>> HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI
IS NOW ON THE GROUND IN ASIA
WITH A CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION
AND FACING AN ULTIMATUM WITH
CHINA OVER A POTENTIAL STOP IN
TAIWAN.
>> CHINESE STATE MEDIA SAYS THE
ISLAND NATION WILL FACE
UNBEARABLE CONSEQUENCES IF
PELOSI GOES THROUGH WITH THIS
VISIT.
RACHEL: THIS AS PRESIDENT BIDEN
FACES GROWING CALLS TO RELEASE
THE TRANSCRIPT FROM HIS TWO HOUR
CALL WITH PRESIDENT XI.
LET’S BRING IN WISCONSIN SENATOR
RON JOHNSON TO REACT.
SENATOR, WELCOME.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT?
>> GOOD MORNING, GUYS.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I DON’T KNOW
WHY SPEAKER BELOW PELOSI SIGNALE
TRIP TO TAIWAN SO FAR IN ADVANCE
TO GIVE THE CHINESE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND IN THIS
WAY.
IT’S OUTRAGEOUS THAT CHINA WOULD
THREATEN AMERICA JUST BECAUSE
THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND
DELEGATION WOULD VISIT TAIWAN.
I HAVE THE CHINESE, THE NEW
CHINESE AMBASSADOR IN MY OFFICE
THIS WEEK.
IT WAS NOT A PLEASANT MEETING
WHATSOEVER.
I CONVEYED TO HIM HOW
DISAPPOINTED I AM THE PATH THEY
HAVE CHOSEN, THEIR AGGRESSIVE
STANCE, HOW THEY’RE THREATENING
WORLD PEACE.
IT’S VERY UNFORTUNATE.
>> I HOPE YOU HIT HIM BACK.
I’M SURE HE CAME BACK AT
AGGRESSIVELY.
SO SENATOR, YOU THINK SHE SHOULD
GO, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, I DON’T SEE HOW YOU CAN
BACK DOWN RIGHT NOW.
I DON’T KNOW WHY YOU WOULD
SIGNAL SO FAR IN ADVANCE.
>> BUT THE PRESIDENT WANTS HER
TO BACK DOWN, CLEARLY.
THE PENTAGON WANTS HER TO BACK
DOWN.
>> RIGHT NOW, IT’S AN AWFUL
SITUATION.
I DON’T THINK SHE CAN BACK DOWN.
THAT JUST GIVES CHINA EVEN MORE
CAUSE TO CONTINUE THEIR
AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR.
RACHEL: NO ONE’S BEEN MORE
AGGRESSIVE ON THE HUNTER BIDEN
LAPTOP SITUATION THAN YOU AND
SENATOR GRASSLEY.
WE’RE NOW HEARING THAT THERE ARE
WHISTLEBLOWERS COMING FORWARD
SAYING THAT THE FBI AND THE DOJ
ILLEGALLY SUPPRESSED THAT
INFORMATION THAT WE NOW KNOW I
MEAN REALLY WAS A MAJOR FACTOR,
COULD HAVE ACTUALLY CHANGED THE
ELECTION BACK IN 2020.
WHAT’S GOING ON?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT
IT?
>> WELL, FIRST OF AWCIALTION
THANK GOD FOR THOSE -- FIRST OF
ALL, THANK GOD FOR THOSE
WHISTLEBLOWERS, WE NEED MORE OF
THEM.
THEY NEED TO COME FORWARD AND
START TALKING TO US.
I’M NOT SHOCKED BUT IT’S
OUTRAGEOUS THAT THE FBI WOULD BE
TIPPING THE SCALES OF JUSTICE
THE WAY THEY’RE DOING.
I HAVE NO FAITH IN CHRISTOPHER
WRAY OF CONDUCTING THIS
INVESTIGATION BUT IT’S IMPORTANT
THAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
UNDERSTAND, THE FBI HAD HUNTER
BIDEN’S LAPTOP IN DECEMBER OF
2019.
THEY CERTAINLY SAW THE EVIDENCE
OF WHAT I THINK IS CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY ON THAT LAPTOP.
THEY’VE DONE NOTHING.
HERE WE ARE IN END OF JULY,
EARLY AUGUST OF 2022.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE WITH IT?
NO, YOU CAN’T TRUST THIS
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND FBI TO
GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
>> SENATOR, I DON’T WANT TO
MOVE ON FROM THIS TOPIC TOO
FAST.
THERE’S ANOTHER TOPIC WE HAVE
HERE CALLED THE PACT ACT.
A LOT OF VETERANS ARE VERY
CONFUSED.
THIS IS A BILL THAT SUPPOSEDLY
WILL PROVIDE FUNDING FOR
VETERANS WHO HAVE DEALT WITH
TOXIC WASTE EXPOSURE, BURN PITS
AND TO GET THE VA CARE.
IT SEEMS THAT REPUBLICANS WERE
ON BOARD WITH THIS A LITTLE OVER
A MONTH AGO OR RIGHT AT A MONTH
AGO AND NOW REPUBLICAN SENATORS
HAVE ACCORDING TO VETERANS
SURPRISED THEM BY VOTING AGAINST
THIS.
I WANT YOU TO HEAR WHAT JON
STEWART HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS,
REAL QUICK.
>> THIS IS THE TOTAL COST OF
WAR, ALL THE SENATORS WHO OF
VOTED FOR THOSE TRILLIONS AND
TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SEND
THESE MEN AND WOMEN TO WAR AND
YOU NOW SUDDENLY -- AND NOW
SUDDENLY SAY IT’S NOT FISCALLY
RESPONSIBLE TO SPEND THE MONEY
TO PAY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF
THEIR SERVICE IS OUTRAGEOUS.
>> GO AHEAD AND RESPOND TO JON
STEWART IF YOU DON’T MIND.
>> WELL, WE ALL FULLY SUPPORT
THE VETS.
BUT WHAT THE DEMOCRATS DID IS
THEY’VE TRANSFERRED OUT OF
DISCRETIONARY SPENDING HUNDREDS
OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO
MANDATORY SPENDING, OPENING UP A
BIG HOLE FOR FURTHERMORE FURTHER
MORTGAGING OUR CHILDREN’S
FUTURE.
WE’RE SAYING ELIMINATE THAT
POSITION, PUT IT BACK IN THE
DISCRETION FAIRLYARY SPENDING PR
WE ARE FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE
VETS.
I SUSPECT THIS WILL PASS.
ALL THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO DO IS
REMOVE THE PROVISION THAT TURNS
IT FROM DISCRETIONARY TO
MANDATORY SPENDING.
WE WILL FUND OUR VETS.
>> YOU THINK THIS BILL WILL GET
-- IT’S THE TOOMEY AMENDMENT, IT
WILL PASS.
>> IT’S WHAT WE VOTED IN A
PROCEDURAL VOTE LAST WEEK.
THIS IS NOT A VOTE AGAINST THE
VETS.
THIS IS A VOTE FOR OUR
CHILDREN’S FUTURE.
>> YOU’RE IN A TOUGH RACE.
DO YOU BELIEVE THE REASON
MILLIONS IS PUT AGAINST YOU IS
BECAUSE YOU’RE ALL OVER THE
HUNTER BIDEN INVESTIGATION?
DO YOU THINK THAT’S PART OF IT
THAT YOU’RE DETERMINED TO LOOK
INTO WHAT HAPPENED LEADING UP TO
THIS PANDEMIC AND THROUGH THE
PANDEMIC, DO YOU THINK THEY FEAR
YOUR INVESTIGATION?
>> WELL, THEY’RE NOT HAPPY WITH
IT.
THEY HAVEN’T BEEN HAPPY WITH IT
FOR YEARS AND THEY ACCUSED US
FALSELY OF SOLICITING RUSSIAN
DISINFORMATION.
THAT’S THEIR STANDARD PLAYBOOK.
COMPLETELY DISHONEST.
DEMOCRATS ARE SO FAR DIVORCED,
DETACHED FROM REALITY AS THEY
ARE FROM THE TRUTH IT’S ACTUALLY
PRETTY AMAZING.
RACHEL: THEY SAID HUNTER
BIDEN’S LAPTOP WHEN WERE YOU
TRYING TO BE YOU BRING IT TO LIG
RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION, THEY
TRIED TO GET YOU FOR TRYING TO
ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT COVID
POLICIES AND MANDATES AND
VACCINES AND EARLY TREATMENT.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU
WANTED TO BRING TO LIGHT WAS
THAT THERE WAS WHISTLEBLOWERS IN
THE MILITARY WHO WERE SAYING
THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME PERHAPS
VACCINE INJURIES, THINGS THAT
ARE ON RECORD WITH THE HEALTH
RECORDS FROM OUR MILITARY WHO AS
YOU KNOW WERE FORCED TO TAKE THE
VACCINE OR BE DISCHARGED FROM
THE MILITARY.
YOU SAID THAT THEY NEED TO
PRESERVE THOSE RECORDS SO THAT
WE CAN SEE THAT IF THAT HAPPENS.
>> WELL, THEY SAY IT HAPPENED.
WE MADE THIS DISCLOSURE BACK IN
JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, SHOWING
FOR EXAMPLE NEUROLOGICAL
INJURIES 10 TIMES THE NUMBER OF
DIAGNOSES THAT CERTAIN CANCERS,
THREE TIMES AND WE ASKED THE
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE WHAT’S
HAPPENING HERE.
THEY HAVEN’T GIVEN US ANY
CLARITY ON THIS AT ALL.
THEY SAID WE HAD A GLITCH IN OUR
DATABASE.
REALLY?
HERE WE ARE, AGAIN, END OF JULY,
EARLY AUGUST AND THE DEPARTMENT
OF DEFENSE HAS NOT BEEN FORTH
COMING.
WHY NOT.
IF THERE’S A SIMPLE EXPLANATION,
EXPLAIN IT TO THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC.
WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE YOUR
DATABASE IN THE TERMS OF OUR MEN
AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM.
RACHEL: IS THAT SOMETHING THAT
CAN COME TO LIGHT IF REPUBLICANS
WIN THE CONGRESS, THE HOUSE AND
THE SENATE?
>> CERTAINLY BE MY INTNGS.
-- INTENTION.
I’VE WRITTEN 43 OVERSIGHT
LETTERS ON SOME ASPECT OF COVID,
BASICALLY GOTTEN NO RESPONSE.
THAT’S THE PROBLEM.
CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT IS A
SHADOW OF ITSELF BECAUSE WE
REALLY DON’T HAVE A WAY TO
REALLY ENFORCE IT.
>> SENATOR RON JOHNSON, GOING
FOR ANOTHER SIX, SENATOR, GOOD
LUCK.
SOON YOU’LL HAVE AN OPPONENT.
