speaker johnson is grappling with is how to maintain his fairly tenuous grip on the speakership and marjorie taylor greene and former president trump are fairly close. it's worth noting former president trump's urging and cajoling did not save president mccarthy's speakership, but to the extent johnson can appear to marjorie taylor greene to also be an ally of trump, that will help him forget about the policy. it will help him hold onto a speakership that can be put under threat quite easily. >> quite easily indeed. ashley, miles, eugene, thank you all so much for getting us started. >>> when we come back, donald trump has tried three times this week alone to delay his hush money trial. it is wednesday. >>> and later, prices are still going up faster than anyone wants, what today's new inflation report means for the economy in an election year. >>> "the 11th hour" just getting underway on this wednesday night. is wednesday night. from chavez and huerta to striking janitors in the 90s to today's fast-food workers. californians have led the way. now, $20/hour is here. thanks to governor newsom

. >> what happens to marjorie taylor greene. does she remain influential in another iteration of a republican majority, say there are, you know, ten plus vote, 20 plus votes in a republican majority down the line, and marjorie taylor greene is in office. does she get sidelined after these antics? does matt gaetz get sidelined? and i'm talking about a theoretical future. >> depends where ten or 20 new people are they hard liners, moderates, in a more moderate and more center right house republican majority, greene's stock goes down, as does matt gaetz. if you add hard liner freedom caucus types, it probably grows a little bit or becomes a crowd of that discussion. marjorie taylor greene, much of what she says is not worth covering, not worth talking about, but listen, she does have a vote and the one vote and the ability to file a motion to vacate is as important as anybody else, even if you disagree with her. she can trigger that vote and that's a powerful thing to do. >> in a different congress, it would be certainly different

congresswoman marjorie taylor greene pushed this very specific lie on twitter. it feels like republican elected officials have just taking russian disinformation and going with it. here was mike tuner the sunday. >> it is absolutely true. we see coming from russia attempts to mask communication that's are anti-ukraine and pro russian messages. some of which are uttered on the house floor. >> how about this from the republican leader of the house foreign affairs committee? i think russian propaganda has made its way into the united states and affected a good chunk of my base. republicans used to be the hawks in congress. they used to be reliably anti- russian. now they are pushing a very specific, very pro russian version of american isolationism. it has become a litmus test to see if you are maga enough to make it into today's republican party. >> roger wicker will spare no tax dollars in ukraine. he handed $40 billion to ukraine. america is being invaded. yet liberal matt dolan thinks border security should take a backseat to biden's agenda in ukraine. ukraine
