Gutfeld segment revives lab-leak claims, Fauci criticism amid new DNI documents

Jun 24, 2026

The segment features Greg Gutfeld and guests (Tom Shillue, Brian Kilmeade, Joe DeVito, Kat Timpf) discussing the COVID-19 pandemic as the result of a lab leak from gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, allegedly funded or enabled by Anthony Fauci. They criticize Fauci for influencing intelligence assessments and the 'Proximal Origin' paper to suppress the lab-leak theory, media censorship, and lasting societal impacts, while calling for accountability and noting new declassified documents. The discussion relies on panel opinions, analogies, and references to congressional testimony and recent DNI releases under Tulsi Gabbard, with no outside experts or counter-sources presented.

Gabbard declassifies docs alleging Fauci role in Wuhan research funding, origins cover-up

Jun 19, 2026

The segment covers DNI Tulsi Gabbard's June 18, 2026 release of declassified documents on her final day in office, alleging Fauci oversaw US taxpayer funding for gain-of-function research at Wuhan Institute of Virology and manipulated intelligence to hide lab-leak origins of COVID-19. Rand Paul praises the release and reiterates calls for DOJ prosecution. Hosts debate accountability, Fauci's mask/distancing statements, Biden's 2025 pardon, and whether evidence supports charges. One host asserts lab leak is proven; another notes ongoing uncertainty and scientific community nuance.
