Sen. Johnson on His Visit to the Border, Fauci, and His Senate Race
18 Jul 2022
CLAY: We are joined by our good friend Senator Ron Johnson from the great state of Wisconsin. Heโs been down to the border. Weโll get to that in a sec. But, Senator Johnson, I gotta say, everyone who is trying to run against you from the Democrat Party in Wisconsin refused to answer whether they believed โ Iโm not making this up โ if men could get pregnant.
I really think whenever you have your debate against whoever this chump is who they put forward, if you just say a bunch of times, โCan you just answer the question once and for all, yes, can men get pregnant?โ I canโt imagine that Wisconsinโs gonna vote for a senator who believes that men can get pregnant. Just that issue alone crystallizes how crazy the Democrats have become.
SEN. JOHNSON: Well, it just illustrates how insane political discourse is today. By and large, I think that whole issue was meant to be a hit job on me for actually saying that, really, I hate to say this but, you know, men canโt get pregnant. Hereโs a news flash. But, no, listen. The state of our politics is depressing, quite honestly.
CLAY: Did you ever believe youโd be running for the Senate and one of the issues that you would be debating with your Democrat opponent would be whether men could get pregnant or not?
SEN. JOHNSON: Thereโs a host of issues that I donโt think we ever thought weโd have to defend. Like say the basic benefit of the nuclear family. Weโd have to actually, you know, argue for that, or that we shouldnโt be indoctrinating our children in school, that we shouldnโt be allowing schools to, for example, inject gender blocking drugs in our children without parental consent.
I mean, thereโs so many issues the left is pushing. You know, men, biological men competing against women, it never even crossed our minds that that would ever become a political issue. Thatโs what the radical left is pushing on America. I hope Americans donโt think this is normalized. This kind of behavior, these types of issues are not normal.
BUCK: Senator Johnson, this is Buck. I know you were just at the border, and we tried to do as much as we can here on the show to keep everybody up to speed and up to date on whatโs happening at the porous Biden border right now.
I remember going myself years ago into San Diego sector or right next to Tijuana and I was asking for some, whatโs really going on here? And they were saying, well, you know, the unaccompanied minors, we had an unaccompanied minor who was 32. who claimed to be 17. Just to give a sense of what kind of scams were being run and what was really happening.
What were some of the things that you saw, I mean, what were some of the stories, the takeaways from your time at the border as itโs being overrun right now by lawlessness and illegality?
SEN. JOHNSON: Iโve made so many trips to the border, but you always learn something new. You see something more profoundly disturbing.
But past the basic statistics, for example, over three million people been encountered at the border since Joe Biden took office. Thatโs more than 6,000 people per day. A large caravan per day. We had a briefing, you do a back of-the-envelope calculation, you realize just the people encountered is about $18.3 billion per year business. This is what Bidenโs open border policies facilitating a multibillion-dollar, 18.3 billion-dollar a year business model with some of the most evil people on the planet, okay?
But let me talk about how profoundly disturbing this is. You can hear the statistics, you can see the pictures, but until youโre actually on the border and you see a group of migrants come, couple women, bunch of young people. And you are introduced to a 6-year-old and 7-year-old girl that are unaccompanied, that all they have is a little plastic bag with their birth certificate and a note card with a phone number and an address. Thatโs it.
Thatโs the only thing that connects them to somebody that apparently they know in the U.S., that piece of paper and theyโre just lost. A Fox News reporter was there on the scene. And heโs been doing, you know, Billโฆ
BUCK: Bill Melugin.
NEW: Last night, we joined a delegation of GOP Senators who came to the RGV, including @SenTedCruz @SenJoniErnst @SenRonJohnson @SenJohnBarrasso @SenatorLankford @SenJohnHoeven. Within moments, they witnessed unaccompanied children arriving. Little girls traveling alone. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/yoYm0zhN8p

CLAY: Yeah, he does fantastic work.
SEN. JOHNSON: Yeah, Bill Melugin was telling us at that same spot not too in the distant past two similar-age girls were being treated by CBP because theyโd just been brutally raped. We were looking at a 6- and 7-year-old little girl.
One thing I found out โ we all found about, never heard this one before, they โ the human traffickers will taunt Customs and Border Patrol about how completely impotent they are because of Bidenโs open border policy with what they call either a taunting tree or a rape tree or a panty tree, which is basically what they do is they just put the panties of some woman theyโve โ or girl that theyโve sexually assaulted on a tree, load that tree up just to taunt Customs and Border Patrol, to say thereโs nothing you can do to stop us. Itโs sick.
You know, the other thing people need to realize, the border is 100 percent controlled on the Mexican side. Nobodyโs crossing the border without paying that human trafficking fee to, again, some of the most evil people on the planet.
So if we could control the border, if there was any will on the part of this administration to do so and of course thereโs not. I mean, this administration wants open border policies with all the human depredations โ the rapes, the deadly drugs, the sex trafficking, the involuntary servitude, the beatings. I mean, tโs horrific. And, of course, the mainstream mediaโs, by and large, ignoring it, you know, other than pour people like Bill Melugin and a few other news outlets, this radio program, itโs just not being covered. Itโs being covered up by the mainstream, the complicit and corrupt mainstream media.
CLAY: Weโre talking to Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin. Senator, in addition to your trip to the border and the battles that you are fighting there, Iโm sure you saw that Dr. Fauci said he will be retiring by January of 2025. And Buck and I have already been talking about that.
Itโs far too long to allow him to be in office for that much longer. But I want to know if you and the Republicans take back control of the Senate โ and we feel very good about Republicans taking back control of the House โ what will that mean to Dr. Fauci when he wakes up in January of 2023?
SEN. JOHNSON: I think heโll resign on the spot because heโs not gonna want the truth revealed. Iโve written something like over 40 oversight levels in some aspect of covid. Gotten responses. Theyโre nonresponsive response. Theyโre not really answering the questions.
Right now we are going through 400 pages of the 4,000 emails that were FOIAโd and delivered heavily redacted. We identified 400 pages we want to look โ you know, review unredacted. Congress is not subject to redactions.
The problem is HHS wouldnโt give those to us. They finally agreed to allow us to look at these in a reading room unredacted, no copies made, just taking notes, 50 pages at a time. Itโs been a six-month process going through about 350 pages. Weโre down to the last 50 pages. They will not give us those last 50 pages unredacted.
I mean, Iโm sure thatโs where the real incriminating information resides. Itโs just like with the Pfizer documents. You know, theyโre releasing those in 90,000 page traunches. I can tell you that the real incriminating information in terms of the trials that were not robust as they should have been, Iโm sure the worst information for Pfizer is gonna come out in the last traunche.
BUCK: Speaking to Senator Ron Johnson. Senator, we know that your race is a critical one coming up here for the Senate and want to tell everybody, they want to help, they want to get involved, weโre number one in Milwaukee. Weโve got people listening all across the state. Where should they go?
SEN. JOHNSON: RonJohnsonforSenate.com. Theyโve already spent $44 million against me and I donโt even have an opponent yet. This has all been dark money. So Iโm gonna need a lot of help.
RonJohnsonforSenate.com. Anything do you would be highly appreciated. This is the crucial Senate seat. This will determine, I think, control of the U.S. Senate. Weโve gotta win it.
BUCK: I think heโs right, folks, and we do have to win it, and Ronโs the man for the job. Senator Johnson, thanks for being with us.
SEN. JOHNSON: Have a great day.
