The Wuhan Institute of Virology has long been a hotbed of conspiracy theories about the origin of a mysterious virus that has swept across the world. Now, there s mounting evidence that it s not just a conspiracy theory, but that the U.S. government was behind it. And guess who in the government helped fund it?

00:00:27.000 Welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:29.000 This is producer Andrew Andrew Colvett filling in for Charlie.
00:00:33.000 Hopefully you guys have been enjoying the episodes this week.
00:00:36.000 We've been having a great time making them.
00:00:38.000 We talk about a lot of stuff here, but it's about one main topic.
00:00:43.000 It's about the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:00:46.000 Guys, if you've been wondering where the heck this virus came from, there is mounting evidence to suggest that you and I are not conspiracy nuts after all, that the Institute of Virology was behind it.
00:00:56.000 And guess who in the U.S. government helped fund it?
00:01:00.000 You're not going to want to miss this.
00:01:01.000 A lot of juicy details.
00:01:03.000 Guys, this is explosive.

00:01:34.000 I would appreciate it.
00:01:35.000 All right, guys, without further ado, buckle up.
00:01:38.000 Here we go.
00:01:39.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:40.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:42.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:46.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:49.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:50.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:51.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:02:00.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:08.000 That's why we are here.
00:02:11.000 Honored to be with you.
00:02:12.000 Again, this is Andrew Colvett.
00:02:13.000 I am the producer of this show and sometimes guest host.
00:02:17.000 There's a lot, and I say this every day because, you know, really the media would want you to believe that we are living through a very sleepy time.
00:02:27.000 That the lullaby presidency of Joe Biden, there's nothing to really talk about, nothing to see here, folks.
00:02:32.000 But there's actually a lot going on if you have the desire to find it, if you want to peer one level deeper, if you have the right news sources and you're not watching CNN and MSNBC, which are both disasters.
00:02:45.000 By the way, some good news on that front.
00:02:47.000 They've both seen their ratings absolutely plummet.
00:02:50.000 A new report today said that the ratings came out from January to April, and actually in this first part of May, CNN and MSNBC are both down about two-thirds of their overall viewers.
00:03:04.000 Two-thirds.
00:03:06.000 So there is a God.
00:03:07.000 He is real.
00:03:09.000 And we will praise him for that.
00:03:10.000 Thank you.
00:03:11.000 Okay, so Tucker Carlson did a phenomenal piece on a story that we've been monitoring for a couple of days.
00:03:17.000 Jesse Waters had covered it over the weekend.
00:03:21.000 We noticed it then.
00:03:22.000 National Review actually did a great piece on it.
00:03:25.000 And it's a fascinating story.
00:03:27.000 And we've pulled a lot of sound for you guys.
00:03:29.000 We're going to go through it today.
00:03:31.000 But it dives right into the controversy about the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:03:38.000 Now, we've all been living through the pandemic for years.
00:03:42.000 It feels like years, for a year.
00:03:45.000 It's turned all of our lives upside down.
00:03:49.000 And we've been told since the very beginning that to suggest that this virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology was a cracknut conspiracy theory and that we were all conspiracy theorists, just like we always are about everything.
00:04:02.000 Everything we do is a conspiracy theory.
00:04:06.000 But last night, it got the biggest megaphone in conservative media on a story that was written by Nicholas Wade.
00:04:18.000 He published it on Medium, but Nicholas Wade is a very accomplished science writer.
00:04:25.000 He's done stints at science and the New York Times.
00:04:31.000 And out of nowhere, he sort of released this very long and technical, but very riveting article about the origin of COVID-19.
00:04:42.000 Asking the question, did it emerge naturally out of nature from one animal species and having the virus jump to another?
00:04:50.000 Or as has probably been more common sense to many of you in this audience and certainly us here at the show, we'd assumed that having the Wuhan Institute of Virology so close to the outbreak, it was obviously eye raising.
00:05:05.000 That to us made a lot more sense.
00:05:07.000 Now, folks like Senator Tom Cotton have come out very publicly and said this for quite a long time.
00:05:12.000 He was dismissed out of hand multiple times.
00:05:15.000 Rand Paul has questioned Dr. Fauci in Congress about the same thing.
00:05:22.000 Let's go to clip 39.
00:05:25.000 This is Fauci in a congressional hearing.
00:05:27.000 Basically, let's just set the table.
00:05:29.000 He's denying that any of this story that we're about to get into has any basis in fact.
00:05:34.000 Clip 39.
00:05:35.000 We have not funded gain of function research on this virus in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:05:42.000 No matter how your party say it, there was research.
00:05:46.000 Okay, so that was Rand Paul questioning about this gain of function research.
00:05:50.000 Now, what gain of function is, and some of you might have heard this in the last year, is essentially taking a virus, a SARS virus that often originates in bats and then trying to manipulate that virus.
00:06:02.000 They call it the backbone of the virus, so that it would gain function and make it actually more virulent.
00:06:09.000 And then so that humans could actually contract the virus.
00:06:16.000 Now, this was actually outlawed, and we're going to get into this.
00:06:21.000 The U.S. government was not supposed to be funding this sort of thing.
00:06:25.000 But this is what makes this whole story so interesting.
00:06:30.000 Let's play Cut 29, Tucker explaining Nicholas Wade, who he is, and how Dr. Fauci was involved in all of this.
00:06:40.000 We cannot recommend more strongly a new piece by Nicholas Wade, who for more than 50 years has been one of the preeminent science writers in the world.
00:06:49.000 And the piece explains where this virus almost certainly came from.
00:06:54.000 In it, Nicholas Wade makes it clear that more than any other single living American, Tony Fauci is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:07:05.000 Wade lays out a nearly insurmountably large amount of evidence that this virus originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in central China.
00:07:13.000 Lays out an insurmountable amount of evidence that this virus originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:07:20.000 You heard that right.
00:07:21.000 Now, Czar Fauci, who has been paraded across the mainstream news media for the last year, telling us we don't need masks.
00:07:30.000 Oh, we do need masks.
00:07:31.000 There's no threat.
00:07:32.000 Oh, well, actually, we need to lock everything down.
00:07:34.000 And now maybe by next Mother's Day, we might have a normal Mother's Day.
00:07:37.000 Maybe.
00:07:38.000 Oh, and by the way, masks, I'm not sure you heard this one.
00:07:41.000 Masks might become a seasonal norm in America. 0.96
00:07:45.000 We call them face diapers and they're dirty and they're disgusting and they're inhuman.
00:07:50.000 Nevertheless, they've become a totem of virtue on the left in this country.
00:07:57.000 So if you are not willing to wear your mask, if you're not willing to get vaccinated, you are now being stricken to the outskirts of society.
00:08:06.000 As a matter of fact, you might not be able to get onto a plane.
00:08:10.000 You might not be able to travel overseas.
00:08:14.000 All of this is coming from Czar Fauci.
00:08:16.000 Now, it turns out that there is a substantial amount of evidence that if you peel back the layers of funding far enough, that it was Fauci himself that was funneling dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Urology, and we'll cover this later, that was a bio safety level two, which many scientists have compared to about as safe as a dental lab, a dentistry.
00:08:45.000 So he's funding American taxpayer dollars overseas to our greatest geopolitical foe in Wuhan to do gain of function research, which he denied in front of Senator Rand Paul.
00:08:56.000 And God bless Senator Rand Paul for questioning him on this.
00:09:01.000 And then he has the gall to go on national television for a year and tell us what we need to do, how we need to live, and how we need to completely restructure the U.S. economy and the U.S. culture to fit within his guidelines and parameters for a crisis that he very well may have contributed to or was complicit in starting to begin with.
00:09:21.000 So let's take this one step further.
00:09:24.000 Cut 30.
00:09:25.000 This is Tucker explaining how our tax dollars were funneled. 0.94
00:09:29.000 At the time the outbreak began last fall, the Wuhan lab was conducting experiments on how to make bat viruses infectious to human beings.
00:09:37.000 Those experiments were funded by American tax dollars.
00:09:40.000 Those experiments were, their funding, approved and directed by Tony Fauci in Washington.
00:09:47.000 That's right.
00:09:47.000 Tony Fauci.
00:09:49.000 Folks, there is layers to this that we're going to get into that I promise you are more troubling than you even understand at this point.
00:09:57.000 If you follow the money, as the old adage goes, you will be as disturbed as you've ever been.
00:10:02.000 And when you think back of how your life has been turned upside down over the last year, it's going to make you as angry as we all are here in this studio.
00:10:09.000 I promise you.
00:10:12.000 Look, for many of you that watch our live stream or our radio show, listen to our radio show, you know I talk about Relief Factor a lot.
00:10:19.000 And look, truth is, I know millions of people are in some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older, that can do it.
00:10:25.000 That's why I'm so impressed with Pete and Seth Talbot.
00:10:27.000 They are on a mission.
00:10:28.000 You've rarely seen this kind of focus and commitment.
00:10:31.000 Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their number of total happy customers in the next year.
00:10:38.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:10:39.000 So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, or even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted only $19.95, about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain.
00:10:50.000 So go to relieffactor.com.
00:10:52.000 That's relieffactor.com.
00:10:53.000 The Talbots are amazing people.
00:10:55.000 Check it out.
00:10:55.000 ReliefFactor.com.
00:10:59.000 The coronavirus, which obviously has devastated the world over the last year, it's wreaking particular havoc in India right now, where there's reports I was just reading this morning of bodies floating down the river.
00:11:11.000 It's terrible.
00:11:12.000 It genuinely is terrible.
00:11:14.000 I've never been a coronavirus denier.
00:11:17.000 The virus is very real.
00:11:19.000 I actually have had it, happy to say.
00:11:22.000 I recovered quickly, but nevertheless, it's very real.
00:11:24.000 I mean, it's the question becomes: how do we want to deal with it?
00:11:29.000 What's the policy approach?
00:11:31.000 What's the prescription?
00:11:32.000 The left has gone all the way in the tank for lockdowns and triple masking.
00:11:37.000 And, you know, we've got track stars wearing masks, collapsing at the finish line.
00:11:42.000 That's in the blue states.
00:11:44.000 Meanwhile, you've got red states run by amazing governors like Ron DeSantis in Florida that have completely opened up their economy and they've proved that there's another way to do this that is less impactful.
00:11:55.000 That's all really an aside for what we're talking about right now.
00:11:57.000 We're going back to the origin story about how this even happened, where did it come from and what we're really dealing with just when it comes to how did this happen?
00:12:08.000 Did it happen naturally from animals?
00:12:12.000 Did this jump from animal and animal species to a human?
00:12:17.000 Or did the Wuhan Institute of Virology accidentally allow it to escape?
00:12:22.000 Now, it's becoming increasingly clear, and frankly, it's been obvious to a lot of us for a long time, that it probably originated in the lab.
00:12:30.000 Now, the White House has been deflecting the World Health Organization that Trump got us out of and that Biden has got us back into released a study a few months ago basically saying that this was a conspiracy theory, that there's very little evidence to link this to the lab.
00:12:49.000 You've got the White House, you've got all of the establishment folks that you would expect circling the wagons and defending their position that this did not come from the lab.
00:13:01.000 Let's go ahead and play a clip from Jen Saki.
00:13:04.000 She's deflects when asked this very same question this week, clip 40.
00:13:08.000 It's a matter of public record that Dr. Fauci and the NIH funded gain of function experimentation research at the Wuhan Lab of Virology.
00:13:18.000 And given the questions about that lab, why would Dr. Fauci in the U.S. fund that kind of experiments, that kind of research in a Chinese lab?
00:13:31.000 Fauci.
00:13:32.000 I'm happy to send you to the NIH about more specifics of what program they funded and more details of that.
00:13:38.000 All right, let's go ahead and clip play clip 39.
00:13:40.000 So she says, I want to take you back to the NIH and you can ask them.
00:13:44.000 Well, here we go.
00:13:45.000 We've got Dr. Fauci.
00:13:46.000 I played this before, but it bears repeating.
00:13:47.000 Dr. Fauci denying that the NIH had anything to do with gain of function research.
00:13:52.000 Let's go ahead and play clip 39.
00:13:54.000 We have not funded gain of function research on this virus in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:14:01.000 No matter how single word you're part of, there was research.
00:14:06.000 Oh, Dr. Fauci.
00:14:07.000 I wonder if that clip will come back to bite you.
00:14:10.000 I think it already is. 1.00
00:14:11.000 Let's see if there's any consequences for you being an utter and complete liar and a fraud. 0.99
00:14:16.000 So let's go to clip 33. 0.97
00:14:19.000 This is where Tucker Carlson last night brilliantly laid out how Fauci was directly involved in the funding at the lab, which was directly researching gain of function, especially with coronavirus vaccines.
00:14:33.000 And then there's another name that pops up here that I want to draw special attention to.
00:14:37.000 It's a guy named Peter Dasik.
00:14:39.000 Now, I mentioned this WHO report that said there wasn't ties to the Institute of Virology, that the virus didn't come from there.
00:14:47.000 Well, turns out we only, the American representatives only had one person that went over and helped conduct the study.
00:14:54.000 And he was only at the Institute of Virology for one day.
00:14:57.000 And it turns out he might have, let's just say, mixed motives in how he wants to tell the story.
00:15:03.000 Clip 33.
00:15:05.000 So once again, why would the Wuhan lab be conducting experiments like that in the first place?
00:15:11.000 Well, we know that Tony Fauci had authorized payment for the research.
00:15:15.000 For five years, from 2014 to 2019, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which Tony Fauci runs and has for decades, pumped money to a group called the EcoHealth Alliance.
00:15:25.000 The EcoHealth Alliance is run by a man whose name you may recognize, Dr. Peter Dasik.
00:15:30.000 Dazik contracted with Dr. Xi to conduct gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan lab.
00:15:36.000 Just before the pandemic became public knowledge on December 9th, 2019, Peter Dasik sat for an interview that was streamed online.
00:15:44.000 In that interview, Dasik bragged about how easy it is to manipulate coronaviruses in lab experiments.
00:15:52.000 Let's go ahead and play clip 34 of him bragging.
00:15:54.000 It's important.
00:15:55.000 It's an important clip to round out this entire story for you all.
00:15:58.000 Clip 34.
00:16:00.000 Coronavirus is a pretty good, I mean, neuroviologist, you know all this stuff, but you can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily.
00:16:07.000 Spike protein drives a lot of what happens with the coronavirus, zoonotic risk.
00:16:12.000 So you can get the sequence, you can build the protein, and we work with Ralph Barrack at UNC to do this.
00:16:18.000 Insert into backbone of another virus and do some work in the lab.
00:16:24.000 So think about this.
00:16:25.000 This is, I think, November or December of 2019.
00:16:29.000 The public became aware of this novel coronavirus in December, mid-December of 2019.
00:16:37.000 Obviously, the entire U.S. economy shut down in mid-March of 2020.
00:16:44.000 So here he is, Peter Dasick, bragging about how easy it is to conduct these gain of function experiments using coronavirus.
00:16:54.000 Now, then we have, it turns out, Joe Biden gets us back involved with the WHO after Trump, rightly, in my opinion, got us out.
00:17:05.000 Peter Dasik then becomes the only American representative that's a part of this lab leak origin story that the report that the WHO is conducting about the origin of the coronavirus.
00:17:18.000 And then he goes on, basically, and there's a bunch of his reports on Twitter that basically say, oh, this is a conspiracy theory.
00:17:27.000 There's no there there.
00:17:29.000 Meanwhile, this is what kind of brings us full circle is to Nicholas Wade, very accomplished writer, a science writer, with the New York Times, although he didn't publish this report with the New York Times, which is very telling, by the way.
00:17:41.000 I don't think the New York Times would have allowed this report to see print.
00:17:46.000 So he published it on Medium, and it's a very long, in-depth report, but it's very striking about how he goes out of his way to point the finger back at the NIH and Dr. Fauci and the Wuhan Institute of Virology and actually makes a very compelling case.
00:18:05.000 As Tucker says, insurmountable evidence comes out that actually this, of course, came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:18:13.000 But here's part of his report.
00:18:15.000 No one has found the bat population that was the source of SARS-2.
00:18:20.000 So let's take a break here real quick. 0.90
00:18:22.000 They're telling us that there is, when you look at the evidence, that this is obviously his jump from the bat population to the human population.
00:18:31.000 Well, in this report, we're hearing that nobody's actually found the bat population that has this virus or an antecedent of this virus, if indeed it ever infected bats, quote unquote.
00:18:41.000 No intermediate host has presented itself despite an intensive search by Chinese authorities that included the testing of 80,000 animals.
00:18:49.000 So think about that for a second.
00:18:50.000 They're telling you that it's a conspiracy theory that it came from a lab, and yet the scientists that are tasked with figuring out where it came from can't find a single bat with the virus.
00:19:00.000 What does that tell you, folks?
00:19:01.000 This might be the biggest cover-up of our lifetimes, and there's so much more I want to talk about with it.
00:19:08.000 In 1857, the SS Central, also known as the Gold Ship, sank with 9.1 tons of gold on board, valued at $2.1 million.
00:19:16.000 That is the modern-day equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars, the greatest American treasure ever discovered at sea.
00:19:22.000 Today, Noble Gold, a California-based company with a pristine reputation, has a share of these coins available to their clients.
00:19:28.000 Over 7,000 gold coins, mostly $1, $5, and $20, gold coins from 1840, 1857 were recovered from the SS Central America shipwreck.
00:19:37.000 Most of these coins were from the ship of gold, were quickly acquired by private collectors when the coins were first brought to the market in 2000.

00:20:09.000 Now, I want to play back a tape because, again, this bears repeating just how explosive this report is.
00:20:16.000 I'm going to play clip 34 again, and this is Peter Dosik in December of 2019 saying how easy it is to manipulate coronavirus.
00:20:24.000 And then, when you get done listening to that, I want you to hear his, and again, this is in, I think, November or early December of 2019.
00:20:32.000 So, this is before the world even knew about the novel coronavirus, the China virus, as it's affectionately known here at the show.
00:20:39.000 This is before the world even knew about it.
00:20:41.000 And this is a guy that's receiving money directly from Dr. Fauci to fund gain of function experiments at this lab in China that is apparently only as secure as a dentist's office.
00:20:55.000 Okay, so just listen to the smugness of this man, and then I'm going to play, I'm going to read a quote more current about him denying the links to the lab.
00:21:05.000 Let's play a clip.
00:21:06.000 Coronavirus is a pretty good, I mean, neurologist, you know all this stuff, but they you can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily.
00:21:13.000 Spike protein drives a lot of what happens with the coronavirus, zoonotic risk.
00:21:18.000 So, you can get the sequence, you can build the protein, and we work with Ralph Barrack at UNC to do this.
00:21:24.000 Insert into the backbone of another virus, and do some work in the lab.
00:21:30.000 Okay, so he's bragging here that it's really easy to do this research on the coronavirus.
00:21:35.000 You just put it on the backbone of the virus, you put some new proteins on it that attach to human cells, and you know, there you go.
00:21:43.000 Got a pandemic on your hands, no big deal.
00:21:46.000 So, Dasik has said, again, this is our American representative that went over as part of the WHO report that said, oh, this is all conspiracy theory.
00:21:55.000 Okay, so this guy has a financial interest in this lab, brags about it before this became like an international pandemic.
00:22:02.000 That's so easy.
00:22:04.000 And then we send him over there to do the research to tell us if this, you know, Institute leak theory has any merit.
00:22:13.000 Okay, well, guess what he came up with?
00:22:15.000 I don't think this is too surprising for you.
00:22:17.000 You're pretty smart out there.
00:22:19.000 Dasick, well, first, the idea that this virus escaped from the lab is just pure baloney.
00:22:26.000 Simply not true.
00:22:27.000 I've been working with that lab for 15 years, and the samples collected were collected by me.
00:22:32.000 Oh, okay.
00:22:34.000 So you got your own samples to prove your own theory.
00:22:36.000 I see what happened here.
00:22:37.000 And others in collaboration with our Chinese colleagues.
00:22:39.000 Oh, interesting.
00:22:41.000 Chinese connection.
00:22:43.000 They are some of the best scientists in the world.
00:22:45.000 I bet they paid you a lot of money to say that.
00:22:48.000 There is no viral isolate in the lab.
00:22:50.000 There was no cultured virus that is anything related to SARS-CoV-2.
00:22:55.000 So it's just not possible.
00:22:56.000 And might you say it's really a politicization of the origins of the pandemic?
00:23:00.000 And it is really unfortunate.
00:23:01.000 The stories, as President Trump said, he has been hearing, have been around since day one of the outbreak.
00:23:07.000 And they're around in every outbreak, every single outbreak of a novel virus.
00:23:12.000 Somebody somewhere says, well, this has been manufactured in a lab.
00:23:17.000 Oh, Peter Dasik.
00:23:18.000 Oh, Tony Fauci.
00:23:21.000 You got egg on your face here, unfortunately, on this one.
00:23:24.000 Now, What I find very interesting is the Chinese connection where he's sort of going out shilling for the Chinese when he's supposed to be our American representative. 0.96
00:23:38.000 It's just disgusting, to be honest. 0.72
00:23:39.000 And we hear all these stories about professors at higher education that are getting paid behind the scenes by the CCP and their thousand talents program to get research and information back to the Chinese mainland. 0.78
00:23:53.000 Well, here's an instance, folks, of it being right under our noses and actually being part of our, you know, our federally funded budget.
00:24:05.000 Now, I want to play a clip here.
00:24:06.000 It's supposed to be illegal. 0.95
00:24:09.000 Let's play clip 37.
00:24:12.000 So why didn't the U.S. government halt its funding of the lab in Wuhan?
00:24:18.000 That is a central question.
00:24:19.000 And Nicholas Wade, to his great credit, looked into it.
00:24:22.000 And here's what he found: quote, someone wrote a loophole into the moratorium.
00:24:26.000 The moratorium specifically barred funding of any gain of function research that increased the pathogenicity of the flu, MERS, or SARS viruses.
00:24:37.000 But then a footnote on page two of the moratorium document states that, quote, an exception from the research pause may be obtained if the head of the U.S. government funding agency determines that the research is urgently necessary.
00:24:49.000 All right, so if it's urgently necessary, we can make an exception and fund some gain of function research.
00:24:57.000 It doesn't matter what your politics are or who you voted for.
00:24:59.000 Everyone should have the right to express themselves freely.
00:25:02.000 Sadly, the big tech monopoly has instead opted for censorship to fight back against big tech's control of the internet.
00:25:08.000 I use ExpressVPN.
00:25:10.000 Free-to-access tech giants make all of their money by tracking your searchers' video history and everything you click on, then selling off your sensitive data.
00:25:16.000 When you use the ExpressVPN app on your computer or phone, you anonymize much of your online presence by hiding your IP address.
00:25:23.000 That makes your activity much more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers.
00:25:27.000 What's more, ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your network's data to protect you from cyber criminals.
00:25:32.000 And it just takes one click to protect all your devices.
00:25:34.000 That's why ExpressVPN, that's right, ExpressVPN is rated number one by CNET and wired.
00:25:40.000 Revoke big tech's right to your data.

00:26:00.000 So we're talking about this Wuhan Institute of Virology leak story. 0.74
00:26:08.000 And what we've really come to is the fact that the WHO, which we had long suspected was completely overrun and manipulated by the Chinese, the WHO issued an investigation. 0.68
00:26:23.000 They commissioned it, and then they issued a report basically saying that this was a bunch of baloney. 0.95
00:26:27.000 Peter Dasik was front and center.
00:26:30.000 And what we've realized is that that research, that report, is a total fraud.
00:26:36.000 It's a hoax.
00:26:37.000 So we've got a virus that originates from China, infects millions of people all over the world, kills millions of people all over the world, is still ravaging many parts of the world, including India.
00:26:51.000 We have a report that comes back and says that didn't come from a lab.
00:26:56.000 But then we find out later that the guy that was partially in charge of issuing that report had a financial interest in the lab itself.
00:27:04.000 And then we've got him on tape in December, early December, bragging about how easy it is to do gain of function experimentation on coronavirus.
00:27:14.000 And that apparently is just a conspiracy theory.
00:27:18.000 How on earth did U.S. tax dollars make it into such a dangerous investigation?
00:27:27.000 This experimentation on how you increase the pathogeneity of a virus because viruses tend to escape, especially in this case where you have a respiratory disease.
00:27:41.000 And we were playing that clip, but here's what they found.
00:27:43.000 I'll just read it out loud this time.
00:27:47.000 Someone wrote a loophole into the moratorium.
00:27:49.000 The moratorium specifically barred funding of any gain of function research that increased the pathogenicity of the flu, MARES, or SARS viruses.
00:27:58.000 But then a footnote on page two of the moratorium document, it states that an exception from the research pause may be obtained if the head of the U.S. government funding agency determines that the research is urgently necessary to protect the public health or national security.
00:28:17.000 And that's exactly what happened.
00:28:18.000 Tony Fauci, along with Francis Collins, the director of the NIH, not to be confused with the NIAID, which is Director Fauci, they exploited that loophole.
00:28:29.000 So they signed off on what appears to be research that led to the deaths of millions of people all around the globe.
00:28:40.000 And so meanwhile, as we've been talking about, should Dr. Fauci be fired?
00:28:44.000 Should Dr. Fauci be paraded around television?
00:28:48.000 Of course not.
00:28:49.000 And yes, he should be fired.
00:28:51.000 The question is, why isn't even more on the table?
00:28:54.000 It's becoming increasingly clear that Dr. Fauci is directly complicit in the death of millions of people.
00:28:59.000 And that's not overstating the matter.
00:29:01.000 That's exactly what we're dealing with.
00:29:03.000 This report is so explosive and so shocking that we should all be infuriated.
00:29:10.000 This was a preventable illness, allegedly.
00:29:14.000 I'll still hedge a little bit for our Media Matters friends.
00:29:17.000 This is a preventable tragedy that has enveloped the world for the last year.
00:29:22.000 And it looks like our own government is complicit in funding the very research that did it.
00:29:27.000 And now they are complicit in the cover-up.
00:29:29.000 That's what's even perhaps even more striking.
00:29:34.000 So, and not only are they covering it up, we're still parading this man around like he knows anything.
00:29:43.000 Now, it begs to a larger point that we've seen since this pandemic has been upon us.
00:29:51.000 And that really is the politicization of the institutes that are supposed to keep us protected.
00:29:58.000 You know, the Marxists talked about the long march through the institutions.
00:30:03.000 And I think many of us assumed that meant Hollywood, that meant our universities, that obviously meant our politics.
00:30:11.000 But I don't think a lot of us were thinking that this was going to have anything to do with the health establishment, our doctors, our nurses, the NIH, the NIAID.
00:30:25.000 Dr. Fauci.
00:30:26.000 I remember when he first came on the air, I didn't have bad feelings about him, but I didn't predict this web of lies and this chain of money to be so far-reaching and to be so insidious.
00:30:42.000 But we have another report that sadly reveals just what a lie our medical establishment has become.
00:30:51.000 What a fraud.
00:30:54.000 So this is from the New York Times.
00:30:56.000 Pretty amazing that they're actually doing some good reporting here, but hat tip when a hat tip's due.
00:31:02.000 Headline, a misleading CDC number.
00:31:06.000 So we shouldn't be surprised.
00:31:08.000 The CDC has been politicized.
00:31:10.000 We've seen recent reports of how the CDC has been colluding with teachers' unions that want to extract more of your tax dollars so that they get more research to pay their teachers more and to do more fun projects, I guess, and put up more plexiglass between our children and put them in cages.
00:31:27.000 The CDC, by the way, if you're not familiar with that story, they borrowed language directly from, and this is all tracked on email.
00:31:34.000 The American Federation of Teachers, I believe, sent an email to the CDC, and the CDC borrowed that language, copied and pasted it basically into the new guidelines.
00:31:44.000 So we know this is happening.
00:31:46.000 And obviously, of course, these teachers' unions are massive funders of the Democrat Party.
00:31:51.000 Follow the money on this leak story.
00:31:53.000 We understand that the federal government is a massive funder of this research that Peter Dosick was involved in.
00:32:01.000 And now the CDC, it comes out, is basically wrong again, and we shouldn't be surprised.
00:32:07.000 So this is a story that centers around how infectious is the disease outside.
00:32:14.000 So when we're outside, you know, a lot of us have realized this anecdotally a long time ago.
00:32:18.000 We go outside, you know, the wind blows it away.
00:32:20.000 We go to the beach.
00:32:21.000 Sunlight is a great disinfectant.
00:32:23.000 It's not just an expression.
00:32:24.000 It's actually true when it comes to this virus.
00:32:28.000 So what they basically originally said is that early on, they said that 10% of COVID transmissions occur outdoors.
00:32:38.000 Well, the truth is coming out.
00:32:40.000 Dr. Muj Sevik, a virologist at the University of St. Andrews, said, in truth, the share of transmissions that has occurred outdoors seems to be below 1%, and it may even be below 0.1%.
00:32:51.000 And I love this part of the story.
00:32:53.000 He says, saying that less than 10% of COVID transmissions occur outdoors is akin to saying that sharks attack fewer than 20,000 swimmers a year.
00:33:03.000 The actual worldwide number is around 150.
00:33:06.000 So I could say, hey, less than 1 million people got infected with COVID outside.
00:33:12.000 If the real number is 150 or even 1,000, that's a ridiculous thing to say.
00:33:18.000 And yet that's how the CDC was presenting it.
00:33:23.000 So there's not a single documented COVID infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interactions, such as walking past someone on the street or eating at a nearby table.
00:33:36.000 So let me read that again.
00:33:40.000 There is not a single documented COVID infection.
00:33:42.000 This is from the New York Times.
00:33:44.000 Not a single documented COVID infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interactions such as walking past someone on the street or eating at a nearby table.
00:33:56.000 Folks, I want you to think back to your life over this last year.
00:34:01.000 I want you to think back of all, and I'm very proud to say I call it COVID porn.
00:34:07.000 When I think about CNN and their rising numbers on the side of the screen, even Fox News, how many people are infected?
00:34:14.000 How many have died?
00:34:15.000 I want you to think about when you got a package maybe from Grubhub or Amazon.
00:34:19.000 You know, you should be shopping local, but that's a whole other story.
00:34:22.000 And you were wiping down the boxes.
00:34:25.000 Well, now we found out that's a total farce.
00:34:28.000 And now we're finding out that less than it's below 0.1% of all transmissions probably happened outdoors.
00:34:35.000 In fact, there's not a single documented COVID infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interactions.
00:34:43.000 And now I want you to think to this COVID origin story and the people who have been behind the scenes pulling the strings on the American public, denying that it had anything to do with the Wuhan Institute of Orology, denying that our own federal government had anything to do with it.
00:34:59.000 There was no funding source.
00:35:00.000 And by the way, God bless, I said it earlier, God bless Rand Paul for grilling the heck out of Dr. Fauci, who's a total fraud.
00:35:08.000 Not only should he be fired, he should be investigated for possible criminal negligent behavior here.
00:35:15.000 I think there's a very good case that he misstated the quote-unquote urgency that allowed that loophole to be exploited in the first place, which allowed the funding of this Wuhan Institute of Virology in the first place and has led to all of this terror and chaos and tragedy.
00:35:34.000 These people are frauds and they have been gaslighting the American public from day one on where it came from, how it got here, how dangerous it was.
00:35:45.000 And now they're doing the exact opposite, where they want us to all walk around perpetually in masks, never to go back to normal, to wear masks seasonally. 0.62
00:35:55.000 Maybe Mother's Day next year will be okay.
00:35:58.000 All of the above.
00:35:59.000 And simple things like going out to restaurants.
00:36:01.000 And now, you know, we couldn't do that.
00:36:03.000 In California, where I live, yeah, we have outdoor dining, and thankfully we have a pleasant climate to enjoy that experience now.
00:36:12.000 But indoor dining was closed for much of the last 12 months.
00:36:16.000 There's, well, all of this stems from a big lie.
00:36:21.000 We talk about the big lie.
00:36:22.000 The Democrats want you to think that our questioning election integrity is the big lie and that Trump's been pushing the big lie in all of this, right?
00:36:32.000 Well, the big lie, it turns out, was COVID.
00:36:36.000 The big lie was how it got here.
00:36:38.000 The big lie was who was involved in creating it.
00:36:40.000 And everything that happened after that.
00:36:43.000 All the rules that were changed from the election, the shutting down of our economy, the COVID porn, our kids not going back to school.
00:36:52.000 I want to say all of this in one place because the story couldn't be any bigger.
00:36:57.000 And I think we are inundated with news.
00:36:59.000 We're inundated with stimulants.
00:37:02.000 We're inundated with marketing and we're inundated with everybody being so worked up about all of these things.
00:37:09.000 Well, if there's one thing that you should be worked up about, it's this.
00:37:13.000 It's the fact that this whole thing was probably preventable.
00:37:18.000 That millions of people are dead because of a very preventable research experiment run amok.
00:37:25.000 And they're covering it up and they're denying it.
00:37:28.000 So, folks, what does that say?
00:37:33.000 It says that everything's been politicized, even our healthcare establishment, and that there needs to be serious consequences for the people that perpetrated it.
00:37:42.000 And will there be?
00:37:43.000 Of course not.
00:37:44.000 Because the cover-up will continue and our media shills will continue covering it up.
00:37:51.000 God bless this man, Nicholas Wade, for his extensive report.
00:37:55.000 I recommend everybody go read it, go check it out.
00:37:58.000 Nicholas Wade on Medium, Origin of COVID, following the clues.
00:38:02.000 It's an utter disaster and it's embarrassing.
00:38:07.000 Let's go to clip 45, Michelle Obama on CBS and how scared she is when her daughter's out in public.
00:38:13.000 Okay, let's go to clip 45.
00:38:15.000 Many of us still live in fear as we go to the grocery store or worry about walking our dogs or allowing our children to get a license.
00:38:24.000 I mean, just imagine.
00:38:26.000 You know, you have a circuit driving.
00:38:28.000 They're driving.
00:38:29.000 But every time they get in a car by themselves, I worry about what assumption is being made by somebody who doesn't know everything about them.
00:38:37.000 The fact that they are good students and polite girls, but maybe they're playing their music a little loud.
00:38:43.000 Maybe somebody sees the back of their head and makes an assumption.
00:38:47.000 I, like so many parents of black kids, have to, that the whole, that the innocent act of getting a license puts fear in our hearts.
00:38:58.000 Okay, Michelle.
00:38:59.000 Thank you for that.
00:39:00.000 Let's go to Candace Owens, good friend of the show, good friend of Turning Point USA.
00:39:04.000 Clip 46.
00:39:05.000 So if Michelle and Barack Obama are oppressed, if they live in fear, if this country's so bad that even the Obama's elected president twice can't live here, what is, I mean, is there a future?
00:39:15.000 Should we leave?
00:39:16.000 I don't know, Tucker.
00:39:17.000 I think we have to launch an investigation because I want to know which nanny, which chef, which housekeeper, which chauffeur, which Secret Service agent, which gardener, which landscaper is oppressing Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, and their children.
00:39:30.000 I think we've got to get to the bottom of it at this point.
00:39:32.000 I mean, I looked and it looks like her net worth is about $40, $70 million.
00:39:36.000 Gail Kings is $40 million.
00:39:38.000 Barack Obama and her combined is $135 million.
00:39:41.000 Let me tell you something. 0.71
00:39:42.000 If that's oppression, where can I get me some? 0.85
00:39:45.000 The back of people can look at the back of their head.
00:39:47.000 You mean the Secret Service agents that are constantly around your children?
00:39:50.000 They probably haven't even touched their own door handles in years.
00:39:53.000 And we're supposed to believe that you're oppressed while the rest of the country is actually suffering.
00:39:56.000 Oh, Candace.
00:39:57.000 You got to love Candace.
00:39:58.000 She doesn't hold anything back.
00:40:00.000 And that's, yeah, if that's oppression, where can I get me some?
00:40:04.000 Yeah, anyway, so it's amazing.
00:40:05.000 So let me just tell you this.
00:40:07.000 The five largest ethnic groups in Edgertown, Massachusetts, where they live, the Obamas live, are white, non-Hispanic, 92.7%, black or African-American, non-Hispanic, 4.74%, and Hispanic or other, rather, is 2.13%.
00:40:24.000 So they live in literally one of the most racially homogenous places in the world, in America.
00:40:34.000 Let me take that back.
00:40:36.000 And they have the gall to tell us how systemically racist we all are, even though we elected them as a country, you know, her husband to president twice.
00:40:46.000 Now, I'm getting notifications here, and I would be remiss if I didn't.
00:40:51.000 Just, you know, our prayers go out to everybody in Israel.
00:40:54.000 I'm getting notifications that there's an unprecedented rocket attack on central Israel in Tel Aviv, which has started.
00:41:02.000 I don't have any more details than that.
00:41:04.000 Obviously, we know that there's been a lot of violence that's erupted in the area in recent days, but it now seems that the rocket attacks that had started earlier in the week and escalated a lot yesterday with reports of over 100 rockets being fired out of Gaza has now expanded.
00:41:24.000 I'm seeing a map here, just a quick visual.
00:41:27.000 I mean, this is hundreds of rockets.
00:41:29.000 I mean, the entirety of the central area of, you know, Tel Aviv is sort of on the coast and central.
00:41:36.000 I mean, the entire seaboard is just lit up in red with little dots that mark where rockets have fallen.
00:41:44.000 So, anyways, it looks as though the escalation of violence is real.
00:41:49.000 And, you know, hopefully that the Iron Dome of Israel has succeeded in destroying most of these rockets before they could hurt people and hit the ground.
00:41:58.000 But the officials there say that the Iron Dome is only about 90% effective.
00:42:04.000 So if I'm looking at a map with 100, 200, 300 missile rockets being launched at Israel, we have to assume that 20 or 30 of those have unfortunately hit the ground and probably going to take life or cause other damage.
00:42:19.000 So again, our prayers are with the people of Israel.
00:42:23.000 It's a complicated situation.
00:42:25.000 Obviously, as we talked about with Knowles earlier, it seems like the Palestinians are using the changing dynamics, partly in Washington, to leverage this.
00:42:34.000 So, all right, everybody, thank you for tuning in.
00:42:37.000 I hope you learned a lot that episode.
00:42:38.000 I learned a tremendous amount studying for it.
00:42:41.000 And guys, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
