ukraine is in desperate need. the white house announced the first $1 billion will be mostly for short range antiaircraft missiles. we know there is a need in ukraine. there would be artillery, those big guns, 105 millimeters, 155 millimeters. and anti-armor systems and mines to push back at the russians. what is not on that list -- long range antiaircraft systems. the white house did announce that -- biden and his administration were able to get those in there. we did not see patriot missiles. big deal because the missiles that russia can send can take out areas around kyiv, like the power plant. they were in need of antiaircraft missiles potentially like patriot missiles. we are waiting to see if the biden administration acknowledges more of those kinds of long-range, more expensive weapons will be sent soon. amna: it was a journey to get here. this took over a half year. what does that tell us about the capital right now? lisa: remarkable in this time of partisanship that national security was a unifying cause.

lots of money for israel and taiwan. $61 billion for ukraine. how did mike johnson defied his right flank? >> quite the 180 over the last year. this guy embedded himself with the freedom caucus through his entire tenure in the house and voted consistently against every ukraine package that came up since the start of the war yet is now putting his speakership on the line over the issue. he has credited things with this transformation. the first is that he is receiving high-level intelligence briefings. when you are the speaker you are part of the gang of eight so you get the same intel briefings the president gets. that impressed upon him the stakes of the war in ukraine and what would happen if the u.s. doesn't send weapons and funding to them. he talked personally about his own son, to start at the u.s. naval academy. one of the arguments for aid to ukraine was that we are not putting american boots on the ground. you heard the speaker say when he was giving the press conference, i would rather american bullets than american boys go to ukraine.
