state, he will take the stage. bernie sanders, the senator from vermont is saying he will lead protests against his confirmation. thanks for joining us. i'm dana perino. now shepard smith. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 at the white house. 10:00 p.m. in damascus. the russians have saying we have your back. the white house briefing set to start in 30 minutes. president trump has said he will not warn america's enemies of a strike in advance. except today he tweeted of a strike in advance. he said missiles are headed to syria. we'll show you how russia is responding. we've seen videos of civilians suffering of the chemical attack in syria. syria and russia call it a fabrication. is there proof? >> is there any evidence that the assad regime has had a

chemical attack? is there enough evidence? and breaking minutes ago. a new report that the fbi agents that raided the president's lawyer were looking for records related to mr. trump's infamous access hollywood recording. that is new. let's get to it. here we go. not much happening today. president trump putting syrian dictator bashar al-assad and his allies on notice after russia threatened military retaliation for any strike on syria. the russians have threatened to retaliate if the u.s. president does what he says he's going to do. the defense secretary jim mattis at the white house right now for a meeting about syria. the president tweeted. this was historic. russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at syria. get ready, russia. because they will be coming. nice and new and smart.

you shouldn't be partners with a gas-killing animal that kills his people and enjoys it." well, the russian president putin says the situation in the world is getting more chaotic. russian lawmakers say they would view a strike on syria as a war crime that could trigger a direct military confrontation into the u.s. and russia. the russians call the chemical attack fabricated. activists say it happened in douma, an eastern suburb of damascus. the activists say the syrian government forces unleashed a poison gas attack on their own people killing dozens, including women and children. we'll look at the evidence from both sides. what we know and what frankly we do not yet know. president trump's tweet about a possible strike in syria -- president trump's tweet saying

that a strike in syria is coming because that's what he tweeted. comes after he said in the past that he would not give advanced notice of military action. >> america's enemies must never know our plans or believe they can wait us out. i won't say when we're going to attack. attack we will. >> shepard: well, today's tweet said the attack is coming but didn't say when the missiles would be launching. we're hoping to get more answers about a possible u.s. response in a little less than a half hour. jennifer griffin is on fox's top story and live at the pentagon. jen what do you know? >> it's not just u.s. naval assets being repositioned. new at light images from imagesat international shows that russia's 11 warships in syria have put out to sea within recent hours.

presumably so that they're not sitting ducks or collateral damage from a u.s. strike. the pentagon has a guided missile destroyer off the coast of syria. the u.s.s. donald cook has 75 tomahawk missiles on board and 20 surface to air missiles in the event that russian war planes attempt to challenge it. and then there's the french frigate with about 70 crews missiles on board. president trump contacted french president macron this morning. european airspace authorities issued a rapid alert notification for aircraft near syria. due to the possible launch of air strikes with air to ground and/or cruise missiles in the

next 72 hours and the intermittent disruption of radio equipment, due consideration needs to be taken. all signs are that a u.s. strike is eminent. the president has telegraphed as much. >> the defense secretary james mattis says the united states and its allies are still assessing reports of a chemical weapons attack on syria. the defense secretary says we're still assessing this. we've seen the horrific images, men, women and children appear to be gasping for air. many getting hosed down with water and using inhalers to help them breathe. of course we cannot independently verify any of these images. we cannot verify that an attack actually happened. if it did, we cannot verify who may have been behind it. the united nations is demanding access to the area so that its people can investigate. so far denied. the syrian government backed by russia and iran, they're all together, the syrian government denies that any of this happened

at all. russian military officials say they have found no evidence of a chemical attack. they even claim that a volunteer organization called the white helmets made the whole thing up. many of the pictures in the video that you have seen come from the white helmets also known as the syrian civil defense. who are they? volunteers. in the opposition-held areas of syria. remember, parts of the country are no longer held by the government. they're held by opposition. these people help rescue survivors after attacks. the white helmets. the group released this image claiming it shows smoke rising from douma, the town following saturday's attack. again, we can't verify this amateur video. our foreign desk roughly translated it for us. the man wearing a gas mask says he's in douma and this is evidence that assad's gangs fired poisonous gas in this

town. back to jennifer griffin at the pentagon. we're not doubting this video. we can't verify it. what we're trying to find out is, can the united states government or the military or anybody else validate this video? >> not the u.s. government yet but the world health organization or who has reported its partners on the ground have indicated 500 syrian patients have shown exposure to toxic chemicals and disruption to their central nervous systems. the organization of the prohibition of chemical weapons, another u.n. agency has sent a team to syria to investigate. mattis was asked whether the pentagon could confirm the use of chemical weapons earlier today. >> have you seen evidence that the assad regime has used a chemical attack? >> we're still assessing the intelligence ourselves and our

allies. >> is the u.s. military ready for a strike? >> we stand ready to provide military options if appropriate as the president determines. thanks very much, ladies and gentlemen. thank you very much. >> russia is threatening to target u.s. warships or bases that fire on syria. remember, there's 2,000 u.s. troops in eastern syria. russia haas been jamming the gps of u.s. drones. a delegation of russian lawmakers are in damascus meeting president assad. it's not clear what their message will be. the russians are claiming the images from douma are fake. >> shepard: thanks, jennifer. let's go to john alterman, director of the middle east program at the center for strategic studies. a bipartisan nonprofit research organization. thank you, sir. >> thank you, shep. >> shepard: are we right to ask questions about this particular video and this attack?

i say that because the government and none of its pieces or parts have or come forward with anything saying this is definitive. the defense secretary says we're still assessing and the president warns the russians the missiles are on the way. >> i think the president knows some things they're not saying and the secretary of defense knows things they're not saying. there's the video evidence. there may be some overhead evidence that a satellite imagery that we have that would give us a sense that we intercepted communications from the syrian government or from victims. you can verify that they're fielding those symptoms at the time. i can imagine there are a lot of possible streams of evidence that would reinforce it. what the u.n. is trying to do is say let's get in, let's get nonpartisan observers in and try

to prove this as a way of moving the syrian government. i think what you're seeing on the u.s. government side may be we're not even going to wait for that. the president will act in the time, place and manner of his choose. >> shepard: over than 500,000 pooh are dead. there's no denying that. the question is, haven't there been chemical attacks repeatedly according to these same organizations by the dozens over this time period? >> there haven't been for a while. the syrians agreed to get rid of their chemical stockpiles. the russians certified they have got rid of them and it hasn't happened. so there's a desire on the u.s. side and the french side and other countries saying we have to demonstrate this is not acceptable. the broader question, which goes to your point about 500,000 having died in the conflict, what is our strategy towards syria if we're going to strike syria. there's no question in my mind

that bashar al-assad can withstand a strike. what we trying to do with the strike? are we sending a message or do we have a sense of where we want syria to go what our interests are. it seems to me that you can do a military attack very easily, but the real question is what is your desired effect. having a desired effect requires not just the strike but a strategy and a follow-up and a goal. i'm not sure that all of those pieces have been line up yet. >> shepard: there's seven or seven wars going on in syria at one time if you ferret it out and count them. if we had a cohesive and strategy in syria from the very beginning of this, crossing over two administrations, nobody has ever given us what it is. we're said to be supporting the syrian rebels who have been nameless and faceless and we have not said that we want regime change or that we want to

stop the air force or we want to make it impossible to launch chemical strikes. we haven't said anything. >> point of fact, we're said we're there to fight isis. when the president says isis gone, we're gone. all the things you're talking about with the syrian government have not been the focus of the american strategy. it's not clear what the legal basis of a big american push towards regime change or affecting the power in syria. all of those things, congress hasn't authorized it. i think the government -- neither the obama administration or the trump administration has really articulated a strategy. i don't think they have come up with an internal strategy. to my mind, this is one of our weaknesses in syria. we have been sure what we're not doing. we haven't been clear at all on what we're trying to do and what our desired end state is. a horrible thing is to put your military at risk and to put

soldiers at risk when you're not being clear what are they trying to accomplish. we can kill and destroy stuff like nobody else in the world. but it has to be toward a purpose. that requires having a strategy and a set of goals. i'm not sure we've ever been there in our actions in syria. >> shepard: before we go, there's a -- john kirby, who was a rear admiral and a spokesperson from the state department from 15 to 17, a guest on this program countless times, works at cnn, but he sent out a tweet about the president's telegraphing in a way he said he wouldn't. john kirby said this. there's a lot not to like about the commander-in-chief tweeting details. what bothers me is the cavalier way he spokes about the use of force. it's not a video game. lives are at stake here. was the president giving

historical norms outs of bounds here? >> again, there's no question that we can strike things, we can destroy things. the real question is what is our purpose. how does it fit in. how does the strike fit in to a broader set of actions that get you where you want to go. i understand this is certain novelty in being able to launch the strike. you have to do it for a purpose. it has to be part of a series of actions. i don't think either the obama administration or the trump administration has been clear enough to itself let alone to the american public what the series of actions is and what the intended outcome is. >> shepard: john alterman from the center for strategic and international studies. thanks so much. i appreciate it. >> good to be with you. >> shepard: the tension over syria is affecting its neighbor in israel. a new report that the russian president vladimir putin gave a message for his israeli counterpart. the message is stand down and don't make any more moves in

syria. from russia to israel. word of a new iranian threat on the israelis. we're waiting for the press briefing said to start in a few minutes. ar foremothers, your society was led by a woman, who governed thousands... commanded armies... yielded to no one. when i found you in my dna, i learned where my strength comes from. my name is courtney mckinney, and this is my ancestrydna story. now with 5 times more detail than other dna tests. order your kit at ancestrydna.com you might or joints.hinge detaifor your heart...tests. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember.

>> shepard: there's word that tehran is threatening jerusalem after israel's strike in syria earlier this week after the strike killed several iranians. israel is considered our strongest ally in the middle

east. mike tobin is live in jerusalem. mike? >> there's threats as you mentioned coming from leaders in tehran and israel is taking those threats seriously. the jewish state today had consultations with top members of the security council today. israeli armor is always present on the northern border but today is no exception. the heavy equipment was on the move at times. specifically the threat had to do on the t-4 base near holmes. israel has not claimed the strike but it's widely reported that israeli aircraft were responsible. 14 were killed. iran says eight of theirs. the iranians say this strike will not remain without response. top israelis do not believe the government of assad would strike the israelis but iran is another thing. also, just a short time ago,

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu made a statement. he said don't test the resilience of the israeli people. he also had a phone conversation with russian president vladimir putin in which putin told netanyahu to respect the sovereignty of syria. netanyahu said that israel will never allow iranians to base in syria. shep, back to you. >> mike tobin live in jerusalem. one republican calling it a titanic shift. the house speaker paul ryan is not running for re-election. >> i'm announcing that this year is my last one as a member of the house. >> shepard: what does that mean for the mid-terms? the gop's chances of hanging on to the house? what does that mean for big republican donors? that's ahead as we wait for the white house briefing. remember what had the speakership prior to paul ryan?

remember who that was? john boehner. remember him? google it.

reluctantly after john boehner retired. his colleagues had to talk him into it. even today, paul ryan said it was a job he took reluctantly but has no regrets. he says he is confident he will turn it over to another republican after the mid-terms, but the open number of republicans leaving the house is growing. 39 house republicans are retiring or running for something else. for house democrats, 18. the chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. mike, he says this has nothing to do with president trump and the current situation in the country. >> shep, you're correct. a source familiar says paul ryan was considering running for another term in february but the final decision was made with his wife over easter recess. speaker ryan insists his relationship with president trump is solid. >> we spend a great deal of time with each other. i'm having dinner with him tonight. we spoke constantly. we developed good friendship, a

good rapport. he gave us with his victory the ability to get all this work done. i'm very excited about that. >> in terms of likely successor, kevin mccarthy and steve scalise are two of course options. so far their focus is working on the agenda. many say ryan should leave on his own terms. >> i'd rather paul finish out his term as speaker than go through the ordeal of selecting another speaker. remember what happened last time. took awhile. it would be better to keep paul in. >> ryan notes senator harry reid was able to announce his expected retirement and remain in power. he intends to do this same. >> shepard: you wonder the intrigue here. you have six months or so. there's either going to be this internal back and forth, because that will happen or they'll come up with something or be a lot of pressure for him to step down. what is the thinking on that now? >> it would not be surprised at

dinner tonight with the president whether they talk about a succession plan. maybe that's away to avoid a fight over who would be the next leader. so that will be something to watch in terms of what democrats are saying. at this stage, they're praguesing paul ryan. even nancy pelosi said did spite our differences, democrats are hopeful that he joins us to work with us constructively. the senate democratic leader offered this tribute earlier today. >> speaker ryan is a good man. he's always true to his word. even though we disagreed on most issues, in the areas where we could work together i found him to be smart, thoughtful and straightforward. i found him to have a great deal of integrity. >> that is quite a tribute when you consider how polarized washington is these days. >> shepard: thanks, mike. you'll be busy.

caitlin owens is here. she broke the news that speaker ryan is retiring. and mike allen from axios is reporting that one republican is saying this is enormous for republicans. explain why. >> first of all, paul ryan. he was the vice president's nominee in 2012. he's the speaker now. he is an extremely good fund raiser for the party. then there's the -- >> shepard: he turned over more than $40 million to the republicans. >> right. this is a big deal for the party. this is a figure head. that has been largely successful at least in terms of fund-raising, in terms of party morale, support. it's a big deal he's leaving. >> shepard: is there anything from big republican donors on how this could affect their big dollar donations? >> that's still to be seen. paul ryan will stay on as

speaker until november. that's questionable. >> shepard: what do you think about that? if you wait that long, a lot can happen. or they can take another route and say, all right, we're going to expedite this and move to the next generation now. >> right. i think that the bottom line is, you know, from what people are saying, he couldn't announce that he was going to keep his speakership. >> shepard: why do you need to make any announcement today in the middle of all of this. why today? has anyone gotten to that? >> you know, i think that it -- he made the decision recently. as we heard, he thought about it over easter. >> shepard: it's the day on which the president announced to the russians that the missiles are on the way and the day after the president of the united states lawyer was raided in three different segments. by many accounts, he's

considering firing rod rosenstein and there's a war going on and republicans are dropping left and right and all of a sudden speaker ryan is out. sometimes timing is just a nothing burger, a nothing. i don't remember it. sometimes it's not. >> you know, i think that while i agree, it's a busy news day. i think we've had a lot of busy news days lately. the best i can do on that one. >> shepard: all right. is there a sense on kevin mccarthy and whether the president may come forward with an endorsement? steve scalise is a very popular guy and has been for a long time. it's really two different ways of going though. >> right. right. those are two main contenders. kevin mccarthy. if you remember in 2015, he was running for speaker when boehner stepped down. he couldn't get there. he's had a great relationship with the president. president trump refers to him as my kevin. we've seen that flourish over the past year. so he has a good shot of getting to 18.

steve scalise is a growing star in the party. he went from getting shot to being he's back and he's really popular. he was -- he's known as a conservative and also gets along well with the president. the president likes him. scalise has said that if mccarthy wants it, he won't challenge him. so right now we're waiting to see what kevin mccarthy will do. >> shepard: caitlin owens for action yes. i have to with you two questions. john boehner. >> i am -- i bet he's not regretting his decision to retire. >> shepard: i meant now he's going to work for the weed industry. >> oh, right. >> shepard: he says he's never puff puff passed but sounds like the money was calling. >> it does sound like that. seems like -- it's an interesting turn of event. >> shepard: his position on marijuana has evolved. >> yes. >> shepard: half passed the

hour. president trump says attorney client privilege is dead after the raid on his office. ahead, we'll seek with the lawyer who says the president is 100% wrong and why the privilege only goes so far. like if a lawyer and a client were to get together and commit a crime together. it wouldn't be there then. and why he says more firings and pardons could be around the corner. the investigation into team trip likely a topic of the press briefing 75 seconds ago. it's been pushed to 3:45 eastern time. so minutes away. we'll take you there. well befores i'm in the kitchen. i need my blood sugar to stay in control. i need to shave my a1c i'm always on call. an insulin that fits my schedule is key. ♪ tresiba® ready ♪ (announcer) tresiba® is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. don't use tresiba® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.

>> live look at the white house briefing room. sarah sanders is set to talk to reporters in minutes from now. we're expecting questions about the russian investigation and whether president trump plans to fire robert mueller or the

deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. the president took aim at both of them this morning. he tweeted -- mueller is most conflict of all except rosenstein who signed fisa and comey letter. no collusion, so they go crazy. mueller and rosenstein are registered republicans. the republicans hold the senate and the house and lead the investigation. some gop lawmakers are saying don't fire the special counsel. a bipartisan group of senators pushing a bill right now that could protect robert mueller. if you get alerts from the "wall street journal" and said the senate judiciary committee is taking up a bill to protect robert mueller from being dismissed without cause. one of those pushing this

lindsey graham said it would be catastrophic if president trump fired bob mueller. senator graham says he doesn't think the president will do so. monday, president trump's attorney had his offices raided. agents were looking for information related to president trump's access hollywood recording. more on that in a moment. john roberts is live on the north lawn. good afternoon. >> multiple sources that the president is not likely going to fire robert mueller. he's thought about this in the past. he's always been talked out of it. many people are saying it would be political suicide to do that and bring a world of hurt down on his head. look to what corey gardner said on that front earlier today. >> i think it would be a mistake, a grave mistake by the president to fire robert mueller. i have no belief that he will.

conversations that i've heard would lead me to believe he's not going to do that. >> the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and jeff sessions may be another matter. the president has scorned rosenstein several times including recently earlier this week. the president said rosenstein has huge conflicts of interest pointing out that he signed the fisa warrant that kicked off this whole russia investigation but then he drafted that memo that justified the firing of james comey. the president also with renewed theory for jeff sessions who he blames for the whole mueller investigation by recusing himself. the president saying the other day that he reiterated that had he known jeff sessions would have done that, he never would have appointed him to be the attorney general. a lot of people are saying that sessions had no choice in this case. that he had to recuse himself and that the president is ignoring reality when he heaped

scorn on jeff sessions the way he has. shep? >> shepard: there's another shakeup in the president's national security team, john. >> yes, the deputy national security adviser for strategy, nadia shadla. she tendered her resignation yesterday. it's effective on april 22. a note from the white house going out to thank her for her service. raj shah says the president thanks for her service and preserving peace. with wish nadia and her family the best. this is the third departure from the national security council in the last few days. you have shadla leaving on the 27th, tom bossert tendered his resignation and over the weekend, michael anton tendered

his resignation. he had a previous job. it's not like this is part of a housecleaning by john bolton. shep? >> shepard: john with a tweet on that matter if you're interested. let's go to jeffery cramer now, a former federal prosecutor. managing director at berkeley research group. good to see you. >> afternoon. >> we spoke last week. in your estimation, where is the president now as it relates to this investigation and were he to -- it's reported that he's going to fire rod rosenstein and what? >> we're getting close to some decisions by the white house. the frequency of tweets is coming quicker. >> shepard: it wasn't until a couple weeks ago that he had ever even used either of their names when talking about his displeasure with this investigation. now that's all we hear.

>> exactly. he was circumspect, which is odd for this white house. we've seen a plethora of communications going out. it's amped up paced upon mueller and the southern district of new york's activities. when they went in with a search warrant to his personal attorney's offices, that clearly struck a nerve. the process by which that happened, there's many checks and balances that need to be done. so in one did this flippantly. they made sure they had their is dotted and ts crossed before they went to the door. >> shepard: and preet barar was sent to the door by the president and a member of the julie guliani team that just recused himself and said no, go right ahead to all of those manhattan regarding the beginning of this investigation as it relates to the president's

fixer and now we know that they're also looking for information according to the reporting of "the new york times" regarding the access hollywood video. what might that mean? >> a couple things first. you indicated before, there's republicans at every stage. the interim u.s. attorney is a republican. he was appointed by the president, recused himself properly. then this request had to go to main justice. nobody will do this without the attorney general, a republican, being aware of it. then it gets to a court that looks at it again. i think to your question as to what they're looking for, it seems to be the focus is on preelection activities by the president that could impact election and campaign finance laws. so mueller correctly handed it off to the u.s. attorney's office because it probably is outside his purview. now you have an attorney looking dead scare into a regulatory violation. nothing like manafort is looking at with a 15 years in prison by

any stretch of the imagination but nevertheless, no attorney wants to be square in the headlights of a u.s. attorney's office. >> shepard: no doubt. jeffery cramer, thanks again. the white house press briefing scheduled to begin after this. was my warfarin treatment right for me? my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots... eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines.

tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. are made with smarttrack®igners material to precisely move your teeth to your best smile. see how invisalign® treatment can shape your smile up to 50% faster today at invisalign.com miracle-gro guarantees results >> vo: these neighbors are starting right. with rich potting mix and essential plant food

>> shepard: continuing coverage of breaking news on fox news channel. this is a live look. that is not the attorney general jeff sessions. he will be there in just a moment where he will speak about immigration policy. we're monitoring that. jeff sessions is in the president's cross hairs today as previously reported. in addition, the california governor, jerry brown has just announced that he will be sending 400 national guard troops at president trump's request but not for immigration enforcement, which is obvious because the national guard cannot enforce immigration, cannot make arrests or check documents, cannot do -- some sort of support that we haven't

gotten defined. the senate judiciary committee is about to introduce a bill that -- a bipartisan bill that if passed would protect the job of bob mueller. it's widely expected not to pass. we can confirm that they're actually doing that. jeff sessions has stepped to the microphone in los cruces and has begun speaking. stocks dropping as tensions grow between the united states and russia over the situation in syria. the russians have said they will retaliate. the dow is down 193 points. there's been questions about whether it might drop when the fed minutes were released saying that the upward slant-in interest rates might be more precipitous than previously been announced. a little blip and didn't affect much of anything. gerri willis is here. it's talk of the warring

activities. >> the sable rattlings is rattling stocks. gold, oil, everything in the cross hairs. we thought stocks would come in 244 points down. it wasn't that bad. we got good news on tech stocks. investors like what mark zuckerberg had to say. as we got more headlines with syria, what's going on with russia, again, we had more of a sell-off. now as you just saw, the dow jones industrial average down about 199 points. so obviously impacting markets. oil is higher because whenever -- >> shepard: highest i've seen in a long time. >> in 3 1/2 years. why? whenever you have trouble in that region, the worry is that people can't deliver oil. so every drop is more precious. and gold, safe haven. people playing into that as well. lots of concerns in the marketplace today. let me tell you, there's a market that is whip sawed by every headline. >> gerri, thanks.

we'll get to the news briefing as it begins. mark zuckerberg said he was among the 87 million or more users whose personal information was compromised in the cambridge analytica scandal. more ahead from his second day of testimony on capitol hill. it's been different than yesterday. that's for sure. we're waiting to the white house briefing. i keep saying that over and over again. we'll take you there. stle text . i'm your phone, stuck down here between your seat and your console, playing a little hide-n-seek. cold... warmer... warmer... ah boiling. jackpot. and if you've got cut-rate car insurance, you could be picking up these charges yourself. so get allstate, where agents help keep you protected from mayhem... ...like me. mayhem is everywhere. are you in good hands?

>> shepard: rougher day. the facebook ceo says a british data company lifted his own personal information when they took data from millions and millions facebook users. mark zuckerberg testified for about five hours today and about five hours yesterday. today zuckerberg said he thinks it's inevitable that lawmakers

will have to start regulating the social media industry. >> the internet is growing in importance around the world. in people's lives. it's inevitable there will need to be some regulation. so i think that you have to be careful about what regulation you put in place. >> shepard: yeah, that's mark zuckerberg obviously. republicans and democrats have thrown about different regulations after russia's use of social media. peter doocy is monitoring this on capitol hill. a different tone at times, peter. >> right, shep. zuckerberg kept defending some of the mistakes that had been made at facebook saying that a lot of things he couldn't have seen coming when he started the social network from his dorm room at harvard. the one thing he didn't see is becoming one of the 87 million

facebook user whose data was improperly obtained and used by cambridge analytica. >> was your data sold to the malicious third party? >> yes. most of the two days were just zuckerberg explaining to lawmakers how facebook works, how they make money, how they have to track users for certain things, whether it's selling ads or ensuring safety. many lawmakers were learning about how facebook works for the first time. >> shepard: some of the lawmakers saying they want more from zuckerberg? >> right. especially because they were not satisfied with the things that he was saying here on the house side of capitol hill because they had a chance to watch him on the senate side when he promised quick changes.

apparently there's not been quick changes. >> you did not know how many other firms had been sold data other than cambridge analytica and anoya technologies. even though you were asked that question yesterday. yes, we were all paying attention yesterday. you don't even know all the kinds of information facebook is collecting from its own users. >> zuckerberg finished, heckled and now he's in a car on his way back. >> shepard: thanks. the top of the hour headlines coming. >> tech: at safelite autoglass
