'Defying Trump' - Marjorie Taylor Greene Blockbuster Decision

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and Marjorie Taylor

Greene is about to defy Donald Trump and I don't think the former president is very thrilled

about it. Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share and subscribe

Those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow

Marjorie Taylor Greene said even though President Donald Trump or former President Donald Trump

does not want her to bring a motion to vacate against Speaker Mike Johnson, she's going

to do it anyway. And what it's going to do is it's going to have the Democrats come in and save him

It's going to tremendously weaken Johnson. It's going to tremendously weaken the Republican Party

And it's going to tremendously weaken our chances of winning the House again in 2024

Now if Trump wins the presidency, he's going to want a Republican House and a Republican Senate

This decision by Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to weaken those chances

And Trump, you know, is imploring her not to do it. Trump is a fan of Johnson

And Johnson, you know, he has flaws like every other human being

But I believe he's trying to do his best for the country. And I believe that when you're Speaker, you're privy to some information that the rest of

us are not. And I think that's why he's allowed some of these things to go forth

Now the idea that the FISA warrants he approved include spying on Americans without a warrant

is simply not true. It's about spying on foreign actors who are calling into the United States

But it's about people who could be terrorists. And you don't have time to get warrants on some of these things

Imagine if we had to get a warrant before 9-11 and we could have stopped it, but a warrant

stopped us from getting that information. It's a dangerous game. They're not spying on Americans

I mean, in that respect, I feel like you guys are being lied to by some people

It's just not true. Now I want you to take a look at what Marjorie Taylor Greene had to say

And then I want you to let me know what you think. As always, please remember to like, comment, share, and subscribe

I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you

Take care, everybody. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she will force a vote to oust the House Speaker Mike Johnson

as soon as next week. Let's go live to CNN's Manu Raj who was up on Capitol Hill for us

Manu, you were there at the press conference. I didn't see a whole lot of members of Congress standing around Marjorie Taylor Greene

Does she think she can pull this off? There's virtually no chance she can pull this off because of the decision by the Democratic

leaders, Hakeem Jeffries announcing yesterday that they would support the effort to kill

that resolution. This is much different than what happened in the fall. Of course, at that time, this was led by Republicans to oust Kevin McCarthy

Eight Republicans voted to kick him out of the speakership, but then all Democrats did as well

But Democrats view this situation differently. In the aftermath of Mike Johnson cutting some deals to keep the government open and then

providing aid for Ukraine, $61 billion in aid to Ukraine, all of which say that there's

no reason for them to kick out Johnson at this time. But it's those same deals that have caused this anger among those far-right Republicans

like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who says that she does plan to call for this vote next week

simply to put members on the record. Now, one question is, why is she moving forward with this

Because even despite Donald Trump suggesting he is not in favor of this at this time

I put that question to her at this press conference just moments ago

If this goes fails next week, as is expected, will you continue to try to force a vote on

this issue? And two, former President Trump has said positive things about the speaker and has said he doesn't

favor a motion to vacate. Aren't you defying the former president's wishes

Absolutely not. I'm the biggest supporter of President Trump, and that's why I proudly wear this MAGA hat

I fight for his agenda every single day. And that's why I'm fighting here against my own Republican conference to fight harder

against the Democrats. Mike Johnson has fully funded the Department of Justice that wants to put President Trump

in jail, giving him a death sentence. And Mike Johnson just put out a statement saying, quote, this motion is wrong for the

Republican Congress conference, wrong for the institution and wrong for the country

We do expect when this vote happens that Republican leaders are going to move pretty quickly to

actually take this up, essentially kill it, to try to move on past this episode

And there really are no other major decisions that are coming down the pike that could put

him in more hot water with his right flank. There is an effort that they would have to keep the government open, but that's not until

the fall. So perhaps Mike Johnson could survive this threat because of the Democratic support and Republicans

Many Republicans don't want to go through that messy episode that happened last fall when McCarthy was ousted and there were about three weeks of no speaker

The Republicans are battling each other. They're hoping to move past this and focus on the election

All right. Yes. She doesn't have a whole lot of support in her party, but she does have

a red hat. All right. Manu Raju up on Capitol Hill for us. Thank you
