I\u2019ve always viewed China as an adversary. In fact, I think once COVID really started, someone leaked some Chinese intelligence where they looked at all the governors, and I was one of like five governors that were considered the most hostile to the CCP. It\u2019s true. I mean, it\u2019s true. At the same time, even with that, that background, if you look at how all of this, this comes out of this lab and Wuhan, they basically have the, WHO is in the pocket of the Communist Party of China. They basically were having everybody look the other way, the WHO, a lot of the U.S. researchers, we see that in Fauci\u2019s emails, unfortunately, with folks. And so the idea was to try to whitewash the role of the CCP in this virus. And it wasn\u2019t just WHO, it wasn\u2019t just bureaucracies, you saw the academic community largely circle the wagons and defend the CCP, you saw corporate media. Remember, there were \u201960 Minutes,\u2019 not the most credible news source I think we\u2019ve come to find out in Florida, they did a thing saying, \u2018Oh, no lab leak,\u2019 and they use the one guy\u2013who is probably would have been partially culpable for ensuring this type of gain of function research\u2013as the reason why. So they would say it\u2019s a conspiracy theory, without any basis to say that, and then they would say, oh, it obviously just came from a bat in a wet market without any evidence that ultimately supported that and you gotta wonder why were they so insistent on trying to characterize this leaking from a lab as a conspiracy theory? Yes, part of it was, you know, the number one instinct for corporate media for the four years was, anything Trump said they were against, no matter what. Trump could say the sky is blue, they would say no, that\u2019s false, and then try to go\u2013 So that was part of it. That\u2019s just their instinct. They wanted to weaponize COVID against Trump. But I think it was more than that. I do think it\u2019s, there\u2019s deeper relationship between these big media conglomerates, financial relationships between them, and the and the Chinese government. And I think that that also was a big reason why they tried to whitewash that, but when you see all the different ways in which and then, of course, big tech was censoring people who wanted to have inquiries into the lab leak theory, you get taken down off social media, if you said that, and of course, the Chinese Communist Party, they were the leading proponent of lockdowns, they were advocating them for Italy and all this other stuff. When you were criticizing lockdowns last March or April, you would get deplatformed or you would get censored by social media companies. And so they\u2019ve run interference for the CCP, multiple times, these are some of the biggest, most powerful companies in the world. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And then I don\u2019t even need to discuss, you know, these entertainers and the athletes and these business people. If you\u2019re somebody that will light your hair on fire, because Georgia is requiring voter ID, but yet you\u2019re lining your pocket with money from China and not a peep about the slave labor that\u2019s going on over there, you, my friend are a hypocrite, and you\u2019re not somebody that should be taken seriously. And yet, that seems to be the normal course of things. And I think a lot of these companies, you know, who\u2019ve tried to become woke and try to basically get in with some of these far-left activists when it comes to things like voter ID, they have a really hard time explaining how if that\u2019s the line in the sand for them, how they could possibly have these business relationships that they do in China and specifically with the Chinese Communist Party, because you don\u2019t get to have big business relationships there unless you have the imprimatur of the CCP. So I think what the legislature did was great. It was long overdue, but particularly, I don\u2019t see how anyone could have lived through the last year and a half and not come to the conclusion that there\u2019s something fundamentally wrong about how this regime is influencing so many different institutions and industries around the world. And so today, Florida says, \u2018We\u2019re fighting back and we\u2019re going to make sure the laws of this state reflect that.\u2019 Thanks, everybody.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
