We’ve found that Anthony Fauci was destroying records, which is a crime. He testified in front of Congress and said he wasn’t destroying records, which is also a crime. I’ve asked Dr. Fauci to come and testify about this issue. If he doesn’t come voluntarily, we will subpoena him.

"Senator: 'We discovered is that Anthony Fauci was destroying federal records. He was encouraging other people to destroy federal records. That is a crime.' He testified to the house a year ago and said he wasn't doing that. 'That's a crime to perjure himself.' 'We will bring him back. I've asked him to come and testify this fall. If he doesn't come voluntarily, we will subpoena him.' 'The question is, is he immune because of the pardon? I think that that needs to be challenged in court.' 'I have encouraged the Trump administration that they should prosecute this case and challenge the auto pen. I don't think the auto pen is sufficient.' 'There were so many pardons that I'm not sure Biden was aware of all the people he did pardon.' 'There is not a direct link from the person running the auto pen to the president. The person that was running the auto pen never spoke with the president.' 'And I think a president's signature on something so as important as legislation or a pardon is absolutely required.'" "Susan Monarez will testify before the senate HELP committee tomorrow. This will be her first appearance since being ousted from the role. She will be joined by Deb Aury, a former chief medical officer and deputy director who was one of four CDC officials who resigned after Monarez was ousted." "The chair with the president of Moderna ... I asked him about the expectation that he'll be getting a lot less revenue from the vaccine for COVID perhaps this time around. The scientific evidence shows that the risks of taking the COVID vaccine for children exceeds the benefits, and the scientific evidence is abundant on this. There's a study out of Israel that showed that about six to eight kids 20 that are healthy will get an inflammation of the heart that is very dangerous, and that risk exceeds the benefits of a vaccine. Every kid at six months needs to get a COVID vaccination, and that defies the scientific evidence and shows me that she's not objective. It's the same with the hepatitis B vaccine. Unless the mom has hepatitis B vaccine, disease, there is no indication for the vaccine at birth, and we need to readdress that."

Speaker 0: Let me get your take on on Anthony Fauci. You've done so much work on the COVID disaster, senator, and I wanna get your take on whether or not the pardon of Anthony Fauci is legitimate given the fact that now we know that Biden may not have even known what was going on, and the pardon was was written by an auto pen. Speaker 1: Yeah. We tried for four years to get records from the Biden administration. They resisted us. Finally, the Trump administration came in and secretary Kennedy, and they have given us a lot of information now. And what we've discovered is that Anthony Fauci was destroying federal records. He was encouraging other people to destroy federal records. That is a crime. He testified to the house a year ago and said he wasn't doing that. That's a crime to perjure himself. And so we will bring him back. I've asked him to come and testify this fall. If he doesn't come voluntarily, we will subpoena him. The question is, is he immune because of the pardon? I think that that needs to be challenged in court. I have encouraged the Trump administration that they should prosecute this case and challenge the auto pen. I don't think the auto pen is sufficient. I also think there were so many pardons that I'm not sure Biden was aware of all the people he did pardon. There's also not a direct link from the person running the auto pen to the president. The person that was running the auto pen never spoke with the president. So I wonder about really the line of communication whether these are valid. When Obama did this with legislation, he said, I'll be back in a few days, and I'll sign it to make sure it's legitimate. And I think a president's signature on something so as important as legislation or a pardon is absolutely required. Speaker 0: Unbelievable. Senator, thanks for your work on that. Former CDC director Susan Monarez will testify before the senate help committee tomorrow. This will be her first appearance since being ousted from the role. She will be joined by Deb Aury, a former chief medical officer and deputy director who was one of four CDC officials who resigned after Monarez was ousted. I wanna get your take on what to expect there. But I also wanna hear your thoughts as we approach a new season for what? COVID nineteen boosters and and influenza boosters. We just spoke with the chair with the president of Moderna. And I asked him about the expectation that he'll be getting a lot less revenue from the vaccine for COVID perhaps this time around. Watch this. Well, look, doctor Hogg, we know that your company needs revenue from your COVID vaccine in order to fund your larger pipeline. And analysts are already concerned about a limited COVID vaccine in The US this season because of potential insurance cuts, because of new state rules on pharmacists administering vaccines without new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. So what are your expectations of that revenue from COVID vaccines funding your larger pipeline? Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a great question. So first, we have to deal with the confusion that exists right now about those populations that can benefit most clearly. And I do hope that through the CDC's meetings this week and over the coming couple of weeks, we can clarify that in America, that those that are older and those with risk factors really should get boosted to protect themselves against hospitalization if they choose to. It's really up to them. Speaker 0: So, mister chairman, what should we expect? Mister chairman, what should we expect with regard to these COVID vaccines this time around? Speaker 1: Well, you have to look at the risks versus the benefits. The scientific evidence shows that the risks of taking the COVID vaccine for children exceeds the benefits, and the scientific evidence is abundant on this. There's a study out of Israel that showed that about six to eight kids 20 that are healthy will get an inflammation of the heart that is very dangerous, and that risk exceeds the benefits of a vaccine. Kids are not dying. Healthy kids were not dying in 2020, but they're particularly not dying now. The disease has gotten less dangerous, and we have developed immunity to this disease among the community. So the need for the vaccine needs to be honest. It needs not to be out there to prop up a pharmaceutical company. And this is my debate with Monarez, and this is why I begrudgingly voted for her, but now I'm glad that she's gone because she resisted this. She resisted and said, oh, no. Every kid at six months needs to get a COVID vaccination, and that defies the scientific evidence and shows me that she's not objective. It's the same with the hepatitis b vaccine. Unless the mom has hepatitis b vaccine, disease, there is no indication for the vaccine at birth, and we need to readdress that. And she was not open minded, and that's my understanding why she was let go. And we need scientists in government who will follow the science, not their own presuppositions and their own biases. Speaker 0: Unbelievable. You are doing so much, senator. Thank you for that.

@RandPaul - Rand Paul

Hillary, Obama, and the Democrats clearly used the apparatus of government to delegitimize an election and harm Donald Trump. This should be fully investigated, and those responsible should be punished. Thanks to @DNIGabbard for bringing more of this to light.

@DailySignal - The Daily Signal

Newly declassified documents from @DNIGabbard show Obama’s intel chiefs used government power to push the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. And to this day, Hillary Clinton cries “rigged” at the 2016 election. But Democrats say President Trump is the threat for questioning Biden's win in 2020? Spare us the double standard. @SenRandPaul speaks on this at a Senate Homeland Security Committee today👇 https://t.co/l3O17jg16t

@SenRandPaul - Senator Rand Paul

The Left spent years screaming that Trump was “illegitimate”—Hillary, Jimmy Carter, House Dems… all of them. But, both parties have a bad habit of being sore losers. The real threat isn’t just election denial, it’s when sore losers weaponize the government to get their way.

No war with Iran. The Neocons latest plan must be opposed.

@seanmdav - Sean Davis

When the U.S. government and NATO helped overthrow Gaddafi and destroy Libya *after* he voluntarily gave up his WMD in good faith, they communicated to every regime on earth to never give up their weapons programs and to never negotiate with the U.S. That one act did more to set back non-proliferation than potentially any single event in modern history, and yet we are told by the same neocons who designed, demanded, and executed it to trust them when it comes to Iran policy. Iraq showed that American intelligence was not to be believed, Libya showed that America and NATO were not to be trusted, and Afghanistan showed that America was not to be feared. These are the fruits of neocon American foreign policy over the last quarter-century. If you want the next twenty-five years to look any different, you’d be well advised to do the opposite of whatever the neocons demand. And right now, they’re demanding war with Iran.

If the bill were just about making the 2017 tax cuts permanent, I’d fully support it. However, it includes a massive debt ceiling increase, leading to $5T in borrowing over the next two years. This is not conservative, and I cannot support passing it.

@RandPaul - Rand Paul

If the bill were solely about making the 2017 tax cuts permanent, I wouldn't be a yes; I'd be a hell yes. Unfortunately, that's not the reality with this bill. It includes the largest increase of the debt ceiling ever and will have the United States borrowing $5T over the next 2 years. This bill is the opposite of conservative, and we should not pass it.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Senator Rand Paul expresses mixed feelings about a bill, supporting its tax cuts but opposing the $5 trillion debt ceiling increase, which he says will be the largest ever and put Republicans in charge of the debt. He suggests separating the debt ceiling vote. While open to spending cuts, his main objection is the debt ceiling. Paul proposed raising the debt ceiling by $500 billion, demanding Congress show spending cuts before further increases, treating them like unreliable teenagers with an allowance. He believes four Republican senators could block the bill due to the debt ceiling. Regarding Ukraine, while sympathetic, Paul doubts Ukraine can expel Russia and advocates for peace. He criticizes a bill proposing tariffs on those trading with Russia, calling it a potential catalyst for a worldwide depression and trade embargo. He argues that trade with adversary nations can be beneficial for peace.

Speaker 0: Senator Rand Paul joins us now, and sir, it's good to see you again. You've been very popular these last couple of days. I I wanna start with the fact that you now have Elon Musk on your side, which was a really big tweet today. I think applies a lot of the pressure that you're trying to apply. He he calls the bill an abomination. What specifically has you so so turned off about this bill specifically? This morning, you essentially said you wanna cut 6% from basically every part of the budget, but what is it about this bill that you don't like so much? Speaker 1: Well, let's start with what I like about the bill. What I like about the bill, the tax I voted for them in 2017. I wish they were permanent, and that's a big part of the bill. And if that's all that the bill was, I'm not a yes, a hell yes. I'm all in for that. For spending cuts Speaker 0: Yeah. Speaker 1: I don't think there are enough spending cuts in that, and I'm worried about that. I wish there were more, but I still would support the tax cuts and some spending cuts if they weren't forcing conservatives to vote to raise the debt ceiling $5,000,000,000,000. That concerns me because when you extend the debt ceiling, this will be the largest increase in the debt ceiling ever. This will be the first time that Republicans alone will be responsible for the debt. The debt will be basically owned by Republicans, and I'm not for borrowing $5,000,000,000,000 over the next two years. I've told the president if they will separate the debt ceiling vote out, they they they very may well have my vote on this. But so far, the negotiations are slow. They seem to be picking up a little bit in the last couple of days, so I'm still hopeful that we can come to an agreement. Speaker 0: I I mean, I fiscally, you know, I I watched you on CNBC this morning. I you didn't say one thing that that I I didn't think was very, you know, sympathetic. I I I thought you made a lot of great points. I know you're getting hammered by the president for this, but I I don't inherently think that you're wrong about what you're concerned about. I don't think you're wrong about the the size of the government and how much we spend. I just I I also think that I I watched Besson on Face the Nation on Sunday, and I thought he was very pragmatic as well, that he just basically said, listen. Everything all spending in Washington got shot through the roof. We didn't get here overnight. They're trying to cut it down in in in a in a very pragmatic and and and stable way. And and it sounds like you wanna just take a machete to the size of government and the spending of government. I I can appreciate that. But but does the treasury secretary have a point? Speaker 1: Well, you you're right. You're right. Well, you're right. I do wanna take a machete to it, but I'm willing to take less big or a big scalpel if that could be the metaphor. The thing is is that it the bill doesn't have to have everything in it that I want, but I do wanna cut spending. The reason that I can't vote for it is the debt ceiling on there. So if you take the debt ceiling off and you say, are you for the tax cuts? Yes. Are you for spending cuts? Will you vote for it if you don't get everything you want on the spending cuts? Yes. So the thing is, it isn't that I'm objecting to too little spending cuts or to the tax cuts or to the CBO. What I'm objecting to is I do not want to be responsible, and I I don't want there to be no conservative opposition to the debt. Raising the debt ceiling $5,000,000,000,000 implies and almost always means we're gonna borrow $5,000,000,000,000 that we don't have in the next two years. I'm not for that. That's just not conservative. Speaker 0: I I I completely understand that. Is there any way to do this, though, without raising the debt ceiling as it is? Speaker 1: No. The debt ceiling has to go up. The debt ceiling has to go up. So I offered an amendment two weeks ago to let the debt ceiling go up $500,000,000,000. That sounds like a lot of money, but that's about three months worth of borrowing because the this it's literally out of control. Our interest payment is a trillion dollars. We borrow over $4,000,000 every minute. It's about we borrow 6,000,000,000 a day. So something has to be done. And so I would offer to raise it 500,000,000,000. Everybody says that only lasts us three months. Precisely. Come back to me in three months. Show me what you've done for the taxpayer. Show me what you've done to the debt. Show me how you're cutting spending, and maybe I'll give you a little more an allowance. I think the debt ceiling should be like giving a teenager their allowance. And frankly, congress is less reliable than most teenagers and more profligate in their spending ways than most teenagers. So they should have a very short leash. The president wants the opposite. He doesn't wanna think about the debt ceiling. He wants to be done with it. Don't bother me with it. It's it's making me mad. It's gonna it's gonna bother me, and I don't wanna mess with it for two years. I would mess with it every day. I would mess with it the minimum three months, six months, because it is the leverage that you can use to say, have you done your job? You promised me, not the president. I'm talking about congressional leadership here. Has congressional leadership kept their promise to cut spending? If so, I'll let you borrow a little bit more money. How about three more months? But they have not deserved our our trust. They are not typically honest about the decisions up here. Yeah. And so they do not deserve $5,000,000,000,000 worth of borrowing. Speaker 0: You're you're you're in the minority here, though, right, among Republicans? I most of them are are are ready to vote for the big beautiful bill as it stands. So how do you guys how do you hold the line here? How do you win, I guess, is is the is the question. Speaker 1: All it takes is four people. Ron Johnson has been pretty loud on TV. There's a couple more that I think, may be coming forward. As they come forward, if four of us say we don't want the debt ceiling on it, they'll take it off in a heartbeat. All it takes is four of us, and the debt ceiling's gone. All it takes is four of us to say we want spending cuts. Ron Johnson's been talking about spending pre pandemic. That would virtually balance the budget. I don't know if we can get there, but I'm all for it, and I'll stick with them as long as we can. If there's four of us, we make it smaller. Why would anybody in the country not be rooting for us to make this make the debt less onerous, make the spending less? This is what concerns have always been for. Doesn't mean we're against the president. I'm trying to help the president. He says he wants to balance the budget. Yeah. I'm trying to help the president. Speaker 0: Yeah. I I I I don't I'm not against what you're trying to do at all. Don't think anybody watching this show is gonna listen to you as you've talked talked about this for the last couple of days and disagree with you one iota. I can't imagine that they would. I don't know how that they would. I wanna I wanna change and get you one question really quick on Ukraine before I let you go, senator. Lindsey Graham and and Dick Blumenthal go to Ukraine over the weekend. And then early this week, we find Ukraine dramatically escalates the war, and they did a very impressive job dealing a heavy blow inside of Russia. Russia. Graham and Boomethal want heavy sanctions on Russia. What do you think about what what has just happened here in the last forty eight hours with this war? Speaker 1: You know, I think it's easy to be sympathetic to Ukraine. They have been aggressed against. Their country was invaded. So it's easy, and I am sympathetic to Ukraine. I also am, you know, sympathetic to the carnage and would like the carnage to end. I don't think ultimately Ukraine can push Russia out of their country. Russia's had Crimea since 2014. They've had the Donbas for a couple years now. So I think it's gonna be very difficult, but I do want, I do wanna have peace happen. I would say this on the Graham bill to have more sanctions. It's not really a sanction bill. It's a worldwide tariff bill on anybody who buys oil from Russia or anybody who buys oil from somebody who bought it from Russia. It's a 500% tariff. What would happen if Lindsey Graham bills were to pass would be a worldwide catastrophic depression with all trade ending. It would be a worldwide embargo on trade. It is the most, I don't wanna be I don't wanna overstate my point. It will be the most ill conceived bill ever passed in the history of congress. It's a terrible bill. We can't put 500% tariffs on India. The president is talking about having reciprocal lowering of tariffs with India, and I'd support that. But I don't support a crazy sledgehammer of 500% tariff that can be doubled every 90 on anybody who buys oil from Russia. Ultimately, if you want peace, you actually do want people to trade with Russia. The moment you get no trade with Russia, perhaps you have a desperate Russia that expands the war. Same with China. When you have no trade with China, that's when we're gonna have the worst things happen. So I think still having trade with adversary nations is a good idea. Speaker 0: Senator Paul, thank you so much. We do appreciate it.

Rand Paul expressed his initial reluctance to endorse Donald Trump during the election but now praises Trump's cabinet and policies, particularly his stance on Ukraine and the DOGE initiative. Paul acknowledges his previous hesitation and offers his enthusiastic endorsement, despite still opposing tariffs. He emphasizes the courage and tenacity he sees in Trump. In response, another participant noted that the DOGE initiative is causing a significant reaction among certain groups, describing it as a positive development.

A few people may have noticed that I resisted an enthusiastic endorsement of Donald Trump during the election. But now, I’m amazed by the Trump cabinet (many of whom I would have picked). I love his message to the Ukrainian warmongers, and along with his DOGE initiative shows I was wrong to withhold my endorsement. So today, admittedly a little tardy, I give Donald Trump my enthusiastic endorsement! (Too little too late some will say, but, you know, it is sincere, there is that.)

Happy Festivus! It's that time again to air grievances, and I have plenty, especially after another year in Congress. I’ll be roasting the ruling class in D.C. while enjoying the holiday spirit. This year, I’m targeting figures like Fauci and former Speaker McCarthy, who failed spectacularly in his campaigns. I’m also excited to leverage my subpoena power as the incoming chairman of the Senate HSGAC committee. Plus, I've published my new Waste Report to highlight government spending issues. Stay tuned for more festive commentary!

Speaking of people who got run out of town but won't entirely go away, Happy Festivus to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy! Kevin spent nearly $30 million trying to defeat conservatives who voted him out last year. But he only won one race when President Trump was also against his target. Basically, he completely and utterly failed. He lost races by 27 and 30 points. @SpeakerMcCarthy proved as bad at running campaigns as he did the House. But he's still on my TV!? WHY?

@RobertKennedyJr I noted last year that I would be roasting the next speaker and the gang who put him in power by this Festivus. As usual, I am right. I want to be the first to congratulate former @SpeakerJohnson, who will be gone before DC gets warm again.

I was a one-man @DOGE before @DOGE was a gleam in the eyes of amped-up tech executives, and new media barons got behind the idea. Don't get me wrong, I'm VERY happy they're here.

Dr. Fauci & NIAID staff knew I'd have questions about an $8.9 million grant they doled out in a quid pro quo scenario. That's why they destroyed evidence & avoided FOIA requests. Sign to help ensure they're all prosecuted for destroying evidence & evading public scrutiny. ⬇️

I urge you to contact your Senators and support my amendment to audit the Federal Reserve. It's crucial for the American people to have transparency in how their money is being spent. Let's end the secrecy and take action now. Stand with me in the fight to audit the Fed.

@RandPaul - Rand Paul

‼️🚨VOTE ALERT: Tell your Senators to vote for my amendment to #AudittheFed TODAY🚨‼️ A complete and thorough audit of the Federal Reserve will finally allow the American people to know precisely how Washington is spending their money. That's why I've added my amendment to audit the Fed to the swamp’s latest spending bill. The Federal Reserve has operated under a cloak of secrecy for too long. The time to act is NOW.

President Biden's $7.3 trillion budget, which includes massive tax hikes, is seen as damaging to our nation's financial stability. Critics argue that it prioritizes a radical wish list and treats taxpayers as limitless ATMs. The budget proposes tax increases, a supercharged IRS, and the removal of certain inheritance tax benefits. It also includes measures like homebuyer and mortgage tax credits and funding for climate change training. Critics argue that it is an election-year gambit at the expense of Americans and call for fiscal responsibility. Read more at gop.com.

@RandPaul - Rand Paul

Bidenomics damaged our nation's financial stability, and now the President's $7.3 trillion budget adds insult to injury. This budget proposes massive tax hikes to fund a radical wish list spearheaded by the far left. President Biden treats the taxpayers as though we are limitless ATMs. Every dollar taken by the government from those who earned it is a dollar not spent on a family’s dinner table, a child’s education, or a retirement plan. This budget is nothing more than the Democrat ideologue’s blueprint for an election-year gambit at the expense of Americans. We must demand fiscal responsibility and restore the sanctity of the American taxpayer's wallet. Via @RNCResearch: 🚨 Biden’s budget includes $5.5 trillion in tax hikes — increasing from roughly 18 percent of GDP to 20+ percent — even after the IRS collected a record $4.9 trillion in tax revenue last fiscal year. 🚨 Biden proposes massive corporate tax increases, giving the U.S. a higher business tax rate than communist China. 🚨 Biden’s budget restores billions of dollars for a supercharged IRS, even after it was successfully clawed back by Republicans. 🚨 Biden proposes a second death tax by removing the step-up in basis upon certain inheritance. 🚨 Biden proposes homebuyer and mortgage tax credits — an admission that record mortgage rates and skyrocketing rents are unaffordable under Biden — that would make the housing crisis worse by doing nothing to address supply. 🚨 Biden wants billions to “train young workers” on climate change — a major tenant of AOC’s Green New Deal.

Speaker 0: Attorney general, you had a very moving statement about your grandparents coming here, from Belarus to live in the country without fear of prosecution. I grew up in very similar country, Ukraine now. And And when I came here as a young person, I believed in the value as an American not to be afraid of my government. But I wanted to Speaker 1: tell you and I want to share with you and get your thoughts on that. Speaker 0: Are you aware that a lot of Americans are now afraid of being prosecuted by your department. Are you aware about that? Are you aware of that? I'm just saying, are you aware or not? I think that, constant attacks on the department and saying that It's Speaker 1: not a tax. Let me Speaker 0: let me give you an example. I don't know. We talk about January 6th. People I'm sorry? Speaker 1: Yeah. There there are Speaker 0: some people came on January 6th. Speaker 1: There probably was some people that came on January 6th here, you know, that had bad intent. But a lot of good Americans from my district came here because they are sick and tired of this government not serving them. They came with strollers and the kids, and there was chaotic situation because the proper security wasn't provided. That's a question that was answered. Really, why? Why we debated for 45 minutes on the floor and didn't stop the debate after the people broke in into the capital. But these people came. They were throwing the smoke bombs into the crowd with strollers, with kids. People were showed up, you know, FBI agent, to people's houses. You had in my district, in my town, FBI phone numbers all over the district. Please call. Call that. People are truly afraid. I just want to make sure if you're not aware that you are. And this is a big problem when people are afraid of their own government and also some other things. We're talking about justice system. I don't question. You're probably not a bad person. I don't Probably not a bad person. I don't know you. But what I'll tell you, you're in charge of the department. And people right now feel. You know, I look at Durham report, and I called on the fights of violations of queries of millions of Americans. Right? It's like KGB. But when I read Durham reports, we have this. You have a nice, you know, playbook. 1st, let's have a special counsel, and then you don't have to answer any questions here. Then let's extend slow walk investigation on Hillary Clinton, on Hunter. Everything is slow walk. We were very quick on Donald Trump, but you were very slow work. Then by the time, you know, that investigation and its statute of limitation expired, And all of your agents need to be tested for media. No one recalls anything. Okay? You probably should have as part of your hiring policy. So no one's held accountable, which was egregious what happened, you know, in that report. When I read about them, I can't believe it happened in the United States of America. This is My frustration I'll be honest with you. Then it's very interesting. You know, regardless what it is, even people in Obama administration raise concerns. You know, how can president's sons be serving on, you know, corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs? Do you understand seeing that it actually can undermine the one Ukrainian effort on policy. I think this concerns were raised. The Obama administration didn't do anything about it. These people are dying right now, and Americans don't trust this president. So you I want to ask you one thing. You know, as you you know, I don't need answer because I know you're not going to. But I think you're probably good American, and you care. And a lot of these people are so afraid. They cover up this stuff, I think, in your department because they're embarrassed that what we became as a country to say that what our Department of Justice became. That allows Russians to do propaganda in Chinese. It allows them to destabilize our country. That is danger to our republic. It is significant danger. And I have just 1 more question from you. You know? And, I mean, I agree on corporate Crimes and fights and stuff, even with Democrats, that we need to do a better job. One more question for you. Do you believe that you know, you talk about right to vote, but do you believe that Only US citizens should be voting in this election and doing anything to make sure that only eligible people vote in elections. Speaker 0: Yes and yes. Speaker 1: Okay. I would like to see that what you do. Thank you.
