Speaker Mike Johnson stole the spotlight during a Texas campaign appearance with a humorous impersonation of President Donald Trump. Johnson mimicked Trump while praising U.S. House candidate Tano Tijerina, jokingly imagining Trump saying, “Look at him Mike, he’s so handsome, he’s so strong.” The lighthearted moment drew attention from the crowd and added a dose of humor to the campaign event. Johnson’s playful performance offered a rare comedic moment on the trail as Republicans rallied support for Tijerina in Texas.

00:00Mikey's straight out of Central Casting.
00:01Okay, that's what he says.
00:02He says.
00:09Look at him, Mike.
00:10He's so handsome.
00:11He's so strong.
00:14Mikey's a lot bigger than you.
00:15Yes, sir.
00:16But when Tano wins this seat in 68 nights, okay, that's what's going to happen.
00:20He's going to win.
00:20He's going to join Congress with an outstanding group of new members.
00:23And one of them is with us today from Oklahoma, Mark Tedford.
00:26Stand up, brother.
00:30Now, why did I bring all these guys from all over the country?
00:32Because they wanted to be here with this extraordinary candidate.
00:35I don't have to tell you how great Tano is for this district.
00:38Let me give you the words of the president himself.
00:40Mikey's straight out of Central Casting.
00:41Okay, that's what he says.
00:42He says.
00:49Look at him, Mike.
00:50He's so handsome.
00:51He's so strong.
00:54Mikey's a lot bigger than you.
00:55Yes, sir.
00:56I know that.
00:58Big things come in small packages, sir.
00:59But also in big ones, okay, Tano is the real deal, y'all.
01:03We have been recruiting all-star candidates around the country because you know this midterm
01:06election is unlike any other we've ever had in our lives.
01:09Maybe the most important midterm in the history of our great country, okay?
01:13Because we are in an all-out cataclysmic battle to save the republic, okay?
01:18You might have noticed the communists are coming for the country, okay?
01:22They're taking over the Democrat Party.
01:24I'm sad to tell you this is not our father's Democrat Party.
01:27It doesn't exist anymore.
01:27When I grew up in Louisiana, I scarcely knew a Republican.
01:30They were all Democrats, blue-dog Democrats.
01:32But you know what?
01:32They love God and country and faith and family and the principles of the country.
01:36That party doesn't exist anymore, okay?
01:40The money, the energy, the excitement, the grassroots is on the side of the insurgent left in the
01:45Democrat Party, and they do not stand for anything that South Texas stands for, okay?
01:50That's why you've got to have champions.
01:52You've got to have proven leaders.
01:54You've got to have guys who have been in the battle and have served, and they understand
01:57that public service is about serving the people and not yourself, okay?
02:07You guys know what County Judge Tom O.T.
02:10Arena is about, right?
02:11He's a man of faith and principle and family.
02:14He stands for freedom, and he's going to fight every day for the people of this district.
02:17And this district and this battle matters more than almost any other around the country.
02:23I'm an ambassador of hope today, okay?
02:25I'm going to tell you all the reasons we're going to defy history, and we must do it.
02:27It's only happened twice in 90 years that a sitting president has picked up seats for
02:31his party in that first two-year cycle.
02:34And the answer is, people ask, why is that?
02:36Because when someone wins the White House, the other party's kind of sore about it, right?
02:40And so they get their grassroots out, and they turn out the base, and they take seats away
02:44from the president in the House in that first two-year cycle.
02:48That is not going to happen this time, okay?
02:51Not going to happen, right?
02:54Let me tell you exactly where we stand today, because it's so important that people
02:57in this room, and your presence here shows us you understand the stakes.
03:00You understand this is bigger than this district in South Texas.
03:04This is bigger than Webb County, bigger than the whole state of Texas, and that's a big
03:07state, brother, okay?
03:08It's bigger than the whole thing.
03:09It's for the whole country.
03:11This is for the survival of freedom.
03:12Now, here's the stats as of this morning, okay?
03:15Very sober-minded about our challenge, but here's what it says.
03:17The Cook Political Report, probably the gold standard, they are trying to guess what's going
03:21to happen on election night.
03:23People on both sides of the aisle look at them for their expertise, and this is what they say
03:26as of this morning, they projected on election night, we're going to have 211 Republican
03:32victories, 205 Democrat victories.
03:35That means there's 19 seats in the middle that are the battleground, that are the jump
03:40ball seats.
03:41Now, of those 19, you rate them in importance.
03:43I'm telling you, your district is in the top three battles in America, okay?
03:48This comes down to your effort, your turnout, your investment, your time, your influence,
03:54all that you're giving us right now, and from the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful to
03:57you.
03:58Tano is the perfect guy to flip this blue seat to red.
04:00I'm telling you, okay?
04:01The perfect guy.
04:06Y'all, we need fighters right now.
04:08This is serious business.
04:09Now, let me tell you a couple of reasons real quick why we're so optimistic about this.
04:12I have a very boring 90-minute slideshow that I did not bring to you today, okay?
04:15I'll be very quick.
04:16First of all, we've got a great record to run on.
04:18These incumbents, all the members of Congress, the Republican majority, even though we had
04:21a one or two vote margin, most of this Congress, what could go wrong, right?
04:25I needed an enforcer next to me to get this done, but he's coming, he's coming.
04:28I got reinforcements.
04:29But look, we got the votes delivered anyway, and we have an extraordinary record to run on.
04:33We passed over 800 pieces of legislation, landmark stuff, to fix the mess that we inherited
04:37from the Biden-Harris years, okay?
04:38It was a disaster.
04:40Among the first things that we fixed, you know what the biggest issue you know, the biggest issue
04:44in the 2024 election was?
04:45The wide-open border and the chaos that it brought.
04:48Elections have consequences, my friends.
04:50We sealed and secured the border.
04:53You're right.
04:57Do you know the stats?
04:58You all know it better than anybody.
04:59We have not had one release of an illegal into the country in over 16 straight months, okay?
05:05It's a big thing.
05:06We also got back to American energy dominance, and that's a big deal to Texas.
05:10In my state of Louisiana, we got back to peace through strength.
05:13We passed all this legislation, and we gave everybody the largest tax cut in U.S. history,
05:18okay?
05:19It's a big thing.
05:20The average Texan has more than $4,000 in their pocket because of the tax cut that they
05:25were given.
05:26They didn't have to send it to Washington to be squandered.
05:28They kept it, their own hard-earned money.
05:30And we also cut all the taxes on tips and overtime and Social Security, and we infused
05:36all the policies with pro-growth issues.
05:38So if you're a small business owner, and I know we've got a bunch here, that's the
05:41mainstay, the lifeblood of the U.S. economy.
05:43We made life easier on the job creators, the risk takers, the entrepreneurs because we allowed
05:49them to write off on their taxes investment in their business.
05:52If you invest in R&D, you invest in expanding to a new facility or new manufacturing or adding
05:58jobs, you can write that off on your taxes, and that's a big, big deal to people.
06:02That's what's helped so many people.
06:04Now, we've got a lot more work to do.
06:05We need reinforcements to do it.
06:06You don't just flip a switch and get out a 40-year high inflation that Biden gave us,
06:10okay?
06:10It's a gradual process, and we're getting that done.
06:13So a great record to run on.
06:14We have far, second reason, we have far superior candidates, okay?
06:19Okay.
06:22I'm not going to tell you what an upgrade this will be.
06:24I've talked about Tano in every way, okay?
06:28I talk about Tano all around the country, okay?
06:30Because he is the poster child for what we're trying to do and accomplish this week, okay?
06:34Go Texas, that's right, and I do it.
06:37I might as well be wearing the Texas logo everywhere I go.
06:40And look, y'all, I'm in the middle of a 30-day nonstop campaign fundraising tour.
06:44I'm going to 18 states, 34 districts.
06:46We don't stop.
06:46We saved the best for last in South Texas, okay?
06:53I'm telling you, everywhere I go around the country, I talk about Tano, and Eric Flores
06:56is two guys, two great examples that are down here in South Texas.
06:59They're going to flip blue seats to red that we've been needing to do for a long time.
07:02We've got the right people at the right time.
07:05They know the people.
07:06They know who they represent, and they're ready to fight for your freedom, okay?
07:10We've got to have them, and we're going to win this thing.
07:12And so we have better, far superior candidates.
07:14For the first time in 10 years, we have a slight fundraising advantage over the Democrats, okay?
07:19Yeah, big deal, big deal.
07:21Now, my job is to go everywhere, and I'm supposed to raise $400 million for the party.
07:26This is a gross approximation, but I think we, by God's grace, I think we crossed that line this past
07:31week, okay?
07:32So we're on track to do it.
07:35It's an all-time breaker, but I'm not the best fundraiser in the party.
07:38The reason that we are doing that is because people like you understand the stakes are so high, right?
07:44This is for all the marbles.
07:45We cannot lose this midterm.
07:46I want you to imagine a nightmare scenario with these insurgent Marxist Democrats taking over the Congress.
07:53They would impeach the president on the first day.
07:56They've already said what they're going to do.
07:57They'll convert every committee of Congress into an investigative body.
08:00They'll spend every waking hour investigating the president and his family and the cabinet and going on this lawfare exercise.
08:05It would roil the markets.
08:07It would undermine people's confidence in the U.S. and the economy.
08:10It would empower our enemies across the globe at the worst possible time.
08:14We cannot allow them to do that, okay?
08:16The problem that we have right now is that the people coming behind us don't understand how dangerous these ideas
08:21are.
08:22They don't understand that socialism is a road to ruin.
08:25They don't understand that socialism is a step to get to communism.
08:28It's Marxist philosophy.
08:30They thought the communists, communism would be the utopia, the perfect society.
08:34They're dead wrong, okay?
08:36Every single time that's been tried over history, it has led to human suffering and poverty and famine and death.
