The following is transcribed from the video audio:

Speaker Johnson has made clear that they’re not even going to talk about Ukraine until the border is addressed
And he’s made clear that it’s HR2 or bust
So how’s the president going to navigate that in today’s meeting
He’s not going to be the only person in the room
You get done without Speaker Johnson and her colleagues at work
I’m saying you’re saying if he wants to talk about something else, like border security, how can the president manage the conversation
And I think folks understand that there is a national security importance of having this meeting
Can you talk about how the president reused humanitarian parole for asylum seekers
Does he believe that asylum seekers should be able to stay in this country until their cases are heard
Look, I want to be, and I get the question, I just want to be super careful here because I don’t want to get into what’s being discussed in Congress
