But we begin tonight with a remarkable and dramatic day in the nation's capital. less than one week before congress officially reconvened, a senate hearing on a u.s. military strike against syria on which secretary of state john kerry offered dire, some might say hyperbolic, warnings of the consequences of inaction. >> the opportunity for other dictators and/or terrorists to pursue their own weapons of mass destruction including nuclear weapons. i will tell you there are some people hoping that the united states congress doesn't vote for this very limited request the president has put before y...

Including john mccain, lindsay graham and others, not only want the president to go ahead and launch strike against targets inside syria but want to go further than what the president says he wants to do. these are members of your own party. why is there this serious split between those -- shall we say more libertarian isolationist types like you and your son, senator rand paul and people like john mccain and lindsay graham? >> i think people are waking up. there's been a tea party movement, grass roots movement. the young people in the congress on our side of this, look at bipartisan support ...
