STEVE BANNON: Clearly, Johnson's not up to the task and he's gotta go. Right? He's gotta go. Should Johnson be speaker of the House?
President Trump, these are your people. It's not just Johnson. Clearly, he has to go. He doesn't have that — he doesn't have what we call the right stuff. Right? That combination of guts and moxie and savvy and toughness.
What is the strength of our movement? It's resilience. What does Trump admire most? It's resilience. You can punch MAGA in the face and they're gonna get up off the canvas and they're gonna punch you back three times harder. This is what we've done.
Johnson, he goes to the UFC fights. Right? He's on the plane. He's walking in in the UFC fight. Right? And when President Trump shows up the the UFC fights, it's like the Roman Colosseum. I mean, this thing explodes. Right? I mean, it's unbelievable. He's there. He's at the Army Navy game hanging the box. He's always around — he's down at Mar-a-Lago.
Did he ever mention to President Trump? Did he ever mention to Vivek? Did he ever mention to Elon? It's fifteen hundred pages of sellout to Hakeem Jeffries. He just stands up in the capitol a few minutes ago and goes, well, you know, we negotiated this on bipartisan. There's nothing to negotiate.
We don't need partisanship now. We need hyper-partisanship now. The conversation is over. President Trump came back from the political dead and on the shoulders of the most powerful populist movement in the history of the world, brought in every demographic, every ethnicity, every gender in every part of the country, and won a landslide victory. All the battleground states, every demographic and the popular vote. We have nothing else to discuss. It's only about the execution of President Trump's plan.
