OK, this is how you do these ambushes like O\u2019Keefe. You got to be respectful because they\u2019ll turn the tables on you and you can\u2019t have it blow up in your face. So if you see Fauci out and about and you know he\u2019s coming to town, this is how you approach. First, you identify yourself, you say, My name\u2019s Thompson. I\u2019m from da da da da da address. Do you mind Dr. Fauci if I ask you a few questions? You say No, you were polite. So if he says No, no, no, no. Not right now you say No, no, no. We\u2019re going to address this right now. That\u2019s how you turn the tables and you start with an aggressive posture. Then you hit him with the first question. The first question can\u2019t be a yes or no question because his answer can just be yes or no. You got to elicit. It has to be a how or why. So what you do with Anthony Fauci is, you say Dr. Fauci, why did you lie? OK? Why did you lie? I love that question. Why did you lie when you said that you didn\u2019t fund gain of function research at the Wuhan lab? Now Fauci, you did, funded it. So he\u2019s either going to deny it, he can\u2019t deny it because he\u2019s going to lie again, or he\u2019s going to be just going to speak gibberish. You let him talk. Get it on tape with your iPhone or your buddies iPhone. I don\u2019t have time to get this technicality on it, but you let him talk. And here\u2019s your follow up. Here\u2019s a little trick of the trade. Keep a little document in your pocket. All right. This is the grant that funded the research. It\u2019s in your pocket and you can print it out. It\u2019s on the internet. You know what it is, or if it\u2019s a blank sheet of paper, you hold the sheet of paper up for effect. You said, I have your grant right here, Dr. Fauci. You wave it in his face. You wave that in his face for the camera, for flare. And then you read it to him. Right? You say it says right here. 2014, eight hundred grand. This is your agency. Why do you continue to lie doctor and you wave it? Now that\u2019s \u2013 I mean, this guy\u2019s scrambling at this point. You have the goods, you have the goods because he\u2019s been able to dodge and weave on ABC and NBC. No one\u2019s ever hit him in the face like this. Not even Rand Paul has been able to get in his face and point with a grant in his face. So then he\u2019s in trouble. Now you go in for the kill shot. The kill shot with an ambush, deadly, because he doesn\u2019t see it coming. This is when you say. Dr. Fauci, you funded risky research at a sloppy Chinese lab, the same lab that sprung this pandemic on the world. You know why people don\u2019t trust you, don\u2019t you? Oh, he is dead. He\u2019s dead. He\u2019s done. Now you do that in 30 seconds. So you need 30 seconds. Now you get that footage to us. You get it to Fox. You get it to human events. You get it to Breitbart.
