Individuals that were attempting to illegally enter into the u. S. My great honor to welcome the College Football national champions, the university of alabama crimson tide. Congratulations. Congratulations. [cheers and applause] [applause] american rock and roll. Steve came out last year. Kid rock. We are new york city. Wednesday telecast of fox friends. Ainsley a lot going on. We are talking this morning about how our country and european allies, what they are going to do after assad gassed his own people in that chemical attack and how we are going to respond. There are several things that are actually happening. Leading up there could be strikes within the next 72 hours. Brian it happened on saturday. Of the president has not done anything yet. He is meeting with his officials to come up with a plan. The word is the pentagon is very risk adverse. They are not coming up with an aggressive enough plan that is going to be significantly better and effective than a year ago where only a day or two amp we hit them with 59 tomahawks they were flying out from one of the main military installations that we had bombed. So, this time they want to hit comprehensively. This time they want the french and the british involved. Steve they do. And it looks like the United States and france are positioning warships within range of syria, within bombing range. The targets this time it looks like they are going to try to destroy the chemical weapons Storage Facilities in syria that are known. They are not going to try to push mr. Assad out of power. Now, it sounded like when the president talked a couple days ago it was going to happen at any time. The pentagon was not ready today they are going to deploy the harry s. Truman Carrier Strike group from norfolk. That could be positioned over in the western med very shortly. Also air Traffic Controllers are tell airlines hey, be careful of the Eastern Mediterranean because there could actually be an air strike that could impact your flight. Ainsley mediterranean is under greece and right next to syria and next to israel. If we send carriers into that area, youre right, europe is saying to the air Traffic Control its called the euro control, be weary there could be a sudden missile strike if you are a pilot flying in that area. Brian about an hour ago hopped on Hezbollah Television i dont get it on my cable system. Steve how do you know then . Brian im not sure. Said to us, if there are missiles coming from americans, we will go after those missiles and then go after the source of those missiles. So the russians are saying you better not. Syrians are moving their assets to an install place. We will hit every Syrian Military base is a target. If you are there, its your problem. They have about 40 planes. We have a lot more. Ainsley president met yesterday in the white house with Senior Defense and military leaders. He posted a picture on his twitter page showing all of them in the oval office. Im sure theres the picture, asking them for their advice. General jack keane, he says we need to hit them where it hurts. Listen. Listen, iran, russia, and syria, they are pariahs in international community. We have got to go after them in a very public way, condemnation sanctions and drag them in to the International Criminal court. I mean, it will make no difference to assad and no difference to iran ons. But it will make a difference to putin. His public image is very important to him. Particularly at home. We have got to go after these guys in a public way. Thats one of the reasons why russia has called anything we do perhaps any illegal military venture. But im a little confused because i remember the Barack Obama Administration said they got rid of all the chemical weapons in syria. Why are we now going to later today or tomorrow or the next day going to do everything we can to blow up their chemical weapons . Ainsley how about what happened at the u. N. Nikki haley, the u. N. Security council is saying lets just investigate what happened in syria. Guess who vetoed that . Russia. One of the main countries can veto that and it cant happen. Russia said no way. Steve because it never happened. Syria didnt do it. Brian five minutes after the hour. Yesterday the big story of the afternoon was about a five hour grilling or informational session between Mark Zuckerberg as well as as well as in front of the senate. Today he goes in front of the house. The question is he was extremely well rye hearsed in my estimation. Referred to his team countless number of times. Did he answer the question about our privacy. Did he answer the question, and its a tough one, what you deal what you deem hate speech and what you deal political speech and what you dont like. He was unable to answer a few questions or have you ever taken down a liberal pundits remarks or a liberal causes information . Steve heres the thing. He is in the hot seat because time and time again, facebook has screwed up. In their entire history they keep screwing up. He admitted they screwed up. Every time they screwed up he said well do better. Congress is ready to regulate. If you saw ted cruz yesterday grill mr. Zuckerberg you were probably cheering because you are going we never see this kind of interaction where have you somebody from the political right actually with one of these Big Tech Companies holding him accountable for the fact that through the last number of years, how many times have you heard that a Big Media Company like facebook has shut down conservative points of view . Well, ted cruz had had enough and let him have it listen. Facebook has initially shut down the chickfila Appreciation Day page. Has blocked a post of a fox news reporter, and most recently blocked Trump Supporters diamond and silk page with 1. 2 million facebook followers after determining their content and brand were, quote, unsafe to the community. To a great many americans, that appears to be a pervasive pattern of political bias. I understanding where that concern is coming from because facebook and the Tech Industry are located in Silicon Valley which is an extremely leftleaning place. And this is actually a concern that i have and that try to route out at the company is making sure we dont have any bias in the work that we do. Steve so he is saying california is a very progressive state. What is he going to do about it . Going to move the headquarters . Going to hire more conservatives . Brian he was saying perception. He said the perception from conservatives is because were in a liberal place that we will be unfair to conservatives. And there is a reason for that he came here and he briefed select number of people at fox about his point of view and visa versa what kind of business deals they tried to set up. I get really concerned. I dont know if there is an answer. He said Artificial Intelligence going to be able to siphon out hate speech. We know al qaeda and isis want to kill you, thats got to go. What about stuff thats prolife. What about stuff thats proabortion . What are they going to decide hate speech. What if you are progun is that hate speech . Steve why is it every Time Facebook takes something down its from the political right. They have got to do a better job. He said im sorry, im sorry, im sorry a million times yesterday. Now its time to see if they actually do it. Ainsley election medaling, apologized for censoring. Apologized. Steve scraping your info. Ainsley your info getting public and fake news. Brian Michael Cohen the embattled attorney of President Trump for decades. We know his office was raided. His temporary office was raided. Four places overall. They took out a number of important items, including taking the cell phone out of his hand after the fbi opened the door. They put their foot in the door, grabbed his phone and went through his offices. In a stunning turn, i cannot believe this. Michael cohen decides to speak with don lemon of cnn by far the most antitrump network on the planet. That includes msnbc. And speak with don lemon, who is a great guy, but couldnt be more antitrump. What was Michael Cohen doing speaking to don lemon about his inner most thoughts. Ainsley don was asking him what happened and he said the fbi was courteous and respectful. He said he was unhappy. He was worried and he was upset. He said im not going to lie . Do i need this in my life right now . No. Brian is that a message to President Trump that im turning, im flipping . Ainsley no. Steve apparently they were looking for information into payment made by a playboy playmate and that porn star. Michael cohen turns out owns 32 taxi medallians in new york. Ainsley thats big bucks. Steve every one of the taxis has to have a. Ainsley a Million Dollars each. Steve they used to be. He owes 53,000 in back taxes according to a state website. Ainsley get another loan. Steve this is not the mural investigation. This is the u. S. Attorney from the Southern District of new york looking into this kind of corruption. Alan dershowitz takes a look at all of it given the fact that he has been the fixer for the president so long. For this guy to be in this kind of legal payroll, peril, ts a problem. It will make it harder for lawyers to trust their doctors, their priests, their spouses when people will say look, even the president s most Confidential Communications with his lawyer can now be searched just based on probable cause, which is a very, very low standard, i think there will be great distrust of relationships that are very important to american society. Confidential relationships between a priest and a pen tant and doctor and patient. Brian he met with the president. He said i would feel the same way if Hillary Clinton was president and they were doing it to her. I think this is a really critical time it almost seems like the media is pushing the president to fire Rod Rosenstein, pushing the president to fire Robert Mueller as if they are saying please, create a constitutional crisis. Clearly the president feels ill served. Clearly the president feels boxed. In clearly he is irate and trying to get some type of strategy together while trying to handle this middle east crisis and everything else. Steve apparently mr. Dershowitz had been scheduled to be there. It had the dinner had to do with his work with middle east peace. Brian thats what he said but i doubt it. Steve thats what he said. No doubt about it. We had a guest on yesterday that said Jonathan Turley said that this is all being done as bait. Go ahead, mr. President , look what im doing to you. Fire somebody. And blow yourself up. But from everything we have heard from the white house, while they say he has the authority it doesnt sound like he is gonna. Brian also evaluating according to a report an hour ago whether he is going to sit down or how he is going to interact with Robert Mueller at all. Does this change the calculus. Second personal turning on Paul Manafort about what he is doing. If you are trying to pressure the president and his inner circle, you are doing it. Steve still, no collusion and that was the whole idea in the beginning. Brian 12 minutes after the hour. A fox news alert now. President trump weighing his options to respond to syria. U. S. Warships are heading to the region right now. Our next guest says we are past diplomatic recourse. Lieutenant expwren Richard Newton, he will share it. Ainsley we got an exclusive look at protecting our border from the water this time. Sir, were you trying to cross to america . Ainsley Griff Jenkins asking that question.

Brian fox news alert now. Tensions with syria heating up in every way. U. S. Deploying Armed Nuclear power to the middle east, including the uss harry truman falling assads alleged chemical people on his own people saturday. Is this the right course of action . Lieutenant general Richard Newton chief of staff joins us right now. This would be your branch that is going to be heavily depended on to inflict the damage. Does it bother you that we have waited since saturday to act because word is that syria is moving their assets to the russian bases. Good morning, brian. Its good to be with you again. Not particularly. I believe that the president has been huddling with his National Security team, particularly u. S. Military leaders and certainly with secretary mattis to go over a range of options. That could be, you know, could be as simple as what we did with the strikes tomahawk missile strikes we did 7 april 2017 to a more robust air campaign. I believe its appropriate and certainly suitable for the president to go through these range of options and for the military planners, the pentagon planners in this case to provide those options and forces ready in place to strike as the president presumably would call for. Brian we want to get the french and british involved. No word from the british. The french are leading our besides helping us. The fact that they are with us . I think thats very important. My sources tell me that the British Royal air force could be a player as well. But as you mentioned, brian, the French Air Force as part of a broader coalition, which will make it a different, more robust approach than we did, again, back last april when you and i had that conversation last year. I think you will be looking for more of a collision strike. A coalition strike. This strike is important but what is the strategy behind it. Brian what happens if they do it again in a week. Do we do it again in a week. They used it days after we bombed it last year. Hopped on lebanese tv if there is a strike by americans missiles will be down and we will go to the source of those rockets. So theyre saying dont do it. And if you do it, we are coming after you. Whats the american reaction . I believe the american reaction is the president has led this effort is to, as i would say, stand tall in the saddle. Putin only understands power. The russians only understand power. They will respect that look at the panoply of options it will be more robust than last time. More than just a single strike. A prolonged campaign over a couple days using coalition forces. One thing important to consider the commander of the u. S. Forces in the middle east of u. S. Central command said last week that we have got it look at whats ahead of us. That includes all instruments of u. S. National power. Diplomatic, economic, financial and certainly military. We have got to allow u. S. Our tools such as the civil, you know, programs to provide for stabilization and so forth are very important that we follow along this effort. Not just whats going to happen near term but long term as well. Brian general Richard Newton, thanks so much. My pleasure, brian. Brian well talk to you as this action gets into place. Remember the school that armed its teachers with rocks . One district is stepping to the plate with a new line of defensive baseball bats. Do you feel better now .
