Right . Hello again, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me. Lots of breaking news today. Im Fredricka Whitfield and we continue to follow all of this on capitol hill. Members of the House Of Representatives just pass a series of foreign aid bills providing a total of 95 billion in dollars in assistance for ukraine, israel, and taiwan. It all unfolded in a rare high stakes saturday vote in congress, gop, House Speaker mike johnson was able to advance the bipartisan bills through congress. This week with the help of democrats. Its a move that could cost him his job as some hardliners in his party have threatened to introduce a measure to remove him from his post. We have teamed coverage of todays major development, Priscilla Alvarez, i will have reaction from the white house, but lets get started on capitol hill with cnns lauren fox, lauren, i mean, the votes there now official and how are people reacting overall on the hill yeah. I mean, this was such a Long Time Coming for montse administration has been imploring lawmakers on capitol hill to take action. The senate took action months ago, and it was really unclear if the house specifically Speaker Mike Johnson was ever going to bring this package to the floor when he finally unveiled the package earlier this week, it looked so similar to what already had passed. United states senate. The biggest difference here of course, is the fact that it was really split into three separate parts. Its those bills will now be bundled together, sent to the United States senate. We expect that that process will get underway next week, but its also just important to point out here there are so many lawmakers who were watching the newly minted speaker wondering what he would ultimately do. Knowing that his job was potentially on the line if he took out action and many of them applauding the speaker today, heres the House Foreign Affairs chairman Michael Mccaul theres a learning curve, both in the Intelligence Community that we welcome to to learn about this issue on a National Level but also i think he felt the weight of the world on his shoulders and it really was falling on him and if i was with him the night before he made the decision of course, others wanted to go forward with another bill have gone anywhere. But time was of the essence and you have to have a day. Im very proud of him because he did the right thing. And its not just my call. I talked to one democrat, mike quigley, who when i asked him, does he have a different view of the speaker today than he did two weeks ago. He kinda paused for a minute and he said, i guess i do i think there were a lot of members who wondered if this day was going to come, if Speaker Johnson was going to feel compelled to put this package on the floor, he now did. Hes also speaking out im saying that hes supportive of what has happened on the floor. He feels proud of this moment and he hopes that the senate moves expeditiously. Frederick gotten all right. Lauren fox. Thank you so much. Lets go to Priscilla Alvarez now for sila, this is a significant when for president biden, who has been pushing for this kind of aid for months now what are they say . Thats right and they are applauding that today the president putting out a statement in which he said, quote today, members of both parties in the house voted to advance our National Security interests and send a clear message about the power of American Leadership on the world stage. At this in critical inflection point, they came together to answer historys call i think urgently needed National Security legislation that i have fought for months to secure goes on to say, i urge the senate to quickly send this package to my desk so that i can sign it into law and we can quickly send weapons and equipment to ukraine to meet their urgent battlefield needs. Of course, to remind viewers, the president asked for additional funds for Ukraine Ukraine back in october, he also addressed the nation during that time, noting that this isnt just about helping an ally abroad, but that it was, it was important for National Security interests of the United States. And that has really been the argument over the last several months. And it was urgent and necessary to get these funds to ukraine. So as not to cede any ground to russia russia, and most recently, us officials were making the correlation between losses on the battlefield in ukraine and not sending the funding over to ukraine, essentially putting it at the feet of republicans in congress to get this path. So this is clearly a win for the white house, which has been seeking out these funds for months. Now oh, and of course, this was a recurring topic of discussion that the president , had with World Leaders as he sought to reaffirm us leadership on the world stage, something that he mentioned in his statement this afternoon, and also try to give assurances to ukraine that the us would come through. Now, white house officials have been working king with members of congress and Congressional Staff over the last several months on this, they were also in touch with them today on saturday. And of course, the next step of this is for it to go to the senate. And as you heard there from the president , he wants this to go quickly so it can get to his desk and they can get those munitions to ukraine as quickly as possible. All right. Well leave it there for now. Priscilla alvarez, lauren fox so much. All right. Lets talk more broadly about all of this. Todays developments with us now, geoff duncan, he is they cnn political commentator and a former republican Lieutenant Governor of georgia, are at great to see you. So your reaction to todays passage of these four, four and measures and many of which that meant and about face on support within the gop. Well, good for mike johnson for being courageous enough to do the obvious right thing. I think if we broke this issue down across america onebyone, i think an overwhelming majority of americans would support ukraine, support israel, and support the additional Funding Measures that were in place today. But when its complicated and thrown into this chaos, like Marjorie Taylor greene and others tried to continue to do to get this Republican Party back out of the ditch. Were going to have to have more courageous people like mike johnson and others are willing to step up and think further than just a social media post pope, five minutes after a vote. Or theyre gonna have to think even further than a twoyear Election Cycle to get not only the Republican Party back out of the ditch, but to get our country back on track. So more more was said today about any potential motion to vacate in terms of those who are willing to speak on capitol hill, t. J. The Speaker Johnson says, i dont dont worry about the motion to vacate it. All whereas with georgia, republican Marjorie Taylor greene, she said, while she is not going to do it right now, and what it would take us three and two out of three spoke today in terms of their disappointment of the House Speaker, she said shes going to leave it up to her colleagues. Leave it up to my colleagues to hear from their constituents. And this is Something Else that she said it earlier today. Take a listen we saw what happened with this vote. We saw your amendment code down, we saw your all your frustration mike johnson, so is today the day youre going to call for the vote seeking his ouster im actually going to let my colleagues go home and hear from their constituents because i think people have been to obsess with voting for foreign wars and the Murder Industry here in america, it actually understand how angry americans are when you have the strongest loudest its voices. And republican, and the Republican Movement and grassroots furious calling for mike johnson to be vacated. The people here my colleagues have not heard the message, so im looking forward for them to go home on hearing hearing from the folks back at home a kentucky republican, thomas massie, also expressed his disappointment in how Speaker Johnson, what do you think is demise is at this point . Well, Marjorie Taylor greenes comments, there are coded language four. I got whipped and i know im beat, right . Shes not going to make the motion to vacate because i dont think the American People are going to stand behind that at this period of time. I dont think republican districts are going to stand behind that at this point. These, these issues are coming at us so fast and furious, furious from Around The World that we need real problemsolvers to stand up and stricter. Stick their chin up and be ready to walk through. Marjorie Taylor Greene is part of the ponzi scheme called donald trump. Its this, its this fear mongering. Its this hot air that just doesnt really solve any problems. And i think america starting to see through it, theyre starting to watch people like that as ineffective operators i mean the the house went through just a tumultuous process by unseating kevin mccarthy. And i certainly was not a fan of kevin mccarthys, but the process involved to dethrone him of being the speaker was a ridiculous, embarrassing moment that quite honestly not only made us weak in this country, but it made us weak Around The World watching, watching that play out so its really interesting now because weve got this juxtaposition at the center of it all is the power that trump has over the Republican Party and while its Marjorie Taylor greene, and even how Speaker Johnson who went to visit the former president recently while that is conveying, he still has a lot of power now hes in Criminal Court were going to hear opening arguments on monday. You hear him at his rallies. You say continues to say, you know, there are two forms of justice here. And hes the victim how do you see his influence of the party . All predicated on the outcome of this trial yeah. So what were watching play out here is votes like today, its just a telltale sign of where this is headed for donald trump. Hes losing control because losing power. I think most legal experts will say that this current trial that hes sitting in his probably the legalists legally week trial of all four, but its still an important position because were watching the suburbs are going to listen to these just horrible details rollout of him having inappropriate relationships with porn stars and whatnot in regardless what the outcome is, that is a creates the math problem for donald trump. He cannot win the suburbs. And i think people are realizing that elected officials are realizing that i just wish there was more courageous people people like mike johnson that did stuff like this more often and didnt try to talk out of both sides of the mouth. I wish we saw republican governors standing up and saying not no way am i going to put my brand on donald . Trump if we think further than just november, which is going to take further than november to fix this Republican Party to get us back on track. We would all stand up against donald trump. I think history is going to reward those who were all in against donald trump and his ridiculous natures, i said a minute ago, this is a ponzi scheme failing. Its falling apart, its financially falling apart. Messaging is falling apart donald trump looks week. When you watch him come out and act like a twoyearold child, pre and post trial in his statements, he just is weak de a loosening of the grip that he has on the party absolutely. And i think i think that full room of republicans that voted in favor of the funding bill today they want an excuse to move away from donald trump. They want some air cover. I hear from folks in the legislature here in georgia here from it, from folks in congress. These are, these are good wholesome folks that want a reason to be able to move past donald trump will never recovers Republican Party until that happens, but Donald Trumps not going to win in November Joe Biden is going to win as short, short of some Unforeseen Health event, donald trump gets beat because he still has a math problem in the suburbs. Theres nobody thats going to change their mind on donald trump, especially suburban women that all of a sudden theyre gonna see, you know what donald trump, maybe its not that bad of a guy after hearing all these grizzly details of what he was doing when melannie was just two months post postbirth with one of their children. I mean, its just hard to get your hands around all right. Geoff duncan. Good to see you. Thanks so much. All right.
