Julius Caesar. Fauci is Brutus, Trump is Caesar, Covid-19 is the assassination attempt, De Santis is Mark Anthony.

I have a question. In retrospect, lockdowns were not appropriate or necessary.

Is there a scenario where lockdowns might truly be necessary, and if so, given the COVID debacle, would lockdown even be feasible?

To me, this is the important question, because sooner or later, sh!t is going to escape from a lab again and it may be much more contagious and lethal than this first draft of The Stand that we lived through.

Dr. Bhattacharya is a true American hero. He stood firm during persecution for speaking the truth to Dr. Fauci and the scientific power establishment.

I did not hear a whisper - not a whisper - of acknowledgement of the early concern of how bad the pandemic could be. The Manhattan Institute is driving to much of these of these podcasts.

I favor putting Dr. Fauci on trial for crimes against humanity. If convicted, he loses what is most precious to him: His reputation.

Has Jay ever been in a public conversation on this topic with a colleague who pushes back?

I'm not trying to be funny. If he has, I would love to see it. If not, can somebody please make it happen? Those of us who don't know this stuff don't wanna hear analysis from one side left unchallenged, especially at this point.

Up until now, JB's media appearances have been (seemingly) steeped in sympathetic waters--like Megyn Kelly.

Which is fine if you don't wanna hear pushback.

Fauci has gotten away with murder and has been richly rewarded for this. Everyone knows this but since he has the protection of important people there will be no repercussions. Even though there was a lack of intent as a top official he should have known better and will never pay a price.
