Sen. Johnson on His Visit to the Border, Fauci, and His Senate Race

CLAY: We are joined by our good friend Senator Ron Johnson from the great state of Wisconsin. He’s been down to the border. We’ll 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 — I’m not making this up — 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, “Can you just answer the question once and for all, yes, can men get pregnant?” I can’t imagine that Wisconsin’s 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 can’t get pregnant. Here’s a news flash. But, no, listen. The state of our politics is depressing, quite honestly.

CLAY: Did you ever believe you’d 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: There’s a host of issues that I don’t think we ever thought we’d have to defend. Like say the basic benefit of the nuclear family. We’d have to actually, you know, argue for that, or that we shouldn’t be indoctrinating our children in school, that we shouldn’t be allowing schools to, for example, inject gender blocking drugs in our children without parental consent.

I mean, there’s 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. That’s what the radical left is pushing on America. I hope Americans don’t 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 what’s 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, what’s 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 it’s being overrun right now by lawlessness and illegality?

SEN. JOHNSON: I’ve 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. That’s 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 Biden’s 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 you’re 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. That’s it.

That’s the only thing that connects them to somebody that apparently they know in the U.S., that piece of paper and they’re just lost. A Fox News reporter was there on the scene. And he’s been doing, you know, Bill…

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 they’d just been brutally raped. We were looking at a 6- and 7-year-old little girl.

One thing I found out — we all found about, never heard this one before, they — the human traffickers will taunt Customs and Border Patrol about how completely impotent they are because of Biden’s 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 they’ve — or girl that they’ve sexually assaulted on a tree, load that tree up just to taunt Customs and Border Patrol, to say there’s nothing you can do to stop us. It’s sick.

You know, the other thing people need to realize, the border is 100 percent controlled on the Mexican side. Nobody’s 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 there’s not. I mean, this administration wants open border policies with all the human depredations — the rapes, the deadly drugs, the sex trafficking, the involuntary servitude, the beatings. I mean, t’s horrific. And, of course, the mainstream media’s, by and large, ignoring it, you know, other than pour people like Bill Melugin and a few other news outlets, this radio program, it’s just not being covered. It’s being covered up by the mainstream, the complicit and corrupt mainstream media.

CLAY: We’re talking to Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin. Senator, in addition to your trip to the border and the battles that you are fighting there, I’m 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.

It’s 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 — and we feel very good about Republicans taking back control of the House — what will that mean to Dr. Fauci when he wakes up in January of 2023?

SEN. JOHNSON: I think he’ll resign on the spot because he’s not gonna want the truth revealed. I’ve written something like over 40 oversight levels in some aspect of covid. Gotten responses. They’re nonresponsive response. They’re not really answering the questions.

Right now we are going through 400 pages of the 4,000 emails that were FOIA’d and delivered heavily redacted. We identified 400 pages we want to look — you know, review unredacted. Congress is not subject to redactions.

The problem is HHS wouldn’t 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. It’s been a six-month process going through about 350 pages. We’re down to the last 50 pages. They will not give us those last 50 pages unredacted.

I mean, I’m sure that’s where the real incriminating information resides. It’s just like with the Pfizer documents. You know, they’re 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, I’m 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, we’re number one in Milwaukee. We’ve got people listening all across the state. Where should they go?

SEN. JOHNSON: RonJohnsonforSenate.com. They’ve already spent $44 million against me and I don’t even have an opponent yet. This has all been dark money. So I’m 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. We’ve gotta win it.

BUCK: I think he’s right, folks, and we do have to win it, and Ron’s the man for the job. Senator Johnson, thanks for being with us.

SEN. JOHNSON: Have a great day.
