscene phone calls because people are lying about me. on december 21st a person who was arrested who was on their way from sacramento to washington, d.c. at a speed stop in iowa. and the police asked him where he was going, and he was going to washington, d.c. to kill dr. fauci. and they found in his car a ar-15 and multiple magazines of ammunition because he thinks that maybe i'm killing people. you are making a catastrophic epidemic for

fauci gets eflail dr. christian anderson one of the virology just received your viewer's tax dollars. virus looked edges neergs nears, not consistent with evolutionary theory that prompts him to organize a conference call the next day. goes into full tilt covers back side mode. conference call, fauci, collins, 11 virologists on that call. that call we now have the unredacted emails resulting from that call where they say i don't know how this could happen in nature. this looks like it came from a lab. so that's the sentiment on the call. but all that changes after the phone call. in fact, the very guy who said i don't know how this doesn't -- how this could happen in nature, he then writes an article, bob gary writes an article in nature medicine publication writes an article that says it didn't come, him and four others say it didn't come from the lab. here's the interesting thing we just learned today, a few weeks after that after that publication, a few weeks later, dr. gary and dr. anderson, those two

fauci went on to show senator paul's website that says fire fauci and raising money on the side. there is a question about trying to get specifics and how we get forward as a country through this. and you know, people looking at this hearing could say this is why they hate washington. >> well, first, thanks for having me on. i watched part of the hearing and share some of hugh's thoughts about it. having been in politics and still a little bit in public life and having had my life threatened i understand the concerns of dr. fauci has. but having never been shot like representative scalise, there is certainly a gap. that being said, public health experts have become today's politicians. i remember a time when you used to go a doctor and if the doctor prescribed you and gave you a diagnosis and prescribed you medicine, you believed him or her. we have reached a point now where we are assigning political labels to the kind of public health advice we get from public health experts. if relike them they are probably generally in our party. if we don't like them they are generally advis
