taxpayer funded medical research that, according to The New York Times now and everybody else, appears to have led to the coronavirus pandemic and then turning around and like literally in the same breath talking about how outrageous it is that Elon Musk would be auditing the agencies or that the Trump administration would be investigating whether the medical research is being well spent.

In fact, Zeynep Tufekci criticized Elon just last month for how dare he be involved in this audit and there must be something nefarious. I mean, there's just a lack of self-awareness on the part of the media elites here that is pretty typical of their behavior. I mean... This is a situation where we need significantly more public and white executive branch oversight of our medical institutions.

So for them to just turn around and pretend like none of this happened on COVID is particularly galling.

Yeah, I mean, first I should say, I don't know that I'm comfortable with this idea that you would revoke pardons. I just think that that opens up a whole Pandora's box that I don't think we want to do. And I appreciate the desire people have to get some revenge on Fauci. He certainly appears to have done wrong in many ways. But the most important thing is just to get the truth out.

And whatever it takes to do that, I think is important. And so I don't know what's possible legally, but I mean, we still don't have all the documents. I mean, we reported on a bunch of the documents, but there's just got to be a lot more there at NIH and at the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Diseases.

There's probably more from various agencies, including the intelligence community. I mean, our sources were in the intelligence community. who told us that we had multiple sources.

Later, we actually had another source that came out and said that the FBI knew since at least March of 2020 that COVID was the result of a lab leak, and that's because a Chinese national from Wuhan was working as a confidential human source for the FBI. And they told their handler at the FBI's Chinese intelligence squad, which means that probably the whole squad of 25 people knew.

I mean, it's one of those things where in our other reporting as well on these things, you're always a little shocked by how many people knew and they were able to keep it a secret for so long. So we've got to get to the bottom of it. There was this idea spread by Fauci that, oh, we will probably never know where it came from. The evidence is trending in the direction where it appears that

There's a growing consensus, including from the folks that had said that the lab leak theory was racist. That was a New York Times reporter increasing consensus that it was a lab leak and that there is more evidence coming out. So I'm happy to see the president push for it.

I don't think that I think the priority should be on getting the truth out, not on prosecuting or incarcerating people that lied.
