Sen. Ron Johnson: Kamala Harris is ‘lying’

BE PAID FOR, BUT YOU CAN EXPECT THIS IDEA TO BE A POPULAR A ONE. DAVID? IS. DAVID: MADISON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JOINING ME NOW IS WISCONSIN SENATOR RON JOHNSON. SENATOR, I'VE GOT TO SAY, SHE KEEPS COUPLEING -- UPPING THE ANTE ON THESE FIBS SHE COMES OUT WITH, MAYBE ALREADY SOME WORSE WAYS TO DESCRIBE IT, BUT I WON'T DO IT ON A FAMILY TELEVISION PROGRAM. BUT TO SAY THAT DONALD TRUMP STOLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF WAGES FROM WORKERS AFTER THE INFLATION THAT WE HAVE SEEN WHICH HAS ROBBED WORKERS OF THEIR PURCHASING POWER TO THE BILLIONS, SOME MIGHT EASTERN SAY THE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS WHEN YOU ADD IT ALL UP, I MEAN, WHO'S GOT THIS STORY RIGHT? >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, DAVID, SHE'S LYING. DO YOU THINK THE LEGACY OF THE CORPORATE MEDIA ARE GOING TO CALL HER ON IT? THERE WAS A GREAT ARTICLE IN THE FEDERALIST PUBLICATION JUST DOCUMENTING 25 LIES SHE TOLD DURING THE DEBATE. SO, AGAIN, YOU CANNOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HER MOUTH. SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT. BUT WHAT I WANT TO FOCUS ON IS WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FOCUSING ON, THE HARD WORKING MEN IF WOMEN OF AMERICAFUL ALL OF HIS TAX PROPOSALS ARE FOCUSED ON PEOPLE WHEN WORK, WHO WORK TIRELESSLY, WHO WORK HARD TO PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. THAT'S WHAT OUR FOCUS SHOULD BE ON, AND THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS IF WE DO NOTHING, A LOT OF THE TAX CUTS, MOST OF THE TAX CUTS EXPIRE, AND THAT'S ALMOST A $5 TRILLION TAX INCREASE JUST RIGHT THEN AND THERE. THROW ON TOP OF THAT KAMALA HARRIS' TAX THE PROPOSAL WHERE SHE'S INCREASING THE CORPORATE RATE WHICH WOULD HARM THE ECONOMY, SHE BACKS TO THE TAX THE UNREALIZED -- BOTH UNREALIZED CAPITAL GAINS AND, AGAIN, FORCING PEOPLE TO SELL ASSET ISES. THAT WILL TANK MARKETS. SHE WANTS TO PUT IN WAGE AND PRICE CONTROLS WHICH WILL REDUCE THE SUPPLY OF GOODS, DRIVE UP INFLATION. AGAIN, THE MOST DEVASTATING STAT AND BIDEN HAS PUT OUT SO MANY OF THEM, BUT IN TERMS OF ECONOMICALLY, THE FACT THAT IT DOES COST AMERICANS MORE THAN $1,000 PER MONTH JUST THE MAINTAIN THE STANDARD OF LIVING THEY HAD BECAUSE OF THEIR 40-YEAR-HIGH INFLATION, BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE DEFICIT SPENDING WHICH THEY WANT TO CONTINUE. THE WAR ON FOSSIL FUEL, THEY WANT TO CONTINUE. IT'S A SHAME THE LEGACY MEDIA DON'T HOLD HER ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEVASTATION TO WORKING CLASS MEN AND WOMEN THAT THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION WROUGHT ON OUR ECONOMY. DAVID: YEAH, WELL, WE CAUGHT HE. I'VE GOT TO PUT OUT SOMETHING THAT SHE SAID, PICKING UP ON WHAT BIDEN SAID AND SHE REPEATED IT IN THE DEBATE ON TUESDAY NIGHT. SHE SAID THE TRUMP TAX CUTS WERE JUST FOR BILLIONAIRES. WE KNOW THAT 65% OF TAXPAYERS, EVEN "THE NEW YORK TIMES" ADMITTED THIS, 65% OF TAXPAYERS GOT A TAX CUT AS A RESULT OF THE TRUMP TAX CODE THAT WAS PUT IN IN 2017. THEN SHE SAID IT COST $222 TRILLION. WELL -- $2 TRILLION. WELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT BROUGHT IN AN EXTRA 47% OF REVENUES IN THE 5 YEARS FROM 2017-2022, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, ALMOST 48% INCREASE IN REVENUE. THAT'S AN INCREASE OF ABOUT A $111.5 TRILLION. SO -- 1.5 TRILLION. IT DIDN'T COST $2 TRILLION, IT MADE $11.5 TRILLION BECAUSE THERE WAS MORE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. SHOULDN'T DONALD TRUMP JUST OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN BE POINTING THAT OUT? >> YES. YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS -- WHEN WE SCORE THESE THINGS, THERE'S A STATIC SCORE. DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE DYNAMIC IMPACT OF ECONOMIC GROWTH. AND SO PRIOR TO THE COVID PANDEMIC, THAT TAX CUT HAD PRETTY WELL PAID FOR IT. THEN, OF COURSE, YOU HAD THE COVID RECESSION, BUT, AGAIN, PRINCIPAL REVENUE WAS UP. -- FEDERAL REVENUE IF IS UP. THE PROBLEM IS FEDERAL SPENDING IS UP GROTESQUELY. IN 2019 THE TOTAL GOVERNMENT SPENDING WAS $4.9 TRILLION. THIS YEAR WE'LL SPEND ALMOST $7 TRILLION. OUR POPULATION HAS GROWN ABOUT 32% SINCE THAT TIME -- 2 SINCE THAT TIME PERIOD, SPENDING'S UP 65%. THERE'S NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THAT. THAT'S WHAT'S CAUSED THE INFLATION, INTEREST RATE INCREASE, THAT'S WHAT'S CAUSED THE PAIN AMERICAN FAMILIES ARE EXPERIENCING. DAVID: YEAH. AND THAT'S WHAT PUT A HOLE IN AMERICAN WORKERS' POCKETS. THAT'S WHERE THE MILLIONS AND BILLIONS HAVE GONE, TOWARDS INFLATION. THAT'S THE WORST TAX OF ALL. BUT SHE ALSO, SHE WAS ALSO CLAIMING THAT MANUFACTURING WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. OVER THE PAST THREE MONTHS, WE HAVE LOST MANUFACTURING JOBS. WE LOST ABOUT 8,000 MANUFACTURING JOBS IN JUNE. IN JULY WE HAD AN UPTICK BUT ONLY 1,000 JOBS. WE -- THE TOTAL JOB LOSS BECAUSE IN AUGUST WE LOST 24,000 MANUFACTURING JOBS. IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS, WE'VE LOST 31,000 MANUFACTURING JOBS. HOW COULD ANYBODY CLAIM SUCCESS ON THE MANUFACTURING TRUMP WITH A RECORD LIKE THAT? >> WELL, BECAUSE SHE HAS THE MEDIA IN HER BACK POCKET, BY AND LARGE. NO, LOOK, THE SAD FACT, AND THIS IS UNSUSTAINABLE, SO MUCH OF OUR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB WITH CREATION HAS COME FROM DEFICIT AND GOVERNMENT SPENDING, FROM GOVERNMENT JOBS. AGAIN, YOU WANT THE GROW THE PRIVATE SECTOR. THAT'S THE GOLDEN GOOSE THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO KILL. DAVID: YEAH. WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAS CREATED THIS GREAT COUNTRY THAT WE LIVE IN, IS THE PRIVATE SECTOR. THE MORE TRILLIONS YOU TAKE OUT OF IT AND HAND TO THE GOVERNMENT, THE LESS PRODUCTIVE A COUNTRY YOU'LL HAVE. I WANT TO SWITCH GEARS FOR A SECOND BECAUSE THE SECRET SERVICE INVESTIGATION IF OF THE JULY ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON DONALD TRUMP IS REALLY TURNING UP A NEST OF HORNETS HERE. AND EVEN TO YOUR DEMOCRAT COLLEAGUE DICK BLUMENTHAL SUGGESTED -- I WANT TO THE PLAY A SOUND BITE OF HIS AND THEN COME BACK TO YOU. ROLL THAT. >> I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE SHOCKED, ASTONISHED AND APPALLED BY WHAT WE WILL REPORT TO THEM ABOUT THE FAILURES BY THE SECRET SERVICE IN THIS ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON A FORMER PRESIDENT. DAVID: SENATOR, SHOCKED, ASTONISHED AND APPALLED THAT. 'S COMING FROM THE A -- FROM A DEMOCRAT. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT WHAT WOULD LEAD HIM TO SAY THINGS LIKE THAT? >> FIRST OF ALL, AREN'T WE ALREADY SHOCKED, APPALLED, ASTONISHED BY THE FAILURE, THE SPECTACULAR FAILURE? IF YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW A WHOLE LOT MORE, BUT WE'LL GET INTO MORE DETAILS. WE ARE GOING TO ISSUE A BIPARTISAN PRELIMINARY FINDING WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. AGAIN, BIPARTISAN IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW, I WAS IN THE SAME BRIEFING WITH ACTING DIRECTOR ROWE AND, BY THE WAY, THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THEY SLOW WALK IT. THEY COME CAN AND MEET WITH IT, THEY DON'T GIVE YOU MUCH INFORMATION. IT DID ALLOW ME TO JUST GO THROUGH THE LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS WE STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN YET. WE DON'T HAVE THE 302s, THE TRANSCRIPTIONS FROM THE FBI INTERVIEWS, SO IT'D BE VERY HANDY AS WE GO INTO OUR INTERVIEWS, WE CAN LEARN AN AWFUL LOT. WE DON'T HAVE TRAJECTORY REPORTS, THE AUTOPSY REPORT. THE HOUSE DOES. WE DON'T HAVE TOXICOLOGY REPORTS. AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE CRIME SCENE? DID YOU RECOVER BULLETS? DAVID: RIGHT. >> AGAIN, THERE'S SO MUCH THAT REALLY IS JUST NOT BEING DISCLOSED BY THE FBI AND SECRET SERVICE -- DAVID: WELL, DO YOU HAVE THE BIPART SEASON SUPPORT? I -- BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, I JUST PLAYED THE SOUND BITE FROM SENATOR BLUMENTHAL. HE'S ALONG WITH YOU THEN. CAN YOU BREAK THIS LOG JAM OF INFORMATION WITH THE BIPARTISAN GROUP OF SENATORS? QUICKLY. >> WELL, THEY NEED TO START ISSUING SUBPOENAS, QUITE HONESTLY. AGAIN, THIS IS KIND OF, I HOPE, A LAST CHANCE FOR DIRECTOR ROWE OF THE FBI TO START TURNING OVER DOCUMENTS UNREDACTED, MAKE AVAILABLE THE KEY WITNESSES WE NEED TO TALK TO. AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO COMPEL TESTIMONY. I'M NOT THE CHAIRMAN. IT'LL TAKE THOSE TWO TO START ISSUING SUBPOENAS. I HOPE THEY'RE WILLING THE START DOING THAT
