Magamike Johnson, the Maga Republican Speaker of the House is losing all cont...

House of Representatives, and he is panicking, fearing that he may even lose his job before

the midterms, and let's face it. Any semblance of any Maga agenda has now been totally derailed,

and Donald Trump called Axios, which is basically his personal stenographer at this point,

and he's basically leaked to them that he hopes the Maga Republicans lose the midterms. He doesn't care if they lose the midterms. More on that in a moment, but Magamike Johnson is losing Maga Republican members left and right. Maga Republican Congresswoman from Texas, Kay Granger, pronounced dead over the weekend at the age of 83. Apparently for the past several months, she's been in an assisted living facility. No one's really known where she is, but she has

been pronounced dead in Fort Worth, Texas at the age of 83. Also, you have a Maga Republican Congress

member from Ohio. Max Miller, well, he's being called on to resign immediately, based on very

serious and disturbing allegations of abuse by his ex-wife who happens to also be the daughter of a Maga Republican senator from the same state where Miller is a Congress member. Oh, Ohio, Senator Morano's daughter is the ex-wife of Max Miller, and some Maga Republican Senator Morano is calling out his former son-in-law for being a deranged abusive psychopath. And Senator Morano posted this publicly, and then Max Miller attacked his former father-in-law, the Maga Republican

senator of the same state, and then Miller earlier in the morning on Sunday released a deranged

video saying, "Do you think that I could be abusive if my ex-wife invited me back in the house

a few days later? How could I be abusive if she invited me back in?" Yeah, that's what happens

in domestic abuse situations. Then he proceeded to release all of these like seraptitious audio recordings. He made of his wife, and they are not helpful to him to say the least. Let's just go through all of the things that are happening one by one here so you can see Maga Mike Johnson panicking. Well, on Sunday, Maga Mike announced the death of K. Granger, he said she devoted her life to serving her Fort Worth Texas community as a teacher and business woman.

He says throughout her career, she broke barriers, and he sends prayers to her family. You see, photos of her, she has not been seen in the house of representatives for quite some time. You have Donald Trump then calling a regime media, his stenographer Axios. And so, you know, Donald Trump leaks all the stuff to Axios about his like fake conversations with Iran, and I'm going to blow the F.ing. S. ad of them, and they want to make a deal, right? That's

Barack ravine over in Axios, but Trump leaked the following to Axios on Sunday. This is what Axios wrote that Trump told them. President Trump doesn't really care if Republicans lose the house and/or the Senate in the midterms this fall. Yeah, he prefer a big win, but he seems indifferent to the election and the possibility of endless democratic investigations of his family wealth and policies, his close advisors. Tell us a big reason, Trump thinks he'll emerge just as strong

or even stronger heading into his final two years, at least among the Republicans who are left. Trump, this is what they're saying on Axios. You talk about regime propaganda. Trump will enjoy a more pro-Trump Republican Congress winner lose. Gleefully play 2028 Kingmaker in the Republican Party, and further test the boundaries of presidential power beyond legislating. His preferred method anyway, you're talking about what dictatorship, uh, protested beyond the

bounds of presidential powers, you know, not pesky little thing called the Constitution. He'll use partens to protect his people as advisors or telling Axios. Trump is not a share of the stage past the torch, groom your successor kind of guy. Instead, he'll exploit the leverage with Maga losing in the midterms. He wants them to lose so he can exploit the leverage. He believes

that's strange. That's what he's telling Axios. And then cashing in, of course. This is a real

article from Axios, cashing in over the weekend. Trump will use the levers of power to keep raising money to expand his cloud beyond the presidency. He likes the fact that when he tells someone, give me money, they give him money and advise your told us another chimed into Axios.

Trump will relish in perpetuity, having Republicans beg for his endorsement.

as your bank account says you are. It's referring to extortion right there, uh, in my opinion,

but, uh, okay, Axios. Trump is rooting for Republicans to lose the midterms so he can exert more

power over whatever is left in the rubbish. That is the, that is the Maga Republican party. Okay, Bernie Moreno, the Maga Republican Senator from Ohio, post to this publicly about his former son and law, Max Miller, who is alleged to have abused Moreno's daughter. As a father and husband, I can tell you the last two years have been pure hell for my wife, Bridget, our daughter, Emily, me and our entire family in the aftermath of Emily's divorce. It has been horrific to watch this

play out in full public view. All while knowing it innocent two-year-old girl, his granddaughter,

is caught in the middle. Our priority has always been protecting our daughter and our granddaughter,

out of concern for the safety of my family. I hope to keep this matter private, but Max Miller's, that's the Maga Republican Congress member from Ohio, who used to be married to Moreno's daughter. Just want to make sure you're following, um, increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior as made it impossible. As he has admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological help. He is a danger to my daughter and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter.

If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office,

Max Miller fails them. He should not serve in the House of Representatives. I believe Max Miller

needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse. He has left in his wake. I believe he should not be free to continuing and dangering others until he does. I ran for office because I wanted to make a difference for the country that gave me every opportunity to succeed and to leave this nation better for my children and grandchildren. That sacrifice has been

especially hard on my wife, Bridget, whose big heart and steady support have never wavered. I owe

it to her to Emily. Emily's his daughter of the ex-wife of Max Miller and to my granddaughter to speak the truth now. Then Magga Republic and Congress member Max Miller responds, Bernie Moreno, Senator from Ohio, my father, my former father-in-law. If my daughter said the same thing to me, I personally wouldn't wait two years before holding him accountable. You know this isn't true and the only reason you're speaking out now is too high from your own media circus. This is

all political and you know folks when I read you this stuff like this doesn't have to be our politics. Like we know that, right? Like our politics doesn't have to be this like dark disgusting dystopia of these Magga Republican abusers and people who are alleged to commit abuse and Magga Republicans covering up child sex trafficking rings and Donald Trump, bragging about shaking down people for money and doing 21,000 stock trades and doing

quit pro quo is with the Middle East and getting us involved in never ending wars and manipulating

the markets and covering up child sex trafficking rings and focusing on stealing our taxpayer money for his right wing all the garks and building golden ballrooms and things that we don't want and whining about reflecting pools and prosecuting people based on fabricated evidence and constantly whining about how unfairly we know that like we could actually have normal human beings who fight for us and don't rip away our health care who actually make things

more affordable who create the conditions for affordable housing could give us free health care free education and we don't have to live like we know we don't have to live in this hell right

by the way that's why the book I wrote with my brothers is called WTF America and we talk about

the way out of this hell how do we get in here how do we get out of this hell and I want to take the step back in the book and talk about these broader and important overarching principles by the way pre order WTF America right now it comes out October but our publisher has told us it's really important we focus on those pre orders so if you were thinking about waiting till October pre order right now and you can hit the QR code or link in the description below

but WTF we need to get out of this mess so magma republic in congress member max miller then recorded this video and he was like my wife claims that I abused her and poured scolding hot

Water on her and abused our child and did all of this horrific stuff by the w...

Grisham former Trump advisor also made accusations in the first he was in the first Trump regime that max when she was dating max miller he was abusive she alleged so this guy's got a history and pattern and practice of this but he made this video I'm not going to play in the full thing I'm going to play you a small portion where max millers like would my wife actually invite me back into the home to be with our daughter after she says that I did these horrible things that's

what the yes that's what happens in domestic violence situations here play this clip so ask yourself

if I had assaulted her which he had offered to cook me dinner six days later which he even invited me to spend an afternoon at the playground with her and our daughter which he have written that we were in a friendlier place no she wouldn't have ladies and gentlemen and then he released what he claimed was helpful evidence to himself he did a dropbox and like released all of these audio recordings and I think they just make it worse for him like he

released this audio that in my view admits that he sprayed his water with he sprayed his wife with

hot water play this clip it never was done to hurt you and you know that you were weaponizing this

piece of my pretty salary and if you knew what you were going to say I was crying so Emily yeah

yeah I didn't mean to hurt you it wasn't done with intent you just set it yourself

you literally just set it yourself it wasn't done to hurt you and I told you before that not to come over to me and start screwing around with me it was a family you are taking you know you're taking a playful incident and making something of various you are going out of the faucet it does not get to a temperature boiling water it does not I did it and I tested it and I had our attorneys tested because I figured that this is what you were going to come out with and it's literally it's like standing

under a hot shower and we already have someone to go ahead and combat this if this is what you're going to do and then there's this audio of him where he appears to where it's his ex-wife accusing him of using drugs saying she found needles by his bed and he released this he thinks this is helpful

Tim you're playing this clip all of our conversations no I don't and I've never recorded one of

our problems by the way and I've never gone into your cell phone and I've never gone into your computer and I've never sneaked into your backpack and I've never banged on the bathroom you're thinking that you're a master that you're masturbating when you're just using the bathroom it's not you're not planning to you I have fun into your backpack because I truly do believe you have a drug problem okay what drugs well if I first it was me and I found needles next to your bed

you found needles yes I did not took a picture of it you can try to deny it to me okay I don't know why that's funny that's actually really fucking scary okay you found it and there's a huge impetus why left okay go for it just me forever you would like

you're not that's even scary that that's a thing it's honestly that that actually freaks me the

fuck it's not a thing and you didn't find it next to a bed it's like did not yes the fuck I did then it's not mine if it's next to the bed then who else does needle is in the bedroom

bedroom drawer not no idea but I can tell you a thousand percent I've never had a needle in my

bedroom drawer a thousand percent never had a needle in my bedroom drawer not my bedroom drawer not my bedroom drawer I have never had a needle in my bedroom drawer and that is not where are they max because that's where I found it nope I don't have needles in the house you can come check there's now I've never put a needle in my drawer please do I would love to see what this and so now you have these magga republicans out there like you know defending max miller by the way

you had trump on air force one he was asked should max miller resign he's like I'm not so far it's just accusations here play this clip right here a lot of people like it a lot of big supporters of Trump like it had tip to democratic stradden just Mike Nellus because weeks ago

He was on state regime media fox and here's what he said on spot you know wha...

wasn't getting enough attention let's play a lot of bad individuals who are rising up in politics

right now includes grand planner he's got to go but the fact that you just sit here and said that nobody cares that max miller beat his wife I'm not here to talk about max miller we're here I'm not talking about all this before not policing this conduct from people whether they're

Democrats or Republicans it's not right nobody has the more I'm talking about that's why we're talking

about grand platter if we want to talk with another segment on the congressman you're bringing up or the candidate you let me know when we're gonna book a segment on max miller because I haven't heard about it but box that's fine by the way even George Santos when he was in the house of representatives back on November of 2023 when he was in the house floor he called out max miller in November 2023 and they all knew about magga was covering this up for this guy here play this clip

user or a crook I know I should direct my comments to the chair I yield back my colleague wants to come up here call me a crook same colleague who's accused of being a woman beater are we are we really going to ignore the facts that we all have passed and we all have the media coming out against us on a daily basis I can go and read about all my colleagues I'm not going

to stand here to smear them I'm not going to stand here and use the time I have to say ill things

about my colleagues I refuse to stoop to that level Jim Jordan said the following that max miller is a good man and we're all going to help them get re-elected play this clip I also want to ask you about something a little closer to home there is a colleague of yours in the Ohio delegation max miller who is facing allegations of abuse from an ex-wife of the wife and his then toddler daughter do you think that max miller who denies this abuse should he resign from

congress in light of the accusations look this is a this is a family matter I know max is a good man I was a campaign inform I hope he wins reelection he's done a good job as a number of congress and we should all pray for his family these are difficult times they're going through we understand

that these kind of situations always are but max is a good number in a colleague and hopefully

he's going to win reelection but ultimately in the end that's up to the that's up to the voters in his district but yeah we were up helping help in max just a few weeks ago at a campaign of being up in his district in the northern part of our state so I mean it's just worth noting I mean the allegations include that miller scalded his ex-wife's chest and stomach when he threw hot water at her they held the gun to her head that he pushed her against a wall and hit her in the head

that he fractured their daughters collarbone and bruised her shoulder that his two-year-old daughter reportedly told his ex-wife quote that he said I want to play for you what you said when you asked about grand-platter who faced allegations of abuse I'm not let's watch what you told um yeah I'm not I'm not hurt I'm not hurt I'm not hurt all this up there well it was in the New York Times it was in the New York Times that's the last allegations it's been out there for a while I just want

to show you what you told New York Times when you saw the grand-platter was facing these accusations

watch that's always been the case with democrats it's all about maintaining power devil take

any crazy position as long as it furtheres their their ability to win elections and get power and friends with the go against up anyone it goes against president trump why does that not apply here to Republicans who want to keep power in the seat well I don't know the context of the question I was asked about Mr. Plattener but my my guess is was it was about all the ridiculous positions he's taken the banner is that he's actually the not the not the tattoo and everything else

yeah well I don't I don't I don't I don't I didn't answer I don't know the answer that question

I I think I was dealing with just who he was as a candidate and the crazy anti-Semitic anti-Israel

pro notty positions that he is taken I think is evidence by the fact that had a what a notty tattoo on his chest all right congressman Jim Jordan thank you so much it was it wasn't it wasn't me they kicked him off the ballot it was the democrats all right fair enough sir thank you very much we'll be right back now it should be noted that uh Max Miller's running against a democrat Brian poing dexter and poing dexter is now leading in a lot of the recent polling for Ohio 7th congressional district

so even that seat which was once viewed in Ohio as a potentially safe seat for maga is now viewed as a seat that could flip to democrats and by the way I've been doing lots of videos on Ohio and Texas too but Ohio you see a lot of shift towards the democratic party a lot of shift towards blue and you know really I think they're just I think they're a good candidate who are running diverse different types of can that that's good diversity diversity in candidates is good

Not everyone has to be you know a certain prototype despite listening for the...

them and also I just think people want accountability to trump and say one people who are going

to conduct oversight and actually punch back against the trump regime so poing dexter is up I got

to get poing dexter on the show huh I got to interview poing dexter huh well anyway maga mic maga
