what leaked from the wuhan lab? why was it there? after we answer that question which we were the first to do in january 2021. we come to the conclusion based on the available evidence that this was not the china virus. it was the fauci virus designed and filled with your money. it's about doing all we can to make sure it doesn't happen again. we have to say it's the u.s. government, now the just the chinese regime. rogue elements who broke the rules put in place by the obama and truck administration and commissioned the reckless gain of function research which is still the only explanation for the origin of the covid virus. these men must be held accountable. and former director of the nih francis collins. in 2011 they wrote, quote, generating a potentially dangerous virus in the laboratory is a risk worth taking. they took that risk and it looks like the worst pandemic in a century is the result. we'll lay out the evidence pointing to the fauci experiments. a document from within the nih itself is all but an admission of guilt. the

the wuhan institute for virology which studies viruses. not just viruses, coronaviruses.onavirus is from bats. the bats in question that carried these coronaviruses do not occur naturally in wuhan, china. the first you can find these bats to you honda are in caves -- bats to wuhan are in caves. a couple hundred miles from the whitmarsh, you could drive a golf ball. well, i could. that is fact number one. fact number two, in november of 2019, not one, not two, three scientists at wuhan institute for virology checked themselves into a hospital with illnesses that may have been the beginning of the pandemic. fact number three, when the pandemic erupted, we discovered that china had been stockpiling protective medical equipment several months before the pandemic and china ordered the wuhan institute for virology to destroy the samples. in a court of law, you have two lawyers. in a quarter -- in a court of law, in a civil case or criminal case, if someone destroys evidence, a judge will instruct the jury, you are entitled to draw on inference from the destruction of evidence t

china is obviously very secretive about what happens at the wuhan laboratory. >> all right. we do it defensively to protect our own soldiers, they won't say. so, that idea, right, that this is a bio weapon, as reverberated around right-wing circles over since. just yesterday, marjorie taylor greene called the virus, quote, a man-made bioweapon from china in a tweet. not catched in the way, just saying. now, now u.s. intelligence agency gives credence to that idea. the bioweapon idea. but, as i said before, the fbi behind department of energy have some confidence the virus did come from a lap. and if that's just a possibility, as david wallace flows rights, columnist from the new york times, we should be talking about safeguards against that. and david wallace wells joins me now. good to have you here. i really like to peace. first off, let's start just distinguishing between these three theories, right? there's the animal to human transmission, right, mutation probably at the wet market in wuhan. there's a biological institute, virology lab, or another lab, possibly, chinese

first the epidemic broke out not in some random chinese city but right in wuhan home of the wuhan institute of virology. we know scientists there were genetically engineering viruses under an adequate safety conditions and we know from labs all the time. clearly a lab leak has to be a strong possibility. second, that possibility became much more concrete under the recent surfacing of a proposal by the rod researchers and others. they applied in 2018 for 14 million-dollar grant for the program project diffuse. the essential to an agreement of sars to it makes the virus so infected is a small genetic elements. wuhan researchers said in their proposal they would insert this very element into a group of corona viruses and not only with a place -- mike bentley that they place the very specific points on the genome junction. now the dod turn the proposal doubt it was too risky even for them but the researchers must have done the basic work or could have found other ways to finance it. a year later, the stars to virus appears on the scene and guess what, it possesses the only known member of its l

it happened in wuhan, that is home of the wuhan institute of virology, it is located in wuhan that createdsars escaped at least three times from be las studying in china before, so there is a precedent here. several workers from the wuhan lab got sick in 2019 at the onset of the pandemic and had to to go to the hospital. late night including stephen colbert said it couldn't have come from a lab, it came from a bat in a wet market and that is not true based on basic logic. >> todd: dr. fauci will never admit he is wrong and that is sad for our country. supreme court hearing arguments on joe biden's $400 student loan bail out, here is how the head of the second largest teachers union feels about it. >> this is what pisses me off, during the pandemic we understood small businesses were hurting and we helped them and it didn't go to the supreme court to challenge it. big business was hurting and we helped them and it didn't go to the supreme court to challenge it. when it is about our students, they challenge it? >> todd: that is i rich, joe, randi weingarten fighting for students, she took tw

this place, wuhan's seafood and wildlife market, was at the center of the coronavirus outbreak.ook at this map, you can see how close the market is near the wuhan institute of their elegy, a lab which conducts research into viruses like coronavirus. the theory is it could hav leaked from the lab and spread to the wet market. 2021, experts from theho went to wuhan to carry out a joint investigation with china. they said the lab leak theory was extremely unlikely. that investigation has been criticized. our correspondent in beijing explains. reporter: we followed them around. they sort of came up with no solid conclusions really as to the origins of covid and the who was supposed to have a further inquiry, supposed t be a new team coming to china. i don't know whatever happened to that team being put together. there was a report in the scientific journal nature saying the who have effectively shelved this. since then we had the who saying no no, we haven't given up on the origins of covid. but where is the new team of scientists looking into this? >> questions over that investigat

if the virus was leaked out of the wuhan lab in 2020. it's fair to ask, did china pull off the crime of the century? let's back up a minute and see what the u.s. economy looked like before the coronavirus outbreak. it's amazing with the u.s. economy can do with a little bit of energy independence. the inflation rate was 2%. it's better than the 6% the biden administration has been bragging about. the economy was in lock down and it took years to reopen. businesses were closed. kids were forced out of school. joe biden replaced trump in the white house. now we have record high gas prices, the economy is in the dumps. i'm" to ask the question here. did china pull off the crime of the century? if china wanted to get rid of trump, the lab leak of a deadly airborne virus kind of a perfect idea. for years americans have watched the death count rise. >> the number of deaths here in the united states has just crossed 100,000. >> as we cross the quarter million mark of those we lost to covid in this country. >> more than half a million americans

in wuhan. so i ask you why?inistration so soft on china and what can you as an elected official do about it? >> well part of pattern of joe biden's career he always excused chinese communist aggression, wrongdoing as regents as 2020 pain, saying china is not a competitor of the united states, he even questions out of his way still to say he doesn't want a war i don't either either most arkansans don't if china waijsdz a war against us our choice to winner lose unfortunately this administration has a losing policy right now what we should be doing is taking actions that are long overdue to make it clear to china, that there are consequences for unleashing the pandemic on the word consequences for invadinging our airspace things like banning tiktok banning chinese nationals from applying farmland in america reciprocal treatment for democrats spiedz in america they impose on americans in china, most arkansans think a very simply proposition whatever china does to us we should do to them searcher reciprocity. >> exa

look, it came out of wuhan, and there happens to be an internationally-known virology lab there in wuhanh, yeah, that's the most likely source, but for all these years, no, that's crazy. it's not crazy. i actually think that's where it came from. moe americans, probably -- most americans, probably, think that's where it came from, and more and more of our agencies are saying that's where it ch do withdraw hoon for gain of function -- wuhan for gain of function research, and there was that fiery exchange between rand paul and dr. fauci because he kept skirting around the definition of gain of function research. but the nih did give money to an organization that collaborated with that wuhan lab, $600,000, and it was a program that trump pulled in 2020. you know, when he sits up there in front of congress and tries to tweak the definitions and skirt around the issue, he was essentially the mouthpiece on the virus for the last two and a half years, right? americans trusted him. and now we're finding out that a lot of what he was telling us was not true. >> that's correct. and we should have

agency says the pandemic may have resulted from a lab leak in wuhan. washington correspondent alexandra limon joining us live with that story. what are you learning? alexandra? >> good morning. well, you may remember it was originally department of energy that said that it believes with low confidence that the pandemic originated from a lab leak in wuhan. but now the fbi director says he believes that too. >> the intelligence community is looking into this is something that the president has asked. the white house says intelligence agencies are strengthening their efforts to investigate the origin of the covid-19 pandemic at the direction of the president. believes in support to get to the bottom of this, especially as we look ahead to the future and trying to prevent any future pandemics. former secretary of state mike pompeo says he's glad the energy department and fbi reached the same conclusion he did. it is now good to see that the department of energy has come to the same conclusion that i did. my state department did years ago that this leak cam

but peter daczk was close with the wuhan institute. he's not been forthcoming ifs is relationship.ved in a number of deceptions. when you put that together, it shows that fauci had a lot to hide. maria: really interesting. we're learning so much about the communist party of china and its goals and you've written about this many years ago and we've been on this for many years on this program. finally, it looks like some in corporate america are beginning to get it, are beginning to understand the national security risks and it's not just about the greenbacks making money in china. we had billionaire investor mark mobius on last week. he's raising a red flag about doing business in china. what are your thoughts on corporate america. are they pulling back? >> i have an account with hsbc in shanghai. i can't get my money out. the government is restricting flow of money out of the country. so i would be very, very careful investing in china. what we're doing is going into hong kong, which seems to be a little more open and able to get money in and out. putting money into china, i think

obviously if it start evidence in wuhan, china, it started at the lab but dr. fauci had a conference call and from that point on they never emailed again and basically went along with everything dr. fauci said saying it was a conspiracy theory. remember, those same scientists were getting grant dollars from government agencies that dr. fauci and dr. collins had a lot to do with. this isn't over just because the government has admitted that covid originated in wuhan lab. we need to hold people accountable for potential cover-ups and accountable for doing mad science projects. we need to make sure there are no other projects like this happening around the world and stop it from happening in the future. >> harris: we have to lead on that. because i would imagine some of it happens in this country, too, right? we have a bio tech lab in nebraska. i'm not saying the world can't look at stuff but this is more than looking at things. gain of function is the next level. >> absolutely. this is what i've called from day one mad science. the sad part about it is we were fu

we know the initial outbreak zone was wuhan. know that's the home to virology labs that study coronaviruses, and there were many reactions to that. then there was the politics, which i'm not going to focus on, but in the trump era, the bleach, the china hawks. you remember. i'm not going to give it time. the current agencies are overseen by the current president, joe biden. in an allegedly classified report from d.o.e., now concludes with low confidence the virus did come from a lab in china. >> the energy department reigniting the debate over the origin of covid. was it leaked from a lab in china? >> this new report suggests it did come from a lab in wuhan, china, that so-called lab leak theory. >> the fallout after that bombshell report. >> the u.s. energy department differing from other agencies. >> did the coronavirus pandemic start in a lab, is that what you believe now? >> well, dana, there is a variety of views in the intelligence community. >> the president wants to get to the bottom of this. >> does it get any clearer t

, wuhan in the last three months of 2019, we might been able to pin down what happened.find out. and how would that help us to know where it came from? because obviously all happened and by the time it had leaked from laboratory, if that's from the laboratory, if that's where from, spread where it came from, it spread quite quickly . would we have quite quickly. would we have been able to reduce the pandemic or simply or is it something we can simply use to learn for future? well, just to give you an example, up until the 18th of january 20, 20, chinese authorities 20, the chinese authorities insisting you could only catch this virus from an animal and that was because their assumption it was in the assumption was it was in the market. now by then, health care workers were catching it from patients and from each other and so on. so that was clearly untrue. but they stuck to that line. and the world health stuck to that line to right up until maybe the 14th of january. it's the middle of january. and so , the middle of january. and so, yes, if we had suspected human trans

you had to stavey inr, wuhan i. however, if you wanted to go abroad, you can go anywhere you wanted. i guess they knew that the people were pretty sick.n'tt now, joe biden doesn't seem to care. he's not holding them accountable. and meanwhile, former president trump is focused likfe from c a laser on the growing threats from china. he put this out recently. joe biden claims to supportims american manufacturing, but inhe reality, he's pushing the same pro-china globalin agenda that ripped the industrial heart out of our country. rippedit ripped us apart.s apar bidet.n and the globalists support raising taxes on american production. they support more cripplinge cr regulations, killing american jobs. they supportregulas, killing skg domestic energy costs, and they support massive anti americanpo multinational agreements thart t send our wealth and factories overseas. very simply, the biden agenda taxes america to build up chinan .a is the b china is the bigig beneficiary. we b cannoent let that happen. >> here now with

this place wuhan's huanan seafood and wildlife market was at the centre of the coronavirus outbreak.ead to the wet market. in 2021, experts from the world health organization went to wuhan to carry out a joint investigation with china. they said the lab leak theory was "extremely unlikely". but that investigation has been criticised. our correspondent in beijing, steven mcdonell explains. we followed them around and came up with, no solid conclusions really about the origins of covid—i9 and the who was supposed to have a further inquiry in supposed to be a new team coming to china and i don't know whatever i'm to the team being put together and there was a report in the scientific journal put together and there was a report in the scientificjournal saying that the who had effectively shelved this and since then, without the who saying no, we have not given up on the origins of covid—i9 but where is the origins of covid—i9 but where is the team, the new team of scientists looking into this? so questions over that investigation but still no scientific evidence pointing to a lab leak. w

i think they will have an additional understanding of what was happening in wuhan.will make a difference in this discussion. i think if you look at the declassified report issued by the office of direcr of national intelligence at the iniation by president biden, then you look at the classified report, they don't match. i think you get a bias from one, this is a natural occurrence. from the other, you would get pretty serious confirmation you believe a lab leak was likely. reporter: house intelligence has historically been a bipartisan committee. congress is divided now. what do you think you can get done? >> it has not been historically birtisan. i've been restoring bipartisan nature to it. nancy pelosi hijacked the intelligence committee and took the impeachment through. which we did not have jurisdiction for. that broke the committee. we've chosen to do it on a bipartisan basis. kevin mccarthy came down to the intelligence committee with hakeem jeffries, who he invited to come with, to give a charge to our committee that we would act in a bipartisan basis. jim hi
