boris johnson . immigration. boris johnson. >> so there you have it.e worst prime minister in british history, according to nigel farage, who only last week i think had been praising boris johnson and saying that, you know, they could work together. and he admired what he achieved on brexit. so let's get into this, olivia, you're staying with me. joining me now in the studio as well is the journalist and author ross clark. you've written a piece, ross for the spectator, where you're basically saying you think farage has made a mistake here. however, i will put it to you that he's not wrong to suggest bofis that he's not wrong to suggest boris johnson is a hypocrite. if off and we see it in black and white there that i newspaper headune white there that i newspaper headline does reveal that back in 2016, boris johnson suggested that the eu had provoked putin. so he can't have it both ways. johnson he can't be saying that nigel farage is a putin appeasen nigel farage is a putin appeaser, having been accused of the very same thing himself eight years ago.

johnson's audio diary is fantastic. i highly encourage people to listen to it just to hear her talk about november 22nd and how it started out. a beautiful day is so poignant in the case. pat nixon at people forgets sometimes about the audio visual records. and in the 1972 republican convention, there is the last one to fall. and i recommend that everyone see she gets up to give a speech or for 8 minutes. she cannot. jimmy stewart introduces her. she gets a standing ovation. she looks back at him. he tries to get at ronald reagan. is there. she tries to he gets she almost walks away at one point because she can't say. anything continues. finally, after 8 minutes, she says very short comments. but the importance of that is 1972. it shows her tremendous popularity, her and her her incredible personality does come through in that audio visual segment, her graciousness, her humility. so i think that's a wonderful document. and then are wonderful audio visual statement of the classic speeches of first lady barbara bush at th

well, johnson opposes all reconstruction measures. he opposes the civil rights act, a bunch of freedman's bureau acts as reconstruction that are passed during 1860s, which congress winds up passing over his veto. he opposes the 14th amendment, even though the president doesn't have a direct say in that. well, when it came time for impeachment, you know, grant was someone who had been consulting with congressional leaders, and he became closer and closer to republicans in congress who, came to have a supermajority that's why they were able to override johnson's vetoes. grant came to believe even in 1865, most of country wasn't the area to believe that. outright enfranchisement of former slaves or a was was do. grant came to believe that that was necessary along with all of these other civil rights measures were being pursued and he also did not like the position that johnson put him in. so he was consulted on most of these major of reconstruction legislation. and when it came to the implementation of military reconstruction, the confed

johnson, thank you for being with us. i have a question to ask, but first i need to say that i'm disappointed about the gentleman from texas talking about black homicide. you usually tell people to stick to the topic and that is not the topic. the topic is about tulsa. there's also the rosewood incident for people who don't know about that. imagine postcards, there were postcards at the tolson incident also. i want to know if there was an investigation done by the bureau of investigation before it became the fbi. i ask that because i watched the movie "killers of the flower mood -- flower moon." that happens around the same time as the total race rights. the bureau came out to investigate the killings of native americans. i wonder if there is an investigation done by the federal government and if there was a cause for reparations, this is a cause. thank you very much. you can actually see the few ditch -- the footage of the riots and you can see there were plans -- planes flying over dropping cans of gasoline. it was awfu

, where to say, it’s johnson who has arrived, johnson broke, johnson threw the ukrainians into the wari don’t know, maybe it’s his political side. but especially the european union. look, signed, signed an agreement, portugal, spain, pridon pavlovich already listed. but no agreement has been signed, because you ask who hasn’t signed yet? let's pay attention to ukraine's western neighbors, the closest ones, romania, hungary, slovakia, poland, have not signed. moreover, they don’t even think about signing. but there is one country, the closest neighbor. very close to me, very almost dear to me in quotes, hungary, which today the leadership of hungary said: listen, ukraine, we gave you 11 back in the winter . no, this country is called subcarpathian russia, it is an integral part of czechoslovakia, here i am, your mother, born and lived in the austro-hungarian empire, and an austro-hungarian. speak in a language incomprehensible to us, we were driven into a catholic church that was incomprehensible to us, you know, this is the minimum, here you speak in your own rusyn dialect, you go, i g

the way he johnson's, manner.y he spoke, they made him they cheered him up, spoke, they made him they cheered him up , frankly, and cheered him up, frankly, and that kind of energy could make the difference for 20 or 30 seats, maybe for the tory party if the former prime minister bofis if the former prime minister boris johnson, chooses to get back involved, to be involved again. so far we're not seeing any indication he is. but clearly rishi sunak is keen to own some of that messaging coming out from boris johnson . coming out from boris johnson. >> yeah, it's interesting. i mean, boris johnson needs to come back from his family houdayin come back from his family holiday in sardinia first, chris, before he even thinks about joining the campaign trail. i was intrigued to read today that yougov still puts him as the most popular conservative politician in britain. he leads the way. he's ahead of even penny mordaunt, which is interesting if we're thinking at some point down the line, he stages that cincinnatus style

donald trump stood in speaker johnson's corner. months we have seen speaker johnson not only go to his manhattan trial and walk out and talk to cameras in support of him. he's called on the u.s. supreme court to intervene in his appeal to undo his criminal conviction stemming from that new york trial. he's also placed two key trump allies on the house intelligence committee to donald trump's liking, including former doctor ronnie jackson. for donald trump and mike johnson, there's mutual interest here. of course, for donald trump, if he were to get back in the white house, it's in his interest to have a governing co-lags with the republican house majority in order to pass through legislation that he would like to enact come 2025. for speaker johnson, there's, of course, key incentive to hold on to the support of donald trump. you'll recall donald trump was in washington, d.c. last week. he met with house republicans and gave behind closed doors acknowledgment and approval to speaker johnson and noted to marjorie taylor greene that

johnson: there is obviously a reason i want to see it. is obviously a reason i'm making a point of it in his hearing. i think you're being very revealing in terms of what the coast guard at that point in time decided, we don't want to reveal that. that might harm our institution. that might be embarrassing. so let's leave that out. let's leave these five pages out. so if i get nothing out of this hearing today, is i would like your complete commitment to show us that full 11 page draft report. if we have to review it in camera, fine, i can go read 11 pages in camera. it is a little more difficult to do another 10 or 20,000 pages. that is why we need these documents here so be can search them, we can search for key phrases. is investigations. in camera review is not a good way of doing it. but i will make an exception for these 11 pages. ms. fagan: i will commit to getting those 11 pages in camera review. sen. johnson: ok, thank you. chair blumenthal: senator hassan. sen. hassan: i am going to move -- there it goes. thank you for holding t

i mean, look, boris johnson will say that i look, boris johnson will say that every single look, borisjohnsonasked in for an endorsement, he is sending these messages too. now we are going to see letters from borisjohnson. having spoken to candidates, some of them who are very long—term mps, quite well known ones, what they were really hoping for was boris johnson coming on the doorstep with them, coming up and physically campaigning because in certain scenes that would make a difference and that would shift the dial. that does not look like as good as going to happen. —— it is going to happen. it shifted because safe seats, supposedly safe seats, i don't know if they are going to liz truss's seat which is a toss—up, she has a majority of 26,000. they are in crouch position in seats that you could never imagine a couple of years ago they would be any danger of losing. i years ago they would be any danger of losina. ~' ., ., of losing. i think there are two factors to _ of losing. i think there are two factors to bear _ of losing. i think there are two factors to bear in _ of losing. i think t

boris johnson has appeared on social media.ral election. >> yes, the former prime minister has endorsed certain candidates with a warning to voters over giving labour a generation in power with a super majority. it's also being reported that thousands of letters signed by mr johnson reported that thousands of letters signed by mrjohnson are to be sent to voters this week. >> well, joining us now is richard morley, deputy leader of rejoin eu party, richard, well, i'm not sure. do you have a thought on boris johnson? would he be able to garner some votes? he did, you know, get brexit done. >> well, i think the tory party is in such a desperate situation that when they have to call in bofis that when they have to call in boris johnson, they're plainly showing that they're, they're on the rails of defeat. and, anything that they can do, they hope will help them. but quite frankly, i don't think boris johnson will be able to help them at all. >> it's interesting, of course, because these letters that boris johnson is said to be signi

boris johnson . the big question is, johnson. to the conservatives in 2024? chris >> it depends if he's leading the party. martin. you heard there, from lord marland, even even david cameron could renounce his peerage and come back as an mp. but what what? this is ignoring is the fact you have to become an mp first. and the election neither david cameron nor boris johnson are standing. there's like chris hovis, cornfields, very , very hovis, cornfields, very, very narrow roads. in fact, the bus is now reversing because we're stuck between some very narrow, field, hedges. not sure if you can see us going backwards at the moment, we'll lose forget any metaphors from that. but the tory campaign. but in many ways, we spoke earlier to rishi sunak about the issue of boris johnson and whether he needs to play a bigger role in the in the campaign. and here's what he had to say. >> i don't think it's that. chris. chris, let's move on, we've we hear all the time about political u—turns . chris hoke, political u—turns. chris hoke, we just s

by all reports mike johnson was negotiating this directly. that is very unusual. of any country where a foreign leader negotiates his appearance directly with an opposition leader in congress. that tells you everything you need to know about the political, overlapping interests and this time around they jammed the leader with this decision and decided to give it the bipartisan cover. that is important. he might have come anyway, but now he has the cover of bipartisanship. literally giving a speech and writing in here and rolling out the carpet. again, that will make it harder to do what he has been trying to do, which is press netanyahu into a cease-fire. >> it is coming at the same time that israel is basically contracting out and influence campaign to target democrats under the radar, using a.i., fake social media accounts, fake news websites. what is your reaction to that as someone who had his own interaction with opposition research endeavors? >> you are a friend of mine, alex. you may remember it came out a year after the obama administration that a group of

speaker johnson: it is not a lawmaking exercise.e senateuse were interesten solving the border, we could've done this a long time ago. limits are fine but it will not solve the problem. january 3 this year, we took 64 house republicans down to the border at eagle pass. the largest congressional trip ever to the boer. talked with tn charge. visited the processing centers. eagle pass was the epicenter. they cleaned it up and change the routes after we showed up, but they were allowing some new people in, it was countless, and what they told us was -- i have said this in this room before -- the deputy chief of border patrol, the 30-year veteran of the agency said, we don't need more buckets. we need to stop the flow. he said it is as if i am administering an open fire hydrant. joe biden did. they knocked to the cap right off that thing and it has been flowing ceaselessly for three and a half years plus. our estimate is there at least 10, 12 million maybe 16 or 17 million illegals who came across the border. the official numbers are ove

he is one of the guys speaker johnson believes should be overseeing the fbi. then there is the other guy. congressman ronnie jackson. he was the white house physician under president trump. do you remember him? he was the one who put out the glowing statements about how healthy president trump was and how he just might live to be 200 years old. ronnie jackson is now a far right congressman from texas who pushes conspiracy theories and says anthony fauci belongs in jail. here was congressman jackson responding to trump's guilty verdict last week. >> be ready. stick to the gander. and i am going to encourage all of my colleagues and everybody i had any influence over as a member of congress to go after the president and his entire family. >> subtle. these are the guys. these are the guys speaker johnson is giving a seat on the committee that oversees our nation's intelligence agencies. one congressman who is not only actively involved in the plot to overturn the 2020 election but is actively refusing to cooperate with law enforcement about all of it. and another

host: derrick johnson, your response?well, i am not really for sure facts senator tim scott is speaking of, because the reality is, in many cases, it is the complete opposite. we had an unfortunate scenario on the border with the taking of children was a promise to builda wall along the border. the wall was never built. we have the track record of the prior administration having the worst record in job creation in the history of an president. i could go on and on. unfortunately, the spin doctors of the conservative movement, when you do a fact-check, most of that will not hit sounds rat, but factually -- it sounds great but factually, it is inaccurate. host: let's go to nathaniel, democratic caller. caller: good morning. thank you so much for having me on. first of all, the naacp has been a bedrock in our community for years and years and years, so i want to thank them for their service. i think, coming from the blackcf our members in our community saying they are not going to vote. i do not think they truly realize the r

>>i johnson?lly disagree with anything. >> aaron said that i think he is taking an opportunity. i think it's a rather strange step to take, i'm reasonably convinced that boris johnson knows a lot more about this issue than nigel farage, but instead of it being an intelligent campaigner , i an intelligent campaigner, i think he's a very astute one. normally he gets it absolutely right. what the british public are thinking about, and this seems a weird misstep from that perspective that the british pubuc perspective that the british public were not on every doorstep going. but what about ukraine? should we have been nicer to putin at any point? should we not have supported nato? it that wasn't the conversation that was going on. and yes, nigel has held this belief since 2014, i believe, is when he first said it. but i don't understand what he thinks it gets him unless it is to divide the two main parties, unless we're being too cynical here and trying to find political operation and focus groups and

so vaughn, trump and speaker johnson met just last week in d.c.do we know about today's meeting? >> right, this is a mutual interest relationship for both of these men here. house republicans are holding on to a razor thin majority, and with just four and a half months not only if the presidential election, but also those very house seats being up for grabs, it is going to be crucial, if donald trump were to win this election in november to have a republican majority and maintain that republican majority in the u.s. house. that is why here within about the next two hours, we expect speaker mike johnson as well as the chair of the nrcc to meet with donald trump, the presumptive republican nominee at his mar-a-lago estate. you noted not only did donald trump travel to d.c. to meet with speaker johnson and house republicans behind closed doors last week, but also two months ago you'll recall that speaker johnson made the trek down to florida and ended up holding a press conference along donald trump's side. that was coming around the time the congres

they they were waving, i don't know if you saw this, they were waving ukrainian flags after mike johnson introduced the bill, every democrat voted yes, it was pre- organized, somebody bought 200 ukrainian flags in advance and handed them out and... and i filmed this, which seems like it’s impossible, but you can't wave flags of another country in the house either, so i was like, well, i 'll show it to everyone, i filmed it and posted it on twitter to show the humiliation that mike johnson brought us to by introducing a democratic bill, because this is an object bargaining, even if you are a republican and are not against sending money to ukraine, but you can bargain, do something for us first? or a fine for this will be deducted from his salary. and my assistant, he knew what i would do, he told me about this situation and i was like, well, time to retweet this post. look, sometimes you have to stand your ground, the speaker had to say that i wouldn't be fined for this, but no one thought about fining congressmen waving foreign flags in the house of representatives. yes, they took selfie
