"Declassify It": GOP Senators Demand Wuhan Virology Lab Information Be Released

thank you all for joining us today you know there has been a lot said about big tech censorship of what transpired around the origins of the covid19 virus and where this came from how it moved to a pandemic and then there's also questions about what the american people were told and the timeliness or lack thereof of what they were being told we know that facebook recently reversed their decision on taking down any kind of information that said it came from the lab in wuhan that beijing should be held to account youtube had previously announced that it would censor any content that contradicted the beijing run and china-funded world health organization youtube even took down a video from some medical doctors who were questioning the value of these lockdowns and we're questioning what it does to the population and especially what it does to our children twitter they locked down the account of a virologist a chinese virologist who was saying this is what they're doing gain a function research this is what they're doing in the wuhan institute of virology holding the chinese communist party to account i i will tell you this big tech has really stepped over they have stepped over the line on this one we all have suggestions of how we as a senate should move forward and things that we should do to make certain this never happens to the american people senator braun thank you now tell you where we need to start you had a unique thing happen i think of just last week where by unanimous consent that hardly ever happens on a critical issue unless you're maybe renaming a post office or something we got it through the senate to ask our own intelligence agencies to release the information that we house and for as much havoc as this is created not only for our own country across the world why we wouldn't start there with president biden spoke to secretary blinken ask him he said and no good reason why you would not release that information we need to start there to get to the bottom of it and when you talk about big tech being mom on the subject basically when you've got every u.s senator that wants to at least start there we need to have accountability and i think it's for them to step up and lead the charge they are the place that people look to listen to where are they at and we need to start there let's hold our own intelligence agencies accountable release that information declassify it senator marshall okay well senator blackburn thank you so much for giving us a chance to sit here and talk about the the wuhan lab leak uh and the cover-up thereof you know what we affectionately refer to it as bat gate you know it occurred to me as i was sitting there reading dr fauci's emails recently that everything i learned in 10th grade science everything i learned as a doctor about the scientific method about hypothesis and and developing theories that we just threw that all out the door you know i was shocked as i went back and reviewed some of the letters that were written but really what what rose my suspicion was somewhere back in january of 2020 and the chinese were saying that there was no person-to-person transmission the wto agreed and the cdc didn't stand up to him and that led for me to have a phone call with the cdc and all the national journalists were reporting that the united states scientists were investigating this new novel virus and when i talked to the cdc they said well we've got scientists in in beijing but they're thousands of miles from mulan so we really don't have anything to tell you and then the next thing i see is this a letter signed by a group of scientists who have ignored even the possibility that this virus could have risen from the laboratory they they totally ignored it uh they threw out this the scientific hypothesis that this was even feasible and our and didn't come to find out most of those scientists if not all of them were receiving some type of funding then and in the future from the nih and our cdc sat there and nodded their head in agreement and then national journalists big tech companies that they work together to suppress this story they work together to to censor those of us who thought that there that this virus may have originated there and not only did they suppress they actually shamed people who thought that this might have came from a laboratory and then finally we see in dr fauci's emails a collusion working with dr fauci big tech working together to suppress this story you know here we are we're 17 months later we still don't know anything much more about this virus you know i think that we have to hold the ccp uh accountable and if if the united states is in any way accountable if they helped fund laboratories that led to the development of this virus then we need to be held accountable as well and we need a deep dive into what viral gain of research rules uh look like going forward as well you know we're never going to get to the bottom of this unless we stop this cover-up of the wuhan lab leak until we stop bat gate thanks marcia senator johnson go ahead well johnson okay i want to point out that the evidence about a potential lab league theory has been hiding in plain sight for months you know the fact that our federal agencies under the direction of anthony fauci funded this type of research for years has been laying out their hidden in plain sight for months shame on the media shame the social media for not paying attention to it for completely ignoring it the the result of this 18-month gap of fully exploring the the true origin of the covert virus probably means we'll never get to the bottom of it china's had 18 months to destroy this evidence but make no doubt about it china is guilty they are culpable they knew they had a coronavirus they knew they had a deadly pandemic type virus in wuhan they didn't allow flights out of wuhan to the rest of china but they left left that virus infect the entire world so we already know china's guilty we already know they had to be held account to account i think we also need to hold the news meeting the social media accountable as well this isn't the only area suppression i i could list a long list of false narratives false stories that the drive-by media promotes and then never really adequately retracts but when it comes to kovid i have personal experience with censorship and suppression that i believe has cost tens of thousands of americans their lives the nih guidelines as it relates to treatment of covid remains a compassionless guideline to basically do nothing go home isolate yourself be afraid and if you just happen to get sick enough where you have to check yourself in the hospital check yourself in the hospital maybe we can save your life i held two hearings on early treatment dr peter mcculloch laid out the four pillars of pandemic response the first one is try and stop the spread well china is guilty not doing that the second pillar is early treatment basically how we apply medicine to every other condition early detection early treatment then in hospital treatment and finally vaccine why did our health agencies why did anthony fauci why did the mainstream media suppress and censor doctors had the courage and compassion to treat patients early with cheap generic repurposed drugs why did that happen there is growing evidence it's not being reported on by the media mexico is having great success with ivermectin certain provinces in india are having great success cyber mechanics where is reporting on that we've seen studies where fifty to eighty-five percent of lives could have been saved it prevents that much death apply that percentage to the six hundred thousand americans that lost their lives which is why i believe the news media will never admit their complicity and why they will never admit they were wrong here but it's not too late lives can be saved we're still going to need early treatment no matter how effective the vaccine is no matter how effective immunity from having been infected is other people will get infected other people are going to need early treatment so i am begging by employing the media pay attention to people like dr corey dr peter mcculloch the other doctors have the courage and compassion to treat patients it's not too late we need to start and really robustly explore early treatment now and finally senator wicker who joins me in holding big tech accountable and dealing with thank you senator blackburn and others the the last quarter of a century has seen enormous growth uh in the internet and uh much of it's been positive as we all know but the result of uh this quarter century has been that it has allowed a handful of um internet big tech platforms to grow enormously large enormously rich and enormously powerful to the point where they decide what is the news they decide what information the public is going to get what information is going to be blocked and uh and and it's not just the wuhan virus which is an outrage as as my colleagues have just described we we could cite chapter and verse uh time and time and time again about these big platforms deciding what we will hear and what we can't hear so let me just let me just help out by saying senator johnson is right and i will cite a few examples google threatened to cut off several conservative websites including the federalists how do they have the power to do that how can they justify doing that companies restrict or terminate conservative users accounts and content on social media facebook announces suspending the account of a former president of the united states that is too much power for them to decide who can and who cannot make news and be quoted twitter removed twitter moved to censor any coronavirus coverage that they thought in their judgment might cause widespread panic how does a multi-rich powerful internet platform get to make that decision and i could go on and on and on that's why i've joined with senators like senator blackburn in in trying to correct the two third the section 230 gaps but also why i'm introducing legislation to to make it clear that these large internet tech platforms cannot discriminate based on their own opinions and based on what they think the public should and should not be allowed to hear this is a serious grave threat to freedom and the open exchange of ideas under our constitution and i'm glad to stand with these members on this task thank you all as you can see it this is something that is going to span several committees here in the u.s senate it is our job to get to the bottom of what happened and then to bring forward remedies like senator wicker has just laid out got a question thank you so the eu and g7 have called for an investigation into whether or not this was a fulfillment i'm wondering do you think an international approach is the best way to investigate this going forward i think the standing committees of the u.s senate should take the lead we are pleased that our allies are also joining us and saying this needs to be investigated it is obvious that something was not right it is of concern that the who decided that they were going to let the communist chinese tell them when and how they could approach this lab and that we had to wait for months and then also i saw your release yesterday about firing dr fauci can you just talk a little bit about that sure i think that uh it is appropriate that dr fauci step aside from his responsibilities at the niaid and that he make himself available to congress to find out exactly how was he in cahoots with mark zuckerberg and big tech what transpired there did the american people hear some truth but not the whole truth and nothing but the truth why was there not timeliness of acknowledgement of concerns around the lab why was there not more of a concern around wuhan saying you cannot go anywhere else in china or the chinese communist party saying you can go nowhere else in china if you're from ube province or you're from wuhan but you can travel the globe everywhere but china these are things that now look we've got three and a half million people that have lost their life three and a half million people we have hundreds of thousands of american families who have experienced loss of life in their families to loved ones to friends we have loss of livelihood for hundreds of millions we have children precious children that have just experienced loss of learning for a year loss of socialization that are showing emotional problems and dr fauci is funded by the u.s taxpayer and the taxpayer is saying what did you do with our dollar thank you all so much
