lauren: 530 in the new york monday, april 15th and lauren simonetti. cheryl: good morning. i'm cheryl casone padlocked a mother, the white house planning to sanctions on russia after warnings of airstrikes and chemical attacks continue in syria. >> washington d.c. with the very latest based in the, lauren and cheryl. ambassador nikki haley did not mince her words putting bashar al-assad on notice. >> the president has made it clear when it comes to weapons of mass destruction we have no tolerance for her. and so he made a point and hopefully assad gets a period of assad doesn't get it, it's going to hurt. >> new economic sanctions against russia are forthcoming. note in russia has bought six attempts by the u.n. security

council to further investigate use of the chemical weapons. the kremlin is responding seen in a statement slugger pruden in particular stress as a sanction is committed in violation of the u.n. charter continue it will inevitably lead to chaos in your international relations. president trump declaring mission accomplished. performing them of the actions while acting pursuant to a constitutional authority to conduct relations and as commander in chief and chief executive in the vital national security and foreign policy interest of the united states, he added he would take additional steps as necessary and appropriate. some on capitol hill were questioning that authority. >> you supposed to come to congress to seek permission to initiate award. what is to stop them from starting a bombing campaign

against iran or north korea and other nations saying i think it's in the national interest. >> in their faces lawmakers and to her participation acted without approval and will defend not today though the approval is not required before in such such situations it's just customary. lauren, cheryl. >> griff jenkins, thank you very much. mr. brandt senior fellow military expert for defense priorities, to colonel dana davis. do not rain tomorrow. gentlemen, good morning. >> good morning. lauren: how successful do you think the strikes were because you have before and after photos and they show the destruction to three chemical weapons facilities. >> there is no question the facilities were absolutely flattened and destroyed. utterly annihilated. the bigger question is towards what end. so far all evidence appears they were pretty much empty.

the question is what was the message that was received? we know what we wanted to send, the assad responded with 28 airstrikes and heavy artillery in the very area where all these things took place. i'm not sure the message we want to be received has been received. the bigger question is then white. they respond militarily to a chemical weapons attack. those are big questions that need to be answered. >> you bring up a good point when there is potentially a chemical attack and makes you wonder what the redline is. listen to what u.s. ambassador nikki haley had to say. >> we have to be confident of the fact that we can allow the smallest use of chemical weapons. that's why you saw the president start this last weekend index fell 60 russian spies after the attack in salisbury. this very easily could have been in the united states for not smart and if we are not conscious of what is happening.

>> i'm kind of wondering what the redline is here. as a chemical weapons when there's video of the attack, conventional weapons, what is it? >> i interpret that to mean a redline is going to use chemical on a small scale without some type of response. it's very vague as to what that is. it might be sanctions are some small measure. it's not a commitment that every time someone uses chemical weapons we have to go to war and bomb them. ash is not how i'm interpreting it. each situation is different so i don't feel like were getting pushed into a corner for this route for this rude result in endless military conflict because the fact of the matter is it's pretty easy to make chemical weapons if you have a country and rogue states are going to do that regularly. we should also talk about biological weapons even worse than relatively easy to produce. >> colonel davis, we think we know the instinct of the president here because before he

did say he wanted to pull out of syria and take out two dozen u.s. troops and pull them out. things have certainly changed. what is the strategy now? >> i hope he continues that the strategy because those troops on the ground saddle us with enormous strategic risk because of the russian armed forces commiserated armed forces, iranian code forces. possible clashes with the road ally in turkey. we give very little. in fact, we get no strategic benefit from having our troops there and with plenty of strategic assets to keep our interest safe in the region. the troops to help us with their entries, but it does put a lot of stress and risk for us. i hope the president continues what he says and removes those troops in the near future. lauren: we are expecting new sanctions to be announced today. additional sanctions against russia. how do you expect russia to retaliate here? >> with the normal drama. every time there's a

disagreement figure that dramatic reaction. as a result of the world war iii they always predicting. general mattis in the u.s. military killed a whole bunch of russians not that long ago in syria as they approached the forces we are training in u.s. forces on the ground involved in that area. we heard similar rhetoric after the first strike on the syrian airbase following a chemical attack and nothing happened and the russians left the area. so i see the same pattern happening over and over again. as much as i would love to be out of syria go anywhere in the world, keep in mind it's not just about bases in syria. assad which is iran and hezbollah, countless other rebels of the international g.i. w.'s the territory to strike at us and the best thing they have going is the alliance of kurds, arabs and christians that we're trying to train. you've got to have locals on the ground that will fight for you so you don't have to.

no other choice. >> a tough and complicated way forward. thank you very much. i just want to point out that investors seem to think it was a successful limited strike. >> futures are up right now. also some big news for consumers and companies coming out. supreme court hearing a new case today that could end up costing consumers big bucks while shopping a national case. >> tracee carrasco joins us with more on that another headlines. hey, tracee. >> this could make you rethink how you online top. you will hear the case against online retailers not collecting sales tax from customers. if an online retailer shipping to estate that doesn't have a brick-and-mortar store, then it doesn't have to collect the sales tax. more than 40 states are asking the supreme court to reconsider the role because they are busy and out of the tax dollars.

however, changing the rule could hurt some small stores. third-party sellers on small starts like blue nile and those who sell on ebay and at sea. a lot at stake here especially for these brick-and-mortar stores, online retailers and of course the shoppers. trent did the president has argued online companies like amazon put smaller stores out of business. you have a lot to watch. >> goldman sachs is investing in a new ad. >> goldman sachs has.clarity money which housed people manage their personal finances. goldman sachs hopes this will boost its online business including markets launched in 2016 and has since provided to $.5 billion in personal loans online as well as offer high interest savings accounts. >> getting on an investment banking at least a little bit. we have a new weekend box office winner. lauren: we do, rampage.
