OF HOMELAND SECURITY. >> THE MANAGERS ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE WILL PROCEED. >> TODAY HOUSE REPUBLICANS PUT ON QUITE A SHOW OF UNITY. YOU'LL REMEMBER BACK IN FEBRUARY THE HOUSE VOTED ON PARTY LINES TO IMPEACH ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS. THIS AFTERNOON, THAT PROCESS MOVED FORWARD. REPUBLICAN HOUSE IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS INCLUDING MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN WALKED SHOULDER TO SHOULDER THROUGH THE HALLS OF CONGRESS TO DELIVER THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT TO THE U.S. SENATE. THE LAST TIME THE HOUSE DELIVERED ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT TO OUST A CABINET MEMBER WAS BACK IN 1876. THE SECRETARY BORE WAS ACCUSED OF TRADING MILITARY POSTS FOR PROFIT. NOW IN 2024 WHAT HAS HOMELAND SECURITY ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS DONE TO MERIT IMPEACHMENT? REPUBLICANS SAY HE HASN'T DONE ENOUGH TO STOP ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS. THAT IS NOT GROUNDS FOR IMPEACHMENT. IN REALITY, REPUBLICANS ARE THE ONE WHO SABOTAGED BORDER PROTECTION JUST A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, A FACT THAT DAN GOLDMAN PRINTED OUT EARLIER TODAY. >> UNFORTUNATELY, THE REPUBLICANS HAVE PUT POLITICS OVER OUR BORDER SECURITY. THEY WANT CHAOS IN ORDER TO WIN AN ELECTION RATHER THAN TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. THERE WAS A POLICY BILL, THERE WAS A POLICY CHANGE THAT WOULD HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY ADDRESSED THE PROBLEMS AT THE BORDER AND INSTEAD YOU ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE SABOTAGED IT WHERE YOU BASELESSLY IMPEACHED THIS YEAR TERRY WHO IS TRYING TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER BECAUSE YOU WANT TO WIN IT. YOU DON'T WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. >> A POLITICALLY MOTIVATED FACELESS IMPEACHMENT VOTE CONGRATS TO REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS FOR ACCOMPLISHING THAT. DON'T BE FULL BY THE PLAY OF UNITY BECAUSE THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY THING REPUBLICANS MANAGED TO ACCOMPLISH IN THIS 118th CONGRESS. FUNDING THE GOVERNMENT FOR A FULL YEAR TOOK OFF THE FISCAL YEAR. BIPARTISAN BORDER DEAL SHUTDOWN. TAIWAN AND UKRAINE STALLED FOR MONTHS. FIGHTING OVER THE UKRAINE AID BILL HAS BECOME SO CONTENTIOUS THAT CONGRESSMAN GREENE HAS BEEN THREATENING OUST SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON OVER IT FOR WEEKS. UNTIL TODAY, GREENE STOOD ALONE APPARENTLY NO OTHER REPUBLICANS HAVE THE APPETITE TO EXPEL YET ANOTHER SPEAKER IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS UNTIL TODAY. KENTUCKY CONGRESSMAN TOM MASSEY CHOSE TO JOIN FORCES WITH GREEN. HE PROMISED TO SPONSOR HER MOTION TO VACATE SPEAKER JOHNSON AFTER HE ANNOUNCED A PLAN TO ADVANCE THOSE FOREIGN AID BILLS THIS TO THE DYSFUNCTION IN THE HOUSE. ALL WHITE IS REPUBLICANS BAND TOGETHER TO DO THE ONLY THING THEY SEEM ABLE TO AGREE MANN, IMPEACH ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS. JOINING ME NOW IS THE RANKING MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND FORMERLY IMPEACHMENT MANAGER OF TRUMP'S SECOND IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. I WAS THINKING OF THE FACT TWO WEEKS AGO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THE IMPEACHMENT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS REACHING A DEAD END AND THEN I REALIZED YOU AND I HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER POLITICALLY MOTIVATED IMPEACHMENT. THE FACT WE HAVE TO CHOOSE AMONG THEM TELLS YOU SOMETHING ABOUT REPUBLICANS AGENDA HERE. >> THE MAYORKAS IMPEACHMENT WAS THE CONSOLATION PRIZE FOR THE WIN OF THE PARTY WHICH DID NOT GET THE JOE BIDEN IMPEACHMENT THEY WANTED AND THAT IS WHY THEY DID THIS INSTEAD. THE MAYORKAS IMPEACHMENT IS LACKING THE CENTRAL THING YOU NEED IN AN IMPEACHMENT CONSTITUTIONALLY WHICH IS TREASON, BRIBERY OR A HIGH CRIME MISDEMEANOR. THEY DON'T HAVE IT. THEY HAVE POLICY DIFFERENCES WITH SECRETARY MAYORKAS OR AT BEST THEY HAVE A CLAIM OF MALADMINISTRATION WHICH IS PRECISELY WHAT THE FRAMERS SAID YOU CAN'T IMPEACH SOMEONE OVER. >> LOOK AT THEM, THEY SEEM COMMITTED. THIS MORNING, SECRETARY MAYORKAS TESTIFIED AS THEY HELD THEIR ANNUAL HEARING ON THE DHS BUDGET REQUEST. EARLIER HE WORKED ON A BIPARTISAN BILL IN THE SENATE. HOUSE REPUBLICANS TEND THAT. NOW FACING THE IMPEACHMENT. HE APPEARS PRETTY UNPHASED BY THIS PROCESS. EARLIER HE SAID WHEN I SAY I'M NOT FOCUSED ON THE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS I ACTUALLY MEAN IT. I WILL SAY THIS, THAT IS MY HOPE THAT MY TIME IS NOT TAKEN AWAY FROM MY WORK. CLEARLY A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF THINGS ON SECRETARY MAYORKAS PLATE, THE PORTFOLIO HE HAS WHETHER IT'S THE U.S./MEXICO BORDER, INTERNATIONAL THREATS AND WHAT REPUBLICANS WANT HIM FOCUSED ON. >> IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, GIVEN THIS IS JUST A POLICY CONFLICT AT LEAST A DOZEN REPUBLICAN SENATORS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. THE PUBLIC IS DRAMATICALLY ON THE SIDE OF MAYORKAS AND THE BIPARTISAN SENATE DEAL WHICH WAS BLOWN UP AT THE LAST MINUTE BY MAGA REPUBLICANS AND DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE TRUMP DOESN'T WANT A BORDER SOLUTION, HE WANTS A BORDER CRISIS TO RUN AGAINST. HE'S GOT NOTHING ELSE IN THE TANK, HE'S RUNNING ON EMPTY BECAUSE HE CAN'T TALK ABOUT ABORTION ANYMORE BECAUSE THE WHOLE COUNTRY HAS SO DECISIVELY TURNED AGAINST HIM WHETHER WE TALK ABOUT KANSAS OR OHIO OR PENNSYLVANIA OR FLORIDA. THEY CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT SO IT IS JUST IMMIGRATION. HE ALSO HAS VLADIMIR PUTIN BREATHING DOWN HIS NECK BECAUSE PUTIN DOESN'T WANT $61 BILLION GOING TO THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE. REALLY WHAT HE'S PURSUING NOW IS AN AGENDA AND IT'S AMAZING TO SEE THE REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE JUST FOLLOWING HIM LIKE LEMMINGS. >> TODAY YOU HAD A CONGRESSMAN SAYING THIS. IN HIS WORDS, NOT PROJECTING STRENGTH AMID THE ONGOING CONFLICTS AND UKRAINE AND ISRAEL. >> THE WORLD IS ON FIRE AND HISTORY WILL JUDGE US BY OUR ACTIONS. WERE YOU CHAMBERLAIN OR CHURCHILL? >> HOW SERIOUSLY CAN YOU TAKE THEM WHEN THAT IS THEIR POSTURING AND YET THEIR OWN CAUCUS CAN'T COALESCE AROUND A FOREIGN AID BILL? >> I THINK THAT WAS REALLY DIRECTED AT MIKE JOHNSON, NOT JOE BIDEN. HE'S BEEN DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO TRY TO DISLODGE THE FOREIGN AID PACKAGE HE SENT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT'S MIKE JOHNSON WHO IS FALLEN CAPTIVE TO THE PRO PUTIN WHEN OF THE PARTY WHICH MIGHT BE DOMINANT IN THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS NOW BUT HE DOES SEEM TO EXTRICATE HIMSELF FROM IT WITH THE SUCCESSION OF SINGLE ISSUE BILLS SO WE WOULD GET AN UP OR DOWN VOTE ON UKRAINE. OF COURSE, THE BIG MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE PRETTY MUCH EVERY DEMOCRAT AND MAYBE AS MUCH AS 50% OF REPUBLICANS BUT CERTAINLY 30 OR 40%, BUT WE WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE A BIG MAJORITY DO IT. THAT'S WHAT MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN AND MATT GATES AND THE EXTREME RIGHT IS SO UPSET ABOUT. FOR ALL WE KNOW IT'S DONALD TRUMP WHO IS CALLING THE SHOTS ON THAT ONE. >> LET ME ASK BECAUSE THAT WAS THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT THE FACT THAT CONGRESSMAN MASSEY JOINING ARCHERY TAYLOR GREEN'S EFFORTS. ARE YOU HEARING MORE REPUBLICANS JOIN THEM? >> WELL, I'VE HEARD THERE ARE A COUPLE OTHERS IN THE WINGS THAT THEY'VE GOT READY TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR MOMENTUM, BUT UNDER THE MAGA RULES THAT SPEAKER McCARTHY HAD BACKED AND PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE CAUCUS WAS BEHIND ANY MEMBER OF THEIR CAUCUS CAN FILE A MOTION TO VACATE THE CHAIR MEETING TO TOPPLE THE SPEAKER. IT DOESN'T GIVE THE EXTREMISTS ELEMENTS IN THE PARTY REPORTING DIRECTLY TO DONALD TRUMP THE POWER TO DICTATE THE COURSE OF EVENTS. IT MAY BE JOHNSON IS FED UP WITH IT AND SAYS IF YOU WANT TO VACATE THE CHAIR GO AHEAD AND DO IT, BUT I'VE GOT TO MOVE FORWARD AT THIS POINT. HE HAS SEVERAL COMMITTEE CHAIRS WHO SEEM TO BE DETERMINED TO GET US A VOTE ON UKRAINE. THEY ARE STARTING TO BLOW THE WHISTLE ON HOW PUTIN'S PROPAGANDA HAS BEGUN TO SATURATE THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS AND YOU HAVE MEMBERS LIKE MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN AND LIKE MATT GATES WHO BASICALLY PARROT PUTIN'S TALKING POINTS. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN A COUPLE DAYS AGO SAID IT WAS ANTI- SOMATIC TO HOLD UP AID TO ISRAEL IN ORDER TO GET AID TO THE IN UKRAINE OR THE UKRAINIAN SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THIS IS JUST CLASSIC PUTIN SMEAR AND DISINFORMATION TACTIC AGAINST THE DEMOCRATIC NATION OF UKRAINE. THE ONLY NATION ON EARTH THAT HAS A JEWISH PRESIDENT OTHER THAN
