U. S. Navy destroyers launched those airstrikes into syria. Ambassador john bolton joins me here in moments. Also tonight President Trump says hes made progress over two days of talks with chinese president xi jinping. I think we have made tremendous progress in our relationship with china. My representatives have been meeting oneonone with their counterparts from china, and its, i think, truly progress has been made. Lou well have political analysis of the critical summit, the syrian airstrikes and much more with leading republicans ed rollins and randy evans. And the senate today confirming judge neil gorsuch as the 113th justice of the Supreme Court. The vote ends a bitter, yearlong political battle that forced republicans to go nuclear in the face of democratic obstructionism. We take that up with the president S Supreme Court adviser, leonard leo. A week filled with historic events, and this is only Donald Trumps 11th week as president of the United States. Good evening, everybody. There hasnt been a more actionpacked week in this country in a very long time. The deluge of events, decisions, issues, inflection points this week would test even the most seasoned presint. But only 11 weeks into his presidency, President Trump is winning praise for his decisive and strong leadership in ordering airstrikes against the syrian air force. Trump is a dramatically different president than his predecessor. President obama never enforced his own red line threats against syrias use of chemical weapons. President trump, for his part, never made a threat, and he immediately enforced as he put it the many lines that Bashar Al Assad crossed. Fox news chief White House Correspondent john roberts with our report. Reporter lou, good evening. The full impact diplomatically and strategically of last nights missile attacks has yet to be felt, but the early indications are President Trump is on a solid footing with his syria policy. I think we have made tremendous progress in our relationship with china. Reporter President Trumps focus this morning was on his chinese guest, president xi jinping. But the white house Spokesman Says the president was gratified at the outcome of last nights misis ill strike. I think hes pleased that we have justified in a proportional response around the world. Reporter the president took action not only in response to the horrific scenes of death and suffering of civilians especially children but also because if assad were to get away with such actions, it may increase the chance the United States could be targeted with chemical weapons. It is in this Vital National security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons. Reporter at the United Nations today, Ambassador Nikki Haley warned bar shower al assad he could get hit again if he doesnt come to heel. The United States took a very measured step last night. We are prepared to do more. But we hope that will not be necessary. Reporter russia, which has a close relationship with assad, has complained loudly in public about the missile strike and flexed its muscle, sending a warship to the area. But sources say beyond that the response has been muted. Publicly, the russians have been suggesting outrage over this, but i understand through diplomatic channels there 457b9 been a lot of blowback. Well, tts ue. I think e restf the world, including russia, understands we took desies, justifiable action based on the just tragic actions that the assad regime took, especially when it comes to small children. Reporter the missiles were flying last night as President Trump was having p dinner with the chinese president. Xi jinping did not mention the strike in brief remarks to the White House Press corps today, but a chinese spokeswoman said, quote we are concerned about the condition Current Conditions in syria. We hope all sides will remain calm. The strike also adds an extra measure of weight to the president s call for china to rein in north Koreas Nuclear program. President trump warned last week if china didnt do something about kim jong uns Nuclear Ambitions, the United States will. But to hear the president tell it today, the budding relationship he has with china may yield positive results. We look forward to being together many times in the future, and i believe lots of very potentially bad problems will be going away. Reporter after the china summit wrapped up, the treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin, said the United States will soon be announcing additional sanctions on syria as part of the effort to stop the attacks. The secretary of state says hes disappointed at rush. s response because it shows theyre still backing assad. Rex tillerson saying hes, quote, disappointed but not surprised. Lou . Lou john roberts reporting. Our first guest says the syrian strikes a wakeup call around the world for honoring agreements with the United States. And joining us tonight, former u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations, American Enterprise institutes senior fellow, john bolton. Ambassador, good to have you here. First, your assessment of the strikes, the presides decision to order those strikes. Well, i think it was based on a limited but important rationale about american National Security when weapons of mass destruction are used by a rogue state like syria. It was a limited and precise strike. It doesnt foreclose possible additional strikes, but it by no means guarantees that the United States wades into the syrian civil war. And even though precise and limited, i think its already had profound impacts around the world for the signal that it sent our adversaries and our potential adversaries in china and russia, in iran and north korea that the obama era of American Foreign policy is over and that the United States is prepared to act swiftly and decisively when our National Security is affected. Lou the president made good on, also, his word that he would not have public discussions about what he would do or when he would do it, and that in and of itself is impressive that he carried out exactly what he said. Well, and in addition, that he did it with the leader of one of the worlds other major powers in for dinner that evening. I mean, a hollywood script writer couldnt do any better than the president order oring a strike and then ordering a strike and then having a steak with xi jinping and letting him know as dessert is being served what he just did. That is a signal china will never forget, and i hope they tell north korea about it. Lou yeah, my guess is the relationship between the two nations north korea and china its a certainty that theyll have a discussion. What is not a certainty is that these talks will amount to any kind of step toward resolution of the north korean threat. Whats it going to take . Well, i think that we are now very, very close to the point where after 25 years of failed, bipartisan, failed efforts to negotiate with north korea which i think were always do yod to failure, the north is very close to getting that objective of deliverable Nuclear Weapons. Thats why theres talk about the possible use of force. A very unattractive option, but preferable to Nuclear Weapons landing on american soil. Thats why i really think the pressures on china even more than before to do what they uniquely can do to stop the North Koreans from progressing further. Lou which is the easier choice or the least difficult for china; that is, in itself to insist to north korea kim jong un that he dismiss his Nuclear Ambitions and whatever weapons he has, or allow the United Stateses to take care of the matter . United states to take care of the matter . Which is more attractive to the chinese . And, obviously, we understand which is the more difficult for the United States. Well, it should be more attractive to the chinese to resolve the problem in the way they say they want, which is they dont want north korea with Nuclear Weapons. And if they want to do it in a prudent fashion, they should work with us to what i think is the only longterm solution. I think weve talked about shortterm solutions for 25 years. The longterm solution which we may not have time for but which we should nonetheless try for is the reunification of the korean peninsula. Thats the way to end north Koreas Nuclear program. Lou well, its one solution, but the twostate, the twokorea policy has been, you know, its been beneficial to both china and the United States, the east and the west, throughout these many years. So i think that we are looking at a very stark proposition; that is, that we either end the threat that north korea poses, or china does. And if they do not, that that in and of itself is a choice. Ambassador, the United Nations has been absent, absent for six years in the syrian conflict. President obama was present but absent, abstaining, if you will. And now President Trump has made it clear he will act. The United Nations takes up real estate and money from this country and several others. Why are we putting up with an inert institution like the United Nations . Why dont we save the money . If this is a nation thats going to be required to stand up for humanitarian values, then what good is the u. N. . Well, i would just like to point out as weve been discussing, last night donald trump acted unilaterally. He didnt consult others as far as we know. He may have given the russians a little bit of advance warning, but he certainly didnt discuss it in the United Nations. And i think that is as much a powerful part of the signal as Everything Else hes done. I think the United Nations is facing a crisis. I think its been long in the making. I think the trump administrations proposed budget cuts are going to bring it to crisis on capitol hill. I think the vote in the Security Council against israel that obama allowed the happen in december has produced a crisis. I think its all going to come together. Its going to be a very difficult year for the u. N. Lou im not worried about a difficult year for the United Nations. Im worried about a difficult year for this country and fo the world. And i really wou like to know, do you think its an institution whose time has passed and that should now head toward the dust bin of history . Look, its a vast and sprawling organization. Thats part of its lou history is replete with such organizations. [laughter] too many things. There are elements of it, particularly in some of the specialized agencies, i do think do good and productive work. Its Political Institutions are grid gridlocked or failed, the general assembly, the Human Rights Council lou let me put it this way, why dont we have it stamped when we send aid around the world, good things, stamped us of a on the side of the carton instead of u. N. . Why blue helmets and not good old, you know, green and desert tan american helmets . Well, youre preaching to the choir is since im an alumnus of the u. S. Agency for national development. Cutting the foreign aid u. N. Multilateral bunk budget is going to be a lou ambassador, youve spent too much time over there on the east river. [laughter] thats what the u. N do you want the u. N. Or do you not . As Jeane Kirkpatrick once said, she paused and said its too much trouble. Lou all right. We i, ambassador, you always if you dont get to the answer, the journey is always fascinating. [laughter] thanks so much. Thank you, lou. Lou were coming right back with much, much more. Stay with us. The president making it clear that America First is his top priority during his summit with chinese president xi. I have been clear about advocating for the National Interests of the united united , something so important to me and so important to our people. Lou randy evans and ed rollins join us here next p. And is President Trump about to shake up his white house staff . One report speculating that the president might remove his chief of staff and chief strategist. Finish we take that up and much more straight ahead. Stay with us. Its our little differences, that can make a world of difference. Expedia, everything in one place, so you can travel the world better. Lou the white house tonight is denying reports a staff shakeup is in the works according to the wall street journal. President trump is considering ousting both white house chief of staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist, steven bannon. But Deputy Press Secretary Lindsay Walters says, quote the only thing we are shaking up is the way washington operates. Well see. Joining me now to discuss the president s big week, his china summit, the syrian airstrikeses and much, much more, rnc National Committeeman and former chairman of the republican lawyers association, randy evans, and republican strategist, veteran of ten president ial campaigns, the dean, ed rollins. Good to have you both here. Randy, how are you . Good to see you, lou. Lou yeah, were start oring with pleasantries tonight. I havent seen him in a long time. [laughter] lou you want to let you guys catch up . [laughter] weve got nothing else to talk about today. Lou im going to start with you, randy, now that we know how youre doing. The president , hows he doing . Oh, he had a wonderful, winning week. Youve got the confirmation of associate judge gorsuch, thats a huge cool. That will make an enormous difference immediately, effective next friday, hell be voting on which cases to grant reew. Youve got the attack in syria which proves he means what he says is and he says what he means and he leads from the front. No doubt about where his head is. And then finally to end with, the chinese delegation leading and inviting him to china to continue the negotiations. I think if youre russia, youve got to be thinking long and hard about what this president stands for. Lou if youre russia, if youre xi, a lot of people, including the ayatollah khamenei, youve got to be thinking in iran, its interesting to me, ed, iran has sort of receded to the background in the midst of what has been a tumultuous and absolutely triumphant week for President Trump. Hes had a fabulous week. And i think the statement that he made last night in the middle of his chinese dinner that if you mess with us or mess with people that are knelt, im going to take were not obama, were going to take a challenge. When you fire 60 missiles and hit with 59 of them, thats a pretty good record. I think the message to both china on north korea and to the iranians and the russians, the thing im most pleased is it puts a little distance between him and putin which we need to have. Lou talking with ambassador bolton, as you both know, former ambassador of the United Nations. He didnt want to answer whether the u. N. Should be consigned to the dust bin of history, but it has operated as an Oppositional Force to u. S. Foreign policy for decades. It wasnt consulted by this president , he moved forward, and that United Nations has stood pat, static and, to me, tragically so on the issue of syria in particular here tonight. Randy, why do we tolerate it . Well, we shouldnt. I think it would make a new, great trump hotel right there in new york city [laughter] to take this u. N. Building and convert it. Look what he did at washington, d. C. To a government post office. Imagine what he could do with that reality. Lou well, you know, just about every piece of real estate, as best as i can discern, given randys suggestion, it looks better with a trump sign on it. I think it would be better suited to sit in geneva. We give it a lot more attention than we normally would if it wasnt here in our neighborhood. I dont think they have been good supporters of us, and weve been one of their biggest financial backers for many, many years. I dont think the American Public would care one iota if it moved out, and those that did could move out with them. You do have to agree that Ambassador Nikki Haley stepped forward and took charge. She really has been very impressive this week. I think shes earned a lot of stripes on those sleeves. Lou i think, by the way, from the moment she stepped into the post, she has acquitted herself extraordinarily well. I want to turn, if we may, to gorsuch. The judge this was a bitter, long battle. Its one year of what is a long battle over the judiciary between these who parties going back 30 years now to robert bork. But now the democrats went so low and stayed in the muck for so long and were utterly irrational and on city nate and thuggish obstinate and thuggish throughout. What damage would you judge theyve done to themselves . Well, it looks like to me theyve made themselves clearly partisan. Remember, it was bipartisan support that confirmed associate justice gorsuch. Hes now going to sit and decide, hes got a very important case on april 19th right out of the box, a case where in the state of missouri religious Elementary Schools were denied materials to improve the safety of their playground simply because theyre religious. Its absurd. But hell break those 44 ties. Theyll be coming early and often. Lou ed, your sense of the politics of this. Have we moved into an even darker no mans land where, when it turns to partisan politics . Well, i think so, and i think its been building and building and building. And the foolishness of the filibuster means the minority gets to rule the senate. One great thing about the judge being appointed today, sworn in next week is we now have four or five really young, dynamic judges that are going to be on that court for a long period of time. And thomas, whos been there the longest, basically is one of the the great writers of the court, hell be there another 20 years, whoever else we get is going to give us some great stability, and the constitutions going to stand up, as it always should have. Lou i had the privilege of talking with Justice Thomas for a few moments last week. The man is, he is vigorous, he is smart as a whip, and his presence on that court has been extraordinary. Well, hes one of the great writers, and you read the Court Decisions that hes written, theyre fabulous. Lou all right. Were going to turn very quickly, i know were out of time, but i want to ask you both about this because fox news is reporting susan and i want to quote this susan rice most likely, quote, left a very extensive paper trail of unmasking requests related to members of the trump transition team. What is your judgment, randy, as to whether or not she will be held accountable . I think shell take the fifth amendment. I think at the end of the day when rubber meets road, shes not going to be able to answer those questions because there is no justifiable excuse for what she did. Lou no excuse but also no accountability, is that right . Thats exactly right. No accountability. But there will be responsibility in the end. I think the attorney general ought to basically hand this off to the fbi and say do a full investigation and come forth with documents that basically we can indict her. Lou and i think we all should be straightforward about the experience of these congressional investigations over the course of, trout the, certain throughout the, certainly, the obama administration. They have led to nothing. They have been lacking in producing results that are substantive or meaningful. And i think that the leadership of congress and the senate should take note of that fact and not waste either taxpayer dollars or the time of citizens. The fbi sounds like a very good idea to me. Absolutely. Lou randy evans, ed rollins, thank you both. Thank you, lou. Lou be sure to vote in our poll tonight, do you believe last nights airstrikes are important to altering the course of events in syria and the middle east . Cast your vote on twitter lou bobs, followon twitter lou bobsfollow me on twitter and instagram at lou dobbs tonight. And up next, President Trump has prevailed in his battle with obstructionist dems in the senate. Today is a day to celebrate, and its also a day to recognize that the republican majority in the senate did its job despite unprecedented democratic filibusters. Lou a full report on all that and more from Shannon Bream here next. Stay with us, well be right back. Four words, badda book. Badda boom. Let it sink in. Shouldnt we say we have the lowest price .

Lou an historic week and historic day, the Senate Voting to confirm judge neil gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Gorsuch is scheduled to be sworn in monday morning, and he could have an Immediate Impact on supreme urt decisions. Shannon bream has our report. The nomination of neil gorsuch of colorado to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is confirmed. Reporter after months of wrangling and recripple nations, history was made friday on two fronts. It now takes just a simple majority vote to end a filibuster of the Supreme Court nominee, and neil gorsuch has been confirmed to join the Supreme Court as its 101st associate justice. As senators across the aisle debate how unleashing the Nuclear Option will impact their efforts moving forward, gorsuch has an enormous workload waiting for him at the Supreme Court. One of the most prom fn in the cases involved the church spree school. Because after ban on state money going to any church or section of religion. When this case gets teed up for argument and decision, all eyes will be on justice gorsuch, because in all likelihood he is the one who will break the tie. Reporter his vote will have an Immediate Impact on deciding which cases to take up next. Just fist gorsuch wont have time to set until quietly because there are mott button cases just on the doorstep of the Supreme Court, whether its religious liberty versus gay marriage and gun regulation cases. Reporter there will a also be emergency requests for gorsuch to handle from a slew of executions to the president s order on immigration. Its possible he will rehear cases that ended in a 44 tie. He will take the oath in a friday ceremony monday morning followed by the judicial oath being administered by justice kennedy. Lou shannon, thank you so as much. Much more still ahead.

Lou not Much Movement today on wall street. The dow down 7 points. S p lost two and the nasdaq off one point. Investors try to follow an actionpacked week in d. C. With a lot of longterm implications. Ratheon up 1. 5 . Crude oil settling above 52 a barrel. Listen to my reports three times a day coast to coast on the salem network. The economy adding 98,000 jobs, but the Unemployment Rate fell to 4. 5 . The number of americans entering the workforce did lag behind those who found jobs. 63 . Hourly wages up. Up 2. 7 from a year ago. Joining me to talk about the trump economy, the strikes in syria, the u. S. China summit and what we can expect from it all. Steve forbes, great to have you here. Lets start with the missile strikes. Do you believe this is the foundation for altering what would have been a sorry course in syria and the middle east . What kind of effect . As the president would say, its truly huge. The Statement Last night was exactly right. First north korea, russia, china, iran on notice. You take our word seriously. But also it draws a marker. Chemical weapons, biological weapons. Those bands will stay in place and well enforce it. Otherwise we would have chemical aps all over the place. Eassures our allies in europe and asia, we are back in the game. The bad guys will not have the run of the table. Lou this president has firmly on his head the white hat and throughout the world. He stood up for humanitarian values, he stood up for the geneva convention. He stood up and performed the job of the United Nations, an institution i think is irrelevant. The tape he made last night was his most eloquent since his address to congress a few weeks ago. It even come passed the u. S. And the world. He couldnt have done better. This was a 10 strike in every sense of the word. Lou we have neil gorsuch about to be sworn in as justice of the Supreme Court monday. This was unthinkable almost a year ago without great conner nation and battle. This was an almost nothing today, as history was made. It was almost nothing as the democrats created some history of their own by becoming the first party and senator schumer leading the first filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee. Here we are with a result i would have thought the Republican Leadership would have wanted all along. They kept the Republican Party together in the senate. Message to house of representatives. If you lean right you can do it. Howie do you think you have the caliber of leadership in the house to compare to the senate . Steve they will get their test the next few weeks. Its like lleges. You keep giving the stgain. Lou the test runs out after you flunk so many. Steve it may in that case. This great Constitutional Republic of ours. Steve the speaker need a win or he will be pursuing other opportunities. Lou the country always first, then the speaker and his wins. Or whatever you would like. I know you were fixated on this tax reform. It looks like it is under some threat. I know the treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin said august. Do you think its still possible . I think they can get a tax cut through. The key is making it retroactive. May first, january first. Make it retroactive. If they make it clear at the beginning it will be made retroactive, then people can make plans for it. Just the prospect of it is having a good effect. That jobs report got overlooked. In the so quiewld the socalled Household Survey, that was fantastic. Howie we dont use that survey. Steve there are the february Household Survey numbers are great. The march Household Survey great. Lou people will say what is steve talking about . Steve job creation. Lou 98,000 last month. Whats going on. 216,000, 219,000, was that accurate . Steve no. Whats overlooked in the headlines.

But Senate Confirmed judge neil gorsuch as the 113th justice of the Supreme Court. The arguments against him didnt have much to do with him. They were about other things. I think ultimately it was a rejection of the legitimacy of this president by those disappointed in the outcome of the election on november 8. Lou joining me to discuss gorsuchs historic day, the political implications of going nuclear, leonard leo. Hes the executive Vice President of the federalist society. Congratulations first of all. This is an amazing achievement and an amazing day. Its a great day for our country. Such a fitting success to justice cal yeah. The man will defend the constitution as its written. Lou you talk about Justice Scalia, he was an absolute icon and stalwart of the court and of course the constitution itself, an originalist, a textualist. And gorsuch is the appropriate man we were told by everyone who knows to sit in the scalia seat. The legacy Justice Scalia left us is the idea enforcing the structural limits on government power and our constitution is the most important thing to preserving freedom of and dignity. If you read all 707 of judge gorsuchs opinions, you see that running through so many of them. This such an important appointment to the court, and it will mean a lot in years to come for personal freedom and placing limitepowers on the government. Lou 56 of those who voted for President Trump, that Supreme Court seat was the reason they voted for him. It looks like the president Going Forward will likely have another opportunity to nominate a justice. Your thoughts about the impact of neil gorsuch on the court immediately. First all, this president gets it like no other i have seen. He understands how important this issue is and he save the firsthand in the election. There is no question judge gorsuch will make his presence known on the court. Hes extraordinarily intelligent. He has great charm and elegance. Hes stow committed to the constitution as its written. I have never seen someone in a confirmation hearing defend originalism and textualism in the way he did so that so Many Americans could understand its a great opportunity for our country to have him on the court. Lou this court now will be deciding with 8 other justices what courts will be heard. How important are those cases coming forward as you understand them . We have a couple of important cases in this first sitting later in april. One that has to do with the kinds of aid that religious schools can receive. If that case comes out the wrong way, there are a lot of religious schools that can go bankrupt. A lot of important cases regarding the second mevment, the separation of powers, and the constitutionality of the cfab. So there will be a lot of important cases involving the power of government, several of the key provisions of our beautiful rights the next two or three years. Lou our viewers are interested in every one of those issues. I want to say thank you to you as well. As well as congratulations. A great day. Thank you so much. Lou secretary of stat tillerson warning russia about their support of syria. The Syrian Regime under the leadership of Bashar Alassad are responsible for this attack. And i think further it is very important that the russian government consider carefully their continued support for the assad regime. Lou well take you have the strong leadership of the Trump White House with charlie hurt and gayle trotter. Well be focusing on this incredible week. Why pause a spontaneous moment . Cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. Tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex.

If you have a sudden decrease oross hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. Ask your doctor about cialis. Lou President Trump today wrapped up his summit with chinese president xi jinping in florida. Deep differences remain on trait to core ror. But there was no sign that in the president s public remarks there was any disappointment at all. The relationship developed by president xi and myself i think is outstanding. We look forward to being together many times in the future. I believe lots of potentially bad problems will be going away. Progress has been made. Lou progress has been made. Senator vanlds paul criticizing the decision by the president to launch missile strikes against a Syrian Air Base without congressional approval. The president doesnt have the authority under the constitution to inpushate war. What we are doing now is illegal and unconstitutional, and the ram if i quaitions could be extreme. Lou joining me to discuss this and more, Washington Times opinion editor, Fox News Contributor charlie hurt and gayle trotter. Let me start if i may with what senator paul was saying. Despite the almost universal acclaim for having shown strong, decisive leadership. The senator wanted him to go to the senate for approval to congress. Your reaction to the senators concerns. Gayle senator paul has good instincts. The president should work with congress on these issues. But president obama wasted no time, hes a man of action and decisive leader. If you use chemical weapons on children, well lower your airfield to a pile of rubble. That is what should have been done.
