Watch Mike Johnson Die Inside As Jake Tapper Corners Him!

Mike Johnson was on Jake Tapper's show, and to Tapper's credit, he played this Republican congressional candidate's receipts for how nasty, gross, offensive this candidate is for Mike Johnson, and Mike Johnson loves to act like, I'm just, I care about character, and I'm a Christian man, and I'm so Christian, I monitor the porn usage of my son, and I like to look at the images that he looks at. I mean, I look at the, what? And then he doesn't care when Brandon Herrera, a House candidate in Texas, says the most stuff you can imagine. Watch this. I want to ask you, you talked about some of the more extreme DSA-type candidates that Democrats have. Republicans have some candidates like that on their own. For instance, Brandon Herrera, he's a House candidate in Texas, you've endorsed him, you've fundraised for him. He's a, before he started becoming a congressional correspondent, I mean, congressional candidate, he's a YouTuber, and he has said some offensive, sexually explicit, crude things about women and children. Here's a little bit of what he said just three years ago, and I want to warn viewers that this language is pretty gross. Just because you let somebody cream pie you doesn't mean I have to give a ---- about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn't make you any less wrong about the dumb ---- that you say. That's him disparaging moms. He's also, in a video, testing a Nazi-era submachine gun. He called it the, quote, original ghetto blaster. You see him goose-stepping to a- Called a Nazi, did they say, called a Nazi gun that he was trying the original ghetto blaster? Did you hear this? Mike Johnson, you're probably assuming, is about to go, oh Jake, I'm so sorry, I've been busy lately. My son had three explicit photos I had to review. I didn't have a chance to look at this. Now that I've seen it, of course I denounce him as a Christian. I don't know anything about that. And instead, he's going to say something very different. Also, that clip that Brandon Herrera, who's replacing Tony Gonzalez, or is trying to replace Tony Gonzalez, you remember Tony Gonzalez? The person who had that affair and was kind of like a predator in his workplace with his aide, and then that aide ended up dying by suicide by lighting herself on fire. Super tragic. And wouldn't you want to go from that to, like, a really, really high character candidate? No, it's said Brandon Herrera, who was saying he doesn't like when people make the argument, if I'm remembering that clip correctly, that moms might have a unique perspective to bring to our political dialogue, because a lot of our discussions in politics relate to families and kids and how do we uplift the next generation, and moms have a unique insight into that. It wasn't putting anyone else down, but he's reacting to that by saying, just because you have a quote-unquote cum trophy, or somebody, you know, came inside of you, oh my gosh, is what he was saying. I don't, I don't have to care anymore about your political views. That was his rant. I just want to give you the context because they cut it right when he started saying that. It's even crazier when you know what he was reacting to. Nazi marching song in a podcast two years ago, he joked, we should abolish old people.

I have to say, I know you're not a voter in that district. You didn't nominate this guy, but I was surprised to see you endorse him and fundraise him, fundraise for him. What does his candidate say about the Republican Party's more extreme candidates? That's, look, detestable language. You know how I feel about all of that, Jake. But I also know Brandon Herrera has been out running a very effective campaign and explained to people that he has apologized for all that. He was a podcaster and a provocateur and tried to get attention. That's not the way I speak or think, that's not the way most do, but that was his persona online. Right now he's running as a very serious candidate for Congress and a very thoughtful guy. I was with him at the convention. We talked about all this. I said, Brandon, when you get to Congress, and he will be there, you're going to join this team and help us to save America, to preserve freedom and bring down costs for the American people. That guy's laser focused on doing that, and he is far superior to the candidate he is running against down in that district in South Texas. I'm telling you, this is a contrast election between common sense and crazy. Brandon Herrera will join the common sense team of Republicans, making life better for Americans, while the DSA candidates that you referenced, the Democrat Socialists of America, have said what they want to do. They put it on paper, Jake. Their platform is abolish the border, abolish prisons, defund the police, defund the Pentagon and Department of War, one of the most dangerous times in American history. They want to abolish the U.S. Senate. They want to pack the Supreme Court and give Stop it! Shut up! His opponent does not want those things. You're just saying random stuff about random DSA people. Oh, you want to do that game, do you? That's what's funny. Our extreme, quote unquote extreme, right, are people who, some of them suggested all of that. The furthest left extreme, some of them, and much of that is completely stupid. Abolishing the Pentagon, what? What does that mean? Abolishing prisons, what? Which mainstream candidate, which Democratic nominee is running on those things? Well, name the one that's running on those. Name them. Our extreme goes too far as they think they're going to bring in some sort of utopia where all people are better served and they're incorrect in how we would get there. Your extreme is talking about ghetto blasters and is actually the nominee. Okay, all right, I'm comfortable with that, actually, with that contrast. And for the most part, even the progressive candidates who get nominated are running on a bunch of very common sense things. But you want to talk about non-common sense things that aren't just out in the ether but actually being presented by the President of the United States? Hey, if you elect us, I'll give you $5,000 each as a bribe, Americans, as Trump suggested. And Mike has just been too busy to think about if they would be able to do that. You're talking a lot about communism. How is communism any different from what President Trump is doing of getting equity stakes in tech and promising $5,000 checks to Americans and having equity in steel? So what the President is articulating, and he comes up with creative ideas all the time, he's the ideas president, and we have a hard time keeping pace with it sometimes. What does that even mean? That's how he says Trump has a bunch of really dumb ideas. I have concepts. He's the ideas president. He debuted at the convention famously the idea of basically a dividend check to Americans, right? We're processing that. I mean, we've just now gotten everybody here and we're talking about all that. What he's trying to articulate is the obvious truth that is demonstrable, and we can stay here all morning, we can talk to you about that. If you want more money in your pockets, you gotta keep Republicans in charge. That's what the President's talking about. We have done that. Not just, again, not rhetoric, it's record. Look what's happened. When we did our legislation, you know, the Working Families Tax Cut, for example, the big beautiful bill, it put more money in your pocket. In my state of Louisiana, the average Louisianian has $2,915 more in their pocket right now. They did not have to send in on their taxes this year because we got our policies enacted. You notice that? On average, this is how many dollars that we've been able to configure in raw totals that people got because of tax cuts. And who overwhelmingly got all of those? Also, if you're putting money in people's pockets, why are they literally losing buying power? Look at how long people's paychecks, people's wage growth was outpacing inflation through the end of Biden into Trump, and then Trump starts doing his stuff, and now inflation is outpacing wage growth, meaning you are not making more than inflation is eating into it. Not the best phrase to explain the point, but you get it. Even if you're boosting income a little bit, if prices are moving up faster than that, you're actually not getting any meaningful more money, and the policies that Trump has enacted have caused that, which you can see very clearly in this graphic. Plus, we don't have to keep making this point because I've made it so many times, but it feels necessary a little bit. Every time they brag about, we're the party that puts money in your pockets because of the tax cut, he will never contend with the combined effect. If you look at one subcategory and you say, look, these earners won't have to pay as much in taxes, modestly so, because we did this tax cut, and then you ignore that the people who get the real benefits are the richest, and you leave out completely that there was more stuff than just that in the bill, and when you factor in all that stuff, like the social services cuts, the bracket of people who need help have lost money in the bargain, and that's kind of the data trick that he's doing in that explanation.
