Not meant as a bomb, you asked what seemed like a reasonable enough question. I gave it what was intended as my legitimate answer.

The point, which I thought would be kinda clear, is that as the hypothetical Speaker, there's not a point a, b, c that's a priority. It's about everything, and about recognizing that stopping any further advance by the most crucial threat facing the nation IS the priority. Not one thing, every bit of it. And if the (simplified) options are a) shut it all down completely or b) allowing those advances, then shut it all down indefinitely afaic.

Anything less and I'm not sure what the point of changing Speaker is/was.
