Considered. Otherwise have done it and its shown to make the lives of sex workers safer. Back when he was asked in march, he said he didnt have an answer for that. Thats going to wrap up this hour. Ill see you tomorrow morning on today. Andrea mitchell reports starts right now. Big mistake, President Trump with a stern message for iran after iran shoots down an unmanned american drone in what the u. S. Is calling an unprovoked attack over International Waters and iran claims violated their airspace. These are very precisely guided, unmanned, run by high tech computers. I would bet almost anything that was in International Airspace. I think its a dangerous situation. High tension wires are up in the region. We expect to hear from President Trump this hour. No apologies. Joe biden standing by his controversial comments about working with segregationist
senators in the past. Cory booker is demanding he apologize. Apologize for what . Booker has called for it. Cory should apologize. He kno
Unprecedented step to direct the Department Of Defense to use military Health Care Personnel to operate all covid facilities. At the Javits Center in new york, at the Convention Center in new orleans, and at the Convention Center in dallas. And we informed each of the governors of those states today at their requests we were making those military medical personnel available to operate in all covid facility.

We anticipate in the new york area that your local Health Care Provider will make the decision whether you transferred to the Javits Center. And in all case, simply look to the guidance of your local governors about how best to receive the care that every american, every american is entitled to have. Beyond that, let me say that we have been working through femas acquisition process, not only to deploy, but to gather up Perso
Another real concern with a second President Trump Term would be some of the things that, again, he threatened like pulling the u. S. Out of nato, and we have seen some lawmakers who have taken action to try to prevent that, even before the selection frankly kicks off. We dont even have a republican nominee yet, but lawmakers on capitol hill, trying to cut off some of the potential things that a next President Trump could even try to bring to bear. Again, like pulling the u. S. Out of nato. That would be much more difficult because of actions on capitol hill, chris. Courtney kube with some very sobering reporting. Thank you for that. I want to bring in republican Congressman Zach Nun of iowa, a member of a four country caucus, a bipartisan group of iraq and afghanistan combat veterans serving in congress. I wonder, congressman, when you guys get together, and im assuming women too, if you have conversations how worried are folks like you. You spent, i think, almost 20

time to go after houthi capabilities ashore. joining us now, josh lederman in southern israel and courtney kube at the pentagon and general barry mccaffrey. and so courtney, what do we know about the u.s. targeting obviously other countries were involved there, who exactly are the houthis? main kinetic action or the targeting of the strikes was really the u.s. and british. a couple other countries who had what is called nonoperational support. but the actual ones doing the strikes, it was the u.s. and the british. now, the new anies are an iranian-backed groups, about a decade ago they threatened the government in yemen and in an ensuing civil war which pulled in the saudi, emiratis and others over the years, they have been able to take over large parts of yemen. but the key there is they are iranian-backed with training, with intelligence, with continuing to provide them with
