Maga Mike, you sir are about to get fired after getting on Elon Musk and Donald Trump's bad side. I think January 3 is going to be your last day. Let me talk about how the Maga Republicans are all lined up to fire. Maga Mike Johnson. But can we just show some of these photos of Maga Mike Johnson on the jet with Donald Trump and Elon Musk or at the UFC match with Donald Trump and Kid Rock and Don Jr. And should I do it to a song? Yesterday, Maga Mike, your troubles seem so far away. She's supposed to put the photos like a montage. Don't worry, I'll spare you this song. But here's the thing, folks. I think the Maga Republicans are gearing up to fire Maga Mike Johnson. So he had put forward this continuing resolution to stop the government shutdown. He entered into a bipartisan deal with Democrats, because guess what? In politics, he got to work with the other side sometimes. But how dare you do that when you've got Elon Musk, the essentially de facto president of the United States who Donald Trump takes his orders from now. And Elon Musk said that the Maga Mike Johnson continuing resolution bipartisan deal was criminal and that it was a horrible thing. And anybody who votes for it should not be reelected and be voted on. And then Elon Musk posted photos of himself with samurai swords and said kill the bill. So then on Thursday night, Maga Mike Johnson tried to put together some other continuing resolution. And Donald Trump was saying, look, you got to get rid of the debt ceiling, Maga Mike. I know that we've been saying that you shouldn't raise the debt ceiling when President Biden was in charge. But for me, just can you get rid of like the debt ceiling right now and tie that to the continuing resolution? Because I got Project 2025, Maga Mike, and I got to give tax cuts to billionaires. And that's going to skyrocket our debt by trillions of dollars. And those nasty portations aren't going to pay for themselves. Like I lied to the American people about. So can you just get rid of the whole debt ceiling thing? And Maga Mike's like, anything for you Donald, anything for you Donald. But other Republicans were like, wait, wait, wait, what? So you said that this other continuing resolution was bad because it was and had all these other things in it. And it wasn't a clean one and had all these benefits and had all the spending. But now you want to increase the debt by $5 trillion, essentially, by removing the debt ceiling. Oh, and let's read the fine print right here. Wait a minute, in this new continuing resolution that Maga Mike Johnson has introduced, it basically lifted all restrictions with doing business in China, potentially for people like Elon Musk. And wait a minute, it removed $190 million in pediatric cancer research, cancer research for children. Right before Christmas, let's remove the cancer research to help children get well and heal from cancer. That's what they are doing. Maga Mike's like, let's frickin do it. And now there's a civil war brewing the Maga Republicans pretty much all hate Maga Mike Johnson. You've got the Elon Musk faction. It was basically the president at this point. You got Elon Musk speaking out against Maga Mike Johnson. And then you've got on the other side, you know, all of the other Maga speaking out against Maga Mike Johnson here. Take a look at this, for example, right here. Let me show you this clip. This is Maga Republican Mike Lee,

Senator from Oklahoma. He's like, you know, we got to replace Maga Mike Johnson with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami. It's like cloudish buffoonery here play this clip. I don't think Johnson likes you now. Next time you guys see each other walking through the calls of Congress, he could probably kick you in the leg. He is a good man. He's a friend. He's been a long friend for a long time. Great person. He's lost control of this process. And he's, this is, I don't know how he can remain in power. All right. Elon or Vivek is speaker. He's a friend and you just threw him overboard. Yes, politics is tough, Senator Lee. Well, it is, especially when you try to jam an entire country with the 1500 page bill that nobody's read and you try to trick them and bully them into do it. Some of us take that personally, Jesse. Yeah, no, I don't like it either. I think it's terrible. And we got to stop doing it. And it's got to stop now. All right. You got other MAGA Republican senators weighing in as well. Here you got MAGA Republican Josh Hawley saying, I think we need to have a serious look at who's leading Congress play this clip. Or it is. Why would you saddle Donald Trump with this terrible spending bill before he even gets into office and Sean, the worst part is it dumps it right back in his lap in March. In March
