New House Speaker Mike Johnson says he believes these six things, and the left is LOSING it



Kevin McCarthy’s seat wasn’t even cold before the left swarmed in on his replacement, Mike Johnson. Literally everything about the new House speaker has been attacked, from his Christian faith to his belief in the sanctity of life.

Pat Gray, on the other hand, is impressed with Johnson so far.

“He's pretty conservative for the most part,” he says. “I think he's said a lot of really good things.”

Pat plays a video that claims Johnson has made it clear that he’s “an election denier,” “an anti-vaxxer / COVID hoaxer,” and “fully pro-life.” The video claims Johnson also believes that “January 6 was a peaceful protest,” “Trump won the 2020 election,” and “Nancy Pelosi should be arrested.”

If you know anything about the left, then this next part won’t surprise you a bit.

The video goes on to claim that Johnson has already been labeled “a hateful bigot,” an “insurrectionist,” a “fascist Putin apologist,” “an extreme right-wing idealogue,” and a “Christian nationalist.”

Only time will tell if Johnson will be a good fit, but if we had to speculate based on the left’s reaction, there’s a solid chance Johnson will impress.

The ONE thing you need to know about House Speaker Mike Johnson



Kevin McCarthy is OUT, and Mike Johnson is IN.

But who is Mike Johnson? We don’t know much about him as of now, but Glenn Beck is certain about one thing: the media is not on his side.

“The media hates Mike Johnson. ... You remember when McCarthy was Hitler?” he asks, before explaining that Johnson is portrayed by the media as “Hitler’s Hitler.”

Stu Burguiere, who’s been carefully watching the media’s coverage of Johnson, agrees, saying, “All of a sudden Kevin McCarthy is this, like, moderate guy that we could all understand and get along with, [but Johnson]? He's crazy.”

Glenn then recalls when Pope Francis was elected at the Vatican back in 2013.

“The media was like, ‘Oh we're going to hate all these popes. ... They're so bigoted,’” but when Pope Francis was selected, “Immediately within 10 minutes, everyone on CNN [and] MSNBC was like, ‘Oh he's a good pope, he's one of the best popes ever.’”

That’s when Glenn knew “there's something really wrong with this guy.”

“Seeing that the media does not love Johnson,” says Glenn, “I think that's a pretty good sign.”

However, Glenn doesn’t want to jump to conclusions.

“Be cautious,” he warns. “This guy could be a nightmare. ... This guy might be good.”

Based on the fact that Johnson’s voting record was “pretty much the same” as McCarthy’s, Stu assumes “they're going to be right in the same realm.”

Regardless, “there's only so much a speaker can do,” he continues, adding that hopefully Johnson “can be someone who's aggressive and hopefully allows the truth to come out,” which is “the main thing that the House can do right now.”

GOP Rep. Mike Johnson calls for requiring that a portion of American Rescue Plan funds support law enforcement



The American Rescue Plan allocated $350 billion for state, local, territorial and tribal governments to respond to the coronavirus crisis, and Republican Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana is calling for a requirement that a portion of those funds go toward law enforcement.

In his letter to President Biden, which was obtained by the Daily Caller, Johnson asked the president to direct the Treasury Department to stipulate that some of the funding must go toward law enforcement.

"The Act sets aside $350 billion to assist state, local, territorial, and tribal governments in recovering from the side effects of the pandemic," Johnson wrote. "The Treasury Department issued an interim rule giving these respective jurisdictions flexibility to use their shares of the funds as they see fit to support COVID-19 response efforts, promote economic recovery, and replace lost revenue for governmental services. I respectfully request that you direct the Treasury Department to modify the final rule to specify that a portion of these funds must be devoted to law enforcement efforts in our states and local communities."

Later in the letter, the lawmaker wrote: "The requirement should also specify that if a jurisdiction does not comply, it must submit an explanation in writing to the Treasury Department and Congress as to why such an allocation is not necessary."

President Biden signed the massive $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in March this year.

One of the other components of the legislation was that it provided for eligible individuals to receive $1,400 payments.

"Law enforcement officers are self-sacrificing public servants who risk their lives every day when they put on the badge and go out into our communities," Johnson noted in the letter. "They require our support now more than ever as the needs of law enforcement reflect the needs of the people we serve."

Johnson has served as the representative of Louisiana's 4th Congressional District since 2017.
