So at the end of the day, you got to have a military response that destroys assads capability to do it yet again. >> barbara was laying out, it is tough to decide what option to hit. what is a good option? you would be forced to take out the air force, but doesnt sound like taking out the air force would have stopped if the chemical attacks come out of a helicopter. >> well, if their bases cant used for fighter jets, thats a step in the right direction. i would go after all the infrastructure ar...

Inflict costs directly on iran and russia. which could include targeting of additional bases that include russian and iranian military personnel. in some instances co-located on an individual base. >> jennifer, this is a question i have not heard asked over the last few days. im going to put you on the spot and ask it to you. does the president have the authority to attack syria without congressional approval again? >> well, look, im an expert in syrian -- in the syrian war and on u.s. options i...

Benefit that assad was going for being behind this attack? why do this now? >> yeah. that is the first thing, why would the syrians do this when they dont need to? they have that area surrounded. theyre pounding it into submission. they have a deal for the fighters to leave and go up to idlib, so why do it now? militarily you can look at this and say if we make it so painful and so horrendous in the long run it will be over faster because well cause the resistance to collapse. that might have be...

The president here. so you have to keep this from happening. do you think democrats need to be careful about the use of the the "i" word. >> you have a few that have mentioned impeachments. adam schiff said the democrats should be cautious about this and let the evidence play out in all of these investigations. but the bottom line to this is that the republicans are using this to rally up their troops, both parties do it from time to time, but this is nothing more, in my opinion, than a scare ta...

Thats where we find ourselves again. if the goal is to get rid of assad is, what comes next. what is the united states prepared to do to own that outcome? >> obviously you have a very divided head here. the president clearly doesnt want to be in that kind of business. he has been very resolute about that over the years. you have the fact that israel, to your point, david sanger, seemed to be the proxy agent if reports are true on who september the missiles down and may have done some damage on o...

President trump planned to fortify the southern border with national guard troops. some are hailing that plan and others are saying its just a political stunt to shore up his bases for the midterm elections. joining me now is tamo lahren and antonio sabato. i got your name wrong. >> antonio sabato jr. steve: everyone needs to know how to say it properly. >> antonio sabato jr. steve: one thing i was reading. this issue of immigration was one reason encouraged you to make the shift. >> we are livi...

Things. israel is nervous about i ran. i can understand why. their ability to ship arms to lebanon, from lebanon and use them against israel. this is why i dont think the united states has the luxury of pulling out. were not going to have anyway to achieve a victory. we cant have a resounding success. >> shepard: there is no victory. >> theres shades of gray that go from mediocre. for the security of israel and jordan and for the defeat of isis for the weakening of iran. >> shepard: the russians...

Raillies gave the united states a heads-up yesterday about their attack in response to some of these developments. that does make the situation different than a year ago. does it not? >> it does. we looked today at how much traction that iran has gotten in syria in terms of the number of bases and malitia. so from a year ago today, i ran presents a threat to itself, especially if you look at the events that occurred just about two months ago in terms of the drone and the fighter jet. what i thin...

>> i think the president thinks we can get a better deeg if we do it individually. lets get those done. if we have 500 million that like to trade with us, they are around china. do you think china doesnt fear the possibility of having the united states having relations with all of those countries right around the area that they are trying to expand once again into? they are one road or one road within belt approach, which is trying to take care and control all of the sea lanes and shipping lanes...

Deployment of the national guard by barack obama, he never really answered the question. that was entirely uncontroversial of the time. republican governors understood that the threat of narco trafficking in the fact that terrorists do know we have unquestionably a national security issue. this is a pure political ploy by these governors. they are pandering to increasingly radical leftists bases, lost their minded immigration. >> tucker: if youve got 60,000 americans or more dying every year fro...
