Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and we have video of Lauren
0:04
Boebert that is going to shock the Republican Party. Before we get started, please make sure
0:10
you like, comment, share and subscribe. Those little things really help us out and they help
0:15
our channel continue to grow. Lauren Boebert has a tough match ahead of her to try and keep her spot
0:21
in Congress. She switched districts and now she's trying to stay in Congress in a new district in
0:28
what is not a Republican friendly state for the most part. Now she's talking about the House
0:34
Speaker Contest. See, Marjorie Taylor Greene and some others, they want to get rid of Speaker Mike
0:40
Johnson. The Democrats have said, well we're going to help Mike Johnson. He gave us basically what we
0:45
want so we're going to make sure he stays Speaker even if you do bring a motion to vacate. Not very
0:51
great news. It weakens Johnson. I don't think Marjorie Taylor Greene should do it but I think
0:57
she's going to do it. I think it's not wise but that's my opinion. Especially if you know it's
1:04
not going to work. That being said, Lauren Boebert was talking to Manu Raju, a CNN reporter, when she
1:12
said it doesn't make a difference to her if Johnson's a Speaker or Jeffrey's a Speaker and
1:17
she gave her reasons why. I want you to listen to it and then let me know what you think. As always
1:22
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. If needed, they would save the Speakership of Mike Johnson, the very conservative Louisiana
2:00
Republican, if individuals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others try to oust him
2:06
How are lawmakers responding to that? Yeah, it's mixed views here, Jake. I mean, we do expect a
2:12
wide number of lawmakers, probably overwhelmingly, to vote to kill that effort to oust Mike Johnson
2:18
This is much different than what happened in that historic and unprecedented ouster
2:21
of Kevin McCarthy last fall when all Democrats voted to kick out Kevin McCarthy, along with eight
2:27
Republicans. This time, we expect an overwhelming number of Democrats to save Mike Johnson, in large
2:32
part because of him, his deals that he cut to keep the government open, as also to provide aid to
2:37
Ukraine, also those same deals causing problems with the far right. But even so, a number of
2:42
Republicans and Democrats are indicating that they're willing to stand by the Speaker
2:47
even if they disagree with his past deal-making. Listen. We are passing the Democrat agenda each and every day that we're here. We have a slim majority in
2:56
the House, and everything's being passed overwhelmingly with Democrat support. So it makes no difference to me if it's Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker or Mike Johnson right now
3:06
I don't think it makes him weaker. I mean, Mike's, you know, he's under siege in a lot of different
3:11
areas, and I think he feels that. Are you comfortable with Democrats voting to keep
3:15
Michael Johnson in the Speakership? No, I'm not. Why? Because Hakeem Jeffries should be the Speaker
3:25
And that last comment coming from progressive Democrat Jamal Bowman, who disagrees with Hakeem
3:29
Jeffries' approach on this. And Jake, Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to have a press conference
3:34
tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. to announce her next steps. She can call for a vote, as any one member
3:38
can, to seek the ouster of a Speaker. So it could happen as soon as tomorrow, Jake
3:42
All right, Manu Raju on Capitol Hill, thanks so much. So much to talk about there, from Trump's
3:47
comments at Time magazine to Speaker Johnson's calling President Biden to get
3:51
involved in the campus protest. We're going to get into all of it right after this
