Tulosyy, Terveystalon määräaikaistarkastus. Välillä kipua hartioissa, sormissa puutumisoireita. Asiakas kertoo tekevänsä kausiluonteista tiimityötä pakkauslinjastolla, ajoittain epäergonomisissa asennoissa. Pitkän työkokemuksen myötä löytänyt kuitenkin toimivattavat tonttuilla, vielä seuraavatkin sata vuotta. Me keskitymme terveyteen, jotta tonttut voivat keskittyä tärkeimpään. Terveystalo on Joulupukin virallinen työterveyskumppani. Fortum presents. Six-year-old Ada plays her favorite song. Not funny, but let's add a little energy. Yeah! We all have it. Northern energy. Courage to keep up and develop. Wherever you go, Fortum brings energy and knowledge to your life. Fortum.
MAGA Mike Johnson is spiraling out of control as it becomes increasingly possible he can lose his speakership. We've been reporting how lots of other MAGA Republican Congress members are threatening to resign. They've had enough of MAGA Mike. They've had enough of Donald Trump, and they want to leave the same way Marjorie Taylor Greene left. By the way, just as Kevin McCarthy went on Fox and said that he believed that Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation was, quote, the canary in the coal mine, a warning that more MAGA Republican Congress members are about to go and Maga Mike better do something or he's about to lose his speakership. So what does Maga Mike do? Well, he goes on Stephen Miller's Wife's Podcast, which as of the time I'm recording this, it got about 233 views.
But I will tell you what happens as Maga Mike literally loses it. Like the guy is losing his mind. So he's there with his wife and then he starts doing like weird dance moves to pretend he's cool. Here, let me show you this. Here, play this clip.
You know who Jolly Roll is?
Do I? Yes, we have selfies together. Right, so then he's there with his wife, Kelly Johnson, and here's what he talks about over here about being speaker. Let's just play this clip.
Probably no downtime.
Yeah.
Hardly any downtime for me. Just...
No, that's right. I mean, even when you think, like, the work of the day is done and you put the phone down, I mean, this would be 11.30 at night. Ring, ring, what? Another crisis, you know, I mean, you're sort of like a firefighter in a way. You have to put out fires every, you know, every hour.
And there's more from MAGA Mike and his wife right here. And he tries to say, like, the Democratic shutdown, it's all of their fault. Here, play this clip.
It is such an all-encompassing role because you're in charge of not just the policy and legislative side, but it's the fundraising, the politics, the member management, you know, all the various aspects. And it is a... I mean, somebody asked me the other day, we were accused when we were out of session when the Democrats closed the government down a couple weeks ago. Hakeem Jeffries is a Democrat leader in the House, and he was out saying Speaker Johnson put the House on vacation. And I thought it was laughable. And I was on Fox News Sunday last weekend, and Shannon Bream asked about that. I said, that's funny. I haven't had a vacation day in two years. I haven't been off in two years, literally. So it really does.
Maybe Christmas Day.
Not Christmas Day, but even then. Even then. Last Christmas, I was taking calls from members with their...
How is Speaker Mike Johnson portrayed as 'spiraling' in early coverage of the House GOP turmoil?
drama you know so i mean that's part of it we accept the responsibility it's first season of life it's not forever but it it is it takes everything out of whomever serves in a position and by extension their family so we're blessed to have a close-knit group it's a team effort for sure and you have to feel called to it together
No doubt. And it's a true honor, though. It is difficult, but it is an honor to serve our country.
And then Maga Mike here talks about how the process of becoming speaker was very rushed because no one wanted Maga Mike to even be the speaker in the first place. Here, let's play this clip right here.
It all felt very rushed and not something I don't believe you guys prepared for. Oh, no, not at all. In fact, it was such a surprise that I wasn't even here for it.
