but some, like thomas massie from kentucky, think she's just great. >> it's an honor to be here with one of the hardest-fighting, most articulate members of our republican conference. >> jimmy: wow. the activator in his jheri curl is really working hard. [ laughter ] "take it from me, the wettest member of the republican conference." [ laughter ] the house is expected to vote on a motion to vacate next week, which would create yet another unnecessary mess. you know, the last time a congresswoman tried to take out a johnson, lauren boebert got thrown out of "beetlejuice." [ laughter ] and then, over in the senate, we have ted cruz, who president biden last week issued an executive order that would require airlines to give out refunds when they cancel a flight on you. and ted cruz, of course, is against that. cruz is co-sponsor of a bill that will make it harder for consumers to get a refund in the event of a last-minute delay or cancelation. isn't that great? he somehow manages to be on the wrong side of literally every issue. [ laughter ] you've almost got to admire his consistency.

congresswoman greene and congressman thomas massie and congressman paul gosar ended up being republicans voting against tabling the motion to vacate resolution. some of the test those folks have said it's because they have a rule of voting against procedural votes. and wanted an opportunity to vote on the actual resolution because it was privileged and they would vote against it. it was a pretty embarrassing developed for congressman for grain and she tried to spin it by saying republicans are on the record. you can see who is part of the unity party but i don't think she will run and try to offer another opportunity for ousting johnson anytime soon and that's the indication now. it did not go the way she had intended. also because there is not any must pass pieces of legislation coming up soon. that would be a catalyst for her having to spark this resolution before it was the government funding process and then it was fisa and then testing ukraine aid which are hot button issues that divide republicans bitterly. we don't add that until september but we had to do with government funding
