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.”
