Watters: Fauci knew he BLEW IT

. >> HEY! >> Jesse: YOU KNOW HOW THEY SAY. SHOULD YOU NEVER READ A LITTLE. GIRL'S DIARY. WE GOT OUR HANDS ON DR. ANTHONY. FAUCI'S DIARY. VIEWER WARNING. WE'LL READ FROM IT AND IT WILL. MAKE YOU ANGRY. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING. IT FEELS A LITTLE INVASIVE. READING ANOTHER PERSON'S DIARY. BUT THIS ISN'T JUST ANYONE.

THIS IS A MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR. DEVASTATING LOCKDOWNS AND FOR. FUNDING THE TYPE OF EXPERIMENTS. THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED A MILLION. AMERICAN DEATHS. IF THERE IS A THEME FROM THIS. DIARY, WHICH IS OVER A THOUSAND. PAGES, IT IS THIS. DR. ANTHONY FAUCI IS DISHONEST, ALMOST ALWAYS WRONG, AND IS. INTOXICATED WITH FAME. >> R. >> Jesse: AS THOUSANDS OF. AMERICANS -- AS THOUSANDS OF.

AMERICANS WERE DYING EVERY DAY. HERE'S WHAT HE WROTE. THE PRESS IS GOING WILD WITH ME. IT'S NOT HYPERBOLE TO SAY I'M. THE MOST FAMOUS AND TALKED ABOUT. PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY AND ONE OF. THE MOST RECOGNIZED PERSONS IN. THE WORLD. THE SITUATION OF MY NATIONAL AND. INTERNATIONAL FAME IS EXPLOSIVE. AND REALLY UNIMAGINABLE. THE PRESS IS STILL HOT AND HEAVY. ABOUT ME. POTA SEEMS TO BE ENAMORED OF ME. EVEN THOUGH I'M TAKING THE. SPOTLIGHT AWAY FROM HIM. FAUCI IS WRITING ABOUT THE.

PRESS, LIKE IT'S A WOMAN HE'S. MAKING LOVE TO. DURING THE LOCKDOWNS FAUCI. APPARENTLY SPENT HOURS GOOGLING. HIMSELF, READING EVERY HOUR, EVEN GOING INTO THE COMMENTS. SECTION. ANTHONY WAS ON TYRA BANKS'. INSTAGRAM PAGE. YOU KNOW, AMERICA'S TOP MODEL. HE WRITES, DEAR DIARY, ONE. PERSON SAID THAT TIRE YEAH WAS. SEXY BUT THAT I WAS EVEN MORE. SEXY THAN SHE WAS. AND FAUCI AGREED. HE CLICKED ON A PETITION THAT. NAMED HIM SEXIEST MAN ALIVE AND.

HE MOTHERLYIZED THAT OVER 10,000. PEOPLE HAD SIGNED IT. DIDN'T WIN BUT AS A CONSOLATION. THEY CAST AMERICA'S SEXIEST MAN. ALIVE TO PLAY HIM. >> GOOD EVENING, I'M DR. ANTHONY. FAUCI. FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL. THE OLDER WOMEN IN AMERICA WHO. HAVE SENT ME SUPPORTIVE, INSPIRING AND SOMETIMES GRAPHIC. EMAILS. NOW, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF. MISINFORMATION OUT THERE ABOUT. THE VIRUS, AND, YES, THE. PRESIDENT HAS TAKEN SOME. LIBERTIES WITH OUR GUIDELINES.

>> Jesse: FAUCI KIND OF FELT. LIKE BRAD PITT. THEY ALL WANTED SELFIES WITH ME, HE WROTE. THEY EVEN WANTED ME AMONG. "DANCING WITH THE STARS.". HE WAS ENAMORED WITH THE STARS. WHO SUDDENLY, NOT SURE HOW, GOT. A HOLD OF HIS CELL. DEAR DIARY, HAD A GREAT CALL. WITH BARBRA STREISAND. I TOLD HER THAT I WORK LISTENING. TO HER SONGS ON ALEXA. SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT ALEXA WAS. I ACCIDENTALLY BUTT CALLED HER. LATER IN THE EVENING. I BROUGHT THE PHONE OVER TO.

ALEXA AND ASKED TO PLAY SONGS BY. BARBRA STREISAND, AND WHEN THE. SONG CAME ON LOUD AND CLEAR SHE. STARTED LAUGHING AND ABSOLUTELY. LOVED IT. AS SOMEONE WHO ALWAYS CONSIDERED. HIMSELF A CELEBRITY FINALLY THE. DOCTOR WAS GETTING HIS DUE. UNFORTUNATELY, FOR FAUCI TO. ACHIEVE CELEBRITY STATUS, AMERICANS HAD TO SUFFER. BUT FAUCI KNEW HE WAS DESTINED. FOR GREATNESS, EVEN BACK IN. 2013. HE WROTE IN HIS DIARY THAT HE. WAS A ROCK CEDAR AND THAT THE.

GOVERNMENT WAS TRYING TO KEEP. HIM OFF TV BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS. SO JEALOUS. SEVEN YEARS LATER, HIS TIME HAD. COME AND HE WAS GOING TO RIDE. IT. >> HERE'S ONE THAT SAYS, I GOT. MY FIRST DOSE OF THE FAUCI. OUCHY, TOLD HIM THAT I BOUGHT. HIS BOBBLEHEAD, AND HE WAS SUPER. COOL ABOUT IT. >> I SAW YOUR BOBBLEHEAD TODAY. >> DID YOU LIKE IT? >> YES, IT WAS AMAZING. GREAT. >> PEOPLE MADE FUN OF THESE DR. FAUCI CANDLES BUT WE GOT MY DAD.

ONE FOR HIS BIRTHDAY IN NOVEMBER. AND HE LIT IT EVERY NIGHT AND. EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY WAS FULLY. VACCINATED SO MAYBE THERE IS. SOMETHING THERE. >> Jesse: WAS DR. FAUCI BUSY. TRYING TO SLOW THE SPREAD? APPARENTLY, HE HAD PLENTY OF. TIME TO WRITE ABOUT HIS FACE. BEING PLASTERED EVERYWHERE. DEAR DIARY, DOUGHNUTS ARE BEING. NAMED AFTER ME. T-SHIRTS HAVE MY PICTURE ON THEM. AND ARE BEING SOLD. SAN FRANCISCO RADIO IS. DEDICATING A SIGN TO ME. COLORING PICTURES WITH CRAYONS. FOR MY PICTURE.

ME, ME, ME, ME. FAUCI EVEN SAVED CARTOONS OF. HIMSELF OF HIM LOOKING LIKE A. SUPER HERO. HERO WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF HIS. FAVORITE WORDS. IN HIS DIARY HE MENTIONED IT 50. TIMES. HIS FAVORITE WORD, THOUGH, NOT. 95 OR NATURAL IMMUNITY, THOSE. WORDS BARELY UTTERED. IT WAS PRESS. PRESS. MENTIONED OVER 600 TIMES. FOR FAUCI, DOING PRESS WAS LIKE. WATCHING PORN. >> THE SINGLE MOST RESPECTED. VOICE IN THE PANDEMIC, IT'S DR.

ANTHONY FAUCI. >> THE MAN WHO HAS BECOME KNOWN. AS AMERICA'S DOCTOR. THE NATION'S TOP INFECTIOUS. DISEASE DOCTOR. >> SEEN AS MANY AS A SUPER HERO. >> DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, AMERICAN. HERO. >> Jesse: FAUCI AND THE MEDIA. WERE SO ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER. THEY TACT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. TAPPER AND HIS WIFE INVITED. FAUCI OVER FOR DINNER. A THREESOME, AT THE HEIGHT OF. THE PANDEMIC.

DEAR DIARY, HAD DINNER AT THE. TAPPER HOME IN D.C., FRIENDSHIP. BUILDING, AND THERE WAS A SECOND. DATE. DEAR DIARY, HAD DINNER AT MY. HOME WITH JAKE AND JENNIFER. TAPPER, RELAXED, GOOD TIME. JAKE CLEARLY BELIEVES THAT TRUMP. IS TOTALLY NUTS. THOSE DINNER DATES HAPPENED IN. THE SUMMER AND FALL OF 2020, DEEP IN THE HEART OF THE. LOCKDOWN. THOUSANDS OF DEATHS A DAY AT. THAT POINT. FAUCI HAD EVERYONE QUARANTINED. BUT THIS IS WHAT FAUCI TOLD YOU. >> BUT WE'VE GOT TO PUT ALL OF.

THOSE THINGS TOGETHER, JAKE, WE. CAN'T JUST WISH IT HAPPENING. WE'VE GOT TO GET THE VACCINE, IT'S GOT TO BE DEPLOYED AND WE. CAN'T ABANDONED FUNDAMENTAL. PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES. >> SO NOT UNTIL THE SECOND. QUARTER OR THIRD QUARTER OF. 2021, THOUGH, IT'S PROBABLY NOT. GOING TO BE POSSIBLE? >> YES. >> Jesse: FAUCI CAN HAVE JAKE'S. FAMILY OVER FOR A FRIENDLY. DINNER BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR. FAMILY OVER FOR CHRISTMAS. DINNER. TAPPER IS NOW LINKED TO TWO OF. THE BIGGEST COVER-UPS IN U.S.

HISTORY, BIDEN AND COVID. THIS WAS THE SECOND CHRISTIAN. HOLIDAY FAUCI CANCELED. IN THE SPRING, TRUMP DEMANDED. THAT WE OPEN AFTER 30 DAYS, SO. WE COULD HAVE EASTER. DEAR DIARY, POTUS INVITED ME AND. DEB INTO HIS INTEROFFICE AT THE. OVAL AND STARTED TELLING ME AS A. CATHOLIC HOW MUCH OF A SHAME IT. WOULD BE IF WE DID NOT DO A. CLASSICAL EASTER AND GOOD FRIDAY. PALM SUNDAY. I CONVINCED HIM TO ESSENTIALLY. PUT EASTER ON HOLD FOR THIS. YEAR.

A MONTH BEFORE EASTER, FAUCI. TOLD THE COUNTRY THAT THE COVID. FATALITY RATE WAS EXTREMELY. DANGEROUS. >> THE MORTALITY FOR THIS IS. ABOUT 2 TO 2.5%. IT'S PROBABLY LOWER THAN THAT. IT'S PROBABLY CLOSER TO ONE. BUT EVEN IF IT'S ONE, IT'S 10. TIMES MORE LETHAL THAN THE. SEASONAL FLU. >> Jesse: BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HE. WROTE IN HIS DIARY. HE SAID THE FATALITY RATE WAS. ACTUALLY CLOSER TO ZERO. DIDN'T MATTER. IN HIS DIARY HE WAS BRAGGING.

ABOUT SHUTTING DOWN THE COUNTRY. I SPOKE WITH BILL deBLASIO, THE. MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY, AND. CONVINCED HIM, BASED ON WHAT I. WAS SAYING PUBLICLY, AND MY. CONVERSATION TONIGHT, TO CLOSE. THE NYC SCHOOLS. HE HAD ALREADY DECIDED BASED ON. WHAT I WAS SAYING ON TV AND I. WENT ON TO TELL HIM HE SHOULD. CLOSE THE BARS AND RESTAURANTS. IN NEW YORK CITY. FAUCI SAID HE SPOKE TO NEWSOM. WHO DID THE SAME THING WITH. CALIFORNIA. BUT AFTERWARDS, HE WAS LIKE, WHO, ME?

>> I WONDER IF YOU WOULD. RECOMMEND LOCKING DOWN SCHOOLS. IF YOU HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER. AGAIN? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, FIRST. OF ALL, I DIDN'T RECOMMEND. LOCKING ANYTHING DOWN. [CHUCKLES]. >> Jesse: SCHOOLS WERE SHUTTED. FOR YEARS BASED OFF FAUCI'S. RECOMMENDATIONS. ISOLATED AN ENTIRE GENERATION, SET THEM BACK SOCIALLY, ACADEMICALLY, ALIENATED TO HIM. BOYS COULDN'T PLAY SPORTS. WHEN NONE OF FAUCI'S. RECOMMENDATIONS WERE WORKING HE. WROTE THAT HE WAS LOSING SLEEP. OVER IT.

"WHAT IS EVOLVING IS THAT STATES. THAT ARE NOT OPENING UP THUS. FAR, ARE NOT SEEING AN INCREASE. IN CASES. IN FACT, SOME ARE SEEING. DECREASES.". BUT, DID HE PIVOT? NO, HE CALLED ANYONE WHO. DISAGREED WITH HIM A MORON. AND THE MEDIA, THEY SAW THE. TREND, TOO, BUT THEY STILL. TREATED HIM LIKE A HERO, FOR. SHUTTING DOWN THE COUNTRY FOR A. VIRUS HE KNEW WASN'T THAT. DEADLY. AND DEFINITELY DIDN'T AFFECT. CHILDREN AND THEN HE FORCED. EVERYBODY TO GET THE SHOT, AND.

HERE'S HOW HE SOLD IT THE FIRST. TIME. WATCH. >> IF YOU'RE VACCINATED YOU. DON'T HAVE A RISK AND THAT'S THE. REASON WHY WE SAY IT'S AS SIMPLE. AND BLACK AND WHITE. YOU VACCINATE, YOU'RE SAFE. YOU'RE UNVACCINATED YOU'RE AT. RISK. AS SIMPLE AS THAT. >> Jesse: IN HIS DIARY HE KNEW. THAT WASN'T TRUE. I'M WELL AWARE THAT MANY PEOPLE. WHO ARE VACCINATED ARE STILL. GETTING INFECTED AND THAT. WORRIED ME A LOT. BUT FAUCI WAS WRONG YET AGAIN, BUT WENT ON TV EVERY DAY AND. TOLD EVERYBODY TO JUST SHUT UP.

AND GET VACCINATED. IF YOU QUESTIONED THIS YOU WERE. SILENCED. THE GOVERNMENT EVEN GOT SILICON. VALLEY TO TAKE DOWN JOKES ABOUT. FAUCI, LIKE HE WAS THE PROPHET. MOHAMMED. AMERICANS HAD REAL DOUBTS ABOUT. HOW THIS VIRUS CAME OUT OF. CHINA. >> THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE, I. DON'T SEE ANY EVIDENCE THAT'S. CONCRETE AT ALL, THAT IT'S A LAB. LEAK EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF PEOPLE. TALK ABOUT IT.

I CITY THEY WILL IT'S A. POSSIBILITY BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN. ANY EVIDENCE. >> Jesse: IN HIS LITTLE DIARY AT. THE TIME FAUCI WROTE THAT A. DOZEN OF HIS TOP SCIENTISTS. BELIEVED IT CAME FROM THAT. SLOPPY WUHAN LAB. THIS WAS THE SAME LAB THAT FAUCI. FUNDED. THIS WAS THE LAB DOING THE RISKY. GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH ON. BATS, THAT FAUCI WAS OBSESSED. WITH. THIS IS THE LIAR THAT CNN WAS. FAN GIRLING ABOUT WHILE AMERICAN. LIVES WERE GETTING CRUSHED. EVEN DOCTORS WHO USED TO HAVE.

FAUCI'S BACK NOW WANT NOTHING TO. DO WITH HIM. >> HAVING A REPUTATION TOTALLY. IN THE TOILET AT 85 YEARS --. DOES THAT HOLD HIM TO ACCOUNT. FOR WHAT HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR? >> THE TONY FAUCI I SAW IN THOSE. EMAILS IS NOT THE TONY FAUCI I. KNEW OVER THE YEARS. >> Jesse: FAUCI HAS NEVER. UTTERED A SINGLE REGRET. EVEN TRUMP SAYS HE MAKES. MISTAKES. ONE OF THOSE MISTAKES, HE SAYS, WAS LISTENING TO FAUCI. BUT ANTHONY GAVE HIMSELF AN.

A-PLUS. DEAR DIRERY, MOST PEOPLE. EXPRESSING OUTRAGE THAT THE. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE SO. BUMBLING AND INCOMPETENT TO. DISCREDIT THE MOST CREDIBLE. SCIENTIST IN THE WORLD. I MUST SAY I DID EXTRAORDINARILY. WELL. THE DEATH RATE IN THE U.S. WAS. WAY HIGHER THAN MOST OF THE. DEVELOPED WORLD. BUT FAUCI WAS LOBBYING OTHER. SCIENTISTS TO NOMINATE HIM FOR. SCIENCE AWARDS. AWARDS THAT GAVE HIM A MILLION. BUCKS. AND DID FAUCI RECEIVE ROYALTIES. FROM THE VACCINE? DID HE HAVE A FINANCIAL INTEREST.

IN LOCKDOWNS AND VACCINATION. MANDATES? WE DON'T KNOW BUT HIS DIARY DOES. SUGGEST HE DIDN'T WANT THE. VACCINE APPROVED BEFORE THE. ELECTION BECAUSE IT WOULD HELP. TRUMP AND HE MAY HAVE PLAYED A. ROLE IN DELAYING IT. IS THIS THE DIARY OF A HUMBLE. DOCTOR FOLLOWING THE SCIENCE AND. WORKING TIRELESSLY TO HELP THE. COUNTRY GET THROUGH A PANDEMIC? NOT REALLY. LOOKS LIKE THE DIARY OF AN. INSECURE VILLAIN, WHO GOT HIS 15.

MINUTES OF FAME AND THEN TRIED. TO MILK IT. SHOULD A DOCTOR BE PROUD WHEN A. MILLION AMERICANS DIE ON HIS. WATCH? SMALL BUSINESSES, BANKRUPTCIES, STOCK MARKET PLUMMETING, SOCIAL. ISOLATION. YOU REALLY WANT TO BE FAMOUS FOR. THAT? FAUCI KNEW HE BLEW IT. AND HE DESPERATELY IS SEEKING. FAME AND GLORY TO TREAT A GUILTY. CONSCIENCE. ON WEDNESDAY, WE'RE GOING TO. HEAR SOME ANSWERS. WHEN HE TESTIFIES IN FRONT OF. SENATE RAND PAUL'S SENATE. COMMITTEE FIRST THING IN THE.
