lyndon johnson johnson would also be pleased that we're having this discussion. he wanted the lbj library to be a place where his legacy was explored openly and candidly or as he said with the bark off, as he said shortly before he left, as to how successful we've been in doing the greatest good for the greatest number, the themselves and their posterity must ultimately decide we have some important people weighing in on that question tonight. we'll all for two panel discussions. our first will explore president johnson's place in the broad political currents of the 20/20 and 21st centuries. and our second will examine his achievements in area of civil rights, race and immigration. before i bring on mark lawrence to introduce our first panel, i want to acknowledge several people in our audience. first, the children of middleton, debbie bowlin, jenny odell and jim middleton and. and second, several of the contributors of lbj's america who spoke on campus earlier today at a discussion on lbj's foreign policy legacy hosted by the clements center for, national securi

he urged house speaker mike johnson to pass it through the lower chamber. the final vote on in the senate was 70-29. leader schumer's remarks were about 15 minutes. >> hello, everybody. good morning. to you. how many got more than three hours sleep? raise your hands. thank you all who had tuesday out. alright, so, good morning everybody, and thank you for joining us after a long night. today, after not just a long night and weekend, but after months of work and weekends, we can say it has been worth it. today we witnessed one of the most historic and consequential bills passed the senate. so greatly impacts not just on national security, not just the security of our allies, but also the security of western democracy as we know it. tonight, finally, america led the way for freedom and democracy and with this bill, the senate declares that american leadership will not waiver, faulter or fail. today the senate keeps its word to ukrainians in need, desperate need of supplies and ammunition, to innocent palestinians civilians in need, so much need of relief, to

he called on house speaker johnson to bring it up in the house. this is about 15 minutes. for i ukraine, and taiwan. this is live coverage on c-span2. >> how many got more than three hours' sleep. raise your hand. well, thank you all who had to stay up. all right. so good morning, everybody and thank you for joining us after a long night. today, after not just a long night and weekend, but after months of work we can say it's been worth it. today we witnessed one of the most historic and consequential bills pass the senate, a bill so greatly impacts not just on national security, not just the security of our allies, but also the security of western democracy as we know it. tonight, finally, america led the way for freedom and democracy and with this bill, the senate declares that american leadership will not waiver, faulter or fail. today the senate keeps its word to ukrainians in need, desperate need of supplies and ammunition, to innocent palestinians civilians in need, so much need of relief, to israelis in need of support and to u.s. service members on patrol in the in

the responsibility now falls on speaker johnson and house republicans to approve this bill swiftly. and i call on speaker johnson to rise to the occasion, to do the right thing, bring this bill to the floor. as i said, given the large, robust majority here in the senate, it is clear that if that bill is brought to the floor, our bill is brought to the floor, it will pass. but if the hard right kills this bill, it would be an enormous gift to vladimir putin. it would be a betrayal of our partners and allies and abandonment of our service members and as i said, i believe if this bill is brought to the house floor, it will pass with strong, bipartisan support. there are large numbers of democrats and republicans in the house who know we have to stand up to our responsibilities and aid ukraine. i thank all of my colleagues in the senate who supported this bill. thank you to senators murray and murphy, sinema and lankford, collins, leader mcconnell as well and thank you to the senators and staff who worked through thanksgiving, christmas, new year's and even the super bowl to get this do

i want to say that boris johnson is just a shell of a man, because just imagine if you were johnson, with a ukrainian flag badge and the whole like: “i am for ukraine,” and then you stop and realize that all these children died because of you, essentially nothing has changed, there is no victory for ukraine. and this will not be a ukrainian victory, and like, how do you, how do you react to all this? i have done a lot of bad things in my life, and i am very sorry for that, but i did not prolong the war without any reason, and it seems to me that he has a rather serious sin. for me joe biden is not a real person, or if you want, he is not even a president for me, all this is ridiculous. biden is an old man he is literally decrepit, he cannot speak, he cannot walk, and the whole world knows about it. good evening, president biden, oh no, mr. president, president, mister president, everything's fine, yes, everything's great, thank you, thank you very much, oh no, mama mia again, president, mister president, welcome, good evening, how's your name is mr. president, my name is joe kennedy

mike johnson. we'll get back to this in a few moments but first, let's talk about america's fiscal path, edward lawrence is standing by at the white house. boy this is, you know money can't buy you love, as i said last night, what you got? reporter: president believes that money can buy the things that help the challenges that here at white house, from helping economy to the border to helping ally overseas. but the congressional budget office director issued a stark warning today. >> i can tell you, i am very confident this fiscal trajectory is unsustainable. under current law, that you know, that is one of the key messages of our budget projections. reporter: talking about interest payments to debt larger than all of the federal spending on children, also more than government spends on medicaid by 2026, committee for responsible federal damage said intere interest payment don' will top a trillion a year. >> we're at economic and fiscal tipping point. you know every second we borrow another 90 thou

philip johnson called his group the gray shirts, and they met in philip johnson's apartment. philip johnson personally bankrolled fascist ipt leck chels in the united states in the lead up to world war ii. he put them on his personal payroll so they could continue their work. philip johnson wrote eugenics based essays about how the great white race was dying and needed to be rescued. philip johnson, very famous architect, was a world class american fascist. and in 1939, when german troops invaded poland and started world war ii, philip johnson was invited along to poland to covel the fun. he was invited by the german government. reporters and correspondents for major news organizations were covering the invasion and its aftermath, that was not unusual. but it was unusual philip johnson wasit invited today be there, too, because he wasn't really a journalist. he was an american pro-nazi, fascist activist and would-be architect issoon. but he was nevertheless invited along by the germans to cover their magnificent invasion. and he filed articles about it for the pro-fascist new

they didn't know johnson and asked the lawmakers if they knew johnson. many didn't either. a deal done. johnson and congressional leadership will be hosted at the white house tomorrow to talk about ukraine funding. what are the expectations that could come from the meeting? >> exactly. i had reporting a couple weeks ago that johnson was demanding a one-on-one meeting with the president. clearly, biden doesn't want that to be happen. he's been more favorably dealing with mcconnell in the senate. he needs to work with johnson and know him, though. biden hosting the four congressional leaders tomorrow. that's after the meeting that happened in january where he tried to convince johnson, where he had other congressional leaders, key leaders up on the hill, to try and hammer out a plan for the foreign aid package, funding ukraine, you've been talking about that, the whole show, funding israel. you still have republicans, though, demanding the policy changers to the border, even though johnson and the hard liners killed the senate bipartisan deal a couple weeks ago. tomorrow's me

, and said that johnson had a great sin in his soul and had blood on his hands.you need to urgently go to the hospital, as a person at whom the whole world is laughing, who can no longer even reason, a member of a separate plan to win.” but on italian tv in this regard. they're playing along, they probably showed the real biden, look, the one in the white house is a double, the real one, he came out and collapsed, it would be very funny if not prospect of nuclear armageddon, look. 24. yes, we were close to peace in ukraine a year and a half ago, but the biden administration sent boris johnson, who was then the prime minister of great britain, they sent him to stop this to tell zelensky, whom i personally feel sorry for because he is caught between these two forces that are greater than him, so, returning to johnson, they sent him to convince zelensky, no, to convince him that they do not need to negotiate with russia, but ultimately... biden is an old man, he's literally decrepit, he can't talk, he can't walk, and the whole world knows it, good evening, president

this is another headache for mike johnson. he doesn't want to have to react to everything donald trump says, but in this case, he has to. host: do you have time for one more call before you go? guest: of course. host: thanks for hanging on the line, democrat, go ahead. caller: thanks for taking my call today. it seems like the last motion to vacate last year was pretty chaotic and the house gop conference wasn't prepared for the amount of conflict that came from it. it seems like the threat is still looming. should we expect the a future possible motion to vacate as chaotic or is the house more prepared for this to be different than last time? guest: i don't think anybody is more prepared for it. that was the first time it had ever happened. it came out of nowhere and there is just -- how could you prepare for it? the only way they could prepare for it is mike johnson's allies are talking with a bunch of democrats and saying if you will help if you keep mike johnson in power, we will have some kind of power-sharing agreement a

johnson said, border, border, border. he also said the president has executive authority to take action, i urged him to do it. it seems like president biden is looking at some orders, but that begs the question of why wait on ukraine aid if you don't need legislation and want the president to take action on his own authority? we couldn't ask him that question because he didn't take question. >> you heard the final comment, tara. it's a catastrophe. the whole idea of the border is something the republicans think they can run on. polls bear them out. there's a new poll that suggests the vast majority of americans have serious concerns about the situation in the united states with immigration. can they afford to be seen as holding everything up? we're looking potentially at the barrel of a shutdown. >> when i worked on capitol hill i worked on immigration and border security issue for seven years. it wasn't solved then. it won't be solved tomorrow. the disingenuous nature of mike johnson saying this is about the border is ha

i just love what speaker johnson did today, happy valentine's today, speaker mike johnson.ouse gop leadership news conference, mr. johnson said he wants to show valentine's day love for the american people, by securing u.s. borders before ponying up another 100 billion in foreign aid to other countries. wow. we have a sound on that? all right. let's hear it. let's hear what he says. >> the american people are not feeling very loved right now. it's time for washington to start showing some love to americans. on valentine's day this is good day to point this out. listen to the american people and their needs and take action. larry: i just love that i feel more love now than before. if that weren't spectacular enough here is speaker johnson on the house bill itself coming right up. take a listen. >> to be clear here again this morning, the republican-led house will not be jammed or forced into passing a foreign aid bill that was opposed by most republican senators and does nothing to secure our own border. larry: all right. this is spot on. i just love this stuff. this is love

johnson because johnson showed up drunk on inauguration day and lincoln said, keep that man away from me. and they never basically each other again. but because of the assassination, andrew johnson becomes president. he was the one democrat left in the senate at the time because all the other democrats left of the confederacy. and what that means is congress was stacked against him. and it's not like democrats wanted to save him either. so almost from the minute he gets into office, there, this effort to try either tame him or get rid of him and ultimately he violates a provision of a law or i should say arguably violates the provision of a law that been passed over his veto and that was enough. that was like exhibit a and what johnson had done is he fired his secretary of state as secretary war edwin stanton house unanimously impeaches. johnson it goes to the senate and amazingly he falls one short one vote short of conviction and removal. so there are a lot of lessons we can draw from. one is we have one of the most unpopular presidents history and we couldn't even get him convicted

hutchison: and johnson was already dead. everything johnson had done in the senate because they've been serving together all those years. i'm so glad we can talk about that here because that history wasn't really known. i want to talk about one other thing in history that you and i did. that was when we were working on the end of the shuttle systems and we were at the end but there was what was called an alternate in case we lost one that was still available. and a doctor came to us and the committee and said i have to have the alpha magnetic spectrometer. he was a nobel prize winner in physics. at m.i.t. he said this is the genesis of the study of dark matter that i want to make. we have to have the extra shuttle to take out the alpha magnetic spectrometer, which was a huge capturing of all of the dark matter pings out of the space station. bill and i -- you can tell this story as well -- said we will do this and we jointly went to nasa and said we have to have the extra shuttle. there was a lot of hesitance. no one really

duato at johnson & johnson. mr. duato, is it true that the list price of still era is the $9000 a year in the u.s.? >> it is roughly right but it's also the discount of the stelara is 70%. all of that, speeded with that with pbms and will get that i'm sure this morning. is it true that while charging 79,000 in the united states, that the exact same product is sold in spain for $18,000? >> i don't know the price in spain. i can tell you that the discount in the u.s. is 70%, so the price that you quote is 30% of that. >> okay. mr. duato, is it true that it costs less than $15 a year to manufacture stelara? >> the manufacturing cost is only a component that goes into our pricing. we price of medicines weirdly at the value of the medicine brings to the healthcare system. our ability to continue to invest in research. we invest $16 billion last year. also we look at affordability, the co-pay, if the use our assistance from the u.s. for patient using stelara is ten-$15 the speed i apologize to him over my tie. i will give

fight is what they want mike johnson to do. yeah. >> listen. chip roy has been sounding off on my johnson for months and monte is not happy. he is not happy with it's the fact that nothing has gotten done, that the right flank would like him to do. >> the >> problem is that the right flank is still a minority. mike johnson has a very, very slim majority there, even slimmer now with tom suozzi there. so all they can do at this point is fume add to that mix, sort of donald trump being the puppet master over everything and mike johnson obviously wanting to please donald trump. so it is a complicated stew and a ms for the country, this sort of inaction, this ability to come together, and there is a sort of naureen of a reality that they have to work with democrats. we all know how this is ultimately going to end. it's going to be some sort of bipartisan bill. the right is likely not going to win. again in chip roy is going to go on x and fumes more >> yeah. >> i'm pretty much sums it up and connect. okay? >> dave joyce, who tends to be a voice of r

philip johnson wrote admiring reviews of mein kampf.nson went to germany in 1932 to pretend attend a giant rally. he tried to start his own fascist political party in the united states, which he wanted to be an armed action that would become the single party in a one party fascist state. philip johnson tried to form a paramilitary group in addition to the fascist political party. it was modeled on hitler's -- he called his the gray shirts and they met in philip johnson's apartment. philip johnson personally bankrolled fascist intellectuals in the u.s. in the lead up to world war ii. he put them on his personal payroll and paid their living expenses so they could continue their work as fascist intellectuals. philip johnson wrote eugenics based essays about how the white race was dying and needed to be rescued. philip johnson a very famous american architect, he was a world-class american fascist. and in 1939 when german troops invaded poland and started world war ii, philip johnson was invited along to poland to cover the fun. he was inv

where is mr johnson now ? and the war johnson now? and the war continues .well we should say continues. well we should say that we relied upon the tucker carlson network for that translation. >> but mr putin there, the president of russia seemingly having boris at the forefront of his mind , blaming boris for his mind, blaming boris for that, continue food war. >> well , joining us now is the >> well, joining us now is the conservative mp for scarborough and whitby, sir robert goodwill . and whitby, sir robert goodwill. sir robert, thank you very much for joining us. you heard forjoining us. you just heard putin there in that very long interview with ex—fox host , uh, interview with ex—fox host, uh, fox news host, i must say, with tucker carlson, there , your tucker carlson, there, your reaction saying that boris johnson sabotaged a peace deal back in the spring of 2022? >> i mean , just complete nonsense. >> i mean, putin, you know, you can't believe a word he says. i think this is all about undermining the resolve of the western nations to continue to supp

[bright music] - sheila johnson, welcome to "firing line." - thank you so much.s is an honor. - you recently published your memoir. - yes. - "walk through fire: a memoir of love, loss, and triumph." the book starts with you as a 16-year-old girl coming home to the harsh reality that your father, who is a neurosurgeon, your mother, who is an accountant, decided to split up. it was your father's decision. and this, as you write, is a pivotal early moment in your life that shapes you. - absolutely. - [margaret] how? - i had to grow up real fast. i had to take charge of the family. my mother, she just had a complete mental breakdown. and it was a case where my father being one of eight african american neurosurgeons in the country, highly esteemed, my mother, i mean, they were at the top of the social ladder. you know, they were popular. and for him to just walk out was such a shock. and what people don't realize, that back then, women just did not have the ability to hold credit cards, their own bank account. he wouldn't pay child support. i mean, he really just lef

the question is for speaker johnson. what is he afraid of to put national security first, to help our country, to push back against putin, and make sure that our country is pro-- protected, what is his concern? give us a vote. house democrats will be focused on bipartisan solutions working in a way that will help deliver that piece of legislation. that's what we'll do. until we get it done. that's what we have heard loud and clear from our members. and that's what we plan to do. reporter: i agree with -- mr. lieu: i agree with what chairman aguilar said. speaker johnson said let the house work its will. the way the house works its will is to vote. we are asking for speaker johnson to let us vote. if there is a vote on the floor of the senate package, it would pass with overwhelming bipartisan support. unfortunately, speaker johnson seems to be captured by their marjorie taylor greene extreme faction of the party. the putin caucus. there is no other explanation for why he wouldn't let a vote happen on this bipartisan bill

and did johnson do about it once johnson became president on the 22nd of november? that. so my original thought was just to write on that small little slice. but then i came to realize that to tell the story of the withdrawal plan, i actually had to backtrack and tell story of kennedy in vietnam more, more comprehensively. so i spent a fair amount of time developing what i saw as kennedy's commit to vietnam. hence that that part of the title and then carrying carried the story past three into 64 into march of 1964, when the plan essentially falls apart under lbj. and then i tack on an epilog, which addresses the the story about that planning, the narrative about that planning at the time. late 1960s into the 1970s. but then very much so in the era of 911. and the way that conversation about kennedy vietnam became rolled into a conversation and the united states and its use of force abroad. so it became a much larger project and i would say that again, it is not really a comprehensive history of vietnam, although it covers much of the same ground. and it has to. but it is

i want to get briefly to johnson & johnson. mr.uato, is it true that the list price of solara is $79,000 a year in the u.s.? >> it's roughly right, but also true that the discount of-- 70%. >> we've dealt with pbm's, and i'm sure we get to it this morning. and is it true when charging $79,000 in the united states the exact product is sold in spain for $18,000? >> i don't know the price in spain. i can tell you that the discount in the u.s. is 70%, so the price that you quote is 30% of that. >> okay. mr. duato, is it true that it costs less than $15 a year to manufacture so solaro. >> the manufacturing price, we're looking at the value the medicine brings to the health care system and we continue to invest in research, $15 billion last year and also we look at affordability. the co-pay if they use our co-pay assistance programs in the u.s. for patients using is 10 to $15 per month. i apologize, i'm over my time and going to give senator cassidy the same time that i had. >> thank you all. mr. duato, in 2021, janzen constructed a cont

and this is also johnson's reality. if he puts a bill on the floor to send billions to ukraine, conservative hardliners already warning they will force a vote to oust him from a job he has held for just four months. and now there's this. some top republicans are calling on johnson to put a ukraine aid package on the floor keeping open the option of signing and to eat democratic led effort to force a vote in circumventing leadership known on capitol hill is a discharge petition >> my hope is that my republican leadership will make the right decision. but it on the floor for a vote. and when they do that, it will pass no pass by a wide majority. >> will you sign a disc charged petition, mr. mchenry >> i've not seen one presented. mine who i've not seen not ruling that out. john bresnahan what the halls talking to members of the time house republicans how does johnson play this? because he has indicated he is in no concern to move ahead. he is facing pressure on both sides. does he ignore it or ultimately, get jammed by th

architect, phillip johnson. lots of people who love phillip johnson as an architect. to each his case. it remains a skeleton in the closet. this guy phillip johnson probably the most famous and well known and prolific american modernist architect was also a raging fascist. phillip johnson wrote admiring reviews of mind comf. phillip johnson went to germany in 1932 to attend a giant hitler youth rally. phillip johnson tried to start his own fascist political party in the united states which he wanted it to be an armed fascist. phillip johnson tried to start a military group modeled on hitler's brown shirts. he called them the gray shirts and met in johnson's basement. he paid living expenses so they could continue their work as fascist intellectuals and writers. he wrote essays about how the white race was dying and needed to be rescued. phillip johnson very famous american architect was a world class american fascist. and in 1939 when german troops invaded poland. he was invited by the german government to poland. reporters were covering the invasion and the aftermath

could johnson be heading for the same fate as kevin mccarthy? >> maybe. completely ungovernable caucus. these are not serious. people they demonstrated this repeatedly. i am not surprised at that. plus, what do you expect? they elevated a guy who has relatively no experience in republican leadership. he did not work his way through the ranks traditionally to understand how to work the speaker of the house position. and, so what do they expect? he is learning on the job. you get what you pay for. i want to answer your question about why he doesn't condemn those comments or in these groups. it's because he believes it, amen. he is in line with them. he is aligned, ideologically, with them. with people who are passing themselves off like david barton as historians and have no degree. he's not a historian. he doesn't have a degree in that we're in law. he has a degree from oral roberts in christian education. these people are grifters. they recognize there are a lot of people out here who are susceptible, there are low information voters. they manipulate that

this time, it's really a lot of people blaming house speaker mike johnson with them deadline day fast approaching here, joining us now we have cnn's lauren fox on capitol hill. we have cnn's mj lee at the white house. mj first to you, any word on whether president biden's oval office meeting could move the needle here? >> well, brianna, i thought we just got a remarkable readout from senator schumer on how this meeting went first and foremost in terms of these leaders in the room all turning to speaker johnson to emphasize what is at stake in terms of getting ukraine funding senator schumer described this as one of the most intense meetings he has ever encountered in the oval office. he's obviously been a part of many of them over the years. he's said that basically president biden, the vice president, mcconnell, jeffrey schumer himself, that they all almost it sounds like took turns going around to share their views on why it was so critical to get something done on ukraine aid. he said that we all said to this speech get it done, that without additional us funding, ukraine could act

however, johnson later decided to decline the interview.nglish voters to be a liar, and not just a liar, and , in my opinion, all the big ones came out there. that is , this is such a classic version of a liar, well, the stupidity of western politicians, of course, may seem funny, but this does not make it any less dangerous, i don’t understand it, the american and european elites are creating threats of an unprecedented scale, their own egoism and unjustified self -confidence do not give washington satellites the opportunity to look at the situation objectively, and the objective reality is as follows: russia will not give up its interests, and as for the suffering of stability, we have never refused dialogue here, but of course pretend that the united states and the entire west, on the one hand, are calling for the strategic defeat of russia, on the other hand, they intend to supposedly want to negotiate with us on stability, believing that one question has nothing to do with... but this cannot be done, if they seek to inflict a strategic

launching black entertainment television with her then-husband bob johnson.y became known as the king and queen of black media. but johnson writes about what she describes as emotional abuse and infidelity. - i fought through it until i just couldn't take it anymore. - their divorce after three decades of marriage, along with the sale of bet, helped launch her new chapter in luxury hotels and professional sports. as johnson tells her story of triumph, she also has a warning. - respect for one another has got to come back. and this polarization through rhetoric is really becoming a problem. - [margaret] what does entrepreneur and philanthropist sheila johnson say now? - [announcer] "firing line with margaret hoover" is made possible in part by: robert granieri, vanessa d henry cornell, the fairweather foundation, the tepper foundation, peter and mary kalikow, the asness family foundation, the beth and ravenel curry foundation, the mckenna family foundation, charles r. schwab, and by the pritzker military foundation on behalf of the pritzker military museum and

and johnson. mr. gerardo has served as johnson & johnson's chairman since 2023 and chief executive officer since 2022. thank you for being with us. >> thank you for the opportunity to bee here today. advanced healthcare solutions for patients. nursing and healthcare work first. mental health and pathways for cell and gene therapies. i applaud this commitment to bigger priorities. i've been there for 35 years. and in the u.s. i understand the global challenges in healthcare innovation and delivery. i look forward to discussing pricing in the work we do for allft americans. fundamentally, guided by the things set. reflecting out to the average decline for the sixth year in a row ends tomorrow. over the six years, prices have declined by almost 20%. the real is more than 40%. second, we price our medicines to support. we paid $39 billion in rebate discounts and fees, almost 60% of the prices of our drugs. we intend that patients benefit from the substantial cost savings. we support access by funding

a man named philip johnson. and poor houston.t american city, one of my favorite cities in the country, but he stun has a lot of philip johnston buildings around. we more than their quota, i think, way more than houston deserved. they're kind of the iconic buildings of the houston skyline, and there is solace office parks. this is a matter of taste. don't get me wrong. they're definitely lots of people who love philip johnson as an architect. people like vodka martinis, to. to each his own. no accounting for taste. but it does remain one of the mains gallatin's not quite in the closet of american architecture that this guy, philip johnson, probably the most famous and well-known and prolific american modernist architect, philip johnston, was also a raging fascist. philip johnson wrote admiring reviews of mein kampf. philip johnson went to germany in 19 -- hitler youth rally. filip johnson's tried to start his own fascist political party in the united states which he wanted to be an armed faction that would become the single party

johnson never told you, for example, that something is wrong in your country, just in this one. momentaybe before the invasion, maybe after the invasion, it’s like that, you know, that’s the fate of the ambassador, listening to the majority about what ’s happening at home is not right, and here there is a fork, you either tell and annoy those people who are sitting at home and they have already heard 100 times that you have corruption there, you have something else there, and they are tired of hearing it, they know it all, and you explain it to them one more time, or you try to be kind and a useful ambassador, sitting to yourself and quietly accept, nod your head. and you don't tear people down, judging by everything, we will talk about it further, you have not been such an ambassador, but continue what you said, and in principle, definitely said and said, and the only thing that distinguishes great britain from many other countries is that they do not associate our you have problems that they understand that this is for a young democracy, unfortunately, it is normal, you have to fight

could johnson be heading for the same fate as kevin mccarthy? >> maybe.s is a completely ungovernable caucus. these are not serious people. and they demonstrated this repeatedly. i am not surprised at that. and, plus what do you expect? the elevated a guy who has relatively no experiencing in leading republican leadership. he did not work is way up, really, through the ranks traditionally to understand how to work the speaker of the house position. and, so, what do they expect? he is learning on the job. so, you get what you pay for. i just want to answer your question about why he doesn't condemn those comments or these groups because he believes it a minute. he is on the line with them. he is unlined ideologically with them. with people who are passing themselves off as david martin, as historian who have no degree. he's not a historian, he doesn't have a degree in that or in law. he has a degree from oral robertson, in christian education. but these people are drifters, they recognize that there are a lot of people here who are susceptible. there's no

mike johnson to america, go to to hell. mike johnson to america, drop dead. mike johnson to israel, drop dead. mike johnson to ukraine, drop dead. another year. another year of fentanyl streaming across the border. another year of illegal immigrants streaming across the border. all because donald trump told mike johnson, the same donald trump who said he wanted a depression, he wanted americans' retirements destroyed, wanted their economy destroyed so he could get re-elected, donald trump is now telling mike johnson, "i want the border open for another year." what does that mean? this is not msnbc primetime. this is not "the new york times" editorial page. this is the voice of the conservative movement. this is what "the wall street journal" editorial page is saying. "the chaos will continue for at least another year." because of you, mike johnson. because of you, donald trump. the fentanyl will flood across the border for another year because of you. because james langford has put together the most restrictive border security bill ever, ever. "the chaos will

johnson: thank you. chair blumenthal: as the ranking member knows, we have a process, beginning with outreach, which we have done. it does not produce the satisfactory response, we will proceed with that process. sen. johnson: i have been after this for a couple of years. do tend to get impatient. i appreciate you working with me on that. chair blumenthal: let me ask just a few more questions, with your indulgence. this testimony has been extremely valuable. i should make clear, this investigation is going to be pursued by this committee based on what you have told us today and other information you may be able to provide us in the future. but i want to ask some questions about the broader national security implications of export controls. we focused today on american microchips that are making it to russia, but compliance with export control restrictions has larger implications all around the world, as i mentioned earlier. i understand your work has traced american semi conductors in iranian and north k

house speaker mike johnson with a narrow majority. it's like 50% narrower depending on how you count it today. now the tom suozzi won out in long island. he dismissed it as either insignificant or representative of democratic weakness. how accurate? >> well, look, i mean, this was a district where if you look at suburban districts really north of the mason-dixon line, where are the terrain is probably it's difficult for democrats anywhere because their best issue, abortion probably isn't as salient given the democratic control over the state party as state government, people aren't just concerned about that. and on the other hand, you have the concentration of the migrant and crime issue in new york city that is broadcast intensely by the new york city media. and yet democrats won again, and they one in a way that was very reminiscent of what we saw in 2022 and the elections of 2023, where tom suozzi self said that joe biden was underwater in the district, and yet, as we saw in those earlier elections, a substantial slice of voters wh

kurt, how much worse can i get for speaker johnson? question? i don't even think there's a right answer for that. >> try. >> every time that we think that it can't get worse for house republicans, and whoever is in that speaker's chair, they show us that it can get worse, then it can get more embarrassing or humiliating. i think that there is no scenario in which speaker johnson is still the speaker of the house by the end of this year. that's no different than what kevin mccarthy went through, it's no different than why paul ryan went. left it's no different than why john boehner left. this is in ungovernable conference. the republicans as their currently constituted have no interest in governing. have no interest in fulfilling the basic responsibilities of being a member of congress, which is to extend chilly bumped the government and keep the government running. they do want to do that. so anyone who's in that position who does anything that would resemble responsible governing gets run out of town. >> okay, david, johnson is of cou
