30,000 feet. let's get to it. >> breaking news, shepard smith reporting live from the fox news deck. >> shepard: breaking news on many fronts to begin this news hour on fox news channel. this is video in to us in the last two minutes. the japanese prime minister being greeted by president trump. my understanding is that this will be a two-day event. the first lady will have dinner with the families tonight. and this afternoon they will be talking about what the white house is describing as the summit with kim jong un of north korea. so the japanese leader in town at trump's resort in palm beach. now a photo opportunity and the president speaking. let's listen. >> thank you very much, everybody. it's an honor to have prime minister abe with us. the japanese people greeted me so warmly when i was there. and actually even before

becoming president, it's very, very special country. special place with a very, very extraordinary leader. so it's an honor to have you in florida with us. it's an honor to have you at mar-a-lago and an honor to have you in the united states. it's really something special. we're going to be discussing trade with japan. we are going to be discussing military, we're going to be discussing security. and we will, i am sure, at the outset we are going to get along. when it's all over we are going to get along even better. thank you so much for being here. mr. prime minister? >>?[speaking foreign language] >> shepard: well, we did not know that this would be a speaking event. it wasn't announced and we do not -- i don't speak that language. let's listen so see if there is question and answer period. >> i'm very happy to be

back. [speaking foreign language] >> so for today and tomorrow, i am going to have an in-depth discussion with donald. and i very much look forward to having our discussion, mainly on the two topics which includes north korea and the economy. for north korea issue i would like to underscore the importance of achieving the complete, verifiable and irreversible nuclearization as well as the abandonment of missile programs of north korea and opt specific point i would like to share understanding and recognition with donald.

[speaking foreign language] translator: so both japan and the united states have been leadership. pressure contained against north korea which actually successfully made north korea side to start seeking dialogue with us. so, it is fair to say that our approach has been proved to be and the right one and also on this occasion i would like to commend donald's courage in his decision to have the upcoming summit meeting with the north korean leader. [speaking foreign language]

translator: so i look forward to having a discussion on the issue of north korea, including both nuclear as well as missile issues and also the abduction issue which is a priority issue for japan. [speaking foreign language] translator: so we have the gorgeous setting for both of us to have today's discussion, and i very much feel delighted and also privileged to have a discussion with donald today to talk about our cooperation throughout the development of both japan and the united states and also how we can corroborate together to realize peace in the region as well as in the entire international

community. >> well, thank you very much. many of the world's great leaders request to come to mar-a-lago and palm beach. they like it. i like it. we're comfortable. we have great relationships as you remember. we were here and president xi of china was here. and when we do it, it was originally built as the southern white house. it was called the southern white house. it was given to the united states and then jimmy carter decided it was too expensive to the united states. so they fortunately for me gave it back and i bought it. but we are -- who would have thought it was is h is he could. many people want to be here. they request specifically. north korea is coming along. south korea is meeting and has plans to meet with north korea to see if they can end the war and they have my blessing on that. and they have been very generous. without us and without me in particular, i guess, you would have to say, that they wouldn't be discussing

anything including the olympics would have been a failure instead it was a great success. they would have had a real problem as you know north korea participated in the limp olympics and it made it really it was quite an olympics. that was quite a success. that would not have happened. they do have my blessing to discuss the end of the war. people don't realize the korean war has not ended. it's going on right now and they are discussing the end of the war. subject to a deal, they would certainly have my blessing and they would have my blessing to discuss that. and japan and ourselves are locked and very unified on the subject of north korea. we will probably be depending on various meetings and conversations we'll be having meetings with kim jong un very soon. that will be taking place probably in early june or a little before that. assuming things go well. it's possible things won't

go well and we won't have the meetings and we'll just continue to go along this very strong path that we have taken. but we will see what happens. tomorrow we'll have further discussions on trade, on north korea, our military. japan is buying a tremendous amount of military equipment from the united states, which is good. and as you know, we are buying a lot of cars and a lot of other things from japan. but we are each buying a lot but we still have to talk about trade and the prime minister understands that. we're going to sneak out tomorrow morning and play a round of golf, if possible. and if we have the time, when i was in japan, the prime minister took me out to and we played with a great golfer. matuzima. he is one of the top three or four golfers in the world. i always thought i was okay at golf then i realized we're not so good. he was really great and very special. and i also just, in ending,

i want to congratulate you, it matsuma another great golfer from japan won the great pga event this weekend. it's been a long time. i want to congratulate you on that. that's a big honor. a great honor. >> thank you. [speaking foreign language] >> shepard: now as you might have figured out the

interpreter letting the president know what the prime minister just said. but as i mentioned, this was not something that we realized was going to happen but it's been interesting nonetheless. learned a little bit about golf and heard once again that the united states, there will be a summit or a meeting with the north korean leader, quote, very soon. then early june or before that or we'll see what happens. we believe it's entirely possible that the president may face questions or maybe even take questions from the news media. so once we return to a language that we collectively might understand, i am sure a few of you get the japanese. actually, they are asking me if i want to turn to john roberts, and i do. we want to talk to john roberts in just a minute. but we're sure that this translation is going to end and then they will talk again. [speaking foreign language]

>> shepard: the part about golf. right after that -- here we go. [laughter] >> very good, thank you. i just want to conclude by saying that our house, great house is filled with people from japan, representatives from japan and from the u.s. and they have been negotiating for weeks, actually, and hopefully this will be the conclusion of some very good transactions for both, including tremendous purchases from the united states and also from japan. so, i want to thank everybody for being here and, mr. prime minister, it's a great honor to have

you. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> thank you. make your way out. thank you. >> make your way out. >> let's go guys. let's go. >> thank you. >> shepard: well, you can imagine there are probably a few questions. probably none of them are about cars being purchased. but, plenty of questions nonetheless as this couple of day meeting between the japanese leader and the united states leader get underway. i'm shepard smith in new york and this is shepard smith reporting and here is john roberts down in palm beach for us today. a little unexpected chitchat get-together thing there john. >> always expect the unexpected when it comes to this white house. what is the plan now turns out not to be the plan five minutes from now. one of the things i was interested to hear is that shinzo abe may get together to play golf tomorrow. i was led to believe by white house officials last night because abe had not said anything about going to

mar-a-lago to play golf before he left japan, that it likely wouldn't happen. apparently the prime minister has to notify the parliament about such things. particularly at a time when shinzo abe is in a lot of political trouble there in japan. but you heard the president talk about trade. you heard him talk about national security. the latest wrinkle that has been thrown into the mix here is word from south korea that south korea and north korea are talking about finally, after 65 years, signing a peace agreement. the end of the korean war came in 153. but it was only because of a cease-fire and armistice. now they are talking about actually signing a trade deal and indicating that it could happen when the south korean president moon-in and kim jong un get together in pyeongchang. that's the second time i have done that today. pyeongchang is where they heard the olympics. the border between north

korea and south korea, they don't know if they will be able to do it in the summit. they will see if they can get some distance downtown road. as to how that is going to change the calculus between the summit between president trump and kim jong un, matt pot jerry who is the president's point person from the national security council sill would not say in a briefing that he and larry kudlow had just about two hours ago, three hours ago now, before the press, but saying that japan's national security interests would be taken into account in any meeting that the president has with kim jong un. that's a real point of concern for shinzo abe which is why you heard him say there in that little meeting before the press that he wants full and verifiable denuclearization of the korean peninsula. not just talking about intercontinental ballistic missiles but also medium range ballistic missiles that could hit china. the united states, in this briefing today, saying that japan's security interests

will be taken into account. the japanese security interests are america's security interests. shep? >> shepard: john roberts live for us. john, thank you. ♪ >> shepard: some breaking news and we have just learned of a dramatic emergency landing about which you knew on southwest airlines. we have just learned that one person has died in the aftermath of the landing of this southwest airline's flight. it came after passengers say part of an engine ripped apart and blew out a window on that jet and, frankly, nearly pulled a woman out from her aisle seat. that's according to two witnesses. we heard that from a woman who was on the southwest airlines 737. saw other passengers pull the woman to safety. we heard a similar story from a man whose daughter-in-law said she witnessed all of it. here's a look at the jet's left engine, can you see that's outside the window there that blue out. and now we have a map.

could we see the engine, please? a passenger tweeted this photo, which i guess -- there we go. this photo and wrote made it, still here. would you look at this engine. that happened, according to authorities at 30,000 feet. that did. you can see the fire fighting foam on the ground now. first responders said there was a small fire burning when they arrived in philadelphia. the flight took off -- no. the flight took off from laguardia airport here in new york city heading to dallas. there you go. not long after that it made a sharp turn as you can see and whipped back around to land in philadelphia. we also have some video from inside the jet. this is that video. you can see people wearing their oxygen masks. one passenger spoke about how it all unfolded. >> the plane dropped, our air masks immediately fell

down. and going through the ventilation. all the while we had internet access. we had technical capabilities. so the next 16, 20 minutes, i can't speak for all the other passengers, i spent those texting my wife and my family that i loved them. >> shepard: his wife and his family that he loved them. you couldn't understand that maybe i couldn't either. so far not much detail from the airlines. southwest says safety is always its top priority and, quote: we are working diligently to support our customers and crews at this hour. well, when the president was speaking, the national transportation board started a briefing on this matter. we didn't want to interrupt the president because we know of the importance of this, we have basically dvred it and start that news conference from just a few minutes ago at the beginning. we have dvr'ed it for you. >> i'm the chairman of the

national transportation safety board. and the ntsb is launching a go team to philadelphia to begin our investigation of this event involving a southwest airlines flight earlier this morning. here's the information that we have at this time. at about 11:15 this morning, southwest flight 1380, boeing 737, 700 was in route from laguardia to dallas love when it suffered an apparent engine failure in flight engine failure of the left engine. and subsequently diverted into philadelphia. the registration number of the aircraft is november 772 sierra whiskey. 772 sw. we know that there were 144 passengers and five crew members aboard.

certainly we do know that there have been injuries and we would like to offer our condolences to all of those who have been affected by this event. the ntsb' go team will be sending specialists with expertise in power plants, air worthiness, survival factors, and operations. we're also sending specialists from the ntsb office of transportation disaster assistance who will be there to help with the needs of those who have been affected by this event. it's our understanding that the recorders have been secured and they should be flying back on the same airplane that we're going up on. they should be back in washington tonight. we expect a preliminary readout of those recorders in the ntsb's lab in washington this evening. we expect to arrive in philadelphia around 4:30 this afternoon, and we will

begin our immediate investigation, examination of the engine and the damage to the fuselage. the engine will be ultimately shipped off site where we can do a detailed examination, tear down of the engine. we expect to release factual information from philadelphia once we get up there. we're just now beginning our journey. this will be an extensive investigation. and we do expect to release information once we are in philadelphia. we certainly don't have a lot of factual information to report at this time. follow us for the latest information for our latest media interviews. you can follow us from twitter on our handle is at ntsb,under score newsroom or www ntsb.gov. as you know, we do need to

get on the airplane and head up to philadelphia so we can get on with this investigation, but i will be glad to take a few questions. if you would, just raise your hands and i will call on you and state your name and your outlet. you had your hand raised first. >> abc news. how concerned are you repeat of 2016 flight? >> two part question. is this related to or are we concerned this might be relate to the event that happened a few years ago over the gulf of mexico? and, you know, we, first of all, first and foremost, we want to look at this particular event and see what the factors are surrounding this. and maybe they're related to that previous event and maybe they are not. we need to understand what's going on here. as far as the injuries, we do have information there was one fatality. any other questions? right here. >> ntsb news.

can you speak to how rare [inaudible] >> the term you said uncontained engine fire. some people are saying uncontained engine failure. we don't think there was a fire at all. now, the term has been widely used this morning and this afternoon uncontained engine failure. now, i don't want to sound peru cratic, but that uncontained engine failure coconnotate as very specific thing. the engine is designed to not have an uncontained engine failure. there are protection rings around the engine to keep shrapnel from coming out. even though we believe that there were parts coming out of this engine, it may not have been in that section of the engine that technically would qualify this as uncontained engine failure. at this point, at this point the ntsb is classifying this, we are saying this is

an engine failure. once we get there, and look at it, we may say well, in fact, this is an uncontained engine failure. we do know that parts came off the engine, but those parts may not have been in that section of the engine that is associated with the protection region associated with an uncontained engine failure is the question here. >> can you tell me what the status of the investigation into flight 472 -- do you need more information? >> what is the status of the previous southwest airlines uncontained engine failure? or engine failure i should say classified as uncontained engine failure. i don't have that information right now. our focus right now is getting out the door at headquarters and getting on this airplane so that we can get up to philadelphia. yes, sir. >> cbs news. [inaudible] >> former boeing 737 pilot i flew the 737 for 10 years.

i have ever experienced a situation like this? and the answer to that is no. i will take two more questions. there is a question right here. >> i understand you can't classify this how unusual is uncontained engine fire vs. how unusual is an amid-air. >> great question. even if this is not uncontained engine failure how frequent does the ntsb see what we technically do sees a uncontained engine failure. and the answer to that is about three or four a year. and not all of those involve u.s. carriers. in late fall. a-380 that had uncontained engine failure of a greenland. that was not a u.s. carrier. we see three or four a year. one last question i will take it right here. >> i understand there was [inaudible] involving this model of engine. what can you tell us about that? >> so what can i tell you about a prepared air

worthiness directive on this engine. the engine is cfm 56 engine which is a very widely used engine in commercial transport. and cfm-56 there are various iterations of that. and so i can't say exactly what that air worthiness directive might have applied to at this point. but that will be part of our investigation. again, we are just now getting together and heading up to philadelphia. so those types of things we can go back and look at down the road. our focus now is to get up to philadelphia so that we can collect the pacial information. the information that goes away with the passage of time. while i'm on scene we will be releasing information as we know it if we have something tonight, we have a media briefing. if we don't, we won't have it but we do plan to release information as we hear it. i want to thank you all very much for being here. we are going to get on the airplane now and head out to philadelphia.

thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> >> shepard: that's the latest from the national transportation safety board. as i mentioned, this began while the president was speaking and we didn't want to edit it for you. we wanted you to hear all of it so we reracked it from the beginning. our julie banderas has been covering this story for us. i told you this flight took off from laguardia here in new york city. julie in laguardia. some of the passengers have been sharing their stories on social media. >> that's right. in fact, one passenger in particular shared traumatic experience on social media and even went live on facebook briefly while wearing an oxygen mask. in his post marty martinez wrote. this engine exploded in the air and blew open window three seats away from me. we have video to show. the video he actually posted online. he said the explosion injured a female sitting in the seat next to the window. it's being reported that woman has died after suffering from head trauma. the plane depart offed from

new york's laguardia airport. tracking data from flight aware.com shows the flight was heading west over new york's southern tier before abruptly turning toward philadelphia. these are pictures taken by some other passengers. this one by christopher johnson of the crew. 143 passengers, five crew members on board. and, shep, when you look at this and you hear 'an engine failure in mid-air and the harrowing rescue of all of these passengers that tried to scurry to the rescue of this woman who was literally partially sucked out of that window hole in mid-air. imagine the oxygen mask and the air and the wind and all these passengers rallied together and tried to save her. unfortunately though she later did pass away at a hospital as we are told. she did suffer major head trauma. no other injuries that we know of. but we do have to give major credit today to the crew and those two pilots who had to land this thing with just one engine. it was a 737, 700, a boeing.

shep? >> shepard: julie banderas in our new york newsroom. julie, thanks very much. more on this story as it comes in. obviously still developing. in the meantime, the president and the porn star. the adult film star stormy daniels releasing a sketch of the man who she says threatened her to stop talking about president trump. here's the sketch. along with $100,000 reward for information. it's the bottom of the hour, so time for middle of commercial bottom of the hour news break and then the bottom of the hour news on fox news next. ♪ ♪ evere crohn's disease. then i realized something was missing... me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks.

the judge in bill cosby's retrial says prosecutors can use the comedian's past testimony about giving women drugs before sex. bill cosby has said that he gave women quaaludes, sedatives, his lawyers argue it was irrelevant to the case because there is no proof that he gave the drug to the woman accusing him of drugging and molesting her. bill cosby has pleaded not guilty. and the supreme court justice sonia sotomayor broke her left shoulder when she fell in her home in d.c. happened yesterday morning. she will be wearing a sling for a few weeks. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis.

daughter, when the guy told her to leave trump alone and forget the story. stormy daniels says she does not know who this person is. but she says she will remember this person forever. she and her lawyers say they are offering a reward for information. remember, the president's personal attorney or fixer, michael cohen, admitted that he paid $130,000 out of his own pocket, he said to daniels, days before the 2016 election. cohen, the attorney and fixer, denied her accusations against the president but claimed that he wanted to stop the rumors from getting out there. president trump has denied knowing anything about the payment. and last month, after stormy daniels first said somebody threatened her, a lawyer for michael cohen demanded that she apologize for suggesting michael cohen was involved. daniels sued michael cohen for defamation. just everybody everybody was in court over documents that the feds seized from michael

cohen from his home, from his hotel room, from his safety deposit box, and from his office. there was a lot up in there. and laura ingel is live in our new york newsroom with the rest of the story. >> well, daniels was grilled by the hosts of "the view" today on all kinds of things, all kinds of topics this morning with her lawyer by her side she answered questions from the hosts of "the view" like did you receive money from mr. trump after had you a one nightstand? her answer was no. she also was asked about the impact her alleged sexual encounter may have had on the trump family? she said that matter is between him and his family. as to why she was in federal court yesterday to watch the proceedings involving the man that she says paid her hush money in 2006, she said she wanted to be there herself to hear the evidence. >> i just wanted to make my presence known and wanted to make sure that people knew that i was taking it serious. i know that there was some flack because he didn't show up to court on friday for

his -- and i wasn't sure if they were going to discuss anything particularly relating to papers in my case and i just wanted it be prepared and get all the facts. >> daniels and her lawyer also revealed a sketch for the first time of the man she claimed threatened her in a parking lot in 2011. stay quiet about the affair. daniels explained why she never went to police on that. >> i would have gone to the police and would have gone okay, a man approached me. this is what he said to me. he told me, you know, leave mr. trump alone, and their very next question the detective would have asked me why would somebody tell to you leave mr. trump alone? i would have had to answer that question, which was not public at the time and i would have had to tell the -- an entire police department and police reports are public record, i know that for a fact. i had sex with donald trump. and then the whole world would have known. >> and we have reached out for comment to michael cohen on all that stormy daniels had to say today. so far no word, shep. >> shepard: what's happening now with the cohen documents? >> yeah. tomorrow prosecutors will be telling judge kemba wood

exactly how long it will take them to go through all the evidence they have collected. yesterday after cohen's team fought to let them see the evidence before prosecutors go through it, the judge ordered the government to give copies of everything taken from cohen's home and office to his attorney. so they can slap what they consider privilege information. we also learned in court yesterday cohen named sean hannity as one of his legal clients. fox news releasing a statement last hour. while fox news was unaware of sean hannity's informal relationship with michael cohen and was surprised by the announcement in court yesterday, we have reviewed the matter and spoken to sean and he continues to have our full support. prosecutors and attorneys say it will most likely be several weeks before they go through everything related to this case. shep? >> shepard: laura ingle in our newsroom in new york. thank you. james comey says it is not normal and not okay that president trump is tweeting about comey going to jail. the fired fbi director says there is great danger in the

president of the united states talking about locking up private citizens saying it's a threat to the rule of law. on twitter earlier this week, president trump accused former director comey of leaking classified information and lying to the congress and suggested he should go to jail because of it. also called him a slime ball. comey is on a media blitz right now promoting his new book. trace gallagher is following that live for us. hello, trace. >> hi, shep. from the interviews james comey has given so far, it's pretty apparent the criticism from both the left and the right is taking its toll on the former fbi director. when it comes to president trump, comey is referencing a series of tweets the president wrote just hours before comey's first book interview with abc news where the president tweeted quoting: the big questions in comey's badly reviewed book are answered like how come he gave up classified information? jail. why did he fly congress? jail. why did the democratic national committee refuse to give the server to the fbi? why didn't they take it?

why the fireston phony memos mcs 700,000 and more. which mccabe said that's not normal and the president is making stuff up. watch. >> we wake up in the morning and seat president of the united states is accusing people of crimes without evidence and pronouncing them guilty and saying they should be in jail. that should wake all of us up with a start. there has been so much of it that we are a little bit numb and that's dangerous. >> comey also says when the president called the fbi raid on his lawyer michael cohen, quote: an attack on our country, it shows he lacks an understanding of the u.s. legal system. shep? >> shepard: you know, in the middle of all of it, trace, it's been widely observed by his supporters and detract torres and some of his critics that james comey takes some shots at the president through here that are, i don't know, kind of playground stuff. >> he does. and for example, comey who is 6'8" has said the president appears shorter than he seemed on a debate

stage, isn't as strong he's looks and said his face appeared slightly orange with bright, white half moons under his eyes. comey also wondered how long it must take the president to get his hair done in the morning. here is comey being asked about critics accusing him of cheap shots. watch. >> i'm trying to an author and bring the readers with me into a room and so i described all kinds of people in great detail to try and create a vivid image for the reared. i'm not trying to make fun of president trump. i'm not trying to make fun of anybody. >> yeah, so far no response from the white house. we should note today's interviews are james comey's first live sit-downs for the book. all the others were taped interviews. shep? >> shepard: trace gallagher. thank you, sir. we are keeping an eye on capitol hill. the joint chiefs of staff and defense secretary briefing lawmakers on syria. we will watch to see if anybody talks to reporters after that briefing. we will also head to the pentagon for a live update on the suspected chemical attack and missile strikes on syria.

>> shepard: breaking news and live look on capitol hill. defense secretary mattis and joint chiefs of staff chairman joseph dunford are briefing lawmakers, we believe, right now after the u.s. and its allies launched dozens of missiles against syria. more than 100 of them actually. see the reporters milling about. we really believe it's possible and i stress possible that somebody might come out to the stakeout camera. have a discussion about what they learned. that's why we show you. this maybe we will go there if they come out. a senior israeli military source is telling fox news, hear this now, a senior israeli military source is telling fox news the strikes were very superficial and if the goal was to eliminate the bashar al-assad's chemical weapons capabilities, the source says i'm not sure they succeeded. of course, that wasn't the goal. that was never the stated goal. i mean, israel would have

loved that. that's not what we were going for and that's not what happened. syrian state tv reports international inspectors are now in douma. the site of last week's suspected chemical attack. remember, they couldn't get in there for the longest time. the state department says it's not true that they are not even there they still not have gotten inside the town outside of the capital of damascus. yesterday the? ers said russian and syrian inspectors were blocking them from going in purportedly because of safety concerns. now a u.s. official has accused the kremlin, did so yesterday, of tampering with the evidence there. today, the russian military officials claim they found materials to make mustard grass in a rebel laboratory in do you meanma. remembermean -- douma. the united states supports the rebels in proxy war between iran syria and russia. russia and syria have repeatedly denied that there was even a gas attack to begin with. saying opposition activists staged the whole thing. u.s., british, and french officials say they have

evidence that assad unleashed poisonous gas on his own people, killing dozens of civilians including men women and children. our national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live on this at the pentagon. hello, jennifer. >> hi, shep. states department spokesman heather nauert just pushed back on those reports and said as far as her information, those inspectors are not in douma. mattis, defense secretary mattis, on the other hand, has been restrained in what he has said publicly before heading to capitol hill mattis spoke ahead of a meeting with the albanian defense minister. >> french and the united kingdom and united states allies, all nato allies, we work together to maintain the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons average and that's how muc came togethe. i hope this time assad got the messages. >> he and general dunford began briefing the entire house. and then will address the

entire senate two hours later. these are closed door classified meetings on the syria strike so, we do not expect to hear mattis and dunford speak when they're done. i can tell you, however, that congress was notified by the pentagon ahead of the strikes through secure channels from the pentagon's point of view the israeli criticism is unfair. pentagon officials wiped out all of assad's chemical weapons sites. >> let me say there is still a residual element of the syria plan out there. i believe we took the heart of it out with the attacks we accomplished last night. i'm not going to say they will continue to be able to conduct a clem call attack in the future. i suspect they will think long and hard based on the activities of last night. >> pentagon officials said from the get-go, they chose just three sites to avoid killing civilians and russian sources, shep. >> shepard: jennifer, what do you know about the announcement from syrian state television that country was under attack again? >> well, for the second time since saturday, the syrian military thought it was

under attack. reports from the region monday night claimed more missiles struck. this time at the shae rot air base launched 59 missiles a year ago. confusion ensued showing how jumpy the syrian military is right now. syrian state tv blamed israel and u.s. for electronic attack causing the false alarm. the pentagon was forced to issue a statement last night, quote: there are no u.s. or coalition operations in that area of homs, we don't have anything additional to provide. fox news has learned deception did play a key role in the strike against assad's chemical weapons facilities over the weekend. u.s. officials say assad's officials never saw the allied officials on their radar. >> shepard: quick commercial break and then i will speak with an analyst who says while the strike did send a message, they were also just proverbial slap on the wrist. she will explain why that is next.

>> shepard: another lye look on capitol hill where we are waiting for lawmakers to speak to the news media after a briefing on the crisis in syria. in the meantime let's get some analysis from alien i can't, a fellow in foreign policy at the brookings institution. her specialties include russian foreign policy and political warfare. good to see you. >> good to be back, shep. >> shepard: we had the strike more than 100 missiles and strikes of other kind. we saw the before and after pictures. what is the effect thereof in your estimates? >> these strikes were absolutely surgical in nature. precise. targeted. they hit the targets the u.s. wanted to identify. the syrian so-called counter attack didn't even touch any of the u.s. missiles or the warthewarplanes that are in the.

from a military perspective this was a very clean operation from. a strategic perspective. this strike was very restrained we don't know what comes next. this is the second time the administration has launched missiles at the assad regime for chemical attacks on civilians, there is profound evidence that this kind of chemical attacks are constantly ongoing on syria. this was not the second time. dozens of times this has happened. >> shepard: pardon the interruption i wouldn't do it for anything except those in the briefing about syria has just come out to the microphones. >> a statement to justify the legal authority for the attack on the chemical weapon facility horrible: however. the justification that came from the white house

essentially would justify this president and any other president. to conduct. any country, anywhere in the world. both to the physical, security of us and our. which basically means whatever he wants to do. decide to do. and that is simply. unacceptable. >> shepard: this is political argument we have all heard. beyond the scope of what we are discussing at this moment. democrats and a lot of others for that matter believe that the continuing use of force document that happened because of the events of 9/11 shouldn't cover everything from here to 10 buck 2 forever. that's one argument. the other one is the president is doing what's necessary. it's a matter that's not going to be decided today.

and it's an old discussion. but, elena, back to the matter at hand, if the -- if we were trying to send a message hey, assad, stop it. did we send it? or what in your estimation? >> well, i think that this is now the second time that u.s. airstrikes have hit syria after a chemical attack. going to have to do this, i think, continuously, to send a clear message, look, every time you attack your own people in this brutal way, there is going to be consequences, going to be punishment. ♪ >> shepard: breaking news now. that's the wrong one. we want to go to the president trump availability. we did not -- we weren't sure this was going to happen. all of a sudden here is president trump live. let's watch. >> representatives look right out of a movie. you are absolutely perfect. so i think that's very nice. i'm very impressed. it's great to have both of our representatives with us. [speaking foreign language]

we are talking north korea, military and trade. a lot of progress has already been made. and as you know we have been discussing these things for weeks and even months prior to this meeting which truly we'll call a summit and we have made a lot of progress. [speaking foreign language] >> shinzo and i have developed a close relationship. we speak all the time. and our nations, i think, have never been closer than they are right now. [speaking foreign language]

>> mr. prime minister thank you very much for being here. [speaking foreign language] traps later: prior to the one on one sitting, we have already had a very in-depth discussion focusing on the issue of north korea and also the economic issues. [speaking foreign language]

translator: on the issue of north korea, for the first time in the history of the world, there will be a summit meeting between the united states and north korea. [speaking foreign language] translator: prior to the u.s. north korea summit meeting. the summit meeting between south and north korea is being planned to take place. and since the went to olympic games in south korea we have observed major change in terms of the north korea's behavior and

background of this change is donald's unwavering conviction as well as a termination that you demonstrated in addressing the issue of north korea. so your stance made it possible to achieve this major change. [speaking foreign language] >> shepard: you get the general headline. the summit between united states and north korea. the president says will happen sometime in early june if not before and we will see what happens. the final bell is about to ring on wall street today and we are green across the board this afternoon. tech stocks leading the way. transportation issues, southwest airlines on today's incident down 2%. but get this netflix up 8.5%

on the session. if only we had known. the news continues now with neil cavuto on the network america trusts for news and information on cable. this is fox news channel. ♪ >> neil: welcome, everybody, i'm neil cavuto reporting today from the senate finance committee room in washington, d.c. this is where they say they can say the sausage is made. here the biggest tax cut in american history was cobbled together. it went along party line support. all republicans for it of course not all democrats for it in fact, not a single one. that has become a dividing political issue in this town. we thought this would be a back drop on tax day to keep in mind the revenues raised at record level. in fact $3.4 trillion comes into to the coffers of washington, d.c. and this year will be a record for that a lot of republicans are saying
