Gordon Chang and Trish Discuss the Origins of the Coronavirus
"Recent weeks, we have learned what you and I, I think we're talking about back in January of 2020, which was the Wuhan lab theory. We had certainly I think both heard from various sources that it was quite possible that the coronavirus originated in a lab in Wuhan. That theory that discussion as you well know, Gordon was shut down. Aggressively shut down and now it seems doctor Anthony Fauci may have been at the forefront of helping to shut that discussion down by commissioning a scientific study, which he basically was able to take a red pen to. Doctor Redfield, head of the CDC, was cut out of conversations because he felt it was possible it may have come from a Wuhan lab and I think he said the most devastating thing to him was when the Baltimore sun called him a racist because he suggested it might come from Wuhan. We know what we all went through. Why do you think that was? Why do you think there was such an aggressive attempt to say no, there's no way it came from the Wuhan institute of virology? My theory is that Doctor Fauci was trying to protect himself. So if we go back to 2014, the Obama administration imposed a moratorium on the federal funding of gain of function research in the United States. So what did Fauci do? He outsourced gain of function funding to a biological weapons lab in China, the Wuhan institute of virology. And he did that through the New York based echo health alliance. So echo health alliance with NIH money was actually funding gain of function on coronaviruses. So I think Fauci is a little bit concerned that the Chinese took what they learned from his funding and they were applying it and eventually ended up creating SARS CoV-2, the pathogen causing COVID-19.

"New type of bold in a Honda SUV. So your local Honda dealer. 1141. Now to Maryland politics or I guess what was Marilyn politics? Republican Dan Cox lost his beard from Marilyn governor last year. Now he's leaving the state's political scene. The Baltimore sun reports that Cox is joining Pennsylvania state, senator Doug mastriano, as his new chief of staff, mastriano also lost his bid for governor in November to Democrat Josh Shapiro. Cox and Montreal ran strikingly similar campaigns, they were both endorsed by former president Trump. They both campaigned on attacking COVID pandemic measures, targeting transgender issues and advocating for anti abortion laws. Cox is telling the Baltimore Sonia will continue to live in Maryland, though, where he's also starting a podcast called it's your freedom. The capitol rioter who threatened a police officer with a flagpole during the January 6th attack has been sentenced to three years in prison. 53 year old Kevin seyfried used the flagpole, which had a confederate battle flag attached to it as a weapon against a black police officer that day. During his sentencing, he tearfully apologized. He told the judge he never wanted to send a message of hate. The Delaware man stormed the capitol with his son hunter, who was sentenced to two years in prison. That was done last year. Hundreds of employees were sent home after 8 suspicious packages arrived at the Washington county courthouse in Pennsylvania today. KDKA TV's Megan schiller reports from the scene.

But out of an abundance of caution, the worker that opened the package did go to the hospital for treatment, and I'm told a judge drove himself to the hospital too. According to the FBI, the packages did not contain any hazardous materials or powder, and though the investigation is still ongoing, there's not believed to be any threat to public safety.

"Your local Honda dealer today. 9 41, the Treasury Department says it's planning to borrow more money in the coming months as The White House and Democrats press congressional Republicans to raise the debt ceiling. Mitchell Miller has more from Capitol Hill. The Treasury Department plans to boost borrowing for the first quarter due in part to lower than expected tax receipts and higher spending. House speaker Kevin McCarthy, who will meet this week with President Biden wants to rein in spending in return for GOP support to raise the debt ceiling. But Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer says Republicans could put the economy and Americans at risk if they don't raise the debt limit. The damages will show up on everything from people's credit card bills. Their mortgage rates. But Wisconsin Republican senator Ron Johnson says there's nothing wrong with looking at where federal spending can be reduced. We need to fully understand how the federal government is spending the taxpayers hard earned money on Capitol Hill, Mitchell Miller, WTO.
