Beans Talk | Mike Johnson Shows he Has Moral Center as He Backs Herrera

0:00Hey, everybody, it's Monday, September 14th, 2026. I'm Allison Gil, and this is Beans Talk. Okay, everyone. This is just holy forking shirt balls. This clip I'm about to show you, I have no words. It's simply stunning. Watch. Details. I want to ask you. You talked about some of the more extreme DSA-type candidates. The Democrats have Republicans have some candidates like that on their own. For instance, Brandon Herrera, he's a House candidate in Texas. You've endorsed him. You've fundraised him for him. He's a before he started becoming a congressional correspondent. I'm a congressional candidate. He's a YouTuber, and he has said some offensive, sexually explicit, crude things about women and children. Here's a little bit of what he said just three years ago, and I want to warn viewers that this language is pretty gross. Just because you let somebody cream pie you doesn't mean I have to give a shit about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your controversy doesn't make

1:04you any less wrong about the dumb shit that you say. That's him disparaging moms. He's also in a video testing a Nazi era submachine gun. He called it the, quote, original ghetto blaster. You see him goose stepping to a Nazi marching song and a podcast two years ago, he joked, we should abolish old people. I have to say I know you're not a voter in that district. You didn't nominate this guy, but I was surprised to see you endorse him and fundraise him. Fundraise form. What does his candidate say about the Republican parties more extreme candidates? That's the testable language. You know how I feel about all of that, Jay. But also no Brandon Herrera has been out running a very effective campaign and explained to people that he has apologized for all of that. He was a podcaster and a provocateur and tried to get attention. That's not the way I speak or think and that's not the way most do. But that was his persona online. Right? Now he's running as a very serious candidate for Congress and a very thoughtful guy. I was with him at the convention. We've talked about all this. This is Brandon. When you get to Congress and he will be there. You're going

2:06to join this team and help us to save America, to preserve freedom and bring down cost for the American people. That guy's laser focused on doing that. And he has far superior to the candidate. He is running against down in that district in South Texas. I'm telling you this is a contrast election between common sense and crazy. Brandon Herrera will join the common sense team of Republicans making life better for Americans while the DSA candidates that you referenced, the Democrat, Social America have said what they want to do. They put it on paper, Jay. Their platform is abolish the border, abolish prisons, defund the police, defund the Pentagon and the Department of War, one of the most dangerous times in American history. They want to abolish the US Senate. They want to pack the Supreme Court and give one unit camera body to house all the power. Why? Because they want, they think over two or three cycles, they'll elect enough Marxist, socialist communists to take over the means of production. That means in a more private property ownership. Compare that agenda with some crazy things that people have said in their past. I think that the choice here is very simple. I think Republicans are going to win up and down the

3:08ballot around this country. And we're going to defy history, grow the majority and move the country forward just as we have been doing for this Congress in the last year and a half or more. I mean, yeah, we've talked about this particular candidate before. But notice at the end there, Jake Tapper sort of steps in it by saying, what do you say about the more extreme Republican candidates? As if to equate that particular candidate with some Democratic Socialists? I mean, the premise of the question is what I have a problem with. Can you name some of the extreme Democratic candidates? I mean, thank you for finally asking it. But I mean, I just reject the premise of your question that the Democrats have candidates as extreme as the come trophy goose stepping guy. Like, can you can you name those extreme candidates? And can you show me what policy position they support that goes along with whatever that guy's doing? Can we compare and contrast?

4:18Where are these extreme Democratic candidates? Do they want to like physically open up your mouth and shove health care down your throat? I don't understand. The equate this false equivalency. Are these are these extreme Democrats in the room with you right now, Jake? Anyhow, anyone who had any little bit of belief, a little shred of belief left in the fact that Mike Johnson's Christianity, which wasn't destroyed already when you learned that he adopted an adult child and they monitor each other's porn usage, that has to be completely any shred. Has to be in the shitter right now, right? Prop in that guy up, helping that guy fundraise? Oh, it's just a it's just a persona. He's an online persona. He's out there running a great campaign.

5:20I love how I love how he's like, well, obviously it's detestable language. You know how I feel about that, but he's a great, no, I don't know how you feel about that. Please elaborate. Mr. Johnson? Oh, he's he's apologized. He was a podcaster and a provocateur. It was an online persona. First of all, I don't believe you. People like that are who they are. That is who he is. Second of all, from now on, any Democrat who has asked about their association with Hassan Piker or whether they agree with Hassan Piker or what they think about Twitch streamer Hassan Piker, every time that's asked, there needs to be an immediate clap back. With how about you ask me about actual candidates running for office, like the Republican candidate

6:20who calls children come trophies and supports the Holocaust. Just bang, take them right there. It's just a podcaster and a provocateur. Right. Right. Right. I mean, any gotcha question should just be met with that because here you've got the speaker of the fucking House of Representatives. Self-proclaimed Christian, trying to genocide trans people in the name of family values, backing a podcaster and provocateur that is a literal Nazi. Let's stop the madness. All right. I've got that off my chest. It's time for your moxie moment for today. This is from Ashley A.Z. Finds, who reminds us, never to buy fun pajamas for your man.
