'People have had enough with the back benchers': Joe on GOP opposition to foreign aid bills
"There are a lot of people that have just had enough with the couple back benchers that are controlling what they do when it comes to Ukraine funding. The Speaker certainly should be applauded for what he's now saying about Ukraine."
On Thursday night, House Democrats joined Republicans leaders to advance critical security funding for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, paving the way for final passage on Saturday with a strong bipartisan vote of 316-94.
#MorningJoe's Joe Scarborough weighs in on House Speaker #MikeJohnson's willingness to bring #foreignaid bills to the House floor, despite resistance from hardliner Republicans, and risk his position.

These Law makers need to clean their own house.
They're incapable, still. Hopefully that will change.
Is this The Box speaking ?
The GOP needs tp
AllDemocrats
Speaker Mike Johnson is not a patriot who understands the necessity to help our allies when it matters most and the urgency behind it because if he did then he and the rest of the house republicans would have gotten this legislation passed the first time . The fact that the speaker is doing his job now doesn't make him a hero by no means.
WHAT a bunch of shady fools😮
🧠
You know what impresses me is the fact Joe is giving credit to Johnson for his stance, but Fox staffers would never give an inch of respect for any Democrat who did good. Just keep spewing their hatred. 👏 👏 👏 Joe.
Uncle Joe is a good man. I don't care how old he is
I have hope that Johnson will continue to "do what is right and let the chips fall where they may." When he first got the speakership and they were calling him "MAGA Mike" I was disheartened so this change does give me a tiny smattering of hope that he will continue to do what is right and advance that border bill Trump had him table. 🙏
When was the last time a Democrat did anything good?
@_F_J_B You can't be serious. Stimulus checks? Both Obama and Biden did that during their terms. The Infrastructure Bill is bringing a lot of good things to us. We have 2 bridges being fixed here, more jobs, and the minimum wage has increased and will continue to. Broadband to rural communities. The CHIPS act bringing the manufacture of semiconductors back to the USA. Insulin capped at $35 per vial, down from $200+. (Further legislation will be sure seniors on fixed incomes only pay $2,000 per year out of pocket.) They got a handle on the post-pandemic inflation (which was world-wide from pandemic shutdowns). All of that money your Republican lawmakers are bragging about coming to your states, Democrats did. Repubs all voted against it and now want to claim it. Watch C-SPAN. Be informed.
@_F_J_B, that's funny.
Marjorie Greene has had her day? One can only hope.
She is nothing more than an agent of the Kremlin!
I think representative Margie Taylor Greene what make an excellent speaker of the House
: Really? You want an insane, unhinged, stupid thing to represent you? We don't call her Marjorie Jewish Space Lasers TRAITOR Greene for no reason
@@allenkranawetter9482😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂your fuuuuuuny!!!!
@@allenkranawetter9482Yes, a flop house. Not the House of Representatives.
Maybe hearing Russian propaganda on the house floor pushed him to do something about Russia
Nahh, pressure from aipac that he couldn’t ignore
It's a middle finger to MTG.
Not in the least. This came about because of his son joining the naval academy, nothing more.
I never thought I would see the day
My issue is now he is ready to put bill up for a Vote . But how about all the Ukraine civilians and military that have Died and been Mamed because he put if off for so long .
AND THERE'S BLOOD IS ON HIS HAND AND HE WILL ANSWER
And all the people that live, because they didn’t come into contact with one of the manufactured death products from the United States, right change that
So true!
He doesn't care. Non of them do. They're being paid by the Kremlin to destabilise the US and help Putin win in Ukraine. And Americans just sit there and let them do it. No one has even protested that the GOP has been taken over by America's oldest and greatest geopolitical enemies. It blows my mind.
Who cares do a ceasefire. Bidens in 8 war conflicts. Google are we in WW3 yes we are .
This issue is completely unnecessary All because a Desperate man. That is a career Criminal. That has been ignored By his own party for way to long. It's time to end this Republican Fascist Insanity.
Time to end sending our money to other countries while we can barely afford groceries.
Sounds like that comment is about Biden, he is a career criminal
@jakemac1396 if the 1% (billionaires)would pay the same amount in taxes as the middle class. There would be no poverty in our wonderful country nor homeless. They need workers to do their bidding. Modern-day slaves. Keep you struggling to make ends meat. They have no Alegents to NO party. ONLY MORE MONEY
@@eddyclark5026Exactly! 👍 The feudal system reincarnated.
@@eddyclark5026 THATS A BUNCH OF CRAP!
I believe that term limits should be applied in the house. Term Limit
Already have limitations they are elected
Maybe he is starting to doubt Trump's future role in the GOP. After all, it is fear of Trump that has guided his so far
Weird Marjorie and Creepy Gaetz are on borrowed time!
Impressed you kept it clean
Let's hope
Straight facts and they are so extremely worried (Poker Face 😔)
I will believe it when I see if it actually happens
Foreign aid passed
Johnson is an obvious Trumpett and will do and say ANYTHING the cult leader asks of him! Beyond belief how Donnie still has control over the GOP!
I'm sure the red hats are not happy.
@@catkeys6911the red hats are not happy with gas prices. Grocery prices. Rent. Utilities. 2 new wars. Illegals getting better treatment than our own citizens. What’s crazy to me is how people like u will allow ur hatred for the orange man to completely fog the reality in which u r currently living in. It’s never too late to wake up. And quit getting ur news from the globalist elitists media stations. Why the heck do I have to be the only person with a brain?! U r all supposed to be college educated?! Might want to ask for a refund.
He will still have full control over the GOP chambers even if he stays in jail. The only way is to vote them all out.
The gop no longer exists. It is the facist party and anyone that supports it are traitors
@@tiffanyvang1085yep, vote out all the democrats so we can have cheap gas again and more jobs.. Biden wants to stop America drilling.
Sound and fury with no substance is truly MAGATS.
He grew a pair. About time too.
never trust a republican, including Joe.
The GOP dog is being wagged by the Russian bear's tail.
mike johnson has a son in the US military now and that's why he changed is mind about Ukraine weapons because mike knows about the fighting for his son is going to do if Ukraine lost the war because putin will go to more countries and then the US military will fight the russian?😂😂😂😂
The question is why did the speaker change his tune after visiting Trump in Florida. Trump had to have give Johnson permission and Putin had to have given Trump permission. Putin's strategy of division is still the name of the game in America.
It is election time. So they have to start looking like they are actually pro American and anti tyranny
Wild imaginations 😂🤣
Left wing conspiracy theories are always so laughable.
@rmsvend the speaker of the house changing his whole tune is not a conspiracy theory. Sorry if the leftwing conspiracies are not as idiotic and colorful as the right-wings... the left has been questioning the government since before the right was on their knees for reagan. Qbaby
@GloriaC-ez3zd actually, it is fact. But still, the question is why... if you care to use your imagination we are listening
When Diaper Don took office in January 2017, he inherited an economy in its 91st month of economic expansion following the end of the Great Recession. The expansion began in June 2009 and is the longest since at least 1854. The 128-month, record-long expansion came to an end and a recession commenced with the pandemic. Diaper Don had a double-dip recession.
Under Obama 8 years of war. Lowest economy growth in America history. Record number of mass shooting. Record number of people on food stamps. Record high health insurance costs. Record high national debt. Worst rioting since 1967 Highest poverty level in American history. This is what democrats call a success.
trump did inherit the OBAMA ECONOMY trump crashed the Economy on FEB 20 2020 the 6 SF Bay Area Counties announced the Nations first SHELTER IN PLACE on MARCH 14 2020 trump crashed the Economy before COVID the Stock Market CAN NOT catch the Flu it is ALWAYS bad political policy that chases Investors from the Markets *ALWAYS*
Facs😊
And he was left a pandemic response team and playbook to deal with any crisis He fired the pandemic response team, threw the playbook away and called Covid a liberal hoax If he’d of simply acted like an adult for Covid he would have been re-elected
trump crashed the Economy on FEB 20, 2020
Way past DUE! Get on with it!
Where was he 7months ago?
I know I've had enough
ENOUGH OF MOSCOW MARGE!!!! stop even interviewing her or talking about her!
💯💯💯💯💯💯 AGREE
Working what is right ❤
The speaker is a coward for wanting this long to help Ukraine,🇺🇦 how many lives have been lost because of this loser,he has blood on his hands.
we 34 trillion in debt why dont you give them your income to protect Ukraine oh no you dont want to but you want spend someone else money.
@link8689 you have a few choices. Leave because you don't like it here (or you don't live here already), vote how you want and stop complaining, or realize money spent to fight a brutal dictatorship is worth it because Democracy is the right way on this world. Any which way, stop crying ❄️.
GOP is now starting to feel the power of we the people slowly but surely
When will Congress finally get fed up with Empty G's destructive behavior, and expel her from Congress?
Johnson seems to be doing what is correct and dems are backing him. In my opinion it says a lot about Johnson. Somehow he broke away. Maybe what Trump said to him Johnson didn’t buy. Or caused him to think differently.
Come On Down Senator Jeffries aka our next House Speaker 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jeffries s/have been elected speaker instead of Johnson. I love to listen to Jeffries speak. Like Obama.
Representative. But yes!
Anyway, he wants to stand up to MTG and wants get it done. Laudable.
WE, THE PEOPLE, HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!
How did Greene get so much influence so quickly? Who does she owe what?
I actually thought the purpose of the House of Representatives was to work together 🤔.
The speaker has delayed and delayed so who caused this situation ..The speaker too little too late . Sorry Joe who put him there? Himself
NICE tie, Joe! 😊
So True Joe ❤❤
Totally agree, he has stepped up and is a leader
No Faith I'm the Republican party A Vote of No confidence in former President Trump & the People pay TAX not the rich the people
GOP nothing-Burger.
Ha Ha Saturday they're voting on all money to other countries separately. Not bunched up. Do a vote
Boy if I love you both tell them like it’s especially ConDon thank you I love you
If they have term limits why are these people allowed 25 or 30 years on office
If you like what he's saying Joe, just remember that "talk is cheap"! Results are what matters!!
Let's hope those back benchers become more and more irrelevant.
Amen. Well said, but we still must all go out and vote blue 💙🔵 straight through. Don't let our guard down and become complacent.
WHY did he finally do the right thing?
I LOVE how Hakeem Jeffries finessed this action behind the scenes. He'd make a fantastic Speaker. He was able to hold his nose and reach across the aisle to get 'er done!
Johnson let it go for 6 months! Unacceptable!
What ignorant MTG would think though is that Joe made up the quote "Sound and Fury, signifying nothing".
Joe Scarborough is Keith Olbermann part Two😅
It's filled with graft and corruption. That's why.
Get rid of Marge.
Thanks Speaker Johnson.
😄😄😄😄😄🙄🤢
I like his term "back benchers!" It perfectly describes the wackos in the GOP, Boobert, Greene, Gaetz and the like! They have a lot to say, but are totally ineffectual when it comes to getting the work done!
I can't help but think of the elf on a shelf every time I see Mike Johnson 😂
Way to go Speaker Johnson!
Republicans who needs them not America VOTE BLUE
Give us one good reason, so far we have spent more to secure the borders of other countries while leaving ours open
@@kenlorenz4758 Then maybe stop voting Republican when they refuse to bring a border spending bill to the floor.
@jacobisbell9388 Maybe I'd rhe democrats quite putting unnecessary spending tied to the border funding it would have passed. Why is Ukraine spending on bill for our border?
Is it? Yes yes it is. Colbert for Speaker.
we 34 trillion in debt why dont you give them your income to protect Ukraine oh no you dont want to but you want spend someone else money.
I would rather chew on steal wool than listen to Marjorie Green talk
Mick Johnson is not good for the speaker of the house
AMMERICAINS HAPPY PATRIOTS FROM ALL COMMUNTYS KEEP FIGTHING FOR VOTTERS ID ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
PARLEZ VOUS FRANCE? VOUS NE PARLE PAS ANGLAISE!
VOTER ID IS ALREADY REQUIRED FYI!
@@miguelramirez6352 With papers that are given to the illegals alliens in Mexico to vote demicrats and the facts that they dont want to give votter ID to the black community ?????
How about we start fighting for voter intelligence!!
I give Mike Johnson credit for finally bringing the foreign aid for Ukraine.
I give him the dubious credit for not bring the foreign aid bill up for a vote and causing the death of an unknown number of Ukrainians. He is a Putin puppet and he has much blood on his hands.
Yes but the speaker also seems to have realised that if the funding isn’t supplied now to shut Putin down, then it will escalate into needing troops - and his eldest son has just started basic training. Meaning he’ll likely have to be involved in any conflict.
He sold his soul to uniparty, the devil incarnate
Don't pat him on the back too hard... it still took him 6 months to pass two weeks worth of legislation.
Vote BLUE 💙
Now, if Johnson wants to have a little more credibility, put the bi-partisan immigration bill to a vote.
WRONG, RINOS HAVE TO GO!
I have heard a few commentators in the last couple of days note that Speaker Johnson is now part of the briefing sessions. So maybe he knows more now than he did before.
He can say whatever he wants,i don't believe a word
JOE,HOW ABOUT GEN.CHARLES FLYNN
Speaker Green thats about business. Let's get it done or vp green im loosing faith in these juggheads 😢
We have enough Whit him and the politicians and courts and some of those president
Yup!
I thought Joe was worried about losing "democracy". However, he seems against dissent among Parties, which is anti democratic
It's always time to do the right thing. Just need to keep doing the right thing. And one good move doesn't absolve all other bad moves.dump trump and get normal, and go fishing.
Back Benchers aka Back Stabbers
I applaud Speaker Johnson for his courage and patriotism, despite the extreme pressures from his "extreme maga colleagues" in the House. Democrats ought rightly to back Speaker John in his present circumstances!!! God bless America and Speaker Johnson 🇺🇸🇺🇲
Get real!! Johnson is a puppet!! He and the GQP will do whatever their lord and master tells them to do to sway(fool) the electorate!
Speaker is a Rino, enough said!!
I’m so confused on how Johnson is better than McCarthy when he is so much more shady and extreme. How did the democrats participate I ousting McCarthy when he was working across the aisle, and Johnson now is, but has been pretty horrible in terms of his record. Maybe they have something on McCarthy and Jan6. Dunno. But, it is indeed true that McCarthy did start an inquiry on Gaetz. And o think that was a good thing. Was this a power move? Maybe… was it effective. Yeah. It was. But, do we want to be about just power like Republicans? I’m torn on that one. We do want to win and we desperately need to as all our rights are disappearing. So, maybe we do. But, we do have to thread carefully, because, the party is now completely infiltrated with former republicans and we don’t wanna become Dixiecrats. Due to our two party system this has happened many times before. I myself was once a Republican. A moderate, but a Republican nonetheless. I think this may be good in some ways as we’re gearing toward a country before party mentality, but we MUST be really careful to not move toward nationalism which is usually what ends up happening at least from a historical standpoint. It’s very subtle, but it does happen.
Don't praise that snake, he's got something up his sleeve/
Good application of a line from the Tomorrow speech in Macbeth.
I wouldn't applaud him for NOTHING he visits trump to much . I guess he can't make up his own mind .
Baloney. The Military/Industrial complex said NO MORE campaign donations to MAGA until those corporations get GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.
where does that say in constitution that united states must be for world leader government??? i want to know??
Okay let's talk about how WE benefit real quick, since you clearly don't care about other countries or people. First of all, Russia is a hostile government, and Ukraine fighting them is the cheapest form of defense we could ever have for our nation and no American lives are being lost. Second it keeps us allied with these other countries, which is good for global market stability, and also we're the only country that has ever called NATO to war for us so maybe it's a good thing to have allies if we're attacked. Even from purely selfish standpoints it's just good foreign policy to help Ukraine. Republicans oppose it for 2 main reasons, 1. Putin owns many of them and 2. anything BIden does is bad and they have to oppose it.
He actually looks like a ventriloquists puppet
HE DOES!
He's been acting like one too.
Let's not get this twisted. The only reason why he finally brought this forward is because of his son going into the naval academy. Nothing more nothing less. With them there's always an ulterior motive. Beware of Trojan horses😡.
👏👏💪⚖️🦅🇺🇸🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
The Speaker corrected himself for his own benefit, but the thing that he can't correct is all those Ukrainian that died when they really didn't have to. That is what the Speaker can't correct. He has much blood on his hands.
When it involves the leadership of the USA in preserving and protecting democracy and world peace and order is at stake legislators should put aside their differences and act bipartisan if they really love the USA and the American people and are concern of the welfare of US allies dependent to it for support and leadership and sacrificing their leaders or parties' interests. In this instance SMJohson is an example of a good Republican legislator who cares and loves America and its role in the world👏. Vote blue🟦 Vote for JBiden👍. JBiden/KHarris 2024-2028 🙏🇺🇲👍😊.

Why you guys blame joe biden when congress is in charge 😂
Joe please take a speaking class because you can't put one sentence together 😅
Looks like MJ isn’t relying on DJT’s support.
This is 100% propaganda
don't you think it's a little too late you should listen from the beginning but I understand he didn't understand two wrongs don't make a right and I forgive him we should give him a chance he know what he's doing
On another note, I think 45 is so jealous of Joe's hair!!😊😊😊
Johnson just realized he's been a hand puppet for the crazies. And that it's better to be damned if you do, THAN DAMNED BECAUSE YOU WON'T DO YOUR JOB.
