it's been a confluence of conflict between east and west in the mideast. has been for years. for decades. so russia will have, i think at the end of the day russia rightfully will demand to have a presence in the mideast. that's something i think we need to acknowledge and we will. but we also have to be able to go forward and say, look, what russia wants with the united states is some form of military cooperation. they understand that in any type of conflict our military would completely overmatch his. without giving away the family jewels, the united states might be able to work out something with russia. that gives us a common picture and a place where we both can achieve. there's no scenario i think the united states can see and that mr. putin can see where assad is in charge in syria over the course of the next couple of years. he's in decline, he's going to go away. >> general, just sticking with you for a moment on the big picture when it comes to syria. obviously the major growing divide between the u.s. and russia doesn't help. but you also have a confusing narrative

if he acts decisively and responsibly, he can set the mideast. >> reporter: a russian spokes person today tells the u.s. it's support for assad is not conditional. here in the u.s., a high stakes crash course, syria now overshadowing north korea. the company at the top of his agenda. >> thank you. >>> as language about the assad regime cannot lead an unbiassed investigation. >> as far as i can tell, congressman nunes killed that. >> the investigation can have a fresh start. >> the work has always continued but now i think the cloud that had settled over the committee's work has been lifted. >> schiff also says he's optimistic about working with the republican taking over the probe. congressman mike konya way of texas, telling reporters here at the capitol he will follow every lead in this investigation no matter how long it takes. lester? >> kasie, thank you. >>> president trump's nominee for the supreme court appears all but certain for confirmation tomorrow after high drama on the senate floor and a historic change by republicans to overcome a democratic blockade. at 49 years old, neil

. >>> now to the tensions rising in mideast russia sending a war missile. nbc richard engel is live. richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. russia is signaling very strongly the washington not to carry out any more attacks against the syrian regime, sending the warship into the mediterranean, saying russia and the united states were one step away from conflict. russia is down playing the damage the military strikes caused to the base claimed to use to launch chemical weapons, u.s. officials say the strike on the base was effective. at 7:40 p.m. launched 60 cruise missiles targeting the air force base. one into the sea the rest direct hits litti hits hitting fuel and weapons doe -- depots. >> it sends a message to assad that using chemical weapons is something he cannot do with impunity. >> reporter: autopsies confirm nerve agents were used both syria and russia deny this. the town has been hit again by conventional airstrikes. the trump administration is suggesting it might go further. >> the united states took a very measured step last night. we

syrian missile strikes and the tough talk that he's used relative to russia, china and certainly mideast and isis helped along that counts >> bombing a place is not a long-term policy. it's not enough to just have air strikes all the time you need to be able to follow up. a lot of republicans don't like to talk about nation building, but that's one of the hard lessons we learned about what happened in a place like afghanistan when you leave it to its own devis. people on the ground to put people in place. that those bad elements like isis, like al-qaeda don't sweep in there and take over and reestablish themselves. >> you're right. we have same situation in libia. we took care of it >> let's talk about healthcare and tax, because we were told by the president, that this week, we're going to find out about this big tax cut. now, the healthcare and the tax cut are tied in we were told when the obamacare repeal and replace fell apart, that they were going to immediately move on to taxes. this is is what the president had to say about this. >> it's evolving, there was never a give-up. the pr

he's tasked with everything from spurring american innovation to solving the mideast peace crisis, you'reight. so, it's a complicated web of influences, from what we hear from sources. you know, we were talking to a senior gop member of congress not long ago, and i asked him that question point blank -- is jared kushner the de facto secretary of state? and he said, no. i mean, he's familiar with these discussions. he said that he does have a lot of influence with the president, the president trusts him implicitly. another source told me that kushner projects the strong air of confidence, seemingly in all areas, even where he doesn't have a lot of knowledge or experience. but what this member of congress appreciated was he listens, he tries to get the knowledge, he reads a lot, and he's listening, apparently, to secretary of state tillerson and secretary of defense mattis. tillerson also meets with the president quite a bit. it seems like every week they're having a meeting. so kushner has a ton of influence, obviously. tillerson and mattis have kind of aligned themselves together. they bo

and the united states is pulling back from the role that has traditionally played in the mideast. host: what is the worst example of that, in your mind? syria is a bad example. they didn't completely withdraw from syria but there was a decision that the united states was not prepared to use direct military force to influence that situation in syria. a lot of people -- even in obama's cabinet, they advocated for a much more forward leaning posture early in the conflict to try to get on top of this and prevent the kind of disaster we have seen. but as a result of what is universally seen as the american pullback from the crisis in syria on the syria that we couldn't affect things in a good way, i think we have seen the greatest humanitarian tragedy and strategic strategy, if you take into account all of the refugee flows into europe and the destabilization that has resulted from that. those are some of the consequences that you would see from a lack of american action. host: rob is a republican. good morning. doing? how are you guys my question to you guys is -- why does nobody talk

trump's executive order blocks anybody and everybody from seven very muslim countries in the mideast's definitely a muslim ban. but hold up. can he do that? since trump signed the order, all of my melanin bros are calling me up like... - dude, this is america. we're, like, the best at religious liberty, okay? he can't get away with this [bleep]. - that's right, he can't get away with this [bleep]. even my constitutional law bros are like... - he might get away with this [bleep]. - oh, that's right. while a ban based explicitly on religion is probably illegal, one based on nation of origin isn't. oh, [bleep]. loophole. by implementing a ban based on people from certain countries, you know, the muslim ones... [traditional middle eastern music] okay, don't play that. people are gonna get scared. good. ...basically, trump can achieve the same goal. it's like this. imagine if this adorable bulldog is a muslim. - assalamu alaikum. - you can't hate this bulldog. that'd be wrong. but put him in this somalia sweater, and it's totally cool to be like, "waterboard that puppy."

also dealing with mexico, brokering mideast peace, and visiting iraq, even before the secretary of statehe there and not the secretary of state today? what's the message the president is sending by having jared kushner be the one to take the trip? >> i don't think there is a binary choice. jared is going to express the commitment of the u.s., of the united states to the government of iraq. meet with u.s. personnel engaged in the campaign. >> so kushner has a lot on his plate. he has been tapped to run the, new office of innovation, tackle the opioid epidemic, revamp criminal justice system and the federal government. quite a bit. >> russian officials are calling the explosion in saint petersberg subway a terror attack. at least 11 people were killed. dozens wounded in the blast beneath the downtown of st. petersburg. police later found a second device in a nearby station diffused that one. the explosion may have been triggered by a suicide bomber possibly from central asia. not confirmed. no group has claimed responsibility. the city declared three days of mourning. >> the death toll in

( laughter ) kushner had to make the trip because the state department is a mess. they haven't even hired a spokesperson yet, so the state department has had to cancel their daily press briefings, which have been a fixture since the eisenhower administration.

and i think this is -- anne said the trump campaign on not getting involved in the mideast said it alwaysur inams have creates more refugees. then he saw a picture on tv. candidate trump understood that perpetual war in the middle east doesn't help make america great again. hope that doesn't change. that's engram. what do you think, mark? >> donald trump runs on a popilous ajendsa. others are hard cover conservatives, and you see this clashing constantly. some of those are some of the conservatives that king is appealing to. so you see the gap for running for president and being president. i do agree it was a successful strike, it's way to earl ato say it was an successful strike. it makes the people distracted from all the other scandals, all the failers of the trump administration. but it doesn't necessarily make sense. if you were someone who voted for trump because you didn't believe in these strikes and believed his political approach and said he engaged, it make look like they stood up to the big power and -- despite what kelly anne conway said, that's what's happening. >> even the

president trump didn't wait, the implications of the missile strikes in the mideast and the relations with russia and our security will talk more about that straight ahead. our overnight coverage continues here on the fox news channel on this important development. >> welcome back to the fox news channel on this morning, chock-full of breaking news. to the strike against syria came as president trump was hosting his chinese counter report cout at mar-a-lago. or they made at the same airbase that the pentagon believes was used last tuesday. president trump expenses decision to make military action. >> my fellow americans, on tuesday syrian dictator bashar al-assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent, assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women, and children. it was a slow and brutal death for so many. even beautiful babies. they were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack. no child of god should ever suffer such horror. tonight i ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield where the chemical attack was launche

countries in the region should not repeat this kind of incident, particularly the countries of the mideastonfirmed once again the overall determination to route isil, that remains in force between us and the war today confirmed fully. apart from fighting terrorism in syria and the region in general, we have a common interest to make sure that we get a political settlement of this very acute crisis in syria, russia, over the past years, has tried to get a compromise, has deployed many efforts in order to do so, and make sure that many of the players inside syria and outside get them around the negotiating table in the context of the u.n. and we confirmed that the corporations would be to try and process this. we in geneva with our american colleagues, we have the platform where the u.s. took part as observers. we have to help the international organization to try to find approaches to make sure that the israel/palestine issue or conflict is looked at and yemen as well. and i think that our joint efforts will not be useless in that respect. we looked at the problem of afghanistan, as you kno

ann culture terrify tweeting trump campaigned on not getting involved in the mideast. then he saw a picture on tv. those who wanted us to middle in the middle east voted on other candidates. sara westwood is here and we have josh rogan. sara, it is startling when you look at donald trump's position not just as the candidate but for years going back to a somewhat similar conundrum that president obama had to figure out, how did he make good on his threat or in the end not, that being a red line in attacking syria for using chemical weapons. so where does he go from here to appease those voices who said he was against intervention. >> that was the million dollar question. he criticized basically every element of the obama administration's foreign policy and now he's really at a crossroads with syria. does he get more involved militarily, diplomatically or is this a one off attack? for president trump this missile strike and maybe the joint address to congress in february are the only two times in his presidency that he's received bipartisan praise. so for now i think the

portfolio and telling us what to do some the onion article said that kushner would push back, fixing the mideast to next week his calendar, on his outlook calendar and that got a lot of sort of chuckles among white house staff. my sources tell me that he didn't see it. whether that's true or not, it does speak to the way in which he has blocked out a lot of the criticism. from inside the white house and from washington more generally, questioning his experience and his capacity to be handling iraq and the middle east and the opioid crisis, just to name a few. >> i've gone on these trips to iraq and afghanistan. you do learn a lot by being on the ground, by interu.s. forces and talking to folks in the iraqi government. it is a little on-the-job training and that causes people outside the white house to say what's going on here. if you think about it, the cheryl needs peel in the white house haa understands these issues, actually would argue the next person who should be would be steve bannon. he is on the national security council committee. it is not something i would like the see but if he is g

that doesn't mean when it comes to north korea or even the mideast that the president will go much beyond what he's already done. it does at least raise, i suspect the administration feels, in the eyes of foreign leaders friendly and unfriendly, the idea that the united states is poised to backup its diplomacy with the potential use of force. in the korean situation, it's always been assumed, as john roberts pointed out, there is no real military option because of the possibility that even using conventional weapons and artillery, the north could launch a devastating attack on south korea. the whole area, 30 miles south of the border, seoul. it was always thought there was no way to counteract it. we once had nuclear forces until about 1991. we had nuclear forces, tactical nuclear weapons in place to deal with it. it's not clear what the president would do or could do but for the longest time, the administrations gave ground to the north in various deals and it didn't work out. mike morrell, cia chief under obama, he was saying trump is making things worse. as if things had gotten better

it seems like major foreign policy for mideast peace, dealing with china, government innovation and nowhat do you make of this? >> what jared kushner has is the ear and trust of the president of the united states. the fact that he would go to iraq to get himself somewhat familiarized with that seems to me to be welcome, because the bottom line is, he is going to have access. he is going to be in a position to say things. the more informed he is by experience the more access he has to experienced people and to situations on the ground, the better. >> it's also -- a smart move for the joint chiefs chairman who invited him to bring him because he has the ear of the president and clearly joint chiefs chairman is very much aware of that. the president during the campaign was talking about taking iraq's oil, i think he said to me there is no iraq, there are no iraqis. if kushner sees things, talks iraq's prime minister, that's to the better. >> exactly. also, places like iraq and syria, anderson, american diplomats have very little role. essentially, the military has taken on almost the entir

from countries from the mideast and africa. barbara starr has more. >> reporter: u.s.ncerned about the threats against aviation that they are seeing not just from isis but also al qaeda in syria and al qaeda in yemen. u.s. intelligence and law enforcement agencies believe that isis and other terror groups have developed innovative ways to plant explosives in electronic devices that can fool airport security screening. the concern is heightened because there is u.s. intelligence suggesting that terrorists have obtained sophisticated airport security equipment to test how well the bombs are concealed. cnn has learned this new intelligence was a significant part of the decision earlier this month to ban laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices from the passenger cabins of planes flying directly to the united states from ten middle eastern and north african airports. demanding instead that they be stored in checked luggage. >> elevated intelligence that we're aware of indicates that terrorist groups continue to target commercial aviation and are aggressive in pursuin

voted for other candidates and this reminder that trump campaigned on not getting involved in the mideastid it always helps our enemies and creates more refugees and then he saw a picture on tv even as far back as 2013, trump said that he was against u.s. involvement in the middle east, and he tweeted then that obama should save his powder and pleading with him sh, do not attack syria. this tweet from a veteran to donald trump, it was a clear sign that his supporters had lost patience with the predecessor and perhaps him, too, and he says, it is no more regime change no, more american dead, no more nation building, and it is what you ran on. even before the u.s. strike, some of trump's alt-right base were selling the idea that the chemical attack on the syrian people was a hoax. blogger michael seanovich said it was a red flag only meant to draw the u.s. into a war. and the #hoax was saying that it was a hoax convinced to keep trump out of syria. and he stayed on the line for over seven hours to slam trump. >> i am moving to argentina, and if trump is going to bring us into war, there is

. >> one of the many hats he's wearing other than solving mideast peace and dealing with mexico and chinaion office. >> yes. >> you were witness to a lot of cuts even after the "the observer," had what you believe was the first profitable quarter he said he wanted more cuts. >> yeah, and i think those impulses really come from his business background. he works in commercial real estate primarily, and commercial real estate is really a transaction-based business, but maybe 10% of it is also about cost-cutting and what jared fundamentally understands is deal making and cost-cutting and beyond that, not a lot about operations. >> couldn't that be good, facing the debt we're facing as a nation right now? >> i think cost-cutting is a piece of it, but it has nothing to do with evolution or growth, and i think he's got to either develop those skill sets or bring in people who already have them. >> were these successful businessmen? do you argue with the notion that he was a success in the business world during the trump administration? >> yes and no. kushner has done a lot of impressive deals, b

the reality here is most of the terroriscan you find attacks from the mideast to europe to unfortunatelyrica, these are attacks generally caused by radical islam. and that's the story they don't want to tell you. so when you put a tweet out that says god is great, that could be anybody of any faith saying that. but when you say allahu akbar, you know what it means and to hide that is propaganda. trish: i was having this debate with our producers earlier. to me, as soon as i saw god is great and i saw his name, i put two and two together there, dan, and so i didn't need to read allahu akbar. i figured he did say allahu akbar and they're translating it. you think the ap is trying to wash this over and clean it up and not give it an islamic taint in any way? >> yeah, they do this for all victim groups. they don't want to ever make them look bad. we saw it last week with spicer. spicer makes a holocaust gaffe, which is bad, but led the evening news on all three broadcast networks. then you have the attack on coptic christians on palm sunday. it didn't leave the networks, they didn't connect

ambassador to syria, iraq and several other countries in the mideast. ambassador, thank you for being with us. we described some of the complexities here for the secretary of state as rex tillerson does head to russia. what do you think he'll be able to get out of russia in his talks? >> well, first, thanks for having me, richard. i'm very pleased to hear the secretar speak out clearly in criticism of russia. we need to do that as they push us on alleged violations of syria's sovereignty. we need to remind them and the world that they are backing a mass murder er who used chemica weapons against his own people. iranians suffered chemical attacks during the iraq/rather thannian war and they won't like it that their regime is backing someone else using chemical weapons. but we got to get out of a defensive crouch here. and the statements i've been hearing from nikki haley, rex tillerson and mcmaster, we're framing it the right way. >> it's difficult for any young administration as they deal with world powers. as we hit day 80 for this trump administration
