There is a civil war in the Republican Party right now. And that civil war is over funding Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan

I'm all in favor of funding Israel. You know, I don't know where I stand totally on Ukraine and Taiwan

although I understand the necessity to do something. I try to hear both sides of the story here

and I'm just not an expert enough to give you false information. I'm not going to do that

I'm not an expert enough to tell you why or why not. But I will tell you that it bugs me

when we're protecting the borders of other nations and not protecting our own

And it really bugs me when our Congress is waving the flag of another country

in this case Ukraine in Congress and doing a Viva Ukraine chant

Have you ever seen the Ukrainian parliament hold American flags, all the money we sent them

You've seen them waving American flags? You ever see any other country do that? No only we do ridiculous things like that But Tony Gonzalez a representative Republican representative he said some things about Matt Gates and other Republicans on CNN that were absolutely shocking

If true, very shocking. But I don't know if they're true. I think they might just be vindictive

I don't know. But I'll tell you this, they were shocking. Like, that's the only word I can think of is shocking

I want you guys to hear it. And then I want you guys to let me know what you think. Please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe

I'm Carmine Seby of 4 Explained America. We love you guys. God bless you

Take care, everybody. After finally passing a foreign aid package that is now headed to the U.S. Senate

my panel joins me now. Nice to see you all. We have a real live actual House Republican Congressman here, Tony Gonzalez of Texas

So you voted yes on the foreign aid package. Do you have confidence that at this point, given that it is still possible that

that Marjorie Taylor Green will push to kick him out of the Speaker's chair that he can survive

He will survive. Look, the House is a rough and rowdy place, but Mike Johnson is going to be just fine

I served 20 years in the military. It's my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I served with some real scumbags

Look, Matt Gates, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties

Bob Good endorsed my opponent a known neo These people used to walk around with white hoods at night Now they walking around with white hoods in the daytime Look it didn surprise me that some of these folks voted against aid to Israel

but I was encouraged to see by a nearly 10-to-1 mark that Republicans supported our allies on the battlefield

Wow. Okay. I should say that the federal government did look into Matt Gates and those allegations

and they decided not to prosecute. Well, unlike Joe Biden's poor Uncle Bozzy, I think Mike Johnson's going to avoid the cannibals in his own party here

He stood up to him this weekend, and the adults retook control of the U.S. Congress

And I think people got sick and tired. He's one of them, of Marjorie Taylor Green, being in charge of their life

And they just finally said no. And so I think, and I hope that the Democrats will continue to stand with Mike Johnson here for a functional Congress

It strikes me Johnson's trying to. There's a wide middle in this country

He's trying to drag our politics back into something away from the dysfunctional fringe

and back into this wide middle where Congress can function, parties can have disagreements

but we're not in this constant turmoil because someone has a policy disagreement

We're going to toss them out. It's crazy and it needs to stop. I wish they had changed the rules

I know he's not going to do it, but maybe he won't have to. So I think he should absolutely get credit for taking a bold position here I think he probably decided you know what this job isn worth having if I not actually doing something And so and I think it was impressive and I think the way he laid out a values argument for the aid money particularly to Ukraine

was very impressive. And he clearly bucked the hard right of his party

I'm maybe a little less bullish on the idea that this represents a sea change and how Republicans

are going to operate on the hill. I think we've seen time and again that if it requires this level of

of political courage to get even sort of the most basic, ultimately bipartisan legislation done

That doesn't bode well for the way Republicans are going to operate moving forward

It's requiring people to take this kind of profile and courage moment is generally not the way you get things done

But I would absolutely say Mike Johnson deserves credit for standing up

And if there is a vote, should Democrats back him? I think a lot of Democrats will look to keep him because the alternatives just really aren't that great

Great. I'm old enough to remember when Republicans had what they called the Hasser

rule, right? But you needed to have the majority of the majority in order to pass any bill

Now it seems that if you want to govern in the country, you have to find a way to work with

Democrats if you're in the Republican Party because there aren't enough Republicans who are willing to do the right thing on these big bills
