mike johnson, if he poses a bill to provide supplemental aid to ukraine. joining me now is congressman jamie raskin of maryland, who was a member of the house january 6th select committee. congressman raskin, it is truly stunning to watch this turn around in republicans from being the party of reagan, who said, you know, who was very much standing up to the ussr to essentially stumping for russia on the house floor. how do you read it? >> well, marjorie taylor greene, for example, has been recycling direct russian propaganda. she says our tax dollars are going to support ukrainian nazis. and that is a putin line that he's denazifying ukraine and that it's a nazi state. of course it is a liberal democracy committed to equal rights for everybody. and human rights. and it has the only jewish president in the world outside of israel. so, calling it a nazi state is such an affront and an insult to the ukrainian people. and it's just a lie. and yet we're hearing a lot of that coming from various republican members and different sources, to the point where you're

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
