Really happy to have you here. I got to tell you right off the bat, you get two Rachel

Maddo shows this week here on MSNBC. I'm here tonight. And then I will also be here again this

week on Friday night at 8 p.m. Eastern. I can explain. I will have more on that in just a second.

Bear with me, but you're stuck with me for two week nights this week.

First, though, here's a weird thing that happened today. You ready? After President Trump

gave his speech at the Israeli parliament today, he then, you might have seen, he went to Egypt

to go sign things. We don't exactly know what the things were that he signed,

but they purported to be related to the Israeli Hamas ceasefire deal, the release of Israeli

hostages today, the release of prisoners held by Israel. So he was there signing something in

Egypt. And when he turned to speak at that event in Egypt,

he said something that I think even in the room struck people as a little bit strange.

Now, that is not an unusual occurrence for this president. He is a meandering speaker. He often

says stuff that seems out of context or inappropriate for the

audience to which he is speaking. But in Egypt, in the midst of this big news day, it was weird.

He turned and he said to the strongman leader of Egypt, who took power in a military coup,

a guy who Trump, in his first term, called his favorite dictator, Trump

turned to the microphone today in Egypt, and he said this. He said, there was a reason we chose

Egypt, because you were very helpful. Everybody wanted to have this. You are a great leader.

You have very little crime.

And then he said, quote, I want to thank you. He's been my friend right from the beginning during the campaign against crooked Hillary Clinton. Have you heard of her? He's gesturing

to the president of Egypt and saying he's been my friend from the beginning

during the campaign against crooked Hillary Clinton. Why is he talking about Hillary Clinton today?
