gen. and secretary of the department of homeland security, the two cabinet officials charged with enforcing session 1373 to utilize legal authority to enforce the statute. including authority to place conditions on grants with compliance with the law 1373, it does not rewrite the law, it does not instruct justice or dhs to engage in unconstitutional activity. the executive order does just the opposite. at every turn the order states the order shall be implemented consistent with law and the atty. gen. has reconfirmed in court and directive to the department. the district court aired in three fundamental respects. the first is the district court enjoying the order before any action was taken under it a directive to two cabinet officials to use their discretion to impose grant locations where appropriate. none of that happened. because none of it happened, but court should view this as a facial challenge to the executive order. there is no as applied conduct to review the appropriate standar

gen. dunford: i am joined by [indiscernible] and our british attache. secretary mattis just outlined the policy and parameters in syria. in 9:00 p.m. eastern standard time, french, british and u.s. forces struck targets in syria of president trump's objective. our forces were integrated throughout the planning and execution of the operation. the targets that were struck and destroyed were specifically associated with the syrian regime's chemical weapons program. we also selected targets that would minimize the risk to innocent civilians. the first target was a scientific research center located in the greater damascus area. this military facility was a syrian center for research, development, production, and testing of chemical and biological warfare technology. the second target was a chemical weapons storage facility west of homs. we assessed this was the primary location of syrian sarin and precursor production equipment. the third target contained both chemical weapons equipment storag

gen. dunford: we did have initial surface activity from the syrian regime, that is the only retaliatory action we are aware of at this time. the nature of the operation, we completed targets that were assigned from u.s. central command. those operations are complete. reporter: general dunford and secretary mattis, could you talk a little bit more about your concerns you expressed earlier in the week about russian escalation? general dunford, were you able to talk to your russian counterparts? what are your concerns about escalation? are you committed to ask your british counterpart a question? i would like to know the sense of your government about the situation with the skripals and how russian involvement influence your role -- your decision to enter this coalition this evening. gen. dunford: let me address the last point first. our attaches were kind enough to join us tonight. they will not get out in front of their president and prime minister respectively. national messages will be pr

gen. dunford: to be clear, the only communications that took place specifically associated with this operation before the targets were struck was the normal deconfliction of the airspace, the procedures that are in place for all of our operations in syria. reporter: general dunford, you mentioned the syrian air defenses had engaged. the syrian state tv says they shot down 13 tomahawk missiles. can you refute that? gen. dunford: jennifer, i cannot tell you the results. the time on target was about an hour ago and we came straight up here to give you the best information we have right now. tomorrow morning, we will get you a more detailed operational update in some of the details. those details are not available to us right now. reporter: the airstrikes are over? gen. dunford: this wave of airstrikes is over. that is why we are out here speaking to you now. reporter: secretary mattis, i for this strike. in your testimony the other day it sounded like you were saying. reporter: secretary matt

gen. mckenzie: as of right now, we are not aware of any civilian casualties. i would also note, as i said in my prepared remark, the syrians a shot 40 large missiles into the air last night. those missiles came down somewhere. that is a part of this equation. right now, we have no reporting of any civilian casualties against any of the targets we struck. we will continue to look at this closely. the first part of your question, particularly the barsa facility is a core site for them. it does not exist anymore. they have lost a lot of equipment and material. i think the words cripple and degrade are accurate words. mattis said he was convinced that fluorine was used, he is still waiting on sarah and -- on saran. what evidence do you have of both? also the opcw is on the ground now collecting information. .> we are still assessing as the secretary said last night he is confident of the evidence we already had which is why he recommended the strikes last night. we are still assessing and gett

gen.lapper: thank you. thank you, david, for a gracious and generous introduction. i appreciate that. first of all, i was very gratified to know that people are engaged in serious study and analysis of disinformation. that is encouraging to me. i certainly want to thank the sponsors for this. some i had the privilege of meeting before this. i am also in the course of amking to some people -- i now very intimidated, because clearly there are a lot of experts on this subject that know a lot more about it than i do. i am reminded about the old line, some people appear bright until you hear them speak. [laughter] that doesn't happen here. mepublisher would be mad at if i did not mention the fact that i am publishing a book, along with a lot of other people. sim comey comes out with hi later this month. john mccain is coming out with a book next month. mine is due out around the 15th of may or so. the main lesson i learned from writing a book, i would never write another one.

gen. mckenzie: as of right now, we are not aware of any civilian casualties. i would also note, as i said in my prepared remark, the syrians shot 40 large missiles into the air last night. those missiles came down somewhere, so we should recognize that is a part of this equation. but right now, we have no reporting of any civilian casualties against any of the targets we struck. and we will continue to look at this closely as we go ahead. the first part of your question, particularly the barsa facility is a core site for them. as you can see from the graphic it does not exist anymore. , they have lost a lot of equipment and material. it is going to have a significant effect on them. i think the words cripple and degrade are accurate words. reporter: secretary mattis said that chlorineed was used and he is still waiting on sarin. he also said he is confident the syrian regime mounted these attacks. what evidence do you have of both, of the chlorine and of the syrian attack. and also the opc

gen. mattuis: military force overseas to defend the united states national interest. the united states pres. trump: pres. trump: in averting last year, in response to a chemical weapons attack in -- we targetedlians, the military base from which the weapons were delivered. earlier today, president trump directed the u.s. military to conduct operations in consonance with our allies to destroy the syrian regime chemical weapons research development and production facility. france, the united kingdom, and the united states conducted an attack. clearly, the assad regime did not get the message last year. this time, our allies and we have struck partners. together we have sent a clear message to assad and his murderous attendance that they should not perpetrate another chemical weapons attack for which they will be held accountable. the 70 nations in the defeat isis coalition remains committed to defeating isis in syria. the strike tonight separately demonstrates international resolve to preven

gen. o'shaughnessy: distinguish members of the committee, i'm honored to meet with you today as the presidents nominee to be the commander of the northern command and aerospace defense command. i would like to thank the secretary mattis, and general dunford. i would like to thank my good friend lori robinson for phenomenal leadership over years of service. i would like to express my thoughts and prayers for senator mccain and his family in light of his surgery. it is a privilege to be sitting here with phil davison. i look forward to working closely with him. i would like to introduce the committee to my family, as this committee knows so well, we ask a lot of our military families. i would not be here if it were not for the support of the love of my life and my son. my wife is the daughter of a air force fireman. she has been part of the air force her entire life and has endured countless moves and separations as she supports her fellow spouses and families. sam just turned 11, is in the

gen. o'shaughnessy: she has. i would say with high confidence that i believe the ground basement defense system in place has the ability to defend against a ballistic missile strike. i well as the current, and have a high sense of confidence that we can defend against the north korean ballistic missile. sen. inhofe: several of us were also up in greeley, alaska. it is disturbing to me that nine years ago, we pulled the rug out under the czech republic and poland. we did away with their program that i think is instrumental in both. is true that during the obama administration we were down to 30 ground-based inter-. we were planning for 20 more. do you feel that is the right steps to be taken? gen. o'shaughnessy: i do and i would take the opportunity to thank the committee for the great support. theink the additional 20 is exact path we should be taking. sen. inhofe: senator reid? sen. reed: thank you. again i look forward to working with you. several of your predecessors said that we would

. >> you are gen-z.ou started your own company and your company talks to brands about how to reach people just like you in generation z. so tell me, what are some of the big things you tell brands who want to get to sell to someone like you? >> the biggest thing is that gen-z grew up on their smartphones so they can see through the bs very quickly. they will immediately skip through ads. they are in tune with identifying what's an ad and what's not. and that's why people have to -- or brands have to have more native ads. >> and what about influencers, right? who get paid. does the bs button go up for that or no? >> gen-z can easily identify if it's a product placement or a sponsorship. and ftc is cracking down on making sure the influencers are showing that it's a sponsored post. and so kids obviously can see through that. some of the influencers who don't have the right partnerships and just try to make as much money as possible will build a very poor brand over the years because their fans are going to

gen. sessions: senator murkowski, thank you for raising that. i have heard that before i was confirmed. you and i talked about it. i have traveled the country meeting with u.s. attorneys. i hear it a lot in their districts. i just came back from albuquerque. we talked about the navajo tribal lands and the problems they have. this budget, the president's is frugal, buty has more for the tribal issues t han even the 2018 budget. it does it the way you suggested, through set asides. 7% set aside is recommended that the office of justice programs. would be set aside for tribal individuals, and 5% of the crime victims fund. i believe congress has not yet gotten to those numbers, but i do agree with you that it is a very difficult situation and alaska has a particularly unusual situation without having specific tribal lands that receive specific funds from the government. i will be glad to continue to work with you on it. sen. murkowski: that's why so many of these for -- funds, the dna backlogs

gen. spoehr: changing gears, at the end of the cold war, the u.s. army active component was 780,000 soldiers. 2017, the active army was 476,000. in 2018, the army was authorized to grow. then in the 2019 president's budget, he requests an active-duty size of 487,500. growth of another 4000. steady growth, fairly modest. two-year growth of 11,500. it is coming at the same time people in congress and elsewhere are saying the services are really going to have a hard time recruiting to these numbers and that maybe it does not even make sense to increase the size of the army if they cannot recruit to it. variety of factors playing into that. six months into 2018, i was wondering how recruiting is looking in 2018 and whether you anticipate the army being able to recruit that they need to. sec. esper: very good question. first of all, we are on track. i'm confident we will meet our goals. our retention rates are higher than they have ever been. that also take some pressure off the recruiting end

gen. myers: that is a big question. i don't think anybody really knows. i hope secretary mattisrr is t that they do get the message, but the regime seems to be impervious to other messages, and brutal as they have bee it is hard to think that one airstrike this time without putting anybody in danger in terms of the british, the french, or the americans -- they may wonder how stalwart we are in this. that was one of the criticisms of the missile strike in sudan in, i think it was 1998. ry qaeda looked at that and said, you are not erious. i guess we will see. i don't think it will be enough unless there is a strategy that follows on to the strike. f ura: do you see any sign wider strategy from the trump administration in syria? gen. myers: well, not publicly, that is for sure. a i don't haess to what might be happening privately, but publicly there is no sign of it. the conversation is kind of going both ways -- either getting out or staying, that sort of thing. tdon't think we know s point

gen. spoehr: just a follow-up on that, we are six months into the fiscal year in the army and other services. lots of times we build a schedule, a robotic vehicle next year, based on our optimistic view of the world. if we get into another situation in 2019 where the money does not flow until the third quarter, does that put any of this at risk? sec. esper: you always have to manage the risk. you are right, we are six months into the fiscal year and we will see our money soon. that is why we ask for additional flex ability to spend some of that money. i believe that will be coming. with regard to the modernization money, that is three-your money, so we had to spend it well. i'm assuming the budget agreement with regard to fy 19 will come through. what we have to do is continue to look beyond 19 because these are multi-your programs, and make sure we are doing everything we can internally to reform any number of things, processes, how we do service contracts, how we stop our headquarters, b

gen.oretta lynch and the investigation was mishandled and politically motivated. >> those were the critical emails and the hillary clinton investigation and jim comey didn't pursue this was how can you be socialist with everyone associated with trump's campaign and bend over backwards time and time again, to not be after obstruction. neil: more on that. 10 minutes after the top of the hour and attacked with guns and explosives, the un team inspecting syrian chemical site will try again today after coming under attack. live overseas with the push for more security to access that area and donald trump getting key countries back to the negotiating table. he is backing it up on a big way and turning heads in washington and hillary clinton's approval rating hits an all-time low and you will never guess what she is blaming it on. whoooo. when it comes to travel, i sweat the details. late checkout... ...down-alternative pillows... ...and of course, price. tripadvisor helps you book a... ...hotel
