Okay. In a few moments, we’ll talk with Eric Metaxas. Eric Metaxas is a well known radio host and author. This time his book is called Fish Out of Water, Fish Out of Water. And it’s a book kind of a memoir, memoir, and it’s available everywhere you buy books. We’ll talk with Eric Metaxas about that, and you can go to EricMetaxas.com to see.
We’ll also talk with Dr. Brett M. Decker. Dr. Decker is, of course, our regular guest. We’ll talk with him about the topic I’m about to broach with you, and that is this, this topic. It’s so clearly one of the most egregious things we’ve ever seen in American political life, in media.
And let’s get into it. It’s this: was and did the Wuhan Virus come out of Wuhan? You recall, about a year ago, President Donald Trump was absolutely attacked, relentlessly attacked over the idea that he referred to the disease, the COVID, COVID-19 it was called, that it was coming from Wuhan in China. And he called it the Wuhan flu, the Woo flu, the Kung flu. That was a particularly shocking to the media.
And because Trump, he disputed some of the experts who said there was no real proof that this virus came out of the Wuhan lab in China. And he said, Yeah, I’ve seen enough that makes me think it’s probable. I think that’s how he said it.
Well, now, all this time later, over a year later now. We have evidence emerging that at least two people who worked at the Wuhan lab went home in 2019 with symptoms of something like COVID.
And we now have growing evidence that this did emerge from the lab, that it didn’t come from wet markets or whatever else. And what we don’t know yet, by the way, we should be clear, is we don’t know if it was intentional. We don’t know if it was accidental. We don’t know any of that.
But at this point, we have no reason to believe the Chinese Communists at the regime that they’re telling us the truth. There’s nothing in their recent record, that makes us feel like, Oh, Yeah, they’re shooting straight with us, nothing. That’s not even a real thing.
And so now the mainstream media, Big Tech. Excuse me, Big Media is now, the Fake News, is now literally trying to rewrite history. And remember, let’s pause for a moment. President Trump said that, and it became like a contest. Could they get another speaker, another interviewer, who would say how offensive this was?
Meanwhile, by the way, for 100 years, we’ve talked of the Spanish Flu. The Spanish flu, by the way, I don’t think it started. I think it’s actually most people think it started, the first big outbreak might have been in Portugal, but it was called the Spanish Flu, because that’s where the big coverage of it started.
So it’s not like the naming of these things happens sort of in some specific way. There’s not a naming authority. But if you you watched you saw the World Health Organization, you saw the international organization, international community, rise up and defend the idea that we had to call it something else, COVID or Coronavirus, COVID-19.
And, you know, frankly, it’s very effective to change the name. If the disease was called Wuhan virus or the China virus or the Chinese virus. I think actually, someone said that China virus was a fairer or name.
Certainly that’s where it emerged, whatever the reason. But it would associate this situation with the rivalry, at the very least you can call it that, with China, with Communist regime. Because, remember, the Communist regime right now has a track record.
For the last 10 years or so, they’ve been sending fentanyl into our country. The Communist regime, which controls their economy and therefore controls who makes fentanyl and therefore knows who’s making the fentanyl that’s sent into America and kills between 50, 60, 70 thousand people a year.
We know that the Chinese regime has done a wholesale intellectual property theft or appropriation. Sometimes they do it by a contract. They force businesses to do it, and shame on the businesses that go ahead. But other times they just steal it.
We know that the Communist regime has a bunch of people in camps, Uighers Muslims, because they don’t like their religion. That we know that there’s persecution of the Christian churches. We know that the Falun Gong, the practitioners of Falun Gong, have been targeted.
We know all these things. We know all of them, right. We know it’s very clear. And yet we were pressured to not be so darn difficult. So darn tough. So darn harsh as to call this virus.
But back to the bigger the overlay here. The media is now racing to rewrite their history, to say that they didn’t actually dispute the characterization. They just thought that Trump was rushing to judgment or they actually thought there was something wrong. And they really didn’t.
Look, the Chinese regime was not forthcoming with what happened. They have a record of lying to us regularly. That’s what they do. And so we shouldn’t be surprised that now when we’re trying to figure out exactly what happened and some facts are coming out, that there’s still not telling the truth.
Now we’re finally getting some of the evidence that the labs in Wuhan were actually getting funding, at least through the World Health Organization or others, that we were encouraging some kind of development.
Again, we don’t know yet if this was a weapon, but one of the things that I haven’t understood is either they’re lying about the Chinese people’s recovery or they’ve been able to get it under control faster than anywhere else in the world. And I don’t think it’s just because they had everybody able to quarantine. I wonder if we’re going to find out at some point that the disease has a higher incidence or has an incidence of affecting certain people more.
It could just be, by the way, that the comorbidities that the disease takes advantage of, like, obesity, are more prevalent in Western countries, like America. I mean, there’s not a lot of obesity in China. That’s not something you see much of. And so maybe that’s the only difference.
But if you could develop a virus that was targeted to hurt America or hurt the West, it looks a lot like what they did. It seems to have some of them. But anyway, we don’t know that yet. But now we at least know that we haven’t been told the truth. I mean, we have concrete evidence of that.
So now the question is, if we’re going to get to the bottom of the Wuhan virus, we cannot trust the media to do it. They’re not trustworthy. We cannot trust at this point, the Communist regime to tell us. So who are we going to trust?
Is there anyone that’s going to get to the bottom of this? Is there anyone in Congress that’s going to start having hearings? Couldn’t the Congress, instead of pretending that they they care about January 6th and the so-called insurrection that lie, a big lie about that?
Instead, can you imagine if we had… Let’s have a House and Senate committee hold hearings on when the Communist regime knew about the Wuhan lab and what they did about it? And let’s get to the bottom of whether they were complicit in putting Americans in danger.
That would be a good use of our time. That would be a good use of Congress’s power. Can you imagine get to the bottom of who knew what and when and see what the answers are.
Again, that seems to me to be investigations that are really necessary. And frankly, if we get to the bottom of it and we find out that people knew or should have known something? Good, good. World Health Organization, whoever else, let’s see what we can find out about who knew what and when and get to the bottom of it.
I think that would be a really smart thing to do. I think we can do it. And I think we should try very hard to make that the reality going forward.
All right, everybody, that’s what we’re looking at today. We’re going to come back, and we’ll talk with Eric Metaxas. We’ll also talk with Dr. Brett M. Decker and a lot more.
