Critical legislation on the floor in favor of the american people, and in favor of america s role in the world. neil: so, he s saying you re part after clown show. i wanted to give you the opportunity to respond. well, i like mike lawler, he s trying to get me kicked off the rules committee. i asked him to try harder because i ve tried every day to get kicked off the rules committee. one thing we need to remind mike lawler, he led the effort to get rid of george santos. and i think that was a very unwise move and shrunk our majority and we saw that seat replaced by a democrat. i don t think he s got the best take of what we need to be doing in congress to keep a majority. neil: there s a difference between george santos and mike johnson, whatever your differences? the thing is george santos wasn t convicted of anything, we threw him out. i d rather have a republican with a cloud over than a ....
Lives as they normally would. neil. neil: jeff paul, thank you for that, be safe. let s bring in chad pergum and how is that going? they re on the ukraine bill and the house is debating bills for israel, ukraine and taiwan, but it took the democrats to put it on the floor. the republicans stumbled despite being in the majority so democrats bailed them out. generally in this body it takes the majority party to pass its rule and the minority party never votes for it, but this moment is no big that house democrats said, we re not playing politics with this. democrats helped the g.o.p. put the foreign aid plan on the floor yesterday, but some on the left opposed the plan for ....
Warrants for spying on americans, and he put his thumb on the scale on that. today we re going to see the third betrayal, s going to give up all of our leverage to get any security at the border because he s going to shove schumer s bill through the house. neil: would it be any different if he went? you only have such a republican majority, three, four, five seatsment that won t change. the reality of that math won t be altered. we re worried about 2025, 0 we want to keep the majority. here is the problem. mike johnson is giving americans no reason to put republicans back in the maj majority. he s the uni-party majority. people know he s a lame duck, he ll lose his seat sometime this year. even if you were going to change the rules and hang onto power and form a coalition with democrats, he can t win speakership next year and frankly shall the donors aren t inspired to talk to a speaker ....
Negotiator or you want what chuck schumer wants. in either case, mike johnson needs to go. neil: maybe you recognize the mathematical reality there s only so much you can demand when you don t have much backing, right? right, you need to demand something. he s demanded nothing. neil: all right, not a fan. well, i spoke to new york republican colleague of yours mike lawler on the show and this is the congressman earlier on, he s not a fan. this is a continuation of the crown show. now, when you look at the challenges facing our country, voters elected a house republican majority to govern, to serve as a check and balance on the biden administration. what is happening within our conference is undermining our ability to govern and hold this administration accountable. speaker johnson, like speaker mccarthy before him, is doing the right thing by putting ....
Democrat in that seat because it, frankly, the majority relies on it and mike lawler got rid of george santos. mike johnson was part mike johnson did nothing to stop that effort and i think that s another reason that mike johnson needs to go. neil: when you told him to his face this, to your credit you didn t do something behind someone s back. to his face, i think you should go. how did that go? when i told him to his face, this was in front of our conference in a private meeting and i d same the same thing more or less to mike johnson two weeks earlier. of course it didn t go well, he didn t think he should resign, he says he s not going to. that s what john boehner said up until the day he resigned and i d like to see mike johnson do the honorable thing like john boehner did and not put us in the lurch. mike johnson is the only one ....
