scandals. one with black face charges and the other with sexual assault charges. could it end up that a republican becomes a virginia governor? we'll see. i'm dana. here's shep. >> shepard: breaking news now on fox news channel. a live look at the state department where president trump is set to address a global coalition fighting isis. when that begins, we'll take you there live. reporting begins now. and a fox urgent to start things out. democrats in virginia in a state of escalating crisis. days after the common wealth attorney general called for the governor to resign over admissions that he dressed in black face, that very attorney general admits he did the same thing. in the 1980s when he was 19 years old. he was about to be outed and came forward instead. that means the top three officials in virginia, the governor, the lieutenant governor and now the attorney
12:01 pm
general are all fighting for their political lives. so far the democratic governor, ralph northam has refused to step down despite overwhelming pressure from inside his own party. he initially apologized and admitted he was in the racist year book photo but didn't specify whether he was the man in black face or the klan robes. governor northan backtracked and said he wasn't in black face. the democratic lieutenant governor, justin fairfax appeared on the verge of elevating to governor when he was facing a sexual assault allegation, which he called fabricated and politically motivated. turn the page, now today, he softened his tone saying he recognizes that no one makes charges of this kind lightly and it's important to listen when women come forward. and now the accuser has come forward and just issued a statement. i'll read part of it shortly.
12:02 pm
after the latest black face bomb shell from the attorney general, a democratic state senator summed it up this way to "the washington post." it's a mess. and it is. get this: if all three democrats are out, the governor, the lieutenant governor and the attorney general, the next in line to become governor in virginia is virginia's speaker of the house. the speaker is a man named kirk cox. he got his job after a tie break for the house seat in virginia's 94th district, a tie that was settled when one candidate's name was drawn from a bowl and that made republican kirk cox third in line for governor of the commonwealth. now back to justin fairfax. his sex assault accuser that her name, her photo and her statement be made public. with that, she's dr. vanessa tyson. she said that fairfax assaulted here in 2004. her statement is lengthy, graphic and detailed. it begins that i am now sharing
12:03 pm
this information about my experience in setting the record straight. it has been extremely difficult to relive the traumatic experience from 2004. mr. fairfax has trade to brand me as a liar to a national audience. in service to his political ambitions and has threatened litigation. given his false assertions, i'm compelled to make clear what happened. professor tyson goes on to describe a consensual encounter that she said devolved into a physical assault involving forced oral sex. her full statement is posted online. so currently the state of affairs in virginia is one of utter disarray. the top three men in leadership face at minimum political uncertainty and during the heart of the legislative session, the government in virginia is largely paralyzed. garrett tenney reporting live from richmond. do we know why the attorney general decided to share this
12:04 pm
now? >> shep, the backdrop for this decision is the controversy surrounding the governor and the lieutenant governor. with those controversies, there's some talk that the attorney general could eventually become the next governor. so he clearly did not want to end up in the same position as governor ralph northam by having this news came out later down the road. so when he was 19 years old, he and friends dressed up like rappers and wore brown makeup to a party. he said it was a one-time thing. his statement continues. that conduct clearly shows that as a young man, i had a lack of awareness and insensitive to the pain my behavior could inflict on others. in the days ahead, honest conversations and discussions will make it clear whether i can or should continue to serve as attorney general. there's no widespread calls for him to step down. most of the folks we spoke to say this is still too early. they're processing this.
12:05 pm
just the latest bomb shell in virginia politics, shep. >> shepard: and extraordinary walk back from the lieutenant governor. what is he saying now about the sex assault allegation against him? >> shepard: as you mentioned, he a tacked the credibility of his accuser. today he did walk that back a bit saying that every woman deserves to be heard. he also gave his own account of their interaction which he described as consensual. he said at no time did she express discomfort and their interaction. this afternoon, dr. tyson painted a very different picture of that encounter in her graphic retelling, including when she says what began as consensual kissing quickly turned into sexual assault. he put his hand behind my neck and pushed my head toward his crotch. only then i realized that he unsiped his pants and fairfax
12:06 pm
forced her to perform oral sex as she was crying and gagging. she says she has no political motivations to come forward now, directly pushing back on something that the lieutenant governor has been saying over the last few days, shep. that whoever is behind this has political motivations to bring him down, shep. >> shepard: virginia. garrett tenney. thank you. back to the state department now where we're waiting to hear from president trump. this is not president trump obviously. introductions are underway. about the fight against the islamic state. the president's remarks will come nearly two months after he declared isis defeated in syria and declared that he, the president, was pulling troops out of the country. it was a decision that flew in the face of his intelligence advisers but was in line of the position of the president of turkey. notably, president trump has just finished a phone call with the president of turkey when he announced the syrian troops decision. last night during his state of the union address, president
12:07 pm
trump said the united states will continue to work with our allies to destroy the remnants of isis. the pentagon inspector general warning that isis could surge back and regain territory in syria in a matter of months without sustained u.s. military pressure. hours ago, the secretary of state mike pompeo told allies that the fight against isis not ending. >> president trump's announcement that u.s. troops will be withdrawing from syria is not the end of america's fight. the fight is one that we will continue to wage alongside of you. the draw down of troops is a tactical change. it's not a change in the mission. >> shepard: so we've heard lots of versions about what is going on in syria. first we heard from the president that isis was dead and troops were coming out. we'll see what he has to say on that matter now. here's the president. >> on behalf of many people, it's an honor to be here today at the state department among so
12:08 pm
many distinguished diplomats and others representing the nations of global coalition to defeat isis. together we comprise 74 countries and five international institutions all united in the fight against this vile terrorist organization. and vile they are. i want to thank acting defense secretary patrick shanahan. patrick, stand up. you've done a fantastic job. we appreciate it. [applause] thank you. ambassador james jeffery. thank you. and all of our coalition members here today for their enduring commitment to defeating isis in the middle east and around the world. in january 2017, only two years ago, isis had a vast amount of
12:09 pm
territory in syria and iraq, when i became president, i said i want to see what they have. i looked and it was a mess. it was a lot. when i took office, one of my very first acts was to go to the pentagon and ask them to produce and show me a plan to defeat isis. under the new approach we developed, we empowered our commanders in the field, enabled our partners on the ground and directly confronted isis' wicked ideology. we're doing that today except in even greater numbers. as a result, as i noted in my state of the union address yesterday, the united states military, our coalition partners and the syrian democratic forces
12:10 pm
have liberated virtually all of the territory previously held by isis in syria and iraq. it should be formally announced sometime next week that we will have 100% of the caliphate. i want to wait for the official word. i don't want to say it too early. the past two years, we have retain more than 20,000 square miles of land. we have secured one battlefield and we've had victory after victory after victory and we have taken both mosul and raqqa. we have eliminated more than 60 mile high value isis leaders, so we have a -- if you look at the isis leaders of the 60 top, we've eliminated almost every one of them.
12:11 pm
now, they reform, we know that, but they are having a hard time reforming and i won't say it's a great job to have because of us. it's not exactly -- hopefully won't be a sought-after occupation. more than 100 other top isis officials have been eliminated and tens of thousands of isis fighters are gone. they're gone. together we have freed more than five million civilians from these blood thirsty killers. you see it. we used to see it to an extent where we couldn't believe where our people and our friends and allies in many cases, people whose parents i've gotten to know had to wear the orange uniform prior to you know what.
12:12 pm
we don't want to see those scenes anymore. thanks to the global coalition including all of you here today and to our other partners, isis caliphate has been decimated. nobody thought it would possible to do it this quickly. three weeks ago, i was in iraq, and i was talking to some of our great generals. and i gave them the absolute go-ahead. i said go at it. how long will it take? once you get started. said sir, one week. i said where did that come from, one week? he meant it. it's about a week since they really got going. and they'll be informing us very soon officially that it's 100%. isis can no longer claim widespread ownership over local governments in syria and iraq.
12:13 pm
now, you're always going to have people that will be around. they're sick. they're demented. but you're going to have them no matter how well we do militarily. you can't do better than we've done militarily. but you will have people that will be around and we'll search them out and you'll search them out and we'll find them. hopefully they won't be around long. they can no longer extract natural resources because they no longer control the land or the area. they can no longer tax the citizens in that area because they no longer have that area or steal ancient artifacts or destroy ancient artifacts as they have been doing. they have really been setback.
12:14 pm
we're working very hard on the internet. for a period of time, they used the internet better than we did. they used the internet brilliantly. now it's not so brilliant and the people on the internet that used to look up to them and say how wonderful and brilliant they are are not thinking of them as being so brilliant because they've been decimated. they can no longer control schools to impose their vicious ideology on young children. critically isis also now lacks a significant territorial base from which to launch terrorist attacks against other countries. recruit foreign fighters and spread havoc across the region. their land is gone. it's a big factor. their land is gone. this afternoon, i want to applied the outstanding men and women of the united states
12:15 pm
military, credible people, for their remarkable skill and precision throughout this entire campaign. now as countries in the region and across our coalition step up their commitments, and we continue to destroy the remnants, that's all they have, remnants, but remnants can be very dangerous, have to remember that. a remnant can be very dangerous. but we have remnants of isis. we look forward to giving our brave warriors in syria a warm welcome back home. rest assured, we'll do what it takes to defeat every ounce and every last person within the isis madness and defend our people from radical islamic terrorism. i commend the 30 other nations who are already contributing
12:16 pm
troops to this vital effort. it's a different effort than we had initially. but totally vital. in recent months, germany, the united arab emirates and saudi arabia have all made commitments. this is a shared fight. we do it together. if we don't do it together, it can never be the same. everyone must do their part and contribute their fair share. we must also recognize that immigration security is national security. and that foreign fighters must not gain access into our nations. we've been extremely tough on people that we think can be in
12:17 pm
any way working with or even be a part of radical islamic terror. been very, very tough on that. i hope every other nation is, too. i just want to thank everybody in this room, this is a special group of brilliant people. it's been an honor to work with you. we will continue to work with you because unfortunately this is not going to be something that as brilliant as our military is knocking out the big, big sections, they'll still have tiny sections. can be so dangerous. i just want to thank everybody having the coalition, having the partnership because it's really a partnership. with you it's been my honor. our military is incredible. and your militaries have been incredible. so it's an honor to work with you. we will be working with you for many years to come. i said that unfortunately.
12:18 pm
but that's the way it goes. we will work together for many years to come. it will get smaller and smaller and smaller. some day maybe we won't have to think about this problem. it's so prevalent today. thank you all very much. it's a great honor to be here? >> shepard: the president talking on the global coalition to defeat isis. context is important. last week, the heads of intelligence testified before congress that it was their assessment that should the united states troops be pulled out of syria, that isis would be able to reconstitute and could become a problem and retake territory and cause problems throughout the region and beyond in a matter of months if the united states troops were removed. further, we know that the president had been advised by his intel leaders not to remove them. in addition we know that the president was on a telephone
12:19 pm
call with president erdogan of turkey and it was after that phone call that the president made the decision, did not inform the pentagon or any of his leaders prior to doing so. when the intelligence leaders spoke against what the president had done, he said, and i quote "the intelligence people seem to be passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of iran. they are wrong." he suggested that some of them needed to go back to school and that he knows better. in addition, general joseph votel on isis in syria said that he, who is in charge of the region, was not consulted on this decision. let's turn to michael singh from the national security council. he's now managing director of the washington institute which works to secure american interests in the middle east. nice to see you, michael. >> good to see you. >> shepard: the intel advisers to the president said they were basing their assessment on the facts on the ground. what was the president basing
12:20 pm
his assessment on aside from the telephone call from erdogan? >> well, shep, i think that what the president said in that speech there is true. in fact, the u.s. military and coalition partners have had tremendous success rolling back isis, denying it that territory that it once liberated. the concern of the intelligence community, of other u.s. policy makers is two fold. isis now moving into more of an insurgency or terrorism role, and that can itself be difficult to deal with. so they're nervous about saying isis defeated when we may see terrorist attacks emanating from isis. second, the gains that we made are reversible. if we take our troops out of syria, the concern is that isis could essentially regain quite a bit of that territory. the president, you know, has talked about removing troops from wars.
12:21 pm
he's eager for partners to take on burdens and so forth. that's also part of the context for the way he talks about it. he doesn't like the permanent deployment or as he said in the state of the union, endless war. >> shepard: so the question is, where is the influence coming from? the bigger question is, are the russians influencing erdogan and is this why this is happen something. >> may be true. but there's a longstanding position for president trump -- >> shepard: no doubt about that. >> let's bring the troops home, this is different than what we're doing in 2003. our partners are doing most of the fighting. i consider these things to be sustainable. not things we can't sustain. >> michael singh, thank you. a man accused of kidnapping jayme closs in wisconsin in

warming shows no signs of stopping. that's according to the scientists at nasa who say last year was the fourth warmest year on record behind only the previous three years. nasa released this animation that shows how temperatures around the world have increased since the late 1800s. nasa's report mirrors those that we've seen from other respected institutions around the world. another chart shows how temperatures have risen. those first four lines on the chart are the previous studies and the red line is the new nasa study. this shows an increase of about 2 degrees. nasa reports that that is enough to make the weather a lot worse. to understand this completely, it helps to recognize that these temperatures are an average and that, of course, some areas may be cooler. winter is not vanishing. there will still be pleasant beach days. overall, planet earth is heating up and climate is changing. if no change is made, seas will

[applause] much work remains to be done. but my relationship with kim jong-un is a good one. >> shepard: the president reminded that american hostages have come home, that north korea has stopped nuclear tests and missile launches. the second meeting follows president trump and dictator
12:36 pm
kim's summit last june. observers say there's no timeline or specifics on how to denuclearize. last week, the director of national intelligence, dan coats, testified before congress that north korea will likely not give up their nuclear arsenal. >> we currently assess that north korea will seek to retain its wmb capabilities and unlikely to give up their nuclear weapons and production capabilities because its leaders ultimately view nuclear weapons as critical to regime survival. >> shepard: the associated press reported yesterday citing united nations officials that north korea's nuclear programs remain intact. john roberts is live on the north lawn. >> it's true, there's no tests or ballistic missile tests since the president started his tough
12:37 pm
talk against kim jong-un and since the two met in singapore last june, they do seem to have established a pretty good leader-to-leader relationship. it's true that north korea has taken no concrete steps to giving up their program. mike morale from the c.i.a. has been critical of the president from time to time in the past said at this meeting, the president needs to get something concrete on denuclearization, something more than end of testing. listen here. >> what the president has to do at the second summit is incentivize or make clear to kim that he has to move towards negotiations or he won't get another summit. my biggest concern is that he will cut a deal with kim on icbms that threatened the united states and not worry so much about the nuclear weapons that threaten the region. >> president trump says he's goal is complete
12:38 pm
denuclearization of the korean peninsula. unclear at this point how he's going to get there. also, shep, he announced the meeting with kim jong-un on february 27 and 28 in vietnam. he may tack on at the end of it a meeting with the chinese president xi jinping. >> shepard: john roberts live. thank you. more on the president's state of the union address. the president calling -- also criticizing ridiculous partisan investigations. >> if there's going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. >> shepard: that's factually incorrect. those two things can co-exist. today the house intelligence chairman, democrat adam schiff of california announced his plans for investigating president trump. back to john at the white house. the investigations appear to be ratcheting up. >> yeah, what shifted today is a finger in the eye to the president. it was in response to what he said last night.
12:39 pm
schiff has vowed for a long time that if he got in the investigation wing that they would flood. not only will he be investigating the president and any potential connections to russia, but the president's personal financial dealings as well. listen here. >> we'll investigate an incredible allegation that financial interests or other interests are driving the decision making of the president or anyone in the administration. the american people have a right to know and have a need to know that their president is acting on their behalf and not for some other reason that pertains to any critical allegations of leverage by the russians or the saudis or anyone else. >> a couple of hours ago, i was in the roosevelt room with president trump. he was talking about his nominee
12:40 pm
to head the world bank. i asked the president about what schiff said. >> he has no basis to do that. he's a political hack who is trying to build a name for himself and i think that's fine. that's what they do. there would be no reason to do that. no other politician has to go through that. it's called presidential harassment. it's unfortunate. it really does hurt our country. >> the president went on to say he does appreciate what many people, including some democrats have said about his speech last night. for example, delaware democratic senator chris coons said he heard a lot in the speech that he thinks he can work with the president on. we'll see how it goes. >> shepard: president trump laid out his plans to congress last night. he will need lawmakers to help them happen. mike emanuel is live with more. >> good afternoon. the senate democratic leader did not sound impressed. >> the president's speech was like a 90-minute performance of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde.
12:41 pm
calling for calmty but lacing it throughout with invective. he played more emphasize on the mr. hyde than on the dr. jeckyl. >> he also said he hoped he would spend time talking about more topics. >> he promised unity. he would hope he would make proposals on infrastructure. we're ready to go. >> some democrats say they were hoping president trump would have taken the opportunity to issue a course correction, shep. >> shepard: what are you hearing from republicans up there? >> today the senate majority leader picked up on one of the president's central themes. >> once again, the only way this divided congress will be able to choose greatness and deliver significant legislation for the american people is by focusing on as president trump put it
12:42 pm
cooperation, compromise and the common good. that will need to be our motto moving forward. >> as bipartisan lawmakers are trying to come up with a deal on border security, one republican said he was impressed the president did not include a precise money demand. >> he didn't talk about money. i thought that was interesting. that's an attempt to show firmness of principle and flexibility towards consensus. whether or not we get there, i don't know. >> nine days from another funding deadline. >> shepard: mike emanuel on capitol hill. we're hearing reaction from countries that. president trump called out in his speech, countries like iran. jennifer griffin with that. she's live at the pentagon. jennifer? >> shep, during the state of the union, president trump appeared to link the killing of 11 jewish americans at the tree of life

12:44 pm
>> shepard: jennifer, russia made an announcement today. >> sergey lavrov said his country will leave the nuclear treated the after the president put russia on notice for violating the agreement. >> the united states is officially withdrawing from the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty or inf treaty. perhaps we can negotiate a different agreement adding china and others or perhaps we can't. in which case we will outspend and outinnovate all others by far. >> experts fear a new cold war-style arms shep? >> shepard: jennifer griffin reporting live. ahead, a state considering a new law that would raise the legal age to buy cigarettes.

12:50 pm
tribes and only tribes determine tribal citizenship. i had a good conversation with chief baker who is very gracious. we continue to talk about issues and continue to work on issues that matter deeply to indian country and continue to work on things that we both care a lot about. >> senator, why would you list yourself as an american indian on this texas bar application? >> this was about 30 years ago. and i am not a tribal citizen. only tribes determine citizenship. when i was growing up in oklahoma, i learned about my family the same way most people do. my brothers and i learned from our mom and our dad and our brothers and our sisters. they were family stories. but that said, there really is an important distinction of
12:51 pm
tribal citizenship. i'm not a member of a tribe. i have apologized for not being more sensitive to that. it's an important thing. >> the president made the case that used this part of your background to get ahead. are you saying this is something that you believed about yourself? how do you respond to that criticism, that this was a knowing attempt to use that claim of ancestry? >> that is a claim that has been fully investigated. and it has now been shown completely that nothing about my background ever had anything to do with any job i got in anyplace. it's been fully documented. there's no evidence of it other than -- has nothing to do -- >> are there more documents or forms like this out there that you have listed yourself as that could come out?
12:52 pm
>> this is who i grew up believing with my brothers. this is our family story. it's all consistent from that point in time. but as i said, it's important to note i'm not a tribal citizen and i should have been more mindful of the distinction with tribal citizenship and tribal sovereignty. that's why i apologized to chief baker and why i made a very public apology about it. >> could there be other documents out there with you identifying as an american indian? >> all i know is during this time period, this is consistent with what i did because it was based on my understanding from my family stories, but family stories are not the same as
12:53 pm
