i think what we need to focus on, whether it is black or white or or straight, making sure that we have hate crime laws like this throughout the country, that protect people like this individual that was brutalized by those four maniacs. to be when i don t believe in hate crimes laws. i don t think we should prosecute people based on their thoughts. you don t think is a hate crime? tucker: i think hate is involved, i m merely saying it is a separate category. i m also opposed to lying and downplaying something that is obvious. it is clear that this man s race and political position played a role. absolutely. tucker: that is not all clear from the accounts that were prevalent today. the associated press, and the first account, didn t measure tl angles. i wonder why that was. i don t know. what i can say here, the charges came down from the prosecutor, the final arbiter, there is no arbiter of the case. people reporting the facts, which is, this individual was charged ....
aisle, are rightly concerned about how he may respond when tested by russia, iran, north korea, and other transnational threats such as cyber. considering some of these hotspots in the world in detail, i would like to start with iran, which remains a top concern for this committee. their behavior with respect to forces across the region has not improved and iran s unsafe actions have continued. i believe the joint plan of action is the most effective way to prevent iran from resuming their nuclear weapons program. general mattis, while you raise concerns about the jcpoa when it was being negotiated, you stated during a center for strategic and international studies forum in april 2016 that in your words, there is no going back absent a real violation. i agree with that assessment. i look forward to hearing your thoughts about how we can build upon the jcpoa to address other iranian threats including its malign influence in the region and ballistic missile programs. violent ext ....
about mexico, here is president trump announcing the cancellation of his meeting with the mexican president in philadelphia today. the president of mexico and myself have agreed to cancel our planned meeting scheduled for next week. unless mexico is going to treat the united states fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless and i want to go a different route. we have no choice. so david, was this sort of a mutual agreement, a mutual cancellation, or do you think that the mexican president pulled the plug? i think that the mexican president pulled the plug, and he did that because donald trump frankly put him in a corner. he kept in a tweet sort of pushing mexico saying you know you have to pay for the wall. i think nieto has to worry about his own political audience, mexicans were outraged, angry at him for months, if we talk this way to china, chinese are not going to stand for china backing down. this is very different from a business deal where you re blu ....
does it affect to change reality here? do they believe that two-state system is impossible, that is the talk in israel. now, that it is appears to be the new framework for a discussion, that is a fundamental change. special correspondent for the network, 25, 26 years. good to see you, thank you for popping in it you saw this news conference. play identity here a few minutes ago, the president and the prime minister as well. what struck you most from what we heard from the two gentlemen? what struck me most, netanyahu arriving, and the press conference, if i was a palestinian leader looking at this i would be deeply concerned. it was a love-in between the trumps and the netanyahus, that means between israel and the united states. there it was a mention that netanyahu made about the movement, the friendship with trump, saying, it was long overdue. a side mention of the relationship between he and president obama for a long time. that is what struck me. it is a new deck of ca ....
how important this process is, to getting confirmation, as we saw what happened in 1986. more importantly, i think he took head on a lot of the critics and criticism of decisions that he s made and votes he s cast. and i thought in particular, with cory booker becoming historic, you saw the first sho for the 2020 democratic nomination for president. let s just put that on the table. certainly, that s part of the drama and theater of what he chose to do. but i also found it somewhat ironic that just in january of 2016, in legislation that he co-sponsored with mr. sessions, that celebrated those who walked from walked the selma mile, if you will, that he referred to him as it was a great honor to work with him and that he appreciated his commitment to civil rights. and yet now sees him as he referred to him as a danger with danger to our country, as he s been quoted to say. the politics is not lost here. i think everyone in this town understands that. and to have this stag ....
