Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Wednesday she would call a vote next week on ousting House Speaker Mike Johnson, forcing her colleagues to choose sides in a difficult showdown after Democratic leaders announced they would provide the votes to save the Republican speaker's job.

00:00 I want to know when this town is going to give a damn about Americans.
00:04 And that's what this is really about.
00:07 Well there's one thing I know.
00:09 There's one thing I know.
00:12 If we get President Trump back in the White House in January of 2025, and we are lucky
00:19 enough to earn the trust again from voters in America to have a Republican majority in
00:25 this House of Representatives, we have a job to do.
00:30 We cannot let people down again.
00:32 We cannot fail President Trump.
00:35 And this cannot happen.
00:37 The MAGA agenda that I believe in, the Make America Great Again agenda that I support
00:43 and Americans support, and the whole reason why Republicans are going to turn out and
00:49 vote in November because they support President Trump.
00:53 We need leaders in the House of Representatives that are going to get this done.
00:58 Not working for Hakeem Jeffries, not working for Joe Biden, and not going to be twisted
01:04 and lulled into continuing the disgusting practices of Washington, D.C.
01:10 Mike Johnson is not capable of that job.
01:12 He has proven it over and over again.
01:14 I think every member of Congress needs to take that vote and let the chips fall where
01:20 they may.
01:22 And so next week I am going to be calling this motion to vacate.
01:25 Absolutely calling it.
01:27 I can't wait to see Democrats go out and support a Republican speaker and have to go
01:31 home to their primaries and have to run for Congress again, having supported a Republican
01:37 speaker, a Christian conservative.
01:40 I think that will play well.
01:41 I'm excited about it.
01:43 And I also can't wait to see my Republican conference show their cards and show who we
01:47 are.
01:48 I challenge my colleagues to think about it this weekend because, as Marjorie Taylor
01:55 Greene said, we're coming back and we're voting on this next week.
01:59 And you get to have the choice if you're a Republican.
02:02 Are you going to embrace Hakeem Jeffries like Mike Johnson has?
02:07 Are you going to embrace the Uniparty like Mike Johnson has when you come back next week?
02:13 Or are you going to fight for Americans who gave us the majority?
