or should he drop out if he s convicted? if it s a long way to that decision, i promised to answer that question if that approaches it s a possibility that a judge would even throw this case out before we even go to trial, so i don t want to talk about hypotheticals and all this. what i want to tell you about is the american people are struggling under the failed policies of the biden administration, at home and abroad and in an open forum in iowa, where the caucuses take place where the national conversation has always begun, historically about the future leadership of the country. this never came up. i mean, i honestly have to tell you that i think this is an outrage. but i also think at a time when the american people are struggling so much that this will only further served to divide our country. and wolf. you know, you re you re seeing all over the world. uh the message that this sends to the wider world is
. we believe they did in this case, but i look i m pro life. i don t apologize for it. i truly do believe that these abortifacients are dangerous. i welcome states that are getting them that are getting them off the shelf and will continue to push back on this. fda supported a 15 week. federal abortion ban 15 weeks. governor desantis recently backed the republican proposal for a six week abortion ban in florida. would you support a six week ban nationwide? well of course i look, i m i m pro life. i don t apologize for it. i believe that we ve got a we ve got to do everything in our power. to restore the sanctity of life to the center of american law, and i d support federal legislation in that regard if i was in the congress or had any other job here in town. but to be honest with you. i fully expect this is most likely going to be resolved on a state by state basis. i
begin a conversation about common sense, compassionate reform. let s move to another very, very important sensitive issue. abortion federal judges in texas is now considering revoking fda approval of an abortion pill here in the united states and abortion of that pill , it could have enormous consequences for women all across the country. would you like to see authorization for that abortion pill revoked? yes i would. and in fact, the foundation we created in washington has weighed in to a court case on just that point. look, the those aboard efficient drugs are very dangerous. it s largely unreported story. but in this case the fda went beyond their legislative authority to actually approved ability to approve or disapprove the abortion. but look, if you drill down in the cases, you ll see they went beyond their legislative authority. i m a big believer and you can t have these administrative agencies essentially going beyond the law
conspiracy or to have a direct instruction that had a straight line through it. that s why the testimony of vice president mike pence would be so critical. what did he say to you? did he know that he had lost the election when he s telling the public something very different. how did you know that? he knew that what actions that he want to take or for you to take as the person who was the head of the senate in that capacity. it s so vital to have the who, what? when? where? why and these instances because that s the through line. the january 6th is a much more spurious and complex case and, of course, the mar-a-lago doctors, which is admitted to but you can t lose sight of the fact that we still don t have these specific statements of one donald trump to the powers that be that, or he was trying to delegate the authority to in that moment, and you know, with with my pants, i mean he had important private conversations, and i m told that he never repeated those private conversations to
if donald trump i told him that he actually believed that he had lost the election. that is laura s. that is so important to this to this case, because then why would you incite any kind of a riot? if you knew you actually had lost and it seems to me the other piece of it is also, um, he we know that in the moment when it the riot was happening when the crowds were outside, he d opened the doors to the oval office to hear the crowds taking it in people around him, said that he seemed to be enjoying it. and that was part of the january 6th hearings. but what really wasn t established and it would be a big question mark if jack smith would be able to establish this is did he have any foreign knowledge of the plan to make that rally? an insurrection to go from the ellipse to something violent over at the capitol. that s the part that we don t really know. how much did he know how much
