Stuart Varney: Do you have a problem with the White House limiting your access to information, sir?

Rep. Pfluger: No, they're right to limit it. Think about the success of this operation from an operational security standpoint. Can you imagine them sharing this information with Rashida Talib in advance of the attack—somebody who leads anti-Semitic parades around the country? I mean, they need to limit it. And by the way, U.S. Code specifically says that they have 48 hours to then notify Congress, which they did. So, who is this deep state leaker that was solely using this information to denigrate the President and to downplay the success of this event? Which, by the way, was a massive strategic success. So, I have no problem with it. We're going to continue to do oversight. We need to do oversight, but they also have a need to protect Airmen, to protect our troops, and to get the maximum effectiveness out of these operations. This was a big surprise for the world, and rightfully so; they protected the information.

Stuart Varney: Do you expect much from the meeting that Trump says will take place next week? I don't know who he's going to meet with or where, but what can you expect when Khomeini is saying no surrender?

Rep. Pfluger: Well, the Iranians under Khomeini and their terroristic regime are the weakest that they've ever been. They have zero leverage. The only acceptable answer that the world must demand from them is a complete denuclearization, a complete withdrawal from their terrorist ambitions, and rejoining the world stage in a way that they can be a good neighbor and a good country. This regime has led them down the wrong path for 40 years. So I trust President Trump his ability to leverage them and get them to that answer. Do not underestimate his ability to do that. But that doesn't mean that we're going to immediately trust Iran, because we know that they have, for many, many decades, tried to terrorize the region and the world.
