I think thats why you see markets come back. This is a strike that made sense and comfort with markets. Even with the support that we are hearing, the next thing that we will start hearing is the question, mark, about legalities of what President Trump decided to do, in this case seems that President Trump we wanted to send a message in first 100 days when he felt he was being tested. The chemicals weapon attack was a test and our ability to protect the humanitarian situation on the ground and i do think we will be hearing criticism from other side about legalities of what he did. Maria we will talk about that. President trump strikes syria 59 tomhawk missiles hit military airfield in syria. Missiles were launched from the uss ross and uss porter last night. They were focused on striking airstrips, hang ars and control towers. The commander in chief said this is in response of the chemical weapons attack that killed dozen civilians earlier this week. Is in the vital security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons. There can be no dispute that syria used banned chemical weapon violating its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and ignored the Un Security Council. Years of previous attempts of changing assads behavior have all failed. Maria joining us right now fox news military general jack keane, thanks for joining us. Good morning, maria. Maria your reaction. Jack this president has acted out of the humanitarian need, standing up for the moral underpinning of the United States that were not going to underwrite a dictator and a thug using weapons of mass destruction. This is a proportionate limited attack designed for one thing only, change assads behavior. Maria obviously the use of tomhawk, 59 missiles were launched. Lets talk about the reason for that. This is an unmanned missile obviously precision as well. Jack yeah, very effective. 98 probability of kill within about 5 meters. These weapons hit what theyre shooting at. We didnt go to the five airfields where the rest of assads air power and infrastructure is at. Thats why im saying its a proportionate attack. Certainly theres room to do that based on assads reaction to this. I think the geopolitical implications of it far exceed the military impact and by that i mean President Trump has spent the first 70 plus days in office reassuring his allies that American Leadership has returned to face the Global Security challenge thats facing not only us but allies. Hes done that in far east and europe and middle middle eastern leaders. That absolutely reassures our allies, adversaries, russia, iran, north korea, china all paying attention here and certainly its going to have some impact on them as well. We have been doing the opposite about our unability to act and now we have a president thats taken some action and has upside implications for the United States and also allies. Maria lets talk about that. We have not seen a response from russia. Russia has been aligning itself with the assad regime, wt you think russia does here and what are our military options Going Forward . Russia has a couple of options. First of all, we have to hold russia accountable for not getting rid of the chemical weapons which was the agreement that we cast with them in 2013 and was supposed to be gone by 2014. Obviously russia didnt do that. Obviously assad didnt do that. We all said that probably would not happen and we have evidence of that now. Secondly, russia is still in a pretty good position. They have propped up the assad regime in syria, the iranians are on the ground, the regime is no longer being threatened as it was back in 2015 when russia came in with its air pilot to sustain the regime. Secondly its possible that putin would be willing to give up assad if assad does anything more along these lines but they will never give up the regime infrastructure. In other words, we will trade one thug for another thug. Theres nothing in syria thats simple or easy. Jihadists are the dominant Opposition Force today far exceeding the capability of the syrian moderates who the russians crushed almost immediately when they started air campaigns and we did nothing about that. In other words, we had a surrogate on the ground and they were crushing them and we did nothing other than rhetoric to tell them to stop bombing the syrian moderates. Russia is still very much in the drivers seat here. They can concede at some point but they would want sanctions removed, recognizing annexation of crimea and what they are doing in eastern ukraine. Hes a tough negotiator and we will see where we go in terms of diplomatic effort in russia from here on out. Maria maybe theres leverage here for russia. Maybe they say, look, we wont we wont see consequences here, but we want our own sanctions lifted, we know that has been aligning with syria. Russia warns u. S. Strike against syria would have consequences. So i guess what im asking is really what response would you expect from russia at this point . Well, russia is certainly not threatening any military response. I think the fact that theyre saying its going to have consequences on the relationship, certainly it will. It gives us leverage with the russians because we have taken Decisive Action here. Anybody thinking that based on the campaign that somehow theres going to be some sweetheart relationship between the United States and russia can put that out of their minds. Maria right. Jack last week Rex Tillerson and james mattis both spoke about russia in terms of its trampling of u. S. Interests and allies and now we have act today punish a russian surrogate inside syria and the first time the government of syria has ever been attacked by the United States and thats russias ally. So they are going get that message to be sure. Maria right. The secretary of state also said that pointing to russia for not removing the chemical weapons in syria. We have his statement in fact, he says this, clearly russia has failed in its responsibility to deliver on that commitment either russia has been complicit or simply incompetent on delivering its end of the agreement. So tillerson is head today moscow next week, general, hes going to meet with russian counterpart. Do you think america and russia comes together to fight future equipment cap weapon chemical weapons attacks. Jack i think the russians are pretty frustrated with assad. While they enable assad to kill Syrian People remember this, the russians have committed war crimes in syria. They used penetrated bombs to destroy underground hospitals, thats a war crime and have bombed the Syrian People even more effectively than the assad regime because the assad regimes air power is a mere shadow. The major air power component in syria is russian. They are very much complicit although they may not have a direct hand in the chemical weapon. They will certainly tell assad to knock this off because all it does is play on russians hands. The regime for sure is not going anywhere propped up by the iranians and russian. Maria what do you look for in rms of next step . What are youocused on . I think that the trump team will continue to do what they said they were going to do and that is take isis down. I hope that we do that with the participation of the Coalition Forces which im telling you revitalized and reinvigorated as a result of discussions theyve had with President Trump and also the action today. They have always we wanted to help in syria and the Obama Administration has pushed back maria yeah. Jack they wanted to help years ago against the regime. The facts on the ground have changed. They will go on with isis. I think longterm, theyll try to work something out to bring an end to the Syrian Civil War. Maria we will leave it there. General, always a pleasure.

Good to see you. Great to be here. Maria we saw earlier in the week jobs were looking better, what are you expecting today . Economists are saying that the job number today could be 175 to 185. Ive seen some even ramp that number up. I actually think we can see a stronger number hopefully in 200, the last three months we have been averaging 209,000 jobs created and we have seen great times and manufacturing has come very strong, 28,000 jobs created last month, so i expect we will see manufacturing construction, professional and Business Services. Again, maria, wages is probably another key point to Pay Attention to. There really is a skill shortage and the market is getting tighter with unemployment being at 4. 7 . So we are seeing and i see it on the front lines with employers, they are having to start paying people more and they are very focused on retention in trying to get employees engaged so that they dont lose current staff. Maria we know the numbers are baring that out. We saw the adp numbers, dagen, and it was a strong number. Dagen also construction, construction had the highest number of jobs created in the month of february in a decade. So the good weather is helping the Construction Industry 58,000 jobs there, but we all know that Home Construction and particularly new home sales, thats a real driver in the economy. Maria we will see if we see more on the consumer end of things. A couple of sectors that are showing strength. So far its been health care and technology largely in addition to construction. Its important to remember how numbers are with uncertainty in the market, strong economic numbers are ballot. Dagen the high optimism that you see in the ceo surveys does it translate to hiring .

First here at home lawmakers quick to respond to the military strikes with some applauding the move also deriding it. Florida senator marco rubio, longtime critic praised the president s action. It was the right decision for a number of reasons, number one, assad had signed an agreement not to have chemical weapons. It was an agreement that the russians and the United States were signators and had Un Security Council resolution and they have violated that and therefore needs to be consequence, russia is not going to enforce it. They are helping them.
