Fauci Springs Surprise in Contentious Senate Hearing
About this episode
Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Dr. Anthony Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid questions about his handling of the Covid pandemic, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani publishing the names and addresses of "rich" people he plans to tax, Hawaii's Lt. Gov. getting indicted for Covid-related corruption, and whether Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate Angie Craig asked for an endorsement from a state lawmaker shortly after he was shot last year.
First, they discuss Dr. Fauci refusing to testify before Sen. Rand Paul and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, now that he's not covered by President Biden's pardon. Jim explains why this is a really bad look for Fauci and shows how the left is trying to defend Fauci in some ways while distancing itself in others. Greg notes the stunning lack of mainstream media interest in the Fauci diaries.
Next, they fume over Mayor Mamdani's decision to release a database listing the names and addresses of everyone his administration sees as eligible for his new "pied-à-terre" tax aimed at owners of second homes above a certain value in the city. Jim explains how reckless this is and why aggressive pushback is needed now.
Then, they look at reports of Hawaii Democrat Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke getting indicted for taking $35,000 in campaign contributions in exchange for steering COVID testing contracts while she was in the state legislature.
Finally, they consider allegations that Minnesota Rep. Angie Craig asked State Sen. John Hoffman for an endorsement in her campaign for U.S. Senate while he was still in the ICU after he and his wife were shot last year. Craig denies the accusations.
