Full Episode
Just setting aside the fact that Republicans in the House of Representatives are unable to pass a budget and for years they have not been able to pass a functioning budget, they can't even count. nor can Donald Trump. They can't even count their own numbers. You see, Donald Trump has continued to appoint Republican Congress members to cabinet positions and other senior administration positions.
And now the majority in the House of Representatives by Republicans is the smallest it's ever been. You can take a look at a sample of headlines. House Republicans set for the tiniest House majority since the 1930s. Mike Johnson's new headache, the smallest House majority in history. Mike Johnson's newest headache, the smallest House majority in history.
Analysis, Trump and the GOP will have a historically tiny House majority. What that means, and one of the things that they didn't count or didn't factor in is that Democrats in California were going to flip three additional seats. Three seats that were very close races in California flipped from red to blue in key areas, in the Inland Empire, in Orange County, and in Los Angeles.
Some big flips there. We've covered that here on the Midas Touch Network. So what does that mean for MAGA Mike Johnson, who has been unable to even pass a budget? The Republicans under Kevin McCarthy, unable to pass a budget. Well, now we get headlines like this that talk about how are we headed for another government shutdown? This is from The Hill.
Congress races towards fast approaching government shutdown deadline. And this is with the current House of Representatives. So what they're talking about now on the House is, can they pass another continuing resolution to try to buy time until, say, February or March? in order to keep the government open because they have been unable to pass an actual budget.
That's kind of the most basic constitutional function in Congress, pass a budget. This Congress hasn't done it. So they pass these continuing resolutions. And then MAGA Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, has like split up the continuing resolutions into tiered continuing resolutions.
And then before that, remember when it came to the debt ceiling, the MAGA Republicans were saying, we're not gonna raise the debt ceiling. We're gonna try to torpedo the United States of American economy into the abyss, into a great depression in order to help Donald Trump.
And then remember, they would say, we're not going to pass the next continuing resolution because we're gonna shut down the government. And here's the thing, with all of these efforts by the MAGA Republicans, it has always been always been the Democrats who have voted to bail the MAGA Republicans out and keep the government alive.
Had it not been for the Democratic votes, the MAGA Republicans would have imploded. And look, I understand it's kind of like the F around and find out videos we talk about. On the one hand, the find out stage means We're all going to be experiencing pain and other Americans will feel pain.
