pizza. abby: a lot of food on the show. pete: fire up the grill and ready to go. clayton: we have a jam packed show new reports overnight. more reports around russia this morning instead of just syria. now big russian component this morning. new report that secretary of state rex tillerson is going to be going to russia accusing russia of complicity with syria. their failure to get those chemical weapons out of syria. pete: that's right. we have been putting together the pieces. >> we are pleased to be in brussels. pete: we have a little audio play there. it's early. we are working through the kinks on "fox & friends." that was rex tillerson. we have been piecing together pieces what happened, chemical attack, we attack the air base. predetermined meeting was going to happen in russia on tuesday. rex tillerson is going it now looks like he is going to bring with him evidence, hard evidence, photographic evidence that the russians were a part of, in complicit with the chemical attack.

abby: that they sent over a drone to this town hit biochemical weapons and demolished or destroyed the hospital to get rid of any sort of evidence that they were hit biochemical weapons. looking if they can get that proof to bring. give them a lot of help. clayton: i'm not just vanna white here. this is the front page of the "new york post." accusing russia of war crime complicity. that's huge. abby: u.s. and u.k. pete: u.k. had a trip that they pulled back they wanted to wait. abby: they had a conversation last night they said let's strategize this and go in as strong as we possibly can with a cohesive message. clayton: think about what kind of a russian puppet president trump really is. be a nab cahoots. pete: they are in cahoots as we charge them with being responsible in addition, by the way, clearly assad broke the 2013 agreement in russia to get all the chemical weapons out of the country.

something is wrong there, too. they have a lot of evidence they are armed with. clayton: listen to u.n. ambassador nikki haley on this. any move would have to involve getting rid of assad. >> we don't see a peaceful syria with assad in there at the end of the day, this is a complicated situation. there are no easy answers and a political solution is going to have to happen. but we know that it is not going to be -- there is not any sort of option where a political solution is going to happen with assad at the head of the regime. if you look at his actions. if you look at the situation, it's going to be hard to see a government that's peaceful and stable with assad. regime change is something that we think is going to happen because at all of the parties are going to see that assad is not the leader that needs to be taking place for syria. clayton: what does that look like going forward. this is evolution on their position from even just a week ago from the trump administration. the removal of assad. you remove assad, that doesn't mean you get rid of the entire regime, who do you replace within that regime to keep

some of the stability. governors body. you are not getting rid of everyone. tell everyone to go home. abby: north side to move forward from the civil war, have you got to get assad out of par. he is the pinpoint of the problems right now. what we are seeing with national security leaders they are getting out and speaking. that's important to help explain to the american people what does happen next? what is your plan? how are you thinking through this? the secretary of state trex tillerson who we haven't heard a whole lot from publicly is he speak out as well on face the nation. clayton: he doesn't talk about assad at all. he advisories in on isis. that's the real conundrum. isis on the other side of this equation. listen to what he had to say, all about isis. >> it's important that we keep our priorities straight and we believe that the first priority is the defeat of isis that by defeating isis and removing their caliphate from their control, why hav we have minimized a particular threat,

not just the united states, but to the whole stability in the region. once the isis threat has been reduced or eliminated i think we can turn our attention directly to stabilizing the situation in syria. we are hopeful we can prevent a continuation of the civil war. and that we can bring the parties to the table to begin the process of political discussions. pete: they want it to be a political regime change of sorts. i mean, assad represents only 10% of the population e the majority of syria is sunni muslims. isis doesn't necessarily represent all of that population but have you a lot of extremist groups. the question is if you get rid of assad, what the heck do you replace him with. what the trump administration is saying in both of those clips because nikki haley talked about fighting isis as well. russia owns. this ghangsding russia pulls asaid. what does that process look like. you coul accelerate a civil wars

well. what i can it russia's problem not ours while also crushing isis so we don't have threats. abby: i think it's important to mention isis there as we know from the past isis takes advantage of vacuums. if we thrive to go in and solve the civil war in syria, isis is probably going to benefit interest from that. let's try to defeat isil to do what we can to weaken them before we get too involved. pete: they have a great strategic gray owe political interest in that deep water port. they have other reasons why they want access to the mediterranean which is why they are interested in the assad regime. they don't love bashar al assad. the guy is a fuel. h -- fool.they were open to any convenient relationship. we want to leverage that. abby: is vladimir putin going to hit? if goes over there you are complicit in this and we are going to isolate you? if you are rex tillerson that's a

tough place to be. clayton: all eyes shifting to the korean peninsula as if they don't have enough on their plate. fox news alert now. u.s. ship speeding toward the korean peninsula because of the saber rattling going on with kim jong un. we want to bring in jim hanson. executive vice president for the center of security policy give perspective on what we are now seeing in north korea. good morning, jim, what's your take on this. >> the problem with kim is he is looking at the potential that president trump is distracted by the things you guys were just discussing, by the strikes in syria, by the fact that the russians may have been involved. and now he can take advantage of that i think sending a carrier strike group his direction is a great way to remind him that would be a bad idea. i mean, the best term i have heard for it is 90,000 tons of diplomacy. a great reminder that doing something stupid could have very painful consequences for your regime. pete: they are trying to

extend the shelf life of the exco-s in syria. we are not distracted with what we're doing in syria. we are going to make sure you understand that a we will strike if we need to, b we will have the capability if we need to. they were going to do a port call in australia this artillery strike group but turned it back around to say hey we're going to be off your shores. >> exactly. it's a good idea. in a situation like, this president trump just met with the chinese president. they obviously discussed. this this kim is the craziest in the line of kims and there is a big concern. he has been lobbing missiles at japan. got capability to send them farther potentially hit the united states there signs they may be ready to conduct another nuclear tests. all of those are bad things and i think a reminder that doing bad things has consequences is the right way for president trump to act. abby: yeah. well, rex tillerson made a statement on north korea and had people scratching their head like why is he saying this? north korea launched another intermediate range ballistic missile. spoken enough about north korea we have no further

comment. i think it all now makes sense. >> it does. if you do things like that, it's called peace through strength. it's a great concept that president reagan came up with. the idea of sending a carrier group is not necessarily because you want to use it, it's not to use it. it's for deterrence. let the world know the united states is back, we're serious and president trump is not the same guy who has been kowtowing to tyrants like president obama has for 8 years. pete: do you believe if necessary the u.s. would shoot down a ballistic missile if there were more tests? >> i would love to see that. that would be a great example of the fact that we are still the big dog. we do have that capability. and, you know, move the theater air defense in to south korea and remind people that our ships have that capability, too. abby: all right. jim hand hanson, thanks for being with us today have. a good sunday. >> a pleasure. pete: not everyone is sold that chemical weapons were

used in that deadly attack in syria. one of those people former congressman den nils kucinich. he met with assad two months ago answered joins us next. abby: more on the breaking news with russia. mike huckabee will be here this hour. clayton: protesters shut down a conservative author's speech before she could finish speaking. author heather mcdonald joins us live this hour.

the united states has been waging this war, this regime change war now for years co-voterly through the cia. yes, i'm skeptical because we have to take at a premium the cost of heaves wars. pete: some lawmakers questioning whether chemical weapons were even used why by the assad regime in syria last week. former lawmaker dennis kucinich has met with assad last year. he has met with him several times. he says he is skeptical as well. thank you for joining us this morning. you are skeptical. you acknowledge chemical weapons were used in syria. you are skeptical that bashar al assad is the one who unleashed them? >> i agree with representative gabbard that we should have had an investigation here and made a determination as to who was responsible. by assuming that assad was responsible, we're ignoring evidence that was presented in the chemical attack against goad da in 2013 where a u.n. weapons inspector, an mit

scientist and a scientist from tesla labs all concluded that that particular attack was launched from within rebel territory. so you've got to be careful about drawing conclusions. pete: are you alleging then that the information that was released by the trump administration, the flight patterns of the syrian jets and others from that base, that that's not true, that they didn't have any evidence? >> well, keep this in mind, the flight patterns could have been correct, except suppose the gas was released on the ground after the attack. see, these are the kinds of things that an investigation would show. pete: have rebels been shown to use gas in syria. >> yes. pete: chemical attacks on the scale that assads that already been shown to use you? would acknowledge that assad has used chemical weapons on his own people before. >> i would not acknowledge that. pete: why was russia told in 2013 to assist to make sure assad removes all his chemical weapons? >> it's one thing to have chemical weapons. another thing to use them. russia was told that you are 100 percent right.

in an interview did i with assad, for fox news, assad said that he was getting rid of these weapons. so, here's the thing, were they released on the ground? beyond that, is it in the interest of the united states to in aeffect assist isis. we say we are against isis. isis is slaughtering christians, anybody who doesn't agree with their point of view. why are we helping isis? and also saudi arabia which the president met with was responsible for 9/11. saudis are players here. why are we helping the people who helped bring about 9/11? i don't understand this. somebody has got to tell me that pete piatt you are asking fair questions about what the end game looks like. i don't think anyone could acknowledge american wants to help isis. we do have evidence gassed his people doesn't feel like we could be okay with where is he. do you see a solution where russia could depose assad find alternative and russia owns stabilizing that country? >> well, there is no military solution. russia is needed to help bring

about a political solution. you have to coop in mind if the u.s. forces regime change here, look at iraq, look at libya, look at the human effect, over a million iraqis died in that war already. we don't want to be responsible for inflaming a war. we sure don't want to be responsible for putting isis and al qaeda in charge. pete: fair enough. aren't we already responsible for a great deal of the violence that ensued already. we drew a red line and said assad must go. we never did anything to help that tipping point. wouldn't it have to be russia bring about rerah jet stream change? we are trying to crush isis at the same time. >> keep in mind the u.s. and russia work together to bring about a cease-fire back in october. and that happened. mr. kerry and mr. lavrov met and they said okay, we are going to have a cease-fire. unfortunately bombing attack by the u.s. on a syrian barracks broke that agreement. i want to tell you something,

peace is possible. if something has the agenda of regime change it's going to be a nightmare and not only that i don't want my country helping those who are responsible for 9/11 take over another country. pete: a lot of nightmares going on from isis to the assad regime no doubt and no one wants to unleash another isis 2.0 or 3.0. the question is can you get rid of assad without allowing isis to be in charge. congressman, thank you very much for your insight this morning. >> thank you. pete: you got it coming up, the u.s. launching missile strikes against syria but the lefty media says it was all orchestrated by vladimir putin. >> vladimir putin orchestrated what happened in syria this week, so that his friend in the white house could have a big night. pete: really? governor mike huckabee here to react to that i know sane conspiracy theory next. then hillary clinton says she lost the election because of misogyny.

thanks for being here so early. >> good morning. abby: misogyny? is that the number one reason hillary clinton lost the election. >> she certainly stated the obvious. that it played a role. we have made a lot of progress in judging women on their merits. we still live in a culture of my a subject any. we saw that in this past election where a man who is ambitious and successful is seen as being powerful. a woman who is ambitious and successful is questioned about likability. and that's regardless of if you are seeking political leadership or corporate leadership. all successful women have gone through their lives being subject to being judged at a different, in many ways, lier and double standard. that happened to hillary, but there are other reasons that led to the perfect storm. abby: you're saying that's not the number one reason she lost the election, right, jehmu. >> i agree with you. there are other contributing factors. she said her campaign could have done better.

she could have done better. of course, there were strategic mistakes that were made. buff we do have an opportunity through this process to look at misogyny and the fact that we're more aware of it, that we are talking about it, that sexual harassment is not as accepted anymore, that consent culture is being discussed. these are good things. abby: i know both of you are passionate about rebuilding the democratic party. i travel this country at different diners. when they said they were not voted for hillary clinton. no one ever said it was because she was a woman or because of james comey. every single time, almost, was that she doesn't inspire me. she didn't have a message that would draw me to the polls. >> i don't think men or women are going to admit that i'm voting for hillary clinton because she was a woman. as she said, it does cause concern. people are afraid of women in power. we see that all the time. that's why women are making 80 cents to every man's dollar. people are afraid of strong d aales. big role.

this country has shown we are afraid of women in power. women were not allowed to vote 100 years ago. we have not even voted for 100 years in this country, men were able to vote. black men were able to vote 50 years before women were able to vote. women have had a problem in this country. that might be a number one reason, people were afraid of the change, having a female president was scary to a lot of people. abby: all right, jehmu, misogyny aside, for democrats to win again, what were some of the recent hillary clinton lost? how can people learn. >> certainly the media made it difficult with 24/7 coverage of trump. abby: you could argue that coverage was pretty negative on donald trump. >> but there is lots of commentary about the message that democrats put out that hillary clinton wasn't able to connect from a message standpoint. well, if the vehicle in which to get your message out isn't letting you talk about your economic message, isn't letting you talk your criminal justice reform message, isn't letting you talk about your mental health plan, then that

contributes to the loss. now, certainly, her message could have been more succinct, it could have been more compelling, it could have connected with the heart first. but, look, when it comes to this election, it was a perfect storm. and we cannot dismiss the role that misogyny played. we can't dismiss the role that the media played. we certainly can't dismiss the role that a hostile foreign government played in interfering in our election, all of these things combined for that perfect storm. abby: thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. more on the top story secretary of state rex tillerson certainly set. governor mike huckabee joins us live. good morning, governor. obamacare has declared a war on pizza. we are here to declare your pizza rights this morning. oh, yeah. that's coming in here in just a few minutes ♪ everybody's working for the weekend

new report out of the times of london as well as the "new york post" says that u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson is going to go to russia on tuesday and not just hold meetings with russian officials but accuse them of being complicit in the syrian chemical attack this week. what do you make of the new development that we are going to go in to moscow you are responsible directly or indirectly what happened in syria. >> i think it's an important act that the secretary of state is going to go and have the meetings with the russians. whether or not is he going to call them complicit i simply don't know. if he is going to i hope that remains in the back channels. there is no good reason for us to publicly make this assertion unless we can absolutely, without any doubt, be able to prove it. because what we need right now is to make sure that we're all focused on two things. number one, that these chem chemical attacks never happen again. if the russian his pressure

point that's great. we have got to be very careful because the russians are the pressure point for syria just like the chinese are the pressure point for north korea. abby: that's not what some liberals are saying though. we are saying we don't need air strikes to solve this problem or make it better. we need to lift the ban on syrian refugees coming into this country. what do you say to that? >> elizabeth warren has been tweeting stuff over the weekend i find it amazing. she thinks the best thing to do is bring more refugees into america. when elizabeth warren takes syrian refugees into her own home, give me a call and let me know about it. i don't know what she is doing. she is taking a position so far to the left of hillary clinton and nancy pelosi, you know that elizabeth warren is completely off the left side of the stage. clayton: she seems to be in agreement, we had dennis kucinich on a few minutes ago. i don't know if you caught his interview. >> yes, did i. clayton: is he not convinced at all if assad was response sick for this. elizabeth warren secretary of

defense we need a plan to hold assad accountable. i see no justification for trump's missile strike. if @ real donald trump need needs -- >> we do need to make sure that we recognize that the common enemy, the one we have to go after ultimately is isis. because of the slaughter that they are going to commit against christians and jews and even against other muslims is so absolutely unmerciful. look, let's not kid ourselves, assad is a butcher. but we have to be very certain that when -- if we get rid of him and i know that's the strategy, that we get someone in his place that's better. and i'm not sure who that is. we saw what happened in egypt when they -- you know, secretary of defense we have got to get rid of the president. okay, fine. what happened in the muslim brotherhood for heaven's sake was worse. clayton: look at the mess in iraq that country held together by duct tape probably

three separate countries to begin with saddam hussein held it together somehow with an iron fist. look at the vacuum that was created and isis pouring in. there is that what we are facing here? >> it's sunday and good biblical reference when the demon was cast out and seven more came in plafts vacuum, it's a grate new testament analogy of what happens in many of these middle eastern countries. you get rid of the bad guy. he was bad because he was the only one who could keep things contained. if you don't have a strong and frankly leader of character coming, in you end up with somebody who is even more blood thirsty and worse. and i know that sounds sometimes hard to believe but that's what you end up getting. and that's what we have to fear in any middle eastern takedown. it doesn't matter whether we're talking about the saudis or anybody, get rid of the current regime and say well, they are brutal. why are they brutal? because if they are not, they get run over, that's why. pete: governor, even though president trump is staring down vladimir putin and his interests and saying we are going to take you on and bring you evidence to moscow on

tuesday and present it to you either publicly or privately, that doesn't stop the left-wing media from outrage claims of collusion. they can't just help themselves. we have to play a clip from another network and get to you react to that. listen. >> wouldn't it be nice if it was completely totally absolutely impossible to suspect that vladimir putin orchestrated what happened in syria this week so that his friend in the white house could have a big night with missiles and all of the praise he's picked up over the last 24 hours? wouldn't it be so nice if you couldn't even in your wildest dreams imagin imagine a scenarie that. i don't know what it is. is it a 2% chance? is it a 50% chance? i don't know. i don't think it's a zero percent chance and it used to be with every other president prior to donald trump. pete: i don't know if you can

see the screen rachel maddow's face is like what is this guy talking about? >> i think that larry was off his meds et other night. i honestly expected that the old character of rod serlg, a lot of people are too young to remember this would step into the picture and say you have just entered the twilight zone because truly we did. let me tell you when was talking about the 50% chance. whatever the percentage, 100 percent chance on that segment lawrence o'donnell had completely lost it in really even bringing up the notion that donald trump and the russians colluded to go in to this whole thing just to distract like some wag the dog strategy. it was utterly crazy. pete: governor, one day donald trump, president trump is totally incompetent. next day he is a mastermind of international collusion. abby: governor, great to have you here this morning. >> thank you. abby: have a great sunday. >> thank you. abby: manhunt intensifying for a man who police say robbed a gun store and mailed president

secretary of state. that's the story line that's been out here. here is someone who ran exxon mobil on the world stage 3r50e68, a major corporate exec obviously make a transition to diplomacy. here, if you think about the last week, he was all over the syrian air strikes at the president's side when that happened. and moving forward as you say now going to be heading to russia this week to take this to russia head on and say we're not going to let you get away with this. so, all of this talk that rex tillerson wasn't going to be a robust secretary of state might be all for not. abby: true. last week we were talking about this miserable article in the "the washington post" about rex tillerson. a negative piece on him. it seemed like basically none of it was fact. he is actually speaking out before he goes over on the state of the union. we have some sound of that of rex tillerson nic at this haley. listen to what the u.n.

u.n. holding up gruesome photos of women and children being killed by brutal dictator assad. now she is stepping it up on sunday shows. the key is how they back it up. this is tough talk. when you talk about regime change does that mean we are going to step up military action? the president going to have to make that case to the american people and to the congress where there is a lot of noise about the initial action. pete: other m medz narrative being blown out of the water rex tillerson who got the friendship award -- a friendship award from russia is going over there to say you haven't been much of a grend touts and world with what you are doing. upends that narrative also. what do you think they want the outcome to be from this meeting or from this tough talk and approach with russia? are they hoping they usher in assad's ouster? >> well, sure. because russia is the key here. remember, this is another sort of campaign promise that's

going to be tested out in terms of president trump actually governorsing which is that the whole accusation about him being allegedly too close to russia is in part stemming from the campaign president trump said why shouldn't we have a better relationship with russia to get them to help us in syria instead of being buddy buddy with assad. get them on our side to actually enact real change. that is going to be an uphill climb. is he actually going to be able to do it? this is maybe part one of that diplomatic effort. clayton: had you baking night last night. you were at a hero's gala. >> this is amazing charity helping wounded warriors. shannon bream has done it before. abby: look so dashing in your tux. >> thank you. following the tradition of a lot of colleagues here at fox. luke's wings a wonderful charity started by fletcher and lindsey gill. what they do is line up airline tickets so that when a

and he criminal who killed all those civilians. i felt happy. i felt grateful. i felt for the very first time in six years that the united states will actually do something that my faith in this great country was -- did not get disappointed again like it did when president obama was in power. sir, i just want to say like, i learned english from reading forbidden magazine called readers digest. i learned english because i fell in love with the united states since i was 5 years old. we were taught that united states is evil country. evil power in the world. but while reading about that country, i found out that what we are getting taught is wrong. i had a lot of faith in the united states. i used to tell my friends during the demonstrations when the assad regime used to kill us, while we were chanting for freedom that don't worry, the united states will help.

that some day, somehow, they will come and do something. but president obama he let us down for more than six years. until president trump showed up and he made the right decision by striking the criminal. we are very grateful. very, very grateful. clayton: i can hear it in your voice and obviously what you went through in 2013 in that gas attack, in syria arguably even more horrible than the gas attacks we saw over the past 72 hours and this week and, yet, there was no help that came. if you look at the left wing narrative here in the united states and the left-wing media portraying donald trump as cruel for this extreme vetting and the ban from these countries, what was your response about this? we have elizabeth warren's tweet yesterday, senator of the united states. i want to read this to you and get your response. if donald trump truly wants to help syrians fleeing murderers he should drop the effort to

qaddafi in libya. i'm afraid that we may not like these arab dictators but they are secularists. they are not islamists. and what we have done in the case of both of those recent interventions is to open the door to isis. and so, of course, i'm worried that i'm hearing the same arguments over again and on both sides of the pond. political leaders basically saying we now need to get rid of assad. pete: nigel on our side of the pond it's the difference between america first and american leadership. bipartisan support for targeted narrow strikes as a slap against using chemical weapons. what's the next step? if you don't believe it's deposing assad or getting rid of assad, how has america showed leadership in this region? >> well, look it, may well be, but given the weakness of president obama, who is threat but didn't deliver it, may well be that the u.s. government had absolutely incontrovert tillable proof that assad used chemical

weapons the other way day. this is a one off strike and warning. if that's the case, i don't think trump supporters and voters will be worried. if it's the beginning, effectively of a long military campaign, that he has aimed at regime change, then i'm sorry but i think many of the people who support you had president trump would be really, really worried about that. abby: you know, we have heard from president trump and rex tillerson and others on his team that say we've got to get help on this. we need other nations, particularly the u.k. to help us stand up to russia, to figure out how to move forward with syria. what is the mood like where you are? you are a big part, you were of the brexit movement in terms of getting more involved. >> well, i think that the arguments here in westminster in london are very similar to the u.s.a. most of the establishment here support continued military action and many in the british government would love a campaign to get rid of assad. but i think there are those of us, particularly on the brexit

side of the debate, who are really worried about this. and are we not losing sight of something else which is often in history it is the case that my enemy's enemy is my friend. however bad a man assad is, he is actually fighting isis every single day and i believe the biggest threat we face in the west is islamic terrorism. we must lose sight of this. pete: you are right about this. laura ingraham this week saying missiles flying. senator rubio is happy. hillary is on board. complete policy change in 42 hours. other members of the trump train big fans of donald trump saying this party is over. they are worried this american first strategy is going to be obliterated. >> yes. i think they are. we don't know yet exactlywhat's. clearly the neocon voices are always going to come to the foreover the course of this weekend.

clearly the president has a very, very big decision to make. just warned that recent history shows if you get rid of secular arab dictators what comes afterwards could be even worse. pete pete's it will be interesting when our own secretary of state and members of the british government are in moscow on tuesday talking about next steps can russia take the ho helm. you have been part of something called cal exit here in the united states. tell us about that. abby: breaking california into two different places? >> can i set the record absolutely straight on this? pete: please. >> there was a man called tim draper. a very successful california businessman takes the view and shared by quite a few people. california is simply too big, two to acentralized, too badly run and if you are a conservative, you effectively don't have proper political representation.

their view is that california should be split so that you get the liberal bit represented by liberals and the conservative bit represented by conservatives. and you know what? it's not me trying to break it up. i happen to be in california and i was asked talked to this group of people. my message was for 20 years everybody said i was a complete joker because i thought brexit one day would happen. you know what? if you believe in something enough and if it's right, can yu can do whatever you want in life. pete: a lot of californias i know extended family north break from the south. >> you are absolutely right. what i can tell you right now a washington firm are polling in california. they are finding out whether there is popular support for this initiative. if there is, they will get the signatures and put it on the ballot in 2018. abby: well, have you proof. never say never.

russia of complicity into chemical attacks during a visit to moscow later this week. >> that's a big deal. clayton: it's a very big deal because bashar acted alone, many apparently tillerson is going to bring to russia evidence that the russians knew about it and potentially helped cover it up or were part of it and the new york post says a war crime complicity protected. >> and to be able to present this to moscow and the foreign secretary there saying, look, we know that you guys knew about this. we know that you guys were complicit and that you covered it up. we had governor huckabee on the show earlier, not only this, we talked about north korea as well. take a listen. >> if he is going to. i hope that that remains in the back channels because there's no good reason for us to publicly make this assertion, unless we can absolutely without any doubt be able to prove it. because what we need right now

is to make sure that we're all focused on two things. number one, that these chemical attacks never happen again. and if the russians are are the best pressure point against the syrians to do it, that's great. if they were actually complicit in it, then they need to be held accountable as well. the russians are the pressure point for syria just like the chinese are the pressure point for north korea. abby: you talk about russia and that meeting that's going to take place with rex tillerson going over there, i mean, so many complaints leading up to this campaign, and even in the weeks that he's in cahoots with the russians. they had been working together, and i think all of this nips that in the butt. they are basically telling them we are focused on america first and what is best for us and what is best for this country. and if russia's not in line with that -- >> we could say it's just assad. instead we could say, no, it wasn't just satisfied. i don't know if assad's going to stay or go but regardless, russia's going to play a big part of it and it's not going

to serve russia's interest. >> there's a lot of talk about this morning about regime change. you're hearing that from the trump administration, nikki haley, the ambassador that will air later morning had this to say about syria. >> we don't see a peaceful syria winning assad in there. at the end of the day, this is a complicated situation. there are no easy answers and a political solution is going to have to happen. but we know that it is not going to be -- there is not any option where political solution is going to happen where assad is at the head of the regime. if you look at his actions, look at the situation, it's going to be hard to see a government that's peaceful and stable with assad. regime change is something that we is think going to happen because all of the parties are going to see that assad is not the leader that needs to be for syria. pete: although not everyone is onboard, nigel farage was on the show earlier saying he's hearing echoes with iraq and syria.

abby: sadam hussein as bad of a man he was, there was some way that he kept some working in the area and then you remove him, and you have this vacuum and that's when trimble rises. that's howizes gets created. if you do that in syria, there's a real concern that isis will take total -- >> and the only way to reverse is is it in 2007, 2008 where we did change that war but do not have that kind of intervention in syria. so if you're going to get the dictator but not commit troops, that's what libya looked like. so the question here is we don't see a peaceful syria with assad at the helm. do you see a peaceful syria without assad at the helm? we stillds haven't completely crushed isis. they're not friendly either. clayton: and caught in the middle of all of this is where do they hide out? being gassed by their own government and we -- elizabeth warren tweeting yesterday went

on twitter yesterday talking about how if donald trump truly wanted to help syrians being murderous, he should drop his effort to ban children from america immediately. but earlier with the show we had kasim who was in syria he fled in the 2013 gas attacks when he saw people dying in front of him. he's in germany now. he said we don't want to come there. we want to be able to go home. listen to what he had to say. >> we got gassed in 2013. 1400 people were killed and nothing happened until president trump saw what happened three days ago when the assad regime gassed more than 100 civilians. i had a lot of faith in the united states. i used to tell our friends that when the assad regime killed us, that don't worry the united states will help. that some day, somehow they will come and do something. but president obama let us down for more than six years. until president trump showed

up, and he made the right decision by striking the criminals. syrians want to stay in syria. we don't want to become refugees. we didn't rebel and made all those sacrifices to become refugees. we want to go back and rebuild it and have free elections and live in democracy just like you. abby: you can just hear the motio emotion. what a powerful interview that was when we talk about syria and what's going to happen next and what he said i think was so poignant. he said we don't necessarily want to come to the usa. we want to stay home. and thanking president trump for finally standing up for saying that we're not going to let chemical weapons happen. that's -- pete: you did a great job with that interview and what he said was that america is still the shining city on the hill. it's the beacon that the world looks to. but you have syrian flavinols one opinion and also voters in pennsylvania, ohio, and other saying, listen, we're $20 trillion in debt, our jobs

are done, we bled in the middle east without good outcomes so, yeah, we want to help people but how do we do it while serving our interest while still being the leader of the free world? i think this is a very interesting test because assad is a terrible dictator. they're fleeing to europe but the to go home. how do we create a situation that's possible without investing so much and inviting someone like isis to come back home. that's what president trump has to do. clayton: that's a great point and you're hearing from the trump train big fans of him saying the party's over. now they're wondering if the trump administration has totally changed course on the promise that he had made to them. one of the editors from info, laura ingram saying looks like the party's over. where is america first? we're going to have a repeat of george w. bush and that's what they're scared about. abby: well, president trump was very critical about being the nation builders. but what he's doing with these

air strikes is standing up for america and standing up for the world. and we saw both sides of the aisle praised. as you said yesterday, this was the first big foreign policy test that president trump had, and i think there have been a lot of people clapping their hands including that syrian refugee saying thank you. thank you for actually being strong. thank you for doing what was right. pete: there's a difference between nation building and neoconservatism and leading from behind, which is what barack obama did. i think the trump administration is trying to find that sweet spot in the middle where we're still leading. and i think they're finding their feating on that, and i think everyone should be careful to say, oh, no, he's become interventionist. abby: pete never does that. pete: day 80 of his administration. but you know what the best thing is? we're going to have chris wallis on earlier, he has hr mcmaster on, he's got the right people around him, hr mcmaster is. abby: and different voices. pete: not going to get dragged

>> chris wallis joins us now. good morning, chris, thanks for being here. you have a fantastic guest leading off, hr mcmaster. there's news reports out today that when the secretary of state goes to russia, he may be saying that the russians were complicit with assad. are you going to be able to talk about that and what do you make of those developments? >> yeah. but i think the more important question, frankly, for general mcmaster is that the exactly what the president's strategy is for syria. and you've had some confusion over the weekend that there were pretapes of some of the other sunday shows, nikki haley saying getting rid of assad was the top story, secretary tillerson said, no, isis must go first before we think about getting rid of assad and as you point out, the syrians are, again, using that same air base. they've flown new jets in, they're using the same runways and reportedly they've gone to that same town that they hit by chemical weapons and now they're attacking with conventional weapons which

raises the question the president was unwilling to see those babies getting bombed by chemical weapons but is it okay if they're still killed but just by using a different kind of weapon? so a lot of questions still remaining, even after that powerful missile attack, and we're going to be pursuing that with general hr mcmaster, the president's national security adviser, the first television interview he has done since taking that. >> and of course as you know the president on the campaign trail even before he was a candidate was really against any sort of nation building, america first, getting involved in syria would be a huge mistake. so this came as i think a surprise to a lot of people in washington that sort of reversal within 48 hours. what do you make of that? >> well, it was a dramatic reversal and some people would say that the trump administration played a role because in the days just before the chemical attack, you had nikki haley at the un, you had tillerson at the state department, and spicer at the

white house, sean spicer all saying that we in effect had to accept that assad was in charge in syrian, and we were going to have to live with that. and some people think that may have embolden assad, not to say there's any excuse but it may embolden assad that we get away with a chemical attack. now, as we say the president said we couldn't and wants to strike 59 missiles on the syrian air base and comes now that they're using different weapons, conventional weapons but still killing those babies, are we just going to stand by? abby: chris, big picture here. doesn't this sort of blow out of the water this notion that the criticism liberals and conservatives, many people have had about president trump being in cahoots with the russians? >> well, look, we don't know what happened during the campaign. that's an investigation and whatever the facts are there are the facts and this doesn't change that. i think it's fair to say that there's been a lesson here not only for some of those critics but maybe for the president as

well who even after he was elected kept talking about trying to establish some kind of alliance with putin and there are a number of things that have happened, the fact that they've apparently broken one of our arms controlled treaties by deploying an intermediate nuclear missile and, again, what's going on in syria, the fact that they had promised that we gotten rid of all of the chemical weapons and obviously we didn't. so, you know, you can have all kinds of opinions on the campaign trail. but when you get in the real world, and you say how these people act, sometimes reality -- abby: reality sets in. exactly. pete: we mention hr mcmaster, who else do you have? >> the president's national security adviser also going to be talking to two top senate leaders as well as the nuclear option and the gorsuch confirmation, john, the number two republican in the senate, ben, the top democrat in the senate relations committee and also an interview with bill

what we've done in both recent is rise isis. so i'm worried we're hearing the same argument again and both sides political leaders saying we now need to get rid. effectively of a long military campaign that he's aimed at regime change, then i'm sorry, but i think many of the people who supported president trump would be really, really worried about that. abby: yeah, -- >> so will they worry about it? here to react campaign manager david bossie. you heard nigel farage there and other voices over the past 48 hours, laura ingram and others saying watch out. are we slipping into nation-building territory here? they're concerned. what do you say to them? >> that the president takes all of those voices into consideration before making an incredibly-tough decision. look, sitting at that desk inside the oval office is a

very different thing than campaigning. and i think that when information comes to happen, and he sees what is going on in syria with this chemical attack, he looks at a couple of different things. the humanitarian crisis that could continue to escalate in the middle east, which is just not acceptable because that means more disruption in europe, more disruption here in the united states as far as immigration flow. and then he looks at the deterrent. the deterrent to other nations and the deterrent to assad himself from using chemical weapons again, and i think it sends a message to the russians and to the chinese there's a new leader in town. there's a new sheriff in town, and we're going to not sit by weekly just like barack obama did for eight years. we're going to stand up and try to take control of some of these situations as they unfold. abby: david, i do want to know. does president trump, we heard from ambassador nikki haley saying we have to find a new regime in syria to make any

sort of progress. is that what the president feels? does he think that assad needs to be removed? >> well, look, i haven't spoken to happen about this, so i would let the president speak for himself, and i think that regime change is a far cry from a limited strike to an airfield that is responsible for the chemical attacks. so i would like to see that the president has had a very measured response but a very strong message to the world that america's back and our foreign policy should be -- will be felt and should be feared. pete: in the aftermath as you said a very strong targeted attack in syria. some of the president's critics have taken to twitter as they tend to do, including then senator warren. she said we need a plan to hold assad accountable but so far seeing no compelling strategic for trump's missile strike. >> oh, god. pete: she went on to talk about refugees as well and said if donald trump really wants to help syrian murders,

she should drop the ban immediately. somehow because he wants to extreme vet who comes to our country because of the threat of isis, that makes him unable to take on a chemical weapons attack? >> is that means elizabeth warren is okay with gassing women and children in syria. look, she -- for me to say that is ridiculous. for her to say that is ridiculous. she politicizes everything. she is quite frankly in the, you know, a barack obama 2.0 foreign policy, which is american weakness at home and abroad. she doesn't care about what president trump's point is, which is let's make syria safe and livable for their people there so they don't have to come here. that's the president's vision is to have world peace where people can live in their own nations and not have to come to the united states or western europe to save themselves and their families. clayton: david, we'll get you out of here on this.

rex tillerson reportedly set to go to russia and meet with foreign secretary and present them with evidence compelling evidence that they know that we know they're responsible and complicit in this chemical attack. do you know anything about that? >> no, i don't, but i could just tell you. i'm disappointed and quite honestly, it's disgraceful for the democrats in the house and in the senate to continue this political activity of really attacking the president on these russian -- fake russian stories. this fake news of complicit activity between our campaign and russia. it's outrageous, and it's deadly to potentially deadly to people because they are politicizing this to a point where the president can't speak directly to putin without scrutiny, and i think this is really a disturbing trend that they politicize everything for politics-sake instead of taking seriously america's national guard security.

pete: and those accusations at this point run counter to any evidence at this point to things of great consequence. david bossie, thank you very much. abby: busy awake ahead. thank you. pete: you just heard secretary of state tillerson reportedly accusing russia of the chemical weapons attack. dr. sebastion who is inside the white house here to react next. clayton: and shutting down a conservative author on campus. we're going to hear from that author next.

>> welcome back to fox and friends on this sunday morning. deputy assistant to happen on a morning where we're getting these reports, doctor, of new reports of secretary of state tillerson along with his british counterpart heading to russia this week in this new report to accuse the russian government of complicity in this syrian chemical attack. doctor, can you confirm that? >> i don't want to disappoint my friends in new york but this isn't the obama administration. we don't give our game play away. so we can talk about the syria attack. we can talk about why russia is an important part of the solution, but i'm not going to undermine the secretary or give away what we intend to

do. that's obama. that's not president trump. >> fair enough. what do you see as the -- how would you like to move the ball down the field then as it pertains to syria and what russia can do to be part of the solution as opposed to just backing this dictator? >> right. the american people need to understand he's two things. he's a great patriot, he loves this country, but look at his business career, he's an amazing fragmentist, he knows where he has to get, and that's he's the master of the deal. his white house looks at the world as it is, not as we wish it to be. that's the last eight years where he created fantasies about how the world should be and what is achievable. and as such, as pragmatists, we look at syria and realize it's not just a question of the assad regime of hundreds of thousands of civilians being killed, it's also geopolitical puzzle.

it involves other nations. remember, this is a are he jeem that has been sponsored by iran, the biggest state sponsored terrorism for decades. it's backed by china, backed by russia. as a result, we have to deal with those pathway puzzle before we come to resolution. the point of our action this week is that diplomacy without force backing it up is just words. and that's why we're taking the -- we took the action we took with regard to the airfield and now we have to deal with the other players that are involved and ask them it's time to resolve this, are you prepared to work with america? abby: doctor, how do you lead this country and also not be the police of the world? how do you find that right balance; right? because now you're looking at a rea regime change, how do you get that right? >> so, again, it's the combination of two things. you look at national security interest, it is -- it is in

the national security interest of the united states to deal with the threat of chemical weapons used against civilians when it's happening in a war zone where our primary threat isis is running around the battlefield. so the first thing is you measure what the impact is to national security. and, again, strategy is like politics. it's the art of the possible, and you don't make the perfect -- you don't make the good the enemy of the perfect. so we change, we assist where possible. and when something as egregious as the use of chemical weapon against women and children occurs, we will take action. >> so you've been a staunch voice against isis here on this program for many, many years. so as you mentioned isis in that breath there on the battlefield there in syria. so on the one hand, you havizes. you could create this vacuum where isis could run rampant if you do have a regime removed, and that open space

for isis to flourish. what is the discussion happening inside the white house? this is an absolute conundrum. >> yeah. look at the team, look at the secretaries, you've got four star generals, you've got civilians, rex tillerson, an incredible manager, ceo, a man who has done geopolitics in the private sector for decades. we have the capacity, and we have the leadership in president trump. but the question of how we're going to do this, we do get everybody to understand that the way things are cannot remain. the idea that half a million people, women and children, are going to be killed while america just sits on the sidelines as was the case during the obama administration. the idea that susan rice with the russians -- think about this. this is your russia story that susan rice and the russians guaranteed us three years ago there are no chemical weapons. that kind of behavior is going to end.

abby: yeah, it also makes you concerned, though, about iran and the iran deal and what they have in terms of weapons and nukes; right? when you see the chemical weapons in syria and how that wasn't totally accurate. it makes you think about iran. >> well, yes, and i think it's an incredibly positive sign just how quiet they've been. that tells you they're drawing conclusions and not shooting from the hip anymore. the people who have a lot of responsibility with regard to the carnage in the middle east understand there is a new president and that new president isn't going to lead from behind, which is a oxymoron, president trump is going to lead from the front of the pack, and i think various nations now understand that. pete: very much so. and one of the unintended consequences what happened in syria over the last couple of days, it's blowing away the narrative that there's collusion between russia and president trump. but when you look at vladimir putin and look at the russians who have a lot of boots on the ground and interest in syria, do you see them? do you believe they could be part of the solution or are they permanently going to be

part of the problem there? >> that's up for them to decide, but i think they finally realize how very, very different this president is, and i hope they come to the correct conclusion that, you know, we are not going to allow things like this to occur, as the president said. let's listen to the boss' own expression of the future. in the last press conference he gave in trump tower, someone asked him with what about moscow, what about relations with putin? he said, look, we would like to have good relations with moscow. right now, it doesn't seem possible. if that is the case, so be it. he's a pragmatist. we would like them to be part of the solution. let's give it a shot and see what secretary tillerson is able to achieve. abby: always appreciate your insight. thanks for being with us. >> thanks so much. clayton: well, it was one of the president's signature campaign pledges. >> look what's happening to the youth of this country. it's being poisoned. we're going to help the people that are seriously addicted.

clayton: huge problem. what can the new fda chief help to defeat the opioid epidemic? dr. siegel is here with some advice on that. here he is. abby: come on in, doctor. plus they're all here with us live this morning. stick with us you can't predict the market. but through good times and bad... ...at t. rowe price... ...we've helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence.

abby: and we're back with some headlines. stop and look at this video. a powerful gust of wind picks up a bouncy house into live power lines 20 feet high. it happened at a church in south carolina. five children rushed to the hospital. their injuries are still unknown and a second inflatable also blown into a tree. luckily it was empty at the time. a firefighter says both houses

were anchored by stakes. and protests erupting on a college campus as a conservative author was speaking. [chanting] abby: police were forced to shut down heather macdonald's event at claremont college before she could finish. she said faculty, they need to step it up. >> the discussion about inner city crime has been so taboo that these kids actually don't know it and for that, i blame the faculty because their view of the unacceptability of free speech and the victim hood comes from the faculty. abby: her book is how about the new war on law enforcement is putting all of our safety

at risk. pete: well, it was one of president trump's signature campaign pledges. >> i hear so many stories and pleas from women especially about drug addiction and opioid use. we lose thousands of our fellow americans every year to opioid use. look what's happening to the youth of this country. it's being poisoned. we're going to help the people that are seriously addicted. we're going to expand access to abuse-deterring drugs, stop the opioid epidemic, we have to do it. >> huge problem. so what can the new fda chief do to help the new opioid crisis? dr. mark siegel here to weigh in. >> great to see you guys. clayton: here are some specifics. 78 people die from opioid overdoses every day, and we spend over $20 billion on treating these poisons from opioid poisoning. what can we do? >> well, doctor says it's

going to be the fda's most immediate and major priority. now, what can the fda do? first of all, the fda helped cause this problem, which he admits. dial it back about 15 or 20 years, complaint, we physicians were told we were undertreated pain. people are in pain. we've got to treat them. chronic pain. institute of medicine, 100 million pain sufferers they said that we were overlooking, so we started to get involved, and we were told opioids were the way to treat it. pharmaceutical companies of course came marching in telling us prescribe this. prescribe this. the fda was a gate approving one after another. we have a synthetic out there that's 50 times more potent than heroin. what do we do now that doctors getting restricted? doctors saying what about physical therapy? what about muscle relaxative? use it for cancer only.

they can come out forms that are not as addictive, educate physicians. we're not taught anything in medical school about how to treat pain. they can look at restricting drugs putting better labeling on drugs. they can get the antidotes to drugs into the pharmacies and out there to be used. we have to have access to treatment. the fda has to play a very strong role policing this and being a gate, not a swinging gate, but a gatekeeper and working with the dea, which also should restrict as well. >> veterans who go there for treatment, and they get handed a bucket full of pills. >> huge problem, and you've been talking about that. huge problem in the va. and, you know, there's a lot of other ways to approach this. as i said, there's physical therapy. there is muscle relaxers, there's acupuncture, there's a chiropractor that works with the veterans. this is really, really important. overdozing occurring because of physicians. we are the reason. especially primary care physicians like me.

we're prescribing up to 50% of the opioids. a patient comes in, we're in pain, i'm busy, we're prescribing a medication that shouldn't be there. the other thing the fda is doing, and i hope they do this, that this is a public health problem. when you approve a drug, you don't just say does it work for a patient? does it for work society? these drugs as president trump says are killing society. abby: it's ruined so many lives. dr. mark siegel, good to see you this morning. >> thank you. clayton: coming up, the u.s. launching missile strike against syria but the media say it was all orchestrated by putin or some on the left media. >> vladimir putin orchestrated what happened in syria so that his friend in the white house could have a big night. clayton: newt gingrich is going to be here to react to that statement next hour. pete: and do you hear the siren? it's the pc police. they're patrolling campus again. harvard removing the word pilgrim from its school to

if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. ask your doctor about eliquis.

♪ abby: isn't that beautiful? the sound of the anthem, harvard pc police are at it again announcing changes to the anthem because the word

puritan isn't inclusive enough. clayton: so what do students think? let's ask harvard jr. emily hall. you went to harvard. >> thank you so much for having me. clayton: you went to harvard because it has a respected track record of being a top-notch eye havey league institution. did you expect that they would try to undo history as part of your history? >> that is not at all what we expected. we've seen now that the task force on inclusion and belonging here at harvard has decided the word that puritan, you know, the people who founded harvard isn't inclusive enough. we've seen this all the time at campus reform. we reported on yale has renamed calvin college, harvard law school has now changed its seal, and we've also now seen this. the anthem isn't inclusive enough. these colleges instead of revisoring history should just be teaching it. >> well, here's a statement from harvard. here's what they said about this. they said that the song was

revised in 1998 to make the lyrics more gender inclusive, but they left the final line as it was. we think it's time for a change. the task force on inclusion and belonging launched competition to confirm that harvard's motto speaks to and on behalf of all of members of our community, regardless of background, identity, religious affiliation, or viewpoint. so essentially rewriting history. >> yes. pete: emily, where's the task force for conservatives? do you feel your viewpoints are belonged as much as you would like? >> i don't think that the task force on inclusion and belonging at all represents my viewpoints. although i do have a group of people that i found at school, i think it was really difficult when i first came to college. you know, we have more people at harvard who identify as socialists that are willing to call themselves conservatives. abby: yeah, i believe it. your voice was heard this morning, emily. thanks for being with us. pete: thank you.

in a u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson will be heading to russia with the british government and complicity of bacteria chemical attacks are in a visit to moscow. he think that mean it will happen and what you make of the broader recognition? >> as of this morning, they still have a trip that was land before last week. i don't know any indication is not going to go to russia. i think secretary tillerson has been remarkably candid paint either the russians are incompetent and didn't know that the serious, that assad had chemical weapons or they were colluding with assad to keep them. so putin gets to choose an confidence or of his choice. i think that kind of love talk is exactly what we've been meeting and is a wonderful change from the hillary clinton, john kerry psychobabble that never quite seem to get around to reality. >> better than the misspelled reset button. considering that meeting happens

on tuesday, what is secretary of state rex tillerson, what outcome are they looking are with the at this point? >> look, president trump has said over and over again we don't have an automatic interesting being in hostilities afresh. we have problems that have to be managed. we are still deeply concerned about stealing crimea. we are very concerned about the use of hybrid warfare in eastern ukraine. we want to make sure they are not confused at all about our commit to the baltic states and we have a very deep interest in what they will try to do in syria. all of those things require talking with each other in trying to find a way to de-conflict. the other part of this is in the end if we are prepared to be as tough as we can be, the russians can't end up against us. they don't have the military capacity to project power into the eastern mediterranean against the united states if we

decide we are not going to tolerate it. they are running a very big risk of getting over extended and humiliated. tillerson will be blunt in private and family don't want any of these conflicts and we don't want to conflict with you, but we are also telling you think the obama administration and president trump is going to be very tough. >> they will call the weekend. >> there's been regime change now. the ambassador to the u.n. come in mickey hayley talking this morning on the state of the union. is that the way forward because there are concerns about doing that for policing the world and getting in that trap again. >> first of all, we do police the world. he showed that in the very opening. an aircraft carrier from australia back towards north korea. we have deep engagements in central and south america. we are involved all across the middle east. we have forces in iraq.

we have to make a sustainable, affordable and something the american people will tolerate and not as part of the great challenge for the administration. but we are the leading country in the world. you notice, by the way, how many countries came out and said he got donald trump has encouraged us to do this. the saudi king called and said i'm so glad you did this. i think we need to recognize that affect the american leadership, the question is not leading or not leading. can you design strategies that are affordable economically, psychologically, politically affordable that enable you to be a fact of a lot of places. for example, if we wanted to change the regime, the key is to encourage this. military to have a coup and replace assad, which i think probably could happen. the next step is an american ground forces. there is always this do not intersect in two divisions. you can easily blockade the country and set up an air blockade. you cut off air in seattle committees. there is no neighborhood.

the turks don't like him come iraq is don't like him iraq is all i can come a saudi iraq is don't like him cometh out of salt lake iraq is don't like him cometh out of salt lake and current jordanian still like them. you could isolate that government in a matter of weeks, convince assad's military to get rid of them. that would give you government that this wasn't so morally reprehensible that she couldn't end it. >> i may like every weekend to enjoy your coffee and sit back and read senator elizabeth moran's tweets from the past 48 hours if i'd like to kick off your weekend. she went on a sweater i'm trying to understand is taken in the thing that donald trump truly wants to help. clean that area, that he should drop his effort to ban their children from america immediately. however, we have to seem to eat on the show earlier. they interview pretty compelling. he's in germany. he fled after the 2015 gas attack where you saw in the numbers killed, brutally murdered.

i don't necessarily want to come to america. i want to go back home. he disagrees with the left-wing argument in the united states. listen to kaseem if you missed it. >> we got gas. 1400 people were killed and nothing happened until presidenpresiden t trump saw what happened three days ago when the assad regime gassed more than 100 civilians. i had a lot of faith in the united states. they used to tell my friends in the demonstrations while we were chanting for freedom but don't worry, the united states will help, and that someday, somehow they will come and do something. a president obama led us down for more than six years until president trump showed up and he made the right decision by striking. syrians want to stay in syria. we don't want to become refugees. we didn't make all the sacrifices to become refugees. we want to go back and rebuild it and have free elections in lebanon democracy.

>> well, look. that is the core challenge we face as a country. people weather on the right or the left, people who want us to withdraw from responsibility around the world has to recognize when you have a country collapse, libya, yemen, syria, the waves of refugees are massive. moore has been done to dislocate european civilization by allowing the collapse of these countries and the waves of refugees that are now porting to europe. what has been done had they been more aggressive and more assertive in figuring out a way to organize governments. libya would never threaten us. several million libyans on the move, the same thing with the area. the same thing with yemen, somalia. the world is awash in refugees because we don't have a model for helping fill the days become successful state and we have to figure out how to do that because we can't and the level of dislocation that we see worldwide. >> such a great point.

the harder hand is the more compassionate thing to do as it pertains to the human condition. one of the aspects of it happening. the last week as president trump has stared down, putting to rest, i believe his claim to carry kudos. they just cannot let it go. there's got to be some sort of a mysterious romance behind the scene. take a listen to it a host of another network had to say. >> wouldn't it be nice if it was just completely, totally, absolutely impossible to suspect that vladimir putin orchestrated what happened in syria this week so that his friend in the white house could have a big night with missiles and all of the praise he's picked up over the last 24 hours. wouldn't it be so nice if you couldn't even in your wildest dreams imagine a scenario like that. i don't do

is it a 2% chance, 50% chance? i don't know. i don't think it's a 0% chance can be used to be with every other president prior to donald trump. >> mr. speaker, even rachel maddow insane are you insane? >> this is a man who could easily use in pain on a court case. by insane i mean they believe things that are not true. they believe them with great passion and they are literally outside of reality. this is true across the whole system of hardbacks about whether whether college campuses are newsrooms or in the car. i mentioned elizabeth moran earlier. that is one of the interesting test for american society is can we actually distinguish between reality and these kind of really bizarre fantasies that have nothing to do with the real world. abby: gets to be a very dangerous path. mr. gingrich, thank you for being with us. other headlines begin with a fox

administration's appointment liar in chief issue came out, lied about benghazi. a year ago on msnbc she said all that chemical weapons were removed from syria. did she know then just like whenever she lied about benghazi that they were removed? it's insane. what she'll say, just like the new administration in town. the last administration doesn't represent across the world with the u.s. is. i think it's time for the last administration to be held accountable. the one thing they were so consistent on, they would compromise the truth at a moments notice for political agenda and that's insane. she still trying to defend it. >> you think she was given wrong information or she knew the real facts and is telling public something different. >> here's what i would say. i would stack of the back may be

another circumstances in other situations in day maybe she didn't. maybe she was misinformed. i think with her still continuing like she just did about continuing to sad that we were still more effective at getting the chemical weapons out, more than what their decisions based in 2013 then you would be able to and when a challenger to say is go over and tell the family who just lost their loved ones to which he did with the fact is, the actions you did this affect is. >> president a bomb in 20 says it turns out we were right that by not attacking them we were right because we manage to get all of those chemical weapons out of syria. we hear that david played the city yesterday. it just makes your skin crawl. >> a definite two shows you the whole administration operated under a political prism. every decision made off a political agenda assembler,

trying to make everyone happy. at the end of the day, to see president trump: make the decision, not worry about naysayers and not worry about women in the court of public opinion and making a decision that was more the right. i don't know if i say in decisions made for the last administration or based off of what is morally right and they stuff their obligation to the world and to the people that rely on us. you see the theory and they look to us to call make and bring peace and help them out at times been that the most. >> you are a war fighter. you receive that metal under the obama administration. their actions in syria, what's your take on how president trump has responded there? >> it takes my respect level through the roof. it gives us the assurance we will do what is right, that we are back. that's what it feels like.

clayton: well, before a care, before he cannot strikes in syria, president trump gave russia had to come a motive being questioned by some democrats. >> one of the concerns i have, i certainly think it was on the range of military options, one of the more limited options to utilize aircraft. to us and the risk of loss of life of our pilots. they also evidently did everything they could to bet to say to make sure they would be

human casualties and the russian casualties. clayton: if he had warned the russians, would they blame the president for starting world war iii. boris johnson democratic pollster and strategist jessica turner loves. was this a long move for president trump to when the russians about what we were planning to do? >> absolutely not. during the campaign we saw that some democrats are donald trump is a double agent for the russians. donald trump is not the temperament to be president. president trump notified the russians had the advice of the generals to prevent world war iii. he carried out a strike. enforce president obama's red line and is a successful mission. clayton: jessica, applause? >> don't push me, but i thought it was the right move. chuck schumer, nancy pelosi is saying adam schiff eventually now is no of the president

saying he thought it was the most limited and correct option. we need to make sure we have congressional oversight moving toward which is something republicans have her as well. from my understanding, it is appropriate to when the russians to make sure they know we were going into their heirs base. i don't know how much he actually shared good we'll see if we get more information on that. as of now, this is completely the correct move and i don't think democrats have been tough about that part. >> you and lawrence o'donnell on msnbc the other night. he shared the same name so i don't know. basically saying maybe there was collusion. the vladimir putin orchestrated this whole thing in order to bolster president trump. what did you make of that? >> this is why they lose because they promoted nonsense. donald trump was in bed with russia. now that he is attacking, who is

in bed with russia. now he was trained to warn them and russia is to ban abortion. none of this makes sense. the american voters are going to die if it. clayton: what about the narrative can the narrative can adjust the outcome of the collision between the trump transition team, president trump and russians. now at this rack tillerson is heading to moscow to lay the evidence right before then that they were in good moods and had knowledge of these chemical weapons? >> now, i think that rex tillerson and nikki haley have been striking the right to hurt me. the collision stories a lot eager than what went on in whatever conspiracy theory lawrence o'donnell may have posited on rachel maddow show. these are two separate issues. plenty of members and it is worthwhile to be investigating the relationship between the trump transition team and the russian. you have people like carter page, paul manafort who were in

but for me, look, if you look at some of the videos online of some of the hollywood people that were really opposed, you know, i just said this the other day. i said now let me ask you, if hillary clinton won and frank zappa -- can be had. some other conservative celebrity went out and said the same thing that deniro said. even deniro was bad in the vice versa, like hey, that's really not cool. he said some crazy stuff. for me, that registers in two ways. shows how much hollywood is disconnect it from the blue-collar mainstream america. and now for me, i kind of think again snl sufferers are to try to drive out the young people, get them to receive the message where they are coming around.

it's already kind of an kind of initiative 30 past in my opinion. now we've got to more than anything focused on doing all they can to support the president. abby: you are here for a project. having how i got here. i want to show people the trailer. >> jesus in this moment is taking on the seventh of every person who was simply just put their trust in him. this is why he was crashed. it was for me. if jesus could forget his torturers, maybe he could forgive me. abby: the entire show is the entire show as he appeared at the one-man show. >> yeah, this was one of the toughest things i've ever done. having how i got here, and night with the phenom across pretty wonderful ministry called unlocking the bible. it's palm sunday. we've got easter coming up in a week. this is a stage play i did a
