work and hope donald trump did not do anything wrong, and there were people like jim jordan and john ratcliffe and others.

yesterday i spoke with former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe about this. . the biden administration will continue to get criticism for being soft on china and they're not helping themselves by putting people in that have had ties with the chinese communist party. it's inexplicable that this administration suspect -- isn't confronting. almost 600,000 people died by a virus that the chinese communist party very clearly, negligently allowed to be exported around the world and the fact that the biden administration will not nt confront them on the origins of this and hold them accountable, it's disrespectful for everyone who lost a loved one in the worst pandemic of our lifetime. maria: dagen mcdowell, what john ratcliffe was referring to earlier in the soundbite the confirmation hearing last week of an individual nominated by the biden administration to become the general council of the office of national intelligence. he formerly worked for hauwei. it's unbelievable. that's who they are putting forth for the general council for the office of the dni. someone

to russia and china, joe biden's foreign policy wonder former national intelligence director john ratcliffen the advice he gave the biden administration on the way out and why they ignored it. in gaza, will the cease-fire hold, then breaking news across joe biden summer plan to jam through as much tax-and-spend policy as possible, arkansas tom cotton including biden's plan to give the u.s. treasury direct surveillance of the flows in your bank account. then surveillance deadly experiments from the heavy hand of communist china here is congressman devin nunes on this program last week. >> i think they're sitting on suppressing a lot of intelligence that the american people should see in order to know how to move ahead over the coming next years as china continues to gain control of the life science arena and global economy and trying to move all the technology back to china while at the same time not answering basic questions about the origin of the virus. maria: world health organization advisor on how the pandemic started and why china is trying so hard to stop the investigation as dr. fau

maria: before we dive into the middle east, you heard john ratcliffe predicting what is happening.ate department, what did you know about the origins of the coronavirus, sir? mike: maria, we worked to get every bit of evidence that we could. we tried to deliver this, the cdc tried to work with the chinese and they covered it up terribly. but every piece of evidence that we saw throughout the entire time suggested that this originated in the laboratory, at the wuhan institute of virology. i haven't seen a shred of evidence that suggest to the contrary. the evidence continues to accumulate despite the fact that the communist would not allow anybody to have access to the laboratory, the original materials, the doctors that were working there, the list of the cover-up efforts is staggering and the combination of the circumstantial evidence that we have combined with the intense effort to deny us information about that lab suggest to me strongly that this is where it originated. maria, as devin said, the risk that something like this happens from that laboratory or another chinese labor

john ratcliffe who i talk to a lot reminded me that those conversations about a for sale towards the over the world and do it by way of information, so i would ask our viewers to keep in mind that china has a military civil fusion law and we have a bill of rights. they have a military that can access whatever information they want whenever they want to and we have ron wyden, rand paul and the bill of rights. we better figure out what they are up to. >> bret: speaking of two different cultures, you had sports teams in georgia and major league baseball pulling out of the voting problems they are, the nba is still very cozy with china and maybe even cozier. take a listen. >> you have the nba continuing to compete with china. they want to get back on china tv because they are putting the dollar ahead of holding china accountable for the that is taking place against the uighurs. >> we have a solid relationship that continues to grow. specifically in asia. so we are very bullish on it. >> bret: its business, but the disparity is obvious. >> i think the explanation is it's just business. it

former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe joined me on sunday morning futures of who is hamas. >> let's be clear about this, the 4,000 rockets that went into israel were not hamas rockets, they were iranian markets, they were paid for or put together by hamas military trained by iran and you don't have to take my word for it, the iranian leader two days ago took credit for the victory. maria: joining me right now fox news strategic analyst general jack keane, good to see you as always, your reaction on what you're hearing this morning, john ratcliffe, my guest on sunday and where we are and do you believe the cease fire will hold? >> i do think the cease fire will hold and that's because israel want today degrade capability and they were achieving that end and they didn't stop it until they made certain that the military objective was achieved. so, yes, i think this is going to hold for some time. i mean, the real issue strategically here is what the former director just identified and that is the chief sponsor in the region that's destabilizing the middle east region is

the public and the media weren't told so for example former director of national intelligence john ratcliffinto the conversation the other day the fact that the satellite imagery of all of this and some of the speeds being reported seem to blow the theory about foreign drones out of the water. we must be told what is going on here. and we should think of this upcoming report to congress as an intelligence assessment of the phenomenon itself and one that's long overdue. >> tucker: there are a lot of these. this is not like, you know, some drunk guy in a rural road in northern new hampshire saw something weird. i mean, this is the u.s. military regularly veryno often recording these objects. >> yes, absolutely. it's pilots, it's radar operators, it's satellite data,c it's measurement and signature intelligence. there's such a lot of information now, so much that the u.s. navy has instructions for its pilots on what to do if they encounter these things. now, i think as we go into may, the run up to this report going to congress, there's going to be a lot of things going on behind the scenes a

the reality is that we felt -- the secretary felt as did the nsc and the dni, john ratcliffe, that this was essential. the new administration should be aware of this and the american people and the world knew that we had very definitive information, only a bit we put out publicly that showed that they were engaged in this classified secret effort to develop the super viruses and that it appeared that it had spilled out of that laboratory. that was the only plausible information that we were presented. i went and asked the nic and the cdc. we asked our labs, give us the zoonitic file. we want the proof. they came back with little. they said we know what the virus looks like. this had to come out of nature. you have to believe us. i'm like that's not proof. that is a joke. >> martha: are you 100% positive that the chinese in that wuhan lab were working on bio weapons in the form of viruses? >> they were working on duel use research capabilities. okay? a weapon is these days, you know, largely driven by intent. all of our top drug companies can cook up a bio weapon in their labs in a perio

we can never agree on anything from a bipartisan perspective, but you've got obama and john ratcliffeo a bipartisan consensus on ufos, much to emily's excitement! for their being ufos, we aren't worried we should be. more so than emily is. [laughter] >> harris: i think they will be family. my mother was convinced when i was in college that i was dating someone from a ufo.

have president obama who says ufos exist, you are a republican national intelligence formerly john ratcliffey the same, and now we are hearing that they might be far more advanced than u.s. aircraft, are you concerned? >> harris: what i am concerned about is really what the unidentified portion really means, i think it's really cool and fun to think that things may be coming here from another world. what i would be worried about is our enemies doing some stuff because it's unidentified flying objects, it doesn't say necessarily that they came from a different planet. so we do know that we have some haters and when you look at the request on some of the markings of these you know that some in the media must be aware of this, in and the military is always working on things of our enemies or if they are from another world let's hope they're friendly and if they are our enemies trying to fly faster than we do, let's find out as much as we can and if that's the case, you don't have to tell us, keep it to yourselves because we want to be able to fight them if we have to, those enemies on the groun

maria: that was former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe on this program last weekend administration on his way out which they clearly ignored. four months later, gaza lies in ruins. the u.s. has pledged nearly $400 million to the palestinians, and our own secretary of state did not even utter the word iran once during his recent trupp to israel. join -- trip to israel. joining me now is general jack keane, a retired four-star army yen and a presidential medical of freedom recipient, the highest civilian honor. the memorial day weekend with, sir, we thank you for your service. general, it's good to see you. >> it's great seeing you, maria. maria: so what is your take on all of this? the ceasefire in place, does it last? what are your thoughts about all of the money is sent to the palestinian authority? have we changed course entirely in the middle east? >> well, we're beginning to, and i said that when the biden administration calm -- came in, while it looked like they were going the move in the right direction about china, wasn't sure about russia, but i was convinced

john ratcliffe slammed the biden administration for not doing enough to confront china. >> they put a 200 page plan on covid-19 not one word on the origins of covid-19 even though there is increasingly intelligence and evidence that indicates that the origins was a lab leak from the wuhan institute of virology. they aren't helping themselves by putting people in with ties with the chinese communist party or doing work for china and the chinese communist party into this administration. >> bill: we'll talk to former secretary of state mike pompeo about all of this. first rich edson leads our coverage from the state department this morning. hello, rich. >> good morning, bill. three researchers from the wuhan institute of virology were sick enough in november of 2019 that they went to the hospital. this is according to a report in the "wall street journal." in january the state department revealed that the u.s. government had reason to believe that several researchers there had become sick in the autumn of 2019. former state department official who worked here during the trump administrat

i mean, john ratcliffe said this on sunday on sunday morning futures that let's not make any mistake,tely. maria: they were led by iran. so why is joe biden trying to get the u.s. back into the iran nuclear deal? >> because he has not a clue as to what's happening there. and he doesn't seem to understand that the reason that there's been relative peace for the last several years is because donald trump didn't lift those sanctions. he kept them in place. he put the pressure on iran. they didn't have the kind of money to support the proxy government of hezbollah and what a mass, terrorist organizations out of both lebanon and gaza. the result was you didn't have this going on, hadn't happened since 2014. who was in office in 2014? it was obama and biden. their policies failed. the middle east was a mess. say what you want to about president trump. he threw all of the conventional protocols out the window, created the abraham accords, had for the first time significant progress in the middle east with arab countries establishing normal relationships with israel. he leaves, biden comes in
