52,000. Ainsley working to get our nation back on track as sources tell fox news that covid19 likely originated in a laboratory in wuhan, china. Griff jenkins joins us with more on the shocking reveal, griff . Griff it is shocking, indeed. Brian, ainsley, steve, good morning. Multiple sources are telling fox news that this emanated from the institute of virology in wuhan not as a bioweapon but rather mistakes due to lax safety protocols resulting in bat to human transmission that person, patient zero, worked at the lab and spread it at a nearby wet markenot believed to sell bats. China sought to blame the market for the labs failure as china quickly moved to shut down travel domestically from wuhan to the west of china but not on international flights. Heres what the president had to say when asked about it. More and more we are hearing the story. And we will see. When you say multiple sources. Use the word sources but we are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation that happened. Griff this is not first time heard of problems in this lab. Two years ago as china continues to suppress critical information still today. Now secretary of state pompeo is saying its time for china to cooperate as secretary of defense mark esper says this is costing us in our response. Clearly, the chinese could have been more transparent earlier and shared much more of the data. We would have had a better understanding of this virus and then how to deal with it. I think we even today we see them withholding information. Griff these same sources also say the World Health Organization has been complicit in helping china cover its tracks. Something the organization denies as the president temporarily halts funding pending annual investigation. Finally further strange the u. S. China relationship guys a new state Department Report yesterday raises concerns china is violating zero yield Nuclear Weapons ban by secretly conducting tests in northwest china. Brian, ainsley, steve . Steve all right, griff. Thank you very much. China says we are following all the rules regarding the nuke tests as well. So while there is increasing confidence in this report that bret baier brought us exclusively yesterday, the one thing we know for sure is that china deceived the world. They suppressed data. They changed data. Samples were destroyed at this lab. Areas scrubbed. Reports erased. One source told bret baier it was the greatest government coverup of all time. Meanwhile listen to the secretary of state mike pompeo talking about the need for transparence. The fact that china hasnt answers is telling. We need the Chinese Government to open up. The worlds scientists know exactly how this came to be and how this virus began to spread. It didnt just put americans at risk it put people all around the world at risk. It needs to explain what happened. Steve and so, brian and ainsley, you know, there are so many dots that still need to be connected but increasing confidence that it did come from a lab but not the way we had heard initially where china, brian, was blaming the wet markets that was to distract us from the fact that it came from the lab. Brian true. Patient zero worked at the lab. Went into the population in wuhan, infected the entire city. They evidently kept this information. There is a theory out there from president xi because they thought about the blow back. Remember the doctor that wanted to come clean. They put him in jail. He ended up dying of the virus. Thats how terrible this is. We have a chance to unify the world against this menace which is china who jails millions of muslims because they just happen to be muslims in concentration camps. We should not be tolerating but for some reason we are. They have used the u. N. And the World Health Organization to gain influence around the world and now we they have poisoned 180 plus countries. They cannot be allowed to get away with this. Gordon cheng weighed in. When you look at the initial cases, many of them, perhaps as many as a third actually have no connect connection with the wet market which is this theory that beijing has been reporting. When we look at that we have to say either there were two outbreaks simultaneously or the wet market is not the source. This notion that these escaped from a lab actually i think is supported by the vast majority majority of the siption that we sescience that wesee out there. Remember, senator cotton brought this up in january and the Chinese Government went crazy. How dare you. How irresponsible. A month later theyre blaming us and blaming our military. But senator tom cotton and liz cheney said all along investigate what happened at that lab. And now the world is coming around to look at it. I expect them to push back today. But i hope the world can unify and demand transparency, ainsley. Ainsley sources say it was not created as a bioweapon. Many are questioning that they say it was a way to common demonstrate better identifying identifying and combating viruses than the United States is. This is increasing confidence that the virus likely originated in this lab and not the wet markets. These are sources. We requested information about these sources, about this information, but there are people in the Intel Community in washington. There are people inside the administration that are a little bit more skeptical about this report. So we have to, you know, cover that side of the story, too. But, what all source does agree with and the administration agrees with as we heard from mike pompeo there was clearly a coverup of data and information. Its just a mat of finding out what that was and if it was created in a lab and if china tried to cover it up. The problem is it is communist china. Lets get to the bottom of it. Bring in congressman chip roy. Do you think we will get answers out of china . Well, you never can be sure that were going to get anything out of china. They have been our adversary now for far too long trampling on the rights of people in hong kong. Engaging in intellectual stealing property. They are not our friend. Particularly troubling what we are now seeing these reports coming out which we suspected might be the case about something whether its been created in a lab or at least leaked or gotten out of the lab. I think its particularly troubling that the World Health Organization seems to be complicit in this. 500 million in taxpayer dollars coming from the United States. Hardworking american taxpayers organization seems to be complicit with china in covering up how this virus got released. We, of course know that the doctor in china who, you know, was out there trying to let the world know this was happening all the way back in december and then china trampled on his rights and abused him and put him into the kind of, you know, environment that we have come used to putting people in bad places. This doctor was, you know, actually trying to let the world know what was going on. I have introduced a measure to try to give him a congressional gold medal. I hope we can do that and move forward and hold china to account for whats going on over there. Steve well, congressman, no doubt chinese have covered things up for at least six days which would have been very valuable in the world response to fighting this thing. But for the World Health Organization, this was the president s comments a couple days ago and again yesterday. For them to go ahead and pretty much believe lock, stock, and barrel what the World Health Organization was saying, that is why he has suspended payments for 60 to 90 days. The speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, did not like that one little bit. She thinks there is going to be plenty of blow back for him. She said the president s halting of funding to the w. H. O. As it leads the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic is senseless. A weak person blames others. This decision is dangerous. , illegal and will be swiftly challenged. So it sounds like the speaker somehow is going to challenge the president over whether or not he has the authority to cut the cord on this for a while. My understanding is these are dollars that congress has given to the white house to deal with these kinds of things in a broader sense that the president has latitude to make decisions, particularly on Something Like this where it is involving our National Security interest. Clearly impact our National Security. And we are seeing that in realtime right now. I think the president is right to be holding the World Health Organization accountable. I love all the hand wringing im seeing from the hollywood elites upset. I have seen bill gates is pledging another 150 million. Okay. Good for you. Its about time you guys want to fund organizations like this that have not been looking out for the interest of the United States that have been acknowledging taiwan. That havent been acknowledging front line. Encourage the World Health Organization to step up and get it right. Stop siding with the communists in china. Stop against the interest in the United States. Do whats right for the American People and the world. The president is right to be holding the World Health Organization accountable. I join jim jordan and colleagues on the Oversight Committee second ago letter to the World Health Organization asking them what they knew. We want to get to the bottom of it. What did they know and when did they know it . When did they know what was going on in china. Could they have quoten in front of the six or seven days that could have been so important stopping the spread of this virus and damaging the world and the United States. We need to get to the bottom of this and know the truth while we continue to make sure we make america safe and get our economy back again. Im glad the president is trying to dos that a well. Brian president obama didnt do anything when the World Health Organization began being dominated by china. President bush was distracted by iraq when this guy was named leader of the World Health Organization. But now we dont have that choice. We have to come down on chinas influence on the u. N. And the w. H. O. And its amazing this is one time in which we can come together as a country on one nemesis, china, just like in 2016 the problem was russia. It wasnt one party. Ari fleischer weighed in last night. Its also called leverage. And if there is something that donald trump excels at is understanding how to move institutions, foreign institutions, International Organizations that have a lot of antiamerican bias. He does it through leverage. And the way that democrats and the media just instantly embrace this organization i dont understand, sean, for the life of me why they would rather blame donald trump first for everything than china and the w. H. O. To hold them accountable for that which they have done. Thats the instinct of these democrats and the media. And it hurts the country. Brian congressman, have you noticed the president keeps saying we are going to be helping other countries through this. I think he understands the president. That this is an opportunity for the world to see us as the leader that we have been. In a time of crisis. Do you also see that in congress . Absolutely. First of all, ari is exactly right. He articulated that very well. The classic example of where my colleague and democratic colleagues seem wanting to to side with the Chinese Communist instead of what is in the best interest of the American People and the world. We are seeing that right now unfold where democrat colleagues are holding up 250 billion necessary brian unbelievable. Im talking to them every day in my district. They are struggling for capital. Hoping to keep their businesses alive. They can employ people and get our economy started again. Meanwhile democrats want to play politics instead of providing the capital necessary to start businesses. We are trying to work hard to get through this pandemic. Get the economy started and keep the American People safe. Governor abbott in texas working hard. Why are more important supporting the chinese than getting american businesses restarted . Ainsley a lot of people have those similar questions and when you talk to people who have lost their jobs or shutting down their restaurant, they cant provide for their families, they are waiting on that money, and we are giving 500 million to an organization thats supposed to keep our country safe. They are the reason for if this originated in china. China is the reason for this. Wire all affected by. This and the World Health Organization is supposed to be there for us. We cant get answers and we dont feel safe. And people are losing their jobs. Now, lets get to this. The president is upset with congress for leaving washington. And he says he might be forced to adjourn the senate and the house and he says he may appoint his own political appointees. What do you think about this . Well, i have got to look to the procedures in which he is talking about adjourning the house and senate in order to do it. But heres what i will say. Congress needs to do our job. We need to get together and debate and get together in washington or figure out how to do it virtually but we need to do our job. We need to pass measures like we are talking about right now. We have got to fix the bills that are currently broken that are harming american businesses people cant get capital. We are encouraging people to stay unemployed. Small businesses who cant get money. We need to get together and do our job. We need to vote. We need to appoint and get through all of the nominees that the president has set up. The senate needs to get them confirmed. We need to do our job. Thats what we were elected to do. Its important we do that speaker needs to know this and we need to do the work of the American People. That means funding these businesses and getting our economy restarted. Im glad the president is trying to lead and make us do. This. Steve well, the president is taking the lead. The anow. Lateannouncement on how toreoped businesses across the country talking to the governors on a Conference Call later on today. He would like to reopen some parts of the country as soon as they are ready. He is going to be talking to the governors and said yesterday it sounds like 29 states could be close to doing that congressman, thank you for joining us today down there in texas. Thanks yall.
