but nobody revealed this, and then a anthony fauci continues to say hey, i know nothing about this.s was his own agency. we approve the nih and niaid found cheese agency knew about this proposal and were part of the proposal despite him continued dumb a continuing and public saying had nothing to do with it that it ties nih to the funding of research that may well have led to covid-19. >> john: a name that comes up in all of this is that of peter does asked the head of the echo health alliance will be testifying before the committee in the house the discrepancy that came up when he gave behind closed doors testimony and that was about a project called "diffuse" >> same thing. >> to make a fearing cleavage site in a virus according to winthrop the proposal said that the research would be done in the university of north carolina but that in fact it was actually targeted to the wuhan institute what he know about that? >> it's the same proposal, it's defuse which was never funded by the u.s. government but we know wuhan continues to do this research and a lot of people knew it was going

so when i published robert f kennedy's book, the real anthony fauci, you know, it was the bestselling book in america. in its first week, it sold 93,000 copies. the new york times bestseller list made it number seven. they wouldn't accept an ad for it. big tech platforms wouldn't take ads for it. so it was censored in every possible way. it got no reviews at all. total media blackout because it was labeled as misinformation, which by the definition that was prevalent then, which was anything that contradict did statements by dr. fauci were pese misinformation. he represented science. and that was that was where where, you know, the government position had had gotten to. so a book that contradicted him even just by the title. so you didn't have to read any of it to decide that. and the title itself was misinformation because it said that a government official might be saying things that were untrue or incomplete or needed further research. tony lyons, is it fair to say that you published conservative books? i know you just bought regnery and another conservative publisher as well. yeah

nobody revealed this and anthony fauci continues to say hey, i knew nothing about this. is was his own agency. >> dr. fauci and senator paul, the long standing feud sparred frequently during fauci's numerous appearances on capitol hill. >> dr. fauci, knowing that it is a crime to lie to congress, do you wish to retract your statement of may 11th where you claimed that the nih never funded gain of function research in wuhan? >> senator paul, i have never lied before the congress. senator paul, do you not know what you are talking about, quite frankly. >> you can read senator paul's complete piece on f foxnews.comn how he alleges the government covered up its ties to the wuhan lab, guys. >> steve: that is just jaw dropping. lucas, thank you very much. we were just talking about the fbi. it was christopher wray who told our own bret baier that it seemed like the fbi was of the opinion that it was a lab leak. remember that? >> ainsley: yeah. >> brian: the cia didn't sign off on that yet. they are still thinking about it. >> steve: they might have, but it's a secret. >> ainsle

this is the smoking gun that ties anthony fauci and nih to the funding of research that may well have led to covid-19. >> harris: is it too late to go after fauci? >> it's a scandal and whether or not fauci himself is ever held accountable for any of this. some of the facts we've outlined and beyond are pretty damming for him. the under lying damage that he and others have done that their own credibility and public health bureaucracies. for a long time the people in charge, the powers that be insisted that the rest of the country just prostrate themselves before the altar of expertise. and over these last few years a lot of people said hang on a second, that actually hasn't gone well for us. it looks like you lied to us and misled us intentionally about some really big issues in order to cover up things that you thought could hurt your side politically or that might hurt your funding moving forward for something, or you have some ideological project or just too proud to admit you were wrong. that has deeply eroded americans' faith in a lot of institutions, an unhealthy thing for our s

anthony fauci who was the head of the niaid of the time who's the top virologist in the country denied wuhan listen to what he said back in 2021. >> i will repeat again the nih and niad categorically has not funded gain-of-function research to be conducted in the wuhan institute -- >> john: of course in congress the biggest b in his bonnet was senator rand paul of kentucky who said this listen here. >> you say it doesn't exist because you change the definition on the website. this is terrible and you are completely trying to escape the idea that we should do something about trying to prevent a pandemic from leaking from a lab. there is a preponderance of evidence now pointing toward this coming from the lab and what you've done is change the definition on the website to ty to cover your delete basically. >> john: what do you think? >> they changed the definition on the website and no one else has the unique definition. >> john: i guess my question is did it or didn't not happen? and did this come from the lab or not? >> as far as the eco-health alliance grant is concerned, dr. fauci si

anthony fauci and former nih head representing the public health establishment where it's most notablewas enough for npr. you were saying you used to listen to npr back in the day, back in your medical school days but you think wow in the past seven, eight years it has moved from basically left to way left. >> and that's the problem. health should not be politicized. science should not be politicized. it's okay for any news outlet to have some kind of editorial slant. that's fine but when it comes to actual fact and twisting of the fact rather than just avoiding certain things, that's where they got it wrong. when they took something like the leak hypothesis and failed to acknowledge that a theory or hypothesis that is actually valid may exist, it allowed people to go down a very different rabbit hole and cause people to waste time and ultimately not really get down to the bottom of wear the pandemic came from and that's something we can't ever afford to happen again. >> trace: and staying with the npr thing quickly because i know you know california politics better than most people, t

anthony fauci destroyed our schools, our churches, our businesses and our economy. >> that is the platformn. the facts may be beside the point. trumps allies are willing to do whatever they must in order to get democrats to jump ship for kennedy and they are doing it in the open. he's new york state director was caught on camera saying this. >> the kennedy voter and the trump voter, the mutual enemy is biden. whether you support bobby orr trump, we all oppose biden. 270 wins the election. if we don't get to 270, if nobody gets to 270, congress asked the president, right? right now, we have a majority of republicans in congress so who are they going to pick? who are they going to pick if it is a republican congress ? they pick trump. >> the kennedy campaign has tried to distance himself from those comments. that doesn't mean the alliance between kennedy and trump world is weakening. the trump teams of you is simple and is backed by public and private polling. "the more candidates in the race, the better for mr. trump." the question is now, how do democrats deal with this? i will ask the onl

pandemic, vaccines some of the statements of anthony fauci no pushback at all things like the lab leakt that we now know legitimately real and most likely happened. we know the laptop was real and newsworthy. someone actually said going to help donald trump if we bring that forward all of our talking points he pointed out we have a reason to have them and outrage baffled by the lack of diversity and thought at npr and elsewhere. >> ainsley: he said, brian, they turned a blind eye to the laptop story. they interviewed in russia collusion adam schiff 25 times. then when the muller report came out said there was no collusion, that story conveniently went away. he talked about how they have always had a liberal bent he said. but they w nerdy. they were not knee jerk or activist or scolding. so much has changed. when we were younger i would listen to it occasionally. >> steve: i worked at npr station. >> ainsley: did you? >> steve: yeah. >> ainsley: i knew they had a bent. some of the theories were so fascinating. slogan was consider all things. >> steve: all things considered. >> ainsley:

anthony fauci, the former director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases thisortance of controlling the narrative as people were dying during a pandemic leading to censorship of critical information. the biden administration has yet to demand answers from and hold china accountable for covid-19 and the cover-up that followed amidst the nearly 1.2 million deaths it caused. instead, the white house asked the ccp last week to pressure iran not to launch an attack on israel which, obviously, did not work. now a whistleblower is stepping forward to expose what the federal government knew all along about the origins of covid 19. joining me now with more is the ranking member of the senate homeland security committee, senator rand paul. senator, it's great to see you. first, more pressing situations this morning after the attack from iran into israel. your reaction. >> you know, i think we're very fortunate that it was ineffective and israel's and u.s.' defenses were able to stop 97% of this. but i think one question that's not being asked enough this morning is every

mornings just railing against the democratic party, railing against the media, railing against anthony fauci and and this church was exploding in membership in fact, they grew more than tenfold during a period of about a year during the covid pandemic. and that growth was directly attributable to all of these folks leaving, churches like my home and they wanted something that was pugilistic they wanted something that militant and they found in this congregation this a kind of an unapologetic blood and soil christian national pastor who was deciding to cap allies on all of this anger and resentment and grievance that saw in the community from people toward their pastors who were unwilling to to do what, you know, he was doing was to effectively use the church as a weapon in, the culture wars. and he was rewarded for it this pastor, he was a rewarded for it mightily in terms of the growth of his congregation, in terms of the finances. in fact recently they moved into massive new facility down the road a spark bling new multimillion dollar facility because of all the growth from this project th
