Hey, John, thanks for having me this morning. | |
| Two days after those strikes and with Congress headed back to Washington today, the House and Senate are both in. | ||
| What is the message coming out of the White House today? | ||
|

|
The message from the White House is that this was an incredibly successful strike. | |
| The United States and President Trump specifically himself have touted the role that not only those B-2 bomber pilots, but also the hundreds of other aircraft pilots who took part in this operation. | ||
| And look, President Trump has been simple. | ||
| He does not want to see Iran retaliate against either Israel or U.S. forces, and he is adamant that this regime cannot obtain a nuclear weapon. | ||
| If they take actions towards either of those aims, I would expect to see additional U.S. military actions here in the coming week. | ||
| And C-SPAN viewers saw and heard Carolyn Levitt's comments this morning when she spoke to reporters. | ||
| It was about 20 minutes ago there at the White House saying that the president's posture has not changed despite the true social post last night in which he was talking about the potential for regime change in Iran. | ||
| She said our military posture has not changed, said that she was closely monitoring, that the White House is closely monitoring the Straits of Hormuz and Iran's actions. | ||
| Are you expecting we're going to hear more from President Trump himself today? | ||
|

|
It's certainly a possibility. | |
| Look, the president has been hunkered down this past week. | ||
| He loves to speak to us in the Oval Office, but given the fluidity of this situation, I do not expect him to speak right now. | ||
| Again, he gave that speech 10 p.m. on Saturday night. | ||
| That was a sort of a victory moment in the crosshair. | ||
| And again, we do not know just how Iran will interact right now. | ||
| If there is some dealing behind the scenes, perhaps we get an optimistic, positive President Trump in the afternoon. | ||
| But right now, they want to see where the chips fall. | ||
| At this point, what do we know about President Trump's schedule today? | ||
| The Vice President, Pete Hegset, Marco Rubio. | ||
| What are you expecting at the White House today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, they're keeping things clean. | |
| And like you mentioned earlier today, Caroline Levitt already spoke to reporters. | ||
| The president will convene his National Security Council. | ||
| Again, we do not know if that will be in the Situation Room or perhaps in the Cabinet room. | ||
| But again, the schedule is light. | ||
| We know VP Vance flew out to California late last week, but I imagine all of the top players are going to stay close to home here in D.C. to be able to react to any situation that might arise here in the next few hours. | ||
| And then how does this all change the calculus for the NATO summit that's kicking off in Brussels tomorrow, I believe? | ||
| And what will be the representation of the city? | ||

| Would you pray with me? | ||
| God of mercy and compassion. |
