MAGA Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House, is terrified and he is showing how terrified he is publicly. 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 it quiet.

134.52 - 147.505 Ben Meiselas

Chapter 2: What is MAGA Mike Johnson's current situation within the GOP?

467.562 - 493.628 Ben Meiselas

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 healthcare, right? This is a serious issue. Maga Mike's like, I wish we could just rip it out from its roots and start over. Hey, Maga Mike, you claim that you had your own plan.

0

494.249 - 512.916 Ben Meiselas

You claim that after the shutdown ended, you would show us your plan. Why would you need to rip something out from us? 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?

0

512.896 - 534.342 Ben Meiselas

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 whine, 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, Maga Mike.

0

534.362 - 538.988 Ben Meiselas

No, for the American people, this is life or death, damn it. Here, play this clip.

has broken, has been since day one. Of course. Do you have the ability to really 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.

Chapter 3: How are MAGA Republicans reacting to Mike Johnson's leadership?

551.287 - 573.079 MAGA Mike Johnson

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 healthcare. So you reform Obamacare if you can.

I'll just show you how some of the other MAGA Republicans are messaging it. Like you have this MAGA Republican propagandist on CNBC named Joe Kiernan, who's like the biggest MAGA jerk. He just like sits, like sits back and is like, hey, everybody, I'm a MAGA guy. Donald Trump. I mean, total clown, this Joe Kiernan guy.

0

673.895 - 696.019 Ben Meiselas

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. 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?

0

696.5 - 698.642 Ben Meiselas

Watch what Jason Smith says. Play this clip.

0

698.622 - 701.506 Jason Smith

There's things that we can do. Is Mike Johnson, is he saying that they have a plan?

701.907 - 702.308 Ben Meiselas

The speaker?

702.768 - 707.115 Jason Smith

Yesterday he said that we're working on a plan. Okay.

707.135 - 708.938 MAGA Mike Johnson

I'm going to Andrew. What do you think, Andrew?

710.099 - 710.38 Jason Smith

You got any?

Chapter 5: What strategies is MAGA Mike using to regain control?

721.403 - 731.805 MAGA Mike Johnson

Well, okay, he's not gonna really say anything. He's just gonna say what he said. Is that what you're saying? You're looking at me saying what he said? Exactly. We got to go, Mr. Chairman.

0

731.825 - 733.147

We hope you come back.

0

733.167 - 754.38 Ben Meiselas

All right. Can I show you some of the recent headlines from 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.

0

754.36 - 777.453 Ben Meiselas

We're gonna 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.

0

778.014 - 805.1 Ben Meiselas

IVF for our own military. Whoa, that's murder, right? I mean, that's who we're dealing with here. That's their view of things. It's crazy. Speaker Johnson struggles to keep control of the House floor. Can Mike Johnson survive until the midterms? Johnson faces growing frustration from Republicans as key issues expose rifts. Speaker Johnson under attack as his own mood darkens in House GOP.

805.501 - 820.366 Ben Meiselas

The revolt of Republican women. Yeah, I mean, because this guy's horrible. I mean, and the way he treats women and human beings in general. And just like the way he sits, he's like, oh, let me just watch him over here. As Maga Mike, this is from that same state regime media appearance.

820.927 - 830.964 Ben Meiselas

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.

831.104 - 847.067 MAGA Mike Johnson

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.

Chapter 6: How does MAGA Mike defend his record on Congress productivity?

847.548 - 865.874 MAGA Mike Johnson

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, and we've already demonstrated that at this Congress. We've had one of the most productive Congresses in the history of the institution.

866.174 - 888.054 Ben Meiselas

Yes, and Marjorie Taylor Greene was on 60 Minutes saying that Meg and Mike and Donald Trump were 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 Maga Mike means when he says that it's creating a new class of victims.

0

888.796 - 897.295 Ben Meiselas

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. Play this clip.

0

897.275 - 902.422 Thomas Massey

Missing in action in a lot of ways. The House is not in the driver's seat when it comes to key policy areas.

0

902.602 - 920.127

You have a lot of 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.

920.225 - 934.724 Ben Meiselas

Well, Maga Mike, he was asked on 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.

935.004 - 950.991 MAGA Mike Johnson

I think it's a spurless 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.

951.038 - 978.105 Ben Meiselas

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 Grijalva 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 Maga Mike. That's Maga Mike for you.

978.586 - 999.915 Ben Meiselas

Here was the great scoop from MSNOW. 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.
