00:00:40.000 I want to thank Charlie, he's an incredible guy.

00:01:03.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts iTrust.
00:01:05.000 Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtod.com.
00:01:11.000 Joining us now exclusively, Senator Colton Moore, a great American.
00:01:16.000 There is fight left in the state of Georgia.
00:01:19.000 And there is an official petition to investigate Fannie Willis, as well as now his letter to Governor Brian Kemp.
00:01:26.000 I'm going to read this.
00:01:27.000 Colton Moore, welcome to the program.
00:01:29.000 Dear Governor Kemp, we, the undersigned, being the duly elected members of the Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia Senate, and compromising three fifths of each respective House, pursuant to Article 4, Section 2, paragraph. 7B, making sure my Roman numerals are right.
00:01:43.000 Hereby certify to you in writing with a copy of the Secretary of State that, in our opinion, an emergency exists in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under that section for all purposes to include to that limitation the review and response of the actions of Fannie Willis.
00:01:55.000 Sincerely, Colton Moore.
00:01:56.000 Colton, welcome to the program.
00:01:57.000 Tell us about it.
00:01:59.000 Charlie, thank you for having me.
00:02:00.000 I mean, we're in a dire situation.
00:02:04.000 After these indictments came out, I woke up, ate my biscuit, and I was like, is there a hair in my biscuit?
00:02:10.000 I mean, this is disgusting.
00:02:12.000 We have a district attorney using taxpayer money, using her government authority to persecute her political opponent to the tune of the death penalty.
00:02:24.000 I will not be a sitting senator in this state and potentially have the former president be executed in the state of Georgia.
00:02:33.000 Yeah.
00:02:34.000 So let's just kind of walk through this.
00:02:36.000 You are now leading a legislative campaign of oversight.
00:02:40.000 What does that look like constitutionally in the state of Georgia?
00:02:44.000 Tell us about it.
00:02:46.000 So, I have a job to do as a senator, Carly.
00:02:49.000 And part of that job in the legislature is providing oversight.
00:02:53.000 The Constitution gives us some tools to do that.
00:02:56.000 First of which is the power of the purse, right?
00:02:58.000 We control the money.
00:03:00.000 And my constituents, Georgians outside of the city of Atlanta, don't feel that their tax dollars ought to be used for this type of purpose.
00:03:08.000 You know, we've also got the power to investigate any judicial or executive official.
00:03:13.000 And we ought to be doing an investigation on Fonnie Willis.
00:03:16.000 And if that investigation turns out that she's corrupt, like many of us suspect, it's time for impeachment.
00:03:23.000 And so, what is impeachment?
00:03:24.000 So, in the Georgia Constitution, the House or the Senate can impeach a prosecutor.
00:03:29.000 Is that correct?
00:03:30.000 That's correct.
00:03:31.000 Yeah.
00:03:32.000 It's one of those checks and balances that we're blessed with here in the presidential system of American government.
00:03:38.000 So, let me ask you what is the.
00:03:42.000 Read the room for us amongst your colleagues.
00:03:44.000 Yeah.
00:03:45.000 Yeah.
00:03:46.000 You're leading this.
00:03:47.000 It's now going totally viral as finally.
00:03:50.000 Praise God, good on you.
00:03:51.000 Let's use some of this constitutional power to slow this down, investigate her.
00:03:56.000 Was she given an external power?
00:03:57.000 And why is she indicting the entire Republican Party?
00:04:01.000 It's not just Trump, it's John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Jen Ellis.
00:04:04.000 It's totally out of control.
00:04:06.000 It's a fellow senator, it's a colleague of mine in the Senate.
00:04:08.000 Is it also included on that indictment?
00:04:11.000 So, what is the temperature check of the Georgia Senate?
00:04:16.000 Is this going to be met?
00:04:18.000 Yeah, please.
00:04:19.000 Yeah, I mean, Republicans in the state of Georgia are asleep at the wheel.
00:04:24.000 Okay.
00:04:25.000 Everything is talk, talk, talk.
00:04:26.000 I talk to my other fellow senators, and everything's, ah, well, you know, we're.
00:04:31.000 Kind of wait this out, talk about it.
00:04:33.000 You know, let's post a tweet.
00:04:34.000 You know, let's make a Facebook post.
00:04:36.000 I have a job to do.
00:04:37.000 It's time to take action.
00:04:39.000 And Charlie, let me tell you right after this, and I was having dinner with my mother.
00:04:44.000 And I told her, I said, no more talk.
00:04:46.000 Like, I have a job to do.
00:04:48.000 Time to take action.
00:04:49.000 And she was worried.
00:04:50.000 She's like, I don't know.
00:04:52.000 You know, they've got these guys charged with crimes that could potentially result in lethal injection.
00:04:57.000 I don't know if I want you meddling in them.
00:05:00.000 And I was like, Mom, That's the time to take action because, as a red blooded American, you should never fear a Gestapo political tactic from a power like a DA.
00:05:11.000 So, I don't want to get you in trouble here, but just I want to add, I want to drill this down.
00:05:15.000 Your other, do you think your colleagues are going to support this?
00:05:20.000 Oh, I think when their constituents start calling them up, they're going to be supporting them.
00:05:23.000 Boom.
00:05:23.000 Right.
00:05:23.000 Because it's time to take action.
00:05:25.000 Well, according to Fannie Willis, it's a conspiracy to ask your lawmakers to do something, but whatever.
00:05:32.000 Let's just.
00:05:33.000 Be clear.
00:05:33.000 So, for the Patriots of Georgia, they need to call their state rep and their state senator.
00:05:37.000 And what is the ask?
00:05:38.000 What is the order?
00:05:40.000 To help us with this process to begin defunding the district attorney and investigating her through the means of a special session.
00:05:48.000 That's our job as a legislature to put a check and balance on this judicial branch.
00:05:54.000 To put a check and balance on the judicial branch.
00:05:56.000 And praise God, you have the courage to do this.
00:05:58.000 Were you cautioned not to get into this by certain, let's just say, Older Republicans?
00:06:04.000 Were you told, don't send this letter?
00:06:07.000 You know, the caution comes in many forms.
00:06:11.000 They're all cautious.
00:06:12.000 And that's the scary part.
00:06:15.000 That's what makes me so afraid.
00:06:16.000 I'm 29 years old, Carly.
00:06:18.000 I do not want to live the next 30 years of my life worried about a regime.
00:06:22.000 I mean, this is some Putin fascist nonsense.
00:06:26.000 So the letter is composed to the governor.
00:06:32.000 Does he have to be the one to actually call the special senator?
00:06:35.000 No, no.
00:06:35.000 So, so, Part of that check and balance process, the governor himself could call a special session and we could start right now.
00:06:42.000 We could start tomorrow.
00:06:43.000 But the governor has already made his statement.
00:06:46.000 You know, he's looking back at this like this is a 2020 issue.
00:06:50.000 Well, it took 19 days to count the votes, and these individuals have a legitimate concern about the election, right?
00:06:57.000 They were using their First Amendment to express concern about the election.
00:07:02.000 And then now they're being charged with it.
00:07:03.000 They're being taken political prisoner.
00:07:06.000 And so, so then you guys can call the session with, so three days.
00:07:10.000 That's right.
00:07:10.000 Without the governor.
00:07:11.000 Got it.
00:07:11.000 Right.
00:07:12.000 Without the governor.
00:07:12.000 Does he preside over it or is he called into it or?
00:07:16.000 No, no.
00:07:16.000 This, this is what the legislature would be operating independently and it gives us full subpoena power.
00:07:22.000 So, what are the, what are the numbers, the House and the Senate, as far as this, the Republican majorities?
00:07:28.000 So, if every Republican in the Senate signed on, we would have, we would have what was necessary.
00:07:33.000 It's going to take every GOP Republican to stand up.
00:07:37.000 And abide by the principles of freedom, regardless of whether you like Donald Trump or not, regardless if you have a beef with some of these other folks who were indicted.
00:07:46.000 These folks were using their freedom of expression and they had a concern.
00:07:52.000 So, the problem we're going to have over in the House is we're going to have to pick up a few Democrats.
00:07:56.000 The margins are a little tighter there.
00:07:58.000 But here's the other thing about this district attorney.
00:08:00.000 The ACLU reports that half of the inmates in her jail have yet to be charged with a crime.
00:08:07.000 And meanwhile, we've got Young Thug, Young Slime, who's got RICO charges similar to what these political prisoners are about to have.
00:08:16.000 And they haven't even picked a jury in over a year now.
00:08:20.000 So now we have evidence.
00:08:22.000 It's Young Thug.
00:08:23.000 I thought, is this some sort of a rapper or something?
00:08:27.000 I believe so.
00:08:28.000 I'm not a big rap music fan, but his name is Young Thug.
00:08:28.000 Yeah.
00:08:31.000 And I think the crime syndicate is called Young Slime.
00:08:36.000 Got it.
00:08:36.000 So they're standing for Rico charges and she's going easy on him.
00:08:42.000 Meanwhile, so I mean, and by the way, Fulton County, it's like a third world country.
00:08:46.000 When I go there, crime is up, it's terrible.
00:08:49.000 And yet she's going, she's trying an interstate Rico case.
00:08:54.000 And claims that she can get it done in like six months, right?
00:08:58.000 And 18 people.
00:08:59.000 And yet, it's ridiculous.
00:09:01.000 And yet, Republicans are asleep at the wheel and say, I don't know, just let it play out.
00:09:07.000 So, we have to wake up the Republican Party.
00:09:09.000 I'm sure you have some colleagues that are going to stand with you, but we have to pressure each Republican Georgia senator one by one.
00:09:17.000 We need every county in Georgia.
00:09:18.000 We need mass mobilization.
00:09:20.000 This is the call to action.
00:09:21.000 I just want you to riff on this.
00:09:23.000 I'll be honest, I love the people of the state of Georgia.
00:09:25.000 I love Georgia, but you guys have really disappointed in some ways in the last couple of years.
00:09:32.000 This is a chance for Georgia redemption.
00:09:35.000 Yeah, no doubt.
00:09:36.000 This is it.
00:09:37.000 I'm going to be probably looking for other states to move to if I have to worry about the former president being executed for using his First Amendment rights.
00:09:50.000 I want to fight for freedom, Charlie.
00:09:52.000 That's why I'm here.
00:09:52.000 I'm a senator.
00:09:53.000 The people duly elected me to do a job, and my job gives me certain powers, certain checks and balances as a legislator, and I have to take full advantage of that authority.
00:10:07.000 Listen, as students begin heading back to school, do you think they'll be learning about the founding principles that made America the freest, most prosperous nation in history?
00:10:14.000 Will they learn that our unalienable rights are God given and not granted by government?
00:10:18.000 Will they be given a full and honest account of our nation's history?
00:10:21.000 The answer to all these questions is yes for students at Hillsdale College.
00:10:25.000 And these days, in addition to teaching college students, Hillsdale has extended its teaching to K 12 students and lifelong learners like you and me.
00:10:33.000 If you're not doing so already, one of the best ways to start learning from my friends at Hillsdale is through In Primus.

00:11:10.000 Colton Moore continues with us.
00:11:13.000 So, Colton, now is the time for the Constitution to be primary.
00:11:23.000 Can you just tell us have there been some private conversations or text messages from colleagues that are disgusted with this indictment from Fannie Ellis?
00:11:30.000 What has been the consensus Republican reaction amongst your colleagues?
00:11:35.000 No, absolutely.
00:11:36.000 I mean, I think a lot of folks are disgusted.
00:11:38.000 I think a lot of people are reluctant to say anything.
00:11:41.000 The best suggestion I've heard from any of my colleagues.
00:11:45.000 Is maybe we'll just put up a bar complaint.
00:11:49.000 That's not our role as a legislator.
00:11:52.000 That's really a bar complaint.
00:11:54.000 Teach them a bar complaint.
00:11:55.000 That's your typical Republican response.
00:11:57.000 And the public doesn't even know about that.
00:11:59.000 It's all private.
00:11:59.000 Nobody's going to hear about it.
00:12:01.000 Nothing's ever going to happen, right?
00:12:03.000 This is our job as legislators to take action, to implement our authority.
00:12:09.000 And our authority is to defund.
00:12:12.000 We can move the purse, we have the power of the tax dollar, and also to investigate, to provide oversight.
00:12:19.000 And this district attorney has to have some oversight when you've got Young Thug and Young Slime taking a year to pick a jury.
00:12:27.000 But meanwhile, you're going to take on some political prisoners, charge them with crimes so strong you could be put to death if found convicted, and try to do it in six months.
00:12:37.000 Yeah, and I would just remind your colleagues Georgia does not look favorable to the rest of the country right now.
00:12:43.000 This is a joke.
00:12:44.000 And I'm glad you're standing up.
00:12:46.000 It is becoming, it is well known just kind of as now one of the most corrupt, backward states in the country.
00:12:52.000 And that's too bad because the people of Georgia are wonderful.
00:12:55.000 Play Cut 90.
00:12:57.000 That I am told.
00:12:58.000 This is hearsay, but I am told by a reliable source that Friday evening, somebody from Washington called the district attorney in Atlanta and said, you have to indict on Monday.
00:13:09.000 We have to cover up all of the mistakes we just made with Weiss.
00:13:13.000 And she said, apparently, my jurors aren't coming back till Tuesday.
00:13:17.000 And they said, you didn't hear me.
00:13:19.000 You have to indict on Monday.
00:13:21.000 And she said, well, they're not going to get here before noon.
00:13:24.000 They said, it doesn't matter.
00:13:25.000 She said, this means it's going to be eight or nine or 10 o'clock at night.
00:13:28.000 I said, it doesn't matter.
00:13:30.000 We need the news media shifting.
00:13:32.000 Who made that phone call?
00:13:35.000 We don't know.
00:13:36.000 And I'm telling you up front, this is hearsay, but it's from a person who has remarkably good sources.
00:13:41.000 I totally believe it, though, because that would explain why they leaked and they messed up on the clerk document, why she was exhausted, and why they had the 11 p.m. press conference, Mr. Speaker.
00:13:51.000 Wow.
00:13:52.000 First time hearing of this.
00:13:54.000 Your reaction.
00:13:56.000 I mean, I'm not surprised.
00:13:58.000 I mean, I don't think any American is surprised.
00:14:00.000 I don't think any Georgian is surprised.
00:14:02.000 I mean, the biggest surprise of all is that they're following through with this type of RICO nonsense themselves.
00:14:09.000 I mean, it's organized political oppression.
00:14:13.000 It's organized political oppression, and it's a direct all out assault on the Constitution.
00:14:17.000 So, in the time I have remaining, Colton, repeat the call to action.
00:14:20.000 What is the best case scenario here?
00:14:22.000 The call to action is if you're in Georgia, let your legislators know you're demanding them to do their job.
00:14:31.000 We have a legislative obligation.
00:14:34.000 To oversee judicial and executive branches of government, we also control the purse.
00:14:41.000 Let's use that.
00:14:42.000 Let's take advantage of that authority because I tell you what, my constituents and people all over Georgia, they don't want their tax dollars funding this type of regime.
00:14:52.000 To find out more information about me, you can go to coltonmore.com.
00:14:56.000 You can also sign on to our official petition there and get involved.
00:15:00.000 We need your help.
00:15:01.000 We got a country to save, Charlie.
00:15:02.000 Yes, we do.
00:15:03.000 Georgia, we need you to rise up, contact your legislators.
00:15:08.000 And if you can't defund Fannie Willis, if you can't impeach her, then we're in a much darker place.
00:15:14.000 But Colton, you have courage and we appreciate you.
00:15:16.000 Thank you so much.
00:15:17.000 Charlie, so do you.
00:15:18.000 And I've been following you from the very get go, and I couldn't be more appreciative of the work you do for this country and great America.
00:15:24.000 Hold the line in the Georgia Senate.
00:15:26.000 We appreciate you.
00:15:27.000 Thank you.
00:15:30.000 Hey, everybody.
00:15:31.000 And like many of you, I'm a busy guy balancing family show travel and TPUSA.
00:15:31.000 Charlie Kirk here.
00:15:36.000 When I needed a mortgage, I went to my friends, Andrew Delray and Todd Avakian at Sierra Pacific.
00:15:41.000 They were amazing.
00:15:42.000 And look, I had some complicated stuff.
00:15:43.000 Don't need to go into the details.
00:15:45.000 They handled it personally.
00:15:47.000 Call them if you have an aging family member, for example, that needs some financial relief.
00:15:52.000 Ask them about a reverse mortgage.
00:15:53.000 If you're self-employed and are finding it difficult to qualify because of that, they have my 100% full and complete endorsement.
00:16:00.000 Call them and help you prepare.
00:16:02.000 I'm telling you anything mortgage related, please call them and not the big woke bags.

00:16:32.000 Joining us right now, one of the few heroes in Washington, D.C., Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.
00:16:39.000 Senator, thank you for taking time.
00:16:40.000 There has been widespread outrage over the developments regarding Weiss and him becoming a special counsel.
00:16:48.000 Walk through your reaction and how we should think about Weiss now allegedly investigating all of Hunter Biden's misdeeds.
00:16:56.000 Well, you first have to understand who David Weiss is.
00:17:00.000 Yes, he was appointed by Trump, but he's recommended by two Democrat senators coming from the Democrat machine out of Delaware.
00:17:08.000 So you can't really look at him as a Republican partisan really wanting to uncover the truth.
00:17:12.000 He had this investigation for five years.
00:17:15.000 He allowed the statute of limitations to expire on some of the more serious tax charges.
00:17:19.000 He was the one who was in charge, and I would call it a sleazy sweetheart plea agreement.
00:17:25.000 They're trying to pull the wool over the judge's eyes.
00:17:27.000 Fortunately, she had her eyes open, and she didn't let them get away with it.
00:17:31.000 So there are two.
00:17:32.000 Primary requirements in terms of special counsel one, that individual ought to be outside of government.
00:17:39.000 David Weiss obviously doesn't qualify there, he's inside government.
00:17:43.000 But even more importantly, the special counsel should be independent.
00:17:46.000 As I've been saying, you know, you take 8 billion people on the planet, if you have to find the one person that the least independence when it comes to the Hunter Biden investigation, it would be David Weiss, and that's who Merrick Garland appointed.
00:17:59.000 Now, the other point to make as well is either Merrick Garland or David Weiss lied to Congress.
00:18:07.000 Is this one way for them to prevent Congress from investigating and determine exactly which one of them did lie to Congress?
00:18:14.000 So, are you going to have an opportunity?
00:18:16.000 So, I guess the question is because he's now been named a special counsel, is he now unsubpoenaable, for lack of a better term, meaning you can't subpoena him or you can't bring him in front of Congress because he says it's an act of investigation?
00:18:29.000 Well, listen, I think the House can use their subpoena power and they can try and enforce it by using their sergeant at arms.
00:18:37.000 There are things the House could do that generally.
00:18:39.000 Congress doesn't like doing, but we better start enforcing our constitutional authority and our ability to conduct oversight.
00:18:47.000 You know, one of the things I've been pointing out is how outmanned Congress is.
00:18:51.000 We have tens, hundreds of thousands of people in these departments and agencies.
00:18:55.000 As the ranking member on the permanent subcommittee investigation of the Senate, I have five staff members, five.
00:19:04.000 And partly because Congress really doesn't want to conduct oversight.
00:19:08.000 When they spend trillions of dollars, they really don't want to see how that's misspent.
00:19:12.000 Obviously, when you have Senate controlled by Democrats, they sure don't want to be investigating the Democrat administration.
00:19:21.000 So we've got a real problem on a bipartisan basis.
00:19:25.000 There's just not much of a desire to conduct meaningful oversight investigations from Congress.
00:19:29.000 And as a result, our oversight capability has pretty well withered on the vine.
00:19:34.000 Yeah, and that's too bad because you have the fourth branch of government that is unelected, unaccountable, unlimited amounts of power at times, with seemingly unlimited amounts of money.
00:19:46.000 And Congress has just punted and punted over the last 100 years.
00:19:49.000 And the Leviathan, you need checks and balances against it.
00:19:53.000 And it seems as if the fourth branch of government is running Congress more than Congress is running the fourth branch of government.
00:19:59.000 Okay, speaking of which, is the FDA.
00:20:01.000 The FDA should be able to call the heal by Congress.
00:20:05.000 The FDA is a creation of Congress.
00:20:07.000 The FDA did not create Congress.
00:20:10.000 And there's been some very interesting developments regarding the FDA and ivermectin.
00:20:13.000 Let's play Cut Seven.
00:20:15.000 We learned this morning that the FDA is now saying that it's okay to take ivermectin.
00:20:23.000 If you have COVID.
00:20:24.000 Marie, you know the doctors I've been dealing with and talking to for years now.
00:20:30.000 They believe that probably hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their lives because they were denied early treatment.
00:20:35.000 And they were denied it because the FDA sabotaged, for example, ivermectin.
00:20:39.000 And they said, come on, y'all, you're not a cow, you're not a horse.
00:20:41.000 This was supposedly horse medicine.
00:20:43.000 No, this was a Nobel Prize winning medicine that could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
00:20:50.000 That could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
00:20:52.000 Also, could have prevented mass mail and voting.
00:20:56.000 Could have prevented lockdowns, could have prevented kids from becoming the most suicidal generation in history.
00:21:02.000 Senator, you deserve such praise and credit and courage.
00:21:04.000 You were speaking out when your colleagues, many of whom refused to, your reaction to the recent FDA developments.
00:21:11.000 Well, I think it's interesting now that they're challenged in court.
00:21:15.000 I was saying, oh, we never denied access to ivermectin.
00:21:20.000 We never denied doctors their off label prescription rights.
00:21:24.000 They by and large did.
00:21:26.000 I mean, when the FDA comes out with that kind of tweet and then.
00:21:29.000 Uses the media, and we know how federal officials use social media to censor true information, spread their own misinformation.
00:21:40.000 They sabotage early treatment.
00:21:41.000 Why?
00:21:42.000 Because they were hell bent on making sure that a vaccine got in every arm, not only in America, but globally, with this untested mRNA gene therapy platform.
00:21:53.000 That, as of today, on theirs, we have over 35,500 deaths reported worldwide.
00:21:59.000 25% of those deaths are occurring on day zero, one, or two following vaccination.
00:22:04.000 And of course, Veyers doesn't prove causation.
00:22:06.000 I realize that, but that's a pretty concerning correlation.
00:22:09.000 The other thing that Veyers generally does is it dramatically understates adverse events and deaths.
00:22:14.000 So I don't know why our federal officials are paying no attention to their own safety surveillance system.
00:22:19.000 They don't want to know.
00:22:20.000 The body count is way too high.
00:22:23.000 They'll never admit they're wrong.
00:22:24.000 And unfortunately, they have the power to make it very difficult to prove them wrong.
00:22:27.000 I mean, you're painting an awfully bleak picture here, Senator.
00:22:30.000 You've been in the Senate now for what, 13 years?
00:22:33.000 You came in as a businessman.
00:22:35.000 I just am asking you kind of a more kind of this reflective question.
00:22:39.000 Did you ever think 13 years later you'd be saying the body count is really high and our government doesn't care?
00:22:44.000 No.
00:22:46.000 I knew the government was pretty dysfunctional.
00:22:47.000 I came in, we were $14 trillion in debt.
00:22:50.000 Now we're $33 trillion in debt.
00:22:52.000 We racked up in the first 10 months of this fiscal year a deficit of $1.62 trillion.
00:22:57.000 Unacceptable.
00:22:58.000 I've been investigating federal agencies.
00:23:00.000 They do not comply with subpoenas, they don't tell us the truth.
00:23:04.000 I don't trust anything federal government.
00:23:07.000 And federal agencies tell me anymore.
00:23:09.000 I just don't.
00:23:10.000 I have no reason to trust them.
00:23:12.000 They've run operations against me.
00:23:13.000 They've given me unsecured briefings, then leaked those to the media to smear me and impact the Wisconsin 22 election.
00:23:20.000 Federal law enforcement have interfered in the 2016 to 2022.
00:23:25.000 Now they're interfering in the 2024 election.
00:23:27.000 What is there to trust about big government?
00:23:30.000 I haven't found anything.
00:23:31.000 So they've run operations against you.
00:23:34.000 I might not remember.
00:23:36.000 What do you mean by that?
00:23:38.000 So, all during our investigation, Senator Grassley and mine, in the year 2020, we were being falsely accused of soliciting and disseminating Russian disinformation.
00:23:50.000 In August of 2020, all of a sudden we got an unsolicited secure briefing from the FBI saying we were targeted of Russian disinformation.
00:23:59.000 I just rolled my eyes.
00:24:02.000 Okay, do you have some real intelligence on this?
00:24:05.000 Well, nothing we can share.
00:24:07.000 And so I said, who told you to brief me about this?
00:24:11.000 Three years later, I still do not know who directed that unsolicited secure briefing, that supposedly defensive briefing that was completely unnecessary, that I knew was a setup that I knew would be used to smear me because previous secure briefings were also leaked to the media to smear me, saying that I fully warned that our investigation was based on Russian disinformation.
00:24:34.000 It was all a lie.
00:24:35.000 It's the same old Russian misinformation interference canard that, quite honestly, the Democrats and federal officials have been using since the hack in the DNC server.
00:24:45.000 Who, by the way, I still do not believe, or I still haven't seen proof that Russia actually hacked the DNC server.
00:24:51.000 I think that very possibly is a story to cover up the really grotesque emails that were uncovered.
00:24:59.000 I think you're right.
00:25:00.000 And you have had a mandate from the people of Wisconsin to find out what's going on, to hold these agencies accountable.
00:25:10.000 And the agencies fight back.
00:25:12.000 That's what you're talking about, is that these agencies, for any sort of truth teller, for anyone that engages in meaningful oversight, They tried to crush you.
00:25:22.000 And thankfully, the people of Wisconsin are some of the most rational in the country.
00:25:27.000 They have rewarded you time and time again in tough election cycle after tough election cycle with continuing that mandate.
00:25:36.000 And, Senator, I just find that interesting because you said that you came into this as a business guy believing government is dysfunctional.
00:25:44.000 And I think it's a very similar experience for me.
00:25:46.000 When I first got into this in 2012, you were one of the first people to speak at our turning point events back at UW Madison.
00:25:52.000 I said, oh, you know, government spends too much and it doesn't work properly.
00:25:56.000 But now I believe, and I think you do too, the government is now hostily positioned against the citizenry.
00:26:04.000 It definitely is.
00:26:04.000 You know, our founding fathers knew that.
00:26:07.000 They knew if we didn't want to live in chaos and anarchy, we needed some form of government because we're not angels.
00:26:14.000 But they also knew, because it came from dictatorial, tyrannical regimes, that government was something more to fear than something that we had to depend on to solve our problems.
00:26:23.000 Because as it grew, Our freedoms necessarily receded.
00:26:26.000 So, direct proportion.
00:26:27.000 That's what we've seen.
00:26:28.000 Government continue to grow, increase its power and control over our lives, its taxing authority.
00:26:33.000 Let's face it, when they take 25 cents of your earnings, you've lost 25 cents of your freedom.
00:26:38.000 But it's so much worse than that in terms of the regulatory power.
00:26:42.000 And remember Chuck Schumer, what he said warned President Trump about you take on the intelligence agency.
00:26:49.000 They've got six ways on Sunday to get you back, and they're getting him back.
00:26:54.000 That's right.
00:26:55.000 He said that on Rachel Maddow.
00:26:56.000 The context is super powerful.
00:26:58.000 It was right before Donald Trump was sworn in as president.
00:27:00.000 It was like January 8th or 9th, 2021.
00:27:04.000 This was when Donald Trump tweeted out, he said, They spied on my campaign.
00:27:09.000 They're spying on Trump Tower.
00:27:11.000 And everyone called him a conspiracy theorist.
00:27:13.000 Turned out he was right.
00:27:14.000 Turned out he was right.
00:27:16.000 And Chuck Schumer leans into Rachel Maddow and he says, For a supposed very smart businessman, this is being really stupid because if you go to war against the intel agencies, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you.
00:27:27.000 And that was the declaration of war.
00:27:28.000 That was Chuck Schumer saying, Watch out.
00:27:30.000 And what did we get?
00:27:31.000 Russiagate.
00:27:32.000 The entrapment of Michael Flynn, Peter Strzok, stroke smirk, all of the whole that famous meeting.
00:27:38.000 Remember the last meeting that we know of in the West Wing Oval Office with Joe Biden and Obama, which I think this plan was hatched.
00:27:49.000 Senator Ron Johnson continues.
00:27:51.000 So, Senator Johnson, what you're saying, Event 201, there's some possible pre planning if it happened.
00:27:56.000 I mean, are you suggesting that the COVID leak, which almost certainly came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Was intentional leak of a bioweapon?
00:28:08.000 The pre planning of censoring of information.
00:28:12.000 Obviously, the mRNA vaccine, they're just itching to utilize that platform and unleash that on billions of people worldwide.
00:28:20.000 You know, Anthony Fauci, a couple of weeks before the event 201 at a Milken Institute, was talking to Rick Bright, just bemoaning the fact that they don't have a universal vaccination campaign.
00:28:30.000 The flu just wasn't getting the job done.
00:28:32.000 It'd probably take a pandemic.
00:28:34.000 Rick Bright talked about the mRNA platform.
00:28:36.000 So again, they wanted a universal vaccine.
00:28:40.000 In order to get an emergency use authorization on a vaccine, it couldn't be effective treatment.
00:28:44.000 I think that's what I ran into trying to make sure that we had enough hydroxychloroquine.
00:28:50.000 That was my first problem, there may not be enough if that stuff was effective.
00:28:55.000 But why did they sabotage you?
00:28:57.000 Why did you have a completely fraudulent paper run, I think, in The Lancet?
00:29:03.000 It had to be withdrawn after two weeks because it was completely fraudulent, but that pretty well sank hydroxychloroquine.
00:29:08.000 You know, the FDA tweet about ivermectin, a Nobel Prize winning drug that pretty well tanked ivermectin, even though there were all kinds of studies.
00:29:17.000 And of course, Pierre Corey testified in front of our committee and had that evidence that it was effective.
00:29:22.000 And just anecdotally, I know so many people that had just dramatic turnarounds using these safe, effective, cheap generic drugs, including bedesidide and a host of other things.
00:29:32.000 But doctors simply weren't asked to treat, they weren't allowed to treat COVID patients as remdesivir, ventilator, vaccine.
00:29:40.000 That's pretty much the three things.
00:29:41.000 There's some autochromo antibodies, but they didn't even make those easily available.
00:29:47.000 No, they even distributed them using these crazy equity guidelines in certain parts of the country when they tried to distribute them.
00:29:56.000 And so here we are, Senator.
00:29:58.000 You refuse to give up.
00:30:00.000 The American people are with you.
00:30:01.000 I have unbelievable respect for your focus on this.
00:30:07.000 And we're still waiting for some fundamental answers.
00:30:10.000 Senator, have we been able to at least get some form of an acknowledgement that we know?
00:30:16.000 The most basic question that COVID came from a laboratory?
00:30:21.000 No.
00:30:21.000 And you know, you got the FBI now with a medium level of confidence saying they think it was man made.
00:30:25.000 What amazes me, the CIA, which I think is funded bioweapon research, I think they're fully aware of Ralph Barrick and what Anthony Fauci was doing.
00:30:34.000 They're clinging to their assessment that it sprang from nature, which is laughably absurd.
00:30:40.000 Okay.
00:30:41.000 So again, they're trying to cover up.
00:30:42.000 It was obvious to me very early on, I was talking to computational biologists.
00:30:46.000 This had to be man made.
00:30:48.000 But when I saw Fauci's emails, Where he was engaged in an immediate cover up the end of January, first part of February with Jamie Farrar and with Francis Collins and the other people that wrote that Proximal Origin paper.
00:31:02.000 I mean, this is, they are obviously covering their tracks.
00:31:05.000 As I said, you know, it makes sense in the age of CRISPR to hold these tabletop exercises to be prepared, but it also makes sense in the age of CRISPR technology to at least acknowledge the possibility that a new virus could have been man made and might have leaked from a lab.
00:31:22.000 But we weren't allowed to even consider that.
00:31:24.000 That was a conspiracy theory.
00:31:26.000 That is highly suspicious in and of itself.
00:31:29.000 Isn't that something?
00:31:31.000 Well, Senator, thank you for your courage and your focus on this.
00:31:35.000 And we deeply appreciate it.
00:31:37.000 They've tried to take you out in every which way, but you stand stronger than ever, and we're with you.
00:31:42.000 Senator, thank you so much.
00:31:43.000 Thanks for what you do.
00:31:44.000 Take care.
00:31:45.000 Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee.
00:31:49.000 And so people ask who should the VP be?
00:31:53.000 I've said before, and I'll say again you want to win the state of Wisconsin, you want to have a fighter as vice president, you want to have someone that can unite the tribes.
00:32:02.000 Senator Ron Johnson.
00:32:04.000 Senator Ron Johnson is well respected in every single necessary category in Republican circles.
00:32:12.000 Republican donors respect Senator Johnson.
00:32:14.000 He's a businessman.
00:32:17.000 The base supports him, small business owners support him.
00:32:22.000 And he's a faithful man, he's a hard worker, and he would help deliver Wisconsin.
00:32:30.000 He's a no nonsense based, but very respectful Midwestern man.
00:32:36.000 I think it would be really interesting to see, especially as you see the electoral map the way it is.
00:32:42.000 We need the Rust Belt.
00:32:44.000 We need Wisconsin.
00:32:46.000 I think Senator Johnson should be on the short list for Donald Trump's selection for vice president.
00:32:55.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
