♪ ♪ ♪ >> the liberal media doing a 180 on the origins of covid as there are no longer dismissing the idea, it may have leaked from a chinese lab. this after more than a year of ridiculing that theory as well as former president trump and conservative outlets. this is "outnumbered." i am kayleigh mcenany, "new york post" columnist and fox news contributor miranda devine, and the virtual seed, town how.com political editor, fox news contributor and radio host, guy benson.
9:01 am
welcome. critics are slamming the mainstream media for amnesia on the lab and these headlines illustrate the striking difference between the way they first reported the story and what they're saying now. the journalist not the only one, here's dr. anthony found she then and now. >> if you look at the genomic sequence of the viruses that are in bats in the wild it's strikingly similar to the sequences that you have found noun people who have been infected with the original virus. >> are you confident it develop naturally? >> no, i'm not convinced. i think we should continue to investigate what went on in china until we find out to the best of our ability what happened. >> kayleigh: another 180 from dr. fauci and the media.
9:02 am
i want to start with you and a sound bite to what president trump and myself were saying a year ago today. >> have you seen anything at that point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the wu virus was there? >> yes, i have. and i think the world health organization should be ashamed of themselves. >> he said yesterday he has a high degree of confidence the coronavirus originated in a lab in wuhan, china, and get his own intelligence agencies say they're investigating. does the president have information and has drawn the conclusion? >> assessments indicate that the statement is consistent with what some analysts believe is the place the virus began. >> kayleigh: here is what the media was saying.
9:03 am
"usa today," "whether covid spread after china tests cites no evidence." they said this was a debunked theory. "the washington post," fact-checker said, wasn't released from the lab? doubtful. now it appears they should be rewriting some of the headlines. >> and they also dragged senator tom cotton who floated this possibility. some of this does go to reflexive tribalism when it comes to ideology with the media and the elite establishment. they couldn't just say, it's possible, that's plausible, let's learn more. they have to say this is debunked. and now they look foolish because yes, there's new new evidence that's mounting, but it was always viable. senator cotton had a good twitter thread yesterday, my
9:04 am
concern now is okay, let's say it turns out that this did leak from a lab. we agreed this is the truth, how it happened, what a catastrophe this is, how are we going to achieve that accountability that the w.h.o. did a whitewash, a failure of investigation with china walking them around by the hand, how are we going to get those answers if the chinese communist party refuses to play ball, which of course they're not going to. this would be an enormous embarrassment to them and a huge black eye on the stage. >> you hit a key point there. they're leaning hard on that investigation and i think wrongheaded lease so. miranda, this reminds me of the russia bounty story where we were told that there were bounties on the heads of soldiers in afghanistan and we found out, no, there was low to
9:05 am
moderate, but the media has still in a steady drumbeat accuse the president i'm not taking action, but here you have the media carrying water for china. i've got to believe it has something to do with the reflexive hatred of anything president donald trump. >> absolutely. it's all about hatred of donald trump and it's about this cheerleader form of journalism where they anointed people and certain authorities as, they could say no wrong, there him to see aunt and that was dr. fauci primarily, the world health organization. governor cuomo one and me. people were listening in their laundry rooms swooning over him. how many magazine covers has he been on? and they sanctified the wrong people. the problem is when you have the cheerleaders in the media
9:06 am
deciding that everything that comes out of anthony fauci's mouth is correct and everything that comes out of president president trump's mouth is wrong, they don't judge it logically. they don't do their own reporting. they put a real chill on free speech by doing that because they then make other scientists and other inquiring minds decide to not look into the origins. it was obvious from the beginning as you and the president said, and pointed to the most plausible theory, the lab leak. no one was saying it was definite, but there was so much circumstantial evidence, they allowed us to see. and they were journalists who ignored, who wrote about it and spoke about this.
9:07 am
he worried that now we are a year on and suddenly the media we are denying the truth back then is accepting reality, but we've lost the valuable time. it's like a murder and the corpses dead. the crime scene is finished. they cause great harm to this country and when you talk about social media censoring anybody who raises questions, it's chilling. >> kayleigh: to the point about a public health authorities, dr. fauci didn't just do it about-face on the origins of covid, he did about-face on mask wearing and a symptomatic spread, a flip-flop, that's a lot of about-face and flip-flop. >> harris: he only has one face, but you wouldn't know. i want to go something that miranda just said, you wonder why were not focused on the victims and survivors and
9:08 am
you get slapped down if you asked too many questions about the lab. i remember. i was getting those stickers slept on my twitter feed and why is that? we made celebrities out of the wrong people. we put the wrong people on the covers of those magazines. we knew there were scientists who had been sick at that lab before the outbreak. we do know the details. we didn't know, we didn't have the details, but i would have rather seen their faces on the cover of "time" magazine then these people who couldn't figure out whether we ought to wear masks! then it turns out, you want to wear them, but they were keeping them to the medical professionals. put them on every single cover for the rest of time as well, those medical professionals. we had so many people we could have made celebrities, what about the first responders and essential workers. we made celebrities out of the wrong people. i want to make it a bumper sticker.
9:09 am
so spot on. >> kayleigh: it's my view they should have gotten it. emily, will the biden administration be held accountable by the media on this, i somehow think they won't be. >> emily: we are certainly not seeing pushback whatsoever on the media, so as you pointed out earlier with guy detailing the problems of the w.h.o. investigation, jen saki continues to rely on them to conduct that investigation. when we see already they've misled the american public in the world on the origins, they've all but ignored the alarms sounded by the united states embassy delegation that toured the lab before the outbreak. they ignored -- i have to say this because it's a larger point, there is real global concern about the conflict of interest. we know chinese contributions
9:10 am
are 56% with an additional $30 million infusion in 2020. how can anyone expect there to be a transparency when we know the chinese continue to play ball with the w.h.o.? let alone the american people. i don't know why we are not calling for u.s. investigation when we know there are 17 concurrent investigations for each issue. as well, this final, this recent report about the scientists that were hospitalized with covid-19 symptoms or seasonal flu symptoms, they were based on the u.s. intelligence report and yet she says it wasn't and it goes beyond a fact sheet initially. we have detailed allegations. a final point, the w.h.o. and the decision-making body is entering the next phase of their investigation. watch to see if they talk about
9:11 am
this recent development and if we will continue to be misled to accountability for it. >> it's a questionable lead to the viewers. just ahead, democrats call defund the police and some vilify law enforcement, we have incredible new video of what cops face when they put their uniform on and show up to do the job. ♪ ♪ i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans because i know there's so many of you who have served our country honorably. whether it's 2 years, 4 years, or 32 years like myself. one of the benefits that we as a country give our veterans is eligibility for a va loan for up to 100% of your home's value.

9:19 am
scapegoating. that is repulsive to most americans because we recognize there are very dangerous people, someone has to protect us from those people and it's an extremely dangerous job and you have no idea what call will come in on the radio. and there is a debt of gratitude we all owe collectively to law enforcement, which does not mean we shouldn't have reforms and there shouldn't be accountability. that's not true. will we just witnessed as a reminder of what law enforcement faces or at least may face on a day in and day out basis and why so many of us are so grateful. >> emily: he brings up the reform and a bill that on the hill there is currently a war over. the g.o.p. is rightly concerned with several positions, and there is talk about common sense
9:20 am
reform. senator tim scott proposes exactly that with his bill. less than three weeks after george floyd's death. >> kayleigh: he put forward a great act of justice act and he came out with it and president trump's administration say, we wholeheartedly support this. what do democrats do? they voted to project to the bill. they were not serious about common sense reform. it would make cops jobs more dangerous. they've a great piece outlining how it will do that. one way is eliminating no-knock warrants. imagine going to a door and doing a drug bust knowing there is a nefarious actor behind that door and knocking and giving him a chance to get lined up, perhaps act aggressively. the democratic bill gets rid of that. whereas tim scott's bill says, we should use these rare
9:21 am
circumstances, let's have local police officers report so we can take a look at how they're utilized, but let's not ban them out right and make it more dangerous. common sense reform versus overreaching extremism. >> that's exactly right and there's so much talk about qualified immunity with section 1983. i would like to play the white house's reaction for spikes in crime. watch. >> 4,000 more people shot and killed by guns compared to the year before. is there a crime problem? >> i would say there is a gun problem. local violence and community violence is an issue and that's one of the reasons we propose and are implementing funding for community violence programs across the country.
9:22 am
>> emily: maratha children were getting far community violence" does that like less of the officer who is pulling the trigger, the liberal seems to care? >> miranda: yes and there's the problem that in all these cities, crime has spiraled. it's the defunding the police, it's demonizing, condoning these anti-police activities that have been going on for more than a year before the george floyd protests. i feel that you heard they think cities just redefined the problem and then they fixed it. crime is now community violence. if you get mugged, doesn't hurt as much because it was a community mugging. the same way they redefine the problem at the border.
9:23 am
you're not allowed to say "illegal alien" you have to say "poor migrant" that kind of softens the blow and stop the outrage in the community, but there is another problem here which is that the public, a lot of people don't have common sense, tim scott just said he's trying to implement these common sense reforms, but there seems to be a whole generation that's grown up with their head and the screen. people spend their entire life looking at screens and are not out in the real world exposed to physics. they don't understand the way physics works. if someone's coming at you with a knife, if a split second to neutralize with a gun. they don't allow that police should shoot people in the knee or karate chop them out of having a knife. it's impracticable. >> emily: harris, those were
9:24 am
such great points, the shaping of the narrative means that supposed to hurt less and those often living in an alternate reality don't see the reality of what's on the street that we were continue reporting on. >> harris: we've all kind of ban in this virtual reality for over a year. so to miranda's point, after you get back out in the real world and it becomes 3d again and can even feel like it's 4d in some ways, thanks come at you and there is reality. maybe some of these mayors were sequestered, i don't know. but when you talk with them, he says, were not defunding, we will move the money around. you just admitted the murder rate is higher! how are you moving money around? he had a bold idea and it's about to come aloft.
