MAGA Mike PANICS ON LIVE TV as ELECTION Threatens HIS SURVIVAL

MAGA Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House, is a panicking on live TV. He knows the end is near. You're about to lose your job, MAGA Mike. Whether it's Donald Trump, perhaps firing you soon, yeah, because you basically work for him at this point, or with the blue wave sweeping across the United States, the end is near for you at the midterms, MAGA Mike. He is not handling it well, but he's handling it like a MAGA, which means he goes and does his humiliation ritual yet again. He trots out there, Donald Trump trots him out there to do his little press conference, his little

little MAGA Mike press conference, and MAGA Mike's like, I don't think that the election on Tuesday has anything to do with the Republican Party. We're stronger than ever. Are you going to cry, Mega Mike?

Here, play this clip.

I don't think the loss last night was any reflection about Republicans at all. I think people are frustrated and angry as we are. I am, the president is, and we express that different ways. But look, we look forward, we're looking forward to a great election running on our record. And we're going to we're going to get all of our incumbents reelected and we're going to add to the number here. So that's

the answer. And then Maggie Mike goes, in fact, as we head into the midterms, we are bullish on the outcome. We take the goes. We take the results from the election as showing that people love the Republican Party and they love our policies.

Here play this clip.

So it's very clear who's responsible for this. And I think that when we go into next year in the midterms, we're very bullish about the outcome. We have an extraordinary record to run on. You mentioned, leader Scalise mentioned sort of what we call the split screen here, and I'll remind you all again, under President Trump and Republicans, we have had an extraordinary

run the first nine, ten months of this, nine months, the tenth month has been shut down because of the Democrats. The first nine months of this Congress and this administration, arguably the most productive of all time. We cut taxes, cut regulations, cut waste, fraud, and abuse in government.

Yeah, Meg and Mike,

like cutting healthcare for 17 million Americans, raising healthcare prices for 25 million Americans who may then lose their healthcare because they can't afford it, cutting food assistance for 42 million Americans, shutting down the government that you all control,

and sending Congress on vacation for, say, even more than a month. Like in the past 102 days, Congress has worked about 11 of those days. Let's take a look here what MAGA Mike had to say as well. MAGA Mike says, and again, what happened last night was, was more about blue states and blue cities.

Don't look into this at all. There's nothing more to see here. Here, play this clip. There's nothing more to see here. Here, play this clip.

There's no surprises. What happened last night was blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results. Off your elections are not indicative of what's to come. That's what history teaches us. By the way, it's worthy of note that Zoran Mondami himself only received a little over a million votes, 1,036,000 votes. There are 8.3 million residents in New York City, 8.5 million actually is the number I

think. So about 12% of the city voted to turn their city over to the communists. We'll see how that works out. The lesson-

And next, MAGA Mike says, but what we all need to really focus on is that Donald Trump is literally solving wars around the globe. He goes, I think we're up to nine. He's solving another war. He said, here, play this clip.

We have put real reforms into the Medicaid program to strengthen it because we've got people who were ineligible recipients like illegal aliens and young able-bodied men without dependents off the program so that the disabled, the elderly and young pregnant women can have the resources they need. The president is literally solving wars around the globe. I think we're up to nine. All of that is on one side of the screen.

What are the Democrats on the other side of the screen?

A government shutdown. And then there was a moment where there was a heckler there and Maga Mike Johnson tried to get the MAGA Republican Congress member Lisa McClain to cool it. And you'll see Maga

Mike almost swat her hand away. Here, play this clip right here.

I can't hear you because we have someone who doesn't respect the rights of their colleagues over here. I'd love to talk with you. Wait, wait, wait. I'd love to talk with you. Come to my office. Okay. You have an obligation.

Yeah. Yeah. And get this as it relates to prop 50, which California governor Newsom put to the America put to the California people to vote on for the mid-decade redistricting there as a response to Texas. And Texas and Trump trying to rig the midterms, California said, okay, well, we'll do it if you're gonna do it, but we're not just gonna do,

have a governor say this is how it goes. We'll make it a referendum and we'll make the people vote on it. We'll have the people vote, popular sovereignty. So, Mag and Mike goes, Prop 50 was unlawful, Gavin Newsom's trying to rig the midterms, this is all Gavin's fault, really? You may wanna look in the mirror,

or you may wanna, I don't know, look to who you're waking up next to in the morning, because it may be Donald Trump.

Here, play this clip.

Make a comment about the tragedy in California last night. What California did is very very different as you all know By comparison to what a state like Texas did Texas was following the federal and state constitution following their state law and redistricting California was not they had to trample over their own state law over their own independent Redistricting Commission that they had all put into place. It was a desperation a sign of desperation on Democrat Party Then Gavin Newsom's immoral leadership and the fact that they will do anything, anything to try to rig the system.

Then MAGA Mike Johnson says, look, let's talk about the economy and healthcare. They're the two primary issues right now and Americans trust us.

The MAGA Republicans here play this clip.

The economy and healthcare are two of the primary issues in the country clearly. And that's why we are delighted to run on our record. We are addressing that. We are delivering for the people. We are fulfilling our promises.

Let's bring in Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries. Leader Jeffries, you have MAGA Mike Johnson going through his morning humiliation ritual. Donald Trump trots him out there. He lies to the American people. But this morning he said that the blue tidal

wave that swept across the United States is not a reflection about Republicans at all. And he says that he's very bullish on the outcome of the midterms based on what he saw yesterday. What's your response, Leader Jeffries?

Well, House Republicans in their thin majority are going down in flames. And Mike Johnson is either lying to the American people or he's just divorced from reality or some combination of the two. What we've seen across America as a result of last night's election was a complete affirmation of the Democratic vision of driving down the high cost of living, fixing our broken healthcare system,

and pushing back aggressively against the corruption and extremism that has been unleashed on the American people by Donald Trump and his cronies in the House and the Senate from day one. And it was certainly a repudiation

of the failure of Republicans to do a damn thing to make life better for the American people. In fact, on the Republican policies, things are getting worse. The cost of living has gone up.

We've seen, you know, extremism unleashed in horrific ways on law abiding immigrant communities that has horrified the American people, the attacks on the rule American people, the attacks on the rule of law, the failures and attacks on health care, the attacks on nutritional assistance, all of the things, you know, have been a disaster and a failure under complete

control of government by Republicans.

Leader Jeffries, you're telling me that the American people were not responding in the right way to Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans and his cabinet throwing a great Gatsby roaring 20s themed party with half naked women dancing in martini glasses while 42 million Americans were having their snap ripped away

and 20 million Americans losing healthcare. I mean, just the idea that MA Megan Mike said it was obligatory. That's what he said in one of the press conferences. Trump has no choice, but to throw these roaring twenties themed parties while Americans are suffering.

But doesn't it seem to be that's what they do, tearing down the East wing, building triumphal arches or whatever the hell they're doing

while people are suffering. I mean, in your face, they are pushing this narrative that greed is good and we're just gonna enrich the wealthy, the well-off and the well-connected. That was the foundation of their one big ugly bill, largest cut to Medicaid in American history.

Hospitals, nursing homes and community-based health centers closing all across the country because of what Republican policies have done. And in that same bill, of course, they cut a hundred and eighty six billion dollars from SNAP, the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. They literally ripped food out of the mouths

of hungry children, seniors, and veterans, and they did all of that so they could reward their billionaire donors with massive tax breaks. And throughout this 36-day government shutdown, where Trump and Republicans have shut the government down because they're unwilling to provide affordable health care to the American people, we've seen just the most outrageous and outlandish behavior, including that so-called Halloween party that was just a celebration of the lifestyles

of the rich and shameless. They have torn down half the White House in plain sight. Donald Trump found $40 billion to reward his right-wing, wannabe dictator, billionaire buddy in Argentina, but can't find a dime to make sure that children in America don't go hungry. He's ripped SNAP benefits away from them. So certainly Ben, you're absolutely right that the American people are smart. They

see all of this. It's happening in their face and they rejected it decisively

across the country last night. Now one of the things that you've been saying is that Donald Trump and Maga Mike Johnson Are running a PPP a pedo

Protection program. Can you talk about that? Yeah, that's extraordinary this pedophile protection program That is the only explanation at this point for the fact that House Republicans have now cancelled votes Six consecutive weeks. These people are literally on a taxpayer-funded vacation while the government is shut down and Hundreds of thousands of federal employees are either being forced to work without pay or have been furloughed They're not sure at this point how they can pay the rent, the mortgage, put food on the table.

Mike Johnson could care less. And he's kept the house out because clearly he does not want to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grajava because she will be the 218th vote on a discharge petition that will trigger legislation to the floor that forces the Department of Justice to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. And so it's extraordinary. Representative-elect Adelaida Grajowa won in late September.

We're now in early November. And so the only rational explanation for what Mike Johnson is doing and keeping the house out, basically castrating his own majority, keeping the house out for the last six weeks is that it's all in service of the pedophile protection program because they don't want the Jeffrey Epstein files released and they're protecting people in

those files at the direction of Donald Trump and the MAGA extremists in the White House.

And we know that Donald Trump's name is all over the files based on what Pam Bondi and Kash Patel told him as well. Let's talk about this letter that you and Senate Leader Schumer sent to Donald Trump and to all the MAGA leaders as soon as the election results were all in. This morning you wrote, Dear President Trump, we write to demand a bipartisan meeting of legislative leaders to end the GOP shutdown of the federal government and decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis.

Democrats stand ready to meet with you face to face, anytime and any place. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, what does it say to you that Donald Trump, Maga Mike and Thune say that it would be theatrics if you all met or that if it was a meeting in public, it would be too theatrical for them to do it.

That's why they've refused to meet with you, yet alone negotiate with you. No

meeting. They don't want to talk to you. It's like little babies. What do you make of it? Yeah, their position is completely and totally indefensible. And that's why they continue to run scared. And it's extraordinary to me. Donald Trump, from the beginning of the shutdown, has spent more time talking to Hamas and the Chinese Communist Party than he has talking to Democrats on Capitol Hill who represent half the country. And in fact, we've seen him multiple times on the golf course after these extremists

shut the government down. And so this morning, Leader Schumer and I once again made clear we'll sit down with them anytime, any place in order to reopen the government, to find a bipartisan path forward to enacting a spending agreement, but that spending agreement actually has to make life better for the American people and lower the high cost of living. And we're not going to support a partisan Republican spending bill that continues to

gut the healthcare of the American people. That was our position in September. That was our position in October. It remains our position in November. We need to decisively address the healthcare crisis that Republicans are visiting on the American people.

Before we go, Leader Jeffries, any final message you wanna say to our 6 million subscribers and to the American people who are feeling, all right, big day yesterday, but we've got a lot of work ahead of us heading into these midterms. And you know, it's time to put some checks and balances back into our system.

We've got to keep our foot on the gas pedal and finish the job, which will involve making sure that House Democrats take back control of the United States Congress next November, building upon the victories that we had yesterday, so we can actually be a check and balance on an out of control executive branch. That we don't work for Donald Trump. We don't work for JD Vance.

We don't work for their billionaire donors. We don't work for their billionaire donors. We work for the American people. And the only way you'll see a Congress that functions like that is if we continue to show up and stand up and speak up for what we all know is right. We've got to keep our foot on the gas pedal.

Things are moving in the right direction, but we've got to stay in this fight until we win this fight for the American people.

Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, thanks as always for your time.

Thanks, Ben. Thanks, Ben.
