Dr. Anthony Fauci sat in front of the Senate this week and refused to answer a single question — pleading the Fifth Amendment 111 times. Republicans wanted answers on his role in the Covid pandemic. Instead, they got the same 24-word sentence, over and over.

But does a presidential pardon actually protect him from pleading the Fifth? We break down the two legal arguments — Fauci's team says yes, DeSantis and Rand Paul say no — and why Florida just opened its own investigation regardless of what happens in Washington.

Tonight I'm joined by independent journalist Jason Lavigne to break down the hearing, the legal fight over the pardon, and what happens next. We also get into Alberta — the $13 billion Meta data centre, the $70 billion Wonder Valley project, and the new Trans Mountain pipeline deal — and what it means for the Alberta independence movement.
