He’s So Handsome, So Strong!: Speaker Johnson Nails Trump Impression; Crowd Bursts Into Laughter

Let me give you the words of the president himself. Mikey's straight out of Central Casting. Okay, that's what he says. Look at him, Mikey. He's so handsome. He's so strong. Mikey's a lot bigger than you. Yes, sir. I know the communists are coming for the country. They're taking over the Democrat Party. I'm sad to tell you this is not our father's Democrat Party. It doesn't exist anymore. Your district is in the top three battles in America. I want you to imagine a nightmare scenario with these insurgent Marxist Democrats taking over the Congress. They would impeach the president on the first day. We have to keep the majority. I have a gentleman back there in the back, the Speaker of the House. He's fixing to talk to you all. And he's the reason why you all are here too. I know that. But I'm going to tell you all right now. I love you, Speaker. You make America great again. That's right. That's right. I'm going to tell you all right now. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure, and I want you all to go with me and fight because this is what we do. We fight for what's right. We fight for the honor. We fight for integrity. We fight for what we believe in. We fight for the Lord Jesus Christ because I'm going to tell you all right now. If you all think DSA is just Democratic Socialists of America, if you think that this is just a facade, let me tell you all something. They're here to divide and conquer. And we've got to stay strong together. So without further ado, I would like to introduce you because this is the job that I'm going to be grateful once you all get me in because I'm going to do everything I can to keep this man in the helm. Without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to the 56th Speaker of the House, Mr. Speaker Mike Johnson. Thank you so much, South Texas. It's so exciting to be here. This is one of the biggest crowds we've had for any event around America. Thank you for standing with Dono. Appreciate it. I've got some reinforcements down here on the front row. Can I introduce a couple of people before I get started here? We've got reinforcements that have come from Congress from around the country to stand with this great man right here. They're right here on the front row. Let me introduce you to Mario Diaz-Balart from South Florida. Stand up, brother. Congressman Diaz-Balart. I understand South Florida, but we've got a guy all the way from Indiana. Congressman from Indiana, Rudy Yaakam is here. Not if, but when Tonno wins this seat in the 68th night. Okay, that's what's going to happen. He's going to win. He's going to join Congress with an outstanding group of new members. One of them is with us today from Oklahoma, Mark Tedford. Stand up, brother. Now, why did I bring all these guys from all over the country? Because they wanted to be here with this extraordinary candidate. I don't have to tell you how great Tonno is for this district. Let me give you the words of the president himself. Mikey's straight out of Central Casting. Okay, that's what he says. He says, Look at him, Mike. He's so handsome. He's so strong. Mikey's a lot bigger than you. Yes, sir. I know that. Big things come in small packages, sir, but also in big ones. Tonno is the real deal, y'all. We have been recruiting all-star candidates around the country because you know this midterm election is unlike any other we've ever had in our lives. Maybe the most important midterm in the history of our great country. Because we are in an all-out cataclysmic battle to save the republic. You might have noticed the communists are coming for the country. They're taking over the Democrat Party. I'm sad to tell you this is not our father's Democrat Party. It doesn't exist anymore. When I grew up in Louisiana, I scarcely knew a Republican. They were all Democrats. Blue Dog Democrats. But you know what? They love God and country and faith and family and the principles of the country. That party doesn't exist anymore. The money, the energy, the excitement, the grassroots is on the side of the insurgent left in the Democrat Party, and they do not stand for anything that South Texas stands for. That's why you've got to have champions. You've got to have proven leaders. You've got to have guys who have been in the battle and have served, and they understand that public service is about serving the people and not yourself. Alright? You guys know what County Judge Tom O'Toole is about, right? He's a man of faith and principle and family. He stands for freedom. And he's going to fight every day for the people of this district. And this district and this battle matters more than almost any other around the country. I'm an ambassador of hope today, okay? I'm going to tell you all the reasons we're going to defy history and we must do it. It's only happened twice in 90 years that a sitting president has picked up seats for his party in that first two-year cycle. And the answer is, people ask, why is that? Because when someone wins the White House, the other party's kind of sore about it, right? And so they get their grassroots out and they turn out the base and they take seats away from the president in the House in that first two-year cycle. That is not going to happen this time, okay? Not going to happen, right? Let me tell you exactly where we stand today because it's so important to the people in this room. And your presence here shows us you understand the stakes. You understand this is bigger than this district in South Texas. This is bigger than Webb County. Bigger than the whole state of Texas. And that's a big state, brother, okay? It's bigger than the whole thing. It's for the whole country. This is for the survival of freedom. Now here's the stats as of this morning, okay? Very sober-minded about our challenge, but here's what it says. The Cook Political Report's probably the gold standard. They're trying to guess what's going to happen on election night. People on both sides of the aisle look to them for their expertise. And this is what they say as of this morning. They projected on election night we're going to have 211 Republican victories, 205 Democrat victories. That means there's 19 seats in the middle that are the battleground, that are the jump ball seats. Now of those 19, you rate them in importance? I'm telling you your district is in the top three battles in America, okay? This comes down to your effort, your turnout, your investment, your time, your influence, all that you're giving us right now. And from the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful to you. Tano is the perfect guy to flip this blue seat to red. I'm telling you, okay? The perfect guy. Y'all, we need fighters right now. This is serious business. And let me tell you a couple of reasons real quick why we're so optimistic about this. I have a very boring 90-minute slideshow that I did not bring to you today, okay? I'll be very quick. First of all, we got a great record to run on. These incumbents, all the members of Congress, the Republican majority, even though we had a one or two-vote margin most of this Congress, what could go wrong, right? I needed an enforcer next to me to get this done, but he's coming, he's coming. I got reinforcements. But look, we got the votes delivered anyway, and we have an extraordinary record to run on. We passed over 800 pieces of legislation, landmark stuff, to fix the mess that we inherited from the Biden-Harris years, okay? It was a disaster. Among the first things that we fixed, you know what the biggest issue you know, the biggest issue in the 2024 election was? The wide-open border and the chaos that it brought. Elections have consequences, my friends. We sealed and secured the border. Thank you. You're right. You know the stats. You all know it better than anybody. We have not had one release of an illegal into the country in over 16 straight months, okay? It's a big thing. We also got back to American energy dominance, and that's a big deal to Texas and my state of Louisiana. We got back to peace through strength. We passed all this legislation, and we gave everybody the largest tax cut in U.S. history, okay? It's a big thing. The average Texan has more than $4,000 in their pocket because of the tax cut that they were given. They didn't have to send it to Washington to be squandered. They kept it. Their own hard-earned money. And we also cut all the taxes on tips and overtime and Social Security, and we infused all the policies with pro-growth issues. If you're a small business owner, and I know we've got a bunch here, that's the mainstay, the lifeblood of the U.S. economy. We made life easier on the job creators, the risk takers, the entrepreneurs, because we allowed them to write off on their taxes investment in their business. If you invest in R&D, you invest in expanding to a new facility or new manufacturing or adding jobs, you can write that off on your taxes, and that's a big, big deal to people. That's what's helped so many people. Now, we've got a lot more work to do. We need reinforcements to do it. You don't just flip a switch and get out of 40-year high inflation that Biden gave us, okay? It's a gradual process, and we're getting that done. So, great record to run on. We have far, second reason, we have far superior candidates, okay? Okay. I'm not going to tell you what an upgrade this will be. I've talked about Tano, look, okay, in every way, okay? I talk about Tano all around the country, okay? Because he is the poster child for what we're trying to do and accomplish this week, okay? Go Texas, that's right, and I do it. I might as well be wearing the Texas logo everywhere I go. And look, y'all, I'm in the middle of a 30-day nonstop campaign fundraising tour. I'm going to 18 states, 34 districts. We don't stop. We save the best for last in South Texas, okay? I'm telling you, everywhere I go around the country, I talk about Tano, and Eric Flores is two guys, two great examples that are down here in South Texas that are going to flip blue seats to red that we've been needing to do for a long time. We've got the right people at the right time. They know the people, they know who they represent, and they're ready to fight for your freedom, okay? We've got to have them, and we're going to win this thing. And so we have better far-spirited candidates. For the first time in 10 years, we have a slight fundraising advantage over the Democrats, okay? Yeah, big deal, big deal. Now, my job is to go everywhere, and I'm supposed to raise $400 million for the party. This is a gross approximation, but I think we, by God's grace, I think we crossed that line this past week, okay? So we're on the track to do it. It's an all-time breaker, but I'm not the best fundraiser in the party. The reason that we are doing that is because people like you understand the stakes are so high, right? This is for all the marbles. We cannot lose this midterm. I want you to imagine a nightmare scenario with these insurgent Marxist Democrats taking over the Congress. They would impeach the President on the first day. They've already said what they're going to do. They'll convert every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They'll spend every waking hour investigating the President and his family and the Cabinet and going on this lawfare exercise. It would roil the markets. It would undermine people's confidence in the U.S. and the economy. It would empower our enemies across the globe at the worst possible time. We cannot allow them to do that, okay? The problem that we have right now is that the people behind us don't understand how dangerous these ideas are. They don't understand that socialism is a road to ruin. They don't understand that socialism is a step to get to communism. It's Marxist philosophy. They thought that communism would be the utopia, the perfect society. They're dead wrong.
