>> laura: i pretty much tells us who is in charge. >> president biden: someone interviewed my wife today. i got a call. my attention is not been for the beginning of this to many of the things before i start the campaign. >> laura: joe biden's policies on energy dependence, inflation. blue trillions on idiotic covert treatments and drove up food and gas prices. and none of this is going to age well. and speaking of age. >> is it into your own calculation of what of the run again? >> president biden: no, but people are brought up tons of issues about my age. one thing i could say is watch me. >> laura: oh, we are watching all right.

>> president biden: i did a whole video on zoom. who was zooming who? let me answer the question. >> laura: that is not your generation but nice try. the fact is the democratic talisman sees what we see in the know what we know. joe biden is fading he is faltering before our eyes. no serious person believes that he is capable of making his own decisions about complex questions of for domestic po policy. >> do you have any plan to travel to ohio every talk to the mayor yet? >> i've talked everyone else multiple times. i talked to the senators in both governors. and everyone there a talk to. what?

>> no journalists with top democrat party sources, they are reporting about the worry within the party. a few weeks ago it was jonathan martin not senior democrats is too old for second term. and today it was mark leave of the atlantic. also noting the worried the democrats have in private about joe biden's age and wishing he would step aside. the public silence around the presidents predicament has become tiresome and potentially catastrophic for the democratic party. somebody should make a refreshing nuisance of himself and involve the voters in this discussion. not one of the few elected democrats discouraging second joe biden run is minnesota's congressman dean phillips. who says that the president's approval rating has many democrats freaking out, believe me there are literally hundreds and congress he said would say the same thing but they simply won't say a word.

there's also the very real concern about kamala harris. since it is possible that joe biden would be able to finish a second term former clinton lawyer greg craig writes that he should tell his party that he will not dictate who will be his running mate but instead leave it up to the delegates picked person who is best equipped to take on that task. now wait a second, wait a second. are they implying that shouldn't be necessary under steady kamala harris isn't prepared for for the leading role? >> i just love the idea of exporting the unknown. i love electric school buses. i just love them. for so many reasons, maybe because i went to school on a school bus. [laughter] i really like venn diagram's. there the circles right? usually. [laughter] to check if you qualify go to

get internet.gov. to check if you qualify go to internet.gov. [laughter] >> laura: this is an absolute nightmare for the democrats. as everybody knows that there is a huge appetite for someone other than joe biden. 50% of democrats and democratic leaning independents support the idea of nominating somebody else. let's not forget his implicit 2020 promise that he would be a one termer. >> i look at myself as a bridge not as anything else this entire generation of leadership seen by me. they are the future of this country. >> he was a bridge all right, a bridge to nowhere. or maybe a bridge to the first doctor. >> it's are a new chance at this point that he is not going to run? >> not in my book. >> you were all for? >> of course.

>> laura: it's all about them. what the country desperate wants and needs just does not matter. so was nervous as some republicans are about a politically damaging blood feud between desantis they have reasons to be far more nervous. they have incumbent with a bad record, and a bad memory. west publicly levels try really hard to appear calm. >> people should just jump in let's jump in, let people jump in. oh absolutely he should be challenge as a democracy this is not a dictatorship voters deserve to have choice. >> laura: yes they do deserve a choice and a republicans will have lots of options. but that is wishful thinking for the democrats. so i have to say sorry gavin, sorry j.b. sorry gretchen dorgan have to wait your turn.

and then in 2024 the voters who got shafted these past three years they will finally have their turn. and that is the angle. should we know stephen miller senior advisor president trump and founder of america first legal "washington times" opinion editor also fox news contributor charlie we make of this kind of slo-mo entrance into the race? by the joe biden team? >> i think the obvious answer that as he has these real problems on his hands whether it's the economy it's a really hard case for him to make the argument that he should get another shot at this, but let's not forget the only time voters in this country get a shot at anything involving democrats is in general elections. the democrat party has so successfully over the years

insulated themselves from their own voters, they do not let their voters have any role in selecting the nominees look into thousand four when everybody got all excited about howard dean and then the people who run the democratic party freaked out because they thought he was dangerous and they gave him john kerry the one on the loose same thing happened in 2016 with bernie sanders so the idea that the democrat party is what any of their voters thanks is kind of comical and a list of these people now talk about all know we need to give them a voice to talk about who should be the next nominee, no. they always sit in back smoking rooms and picked her nominees and shove it down as voters throats. i suspect that is what's gonna happen here as well. >> laura: stephen, there's a lot of reasons why the voters are fed up the economy subsea hurting, we are drifting towards another global conflict perhaps.

here is the current focus of the white house with all of these other things swirling. watch. >> diversity and representation is really important to this president the majority of people of color for the first time in history. majority female for the first time in history. 40% of white house senior staff identify as part of their racially diverse communities and a record seven assistance to the president or open the lgbtq+. this is something that the president prides themselves on. >> laura: they are not taking off all the successes stephen the first cabinet. >> first of all someone should offer a million dollar prize to the first journalists west joe biden on live tv with the ackerman lgbtq+ stands for. [laughter] i would pay a lot of money to see what that is. [laughter] [laughter] >> laura: hold your horses there stevie. >> 70% of their staff, i

guarantee you that joe biden is to get the first letter. >> it comes down to is the fact that when people see what happens the color schemes they see what's happening but he was having with crime, they see what's happening overseas here in world war this he was happening as we near recession here at home and are wondering how in gods name is is white house and administration only focused on the skin color and gender identity of its political appointees craig this'll be a major issue mark my words a major issue in 2020. >> there are people out there or slowing the virtues under study, harris only found one person watch. >> if that moment comes in her

life to run for president. >> laura: does anyone on the planet actually believe that? she's really fun person a come on. not to any democrats want kamala harris to speak for the exact reasons that stephen laid out. i drove to say though it is entirely possible the left has a lot of reasons within the democrat party if a lot of reasons to be thrilled with joe biden. they have gone absolutely everything off of the christmas wish list with this guy. physical and hard left the party under him has become the party of defunding the police free health care for illegals open borders it's kind of hard to figure out what else on the

christmas list they could possibly ask for that he hasn't already given them. >> laura: great to see you both. tonight i have some really good news for you the lobbyists in d.c. are freaking out. no lie for working class americans was on the upswing is remembered during during the donald trump years. romanian rages were up, glassed prices were low consumer confidence was high inflation we know that was nonexistent. of course the regime media though it tried to downplay its populace appeal and pretend like his entire agenda was tax cuts for the rich. >> this is a big wet kiss for corporations of millionaires and billionaires. >> all of his policies are trying to crush poor people. >> laura: completely the requests, completely false. in more than two years after leaving office we are slowly but

surely seeing how trump has transported the g.o.p. a case in point, going to the d.c. lobbyists they are and really, really worried over the new chair of the house ways and means committee corporate tax lobbyists are not used to taking heat for republicans and many don't know what to make of smith. people are wondering how best to approach corporate issues so one from a republican tax eight. people spun themselves into a frenzy. now if you did not know this the chairman of the house and committee is one of most important jobs in washington. every tax and every trade bill goes through the means committee. none of the other house committees have this authority and the committee is never gonna report a bill that the chair does not agree with. so congressman smith have a huge position. but what really have them in uproar is that smith may not

play the usual globalist ball. this means that they are going to heavily lobby other members of the committee to try to overrule him. which longtime lobbyist tells politico he is already doing. in the past that share of means was a champion of globalization. former chair kevin brady was anti-tariff and bush republican. carson jason smith lessee somehow co-opted is honestly just what we need. their public and party needs to be a working class party we have tried it the other way when the donor class and the elites on wall street when they ran the show were left with massive trade deficits, a stronger china any stagnating middle-class america. jamming out is congressman, new chair of the house ways and means committee, commerce men do you intend to stand up to any of your fellow g.o.p. members who are hearing from those very angry and worried lobbyist?

>> first off laura, thank you for having me take my fellow g.o.p. members on the means committee stand with me and that the republic and party is a party of the working class. who would've ever even thought that the fact that you set your priority is american worker, small businesses and family farmers that that would cause them to turn into a tizzy but it's all about what our priorities are in the party and i'll tell people on my committee are behind us. >> on the trade issue specifically present donald trump leaves his big trade plan today which if it wasn't written by someone like a bob lighthizer when my mind that she was p.r. we ever had. so things like him because he was very heavy on america first priorities tariffs when needed and putting china back on its heels after the massive trade deficit we had last year. you agree in principle with those themes?

>> you knew that bob was a part of that as he helped draft those policies we have been working with bob. we have to make sure that we bring back are served strategic supply chain the united states with the mix that we are energy secure, we are food secure and we are health care secure. we also laura, we need to go after these companies that have lost their american identity have become beholden to china. and then they still expect a handout taxpayer handout? these are the items that we have the look at in the committee and we have the push is a administration straight because the joe biden administration laura, the up and out to lunch. they are doing nothing, they are allowing china to steamroll us. they are allowing for example the mexico usmca agreement? they are not purchasing the rights from farmers they are supposed to be purchasing from

and they're coming up with these fake trade barriers. they need to be held accou accountable. >> laura: on the issue of made in america that joe biden promise in that infrastructure bill, is not going by the wayside because europe complained about the electric vehicle tariff? that is another thing that they're going to basically kiss goodbye. >> they are deftly found a kiss that goodbye but you know what? it's also itching to see some of these companies that are partnering with china to help build those batteries right there in michigan. it's a little bit unacceptable at stuff we need to be looking at. >> laura: congressman, we are to be watching very carefully for three years the englishman confronting the medical assessment including dr. fauci about the likelihood of the covid lab leak theory. but tonight a new of information is of the dope joe biden a administration is working to memorize china's role, i wonder why customer they join us next

dr. fauci. >> laura: the initial claim that covid-19 originated at a wuhan wet market odyssey that was you know what, a lie. all evidence points to a gain-of-function research that was being done that went awry in elites out of the lab. >> laura: from february 2020 before it became a blown pandemic in this country, the show determined through available evidence that the covid lab leak theory was not viable at all, with the lab leak not the wet market was a leading possibility. despite her protestations of the obvious cover-up going on inside china dr. fauci and his adoring media quickly thought to shut it all down. >> very much leaning towards this could not of been artificially manipulated. >> dr. anthony fauci rejected the conspiracy we notes been debunked. >> escape from a lab at such a

kind of dystopian feel to it. nobody should be saying it. >> i would that so quick and so quick to rule it out? from a director of national and tell john ratcliffe jim jordan share in the committee john, is it just me or does seem to be this perverse incentive by the medical and media establishment to jump in to protect china here why? >> laura i think because the geopolitical ramifications are huge, if there is a finding a civilian actually staff of the chinese pla and is responsible for a virus i killed maybe as many as 10 million people worldwide including million americans as a conclusion that i don't think that the joe biden administration wants to have to deal with.

unfortunately that's what the intelligence and the scientific evidence support for my first day as d&i the lab leak was never a french or conspiracy was always supported and conversely the theory of natural origin was never supported by our intelligence it was never supported by scientific evidence and effect dr. fauci and dr. collins, and the other physicians and scientists there at the time writing a paper saying this was of natural origins were privately confessing that they cannot explain this as naturally occurring and that was at least a 70% possibility or probability in their minds that it would occur from a lab leak with some of the intelligence that jim jordan my good friend is only seen parts of but hopefully we'll get to see the rest of the intelligence as investigations move forward. >> laura: let alone the money from the health alliance looks like and end up in that lab

congressman jordan which you be biggest scandal of all time. but dr. fauci emerged to respond to this news i want you to re react. >> we must all keep an open mind to all possibilities. the data that evolutionary neurologists have submitted and published in peer-reviewed journals rather strongly suggests that it was natural occurrence. it appears to be obsolete a disagreement. you have to look at the data i don't see any data for a lab leak. >> laura: congressman, he is just shameless. >> boy, that is just shameless. this had a most likely come from a lab he knew three years ago january 31st 2028 it's an email from dr. anderson which says the virus is not consistent with evolutionary theory the next day he gets in the email but it be easier doing a lab. after a conference call with

dr. fauci three months after that those who doctors they get a dollar research grant from none other than dr. fauci. he had to hide this because it was our tax dollars going to the wuhan institute of virology two and a of function research so we had to cover it up and that's what he continues to deal even up to today and it's from but the american people see through it all. >> today john kirby close that joe biden still supports gain-of-function research, how dangerous is that? >> there is a reason why it's not legal in white had to be offshore to china by dr. fauci and others to circumvent u.s. laws it's ridiculous it's a pandemic that changed the world and the idea the president joe biden is not alert enough to see the dangers of that

happening again especially when china has shut down any investigation president joe biden is afraid to confront him. as outrageous and lower limit to say this the other thing that is outrageous is at the apartment of energy is one intelligence agency, this eventually all the intelligence agencies will publicly conceive that this was a lab leak, it is been a slow roll i think that is been intentional from the joe biden administration. the fact of the cia has not assessed anything are you can me? premier intelligence agency with eyes and ears around the world with intelligence and with all the scientific evidence, there and a half years later it cannot make any assessment with any confidence? that is garbage the truth is they can, but they do not want to assess with any degree of confidence what they have to do that this originated from a lab leak at the wuhan institute of neurology because they do not want to deal the geopolitical ramifications of having to confront china.
