After strike on Iran, Trump focuses on his megabill

Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, in a brief phone interview with ABC News on Wednesday, implicitly criticized how California Sen. Alex Padilla and New York City Comptroller Brad Lander acted when they were handcuffed or detained by federal agents on Thursday and Tuesday, respectively.

Youngkin said "as elected officials, have to hold ourselves to a standard where we are not addressing and potentially be seen as interrupting law enforcement in their work. And I just think that's the standard we have to hold ourselves to.”

Asked if he was thinking specifically of Padilla and Lander when saying that, Youngkin responded, “I'm commenting on any elected official who interferes with the execution of law enforcement of their duties."

"It's just inappropriate. And it is appropriate to express disagreement. It's our First Amendment ... But as elected officials, we also have to hold ourselves to a high standard; we can express our disagreements, but we can't interfere with law enforcement,” Youngkin continued.

President Donald Trump was asked about the rift between conservatives, including Tucker Carlson and Sen. Ted Cruz, over U.S. involvement in the Iran-Israeli conflict.

The president downplayed the infighting.

"My supporters are for me. My supporters are 'Make America great again. My supporters don't want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon," he said.

Trump said that Carlson apologized "the other day because he thought he said things that were a little bit too strong, and I appreciated that."

"You're going to have to make a choice, because it's possible that you're going to have to fight for them not to have nuclear," he added.

President Donald Trump, in an Oval Office event, said he'd be having a Situation Room meeting soon on Iran and Israel.

"We're having a meeting downstairs in an hour," Trump said.

The president was asked if he's made a decision yet on what to do.

"I have ideas as to what to do but I haven't made a final -- I like to make the final decision one second before it's due, because things change, especially with war.

Trump participated Wednesday in the inaugural flag raising ceremony on the newly installed flagpole on the South Lawn.

As the flag was raised, the president saluted it and surveyed the crowd including his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Middle East envoy, asking, “How do you like it?”

Trump announced earlier he was having two flagpoles installed and he was paying for them. He told the group that there would be flowers planted around the flagpole soon. A second flagpole was being erected Wednesday afternoon.

A renovation project to replace grass with pavers in the Rose Garden is also underway.
