Anthony Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during a Senate hearing became the central flashpoint in a renewed debate over the government's COVID-19 response and accountability for pandemic-era policies. The hearing featured sharp questioning from multiple senators on topics ranging from pandemic decision-making and public health guidance to records retention, financial arrangements, and the origins of key COVID-era policies. According to the discussion highlighted in this episode, Fauci repeatedly declined to answer questions, citing his Fifth Amendment rights. In this episode Ben examines the dramatic Senate hearing involving Anthony Fauci, the repeated invocation of the Fifth Amendment, the reaction from lawmakers including Rand Paul, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley, and others, and the broader debate over COVID lockdowns, school closures, vaccine mandates, masking guidance, and government transparency. He discusses the political fallout from the hearing, competing media reactions, and why questions surrounding pandemic policies continue to generate strong public interest years after the COVID-19 emergency.
