Hey, who's driving? I've only had four. Where are we going now?
What do you mean, what do you mean? What do you mean, what do you mean? What do you mean, what do you mean? The reason for the return is the regular check-up of the nursing home. There has been a little cramp in the knee and back. The rapid balance of the season forces a warm working community and important work. The state of health is good for a long time. The whole family is in good shape. You could even say that he is as healthy as a priest. We focus on health, so that Santa can focus on the most important things. Terveystalo is Santa's official work health partner.
Donald Trump and Maga Mike Johnson are panicking over the news that 20 Republican Congress members may be resigning in the very near future. That was reported by Puck, but before that we had heard rumblings and we reported on that. And then you heard from Punchbowl News that they were hearing it. And now this seems to be fairly imminent that this is going to be taking place. So Donald Trump was asked a pretty basic question during this bizarre press conference that he held. So what do you make of these 20 House Republicans, or maybe more, who are threatening to resign because they really can't stand you right now, and they can't stand working in this loser House of Representatives run by MAGA Mike Johnson?
Trump just gets enraged and attacks the reporter. Here, play this clip.
And I just have a quick question. There's at least 20 House Republicans who have either said they're going to retire or not run again. And Democrats also. And Democrats also. But why don't you mention them? How many Democrats are going to retire? How many Democrats? Well, that's what I was going to ask you. Why don't you tell me the number of Democrats, too? Are you concerned about the narrow margins? No, I'm not concerned. I think we're going to do well. We will have the greatest economy. We're going to have the greatest economy in history. How many Democrats are retiring? How come you only know the Republicans but not the Democrats? Because I came prepared to ask you a question about... No, no, you're unprepared because you should know the Democrats.
You're totally unprepared. Go ahead. Well, can I ask a quick follow-up about... Who are you with? Who are you with? I'm with New York Newsday, and I also have a quick follow-up.
Wow. I mean, that's... there was more bizarre moments where he attacked an abc reporter during that and this follows trump going on a rampage in the morning calling marjorie taylor greene marjorie trader brown after knowing that she was receiving death threats as a result of his comments and he said that marjorie trader brown went on CBS, and then he attacked the CBS coverage for her going on 60 Minutes. And on 60 Minutes, Marjorie Taylor Greene talked about how behind Donald Trump's back, all of these MAGAs make fun of him and mock him and really hate him and despise him, but pretend that they like him. Meanwhile, MAGA Mike Johnson still claims that things are going amazing. Here, play this clip.
If we stay unified, there is absolutely nothing that we can't achieve, and 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?
So utterly pathetic. I want to bring in former Democratic Congressmember Colin Allred, who just announced on Monday that he would be running for the newly created 33rd Congressional District, which encompasses Dallas County in Texas. Now, Congressmember Allred was first running for that Senate seat. It was clear it became incredibly overcrowded and noisy. And you put out a statement In light of all of these issues there that are happening, your time was best spent running for the seat, which is in an area that you previously represented before a prior Senate run. And of course, we know that Trump and Abbott have been working very hard to rig these Texas maps with a gerrymander on top of a gerrymander that the Supreme Court apparently says is fine, despite a Trump appointed judge saying it's an incredibly racist map.
