defense bill negotiator with the senate. if you had voted no you wouldn t be on the conference committee? of course not. that just wouldn t make sense. reporter: the speaker defended his decision to name marjorie taylor greene as part of that conference committee even though she is not a member of the house armed services committee, and even though she told me she plans to advocate to pull back u.s. support for ukraine in its war against russia, a position that does not have much support in congress. he said simply, he is naming people who are reflective of the full republican conference, and also, jake, he claimed that he is not being driven to the right by his members. he said he s simply allowing the house to work its will. manu raju on capitol hill for us, thank you so much. and joining me to discuss is the democratic congressman, adam smith of washington, the ranking democrat on the house armed services committee. congressman, you voted against the national defense autho
