Full Episode
MAGA Mike Johnson is fearful, I think, of losing his job if he doesn't dutifully follow the orders from Donald Trump. And the orders from Donald Trump are make sure you don't speak with Democrats, let alone even negotiate with Democrats. It's an interesting development about what's going on in the United States Senate because they're
There are some discussions actually taking place to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies and possibly push forward three of the 2026 appropriation bills. So there is some discussion taking place among senators to figure out how to protect Americans' health care. Some bipartisan conversations taking place.
The issue, though, is that Maga Mike Johnson has said under no circumstance will he even entertain any bipartisan solutions in the Senate that protect the Affordable Care Act subsidies. And Maga Mike's told his members, do not even show up. If you see a Democrat, you don't talk
to them at all because Donald Trump, Maga Mike's dad, he says, you don't talk to them and you don't even negotiate with them. So that's the status. You have Democrats in the Senate trying to work. You have some Republicans in the Senate trying to figure out a solution right now. You've got Democrats in the House saying, let's try to figure this out. Let's talk in the public.
Remember fifth grade government? You know how the parties are supposed to talk to each other. That's the way government's supposed to work. no Kings. And then MAGA Mike's like, nah, we've got a King, whatever Donald Trump says goes. And Donald Trump says, we can't talk to you. So you have MAGA Mike out there going in front of the press and just saying some of the weirdest stuff.
So MAGA Mike went out today. He starts talking about how he hates the no Kings protests. And he goes, this is the Marxist protest. pro Hamas, pro Antifa types, whatever the hell that means. Like you just know how outrageous these statements are from these people. Like the most heinous statements while Americans are suffering.
You have MAGA Mike out there leading a press conference about healthcare being taken away from 20 million Americans. And what MAGA, well, by the way, $20 billion is going to bail out Argentina. And this is what MAGA Mike's saying. It's ridiculous. Here, play this clip.
I mean, the contrast between these parties could not be any more stark. And I encourage you to watch. We call it the Hate America rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you see pro-Hamas supporters. I bet you see Antifa types. I bet you see the Marxists in full display, the people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic.
And we do. And that's what we're here doing every single day.
