time and time again, president biden has failed to hold the chinese communist party accountable. now, this congress must act. last year, the china task force developed more than 400 commonsense solutions to counter the chinese communist party's threat to our haegs, our -- to our health, our economy, and our way of life. we can start by implementing these legislative solutions and restoring america's leadership in the 21st century innovation. as a congress, we also should build upon the china task force investigation into the covid-19 pandemic origin, including whether the virus was engineered at the wuhan lab. why delay? how many more americans will need to be infected before we say enough? as my friend, leader mccarthy, has outlined, we need to demand transparency, and we must seek justice. we need to get to the bottom of this question and allow the truth to come to light. thanks to american ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, our nation has emparked on the long path to recovery -- embarked on the long path to recovery. however, while new cases are on the decline, the pandem

it is the 100th anniversary of the chinese communist party. ree that perhaps that's more a recognition of the party's devotion to raw power than it is to ideological purity? well, i think china is celebrating the centenary of the founding of the communist party of china, the biggest, largest, most important political party ever in human history, with almost 100 million party members. and the party is, indeed, invasive. it's omnipotent and omnipresent. however, i would say if any political force anywhere in the world really has some justification to be very proud of its achievements, it is the communist party of china. it has very solid track records. and i think this celebration is not only celebrating the communist party of china, but also the great transformation that china has gone through over the past a245 years in particular, or ever since 1949. this is not a celebration of the power grip. this is truly a good occasion for everyone to celebrate why we are the chinese today, and why we believe tomorrow will be better than today. you used a

this is the kind of things that the chinese communist party is engaged in. r someone like dr. fauci use talking points that could come from the chinese communist party foreign ministry is something that's inconsistent with making sure we get it right in the united states of america. ly leave to others to determine motivation. we ought to get to the bottom of it. but when folks find it hard to criticize the chinese communist party with all that they have done, the genocide in the west or what they did to the people of hong kong, when it's hard to criticize the chinese communist party it's very difficult to understand. maria: that's right. and you have to question it. okay, i want to also question what's going on in israel. you took a trip, met with bb netanyahu. give us your take on the abraham accords, incredible, historic agreement that is you brokered. four countries and israel to normalize relations with israel. are they in jeopardy given the new scenario on the ground in israel? what can you tell us? secretary: great trip to israel, wonderful to see peopl

chinese websites controlled by the communist party publish made up stories about where the virus originated >> since january chinese media have been under tighter than usual government controls. journalists have been arrested. social media platforms have been scrubbed. >> the chinese communist party poses a threat to our health, our way of life, as the wuhan virus outbreak clearly has demonstrated. >> china is a very serious threat to the united states, geopolitically, economically, militarily and a threat to the integrity of our institutions. maria: how will the president deal with the chinese dictator? it is playing out in real-time. this is "america versus china". the threat of china is not revolutionary. to understand the depth of it, you have to go back nearly 80 years when china moved towards marksism, which allows no room for dissent, you speak against the regime, you die. in the 60s, nearly 20 million people were killed or starved so he could keep power. nearly 30 years later, in 1989, hundreds of students led protesters calling for democracy and free speech were gunned down by chin

the second thing how much the media hated president trump and how much they side with the chinese communist partye third thing why was dr. fauci sending u.s. taxpayer dollars to a lab controlled by the communist chinese, then we have a pandemic and they refuse to let anybody from the united states into that lab, there are people that need to be held to account it sounds as if president biden is just beginning to realize that this is not something that donald trump's fault, this is something that came from wuhan, china otherwise why would the chinese communist party locked down wuhan and the province and you could go nowhere in the china if you're coming from wuhan or ebay but you can go to the airport and fly around. elizabeth: senator marsha blackburn, it's good to see you again, come back soon. elizabeth: let's get reaction your congressman lee zeldin is with us. your reaction, the president says yes investigating potential lab leak dr. fauci in the media downplayed, washington post reporter and columnist josh rogan saint dr. fauci and the nih are stonewalling probes into what the nih and niaid

president xi jinping is expected to really reinforce the case that it is the chinese communist party that has restored this country back to a position of wealth and international prestige. that is the view of the communist party, a country that is back in its rightful place. he will also underscore the proximity and that they now are to a moderately prosperous society, taking china closer to develop nations and certainly, they can tout some real economic achievements of course, around 800 million people lifted out of poverty and you have an economy that will be, by many people's accounting, the largest in the world by the end of this decade. the life expectancy has gone from 35 years to 77 years. per capita income is 10,000 u.s. dollars. this will also be an opportunity for president xi jinping to try and solidify his vision as the beating heart of this party and country as he looks ahead to the party congress next year, where he is very likely to push for a third, unprecedented third term as party secretary and president of china. the economic challenges of course are acute. the econ

still young and to better who are being awarded for what the communist party describes as baffling separatism and encouraging loyalty to the chinese communist party. of course, what we are waiting for though, is the big extravaganza taking place on july. the 1st one does day now and typical communist party style, much of it is shrouded in secrecy. but we do know that during the day, there'll be some sort of event taking place in gentlemen square. where hasn't she didn't being is expected to give a speech. and later in the day, they'll be a big celebration involving performances, music, and fireworks in the so called birds ness, the big olympic stadium here in the outskirts of the city. but as you mentioned this and henry is much bigger than what's happening this week. really, this has been loaded and promoted since the beginning of the year. we saw, as we saw in that package, people being crude to conduct read, tourism that is go to historic communist party sites. we've seen educational curriculum altered to reflect this big event. a lot of communist history material and content being read by students as well. and we've also seen

telling us something essential about the nature of the regime we are dealing with in this chinese communist party and the way this which they have systematically obstructed an international investigation into the origin of this disease. so i am calling upon speaker pelosi and my democratic colleagues to put aside the

we pressed the chinese communist party really hard. not just the state department but others too.withdrew from the w.h.o. which had become politicized. the administration chose to get back into that. i don't know what tools they think they will use. elizabeth: former fda director said scott gottlieb dr. fauci in the spring of last year did brief world health leaders it might have leaked from the wuhan lab. now he is flip-flopping, he is saying on the podcast of chelsea clinton he is the object of a pham noll amount of hostility merely for promoting simple public health principles. people are getting angry of dr. fauci. we're showing his flip-flops and confusing statements on camera. your reaction to what he is saying? >> my background is the military and one of the characteristics of leadership that we hook for is consistency and the fact that dr. fauci had flip-flopped on so many different issues is one where there has been an erosion of trust and respect. this is not an attack on science when there is a call for accountability and transparency. it's a call for answers and accoun

the chinese communist party's bid to replace our premise with their own ideology is obvious. whether we look at their fundamental disregard for human rights, their rampant in fact of intellectual property, their manipulation of the international trading system or their penchant for secrecy and cover-up which only worsened the covid-19 pandemic. as a result of this direct challenge to our way of life, the united states finds itself in a strategic competition we did not seek and we really do not want but which we must win. finish for republicans on the house foreign affairs subcommittee and the entire committee overall, this competition our top priority. and that's why, as you mentioned, as ranking member of the asian-pacific subcommittee if formerly the chair of that committee, i made advancing our strong policy to counter china my principal objective. fortunately in our subcommittee, i've been able to work across the aisle with chairman berra, and he actually was my ranking member when i was chair, and i'm the ranking member while he's chairman. we work together to expose chi

must lead if we're going to outgrow, outinnovate and outcompete the chinese communist party. litary applications so it is sentence we win this race in technology development so that we can win the 21st century against the chinese communist party. >> i agree with you. i agree this is a two-pronged thing. on one end there is whole reluctance in washington, d.c., we entered a cold war with china. we need to put our cards on the table. invest on one side but on the other side they're forcing things on us and other people we do business with. their clear goal is to topple the united states from the top of the heap. isn't this truly the definition of a cold war? >> you know, this is a different sort of conflict or rivalry that we have with the chinese communist party. we'll con tin to sell into their very large market but we need to bring the chinese communist party into a position of better behavior. to follow the rules that long existed of international trade and intellectual property protection and so forth because you know, to put it pointedly they have been ripping off our stuf

communist party. i've witnessed our country develop and become stronger. the chinese communist party was founded in 1921, with only a few dozen members to day. there are more than 90000000. the body has brought china unemployment since 949. and from the bottom to the top, all r a firm, their loyalty to the party ahead of july, the 1st general president sheet and paying has called on all sectors of society to promote the parties. history and ideology in the lead up to the celebration, the communists not only helped china to rise up and the chinese people to become strong and proud, prosperous, eventually. but they also instilled a nation building and national awareness in the minds of the chinese people. they realize that the chinese people are no longer we call you feel bold for months this isn't reflected in everything from communist party trivia game shows to television dramas, under president she didn't pain the communist party has cool bind marxism with capitalism, authoritarianism, and even traditional confucius ideal, but it's whole message remains the same that

results not because of what i said but because i succeeded in the ability that defeated the chinese communist party'sight for the 1.2 billion chinese that are not members of the elite chinese communist party and that especially goes for citizens in tibet, hong kong, who experienced the brutality of dictator xi, and of course the people in taiwan, were forced to live in fear everyday, just to preserve these freedoms. maria: so what is this administration doing? let's talk about the endless frontiers act. this seeks to remake and expand the national science foundation by creating a technology administration, keith. what do you know about this bill is it enough to keep the u.s. in the lead when it comes to technology which of course we know that the chinese communist party wants to overtake the u.s. as the number one superpower, including taking the lead on innovation and tech. >> maria, this is a very important bill, and we started this bill back with our global economic security strategy about a year and a half ago. we approached senator schumer and senator young, so this is $100 billion that goes to

communist party downplaying this. i just want to go through a lust of the chinese communist party and what it's done in 2020, okay? allowing this dangerous, deadly pandemic, disease to escape its borders, it also invaded hong kong with a smackdown, start imprisoning people like jimmy lye, a friend of this program. taking all of his assets. he's still sitting in jail in china. they invaded india over the himalayas, killed 20 indian soldiers. they obviously hid the -- and downplayed the coronavirus, and then they made threats to australia just a couple of weeks ago we saw the global times come out with a report recommending the ccp invade australia. this is the 2020 and 2023 that the chinese communist party has had -- 2021. obviously, they used the pandemic to unsaid and gain otherrer the invade and gain other territory, and now a growing number of multi-national companies are starting to consider exiting hong kong following the crackdown on the city's autonomyies this is according to the "wall street journal." i always remember hong kong to be an international business hub. it is no longer that at all as we watch c

or they give us a sense of the place to the communist party has in ordinary chinese life. for instance, if you want to have career growth in your chosen profession, does it help to be a party member? if you choose a public korea, if you are work in state or enterprises, it definitely helps on this. and kennedy anniversary mathias, what is the message that the communist party is trying to send out to citizens and to the world in general, confidence, confidence, and confidence. that is what the communist party uses as a slogan often. and this is what they show this celebration is of course, massive. it is pompous that is to show that the communist party is in control to show of achievement. this is one of the things that sees him thing has driven forward since he has come to power to make the communist party more visible, his predecessors have chosen to make the party more of an organization that is very powerful in the backseat. but that does not show itself that visibly to the outside world. we can see this, for example, some examples the, the heads of the states in pink of

the chinese communist party turns 100.mer us defence secretary donald rumsfeld has died at the age 88. hello and welcome to bbc news. the american entertainer bill cosby has had his conviction for sexual assault overturned by the supreme court of pennsylvania. mr cosby, who's 83, has served more than two years of his sentence at a state prison near philadelphia. he had originally been found guilty of drugging and molesting a woman in 200a. but dozens of other women had also publicly accused him of sexual assault, but no further action was taken against him. michelle fleury reports. this is the moment bill cosby left prison a free man. he had served two years of a three to ten—year sentence. his fall from grace was sealed in 2018, after he was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault for drugging and molesting andrea constand in 200a. but in a stunning reversal, pennsylvania's highest court said the entertainer should never have been charged. in the split ruling, the judges wrote the trial shouldn't have gone ahead be

also, the chinese communist party is celebrating its and teen re we look at how president cheating ping is tightening control by building a personality called open a kingdom in crisis protested democratic freedom. minutes for teenie africa, last absolute monarchy. ah, welcome to the program. he was the 1st celebrity to be tried and convicted for sexual assault in the me to era. but now us, comedian bill cosby has been released from prison. after pennsylvania's supreme court overturned his conviction, he returned to his philadelphia home on wednesday, just hours after his release. the 83 year old served more than 2 years for 10 years sentence on charges of drinking and assaulting a woman in 2004. during the trial, the judge allowed both her testimony as well as that of 5 other accuses to show a pattern of abuse. the state's highest court says the testimony of the 5 others tainted the trial. oh, bill cosby tweeted that we quote, he's never changed. his stands or his story, i think that he's always maintained his innocence, and he's thanked his fans, the porters and friends, as well as the

they serve as the pleasure of the chinese communist party.s if you go on facebook today, you will findth videos from chinese state medias such as the global times and china daily. that whitewashes the tiananmen square massacre that left hundreds dead, many of them students and you see videos of that. facebook has no problem with it. so a question for mark zuckerberg, would be, what is your justification for allowing chinese state media to be pushing propaganda prevent you take away donald trump's platform? by a the way domestically as an example, how does adam schiff continue to have a facebook page? he said if he had tangible evidence of collusion, but he between russia, the kremlin, trump, and the aids gets to keep that on here. what sticks out to me the most, sean, it was help silent journalists have been on this ban of donald trump. you would think people in this business would embrace more speech instead of less speech because the book livelihoods depend on that more speech part. that is not happening. and to your point, facebook sensors

on the same evening, several chinese cities staged light shows to mark the communist parties. history. and on tuesday, chinese president asian paying awarded loyal party members with metals. she loaded them to that selfless sacrifices in helping to achieve national independence and prosperity. and he called on all for a continued here and to marxism i, let's get more of this from corresponding with his building, which i've been from bay doing it is. it's very important milestone for the communist party, no doubt. but is it the same for chinese citizens as well? it's very hard to say how much chinese citizens really participate with interest in these celebrations. on the other hand, there's also no way to evade the whole city is under a special regime. during the celebration metro lines or stations have been closed, the roads are close to carry the delegates to participate in the celebration from one place to another. in the past year, i would say that the communist party might have made some gains and public opinion due to their response to cove. it people have at least seen th

way they discuss the situation at the start of the pandemic. >> implies good faith by the chinese communist party the 30 second anniversary of tiananmen square where we saw the brutality of this regime which doesn't care about human life. don't think they care people in wuhan were dying weather was chinese people, americans, it is naÏve beyond all possible imagination. the chinese government doesn't care for a moment, they have no desire for the world to know what happened, they could clear this up in a minute if they wanted to be. they've chosen not to. that's another link in the chain that demonstrates when we get to the end of this we will have demonstrated that the chinese knew what had happened and there virology lab was at the center of it. >> one at the center went on face the nation in february to lay out the lab leak evidence and you probably don't remember it because it never aired but here it is now. >> the types of research that were underway by the civilian staff of the wuhan institute of virology and also military researchers, studies into exactly the kinds of viruses that are 96% s

standpoint of movies. aging is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the centennial of the chinese communist party. but it's a party that remains under extremely tight control. when my 2nd gets denied, grew up during chinese cultural revolution. today she lives in the us and runs china. change a website covering the stories that don't make it past the sensors shining a light on human rights abuses in china. joshua tell joins me now. it's good to have you on the program. trying to communist party is turning a 100 years old. it has ruled the country for over 70 years. it out lived the soviet union. what is the secret to success? pipe control. so the 1st 30 years, i've heard the program before me it was the disastrous right? so the, the opening up and the reform, it's really a half hearted. there are things they wanted to open up and the reform to take advantage of the rest of the world, the market and technology and the world. welcome to china. but they're all parked depth of china. not the communist party has never meant to to reform open up to answer your question. ready the secrets are really, it

in america thinking no one could conduct themselves irrefutably but the sad truth is the chinese communist partydly acted apprehensively and hong kong and their repression and their behavior in the south china sea. david: going to put out a theory that a lot of people talking about that, it's possibly conceivable they knew how dangerous the virus was, the beginning of the year in 2020, before we all realized what we were up against they didn't want to take it all in, they wanted to level the playing field of the virus worldwide and that's why they affected the rest of the world when they could have done more to prevent it, is that conceivable? >> that's one of the most important questions the president will have to face and it does seem that if you look at the world not through our eyes but xi jinping's eyes and the fall of 2019 was not going so well even before the virus, they were taking considerable international lack on these issues i mentioned and in addition our economy was not doing so well and the american economy was coming along but when you add to that the weight of this terrible burd

the chinese communist party is guilty of obstruction of evidence. it's clear. it is clear. now, while we -- while the majority has denied calls for an investigation, continuing the cult of fear -- and let me talk about the cult of fear. remember touching a doorknob was supposed to give you a virus, you couldn't shake hands, you had to buy as much toilet paper as you should and heaven forbid, your kids can't go to school. and we're told terrorists and science deniers. ladies and gentlemen, let's stop the cult of fear. let's stop it. let's beseech the majority party to do an investigation because the american people deserve to know the origin of this virus. with that i yield back and thank the gentleman. mr. gimenez: thank you, congressman. my opening statements were about china and their complicity and we do need to investigate china and the world health organization and what did they know when did they know it. as i said, if we had known this about one, two, three weeks earlier, we could have saved an incredible number of lives. so now, mr. speaker, congressman michael mccl

committee that the chair just mentioned, madam ambassador, i'm very concerned about the chinese communist party's influence at the united nations. the previous administration had determined that the c.c.p. had penetrated quite deeply into the u.n. system itself. and several chinese nationals, for example, were really reporting back to beijing instead of to their u.n. entity. does the administration have a comprehensive, systematic plan to address this undo influence that the chinese communist party has and root out bad staff there at the u.n.? ms. thomas-greenfield: i am also concerned about that. it is very much on our agenda. we are working with our allies and our friends to ensure that like-minded or people are put in positions of power in the united nations, but in order to do that -- and countries demand that the u.n. hire their nationals. and the chinese have pushed that agenda more aggressively in the past few years than they've ever done before. and we have to push our agenda to ensure that americans, our allies are put in some of those key positions. we engage with the u.n. system on the

. >> we know the chinese communist party lied and withheld information in the early days and i'm sureond on what happened, what was going on in that lab and around wuhan and ultimately was spread throughout the world. >> martha: a lot of questions. house minority whip steve scalise announcing that gop lawmakers will have their own hearing in the origins of covid-19 this coming tuesday. this comes as to whether congress looked into the 2019 world military games, that were held in wuhan, china, infected more than 9,000 athletes that traveled to those games. mike gallagher wrote a letter to defense secretary lloyd austin and general mark milley writing "given unanswered questions surrounding the origins of the pandemic, information involving the health of service members that participated in the 2019 games could provide key evidence in understanding when covid-19 first emerged." joining me now, the author of that letter, congressman mike gallagher and steve scalise who you saw there. he led the gop press conference today on the origins of the pandemic. great to have you with us, gentleme

because donald trump existed on one side of this equation and the chinese communist party existed on the other side the democratic party by default parroted the lines of the chinese communist party. therefore now they have a hard time divorcing themselves from that or investigating the fault in their own conclusions for the past year. they have a conflict of interest just like ecohealth alliance or anyone else who made sure we didn't know the origins of covid for the better part of a year. they can't be trusted to investigate. they don't want to investigate the origins of covid. you think about why it matters, it really does matter. i asked this question on "fox & friends" and my podcast, why does it matter whether or not covid came from a labor a wet market? it matters because we took advice from these people had either had a conflict of interest and told us lies or showed a large amount of incompetence. we placed trust in these people for a year and we know to know how compromised or incompetent they are. >> harris: we want the truth. we want to evolve after the pandemic and never h

communist party and its propaganda. americans should take heed, censorship that starts in china does not stay in china. and, general, they go through the facts of how the chinesenot allowed to know anything about what happened in tiananmen square. if you're in china, you can't, obviously, google any of that or get the details on that. but there's more than that. i mean, they tried to censor and change so many stories, they're following the political debates in america. so when the journal says, when the censorship starts in china it doesn't stay in china, we're actually seeing that take place here in the u.s. as well. and the censorship may very well be coming from the ccp. what do we do about this? >> yeah. this is the reality of what we're doing, we've got to come prehend how massive controlling information is to the chinese. they know full well, they need the willing support and submission of their people. the social compact. they let the ccp control their lives. they have to submit to them and, therefore, they can have their own economic and prosperous advancement based on their own capabilities. what has actually happened here? they obscure their history,

we spend less than half as much as the chinese communist party on basic research. the world is more competitive now than in any time since the end of the 2nd world war. if we do nothing, our days, if the dominant superpower may be ending the welcome to the day we begin with the revelation of some of america's richest men, paid no income tax. in recent years, investigative journalism unit pro public says it has same tax returns showing the 1000000000 as well, legally able to avoid taxation. a potentially explosive issue in the time of rising inequality. u. s. tax or therapy says, is investigating how confidential cash records will leaked. there the world's richest men, jeff phasers, what ilan musk, and they pay less taxes than most people. while living mind blowing, lifestyles pro public revealed that pays those paid no taxes in 20072011, while must paid on in 2018. the billionaires don't seem to have done anything illegal. they just use tax avoidance strategies beyond the reach of ordinary americans. super billionaires get their well from the growing value of their

p, we spend less than half of march the chinese communist party. on basic research. we rely on foreign nations to surprise crit, supply critical technologies that we invented like semiconductors. indeed, the u. s. global market share of semiconductor manufacturing has steadily eroded from 37 percent in 1990 to about 12 percent today. and recently, a trip shortage has exposed vulnerabilities and the u. s. supply chain. the center piece of the new bill is a $50000000000.00 investment in semiconductor development and manufacturing. there's also $29000000000.00 to establish new directors focused on artificial intelligence and quantum signs with a national science foundation and $52000000000.00 for research programs. they are over all the build calls for investments of about $250000000000.00 with most of the spending occurring in the 1st 5 years in a major effort to decrease the u. s. dependency on chinese product. ah, now a dispute of the use of the term basmati has left a sour taste in the mouth of india and pakistan. both countries, grove, the much loved variety of ric

control over its territory has long been a goal of the chinese communist party.ation, when china was weak and divided by foreign nations, when hong kong was still a british colony. there's no doubt the law is changing hong kong. ah nam was once part of the student protest movement. translation: most of our generation is l going through this. they are compelled to, or are planning to, leave their homes. many of my friends in hong kong are either arrested or have been persecuted with political cases. many others have left hong kong due to the national security law and other reasons. despite more than 100 arrests since the law was introduced, some are determined to continue speaking out. herbert chao's shop sells protest memorabilia. it was raided by the national security police. instead of trying to use the national security law as a law to protect the national security of china in hong kong, and if they decided to use it as a weapon, to silence people, and they arrest you, what can i say? what can i do? i'm not going to change the way i live just because there is
