The talk show that's getting you talking, you're with Brian Kilmeade.

We should be demanding answers, and the first thing that we should be doing is demanding that China

0:11.0

end its massive cover-up. From day one, what they have been doing is destroying samples,

0:16.2

hiding records, imprisoning status in journalists. They have universal gag order on

0:22.0

scientists making it illegal for them to say or write anything about the origins of the pandemic.

0:26.8

So we need to be demanding the answers. And the reason why it's so important is the same reason

0:32.4

why we try to understand why every plane crashes. It's not that we can save that plane, but when

0:38.7

we understand what went wrong, that gives us the upper hand of preventing that from happening.

0:43.7

Again, if we don't get to the bottom of this, we are at risk for another pandemic that could be

0:48.3

even far worse than this one. Jamie Metzl and he says, hey, listen, I'm a progressive. There's

nothing to do with Democrats Republicans. I work for President Obama. I'm advised to the WHO.

the origin of COVID. And I learned a ton. I read it two or three times. It's very detailed.

1:12.5

And I believe he agrees with that premise from Jamie Metzl. Nicholas Wade, welcome to the

1:17.2

Brian Killmeat Show. Thanks, Brian. So I guess that's the premise, right? Let's at the very

1:23.7

least find out how it happened to make sure it doesn't happen again. Absolutely. That's extremely

1:29.1

important. So what could you tell our listeners about what you know about the origins of this virus?

1:37.9

Well, what I said in my article very briefly was about two scenarios. It emerged naturally

1:43.4

or escape from a lab. We've got no direct evidence for either scenario. But if you look at the

1:49.3

evidence we do have and ask which explains the evidence better. In my view, lab escape explains all

1:56.9

the available facts much more easily than the other scenario. So that's where we are. And I think
