>> lou: rex tillerson following the president's lead of directness. tillerson opened talks with vladimar putin two hours in the puttin. tillerson said he and putin don't agree on much. >> there is a low level of trust between our two countrieses. the world's foremost nuclear

powers can't have this relationship. lou low one could say the working trust level is deteriorated. and relations as the president met with the nato general. the president said the relationship is at an all- time low with russia >> right now we are not getting along with russia at all. we are at an all- time low. this has built for a period of time. we'll see about putin. and it would be fantast footballing get along with putin and russia and it may be the opposite. >> i would love to get along with everybody. right now the world is a mess p. but i think by the time we

finish it would be a better place to live. >> lou: the global a liiance is no longer obsolete. joining me right now. best selling author and just all around americanment pat buchan an. >> let's turn to syria. the president said we are not going in despite the concerns. and some express that they are afraid it would be a quagmire. you are concerned it would consume the trump white house. your thoughts here tonight. >> we put one foot. the president put a foot in

syria. i am afraid, lou, if he puts a second foot in, we'll number a major sieve issil war. it is a war i don't see the end in site is of. i hope what the president said we are not going in syria i hope that is reality. he will get heavy pressure from the neocon and war hawks. and the people against him most are happiest about the strike. >> lou: the neocons who are assimulated in so many organizations. there but not as i am reminded with the trump white house. speaking of the trump white house, it is a distraction for at least the national left wing media. it may be good or bad defending on your interpretation.

the bannon/jared, ivanka, reince priebus contest. what do you make of it and how concerned are you? >> i am a bit concerned. i read the new york post where the president said i love steve but, i like steve but, he has to stop taking credit for my p strategy and victory. and top these internal wars or he is gone. that was brutally frank and blunt. it would be a mistake for the president to follow-through on a threat, lou. bannon represents and deals with popullist national america first wing of the trump coalition. if he goes, the base will be

looking hard at who is left behind and who got him. >> lou: they are tricky times. he could get broad sided. the folks, the president has relied upon here and they include obviously speaker paul ryan. what he did in congress and simply misjudging or misy representing the vote any way you look at it. that is malfesans of a high order. i don't know what would happen with the programs given the leadership from the the house. bannon, he may be a tough go, but he among other people and stefan miller, these are the people who are the heart and

soul of the president's spirit that he brings to the issues of economic nationalism and popullism and not the line up of wall street, savants that are brought in. >> i think that is right, lou. look at key states that brought him victory. wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania, that's where economic patriotism and immigration issue and america first rally these folks. they came out and provided the president with a margin of victory he had. if bannon left, you're heavy on goldman sachs in the white house. that is not the reason donald trump won. with to speaker of the house ryan. upon you have the economic

conservative and conservative base of the republican party and both wings that you need. if you plose either one, you are going to be in real trouble. take the president he has a problem ahead. i don't know if the health care thing will go through. that is first in line and after that tax reform. >> he's talking optimistically about bochlth there are reports of significant between mark meadowses talking about that with the white house. weather whether that is true we'll not find out until someone is ready to take the vote. >> suppose it gets through the house and goes to senate and they do their thing on the bill and comes back to the house and they vote on the compromise that comes as a conference. this is hanging by a hair.

you know, maybe it does get through. it is a three bang shot. >> lou: but better to be made especially after paul ryan played a round of golf for the president. he is a doubtful follower of the president to a kindred spirit. >> i think he is. >> lou: i think so, too. please roll the video. a basket full of sky diver and leaping for a beautiful decent over paris, california. former speaker of the house calling for the removal of syria

and north korea dictator. >> the best result in north corcore and syria get the military to replace the dictator, you would have a more rational and stable government. >> lou: talking about the congressional seat that newt gingrich once held. here next. and this thrill seeker turns a skyscraper in his personal playground. we'll show you his terrifying tricks high above hong kong.

>> lou: voters in kansas going to the polls to vote on a seat vacated by mike pompa yo. president trump made a robo call for the election. they are filling the house vacated by hss secretary tom price. my next guest held it in georgia for two decades.

joining us is the former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. great to have you with with us. >> it is great to be here. >> lou: we have two competitive races and everybody thought it was a automatic yawnor. >> all of the focus of the administration team is on governing and trying to figure out how to run the place. there is not much emphasis on politics. but the opposition party can pour all of your energy in trying to win seats. my guess is, we'll win kansas by a reasonable margin. my guess in the end the democrat will lose in georgia. he is the great liberal hope. on the cover of the new york

magazine. and raised 10 million. every democrat and liberal see its as a great moment. my guess it 42 percent and lose 45 percent in the second round. a week ago he had more momentum and more people know him they realize he is liberal and 95 percent of the money comes from outside of the state. i think he will gradually shrink to be the obama/clinton candidate and in that district is not a winning ticket. >> lou: it suggests things going on that republicans wish were not. 10 million in a congressional race is a big deal particularly on just one side of it. turning to north korea and turning to syria. you have said you would like to

see the united states remove both dictators in the countries, the question looms how. >> i don't want us to remove them. i would like us to support activities to lead the military to remove them of their own country. i really, really worry about north korea because kim jong-un has no relationship to reality. i don't think he ever left the country and no idea what he's dealing with. and soeul, korea is so close no to the north korean boundary it is in danger if he goes a little crazy. he recently killed his uncle and last week killed his half brother and he recently killed five officers with an anti-

aircraft gun. this is not your normal every day dictator. >> this is the most recent murders. and a long history of murders, those are the most recent and there may be a fairly large number of people to figure out how to replace him if they could be. >> in the case of assad. there is a case that assady replace the nonsunni. if you are christian or dreweds you rally around assad. and one of the lessons from libya and yemen and somalia. blowing it apart doesn't do any good. if we find a way to get the syrian military to replace him, life would get better.

that would be the best outcome in the short run. our role would not be go directly in there at all unless he does more gas attacks and my guess is that the president would hit him with more military power. but the president i don't think would be inclined to put ground forces to syria. >> lou: it is a number of people in the senate talking about boots on the grouvenltd there is a strong neocon impulse on capitol hill. and there is insinuateed that strong neocon reflex that wantses to go to war at the drop of the hat. how strong are the they. >> they are not powerful in the administration.

general mattis who was involved in two wars in the last 15 years and understands that wars are ea easier to get in than out of. we don't have a record today of learning how to impose our will effectively. afghanistan is frag and i will iraq is frail sxij somalia and libya is a disaster. we need to be careful before we put ground troops in a place like syria. >> lou: you would think our military would be led by modest men no matter how many stars on their shoulders. newt gingrich, thank you. >> thank you. >> lou: this adrenalin junkie leaping from one ledge to another and performing death defying stuntses.

the fearless stunt man leaping down a story. and that is scary stuff and president trump promised to make our military great again and susan rice. hot line the and yes, again. and left wing media is acknowledging her problems with the truth. don't miss a

>> lou: more questions about the surveillance of the trump transition team. the washington post reports that the fbi public obtained a warrant to watch over communication from former trump campaign advisor carter are page. catherine herridge talked to page and has the report.

>> i have nothing to hide. and the more that the truth comes out the better. >> reporter: carter page responded to allegations and confirmed by fox he was the subject of u.s. surveillance last summer. >> to get a surveillance warrant, the fbi has to have solid evidence. and so how do you explain it? >> we shall see. again, there was a tremendous amount of false evidence. >> reporter: he blamed a former british intelligence officer. >> it may have come from the doszier. >> reporter: but fbi director comey said it is illegal to monitor american citizen is. >> those applications are thick as my wrist and a huge pain in the neck to get permissioning to

bug somebody in the united states and that's the way it should be. >> reporter: the senate democrat is fully brief. >> i can't comment on the warrant. but if the warrant has been issued, it is a very, very serious matter. >> reporter: the fbi investigated efforts by the puttin government. the identified male dash one. the allegations that you passed energy documents to a russian intelligence operative; is that what happened? >> it was the same energy documentses that i gave to my students in nyu. >> reporter: did the russians try to rekraut you? >> i was never asked to do anything untoward or otherwise. >> reporter: he had no contact with paul manafort whose spokesman said that manafort

received 1.2 million is incorrect. >> reporter: and to register with the justice department as agents for the foreign government is described as routine with special authorities, lou. >> lou: great reporting. it is interesting to see the number of people who are deciding to register or report on aspects of the daily lives. >> reporter: a lot of dots are connecting at the same time. >> we appreciate the job you do, thanks. >> lou: no one wants victory over the enemies of the great nation than me. buoy we with have squandered so much and received so nlths the war against terror.

our military is shrinking down. only three combat ready brigades. and the heavy tolls. 5400 military have been killed. 4 trillion spent on wars since september 11th. and a period of 16 years without a lasting victory and without a successful general to lead another parade through the troops through the canyon of heroes. there is something quite not right about general and presidential advisors acting as if air strikes in which they reign down missiles in an air base in syria represents a great american victory. who go on sunday talk show and pound their chest. have we been so long in the war

that we forgot the sacrifice of troops and expenditures of trillions of dollars. and our generals so little modesty and humility of all they haven't been able to achieve and leading the world's only super power. have we been so long without victory, we forgot what the word mean and how can it be mejz mentioned not even once. we are a bigger and far better nation and so should our general and leaders. we should have learned that lesson. and for all of our sakes. let's repeat no more the mistakes of our sorry history. a quotation of general and perspective of our generals. from the duke of welington.

as lord chester said of the generals of his day. i hope when the enemy reads the list of their names, they tremble as i do. >> the syria air strikes delivering a clear message to the assad regime. >> the objective is to send a message to assad. this is the first time that the united states acted against the assad regime. >> what is the meaning for north korean and russian and chinese. ann coulters joins me next. no dog left behind. i'm ambitious. i will not hide it. we will not hide it. we embrace ambition. women are made to be ambitious. i will dream big... big, without hesitation. we will take risks,

not live in fear. we will rise together, rise above the negativity. no longer will ambition in a woman be seen as a negative. be persistent, don't apologize. never give up on your goals and dreams. we will model ambition for our daughters and our sons. i will help women around the world -the whole world- to succeed. you have to persevere. women are tough, strong, powerful. we have got to be a part of this conversation. ambition is feminine. ambition is empowering. ambition is not a dirty word. i can think of a lot of dirty words - ambition is not one of them. ambition is sexy - ambition is very sexy. what's your ambition? ... to help women build empires. ... help more women run for office. ... empower women financially. ... help women entrepreneurs. ... create powerful images. ... change people's lives. ... fight gender stereotypes. ... equality for all. ... for all of us to lean in together. ... to transform societies. ... change the world. ... take the stigma out of the word ambition. own your power. own your power. own your drive. own your dreams.

own your dreams. no judgments. no judgments. we own it. take the pledge. take the pledge. embrace ambition. will you?

>> lou: the maximum number of pinochios she earned four after she claimed that president trump got the assad regime to give up all of its chemical weapons. >> we found a solution that removed the chemical weapons in the way that use of force would not have accomplish. >> lou: oh, that use of force thing. politico fact had to retrack

their claim of kerry's claim that all chemical weapons were removed. not a good day for integrity and honesty. and joining me on the latest of the syria strike and white house infighting is ann coulter. ann, great to see you again and welcome being to the broadcast. >> thank you you. >> lou: your thoughts on the strike yesterday and it is a special moment in military history? >> i think we have to get rid of all of the generals. i feel like it is dr. strangelove. to a man with a nail all of the world is a hammer. were they paying attention to the trump campaign.

it would be insane to go after ah sawed. we get nothing out and spend trillions and americans die. most of the rest of the world are savages and we are always coming in one point in the bar fight and propping up the loser. and the whole point of the trump campaign. put america first and make america great again and what we should be talking about that anchor babies are not cities and they should be deported, too. and isn't that great trump is not creating works for the dreamers anymore. we don't want to hear about the pay loads and to pocombrafy. >> one of those former generals john kelly testifying that basically the wall is a figure of speech and he created ambip

guity over whether the wall would be built and purpose honored by the man who was chosen by the president to lead homeland security. >> no, i did not know jeb bush was elected president. >> lou: it was one of those moments. >> look, i am sympathetic to president trump's idea he wants to have general george pat pon worked for him. someone needs to tell him he could not be a general. republicans just ask if he is a good military leader. and democrats want to know if he pronoted transgender bathroom. remember after the fort hood

shooting, it is a tragedy as fort hood was, the greater tragedy would be if diversity would be become a casulty. if you want someone from the military get a corporal. kelly head of homeland security told a group of democrats, that he was the best friend dacka had. and they are still printing work permits for illegal aliens. and the generals succumb to the obama era doctorine of political correctness and wafering ambitions, that they haven't been deprogrammed at least a number of them. turn if we may to justice

gorsuch. i mean, talk p promise on the supreme court. he seems to be brimming with it. your thoughts? >> i hope so. we'll see. the history of supreme court judges is that of ours go bad and theirs dobt. it is great and would have been a disaster if if it was hillary. but we are treading water. we are replacing scalian and not as if we replace ruth vader- gins berg. we are replacing a great judge when what we hope is a great j. >> gorsuch so manies to have promise to rise to a sca lia-

like stature. >> i hope you are right. i will join your optimism. >> lou: the idea that the administration did so much so quickly. i think given too little notice at large and to some degree because of their own messaging. but trump has done a marvelous job unlike any other president you have seen. your thoughts. >> when i wrote a d ios, america. i thought the country had ten percent chance on november 8th. it went up to 90 percent. but there is a lot to get done. that's why i at least was particularly disturbedded by the syria bombing. it is the same thing over and over.

politicians give us the rhetoric and know what the people want. and we want to put america first and a wall on the border and rather have politicians weeping about kate stienel and certainly not a vital national security interest. but there is a lot to get done. >> lou: we got you to that point, my gosh. great to see you. you you mind if i call you sunshine from now on. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> lou: a daring rescue caught on camera. a canadian man jumping in the icy pond to rescue his dog. the french bull dog fell through the ice. duncan mcgiver and his pup

cosmo. only to plunge through the ice before reaching dry land. and president trump is not giving up to repealing and replacing obamacare. and the trump agenda with the five's kimberly gilford. and united airlines treatment of a passenger sparks outrage. first the ceo apologizeses and first the ceo apologizeses and now really, really sorry. wow. college already yeah! we gotta go yeah (sfx:car starts, car door closes)

>> lou: president trump is not giving up on the health care package. this is what he told our colleague, maria. >> obamacare is a total mess. we are saving tremendous amounts of money when we get it done and we'll have great health care and all of that savings goes into the tax. if you can't do that you can't

put the savings in the tax cut reform. >> lou: the rest of the interview is with maria in the morning. joining me to discuss the immigration crack down is kimberly. >> thank you. >> lou: attorney general jeff sessions disappeared for a now week and now the full on. >> he's back. i love it. this is consistent with the messaging and promises of candidate trump and now he put jeff session ises in and basically affecteate all of the policy. and being a former prosecutor in los angeles and san francisco. i think it is great. you have to have borders.

you have to enforce the laws. >> lou: most people are stunned to hear a attorney general to say it is a felony to commit document fraud. >> he said you will not commit crimes against the border patrol level and they will enforce the laws and it is no more beanbag time, lou. they will be equal force. >> lou: attorney general sessions not disappointing. he brings intellect and character. >> you can see the imgrakt. 72 percent and in terms of not coming over and crossing. trump is the wall. i don't want no part of that. lou low i think it is the trump affect without question.

there is a peculliar affect in the white house among steve bannon, the president's chief strategist and jared, his kushner, i am sorry. >> reince priebus. >> lou: to see that infighting and globalist and economic nationalist and popullist. where are we with this? >> it seems to be a theme in the campaign in terms of putting america first and putting forth that agenda and uniction of message. they are concerned that perhaps this would be ill advoiceed change of messages. lou low 180 degrees from the message. nsfin around, lou, that is

a problem. nevertheless, i am encouraged when i see the things that are happening like the push back being and forceful way they are going against illegal immigration andy we need tough economic policy. >> i am with you. i don't understand gary and kevin masters. i think pretty well, he's in the white house. but the games that are played around the man are striking and we have seen paul ryan subvert the agenda purposefully. because otherwise he is incompetent. and the president's agenda has been be dismissed. and the establishment seems to be winning every battle including the appointment of kevin hasit to chairman of the economic advisor. he's mr. outsourcing and mr.

offshoring and mr. corporate america. where are the people for you? come on. >> it is a power shift that is taking place and perhaps, the president was very good and capable of resetting each time he came up against something and he's seeing it as a reset and there was a disappointment with the promises on health care and ryan getting it through and priebus and you can see what is happening. >> lou: what keeps him up. >> i watch the repeat pos. >> lou: thank you. appreciate it. national left wing media outraged with sean spicer with comparing assad to hitler. where was the outrage when the media compared trump to hitler.

and we'll take up the motives with matt and molly

>> lou: joining us now is senior editor. molly hemming way and galloway. where was the back lash? >> my favorite version. cnn had a story never compare

anything or anyone to hitler. and then three other articles of how cnn had run of hitler comparison. after 2016, so many people in the media openly stated that donald trump is a bigger threat than hitler himself is upset with shine spicer said that. >> lou: no one thinks he's antisemitic or incontinuingally said that. it is like a giant game they are in and i think it is pretend outrage. >> it is pretend and then the defensively on the part of the conservatives when it occurs to them. which they do fall in line or simply roll over and say, sorry.

but no one said a word about p the left. neither there it is i would say until people can find some equity and fairness here and expect the same conduct. >> we are down the rabbit hole. conservative speakers that are blocked and i interviewed people who are just this week from the city journal. the lady who war the war on cops. heath heather mcdonald she is pro police and they blocked the entrance. >> lou: the institution shouldn't. turning to united ceo carlos munoz. the man is getting more sincere

in his apology. i am thinking by next tuesday he will have it done well. what a disaster he made. >> couldn't happen to a nicer airline and it resonated with so many people. you purchase the ticket. they handle you however they want. they should have uped people more money and that's what they should have done. and instead it will cost them more not only how it hit their stock price but payout to this man and other people on the plane. >> the federal government regulates how much they can payout. >> they regulate how much the cost of the ticket.

>> 1350. >> and that is the floor. i think it is poorly written regulation and nothing to do with voluntarily departing. just offer more. >> lou: i love the thought. each time you are ready to go out on a flight the auctioneers voice. here we are at 2500. 2750. i love it. but i tell you this, it boats the dickens out of the inhuman concept. we are pleased to tell you four of you are selected by random computers to leave the aircraft. >> this guy will not fly coach anymore. he will number the front of his life. >> we are talking an eight figure settlement. >> he's got theulars salivating.

>> lou: one day to make it smoother. take his salary and give it to the passenger. nicole: breaking news this morning. vice president mike pence visits north korea and has nuclear ambitions running out here good morning. i am nicole petallides. lauren: welcome back to you. i am then for lauren simonetti appeared president trump defends his decision not to bring china a manipulator into the fabric of the u.s. terrain in north korea. markets reopen in the u.s. after a long weekend after falling over 200.53. checking in on your side wreck it features right now, doubt on 23, s&p three. lea: nation, better than
