Michael Olsen begins telling "the story of the letter", explaining that it was "the letter that destroyed science". Recalling January 2020, "when the COVID bleep hit the fan", Olsen points out that it was described as a "novel virus" that came from bat soup. He points out that some people, himself included, were not quite convinced. He recalls a guest on his Food Chain Radio show who tracked down the original photo of bat soup, discovering that the photo originated from the CCP and was originally taken in an Indonesian restaurant.

Going back to the Obama administration, Olsen points out a petition in 2014 of 300 scientists to stop doing gain of function research, regarding the research activities of Professor Ralph Baric. The program was consequently terminated, but then taken up by the so called "bat lady", who took the research back to Wuhan.

Olsen returns us to February 2020, when Peter Daszak arranged to have 27 scientists to sign the letter published in the Lancet. Olsen reads the letter, which suggests that the scientists in China were transparent in sharing their data. It then goes on to say that that transparency is threatened by the "conspiracy theory" that the virus may have originated in a Wuhan lab and strongly pressures the scientific community in condemning any such theory. The letter declared that there were "no competing interests".

Olsen explains that Peter Daszak, through the Eco Health Alliance was taking money from various US organizations and using it for gain of function research in multiple places including Wuhan. Olsen suggests that the effect of the letter was to shut down any scientific research.

Olsen points out that the recent Freedom Of Information disclosures acquired by The Intercept have proven that Dr. Fauci absolutely funded gain of function research in Wuhan.

The Lancet recently published another letter, from a different set of scientists, who suggest that the possibility of a lab leak should be investigated. The article "The Death Of Science" suggests that the enemies of science are "politics, superstition and deduction".

Nan introduces the guest Elmer Yuen, president of the Hong Kong Freedom Beacon, explaining that the Hong Kong Alliance has been holding a Tienanmen Square memorial for decades and its leadership has just been sentenced to prison.

Elmer Yuen explains that he has been attending the candle light vigil for almost 25 years, pointing out that the vigil attracts "tens of thousands" annually. He explains that, after last years "National Security Law", arrests have been commonplace and intended to intimidate. He points out that some arbitrary arrests can last a year.

Nan asks what the reason for the arrest of the 12 activists. Elmer Yuen says that the arrests are completely arbitrary, mentioning that a young girl was arrested for having a package of M&M's, under the pretext that she intended to have an illegal gathering.

Elmer Yuen mentions that Xi Jinping was part of the Red Guard, describing the organization as "street gangsters". He describes Xi's moves to make China more authoritarian under his rule.

Nan asks about Elmer Yuen's family still in Hong Kong. He explains his remaining family plan to leave. He describes how he communicates with them using extreme privacy measures and in code. Elmer Yuen describes how his mother was put in a labor camp for 20 years for her religious beliefs.

Billy asks how this "hard line CCP situation" will effect business. Elmer Yuen suggests that China was heading towards melting "into the global system" prior to Xi's rise to power. He asserts that Xi intends to return private capitol to the control of the CCP. He describes a variety of Chinese industry that are being destroyed by Xi's policies, suggesting that he is returning to communism and preparing for war with the west.

Olsen asks if the authoritarian push by Xi is a part of his strategy to win a third term in office. Elmer Yuen suggests that Xi does no
