"I want you to know what that (Democrat) counterproposal includes, because we've not yet gone into all the details of it. It's large and very absurd," Johnson said.

In addition to a half-billion dollars of taxpayer funding for leftist media outlets via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Democrats are also demanding $200 billion for health care for illegal aliens, Johnson said.

$3.9 million for LGBTQI+ democracy grants in the western Balkans.
$2 million for organizing for feminist democratic principles in Africa.
$2.9 million for desert locust risk reduction in the Horn of Africa.
$24.6 million for climate resilience in Honduras.
$13.4 million for civic engagement in Zimbabwe.
