Rep. Turner: ‘The bully caucus believes’ they can ‘threaten the Speaker and that needs to stop’
#MikeJohnson #Congress #GOP
Best interview I've heard from a Republican for years. Rational, accurate, important National Security interests recognized. Reassuring. Thank you, RepTurner.
Came here to say exactly that!
@@WackadoodleMalarkey Same...
Except that you were silent for the last 6 months while your MAGAt colleagues vomited Russian disinformation... Do you believe that you conducted yourself with integrity, Representative Turner? Because you act like someone who couldn't, for the longest time, find his balls!
This, Congressman Turner's report proves is why we need more legitimate republicans in Congress , and way way less MAGA clown show which is part of the trump/puty ongoing Coup . Vote Blue ballot down in 2024 and Rebuke trumpy's ongoing Coup and trump being Clear and Present Danger
He was rational until he talked about Iran. Their attack on Israel was just for show, "failure theatre" to borrow Matt Gaetz term.
Get the MAGAs out of Congress. This is insane.
This is not our Foreign Policy that's being played out, it's so wrong, those responsible should be expelled, Ukrainian lives are being sacrificed for foolish intentions of T****, this is not our Foreign Policy being played out.
if the magas r trying to stop those absurd spending then they're right
THEY ARE AS CORRUPT AS TRUMP! WE THE PEOPLE NEED REPRESENTATION, THEY NEED TO BE DUMPED OUT AS WELL AS TRUMP ASAP. TRUMP NEVER SHOULD EVEN BE ON ANY PRESIDENTIAL BALLOTS PERIOD!
I'm voting them in. FJB & democrats
Support Ukraine!
🇺🇦🇺🇦💙💙
No!
Please pass Ukraine aid!!!!!!
Yes!
No!
Every MAGA Republican needs to file the paperwork for being a "Foreign Agent" for Russia.
How many rubles does it pay to be one?
Do you think they are selling us up the river for more or less than the ruble equivalent of 5 dollars?
They are not fit to be called 'Republican'. They are anti-American, anti-democratic and copy the Russian propaganda - super cheap and dumb.
🤣🤣🤣 Absolute TRUTH! 😅
@@NikosZaidGomezwithout a doubt!
@@NikosZaidGomezIt's hard to put a price on the blackmail material Russia holds on Republicans.
Ukraine has embarrassed a superpower on the world's stage. They have shown the entire world what a proud and freedom loving people can do when threatened withSlavery. Ukraine has done what no one thought it could do. Ukraine made a superpower tremble. Poootin knows that Ukraine can definitely win if it receives the aid it needs.
They are not winning though. Russia is gaining more ukraine territory. They simple do not have the numbers to win this war. Russia has not even mobilized its entire force. Ukraine is simply outnumbered and no matter how many weapons or money we send the ratio is not in ukraines favor. I do not see spending Trillions being a smart move as we could send all that money and ukraine still loses. How are you so willing to waste trillions on not a sure thing?
Trillions?!?! 😂😂😂😂
@@middle_of_the_road You are so poorly miss informed that it isn't even funny
Ukraine isn't short on troops
As a matter of fact they have a law that they can not conscript anyone under the age of 25
They can still volunteer, but until they change that law they aren't short on troops
What they lack is equipment
Putin can conscript all the troops that he wants in Russia, but it doesn't change the fact that he's been arming soldiers with rifles from WWI
He's also fielding T54 and T55 tanks because he is running out of tanks
He lacks air superiority and F16's are on the way
Yes, without U.S. aid the Russians are making small gains in territory
But that is at an insane price, because Putin knows that he has to push hard while Ukraine is short on ammo because of Mike Johnson's interference
Get the aid flowing again and the tide will turn against Russia again
They left their defensive lines and are out in the open
@@middle_of_the_road How much is Putin paying you to lie? And do you even understand that a large portion of this money goes to companies in the US to produce weapons and equipment which then is sent to Ukraine, so it benefits the U.S.
@@DavidJ222 Yes as this war drags on. Ukraine will need funding every 3 to 6 months and it will be in the 10's of billions if not more. Eventually it will be a trillion if not more the longer this war drags on.
Thank you so much Chrm. Intel Comt. GOP Rep. Mike Turner for your efforts and for disclosing to us the current situation on Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, etc. package. Keeping our fingers crossed.
Rep. Turner is a courageous man for speaking out. Wish him luck.
AMERICA VS. TRUMP
America must not die as opposed to T***p
Stop threatening congress members and using impeachment as a weapon because you don't like policy decisions and REFUSE to debate issues. It's juvenile and very unprofessional.
Well said
Although I don't like Mike it appears he may be growing a spine. Anyone that becomes a GOP speaker has to stand up to these bullies and show them who is in charge.
Mike Johnson and MTG should not work in public office after the next election cycle.
Lets not forget what the MAGA retrumplicans in Congress stand for. They all need to go
Lest we not forget that MAGA Mike was one of the lawyers representing Trump in trying to overturn our election! He worked vehemently to illegally keep an illegitimate president in office well past his expiration date! 👿
It is Rus Johnson !!! 😀😃. Although, seems the CIA got the Rus off his back, but Maga politicians seem to get tons of rubles in general
If Johnson survives this and helps pass foreign aid, he just may have earned the right to stay. It seems to me he's been receiving security briefings that have weighed on his conscience and changed his stance, but I'm not trusting him just yet.
@@inexister7371 He is single handedly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians.
YES AND NOW!
Support Ukraine today!!
Hello@Joanne
How are you doing 😊
Where are you from?
@@DanielVisser66 You are on the wrong social media, this ain't a dating site.
Thank you R Rep Turner for being sane reasonable and a example of integrity for the bully pro Russian caucus! Keep the faith!
Does Johnson need a bodyguard crew now...Like McCarthy employed? To protect him from his own party?
McCarthy has money
Now House Republicans are realising they are their own worst enemies.
Representative Turner, you've had 6 months during which you could have been making these points, but instead you elected to criticize Biden. Welcome to defending freedom! We are glad that you finally(!) got on the right side.
Don't expect us to forget that you were silent while Gaetz, Roy, and Taylor-Greene vomited Putin's disinformation for MONTHS.
Heck yes! TRUTH!!
@@lisakeane4386 Slava Ukraini!
He's just barely not letting a small number of fanatical lunatics push him around... so courageous...
Trump is somehow behind this.
Speaker Jeffries, coming right up.
All the same uniparty
Real fast.
Like vomit.
@@LionDiamond-ow1xy the "uniparty" doesn't exist. There are two parties and Republicans refuse to govern at all. There is no equivalency when it comes to reasonable and rational governance.
Elise wants speaker position which will.put her further up the line, that's why she's very quiet.She will do anything.to.stop Jeffries from.becoming speaker
I vote Democrat and will certainly continue to do so. I do agree with Congressman Turner about the chaos created by Magats and especially the support that he seems to show for aiding Ukraine. There is some common ground there.
👏👏👏👏👍🌷
Putin is the classic jilted boyfriend.
"If I can't have her, then no one can!!"
He's is like a guy who's girlfriend (Ukraine) left him 30 years ago after years of abuse at his hands, and he's never gotten over it. He still thinks he can get her back. 🤣
Just like his "butt-buddy" Trump.
No guy would be pining after the same girl for that long as she would be well past post wall at that point.
@@juventinocasillas3023get off the internet incel.
@@juventinocasillas3023it's just used as a analogy to make it understandable to some. They're right in that analogy. When the Soviet Union broke up in 92,putin was upset to no end. Now he thinks he can go into those countries that broke away and reclaim them,trying to get the old Soviet Union back. He wants all of them,not just Ukraine.
Putin never learned to woo them back with kindness.
Did Johnson actually grow a brain? Slava Ukraine!!
He is compromised didler
He's desperate
He knows that if he continues doing what he has been doing he'll end up being ousted from Congress all together
Voters are tired of his do nothing House
No he grew a pair of!!
Maga Mike needs to go. We need someone that doesn’t listen to Tramp.
The politics of hate and fear is all they know. They've been eating each other for some time now.
Wonderfully articulated.
Yes, step up and remind them of the decorum of the House!
Why is the Republicans inviting the Russians in explain that
Johnson's latest trip to Florida, should be a red flag for any recent actions he is taking. Why the turnaround? Trump is behind every move he makes. This could be one huge diversion from a more sinister agenda.
My guess is that Defendant 45 told Mikey that even though he COULD call off the Clown Posse, he won’t. It benefits him for Mikey to lose his job, the chaos would be great to distract people from his looming criminal trial(s). Mike just decided to throw a wrench in the plan by bringing Ukraine aid up for a vote since he’s got one foot out the door anyway.
pennies on the dollar to defeat putler , im in !!!
Biden too.
@@AmericasinertiaNo. Putler
Ukraine is not beating putin though. Are you willing to waste trillions and ukraine still lose?
@@middle_of_the_road The majority of what Ukraine receives is older military equipment. The U.S. military then requests new equipment, which spurs the economy. This isn't hard to understand.
@@middle_of_the_road yes
Johnson is no patriotic paragon of virtue. Let the GOP continue to fail until they are no longer relevant. We need a new, viable, competitive party that puts nation, Constitution, and ALL of our citizens first...
first it was mccartney, then hunter, ,then myorkas, now johnson. what is to come, the jews, the gays, then the priests?
No. Just communist blue
Don't worry, they're working on the other groups. Give them time.
Think she's already attacked those,too.
Well, priests, uh, yeah.
Andrea Mitchell is brutal.
About time we started to hear these statements. Should have been happening a long time ago
Johnson's no favourite of mine but if he get this much needed aid through, It's worth some respect.
Beats House's being led by Moscow Marjorie. Though not by much. Gives Dems some leverage over the far-right crazies.
MTG. Ha ha ha 😂🤣😜🤪

How is she allowed to carry on ???
@@johnburgess951It is an outrage that Georgia keeps her in office.
She's one of Putin's best assets.
She couldn't find Europe on a map. Western Russia is technically in Europe.
The only Republican adult in the room.
The rest are all whining babies.
Incredibly right questions to get answered by Republicans at this moment in time!
Sometimes it’s hard to get informative news , I want to know about Ukraine aid , for me this commentator is hard for me to listen to but who she interviewed was very informative
Vote Biden 2024.
No Thanks. I like cheap food + Gas
FJB
@@LionDiamond-ow1xyIn Tennessee, gas prices have decreased a bit, so thankfully gas isn’t as expensive as it was during quarantine in 2020. Now for the record, I dislike all politicians and I don’t trust any of them, but as long as we have a leader who knows how the law works and knows he isn’t above the law, then I will be happy.
I'm ridin' with Biden!
@@LionDiamond-ow1xyHey Vlad how’s the weather in Moscow?
wow a clear and factual Republican….happy to hear that there is still hope and reason in the Republican Party ….
Get back legislating or governing. When have the GOP done that over the past 10 plus years, not just the house, but the Senate also. They do not know how to come up with ideas and just saying no.
Congress must always do what's in America's National Interest,not a member of Congress political interest.
"This is winnable for them". Exactly the words the administration should use.
Make Americans Get Attorneys.
SEND IT TO THEM NOW FUNDING?
This is rare a congressman with common sense.
Representative Turner fails to recognize that Iran was retaliating for an attack by Israel. A counterpunch in answer to a counterpunch becomes a fight.
Support the free world!!!
Ken Buck mocks 'Moscow Marjorie Taylor Greene' for being more worried about getting talking points from the Kremlin and being on TV as she threatens to oust Speaker Johnson.
Johnson says Marjorie has no balls. Moscow says she has balls. Who is right?
Jeesh, Mike Turner. Nice job biting your tongue all these months about the bullies throwing sand in your sandbox. Better late than never? Or strategic opportunism?
little king has directed his jesters to interrupt the house proceedings
Great commentary
"Tremendous courage"? Rather, he's not being a coward (in this particular instance).
Thank you for supporting Ukraine’s defence of western democracy
This guys seems so rational and responsible, it's easy to see him throwing up his hands and quitting in the near future. Who wants to suffer fools every damned day?
Mtg needs to go
And by the way: have you all seen Marjorie Taylor Green on RUSSIAN TV screens lately???
🙄🤔😀
For once Johnson has said the right thing. Talk is cheap. Let's see if he can DO the right thing
If any fellow worker got in my face and yelled at me, I'm sure I would have lost my job with my response.
Governing and legislating? What a novel concept.
I'm disgusted that they have attached the Tik Tok ban to this aide bill.
I Commend you, Mr Speaker Mike Johnson it takes a lot of courage to stand up to the bully pull pit and set your own agenda it took you a while amid all the distractions from your own party and Mr Trump. But by aiding our long time allies is what gave America it's high standing, and you are on the right side of history and maybe able to get the Republicans back on track even if for a moment in time.
This is why you don't give children power.
Wow a Republican that makes sense.
fingers crossed
Lol this guy Turner said back in october that McKarthy would not be ousted. He has zero credibility 😂😂😂
Cmon M. Titan Green DEW it for the content. Don't let Johnson boss you around queen.
DEW it DEW it
It’s not bullying to demand a speaker remain loyal to the people he allegedly represents but great stuff msnbc
He represents all Republicans' in the Congress, not just the small portion against the Ukraine aid. The fair way to do it, would be to bring to floor, so all could vote on it.
Typo in headline correction, "GOP lawmaker hammers own 'bully circus' threatening Speaker Johnson". 😲
Finally a Republican with integrity and less fear willing to put america first by helping our ally Ukraine! thank him for speaking up and not just playing “ Follow the past leader!”
*I think you need to GET REAL!!!..Get back to what???..What TF are you talking about ???...Your party is leaving the Party My Guy...it's the walk of shame..and good riddance to bad Trash...Maybe this country can finally heal and be great again once we close the door on this dark side of history!!!*
Andrea, it's time to retire.
Capable, informed, articulate, clear, forceful: an outlier in the GOP
It’s good to see there are reasonable republicans left
How did this man vote during Trp first impeachment over blackmailing Ukraine?
M.johnson needs to be his own man, running to the Xpresident, doing what the Xpresident wants and say,dumb, jhonson needs to go he had a grade A border bill ,what did jhonson do, what Xpresident said. Gotta go, I'm a Reagan and Bush republican, democrats can't save everyone,
Johnson represents a conservative district in Louisiana - most likely a lot of Trump Cult enthusiasts there. He wants another term in the House so he can't completely abandon Donnie as he fears getting primary'd...
So nice to hear a republican who makes sense and wants to do the right thing, not just following the ex's intereses.
Look at Mike Turner talking about Republican's doing their jobs....😂😂😂 Thank the Lord that the Democrats have adults in the room.
Send that money to Kentucky or Alabama.
Support Ukraine 🇺🇦
Wonder how long he will last. He has some common sense.
Johnson is a very very stable genius 🇷🇺
Can Congress set up weekly briefs with intel on Russian propaganda with specific posts & talking points?
We need to get back to ethics .
If not we will become exactly like Putin 😮 😮 😮
Pass the Senate bill. Stop screwing around.
I like to know if the speaker of the house understands that in order to vote you must be a register voter, every person has a place where they go to vote they give their name and information to the person who looks up the person name they sign in get a ballot sheet go to a booth fill out the ballot sheet then go to the ballot machine put their ballot sheet in watch it be counted and leave. Now with this election integrity people who are already registered voter do we got to prove we’re American citizen too.
Where does the money GO??? Actually!?😮
away from trump and his kids so they cannot steal it
To American factories that will make more modern equipment to refill the shelves.
Glad to hear from a REAL conservative instead of those RINO ISOLATIONISTS.
A great interview thank you Ms Mitchell
Hey Maga Mike...how does it feel to be on the wrong side of wrong?😮😊
The real news is the fact that the SENATE GOP who like to play like they are the adults almost to a member voted for the clown show brought to them by the house chaos caucus.
Budmo !

OK The phone idea is kinda ok? I use my old worn out laptop with some spell check and I do not hav $2,000 dollars to upgrade. So thank you?
Back to professionalism? When was the MAGA House caucus ever been professional?
So someone explain to me why the extreme right of the GOP refuse to approve funding for Ukraine aid when this only results in an advantage for Russia in their war of aggression..
What caused Mike to out himself as a MAN !!
