dr. anthony fauci's emails. congresswoman: obviously emails leave a troubling story and asks more questions than answers and we ask if this was part of deliberate effort to create something that was accidentally leaked to the lab or it got anywhere into a wet market so called in that region and i'm concerned about his back peddling on a lot of the issues and really just reversing course. i think it's time for dr. fauci to retire or be fired from this job. he's let us into the terrible situation in the pandemic particularly coming from new york state where we had massive shutdowns and we had permanent loss of many businesses. we've had an unbelievable loss of lives largely due to the policies that our governor andrew cuomo sending nursing home patients to untimely death but putting covid positive patients with vulnerable people. so many of these things have impacted our lives in such a negative way last year. i think it's time for him to

retire and be fired. mike: what about china in terms of the cover-up and really them not doing anything to help the united states and really across the world? congresswoman: well, i think china needs to be held accountable. the big question is how do we hold china accountable. can we sue them? only the united states had a stronger economy and we were in a better position and, you know, china is gaining on us in that area, we could actually negotiate something. at some point i think china should be paying for the damage that has been reached on our communities and small businesses, on the over half a million people who lost their lives to this terrible virus, you know, whether it was deliberate or just, you know, gross negligence, they owe us. i'm not sure how we do that. we would have to negotiate something with other nations in the world but i don't think we are in a real position of strength especially with this administration and president biden being so compromised with the chinese communist party. mike: to domestic concerns obviously infrastructure big

issue both sides have been trading paper back and forth but we may hear the house may go with a democratic proposal, does that mean they are throwing in the towel on bipartisan talks? >> they have been throwing the towel on bipartisan talks for over a year. they don't even want to go through the regular order in the committee process for those really important issues, whether it's hr1, the infrastructure bill, you know, which had some really concerning aspects to it that you're hearing about as you see, you know, the negotiations sort of, you know, develop with our senator shelley who i have great confidence in but i'm concerned about the lack of -- the lack of bipartisan particularly on the democratic side. mike: okay, we had the monthly job's report out friday. it did not meet expectations. what is that telling you about the state of our economy right now? congresswoman: obviously we are in a typical spot. we are looking at potentially

inflation, already we are seeing inflation. we are seeing a problem with our supply chains. i'm very concerned that our treasury secretary is trying to negotiate some kind of deal, a global deal with the 7 wealthiest countries to try to have a tax increase. at this point, what i'm looking at is the united states under the tax cuts an job's act has finally got a plan where we are helping the small business community and repatriating our jobs and our money and our wealth that's been held overseas because of high rate of tax. people don't often talk about the repatriation tax that has brought back 1.7 trillion just since we passed the tax cuts and job's act and the huge economic boost to our communities like mine which tend to be rural and driven by small business in upstate new york. we are seeing -- we've never seen any glimpse of hope coming out of anywhere but tax cuts and job's act in terms of the economy i specially coming from new york and albany. mike: congresswoman claudia teny from the great state of new york.

tony fauci who has spent decades, literally decades, he didn't get anything right. nobody got anything right. there was confusion of the value of that. we thought that maybe this spread by touching, now we know it don't. of course, there's confusion, but to use tony fauci who has decades of services, frankly is shameful. mike: to china's role, here is former secretary of state mike pompeo from sunday morning futures and i will ask you to respond. secretary: we don't know precisely what was taking place because the chinese communist party is covering up and won't let us know but there's a lot of unanswered questions of what the activities were and why they were engaged in them, were they connected to military in any way and, in fact, this leak came from that laboratory. mike: as a member of the intelligence committee, what are your concerns about china? congressman: i think mike tried, mike said it exactly right. i can tell you this. the consensus is that this was not created in the lab.

i want to clear that up because representative tenney obscured that a little bit. the consensus is it did not begin in the lab. what the intelligence community is working very hard in the face of chinese obstruction to figure out whether this, in fact, was something like so many viruses went to a pig or went to wet market or whether they were working on something in the lab in wuhan or somebody got sick or somehow escaped from the lab. again, tony fauci doesn't know the answer, joe biden doesn't know the answer, donald trump doesn't know the answer and we are working on trying to figure it out. the chinese are making it pretty hard to get to the facts. mike: congressman, will china be held accountable and how do you think they should be held accountable? congressman: so first we need to know what the problem was, right. again, there's a lot of confidence that they didn't deliberately create this thing with some conspiracy the way

senator cruz would you have you believe. but, yeah, if they were incompetent and escaped from a lab and we got millions of people around the world dead including 600,000 here in the united states, yeah, they got to be held accountable. so what does that mean? first of all, safety procedures so it never happens again. if they created this, it's on them economically contribute to global -- global recovery. mike: congressman jim himes from the great state of connecticut, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you, mike. mike: keep it right here after our show for fox news sunday, chris wallace talks to senator joe man chip about infrastructure negotiations and all start at 2:00 p.m. eastern, top of the hour. vice president kamala harris heading to guatemala today by growing calls for her to visit the u.s. southern border. a preview of her trip plus update on the growing migrant crisis right after the break.

much 24 hours a day and that's been an extra resource and from our sources, what they are telling us is that the smugglers, the cartel smugglers are pushing more east towards the river to kind of get away from where all of those resources have been focused. so that is one difference but in terms of frustration on the ground, people are -- law enforcement agents, dps officers and border patrol agent that is we talk to at least we see on their faces, they are incredibly frustrated and very worried, mike, about title 42 being listed at some point. we don't know when that's going to happen. the administration has not said yet but it's coming and they're worried that the flood gates will open and they just won't have the resources necessary to deal with that, mike. mike: aishah hasnie doing a phenomenal job on the texas border, aishah, thanks so much.

leaked the virus to the global society because we know the lab was handling coronaviruses, they were trying to infect cells which were messing with mother nature. the doctors who originally saw, confessed and lab accidents are common. anybody who worked in the labs know that and google maps is 5 miles away. since then we learned that a 2018 report found that the conditions there were quote, unquote, identical to that of a dentist office in doing high-level virology research. also no lab samples have been turned over and u.s. intelligence confirms now lab workers were treated at the hospital early. mike: what about the malpractice from china, if they had been transparent, couldn't they have saved a lot of lives? >> there were a lot of opportunities to be rant parent where they were not. they put an order at all the doctors at wuhan hospital and

clear announcement that none of them were to speak about contagious pneumonia and the doctor who decided to release the genetic code to the world, an international hero, he was reprimanded and lab was shut down and he went missing for a period of time. so there was a culture of fear that if anyone spoke up there would be repercussions. mike: to your book, the price we pay, what broke american healthcare and how to fix it. the paperback version comes out this week. i understand that you have a new section based on recent events. doctor: i do have a section looking at covid. early on in the pandemic we were asking the most basic questions as a country, how does it spread, how many people are asson tomatic, when are you most contagious, none of the questions were answered by gigantic health business. $40 billion at the nih, not a dime pivoted to answer those questions, so as a result we had
