obviously, it will be had by hakeem jeffries. i am a pragmatist. results in us getting more things done on the other side of this ukraine vote, that is something we should absolutely consider. >> thank you separator analysis and time. congressman jim himes of connecticut. house intelligence committee ranking member. thank you, sir. >>> we have lots this evening, including the apparent double standard universities are applying to student protests and diversity of thought. michelle goldberg from "the new york times," joins me on that. iran is responding to israel's strike overnight by denying a strike happened overall. what the downplaying means for raised fears of a wider war in the region, next. on, next. mor. any time of the day. what people don't know is that not all dirt is the same. you need dirt with the right kind of nutrients. look at this new organic soil from miracle-gro. everybody should have it. it worked great for us. this is as good as gold in any garden. if people only knew that it really is about the dirt. you're a dirt nerd. huge di

aguilar: look, i feel very confident speaking for the democratic caucus that we want hakeem jeffries to be speaker, whether that happens in this calendar year or in january. that's the focus. mathematically, it's possible but right now we're just focused on this week ahead and ensuring we provide the important support to israel, ukraine, humanitarian assistance for that region as well as priorities in the pacific. that's the focus and the goal obviously from a math perspective we can't rule that out. but it's nothing we're spending a lot of time on right now. reporter: speaker johnson yesterday did he speak to leader jeffries about the plan of his? has there been any communication? do you have any idea what he's doing? mr. aguilar: that's a question for the speaker and the leader. i know they had a conversation that he indicated that in the leadership meeting. we're still waiting on the substance, i said. that part matters. we've seen some of the readouts that speaker johnson has conveyed to his conference and like the vice chair said, there's some important pieces that need to be in

mccarthy is that mike johnson believes and and he understands when he needs to go and talk to hakeem jeffries. so ultimately, what i imagined will happen is if the speaker feels like he is actually facing any eviction i think you'll go and talk to leader jeffries and they will decide whether or not leader jeffries can offer him some support all right. >> we'll leave it there are congresswoman jasmine crockett glad you could be with us. thank you so much have a good one. all right. so among the packages approved today, $26 for israel, i want to bring in nic robertson, who is there in jerusalem. and so nick was this the expectation their& now that has been passed what's the expectation on when some of this the funding or weaponry we'll make it there to israel yeah, i think the expectation was that it would pass eventually, but of course it's important. >> i mean, imagined a week ago this night, iran sent more than 350 missiles here. israel fired back in the week it seems to be that part of the conflict seem to be over. but imagine a scenario where actually the escalation that happened, israel w

largely because it's probably hakeem jeffries. but even if republicans keep the majority, i think that's where you see mike johnson come up short with the votes. if they were to call for a motion to vacate now, and it appears that they will, i suspect democrats will back mike johnson, and the reason why, ayman, is this. there is very little legislation of consequence between now and the end of the year. on matters that really do count, including keeping the government open past october 1. johnson has shown us that he's willing to work with democrats to make that happen. so i would say to hakeem jeffries and democrats, look, it's okay to date mike johnson for about seven months. it doesn't mean you have to marry him, right? this is going to be a short- term relationship until you take a gamble. i don't think anybody wants disruption at this point. i think mike johnson hangs on through the end of the calendar year. >> okay, interesting take on why to stay in a short-term relationship there. but, eugene, i got to ask you, though, wit

and it's hakeem jeffries.ere may be a way to find a path forward. and that is a nice point of it. but to your knowledge, speaker johnson has not reached out to the democratic leader, hakeem jeffries. so all of this conversation about what democrats say johnson, what will they do. and that path forward that will include democrats that we're open to the discussion. and if he wants to continue to be speaker and he knows and realizes that the functional majority of the house of representatives is comprised of democrats and republicans, then he can have that conversation with hakeem jeffries. we could find the path forward and do the work of the american people. then we'll litigate who will lead congress in the next session at the november ballot box. >> and that is the rub. if i'm speaker of mike johnson at a certain point, i have to do math and the math tells me that i'm not in the job come january. that's what the math says. and the house, they are saying that i'm not in this job and it will be a question of do

and then, for democrats, is a question of hakeem jeffries not being a speaker of the house. do you really want to cause -- not do you have this weeklong speaker fight? that is a lot of congressional jargon. you are basically voting on whether to kill it outright. >> the house is a rough and ready place. my johnson will be just fine. i served 20 years in the military. it is my honor to be in congress. i served with some real scumbags. matt gets, he paid minors to have sex with him at the parties. hobgood endorsed by another neo-nazi. these people used to walk around with white hoods at night and now they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime. >> that frustration is out in the clear open. >> that is a stunning series of statements to make. the chummy club of congress is not a chummy from place right now. it is actually an extremely toxic environment. that is why you have seen members of congress leave before their terms are up. >> you mentioned democrats stepping into save speaker johnson's job. could they cut -- could they conceptualize what we heard from the cali

basically, he and hakeem jeffries are cospeakers of the house right now.use johnson can get done without hakeem jeffries and the democrats. [cheers and applause] so it is out of necessity that way. i hope that there are some places where we can find some agreement, but i'll be honest with you, i am not holding my breath. we will see where things go. but you all see it. i basically work in the world's worst reality tv show. you know, it is just -- >> ronny: [laughter] speaking of that, you are on the ground there. presumably, you talk with these people every day, if not all the so when you are talking to your best friend matt gaetz, for example -- >> jordan: you did say that. >> ronny: your friend matt gaetz -- >> edit that out. >> ronny: when you are talking, is there some kind of, like, we put the cameras off right now, let's just talk? or is it always just, you know, this guy is always on? everyone is always on, even in private meetings, everyone is still yelling about jewish space lasers? >> [laughs] when i came into congress, i had a lot of people ask

at the end of the day, we will get behind our leader, hakeem jeffries. i'm sure he's thinking about this question. he is lined up to lead the entire house. that is who should be the speaker. it time for mike johnson to hand over the gavel to democrats. we are the ones that are solving the world's problems. we are the ones defending democracy. we are the ones saving the government from a short down. so, i think we are leading. we are showing how responsible leadership looks like. i think that mike johnson will have some issues in the weeks ahead. >> real quickly, you are studying speaker johnson shut and the gavel over to leader jeffries, why do that when you all are in control of the chamber without even being in the majority? >> it sure feels that way sometimes. there is no question that we have really been a consequential force, even though we are in the minority this year. i credit our leadership to that, i credit the president and the president bold leadership in leading us as a party and the republican party has been one big clown show all year. so,

hakeem jeffries said this was a chamberlain and churchill moment.ll moment to send a message to our allies, you can depend on america so china and russia can stop taking advantage. >> four bills, what if two or three of them pass, do those go over or do all four have to pass for them to go over to the senate? >> yeah, i think the way it will work is the way they have done this rule is whatever passes gets put together and sent over. i don't think it all has to pass together. it will all pass together tomorrow. at least the three underlying bills of israel, ukraine, humanitarian aid. that will pass together. you know, whether the side car bill has to pass to go over, i don't think that's the case. >> should we take your caucus getting behind this as a sign the party doesn't intend to let speaker johnson get removed if a motion to vacate is triggered by the response that he has had now. i know you personally said you would help johnson. do you think many of your other colleagues would. >> i think what you should look at is that democrats and republica

. >> so i'm going to support, you know, whatever helps a hakeem jeffries become speaker or function as speaker. because essentially if you look at paying our bills to lift the debt ceiling, keeping the government open, crisis after crisis hakeem jeffries has delivered more votes than the republicans and never in the history of any parliament certain certainly in our congress have you seen the minority party provide the majority of votes on anything of consequence? so am i open to it? yes. we have to keep the government open. we have to fund ukraine. we need security at the border but i'm going to work with our leadership to make sure that our priorities, which are the american peoples priorities, as we put people over politics, are achieved here >> if you don't mind me asking a follow-up, congressman, does that mean that in the circumstance where johnson's speakership maybe going down in flames, that you might be of the mindset that perhaps that should go ahead and happen in the possibility that may come to pass that speaker jeffries, that hakeem jeffries could become the speaker of th

would that look like you not voting for hakeem jeffries and actually casting a vote for mike johnson >> yeah. no, that's not what the vote is. >> so you >> don't vote on the speaker, right? it's different from what you saw on television again here, i cast my vote or hakeem jeffries and they cast their vote for kevin mccarthy, the vote is on a a motion to vacate and there'll be a motion to table that. so first, you'll vote on the table. right. and so democrats could decide to table the motion so we don't even get to the actual vote if the table were to fail, then the motion to vacate is either just yes to declare the speaker's chair vacant or no, to declare the speaker's chair vacant, it's never on the person so that's why when i'm saying is i'm not voting for my johnson. i'm not saving mike johnson. i'm voting against marjorie taylor greene. >> got it. >> even though in a >> way you wouldn't be voting for mike johnson, who's good owing to your home state today to mar-a-lago to hold a press conference with donald trump when they are going to engage in election conspiracies. once again

and hakeem jeffries saying that the lac at our conversation is one that will come after the vote. all right. mano. i'll get back to you in a moment. let's now check in with priscilla alvarez, white house correspondent joining us from washington. so what is the position of the white house as it to awaits of the results of today's votes will leading up to this bot, president biden has thrown, had thrown his support behind these national security bills. and of course, these are funds that the president asked for last year and the white house has maintained that they are urgent and necessary especially for ukraine and often over the course of the last few months when president biden would speak about these funds to ukraine, he would frame this as a national security priority, noting that they should not be ceding any ground to russia. now, this week in a wall street journal op-ed, the president said that this was quote, a pivotal moment and the y's, the white house office of management and budget echo that in a statement just yesterday saying, quote, passing this legislation would sen

. >> next, house minority leader hakeem jeffries holding a news conference to discuss the senate voting along party lines to dismiss the impeachment articles against homeland security secretary alejandra mayorkas. he comments on foreign aid and efforts by some republican members to remove mike johnson is house speaker. speaker jeffries: for months, america's national security interests have been put on hold and undermined by a group of extreme pro-putin republicans who are determined to stop us from standing with our allies across the world. in particular, the ukrainian people, who have fought bravely and valiantly in defense of principles like democracy, freedom and truth. the time has come for the house of representatives to act decisively in america's national security interest. this is a churchill or chamberlain moment. we can either confront russian aggression in defense of democracy or we can allow the pro-putin extreme maga republicans to appease him. as events have shown in modern world history, appeasement of aggression gets you nowhere. when this was tried at the beginning of

i'm going to listen to what hakeem jeffries says. i think as you saw the caucus has the utmost respect for our leader, which is why he's able to keep the entire caucus together. i mean, he's been tremendous. this doesn't happen without his leadership but look, i've said this before and i will say it again. there is not a circumstance where i sit in the people's house and allow marjorie taylor greene to throw the world into chaos and to embolden china, to embolden russia by letting her garbage stop us from standing by our allies the message be to the world, not just ukraine and israel, all of our allies, they will look at us now as not dependable. they will say decracy owes on the decline, demo crowds are not goin stand for that. i imagine i'm in here something like that from hakeem jeffries today and there you're going to have a special caulk caucus meetings to talk about this for sure, among other things congressman, thanks for coming on. >> jared moskowitz. thank you. appreciate it sir. >> all right. thank you. a disturbing assessm

signed sincerely, hakeem jeffries, democratic leader. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to section 3-z of house resolution 5, the house stands adjourned until 9:30 a.m. on friday, april 26, 20 adrianne: the u.s. house gambling out after a brief pro forma session. they will be back in session next week. the senate today is working on a house-approved foreign aid package that would provide funding to israel, ukraine and taiwan. as always, follow live coverage here on c-span. we take you back now to a live discussion on housing policy with acting hud secretary adrian todman. >> -- and how those rick perry a are distributed? --and how those criteria are distributed? adrianne: so i will show my age just a little bit. i did not play a hand in the creation of continuing care but i was in the building as a much, much younger staffer when the concept was created by the leadership that you just mentioned, and what we tried to do is make sure that the nonprofits who are at the front of helping our un-housed brothers and sisters and neighbors across

it's quite possible speaker johnson loses his position and will have hakeem jeffries become the speakeryou republicans worried about what happens the consequences of the election in november? >> family fights are best kept internal and plague those out on national tv is not the way to solve a problem. i know no one could manage the house better than my good friend johnson. he's one of the best conservative speakers we've had and we understand you're out there fighting but you're doing more harm than good. there's a reason there's only a handful of you. nobody's following you. you're not leading and you're being detrimental to the american public and certainly to the republican party. stuart: i would agree with that . senator roger marshall, sorry it was so short on time today. my apoll >> is but come back ad see -- apoll >> is >> ajim jos but come back and see us soon. investigation into the temu app, t-e-m-u. lauren: it's like amazon marketplace and very popular here in the u.s. for its cheap prices. they ship overa million packages a week here. senators tom cotton and marco rubio wrot

going back to a 2020 when hilary clinton. 2006 he met hakeem jeffries.we are talking about russian collusion. 2008 and in 2000 and it was the gore/bush campaign. election interference -- election denying is not the issue. the issue is she defended donald trump. they will not allow it that voice on that network. what does that mean? 51%, 52%, whatever the number is to support donald trump do not allow it to have heard. so how in the world can they pass judgment on donald trump being antidemocracy everything in the power to influence and change the election outcome in america. cookson brilliantly put. this is the administration known for censorship to courts and found it outrageous. we have not seen anything like this and woodrow wilson but again woodrow wilson and joe biden have something in common. they both started out as racist segregation. i want to thank you for all the great work that you do that that mediate research center my friend, take care of what is cirkul? cirkul is the fuel you need to take flight. cirkul is the energy that gets you to the

i think minority leader who could change -- hakeem jeffries knows how to operate with this minority andmike johnson's head. >> mike johnson telling far right extremists no, does that mean it's the beginning of the end for him or the beginning of the end for them? >> you know, going out of business sale for any optimism with the republican party. i hate to be want to think they might be able to rise to a higher level. i suspect two months from now, mike johnson will be speaker of the house. you have to realize, they were basically down to putting an ad in craigslist to find a speaker. it was so painful for this party and the members of the party who were trying to focus on the reelection that i do not think they will do with. marjorie taylor greene, nobody likes and people think she is this odd, angry person. she is not someone people are drawn to. i think he will still be speaker. i think he will stay. >> juanita, i want to go back to the last thing you said. some democrats have signaled their willing to save johnson if this motion moves forward. others are telling axios they will not l

speaker hakeem jeffries. i mean, what what are some of the scenarios that you're running through?tainly performative on marjorie taylor greene's part and whether or not he's actually going to be ousted. i think that's unlikely at this point but the bottom line will be, one of the democrats do. and hopefully unlike speaker mccarthy, speaker johnson will reach out to hakeem jeffries and have conversations about what we can do to move forward jointly. and that will probably involve the bills that you just mentioned, as well as some other aspects moving forward. >> and i mean, are democrats i did talk to one democratic congressman last week who said, you know what, if speaker johnson can get us aid to ukraine, okay. maybe we might help him out a little bit if it gets if the going gets tough, what's your sense of it? >> well,his has been t least productive cgress may be ihistory so far. so som productionould be importt. >> and these bail amount i ul'necessily oppose thati real, real would depe on wh he decides to do with respect to dealing with hakeem jeffries, even speaker mccarthy, i

they know what happened in the fall when hakeem jeffries kept getting more votes than any republican candidate did the -- and they would probably rather do this behind closed doors. your question to have democrats put up again and again would be completely untenable for the party this close to an election. republicans want to kick him out but prefer for him to resign, throwing his hat, similar to what john bader did when he was speaker. it does not look like he will do that. they can hash this out in private. to eugene's point, i've asked many of them, who do you want to see become speaker? none of them can give me a definitive answer. >> i do want to pivot and ask you about tik-tok, the man expected to pass in the senate. it would take up to a year to actually ban the app. cut public pressure have an impact here? you got the aclu and others banning together. do you think they will band to come from? >> we've seen it in the house. i think some of those more libertarian in the senate right now would say they don't want to do something like that. because it sets a dangerous precedent.

i think the american people are seeing hakeem jeffries is leading a unified coalition.rats are look at the best interest of america not just the best interest of their party pray that is what speaker johnson did his he came around to the best interest of america. not just the best interest of his party as we have seen in the past. >> i want to play some sound of marjorie taylor greene on "sunday morning futures" and let's listen. click speaker johnson refuses to use his power as speaker of the house to do any type of negotiating. to secure the southern border and stop the madness in our country. the people criticizing me are not the american people by the republican party as the party that needs to change and may need to start reflecting the will of their voters might actually do the job instead of just running their mouth constantly every single campaign cycle. arthel: leslie, what do you make of her remarks? >> i criticized her a lot and i am american, i was born here as i'm a proud card-carrying american, if you will put her antics are not going to work and i will te

listen to how hakeem jeffries phrased it when he was asked the question, would democrats come to mike was right. >> now, i made the observation, not a declaration, the observation that if the speaker were to do the right thing and allow the house to work its will with an up and down vote on the national security bill then i believe that there are a reasonable number of democrats who would not want to see the speaker fall as a result of doing the right thing. >> reporter: now, that is significant that the current democratic leader is at least opening the door to the idea of a group of democrats either sitting on the sideline or actively working to help mike johnson keep his job. that may seem like, chris, oh, he doesn't have to worry about this anymore. it's exactly the opposite. what mike johnson doesn't want is to hold on to a speakership at the behest of democrats. that puts him in a more difficult situation than the one he's currently in. he's standing still at this impasse right now. what he would really like to do is pass ukraine funding, pass fisa reform without worrying about a

i think what hakeem jeffries and democrats largely know is, you can bail him out now.esn't mean you have to be in a relationship forever. this can be a short-term relationship until democrats take back the house or until republicans topple mike johnson next january. >> i guess it's speed dating or something on the house floor. charlie sykes, the ukraine aid likely to pass. it could almost be too late given how many losses they have suffered. a lot of people have died in the last six months while, frankly, these people have been screwing around. >> they have been dithering. let's not pass over what an extraordinary this is. you have a temporary break in congressional dysfunction. what you saw on the house floor today was basically a bipartisan coalition government. the other extraordinary thing is whatever happened with mike johnson, who did drag his feet and lead to so many deaths in ukraine. somehow did find religion on ukraine. this is a really remarkable moment that you have this very, very strong bipartisan vote for israel and for ukraine, more than 300 votes, in d

hakeem jeffries: that's a declaration, not an observation but that statement still stands. reporter: to be clear, you would save him? leader jeffries that's a : declaration of observation. we'll have to have the conversation before the house caucus. first thing's first, we still have to get the national security -- reporter: i want to just clarify -- because of gamesmanship and partisanship on the others of the aisle. the extreme mag republican said we cannot meet the national security needs of the american people until we make changes to border policy. and then, the extreme mag republicans killed a border policy bipartisan piece of legislation. then we were told that the extreme mag or republicans could not address the national security needs of the american people until a spending bill was completed. democrats provided the support necessary to make sure that we funded the government in the manner that was compassionate and comprehensive and met the needs of the american people. and then we went on to another excuse from the extreme mag republicans. third, we were told that

running around is house democrats potentially, if the math works out, have the power to install hakeem jeffriesr of the house. i asked them about this today and they said if they have the ability to do it, they very well may. >> look, i think i feel very confident speaking for the democratic caucus that we want hakeem jeffries to be speaker. whether that happens in this calendar year or in january, that's the focus. mathematically, it is possible. lisa: this is some high-level game theory in a way. i don't know if you know the prisoners dilemma. there is a reality show called "the prisoners." who do you trust? it is not clear right now. the difference with this high level of game theory is the stakes are impossibly high for this country, for ukraine, and for republicans. geoff: let'talk about this unprecedented impeachment trial of dhs secretary may arcus. what was sing of account and what was political theater? lisa: there was a great deal of showmanship today. this is part of pomp and circumstances as part of how impeachment works. this is the first impeachment of a sitting cabinet secretary

and in my mind, it should be that if essentially hakeem jeffries will function as the shadows speaker, then we move the big bills where there is bipartisan agreement but we do not bring to the floor the things that republicans are trying to use to win the election in november. we should not allow that to happen. if they need our votes for these consequential bills, then we need some sort of an agreement about what we are getting for that. this is an unprecedented situation. under the republicans, michael, seven rules have failed. i think it was four other under mccarthy and three under johnson. seven rules have failed. and if you look at even last night, many of us were in deep confusion. we never vote for republican rules. there have been instances where the leadership decides that if you democrats are needed to get a rule across the line under this chaos on the republican majority. but this was a situation where i think it was very confusing. we did want the aid package to move forward and progressives in particular had fought to separate them so that we can vote our conscience and

that same lawmaker warned that centrist republicans may vote for democratic leader hakeem jeffries in case of a johnson ouster. the speaker acknowledged this reality during an interview he gave yesterday. >> do you believe that if there's some sort of motion to vacate and she goes forward with this there may be some republicans that jump and go and hukeep jeffries is all of a sudden the speaker. >> if the chair is vacated it's certainly possible you get a democratic speaker because we have demonstrated i think 13 total members ran for speaker before i was elected, and there's -- it'd be very difficult for anyone to get the votes at this stage, which means that position would be open for a dangerous probably potentially long amount of time. >> and speaker johnson was dealt yet another blow yesterday after right-wing conservatives revolted against his leadership and defeated a key procedural vote on fisa, the controversial surveillance law that national security officials call crucial to gathering intelligence and fighting terrorism. 19 republicans broke ranks and voted with democrats a
