my guest is the soon to retire chief medical adviser to president biden, dr anthony fauci, the scientist at the centre of america s covid storm. what lessons has he learned? dr anthony fauci in bethesda, maryland, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. it s good to be with you. it s great to have you on the show. now, let s start with that big statement by president biden. the pandemic is over, he declared. do you agree with that view? well, certainly, if you re talking about the pandemic as a widespread disease throughout the world, it s not over. what the president was referring to. but it s understandable how there could have been some varied interpretations of that. he was referring to the very fulminant phase of the outbreak when, for example, in the united states, we were having about 800,000 to 900,000 infections a day and up to 3,000 to 4,000 deaths per day. we are not at that point now. we re much better off, but technically speaking, we still are in the middle of a pande
including air defence systems. now on bbc news, hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk. i m stephen sackur. last month, president biden told americans the covid pandemic was over. a striking statement, given that us covid deaths are still running at an average of close to 400 a day. the overall covid death toll in the states has topped 1 million. on many measures, america s pandemic performance has been relatively poor. my guest is the soon to retire chief medical adviser to president biden, dr anthony fauci, the scientist at the centre of america s covid storm. what lessons has he learned? dr anthony fauci in bethesda, maryland, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. it s good to be with you. it s great to have you on the show. now, let s start with that big statement by president biden. the pandemic is over, he declared. do you agree with that view? well, certainly, if you re talking about the pandemic as a widespread disease throughout the world, it s not over. what the president was re
first on this tuesday morning. i m currently tmorning.this situation looks like it s going to get much worse. opec set to meet to determine whether or not to buy $2 million of barrels per day per that s going to make inflation worse and drive prices up and would be a huge slap in the face to president biden who s been begging saudi arabia at increased output. voters, you really care about this but take a look at this recent fox news poll. 59% of voters say they are extremely concerned about inflation and higher prices. look, opec literally and figuratively has us over a barrel when no pun intended. and it s all because we had the ability to control the oil and gas production but we literally gave it away day one of the biden presidency. we are forwarding our own production. our strategic petroleum reserves are diminished to a point where we can t rely on it anymore giving them even more leverage from the point where we gave away our pipelines and shut down keystone. opec is

sincerely wish 79-year-old commander in chief a very quick recovery. this is not a good disease. i ve seen the worst of it, we wish him the best. coming up, dr. jackson, dr. safire, they will join us with analysis. the great one mark levin is here tonight. but first we begin with a january 6th committee. their big dramatic prime time grand finale playing out on capitol hill. soon the latest obsessive partisan anti-trump smear will come to a prophetic end, at least for now. they will probably try a few more hearings before it s all said and done. unsurprisingly, they did not establish a criminal case or reveal new damning evidence against president trump as they have promised that they would. a perfect example of people overpromising, not delivering. kind of like the trump/russia collusion hoax. remember adam schiff said with got all the evidence and we are proving there was real collusion. the only one that was caught on tape polluting where the russian prankster was adam sch
