from iran? first of all i have no plans rightav now that working us in seven or 14,000 additional troops to the middle east. but what i ve said consistently to congress isn t to others is sit on a weekly basis, a daily basis, we monitor it s happening in the persian gulf. we watch what ironic doing so we understand what they are their intentions are. what i am trying to do is number one assure our allies such as riese saudis and others in the region. number two freedom of the seas, number three hold up the international rules -based order. so what i am trying to do from the defense department is to deter iranian bad behavior. if you ll recall several months ago, they were going after ships in the street, they shot down one of our drones. we reached a.where we deterred further iranian bad behavior. but as we see bad behavior and intentions changing, i will change our posture for that deterrence. he said there are certain things they aren t doing.
damocles. do you think that it s the kind of thing we will evolve over, or it will be used as essentially this gender means of shaming women? that was my biggest concern of coming out of this. the pictures used against me were not even ones that i knew and had taken. they were ones i didn t know existed and you can tell that from looking at the images. but i have taken images like that, right, and i m not even ashamed to say i ve taken images and sent images like that. and i think the numbers show regardless of your age over 80% of people have done that. so let s not pretend this is some taboo thing people aren t doing. but who is it being used against? and it s overwhelmingly women. but mine is the first real example where it s been used against a public figure, especially a political figure and the images are published by a mainstream publication, by a
always rightly concerned about the long history of corruption in ukraine and the president was also concerned about this idea that european countries aren t doing as much as the united states is doing to help ukraine deal with the challenges they face. so those are the two key things. like i said before, when you look at special envoy ambassador volker what he said in his interview and opening statements that have been released from the other we interviewed it s clear. no quid pro quo as mulvaney said. no linkage between security assistance dollars for ukraine and any type of investigation. jon: you said the american people will see through this impeachment inquiry. when you look at the headlines in the major papers they re constantly screaming about impeachment and so forth. do you really think that the folks back home are going to reject the idea that impeachment is warranted here? i do. i was back home in ohio on friday speaking to a group of
to begin with. fine. a house impeachment inquiry, there is no defense lawyer present in the room. there is no evidence presented by the defendant. this is an absurd argument the white house is making. that s exactly what i wanted to look at. and not talk about the series of developments in the last 24 hours. we can go with substance for sure. i look forward to doing that. but we also need to shoot that down. because how does that when you see this letter that they released from their lawyers i mean, the white house counsel, they make all of these charges the democrats aren t doing. so i think it s helpful to say those aren t supposed to be happening yet. correct. i mean, look. it s also worth remembering the kangaroo court talking point we ve heard earlier. not based on captain co kangaroo. important clarification for those of you not up on the legal
everybody who supports president donald trump is some sort of unhinged person that is going to take over the national mall and start a new civil war? if he s not reelected? it s completely absurd. i would challenge every single person who said that from the washington post reported to the person from the university who actually go to a real trump rally. to meet these people in real life. these are patriotic, law-abiding citizens of all colors, by the way, to insinuate that they would bring the civil war to america because they don t like the results of the election is completely insane to me. what they have done over the past few years is they have demonized people who have voted for the president. they have demonized people on the right. they have demonized conservatives to obscure obfuscate the fact they have no new ideas and aren t doing anything for the american people. tucker: there s a huge swath of america whose life the client down the expectancy is declining. there was ten
