Monday. Its 4 00 in new york. So each of the civil and criminal cases brought against donald trump and at this point there are plenty to choose from, slice right to the core of his persona in unique and distinct ways. Contempt for the rule of law, a disregard for our very democracy, even an embrace of Political Violence.

Rose welcome to the program. Tonight we take a look at what the Trump Administration did in syria and compare it with what the Obama Administration did when it decided to take a deal and not engage in an airstrike.

But it wasnt for want of trying to do the right thing, making the best judgments we could. Maybe they were wrong,

To do the right thing, making the best judgments we could. Maybe they were wrong, history will judge. But where i disagree just to come back to the start of this is question us for our judgments, absolutely, lets have that argument, but talking about menacity, youre looking in the wrong place. Tina brown, create of women in the world. For years and years, we keep hearing about the same old same old. There have been womens meetings forever about pay, about Sexual Harassment, about, you know, protecting womens reproductive rights but now finally people are thinking, wait a minute, this is really getting old. Its not changing. All the massive breakthroughs have happened but look at whats happening at fox news, the Sexual Harassment is rampant.
