lee's lab in wuhan.s the closest relative to sars-cov-2 was this bat virus called ratg-13. >> ratg-13 was found in a horseshoe bat. the sample was taken by a team of researchers from the wuhan institute of virology. it was collected from a mine were six miners had worked and were later hospitalized with sars-like symptoms back in 2012. three of them died. >> that is the closest known relative of sars-cov-2. and we don't even know that that's the virus that made those six miners sick. >> how close are we talking about here? >> 96% similar. sounds like a high number. but in terms of virus evolution, that 4% difference takes decades. their last common ancestor probably was out there in nature 30 or 40 years ago. >> she said there's a zero chance this came from her lab. what did you think of that? >> so i would like to see what made her think there was a zero chance that it came from her lab. can you show me the data that substantiates your hypothesis or your claim? >> dr. elena chan, postdoctoral fellow at

one way or the other it came out of wuhan and came from the wuhan lab. i started hearing stories that you have also that there were lots of body bags outside of the lab. people were saying from are a lot of people lying down on the streets of wuhan. there were body bags. >> laura: i heard this story about the military games from a friend of mine who was in wuhan in the fall of 2019. just on his own he mentioned the military games as a possible super spreader. i don't know how he knew that. it stayed in the back of my mind. now this concern this is what happened. it would have been a perfect event to test it out, would it not? >> yes. i think the majority of people i have spoken to over the course of my investigation including president trump and pompeo and the form are head of the intelligence agency john ratcliff. they all think this was an accident that the virus out and spread. it might have spread during the military games and infected athletes who took it around the world. a chinese defector has a different view. he thinks it was deliberate. there i

we identified the 600,000 from eco health alliance to the wuhan lab. i believe there's more.ve there are private companies that had relationships with the wuhan lab and they sat quiet this whole time. so there's a lot of problems still with the wuhan lab and it's very disappointing that the biden administration took 90 days to investigate this and then came up and determined that it was inconclusive evidence to link the covid to wuhan. very disappointing. republicans in congress are going to still look into this and try to get to the bottom of this and hold someone accountable. jillian: congressman james comer, thank you for your time. have a good day, sir. >> thank you for having me. todd: coming up, president biden's silent shoulddown. businesses across the country are forced to close their doors over vaccine mandates and extended covid handouts. three frustrated restaurant owners join us to discuss the new rules they're facing in the fight for their livelihoods. ♪ and there you have it— -woah. wireless on the most reliable network nationwide. wow! -big deal! ...we get unli

contribution to the wuhan virology lab, that's the money that we financed it. congress to investigate and you really don't need beijing cooperation's for that but democrats don't seem real eager to go there in congress. >> yeah, i guess not. and it's something they really need to do. what we are talking about here is so-called gain of function research. it's an idea dating back several decades. the idea was that you pushed these viruses, manipulated them to see what they might be, what their dangers might be and started out as a positive idea but then scientists became very upset that you could not control these kinds of experiments which presumably were going on in wuhan with funding from nih directly or indirectly and the big issue being raised, paul, what is the contribution of the scientific community to this problem in collaborating with china which we now see in its refusal to participate at any kind of investigation is a bad actor? and, you know, the business community, the national security community concluded years ago that china was a problem. the sci

they tested in wuhan, it gets out of control, they didn't expect that to happen.ed about that, but then they intentionally allowed some huge number of people, some infected, from wuhan, to travel around the world to infect the rest of the world. >> exactly, because first, you know, china is a country which has a lot of materials, so so the other military that go to u.s. or other countries some of the best technology andri use it to the modifications for many years and then later when they found the appreciate the virus back from eastern china, it's like playing lego. >> tucker: playing lego. >> the functions are from different things which have different expertise in making this function. so they added to the virus and made the whole virus become the sars-cov-2, which carried different kind of functions and attack of humans, so that's why later on you see there are a lot of unexplained symptoms happen in the population, and that's also why i think that we should understand the real back room for more because you can study how many functions they added to sars-cov-

the wuhan lab violated federal policies and endangered the public. dr.told congress his group didn't fund research that strengthened the virus. here is jen psaki again. >> nih has refuted that reporting. nih has never approved any research to make a coronavirus more dangerous to humans. there are previous on different coronavirus than the existing one we're battling. >> harris: marc. >> this is no longer just rand paul saying this. the intercept went to 11 scientists experts in virology. only one disagrees this was not gain-of-function research. what jen psaki said is untrue. a doctor who is a microbiologist from rutgers looked at this and said it is beyond dispute the nih funded research in the wuhan lab. reality is they have an interest in covering this up. confluence with the chinese communist party. no one wants it to come from the wuhan lab because we may be culpable. >> harris: we'll be together on another day. president biden facing huge blow back for publicly shaming the unvaccinated. >> today was more hostile towards the unvaccinated in his spee

helped fund a pandemic from a lab in wuhan china. pages of documents obtained, the grant request acknowledges the dangers of this research. dr. fauci, i presume he read the application, which said the grant proposal acknowledges some of these dangers, highest risk of exposure to sars or other covids while working with that high density overhead just to be inhaled. presumably he read this. presumably he green lighted the funding and now lying about it to congress. senator rand paul has been on him from the beginning. >> harris: i look at this also a slightly different way. was it just a lie or was it people are too busy, they're not smart enough to figure this out? i will say it this way, we didn't pay for the pandemic. >> it is really important to see with clear eyes what the likely source of this pandemic was. u.s. had a ban on the research. rogue scientists disagreed with that decision. anthony fauci is on record disagreeing with that. he went through the back door. either by accident or worse, that leaked from a lab and created th

sherri markson is the author of what really happened in wuhan. sharri good morning to you -- good evening actually out there. >> it is late at night here. look, this is a really fascinating story that's emerged because it wasn't just chinese defector who was telling, desperately trying to tell the american intelligence agencies that there was a problem. you know about the intelligence that said the wuhan institute of virology workers fell sick with cody-like symptoms. that was discovered by pompeo's team in the state department in late 2020 but, in fact, that intelligence also came into the possession united states government at that time no one knew there what a coronavirus about to cause a global pandemic. two crucial pieces of information that they should have acted on and serious questions need to be asked about what the intelligence agencies are doing if they are being given this credible intelligence serious warnings from chinese defectors and not acting on it. ainsley: we found out that the first case in china was i believe december of 201
