Thank you,
Mr Chairman Dr. Fauci when is
the time when is the time well
in your written statement you
say now is not the time to pull
back on masking physical
distancing and avoiding
congregate settings when is
the time when do Americans get
their freedom back can you put
your microphone please all right
when we get the level
of infection in this country low
enough that it is not a really
high what is low enough give me
a number I mean we had 15 days
to slow the spread turn into one
year of lost liberty what
metrics what measures what has
to happen before Americans get
more freedoms my message
Congressman Jordan is to get
as many
people vaccinated as quickly
as we possibly can to get
the level of infection in this
country low that it is no longer
a threat that is when and I
believe when that happens you
will see what determines when
I'm sorry what what measure I
mean are we just going
to continue this forever when
does when does when do we get
to the point what measure what
standard what objective outcome
do we have to reach before
before Americans get
their liberty and freedoms back
you know you're indicating
liberty and freedom I look at it
as a public health measure
to prevent people from dying
and going to the hospital you
don't think Americans liberties
have been
threatened the last year Dr.
Fauci they've been assaulted
their liberties have I
don't look at this as a liberty
thing Congressman Jordan well
that's obvious as a public
health thing but I disagree with
you on that the Constitution is
suspended during during a virus
during a pandemic it's certainly
not this will end for sure when
we get the level of infection
very low it is now at such
a high level there's a threat
again of major suffering Dr.
Fauci over the last year
Americans first Amendment rights
have been completely attacked
your right to go to church
your right to assemble
your right to petition
your government freedom
of the press,
freedom of speech have all been
assaulted for a year now
Americans haven't been able
to go to church even today when
they go to church are limiting
the size of worshippers who can
meet your right to assemble Oh
my goodness we had a curfew last
fall in Ohio you had to be
in your home at 10:00
in Pennsylvania,
you had to be in your home when
you're in your home you had
to wear a mask in Vermont when
you're in your home you
didn't have to wear a mask Dr.
Fauci because you
weren't allowed to have people
over to your House Yeah
Congressman John your ability
to petition your government
for a year for a year American
citizens haven't been able
to come to their capital
to petition their government
to talk to their Representatives
and freedom of the press these
very pictures that represent
these just showed you and talked
about guess what the press
isn't allowed in those
facilities the press is not
the Biden administration will
not let the press in there and
certainly freedom of speech I
mean freedom from the governor
of our third largest state meets
with with physicians
and that's that that video is
censored because they dare
to disagree with Dr. Fauci so I
just want to know when
the Americans get their First
Amendment liberties back you
know I don't think anything was
censored because they felt they
couldn't disagree with me I
think you're you're making this
a personal thing and it
isn't it's not a personal thing
no you are that is exactly what
you're doing no
your recommendations carry a lot
of weight Dr. Fauci we just had
the chair of the Financial
Services Committee said she
loves you
and you're the greatest thing
in the world well I mean you are
consistent will the gentleman
yield no it's fine how can I
answer the question please
my recommendations are not
a personal recommendation
it's based on the CDC guidance,
which is and I'm asking
the question, what measures have
to be attained before Americans
get their First Amendment
liberties I just told you that I
know you haven't given anything
specific you said, we hope when
this tell me right now right now
we have about 60,000 infections
a day, which is a very large
risk for research we're not
talking about liberties
we're talking about a pandemic
that has killed 560,000
Americans and I'm talking about.
And I don't disagree with that.
And I understand how serious
that is but I also said
it's pretty serious when
businesses have been shut down
people can't go to church people
can assemble in their own homes
with their friends, with
their families.
People can't go to a loved
one's funeral people can't get
to their government petition
their representative to redress
their grievances.
I also understand the First
Amendment is pretty darn
important and it's been a year
and I want to know when
Americans will get those First
Amendment liberties back what
you just said people cannot
assemble in their own homes.
They can That's a CDC
recommendation for vaccine last
fall they couldn't I didn't that
last fall they couldn't I
didn't hear what he said German
time has expired I'll give you
one instance but when we can get
our liberties back.
It's been 90% of the members
in the United States Congress
get invested well I want to know
if that's what Dr. falses is it
90 plus what is it 90%
that's what I'm that's what
I'd like to know give me some
give us some objective standards
versus when certain things get
rich we might be able to get
back to having our liberty when
what are the numbers
you're going to see a gradual
from the right now
we're at an unacceptably high
level we're on a daily basis.
It's unacceptably high
regardless of who you are,
what you're going to see as more
and more people get vaccinated
and we get over three million
people a day you're going to see
the level of infection come down
and down and gradually there
will be more flexibility
for doing the things that
you're talking where does it get
to when it comes down what
number do we get our liberties
back tell me the number not only
the number and 90%
of the members of Congress get
vaccinated but you're not
a doctor Mr Clyburn he is what
is the number I can't give
for recognizing me Mr Clyburn
thank you for not recognizing
my question and if I claim
in my time I to claim in
my order regular order said Mr
Mr Chairman Mr Chairman,
I don't want you to answer
my question the American people
what Dr. Fauci to answer
the question, what does it have
to be here sir if you need
to respect the chair and shut
your mouth don't worry about
this we're going to handle this
and I think Mr Jordan knows me
very well and he knows full well
we're going to handle this
your time has expired
and the chair and our record
thank.
