    Free Dr. Fauci

    Have you seen what they are doing to Dr. Fauci? In this passionate recounting of the challenges of the pandemic, Attorney Pamela Price expresses her outrage of the political persecution of Dr. Anthony Fauci led by Sen. Rand Paul.  Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for 36 years, since 1984, was the best person in 2020 to create a strategy to minimize the loss of life. He joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1968. He was the longest serving director of the NIAID when the pandemic hit us in 2020. Sen. Rand Paul began attacking Dr. Fauci in 2020, and his attacks have only escalated since then. He has been demanding that the Dept. of Justice prosecute Dr. Fauci since 2022.  Recently, Dr. Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and refuse to give testimony that might support a criminal prosecution against him. “Taking the Fifth” is a bedrock principle in our legal system that any lawyer will tell you is always the wisest choice whether you are in court, on the street with an inquiring police officer, or surrounded by ravenous wolves in the halls of Congress. Calling Dr. Fauci to testify under oath yet again before Congress about a pandemic that happened six years ago that we survived is clearly a ploy by Sen. Paul to create grounds for prosecution for perjury. Not only is Dr. Fauci at risk of being prosecuted for perjury by Trump’s men at the Department of Justice, there are also no less than seventeen (17) state attorneys general “investigating” his role for “mismanagement” in the pandemic. He is under subpoena in three states for investigation whether he personally profited from his health guidance during the pandemic. Within months of seizing control of the federal government in 2025, Trump and his henchmen RFK and Elon Musk cut more than $500 million in funding from the NIAID’s budget for research on allergies and diseases. The deep cuts in funding impacts research on infectious diseases, mental health conditions, and disparities in health conditions for communities of color. They cancelled research grants for cancer, dementia, Alzheimer’s, contamination of public drinking water, reproductive healthcare, HIV, and of course, vaccines. These massive and unprecedented cuts have created the backdrop for the destruction of public health in America. A report by Protect Our Care finds that RFK’s decisions have wreaked havoc on America’s public health system. Measle outbreaks are back, participants in clinical trials have been left hanging and tens of thousands of federal employees have been on a roller-coaster ride for their employment. Persecuting Dr. Fauci is a publicity stunt to distract Americans from the real consequences of Trump’s Project 2025 agenda to restrict access to healthcare for adults and children,eliminate vaccinesend early childhood development programs andexpand children’s access to guns.Support the show

    AIPAC Invades Alameda County

    Two elections in Alameda County and AIPAC has invaded Alameda County. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is pouring millions into a Bay Area special election to fill Eric Swalwell's congressional seat. Because Swalwell was exposed as a sexual predator, there are 2 elections to fill his seat: one on August 18th to finish his term through December, anda second election in November to send a representative to Congress for a regular 2-year term.AIPAC spending on congressional campaigns has become “a thing” in American politics. In 2024, AIPAC spent almost $15 million to unseat New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman, a staunch critic of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and replace him with a staunch supporter of Israeli policies. At that time, it was the largest amount a single group had ever spent on a race for the House of Representatives. Then, in 2026, AIPAC spent $30 million in Michigan against Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in a US Senate race. He won his primary election. If elected in November, he will be the first Muslim U.S. Senator. If State Senator Wahab is elected to Congress on August 18th, she would become only the fifth member of Congress who identifies as Muslim. AIPAC spent $3 million in Missouri to support Congressman Wesley Bell in his 2026 campaign to defeat Cori Bush and he won. This was the rematch from 2024 when AIPAC spent $9 million to take out then-Congresswoman Cori Bush and elect Bell. AIPAC definitely does not want peace in the Middle East, and they don’t want another advocate for peace in the United States Congress.  AIPAC is spending more than $5 million dollars to defeat State Senator Wahab in the 14th Congressional District race. The real issue that drives AIPAC’s interest in this Congressional race is support for military aid to Israel and Israel’s expansionist policies in the Middle East. Congress recently passed the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative which provides billions of dollars for military assistance to Israel and expands coordination between the U.S. military and the Israeli military in every area of defense technology. Senator Wahab is an advocate for peace and justice in the Middle East. In 2025, she spearheaded the California State Senate resolution on Human Rights in Gaza, with the support of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus. AIPAC is paying big money to stop her election to represent the 14th Congressional District. Support the show

    Maurice Monk: Miscarriage of Justice

    On July 24, 2026, felony charges against three Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies charged in the horrific death of Maurice Monk were dismissed, leaving one misdemeanor charge against a single deputy.  A Campaign to Dismiss the Sheriff’s Deputies These latest dismissals mark the near end of a short and swift campaign by District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson to dismiss charges against all of the Sheriff’s deputies involved in two in-custody deaths inside Santa Rita County jail. In 2023, my prosecutors charged two Sheriff’s deputies in connection with the death of Vinetta Martin inside Santa Rita County jail. Both deputies were accused of falsifying records to make it appear that they had provided appropriate care and supervision for Ms. Martin, a Black woman suffering with mental illness, who was found dead in her cell on April 3, 2021.  Video footage from inside the jail contradicted the deputies’ claims that they had followed proper procedures and the truthfulness of the records they completed. In September 2025, District Attorney Jones Dickson dismissed the charges against the two Sheriff’s deputies in the Vinetta Martin case, claiming “insufficient evidence.” In 2024, my prosecutors charged nine deputy sheriffs, a nurse and a doctor in connection with the death of Maurice Monk in November 2021. Monk, a Black man diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, was arrested and jailed in 2021 after he allegedly threatened the bus driver, refused to get off the bus and missed a court date. His bail was set at $2500. He did not have the ability to post bail. In August 2025, District Attorney Jones Dickson dismissed six Sheriff’s deputies and all of the medical staff charged in connection with Mr. Monk’s death, claiming “insufficient evidence.”  Despite video evidence contradicting the written reports, the DA dismissed most of the charges against the Sheriff’s deputies after the Sheriff raised almost $80K for her election campaign, and the County paid $7 million to his family.  The Tragic Death of Maurice Monk Maurice Monk lay in his jail cell for at least three (3) days before Sheriff’s deputies went into his cell and discovered he was dead. In circumstances almost identical to the death of Vinetta Martin, Sheriff’s deputies were accused of falsifying the jail’s records to make it appear that they had performed the mandatory safety checks on Mr. Monk. Video from inside the jail contradicted the self-serving documentation prepared by the deputies and the medical staff. When a single deputy sounded the alarm and other deputies actually entered the cell, rotting food that had been thrown into the cell was found along with Mr. Monk’s medication in pill cups scattered about the cell. He was lying in a pool of urine and had obviously died days earlier. The medical staff were also accused of ignoring Mr. Monk’s medical needs. Falsifying A Domestic Violence Report Fast forward to 2026. Similar record falsification conduct was exposed in the September 2022 murder cases of Maria Tran and her husband, Benison Tran. The couple was murdered by Alameda County Deputy Sheriff Devin Williams, Jr. with a department-issued handgun. A month earlier Maria called Sheriff’s deputies to her home in August and asked for help to get a restraining order against Williams after he showed up at her house harassing her. Sheriff’s deputies lied and told her she could not get a TRO, then allegedly falsified the 911 call record, turned off their body cameras and did not file an incident report, all in violation of official policies.  The County settled the case in May 2026 for $36 million, the largest settlement in Alameda County’s history.

    Alameda County Congressman Confronts Israeli Apartheid

    On July 8, 2026, Congressman Ro Khanna confronted apartheid in Israel. An extremist Israeli settler group and Israeli security forces detained Khanna and his staff as they visited the demolished village of Zanuta in Israel’s West Bank. Congressman Ro Khanna represents Alameda County and Santa Clara County.  According to Khanna, a group of Israeli settlers with American-made M4 assault rifles menaced and harassed his party by brandishing their rifles, taunting them, and making threatening gestures. When Israeli soldiers arrived supposedly in response to the calls for help from Khanna’s staff, the soldiers joined in laughing and smoking with the settlers. Khanna described the incident as “the most arrogant and humiliating treatment of American citizens I have endured.”  Key Topics: In this episode of Pamela Price Unfiltered, Attorney Pamela Price breaks down  the settlers’ campaign targeting and destroying Palestinian villages in the West Bank, including Wadi Foquin and Zanuta.how right-wing extremists in Israel have been a consistent threat to peace in the Middle East since 1947.Israel seized the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war.At least 750,000 Israelis have settled in the West Bank and their government created apartheid conditions for Palestinians still living there. Despite overwhelming and persistent condemnation by the international community as an illegal occupation, Israeli governments have maintained control of the areas and settlers have engaged in unrestrained campaigns of terror against Palestinians, including but not limited to the destruction of Gaza which is ongoing. As Khanna observed, life for Palestinians in the West Bank is constricted by rampant discrimination, random violence, Israeli military checkpoints and Israeli-only bypass roads which limit access to markets, jobs, schools, and healthcare facilities.  What Is Congressman Khanna Doing? For more than a decade, East Bay activists have been sounding the alarm about the efforts to destroy the occupied Palestinian Village of Wadi Foquin, located in the Bethlehem District of the West Bank. Congressman Khanna is a co-sponsor of the Block the Bombs bill to prohibit the President from selling, transferring, or exporting some of the most destructive weapon systems we make to Israel, which are currently being used in the destruction of Gaza. Originally introduced in June 2025, the bill has slowly been gaining support from Democratic members of Congress. Khanna is also a co-sponsor of the West Bank Violence Prevention Act which targets extremist Israeli settlers - like the Hilltop Youth and Yinon Levi - with sanctions, and he has introduced a resolution in Congress opposing the expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank. How are We Supporting Israeli Aggression in the Middle East? While Congressman Khanna remains steadfast in his opposition to arming Israel, the United States at this moment is on a different trajectory. On July 22, 2026, the House of Representatives passed the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. It includes Section 219 - originally numbered as Section 224 - entitled “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.”  Section 219 lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation.  In addition to providing billions of dollars for military assistance to Israel, Section 219 mandates expanded coordination between the U.S. military and the Israeli military in every area of defense technology, including AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, and many more. In one commentator’s words, the U.S. military’s data could soon be the Israeli military’s data.  What Can We Do? Attorney Price offers a number of practical suggestions for supporting the Palestinian people in this latest moment of crisis, including: Supporting a resolution by progressives in the local Democratic Party to condemn the detention of Congressman Khanna.Join Friends of Wadi Foquin - For more than a decade, East Bay activists have been sounding the alarm about the efforts to destroy the occupied Palestinian Village of Wadi Foquin, located in the Bethlehem District of the West Bank.Make donations to charitable organizations focused on the genocide in Gaza, including Project Hope, the World Food Program USA and Doctors without Borders.Join the Oakland People's Arms Embargo - demand that Federal Express halt all military cargo shipments to Israel from US airports, including the Oakland Airport.  Support the show

    Oakland Police Chief James Beere: Last Man Standing, Part 2

    James Beere’s appointment as the Chief of Police for Oakland marks the end point of 10 years of drama inside the Oakland Police Department (OPD). OPD has some unfinished business, however, that may impact Chief Beere’s tenure. The most serious threat with long-term consequences for the Department is the case of OPD Homicide Detective Phong Tran. In April 2023, while I was the Alameda County District Attorney, we charged Detective Tran with felony perjury and bribery. At the time, I noted that we were required to review at least 125 cases as a result of Tran’s alleged misconduct. Almost every case Tran touched was vulnerable to challenge because of his lack of credibility. Eventually the number ballooned to 200 cases. This episode walks you through the flawed investigations riddled with conflicts of interest and attempted cover-ups of Detective Tran's misconduct, and the consequences for Oakland residents:  a two-year extension of federal oversight, hundreds of convictions over ten-year period in jeopardy and potentially millions of dollars in damages for wrongful convictions. In the face of it all, it is unclear if the new District Attorney will be able (or willing) to prosecute Detective Tran, or get to the bottom of what is potentially deep corruption inside OPD. Failing to effectively prosecute Tran will effectively close the books on the 200 cases allegedly infected by his misconduct. And we will never know where Tran got the money to allegedly bribe witnesses and who else was in on that scam? If the District Attorney drops the case against Tran, Chief Beere may also be able to close that chapter in Oakland’s history and put the Tran scandal behind him without addressing the unethical and possibly illegal “practice” of paying witnesses for their testimony in Oakland.  If the Tran case ever actually goes to trial, it may open the door for more scandalous revelations about OPD and practices inside the DA’s office for getting convictions in Alameda County.  Then the question will be, how will Chief Beere respond and what will he do about it?

    New Oakland Police Chief James Beere: the Last Man Standing

    James Beere’s appointment as the Chief of Police for Oakland marks the end point of 10 years of drama inside the Oakland Police Department. After working behind the scenes to support the leaders of the Department and the community for decades, James Beere is literally "the last man standing." This is a look-back of how we got here. In this episode of Pamela Price Unfiltered, Attorney Price breaks down the twists and turns of the last 10 years of Oakland Police Chiefs, coming and going, and the scandals that marred their tenures. Starting with the Celeste Guap scandal and the failed leadership of former Mayor Libby Schaaf, to the death of Joshua Pawlik, through the flawed internal affairs investigations of Sgt. Michael Chung and Detective Phong Tran, and ending with the strange days of Chief Floyd Mitchell, OPD has been unstable and chaotic for 10 years.  Whether Chief Beere can meet the hopes of Oaklanders for a better police department is the question of the hour.  Stay tuned for Part 2 about OPD's unfinished business which may or may not impact what happens next!

    Police Misconduct: How Public Accountability was Terminated in Alameda County

    In this episode, host Pamela Price sits down with Alex Feigen Fasteau, a seasoned veteran prosecutor with over two decades of experience in San Francisco and Alameda County.  Together, they pull back the curtain on the complexities of the justice system, from prosecuting economic crimes and sexual assault to the high-stakes work of the Public Accountability Unit.  Feigan Fasteau shares how he was summarily fired by the interim appointed District Attorney less than two weeks after she took office, and there was no transition of the cases the Public Accountability Unit was handling for two years.  In this episode, we discuss: The Opportunity: What drives a 20-year San Francisco prosecutor to join the Alameda County DA’s office? The Transition:  How Feigen Fasteau and anyone with less than a year tenure was fired by the interim appointed District Attorney without any consideration of their work or their worth to the people of Alameda County. Systemic Issues: Addressing the "criminalization of poverty" and systemic racism from within the prosecutor's office. Police Accountability: The logistical and legal hurdles of charging peace officers, including the reality of "qualified immunity" and the need for independent investigations. The Maurice Monk Case: A look into the supervision of high-profile cases involving in-custody deaths and public records. The "Blue Wall": The challenges of finding independent officers willing to sign affidavits against their own. Alex shares his unique journey from being hired by Kamala Harris to becoming the Director of Public Accountability for Alameda County and now, transitioning into civil rights law. #PamelaPrice #JusticeSystem #PoliceAccountability #PublicAccountability #LegalTalk #DistrictAttorney #CriminalJustice #CivilRights #AlamedaCounty #Unfiltered #LawAndOrder #RealTalk Support the show
