An In-depth Look at the Imminent Threat to American Democracy

25 minutes

Join us as we delve into the disturbing connections between House Speaker Mike Johnson and a Russian intelligence operation that threatens the very foundation of American democracy. With the 2024 elections on the horizon and Donald Trump as the presumptive GOP nominee, the stakes have never been higher.

Key points from the episode:

Mike Johnson's role in halting crucial military aid to Ukraine has strained relationships with Ukrainian President Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska.

The revelation of Johnson's decades-long support for Russia's anti-LGBTQ policies, including his introduction of the "Marriage and Conscience Act" in Louisiana, bears striking similarities to Russia's "Anti-Propaganda Law."

The World Congress of Families (WCF), an international conservative Christian organization with close ties to Russia, has been a nexus for anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion advocacy, aligning closely with Russian social policy.

Johnson's potential role in the January 6th insurrection and the recent Supreme Court decision that could secure his position as Speaker of the House set the stage for a more severe constitutional crisis.

The growing evidence of Russian influence within the GOP and the potential consequences of having a majority party, Speaker, and President-elect beholden to Vladimir Putin.
