for israel. another includes $8 billion in national security assistance for taiwan and the indo pacific region. the last bill involves an effort to ban tiktok in the united states within a year if the app does not divest from its china-based owner. the quartet of bills will automatically be packaged together and sent to the senate, which majority leader chuck schumer announced today will begin voting on tuesday to approve the measure. now, let's be clear that drama in the house is far from over. with a razor thin republican majority, speaker mike johnson was forced to rely on democratic votes to pass these aid bills, just as he has had to rely on democratic votes to do basic governing like keeping the government from shutting down last month. and, his majority just got even smaller with republican congressman mike gallagher set to retire after voting today.

compensating from democrats. >> do you think she is going to make that move because so far is she's saying, i'm going to send them home. i let a members of the conference go home and hear from the voters, who has a pretty good pulse on republican politics. and let republican voters won't. donald trump. what does he said? >> don't do that. yeah, he's doing a good job leading there. that is smart donald trump and the republican. >> he's gone that far. he said that ukrainian certainly mar-a-lago that sends a really strong signal about where he stands on mike johnson. john says, now you also did a news guy with with kevin mccarthy. >> where is he now? >> well, that's true. let's say, but here's the difference. i do think mike johnson will get them democrats support. he'll be able to weather mccarthy made it clear he didn't want any democratic votes and it kinda still does own fate. their look, republicans need to get through this year that any more chaos, it's good politics to keep my johnson where he is. we will look crazy if we get rid of the second one, we will look in capable of governing, keeping him in there is good. it provides stability in american

consider it? [laughter] >> look, i want mike johnson to be speaker he's doing a phenomenal job he's leading this conference and leading this country. and that is the objective here, like speaker mccarthy before him he got booted for doing the right thing we can't allow that to happen the second time. the institution needs to put what is right above all other considerations including political considerations here and for my republican colleagues, i'll just say this. the issues are on our side. whether you talk about after affordability or the disaster foreign policy of joe biden but if we continue to show that we are incapable of governing, then the american people are not going to give us another chance in november. so to all of my colleagues, cult your cry baby nonsense out. focus on the task at hand, work as a team.

mike johnson was forced to rely on democratic votes to pass these aid bills, just as he has had to rely on democratic votes to do basic governing, like keep the government from shutting down last month. and his majority just got smaller with mike gallagher set to officially retire after voting today. that means speaker johnson can only afford to lose one republican vote, one vote until a special election next month replace the former speaker, kevin mccarthy, who left congress at the end of last year. this dynamic could spell real trouble for speaker johnson, especially since a trio of far right members of the conference are threatening to oust him in retaliation for bringing a boat on ukraine aid. the congressman are now cosponsors of a motion to vacate against johnson, filed by the thorny champion of chaos,

so i don't really have much patients for marjorie taylor greene, who was done everything that is the opposite of anything that will keep this country on track. i really hope that her district is paying attention and they decided to pick someone else. >> i wonder if today's of vote, vote to also underscore, perhaps does this cement a commitment to the house speaker as well? mike johnson, who even though we heard from marjorie taylor greene that right now she's not going to initiate this motion to vacate, but it could be coming. does today's support of these foreign aid packages? is that also a parallel support for the house speaker? >> i don't think so listen, i don't know that we give you a pat on the back because you do the job that you were elected to do governing is what we are supposed to do, keeping america safe as what we're supposed to do. honoring our obligations to our friends and allies. that is

asymmetrical release of a 700 900 prisoners, either been charged or convicted of killing israelis, so i think that you've got a strategic cul—de—sac and right now i see no way out. hamas will survive either as an insurgent force or as a key force in palestinian politics with the capacity to intimidate or co—opt. the israelis will continue to operate in gaza at a much reduced level because they won't be a palestinian governing structure to prevent another 7 october. so you've got to remark, at least two nonstate actors, one in lebanon, hezbollah, and one in gaza, hamas, which will keep posing certificate risks to israeli security and, frankly, right now i see no way out of

Andrea Mitchell Reports

one of them can bully or threaten the speaker. that needs to stop. we need to get back to professionalism, back to governing, back to legislating. >> the house rules committee, which has to report this out -- they are the gatekeepers. they have hardline members. do you think it can get out of house rules? >> i think there's bipartisan support. this type of physical bully, not just legislative, is a great example. we need the speaker to be free from this type of threat so that he can do the right thing and certain the american people. he is showing tremendous courage. >> what about the fact that president trump -- former president trump has been very negative about the ukraine aid, wants it to be alone? there can be arguments for that. they have been arguing it to be done through the repo of taking russian assets. there's only $3 billion under
