That well, im just asked from your own opinion and own perspective youre trying to put them in a box and put them in a corner. Members members are tired. Were exhausted. It has been a brutal congress, but were also dug in. And for some reason, these fringe people think as if they have the high ground they, do not . I assure you the Rank And File members that normally are kind of easy going doing the right thing, put their head down, they vote yes or no, but theyre not public about it. Those days are over. The fight is here and this whole pushing someones going to put pokey in the chess, the way your way you take care of a bully as you bloody their nose thats where were at . Were at a point where were just trying to govern and thats what Mike Johnson has done. Govern in an honorable way. You do not leave your allies on the battlefield to bleed out. I know that because i served 20 years in the military and five years in iraq and afghanistan, the politics is pretty thick right
I think you should absolutely get credit for taking a bold position here. I think he probably i decided, you know what this Job Isnt worth having if im not actually doing something. And so i think it was impressive and i think the way he laid out a Valuesdriven Argument for the aid money, particularly to ukraine, was very impressive and he clearly luck to the hard right of his party im maybe a little less bullish on the idea that this represents a Sea Change and how republicans are going to operate on the hill. I think weve seen time and again that if it requires this level of political courage to get even the most basic, ultimately bipartisan legislation done. That isnt bode well for the way republicans are going to operate moving forward, its requiring people to take this kind of profile encouraged moment is generally not the way you get things done, but i would absolutely say Mike Johnson deserves credit for for standing up. And if there is a vote should democrats back in . I think
ukraine, and taiwan. the bill is passed. now can speaker mike johnson keep his job? our panel? experts are here to discuss hello, i m dan innovation washington, where the state of our union is in session. we begin this week with donald trump adjusting to an unprecedented challenge tomorrow, lawyers in the first criminal case against a former president are expected to give opening statements new york arguing over the charges that trump falsified business records to cover up hush money payments to an adult film actress, just before the 2016 election, trump denies the charges he finds himself in the extraordinary position of spending four days a week in court instead of on the campaign trail being criticized sized on the stand without being able to interrupt while his opponent, president biden visits key swing states last
brutal congress, but we re also dug in for some reason, these fringe people think as if they have the high ground they do not. i assure you the rank and file members that normally are kind of easy going doing the right thing, put their head down, they vote yes or no, but they re not public about it. those days are over. the fight is here and this whole pushing someone s going to put you in the chess, the way your way you take care of a boolean. bloody their nose and that s where we re at. we re at a point where we re just trying to govern and that s what mike johnson has done govern in an honorable way. you do not leave your allies on the battlefield to bleed out. i know that because i serve 20 years in the military and five years in iraq and afghanistan, the politics is pretty thick, right now, but we have to stand up now more than ever. i think we re seeing republicans go. we want to govern that s a big deal thank you for standing that. thank you for your service and that s one thing
to remember when republicans had what they called the hazard rule right? but you needed to have the majority of the majority in order to pass any bill. now it seems that if you want to govern in the country, you have to find a way to work with democrats. if you re a republican party because there aren t enough republicans who are willing to do the right thing on these big bills. in part, but i would just say in part because donald trump is the republican nominee. right. and so you have a hard right of the party. well, no, not taking their kids from that dynamic mike johnson so what to see donald trump. what did donald trump s say about ukraine? their survival is important. the united states he did not come out against mike johnson s plan. mean i think that people were against congressman johnson were sorely disappointed. i mean, i think donald trump wants to get to a place where he s president again, so he can convert a solvent, can bring you in on that because i i ve never i ve ne
