here now, the host of "special report" bret baier. officials, they don't believe the outbreak was linked to any man-made biological weapons program according to your report and they do not believe the contamination was intentional. do we know this for certain or is there a possibility it was manufactured. a possibility that this was intentional. you have confirmed in your reporting they protected their country, but they let the lid rest of the world get this virus. >> sean, good evening. there is zero confidence in the people i talked to and publicly that this was a man-made virus. you heard tony fauci asked this question in a way about the lab in the white house task force briefing tonight and he said that there are a lot of studies that show it was transmitted from animal to human and that it was not genetically altered. that matches what our sources say and we reported in the beginning they didn't think based on the structure of the genome of the virus that it was man-made. now the thing that is inconclusive is exactly about the la

we just had bret baier who is our political correspondent on.ouldn't wring an opinion out of him. if i tried. he won't give his opinion there is not one person on cnn period. like that. not one. is there? >> not on a prime time lineup. what is amazing is they claim to the old model of thinking that they are so right in their opinions that thatth subjectivity which is both delusional and a little scary, but i would say this. there is also up broader issue here and people are not trying to rewrite the history of who said what about the pandemic and, conservative media was wrong, that's ridiculous and a farce. even beyond that the lack of trust that we have now and objective news media that claims to be objective at least, that has been a big problem because of course there is the sense that these people are pushing an agenda in places like cnn. of course, it's absurd to think otherwise, so then when we get lectured and talked down to for saying, hold on a second. when for example nancy pelosi holds up funding for america small businesses and they

bret baier. thanks for joining me today. this is a wonderful display, it's called a collaborative salute to honor those battling the covid-19 pandemic. >> yeah, it's amazing, dana, good afternoon. it's amazing to see these flyovers, whenever you see them in person, you have to take into account that the blue angels within a week, and the thunderbirds with the air force have had dozens of shows canceled around the country, so it's already kind of baked in the cake budget wise, some critics say we don't need flyovers, we need something else, this is to lift spirits, that already seems to be having an effect. doctors and nurses on the rooftops of hospitals cheering as they go by, and you know, if we had sports, we would probably be standing up in the fourth inning, or psychic period for doctors and nurses on the front lines. this is kind of like that. >> dana: in fact, i saw shelby holliday, one of our reporters at "the wall street journal," she's in new york, and had video of the flyover that took place there about an hour ago

you're to break this all down for us is the host of "special report," bret baier is with us. my question off the bat, you've gotten these emails, i've gotten these emails, you read social media, i read social media. i have been sent so many of these things, look at them. i just said, can't be true. it's like a conspiracyy theory.r look into it, never saw any evidence. you have evidence tonight but what specific evidence have you uncovered? >> shone from a good evening. from multiplee sources who have been briefed at the beginning part of the origins of china and the beginning of the virus. they have also seen documents, openen source and classified. we have asked to see those documents directly. butt they are saying that it is increasingly likely, there is increasing confidence that the virushe, covid-19, started in tt wuhan lab not as a bio weapon -- let's just be clear about that. there is no one who is saying that this was a bio weapon. >> sean: how do we know that? >> we would. these sources are not saying it. they say it occurred naturally because china was trying to sho

bret baier. >> see you, tucker. >> tucker: gretchen whitmer has spent most of her working life in thebby small bore confines of michiganan state politics. that is not a training ground for excellence. when she was elected governor a little over a year and half ago, nobody expected that whitmer would suddenly morph into a wise and inspired chief executive. and indeed she hasn't. when the coronavirus hit michigan in force last month, whitmer had no clue what to do, so she responded with a mixture of comical ineptitude and a weird kind of arbitrary fascism. sheco banned the sale of carpets and paint and potted plants. she told people they couldn't fish or go to church or drive alone to their own homes. but at the same time, whitmer kept liquor stores, weed shops, and lotto kiosks open because, and this was purely an epidemiological matter, in the interest of public health, those were essential services, quote. they also happen to providedevi massive tax revenue to her government.th thess whole thing was ridiculou. it was just a matter of time before the people suffering under this insani

a full report last night, remember, bret baier revealed from multiple sources that the coronavirus likely originated in a wuhan viral lab. it wasn't created in the lab, very clear about that, and patient zero was a worker in the lab who became infected by a bat. as of now, accidentally. that's what bret is reporting. no report that the virus is man-made. according to bret, patient zero was a worker in that lab and was infected by a bat. creepiest, ugliest creatures on earth, them and rats. the weeks that followed, china shut down all domestic travel to and from wuhan. people from wuhan could and traveled to china, but they allowed people in wuhan province to travel all over the world. china knew how dangerous it was so they protected their own citizens but put the entire world at risk. we know how bad this is now. tens and tens of thousands dead, thousands and thousands hospitalized, millions contracting this virus. economies shut down. but they protected themselves. those reports are true. do you know what that means? if down the capacitors report is on target, that would mean the chines

it is part of bret baier's reporting that the lab was trying to work on competing with americans.een in our university is. they tried to build and bar chinese literary services from working in american labs. do you think that that would be something that we would not want going on. the visa program for chinese students is riddled with spies who come here and steal information from phd programs. harvard, that professor was arrested in january who was a top chemist at harvard who was working with the wuhan lab. so this is a bigger box of issues that is fun have to be addressed. i'm not surprised at all that this is where it is going. >> dana: juan, there was reporting that health officials had raised concerns about this particular lab and the sloppiness by which the workers, the scientists there were not following proper protocols. this is going back even a few years ago. >> juan: yeah, so what you have is a situation that is plausible. i think that is your point. we have every reason to say, this could be the case. and again, to reiterate what katie just said, it's not that they cr
