1:01 pm
attack. >> it is clear to everyone that the syrian people have suffered too long. >> way got the heart of that program. i nothing and they will not be able to reconstitute it. i will not say it will continue but this is a serious blow. >> last night while addressing nation, the president called on tehran and moscow. >> i will have a message night for the two governments most responsible for supporting, equipping and financing the criminal assad regime. to iran and russia i ask, what kind of a nation wants to be associated with the mass murder of innocent men, women and children?>> we have got a fox news team covered all of this.
1:02 pm
john roberts is live at the white house but first, our national security correspondent, jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon. >> investor nikki haley during a meeting today, the us military is quote - locked and loaded to strike again if aside -- assad uses chemical weapons again. again. >> we have attacked the heart of the syrian chemical weapons program. i'm not saying that not be able to reconstitute it.i'm not saying it will continue. this is a very serious blow. >> if the regime has a pattern of using chemical weapons against his own people, against the chemical weapons convention, despite the fact that they had agreed to it, despite the fact that the russians were there guarantors. what happens next? it is with the assad regime decides to do. >> less than 105 missiles fired by three nations was double the
1:03 pm
size of the strike to punish the use of chemical weapons one year ago. the uss monterey is seen here hiring tomahawk missiles from the sea. cost about $100 million each and can fly a distance of 1500 miles. british tornado and typhoon jets took part in the air campaign and as fox reported last may, two usb -- us b-1 bombers. in damascus this was one of the three targets chosen by the allies that received 76 missiles in total. including 57, hawks which leveled three buildings. >> right now this is a one time shot and i believe that it is sent a very strong message to dissuade him to deter him from doing this again important infrastructure was destroyed which is a setback. i will lou's years of setback.
1:04 pm
-- >> the us intelligence has only concluded at this time that chlorine was used in the chemical attack. they suspect sarin but you have proof yet and the vice president spoke once ago. the question now which the pentagon cannot answer is, the use of chlorine bombs in syria. a new redline for the us and its allies. >> thank you jennifer. kelly? >> we just heard jennifer talk about the vice president. he is calling the us lead airstrikes on syria morally correct. he is speaking to reporters telling them the president carefully considered the move before making it. and you heard right here live at the toothy in our of "america's news headquarters". >> anytime the commander-in-chief puts forces in harm's way we consider every potential response. >> carefully examine the responsibility of a response by
1:05 pm
syria or by its allies, russia and iran in its calculation and the president made the decision to target chemical weapons facilities having counted all the cost and potential of the decisions. >> john roberts is live in the white house with the very latest on the story. latest on the story. >> good afternoon. the president is at work here. he is working the phones talking with the uk prime minister, theresa may. as well as the french president, emmanuel macron. the white house readout of the phone calls came on my email about two minutes ago. the three leaders agree that the attacks are successful and necessary to deter assad from further use of chemical weapons be the president this morning in a tweet praising his allies as well as the men and women of the military sang a perfectly executed strike last night. thank you to the france and united kingdom from their
1:06 pm
wisdom and power of their fine military could not have had a better result. mission accomplished. now the instruments words of george bush. the national security council this afternoon so they have a large volume of clear and compelling evidence that syria did in fact use chemical weapons in dumas last weekend. some contradicting what we just heard jennifer griffin say that pentagon officials are saying the vice president, the nsc is saying that sarin gas was used for much of the evidence that they are pegging this to his documentary evidence video and photographs and victims showing obvious signs of asphyxiation also forming at the mouth and something called meiosis, that is when the people's contract to the point where they become little pinpoints.those are hallmark symptoms of sarin gas poison. the nsc says the barrel bombs that were used to deliver the gas and there were some that were still intact are very similar to previous poison gas attacks in syria that have been
1:07 pm
used in the last year since the attack against -- in which 200 people were killed resulting the first us airstrike back on the seventh of april of last year. the vice president, mike pence, traveling in lima. he hopes that last nice strike will change the behavior, not only syria but russia and iran as well. >> it is time for russia to get the message that president trump delivered last night. that you are known by the company you keep. denying on the world stage, offering resolutions that were properly rejected at the un security council a few hours ago. it is not a pathway toward a better relationship with the united states of america and
1:08 pm
the world. you are on the wrong side of history especially not surprisingly has individually to the foreign minister calling the attack by us britain and france absolutely illegal, unacceptable. president vladimir putin denouncing what he called an act of aggression against the sovereign state committed with out a mandate from the security council in violation of the un charter and norms and principles of international law for the note that vladimir putin called it an act of aggression which it clearly was. anytime you send missiles. but one other note, officials here at the national security council are flagging. that is they say that the russian antimissile defense system was active and operative last night but did not fire. so the idea that russia has created an impenetrable air defense system in syria really know has been disproved.
1:09 pm
>> in another footnote to last night's attack and of course, the president of the united states going on to say that they are morally right to take out this, these chemical weapons. john roberts, thank you. >> earlier on "america's news headquarters" the former us ambassador to syria had this reaction to the strikes. >> i think it is important to the syrian president, -, descended very clear and blunt message that the united states will not accept his using chemical weapons with impunity. it was overdue and i was very glad to see it. >> judith miller, adjunct fellow -- also put a winning author and journalist. she has traveled to syria any times in the past for judy miller, let me ask you because you're such rich experience in you're such rich experience in the region and area.
1:10 pm
do you agree with the former ambassadors take on the seriousness of the message sent with last night strike? >> i absolutely agree. he left the administration in part because he wanted tougher policy towards syria and greater involvement in america and syria. i think that what struck me about the missile strike last night was its targeted limited but absolutely precise objective in terms of what it wanted to accomplish. and that is reestablishing the redline for the norm against the use of chemical weapons or any weapons of mass destruction in the middle east or anywhere. we have seen a steady erosion of that norm over time as the syrians have begun to ramp up their capabilities again. sending that message was absolutely crucial and i think it is well in time. >> speaking of redlines vacancies at present has almost impossible but fairly difficult dance he must do around the redline we speak about making
1:11 pm
clear that the united states and the rest of the world will not stand for the chemical weapons. also, not further aggravating an already tense, some are calling as an icy relationship when it comes to russia and iran. they focus, the laser focus if you, surgical precision in which these missiles were executed. i also had the best president speak about sustaining effort. i'm asking you, if we sustain it and we have to do it again and again with this leader to drive home the message, can be maintained by hyper precision or is it inevitable at some point that this will lead into some russian targets? >> i think the goal of the strike last night was to make sure we do not have to do this again. because it was clear the president and vice president today, they blame for forced use of this course. directly at iran and russia.
1:12 pm
assad, is not breed without consent from russia and israel. they think that they have every reason the administration think of every reason to do this because this is the downside of last night. it did not go to the heart of our problem. which is the iranians and russians are now on the ground. two bases in syria and the iranians also call the shots. we have no long-term strategy for changing that situation on the ground. that is the administration the next challenge. >> let's pivot a bit judy and talk about that as you say, the redline around chemical weapons i think is crystal clear. we heard the ambassador while ago, there was another former syrian ambassadors that spoke earlier on the program were on the network i should say. and he made the point that by
1:13 pm
being so focused around the chemical weapons component, they might be sending the region a message to say, have a field day killing all people. however you want to. as long as you do not use the chemical weapons. what is your response to that? >> he is extremely shrewd observer of the middle east. he knows it very well. but i think that i have low expectations when he does for what the united states can accomplish. think president trump instinct tells him there's only a limited amount that he can accomplish. he's afraid of getting drawn into syria the way we were drawn into iraq. on the other hand i think the current situation where russia and iran and the worst of the worst are calling the shots is also -- but i was encouraged by the presence illusion last night to the use of not only military force but economic and diplomatic steps that lay ahead and that is where the united states now must put its
1:14 pm
capital, it must figure out a strategy use of economic in terms of sanctions and incentives can also diplomatic talks. collaborative, this problem, he is right. this cannot be solved through military force alone. but without military force, it cannot be solved at all. >> judy miller, thank you for that. kelly? >> thank you. the president joining forces with the uk and france to strike syria. but not all us lawmakers are on board with the decision. saying congress should have been included in the conversation. our panel is in to discuss the political implications and what it could all mean ahead of the midterms. plus, worldwide reaction pouring and following the us-led assault on syria. including condemnation from russia at the un security council pier 1 moscow tried and failed to do at the un during the meeting earlier.

1:19 pm
allies. early today un security council rejecting a russian resolution calling for condemnation of the aggression by the us, france and the uk ps ambassador to the un, nikki haley on moscow. >> the security council has failed in its duty to hold those who use chemical weapons to account. that failure is largely due to russian obstruction. >> laura ingram is live the un right now. much more than what is the latest? >> this meeting called by russia happened around 8:00 just after 8:00 a.m. local time. things move very quickly from there. of course, everyone called here to discuss what happened with last night writes on serious chemical weapons infrastructure. things got tense regular. let's look inside from earlier today and right off the bat during the speech un ambassador from russia said he would be introducing a resolution which condemns what it says is the
1:20 pm
aggression against the syrian air republic and international law violation. resolution also demanded that the us and allies immediately without delay sees aggression against sergei skripal the russian ambassador claimed evidence of last weekend chemical attack in douma was fabricated and blamed foreign intelligence. >> the us and allies continue to show blatant disregard for international if it is shameful to your having justifying the aggression in article of the u.s. constitution was mentioned. >> not did not go on. speaking immediately at the russians nikki haley said the us and its allies did get diplomacy a chance and pointed to the fix vetoes against chemical weapon resolutions on
1:21 pm
syria. this severe stress was justified, legitimate and proportionate. >> i spoke to the president this morning. he said if the syrian regime uses poisonous gas again, united states is locked and loaded. when our president draws a redline, he enforces the redline. after today's meeting the french ambassador indicated that the allies will be getting together and working on a new resolution that will work to deal with all the ongoing issues in syria including chemicals inspections. and on a side note i would like to set also the security council including russia will be going to sweden next friday for a working retreat. all of this will be discussed in sweden in the coming weeks. >> is certainly have a time to discuss thank you. a quick programming note today. tomorrow on "fox news sunday",
1:22 pm
chris wallace will have an exclusive interview with nikki haley predicting cancer here on fox news channel. check local listings for times. >> no amount of american blood or treasure can produce lasting peace and security in the middle east. it is a troubled place. we will try to make it better but it is a troubled place. the united states will be a partner and a friend but the fate of the region lies in the hands of its own people. >> very important words in the present was attending a conflict in the middle east. he previously said he wanted to get the us military out of syria but he is also making it very clear that america will respond to anymore chemical attacks by the syrian government. nancy pelosi issuing a statement shortly after the bombing last night saying that the president should have come to congress first. congressman adam smith backing the claims. >> i think it will be much
1:23 pm
better off if the president came to congress and asked for the authority. syria did not threaten the us is something congress should have to approve. >> the spring in the panel. mr. singleton, dave brown, former senior advisor intimate counsel to senator murray. he is also a democratic strategist. thank you for joining us right now. when i look at all of this and i hear the blowback from members of congress, the president, was he within his right to actually take a military strike, joint military strike along with the uk and france to take up the chemical weapons manufacturing facilities of assad? >> it was actually within his right. i think as a nation, we have made it very clear where we stand on these types of barbaric acts. i like to know back in 2015 it
1:24 pm
was the washington times that noted that president obama had approved 2800 strategic strikes and that was in syria and iraq without congressional approval. that was with growth and expansion. if you look at previous administration there was reason for this. i do think the president wants to increase that if you will and he should go to the people that the american people voted to represent them but at this point in time i don't think you know congress likes a debate but sometimes they debate and debate and debate. when something needs to be done. in this particular case the president just went ahead and made a decision according to his constitutional right. >> i agree on this. i think the president was correct to act. i think the civilized nations cannot, should not and must not allow countries such as syria
1:25 pm
to use weapons of mass destruction on innocent civilians. the president was correct to act in a do think the strike last night which was of course with our allies, the united kingdom and france was proportionate and measured. i think this underscores a broader issue. this is a white house that is in chaos in terms of a strategy for syria. they do not have one. and also, the strategy, the broader strategy of the middle east. it is incumbent upon this president to articulate what that strategy is. he has been erratic today. last year he issued an order to file missiles with obvious little effect to execute a strike against siblings two days ago or earlier this week. and as recently as 48 hours ago he was saying that he wants to put the combat troops out of syria. but of course we saw escalation last night. -- >> keep in mind the president of united states, he sees
1:26 pm
intelligence or reacts to situations that leave the american people, we are not always to privy to. >> if i could just respond. i do not think the obama administration had a clear direct strategy. they relied more so on soft power and it was overwhelmingly negative.now when president trump has to address many of the issues that i think have grown and expanded because of the lack of direction and clear guidance from the obama administration. quickly jumping quickly because you bring up an issue that let's go back to 2013. and the fact that in 2014, then secretary of state john kerry said, russia has dispensed chemical weapons from assad. they are destroyed now. low and behold here it is happening again. so to this point, what does the
1:27 pm
ministration have to do in dealing with the activities of this madman that has been called a monster killing his own people with chemical weapons? >> i appreciate you raising this. it is important to remember that then president obama went to congress and he asked for congressional authorization to strike syria. congress refused to do that. 100 house republicans signed a letter telling him he could not act without their consent. we are in a bit of an ironic situation and now of course, the president has been exactly what republicans of president obama he could not do. to the broader point, you're correct to frame this in the context of russia. it would be a mistake for the us or allies to approach syria not thinking about any action we have taken in the context of what this means for iran and russia. that has got to be a strategic paradigm to which we approach this. >> we have to end this there. thank you both for your perspectives on the spirit will continue to follow developments of the story. it seems like it might be around for a while. >> the president making it
1:28 pm
crystal clear the us will strike syria again if necessary. is the military ready that that is to happen? we'll talk about that with lieutenant colonel dale davis. a retired member of the u.s. army. plus, a closer look at the global reaction from the airstrikes in syria. and the pentagon calls this a success. >> you're still conducting more detailed damage assessment but if initial indications are the meek accomplish objectives without material interference on syria. i use three words to describe his operation. precise, overwhelming and effective.

1:33 pm
jerusalem with more details. good to see you mike. >> good to see you kelly. we have some of the first independent satellite images of one of the targets. this is a target in the area in greater damascus. the image coming to us from an organization called -- the location was described by general joseph dunford at the -- the before pictures were taken in 2013. the after pictures are from today. the images appear to show the three main buildings flattened by the strike. that is supported by images coming of damascus. the ambassador to the united nations says that prevention of chemical weapons, they been in the area and claims it was not used for research and development of chemical weapons. >> the government of these countries if they knew the actual location of these production centers they plan to have bombed if they knew about them why didn't they share the
1:34 pm
information with -- why didn't they share this information with the mission and damascus before attacking my country? >> shortly after the strikes supporters of the assad regime took to the streets and gathered in damascus. one man shouted, we humiliated their missiles echoing this claim from state t.v. and others that the missiles were intercepted. the pentagon says that is not true. still they waived plans and how points of this is the syrian government says they have holes on the last holdout of the contractors forces and specifically in douma. and a russian general today so they are not considering selling s-300 air defence systems to the syrian army which is more sophisticated surface to air defense than what they currently employ. >> thank you mike. >> for this will go to retired
1:35 pm
army lieutenant colonel danielle davis. he is also senior fellow and military expert at defense priority. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having to request thing of the mission here was a complete success by all of their measures. also had recent budgets for ministration and congress that will report many more dollars, billions more into the united states military and armed forces. do you think that those dollars are paying off what we are seeing in this situation? >> in anything right now happening funded long ago but even before these, the rise in defense funding, it is clear that although by our standards, our readiness may have suffered some but certainly, in comparison to the rest of the world there is no question at all about who has the military
1:36 pm
superiority. if there is any kind of military readiness issues because we used it too many times and many to many years in the middle east on other issues and measures that may not really relate well to defending the national security interests. so there is no doubt and no question at all about our capability and if the money is used well, we increase the budget then it will only get stronger. >> lieutenant colonel, let me ask you as it relates to the geopolitical impact. gently we know nothing in this day and age in this. in this particular airstrikes it was only around the syrian chemical weapons, anticipated reaction from russia and iran would be reasonable. when it comes to us military readiness he did were also ready to take on possible confrontation from russia and particularly iran? >> that would be disastrous for our self interest. which is why i was so supportive last week of the presidents decision to redeploy
1:37 pm
our forces from syria. because those very few troops over there, there is not enough to even have a chance to impact anything on a strategic level. but they do adopt enormous risk because you have iranians, al qaeda, even possibly running into war against their own nato ally. what we need to do is take care of our interest first and i think that we need to redeploy our troops out of there and maintain robust visibility of the area so that no threat to our country ever materializes from there. we do not need troops on the ground to protect us here. >> a quick question bring up the other allies. our friends in israel who are much closer to the proximity of the chaos in the region. what is your reaction to the impact possibly on them? >> i do not think that there will be time assuming no in negative impact because israel is very strong and there has
1:38 pm
never been any doubt that they will absolutely take care of any of their own self defense needs. anytime they feel threatened as we saw last week when they attacked the airbase there. and did some other things to shoot down iranian drones before that. they will not hesitate to defend themselves. i do not think they would be affected, certainly not negatively in the least by this. >> we appreciate that lieutenant colonel daniel davis. >> my pleasure. >> and meanwhile theresa may is saying that the west has tried every possible diplomatic means to stop assad. his reaction from the nato secretary-general. >> if we have just been silenced and accepted the use of chemical weapons, it will have undermined the efforts to find a political solution. we strongly expressed support for a political process.there is no military solution to the conflict in syria but the same
1:39 pm
time, i think it really is dangerous that the international community accepts use of chemical weapons. >> we have more from london now. greg, joaquin tells about the story? >> it was actually crucial that this operation be seen as an ally effort and in fact, today in a tweet the president thanked france and the uk for the wisdom and power of the fine military. it was french jet fighters and a friendship that launched some of the missiles that targeted the syrian chemical weapons facilities. today, the first president emmanuel macron colonies of chemical weapons by syria a quote - total violation of international law. the british jet fighters also in the sky targeting syria. the prime minister theresa may also tying in the use of chemical weapons in syria to the poisoning allegedly by
1:40 pm
russia of an ex-russian spy and his daughter here in the uk. this is more of what the prime minister had to say. >> we cannot allow use of chemical weapons to become normalized. either within syria, in the uk or elsewhere. we must reinstate the global consensus that chemical weapons cannot be used. >> russia and president vladimir putin for their part they call the operation in their own words, a blatant disregard of international law. but it was noticeable and notable that while the missiles were raining down on various locations in syria, russia kept its missile defenses in check. finally today we saw a video treatment of defiance from the office of syrian leader assad seeming to show him go to work as if nothing happened today. fox news was one of the first to get him to admit that he had chemical weapons and that he
1:41 pm
was going to get rid of them. five years and a lot of chemical attacks later, he still has a terrible saga. >> yes indeed. thank you craig. >> arizona guardsmen now deployed to beef up security along the southern border. a closer look at how they are preparing for the mission. plus, newly released reports from the just department watchdogs. more information about the firing of the former fbi deputy director, andrew mccabe. what they are learning now about his dismissal. and your ancestor was a fisherman. with blue eyes. just like you. begin your journey at ancestry.com i'm mark and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried, um, cold turkey. i tried the patches. i was tired and i was fed up. i wanted to try something different. for me, chantix really worked. along with support, chantix (varenicline)

leaks to the press regarding the investigation into hillary clinton. here is part of the report. we concluded that his decision to confirm the existence of the cf clinton foundation investigation through an anonymous source quote - in a manner designed to advance his personal interest at the expense of department leadership was clearly not within the public interest. of course, this comes as james comey is making headlines when he is revealing in a new book. when we know we have a formal defense attorney also a former federal attorney. on the surface and the face of this, this is really something that you kinda scratch your head and say what was going on in the upper echelon of the fbi? what is your take on this? >> exactly. i agree with you especially when the statements came after he was terminated which said he is being unfairly vilified. the man deserves all of our respect. now they are at odds with recollections of what was in
1:47 pm
the report and mccabe's team has come out and said james comey is completely wrong on this. the terms of the take away think it is important for viewers to understand that this highlights the friction between certain lawmakers and the justice department. and as we see the investigations ongoing the lawmakers are calling for more transparency. we are seeing blatant conflict of interest, obvious lies in you after mccabe's interview by three different committee had last december, it stopped. so this ig report is part of a larger portion of a report expected in may for potential misconduct of the fbi and doj prior to the 2016 elections. stay tuned for the rest of the report might show. >> this ig was appointed during the obama administration. he comes up with this independent report on andrew mccabe.and i want to read something from our sister organization, the wall street journal.
1:48 pm
it says for a man who claims to be all about the bureau, perhaps the ig must damning line is the one naming that no other senior fbi official corroborated his testimony that among fbi executive leadership, people knew that generally, he had authorized disclosures. he was leaking information to the media at his pleasure it seems. at least that is what he is accused of doing. >> exactly. and it is so fascinating that just a month ago, he came out and said i wanted the public to know that the fbi does not bow to political pressure. i did it, i was involved in that and it was important for me to let the public know that we stand proud and tall and are immune from the pier but the ig report conduct says what you just stated it is serving his self interest. which is worse? they are equally culpable. they're both not serving the public if we have half of the fbi serving political pressure and have serving themselves.
1:49 pm
again, where is the transparency that no lawmakers are calling for? so we can be assured that the investigation going on behind the scenes are -- >> how would you fight this as an attorney? >> he needs to fight it with least amount of statements as possible. they depending on what happens with his book tour and interview there will be a lot of statements that come forth. and what is particularly damning in the realm of lying under oath or lying not under oath is when you do not qualify oath is when you do not qualify anything by saying to the best of my recollection or is my understanding. and so it would behoove him now to stop talking publicly and also to, if he is asked specifically about anything, he really is not sure as he claims, he needs to say to the best of my recollection. >> is also to the president to keep tweeting about him. he is already expressed his displeasure with andrew mccabe. thank you for joining us today
