---

Major Garretting: The speaker of the house, Mike Johnson, who joined this morning from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Sir Mr Speaker, nice to see you. I appreciate your time. The responsibilities of speakers remain healthy. He knows that. The previous speakers I cover, but feel very heavy after the events of this week. I just want to ask you, Mr. Madam Speaker, how are you?

Speaker Johnson: I’m doing well, great. Thank you for asking. No doubt, it was a difficult week in the world. Certainly, it was heard in Capitol Hill. There is a mixture of, you know, wrath, and grief, or fear, and many people. Throw a great shadow across the country and the capital city. But what I know, great, that my good friend Charlie would not want to eat anyone for us in despair. He wanted us to go forward with boldness, that was his message, and to do it in love. And I think, I hope, a message that goes on in the coming days.

Major Garretting: It is not usually a showbreading of something that the Connecticut Sound’s Sound Centerias and Connecticut’s Fun Republicans, but there is no place in our actions, without blindness of our politics. ” Do you believe in Capitol Hill there will be a way to find any form of memory of the Bipartisan of Charlie Kirk?

Speaker Johnson: There will be. He knows, we had a minute of prayer and meditation that was quiet on Wednesday within a hour of his pass. There will be, I’ve been involved in the big vigil here in Baton Rouge Elsu, my Alma Mater, Friday night. Today, we will have great, confident, praying and thoughtful thinking and Capitol Hill’s hill reflections in Kennedy Center. There will be the representations of members and a prayer moment that I will earn on Monday night. This will continue. I think the world needs to see Congress leaders and platform leaders across the country telling the truth and bringing peace to this situation. We should file a complaint, as Lincoln remind us many years ago, the better angels among us all. And I think this is the real hour of America [TECHNICAL DISRUPTION] – with verification. And I think one of the ways to do that, great, accepting Charlie Kirk’s way because while he liked a strong argument and was motivated by love for someone else because at the table. And I think everyone will be reminded of that model.

Major Garrett: Smal Speaker, talk about the name of the past. It is still the cups of congress members in the ways I have never had before. They talk openly. They have already been canceled events. Some members talk about whether or not or not in their family discussions to seek renewal. How do you feel about this specific concern for your membership, Republican and Democrat?

Speaker Johnson: Yes, I’ve been talking to most days ago and I try to calm the senses, so that everyone has the necessary security, that the resources will be there in their stay and safety. We check all the options of that. But again, there you know, and you know that it takes some measure of the bold to go out again- and lead. I mean that our first respondents did every day, our military members do daily and political statistics. But I think that we all take these trends together and downgrade the Rhetoric, we, you know, quit the idea that, you know, the policy conflicts somehow introduce some words. I mean calling Nazi people and Fascists doesn’t help. Behold, there are some people who were postponed to the community and when they see leaders using this kind of language, often now, even more, they raise them into action. We should see what is real and we consider it properly. And I have a heart concerned, great, and to see that most partners on both aisle sides are up and say. I think this would be a change, knight, using Charlie’s name, the world, and I hope that the truth is.

Gork Garrett: Does that change, from your higher place, Mr. Madam Speaker, because I know you have a long discussion with President Trump’s own?

Speaker Johnson: Yes, of course. Behold, the President knew Charlie. He was like a family member for the blocks. Many of us felt that close association with him, and he admitted the way to discussing Charlie’s discussion in the debate. And you’ve heard you to say. He was responsible for a righteous man, and I think the best way to continue to continue doing the thing, and not the free market for ideas. Because I think that I think that fulfills our best principles, our Judeo-Christian-Christian-Christian-Christian life, our conflict talk, and we should return to that.

Major Garrett: Mr. Madam Speaker, several issues that are waiting before Congress, not at least one keeping government. I know you choose to clean up seven weeks, but there are some issues of obstacles. Embassing Obamacare tax subsidy. There was pressure on this support for Lindsey Graham’s support weekend, the Republican of the South Carolina, Senate. Is it possible, from your place in the veletery, enter something to keep the government open?

Speaker Johnson: well, listen, worked hard in the house to restore the ordinary order in the government provision process, and that is a long time in Capitol Hill. But I am encouraged, in a bipartisan fashion, our supplier committee has passed all 12 money to budget. We’ve got three under the house. The Senate exceeds a few, and last week, Savota went to the conference [TECHNICAL DISRUPTION] –

Major Garrett: – Okay, Mr. Madam Speaker, I believe there is a technical glitch that has forced us to lose your sound. We will take a quick break, and we will go back to the Somy Mike Royal Johnson in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, just a moment.

[COMMERCIAL BREAK]

Major Garrett: Welcome welcomed to cope with the nation. Because the technical gramlins live everywhere, entering into my speaking-hand discussion of the Speaker John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John John Johnson. Sir Mr Speaker, I’m glad I go back. It was in the mid-responding to Obamacare tax support, Russian sanctions and government support process. Please continue.

Speaker Johnson: Yes, I apologize for interruption there. Listen, we are very encouraged to be able to restore normal allocation, ordinary order process –

Major Garrett: – OK, but Will We Do This? Do those two other things be added to the process, Mr. Madam Speaker?

Speaker Johnson: We have to see. I’m supposed to build consistency with everything, but I think we will need a temporary temporary. Clean ch will allow more time to get all of this. We hope indeed that the Democrats will continue with that, because, if not, they do not have any excuse. If they shut the government down, they can be their human decision to do so.

Major Garrett: And when Lindsey Graham, South Carolina, says, as he did this weekend, now is the time to be asked under Russia. President Trump opened the door on taxes facing India and China as a way of making the Economic Loverage to end war in Ukraine. Where is you standing in all that?

Speaker Johnson: Listen, I believe in times of despair. I mean, I think there is a big wish of that in Congress, so we are willing to work with the White House and our Senate colleagues to do that and have respect to do it, in person.

Major Garrett: Do you expect the President to give you a green light or Congress to do this in its commitment?

Speaker Johnson: Well, Congress cannot do this in their own voluntary because, well, the president will need to sign whatever we do in the law. So it should be together, but we postpone the big commander. I mean, the President is a strong and brave leader in the world. He has taken a vow of worldwide and other disputes that no human is able to do, so we hope that he can use that same way to bring, eventually, the end of the war in Ukraine. Everyone in the United States wants that bloodshed to the end, and President Trump forces that, and exactly [TECHNICAL DISRUPTION]-

Major Garrett: It’s okay. Sir Mr Speaker, I’m told that technical hardships continue to appear, so we will end our conversation here to save and save our audiences from expert gremlins. Sir Mr Speaker, I appreciate the time. Thank us for joining us with a nation’s face.
