the c.i.a., god bless america, and i just want to thank everybody in this room for doing such an incredible job and for giving gina that unbelievable support that she needed. it took courage for her to say yes in the face of a lot of very negative politics, and what was supposed to be a negative vote. but i'll tell you, when you testified before the committee, it was over. there was not much they could say. there was nobody more qualified than you, and you are going to do a fantastic job, gina. thank you very much. [cheering and applause] so with that, i would like to ask our great vice president to administer the oath of office.

thank you all very much. thank you. [applause] >> repeat after me, i do solemnly swear that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states. against all enemies, foreign and domestic. that i will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. that i take this obligation freely. without any mental reservations. and that i will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which i'm about to enter.

so help me god. [cheering and applause] >> good morning everyone and thank you mr. vice president for administering the oath. thank you, president trump for joining us today and offering those kind words. mr. president, it means a great deal to me and the agency that you made time to come out to

langley for this ceremony. [applause] you have placed enormous trust in c.i.a. throughout your presidency and the men and women of c.i.a. do not take that for granted. so thank you, mr. president, for your confidence in me, and your steadfast support of our mission and our people. i am truly honored to have this opportunity to lead the best workforce in government. it has been nearly 50 years since an operations officer rose up through the ranks to become the director, and after the experience of the last two months, i think i know why that is. [laughter] i look out in the crowd today and i see a strong representation of the c.i.a.'s past, present, and possibly even the future. i am looking at two young ladies, special guests, who

join us today. c.i.a. has been more than a career. it has been for me, like many of you, a calling. in this building and around the world today there are officers carrying out a vital mission. sometimes at great personal risk. i want each of you to know that i took on the position of director because i want to represent you as well as lead you. my years at c.i.a. have rewarded me in ways that i could never have imagined and i will continue to give it and you my all. there are countless role models and mentors who paved the way for me to stand here today. as the director, i want the current c.i.a. leadership team to be role models and mentors for our next generation of officers who will walk the streets of far-flung capitals and work the late nights here

at headquarters and abroad. i want to do right by all of you so you have the tools needed to carry out our sacred mission. every c.i.a. officer has taken the same oath that i just did to support and defend the constitution against all enemies and today i recommit i will do everything in my power to justify the faith that president trump and the american people have placed in us. and to make sure that c.i.a. continues to provide the intelligence needed to keep our country safe. i would be remiss if i did not also note the tremendous pride i take in being the first woman to serve as director. i would not be standing before you today if not for the remarkable courage and dedication displayed by generations of oss and agency women in roles both large and small who brokedown barriers and opened doors for the rest of us.

i am deeply indebted to them and extremely proud to follow in their footsteps and to carry on their extraordinary legacy. i stand on the shoulders of people who never sought public acclaim but served for generations after them. i want to express a special thank you and welcome to eliza and zoe who have joined us today. the notes from these two young ladies ages 6 and 7 sent to me sat on my desk these last two months and motivated me daily. in their own words and pictures they expressed their excitement about the opportunity my nomination represented and to eliza and zoe i would simply say, we did it. [applause]

lastly, allow me just a moment to talk about the future of this agency. a little over a year ago, secretary pompeo first spoke to me about becoming the deputy director. at that time, he said c.i.a. is the world's preeminent intelligence service and i want to make sure we position it to stay that way. mike was right, we are the best, and our challenge is to always be the best. we cannot rest on our laurels. we must learn from the past but we can't dwell in the past. we must constantly learn, adjust, improve, and strive to be better. we demand it of ourselves and america deserves nothing less. that includes boosting our foreign language proficiency, strengthening our partnerships overseas and here at home, and deploying more of our officers to the foreign field. we are a foreign intelligence service and our workforce and

our priorities need to reflect that. we also need greater focus and effort on the strategic threats our nation faces as well as the persistent threat from global terrorism. as always, the key to our success against these challenges will be empowering the incredible talent that resides within c.i.a. the men and women who serve here are a national treasure from the operations officers who collect our intelligence to the analysts who evaluate it for senior policymakers, to the support officers who enable every aspect of our mission to the scientists, engineers and cyber specialists who give us an edge over our adversaries. the only way to confront these threats is to forge ahead with determination and with the same spirit that has defined our agency since its founding more than 70 years ago.

i am profoundly honored to lead new that fight and to work alongside each one of you as we advance our vital mission. so, mr. president, thank you again for giving me the opportunity to serve, to represent the men and women of c.i.a., and to carry out the critical work of helping protect our country, our people, and our way of life. thank you very much. [applause] >> on behalf of the director of the central intelligence agency, thank you to our distinguished guests and to each and every one of you for participating in today's ceremony. as we close the ceremony, i

would just ask the audience to please remain in place while the presidential party and director haspel depart the lobby. once they depart the lobby, those in the lower lobby please exit the front by the seal and our guests that are here in the upper lobby, please adjourn to the portrait gallery to my right to join the director for a reception. thank you again for being with us today. [applause] >> what a day in langley, virginia. the first time in its history the c.i.a. has a female head. gina haspel starting as a covert agent is now running the organization. that's how we begin this monday

on "happening now" along with this. tough talk from gina haspel's predecessor, mike pompeo secretary of state as he lays out the trump administration's new strategy of dealing with iran after the departure from the iran nuclear accord. i'm jon scott. >> i'm melissa francis. he delivered those remarks today at the heritage foundation. he says the door is open to making a new deal with iran but they must comply with a list of demands or face crippling financial pressure. pompeo also calling out the, quote, fatal flaws from the 2015 obama-era agreement saying it failed to ensure american safety. he also accused iran of entering the deal in bad faith and lying about its nuclear weapons program. >> just last month an ierian

foreign minister said we never wanted to produce a bomb. >> rich from the state department. >> secretary of state mike pompeo says the united states is beginning a new campaign to isolate and punish the iranian regime borrowing a strategy from its north korea policy calling it a pressure campaign to get iran to change its behavior. >> the sting of sanctions will be painful if the regime does not change its course from the path it has chosen to one that rejoins the league of nations. these will indeed end up being the strongest sanctions in history when we're complete. >> he also warned european companies conducting business with iran, the united states would penalize them and crush

operatives around the world and borrowing from the north korean strategy he says the u.s. is willing to suspend sanctions and welcome iran into the global economic system and he detailed a list of a dozen demands in exchange including iran permanently and verifyably abandoning its nuclear work. provide the international inspectors unqualified access to all sites throughout its country. halt its ballistic missile development and release its prisoners from other countries. he says the united states will continue negotiating with european allies to reach with iran a treaty that incorporates all these elements to them. the european allies and the other countries that are part of the iran nuclear deal are negotiating among themselves without the united states to try to salvage the iran nuclear agreement. he says the united states will never renegotiate the iran nuclear deal. melissa and jon, back to you. >> thank you for that.

>> a family's sunday lunch ends in a first degree murder charge after a horrific crime. plus secretary of state mike pompeo threatens iran with the strongest sanctions in history if the country doesn't change course. >> it failed to guarantee the safety of the american people from the risk created by the leaders of the islamic republic of iran. somehow we always leave packing to the last minute. guys, i have a couple of things to wash. we got this. even on quick cycle, tide pods cleans great. 10x the cleaning power, even in the quick cycle. it's got to be tide.

>> jon: fox news alert at 17 minutes past the top of the hour. if you were with us at the beginning of the hour you saw the c.i.a. swear in its -- the president swear in the new chief of the c.i.a., gina haspel. she is a 30-year veteran of the c.i.a. and its first female head. joining us now john busee.

seeing somebody promoted not because of their political connections but because of their experience at the agency. >> a lifer. somebody who has been in the agency, made a career there, got to the top. i would say it's a win for the agency the morale. probably a win for president trump in that he got the nomination through and she was approved. there was some controversy along the way. and this is probably a win for continuity at the agency. there has been some tension between the president and the intelligence agencies, notably the c.i.a. because of his criticism of the f.b.i. and the intelligence agencies in general regarding the investigation into russia. so the fact that he is there, pence is there. it was kind of a victory lap for the president. >> jon: you've teed up our second topic, the justice department watchdog now looking into president trump's claims that the f.b.i. planted a spy within his campaign.

yesterday the president tweeting i demand and will do so officially tomorrow the department of justice look into whether or not the f.b.i./d.o.j. infiltrated or surveilled the trump campaign for political purposes and if any demands or requests were made by people within the obama administration. well, d.o.j. spokeswoman issued this statement. the department has asked the inspector general to expand the ongoing review of the fisa application process to include determining whether there was any impropriety or political motivation how the f.b.i. conducted its investigation of persons of suspected of involvement with the russian agents who interfered in the 2016 presidential election. what a remarkable chain of events this is, john. here you have a sitting president asking the justice department, of which he is technically the head, to investigate one of its own

agencies, the f.b.i., about whether it illegally surveilled the presidential campaign that resulted in president trump. astounding. >> it is. it's a bit unprecedented. the president can appoint the head of the department of justice. the department of justice is supposed to act independently to determine itself what investigations it should pursue. there is a complication here and awkwardness throughout. it's very interesting to watch how this is playing out. the president is claiming that there was a spy planted in his campaign. again very strong rhetoric. presumably meant to undercut the investigation that's ongoing, bob mueller's investigation of the campaign and any collusion, possible collusion with russia. what this was was not a supply planted in the campaign but an informant -- long-time informant of the f.b.i. and

c.i.a. that was having interactions with people that the f.b.i. had been onto for quite some time concerned about their connections with russia. carter page being one papadopoulos another. an informant who bumped up against them. asked them questions, tried to get a sense of what their connections were to russia. reported back to the f.b.i. not quite a spy planted in the campaign. >> jon: but the f.b.i. is saying we can't reveal this person's name to congress because that could result in personal safety problems for this person. >> the name is out there. it has been reported in our paper as well. we have a story in the "wall street journal" now. we aren't the only ones that have this information. it is an academic from britain. this will be interesting to watch whether the justice department down plays this, attaches the investigation to another investigation and doesn't make a big separate undertaking. >> jon: thank you, john, from the "wall street journal."

>> melissa: deadly mass shootings on school campuses becoming all too common. the latest incident claiming 10 lives in texas. we'll talk with the state's attorney general about possible solutions next.

>> melissa: north carolina police charging a man with first degree murder for intentionally ramming a car into a restaurant killing his daughter and daughter-in-law, who were seated inside with their family members. witnesses say the man seated his family at the restaurant during a busy sunday lunch, then went back to the car and drove it at a high rate of speed into the building. >> i got about 100 or 200 feet

away from the out room and i saw some blood on me and no idea i had been shot. somebody came up behind me and said i had been shot. >> jon: a victim from the texas high school shooting describesing his experience. funerals have become to take place in sante fe for the 10 people who did not survive the violent attack. eight students and two teachers were killed. another 13 were wounded. texas lawmakers now looking at legislative solutions to prevent future tragedies like this one. joining us now texas attorney general ken paxton. is there a legislative solution? >> i don't think there is a perfect solution but things that we can do a whole lot better. our first responders do their best to get to these shootings as quickly as they can but seconds, minutes and seconds matter in these situations and having somebody there that can actually defend, whether a

trained police officer or trained teachers, administrators. we need to move forward quickly with something like that. >> jon: there will be a lot of discussion over the fact because the suspect in this case is 17 years old and a juvenile, he can be sentenced to a maximum of 40 years in prison. >> that's not texas law. that was a supreme court ruling from 2005. legislature in texas had a different solution. that's where we're at right now. that was a court from 2005. that is something the legislature can challenge if they want to. we'll see what happens when they get back in session. >> jon: additional charges that could be levied against him because of the homemade bombs that would result in a longer than 40 year sentence because juveniles are not eligible for execution or life in prison. >> as the investigation goes on they will look at other charges if they are possible related to

things like the explosive. we'll have to see what the investigation turns up and what the d.a. and federal prosecutors decide they want to do. >> jon: there was a significant amount of pre-planning that went into this. does that not change the nature of the sentencing here? >> it certainly seems like it should but on the other hand it is again a juvenile. it won't affect whether they get the death penalty or put them in prison for life. that's a supreme court ruling we have to deal with. that's the law until it's challenged or overruled. >> jon: if you could change one thing about the law or society that would in your view prevent actions like this in the future, what would it be? >> obviously our culture has changed significantly over the last several decades. we didn't used to have so many shootings like this. it gets back to families. if we could fix all families

and provide families taking care of their kids i think the incidence of these shootings would certainly be less. >> jon: ken paxton is the attorney general for the state of texas where they're wrestling with this awful shooting from friday. thank you for your time this morning. >> thanks for having me on. have a great day. >> melissa: secretary of state mike pompeo laying out a new approach for dealing with iran and warning about the dangers of the nuclear deal. we'll break down the tough new strategy. hello, aloe. kelp is on the way! with herbal essences bio:renew made with active antioxidants that work from the inside out... to help animate lifeless hair. let life in with herbal essences bio:renew.

>> melissa: fox news alert. secretary of state mike pompeo ripping into iran during his first major speech as the nation's top diplomat. his remarks coming on the heels of president trump's decision to withdraw from the obama-era nuclear deal. >> iran has lied for years about having had a nuclear weapons program. iran entered into the jcpoa in bad faith. it is worth noting that even today the regime continues to lie. >> melissa: joining me now is retired four-star admiral and former seventh fleet commander robert nadder. thank you for joining us. in that speech he outlined that you need a framework to address all of iran's hostilities and threats right now which includes the acceleration of their terror campaign whether

in yemen or in syria or in gaza. they've also accelerated their ballistic missile program in all of this and if you assume it's true that they haven't continued with their nukes, we still didn't get those any time anywhere inspection that president obama promised. are those the things we need to address and is there any hope of addressing them? >> certainly they need to be addressed. and the partial flawed issue of nuclear weapons development is one issue. as you suggested the increased activity in terrorism in yemen and syria and against the israelis is obvious. ballistic missile development is obvious. the fact that they've seized some of our sailors and imprisoned them and finally released them, that's the actions of a rogue nation. and they are getting worse, not better. >> melissa: so there is some thought that there is a back

and forth going on, at least on the sidelines, between the u.s. and those who are trying to maintain a deal. france, the u.k., and germany. as they talk about this maybe there is a potential to have a new or amended deal that would include some of these items that we talked about. that france wasn't happy with the first deal anyway. what do you think of that? >> well, i think all the nato nations and our allies agree that the first deal was flawed and the fact that these other two actions on the part of iran are not acceptable. the issue is how do we address them? we've got to place enhanced economic pressure on iran and that will be the challenge with our allies. >> melissa: i think most of the point of mr. pompeo's speech was to say yes, there is a plan two.

to push back in concert with our allies and also to apply what would be really crippling sanctions. is that an adequate plan b as it were once we step away from the iran nuclear agreement? >> well, i think it should be the country's going in position. there will be negotiations necessary but without this enhanced economic pressure on iran, they've got no incentive to change their ways. >> melissa: do you think they have any incentive to change their ways anyway even with crippling sanctions? they have been committed to this path for so long i wonder how much hope you have if we can curb their aggression around the globe. >> that was brought them to the table in the first place. the pressure. the second point is that kind of pressure has got to be consistent and it has to be -- have an impact. it is obvious it did have an impact. when those sanctions were relaxed, they got more active

in their ballistic missile development and their terrorist support. >> melissa: the hardest part is that president obama also promised snap back sanctions. it's not the case when the other allies don't want to go along with that. for their own economic needs they've been bolstered by the new relationship with iran. how hard do you think it is to get them back on board? >> i think it will be difficult but the reality is our companies and industries will be affected by this as well. take boeing, for example. we have to sit down with them and said we have to endure the pain short term to obtain longer-term objectives. >> melissa: do you have hope for those longer-term objectives. it seems like we were on this collision course with north korea whatever you describe what is going on today it feels like we're in a better place today than a few months ago. do you think the same is possible with iran or is it a

totally different player? >> look, negotiations are the way to achieve progress here. but we've got to put pressure on them to bring them to the table. and then be willing to negotiate. they aren't going to accept our going in position and we certainly aren't going to accept there. that calls for negotiations. >> melissa: admiral, thank you for joining us and we appreciate your insight today. >> jon: louder calls for action on gun control in the wake of the texas high school shooting but one survivor and gun activist is calling for something else as well and pointing a finger at the media. plus a potential breakthrough in the u.s./china trade talks. will the two economic giants forget their differences and go back to being trade partners? >> ultimately this is about industry being able to have hard contracts and deliver these goods. so, you guys have recently started dating...

>> melissa: new information on trade talks with china. the world's two largest economies agreeing to drop their tariff threats as they work on broader trade parameters. here is treasury secretary steve mnuchin on "fox news sunday". >> we're putting the trade war on hold. so right now we have agreed to put the tariffs on hold while we try to execute the framework. the president has been very clear since the first meeting with president xi in mar-a-lago that we are going to reduce the trade deficit. we have an agreement with china that they will substantially agree to it. >> melissa: markets are celebrating. the agreement reached sets up the framework for addressing the trade imbalances between the two trading partners. >> jon: the high school shooting in texas last week drawing a wide range of reaction from around the country. parkland survivor david hogg calling on the media to stop naming school shooters saying

this overnight fame acts as an incentive and tweeted i don't know the shooters name and you don't want to. any time you see a post from name or face from a news organizations text notoriety. we make these people known worldwide for their horrifying acts. let's stop that. we have our fox news contributors here. tammy, this has been suggested before. in fact, on another network one of the anchors friday night said we're not going to name the shooter in this particular case. so hogg's suggestion is not new but comes around every time there is one of these school shootings. does it have merit? >> it is a huge discussion even if you know on twitter just search shooter named and you

get across the board -- when it comes to republicans or democrats everyone is saying let's not do this. it is tempting, of course, because it's something you can do immediately to get rid of that individual if this is -- it is an element. not the thing that drives these shootings. but then at least when it comes to the media and for the public's right to know it would be tempting to do this and yet at the same time we then are eliminating a factor that matters when it comes to determining why these things happen, how it happened and like with nikolas cruz as an example. we probably would not have learned the extent of how the government and f.b.i. had failed, the extent of the history here without that larger conversation. the issue becomes what do we do as a society? if we say fame is the only thing that matters, any kind of fame. a man got a standing ovation the other day in illinois, mark dallas, a school resource officer who stopped a shaongt.

we don't have major programs about him. most people don't know his names and he stopped a shooting at a graduation rehearsal in a gym. it becomes a matter of the news deciding to cover the entire spectrum of what goes on, balanced with the public's right to know as well. >> jon: do you get the impression these people are doing it for fame are doing it for some weird kind of revenge? >> we don't know why this young man decided to do this. but what we do know is that he corrected the judge when the judge mispronounced his name. so clearly having his name out there was important to him. and i think it's the very least we can do to deny him that sick notoriety because in our society as tammy suggested, notoriety is the equivalent of celebrity. but that's not enough. what about the parents of this sick young man? he brought his father's shotgun into class.

shouldn't parents be held responsible, perhaps even legally responsible, when a minor misuses a weapon in this way? never mind the issue of gun control, which i also think we have to face. how many more of these shootings, 240,000 children have experienced a school attack since 1982. that's 100 since columbine and the rate is going up. we have to do more than we're doing. >> jon: but holding parents responsible for -- you get into some pretty tricky legal ground there. >> this is where a lot of complaints have been made when it comes to the issue of what families can do with those mentally disturbed in a family. the ability of parents to commit their child if there is a problem. that ability has been washed away to some degree. at the same time it started the argument when it came to the bombers and the cover of rolling stone. the epitome of that kind of framework. the studies i've read on the

issue of not naming shooters. the arguments have been dealing with the gun issue and mental health issues are too difficult and this would be a much quicker, easier way but that's not the way you make decisions, right? what is quicker and easier. it is imperative whether terrorism or this situation we can make better progress when we know the who and the why. and it is a societal issue of are we elevating these people or using them to make sure that we can stop this from happening again or at least learning from these experiences and finding alternatives to deal with it. >> houston police chief said he had had enough talk about prayers. he wanted serious gun control. i'm with him and i'm with david hogg. don't mention this guy's name. it's the least we can do but it is where we start. >> jon: judy miller and tammy bruce, thank you. >> melissa: an altercation outside a nail salon leads to a wild ride all caught on video.

>> jon: the vegas golden knights turning impossible into possible. the rookie year hockey team heading to the stanley cup finals after betting the winnipeg jets. vegas becomes the third team in nhl history to play for the stanley cup in its first season. let's bring in sportscaster and fox news contributor jim gray. there are dynastys in hockey. the penguins, bruins, the golden knights, jim? >> it is beyond belief. these people were cast as misfitts and teams didn't want them and teams put them in the draft.

coming off the tremendous tragedy that happened at the mandalay bay hotel. uplifting to the city. the first team in las vegas and it has been magnificent and exciting. i went as a fan the other night. it was incredible. the show they put on before the game and the show during the game. fleury has been spectacular. >> melissa: is there any economic advantage for a first-year team. do you get to pick players from somewhere else? i heard what you said about them being a cast of misfits but it happened two other times. is there any kind of advantage to being a startup team? >> no, there is no advantage at all. this usually takes forever. in this case it hasn't. they can protect a certain amount of players and you can pick players who either have small contracts or big contracts. and as you go down the line teams can protect more and more players. so no, there is no advantage at

all. and it has been incredible. i want to throw in one other thing. bill foley is the majority owner. the minority owner put this whole thing together. what a sporting life that family has had. this is the third time in three different sports that they are in the finals with the houston hock either in the 80s, they won with the monarchs in the wnba and now here. that family, what a run. this will be so much fun. comes on the heels of las vegas being a big sports town now because the raiders moved there and will start to play in veg nasa couple of years. >> jon: they dispatched winnipeg. the team with the history and players and everything else and they took care of them pretty quickly. >> they won four straight games. they lost the first game 4-2 and they came back with a vengeance. it was incredible. every time winnipeg scored a goal the knights would come back in each game.

again, i just can't say how spectacular the goalie, mark fleury, has been. he won stanley cups with the penguins and he is carrying this team on their shoulders. so much fun to watch and we'll see tonight. the caps and lightning play a game six. we'll have tampa bay against las vegas, how unlikely would that be? the bookies are getting killed in las vegas because the knights were 300, 400 and 500 to 1 to win this. that's more than buster douglas. he was 50 to 1. that's what they thought about the team. >> melissa: we have a lot of lightning fans in our house. there is something to the team ownership for sure. they set the tone. they spend the money. what had they done differently with this team?

>> well, i think probably what we have they've done is picked the right general manager and coach and they picked the right players. so it all starts with the people on the top. bill foley and the family have done a great job. they picked mcphee and the coach girard and look at where they're at. it is just beyond belief. i cover sports for a living now. i can't remember anything like this. for this to happen in this town at this time with what has gone on, it's just great. you think of las vegas as a transient town. these are all the locals. these are all the fans that live in las vegas. these aren't people coming in to watch the imposing teams. the way they've played is impressive. if you look back the washington capitals only won eight games in the late 70s -- in the early 70s when they came in.

the knights won 51. the best expansion team before this florida panthers had done well and the flyers won 31 games back in 1967. but when you see what they have done and how they've come together. usually it takes years to build a chemistry. it is beyond belief. >> jon: it will be fun to watch. >> it will make a lot of people who aren't hockey fans, hockey fans. >> melissa: an apparent dispute between a nail salon worker and customer turning dangerous in jackson, tennessee all caught on video. the worker stands behind the customer's car blocking it in saying she didn't pay. the customer tries to drive away and the worker jumps onto the trunk. look at that. look at that. a witness says the car drove two miles with the salon employee on the back.

jackson police say they're investigating the incident. 2 1/2 miles, wow. she had to be holding on tight. we'll be right back.
