U.S. Senator Roger Marshall joined America's Newsroom on Fox News to discuss the Senate committee hearing on the origins of Covid-19 and the importance of transparency and accountability to prevent future pandemics. For nearly four years, Senator Marshall has raised concerns about the federal government's role in gain-of-function research funded by U.S. taxpayers and conducted in Wuhan, China labs. He emphasized his commitment to uncovering the virus's origins and preventing similar occurrences.

Senator Marshall has worked across party lines, underscoring that this is a matter of national security rather than a partisan issue. During his appearance on Fox News, he was joined by Jamie Metzl, Ph.D., a Democrat who served in the Clinton National Security Council. Over several years, they have developed a collaborative relationship focused on investigating Covid-19's origins.

Highlights from Senator Marshall’s interview include:

“First of all, we need to remember why this is so important. We need to find out the origins of Covid-19 so it doesn’t happen again, so we honor the million Americans who lost their lives and get some closure for their family, and the 15 million Americans with long Covid.”

“There is a lengthy amount of evidence that suggests and really proves that this virus was made there in the lab in Wuhan, China. We’re going to talk about that today. And then we need to get to a 9/11 style commission, get this out of the bright lights and cameras of D.C. and take it to someplace like Kansas City and investigate it further."

"Americans always assume the best of people, but whenever you’re funding research in Wuhan, China, anywhere in China, you have to realize that the military is intimately involved with this one way or another. And for all we know, they’re developing bioweapons."

"Everything about this virus points that it was manmade; we paid for the research to develop a protein spike that was eventually used to make the protein spike for SARS-CoV-2 and insert a Furin cleavage site."

"We taught China how to do it. We gave them the mice to study. That’s why this is a national security issue. We need to stop doing research with our enemies."
