administration had the intelligence community put together concerning the origins of covid-19 is that the it did not match the unclassified version. so we believe that the classified version and unclassified version not matching leads people it is, you know, having americans with the wrong impression. so what we did is we went into pluckily-available information publicly-available information, and we flagged things we don t believe the intelligence community has commented on it s certainly not something that they pursued. we ve identified them as, look, not only is the i.c. hiding information in the classified report they re not sharing with americans which, absolutely, it should be declassified, but we also believe there are things they should look at, and that is what our report is about. you can go to the minority portion of the intelligence community s web site, you can read the report and our foot notes and find that all of these are publicly available sources. maria: we have
intel community down played important information related to possible links between covid-19 and china s bio weapons research based in part on input from outside experts. what that means is that you believe there is a possibility that a bio weapons program in china, that may have been the point, not with intent, but the point of creation of covid-19. is that where we re headed? i think it s becoming increasingly clear that at the wuhan institute of virology they were playing with coronavirus and altering the substance of it doing gain-of-function research and u.s. taxpayers dollars were funding part of this research. the i.c. review we found serious deficiencies with it. they presented the idea there was broad consensus there was no relation to a bio weapons program. however, they didn t disclose their confidence levels in that assessment and didn t disclose
the work of something called the fifth institute, a division of the pla that specifically focuses on bio weapons research. we re also learning more in our review about certain key individuals like a pla major general who happened to kill himself a year after the virus was released. so we don t believe the i.c. has done its job thoroughly and we need more transparency and will continue exploring this and demanding answers when we re in the majority in a few weeks here and use our subpoena powers if necessary. the american people demand answers for where this pandemic started. bill: thank you for your time and we ll talk again soon as we ve said in this program for the world to move on without an answer would be foolish. mike gallagher, thanks in wisconsin today. here is dana. dana: severe winter storm blasting the northeast unleashing blizzard conditions for millions. we re live in one of the hardest hit areas next. the immigration crisis.
any time soon. a lot of the politicians that try to look cool on tiktok embarras themselves. we can explain the role that tiktok is playing, the national security threat it poses, i mentioned censorship of news, the ability to manipulate the news and ability to track your location, track your key strokes. track what websites you re visiting even when you aren t on the app. the reason fcc commissioner called it digital fentanyl because it is highly addictive and destructive and traced back to china. that s the fundamental issue. when you have a company at the whim of the ccp that s the issue. bill: they get access to your contacts and everything else you ve got there. that s what you need to explain to young people who have grown up with the digital device. quickly on covid, house intel committee report on the origins of covid. we aren t there yet but maybe get there eventually. the committee believes the i.c.
even in 2021 we found the state department came out and said that the scientists from the institute that are associated with the military were publishing articles associated with the wuhan institute of varology. the association has been clearly identified throughout. in their report in the i.c. s report they said there is a broad agreement that covid-19 was not developed as a bio weapon. they don t give us any level of confidence on that. which they do with their other theories. they also give us know basis for this. so there is so much information that is out there, we want to get more out to the american people and hope to declassify what we ve put together. right now we have an unclassified report. bill: let me jump in a moment. i think i m reading a critical line from the report saying we have not seen any credible indication that the virus was intentionally rather than accidentally released. which would suggest absent of
