lab. i think likely the wuhan institute of virology. every one of the media outlets that echoed those talking points from the chinese communist party, every democrat poll its the that echoed those -- politician that echoed those talking points should be held accountable. but secondly, we need real transparency, and the government of china needs to be held accountable for the millions of lives that have been lost because of this virus, for the trillions of dollars of damage in terms of jobs destroyed, businesses destroyeded, the world economy brought to its knees because of china's culpability. elizabeth: senator, shouldn't the energy county and fbi disclose what they know? what is new intelligence? because, you know, we have been waiting three years already. three years is too long to wait. >> yeah. elizabeth: shouldn't they disclose it? >> absolutely, yes, this should be made public. the public has a right to know. not just the american public, the entire world. because china's culpability for covid is of relevance to every country on

who got canceled this same thing, what is considered the mainstream, government position on the wuhan lab leak. we shockingly still have dr. collins, dr. fauci still saying they think it probably was not from the lab. dr. collins was very clear about that. by the way this is not the first lab leak that resulted in a virus. not the first lab leak from china resulting in an epidemic. so history is simply proving that there is a track record here. that we shouldn't be doing gain of function research. we should being honest about lab leaks. some way why are we talking about this? there is no pointing about the lab leak. this is the biggest liability case in the history of the world. think about all the energy spent right now on the two murders of the murdaugh family in south carolina relative to the amount of time we spend on this wuhan lab leak. neil: it is a very good point. i'm just wondering though, explain what a lab leak would have looked like if it accidentally, you assume no one deliberately did this, this indeed how it all started even among those at the department under some arguing

"the washington post" the new coronavirus obstinately released from wuhan lab is doubtful. ut dr. fauci and when your leader how suddenly became incredible the lab leak theory. it changed following presidential election. >> harris: two things after the white house, kirby, one, can we get some of the information they are looking out to be classified to the american people to see it? we are grown-ups and we can handle it. and you know, the senators haven't even all seen it. it is an important committee. so i do think we need more eyes on this. maybe more consensus than we know about. by the way, to the white house what is a consensus to them? i want to know because we will not get agreement every single agency. that is ridiculous. we make new agents constantly. they can create one, "i don't agree in debunk wrong." who knows? but it picks up and politically brilliant as you often are come if they are not pushing against trump now, why pin it on china? why go that direction? maybe because you don't really want to talk about the fact china hasn't you on your knees right now? i sa

anthony fauci rejected the conspiracy coronavirus was man-made in a lab in wuhan, china. this week donald trump is still pushing pushing the debunked. they like escape from a lab because it sounds like marvel comic book. both scientists and intelligence community agrees this coronavirus was not man-made peer that is not a possibility. >> there is no reason to believe any of these conspiracy theories that it was leaked from wuhan lab intentionally or otherwise. >> emily: it is shameful, tammy, as guy pointed out so much about becoming or even being confirmed it was true. and again, the fact that in verse wasn't proven to be true. so in the absence of any fact as people daring to ask questions, especially in the landscaped of grants to the wuhan lab wuhan lab and grants by china to the american universities and things like did obviate the need to ask questions. >> tammy: that is an excellent point. one of the most important points where this will land for the american people. that uniformity takes time and effort. they were not just coming to this point it is debunked in a c

he joined me to discuss a that wuhan lab, the wall street journal is now confirming that the u.s. at covid most likely leaked from the wuhan virology lab in china. this confirmation coming nearly three years after tom cotton first said that on this program. cotton tweeted yesterday, quote, china's lab leak being proven right doesn't matter, what matters is holding the chinese communist party accountable so it doesn't happen again. we have not held them accountable. joining us now, gordon chang. thank you for being here. what is your asse assess assesst we're learning from the energy department, as reported on the journal as reported nurse on this program by -- first on this program by tom cotton. >> the energy department conclusion is correct. clearly this was a lab leak. the question is whether it was engineered. i'm sure it was engineered as well. we've got to remember that china sent its top biological we ponce expert to the bsl-4 lab in december 2019. i believe her job was to clean it up because they knew that there was a leak and we have known from the state department investi

he was talking about the wuhan lab all the way back to februart it likely leaked from that lab.partment is now concluding covid most likely leaked from that chinese lab nearly three years ago. i asked the gatestone institute senior fellow gordon chang about this in the last hour. watch. >> the energy department conclusion is correct. clearly, this was a lab leak. the issue is whether the pathogen that causes covid-19 was engineered but i'm sure that it was engineered as well. we got to remember that china sent its top biological weapons expert to the bsl-4 lab in december 2019. i believe her job was to clean it up because they knew that there was a leak. maria: yes, and after course china has responded saying that people should, quote, stop rehashing the lab leak narrative, liz. the chinese communist party wants all of the speculation to stop, no investigation at this point, they still don't want investigators into the wuhan lab and, you know, joe bidens has not brought it up. >> if you remember, there was a big investigation, a lot of people from w.h.o., from our country around

tom cotton a couple days ago spouting a conspiracy theory that the chinese made this up. >> in a lab in wuhan. >> rush limbaugh with zero proof suggesting a chinese bio weapon was to blame. >> we know it's deal bufrnthd that this was man mad. >> dr. anthony fauci rejected the fact that it was made in a lab in wuhan china yet this week donald trump is still pushing the debunk despite his own people telling him this is not true. >> if you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what's out there now, it's very, very strongly leaning towards this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated. >> well, bret, i'm really sorry that the lab leak has become such a distraction for so many people because frankly we still don't know. there is no received to say, most of the scientific community myself included, think that is a possibility but far more likely this was a natural way which the virus left a bat. >> tucker: totally completely debunked a conspiracy theory just like trump russia collusion really happened. no, they were wrong on that, too. they were wrong on hunter biden's

in the wuhan lab. i think that's exactly why he doesn't want any of this to come out, because it actually may point back to him or his agency, and it would be very embarrassing. and, frankly, now after he said he didn't do it in front of the senate, it could actually be criminal in nature. elizabeth: so -- because, to your point, he's misleading, committing perjury? >> yeah, absolutely. so, yeah, we need to get to the bottom of it. elizabeth: okay. >> and no matter what dr. fauci said, we need to get to the bottom of it. maybe he had nothing to do with it, but we need to get to the bottom of it. elizabeth: senator rand paul said is dr. fauci set up waivers so gain of function research could bypass internal committee are reviews. there's also this, you know, the white house keeps talking about there's no intelligence community consensus on what happened here, but so what? congressman, when was the last time you heard any consensus in the intelligence community? [laughter] i mean, look at the 51, you kno

joins the fbi in its thinking that covid-19 may actually have leaked from the lab in china, the wuhan lab. virology lab. it's the latest in several collapses of the covid policy that locked down, masked up and mandated the united states for over two years. this is a big deal. one of the biggest revelations that the naysayers now have is a 180 or natural immunity. a new study finds that one bout of covid is better than two covid vaccine shots in protection. that is published in lancet. remember, early on they were singing a very different tune. they said absolutely didn't come from the lab. we're talking about why they might have said that in just a moment. on the lack leak, proponents of which were labelled racist or maga by tech titans and many in the media. the head of the cdc now looks like the smartest guy in the room. but this thinking got him in very hot water back then with dr. fauci. >> i still think the most likely etiology of this pathogen was from a laboratory, escaped. the other people don't believe that. that's fine. science will figure it out. >> martha: science will eventua

what he said about the new reporting that covid leaked from a wuhan lab. that's the intelligence report from the department of energy. they have a very sophisticated intelligence division called the z division. what did they find out that made them change their mind? breaking right now, president biden is speaking in virginia at this hour saying the gop is touching that third rail on social security and medicare. wait until you see who is talking about saving those programs now. economists steve moore and robert wolf debate next. >> if anyone tries to get rid of social security and medicare,ly veto it. if that's the republican dream, i'm their nightmare. oh yeah, that is them. (that is howard) yeah, that's on howard's campus. ohhh, she's so powerful, she carried on the family legacy. we were blown away. (chuckles) i not only was a student and an undergrad, but i've been a professor there for twenty years, so it's really a special moment to know that i had a family member who over a hundred years prior have walk these grounds. it's deeply uplifting. yes, it

i mean, unleashing a deadly virus, covid-19, from a wuhan lab accidental or not, then covering it up.ion into wuhan. a million plus americans are dead. theft of intellectual property over decades. now this. the surveillance balloons breaching our territory air space and on the ground. and what have we done? what kind of rea correspondencee given? canceling a trip. we canceled antony blinken's trip. that's what we did. >> that's it. we've not only done nothing. we've actually aided and abetted the chinese communist party under the biden administration. your question was what more needs to happen. i'm not sure. i can't imagine during the height of the cold war, maria, that the united states would even have tolerated 10% of this nonsense from the soviets. we certainly would not have tolerated that by our advairlys leading up to world war i or world war ii. this is the point for americans across the political spectrum. the chinese believe they are at war with us. at what point -- at what point will the president of the united states actually lead us into a war footing with this country, h

report by department of energy, obtained by "wall street journal," federal scientist say a lab r leak in wuhan, china is most likely cause of the epidemic. remember when even suggesting a lab leak was heresy and anyone who said it was canceled, a lot of that was because dr. fauci refused to consider that theory. >> very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately m manipulated. i invite you to look and ask any of those vi virologists, they said, you know, up only looking at this carefully now, we think it more likely that it was a natural evolution. >> no they didn't. there were a few open minded doctors who were actually following the science. particularly in trump administration among them former cdc director robert redfield who put his career on the line saying this. >> i still think that most likely ideology of this pathogen from wuhan was a laboratory, escaped. kennedy: we're getting there. we don't have all of the answers, chinese stonewalling as they have from the beginning, so is the current white house, some democrats are beginning to come aroun

you think it came from wuhan the lab. >> i think it is obvious it came from wuhan.ih to delete gene sequences they submitted to a data bank? >> bill: thank you for your time and analysis today. >> dana: it is curious why the white house continues to do this. "wall street journal" had the headline not a consensus wuhan covid dodge? saying that part of being better for the next pandemic is knowing if humans played a role in creating this one. what is strange to me is if there is some reason they don't want to go ahead and commit to it, it is weird because as these things come forward, it will get closer to re-election time and at some point they will have to say this is it. maybe there is something going on with china behind the scenes. be great if they could leak that to one of their trusty sources they read about in the media all the time. we would at least understand what they're thinking. >> bill: we'll see if that's the case or whether they hold fast. so far they are. >> dana: we want to take you down to south carolina. a live look at the alex murdaugh trial down

the wuhan lab a 30 minute drive from the market. p a sophisticated air purification system and at the bottom underneath the lab decontamination that allows for safe sewage disposal. the research takes here on the second floor and some have questioned the lab staff training. the chinese raised concerns in 2018. at the time the director cooperative paper pointing out safety issues across all biosafety labs in china. he warned, in part, that there was a lack of operable technical standards. there is another lower level biosafety lab in wuhan. research was conducted here including bats and coronavirus is located just a couple boxes from the seafood market. the chinese government denied the claims that it leaked from a lab and its state media unleashed a relentless propaganda campaign. using digital articles, tv reports and documentaries and even a rap song. the aim come to sold out and deflect blame. monday's response from the foreign ministry said, in the world health organization. in january, 2021 the w.h.o. sent a team of internationa

. >> there is this question about the wuhan lab, we know it's been debunked in this virus was man-made or anything like that. >> the can fears spirits seat theory is that originated and was perhaps man-made inside a lab in china grade >> dr. anthony fauci rejected the conspiracy that was man-made in a lab in wuhan, china. >> they both agree that this coronavirus was not man-made created that is not a possibility. so much egg on their faces it is not a face it is a frittata. that has eggs and it just in case you guys don't know. how can the surprise you? the media is consistently wrong or any waiter seen joy behar she is eating for two. this at hunter's laptop was misinformation turned out it was his real as his crack habit. they said gas stoves are not being banned under the current proponents they will be. if i went to every single thing that they were wrong in. we would be here until tomorrow morning when they crack open the boxes unpacked the fox & friends host. which is why the slab leak story is such a big deal. because the media and the government try to hold it back like eric sw

our david culver traveled to the labs in wuhan. you'll see. >> this is one of the labs within wuhan. and of course not too far from the market either. >> it's tonight's "outfront" investigation. ♪ ♪ get directv with a t two year price guarantee. i'm a gas hotel. i know what you're tnking - it's cool, i don't want anything too serious either. just a fun, spontaneous thing. i'm looking for someone who will let loose. dress up a little. see a show. order the steak and the lobster. some people say i'm excessive, but who cares. i'm just looking for a saturday to remember, and a sunday by the pool. think you can keep up? i was thinking, i should probably set up that 90 day refill. walgreens is all about making life easier. i can help set that up right now for you. i'll be honest, there are days i forget what she's supposed to be taking. hey, i get it... and you're not alone in this, ok? so james, all these prescriptions. are they covered? that's right. with your medicare plan you get low-cost copays. thank you. let's talk about making thi

origins and he told us that he believed they were, in fact, experimenting with a bioweapon in the wuhan lably happened is that escaped. so these are not conspiracy theorists and yet joe biden is so afraid of xi jinping, i don't know what this -- what the ccp has on the biden family, the extent of it, we don't know, obviously he's afraid to poke the bear. mark: yeah, why are all of the covid-19 documents classified? over a million americans died from covid. we deserve answers. we want to know where it came from and the media and this administration has been lying to us for about 3 years now. they told us initially it came from a bat and then from pengalin, nobody knew what a pengalin was before 2020 and cloth mask and then they told us natural immunity was not as effective as vaccines. the cdc finally came out and admitted that natural immunity is twice as effective at preventing hospitalizations than the vaccine. so everything that we have been told for going on 3 years now has been a lie. again, they think we are stupid, they think we don't know. as long as they hide it from us, maybe we w

we can't get in there to look at the wuhan lab and the spy balloon over the nuclear sites.the ccp to america? >> well, according to this administration the ccp is not doing wrong. under president trump and mike pompeo, the ccp would not have done this. evil, russia, iran, north -- noh korea. you look at what has happened with the ccp propping up the russian army with navigation equipment and and helping them n fight against ukraine. it's an unsavorily bunch of characters. we will not tolerate this, it is dangerous. what they are doing is dangerous and the spy balloon has become emblematic of this place, inappropriate and dangerous foreign policy of this administration. maria: hopefully the least of it is emblematic and not much more damaging than anybody knows given the fact that it was likely sending data back in realtime over military installs where there are nuclear silos. the white house is rejecting report from pulitzer prize journalist that says the navy destroyed the north stream two pipeline. utah senator mike lee twitted this. i'm troubled that i can't rule out tha

let's get to what jonathan turley says the whole wuhan lab leak story is a scandal of media and government censorship. let's watch together. >> this was a concerted effort by many in politics, and the media, to silence andtion anyone who was suggesting a lab theory behind the release of covid-19. the result was largely successful. president biden contributed to this. he said that social media companies had to censor more because they were, quote, killing people, close quote, by not attacking disinformation on covid. well, censorship doesn't protect people. it doesn't save lives. it could cost lives. >> he lays it on the feet of the president of the united states. congressman? >> yeah. i'm with him on that. don't forget that president biden was out there putting together with the fbi a disinformation team on this. he was calling for people to be censored. you know, harris, when you marry big government with big tech censorship, that's kind. authoritarianism we've never seen in this country, and frightened me, still frightens me, that we actually had an elected president of the united states

most dishonest person on television, trump turning his investigation to a conspiracy theory to a lab on wuhan don't watch her show but is she in tears begging for forgiveness of the audience? no. obviously she was wrong the virus did come from the lab intentionally or not. but what was interesting is she was also wrong about what donald trump's government, under the leadership and part of mike pompeo was doing. on march 17, 2020, aa group of scientists wrote a paper in nature magazine that paper concluded that, quote, we do not believe that any type of laboratory based scenario is plausible. now, that's the final word, that's the science. internal nih e-mail said tony fauci helped edit that paper he did not disclose that publicly it was all behind the seasons. it was interesting because fauci was funding bat coronavirus experiments in wuhan, the one that patiently caused the pandemic. so he was editing the report on the origin of the virus? okay. that's not peer reviewed as we say. it's the opposite. as paul reports on sub stack, a few days after that was published in nature, the state depart

i think that clearly the origin of this virus was a leak from the wuhan lab and eventually that will -- people will come to realize that. >> harris: two federal agencies now saying a lab leak caused the outbreak but the white house still resisting. national security spokesman john kirby says those conclusions are quote, unquote, not a consensus. our own jacque heinrich went back and forth with the white house press secretary yesterday. pressed her on the administration dismissing anyone who raised that theory for years they did that. >> on the lab leak news from the department of energy, is it prudent to have members within the administration voicing support for one theory over another if there isn't a consensus? >> we need to know more and need to get to the bottom of how -- how covid-19 originated. >> a lot of those people were derided as fringe, conspiracy theorists. are there lessons learned? >> the president is asking his team to do everything they can to figure out where it originated because of what could happen next. you have a president who wants to get to the bottom of this.

the virus most likely leaked from a lab in wuhan, china.sion from the energy department, although sources say the agency has low confidence in that classified assessment. the intelligence community remains divided over the origins of the coronavirus. let's bring in david culver. so the energy department says probably. isn't that essentially the thing here? >> probably. and it's probably that it accidentally leaked from a lab. they don't go into much more detail beyond that, john. i think a lot of folks want to know what that new intelligence is that led them to the low confidence assessment. low confidence is how they characterize it. they are still leaning toward that direction. they likely fall short of having enough definitive evidence to conclude that in a more robust manner. as you point out, there's a lot of division over this, particularly in the u.s. intelligence community. back in 2021 president biden put forward a 90-day review from the intelligence community, trying to get to the bottom of figuring out the origin of covid-19 and

he faced congress last year in june, an email that helped fund some research at the wuhan lab thanked him for saying the science supported the natural origins theory and not a lab leak. >> you can misconstrue it. the email was from a person to me saying thank you for whatever it is he thought i said and i said i think the most likely origin is a jumping of species. i do think it is, at the same time as i'm keeping an open mind it might be a lab leak. >> so lawmakers are going to try to discern whether the u.s. broadly made the right policy decisions in light of this new information, john. >> john: take a look at that, you take a look at mask, natural immunity, and there was a group think narrative that was going on that has since been proven to be somewhat fallacious. jacqui heinrich, we look forward to the briefing later this afternoon. >> sandra: steve hilton, host of the next revolution. steve, great to have you on today. as we await the white house press briefing we know john kirby will speak as well as karine jean pierre, and china responding to a department of energy report accu

department of energy is that the lab leak theory is gaining traction, such as new researches at the wuhan labell mysteriously bill back in november of 2019. the problem is christine, with china unlikely to opening their labs to outside investigators anytime soon, if ever, we just may never find a definitive answer on the origin of the pandemic. but the war of words between washington and beijing unlikely to stop anytime soon. christine. >> that's the only thing we know for sure, thank you so much, steven jiang. >>> the biden administration saying there will be real costs if china provides legal aid to russia. telling cnn that the u.s. has laid out the stakes and the consequences in direction conversations with beijing. >> beijing will have to make its own decisions about how it mrods. whether tell provides military assistance, but if it goes down that road, it will come at real cost to china. and i think china's leaders are weighing that as they make their decisions. we will match carefully, we will be vigilant, and we will continue to send a strong message that we believe sending military ai

maria: will we ever get to the bottom of who leaked this out of a wuhan lab and why did the ccp cover out up for so long. >> that used to be a conspiracy. now it's accepted basically as fact. outside of anthony fauci, of course. >> it is incredible how 15 days has turned into three years of national emergencies, $5 trillion in spending, keeping tennis stars and tourists out of the done. maria: i'm glad he won, by the way. >> djokovic will be able to come back. that's finally a good one. it is imperative to make sure there are limitations to how this happens again. could do we make it like any other national emergency where the president has 60 days to announce and congress must pass and congress must repeatedly pass or terminate, right and with regard to the wuhan lab stuff i think there might be bipartisan movement on that because this cannot happen again. if there was something like the plague that killed one-third of everyone who got it we wouldn't be able to lock down again because there's no public trust. maria: we don't know if they were playing around with a bioweapon. that's p

first unleashing covid-19, covering up covid-19 from the wuhan lab, not allowing investigation. now this surveillance flight into america. your thoughts on the u.s.' response. >> the response is very weak coming from this white house. and this is a point where the house and the senate are going to have to step up and take some measures to rein china in. the president is not speaking out against the chinese communist party. maria, you're talking about covid. what about what is happening with fentanyl? joe biden should tell the chinese communist party, stop manufacturing fentanyl today. they apprehended 14,000 pounds at the border last year. that's enough to kill 3.3 billion people. 70,000 americans lost their lives to fentanyl last year. he should be adamant about this. there should be sanctions existence the ccp. look at concern against the ccp. look at what they're doing bullying taiwan and the philippines and the south pacific islands. look at what they're doing, continuing to steal our intellectual property. look at what they're doing with great power competition. look at wha

lab. think about it. it happened in wuhane home of the wuhan institute of virology that studies bat coronaviruses. they were doing research, at biosafety level two instead of four, with spacesuits. three people from the wuhan lab got sick in november 2019 at the start of the pandemic and had to go to the hospital with covid symptoms. yeah, it didn't come from a lab. i mean, this is a two-minute decision. >> it's a long list. dana? >> let's talk about the government and the media response, because here's jonathan turley, what he wrote in the "new york post," that the covid lab leak is government censorship. that's the next step, if the government are willing to do introspection and ask themselves why did we insist on telling people it wasn't from a lab, when it could have been, even if it's low confidence, that is what they believe. >> why is there no 9/11 commission for the covid pandemic? we got so many things wrong from the response. you look at fauci's mistakes from the beginning of this, saying for six weeks that there wa

the department of energy have come to the conclusion that they believe this virus came from the wuhan lab. what's important about their workforce is they have an enormous, powerful scientific workforce. i think they did approach this in an aggressive, scientific way. >> stories about the lab leak were dismissed at the time in favor of theories about somebody eating a sick bat at a wet market in wuhan and some progressives are now saying that based on what they know now, that was a mistake. >> it was wrong. i am a defender of the first amendment of free speech and i think it was wrong to try to censor the folks who were arguing that it was an accidental leak from a lab. at the least we know it's a plausible theory if the department of energy has put this out. >> president biden hasn't said anything about this yet. we don't expect him to say anything about it any time soon. when we see him in virginia beach it will be to talk about healthcare. >> bill: department of energy, f.b.i., two so far. nice to see you peter doocy from the north lawn. >> dana: republican senator tom cotton has been s

new assertion from the energy department that the coronavirus pandemic might have leaked from a wuhan labat's your best guest as to whether it was a wet market or a lab leak? >> jake, it's a very concerning report. we need transparency. my concern is that china isn't being transparent. i can't speculate on which agency is right other than to say we have to demand much more transparency from china. >> when the lab leak theory was first proposed, there was some very aggressive pushback from health authorities. why do you think -- it does seem like it's a credible possibility. who knows what the truth is? why do you think there was such aggressive pushback? >> jake, it was wrong. as you know, i'm a defenders of the first amendment, of free speech. i think it was wrong to try to se censor that it was a leak from a lab. >> the energy department says it updated its report after new intelligence came to light. do you have any idea what kind of intelligence or evidence that could be? >> jake, i don't know, but one of the things i think on the china select committee, is to look at all these agency

delivering weapons or covering up what happened in the wuhan lab.nry to russia, to wage war against ukraine more skillfully, if the wuhan lab is responsible for basically killing more than a million americans through the release of covid, what is our answer? do we declare war on them? certainly not. what do we do against china to give weapons to russia or the cover-up of what may have happened in the wuhan lab? what do we do? i don't know that anybody has the answer to that. >> yeah. >> as for western coalition help for ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy is renewing the call for fighter jets but in an interview on friday president biden ruled out providing f-16s quote for now. >> a very important caveat. >> joining us is representative jason crow of colorado. he served into deployments and called for jets to be provided to ukraine. so let's start there. you say the jets need to go now. why? >> well, we know that ukraine has to retake seized territory for them to win. they need the momentum and go on the offensive. the rurp military is decimated.

community because they all have different opinions, the fbi, the energy department stand on this wuhan lab the cia and another agency that officials won't name because it is classified information, they remain undecided about the lab leak or natural transmission theories. steve griff grift energy department by the way gave a statement to fox news digital saying the department of energy continues to support the thorough, careful and objective work of our intelligence officials in investigating the origins of covid-19 as the president directed. we will see much more on that clout throughout the morning. president joe biden facing backlash as he plans to discuss healthcare in virginia tomorrow but still has no plans to visit east palestine, ohio, where locals are struggling in the wake of that toxic train derailment. >> ainsley: our next guest is already there talking to the residents on the ground. our fox news medical contributor is live in east palestine, ohio, and he joins us now. this is brilliant. thank you for going out there. they have so many questions, dr. siegel. >> good morning, a

it spread from a lab in wuhan.hat kind of evidence or investigation do we really need to prove it one way or the other and to learn lessons from this, so, god willing, it never happens again. >> right. i mean, i do think there are important reasons to understand the origins of that, though, that point you just made. this is all about preparing for another pandemic. one thing to keep in mind when we talk about these labs in wuhan, they have been doing coronavirus research for a long time. that has been known. in fact, one of the lead researchers in there is known as the bat lady because for 20 days, really since the days of sars, they have been studying coronaviruses. that's not new knowledge. the real question is were the viruses they were studying in these labs similar or related to the virus that caused covid. so you want to look at those viral samples and identify them and compare them to the early samples of covid. you could look for blood samples within lab workers as well, wolf. if this was something that was

government agencies that wuhan was the source of the lab leak.n the east room of the white house i had this exchange with then president trump. listen here. >> have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the wuhan institute of virology was the origin of this virus? >> yes, i have, yes, i have. >> what gives you a high degree of confidence it originated from the wuhan institute of virology. >> we don't know what he was referring to, and have not found out since but he was right. >> yeah, i mean, part of the problem, john, that the denial of the lab theory became part of the narrative against trump and how that plays out. the minute this was pegged as showing that trump is a racist, the media piled on and said all of this was a racism and trump and anyone who utters this theory is just outing themselves as the covid bull connors of our time. well, that has a public health impact. what should be a moment of shame for many in the media, they actively prevented a public health debate from occurring. they attack

three years after the start of the covid-19 pandemic, the theory that the virus originated from a lab in wuhana, in the spotlight. the department of energy now saying in an update a classified report that it believes with low confidence that the virus accidentally escaped from a lab. but that theory remains on minority opinion within the u.s. intelligence community. >> some elements of the intelligence community reached conclusions on one side, some on the. after a number of them have said that they just don't have enough information to be sure. >> early in the, pandemic many prominent scientists discredited the so-called lab leak theory. one group writing a letter published in the lancet medical journal saying, we stand together, to strongly condemn conspiracy theory, suggesting that covid-19 does not have a natural origin. >> but other medical professionals have a long refused to rule it out. >> these kinds of lab leaks happen all the time actually. even here in the united states. we've had mishaps. in china, the last six known outbreaks of sars one have been out of labs. >> even doctor anth

the medical community, media, politicians -- >> griff: you can't even get into the wuhan lab, they willot let who. >> brian: who was part of the cover-up, tied to funding of this lab, where it emanated from. opposite of conspiracy theory, group of people do not want anyone to know what went down. fbi concluded it was from lab election, new news, energy department believes that, as well. common sense, it isn't common these days. >> ainsley: not everyone agrees in the intel community, the white house says there is not a definitive answer. there is the cia and another group that is undecided. you are right, majority of people say it had to have happened in the lab, we want to know why they would not investigate it. and b, we need to make sure this doesn't happen again. we lost million people in eshg m and millions around the world. we were shut in our houses. we interviewed someone in california who could not leave her house for a month. we were not in school, kids were wearing masks. can you imagine if there was another lab election and we go through that again, have years of more lost le

other surveillance, it would be impossible for the lab leak accidentally happen in such lab, and to cause the wuhan outbreak and also the pandemic. so definitely we agree to the first step, it was china lab but we need to pursue the truth of origin and keep going on. >> tucker: we know the chinese government allowed its infected citizens to travel in huge groups to europe in the early days, that was intentional. but you believe the whole thing, they came up with this virus and unleashed it on the world to destroy the western economies and the elevate their own position globally. >> i want to emphasize one thing is, i would say based on the evidence and the source i have, that the lab -- that the virus was intentionally brought out of this strict lab and released in the community. however, i don't think the outbreak in wuhan was intentional. i would say it was because military scientists underestimate the transmissibility. that's when finally it got out of control and caused the local outbreak. however we should know ccp government intentionally made it to go all over the world to kill millions of p
