>> welcome to america's news headquarters on the road. we wish you were here, it is a beautiful day in south florida as donald trump enjoys his weekend. >> gorgeous weather, thanks for joining us this saturday. it is another high-stakes working weekends for president donald trump and his foreign-policy team as they chart their next move if any to punish syria but there are media reports alleging a possible shakeup among members of the trump inner circle. kristin fisher is in palm beach with the latest. what can you tell us? >> reporter: the white house is downplaying any reports of a staff shakeup, dealing with all the fallout from taking the first major military action. donald trump continues to believe his decision to strike

syria was a good one. he posted on twitter an hour ago congratulations to great military men and women representing the united states and the world in the syria attack, donald trump is at trump international golf club in west palm beach, don't know if he's holding meetings for playing golf but behind the scenes his team is working on what to do next about two countries, russia and syria. the pentagon is investigating if russia had a hand in carrying out or trying to cover up his chemical weapons attack while russian ships arms with cruz missiles are heading toward the navy destroyers that launched those missiles was as for syria the white house says it is preparing to do more if necessary, read into that what you will, we will ounce new sanctions on syria sometime soon. all of this happening as donald trump meets with the chinese president xi jinping for the

first time and yesterday sean spicer said this decision to take military action decisively in serious and the clear message to the chinese. >> the sends a signal around the world that this president is one that acts decisively, the chinese saw what kind of president this is. >> reporter: as for these reports of a staff shakeup there have been a growing number of reports the chief of staff rights priebus and chief strategist the van and may be on the way out or being considered for a possible demotion at the white house says flat out those reports are false and what we learned is this is from a senior administration official, on thursday donald trump ordered reince priebus and steve bennett, quote, work it out on friday at morrow lago donald trump's senior advisor and son-in-law jared kushner sat down with steve been into,

quote, bury the hatchet and all of that was organized by priebus at the behest of donald trump according to the senior administration official. there is still tension there but this white house says all sides agreed to move forward but you never know what this white house, proven time and time again anything is possible, they are willing to be flex blend change of the situation warrants. elizabeth: thank you for bringing it down for us. leland: we are learning more about the airstrikes that were launched by donald trump including how much damage or perhaps how little damage in the grand scheme of his they did. following at all from the pentagon, burning the midnight oil. >> reporter: a short time ago a defense official told me less than a dozen syrian jets were untouched in the cruise missile strike making it likely they could be used again in the

future and that is because the runway was largely left unscathed. the 59 tomahawk cruise missiles destroyed ammunition depots, fuel farms, the runway was left untouched. that is because tomahawk missiles are not used to crater runways. you need manned aircraft to drop 500 laser guided bombs to put holes in the runway. 100 russian military personnel were left unscathed. senior officials in strike using 59 tomahawk cruise missiles and two navy destroyers was meant to send a message to potential adversaries following the chemical weapons attack. senior military officials say a russian drone seen over the hospital where victims to these chemical attacks, 5 hours later, russian or syrian jets bonded in an effort to kill more people and destroy the evidence of the chemical attack. the us ambassador to the united

nations would not rule out more strikes in the future. >> the united states took a measured step last night. we are prepared more but we hope that will not be necessary. the international community consistently fails and it duty to act collectively. there are times when states are compelled to take their own action. the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons against innocent civilians is one of those times. >> reporter: fox news just has learned one of those destroys the steaming to an undisclosed location in the mediterranean. leland: back to you as we get more thank you. elizabeth: swedish police arrested a man they believe drove a hijacked year truck into crowds in central stockholm killing four and injuring 15

others in a terror attack yesterday. the suspect in custody is a 39-year-old man, police are not ruling out the possibility more people were involved in the attack and investigating object found on the truck that may be an explosive device was we have an update a little later on on the show. >> for more insight on a terror attack in sweden and what is going on in the middle east as it relates to syria. wally ferris, fort affairs expert in west palm beach, always good to see you. what does bashar assad think as he wakes up you >> he realizes he got a very strong message, the strike was a message mainly for this regime, and to his allies. >> reporter: a strong message but doesn't seem as though it was anything close to a decapitating below. some analysts say pinprick is a

better term. >> it was not to topple the regime, it is clear. there is another plan in case he moves forward with these weapons. a more extended plan, it the russians continue this. >> reporter: you brought in the russian issue. we heard from jennifer griffin at the pentagon, not only did the military to great pains not to kill any russians at the airbase but also they had to deal with only using tomahawk cruise missiles because the russian are defenses inside syria. it seems the options available to donald trump in 2017 are vastly different from what was available to president obama in 2015. >> at the time of the obama threat, the russian president was not extended, the iranian hezbollah, not everyone is there. if you want to make a decision

to take on the entire regime is clashing with russians, but they understand we are determined, donald trump is determined to make sure these weapons are not used in there is political negligence. >> reporter: you brought up the key players, the russians, iranians and syrians and you may add into that the north koreans in a different way but when assad and the ayatollah and vladimir putin get on the conference call don't they go this is what americans always do? >> the russian geopolitical interests, on their base, they won't kill themselves for a battle for the regime in eastern syria. the iranians have a different interest, they want a highway between iran and iraq and syria and hezbollah. they are the ones to fight, the ones to mobilize hezbollah in weakening the regime so there's a difference between the russian

position. >> reporter: they are looking to the united states in how much strength we have shown. is it enough in your opinion for that purpose? >> there was. my concern is what comes after. >> we talk about the tactics, do you have airfields or blowup the jets themselves, do you hit weapons storage facility? what is the strategy? >> to seize land from isis, on the eastern part of the country, the balance of power will change at that point. >> going forward, assad stays or goes or should we stop worrying? >> don't go back to eastern syria. the fate of bashar al-assad will not be decided just by that but the entire community and that is far down the line. >> reporter: assad's future is down the line. what are the rest of our allies thinking? this is not enough to assuage

fears of the jordanians and israelis who felt so abandoned by president obama. >> they changed completely. >> reporter: is their attitude changed? >> they don't need to leave. we are showing them we are leading. there will be more meetings, that has to do with that. leadership is back. >> last question, you advised the trump administration in the past, is this something they were talking about during the campaign or was it a 180 ° turn when donald trump saw those pictures of children who had been guest? >> during the campaign these were principles. i don't remember going into the details. the principles maintained. >> to the european connection. syria is the home of isis where is obligated we saw this attack inside sweden where someone ran a truck into a department store

and went on the run and the rest is as we reported. where did this go from here? with the idea of taking out isis inside syria enough? >> i speak with french, british, everybody. they want us to liberate easton syria and then focus on political problems in syria. >> reporter: breaking it all down for us, enjoy the south florida sunshine, great to be here. a lot of discussions down here as it relates to this and a lot of discussions back in washington this weekend as well. >> tensions escalate between the us and russia. secretary of state rex tiller to the sun is like finishing moscow to meet with his russian counterpart focusing on counterterrorism strategy and the us russian relations which have been tested over the past

72 hours. alicia? >> i want to start with this trip next week because certainly rex tillerson had a lot on his plate, the trip hasn't been canceled, it will still go forward. with your reporting as they approach the meeting what is the landscape between the leaders? >> it will be interesting given his background in russia. strike this week changed the dynamics. their position o assad has changed quickly, this week assad has to go and trump took a strike on him. >> how has it changed? what was the game plan.

>> when russia's behavior in ukraine, violations of the treaty, now you have this -- russia is serious about the strike. they were looking for ways to cooperate in the us will be pushing its line on assad, syria, diving into these issues. they were furious about the strike and we have seen their reaction, russia has been riding in a number of ways for a number of years and that may be just for show. >> i think secretary trump, others were clear russia has not been doing its part to rein in assad regime. they will capitalize on this pr battle anyway they can.

absolutely. >> they have moved ships closer, they no longer communicate with armed forces in syria and collisions of aircraft is that also for show? will we see more aggression from russia? >> absolutely. the channel they suspended makes the situation more risky for the us and russia and syria. we don't know what they are going to do. the obama administration, not taking these strikes. there was a fear that everything would escalate. air defense will kick in. we have to see if they use this as a bargaining chip next weekend restore that mode of communication, or are they going to do something else, the situation is volatile.

>> thank you, we appreciate it. we will be speaking with two members of congress from both sides of the aisle about the airstrikes and tomorrow howard kurtz will talk to kellyanne conway about the coverage of the syria strikes and the confirmation of neil gorsuch. chris wallace sitting down for an exclusive interview with national security advisor, general mc masters. >> look forward to both of those, he had on secretary tillerson's trip to moscow, allegation the russia's meddling continue to dog the white house and the kremlin. rigid joining us from dc where he is following it all especially the way it turned on capitol hill. >> the investigations have become controversial. house intelligence to many

chairman devon nunez is recusing himself from the committee investigation into russian interference in the us presidential election. he announced he would step aside from the panel investigation into russia's efforts to disrupt the election because of an ethics investigation into whether he made unauthorized disclosures of classified information. nunez combat investigation politically motivated and defended his conduct. >> why did you step aside from the panel? >> i already gave a statement on it. it is temporary and i expect this to get them quickly. >> you stand by the idea you did nothing wrong? >> that is right. >> if you have done nothing wrong, why step aside? >> i did it because i had a right to. >> reporter: the senior member of the committee will leave the house intelligence investigation. congressional investigators are examining donald trump's unsubstantiated claim president

obama wiretapped him and calls republicans, the national security adviser susan rice to testify. at issue her request in a trump associates cardin surveillance that is routine and when americans are caught speaking with foreign nationals the names i'm asked to present their identities. right claims she asked to better understand intelligence and maintains she never revealed the names publicly. >> more on that throughout the show. lots to talk about his secretary tillerson visits. >> members of congress head home for easter weekend. they make it an earful for their vigilance, we explain why. a fair and balanced look at the new supreme court. now that neil gorsuch has been confirmed to replace antonin scalia.

home for an easter recess but they left washington with a lot of unfinished business including passing a bill to repeal and replace obamacare. . doozy joins us with the latest. >> reporter: congress is a way for two weeks, two week chunk out of 200 a plan to repeal and replace obamacare and reform the tax-cut neither of which seem close to happening. i have seen talk about keeping lawmakers around until the republican party could agree on an obamacare replacement but just because they doesn't doesn't mean they can't. >> this is one of those ideas that gets us closer to consensus. there are more ideas we are working on and we will keep working on days and weeks ahead to find the contention and get this bill done. >> democrat seemed delighted the republican majority is and using their numbers to muscle through the things they campaigned on and donald trump seems to think he can get them on board when he

close the infrastructure improvement package but until that happens if it ever happens the democratic minority leader will point out even though they don't have control of either house of congress they haven't been seeing any big changes to the laws passed when they did. >> republican house parts were two week break for the easter passover holidays, the same questions from their constituents, what have the republicans done with their control of the house, the senate and the white house to produce jobs. where are the jobs? >> something else that is the congressional checklist, debate over use of force in syria but everyone seems to think it is time to talk about how to hit assad and how much money to spend on it. the only lawmaker i have spoken to who doesn't seem concerned with that is lindsey graham. i asked senator graham if he would be concerned if there was another airstrike without asking

congress and graham said no. elizabeth: thank you, appreciate it. leland: a little trivia overseas, one of redknapp's most iconic landmarks is getting a facelift. starting today the elizabeth tower in london commonly known as big bend is undergoing its biggest repair work in decades, they need to fix corrosion and water damage. the clock has run since 1859 mostly without interruption through the blitz, world war ii and so much more but it will stop for work on the spring that holds its pendulum. the entire project will take three years. >> the trump administration says it isn't letting up on syria. how it plans to ramp up pressure on the assad regime and why the investigation into why unmasking

trump officials has susan rice in the hot seat. we will explain.

learn more at phassociation.org >> pressure is building to investigate what role russia played the gruesome attack triggered thursday's strike and the trump administration is threatening more punishing measures. kitty logan is in london with international reaction. >> reporter: there has been a lot of international support for the strikes and syria including in the uk. interesting to note the growing diplomatic tension with russia, british foreign secretary bob johnson canceled a scheduled trip to moscow because of events in syria. these images of this horrific little strike in northern syria which sparks global outrage against the syrian government except in russia.

the british government has followed the us and condemning russian support of bashar al-assad. officials -- whether russia may have supported the syrian government in some way in carrying out that attack. the back of the us response, saudi's king calling it a courageous decision, but the iranian president, strong ally of assad called for an investigation of the chemical attack and he has criticized the us missile strikes. even north korea has expressed its opinion, calling strikes an act of aggression but all eyes are on the russian response because of the key role it played in that conflict, the us strikes setback relations between the two countries and could impact cooperation in syria's airspace and also says us missiles are violation of

international law, with serious consequences for the region. russia continues to keep a strong presence around syria but yesterday the russian navy was seen passing through turkish waters headed toward syria. with the tensions with russia secretary of state rex to listen refused to visit moscow next week but keeping up pressure on syria may include sanctions in the future and that will not please russia. leland: the syrian chemical weapons attack throws cold water on the obama administration foreign policy victory lap. susan rice told npr she was proud of the administration's help and agreement that call for the dismantling of syria's chemical weapons program.

take a listen. >> we were able to find a situation that removed the chemical weapons that were known syria in a way the use of force would never have accomplished. leland: washington examiner reported joan kirky joined me. it seems the russians and syrians hoodwinked the obama administration adding this to the list of bad things for susan rice. >> could have been baked in from the beginning. when john kerry negotiated this agreement to get rid of chemical weapons with the russians the first thing they had a talk about was a, quote, shared assessment of the size of bashar al-assad's chemical weapons stockpile. they didn't make it a success -- explicit but hard to imagine in light of the last couple years, the americans come in with a high number and russians a low number and they settle on something in between and assad

has some chemical weapons. >> it didn't seem like a total dismantling, verifiable irreversible dismantling when you talk about libya. more on that in a minute. this brings up the geopolitical issue that puts syria in the middle between russia and the united states. secretary of state tillerson's trip wednesday, and inflection point, and sent the message they needed to. >> they hope they did. nikki haley at the security council meeting said it won't be necessary. the rhetoric is pretty strong at the russians continued to do this. and president obama's ambassador, samantha power, all

year long, and haley, the british ambassador, instead of trying to shame the russians they were more marking them. assad continue to apply these, russia should be humiliated they can't bring their dictator to heal. >> the same words, the russians are incompetent or complicit you can't be both at the same time, it is one or the other. back to susan rice, it is a bad week for her in terms of being name the source of the unmasking, the unmasking of the names related to the trump administration officials and an important question, she said on television she did nothing, quote, in proper and reasonable people can be forgiven for being

skeptical of susan rice's adherence to the truth when it comes to television interviews in light of what happens when talking about the benghazi situation was anyway for the american people to know whether she did or did not do anything improper? is there a way for congress to call her to testify? >> the way to know the truth is the investigation that as a political level setting aside the content here is a perfect development for donald trump because his right and asked the names, she sort of ready-made villain of the right already for getting back saying benghazi attribute in the ghazi attack to arguetube video. it is a double-edged sword, the more we learn about this the more we hear susan rice might have unmasked some names, the names she unmasked were not

michelson's name. the national security advisor and conversation with the russian ambassador, although it is politically good right to be at the center of this, it means rice and other intelligence officials looking at communications between the president's team and other members of the team and other governors. so this is quite -- >> great analysis, as secretary tillerson, something that sparks a lot of headlines that terse reaction, is something these two sides are going to talk about tillerson, are they dealing with bigger issues, whether it be syria or iran or north korea? >> i am sure it will come up with their meeting and an

interesting way to introduce the meeting on a substantive level and political level. the substantive level when you look at secretary tillerson's preview of the meeting he was going to talk about syria, the ukraine conflict, north korea, a tight pattern of things to talk about. the russian preview with extensive and one thing that jumped out to me that they want to talk about, yemen and libya, which are places in russian state run media outlets talking about syria and expanding influence in the region. on a substantive level -- >> i want to get to the point you brought up, according to your reporting susan rice was not the one who unmasked michael flynn's name. the unmasking led to the league which led to flynn's resignation once he was proven to have lied to the vice president. did your source give you a name on who unmasked mike flynn's

name? or it wasn't susan rice? >> i don't have that. the original report was the wall street journal. this has been confirmed in a couple outlets but not exclusively by the white house but this is the table that keeps on spooling. every time the administration says, when donald trump said he was being wiretapped by the obama administration, it is fbi director comey to say we are investigating the trump team and susan rice, one thing at least is where the story lines converge with syria, these airstrikes this week give the president and his allies a powerful rebuttal to anyone who says they are in the pocket of the russians. >> we have seen the russians speak out publicly against the airstrikes, the diplomatic lines

were quiet from the russians in terms of meaningful protest. appreciate your reporting and analysis, great to have you on and talk to you soon. elizabeth: an update on a brush fire that burned 5000 acres in southern florida. the supreme court will have a full bench once again. we will discuss the impact of neil gorsuch's confirmation after the break. >> your accomplishments, not just in the first 80 days but in the first year in office. rivers. yeah, then how'd i get this... ...allstate safe driving bonus check? ...only allstate sends you a bonus check for every six months you're accident free. silence. it's good to be in, good hands. it's about moving forward, not back.. it's looking up, not down.

atlantic and palm beach itself an hour south of where we are right now, firefighters continue to battle a massive brushfire which has been burning for days and early this morning you could smell the smoke, still 60 miles away as the with is whipping up these flames. it has consumed more than 5000 acres, as the wind shifted, they are getting an upper hands, 60% of this fire is contained and hoping if not for rain, blue temperatures stick around. >> donald trump delivering a major campaign promise i put a conservative justice on the supreme court, the senate confirming neil gorsuch in a of the 5-45 vote. our supreme court watchers are here to break down how impactful the new justice will be on big

issues facing the court. the chief counsel at the judicial crisis network and elizabeth why is the president of the constitutional accountability center. thank you for joining us. issues you may differ that i want to get to but i want to get down to what is next, he is being sworn in, the session will last until june 6th if i am not -- >> he will be diving into work as a get sworn in monday, he will get right to work with the other justices, hearing arguments to the end of april and writing opinions on those cases, releasing them generally by customers at the end of june so the cases yet to -- religious liberty and cases looking at -- and cases that were argued, and

tie vote. >> i want to bring human. are there cases that have been held because the court has been split before? what are you most interested in is you watch this, cases they don't have a decision on? beach is hard to tell. it is a case of taking a long time to write. there are cases from october, decision, some of those will break down 4-4 but this term we have not seen high profile link at this will be 5-4 split case because it is hard to predict which of those might break down. we talk about these ones that break on ideological range. a lot of cases are picking legal details, breaking

numfour-numfour but it won't be one of those high profile splits. >> four five did the looking at, folks are looking particularly at one coming up, trinity lutheran church of columbia. i don't want to get in the weeds but why are conservatives looking at that? >> it has to do with state constitutions that says you can't use state funds in missouri to go to religious organizations and churches, the church is trying to get fund to construct a playground. >> they had daycare and school of the property and not getting fund other daycare's support because they are a church. this is about where those bounds, how the in court will say you can't put distance between church and state, that is an important case we are looking at there is this actuation pending that was lifted several times, waiting for in court 14 that raises religious objections from a cake baker and gay couple not to have a cake made for their wedding which is protected by the

supreme court. >> a lot of publicity on those cases that i want to ask the implications on those. >> a constitutional amendment is in many state constitutions the missouri's case it is extreme because literally say they can't send 9112 at church or synagogue, nothing government. that can't be right but there's probably a middle ground, how far can you go in refusing something available to everyone else and saying that is a religious organization, can't have that. those as well. all these take four votes, that is one of the reasons we have seen fewer cases granted because only eight justices to get those votes including neil gorsuch that we may see an uptick in the number of cases the court will take and it is important that

there are other issues, the am many. >> it will happen in the next session. a couple things to get to, we ran out of time, good to have you both back and we will have you back as you listen to those decisions. i appreciate it. leland: there will be a lot to talk about as relates to the supreme court and a lot to talk about here as you look at our setting in west palm beach. when we come back from the break we will look across the causeway to mara lago. a history lesson on what the president calls the winter white house. . americans - 83% try to eat healthy.

leland: just a couple miles down okeechobee boulevard towards palm beach and the president's the state at mara lago. april is a busy month, the last busy month before easter and now

even more busy, the media down here, the president's entourage, the president's private club he called the legendary pinnacle of palm beach, 17 acres, the compound was built by marjorie meriwether post, she tried to give it to the federal government as a winter white house in the 1970s when she died, the us government said they couldn't for the upkeep, they sold it to donald trump in the 1980s. all of a sudden it became the winter white house. it is one of the most secure places in america. the coast guard patrolling the waters of the intercoastal, also in the atlantic, no kayakers or fishermen allowed. it depends who you talk to, the storied and expensive part of palm beach with all the stores you like to shop at and just so

♪ leland: good to have you here for our two of america's news. by any measure this has been a good, some might say great week for the trump presidency. airstrikes in syria delivered a message to president assad and his backers of the kremlin, the senate confirmed the president's supreme court nominee yesterday but he will be sworn in monday. in the midst of it all a successful meeting with the chinese president fisher on the right side of the causeway in with the ocean behind her. you get a sense in the white house there happy with how

things have gone. >> reporter: absolutely. donald trump very pleased with his decision to strike syria. the question now, what next. the white house announced it is heading towards more sanctions, nikki haley has come out and said the us is prepared to do more. they hope it won't be necessary but if assad used to attack his people with chemical weapons the us is prepared to do more. donald trump is at trump international golf club in west palm beach, we don't know if he is holding meetings are playing golf but he posted something on twitter, congratulations to our military men and women who are representing the united states and the world so well in the syria attacked. except for syria russia and iran for the strikes were praised by countries all over the world. and bipartisan support on capitol hill but democrats and some republicans like rand paul

who was playing golf with donald trump one week ago today, they say he needs congressional approval before taking further military action against syria and senator paul describes the strikes like this. >> illegal and unconstitutional. we have an extensive debate, the federalist papers, lots of discussion on who should declare war and they specifically and explicitly did not president power to go to war. >> reporter: the question is how will donald trump respond if the syrian president does not stop chemical weapons against his own people and if he does, further military action, will he go to congress? leland: more on that from both sides of the aisle. you are traveling with the white house staff, went to get there feeling on this, front page of the wall street journal, ousting

advisers, the white house pushing back on this. >> reporter: absolutely and pushing back pretty hard on these reports. the syria strike blue wide open the deepening rift in the west wing between the nationalists and globalists and the main source of conflict is between steve bannon and senior advisor and son-in-law to the president jared kushner. bannon is a noninterventionist, he believes the us should not intervene in places like syria and there are reports he argued against this strike in syria. of the president's request the two sat down at mara lago to bury the hatchet. writes priebus is at the media there are reports he may be on the way out but a senior ministration officials of those reports are completely false and that is the same thing donald

trump's former campaign manager said on fox news sunday or "fox and friends". >> i don't think he is out but anyone who wants to speak on behalf of the president they backtrack very quickly. the president is the one who makes the decision in the white house about who will stay or leave. >> reporter: no denying there is tension between these two in the west wing. donald trump fosters that. the question is perhaps it has become too much but in the end there is only one person who will make the ultimate decision about who stays and who goes and that is donald trump. leland: they all serve at the pleasure of the president. kristen fisher serving the white house press corps in palm beach, great seeing you. elizabeth has more. elizabeth: no shortage of reaction from folks in the building behind me.

brad sherman serves on the foreign affairs many, thank you for joining us. correct me if i'm wrong, you have said this does not come close to solving any conflict in syria but it sends a message. i want you to elaborate on that. what message is it said the answer to whom? there are a lot of moving parts from thursday night. >> with your objectives in syria, one to protect the syrian people, the second to destroy isis edits caliphate and the third preserve the chemical weapons convention and geneva protocols because the world is better off. we rarely see to it. >> are we achieving our goal with this type of action? >> this addresses the third goal fighting to preserve the chemical warfare convention. it will deter assad. >> any chemical weapons violate

the 2013 deal that was already made. there were no chemical weapons. >> under obama's leadership we got to a have million pounds of chemical weapons. that was most of the stockpile. and use some earlier this week. imagine how terrible syria would be, 21/2 million pounds of chemical weapons. >> imagine how great syria would be if he did drops there and guessing innocent civilians in the first place. >> even if he wasn't he killed nearly half 1 million people, 99% of that has nothing to do with poison gas. he has waged war with barrel bombs, bullets, shelling, starvation, this is the greatest

tragedy. >> in 200013, a different situation, there were chemical weapons in 2013, you were quoted by the washington post and you wrote in part that considering military attacks against assad forces that will welton that if we can admit we should consider doing it. my question to you is should we be doing more and if so, should the president seek approval for that? >> the war powers act, the president needs to seek approval, needs to seek approval when the conflict will last 60, 90 days. we expect this was over in a few minutes. in contrast the libya bombing lasted many months and that was a violation of the war powers act, the president seek approval. as to what we should do, we should sanction the syrian

regime, we need to train and armed those who want to fight for democracy in syria and create a safe zone to protect refugees but what we don't need to do is occupy the whole country or going to direct conflict with their forces. >> the million dollar question, in 2016 obama asked congressional approval for a war against isis and it was ignored. my question is if donald trump comes to you and asks for approval are you going to give it to him? >> he would need to come to congress with a strategy including what objectives, and the draft of a resolution. if he does that it is a limited resolution, i take that seriously but he hasn't come to

us with a strategy, plan or a real document to authorize it. at this point there is little congress can do to authorize that which he might do in the future but hasn't told us he might do. >> narrow and strategic, is that is what you are hearing from democratic colleagues? >> yes but there is a range. there are those who say one day of bombing requires congressional authorization. others say the president should take a highly aggressive action and perhaps not worry what the russians do. there are extremes on both sides but what i hear in general as we are waiting for a strategy that would achieve some of our objectives and not create the risk of another iraq where we have to occupy and rebuild the country or the risk of another cuban missile crisis where we go eyeball to eyeball. >> thank you for coming on on saturday, really interesting and we hope to have you back.

leland: reaction from the other side of the aisle, congressman trent rank on the house on services committee, great to see you, looks is nice there is it is here in florida. >> it is nicer. >> the mayor of west palm beach, you have said donald trump's airstrikes were strategic and proportional to the threat. let's take those adjectives separately and deal with each of the first, we heard reporting from lucas tomlinson at the pentagon that the airstrip is intact, syrians are able to use it to take off, there is one report that they use the same air base to attack the same town 24 hours after us airstrikes.

is this enough? i got my wrist slapped and i will move on what do you think this is enough to get his attention? >> 60 tomahawk missiles is more than just a statement. an indication we are serious. i have to tell you the thing that moves me about this whole thing is how the president, seeing images of little children being tortuously poisoned and choked by sarah gas moves his heart and that standing by like barack obama did making professorial comment, he was to action and it rewrote the strategic landscape of the region because it told the victim they have a friend in this world and it told the perpetrators those who have no respect for the it is, might find themselves in front of the

arsenal of freedom. >> you spent time in the middle east, i covered the syrian civil war for four years the images of children being asked are poor effect there are no adjectives in the was language to describe them but young children being shot and killed and being bombed aren't any different in terms of the results. maybe this is enough to stop children from being slaughtered by sarah gas but it won't stop the war or the military tactics, be it barrel bombs or indiscriminate shelling or starvation. >> your point is excellent but the reality is it does tell the world the obama foreign policy of turning a blind eye to atrocities over and now the united states is once again engaged and i am convinced we can move toward trying to give support to the democratic

federation of northern syria as we have a lot of things that demonstrated america is back as you are on the armed services committee, can the administration brief you on what the overall strategy is? if they said these airstrikes were tactic number one and this is where we want to take things or have they not gotten to that? >> they have briefed some of us. the reality is. and accomplished something significant. and profound implications of casualties, >> we heard, would not have casualties. to not hurt any russians on the base, not to take out their

command and control, not the syrian military, conceivably the pilots and generals involved in chemical weapons attack alive and well. >> it is wise to minimize human casualties. the reality is this first time in a long time vladimir has lost on the world stage because now he understands america is not going to stand by and let them, the idea that somehow the president is beholden to russia should be vanquished in the minds of every reasonable person. leland: we have heard that analysis as well. secretary of state tillerson is heading to russia, a lot to talk about, have you gotten any

indication from the administration, and a won and done strike, if there are no more chemical attacks, and an, and we might strike again. even if there is a chemical attack. >> the administration has taken a right tone. and what we prepared to do so, that creates strategic ambiguity or other people in the world, and little regard for the innocent and their expansion is and we have a totally different geopolitical landscape and i hope the president maintain which >> dangerous for sure. enjoy the easter recess which we have you back on to talk about

it all. >> let's hope successful with other things that he has been in the last week. leland: we know your party is hopeful on that. enjoy the weather in arizona. all the best. tomorrow on media buzz, a lot to talk about, howard kurtz will talk to kellyanne conway about the coverage of the syria strikes which is got buried today. chris wallace sits down to an exclusive interview with national security adviser lieutenant general hr mc master, who many say was behind the strategic part of the strike inside syria. the first major foreign-policy decision of this administration, he is here to talk about it with chris wallace.

i have age-related maculare degeneration, amd, he told me to look at this grid every day. and we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression, including preservision areds 2. my doctor said preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula the national eye institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd after 15 years of clinical studies. preservision areds 2. because my eyes are everything. nitrites or artificial mesquite preservatives.added nitrates, now it's good for us all. like introverts. extroverts. (cheering) and even bert. man you gotta' try this sandwich. who's just overt. oscar mayer deli fresh. so good! yeah, 'cause i got allstate.? if you total your new bike, they replace it with a brand new one. that's cool. i got a new helmet. we know steve.

>> swedish police have arrested a suspect in yesterday abstract perfect that killed four people and injured 15 others blues people in sweden's capital coming to terms with the terror attack. all the details on the investigation. >> reporter: police arrested a pakistan born man they believe hijacked the truck and rode into a crowd of people in stockholm friday. this is cell phone video of the suspect be arrested 25 miles north of stockholm. he is facing terrorist murder charges. we do not know the suspect's

name or whether he is a legal resident of sweden which he has not spoken to police but we know the suspect has been on intelligence service radar for some time. overnight raids were conducted around stockholm questioning people in connection with the case. he did not know whether that is an effect or not. we are still working on a comprehensive approach to see if there is any possibility further individuals are involved. indicates this was a terrorist attack. after stealing the truck earlier friday suspect drove 500 yards to a pedestrian street before plowing it into a highland door in stockholm during the peak period, the attack killed four

and injured 15 others or left in serious condition. the police chief said they found a suspected homemade device in a truck, sweden's public broadcaster reports the truck had an detonated explosives inside. the attackers suffered burns from these explosives but failed to detonate properly. flag that sweden are at half staff as people placed flowers outside the department store saturday. the prime minister declared monday a national day of mourning. the strip attack is similar to the attack in london and march when a british national believed to be radicalized plowed a car into pedestrians on the westminster bridge. news of the attack has spread quickly on isis link to social media accounts. elizabeth: appreciate it. >> droughts to mudslides a

mudslide has forced of the family to evacuate their homes in oakland, california. you can see damage to a number of homes with one person said she had a sea of mud in her house and the other described a wall of mud in her backyard. this was triggered after a storm brought powerful winds and heavy rain to the bay area earlier this week. elizabeth: that is the sound of tornado sirens jolting people awake in dallas, texas but there is one problem. there was no tornado. the city says the system malfunction caused the alarms to go off causing a flood of concerned calls to 911. emergency teams manually turning off the sirens and investigated what went wrong. i can tell you is the mother of a young child you don't want to wake up at night for any reason and i imagine a false alarm for

a tornado siren has a lot of angry calls to 911. >> reporter: for sure and it could be dangerous. never know if people stopped their cars and get out, people all of the sudden move family members into the bathtub as you are trained to do. no tornadoes down here. to get these clouds to move out of the way would be good for sunbathing after the show. donald trump is at his golf club in west palm beach. we don't know if he is playing golf or not but the weather was beautiful when he that with the chinese president. we will look at what is next with hot button issues facing those two countries. we will tell you how the chinese are looking at the situation up next, and reaction from all corners of the world following donald trump's strikes on syria

and all corners of the world, we will tell you donald trump talks to yesterday about the strikes. ..

leland: president trump tweeting his support for the u.s. military teams that carried out missile strikes on the syrian airfield. damage assessments on what was hit and what was spared are still coming in. but some are demanding a tougher approach to punish the assad regime for using chemical weapons. >> what i would like to see happen in terms of the u.s. is just to continue to act. if that means more airstrikes against more military bases. so be it. >> i need the president not to make it something he will touch then walk away and forget about it.

definitely to see the attack when he brutalized them into submission. leland: the russians in particular are calling the airstrike a flagrant act of aggression and warned of destabilizing consequences in the region if more u.s. strikes occur. liz: the president met with alaskan governor. china is america's largest trading partner. they too many in a billion dollars last year alone. leland: before he was in alaska,

his quick two days into march a lago, the chinese president xi jinping and president trump had a lot of ground to cover, trade deals and north korea. currency issues. a little insight on how it went and what's next. eli, peace good to see you, there is all these different topics that came up. but we cannot forget, if nothing else the optics of the president of the united states and the president of china at dinner. the president of the united states gets up and comes back and says i just sent 60 tomahawk missiles to bomb syria, hope you enjoy your dover sole. you can't overlook the symbolism. >> xi jinping was coming to

mar-a-lago to demonstrate to his people that he's a great leader and china is a great power. the bombing in syria cast a shadow over that. china is irrelevant when the japanese prime minister shinzo abe was at mar-a-lago, there was a north korean attack. but then the two of them went out together to condemn the attack. in this instance president trump saw xi jinping back to his hotel and the united states acted alone. not the kinds of message the chinese were hoping for. leland: i talked to a good friends in hong kong who was a keen observer of business deals over there. he brought this to my attention. it was on the south china

morning post. front page quote saturday morning. so far i have got nothing, absolutely nothing, but we developed a friendship. we heard that quote over here and went, that doesn't mean anything. he pointed out because of the cultural differences, for the chinese that quote is incredibly important. >> the friendship is important. xi jinping being here is to try to develop a pra por -- a rappoh donald trump and temper the instincts within the trump administration. they will try to use personal relationships and the direct relationship between the president to try to establish a working and cooperative relationship going forward. leland: we saw optics similar to this a couple of months ago. big discussions about cyber-security. then ended up really with

nothing to show for it. i had sources that told me the chinese were hack and violating the agreements while the president of china was in the united states making the deal. good words have to be followed by good actions. let's put the syria strike in a larger context for the chinese. look at the syria strikes like this. the school bully throws a punch during september. new principal. what's he going to do? we just saw how the new principal reacted the to the bully in terms of president trump bombing syria. what message does that send to the other bully, north korea. >> that's my understanding, donald trump's message to xi jinping would be we want a cooperative relationship with you, china, but it has to be

results oriented. rex tillerson used that in beijing a couple weeks ago. it can't be an open-ended negotiation. we have to see results soon. wilbur rolls said on the trade issue that they laid out a 100-day plan. so the question will be the trump administration will say we are willing to play nice, but if not we are willing to take action on our own. so i have to think that the syria strike although they don't necessarily portend unilateral military action against north korea, they do signal to xi jinping and iran that president trump is willing to escalate to achieve his goals. leland: the president said if we have to we'll go it alone which seems to not leave much to the imagination.

eli, i appreciate your time and insight. liz: the first daughter and newly named special stand to the president. she wanted them to feel at home during their march a lago visit. not only did they sing in mandarin, they also recited two poems for the chinese president. very talented young children she has there. quite a sight. she tweeted this out this morning. leland: it's playing big in china as you might imagine. a little bit of information from china. the song was called "jasmine flower." and the poem was a three-character classic. so we know that the trump grandchildren know far more

chinese than either you or i. liz: russian president vladimir putin isn't holding back in condemning u.s. strike on syria. i no longer live with the uncertainties of hep c. wondering, what if? i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all

the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. ready to let go of hep c? ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. usaa gives me the and the security just like the marines did. the process through usaa is so effortless, that you feel like you're a part of the family. i love that i can pass the membership to my children. we're the williams family, and we're usaa members for life.

elizabeth: u.s.-russia relations recently on track to their friendliest in years now in jeopardy. russia disconnected a military hotline, the same communication u.s. used to give warning of the attack. vladimir putin intending to send a strong message to the u.s. also moved a destroy towards the

american ships that launched the attack thursday night. big week ahead. secretary of state rex timer on, that trip is not canceled. it will be perhaps even more tense than before. >> it's likely to be more tense. but a lot of it depends on whether it's just a visit to get acquaintances with putin or whether there is a plan. i hope there is a plan because the road to damascus -- our plan for russia, we have not had any strategic thinking on how to manage the russian relationship since probably barack obama's reset 8 years ago. so it all depends on what sort of expectations tillerson himself and the president of the

united states are expecting from this trip. elizabeth: what type of plan does the united states need? when we look at syria, the landscape has obviously changed since the civil war started and russia getting involved a couple years after that. now that they are so deeply entrenched in that conflict, how do we move forward? >> that's exactly the point. the first choice for to us make is was this strike one-off? in that case we don't have to worry too much. if as president trump said, he called on other nations to stop the bloodshed in syria, then we should think of how we are going to manage russia. the reason for that is putin is there to establish footholds in the middle east. putin is there to show he is restoring russia's grandeur.

his presidential election is a year from now. the foreign policy successes, ukraine, syria, is the on thing going to the regime where the incomes are down, recession -- elizabeth: what is it like in russia. what is he dealing with as president, what kind of pop merit? what is the economy like? people are looking at their participation in syria and are perplexed. why is he trying to stay so relevant and entrenched in the middle east? >> he's conducting the provocative policy towards if the united states all over the place. incomes are down 10%. the economic situation is such that at best russia will probably grow a half%.

so the key to putin's former popularity is gone. so he looks for something else, and that's a dual narrative. russia is under attack. i will bring home brilliant victories. as a result, the russian people's revulsion as you saw in the declarations, putin is popular because he's protecting the motherland and he's brilliant in his foreign policy which is why don't have any illusions, putin is not going to give up awe assad, unless we mobilize our allies and he sees the drawbacks he hasn't seen so far. elizabeth: so the road to damascus is through russia? >> through moscow, actually. elizabeth: we'll see if there is

any more activity in syria. perhaps the russians since they cut off that communication would be more entrenched. certainly a very high stakes game right now. elizabeth: thank you so much, we appreciate it. leland: great conversations. something they are talk about at the weekend white house. president trump's weekend trips are bringing buzz and activity to palm beach. but there are challenges. the mayor joining us to discuss those after the break. there's a more enjoyable way to get your fiber.

try phillips' fiber good gummies. they're delicious... and a good source of fiber to help support regularity. mmm. these are good. nice work, phillips'! try phillips' fiber good gummies! z2bjgz zvpz

leland: welcome back to south florida. president trump's frequent weekend stays at his mar-a-lago resort have put this community in the international spotlight week after week. we'll look at the impact of all these visits with the west palm beach mayor. it would be hard to have a better tourism campaign for your city and for this whole area than the president coming every week. >> it brings a lot of attention

to our city and puts us in the spotlight. leland: is that always a good thing? >> not always. but people are getting to know west palm beach is a great place people want to be. we have to deal with traffic and security and all of that. leland: i saw articles complaining about the traffic. are you starting to get used to the routine, if you will? >> i don't think so. not quite yet. leland: you will, don't worry. >> i suspect we'll. our police department is working hard to try to keep up with everything. we had to bring in additional police officers to make sure that everybody stays safe. leland: it's an economic balance. all those police officers don't come cheap, and at the same time you have an economic boom.

>> it many different pots of money, we have to pay police officers to come in. we are 20% of our usual budget. we have to heighten our i.t. infrastructure and look at additional patrols. then in terms of the money that comes in, it comes in through sales tax which we get a piece of but not all of it. leland: big picture. this has to be worldwide for you. there are folks from south america and europe saying maybe i'll come in the summer. if it's good enough for the president of the united states, it's good enough for me. >> we have been trying to attract businesses and jobs to our city, i think this will help us do that. we are business friendly and we are welcoming people to our city.

leland: we have seen the president work hard on that. do to do a little bit of work in his vacation area. you do a great job, madame mayor. liz were next time it's your turn. elizabeth: still ahead. the newest member of the rock 'n roll hall of fame sound off with a message to the white house. [♪] hey look, it's those guys.

[music] jess: are you good to drive? shawn: i'm fine. jess: how many did you have? shawn: i should be fine. jess: you should be? officer: go on and step out of the vehicle for me. bud: see ya, buddy. good luck! so, it turns out buzzed driving and drunk driving, they're the same thing and it costs around $10,000. so not worth it.

[♪] elizabeth: that was elo performing their hit "evil woman." journey reunited with one-time lead singer steve perry. the electric light orchestra, folk singer joan baez, and the late rapper tupac shah cure. shakur. and they talked about the need to address climate change, calling it the biggest crisis our time. sorry you missed that event. but i think you may have the better deal down in south florida. leland: i can say there is a

nice breeze coming off the ocean here, the sun is out. it's beautiful, and i'll be thinking about you while i have a pina colada. elizabeth: see you tomorrow. [♪] reporter: video from inside the syrian air base hit by a what running of missiles. the impact from that attack does not seem to be slowing count assad regime. welcome to "america's news headquarters." i'm kelly wright. julie: i'm julie banderas. the syrian air force has other bases in operation, allowing syrian warplanes to take to the skies. one of the targets near the location of this week's chemical attack. president
