some other policy provisions that were added to it, including allowing the seizing of frozen russian assets& to deliver those frozen in russian assets to ukraine to help us part of that aid. that was one other policy measure, but by enlarge though fred, this is very similar to what the outlines of that bipartisan bill that passed the senate about two months ago. but nevertheless, the way he handled it was not good. i hit republicans a priestess over the hate to interrupt because everything you say is relevant and pertinent. but right now, it looks like the clock as ended on the voting for this israel aid package in the form of $26 billion. of course, we're waiting to hear it officially said, oh, if we look at the totals right now, three, 60 six to fit, two, in favor of passage here. >> a couple cheers. they're taking place, but we have not heard officially let's listen to it. right now

>> voting has ended for the fourth and final of the foreign aid packages as of today's very rare saturday session, there in us house of representatives. and you look at the toll those 366258 in favor of passage of this 26 israel aid package, 17 billion of it would go to offensive and defensive weapons for israel, 9 billion in humanitarian an aid for gaza. of course, we still have to

hear them officially say that this has been passed, but manu raju, back with this, they're outside outside there on capitol hill. they have four items today to accomplish. checkmark on three of them. you've got to national security aid package that's been approved the ukraine package approved and money for the indo-pacific region and allies that of a taiwan as well so this seemingly was embraced by a majority. they're just looking at the tally this was to be expected for israel package yeah, there was still some opposition and then as you say, it looks like this vote is not yet finalized yet. >> i'm probably going to close this any second now, but yes, as well on its way to pass a share, but there is different from the other ones because there are more democrats who oppose that even though a majority of democrats did support this still it just 37 democrats. it looks like am

counting about who have opposed as 21 republicans and counting there were those democrats who were concerned is signed on the letter. a raised concerns about moving forward, ukraine aid, wanting more of especially offensive weapons in you israel aid, and asking for well conditions on aid to israel, which is why you're seeing some of those opponents on the left flank of hakeem jeffries opposes measuring some of those republicans voted against us concern about the humanitarian aid that be going including some billions that could go to help in gaza. that was important to for democrats you, but it sounds like they may be calling this vote any 2nd year for france. so feel free to interrupt me if and when they do. but at the moment, well, on his legs, listen to bill, is passed without objection. >> a motion to reconsider is laid on the table. pursuant to house resolution 11, 62 senate amendment to hr eight 15 is considered as agreed to with the amendment described in section six of house resolution 11, 60 chair lays before the

house, a communication misspeaking trends, washington, dc, april 20, form. >> i hereby desecrate the period from saturday, april 20, 2024 through sunday, april 20 hey 2019. very ago. the fourth of four, i foreign aid packages today, past they're on a rare saturday session at the us house of representatives there on capitol hill are manu raju back with us 26 billion going to israel and included that the $9 or so and humanitarian aid i'll for gaza. so for today and mission accomplished essentially for house speaker mike johnson, but now new business is soon to begin. for him. >> yeah, look, it remains to be seen exactly how this ultimately plays out. i'm going to keep my eye up over here just in case some members who

were interested in speaking with, particularly some of the ones who have threatened to move against mike johnson, they emerged from your will. ask them what their plans are today, but you are hearing just a lot of anger and frustration thracian from the right flank of his conferences vote. so significant is because of the, what is happening in the middle east with the war in gaza, what is happening with ukraine, which is desperately called for more aid at this key moment. so how they decide how these detractors to move ahead will be very important marjorie taylor greene, she has the ability as any one individual member does to actually call for a vote seeking the ouster of a sitting speaker. that of course is a deal that kevin mccarthy cut in order to assume the speakership that same deal ultimately lead to his ouster when matt gaetz led the charge back in the fall to really mike johnson came in the. conservative or very happy with him coming into the position because he's ideologically aligned with them. but as he came in recognizing the narrowness of his majority and the fact that he had to govern

with democrats and leading the senate with democrats in the white house, cutting a deal on keeping the government open, cutting a deal on issues such as a key surveillance law and now calling this deal and foreign aid package that includes billions, $61 billion in aid to ukraine, all of which key aligned himself would democrats, the democratic leaders, in part because of his own classified briefings and how he's learned about these subjects changing and evolving and his views. but as a angering those folks on the far right who are coming after marjorie taylor greene has refused today was the day she tried to call for that vote, she could do that. and then within two one-week recess, so it's uld possible this could get delayed until after recess. okay. but it's also possible they could take it up immediately and tried to kill it too. so all that is uncertain. so marjorie taylor greene does not call for the vote today, asked her to push for then essentially, we're gonna punt it until later in the month and maybe some of those that anger will

subside over some days. maybe that could hurt her ability to go ahead. now, one other important thing, what did democrats do? hakeem jeffries as we've been reporting, has not said what how the democrats should deal with a lot of democrats are going to wait for jeffrey says decision on what to do here over whether or not to push him out from the speakership. jeffries just loved the house floor. he was asked by our colleague ali main whether or not he is what he's going to do now because he had said, let's wait for these bills to pass before i make a decision on that. he's simply declined to comment, refer back to previous remarks. so it's still uncertain what he will do, perhaps because they are waiting to see what marjorie taylor greene decides to do it, then they will decide whether it's time to save mike johnson's speakership. but the betty mike johnson's speakership. but here i just wanted to alert you, fred, because marjorie taylor greene is now coming down the steps of the capitol. and we're going to try to make sure that we agree fabra stay with me okay. maybe a little chaotic as we go into my seat are you letting your shoulder knowing i need to she

said she has declined to comment, let's stick with you of the day say it with me live because we don't want to get an answer to her look, down. look about welcome back, guys going to right here. right, right. right let my colleagues go home and hear from their constituents because i think people have been too obsessed with voting for foreign wars and the murder industry. >> here in america, it actually understand how angry americans are when you have the strongest loudest voices? in republican and the republican movement and grassroots, furious calling for mike johnson to be vacated. the people here, my my colleagues have not heard the message, so i'm looking forward for them to go home on hearing hearing from the folks back at home.

>> but this is the cell out of america today. >> when we add members congress in there waving the ukrainian flag on the united states house of representatives floor while we're doing nothing to secure our border, i think every american in this country should be furious. >> it's who's going to vote for these people have how can you vote for these people? >> they don't serve our country. >> republicans deserve on a motion to vacate. >> eventually, i just i don't think you were listening very well you said you like your constituents, but when i mean, given what you said to republicans deserve to be in the majority that's up to the people because this is the third betrayal by mike johnson. >> he's he delivered a two-part omnibus funded the department of justice 91 federal indictments against president trump, funded the fbi that rated mar-a-lago gave him a brand new fbi building funded joe biden's open border policies that are killing america can every single day, then they need reauthorized fisa that spied on american citizens, spied on president

trump's campaign. and he voted against the war or requirement, the same warrant requirement that he was for six months ago, and they did this in here on the house floor. foreign war package that does nothing for america hey it's it's unbelievable. i'm, i'm thankful that the american gets to see who this man is. i'm thankful that amir, who gets to see who the people that voted for this is, because this silly way, it's going to change people have to see the trace is this fight against russia not worth it? thank you, ma'am. why is said, are you waiting to see if there'll be more support in your conference before calling a motion to vacate their there is more support. it's growing. i've said from the beginning, i'm going to be responsible with this. i support my majority of support, the majority next time, i do not support mike johnson. he's already a lame duck. >> if we had the vote today in our conference, he would not be >> he's already a lame-duck. he can't raise money. everyone knows that. we know we can't win the majority next year without raising money. he

can't be speaker. he doesn't have the vote. this is the process that just talked to die are going to raise it took donald trump what are you waiting for it to drop this motion? this was the last big legislative push before september, something that you're going against for months now, what are you waiting for it on triggering this motion? >> you know, there's some people that are rash and irresponsible and do things like what happened last time. i'm not that person i didn't come here to congress to actually hurt our institution, hurt our majority. i'm handling this the right way. then saw i'm allowing the process to happen. the american people are going to have their way are motors are going to make their voices heard. to my colleagues and the party. and like i said, the vote was held today, mike johnson has a lame duck or you he's done, or you can talk to trump about this. are you gonna bring this to trump? are you going to bring it up to trump president trump watches the news. >> i'm sure he knows what's going on. >> he says he ukraine aid congress. do you think president trump could have been clear? he was not very clear about this bill regarding

ukrainian please like it could chill out why do you think president trump could've been here okay. >> i'm sure you're still with me, fred so, that was yeah. >> so look, i mean there are a couple of takeaways from this and add if you want to move over this way a little bit so we can reposition ourselves, get out of the malay. >> so this was one thing when now we just learned she's not moving forward. >> the motion to vacate today. that was important. that means that mike johnson's job which will we've been reporting, who has been on the line because she has been leading the charge that tried to house them. she can she's not going to go ahead with this today. they're going back home for a week recess. she believes republican voters will come after you because now let's listen to house speaker johnson rule we all know and we saw a disturbance here on the house floor just a bit ago i just wanted to say simply what i think most people around the country understand and agree. we should only wave one flag on

the house floor. and i think we know which flag that is i said these are not normal times. they're not world is destabilized and it's a tinderbox. it's a dangerous time three of our primary adversaries, russia and iran, and china, are working together and they're being aggressors around the globe. and their global threat to our prosperity. and our security they advanced threatens their free world and it demands american leadership. if we turn our backs right now, the consequences could be devastating so this afternoon, the house acted and we sent over to the senate and it will be transmitted shortly our supplemental national security legislation and make no mistake this is not a blank-check like the senate supplemental bill was. this is very different. >> instead of taking the past path of least resistance and bringing up the senate supplemental on the house floor, or just allowing a discharge petition to pursue which come forward, which would

have had the same same outcome we gave our members of voice. we gave them a chance. we gave them a better process and ultimately a much better policy. unlike the senate's blank check, the house legislation has a number of very important features. it provides for greater accountability over ukraine aid it forces an end-game strategy for the ukraine war and includes a loan instrument of this foreign aid to ukraine. and the repo act to ensure that russian assets pay for part of the bill and unlike the senate's bill the loan system itself is a house innovation. and allows for much needed inside. now remember that 80% of the ukraine funding will go to the replenishment of american weapons and stocks and our facilities and our operations it also includes tough measures and sanctions on iran and russia and china, which most of the american people understand is a necessity in a very important

thing our process in the end ensured that each member was able to consider the individual supplemental elements on their own merits, which is exactly how the house is supposed to work. i know there are critics of the legislation. i understand that it is not a perfect piece of legislation. were not insured that in a time of divided government and in a time where there are lots of different opinions, but there's no question whatsoever that the house has made many strong improvements to the senate bill and the product that we've sent over there is much better this package, i will note because it's very important, also includes national security priorities and many of them. but it is the only way that we could have gotten democrats to support aid to israel. and that's a fact there is a lot of misinformation out there about the bill and i just want to make one point about one issue that has been drawn. a lot of attention and that is creating of this funding go to hamas or two a terrorist organizations or what have you. and we put safeguards& the legislation to

ensure that unrwa is not funded. the un agency that included terrorist who participated in the october 7 attack on israel. we've also have language that prevents it from going any of the funding going to hamas or at any other bad actors that's a very important element of oversight. congress takes the oversight very seriously and we will continue to keep an eye on every dollar that we are using and invest in at this time, i've said it very simply. i'll say it once again. it's an old military adage, but we would rather send bullets to the conflict overseas than our own boys are troops. and i think this is an important moment and important opportunity to make that decision. we allowed the house to do that, and i expect the senate will make the same decision one or two questions about that. and do you plan to if it's brought no. listen and i as i've said many times, i don't walk around this building being worried about a motion to vacate after i do my job, we did i've done here what

i believe to be the right thing and that is to allow the house to work its will. and as i've said, you do the right thing and you let the chips fall where they may biden the same time it took too long for aid to ukraine and maybe too long why you decided to do it right now. >> listen, the house had a lot of important work to do here. we had to get the government funded in our appropriations process. we had to reauthorize the foreign intelligence surveillance act we had a lot of important measures that had to be done and we got to this as quickly as we could this is an important matter. i think it's timely. i think you've heard from leaders around the world, including in ukraine, that this is, this has been done on a timely basis and the house had to have the time to deliberate and do this in the right manner. i think we did our work here and i think history will judge it will are your hearing from a house speaker, mike johnson there are

after all for foreign aid package just today passed in the house of representatives. >> he says overall he has now sent this to the us as senate. but he also underscores this is not a blank check. however, he says you don't provides for greater accountability. a better outcome of the war in reference to the war with russia and ukraine and he says, it does have that loan aspect we've got priscilla alvarez, who is with us now from washington. this is encouraging news, of course, from the white house. this is the kind of outcome that they were looking for. what are you hearing fred, we are getting a statement right now from president biden on the passage of this national security package. >> let me read part of this to you. it says today members of both parties in the house voted to advance our national security interests and send a clear message about the power of american leadership on the world stage, it goes on to say,

at this critical inflection point, they came together to answer history's call, passing urgently needed national security legislation that i have thought for a months to secure a later goes on to say, i urge the senate to quickly send this package to my desk so that i can sign it into law and we can quickly send weapons and equipment to ukraine to meet their urgent battlefield needs. now friday to remind viewers, the president asked for these funds back in october. these $60 in additional funds to ukraine and he addressed the nation that month and he framed this as a national security priority, noting that it isn't just about helping allies abroad, but that it does affect national security here in the and making the point that the us and its allies should not cede any ground to russia. this is something that white house officials have been working on behind the scenes with congressional staff and members of congress as they repeatedly tried to make the point that this was an urgent need for ukraine. it was also a recurring theme and topic of

discussion between the president and world leaders as he tried to provide and project confidence to world leaders at the us would stand by ukraine, of course, a difficult argument to make over the course of the last few months when this aid was continually stalled in congress. and we have gotten more warnings over time. the president in an op-ed earlier in the week saying it was quote, a pivotal moment and cia director burns saying, on thursday that ukraine could lose the war by the end of the year if it didn't get the funds. so clearly, you can see the urgency sort of ramping up over the last several months as this aid wasn't getting through. so this moment right now is a very significant one for the white house. it's one they had been waiting for for months. you hear it here in the statement by the president so now that he is wealth welcoming this news and the white house press secretary was asked yesterday, how quickly they could get equipment to ukraine once this goes to the process, the white house press secretary

said it would be quick and immediate and swift. >> okay. priscilla alvarez. thank you so much. of course. we've heard some response coming from the house speaker there and georgia rep. marjorie taylor taylor greene, a real contrast within the republican party. join me right now, congresswoman jasmine crockett, she is a democrat from texas congresswoman. great to see you. >> okay. we heard real contrasting views on how to see the passage of these for foreign aid bills today from the house speaker as it pertains to ukraine, he says provides for greater accountability, better outcome of the war, and there's that loan aspect contrasting that with marjorie taylor greene who says this is a sellout of america. where do you stand on this well, let's take issue with things that both of them said, i do want to applaud the speaker for finally waking up and deciding that he wanted to stand on the sayyed of governance instead of obstruction. >> and he said that this aid is timely. it is not timely by any stretch of the imagination.

this is one of those themes that he finally had to settle in realize that there's actually more support for ukraine than he thought he could have actually passed every single piece of legislation on a suspension. he didn't even have to go through rules. that's how much bipartisan support existed. now, honestly, we know that the democrats per the usual, are the ones that held it down. but marjorie taylor greene saying that we need to fund the border, will she needs to go? we'll talk to her master, aka donald trump, who specifically said, do not go through with the border bill. and that's the only reason they don't have anything. so if she has a problem, she needs to go talk to donald instead of blaming her speaker. and also, she's talking really big talk about how she believes in governance. and so that's what she wants to be responsible because she cares about the institution. she didn't care about the institution on january 6 or even after january 6, as she continues to support those that we're trying to tear us down.

so i don't really have much patients for marjorie taylor greene, who was done everything that is the opposite of anything that will keep this country on track. i really hope that her district is paying attention and they decided to pick someone else. >> i wonder if today's of vote, vote to also underscore, perhaps does this cement a commitment to the house speaker as well? mike johnson, who even though we heard from marjorie taylor greene that right now she's not going to initiate this motion to vacate, but it could be coming. does today's support of these foreign aid packages? is that also a parallel support for the house speaker? >> i don't think so listen, i don't know that we give you a pat on the back because you do the job that you were elected to do governing is what we are supposed to do, keeping america safe as what we're supposed to do. honoring our obligations to our friends and allies. that is

what we're supposed to do. >> i will tell you this. >> the difference between mike johnson and mccarthy is that mike johnson believes and and he understands when he needs to go and talk to hakeem jeffries. so ultimately, what i imagined will happen is if the speaker feels like he is actually facing any eviction i think you'll go and talk to leader jeffries and they will decide whether or not leader jeffries can offer him some support all right. >> we'll leave it there are congresswoman jasmine crockett glad you could be with us. thank you so much have a good one. all right. so among the packages approved today, $26 for israel, i want to bring in nic robertson, who is there in jerusalem. and so nick was this the expectation their& now that has been passed what's the expectation on when some of this the funding or weaponry we'll make it there to israel yeah, i think the expectation

was that it would pass eventually, but of course it's important. >> i mean, imagined a week ago this night, iran sent more than 350 missiles here. israel fired back in the week it seems to be that part of the conflict seem to be over. but imagine a scenario where actually the escalation that happened, israel would have 100% needed every piece of that aid support coming in terms of military packages of ammunition, of weapons, of high-tech equipment all of that, it would have needed i think we've got a sense of that this evening from the foreign minister of israel, israel katz tweeting very quickly on social media platform x, i'm tweeting very quickly after that vote saying thank you to speaker johnson. thank you to minority leader hakeem jeffries for this bipartisan support, this bipartisan support he says, shows a strong ties and strategic partnership between

the united states and israel. is it a very strong and substantial position? >> so this really you can tell the fact that the foreign minister put that out on social media so quickly, show is that obviously the government here has been watching it. >> they expected it to happen, but this is, this is an important moment or a step along the way an important moment for them and they point to that bipartisan support strengthening ties, strategic partnership between the two countries. >> all right. nic robertson juror is thank you so much. all right. there's been a very busy day and $95 billion in foreign aid, all approved by the us house of representatives today in a rare day of activity on saturday of the measures now make their way to the us senate will have much more coverage after this there's new ally in the fight against climate change. this is bukhara

dethrone in the house speaker. mike johnson, our manu raju, caught up with one representative, one of three who is on board with voting to remove him. thomas massie of kentucky. this is what he had to say obviously, you're very disappointed about this result. >> why are you well, yeah, is not moving forward on the motion to vacate. >> you made good points wouldn't this be the time to do it? >> we want him to resign into announce his resignation so that we don't go speaker less for a period of time the honorable way for him to leave right now announce his resignation in ahead of time and give us time to replace him. >> who prefer not to go into that loop like we had last fall. why he's not he's not he's not going to resign so then you're going to do right. >> so he he will say what john baker said until the very day. he said i resigned. >> he will say, i'm staying

here and there's nothing you can do. >> and john boehner said that the day before we had the popes speak and the floor, then each team to hci five the next day and said, i resigned percent respectively. why does he want me to listen to keep republicans are calling on well, i mean, right now, three is the magic number. >> if he called the motion to vacate, he's going to lose absent democrats saving him like they did today. but if they do that, he's really become tainted at that point. why is why is he tainted if democrats killed us on the first procedural vote because i don't think it's ever been done that democrats would save him. the question would then be the same question we have today, which is what did he trade we weren't in those negotiations that went on for hours while the rules committee was in recess day before yesterday what was he? the trading with the democrats in exchange to maintain power long enough to pass his foreign aid

bill we don't know their and we won't know if he crosses down to get democrats i mean, by the way, this is something that kevin mccarthy could have done but did not do. he didn't cross the aisle, cut deals, so get the fiscal responsibility act. you just want me to remain speaker. he did not which was your question. i think he didn't cross the island, try to get democrats to save him congressman you commit to bringing a motion to vacate on the floor if speaker johnson it doesn't resign i i'm pretty sure one will come to the floor. if he doesn't resign at some point, what does it have you missed your moment? >> this was one of the big last moments here before we get into the fall on deaf legislating, right? and then now you're going into recess and the anger may subside among some things. maybe not you, but sometimes you miss your moment let me say what i think you're thinking so he be us three times. he had three big things he handed dude

to be tray us and american people. number one, he had to spend more than nancy pelosi on an omnibus and shove that through? about 72 hours. that was the first refraction, 2nd infraction was reauthorizing fisa with no warrant and he he worked hard to make sure americans don't get a warrant if they're being spied on. that was the 2nd the trial. to your point today, the pressure cooker is fit at a very high local maximum. because he has taken away every bit of leverage we had to do something on the border by sending $100 billion overseas. >> so your question is, what's left? >> he's already screwed you and there's nothing to screw you on. >> again. well, he's going to cause us to lose the majority at this point. he's completely de-motivated our base. these disappointed us in the conference and everybody out in america will acknowledge this, but they won't acknowledge it here in dc yet. >> he can't be speaker again.

like you can talk about with the democrat saving from a motion to vacate all that sort of stuff? do we want to go through trying to replace him those are questions that are up in the air, but one that is without doubt is he can't win on january 3, 2025 and i don't like that. it's this way with the speaker of the house is the fundraiser in chief for the majority party in tasked with keeping and growing the majority by raising money. he is not able to raise money because he is the lame duck. we need to have somebody in that position that can raise the money and grow our majority instead of losing it. he's not that guy. and that's why even though he's betrayed his three times and we can't see anything that's immediately on the horizon that would cause us to be upset. that's the big issue. now all right. >> kentucky republican thomas massie. there are manu raju caught up with him. there are three republicans who have been very clear that while they're not going to move to vote, vacate house speaker mike

johnson. they don't want them there any longer. you also caught up with georgia republican representative and marjorie taylor greene, who underscored the same kind of messaging. so while they're not going to move to vacate now, they're hoping either he will resign on his own or they might revisit it in some other fashion later this after a day of passages of four foreign aid bills yeah this is significant moment for the republican party, for the wars abroad as the american allies who have been clamoring for that, as well as for the institution of the house which has descended into absolute chaos in the aftermath of the ouster of kevin mccarthy. >> this is the republican party so still bitterly divided over how to proceed that a lead their lip. what america's places in the world, how to spend us taxpayer dollars. their agenda as they head into the majority of this infighting has played out. and because of

the narrowness of mike johnson's majority is why his speakership continues to be at risk, but clearly it is he is not gonna be at risk, at least in the short term because as what we heard from marjorie taylor greene, she's now going to move forward today. she said she is going to wait until there's backlash in the district is voters are outraged at the republicans who did vote to move forward on ukraine. and we'll see what that, that happens. i talked to a number of swing-district republicans who are, who are proud of their vote, who say they're proud of my jars were standing up to the right of the far-right elements. >> other conference, then you hear thomas massie. >> i tried to get that question as you heard there at the end about, look, this is a point where the tensions are really at a peak because after this house, the house goes on recess, people go back. there are with their families or their districts. they come back and they're really it is not any major, major issue that is going to divide the gop really until the fall when they had to keep the government open paths that september 30 deadline. so we have a significant amount of time before then. so what is the point that what point are

they going to go move, move forward if they're not going to move forward today, and that's something that they are struggling with. at this moment, the calculation has to be one. do they have the votes they seem to think they do, but democrats likely would come to save him, although they have now said so officially. and two, they don't they don't really know what the game plan is. if they were to somehow succeed, if they become the dog will catch the car, caught the car. what happens if gel-like johnson? this is vacated. who is the successor? do they did throw this institution yet again into a state of paralysis because this house cannot do anything until a speaker is elected. as we saw last fall. so all those things are part of the discussion. marjorie taylor greene continued to say she's being responsible in this because he's trying to argue that she's not doing what matt gaetz did in the fall which was call for the vote, led to the outro. kevin mccarthy and then republicans had no idea what to do ultimately leading to the election of mike johnson. but mike johnson making the calculation that and deciding it is time to take on those

right far-right elements in his conference, take them on work with democrats and deal with the aftermath at the moment. he's in his speaker's chair because democrats very well could come to his defense. >> i said, well, it sounds like yeah, it sounds like an issue of also buying time. manu because when you spoke with congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, i mean, she really put it on, you know what? i'm not going to make that decision right now. i'm going to let my colleagues you know, go home and hear from their constituents. i mean, buying, time measure. maybe the constituents really will give some of these members of congress and earful about their point of view on the house speaker is this really an issue of well, maybe we don't have the consensus right now and we're looking for another way, another avenue in which two potentially make the motion to vacate or let it go yeah. >> look, i mean, they don't have the big problem is that there's no consensus candidate. i mean, yes, if he

were to resign, then what we saw, what happened in the fall, there is absolutely no consensus candidate, and that's there's a problem. so two things can be true. one, there's nobody to replace mike johnson, perhaps he survives as motion to vacate vote, but he is badly damaged. there's no doubt about it by the deals that he had to cut in this by narrowly divided house and not having much leverage with the democrats in the senate. it himself evolving on some of these key issues. the question will be as thomas massie said, other critics are saying, can you be speaker again if the ghraieb keep the majority and come up, comes up again in january of next year, we'll have the votes and i tell you i've talked to a lot of republicans. they do not believe that my jobs will be able to sustain this. yes, maybe you can survive to the end of this congress. but next congress, that is a different situation. especially if democrats are forced to come to his defense would be seen as something that would essentially weakened him even further. and the eyes of a lot of his colleagues. so that is key. one of the point is that thomas massie made the argument to me here that this will demotivate our base. he says he

said all this will make our base not want to come out to the fault and help us push the finish line. i put that question to the member, the leader of the house republican campaign on richard hudson, a congressman from north carolina. if he's concerned, it'll cost in the majority, he said absolutely not. i said they're more concerned about other issues grocery prices and the like, not republican infightingso calculation since here as republican leadership rate of paul ahead and hope that voters don't care ahame the fall, right? >> massey and green also saying was an issue of fund raising. so again, you know, it's it's contentious. all right. manu raju. thank you so much and thanks for hanging with. and of course, you know how speaker they're saying, you know, he's not worried about a motion to vacate at all. >> we'll see what the next chapter is. all right. >> thanks, everyone. and thanks manu, because, you know, you're a busy man on the hill. all de, with us today. and then back on the desk tomorrow. don't forget to watch manu raju tomorrow morning on inside

anybody who's in the ukrainian military problems, the whole country was born. it was on edge watching this boat go down in the house of representatives and the president of the country, volodymyr zelenskyy. he came out in a matter of seconds with his first tweet thanking the united states, i want to read you part of it because i think it is quite significant and just shows how big a deal this is for the ukrainians. he writes, democracy and freedom will always have global global significance and will never fail as long as america helps to protect it. the vital us, a bill passed today by the house will keep the war from expanding safe thousands and thousands dozens of lives, and will help our nations to become stronger. so you can see just how important this bill was for the ukrainians. of course, some of the things that they've been saying is that they are running extremely low on ammunition and also on missiles for air defense. in fact, we've also already been in touch with a soldier who's fighting on the front line here in ukraine in the southern direction towards that region. he told us that they badly need air defense missiles to keep the city safe.

so the soldiers know that their families are safe, but also they say that the issues they've been having with ammunition and i've covered this for months here in this country as the ammunition stocks of the ukrainians have been dwindling, that has now really reach critical levels. so they say they badly need artillery munition. of course we know that a lot of the us aid, these staged in european countries. and so it could get here very quickly once that bill is approved by the senate and then passes the president's desk, definitely something that the ukrainians are looking for very quickly. it also i have something just to couple of seconds ago for you, fredreka, because the foreign minister of this country, dmytro kuleba, he had a comment specifically for us. this is him to cnn saying that this is a historic de would not only ukraine got a boost of hope, but also the united states and all the free world in the end defeating putins, ukraine is about averting developments that will shatter the security and prosperity of the united states and every americans, obviously the ukrainians trying to say that the aid for them, will also benefit the united states

former aid to general david petraeus senior fellow emotional at the merch sean center for international security studies kernel great to see you all. >> thanks for having me on. >> all right, so well, the first rounds of this 23 billion to replenish us arms, ukraine be enough for them for this year at my, they will need continual infusions of aid and weapons to fight russia over the long term until this war reaches some sort of negotiated conclusion. but it is a welcome relief for them as they were running out of artillery ammunition air defense missiles and if we had not passed this aid, very likely russia would have ended the war this summer and this 60 billion aid package for ukraine also means a lot of the money was going to go toward the us weapons replenishment. how quickly? something like that get

underway well, i'm sure the administration has been leaning forward with all of this particular is to use this money to replenish us stockpiles. >> they are i'm sure there are stockpiles in europe that are ready to go forward into ukraine. so as soon as the senate passes the bill and the president signs it i foresee very quick action at all levels on this package. >> and kernel, ukraine has been losing territory to russia along the frontlines, especially in the east is it your view that russia is gaining the upper hand well, they were ukraine lack the artillery ammunition to stop these russian advances 90% plus of casualties in this war due to artillery fire. >> and we, you lack the ship tells to fire at the russian troops, then they're going to advance and drones are not a substitute for the massive

artillery fire that both sides have been using. so yeah, it was a nicea situation and will be until they can get an infusion of artillery ammunition, air defense missiles to turn the, turn the tide and in your view, what's the message at this is sending globally the passage of these aid bills aid that will go to ukraine, to israel, to the indo-pacific. >> and of course to national security as well. >> well you know i, think what the message it sends is the democratic world really can't defend itself without the united states being involved. there simply isn't the money or the willpower. the political leadership in europe are various asian states to do it without united states help and this was a package that was delayed and its passage but then once again puts the united states in the forefront of leading the free world, the

democratic world in in opposing those forces that would take over other countries by force and wants to dominate the world. >> all right, $95 and all on its way now to the us senate, a colonel peter menchu are thanks so much. >> thank you. >> wael, the right back every piece of evidence tells a story how it really happened with jesse l. martin sunday, april 28 at nine on cnn, you know, i spent a lot of time thinking about dirt at three in the morning and he time what people don't know. is that not all dirt is the same. you need dirt with the right kind of nutrients. >> look at this new organic soil from miracle grow everybody should have it, it worked great for us. >> this is as good as gold and any garden. if people only knew that it really is about the
