ebt cancellation thing and that makes sense. The strong argument that why would you take money from poor people and give it to rich people which is at least partly what happens with student loan forgiveness because a lot of the student loans are for people who had money or at least came from families that did have money.

We're going to I guess we'll have to talk about the Fauci hearing. I just hate the whole Fauci situation but I guess I got to talk about it in a minute. But first Biden is at some kind of fundraiser and this is what he said about Trump. Here's what's becoming clearer and clearer every day — this is Biden talking — the threat that Trump poses would be greater in his second term than it was in his first term. You mean the zero risk of his first term where we observed nothing happening of any consequence might be worse than zero? It could be two times zero if you know what I mean. Twice as bad as zero. Wait, two times zero, that's still zero.

All right. He says this isn't the same Trump who got elected in 2016. He's worse. Oh this is new. The argument is that he's a new worse Trump. I wonder what made Trump so angry. Did anything happen to Trump between 2016 and now that would make him angry? And then he says something snapped in him when he lost in 2020. He can't accept he lost and is literally driving him crazy. Now he's running again. He's not only obsessed with losing in 2020, he is clearly unhinged. Called him a convicted felon.

Now this is more of what I call the imaginary campaign. So we've got a president that's probably imaginary, meaning he's probably not the one making any decisions. And the imaginary president is saying he should be reelected to another imaginary term because there's a greater risk of his imagination of what a second term of Trump would look like. And that he imagines what Trump is thinking and he imagines that there are bad stuff in his head and he imagines that he snaps and imagines that he's unhinged. It literally is a campaign all about Biden's imagination. So the imagination of a dementia patient is now the main planks of the Democratic Party. And do you know who thinks that's a good idea? Apparently Alex Soros. He thinks the imaginary campaign is the way to go. Yeah because that all the chaos — is it imaginary? Oh let's ask the smartest person in politics, Kara Swisher. Oh no the chaos. Oh no he's going to steal my democracy. He already took my norms. He's got my norms. He's going to steal my democracy and he's going to bring his chaos. Are there any people who are Democrats who are living in the real world? The actual world where the border's open and inflation is high? Can they see that? No it's the chaos. He steal my democracy. He took my norms. I think he's snapping. I think he's unhinged. Could be worse than the first term.

Well it's Congress versus Dr. Fauci. Here's what we know about it. David Sacks had a great summary of it but I'll summarize his summary. That Fauci funded gain of function when he was in Wuhan that he knew and wrote about that was a very risky proposition but he thought it was worth the risk. Sure enough that risk happened. The virus got out. And then when pressed about it he's allegedly lied about it and he attacked his critics who were claiming it's true. Now these are things which he would say never happened. Of course he would have his own version of that. He says he's not the one who came up with that six-foot distancing rule. That was the CDC. But some would say well maybe you didn't come up with it but you certainly seem to be a little too happy about it. He claims that the unvaccinated are responsible for 200 to 300,000 deaths. So there, believe the science, case closed. Literally nobody in the room believed that, at least not the Republicans.

And Representative Jim Jordan asked him, quote, you agree that there was a push to downplay the lab leak theory? Fauci looked at him directly and said none on my part. I kept an open mind through the whole process. Now as others have said that's not how we remembered it. But I'm going to push back on that's not how we remembered it. We don't have a good memory of this. Do you think that your memory of what Fauci did or did not do is accurate? Probably not. From my — this is based on hypnosis experience. If you go through a situation exactly like this the most predictable thing I could tell you is you'll have massive false memories of what Fauci did or did not do. Because he's sort of the receptacle of all your hate. You know all the bad experience that you had during the pandemic ends up getting focused because we like to blame a person and he's a kind of a handy one to blame.

So I've listened to all the accusations against him and I've heard his weaselly excuses for why he's not guilty. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle on this one. Somewhere in the middle. I think there's some things he's being blamed about that maybe he's got an argument for. There are things he's blamed for that he definitely doesn't have an argument for. Apparently he'd been trying to dice this whole question about gain of function that I guess he got redefined at some point and the redefinition was pushed by the people who wanted to do the work. So the people who wanted to do the work in the Wuhan lab, the stuff that got out, they couldn't have done it under an old definition of gain of function. So they worked to change the definition. And the definition was well it could gain a function but it can't be more, it can't be worse for humans or it can't be more than 10
