the truth of. this fauci accuses paul of putting him in danger. what happens when he gets out and accuses me of things that are completely untrue, is that all of the sudden that kindles the crazies out there and i have threats upon my life. paul wasn t the only one who challenged fauci. do you more damage than good when it comes to educating the public on covid. i believe that s a real distortion of the reality. the perception is reality and you are hurting the team right now. fauci was later caught on a hot mic muttering about marshall after questions regarding his financial disclosures. what a moron. congress often reflects society. covid cases at the capitol are spiking. 71 members have now tested positive, 10 in the past four days, bret. more on this with the panel. chad, another topic from another hearing. several senators asking fbi officials today about whether
a time or a total of 15 minutes over a 24-hour period, in a situation where you have come into close contact. in terms of who should get tested, you should get tested if you have symptoms of covid-19. bret: okay. so which is it? bring this our panel syndicated radio host hugh hewitt. morgan ortagus former state department spokesperson and harold ford jr. former tennessee congressman. hugh, what was your take of this hearing today. this was a low moment, bret, for dr. fauci. he has had an honorable career. he has been much honored. but when you are calling the senator from kansas a moron, did he that with dr. marshall and you are arguing with dr. paul senator paul you have lost the two doctors on the committee. i thought it was particularly inappropriate for dr. fauci to bring up the assaults and threats on his family. look, it happens to everyone in public life. dr. paul was on the softball field in june of 2017 when bernie sanders supporter tried to kill dozens of republicans.
