tell us what purpose does this type of bomb serve? >> as you pointed out it tells our enemies it is a bad idea to be an enemy of the united states. a new tagline, returning terrorists to their component molecules since 2017. they need to know that. for eight years our enemies ran rampant, they knew president obama was not going to take action. if you look at geo strategy as a high risk poker game, obama didn't know he was the sucker at the table. donald trump has walked in, sat down and laid a 45 on the table and said the rules changed, you better pay attention. >> they had this bomb's 2003. tucker carlson had a guest that said this is one of 15 of these

bombs, why are we using it right now when we had it since 2003. what is the change here? >> inauguration day with the change. when it was developed it was designed to take out a tunnel complex, cave complex or underground facilities like nuclear places, kim in north korea, it served a dual purpose, killed a lot of bad guys which is a good thing and serve to deter other bad actors from acting bad. those two things, the best use for military hardware ever is to stop somebody from doing something that makes us use it. if it stops any of the bad guys, vladimir putin, assad, kim in north korea, from doing something wrong, good, that is what we want. >> let's look at the specifics of the bomb itself.

21,000 pound bomb. 11 explosives, the blast itself was 1-mile wide in radius and as you mentioned it was intended for use against tunnels but 36 isis fighters were killed in this attack, no civilians which is great news. >> another saying, rubble doesn't make trouble. if you go ahead and take out 36 isis fighters, take out their support facilities, take out their caps and homes and tunnels where they operate, that makes them useless to the cause. again, it makes sure everybody else knows there is no place you can hide. you conduct into your waffle and we turn it into dust. that is a great message for anybody with bad ideas anywhere around the world. >> donald trump saying this is a very successful mission. what do we know about what happened on the ground? 36 isis fighters killed, what damage was done in terms of this

tunnel? >> there is not much left. i don't know that we have done bomb damage assessment on the ground. i am sure we had satellites and drones going close and who knows? it may have destroyed enough of them to walk in and walk across it but haven't seen any pictures. it would be nice to see, a picture of that crater would go a long way to be part of that hole in the ground. >> 300 m wide. that is some damage. >> absolutely. >> jim hansen will be back in the second half hour. bashar al-assad denying he launched a chemical attack on his own people saying it was 100% fabricated by the united states, asking if those children were even dead at all. >> we don't -- we are not going

to use it and if you don't have proof -- >> there can be very little doubt the recent attacks and chemical weapons attack, by the syrian government and the syrian regime, we believe it was a war crime. >> assad saying children are faking their own deaths. the us is working to carry out the chemical attacks, the trump administration lied to justify the strike. the family of the green beret killed, we mentioned him earlier, that fundraiser, $14,000 in three days, he died in afghanistan, started a go fund me page to help this widow and her five children ranging

pakistan targeting a complex system of tunnels and caves isis was using to move about freely left 36 islamic fighters dead and no civilian casualties according to military officials. donald trump was asked if he on the rise it. >> did you authorize? >> everybody knows exactly what happened. we have the greatest military in the world and they have done a job as usual. that is why they have been so successful. if you look at what happened over the last eight weeks and compare that to what happened in the last eight years you will see there is a tremendous difference. >> was a message to north korea as well? escalating rhetoric and provocations from north korea wondering if they are headed for a confrontation. mark toner had this to say.

>> provocations from north korea have grown too dangerous to ignore anymore so working with the international community including our partners in the region, how we hold the kim jong-il regime accountable for its refugee behavior. >> it is a strong message, the mother of all bombs being sent to isis, the gloves are off and i got to tell you, in 2003, with joe dunford, the joint chiefs serving under general matus, we were back in mosul as well and it is something to see, things changed from the early days through obama and the trump administration, a lot to watch. >> the president's recent actions proving his ability to shift strategy based on the best information but watch how the

>> a fox news alert, >> how can we expect isis to respond, at the center for security, jim hansen, joining us again to weigh in. hamid karzai, former president of afghanistan had this to say, quote, this is not the war on terror but the misuse of our country is attesting ground for new and dangerous weapons. it is up to us to stop the usa. should it scare us this is a call for them now? >> hamid karzai should understand if isis is building total complexes in afghanistan, that is on them, not us and how we destroy that threat to all humanity shouldn't be his concern. he should be applauding the deaths of those jihadists rather than giving us a hard time about

it. >> talk about the province where this occurred, some facts we know, isis stronghold since 2015, one of 34 provinces that shares a border with pakistan, 1000 isis, afghan fighters in the province in this area, 36 of them, good news. how did we have the intelligence to strike the specific area. >> this is an actual conference they thought was remote enough to be protected because of his underground. and they do control large swaths of that territory. the problem is isis has been under pressure in syria and iraq and they go to places like afghanistan and libya and other places, they are moving out because donald trump cut down the black flag looking for new

safe havens. we should not allow that and we are not going to allow it. >> how should we expect isis to respond to a 22,000 pound bomb? >> they call on supporters to conduct more attacks like the one in stockholm, westminster and we had a vehicle attack at ohio state university. what we really need is the supreme court to uphold the travel ban and vetting measures donald trump put in place to keep us safe, liberal activist judges put a halt, they would to play like they are the commander-in-chief, to allow the actionable commander-in-chief to do his job, and stop people who mean us harm. >> goes to the question i wanted to ask in terms of destroying the caliphate in the middle east

what does it mean for our security at home? should we expect to see an uptick in the call for lone wolf attacks and things like that that you were talking about? >> absolutely. they have been doing it and they will step it up as they get squeezed out and when the black flag comes down they will look for others to raise it elsewhere, they like to franchise operations. if you do some terror they will take it up and be ready for it so they would love nothing more than to do that in the united states. that is the big win for them. we need to make sure the president is not hindered by people with a political agenda stopping his national security agenda. >> the president saying he is not going to stand for this so we will be right back. >> appreciate it. a strong message listening to what jim said. let's check in with pete for what is coming up on "fox and friends". you have a lot of guests on tap. >> complete coverage of the bombing in afghanistan, a hub
