| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people it spell again. |
| 0:05.0 | So today, we're going to talk about MTG looking to House Johnson as Speaker. |
| 0:13.0 | Well, it looks like outgoing Marjorie Taylor Green might have one more trick in her burn book on her way out the door, telling Speaker |
| 0:22.9 | of the House Johnson that you can't sit with us. |
| 0:27.1 | Our rumor mill and some lightly sourced reporting says that she's feeling out other Republican |
| 0:32.6 | members of the House to see who would be willing to support a motion to vacate the chair. |
| 0:39.3 | Under new rules put in place after the fiasco that occurred with McCarthy, nine Republicans |
| 0:45.3 | are needed to bring about a vote on removing him. |
| 0:49.3 | Despite Representative Green, repeatedly saying it's definitely not true, that she's building a coalition to take down Johnson. |
| 0:58.2 | The rumor persists, and apparently a source on Capitol Hill told the press, quote, |

| 1:47.9 | she'd have a hard time finding the initial nine. But there's an almost certainty in the rumor |
| 1:54.1 | mill that if it was brought to the floor, Johnson would get the boot. That might sound hard to believe, but remember, the only |
| 2:04.8 | reason Johnson is even in his position is because Democrats saved him last time. Representative |
| 2:12.5 | Elise Stefonic of New York, who was once a close ally of Johnson, but who is now mounting a run for the |
| 2:19.7 | governor's office, seemed to indicate she didn't think Johnson could really make it through a challenge |
| 2:25.6 | when she said, quote, I believe that the majority of Republicans would vote for new leadership. |
