enemy. my concern by president trump is it should set in motion enthusiasm by the enemy we re fighting. you make people we re trying to help wonder about us. i saw this in iraq and i m not seeing it in syria. but is the real lesson of the explosion that we shouldn t have been there in the first place? what were those deaths for? joining me now to discuss is senator rand palm of kentucky. he s on the xhlts of foreign land and homeland security. will you begin by say wag senator graham had to say in the aftermath of this tragedy? you know, senator graham is one of those individuals who abdicated staying forever in the middle east. there will never be a good time for him to say home. i think if you say we are coming home when there is no nor ideology of suicide bombers left in the middle east, we ll never come home. our objective when we went in, the president said exclusively
responsibility, frankly. congress should be involved in making this decision. but i think it does affect the property profoundly and to those who say, oh, they were killed because we re leaving. no, they re killed because we were there. and the longer we stay, the more of our soldiers will be killed. basically, 2,000 soldiers are targets. the arabs on both side, they love to kill americans, because it makes international news and it tracks us further into their quagmire. ultimately, i think the end of terror, the end of radical islam comes when islam steps up. islam has to police islam. the islamic countries have to police them. i say goodness sakes, there is 1% of isis left, they can t take care of them? why is it our job, our soldiers to lay their lives on the line? i think it s time for the arabs to stand up and police their own nations. senator paul, some wondered whether the tragedy this week in syria. the death of four americans would slow the president s
i think any politician there playing the game. trump s not saying it. trump s saying what he believes. it s wrong, it s xenophobic, borders on fascism but he s say wag he believes. we need as democrats hillary needs to stop focus grouping every syllable and say what she believes. the idea of we re going into an argument single payer system, what is it your for right now? does she have the experience to be president of the united states? absolutely. but she apparently i don t know whether it s a campaign malfunction or whether she s just overthinking everything, but she s not speaking clearly and not exciting people. bernie is. bernie sanders is out there exciting people. you re sounding like a bernie sanders supporter, sir. no. i m not made up my mind. i m not convinced either one of
when republicans had two houses of congress. you try to force the issue. in the end it will put us in default and neither party does. so in a democracy you have to punt. people decide in november how an issue of this magnitude ought to be decided. it s not in the end. if this were offered july 30, i d gree. this is not the end. if this was game of chick and driving toward each other, he steered it this way too early. house republicans were getting set to put forward some more aggressive plan. talking about it. let them do it. it s too late. what incentive does the white house have now to accept a plan that is more aggressive than the mcconnell plan? the bipartisan mcconnell plan. if the house republicans offer a plan for half a trillion, which is all cuts let s assume it passes. i m say wag would be pref
i m say wag would be pref reasonable result? if it passes in the house, if the republicans get their about together and agree it s a good idea. obama has no argument against cut of that size. debt limit of that size. he says i want something, i ll veto something short. are you going to put that and make an argument on that and put us in default over what? what is the principle? you re right. the only reason obama wants a longer deal is so that it gets him election. it s wrong politics and self-interest. he doesn t have an argument so you force him on this issue. see how he reacts. shannon: chuck? i was going to say that strategy charles just outlined has been out there the whole time. there was a column about it in our paper. wife haven t they done anything about it? it tells me that a big part of the mess is the republican party on capitol hill right now is hopelessly splintered. there is individual rank. and jim demint or mitch
