Chapter 1: What signs indicate that MAGA Mike Johnson is cracking under pressure?
MAGA Mike Johnson is visibly cracking in public right now as Donald Trump's disastrous and unlawful war in Iran continues to escalate, bringing Trump and the entire MAGA Republican Party down. Sadly, also bringing the United States down as well. MAGA Mike Johnson is
in desperation posting photographs at the dignified transfer with soldiers whose bodies are being returned in coffins draped with the American flag. Maga Mike is trying to score cheap political points by acting like he supports our troops when in fact he supports this unlawful and unjustified war in Iran now.
The family members of those soldiers who are returning now to their final resting place here in the United States, who were sent to their deaths by the despicable Trump regime, these family members of these heroes. specifically requested that there not be any media at all present.
They saw that the last time there was a dignified transfer, Donald Trump wore his campaign hat and started posting fundraising emails using the photos of the caskets to raise money for Donald Trump's political action committee. So the family member said, please,
no cameras no videos this is a solemn ceremony for us please do not photograph and video and post this on social media so what does donald trump and mega mike johnson do they videotape it they post it on social media here are photographs of maga mike johnson donald trump pete hegseth as posted by maga mike johnson and maga mike johnson republican speaker of the house post
Today, I had the solemn honor of attending the dignified transfer of six American heroes who gave their lives in selfless service to our nation. Freedom is never free. It is carried on the shoulders of the brave. We will never forget their courage and sacrifice. Our prayers and hearts are with their families. Spare your prayer and heart, Maga Mike.
You don't have a heart and your prayers are fake. This is an unlawful and unjustified war. And don't you try to drape this in some patriotism to rally more Americans to their deaths in Iran. When Iran never posed an imminent threat and there should not have been this unlawful invasion.
And you should have respected, you should have respected what the family members said, which is do not post this on social media. Then MAGA Mike Johnson goes on Sean Hannity to talk about it. He goes on state regime media to then spread more of his propaganda. And MAGA Mike says, here's what we need to know, Hannity. Donald Trump is a man of his own mind.
So he's going to make the best decisions of his own mind when it comes to potentially escalating things in Iran by now adding thousands of ground troops, because that's the latest thing that the Trump regime is talking about. Thousands of ground troops in Iran. Watch Maga Mike. Look at him. Sweaty, shiny fist. Look at him crack here. Play this clip. All right.

Chapter 2: How is MAGA Mike using media to navigate the fallout from the Iran war?
That's right. We appreciate. You're exactly right. And he's restoring peace through strength. And America is better for it. And so is the all other free world. More from MAGA Mike. And again, look at him. I don't know if they Botox the hell out of his face or what is even going on right here. But then MAGA Mike starts attacking Joe Kent, who is a MAGA darling.
Joe Kent was like one of the top security intelligence officials in the Trump regime who resigned two days ago because he He believed the war in Iran was unlawful and he saw the intelligence and he said, none of the intelligence I saw justifies a war in Iran. And you have MAGA Mike attacking Joe Kent and also MAGA Mike implying that we're looking into what's going on with Joe Kent.
Right around this time period, we learned that the Trump regime was likely launching criminal investigations into Joe Kent for purportedly leaking information. and that Joe Kent is now under investigation because he spoke out against the Iran war. Let me be clear, Joe Kent, not a good guy, bad guy, far right-wing extremist, ultra MAGA guy, but even he's like, this war is unlawful, and he quit.
Here's what sweaty MAGA Mike has to say. Here, play this clip. How is that not an imminent threat? Yeah, that's a great question. I'm not sure what Joe Kent is reading, but it's not the same intel that I've seen. Look, I'm on the Gang of Eight. We got all the briefings before this operation in Iran began. We got briefings during and then after it commenced. And the intelligence was exquisite.
It was very clear this was an imminent threat to the United States and America's interest. And the commander in chief did exactly the right thing. He had to protect American lives. We knew that those ballistic missiles that they were stockpiling and preparing were going to be fired at our troops and our civilians and our installations in the region.
And so the commander in chief did what he had to do.

Chapter 3: What do family members of fallen soldiers request regarding media coverage?
Joe Kent seemed to understand that until about 24 hours ago. I'm not sure what happened there. There's lots of discussion about it on Capitol Hill, as you can Imagine we're trying to get down to the bottom of it, but he is an outlier.
I'm telling you, as we noted earlier, Bongino and others have said everyone else in the administration and everyone who sees the actual intelligence understands clearly that the president did what he had to do. And the day before that, Meg and Mike kept on saying it's promises made, promises kept. This has been the greatest administration ever. Here, play this clip.
It truly is promises made and promises kept. I've made the case that the first year of the Trump administration was arguably the most productive and successful in at least the modern era. I think one of the top five in the history of Congress, and I'm a student of all this, because of all the substance and the big things that we passed and got it signed into law. More for Meg and Mike right here.
He's asked, what does Donald Trump mean that the war will end when he feels it in his bones? Here's what MAGA Mike says. Let's play it. President Trump recently has said that the war in Iran will be over when he feels it in my bones. What does he mean by that? Well, I think his bones are informed by the intelligence.
OK, so so look, it's the commander in chief, whomever is the president, whomever is commander in chief under our constitutional system is given a broad amount of latitude.

Chapter 4: How is MAGA Mike responding to criticism about the Iran war?
What are you talking about? And our economy is getting rocked right now. Our economy is getting beaten and battered right now. Here, play this clip. But the fact is that the U.S. economy is fundamentally sound and that if it were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the U.S. economy very much at all.
It would hurt consumers and we'd have to think about, you know, if that continued, what we would have to do about that. But that's like really the last of our concerns right now because we're very confident that this thing is going ahead of schedule. And just so you can all hear what Joe Kent said that has MAGA Mike freaking out as well, play this clip. We knew not that Iran was going to attack.
He did not say that. He said, we knew that Israel was going to attack Iran and in retaliation for those attacks by Israel against Iran, Iran might attack American forces So the imminent threat that the Secretary of State is describing is not from Iran, it's from Israel. Exactly. And I think this speaks to the broader issue. Who is in charge of our policy in the Middle East?
Who is in charge of when we decide to go to war or not? In this case, with what the Secretary described, and later on the President, later on the Speaker of the House, and the way the events played out, The Israelis drove the decision to take this action, which we knew would set off a series of events, meaning the Iranians would retaliate.
Now, I think there's a potential there where we could have done several different things. We could have simply said to the Israelis, no, you will not. And if you do, then we will take something away from you. I think that it's fine that we offer defense to Israel.
But when we're providing the means for their defense, we get to dictate the terms of when they go on the offensive, otherwise they stand to lose that relationship. And the Israelis felt emboldened that no matter what they did, no matter what situation they put us in, that they could go ahead and take this action. And here's one more clip of Joe Kent that you can hear for yourself. Play it.
What's our strategic goal in a war that's going to have ramifications for our nation, for the region, for global energy supplies? I think most folks right now at the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies, they would say, us and the Israelis actually have a different objective here. I don't believe that our objective has been clearly defined because we're shying away from regime change.
The Israelis are not shying away from regime change. They want to knock out lock, stock, and barrel the current government. They don't seem to have a plan for what comes next. There you have it, folks. MAGA Mike. Nervous, panicked, likely losing his job soon. What a despicable place in history. I mean, what a despicable person, huh? Anyway, let me know what you think.
