people, though, using conventional bombs. bill: but the message has been delivered for now with regard to chemical gas. correct? absolutely. bill: thank you, general peer jack keane, do not go far. thank you, 10 minutes after the hour, we have a big lineup today. shannon: we sure do, we will hear from senator john mccain and a minute, chair of the armed services committee. senators ted cruz and michael lee also joining us for the next hour, chris called the mike wallace, bret baier and former investor to the u.n. john bolton. a lot of these folks were probably up most of the night adjusting the news and we are glad to have them with us. bill: more headlines to come, we are waiting for news from the president down in florida and could get reaction from the u.n. from nikki haley peered back to our syria coverage in a moment, but we are also watching significant developers on capitol hill today. we are only hours away from the vote that will confirm judge neil gorsuch on the u.s
people dying after having been poisoned with chemical gas. but the assad regime started by firing guns into crowds of protesters and then dropping barrel bombs on them. this is a brutal, barbaric regime. how is it that we respond to one thing and then we have a more measured response if he stops using chemical attacks? well, that s entirely the point. we re not going to get anywhere good if we think that we can snap back, and certain statements from some in the administration suggests that is exactly what we re going to do. focusing on islamic state again but not on the assad regime, as he continues to murder his people by the tens of thousands. so there s an opportunity here. there s also a challenge, if we think wean go back to business as usual. colonel, let me talk a little bit about how we did this. hagar mentioned it was
al-assad and his ridging. of course, many saying what has to happen next? all the time or details of this atrocious attack coming up, one man describing how he lost his whole family, 25 members including his wife and twin daughters who he buried himself. i ask for them, where s my child, the twins? and my wife, where are they? they brought them to me, and they were murdered. speak of the toll from the attack and khan sheikhoun keeps rising and as he said now over 80 including more than 30 children. investigators are hoping to reach the scene, but access is impossible and across the world, there has been outcry. when you kill innocent children, innocent babies, babies, little babies with a chemical gas that is so lethal, people were shocked to hear what gas it was, that crosses many
said we will get rid of that poisonous gas after drew that red line. they drew some of it. obviously a lot of it left. if you saw the images from tuesday. you saw young children as you see this was probably a 1 or 3-year-old who are gassed with chlorine or something horrific as they struggle for their lives, riffing in pain with their lungs burnings. these images you have to wonder how bashar assad stays in power? that s exactly what the president of the united states was speculating on yesterday in the rose garden. i now have responsibility and i will have that responsibility and carry it very proudly. when you kill innocent children, innocent babies, babies, little babies, with a chemical gas that is so lethal that crosses many, many lines, beyond a red line, many, many lines. i will tell you it s already happened that my attitude toward syria and assad has
me. when you kill innocent children, innocent babies, babies, little babies, with a chemical gas that is so lethal that people were shocked to hear what gas it was, that crosses many, many lines. beyond a red line. many, many lines. i know, robin, what did you say i don t think anyone was surprised by the kind of gas it was. assad has used his gas before. he s been battle bombs for five, six years at the least. it was horrifying. those images were horrifying, but they ve been horrifying for six years. why yesterday why yesterday s images changed donald trump s view when six years of images did not? how does that tell you what to do in syria? does that tell you he s going to try to unseat assad? that s a whole new shift in american policy.
