trump s supreme court nominee neil gorsuch. the question is, will this forever change congress and bipartisanship as we know it? also, abrupt about face. the chairman of the house intel committee devin nunes announcing he will step aside into the investigation of russia s meddling in the 2016 election. you re watching cnn. i m brooke baldwin. whoever threw it has to go get it. not me! somebody will get it. (dog barking) anyone can dream. making it a reality is the hard part. from the b-2 to the upcoming b-21, northrop grumman stealth bombers give america an advantage in a turbulent world. and we re looking for a few dreamers to join us. it s my decision ito make beauty last. roc® retinol, started visibly reducing
they see it, not the way we see it. president xi now officially in florida. we re waiting for president trump s arrival and that will happen within this hour. we ll take that live. let s pivot to syria. president trump may be about to retaliate for the atrocious crimes committed by the syrian president against his own people. we are now getting word that president trump has told some members of congress that he is considering u.s. military action in syria barbara, first to you, what else did the source say about the president s plans? i think we have to be very cautious here, brooke. we don t know if the president has made a decision. all indications are at this point he has not. but he is letting it be known around washington that he s considering it, that he s thinking about it. so what do we know?
there s been certain mistakes but because of the chemical strikes which is horrific, now suddenly that takes priority over five years of bombing hospitals and civilian populations with the same kind of barrel bombs where tens of thousands have been killed and suddenly i hear a lot of members of congress saying we need to strike right now. to what end? i m a military guy. you better give me a mission and tell me what to do and that is not coming clear. the passion of striking seems to have overwhelmed many in washington. what i d say is, we ve seen this movie before where you re talking about regime change. if there s not someone there to take over the regime, it s not good. if you re just doing retaliatory strikes, you look weak. it probably is not going to affect assad s potential given that he has both russian and iranian allies fighting alongside of him.
