Losers? Republicans panic over another speaker losing gavel as chaos rocks GOP and Trump 2024

Republicans don't see what's happening now if they've heard about MTG challenging Johnson and we can go into detail, they don't see this as a simple action, they know that hardliners have actually weakened their speaking ability and have normalized this kind of

chaos

for one. party again the democrats have other problems that we have covered but they do not have this problem even with narrow majorities this is a republican problem that the hardline magah normalized just as they have normalized other failures and civic decay in government and public life and a Once you do it, it's hard to undo, you may have noticed if you've followed politics for the past two years.

Now a Republican congressman is explaining the clashes over Ukraine funding and how hardliners are ready to upend his conference again. It could actually topple Mike Johnson's young presidency. Do you think he could lose his presidency because of this congressman? It's possible. I'm not going to deny it. We have one or two people who are not team players. I'd rather enjoy Limelight, social media, it's a very narrow majority and one or two people can make us a minority, it's a very narrow majority, so one or two Republicans can play this movie for their team, using Congressman Mike's terminology Johnson. he knows how quickly things can change because he mounted the last hardline uprising in this job and now this is interesting, tonight he's making the kind of opposing arguments to defend his position in this new interview with Fox, which shows that yes do you see the risk of how does this motion to override help regain the majority or gain a larger majority?

I don't think he will and I think all my other Republican colleagues recognize that this is a distraction from our mission again, the mission is to save the Republic and the only way we can do that is if we increase the House majority, win the Senate and we won the White House, so we don't need any dissent right now, we don't need any dissent, there's no relegation, so I'm telling you this as we start the week. Together, America finds itself with the new Republican Mike Johnson, anti-dissident and pro-unity, who is a far cry from the old Mike Johnson, who was cultivating the support of those very dissident members of Maga who set up that, as I mentioned, led that rise to power now in these days.

Johnson wants to take advantage of that history, I mean, everyone lives through it, he doesn't deny it per se, that would make him look really crazy, he tries to take advantage of history to then inoculate himself against the attacks of becoming a new McCarthy, a new establishment , no offspring, Mike and is trying. use his dealings with the White House to show that he remains a tough partisan who grimaces at everything the president says. A recent New Yorker profile reported on this exact dance, noting that Johnson has survived so far by convincing the far-right faction that deep down he is one of them. "Of them, I'm a hardline Conservative," he repeated over and over again in press conferences and interviews, and while Johnson repeats that, like a kind of new-age Maga Yogi Mantra, the real hardliners are looking at politics and know that they can use this influence, especially if they don't. worrying about the impact on the nation on government or even the broader popularity of their own Republican parties by entering into a high-stakes pick now Republicans can only lose two votes on party-line issues in the House and that goes down to one when

another

Republican leaves your caucus in a few weeks and that's where this story tonight is not just about politics, but also about democracy and what people really want and said they want in the last election, because the only reason the Republicans are weak in the House is because so many voters oppose their agenda, sometimes we talk about politics and personalities and MTG and Gates and all that, so many things that we really forget why this matters why we learn who these people are and follow what they do it's okay because they won elections some of them some of them see the country moving against their party and

losing

many other republican elections, and the public opposes this current republican agenda, especially regarding women's rights and pampering Trump's extremism, which was well documented in what they see on their screen and in what we all remember: the Republican failure in the last national elections.

In the midterms, Republicans would have simply delivered the usual change you get after a presidential race like that. Most historical trends would have more than 20 seats. However, here's the interesting thing here, instead of responding to the public as

another

election looms, some of these Republicans are driving toward the kind of

chaos

and extreme positions and hijacking of what you might call collaborative governance that actually could cost his own party control of the entire chamber. and that's not just an observation, although it is an observation, but also something that more and more Republicans are discussing in public because they can't find a way to get their party back to what Mike Johnson called: non-relegation, Unity or even any type of civic collaboration.

I know this is not how they do things right now, a top Republican calls out this problem and the obvious mistake of committing chaos without a plan, unfortunately the chaos caucus has continued to want to stop everything happening in Congress as if it were not. like they have a backup plan, we can have radical fringes, even radical individuals who don't really have an ideology or an agenda other than chaos that can cause disruption and that's what we've seen, which certainly makes it difficult for people who just I want to do the work, that is a criticism and an observation that comes from within the party and that talking about chaos is important because how do you reason with people who have no objective or who have no objective of government? real tensions within the party ranging from foreign policy to the issues of January 6 and how Republicans confront this electorate that rejects their recent and effective crackdown on women's rights and family planning.

Top Republicans have fled that recent court ruling against IVF, for example, and the hard line. In fact, issue groups are now said to be upset with Republican lawmakers for simply abandoning that unpopular position, and there are some big groups like Heritage and a Mike Pence project that are undertaking a different kind of sequel, maybe that's the word of the day because they have a I plan to quote literally rerun the row playbook and use it as pressure against the IVF issue as political reports. Now most House Republicans know that being branded like Gates or MTG is a loss for the party nationally.

Many know that their party is

losing

because of this. Suppression of women's rights and by the way that was true before this IVF ruling I mentioned, so you have Alabama voters just pushing a Democrat to flip a seat there with a huge 25o lead after running for women's rights and abortion. Marilyn L. just won. Alabama's House district seat, a reliably red district in northern Alabama, turned blue in a House special election. She made productive rights a centerpiece of her campaign. Tonight is a victory for Alabama women, families, and people in general are very excited to see maryn WIS win.

A lot of this tonight is because people value their freedoms in the South, in the Midwest, anywhere in the country. Freedom as an issue is not going away and these issues are affecting states that could drain support for Trump or some support for Trum Trump or even change opinion. Florida will now have a measure to protect abortion rights on the November ballot, so they will decide whether to enshrine abortion rights protections in their state constitution and that is a state that just restricted abortion to a ban 15 days for voters to leave this November. could be different, they could be more motivated to use this November race to repeal that new abortion ban that could shape turnout, it could make the electorate bluer and there are signs we've seen that some voters just aren't as enthusiastic with Joe Biden as compared to, say, Barack Obama within the Democratic Party, so that might matter in places where they're thinking, "I want to vote for Joe Biden." That's how politics works, that's how elections work, but in many states over 10 years old, in fact, they may also be thinking.

Well, I want to go out and talk about this topic in states that allow people to have their say and on that note, tonight this goes beyond the Groundhog Day reboot sequel I met and mentioned what's old is new again For House Republicans, it is coming back to life. their Groundhog Day trauma comes on top of electing their leader over and over again and trying to confront extremists who they say don't even represent the majority of Republicans, much less the country, to many voters who have told the pollsters that they are not very enthusiastic about any of the candidates, well we can see if we hear that the old is in play, they are new again and the stakes are high, who makes the medical and pregnancy decisions, are they women with their doctors and their own families or will it be government officials and unelected judges who will make those decisions for Women who decide whether religious views should influence the way you live, can you decide that the people themselves or you have unelected men in government deciding for you when religion will dictate your life, your choices, your freedom and lack thereof, because the judge right then and there?

The controversial IVF decision explained why she wanted to make these decisions for other families. It cites that human life cannot be unjustly destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God. He wrote this opinion to explain how he arrived at this result. He invoked the Book of Genesis and the prophet Jeremiah and quoted extensively from the writings of religious theologians of the 16th and 17th centuries, as the New York Times explained. Even before they are born, all human beings have the image of God and their lives cannot be destroyed without erasing their glory. end of quote, well, I would.

Tell the judge that it would be better for you to work in a church or religious institution, on radio shows, or anywhere where he can share his ideas. This is the United States. His ideas are welcome to be shared and, if he can convince people to follow them. a democracy which is great, but if your religious ideas, no matter how strongly you believe them, are imposed on other people who override their ideas, whether they are secular religious or not, and if we are going to do that, are we going to speak clearly about it? ? white Christian men citing a certain religion to control the freedom of bodies IVF planning family planning for so many other people moms and dads and dads and moms and all the other people who might want to make their own family planning decisions that's where we It's That's why what I told you tonight began with the political trauma of Groundhog Day, when we take it all together, it lands on stakes that have to do with your freedom, your liberty and the type of country in which we are going to live. , hey everyone, MSNBC. a new and improved app, you'll get real-time alerts and analysis, live blogs, in-depth essays, video highlights and the best coverage of the
