Mike Johnson torches 'absurd' criticism from Ilhan Omar

I mean, let's be honest about it, Joe Biden himself, I mean, Sean, he doesn't know how to use an iPhone, he probably doesn't know how to use a flip phone, I mean, he's not doing this, it's all about the people running their campaign for him and they will do anything to Pander and I tell you what is the amount of prama propaganda on Tik Tok. I mean, it's a trick, it's a propaganda factory that pushes this propaganda of China trying to divide the country. to destroy American Jews and the Biden administration, they are happy to accept it because they want the votes of these people and that is Senator Josh Holly, who I disagree with him on aid to Ukraine, he did not want to give it.

I totally agree. but when it comes to Tik Tok, he gets it and I really appreciate that. I almost feel at a disadvantage because I'm not in this, but everyone else is, and these prama things that are coming out, this news service, the algorithm. that profiles you uh I think it's definitely worth mentioning that's one of the things that's in the bill that Senator Johnson, excuse me, that President Johnson was able to pass the chamber signed by the Senate and by the President yesterday and Now it's official to join us. Along the way, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson Mr.

Speaker, thank you very much for joining us. Hello friend, it's great to hear your voice. Well, I'm in New York. You're smart enough to have left New York. I hope, how would you describe it? I just commend him for having the courage to go there and speak his mind with Congressman uh Des di bazito as well as with Mike Lawler to go there and with Virginia Fox and speak his mind. Were you surprised by the reaction he received? I guess I wasn't surprised, but I was certainly disappointed that we faced that mob and that's what it is, it's a mob rule that's allowed there on campus and they're terrorizing Jewish students and by the way, it's the same mafia, Brian, as Hamas officially. endorsed, I mean literally two hours before our press conference, Hamas issued a statement supporting these children and announcing them as the next generation of leaders in America.

God help us. I mean, what we're seeing on these college campuses across America is disgusting. It is unacceptable, it is not who we are as a country, no student of any race or religion should have to leave campus because it has become too dangerous, it is simply outrageous and the rampant antisemitism is something these administrators must be held accountable for immediately. . Well, one of your colleagues, not your peer, but one of your colleagues in Congress, Democratic Congresswoman Omar, whose daughter was kicked off campus and suspended and I think detained, said this briefly yesterday and it's not surprising that it came out.

Columbia University. and provoke um really more anger and hatred and endanger the lives of the young people who are in the Columbia University camp I see that you stirred things up in her mind it's

absurd

it's absolutely

absurd

that she says it's incredible that we go there to meet and speak on behalf of Jewish students. Security could be considered divisive either way. This is exactly the problem. In reality, it's an issue that should unite all elected officials, but some of these people are afraid to speak out. and others like my colleague, uh, Omar, are saying exactly the wrong thing.

Look, if these universities were held accountable and protected their students on campus, we wouldn't need to be there, we wouldn't need to talk, and the house has taken action. do everything in our power and we're going to do more, but we need everyone who has a platform, every elected official to be on the right side of this and unfortunately some of them are doing exactly the wrong thing, well some Democrats. like moscowitz gets it, he gets it, he's out there fighting for it Josh Gottheimer is fighting for it Senator Schumer, haven't you dealt with him much lately?

Where is the most powerful American Jew in political history? The majority leader in New York, where is he? It is a very important question. You know, he is the highest-ranking Jewish official in the history of our country. He has a huge megaphone and they should use it to protect the Jewish students. Look, we went to an Easter. food before we start our press conference and these students are afraid for their safety they can't go to class they can't walk around campus wearing a Star of David or they're attacked they're being harassed bullied um you know, it's getting it's getting in violence on some of these campuses and it's completely out of control, you know, we've sent legislation to the death of Chuck Schumer, we, the House Education and Workforce Committee, of course, have been having these oversight hearings high profile of these universities and their leaders hold them accountable and they have seen it, but we also passed legislation, we passed the deterrence law that shines a light on foreign money influencing American universities, we approved the Hamas terrorist act without immigration benefits , okay, that simply says eliminate the illegals who have supported the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7.

But Chuck Schumer is allowing those measures to sit on his desk and gather dust. He is strangely silent here why and we need him and the president to talk why you know why, but go ahead and say it right because you have a political problem, right, you have a prama wing that is emerging in your party and it terrifies you. intervene in the middle of that, but this is the moment for decisive moral leadership, this is not a gray area. This is good versus evil, we have to protect the physical safety of students, that's what's at stake here, it's chaos, mayhem and anarchy, and that's not who we are in this country, so Speaker Johnson, our guest, is traveling between appointments.

I had an important conversation, but Mr. President of Ukraine, you know that I have been strongly in favor of aid to Ukraine. I absolutely believe Ronald Reagan would have done it if we were still going back to the Cold War mentality. The United States should have never abandoned it, so uh, you get 30, you get 65 billion for Ukraine, you get more money for Israel, uh, I understand that the first billion is going to be passed. Can you give me an idea of ​​what we are shipping and what we are restocking? It is a very important point. Brian and I think this is lost on most people, but of the 60 billion that was dedicated to Ukraine, 48 billion of that 80% will be used for the replenishment of American weapons, stocks and facilities, our operations, It's us, it's American jobs. to build updated equipment and there's a lot of accountability, you know, we broke the Senate supplemental package into four parts and added some really important innovations and changes, including oversight and strict accountability for how we implement the legislation that Joe Biden finishes of signing on a law that requires a requirement from his office to present to Congress within 45 days a specific game plan a final strategy for Ukraine that we did not have before adding all that responsibility to it and remembering the The other 20% of Ukrainian funds we turned it into a loan and that is something that President Trump, among others, has advocated for and that makes sense.

These are not blank checks, it's a very different thing, but to your point, Brian, it's very important. It is a moment in the history of our country and the world when the world is on fire because Joe Biden is such a weak leader on the world stage, by the way, all of our adversaries are working together and acting so provocatively China Russia Iran even North Korea they are coordinating these efforts and if the United States backs down right now we disrupt the entire world order since World War II, the leadership of the Free World has been placed on our shoulders, that is what Ronald Reagan said, we have to recognizing that doesn't mean we're the world's cops, but if we're going to go after America as the first policies, it's critical to take into account our own National Security, but here's what's different and I don't have to tell you that. there is a large contingent in the House and people like JD Vance in the Senate, uh, and no one doubts that JD Vance's service to our country is a remarkable personal story and his intellect, but he wants nothing to do with this help , what is your message and not that?

All the guys have to agree on everything, but this is something fundamental that conservatives used to agree on. I, JD Vance, is a friend, I love him, he's great and he's very smart and all that, but we see him very differently. There are people in our party who now describe themselves as isolationists. I'm not putting words in JD's mouth that he can speak for himself, but there are people who believe that it is not America first, but only America, that that is not an acceptable result because what happens is listening, the only way The reason terrorists and tyrants are kept at bay is because there is the perception of a strong United States, the perception that we are the great superpower is what keeps peace on the world stage, it is Reagan, it is peace via We have the strength to send that message to the world and let them know that the United States will not back down because if it does, Brian, everything escalates and we will end up in another world war conflict, you know, if Vladimir Putin was allowed to march through from Ukraine. would take keev in a short period of time and would be on the border of NATO states like him if the Baltic states and Poland were there and our generals, our four star generals who are in charge of that Reg, anticipate that our cost increase. grow exponentially because there would be a demand for American troops there right now, a small investment to keep Putin at bay and get this to a point where Trump can negotiate a deal is exactly the right strategy and we have no choice as to What about the Repository Act for Russian assets that have been seized and detained from yachts around the world. uh uh.

I know that most of the money is in Europe. What have you done about it? Yeah, well, we added it to the legislation and we have you a little less than 10 billion and that's what we can use it on, you know, the assets seized from the corrupt Russian oligarchs who are funding the resistance in Ukraine is just pure poetry, so you're G to take that 10 billion and give it to zalinski, well, yeah, us. We're going to use it for the Ukrainian effort that will be part of the funding that is part of the law that was just signed, that we will convert that, and since we have it, I think six billion and something in that range is a start. but there is more than 100 billion or more that are out there, according to estimates, 300 billion is held in accounts of our European allies and what we are trying to do is send a message that they need to help and use those funds as well.

I think that's the right outcome here and I think it makes a lot of sense to a lot of people, so are you also going to condemn every time a rocket hits Russia on Russian territory? Yeah, I mean, listen to what Ukraine is. trying to do what I think is their plan is to use the attacks on them and the weapons systems that, by the way, they specifically asked us for a long time that Joe Biden would not send, they will have it now and they will be able to push back, they are rockets of greater reach, but their goal is to defend their own land, they are not the aggressor, it is Vladimir Putin and the Russians who are doing that.

Their goal is to push them back and keep them in the Bay and I believe they will and I hope that's where it ends, we need to get this to a point of peace resolution to stop the bloodshed and stop the madness but I fear Brian we won't be able to do it We even have a strong leader in the White House again and I believe that will be done. Trump in January. President Mike Johnson, thank you very much.
