and johnson. nixon came to realize they needed each other in 1968, as much of america watched the chaos that year unfold on their televisions. the surprise tet offensive attack in vietnam against. our our forces at a time when americans were told the war was going better. how could this simultaneous coordinated attack be possible? the north korean seizure of the uss pueblo crew held captive and being negotiated for another year. you had eugene mccarthy's senator from minnesota. stunning entry into the race to challenge lyndon johnson. the first occurred to challenge johnson almost winning the new hampshire primary against lbj and then shortly after that, the entry of senator kennedy, the second major challenger from within johnson's own party. so that's a difference. six there are a lot of similarities with 68 that that would be a difference for today terms of, you know, one that sort of the senator level, a prominent challenger, you know, other than dean phillips and some lesser candidates have r

johnson the gop had a real consso what's wrong with mr. johnson now? apparently, because he's not willing to indulge, because he acts like shutting down the government, mr. johnson is a sellout too. marjorie taylor greene republican of georgiathe sunday morning futures to explain her reason for filing a motion to vacate against speaker mike johnson, saying he failed to secure the border. here is what she had to say. >> there's nothing in this bill that's a core -- secures the border. -- that secures the border. it does everything to keep the biden administrations horrible deadly invasion happening every civil day.speaker johnson's one chance, his one chance to truly secure the border is with the power of the purse and that's in these funding bills. if speaker johnson really wanted to secure the border like he promised all of us he would and the american people, he would have told chuck schumer, we will not pass any government funding bills until our border has hr to or the lake and riley -- hr two or the lake and riley -- laken riley act in it. he let

if mike johnson tries to kill this. now mike johnson did not have any reaction when melanie zanona just asked him in the hallways about this, he waved to her question off. so how will the leadership deal with this? but a real threat to his speakership right now, can you hang on to his speakership? it's chaotic republican majority, once again, descent into internal warfare over funding. the government, which is still moving through, still expected to pass, but can mike johnson? hang onto his job? that is a major question that is critical hour. >> monitor that i mean, that raises the question of the cart before the horse and the chicken and egg. i mean, it sends the voting has begun on the spending deal presumably that can still pass, right? even though there's this motion to vacate or does that end up being an obstacle in all of this >> no, you get absolutely can pass in is going to expect it. it's on track to pass, right now. and then once you finish says series than then the house is going to wrap up action and there'l

this is a democrat budget and passed by mike johnson. reporter: should johnson step down? ms.ene: thatould be a choice he'd have to make but we have to find a new speaker.e spe after another has fallen short. how can you possibly find anyone or see someone to succeed mike johnson to find the votes and keep the conference together and not plunge congress into chaos? ms. greene: we have to do it because we have a country in crisis. border invasion happening every single day. we have americans under the age of 30 for the first time showing in all types of polling have lost generations can't afford to buy a home. inflation is running rampant. our country is in crisis. and we need real leaders that know how to fight, that know how to walk in a room and don't get rolled by the deep state and bye democrats and don't get rolled into doing whatever it takes to maintain that power and position. we need a speaker of the house that actually represents the people. this is the people's house. this is not washington, d.c.'s house. this is the people's house.■n reporter: you call the pink sli

and speaker johnson facing the wrath of his conference. >> and so any chance that speaker johnson could actually call marjorie taylor greene's bluff and bring the motion to the floor for a vote? >> i doubt he would take that risk at least not at this point. you know, margins right now are so small between republicans and democrats. it wouldn't take that much to topple him from office. and if marjorie taylor greene oig can convince two of three of her colleagues, she could do that. he would prefer not to deal with it at all.colleagues, she could. he would prefer not to deal with it at all. and just see what happens. >> and this is a caucus that has already struggled to get things done amongst and amidst the drama we've seen going on in the republican caucus. how much more likely is this to further paralyze that caucus? >> how much more can it be paralyzed? the implication here is not that speaker johnson will see his gavel taken away, if she wanted to, she would have filed privilege. she didn't. it is a threat. i think downstream the real question mark is what does johnson do, what does

democrats needing to bail out johnson again and again.g, this is a coalition that johnson that has helped create. he is bringing bills to the floor, avoiding his own people under a tactic that requires him to get two-thirds of the entire house. he, of course, has barely half of the house. anytime he wants to do anything big, he is, in essence, saying, "democrats, come join me. i'm going to get around the far right of my conference and we are going to bowl straight down the middle," which is exactly what chuck schumer has been saying he should do. >> we mentioned earlier in the show about this effort by marjorie taylor greene and others, potentially, to push johnson out. what's your read in terms of sources? congress about to go away on a two-week recess. how real is this? is this simply the far right sending a warning shot, or do we think there could be a real effort to push him out? >> before we get to whether or not he is going to be pushed out, what you need to think about is the year 2015. john boehner was ousted almost in this exact

i want to get briefly to johnson & johnson. mr. duato, 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 co

this is a democrat budget and it was passed by mike johnson. >> johnson sent down johnson has stepped down. >> that'd be a choice that he would have to make, but we're going to have to find a new speaker >> you saw what happened in the fall. we saw one, we saw one, we saw one speaker candidate after another, fall short of getting the votes necessary. you how could you possibly even find someone to succeed? seed mike johnson who could get the votes, keep this conference together, and not planters chambers to chaos. >> we're going to have to do it because the country is in crisis. we have a border invasion that's happening every single day. we have americans under the age of 30 for the first time it's showing in all types of polling have lost hope for their future the younger generations can't afford to buy a home inflation is running rampant. our country is in crisis and we need real liters that know how to fight, that know how to walk in a room and don't get rolled by the deep state and don't get rolled by the democrats and don't get rolled into doing whatever it takes to maintain tha

i want to share what he said earlier about mike johnson. >> would you vote to help protect speaker johnson in his speakership? >> yes, i would this is a comedy routine, what they are doing, the idea of trying to kick the speaker out for keeping the government open. absurd. i'm fed up with it, and i will vote to keep him as speaker. >> john, there you have it, the guy from long island calling it a clown show. would other democrats join trying to enjoy -- join suozzi? >> a funny thing happened on the way to congress. tragedy tonight, comedy tomorrow. i think there are a handful of democrats that would vote to not have the chaos, but to be honest, they are trying to win a house majority, so it's only the few that believe that would help them in their general election in november, but most of the democrats, we've already seen what they would do. they, basically, allowed kevin mccarthy to get jacked by his own caucus, and i don't think they see any reason to bailout this majority. >> i guess it shouldn't be a surprise, but kevin mccarthy, tonight, weighed in on what's happening with mike johnso

i want to share what he said about mike johnson. >> would you vote to protect speaker johnson? >> yes i would. >> this is a comedy routine what they are doing. trying to kick the speaker out for trying to keep the government open. absurd. i'm fed up with it. >> the guy from long island calling it a clown show. would other democrats join him to protect johnson just to keep a general sense of order? >> yeah. funny thing happened on the way to congress. tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight. i think there are probably a handful of democrats that would vote to not have the chaos. but, to be honest, i mean they are trying to win a house majority. for most of the democrats we have already seen what they would do. they basically allowed kevin mccarthy to get jacked by his own caucus. and i don't think they see any reason to bail out this majority as they are going to campaign against them. >> kevin mccarthy weighed in on what is happening with mike johnson, comparing it to of course his own removal last year. watch this. >> what is happening in congress today goes back to when those eight

johnson? mr.y the key tenant of extender producer responsibility regulation and key responsibility the producer organization is to help create those end of life markets.■ if you look at the british columbia example, today over 99o an end market and that's been improved ovetime.ain, i think es an important tenant as well, in creang a pollution hierarchy and you create an incentive system to move products from going into landfillgy up to higher value, more circular markets. and to me that's a very helpful and important principle in extended producer responsibility regulation. sen. carper: let me follow up with that. how important are viable end markets for a company like yours that's trying to use more recycled content in your packaging materials? mr. johnson: i'm sorry, can you repeat the question? sen. carper: how important are viable end markets for a company like yours that's trying to use more recycled content in packaging materials? mr. johnson: it's extremely important and what regulation doe

johnson, but somehow i am lost, because as if it was the trumpists who took the initiative, and if i wasn't, i'm confused here, i am, i would understand if such anti-trumpist republicans said, let's eliminate him and finally vote for ukrainian weapons and ukrainian money, which one? it happens there, how much is it, well, can you understand? well, anti-trumpists are republican , well, of course they are, but if they are among the members of the house of representatives, then they sit so quietly, they don’t say anything, or as one of these anti-trumpists, a congressman, already former buck, did just two days ago. he simply left the house of representatives. he simply resigned, well, in principle , as a sign of protest against what his party is doing today, and why did the far-right put forward such a proposal, well , everyone knows marjorie taylor about the removal of speaker johnson, because he passed the budget, finally, look, march is ending, finally the united states will have a budget on the 24th. a year after several temporary budgets, and the fact is that it is absolutely impos

largely president trump and speaker mike johnson have had a great relationship and speaker mike johnson out a tweet congratulating him on securing the nomination. seems like a big voice you would want to get input from since he's the head of the party at the moment. >> we are seeing yet another tantrum by a tiny fraction of that conference that is disrupting the entire machine that we just exhaustively waited for it to get back on track. here we are again watching someone steal the time and the audio and the limelight and the attention and she says we should have our attention on the illegal streaming across the border but our attention was on you. i am sick and tired of it as a republican and an american citizen. i want them to get to work. who is better than him? what is the plan? i don't want them to take two days off to vote for that and figure everything out and look incompetent during a presidential election year. this is the last thing i want to be subjected with and at a minimum it is disappointing. >> there's a great irony here. as i listen to her and i hear her say that there'

johnson? >> -- because otherwise it would sound like i somehow had gotten to see your opening remarks in advance. i appear here today in my capacity as chair of the committee for patent reform, which is a diverse coalition of american manufacturers who rely on is to protect our inventions, develop and manufacture products but to protect them by those patents, licensed patents to them from others in furtherance of their business objectives and when necessary assert their patents against infringements and/or defend against patents asserted against them. numbers of 21 c are therefore on both sides of these controversies. they are stuck in the middle. what they want to know is what is going to happen, what is predictable, and what is fair? they want fairness and predictability of all else, because to run their businesses, they need to know how to make important investments which make take take decade or more to come to fruition. as many others have state, patent eligibility in this country is a mi

that is something speaker johnson can consider as well.hat serves at the pleasure of the democrats which is not a good thing in the republican conference. >> okay donna, if you were in congress today and you were in this situation, would you vote to save speaker johnson if a motion to vacate is filed? >> it would have to be a really good deal to be honest. i think democrats cannot just offer to bailout johnson in the hope that he will do something that benefits the american people or syrups the interest of the people of ukraine, israel and taiwan. johnson has a ever shrinking majority, almost every single week he serves. so he has to cut a deal with democrats. even on the spending bill, he lost 112 republicans and that will happen on every single piece of nature legislation put forward because he has a solid core and now a majority in his party who will not pass anything that results in democratic votes. he is between a rock and a hard place but democrats should not give him a easy out. >> keep in mind when gallagher leaves in april, speak

johnson: mr.eaker i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized mr. johnson: fir i wan bill's sponsor ms. chavez-deremer for her leership on the focus act. the gentlewoman is a remarkable member of congress. she is hard working she]1 is diligent and smart as a whip and h.r. 6260 is one of the many examples of her leadership that she has blessed the 118th. the focus act increases transparency and oversight. it does that by number of measures that increase the information that the general services administration provides to congress. that's going better opportunity for strength and oversight on federal space and public building projects. more specifically, this bil congress is notified if the costs for authorized g.s.a. projects change by more than 5%. we have seen outside government how much cost overruns have been happening in the broader economy and what kind and confusion they impose. this would give us better data and requires.a the new project

was it johnson, baker, who benefited the most? was johnson.t johnson set up booth kill abe and staged a failed assassination on himself. you sound like mary lincoln. don't discount johnson. everybody's thinking it was their suspicion on new president johnson was everybody thinking it? there was much suspicion. first of all, there was an assumption that the confederacy had ordered the assassin of lincoln and the other high officials, the us government. look, lcos theater. secretary of state seward rose and stabbed to death in his own bed. his household was almost wiped out by this maniace belief that this was a last minute attempt by the confederacy to overturn the verdict of the battlefield in the civil war. so stanton and other high officials are right to believe this was a confederate plot. how could it not be that the leader of the union army, the commander in chief, abraham lincoln, is shot? the climax of the civil war and then the secretary of state is almost murdered. they assassinate andrew johnson. george. that'sright. was supposed to

i didn't know it'd be mike johnson.ause, again, i think democrats probably wouldn't take out kevin mccarthy in the same way they did mike johnson, if the reason he's removed is for bringing up a bill they want him to bring up anyway. they'll get something out of it this time. i think their bid will fail, but it'll be chaos again. >> briefly, speak to how constrained and weak johnson is with the threat over his shoulder, but not just with the republicans leaving but quitting the house, it'll be down to a single vote. >> none of us have seen a house majority this thin before, and it handcuffs the speaker. one thing the house usually has for it is it can move quickly, can maneuver, be agile. when you have a one-vote majority, you can't do much of anything. you need the minority to pass anything you want. that's been the case really all congress. so whether it is ukraine or anything that happens for the rest of the time, hakeem jeffries is incredibly powerful. it's really hard for johnson to walk into a house republican con

yes, i do think i aaron taylor-johnson would fit the aaron taylor—johnson would fit the role.are ready for it and after 16 years and daniel craig stepping off, there's been quite a few speculations of the different names darting about, and we know that it might not always be the biggest name forward that's casted stop what is daniel craig and easy act to he was one of the best bonds, wasn't he? . , he was one of the best bonds, wasn't he? ., , ., , he was one of the best bonds, wasn't he? . , ., , ., he was one of the best bonds, wasn't he? ., , ., , ., ., �* he? that is all up to her don't opinion. _ he? that is all up to her don't opinion. who _ he? that is all up to her don't opinion, who knows? - he? that is all up to her don't opinion, who knows? how- he? that is all up to her don'tj opinion, who knows? how are he? that is all up to her don't - opinion, who knows? how are they auoin to opinion, who knows? how are they going to revive _ opinion, who knows? how are they going to revive bond? _ opinion, who knows? how are they going to revive bond? because - opinion, who kno

speaker johnson didn't ask for this job. for kevin mccarthy. is he trying to manage unmanageable conference. republicans need to understand that they control one half of one branch of government and now they are going to control it by one vote. you can't impose your will on the entire government when you have one half of one branch of government with one vote, if you want -- i want to cut spending, too. i want to do all these things. if you want to do that there is a simple way to do it win elections. don't nominate lunatics. get people actually win a general election not just the republican primary. take back the senate and the white house. that's how biden got the spending through. if we want to cut the spending that's how you get to do it. you can't could do it by having internal chaos. >> if you look at what speaker johnson inherited what he inherited from speaker mccarthy and house democrats controlling the senate, democrats controlling the white house, could he have done a better job in these negotiations? >> yeah. par

johnson: what we're doing is unprecedented.ge of a speaker mid course in the history of congress and we did it at a time when we have the smallest majority in u.s. history. 65 ath congress in 1917 during world war i before women had the right to vote when by next week we'll be 1.16%. that's the math. so one vote. and yet we have to govern and we have to demonstrate wca keep this thing together and keep the train on the tracks and we are. and by getting appropriation bills done and by moving key pieces of le keeping the team together, we've demonstrated that. how do we stay focused and do that? to me it boils down tog and holding fast to our foundational principles. there's a move afoot to change the foundational principles of america, made us the great extraordinary, most successful and benevolent nation and most free history in the world. and before, i call it the seven core principles of american conservative sis him but it's the seven core, the rule of law, peace through strength, fiscal responsibility, free markets, human d

that is something that speaker johnson could consider as well. is the fact that johnson would be a speaker who serves at the pleasure of the democrats. that is not a good thing in the republican conference. >> donna edwards, former democratic congresswoman from maryland, if you were in congress today and you are in this situation would you vote to save speaker johnson if a motion to vacate and ntg policy with a motion to vacate? >> it would have to be a really good deal to be quite honest. i think democrats cannot just offer to bail out johnson in the hope he will do something that benefits the american people or serves the interests of the people of ukraine, israel and taiwan. johnson has an ever-shrinking majority almost every single week he serves. he has to cut a deal with democrats. he has no choice about that. even on the spending bill, he lost 112 republicans. that will happen on every single piece of major legislation that is put forward because he has a solid core and now a majority in his party, who are not going to pass anything that r

johnson: prof. johnson: so seems part of it is about attaching requirements to funding programs.e gathering data so that we are actually monitoring. it sounded like you may be also were alluding to the ideapartneg partnerships that help with things like training. before asking a different of the secretary, i wanted to ask more about the childcare piece given there are programs like chips that are now requiring that. is there for states and localities in that? what does that look like to you? absolutely. and i will keep saying a lot of smart things at once so i have to keep them up. prof. johnson: the multi question with three parts is a hazaf ms. abrams: we are all afd lawy we have this. requirements are part of every dollar that comes from the public space. there is not a single donor that gets given without there being a requirement. but we only have a question about the donor when it seems to affect something other t expect. so when she said she was looking at childcare, ■k wbut we put ren public dollars every single day, we wouldn't have a congress if we didn't put requiremen

his job was speaker johnson justice is acgood point because when he came in as johnson did he was caricatured as a right-wing extremist, et cetera, et cetera. he is governing in a much more pragmatic way when it comes to these months, past issues, which is why he's has this problems on the right. so the election >> year thing hangs over all >> this, knows he can't shut down the government obviously, that's bad politically, and he's trying to get a a bigger majority for next year, right? >> exactly that brings us to the next question. how does this impact what happens next year? there's of course, is happening in the middle of an election. you will they go through three weeks without a speaker of the house, right? is they're trying to keep the majority take back the white house, take back the senate. that is the question. well, how much will this hurt them? that's what republicans are saying? >> you're trying to keep the house. i mean, this can't be the fight. you want. >> you're going to grow as house majority despite things that go on on this house floor from day-to-day, these games, not wor

but for his johnson came out on her stoop waiting for a food delivery. five of her relatives, all younger around her, including her six year-old niece now, at around 930, johnson says to menn came up from fern and street right to the corner here of south 18th >> if department >> what's russia when we return all of a sudden let's reese identifies cj >> rice one ever followed up on those leads? no one interviewed those witnesses. >> how can you defend me in the case? >> you have no knowledge >> of the crime scene >> ways there makes it so easy to create a home. you'll love to talk to the neighborhood i just wave fare. >> that's why they're seven saving money >> wayfair, your whole bathroom in the vanity >> fair, i waste oh, i know. >> this is nice >> another way to just two days >> we fair word is out wave. there. you could just what i need. >> i've always wanted to do that >> new glasses i >> can i'm just telling everyone so your tax refund go further with buy one, get one free at vision works. see the difference >> when you have moderate to severe eczema

but ultimately you have a problem for mike johnson. he is already being questioned by marjorie taylor greene so early in this one-person motion to vacate. and he is really at this point, only surviving because of the goodwill of democrats. whether that continues is anybody's question. >> rosa delauro is the name you are searching for. it is early in the morning. i want to go back to the supplemental aid package. johnson says it is a priority and he is not given a sense of how he plans to put it together. the earliest timeline you are looking at now in a best case scenario is mid-april. we were told weeks ago that the united states has until they were doing and briefing and ukraine was rationing omissions and they simply did not have the resources they needed in order to win the war. you kick the can down the road for us to april or may be may and republicans might be putting us in a situation that there is no coming back from. >> that is exactly right. the message you are hearing from the white house and from frankly many republicans i

government shutdown overnight but this could be the start of even bigger problems for speaker mike johnson and his republican majority. >>> the former rudy giuliani associate that blew a russia sized hole into the republican impeachment dreams but we will talk to lev parnas about his testimony on capitol hill. >> and michael cohen is with us as his former boss tries to scrape together $354 million all before monday. we have a lot to talk about. welcome to "the weekend." >>> congress managed to avoid a shutdown at about 2:00 a.m. eastern time passing a bill that funds the government through the end of september. republicans left for a two week recess without delivering crucial aid to ukraine in israel, as well as taiwan. overnight, russian authorities detained 11 people following a terror attack at a concert venue outside moscow. the russian government says at least 115 people are dead after several gunmen opened fire on the crowd. there were fears moscow would blame ukraine for the attack but the group isis claimed responsibility in a post on telegram. nbc news has not verified the claim a

but it comes down to whether democrats back johnson or not and what johnson is willing to give them toy stay united with him. because now that the federal budget's passed with no major policy issues that are probably going to come to the floor between now and november, johnson has to show democrats there's a reason to keep him in that seat. >> then you've got julie, representative mike gallagher, saying i'm out of here. we knew he's resigning. now he says he's resigning early. that's how insufferable it is to be a member of congress these days. i want to flip what hayes said on its head which is, yes, it may be that democrats need to save mike johnson's speakership if there is, in fact, this motion to vacate. are there any republicans, do you hear any chatter about a willingness to vote for a speaker jeffries? >> no. look, speaker -- democratic leader jeffries had gotten more votes in the multiple rounds of speaker elections that we had in the fall. and by the way, back in january, that was kind of a funny process on the floor because, of course, all democrats supported him unanimously

i don't see that with many members as it relates to johnson. and a disciple. these are threats. he has to watch it. taylor greene made the threat looking at the ukraine funding bill, which i think johnson will be forced to take up. for the moment, i think he's okay, unless, you know, we have a few more resignations. it would be utter lunacy for republicans to engage in yet another circular firing squad eight months before the election, where there's a very good chance they would lose their majority anyway. >> yeah, can you imagine losing the majority outside of an election. i want to talk about what happened on the senate side. republican lisa murkowski suggesting she could be open to leaving the party. take a listen. >> i just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of donald trump. >> reporter: you becoming an independent caucus from republicans, is that something you're open to? >> i'm navigating my way through some very interesting political times. let's leave it at that. >> is that the only option for old school republicans who

no, no, i don't think speaker johnson is afraid at all.nd i don't believe the motion will come up. the motion marjorie put in was not privileged. so it is not being called up for a vote. i don't think the democrats will go along with this either. we're close to the election. we've watched what transpired the last time you went three weeks without congress being able to act. you can't do anything if you don't have a speaker. i think we've moved past that. we've got a lot of challenges. we've got fisa coming up and ukraine funding and a border wide open. those are the issues that the country is looking on, the kpi and others. if we focus on the country and what the country desires, i think the personalities could solve their own problems. >> when you were in washington, you used to deal with marjorie taylor greene and she's blaming johnson for everything from chaos at the border and she's starting this process to end the chaos that americans are living in every single day. do you endorse her tactic? what is game here? >> look, the one thing
