BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Roger Stone Provides Statement in Response to Social Media Giants Censoring His Free Speech Rights

Earlier today Jacob Engels at TGP reported Facebook and Instagram have deleted the verified personal account of Roger Stone on Facebook , his media outlet Stone Cold Truth , and even his Instagram account ahead of his July 14th surrender date to a Coronavirus infested prison in Georgia .
Stone is currently appealing Judge Amy Berman Jackson ’ s decision to deny him a reprieve due to concerns over his history of respiratory health problems and the fact that the federal correctional institute that he has been assigned has a history of the China coronavirus .
Stone was given no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ banned and called it a “ railroad job ” meant to silence him as he fights for a pardon from his longtime friend President Donald Trump .

STATEMENT OF ROGER STONE
I am being censored by Facebook and Instagram because my social media postings expose the truth regarding the now discredited Mueller investigation and the Russian Collusion hoax, as well as the unfairness of my trial in 2020 (to the extent possible without violating the protective seal left in place by the court) and because I am an outspoken supporter of President Trump. After being unconstitutionally gagged by the judge in my case, I have utilized social media to correct the substantial number of willful inaccuracies reported about the President, me, my case and my trial over the last 16 months. Democracy dies in darkness.
The reasons for this extraordinary act of censorship which Facebook and Instagram give is entirely fabricated, totally lacking in any proof and part of a larger effort to censor supporters of the President, Republicans and conservatives on social media platforms. Words on a piece of paper or an e-mail are not proof. False testimony to an FBI Agent or a Grand Jury are not proof. The extraordinary blend of hearsay, perjury, obfuscation and fantasy that flowed from the mouth of Aaron Zelinsky in his sworn testimony last week is not proof.
The claim that I have utilized or controlled unauthorized or fake accounts on any platform is categorically and provably false. This false claim was included by the Special Counsel in their request for search warrants which included the testimony of an unidentified witness who claimed I controlled hundreds of Facebook accounts. The search warrant was not accompanied by any proof or evidence that this was the case, that’s because it is categorically false. I would also point out that when they received their search warrants they found no evidence whatsoever to verify this false claim which is now being recycled by Facebook and Instagram.
The establishment of a legitimate web or blog site to produce legitimate and constitutionally protected content and to open a social media page to promote or post that unique content, as I have done for each of the five books I have written for example, neither violates the rules of Facebook or the law.
The false claims from the thought police in Menlo Park seem to be evolving, including the assertion that I used “fake” websites to push the 2016 disclosures by Wikileaks. This is another whopper although I would note that every news organization that requested comment from me today reported extensively about the content of those releases while at no time challenged their authenticity or accuracy. As for the use of Facebook to sway political attitudes, I thought that was why Facebook sold political advertising.
I have never owned or controlled any fake Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts. This will be among many, many other issues in the formal complaints that will soon be filed against the prosecutors in my case with the office of Professional Responsibility at the Department of Justice and the DC Bar. In this case it is just one example of their making representations to the court for which they lacked evidence to even justify a claim of probable cause.
The assertion my accounts have any formal or informal connection to the Proud Boys is categorically and provably false. The banning of individuals who may choose to repost things that I have posted is an even more extraordinary act of inappropriate censorship. Any person has a right to repost anything I post on their own legitimate social media page. To claim that anyone who does so is somehow illegitimate or under my control or direction is nonsensical
Because the claims by those taking this action are defamatory I will bring immediate legal action against the corporate parents of the social media platforms. It will soon be put up or shut up time. Words in a press release are not proof.
I will not be silenced and the truth regarding the fraudulence of the entire Russian collusion narrative, the illegitimacy of the Mueller investigation or unfairness of my trial (without violating the court ordered seal still in place). I will not be silenced about a biased judge in my case, a corrupt Jury Forewoman and a politically motivated prosecution which defrauded the court on multiple occasions and engaged in other misconduct which will be exposed in multiple formal complaints to the Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility in the coming days as well as in the two appeals I have filed with the DC Circuit of appeals. I would note that I was specifically prohibited from raising these issues at trial in a ruling by Judge Jackson which I believe was unconstitutional based on the US Supreme Court Ruling in Kyles v. Whitley.

It’s such an honor and such a blessing to be here in the greatest country in the world, the most prosperous country in the world, and we continue to grow. And that’s what we’re here to do today. Our company was founded in 1936 by my grandfather, who left Spain at only 18 years old. Did not know where he was heading, but he was heading and looking for opportunity and prosperity, and he found it in this great country. Today, our company is a multi-billion-dollar company with thousands of employees and with facilities all around the globe. We have a tremendous group of what we call “la gran familia Goya,”the Goya family — the great Goya family.

Hopefully, as the summer ends, we have new crops coming forward, but right now there’s — there is a shortage. So our employees and some partners we have in the industry wanted to donate 1 million cans of Goya chickpeas and a million pounds of food.

thegatewaypundit--2020-07-10--Larry C. Johnson: In Their Eagerness to Destroy Trump, Dems Are Destroying Black Lives and Black Fut

Larry C. Johnson: In Their Eagerness to Destroy Trump, Dems Are Destroying Black Lives and Black Futures

Black children are much more likely than white children to inhabit a home with a single mother who is not a college graduate .
Black children are much more likely to inhabit a home without access to the internet or even a computer .
And black children are much more likely than their white , asian and latino counterparts to need the food provided at school .
Covid fear mongering , in tandem with the BLM hysteria , is dramatically changing the landscape of education , from primary to post-graduate .
Until March 1st , 2020 , attending a class @ @ @ @ @ @ @ norm in the United States , but that model appears to be going the way of the one room school house that ruled the Great Plains during the 19th Century .
The vitriol and obsessive hatred consuming Democrat leaders and their sycophantic supporters is driving them to pursue policies intended to damage Donald Trump .
But the law of unintended consequences reigns supreme and the Dems actually are savaging the African American community .
Turns out that under the Democrat calculus , Black Lives really don ’ t matter .
So what is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kids out of school .
Blame it on Covid and hope that the blame sticks to Trump .
But the kids who are being most damaged by the coordinated effort of Democrat Governors/mayors and Democrat leaning teachers unions to keep the schools shuttered in the fall is not going to provoke an uprising against Trump .
It ain ’ t Trump ’ s call .
Black children in the modern Democrat plantations–aka urban centers–already are underserved and uneducated .
A black child in Baltimore is likely to pass through 12 grades and still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or cipher at grade level .
The Democrats ’ solution ?
Keep them at home .
The turmoil and disaster in the elementary and secondary schools is now going to be visited on a broad swath of colleges and universities .
Harvard and MIT already have announced no classes and no sports for the Fall season .
Who does that hurt most ?
Black athletes on scholarship .
The ugly truth of our current system is that college athletic programs have been a critical vehicle for ensuring black students , primarily males , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provide housing , meals , tuition , tutors and a discipline .
If you do not follow the rules you may not play .
The incentive of having to maintain a minimal grade point average has helped “ inspire ” athletes keen on staying in the good graces of their coaches to adopt the discipline of studying and attending class .
If you do not do the work you may not play .
What happens now when that incentive is erased ?
Moreover , what happens to those black athletes from single parent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or internet ?
How do “ on-line ” classes work for them ?
I do not think the damage will be confined to so-called amateur athletics .
There is likely to be spillover to the professional world .
The XFL is the most prominent casualty .
It is one of the earliest victims of Covid and with its demise jobs for more than 1000 black athletes disappeared .
Poof .
Gone .
When you mix Covid with the Black Lies Matter hoax you get a toxic brew that is likely to poison professional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fans want to go to games .
They don ’ t want to have their noses rubbed in politics of any kind .
They want to cheer their heroes and rail against opponents from some other part of America .
That is gone for this year .
Football is not a sport where you can social distance .
It is full body contact , both on the field and in the stands .
Anyone who has ever attended a Philadelphia Eagles game can attest to that .
A Washington Redskin fan , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ games dressed as a Souix Chief learned that the hardway .
He was assaulted and spat on .
Not because he was black but because he represented a team the Eagles traditionally despise .
The majority of football fans who attend the professional and collegiate football games are white .
They do not and will not tolerate being called racists .
They especially bristle at being labeled as racists by 20 year olds making more money in one year than many of these fans make in ten years .
Outraged fans will vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the final riches that once flowed freely through the NFL dry up who do you think will bear the burden of no money ?
Black athletes .
Hell , Helen Keller can see this coming .
My wife ’ s family has had Chiefs ’ season tickets since 1964 , when the team started playing in Kansas City .
But new rules for the upcoming season are leaving my brother-in-law with no choice .
He is giving up the family treasure after 56 years .
Why ?
He has been told that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his seats that are twenty rows from the field on 45 yard line right behind the Chiefs ’ bench .
Apparently the NFL has decided to vacate the first ten rows in all stadiums .
And each team is coming up with a different system that will only allow at most , 50 % of the fans , to attend .
I am told that the Baltimore Ravens , who normally fill their 81,000 seat stadium , will only permit 14,000 fans per game .
Last , but most critical , is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the major urban centers .
All are under the jack boot of Democrats .
With the vocal minority insisting on eliminating police–who despite media lies and propaganda , operate according to rules and under the power of the law–and replacing law enforcement with vigilante squads empowered by nothing more than capricious force .
Most black Americans in these communities are horrified by this prospect .
They are being left to fend for themselves and the early evidence points to a tidal wave of violence and mayhem .
The charade that Black Lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fraud in the coming weeks .
All Lives Matter .
The color of ones skin should not and can not dictate whether or not you can live in a safe neighborhood .
At present , responsible black parents can not let their children play outside without worrying legitimately that they will be gunned down by some crazed gang banger .
And yes , that gang banger is most likely black .
The Democrat and media mob persist in spreading the lie that police pose the primary threat to black men and black women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policing protects those black communities , or at least tries to do so .
The solution lies in fighting the lie that America is inherently racist .
We are not .
Our core values provide hope for all , not just for some .
This is where the battle line must be drawn and where the fight must take place .

Black children are much more likely than white children to inhabit a home with a single mother who is not a college graduate. Black children are much more likely to inhabit a home without access to the internet or even a computer. And black children are much more likely than their white, asian and latino counterparts to need the food provided at school.
Covid fear mongering, in tandem with the BLM hysteria, is dramatically changing the landscape of education, from primary to post-graduate. Until March 1st, 2020, attending a class and mingling with other students was the norm in the United States, but that model appears to be going the way of the one room school house that ruled the Great Plains during the 19th Century.
The vitriol and obsessive hatred consuming Democrat leaders and their sycophantic supporters is driving them to pursue policies intended to damage Donald Trump. But the law of unintended consequences reigns supreme and the Dems actually are savaging the African American community. Turns out that under the Democrat calculus, Black Lives really don’t matter.
So what is the Democrat solution? Keep the black kids out of school. Blame it on Covid and hope that the blame sticks to Trump. But the kids who are being most damaged by the coordinated effort of Democrat Governors/mayors and Democrat leaning teachers unions to keep the schools shuttered in the fall is not going to provoke an uprising against Trump. It ain’t Trump’s call.
Black children in the modern Democrat plantations–aka urban centers–already are underserved and uneducated. A black child in Baltimore is likely to pass through 12 grades and still be woefully unable to read, write or cipher at grade level. The Democrats’ solution? Keep them at home.
The turmoil and disaster in the elementary and secondary schools is now going to be visited on a broad swath of colleges and universities. Harvard and MIT already have announced no classes and no sports for the Fall season. Who does that hurt most? Black athletes on scholarship.
The ugly truth of our current system is that college athletic programs have been a critical vehicle for ensuring black students, primarily males, get a college education. These programs provide housing, meals, tuition, tutors and a discipline. If you do not follow the rules you may not play. The incentive of having to maintain a minimal grade point average has helped “inspire” athletes keen on staying in the good graces of their coaches to adopt the discipline of studying and attending class. If you do not do the work you may not play. What happens now when that incentive is erased? Moreover, what happens to those black athletes from single parent homes that still do not have computers or internet? How do “on-line” classes work for them?
I do not think the damage will be confined to so-called amateur athletics. There is likely to be spillover to the professional world. The XFL is the most prominent casualty. It is one of the earliest victims of Covid and with its demise jobs for more than 1000 black athletes disappeared. Poof. Gone.
When you mix Covid with the Black Lies Matter hoax you get a toxic brew that is likely to poison professional sports, especially football and basketball. Fans want to go to games. They don’t want to have their noses rubbed in politics of any kind. They want to cheer their heroes and rail against opponents from some other part of America. That is gone for this year.
Football is not a sport where you can social distance. It is full body contact, both on the field and in the stands. Anyone who has ever attended a Philadelphia Eagles game can attest to that. A Washington Redskin fan, a black man, who showed up at games dressed as a Souix Chief learned that the hardway. He was assaulted and spat on. Not because he was black but because he represented a team the Eagles traditionally despise.
The majority of football fans who attend the professional and collegiate football games are white. They do not and will not tolerate being called racists. They especially bristle at being labeled as racists by 20 year olds making more money in one year than many of these fans make in ten years. Outraged fans will vote with their feet and dollars. And as the final riches that once flowed freely through the NFL dry up who do you think will bear the burden of no money? Black athletes. Hell, Helen Keller can see this coming.
My wife’s family has had Chiefs’ season tickets since 1964, when the team started playing in Kansas City. But new rules for the upcoming season are leaving my brother-in-law with no choice. He is giving up the family treasure after 56 years. Why? He has been told that he will not be able to sit in his seats that are twenty rows from the field on 45 yard line right behind the Chiefs’ bench. Apparently the NFL has decided to vacate the first ten rows in all stadiums. And each team is coming up with a different system that will only allow at most, 50% of the fans, to attend. I am told that the Baltimore Ravens, who normally fill their 81,000 seat stadium, will only permit 14,000 fans per game.
Last, but most critical, is the carnage sweeping black neighborhoods and communities in the major urban centers. All are under the jack boot of Democrats. With the vocal minority insisting on eliminating police–who despite media lies and propaganda, operate according to rules and under the power of the law–and replacing law enforcement with vigilante squads empowered by nothing more than capricious force. Most black Americans in these communities are horrified by this prospect. They are being left to fend for themselves and the early evidence points to a tidal wave of violence and mayhem.
The charade that Black Lives Matter will be fully exposed as a fraud in the coming weeks. All Lives Matter. The color of ones skin should not and cannot dictate whether or not you can live in a safe neighborhood. At present, responsible black parents cannot let their children play outside without worrying legitimately that they will be gunned down by some crazed gang banger. And yes, that gang banger is most likely black.
The Democrat and media mob persist in spreading the lie that police pose the primary threat to black men and black women and black children. Nope. Effective policing protects those black communities, or at least tries to do so.
The solution lies in fighting the lie that America is inherently racist. We are not. Our core values provide hope for all, not just for some. This is where the battle line must be drawn and where the fight must take place.

thegatewaypundit--2020-07-09--WAYNE ROOT: Was This Our Last Fourth of July?

Was this past weekend the last time we will celebrate the 4thof July ?
Right now , that certainly looks possible .
About a decade ago I wrote the book , “ The Murder of the Middle Class.
” Don ’ t look now , but sadly…tragically…it ’ s really happening .
The left is crazy , extreme , radical , violent and ready for civil war .
The Republican right is…outside of President Trump…a bunch of pathetic wimps ready to raise the white flag .
We are the closest we ’ ve ever been to losing America .
Have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ politicians as we see today ?
Black Lives Matter is a Marxist group that funds the Democrat National Committee .
GOP Senator Mike Braun says he supports Black Lives Matter .
He also supports eliminating qualified immunity for cops .
That ’ s the end of police in America .
With Republicans like him , who needs enemies ?
TRENDING : Radical Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant Vows to Overthrow the United States and Replace with `` a Socialist World '' Senator Mitt Romney marched with Black Lives Matter .
How can anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ron Johnson , James Langford , and John Cornyn want to replace Columbus Day with “ Juneteenth ” as a national holiday ?
Talk about spineless cowards .
We are in the midst of a war to save America and clearly these are not people you want in your foxhole .
So , let ’ s ignore the Republican politicians .
They ’ re useless .
Now is the time…you either “ Stand for America ” or “ You Stand Against America.
” There is no middle ground .
It ’ s up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to save this country .
If Republican politicians are too weak , feckless , cowardly or corrupt to help us , it ’ s time to take the matter into our own hands .
“ If it is to be , it is up to me.
” Screw the politicians .
Get off the bench and get in the game .
If Trump isn ’ t re-elected , the Obama-Clinton-Biden-Pelosi-Soros cabal will quickly turn America into Venezuela .

The Bernie Sanders-AOC crowd now owns Biden .
He ’ s “ all in ” for the Green New Deal .

Let me issue this challenge to my fellow patriotic Americans : IT IS TIMEto stop being the “ Silent Majority , ” or we will soon be “ the Silent Minority , ” never to be heard from again .
It is time to stand up in your church , your neighborhood , your community , your children ’ s school .
It is time to speak the truth to family and friends .
Tell them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ raise taxes ; defund the police ; eliminate bail ; flood our neighborhoods with criminals and illegal aliens ; flood our suburban communities with multi-density , low-income public housing ; and destroy our economy with “ free ” everything .

It ’ s time to volunteer your time .
An hour a week , or two , or three , just for the next four months .
If we each make the commitment to change just a half dozen votes , or bring just a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who weren ’ t going to vote…we will win in an electoral landslide come November .

The Republican right is…outside of President Trump…a bunch of pathetic wimps ready to raise the white flag. We are the closest we’ve ever been to losing America.
Have you ever seen as many spineless Republican politicians as we see today? Black Lives Matter is a Marxist group that funds the Democrat National Committee. GOP Senator Mike Braun says he supports Black Lives Matter. He also supports eliminating qualified immunity for cops. That’s the end of police in America. With Republicans like him, who needs enemies?
Senator Mitt Romney marched with Black Lives Matter. How can anyone be such a dupe?
GOP Senators Ron Johnson, James Langford, and John Cornyn want to replace Columbus Day with “Juneteenth” as a national holiday? Talk about spineless cowards.
We are in the midst of a war to save America and clearly these are not people you want in your foxhole. So, let’s ignore the Republican politicians. They’re useless. Now is the time…you either “Stand for America” or “You Stand Against America.” There is no middle ground.
It’s up to us- the people. We need to save this country. If Republican politicians are too weak, feckless, cowardly or corrupt to help us, it’s time to take the matter into our own hands. “If it is to be, it is up to me.” Screw the politicians. Get off the bench and get in the game.
If Trump isn’t re-elected, the Obama-Clinton-Biden-Pelosi-Soros cabal will quickly turn America into Venezuela. Maduro proved how quickly it can be done. Democrats may not even need a second term. Although, with approval of mail-in voting and ballot harvesting, future terms for Democrats will never be in question…the votes will have been tallied beforethe elections.
And Basement Biden is no “moderate.” He’s now a hostage of the extreme radical left. The Bernie Sanders-AOC crowd now owns Biden. He’s “all in” for the Green New Deal. He just stated publicly “the police are the enemy.” His tax increases are four times bigger than Hillary’s socialist tax plan. And what was Biden’s response when asked if he supported trillions of dollars for reparations for black Americans? “Only if you include Native Americans.”
Biden will implement free health care, free college, guaranteed income, defund the police, open borders, and his personal favorite- destroy the suburbs with high-density, low-income public housing. And, that is only the start.
Wait until Democrats begin implementing all the thousands of climate change rules and regulations. Democrats will close the oil and gas industries, ban private cars, spend hundreds of billions for public transportation, ration water and power. Better start stocking up on toilet paper now. Venezuela here we come.
Let me issue this challenge to my fellow patriotic Americans:
IT IS TIMEto stop being the “Silent Majority,” or we will soon be “the Silent Minority,” never to be heard from again. It is time to stand up in your church, your neighborhood, your community, your children’s school. It is time to speak the truth to family and friends.
Tell them about the Democrats’ plans to dramatically raise taxes; defund the police; eliminate bail; flood our neighborhoods with criminals and illegal aliens; flood our suburban communities with multi-density, low-income public housing; and destroy our economy with “free” everything.
Illegal aliens will have free health insurance, while you’ll pay quadruple, while waiting a year for a doctor’s appointment.
Under Democrats America will be a violent, lawless warzone, and you won’t have access to guns. The good people will be helpless “fish in a barrel.” The Democrat model will make us all Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Minneapolis with 700 buildings burned to the ground, or downtown Seattle run by a warlord.
Start preaching the gospel. Educate every person you know. But, don’t stop there. It’s time to volunteer your time. An hour a week, or two, or three, just for the next four months.
If we each make the commitment to change just a half dozen votes, or bring just a handful of Republican voters to the polls who weren’t going to vote…we will win in an electoral landslide come November. It’s not much to ask.
It’s time to put your money where your mouth is. It’s high time for good people like you to get off the bench and get into the game. The time is now, or never.
Come November 4thdon’t be the one who sat on the sidelines during the most important election of our lifetime. It is up to each of us to ensure we have not just celebrated our last 4thof July.

thegatewaypundit--2020-07-09--Fauci Says States Should “Seriously Look at Shutting Down” Again as Coronavirus Cases Rise

Dr. Anthony Fauci advised states with rising numbers of coronavirus cases to “ seriously look at shutting down ” .
Fauci made his comments in a podcast interview with the Wall Street Journal by Kate Linebaugh on Wednesday .
Fauci is a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force and has served since 1984 as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the NIH .
Cases have sharply risen across the South from Florida to Texas and the West in Arizona and California in recent weeks even as the mortality rate has fallen .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 60,000 , Fauci warned last week the nation could see 100,000 new cases per day .
TRENDING : Radical Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant Vows to Overthrow the United States and Replace with `` a Socialist World '' Fauci recommended the following to bring the curve down , “ We have got ta just tighten things up .
Close the bars .
Indoor restaurants , either no or make it such that there ’ s very good seating .
Make sure people wear masks .
Make sure they don ’ t congregate in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distance .
If you do those simple public health measures , guarantee you ’ re gon na see that curve come down .
It ’ s happened time and again in virtually every country that ’ s done that .
At the same time , one extra thing if I might add .
A lesson to the other cities and states , that when you open and re-open take a really good look at the guidelines .
And in your quest to get things open quickly don ’ t jump over the guide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the checkpoints .
Do it in a measured way , the way the guidelines delineate .
If you do that the chances of getting a surge are much much less than if you just jump over things .
So it ’ s take care of and control what ’ s surging now in the southern states .
And the other states , be mindful of what happens when you open up and throw caution to the wind , cuz it could happen to you.
” After criticizing states for opening too soon , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was talking about .
Fauci also observed that states that followed the guidelines had people crowded into bars without wearing masks that contributed to the new surge .
Fauci noted he did not want to get in the position of “ blaming people ” because it gets off the message of , “ what are you gon na do about it to correct it ?
” On what states with rising cases should do , Fauci said , “ I think any state that is having a serious problem , that state should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s not for me to say because each state is different .
New York did , what , you know , I was in multiple conversations with Governor Cuomo and with Mayor de Blasio and those are the things that we discussed .
They did it and it worked .
It worked for them.
” Fauci also credited human behavior for the rise in cases for people with a mindset to ‘ let it rip ’ after being cooped up in the lockdowns and not caring if they get infected but who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Fauci also said the blanket lockdowns may have been a mistake for states that did not have a surge in March and April , saying perhaps the lockdowns could have been done “ more surgically.
” Fauci blamed states ( again without naming them ) for opening too early and too quickly for the rise in cases .
“ I mean obviously , it ’ s a mixed bag .
I mean there are a lot of things that are going on in the states .
Some states , you know it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ name any states but some states admittedly opened up too early and too quickly .
So that was something that probably should not have happened that led to this .
I ’ ve seen examples of other states that have actually officially done it correctly and provided the right leadership .
But the human behavior and the need and the urge to just open up quickly has almost over-rided some of the recommendations of the leaders .
So it ’ s a mixed bag .
I mean obviously you ’ d like to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people understand .
But for better or worse unfortunately that ’ s not exactly what ’ s going on.
” At the end of the interview , Fauci gave his “ core type of guidelines ” for slowing the spread of the virus : “ Physical distance , washing of hands , wearing of masks , outdoors better than indoors .
To the extent that you can do that , do it .
If you can ’ t , try as best as you can to be creative enough to maintain the safety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dealing with.
” When asked what his ‘ message at the moment ’ is , Fauci said , “ We got ta our arms around this .
We ’ ve got ta be stringent .
We got ta re-look at what ’ s going on .
And we ’ re seeing that .
We ’ re seeing now the governors and the mayors , uh , of these states and cities really now leaning in to try and get control of this .
Hopefully we will and when we do , that could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Remember we all still want to proceed to re-opening .
We all want to make sure that the children get back to school because of the negative consequences of not getting them back to school–so we got ta keep our eye on that.
” Link to the Wall Street Journal podcast interview with Dr. Fauci .
UPDATE : Speaking at an event Thursday hosted by The Hill and sponsored by Biosimilars Forum , Fauci softened his view on another round of lockdowns ( excerpt ) : … ” I would think we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their opening process , looking at what did not work well and try to mitigate that , ” Fauci , a member of the White House coronavirus task force , told The Hill ’ s Steve Clemons .
“ I don ’ t think we need to go back to an extreme of shutting down.
” Fauci struck a different note than he did a day earlier in an interview with The Wall Street Journal when he said states should consider shutdowns .
“ I think any state that is having a serious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at shutting down , ” he said Wednesday .
“ It ’ s not for me to say because each state is different.
” On Thursday , though , he softened his remarks , saying , “ I would hope we don ’ t have to resort to shutdown.
” He added that shutdowns “ would not be viewed very favorably.
