Middle Eastern Countries to find a way to transition syria from Bashar Alassad of the president to a democracy or russia can continue to support assad, iran, and hezbollah. He also offered his strongest declaration thus far on the future of Bashar Alassad. I think that its clear to all of us that the reign of the assad family is coming to an end. The question of how that ends in the transition itself could be very important. International efforts on that front have language for years, only a couple of hours before the secretary of state landed in moscow, russian president Vladimir Putin addressed the country, he denied assad used chemical weapons, said he wants the United Nations to launch an investigation into last weeks attack, the attack that prompted last thursday and said he believes russian intelligence shows that assad was framed in that effort. Whether he says thats directly to the secretary of state tomorrow is still up for question as the kremlin has been saying there is no official meeting yet scheduled between secretaries tillerson and the russian president. Sean. Thanks so much for joining us, we appreciate it. Joining us now from turkey with more on the situation is our own benjamin hall, with the latest there . Yesterday, the u. S. Said if the assad regime used more chemical weapons or dropped a barrel bombs that could cause more u. S. Strikes on syria. Thats exactly what they did dropping barrel bombs on and our profits, these are weapons decided to kill. Explosive, shrapnel, oil and nails dropped on hospitals per day have killed tens of thousands of people. If assad wants to find a betterr way of antagonizing the u. S. On this day he couldnt have found one. Also today here we spoke toy members of the Free Syrian Army backed by the u. S. At a safe house in turkey. We spoke to someone who actually came from the town bombed by the chemicals, they said of the attacks have galvanize the people have a listen. Life there is desperate now but the attacks have made a few more determined to fight the regime and protect our towns. But we need more help. But help, they need a flight nofly zone over the skies ande antiaircraft weapons which the u. S. Has category so that when i get to the rebels. Sean thank you, earlier today our own maria sat downha with President Trump in an interview it will air tomorrow in its entirety on the fox business network. Heres a quick preview. When you were with the president of china, you are launching these military strikes, was that planned . How did that come about that its happening right then . Right there you are saying a reminder, heres who the superpower in the worlds . You have no idea who want to hear the answer to this . I have watched speculation on three days now what that was like. I will tell you, i was sitting at the table, we had finished dinner, we are now having dessert. We had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you have ever seen. I was given the message from the generals that the ships are locked and loaded, what do you do . We made a determination to do it. So the missiles were on the way. Sean joining me now the host of mornings with maria, congratulations on a big exclusive. Lets start with what the president told you about syrian president assad and how he had to do something after being motivated by seeing those pictures of dead children, victims of that chemical attack, heres what happened. He is backing a person that is truly an evil person. I think its a very bad for russia, i think its a very bad for mankind. Its very bad for this world. When you drop gas or bombs or barrel bombs, these massive barrels with dynamite and they drop them right in the middle ot a group of people, in all fairness you see the same, no arms, legs, no face. This is an animal. I will tell you that when i looked at the pictures, especially when you see them on television, when you see these beautiful kids that are dead in their fathers arms or you see kids gasping for life and you know its over for them, they are hosing them down. Hundreds of them. When you see that, i immediately called general mattis. I said what can we do . They came back with a number of different alternatives. We hit them very hard. Now, are we going to get involved with syria . No. But if i see them using gas and using things that even some of the worst tyrants in the world didnt use the kinds of gases that they used. Some of the gases are unbelievably potent. When i saw that i said we had to do something. Sean obviously the president was very emotionally moved by those images. Also if you paid close attention to his campaign rhetoric, he wants to fight terror, he doesnt want occupation and he didnt want troops on the ground. He seemed to reiterate all of that to you in that interview, give us some more background and color as to what he was also saying. President trump knows exactly who the evil actors are in the world. I was very impressed in terms of his knowledge of whats happening in that part of the world and who is behind it. The truth is that many generals and military people out there no that former secretary john kerry did advocate doing something, limited to military action in syria. President obama time and time again rejected it. He did not want to do any military strike in syria. President trump saw those pictures, saw what was really happening on the ground and moved. Thats why he had broad support all around the world for those moves. I will say this, those sound bites that you ran when he said this is an evil man and russia is backing an evil person. That was in response to my question to the president. Asking him if, in fact, our relationship, the u. S. Relationship with russia has been damaged by this move. E. He said i dont know. But i will say this, this is an evil man and russia is backing an evil person. L i would say to you as Rex Tillerson meets with mr. Lab y rough in russia, he has more leverage, he goes into that meeting with more leverage because the world agrees with President Trump. In terms of what he just did, ht made it very clear he does not want to get in some longterm entanglement in syria. Having said that, he is going to take an action, make a move when he sees this done on humanity. Thats where he stands, he woule not commit to what happens next. We know that because hes never going to tell you exactly where what hes thinking and put their plan out there on the table. He definitely felt strongly in terms of this was something that he needed to act, the u. S. Needed to be up front on. Sean for eight months weve had this media Conspiracy Theory being pushed and advance without any evidence whatsoeverh of collusion between russia and the Trump Campaign, perhaps thae Vladimir Putin had information that would be compromising to then candidate and then president elect trump. Now hes president and he drew a really strong line in the sand that should put that to rest. Let me ask you because of courss we have more saber rattling from kim jong hes preparing for war with the United States, you ask him about that, lets play that clip. Pa you redirected navy ships to go to the Korean Peninsula what are we doing right now in terms of north korea . O you never know, do you . I dont talk about the military, im not like obama with a talk about it in four months, were going to hit mosul in the meantime they get ready and you never say it youre still fighting most of commit was supposed to last for a week ands now theyve been fighting it for many months. I dont want to talk about it. We are sending an armada, very powerful. We have submarines very powerful. Far more powerful than the eircraft carrier that i can tell you. We have the best military people on earth. I will say this. He is doing the wrong thing. Do you think he is mentally fit . I dont know, i dont know him. Hes doing the wrong thing. Sean whats fascinatingoi about this is hes not backing down, i get the overall impression between what he is saying, even isis and some of these other groups are saying, they are use to have very different america, a weak america, america thats not going to respond or will draw a red lines it is mean it. I think the worlds understanding that this is a very different country today. I think the era of leading from behind is over. President trump is basically showing the world that he will act when necessary. I dont see him wanting to get into a protracted entanglement here. Hes got our navy ships right there so that north korea understands we are here, we are ready, we are not going to sit back if, in fact, there are atrocities committed. Thats the bottom line. I think its so interesting that he launches those military strikes while hes with the president of china. You saw how it was all done and what he said about it. At the end of the day, what did he say to china as well. Sean china seems to bebe acquiescing on trade issues, w certainly opening up that door. Within what he said during the campaign, he will fight terror, doesnt believe in occupation. Certainly doesnt want troops on the ground and seems to be standing by that. Very important question you asked on the advantages of doing health care before his economic plan, let me play that and get a quick response. Were going to have a phenomenal tax reform, i have to do Health Care First to do it right. Do you have to do health care before tax reform . When i say with Business Managers as a tax form is so much more impactful to moving the needle on economic growth. Im saving a tremendous amount, hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on health care. Were going to have a much better better plan than obamacare which is failing. Sean alluded to the trillion dollars of savings if he is able to accomplish Health Care First. Thats exactly right, hes committed to tax cuts whatever it takes. He wanted to start the taxcutting plan without trillion dollars which of course is in place because obamacare taxes. A trillion dollars in taxes. Sean very timely interview and great questions, will be watching in the morning. That starts tomorrowre morning, 6 00 a. M. On the fox business network. Coming up next tonight, russian president Vladimir Putin is pushing bizarre, wild conspiracy theories that america is going to fake a new chemical weapons attack in syria. Thats nothing compared to what the ultraleft particle propaganda media is claiming about President Trump. Our opening monologue is coming up next, Monica Crowley is will be here with reaction and also tonight. For those that continue to seek improper and illegal entry into this country, be forewarned.

Sean welcome back to hannity, the ultra radical left, their cronies in the detroit trump media, theyre now sounding like Vladimir Putin when pushing their fake news conspiracy theories. The radical left is in complete meltdown mode and we are going to expose them, thats tonights monologue. Sean earlier today, the head of secretary of state rex tiller sends a trip to moscow, russian president Vladimir Putin started running with the wild claim that the United States of america is somehow going to fake a new chemical weapons attack in syria to justify further military action fromak President Trump. That sounds completely nuts, right . Because it is. The ultra radical left just right trump media have repeatedly been pushing this same types of insane conspiracy theories. Watch what its supposed to be called news, nbc and others. Wouldnt it be nice if it was just completely totally, absolutely impossible to suspect that Vladimir Putin orchestrated what happened in syria this week so that his friend in the white house could have a big night with missiles and all of the praise hes picked up over the last 24 hours. Wouldnt it be so nice if you couldnt even in your wildest dreams imagine a scenario like that. Wouldnt be great if we coull go back to wag the dog being a sitcom plot. Ill say it again, this russian connection just keeps building and every time but builds an expense you have to wonder if trump himself isnt worried about whats swirling around under the covers. Cnn has learned new detailser into the fbi investigation to potential links into individuals associated with a Trump Campaign in the russian government. A federal judge found that people in trumps organization were colluding with the russians was there somebody inside the Trump Campaign who was working with them and to the president know about that, and were they successful. Sean cute Twilight Zone its pathetic. What we have now is over the top line, bazaar, novel like conspiracy theories and the advancing of some of the most insane, craziest stories you have probably ever heard. Its unhinged and more proof of how completely biased these people really are. That has not stopped democrats in congress from doing the exact same thing. B they are as nutty as their friends in the media. Take a look at what Dominic Seth Mullen said about President Trumps decision to restrict syria, watch this insanity. One exception does not prove the rule, this could very well be interpreted as an intent by the administration to get out from under the claim that they are colluding with russia. Sean whats clear is thell ultra radical left are ignoring the truth and the facts. The media has been pushing without one scintilla of evidence this false narrative of President Trump colluding with the russians. This goes against what the former director of National Intelligence james clapper, the fbi director james comay, the nsa director admirable mike rogers have all been saying, there is zero proof of the trump russia collusion, they keep talking about for eight months. Watch the truth. You have no intelligence t that suggests any votes were changed. I have nothing generated by the National Security agency. Director comay do you have any evidence in the fbi that any votes were changed. No. First we cannot say they did not change any vote tallies of anything of that sort. We had no way of gauging the impact that the Intelligence Community cant gauge the impact they had on the choices the electorate made. Sean may be the destroyt trump media shouldd actually listen to what all those top government officials have been saying and try to report truth for once instead of these conspiracy theories. If the media wants to talk aboua interfering in an election, thee should go back at a focus on what the Obama Administration tried to do to the israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu back in 2014. A congressional investigation did find that an israeli Political Group used over 300,000 taxpayer dollars from the Obama State Department in a grant to actually create a political apparatus to defeat our best ally israel, Prime Minister netanyahu. Ive been saying since 2008, journalism is dead but the Partisan Press is now taking it to a new bazaar conspiracy low
