That might have been the most entertaining but yet sad beatdown I think I\u2019ve ever seen. I\u2019ve met a talk shows 33 years, I\u2019ve never done that good a job senator. Take a bow.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>SEN. JOHN KENNEDY (R-LA): Well, I appreciate it. Sean it was said. And, and the people that President Biden has appointed to make policy for him, are the most radical folks I\u2019ve ever seen. And I\u2019m not, I\u2019m not saying, you know, just a reasonable disagreement. These are people that that have contempt for America. They have contempt for Americans. They think they\u2019re smarter and more virtuous than the American people who didn\u2019t vote for President Biden in their opinion. They think we\u2019re all a bunch of deplorables. We can\u2019t think for ourselves and they think democracy is, is too important to be left to the people. They ought to get to make all the decisions. And his nominee to the ATF. His copy of the Bill of Rights goes from amendment one to amendment three. I\u2019m convinced he doesn\u2019t believe in the Second Amendment. Now this is America, you don\u2019t believe what you want. But you can\u2019t ignore the Constitution when you take an oath of office to abide by. And these are just really radical people. And I just think that the Biden administration by virtue of its appointees, and otherwise, they just have this huge blind spot, about the lives and the problems of middle class America.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>HANNITY: You know, it is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, I would think you\u2019d have to have some fundamental knowledge of firearms. Let me move on to Dr. Flip Flop Fauci. And we were all called conspiracy theorists by people that push the biggest conspiracy theory ever and that is the Trump Russia collusion hoax lie. But now we know that China knew early. And now we have evidence and phone records and other anecdotal evidence that, in fact, that is where the virus came from. And China knew about it. And the greatest evidence they knew about it, Senator, is they had a travel ban. You couldn\u2019t leave Wuhan province and go anywhere else in China. You couldn\u2019t travel to Wuhan from the rest of China. But you can leave Wuhan and traveled to the world. Is there any doubt in your mind that China knew and hid it? And what should we do?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>KENNEDY: Well, we\u2019ll know and I\u2019m going to say a word about Dr. Fauci.&nbsp;I know Dr. Fauci. I respect Dr. Fauci. I\u2019m disappointed in Dr. Fauci. On too many issues, he has flip flopped, like a banked catfish. On too many other issues, Sean, you know, I\u2019m a simple guy. I like breakfast food and straight answers, and he won\u2019t give a straight answer. He dodges, bobs, weaves, rope-a-dopes. This is serious business. This is not some academic frolic. People\u2019s lives and livelihoods are at stake. Now, his agency, he gave money to the Wuhan lab that was playing around with this virus. He needs to tell us everything he knows about that. What did they use the money for? What could they have used the money for? He says they didn\u2019t do gain of function research. Gain of function just means they might have turned a benign harmless virus into a killer. And he said, well, they didn\u2019t use my money to do that. Well, how do you know? What other labs has he and his agency given money to in China or in the United States? Who else is doing this research trying to create Frankensteins? In terms of President Biden has, we\u2019ve now found that he has disbanded President Trump\u2019s task force that was trying to get to the bottom of where the virus came from. Why? Dr. Fauci he says he didn\u2019t know anything about it. Now I\u2019m not saying he did or didn\u2019t but he needs to be candid. And when he found out why wasn\u2019t he on the phone to President Biden racing fresh hell? And I understand Dr. Fauci doesn\u2019t like former President Trump that much and this is America, he\u2019s entitled to believe what he wants, but that\u2019s irrelevant to me. We\u2019ve got to find out where this virus came from so we can stop it from happening again. And if the Chinese are playing around with viruses, turning them into deadly killers, especially with our money, we need to know and we need to stop.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>HANNITY: I think they need to compensate the world just as a start. Last question. I only have a 30 seconds. Joe Biden denied any knowledge of Hunter\u2019s foreign dealings, business dealings. We now know he lied, Senator, what should the consequences be?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>KENNEDY: Well, President Biden needs to address this issue. President Obama put him in charge of the Foreign Affairs of two countries, China and Ukraine. And in both cases, his son walked away with millions of dollars worth of contracts. You know the message that sends to the world? American foreign policy can be bought, like a sack of potatoes. And President Biden needs to hit this one to head-on.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
