dollars were funding gain-of-function research at the wuhan lab. senator rand paul that the charge on the idea that the coronavirus came from the wuhan lab and has since tweeted "i told you so doesn't even begin to cover it here." senator paul had this to say tonight on fox news prime time. >> they still to this day are trying to get around the truth. they say it was unexpected that it gained function. how do you know if it's unexpected or not? it is unknown. when it gained function that is something that actually is expected is expected. >> senator paul questioned dr. fauci about u.s. dollars playing for gain-of-function research at the wuhan lab in may and again in july. >> knowing that it is a crime to lie to congress, do you wish to retract your statement of may 11th where you claimed the nih never funded gain-of-function research in wuhan? >> i have never lied before the congress and i do not retract that statement. >> top scientists including dr. fauci and his boss, nih director francis collins says they cannot rule out the theory that it was

researchers from wuhan and officially identified the virus. it is a 96.2% match with sars—cov—2 and closer relatives have been found in bat caves in neighbouring caves in the past few weeks. this is significant because both are the closest known relatives of sars—cov—2 and either, or both, could have changed enough over the past few decades to be able tojump into humans, probably through an intermediate animal. scientists have pointed to a few prime suspects, including pangolins, mink and raccoon dogs. understanding genetically very similar viruses can help scientists come up with a timeline for when and possibly where sars—cov—2 may have spilled over from animals. there is also the fact this has happened a number of times before, most notably with the stars outbreak in china in 2003, and middle east respiratory syndrome whichjumped into camels and then humans in saudi arabia. we have seen similar events spill over events, but there also molecular evidence from information studies that at least three of the four seasonal coronaviru

i can't rule out the possibility that secretly the wuhan institute got the virus and were studying it. i have no evidence to support that. laura: no evidence, there is certainly circumstantial evidence, the chances of this not being a lab leak are infinitesimal at this point. according to the wall street journal piece that came out today. >> it would have been april of last year on sunday's show, pretty likely this is what took place. we knew less than we know today, we know more than the likelihood this came from a lab is increasingly clear. the chance that this was a couple penguins seems very remote. a bunch of folks who were around this who covered this up and knew the work that had been done in the wuhan institute of virology, european scientists as well, this lab is still operational, no evidence they have stopped doing what they have been doing in this land. the failure of their capacity to protect the world from a virus being worked on in his laboratory still exists today. the risk that this could happen again is very real. we need to make sure no dollars from the united state

so we're still funding the lab this wuhan. i introduced an amendment a month and a halfal and it passed unanimously to stop all funding to the wuhan lab, but it has not gone through the house. money still flows to wuhan, but even worse here's the judgment of dr. fauci. he continue toss say, when asked, should we be funding this research. yes, that's where the viruses are, we should be funding research in china. but with he fails to address the question of whether or not the chinese communist party, the generals' involvement in the lab, whether they're to be trusted, and he fails to acknowledge this could have come from the lab, and he continues to lie about the idea of whether gain of function research was going on. and his one pushback is, he says, well, the viruses we see could not molecularly be covid. no one's alleging that. so he's saying something, he's pushing back with a strawman argument because we're not alleging that. if the virus kale. came to the lab, guess what? the chinese never told us about the sequencing of t

we gave them money to another entity that gave the money to the wuhan lab. but the grant writing process is so detailed, so wildly cumbersome that it is impossible for the nhs -- it's like forensic accounting times ten. the nih lost control over this. they are lying -- you get it too. this is what happens when the media doesn't hold any of these folks accountable and anybody who says this differently is labeled as a kook. bill maher, can't believe we're using him as an example, he pointed out something important that he said "the new york times" found that when you ask people what are the odds of someone going to the hospital if they get covid, and 40% of democrats said 50% or more is likely to go to the hospital if you get covid, which means that these people are being fed through liberal media a bunch of garbage, and no one has holding the nih accountable, nobody is holding the media accountable. that's how we get to this point. >> jason, we have fauci's emails, we have this new evidence. in your mind, is this case overwhelming, is it incontrovertible that

lab, we gave the money to another entity that we gave a grand to that gave the money to the wuhan lab. but the grant writing process is so detailed, so wildly cumbersome that it is impossible for the nih not to know what they're doing. it's like forensic accounting times ten. the tracking, monitoring, the reporting, the nih lost control over this, they are lying. the eco-health company is lying. if but you hinted also, this is what happens when the media does not hold any of these folks accountable, nih, fauci who said anything differently. bill mark, i don't know if you saw this, but mel martin actually leave it or not we are using him as an example, but he pointed out something important. he said "the new york times" found that if you ask people where did they odds of somebody going to the hospital if they get covid. 40% of democrats said 50% or more is likely to go to the hospital if you get covid. it means these people are being fed through federal media a bunch of garbage. nobody is hold the nih accountable, holding fauci -- nobody's holding the media account to be either. that's

>> wuhan did violate the terms of their grant award. i want to make real clear, pam, that's why i started explaining what this term gain of function means. yes, they did some things they didn't tell us about, but they didn't do the kind of research that requires high level oversight. that's where the confusion arises. yeah, they messed up. we're going to hold them accountable. they sent us a progress report two years late that they should have sent a while ago, and it had information in it they should have told us about. but let me be clear. this was in no way -- no way -- connected with the advent of sars cov-2 and covid-19. >> we're not saying that. we want to be clear to our viewers there is no allegation here from what we know that the virus used in this experiment two years ago in the wuhan lab is in any way connected to covid-19. >> thank you. >> but what it does show is that there was risky research being conducted in that lab with u.s. taxpayer dollars that the nih was unaware of and is just now finding out. so it raises the que

what was funded, what was happening in the wuhan lab. that's what we need to get to the bottom of. >> the nih issued a statement explaining the naturally occurring bat coronaviruses studied under the nih grant are genetically far distant from sars covid 2 and could not have caused a pandemic. any claims to the contrary and false. and the research that is being investigated right now is unrelated to covid-19, the chinese government has been so uncooperative with investigators trying to trace the origins of the covid-19 pandemic that federal researchers say they cannot rule out the possibility that the pandemic started as a lab leak until the chinese demonstrate more transparency. martha? >> martha: jonathan serrie, thank you very much. let's bring in ranking member on the house oversight committee, republican james comer from kentucky. he says this letter from the nih proves that american tax dollars were used to fund gain of function research in the wuhan lab. congressman, good to have you with us. thanks for being here today. i understa

i love what stuart had to say about the wuhan lab leak. he said, quote, oh my god, there is a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking wuhan, china, what do you think we could ask? the wuhan novel coronavirus lab the disease that has the same name. he makes total sense here. when those guys say these things the left on twitter goes nuts, can't believe they are not marching in line. it is independent thought. a completely foreign concept called common sense and great to see some voices making common sense. carley: making the point about the wuhan lab. thank you. appreciate it. happy friday. coming up the border patrol bracing for tens of thousands of migrants hoping to cross the border before the remain in mexico policy is reinstated. congresswoman ashley pinson says it is time for americans to resign next. that's why they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. oh, yeah. that's the spot. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ we gave new zzzquil pure zzzs restorative herbal sleep to

part of the justification the lab leak theory is the fact that employees from wuhan institute of virology located in the same city in china for the first of the cases were discovered in 2019 conducted research on other coronavirus us in the past. lawmakers such as senator tom cotton at the start of the pandemic. lawmakers don't think it's a coincidence. many gop lawmakers questioned doctor fauci and others for using taxpayer dollars to fund gain of function research wuhan lab increased transmissibility. >> the real question is not whether it was a gain of function, it's just what was it? was funded, what was happening in the wuhan map and that's what we need to get to the bottom of. >> reports has china's cooperation most likely would be needed to reach a conclusion in the assessment of the origins of covid. patient continues to hinder the global investigation, resist sharing information and blaming other countries including the united states. the report states one thing with certainty, china did not unleash covid as a biological weapon. jon: lucas, thank you. after major league baseball

never funded gain-of-function research in wuhan? >> if you look at the viruses that were used in the experiments, it is molecularly impossible. >> no one is saying those viruses caused the pandemic. what we're alleging is that gain-of-function research was going on in that lab and n.i.h. funded it. >> you are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individuals. i totally resent that. and if anybody is lying here, senator, it is you. >> harris: hum. let's fact check now. jonathan serrie, the facts. >> hi, the national institutes of health has ordered one of its grant recipients to present any unpublished data from experiments conducted in the laboratory in wuhan, china. the organization in question is a u.s. nonprofit called ecohealth which went on to fund some research at that lab. in the experimenting question lab mice modified to mimic the human immune system unexpectedly became sicker when exposed to a certain virus found in bats. n.i.h. said it was an unexpected result of the research as opposed to something
