1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,720
thank you all for joining us today you

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,160
know there has been a lot

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,440
said about big tech censorship

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,559
of what transpired around the origins of

5
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:14,240
the covet 19 virus and where this

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,720
came from how it moved to a pandemic

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,800
and then there's also questions about

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,760
what the american people were told

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,279
and the timeliness or lack thereof

10
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:30,160
of what they were being told we know

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:30,480
that

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,760
facebook recently reversed their

13
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,040
decision

14
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,600
on taking down any kind of information

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,920
that said it came from the lab in wuhan

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,559
that

17
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:46,719
beijing should be held to account

18
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:47,680
youtube

19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,520
had previously announced that it would

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,879
censor any content that contradicted

21
00:00:54,879 --> 00:00:58,719
the beijing run and china-funded world

22
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:01,840
health organization youtube

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,959
even took down a video

24
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,159
from some medical doctors

25
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:11,439
who were questioning the value

26
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:13,600
of these lock downs and we're

27
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,560
questioning

28
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,520
what it does to the population and

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,320
especially what it does to our children

30
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,439
twitter they locked down

31
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:27,439
the account of a virologist a chinese

32
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:28,720
virologist

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,880
who was saying this is what they're

34
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,960
doing gain a function research

35
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:35,600
this is what they're doing in the wuhan

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,600
institute of virology

37
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,560
holding the chinese communist party to

38
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,680
account

39
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,200
i i will tell you this big tech has

40
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,119
really stepped over they have stepped

41
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:50,399
over the line

42
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:54,799
on this one we all have suggestions

43
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:56,719
of how we as a senate should move

44
00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:58,240
forward and

45
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,439
things that we should do to make certain

46
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:04,560
this never happens to the american

47
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,680
people

48
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,318
senator braun thank you now tell you

49
00:02:08,318 --> 00:02:09,840
where we need to start

50
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,319
you had a unique thing happen i think of

51
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:13,840
just last week

52
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,120
where by unanimous consent that hardly

53
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,200
ever happens on a critical issue unless

54
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,120
you're maybe renaming a post office or

55
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,239
something

56
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:24,400
we got it through the senate to ask our

57
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,640
own intelligence agencies

58
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,680
to release the information that we house

59
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,599
and for as much havoc as this is created

60
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:36,000
not only for our own country across the

61
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,959
world

62
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:39,120
why we wouldn't start there with

63
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,480
president biden

64
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,599
spoke to secretary blinken asked him he

65
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:44,160
said

66
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,800
had no good reason why you would not

67
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,640
release that information we need to

68
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,000
start there to get to the bottom

69
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,720
of it and when you talk about big tech

70
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,599
being mom

71
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:56,160
on the subject basically when you've got

72
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,519
every u s senator

73
00:02:57,519 --> 00:02:59,519
that wants to at least start there we

74
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:01,200
need to have accountability

75
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,560
and i think it's for them to step up and

76
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,840
lead the charge they are the place

77
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,800
that people look to listen to where are

78
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,519
they at

79
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:14,560
and we need to start there let's hold

80
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,720
our own intelligence agencies

81
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,599
accountable

82
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:20,879
release that information declassify it

83
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:24,319
senator marshall okay well senator

84
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:25,920
blackburn thank you so much for giving

85
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:26,319
us

86
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:28,560
a chance to sit here and talk about the

87
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,400
the wuhan lab leak

88
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,640
uh and the cover-up thereof you know

89
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:34,400
what we affectionately refer to it as

90
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,040
bat gate you know it occurred to me as i

91
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,239
was sitting there reading dr

92
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:40,560
fauci's emails recently that everything

93
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,280
i learned in 10th grade science

94
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,440
everything i learned as a doctor about

95
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,280
the scientific method about

96
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,560
hypothesis and and developing theories

97
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,760
that we just threw that all out the door

98
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,680
you know i was shocked as i went back

99
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,200
and reviewed some of the letters that

100
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,799
were written but really what what

101
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:01,200
rose my suspicion was somewhere back in

102
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,519
january of 2020

103
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:05,760
and the chinese were saying that there

104
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,159
was no person-to-person transmission the

105
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:11,200
wto agreed and the cdc didn't stand up

106
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:11,920
to him

107
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,680
and that led for me to have a phone call

108
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,360
with the cdc

109
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,880
and all the national journalists were

110
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,798
reporting that the united states

111
00:04:18,798 --> 00:04:21,199
scientists were investigating this new

112
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:22,639
novel virus

113
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:24,560
and when i talked to the cdc they said

114
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,240
well we've got scientists in

115
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,080
in beijing but they're thousands of

116
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,080
miles from muon so we really don't have

117
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,919
anything to tell you

118
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:33,440
and then the next thing i see is this a

119
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,440
letter signed by a group of scientists

120
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,759
who have ignored even the possibility

121
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:39,600
that this virus could have risen from

122
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,040
the laboratory

123
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,120
they they totally ignored it uh they

124
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,680
threw out this the scientific hypothesis

125
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,600
that this was even feasible

126
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,000
and our and didn't come to find out most

127
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,520
of those scientists if not

128
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,759
all of them were receiving some type of

129
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:55,759
funding then and in the future from the

130
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:56,720
nih

131
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,880
and our cdc sat there and nodded their

132
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,800
head in agreement

133
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,600
and then national journalists big tech

134
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,639
companies

135
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:06,639
that they work together to suppress this

136
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:08,639
story they work together

137
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:10,479
to to censor those of us who thought

138
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:11,840
that there that this virus

139
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:14,560
may have originated there and not only

140
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,320
did they suppress they actually shamed

141
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,600
people who thought that this

142
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,639
might have came from a laboratory and

143
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:22,080
then finally we see in dr

144
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,280
fauci's a collusion working with dr

145
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:27,280
fauci big tech working together

146
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,479
to suppress this story you know here we

147
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:32,720
are we're 17 months later we still don't

148
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,039
know

149
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:36,720
anything much more about this virus

150
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,479
you know i think that we have to hold

151
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:39,759
the ccp

152
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:42,880
uh accountable and if if the united

153
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,880
states is in any way accountable if they

154
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,080
helped fund

155
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,400
laboratories that led to the development

156
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,840
of this virus

157
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:51,680
then we need to be held accountable as

158
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,759
well and we need a deep dive into what

159
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:55,759
viral gain of research rules

160
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:58,800
uh look like going forward as well

161
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,000
you know we're never going to get to the

162
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,919
bond with this unless we stop this

163
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:04,000
cover-up of the wuhan lab leak

164
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,919
until we stop bat gate thanks marsha

165
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:12,240
senator johnson go ahead well

166
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,199
johnson okay

167
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,680
i want to point out that the evidence

168
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,120
about a potential

169
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,800
lab league theory has been hiding in

170
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,520
plain sight for months

171
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,520
you know the fact that our federal

172
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,199
agencies under the direction of

173
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:29,759
anthony fauci funded this type of

174
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:31,440
research for years

175
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,160
has been laying out their hidden in

176
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,120
plain sight for months

177
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,880
shame on the media shame the social

178
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,400
media for not

179
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,240
paying attention to it for completely

180
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,680
ignoring it

181
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,800
the the result of this 18 month gap

182
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,880
of fully exploring the the true origin

183
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,840
of the

184
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:51,840
covert virus probably means we'll never

185
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,240
get to the bottom of it china's had 18

186
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,840
months to destroy this evidence

187
00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:59,680
but make no doubt about it china is

188
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,039
guilty

189
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:04,400
they are culpable they knew they had

190
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,000
a coronavirus they knew they had a

191
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,680
deadly pandemic type virus in wuhan

192
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,080
they didn't allow flights out of wuhan

193
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,759
to the rest of china

194
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,880
but they left let that virus infect the

195
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,880
entire world

196
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,560
so we already know china's guilty we

197
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,960
already know they had to be held account

198
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,000
to account i think we also need to

199
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,919
hold the news meeting the social media

200
00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:29,120
accountable as well

201
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,840
this isn't the only area suppression i i

202
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:32,319
could

203
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,599
list a long list

204
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:40,240
of false narratives false stories

205
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,360
that the drive-by media promotes and

206
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,080
then never

207
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,120
really adequately retracts

208
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,879
but when it comes to covid i have

209
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:50,479
personal experience

210
00:07:50,479 --> 00:07:52,240
with censorship and suppression that i

211
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,759
believe has cost

212
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:55,199
tens of thousands of americans their

213
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:57,039
lives

214
00:07:57,039 --> 00:07:59,360
the nih guidelines as it relates to

215
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,520
treatment of covid remains

216
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,720
a compassionless guideline just

217
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,080
to basically do nothing go home isolate

218
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:08,560
yourself

219
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,199
be afraid and if you just happen to get

220
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:12,560
sick enough where you have to check

221
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,240
yourself in the hospital

222
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,759
check yourself in the hospital maybe we

223
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:17,919
can save your life

224
00:08:17,919 --> 00:08:20,240
i held two hearings on early treatment

225
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,199
dr peter mcculloch laid out the four

226
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:25,680
pillars of pandemic response the first

227
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,360
one is try and stop the spread well

228
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,319
china is guilty

229
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:31,360
not doing that the second pillar is

230
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,799
early treatment

231
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:34,880
basically how we apply medicine to every

232
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,479
other condition early detection

233
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:39,200
early treatment then in hospital

234
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,200
treatment and finally vaccine

235
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,279
why did our health agencies why did

236
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:44,959
anthony fauci why did the mainstream

237
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:46,080
media suppress

238
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,680
and censor doctors had the courage and

239
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:50,880
compassion to treat

240
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,519
patients early with cheap generic

241
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:56,080
repurposed drugs why did that happen

242
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,920
there is growing evidence it's not being

243
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,839
reported on by the media

244
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,680
mexico is having great success with

245
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,040
ivermectin certain

246
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,720
provinces in india are having great

247
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,720
success cyber mechanic where's reporting

248
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,600
on that

249
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,519
we've seen studies where fifty to

250
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:12,800
eighty-five percent of lives could have

251
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,600
been saved it

252
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,560
prevents that much death apply that

253
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:18,160
percentage to the six hundred thousand

254
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,399
americans that lost their lives

255
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:21,839
which is why i believe the news media

256
00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:24,000
will never admit their complicity and

257
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,279
why they will never admit they were

258
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:26,800
wrong here

259
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,480
but it's not too late lives can be saved

260
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,600
we're still going to need early

261
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,120
treatment no matter how effective the

262
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,839
vaccine is no matter how effective

263
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:38,320
immunity from having been infected is

264
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,920
other people will get infected other

265
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,120
people are going to need early treatment

266
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,320
so i am begging

267
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880
by employing the media pay attention to

268
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,240
people like dr

269
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,959
corey dr peter mcculloch the other

270
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:50,000
doctors have the courage

271
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,080
and compassion to treat patients it's

272
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,600
not too late we need to start

273
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,519
and really robustly explore early

274
00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:57,120
treatment now

275
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,160
and finally senator wicker who joins me

276
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,320
in holding big tech accountable and

277
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,880
dealing with

278
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,440
thank you senator blackburn and others

279
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,560
the the last quarter of a century has

280
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:16,240
seen enormous growth

281
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,040
in the internet and uh much of it's been

282
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:19,680
positive

283
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,959
as we all know but the result

284
00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:26,160
of uh this quarter century has been that

285
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,880
it has allowed a handful

286
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,480
of internet big tech

287
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,600
platforms to grow enormously large

288
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,920
enormously rich and enormously

289
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,360
powerful to the point where

290
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,640
they decide what is the news they decide

291
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,200
what information the public is going to

292
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,880
get what information is going to be

293
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,079
blocked

294
00:10:50,079 --> 00:10:54,640
and uh and it's not just the wuhan virus

295
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,920
which is an outrage as as my colleagues

296
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,120
have just

297
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,959
described we we could cite chapter and

298
00:11:02,959 --> 00:11:04,160
verse

299
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,640
uh time and time and time again about

300
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,279
these big

301
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:10,320
platforms deciding what we will hear and

302
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,360
what we can't hear

303
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,959
so let me just let me just help out by

304
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:15,440
saying

305
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,440
senator johnson is right and i will cite

306
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,560
a few examples

307
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:20,480
google threatened to cut off several

308
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,560
conservative websites

309
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:25,360
including the federalists how do they

310
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,880
have the power to do that

311
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,040
how can they justify doing that

312
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,079
companies

313
00:11:30,079 --> 00:11:32,480
restrict or terminate conservative users

314
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,760
accounts

315
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,880
and content on social media facebook

316
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,040
announces suspending

317
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,120
the account of a former president of the

318
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,160
united states

319
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,399
that is too much power for them to

320
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:45,200
decide

321
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,399
who can and who cannot make news and be

322
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:51,120
quoted twitter removed twitter moved to

323
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,480
censor

324
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,839
any coronavirus coverage that they

325
00:11:55,839 --> 00:11:56,720
thought

326
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,920
in their judgment might cause widespread

327
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,600
panic how does a multi-rich

328
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,160
powerful internet platform get to make

329
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,200
that decision

330
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,240
and i could go on and on and on that's

331
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,920
why i've joined

332
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,600
with senators like senator blackburn in

333
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,000
in trying to correct the two third the

334
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:18,800
section

335
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,920
230 gaps but also why i'm

336
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,200
introducing legislation

337
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,240
to to make it clear

338
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,120
that these large internet tech platforms

339
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,639
cannot discriminate

340
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:35,040
based on their own opinions and based on

341
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:35,920
what they think

342
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,320
the public should and should not be

343
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,279
allowed to hear

344
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:43,440
this is a serious grave threat

345
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,240
to freedom and the open exchange of

346
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,000
ideas under our constitution

347
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,680
and i'm glad to stand with these members

348
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:52,399
on this task

349
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:55,040
thank you all as you can see it this is

350
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:55,839
something that

351
00:12:55,839 --> 00:12:58,399
is going to span several committees here

352
00:12:58,399 --> 00:12:59,120
in the u.s

353
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,760
senate it is our job to get to the

354
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,240
bottom

355
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,480
of what happened and then to bring

356
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,079
forward remedies

357
00:13:06,079 --> 00:13:08,639
like senator wicker has just laid out

358
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:09,360
got a question

359
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,600
thank you so the eu and g7 has called

360
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,920
for an investigation into

361
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,600
whether or not this was a full public

362
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,959
lead i'm wondering do you think an

363
00:13:16,959 --> 00:13:18,720
international approach is the best way

364
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,120
to investigate this going forward

365
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,959
i think the standing committees of the

366
00:13:22,959 --> 00:13:25,200
u.s senate should take the lead

367
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,160
we are pleased that our allies are also

368
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:28,959
joining us

369
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:31,760
and saying this needs to be investigated

370
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,040
it is obvious

371
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,639
that something was not right it is of

372
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:38,480
concern that the who

373
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,440
decided that they were going to let the

374
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,199
communist chinese

375
00:13:43,199 --> 00:13:45,040
tell them when and how they could

376
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,720
approach this lab

377
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,880
and that we had to wait for months and

378
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,000
then also

379
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,680
i saw your release yesterday about

380
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:53,519
firing dr fauci

381
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:54,800
can you just talk a little bit about

382
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,959
that sure i think that

383
00:13:56,959 --> 00:13:59,360
it is appropriate that dr fauci step

384
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,320
