Did you hear that, Speaker Mike Johnson? This is what it looks like when I dig my heels in. Did you hear what was in that spending bill? Vaccine mandates, mask mandates, vaccine passports, expanded emergency powers and gain of function research. That is so 2020. I mean, as his employer, what do we think about that?

Senator (4:29)

No?

Political Analyst (4:30)

So I just want to let you know, if you're, listen, Supreme Leader Johnson, that I for one, am not doing that.

Commentator (4:42)

You know, one of the interesting things is that MAGA Mike Johnson tried to act all tough. He tried to act like when the Republicans brought back up the continuing resolution that did not include anything to do with eliminating the debt ceiling or putting an extension on when the debt ceiling would have to be addressed, which was exactly what Donald Trump was saying that he wanted in the continuing resolution or else he said, shut down the government. And MAGA Mike Johnson said, look, I was speaking with Donald Trump the entire time. Trump absolutely loves this new continuing resolution. He loves it. He says that this is a great thing. Look how weak MAGA Mike Johnson is as he basically brings right back to the floor the thing that he withdrew. Remove certain other things from this ridiculous stuff. But Trump's main thing that he wanted in this bill never made it into the bill. Here, watch this.

Senator (5:41)

So I was in constant contact with President Trump throughout this process. Spoke with him most recently about 45 minutes ago. He knew exactly what we were doing.

Political Analyst (5:53)

And why and this is a good.

Political Commentator (5:55)

Outcome for the country.

Commentator (5:56)

I think he certainly is happy about.

Senator (5:58)

This outcome as well.

Commentator (5:59)

And again, MAGA Mike looking so weird and just so weak. There we go. To say weak, not weird. But weird also works as well. Mean. Meanwhile, all these MAGA Republicans on social media are just ruthlessly trolling MAGA Mike Johnson. If you just look at the replies to any of his posts, they all look like this. MAGA Republicans posting AI memes like this one. I was bitch slapped yesterday on X. Mike Johnson has betrayed the American people. Gosh, I would be so embarrassed to show my face if I was you. Another MAGA Republican influencer goes Speaker Johnson. My first reply was trying to be nice. I realized my mistake afterwards. We don't want you as the Speaker. We want someone who will listen to the people. Also, MAGA Republicans posting polls like this one. Has Mike failed us as the speaker? 85% of the magazine who respond say yes. Other responses to MAGA Mike Johnson Social media posts like you already failed. The best for America is a new Speaker. Just take a look at these photos one more time. MAGA Mike with rfk, MAGA Mike with Kid Rock. MAGA Mike giving the pointy finger to Donald Trump next to Dana White as well at the UFC match. Fox is already basically writing the speakership obituary for MAGA Mike Johnson. Take a look at what Fox is posting. Names floated to replace Johnson as Speaker. Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy. Nothing says man of the people like unelected billionaire bureaucrats or Jim Jordan, Byron Donalds or Tom Emmer right there. Let's take a look here. Um, let's take a look at this one. This is Tommy Tuberville basically saying the problem with MAGA Mike is he's been flying on these planes and first class with Donald Trump and with Elon Musk and he hasn't been doing the work of Magnus. Play this clip.

What they're mad about, and they should be, is we should have done this two months ago even before President Trump was elected. This should have been done. But Mike Johnson's been riding around on airplanes going place, doing speeches with the President. Get back here and do your damn job and get the people here. I don't care if you stay seven days a week. We do things half ass up here, okay? We do things in a slow motion. Don't worry about getting reelected. Don't worry about, you know, your speakership job. Do your job. Get in a situation where the people start believing in the people again up here. Because right now, you know those people that actually blocked it last night, they're actually trying to do the right thing now. They've put them in a situate bad situation because they've waited to the end to do this. So it makes them look like the bad guy, but they're really not. We got to get people on the same page in the Republican Party.

Commentator (8:41)

Do you think Speaker Johnson should keep his job?

Political Commentator (8:44)

Well, that's going to be up to them. It's going to be very, very tough. I'm like Mike Lee Support for today's.

Next up, you have Victoria Spars saying, and again, I'm not really even sure what she's saying. It's really hard to like actually understand what she's saying with such a thick accent, but she goes, MAGA Mike Johnson dragged Donald Trump into the circus. It's MAGA Mike's fault. Play this clip.

Political Commentator (11:09)

But unfortunately, you know, on top of it, Speaker Johnson dragged President Trump into the circus. You know, he completely didn't mishandle it. He didn't work with Republicans. His staff has made deal with Chuck Schumer, tried to jam us before Christmas with a bunch of Christmas presents for Chuck Schumer. And then he's continued doing it again. So I think this is unfortunate where we are, but this is an example why we haven't been governing and the country is on a fiscal calamity course and we need to start doing something about it.

Commentator (11:40)

See how Donald Trump threw MAGA Micah under the bus. Like Mega Mike already had a bipartisan deal worked out, no drama. But then Elon Musk started posting kill the bill. Kill the bill. This bill is criminal and must started posting things with himself like samurai swords next to the bill and all this ridiculous performative stuff. And then Donald Trump said, under no circumstances do we allow this to be passed unless we attach a elimination of the debt ceiling to the continuing resolution. Well, that didn't happen either. It here is MAGA Republican Senator Mike Lee saying, look, MAGA Mike's lost control. It's time we bring in Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to be the speaker of the House. Play this clip.

Senator (12:23)

Well, I, I don't think Johnson likes you now.

Commentator (12:26)

Next time you guys see each other walking through the calls of Congress I like, he's gonna probably kick you in the leg.

Senator (12:31)

He is a good man. He's a friend. He's been a long friend for a long time. Great person. He's lost control of this process and he's, this is, I don't know how he can remain in power. We need Elon or Vivek as speaker.

Commentator (12:45)

He's a friend and you just threw him overboard.

Senator (12:47)

Man.

Marketing Expert (12:48)

Politics is tough.

Ad Sponsor (12:49)

Senator?

Senator (12:50)

Well, it is. Especially when you try to jam an entire country with the 1500 page bill that nobody's read and you try to trick them and bully them into doing. Some of us take that personally. Jesse.

Commentator (13:01)

Yeah, no, I don't like it either. I think it's terrible and we got.

Senator (13:04)

To stop doing it and it's got to stop now.

Commentator (13:06)

All right, Marjorie Taylor Greene echoing those sentiments as well. She says that she supports Elon Musk to be the speaker of the House. I mean, folks, these are not serious people. They really are not serious people. Um, here we have MAGA Republican Dan Mauser, and here he's saying, look, here's the thing. What we need in the House of Representatives, even though we're a co equal branch of government, is we should just be the board of directors that rubber stamps what the chief executive does. We need to make sure that we're like a board of directors who reports to the chief executive. News flash, Mr. Mouser, maybe a little lesson on corporate governance. That's not the way it works. The board is superior senior to the chief executive, but who cares about facts? Here, play this clip.

Senator (13:53)

The Francis Scott Key Bridge, all that other nonsense in a CR that was supposed to just have disaster funding and economic assistance for farmers. All right, so they added the garbage. We remove the garbage. Republicans need to get on board with President Trump. He is the commander in chief, he is the president, he is the decider in chief, and he's the CEO. You know, our role is really to be more of a supportive board of directors so we can implement what the American people voted for. And our my colleagues need to appreciate that or there's going to be trouble. Then we won't be able to deliver and we'll lose over time. Most importantly, the American people will.
