He should have canceled his C-SPAN appearance

MAGA, Mike Johnson had a really bad day. He decided in the middle of the government shutdown, the confrontations from senators and members of the House and just everything going wrong as he tries to suppress the Epstein files. MAGA, Mike Johnson decided to go on C-SPAN and it was not good. Who thought that this was going to go well in this political environment?

A Republican military wife caller, a Republican military wife called in and dresses him down and says she is disappointed. How is he allowing all of these horrible things to happen? And he is completely passive. It's almost like he doesn't give a damn because he is serving an audience of one. And that one man is very orange and very swollen. It

is not the Republican military wife caller. Take a listen to this.

Hi, Mr. Johnson. So my question or comments are related to what you said yesterday about not being open to pass any legislation to ensure that military gets paid. I'm sure you can tell by my voice, I'm very shaky. Just want you to hear a little bit about my family. I have two medically fragile children. I have a husband who actively serves this country. He suffers from PTSD from his two tours in Afghanistan. If we see a lapse in pay come the 15th, my children do not get to get the medication that's needed for them to live their life because we live

paycheck to paycheck. I heard you earlier say that you side with president Trump on anything that he says, well, I just read an article this morning that said he absolutely whole hardly believes that there needs to be legislation put in so that we do not miss a paycheck. You have the power to do that. And as a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party and I'm very disappointed

in you because you do have the power to call the House back. You did that, or you refused to do that just for a show. I'm begging you to pass this legislation. My kids could die. We don't have the credit because of the medical bills that I have to pay regularly. You could stop this, and you could be the one that could say military is getting paid.

And I think that it is awful and the audacity of someone who makes six figures a year to do this to military families is insane.

All right, Samantha.

Samantha, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. The reason I've been so angry this week and they've been calling me out on media, Johnson's angry. I am angry because of situations just like yours. I have a big military district in my district is the home of the global strike command at Barksdale Air Force Base and for Paul, the joint readiness training center.

Do you think the caller gives a damn about Barksdale Air Force Base? She's saying she doesn't have the ability unless we end this thing to pay for the basic necessities of her family. He goes, oh, I know. I know this very well. You know, we've got Barksdale, Barksdale.

I have one of the biggest military districts and military families in in America. I have a lot of airmen and soldiers who are deployed right now and they have young families at home and they have children and health situations like yours. This is what keeps me up at night.

There's no answer. It just there's's no answer. It just is. There's no answer. He has no answer for it. He just this is the type of crap that he says. Who in this guy's office thought this appearance was going to be a good idea? Mike Johnson was asked by another caller, what's your plan to fix Obamacare? Great question.

Mike Johnson says so.

And I also want to know what is your plan to fix the Obamacare?

Great questions. There's a lot of improvements that are needed. Obamacare did not do what was promised. Everybody can acknowledge that. As I mentioned, premiums are up 60 percent since it became law in 2010.

Now, remember, this is like, you know, they just lie so easily. I can't correct every lie because this is just nonsense. But what I think is important to remember here is that Obamacare, the the program, the premiums within these health connector type programs went up more slowly than those outside of it. Obamacare didn't solve the problem that premiums go up every year. It didn't solve it. But those plans within Obamacare marketplaces have seen premiums go up a little more slowly

than those outside of it. Is it like, oh, my God, we solved it. No, it's not. But it was at least something. And remember that they have nothing. They have they have no alternative whatsoever.

And you have less access to care. And in some parts of the country, lower quality of care. So we've got to fix that. Republicans are the party that have the ideas to do that. We have a doctor's caucus inside the Republican conference that works around the clock, putting together the ideas, talking to stakeholders and other providers around the country. We have a lot of ideas to fix it.

Some people say, why can't you just rip Obamacare out at the roots and start over? It's very, very complicated. It affects about 18 percent of the U.S. economy, health care. But there's lots of various improvement. We have not. This is not a talking point for us.

We've demonstrated it in the one big, beautiful bill, the working families tax cuts. We added lots of provisions, for example, to reform Medicaid.

It was, you know, anyway, that's another lie. The provisions they added to reform Medicaid only make it harder for people to get benefits. They put in place a whole bunch of restrictions. I mean, this this is really disgusting stuff. And for a guy who calls himself a Christian, the facility with which he just lies to constituents, to voters, to journalists is disgusting. It's quite frankly, disgusting.

Finally, caller asks Maga Mike Johnson, have you ever not voted with Trump on any issue at any point in time? Yes. Good morning. This was asked the speaker

a couple of questions. Have you ever voted against anything that Trump set forth as far as policy? That's one question. The other is what is going on with the swearing in of the Congresswoman who will make the 218 vote? I noticed that you were speaking in the hall yesterday with someone regarding the idea that maybe she would make the 218 vote that would open up the vote for the Epstein files to be released.

This is not something that we are going to forget about. This is serious business. The other thing is that Trump is a dictator. So it doesn't matter what Johnson does or what the guy over in the Senate does. All the things that have to happen is if Trump says open the government, it will be open tomorrow. We have to understand that. And they keep talking about we're putting names out there about Trump being a dictator in this.

Now you just called and he continues to call.

All right, Alexander. And he's talking about Representative Adelita Grohova being not being sworn in.

Yeah. Alexander gave me a lot to answer there. Let me go real quickly. I typically vote with President Trump. do, because that's my party and I lead my party in the House and our agenda is working for the American people. You can make an argument.

There you go. I vote with Trump. Whatever he says goes. That's it. I mean, it's a I'm not going to give you 15 minutes of this guy because it's an insult to everybody.

He it's we we're hearing enough to know that this guy is despicable. That's what we're hearing enough to know. I you know, I'm all for treating staff well, but whoever thought this was a good idea deserves a talking to from MAGA Mike Johnson because it went so terribly for him, which I love. Right. I should be thanking whoever set this up for MAGA Mike. He should be furious with them.

Many of you know that I grew up speaking Spanish, but I took French in middle school and high school. I'm a little rusty on it. And when I was getting ready for my last trip to France, one of the things I was most worried about was am I going to be able to communicate in everyday situations, ordering food in French, asking for directions, greeting people?

I didn't want to be the person flipping through my phone, trying to translate everything. And what really helped me was Babel instead of like vocabulary lists that go on forever in a vacuum. Our sponsor Babel teaches you language through real conversation. So the French Babel taught me was super useful on the trip. And the best part is that Babel fits into quick 10 to 15 minute lessons so I could fit

it into my busy schedule very easily thanks to the interactive dialogue exercises in the Babel app and the spaced repetition that made the phrases stick. I was just more comfortable. I have to admit, my girlfriend was actually impressed with my French when we were in France. I have to admit, my girlfriend was actually impressed with my French when we were in France. I could order at restaurants, buy train tickets, figure out is there a baby changing station at David Pakman.
