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
