1:18:41 guy I couldn't help it I was with Trump and Delta variant well Delta variant is raging somehow they knew to be on the lookout for this one this morning a hospital in Houston is reporting its first case of the lambda variant of the coronavirus a strain shown to be more transmissible first discovered in Peru last summer Yeah, they're trying to push this lambda. But the problem with lambda is that it's not easy to say, spell, or pronounce, or pronounce or say the same thing. It's definitely not as punchy. It's not as punchy. Delta, delta. That's why there's so many sororities got delta in them. Delta, alpha, delta, psi, delta, delta, delta. It's got a hard D and a T. It's two hard consonants. It could also be that Delta Airlines was just tired of it.
1:19:32 Come on man, let's do a lambda. Hey call up that guy Dasik over at that research firm that you know, the go-between for the gain of function research. Call that guy, let's make it lambda variant so at least we can get this delta off the books. It's killing me over here. Now you're gonna continue but I want to just mention that I do have, because nobody put it on the air, the complete back and forth. That's exactly where I was going and I led you right down that path and you followed along. Between Fauci and Rand Paul. Yes. If you listen to the mainstream media, you saw Rand Paul say a couple of nasty things to Fauci on the hearing and then Fauci says, you're a liar! Well, I would like to play two clips before we play that and I'm glad you got that.
1:20:27 So we should probably just set it up. What the, in a nutshell, what is happening is Rand Paul has asked Dr. Fauci repeatedly if the NIH or specifically the NIA, DIA, ILMNOP that he is in charge of has funded gain-of-function research, which is very, well, it's actually, it can be a very broad term, but in this, context, we know and we've seen like some small number $3.7 million contract and they went to this third party, was it Bioinformatics, I forget the name of the company. Yeah, it's mentioned in these clips. And then he was doing gain-of-function research and it really isn't even about where it was done per se.
1:21:17 But, you know, the idea is that it was this gain-of-function research was done and at least some of it may have done in Austin, for I know, some of it could be in Manitoba. But a portion of it was done in Wuhan and that's where we might have had the lab leak. It's truly about the gain of function and what Fauci is, the way I see it, he's playing word games to say, well, NIH never funded gain-of-function research, which is true because it was through an intermediary. There's some other trickery the way he's answering or stating things that is, I mean, he may even be technically correct in the long run.
1:21:58 But the look of this is very bad for Fauci, especially since Rand Paul has gone back now in this latest exchange and has in effect given him the chance to get out of this lie, which Fauci is holding steadfast to. And now Rand Paul is saying, oh, I just filed papers with the Department of Justice. I want Fauci arrested because he lied to Congress. And that, from a PR standpoint, sucks if you're Fauci. But listen to how the mainstream, the M5M, is reporting it. We'll start with Don Lemon. Senator Rand Paul, well he tried to make Dr. Anthony Fauci into his personal punching bag today as they went head-to-head over the senator's bogus claims that the National Institutes of Health somehow played a role in funding research that led to the origins of the pandemic. Do you see what he's doing here?
1:22:50 He's omitting the gain of function piece. He's completely... it's not gain of function research, no. The story that they're running with is... Fran, Paul, he's saying that Fauci funded people to do that, in the lab to create a bio-web, whatever they're saying, it's not what the story is. This claims that the National Institutes of Health somehow played a role in funding research that led to the origins of the pandemic. And Dr. Fauci... Yeah, instead of financing, played a role. Thank you. Good catch. Was definitely not having it. So disingenuous, dishonest Don Lemon.
1:23:28 Okay, so we don't have to go into that. Then ABC America this morning. A heated exchange erupted on Capitol Hill between Senator Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci. Paul accused Fauci of lying to Congress about funding research at a lab in Wuhan, China. Dr. Fauci fired back. Did we miss again that it was... What? I thought it was gain-of-function research. They can't bring themselves to say it. And, I mean, is this seriously Because these are scripted people. But is that's what, that's the level that they've gone cross-network and said, okay, we're dropping gain of function, we don't want to mention the main topic of the debate is gain of function research, and we're just dropping that from our reporting? Now we have to remember that gain of function research was banned.
1:24:19 in the United States. In fact Fauci is on record, we haven't played it, but he's on record in video saying, well that got stopped so we had to find other innovative ways to get around funding it. Yeah. I mean it's out in the open. It's like it's red, no it's blue. It's red, look at it. So what I want to play is the actual, I have a two-part or three-part version of the Rand Paul further, okay. I've got actually the actual testimony on both sides and the argument and debate that went back and forth in three clips and then I have a follow-up where Rand Paul comes on
1:24:59 with one of these obscure Fox shows and explains in detail what the hell's going on. Good. None of this of course is covered by the mainstream media at all. And we have to take up our valuable time to show this. You're so right. And so I decided that, well, we should play the whole damn thing, and that's why I cut it into three, the whole back and forth between Fauci and Rand Paul, because it's actually educational. At the same time, it shows you what a bunch of dicks that the mainstream media are. because they won't give us the facts. Let's start with New Rand versus Fauci, part one. Dr. Fauci, as you are aware, it is a crime to lie to Congress. Section 1001 of the U.S. Criminal Code creates a felony and a five-year penalty for lying to Congress. On your last trip to our committee on May 11th, you stated that the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
1:26:03 And yet, gain-of-function research was done entirely in the Wuhan Institute by Dr. Shi and was funded by the NIH. I'd like to ask unanimous consent to insert into the record the Wuhan virology paper entitled, Discovery of a Rich Gene Pool of Bat-SARS-Related Coronaviruses. Please deliver a copy of the journal article to Dr. Fauci. In this paper, Dr. Shi credits the NIH and lists the actual number of the grant that she was given by the NIH. In this paper, she took two bat coronavirus genes, spike genes, and combined them with a SARS-related backbone to create new viruses that are not found in nature. These lab-created viruses were then shown to replicate in humans.
1:26:54 These experiments combine genetic information from different coronaviruses that infect animals but not humans to create novel artificial viruses able to infect human cells. Viruses that in nature only infect animals were manipulated in the Wuhan lab to gain the function of infecting humans. Boom! Can I say it now? So he starts off with this and he goes on a little bit more before Fauci is actually allowed to... Fauci is visibly shook by this, by the way. Yeah, very obvious. He looks a little bit younger, P.S. Maybe some bow to the tux? No, it's probably because he's getting... he's probably got flushed. Okay. Yeah, he looks healthy. But he was slightly nervous and he was mad because... and Paul was not... I don't know if...
1:27:49 I mean it wasn't like entrapment when he starts off by saying, you know it's illegal to do what you did right at the beginning. So that was immediately put Fauci on the defensive. So the thing continues now, just to kind of do a little meta on this, the debate is over whether or not the NIH gave Wuhan money to fund nothing but gain of function not to make a COVID-19 virus, but just to do this work. And Fauci tries to twist it a little bit to get out of this, but Fauci is pretty adamant. I think he, I don't know what he's gonna do, but let's continue. This research fits the definition of the research that the NIH said was subject to the pause in 2014 to 2017, a pause in funding on gain of function.
1:28:43 But the NIH failed to recognize this, defines it away, and it never came under any scrutiny. Dr. Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist from Rutgers, described this research in Wuhan as The Wuhan lab used NIH funding to construct novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses able to infect human cells and laboratory animals. This is high-risk research that creates new potential pandemic pathogens, potential pandemic pathogens that exist only in the lab, not in nature.
1:29:21 This research matches, these are Dr. Ebright's words, this research matches, indeed epitomizes the definition of gain-of-function research done entirely in Wuhan for which there was supposed to be a federal pause. Dr. Fauci, knowing that it is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish to retract your statement of May 11th where you claimed that the NIH never funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan? Your microphone. Senator Paul, I have never lied before the Congress and I do not retract that statement. This paper that you were referring to was judged by qualified staff up and down the chain as not being gain of function. What was, let me finish. You're saying when you take an animal virus and you increase its transmissibility to humans, you're saying that's not gain of function? That is correct. And Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly. And I want to say that officially. You do not know what you are talking about.
1:30:25 Okay, you get one person. Let's read from the NIH definition of gain of function. This is your definition that you guys wrote. I just love the, excuse me, I'm saying this officially as a member of Starfleet command. I'm officially reprimanding you. It doesn't even say, no one says Dr. Rand Paul, do they? Dr. Paul, no. Rand Paul, Republican. Republican Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci. And so now it's about a definition. Pretty much what the whole thing is really about. But it's a definition. He's saying, no, that's not gain. He literally, Fauci said, that's not gain of function. Yeah. That's what he said. So it's about a definition. Hold on a second. Is this thing blue? No, it's not blue. Let's see. Gain of function definition. Let's see if that's changed or we are just wrong.
1:31:23 Uh, gain of function. Wikipedia. Hmm. Well, that's always good to know. Gain of function research is medical research that alters an organism or disease in a way that increases pathogenesis, transmissibility, or host range, or the types of hosts that a microorganism can infect. Yeah. So definitely, definitely. It's definitely gain of function. Gain of function. And that's according to Wikipedia, the book of knowledge. So you can't get out of that. So Fauci is just denying it. No. I do not like your violence. By the way, Rand Paul's as flabbergasted as Fauci. Do you think so? Do you think he was really flabbergasted? I don't think so. I think he was. I think it was flabbergasted that Fauci had the gall to say this was not gain of function. Just deny it. No, no, it's not blue. It looks blue to me. No. And he didn't just say that. He said it officially.
