you know, as we've seen, she seems dedicated to coming after mike johnson. i'm sure she'll say she's just as close of an ally to donald trump. i don't know this saves him, but i'm worried what mike johnson may give away to donald trump. perhaps scuttling ukraine, for example. >> keep an eye on that tomorrow. let's talk more about marjorie taylor greene and her threats. we played sound earlier in the show. she's very much on this, saying that johnson's leadership on issues like fisa and ukraine make her think, more or less, he's not up for the job. do republicans, though, will they really want to go through this process again? will she have support? >> they don't want to go through the process, but they didn't want to go through the process with kevin mccarthy either. that was really unpopular in the conference. all it takes is one member who can force them into it. what this feels like is she is trying to build that requisite support to go there. this is all good politics for marjorie taylor greene, where she comes from. she's never cared about being popular

speaker mike johnson is now delaying a key priority for far-right republicans and facing new pressure to pass funding for ukraine. good morning and welcome to "way too early" on this wednesday, april 10th. i'm jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. just two days after former president donald trump said that the states should decide their own laws regarding abortion health care, arizona has just given the nation a stark example of the consequences of leaving this issue up to the individual states. yesterday the arizona supreme court ruled that a 160-year-old near total abortion ban still on the books in that state is enforceable. 160 years. the bombshell decision dating from 1864, which could shutter abortion clinics across arizona, now adds that state to the growing list of places where abortion health care is effectively banned. the ruling allows that 1864 rule to stand, making abortion a felony punishable by 2 to 5 years in prison for anyone who performs one or helps a woman obtain one. the civil war era law, which was enacted half a century before arizona even gaine

speaker mike johnson said the topic of ukraine but as the house gets ready to reconvene tonight we have no indication what speaker johnson has said on this front, what that legislation will look like, if he'll add any policy provisions to that. a lot of folks are in the dark right now what this will look like. speaker johnson floated some possibilities he may make this as a loan, he may include a provision that will roll back a biden administration energy policy, but again we don't have any concrete details. and you note the motion to vacate threat against speaker johnson, that is still very real right here. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene held a town hall in her district last night and railed on government funding to this issue of ukraine aid. in an interview with another outlet last week she said putting ukraine on the floor is one of the most egregious things he could do. so there's a lot of tension and pressure between these two individuals right now, and this is all going to come to a head this week, again as johnson looks poised to finally move ahead on that foreign aid suppl

house speaker mike johnson unveiled a gop-led foreign aids package yesterday. according to three sources familiar with the process, the package would be stacked with four plans. three aid-specific bills and one with national security priorities. the three aid measures would amount to roughly tens of millions of dollars that would go to israel, ukraine, taiwan, and other allies in the indo-pacific. the fourth would include seizing russian oassets in the u.s., a loan lease program for ukraine and additional sanctions on iran. johnson said his preference is to vote on each bill individually, but he'll let the chamber decide. >> there are precipitating events around the globe we're all watching carefully, and we know the world is watching us to see how we'll react. we have terrorists and tyrants and terrible leaders around the world like putin and xi and iran, and they're watching to see if america will stand up for its allies and our own interests around the globe, and we will. >> we'll have more on johnson's proposals a little later in the show. >>> meanwhile the
