Fauci Goes Under Oath. Check Out 7 Big Takeaways

Dr. Anthony Fauci testified Monday before the House panel investigating the origins of COVID-19, defending pandemic-era restrictions and again sharply denying financial support for gain-of-function research with coronaviruses.  Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, took questions under oath before the House Oversight and Accountability Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.  Here are seven highlights of the panel’s hearing.  1. ‘Regulatory and Operative Definition’ Fauci fielded questions from several lawmakers on National Institutes of Health grants to the EcoHealth Alliance, a New York-based organization that in turn funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. NIH includes the agency directed by Fauci for nearly 40 years, until his retirement at the end of 2022.  Last month, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced a suspension of funding to the EcoHealth Alliance. COVID-19 first emerged in Wuhan. The FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies reached  a consensus that the virus that causes COVID-19 emerged from a lab leak there.  Before taking questions from the House panel, Fauci affirmed in his opening remarks that “according to the regulatory and operative definition, … the NIH did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”  However, NIH Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak had told the House panel that under the generic definition of gain-of-function research, NIH indeed funded such research at the Wuhan lab.  Critics of Fauci have said the NIH used EcoHealth to fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. which is suspected to have led to the initial spread of COVID-19.  The term “gain of function” describes a risky process of making a pathogen more dangerous or contagious for the purpose of studying a response. During the hearing, Rep. Debbie Leski, R-Ariz., asked: “Dr. Fauci, did the National Institutes of Health fund the potentially dangerous enhanced potential pandemic pathogens gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology?”   Fauci replied:  “I would not categorize it the way you did.” “The National Institutes of Health gave a sub-award to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, funded research on the surveillance on the possibility of emerging infections. I would not characterize it as dangerous gain-of-function research,” he explained.  2. ‘Trust the Expertise’ Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, pressed Fauci about accountability for COVID-19.  “Your name is on every single grant,” Cloud told Fauci. “Yet, you absolve yourself of every single responsibility by saying it goes to this committee that has a number of people on it and it’s approved in block. So, there is no accountability for anything, any of the taxpayer dollars that are going forth.” Fauci objected.  “We fund thousands of grants,” Fauci said. “It would be physically impossible for me to go through every single grant in a detailed way to understand it.” Cloud followed up by asking, “Why does your signature go on it?” Fauci replied: “Because someone has to sign off on it and you trust the expertise and the competence of the staff that go over it.” 3. ‘To the Best of My Knowledge’ Fauci said some of his top staff, mainly Dr. David Morens, for years a senior adviser at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, violated NIH policy on public records.  Morens last month admitted to Congress that he used private email to dodge disclosure of public information about NIH grants to the EcoHealth Alliance, the organization that worked and helped fund the Wuhan lab.  House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., pressed Fauci on the issue of his longtime senior adviser.  “Did you ever delete an official record? Fauci replied, “No.” Comer asked, “Dr. Fauci, did you ever conduct official business via [personal] email?” Fauci replied: “To the best of my recollection and knowledge, I have never conducted official business via my private email.” Comer later said there was a “troubling pattern” among Fauci’s inner circle. Fauci said, “Using a personal email for official business violates NIH policy.” Comer asked: “On April 28, 2020, Dr. Morens edited an EcoHealth press release regarding the grant termination. Does that violate policy?” Fauci replied: “That was inappropriate for him to be doing that for a grantee, as a conflict of interest among other things.”  4. ‘Open Mind’ on Lab Leak Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., pressed Fauci on whether he tried to suppress the lab leak theory, quoting him.  “You have said, ‘I’ve heard these conspiracy theories and like all conspiracy theories, they’re just conspiracy theories.’ That’s what you told the American people,”  Malliotakis said. “So would you like to clarify what science were you following then versus now?” Fauci said he didn’t mean everyone was a conspiracy theorist, before launching into a scenario comparing himself to a fictional movie character played by actor Matt Damon.  “I don’t think the concept of there being a lab leak is inherently a conspiracy theory,” Fauci said. “What is conspiracy is a kind of distortion of that particular subject, like it was a lab leak and I was parachuted into the CIA like Jason Bourne and told the CIA that they should really not be talking about a lab leak.” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, read aloud communications from Meta executives, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, noting that the Biden administration suppressed posts about a leak from a Chinese lab.  “Why was it so important that the virus not have started in a lab?” Jordan said.  Fauci replied: “It wasn’t so important that the virus not [have started in a lab]. We don’t know.”  Jordan followed up.  “Well, it was important to someone in the Biden administration. So much so that the top people at Meta, the top people at Facebook, are asking, ‘Why are we getting all this pressure to downplay the lab leak theory?’” the Ohio Republican said.  Fauci protested, “What does that got to do with me?” “I’m asking you because you’re the expert on the coronavirus. Why was the administration so pushing not to have the lab leak theory?” Jordan asked.  Fauci replied, “I can’t answer that. I’ve kept an open mind.” “Kept an open mind,” Jordan said, using a skeptical tone.  5. ‘Durability’ of Vaccine Speaking about COVID-19 vaccines, Fauci seemed to admit to Cloud, a Texas Republican, that they had limited capacity to stop the spread of the disease.  “It is very, very clear that [COVID-19] vaccines have saved hundreds of thousands of Americans,” Fauci said.  “Did the vaccines stop anyone from getting COVID?” Cloud asked.  “Early on, it became clear that—,” Fauci began. Cloud interrupted: “They didn’t.” “Actually no,” Fauci said. “In the beginning, it clearly prevented infection in a certain percentage of people but the durability of its ability to prevent infection was not long. It was measured in months.”  Cloud asked: “And it didn’t stop you from spreading [COVID-19], either?”  Faudi answered: “Early on, it prevented infection, but it became clear that it did not prevent transmission when the ability to prevent infection waned.”  6. ‘Tsunami of Deaths’ Cloud listed COVID-19 mitigation efforts and asked whether Fauci would do anything differently if given another chance. Fauci doubled down on his recommendations at the time.  “Business closures?” Cloud asked. Fauci: “Early on, when 5,000 people were dying a day, yes.”  Cloud:  “Church closures?” Fauci: “Same thing.”  Through several questions, Cloud also asked about school closures, stay-at-home orders, and mask mandates for children and adults.  “These were important when we were trying to stop the tsunami of deaths that were occurring early on,” Fauci responded. “How long you kept them going is debatable.” However, early in the hearing, subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, listed the negative effects of many pandemic measures.  “Any dissent from your chosen position was immediately labeled as anti-science,” Wenstrup said. “Anything less than complete submission to the mandates could cost you your livelihood, your ability to go into public, your child’s ability to attend school.” Wenstrup continued:  Families were thrown off planes and shamed when their 2-year-olds struggled to wear a mask. Children with disabilities lost access to therapies that they and their families depended on. Students were out of the classroom and told to attend school remotely even when the science clearly demonstrated it was safe for them to go back in the classroom.  This harmed low-income students the most. How were single-parent households supposed to teach their own children and work at the same time? Dr. Fauci, you oversaw one of the most invasive regimes of domestic policy the U.S. has ever seen, including mask mandates, school closures, coerced vaccinations, social distancing of 6 feet, and more. 7. ‘Podcasters, Conspiracy Theorists, and Unhinged Facebook Memes’ Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., gave Fauci an opening to defend his COVID-19 policies.  “Do you think the American public should listen to America’s brightest and best doctors and scientists, or instead listen to podcasters, conspiracy theorists, and unhinged Facebook memes?” Garcia asked the immunologist.  Fauci replied: “Listening to the people who you just described is going to do nothing but harm people because they will deprive themselves of lifesaving interventions, which has happened.” Fauci said research has shown this to be the case.  “People that refuse to get vaccinated for any variety of reasons [were] probably responsible for an additional 200,000 to 300,000 deaths in this country,” Fauci said.

Hypocritical View Hosts Defend Caitlin Clark After Hostin's Previous Racist Remarks

Hypocritical View Hosts Defend Caitlin Clark After Hostin's Previous Racist Remarks

If there’s one thing The View watchers can count on, it’s the hosts’ capriciousness and hypocrisy. Monday morning’s episode of the ABC News show saw the co-hosts seemingly forget their colleague Sunny Hostin’s racist comments against WNBA star Caitlin Clark, which she spouted less than two weeks prior. Instead, they changed tunes and championed Clark’s cause, praising her sportsmanship and various successes. The topic in question was a recent incident during a game between WNBA teams Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky. Sky guard Chennedy Carter fouled Clark with a shove, prompting the WNBA to upgrade the technical foul to a Flagrant 1, defined as “unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent.”  Hostin, who sits on the board of advocates for the WNBA’s Players Association, and moderator Whoopi Goldberg first downplayed the foul in a back-and-forth, discussing the intensity of a contact sport and the reality of such incidents occurring. Hostin compared the situation to a similar one experienced by another athlete, Angel Reese, praising her sportsmanship in accepting the sport’s challenge, like Clark, rather than expecting special treatment from the league.     Co-host Ana Navarro followed up by paraphrasing Coach Becky Hammon’s take on the narrative of racism in the league: What she said was, um, 'It's construed that some of our minority black and brown women are hating on Caitlin Clark because she's white. And that is not the case. Let's take Caitlin out of the picture. What I think is upsetting, it's not about Caitlin. Give her her flowers. She's done stuff that no man or woman, black or white, has ever done in college basketball. Give that woman her flowers.' For her part, Navarro vigorously agreed, stating “Let's not make it about race, it’s about basketball.” Yet, this was less than two weeks after Hostin’s blatantly racist remarks which were accepted and went completely unquestioned on the show. The hypocrisy was blatant, but maybe nothing more should be expected from the ever-fickle and shortsighted hosts. The other co-hosts showered additional praises on the athletes, with Hostin affirming “It's gonna make them better. It's gonna make Caitlin better. It's gonna make Angel better. It's gonna make the league better. They’re getting better, and better, and better.” At the close of the segment, Hostin cheerfully told viewers, “Let's go watch those games,” a far cry from earlier comments in a complaint about the WNBA’s increased viewership, an unfortunate result of Clark’s “relatability” as a white, pretty, and straight woman. The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: ABC’s The View 6/3/2024 11:18:12 AM EST WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Okay. Let's be realistic, okay? This is basketball, okay? This happens in basketball all the time. Angel Reese got - what uh - clotheslined the other day. I mean, this is…these are not, like, “ha ha ha ha. Here's the ball.”  [ Laughter ]  This is get out the way or Imma move you. That's what the game is. So a lot of people, however, are reading this as confrontation, but this is not–they're not playing on the court. They are there to win. You know, and just ‘cause they're women, get over yourselves. They're athletes. SUNNY HOSTIN: They're athletes.  [ Applause ]  And I love that you say that, right? What I love is that this is maybe the fifth time on this show or more that we're talking about the WNBA, guys. I mean, this is unbelievable, right?  [ Applause ]  And, you know… GOLDBERG: It's only been 17 years since I’ve been here. HOSTIN: Since you’ve been here, and I have been on the board only since 2015, but –'18, but I will say this, it is a contact sport!  GOLDBERG: Yeah. It is.  HOSTIN: And, it's not dainty play, okay? When you're sitting there, and you're–yep. When you’re watching, sometimes when that happens, you think, “Oh, wow. I couldn't take it.” You've got, you know, a guard that's six foot, you've got a big that's 6'7," you’ve got Brittney Griner, seven feet. These are the women that are playing, they’re exceptional athletes. And I want to talk about that Angel Reese. Because this, what happened with Caitlin Clark, which was clearly a flagrant foul–and it got upgraded to a flagrant, which it should have–the week prior, Angel Reese got hammered, got hammered. I mean, the foul was determined to be a Flagrant 2, and Thomas, her opponent, was automatically ejected. I have tape of what she said after the incident. Check this out. [Cuts to video] ANGEL REESE: It's not just ‘cause I'm a rookie. I'm a player. I'm a basketball player. They don't give a damn if I'm a rookie. I mean, I want them to come at me every day. I want them to come at everybody. I mean, they're not supposed to be nice to me. I hope y'all know that. They're not supposed to be nice to me or lay down because I'm Angel Reese or ‘cause I'm a rookie. [Cuts back to live] [Hostin gestures ‘need I say more?’] ANA NAVARRO: You know, what I think is happening, though, is what you guys are talking about. So there's people like me who’ve never watched much basketball. I mean, I go to the Heat games when they're winning.  [Laughter]  And I go to the Heat game because it's, like, a nightclub where there happens to be a basketball game going on. But so people like me who don't watch, see this, and it's, like, at first, it's, like, oh my god. What is that? That's horrible.  GOLDBERG: ¡Ay, Dios Mío! ¿Qué pasa? NAVARRO: Right. I went and looked at what Becky Hammon, who's a WNBA coach, said… SARA HAINES: Oh, I used to play with her. At basketball camp, recruiting camps. We played together. ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: Oh! Elite athlete, Sara Haines. HAINES: Well, she was much better than I am, but– [Laughter] NAVARRO: She said, no. Well, that surprised me. What she said was, um, “It's construed that some of our minority black and brown women are hating on Caitlin Clark because she's white. And that is not the case. Let's take Caitlin out of the picture. What I think is upsetting, it's not about Caitlin. Give her her flowers. She's done stuff that no man or woman, black or white, has ever done in college basketball. Give that woman her flowers.” Let's not make it about race, it’s about basketball. [Applause] HAINES: Yeah. And Caitlin, Caitlin handled it above all. She keeps getting asked, ‘cause she goes–you have to go to your media interviews after. She came to that interview, he said, “This is what it is. You’re gonna keep getting hit.” A lot of p–I think there is another storyline going on of jealousy in the league, and a lot of players have come out, LeBron, the most vocal about it, saying, “Give her her flowers, chill the frik out. Like, you guys need to take seats. She's the reason they’re there.”  And, she set another record already. She was the first rookie WNBA player to ever have 150 points, 50 rebounds, 50 assists in her first ten games and everyone's guarding her like she's the only player on the court. She's still–her stats will speak for her. She kept her head above it. She doesn't take to Twitter, X and have fights online. Like she’s doing what she’s doing. This is not expected to be a walk in the park. FARAH GRIFFIN: And the thing to me is you want–you want strong play. You want it to look as good as you're watching the NBA, which these girls are doing. GOLDBERG: Yeah. FARAH GRIFFIN: I care about sportsmanship. I think it's similar to this table. Leave it on the court, and I think that's the best, is if after you could be, like, listen I want them to come after. I liked what Angel Reese said there, where it’s like, “Don't treat me differently or, like, with kid gloves or whatever.” So, be a good sport off the court, but play hard when you're on it. HOSTIN: It's gonna make them better. It's gonna make Caitlin better. It's gonna make Angel better. It's gonna make the league better. They’re getting better, and better, and better. GOLDBERG: It is the point of the game. NAVARRO: Hopefully they're gonna get better money and better endorsements. HOSTIN: That's right. NAVARRO: Better numbers, TV viewership, when one–when the water rises, all the boats rise. GOLDBERG: Yes. One–one would think so. One would think so, but you know what? This is–this is what sports are. They play hard, and they play brilliantly. HOSTIN: Yep. HAINES: Yeah. GOLDBERG: ‘Cause none of us can beat them. None of us– [Laughter] NAVARRO: Well, apparently some are gonna try. GOLDBERG: Well, if we're talking about trying, that's nothing, but none of us can do what they can do. So let's–let’s give them their due. They're doing their thing. HOSTIN: And let's go watch those games. GOLDBERG: Yes. And we will be right back. (...)

Teachers, librarians caught giving 'obscene' materials to kids could be charged with felony under new Ohio bill

A Republican state representative in Ohio has proposed a bill which, if passed, would bar teachers and librarians from exposing schoolchildren to obscene material.Last month, state Rep. Adam Mathews (R-Lebanon) introduced H.B. 556 which would "create criminal liability for certain teachers and librarians for the offense of pandering obscenity." Under H.B. 556, educators could not create, publish, or perform anything that features "obscene material." They would similarly be prohibited from promoting public events containing obscene material.'A 2nd grader does not need to dodge obscenity in the school library, no matter who the subjects of the obscenity are.'Should the bill become law, any such teacher or librarian caught sharing or promoting such material could be charged with a Class 5 felony, which carries a sentence of between six and 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine, WLWT reported. The bill permits certain exceptions for biology and health teachers as well as material with "a bona fide medical, scientific, religious, governmental, judicial, or other proper purpose.""The purpose of House Bill 556 is to ensure the standard obscenity rules that operate in day-to-day life, from Barnes & Noble to our television sets, are upheld in our K-12 educational spaces," Rep. Mathews said in a statement. "We want to protect the trust and relationship between parents, teachers, and students during the school day."Critics, however, countered that the bill never defines obscenity and would therefore be abused to go after teachers. Melissa Cropper, president of the Ohio Federation of Teachers, claimed the "vagueness of the bill" would give "bad faith actors" the opportunity to attack public educators under the guise of "protecting children."Ohio Education Association President Scott DiMauro went a step farther, claiming he was "appalled" by the bill and suggesting that it attempted "to silence or punish educators for doing their jobs.""HB 556 would have a chilling effect on our classrooms," he continued, "by making trained, experienced professionals unsure whether the necessary, legitimate education materials they have been using with their students would be safe under this dangerous law."Several also mentioned that Ohio law already forbids pandering obscene material.Mathews acknowledged that an anti-obscenity law already exists but added that his bill would ensure such laws would be enforced in Ohio schools and school libraries. He also indicated that teachers can easily cover sensitive topics with their students without using obscene material."Simply put, a 2nd grader does not need to dodge obscenity in the school library, no matter who the subjects of the obscenity are," he said. "... Further, newspapers and history books can inform without delving into obscenity, and I have full confidence teachers can handle tough topics like human trafficking similarly."H.B. 556 has since been passed along to the Ohio House Criminal Justice Committee. However, the committee has yet to schedule a date to consider it.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

'Heterosexual Awesomeness Month' underway at Idaho saloon — and minds are exploding across the fruited plain

Word is rapidly spreading about the Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, which has dubbed June “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month."But as you can imagine, leftists aren't too happy that the bar encroached on sacred temporal territory, given that June has been claimed for Pride Month and all.'This is horridly disappointing. I can handle differing political views. I CANNOT handle bigotry and hate towards marginalized communities.'Here's how the Old State announced its monthlong celebration last week on Facebook:"une will be OSS’s inaugural Heterosexual Awesomeness Month! Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here! Each Monday will be Hetero Male Monday, and any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male will receive a free draft beer. Each Wednesday is Heterosexual couples day, and each heterosexual couple will receive 15% off their bill. More events to be announced in the coming weeks. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to stay informed.Old State also put the word out Friday that it's "seeking a perfect judge for Mondays in June to determine if men's chosen clothing is officially heterosexual. The pay is $15/hr plus free beer. If you think you have what it takes to determine straight threads, send an email with qualifications to: heteroclothingpro@oldstatesaloon.com. Thank you!"'Blatant attack against the queer community'While a number of commenters under Old State's "Heterosexual Awesomeness Month" Facebook announcement absolutely love it, not everybody's a fan. A few examples:"This is horridly disappointing. I can handle differing political views. I CANNOT handle bigotry and hate towards marginalized communities," one commenter wrote in part. "Many of the people in my karaoke group are LGBTQ+. They now do not feel safe among your staff or patrons. Spin it however you think you can, but this is a blatant attack against the queer community.""Every day is hetero day," another commenter argued. "They're not a marginalized group, they're the norm. I don't care if you are glad you're straight but pointing out your hetersexuality during gay pride month is an affront, is othering and creates separation and discord.""Perpetuating mundane and outdated norms just to please your simple pea sized egos and brains is actually really depressing!" another commenter wrote. "Expand your mind, let go of your 'straight' pride and love yourselves and embrace reality."Amid all that was the following gem: "I support heterosexual people but idk why they have to shove it on our faces. Do that in the privacy of your own home."What's more, it took an Idaho Statesman op-ed writer only a day to respond to Old State's announcement with a piece titled, "Free beer for straight men! Eagle bar’s ‘Hetero Month’ puts ‘trans’ in transparent bigotry."Writer Michael Deeds ripped the bar's monthlong promotion to shreds, calling it "thinly veiled hate." He added that "this marketing gimmick is an insecure reaction to LGBTQ+ Pride Month, the annual celebration for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender pride in June."Old State answers backThe saloon didn't shrink back from the dust-up, posting the following message Friday: "We hear lots of people are upset about Heterosexual Awesomeness Month! Please know: 1) We love our LGBTQ+ patrons! 2) We will not be changing our mind and give into the group of those who are responding with vitriol. 3) ALL are welcome to come celebrate heterosexuality with us in June!"Old State added in the same post that Thursdays this month will feature "Her Hetero Happy Hour," meaning that happy hour prices are in effect for heterosexual females all day. Oh, and "Hetero Awesomeness T-shirts" are coming soon, too.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Pat McAfee apologizes for referring to WNBA star Caitlin Clark as a 'white b****' while criticizing media coverage

Former NFL player and popular sports commentator Pat McAfee quickly apologized for a comment he made while criticizing the media's coverage of WNBA star Caitlin Clark. McAfee was pointing out that the media was trying to falsely characterize increased interest in the WNBA as something more than the popularity of Clark when he referred to her as a "white b****," on his show. 'Well, that's a bunch of bulls***!'“What the WNBA currently has is what we like to describe as a cash cow, there is a superstar," said McAfee after pointing out that Clark's games topped others in viewership and her jersey is a top seller. “I would like the media people that continue to say, ‘This rookie class, this rookie class, this rookie class’. Nah, just call it for what it is — there’s one white b**** for the Indiana team who is a superstar,” he added. "Is there a chance that people just enjoy watching her play basketball because of how electrifying she is, what she did, what she stood for, how she went about doing what she went for? Maybe," McAfee continued. "Instead, we have to hear people say that we all like her because she's white, and she's only popular because of the rest of the rookie class is doing what they're doing," he concluded. "Well that's a bunch of bulls***!" McAfee also argued against those who said Clark's popularity came from her being white by pointing out the other WNBA players who were white but not nearly as popular. Many on social media immediately criticized McAfee, and some clipped the video in order to make it appear as if he were criticizing Clark when the segment was trying to praise her ability. 'I have way too much respect for her and women to put that into the universe.'McAfee quickly posted an apology while defending his original point. "I shouldn’t have used 'white bitch' as a descriptor of Caitlin Clark. No matter the context.. even if we’re talking about race being a reason for some of the stuff happening.. I have way too much respect for her and women to put that into the universe," he explained on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. "My intentions when saying it were complimentary just like the entire segment but, a lot of folks are saying that it certainly wasn’t at all. That’s 100% on me and for that I apologize," he added. "Everything else I said… still alllllll facts," McAfee concluded. McAfee played for eight seasons as a punter for the Indianapolis Colts before becoming a popular sports commentator. In 2023, he signed an $85 million contract with ESPN, which is owned by Disney. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Jumping into the second part of a game series can be an overwhelming proposition. For films or even books it’s fairly simple to go back and rewatch or re-read the earlier parts but in gaming it’s completely different. You can be looking at 40+ hours of gameplay and if it’s a narrative game you may end up with a different story to the one you originally had. The developer of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is well aware of this issue and is taking some creative measures to make sure fans both new and old are catered for in this hefty sequel.
