🚨MAGA Mike FREAKS OUT as NO ONE SHOWS!!!!
Magga Mike Johnson, who is the. Republican acting lame duck speaker of. the House right now, is freaking out as. a lot of his Republican members in the. House of Representatives are no shows. They've lost their races. They are not. showing up to Congress. Meanwhile, you. have pretty good attendance among the. Democratic caucus. Even though for this. lame duck session technically. Republicans still have the majority in. the House until Democrats get sworn in.
in January and take control of the House. and take control of the Senate. There's. a Democratic majority right now in the. House of Representatives because far. more Democrats have shown up than. Republicans. 202 Democrats have voted in. the last vote this evening to 196. Republicans. So technically, Democrats. right now have the majority. Even in the. House of Representatives, even though.
we're in this Republican lame duck. session, it looked like Magga Mike. Johnson was going to cry when he just. held a press conference moments ago. And. we know the Democrats right now are. going to push a lot of strong. initiatives, including Hegset's. impeachment, maybe RFK's impeachment, maybe Tom Hman's impeachment. And if. Democrats can still have a majority. right now before the overwhelming. majority they're about to have in the. 120th Congress come January, we can see.
a lot of activity right now. And we. already saw Thomas Massie this morning. introduced the articles of impeachment. against Hegsith. We know that there's. actually a lot of support from it in the. House and even in the Senate. We've. heard from people like Republican. Senator of North Carolina who's losing. his job, Senator Tillis. He was pushed. out by Trump. There's going to be the. new senator there, Senator Cooper, come. January. But Tillis says, "I'm going to. vote to convict Hegsith as well." So,
let me show you moments ago, Magga Mike. Johnson looked like he was about to cry. as he's this lame duck speaker. His own. members aren't even showing up. And then. I'll show you in a moment as well, Maga. Mike may be quitting entirely from the. House of Representatives. He may no. longer even be a congressman. We already. know he's not going to be running for. any leadership position when the MAGA. Republicans or his MAGA debt when the. Republicans have the minority. He's not. running for any leadership, but he may. quit Congress entirely. And he.
previously said he may open up a a. lawnmowing business in Louisiana. So, he. may do that. Although I think he'd be a. very lousy lawn, lawnmower business. owner because he would probably lie. about the grass and pretend that things. were handled well, but then the grass. would just grow out of control. He would. say, "Everything's amazing. Everything. Donald, right? Isn't the grass amazing?". And Donald won't pick up his phone calls. anymore. Anyway, here was Magga Mike. Johnson moments ago saying, you know, with the polls, the polls were wrong, so.
we don't know what even happened with. the polls. the polls. MAGA Mike actually. underestimated the support for. Democrats, not the other way around. Magga Mike, here play this clip. I was. traveling around the country. I mean, I. went to over 40 states. I mean, hundreds. and hundreds of campaign events. We. would be in ballrooms and and airplane. hangers and big big, you know, I'd have. three 400 people and I'd say raise your. hand if you participated in a poll in. the last 6 months and there would be. three hands out of 300. And I saw that. all around the country, coast to coast.
Um, you had CNN reported uh the week. before the election, it was on a Monday. morning, they had a they had a story and. they said that uh 15 out of the last 16. elections, the October uh uh generic. ballot for Congress underrepresented. Republicans by an average of four. points. That was the average. So, what I. was saying was not breaking news. I. think everyone acknowledges the polling. there's a serious problem in the polling. industry. Uh it missed it yet again by a. mile this time. And uh I just we've all. learned that that you know you really.
can't put a lot of emphasis on that. Now. whether the second question whether more. for Magga Mike Johnson again it looked. like he was about to cry and wow Magga. Mike is not even committing to being a. Congress member anymore. He's certainly. not going to be in leadership but it. sounds like he's about to quit entirely. and not even be in the 120th Congress. right now. Let's play this clip. >> Well my my plan is here we're focused on. finishing the 119th strong and we're. going to do that. and I'm still in. charge here till uh early January. Uh. and we're going to do our duty. And. after that, my uh my commitment and my.
objective is to help my team ensure that. uh the Republican party has a very. successful 120th Congress. And um and. we'll see how all that develops. And. that's my commitment. They know it. I I. decided not to run for a minority. leader. Um really the only person in the. modern era that that um that decided to. to uh to to to stick around and and. serve in the speaker ammerita uh. position was uh Nancy Pelosi. And um I I. just didn't feel after a lot of prayer. and reflection, I didn't feel like that.
was the best uh thing for me to do. Um. we we we have a a leadership u election. tomorrow as you know and we have uh two. extraordinary guys that are running to. uh lead the conference and I'm close to. both of them and we'll see how that. shakes out. But um I had uh you know. three years over three years now as. speaker of the house. Um most of y'all. didn't know I've had the last three. weeks and that's okay. That's nobody. did. Uh but we did it uh by a lot of. patience and prayer and faith and with a. great team and I I genuinely love my.
colleagues. Uh I have enjoyed uh leading. this group and I'm I'm really grateful. we got so much done. >> Yes. >> And Magg's like all right the results. were not what we hoped for but that's. our system. Let's play this clip. Um the. results were not what we hoped for and. worked for as you all know. Uh but this. is our our system. I I know without any. shadow of a doubt that we left it all on. the field. Um I personally raised well. over half a billion dollars for this. campaign cycle and I I logged enough. miles uh campaigning for my colleagues. to circle the globe over nine times. Um.
there's not much more uh that any of us. could have done. Uh and that the people. have have spoken. Should be noted as. well that Democratic congresswoman or. it's not even Democrat Haley Stevens who. attacked who attacked Senator Elect Dr. Abdul Elsad in the final days before. that Michigan election and torched her. entire career. She has been hanging out. with the Republicans. So I guess Maggam. you've got Haley Stevens right now. She.
was in the Republican cloak room all day. chilling with the Republicans because no. Democrats would talk with her. So, I. guess he did pick up Haley Stevens. Bye-bye, Haley Stevens. But have you. seen all these photos? We showed some. earlier today of all of the new. Democratic senators elect in the. capital. They look like they're happy. people who are ready to make a change. and actually make a difference. It's so. cool seeing all of them together. And. then we got the news as well that Lauren. Boowbert officially loses her race in.
Colorado's fourth congressional. district. Bye-bye Lauren Boowbert. That. was called a few hours ago. She will. lose the fourth congressional district. to Democrat Eene Licker. And uh Eileen. Licker is a veteran. Uh ran a great. campaign. And remember, Lauren Boowbert. moved to uh Colorado's fourth. congressional district because it was. even more Republican and more Trumpy.
She moved from her other district to. basically try to rig it for herself and. she still lost to this incredible. candidate. Let me show you moments ago. when CNN made that call. Let's play it. Objection. CNN projecting that [music]. Democrat Eileen Lawbacker will win. Colorado's fourth congressional. district, unseeding Republican incumbent. and reliable Trump ally Lauren Boowart. Boowart's loss coming after she decided. to run in a more conservative district. last cycle in an effort to preserve her.
political future. Her opponent, Lawbacker, served more than three. decades in the Navy and focused her. campaign on affordability issues. This. win growing the Democratic majority in. the House to 256. seats now. >> So I guess we don't have to see Lauren. Boowbert running in and missing votes. anymore. The Midas Touch Network was. there every time she would like miss the. vote and she would run and then like the. vote would be closed like remember when. we captured this one right over here. where she missed a vote. Play this clip.
real quick. I know you said earlier I. [laughter]. >> remember back in 2023 this clip outside. of the Capitol building where she ran up. the stairs as she was missing yet. another vote. I'll show you what that. looked like. Play this clip. >> They just closed it. >> They closed it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And then she like did this video. where she lied back in 2023 and she's.
like, "I did a protest. There's. absolutely no way to justify adding four. to$6 trillion in the debt. So I did a. protest vote." No, no, you just missed. it. We saw you miss the vote. This was. back from 2023. Play this clip. >> Hey everyone, I am back in Colorado. But. let's talk about DC. No excuses. I was. ticked off. They wouldn't let me do my. job, so I didn't take the vote. Once. again, Washington's power machine shoved. a multi-t trillion dollar bill down our. throats, refused to allow debate or.
amendments, disregarded everything we. fought for in January to actually allow. representatives to do their jobs, and. instead they served us up a crap. sandwich. Call it a no-show protest. But. I certainly let every one of my. colleagues and the country know I was. against this garbage of a bill and. against bypassing the voice of each. representative. Deals cut in the dark. are why we are headed towards $36. trillion in debt and I refuse to be a.
part of it. >> Got this photo over here of Senator. Elect James Talerico meeting the. individual who had that seat before. Senator Cornin of Texas who Donald Trump. pushed out. Donald Trump elevated Ken. Paxton who ran one of the worst. campaigns. Tyler Rico ran one of the. best campaigns. He beat Paxton by like. 13 to 14 points in Texas. And every. Texas state office went blue. Every. single one of them. And the Texas. Supreme Court seats and the Texas House.
But Senator Cornin um right over there. being being nice with uh Senator Elect. Taler Rico. You see that over there? Oh, by the way, our friends over at TMZ, Charlie Cotton, who's on Capitol Hill, he caught up with John Houston and just. started mocking John Houston. So, now. that you lost your race, um, talk to us. like, are you happy that Donald Trump. talked about your ass the entire time? Are you happy about that? Here, play. this clip. >> Hey, now that the dust has settled, how.
do you feel about the president. complimenting your butt? >> I I take uh compliments from the. president. Uh. uh very well. You know, I I appreciate I. app all the things that can happen to. you in a political campaign. People are. saying all these neat things about you. It was nice to have somebody say. something positive. >> Did you laugh about it privately sort of. thing? >> Oh, my wife and I my wife and I took the. responsibility very seriously. We're. going to We've been in the gym doing our. lunges and our squats all the time. >> That's hilarious. Maybe in your next.
career you should use your asset. You. know what I mean? >> Well, you know what? where we uh do our. best to uh to uh live up to the. expectations the president set for. >> You could be a model. >> I don't I don't know about that. I think. I'm a little past my prime. >> Yeah. Have you got any like uh what. physical trait of the presidents do you. most admire if he enjoys your eyes? >> Well, you know, keep that to myself. >> Okay. Hey, thank you, mate. I appreciate. that. Cheers, mate. Oh. Oh, TMZ also. caught up with Lauren Boowbert moments.
ago as well. Here's what she was saying. She's not officially conceding it. Let's. play this clip. >> CNN's called your Ricks. >> Yeah. >> But you still feel like. >> you think I'm Listen to CNN. >> You still think you got a shot? >> No. No. No. So, listen. Yes. Uh, the fat. lady ain't saying song yet. Okay. So, um, anyway, we have thousands of ballots. that are being cured. Those are rejected. ballots and those are being cured. They'll be counted Friday. Um, there's. also military and overseas ballots that. are still coming in. So, there's. thousands of ballots. Um, you know, and.
if it if it changes the outcome, it. changes the outcome. And if not, we'll. accept the decision. >> And here is Democrat Eileen Licker. declaring victory in her race, even. though Lauren Boowbert has not. officially tapped out yet. Play this. clip. >> There are going to be people around the. country who hear about this race in. large part due to the national. prominence of Congressman Boowbert, who. held the seat previously, and they are. going to say, "What happened in. Colorado's fourth congressional. district?" And a lot of people are going. to have takes on that. What is your.
take? What happened? >> So my take is that people um people are. hungry for servant leaders. You know, people are hungry for people who. understand what I've always said this. job is about. I've always said that it's. pretty clear to me. The job description. is in the title, representative. The. job's not about me. It's about the. people of the district. It's about the. idea that they want someone who's going. to actually show up for them, who's. going to actually serve them, who's. going to put the the needs of the people. of the district above their own. And and.
that is what I've always said that I. want to do that. I spent 34 years doing. it in uniform. I'm I'm ready to deliver. for people here. And I think um that's. the message. Uh if you you have to you. have to instill trust in people. You. have to be transparent with them. You. have to talk to them. You have to show. up for them. And you have to listen to. them. And then you have to serve them. And that is what I am determined to do. >> I mean, the race is called Lauren. Boowbert lost. What are we even talking.
about here? And then let me share this. with you over here. This is Richard. Ojada over here, major. He's a retired. major in the military. And he said that. my wife Kelly got gave me hand. sanitizers with all these politicians. around. I got to make sure my hands are. sanitized. Shaking all of these hands. Here's what he had to say. Let's play. this clip. >> Richard, you're going to be meeting a. lot of politicians this week. You. bringing anything to keep yourself. prepared? >> I actually am. I am bringing hand.
sanitizer. because not everybody's hands are clean. Now, I want to bring in the interview I. did moments ago with Democratic Congress. member elect Richard Ojada. Uh, veteran, incredible guy. Let's bring let's bring. in this interview right over here. Now, I want to bring in Congressman. Elect Oha, retired major Oha, Congressman elect. Great to see you over.
there. Winning big in North Carolina's. ninth congressional district, defeating. the MAGA Republican incumbent Richard. Hudson, who actually led the entire. Republican House strategy. You took down. the MAGA Republican in charge of that. and you've come out swinging. Congressman, you posted first Hegzip. then Homeman belt to ass hold them. accountable. Then today you said that's. the philosophy right there, launching.
the new belt to ass congressman from. North Carolina. Talk to us about that. Congressman, >> hey, look, I I didn't uh, you know, make. it to Congress to come up here and allow. things to just go unnoticed. You know, we absolutely need to hold these people. accountable. I think it's time for us to. impeach people like Pete Hegth and RFK. Jr. Uh, but when it comes to Donald. Trump, what I would like to do is I. would like to investigate him thoroughly. and let America watch because if we.
impeach Donald Trump, they're going to. martyr him. But if we investigate him, January 6, classified documents, Epstein. files, and let the American people watch. all of it, then finally, I believe we. will finally be able to wake people up. in this country. You're someone who. doesn't hesitate to speak their mind for. those who knew you before you ran. And. right now, you're just calling it like. it is. Talk to us about what people can. expect from you now representing North. Carolina's ninth and just being there on. Capitol Hill. Yeah, it's it's time for.
us to, you know, start doing things for. the American people, for the. workingclass people. Uh it's time for us. to start putting money in their pockets. and stop giving every single penny that. we find in and shoving it into the. pockets of somebody who has more money. than they could spend in a thousand. lifetimes. It's time for us to stop. caring about the billionaires so much. and start caring about the people that. wake up every morning, put on their work. clothes, and bust their humps to feed. their families because those are the. people that I'm working for. talk about your background in the.
military, how that's informed your run. for this congressional seat and now that. you're there, there's clearly a lot of. oversight needed into this catastrophic. war in Iran. Now, you've been into. combat, you've seen what war actually. looks like up front. So, talk to us. about that. >> So, the first thing I want people to. understand is that in the military, when. you are told you're going to be. deploying to a combat zone, there's. training that is involved. And it's not. just training for the soldiers, it's.
also training for the families. And you. know, this deployment, this com this. war, you know, they people in on Fort. Bragg, North Carolina, a brigade combat. team kissed their w their their spouses. and their children, and they left and. they thought, "We'll be back in a week. just a show of force." And when they got. there, they were told it's a year-long. deployment. Those families were not. prepared for this. And that is. absolutely unacceptable. unacceptable. Uh people deserve better than that. And.
that is an absolute fact. And it bothers. me that we have so many people that like. to rattle the drums of war and they have. no idea what the ramifications are. They. don't look at what what it's going to do. to the soldier, sailor, airman, marine, and they don't think about what it's. going to do to their families. And. that's exactly what's been going on. And. and then there have been a lot of things. that have been done wrong that need to. be addressed. You know, we don't kill. people uh in the Caribbean.
and just think it's no big deal. We. don't we don't bomb a school that kills. 160 plus little girls and just say that. that's that's water under the bridge. It's not. Crimes have been committed. Now, I don't think we should have been. involved in this catastrophic war in the. first place, but even just from a. military tactical perspective, like. let's say you're a neocon and you wanted. it, like which I I vehemently disagree. with, but when you have to look at it, I.
mean, I want to get your perspective. just from a military tactical. perspective. We now have moved an. aircraft carrier group out of the. Pacific. We don't have any there. anymore. We have these two aircraft. carriers that are a thousand kilometers. deep into the Arabian Sea. Our navy is. being basically used as a way to, I. don't know, help transport oil a little. bit. And then tankers get struck in the. straight of Hormuz while the admiral. who's in charge of Sencom is doing a. podcast about eating French fries and. playing basketball that I saw them post.
And while Donald Trump is out there. saying, "Is it going to be a deal? If. I'm going to blow him up, I'm going to. blow him up. I'm going to see." And this. unpredictability to me, this utter lack. of leadership, you know, I'm used to. seeing military leaders who are. nonpartisan, who are deeply serious. people who are just boom boom here, here. strategy, and I'm just seeing like um it. looks like a failed Trump casino, not. our proud military. And I hear a lot of. that from our military family member.
base who watches the show. Look, you know, at the end of the day, anybody who has graduated from the. command general staff college or the war. college would know that anything that. you do with Iran would automatically. shut down the straight of Hormuz. You. know, this was Pete Hegth and Donald. Trump moving on something. And it. bothered me that at least I mean, I. guess I guess senior leaders probably. told them that it was wrong and those. those are the ones that lost their jobs. potentially. But I mean this was this.
was absolutely. the wrong way to go. Everything about. this was wrong. And look at what it has. done to this country. People can't. afford to put groceries on in their in. their refrigerators. People can't afford. to put gas in their cars. Farmers are. losing their farms because they can't. they can't operate their machinery. because diesel was too high. You know. this, somebody should have thought about. this because anybody who has anything. between their ears would have known that. if you hit Iran, the straight of Hormuz.
is going to shut down. And now Iran says. they're not going to open it. As long as. Donald Trump is sitting in that seat, they're not going to open it. And people. in this country are struggling greatly. >> Talk to us about your congressional race. because, you know, first off, I've known. you for a very long time. You and I have. known each other since early summer of. 2020. And when you ran and everybody. doubted you, you would text me and you. would say, "Ben, I'm going to win this. race." And you would keep me updated.
from time to time. And I'd respond with, you know, I'm rooting for you. Or an. emoji or let's go, you know, and then it. started picking up momentum. You're. like, "I told you, Ben, don't. underestimate it. This campaign is. growing." And you weren't just running. against anybody. I mean, again, you were. running against incumbent Richard. Hudson, who led the entire House. strategy for Congress and you you won. that. Talk to us about the race and now. being there today, how surreal it must.
feel. >> Yeah. So, uh, you know, 22 months ago, we knew that if we were going to take on. the chair of the NRCC, we were going to. have to go non-stop. And I'm going to. tell you right now, for 22 months, we. have went non-stop. Three to five events. a day, no weekends off. And that's what. we did. And you know, we showed up. We. put boots on the ground. And that was. the big thing there is I went to areas. and told people that didn't even know. what Richard Hudson looked like because. Richard Hudson was a chair of the NRCC. He spent all his time traveling the.
country raising money for the Republican. party. And 18 months ago, they thought. that they was going to win this race. without having to spend a single penny. And then the last month and a half, you. got Republicans that are angered because. they're not getting any money. and the. money that is coming in is going to try. to protect the chair of the NRCC. So, uh, you know, we did everything right. And, uh, we knew we knew that if we did. that, we could win this race. And I'll. tell you, it was pretty tough because on. election night, we started with a 30,000.
vote lead and we were like, "Oh, this. will be over in in 30 minutes." And then. it went to 17,000. Then it went to. 11,000. Then it went to 7,000. And it. was at 5,500. And I'm sitting there at. my desk and I'm thinking to myself, "We've worked so hard." And remember, my. father was upstairs in the bed and I. thought to myself, I don't want to ever. have to walk in there and tell him, "Dad, we we fell short because he has. been my biggest fan." And he passed away. two nights ago, three nights ago. But,
uh, we were sitting there and I started. looking at where are the votes that are. still waiting to come in and I looked. and it was Cumberland County. That's. that's Fort Bragg. That's that's that's. that's Fagatville, North Carolina. and. them's my people. So, I knew right then. I said to myself, "He can't catch me. There's no way he can catch me." And. then all of a sudden, the side door. opened and and a person on my staff. said, "It's official. You can announce. victory." And it went wild. And I went. upstairs and I I I leaned into my father.
and I said, "Hey pops, we did it. We. made it to Congress." And he had the. biggest smile. And I'm sure you saw that. video. It went viral. But you know what? I got that video for the rest of my. life. And I know for a fact that my dad. died a very proud man because he saw his. son make it to Congress. So I will take. that with me forever. Uh and it's been. amazing and it's been a whirlwind. And. I'm now here in Washington DC for. freshman orientation. We are just now, you know, we are finishing up day one of.
the orientation and it's drinking from a. fire hose. But it is just so humbling. that, you know, last night I was sitting. on the House floor and even though me. and and and Mike Johnson probably don't. see eye to eye on anything, when we were sitting there, he said, "Where's Richard Oetta?" And I raised my. hand and he said to me, he said, he said. this in front of everybody. He said, "I. lost my father three days before I. become a member of Congress." And at.
that moment, you know, I can't hate him. We can disagree, but I. can't hate him. That man spoke my. father's name on the house floor, and. I'm forever grateful for that. Very few. people can say that. >> Talk to us if you can. A lot of our. audience would have seen that video of. your father, but just to remind our. audience maybe who haven't seen it, what. happened, you know, he was literally. hanging on. his remaining days to see.
his son win. He was your role model. You. told them we win and then he passed. away. He was literally hanging on to. life for remind our viewers who may not. have seen it. >> So my father was diagnosed with. Parkinson's six years ago and they told. us four years. So we got an extra two. years with my father. And uh every. single day when I come home on this. campaign, I had to sit down and tell. him, "Did you give a speech? Who did you. talk to?" You know, and I he just wanted. to to to hear that. He wanted to be a. part of that. And I really do believe.
that he held on. I believe he held on to. life just long enough to see his son. make it. Uh and and I'll tell you, you. know, it's it's so humbling. Uh before. he passed, he was holding my sister's. hand and my sister leaned in and he was. completely, you know, there was no. emotion. He was for the for 24 hours, he. was pretty much out of it. But Santana. leaned forward and she said, "Don't you. worry about mama. Richie and I Richie.
and we were going to take care of her.". And he squeezed her hand hard. And then. she left there and went into the. restroom. When she come out and sit. down, the nurse come in and said, "I got. to check his vitals and said, "He's. gone." And I really believe that seeing. his son make it to Congress and knowing. that we're going to take care of a mom, he's okay. >> Congressman Richard Oja, thank you so. much for joining us. We appreciate you. and congrats on the big victory. >> Thank you everybody. Hit subscribe.
