WELCOME TO MEET THE PRESS NOW.
WE BEGIN WITH THE GROWING
TENSIONS BETWEEN UNITED STATES
AND CHINA.
U.S. OFFICIALS TELL US THAT NEW
INTELLIGENCE SUGGESTS CHINA IS
CONSIDERING PROVIDING ARTILLERY
AND AMMUNITION TO RUSSIA
MARKING A SIGNIFICANT
DEVELOPMENT IN THE WAR AS THE
FIGHTING ENTERS ITS SECOND YEAR.
OFFICIALS DIDN'T SAY WHAT
SPECIFIC EVIDENCE THEY HAD TO SUPPORT THAT INTELLIGENCE AT
SUPPORT THAT INTELLIGENCE AT
THE CIA DIRECTOR SAID OVER THE
WEEKEND THAT THE UNITED STATES
IS CONFIDENT THAT CHINESE
LEADERSHIP WOULD CONSIDER THE
MOVE AND HE SAID NO FINAL
DECISION HAS BEEN MADE AND
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ACTUAL
SHIPMENTS OF LETHAL AID AT THIS
TIME. THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR JAKE SULLIVAN SAID ANY
ADVISOR JAKE SULLIVAN SAID ANY
SHIPMENT WOULD ALIENATE CHINA
ON THE WORLD STAGE.
>> I DON'T THINK IT IS IN
CHINA'S INTEREST TO DO THIS.
I THINK IT WOULD ALIENATE THEM
FROM A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES IN
THE WORLD INCLUDING OUR
EUROPEAN ALLIES AND PUT THEM
FOR SQUARE INTO THE CENTER OF
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE KINDS OF
WAR CRIMES AND BOMBARDMENT THAT
CIVILIANS AND ATROCITIES THAT
THE RUSSIANS ARE COMMITTING AND
THEIR WEAPONS WOULD BE USED FOR
THE SLAUGHTER OF PEOPLE IN
UKRAINE AND I THINK IT WOULD BE
ILL-ADVISED FOR CHINA TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH THAT IS A DECISION
THAT BEIJING WILL HAVE TO MAKE.
>> CHINA IS ACCUSING THE UNITED
STATES OF SPREADING
DISINFORMATION AND BLAMING IT
FOR PROVIDING WITH WEAPONS AND
THE U.S. HAS DEFENDED IT.
BEIJING IS MEANWHILE TRYING TO
POSITION ITSELF AS A MEDIATOR
IN THE WAR IN UKRAINE LAST WEEK
UNVEILING A PEACE PLAN THAT CALLS FOR A CEASE-FIRE BETWEEN
CALLS FOR A CEASE-FIRE BETWEEN
RUSSIA AND UKRAINE.
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY SAID HE
WANTS TO MEET WITH THE CHINESE
PRESIDENT AND THE UNITED STATES AND THE WEST HAVE DISMISSED THE
AND THE WEST HAVE DISMISSED THE
PLAN AS TO FAVORABLE TOWARD
MOSCOW AND PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID
HE HADN'T SEEN ANYTHING IN THE
PLAN THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL
FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN RUSSIA
AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY
ADVISOR HAD THIS TO SAY
YESTERDAY.
>> CHINA PUT FORWARD THIS PLAN
WITHOUT HAVING HAD A SINGLE CONVERSATION SINCE THE WAR
CONVERSATION SINCE THE WAR
BEGAN BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND
THE CHINESE HAVE TALKED TO THE
RUSSIANS LOT BUT AT THE MOST
SENIOR LEVELS THEY HAVEN'T
TALKED TO THE UKRAINIANS AND IT
IS DIFFICULT TO ADVANCE ANY
KIND OF PEACE INITIATIVE WHEN
THERE IS THAT KIND OF ONE-SIDED
DIPLOMACY GOING ON.
>> JOINING ME NOW IS MY
COLLEAGUE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
AND SARAH McLACHLAN IS ALSO
THERE AND WE WERE ON CAPITOL
HILL AND I HAVE TO START WITH
YOU, MONICA AND THIS REPORTING
WE GOT THAT THIS AID THAT CHINA
IS CONSIDERING INCLUDES
AMMUNITION AND ARTILLERY TO
RUSSIA AND THEY SAID THEY
HAVEN'T SEEN ANY EVIDENCE THAT
CHINA HAS TAKEN THAT STEP BUT
WHAT ARE YOUR SOURCES SAYING? >> THAT IS THE ASSESSMENT AT
>> THAT IS THE ASSESSMENT AT
THIS TIME AND THIS IS STILL A
HIGH-STAKES HYPOTHETICAL THAT
CHINA HASN'T MADE THE DECISION
TO TRANSFER WEAPONS TO RUSSIA
BUT WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT
WHEN WE MENTION ARTILLERY
AMMUNITION AND A POTENTIALLY
THESE WOULD BE WEAPONS THAT
COULD BE USED ON THE
BATTLEFIELD THAT WOULD INCREASE
THE BLOODSHED IN UKRAINE.
THE UNITED STATES IS BEING VERY
CLEAR SAYING THAT IF YOU DECIDE
TO DO THIS, THERE WILL BE
SEVERE CONSEQUENCES.
THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE SEEN EVERYBODY FROM THE SECRETARY OF
EVERYBODY FROM THE SECRETARY OF
STATE TO THE UN AMBASSADOR TO
EVEN THE PRESIDENT SAYING WE
HAVE NOT ASSESSED THIS IS
HAPPENING BUT SHOULD CHINA TAKE
THIS STEP THERE WILL BE SEVERE
RAMIFICATIONS AND WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE
POTENTIAL SANCTIONS AND OTHER
THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN YET
WHEN IT COMES TO CHINA AND THIS
LARGER CONTEXT AND RUSSIA'S WAR
INVADING UKRAINE BUT IT IS
CLEAR THE UNITED STATES IS
BEING UPFRONT AND SENDING THAT
FINE AGAIN AND TRYING TO DETER
CHINA.
>> I DO THINK YOU MAKE AN
IMPORTANT POINT THAT THIS IS
REALLY A CHORUS OF VOICES WE
HEAR SAYING THIS AND THEY TOLD ANDREA MITCHELL THAT THIS WOULD
ANDREA MITCHELL THAT THIS WOULD
BE A GAME CHANGER AND TALK
ABOUT THIS LEVEL OF ESCALATION
AND TO YOUR POINT WE COULD SEE SANCTIONS AND THIS COULD BE
SANCTIONS AND THIS COULD BE
CHINA PUTTING ITS THUMB ON THE
WAR LIKE WE HAVEN'T SEEN.
>> IT WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT AND
YOU DO SEE SOME OVERTURN
CERTAINLY FROM PRESIDENT PUTIN
WHO HAD THE TOP DIPLOMAT THE
VISITING AND HAVING THESE HIGH
LEVEL CONVERSATIONS SO YOU DO
SEE SOME SIGNS ON THE WORLD
STAGE OF WHERE THAT
RELATIONSHIP COULD POTENTIALLY
BE GOING BUT AT THE SAME TIME
THE UNITED STATES IS VERY CLEAR
AND A SENSE THAT RUSSIA AND
CHINA ARE TRYING TO HAVE IT TWO
WAYS THAT PUBLICLY CHINA IS
PUTTING FORTH THIS 12 POINT
PEACE PROPOSAL WHILE PRIVATELY
HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT SUPPLYING THEM WITH THESE
WEAPONS AND THOSE TWO THINGS
DON'T SQUARE.
>> THERE IS SO MUCH SKEPTICISM
ABOUT THIS PEACE PROPOSAL AND I
WILL TURN TO YOU, COURTNEY AND
LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME MILITARY
AID THAT HAS BEEN SENT AND
HASN'T BEEN SENT.
THE UNITED STATES HAS ESCALATED
THE AMOUNT OF MILITARY AID
ANNOUNCING THAT WILL BE SENDING
THOSE TANKS ALONG WITH EUROPEAN
ALLIES BUT PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY
CONTINUES TO PUT THE FOCUS ON
THE F-16 FIGHTER JET AND JAKE
SULLIVAN OVER THE WEEKEND SAID
WHEN HE WAS PRESSED REPEATEDLY
ABOUT THIS THAT THERE ARE NO
PLANS TO SEND F-16 FIGHTER JETS
AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND WHAT
DO YOUR SOURCES TELL YOU?
WHAT WOULD CHANGE THAT
CALCULATION?
>> I WOULD POINT BACK TO THIS
DECISION. THERE WERE PEOPLE SAYING THERE
THERE WERE PEOPLE SAYING THERE
WAS NO DECISION TO DO THAT AND
72 HOURS BEFORE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE THAT THE
UNITED STATES WOULD SEND THESE
TANKS BUT THAT DECISION COULD
CHANGE QUICKLY.
THERE IS A GROWING CHORUS OF
PEOPLE PARTICULARLY ON THE HILL
AND IN CONGRESS WHO ARE CALLING
FOR THEM TO GO TO UKRAINE BUT
AT THIS POINT ACCORDING TO
OFFICIALS THE DECISION HAS NOT
BEEN MADE AND WHAT THE MILITARY
IS FOCUSED ON ARE WHAT I CALL
THE FOUR A's SO ONE IS
AMMUNITION AND UKRAINE NEEDS A
TON OF AMMUNITION AND THEY WILL KEEP NEEDING THIS AS LONG AS
KEEP NEEDING THIS AS LONG AS
THIS IS GOING ON AND SECOND IS
ARTILLERY AND NOT JUST THE
ARTILLERY LAUNCHERS BUT THE
AMMUNITION AND THE SHELF AND
THEY MAY BE CONCERNED BECAUSE BOTH SIDES NEED THE ARTILLERY
BOTH SIDES NEED THE ARTILLERY
AND THE THIRD IS AIR DEFENSES
AND THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN
THAT IN THE COMING OFFENSIVE BY
RUSSIA THEY WILL EMPLOY THEIR
AIR FORCES SO THE UKRAINIANS
NEED SOMETHING THAT WILL DEFEND
ON THE GROUND FOR MANY
ONSLAUGHT FROM RUSSIA IN THE
SKIES INCLUDING THINGS LIKE
DRONES AND MISSILES THAT THEY
COULD USE.
THE FOURTH ONE AS WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT HIS ARMOR AND TANK AND THEY WILL NEED MORE AND
AND THEY WILL NEED MORE AND
MORE ARMORED TANKS FOR THIS
OFFENSIVE PARTICULARLY WHEN
RUSSIA MOVES TOWARD THEM AND
THE RUSSIANS ARE VERY DUG IN
WITH THEIR DEFENSIVE LINE AND
UKRAINIANS NEED THE ABILITY TO
BREAK THROUGH THOSE LINES IF
AND WHEN THIS OFFENSIVE KICKS
INTO HIGH GEAR.
>> GREAT REPORTING.
THERE IS A SENSE BASED ON
CONVERSATIONS THAT THE U.S. IS
GIVING THEM ENOUGH STAY IN THIS
WAR BUT NOT ENOUGH TO WIN THE
WAR AND A MYRIAD OF
PERSPECTIVES BUT TO THE POINT
THAT COURTNEY IS MAKING AND THE
LEVEL OF SUPPORT FOR SENDING F
16S OR RAMPING UP THE MILITARY
AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE GIVEN MORE.
GIVEN MORE.
>> THIS IS A INTERESTING THING
IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND FOR
THOSE WHO WANT TO SEE THE
UNITED STATES GET OUT OF UKRAINE
AND SORT OF UKRAINE BACKING
BUSINESS ALTOGETHER AND SOME OF
THE MEMBERS OF THE FAR RIGHT
LIKE MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND
SOME OF THE MORE ESTABLISHED
REPUBLICANS INCLUDING MICHAEL
McCALL THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AND
EVEN SOME OF THE FOLKS RUNNING
FOR PRESIDENT MIKE MIKE PENCE
WHO SAID THAT IF WE WILL BE IN
THIS WE NEED TO GIVE THEM WHATEVER TOOLS THEY NEED UP TO
WHATEVER TOOLS THEY NEED UP TO
AND INCLUDING THE F-16AND
THERE IS SOME DIVISION WITHIN
OUR OWN GOVERNMENT WHETHER
THOSE ARE NECESSARY BUT THIS
DIVISION WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IF
YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT
POLITICALLY THERE ARE TWO
DIFFERENT WAYS TO HIT JOE BIDEN
ON UKRAINE AND YOU CAN HIT BY
SAYING HE HAS GONE TOO FAR OR
HE HASN'T GONE FAR ENOUGH AND
REPUBLICANS ALONE ARE DOING
BOTH AND DEMOCRATS HAVE LARGELY
HAD HIS BACK ON THIS AND THERE
IS DIVISION WITHIN THAT PARTY
AND A DESIRE TO SEE MORE BEING
GIVEN OUT AT ONCE RATHER THAN
GIVING THEM THIS ENOUGH TO LOSE
SLOWLY OR FIGHT LONGER AND WHETHER THIS AMOUNTS TO A
WHETHER THIS AMOUNTS TO A
SIGNIFICANT PUSH EITHER FROM
THE WRITER LEFT TO SPEED UP THE
PACE OF WEAPON TRANSFERS OR
SPEED UP THE PACE OF PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL TOOLS AND RESOURCES
I THINK REMAINS TO BE SEEN AND
IT IS STILL THE SHOW AND HOW EASILY ARE MORE DIFFICULT WILL
EASILY ARE MORE DIFFICULT WILL
IT BE TO DRAG CONGRESS ALONG.
>> I THINK THAT WILL BE THE NEW
FRONT HOW LONG CAN THE WHITE
HOUSE KEEP THE SUPPORT OF
CONGRESS WHEN IT COMES TO
ASKING FOR MORE AID.
AND LET ME GO TO YOU.
MONICA IS REPORTING ON THE
SKEPTICISM AND WITHIN THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION ABOUT THE
POTENTIAL MEETING BETWEEN
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY AND THE
PRESIDENT OF CHINA ABOUT THIS
PROPOSED PEACE PLAN AND WHAT
YOU HEAR ABOUT WHETHER HE
THINKS THIS COULD BE SERIOUS
AND IS HE GOING TO THIS MEETING
THINKING IT COULD YIELD A
BREAKTHROUGH?
>> PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY SAID HE
WANTS TO MEET WITH PRESIDENT XI
JINPING AND HE SAID THERE IS
NO VISIT FOR EITHER LEADER THAT
HAS BEEN MADE PUBLIC AND IT IS WORTH POINTING OUT THAT
WORTH POINTING OUT THAT
TOMORROW THE LEADER OF BELARUS
IS EXPECTED IN BEIJING AND CHINA IS MUCH CLOSER TO RUSSIA
CHINA IS MUCH CLOSER TO RUSSIA
THAN IT IS TO UKRAINE AND IN
TERMS OF THE PEACE PLAN ITSELF
AND THAT PRESS CONFERENCE LAST
FRIDAY, PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY WAS
RESERVED IN HIS LANGUAGE ABOUT
THAT BUT HIS MOST SENIOR
ADVISORS HAVE NOT BEEN AND I
HAVE A TWEET FROM A SENIOR
ADVISOR CALLING OUT CHINA
SAYING IF YOU CLAIM TO BE A GLOBAL PLAYER YOU DON'T OFFER
GLOBAL PLAYER YOU DON'T OFFER
AN UNREALISTIC PLAN OR BET ON
AN AGGRESSOR WHO BROKE
INTERNATIONAL LAW AND WILL LOSE
THE WAR AND IT ISN'T FARSIGHTED
AND AS SOMEBODY WHO PLANS FOR
DECADES AND DOESN'T PLAY THREE
DAY GAMES LIKE RUSSIA, THE
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR CHINA
ISN'T ENDLESS AND CERTAINLY IT
IS A REPRESENTATION OF HOW THEY
FEEL AS WELL.
>> IT WILL BE FASCINATING AND
IT IS A KEY POINT WITH NO
MEETING SCHEDULED AND LET ME
FOLLOW UP BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE
SOME NEW REPORTING ON
EXPLOSIONS IN UKRAINE AND WHAT
CAN YOU TELL US?
>> THE BRITISH MINISTRY OF
DEFENSE TWEETED THIS MOURNING
AND THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 14
EXPLOSIONS IN THE RUSSIAN
-CONTROLLED PORT CITY AND THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS SEEN AS A
IS BECAUSE IT IS SEEN AS A
MAJOR BASE OF OPERATIONS FOR
THE RUSSIANS TO THE SOUTH AND
SPEAKING TO A SPOKESPERSON FOR
THE UKRAINIAN DEFENSE FORCES
AND HE WAS TELLING ME THAT IT
IS A RESULT OF INTELLIGENCE ON
THE GROUND AND CIVILIANS AND
UKRAINIANS INFORMING THE
UKRAINIAN MILITARY IN WHATEVER
WAY THEY CAN ABOUT POSITIONS OF
RUSSIAN MILITARY BASES AND POSTS
, WAREHOUSES AND THEN
UKRAINIANS TAKING DRONES AND
TARGETING THAT RUSSIAN
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THEY HAVE
SEEN ACCORDING TO THE
SPOKESPERSON OF THEM BEING ABLE
TO PREVENT ATTACKS OVER THE
ANNIVERSARY OF THE INVASION AND
THAT IS ALL SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE
IT WAS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT THAT
MARY YOU PULL WITH OUTSIDE OF
THE REACH OF THAT MARK WE
TALKED ABOUT AND IT WAS THOUGHT THIS WAS SORT OF A SAFE HAVEN
THIS WAS SORT OF A SAFE HAVEN
FROM THAT KIND OF ATTACK BUT
CLEARLY NO LONGER THE CASE AND
THE SPOKESPERSON FOR THE
UKRAINIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY SAID
ONCE THEY GET THOSE LONGER
RANGE WEAPONS THAT HAD BEEN
PROMISED AS PART OF THE $2
BILLION PACKAGE AND THEY
RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THAT AND HE
THINKS IT WILL BE A GAME
CHANGER FOR THEM AND IN THEIR
ABILITY TO TARGET SOME OF THESE
RUSSIAN CONTROLLED AREAS AND SO-
CALLED SAFE HAVENS.
>> ALL OF THIS UNDERSCORES THAT
AS WE ENTER THIS SECOND YEAR OF
WAR IT IS SHOWING NO SIDES OR
SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN.
WE ARE GETTING THIS NEW
INFORMATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT
OF ENERGY AND THEY BELIEVE THE ORIGINS OF COVID MAY HAVE IN
ORIGINS OF COVID MAY HAVE IN
FACT BEEN IN A LAB IN WUHAN AND
THEY HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE AND
THE COMMITTEE IS MEETING
TOMORROW NIGHT. CAN YOU GIVE US
THE REACTION ON CAPITOL HILL
AND WHAT WE ANTICIPATE COMING
OUT OF THAT HEARING?
>> THERE HAS BEEN SOME CHEERING
FROM THE FAR RIGHT ALTHOUGH AS
YOU POINTED OUT IT IS MADE WITH
LOW CONFIDENCE AND IT'S NOT DECISIVE BY ANY MEASURE BUT
DECISIVE BY ANY MEASURE BUT
UNTIL RECENTLY THAT COVID MAY
HAVE ESCAPED FROM A LABORATORY
WAS TREATED AS A CONSPIRACY
THEORY AND FAR RIGHT
REPUBLICANS, LARGELY THE ONES
WHO ARE MOST CONFIDENT THAT WAS
THE CASE WERE ROUTINELY MOCKED
FOR ESPOUSING IT BUT ONE
REPUBLICAN WHO WAS A CRITICAL
VOICE WAS A TOM COTTON WHO
TWEETED AND SAID IT DOESN'T
MATTER AND HE SAID HE WAS RIGHT
AND IT HASN'T BEEN DETERMINED
BUT WHAT MATTERS IS CHINA IS
HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND THE
CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE SPOKE
TO REPORTERS A SHORT TIME AGO
AND SAID THE ORIGIN IS NOT
NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT HIS
COMMITTEE WILL SPEND A LOT OF
TIME ON WHAT WE COULD SEE AND
IT WON'T BE TOMORROW NIGHT BUT
IT WILL BE MORE THAN AN OPENING
ARGUMENT FOR THIS COMPETITION
COMMITTEE MORE BROADLY.
WE MAY SEE IS A DEEPER DIVE AND
THE IDEA OF A COVER-UP OR
WHATEVER CHINA KNEW ABOUT WHERE
COVID CAME FROM OR WHY THEY
MADE IT SO HARD FOR THE REST OF
THE WORLD TO MAKE THESE
ASSESSMENTS AND TO STUDY WHETHER OR NOT IT DEVELOPED
WHETHER OR NOT IT DEVELOPED
NATURALLY OR LAB, THAT IS THE
KIND OF THING THIS COMMITTEE IS
INTERESTED IN DIGGING INTO AND
IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY WILL HAVE A
LOT MORE OPPORTUNITY AND
INTEREST FROM THAT COUNTRY TO
EXPLORE THAT AFTER THIS NEWS
OVER THE WEEKEND.
>> I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT
THAT.
WHAT IS THE PENTAGON TELLING
YOU ABOUT THIS BROADER
IMPLICATION OF THIS FINDING?
AGAIN THIS IS LOW CONFIDENCE
AND WE SHOULD SAY THAT JOHN
KIRBY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
PRESS BRIEFING ROOM FROM THE
PODIUM SAYING THERE HAS BEEN NO
FINAL DETERMINATION ABOUT THE
ACTUAL ORIGIN.
>> REMEMBER. I THINK A LOT OF
OUR VIEWERS MAY NOT REALIZE
THAT A LOT OF ASSESSMENTS ARE
LOW CONFIDENCE.
THAT ISN'T UNCOMMON.
IT HAS ALSO NOT BEEN A SURPRISE
THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN
LOOKING INTO, POSSIBILITY OF
WHETHER COVID MAY HAVE COME OUT
OF THIS LABORATORY.
IT WAS SOMETHING WE REPORTED ON
ALMOST 3 YEARS AGO THE
POTENTIAL THAT WE WERE LOOKING INTO THIS.
INTO THIS.
I WILL SAY HERE WE ARE NOT
GETTING ANY COMMENT FROM THE
PENTAGON BECAUSE IT'S NOT
REALLY IN THEIR LANE BUT IT
GOES TO THE LARGER ISSUE OF
THESE RELATIONS BACK AND FORTH
AN EXTREMELY TENSE TIME AND
NONE OF THIS HAPPENS IN A
VACUUM.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING ON
THIS STORY OVER THE WEEKEND.
>> I THINK FOR MANY IN THE
ADMINISTRATION AND OFFICIALS
WHO HAVE BEEN INTO THIS NOW FOR
YEARS IS THAT WE MAY TRULY
NEVER KNOW THE ACTUAL ORIGIN OF
THIS PANDEMIC AND IT WILL
CONTINUE TO BE STUDIED AND
INVESTIGATED BY ALL OF THESE
AGENCIES.
BUT YOU DO SEE THIS MAJOR SPLIT
BETWEEN THE FBI, WHICH HAS
ASSESSED APPARENTLY WITH
MODERATE CONFIDENCE WITH THIS
POTENTIAL THEORY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY WITH LOW
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY WITH LOW
CONFIDENCE AND YOU HAVE ANOTHER
AGENCY ESSENTIALLY IN ANOTHER
CORNER SAYING IT IS MORE LIKELY
A NATURAL TRANSMISSION TO
HUMANS.
THIS DIVISION COULD CONTINUE
AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS DIRECTED THE AGENCIES AND THE WHOLE
THE AGENCIES AND THE WHOLE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO LOOK AT
BUT THE REALITY IS THERE MAY
NOT BE A CLEAR ANSWER AND THAT
DOESN'T TAKE AWAY THE POLITICS
AND THAT WILL CONTINUE BUT AS
FOR THE ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC
MATTERS WE MAY NOT GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF THAT THREE YEARS INTO THIS.
>> GREAT REPORTING.
