we did not fund a gain-of-function research at the wuhan institute of virology. i keep an open mind as to what the origin is. the cdc was responsible for those kinds of guidelines to schools, not me. would you have any reason to cover up any new scientific evidence relating to the origins of the covid-19 virus? absolutely not. john: a live look at capitol hill where dr. anthony fauci, the face of the federal response to the covid pandemic, as testifying publicly for the very first time since retiring from government service. it s been quite a hearing so far. hello, i m john roberts in washington. it begins a new week, sandra. sandra: welcome, everyone. i m sandra smith in new york and this is america reports. they ve been pressing fauci on everything, from gain-of-function research to what triggered the outbreak in the first place. john: 16 is quick to deny allegations he tried to cover up the possibility that the pandemic originated from a laboratory in china,
if she gets injured people won t watch. she is drawing so many eyeballs. we re talking about it. we would not have done this a year ago. dana: i know. kennedy changed my mind. kennedy just changed my opinion live on air because i was i don t like to see girls fight. i don t like it and i think she is being targeted and mean but i really appreciate the dignified way clark reacted. you are right. she is classy, she is all right. it is not a tea party. this wasn t just aggression in the game we love to see. kennedy, we had the conversation a year ago that we like them talking smack to each other because the men do it. why can t the women? the men play a more aggressive game. this isn t aggression. that was a dirty play. it was a slightly dirty play but not anything where she should be suspended or kicked off the team. she called her the b word. caitlin clark was talking trash before that hip check.
