he said that this attach crossed many, many lines and not just a redline, referencing obama. chemical weapons may have crossed a redline and may lead to military action. assad,ump, we heard that his attitude on him has s chang. thee trump administration has indicated that getting rid of assad was not a priority for the united states. right now, we are trying to find policy in the words of officials and the president. some indications came today. anchor: ambiguous language from the administration. will these words be followed with any action? reporter: you are right that there are strong words, but this is a white house and a president whatefused to talk about future military actions, if at all there are some, might look like. to answer on what the response would be. he said that that was his attitude and he would not reveal -- this has also been the attitude from the president on north korea and other foreign policy headaches. it does sound a little bit different than what we heard from nikki haley. she indicated unilateral moves from the united states. as the as far administ

barack obama really liked to thread that needle by sort of referencing ridiculous things he wanted toite or rebut which got laughs from both kinds of audiences, here is obama referencing one of the things said about him. >> being president is never easy, i still have to fix the broken immigration system, issue veto threats, negotiate with iran, all while finding time to pray five times a day. >> jessica, what do you think he is doing there? >> i just have to make a correction, i am not a comedian, i am a producer, i work with comedians. and it is so hard to be a comedian right now. and i just kind of wanted to make that correction. >> okay, sure, you're here -- >> thank you for having me. >> you're welcome, a person who works in comedy, better? >> that's great. >> i don't want to do the whole intro over again. >> can you ask the question again. >> sure, i was saying when you look at the way barack obama threaded the needle, speaking to two audiences in the room, and the larger sort of national audience that is different about this comedic performance? >> i can't really speak to that.

enjoying your carrot, but we still have this stick and the idea for many voters was that obama was not referencinghat stick in any way, shape, or form and they like this more. and they like the idea that perhaps it's not pushing us immediately into ripping up and changing the game entirely. >> what i think is not clear yet is whether this is just some rhetorical red meat for the base that needed to hear this because the visual of tillerson certifying they're in compliance runs counter to the original rhetoric or whether they're trying to signal to allies we understand it's complicated but we still may want to reserve the right to pull out of this. i think there's a re die cot me in terms of trump's national security foreign policy in that his team is quite respected, the whole group. and yet there are mixed signals on policy that allies at this 100 day mark still really don't know how to read and who speaks for the president. >> and to that point, that's why li lindsey graham was so happy. when something like this happens, those who want more aggressive action say good start, now create more fly z

obama administration has crossed the line. this is somef the clearest indication yet of what he may have been talking about, what he may have been referencing in some of those tweets. and, again, the pushback -- and you heard susan rice say this -- according to go her, another obama administration officials, there was never an intent the to learn the identity of these individuals for political purposes and there was no leaking. but i anticipate this back and forth is going to continue, katie, particularly as the trump administration really tries to turn the page on all of these swirling questions with about russia. >> wasn't the president pretty clear cut when he tweeted a month ago now that president obama, quote, wiretapped trump tower? isn't that a pretty definitive statement? >> well, it is, but remember in the wake of that, press secretary sean spicer said that by wiretapping, he meant surveilled and by surveilled, not necessarily of trump tower, but were some of these communications swept up in other communications that the obama administration may have been monitoring. and so the developments in recent weeks have put a little bit of

. >> jenna: the president, president obama the time said this to the american public on january 17th. these individuals, referencingsed, were not charged with terrorism or any violent offenses. is that true? does it relate described the threat to the american public? >> yes, i would chalk that up to a very carefully worded statement. if you look at the talking points, as we did in the story, a lot of the different key players in this rolled out same talking points. none of these people are charged with terrorism or violent offenses. when you're providing parts to iran's nuclear program, and that's technically violent. they throw a new get us and it hits us, which we hope it doesn't happen, to say they were in serious people is disingenuous. maybe not violent, but certainly key players and iran's nuclear weapons and other illicit networks. >> jenna: what's next? what can be done now? >> that's a good question. i think there's some concern that this dismantle of the law enforcement architecture that was designed to go after these people and enforce the deal, i think a lot of it is still there, but i think it remains
