Step counter those sport matt and wireless remote call good morning. Good morning. Welcome to cnn this morning, its saturday, april 20. Im victims walker. Heres what were working on for you this morning congress is in session for a working weekend because see a final vote on a 95 foreign aid package for ukraine and israel as early as this afternoon. A much different vote though could cost. Mike johnson, the speakers gavel, Marjorie Taylor greene says theres a civil war in the House Of Representatives. And as another lawmaker joining her motion to vacate, were going indepth ahead annually, a half a dozen blasts, rock a Military Base belonging to an iranbacked militia in iraq at a time of high tensions across the mideast. What we know about it coming up and former President Donald Trump hits the Campaign Trail today, just two days hes before Opening Statements begin. In an historic Hush Money Trial in new york, the judges stern warning to trumps legal team, thats coming so in just about three hours, the House Of Representatives will gavel into whats shaping up to be a grueling weekend session three foreign aid bills for israel. Ukraine, and the indopacific region are up for debate. Plus a fourth bill with offerings to placate house republicans, like sanctions for russia, iran, china, and potential nationwide tiktok ban. At the very least, those aid bills are worth about 95 billion. Total expected to pass. The rule for the foreign aid bills passed with more democrats and supportive it, then republicans, yeah, Speaker Mike Johnson worked across the aisle to get those bills passed, but that bipartisan effort could cost him the gavel. Hes only been speaker now for six months, just yesterday, representative paul gosar of arizona became the third Republican Harlow Liner to join the effort to oust johnson and joining representatives Marjorie Taylor greene and thomas massie. Now, greene is leading the effort, but hasnt enforced floor vote on the resolution just yet, the earliest we could see that happened is today joining us now is punchbowl news congressional reporter max cohen up bright and early for us, max get to see this morning. Lets start with a votes on the house floor today, Speaker Johnsons plan is to put those four votes on the floor this afternoon. So you have each aid bill, one for ukraine, as we said, israel, taiwan, and the other with sanctions for russia, iran, and china, theyll all be voted on separately why the strategy now several months in and of course, what are we expecting . Yeah, i think well see all four of those bills. You just disgusted past with pretty broad bipartisan support. And thats a really big change here from my johnson for months. Good resisted putting these aid bills on the floor. But in a real change of direction earlier this week, he said, look if its worth my job being lost . If its worth being ousted, just like chem a carthy, then im going to do it because he believes thats in the National Security imperative for the United States of america he mentioned is sun is going to be going to the Naval Academy in the fall. And he said hed rather send bullets to ukraine, then put his own son and other americans in harms way if russia continues to march across europe. And this are the major turnaround for someone who voted against ukraine aid before he was speaker . Yeah. Yeah, he said that hes going to do the right thing and let the chips fall where they may right . So as you said, Speaker Johnson fighting for his political survival after weve got more democrats to vote for the rule that publications on friday which advance that 95,000,000 bill, he will need them again today, right. As you were saying, its called by partisan ship. And of course we are continuing to hear some and the right flank weve mentioned those three calling for his ouster, but theyre also divided on that. Listen to be asking the most concerning question, what has mike johnson made a deal to do . What has he promised he will give them in the future. And this is why we have to remove mike johnson from the speakership because he has made a deal. This was a terrible mistake however that doesnt mean that i support what i would consider to be not the most prudent action, right now, were six months before an election. Weve got a two or three vote margin. Theres a far greater degree of uncertainty in that situation. Then there was back in september so that was a House Freedom caucus chair, bob good. But clearly there isnt much of an appetite for another Speakership Fight and the chaos that came with it will there be a floor vote to oust johnson . What whats your take . I expect Marjorie Taylor greene will force a vote in the coming weeks. As you mentioned, it could be as soon as today, but i expect it probably will happen after the house returns from recess, perhaps in a week but at the end of the day, democrats have indicated to me that they will vote to save mike johnson in this event, if a vote comes up because they think he would have done the right thing on foreign aid. But taking a step back, i think the real issue is my johnson simply cant continue is the leader of the house gop after november, i think no one wants again amount now and Republican Party except for maybe a dozen or so. But its not tenable for him to remain in power past november if democrats, the ones who are profit above de, that there were concessions made. Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries didnt answer directly when he was asked of House Democrats got any concessions from republicans after they helped advance this bill. And we also heard there from Marjorie Taylor greene that there was some kind of deal believes and this is why this bill passed. What what are your thoughts yeah, as you mentioned, jeffries is pretty tight lip there, but i think the main concession was simply the fact that these four foreign aid bills are being voted on. This is what democrats have been demanding for months ever since the senate pass its own version of chemo, referees have been saying, bring the senate bill to the floor hello, mike johnson has done essentially is do exactly that. But three bills, you grade israel in the indopacific are almost identical to the senate bills. And the fourth, those you mentioned with tiktok bands and other sanctions. Thats not super partisan johnson didnt tie this to border funding. You didnt tie to other Poison Pill Piece of legislation. This is largely a democrat when in many ways, which is now correct myself and the bills havent passed it. I was talking about the role that procedural motion to advance the bill next, cohen. Good to see you. Thank you. Lets go now to cnn, White House Reporter camila to she is traveling with the president in wilmington, delaware could be a look. Good morning to you. So as max mentioned, passing these bills would be a big win for democrats. Of course, a big win for the administration whats the white house saying this morning well, the white house has that President Biden will immediately sign these bills if they are passed and signed them into law. Luck, this is a big win for the Biden Administration if these bills are passed the white house has been demanding for months for congress and lawmakers to quickly act like act and pass these, these bills put provide additional assistance to countries like ukraine and israel. Theyve also pointed to the fact that ukraines military has almost weekend and lost a lot of ground to their fight against russia they cited that its because they have just lacked monday and they need more Additional Support from the us. So this is a really big deal. And also with these bills included in there, it would provide about 9. 2 billion in humanitarian aid and assistance is a big thing for biden as well. So if these bills are passed, biden has signaled he is quick to act and sign these bills into law back to you, amara victor . Yeah. So sorely needed that 9. 2 billion in humanitarian aid camila digitalis force in wilmington. Thank you. A jury is seated historic.

This incident follows israeli strikes at a Military Base in iran yesterday, rons president did not mention that strike while praising last weekends iranian strikes against israel the tension is between israel and iran is sparking fears of an expanding middle east conflict. Cnn is not bashir is following all of this for us. So where do things stand right now . Not in terms of the tensions and the fear of escalation well, if suddenly has been mounting concern over the potential for this to escalate more broadly in the region at this stage, it appears as though a broader regional war has been averted for now. Suddenly me assessment by one top us a, its saying that neither side wants to see this being taken further. Weve seen only Iranian Sayyed and effort to downplay israels attack on its for harm. Weve heard from iranian officials somewhat diminishing really the scale of the attack describing israel is using tiny drones at the impact physically was limited to just a few smashed windows. And as you mentioned, we heard yesterday from the iranian president Ebrahim Raisi speaking no mention of israels attack, although their continues to be a focus on irans retaliatory attack on israel following israels consular strike. And so clearly, there appears to be a consideration of the broader regional impact here. And of course, as we know, iran has recently reestablished ties with both the United Arab Emirates and saudi arabia. Both key ally to the United States in the region. We know that the us has been vocally pushing for neither side to take this further. Normally is really sayyed of course, this is also being taken as a wind domestically, just as it is in iran. Weve seen from these really sayyed, no clear acknowledgment of responsibility for the strike. But what this is really signaling on the israeli side is that theres clearly an intelligence advantage here. The targeting of s a heinous course, crucial and strategic. This is a province where we have a key Major Military airbase. We have a nucleus facility. This is an Industrial Hub known for Producing Missiles and drones. So clearly there is a strategic message being sent here when it comes to israels intelligence advantage. But of course there is a fear more broadly in the region that this could have provoked and triggered a broader escalation, particularly when it comes to irans proxies in the region. Weve of course seen this explosion now in iraq, fears there around the possible connections the us and israel both denying any sort of involvement are responsibility for that. And of course, at this current point in time, it appears as though both sides by iran and israel are taking this domestically as a windom but not willing to take this any further. Clearly, neither side wanting to be dragged into a broader regional confrontation, as has been the fear for so long now. But of course this is still a very precarious and tenuous time for the region. And there are still concerns weve been hearing from officials in the european union. And of course in the United States, calling for tensions to be diffused on all sides. All right. Nada bashir.
