let's bring in from senate finance senator ron johnson. senator?usband's stock trades. your reaction to grady's report because nancy pelosi's net worth in 2, 2008 was around 31 million and nearly grown nine times to $250 million. what is going on here? is president biden taking a swipe at former speaker nancy pelosi? >> he might be. sounds like there may be some corruption going on. i can only speak for myself. when i became the u.s. senator i sold all my marketable securities and i'm sitting on cash. you understand the opportunity costs of doing that. my wife has a couple etf's so i basically agree. we shouldn't be selling and trading individual stocks. i think some of these proposals go too far where i think senator holy's proposal would have forced members of congress to divest of privately held company they held before they became members so don't turn congress into a rich person's club. it kind of is already. you want people to be able to serve but you have to eliminate the conflict of interest. by the way it's already illegal to do insider tr

so here ron johnson says something a little off i understand that happens sometimes. you know politifact wisconsin is on it. in half the states. there's no fact checkers that you know there isn't even like a station that does it or local newspapers or non-pro news organizations. what you have in wisconsin is a. media that fact checks not just politifact wisconsin, but also wisconsin. watch does fact checking. so. we need that in every state now. and when i say that, i always feel people are like, well, you're a hammer. everything looks like nail, you know? and so, like bills the answer to everything, more fact checkers. but i do think we need more fact checking for for two reasons. fundamentally. one, we need fact checking just give politicians to the sense that they're being watched. you know, if there's no trooper on the highway with radar guns, you're going go 100 miles an hour. you know, it's now we can get to why ron johnson just keeps saying the occasional wrong thing he says, which you're not deterring him, but. but that's a different story. but we need fact ch

we're joined by wisconsin senator ron johnson and wesley hunt. gentlemen, thank you very much. by the last discussion. senator johnson, can i ask you. i won't go to this again and i'm sorry. i just got a, you know, i've just got a burr under my saddle if you will. i don't really think it's a fabulous idea to wait for the second half of the year or later for individual tax cuts or corporate tax cuts or depreciation tax cuts or whatever. i don't like the sound of that and i want to restart the blue collar boom and it looks like the strategy will have a couple of reconciliation bills this year and i like the sound of that and you're the senator and going to have president trump making a decision there and going to be pushing for that internally and it's our top priority must be to prevent the tax -- massive tax increase from starting in 2026. we have to stall that. we're talking about how to do that. listen, i'm happy to put up quick wins and address the border and going for them and i'm with you, larry. i would rather move fast than delay this. larry: wesley hunt, i'm open to the

we've got we talk to ron johnson on how much damage joe biden can do before he leaves washington andrump wants to make america wealthy again. jackie: and interesting, because joe biden says that kamala harris, charlie, she's at the forefront of the democrat party in the future even though a lot of people don't necessarily believe that. they think she's done, and also, what about those restaurants who are saying they don't want to serve food to trump and anybody that has anything to do with him? there is consequences, we're going to talk about it, all coming up top of the hour we'll see you then.

here is what wisconsin senator ron johnson told maria on the show last week. >> the tax package goinge -- i just don't want to extend the current come for example tax system -- complex tax system. we have until the beginning of 2026 to do it. we should take our time. you don't need the incentive to secure the border to avoid a massive tax increase. cheryl: but americans for tax reform president grover norquist out with this warning. quote: republicans can kiss their house majority good-bye if they delay trump's tax cuts. he joins me now. grover, here's the question, even if they did push it towards the end of the year, they still would have the majority in the house and the senate. you've got a republican president. so why are you concerned about them waiting several months trying to figure out ore other piece of the more immediate future for spending first? >> because we've done stupid twice before. when reagan was elected, his tax cuts didn't take effect, full effect, until january of 1983. and in 1984 -- 198 a 5 -- i'm sorry, until 1983. in 11983 we had 4 million jobs created which

here now, senator ron johnson. did i overstate anything in the open, when you talk to colleagues, do you know what direction they want to go in? >> first of all merry christmas to you. my guess is no. they just want power. i've gone to a lot of trump rallies and what i always try and tell everybody, the one quality, the one attribute that all those people have in common with president trump as they love this country. and you compare that with president obama right before he got elected. he said in five days we are going to transform america. do you even... and that is what the democratic party has done during obama's eight years and then during biden's four years. they tried to fundamentally transform america. open borders, the whole issue with trans. saying you decide your gender when you grow up. boys can compete with girls and sports. and they can invade their locker room and use their bathrooms. that is what the party has been pushing on americans who love this country, who have faith, that want to have strong

senator ron johnson with this. >> democrats have put this country on a path of destruction.n borders, 40 year high inflation. weakness globally. president trump is reassigned the politics and now the republican party represent the working men in america. working men and women of america who built this country, who love this country and the democrats are representing the elite and just these whacko woke ideas. >> julie: democratic strategist said the party is in the toilet. many of the democrats are people who ran against the democratic party brand who succeeded in this cycle. democrats are adrift as donald trump prepares to take power. party has yet to land on a clear message or a leading messenger. power panel now, matt, principle of the vogel group, dan, former hillary clinton senior advisor and ceo of arc initiatives. thank you both for talking to me today. matt, i will start with you. the democrats really do need to get their act together. what they need to do is sit down, sit back, turn on your ears or listening ears as i tell my children and listen to the will of the a

some senators like bill can cassidy who is a physician and ron johnson have championed this cause, andrma needs to be taken on. it also questions though that senators from big farm sate ises -- state, how are they going to react. so far it's been well supported. mike: let's dig in on the polio vaccine. as you mentioned, mitch mcconnell is a polio survivor. what do you make of the vaccine? is it good for american children? >> i think it's a huge accomplishment. i must say that salk and sabin both came from new york medical center, and the vaccine is inactivated meaning knotts a live virus. and we have been using that in the united states since 2000 without any cases. you can't use that advantage screen -- vaccine unless there's no polio around. and in hot spots of the world where there's polio, you got to use the live virus vaccine, and that can occasionally lead to some cases of polio. we've got to stay where we are. we don't need to see any more polio in this country, and it can spread sub repetitiously, and i -- surreptitiously. and i think he needs to reassure senators on this. mike

he repeated it as he walked into his second meeting with senator ron johnson.s concerns about his views on a number of things including his stance on abortion and american farming. particularly this report on vaccine that revealed kennedy's lawyer a few years ago, tried to revoke f.d.a. approval for the polio vaccine and mitch mcconnell contracted polio as a child said that any efforts to undermine proven vaccines is a dangerous. watch. >> i think he will be much less radical. he has a much more open mind. he will be less radical. >> reporter: what about the polio vaccine? >> it's a big believer in it. i think everybody should be looked at. i'm a big believer. >> reporter:he a really busy schedule meeting with 25 different republicans in a matter of four days. so we will see if he makes anymore news. neil? >> neil: great reporting. ♪today my friend you did it, you did it♪ pursue a better you with centrum. ♪ it's a small win toward taking charge of your health. ♪ so, this year, you can say... ♪you did it!♪ it's a lot to be a caregiver and a daughter. because you

in the word of one senator included in that article with sahill senator ron johnson told me what they're trying to do is actually under-promise and over-deliver. i'm not sure if they are actually under-promising anything, but you're going to have multiple fights next year, government funding, a debt ceiling hike which republicans aren't happy about, by the way, so trump knows he's going to need democrats to do that, and it's going to be just a huge mess, which isn't my quote but what many lawmakers have told us in this article and of course in our reporting the last couple of days. >> can you imagine to your point, one vote away from the prospect of hakeem jeffries being speaker of the house. anyway, melanie, many republicans still did not vote for the final bill. so generally speaking who are they, and were they daring to defy trump? >> yeah, i mean they were. especially on that one bill that had the debt limit demand. you had 38 republicans who voted against it, so that was a little surprising even for some of us on capitol hill to see that level of republicans. most of them were fisca

senate republican ron johnson also weighed in, posting, quote, just confirming that under democratic governance, there truly is a dual system of justice, one that protects democrats and another weaponized against their political opponents. i want to discuss this now with ron brownstein, a cnn senior political analyst and senior editor at the atlantic. he joins us from los angeles. good to see you, ron so weeks before president biden leaves office this parting gift to his son, a blanket pardon and, of course, a complete reversal of his decision to abide by the jury's decision. right. >> yeah. look i think it is going to be controversial and in large part because of that reversal. but keep in mind, i mean this is this is coming on the, you know, the same weekend that president, former president trump indicated he's going to be sending wants to send to france, uh, the, the father of his son in law, who he pardoned at the end of his presidency, along with many of his own, you know, senior political advisers that he pardoned and that he named kash patel to his choice to run the fbi was of

i want to go now to republican senator ron johnson of the great state of wisconsin, member of the homeland security committee and you have already met with several of the president-elect trump's cabinet choices including rfk junior. let's start with kennedy and what the president-elect said yesterday. he will be less radical than what people think. what did you ask him? >> first of all, i got to know bobby kennedy during covid fighting some of the same battles trying to get the truth out to the american public. so if people had informed consent and that's basically what he wants to do. restore integrity to science, scientific research has been corrupted. when you pay for research you get the result you want and we have pharmaceutical companies paying for the research on the drugs they want to get approved. a corrupted process. he have is all into science but has to be uncorrupted science and i certainly witnessed all kinds of misinformation and lies being told about bobby kennedy. interesting i was doing -- the conversation went the same. there are a lot of things i love that bobby kennedy

primary that joe biden won in 2020, when he turned his campaign around and all of a sudden senator ron johnson was asking for information about burisma. so but that's the way it goes. it's also the case that hunter biden clearly over the course of his career, benefited from being joe biden's son. >> just just watch more people will be pardoned by this. this administration who dealt with hunter biden we will see. >> all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, the new congress, not yet in session, democrats already looking to the midterms. democratic congressman glenn ivey will be here to discuss how his party can move forward after their devastating losses. plus, heavy snow pummeling the great lakes, some places nearing five feet of powder and donald trump's pick to head, the fbi said this is his day one priority. >> i shut down the fbi hoover building on day one and reopening the next day as a museum of the deep state okay, everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy ensure with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health, and ensure co

ron johnson, the senator from wisconsin who was the chair of the homeland security committee at that point, issued a request for all sorts of paperwork related to hunter biden on unrelated things to these charges that he's facing or he was facing now. but about his work with a ukrainian gas company. so there it has all been intertwined. the focus on hunter biden and the politics of joe biden that said, these were prosecutions that were being uh, that were brought through courts and by a justice department that was under joe biden's administration. so in addition to the the change in position himself that he's facing here and saying that he wouldn't pardon hunter biden, that he is saying that he found that politics had infected his own justice department. >> yeah, it is it is fascinating to hear him saying that, uh just if you broaden it out, just because president trump has also been making accusations, obviously, that he's been targeted unfairly as well. and democrats had sought so, so, so hard to not let you know to really defend the justice department. and yet here we are now. >>

they will come to me or they will go to senator ron johnson or they will go to sometimes comforted tammy that is destroying my business here can you help me roll that rollback? yes, i do. i'll write a letter for you. we write letters. these bureaucrats impose rules and regulations that have the force of l legislation. congress is supposed to legislate which means that people can petition us for good or bad but the people have a voice because the congress is the one who makes the law. but he couldt take the power awy from the carcass and he put with the executive, the people don't have any power anymore. it's gone. our founders envisioned a different model where people were empowered in their government and had a say in their government. butre the rise of executive and diminishing of congress have offset thisba balance. that is a main issue is to get right in the house of representatives. it's not go to take us a month or a year. it's going to take us a while to get to the point where we have a balance. but if you're congress doesn't have a voice, you don't have a voice. it's going to tak

here's another republican senator ron johnson, who said just confirming that under democratic governance, there truly is a dual system of justice, one that protects democrats and another weaponized against their political opponent. but it's not just republicans that have criticized biden. you are also hearing from a small number of democrats, including representative greg stanton from arizona, saying, quote, i respect president biden, but i think he got this one wrong. he also goes on to say if this wasn't politically motivated, pro hunter committed felonies and was convicted by a jury of his peers. kate lauren thank you so much for that john. >> all right. with us now, cnn political commentator karen finney and cnn's senior political commentator scott jennings so, karen, you just heard democrat greg stanton, democratic governor of colorado. jared polis. there are democrats saying they're not happy that president biden made this decision yeah well, tough. >> the president went ahead and did what he thought was right for him and for and to protect his son. and i think there are going to b

reduction act led by my esteemed colleague gary peters, head of the government affairs with senator ron johnson as his co-lead. i want to thank representative green for leading the house companion. it appears financial management risk reduction is indeed an issue that speaks to everybody across the aisle. the bill would improve the quality and usability of independent audit data and enhanced oversight of funds and the single audit act of 1994 requires grant recipients to receive more than $750,000 to report an independent audit of their financial controls annually to the government. it increases accountability while reducing the burden on grant recipients by mandating a single consolidated audit instead of audits on a discrete grant by grant basis. in 202240 state territorial tribal governments submitted single audits. the reduction act aimed reducing the capability of single audit information to help with risk. it codifies the guidance and requires agencies to conduct quality review and directs o.m.b. to conduct a governmentwide audit every six years. the bill would require o.m.b. and g.s.a. t
