It Ain’t Over Until Fauci Resigns

BUCK: Fauci, covid. It ain’t over, folks. It’s not over ’til Fauci resigns. You’re gonna notice, the moment that Fauci doesn’t want to put up with Republicans in control of Congress is when, all of a sudden, things start to feel a little bit less tyrannical about covid. And if you’re wondering why am I even bringing this up, here’s a headline just from today: “Covid Hospitalization Rate in NYC Soars 70% in a Month — The ICU patient tally has nearly doubled. BA.5 more easily transmits and escapes immunity, leading many to call it the worst version of Omicron yet.”

So, this is interesting because, for one thing, this is from the NBC piece here, NBC, New York. They say Omicron subvariant BA.5 is estimated to be 82% of covid cases in New York, according to the CDC. It is now four times as vaccine-resistant as its predecessor and has been linked to a heightened risk of reinfection. Now, I am not sure on this, NBC is saying this. But can I just note here, this is interesting. We now have a variant that they’re telling us is a lot more resistant to the vaccine as in makes the vaccine worthless.

I thought as we went looking here more vaccines means less virus, we’re safer, everything is better, vaccine number five coming your way soon. That’s the truth. Booster shot number three is gonna have to be here by September and maybe even a whole new range of shots and boosters, least according to Pfizer and Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer. If you ever listened to the CEO of Pfizer, I think he is Greek, and he sort of always sounds like maybe you need shots six, seven, eight, nine. This will be good for you.

He’s saying we’re gonna have a whole range of shots starting in September, a new range — and I think those are for Omicron. But maybe… I think that must be for original Omicron, the first version of Omicron, not Coke Zero but, like, Coca-Cola. Didn’t they try Clear Coke for a while? That was a thing, right? Didn’t last very long. Turns out people wanted their caramel color in their Coca-Cola. So, we’re gonna get a whole new range of shots. I think it’s noteworthy. I think it’s something to take note of that they’re now reporting on this variant of covid is even more resistant to defense by the vaccine than previous ones, almost like the…

‘Cause what you’re supposed to have, you would think, is less and less virulent versions of the covid virus as it moves along and also more and more boosters should give you more and more protection, right? Well, four times as vaccine-resistant as its predecessor, according to this NBC News report based off of CDC data. What is going on? The problem with asking the question, “What is going on?” is that it immediately gets pushed by the media to people who have been wrong about everything. Everything. They’ve been wrong about how well the shots would work.

They were wrong to mandate the shots, they were wrong that the shots would stop the spread, they were wrong with vaccines would work. They were wrong. I’m sorry. That masks would work. They were wrong that N95s would bring down the curve. They were wrong about lockdowns. They were wrong. Go down the list. Those people somehow… It is as if we have the guys who engineered the mortgage crisis by selling all those mortgage-backed securities and almost nuking the entire global economy, we’re going to them and saying, “Hey, guys, teach us about the housing market.

“Maybe we’ll put you in charge again. They have messed up everything. Fauci, Walensky. I know Dr. Birx is going around now… Dr. Birx should be ashamed. Her whole life was building to this moment, right? Her whole professional career building to this moment, and she’s absolutely failed. Abject disastrous failure from the public health establishment with covid. Notice how you’re not even hearing we have a million people, they say, that died in this country from covid. Now, they also aren’t doing the data analysis to tell us how much of that is actually from covid versus with covid.

Which would, I think, dramatically change the numbers. But their position is still, even after we get all this wrong, shut up and do what you’re told. We don’t want to hear it. And we played some clips for you of Dr. Fauci, who was on a show — it’s a digital show — over at TheHill.com that I have a connection to ’cause I launched it, actually, at The Hill in 2018. It’s called Rising. This was back when I was doing a syndicated radio show for Premiere 6 to 9.

But in the mornings, really early, I was cohosting a show back then with Krystal Ball, who is a Democrat, and we were doing a left-right show in the mornings, Rising. I left. That show was then — my slot was then — taken over by a fellow named Saagar Enjeti, is a very good guy. He took over and then they both left and then they restaffed the show with Robby Soave from Reason. And a couple of other people whom I just don’t know. I know Robbie a little bit. I don’t know the others. There’s some other Democrats and centrists and they’ve had a kind of rotating cast.

But I’m bringing this up because Robbie and Batya Ungar-Sargon — I think I got her name right, Batya Ungar-Sargon — interviewed Fauci. They’re the ones that got Fauci to say, “I never recommended lockdowns,” which was a great moment for those of us who were the anti-Fauciites because that is just a bald-faced lie. That is as clear a lie as… He might as well tell us, “And we’re also gonna redefine ‘recession.’ We’re gonna redefine the word ‘recommend.’”

When I tell the president, “You need to do this because the entire health establishment agrees with me — and if you don’t, you’re basically a mass murderer,” I would not call that a recommendation. That’s basically, the game that Fauci’s gonna be left playing here. But they had him on this show, they had him on the Rising show. I interviewed Fauci. He doesn’t even remember this. I interviewed Fauci on Rising in 2019, I think, about the flu. It was squeezed in between an interview about the best way to make an apple pie this fall.

It was a real kind of throw away segment. But like, oh, Dr. Fauci, the flu season is coming up, ’cause we haven’t had covid. And at that point, he was just a guy in a lab coat that was like, “Wash your hands. If you wash your hands and you mitigate measures properly…” That was basically what the guy used to be. He was the wash your hands guy. Go back and research what he did, what he was pushing for in the era, the early days of HIV in terms of public awareness and prevention and how they got that very wrong as well.

Birx was involved in that too. These people in the public health apparatus, these are, like, the health commissars who have just been in these roles a long time, no accountability, just sort of sticking around. And it’s a huge health bureaucracy, and people want to trust people in those health roles. Anyway, back to Rising. So Fauci did that show, and to their credit, Robbie Soave and Batya Ungar-Sargon did a pretty good job. I saw some clips from that interview.

She asked Fauci some real questions. And so, you know, I always give credit where it’s due. What was interesting I didn’t even realize this, was that management over at The Hill apparently would not allow Kim Iversen, who has become a pretty big name over there and has a substantial audience, to interview Fauci because… Why do you think that is, everybody? Why would somebody who is a host on a show not be allowed to interview Fauci?

Because she says things like the vaccines don’t stop the spread. I’m gonna tell you this. I’m sure that Fauci’s people made this a condition of him even appearing on the show. I would wager that that is what happened here, that Fauci’s people would say, “Oh, we can’t…” Now, would they say that in an email? No. Would they say that on the phone? Yeah. I remember… I could tell you when I was there, there was a concern, because they had the director of Planned Parenthood on with me, and they know that I am pro-life and think that Planned Parenthood does terrible things.

I was like, “I’m gonna ask the questions I’m gonna ask; she can come on or not. We’re not playing this game of, ‘Oh, well, we need to be nice to the Planned Parenthood boss.’” So, this is not unusual, in these environments where people really want to get a certain name, they really want to get a certain interview and they try to lean on talent to back off as part of it. I remember I did a… I interviewed… Who is the…? Who is the absolute nincompoop, the total moron from the show about the witches? Producer Mark, you can help. What’s the show?

Remember? (interruption) Charmed. Alyssa Milano. I interviewed Alyssa Milano years ago when I was at The Hill also on this show Rising — as a correspondent for Rising, effectively — and her people complained afterwards. “Oh, he should be fired. He was too…” I just asked her questions like, “Wait, do you know what an assault rifle is?” The answer is no, of course. So, that was fun. I just ask questions. I was just asking questions.

I was just doing my thing, and she had a little Chihuahua that came over and marked its territory right next to my feet before the interview, which I have to tell you was definitely a sign. That Chihuahua smelled the right wing all over me, and it was it is not happy with me. But, anyway. Kim Iversen, Kim Iversen quit, to her credit. So, I just invited her — just so you know, I invited her — to come on the show and talk to us about this and set it all straight. Kim Iversen wanted to interview Fauci. She clearly is willing to ask questions.

If you’re not willing to ask questions about Fauci in an aggressive way you’re a drone, you’re not a person capable of independent thought. And Fauci’s a disaster. He’s the worst public health bureaucrat in the history of the United States, probably the history of the world. Guy is an abject disaster and a fraud and a liar. And I have a feeling that she recognizes some of this, and so they wouldn’t let her. But just think about that. There are places… Fauci won’t go into a place where there are people who will ask him the tough questions.

The only time you ever get that is when he has to appear before Congress as he’s a federal employee. But he will not go against opposition media. All the things that were mandated. They will mask up your child, they will shut down your school, they will shut down your business, they take all that power in their hands, but they don’t want to take any harsh questions. Oh, no. It makes me sad on the inside when people question the measures about droplet spread. I am not gonna relent on this. That guy has got to be removed from his job, must resign or be fired.
