why does mike johnston care if you or others say that? >> he cares because we will be voting in november. and i think americans still believe that our country is strong in the world and we understand that if freedom is affected in europe, freedom in america will soon also be affected. the republicans tell us they are strong on china and they would defend taiwan. why the hell would taiwan think we would defend them if we can't even stay on the fight on russia? you have to connect those dots as well. >> you brought up two topics. china and freedom. they are relative to the vote that happened on the floor today. i wanted to ask you, you were on the other side of your colleague. you voted against the legislation that would force the sale of tiktok or ban it if it wasn't sold. why did you vote that way? >> this was not an easy one. i can see how people arrive. at their conclusion. there are a lot of policies in place. issues around privacy and control that the chinese government may have. but for me, i don't like republican bans on books or bo

if and when mike johnston brings it he loses his job as speaker and incurs the wrath of donald trump.oved. >> i think it's a really open question for what happens with mike johnson if he brings ukraine up for a vote. it would pass for flying colors and i don't know that we should assume the republican conference has the appetite for another leadership fight they don't have an alternative and they maybe aren't so politically dumb to put themselves into that quagmire on the precipice of a general election. i'm not even sure donald trump wants that. i think the speaker should govern with a little more confidence than he does today. i think he's trying to get through this next round of budget negotiations. we have to keep the government open and operating. if you brought the ukraine built up for a vote on the heels of passing a budget i think he would get the votes for it and i don't think he would get the contest for leadership that he thinks because donald trump doesn't want that fight. he knows that would drown the republican party and him and the controversy that ultimately doesn't he

friday was a very, very bad day for house digger mike johnston. not only is johnson now facing a looming battle -- to vacate marjorie taylor greene, he is also dealing with the dwindling house majority with wisconsin congressman mike gallagher announcing plans to leave congress next month. republicans will soon be able to lose just one vote if all democrats vote together on legislation. joining us now -- congressional for the national post. >> mariana, i have to ask you, is there more frustration in the republican caucus with marjorie taylor greene or speaker johnson? >> 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 tim

. >> there are these reports that speaker mike johnston may bring a vote right after easter around aid to ukraine, when they all get back. does that give you hope that aid will resume? >> it does. it definitely does. there are a lot of different ways that the speaker can bring this vote to the floor, and just like in the senate, where it passed 70-29 -- we don't get many of those kinds of boats these days. and so i think we mentioned in an earlier segment that there is strong support in the united states as well as in the congress, but the senate and the house, for this ukraine package. so yes, when the speaker finds a way to get it to the floor, then the funds will then come to the pentagon, and they will be able to buy more ammunition and or to restock our own supplies so that we can send more to ukraine. >> what is your reaction to how politicized aiding ukraine has become in the u.s.? >> it is so interesting. if the republicans are split, the democrats supported -- but again, when you say so politicized -- in the senate, 70-29, that's a pretty strong vote. that's a pretty strong vo

. >> meanwhile uncertainty over the future of mike johnston. republicans and democrats signaling johnson could be on shaky ground if he brings ukraine aid to the floor. >> it is possible, we have one or two people that are not team players. they would rather enjoy the limelight, social media. >> i stand in support of our leader, hakeem jeffries. he is in those meetings, during the negotiations. if you were to call me and say, look, i would like to have your vote in support of johnson he's got it. if he says to me otherwise, i'm going to follow his lead. >> we have reported as an analyst covering all these new developments. we are going to go to you in washington, d.c. gary, the biden campaign is giving us a new look inside that massive new york city fundraiser. what are we hearing? >> president biden got a couple of friends together for a big fundraiser thursday night. much of what happened thursday night was about comparing and contrasting as it relates to policy, personality traits. what was very clear is it was also about the personality and

mike johnston did three more of them and didn't lose his job. there is a real reluctance despite the activities of marjorie taylor greene to remove the speaker. you would be hard pressed to ask any of those eight republicans who evicted kevin mccarthy to explain what they have gotten out of it. they have nothing out of it. nothing has really changed. >> connor, is there a way for democrats, i can't believe i'm asking this, to take advantage of the gop's infighting? >> yeah. if by take advantage, you mean just sort of do the job they were elected to. that was much closer last time than anyone realizes. i know some democrats in close and involved talks. it was extremely close. didn't quite get there. i think now that the republicans have lost a couple of additional members, it is closer and they are more disgusted with their own side. absolutely. i wouldn't call that taking advantage. i honestly think there is just a lot of people in the democratic caucus that would like to do what they were sent there to do which is pass the bills. >> so what abo

so mike johnston is not going to be interested in doing thing, but still, we've got to legislate to putmechanism in place to deal with office holders who become insurrectionists, trying to overthrow our system of government. >> congressman, speaking of dealing with people who are sort of enablers, seeking to overthrow our system of government. you mentioned that there was a lot of people who joined you. and day in and day out, what is it like to be serving with people who were not in that camp, who are supporting and enabling the not counting votes, enabling what's going on now. one, how does it feel? two is there anything that could be done in either parts of congress to deal with that problem, people who would take an oath of office and don't seem to be complying with it? >> yeah, it's like -- it's like we've been watching our gop colleagues sleepwalking. it's just step by step, they accepted, unacceptable, intolerable things. beginning with things like oh, you know, you can grab women by their private parts or calling, you know, third world countries blank hole countries, or the musl

. >> i feel like i feel like mike's a sort of right wing george galloway with his, with his. >> i'm not a right wing george galloway, ben johnstono make sure they know defend ourselves. absolutely. >> and i think the falklands is a of how acting a good example of how acting decisively the money decisively and putting the money behind . i don't think behind it works. i don't think we should be overly negative. >> i countries like russia >> i think countries like russia would want us to be as would want us to be feeling as though failing, though we're failing, because actually when they invaded ukraine, stunned by ukraine, they were stunned by how strong not just nato allies were, but britain was in its response. >> we have actually had a lot of solidarity , and the truth is solidarity, and the truth is that the number of people in our armed forces has been falling, and the funding for it for more than decade . than a decade. >> and so the very fact that this is now the conversation i think shows progress. >> the is that we >> you know, the fact is that we are spending more in ukraine. we are spending more in ukraine. we are spend
