	Going to play our guitars and sing you a contrast.
	Sean, Hammery, the new Sean Hannity Show.
	More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
	This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show.
	America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines.
	Day number 68.
	68.
	Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
	Hi News Roundup Information Overload Hour, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Now, all this money from the NIH to the Eco Alliance to the funding of the Wuhan Virology Lab, where we all knew, the world knew that they did coronavirus research and they did gain of function research.
	This is not at all a surprise to anybody.
	Now, Richard Ebright, the NIH corrects untruthful assertions by the NIH Director Collins and Dr. Fauci that the NIH had not funded gain of function research in Wuhan.
	Now, between the emails of Dr. Fauci and, of course, we had the leak of, what was it, 900 documents released by the Intercept, we already determined that Fauci was lying and that Rand Paul was the guy that was telling us the truth.
	Let's take you back and remind you of this exchange between Fauci and Rand Paul.
	Will you in front of this group categorically say that the COVID-19 could not have occurred through serial passage in a laboratory?
	I do not have any accounting of what the Chinese may have done, and I'm fully in favor of any further investigation of what went on in China.
	However, I will repeat again, the NIH and NIAD categorically has not funded gain of function research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
	We do support it in the U.S.
	We have 11 labs doing it, and you have allowed it here.
	We have a committee to do it, but the committee has granted every exemption.
	You're fooling with Mother Nature here.
	You're allowing super viruses to be created with a 15% mortality.
	It's very dangerous.
	I think it was a huge mistake to share this with China, and it's a huge mistake to allow this to continue in the United States.
	And we should be very careful to investigate where this virus came from.
	I fully agree that you should investigate where the virus came from.
	But again, we have not funded gain of function research on this virus in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
	No matter how parsing your parts are.
	Say it.
	There was research done with Dr. Xi and Dr. Barrick.
	They have collaborated on gain of function research where they enhanced the SARS virus to infect human airway cells, and they did it by merging a new spike protein on it.
	That is gain of function.
	That was joint research between the Wuhan Institute and Dr. Barrick.
	You can't deny it.
	I totally resent the lie that you are now propagating, Senator, because if you look at the viruses that were used in the experiments that were given in the annual reports that were published in the literature, it is molecularly impossible.
	No one's saying those viruses caused it.
	It is molecularly.
	What we're alleging is that gain-of-function research was going on in that lab and NIH funded it.
	That is not...
	Get away from it.
	It meets your definition and you are obfuscating the truth.
	Let me just finish.
	I want everyone to understand that if you look at those viruses, and that's judged by qualified virologists and evolutionary biologists, those viruses are molecularly impossible.
	No one's results.
	No, they are.
	No one saw those viruses caused the pandemic.
	We're saying they are gain-of-function viruses because they're normal viruses that became more transmissible and human, and you funded it.
	And you admit the truth.
	And you are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individual.
	I totally resent that.
	And if anybody is lying here, Senator, it is you.
	Now, we have a Freedom of Information Act reveal that, in fact, Fauci and the NIH, in fact, funded this gain of function research at the Wuhan Virology Lab.
	We have more than 900 pages of documents released now detail how the U.S. funded the research by EcoHealth Alliance.
	That's your tax dollars funded through the NIH on several types of coronaviruses at this very virology lab in the Wuhan Institute.
	And the Intercept first reported the documents describe the work of this group.
	They subcontract the money out to EcoHealth Alliance.
	That's a health organization in the U.S.
	And they used the funding to conduct research at this particular lab.
	Now, these documents were released following ongoing Freedom of Information Act litigation by the Intercept against the NIH.
	And basically, we now have a roadmap to the high-risk research that led to the origins of this coronavirus.
	And the grant provided the EcoHealth Alliance was a whopping $3.1 million, including $599,000 that the Wuhan Virology Lab used to identify and alter bat coronaviruses to infect humans.
	That grant proposal even warned of the potential dangers associated with experiments like this.
	Quote, field work involves the highest risk of exposure to SARS and other COVS COVES, COVID, meaning coronaviruses, while working in caves with high bat density overhead and the potential for fecal dust to be inhaled.
	In other words, let me say it this way.
	I told you so doesn't even begin to cover it here.
	And that's the tweet from Senator Ram Paula, Kentucky, who joins us now.
	Senator, you were more right, I think, than you even knew at the time.
	Yeah, Sean, and here's the real dagger in the heart for these people.
	The NIH now is saying, yes, EcoHealth did do gain of function.
	Viruses that were unknown bat viruses were taken from caves, merged together with SARS virus, another coronavirus, and they did come out more deadly.
	Not only did they do this research, they then didn't report it.
	And I think NIH is trying to shift the buck here a little bit.
	They're trying to say, well, maybe EcoHealth is now going to be thrown under the bus, and the NIH didn't know about this.
	But the letter is still confusing in the sense that it says, oh, this was an unexpected or an inadvertent thing.
	There's no truth to that.
	If you take an unknown virus and you combine it with a SARS virus, you don't know if it's going to be more or less.
	It's unknown, but it's not unexpected.
	In fact, it's a crapshoot.
	You combine a virus and you find out if it infects Self-Works.
	That's what they're studying.
	Does it have gain of function or not?
	And so sometimes it does.
	But to say this is unexpected, therefore it's not gain of function research, is this sort of parsing of words.
	You're being too kind.
	It's not parsing words.
	It's outright lying.
	Because this is what we now know.
	Remember that January 31st email to Fauci that says one of the gene gnomes, as they're breaking down the sequence of COVID-19, they stated emphatically, looked like it was manipulated by human beings.
	That's gain of function.
	Now, this is the same Dr. Fauci in 2012 that said, even if it caused a worldwide pandemic, he still supports research into gain of function with these viruses, which is insanity.
	And why one red cent from America went to this lab in China in Wuhan is beyond any comprehension I have, Senator.
	Yeah, and this is the thing.
	When you look at this, this is the philosophy of collectivism.
	The individuals don't matter, even if 5 million people have died to Fauci.
	It's the collective that matters.
	And he thinks the collective wisdom of gain of function research is worth it, even if you have a pandemic.
	But that's so very much a heartless sort of, you know, who were other collectivists who thought a few people in experimentation might not be too big a deal?
	Well, we know them.
	They were the totalitarian tyrants of the 20th century.
	So, yeah, we have to be alarmed that this guy still leads the country.
	He's been asked firsthand in the last month, do you still trust the Chinese?
	It's yes.
	Should we still be funding research in China?
	Yes.
	Right now, this EcoHealth Alliance that's been lying to government, apparently, according to the NIH, has still got a five-year contract.
	There's a 20, a contract.
	A five-year contract.
	You mean we're going to continue to give money to the communist Chinese over this when they should be paying us trillions of dollars after what they did to us and the entire world?
	My understanding is their contract, eco-health contract with the Wuhan Institute goes through 2025, and there was an interruption.
	President Trump stopped it.
	Dr. Fauci got it started again.
	And my understanding is that money is still flowing from the U.S. taxpayer to Wuhan.
	It's incomprehensible to me, Senator.
	It really is.
	First, I'm glad you're right.
	Now, let's take it a little bit further.
	Who is this molecular biologist, Richard Ebright?
	Do you know him?
	I know him and I've communicated with him.
	He has been fighting this battle long before it became politicized.
	He was worried about this from a purely scientific point of view.
	He's not a partisan.
	He, you know, is, you know, he's in this because of the science and because he's worried that we could get pandemics that would leak from the lab.
	And I think he told me he'd been involved since 2005 with this.
	But there's also another famous scientist.
	His name is Kevin Esbelt from MIT.
	He wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post in the last two weeks, and he said that this type of research risks the very foundation of civilization.
	He thinks there could be a civilization threatening pandemic if a virus gets out that has like a 50% mortality or a 75% mortality.
	He thinks we shouldn't be doing this.
	And this is a scientist that invented the CRISPR technology for gene therapy to try to cure genetic disease.
	So this is, you know, a guy that is in the world's elite with regard to genetics and recombinant genetics.
	And he wrote an op-ed saying we should do it.
	And guess what?
	Not one Democrat on Capitol Hill will let me have an investigative hearing.
	We have been denied hearings by Patty Murray and the Health Committee.
	We've been denied hearings by Gary Peters in the Homeland Security.
	Two committees I sit on that should be investigating this.
	No investigation is being done.
	Well, that's what makes this election in 2022 even that much more important here.
	But the reality is that Fauci lied, and we have the evidence that he knew what was going on with the Eco Alliance.
	And he knew that gain of function research was happening on coronaviruses.
	And we knew that they knew the entire time, which means when he testified back in May to your committee and you had that exchange with him, that he lied to you.
	Now, Roger Stone, if you might recall, I'll use him as but one example.
	You know, pre-dawn raid, guns drawn, frogmen in the backyard, fake news CNN cameras for the crime of, quote, lying to Congress.
	Wasn't that the crime that they were charging him with?
	Correct me if I'm wrong.
	Yeah, and I think that's the definition of injustice.
	When one party is treated one way, when Republicans or conservatives are treated with the full, you know, brunt force of government police, and then if you're a Democrat, nothing happens to you.
	So, you know, I've referred Dr. Fauci to the Department of Justice because he did lie.
	He's committed a crime.
	I think what's come out from the NIH today is further proof that he lied.
	And we will confront him with this.
	He's coming back to our committee in the next couple of weeks.
	We will confront him.
	And the thing is, is we have at the very least allowed the American public to see that he has a self-interest in covering this up because if any of this attaches to him and the NIH, any responsibility for the pandemic, you can see there's a great deal of moral culpability that attaches to 5 million people dying worldwide from research that he's been supporting.
	It's just an unbelievable thing.
	Quick break, right back.
	More with Ram Paul on the other side.
	Hannity 9 Eastern tonight on the Fox News channel.
	This is the Sean Hennity Show.
	Now heard on over 660 radio stations across America.
	Mary, thanks to all of you for making this happen.
	Hey there, I'm Mary Katherine Hamm.
	And I'm Carol Markowitz.
	We've been in political media for a long time.
	Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
	That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
	We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
	We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
	So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
	You're our kind of people.
	Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
	I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
	Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.

	So download Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
	As we continue with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, is there anything, any recourse the United States has to go and get the compensation to every country, every American in particular, that suffered because of what they did to the world?
	unleashing this virus and then lying about it?
	The greatest evidence I think we have, Senator, is that there was another travel ban that nobody ever wants to talk about.
	And that was the Chinese government's travel ban that people in other parts of China were forbidden to travel to Wuhan.
	And if you were in Wuhan, you couldn't travel to any other part of China, which pretty much tells the entire story here.
	And meanwhile, you could leave Wuhan and go to anywhere else in the world.
	So they didn't care about the world.
	They just cared about China.
	I think this should be part of every trade negotiation, every United Nations discussion.
	The UN's largely feckless because China can simply veto things that occur in the Security Council.
	But this affected the whole world.
	5 million people have died worldwide.
	I think most people in the world now believe that China led a cover-up.
	They got rid of their database.
	The virus database disappeared from the internet.
	They have obscured the fact that people were sick with that research facility with COVID-like symptoms.
	So I think the whole world, if it were unified, could punish a China.
	The United States alone, we have a tough time doing it, but it should be part of trade negotiations, should be part of every negotiation we have with them.
	And for goodness sakes, at the very least, we should stop funding their lab.
	I mean, I introduced an amendment and it passed unanimously, but it's never become law because the House of Representatives never took up the bill.
	Unbelievable.
	Let me ask you this.
	Do you believe, you know Joe Manchin pretty well.
	Do you believe Joe Manchin, do you believe Kristen Sinema are going to hold the line on this $3.5 trillion bill, which I guess now has turned into a $1.7 trill or $1.9 trillion bill?
	Do you believe they'll stay strong on the issue of keeping the filibuster, or do you think they'll try and get rid of it?
	And what other power grabs do you potentially see?
	I think they're sincere, and I know what it likes to stand up to people in your own party and to stand up against a majority.
	So I think they are showing some courage.
	Now, I'm not promising you that the end result that they vote for is going to be a whole lot better.
	It's going to be less evil, but it's still going to be bad for the country.
	Whether we borrow $2 trillion or $3.5 trillion, even if they whittle it down to $2 trillion, my guess is they do it by not counting the out years.
	So instead of a 10-year bill, we're going to have a two-year bill that looks like it costs less, but over $10, it's still going to cost the same.
	And if you put in these permanent free stuff, free college, free daycare, free cell phones, all the free stuff they're offering, once that becomes permanent and becomes part of the mandatory spending, Congress never ever does anything to rein it in.
	So I truly think this is a really bad bill, whether it's $2 trillion or $3.5 million.
	But I do commend them for at least standing up against the really strong pool of the socialist wing of their party.
	Pretty unbelievable times we're living in.
	Senator Ram Paul, Kentucky, great job.
	You're right.
	Fauci lied.
	I wish he would get the proper justice, which would be being fired, but I don't see that coming.
	Anyway, appreciate you being with us, 800-941.
	Sean, you want to join us?
	Quick break right back.
	You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show, and stay tuned.
	More memorable moments, interesting guests, and a lot of fun coming up next.

	Anyway, appreciate you being with us.
	800-941-Sean, you want to join us?
	Quick break right back.
	You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show, and stay tuned.
	More memorable moments, interesting guests, and a lot of fun coming up next.
	And we continue.
	John Rich joins us, of course, a big and rich and the host of The Pursuit on FoxNation.com.
	You know, it's interesting.
	Whether you disagree or disagree, it's not even a debate anymore about vaccs or dome facts.
	It's not, because they made up their mind.
	And so at this point is, is there another solution that we can save people from losing their careers and their jobs and their benefits and their pensions?
	I'm looking at the human side.
	You know, I don't, listen, I get a flu shot every year and people, half my friends think I'm nuts.
	Linda thinks I'm nuts.
	And then the other half of my friends think they do the same thing.
	But you have these discussions.
	I don't know why people make the decisions they make, but clearly nobody's going to be able to convince them at this point.
	I don't believe.
	Everything that can be said has been said.
	Well, that is correct.
	And at the end of the day, the harder the government tries to force feed people and can cattle prod them into a decision that they're not comfortable with, the stiffer their necks are going to get.
	And this comes down to individual freedom.
	Listen, Sean, we know that vaccinated people can still catch the virus and they can still spread the virus.
	That's been established.
	We know these things.
	So people take all of it into account and they make up their own decision.
	Listen, but I'm saying this.
	Sean, there's a million people a weekend cramming into college football stadiums and they're not wearing masks and they're not having to show vax papers and they're not having to take a PCR test before they walk in.
	But the police have to and the nurses have to.
	They weren't vaccinated last year when they were out being the heroes.
	So it's all nonsense and it's hypocrisy and it is causing major division in this country and it's not going to end well if somebody doesn't pull the rip cord and allow people to be free again.
	John Rich, we appreciate you being with us.
	Redneck Verviera Whiskey, The Pursuit on FoxNation.com, Fox Business Network.
	Thank you, sir, for being with us.
	Charlie Daniels, your next interview, it's going to be a blockbuster.
