The Highwire with Del Bigtree - WHY DID BIDEN PARDON FAUCI?

Episode Date: January 25, 2025

With hours left in his precedency, Joe Biden issued a preemptive pardon for Anthony Fauci for “any offense against the United States he may have committed.” This calls into question why an esteemed doctor would require, or accept such a shocking display of contempt for the law and for public trust if no crime was committed. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Trump's inaugurated on January 20th and hours, literally hours before he puts his hand on the Bible. We have Biden passing out executive orders, passing out pardons, I should say. And let's just stop for a second because before I go into this, I want to look at all the presidents. Let's go back to Harry Truman. And we have this chart here of all the presidents and how many people they pardoned. And you can see something at the bottom there. A lot of green real estate on Joe Biden's name. You have about 8,064 pardons from Joe Biden.

in one term. George Bush had 200 pardons in two terms. Barack Obama, 1,927 pardons in two terms. So Biden was very busy pardoning people. And some of the people obviously pardoned his son Hunter, but then he went on the morning of the inauguration to pardon his siblings and their spouses on the way out of the White House. We have that article.

But then for our audience and for the world audience, we have the main figure in the ongoing, global, scientific, crime scene that is the COVID pandemic Anthony Fauci and this is the headline here Biden preemptively pardons Anthony Fauci marked Millie in the January 6th committee members so pardons usually are for people that have committed a crime yeah maybe they they showed great behavior um so the preemptive pardon is very rare i mean Jimmy Carter preemptively pardoned people who who did not take part in the Vietnam draft that was mandatory things like that we've seen throughout history it has happened but it's very rare.

So let's look at the pardon here from, from Biden to Fauci. This is a full and unconditional pardon. It says for any offense against the United States, which he may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1st, 2014, through the date of this pardon rising from or any matter related to the services director of NIAID, as a member of the White House Corona Task Force

or the White House COVID-19 response team as the chief medical advisor to the president. So this shows shocking contempt for the public rule of law justice and i think by doing this has eroded public trust in public health more than any president in the history of this country because this is just again it's an ongoing investigation and i think one of the people who really puts it so plainly and so so succinctly is comedian actor and podcaster andrew shultz he was on a podcast and when he heard about this he kind of just erupted and it sounded like this but fouchy took the part

You could say I don't want the pardon. I don't think I did anything wrong. But he took the pardon. It was not. I'm going to anybody for taking a pardon. I do because now you're guilty. Because there are a lot of people that were on the January 6th committee. They were offered a pardon.

And they said no. They're like, I did my job. I was supposed to investigate this. I did what I was supposed to do. I don't want the pardon. If you're Fauci, you're not taking a pardon? What's in my arm, yo? What's in your home?

That's what I'm saying. That's in my arm. That's in my arm. Why are you taking a pardon? What's in my arm, yo? What's in my arm? I'm taking that part. I don't get it.

If I put some f*** in my arm, you're not allowed to get pardoned. You told me I need to put some shit in my arm. Now you can't go get pardoned. You got to hold the weight of that decision. That's your job. What's in my arm, you know? I mean, what's about to come out?

You ain't wrong. Like, it looks a suspect. It definitely looks crazy suspect. I mean, it's such a good point. point, right? Like, why would a doctor that ran, you know, our health decisions during pandemic need to be pardoned ahead of time? Obviously, even that conversation that go on, well, maybe was the gain of function, things that, you know, ran Paul, had him on the ropes. Probably, they sense, was going in for the kill any day now. Of course, I've been saying, and maybe I made

the mistake of being so open about the fact that I wanted to see him Carter. off to jail in handcuffs. My understanding is, though, that it is a federal pardon, that the states will still have rights and inability to maybe indict on some level. So it would be interesting to see if any of the states go that direction. But I think it's a perfectly valid point. If you haven't broken the law, why are you worried? Why would you need a pardon? If you feel good about what you've done, don't you think the court systems in America work? I mean, the whole thing is The whole idea of preemptive pardon really undermines faith in the system. The president doesn't trust the judicial system that they've used so powerfully and really weaponized themselves over the last four years.

I think that that's clear to anybody. It's just, you know, it's a double standard. And I do think we should be worried. I think anyone that got injected or, you know, had someone die because they couldn't get ivermectin or hydroxic, and then the salesperson for all of those things, including the six-foot social distancing, which he said just sort of appeared, well, we'll have to see what happens. But it's unfortunate. It also, I think, though, does lay the onus of guilt upon him. So we'll see how that plays out, certainly in our history books.

Yeah, and it wasn't like, you know, he was Scott Free and this was a conspiracy. We had in 2022, This is Ram Paul. Fauci referred to Justice Department for criminal investigation for allegedly lying under oath to Congress. And even Ram Paul took to X after he heard about this pardon. He said if there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden's pardon to Fauci forever steals a deal. As chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, I will not rest until the entire truth of the cover-up exposed. Fauci's pardon will only serve as an accelerant to pierce the veil of deception.

Ignominious, Anthony Fauci will go down. in history as the first government scientists to be preemptedly pardoned for a crime. And as you rightly mentioned, in 2014, because that's when this starts, the pardoned started 2014, we know that President Obama asked for a halt to gain a function of research. The headline says US halts funding for new risky virus studies that like SARS, MERS, flu. There's one study that snuck through, though, and this was Ralph Barrett, University of North Carolina, funded by NIAID's Anthony Fauci. with the SARS-like cluster of circulating back coronavirus

that shows potential for human emergence, where they were souping up coronaviruses to see if they can better infect people. And Fauci paid for that. And we know, we know now that's emails. He was running around trying to cover that up. Then he covered up the origin story. Then he was the promoter of the vaccine.

As you said, social distancing. He was the main person on that, possibly lying in congressional hearings. This guy has fingerprints everywhere that need to be investigated. So it's really interesting that, I mean, this sends a message, a bad message to public health officials that they can be reckless with their recommendations and get away with it. So one of the other things that Biden did right before he left was he gave a gift to Moderna of $590 million through HHS by providing them the money to accelerate pandemic influenza,

mRNA-based vaccine development. These are for avian flu viruses with pandemic potential. So this is another thing that Biden is just pouring. money. A lot of people thought this was Trump's decision, but this was Biden. So these were these were these kind of gifts as he's out the door and parting. But now we move to Trump. He takes office and there's interesting because Trump is a businessman, as we all know. So he always reaches across the aisle and tries to make an alliance, tries to make deals here and there. And he meets with another than Bill Gates, someone that a lot of people know over the last four years and really don't have trust and not

much faith in what Bill Gates has to offer. And Bill Gates then went on a media outlet and talked about that. Sounded like this. Have you met with Donald Trump since the election? Yeah, I had a chance to go have a long and actually quite intriguing dinner with him. What did you discuss? What was intriguing? Well, we touched on a lot of things. It was over three hours, to my surprise. It was, you know, just he and I, his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and the person helps manage things for me, So the four of us sat there and it was quite wide-ranging. You know, global health is the area that I work in. And such amazing things have happened and can happen there.

I spoke a lot about HIV and that the foundation is literally working on a cure for that. We're at an early stage. And so, you know, he in the COVID days accelerated the vaccine innovation. So I, you know, was asking him, if maybe this is. same kind of thing could be done here. And we both got, I think, pretty excited about that. We talked about polio, where, you know, we're very close to getting that done. But if you, if you stop, it'll spread back. And so I explained why it's been tough in Pakistan, Afghanistan. We've had cases show up in Gaza. We have cases in Africa. And he was fascinated to hear

what he could do to maximize the chance that during the next four years, that incredible milestone will be achieved. I felt like he was energized and, you know, looking forward to helping to drive innovation. You know, I was, I was frankly impressed with how well he showed a lot of interest in the issues I brought up. That's very interesting. Just to point out that polio is now spreading in the countries he's talking about because of vaccine programs that is almost completely vaccine strain polio that's now spreading those areas i've spoken to scientists and they point to bill gates who has indictments against him in some of the countries um around the world that are think that his reckless use of and overseeing a vaccine programs is causing problems not

helping them so interesting i just you know hopefully you know and this is why i think we're all you know We're going to talk a lot about it throughout the show, but waiting with bated breath for Robert Kennedy Jr. to be confirmed with the hope that he'll actually be a part of these conversations and maybe bring a counterbalance to it, if you will. And so as Bill Gates basically enters the White House and talks about things like polio, I think there's no better time than people around Trump or anybody in this nation to watch the polio documentary that has just been released. It's a blockbuster. or people stop me throughout the entire Maha event, tell me about this polio documentary and how it's going to change, change the history of how we know,

what we know about this subject. So this is something anybody can watch right now.
