00:16:36.580No, of course we don't. And that's why I think for a lot of people up until this week, they didn't even realize there was a DHS shutdown that was going on, because ultimately these are American federal employees who are caught up in the middle of this.
00:16:50.520And they aren't even many times the ones that are involved in the deportations.
00:16:55.180No, we just had a briefing from some ideas from DHS. A lot of the TSA agents, their entry level positions are making about thirty seven thousand dollars a year.
00:17:05.340They're selling their blood to get by.
00:17:07.240They're sleeping in their cars because they can't afford the gas money.
00:17:10.420That's what Democrats are forcing these dedicated public servants who are still on the job, still trying to keep us safe.
00:17:17.020That's the kind of conditions they're putting them through by not funding the agency, the department.
00:17:23.940Yeah, and you look at that and you wonder, of course, you wonder about the security implications of this, by the way, because you're talking about airline security.
00:17:31.360let's go back and remember that we are also talking, combine this with what's going on with
00:17:37.000Iran right now. We saw the situation there down in Austin. Could it be, and I hate to say this,
00:17:42.380but as my prior Navy intelligence officer had on, could it be that this lack of security
00:17:48.920leads to vulnerabilities in the skies with any of these sleepers or radicals that could be here in
00:17:55.500the U.S. That's our concern. And again, we have no idea if there are sleeper cells. How many people
00:18:02.300that are just lone wolves that are sympathetic with the Islamic cause? We have no idea. Again,0.67
00:18:08.040you can't preempt all these things, but you at least need everybody on the job at a heightened
00:18:13.780state of alert in a situation like this. And by not funding DHS, that's not the position we're
00:18:20.020right now. And that's all on the Democrats. No, it clearly is. And we could be using so
00:18:27.460many different ways to secure our airlines and so many different ways to secure, by the way,
00:18:32.920the people who are in this country. And that's something, of course, that DHS has been working
00:18:37.880on. But the Democrats seem like they actually want to hinder that. I wonder why. I want to talk a
00:18:43.520little bit more about the Democrats and the things that they're hindering and unsecuring with the
00:18:47.460Save Act. We come back around. Human Events Daily. Senator Ron Johnson returns.
00:19:00.200Influencers. These are influences. And they're friends of mine. Jack Kosovic. Where's Jack?
00:19:12.440All right, Jack Kosovic. We're back. Human Events Daily. Real America's Voice. We're on with
00:19:15.900Senator Ron Johnson of the great state of Wisconsin. Senator Johnson, one of the things
00:19:20.360that's been going viral across social media, our followers keep asking us about it, our audience
00:19:25.440keep asking us about it, the SAVE Act. What is the status of this? Can we get a briefing
00:19:29.960regarding, I mean, you're an expert on Senate procedure. Where are we at with this, and what
00:19:35.100are the holdups? Now it's called the SAVE America Act, and that's probably a more accurate name.
00:19:40.640Keep in mind, if we're not able to pass this, the blame lies solely on Democrats, because they believe any kind of election security measures, any kind of controls to make sure that your legitimate vote's not canceled out by a fraudulent vote, that is literally existential to their game plan of making America into a one-party nation.
00:20:01.880You know, they opened up the borders, flooded millions of people in this country illegally into sanctuary city-states, beef up their census numbers so they get more members of Congress.
00:20:11.080They want things like mail-in balloting, absentee voting, automatic registration, all these things that weaken the controls to make it easier to cheat.
00:20:26.480So the reason I'm pointing that out, listen, I support the president saying we have to eliminate the filibuster.
00:20:31.880uh i'm sympathetic with my colleagues who who want to cling to the past because the filibuster
00:20:37.640has prevented awful socialist type of legislation in the past but that day has passed democrats
00:20:43.280have signaled the fact that next time they're in power they will end the filibuster
00:20:47.400pack the supreme court turn dc puerto rico to states again that's all part of their game plan
00:20:52.460making this a one-party nation so i understand the sentiment but you have to understand the
00:20:58.040reality. But right now, the reality is we don't have the votes to end the filibuster. So the next
00:21:02.000best thing is the talking filibuster. It seems simple because we have something called a two
00:21:07.560speech rule. The problem is Robert Byrd in 1986, on just a what was just a simple majority vote
00:21:15.380required to change his precedent, they end up getting over 90 votes, basically exempted a lot
00:21:20.960of what we would consider speeches from speeches. So now you can offer an unlimited number of
00:21:24.980It doesn't count toward a speech or motions. So, you know, you think two speeches times 47, you got 94 speeches, you wait them out, make them talk, then you vote at 50. It's not that simple. It's literally an infinite number of amendments.
00:21:39.600And so, at a minimum, what I'm suggesting is let's at least put the Save America Act on the floor, make Democrats, days on end, explain why they are opposed to what 80% of Americans support, which is simple voter ID.
00:21:55.320Again, the kind of controls that make sure that your legitimate vote's not canceled out by a fraudulent one.
00:22:00.840And, you know, I made this proposal to Senator Thune, we can control the process, we can fill the amendment tree, the second amendment tree, we can be dealing with the only amendments we want to deal with, that could quite honestly help, for example, perfect the bill.
00:22:15.660We don't have a prohibition or reasonable limitations on mail-in ballot.
00:22:21.620There are some issues with some of the provisions of the St. America Act in some states like Alaska or others.
00:22:27.320What can we do to solve those problems?
00:22:29.620So actually use a talking filibuster as the way the Senate ought to be used, introduce a piece of legislation, try and amend it, but not from opposing sides, not along amendments that are designed as poison pills, constructive amendments really proposed and controlled by Republicans.
00:22:49.880So I think that's our best shot. And that's that's certainly what I'm pushing is, is let's get on the bill.
00:22:56.080Let's let's offer our amendments and make the Democrats, again, defend what really the indefensible.
00:23:03.140Why are they opposed to what 80 percent of Americans support?
00:23:05.500And you have the on the Democrat side, you've got Mayor Mondami over there in New York City really stepping in it when he was talking about all the different forms of voter ID that were required to register to shovel snow in New York City.
00:23:22.520And yet his party won't come out and support voter ID in terms of the Save Act.
00:23:28.160And this, by the way, is something I'd like to congratulate another another Pennsylvania senator, Dave McCormick, Senator McCormick, for coming out and saying that he supports that.
00:23:36.620But I don't know if this is something that Fetterman is going to get on board for because the Democrats are in lockstep against this, aren't they?
00:23:44.880Yes. As I said, it's existential to their plans.
00:23:48.280If they can't cheat in elections, they have less chance of winning those elections.
00:23:53.180Again, I know you've never proven fraud, but part of the problem is after the election, the deadlines are so tight, people have to certify elections, courts don't really want to get involved in elections, the losing candidate doesn't have the resource to do the investigation.
00:24:07.140So what fraud does occur largely goes uninvestigated and unpunished.
00:24:14.120There's really not a simple solution for that other than maintain the controls up front so you can limit the amount of fraud.
00:24:21.720Let's face it, the Baker-Carter Commission, completely nonpartisan, pointed to absentee ballots as probably the greatest area of potential fraud in our elections.
00:24:29.240And yet, during COVID, we doubled the number of absentee ballots.
00:24:32.400And, of course, Democrats want mail-in balloting, automatic registration completely out of control.
00:24:40.040It's been completely out of control for a long time.
00:24:42.420I mean, look, I came up focusing on elections in Philadelphia, and I think election rules there and voting rules are sort of suggestions in the city of Philadelphia.
00:24:52.760They're known for this type of activity.
00:24:55.420And when you go back and ask them to see their voter rolls, they just can't provide it to you.
00:24:59.240We saw the same thing down in Fulton County in Georgia.
00:25:02.300That's why Senator Ossoff is talking about this.
00:25:05.320He's very loudly against opening up all of this.
00:25:08.340And that's that's a huge problem for them going forward.
00:25:11.820So just walk us through in the last minute that we're on. How would that work? What would the procedure be in the process be to start that talking filibuster?
00:25:19.840So, again, the House already passed. So we just bring it over. I think it's a message from the House we put on the floor and we what we call fill the tree.
00:25:28.380So we fill up the amendment tree with first degree amendments and second degree amendments.
00:25:32.040there will be a pending amendment that we will debate and people can speak to it again if it's
00:25:37.780putting reasonable restrictions on mail-in ballots i mean we would control the amendment process
00:25:42.260you know people like clinton clinton mitchell could feed us all kinds of good amendments you
00:25:46.620can think of them ourselves and we just dispose these amendments one at a time one at a time
00:25:50.960but we stay on this piece of legislation like we're serious about passing it and
00:25:54.480force democrats to defend the indefensible it's really as simple as that senator where can people
00:26:01.240go to follow you for all the updates i just go to x we're pretty easy to find just to ask sen
00:26:06.100ron johnson all right at sen ron johnson go give him a follow folks he's giving you the inside
00:26:12.400baseball on the procedure for the united states senate how to to fight to secure american elections
00:26:18.800with the save america act want to also remind you guys turning point action huge and we haven't
00:26:24.760mentioned i did the big live stream here last night on um you know on uh real america's voice
00:26:31.460talking about the big victories obviously a huge victory there in with ryan or excuse me
00:26:36.320with stephen toth down in texas too huge upset also a big big pitch going in to the midterms
00:26:45.260these runoff elections are going to be absolutely critical so go and check out tpaction.com tpaction.com
00:26:52.480If you want to get involved, if you want to make your voice heard,
00:29:35.960Walk us through how you did this crowded field.
00:29:38.720Not a lot of people were looking at this race.
00:29:40.960but you really were able to stand out? Yeah, really simple. First of all, the Railroad
00:29:47.080Commission has nothing to do with trains. It's the regulatory agency over the oil and gas industry
00:29:51.620in Texas, which clearly is super important to us. We produce almost half the oil and gas in
00:29:55.700the United States. It's a national security issue. It's a jobs issue, really important to our
00:29:59.960economy. But if this was a five-way race with an entrenched incumbent who's very moderate,
00:30:05.840claims he has no ideology. So really, it was always kind of a runoff situation was going to
00:30:11.580be best case scenario. Difficult to get an incumbent into a runoff, as you know. And I'm
00:30:17.880the only candidate who had never run for this position before. So I entered the race. I was
00:30:22.140the last to enter the race. So with 80 days left, came in. But because of my involvement with the
00:30:26.380grassroots over the last decade here in Texas, we had a plan. We executed that plan. We got almost
00:30:32.280every conservative grassroots organization to get behind my campaign. We had an army of people
00:30:37.060working. And really, the results were fantastic. Really happy to be in a runoff with the incumbent.
00:30:43.880And did you expect, I mean, you must have known coming up that the kind of support you would have,
00:30:49.760but do you expect that it would be such a runaway? I mean, I look at the difference between you
00:30:54.060and the next candidate. There's a huge delta there. You're going up against an incumbent.
00:30:58.120Did you really have that headwinds going into election day?
00:31:02.280Well, actually, I think I actually performed better in early voting than I did on election day. You know, turnout was pretty high in Texas, we had a couple million people vote in, in the Republican primary. You know, the early voters were probably a little bit more informed, probably a little more closely connected to the grassroots organizations than election day voters. So that would probably was the difference there.
00:31:22.880So that actually bodes well for the for the runoff, because, you know, maybe half as many people will vote in the runoff, maybe a million people in Texas.
00:31:30.280And so, you know, those will likely be more like the early voters were a little bit more informed.
00:31:36.420They'll do their due diligence on the candidates. And so I feel pretty good about where we are.
00:31:41.300Now, are you using that strategy, that ballot ballot chasing, ballot harvesting kind of strategy to be able to bank those early votes?
00:31:48.440You did that in the primary. Are you going to do that as well in the runoff? Is that going to be a big focus?
00:31:52.880Yeah, you know, listen, this is a down ballot statewide race. It's, you know, and Texas is a huge state. So that would be really, really costly. So we had to be a little bit more innovative and just really leverage, you know, the grassroots folks. And, and so yeah, we're certainly, you know, had a robust get out the vote program, and, and really just trying to educate the voters that we thought were going to be at the polling locations.
00:32:16.180So you talked about how the position deals not so much with railroads, but actually any lines, which, of course, would consider oil and gas.
00:32:25.820What's the current status of the position? Why run against an incumbent?
00:32:30.240Yeah, so it's a commission. There's actually three commissioners. They have staggered six-year terms.
00:32:35.300So this particular guy, he's the current chairman. He's implemented a massive DEI program.
00:32:41.940You look at his personal political donations, and he's a Democrat mega-donor.
00:32:47.640So I think what we saw was that conservative voters across Texas, primary voters, were not very happy with that.
00:32:55.780He also instituted, specifically in the Railroad Commission, he instituted the biggest regulatory hurdles on the oil and gas business in our history.
00:33:04.920And so, you know, hearkening back to Biden EPA type regulations will hurt jobs in Texas, will hurt our economy.
00:33:12.960And frankly, you know, it makes it more difficult for operators to extract the oil from the ground.
00:33:17.060And so, you know, when you think about creating jobs, having a robust energy and really strengthening our economy, he's kind of done everything wrong.
00:33:28.640Well, and that's exactly the key here, because, look, you see everything that's going on in the news with Iran.
00:33:33.680We're talking about Strait of Hormuz. We're talking about global oil flows, but we don't need to worry as much about the Strait of Hormuz if we worry about things like the Permian Basin and oil and gas regulations right there in Texas, where we could actually focus on this development, which would, of course, drive down our adversaries and be able to keep the focus on jobs right here.
00:33:54.700You're exactly right. I mean, President Trump knows that oil and gas are national security.
00:33:59.220Venezuela, the number one oil reserves in the world. Iran, the number three oil reserves in
00:34:03.520the world. I mean, there's a reason why these countries have been in the crosshairs. And so,1.00
00:34:07.100you know, we obviously live that every day here in Texas. We know how important it is.
00:34:11.580And, you know, really happy that the voters agreed with my campaign.
00:34:16.440Now, when you look at some of the other races, obviously, we're going to see the Senate race go
00:34:20.580to a runoff as well. What effect do you think that will have on your race? Are you going to
00:34:26.520see this sort of grassroots versus establishment, same type of pressure put in? We also know there's
00:34:32.400going to be a ton of money spent on the Senate race. Obviously, we'll have some tailwinds down
00:34:37.300for you as well. I think there are a lot of cross currents happening. You know, we have
00:34:41.200the Governor Abbott's endorsements. You have President Trump's endorsements. Sometimes those
00:34:45.820work. Sometimes they don't. There's going to be a ton of money. The establishment will spend a
00:34:50.080fortune on on you know for their preferred candidates uh that's the headwind i'm facing
00:34:54.560really is is just how much money i was outspent four or five maybe even six to one uh in this
00:34:59.620race and and ended up essentially even with the uh with the incumbent so it's you know we have
00:35:04.100we have a difficult uh sort of three months here may 26th is the runoff election so um you know
00:35:09.900the the campaign to this point has been really busy but i suspect i'm going to be three times
00:35:14.300is busy between now and May 26th. Now, are you planning some events? Are you going to be going
00:35:20.300all the way across the state? I will be all over the state. We're going to have fundraisers. We're
00:35:24.700going to have events. I would suspect, you know, a debate or two with the incumbent. So it should
00:35:30.320be a very, you know, there's on a statewide race basis, there's only a couple of, you know, other
00:35:36.620runoffs. Now, there's some congressional candidates. I know you've been talking about
00:35:39.720that. They're going to have runoffs. But, you know, yesterday was really a great day for the
00:35:43.840state of Texas. A lot of conservative wins. So, you know, we feel really encouraged about the
00:35:49.360direction that our state is headed. When you look at and, you know, I understand asking someone to
00:35:55.640comment on other races is what it is. But when you look at the unseating of Congressman Crenshaw
00:36:00.140down there outside of Houston, what do you attribute that to? Is that a local issue or
00:36:04.680is that a sort of a national versus local situation? I think it's a little of both. You
00:36:08.740know, I mean, he really was just very unpopular with the conservatives in Texas. He had not been
00:36:13.200a strong conservative at all and really defied conservatives on many issues.
00:36:23.820You're taking someone who's really been a thorn in the side to conservatives for a long
00:36:27.440time and replacing with someone who's going to be an America first, just absolute warrior.
00:36:32.260So that was a huge race and really exciting.
00:36:36.240And I think it goes to show when, you know, same as with Senator Cornyn, that the grassroots
00:36:41.760do not necessarily respond to money. The grassroots do not necessarily respond just
00:36:46.220because someone's been in office for some time that the grassroots are going to stick with the
00:36:50.900issues. It's as simple as that. Yeah, there's no question. The Senate race is going to be
00:36:55.680interesting. I'm not sure exactly how that's going to play out. I mean, I have my personal
00:36:58.940preference, but it looks like President Trump posted a little while ago, it looks like he is
00:37:03.720going to make an endorsement in that race. So I think things are going to get very interesting.
00:37:07.440Well, I certainly see it as that. Beau French, tell people where they can go to support you, to keep an eye on the race, and also to find out who you would be supporting for the next mass deportation.
00:37:20.780Well, 100 million people, that's who needs to go, as I've said many times. But yeah, you can find me on X, Beau French TX. Thanks for having me on, Jack.
00:37:29.800i i love it beau french on x he's he's over there at both french and he just when whenever these
00:37:35.680guys they start trolling he just hits deport deport deport deport 100 million he's a great

00:37:48.920this the jack posobic appreciation hour i can say confidently i believe i think josh shapiro
00:38:00.200would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for jack posobic and that that is i'll be honest
00:38:05.240all right jack posobic we are back live human events daily very excited to have on our next
00:38:16.260guest, because we are going in a member of the Romanian Chamber of Deputies, as well as chairman
00:38:23.640of AUR, and a leader in the European side, the European Party, George Simeon, joins us now. George,
00:38:31.160how are you? Hi, Jack. Nice to be on your show again. Nice to be in Washington, D.C., again,
00:38:37.680for a couple of reasons. One is a great conference that will start today,
00:38:43.920hosted by Anna Paulina Luna, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson will be there,
00:38:50.140and representatives from 50 countries, 38 countries that send out members of the parliament.
00:38:59.960So we have a big, big gathering these days in D.C.
00:39:04.500It's huge, and it's all put together by turning point action.
00:39:08.400And just incredible to be put a part of this international force and to take those conservative values that Charlie Kirk championed and the traditional values that Charlie Kirk championed and be able to meet with people nation or not just in the nation, but of many nations to join together, to understand that it is sovereign nations working together to fight for those traditional values.
00:39:32.860And I think, really, that's where everyone, even if we have differences of opinion on certain things, that's where everyone comes into agreement, isn't it?
00:39:41.640Actually, the example of Charlie Kirk is cherished across the free world.
00:39:48.460In Europe, we had many, many events in remembrance of Charlie Kirk.
00:39:55.380And I don't think we are that different.
00:39:58.620I think that any new step back, any adversary we have remembers us that we are the same.
00:40:13.400We saw the example of Spain in the last two days.
00:40:17.060And I could have told you many years ago that Pedro Sanchez and the current government in Spain is against America,
00:40:26.360is against president trump and we have this kind of governments across europe and we must separate
00:40:35.160the waters we must separate good from bad and the real conservatives the real fighters from
00:40:43.080the rhinos like you spoke earlier in texas elections well no that's that's exactly right
00:40:52.100We still have to worry about those those rhino hunts.
00:40:55.060And I appreciate what you said as well about Charlie and so many people who sent so many of those international wishes and prayers for Charlie and for his family.0.52
00:41:05.220And for those of us who were going through that, and I'm glad to see that the Turning Point legacy is continuing now as we as we push into the next year and beyond,
00:41:16.400because we can't allow this political leftist violence to come up against us.
00:41:21.580But unfortunately, this is the problem, isn't it? That there are people who oppose their values.
00:41:28.780And so they choose violence and they choose censorship rather than allowing for free debate.
00:41:34.640And this is becoming a problem in the EU as well, isn't it?
00:41:36.880Well, you pointed it out. You are so true. And I must admire the efforts that the current administration is doing to fight against censorship for the freedom of speech.
00:41:54.860I saw the efforts made by Undersecretary of State Sarah Rogers, by Secretary Mark Rubio, and by everyone, including we saw the report on the House Judiciary Committee about DSA.
00:42:15.660And this report had an important impact in the Romanian society and in the European society.
00:42:24.020We need you to fight against censorship, not only here at home, but also across the free world,
00:42:32.460because there's a phenomenon that is widespread by Soros agents.
00:42:38.840And I'm coming from Romania, the country where we had an old elections,
00:42:44.880where Colin Georgescu should have been the president,
00:42:48.400But Antony Blinken, Emmanuel Macron and other bad people who were in charge in 2024 decided to have a puppet president in Romania.
00:43:06.100And more and more government and more and more elections are won by right wing, by conservative, by anti-establishment people across the world.
00:43:17.060So your efforts for the freedom of speech are appreciated.
00:43:22.780And I'm glad that also at this level we can separate good from evil
00:43:30.200and we can separate the defenders of freedom of speech
00:43:33.360by those who are imposing censorship under false pretextes.
00:43:40.240Now in the European Union there is a huge debate
00:43:43.020that we should censor the social networks in order to protect our children.
00:43:48.940OK, we all agree we should protect our children, but censorship is not the way.
00:43:57.060Well, censorship is always a dual-edged sword, George.
00:44:00.740I want to also ask regarding debates in the EU.
00:44:04.840Of course, you mentioned Pedro Sanchez, and he has, of course, been quite vocal on the United States
00:44:10.460and the current military operations, war with Iran.
00:44:15.380What is Europe's view regarding Iran, regarding America's and Trump's new operation there?
00:44:22.960Well, we have many globalists in charge in the European Union who are against President Trump,
00:44:31.020and they are criticizing every move that President Trump is making.
00:44:37.720and we can see now that they are not friends of America,
00:44:42.940they are friends maybe of China or of Russia.
00:44:48.340The U.S. was forced into this war because diplomacy failed, unfortunately.
00:44:56.540I think the U.S. won with a tactical surprise in the first days
00:45:03.580And I hope the United States and President Trump will be able to secure a strategic victory.
00:45:12.260We all need peace, but it's peace through strength.
00:45:16.960It's time to discourage any terrorists, any radical Islamists, any country that wants to send bombs.
00:45:29.340and it's a rearrangement in the world order.
00:45:35.600It's clearly a fight between the United States and China,
00:45:40.540and it's clearly a turning point for President Trump,
00:45:46.460who wants to win this war for the American people
00:45:51.380and for the supremacy in the next 10, 20 years.
00:45:56.260Well, that's right, and President Trump understands
00:45:59.180that this is a geopolitical strategy. There is a game of chess here between the United States,
00:46:07.180Russia and China. And of course, Iran being a key ally for Russia and China, especially when
00:46:14.360it comes to their key resource of oil and that being able to be constrained, that being able to
00:46:22.460be put, perhaps neutralized or even even switched in terms of allegiance. So when I get too far away
00:46:29.820from the current situation, but that is absolutely going to cause problems for China as they've been0.87
00:46:36.040trying to push and fuel their war machine and their economy all across the world, including
00:46:41.520in Europe. Yeah, but you could see many countries which take more and more illegal migrants,
00:46:49.900which are or will become soon califats.
00:46:55.620You could see these countries that are opposing the United States,0.90
00:47:02.060are opposing President Trump and are protecting Iran, the crazy Ayatollah regime.0.88
00:47:12.460So it comes to a point where we often said Europe is not any longer friends with the United States and Europe is not any longer Europe.0.96
00:47:27.980So we must repair the globalist governments in Europe and we must strengthen the transatlantic relation.
00:47:36.580And fight for the Western shared Western civilization and Christian heritage.
00:47:41.320george simian of romania thank you so much for joining us human events daily ladies and gentlemen
