Ron Johnson: “On March 22, we did reach out the day after the Brussels…”

“… problems, see what we need to do here in America to try and keep this nation, our homeland, as safe and secure as possible. I also do have to say, On March 22, we did reach out the day after the Brussels hearing to the FBI, also the dhs, and the National Counterterrorism center to have witnesses appear before this committee today. Unfortunately, nobody from any of those departments or agencies agreed to testify. which is disappointing to me. I know Secretary Johnson's on the Hill today having a press conference on additional funding for dhs, which, listen, we want to support the department having the tools, the resources they need to keep this nation safe.” (02:32–02:52)
