Summary

The idea that the coronavirus originated in a Wuhan lab in China, was once considered a conspiracy theory by media outlets and social media platforms, but now there is growing evidence it could be true. Facebook is the latest to get backlash after its past efforts to censor any story or information on the Wuhan lab theory, as the company only recently halted its restriction of information on the story. Fox News contributor and a columnist for The Hill, Joe Concha and Democratic Strategist Leslie Marshall, weigh in on the Wuhan lab leak theory, big tech censorship and cancel culture. In the past few weeks, the U.S. has seen cyberattacks on the rise, the most recent cases being the ransomware attacks on the world's largest meal supplier JBS and the Colonial Pipeline Company. As American businesses struggle to combat the threats from cyberattacks, the White House says President Biden will raise this issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin at their joint summit in Switzerland. Cybersecurity consultant and Board Member of George Washington University's Center For Cyber and Homeland Security, Michael Balboni, joins to discuss the recent cyberattacks on American infrastructure, how the attacks have become easier for criminals to carry out and what actions need to be taken to bolster American cybersecurity. Plus, commentary by FOX News contributor Liz Peek. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
