iowa senator joni ernst pushed or further investigation and says it looks bad for the defense departmentk they lost sight of what was going on in china, and they are too embarrassed to acknowledge that these are the types of activities we're funding with dod dollars. >> reporter: in january ernst and then-congressman mike gallagher requested a comprehensive review writing, quote: documents obtained by the nonprofit organization u.s. right to know reveal a defense contractor, ecohealth alliance and its collaborators, tried to deceive the pentagon about their intention to divert defense dollars to china's state-run wuhan institute of virology ferries key research. part of the concern is significant taxpayer dollars going to america's adversaries with no idea how some of these funds are being spent. david? david: mike emanuel, thank you very much. let's welcome to to the show "the coming collapse of china" author and gatestone institute senior fellow, gordon chang. gordon, does it look like there's a cover-up by the dod here? >> i suspect that there is, david. you know, money always leaves

. >> harris: joni ernst from iowa member of the armed services committee and if i may also served asommander in kuwait and iraq and led people in iraqi freedom. she retired as a lieutenant colonel in the army national guard after 23 years of military service. we honor and salute you today. let's talk about the politics first. so democrats don't want benjamin netanyahu to come and it has been shaky ground with the current president how much we really do support israel at times. how important it is he be allowed to speak to congress? >> harris, thank you. it is incredibly important that the prime minister of israel be allowed to come address a joint session of congress. i think these far left members of congress have forgotten that on october 7th we lost over 40 americans in the attack by hamas in israel. we have eight american souls that are still being held as hostages by hamas in the gaza strip. five of whom we believe to still be alive. it is incredibly important that benjamin netanyahu be allowed to come address a joint session of congress to give us updates on the war in israel a

and to that end, there is one notable signatory on that letter, joni ernst, the iowa republican, sheo some bipartisan deal. she's facing a challenge from the right from tom could then to her leadership position next year and i spoke to her just in the last couple of hours, she told me she decided to sign this letter after seeing the anger she faced from her constituents in iowa. all which of is to say, i ran this by a democratic source and the response was, so what else is new? >> the 118th congress is on track to be the least productive in history. 60 bills signed into law so far. the four previous congresses enacted between 350 and 500 pieces of legislation. by the way, nearly a quarter of the bills this session concerned renaming federal buildings and post offices or appointing regions to the smithsonian institution. it sounds snarky, but i'm asking a legitimate question here, matthew, how can you slow down an institution that isn't exactly high functioning? >> or that is already in the ditch? how do you slow down something you already have driven into the ditch? what i'm finding

here to react, iowa senator joni ernst, senator, it's pretty stunning, i was just jotting this down beforeright wing make huge progress with france and germany and other nations. what's the message they are trying to send? >> as you see in europe you will see that in the united states as well, brian. you see the folks in europe really pushing back against a lot of the migration that has happened. many of these countries just opened their doors to migrants that were sweeping across europe. we see that same thing here in the united states with an open southern border. the folks in those countries are so tired. their own government can't support their own people now they are expected to support migrants. we see that in the united states of america, you also see this huge push for green energy to bow to the idol of green climate ideas. of course, people are tired of that as well. you will see that here in the united states, too. with all of the regulation that president biden has been shoving down our throats. and just as we have seen in europe, i can expect that we will see that in november h

the senators include john thune, john cornyn, chuck grassley, joni ernst and shelley moore capito.nk? >> yeah, liz. first of all, thanks for having me. look, all of the lights are blinking red right now when it comes to terrorism here in the united states. not only those representatives, but you've got mike turner who's chair of the intel committee, former -- mike morrell, former deputy director of the cia. you've got fbi director wray all talking about the concerns of terrorism coming to the united states. and, look, the reason it's happening is because of open borders. when you look at the amount of people that have come through, we don't know even who's coming in. it could be terrorists that come out of afghanistan or tajikistan or recently picked up six on the most wanted list. when you look at it it could be with from state sponsors like iran, out of the cartels, we just don't know. and the problem you've got, liz, is we are really in the united states is target-rich environment. we don't have a lot of the real internal controls, pressing controls on people and their movement.

you're talking about overlooking someone like joni ernst, a war veteran, and also very effective on capitol on stage that gave trump a rivalry in any state when it comes to the primary election, i don't see her bending the knee to anyone right now. it is a caricature of a piece of work, and honestly one of the most sexist things i've seen. >> emily: that's right. it really obliterates the diversity that the republican party holds, and includes, which is women of every ilk and every color and every background in every preference and style. and yet, this piece not only attempted to assassinate them all, but also to shove everyone into one gruesome box. >> ainsley: the entire article, when you read one page and another page and another page, it is one women attacking women over and over and over, and it just made me feel sick. it feels so wrong and so bad, but it's okay for women to have different views. it's okay for a woman to like her husband. it's okay for a woman to love god. it's okay for a woman to like donald trump even if you don't. it's okay. that's what makes america beautiful. when

republican senator joni ernst brings us our second vid of the day.into biden's immigration executive blastinghg his handling of the border crisis. but it's what sher crisie said n her way out. >> roll it, dolores. 41. never trust a man whose uncle was out. in case you missed that, i knowa there are people at home going, what just happened? so let's hear it. one more tim 1 more. more thing. i trust a man whose uncle was. >> wow. joni, talk about victim blaminng . i'll have you know, my uncle was eaten by cannibals for canna the jokes on the cannibals. my uncle had aids aids. yeah. all right. they what? i don't know>> gre knos. move o. let's move on, shall we? and y you can get it from eating people. i don't knowout fo. >> it's just a joke. all right. >> kyra's eyes get weird when water hot around you. >> what could low in hot tubs>>a do? >> what did you make of that comment? i loved it. d yonot to make of it.by words to live by. it's how i live by. i'm not trusting anybody who's. because just imagine if he used the family moniker wheif fn the cannibal

>> he spoke at that joni ernst, the senator from iowa that we just saw there was speaking at this annual gathering here in washington of social conservatives, the types of people who worked really hard to get this into place to lead to the fall of roe. >> donald trump spoke to them over the weekend and he talked about what happened under his presidency to transform the federal bench. let's watch and i believe an exceptions for the life of the mother rape and incest. some people do. i think most people do actually, but some people don't. you have to go with your heart, but you have to also remember you have to get elected so this was actually the second of two things that he said here, where he does say, remember, you also have to get elected. he said that after he bragged about saying my first four years, we totally transformed the federal bench and we also achieved with the pro-life movement fought get for 49 years. we've got gotten abortion out of the federal government, but it's that get elected piece that i would keep underlining when i when i think about this, yeah, he's gotta get e

withou further ado, senator joni ernst.appla>> hey, have we got a great group of patriots out here. today i'm choosing to carry my university of iowa folder, who loves caitlin clark? yeah. thank you. she is a great product of the state of iowa, we are so proud of that youngrying herself with faith andg she does. you here at faith and freedom. are living in a vastly different america than the one we grew up in? yes, because iis is a very different nation, it's different than the for for our country. what we see across the united states antisemitism is raging across our college cd through communities and we have folks that a there chanting death to america. never did i ever think we would shores. we have hard-working folks out keep their gas tank on the table and yet we have inflation raging and an administration that refuses to do anything about it. the world is on fire. how many of you served in the armed services? thank you, god bless you veterans. [appla thankwe see a peaceful world but right now we have an ab leadership

he walks by joni ernst and sticks his cheek out, and she has to peck it.h somebody would ask him what he was running for that day on january 6th when the cameras caught him running. why was he running? if he's written a book on masculinity and how to be a man, i don't know what men run from. usually it's because they're afraid for their lives. then the other thing, think about this for a minute, guys. donald trump got in front of members of congress and wanted to talk about whether taylor swift was going to endorse him. i mean, that's just weird! i mean, that is a scrambled brain. first of all -- >> so weird. >> -- under no set of circumstances is taylor swift ever going to endorse donald trump. ever! and so him bringing it up is such a self-own, that he cares more about taylor swift endorsing him than any of those losers that he was requiring to applaud him. >> that was a strange scene. >> it's a strange obsession. that's come up a lot lately. he doesn't understand why taylor swift doesn't like him. he thinks that she should come out and endorse him. i th

. >> to station baseball and now we have the first woman in the game, joni ernst from iowa. on first base. : we would love to get a ground ball. we saw them get into a double play last inning. it might take something similar for democrats to escape this. this is a strike. chad: raul back with goldman close to the bag. short. >> ernst just announced. >> women first played in 19 83. it was the year of the woman when they elected a woman from florida. blanche lincoln and maria cantwell. >> drop inside the left-field line. this is gog to load them up by inches. padilla finds himself in a with no one out in his dm -- team down 10. >> dropped to write down the line, setting the table for blakemore. nterfielder for the republicans. >> he will swing in the first pitch into left field, a base hit. goldman recovers it and puts it down toward home plate. he will cut it off and republicans pick up their 16th run. >> that was not a pop-up in the traditional sense. a looper. coulthey have called the init was within the infield, the rule is it has to be above the head of the bat. bases loa

so without further ado my great senator would to death come nator joni ernst.hoosing to carry my university of iowa folder. who loves caitlin clark? [a thank you. so she is a great product of the state of iowa. we are so proud of that young woman. carrying herself faith and with dignity. and everything that so again it is great to be with you here at faith and freedom. and who after thinks that we are living in a vastly different america than the one we grew up in? [appla because i know that this is a very different different than the nation that i fought for our country. what we see across the united states is raging across our college campuses androcommunity. and we have folks that are literally out there death to america. never did i i ever think we would see that on our own shores. we have hard-working folks out tanks filled. they have trouble putting and yet we have inflation raging and an administration that refuo about it. the world is fire. now, how many of you serve in the services? thank you. god bless you veterans. [applause] thank you for all you ha

senator joni ernst for example had legislation to promote access to it.ecause these votes have nothing to do with legislating and everything to do with boosting democrats electoral chances he hopes in this fall's election. mr. president i suspect the exercises in election politics continue. look for us to be the summer of show votes in the united states senate. they said republicans a ready for it. wefo are happy to talk about the democrats agenda whether that's the president's disastrous border policy or the there upward democrats never ending inflationin crisis for another attempt by the democrat leader to force through legislation to legalize abortiongh up until the moment of birth. all the showboats in the world won't erase
