In this in-depth interview, The New American’s Christian Gomez sits down with U.S. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin to discuss his stance on the bloated “One Big Beautiful Bill” (H.R. 1), which recently passed the House of Representatives. Senator Johnson explains why he opposes the bill in its current form, the need to return to pre-COVID spending levels, and how the failure to codify meaningful spending cuts — such as those identified by DOGE — could affect the 2026 midterm elections. Senator Johnson also weighs in on concerns raised by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky regarding excessive military spending and the Federal Reserve’s payment of billions in interest to private banks. He also shares his thoughts on calls to audit — and even abolish — the Federal Reserve. Turning to global governance schemes, Johnson responds to Senator Mike Lee’s proposed DEFUND Act, which would withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations and the World Health Organization. You won’t want to miss this hard-hitting conversation on fiscal responsibility, American sovereignty, and constitutional governance, straight from Wisconsin’s Tea Party senator.
