00:00:25.820 The Poso Daily Brief.

00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:40.640 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:46.960 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.

00:00:50.120 Deliver us from evil.

00:00:51.740 Inflation rose by 0.4% in March on the monthly basis.

00:00:56.180 It's the same as the February figure.

00:00:57.660 But here's the key.

00:00:58.620 Year over year, inflation rose by 3.5%.

00:01:02.980 More than expected.

00:01:04.660 More than we saw last month.

00:01:06.280 How concerned are you about the fight against inflation stalling?

00:01:10.340 And do you stand by your prediction for a rate cut?

00:01:13.160 Well, I do stand by my prediction that before the year is out to be a rate cut.

00:01:16.500 This may delay at a month or so.

00:01:18.260 I'm not sure of that.

00:01:19.240 I don't know.

00:01:19.780 We don't know what the Fed is going to do for certain.

00:01:22.380 A federal appeals court heard oral arguments on whether a new Texas immigration law is at

00:01:27.920 odds with the role of the federal government.

00:01:29.840 The law, also known as Senate Bill 4, would allow state police to arrest suspected illegal border

00:01:35.360 crossers.

00:01:36.100 It's currently on hold while judges weigh its legality.

00:01:39.500 Joe Biden's border bloodbath ends the day I take the oath of office.

00:01:45.040 It ends.

00:01:45.440 With this vote, I will seal the border.

00:01:49.220 I will stop the invasion.

00:01:50.580 I will end the carnage, bloodshed, and killing. 0.99

00:01:54.160 And we will crush the human traffickers.

00:01:56.580 House Speaker Mike Johnson has been huddling with his Republican conference for the second

00:02:00.540 time today.

00:02:01.720 This time to try to find a way forward after a failed vote tied to renewing the government's

00:02:05.800 surveillance tools.

00:02:07.320 This comes as he is facing the very real dilemma of how to do his job without losing his job.

00:02:12.500 Earlier today, the speaker met with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's threatened to

00:02:16.860 oust him from his post, or at least to try, if he puts any bill on the floor that includes

00:02:21.940 funding for Ukraine.

00:02:23.300 On this vote, the yeas are 193, the nays are 228. 0.98

00:02:27.660 The resolution is not adopted.

00:02:30.680 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.

00:02:34.100 We are live in Washington, D.C.

00:02:35.920 Today is April 11th, 2024.

00:02:38.500 Anno Domini.

00:02:39.340 Honored to be joined once again by Senator Ron Johnson of the great state of Wisconsin.

00:02:45.060 Senator, how are you?

00:02:47.060 Hello, Jack.

00:02:47.760 I'm doing well.

00:02:48.240 Hope you are, too.

00:02:50.080 I am doing very well.

00:02:51.600 It's nice to have the little spring action coming back around here.

00:02:54.500 So the other nice thing that I've seen is this chart that was put together.

00:02:59.080 I wish it were nicer, but I like the fact that it's getting attention because how powerful

00:03:02.960 it is, this illegal immigration chart that, I don't know if everyone knows this, that

00:03:07.500 President Trump has been posting about and tweeting about and showing it as rallies and

00:03:12.060 handing out to people at Mar-a-Lago, is that your office actually put together that chart.

00:03:16.600 Is that right?

00:03:18.080 Yeah, I was with the president last week flying up to the Green Bay rally, and we talked about

00:03:23.300 a number of substantive issues.

00:03:24.500 Obviously, one of them was the border, and I mentioned the fact that this chart that I've

00:03:29.440 really been updating on a monthly basis since I became chairman of Homeland Security back

00:03:33.220 in 2015.

00:03:34.820 And what I've always liked about the chart is it shows the cause and effect, and it shows

00:03:39.120 the magnitude of the problem of Biden's catastrophe versus even President Obama.

00:03:44.580 Back there in 2014, he declared it a humanitarian crisis when 2,000 people were crossing a day.

00:03:50.980 Biden had over 10,000 people per day just in December.

00:03:54.920 And so I think what President Trump liked about it is it showed also how when he faced his own

00:03:59.700 immigration issue, by the way, caused and sparked by President Obama's deferred action on childhood

00:04:06.740 arrivals, I mean, that's really the main root cause of all these border crises and now this

00:04:13.020 invasion.

00:04:13.860 But when he was faced with almost 5,000 people a day, he did something about it, and he did it

00:04:18.840 very successfully.

00:04:20.760 And so he liked that chart.

00:04:22.120 He adapted it, made a couple tweaks to it.

00:04:24.800 And I'm just glad that it's getting a lot more visibility than when I post it.

00:04:28.520 Obviously, when President Trump posts this, it does.

00:04:30.920 I thought one of the commentaries from one of the political pundits just put that chart

00:04:35.600 and said, this ought to decide the 2024 election in and of itself.

00:04:40.700 Again, just describing the catastrophe that is Biden and the Democrats' open border policy.

00:04:49.060 And this is exactly right.

00:04:50.780 It's something, by the way, where, you know, I'm always one of the guys who says that, you

00:04:55.920 know, I think we need to be, we need to tell stories as well as do facts and figures.

00:05:00.840 But it's something where Republicans as well can just have something out there.

00:05:04.480 Conservatives, just average folks can look at the numbers on this.

00:05:08.280 And speaking of numbers, we're going to talk about Bidenflation here later in the interview.

00:05:13.220 But when you put it out in a very simple way for people to understand that everyone can

00:05:19.880 look at this and say, here's when this thing happened.

00:05:23.200 Here's when the next thing happened, the cause and effect.

00:05:26.320 And I'd love to ask you about a lot of these because people don't realize some of these key

00:05:32.980 decision makers, decision moments, I should say, before even Trump took office, like the

00:05:39.240 Flores reinterpretation, which gave Ketram release, like the tariff threat, like the DHS

00:05:45.200 tools, all of these things that came into effect as President Trump was campaigning.

00:05:52.240 And then later when he took office, then that hits, then Biden comes in, we can see it all

00:05:58.020 right there.

00:05:58.660 Stay tuned, folks.

00:05:59.320 We'll be right back with a much longer segment.

00:06:01.300 Senator Ron Johnson, Wisconsin joins us.

00:06:03.240 Ladies and gentlemen, one of the best ways that you can support us here at Human Events and

00:06:15.280 the work that we do is subscribing to us on our Rumble channel.

00:06:26.360 And we're putting them out every single day of the week.

00:06:29.220 But I got a hankering yearning deep inside for this book called Unhumans.

00:06:40.120 I just can't.

00:06:47.620 Jack Tropic back live here.

00:06:49.380 Human Events daily live.

00:06:51.040 Washington, D.C.

00:06:51.720 We're sitting down with Senator Ron Johnson.

00:06:54.000 He's been very gracious with his time for us.

00:06:56.440 Senator Johnson, as we're talking about this just monumental chart that you've put through

00:07:01.740 and there's so many different pieces, we can see the graphs, we can see the troughs,

00:07:06.800 we can see the spikes in so many of these things.

00:07:10.080 This Flores reinterpretation of 2015 and then the subsequent DHS rule that came out, you've

00:07:18.240 been outspoken on this for years at this point.

00:07:21.360 Can you explain to the audience, if they're not familiar with Flores and the impact that

00:07:26.080 that's had on our enforcement of the border and these catch and release policies, can you

00:07:32.020 explain to the audience who may not understand what Flores is, the basics behind it and what

00:07:37.960 the current situation is at?

00:07:39.680 The original Flores decision related to a young girl and she was an unaccompanied child.

00:07:46.480 And the agreement that was hashed out was that the federal government would have to turn

00:07:52.300 over an unaccompanied child to HHS within 20 days.

00:07:56.900 And so when President Obama sparked the latest crisis at the border with his deferred action

00:08:03.280 on childhood arrivals, we had a lot more unaccompanied children come in, but we also had unaccompanied

00:08:07.360 children come in with their families.

00:08:09.160 Some were real families, some were make-believe families.

00:08:12.740 But what Obama did in reaction to that is he detained those children with their families.

00:08:20.440 Immigrant right activists took him to court and a court reinterpreted the Flores decision

00:08:27.520 and said that you couldn't even detain an unaccompanied child with their families.

00:08:31.900 So then President Obama started splitting up families from the unaccompanied children because

00:08:38.060 they had to release the unaccompanied children.

00:08:39.520 That was politically untenable.

00:08:41.880 Certainly President Trump was not able to do that either.

00:08:44.080 So again, that is what really led to this explosion of people exploiting that Flores

00:08:49.780 reinterpretation.

00:08:50.620 By the way, D.H.

00:08:51.480 Secretary Johnson at that time completely disagreed with that court decision saying that unaccompanied

00:08:57.940 children couldn't even be detained with their families, which I think is pretty humane

00:09:01.740 action.

00:09:02.380 But that's what the courts do. 0.84

00:09:03.860 That's one of the things Congress could have fixed.

00:09:05.980 We should have fixed, but Democrats don't want to fix that because it helps spark and fuel

00:09:11.280 their open border desires and dreams.

00:09:15.960 And in actuality, what it's done is given a signal to the coyotes, the cartels, the human

00:09:22.520 traffickers, essentially, that if you bring children along with you, that they know our

00:09:28.260 system, they know our rules better than the average American does.

00:09:32.040 That if you have these unaccompanied children with you, if you have these minors with you, 0.64

00:09:37.300 that it kind of gives them a free pass to be able to walk their way right across the

00:09:42.140 border and right through our system.

00:09:43.860 If the other, again, the result was we didn't separate families anymore.

00:09:47.800 What we did is we let the families into the country. 1.00

00:09:49.880 So we didn't detain any of them.

00:09:52.660 And that I should have explained that that's kind of the best the icing on top of the cake

00:09:56.620 here is the policy result of that was now we don't detain the children or the families

00:10:03.260 they come in with.

00:10:04.000 So we've seen an explosion of fake families, for example.

00:10:07.700 We don't do DNA testing, certainly not under the Biden administration.

00:10:11.180 So this is a huge problem.

00:10:14.600 Right.

00:10:15.180 And so it basically created this loophole whereby in that Homeland Security, even if

00:10:20.760 they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to, under the court order, to go in and detain

00:10:26.420 any of them under the rules.

00:10:27.600 So the question then becomes, how do you fix that?

00:10:30.620 I know we're going way into the weeds on this, but it's such a key issue.

00:10:35.380 So does it have to be a legislative fix or is this something that can be done by DHS rule?

00:10:39.220 Well, because it's a court decision, it'd have to be a legislative fix.

00:10:43.100 But you'll notice on that chart, you'll see blue are family units.

00:10:46.760 And you'll see that the size of the blue in those bars increases after the floor is

00:10:52.540 reinterpretation because people started exploiting that law.

00:10:55.660 I've also added one more modification to that chart.

00:11:00.080 I sent that to President Trump's team.

00:11:02.200 But I've also added Title 42 expulsions because Trump is pointing out the low point of

00:11:08.820 encounters.

00:11:11.020 But a lot of people say, well, that's because of Title 42.

00:11:13.920 No, they didn't start expelling people under Title 42 till March of 2020.

00:11:19.040 The low point occurred in April.

00:11:20.840 But then Trump utilized Title 42 and basically didn't let people in.

00:11:27.540 And even though Democrat presidential candidates were saying they were going to end deportation,

00:11:33.280 give free health care, that's what increased the, that's what led to the rise of single

00:11:37.680 adults being encountered at the border.

00:11:40.460 Trump just returned them.

00:11:41.800 So even though that chart starts going up toward the tail end of the Trump administration,

00:11:45.620 he didn't let them stay.

00:11:48.040 And even President Biden for a while used Title 42, but then he let it expire.

00:11:53.160 And so we have the complete explosion where we basically don't return anybody.

00:11:58.740 Great.

00:11:59.240 And of course, Title 42, that is under, that is under health concerns.

00:12:03.040 And if we're, and it's, and it's amazing that, you know, we were, we were locking down

00:12:06.660 our country at one point.

00:12:07.980 And it's, it's, it's crazy for me to even think about this, that we were locking down

00:12:11.580 our country.

00:12:12.060 We were locking down our citizens.

00:12:13.360 We were forcing people to get vaccines and we were still letting people in across the 1.00

00:12:17.840 border, or at least Democrats were still willing to allow this.

00:12:20.340 Title 42 simply took all of those same restrictions that we were applying to ourselves and applied

00:12:27.060 them to the border itself.

00:12:29.000 And by the way, this, this isn't just about COVID-19 because there's a variety of diseases

00:12:34.740 and pathogens and communicable diseases that are coming up across the border.

00:12:39.260 Even now to this day that like tuberculosis and others that we don't normally have the measles

00:12:44.960 that we don't normally encounter within the United States, but they're coming up because

00:12:49.620 people are coming across from countries and then spilling into the, into the, um, you

00:12:53.500 know, into the interior of our country, um, from places that don't have inoculations against

00:12:57.900 things like this.

00:12:59.100 So it's, well, again, some of these diseases are endemic in different parts of the world

00:13:04.080 that they're not common here.

00:13:05.820 And they're even drug resistant, antibiotic resistant strains of tuberculosis, for example.

00:13:11.440 And again, the Biden administration completely ignoring that it's grotesque.

00:13:15.520 Right.

00:13:16.520 The Biden administration that, that is, uh, informing us we need to, uh, trust the science

00:13:22.860 and we're, we're doing all this for your own health and we're doing this for your protection.

00:13:26.800 So, so that's the situation.

00:13:28.760 And I guess in, in terms of the chart, we've made it to about the 2020s.

00:13:32.840 So what happens where this is the situation as, as the administration.

00:13:37.880 So the Trump administration leaves January, 2021, and you can see the explosion.

00:13:42.440 And I have no idea how else to explain this other than a massive explosion.

00:13:47.120 As Trump leaves office, Biden takes in and it's, it's basically in the first month, you

00:13:52.300 just see it jump up exponentially.

00:13:53.900 Look at this January and then February.

00:13:56.160 And by the time you're in March, it's, it's already too late.

00:13:59.500 Well, again, I think president Biden used the exact same executive authority that Trump

00:14:04.600 used to secure the border to, to open it up.

00:14:07.200 Uh, and one of the most important things is he stopped, uh, the remain in Mexico or the

00:14:11.900 micro protection program, which really deterred people from coming.

00:14:14.840 If you couldn't get in this country and, you know, you give it, give a notice to appear 0.99

00:14:18.880 in court three, four, five, six, nine years in the future, uh, they should stop coming.

00:14:24.320 And so that was probably the most effective thing together with the threat of terrorists against

00:14:28.140 Mexico.

00:14:28.520 So that they actually, uh, enforce the remain in Mexico policy about when president Biden stopped

00:14:34.760 using that, that was the signal to the world that America's borders are open.

00:14:39.080 And so you see the explosion in family units coming to exploit that law on a couple of

00:14:43.740 children, uh, again, single adults, uh, were returned under for title 42 under Trump.

00:14:49.200 They were returned to a certain extent under president Biden, just not as aggressively.

00:14:53.540 And then president Biden allowed that title 42 authority to, uh, expire when I don't think

00:14:59.880 you really had to, because you had, as you said, you know, all kinds of reason of these

00:15:03.800 other endemic diseases that you could have still said was a health emergency if he really

00:15:07.860 wanted to secure the border, but he doesn't.

00:15:10.140 I mean, I just cannot point that out enough.

00:15:12.620 President Biden, Democrats in Congress want an open border.

00:15:17.300 They cause this.

00:15:18.220 This didn't just happen.

00:15:19.820 This isn't just an unfortunate circumstance.

00:15:22.160 This is exactly what they want.

00:15:24.280 And I was on an earlier show and people look at that chart and go, I mean, this is a catastrophe.

00:15:29.540 I mean, we view this as a problem.

00:15:30.960 Um, Mayorkas and Biden and Democrats, they view that chart as a success that that demonstrates

00:15:37.720 to them that they have succeeded in opening up our borders, allowing six, seven, I don't 1.00

00:15:42.240 know what the number is, 8 million people in this country, a number larger than what?

00:15:46.540 About 36, 37 states population.

00:15:49.780 This is success to them.

00:15:52.100 And that's what I hope more Americans start coming to understand.

00:15:56.400 We need to defeat these Democrats.

00:15:58.560 We can't reelect them.

00:15:59.980 They want an open border.

00:16:01.200 They cause this problem.

00:16:02.300 They can fix it.

00:16:03.300 They just don't want to.

00:16:05.560 Now, now, and the fact the matter that this is, and we talk about this all the time here

00:16:10.280 on the program, how this is not the unintended consequences of, of good faith policies.

00:16:16.060 No, these are the deliberate consequences of bad faith policies.

00:16:18.940 But that being said, what are some of the reasons?

00:16:22.040 A lot of people will see Elon Musk has been tweeting.

00:16:24.540 He says they want them to be able to vote.

00:16:26.840 I'm not sure how true that is in some of these cases.

00:16:29.520 I'm sure there's illegals voting.

00:16:31.120 It wouldn't surprise me.

00:16:32.200 I don't know what the numbers would be.

00:16:34.100 But from your perspective, do you think it's more from that?

00:16:37.280 Or is it to play around with these census numbers that we see?

00:16:40.960 Because, of course, illegals are still counted in the census.

00:16:43.160 Well, the census numbers will take effect immediately.

00:16:48.580 It probably already has impacted American voting patterns to a certain extent just from

00:16:53.560 the 2020 census.

00:16:55.060 But in 2030, you've got, you know, six, seven, eight million new people here primarily congregated

00:17:00.300 in Democrat-controlled areas.

00:17:02.720 And so that will mean more congressional seats apportioned to those states.

00:17:06.720 That will impact policy.

00:17:09.420 But let's face it, New York, they allow illegal immigrants to vote in their local elections.

00:17:15.360 The whole push toward mail-in balloting without controls, that's made to facilitate illegal

00:17:22.880 immigrants to be able to vote.

00:17:24.040 So, again, that's a long-term game plan.

00:17:26.380 It probably won't take effect as rapidly as they'd like.

00:17:30.120 But, you know, counting these illegal immigrants in the census count, that takes effect in 2030.

00:17:35.300 And it's already had an impact in 2020.

00:17:36.820 Well, it takes immediate effect.

00:17:40.460 And it's surprising to me, and I would say a little bit heartening, at least, that you

00:17:45.100 do see more people now that, you know, kind of come from, I guess, the center of the road,

00:17:49.700 more Silicon Valley types waking up to say, wait a minute, so all you have to do is buy

00:17:53.900 a Social Security number, you know, in some alley, and that's enough to be able to vote

00:17:58.540 in the election?

00:17:59.360 You betcha.

00:18:00.460 We're here with Senator Ron Johnson, state of Wisconsin.

00:18:03.500 He's joining us for the full hour today.

00:18:05.320 Hugh and Ben Staley will be right back.

00:18:06.960 The hidden tales of the communist history.

00:18:14.780 I want to know the truth, what really went down.

00:18:17.940 So I'm jumping on my computer, going to pre-order town.

00:18:22.600 Pre-ordering like humans.

00:18:43.340 Can't wait to get my hands on that, we're going to die.

00:18:47.520 Jack Posobiec, Fact Live, Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:18:50.820 Folks, I got to tell you, real quick, I like knowing exactly where my food comes from.

00:18:56.420 And with Moink, that place is from small family farms all across the country. 0.97

00:19:29.740 I get it.

00:19:30.280 Tanya Tay cooks it up for us.

00:19:32.020 We love it every single time.

00:19:33.200 And we run through it so quick in our household.

00:19:35.080 You will as well.

00:19:36.380 Go and help those farmers out.

00:19:37.760 Moink Box dot com slash Poso right now.

00:19:40.240 And believe it or not, they're offering the Human Events Daily audience a free supply of

00:19:44.340 bacon for a full year.

00:19:45.860 Yes, that's right.

00:19:46.760 A one-year supply of the best bacon you'll ever taste, but for a limited time.

00:19:51.220 It's spelled M-O-I-N-K box dot com slash Poso.

00:19:54.880 M-O-I-N-K box dot com slash Poso.

00:19:57.480 We're on with Senator Johnson.

00:19:59.460 And Senator, right before the break, we were discussing this idea that there's so much

00:20:05.140 of our political process and there's so many political direct impacts when it comes to

00:20:12.480 policy that are affected by illegal immigration.

00:20:17.800 Now, when it comes to let's let's talk solutions, though.

00:20:20.440 And before we because I do want to get into the Biden inflation, but solution wise, let's

00:20:24.940 say fast forward.

00:20:26.540 We're now in twenty twenty five.

00:20:28.160 We're now hopefully on the other side of this thing.

00:20:30.560 Let's let's say, you know, let's say President Trump is back in office.

00:20:34.480 How do you turn back something like this when we see the numbers where they are?

00:20:39.300 Well, it's actually pretty simple.

00:20:40.360 You just through your actions communicate to people around the world that we no longer

00:20:44.560 have an open border.

00:20:45.420 That's what the Remain in Mexico policy did, you know, plus some of the agreements with

00:20:50.040 Central America in terms of safe third country.

00:20:52.320 You simply don't allow people in.

00:20:54.100 What happens now is people get to the border, you know, through human traffickers.

00:20:59.960 They pay their thousands of dollars worth of fees.

00:21:02.440 They get delivered to the border right into the arms of Customs and Border Patrol.

00:21:06.480 The Biden administration last time was at the border.

00:21:08.400 However, CBP told us their directive was to encounter, process and disperse within eight

00:21:14.380 hours.

00:21:15.360 In other words, somebody has probably got a plane ticket or bus ticket or a train ticket

00:21:20.260 within eight hours and they're heading to where their destination was.

00:21:24.680 Once they get there, they have cell phones.

00:21:26.860 They call down to Central America.

00:21:28.480 They call down these other countries and say that was pretty darn simple.

00:21:31.360 Now, those are the people that aren't, you know, sent into involuntary servitude or the

00:21:39.300 sex trade.

00:21:40.860 But the reality of the situation rules.

00:21:44.100 So the reality is it's very easy to get in this country.

00:21:47.040 Once you get here, you stay.

00:21:49.160 Some of these sanctuary cities, you're put up in hotels, you're fed, you're treated quite

00:21:53.160 well.

00:21:54.060 And people get on the phone and people tell them, you know, they talk to, you know, other

00:21:58.200 their fellow countrymen and incentivizes more people.

00:22:01.640 If the phone calls are made from the Mexican side of the border and say, oh, they shut it

00:22:06.620 down.

00:22:07.560 This isn't easy anymore.

00:22:10.060 We're sitting here in a hot tent now.

00:22:12.800 I have no idea when we're going to get into America.

00:22:15.460 People stop coming.

00:22:16.440 I think the flow will be stopped very quickly.

00:22:19.700 You know, President Bush was faced the same situation.

00:22:24.240 I think this was with an influx from Brazil and he had a program called Texas Hold'em.

00:22:30.360 And that shut down and alleviated that problem by 97 percent within a month.

00:22:36.140 So, again, these signals will be transmitted at the speed of light with telephone calls.

00:22:43.540 So you can shut it down, I think, very, very quickly.

00:22:46.100 Now, again, it's such a massive problem right now.

00:22:47.920 It'll take a little bit of time.

00:22:49.280 But the first thing is to elect a president who actually wants to secure the border, who's

00:22:53.700 serious about it, who uses full presidential authority.

00:22:57.020 And he is a lot.

00:22:57.860 The Supreme Court said in a 2018 ruling that current law exudes deference to the president.

00:23:03.680 Again, it's been watered down a little bit by some of these court decisions, but he can

00:23:08.220 still do it.

00:23:09.020 And President Trump obviously would.

00:23:10.520 And not only that, but it also sends a message that, as you say, not only for the phone calls,

00:23:18.120 but it sends a message that for anyone who's currently in the country, that when there's,

00:23:23.780 you know, let's say there's a new sheriff in town, that leads to the point where people

00:23:27.480 start deciding and making the decisions that perhaps it's not time to stay in this country.

00:23:32.600 Perhaps it's time to pull up chocks and head back where we came from or head somewhere else. 0.94

00:23:37.840 Because when you change the incentives, when you take away this toxic incentive structure

00:23:42.900 that we currently have, it actually leads people and, you know, Joy Reid and all these

00:23:46.840 others will say, oh, Trump wants to have this, you know, this massive deportation force.

00:23:50.860 And he talks about it, et cetera.

00:23:52.020 But a lot of this is also self-deportation that I think people don't realize.

00:23:57.160 And to your point, once you change the incentive structure and a huge facet of that, probably

00:24:02.260 the main facet of that, obviously, is economic, the minute you change that, people will start

00:24:07.460 changing their behavior overnight.

00:24:10.780 Yeah, the easiest part of this is going to be to stop the flow.

00:24:14.980 The more difficult part is, you know, what do you do with people here?

00:24:17.740 And that's not going to be easy.

00:24:19.020 That's going to be extremely difficult.

00:24:20.480 A lot of these, yeah, again, I can't tell you how many young women I've been, I've seen

00:24:24.480 at the border, you know, eight, nine months pregnant.

00:24:26.940 Now they've got U.S. citizen children, which is one of the things that President Trump,

00:24:31.440 I think, intelligently is and vowing to end birthright citizenship is insane.

00:24:36.660 We're one of just a handful of countries that allows that.

00:24:39.880 That's also a huge magnet.

00:24:41.380 But again, Democrats always talk about the push factor.

00:24:44.280 And there's no doubt about it.

00:24:45.500 Some of these people come from countries that are not real pleasant circumstances, but that's

00:24:50.060 not a valid asylum claim.

00:24:51.720 The main reason people are coming is because we incentivize them.

00:24:54.740 It's the pull factor, and that's what we need to end.

00:24:59.340 Well, I couldn't agree more.

00:25:00.580 I mean, there's always going to be issues and always going to be other countries out there

00:25:04.340 that aren't quite run as well as the United States, even given our current state of mismanagement.

00:25:09.940 But simply coming as an economic migrant is not qualified, does not qualify someone for 0.58

00:25:15.340 asylum.

00:25:16.020 And you're right, to your point, the reason the United States and so much of the new world

00:25:20.120 has birthright citizenship, these are holdovers from colonial times, right?

00:25:24.460 So the left, of course, loves to talk about colonization and decolonization.

00:25:30.100 But it really is, because most of the world only has citizenship through their parents.

00:25:35.360 And so if your parents are citizens of the country, then you become citizens.

00:25:38.340 But it was only in the new world, places like Brazil, places like the United States, because

00:25:42.280 they were trying to, at the time, attract immigrants, trying to attract people because

00:25:46.900 they wanted people to come from the old world and then set up shop.

00:25:51.020 That's why citizenship was offered at birth.

00:25:53.260 They said, well, your kids can be citizens.

00:25:55.060 But at some point, you know, I think we have to realize we're about, you know, we're almost

00:25:58.720 about to hit our 250th here.

00:26:00.360 I think we could probably start moving away from some of those laws at this point.

00:26:05.120 That would make sense to me.

00:26:07.720 It certainly would.

00:26:08.720 So as we're talking about this, we also run into a situation where the housing market is

00:26:15.260 in complete crisis.

00:26:16.800 Wages are in complete crisis.

00:26:18.480 And this ties into the numbers report that we saw this week out of the CPI, which came

00:26:26.340 in so much hotter than anyone else did.

00:26:28.720 And Senator, you were here with us the last time we were on.

00:26:31.660 It was a couple of weeks ago.

00:26:32.720 And you were bounding, pounding the drum about inflation.

00:26:36.800 And you said inflation was about to go sky high.

00:26:40.200 And here we are today where CPI came in way higher and way hotter than anybody else was

00:26:46.580 saying.

00:26:47.200 How was it that you were able to make that prediction?

00:26:50.160 Well, because we haven't done anything to reduce deficit spending, we're still printing

00:26:53.580 money.

00:26:53.960 And again, inflation is a pretty easy definition.

00:26:56.960 It's too many dollars chasing too few goods.

00:26:58.980 And I've always said, to me, the best solution for inflation, stop deficit spending, but also

00:27:06.220 increase the number of goods.

00:27:07.880 Do everything you can to control the economy.

00:27:10.040 But instead, what the Fed does is they start cranking up interest rates, which has a tendency

00:27:14.700 to dampen the economy.

00:27:17.100 In the event, eventually, by slowing down the economy, you start bringing inflation under

00:27:22.380 somewhat control.

00:27:23.620 But you never can control it as long as you have this massive deficit spending.

00:27:29.160 Brought on by fiscal policy.

00:27:32.280 So again, unfortunately, in Washington, D.C., we have a uniparty.

00:27:37.420 You have people, the attitude, and I've heard it said, that show me one member of Congress

00:27:42.060 who ever lost re-election because they spent too much money.

00:27:45.420 The public loves the free money from Washington, D.C.

00:27:48.800 You know, even some of the staunchest conservatives from our states come in, you know, begging for

00:27:53.900 this grant or that grant, claiming, well, that's not real spending.

00:27:57.160 That's actually an investment.

00:27:58.740 No, it's all spending money we don't have, all causing us to print money, which has sparked

00:28:05.260 the 40-year high inflation under Biden.

00:28:08.040 People need to understand, too, that a dollar you held at the start of the Biden administration

00:28:11.480 is now only worth 84 cents.

00:28:13.400 It's 0.838, to be precise.

00:28:17.120 That damage has been done.

00:28:18.840 So no matter how they might lower inflation rates in the future, they're not going to

00:28:24.080 revalue the dollar.

00:28:25.060 The dollar's not going to spring back up to being fully worth a dollar.

00:28:28.140 That devaluation has occurred, and that is the pain people are feeling at the pump, at

00:28:32.980 the grocery store, and it, in particular, hurts people at the lower end of the income

00:28:37.980 spectrum.

00:28:40.060 The wealthy, they maybe won't like it, but they can survive.

00:28:44.040 But the very people that Democrats purport to represent, people at the lower end of the

00:28:48.460 income spectrum, are the ones most hurt by the inflation spark, by their deaths of spending.

00:28:57.860 And most of the spending is all designed to buy votes.

00:29:01.560 Look at the vote-getting scheme right now with President Biden forgiving student loans of

00:29:07.080 people that voluntarily entered these agreements.

00:29:09.900 It's a small percentage of the American public that has student loan debt, and yet we're going

00:29:14.380 to transfer that debt burden to the rest of Americans, people that didn't go to college,

00:29:18.840 people that paid off their student loans.

00:29:20.420 But it's all about buying votes.

00:29:22.440 That's what all this death and spending is about, is buying votes.

00:29:25.320 Keep people in power.

00:29:26.280 And in fact, as Biden has shown, he made this same promise all the way back in 2020.

00:29:34.140 It's sort of this perennial election year promise.

00:29:36.560 They said, well, we're going to get it in the first turn.

00:29:38.280 And then student loan relief never came.

00:29:39.860 He said, well, we're going to get it in the second term.

00:29:43.140 That's when it'll come.

00:29:44.600 And then we know that eventually he's probably either, as you say, number one, not going to

00:29:51.060 give the student debt relief, or two, he's going to give it, which is only going to pass

00:29:55.500 those costs on to everyone else in terms of inflation or in terms of higher taxation, in

00:30:01.280 terms of prices that we're paying everywhere.

00:30:02.960 And I've got some of these numbers here.

00:30:05.120 You're looking at 65% food at elementary and secondary schools, 59% fuel oil, 52% margarine,

00:30:13.840 49% eggs.

00:30:15.260 Basic eggs for Easter are up 50% from last year.

00:30:20.580 I mean, this is a staple of our American food sources, American diet.

00:30:25.220 This is something we really need to focus on.

00:30:27.880 Stay tuned.

00:30:28.260 Come right back.

00:30:28.820 Senator Ron Johnson.

00:30:29.540 I want to know the truth, what really went down.

00:30:37.720 So I'm jumping on my computer, going to pre-order town.

00:30:44.320 But I got a hankering, yearning deep inside for this book called Unhumans.

00:30:53.280 I just can't hide.

00:30:59.060 All right, Jack Posobiec here, Washington, D.C.

00:31:04.280 We are live with Senator Ron Johnson.

00:31:06.500 Senator Johnson, there's another issue in inflation that I think people don't seem to ever connect.

00:31:13.240 And this is something where, you know, Republicans and Democrats, I have to say, also have an issue

00:31:19.100 with is when they look at this overseas spending, particularly the military aid that we're providing

00:31:25.300 to so many countries, Ukraine, of course, top of the list, is, yes, actually something

00:31:31.240 that increases inflation.

00:31:32.840 And I don't think people realize how this spending does so, this massive spending, not only the

00:31:38.240 printing that we're doing, but the money has to come from somewhere.

00:31:41.880 And when the money comes, the spending goes out, that then in turn increases prices when the government

00:31:48.780 does it.

00:31:50.420 Do you get a sense on Capitol Hill when you're talking about these packages and Speaker Mike

00:31:59.300 Johnson, no relation, is talking about putting forward another, I think, a clean Ukraine bill

00:32:04.240 or possibly attaching it to something with Israel aid again.

00:32:07.540 And do you get any sense that people connect the two, the inflation and this military spending?

00:32:13.200 No, I think most members of Congress and quite honestly, the public are just whistling by the

00:32:17.640 graveyard that they'll look at a particular piece of spending and say, well, this is essential.

00:32:21.840 I mean, we absolutely need this.

00:32:23.340 So don't worry about the inflationary impact of this.

00:32:26.660 But no matter where you spend those dollars, when you print them, that's going to have an

00:32:31.480 inflationary impact.

00:32:32.940 You know, to expand on this a little bit, you know, we really ought to take a look at what

00:32:37.240 we spend on defense.

00:32:38.260 Now, from a standpoint of percent of GDP, we're down at pretty historically low levels.

00:32:44.120 But when we take a look at total dollars spent and compare it to other nations, we're going

00:32:48.480 to be spending close to $900 billion just in the base defense budget.

00:32:53.860 China, you don't exactly get good numbers from them.

00:32:56.680 It's somewhere around $300 billion.

00:32:58.900 The next 13 nations combined, that includes Russia, probably in the $600 or $700 billion total.

00:33:05.080 So you can see that the United States, we spend a lot of money on defense.

00:33:09.300 And what always kind of boggles my mind is every time we're actually in a war or we're

00:33:14.300 supporting a country that's in a war, we can't dip into the $880-some billion that we're

00:33:21.200 allocating, they're budgeting and appropriated for defense.

00:33:24.560 We have to do a supplemental.

00:33:26.360 We need another $100 billion more for this.

00:33:28.640 I think we have not even come close to heeding the warning of President Eisenhower back in

00:33:35.360 1961 in his farewell address about the military-industrial complex and how it drives public policy, how

00:33:42.800 it drives deficit spending.

00:33:45.120 We need to do a serious look back, be retrospective, take a look at what all this spending, what

00:33:52.620 all of our foreign entanglements, what have been the results of these things?

00:33:55.700 I don't think we're going to be very pleased if we actually do that analysis, but Jack, we

00:34:01.220 don't do that analysis.

00:34:02.320 We just want to move on. 1.00

00:34:04.100 Let's not fault ourselves for maybe doing something stupid. 0.97

00:34:08.200 Let's just pat ourselves on the back for good intentions and move forward and continue to 0.97

00:34:13.060 plunder and mortgage our children's future, which, by the way, in Eisenhower's farewell

00:34:17.860 address, that was his third warning about not plundering and mortgaging our children's

00:34:22.420 future.

00:34:22.680 We've completely ignored that warning.

00:34:25.700 Precisely.

00:34:26.660 And you're also obviously referencing George Washington's farewell address, our very first

00:34:33.060 president warning us about foreign entanglements, because there's an interesting take on the

00:34:39.200 revolution that, you know, because I don't have time to go all the way down the rabbit hole

00:34:43.060 on, but there's an interesting take on the revolution that the British Empire at the time

00:34:47.300 was sort of the global system, the neoliberal order, the rules-based order, whatever you want

00:34:52.600 to, you know, whatever catchphrase that Tony Blinken is using today.

00:34:55.560 And it was the colonists and the colonials who were pulling out of that international

00:35:03.780 system and setting up the United States as an independent nation state in which it could

00:35:08.840 conduct its own commerce and its own treaties and its own diplomacy within its hemisphere,

00:35:14.260 do things that were in its interests.

00:35:15.520 And so it's Washington actually warning us to watch out for becoming part of one of these

00:35:20.500 global systems again, because that had led to so many issues in the first place.

00:35:26.080 And of course, people, you know, people don't always get their history on this, right?

00:35:30.460 But it was the British and French war where the United States played this sort of proxy

00:35:36.700 role in that led to the high taxes being charged in the first place that, you know, turned over

00:35:42.780 into the Boston Tea Party, et cetera, et cetera, and these interminable acts because Britain

00:35:49.280 and France were at war with each other.

00:35:50.760 But of course, the Americans started saying, you know, of what impact does that have on us?

00:35:56.280 Sorry, a little on the historical side, but it's interesting to me how it just kind of

00:36:00.460 parallels some of the debates that we find ourselves in today.

00:36:03.880 Now, listen, we have to look back at history.

00:36:06.220 We generally don't.

00:36:07.600 And again, you know, the famous saying is those who are, you know, refuse to learn history 1.00

00:36:10.940 are destined to repeat it.

00:36:12.580 So, you know, these empires, they generally don't fail because of, you know, external invasions.

00:36:18.420 They basically fail from internal rot or an overextension.

00:36:22.940 And, you know, I think in America here, I think you have to be very careful about us

00:36:27.140 overextending, trying to be the world's policeman.

00:36:29.940 Listen, I think we do play a role in the world and a very important one.

00:36:33.320 We can bring stability, freedom of navigation on the sea so that you have a global economic

00:36:38.960 system that works.

00:36:39.900 I mean, these are things we can do and we can do them.

00:36:42.280 It doesn't have to cost us an arm and a leg.

00:36:44.020 But right now, what I'm primarily concerned about is the internal rot brought about by

00:36:49.260 radical leftism.

00:36:51.380 That is what is destroying this country right now is the internal wrath.

00:36:54.780 The fourth thing that President Eisenhower warned us about, again, that was such a prescient

00:36:59.740 speech.

00:37:00.160 It's only 15 minutes.

00:37:01.160 I recommend your listeners go to YouTube and listen to it.

00:37:04.440 But he said, we cannot allow global society to descend into a state of dreadful fear and

00:37:10.640 hate.

00:37:11.080 And from my standpoint, the military industrial complex, it's one of their calling cards is

00:37:16.100 they push fear.

00:37:17.720 You'll fear every adversarial regime.

00:37:20.760 I'm not saying don't be wary of them, but to what extent does that drive our policy and

00:37:26.340 potentially drive bad policy?

00:37:28.320 You know, the global hate.

00:37:30.400 What about hate within our own country?

00:37:32.600 We're not a naturally divided people.

00:37:34.480 Why are we so divided?

00:37:35.400 It's because political figures, political parties, they push the hate.

00:37:39.340 That's what identity politics is about.

00:37:41.720 That's what, you know, I would say critical race theory, transgenderism. 1.00

00:37:46.700 All these things are pushing hate, dividing Americans.

00:37:49.820 It's a very it's that is what's destroying this country.

00:37:51.960 There's an interesting corollary between sort of when you see empires that overstretch and

00:38:00.440 at the same time they have rot.

00:38:02.320 It seems they have the moral decay.

00:38:04.680 They have rot on the inside at the same time.

00:38:07.060 And it's it's it's a very interesting parallel.

00:38:10.600 I haven't quite cracked the code on why that is.

00:38:12.900 But you saw this in late stage Rome.

00:38:15.140 Of course, you see this in the Weimar Republic, in Germany.

00:38:18.320 And now we're seeing it many times here in the United States as well.

00:38:21.960 And as you say, we've we've gotten so wrapped up in all of these causes, this cause, that

00:38:27.600 cause, this is and that is.

00:38:29.000 And then all of a sudden, you know, my wife comes to me and I was on with we had Dr.

00:38:33.260 Ben Carson here on the other day and I was I was joking at my my wife referred to calls

00:38:36.940 it airport prices.

00:38:38.080 She says every time I go to the grocery store, it's like I'm paying airport prices because

00:38:41.860 everyone knows everything costs extra at the airport, but it's now everywhere does that.

00:38:46.020 And so she's not worried about, you know, what's going on in this pocket of the world,

00:38:50.940 that pocket of the world.

00:38:51.780 She's worried about, are we going to be able to afford to keep our boys raised up?

00:38:57.960 Are we going to be able to afford to keep the refrigerator stocked?

00:39:00.580 That kind of stuff, putting gas in the car.

00:39:03.360 This is something obviously, I mean, we're looking at gas prices right now.

00:39:06.160 I think 371 is the latest national U.S. gas average.

00:39:10.800 I just pulled that this morning.

00:39:12.300 And so these are huge questions, especially as we go into the summer.

00:39:15.600 So if we're at 371 as our national average going into the summer when gas prices always

00:39:21.280 spike, we could potentially be looking at four dollars a gallon again.

00:39:24.100 And oh, by the way, this is at a time where where Biden refused to refill the petroleum reserve.

00:39:31.640 And so, you know, again, we get so wrapped up in these issues that we don't realize that

00:39:37.800 at some point, as you say, Senator, you got to pay the bill.

00:39:41.860 The bill is going to come and it's going to come due.

00:39:44.280 I'd also I'd also recommend your listener go back and look at Scottish.

00:39:47.760 I think it's the historian Lord Teitler, T-Y-T-L-E-R.

00:39:50.900 He described the eight stages of of a democracy and starts with bondage going to then great

00:39:58.060 faith.

00:39:58.740 Great faith leads to freedom.

00:40:00.100 Freedom leads to prosperity and affluence, which then leads to apathy that then leads

00:40:05.340 to dependence and then back to bondage.

00:40:07.780 I think I might have missed one of the stages in there.

00:40:09.820 But, yeah, I think most people take a look at America.

00:40:12.740 Obviously, we've been highly affluent.

00:40:14.800 Is that are we in the apathy?

00:40:16.600 We're certainly in some cases in the dependent stage.

00:40:20.560 And of course, once you're dependent, that's bondage.

00:40:23.320 I remember I had a finance professor say that, you know, the reason they call a debt instrument

00:40:26.860 a bond is because when you put yourself into debt, you put yourself into bondage.

00:40:34.680 That's fantastic.

00:40:36.560 I never heard that.

00:40:37.740 That's fantastic.

00:40:38.060 Bondages generally don't last more than about 150 years.

00:40:40.240 And we're, you know, approaching 250.

00:40:43.560 We're running out of time, you know, particularly with the dangerous path the Democrat government

00:40:47.920 has put this nation on.

00:40:50.120 That's exactly right.

00:40:51.220 One question that I want to get into in the final segment is, and this is obviously a little

00:40:55.720 bit of what's going on on the Hill, a question about FISA reinforcement.

00:41:01.560 We're going to ask about this here.

00:41:02.880 Senator Ron Johnson.

00:41:03.540 All right, Senator Johnson, final segment here today.

00:41:30.080 I would be remiss if I didn't ask you about this reauthorization of the House FISA program.

00:41:38.680 This is something where, of course, President Trump came in at the 11th hour.

00:41:42.820 He tweeted out, kill FISA.

00:41:44.380 He related to the original Russiagate situation that he faced all the way back in 2016.

00:41:52.180 What is the current status of FISA?

00:41:55.100 Is this set to expire?

00:41:56.740 And what are you hearing on the Hill?

00:41:57.840 Well, real quick, obviously, it sprang out of 9-11.

00:42:01.140 I think most Americans want to give law enforcement the tools to prevent future terrorist attacks.

00:42:06.500 That's certainly what I wanted.

00:42:07.500 I voted to reauthorize it last time because we were told, you know, point to one American

00:42:11.960 whose constitutional rights have been trampled on because of FISA.

00:42:14.800 We couldn't.

00:42:15.720 Now we can.

00:42:16.920 A president of the United States.

00:42:18.200 So FISA absolutely has to be reformed.

00:42:21.140 Warrants should be required.

00:42:22.380 It boggles my mind that, you know, people in, for example, House Intelligence and other members of Congress are happy with it pretty much as it is.

00:42:30.840 And they simply won't agree with the people like Jim Jordan, Chairman Jordan, that, you know, no, we need to put greater controls on this.

00:42:37.500 So if they're not willing to do that, I'm not going to support it, and it may not pass.

00:42:42.620 And that's huge.

00:42:46.500 And I say this, by the way, as a prior intelligence officer who, you know, I've sat on the other side of FISA, and it is incredibly powerful.

00:42:55.660 It is.

00:42:56.580 And I think this is something which the great Frank Church talked about years ago about the potential uses and abuses of having that power in the hands of the federal government, who, by the way, was a Democrat.

00:43:10.680 You know, we used to have Democrats that actually worried about this stuff.

00:43:14.240 So, again, we need those controls.

00:43:16.320 And I think Chairman Jordan has done a good job, bipartisan.

00:43:19.220 He's, you know, I thought he had the votes.

00:43:21.320 I don't know what's exactly messed it up in the House, but we need those types of controls.

00:43:26.340 We need that kind of reform for me to support it again.

00:43:28.820 I've supported in the past.

00:43:29.820 I'd like to support something, but it has to have those controls.

00:43:32.480 Well, and this was the issue, right, that came out under the, it was the Church Committee, and then later, as you say, things that we learned during 9-11 was that essentially the NSA and the FBI were able, so the FISA court was set up so that people could, you know, that there would be a secret court that the agencies could go to.

00:43:53.540 But then the problem also became, and particularly the 702, that there were ways around the court system.

00:44:01.140 And then, of course, you also have FISA authorizations that were being signed where the agencies were basically just cooking the books, and they were lying to the court as to what was going on.

00:44:12.540 And then you have this guy gets out with a slap on the wrist for altering emails on Carter Page.

00:44:18.420 We all know the story.

00:44:19.620 But the second part of it is that in the 702s, there are Americans every single day that are caught up in incidental collection and two-hop issues that I think is something that people, and through the Russiagate process, have given a lot of conservatives some consternation over.

00:44:37.600 And certainly, obviously, President Trump.

00:44:38.940 Yeah, as a U.S. citizen, we have constitutional rights, and those have been laid down and understood.

00:44:44.780 FISA is about foreigners who don't have those constitutional rights.

00:44:48.020 So you can do more things with foreigners, but then when you, you know, get U.S. citizens tangled up in those types of searches, you know, that's the issue right now.

00:44:56.220 And what we're saying is if you're going to go further with U.S. citizens, you need a warrant.

00:45:00.380 You can't use FISA as an excuse to trample on U.S. citizens' rights.

00:45:05.020 That's what has happened.

00:45:06.060 That's what needs to be prevented.

00:45:07.200 I think it's exactly right.

00:45:09.860 The one that I know that most people remember, I think, just because it was, it became so high profile in the news, is General Flynn.

00:45:18.160 So General Flynn is having these conversations with the Russian ambassador.

00:45:22.800 He's about to go into office.

00:45:25.000 Flynn is about to go into office.

00:45:26.200 And it's picked up by the national security agencies, not because they're spying on Flynn, but because they're spying on the Russian ambassador.

00:45:36.140 Then that somehow gets leaked to the Washington Post, to David Ignatius.

00:45:40.980 No one, no one's ever, by the way, been charged for this.

00:45:43.820 And you have the contents of General Flynn's conversation with the Russian ambassador splayed out across the pages of the Washington Post.

00:45:53.480 And right now, to your point, we don't really have a system to address that.

00:45:58.040 What they did to General Flynn was unconscionable.

00:46:01.140 It was a travesty.

00:46:02.640 They had to take him out because he was just too dangerous in a Trump administration.

00:46:08.540 And they use any means that they had FISA.

00:46:10.920 That's the way they did it.

00:46:12.040 Plus, just to set up with the FBI interview, what they did to General Flynn, just unforgivable.

00:46:21.200 Precisely.

00:46:21.740 And I think that's something where a lot of conservatives and a lot of Trump supporters that I talk to, when they hear FISA, their mind immediately goes to General Flynn.

00:46:30.820 It goes to Carter Page.

00:46:32.760 And this is also, obviously, I think where President Trump's mind is as well.

00:46:36.580 Do you think there might even be a, and I'm just kind of brainstorming here, but, you know, a way to even just change the entire process itself?

00:46:44.580 Like, take away FISA and come up with some kind of court system that has a little bit more transparency, potentially even for Congress?

00:46:52.760 Well, Jack, you know, what I've been saying is what we have witnessed, the corruption in all these federal agencies, whether we're talking about health agencies, law enforcement, or intelligence, what we're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.

00:47:04.820 We're not even scratching the surface.

00:47:07.200 But, you know, the first thing is we need to expose the truth.

00:47:10.340 They're just not willing to give us the truth.

00:47:13.060 And we've allowed our congressional oversight capabilities, our investigations, just atrophy.

00:47:18.580 I'm ranking member of the permanent subcommittee investigation.

00:47:21.120 This should be the preeminent investigatory body of the Senate.

00:47:24.980 I've got five staff members.

00:47:26.920 My budget was cut under Chairman Peters.

00:47:29.940 They cut the budget.

00:47:31.200 That's how unserious they are about oversight, how unserious they are about investigating, particularly the government, under Democrat control.

00:47:38.460 And, you know, the House right now, I mean, it's like, they're like mosquitoes in a nudist colony.

00:47:43.260 It's a target-rich environment.

00:47:44.940 The left is just flooding the zone.

00:47:47.920 I mean, what all can you look at?

00:47:49.520 But when it comes to corruption in government and these agencies, the corruption, the deep state runs deep.

00:47:55.500 It's pervasive.

00:47:57.060 Mosquitoes.

00:47:58.140 Mosquitoes in a nudist colony.

00:47:59.800 Senator Johnson, I think you've just come up with the best analogy of the year here on Human Events Daily.

00:48:06.820 I don't know that anyone is going to be able to top that.

00:48:09.200 But, Senator, where can people go to follow you, to get more updates, to get more information?

00:48:14.720 And thank you so much for being gracious with your time with us today.

00:48:17.940 Well, Senator, it's just ronjohnson.senate.gov.

00:48:20.480 And you can follow me on Twitter.

00:48:21.560 Just type in Senator Ron Johnson, and you'll get to me.

00:48:24.780 So I appreciate it.

00:48:25.420 All right, Senator Johnson, make sure you're going to follow him, folks.

00:48:29.200 He's giving you the truth.

00:48:30.380 He's telling you how the sausage is made, what's actually going on behind the scenes from the cloakroom to the lobbyist room, all the way down to the floor of the well of the Senate.

00:48:40.780 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, if you have my permission, let us roll it.

00:48:43.740 The stories and mysteries, the hidden tales of the communist history.

00:48:52.840 I want to know the truth, what really went down.

00:48:56.100 So I'm jumping on my computer, going to pre-order town.

00:49:01.360 Pre-ordered in the U.S.

00:49:04.140 Can't wait to get my hands on that book.

00:49:07.300 Gonna dive into the pages.
