The trump administration, which was saying a lot about the origins of the pandemic and blaming china, blaming the w.h.o., they in fact didnt do the hard work at the world health assembly to try to set up the kind of full investigation that we need and thats why its so significant that president biden now is calling for the kind of action thats required. >> now, you had pompeo at the time saying he had seen clear and convincing proof that it was in the lab. where is the proof? you have the same i...

Well in the polls. i never saw her on magazine covers like you saw beto orourke. i dont know about the negative attention, but she never got the same positive attention. her campaign has imploded. i think thats on her and her people. she was all over the map many the beginning. the portrait she created for voters was of an indecisive person whether she was a moderate competing with biden. and i think thats ultimately why her campaign has failed. >> there was a moment after her launch that trump ...

From the time bill taylor expressed concern about the quid pro quo and when gordon sondland got back to him. >> there are real questions about whether that call happened. he was specific. it happened in between those two tects. one after midnight and one at 5:00 a.m. which is strange to think about it. hes calling the president at 1:00 a.m.? 2:00 a.m.? the testimony of two other witnesses was different about that call. they say it happened three days earlier. he told us about it. we have contemp...
