Sean Hannity returns after several days away and opens with Anthony Fauci's congressional testimony, where the former NIH director repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment despite previously saying he had nothing to hide. Sean examines newly released diary entries that he argues reveal Fauci's focus on media attention and public image during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hour also revisits debates over vaccines, masking, gain-of-function research, and the origins of COVID-19, while discussing possible legal challenges involving state investigations and presidential pardons. Sean shares his own approach to covering the pandemic and reflects on the pressure he faced over vaccine messaging.
