Mike Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Green on a collision course and Speaker Johnson right now fighting back hard to keep his job. If I operated out of fear over a motion to vacate, I would never be able to do my job. Look, history judges us for what we do. This is a critical time right now. Green says she will take down Johnson over a high stakes vote on Ukraine aid that Johnson says he is going to bring to a vote in days. It is a vote that Green says could end Johnson’s speakership. And this is it. This is the outline of a $60.84 billion bill that Johnson wants to bring to the floor. Now look, it should happen a long, long time ago, but it is still a big deal and it’s a massive gamble for Johnson. He’s betting that he’ll get this bill over the finish line on Saturday thanks to the help of Democrats and that he’ll keep his job. But he’s going up against a major opponent who does not want to give another cent to Ukraine, somebody who has Russia’s backing. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green is proposing for the US to withdraw from NATO. She believes that Americans should help Putin win. That’s amazing. That’s Russian state television. In fact, ever since Marjorie Taylor Green started speaking out against helping Ukraine, Russian state television can’t get enough of her. Look at all that. And don’t just, you know, listen to us saying this. I mean, listen to what former Republican Congressman Ken Buck told me. Moscow Marjorie is focused now on this Ukraine issue and getting her talking points from the Kremlin and making sure that that she is popular and she is getting a lot of coverage. Moscow, Marjorie, he calls her once congressman. Buck said that the nickname took on a life of its own. And Green does have, does share, frankly, a lot of Putin’s views on Ukraine. You know, take for instance, this tweet where she accuses the Ukrainians of being Nazis. Well, you’ve certainly heard that before, right? On Russian state TV. A flagrantly brutal provocation by Ukrainian Nazis. Now this crucial bill to supply Ukraine, it details here with more aid. And look, as I said, it is crucial. They need it. It needs to be done. But it in, in a sense, gosh, time really mattered. Putin’s military now has the momentum in Ukraine and the head of the Pentagon’s European command just told Congress, and I quote the army, Putin’s army is actually now larger by 15% than it was when it invaded Ukraine. And just over the past 24 hours, you’ve had 71 battles across the front lines, 43 airstrikes from. Russia to Ukraine. And Ukraine right now does not have the firepower to fight back, and that’s how Moscow likes it. And Marjorie Taylor Green, of course, seems to like it too, since she doesn’t want any money going to help Ukraine.
