♪♪ maria: welcome back. the omicron variant is proving to be much harder to pin down than expected. even if it is less virulent andless sickening, for many it is playing out with mild, flu-like symptom. the virus has sickened millions across the world and has killed more than 800,000 americans in the last year and a half. and yet president biden refuses to press chinese president xi jinping about its origins and how it leaked from that lab. we traveled to palm beach, florida, this weekend to catch up with president trump, and i asked him about the virus. >> i think the origins are so obvious. they came out of the wuhan lab, and i think if anybody thinks anything differently, they're just kidding themselves. so you can ask -- china hasn't paid. they have to do something. they have to pay reparations. and china doesn't have the money
