His speakership could end sooner than even he expected, before the midterms. And that could go down today, depending on the results of the special election in Tennessee, whether a Democrat will pull off a massive upset and whether that will cause other MAGA Republican Congress members to resign. And we're hearing that other resignations are imminent. A reminder, make sure you subscribe to this YouTube channel if you like our fact based reporting leading the way of independent news. You may think you're subscribed, but you may not be. So hit the subscribe button right now. So MAGA Mike Johnson, while he's been panicking about this special election in Tennessee's 7th congressional district set to take place today, he rushes to Tennessee. And while he rushes to Tennessee to go to the 7th congressional district, he's wearing a Trump Pence jacket that says 47 on the side of it. And he comes with his cell phone and he's like, everybody here, I want you to listen to what Donald Trump has to say. So just to remind you, this race in Tennessee features a MAGA Republican candidate by the name of Matt Vanepes. He's MAGA through and through, and he wants to be the decisive vote to push through more of Donald Trump's destructive agenda. Fascist agenda. On the other hand, you have the Democratic candidate, the Tennessee state state Representative Afton Bain, and she's running on a pro democracy affordability platform. So Donald Trump is too scared to show up in the district for fear of getting booed. So he has MAGA Mike go there wearing basically like a Trump jersey. He's wearing a Trump Pence outfit. Then he goes into a safe space, like a very small room. No big crowds like Afton Bain, the Democratic candidate, is drawn and, and he picks up his cell phone. He's like, everybody listen to me. I have Donald on the phone. And then Donald Trump just starts like foaming at the mouth and he's like, afton Bain, she hates country music. She hates Christianity, right? Maga Mike, she hates these things. I want you to watch this. And Mag and Mike just sits there, stands there just like obedient and dutifully listen to Donald. Listen to Donald, by the way, reminder, make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel here, play this clip of Maga Mike. Remember, he's got a majority of three, a majority of three, and there aren't many people to do that, but we have to win this seat. We've gotten you the largest tax cuts in history. And the new bill, the great big beautiful bill, kicks in, as you know, on January 1st, hasn't even kicked in yet. And then you have no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime. If you borrow money to buy a car, you get a deduction. That's never happened before. All these things kick in on January 1st. A lot of people don't know. They said, oh, they already kicked in. I said, no, it doesn't start until January 1st. So that was the first date. I just want to thank everybody. I love Tennessee, one of my all time favorite places. Tennessee, I guess loves me because we won by the biggest margins anybody's ever won by. So that's cool. But if you can go Matt Van Epps, he's a winner. He's going to be great. Don't let this stuff for you. The Democrats are spending a fortune and we don't want people that want to raise your taxes. She wants to raise your taxes on top of everything else. But she said two things above all else that bothered me. Number one, she hates Christianity. Number two, she hates country music. Now, while MAGA Mike was doing that in Tennessee, you had the White House being asked by the press during a brief do you think that Maga Mike is gonna lose that speakership? Do you think that the MAGA Republicans are gonna have more resignations either before the midterms or you just think the MAGA Republicans are gonna get wiped out in a blue tsunami come the midterms? Watch what Caroline Levitt, Trump's chief propagandist, has to say. Maga Mike, we know why you're scared. It's because of this. Let's play this clip, the red tie. Thank you, Caroline. Okay, Andrew, go ahead. And then you, in wake of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor, go ahead. Office early res last week indicated that other House Republicans might consider doing the same. Does the President have any concerns in light of those reports about other House Republicans potentially leaving early as well as the other announced retirements that we saw in the last couple of days? Look, I think the President maintains very good relationships with the vast majority. Maybe with the exception of one or two, I think many in this room know who I'm referring to. Very good relationships with members of Capitol Hill within the Republican Party. And the President clearly is the unequivocal leader of the Republican Party. I think it was a recent CNN poll that actually showed that more than 90% of Republicans continue to support President Trump as the leader. So he maintains very good relations, as does his entire team here at the White House. And of course, we have a very slim margin in the House. And the President wants that to continue. Andrew, go ahead. Sure. First one defense minister, then Magamike was giving interviews throughout the day in Tennessee, like he talked on or he spoke to. Super Talk 99.7 WTN. And he goes, here's the thing about Van Epps. He will be the deciding vote on Trump's agenda. So if you want to continue Trump's agenda before the midterms, you gotta put in Van Epps. Well, that should scare the crap out of people in Tennessee who are suffering from the tariffs, the farmers who are getting screwed over, the people whose healthcare is being ripped away, the people who need to go to rural hospitals. And seeing that those are threatening to be shut down, here's what MAGA Mike says on the radio. Here, play this clip right here. There's no question on many key votes coming up over the next several months, Matt Van Epps will be the hero. I mean, he will be the deciding vote. There's no question about it. And it will make all the difference for the entire country. Now here's Magamike on stage right here. And Matt Van Epps post this. And he's just like. And what you all need to know is that Matt Van Epps is a really good papa. He's a really good father. Here, play this clip. This candidate is one of the best that has ever run. I'm not kidding. Because he has a servant's heart. You know, he's a dedicated husband and father, really. He's such a good father that he would be part of the ppp, the pedo protection program, covering up the child sex trafficking. Matt Van Epstein said that he would continue Trump regime's policies regarding the Epstein files, whatever the Trump regime wants to do. Matt Van Epso. Did I call him Matt Van Epstein? Matt Van Epps would do whatever the Trump regime wants to do. Let me show you what Afton Bain had to say after Donald Trump, I guess, spoke to that tiny, the teeny tiny crowd with Maga Mike holding up the phone. She goes, I guess I'm living rent free in his head. Here, play this clip right here. I think we're so close. I think this race is a lot closer than they would have ever expected. Clearly I'm living rent free in President Trump's mind. But, sir, I'm a four foot, like five foot four blonde in the south, just trying to make my community better. But okay, you do you. And when we win tomorrow night, it will send a message to Washington that we are fed up and we are tired of all of this and we deserve representation. They cut up our congressional district into three and it's backfiring and now here we are and we're gonna flip a congressional district in this out. So thank you so much, very honored to be part of this with you all. I'm just, I'm so overwhelmed with gratitude, I can't even get to tell you. So tonight we've got a rally with Representative Alexandria Ocasio Corp and Tennessee legend Al Gore. Now let's talk about some of the other surrogates that are joining Maga Mike and trying to push Matt Van Epstein, Matt Van Epps. In this special election, you have the MAGA Republican congressman from Tennessee's 6th congressional district, a neighbor to the 7th congressional district, John Rose. So he and MAGA Mike made this weird video. Play this clip right here. Good evening. I'm John Rose and I'm here with Scott golden, our state party Chairman, Mike Johnson, speaker of the House and the next United States Congressman from the 7th district of Tennessee, Matt Van Epps. And we're here to tell all of you Tennessee voters tonight to come out tomorrow. Let's send Matt Van Epps across the finish line with a great victory. Speaker, what do you have to say about that? Every single vote is going to count. This is a special election. They really are special animals. It's off season and it's during a holiday. So people are going to take, take for granted that our Republican conservative is going to win. We need a conservative in this district because it is a conservative district. But you cannot take it for granted. So every single vote counts. Please vote. Bring your friends, your neighbors, your friends from church. It's really going to matter this time. And then John Rose went on state regime. Media, which calls itself Fox, went on their quote unquote business channel quotes are doing a lot of work there. And John Rose says, look, people of Tennessee are thriving. The country's doing great. Everybody seeing prices go down. So this is the message. Magnum, Mike, John Rose, maga Republicans are pushing in Tennessee. Here, play this clip. Costs, the cost of living are coming down. This Thanksgiving was less expensive than last Thanksgiving. So we just have to have the patience to see these policies through to fruition. We're starting to see that happen. When we get to January 1st and we see many of the one big beautiful law, tax cuts start to come into play in a more real way for Americans, I think they're going to start to see the real hit in their pocketbook. And we see wages up in a dramatic way for the first time in a generation and since the last time when Trump was in office. So I think the answer's on the way. Christmas parties, holiday dinners, late night gift wrapping with a glass of eggnog. It's the season for celebration. Just don't forget the Zebiotics Pre Alcohol Probiotic drink. Zebiotics Pre Alcohol Probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Look, I won't lie. I was a little bit on the fence about giving pre alcohol a try initially, but then while hanging out with some friends over at a wedding, I gave it a shot. And believe me, it's the real deal. Make the most of every toast this holiday season. Just don't forget to bring pre Alcohol along for the ride. Go to zebiotics.com smytus to learn more and get 15% off your first order.

John Entin describes What the Gallup poll has to say about this. Here, play this clip right here. I mean, it's a disaster if it holds towards the midterm elections. And I should note, of course, it's not alone. I mean, just take a look here. This is Gallup. This the longest running poll. You know, Gallup has been conducting polls since my father was a kid, and my father was born in 1927. Had me in the 60s. Look at this. In January, Donald Trump's not approving. Not too bad, not too great. It was at minus one point, Right within the margin of error, break and even. But look at this now. Negative 24 points. Way, way down. We're talking about a drop of over 20 points in the wrong direction for the president. United States minus 24 points. That's a 23 point move in the incorrect direction if you're the president. And of course, what's so important here, Sarah Seidner, is it matches the trend that we've seen with other polls. That is Donald Trump hitting his low for the second term. I was doing the count last night. I think we're up to 10 polls in sort of the last 40 days. 10 different pollsters who have said that Trump is at the lowest point. He is in his second term. So how does this compare to other presidents in their second term at this point in time? Yeah, okay. So, you know, this is one of these great examples where I kind of run out of room on the slide. So I just did. Yeah, I run out of room on the side. So I just put up the. Put up the Republican presidents. But look, the only one who's worse for me, either among Republicans or Democrats at this point, a second term, is Richard Nixon. Of course, Richard Nixon had to wave adios, amigos goodbye. Less than a year after this poll was taken. He was at minus 36 points. Trump at minus 24 points. That beats, or is worse, I should say beats in the wrong direction. George W. Bush, -19 points. His Republican Party, of course, suffered major losses in the 2006 midterm elections. Dwight Eisenhower, plus 31 points. Donald Trump has never smelt that at all. I had to go into the archives to pick up that photo. And Ronald Reagan at plus 41 points. But again, it also is worse than Harry S. Truman. It's worse than Lyndon Baines Johnson. It's worse than Barack Obama. It's worse than Bill Clinton. Anywhere you look. This is the second worst for a president of either party at this point in their second term, dating all the way back since the 1940s. And here was the segment that they were running on CNN about how this congressional district that was supposed to be a safe congressional district for Republicans, a plus 22 Trump district. The Republicans now fear that they can lose this as the net as the race is neck and neck right now. Here, play this clip right here. Cue the election music. Yes, the CNN Election Jam tomorrow night, one last special House election is the final chance this year for Democrats to prove that their momentum is no fluke, as Republicans are now fending off a potential upset in what's usually a very reliably red district. It includes parts of Nashville, Tennessee. CNN's Eva McCann is on the ground in these final hours of campaigning in this special House race. A special election Tuesday in a heavily Republican congressional district in Tennessee is emerging as an unlikely political battleground, with Democrats eyeing an upset. I don't care who you voted for. I don't care what political party you belong to, but if you are upset about the cost of living in the chaos of Washington, then I'm your candidate. Democrat Afton Bain, a state representative and progressive organizer, is centering her campaign on affordability, seeking to harness the party's momentum after big wins in Virginia and New Jersey last month. But in a district that Donald Trump carried by 22 points last year, Republican Matt Van Epps, a former army helicopter pilot running with the president's endorsement, is seen as the favorite, even as both parties expect a closer result. We need all Republicans in the Tennessee 7th congressional district to put on their jersey, get on the field and get out and vote for us. The 7th district is largely rural, including parts of Nashville, but stretching from the state's border with Kentucky in the north to Alabama in the South. The election here drawing national attention, with Trump holding a virtual rally today for Van Epps and House Speaker Mike Johnson joining the Republican nominee on the trail. Bain is receiving help from the party's leaders, such as progressive Congresswoman Alexandria o', Conn Ocasio Cortez and former Vice President Kamala Harris. Since the primary last month, more than $5 million has been spent on advertising in the race, fueled by outside groups, with Republicans accounting for more than 3 million and Democrats about 2.1 million. By the way, one of the other MAGA Republicans from Tennessee who's standing up there with MAGA Mike and John Rose with Matt Van Epstein is a guy named Tim Burchett. Tim Burchett was asked during the government shutdown if should be in session. Here's what Tim Burchett said. Here, play this clip. Congressman Burchett you want to respond to that? I mean, how about the House being in session? Should they be in session right now? No, it's just going to allow the Democrats to, to respond to every question with something trashing Republicans. Look, the House did its work. We kept the gut, we kept the government open. It's up to Chuck Schumer. All he's doing is looking in his rearview mirror and he sees Alexandria Ocasio Cortez in the far left. He sees New York City going to a Marxist, communist, anti Semitic candidate for mayor and he knows he's lost that base. And Tim Burchette said, do you believe anything about what the DOJ is saying about the Epstein files? And here's what Tim Burchett said. Here, play this clip. I was the one that urged the chairman in the committee and move forward the subpoena. Ghislaine Maxwell. I think we need to get to the bottom of it and I think President Trump wants to get to the bottom of it. And you know good and well if Trump was on any of those fights files, anything that was bad and negative towards him, the Biden administration would have put it out. They had it for four years. Trump knows, you know, knew this guy and he said he was a dirtbag. He banned him from marijuana over 15 years ago before he was suicided. So I just think this thing is a bad situation. And I don't know if we'll ever get to the bottom of it because I don't trust the Biden administration because they had those files for four years. I don't know what they removed or doctored are changed. I don't trust him as far as I could throw the dome off the Capitol, brother and dad gamut. We need to get to the bottom. That's why people, when you delay these things, it just allows the corruption to creep in. And I'm thinking that, I think that's what has happened now. And now it should also be noted that recently Maga Mike was very worried about losing the majority. What he fears and what Trump fears is that impeachment is coming for Donald Trump and someone like Matt Van Epstein would try to stop the impeachment. Here, play this clip of MAGA Mike. Play this clip. The president is on the ballot in 2026. President Trump is on the ballot next fall. Because if we lose the majority, if the Republicans, the common sense people here who are doing the job for the American people, if we lose the majority in the House and this radical element of the Democrat Party, we're able to Take over. We've already seen that movie. They will try to end the Trump administration. He won't have four years, he'll have only two, because they will move to impeach him probably on the first day of the new Congress in January 2027. And they will try to systematically unwind all the important reforms that we've done for the American people to lower cost, to have a better quality of living, on health care, to increase access and quality of care. We are the party that is doing that. And the president needs four years to complete his agenda, not just two. So he is, in a very real sense, on the ballot. He's fiercely committed to us winning. He is going to help. He's offered to do rallies and the teletown halls and all the things. He's sent out a huge round of endorsements of incumbents, Republican incumbents, just over the last few days. He is very much engaged, very dialed in, and he understands the stakes. President Trump is on the ballot in 2026, and we're looking forward to that contest. And here is also what Afton Bain had to say when she was asked about, you know, Donald Trump and MAGA Mike are calling you the AOC of Tennessee. What do you have to say about that? Here, play this clip right here. And tomorrow, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is holding a tele rally for you. Are you in line with her ideologically? Like I said, I think that there is a strain of the Democratic Party that cares about holding corporations accountable and lowering costs for working families. And my politics are one of an alignment of that. I've been as a state legislator, I've worked to eliminate Tennessee's regressive grocery tax. As an organizer, I work to make health care more affordable in the state of Tennessee. And so I think those are the Democratic leaders and candidates that I really resonate with are those that are trying to lower costs for working families. Yeah, because Trump has been calling you, quote, the AOC of Tennessee. So, I mean, aren't you just feeding into that narrative by appearing with her? Like I said, we're really grateful for the support across the political spectrum. And if you. And for your listeners, the teletown hall also features former Vice President Al Gore, who is a Tennessee legend. So I look at it as iconic that you have, you know, Democrats from all political stripes joining in on this moment and saying, you know, we are standing up to what is happening in Washington and we want to be part of the solution rather than the problem. Well, there you have it, folks. We'll keep you posted every step of the way of this race. This is a big one folks. And reminder, make sure you hit subscribe.
