Hawley calls Fauci the ‘BIGGEST SCAMMER IN AMERICAN HISTORY’

! [LAUGHTER]. >> Jesse: MISSOURI. SENATOR JOSH HAWLEY JOINS US. NOW. SENATOR, YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO. DO WHAT WITH FAUCI NOW? >> WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NEXT IS. HE NEEDS TO BE HELD IN CONTEMPT. BECAUSE HE CAME, YOU SAW WHAT HE. DID, 111 TIMES HE TOOK THE. FIFTH. THIS GUY IS GOING TO BE THE. BIGGEST SCAM ARTIST EVER. THE BIGGEST SCAMMEMER OF COVID, THE BIGGEST SCAMMER IN AMERICAN. HISTORY. HE GOT RICH DURING COVID WHILE. EVERYBODY ELSE WAS SITTING AT.

HOME OR SICK. FAUCI WAS GETTING RICH. A MILLION DOLLARS THAT GUY GOT. IN CASH PRIZE MONEY FOR HIMSELF. DURING COVID USING HIS. EMPLOYEES, USING THE FEDERAL. GOVERNMENT. THIS GUY NEEDS TO BE HELD IN. CONTEMPT. I HOPE DOJ WILL PROSECUTE HIM. FOR IT. >> Jesse: THAT'S A CRIME, THEY. MAKE YOUR STAFF APPLY FOR CASH. AWARDS? >> YES, IT IS. IT'S COMPLETELY ILLEGAL ALREADY. UNDER FEDERAL LAW. YOU CANNOT USE YOUR STAFF TO GO. AND APPLY FOR CASH AWARDS FOR.

YOURSELF. YOU ARE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO. SOLICIT CASH AWARDS PERIOD. FAUCI WAS OUT THERE DOING IT. LEFT, RIGHT, AND CENTER FOR. YEARS. HE WOULD WRITE IN HIS DIARY, TODAY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF. PEOPLE HAVE COVID AND THE VERY. NEXT THING IS, AND I APPLIED FOR. THIS AWARD. $900,000 HERE, $50,000 THERE, A. MILLION DOLLARS HE GOT. >> Jesse: BUT YOU CAN'T GET. HIM ON THAT BECAUSE HE'S GOT THE. PARDON FOR THAT I BELIEVE. BUT YOU CAN GET HIM FOR. CONTEMPT. NOW CONTEMPT IS WHAT, YOU JUST. ARE TELLING CONGRESS TO SCREW.

OFF AND WHAT DO YOU FACE IN. PENALTIES FOR THAT? >> YOU KNOW, IT'S UP TO DOJ TO. PROSECUTE AND I HOPE THEY WILL. BECAUSE HERE'S THE DEAL. AS YOU POINTED OUT, HE HAS A. HUGE PARDON FROM JOE BIDEN, BIGGER THAN HUNTER BIDEN'S, BUT. THAT MEANS IF YOU GET A PARDON, YOU CAN'T TAKE THE FIFTH. ANYMORE. HE CAME IN AND TOOK THE FIFTH. 111 TIMES. INNOCENT PEOPLE DON'T TAKE THE. FIFTH IN MY OBSERVATION. HE DID IT. HE KNEW HE WASN'T ENTITLED TO. IT, HE JUST DID NOT WANT TO. ANSWER FOR HIS MANY, MANY, MANY,

MANY INSTANCES OF WRONGDOING. HE NEEDS TO BE PROSECUTED. >> Jesse: YOU WERE THERE IN. THE HEARING ROOM AND DID A GREAT. JOB AND YOU OBSERVED HIM. WE COULD NOT SEE THE SHOT OF. FAUCI THE WHOLE TIME. WHAT WAS YOUR IMPRESSION OF HIM. AND HIS DEMEANOR WHEN YOU GUYS. WERE THERE GRILLING HIM? >> YOU KNOW, I HONESTLY THOUGHT. THAT AS IT WENT ON IT REALLY. BEGAN TO SINK INTO HIM THAT, YOU. KNOW, HE HAS BLOWN IT. THIS IS A GUY WHO ONCE UPON A. TIME PROBABLY WAS A DECENT. PUBLIC SERVANT. I DON'T KNOW.

BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY HE. LOST IT. HE COMPLETELY LOST HIS WAY AND I. THINK WHEN HE'S SITTING THERE. AND WE ARE REVEALING THAT HE. TOOK A MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH. MONEY WHILE EVERYBODY ELSE IS. SICK, A MILLION PEOPLE DIED HE. WAS JUST LOOKING AT HIS HANDS. HE COULD NOT EVEN LOOK ME IN THE. EYE. I THINK THAT SAYS SOMETHING. AND IT SHOULD SAY SOMETHING. BECAUSE THAT GUY, WHAT HE DID IS. TERRIBLE. >> Jesse: ANY HAD LIKE 50. LAWYERS SURROUNDING HIM. HOW MANY LAWYERS DID HE HAVE? >> HE HAD SO MANY THAT, YOU. KNOW, YOU COULD KICK OUT HALF OF.

THEM AND HE WOULD STILL HAVE. HALF THE AUDIENCE THERE. A WHOLE ROW BEHIND HIM AND THEY. WERE CONSTANTLY TAPPING HIM ON. THE SHOULDER, DON'T ANSWER. I ASKED HIM AT WHAT POINT WHAT. COLOR IS THE CARPET AND HE. STARTED TO LOOK DOWN AND HIS. LAWYERS ARE TAPPING HIM, DON'T. ANSWER. >> Jesse: WHAT A JOKE. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING HAPPEN.
