Edict from government but if true Obviously these police stations if That's what they are should be closed Down yeah no kidding there was a story The original story I think I read in the New York Post a couple of days ago said That these people at this New York site In particular were cracking down on Chinese dissidents uh bad mouth in China From the United States obviously a knock On the door hey lay off of that yeah and I think we will get to the bottom of This several other countries have Discovered these as well uh in fact the Several Chinese police departments were Bragging that they had these ancillary Stations around the world but I think Several countries in Europe have closed These down too so I think it's good that We're on top of this but it's also good That people remember particularly as We're often angry with China that we Don't become China in the process that We have the presumption of innocence in Our country and they will get a real Trial with the jury and that we won't Give them summary judgment as they do in Authoritarian countries absolutely of Course here in the United States we try To be transparent unlike China when it Comes to the origins of covet I know Yesterday uh you you were talking to the Secretary of uh Department of Homeland Security about the origin of covet you

Wuhan in an opaque totalitarian country And in the end there was a leak from the Lab and millions of people died Worldwide and this didn't happen sort of Accidentally the leak may have been Accident but the funding wasn't Accidental Tony fauci actually went Around the system we had set up a system Where there's a committee they're Supposed to go before a committee to Judge whether this was dangerous and Whether it should be funded Tony fauci Exempted Wuhan from the committee they Never ever went before the committee and This is extraordinary the committee That Was supposed to provide safety and Review this never looked at the research In Wuhan because Tony fauci gave them Exception so the thing is yes he does Bear responsibility for maybe one of the Worst judgment errors in the history of Modern medicine or modern Public Health To fund this dangerous research Well we don't know what we don't know But it would be nice if people were just A little more transparent across the Board absolutely Senator thank you very Much for joining us today thank you all Right I'm Steve Ducey I'm Brian Kilmeade And I'm Ainsley Earhart and click here To subscribe to the Fox News YouTube Page to catch our hottest interviews and Most compelling analysis
