Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth more than 100 times in front of the United States Senate, and Jenny Beth Martin has been waiting six years for the country to see it. In 2020 she stood on the steps of the Supreme Court with Dr. Simone Gold, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Congressman Ralph Norman, and a dozen frontline doctors, warning that the lockdowns and the mandates could cost more than the disease. They went viral, and then they were censored, mocked, and attacked. This week Fauci's private diaries went public. Yesterday he sat in front of Senator Rand Paul's committee and refused to answer a single question, and he would not turn around to look at the Americans in the room who were harmed by his policies. Congressman Mark Harris of North Carolina, a pastor before he was a member of Congress, joins to describe what the mandates did to his church and his funerals, and to walk through everything the House passed before August: the Budget Reconciliation 3.0 framework, the National Defense Authorization Act, a ban on congressional stock trading, and a continuing resolution, each one carrying a piece of the SAVE America Act to a Senate that will not vote. Mark Vargas, Editor-in-Chief of Illinois Review, explains why a federal pardon may not be the end of it, and co-host Robert McNeily breaks down the postponed Todd Blanche confirmation. Jenny Beth closes with a letter a critical-care doctor sent her in May 2020. teapartypatriots.org | jennybethshow.com
Congressman Mark Harris represents North Carolina's Eighth District. A pastor for more than three decades before his election, he serves on the House Judiciary Committee, has introduced two bills to move education programs out of the Department of Education, leads an effort to protect food assistance from retailer fraud, and authored the PARITY Act to end the double standard against career and trade schools.
Mark Vargas is Editor-in-Chief of Illinois Review and writes the Potomac Perspective column for Newsmax. He worked on three high-profile clemency cases under President Trump and has called for a Justice Department Civil Rights Division investigation of the Illinois House leadership.
Robert McNeily is Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action and co-hosts the hour. He lost a broadcast position in Anchorage, Alaska over a denied medical exemption during the mandates.
