What triggered the latest MAGA Mike Johnson panic in public?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Uh-oh, MAGA Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House, it seems like he was just hit by an avalanche of nightmare news, and he's not handling it well. I want you to watch just his response to what took place in the past 24 or 12 hours even or so. So MAGA Mike got hit with the news that these 20,000 emails of Jeffrey Epstein were released and no MAGA Mike, no one's cherry picking. The more you look through that batch of 20,000 Epstein emails, the more devastating it is for Donald Trump. I mean, horrific, horrific stuff that we've covered in detail here on the Midas Touch Network. And then Of course, the discharge petition was signed by Adelita Grijalva, the 218th signature. That means the Epstein file release will go for a vote before the full House of Representatives and Maga Mike's.
Ben Meiselas 0:56
gonna have to put it up for a vote and now we're learning there could be as much as 30 40 perhaps even 50 defections of mega republicans who will now be voting with the democrats to release the epstein files yeah the 20 000 emails that were released yesterday are not the files as devastating damaging catastrophic for trump those emails are That's not even the worst stuff. The worst stuff is in the files. And there's terabytes and terabytes of documents. And MAGA Mike is terrified and terrified of the terabytes and the terabytes. Just watch MAGA Mike yesterday. Let me just show you a few of these clips. So you have MAGA Mike. He's like, all right, all right. But look, we've been very productive. Isn't this Congress the most productive?
Ben Meiselas 1:45
productive Congress ever. Aren't we so productive? Dude, you haven't even worked. You sent people on vacation for like the last 100 days. You've worked 12 of the last 100 days. But go ahead, Maga Mike, you think we're going to get distracted by your work ethic?
Mike Johnson 2:02
Here, play this clip. We're going to deliver for the American people as we have been doing.

How did the newly released 20,000 Epstein emails shift the story about Trump?

Mike Johnson 2:06
I'll leave you with this thought. There's a split screen in America right now. There's a split screen. On one side of the screen, you have President Trump and the Republican majorities in the Congress and the Senate and the House doing the work for the American people. Look what we've achieved in the first 10 months of this year. You can make an argument that it's the most productive season for a new Congress and a new presidency, a new administration, at least in the modern era, maybe of all time.
Ben Meiselas 2:29
And then Maga Mike's like, look, look, look, in response to a question about, you said you wanted full transparency. So why did you have to force Thomas Massey, Republican and Democratic Congress member Ro Khanna to even do this discharge petition? Why not bring this for a vote in the first place? And Maga Mike, this guy's such a scumbag. He's such a liar. He's like, okay, okay, look, look, look, look. We did it for the victims. The way the discharge petition read, it hurts the victim.

Why did a discharge petition reach 218 signatures and what does that mean?

Ben Meiselas 2:56
So we're just trying to save the victims. No, you are covering up for a child sex trafficking ring, the PPP, the Pedo Protection Program, and you are complicit. So you can hold up that Bible of yours, but we all know what you are doing, Maga Mike. Here, play this clip.
Thank you for asking the question.
Mike Johnson 3:30
We have been for maximum transparency of the Epstein files from the very beginning. What I was opposed to is the reckless disregard that was used in drafting the discharge petition. And we've been over this many times, but it was not drafted in such a way that it would adequately protect innocent victims. We have a responsibility to do that. There's as many as a thousand women, by some estimates. of people who have been victimized because of the sex trafficking and Epstein and all these horrendous, heinous crimes, and we can't have them subjected to any further harm. So we wanted to make sure that they were properly, those names were properly redacted out of the files. But the discharge petition is not only reckless, it is also a totally moot point.
Mike Johnson 4:10
The Oversight Committee has been working, as you all know, around the clock working on this.
