THAT THE U.S. IS JUST NOT A
RELIABLE ALLY.
JOINING US RIGHT NOW IS SENATOR
RON JOHNSON, MEMBER OF THE
SENATE HOMELAND SECURITY
COMMITTEE.
SENATOR, THANKS SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE.
BEFORE I GET TO THE PENTAGON
REPORT AND WHAT HAS GONE ON
SINCE THE AFGHANISTAN BOTCHED
WITHDRAWAL, I WANT TO GET YOUR
TAKE ON THE NEWS OF THE WEEKEND
AND THIS DATA DUMP BY E HORN
MUSK INDICATING -- ELON MUSK
INDICATING THIS MASSIVE
COLLUSION WHICH YOU PRETTY MUCH
PREDICTED WITH THE MEDIA END OF
IT ANYWAY.
YOUR THOUGHTS.
>> GOOD MORNING, MARIA.
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I COME ON
YOUR SHOW HERE OVER THE LAST 2
THE-3 YEARS AND TALKED ABOUT HOW
AS TROUBLING AS THE CORRUPTION
OF THE BIDEN FAMILY BUSINESS
DEALINGS ARE, AS MUCH AS THAT
COMPROMISES OUR MARTIAL
SECURITY, AS TROUBLING --
NATIONAL SECURITY, MAYBE EVEN
MORE DANGEROUS IS THE CORRUPTION
THAT WE’VE UNCOVERED IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT, OUR INTELLIGENCE
AGENCIES AS WELL AS THE
COMPLICIT AND CORRUPT MEDIA.
THOSE, I THINK, ARE MAYBE EVEN
LARGER STORIES THAT REALLY
THREATEN OUR DEMOCRACY TO A FAR
GREATER EXTENT.
LISTEN, I APPRECIATE WHAT
MR. MUSK IS DOING HERE.
IT’S CERTAINLY REVEALING AN
AWFUL LOT ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR
CENSORSHIP.
BUT, YOU KNOW, OUR -- SENATOR
GRASSLEY AND MY INVESTIGATION OF
HUNTER BIDEN WAS HAMPERED REALLY
AS SOON AS IT STARTED.
BUT CERTAINLY ALL THROUGH 2020
WHEN WE HAD DEMOCRATS
COOPERATING AND SMEARING US AND
CREATING FALSE INTELLIGENCE
PRODUCTS, LEAKING THOSE TO THE
MEDIA, YOU KNOW?
THE SCHEME THAT WE NOW KNOW FROM
WHISTLEBLOWERS THAT THE FBI
DEVELOPED IN AUGUST OF 2020 TO
DOWNPLAY THE DEROGATORY OR
INFORMATION, THE UNSOLICITED
BRIEFING THAT WAS GIVEN TO
SENATE GRASSLEY IN AUGUST THAT
WAS LATER LEAKED TO SMEAR ME AND
IMPACTED THE WISCONSIN U.S.
SENATE ELECTION IN 2022.
THIS, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE --
I’VE LIVED THIS.
I’VE BEEN, YOU KNOW, ON THE
RECEIVING END OF THE CORRUPTION,
OF THE SMEARS.
SO THERE IS A MUCH, MUCH LARGER
STORY HERE THAN JUST WHAT’S
BEING REVEALED NOW WITH THE ELON
MUSK REVELATIONS.
MARIA: YEAH.
NO, I UNDERSTAND.
WHEN I WAS REPORTING THE TRUTH
ABOUT NO COLLUSION BETWEEN
RUSSIA AND TRUMP, I ALSO GOT
ATTACKED ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH.
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING -- YOU’RE AN
ELECTED OFFICIAL.
WE’VE GOT A NEW 118TH CONGRESS.
YOU MAY NOT9 HAVE THE MAJORITY
IN THE SENATE, I REALIZE THAT,
BUT CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT
THIS?
>> ONE OF THE THINGS I’M GOING
TO DO WITH EACH NEW PIECE OF THE
PUZZLE, EVERY NEW PIECE OF
INFORMATION, WE ADD THAT TO OUR
TIMELINE.
AND QUITE HONESTLY, OVER THE
WEEKEND AIR BEEN TALKING TO
MY -- I’VE BEEN TALKING TO MY
STAFF ABOUT PUBLISHING A
SPECIFIC TIMELINE OF THAT
COLLUSION THAT WE CERTAINLY
EXPERIENCED AND, YOU KNOW, OPEN
UP THAT STORY.
WE’VE TALKED TO CONGRESSMAN
COMER AND CONGRESSMAN JORDAN,
WE’LL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
LET THEM KNOW WHAT WE KNOW AND
AID IN THEIR INVESTIGATIONS, IN
THEIR TESTIMONIES.
I’M HOPING THEY ACTUALLY LET US
IN THE ROOM TO ADVISE THEM AS
THEY’RE QUESTIONING SOME OF
THESE WITNESSES, BECAUSE WE HAVE
AN AWFUL LOT OF INFORMATION.
MARIA: THE FORCES THAT ARE
WORKING AGAINST THE TRUTH
TELLERS ARE ENORMOUS.
AND I KEEP POINTING BACK TO THE
CCP AND THE COMMUNIST PARTY, AND
I WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE ON THE
MILITARY AND WHETHER OR NOT THE
U.S. IS UP FOR THIS FIGHT
AGAINST THE CCP.
IT CERTAINLY DOESN’T FEEL LIKE
IT IN A LEADERSHIP POSITION.
SENATOR, STAY WITH US.
MORE WITH RON JOHNSON WHEN WE
COME RIGHT BACK.
♪ ♪
MARIA: WELCOME BACK.
I AM BACK NOW WITH SENATOR RON
JOHNSON.
SENATOR, IT’S JUST AN ENORMOUS
STORY OF POLITICIZATION OF THESE
AGENCIES.
AND I WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE ON
THIS BREAKING NEWS THAT WE HAD
THIS MORNING.
KEVIN McCARTHY JOINED ME AT
THE TOP OF THE SHOW, AND HE TOLD
ME HE DID MANAGE TO CONVINCE JOE
BIDEN TO LIFT THE MANDATE ON
VACCINES FOR THE MILITARY.
THAT’S GOING TO BE IN THE NDAA
DROPPING WEEK.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT HAS TAKEN
PLACE IN THE MILITARY.
I MEAN, LOOK, THE FBI HAS BEEN
DENYING THEY HAVE BEEN PURGING
CONSERVATIVE WORKERS.
HOW MANY PEOPLE LOST THEIR JOB
BECAUSE THEY WOULDN’T GET THE
VACCINE, SENATOR?
>> THE MILITARY, I THINK, IS
ABOUT 8,000 SERVICE MEMBERS,
ANOTHER 17,000 WAITING
TERMINATION ON RELIGIOUS
EXEMPTIONS.
A NUMBER OF SENATORS AND I
CALLED ON OUR LEADERSHIP TO
BLOCK CLOTURE ON THE NATIONAL
DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT UNTIL
THEY DO LIFT THE MANDATES.
THIS WOULD BE GOOD NEWS, IF
THAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN.
DATES BACK TO THE BILL CLINTON
ADMINISTRATION AS THEY STARVE
OUR MILITARY OF THE RESOURCES
THEY NEED AND USE OUR MILITARY
AS A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT AS
OPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, HONE OUR
WAR-FIGHTING CAPABILITY.
SO PARTICULARLY IN THE
ADMINISTRATION, THE CURRENT
MILITARY BRASS SEEMS TO BE MORE
CONCERNED ABOUT WOKENESS THAN
THEY ARE MILITARY READINESS, AND
EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD BE
CONCERNED ABOUT THIS.
I’M CONCERNED THAT THEY’RE
MISSING RECRUITMENT GOALS PARTLY
BECAUSE IF YOU’RE A YOUNG MAN OR
A YOUNG WOMAN THAT WANTS TO JOIN
AND DEFEND THIS NATION, YOU NOT
PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN
SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS.
YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO BECOME A
WAR FIGHTER TO DEFEND THIS
NATION AND OUR FREEDOMS.
SO I THINK THAT’S ONE OF THE
REASONS THE RECRUITMENT NUMBERS
ARE DOWN.
MARIA: YEAH.
LOOK AT THE SUSPENDED FBI AGENTS
WHO HAVE BECOME WHISTLEBLOWERS.
THEY WANT TO KNOW WILL YOU
COMMIT TO EDUCATING PERSONNEL
THAT JANUARY 6TH PROTESTERS DID
NOT KILL ANY POLICE OFFICERS,
SENATOR?
>> WELL, AGAIN, THE
POLITICIZATION THROUGHOUT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THROUGH
FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, OUR
INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, OUR
FEDERAL HEALTH AGENCIES, IT IS A
DEEP STATE, AND IT’S HIGHLY
PARTISAN.
IT’S RADICALLY LEFT, AND THAT
NEEDS TO CHANGE.
IT FIRST NEEDS TO BE EXPOSE9. --
