RUSH TRANSCRIPT Bill Mpeg ░░░░░░░░ tonight last night on ░░░░░░░░ minutes much in control ░░░░░░░░ when it came to ░░░░░░░░ You may remember that ░░░░░░░░ 2012 about a year ░░░░░░░░ the cruel tyrant a ░░░░░░░░ used poison gas on ░░░░░░░░ Mr Obama threaten him ░░░░░░░░ You have to say ░░░░░░░░ created and there have ░░░░░░░░ reports that it wasn ░░░░░░░░ in your speech No ░░░░░░░░ wasn t That you ░░░░░░░░ sort of ad libbed ░░░░░░░░ Look If you are ░░░░░░░░ all the weight on ░░░░░░░░ particular phrase phrase then ░░░░░░░░ terms of how it ░░░░░░░░ interpreted in Washington I ░░░░░░░░ you make a legitimate ░░░░░░░░ I have got to ░░░░░░░░ you though I don ░░░░░░░░ regret at all saying ░░░░░░░░ if I saw Assad ░░░░░░░░ chemical weapons on his ░░░░░░░░ that that would change ░░░░░░░░ assessments in terms of ░░░░░░░░ we were or were ░░░░░░░░ willing to do in ░░░░░░░░ of Syria But you ░░░░░░░░ t say that You ░░░░░░░░ you drew the redline ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ make too big a ░░░░░░░░ out of this Bill ░░░░░░░░ again Charles krauthammer joins ░░░░░░░░ from Washington The president ░░░░░░░░ trouble with that question ░░░░░░░░ most important part of ░░░░░░░░ of this is what ░░░░░░░░ after Mr Obama didn ░░░░░░░░ do anything to Assad ░░░░░░░░ It is not just ░░░░░░░░ happened in Syria Where ░░░░░░░░ Russians came in and ░░░░░░░░ to pull chestnuts out ░░░░░░░░ a fire this phony ░░░░░░░░ where supposedly chemical weapons ░░░░░░░░ all evacuated they weren ░░░░░░░░ Chemical weapons were used ░░░░░░░░ in the war Obama ░░░░░░░░ nothing It s not ░░░░░░░░ just Syria When Obama ░░░░░░░░ it was missing it ░░░░░░░░ interpreted in Washington no ░░░░░░░░ was interpreted in Beijing ░░░░░░░░ Moscow and Tehran by ░░░░░░░░ all over the world ░░░░░░░░ the United States president ░░░░░░░░ the word Redline that ░░░░░░░░ a meaning Obama says ░░░░░░░░ is a phrase as ░░░░░░░░ it was some kind ░░░░░░░░ random phrase It has ░░░░░░░░ meaning and diplomacy You ░░░░░░░░ we act They cross ░░░░░░░░ didn t act As ░░░░░░░░ result you see all ░░░░░░░░ aggressive actions around the ░░░░░░░░ People understood that this ░░░░░░░░ fundamentally a week and ░░░░░░░░ president who will not ░░░░░░░░ hence the south China ░░░░░░░░ Hence Ukraine Hence crime ░░░░░░░░ area Crimea Hence Iran ░░░░░░░░ essentially taking over Syria ░░░░░░░░ Lebanon as well Bill ░░░░░░░░ worst barked on my ░░░░░░░░ for me is I ░░░░░░░░ this at the time ░░░░░░░░ isn t Monday morning ░░░░░░░░ and as soon as ░░░░░░░░ drop that gas killing ░░░░░░░░ babies and the children ░░░░░░░░ all of that the ░░░░░░░░ day the U S ░░░░░░░░ force should have just ░░░░░░░░ his air force to ░░░░░░░░ That is easy to ░░░░░░░░ as you know they ░░░░░░░░ have one big air ░░░░░░░░ We could have taken ░░░░░░░░ out in an hour ░░░░░░░░ That was it We ░░░░░░░░ t do ground troops ░░░░░░░░ don t need a ░░░░░░░░ war occupation Bang You ░░░░░░░░ t put another plane ░░░░░░░░ there But since the ░░░░░░░░ States anything Russia as ░░░░░░░░ rightly said came in ░░░░░░░░ Ron Kaman and the ░░░░░░░░ began And what did ░░░░░░░░ slaughter lead to Millions ░░░░░░░░ migrants leaving the area ░░░░░░░░ the zone in Europe ░░░░░░░░ on the March ISIS ░░░░░░░░ in power because of ░░░░░░░░ chaos All of these ░░░░░░░░ came from President Obama ░░░░░░░░ failure to do anything ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ president would ever admit ░░░░░░░░ KRAUTHAMMER No I don ░░░░░░░░ think he has admitted ░░░░░░░░ to himself at all ░░░░░░░░ mean you look at ░░░░░░░░ victory tour he has ░░░░░░░░ at for the last ░░░░░░░░ don t know two ░░░░░░░░ or so celebrating all ░░░░░░░░ the great things his ░░░░░░░░ has accomplished His presidency ░░░░░░░░ going to be remembered ░░░░░░░░ a historical parenthesis He ░░░░░░░░ not willing to admit ░░░░░░░░ I kind of understand ░░░░░░░░ spent eight years of ░░░░░░░░ life as want to ░░░░░░░░ that your achievements are ░░░░░░░░ on sand but you ░░░░░░░░ at ObamaCare that is ░░░░░░░░ on sand He never ░░░░░░░░ the buy in from ░░░░░░░░ opposition or from the ░░░░░░░░ He never got cap ░░░░░░░░ trade He had to ░░░░░░░░ through executive orders They ░░░░░░░░ all going to be ░░░░░░░░ the are going to ░░░░░░░░ canceled He tried to ░░░░░░░░ through immigration reform did ░░░░░░░░ succeed This was a ░░░░░░░░ presidency I think the ░░░░░░░░ is he overreached He ░░░░░░░░ sort of overestimated himself ░░░░░░░░ supreme self confidence that ░░░░░░░░ see even to this ░░░░░░░░ and that a 60 ░░░░░░░░ interview the other night ░░░░░░░░ what I think was ░░░░░░░░ downfall He thought I ░░░░░░░░ more about this than ░░░░░░░░ else I am smarter ░░░░░░░░ understand the Middle East ░░░░░░░░ if I just say ░░░░░░░░ words Red line and ░░░░░░░░ go back on it ░░░░░░░░ are still going to ░░░░░░░░ me And this belief ░░░░░░░░ he has and what ░░░░░░░░ calls the international community ░░░░░░░░ is a fiction international ░░░░░░░░ a fiction he adhered ░░░░░░░░ that I mean the ░░░░░░░░ is what is it ░░░░░░░░ moral arc of the ░░░░░░░░ tends towards justice Something ░░░░░░░░ got from Martin Luther ░░░░░░░░ The problem is that ░░░░░░░░ t apply to the ░░░░░░░░ called community of nations ░░░░░░░░ No it absolutely doesn ░░░░░░░░ There is a lesson ░░░░░░░░ for Donald Trump A ░░░░░░░░ big lesson The president ░░░░░░░░ has a tendency to ░░░░░░░░ off the cuff as ░░░░░░░░ did on the redline ░░░░░░░░ and to say whatever ░░░░░░░░ wants to say on ░░░░░░░░ mind But if you ░░░░░░░░ it as president you ░░░░░░░░ back it up correct ░░░░░░░░ is where I think ░░░░░░░░ are going into very ░░░░░░░░ stormy waters with Obama ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump Obama understood ░░░░░░░░ he was doing He ░░░░░░░░ what he said Then ░░░░░░░░ backed off With term ░░░░░░░░ said so many things ░░░░░░░░ of them outrageous just ░░░░░░░░ at the interview he ░░░░░░░░ today with the German ░░░░░░░░ the British newspaper talking ░░░░░░░░ NATO in authentic ways ░░░░░░░░ about the EU talking ░░░░░░░░ obsolescence Word he says ░░░░░░░░ an impact The problem ░░░░░░░░ he does so many ░░░░░░░░ these things that are ░░░░░░░░ never heard before I ░░░░░░░░ they cancel each other ░░░░░░░░ Bill So do I ░░░░░░░░ I am talking about ░░░░░░░░ things He is going ░░░░░░░░ be tested and he ░░░░░░░░ going to be tested ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump Let me ░░░░░░░░ you talking about a ░░░░░░░░ thing Taiwan You don ░░░░░░░░ screw around with the ░░░░░░░░ in Taiwan Bill Loved ░░░░░░░░ They have said the ░░░░░░░░ the Chinese are saying ░░░░░░░░ the carrier the Taiwan ░░░░░░░░ if you are looking ░░░░░░░░ one area where this ░░░░░░░░ be his redline he ░░░░░░░░ be challenged you should ░░░░░░░░ worrying about that now ░░░░░░░░ The Chinese are bored ░░░░░░░░ They are going to ░░░░░░░░ how far they can ░░░░░░░░ them.
