criminal investigation to hunter biden's taxing and his corrupt business dealings in china. soon. biden fired a new defense lawyer, chris clark, former federal prosecutor, the day that hunter biden's father was sworn in as president, this man was appointed by biden administration to lead the i have doing, nicholas quaid, another partner at the same law firm, you say, what it is big deal? the big deal is hunter biden's deficient lawyer, new head of doj criminal division they worked together, on multiple cases, including one they were still working on together when mcquaid got the doj kid, in his new role health oversee criminal investigations including one in to hunter biden. is this some kind of a joke? it is not obvious, and outrageous conflict of interest, of course, but it looks worse. was nicholas mcquaid given his new role at department of justice by the new president's team in order to protect the president's son? imagine it is last year, john johnjr. was caught dodging taxed president trump put rudy guliani to overlook it. you know what would have happened. democrat most likely will try to impeach of president over it. instead, because is president joe biden, who put his son's defense lawyers business partner in charge, no one cares, what is this? a banana republic? here to help us, fox news language -- legal analyst gregg jarrett, if i wrong thinking this is insane? >> it is what i anticipated. cynic or a skeptic would say that the fix is in there are thousands of qualitied lawyers who could have filled this position. heading up to the criminal division overseeing joe biden's son criminal investigations. of all the people, that joe biden picked, on his very first day in office is nicholas mcquaid, who has a close association with hunter biden's lawyers, they work together on white collar criminal defense cases, whether or not to defend -- to defend hunter biden, no one is saying, this is a flagrant conflict of interest. in violation of department of justice rules and recession -- regulations at the least it creates the appearance of i'm pro priority. when you have that is is mandatory that you disqualify yourself. and yet we heard nothing about mcquaid recuses himself. this is why i was so critical of bill barr recusing. >> thank you greg. let's look at the anatomy of that start with the recusal that you pointed out. is mandatory. when would you expect to see that happen should that have already happened in and what pressure can anyone put on mcquaid to recuse himself. >> it should have been instantly, only pressure now applied by the senate judiciary with a strong letter demanding mcquaid recuse himself and officially on the record. that is about the only way that -- that you can get a situation in which. you know this investigation is not subject to undue influence. i suspect this is going to be part of a question and answers that republicans will have from merit garland during his confirmation hearing, the promises that no one including mcquaid will entire fear and demand, they should demand mcquaid's recusal. steve: there are layer. because, even if they follow the rules, do the recusal. it seems that is a classic swamp version of pro priority. , sent a signal to everyone involved about how they want to handled they want president's son protected. steve: i think it does. >> the media would be howling, this is not easily dismissed as hunter biden would have you believe. simply a tax affair matter as if they will pay a fine, that is it no, there is a grand jury investigation, that means which say criminal case, they are are looking at hunter receipt up to 5 million-dollars from a chinese company. that smacks of money laundering. the feds got to case flew government and industry department suspicious activity reports, they are looking at every from tax evasion, to tax fraud to conspiracy to commit fraud. >> one more point. remember we have witnesses who have gone on record. multiple times saying this involves the current president, he is involved in these business deals, we don't know how, but those allegations have been made. the whole thing is quite unbelievable, gregg thank you so much for helping us understand. we'll keep pressure up and hope to see you again as this unfolds. >> sure all right. steve: let's get to our special investigation on the origins of coronavirus. over last two weeks we have shown you evidence that points toward most likely origin of the pandemic, risky research, commissioned by our own nih that were subcontracted to wuhan area. we have study them and better prepare our defenses. in 2014 after a number of dangerous lab leaks, obama administration placed a moratorium on the gain of function research, but they carried on funding it regardless, three payments made totally 1.8 million while the ban was in place. payment, to echo health alliance, run by peter dasak, that subcontracted to wuhan group of viral -- virologies that had worked with him to track down the source of the 2002 sars epidemic. we know the work that wuhan carried out it is detailed in a paper tied to the original grant. they analysis the bat coronavirus, and sequenced genetic information, and new viruses and they infected human cells with them in the lab, then showed their man-made virus could replicate the virus. after that, they published a payment saying that pandemic virus is similar to one they had in their library, they said they just found it but the virus they claim to have found was a 100% match for a bat coronavirus they found in a mine years ago, while investigating a deadly sars-like respiratory illness that killed 3 miners who came into close contact with bat feces. it was reported in january, that this year, that platformer deputy national security add adr to trump, privately told to a group that growinged about of evidence supports idea that virus leaked from the wuhan lab. former member of mi6 said it was an engineered escaper, not iing other than it was an accident. and warns that wuhan lab it safety and management weaknesses, according to state department, workers in the lab got covid symptoms in fall of 2019. they were first identified cases of the outbreak. chinese regime was concerned about all evidence pointing to the lab, that in february last year they replaced the head of the institute with head of bioweapons program, and evidence was destroyed as cbs news reported the other -- nbc news reported the other week. >> with 20,000 entries, which may have offered important clues about what chinese was studying, taken down, last spring. a senior lab tomorrow said it official said itwas removed for. steve: over a year has gone by without serious investigation to the lab leak -- high positions. >> even america scientists are afraid to speak out they are worried to their funding cut, but it is changing, two days ago. "washington post" ra'anan an exe ed corpsial including every key point in the pieces that we have broadcast over last two weeks. the link 2 the mine and cover-up and secrety was what was going on, like us, the "washington post" demanded answers. stanford university professor, won't on bill nye's podcast and detailed what we need. >> really need to do is to go to the laboratory in wuhan, and say, we absolutely need to look at everything in your freezers, all of the records of what was in your freezers, all of the data that you collected over the recent years, and including sequence information. on any sample you already looked at. steve: he is right, but, we got this instead. after the w.h.o. team did finally visit the wuhan lab, peter dasak, tweeted afterwards: >> oh, that is all right then. saying that quarantines were asked and answered, let's all go home now, job done. why isn't anyone ask the head of niaid, dr.anthony fauci and of these questions, he is barely off the airwaves, but asked question like this. >> what is your morning routine? >> i get up around 5:00, shave, shower, have breakfast, a quick look at papers, scan my e-mails and head off to the nih . steve: that is good to know, do you think we might be told why despite ban in place at the time our own government funded research, that looks like it led to worst globe at catastrophe in a run years and -- a hundred years and whether we're still funding it we reached out to nih and got a denial contradicted by published documents. if we wrong about this they have evidence to show, that why won't anyone from nihirks come on this show, and answer our questions, instead of hiding behind the statements. we will not stop until we get the answers. not to point fingers are flame anyone, we learn lessons that can help prevent next pandemic. ' far and wide, that next revolution. numbers me now, price we pay. professor of surgery, at johns hopkins, dr. marty makary. you have been following this story, i know you have seen our reports over last couple weeks, your overview, what do you make. what we're learning now. in terms of where the evidence points? about the origins of the pandemic? >> well, steve, i want to thank you for looking into this. i don't think that many people are aware of all of the parts that have not fit together, but the pieces of the puzzle are there. the question is, will we ever really know, and reality is, it would require cooperation from the chinese communist party, we have not seen that. we have seen request for source strain the actual vials used to the labs, not seen that provided by the ccp . we have not seen that provided by the laboratory there we have not seen it provide by dr. dasak task all requested by the nih it will require a lot of stuff that i'm not sure we'll be able to get. steve: and back to, i mentioned it, in my -- introduction, but state department fact sheet that was published which specified in clear terms, that the first people who got the disease, got covid, were those who worked at the institution. -- institute. they have a specific question on the end, any credible inquiry into origins of the virus must include interviews with these researchers at the lab, and a full accounting of previously unreported illness, that seems to be a far simpler ask, one that is more likely to be delivered. if it turns out first people that got the disease worked in the lab, just a -- you just before the outbreak. fall of 2019, that is something that will be easier to understand and get to the bottom of than all of this genetic information that seems so hard to get hold of. >> you know, any reasonable investigation of any kind would provide some protection for those speaking up, but we have seen over the last year and a half is that chinese communist party has retaliated gain anyone that has spoken up what are odds that one of few the 4 laboratories that handles dangerous virus is 5-miles from the wuhan hospital where the doctors were silenced, detained, and told not to speak up. they were forced to sign concessions, they were reprimanded. these thing are concerning. it points to the fact that there may be something there, if you look at original respect of the cases out of wuhan hospital, one published in the lancet over a third of the cases with no con- connection with the wuhan food market, there are a lot of pieces that should fit but there is not evidence to make them feet. >> right. we'll be pushing for them, great to see you, i know you will follow, and hopeful we can talk about it wa more information in the future, dr. marty makary thank you. >> thank you. steve: all right, coming up, a democrat next. ♪ piano playing ♪ ♪ “what the world needs now” ♪ ♪ is love, sweet love ♪ ♪ it's the only thing that there's just too little of ♪ ♪ what the world needs now is love, sweet love, ♪ ♪ no not just for some but for everyone.♪ steve: welcome back president biden relief plan includes 350 billion in emergency aid to state and local governments, they say they need the money because their budgets have been decimated by the pandemic, that does sound plausible, is it true? take my home state of california, last year despite pandemic california general fund tax revenue 30% above forecast tax revenue in november of 2020, actually higher than previous year. why do we need to shovel more money there? from u.s. tax payers. not to help california workers or families or small businesses. it is to bailout the government union that have a political strangle hold on democrat who control california. just like at what they have been ale toke track in exchange for donation, and acttism. >> some report say california spends about 9,000 a year per retired state employees and 8,000 a year per a dependent to luxury health insurance. add up to 5 billion in insurance subsidies alone. add it city, school and other agencies that is 10 billion a years that are is the attract, total -- extra, health insurance. not even luxury pension. like the retired l.a. assistance fire chief who raked in 1.4 million in a year, then you have. huge cost of the current salaries, of the public sector workforce. over a third of a million of them earn over 100 grand a year, remember barbara ferrier, l.a. public health boss. making 465,000 a year. that is what the 350 billion blue state bailout and biden's relief bill is about it is not a relief it a payoff, a payoff to the unions, legalized bribery and corruption, joining me tennessee senator marsha blackburn. what to you make of this. >> you of right. when you talk about california. having more money right now than they did this time last year, you know that this is not about covering. expenses. when luke at the fact for education, for example, when is a huge issue right now, because unions do not want to go back and teach in some of the flu bls and states, we have put 110 billion forward already for education. out of that money, you have got 4 billion-dollars thats had been pulled down for k-12 education, and 11 billion for higher education. so, there is no money in the pipeline they are using, then on top of this, you now have pelosi from california, schumer from new york, and what are they saying? we have got to have 350 billion-dollars because our state and local governments have no money. and we need to send money to them, just not true, state budgets in better shape than they were there time last year. >> outrageous -- keeping the you and your colleagues can do? >> one thing that we did do, this past week. when we had the bernie think about buster budget on the floor, we voted was to put some amendments into place that would restrict funding to illegal aliens, pushing back on the $15 an hour minimum wage, and continuing to build awareness with people, you know i thought it was really interesting you had richard trumka complaining about joe biden shutting down the keystone pipeline. and this is because everyone knows that best economic stimulus is the job. this state who are doing poorest have been the straights that are in lockdown, that will not open up. and you have a lot of people that are in the energy sector that realize what joe biden is doing is hurting the u.s. economy, and helping out china. steve: right. the point i made here, many times before not just a blue state bailout but a lockdown bailout, giving them money to continue with the lockdown when are overwhelmingly more restrictive in the blue states. let's make sure we try to win back control in both chambers. i want to talk senator, your sense of the mood right now it has been a tough few weeks. 'impeachment starting tomorrow, and a lot on republican side, what is mood right there, right now in congress? >> i think that mood is actually very hopeful. we know we have a fight on our hands, but there is a tremendous amount of buyers remorse from people who voted for joe biden. they are hearing more about the hunter biden issues, which you covered in the opening. they are looking at the executive ordersic like someone who vote for joe biden told me last week this makes me really nervous, i -- i wish he would not do these executive order, he promised unity, what you see is a demand from democrats, that we submit to the leftist agenda and confirm to what we're -- this is has people very unsettled, there is a lot of buyers remorse, it encourages those of us on the republican side of the aisle, to fight back to push back. to make 7 that we -- certain that we stand in the way of some this bad policy and keep it from happening. and you are right. taking back house and 18 is the -- senate in 2022 it is a must do. steve: you will be forefront of that battle great to see you thank you. >> good to see you. >> coming up new arch enemy of the squad, congr type 2 diabetes can have a big impact on your life. but how can it be prevented? well, the first step is knowing if you have prediabetes, a serious medical condition that puts you at high risk for type 2 diabetes. 1 in 3 american adults has prediabetes, but more than 80% don't know they have it. the good news is prediabetes can be reversed. and for many people, healthy changes in their daily routine can make a big difference. take the 1-minute risk test today at doihaveprediabetes.org steve: welcome back, aoc faced backlash this week for her depiction of her experience during the capitol riots, not a good week for nancy pelosi herself. she reportedly bypassed a political detector in the capitol. joining me carolina congresswoman nancy may, thank you so much. you really got into it, the thing that interested me, her reaction to you being in a very sober away pointing out facts, was really extreme. she came back at you with a series of really aggressive tweets. it said this person does not like being challenged. >> right, and honest to goodness, i started out after the media's depiction of her. and then very next day i just tweeted one sentence, said there were not insurrectionists in the mall way -- in the hallway, i was two doors down from here. and it has been mass hysteria and living rent free according to her as well. that is mind boggling it is not the american way. steve: i agree. it was weird. let's move on pelosi story. this is so typical. you know say one thing do another. rules for them not for me. >> do as i say, typical politics in dc. you know, clarity there is nothing constitutionally that is prohibit a seated member of congress from taking a vote, what we're doing -- unconstitutional, she the not live by her own rules, it is not surprising. steve: they will never change. i want to get into territory, i was talking with senator blackburn about that is looking ahead to future, you have just got there. but you know, frustrating for republicans to not have the power to do things -- >> we hear about unity, and yeah. people want to work together this a one way conversation right now. democrats just want it their way and only their way. steve: in terms of the republican party, it feels that there is a lot of focus on division. but i don't know, i feel like there is a lot to unify, i think that if you look at the what i describe positive populism. out of the trump years that focus on workers and america first there is a lot of policy items there. that i think the vast majority of party can get behind, and focus on, it a winning message. >> >> if we can get to past the division, and distractions, i this week, i was in a episode of jerry springer, we have to get our kids back in school, people to work. we have to get vaccinations in arms, there so much work to be done to get through the pandemic getture economy back and -- get our economy back, there is so much word we have to do, but we're distracted by this is a vision, and social media, it is a, it is very frustrating, because we're paid a good amount of money to do a job, we need to be working. steve: right. not going on -- we have the impeachment next week that is not helping. do you think that once that is out of the way, you and your colleagues can get back to that kind of positive focus you are talking about? >> we have to, if you want to win back the house in two years, and next week with impeachment, senate literally cannot do any other business while there a impeachment trial, we have to hit pause for the week next week. then, there are so many other opportunities to work together. an infrastructure package, i would love to see that in mccouple of months. -- in a couple of months, question is, with all money spent during covid-19, how to we pay for it no one is willing to talk about, that we could put a great package together, but how to we make cuts elsewhere to pay for it? >> steve: right, that is a great way to end it. something positive. please come back and talk with us more about that and other things, i think that people are yearning for that positive agenda. and real change. and i think that we have the right arguments, and right people, you are there. fighting for it too, great thank you. >> thank you so much, steve. steve: all right, coming joe biden seems to have selective memory with his former boss, president joe biden, we will bring you that story with charlie kirk next. steve: welcome back this week president joe biden made a huge fuss about reversing trump family separation policy, for years anyone point out that president joe biden did it too was accused of fake news, here is president joe biden, himself in his -- president obama in his own words complaining about issues that people pressed him on before 2010 midterms. here is a quote. young hispanics asked why by -- was separating families at border, let that ink in. in his own words, if his own moment memoir, acknowledging his own administration separatedded families at the border, joining me to reacted. charlie kirk, gate to see you. >> thank you. steve: what do you make of this? >> it is pretty stunning but predictable. i find interesting how the democrats use the topic of immigration to try to create enthusiasm among their base when there is a republican in office but they ignore it now when they occupy everyone part of our government. this is actually a huge success for the trump administration. something that i wish i would have heard themselve great more of the last couple months of their presidency from, building border wall to restricting immigration, that resulted in raising -- raising wages for middle class workers and also trump, if you might remember shut down the government to bring democrats to table to solve the problem. that president trump said, i am willing to solve the daca dreamer problem, why are you not willing to do it they didn't want to fix the real issue, which was the southern border issue, that would have prevented their dreamer creek creases, now democrats have a lot of explains to do, there seems to joe biden, some practices they condemned are now continuing. steve: right. other thing to add to your list, the -- everyone says his tweeting and so on, do you remember with one tweet, about potentially imposing tariffs on mexico, he persuaded mexican government to reenforce their southern border, which had a huge impact on the migration yflows coming to in, this is a - how democrats, they are all about virtue signaling, that i want to look come -- compassion at, but luke at data people who suffer most are i'm grabbing i'd communities they are already here. they are the ones that services are unavailable to them. >> you are right. and to have immigration policy that the democrats desire, you need to have growth. it is actually unrealistic when they want, they want open borders. it is amazing to see how people like bernie sanders moved on immigration, he used to be an immigration restrictionist, he wanted to make sure that -- he said it could hurt black and hispanic communities, i agreed with bernie sanders 10 or 15 years ago but democrat party made a decision, they don't care about the working class. instead they see some sort of a political opportunity by keeping the borders open, not good for wages or worker, not good for is the citizens, not good for the people that democrats pretend they representative, we know it can be an asset to america, when we disregard the working class of our country, weep our borders wide open, and do not address the illegal immigrant flow into america, then that, immigration is an issue for working people. steve, that is something that i think that democrats have really turned their back on there are base, something we need to keep talking about. because, immigration policy, they proposal have dangerous rompcasions for many people in the country. >> very well put. it is that and all other issues that help focus on working class. that pointed positive future for the republican party. in the years ahead, as democrats -- we have talked about that a lot in the past. i hope you can come back and talk to us about that. in the weeks ahead, thank you charlie. >> thank you. steve: all right biden swamp continues to fill up. this time with some key players, behind the russia hoax. sara carter is here with details. so you want to make the best burger ever?
