Mike Johnson’s Speakership Is an Opportunity … if We Unite Behind a Shutdown Strategy | Guest: Rep. Dan Bishop | 10/25/23

So who is Mike Johnson, the presumptive new speaker? I’m joined by Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.), who says that Johnson is probably the first bona fide social conservative to get into leadership and is genuinely a decent human being who is humble and respected. But does that translate into a strategic asset? Time will tell. But the way to make that happen is for the Freedom Caucus to unite behind an ironclad plan on the budget. I make the case for why the border should be the lead issue. There is new information indicating that Biden has let in tens of thousands of Middle Easterners just in the past year. We are facing unavoidable peril from the invasion, and if we cannot unite the House GOP behind a death match over that issue, then this entire exercise was a waste of time.
