>> i will just say this simply, two months ago, i went to -- in february, i went to nikki haley's office, and i met with her staffers and i informed them that my friends on the ground in syria are telling me that there might be a possible large-scale chemical weapons attack. they completely ignored me and this is not the first time i warn u.s. government about what's going on. i'd like to see president trump strike all assad airports and show him those days are over, otherwise i will just ask, like, with all due respect, ask him to just keep his mouth shut and not talk about big promises when he cannot deliver. >> okay. kassem eid, thank you for sharing your story with us. we feel your pain. i'd love to have you back and talk with us again when your memoir about life in syria is published this summer. thanks again for being here. the syrian people have endured seven years of war now. for information on how you can help, log on to cnn.com/impact.
