The House Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus held another hearing on Tuesday, trying to discern what the available intelligence tells us about China’s involvement in the pandemic’s origins. While some government agencies like the FBI and Department of Energy maintain that COVID-19 likely resulted from a lab leak in Wuhan, this week’s hearing featured testimony from the former Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, who said the lab leak theory is the “only explanation” for the origins of the pandemic. Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) joins the podcast to discuss the latest committee reports, why he believes there is a ‘preponderance of evidence’ supporting the lab leak theory, and how we can come to conclusion on COVID origins with China actively withholding information.
Thirty years ago today, the Waco siege–a 51-day standoff between the Branch Davidians religious group and federal agents–came to a deadly end. Shortly after the FBI’s raid on April 19th, 1993, a fire broke out inside the compound which killed 76 people. David Koresh, the cult’s leader, was accused of stockpiling illegal weapons and abusing children. Retired ATF Senior Special Agent Blake Boteler was at the siege and joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss his experience, why he thinks the group committed mass suicide, and how the events sparked an anti-government movement.
