there is a reason why hhs is saying they're prohibiting peter daszak from receiving federal funds.ong overdue and a result of our committee exposing this connection. i think there could have been something nefarious that took place and warrants further investigation. hhs is coming out now saying they're debarring peter daszak after they said they aren't allowing eco health to receive federal funds. where there is smoke there is fire and we need to continue to expose what is going on. we should point out that dr. morens is still receiving a government salary. we're still paying him upwards of $188,000 a year no longer performing the official duties. he needs to be fired and should no longer be receiving taxpayer money. this warrants i believe a criminal investigation by the d.o.j. >> dana: thank you for being with us this morning. it is good there is curiosity and we'll pay attention to june as that is certainly going to be an eye opening one as well. i want to play it for anybody who thinks that there is -- that this is just a partisan exercise. play this from the hearing. two demo

others related to the origin when it started hitting the fan anyway the congressman got a copy of peter daszakrom seven nih you now is to get any reply tony and i or anyone else may have sent back to peter. mine was a race long ago i verified that today and i feel pretty sure tony's was two. the best way to avoid foia hassles is to delete all e-mails when you learn a subject is getting sensitive. in any case there's nothing here except opportunities to hassle, harass and huff and puff. he got into some opportunities also june 16, 2020 is that lawyers are dreadful and paranoia inducing. in the old days we had to do them ourselves by hand. mining and printing out thousands of e-mails coming in and going out. now they sometimes avoid it text messages to but many turned up thousands of pages of docs and most are meaningless but we all smart enough to know to never have smoking guns. and if we did we would not put them in e-mails. and if we found them, we would delete them. he wrote on february 24, 2021 you said you are right i need to be more careful part however as i mentioned once before i learn

on april 18, 2020, you wrote an email saying get peter daszak e-mail me congratulating him on standing up for science. that email somehow fell into the hands of the congressman. probably via a foia of someone who didn't delete it as i did, and others relating to the origins, when the shit started hitting the fan. somewhat at nih, he now wants to get any reply anyone may have sent to peter. mine was erased long ago. i verified that today and feel pretty sure tony's was too. the best way to avoid foia hassles is to delete all emails when you learn a subject is getting sensitive. in any case, there's nothing here except opportunities to hassle, harass, you got into some opportunities. you wrote on june 16, 2020, foias are dreadful, in the old days we had to do them ourselves by hand, thousands of e-mails coming in and going out. sometimes foia text messages too. many turn up thousands of pages, most are meaningless. we are all smart enough to know to never have smoking guns and if we did we wouldn't put them in e-mails and if we found them, we delete them. you wrote on february 24, 2021,

this was morens to peter daszak peter, just got the news that a freedom of information act request pickednt you saying that tony commented he was brain-dead. jokingly, of course. however ron johnson is all over it and now after me. tony will be pissed, rightly so and i deleted that but now every email i sent or got since 1998 will be captured and turned over whether or not ancillary deleted it. gmail, phone, text, i need to scrupulously rely on those exclusively." quick final thought, doctor. >> again the the exclamation point on how disappointed i am personally to see individuals in this leadership position have such total disregard. the american public has a right to know when i ran the cd/ci knew all of my emails were potentially public information. they have the right of access to that and that's all we had the freedom of information act and i think there was a aggressive attempt to get around the freedom of information act. i don't think they succeeded, as you know, because i got his emails now, but the fact is they attempted to do it and i think that is an arrogance that does not be

trump administration and there was some discussion in these e-mails between testifying here, and peter daszakut how perhaps to get that reversed, that decision reversed. >> neil: and ecohealth ultimately instructed to shutdown and was defunded and put out of business on this. the time when here's important though because they get the feeling that this was known very early on, that either doctor daszak, or some of the other key players were also exchanging e-mails back and forth on their own private e-mail accounts. there's no indication of that. so whatever questions or issues they were raising because they were doing on foia accessible accounts, so they face that side issue. the other one that does not add up here, in the middle of the covid-19 deaths and everything else that was gripping the world, they were looking at the time, i can we hide this, there doesn't seem to be any proof or hint of that at the time, a great deal of questions about this wuhan lab and who is funding that. but we gotta put some of this in context, there's a bay gold fire going on here and we were trying and the age

another thing with doctor, doctor moran that's coming to tomorrow, he has said numerous times that peter daszakance, was his best friend. so there's a lot of conflicts of interest that our witness has tomorrow. and i think the american people are going to learn a lot more about the not only the origins of covid 19, but what our government knew and what our government tried to cover up about their knowledge of covid. chairman, last one, i want to switch to the trump trial that we're seeing play out to the astonishment of many people that thought our system was unbiased, our our legal system, it it really represents what you've been trying to uncover and oversight about this two tiered justice system. you only got about 30s, but opine on that for us. well look, if you're not a part of the ruling class, if you're trying to, go on the other side of the ruling class, then you're you're at risk of being, subject to court, we've got to weaponize court. this is all being led by merrick garland and the democrat national committee. the american people are seeing this play out minute by minute during the

permanent email address to -- they regard controversial eco health alliance and its president peter daszak. in april of 2021 morens wrote him i can either send stuff to tony or his private g-mail or hand it to him at his work at home. too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble. there was no evidence released yesterday that fauci used personal email for official discussions. at this hearing, morens drew bipartisan criticism. >> it is government business if you are advising him and advocating on his behalf and editing letters he wanted to send to nih. you did that on personal email, correct? >> i don't remember. if i did i shouldn't have done that. that's wrong. >> he said he believed his emails with eco health alliance were personal. he wrote the because of death threats and general harassment of me and my boss, tony fauci, we have to keep communications like this on private email so it can't be retrieved via foia. the trump administration in 2020 terminated funding for the project in china. in response to morens's emails the department of health and human services

peter daszak of the ban yesterday.onavirus pandemic questioned the national institutes of health's deputy director about his agency's oversight of federal grants it is up to the grantee to oversee themselves. this is a recipe for waste, fraud, abuse and deception. >> hhs accuses ecohealth of failing to adequately monitor experiments it funded at china's wuhan institute of virology it. also says ecohealth neglected to keep the u.s. government informed and provide notes from those experiments. >> did ecohealth ever produce the requested notebooks? >> they have not. >> in its letter to daszak, hhs writes quote debarment is generally for a period not to exceed three years but says that could last shorter or longer depending on circumstances. ecohealth says it will appeal and that, quote: we disagree strongly with decision and will present evidence to refute each of these allegations. republicans maintain the organization funded dangerous research that may have sparked the pandemic. democrats say the subcommittee has no pro

any damage to ecohealth alliance -- who was just debarred by the federal government and so was peter daszakamage to ecohealth alliance and therefore protect nih and niad. things are underway to protect you at ecohealth alliance. i worked with the foia lady and all things are safe now. and, by the way, she hates foye as as well. >> lawrence: congressman, i'm sorry to interrupt you. >> no, you're good. >> lawrence: what's going to be done about it. >> well, first of all, is there any criminal liability? which i think there should be. what we have asked in this letter right now, to taking the next step is that we want to staff brief at least on the policies at nih on retention of documents. on transparency. what is their policy toward foia? what is their policy towards personal email? and what are the repercussions and is there any criminal liability? >> ainsley: the question is what are they trying to cover up? why don't they want these foia requests revealed, this information revealed? the public has a right to know. we won't reveal their personal information but the origins of covid, yes, a

dud their investigation into china -- did their investigation into china where they sent peter daszake investigation, they were taking tours of museums and said, oh, nothing to see here, no gain of function here, no leaks if from the lab a here. i mean, it was just ridiculous when we already knew that, you know, a lot of scientists had been disappeared. this is an organization that ising being controlled by bad people like bill gates, like the chinese government request, and the thought that we would even think about doing this is insane. i think it's one of the most underreported stories, and i'm really glad to see that these governors have written this letter and are on it. but, boy, i'm surprised that only half that have. only half want america to be america and run by americans? unbelievable. joey: yeah. we have these two debates hard announced now, and we don't know if rfk jr. will be a part of them unless that's changed since i paid anticipation, but president trump and president biden sparring in a debate, and of all the a issues that could be brought up -- and i don't have any
