florida where he ll be heading over the mar-a-lago. a 6:30 eastern time dinner is planned between the president and the president of china. the first meeting between two men and a lot on the agenda there. i want to stick with syria if i can and ask about the possibilities. you mentioned there will be options. the previous administration obviously struggled for years with how to handle syria and what kind of military force on use. this is a very difficult subject no? it is difficult. but there isn t a lack of military options. in 2013 when president, then president obama came very close the launching strikes, they had a whole host of options ready. the pentagon was ready to go. what we ve seen the last 24, 48 hours, is the pentagon in some parts dusting off those plans
if the united states decides to take action, it should do as i said if my huffington post piece. it can take out the cruise missiles hitting the air fields or take out his oil export pipelines, which is essential for exchange for assad. but ultimately, there won t be a solution or the isis or syria without the assad regime collapsing. thank you so much for your time. coming up, will president trump and china s president find common ground on the issues straining the u.s./china relationship? everyone deserves attention, whether you ve saved a lot or just a little.
debates of our country. they are effective with the public interest. the public has a right to know exactly what s going on. and we need to have the new york city authorities and the new york state authorities doing a complete investigation and rerting back to the public. and i know you ve called for bill o reiy to be taken off the air at fox news. i should note before i let you ladies go, that bill o reilly has not addressed the allegations on air. he. i m vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid negative publicity. great conversation. thank you for being with us. after the break, the heart breaking story behind this moving photo. have you seen this? of a father and his twins. victims of the alleged kept attack in syria.
whether or not it is true that assad practically became indispenable, which many people came to that conclusion. i think the time is long overdue for him to leave. the situation in syria has deteriorated to the the point where the country is in a terrible state of rubble. 6 million people are refugees. nothing isis has done can compare to the atrocities. do you think that assad as the u.s. says he is responsible, do you think that they launched this kept weapons attack in part because they knew the trump administration might not notice? well, it is hard to say. we don t really know. putting myself in the mind of that regime is hard. the fact of the matter is that the regime felt hit the right to go ahead and use kechemical
held agreements between parties including the syrian regime, the russian government, and all other members of the u.n. security council. it is a serious matter. it requires a serious response. president trump also just spoke to report orders air force one when asked if assad should leave power, he said that what happened in syria was a quote, disgrace to humanity. and that something should happen. for more i want to bring in ambassador mark ginsberg, ambassador to morocco. what is your reaction to what we just heard from the president ask the secretary of state? well, i am pleetase that had both expressed their horror over the events that took place and it is good to see that the president is reading up on syria. the question is how do you translate that rhetoric into action in a way that will send the appropriate message to assad? because after all, since president obama infamously
