Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: When I think of Milwaukee, outside Laverne and Shirley, I
- 0:04Speaker 1: think of one guy, the amazing senator from the state
- 0:07Speaker 1: of Wisconsin, my good friend Ron Johnson. Ronnie, how about
- 0:11Speaker 1: those Milwaukee Brewers?
- 0:14Speaker 2: Good morning, sir.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Well, first of all, that is a great song by
- 0:16Speaker 3: Garth Brooks. But yeah, it's pretty amazing. A small market
- 0:20Speaker 3: team like the Brewers have been so consistently good. We
- 0:23Speaker 3: can say the same thing about the Packers. We really
- 0:26Speaker 3: are blessed being Wisconsinites. Again, it's not New York City
- 0:30Speaker 3: or Los Angeles, but we still field just excellent teams
- 0:34Speaker 3: consistently year after year, decade after decade. It's fun to watch.
- 0:38Speaker 1: You're also not that far removed from the Greek freak
- 0:40Speaker 1: winning an NBA championship there in Milwaukee. Now he's in Miami,
- 0:43Speaker 1: but just a couple of years ago now, it may
- 0:45Speaker 1: be over for the Packers.
- 0:47Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 0:47Speaker 1: I don't like what I'm seeing out of Jordan Love
- 0:49Speaker 1: three weeks in, but you're right. You're a city, and
- 0:51Speaker 1: I got to tell you, even today, most wins in baseball,
- 0:54Speaker 1: people are like, nah, the Dodgers, they're still going to win.
- 0:58Speaker 1: But I have to imagine your people in Milwaukee, very
- 1:01Speaker 1: confident leading up to this Padres series, yes?
- 1:04Speaker 3: Yes. We're hoping for some really good series. We're hoping
- 1:08Speaker 3: that they go all the way. It'd be a lot
- 1:09Speaker 3: of fun to watch.
- 1:10Speaker 1: They really will. They're a good team, and it is
- 1:13Speaker 1: a fun city. I actually was in that ballpark when
- 1:16Speaker 1: I went to see you during the RNC a couple
- 1:19Speaker 1: years ago when President Trump arrived.
- 1:21Speaker 2: With a big white.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I guess badge on his ear after he was shot
- 1:26Speaker 1: in Butler, Pennsylvania, I should say, the day before.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Let me talk about yesterday, Mr.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Senator.
- 1:32Speaker 1: You hosted a roundtable, Monday actually, focusing on hospitals handling
- 1:37Speaker 1: of COVID-19 treatment protocols.
- 1:39Speaker 2: You've been great with this. You've been the voice.
- 1:42Speaker 1: I really believe the voice in politics about all the
- 1:46Speaker 1: issues with COVID and all the things they did wrong.
- 1:49Speaker 2: How did Monday go?
- 1:51Speaker 3: Well, we need a COVID reckoning so it never happens again.
- 1:55Speaker 3: But I've known about the deadly hospital protocols for years,
- 2:00Speaker 3: the abuse, particularly heaped on people that were unvaccinated. And
- 2:05Speaker 3: so we just kind of opened up our website, you know,
- 2:08Speaker 3: tell us your story. We, in the end, over just
- 2:11Speaker 3: about a month period, got 583 stories from 46 states.
- 2:15Speaker 3: So this isn't just one off. And instead, the consistency
- 2:19Speaker 3: of the stories they tell And they are horrific stories.
- 2:22Speaker 3: They are heartbreaking. But the cruelty, I mean, doctors, nurses,
- 2:27Speaker 3: when they find out, well, your father's on vaccine, he's
- 2:29Speaker 3: going to die. You're going to watch him die. What
- 2:31Speaker 3: did you expect? That wasn't a one-off. Those kind of
- 2:35Speaker 3: comments were consistent. Also was consistent where they told their
- 2:39Speaker 3: loved one that they were going to die. Well, would
- 2:42Speaker 3: you just try ivermectin, bunesodide? Would you just try these
- 2:47Speaker 3: cheap generic drugs?
- 2:48Speaker 2: Nope.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Nope. So We had one attorney, Ralph Larigio, from New York.
- 2:54Speaker 3: He started suing hospitals, contacted by one family and just grew.
- 2:58Speaker 3: In the end, he sued 212 hospitals. He won 72
- 3:03Speaker 3: of the cases. Of those 72 individuals, only three died,
- 3:07Speaker 3: and that's only because he won too late. They were
- 3:10Speaker 3: too far gone. Of the 140 cases he lost or
- 3:13Speaker 3: that never got before a court, where those people stayed
- 3:16Speaker 3: on the hospital protocol, Sid, they all died. I know
- 3:20Speaker 3: it's not a random controlled trial, but it's pretty powerful. Again,
- 3:25Speaker 3: I know that ivermectin worked. I know benesidide worked. I
- 3:28Speaker 3: know monoclonal antibodies worked. Why didn't the rest of the
- 3:32Speaker 3: medical establishment know it? Because our FDA was pushing the
- 3:36Speaker 3: experimental gene therapy, putting billions of dollars into Pfizer and
- 3:41Speaker 3: Moderna's pockets, And by the way, you know, I'm interviewing
- 3:45Speaker 3: these guys. These are people that approve the injection. They
- 3:48Speaker 3: will never admit they were wrong. They will never admit it.
- 3:52Speaker 1: And you're still, I believe, working on something in Congress
- 3:55Speaker 1: for people that had all these very serious medical difficulties
- 4:00Speaker 1: to this day from those vaccines, right?
- 4:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we've set up this countermeasure compensation fund.
- 4:09Speaker 3: Nobody's getting paid. I mean, the amount of payments made
- 4:12Speaker 3: out of it is minuscule, it's measly, because we're not
- 4:16Speaker 3: acknowledging the injuries. To this day, you know, I held
- 4:20Speaker 3: my first event in June of 2021 with the injection injured,
- 4:24Speaker 3: people like Bree Dress and Maddie DeGarry. And all they
- 4:27Speaker 3: wanted was to be seen, heard, and believed so they
- 4:29Speaker 3: could be treated properly. They're still not seen here and believed.
- 4:32Speaker 3: You know, again, we just interviewed Peter Marks. Well, I
- 4:35Speaker 3: never said, you know, it couldn't cause injury. But you
- 4:38Speaker 3: said they were rare and mild. You never admitted they
- 4:41Speaker 3: were killing people. They were permanently disabling people. The government
- 4:45Speaker 3: still is not admitting it. And, you know, I think
- 4:47Speaker 3: one of the reasons is if they admit it, you know,
- 4:50Speaker 3: we're already $ 40 trillion in debt at a trillion or two.
- 4:55Speaker 3: I think the harm was so extensive. I think it
- 4:57Speaker 3: killed so many people. The federal government really had to
- 5:00Speaker 3: fess up and pay the damages. You know, Bree Dressen,
- 5:03Speaker 3: for example, hundreds of thousands of dollars of bills. She's
- 5:07Speaker 3: part of the AstraZeneca file. AstraZeneca sent her a check
- 5:12Speaker 3: for something like $ 1, 700. It was under $ 2, 000 as payment
- 5:14Speaker 3: in full. These AstraZeneca, Pfizer, they completely abandoned these people.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Maddie Degary, 12-year-old little girl in the Pfizer trial for adolescence,
- 5:26Speaker 3: she's paralyzed. She's in a wheelchair, a feeding tube. They
- 5:31Speaker 3: put that down in their trial documents as functional abdominal pain. Now,
- 5:37Speaker 3: functional means it's in your head. It's not real. It's
- 5:39Speaker 3: not physical. It's mental. Functional stomach ache. That's how Pfizer
- 5:45Speaker 3: reported a 12-year-old who's been paralyzed since she got her
- 5:50Speaker 3: second dose. Terrible.
- 5:51Speaker 1: I had an attorney on yesterday just to bring it
- 5:54Speaker 1: away from the actual vaccine injuries.
- 5:57Speaker 2: And talk about religious exemption. I had a guy on
- 6:00Speaker 2: from Essex County here in New Jersey. Name is John Coyle.
- 6:03Speaker 1: He represented this groundskeeper in New Jersey. His name is
- 6:06Speaker 1: Teddy de Blasio, which he shot to me twice. He's
- 6:08Speaker 1: a sweet guy. And Teddy refused to take the vaccine.
- 6:13Speaker 2: He's a Christian.
- 6:14Speaker 1: And based on his religious beliefs, he didn't take it. And,
- 6:19Speaker 1: of course, he was fired and killed. Never got his money.
- 6:22Speaker 1: He's looking for a whole bunch of PAC pay. Well,
- 6:24Speaker 1: the good news is John Coyle did win that suit
- 6:27Speaker 1: first time ever in New Jersey that we've won a
- 6:30Speaker 1: religious exemption suit. So I guess what I'm getting at
- 6:33Speaker 1: here is whether it's vaccine injury, whether it's religious exemption.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Watching Andrew Cuomo buy a $ 9 million house in the
- 6:42Speaker 1: Hamptons yesterday, that's got to piss off a lot of people.
- 6:45Speaker 1: It does seem like, Ron Johnson, the pendulum may be
- 6:48Speaker 1: swinging towards our way, the way of the good guys.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Well, let's hope so. Again, once your eyes are open
- 6:54Speaker 3: to these realities, whether it's the COVID injection, whether it's
- 6:57Speaker 3: childhood vaccine injuries, that type of thing, it's pretty hard
- 7:00Speaker 3: to close your eyes. I mean, once you've met the
- 7:03Speaker 3: vaccine injured, the father who lost his best friend, his
- 7:06Speaker 3: teenage son, you can't turn your back on that. Somehow,
- 7:11Speaker 3: these federal regulators are able to do that. They just
- 7:13Speaker 3: tune it out. They cling to their mathematical models and
- 7:17Speaker 3: just prove this thing was so effective, even though I
- 7:19Speaker 3: have completely disproven, for example, the Commonwealth Fund study that
- 7:23Speaker 3: claimed that injections saved 3.2 million lives in 21 and 2022.
- 7:29Speaker 3: In order to assume that, you'd have to have gone
- 7:32Speaker 3: from less than 3 million deaths before the pandemic to
- 7:36Speaker 3: 5 million deaths.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 7:38Speaker 3: And we didn't. At most, we hit 3.5 million deaths.
- 7:41Speaker 3: So again, they use completely BS studies, just like climate change.
- 7:46Speaker 3: People have to understand, science has been thoroughly corrupted. It's
- 7:50Speaker 3: been corrupted by these models, by corrupt peer review, but
- 7:54Speaker 3: they use this fake science. to control the population, to
- 7:59Speaker 3: force people to mandate this injection. We bounced, what, 8,000
- 8:03Speaker 3: service members from the military? We kicked nurses out of
- 8:07Speaker 3: hospitals while we had a nursing shortage. I mean, this
- 8:10Speaker 3: is insane. The problem is people just want to move on.
- 8:14Speaker 3: They do not want to face the insanity. But if
- 8:17Speaker 3: you actually go back and put yourself in that time
- 8:20Speaker 3: period and you see what happened— how stupid were we
- 8:24Speaker 3: all to buy this crap, to listen to people like
- 8:26Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci? People don't want to admit they were that stupid.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Well, you know, listen, I do think there was a
- 8:32Speaker 1: level of stupidity, yes, but the better word, and it
- 8:36Speaker 1: often does work, Ron, is fear. Now, I'm not talking
- 8:39Speaker 1: about people like Anthony Fauci.
- 8:41Speaker 2: He knew better. He wasn't stupid. He was corrupt, okay?
- 8:44Speaker 1: But the general public who were told, you can't do this,
- 8:47Speaker 1: you can't do that, you're going to die, I'm not
- 8:50Speaker 1: sure a lot of them were stupid enough Now, they
- 8:52Speaker 1: should have eventually figured it out. Yes, at this point,
- 8:54Speaker 1: if you don't get it, then you weren't stupid. But initially,
- 8:57Speaker 1: come on, man. Everybody was scared to death.
- 8:59Speaker 3: No, I'm not calling people stupid. I'm saying if you
- 9:02Speaker 3: look back at it now, you think that of yourself.
- 9:05Speaker 3: How stupid could I have been to listen to Samuel,
- 9:07Speaker 3: a fear monger, like Anthony Fauci? No, I was fearful.
- 9:12Speaker 3: I mean, you see people in moon suits. You see
- 9:14Speaker 3: doctors dropping dead three days after the treaty. No, this
- 9:18Speaker 3: was scary, but we knew early on. From the Princess Cruise,
- 9:22Speaker 3: it wasn't Ebola. It wasn't SARS. It wasn't MERS. No.
- 9:25Speaker 3: It was something like maybe twice the bad flu, which
- 9:28Speaker 3: Fauci said in his diary. But he said, no, it's
- 9:31Speaker 3: 10 times the flu. No, they lied to us repeatedly.
- 9:36Speaker 3: We have to feel stupid for buying their lies. Right.
- 9:39Speaker 1: And the guy that actually came out early on and
- 9:41Speaker 1: said it's just a bad flu was Dr.
- 9:42Speaker 4: Oz.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Believe it or not, before he even worked in the
- 9:45Speaker 1: Trump administration, he was on my show. He's like, Sid, honestly,
- 9:48Speaker 1: it's like a bad flu when Fauci was telling us
- 9:51Speaker 1: we're all going to die. Let's move talking about Oz
- 9:54Speaker 1: and Trump. They are trying desperately to cancel whatever Trump
- 9:59Speaker 1: wants to.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Fund.
- 10:00Speaker 1: This is more heroic work out of you, Ron Johnson,
- 10:03Speaker 1: because you're trying to make sure that's not the case.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Give me specifics on this effort.
- 10:09Speaker 3: Now, are you talking about the fraud?
- 10:12Speaker 2: No, not the fraud.
- 10:13Speaker 1: I'm talking about you're blocking the votes to stop Trump's
- 10:16Speaker 1: funding cancellations.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Well, yeah, he's doing it. This is a minor rescission package.
- 10:21Speaker 3: It's a pocket veto and or pocket rescission. Eight hundred
- 10:25Speaker 3: and ten million dollars. I mean, it's a measly amount.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Seventy percent of that, by the way, Sid, is money
- 10:30Speaker 3: we haven't had to spend trying to take care of
- 10:33Speaker 3: unaccompanied children. Remember, the Biden administration let millions of people
- 10:37Speaker 3: flood through hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children who they
- 10:41Speaker 3: lost track of, who are probably sex trafficked. That's what
- 10:45Speaker 3: the Biden administration did. So they funded something like $ 6
- 10:48Speaker 3: billion to try and keep track of these kids. They
- 10:52Speaker 3: didn't keep track of them. We've rounded up. We found
- 10:54Speaker 3: a lot of them. The Trump administration has found a
- 10:56Speaker 3: lot of them. But now that we've closed the border,
- 10:58Speaker 3: we're not spending $ 527 million. So rescind it. And Democrats
- 11:02Speaker 3: are saying, oh, don't spend it anyway. Again, we secured
- 11:06Speaker 3: the border. We don't have to spend it. Why don't
- 11:09Speaker 3: we at least save $ 810 million? Right, right.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Now, listen, and you brought up fraud. I brought up Dr.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Oz.
- 11:14Speaker 1: He's doing a great job on the Medicare and Medicaid fronts.
- 11:16Speaker 1: As you know, the vice president, J.D. Vance, he's done
- 11:19Speaker 1: a good job with that. People like Lee Zeldin, EPA,
- 11:22Speaker 1: he's uncovered billions in fraud. Anthony D'Esposito and Keith Sondland,
- 11:27Speaker 1: those guys with the Labor Department, they've done the same.
- 11:30Speaker 1: So in the fraud department, you guys have done a
- 11:33Speaker 1: phenomenal job.
- 11:35Speaker 3: And understand that the lowest estimate comes from GAO at
- 11:39Speaker 3: about $ 250 billion a year. LexisNexis CEO came in. They
- 11:43Speaker 3: say a trillion dollars a year. So over 10 years,
- 11:47Speaker 3: that's $ 2. 5 to $ 10 trillion. If we could really address that, again,
- 11:52Speaker 3: you wouldn't have to cut benefits. You just eliminate fraud.
- 11:55Speaker 3: But when the Trump administration canceled the coverage for for 750,000
- 12:03Speaker 3: fraudulent Obamacare recipients. They're fraudulent. They didn't even know they
- 12:07Speaker 3: were signed up, so they canceled the coverage. Nobody was
- 12:10Speaker 3: using it. We were just pumping billions of dollars in
- 12:13Speaker 3: the insurance companies' pockets when we canceled it. Democrats who
- 12:17Speaker 3: are screaming or taking people off of coverage. No, we're
- 12:20Speaker 3: just ending the fraud.
- 12:22Speaker 2: They're so stupid.
- 12:23Speaker 1: How do you yell at my friend, your colleague in
- 12:25Speaker 1: the Senate, who I love? He was my governor when
- 12:27Speaker 1: I was down in Florida. He's one of my favorite people,
- 12:29Speaker 1: Rick Scott, because he voted against the Protect College Sports Act.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Ron Johnson, how do you feel about that, Bill?
- 12:36Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I personally think that I would
- 12:40Speaker 3: rather not have the federal government in this at all.
- 12:42Speaker 3: The only reason I voted for it is our universities
- 12:45Speaker 3: in Wisconsin and the NCAA, in the end, I guess
- 12:49Speaker 3: it's better than nothing. In Rick Scott's case, SEC Florida
- 12:53Speaker 3: universities are disadvantaged by it. So, again, he voted to
- 12:56Speaker 3: support his constituents. The thing passed. Let's cross our fingers. Again,
- 13:01Speaker 3: college sports is a mess. Understand that. Will Congress fix it?
- 13:05Speaker 3: We'll see.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Fair enough. They've got it next. Save America Act, Ron Johnson.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Is it dead?
- 13:13Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell the election right now, it's dead because
- 13:17Speaker 3: Democrats will not vote for it. I mean, understand that.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Republicans all vote for it. We don't have Democrats supporting
- 13:24Speaker 3: any election integrity measures. So we'll keep pushing on it.
- 13:27Speaker 3: We'll be working on a reconciliation package to do some
- 13:30Speaker 3: vote integrity measures during reconciliation after the election. But for
- 13:34Speaker 3: the time being, yeah. It's not passing before the election,
- 13:38Speaker 3: that's for sure. By the way, even if it would
- 13:39Speaker 3: have passed, it would have been implemented by this election anyway. So, again,
- 13:43Speaker 3: when you go to the polls, understand it's Democrats who
- 13:47Speaker 3: are opposed to– they voted against a stock trading ban,
- 13:50Speaker 3: members of Congress. They voted against a voter ID. They
- 13:53Speaker 3: voted against a ratepayer protection plan act that would have
- 13:57Speaker 3: made sure that the AI data centers couldn't result in
- 14:01Speaker 3: higher electricity costs. Democrats all voted against that here in
- 14:05Speaker 3: the Senate.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Morons.
- 14:07Speaker 1: So then tell me this. Why am I even worried,
- 14:10Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, that in 30-plus days we may lose the Senate?
- 14:14Speaker 1: I mean, everybody I talk to, very smart.
- 14:16Speaker 2: People, they go, Sid, you're going to lose the House.
- 14:18Speaker 3: I am?
- 14:18Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. You're going to lose the House.
- 14:21Speaker 1: I think you're okay in the Senate, but I'm not
- 14:23Speaker 1: even sure about that. 30-plus days out, Ron Johnson, what
- 14:26Speaker 1: do you think?
- 14:28Speaker 3: Well, the reason is these are prices and gasoline prices.
- 14:32Speaker 3: And that's because President Trump had the balls to end
- 14:35Speaker 3: the existential threat that Iran posed to America if they
- 14:39Speaker 3: became a nuclear power. Now, it's been messy. It's been
- 14:42Speaker 3: carried on longer than we thought. That's impacted gasoline and
- 14:45Speaker 3: diesel prices, as has the war in Ukraine. And unfortunately,
- 14:50Speaker 3: voters aren't real. They're pretty short sighted. And that's the
- 14:55Speaker 3: biggest thing we've got going against us heading in the
- 14:57Speaker 3: midterm right now.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, you are a great man, a terrific senator,
- 15:02Speaker 1: one of my favorite people, a great guy. Good luck
- 15:04Speaker 1: to you on Milwaukee Brewers against the San Diego Padres,
- 15:07Speaker 1: and we will talk again very soon.
- 15:08Speaker 2: Great job this morning. Thank you so much.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Take care.
- 15:11Speaker 2: God bless you.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, right there, the senator from the great state
- 15:16Speaker 1: of Wisconsin.
