Watch today’s Matt Walsh show and you may change your mind. Johnson is seen barfing up BLM talking points in a 2020 interview. VERY DISAPPOINTING!
Exactly. He has a remarkable ability to encapsulate the answer he wants to hear within the question that he asks.
Fox is the so called conservative outlet. He tested the waters. He will be braving the more extreme lying MSM quite soon.
I prefer to be encouraged by his strong support of Donald Trump, which is reciprocated!
Johnson’s position is exactly the same as Jordan’s which is exactly the same as my Rep’s.
I think you’re gonna find that many who voted against the last bill with aid for Ukraine take that stance. That said, I don’t think any of them would oppose an audit of money sent. Johnson in fact directly says an audit of what’s been sent should be done, so I’m not quite understanding your complaint on that point. Weapons (which are actually where most of the $$ are tied up) are a little tricky because weapons locations once in theater CAN’T be disclosed, for operational security. However, there is no proof anywhere of any of the bigger systems, which is where most of the weapons money is, have shown up outside Ukraine (except a few pieces captured and taken to Russia.)
Just keep in mind that our Gov’t is wasting somewhere in the neighborhood of a trillion dollars DOMESTICALLY on an annual basis, so, your concern about that should be commeasurate.
I’m still celebrating that Nasty Pelosi the mafia princess is gone.
I do not expect perfection of any human.
And Reagan gave illegals amnesty and Trump pushed lockdowns and the dangerous “vaccine.” When you find the perfect person you’re searching for, let us know.
That was 2020. Trump was in office. Now Johnson has had three years of national destruction by Biden/Obama to straighten out his thinking.
Too bad it was with Hannity - damn, that dude just can’t shut up for a second even. Shaun uses the pronoun “I” even more than Obama does.
Agree about all with Vannity. Perhaps his worst habit is clicking his pen rapidly while interviewees are trying to speak. What kind of nervous tic is that?!
Very impressive interview!
Oh my.
How about we wait for his actions and not his words?
The GOP has had us wandering around the ‘political desert’ for 40 years looking for the “new” Reagan.
Cocaine?

The assistance will take the form of direct transfers of equipment from the Department of Defense to the Ukrainian military to help them defend their country against Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion.
The MARCH 16, 2022 new $800 million assistance package includes:
800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems;
2,000 Javelin, 1,000 light anti-armor weapons,
6,000 AT-4 anti-armor systems;
100 Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems;
100 grenade launchers, 5,000 rifles, 1,000 pistols, 400 machine guns, and 400 shotguns;
Over 20 million rounds of small arms ammunition and grenade launcher and mortar rounds;
25,000 sets of body armor; and
25,000 helmets.
In addition to the MARCH 16, 2022 weapons listed above, previous US assistance committed to Ukraine includes:
Over 600 Stinger anti-aircraft systems;
Approximately 2,600 Javelin anti-armor systems;
Five Mi-17 helicopters;
Three patrol boats;
Four counter-artillery and counter-unmanned aerial system tracking radars;
Four counter-mortar radar systems;
200 grenade launchers and ammunition;
200 shotguns and 200 machine guns;

Body armor, helmets, and other tactical gear;
Military medical equipment to support treatment and combat evacuation;

In addition to the U.S.-produced short-range air defense systems the Ukrainians have been using to great effect, the United States has also identified and is helping the Ukrainians acquire additional, longer-range systems on which Ukraine’s forces are already trained, as well as additional munitions for those systems.
The United States continues to expedite the authorization and facilitation of additional assistance to Ukraine from our Allies. At least 30 countries have provided security assistance to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began.
In 2022, the Department of State authorized third-party transfers of defensive equipment from more than 14 countries, a number that continues to grow as Allies and Partners increase support to Ukraine.

Immediate Release
Oct 26, 2023
Biden Administration Announces Additional Security Assistance for Ukraine
Today, Oct 26, 2023, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced additional security assistance to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs.
This announcement is the Biden Administration’s forty-ninth tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.
This Oct 26, 2023 package includes additional air defense capabilities, artillery ammunition, anti-tank weapons, and other equipment to help Ukraine counter Russia’s ongoing war of aggression and fight for its independence and freedom.
This package utilizes assistance previously authorized for Ukraine during prior fiscal years under Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) that remained after the PDA revaluation process concluded in June. This security assistance package is another visible signal of the United States’ continued commitment to supporting the Ukrainian people in the face of Russian aggression.
The United States remains committed to working with Allies and partners to provide Ukraine with capabilities to meet its immediate battlefield needs, and the Biden Administration calls on Congress to meet its commitment to the people of Ukraine by passing additional funding to ensure Ukraine continues to have what it needs to defend itself against Russia’s brutal war of choice.
Security assistance for Ukraine is a smart investment in our national security. It helps to prevent a larger conflict in the region and deter potential aggression elsewhere, while strengthening our defense industrial base and creating highly skilled jobs for the American people.
The capabilities in this package, valued at up to $150 million, include:
• Additional munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);
• AIM-9M missiles for air defense;
• Stinger anti-aircraft missiles;
• Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
• 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds;
• Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;
• Javelin anti-armor systems;
• More than 2 million rounds of small arms ammunition;
• Night vision devices;
• Demolitions munitions for obstacle clearing;
• Cold weather gear; and
• Spare parts, maintenance, and other ancillary equipment.
Yea, words are great but let’s see what he actually does. I think at the very least they chose someone who wasn’t in their planned succession of leadership. There is now no guarantee who will be the next speaker or the next majority leader. He may be the right guy he may now be but he wasn’t a part of their grand plan.
Haven’t seen Hannity for years. He’s looking old.
