MIKE JOHNSON IS NOT CAPABLE OF THE JOB. HE'S PROVEN IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. NEXT WEEK I WILL CALL THE MOTION TO VACATE, ABSOLUTELY CALLING IT. >> IF THERE'S ONE THING HOUSE REPUBLICANS CAN ALWAYS PROMISE THESE DAYS, IT'S MORE CHAOS. CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SAID TODAY THAT SHE WILL FORCE A VOTE TO OUST HOUSE SPEAKER JOHNSON NEXT WEEK, BLAMING HIS DECISION TO PASS EMERGENCY AID TO UKRAINE BUT THAT MOTION IS DOOMED TO FAIL THANKS TO DEMOCRATS, WHO PROMISED TO SUPPORT JOHNSON AGAINST THE MOTION. MARK, WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS? >> WELL, REPUBLICANS HAVE CLAWED AWAY AT THE BOTTOM, AND THE PROBLEM IS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SLIM MAJORITY, THEY ARE IN THE MAJORITY AND INCREASINGLY, THEY ARE REALIZING THEY CAN'T GO HOME AND SAY THAT THEY'VE DONE ANYTHING AND THEY ARE STARTING TO GET THE SIGNAL INCLUDING AND ESPECIALLY FROM DONALD TRUMP THAT THIS AIN'T WORKING FOR HIS REELECTION, AND ALL THEY'VE GOT TO DO IS LOOK BACK TO HARRY TRUMAN TO SEE HOW HE CAME AND WOUND IN A COMEBACK BECAUSE HE RAN AGAINST A DO-NOTHING CONGRESS AND THEY REALIZE IF THAT HAPPENS, THAT'S NOT AN ASSET FOR DONALD TRUMP SO INCREASINGLY PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE DRILL THAT ALL MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE IS A HUMAN AGITATOR AND SHE'S CLAWED HER WAY TO THE BOTTOM. >> JOE, IT'S YOUR FIRST VISIT TO THE 11th HOUR SO WE WILL MAKE YOU ANSWER THE IMPOSSIBLE, NTG DOESN'T HAVE THE VOTES TO GET RID OF JOHNSON SO WHAT DOES SHE HAVE WITH THIS? >> SHE GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION FROM THE FAR RIGHT BASE, I WAS AT THAT PRESS CONFERENCE THIS MORNING AND IT WAS A FREEWHEELING THING, SHE WAS WEARING A MAGA HAT AT ONE POINT, SHE LIKES TO DO THIS, AND IT GETS THAT ATTENTION THAT SHE WANTS AND I THINK THAT'S WHY YOU MIGHT SEE A FEW MORE BUT CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH REPUBLICANS, AND SUPPORT HER CALL IT'S SHE DOES DO THIS. AS FAR AS DEMOCRATS, THEY CAN SAY THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED IN GOVERNING WHICH IS BEEN SHOWN THAT THEY ARE, THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE GOTTEN THE FOREIGN AID PACKAGE AND JOHNSON, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO LAST FOREVER, IT MIGHT BE THIS ONE TIME OR ANOTHER TIME, WHO KNOWS? >> I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS, THE NEW YORK TIMES DID THESE EXIT INTERVIEWS WITH LAWMAKERS FROM BOTH PARTIES WHO DECIDED TO LEAVE CONGRESS THIS YEAR, WATCH THIS. >> ONE WORD I WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE CONGRESS, I WOULD SAY -- >> DYSFUNCTIONAL -- >> CHAOTIC. >> VERY CHALLENGING. >> DIFFICULT, LAST YEAR WHEN THE REPUBLICANS TOOK OVER, THEY PASSED 27 BILLS WHICH MADE US THE MOST UNPRODUCTIVE CONGRESS IN ANY GIVEN YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES HISTORY. >> DYSFUNCTIONAL. >> DYSFUNCTIONAL. PROBABLY A POPULAR WORD YOU ARE HEARING. >> IS IT ANY WONDER THEY FEEL THIS WAY, LOOK AT WHAT MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE IS DOING TODAY. >> WHEN I SEE PEOPLE LIKE KEN BUCK FROM COLORADO, WHERE I AM, HE WAS ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE FREEDOM CAUCUS AND HE'S THE GUY THAT IS SAYING THAT IT'S DYSFUNCTIONAL. MOST MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, ACTUALLY GO THERE TO DO SOMETHING BUT THE PROBLEM IS THE GOAL OF PEOPLE THERE NOW, WHO ARE INCREASINGLY IN POWER, PEOPLE LIKE MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, THEIR GOAL IS DYSFUNCTION, THEIR GOAL IS CHAOS, THEIR GOAL IS NOT TO
