, it will turn out that that fear was certainly well-founded. >> the wuhan institute is one of china's the highest level of biosecurity, enabling them to deal with the world's deadliest pathogens. it's famous in the scientific community, and so is its star researcher dr. shi zhengli, dubbed the bat woman for her work collecting and studying viruses from bats. >> she said that none of the sequences of the viruses that she collected matches the covid pandemic virus. >> yes. >> doesn't that clear the lab? >> if you believe that one, she has all the information, and two, she is telling the truth. >> dr. shi admitted early in the pandemic that she was worried the virus could have leaked from her lab. >> she told an american science journal that she remembers thinking oh, my gosh, if this is a bat coronavirus, could my lab and the samples i've been working with be involved? when shi zhengli learned that none of the samples that had been collected of this new virus in the earliest cases of coronavirus didn't match any of the samples that she and her team had sequenced from bat caves in years

of the coronavirus given it was his organization that funneled money through a subgrant to the wuhan institute. in a live the denials that he likes but they will find within nih command gain of function manipulated the coronavirus in wuhan and it was funded by nih. >> tucker: to this day tony fauci has never been indicted. he is not sitting in solitary like january 11th. sharry come i appreciate your work on this. i look forward to your work, thank you. >> thank you so much, tucker. >> tucker: so as just noted, virtually everything told during the pandemic about where the virus came from and how we should respond to it turned out to be false. one of the biggest lies early on and andrew cuomo wasn't causing thousands of deaths in nursing homes. >> governor cooper ♪ ♪ out there day after day after day, honest, direct, brave. >> even republicans tell me they look at cuomo, god, there is a leader. >> for those wondering why new york governor andrew cuomo has been garnering the nickname america's governor come i think you saw it right there. he has incredible strength in the face of this pandemic.

the wuhan institute of virology maintained it. it was like an inventory of what they had in their labs. they took it down in september as you point out 2019. the explanation provided publicly by their lead coronavirus researcher shows sjeng lee they were hacked multiple times. but if you look at the time line of when and how she is saying that, she gives the impression that it was taken down after the pandemic when, in fact, it was taken down before. but there is no question about this. the world and the investigators need access to that database and it doesn't appear that china is willing to do that. >> katherine, this is a great, great investigation. old school "vanity fair." i congratulate you for writing it and investing time. thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. >>> what are your thoughts? tweet me or go to my facebook page and i'll read responses throughout the course of the program. here is the first one. doesn't matter! it doesn't matter! no. it does matter! if you want to prevent it from ever happening again. and,

we know that the wuhan institute was using immunized bats for experience to see which one could infecteeker: yeah, a bat hanging off of his hat, okay. the footage also shows that officials in the wuhan lab are very aware that something could go badly wrong. >> [speaking foreign language] >> tucker: sharry markson with sky news australia is the author of the upcoming book "what really happened in wuhan" and she joins us. thank you for coming on and thanks to this amazing tape where did this footage come from? >> this was an official chinese academy of science video for the launch of the may of 2017 and this underground team of detectives that call themselves drastic who had been investigating the origin of the virus that managed to unearth this video after all of this time. as you say, it shows that much more of what we have been told about the origin of the pandemic from the very beginning was chinese disinformation, which was then propagated by many people who had been working in conjunction with the wuhan institute of virology and compromised in extreme conflicts of interest. as you ju

that was at the wuhan institute. the doctor thanked dr. >> organization, which is part of nih. she lists the serial number for the money she got from that u.s. so he needs to be asked difficult questions. we need to have other scientists there. he hides behind the veil of i'm the only smart person in the room. no one else can understand this. but many other phd scientists in this field completely disagreed with him and don't think it is worth risking a pandemic. >> sean: senator. >> and i don't see any benefits of it either. >> sean: i think i recall a gunman by the name of roger stone was -- gentlemen i the name of roger stone was known as lying to congress. have improved client report at this location at this time and that is the way it usually was handle. but he had almost 30 guys in tactical gear, trotman and fake news cnn cameras, guns drawn. lying to congress. is that a crime? >> it absolutely is a crime. it is punishable up to five years in prison. dr. fauci is going to work around his words. he is being very coupled with his words.

>> do you support the money that was going to the wuhan institute?let me explain to you why that was done. t t the sars-cov-2 one originated in bats in china.ne it would have been irresponsible of us if we did not investigate the bat viruses and the serology to see who might have been -- >> or perhaps it would be possible to send it to the chinese government that we may not be able to trust with this knowledge and with this incredibly dangerous virus. >> sean: dr. fauci needs to answer questions and they need to be under oath. thesecr. evils need to be exami. -- emails need to be examined. what did he know? when did he know it? why was he telling us one thing privately and sing something -- he needs to be fired. don't expect joe biden to fire him for any reason because the administration oh, they are not circling the wagons. fauci is doing an amazing job. take a look. [indistinct question] >> president biden: yes, i'm very confident in dr. fauci. >> can you imagine any circumstance where president but in whatever fire him? >> no. >> sean: of course j

what they were simply advising is that the kind of research that was going on in the wuhan institutearily, untoward. but the real issue is the -- the kind of research going on in the wuhan institute of virology is called gain of function research. it's an effort to try to make pathogens more infectious, to see whether they will be infectious to humans. there is a lot of controversy, surrounding this research. so, you know, there is real concern that you've got an institute, seven miles away from the epicenter of the outbreak. that had these strains, which were taken from this mine. those strains were renamed. and they were in this risky game of fufrnction research. now, the other piece of this is that the u.s. government, in part, was funding some of that research. >> yeah. >> from a sort of middle organization called eco-health alliance. so, yeah, go ahead. >> yeah. no. i mean, it's a fascinating report. it's up in vanity fair. katherine, i really appreciate it. obviously, more to be learned, exactly, on the whole chronology of this. we'll be right back.

witnesses and questioners here largely believe the evidence shows the virus escaped from the wuhan institute of the virology with one citing a statement last year from a top scientist at that lab. >> today's tomorrow is an effort to answer the question poised on december 30th, 2019 by dr. xi, the hud of coronavirus research at the wuhan laboratory. she was told that a novel coronavirus caused and outbreak of pneumonia close to her laboratory in wuhan.

to fund research at a chinese lab, specifically the wuhan institute?ld the state department warn against pursuing the origins of covid? >> not that unusual to fund them generally, but what is unusual, the type we are talking about, gain of function studies to study how a virus might get more aggressive and spread to humans, particularly to study them at a chinese is addition and particularly one that has chinese government is more unusual but then going directly from the national or the like to the chinese lab, it went through a long profit monday an individual involved in some of the defense of the idea at the wuhan lab so there's a lot of interesting questions about that and people's motivation but that's one aspect of this whole thing, it went away nonprofit, the wuhan institute of virology. arthel: why would they warn against pursuing the origins of covid-19? >> obviously if that's what happened, that's a huge bubble. i think what "the issue is" is what happened during the trump administration, the debate was how much, what we say publicly about it

information about the wuhan institute of virology and the true origins of the coronavirus.s, what does it mean. gordon chang is a senior fellow and the author of the book and were happy to have him on tonight. is this story true you think? >> i ticket is in beijing says it isn't in beijing daily and hong kong's south morning post have issued stories that he is busy at work discharging his obligations. i don't believe that in the reason that china has every reason in the world to parade this guy in front of cameras would squelch all sorts of rumors that are damaging to the regime. china has not done that and that to me says that we have him and in fact he defected. >> tucker: one of the reasons that seems true to me is that the great american propaganda machine managing the lies that we receive in one week changed their official story on where the virus came from. oh, well, it came from a lab and that suggested to me that there are some person who had unimpeachable information on this who would contradict the official lie. >> yes, and clearly what we have right now is a chan

organization under the nih was funneling millions of dollars from eco-health alliance to the wuhan institute of virology for dangerous gain of function research to take naturally a current coronavirus' and do crazy experiments on them and make them more pathogenic, in other words, our taxpayer dollars were being used to metal with the primal forces of nature in cooperation with the genocidal communist government dedicated to our own destruction. and where is the outrage? this week in fact, fauci went on a "new york times" podcast and suggested that the intelligence community assessment saying that lab workers at the wuhan institute got sick prior to the broader outbreak was bogus. fauci is attacking the intelligence community. where's the outrage? he further suggested in the interview if you listen to it but he hasn't even bothered to read the intelligence. that is crazy. what dr. fauci is doing is not advancing science, he's advancing a dogmatic adherence to a religion that says you can't question the scientific experts. >> laura: the director of national intelligence said something about t

millions of your tax dollars ended up at the wuhan institute of virology between 2014 and 2019 when gain of function research on corona viruses were taking place. in other words, the lab that probably created and leaked this virus. 2012, fauci even said, oh, yeah, it's dangerous, but it is certainly worth the risk to do gain of function research. but the real question tonight is what did dr. fauci know? when did dr. fauci know it? and was he engaged in some type of scientific cover-up? if not, then why was america's top infectious disease expert so wrong for so many months? and of course, as we mentioned, just like andrew cuomo, dr. flip-flop while she is trying to profit from the pandemic in a book hilariously titled "expect the uninspected. thankfully, the book is only 80 pages long. so joe biden didn't care to comment. you still have all that great faith and confidence in dr. fauci. i will do it if dr. fauci says so, you kept telling us. i hate to tell you, joy, i know you are asleep right now. i know you have had your warm milk and your little sippy cup. presidential label and everyt

institution. the head of the nih categorically deny u.s. money was being used for data function research at wuhan. you don't believe them? >> john, they have had to walk back many things they have said. they're kaeurbl what they say. dr. fauci says the money in the grant was not for data research. i believe him in that fact. he then said, we don't know if they're truthful what the money is used for. john, let's connect the dots. february 2020, had you a group of 27 put forth a statement saying that the virus was of natural origin and anyone suggests a lab leak were conspiracy theories. then they said there was no conflict of interest. if you look at that the person leading the initiative of the letter was the president of eco health. the company that works to fund a lot of the research. the company that nih gave money too and to the institute of viraology. if that was natural spillover that val deads the work. of course we know why he wants it to be natural origin. you have to keep looking at other things. first of all the $600,000 that went to ecohealth from the nih that's a microcosm of federal

you fast forward in 2014 between that date and 2019, he is giving $600,000 to the wuhan institute everology. the facts are there that he supported this in 2017 another good example when president obama said let's put a halt to gain of function research, dr. fauci quietly restarted it in 2017 and never informed the trump right white house. there are real questions that should be asked here. dr. fauci should be testifying in front of congress. elizabeth: he had that "washington post" article should create dangerous labs in laboratories, dangerous virus in laboratories in order to get vaccines. that is dangerous stuff. senator john contend city had aa lot to say about this. watch this. >> dr. fauci needs to cut the crap. this is not about dr. fauci, not about his feelings. maybe he ought to buy an emotional support pony. we're not debating dance moves on tiktok here. we're talking about millions of human lives. dr. fauci gave a lot of u.s. taxpayer money to scientists to research bat coronavirher dr. fs people can guarranty us that the chinese scientists didn't use that money to gain of f

i'll adjust anderson was the last -- a virologist was the last and only foreign scientist at the wuhan institutesource of the worst pandemic and a century. she says there's no indication it was responsible for an outbreak in any way. >> there was no chatter of anything. scientists are gossipy. nothing strange from my point of view going on at that point that would make me think, something is going on here. juliette: let's get more from our health care reporter who wrote the bloomberg scoop story, and interview with danielle. tell us more of what she said. essentially she was saying there was not anything untoward that she saw. >> well, the wuhan institute of urology 0 has become -- virology has become a flashpoint, contested. danielle is saying what she has said in the media and claims about what has happened do not measure up with what she expensed on the ground. he says they had very strict and vigorous rules around making sure they were very careful with the virus they are using. that they have all kinds of disinfectants and protocols. there's a very choreographed method you have to go throug

fauci's emails highlight the possibility that the virus leaks from the wuhan institute of virology whichart by u.s. taxpayers. today, president biden reinforced his support for his top medical advisor. >> mr. president, do you feel confident with dr. fauci? >> president biden: yes, i'm very confident. >> fox news has also confirmed that state department officials were seeking transparency from the chinese government say they were explicitly told by colleagues not to explore the wuhan institute of virology and gain of function research because it would gain unwelcome attention to the u.s. government and dr. fauci's involvement in the funding of it. tonight on hannity, senator rand paul, if your distaste critics of dr. fauci says that all that research puts it all at risk. because there's no other prominent scientists in favor than dr. fauci. he still hasn't backed off of that position. he believes it's okay to take animal viruses, make them into super viruses to infect humans, even if a pandemic should occur, he says, the research is worth it. if there's a host of other scientists in this

president biden should say we're going to hold the chinese communist party, the wuhan institute of virology and dr. fauci responsible while we figure out what happened because we do not ever, ever want to go back through this again. >> harris: all right. we'll move to this. iowa is joining several other states in banning teaching the controversial far-left critical race theory that asserts that america is inherently racist as a country. florida's education board could pass a similar ban today. this is happening very quickly. a virginia mom who survived china before coming to america is comparing race theory to the revolution she escaped. here is some of her powerful speech at the loudon county school board. >> i've been very alarmed what is going on in our school. are you now teaching and training our children to the social justice warriors and loath our country and history. this is indeed american version of the chinese cultural revolution. critical race theory has its roots in marxism and should have no place in our schools. >> harris: where is all of this crt coming from when you hear it

fauci, how much money did you give or know was given to the wuhan institute and know they were doing gain of function? many in the media still fawning over dr. fauci. the correspondence make it clear that dr. fauci's private beliefs have been radically at odds with his public guidance to u.s. leaders and the american people. worse, the emails reveal a bureaucrat more interested in protecting china's public image than finding the truth about the coronavirus. former white house chief of staff mark meadows ripped the doctor's efforts to spin what he said is in those emails. >> the interesting thing here tonight, though, is you hear dr. fauci trying to change the narrative. listen, this is not just about what happened in a wuhan lab, this is what actually happened with dr. fauci in the early days of the coronavirus outbreak. dr. fauci has been flip-flopping. there is more flip-flops on dr. fauci than you will find on a north carolina beach in july. >> harris: joe concha media and politics columnist for the hill. joe, great to have you on the program. we got into it with marc thiessen who

has been denied access to, gordon, a newly obtained video that shows the wuhan institute of virologyping at that lab, something w.h.o. investigators tonight. the chair of the nonprofit that funded research at that lab tweeted about a 2020 article claims that bats lived in the labs. this is widely circulated conspiracy theory. they don't have dead bats and there is no where this happened today is in there i hope will be corrected. fox news is not certain exactly what conspiracy he is referring to in that tweet. he is the same person dr. fauci by email that was exposed a couple of weeks ago for tamping down on the lab like theory and serves as an investigator for the w.h.o. fox news has the veracity and we are showing it to you. and already publicly out there on social media. people are talking about it. what do you say? whether or not this video is verified, it looks more and more likely that the lab leak theory is gaining. is it not? >> and peter last year publicly told "the new york times," look, he feared that promoting the natural mutation theory because he wanted to protect his c

there is a an enormous amount of evidence that there was a leak from the wuhan institute of virology.re's a pile of evidence 100 feet high. we pressed the chinese communist party really hard, the cdc and others too. we withdrew from the w.h.o. which became politicized. this administration chose to get back in that. i don't know what tools they are going to use. we were serious in this endeavor, we made clear there would be real costs to the chinese communist apartment we built out operation warp speed. i was thrilled to hear they're going to deliver these vaccines around the world for the countries that need it. it couldn't have happened without operation warp speed. we put real pressure on the chinese communist party and we got very close to be able to make a lay-down case for what happened and how this virus came to kill millions of people around the world and destroy billions of dollars in wealth. we know the coverup continues. it's time for accountability. chris: so just to button this up, i want to ask you about one more question, do you believe that the virus came from the lab l

government budget ended up at china's wuhan institute of virology which was engaged in the study and on of deadly coronavirus, is there a connection between that research and the deadly pandemic which also began in the city of wuhan, we know from dr. fauci's e-mails obtained by media outlets using the freedom of information act despite his public comments in 2020 downplaying the possibility that covid-19 escape from a chinese lab he was told of disturbing evidence suggesting the virus might've been man-made, the obvious question what exactly did the government disease doctor no and when did he know it and also did dr. fauci disclose to president donald trump everything that he knew about the possibility that a chinese lab partly funded by zone institute ip the source of the pit devon this is important because dr. fauci was given massive responsibility in leading american national response to covid, if he did not fully disclose all the information but the potential origin of the virus in his own potential role then president donald trump was denied relevant information that he needed t

. >> i asked them the question in terms the whole team both sides wuhan institute, wuhan institute of virology about the so-called missing database and what we were told by xi gin ling there had been hacking attempts and they took down xl spreadsheet database. and absolutely reasonable we did not ask to see the data. >> brian: right, everybody always hacks china. he didn't ask for the data. why would he? after all when china says there is nothing to see here, can you rest easy knowing they are telling the truth. not yet but maybe eventually they will. remember, this is the same guy who funneled taxpayer money to the wuhan lab through his nonprofit. also the guy who claimed there was no bats in the lab. we looked and what we found. look at this brand new video obtained by sky news australia of bats, live ones, yes, in cages, and we have got bats on a guy's hat. there you go. thanks, australia. this guy has either been wrong or lying at every turn. is he far from the only compromised person on the team. w.h.o. itself has been in bed with china for years and does not have the ability or
