of steps backwards. the whole argument that the left, the democrats in the media used to make against president trump when he was in office with he standing up to china. he s confronting china but he s going it alone and these not working with allies and that s not a good strategy. biden said he d be different. he would work with allies in order to bring them together to confront china. exactly the opposite happened. the statements on china were weaker than we have seen before. the central goal of confronting the central strategic question facing america and the world, biden totally failed to mobilize allies against china. that s long-term disaster for america and the world. shannon: jessica, what do you think he needs to do? back-and-forth that president trump was too comfortable with vladimir putin, he was too easy on him but when you look at sanctions and other things, it doesn t match up with the rhetoric. he said i think we should have a relationship that i m going to
will be some sort of independent investigation which i know is kind of an oxymoron when you re talking about china but that we will be able to dig deeper and with the w.h.o. has done it. the new york times, reporter just called up the wuhan lab and thought i will see if i can get through to someone and talked to one of the top virologists. definitely taking the ccp line so we know people are going to be as protective as possible about what s happened there but we certainly need to get to the bottom of it and i imagine that we will have some sort of reevaluation of gain of function research. not tying u.s. culpability to this, that is strong at this point but i think it will be an international discussion going forward if an accident like this could happen again. shannon: yeah. many more questions than answers but we are getting new clues every day getting a better picture of the puzzle. jessica and steve, thank you both very much.
