the Joe Rogan experience and it's not just China and this is the theory but the
thing about the lab leak and why I actually want to de-culture you had Josh
Rogan on and yeah he did some really good that guy's amazing what he what he
expertly shows is if this is true the lab leak hypothesis is true yes the
Chinese covered it up guess what the Chinese are liars and they covered up
SARS and they've covered up basically everything that's come out of their
country for the last like 30 years that's not a shocker the shocker is dr.
Anthony Fauci 2017 reverses the ban on gain-of-function research directs this
funding to EcoHealth Alliance dr. Peter Daszak who then gives it to the Wuhan
Institute of Virology for the study of novel bat coronaviruses and then when
the pandemic turns around we take dr. Peter Daszak as the only American to join
the World Health Organization's investigation team into whether
coronavirus leaked from a lab and on 60 minutes I forget who was interviewing
him she goes well wait so how did you verify it did you just ask them and he
goes well what else can we do because he's also half British and that's how he
goes well what else can we do oh we could read emails we could also see that
deep Peter Daszak as of two days ago has been caught lying he said there were
no
live bats inside of the Wuhan Institute of Virology Sky News Australia just
revealed 2017 video that bats were present inside the Wuhan
Institute of Virology and the deputy director says before this China had no
experience in BSL for lab that's the highest level safety for a laboratory but
we have been here and I I don't forget I don't want to miss miss quote him but
he
said something along the lines of creating new viruses synthesizing new viruses
and
what Fauci and dr. Shi who was the head of the Wuhan Institute of Virology
they're playing fucking games Fauci and Rand Paul when Rand Paul was pressing
him he was
like we did not fund gain of function research he's trying to define it as
explicitly what he what what
is on the record as him funding dr. Shi is the same thing we were not doing
gain of
function research this is actually this is actually this is amazing I don't
know if
you caught she did an email interview with the New York Times which was mostly
I
mean it was just you know the standard like state party line from China but
they
asked her about gain of function research and I'm sure your listeners mostly no
know that gain of function research is basically modifying these to see what
how
can we make these pathogens more dangerous right and it's very it's in and of
itself
very dangerous because these things do leak from labs relatively routinely and
she
says we were not doing gain of function research because what we were doing
wasn't
making it more virulent or dangerous it was seeing if it could jump from
species to
species I'm sorry isn't that like the definition of making it more dangerous
for us seeing if you can make it jump into our species like that seems like
that's pretty dangerous so they're trying to play these games saying it's not
technically gain of how does Fauci get away with standing there under oath and
saying media right it's all media pressure which is he's the god it's the it's
the
anti-Trump derangement syndrome right Fauci was put up as like the anti-Trump
guy
and he became this liberal icon I mean there are these signs in Washington DC
of
people's yards I don't know if you have him here but it's literally his face on
this is what we're dealing with Joe this is what we're dealing with that's the
level of hero worship right and again no one is above reproach every human
being is
flawed and especially when you're in that kind of position of power and you
have
certain incentives like you have to ask questions about these things but there
was another element too and this was frankly in an ingenious play by the media
and
the scientific community is not only was it oh Trump and his band
of wackos are the ones that are promoting this theory but also that this
theory is somehow racist and the moment that the lab leak theory was pegged as
racist that's when it really became toxic for anyone in the mainstream to ask
questions about because you don't want to be pegged as like oh well you're just
pursuing this racist conspiracy theory and my thought has always been from the
beginning like first of all we just need the answer like neutrally to look at
what
actually happened here but second of all if we're playing them which is more
racist game it seemed way worse to me when people were like oh Chinese people
eat
bats and that's disgusting and they're so weird and that's how we all got this
pandemic that seemed to me way more problematic than the idea that a lab that
by the
way the USA is funding that something leaked accidentally from that lab so that
was really the thing that put this all off the table was this strategic
weaponization of you know what is a very real problem of alleging racism it's
the
scientific community teamed up with them well basically they got the luckiest
fucking break of their lives that Trump was president because they teamed up
with
the media and they made it so that it was racist to question even recently the
lead New York Times reporter on COVID tweeted and then deleted are we ever
going
someday we will acknowledge the racist origins of the lab leak theory New York
Times reporter who was in charge of COVID right this is still in their in their
brains they have brain worms because of Trump and I was telling Crystal because
of Trump 35% of this popular you could have smoking gun proof their lab leak
theory was true 35% of the population hardcore Democrats who watch MSNBC they'll
never believe it they'll always say that it's racist and here's the problem
which
this is the same problem with all Trump stuff if gain if this is true we should
be having a national conversation around gain-of-function research we should
have a Wuhan Commission around gain-of-function research instead they
want to do a January 6th Commission in order to reconstruct the events of a day
where we all fucking know what happened okay it's over we know I'm not saying
it
wasn't terrible but that is not what the driving comment what is it fucking it's
June 15th why are we still talking about gain about January 6th we should be
talking right now did US government funds explicitly directed towards novel
coronavirus research which led to the worst pandemic in a century and cost the
global economy trillions of dollars and as Josh is the first one to point out
the
response from the scientific community has been we need more gain-of-function
research 1.2 billion dollars to the global virome project and so once again the
scientific community wanted all of this covered up they teamed up with the
media
to protect their funding resources because what people forget Fauci is
actually the king of funding the National Institute of Infectious Disease I
believe that's NIAD that's what he's in charge of they are the primary funding
authority for huge amounts of the scientific community we had Dr.
Brett Weinstein on our show and he was explaining this to us which is that if
you're inside of that research system you need access to those dollars to keep
your lab afloat like for my dad is a professor at Texas A&M and so I know a
little bit about funding and like the way that you keep your tenure positions
in a
lot of these universities is you have to like continually bring funding in so
both my parents professors there and so like a lot of the professorial game is
getting money from granting institutions now in the science community is from
the
National Science Foundation it's from the National Institute or whatever Fauci
is
the head of the National Institute of Health they have to keep the dollars
flowing so if you admit this is gain-of-function research you start
asking questions NIH and Fauci can fucking cut you off like this is a whole
business it's a multi-billion dollar I mean it's an industry because it's about
research and look the core theme of our show is like follow the money right so
follow the money where's the money lead at least Fauci Peter Daszak and it's
like look I don't sound crazy but this is basically like a global
conspiracy in terms of the Chinese government it's a total cover-up of the
Chinese government the US government the guy who was on the fucking TV and we
were all supposed to trust this entire time and it turns out like he's the guy
who reversed the ban in the first place in order to take advantage of the chaos
under Trump and I know it's so complicated and regular people this is what
bothers me most about the mainstream media people want to live their lives and
they want answers and increasingly they know they are being lied to but they do
not
have the time Chris it's our job in order to you know explain all this about
Peter
Daszak and the World Health Organization what is gain-of-function research how
Washington actually works the global funding structures etc people are being
lied to they have been completely lied to on the story I think I do think this
is
the biggest failure since Iraq WMD I think this is WMD 2.0
