mubarak in egypt, with the guy whose name i forgot in tunisia. barack obama, very naively, beginning in 2009, you arabs deserve to be one man, one vote, all the rest of us, so he got the muslim brotherhood after he threw mubarak out. gadhafi was killed, and sandra: in the wake of this strike? syria, you heard john kerry speak out in support of what president trump did. meghan: i was surprised to hear that, because i would debate that john kerry was 100% complicit in the atrocities that happened in syria. president trump, 100% accurate. he wouldn t be in the position globally that we are right now if president obama hadn t spent eight years leading from behind, and gone on international apology tours for the united states of america. i hope president trump has learned lessons from the last eight years. i believe what s happened in syria is when the president leads from behind.
audience. well, at the very least, what it could potentially signal to china is when the obama administration pardon me. when trump administration officials say things like they are prepared to handle north korea alone if need be, for the chinese president to be in mar-a-lago when this strike on syria took place, completely unexpected, it certainly drives home the point that the american president is not playing around, that perhaps other foreign powers should think twice before doubting him. but certainly introduces that element of unpredictability. will that play in trump s favor? that, again, also remains to be seen. we appreciate your perspective especially given it has been a long night for you. lucy, thank you. still ahead here on msnbc, we will talk to a former fbi double agent about how president trump
administration was a scandal. and how many of our veterans who served were taken advantage of and left on those long hospitalists to die and the president knew about it? and where was the accountability for it then and now? and julie, every time somebody jumps a white house fence i wish you would stand up and scream scandal could because if somebody would have happened to the man in the white house, we would be screaming scandal! look, did they hold the people who let them down accountable? if he didn t, and it doesn t like you did the way we excited them too, that is a scandal. doesn t have to take summer sponsor bill before the email scandal? that is something that happened on his watch to his secretary of state, somebody reporting directly to him. they had said you can t be secretary of state unless you distance yourself from the foundation. so many emails were related to that, and that relationship rid of that was a lot of scandal that he had a hand in. julie: i don t know
about these increases. so now you see president obama going to the hill and caucusing with democrats, trying to come up with what, exactly? julie: i suspect is to preserve his legacy on obamacare. but look, are they going democrats had their plan, they had passed airplane with no republican votes. it is now up to republicans to figure out what their plan is paid to the public and for republicans today as it is very easy to slogan near against obamacare, and it does have a lot of plug, but now you are in charge with the khakis, and you of the person in the white house that will sign whatever legislation you want to pass. revolt against could have passed replacements and proposed and passed a replacement to obamacare in any number of times over the past number of years. even if president obama hadn t signed it, they would have put their market on and what exactly they stood for, but they failed to do that. now, the proof is in the pudding, they are going to have to pass something, beca
to me, a scandal is somebody that appoints u.s. attorneys that might only want to do something at the president wants them to do and goes after people politically. that is a scandal to me. that sound like the irs scandal. a scandal to me is not bergdahl, for example. if you look at what valerie jarrett said, she said not only hasn t he had a scandal, he hasn t done anything or anything to embarrass himself, and i am reminded right away of him referencing isis as the jv team, only to see it grow and grow and grow. julie: i agree he embarrassed himself with that. joe: how are they defining the term scandal? is it a lack of judgment, is it a misinformation? how do you qualify? what about the irs targeting conservative groups? i think i would check every box in terms of a scandal. you ve got americans being targeted by an american institution overseen by an american government. in the president knows about it. the president can act. i think that is the definition of a scandal
