Speaker of the House Mike Johnson

Mike Johnson on Hannity: 12 key lines from the new House speaker’s interview. The newly anointed speaker gave the Fox News host a peek into his thinking.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, the previously little-known Louisiana Republican who claimed the chamber’s gavel this week after 22 days of chaos, gave a wide-ranging interview to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday night. Here are Johnson’s top 12 lines from that interview.

1. President Joe Biden

“If you look at a tape of Joe Biden making an argument in the Senate Judiciary Committee a few years ago and you see a speech that he delivers now, there’s a difference. Again, it’s not a personal insult to him. It’s just reality.”

2. The Biden administration

“I think it’s been a failed presidency.”

3. Foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel

“I told the staff at the White House today that our consensus among House Republicans is that we need to bifurcate those issues.”

4. Foreign policy

“We can’t allow Vladimir Putin to prevail in Ukraine because I don’t believe it would stop there. It would probably encourage and empower China to perhaps make a move on Taiwan. We have these concerns.”

5. U.S. boots on the ground in Israel

“It’s a very delicate situation; it changes by the hour. We’re watching it very closely. We certainly hope that it doesn’t come to boots on the ground.”

6. Palestinian aid

“They use the Palestinians as shields. They don’t even provide the people with clean drinking water. We’re supposed to believe they’re going to use U.S. aid for humanitarian purposes? Count me as a skeptic, OK.”

7. Biden impeachment

“If, in fact, all the evidence leads to where we believe it will, that’s very likely impeachable offenses.”

8. China

“China is a near peer-to-peer adversary to us right now, and their goal is to rebuild the empire. So we’re doing everything we can to ensure we maintain our military superiority.”

9. Motion to vacate

“I think we’re going to change it.”

10. Stopgap budget measure

“We’re working through this with the ideas and trying to ensure that if another stopgap measure is required, that we do it with certain conditions.”

11. Gay marriage

“This has been settled by the Supreme Court in the Obergefell opinion in 2015. So, that’s the decision. ... I’m a constitutional law attorney, I respect that and we move forward.”

12. Abortion

“There’s no national consensus for the people on what to do with that issue on a federal issue for certain.”

Let's make America great again and re-elect President Donald John Trump in 2024 to be our 47th President to serve for the 2nd time as the President of these United States! 

GFY

quality retort by a moron as always 

@philschnaars

 Same 4 your response

Huffpost reveals Johnson's positions are out of step with most Americans on 2020 election, abortion, LGBTQ rights, guns and Obamacare.

Stooping to the lowly HuffPost again. A radical left "news" outlet, and I say "news" loosely, says a Republican is out of step. Who woulda thought?!!

Too funny.

@UNIMAN

 and yet you watch fox news and newsmax and go on truth social.

Go figure 

@UNIMAN

@Brooklyncapper

 
assuming what he watches if anything is typical leftist idiot behavior 

You know someday in the future I can see the speaker of the house Mike Johnson become the President of these United States!

He is very smart, articulate, and has very good common sense and he is fully on board in keeping America great! 

Never watched Newsmax or the old Onan, etc. Actually never into politics. Made a comment in the cfb forum back in 2019 and was pounced on. Your a fascist, a nazi, nazi knee pads in the mail! Ohhh, is that so? Not one to walk away I do my best to keep your shitty politics out of the cfb forum but have no problem attacking the lies in the political forum. And it's sooo easy. 

Trump's tariffs were soo bad. 

Trump's deficit is ohhhh sooo high!  

Trump's remain in Mexico sooo cruel! 

You know I would never want Trump as my neighbor. Guy is mouthy, pushy, reminds me of the 1970's stereotype New Yorker you would see on tv. But that kind of superficial personality does not cloud my judgement on the job he does. That's a whole different thing that many cannot seem to separate in their heads. He called the news media out and they turned on him big time.

Google all the Trump's tariffs are so bad. Then ask yourself why Biden has kept them. Because steel and manufacture unions said they would not support Biden if he did pulled them as the tariffs saved American Union jobs. 

Ford just came to agreement with the UAW. That means pay increases for union workers. And that also means those wage increases will be eventually passed on to vehicle buyers. Do we see Bloomberg, NYT, CNN, etc telling us how bad it is for the UAW to get raises? Same impact as a tariff. 

It's pretty obvious to those with open minds. 

@UNIMAN

 Thanks so much sir for your strong valid points, how can anyone refute them, if they attempt to do so it will only expose their dishonesty. I just admire people who bring out the facts and nothing but the facts, it just illustrates how honest they are. 

A classic Corky zinger 

Go figure 

@UNIMAN

I'm about to refute him right now. Watch this.

@UNIMAN

 You're my bro but you're wrong about one thing... I think Trump would make a rather nice neighbor. He's probably a decent hang.

@StumpTownStu

I agree, people like #45 don't shit where they eat,,,they understand how the food chain chains.

On the other hand, if Bill or Hillary don't like their neighbors,,,they end up on milk cartons, or worse, the morgue. 

-6600 odds Deezy shows up later today frolicking in some new lace outfit hoping for some BBC  attention

Damn Stuart!

You just cannot keep my name out of your mouth. Darnell constantly on your mind.   Permanent damage on your brain. 

Deezy Darnell owns you. 

^^^ could not resist,,,didnt even have the testicular fortitude to wait 15 minutes 

Sure couldn't Stu. I was actually missing you and Pack for a couple of days. Interesting that neither of you seemed to post in here for a couple of days, then poof here you both show up same thread same time.

Glad to have you and your split personalities back. Darnell was missing you. 

What's next?? 

@DeezyAZ81

Ladies and gentlemen, prime example,  not even 15 minutes this time before his reply, F5 F5 F5 F5:

We can't talk to you when you constantly, passionately crave chocolate chalking whether we post or not,,, got it, thanks 

You know that could be true. I wonder what spending say two weeks with him in his settings would be like? Hmmm.

And with that I have an observation would like to share. We are all different. Have different opinions and different experiences. Each of us has a "bubble in which we reside", a comfort zone. Find the media and the internet cater to our comfort zones way too much. It's hurting us as Americans and pitting ourselves against each other. Our bubbles in many cases way too tight. And they all do it, be careful. Recently blew out my cookies to clean up my browser. It's amazing how things like Yahoo change. They feed you what they think you want to see, keep you in your interest/comfort zone.
