Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mama's, what
- 0:02Speaker 1: do you think of the job Mike Johnson is doing
- 0:04Speaker 1: as speaker?
- 0:05Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's and joining us now
- 0:21Speaker 2: we're American mama Terry Netderville. All right, So we are
- 0:25Speaker 2: in Mike Johnson's home district. We've known Mike Johnson since
- 0:28Speaker 2: before he was even in the state legislature in Louisiana.
- 0:32Speaker 2: How long have you known Mike Mike Johnson?
- 0:34Speaker 3: Not as long as you Okay, we have the same
- 0:37Speaker 3: circle of friends, right, but just in the last few years.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Okay, so since been on the show and stuff like that. Okay,
- 0:43Speaker 1: uh So Mike is a Speaker of the House and
- 0:47Speaker 1: he's had a very difficult job. President Trump said he
- 0:49Speaker 1: probably has the toughest job in all of washing with Trump.
- 0:52Speaker 1: How do you there was the time, you know, last
- 0:54Speaker 1: last year, people were like, oh, we gotta, we got
- 0:56Speaker 1: to get Mike out of there. We got a you know,
- 0:57Speaker 1: no confidence vote in the speaker and a lot of
- 0:59Speaker 1: concerre mad at him or whatever. How do you think
- 1:03Speaker 1: he's doing a speak at house?
- 1:04Speaker 3: You know, that actually baffled me because if you do
- 1:07Speaker 3: know him at all. He is so grounded, he is
- 1:10Speaker 3: so into his in the word right. He is a believer,
- 1:14Speaker 3: and he is somebody that when you listen to him speak.
- 1:17Speaker 3: Even before all of this, I thought he was so measured,
- 1:20Speaker 3: he was so clean. Whenever he's out with reporters and
- 1:22Speaker 3: they're yelling at him, this is you know, even four
- 1:24Speaker 3: years ago and they were yelling. He did such a
- 1:27Speaker 3: beautiful job of remaining very calm and you didn't send
- 1:32Speaker 3: any bitterness or you know, contrition or anything like that.
- 1:36Speaker 3: But I will tell you this, I've been so he
- 1:39Speaker 3: makes me so proud that he's from Louisiana.
- 1:41Speaker 4: Really he is.
- 1:43Speaker 3: You know, he talks about how we're the Party of
- 1:45Speaker 3: common Sense. Yes, bringing that back. I was listening to
- 1:48Speaker 3: a you know, I listened to my different podcast. One
- 1:50Speaker 3: of them is the guys on the Ruthless Podcast.
- 1:53Speaker 4: I love them. I love Megan Kelly.
- 1:54Speaker 3: I listened to her every day so recently he was
- 1:57Speaker 3: on both of them, and I what struck me and
- 2:01Speaker 3: I think is so phenomenal. You did this when you're
- 2:03Speaker 3: a weather man. He does such a beautiful job of
- 2:07Speaker 3: relaying the truth and the news that's coming out of Washington,
- 2:11Speaker 3: d C. In layman terms. He's I'm able to understand
- 2:16Speaker 3: what he's you know, they were talking about the big,
- 2:17Speaker 3: beautiful bill and how that's kind of hard for people
- 2:20Speaker 3: to grasp. You've got Even some Republicans are like what
- 2:23Speaker 3: when he lays it out and he almost does this
- 2:27Speaker 3: thing where he's like listen, you know he he I
- 2:30Speaker 3: think he just kind of diminishes the CNNs of the
- 2:33Speaker 3: world that are trying to fear monger gaslight us about it.
- 2:36Speaker 4: He's like, don't listen to that.
- 2:37Speaker 3: You know this, we're the Party of common sense, he said,
- 2:39Speaker 3: were they want to restore work requirements because everyone's saying,
- 2:43Speaker 3: what about Medicaid.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Oh, he's taken for Medicaid. You're gonna you're gonna kick
- 2:46Speaker 1: people off here.
- 2:48Speaker 3: And he's like, no, don't believe what they're trying to
- 2:49Speaker 3: say to you. They're just trying to get you to
- 2:51Speaker 3: be against it. What they're saying is if you are
- 2:55Speaker 3: on the public wagon, this was his quote, if you're
- 2:57Speaker 3: on the public wagon, you need to help pull it.
- 2:59Speaker 3: So his point was you need to work. There's going
- 3:02Speaker 3: to be like a twenty hour requirement or a training program,
- 3:06Speaker 3: or you can volunteer for your community. But if you're
- 3:09Speaker 3: going to be on medicaid and you're going to take
- 3:11Speaker 3: government money, we need to see that you're doing.
- 3:14Speaker 4: Something in return to earn it.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Because right now he's saying that they're able bodied young
- 3:19Speaker 3: men on Medicaid that can be working, they can be
- 3:22Speaker 3: doing their own thing. That makes sense to me, that's
- 3:23Speaker 3: common sense to common sense.
- 3:25Speaker 4: So then he says, you know.
- 3:26Speaker 3: He talks about the this might be the big make
- 3:30Speaker 3: or break moment for Trump's second term, and they do
- 3:32Speaker 3: feel like they're going to get it all. But he
- 3:34Speaker 3: also has a sense of humor. When Megan Kelly brought
- 3:36Speaker 3: up Jasmine Crockett, she's a.
- 3:40Speaker 4: Senator. No, she's a representative outside of Texas.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Yeah, she's from out of Dallas area and she is.
- 3:47Speaker 3: In this.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I think this actually sets work. I think she's the
- 3:50Speaker 1: dumbest member of the Democrat Party in Congress. It used
- 3:54Speaker 1: to be Sheila Jackson Lee out of Houston. Yes, I
- 3:56Speaker 1: don't know what it is about Texas creating really dumb Democrats,
- 3:59Speaker 1: but my god.
- 4:00Speaker 4: It's embarrassing.
- 4:01Speaker 3: And she didn't sound like this when she first got
- 4:03Speaker 3: into it, so I think she kind of gets snuckered
- 4:05Speaker 3: into something.
- 4:06Speaker 4: But when Megan brought this up to him. He said,
- 4:09Speaker 4: he said, I don't know. Jasmine Crockett.
- 4:11Speaker 3: To have the platform to talk all the times the
- 4:13Speaker 3: best gift to us. She can be the face of
- 4:15Speaker 3: this part of the Democrat Party and lead She and
- 4:18Speaker 3: AOC can lead their party into oblivion. He's so right
- 4:21Speaker 3: about that. Every time she opens her mouth, you have
- 4:24Speaker 3: people going what. But here's what's interesting, Stephen. So I've
- 4:28Speaker 3: said this for years and years. The black community they
- 4:32Speaker 3: have a voice, and people listen. More and more and
- 4:36Speaker 3: more are coming on X, coming through all these social
- 4:39Speaker 3: media platforms, and when it comes to Jasmine Crockett, they
- 4:42Speaker 3: are stoning her with their words. They are like, woman,
- 4:46Speaker 3: what are you saying? You're making us look ridiculous. Stop it.
- 4:49Speaker 3: You don't make sense, you have zero common sense. But
- 4:52Speaker 3: what it's doing is it's simply waking people up that
- 4:56Speaker 3: maybe didn't know the other side because they're in this
- 4:58Speaker 3: bubble where they only watch in they only watch that
- 5:02Speaker 3: other one always get yeah SNBC. They're only watching that,
- 5:06Speaker 3: so they don't really know. Well, they're waking up thanks
- 5:10Speaker 3: to her. They're waking up going wait, what is she
- 5:12Speaker 3: like when she said you know Trump? When when Trump
- 5:15Speaker 3: uh did the bomb on on a end. Yes, and
- 5:19Speaker 3: she says they should have talked to me. I should
- 5:22Speaker 3: have been the last person. I should have been the
- 5:24Speaker 3: one to say yes or no, at least given a shot,
- 5:26Speaker 3: given the chance to tell them what I think.
- 5:29Speaker 1: A a representative in the House representatives not even a
- 5:35Speaker 1: committee leader.
- 5:36Speaker 2: She's not.
- 5:36Speaker 1: She's not the lead of any committee. She's just a
- 5:38Speaker 1: fairly lowly House representation.
- 5:40Speaker 4: She should have been there.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Yeah, she should have been notified. She should have been
- 5:43Speaker 3: the one they should have called. That's what she said.
- 5:45Speaker 4: It's embarrassed. I'm embarrassed for her.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Yeah. But Mike Johnson is he's doing.
- 5:51Speaker 4: He makes me beam with pride. I feel like desker.
