>> i think you heard nikki haley call out russia. there is blood on russia's hands. you will see congress on the coming days call on the united nations to act and condemn in the strongest terms possible, the murderous activities of the assad regime. we'll be calling on the assad regime to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. this is a despicable act and this administration, administrations around the world cannot sit idly by and do nothing. >> listen to these strong words from nikki haley earlier today. >> reporter: russia cannot escape responsibility for this. in facts, if russia had been fulfilling their responsibility, there would not be any chemical weapons left for assad to use. >>> senator, how do you explain tough condemnation of russia and its support for assad as well as the president's silence when it comes to russia, he doesn't even mention russia's involvement in syria. >> what i think is clear is that nikki haley, the administration is calling on the administration to act in the strongest way possible and build a coalition that can prot

did you hear a position policy from nikki haley just now. >> certainly. dor haley there talking in more direct and more explicit and sharp er words against russa than the president has used himself. she said if russia has the influence on syria as they say they have, we need to see them use it. as arwa said, no doubt, if he repeats that message or echoes that word in the white house in about an hour or so's time that will be significant. if he doesn't, that will be significant as well. the president's posture towards russia has been muted and friendly. and certainly has not followed what nikki haley and others have said here. i think the words from the ambassador, she's speaking for the united states. she's offering the policy of the united states here. i think it's incredibly significant. again will the president follow suit here or will he not. if he does not, i think we know -- we still have so much uncertainty about the trump doctorate here. he was so critical of the obama one, we'll see if he has one himself. >> but when you listen to the totality of

let's welcome the united states ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley. ambassador haley thanks so much for joining us. you said on friday that the united states is quote prepared to do more in syria but i want to understand what the threshold might be for additional military action. it would be the use of chemical weapons or could even a conventional attack on civilians be the trigger. >> what happened this week was really one of the president's finest hours. to sit and watch all of the conversations and how he listened to each and every member of his security council and asked all the right questions. he wanted to know exactly what facts and evidence was. he wanted to know what the options were, what the risks were. and the political strategy and solution side of it. after all of that he made a very, you know, strong decision and i think it was one that was very good for the world. what i can tell you now is, this is how he responded to the chemical attack in syria. i was trying to give warning and notice to the members of the security council and the in

. >>> nikki haley is speaking right now. let's listen in for just a bit. >> that changed last night. as i warped warned on wednesda the international community fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times when states are compelled to take their own action. the indiscriminate use of we chemical weapons against innocent civilians is one of those times. the united states will not stand by when chemical weapons are used. sit in our security interest to prevent the spread and use of chemical weapons. our military destroyed the airfield from which this week's chemical strike took place. we were fully justified in doing so. the moral stain of the assad regime could no longer go unanswered. his crimes against humanity could no longer be met with empty words. it was time to say, enough. but not only say it, it was time to act. bashar al assad must never use chical weans again ever. now, while the syrian regime is responsible for the chemical weapons' attack, it is not the only guilty party. the iranian government bears a he

nikki haley gave a similar kind of speech. donald trump and barack obama neither one of them have taken aggressive action to remove assad. has that now changed? >> that's a fascinating question, let's be honest, the united states under the obama administration lost credibility. the united states drew a red line with president obama about chemical weapons attacks, but he did not knowdo anything with assad. a lot of inaction by the obama administration. i think what we heard from nikki haley i think the question is does the trump administration want to end up in the same box with having the word look at what the united states says it's just words. this is a decision that the president will make by listening what does it mean with steve bannon, eyebrows raised, from chief political strategist in the administration someone who thinks george w. bush made a mistake in iraq. who doesn't think that it is and should be worried about its economy. the white house says he was there to help former national security adviser michael flynn to

some tough words there by nikki haley.ourse, president trump did accuse president obama of not doing the right thing. we're looking at the white house where we are expecting the king of jordan, king abdullah, to pull up shortly. i'm looking over my shoulder at the white house. no action yet. the motorcade hasn't arrived yet but it'll happen. kristen welker is at the white house following yet another story. that is that trump adviser steven bannon has been removed from his role on the principal's committee of the national security council. something unusual from the beginning. it's never been done, even in very political white houses. even with very political advisers to white houses. i'm joined on the set by jennifer ruben, an opinion writer for the "washington post." your take? >> several things. first of all, it is right and positive that steve bannon is leaving the national security council. i've been as critical as anyone regarding this administration. this is the first sign in a long time of grownup sentiment taking h

ambassador nikki haley this morning at 9:00 a.m.tern on cnn. >>> some top british officials are lending their support to the u.s. actions in syria. now one of them, the defense secretary, says that last week's chemical attack is russia's fault. if vladimir putin needs to step up and stop bashar al assad. we will break down the comments next. >>> political satire political baldwin back on "snl" and slamming the president and taking out fox news in the process. >> i even went as far as saying, quote, bill o'reilly did nothing wrong. >> that's good. >> that's based upon -- >> a hunch. just a hunch. t dust and allerges get between you and life's beautiful moments. flonase allergy relief delivers more complete relief. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances that cause all your symptoms, including nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes. flonase is an allergy nasal spray that works even beyond the nose. so you can enjoy every beautiful moment to the fullest. flonase. 6>1 changes everything. yet up 90% fall short in getting key n

nikki haley decided to say what she said on her own. but none that of is integrated with what the white house will or won't do. so, you know, it's all -- everybody is freelancing. and the guy at the charge only cares about one thing, himself. >> and max, when you have a president who doesn't have a position, which is not common on most issues, the strong people in an administration do have a position, and they step forward. especially because no one is telling them not to. and that's what you saw at the united nations today. you saw a u.n. ambassador who stood up and said this is what i think, and this is what i believe the united states should represent here. and she didn't have to check with rex tillerson. apparently. why can't rex tillerson sound like nikki haley? >> i think, lawrence, there is no question. i wouldn't be quite so hard on tillerson as you have been. but i will say he has a steep learning curve. he clearly doesn't know the job. and anybody who thinks being ceo of exxonmobil translates into being secretary of state has

i don't know what they're doing right there, clemson and nikki haley. david: the cell busted in u.s. is in north carolina, you might think you're out of harm's way, but you're not, everybody is at risk here, steve, we're about to have a trip by the president to saudi arabia. we don't know when, they're holding that close to the vest because of security concerns. >> it's interesting that we could use part of the islamic world to go against a dangerous part of the islamic world, no? >> absolutely. the saudis and the gulf states are terrified what iran is doing and egypt is in the cross-hairs of iran. iran wants to be the dominant power, if they don't resist they will be vassals of iran. david: even though we may be overwrought about iran. the saudis. >> if the saudis want to fix the problem, allegedly a middle east problem, let them do it why let me stick with it we're worried about it happening here and if they get missile technology and put a nuke on top. they could have it here. >> there's a bigger threat to our well-being is a $4 trillion government.

. >> meanwhile nikki haley says the u.s. has multiple priorities in syria and one of them political stability is impossible with assad still as president. >> there's not any sort of option where a political solution is going to happen with assad at the head of the regime. if you look at the actions it's hard to see a government that's peaceful and stable with assad. >> haley is calling out russia and -- for support. the warning of tougher sanctions is not off the table. ahead of this, high stakes meeting with rex tillerson and russian ambassador. >> has anything really changed? let's bring in cnn international correspondent ben wedeman. good morning to you. the air base that was bombed is apparently now back in operation, so did these strikes actually create a deterrent or did the mission fail? >> reporter: well, perhaps they did create a deterrent for another chemical strike like we saw last tuesday which left 89 people dead but looking at the bigger picture, it really hasn't changed the reality inside syria. what we have s

ambassador nikki haley, she said how many more children have to die before russia cares? is there an answer from moscow? >> reporter: well, there hasn't been one yet except to say that the russian foreign ministry has tweet today me this morning texted me this morning saying they regard bashar assad is a -- of an independent country and that's not going to change and following rex tillerson calling on russia to review its support of bashar assad. look, whatever the foreign policy is going to be of the trump administration moving forward when it comes to syria, these are some of the strongest words from trump officials since back in january, the can criticism of russia, how many children have to die before russia cares, donald trump donald trump interestingly he didn't detention russia when he was mentioning this alleged chemical attack in syria, but has put a huge question mark over this whole idea of a reset, saying he wanted to build a better relationship with russia, but if they're contemplating any kind of unilateral action in syria that's going to be bring them butti

. >> but he is the boss of nikki haley. is he's the boss. >> and this white house could benefit from having a strong woman's voice out there leading on something. >> my point is don't try to make it like, you do what i tell you to do which is a little bit how it came out. >> just because she's a woman, i don't think we should -- >> that's right. i just think she's a solid voice. >> you're making something out of nothing with the whole -- >> i said when you have somebody who is credible, who seems to know what she's talking about, and who is verbal, compared to a self-muted secretary of state, you do that at your own risk. >> i'm moving to the next topic. growing backlash today from democrats on president obama's big payday from wall street, getting paid $400,000 to speak at a conference, paid for by a wall street firm. >> i think at a time when people are so frustrated with the power of wall street and the big money interests, i think it is unfortunate that president obama is doing this. >> senator warren, what do you think

ambassador nikki haley here at 9:00 a.m.cnn. >>> in wisconsin, a man on the loose there armed with several high-end handguns and rifles and threatening to use them against public official or at a school and detail is hi rage in 161-page manifesto he sent to the president. the fbi is on a massive manhunt for this man. look at him there. jofs jakubowski. he is armed and dangerous investigators say and he mailed his manifesto the same day on tuesday. >> they say it includes anti-religious views and grievances against the government. officers believe he set a car on fire a short distance away from the gunshot. they have since set up patrols at churches and schools across the state. >>> outrage in venezuela. thousands of people filled the streets to protest the government. police fired tear gas into the crowds while demonstrators threw rocks. the crowds are angry at the country's president and current members of supreme court. they say those leaders are repressing them and violating human rights. >>> ahead, more news out of egypt

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley during today's u.n.ncil meeting, strongly criticizing the role that the iranians were playing in the continuing conflict here in the middle east. yesterday, the secretary of state rex tillerson warned about the unchecked iran. this. >> iran is the world? leading state sponsor of terrorism and is responsible for intensifying multiple conflicts and underminingmi u.s. interest. in countries such as syria, yemen, iraq, and lebanon. and continuing to support attacks against israel. and unchecked iran has a potential to travel thel same path as north korea. and it take the world along with it. >> sean: n joining us now it's reaction is the president of the jerusalem center for public affairs, dore gold. good to see you. great to to to be back in youre country. let's get your reaction. the united nations, constantly, and of the american anti-semitic on display again today. nikki haley tried to drive the discussion back to the number one statee sponsor of terror. the irani and hezbollah, they are fermenting all

i think this is a good plus for nikki haley.itical juice, access to the president, the 200 members of the united nations like that. they like the u.n. ambassador to be a player. i would expect that what russia and china said would be the most if the is any message from the russn ambassador, chinese ambassador on north korea, especially the chinese ambassador on north korea, because tuesday is the anniversary in north korea of the korean people's army. and i bet you they will do something. a missile test or a nuclear test. they are up to something. and i think it is important that their be a coordinated response, especially from the five permanent members of the u.n. security council. russia, china, britain, france and the u.s. and i know there are 15 but the main ones are the five permanent. >> and andrea mitchell, saying they are meeting prior to lunch with the president with members of congress over at blair house for coffee. so is it north korea and russia, are those the main sticking points or is it mostly north korea focus

nikki haley's attitude clearly shows this an independent administration. and it send a message to putin that we are not to be messed with, and also with the chinese premiere dealing with north korea. the nature of how we are going to behave on the field and the arguments that wield bend over for russia, this eliminated that concern. cheryl: eric, you ju ce back. i promise we'll get questions out to you. president trump meeting with the chinese president. the latest next. when you're close to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment? if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, you can embrace the chance of completely clear skin with taltz. taltz is proven to give you a chance at completely clear skin. with taltz, up to 90% of patients had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. in fact, 4 out of 10 even achieved completely clear skin. do not use if you are allergic to taltz. before starting you should be checked for tuberculosis. taltz may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them.

ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley, she was asked about regime change. she didn't exactingly say that the u.s. policy was to pursue regime change in syria, but essentially that all parties would soon realize that bashar al assad cannot stay the commander in chief, the leader of syria. however rex tillerson the u.s. secretary of state when asked a couple of days after the strike if there is a change in u.s.'s policy toward syria, he said no change. so it doesn't sound like they're singing from the same hymn sheet. what do you make of that? >> this is an administration full of conflicts. when the secretary of state was asked, he said our first and foremost priority is to defeat isis. after we defeat isis, we'll pay more attention to syria and we try to resolve the syrian conflict. he didn't say militarily regime change, but he said political transition in syria means the end of the assad regime as we know it. this is a very complex situation. it's been six years. assad is there to stay. russia is the most dominant powers. the reality is, the question on th

but nikki haley, the u.s.mbassador to the united nations has become a prominent face of the trump administration in its first 100 days. one of the most outspoken foreign policy figures defending his world view. cnn jamie is joining me now. you just sad down for a one-on-one interview with nikki haley. fascinating. what did she tell you? >> we talked about a lot of things. we talked about how she grew up in a very small town in south carolina. we talked about her relationship with donald trump, how much they talk to each other. more than you would expect. and about her relationship with secretary of state rex tillerson since she has taken on such a big part of the spotlight. but i think where we really started is that no one expected her to really be the star of this cabinet. >> from condemning the chemical attacks in syria. >> look at those pictures. >> to her aggressive stance on regime change. >> strengthening assad will only lead to more murders. >> u.n. ambassador nikki haley has taken center stage as the

policy was because of the confusion with tillerson versus nikki haley.o diplomacy is the highest form of politics in some way. every word matters. i think you're seeing that fact. lavrov, i think, wanted to point out the fact that the united states had used different words, tillerson, trump, nikki haley. i'm interested to know when you hear this tough talk out of russia. one thing that we know is donald trump believes very strongly in sort of being the tough guy, backing up what he says and with action. so i was in syria last week and throughout the campaign he said to say america isn't feared anymore. we need to be respected and feared at some level and these countries need to know they won't get a free pass when they say and do something. this is a test with a very large country, and someone of geopolitical importance that we can't sort of write off. let's see how the trump policy of i'm going to make good and we're not going to have empty threats and let's see how it works in the face of tough talk from the russians. the answer is we don't know. the t

i think to the point that nikki haley was making at the u.n. earlier what we've heard, russia and its willingness, that's what the obama administration and secretary kerry was doing several years with the united nations continually over 2 1/2 years where russia was obliged to put pressure on assad. every time they were going to do that, they seem less likely to do that now. to echo what clarissa was saying there there isn't the language, there was nothing in the proposed resolution of the united nations that says you must cease and desist. we insist that you don't do this again. there was nothing that this language. it was very much a message without heat. and to president trump's point that he is dealt a weaker hand in syria, because of president obama. certainly, we can see the situation that russia took advantage when president obama didn't back up his red line. so president trump has been left with fewer cards to play with. but the pressure will be on him to deal with it far more astutely than perhaps other issues on his plate because he, t

to herfeet ambassador nikki haley getting to her feet and holding ambassador nikki haley getting tond holding up graphic images of the dead. then, eye—balling her russian counterpart she blasted moscow. if russia has the influence in syria it claims to have we need to see them use it. we need to see them put an end to these horrific acts. how many more children have to die before russia ca res ? today we saw the usual divisions at the security council, the usual deadlock over syria. and the usual inability of the international community, even to agree about basic fa cts o n community, even to agree about basic facts on the ground. this is the deadliest attack in syria after nearly four years. after 2013 the assad regime was supposed to have handed over its chemical weaponses stockpile. but it‘s continued to use banned toxic weapons and experts believe the evidence points to damascus having carried out another war crime. wrecked buildings and ruined cities are usually the grim landmarks, but todayit are usually the grim landmarks, but today it was empty streets and signs that warned

you sat down with nikki haley. what did she tell you?>> we talked about her relationship with donald trump and also secretary of state rex tillerson to see if he minds that she's in the spotlight so much. but you know, she is the rising starve this administration. and no one is more surprised than she is that she's center stage. >> from condemning the chemical attacks in syria -- >> look at those pictures. >> to her aggressive stance on regime change. >> strength ening assad will lead to more murders. >> u.n. ambassador nikki haley has taken center stage as the leading voice of foreign policy in the trump administration. not afraid to speak her mind -- >> for those that don't have our back, we're taking names. >> or contradict her boss. >> russia is trying to show their muscle. i don't think that we can trust them. has he ever said to you, you shouldn't have said something? >> no, he has not. >> are you surprised of that? >> i'm not surprised because he knew that when he hired me that i've made it clear, i didn't want to be a wall flower

nikki haley gave a total contradict over message. mcmaster tried to say they were the same things but that's not true. what she's saying is the assad regime removal is one of the policies. not the second priority. not after isis. not as some part of cease-fire agreement. those two policies are the basic choice that trump has to make. and it's clear that he hasn't made that choice. but again, it's sort of, like, very confusing not just for people in washington, but for people all over the world who want to know is this strike going to be followed up but a big change in u.s. policy or not. >> jeffrey, why isn't the administration on the same page on this? >> well, one of the things that i'd point out here is that the ambassador to the united states nations, no matter who they are, is to a considerable extent a creature of the state department. you can bet ambassador haley did not say what she said without some consultation with the state department. who said what and who approved what i don't know. i know as a matter of course, that's

>> the crucial question is exactly the one you pointed to with nikki haley's comment. strategically, i think, we're all trying to figure out, okay, the strike happened. it does seem to be a one-off. has it changed the strategy? the strategy that the trump -- >> u.s. strategy? >> u.s. strategy. the trump administration came in saying exactly what you're saying. isis is our problem. assad is not. >> yes. >> it seems to have changed, in a sense, back to the obama policy which is, we want to get rid of assad but this is now the trump administration so if you want to get rid of assad, are you willing to stay the course and put military power to bear? are you willing to do more strikes? and if you are, i think that the scenarios that the other guests have outline ready entirely plausible. there's going to be pushback and backlash, not just from the russians, potentially from the syrians, from the iranian allies. remember, there are a bunch of american soldiers in the field in syria, in iraq. trump has actually doubled the number in syria. there are potential targets, not eas

nikki haley shortly and we'll keep an eye on that when it happens. >> nikki haley says that the u.s. is comfortable leaving assad in power and that's not their focus right now and this attack ensues. before we take you there, we do want to take you to the front lines of this attack, but before we show you these images, they are incredibly, incredibly disturbing and our ben wedeman is on the turkey-syria border. what are you seeing, ben? >> reporter: yeah, what we saw just about an hour ago, poppy, was a nuclear biological, chemical mobile laboratory, a turkish one that was passing from this side into syria. the turkish health minister says that turkey has looked at all of the symptoms, examined more than 30 people who were brought from syria into turkey and they say all those symptoms point to that this was a chemical attack. they say they are going to provide their data, their results to the world health organization. now just a couple of hours ago we were at a nearby state hospital where we were able to speak to three of the victims of that attack yesterday. one of them, a 13-year-

nikki haley called assad a war criminal. we will have more of that interview later on in our program. >> president trump announcing the air strikes while meeting in florida with china's president. joining us now live from mar-a-lago with the latest from a trump compound in florida is fox news correspondent kristin fisher. kristin, what's happening on the ground. >> he made his first big military action and presence he showed two things. he is willing to take decisive military action perhaps what his predecessor were not. he also said he is willing to be very flexible and change his stance as situation more in. it was just last week that the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley said that regime changing in syria it was no longer the top priority. this white house and then watched syrian president escalated with a series of escalations culminating with that syrian gas attack. from there, president trump had a series of two meetings with his national security council. they presented him with a series of options, president tr

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley is about to issue an address to the u.n. regarding that attack. now, far the u.s. government has been blaming the leading of the country, bashar al-assad. we will hear if she gets more specific, but expect a blistering speech from nikki haley any minute now. when she begins to speak we will take you back there live. >> julie: right now healthcare on the agenda on capitol hill as house democrat leaders huddle with their caucus today, discussing some fixes to obamacare, this has the president and his team hope to build bipartisan support for tax reform by working with the democrats. joining us now, a democrat from new york, chairman of the democratic caucus. thank you for talking with us. yesterday you said the gop would be better off trying to find a better consensus. what issues are democrats willing to middle republicans in the middle on and what will it take to get the opposing party on board? >> one thing we have to do is stop talking about repeal and replace, and talk about improving the law as it exists right now. that

ambassador nikki haley speaking out at the united nations. let's listen. >> he has committed criminal acts that shocked the conscience of all humanity. the international community has repeatedly expressed its outrage. the joint investigative mechanism has found beyond any doubt that that syrian regina has used chemical weapons against its own people multiple times. on tuesday, the assad regina launched yet another chemical attack on civilians, murdering innocent men, women, and children in the most gruesome way. assad did this because he thought he could get away with it. he thought he could get away with it because he knew russia was have his back. that changed last night. as i warned on wednesday, when the international community consistently failed in its duty to act collectively, there are times when states are compelled to take their own actions. the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons against innocent civilians is one of those times. the united states will not stand by when chemical weapons are used. it is in our vital national secur

ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley, saying that the u.s. is open to doing more, prepared to do more. what exactly would that mean? >> paula, it's interesting that ambassador haley as energetic as she's been, i think we need to probably temper our expectations about what the u.n. will be able to do, but her rhetoric and secretary tillerson's rhetoric points much more towards regime change, but the military action we saw this week was really just a warning to assad to stop gassing his people so there's a bit of a disconnect in the message coming out of the white house versus state and the u.n. >> so much -- there's so much interesting -- the dynamics here are so fascinating, given that this is a president who has long argued we should stay out of foreign entanglements of this variety. steve, thank you. let's bring in matthew dowd. so, world leaders have praised president trump and praised by some former obama officials however members of his own base who don't want us getting involved in more overseas war is up in arms about this. is this a p

he seemed to be taunting nikki haley, the u.s. represent there, by saying we're not going to holdup any fophotos, but what about your air strikes and what they've done to children in mosul. and here's the interesting part. he just said we're not the ones afraid of an independent investigation to this chemical attack, you are afraid, the united states is afraid of an independent investigation into this attack. suffice to say that once russia learns the news of what the pentagon is claiming that they mayor may not know about this attack, we will once again have a fairly strong reaction from russia c russia. >> this tense relationship between the u.s. and russias looks like this's going to get a whole lot worse. >> nikki haley is speaking at the u.n. security council on this strike. let's listen. >> have terrorized its own people. it has murdered hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. it has broken international law and violated numerous u.n. resolutions. it has committed criminal acts that shocked the conscience of all humani

the people of south carolina are embarrassed by nikki haley.0 minutes later, you responded, quote, donald trump, bless your heart. what does that mean? >> it is a polite way to say read between the lines. >> trump did not take it permane personally. naming her the ambassador to the u.n. >> and with secretary of state tillerson. he kept a low profile and you have been out there. any awkwardness? >> i think it is the personality. i think he is very much an executive and thoughtful in his approach and how he moves forward. i'm not afraid to say anything. i'm not easily intimidated. i think we compliment each other well. >> its has however led to speculation that some day haley might like his job or higher office. >> everybody i talk to said does she want to be secretary of state? >> no. >> do you want to be senator? >> no. >> are you going to run for the white house? >> no. >> you are not going to run for white house? >> you know what is amazing. this happened my entire work career. everyone thinks that i'm ambitious. everybody thinks i'm trying t

nikki haley has been in the spotlight a lot.week she took a stance yesterday after russia vetoed a resolution condemning the killings. >> reporter: from condemning the chemical attacks in syria. >> look at those pictures. >> reporter: to her aggressive stance on regime change. >> strengthening assad will only lead to more murderers. >> reporter: u.n. ambassador nikki haley has taken center stage is the voice of policy in the trump administration. >> for those who don't have our back, we're taking names. >> reporter: or contradict her boss. russia is trying to show muscle. i think we should contradict them. >> reporter: has he ever said to you you shouldn't have said something? >> no, he has not. >> reporter: are you surprised. >> i'm not surprised because he knew that when he hired me that i made it clear i didn't want to be a wall flower or talking head. i'm very passionate by nature and he's fine with it. >> reporter: how much is coordinated with the white house and the state department? >> it's always coordinated with the whi

>> nikki haley taking putin to task there.resident trump did not mention russia or putin in his statement. why not, do you think? >> well, i'm not sure why not. look, putin is actively involved and is providing basically cover for assad through his involvement in syria. it's that much more difficult of a situation now on the ground. i thought nikki haley gave a very strong speech and talked about the need for action, and it's time for people not just at the united nations but around the world to say we need to do more. this activity must stop, and it may be important for the united states to step in. the last time with president obama when he first asserted the red line and then ultimately said any attack would have been just a pinprick, that is not the kind of decisive action that would deter additional attacks like assad has been doing now in syria to his own people. >> senator, stay with us. we're going to take a very quick break. i want to talk about the fact that there is this other burgeoning word crisis having to do wit

>> i'm going to say a couple of things about nikki haley.irst, even as a democrat, i appreciate what she's doing on israel at the u.n. number two, north korea. this is really the biggest problem that this country is facing right now is what's going on with north korea. donald trump has a problem with china because he back-tracked when he spoke about taiwan as soon as he came in as president. so he has a bit of a problem here in terms of credibility with the clihinese. we do need china's help. we don't want to go it alone with north korea. >> do you think he's bluffing that he doesn't really mean it? >> yeah. think he does. think in trump's mind he thinks he may be able to go it alone. but going it alone on north korea is nothing that you want to do. you want to have a coalition together. the chinese have a lot of influence over north korea. this is a case where we need the chinese. that's why you haven't seen trump, for example, declare china a currency manipulator which he said he was going to do as soon as he got in. because we actually ne

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley. she was pretty blunt over the weekend saying here on cnn and elsewhere that regime change is essentially going to happen. the secretary of state who is traveling in the region heading to russia tomorrow, he was less direct on that. he said that the focus is still the fight against isis. we talked to a senior administration official earlier this morning who said look, there's not as much difference there as you might think. nikki haley is being more impassionate in the words of this official and the secretary of state is being more reserved. but there's no question that the challenges there are something in the wake of the strikes last week in syria that are weighing heavy on this president. and this administration. but we saw the president early ther morni er this morning, wolf, trying to take that victory lap with his first appointment to the supreme court at the rose garden at the white house. >> oi've always heard the most important thing that a president of the united states does
