and they need to surround mike johnson and say, mike, it's time to leave. reporter: congresswoman, last time it took weeks for you all to coalesce to even get somebody who wanted to be there. who do you have in mind this time around to prevent congress from shutting down and not doing its work? ms. greene: we have people capable. anyone will to fight for our agenda. anyone who refuses to share the power with hakeem jeffries. that's something we're capable of doing, if we decide to do it. this republican conference can do it. i have watched us do great things. just as thomas massie said, before they ousted kevin mccarthy, we passed seven separate appropriation bills. we were passing incredible bills that lined up with exactly why people voted for us. once mike johnson took over, he completely stopped it all. we only had five left and he just let them go. [inaudible question] ms. greene: what our conference is capable of doing is electing someone that is ready and willing to lead. and i have full faith and confidence we can do it. we just have to do it. mr. m

>> let's be honest, we have mike johnson because nobody hated mike johnson. there was nothing in his prior life political or private that qualified him for this job. he's a lost ball in tall weeds. he's unequipped to negotiate with chuck schumer and a lot of people have ideas about why he's betrayed us. i think it's pretty simple he's over his head and so, i would say there are at least a dozen members of our conference who either politically or privately have done things in their life that qualify them to lead and i'd be willing to consider any of them and we don't have a list. >> would you guys-- what do you say to republicans who are saying that you guys are playing into the hand of the democrats that this will cause chaos and essentially-- >> that, that little narrative that you echoed is a lie and that comes from the republican establishment that republican voters are ready to take a sledgehammer to and destroy. they're fed up with it. you want to know why? that's bull-- >> (inaudible) >> oh, yeah, absolutely. he just had -- he had another thing he had t

massie: we have mike johnson because nobody hated mike johnson. there was nothing in his prior life or political or private that qualified him for this job. he's a loss ball in tall weeds. he's unequipped to negotiate with chuck schumer. and a lot of people have ideas about why he's betrayed us. it's pretty simple. he's over his head. i would say there are at least a dozen members of our conference who either politically or privately have done things in their life that qualify them to lead. i would be willing to consider any of them. we don't have a list. >> what do you say to republicans who are saying that you guys are handing it to the democrats. this will cause disunity and they believe -- ms. greene: that little narrative that you echoed is a lie. that comes from the republican establishment. that republican voters are ready to take a sledgehammer to and destroy. they are fed up with it. you want to know why? that's bull. it is. >> a few weeks ago -- [indiscernible] ms. greene: he had another thing he had to attend to. absolutely. >> motion t

greene: instead mike johnson worked with chuck schumer and gave joe biden and the democrats everything they wanted, no different from how hakeem jeffries would have done. whereas speaker johnson fully funded special counsel witch-hunt against president trump, our republican nominee. house republicans could have used our power of the purse to stop this but speaker johnson didn't even let us try. whereas joe biden's weaponized d.o.j. is arresting a new january 6 election protester every single day and putting nonviolent political enemies including veterans, mothers, fathers, and grandparents in jail for years and the fifth january 6 defendant has now committed suicide. whereas, our pro-life christian conservative speaker mike johnson fully funded the department of justice. as it is prosecuting and convicting peaceful pro-life activists facing 11 years in jail. again, refusing to allow republicans to offer amendments to stop these injustices. whereas, actions are the only thing that matter and words are meaningless without following through on them. by passing the democrats agenda and han

do you support mike johnson? i support mike johnson . and look, it is a tough job.he thing republicans need to do, focus on what we've done, do not give up on h.r. two. you can do ukraine and the border at the exact same time. that's what we would have done last year. that's what we would have been able to accomplish. i want to thank you so much for being here today. speaker mccarthy, especially since i know that this is your first mother's day without your mom, who passed earlier this year. how wonderful it must feel to you that you took her to this state dinner at the white house. you actually even took her on some travel. you took her to israel as well? yes. to all mothers out there. happy mother's day, but give your mother an extra hug from me. i lost my mom just a couple of months ago. god bless me with a tremendous mother, and i was able to take her to israel. she talked to bibi. she went to locations that on october 7th were raided and she she saw firsthand. and i took her to the state dinner as well. and mothers make such a difference in everyone's lives. an

before this, biden openly threatened johnson that the speaker's inability would be remembered for a long time. hold kiev at a critical moment. miketh reminders of joo's failure as president. it is important that johnson’s predecessor was dismissed for suspicion of collusion with the head of the white house on the ukrainian issue. for the first time after his appointment to the post in october 23. johnson really did not allow the presidential administration to interfere in the work of the house of representatives. chosen with on his third try, he became trump's man in congress. at the same time, a split began between democrats and skeptics. conservative republicans. skepticism persisted even after zelensky’s visit to the capitalist hill, where johnson even avoided taking photographs together. at the same time , the priority of fellow party members remained in favor of protecting the us state border, not helping ukraine, even despite the resistance of the republican minority in the senate led by mitch mcconnell. i apologize for the time it took to coordinate support. too much time, even though i worked hard to get republican votes.

saved mike johnson.you have nancy pelosi who was speaker of the house when they impeached president trump twice and and you have jerry nadler who was chairman of the judiciary committee that led e the impeachment against president trump voting to save mike johnson, that tells the american people everything that they need to know. mike johnson is owned by the democrats and refuses to protect president trump even though he runs down the mar-a-lago every chance he gets and hugs him as a tightly as possible. maria: well, look, we all know how the democrats see this. hakeem jeffries, the minority leader in the house, was on "600 minutes" last sunday, and here's what he said. let's roll it. >> even though we're in the minority, we effectively have been governing as if we were in the majority because we continue to provide a majority of the votes necessary to get things done. those are just the facts. maria: i mean, congresswoman, he said it, those are the facts. they are, they're providing the bridge to get pa

i mean, i don't know if we have ever had as small a minority as mike johnson has right now. , pelosi became masterful at this. he can offer the state must pass none. if johnson could muscle it through with republicans, he would be able to argue for more conservative wins, but because he can't he has to bring the bills to where he can get democrats through. if he doesn't want to keep the lights on, he could go and face the republicans. host: that idea of republicans being ok with losing the house, is that ok in the republicans you talk to? guest: not the ones i talk to, they feel majority is very important, however you do get a lot of them worrying that this chaos could cause them to lose the majority, which is why i think some of them want to get the motion to table out of the way and they want to be done with it to show that they can govern. host: let's hear from louise. democratic line, thanks for calling. caller: i think that speaker johnson did the right thing. votes like marjorie taylor greene and all, they don't want to see anything happen in this country that is good f

host: why mike johnson?ause democrats voted in october against kevin mccarthy when one of their own republicans brought forward a motion to vacate the chair. why mike johnson? guest: i would like to see hakeem jeffries as speaker, obviously. but at this juncture we all thought it was prudent to put people over politics to ensure that the american people gain confidence in what we are doing in congress. that they continue to have a positive outlook at what we may be able to accomplish, which has not been the case. enough is enough. host: if congresswoman marjorie taylor greene or another republican offers another motion to vacate the chair, what will democrats do then? guest: we'll cross that bridge when we get there. certainly during these uncertain times in the world and in our country, it is not a good thing to have dysfunction at the house of representatives. again, the maga republicans continue to drag not just democrats, but also a good chunk of republicans off that cliff. so we got to stop that. host:

would have happened is they would have advanced immediately to a vote to remove house speaker mike johnson. that's what happened with former speaker kevin mccarthy last fall. i have the names of the 11 republicans who voted in favor of trying to oust johnson. andy biggs of arizona. eric burleson of missouri. eli crane of arizona. warren davidson of ohio. paul gosar of arizona. marjorie taylor greene. thomas massie of kentucky who, you know, aligned with greene on this. alex mooney of west virginia. berry moore of alabama. chip roy of texas. victoria spartz and marjorie taylor greene basically said that mike johnson was unfit to be speaker. she criticized him over fisa. she criticized him over dealing with democrats to move the foreign aid package and spending bills. this is an interesting situation here because it was basically democrats who salvaged mike johnson as we often say it is about the numbers. and the democrats making the decision with 11 republicans voting against mike johnson. otherwise, we would have had a vote later tonight on removing mike johnson had democrats not come to h

>> trey: the difference this time is democrats will rescue mike johnson.ocrats let kevin mccarthy hang, but they will protectic mike johnson, which makes this whole exercise utterly meaningless. a single republican triggered the removal of a speaker forngle allegedly working with democrats only to then work with democrats to get a ocra new speaker amo oneuc democrats enjoy so much, they will save him. >> what di yd you get? joining us is a national political reporter from the hia hill, joey manchester. welcome, joey. democrats will join with most republicans in table this motiot to vacate, which makes i guess mike johnson more palatable forh democrats and the eight that remove kevin mccarthy come ist that the take away? >> i think that is the take away. i think we solve this deal mike johnson made with democrats where democrats looking to make that deal. they want to more funding to ukraine, more funding to israel. we saw a number of republicans who are also on board with that dealboar. i find it so ironic marjorie findtaylor greene is sitting oue of the k

the move just moments ago to try to oust house speaker mike johnson. the vote, and how this went. rachel scott live on the hill. >>> and the dramatic images tonight. you'll see the boeing 767 forced to land without nose gear. >>> first tonight, multiple states under tornado alerts at this hour, from texas to missouri. a tornado touching down north of nashville. a confirmed ef-2 in michigan destroying homes. this system moves into the east tomorrow. ginger zee with the latest forecast. >>> at this hour, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene making good on her threat, forcing a vote to oust house speaker mike johnson. that vote just moments ago. the boos inside the chamber and how this went. rachel scott live on the hill. >>> tonight, the battleground state of wisconsin. a state that will help decide this election. the new poll just out tonight, biden/trump. and president biden is there. with a major announcement from microsoft. and biden asking voters, what about the promise trump once made in wisconsin? what happened to that? >>> tonight, sources telling abc news there is frustrati

mike johnson will deliver all of these things for them. increase spending, open borders, a loss of our majority and a loss for president trump because this is so demotivating. we sat here and watch total capitulation with the democrats waving flags that were pre-medicated of another country, not just the american flag. mike johnson should've brought the white flag and waved it in front of us.

how are they different under speaker mike johnson?ll have to help pass rules, there are still suspension votes. just as bad as they used to be. ukraine funded, pfizer reauthorized. what did these eight republicans get other than fundraising? >> it is also important to note that kevin mccarthy was a very good fundraiser when he was speaker. in terms of what has changed, look, you know, foreign policy namely has changed. ever since october, china has become an even bigger threat than it was in the indo pacific. the war in ukraine is facing a turning point with ukrainians really saying they need that aid . arguably, most importantly, just before this boat you had iran launching retaliatory strike into israel sending drones into israel. i think the foreign policy calculus of this changed and sort of upped the ante for republicans and democrats coming together on this. trey: former speaker mccarthy says a pending ethics probe and it was personal. if nothing has changed other than what you laid out, foreign policy, with a new speaker, and l

he didn't do anything like that when it comes to mike johnson and marjorie taylor greene. johnson went to mar-a-lago and trump stood with him and praised him, praised her, but there was never a clear indication from trump which way to go, which was way republicans voted as they pleased. >> sahil kapur, thank you very much. >>> still ahead, the folks at trump tv keep insisting you were better off four years ago. >> mr. president, you said recently you would, if necessary, be the first person to get a vaccine. how important do you think a vaccine ultimately is? >> well, i didn't say i wanted to. that's not a correct statement. i feel about vaccines like i kneel about tests. this is going to go away without a vaccine. it's going to go away and we won't see it again. >> the latest look back at why donald trump can never return to the oval office ahead. hi, i'm chris and i lost 57 pounds on golo. golo isn't complicated. i don't have to follow a restrictive diet, and i don't have to spend a lot of time making meals. using golo was truly transformative. it was easy, and inexpensiv

mike johnson almost laughed off the idea that he was under a deadline for congresswoman marjorie taylorir demands or else, here's johnson with you yesterday. let's play that. >> she wants to get an answer soon or something like that. >> look, i'm going to -- we're going to process these ideas just like we do all ideas and all input from viewers, and this is not a negotiation. i'm doing my job, and part of the job is taking suggestions and ideas from members, and that's what we're doing. >> my my was that an eye roll we detected. greene promised this was the week she's going to push for a vote to vacate, and now she seems to have struck a softer tone, apart from her deadline, and what's the latest on this, and does any legit threat to remove johnson still exist? >> reporter: great to see you, too, alex, let's start with the last question, there is no threat that mike johnson will lose his job. maybe 1 in 100. democrats have given up the game and basically said we're going to back you, to mike johnson, if marjorie taylor greene moves against you. that gives mike johnson the leeway to real

mega wing of the republican party make a number of allegations against the republican speaker, mike johnson. some of them are accurate, some of them resolution wildly on hinged, such as speaker johnson, fully funding late tomer abortion. and i have no idea what that's based on. >> but in any case, i know already this is a real moment in history. we'll see if margin killer green is able to get 200 and 18 votes to remove speaker johnson. i would guess not, but party i don't know as much as cnn's manu raju does, and he's on capitol hill. manu. i see congressman tom mass from kentucky there yeah. oh, let's listen. >> once i can, jake, we've got reaction. yeah. go go go is calling for a motion to vacate. >> lets all of u.s. in life get to decide how we handle disappointment you can be productive, or you can be destructive. ms taylor greene is choosing destructive we know that this motion is not going to do one thing to make america stronger. it's not going to do one thing to the liver. a conservative victory. it's going to seoul discord and dissent. >> and by the way, it's going to fail. >> she

instead mike johnson worked with the chuck schumer rather than with the conference and gave joe biden and the democrats everything they wanted. no different from how speaker hakeem jeffries would have done. whereas speaker johnson fully funded special counsel jack smith's witch hunt and 91 indictments against president trump. our republican presidential nominee. house republicans could have used our power of the purse to stop this but speaker johnson didn't even let us try. whereas joe biden's weaponized d.o.j. is arresting a new january 6 election protester every single day and putting nonviolent political enemies, including veterans, mothers and fathers and grandparents in jail for years. whereas our pro-life christian conservative republican speaker mike johnson fully funded the d.o.j. as they prosecuted and convicted peaceful pro-life activists who are facing 11 years in jail. again, refusing to allow republicans to offer amendments to stop these injustices. whereas actions are the only thing that matter and words are meaningless without following through on them, by passing the d

because donald trump wanted to help vladimir putin and he froze the house of representatives and mike johnson was far too long. when johnson changed his mind, i've give him the benefit of the doubt just because. i think by that point, i think the responsible people in the party come to him and said, listen. we are going to get this through with or without you. but i just want to say even while we thank him for what he did, the cost of his delay, devastating to ukraine and a gift that keeps on giving to vladimir putin. >> two quick things. as charlie said, speaker johnson paying a debt to donald trump and trump pushed off mtg's motion to vacate. this is johnson saying thank you for keeping meal at my post. however, as charlie also noted he stayed in the post because democrats came to his aid. aftermath of his appearance in court yesterday a number of democrats and some giving interviews saying that is not happening again. he just burned that bridge. we will not bail him out if there is another effort to push him out. a consequence from yesterday. u.s. official i talked the last couple of days

story that thing that the us house of representatives has rejected a motion to remove speaking mike johnson, johnson survived the challenge to his leadership with will make his fighting overwhelmingly, against the resolutions put forward by the fire rock republican madry, tyler grain. it's the 2nd time embrace of months. but house republicans have tried to ask their own lead to something called the resolution a distraction at a time when the party has the smallest house majority. in recent us history. i wonder off the back of that, daniel, and does this mean that the internal wrangling with some of the members who belong to the spring wing of the republican party is now a thing of the past? definitely for now, if we see that the house of representatives swiftly defeated this effort by imagine retailer agreeing that you just mentioned, to remove republican speaker, mike johnson from his leadership role. and what so interesting, he is. a democrats actually joined the republicans in disability protected johnson's is because she failed to gain traction among her colleagues. and crucially, she w

mike johnson fully embraced it. he funded 61 more billion dollars for ukraine while he funded hamas and gaza. why do you support israel when you are funding hamas? he gave more money away while our border stays open and today 300 americans will die from fentanyl. tomorrow, 300 americans will die from fentanyl. the next day, 300 more americans will die from fentanyl poisoning because of the war on america. that is led by the cartels in mexico. nobody in washington, d.c. gives a damn. americans are sick of it -- sick and tired and fed up. you want to know something? nobody wants to rock the boat in washington, d.c. that would be uncomfortable, marjorie. don't want to face the issue, marjorie. let's just wait and get through the election. let's just assume president trump is going to win. we will fix it next conference. i'm sorry. how many more americans have to die? how many more dead american buddies have to pile up before the house of representatives that is paid for by american tax dollars actually does something a

be mike johnson is not a moderate. he's further to the right and kevin mccarthy, mike johnson is the most far right speaker in modern american history. at that point why in the world would democrats go along with saving him? i think we know the answer. for one reason it's the devil you know versus the devil you don't problem. they had to vote to replace mike johnson, will his successor be worse? the answer is probably yes so the calculus makes sense. i can, look at recent history, the last several months. johnson has repeatedly turned to democrats to advance key legislation, including the ukraine aid. that is an important element for them when they are making this decision. as he just noted, there is leverage coming up, votes on essay authorization, key bridge, there are votes on fiscal year 2025 and if they can leverage this road in an advantage then that works in democrats favor. >> hayes, i am conscious of the fact that there are many people who are worried about democracy and how the next y election goes, not from

that mike johnson brought bills to the floor that were necessary for national security?t majority of members want to vote on? they are so mad about that they wenwant a motion to vacate the speaker. they make it impossible for the speaker to actionable leverage over democrats and get things that we want like border security. arthel: 's texas congressman dan crenshaw dismissing the threat from hardline republicans house speaker mike johnson. marjorie taylor greene's motion expected to hit the floor next week but does not get in the support she needs from either party let's bring it former advisor to speaker jon weiner. loot stack and strategy founder and principal. so speaker johnson was recently at mar-a-lago. speaker johnson has aligned himself with former president trump. speaker johnson has a blocked or stalled bipartisan border bill as advised by the former president. so it will or should any of this be entered into the equation as the democrats calculate saving speaker johnson? >> democrats are looking at this more about how to they want to see the institution run? h

it is not lost on me the role that mike johnson played when the leadup to january 6. we saw that in our work on the januarycommittee and has not been forgotten by our members. however, we want to turn the page. we don't want to turn the clock back and have marjorie taylor greene to dictate the schedule and calendar of what's ahead. we want to turn the page and focus on the pressing issues that everyday americans care about and spending time on this, on just -- just doesn't make sense to us and so after hearing from our caucus both today and in the preceding weeks, we felt that was important to clarify and -- in the leader's statement, joint statement, he said specifically this was on this motion to vacate. because of the republican rules that they all passed -- by the way, we all voted against -- it's possible this could happen again. with respect to this motion that she could bring up, we want to -- we want to turn the page and we want to move on. reporter: i heard the distinction you made to motion to -- mr. aguilar: first of all, and the leader said this morning, w

ultimately what convinced democrats to save mike johnson was the fact that mike johnson followed through with promises, like funding the government on the basis of the bipartisan deal. like putting ukraine aid on the floor, a difficult thing for him to do. he went up against the maga wing of his party ended that vote. he also did the fisa vote against progressive members who wanted changes to the surveillance law. what democratic leaders saw was a speaker essentially giving them the vice partisan -- the bipartisan vote they wanted. there are not a lot of bills that have to be done. there is faa reauthorization. everyone thinks government funding and farmville will be punted until after the election. this is the last train leaving the station and marjorie taylor greene didn't have standing for her demands. the majority principal, which she didn't have anywhere close to a majority of the majority for this vote, which her colleagues noted as well. >> i'm not going to get into who the rule is named after, but you should google it. donald trump, this was hilarious. everyone says marjorie tayl

democrats saved mike johnson.ere's an article in politico saying that failing acts of political theater, greene ostracized after ouster push. now, she is even losing conservative allies. she was never hugely popular among her more centrist colleagues. after forcing a vote on ousting speaker mike johnson even conservatives seem to have abandoned her, leaving the georgia firebrand with next to no allies in the house. "people are calling me saying, please tell her not to do this. mike is a good man doing the best he can. trump is calling her telling her not to said representative barry loudermilk. "i think that she has lost a whole lot of respect in her district." that is politico if you would like to see the rest of that article. wayne in junction, texas, a republican. caller: how is it going? host: good. caller: i think that george washington is turning over in his grave with the political prosecution of donald trump. how do you expect the people are going to react when they try to put the leading candidate for pre

mike johnson, that's got to be a hard vote.se you want to save america from the constant chaos, the dumpster fire, the junkyard that the republican party in congress is. on the other hand mike johnson would not be your first, second, third or fifth choice for speaker of the house. >> absolutely not and you are taking me back to another dysfunctional house, the texas house. you know, here's the deal. i appreciate the comments of those in marjorie's district. e >> it is interesting because no one ever thought mike johnson would be the speaker that he is. i do not care for mike johnson nor his politics. in fact, he just disinvited, basically, the kenyan head of state from doing this address to congress. and this is the week after the democrats have saved you, right? and he said it is because there is so much work we need to do. i guess it is the freedom of the refrigerators that we need to focus on, instead of having this joint address to congress. so i dislike mike johnson's politics for so many reasons. i actually voted yes to s

a ton if mike johnson is speaker, number one, and number two, i think mtg's feelings about mike johnsonk, listen, i think for trump, he doesn't want the republican party on capitol hill a complete mess as he's running for president. he's probably finding it distracting. and i think he said and what the chairman of the rnc said behind closed doors just a couple of days ago at house republican conference meeting was, we don't want trump to win the presidency and us to lose the house, that doesn't do us any good. now that is projecting, but that is what he thinks. >> jake sherman on capitol hill. good to have you. thanks as always. >>> and that is going to do it for me today.

and we know that mike johnson cannot get a majority of republicans in january. even our colleagues who are not cosponsors of this have privately admitted there is no way in hell they are going to vote for mike johnson to be speaker in january. that's why we need to handle it now, put somebody in that seat who can lead our conference and present a united front to republicans who are going to go vote in november. >> are you considering running for speaker? rep. greene: everybody, we are going in the press conference, what i'm calling on his mike johnson can pray about it, think about it all weekend, do the right thing and resign, giving our conference time to elect a new leader, a new speaker of the house. he should reject the endorsement of hakeem jeffries and the entire democrat leadership team, that is not an endorsement that any republican speaker should ever want or embrace. and this vote will be called next week and i just want to urge all of our colleagues to prepare for it. it's the right thing to do for america. it's time to clean house and get our confer
