>> yeah, i think this is part of marjorie taylor greene's strategy. she knew that there was going to be no scenario in which she would stop the funding bill from going forward. but ukraine aid is one of the things that she's been most insistent about. and she's told speaker johnson that she does not want to see ukraine aid brought to the floor. speaker johnston is open to that. but they won't deal with it until they could back from the two week recess. but i think this is her saying this is on the clerk's desk and if you bring ukraine aid to the floor, i'll take the next step and push this motion to vacate. but i have to tell you, if speaker johnson does put ukraine aid on the floor, i think that you will see a rush of democrats come to support him. i talked to a national security democrat, former cia agent, who is in no way interested in protecting mike johnson. but she told me that if he does the responsible thing in her mind and brings ukraine aid to the floor, then she would be open to the conversation of preventing the chaos from taking place aga

hard right republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene is back again. she filed a motion to oust her speaker, mike johnson, even as the house was voting on the spending bill to avoid a partial government shutdown, that's when she did it. that bill was pushed through by speaker johnson himself. greene, among but no votes, said the bill was a win for democrats, and showed johnson had betrayed house republicans. >> it's more of a warning and a pink slip, and i do not wish to inflict pain on our conference, and throw the house into chaos. it's time for us to go through the process, take our time, and find a new speaker of the house that will stand with republicans and our republican majority, instead of standing with the democrats. this bill was passed without a majority of republicans. this is a democrat budget, and it was passed by mike johnson. >> meanwhile, the speaker is once again facing a shrinking gop majority. congressman mike gallagher of wisconsin, who announced last month he would not run for re- election, said he would now leave congress sooner

it won't move until marjorie taylor greene herself specifically asks for a vote to occur. nonetheless, it serves as a warning shot to the house speaker mike johnson. there were conservative republicans that were angry with the way this budget process worked itself out. they held a press conference earlier today saying that this is exactly what they campaigned against, these big, massive appropriations bills all tucked into one bill and passing through basically with a small number of negotiators putting the final touches on it all. what it means in the long-term is an open question here. even though they do have this ability to bring this motion to vacate up -- that's what marjorie taylor greene has done today -- it doesn't necessarily mean that there's the votes there to actually make it happen. there are a lot of battle scars that republicans are still dealing with in the wake of the situation that occurred with the former house speaker kevin mccarthy, the lengthy attempt it took, the numerous speaker candidates to replace him. there isn't a strong appetite to go through

it was marjorie taylor greene that was offensive and biden was on the right side of this issue. when while his opponent is planning mass deportation camps. that is his plan. they used the word camps. so for democratic politicians to try to make a stink about this and create a bad news cycle for biden where now we're talking about this still four days later and pretend like they were defended, like when you know what is in the president's heart and what his policies are i think a reasonable compromise trying to figure out how to secure the border and while recognizing the dignity of everyone including migrants, i think it was obvious to anyone paying attention that the president was not doing anything offensive. >> and there is a new ad where he uses humor saying he knows he's not a young guy but he knows how to get things done. is this more effective way to communicate on this issue? >> absolutely. the president here needs to own it. in politics if you don't own it, if you don't define yourself and your issue, someone else will do it for you. so yes, it is an issue, but what is

just a little bit of palace intrigue here in congress as you watch marjorie taylor greene be given a big stage for this impeachment effort against mayorkas that she pushed, even as she is pushing against the leader of her own party and the speaker of the house. >> and then, ali, there are developments in the house efforts to impeach the president? >> reporter: that's exactly right. even as we're seeing the house oversight committee led by chairman james comer seem to back away from the fact that they're going to have enough to ultimately move on further impeaching the president of the united states, moving towards an impeachment in an official capacity, we're watching comer sort of throw out a hail mary in the final weeks of these investigations saying that he wants biden to come forward and actually testify before the house. the date that comer is throwing out is april 16th. of course, he's saying that it is because of involvements that biden allegedly had in his son hunter's business dealings. but there is no concrete evidence that even the house republicans' best witnesses have ac
