The moment he realized if they lose, Trump’s done

This is just awesome. A MAGA Mike Johnson, Republican congressman and currently the speaker of the House. He finally seems to get it after the devastating losses of Tuesday. He said, if we lose the majority in the House, they will try to end the Trump administration. He's not grandstanding. He is afraid. Let's take a look at this.

The president is on the ballot in 2026. The president Trump is on the ballot next fall because if we lose the majority of the Republicans, the common sense people here who are doing the job for the American people, if we lose the majority in the house and this radical element of the Democratic Party were were able to take over, we've already seen that movie. They will try to end the Trump administration.

He won't have four years to live only two. And they will try to systematically unwind all the important reforms that we've done for the American people. The president, you don't even need to make

campaign ads for 2026. Just run this unedited. That is right, Maga Mike. That is what we're talking about. That's why I've been saying 2026 is so important and why this week was so important. You know, for years, MAGA World operated with a particular confidence. They would push boundaries and test limits and dare anyone to stop them. The rules didn't apply. Investigations stalled.

There was never accountability. They got used to winning or at least getting away with it. Trump is still in that same phase. Trump is still in that same mindset. Trump is still in that same mindset. But something has shifted here with MAGA Mike Johnson. The sudden realization that power doesn't last forever.

It's not guaranteed. The things you've done may have been noted, documented, remembered, and they might have consequences. And Johnson seems to know what is waiting. If Democrats take control, the congressional committees would flip overnight. Every subpoena that's been blocked, every witness that's been

protected, every document that's been hidden, it becomes accessible to Democrats. All of a sudden, your House Oversight Committee alone could spend years unraveling the financial details and the pardon abuses and conflicts of interest. And that's just the House. Trump himself would be in a precarious legal landscape because all those federal cases against him that were paused while he was in office, they haven't disappeared. And there are state charges that aren't subject to presidential pardon. The civil judgments are part are piling up.

And so the guy who has seemed untouchable could be I mean, listen, I'm not going to blow smoke up your nose. I don't think Trump will ever see a day in prison. But taking control of the House back when Trump still has two more years in office has the real possibility of making it very unpleasant for him. I mean, just really unpleasant, especially when he doesn't have allies controlling the

House of Representatives. So this is what terrifies them. It's not just Trump having diminished power. What are the consequences going to be for four years during Trump's first term? You know, getting closer to a year of the second term. Democrats have watched mostly in frustration as the norms are shattered and the guardrails

are failing and all of it. But something has been learned from the experience, which is institutions only work if people are willing to use them. And Democrats are willing to use institutions when they control them. There's talk of investigation about January 6th pardons, which I think would be great. There is talk of looking into why did people who attack police officers walk free? Thanks to Donald

Trump. There's questions about foreign payments and business deals that ethics experts have been flagging, and some of it involves Jared Kushner. And there's a whole bunch of this stuff. These don't have to be hypotheticals right now. Their plans. I've spoken to members of the House off the record. They are plans waiting for the moment that Democrats have the authority to execute them. Now, it might come, but not until 2028. That would be less useful. Trump will be even older and it would be great to do it while Trump is president.

The MAGA response since Tuesday has been fascinating. It's not denial anymore. It's not we did nothing wrong. It's they are going to end his presidency if this is replicated, if this Tuesday is replicated next November. So Johnson's warning his side.

We have to win because if we don't, they're going to do to us what we actually want to be doing to them. So that's the quiet part. Mike Johnson understands it. Now there are some Republicans already starting to distance themselves and they're kind of reading the room and preparing for a future where Trump is not the center of the universe.

Others are doubling down. They're saying, I'm betting everything on Trump stays in control and Trump's going to protect me. But Maga Mike Johnson experienced a rare moment of honesty, which is how much legal exposure do I have? What does happen if Democrats take control of the House?

Now, Democrats, for their part, have been careful publicly with the language. You know, they talk about accountability. They talk about restoring integrity. They talk about the importance of nobody being above the law. I think that's smart. Use that language.

They're not threatening revenge. They're saying if there is an opportunity to properly investigate some of the things that have happened, we plan to do that. And I support that completely. And having the power to subpoena, the power to investigate, the power to refer to prosecution, that's all important. So Maga Mike Johnson heard that maybe not in the exact words that I'm using. And the goal would be the hope would be that we're getting to an era where the people protected by their proximity to power are no longer protected by that proximity. And it's not about unfairly going after people.

It's about accountability. It's about due process. It's the beginning of a reckoning that's been building for years. So they are afraid. You can hear it when they speak. They are frantic.

We must hold on to control because they finally understand what could be coming. We must hold on to control because they finally understand what could be coming. And they're terrified because they know that they have for it.
