The driver gets away. The man hunt is on for the driver and maybe someone else as well. More on that in just a moment. Blake burman in palm beach on the diplomatic storm after the president ordered the air strikes. Blake . Hi there, neil. The white house continues to portray this strong as a methodical operation as a methodical strike. Sean spicer telling us today that between Tuesday Morning as thursday afternoon both at the white house and at maralargo. Trump was briefed five different times before he gave the final signoff yesterday afternoon. Spicer this afternoon would not go into what the next steps may or may not be, but he told our john roberts this afternoon that the president was pleased with how this played out and he views this as a success. First of all, hes proud of our military, especially the United States navy that fired 59 missiles and all hit their targets. He couldnt be more proud of the men and women in the military and the job they did. Secondly, hes pleased that we have sent a clear and decisive response around the world. On the diplomatic front, russia has responded. They sent a warship into the Eastern Mediterranean. They announced they would suspend their coordination efforts with the United States as it relates to air operations in syria. Earlier today, there was quite the scene in new york at the United Nations involving the u. M. Ambassador, nikki haley. She put syria and russia on notice. She wrapped up a speech by saying the United States took a very measured step last night. Were prepared to do more. But she says we hope that wont be necessary. Back to you, neil. Neil great reporting. Blake burman. Meantime, a russian warship is steaming to the region. Jennifer griffin with more on that at the pentagon. Jennifer . Fox news has learned that a russian warship has now entered the Eastern Mediterranean and heading to the two u. S. Navy destroyers that launched those strikes last night into syria. The russian friggate crossed into the black sea this morning. The admiral is armed with advanced caliber cruise missiles. The pentagon says theyre investigating whether russia played a role in the chemical weapon attack on april 4. U. S. Officials say a russian on syrian drone was seen flying over a hospital where the victims of the nerve gas attack were taken. Five hours later, that hospital was bombed. The suggestion from this pentagon official is either the russian or the Syrian Regime was trying to destroy and cover up the evidence of the chemical attack. Administration Officials Say russians were present at the air base when the chemical weapons were loaded on the syrian planes. Last night, there were 12 to 100 Russian Military personnel at the Syrian Air Base when the u. S. Military struck. Defense officials said the u. S. Military took efforts not to hit the russian barracks. They gave russia an hour headsup before the attack. Defense Officials Say 60 tomahawk missiles were launched. We know one of them failed and likely fell into the sea. All 59 missiles hit within two to three minutes in that single air base where the Trump Administration says the nerve agents were loaded on to a russian made war plane. Back to you. Neil with us now, former u. S. S. Cole commander, kirk liphold. Youve heard from the administration and Rex Tillerson, the secretary of state. Its a one and done. That is after listening to nikki haley at the United Nationsed too. There arent more Chemical Attacks assuming. What do you think . I think neil youre hearing exactly right. Its one and we hope its done. Sandra . We want to make sure this is sending a strong signal to Bashar Alassad and that chemical weapons wont be tolerated and reinforcing the red line from a few years ago, theres now going to be consequences for doing it. Its telling the russians that you cannot be complicit with aid and abet. So you have to help us top the alassad regime from doing these acts. When you step back, you see a russian warship to move within the area to get to visible distance from the american ships where the tomahawks were launched, lets say we have a follow up attack because alassad again uses chemical weapons. What do you think the russian ship does . I think they would probably be in observe mode. I dont think theyre going to do anything. It would be very unlikely that they would attempt to engage and shoot the navy ships to stop the attack. We would be wellprepared if they shot missiles at us and to defend ourselves and take whatever action is necessary. I dont believe it will come to that. I dont think that youll see. Putin want that type of escalation, especially at sea where the russians dont have as much presence as the u. S. Navy does. Neil what do make up the fact that we gave the russians a headsup . What youre seeing, neil, the delicate interplay with diplomacy and the military coming in. We wanted to give the russians a headsup to give them an opportunity to make sure their people were safeguarded and not the subject of the attack either on purpose or by accident. The fact that the russians didnt tell the syrians, theres a delicate balance there. When you look at it, russia is deeply engaged in supporting the alassad regime. When they watch the alassad regime engage in these horrific acts of using chemical weapons, which the russians say that they shouldnt have because they verified that they got rid of them is putting them on the carpet as well. So putin is looking for a way to send a signal to Bashar Alassad. We will tolerate you doing certain things to your people to stay in power, but this crossed the line and theres a price that were just going to turn the blind eye to. Neil assuming that the russians had taken as a given that alassad didnt have anymore chemical weapons, he committed he hadnt and maybe they check and he lied, but now the gig is up. So the russians then have to find a way to extricate themselves from this. They went on another tangent saying this was a provocative act. They told the russian people that the u. S. Was planning the attack. What do you make of that and that theyre now painting the u. S. As the aggressor here . I would look at it as you have posturing and you have reality. The russians have to give a certain amount of red meat to their populous as well that keeps putin in power. They know the reality of the situation on the ground. The use of chemical weapons cannot be tolerated. Theyre party to the treaty that prohibits that as well. They know if theyre complicit with it, eventually that shadow will get cast across their past. Theyre going to be held responsible and they dont want to be seen in the eyes of the world as contributing to those acts themselves. I think this dispenses with the notion that the love fest is there and that between Vladimir Putin and donald trump and the two wouldnt say anything nasty to each other or this notion that donald trump was beholden to Vladimir Putin because judging by the reaction today, they dont appear to be too happy. At the end of the day, President Trump will take u. S. National security interests like everything hes done with his make America Great slogan and put our nation first, our National Interests first. Hes not going to care about what putin wants. He will take that into the context of framing his pictures strategically for what is in the u. S. National security interests on the global stage. By the same token, he has to acted in a manner that sets our interests clear around foremost. This was a signal to another major player in the region. The number 1 state sponsor of terror telling iran that chemical weapons wont be tolerated. There will be major consequences for using them. These a good signal. Neil thanks, commander. Thanks, neil. Great to be on again. Neil i want you to follow the stock market with this. Not much by days end. I want to show you what was going on late last night. The futures were tanking. Then they stabilized here. A lot of that had to do with foreign leaders coming out across the globe to commend president tr of force here. What they called a strategic and wise use of force. Even though governments that up till now have been critical of donald trump. Gerri willis monitoring that. When all is said and done, we had a flat day and a flat week. But wow, in between, right . Right, exactly. Back and forth over that positive and negative line. Defense stocks positive on news of the defense strike in syria. And shares of missile makers like the maker of tomahawk missiles, raytheon higher. At 1. 6 million, 59 were fired from destroyers. And the f35 rallied. Gold was flat after hitting a high and oil popped to a 1month high after sabers were rattling in the middle east. The jobs report, another big headline. Something of a disappointment today. The jobless rate had a low of 7. 5 . The big disappointment, job gains for the months. 98,000 versus expectations of 219,000. February job gains were also revised lower. By sector, the gainers were business services, mining and construction. The Retail Sector lost 30,000 jobs. A pain among brick and mortar retailers. Neil . Neil you might have noticed in the lower right corner of the screen, not only the attack on syria and what the russians do next and what we do next, a report that showed a jobs growth slow down and growing concerns, the president talked with the leader of china and then on north korea. You can imagine we have a lot going on simultaneously. We kick things off live tomorrow at 10 00 a. M. Through noon looking at all of these developments and trying to get a big picture sense of where we go from here on the most consequential week for this Trump Administration since becoming the Trump Administration. Kicking off at 10 00 a. M. Live. We have another truck attack and another case of the guy behind the truck attack disappearing into the crowd. How did it happen . Even sweden is calling it an act of terror. Yes, sweden. Remember the country that others were dismissing as a worry when donald trump was raising it as a worry . After this. Od with us when a fire destroyed everything in our living room. We replaced it all without touching our savings. Yeah, our insurance wont do that. No. You can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. Liberty Mutual Insurance when liberty stands with you™. Imy moderate to severeng crohns disease. I didnt think there was anything else to talk about. But then i realized there was. So, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. He said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. In clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. The markets change. At t. Rowe price. Our disciplined approach remains. Global markets may be uncertain. But you can feel confident in our investment experience around the world. Call us or your advisor. T. Rowe price. Invest with confidence. All right. Theyre calling it a terrorist act in sweden. That is the leadership of sweden is after a truck plowed into an Upscale Department store and gets away. We know two who are dead. There are different reports on this. Libby johnson joins us with the American Islamic foreign diplomacy. We dont know if isis was behind it, but its been called a terrorist attack. What do you make of it . There had been concerns expressed about weird things going on in stockholm and sweden in general. What are your thoughts . Well, neil, it has the hall marks of the vehicular jihad that we saw in the Christmas Market in berlin, that we saw at the u. K. Parliament. Israel has been dealing with vehicular jihadists for years. Its very unstoppable. We forget that sweden per capita has the highest rate of isis devotees of any country. This is not a surprise. I laud the swedish leadership for calling this terrorism right away. We have to pick up on the separatism. Thats the only way to prevent this. Once they get in the vehicle and he stole that beer truck, theres nothing you can do other than get out of the way. Neil what is weird to me and this was the case in berlin and not so in nice france was the guy was shot in the truck, but that they get away. You know, you hope to apprehend them later but they do get away. In this case, the guy plows into this store. People are shocked and offer he goes. What to you make of that . Not only do they get away, the attack in paris, november 2015, those terrorists did their act and did another one in belgium. So they hide neil and i should stress, this is Swedish Press reporting, that he walked, he didnt run. He walked. We saw the boston attack that they blended in the population afterwards. The vigilance of our citizenry needs to be Say Something before the attacks. See where they go. Our intelligence, our police need every piece of information they can to capture these guys, get the information out of them, how theyre radicalized and then we need to fight extremism. President trump has the wherewithal to start countering the ideology. The idealogical precursor. Thats the only way well pick this up and prevent these attacks. Neil and President Trump cited sweden as of a concern and this type of activity is festering beneath the surface. Again and again, we find this is occurring in what used to seem the worlds most unlikely places what do you think of that . You hit the nail of the head. Theyre more interested in this one upsmanship in criticizing the name of a country for having a problem, be it sweden, paris, france. The mayor of france talked about areas of separation and bottom line is theyre in denial. We have to recognize that theres certain populations that are radicalized that only go to sharia law and that radicalization is a war that were in. As in syria, as members of Congress Said we were never attacked. Were in war. The fronts are multiple in sy a syria, sweden, france and the United States. Neil all right. Thanks very much. We have more coming up and what this strike means globally and has just given this president more cloud globally and some of the same leaders not long ago that were dismissing him. Per roll more doing chores for dad per roll more earning something you love per roll bounty is more absorbent, so the roll can last 50 longer than the leading ordinary brand. So you get more life per roll. Bounty, the quicker picker upper all right. Not quite one off. This was from a luncheon the president had earlier with his key staff on hand with the chinese president. But they promised that whatever happened last night, they would stop it there and leave with the one after on that. Not quite. The administration is announcing additional sanctions on syria right now. Emphasizing that is this is coming from Steve Mnuchin. He says it will have an important effect on having people from doing business with them. Syria is among the most sanctioned countries on the planet already. How far and widespread this gets and how many other countries will participate is anybodys guest. David is joining us. Very good to have you, general. What do you make of this talk of additional sanctions . So this would be on top of what we did last night. What do you think . Well, first, thanks for the time, neil. What i would tell you is that, you know, the strikes yesterday directed by President Trump obviously reestablished the credibility in the United States, the leader on the worlds stage. So these imposition of economic sanctions indicate that the Trump Administration is taking a whole government approach here where the Obama Administration focused solely on diplomacy. President trump is incorporated and integrating a military economic diplomatic and obviously informational element to put pressure on the alassad regime to stop their crimes against humanity. Neil general, we said it was a one off and that implies one and done here. You know, in the past, when we trusted the United Nations, for example, to deal with this as we did last time with president obama and the red line threats, that that was thrown back on congresss list and more to the point in the united lap where they said, look, we have a handle on the chemical weapons. Theyre going to get rid of them. Russia is the chief watcher, was going to oversee that, made sure that that happened. We know that all that was a lie. So doesnt it seem pre matumatur us to say its a one off knowing the past track record of the United Nations record to deal with this or syria and russia to do what it should on this . What i would add is just a reminder to your audience, yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the u. S. Entry to world war i. International law banned the use of chemical weapons. In light of the failure, if you highlight the United Nations to enforce those conventions, the United States under the Trump Administration acted with their moral authority to do so under the civilized world. Now with the backbone reinstated in the u. S. Foreign policy, now the administration has leverage it should use with the assad regime and russia to do a couple things. Restraining syrias air force if necessary, stop any further use of chemical weapons, implement and effective cease fire in the cival war there or move to a negotiated transition of power. Yeah, the United States shouldnt be quick to say, hey, one and done particularly when they have now reinvigorated their posture as a world leader. General, real quickly. Youve been patient. Some in congress are upset, so upset that they werent remotely consulted on this. What do you make of that . Obviously different people have different perspectives based on where theyre sitting. The quick nature of the fashion in which the president acted and the degree of surprise that was involved with that Quick Reaction i think contributed to its success. So, you know, my advice to those folks, sit down and take a deep breath. This was a gut check for the new administration. The president made a statement that the use of chemical weapons is reprehensible and wont be tolerated. Im pretty sure that north korea and iran took note of that. General david deptula, thanks for your service to this country. Much appreciated. Thanks, neil. As the general was speaking, word from Rex Tillerson on what he deem as lackluster russian response to this. Disappointed response indicates their continued support to this regime. Hes referring to the alassad regime in syria. I tell you its sad but not all that surprising. Lieutenant colonel tony shaffer on this. Begs the issue that i keep raising, colonel, the one off was not just one and off. No its a tapestry of capabilities that have been brought back to the table. As stipulated in several reports leading up to this, the Obama Administration to a fault removed military capabilities from any negotiation. I think that gave the state department a huge disadvantage. So lets be very clear on whats going on here. You now have a president that has acted, which reinvigorated everything were doing across the board to include especially reinvigorated one of the things that people hate to talk about, the Nuclear Deterrence program. The japanese had been very worried about a president obama for a north korean provocation. The North Koreans have nuclear weapons. They have linked these things to more than just scuds. What we see theres a reason why, neil, you saw the tomahawk missiles hitting as donald trump was offering Bread Pudding and cherry brandy to president xi last night. I wondered how that played in maralargo. He apparently stepped away from the dinner to make the announcement and said, i guess, pass the bread. Whatever happened, i dont know. You could make the argument on if youre a wayward are you republic a regime, this might behoove you to move fast with your bad stuff. If youre north korea, do it now, launch it now. I dont agree. Having studied north korea, worked the north korean issue since the early 90s, i know for a fact their primary objective is regime survival. Moment they think that theyre being threatened, they cant act out that tends to be the thing. Weve done the same thing with the North Koreans time and time again. Neil youre right. Democrat and republicans. Everybody. So now the potential that this president may deviate from a paradigm shift from the past and i think this means that there could be very well some different actions against north korean than weve seen before. Neil all right. Paradigm. I always thought it was paradigm. Got you. Tony shaffer, have a wonderful weekend. You too. What a fastmoving week. Now we have a Supreme Court justice on the way. Neil gorsuch after being approved for the job will be formally sworn in on monday. He will already have the case load. His inbox is already full. They wont waste a nano second. Wait till you hear what he has to decide after this. [vo] quickbooks introduces jeanette and her mobile wedding business. She travels far and wide to officiate i dos.

Is it Steve Mnuchin . Gary cone . Really . They have this claim satisfaction guarantee. Really . Their claim experience is fast, fair, and hasslefree or they get their, like, money back. Saraaah come to prom with me no. Hey mr. Parker. Claim satisfaction guarantee, only from allstate. Its good to be in good hands. On this vote, the ayes are ash 54, the neys are 45. So neil gorsuch is now confirmed to be the next Supreme Court justice of the United States. Neil monday he will be the ninth justice of the Supreme Court taking the place of antonin scalia. Apparently he will have a very busy docket. Shannon, he has a full plate, doesnt he . He does. Can you imagine walking into this mid stream . Normally ready to go in september and the fall. But walking in, he will drink from a fire hose. He will be seated to hear a group of cases starting on the 17th. One really interesting case that stands out, everybody will be watching, they think he may be the tiebreaking vote, this is a case of a Church Preschool in missouri that applied for a state grant that is designed to help people make play grounds safer for kids. And they wanted to get some new material, scrap tires that they use on play grounds. They thought that they would get the grant. It was denied. Under state missouri lawyer, you cant use money to benefit a church. It will have the religious freedom argument to it. Given that judge gorsuch ruled for hobby lobby for the religious freedom cases, well be watching closely when he hears that case. Neil you said he will be a justice monday. Theres two different swearing ins. How will that go . He will have a private ceremony and the constitutional oath, one that all federal employees have to take. Theres one required of justices and judges. That will be administered by Justice Kennedy later on monday at the white house. Theyll be the only clerk and boss team that end up serving on the bench together at the same time. Neil now know, hes still got despite this dustup over the Nuclear Option, all of that, he still got more votes than Clarence Thomas did. Thomas had 52 yays. Will they be putting an asterisks next to his name, this was the result of the back and forth and the Nuclear Option . That question went to the Senate Judiciary chair, chuck grassley. He said there will be no asterisks. He referred back to the Clarence Thomas case. Its interesting when you think about his confirmation. Nobody tried to filibuster him. Even as controversial and as drawn out and so many twists and turns and critics of his, many of them proven to be completely false after the fact, but by the time that Justice Thomas got to an actual vote, nobody tried to filibuster him. Judge gorsuch got the highest rating you can get from the American Bar Association unanimously. Thats not a conservative group. He had people celebrating him left, right and middle. People all over the political spectrum saying regardless what you think about politics, hes fair. He adheres to the texts. So even with the backdrop, the democrats decided to filibuster him. Something that they didnt even do for Justice Thomas. Neil youre right about that. Shannon, we know hes scary smart as are you. Thank you very much. Everything on monday. That will be a big deal. Meantime, youve seen and heard about mad dog mattis. He was key in recommending the course of action we took against syria. Unfortunately with that incredible mad dog Foreign Policy team, you dont hear the same when it comes to the Economic Team or the domestic policy team. Our own mad dog, Charlie Gasparino on why that is after this. Let me talk to you about retirement. A 401 k is the most sound way to go. Lets talk asset allocation. Sure. You seem knowledgeable, professional. Im actually a deejay. [ laughing ] no way that really is you . If theyre not a cfp pro, you just dont know. Cfp. Work with the highest standard. Weeds. Natures boomerang. At roundup®, we know they keep coming back. You never invited this stubborn little rascal to your patio. So, draw the line. One spray of roundup® max control 365 kills to the root and keeps weeds away for up to 12 months. Because patios should be for cooking out and kicking back. Roundup® max control 365. Draw the line. Prevent weeds from coming back for up to one year. Neil all right. We know that the trump Foreign Policy team has a take no prisoners mad dog reputation especially after the syrian strikes last night. Not so much for the Domestic Team that has fumbled on the tax cut thing and when its going to be launch and when and all that. Apparently that impression has gotten out there to Charlie Gasparino, our own local mad dog, if you will. Hes gotten the first indications and team trump is addressing that as we speak, right . Heres what were hearing, mixed messages and one thing we can report now and is this has been out there for a while. Theyre looking for some of a white house shakeup. Nobody to gets their legislative ducks in order, theyre looking to shake things up, who will carry out what. The name that we keep hearing is reince priebus. This is what im hearing. The white house, we should point out, is denying theres any change to priebus job that is imminent. Im getting this from senior white house sources that theyre saying that trump is thinking about a number of people to possibly replace priebus. High on that list is your body, the man from goldman sachs, now the head of the nec, gary cohn. Other names are on the list. Wayne burbman from blackstone. A very competent guy. Kevin mccarthy, senior republican in the house. David urban, a Trump Campaign official in pennsylvania, which is a key state to win. Its up to the president. This is a mecurio neil what about bannon . We hear hes in trouble. We also hear hes in trouble. Neil so the two of them would go . Im not hearing hes going. I think his role will be diminished. Neil the administration is denying this. Right. Neil but it is there a sense of addressing the disarray . Because the criticism when it comes to domestic initiatives, they havent been as right as the Foreign Policy. Priebus lost some ground internally on the healthcare debacle. You know, paul ryan and he were very close. They thought they had the votes. Priebus was kind of running that ship in many ways. You know, i think when Something Like that doesnt happen, its not the guy at the top that takes the fall. Its the guy he relies on to do that. I point out neil i dont think thats fair. I agree. You can criticize the president as well for not getting a read on this. You can go after the speaker for raising the president s hopes on this, but somebody has to take the fall for that. Reince priebus has an incredibly difficult job. Lets take the syrian air strikes. Three days ago, they said just the opposite. Rex tillerson was saying, you know, were fine with the way things are basically. Yesterday the president neil they responded to the Chemical Attacks. That changed things. Lets be clear. The alassad regime has been pulling stunts like this for a long time. This isnt the first time they used chemical weapons. Neil the first time weve seen it since the red line thing. Absolutely. He inherited donald trump inherited stuff. Thats true. Ill say this. But watch what is going on i dont know if this w imminent, this change at the top. Clearly theyre talking about something here. Neil will you be joining us tomorrow as you continue to alienate everybody in the Trump White House . Yes, if youll have me, ill be there. At 10 00 approximately. Neil absolutely. 10 00 to 12 00. Charlie gasparino. Everybody gets ticked off. Except for you. Neil they all answer the phone. He calls, you dont want to not answer the phone. Thats the most hellish thing. Boss, i have Charlie Gasparino on line one. Duh when we come back, the chairman of joint chiefs of staff briefing senators and house members on capitol hill on this operation. More coming up. Spring is on, so its time to get started. But first things first call trugreen, americas 1 professional lawn care company. Millions of homeowners like you trust us to give them a lawn they can live on. And tailored care plans ensure their lawns get exactly what they need to thrive. Guaranteed. That means you can do more of this, this, and this. Okay, maybe not this. Start your trugreen lawn plan today for only 29. 95. And live life outside. Plus, trugreen now offers mosquito defense. So dont wait act now. Deartheres no other way to say this. Its over. Ive found a permanent escape from monotony. Together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. I know this is sudden, but they say if you love something. Set it free. See you around, giulia all right. The briefing after the fact, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff briefing the president. Dan sullivan given the headsup there. Senator great to have you here. Great to be here. Neil some of your colleagues like rand paul concerned that they didnt get a headsup on this and the president went too far. What do you think . I commend the president on this and chairman dunford and the men and women in the military that carried out this response. It was meant to focus on making sure that Bashar Alassad could not once again use chemical weapons against his own people or our allies in the region. It was sent to clear a message. Hes clearly in violation of that. So i think its a good start and a really important issue, which is reestablishing american credibility in the region. Critical, difficult. We got to do it. When i did speak i wasnt clear in my question then. When i talked to senat senator this, he said the president should have checked with congress first. Should have checked with senators about this first. What do you say . Look, i think this is an important response. I think particularly given the war on terror, not every response this was meant to be timely, proportional. Not every military response we can undertake to get the full senate or full house to approve it. There was talk in the meeting about a use of military force resolution. Ive always been for that. If you remember, president obama put forward one last couple years that was much too limiting. What we dont want to do is limit the president of the United States to protect the interests of the United States. Part of that use of force the president wanted to push is that the United Nations was going to act sort of like an overseer, make sure that the regime in this case, syria, would get rid of its chemical weapons and the russians were their chief spokesperson and watcher would oversee it. We found out that that was not the case. The clearest case that they didnt do what they said and the russians were culpable. So didnt this behoove the action the president took and strengthen his argument not to consult you guys at all . Were clearly getting briefed on it right now. What we did provides us with a diplomatic opportunity right here. You mentioned how this is a clear violation of what the russians, what Bashar Alassads regime had agreed to and theyre clearly violating the agreement. I think what we have the opportunity to do now is isolate these countries diplomatically. One thing we talked about in the briefing, neil, is the overwhelming support of our allies, not only in the region but nato around the world, this is the importance of beginning to reestablish u. S. Credibility in the region and to begin to reestablish u. S. Leadership. When were leading, when were taking action that advances u. S. Interests, other countries will follow. Youre seeing that today. Would you feel this way as well, senator, if theres a follow up, if its not a oneoff, in the administration gets similar evidence that syria is behaving with chemical weapons, dialling them back or is doing anything else provocative that it does so again and doesnt consult you again . Well, look, what we need to do is wait and see what this action, which i supported, was meant to do, to send a signal to the regime that we shouldnt and neither should other countries tolerate the use of banned chemical weapons against either your own citizens or the citizens of our allies in the region. That was a clear message. It is an issue with regard to the credibility of the Trump Administration trying to regain the u. S. Credibility thats been lost in the region. So i think we should wait and see. If he undertakes actions similar to this, i think we should look seriously at striking and degrading even more of his chemical weapons capabilities and his ability to attack his own citizens. Again, our allies in the region like israel. Thanks, senator, a beautiful state of alaska. Were getting more details on this swedish terror attack. They are calling it a terror attack. They cant say how many are behind it. We know that nobody has been apprehended for this. The guy that ran the truck into that swanky Department Store walked away and got away after this.
