He is begging other MAGA Republicans to stop criticizing him and expressing their concerns about him publicly. He says it's creating a lot of problems for him and just can people please keep a quiet. Maga Mike Johnson is terrified that he is going to lose his job potentially before the midterms because this week we saw a massive MAGA revolt against Maga Mike Johnson. And everybody from MAGA Republican Congresswoman Elise Tophonic to MAGA Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace from Republican Thomas Massey to Troy Nell's announcing his resignation to Maga Republican Marjorie Taylor Green going on 16 minutes to talk about MAGA Mike and Donald Trump betraying the MAGA movement. Maga Mike is seeing the walls close in on him and MAGA Mike doesn't know what to do. So let me show you what went down because Maga Mike runs to state regime media on Fox and begs them for help.

As I said, Maga Mike Johnson runs to state regime media, which calls itself Fox and Maga Mike's like, look, look, look, look. We all know that this Congress was the most productive in the history of Congress. Here, play this clip.

if we stay unified, there is absolutely nothing that we can't achieve. But we've already demonstrated that at this Congress. We've had one of the most productive Congresses in the history of the institution. Do you need the president to get on the phone to some reluctant GOP members in the house and say, come on, come on? He's been very helpful at a couple of junctures along the way where we've had big legislation, the one big beautiful bill, the working families tax cut, other things where you had two or three or four holdouts, which I can't afford. Now, remember in previous years, speakers had 25, 30, 40 seat majorities. I have a razor-thin majority.

I have to get every single Republican on most days. And so it takes a lot of work, but we're going to get there. You got to give the guy, I guess, some credit for being the biggest sociopath ever. If you're going to go full sociopath being like number one or two, I guess in the sociopath Hall of Fame is something that I guess sociopaths won credit for. All I know is that what are you talking about, Maga, Mike, right? I mean, this was the least productive Congress ever, just in terms of the legislation that was not passed the fact that there was a government shutdown to cover up a child sex trafficking ring

you shut down the government to cover up a child sex trafficking in which you're actively trying to still cover up and then you said that the powerful men in the Epstein files are new victims and that you're afraid of creating a new class of victims you're a sick oh maga mike and you would go around with donald at the UFC fights and think that you're a tough guy you just looked like a pathetic damn weasel maga mike is what you looked like but then maga mike's like but i was working 18 hour days when during the government shutdown you work at 18 hour when were you working 18 hour days maga mike you're just a fraud and maga mike's like i work 18 hour days donald works 21 hour days so we both work basically all day you know we see donald trump falling asleep

before our eyes when he starts his days at noon we're not falling for this maga mike here watch what he says here play this clip. Do you work 18 hours a day? More, more. And I have to because President Trump works 21 hours a day. I see you on TV all the time, always surrounded by hostile media people. Oh, yes. It's a really fun job to go at you. No, look, we accept this duty humbly. It's an important time in American history. Are you enjoying it? I'm sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Speaker, but I've got to get to grips with the job you're doing. I mean, I'm a wartime speaker in a real sense. And so it's not, it's not, it's not the most enjoyable job in the world, but I do love what we're doing. I love the team I work with. We have

a unified Republican Party. If we didn't, Stewart, we would not have delivered on all the things that we have this year. There's much more ahead of us. And this team is excited about it. It is. And then on this state regime media show, Varney asks Maga Mike, so did the Republicans have a messaging problem when it comes to affordability, right? Do you have a problem on that issue? And Maga Mike's like, no. The issue is we're so good that we just have so many messages because We've been so great on affordability, because all Americans know that right now, things are so affordable and they love MAGA because of the affordability issue. These guys are delusional. Maga, Mike, things are not affordable.

You do not have good messaging because y'all are the cause of the fact that America right now is suffering. But play this clip. President Trump's going to Pennsylvania Tuesday, I believe, to talk about his economic agenda ahead of the midterms. Do the Republicans have a messaging problem with affordability? No, it's just that we've had so many things to message. I mean, it's a blessing and a curse. The big, beautiful bill was aptly named because there was so much in it, so much policy. And there were so many things to message all at once.

So you had different Republicans out talking about different things, which they need to do in their districts, but it made it appear as though the message wasn't unified. We are laser focused on affordability, bringing down the cost of living. I mean, right, like the biggest sociopath there. I know, how else do you, like, do you, I'm sure you know a sociopath in your life maga mike is like next level sociopath hall of fame and then maga mike goes but here's what i want to do on the affordable care act right the affordable care act which lots of americans use need to have health care right the serious issue maga mike's like i i wish we could just rip it out

from its from its roots and start over hey maga mike you claim that you had your own plan you claim that after the shutdown ended you would show us your plan why would you need to rip something out from show us your better plan Donald Trump during his first administration kept telling us every two weeks he'd have a plan but do you know how dastardly

how despicable of a human being you are maga mike when you tell the American people that you have a health care plan that you will announce after the government shutdown that you and Donald Trump created and then you just right now rant and rave and wine, where's your damn plan? Because this is life or death, man, from Americans. This is life or death stuff. I know for you, it's all a game magma. No, for the American people,

this is life or death, damn it. Here, play this clip. He has broken. Has been since day one. Of course. Do you have the ability to really reform it? We have to reform it. We have to reform it. I wish that we could rip it out from the roots and start over, but it's so deeply ingrained. It's sinister in that way. But it has broken the system. And what we have to do is go in and reform it. We have lots of ideas, expanding HSAs, the cost sharing reduction models, reforming PBMs. I mean, we could go on and on. We will.

We pull all that together. In one plan, we draw consensus around it, and Republicans are on a mission to fix health care. So you'll reform Obama if you can.

Like you have this MAGA Republican propagandist on CNBC named Joe Kiernan,

who's like the biggest MAGA jerk. He just like sits back. Hey, everybody. I'm a MAGA guy. Donald Trump. I mean, total clown, this Joe Kiernan guy. Like, the fact that they pass this off as a financial show is just utterly despicable. But anyway, he brings in MAGA Republican Jason Smith. And this guy's like a weirdo too. Just every aspect about Jason. And Jason Smith, freaking weirdo. I'm sorry if I'm doing too many ad hominid attacks. But watch Jason Smith. You'll get what I mean. So Kiernan's like, so where does Mike Johnson really have a plan? Watch what Jason Smith says. Play this clip.

Is Mike Johnson? Is he saying that they have a plan? Is the speaker? Yesterday, he said that we're working on a plan. Okay. I'm wondering, Andrew. What do you think, Andrew? You got any? You're doing great.

Really? Yeah. Who? I'm not, I'm trying to be... Down the middle, I see. Trying to blame both sides. But it is, it is blameable on both sides. Well, okay.

He's not going to really say, he's just going to say what he said. Is that what you're saying? What he... You're looking at me saying what he said. Exactly. Okay. We got to go, Mr. Chairman. We hope you come back. All right. Can I show you some of the recent headlines about Maga Mike Johnson from yesterday? Hat tip Aaron Frischner for pulling these headlines. This is in one day. Speaker Johnson pleads with Republicans to keep concerns private after tumultuous week.

Mike Johnson scrambles to pass Pentagon bill as GOP ranks seethe. We're going to talk about that Pentagon bill in a second because Maga Mike wants. to remove IVF coverage for people in the military from it. He thinks that IVF is murder. And so he wants to deprive our service members of getting IVF coverage. That's one of the main holdups in the Pentagon bill. Think about that. Right.

Killing war crimes in Venezuela, they're like, let's do it. War crimes, all good. IVF for our own military. Whoa, that's murder. Right. I mean, that's who we're dealing with you. That's their view of things. It's crazy.

Speaker Johnson struggles to keep. of the House floor. Can Mike Johnson survive until the midterms? Johnson faces growing frustration from Republicans as key issues expose riffs. Speaker Johnson under attack from his own mood as his own mood darkens in House GOP. The revolt of Republican women. Yeah, I mean, because he's this guy's horrible. I mean, and the way he treats women and human beings in general. And just like the way you sit, you're like, oh, let me just watch him over here as Magam Mike. This is from the same state regime media appearance. And he's like, you know, on any day, there's like one or two people who may be frustrated, but overwhelmingly, we are united on the issues. Here, play this clip right

here. So how are you going to keep your party in line when you have a minuscule majority? Well, this is what we do every day. We have one of the smallest margins in U.S. history. There's 220 House Republicans. And on any given day, two or three or four people may be upset or frustrated about something. They didn't get all their preferences or they have different ideas. The media, the way it works on Capitol Hill, as you know, is they zero in on a couple of voices, and they try to amplify it to divide the Republican Party. Because if we stay unified, there is absolutely nothing that we can't achieve. But we've already demonstrated that at this Congress.

We've had one of the most productive Congresses in the history of the institution. Yes, and Marjorie Taylor Green was on 60 minutes saying that Maga Mike and Donald Trump, we're covering up the Epstein files and told her, if these come out, it's going to hurt people. if these files get out it will hurt people they're covering up for the rich and powerful men including donald trump that's what mag and mike means when he says that it's creating a new class of victims these are sick people let's just take a look at how thomas massey and others are talking about what's going on on the hill right now this clip missing an action in a lot of ways the house is not in the driver's seat when it comes to to key policy areas you have a lot of it's intelligent hardworking people

who gave up a lot of things to be here in Congress, only to find out that all they get to do is come here and rubber stamp whatever Donald Trump wants. Nobody wants to be a rubber stamp. You could get a monkey to do this job. Well, Maga Mike, he was asking Capitol Hill before the weekend. And there seems to be a lot of gender issues in the Republican caucus right now. And Republican women are seen particularly disgusted by you.

What do you make of that Maga Mike play this clip? I think it's a spurrilous claim. I think there's no foundation in it whatsoever. You know, people get frustrated. People say things. There's no gender division here at all in our conference. It's a meritocracy, and we've got great women doing great things. I'm their biggest champion, and that's what the record shows.

Also, it should be noted that Maga Mike swore in Matt Van Epps, the new congressman from Tennessee, two days under 48 hours, unlike Adelita Grie Halva from Arizona's 7th Congressional District, who had to wait over 50 days. That's just how Maga Mike, the difference between how Maga Mike treats men, women, white men, Latino women, Latinos. That's Mega Mike. It's Maga Mike for you.

Here was the great scoop from MS now. Mike Johnson secretly worked to tank a provision to mandate IVF coverage for active duty service members from the defense reauthorization bill. That's what they're focused on. stopping service members from getting IVF and the rest of us as well

but service members particularly Senator Jeff Merkley explains Mike Johnson wants to quietly gut IVF access for our troops too bad the whole damn world should know that Republicans want service members and veterans to give up their dreams of having a family

the whole damn world should know that Republicans want them to that's disgusting the GOP says they support IVF actions speak louder than words here's just so you see here's what Maga Mike this was when Maga Mike was first becoming speaker when he was

interviewed for Fox and they said so you want total abortion bans and you want to you want to stop IVF because you believe that's murder right here play this clip. He wants a total abortion ban with no exceptions. He supported bans that would not only criminalize abortion but ban IVF treatments

and common forms of birth control and that you voted against access to contraception. Where are you on on these issues? Is that an accurate assessment of where you are? Because that's not in step with the American people? No, Shannon, look, I'm pro-life. I've said very clearly, I'm a Bible-believing Christian. I believe in the sanctity of every single human life. So I come to Congress with deep personally held conviction. And here he's asked again, do you see the standard IVF practice as murder? Here's what he has to say. But there's this question of embryos. In the process,

they are destroyed, disposed of. If you believe life begins at conception, fertilization, and I know you do, do you see that as murder? It's something that we've got to grapple with. You know, it's a brave new world. IBF's only been invented, I think, in the early 70s. And finally, I'll just show you this clip because to me, this sums up how despicable this guy is. This was during the government shutdown where he said that he had a plan,

that he had a health care plan that he would show us right after the government shut down. Like, we know their frauds. Like, we know it. So it's not like, it's like, I'm sure you're like, Ben, tell me something I don't know. Like, we know that Maga Mike is a fraud. I get it. it. But it's so cruel and unusual that the way he looks in the camera, he's like, yes, yes, absolutely. We've got to, yes, yes, dude, you're the worst liar and it's so cruel here, play

this clip. Is it the government reopened tonight? Would Republicans have a plan to address the Obamacare subsidies? Yes. Yes. Yes, we did. We have proposals to, yeah, we could have that ready immediately. Yes. There you have it, folks. Maga mic for you. Maga mic for you. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
