that's what ron johnson was saying. >> yeah. i mean, it is a valid point.et's understand first of all this isn't just a chinese bank. this is an american bank that was founded by chinese americans but still the signal it sends i think is significant and important. and when you think about the american people and how they view this right now, trust in china is at an all time low in all of testing and that is saying something because imagine even after tiananmen square, even after everything we've been through with china, at this moment only 15% of americans trust china. and when you see this kind of a connection between a sitting president, his son, and the chinese government, when people just don't trust this and know it's one of the biggest threats facing us right now, that's a really big issue that needs to be addressed. the american people are rightly concerned. they deserve to have answers. and i think at a minimum the president needs to make a statement a address people concerns because they're valid. maria: yeah. we'll take a break. when we come back,

i told me directly to senator ron johnson directly the senator ron johnson, thompson and i asked him to explain to you got behind it 100 percent when i was going to this office and he said he would do what he can. and then just a couple weeks later, a bill was introduced to, to actually recognize the issue and to do some sort of, you know, testing evaluations on soldiers or started the verbage. and he, he's already against the bill. oh, i couldn't understand why he was correct. member is all the staff and his better is people don't staff any? yeah, probably 7 bill on a missile system. i think the guy that he had to go for $35000000.00 to help them. and the bank, i believe the one that this will because it hasn't worked in years trials, trials, but he passed it i, i d, d live where she were or something we're just really paid by the military, industrial, military and so much into slows these issues down one of the things that has me perplexed is, it's now clear to everybody, including at the pentagon and the pentagon's leadership. that burne pits are toxic, that they kill people, and

maria: wisconsin senator ron johnson. thank you. for more, i want to bring in former acting u.s. general matthew whitaker and harvard law professor emeritus alan dershowitz, alan is also the author of the new book, "get trump." and, alan, this could not be more appropriate for baa we're talking about this morning -- what we're talking about this morning, the grand jury is on,sts the off. we're waiting to see what happens next week. assess where we are with the potential indictment of donald trump. >> well, i don't think an indictment can actually come forward now after the comments made by costello. he has proved that the main witness is going to be a perjur ing liar on the witness stand. if he uses him as a witness, he could actually lose his bar license. st the unethical to put a witness on the stand you know is lying, and he has to know that cohen will be lying. or he tries the case without cohen, which would be very difficult, or he does the right thing, he drops the case. in "get trump," i prove by precedent9 and evidence that none of the four cases against him has any basis

maria: coming up, wisconsin senator ron johnson on questions over biden's influence peddling that will go away. plus, former acting attorney general matt whitaker and constitutional law professor alan dershowitz on the efforts to take down donald rump there. whatever the case. then the disinformation campaign goes on. independent journalist matt taibbi on how the fbi and other government agencies helped keep biden's inconvenient truths out of the media. then the it has been three years since president obama told us exactly what he wanted after leaving office. >> i used to say, you know what, if i could make an arrangement where i had a stand-in, a frontman or frontwoman and hay had an earpiece in and i was just in my basement in my swepts looking through the stuff -- sweats, that i could sort of deliver the lines but somebody else was doing all the talking ander is mineny -- ceremony, i'd be fine with that because i found the work fascinating. maria: 40 year high inflation, a bank crisis, a wide open border, america's adversaries now ganging up, who's in charge and running the country?

senator ron johnson joins me now. mr., you will be rationed -- i'm sorry, treasury secretary today, do you approve of the sp be bank stop? >> we certainly want to prevent the contagion but i don't think the fed and treasury handles probably but if you look at the budget, it increases taxes dramatically increases spending deficits, there's a lot to hate and what president biden is proposing here and honestly if you want to blame people for the bank failures, try and put the finger blame him somebody, look at members of congress who routinely voted for this deficit spending, that's the root cause, deficit spending, it sparked inflation, devalue the bonds, that would cause us banking crisis as well. stuart: do you think you can stop all of this spending by action in the house and senate? can you push it back and get rid of it? republicans don't want this massive trillions and trillions of dollars of spending. >> we can certainly resist and we are looking for and we are talking in the house, i appreciate what the house freedo

i told me directly to senator john directly to sen, ron johnson thompson question. and i asked him to explain to you on this, you got the height is 100 percent to meet when they get his office. and he said he would do what he can. and then just a couple weeks later, a bill was introduced to jackson recognized the issue and to do some sort of, you know, testing evaluations on soldiers or the verbage. and he, he already against the bill. oh, i couldn't understand why you met with his office staff and his veteran whose people don't staff in any yeah. a couple weeks on a missile system. i think i'm he had to go for $35000000.00 to help them. and the bank, i'm really the one that this will just because it hasn't worked in 2 years trial trials. but after that i, i, d, d, y, she were where some people were just really paid by the military industrial, military and so much to slows these issues down. one of the things that has me perplexed is, it's now clear to everybody, including at the pentagon and the pentagon's leadership, that burn pits are toxic, that they kill people

you just now told this awful story about senator ron johnson, which i completely believe. i worked on capitol hill for many years and, and this kind of thing happens all the time. but why isn't there a movement among other members of congress, whether it's the house, the senate to do something to protect our service members, it just seems like there's this is a no lose situation. if you're a politician, they all how do you have a couple that are really good? north carolina, very impassioned in the driveway. one help story book or for helping veterans. all these what there's just like there's, there's some that are just independence. some to seem like the talk again, but when it comes to soccer they're not really i think is over is the country we have to start paying attention to target. yes or no. and all these things are supposed to help. not just jo, back in august. there was a protest about the bern pits right here in washington, dc with big names like john stewart, standing with veterans and trying to bring this to light. what more do you think needs to be done to brin

in the long-term picture here according to senator ron johnson this budget would blow the national debt to $50 trillion in just ten years. that is unsustainable. it comes to how republicans can manage this we've heard from them to they do want to deal with social security, entitlements. so in terms of what's happening in washington it doesn't seemed like the hard decisions are going to be made about how to get the spending under control. gerry: this continues to be a major political question for all of us, particularly republicans because we do have to do something about reining in the debt and these programs and doing it away that looks both fair and fiscally putin, how do you think republicans are good and respond to them. >> i think this is a budget that could put republicans on their back feet in an offensive position if it wasn't for the schizophrenic nature of the biden administration policies. if you want to have a fight on entitlements is one of the democrats are generally going to win with the american people. if you want have a fight on corporate tax rates or capital gains tax

it wasn't that long ago that people like, you know, members of congress, you know, ron johnson, devin nun neces, were spreading russian information. this incentivizes the russians to meddle to the benefit of ron desantis and donald trump. i think donald trump in particular has always believed there's some big source of help they'll get out there by leaks on his opponents or smearing them, or having this bot and this troll army unleashed. and that's very serious, because it's not just how bad the implications are for the ukra ukrainians, who are hanging by a thread, and to say, just, to encourage russia is immoral. but i think they think there's a practical benefit in the campaign >> to your point, a former mueller investigator said to me, i think about 18 months ago now, that the next russian election interference won't run afoul of any laws they're that good. they'll just get their signals from which candidates, who, in questions asked by tucker carlson, there are no accidents here, and answered by ron desantis and donald trump, it's abundantly clear who russia would be interested in

let's bring into the conversation ron johnson, the former captain of the highway patrol. captain, grateful for your time today. we saw this in minneapolis after the beating of george floyd. a look at practices by the police department. you're familiar this happened right there in ferguson, missouri, where you're familiar with that. how do they work? and then the question is, do they work? what has to happen in the city, not just with the federal oversight, in the city on the force for this to work? >> well, they come in and there's mandatory training, new pattern of track practices that are put in place. we see positive results from these. they kind of give some standardized guidelines and policies. that's what we have to see in our country. congress is looking at some of that george floyd rule. we have to standardize our expectations, our policies and procedures for policing. and i agree that this is some of the ugliest reporting i have heard when we look at what's come out of louisville. >> ugly is an understatement. when you flip there this, looking at some of the exam

let's watch senator ron johnson on how he asked dr.c impact of creating supercharged viruses, lethal viruses in laboratories for drugs and vaccines. watch this. >> i said, dr. fauci, you're proposing these shutdowns. are you taking into account that the human devastation, the human toll, the economic conservative station that you're contemplating here? and he just, you know, just cavalierly said, oh, senator, that's somebody else's department. i don't worry about that. elizabeth: really? it's somebody else's county, i don't worry about that? byron, what do you think of all? >> well, china has been stonewalling from day one on the covid virus, and the biden administration has never really pushed them. i mean, the world health organization has said they completely stonewalled about this, everybody has stonewalled about this. in the united states there came to be a political debate over whether covid origin was a lab leak or an animal transfer, and a lot of republicans st.ed it was a lab -- suspected it was a lab leak, and democrats said,

senator ron johnson, who ran with everybody else on january 6th, later lied saying he didn't feel threatenedb was filled with trump supporters. well, is that why capitol police weren't more prepared? because we saw what happened in 2020 during the black lives matter protest. the preparation was not the same. also, we don't know this from that video, we don't know what time those scenes that he's playing took place. where are the time stamps? was it hour one? because the whole insurrection lasted for four hours. that's why real news networks need to have those tapes too. because what tucker's doing here is feeding his hard core viewers their feelings-based beliefs about that day knowing that many of them didn't watch the january 6th hearings and have probably never seen the raw footage of the violence. just like after the election, he is doing what he has to do to keep them to buy his supply and gas lighting everyone else. no, you didn't actually see any of that. and the cops who got the crap beaten out of you, nah, that didn't really happy if you. we did see it and we've got tapes. >> if you
