Mike Johnson

He's a tough guy.

He's smart.

He's pragmatic.

He'll get the job done for the president and continue this agenda.

And congrats to both of them.

Christie will have, I think, a great role to play in that special envoy position and will continue to advance the America First agenda together.

If that happened, Iran was very likely to target our troops.

That may address the question of why now?

Why not two weeks ago?

Why not two months from now?

The president, though, did not want to put our troops in harm's way.

The more fundamental question, though, is why?

Why did we have to carry out this operation against Iran?

Oh, absolutely.

Yes.

I just want to say...

I am more fearful than ever after this briefing that we may be putting boots on the ground and that troops from the United States may be necessary to accomplish objectives that the administration seems to have.

But I also am no more clear on what the priorities are going to be of the administration going forward.

whether it is destroying the nuclear capacity of Iran or simply the missiles or regime change or stopping terrorist activities.

And I think the administration owes it to the American people to have briefings, not just for members of Congress, but for the American public.
