earlier i spoke with bill taylor, former us - bill taylor, former us ambassador to ukraine.ening. we heard from mitch mcconnell, chuck schumer, the democratic leader in the senate echoing various words, saying this bill was one of the most consequential measures congress has passed in years to protect america's security in the future, he says the very future of western democracy. do you agree with those sentiments? i agree. some of the senators said this is the most important vote they will have cast their careers. this is very big. in order to send the message, as chuck schumer said, to president putin, but also send a message to the ukrainians that we are there, we are going to support them with a big chunk of funds that will fund a lot of the weapons they need to defend themselves against the russians. if it is so important and so consequential, why has it taken so many months to get why has it taken so many months to get to get to this point? the ukrainians would like to know the answer to that, too. during that six month time there was a lot of soldiers who lost their l

everyone from her colleagues join the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine. who will support the bill. taylorve money until the presidential elections are held there. if this legislature were worthy of its name, each of us would demand peace in ukraine so that no one else would have to die. but we never hear calls for peace. peace is the last thing washington wants because it doesn't fit its business model. they say it improves our economy and creates jobs. the whole world is on fire, the eyes of the whole world are on us, and history will judge us by what we do here now. in other words, the main thing is not to look into the future; here now everything has gone like clockwork. 95 billion dollars distributed, 61 ukraine, 26 israel, eight in taiwan. the left column is where the votes of the democrats are rapidly growing, who backed up after biden’s go-ahead. johnson's legislative activity caused a feeling of disgust among the right wing of the republicans. for loyal trumpists, johnson is now a stranger among his own. the same marjarie taylor greene is gathering a support group to dismiss the s

institute of peace and to mary, to elizabeth june, heather, ambassador bill taylor. thank you so much for putting on this series with us and posting us so well here. also, thanks to everybody joining us online. this conversation is the most challenging of all of our series of four talks because of concerns very big unknowns, even though what comes after vladimir putin or putinism, if his regime is maintained by a successors, is already one of the biggest questions about russia for the past almost quarter-century since putin's sweeping into power ended a decade of post-soviet western ideal reform. looking to history is crucial. putin is very much the product of traditional political russian pressure, having resurrected the kind of authoritarian regime that existed not only during 70 years of soviet rule, but also centuries of czarism. but the reasons for putin's success and his longevity exist very much in the present day. among them are some of the determinants of russian character and russian culture. the country's vast geography, it's terrible climate, it's terribl

already heard voices, which speaking up among the house of representatives objecting to this new bill, marjorie taylor green, the noted margot republican, she was among those voices. here's what she had to say. as you speaker john santa voted against $300000000.00 for your grade. before we gave you the gamble along the majority of republicans, no one understands why it is now, your top priority to give you credit. $60000000000.00 more dollars you see was the out of step with the republicans by continuing to pass bills, dependent on democrats. everyone sees through this now voting on this new bill and the house of representatives is set to take place on saturday. and people are looking at recent events and ukraine and the new mobilization that has been carried out where you, cranny, and men are being drafted at, at a far higher rate. and wondering if this is part of the terms through which ukraine is now, possibly going to receive the aid after all. now, if these aid goes through and ukraine is expected to repay it, that makes ukraine even more behold into the united states in order to get as much of t

a hundred amendments, one of the first was introduced by an ardent opponent of the bill, congresswoman marjarie taylortext on her page on the social network. to everyone who votes for financial support from kiev, she offered to join the ukrainian army and separately realized that she was not joking at all. i’m serious, if you want to finance this war, then why don’t you go to it yourself and demonstrate your support for ukraine. in addition, marjarie taylor greene proposed stripping speaker mike johnson of his powers, accusing him of compromising with political opponents. is support for your resignation growing? it's growing, some people are even more angry than me. let's see what's next. i don’t know how long the republicans will put up with the fact that the republican speaker, whom we... are against, is trying to appease with a fourth package, which will be considered immediately after the ukrainian one. his main point is the financing of the kiev regime at the expense of russian assets frozen in the west, which are estimated at approximately $300 billion. however, it is not yet clear whether 61 bi

an ardent opponent of the bill, marjarie taylor greene, tried to speak out against such a blood businessongress were what it says it is, each of us would demand peace in ukraine so that no one else would die. but you have never heard anyone demand peace. no, peace is the last thing washington wants because it doesn't fit a business model that the american people don't support. they do not support a business model based on blood, murder and warriors in foreign countries, while this very government does nothing to protect our borders. instead, the law requires the state department and the pentagon to present the united states strategy on ukraine within 45 days, that is, how official washington sees victory over russia. this strategy should be designed for several years, set specific and achievable goals, identify and prioritize the interests of the nation. us security, and also include indicators that will be used to measuring progress towards such goals. the strategy must include an assessment for each fiscal year of the resources needed by the united states to achieve such goals, includi

state, and yet, the latest attempt, so to speak, to prevent the adoption of this bill, refers to ukraine. margie and taylorene made amendments, she proposed to completely reset all this money, well, naturally , no one agreed to this, but she gave a very powerful, moral rebuke to all those who continue to earn money in the united states from the war. american taxpayers have already sent $113 billion to ukraine, most of this money missing, this is maintaining the sick business model that the american government is pursuing, it requires... congress to continue to vote for the allocation of money, to continue to finance wars abroad, despite the fact that the americans do not support this business model, built on blood, murders and wars in other countries, the government is still doing nothing to ensure the security of our own borders, if we use the metaphors of margery taylor greene, then since we are talking about business, then time is money, no one will wait right away after voting in the house of representatives , the bill will go to the senate, then for biden to sign, but also... they have already made it

nevertheless the last attempt, so to speak, to prevent the adoption of this bill, meaning about ukraine, there were amendments from margie and taylorreene, she proposed to completely reset all this money, well, naturally , no one agreed to this, but she gave a very powerful moral rebuke to all those who continue to make money in the usa from the war, so let's listen to what she said. american taxpayers. they have already sent $113 billion to ukraine, most of this money has not been received. this is keeping sick business model that the american government is pursuing, it requires congress to continue to vote on the allocation of money, to continue to fund wars abroad, despite the fact that americans do not support this business model, built on blood, murder, wars in other countries, it is still the government does nothing to secure our own borders. if we use margerry taylor greene's metaphors, then... we are talking about business, then no one will wait for time, money, immediately after the vote in the house of representatives the bill will be sent to the senate, then for biden to sign, but the pentagon has already made it clear t

i think that president trump came out against the very bills that are the basis for marjorie taylor greene's position and i think that ultimately mike johnson, speaker johnson will be in office as speaker on until the end of this year at a minimum, we'll see what happens with the election in november, but i don't think the marjorie taylor greene is gaining traction in what she's trying to do. >> but when you talk about the bills that she is against and the trump is against to as why she was against them. we're talking about this ukraine bill, among others. it was actually on the show, congressman, you referred to marjorie taylor greene as moscow. marjorie. >> and it seems to have stuck. i know you're aware of this, but russian state television is now showing in new york post cover using your nickname for marjorie taylor greene moscow marjorie. >> and they are now taking it a step further, listened to what they said the little green marjorie taylor greene, you've just shown is a beauty. she is one of a few members of the us congress who is trying to look like a person in an old-fashioned sens

aid to ukraine, did not support the bill on the aid of the united states of america to ukraine, the representative of the republican party from the trumpist camp, tayloren, who made a number of absurd amendments to the bill on aid to ukraine, criticized the document during the discussion in house of representatives, let's see how it went. united states taxpayers have already sent $113 billion to ukraine, and much of this money is not taken into account this is a continuation of the sick business model run by the american government. the federal government continues to fund the military-industrial complex. and it's a business model that requires congress to keep voting money, to keep funding foreign wars. and this is a business model that americans do not support. support a business model built on blood, murder, and war in other countries, while this same government does nothing to secure our border. after the vote , taylor green showed disapproval a gesture that she does not support the decision of the house of representatives. what is interesting is that during this vote in the congress of the united states of america , victoria sparts did not vote i

the fisa bill goes down, the marjorie taylor greene threats. give us the big picture.. have you ever seen anything like this before, and do you have any hope at all it'll get better? >> i've never seen it. we don't need to get too much into the procedural weeds here, but they can't even bring bills up for a vote. that's what happened yesterday on the floor. they didn't even vote down the foreign spying bill. they weren't able to bring it up. the house is quickly turning into the senate where you need huge, bipartisan support to do anything. sounds nice. but the house has been able to skate by without donald trump getting involved in their business until now. kevin mccarthy was able to pass a big, bipartisan debt limit increase with donald trump largely staying quiet. now, donald trump is front and center. this is the reality that i lived in for two years, where he wades in casually, usually half-informed on what we're doing, and takes things down. like yesterday, the fisa reforms that were in there, the things he asked for, he ends up scuttling the bill by doing a simp

congresswoman mergerie taylor greene proposed adding a clause to the bill stating that ukraine wouldend the allocated she will only get money if she holds elections, closes biological laboratories and reports on their work. green also offered to colleagues who can’t stand it. if you want to fund a war, why not take part in it, show your support for ukraine. the topic of the special operation was repeatedly raised today at the congress of the all-russian association for the development of local self-government, with heads of municipalities taking part in it. throughout the country, including from our new regions, restoration of infrastructure, support for fighters, for many leaders, this is a deeply personal story, which they also shared at a meeting with speaker of the federation council valentina matvienko. oleg shishkin, first things first. residents of nevinnomysk know exactly where they can find their leader, paratrooper, reserve lieutenant colonel, hero awarded with a star in the second chechen war, the working day begins with the reception of citizens at exactly 93 in the morni

and reality-based republicans because should he choose to not try to get marjorie taylor greens approval for every bill that is an impossible task and she threatens him every time he makes a move that she doesn't like. until he decides actually make a power move and say this is the way i'm going to run this house and have an assertive role which i do not expect them to take it is no republican leader has been able to do this thus far, he will be subject to the demands of marjorie taylor green for the rest of his tenure as long as she sees fit. >> he just went to mar-a-lago last week to hug it out with donald trump. didn't that bring him into the good graces of marjorie taylor green? how did things worsened? >> yeah but you have to look at the power role that she is playing. we don't want to admit this because like donald trump she is this circus -like figure but look what she's doing. she's making the speaker of the house respond to her directly saying i will not resign. she is an impeachment manager walking over articles of impeachment to the senate for alejandro mayorkas. she has a leading role in th

bill to aid ukraine on the floor. they passed it. they passed it with democratic votes and mike johnson stays, marjorie taylor greene would have lost. paul: let's bring in our panel, columnist kim strawser land bill mcgurn and kyle peterson. you heard that from chad. all of this would appear to vindicate speaker mike johnson's policy of breaking up those bills so each could pass and you could have different coalitions with each one. is this vindication for his strategy? >> absolutely. i did the math. in the end if you look at the ukraine bill, 72% of the house voted for it to the israel bill, 84% and the taiwan bill, 89% and the question is why didn't these things pass back in october given the overwhelming support? the answer, some paul holdouts among the republican party who used the fight with kevin mccarthy to strengthen the ability to block things on the floor and mike johnson was concerned about these threats, of a motion to vacate. he decided what changed it is not just the republican majority got angry about all this obstruction but democrats got tired of it too and their indication and willingness to join with republicans to

bill. and we also heard there from marjorie taylor greene that there was some kind of deal believes and this is why this bill passed. what what are your thoughts yeah, as you mentioned, jeffries is pretty tight lip there, but i think the main concession was simply the fact that these four foreign aid bills are being voted on. >> this is what democrats have been demanding for months ever since the senate pass its own version of chemo, referees have been saying, bring the senate bill to the floor hello, mike johnson has done essentially is do exactly that. but three bills, you grade israel in the indo-pacific are almost identical to the senate bills. and the fourth, those you mentioned with tiktok bands and other sanctions. that's not super partisan johnson didn't tie this to border funding. you didn't tie to other poison pill piece of legislation. this is largely a democrat when in many ways, which is now correct myself and the bills haven't passed it. i was talking about the role that procedural motion to advance the bill next, cohen. good to see you. thank you. >> let's go now to cnn, white

the anchor over the spending bills that johnson pushed through with democratic aid earlier this spring, if that anger will continue to foment and grow this marjorie taylor greene coalition with massey and others or if johnson can give any of these folks things they want to see if he can get them to back off. he was defiant when passing the spending bills, and then with the aid to ukraine and israel. he kind of said if this cost me my job, i will have done the job. that is what we are watching now. that defiance was adjusting thing to see from a very unexpected speaker. none of us at the beginning of this year thought we would see speaker mike johnson. host: a reminder of what the margins are in terms of votes in the house and what role democrats are likely to play if this motion to vacate comes up. guest: johnson's majority is tiny. minuscule. we are talking two to three votes. what is interesting, the larger marjorie taylor greene -- the longer marjorie taylor greene weights to activate this motion to vacate his there are a lot of vacancies in the house and almost all of them heavily favor republicans. some of those vacancies that are creating this tig

bill for israel and ukraine. as republican lawmakers like marjorie taylor greene and thomas massey dig into push for his ouster.come everybody i am neil cavuto. with school first with chad and how all this is playing out. chad? >> it's all over this foreign aid package. their 4 distant bills 1 for israel and 1 for ukraine and 1 for taiwan and a combination bill to boost ukraine and the house would vote individually than lend them for the senate. >> the reason for that frankly is unconcerned israel may not pass through the senate right now is not included and separate them. none of our priorities would be reflected. >> conservatives confronted johnson on the house floor today and attends conversation. they are livid there is no provision in the bill for the border. johnson says that would blow up the bill. he needs democrats to support the plan, some progressives opposed the package because it helps israel. >> personally i believe we have have conditions enforced on newest military assistance and ensure human rights are protected. and international is adhered to. those conditions are not presently in the bill. >

taylor greene yesterday morning. later in the day, the rule to bring the reauthorization bill of the fisa section 702 to the floor failed. alan in tennessee, independent. your thoughts on the debate. caller: yes, i have got two points. first, this is not accidental. this is a systematic abuse of the system. the fbi has done hundreds of thousands of warrantless searches. even if you took it to a fisa court, they lied with impunity, and the fisa is a rubberstamp. we know that. christopher wray goes in front of congress and doesn't answer truthfully about any of it. the other thing i would like to make a note of so viewers will understand about shaping the narrative, you read an article about how fisa is benign and has all these protections. he could have just as easily read a story about the hundreds of thousands of abuses, how the fbi systematically targets people, how they use technology to do things that are specifically prohibited by the constitution, so that is the way c-span shapes the debate with selective reading of articles, typically out of " the new york times" and "washington post." i'm aware of it and i think

prevent the adoption of this bill, refers to ukraine. in other countries, the government also does nothing to ensure security our own borders. if we use the metaphors of margery taylor greene, then since we are talking about business, then time is money, no one will wait, immediately after the vote in the house of representatives the bill will go to the senate, then for biden to sign, well, the pentagon has already made it clear that they were preparing in advance to a positive outcome, the us department of defense has already, as they say, formed about this. the washington post writes today that it has formed the first package of military aid to ukraine, which may include 155mm shells for howitzers, shells for artillery medium-range and the necessary ammunition for air defense systems, and if biden does not delay, the senate does not delay, and the chances are minimal, then most likely, according to american military officials, the first bill will already... the money approved today will go to ukraine, well, in the next couple of weeks. valentin bogdanov, ivan udkin, news. usa. a memorial dedicated to the deceased war correspondent semyon eremin appeared in the izv

johnson errs that the current praise for moderates from pushing ahead on the bill but far right members like marjorie taylor greene, are enraged over his decision to work with democrats and has now vowed to oust him again if he does not resign. stewart, i want to start with the wall street journal and the headline they wrote, quote, mr. johnson's behavior is called leadership, and the gop would be more popular and better able to govern if more of its members showed such metal themselves or have more respect for those who demonstrate it. i'm going to take a wild guess here, you are down with that? >> i agree with that. two things can be true, mike johnson deserves credit, a lot of credit for really making a historic decision that was the first time in a long time that you saw members of a european senders, saying god bless america, but it's important not to over ., it's a dumbing down here, of what it means to be a speaker of the house. what he did, he didn't vote the way that putin wanted him to vote. and i think that's a pretty low bar for leadership. and we still have this reality that the majority of rep

kremlin controlled media seething after the house passed the ukraine aid bill, while praising republican representative marjorie tayloro derail it leaving former republican congressman ken buck to give her the nickname moscow marjorie on outfront and moscow, marjorie is focused now on this ukraine issue and getting are talking points from the kremlin majid it they a little green congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, who new york post already dressed in a huge shank ahead with a star, officially putting her in the ranks of kremlin agents called speaker johnson, a democrat, elected by ukraine. >> but greene also said that johnson betrayed not only republicans, but the whole of the usa. >> nonetheless, the us military aid will be bigger this year compared to the past years. >> and of course, there is nothing good in that russia's foreign minister going even further. the nuclear confrontation, but he was epic western as a teetering dangerously on the brink of a direct military clash between nuclear powers, fraught with catastrophic consequences particularly that it's the trigger of western nuclear states that are among ke

we know, there's this movement among house conservatives led by marjorie taylor greene, to oust him from power because of this billdo you think this is a threat for his leadership? >> i take everything seriously, but i don't. i think it's a relatively small number of republican members, just as in mccarthy's case, eight people. >> exactly. >> but i don't think there's unified democratic support. there was unified democratic support to remove the speaker. i think both sides have seen how dangerous this is, how irresponsible it is, and quite frankly, i think it's unlikely that democrats who supported ukraine -- not as many supported israel as we would have liked, did support ukraine, unlikely to remove the speaker over that. to be fair, they removed mccarthy after he did what he asked them to do keep the government funded. i don't think that's going to happen in this case. but if somebody wants to do it it's within the rules and they can take their shot. >> you're saying that democrats you trust would protect speaker johnson from being ousted because they wouldn't vote -- >> i don't think you would lose very many re

bill next week. it will include assistance to ukraine and support for israel. congresswoman marjarie taylorreported this and noted that combining two issues in one initiative is a bad idea. so a british journalist and economist writes that johnson is facing a rebellion by fellow party members dissatisfied with the financing of kiev. if the bill goes to a vote, they may initiate the removal of the politician. wherein. the speaker of the lower house of parliament himself held meeting with donald trump at the maralaga estate, it seems that they jointly decided that they would no longer keep the kiev as a mockery. if the speaker moves forward with a ukraine aid bill, we will consider it urgently, and we are thinking about making it in the form of a loan, not just a gift. the former owner of the white house has repeatedly stated that butin was the head of state and that the current ukrainian conflict would not have happened, and everyone found an explanation for this. to brussels. we need ukraine because it is a large country with a large volume resources, the largest production in the agricultu

bill. alicia: let's talk about the motion to vacate. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene now has two other members supporting her effort here. but a vast number of republicans are saying, they don't want to go down this road right now. but that doesn't mean they're exactly thrilled with speaker johnson either. >> he's going to keep his job. do you think that chuck schumer is going to want to lose mike johnson? why would chuck schumer want to lose mike johnson? you could ask yourself that question. alicia: so, congressman, essentially what he's saying is that democrats find speaker johnson useful to their own agenda. what's your response? >> i think that mike johnson has one of the hardest jobs in the country, in the world, trying to bring together bipartisan legislation. i applaud speaker johnson's courage and it is what the american people want. i hear back, all of them want republicans and democrats working together. well, this is democrats and republicans working together in a bipartisan way to get stuff done and people want to see more of that. kudos to speaker

taylor greene because if he wanted him gone, he would have just unleashed and marjorie taylor greene would've put the bill in with privilege, in which case the seat would be vacant. there is a little bit of that kind of effect that donald trump has but the reality for johnson is he needs trump more than trump needs him. >> he is weak and trump strong. when mccarthy went down right after january 6th, that it was weirdly one of trumps weakest moments and mccarthy still went down there. >> and gave trump the power. >> can we just talk for a minute how remarkable it is that an unelected individual, okay, is currently holding the reins to the united states congress question that donald trump is not the president. i can't even believe i have to keep saying that. donald trump is not the president. yet, with one social media post, because we can't call it a truth. that is what we call his posts now, with one post on his social site, with one phone call, he can upend what the caucus is doing. i did meet the press now yesterday and i was sitting next to mark short, he was the alleged affairs director at the white h
