Rick Robinson continues his examination of Anthony Fauci’s pandemic-era record, focusing on what survived, what may be missing, and what congressional investigators can legally do next.

The episode examines “delete this email” records, David Morens’ alleged use of private Gmail, material from Fauci’s government-issued phone, subpoenas from Florida, West Virginia, and Louisiana, and whether President Biden’s pardon fully protects Fauci from state-level exposure. Rick also breaks down Fauci’s Fifth Amendment claims, the Senate committee’s 8–5 contempt vote, and the important legal difference between holding a witness in contempt and granting immunity.

In Hour Two, Rick turns to a news cycle that refused to wait: a disappointing July jobs report, birthright citizenship and birth tourism, Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general, negotiations involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, war polling, Oklahoma’s proposed $4 billion aluminum smelter, litigation surrounding the Washington ballroom project, and new rules governing the release of ICE body-camera footage.

Across both hours, the central question remains the same: When government officials exercise enormous power, will they preserve the evidence, follow the law, and show the American people their work?
