Full Episode
Mr. Speaker, the president, over the recent press interview, would not say if he would uphold the Constitution when it comes to doing lawsuits for migrants. I'm wondering, as a constitutional expert, if you're concerned. I don't think that's exactly what he said. He said, I don't know.
He was asked about it. Is the president expected to be an expert on all Supreme Court cases? I think he'll uphold the Constitution. He's demonstrated that over and over again.
MAGA Mike Johnson walking away from reporters, MAGA Mike Johnson is once again in the hot seat. His job is on the line as there is massive infighting in the MAGA Republican Party. In that clip I just showed at the outset of this video, MAGA Mike Johnson was asked why Donald Trump say that he doesn't know if he needs to follow the Constitution, to which MAGA Mike said you can't expect Donald Trump
to know about all of those Supreme Court cases. I do. I do expect the President of the United States to know about Supreme Court cases, but more fundamentally, Maga Mike Johnson, I expect Donald Trump to know about the United States Constitution in a very, basic concept we have here in the United States called due process. But that's not why MAGA Mike Johnson is on the hot seat.
It's because he's trying to push through what Donald Trump is calling one big, beautiful bill through a reconciliation process between the House of Representatives and the Senate. And as we've reported before, under the blueprint that was originally passed by the MAGA Republicans, which calls for, in theory, trillions of dollars in cuts, those cuts are coming from Medicaid.
Those cuts are coming from education. Those cuts are coming from agriculture. Those cuts are coming from infrastructure, while the billionaires are getting massive, massive tax cuts. You know, the Congressional Budget Office came out with a report today at the request of Democrats and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Let me repeat, nonpartisan CBO analysis of various Republican plans for Medicaid spending reveals that under every scenario laid out by the GOP, millions would lose insurance. The GOP's plans would have a disproportionate impact on low-income and elderly populations. Literally millions of people would lose their health care. Because there's going to be $800 billion plus in cuts to Medicaid.
How do we know it? Because we can read their one big beautiful bill and see it. But you see what's happening right now, folks, is that the MAGA Republicans are fighting each other because they are seeing, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's almost 2026. The midterms are getting closer. Can you believe that, folks? Yes, hang in there. The midterms, before you know it, are going to be right around the corner.
And these MAGA Republican Congress members are seeing Republicans get beat in seats during special elections. They're seeing Supreme Court races in states where Democrats have won big. And they're saying, uh-oh, are we next? And the answer is yes. So they're saying, you can't cut Medicaid, you know, MAGA Mike, because if you cut Medicaid, we're definitely going to lose.
