In 2002 you may remember all the smart people in Washington assured us in fact

commanded us to believe that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass

destruction, Kim Bio-Maybe nuclear and the next year in the basis of those claims we invaded Iraq, but it turns

out those claims were false. So now did not possess those stockpiles. But here's the

interesting thing. The people who told us that, who commanded us to believe them never apologized.

There was no contrition, there was certainly no punishment, and because there wasn't, those people

continue to ascend the hierarchy within Washington.

They now run the federal government. And as a result of that, these same unwise people have led us down the same unwise paths again and again in the 20 years since.

So that doesn't work as a management strategy.

Letting people get away with massive screw-ups and then promoting them.

You'd hate to see something like that happen after COVID. You would hate to see the people responsible for

the lockdowns and the vaccine strategy dividing the nation on the basis of

medical status. You'd hate to see those people go unpunished. Indeed be rewarded. And so in an effort to prevent that from

happening we're going to speak today to someone who called it right and was

not rewarded for it. In fact was reviled for it, but hasn't stopped. His name is Alex Berenson,

he joins the sunset now. Alex Berenson, great to see it.

Good to see you, Tagra. I think the guilty should be punished, not mercilessly, but fairly in the way that you would spank a child, and

that the virtuous should be rewarded.

And on this topic, you are the virtuous.

So I just want to frame this conversation around a conversation that we had in January of

2022 and that conversation was described by the Washington Post as the most

dishonest and dangerous segment ever to air on our show.
