"I hope everyone had a good long weekend full of cheer, decadence, and whatever makes you happy-because vacation time's over, the alarm clock is ringing, and the ringtone is Mike Johnson (R-La.) calling himself a firefighter, a mental health counselor, and a House Speaker all in one. Because what everyone needs is a therapist whose tell-all answer is "I do not know.""
"On Wednesday, Johnson and his wife, Kelly, appeared on The Katie Miller Podcast to discuss things like marriage, Thanksgiving, the Roman empire, and what it's like to lead the lower chamber. And maybe because Johnson-for once-was not asked about the Epstein files, or grilled about his dogged loyalty to Donald Trump, he was free and limitless to speak his mind. And as it turns out, the one thing Johnson does worse than providing no answers is providing some."
Mike Johnson and his wife Kelly appeared on The Katie Miller Podcast to discuss marriage, Thanksgiving, the Roman Empire, and leading the House. Johnson described the role as having no downtime, comparing it to being a firefighter who must put out crises around the clock. He said he often acts like a mental-health counselor, trying to sit and listen when pressure and stakes are high and votes are tight. Kelly said Johnson habitually overestimates what he can accomplish and underestimates how long tasks take. He was free to speak candidly when not pressed about the Epstein files or his loyalty to Donald Trump.
