as was demonstrated on the house floor today, the fact that it required democrats to get a rules bill -- the rule on this bill passed and to taking it to the next stage, that's a problem. it shows that the republican conference doesn't have thefull backing of their speaker. it would make him weaker. that doesn't mean it can't happen. it's the reality of the situation we need to recognize. regardless, the decision that the speaker has made to put his job on the line, to push through the foreign aid package is significant. it likely means that ukraine aid, at one point we thought was dead on arrarrival, has a possibility of passing. conservatives are unhappy. democrats are glad it's going to happen. i should point out, a majority of republicans are also happy it's going to happen. this is what happened during the rules committee meeting last night. >> americans are dying, not just ukrainians.
