Ladies and gentlemen, the following segment of the podcast is presented exclusively by Hillsdale College.

Thank you for listening and my sincere appreciation to our brothers and sisters at Hillsdale for their great sponsorship.

He's here. Now broadcasting from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-descript building.

We've once again made contact with our leader, Mike. Love them.

Well, here's an idea. How about a commission to study the origins of COVID-19 and the fact that it came from a laboratory in China and that Fauci was okay with studying gain a function because hey, if it leads to a pandemic, it leads to a pandemic. Good evening.

Welcome. This is the mark that then show the great one is off tonight. It's me, Rich, Zioly with you from Marksham, town of Philadelphia. Great to be with you on this Memorial Day weekend. 877-381-3811 is the number Marcus back on Tuesday.

Yeah, it came out today that Fauci, Dr. Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease doctor, you have to say that it's the law. You have to always say that. The nation's leading infectious disease doctor once argued for risky viral experiments.

Even if even if they can lead to a pandemic, you know, this guy talks at a both sides of his mouth and he has been dodging this and misleading everybody on this and denying it.

And he's the one really from day one who's been saying that this virus came from nature. This virus that has affected your life, my life, everybody's life.

I've been New Jersey. I broadcasted out of Philadelphia, but in my state of New Jersey today was the first day we were able to take off our masks and go in the stores and it felt so liberating and I went in there and I walked around and I was the only person without a mask on.

Even though you're allowed to take your mask off now, but maybe where you are, maybe you've had freedom for a while now. Maybe you're in Florida, maybe you're lucky enough.

But unfortunately, maybe you're hearing me right now in California and you still don't have any freedom. My heart goes out to you. I get it. Believe me. I get it. We have been under these lockdowns and we've had these restrictions on us now for 15 months and it all comes down to a very, very simple question.

How did this happen? How did we get here? And what could we have done to have avoided this and stop it? And from day one, I always thought, you know what? This seems a little too convenient.

I mean, I think that this Institute of Virology is right down the street from the so-called wet market, which is basically a grocery store. It's an outdoor market. It's a flea market. It's an outdoor food market like a farmer's market or if you're in Philly, you know, redding terminal market back in the day.

It's to be outdoors, but with more disgusting food with things like bats and penguins and things like that, even though these bats were not at that market. But from day one, people like me and maybe people like you who questioned the origin of this virus, you recall the conspiracy quack.

They told the take off the tin foil hat you recall the Trumper and just those crazy Trumpers with all their crazy theories. And because whatever Trump said they had to be against it, the minute that Trump came out and said president Trump came out and said it might have come from a lab.

They said, Oh, no way. It can't. In fact, it's racist for you to suggest it.

And now suddenly, and it's amazing how this has happened. Now suddenly everybody's realizing the same thing. Yeah, this came from a lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, right down the street from the wet market, just like I thought maybe you thought too.

And the guy who's been denying this the most the entire time is Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease doctor who from day one has said, no, no, this came from nature nature kept saying it over and over again.

Now it's very likely it came from nature. Now we know that he was funding the very research that we've been criticizing this entire time, so called gain a function research to try to figure out if they can they can tinker with the viruses a little bit in the lab so that they can, you know, just in case there's ever an outbreak and that sort of thing.

A lot of people have said, well, why are we messing with viruses in the first place? Why are we doing this? Is this seem a little dangerous for us to pay for countries like China, to hate us, to mess with viruses? Doesn't that seem a little bit dangerous?
