What happened to MAGA Mike Johnson on live TV?
Yesterday was catastrophic for Speaker of the House, MAGA Mike Johnson. He had a cataclysmic, awful, terrible appearance or appearances when he did the Sunday news shows, but also the MAGA Republicans in the Senate. were saying that this budget bill is a disaster. And these Republicans in the Senate said that they were going to block it. So it's going to be interesting to see what MAGA Mike does. Also, MAGA Mike was mumbling and stumbling when he was asked questions on the Sunday shows. He tried to attack the Congressional Budget Office, but we all showed you here on the Midas Touch Network the literal talking points that he was passing out to other MAGA Republicans earlier in the week. He had to admit that he was just straight up attacking his own constituents in Louisiana.
Louisiana has the second most Americans on food stamps, supplemental nutrition assistance program, and they've got millions of people on Medicaid as well, and there's Hundreds of thousands of people on Medicaid in Maga Mike's district who are going to lose their Medicaid. So Maga Mike had to admit during his appearances that he thinks that the people living in his district, mostly we're talking about Republican people because it's a safe Republican district. are fraudsters, are basically all criminals, and that's why they're getting Medicaid and he's going after his own people. Let me break this all down for you because this was a sight to behold. So you had MAGA Republican Senator Rand Paul saying that somebody's got to stand up against this atrocious, ridiculous, horrible budget bill. And then he described Donald Trump and MAGA Mike as the emperors with no clothes. Watch this.
Why are Republican Senators opposing the budget bill?
Somebody has to stand up and yell the emperor has no clothes and everybody's falling in lockstep on this. Pass the big, beautiful bill. Don't question anything. Well, conservatives do need to stand up and have their voice heard. This is a problem we've been facing for decades now. And if we don't stand up on it, I really fear the direction the country is going.
Then you had MAGA Republican Johnson from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, and he says that the budget bill is immoral. It's going to bankrupt America, that he will derail it in the Senate, which is an interesting point. Here, play this clip.
President Trump has suggested that the debt is not really top of mind of his concerns. He wants Republicans to fall in line. He wants Republicans to pass the bill. You told CNN, quote, somebody's got to be the dad that says, I know y'all want to go to Disney World, but we can't afford it. I guess I'm going to be that guy, unquote. So how determined are you to be that guy if it actually means telling President Trump? you are going to vote against the bill and you're going to try to get other Republican senators to join you unless there are major, major changes.
Well, in 2010, I sprang out of the Tea Party movement. And as I did parades, I would shout, this is a fight for freedom. We are mortgaging our children's future. It's wrong. It's immoral. It has to stop. I haven't changed. My campaign promise in 2010 and every campaign after that was to stop mortgaging our children's future. It's immoral. It's wrong. It has to stop.
What accusations did MAGA Mike Johnson face regarding his constituents?
And so he may not be worried about that. I am extremely worried about that. That is my primary goal running for Congress. This is our moment. We've witnessed an unprecedented level of increased spending, 58% since 2019, other than World War II. This is this is our only chance to reset that to a reasonable pre pandemic level spending. And again, I think you can do it. And the spending that we would eliminate people wouldn't even notice. But you have to do the work, which takes time.
Back to Rand Paul. Rand Paul said. I'll tell you how I'm MAGA Republican Rand Paul from Kentucky. He goes, let me just make it very easy for all of, you know, how we know this is going to add at least $4 trillion to the deficit. He goes, they're raising the debt ceiling in the budget bill by $4 trillion.
