"It’s ridiculous that we have to go through this hostage taking" - Sen. Ron Johnson's Call for Fiscal Responsibility

In this episode, we welcome Senator Ron Johnson, who shares insights from his recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. We discuss the dysfunction in Washington regarding government funding and the need for automatic rolling two-week continuing resolutions to reduce uncertainty. Senator Johnson also addresses the potential link between acetaminophen and autism, emphasizing the importance of informed consent in healthcare decisions. Furthermore, we explore the evolving landscape of public health transparency and the impact of recent events on public trust in government.  Next, we engage with Congressman Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the new January 6th subcommittee, as he sheds light on the ongoing investigations into the events surrounding January 6th. We discuss the previous committee's alleged biases, the quest for missing documents, and the role of paid informants during the Capitol riot. Loudermilk emphasizes the importance of uncovering the truth behind the security failures and the mysterious presence of informants in the crowd.  Finally, we delve into the recent declarations from Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, and the UK recognizing Palestine as a state ahead of the UN General Assembly. Senior Research Fellow for National Security Policy at the Heritage Foundation, Steve Yates, joins us to unpack the implications of this recognition, the conditions set forth, and the broader geopolitical context. We explore the complexities surrounding Hamas, the potential consequences of these declarations, and the historical context of international relations in the region.
