we had senator mike braun on earlier, he said it's not only about holding china accountable, but peopleitutions here in the united states as well. >> i think not only what happens to china, but also if any of our officials were involved with it, it's got a lot of consequences. i think it'll just verify what we've learned in many other arenas. china is not a handshake business partner on anything. and if this came out of that lab and they tried to suffocate it in terms of not getting to the bottom of it, that's kind of the crowning blow of what could have been maybe a competitive relationship as biden likes to, you know, phrase it. it's obviously a geopolitical issue that has grave consequences. we'll see what happens. we'll see what's there. will: accountability here at home. rachel: of course. will: ecohealth alliance, peter daszak, dr. fauci, how much did we contribute to funding if this did leak from the lab? rachel: and what did they do to cover it up? we like to think when it comes to china and the united states that we as americans are all on the same team, but this might expose m

bipartisan group of senators led by mike braun, democrat john tester giving us the bipartisan monikert people associated with governments of our main adversaries from buying ag land in our country, china, russia, iran, north korea have been designated as threats to national security by the office of the dni. now this ban, to your point, stu , does not apply to u.s. citizens or immigrants who are lawfully admitted for permanent residence to our country. you remember last summer, chinese food manufacturer made headlines for purchasing 370- acres of land in north dakota. only 15 miles away from grand forks air force base. that is a center for both space and air operations. i think this is a great idea. we need to do this. not discriminating against immigrants. discriminating against the governments that are our adversaries. stuart: tell us how you feel there, todd, let me move on. i have a related story directly related. communities in rural michigan pushing back on plans by chinese -owned firms to build battery plants in their towns. look whose here. tudor dixon is the former republican

we will have senator mike braun on later today here is how he described his bill which passed with senatori know i'm calling it bipartisan. same way democrats it call romney and they call it bipartisan i'm calling it bipartisan as crazy as that sounds senator braun says the reason for it is because he doesn't want money managers to invest based on progressive political goals rather than on the best rate of return another way to say it, senator manchin said it prioritizes politics over getting the best return for millions of american's retirement funds. >> that's what they say. i want to start with the g the g in esg is underrated we got the new york city pension fund $240 billion retirement security of teachers, cops and firefighters. we brought shareholder resolution at a couple of pharmaceutical companies because we didn't think they had strong enough rules against insider trading. maybe braun doesn't care about insider trading. we view insider trading as steals from the teachers and cops and firefighters. >> you are setting up a strongman here the g is good. >> this is a shareholder res

my colleague from indiana, senator mike braun has introduced a cra that would block a recent departmentf labor rule that would have fiduciaries to consider governance factors. i don't know about you, but most people who are retired and beginning to retire and looking at their accounts they're going to be living on, they would rather see their returns in the most profitable way possible and in the end that's better for all of us. this effort would full fie the department of labor and prevent similar rules from taking affect. it has similar impacts on states like mine by steering capital away from the american energy sector. we should invest in the american energy sector. i have introduced my own cra in response to a repeated overreach by the biden administration. last december the biden administration launched its latest round of regulatory overreach through waters of the u.s. it marked the third major change to the definition of what waters are in this country and which ones are subject to federal jurisdiction. this is is the third time it -- this is the third time it changed over eight
