For those kind words. We go way back. Im always worried when doug introduces me. He knows an awful lot of stuff he could say. But he always kind of he is on his way to the Supreme Court to i guess a woman we know, great lawyers, going to argue the dna case, and its something we probably ought to win 90. Dont you think . So dont blow it. [laughter] ninezip, you know. Now, as some of you know, as doug said, we worked noth the u. S. Attorneys office, but the notion i was his boss is a complete joke.

Building in akron, ohio. That building and an adjacent home were engulfed in flames. Police say no one was inside either building but survivors from the plane are unlikely.

Very contentious talks on trade, north korea, and a host of other issues. Trump just addressed reporters saying he and the chinese president are building a friendship, and he ignored shouted questions about syria. And we begin tonight with a stunning reversal from the white house with potentially huge consequences. President trump is considering a military response against syria as early as tonight, perhaps in the next couple of hours. Less than one week ago, the Trump Administration maintained it was not seeking to oust syrian president bashar al assad. But today secretary of state Rex Tillerson told reporters that in the wake of tuesdays horrific chemical weapons attack in a rebelheld region of syria, assad has, quote, no role governing his country. Assads role in the future is uncertain clearly. With the acts that he has taken, it would seem there would be no role for him to govern the Syrian People. Its a serious matter. It requires a serious response. That aforementioned serious r

Its a good thing air force one has plenty of carryon space, hes carrying heavy baggage. How hard will he campaign for the Health Care Plan.

Is the house and the administration going to turn over the evidence it says it has that President T
Is one of the truly egregious crimes, and it shouldnt have happened. And it shouldnt be allowed to happen. Do you think that assad should leave power in syria . I think what happened in syria is a disgrace to humanity, and hes there, and i guess hes running things. So something should happen. Something should happen. You heard the president. Well, joining me right now from london with more is nbc correspondent Richard Engel. Richard, theres something happening, and im wondering what we know at this point. What do you know . Reporter well, ive been speaking to senior u. S. Military officials, and they say that something is seriously under consideration, that it could happen imminently, that a wide range of options are being presented to the president. This could develop very quickly, perhaps even in the next couple of next several hours. And that the president is leaning toward a more limited option, not a Massive Military Campaign that would change the regime, not toppling Bashar Al As
