Ron Johnson | U.S. Senator from Wisconsin Speaks on Dr. Fauci & Five-Week Senate Recess · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Excellent work by Rand Pohl. And my next guest who
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: has become one of my real buddies and government today.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: He's the amazing senator from the state of Wisconsin, the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: great Ron Johnson. And Ron, you guys did all you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: can do. A couple of weeks ago, you and Paul
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: hammeredam and then last week when you once again had
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the hearing to hold him in contempt, you guys have
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: pretty much done all you can do. Would you like
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to see the President maybe sit down with Todd blanch
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and talk about a possible prosecution?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Well, good morning, said Well, First of all, Fauci's own documents,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: his own words is what nailed him. That's what the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: American people need to see. I like seeing prosecuted. Unfortunately,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Biden did give him a sweeping parton which shields him
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: from federal prosecution. But I've spoken with the terran jener
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: from Florida. He seems to be pretty interested in seeing
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: what stay charges they can bring. That's right. I know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Coach Tumberville probably going to be the next governor of Alabama.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: He's made the same that he'd like to see Fauci
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: in court every day for the rest of his life.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, let's face it, there's no doubt about it
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: that Fauci held Congress and contempt. But even more importantly,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: he's he's held the American public in contempt. And the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: first thing this was happening right now, and it started
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: a couple of Wednesdays ago, is we're exposing the truth.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: He's no longer Saint Fauci at least two about half America.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I think it was pretty astonishing was how democrats in
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that hearing continue to defend him like he is some
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: kind of you know, Sainted Knight. You know White Knight
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: came in, you know, saved millions of lives during COVID. No,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: he just destroyed lives, He destroyed economies. And now we
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: have access to his phones. We've we've been able to
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: download the information thirty four thousand texts. What is odd
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: is he only has three contacts. The rest of those
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: texts are associated with a phone number, which is going
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to obviously complicate our efforts to trying to pieces all together.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: But we're on the case and it's really it's really
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: important to have documents like texts, like emails, and of
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: course we know that his one of his lieutenants. Doctor
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: David Morins is my staff that picked that need allowed
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the hay stack in terms of an emails that doctor
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Morins sent somebody saying, don't send me emails. You know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I've got this spoil lady that says, you know, showed
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: me how to make emails disappear. And we're starting to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: see that pattern as we do this investigation into the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: CDC and FDA actions during COVID, people were I think improperly,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: if not illegally, deleting emails not only from their devices,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: but even further deleting them off the server, which is
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: extremely suspicious. Now now you have to have you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: people cooperating with that. So you know, my investigation has
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: only just begun because we only just got documents. I've
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: been doing oversight for years, never got anything out of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the Biden to ahha. Finally Boby Kennedy with his commitment
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to radical transparency, we got eleven million pages. We have
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: all these devices. Now we just got his fauci's phone.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So now the information is coming to the front and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: again it's gonna take us time to go through those
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: foreign records to be able to release those publicly responsibly.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to. I don't want to
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: provide personal information on anybody, or even Fauci's personal information
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that don't sicktly relate to public policy and what he
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: did within that realm.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned Governor Tuberville and I was a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: big band of his when he was coaching Oburn football.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And of course he's leaving the Senate. So there's a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: seat we gotta bill, we gotta fill. It looks like
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Marshall Blackburn seat in Tennessee. She's running for governor. But tomorrow,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: outside of Tony Fauci is a big primary day for
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: five states, including yours. And I know you know this,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, but all the media is talking about your
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: state specifically because you have a legitimate lunatic, a legitimate psycho.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: This Francesca Hung, the same lady who said that we
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: should no longer celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: think she's gone back on that, but it's too late.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Joey said it. She's a real Dsay lunatic and her
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: primary comes up, and you're a great fight of Wisconsin tomorrow.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: How fearful should Wisconsin people be and Americans with this
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: lady wanting for governor in your state.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Well, as long as she doesn't get elected governor, there's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: probably nothing to fear. But that's an open question. You know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the Democrat Party just basically imploded on itself. They had,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: you know, what they would consider more moderate Candice. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: think there are a bunch of radical leapsues myself, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the one self proclaimed socialist is the only person basically
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: left standing with her. By the way, all the early voting,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: there's there's a move when Sarah Rodriguez dropped out, Mandela
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Barnes dropped out that Democrats want, well, can I recall
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: my apstey bout and revote. No, that's the problem with
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the early voting, which is why we probably ought to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: restrict it to a much narrower time frame so that
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: all the information can be can come out before you
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: start voting. So now Democrats are starting to see that, well,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: there's kind of backfires on you every now and again
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: when you try and make you know, it's so permissive
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: in terms of these elections. But you know, lay that aside. No,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: we've got Francesca hang is a radical leftist, and of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: course she's backtracking from all her previous stances. In other words,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: she's lying about what she truly believes and trying to
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: pull the wall over the eyes of Wisconsins. I hope
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and pray that that won't happen. Yeah, I don't know.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I think she's going to win tomorrow, but anyway, anywate
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You know, it was nice to see Tom Cotton on
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: with Mark Levin this weekend saying what I've been saying
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: all alone, and that is ron that this common sense
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Democrat thing doesn't exist, you know. I mean, I guess
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Mansen was close when he was there, but he's gone
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: out of West Virginia. There's only one John Betterman. Now
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you'll with these people every day. I'm just a radio guy.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I only see one John Betterman. I was happy to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: hear again Tom Cotton say the same thing this weekend.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Am I missing some real good, common sense Democrats that
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you get to work with every day.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, Francesca Hong will win the primary.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think the same question about that. She's the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: one left standing. It's the general election. We need to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: make sure she's defeated. But no, listen, whether whether they
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: profess it openly or whether they're you know, their closet
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: radical eleptis. Basically, they're all radical leftists, or at least
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: they joined the team that is now run by the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: radical leftists, by the Bernie Sanders type, by the Francesca
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: hon type. So no, that's what soul Alarming said is.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You know, in the past, democrats had had to hide
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: their true beliefs, that they really were closet socialist or
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: communists or Marxists. Now it's out in the open. After Mom, Donnie,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: who will probably do a great deal harm in New
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: York and hopefully New Yorkers and the rest of nation
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: will will see the results of this. I mean when
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: you start talking about government run grocery stores and what
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a failure that will be, and they'll just creat food deserts. Right,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: socialism has always failed. It always looks it sounds good, right,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: it just simply doesn't work. And again I blame the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: legacy media and our educases for not educating our young
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: people in the public in terms of the dangers of socialism.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Well, you nailed it, legacy media and education. That's right.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: These kids actually think this is a good thing. But
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: there is some buyers remorse. It's still early. This idiot
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: has only been in office here for about eight months.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: He's got three plus years to go. But there is
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: some buyers remorse or what that's the good news, all right? Ron?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to see you on Maria yesterday, but
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: she had Blackburn on instead. I love when you going
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: on that show because I think you're the most knowledgeable
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: guy in the Senate. And I said, wait a second,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: wait a second. The Save America Act is not done.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: You got to get that done. Reconciliation is not done.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: A few other things are not done. Listen. I'm glad
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that you guys power through about seventy five Trump people,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: including Todd Blanche and he did some other things. But
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it seems to me, if I'm wrong, Ron correct, it
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: seems to me like the Senate's got a lot of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: work to do and you guys are off till September
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the fourteenth. What the hell is that?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: So, first of all, understand the reason we haven't passed
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: any election integrity measures is because Democrats are opposed to them.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: It's not you know, Republicans, we all vote for it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: We prove that with our final vote late early in
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the morning Saturday morning by once again bringing up a
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: simple voter ID bill. Democrats when we had say Mark
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Act on the floor, we were debating a Democrats all professional,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: we're for voter ID. Well, we gave them one last opportunity.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: It's not the last, but I mean another one to
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: vote for a simple voter ID bill. None of the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: other things that they object to. Our attachment is simple
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: voter ID. They all vote against it. Republicans all voted
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: for it. When we come back, we will bring up
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: a sweetener. So okay, so you wouldn't do a standalone
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: vote ID. How about if we add to it a
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: stock band, a stock trading band form members of Congress.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: You know, we'll we'll we'll combine that. They'll probably vote
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: that down. And then what we're gonna do, I mean,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I got it. Let me finishers, Let me finishes with
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the consent of the President. I called him up Friday night,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: as mister President. We're not sure whether we can pass
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the bunch of reconciliation that the House passed. Okay, we
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: just don't know. If you put it on the floor,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: you really don't know till you take a vote. But
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: that reconciliation is inadequate. It does not provide the support
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: for the finest among us and Ben and win the military.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: It's inacquate funding. From that standpoint, we need to take
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: more time from a standpoint of what we need to do,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: what we can get in terms of election integerty measures
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: with the reconciliation. There are many other things we can
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: add to a reconciliation if we have the time. They
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: did a very skinny one hoping we could quick get
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: it passed and then do a fourth reconciliation. I think
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: we just made the decision collectively, the House, the send
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: and the President. Okay, let's let's work hard on a
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: much better budget reconcilation. So we agreed to that, and
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: so again I you know, we did. We accomplished a lot,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: got Todd Lanche confirmed. We we again pointed out that
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Democrats simply are opposed to election integrity, and we agreed
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: to work on a much better bunch of reconscilation over
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: the next coming months.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, I like that. I did want to try to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: step a second because of the whole stock thing. I mean,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the amount of money that Nancy Pelosi has made. It's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: got to be criminal. I don't know, but at one
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: point you may remember it may have been even the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: night of President Trump State of the Union, even Liz
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Warren came out and seemed like she was pocontest. Seemed
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: like she was against some of these House and Congress
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: members involved in this trade stuff making all this money.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: So I mean, just is this too money that I
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: think they're making a lot of money? I don't know,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is that at all a realistic possibility?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: It should be. Again, what I did is I sold
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: all my marketable securities when I got elected, said I've
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: been sitting on cash, losing my you know what. Okay,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: now when we finally bought some ets. But again, I
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: do not do single trade and I don't think members
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: of Congress should. Again, it just looks dirty, right. So
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you know, in the past I've opposed some of these
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: measures that go too far that they force you to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: sell your business if you're a small business person, that's
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: too far. But banning individual stock trades, I'm all for
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: every I think probably every member of Congress professes to
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: before Democrats profess to be for it. Let's let's see
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: if they they'll vote for it. So again, I think
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: we've set this up. You know, our job between now
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the election is to point out the difference streets, differences
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: between Republicans and Democrats, and as imperfect as Republicans are,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Democrats are orders of magnitude worse. They are the reason
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: that we have open borders. They are the reason for
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: all these victims of illegal immigrant crime. They are the
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: reason we can't vote or can't pass voter integrity measures.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: So please understand what's at state. We've got radical socialists
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: running openly on the ballot. And again, I no, repugnants
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: aren't perfect, but please please understand what's at state. Our
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: nation is in peril. Democrats, radical leftists, radical socialists have
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: to be defeated.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: That is so well said. I got so angry, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: people go, well, both sides, shut up. It's not both sides. Okay, Yeah,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Republicans aren't perfect. But these people are lunatics on the left,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and even the quote unquote common sense ones they don't
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: exist anymore, like you said, because they've been pressured to
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: move further to the left, which is beyond progressive and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: now more towards DSA. Tell me this on a fun note,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: small market, right, but the Green Bay Packers, whether it
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: was Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, now love you guys, are
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: always great, the Brewers. The Brewers are about to win
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the nl Central again, so you guys are always good.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: The Bucks.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, you guys won the NBA Championship.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: But how big was it when the Bucks traded Giannis
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago to the Miami Heat.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Well that absolutely hurts. But again, everybody has a bell
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: curve on their career where they're absolutely best, and you know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: they start getting older and less effective. But it is
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: really remarkable to these small market cities, you know, these teams, Packers, Brewers,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the Bucks, how well they do in terms of recruiting
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the new talent. So we we somehow partly because of
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I think people are attracted to you know, the fan
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: base here because they're phenomenal fans. But we tracked this
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: early talent. We take advantage of them earlier in the careers,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and then of course New York or Lockways, you know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: ends up buying them out. But again while they're on
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the rise, as they're reaching their peak, and we take
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: full advantage of them, and you know, we end up
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: with some championships every now and again.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Well I'm gonna watch, I'm gonna give you the credit
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: for it because I love you so much and it's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: such a great senator that I'm going to say that
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the Milwaukee success in sports is also about Ron Johnson.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, what don't you do? You know you work
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: in on making sure people are accountable for the vaccines
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that hurt our kids and other people over the years.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: That's great work you're doing. Ron. All the other work
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you're doing with Save America and the rest of the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: bills you're working on in the Senate. And I say
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: this all the time not to embarrass you. I just
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: think you're a phenomenal You're Willie are You're great. So
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: enjoy your time off because if anybody deserves it, it's you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, Thank you so much.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I'll be working hard, trust me, I know, Ron.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you buddy. There he is the great senator from
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the state of Wisconsin. I bet I do love that guy, Ron.
