the most powerful person in that room. >> and so what you >> see with marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz is they're willing to pull them on these gambling. >> all right. adam got to cut you john, bob, sorry to do this for marjorie taylor greene, but she's speaking out, let's listen to start it out as with rules and promises to the american people that we would bring regular order back to congress speaker johnson has betrayed that by passing three crs and then forcing us to pass. up to vote on a two-part omnibus the second one being today. he also only gave us i mean, i don't even know we had one day basically to read a pages, breaking the 72 bauer rule. this is a betrayal of the american people. this is a portrayal of republican voters. and the bill that we were forced to vote on, forced republican and still choose between funding to pay our soldiers. and in doing so, funding late term abortion this bill was basically a dream and a wishlist for democrats and for the white house it was completely led by chuck schumer, not are republican speaker of the house not our conference. and w

marjorie taylor greene and george santos are running the house republican conference. d at this point it's marjorie taylor greene on the inside and santos on the outside, but clearly he's trying to come back. now, here's the choice the american people are going to face next few months■?. team normal versus team chaos. team reasonable versus team dysfunction. and team get stuff done versus team extreme. team biden versus team marjorie taylor greene and george santos, and that's a clear choice for the american people. i was wondering what was happening on this side of the room. reporter: something that wasn't mentioned was the farm bill and after re-authorization this year. will you set backgain? mr. jeffries: it's my hope we'll be able to get the farm bill ■q■= year and/or the calendar year and democrats, as we have been committed in otherwill continue to find bipartisan common ground with our republican colleagues. as i said, any issue wherever n order to make life better for the american people, the farm bill has always been bipartisan and as long as the extreme maga r

so, marjorie taylor greene said i have not talked to president trump about this.gely president trump and speaker mike johnson have had a great relationship and speaker mike johnson put 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 minim

>> yeah, i think this is part of marjorie taylor greene's strategy. she knew that there was going to be no scenario in which she would stop the funding bill from going forward. but ukraine aid is one of the things that she's been most insistent about. and she's told speaker johnson that she does not want to see ukraine aid brought to the floor. speaker johnston is open to that. but they won't deal with it until they could back from the two week recess. but i think this is her saying this is on the clerk's desk and if you bring ukraine aid to the floor, i'll take the next step and push this motion to vacate. but i have to tell you, if speaker johnson does put ukraine aid on the floor, i think that you will see a rush of democrats come to support him. i talked to a national security democrat, former cia agent, who is in no way interested in protecting mike johnson. but she told me that if he does the responsible thing in her mind and brings ukraine aid to the floor, then she would be open to the conversation of preventing the chaos from taking place aga

marjorie taylors -- marjorie taylor greene's motion to oust mr. johnson poses the deception behind the coup against mccarthy. after we criticized the coup as destructive and self-serving, matt wrote us a letter, saying that in electing mr. 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 pr

hard right republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene is back again. she filed a motion to oust her speaker, mike johnson, even as the house was voting on the spending bill to avoid a partial government shutdown, that's when she did it. that bill was pushed through by speaker johnson himself. greene, among but no votes, said the bill was a win for democrats, and showed johnson had betrayed house republicans. >> it's more of a warning and a pink slip, and i do not wish to inflict pain on our conference, and throw the house into chaos. it's time for us to go through the process, take our time, and find a new speaker of the house that will stand with republicans and our republican majority, instead of standing with the democrats. this bill was passed without a majority of republicans. this is a democrat budget, and it was passed by mike johnson. >> meanwhile, the speaker is once again facing a shrinking gop majority. congressman mike gallagher of wisconsin, who announced last month he would not run for re- election, said he would now leave congress sooner

i don't know what the endgame is for the marjorie taylor greenes of the world, matt gaetz, out of chaos, but there are people who are actually giving them money to say, keep doing what you're doing. >> this is what they're after. marjorie taylor greene filed a motion to vacate and stepped out of the capitol and they were almost 100, it seemed like, reporters piled around her. that's what she wanted. she wants to be able to have us talking about her. she wants to be able to fund raise but it's not just her. this is the game right now. these are the incentives. every single one of them is out for themselves. as we all know, politics is supposed to be a team sport. you can't get anything done unless you are working as a team but everybody out there sees this. everybody so what met tasted. he traveled around with the president, they'll want to be like that and the irony is, as much as these guys are blowing up the house, all they are doing is empowering democrats. as you pointed out, the bill today was overwhelmingly passed by democrats. anything that happens in the house right now has to h

there's a vacuum. >> john, marjorie taylor greene is potentially looking to push out mike johnson and democrats like tom suozzi are saying no, we want to make sure we protect him. what's going on and specifically what's marjorie taylor greene up to? she doesn't have any independent thoughts. she does whatever donald trump tells her to do. >> she's certainly not going to do anything at odds with what donald trump wants. she's had some interest in the vice presidency or a cabinet spot and presents herself as close to president trump. this is what she's up to i surmise as the congressman pointed out a moment ago. she helped kevin mccarthy. she got on the wrong side of the anti-government base of the republican party and now she's doing some makeup. she wants to get rid of mike johnson. i think it's possible there's a bit of payback for him given that she was so closely supportive of kevin mccarthy, but at the end of the day what you've got here, stephanie, is a significant number of republicans who aren't just in what congressman dent said about the hope he has to vote no caucus. there a

i mean, what how do how do swing voters perceive kind of what marjorie taylor greene did there? well, like i said, this yesterday, look, anytime joe biden has the opportunity to do a split-screen with marjorie taylor greene. he should take it because these swing voters, these sort of right-leaning into dependence soft republicans. they don't want to be in a political coalition with marjorie taylor greene and people like her. and i think the stunt that she was pulling wearing a hat wear like what he did was he met her at her stunt and he colder on it. and i think it was a little unclear what he was saying. and i think that actually it matters less about the specific words he used them, the fact that he got into it with marjorie taylor greene, and he did the thing where he acknowledged her family and made it put it in personal terms. and so i think he got through that just fine >> congresswoman, can you take us down, come onto the floor in terms of the way that frankly our policy it's like so so deeply divided us mean there were we had reports here at cnn last night that there were

>> i would say marjorie taylor greene. it is something i heard from even far right member from the house freedom caucus that they're not taking this too seriously. simply because as many republicans pointed out, she is someone who seeks attention. it will be interesting to see, though, if she did file this motion not under any special privileges that would actually force the house to consider this question of vacating the speaker. but if she does, and she can do it at any point in time, that is where the question will weigh on a couple of republicans. the are really, really frustrated far right members who are just upset by the vote that we saw yesterday. and a number of other things that johnson has so far done. >> mike waller who is a republican out of new york sits in one of those districts that we talked about the 18 districts that a republican represents but joe biden won in 2020. he has something about this desperate to say that all of this. marjorie taylor greene, -- and democrats potentially assisting. i want to pl

marjorie taylor greene the leader of that group.e sort of sweet spot where he can put the ukraine aid on the floor and do it in a way that conservative republicans don't revolt. they're floating the idea of making it a loan package. it's not clear democrats will support that, but ukraine is definitely kind of the turning point right now and the way that we're waiting to see how that future.ut in terms of johnson's >> so the democraticage l on -- angle on this is really interesting. we were talking about this with speaker mccarthy, indicates obviously did not come to his aid. marjorie taylor greene said that would be bad for him. would it? >> yeah, it would. if you're the speaker of the house, you never want to have your power from the minority. i can just tell you every time he has to walk into one of those conference meetings and they look at him and say you're only speaker because democrats voted you there, they will use that against him every time. but that may well be where we end up. i mean, the situation is such now that conse

welcome. >> i have to ask you, is there more frustration in the republican caucus with marjorie taylor greene or speaker johnson? >> i would say, with marjorie taylor greene. it's something that i heard from even far right members of the house freedom caucus. they are not taking this too seriously, simply because, as many republicans pointed out, she is someone who seeks attention, so it will be interesting to see, though, if she did file this motion, not under any special privileges that would actually force the house to consider this question to vacate the speaker, but if she does, she could do that at any point in time. that is where the question is really going to weigh on a number of republicans, and there are really, really frustrated far right members, who are just upset by the boat that we saw yesterday, and a number of other things that johnson has so far done. >> mike lawlor, who is a republican out of new york, sits in one of those districts we talk about, 18 districts that a republican represents that joe biden won in 2020. he had something to say about om all of this. marjorie ta

marjorie taylor _ data. there is not much that i agree with marjorie taylor green - data. did make a fairly valid point today that if it's about protecting data surely there are other american companies that are selling that data and selling it overseas. lie and selling it overseas. us technology _ and selling it overseas. ii’s technology companies are notorious for their data collection practices. we see many scandals including other social media companies where we see businesses build their business models around collecting and sharing american sensitive and personal information in ways users may not expect. it is true that because of this overall environment if tiktok were to be sold to an american buyer that probably wouldn't significantly increase us privacy. if american companies are alive to take the same action that tiktok is being accused off with up —— allowed to. action that tiktok is being accused off with up -- allowed to.- action that tiktok is being accused off with up -- allowed to. maybe not the data but — off with up -- allowed to. maybe not the data but t

on marjorie taylor greene. i mean, first of all, you know, he she could have listened to mike johnson and kept it civil, but then it almost seemed like she handed president biden a pretty key moment tonight. do you think he handled that the right way, notwithstanding that he's kind of gotten some, you know, criticism from his base about using the word illegal? but how did he handle that? that was a pretty key moment there. >> the big question for me going into the state of the union was, will house republicans, once again go with the heckling after it delivered what many would say was kind of the highlight for the white house and president biden last year. and the answer was yes, they went with it. again. i in terms of your question, i know that president biden handled it in the way the white house wanted him to. they they they had an intention to go in and engage with any republican at this point that has, when i talk to democrats, been one of the their defenses and one of the examples they point to when there

marjorie taylor green.was priceless. you were shocked, seeing her. during your response to her heckling of you, you used the word illegal when talking about the man -- >> undocumented person. i shouldn't have used illegal. look, when i spoke about the difference between trump and me, one of the things i talked about was the way he talked about vermin, these people polluting. at talked about what i'm not gonna do. what i won't do. i won't treat any of these people with disrespect. look, they built the country. the reason our economy is going. we have to control the border. >> so you regret using that word? >> yes. >> what was it like for you to see republicans not share your tough words for president putin, or for anything that republicans used to stand for. >> i think some do stand forward, but they are pretty much intimidated by trump right now. look, i am talking to you. i'm talking to these folks. marjorie taylor green. yesterday, he spends time at his mansion and the resort, talking about his greatest r

he's up there with marjorie taylor greene in north georgia. yesterday, he spends time at his mansion, at his resort with victor orban. he talks about his respect for the president of korea, valerie putin, it's a different world. >> was that a mistake to house orban ? >> is a member of nato but he says he doesn't believe in democracy. the people and with are people who, in fact, in and , they have great respect for one another. but, look, when you have a president who, in the midst of the carnage going on as a consequence of russian attack on ukraine and talks about come in if these guys haven't paid their dues, just do what you need to nato. he talked about getting out of nato. it is a critical thing to our national defense. we made a commitment after world war ii that none of that would happen again. look what he's doing. it's dangerous. >> you were caught on a hot microphone after your state of the union address talking to secretary of state antony blinken and senator michael bennet saying, "i told him, and don't repeat this, you and i are g

marjorie taylor greene was her usual combative self. tell me what the mood was like there and how much did it reflect political divisions in america right now mark >> oh my gosh. i was sitting right on the other side of the aisle from -- i think of the same role -- row as ntg. she is trailer trash. she shows every single day that is who she is. she has not been able to conform to some sort of rules. we have rules. this is not just about her wearing a maga happened we are not allowed to wear any hats on the house floor, let alone a baseball cap but we are not allowed to wear any type of campaign paraphernalia. i remember black caucus numbers tell me about the fact they have been told they had to take off buttons that has george floyd's name on them when they were on the house floor. here it was, she told the sergeant at arms she would not take it off. it was completely disrespectful. the fact that he -- other than that the fact that they did not stand up and would not stand up for things like, cancer treatment. they would not stand up fo

the big take away was that he did not fall flat on his face in the way that the marjorie taylor greeneens were banking on. they were certain he would not be able to get to the speech without embarrassing himself. >> that is crazy. this is the third -- he's been president for the last three years. he has given an inaugural address. he takes questions from the press, not as regularly as he should, but he has given a joint address to congress in his first year. his second state of the union, you can argue the third if you count the joint address. what universe -- what team are they sipping on to believe the man could not get up there and rise to that occasion? >> it goes back to brennan's point about how they are high on their own supply. what was striking to me, for all of that nonsense, for the circus and the sideshow, you had the president very clear straight out of the gate saying the stakes are high. you heard echoes of his original campaign. crisis at home, crisis abroad, you need someone on day one who is ready to hit the ground running. they were echoes of what we have heard befor

>> marjorie taylor greene is a disgrace. the fact that she pulled that stunt, war that had, she was so disrespectful she should not of been allowed to do it. it was shameful and gross. >> let's be clear, it was a woman who was killed. >> i would not have used the word illegal. he shifted and started talking about immigrants right after that. as an immigrant myself, i was heartened to hear him talk about the importance of immigrants and the pushback on donald trump for his rhetoric for causing. he shifted off that. it's not a word anyone should use to describe anybody. it's unfortunate that republicans are trying to create wedges around immigration. the president wants to help secure and fix the border. he wants an immigration proposal and that's what they should focus on. >> the congressman has spoken. thank you for joining us. i appreciate you. >>> we will be right back with msnbc's coverage for the state of the union address. do not go anywhere. an alternative to pills, voltaren is a clinically proven arthritis pain relief

i think they have a marjorie taylor greene there's this clip that is now floating around. it's from when joe biden is walking into the state of the union. it's the moment where marjorie taylor-greene hands him the button but what everybody is focusing on is how she is dressed head to toe in this kind of maga reelect trump. >> all of most of >> her colleagues followed the decorum rule. there are several points where she was heckling the president of the united states. and they asked her to shush and i think part of what the white house is really leaping at right now is that in the midst of this moment where people are saying, does joe biden and have energy, does do you notice joe biden age appropriate? what have you he is showing a contrast with somebody like marjorie taylor greene, who, who frankly it looks in saying it's such a startling contrast particularly because it's a reminder of what americans don't want to go back to. this idea of going back to that kind of, that kind of landscape that kind of partisanship. no, i'm not interested in that. so i think the republican

there is no leadership, there is a vacuum. >> so marjorie taylor greene is looking to push out mike johnson and democrats like tom swaze are saying no, we want to make sure we protect him. what is going on and specifically, what is marjorie taylor greene up to? she doesn't have any independent thought. she does whatever donald trump tells her what to do. >> she is certainly not going to do anything at odds with donald trump. she had some interest in the vice presidency. very close to president trump. or at least, presents herself as such. this is what she is up to i think. she helped kevin mccarthy. she got on the wrong side of the anti-government base of the republican party. and now, she is doing some make up. she wants to get rid of mike johnson. it is possible there is a little bit of payback here for him. at the end of the day, what you have here is a significant number of republicans who are not just in what congressman dent said. there are members of congress who have been sent here to oppose the government continuing to operate. right? there is no appropriations bill they will ever

marjorie taylor greene's of the world, they are attracted to the republican party right now.mike gallagher alike, i am out of here. this is not a place for me to spend any more time. >> right, andrew, it use to be i am announcing i am not running for reelection. now, it is it is 4:00. i quit today. >> two separate announcements. one, i am not running for reelection. a few weeks later, actually and clinically's early. >> what we heard from marjorie taylor greene seven but the legislative triple dog day. we know from a christmas story that it trumps everything. you had to go through with it if you do something like that. will she really go through with it? >> i think she will, especially if speaker johnson put a ukraine bill on the floor. it has been a redline for her for many other conservatives. what is notable is she is doing this before mike johnson has decided what to do about ukraine aid. his aides are suggesting they will explore different paths with regard to ukraine, israel and taiwan when they get back from the two week recess in april. she is literally firing a warni

neil: marjorie taylor greene wanting to get rid of the speaker of the house of representatives.motion or sends she intends to file that motion was all you need is one member of congress to do that. what has her rankled and upset is the same thing that has a lot of conservatives upset though she went the extra measure to try to toss him out. the latest scheme to keep the government lights on until september 30th carried many concessions on spending, bigger deficits and debt, she said enough is enough. aishah hasnie following these developments, the same measure passed in the house, no guarantee in the senate but what's the latest? >> reporter: this was a surprise. a lot of members were surprised to buy this. we are asking about this a couple days ahead of this vote. we kept hearing know, there will not be a motion to vacate or at least people dodging that question. she was the only one that friended earlier this morning during an interview and then we saw her walk over to the dais and drop the resolution into it and file that motion. it is a threat right now. this is not live, no

marjorie taylor greene is not someone who backs down. does she have any others with her right now?> it is hard to imagine another speaker fight. what does this mean going forward? lisa: let's look at the votes because things are very tied and the house of representatives. first of all, when you're looking at the margins, can buck has left. we have 218 republicans after his departure, the majority in the house now is 216. johnson can lose just two republicans and keep his speakership or he will have to get support from democrats. i spoke with -- to replace george santos. he said i will support speaker johnson. there is one democratic foe. but other democrats say if we are going to support speaker johnson we want to get something out of it. this is going to lead to days of instability or maybe speaker johnson weathers it. marjorie taylor greene will make a lot of money and fundraising out of this. >> more news related to the numbers. that slim republican majority is about to get even slimmer. this was such a dramatic friday. we also had an unexpected piece of news from mike gallagher

we would not know who marlow -- marjorie taylor greene was. o was just ousted said johnson should not be worried about it. he hugged marjorie taylor greene and elevated hurt to calm her down and keep her on his side. so, this hugging of far right folks in the republican party often backfires. you don't think the line is going to eat your face, it just would eat everyone else's. we are seeing over and over again that that has not been true with people like marjorie taylor greene, i will say the way that she filed this motion to vacate for johnson did not trigger anything. it's convoluted but, essentially, it's basically a warning. it's sitting on a threat against his speakership. maybe it doesn't come through, however, it does continue to make everyone look chaotic and it looks like they don't know what they're doing. >> right. it's all on public, as you say, with that hang out there with the way it was done it also extends the amount of time that this is floating as a new cycle and the thing over mike johnson instead of whatever governing prior

lauren boebert sitting near the entrance next to congressman matt gaetz and his congressman, marjorie taylor greene, also sitting very close to the aisle. both boebert and marjorie taylor greene told me earlier today that they would not be afraid to yell back at joe biden if they feel like that. you know, in their view, he is saying something untruthful or something that they don't like. and marjorie taylor greene, of course, was someone who said that joe biden was a liar during last year's state of the union address, something that the speaker, mike johnson, absolutely does not want to see. so how will they greet the president when he enters? that's a question. when jill biden was just introduced, the first lady, marjorie taylor greene, was seated while the rest of the chamber was just half giving a standing ovation. jake. >> yeah, we should point out just for fairness sake, that, joe biden was not lying about what he brought up when congresswoman marjorie taylor greene yelled, liar, he had been saying that there were republicans proposing sunsetting services like medicare and social security, and

amen, i would with marjorie taylor greene? amen, i would advocate _ with marjorie taylor greene? aylor greene? amen, i would advocate a 10-15 minute tough | would advocate a 10—15 minute tough love would advocate a10—15 minute tough love punch— would advocate a 10—15 minute tough love punch to america and then be done _ love punch to america and then be done i_ love punch to america and then be done. i agree, love punch to america and then be done. iagree, iwant love punch to america and then be done. i agree, i want a pep talk but iwant— done. i agree, i want a pep talk but iwantto— done. i agree, i want a pep talk but i want to see — done. i agree, i want a pep talk but i want to see some righteous anger out of— i want to see some righteous anger out of president biden. think about where _ out of president biden. think about where we _ out of president biden. think about where we are. he is running against someone _ where we are. he is running against someone who three years ago tried to overthrow— someone who three years ago tried to overthrow an american election. he does not

what are the chances marjorie taylor greene will cool down? district in rural georgia, and it wouldn't surprise me if she comes back more fired up. the issue for her is more complicated. marjorie taylor greene is just dangling this piece of paper in front of him saying i will do it if you cross me again. she's not giving a time line, not saying who he would be replaced with. she's not saying how things would get better if he's gone. there's no end game here. she'll need some allies in the house gop to vote with her to remove johnson, and right now she doesn't have any. that includes matt gaetz who triggered the vote to overthrow kevin mccarthy: i spoke to him a few days ago. he said he does not support a motion to remove mike johnson, though he's doing essentially the same thing on spending that kevin mccarthy did. it includes bob good, another one of the detractors on the same day marjorie taylor greene filed the motion to vacate, would not go there. the big impact could be on the issue of ukraine aid. speaker mike johnson has said once congr

marjorie taylors -- marjorie taylor greene's motion to oust mr. johnson poses the deception behind the coup against mccarthy. after we criticized the coup as destructive and self-serving, matt wrote us a letter, saying that in electing mr. johnson, the gop had a real conservative as the leader. so, 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 georgia, joined the sunday morning futures to exling 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 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 th's in these funding bills. if speaker johnson really wanted to secure the border like he promised all of us he would the ame

they are putting their marching orders from marjorie taylor greene, and that is why you have seen members like mr. gallagher of wisconsin decide they are going to leave congress, because they have simply had enough. the madness and the reckless, radical republicans that now control the majority in the house is bad for america and we are seeing that on display over and over again. >> we will get to her more in a moment, but let's move onto haiti right now. the u.n. says this has the makings of a humanitarian crisis. earlier this year, i joined in new york mayor eric adams for the u.s. to do more to help haiti, and i met with haitian nationals detained at the southern border. you have just cosigned a letter calling on the white house, along with leaders of the congressional haiti caucus, and more than 60 democrats, to get these haitian nationals here in the u.s. temporary protective status and to pause deportation of haitians. congressional republicans this week blocked $40 million in aid requested by the biden administration for haiti, part of a multinational effort to stabilize the countr

marjory taylor green does not back down. the issue is does she have others back her right now. >> what does this mean going forward? >> lao let's look at the votes because things are tight in the house of representatives. when you're looking at the margins it has changed because ken buck has left. we have 213 democratses. that means the majority in the house is 216. johnson can lose just two republicans and keep his speakership with all republicans support or he will have to get support from democrats. i talked to tom swaze. he right away said i will support speaker johnson. there's one democratic vote but other democrats say if we want to support speaker johnson, we want to get something out of it. this will lead to days of instability. one thing is for sure marjory taylor green is going to make a loft money in funding off of this. amna: there was more news, that slim republican majority is about to get slimmer? >> this was such a dramatic friday. we had an unexpected piece of news from a very high profile republican member

>> you know, i mean every time marjorie taylor greene sort of becomes the face of the republican party and increasingly she is it alienates those swing voters who do not want to be in coalition with people like lauren boebert, marjorie taylor greene, matt gaetz, and so if marjorie taylor greene wants to be the face of the republican party and she wants to present the contrast to joe biden tonight. i'm all for it because i think he comes out on top. just one thing. i'll say for biden. that's really important is the vast majority of voters do not watch the state of the union. when i do focus groups after the state of the union and check in with voters and say what they thought. most people are not watching it, what they're doing is they're getting vibes and like the vibes need to for biden need to be like he was sharp, feisty, like that comes from headlines, that comes from a little tangling with the opposition. and so i think that's how he succeeds tonight, not by just knocking through the policy point. >> so maybe not so bad if he gets someone like marjorie taylor greene heckling him f

in that case once more republican marjorie taylor greene. joining us now laura eegen, coauthor of the play book and working on very little sleep. thank you for joining us this morning. let's start right there. this was an overtly political speech. this felt like the kick off, the unofficial kick off of president biden's re-election effort. what were some of your main take-aways. >> talking with aides to president biden ahead of his speech, they all acknowledged the "state of the union" is typically a really hard speech to write, to deliver. and they didn't down-play how big a moment this was going to be for the president. they were pretty clear-eyed just how much he needed to accomplish in this speech. i think one of the key things they were pretty aware of he needed to do is really asage voter concerns we've been talking about the last few months relating to the president's age. and based off conversations and text messages we all received last night from white house aides, from democrats close to the white house, they feel like he really d

so marjorie taylor greene offered this motion to vacate is speaker johnson's job? really in jeopardy? >> well, jake, i would say his speakership certainly is on thin ice right now. anger had been brewing on the right all week over this bipartisan spending deal that johnson cut with white house in democrats last night, marjorie taylor greene said she was done with speaker johnson and this morning she filed that resolution to oust mike johnson from the speakership, but she did not take a critical step to force a floor vote on the resolution. so a slightly different situation than when gaetz took down kevin mccarthy. but let's listen to a little bit more of what marjorie taylor greene had to say i filed a motion to vacate today, but it's more of a warning and a pink slip. our respect our conference. i've paid all my dues to my conference. i may member in good standing and i do not wish to inflict pain on our conference and to throw throw the house and chaos so green is essentially preserving this as a threat. she's keeping it in her back pocket. and for johnson's part

that has prompted this move from marjorie taylor greene.the border process and just the process of putting forth the bill. now, whether or not it is going to be taken seriously or she has the support from her members of congress, that's kind of up in the air. i spoke to a lot of members who are just fatigued with the process. that i don't want to deal with yet another motion to vacate. they understood and they remember what happened in october and how it just, you know, hobbled the cob for three weeks. they don't want to go back to that. also they don't want to go back the to their constituents. think about that. they have to go back to their constituents and say give us congress again, we should govern again when they haven't done the job so successfully. i'm not sure this is a winning message going into the 2024 election. >> with this hanging over johnson's head, tell me, how much more difficult will it be for him to lead. you're right, the government funding bill got done finally, but there are other things on the horizon, including huma

it won't move until marjorie taylor greene herself specifically asks for a vote to occur.etheless, it serves as a warning shot to the house speaker mike johnson. there were conservative republicans that were angry with the way this budget process worked itself out. they held a press conference earlier today saying that this is exactly what they campaigned against, these big, massive appropriations bills all tucked into one bill and passing through basically with a small number of negotiators putting the final touches on it all. what it means in the long-term is an open question here. even though they do have this ability to bring this motion to vacate up -- that's what marjorie taylor greene has done today -- it doesn't necessarily mean that there's the votes there to actually make it happen. there are a lot of battle scars that republicans are still dealing with in the wake of the situation that occurred with the former house speaker kevin mccarthy, the lengthy attempt it took, the numerous speaker candidates to replace him. there isn't a strong appetite to go through tha

right off the top, and i want to play the sound when you asked about the conversation with marjory taylor greene. for me, it was that part of biden that no one reallybi appreciates is that he is not afraid. he is not afraid. let's listen to what you guys talked about with marjory. >> i noticed the look of surprise on your face when you walked in the room and saw congresswoman marjory taylor greene, it was priceless. you feigned shock at seeing her. and during her heckling of her, you used the word illegal when talking about the man who killed laken riley. >> undocumented person. i shouldn't have used the term illegal. undocumented. when i spoke about the difference between trump and me, one of the difference at the border is the way he talks about vermin, people polluting the blood. what i won't do is treat any, any of these people with disrespect. they built the country. the reason our economy is growing. we have to control the border in a more ordererly flow but i don't share his view at all. >> so you regret using that word? >> yes. >> and that to me says a lot. you have those two images, the

and not allowing any of us republicans to do our job. >> georgia republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greenemove house speaker mike johnson but she filed a motion friday to have johnson vacate the speakership. green and some pellet republicans say he caved to democrats by ushering through 1.2 trillion dollars federal funding bill had dodged a partial government shutdown but it is also stirring up strong feelings among divided lawmakers. let's bring it new york republican congresswoman claudia tenney. she sits on the house and ways committee. good morning congresswoman and thank you for coming in on this palm sunday. appreciate it. let me ask you, what are your feelings about this motion marjorie taylor greene filed to potentially remove speaker johnson? she said it's like a pink slip like a warning. but you know, it is out there now. >> is the perilous move pretty but matt gaetz to filed to vacate against mccarthy is against this. we have among the most narrow majority we have ever had in the congress. mike johnson is the most maga speaker were ever going to get the most conservative likely

we were just talking about that with marjorie taylor greene and others.ht now people in new jersey want integrity and a new generation of leadership to step up. right now, i'm getting a lot of support across the state from people who are tired of the same broken politics. so whether, wherever he is on the ballot whether he is there on the ballot in november or not, i will beat him and win this seat and do my best to try to represent the people of new jersey and away they have not been represented before. >> thank you so much for your time. >>> the criticism aimed at judge cannon and what jack smith can do about it, ahead. despite treatment, it's still not under control. but now i have rinvoq. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that reduces the itch and helps clear the rash of eczema—fast. some rinvoq patients felt significant itch relief as early as 2 days. some achieved dramatic skin clearance as early as 2 weeks. and many taking rinvoq saw clear or almost-clear skin. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood

talking about with the congressman. >> i think for a lot of folks, though, the drama was marjorie taylor greeneat nonsense that sort of came into conversation. i'd like to play for you, hayes, a little bit of marjorie taylor greene on the motion to vacate. >> it's more of a warning and a pink slip. i respect our conference. i played all -- paid all my dues to my conference. i'm a member in good standing, and i do not wish to inflict pain our our conference and throw the house in chaos. i support republicans holding the majority next conference, but we need a speaker of the house that knows how to negotiate, knows how to walk in the room, knows how to hold the line, and knows how to defend america first. >> so hayes, she doesn't want to inflict main, nor does she -- pain, nor does she want to create conflict inside of her caucus. how crazy is that? that's all she's been about. and so the frustrations for the speaker is that i can't get anything done when this right flank is just constantly yipping and nipping and threatening. how does this now set up the remainder of this time before we get to t

you just saw marjorie taylor greene making very clear in many different ways that she is done with my johnson, that she has as any member does still we'll has the ability to vacate the chair, which means that they can hold a vote to get rid of mike johnson and she said she's filed a motion to do that. i want to go to manan raja, who you were seeing there for awhile in that scrum with marjorie taylor greene? the first question i have for you, manu, is what i'm hearing from members of the house republican leadership. and this is all complicated stuff. so we'll try to walk. our viewers through it as we try to process what's happening is that yes. she filed a motion to vacate to kick mike johnson out of the speakers chair, but she hasn't know it yet. can explain what the significance is that i will yes, i will eat. >> she needs to actually be called >> address the house floor and announced that she's moving ahead with that starts the clock that would that'd be two legislative days after that happens on the floor where the vote must take place and they're going on a two-week recess. so thi

marjorie taylor green was not being a provocateur.'t care how bad it looked to anyone out side her voters in georgia. >> i have to sneak in a quick break and brandon, you'll be sticking with us. we will be right back. >>> does anyone think the tax code is fair? do you really think the wealthy corporations need another $2 trillion tax break? i don't. i will keep fighting to make it fair, under my plan. nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny and federal taxes. not one penny. they haven't, yet. good to go binge-watch. good to go out even later. with cabenuva, there's no pausing for daily hiv pills. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider, just 6 times a year. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you're taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems,

next on the sunday show, marjorie taylor greene says she is not the one causing chaos.speaker mike johnson for keeping the government running. chaos? child, please. i will discuss the wild week on capitol hill and what happens next with my panel when we come back. back. no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: marnina learned that most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. if you have hepatitis b, don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking dofetilide. this can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. if you have a rash or allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. serious or life-threatening lactic acid buildup and liver problems can occur. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. dovato may harm an unborn baby. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tir

and of course you have the disruption with marjorie taylor greene at one point hectoring the president, talking about laken riley who was killed. they passed a bill in the house of representatives and her name today. and of course, marjorie taylor greene tried to talk to the president when he came into the chamber earlier today, and she was wearing a red maga hat. i think that's interesting, because they have banned hats and the house of representatives since 1837. there is an actual rule if you look at the house rules that you cannot wear a hat inside the house chamber, that's why frederico ricin, the representative from florida is prevented from wearing her signature cowboy hat, and the legendary late democratic congresswoman from new york, she used to wear a hat around the capital, but was not allowed to wear when in the chamber, and obviously she would wear it, so there were not many members of congress who are female said that she would not be mistaken for a secretary. i also thought that it was interesting that the first thing happen when he came into the chamber, exiting the cha

. >> jonathan: that was republican mike lawler responding to marjorie taylor greene's threat to oustformer dnc chair donna brazile, former rnc chair and trump white house chief of staff, reince priebus, former -- now former colorado congressman ken buck who just left office on friday, and "washington post" congressional reporter mariana sotomayor. congressman, let me start with you. >> sure. >> jonathan: you left congress as of friday just as that was all going down. i guess that didn't cause you to rethink your decision? >> not at all. no rear-view mirror. happy to move on. dysfunctional place. >> jonathan: you must have been pretty intensely frustrated no not only not run again, but to leave early. you're not alone. mike gallagher said he's leaving too. >> yeah. well, since this congress started, there have been efforts to impeach the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the president, the attorney general, the fbi director, and, in fact, did impeach the director of -- secretary of homeland security. serious problems with setting
