concluded it wasn t a lab leak before they seriously even investigated it. they labeled it a loony conspiracy theory because, like the nba, they d rather rip trump then defend china. so now what do these clowns do when that narrative is collapsed? you know, i don t think they blame trump, do you? and for trump, the question of the lab theory was less about finding the truth and more about finding a scapegoat as he made racist comments, deflecting from his own poor political performance and coincided with higher rates of hate crimes against asian-americans. greg: that sounds an awful lot like a defensive dodge. sure sure, yeah, we were wrong but it doesn t matter because the guy who is right is a big meanie. just for fun let s pretend this is the one time cnn is right. can t a president be wrong in the media still investigate a legitimate story simultaneously? you follow? even if there are opinions true about trump, it doesn t explain why the media didn t do its job.
bret baier, thanks. dr. fauci, media and facebook all shut down the wuhan lab theory. said no, this is debunked and said it within months of the virus beginning to infiltrate the country. how dangerous was that misinformation for the united states and how much evidence could have been lost during the time when all of those large forces were telling people that they should not look down that path. katie pavlich and dan henninger next. ne up and up. giving you a once in a lifetime chance to turn the equity in your home into cash in your hand. the newday 100 va cash out loan lets you take out $50,000 or more, by letting you borrow up to 100% of your home s value. make the call while rates are still near all-time lows!
administration to how did this happen. harris: thank you very much. wall street journal editorial board is taking aim at white house chief medical advisor dr. anthony fauci. in may 2020 dr. fauci dismissed the lab theory that his organization had funded the wuhan lab through a nonprofit. even if u.s. funding did not go directly to research that potentially caused the pandemic, it is still problematic. public officials like mike pompeo and donald trump began to support the possibility but accused of trying to distract from the administration s pandemic missteps. general jack keane, retired four star general and fox news senior strategic analyst. general, always great to see you. so strategy is at hand here because china knew exactly what it was doing by keeping people out. it wasn t just us. it was the w.h.o., thailand who wanted in early.
playing down the pandemic reality in america are now seeing more interest in the china lab theory as some kind of vindication. enough to play i told you so with fauci. harris: one twitter user called chris cuomo a straight up liar saying it would matter to a responsible journalistic outlet but for cuomo he works for cnn. a news analyst pointed out cuomo himself called it breaking news when he reported the u.s. was looking at the lab theory back in april of 2020. check this out. the united states is pursuing the theory that the virus started in a chinese lab, not a market. part of the curiosity is we don t know a lot because somebody changed a virus structure enough to make it a mystery for us. u.s. intel and national security officials say the
investigationy so that the intelligence department can give us more clarity about the origins of the virus and we need to prepare for the future. and among the things we re considering are that in the united states, the endless frontier act, my legislation working with republicans and democrats alike to invest in the technologies of the future that will allow the united states to the outgrow, outinnovate and outcompete the chinese communist party. let me ask you. the biden administration is leaning on the world health organization to investigate the wuhan lab theory. obviously that s they are more we we are more likely to get some answers from w.h.o. which china is party to than, you know, they are not going to let the cia come in and give it a look. sure. but do you think any findings from from the world health organization will be credible at this point? well, look, they are certainly in need of great reform. perhaps replacement as an entity. in fact, i led a hearing on
