MAGA Mike SHUTS DOWN House for 2 WEEKS as GOP REVOLTS!!!

Have you lost control of the conference? >> No, sir. We have full control of the. conference. This is the same thing we've. been doing. >> MAGA Mike Johnson has indeed lost. control of the House of Representatives, and he has lost control over his own. party that just revolted against him. And MAGA Mike Johnson just shut down the. House of Representatives until at least. July 13th. So, at least a 2-week. shutdown right now because the MAGA. Republicans refused to pass a rule which.

would allow pieces of legislation and. other matters before the House of. Representatives to come to the floor. So, MAGA Mike Johnson just decided, "All. right, we're going to shut down the. House of Representatives once again.". You had MAGA Republican Congress members. like Luna, Miller, Harris, Burchett, Burlison, Roy, Fine, Crane, Spartz, Alf. Turner. You had Thomas Massie, Boebert, and Scalise all vote against the rule. And so, now the House of Representatives.

is indeed shut down. Now, Manu Raju was. asking MAGA Mike Johnson about just. having zero control over the House. heading into the midterms as the MAGA. Republicans in generic ballots are. trailing Democrats somewhere between 10. and 20 points. Watch what MAGA Mike. Johnson says to Manu Raju. Play this. clip. >> for us to stop our very important. progress forward from House Republicans. because some Senate Democrats are. refusing to do their job. That's where. we are. That's the reality of it. This.

is life with a small margin, small. majority, and we'll work through it as. we always. >> going to come back and try and do this. >> We're going to do it again. We're going. to. >> How do you How do you. >> This week. >> Have you lost con- Have you lost control. of the conference? >> No, sir. We have full control of the. conference. This is the same thing we've. been doing the whole time. We have the. smallest margin in US history. We're. nearing an election. Um people get very. emotional about things, and sometimes. they make irrational decisions. So, I. don't I don't hold grudges against. anybody. I just got to get all the team. members back working in the same. direction. Same song, different verse.

Same job, different verse. >> the president been leaning on these. guys, too? Has the president. >> not involved, no. >> He's not involved. Does he need to get. involved? >> I suspect he's going to be very. frustrated by this. >> Are these Are these members making it. harder for you to keep the majority? >> No. We're going to win the majority and. I'll have a bigger margin and won't have. these problems. >> What do you have to say to these guys? >> Then before Maga Mike Johnson was. running away there for Manu Raju earlier. in the day before he had to officially. shut down the house, Manu Raju was. asking Maga Mike, "So, Donald Trump now.

wants you to pass legislation to ban. birthright citizenship after the Supreme. Court's ruling which upheld birthright. citizenship of the United States. Constitution. So, Maga Mike, is that. going to be your priority right now as. Donald Trump refuses to sign the housing. affordability bill which was a. bipartisan bill. Now you're going to be. shutting down the House of. Representatives. Your priority was to. push a voter suppression bill and now is.

it going to be to pass legislation to. try to ban birthright citizenship even. though the Supreme Court upheld the. constitutionality under the 14th. Amendment of birthright citizenship? Watch Maga Mike Johnson play this clip. >> The president posted that it's time for. Congress to move to end the birthright. citizenship and that a constitutional. amendment is not necessary. Do you agree. with him and will this you this be your. top priority? >> Um. It certainly is time for us to do. everything that's possible. I don't know.

um what that is. We The opinion just. came out. I've been so busy today I. haven't even had a chance to read it. yet. >> a focus that you want Is this a focus. you want to have in the midterms to. focus to end birthright citizenship? >> I I Look, I think it's clearly an issue. uh that merits the attention of. Congress. I don't know what the remedy. is, how to define it, or the timeline. It would be premature for me to uh. project that, but I will tell you that. it's a big concern with the American. people because it's been abused. So, we'll. >> And Tom Kean, can he run for re-election. given the way he handled this and didn't. disclose this for to his voters?

>> If If someone If Let me just say this. about about Tom Kean, if someone is. going to suggest that he is ineligible. to be uh. re-elected by a big margin just because. he has had to deal with an illness that. as he noted almost 50 million Americans. have dealt with at some time in their. life. I I think that's that's a really. unfair question. Um he he uh I think he. addressed it appropriately on the floor. I told him I sent him a note as soon as. he walked out the floor and said we're. in your corner and we're behind you. 100%. He has a long service individually. and in his family of of uh noble public.

service to the people of New Jersey. I. think his constituents understand that. I think they're going to send a message. and send him back and let him continue. doing the great work that he's done all. these years for his for his. constituents. >> have disclosed it earlier? And all MAGA Republicans seem to just be. running away from either Manu Raju or. from the Midas Touch Network reporters. on Capitol Hill. You had MAGA Republican. Congress member Tom Kean, who showed up. after not being in the House of.

Representatives since about March. without explanation. And then yesterday. he said the reason that he hasn't been. working is because of depression, he. says. And so he didn't show up because. of depression, which by the way is a. serious matter, but he's been not. disclosing that since March, raises a. lot of red flags. And here he is, MAGA. Republican, running away from Manu Raju. asking him, "Why wouldn't you just tell. people earlier if it was depression like. back in March? And do you think your.

constituents should have confidence in. you?" Here, play this clip. >> Mr. Kean, why don't you just address. what happened off the bat. when you first were diagnosed with this. condition? Is there a reason for not saying right. away? Mr. Kean, are you running for. re-election? Can you run for. re-election? Did your constituents deserve to know. earlier?

>> And then we had all these mega. Republicans just piecing out, running. away. They're on vacation for another 2. weeks now as the House of. Representatives is shut down. Mega. Republican Congressman Grothman ran away. from the Midas Touch Networks Pablo. Manriquez. Play this clip. >> Congressman, real quick, what are House. Republicans doing this week on. affordability?

Nothing? >> Mega Republican Congressman Gale ran. away from the Midas Touch Network. We. were just asking him basic questions. The question was this. It wasn't a trick. question. What are House Republicans. doing this week on affordability? What. are you doing on affordability? They run. away from us. Play this clip. >> Congressman, real quick, what are House. Republicans doing this week for. affordability? >> Hey Mega Republican Congressman Hern,

what are you doing on affordability? Play this clip. >> Congressman, real quick, what are House. Republicans doing this week on. affordability? Nothing? >> If you're anything like me, a lot of the. information you take in every day. doesn't come from sitting down and. reading a report. It comes from. conversations, interviews, meetings, phone calls, and discussions with people. who know something you don't. The. problem is those conversations move. fast, and it's easy to forget an. important detail later. That's exactly.

why I've been using Plaud. Plaud creates. these AI-powered wearable devices that. help capture, organize, and recall. information from real-world. conversations and moments. So, whether. it's an interview, a meeting, a phone. call, or just a voice memo, it captures. the details while you stay focused on. the conversation. Afterward, everything. is searchable, organized, and easy to. reference. It supports transcription in. 112 languages, is trusted by more than 2. million users worldwide, and is built. with enterprise-grade privacy and.

compliance standards. I have the Plaud. Note Pin S here. It's a small wearable. device that follows me throughout the. day. So, whether I'm preparing for the. show, discussing breaking news, or. organizing thoughts between recordings, it lets me capture important details. without constantly reaching for my. phone. It's made my workflow a lot. easier because I can stay engaged in the. conversation instead of worrying about. taking notes. And it even helps me with. the basic stuff I'm bad at, like. remembering people's names. Say I'm in a. meeting and a lot of people I just met. are speaking, it'll organize all the.

information. I can easily look up who is. who, remind myself of the action items, so I could actually be present in the. moment and be sure that none of the. information discussed gets away from me. because I could always look it up later. And there's a bunch of ways to wear it. There's a magnetic pin, a clip, a. lanyard to wear as a necklace like the. one I have on now, a wristband. It's. super cool and so helpful. If your day. is driven by conversations, interviews, analysis, and staying informed, Plaud. helps make sure nothing important gets.

Congressman Troy Nehls stopped to speak. with the Midas Touch Network's Pablo. Manriquez when the House was officially. shut down as he was leaving to go back. home to uh Texas. He was asked by Pablo.

Manriquez of the Midas Touch Network the. same question we asked the other people. How do House Republicans make the case. that you're fighting for affordability. when you go back to your district? Here's what MAGA Republican. Congressmember Troy Nehls had to say. Play this clip. >> Congressman Nehls, how do House. Republicans make the case that you're. fighting for affordability when you go. back to your districts? >> Affordability, what are you talking. about? >> Well, affordability is the big. >> I'm going to go to the mall and I'm. going to well over the fourth. I'm going to get me a couple of big.

lobster tails. I'm going to get me some. nice ribeyes. I'm going to sit in my. backyard with my family, my neighbors. And we're going to be. enjoying the fourth, celebrating 250. years, the birthday. We're going to be celebrating the. greatest president in my lifetime, Donald J. Trump. Maybe watching fireworks. Won't be up. here. It's going to be too hot, right? And I'm in bed at 11:00. I heard the. fireworks ain't going off till 11:00. Eastern on the 4th of July. I'll. probably have to sleep through that one. But listen, everybody understands.

You're going to see a little increase in. energy prices cuz of Iran. I mean, come. on. People aren't stupid. You realize. that when you have a conflict with Iran. But I think in the end, the short-term. increase in some of the costs of of of. of energy, you know, gasoline and stuff, is temporary. But President Trump has. made it very clear to these companies, don't be gouging. No price gouging. I. mean, energy what? Oil was at 69 bucks. the other day, 72 today. I mean, prices got to come down. Don't take. advantage of the American people. To me, it's almost criminal.

>> You think the 60% of Americans. >> So we got to do that. We have to do. that. And I think. that that the the overall goal and. objective is to make sure Iran never has. nuclear weapons. So. I'm okay with the with the with the. increase in fuel because you knew it was. going to happen with obviously with oil. and the strain and everything, but it's. a temporary it's a temporary issue. >> You think the 60% of Americans who are. living paycheck to paycheck can afford. lobster tails and ribeyes and all the. like? >> Maybe not. Maybe the maybe the 60% of. America don't work as hard as I do.

either. I mean, I don't know. >> And then MAGA Republican Congressman. Troy Nehls wasn't done there yet. He. said what we really need to do in this. country is he said, "We need to put a. big bedsheet over the Statue of Liberty. and we need a 10-year moratorium. Put a. big sheet over the head of the Statue of. Liberty." Here, play this clip. >> The The fact of the matter is this. Is that if the American people. are truly truly going to enjoy the 4th.

of July, right? You have to love our. country, number one. You have to love our country. There's a. lot of people There's a lot of people. There's a lot of people Can Can I tell. you something? This is what we got to. do. We got to put a bedsheet, a big bedsheet, over the Statue of Liberty. 10 years. 10-year moratorium on. immigration. No more We have to get this. under control. The amount of people that. are in this country, we don't even know. who they are. The.

tens of millions that came through in. the previous administration, we don't. know who they are. The people over here. on visas, you know, you signed a little. deal that says, "I come over here for 5. years and then I'm going to believe.". They're overstaying their visas. The. fact of the matter is, we got to have a. 10-year moratorium on immigration. So, we got to have a freeze. Put a bedsheet. over the Statue of Liberty. Instead of. having a bedsheet, because she's going. to need to go to sleep for a while. She. got to go to sleep for a while cuz we're. not letting anybody in anymore. >> Well, some people think a bedsheet is a. good idea. >> Well, the I'm not saying it's bad. What. I'm trying to say is is that instead of. having a torch, maybe it needs a stop.

sign. Maybe we need a little bit of a. stop sign. >> Well, so I guess if it was a report. card, what would What grade would you. give Donald Trump on affordability? >> An An An affordability, an A. With. everything he's dealing with. He's. dealing a lot with the previous. administration too and all the the. stupid things that they did. So, no, I. give Donald Trump an A and an A plus. I'm celebrating the 4th of July and the. Americans should appreciate the fact. we've got the greatest president in my. lifetime in the White House, Donald. Trump. >> Okay. What about Maga Republican Elsie? Hey Maga Republican Congress member.

Elsie, what are you going to do for. affordability? And then he's like, "Um, you're going to have to ask the people. who are in charge.". It's you. You guys control every branch. of government. Maga Republicans, you. control every branch of government. Here, play this clip. >> Mr. Elsby, how do you House Republicans. make the case for affordability when you. go home to your districts now? >> Uh, you'll have to ask the people who. made this happen, and I'm not one of.

them. >> Well, you have a trifecta. House, Senate, and. White House. >> So, then we spoke with Democratic. Congresswoman Balint, and we asked her, "What did you just make of what what the. hell just happened? You have all these. Maga Republican Congress members just. running out, shutting down the House, shutting down the people's house. What. do you make of it?" Here, play this. clip. >> Congresswoman, what do you make of. Republican uh Speaker of the House Mike. Johnson deciding to cut and run yet. again uh before the week is over?

>> Okay. I have my I have my team totaled up the. number of days that he has sent us home. early since I've been in Congress, and. it's up It was up to 74 days, but now he. got out a few more days. It's absurd. They wanted all the power, and they. don't know what to do with it. They. can't seem to get a rule passed on the. floor. It's It's an embarrassment, honestly. Just an embarrassment. >> And speaking of embarrassments, what do. you make of no one showing up to this. uh 250th anniversary party that Trump. has been throwing on the mall? >> So, look,

it could have been the most amazing. celebration. Amazing. If you did not make it a. hyper-partisan. event. If you had just continued with. the folks who had been working on. America 250 to make it something that. all Americans could come together. around. But, no, he had to poison it, which is what he does over and over and. over again, just like the reflecting. pool. >> Okay. Thank you, Congressman. Have a. good break. >> And then, bring in J.D. Vance, Mr.

Gaslighter himself, and J.D. Vance is. like, "Okay, you know what I really wish. what wish I wish we could do, but the. Democrats these these Democrats, they're. not going to let this ever happen. I. would love to see Democrats and. Republicans working together on. something like housing, on something. like housing affordability. Really? I. mean, this is what I mean. I mean, these. MAGAs, these J.D. Vances, these vile. creatures, they treat people like. they're so dumb. The Democrats and the.

Republicans came together this week, bipartisan housing affordability bill. that Donald Trump refused to sign. That. literally took place, but Donald Trump. said, "It's a big yawn. Why would I. support a housing affordability bill?". The same way under actually former. President Biden's term, the Democrats. worked with Republicans under Biden to. come up with a bipartisan immigration. bill, and Donald Trump ordered all the. MAGA Republicans, "Kill that immigration.

bill. If we solve the problem with. compassion, with dignity, and with. strong borders all combined, then it. could hurt us in the elections," the. MAGA said. "So, we got to kill the. immigration bill so we can run on the. problem. We got to run on pain and. fear." That's literally what happened. here. But, listen to what J.D. Vance. said. Play this clip. >> more momentum that direction from the. Democrat Party. Frankly, Laura, I would. love it if Democrats were willing, you. know, not that they are going to agree. with Republicans all the time, but if.

they were willing to work with us on. lowering housing prices, on lowering gas. prices, on actually making the lives of. American citizens better, you know, we. could have some real bipartisan. compromise. That's not what they're. talking about. They're talking about. abolishing the the and letting criminals. rule our cities. That is a fundamental. transformation of the Democrat Party. It's very bad for our country. It's bad. for Democrats. And it just drives home. why we have to keep these people from. getting close to power. >> But as the MAGA Republicans were leaving.

and they shut down the house, Steve. Scalise, who's basically one of the top. MAGA Republicans in the house, other. than MAGA Mike, he's basically the top. of leadership. He goes, "Folks, we may be leaving, we may be going home, but we're in a golden age. So, everybody's happy and all of our. constituents are rich, gas prices are. down 50 cents, everybody's doing. amazing." Here's what he has to say, play this clip. >> On the other side, uh this is a country. that's actually. experiencing a golden age again. I mean,

gas prices are down 50 cents from where. they were just a few weeks ago and. continuing to go down. Affordability is. back again. And Democrats are upset. about that because they wanted it as a. talking point for November. >> And this is the moment where MAGA Mike. learned that the Supreme Court. found that birthright citizenship is. found in the 14th Amendment of the. Constitution. And watch what he watch. what he goes. He goes, "Well, I I guess. that's a strict textualist and. originalist approach." Here's what he.

says, play this clip. >> jurisdiction of the United States and. our citizens at birth under the 14th. Amendment citizenship clause. >> What's your reaction to that? >> Well, uh. >> This is real time. >> I need to read the opinion, okay? But uh. obviously that's I mean, you could say. that's a textualist, originalist view. Uh however, I I do think that um this has been. grossly abused in recent years, okay? >> And finally, here's MAGA Mike.

when he was asked like, "So, why didn't Donald Trump sign the housing. bill?" And MAGA Mike's like, "You know, he's very busy, he's got a lot going on, busy guy. I'm going [snorts] to have to explain it. to him. Very complicated stuff here. Oh, that's what you're That's what you're. going with? You're going to play this. clip. >> is the president has a lot going on and. I I think it's safe to say he's not read. through every line of that piece of. legislation. It's a lot to it and and a. lot of great things and he and I have. spoken about it quite a bit. He.

understands all the dynamics here. What. he was saying and legislation. But what. he was saying is in comparison to. ensuring election integrity, which is. which is now represented by Save America. Act. Um. nothing is as important because you. cannot maintain a constitutional. republic unless you have free and fair. elections. A government of, by, and for. the people is ultimately and. foundationally dependent upon that. That's what the president is saying. We. all agree with that. And by the way, so. do the American people. Now, that's not. to say that there are not also. incredibly important issues and the cost.

of living and affordability is among. them. It's top of mind. I've spent 6. hours in the Oval Office. and the just the last few days. I think. 4 hours on Thursday, over 2 hours. yesterday. We talked about all this in. great length. The president certainly. understands the importance of affordable. housing. As he's noted yesterday, he. knows as much about housing as anybody. because that in many respects was part. of his portfolio in. >> Well, that was, folks, what was going on. in the House of Representatives as MAGA. Mike Johnson shuts down the House again.

2 weeks, it's closed. They don't do. work. They're pathetic. Truly the worst. And they They're all going home and Troy. Nehls will have his lobster, whatever. the hell. he's doing. These people. truly hate you. These MAGAs truly hate you. I I'm I'm I don't mean I mean just being. blunt. They hate you. They hate America. They hate this country. They hate your. happiness. They hate your family. They. hate.

They're haters. They're losers and they're haters. Just. I say that objectively. Go ahead, and Let me know what you. think. Let's get to 7 million. subscribers. >> New Midas merch.
