MAGA Mike gets BAD NEWS as Bill BLOWS UP on LIVE TV

Yesterday was catastrophic for Speaker of the House Maga Mike Johnson. He had a cataclysmic, awful, terrible appearance or appearances when he did the Sunday news shows. But also the MAGA Republicans in the Senate were saying that this budget bill is a disaster and these Republicans in the Senate say said that they were going to block it. So, it’s going to be interesting to see what Maggamike does. Also, Magga Mike was mumbling and stumbling when he was asked question on the Sunday shows. He tried to attack the Congressional Budget Office, but we all showed you here on the Midas Touch Network the literal talking points that he was passing out to other MAGA Republicans earlier in the week. He had to admit that he was just straight up attacking his own constituents in Louisiana. Louisiana has the second most uh Americans on food stamp supplemental nutrition assistance program and they’ve got millions of people on Medicaid as well and there’s hundreds of thousands of people on Medicaid in Maga Mike’s district who are going to lose their Medicaid. So Magga Mike had to admit during his appearances that he thinks that the people living in his district mostly we’re talking about Republican people because it’s a safe Republican district are fraud are fraudsters are basically all criminals and that’s why they’re getting Medicaid and he’s going after his own people. Let me break this all down for you because this was a sight to behold. So you had MAGA Republican Senator Ran Paul saying that somebody’s got to stand up against this atrocious, ridiculous, horrible budget bill. And then he described Donald Trump and Maggamike as the emperors with no clothes. Watch this. Somebody has to stand up and yell, “The emperor has no clothes.” And everybody’s falling in lock step on this. Pass the big beautiful bill. Don’t question anything. Well, conservatives do need to stand up and have their voice heard. This is uh a problem we’ve been facing for decades now and if we don’t stand up on it, I I I really fear the direction the country is going. Then you had MAGA Republican uh Johnson from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, and he says that the budget bill is immoral. It’s going to bankrupt America. That he will derail it in the Senate, which is an interesting point here. Play this clip. President Trump has suggested that the debt is not really top of mind of his concerns. He wants Republicans to fall in line. He wants Republicans to pass the bill. You told CNN, quote, “Somebody’s got to be the dad that says, “I know y’all want to go to Disney World, but we can’t afford it. I guess I’m going to be that guy.” Unquote. So, how determined are you to be that guy if it actually means telling President Trump, “You are going to vote against the bill and you’re going to try to get other Republican senators to join you unless there are major major changes.” Well, in 2010, I sprang on the Tea Party movement and and as I did paradise, my I would shout, “This is a fight for freedom. We are mortgaging our children’s future. It’s wrong. It’s immoral. It has to stop.” I haven’t changed. My campaign promise in 2010 and every campaign after that was to stop mortgaging our children’s future. It’s immoral. It’s wrong. It has to stop. And so, he may not be uh worried about that. I am extremely worried about that. That is my primary uh goal running for for Congress. This is our moment. We’ve witnessed an unprecedented level of increased spending, 58% since 2019, other than World War II. Uh this is this is our only chance to reset that to a reasonable prepandemic level of spending. And again, I think you can do it. And the spending that we would eliminate, people wouldn’t even notice. But you have to do the work, which takes time. Back to Ran Paul. Ran Paul said, “I’ll tell you how I mag Republican Rand Paul from Kentucky.” He goes, “Let me just make it very easy for all of you know how we know this is going to add at least $4 trillion to the deficit.” He goes, “They’re raising the debt ceiling in the budget bill by $4 trillion.” He goes, “That means what they’re preparing for is to at least have $2 trillion in deficits each year for the next two years.” Basically, he goes, “That’s guaranteed.” Here, play this clip. When March, every Republican, virtually every Republican other than me, voted to continue the Biden spending levels, which are going to give us a $2.2 trillion deficit. Now, if you increase the debt ceiling 4 to5 trillion, that means they’re planning on 2 trillion this year and more than$2 trillion next year. That’s just not conservative. So, I’ve told them if they strip out the debt ceiling, I’ll consider even with the imperfections voting for the rest of the bill, but I can’t vote to raise the debt ceiling 5 trillion. There’s got to be someone left in Washington who thinks debt is wrong and deficits are wrong and wants to go in the other direction. The idea that we’re going to explode deficits and the projections are now looking at over $3 trillion in deficits over the next 10 years, I think is just, you know, not a serious proposal. All right, so now the MAGA Mike Johnson disastrous appearance right here. Um, Magga Mike Johnson is confronted with the fact that Goldman Sachs, you know, they want to call what Goldman Sachs a lefty organization. He goes that Goldman Sachs says that any potential growth that could come from this budget bill will be eliminated by Trump’s disastrous tariff policy and by Trump’s disastrous economic plans to date. Here, play this clip about the greatest economy in the history of the world, not just the US, because we did a followed a very simple formula. We cut taxes and we cut regulations. You didn’t do it in the middle of a tariff war on steroids. In the first administration, there was sequencing. You got tax reform. The Republicans got tax reform through and held off the tariff war. Goldman Sachs says the hit to growth from tariffs will more than offset the boost to growth from the fiscal package. That’s Goldman Sachs. Well, well, I know I I I respect Goldman Sachs, but I think what they’re discounting here is the growth that will be spurred on by this legislation and the fact that the so-called tariff war is beginning to subside already. You’ve got over 75 countries that are negotiating new, more fair trade agreements for the US right now because of the president’s insistence that that be done. And it was decades overdue. That is going to benefit every American, is going to benefit the uh consumers. you know, they they they howled um when when the first uh tariffs, reciprocal tariffs policy was announced and they said that prices would skyrocket. That simply hasn’t happened. Many of those early estimates were were far off and that’s being proven now. So, what I think will happen is the tariffs uh you know contest will subside. This legislation will pass and get the economy going again and people will feel that. They’ll see it in their own pocketbooks and their own opportunity and and every American household is going to benefit by these policies. You know, Walmart has already said that it will have to raise prices. It’s not theoretical. Um, and the president on Friday was talking about even more tariffs this time on Apple and others. And by the way, folks, Goldman Sachs of all of the kind of banks out there, they’ve been the most kind of bullish. Um, and only recently have they really gone bearish. I’ve been reading their reports, you know, in the morning sometimes. I I want to read you their reports, not because I’m like love reading Goldman Sachs reports to you, but it’s just important to see, okay, what are like the bankers out there saying? So, here Magga Mike Johnson is confronted with the fact that in his state, people depend on supplemental nutrition assistance program, food stamps, and that he’s going to destroy his own state. Here, play this clip. We don’t want to slash benefits. And again, I make this very clear. We are not cutting Medicaid. We are not cutting SNAP. We’re working in the elements of fraud, waste, and abuse. SNAP, for example, uh listen to the statistics. In 2024, over 11 billion dollar in SNAP payments were were erroneous. I mean, that’s that’s a number that everyone acknowledges is real. It may be much Louisiana is like the second largest recipient of food stamps in the country, sir. So, let me explain it, Margaret. Let me explain it. The states the states are not properly administering this because they don’t have enough skin in the game. So what we’ve done in the bill is add some just a modest state sharing component so that they’ll pay attention to that. So that we can reduce fraud. Why? Again, so that it is preserved for the people that need it the most. This is common sense, Margaret. It’s good government. And everybody on both sides of the aisle should agree to that. We Magamike Johnson here claiming that he has no knowledge at all about Donald Trump going to that scammy or or hosting the scammy Trump memecoin dinner where the top 220 holders of Trump’s memecoin got access to Donald Trump, which they said was in Trump’s personal time. And Magga Mike’s like, “Look, I don’t I don’t know anything about it. I’ve just been too busy here playing this clip. President Trump held a closed door event Thursday night for top investors in his private cryptocurrency. We do not know who was there. The list has not been released. We do not know how much of the money came from outside the country. The president has of course a huge role to play when it comes to regul regulating crypto. I really have a difficult time imagining that if this was a Democratic president doing the exact same thing, you wouldn’t be outraged. Well, look, I don’t know anything about the dinner. I was a little busy uh this past week, as you know, getting the reconciliation package uh over the line. And so, I’m not going to comment on something I haven’t even heard about. I’m not sure who was there or what the purpose was. But I’ll say this, President Trump is very active. He’s very engaged. He’s the greatest deal maker, uh one of the greatest dealmakers of all time. He is working on these uh trade imbalances that we’ve had and having tremendous success. We got over 75 countries now renegotiating their trade agreements with America. It’s going to make it better for all of us, everybody in the country. And he is encouraging uh new technologies, crypto and and uh the advancement of AI. He’s he’s appointed a ZAR for the first time. We have an AISAR uh in David Saxs who’s an expert in the industry from Silicon Valley. There’s a lot of exciting things happening. The president is trying to encourage that along as much as he can and I think the vast majority of the country is applauding those efforts. So, uh, I’m one of them. I I think that the result of all this is going to be extraordinary for all everybody in the country. As Media Assan says, ah, top congressional Republicans are back to I’m pretending not to know about the huge Trump scandal that everyone is talking about, so I don’t comment on it. Deflection strategy that they deployed in the first Trump term, and I guess our media will let them use it again. Well, Medi, you you know, and I know we’re the captains of the ship now. We’re the media now. your independent media company is is the media now. And so we’re able to point it out to to bigger audiences than uh corporate news. Um here’s another clip of Magna Mike Johnson here. Let’s play this clip right here. So 1.4 million people in your home state of Louisiana are on Medicaid. More than 800,000 receive uh SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps. Is it your contention that if any of those Louisianans lose their benefits, it’s because they shouldn’t have been receiving them because they were committing waste, fraud, or abuse? Yeah. Look, my district, as every district in America, has people who are on the program who shouldn’t. And when you’re talking about, I keep using this example, a young able-bodied man with no dependence, there’s no reason he should not be working. We are the party about that that supports human dignity. And we find purpose and dignity in our work. It’s good for the individuals involved. It’s good for their community. And the Democratic Congress members, you know, I think that they were on a roll. They were fighting back pretty hard on the weekend shows. Here’s uh Democratic Congress members. You’ve seen it before on the Midas Touch show. Margaret, I I I got to tell you, it was like listening to 1984 or something listening to the speaker. You know, anybody can look this up. The American people want basically three things out of their federal budget. Number one, at this point in time when Americans, the wealthiest Americans are doing better than ever before, uh, Americans want the wealthiest of the of Americans to pay more taxes uh, and to give tax relief to the middle class and below. Number two, they want us to address the deficit uh, which is now spiraling out of control to the point where we got a downgrade in one of the US credit ratings. And third, they want a simpler tax code. This bill spa fails spectacularly on all three counts. They’re cutting Medicaid and uh uh nutritional assistance food stamps to tens of millions of Americans in order to preserve tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. They’re adding $3 trillion to the deficit with this bill. And lastly, they’re gumming up the tax code with you don’t have to pay taxes on tips. Now, what about the folks who don’t earn tips? You know, auto lending. I mean, again, on the three things that Americans care most about that they want the Congress to do, uh, this bill fails spectacularly. Look, and that’s going to show up in the polling uh, pretty soon as Americans come to realize what it is that the House of Representatives just did. Here’s Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Beyond that, beyond the fact that it’s just really a cruel bill, it’s this idea that they are going to um somehow be fiscally responsible when we know under the first Trump administration, they ran the national deficit up $8 trillion. And with this one bill, they want to raise the debt ceiling an additional $5 trillion. So, here is the deal. If we have cut off everything that would help somebody, which doesn’t sound like a very Christian thing to do, if we’re going to do all of that, at least have something to show for it. They have nothing to show for it except for again those top earners being able to say have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht or get their next plane. That doesn’t work for me and that obviously does not work for my constituents. Here’s Congresswoman Crockett again. Let’s play it. I don’t know where he’s ever going to go. And I don’t think that those that have gone through West Point expected to have their commanderin-chief address them and start talking about trophy wives or start talking about how he had so many investigations. What a great reminder that you are not qualified to be the person that potentially will command us as troops to go into war. Like that is not instilling confidence whatsoever. And honestly, our troops deserve better. Our graduates deserve better. We as a country deserve better. And frankly, if we are going to ever be seen as the world leaders that we historically have been, the world deserves better. It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not uh qualified to serve. But this is just absolutely deplorable. Finally, Magga Mike Johnson saying that uh he believes the CBO report is just inaccurate. We can’t trust a nonpartisan CBO, even though Magga Mike Johnson consistently cited it before, but he’s like, we can’t we can’t look at it. Just don’t don’t look at the numbers. What’s really important here, too, to point out, Shannon, is that uh some of the estimates, for example, by the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, are wildly inaccurate. They’re they’re assuming a historically low growth rate in the economy. The elements of the big beautiful bill, the reason we’re so excited is because it will be jet fuel to the US economy. This is going to foster a progrowth economy again to get job creators and entrepreneurs and risktakers moving again, expanding their businesses, adding more jobs. Wages will go up. We’ll have more manufacturing in the US because of all the policies that we put into this legislation. It’s a long time coming. And remember, not theoretical. We did this before in the first Trump administration. We we brought in the greatest economy in the history of the world, not just the US. After just those first two years, because we cut taxes and cut regulations, we’re doing it again and on steroids this time. You all remember the example that I give. It’s that movie on on Netflix. It’s called Don’t Look Up. Leonardo DiCaprio is in it with the with the asteroid that’s coming down to to hit Earth. They discover the asteroid. all of these experts and they’re warning and they know the asteroids are going to hit Earth and they see it coming. They see it coming. see it coming. And because of all of the disinformation out there and the propaganda networks and the the regime in the White House in the movie is very similar has similarities to the Trump regime and they want to like distract people. And so anyway, there’s a whole campaign of don’t look up, just don’t don’t see the asteroid that’s about to hit and destroy the Earth. And to me, that’s kind of like the moment that we’re in now with the MAGA Republican Congress members and regime media, which I don’t just consider Fox, corporate news in general, that wants to cover up for Donald Trump, but they’re like, “Don’t look at it. Just don’t look at it.” And we here at the Midas Touch Network, we are the the look up network, look at the asteroid, see what’s happening. That’s why I keep on talking about FEMA, FEMA, FEMA over and how many times do you hear me talk about FEMA? Because I’m like, the Trump regime gutted FEMA. We’re what, a week away from hurricane season. It’s going to be a bigger than average or there’s going to be more hurricanes this season than normally. That’s going to be a problem where you gut FEMA. The National Weather Service, Trump’s gutted, the National Oceanic, uh, administration, uh, atmospheric administration, Donald Trump gutted. They they forecast these things. Our weather balloons are not going up anymore. You know, we’ve gutted critical people, critical groups that study infectious disease. The Trump regime is not letting Americans under the age of 65, if they deem you to be healthy, you can’t get COVID vaccines starting in the fall. They’re going to block you from getting COVID vaccines. They are spreading disinformation about measles. You know what they’ve gutted with the FAA and now our airports are an absolute mess. We have missing air traffic controllers. We have radar that’s going down. Uh, you know, there’s systemic issues. Then the Trump regime on top of that, they want to go after student loan debt delinquencies. And now we’re seeing student loan debt delinquencies the highest ever, which means that as people who can pay back their student loans, if their credits getting harmed, then they’re not going to be able to participate in paying back other types of loans. That’s going to be a shock to the system. uh auto loan delinquencies are at an all-time high. And so the question I’m following all of these things because you know just one of these things as we saw with the housing crisis in you know 0708 can have a spiral effect and we’ve created so many traps that self-inflicted traps that any one of these you know is an issue. So it’s why we’re talking to you about we’re trying to get ahead. We’re trying to explain what’s happening with all the disinformation out there. Anyway, thanks for watching. Hit subscribe. Let’s get to 5 million subscribers. Thank you love this video.

  2. Americans are being led and governed by the most spineless group of liars and untrustworthy people imaginable.., they deserve better.

  4. Proof of 47s dementia! The headline from the West Point speech should be about how it provides proof of Trump’s dementia. The activity of Bill Leavitt going to job sites and picking up nails and such is a story 47 has told about his own father! I read it in a book (Lucky Loser) about the family, and it is also directly quoted in the August 2020 Town and Country in an article titled “16 Things You Didn't Know About Donald Trump's Father, Fred.” Trump told this same story during a 2016 campaign speech about his father being so frugal he would go to job sites and pick up scraps for reuse. Trump is so addled that he is crediting things his father did to Bill Leavitt using virtually the exact same verbiage. This is something people with dementia do. They remember a story from the past, but misattribute things about it. I have personally experienced people with Alzheimer’s doing this frequently, especially in the early stages of the disease! Hope this story is aggressively pursued. I have no doubt there’s other similar incidents of this. And there will be more. It coincides with the scandal of them removing transcripts from WH website.

  6. Love this channel and group but so many click bait titles and exaggerated talking points. There’s been nothing catastrophic negatively for these people in control.

  9. What's bad for MAGA is good for America. What MAGA Mike will say to his constituents when it's time to answer voters. Good luck balancing the budget with "Wealthfare" tax breaks on the backs of the most vulnerable. You can't project windfall profits based on tariffs; as prices/taxes increase, the public bears the burden. Cutting holes in the social safety net/refusing to return federal taxpayer dollars to the state will devastate the country. Homelessness in America is a crime, but denying people healthcare/food is fine.

  12. I find it difficult to reconcile that the leader of the Congress is not kept up to date on matters concerning the President, by his staff.

  14. I think this is the 4th time on 4 separate occasions that this is the first time Mike is hearing about this. Why don't they just call him on it to his face? Like seriously stop playing the silly game & just stop allowing them to gaslight everybody. It's so ironic watching these people who wouldn't last 1 day at a real job talk about people who don't contribute when someone who is unemployed is doing more to help their community & the greater good than they are. Nothing but sleezy car salesman lying, cheating & stealing from their own constituents. You want to talk waste fraud & abuse… look no further than the Republican Party.

  19. Heard all this is the House and they passed it, I imagine you should get ready for the bill to be passed. It’s about time you wake up to the fact that you are being scammed.

  27. Mike Johnson claims he doesn't know certain things. He knows very well but he can't say what he knows…He can only tell the big lies for his number one…Trump
    He's drinking Trumps cool aid and has turned his back on the People of America.

  30. They’re doing what they pointed out in that movie about Donald Trump that came out over the summer where his mentor taught him to deny, deflect and lie.
