[ laughs ] get the fastest internet and the best in-home wi-fi from xfinity. and stream on speeds so fast you can catch up on the fast saga before the fate of the furious hits theaters april 14. xfinity. the future of awesome. good evening and thank you for joining us this evening. one question with more than one answer, how far is the trump administration willing to go in syria. and keep in mind it matters who you ask in the trump administration, and how much credence you give to their words. and now, there are those who appear to have done the

opposite. nevertheless, after ordering a syrian strike against the syrian air base, people are asking across the rubicon, what is next? where are his red lines, and a new trump doctrine emerging different from what he put on the campaign trail. yesterday, u.n. ambassador nikki haley came close the calling for a regime change. listen. >> if you look at the action and the situation, it is hard to see a government peaceful and stable with assad. regime change is something that we believe is going to happen, because all of the parties are going to see that assad is not the leader that the needs to be taking place for syria. >> and on abc, something different from rex tillerson. >> once we can eliminate the battle against isis and conclude that, and it is going quite well, we hope to turn our attention to achieving cease-fire agreements between the regime and the opposition force, and through that political process that we

believe that the syrian people will ultimately be able to decide the fate of bashar al assad. >> and the secretary of state tillerson painting a different picture than ambassador haley. and then general mcmaster on fox trying to clean up her remarks. >> what ambassador haley pointed out it is difficult to understand how a political solution could result from the continuation of the assad regime. we are not saying that we are the ones who are going to effect that change. >> well, as you might imagine, this left people scratching their head, so today, the white house spokesman sean spicer spent a great deal of time squaring the circle, and trying to explain how the future strikes of syria would be for the opposition with this latest chemical attack, and beyond any other intervention upon targeting isis? >> i believe that the trump doctrine is something that he ar the tick you lated throughout the campaign to be something that he articulated first. we want to make sure that our national interests are protect

and do what we can with interests both economically and the national security is forefront and not the world's policeman running around the world, but we have to have a clear and defined interest wherever we act, and it is the national security first and foremost that has to deal with how we act. >> and can you tell us how syria fits in fits into the doctrine? >> absolutely. if you are recognizing the threat that our country and our people face if there is a growth of user or spread of chemical weapons of mass destruction, those, the proliferation of those, and the spread to other groups is a clear danger to our country and to our people. >> so there is that. and the confusion of sean spicer's statement of barrel bombs as jeff zeleny is at the white house, and the statement of the barrel bomb, and you were in the briefing today, and explain exactly what he said? >> well, anderson, sean spicer was asked exactly what it would take to sort of, you know,

provoke another attack in syria, and would vit to be a chemical attack or a conventional weapon, and sean spicer not once, not twice, but three times he said barrel bombs would be enough. let's watch. >> the sight of people being gassed an blown away by barrel bombs, and ensures that if we see this kind of action again, we hold open the possibility of future action. when you are watching babies and children being gassed and suffer under barrel bombs, you are ip stan tainously moved to action. this president has made it very clear if those actions were to continue, further action will be definitely taken be i the united states. if you gas a baby or put a barrel bomb into innocent people, you will see a response from this president. that is unacceptable. >> so clearly that word was used by on purpose there. and again, saying it three times, but shortly after that white house briefing a senior

administration official said that spicer was not drawing a line around barrel bombs, because that would be a dramatic es a chelation of thing, because it happens all of the time, and ev everyday there, and a senior administration official said that the posture is the same, and nothing has changed, but anderson at the end of the day here, we are left by confusion here about what is the trump read line. >> and to clarify for the viewers, barrel bombs are frequently used by the syrian regime, and one estimate according to the syrian nettwork of human rights, they dropped almost 13,000 barrel bombs in 2016 alone. >> and 13,000 is several a day. so the idea that to a barrel bomb, which is basically an oil drum that has some type of a crude explosive in it that is thrown out the helicopter or something, the idea that would be enough to provoke an attack seems, you know, much, much different than, you know, what we saw last week with the gruesome images there, and again, tonight, the white house

is saying that spicer misspoke a little bit, and on barrel bombs, but if that is true, anderson, he did it three times in a row at the press briefing. and so they are saying that the posture towards syria has not changed, and that, you know, a they are not ruling out any additional military action here sh, but it is still unclear what that trump doctrine actually is, anderson. >> than you, jeff zeleny. new polling on the missile strike showing 57% approval for it, and limited appetiter for anything greater, and 18% supportering the troops on the ground in syria, aed joining us is a military panel, and retired general spider marcs and jeffrey lord, and kirsten powell and so, thank you all. and did he confuse it or clarify it, because if barrel bombs are something that could evoke an administration response, that is awful. >> yes, and these are awful

crude barrels as jeff said, filled with shrap nell and explosive thrown out of the helicopters on civilian populations. >> and we have video from 2015, of some barrel bombs being thrown out of a helicopter, and we can show it to get our -- and that is actually barrel bombs specifically on a helicopter, and then i believe in some point, they are tossed out. >> and one of the things that assad has done is that he is sort of es ka lagt and escalating and seeing where the international community's red line to coin a phrase is, and so what he started to do with the barrel bombs is to add the chlorine gas. that is not actually banned under the chemicals weapons treaty, and so before he started to use the sarin gas the more way he did recently, he was putting the chlorine gas with the bomb, and not the confuse the subject more, but when i was thi lising to sean spice, it seems that sean spicer misspoke, because if the we are now going

to intervene militarily if assad uses barrel bombs that means that we are involved in a civil war at a dramatic new level. so far what we have seen is that the one line for trump is chemical weapons, right? and this is just a deterrent about using sarin gas and other weapons that are banned under the chemicals weapons treaty that syria did sign and promise to give up the chemical weapons. so there is nothing from the white house yet that sean's statements aside that suggests that they are moving the line beyond chemical weapons. >> and congressman kingston, is it clear to you that the regime has changed for the u.s. policy toward syria the same as it was in the last administration? >> i am not certain, and it is out there as a possibility, and i think that the way they have played it is great, because it is putting up a with question mark and sets it up with discussion with russia this week with tillerson. and there is probably discussion with china last weekend. >> you think that the lack of clarity is beneficial? >> i think it is part of what trump does.

he does not want to broadcast, this is what i have in mind, but if you are looking at it now, we have military options on the table, and we are going to the continue with the diplomatic solution, and also with the economic solutions, and secretary ross announced a big sanction to a chinese telecom company breaking the sanctions with syria and iran. to me, putting them together, economic, and military and diplomatic on the table, and that part of the emerging doctrine which is helpful. >> and you did it more clearly than anyone at the white house has. >> and this is a syrian attack by syrian leader against his own people, and how is that america first? how is that in the u.s. national -- i mean, how is that any threat to national security? >> well, if you are asking sean spicer, he has an answer to that. >> and he is saying the spread of the potential spread of the chemical weapons. >> right. >> but the truth is that this is actually going to go against the

america first ethos, and in my opinion, and this is not consistent with what donald trump ran on except that i think that it is the right thing to do. i mean, there is the obvious humanitarian compassionate element that is contradictory rof the america-first ideology, but you know, there is a thing to be said for having people be afraid of you and having people think that you are maybe a little bit unpredictable, and this reminded me and i will get to it before jeffrey lord -- >> ronald reagan. [ laughter ] >> and this is not george w. bush getting a nation building and adventurism, and not barack obama's dithering and letting people cross red lines, but this is ronald reagan in 1986 after the west berlin discoe attack bombing, and i think that this is going to send a message to china and north kree yand a yes, to russia and syria. >> and kierstin, i want to play something that sean spicer explained more of what the trump

doctrine is. do we have it? >> the resulting action of what happened happened ensured that their fueling operation is gone from the facility, and 20% of the fixed wing aircraft were the destroyed and knocked out. >> that is obviously the wrong sound. and well, actually, general marks, let me go to you with what sean spicer said, 20% of the fixed wing aircraft and then the secretary of defense saying it is 20% of all of syria's operational aircraft, and is there a difference? >> that is a disconnect. and we struck an air. field and 20% is denigrated, it would be at that place, but i won't second-guess general mattis, and i would say that a large number of aircraft were scattered from the airfield to avoid the incoming line.

>> and enough to get the pilots out of there. >> and let's see what else sean spicer said is the trump doctrine. >> if you are recognizing the threat that our country and people face, and if there is a growth of user or spread of chemical weapons of mass destruction, those, the proliferation of those, and the spread to other groups is a clear danger to our country and to our people. >> so what is that opening the door to? >> well, i mean, i think it is does sort of fundamentally change what he says the trump doctrine is, and to a certain extent, and that is what matt is saying is right, because it is not what donald trump is arctic you lating and the steve bannon view of the world and that is basically saying that we are over here, and america is doing our thing, and bad things happen in other place, and unless they plan on coming literally to the united states, it is not our problem. and jack, you were saying that you think that it is good that he is sort of leaving the door

open on regime change for example. now, people support the regime change is fine i guess, but it is not the position that donald trump took when he was running for president, and not even close. so, you know, for him to suddenly shift that much to be opening up the door to regime change in syria is huge. i mean, it is a radically different world view. >> and jeff, you can certainly make a change for the humanitarian intervengs in a lot of place, and we have seen the u.s. do that for years, and donald trump has been critical of that in the past, and does it surprise you to be a or consider this to be a shift? >> no, jack is absolutely right. his version, president trump's version of this unpredictable, and once upon a time in the american history, richard nixon called pit mad man theory which scared the bejeeb erers out of opponents to let them know that you are capable of anything and he used it to get a treaty with the soviets and bring it to end vietnam treaties.

and one more thing about libya, i was there that night on april 15th, 1986 and we were waiting for president reagan on the south lawn in a motorcade to go to the hotel for a dinner in honor of the senator rexdall to eat rocky mountain oysters and he was late, and not until later did i get home to find out with the rest of the world that he was in there waiting for the completion of the 12:00 bombing attack in libya as payback. >> and remember what the target was. it was regime change. we were hoping to get khadafy and the intelligence was latent and it was late. the intent was not proportionatal to the bombing, but it was to get this the guy out of here. >> and people think of reagan as

being a cowboy or bellicose, and never gets bogged down in any sort of adventure. >> exactly. only -- >> and with the projected strength he did not make that mistake. >> with respect to jeff, this is a cop-out, and the idea that this is the idea to have a element of surprise, and we have learned that there was no surprise, because he tipped off the russian government to the missileel strike, and the russians tipped off the syrians and so get to the bottom of this, and we are only 70-something day in and to summarize the trump doctrine, he does not have arrived at the doctrine yet, and i want to know the goal, regime change or not? mitigate a humanitarian crisis or not, and where do you end the civil war in syria, and he has not answered any of the questions and the only way to do that is to submit a plan to congress and be clear about the objectives. >> and we will talk about this later in the hour, to touch upon

some of what we are talking about now, and the urgent global challenges that are facing the white house when it comes the syria. and also coming up, white hot rage over this, dragged off of the plane for the expectation to buy a plane and expect to get to the destination. he was kicked off so that united airlines employees could take his seat. this is possibly the worst public relations foul up ever. we will discuss that next. rs. ♪ if you've got the time welcome to the high life. ♪ we've got the beer ♪ miller beer

challenge d this almost on principle. >> we must abandon the failed policy of nation building and regime change. >> we are going to stop the reckless and the costly policy of regime change -- >> bab d -- abandon the policy of regime change. abandon the policy of reckless regime change. pushing recklessly for regime change. a shooting war in syria that could very well lead us into world war iii. over syria? we're going to go into world war iii? this war and chaos must finally come to an end. >> with the panel. ron, it is one thing, because i am always fascinated, because when you arm cal paining, it is easy to say something than when you are actually president. we have seen it time and time again. barack obama closing down gitmo

during the campaign, obviously didn't do it as president. george w. bush was against nation building and ends up in afghanistan, obviously nation building. >> and one thing that trump said during the campaign or in the middle east, we never could steal iraq's oil, that's not a thing you can do. the idea to partner with russia and assad to defeat isis is not going to happen. assad is not going after isis, because that is the last group he is going after, because he wants them remaining. and so, you know, trump thought that assad could stay in power on april 6th, april 7th if i have the dates right of the chemical attack happens, and he realizes, oh, wait a second, maybe i encouraged, encouraged him to sort of push the boundary with what weapons he could use, and immediately flips around to intervening militarily, and now he is in the position to where some of the more hawkish members of the party are pushing him to go further. that is the real test now, and it is not necessarily contradictory to respond to the

chemical attack, but will he go further now sh, and listen to j mccains, and the lindsey grahams who want him to militarily overthrow assad. i don't believe he is there yet. >> mccain is there saying destroy the entire military of syria, that seems far from where president trump is right now, but do you see a shift from what he ran on? >> not really, because i think he was sending a signal, not just to assad but also to north korea and other actors around the world that may say the united states talks a lot, but they're not going to do anything. so i think that one of the things that he was going the do -- >> and during the campaign, he kept saying we are not going to do regime change, we are not going to do regime change, but obviously, the goal in syria seems to be regime change. >> if they had shifted to regime change, that is going to get a lot of discussion in the u.s. congress, because as we got rid of gadhafi in libya, and -- >> he is there. because early april he said that

assad could stay, and now he is saying that assad must go, so it is not necessarily going to make him go. >> and he is putting stuff on the table, and then i think that if you are listening to what nikki haley was saying, also, and talking about the international coalition, and tillerson was talking about the international coalition -- >> and this is what obama said, assad must go, -- escalation, and that is the drum beat of war, and i thought that it was a message that was strong and decisive and we will not tolerate chemical warfare, and should we get involved to toppling assad, and what happens? a vacuum? does isis take over in and is george washington going to emerge and run that country? the good news is that h.r. mcmaster now has donald trump's ear and he served in iraq and afghanistan and basically knows counter insurgency strategy. he knows what will happen.

>> and what happens, brian, if ass assad, and he is not a weak actor and he is not going to be sitting there on the sidelines to watch it happen. what if he does use the chemical weapons again or continues to use the barrel bombs that can killed far more people than the chemical weapons. >> right. and the more trump's response escalates to a situation like that, the more he is crossing the base. and the base of the trump support and the base of the democratic party are in agreement, and heavy amount of skepticism to another misadventure aimed at regime change, and the more and more slipping down path, if they make good on the threats of nikki haley and sean spicer articulate, it is a great political risk to the base and run afoul of any interpretation that you could have of the 2001 aumf and perhaps justify the 2001 aumf applies to the fight other than isis.

>> and how can sean spicer today talk three times of the barrel bombs being one of the red line, and in a day like this, the words seem to matter. >> and one thing that is interesting in the clip that you played in the beginning, it appears that he is reading from this. and he is not just extemporizing, and the point that i would make is that this is the trump administration and not the haley or the spicer or the tillerson administration, and so until you hear from trump himself, he likes to have the chaos with the strong people putting the views out here, and at some point he is going to be making a decision. >> and we have heard from the secretary of defense that we are going to be taking iraq's oil, and we have not heard that from the president? >> i think that the president can speak for himself and he will. >> okay. >> and if you have the top ranking foreign policy people in his administration coming out to say things that we should be able to the take it as some indication of what the policy is, and so it is seeming like, perhaps, perhaps that donald trump didn't pay that close

attention to what is going on in syria when he was saying all that stuff, and now that he is president, and put the pictures in front of him and like anymore mall person, he is horrified, but this is already happen iing i just honestly don't believe he was following it that closely and if he was, maybe as president, he feels a sense of responsibility, but i do believe that he had a bumper sticker policy that he had not really thought through. >> and regime change is not, and if that is a goal which it was for the last administration and not clear if it is or not for this administration, but if it is, there are so many unknowns about what comes after assad, and even if you can get rid of assad, there are vacuums of power. >> and every administration has time to figure it out. every civil war flames out at ten years, and we are moving into seven years and the circumstances are now different than 2013, and assad is on the dekline, and putin is tired of

proppinging him up, and this administration understands that. what we did with the strike is to allow us to start es calatin as necessary and to simultaneously figure out what this thing might look like. it is okay that there is not a strategy in place right now, because it has to gel, but the regime change is part of it. absolutely. >> and i want to thank everybody. coming out, we will expand on the skepticism of the missile strike on the base, and what happens when a american airline flight is overbooked? apparently, you get dragged off of the flight. this really happened. we will look at the details ahead. >> oh, my god. >> look at what you did to him. r is to always keep track of your employees. micromanage them. make sure they're producing. woo! employee of the month! you really shouldn't leave their side. vita coco coconut water, hydration comes naturally. ito treat your toughy nasal allergies...

and why would trump hit a chemicals can depot with thousands of tons of ammo.

>> anne colter who campaigned for trump tweeted her dismay, those who wanted us meddling in the middle east voted for other candidates and this reminder that trump campaigned on not getting involved in the mideast, and said it always helps our enemies and creates more refugees and then he saw a picture on tv even as far back as 2013, trump said that he was against u.s. involvement in the middle east, and he tweeted then that obama should save his powder and pleading with him sh, do not attack syria. this tweet from a veteran to donald trump, it was a clear sign that his supporters had lost patience with the predecessor and perhaps him, too, and he says, it is no more regime change no, more american dead, no more nation building, and it is what you ran on. even before the u.s. strike,

some of trump's alt-right base were selling the idea that the chemical attack on the syrian people was a hoax. blogger michael seanovich said it was a red flag only meant to draw the u.s. into a war. and the #hoax was saying that it was a hoax convinced to keep trump out of syria. and he stayed on the line for over seven hours to slam trump. >> i am moving to argentina, and if trump is going to bring us into war, there is no hope for america. >> reporter: no hope for america or alt-right supporters who are suddenly wondering if their president is a dove or a hawk. >> randi is joining us. any blowback for these people saying things about trump

as the 100 day mark approach s for the trump presidency, april 2th, inside of politico, they are saying that the trump

administration is looking on how to turn the first 100 days around. and the strategy is to declare victory at every term. today, the president said this about neil gorsuch's swearing in to the supreme court. >> this is at great honor. [ applause ] and i got it done in the first 100 days, and that is even nice. you think that is easy. >> well, the confirmation of judge gorsuch is president trump's only legislative victory achieved because the senate republicans voted to take away the rules of a filibuster, and sean spicer ruled rolling back regulation, and the stock market, and coal mining, and some are trends that have been underway for months. and back is jeffrey lord, and kirsten powers and cnn political analyst david gergen, and also

from politico sean. you were saying whiteboards? >> yes, and white house staff with big butcher block paper and broke out into three groups, and one went out for security issues and economic issues and trying to come up with a list of things to sell. >> you sound like awful corporate retreats? >> well, one white house official said it reminded them back to fifth grade, and they were not pleased with the exercise. but inside of the white house, there is so much pressure right now, because they know that donald trump is paying attention to the 100-day marker. it does not really matter, and it is not a legal deadline or the constitutional deadline, but it is a a media deadline, and trump is a creature of the media, and he is watching them, and he know that if it is portrayed like he has not accomplished much, there is backlash. there is talk of the staff shake-ups and if you don't make a good impression in the next 19

days, bad things could be happening. >> and david, why -- i mean, why has the first 100 days become a critical milestone for the administrati administration? >> well, it wasn't for most of the history, anderson, and then franklin roosevelt changed nit n the midst of the depression. congress was only going to be for a short time, but they stayed for 100 days and passed an amazing amount of legislation, and that is the gold standard of how much you accomplish on the domestic policy and obviously, no president since then has measured up to it, and many have stumbled early on, but what the trump team is worried about if they come out at the end of 100 days, and massive publicity on the focus of has it been successful or not, there is a lot of harsh judgments, and i think that so far, it is hard to say that it is -- i think that it is easy to say that this is the first 100 days by donald trump has been among the worst if not the worst that we have

seen. >> really? because i should say that the president on air force one the other day said that i don't want to paraphrase him inskrektly, but this has been the most successful start for any administration? >> well, listen. he has had the successes and jeffrey lord can enumerate them to you at great length, but they have been success within the unilateral control. there were regulatory things that he could change, and things that obama had done that he could change, and he did, you know, the gorsuch nomination has gone well and you have to say that, and he is going to be, donald trump is going to make a major mark on the supreme court where we are heading, but the rest of it, especially the health care, but, you know, what else has been accomplish ed othr than the sense of disarray, and not sure where where they are, and even when he launches this successful air strike upon syria, and 48 hours later or 72 hours later, we are in the world of confusion, and they can't get

the story straight. their communications team ought to start planning the next three weeks by planning tomorrow. trying to get the story straight tomorrow as the ships are sailing towards north korea as we are waiting to see what is happening in syria. >> and jeff, is it, in terms of the rebranding exercise, hard to brand the first 100 days given in terms of the legislative accomplishments other than gorsuch requiring a change of the senate rules. >> and when you talk about the first 100 days that is what they wanted a conservative on the supreme court, and he got it done. it is a big deal, and a generational big deal, and neil gorsuch is sworn in today and he is going to be around for a long time, and that is a very big deal. he has done these other things that have frankly not gotten as much attention with the executive orders and et cetera, but -- >> and the repeal and the replace obamacare. >> and let's be candid about it, i think it is a problem and for the life of me, i don't understand why the republican

congress didn't have the act together on this the ka day after he was sworn in. and be that as it may, here we r are. as i think that i have said before, all of the books that he has written, everybody is focusing on "the art of the deal" and he has written one called "never give up" and going back through here sh, he is not going away and he is at this very, very tenaciously. >> and someone who has written two books, i always do twitch a little when somebody is described as a writer who has not written their book, but i will let that go. >> oh, to the quick. >> and those of us who have written pooh books, it is a sensitive subject. kirsten, what about these 100 days? >> well, is is correct that the neil gorsuch on the supreme court is by far the biggest accomplishme accomplishment, but it is the el telling the thing that he outsourced and not handled by the white house, but outsourced to the federalist society and leonard leo and in fact, completely managed outside of the white house, and went perfectly pretty much. you were talking about him, and

talking about him not getting enough coverage for thing, and this is because he steps on almost every good story that he has and that is speaking why the first 100 days have been chaotic, because he is constantly putting tout tweets and sending people down different rabbit trails instead of talking about the good things that he is doing, and obamacare is a huge loss for him as well, and i think that spending the first 100 days and finding out that he is under fbi investigation of connection to russia and the staff -- >> of which don't exist -- >> and those things taken together don't give us a smooth look. >> and shawn, with these people in the white house, and the examples of the leaking from the people in the white house, shock, and what do they see as the biggest obstacle in terms of the things that you have seen? >> well, some of them that you

have outlined no biggest legislative achievements. and the biggest thing, health care, stalled and the executive order stalled, the immigration order in terms of the banning people from certain muslim majority countries in the middle east and those are two big named items that didn't go well, and that is tough. and they do want to take confidence of the stock market going up, and job announcements of the company, and the even if they had them in the works long before donald trump came n and you know, the economic indicators were good on november 8th last year, but trump won anyw anyway, because trump did not feel that the economy was going well and if he can turn around and look at that, it would be a success. >> are they concerned, and this is the communications people after all how donald trump makes it available for them to stay on task. >> and this is a frustration, because they wake up saturday morning and he is tweeting about obama is wiretapping him in a

way to go defend without evidence, and they have had to continue to defend it without evidence and as you said, stepping on the good and the bad stories. >> and ahead, a passenger dragged off of a flight after refusing to give up his seat. and united is getting a backlash because they were needing his seat for employees. just like the people who own them, every business is different. but every one of those businesses will need legal help as they age and grow. whether it be with customer contracts, agreements to lease a space or protecting your work. legalzoom's network of attorneys can help you, every step of the way. so you can focus on what you do and we'll handle the legal stuff that comes up along the way. legalzoom. legal help is here.

>> tonight united air lieps is facing criticism after video of one of its passengers being dragged off the flight went viral. the plane was overbooked in which most travelers can relate to. what happened next, though is anything but ordinary. renee marsh has details. >> reporter: the pictures are hard to believe. it happened when the united airlines passenger refused to give up his seat on sunday night. passengers were horrified as they watched three chicago airport police officers board the plane and yank the man from the seat.

you could see the blood flowing from his mouth as he was pulled down the aisle. >> oh, my god, look at what you did to him. >> reporter: witnesses say the flight crew was trying to free up seats for united air hp lines personnel. >> the other passengers were just berating the employees saying things like you should be ashamed of yourself, you should be embarrassed to work for this company. >> reporter: in a statement they said the flight was overbooked. the situation is resolved. however, this was not the case on sunday night's flight, and united was forced into an involuntary deboarding situation. passenger rights advocate faults the airline for not offering more compensation.

>> mack. boarding is 1300 in cash. they could have offered the maximum. the backlash prompted the airline's ceo to respond tweeting i apologize for having to recomidate these customers. our team is moving is moving to work with authorities. >> was the passenger wrong in anyway way for refusing to get off? >> i don't think he was wrong. i think my only way of saying he was wrong -- well, i've never seen this happen before. i've never seen a passenger roughed up and dragged off a plane to put an employee on. i mean that's just idiocy.

>> now, that statement from the ceo has to be one of the worst. the idea of reaccommodating one of the passengers. and the seats were taken bayounited airlines employs. is there any action to be taken? >> i do know at this point the department of transportation, they tell cnn they are reviewing this incident to determine if the passenger's rights were violated in any way. the airline is telling cnn is saying it offered $1,000 in compensation for offering to give up their seats. but they say they should have offered the maximum, 1300 or

1350. it is in print that they can make a passenger give up their seat if a flight is overbooked, but it reel is the way this man was removed that's sparking outrage. and united airlines is ranked by consumers as having the worst customer service. we're going to take an in-depth loog at the international challenges facing president trump who campaigned on putting america first. from syria, to russia to north korea and china, it is a full line-up. ld needs to be fixed... trust safelite autoglass. for these parents, driving around was the only way to get their baby to sleep. so when their windshield got cracked... customer: we can't drive this car. tech: ...they wanted it fixed right. so they scheduled with safelite. our exclusive trueseal technology means a strong, reliabe bond, every time. at safelite, we stand behind our work. bye, bye. because the ones you love, sit behind it.
