Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is raising eyebrows after revealing on Benny Johnson’s conservative podcast that he’s pushing for a congressional hearing to examine the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers.
Johnson, who serves on the the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, raised questions about the World Trade Center Building 7’s collapse, saying the documentary film, Calling Out Bravo 7 has sparked “an awful lot of questions.”
Senator Ron Johnson drops BOMBSHELL:

“Well, start with Building 7,” Sen. Johnson told Johnson. “Again, I don’t know if you can find structural engineers other than the ones that have the corrupt investigations like NIST that would say that that thing didn’t come down in any other way than a controlled demolition.”

– Not hit by a plane
– Building leaseholder Larry Silverstein says “Pull it”
– Collapsed at free fall speed into its own footprint (2.5 seconds)

“Who ordered the removal and the destruction of all that evidence? Totally contrary to any other firefighting investigation procedures. I mean, who ordered that? Who is in charge? I think there’s some basic information. Where’s all the documentation from the NIST investigation?” the Wisconsin lawmaker continued.
“Now, there are a host of questions that I want and I will be asking, quite honestly, now that my eyes have been opened up,” he added.

Johnson said he plans to work with former Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA), who recently appeared on Tucker Carlson’s podcast to discuss 9/11, “to expose what he’s willing to expose.”

The senator’s comments prompted Johnson to ask: “So we may actually see hearings about this?”
“I think so,” the senator replied while referencing previous efforts to obtain unredacted FBI files on behalf of 9/11 families.
“We want to get those answers, those documents for the families,” the lawmaker replied. “Hopefully, now with this administration, we can find out what is being covered up.”
Sen. Johnson expressed optimism that the Trump administration will authorize the release of 9/11-related documents, despite prior unsuccessful efforts to declassify them.
“We want those made available in terms of what happened. What did the FBI know that happened? So we had engaged with that. It was on a bipartisan basis. We wanted to get those answers, those documents for the families,” Sen. Johnson said. “Again, we didn’t get squat from the FBI. So hopefully now with this administration, I think President Trump should have some interests being a New Yorker himself.”
“What actually happened in 9/11? What do we know? What is being covered up? My guess is there’s an awful lot being covered up in terms of what the American government knows about 9/11,” he added.
Very interesting to say the least…

Delusional BS. Any of the AI’s can explain why building 7 collapsed and why it wasn’t a controlled demolition. Here is Grok.
“WTC 7, a 47-story steel-framed skyscraper, collapsed at 5:20 PM on 9/11, about seven hours after the Twin Towers (WTC 1 and 2) fell. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), tasked with investigating the collapses, concluded in its 2008 report that the collapse was caused by fire-induced structural failure, not explosives or controlled demolition. Here’s the step-by-step reasoning:
Debris Impact and Fires:
When WTC 1 (North Tower) collapsed at 10:28 AM, debris struck WTC 7, located about 370 feet away across Vesey Street. This caused significant structural damage, including large gashes in the south facade and the destruction of several lower floors.
The debris also severed water mains, disabling the building’s sprinkler systems. Fires broke out on multiple floors (notably 6, 7, 8, 12, and 13) and burned uncontrolled for hours, fueled by office furnishings and diesel fuel stored for emergency generators.
Thermal Expansion and Structural Failure:
The fires heated steel beams and floor assemblies, causing thermal expansion. Steel expands when heated, and in WTC 7’s design, this pushed critical structural components out of alignment.
A key failure occurred around Column 79, a vital support column in the building’s east side. Prolonged heating caused the floors around it to expand and buckle, destabilizing the column. NIST’s simulations showed that the failure of Column 79 triggered a progressive collapse.
Once Column 79 buckled, the load it supported redistributed to other columns, which couldn’t handle the extra stress. This led to a rapid, cascading failure across the building’s core and exterior columns.
Collapse Mechanics:
The interior structure collapsed first, pulling the exterior inward. This created the appearance of a near-simultaneous drop, often cited by skeptics as resembling a controlled demolition.
The building fell in about 6.5 seconds, consistent with a progressive collapse where the structure loses support and gravity takes over. The “free-fall” phase (about 2.25 seconds) occurred after the internal structure had already failed, as the exterior shell dropped unimpeded.
No Evidence of Explosives:
NIST tested for explosives and found no chemical residues (e.g., thermite or conventional explosives like RDX) in the debris.
Seismographic data from nearby stations showed no spikes consistent with explosive detonations at the time of WTC 7’s collapse, unlike what’s typical in controlled demolitions.
The collapse lacked other demolition hallmarks: no audible explosions (as reported by first responders), no visible flashes, and no cut columns (demolitions typically sever columns with precise charges).
Ho, ho ho. And you believe what NIST tells you? In that case, I have a large bridge in San Francisco I can sell you for a huge discount.
And you expect me to believe that a team of explosives experts placed and wired up tons of explosives in a 47 story fully occupied tower and NOBODY noticed or said a word? And then they waited for hours after the other towers had collapsed before bringing down a fully evacuated building that was already on fire. You will note that the AI used multiple sources in its analysis, which is what AIs do very well.
Here’s how Grok addressed the controlled demolition theorists:
“Addressing Controlled Demolition Claims
Skeptics often argue WTC 7’s collapse looked “too neat” or was too rapid, pointing to these points:
“Symmetrical Collapse”:
Claim: The building fell straight down, like a controlled demolition.
Rebuttal: The collapse wasn’t perfectly symmetrical. Videos show the east penthouse collapsing first, indicating internal failure, followed by the rest of the structure. Progressive collapse can appear uniform as the building’s weight pulls everything downward. NIST’s models show asymmetry in the internal failures, even if the exterior drop looked tidy.
“Free-Fall Speed”:
Claim: WTC 7 fell at free-fall speed, implying no resistance and thus explosives.
Rebuttal: NIST measured a 2.25-second free-fall phase, but only after the internal structure had collapsed. The overall collapse took longer (6.5 seconds), consistent with a structure losing support progressively. Free-fall doesn’t require explosives—once the columns failed, gravity did the rest.
“No Steel Building Collapsed from Fire Before”:
Claim: Steel skyscrapers don’t collapse from fire, so WTC 7 must have been demolished.
Rebuttal: WTC 7’s situation was unique: prolonged, uncontrolled fires (6+ hours), no sprinklers, and prior structural damage from debris. Other steel buildings (e.g., the 2005 Madrid Windsor Tower) have partially collapsed from fire, and WTC 7’s design, with long-span floors and critical columns, was particularly vulnerable to thermal expansion. No other steel building had faced this exact combination of factors.
“Melted Steel or Thermite”:
Claim: Molten metal or thermite residue proves explosives or incendiaries.
Rebuttal: No evidence of molten steel was found at WTC 7 (unlike WTC 1 and 2, where jet fuel and debris created hotter, longer-lasting fires). Thermite, a slow-burning incendiary, isn’t used in demolitions and leaves distinct residues (aluminum oxide, iron microspheres) not found in WTC 7 debris. Any molten material reported was likely aluminum or other low-melting-point metals from office contents.
“Foreknowledge of Collapse”:
Claim: Media (e.g., BBC) reported WTC 7’s collapse prematurely, suggesting a conspiracy.
Rebuttal: Firefighters and engineers on-site anticipated the collapse due to the visible fires, damage, and structural creaking. Evacuation orders were issued hours earlier. The BBC’s early report (by ~20 minutes) was likely a miscommunication amid chaotic reporting, not evidence of a plot.
“Demolition Logistics”:
Claim: The collapse required pre-planted explosives.
Rebuttal: Controlled demolitions take weeks to months to plan, involving extensive wiring, column cutting, and visible preparation. WTC 7 was occupied and operational until 9/11, with no evidence of such activity. Planting explosives undetected in a busy office building, then coordinating them to mimic a fire-induced collapse, strains credulity.
Why It Matters
The controlled demolition theory often stems from distrust in official narratives, amplified by WTC 7’s less-publicized collapse and its visual similarity to demolitions. However, the evidence—debris damage, fire duration, thermal expansion, and lack of explosive signatures—points to a fire-driven progressive collapse. NIST’s simulations, corroborated by independent engineers, show that the failure of Column 79 under fire conditions could bring down the entire building.
And like everything else with this administration, no arrests, indictments,prison or anything else because it all involves zion dons friends.
There’s also the small matter of the BBC reporting the collapse of WTC7 some 26 minutes before it actually collapsed. Conveniently, the BBC ‘lost’ the tapes.
The whole thing was planned, like “Titanic” sinking & the next year fed gubmint gets installed.
