C-SPAN CALLER: What is your plan to fix Obamacare?

MIKE JOHNSON: Great question. There's a lot of improvement that's needed. Obamacare did not do what was promised. We gotta fix that. In the big beautiful bill we reformed Medicaid.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

1. Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison into the president’s already-poisoned brain.

The irony and the hypocrisy:
Texas has a bigger violent crime problem than Illinois, with a violent crime rate of 389 offenses per 100,000 people in 2024 compared to Illinois' rate of 289 offenses per 100,000 people. Recent studies also rank Texas as 48th out of 50 states for overall safety. .

European leaders are so paralyzed by infantile fear they won't shoot down russian drones, won't block the shadow fleet, won't confiscate russian assets and hand them over to Ukraine – they won't do anything to defend their citizens from the russian terrorist state.

They’re stripping your rights one by one, and every time, they wave migrants around like a boogeyman.

Next thing you know, your rights are gone, your crops rot in the field, your job’s gone, your healthcare’s gone, all stolen through fear. When will you wake up?

Good morning ppl! It’s day 9 of the GOP shitdown & I have a special Spam in the Gears to start your morning with. Speaker Johnson will be live on C-Span @ 8:30 ET to take questions over the shitdown. It would be a shame if ppl called in and only asked about the #Epstein files. Numbers below to call.
