Dr. Fauci was paid a salary higher than the President and qualified for the largest federal retirement pension in US history. Fox News reports Fauci and his wife Dr. Christine Grady "reported a combined $12.6 million net worth in 2021" – up from $7.6 million in 2019, before the pandemic. But after his former top advisor Dr. David Morens pleaded guilty to attempting to conceal COVID documents, Fauci's team has launched the "Anthony S. Fauci M.D. Legal Defense Fund" in preparation for expected the costs of his legal cases. "If Fauci is tried in federal court," writes John Leake, "the entire rotten edifice of complicit federal agencies would also be exposed, so don't hold your breath for the Justice Department to prosecute him." Also on today's show: chef Palmer Fortune, who got his sixth DUI in November 2005 with $120 to his name, borrowed $5,000 to get into a North Georgia recovery house, and stayed 19 months. He now owns Palmer's Hot Chicken, Porch, and Palmer's Village Café on St. Simon's Island, Georgia, and hires employees working to get sober.
