Biden's gaffe at G-7 Summit sparks laughter

SHANNON. >> Shannon: BENJAMIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS THE INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHT WILL BE SHINE EVEN BRIGHTER AND PRESIDENT BIDEN'S TIME ON THE WORLD STAGE, INCLUDING THAT FIRST FACE-TO-FACE WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN. LET'S BRING IN THE PANEL. JESSICA KARLOFF AND HOST OF "THE NEXT REVOLUTION," STEVE HILTON. THERE'S BEEN SOME CRITICISM AND PRAISE PER PRESIDENT BIDEN ON HOW HE'S DOING. HERE'S A SNIPPET OF SOME OF THE THINGS GETTING ATTENTION. >> I KNOW YOU ALL KNOW BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW WHAT COVID IS. HARASSING THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THOSE WHO ARE HARASSING, OR GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO CHANGE THINGS. I'M GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE WITH STAFF IF I DON'T DO THIS THE RIGHT WAY. I MAY GET TROUBLE WITH MY STAFF. GO AHEAD. >> Shannon: STEVE, I DON'T ASSESS YOUR FAN OF THE PRESIDENT BUT HOW DO YOU FEEL SO FAR? >> I WILL TAKE A PASS ON COMMENTING ON ANY OF THAT AND FOCUS ON THE SUBSTANCE. THERE WASN'T VERY MUCH SUBSTANCE. IT SEEMS THAT THE TRIP SO FAR FOR BIDEN HAS BEEN A BRANDING EXERCISE AND THE BRAND HE'S BEEN PUSHING HIS AMERICA IS BACK. THE QUESTION IS, BACK DOING WHAT? THERE WASN'T REALLY ANY SUBSTANTIVE OUTCOME THAT ANYONE CAN POINT TO EITHER FROM THE G7 OR FROM NATO. ON THE BIG QUESTION WHICH IS CHINA, AS WE JUST HEARD IN THAT REPORT, IN FACT WE TOOK A NUMBER OF STEPS BACKWARDS. THE WHOLE ARGUMENT THAT THE LEFT, THE DEMOCRATS IN THE MEDIA USED TO MAKE AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICE WITH HE STANDING UP TO CHINA. HE'S CONFRONTING CHINA BUT HE'S GOING IT ALONE AND THESE NOT WORKING WITH ALLIES AND THAT'S NOT A GOOD STRATEGY. BIDEN SAID HE'D BE DIFFERENT. HE WOULD WORK WITH ALLIES IN ORDER TO BRING THEM TOGETHER TO CONFRONT CHINA. EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE HAPPENED. THE STATEMENTS ON CHINA WERE WEAKER THAN WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE. THE CENTRAL GOAL OF CONFRONTING THE CENTRAL STRATEGIC QUESTION FACING AMERICA AND THE WORLD, BIDEN TOTALLY FAILED TO MOBILIZE ALLIES AGAINST CHINA. THAT'S LONG-TERM DISASTER FOR AMERICA AND THE WORLD. >> Shannon: JESSICA, WHAT DO YOU THINK HE NEEDS TO DO? BACK-AND-FORTH THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS TOO COMFORTABLE WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN, HE WAS TOO EASY ON HIM BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT SANCTIONS AND OTHER THINGS, IT DOESN'T MATCH UP WITH THE RHETORIC. HE SAID I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A RELATIONSHIP THAT I'M GOING TO BE TOUGH ON HIM. PRESIDENT BIDEN GOES INTO THIS WITH THE PIPELINE HAVING BEEN GRANTED IN PUTIN'S FAVOR IN A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH CYBER HACKING AND OTHER DIFFICULT THINGS. ALEXI NOVOTNY AMONG THEM. WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO DO TO SAY THIS WITH A WIN FOR THE U.S. ALEXI NEPAL ME. >> HE HAS TO SAY ALL OF PUTIN'S CANNED ANSWERS ARE INADEQUATE. WE SAW PUTIN KIND OF LAUGH AT THE IDEA ABOUT ALEXI NOVOTNY. HE SAID HE COULDN'T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE IF NOVOTNY DIED IN RUSSIAN CUSTODY. I THINK BIDEN HAS TO PUSH THE FIRST AND FOREMOST AND I WOULD ADD I WAS GLAD THERE WAS MENTION OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE GENOCIDE OF -- THE ISSUES ARE TOP OF MIND. ALEXI NOVOTNY IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT, LEADING OPPOSITION FIGURE. REAL BEACON FOR A CHANCE ON DEMOCRACY. >> Shannon: ESTATE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLING OUT THE UIGHUR GENOCIDE. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION. LET'S TALK ABOUT COVID. SOME PEOPLE WERE NOT THAT IMPRESSED WITH THE G7 ULTIMATE DETERMINATION ON COVID. SAYING "WHO'S ON FIRST? THE WORLD'S LEADERS WANT THE SAME W.H.O. THAT FAILED IN ITS FIRST COVID-19 ORIGINS STUDY TO DO ANOTHER ONE, THIS TIME WITH FEELING? WE HEARD SECRETARY OF STATE BLINKEN SAY THAT THE FIRST ONE WAS A DISASTER BUT WE ARE GIVING THEM ANOTHER CHANCE AND THEY EXPECTED TO BE BETTER. >> IT WAS PATHETIC WHAT CAME OUT OF THE G7. THIS QUEST FOR SOME KIND OF FURTHER INQUIRY. MORE AND MORE INFORMATION IS COMING OUT ABOUT BOTH PARTS OF IT, WHERE DID THE VIRUS COME FROM. EVERYTHING POINTS TO THE REAL CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT WE HAVE SEEN. THE LAB WORK. THE MOST LIKELY ORIGIN IS A LEAK, ACCIDENTAL LEAK. NO ONE HERE IS ACCUSING ANYONE OF DOING IT DELIBERATELY. ACCIDENTAL LEAK FROM THE WUHAN LAB. THEY CLEARLY COVERED IT UP. THEY CLEARLY TIED TO PRETEND IT WASN'T A PANDEMIC. THEN THEY PROTECTED THEIR INTERESTS WHILE ALLOWING THE PANDEMIC TO GROW AND GET GOING BY LETTING PEOPLE TRAVEL ALL AROUND THE WORLD. YOU CAN BLAME CHINA FOR THAT AND THAT G7 UTTERLY FAILED TO DO THAT. THE OTHER PART OF THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, IT'S JUST A COMPLETELY IGNORED WHICH IS THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, NIAID, DR. FAUCI, FINDING THE WORK THAT WAS GOING ON IN THE WUHAN LAB. WHAT LEAKS? WHAT WERE THEY WORKING ON AND WHY? THE ANSWER POINTS BACK HERE TO AMERICA. WHAT WAS REALLY TROUBLING WAS THAT THAT WAS NOT DISCUSSED AT ALL. NONE OF THE OTHER LEADERS SEEM TO WANT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO OFFEND THE TWO MOST POWERFUL GOVERNMENTS IN THE WORLD, THE U.S. AND CHINA WHO JOINTLY IN THIS CASE LOOKED LIKE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORIGIN OF THE PANDEMIC. >> Shannon: QUICKLY, JESSICA, DO YOU THINK WE GET A FINAL ANSWER ON THE ORIGINS? >> CERTAINLY NOT BY THE END OF THIS WEEK BUT I AM HOPEFUL THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION WHICH I KNOW IS KIND OF AN OXYMORON WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CHINA BUT THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO DIG DEEPER AND WITH THE W.H.O. HAS DONE IT. "THE NEW YORK TIMES," REPORTER JUST CALLED UP THE WUHAN LAB AND THOUGHT I WILL SEE IF I CAN GET THROUGH TO SOMEONE AND TALKED TO ONE OF THE TOP VIROLOGISTS. DEFINITELY TAKING THE CCP LINE SO WE KNOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE AS PROTECTIVE AS POSSIBLE ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED THERE BUT WE CERTAINLY NEED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT AND I IMAGINE THAT WE WILL HAVE SOME SORT OF REEVALUATION OF GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH. NOT TYING U.S. CULPABILITY TO THIS, THAT IS STRONG AT THIS POINT BUT I THINK IT WILL BE AN INTERNATIONAL DISCUSSION GOING FORWARD IF AN ACCIDENT LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. >> Shannon: YEAH. MANY MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS BUT WE ARE GETTING NEW CLUES EVERY DAY GETTING A BETTER
