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

that donald trump, mike johnson, none of them will be blamed. that's why we have seen today just three great examples of just chaos. the trump trial, this drama with the speaker and the mayorkas trial or lack of impeachment trial that we had over there in the senate. i mean, all of those stories are linked by one thing, republican belief in chaos as a governing philosophy. >> yeah. i would push you a little on that. i think it sounds right that they think if you can blame the other side, that helps, but mcconnell and others have said, you know, you go too far like that, like a shutdown, usually it's not the democratic white house that is blamed. mcconnell himself said that recently. >> right. >> just to pick an analogy where government fails. here is republican representative armstrong today. take a listen. >> by throwing ourselves into chaos without having any kind of real succession plan. i mean, just to be honest, i don't know who would want the job if this succeeds at this point. >> so that's kind of talking about the idea that the most powe

that's probably not an optimum situation for mike johnson. the one curious thing against the backdrop, even though johnson laid out a plan to break the supplemental package up, he hasn't released the text of that plan yet. that raises questions as if he's trying to put some conserve ty sweeteners in it to hold off that hard right flank. that likely won't be enough. we're running out of time here, especially if the house members are going to get 72 hours to review this legislation. that bill text needs to come out sooner rather than later. >> congressman dent, your party is eating its own. we were in the same situation with kevin mccarthy less than six months ago. what do you make of it? >> well, it's pretty clear to me that taylor-greene and tom massie are pretty much on their own. pass it as is, it goes to the president and then democrats will rescue him. if he makes any significant changes to this bill and sends it over to the senate, you know, the israel piece may not pass, and they could end up passing the ukraine bill, something that man
