Well, Follow is continuing from Donald Trump's disastrous 60 Minutes interview, and Mike Johnson is going against his wishes that he very publicly announced after the interview took place. I'm going to read that for you here. It says, Donald Trump, it's, I mean, it's, I wish, I wish we could, I wish I could make AI yell this. Terminate the filibuster, not just for the shutdown, but for everything else, we will get all of our common sense policies. approve voter ID anyone and make America great again remember the Democrats will do it immediately as soon as they get the chance I wish I wish that we're true are doing it will not give them the chance Republicans be tough and smart the demers are crazy lunatics they will not open up our country no matter how many people are irreparably harmed now Mike Johnson

responded to this pretty pretty directly he also responded to something else Donald Trump did and was very indirect which I'm going to show you but I'm going to just tell you something about this. You're going to think this is crazy, perhaps, but I actually think this is a very hopeful statement because though Donald Trump is clearly insane writing in all caps and demanding Republicans do something for him as if he is running a fiefdom.

It's also optimistic because Donald Trump is admitting he's not all powerful that he needs the Republicans to actually do stuff in Congress in order for him to achieve his goals. So I know that sounds like a stretch, and clearly we are grasping for any amount of hope we can. But to me, this gives me hope because Donald Trump's saying, hey, I can't do it all. And in the democracy, that's a good thing. That's a good thing.

So I'm going to hold on to that. Thank you, Donald Trump for giving me some hope today. Now, Mike Johnson responded to this in the way that he always does, and he just said this. What would the Democrats do if they had no filibuster impediment, no speed bump at all? They've already told us. They would pack the Supreme Court. from 9 to 13 or 15 or 17 or however many liberals they can pack on the court. You would have D.C. and Puerto Rico be made into states, which would give four additional

Democrat senators there in the count and make us a permanent minority. I guess that would be their calculation. You would see massive restriction of the Second Amendment, Second Amendment rights. You'd see them federalize elections so they could take over and manipulate things in the red states. I mean, there's a lot of abuses that could come. So there he is saying that they, They should not get rid of the filibuster.

And I'm just going to give you some back on the filibuster. The filibuster is a stupid rule in the Senate that says that most legislation in the Senate does not pass with a simple majority. 60 senators need to vote on it in order for it to pass, which is, to me, stupid. The Republican Senate was set there to govern. I feel like they should. When Democrats are in control, the Democrats should govern. And they should be able to pass any laws that they deem fit because they were sent to Congress

to actually get things done. That's one of the reasons why the Senate sucks. One of the reasons why people don't like Congress. Because nothing happens there because of the Senate and the filibuster. I say get rid of it. That's kind of how I feel. And I also feel like if Republicans want to make the country worse, they've been voting into office.

Go do it. And then Republicans would have to suffer the consequences, the electoral consequences of passing shitty legislation. So I think the filibuster sucks on both sides because we can't get stuff done and also the bad things they want to do don't get fully formed. and so Americans don't fully understand who they elected. Okay?

Now, now, let's change gears. Nick Fentz was attacked by rep Congressman Randy Fine. Because Nick Fonthez, as I said, he is literally a Nazi, said Team Hitler. I don't think he's joking. And Congressman Randy Fine, who is a Republican, said, 400,000 Americans died to defeat Team Hitler. You are the very definition of America to last. Unfortunately, no, Nick Flentes is a rising star on your party, a party you cannot control. And to this, Nick Fuentes said, and you would have hundreds of thousands more dead Americans

in order to expand Israel's borders because that's the only country you care about. You're disgusting fat pig. Get out of my country. I'm just going to say this is, this is rep Randy Fine. That's all I'm going to say. That is him. So there is a maga civil war happening, and it's actually very apparent too because Nick Fuentes went on the attack when it came to J.D. Vance. And he said, well, first off, someone said

that this is J.D. Vance's biggest political problem in 2008. How in earth is he going to get the MAGA base to accept her? And Nick Fuentes said this, when conservatives attack Zoran Mamdani for being a foreigner, I just want them to keep the same energy with Vivek Ramoswamy and Ushavance. Let's be consistent. And that's one of the reasons why I do believe that there is some there there when it comes to J.D. Vance and his wife, because this is a political, it's sad. I think it's very sad that this is a political liability that his wife, who is an Indian descent, is Hindu. I think it's a beautiful thing to have a family of mixed cultures. It's one of the beautiful things about our country, that we are supposed to be a country of mixed cultures, all American, but all different.

shades of red, white, and blue. But apparently to these folks, that's not a good thing. And I want to say this, too, because this is probably the most newsworthy moment from yesterday's interview with 60 minutes. I'm going to play it for you. And then I have Mike Johnson's response, which I think is detestable. This year, the president has pardoned or shortened the sentences of more than 1,600 people. The latest pardon was for a cryptocurrency tycoon, who is known as CZ. The company CZ founded, Binance, helped boost the profile of the Trump family's crypto firm, World Liberty Financial. He pled guilty in 2023 to violating anti-money laundering laws. The government at the time said that CZ had caused significant harm to U.S. national security, essentially by allowing terrorist groups

like Hamas to move millions of dollars around. Why did you pardon him? Okay, are you ready? I don't know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that, and I heard it was a Biden witch hunt. In 2025, his crypto exchange, finance, helped facilitate a $2 billion purchase

of World Liberty Financial's staple coin. And then you pardoned CZ. How do you address the appearance of pay for play? Well, here's the thing. know nothing about it because i'm too busy doing the other but he got a part but i can only tell you that i can only tell you this um my sons are into it i'm glad they are because it's probably a great industry crypto i think it's good you know they're running a business they're not in government because you were yeah so yay that was some great journalism and we got even more great journalism when

uh mike johnson was asked about this and keep in mind donald trump is such a pathetic piece of shit that when he put up a picture of all the presidents in the White House, he put up the auto pen for Joe Biden. But for some reason, him not knowing who he pardoned is completely fine. Of course, I don't believe that one bit, but regardless, here's Mike Johnson's take on it, or here's what he said. Last week, he came here to these mics and you were very critical of Joe Biden's, he used the auto pen, he's pardoned, he said he didn't even know who he was pardoning. The last Last time in 60 minutes, the president, President Trump, admitted not knowing he parted a crypto-billionaire to money laundering.

Does that also concern me? I don't know anything about that. I didn't see the interview. You have to ask the president about that. I'm not sure. Yes, ma'am. Now, this is not the first time Mike Johnson has completely lied that he just doesn't see Donald Trump's awful actions or words.

And here is just a small compilation of that. What are you with the president apparently seeking $230 million from the Department of Justice? I don't know the details about that. I've just read it. I didn't talk with him about that. See? Yeah, he does it all the time. He does it all the time. So we're going to keep following all this and much more. So do you please stick around, hit like, subscribe, and I'll see you soon. Bye.
