have been concerted government activities that would suggest something did happen, likely at the wuhan institutef virology and put also at the wuhan university, the institute of animal models. we found some reports that would indicate that at the same time, there were publications, probably deceptive in nature, that were trying to cover the tracks of the involvement of the wuhan institute. and the wuhan university. the second thing is, we had a high level chinese official come from china's academy of sciences on november 19 where he did a couple of interesting things. his day of arrival was notable because he was the subject of an internal posting on the virology website that indicated that he ran what was likely a p sure, a chinese mechanism of reporting that often goes through the political channels to the highest level that is needed to resolve an issue or problem. that individual sends back down instructions. it appears that this chap from beijing was carrying orders from xi jinping himself that indicated there were concerns around by security around the wuhan and the two of virology and in

wuhan institute got 1.4 million. ved money that ends at wuhan lab for gain of function research in wuhan. duke university, half million dollars alone between these five years and guess where it goes? the military medical scientists, this is army of people's liberation army. biological war fare, wuhan institute could try to get the next cure for disease or make a biological bomb. why finance this type of research? why a cozy relationship between fauci and the wuhan institute? move ahead and look at what we're looking at now, this is wuhan institute, 240,000 from us over course of 2014 to 2016. $200,000 to wuhan institute and uc davis. look where we are now between our countries. despite poisoning the world with pandemic, nothing but belligerent to us with their program trying to cut us off at the knee with influence around the globe. remember the spy balloon? shot down after traversing every military facility and going across our entire country, even through alaska and they are mad at us for taking it out. how were we

have declassified their report on the potential links between the origin of covid—i9 and the wuhan institutes us intelligence found no direct evidence that the covid—i9 pandemic stemmed from an incident at the wuhan institute. for more let's cross now to our correspondent peter bowes. peter what more does this report tell us? this report is quite narrow in its scope. it is only four pages long but the key headline which frankly doesn't really take us much further forward, it doesn't give us much new information but it is that conclusion that there is no direct evidence that a research related incident at the wuhan institute led to the covid pandemic which some people suspected it came directly from that particular research lab and it is a place that we know had been doing research into the coronavirus before the pandemic. we know that some genetic engineering work had been going on there and some workers at laboratory fell sick. nevertheless, no direct evidence that anything that was happening, any research programme, led to the global pandemic. i say that this is quite narrow in its scope b

a scientist named zhengli shi, a woman in wuhan at the wuhan institute of virology, 96.2% identical to this virus as it in wuhan. and in january of 2020, 96.2% similar. so people said, i even overstated this when i was in australia flapping my jaw that oh, this is very, very similar. this proves that it came from a bat. well, not quite 96% similarity for coronaviruses implies 40 or 50 years of diverged. it's divergent evolution. so that's a pretty significant. so two different viruses that started off from the same ancestor may have continued their lineage in two different bat populations once isolated from each other for 40 or 50 years. and the result just by random mutation, if not adaptation to different circumstance, would be that they might be 4% different. so so we knew that there was this one virus, but this not this the virus. i'll give it a name. rat g 13. that was the close match. rat g 13 actually there's supposed to i'm supposed to call it ratg13, but i like calling it rat g 13, so rat g was the closest but not that close still suggested that this virus came from bats in pa

, and after the pandemic the military actually took over wuhan institute it's very deficient report. rachel: idants think i need a fancy report to figure out that they disappeared a bunch of whistle blowers and chinese scientists early on and they disappeared with a red flag right there and had e-mails from anthony fauci and his buddies covering up and we expose that as well. and now we're going to talk to you about the payments that were made to the biden family and it seems to me like they killed 7 million people with covid and if it came out that china was indeed not just responsible for it, whether nefariously or by lab leak and this report gets them off the hook and at the same time the biden family is getting tens of millions of dollars from the chinese. sounds like a pretty cheap way to keep the cover on this for china. >> i think you're connecting the dots pretty well there, rachel. more was going on in this country since covid began and especially as we're trying to find the origins, you know, we've done transcribed interviews on the authors of pr

really growing evidence now that supports that this epidemic started in the laboratory, presumably wuhan institutef virology, also the cdc virology institute in wuhan. those are the two major laboratories that have been implicated as potentially being the source of this virus. >> john: earlier this year when the department of energy came out and said it looks like it was a lab leak that was responsible when the fbi said the same thing, dr. anthony fauci, had departed the nih by that point was asked about it and seemed rather dismissive of the whole idea getting to the bottom of this. listen to what he said. >> do you think we'll ever know how the pandemic originated? >> might not. it very well might not. we may not ever know. that's unfortunate but the possibility we might not ever know. >> john: i'm not asking you to dump on a former colleague but he was rather dismissive about the whole thing and you would think if anybody really wanted to get to the bottom of how this started it would be him, unless he doesn't want to know. >> john, tony and i have been friends for a long time but i'm very disa

. >> not only did we confirm that the virus came from the wuhan institute of virology in china, we alsoere able to name the first three people sickened by the virus. >> a new report on the online platform substack says scientists at the lab in wuhan were the first covid-19 patients in the fall of 2019 while conducting controversial gorsucf function research. ben huh, u. pink and onzoo. jamie metzl called the revelation explosive in an interview with fox news laura ingraham to air this evening. >> and it looks more and more like there was an accident, followed by a criminal cover-up. >> fbi director christopher wray told bret baier the bureau's theory about covid's origin back on february 28th. >> the fbi has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in wuhan. >> yet, the white house chief medical adviser during the pandemic has offered other explanations. >> totally consistent with a jump of a species from animal to human. >> we have an open mind but it looks very, very much like this was a natural occurrence. >> dr. rober

beyond the fact this thing came from the wuhan institute of virology or at least was manmade.ch should launch us into the real conversation about what we do about that both in terms of investing in gain of function research but also accountability for china. rachel: of course accountability for china. 7 million people died worldwide. they lied about, you know, the leak, they disappeared scientists who were trying to alert the world. and then we had our own head of our public health, fauci, basically sending e-mails to other people trying to get them to -- you know, people who were saying, other scientists who were saying, obviously, this is from a leak and this is manmade. ask then e-mails are exchanged and it's liker oh, no, no, no, no, let's get on the same page, it's from nature. pete: we learned even more this week. we talked about the cover-up in china, but three of the scientists that first got infected were doing research funded by our country. rachel: that's right. pete: here we go again. will: fall of 2019. rachel: and the reason it matters is we've already given more

. >> not only did we confirm that the virus came from the wuhan institute of virology in china, we also sickened by the virus. these were the three scientists that were working with the closest relative of the coronavirus that was ultimately modified through what is called gain of function research, which makes it more infectious. >> martha: shellenberger is critical for not coming clean about the origin of the pandemic. this information was leaked to journalists by u.s. officials and not an official report. the world health organization says nearly seven million people were killed by covid-19. many argue the american people now deserve the truth. yet the white house's chief medical adviser during the pandemic has resisted the lab leak theory. >> totally consistent with the jump of a species from an animal to a human. >> we look at australian investigators, people from the u.k., people from canada. they say we have an open mind, but it looks very, very much like this was a natural occurrence. >> a new unclassified report from the intelligence community is expected as soon as next week a

the wuhan institute has done extensive work on the corona virus, but the agency did not find anything clear about a specific incident that could cause us to get sick . we were together today, god, good night the electronic goods plan includes the first three deciles of the society, i.e. a population equivalent to 25 million people, which previously only included the beneficiaries of the imam khomeini relief and welfare committee. in this way , the subsidy credit for all households in these three deciles will increase by 20%. the company will benefit from the additional credit of at least 80% of the subsidy of 400 thousand tomans, equivalent to 320 thousand tomans per person , was received through the first phase of the electronic invoice of the patients of the hazrat relief committee. i really hope that we will have an increase in terms of quantity and quality. indebtedness put it higher, now it is available and potentially 480 thousand tomans, a condition has been raised that i wanted to use this basket , they said to use this basket, spend 120 thousand tomans, how can you get this 2

sent at least $2 million between 2014 and 2021 including the wuhan institute which oversaw the gain ofion experiments where it likely leaked and infected the world. joining me right now is the ranking member of the senate homeland security committee, a man who has been probing all of this the from the early days of covid, the breakout. kentucky senator rand paul with me right now. senator, great to see you with. happy father's day. >> thank you. good morning. maria: let's talk about all we learned this week in the face of this antony blinken trip. first off, what are you expecting from the trip by our secretary of state to beijing? >> you know, i think despite our differences and despite the ratcheting up of rhetoric, i think diplomacy's important, and so all throughout the cold war we tried to have diplomacy with russia. we should continue to have diplomacy with china. i think we should have ongoing arms control talks even despite autoof the complaints, look, i've had a will the of complaints about the leak from the lab, but there's a lot of discussions and ongoing diplomacy that need

guest: she is the leader of the coronavirus laboratory at the wuhan institute of virology.quoted me saying, she has 15 or 20 years experience working on coronaviruses of that that have the potential to become human pathogen stretches studied them and her laboratory, done fieldwork and so has her team collecting viruses. she has written papers warning the world about the danger that back born coronaviruses could spell into humans and perhaps start an epidemic or pandemic. she is issuing -- has been issuing that warning for 15 years. now it is sort of a case of attack the messenger, kill the messenger. because she has worked on these viruses, and she is a character and some of the narratives about the loudly possibility. people say she must've been working on a virus and her lab and it the. she must have been working on the progenitor virus to this one, the immediate ancestor of the sars-cov-2 virus. she has told the journal science and mean that she was never working on a progenitor virus and her lab. can she prevent? it is always hard to prove a negative. -- prove that? it

now learning a chinese scientist researching coronavirus at the wuhan institute was one of three researchersth an unspecified illness with symptoms similar to covid-19 this was late in 2019. confirming scientist's projects were funded by a u.s. grant. here with more is chinese virologist dr. lee manian. good morning dr.ian. >> good morning. thank you for having me? what do you know about the u.s. funding research in wuhan in that lab. >> yeah we always know that u.s. and nih had funded wuhan for research. i don't think this will be the only there are many more similar fundings go to wuhan or go to other chinese military. some working in the united states for chinese military. >> ainsley: does this mean dr. fauci used u.s. funds, u.s. tax dollars, sent it to china to be used to research these coronavirus and then one of them caused all of these deaths throughout the world? >> yes bioweapons. the thing is there are classified studies dr. fauci and data these people threaten to defund pretend they don't know this research can be dangerous and also cover up with china. so these are called elite

information the american national came, although extensive work has been done on corona viruses in the wuhan institute, but no evidence has been found about a specific incident that can cause the spread of this disease . in this regard, the special assistant of the minister of roads and urban development said that the new city of tis in the south of sistan and baluchistan has been designed for residential and tourist use. the share of this city is 2000 units of the 44,000 housing units of the national movement of sistan and baluchistan, which is the leader in construction. national housing movement plan and in balochistan, the notification plan of the muslim government is 44 thousand residential units, of which 42 thousand units are in the rest of the cities, two thousand units are in the new city of tis. the coast of the country is the priority of the government. the group of the mother company specializing in the construction of new cities in the development of the country. 21 new cities are of different demographic stages from the leading cities and the town of barzan. now , the construction of the

leak and some of which recently the three scientists who were working on the coronavirus at the wuhan institutella g were the first individuals to become sick with coronavirus like symptoms, is that intelligence that i think the biden administration does not want you to see. it will complicate their efforts to deal with china. maria: why walk around on eggshells with the communist party we were talking about jim jordan the chairman of the judiciary committee about all of this bad behavior from hunter biden and potentially breaking the law and accepting all the money. is that the reason he's so soft walking on eggshells on the ccp. >> the more evidence that we see about that in that case certainly supports that. it's gotta be cowardice or incompetence or complicity in the fact that they don't want to deal with china because china has been paying so many folks related to the biden administration including hunter biden in the whistleblower testimony, the evidence, hunter biden has now been recorded, sitting with my father to the chinese communist party official saying you owe me in my father, you

i'm also not surprised to learn that there was a lot olef work happening at the wuhan institute of virology by civilian authorities, and maybe that was those were the scientists that that dr. fauci had interacted with. >> but it also lookse th increasingly like there were military authorities engageder i and military scientists engaged in secretivetied in activities. and it looks more and more like there was an accident followed by a criminal cove a crimir up. and that's why these ths is justg thatthi something that just came randomly out of nature are increasingly absurd. and we need to keep digging to get to the right answergan t all of the evidence is leaning towards a research related origin for the pandemi researcca >> here's what the timest uncovered about these experiments performed about d. mice with human lung scientistsh selected three lab grown mutant viruses created by mixing stars like viruses with w1v1, which at all been shown to infecthich human cells. now, these mutants were then injected into the noses of albino mice injee, human lungs. the mutant virus killed 75% of the ro

billion for studies as you pointed out, cats on a treadmill that the ultimate sin is funding the wuhan institutef virology. this is -- first of all, they used ecohealth, which is out of compliance with other grants. this is where the covid-19, sars cov2 cyru2 virus was made d we're throwing money at people that killed millions of americans and doing more research on bad vie suspended aviruses thisless than safe pla. you can't make this up. maria: it's unbelievable and worse than the leak out of wuhan, they cover it had up, senator; right? we can't even get an investigation into the wuhan lab to find out exactly how it leaked. the chinese communist party won't allow it. >> exactly. that's why we need a 9/11 style commission. get it outside of washington. we've introduced legislation last congress, this congress with bipartisan support that would do an in-depth dive into this. the preponderance of evidence shows this virus was made in a lab in wuhan, china, and as well as accidently leaked. i think that if we could get in front of a jury, we could prove that on a civil case as well. but we need to

national intelligence released this declassified summary in the findings in links between the wuhan institutegy and the covid pandemic. it said several researchers at that institute were nil 2019 with symptoms consistent with, but not diagnostic of covid. why is it so inconclusive still? >> well, this is the problem really what the director of national intelligence has done. we passed a law saying declassify the information you have about the covid and wuhan lab's activities. what they did is basically went and did a paper on what they believe about the intelligence they've looked at. to give you an example we've asked to open the curtain and release the intelligence and they went behind the curtain read the stuff and said this is what we think about it. this is not sufficient and this is going to set up a battle between the congress and director of national intelligence to make certain that law passed unanimously both the senate and house and signed by the president, complied with, but also the american public get the answers they deserve. >> so there was a classified an next to this, though

and there is direction, had publicly funded research on bad coronaviruses in the wuhan institute of virology, and that in early 2020, when the virus was new, he became aware from briefings of his staff and emails from chairman fara of the welcome institute at the united kingdom, that there was a great risk that the virus had in fact leaked from that institution, where funded research on viruses had been conducted. you see an elaborate, deceptive plot to try to discredit that theory at that time. >> and that was his agency. when asked at a as briefing about the report that he commissioned, he claimed that he wasn't familiar with the authors of the study, even though he was instrumental in every step of its creation. i have a video, if we can play that quickly. look in his own words, go ahead. >> they're trying to fix that. with doctor fauci said in his own words is that he has no idea about the authors of the study, even though he orchestrated the whole thing. when asked and a deposition about his role in suppressing the lab leak origin theory, among many things, he said, 300 something times

know what you are alluding to, talking about eco-health alliance, research being done at the wuhan institute and the lab. if you choose to read my book "breathless," i go into that in great depth and go into the more recent evidence in the new piece i have written over the last two months that will describe the evidence. one of the most important things to say is although a lab leak cannot be dismissed out of hand and needs to be considered, to say that a lab leak occurred from the lab at the wuhan institute of virology is to go well beyond the evidence. it is an accusation, very serious accusation, and it is not supported by evidence i am aware of. for instance, was she ever working on a virus that is nearly identical with the covid-19 virus? she has said no to me and a couple other journalists -- she has not talked to many journalists. but more important, there is evidence she never had this virus in her lab. i describe the evidence in this new piece, a little too complicated to go into. but she has been in the business of finding dangerous new coronaviruses in bats and warning the world a

interesting to see how this money flowed to china and to the wuhan institute of virology.gao, government accountability office. 2 million ended up in china, went through national institute of health and u.s. agent for international development. what happened with latter, they were sending money to china through grants given to u.s. education institutions, uc davis is one, to be clear. mike turner and brad winstrop are saying, enough issue get to the heart of this. they are saying in the statement, the revelation is concerning due to the lab leak theory which suggest the virus may have originated. the american people deserve the truth about covid-19 origin and continue to take concrete action to declassify intelligence related. this was not one big check. 1.4 million went to the lab of u.s. taxpayer money. >> carley: infuriating. >> todd: drip, drip, drip on getting this information out. tackling student loan debt and this may be legal. >> cheryl: are they not going to come up with plan b to pay off student loan debt if the supreme court strikes them down. here is the white

of function research. 2 million taxpayer dollars that funded chinese entities, 1.4 went to the wuhan institutethis revelation is very concerning due to increase focus on the lab leak theory which suggest that the virus may have originated from the wuhan lab rather than through natural means. finally there's this. the report says americans are drinking as much alcohol a day as they did during the civil war era. the national institute on alcohol abuse finding the average american consume 2.51 gallons of ethanol which is found in wine in spirits during 2021. 2.5 gallons in 1960. 2.3% in the west, 1.6% in the midwest. experts say the pandemic contributed to higher consumption as a way to deal with stress. sales of canned alcohol jumped 127% within the last two years. by the way, moms with kids turned age of 5, in 2020 from the beginning to have pandemic to the end of that year, 2020, alcohol consumption with those moms jumped 25%. >> not just the moms. maria: that's amazing. that sounds like the alcohol people were drinking during covid. you are comparing to it the civil war. >> i'm surprised that

infected with the sars covid two virus were the three named workers, researchers in the lab at the wuhan institute of virology. if that should be proven, that is 100% proof that covid-19 comes from a lab accident. that's really game over and then we shift what do we do about it? >> bill: how possible is it that this administration gives china a pass on covid. >> i think they'll try to push the administration, president biden called for the intelligence review by all the intelligence agencies. that had not happened under the previous administration. now we're reaching toward declassification. i don't think there is some kind of internal cover-up. i don't think our government knows something and is suppressing it but the united states government is trying to balance a lot of interests on ukraine, south china sea, taiwan, chips, economy, all these other things and so it is up to us on the outside who have been pushing so hard for 3 1/2 years to lay out the evidence and say hey, this is a really important issue. >> bill: i agree with you on your list. it is all important stuff. so is covid. so is the

money went to chinese entities known for conducting coronavirus research and yes, including the wuhan institutetion army all before the covid 19 pandemic. the report by the government can't ability office comes after republicans on the house intelligence committee demanded a comprehensive accounting of all public funds that were dispersed to chinese entities from january 2014 through december 2021. the report states the chinese entities in question received $2 million combined from the us government. meantime republican senators josh hawley of missouri and mike braun of indiana demanding president biden comply with the covert origins bill he signed into law earlier this year that requires the declassification of all information pertaining to the links between the chinese lab and the origin of covid 19. the senators say the administration needs to provide as much transparency as possible on the origins of the fiery. the question is will we get it? stuart: a very good question. i can't answer it. thanks very much. marine veteran daniel penny indicted on a charge in connection to jordan neely's de

for research programs last five years research programs include two-million-dollar grant for wuhan institute covid-19 pandemic likely leaked from that lab. we're giving them more money now. >> yeah government has been hiding this i have been trying to get records three years we discovered nih grants are going to american universities and being subcontracted so not radical apparent going to china yet you have to look very hard often not reported or there is not much oversight on this, major u.s. universities at least five mainly u.s. universities sending money to china it gets worse not just for civilian research sending money to approach called academy military research sending u.s. tax dollars scientists called general colonel sending tax dollars to do military research in china. that is inexcusable should not happen i am glad senator ernst is pointing this out as well. >> particularly after what we have just been through with covid-19 we know the communist party of china covered up covid they still will not allow investigation into that wuhan lab. >> the initial cover-up was definitely in

taxpayer dollars at the wuhan lab, the grant that paid for his work given out by a unit at the national institutes of health that was led by dr. anthony fauci, despite his insistence they never looked at gain of function research is he lab. john roberts in washington. here we go again for another excitement-packed 60 minutes. >> sandra: you never know where it's going to go. kentucky senator rand paul is fired up and ready to react in just moments. but first this fox news alert. >> we currently have five service assets searching for the tie and we expect ten surface assets in the next 24/48 hours. >> smack dab in search and rescue. we need to have hope. i can't tell you what the noises are but we are searching where the noises are. >> john: update on the desperate search to find the missing crew aboard a submersible exploring the wreck of the titanic. >> sandra: they have heard more noises from the search area, but equipment may not make it there in time. >> john: admiral john mauger, it's good to have you on with us again. first of all, jamie frederick, captain in a press conference was talking a
